There is no doubt about it, �I Am Sold on Oroville!�
It has been such fun getting acquainted with the town and the people who make up the town. It has been a privilege to submit my ramblings to the finest editor I have ever known, Patti

Oroville Seniors know how to have fun! Check them out at Gold Country Casino on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8 a.m. until 1 o’clock. You think they go there just to gamble? Well, think again—just watch them ‘cut-a-rug.’ Whoopee!

Do you take your life, your community, your friends for granted? I mean do you just expect everything and everyone to be the same as when you were first introduced? I just realized I have only lived in Oroville a couple of years and because I already ha

I like people. I adore happy people, who look for the good in others. I love being a part of a small community, that gets more exciting each year when the season changes from rain and cold, to summer fun and games. I believe Oroville is experienced in ent

They aren’t shy, they tell it as it is … The Fun Starts Here! Where? In Oroville, of course! It is a small, historical town, with a big heart, a lot of pride, and massive talent. Oroville loves company. To prove it, the Downtown Business Association

To answer your question ... “How did Della lose her groove?” O.K. ... I missed you too, but I needed a break. Still, you should know the truth. Your e-mails, snail-mails, and stopping me downtown and inside local markets when I thought I was up earlie

Spring is coming, rather slowly, but it is on the way. Somewhere I heard, “March showers bring April flowers.” I’m okay with the rain, just pray winds are light and colorful blossoms won’t be blown from the trees. Aren’t these flowering trees, that we

It isn’t just the young who seek romance, companionship, and adventure in the new year. It is February, 2010; we all think hearts and valentines, love and hugs. But more important, It’s Leap Year! That means, girl can invite boy. Enough said. Mother ca

It may still be raining in Oroville. Chains may still be required on Highway 80, heading towards the ski slopes. I heard there were rocks on Highway 70 towards Qunicy. I also know, the local merchants are in the process of switching inventory. That me

If I asked for the shirt off your back, would you give it to me? I bet you wouldn’t. Yet, I found someone in Oroville who would, and did! That’s right—she actually gave me the sweatshirt off her back. I didn’t know her; had never seen her before in my lif

It is time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new year. I, for one, had a great Christmas. It was filled with family and friends, laughter and tears ... even memories of yesteryears. Too soon it passed. But now, I look forward to what i

I have to tell you, I met up with some tiny elves at Frontier Christmas at the Visitor’s Center in early December. They told me, “It’s Christmas Time in the North State! And we do it in style.” I asked what they meant, and they replied, “Snow ... Snow.

This is the time of the year, when family, friends, neighbors and out-of-towners gather to enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving. It is also that time of the year, where folks like us begin to prepare for Christmas, by locating exceptional bargains. So, when you

You say spring cleaning wears you out? I say getting ready for fall and winter is far more complicated. Families and friends begin to prepare for the festivities of the season. It is past time to get your flu shots, true. But not too late to remind yo

Have I fallen down on the job? I hope not! Trying to keep up with all the activities and excitement can be overwhelming, at times. Still, it is so much fun to live in a community where the people really care for one another, and work overtime designing ne

The longer I live here, the better I like it! That is, life in The North State. I am especially fond of the quaint, friendly and very talented community of Oroville, California. I previously enjoyed a successful career marketing real estate in Manteca, Ca

This is my very favorite time of the year: The goblins are out and about, in colorful costumes. Trick or Treaters, young and old, come knocking at the door. The weather cools off, and hopefully the rains freshen the air, feeding the lakes, rivers, and

In my last column I left you dangling. That’s right, I said, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it, and many in our small community have lived to realize dreams do come true.” One such person is Bud Bolt, the founder of Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it! I know that for a fact, because I see it all over this community. Dreams turned into reality. Wonderful dreams that have come true for those who were diligent and put forth the effort. Take for instance the nex
