It’s Girl Scout cookie time and every weekend in March the Girl Scouts will be in front of WalMart selling those tasty treats; Thin Mints, Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Shortbreads, Thanks-A-Lot and the new Daisy Go Rounds.
For more than 80 years the Girl Scouts, with the enthusiastic support of their families, have helped ensure the success of local Scout activities by selling cookies.

All of the proceeds, every penny raised, from our local Girl Scout’s cookie sales remains right here at home. This revenue is used to benefit the girls, some of it directly by remaining in the Girl Scout troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout program in the local area.
Once you are finished eating the cookies don’t throw those boxes away!
The Girl Scouts are collecting as many empty boxes as they can for a special project they have in the works. Empty Girl Scout cookie boxes can be dropped off at Plumas Bank, 3000 Riverside Dr. or at Mt. Lassen Properties, at 822 Main Street.
If you would like cookies delivered to your door you can call Vicki Lozano at 257-8087 and a girl scout will fill your order.

This is a follow up to our day in history from March 2nd, 2009 titled “Brainwashing rumored... Susanville, Nevada? ‘Yes!’ Says Council”
Prepare to Repel Invaders
March 19th, 1959
Nevada lawmakers are making preparations to host a contingent of California legislators and their wives for a showdown on the border dispute between the two states.
Sparked by Assemblyman Don Crawford (D Washoe), Nevada is staking claim to a strip of California land estimated between 20,000 and 40,000 square miles on the east slopes of the Sierra. The neighboring state has rejected Nevada's claim but accepted a challenge offered by Lt. Gov. Rex Bell to settle the issue.
Bell offered to settle the issue with clubs in Reno - golf clubs that is, on the Hidden Valley Country Club course. The challenge was immediately taken up by California's Lieutenant Governor Glenn Anderson.
Several non-athletic Nevada senators objected to becoming involved in such a fracas. Instead, they maintained the two lieutenant governors should fight a duel. Washoe County’s senator Peter Echeverria even offered to write a provision in the state's dueling law to exempt the president of the senate. Bell turned down Sen. Echeverria's offer by saying the issue was bigger than any one individual and all elected representatives should take an active hand in the defense of their state.
Many of the communities in the disputed territory encouraged the Nevada legislature. Bishop, California, sent a telegram to Bell asking for application blanks to the national guard and declared a state of semi-emergency. Susanville readied the ancient cannons on display in front of the court house and formed a militia to man the weapons.
The actual battle will take place on the golf links with the respective governors, Gran Sawyer of Nevada paired of against California's Edmund G. 'Pat’ Brown. The wives of the two top executives will also be paired in a golf contest. The vanguard of the California invasion force will arrive in Reno shortly before 11 o'clock Saturday morning. A plane bearing the secretary of the California senate, the clerk of the assembly, their wives and a large contingent of California newsmen will arrive at that time. California legislators, arriving in a giant plane a few minutes later, will be greeted by a band and color guard.
The visitors then will be escorted by the Nevada legislators and the state's chief executive to Hidden Valley Country Club for luncheon. The golf tournament, putting and driving contests, and other competition will follow. The next social event will be a cocktail party, followed by dinner with entertainment and dancing. The final shot in the border war will be fired at 1 p.m. Sunday when the California and Nevada legislators will be guests of Harold’s Club for a luncheon. The entire seventh floor of the club will be devoted to that event.
