Law Enforcement Special Olympics Torch Run Set for June 16th
A team comprised of local law enforcement professionals is raising funds and awareness for the Special Olympics with a torch run through Susanville planned for June 16th.

Here is how it works: The group of runners will carry the torch along a 1.9-mile course beginning at the old courthouse uptown and ending up at 2950 Riverside Drive; our job is to contribute to their cause and cheer them on!
You can follow this link to make an online contribution in the name of a runner, like Anna Townsend, Dusty Pemberton, Chief Jennifer Branning, Lesandra Rodriguez or others and then line the course on June 16th to watch the torch go by!

So far, the team has raised $870 dollars, all of which will go to the Special Olympics of Northern California.
CHP Report: Susanville Man Killed in Motorcycle Crash on Highway 395
A 29-year old Susanville man, whose name is still being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was killed May 26th, after he failed to negotiate a turn and he lost control of the 2021 Harley Davidson he was riding.

At around 12:45a.m., according to the CHP report, the unidentified rider was traveling southbound on US 395, just south of Byers Pass Road when, for reasons still under investigation, he lost control while negotiating a left curve in the roadway.
The motorcycle left the roadway and the rider was ejected.

A passing motorist happened upon the crash and notified first responders. Despite lifesaving efforts on scene, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries.

The name of the rider will be released after notification of family.

Great Northern Wins Lassen Approval
May 31, 1929

The Lassen County Chamber of Commerce at a special meeting last night voted 18 to 7 in favor of supporting the Great Northern – Western Pacific railroads’ application for a permit from the interstate commerce commission to build two hundred miles of railroad between Klamath Falls and Keddie.

The vote was taken after speakers from the Southern Pacific and rival railroads had presented their arguments for and against the proposed construction.

Earlier in the day the board of supervisors of Lassen county refused by a vote of 3 to 2 to intervene in the matter.

Edward C. Thomas was the principal speaker for the Southern Pacific at last night’s meeting, and Col. Charles S. Albert for the Great Northern. Elliot Epsteen appeared for the shippers’ committee of the Good Railway Service Association.

Colonel Albert contended that the lines would open a rich territory now without adequate transportation facilities.
