The Beauty, Benefits, and Joy of Dancing…

February is the season of love, and in the North State, love is often found on the dance floor. Picture it: the soft strum of a guitar, the rhythm of feet tapping and the joyous laughter of friends, old and new, filling the air. Dancing isn’t just an activity here – it’s a way of life...

The Victorian Gillis House in Yreka…
Romanticism as a movement may have actually predated the Victorian period, but it’s hard not to fall in love with a Victorian house. That’s what happened to Cynthia Sandberg, the owner and restorer of the treasured Gillis House in Yreka. “The Gillis House had already been on the market for about a year when I was Googling ‘Victorians for sale’ in the entire United States. I’d always wanted one, and I could see from my searches that if I chose to go to the Midwest, I could probably afford one. But then one day, I decided to try my search in California and found this one about a six-hour drive from where I lived. At 7400 square feet, I thought, ‘Wow. This place is huge,’ and I couldn’t believe the price. I didn’t want to drive to see it, because it really was a pipe dream. But I continued checking in every few months and kept seeing the price get reduced bit by bit. One day, I happened to be driving from Oregon back down to California and decided to just stop by and take a gander at it. I ended up making an even lower offer than what it had been reduced to, and couldn’t believe it when they accepted it. Then I thought, ‘Oh, no. What the heck have I got myself into?’”...

Three Generations and More Than 70 Years with Field’s Jewelers…
Daniel Clover loves gemstones. A jewelry appraiser at Field’s Jewelers for 30 years, you’d think he would have reached a plateau of interest in diamonds and emeralds and rubies by now, but he still avidly pursues his industry’s trade shows, hoping to see something new, and still experiences excitement when a hopeful customer brings a rare and precious heirloom to his store for appraisal...

Plumas Ski Club Keeps NorCal History Alive with Longboard Races…
Going to Johnsville Ski Bowl in the winter provides a blast from the past, especially if you go during a longboard race.
Held on the third Sunday of January, February and March, Plumas Ski Club hosts the Historic Longboard Revival Races at Johnsville Ski Bowl, inviting people to strap on 1860s-style wooden 9-16’ skis and point them down a snowy slope, hoping for the best. Participants are dressed in 1860s ski attire and race each other head-to-head in a single elimination format. The winners of each division then win belt buckles that are passed on from year to year...

Birdwatching at Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center…
Crowned the country’s national bird in 1782, bald eagles were once in danger of going extinct. But with the habitat protection afforded by the Endangered Species Act, the banning of DDT and numerous conservation efforts, bald eagles can now be found in just about every state except Hawaii. One of
the best places to see them in winter happens to be right here in northern California on the eastern edge of Siskiyou County...

Gerard Minakawa’s Sweetshoots in Manton…
Right in the middle of the sleepy town of Manton, the new Sweetshoots acts as the perfect pit stop for those exploring Northern California.
In its couple of months of being open, hunters, bikers and lots of local kids have frequented the café/market/watering hole/local hangout.
Award-winning industrial designer Gerard Minakawa opened Sweetshoots in October during the annual Manton Apple Festival. The place was formerly a dive bar/market called Manton Corners but had been closed for seven years before Minakawa reopened it as Sweetshoots (the general market originally opened in 1902). Now as an all-ages establishment, many locals said that they’ve been in Sweetshoots more in its first few weeks of being open than they have in their many years of living in Manton...
