🙌🏻Another Pure Siskiyou Community Shoutout!🙌🏻

If you’ve spent any time inside Bella Art Works Creative Cafe, you know it’s more than a creative space. It feels like home! And a big part of that is Talya Nicholson.

Talya has a way of going above and beyond for her community and the people around her, whether they’re longtime staff, former staff, or someone walking through the door for the first time. More than once, she’s made people feel like family, even after their time working there has ended.

This nomination came from someone who wanted it known that Talya gives so much of herself, not for recognition, but because she genuinely cares. Through creativity, mentorship, and sheer heart, she continues to make our community better just by being who she is.

Thank you, Talya, for building a space where people feel seen, supported, and inspired. Siskiyou County is better because of you. ❤️

As I plan content for the coming year, I would love to hear from you!

What businesses, restaurants, clubs, sports teams, hiking trails, or beautiful outdoor spots across Siskiyou County do you think are worth highlighting?

I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to feature everything suggested (free time is always a factor), but your recommendations help shape where I focus my time when I can get out and shoot.

👇 Drop your suggestions in the comments or feel free to DM the page if you’d rather share privately. 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year of celebrating Siskiyou!

If you haven’t stopped in here, it’s a must! The Farmhouse Bakery in Etna, California has absolutely delicious food and drinks! Also, who doesn’t love seeing a phone booth on the way in?

🔥🚒 Starting 2026 off strong and making education accessible!

Huge credit to everyone who put in the work to offer free wildland firefighter training to adults in our community this week. Through Adult Education Pathways, Scott Valley Unified School District, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation, CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit, and interagency partners including the U.S. Forest Service - Klamath National Forest, participants were able to earn crucial certifications like S-130, S-190, and L-180 without cost being a barrier.

People showed up from all over Siskiyou County, and even as far as Santa Barbara, which says a lot about the value of opportunities like this. Free education creates real momentum. These individuals are starting the new year better prepared, better equipped, and ready to step up for our communities when fire season arrives!
