The Plumes County Board
of Supervisors unanimously
voted to sign a letter of inter-
est, telling the state it would
consider selling Dame
Shirley Plaza and the build-
ing across the street, which
houses the building and plan-
ning departments, at a Tues-
day, Dec. 21, meeting.
County Administrative Of-
ricer Jack Ingstad told super-
visors there would be no com-
mitment on the part of
Plumas by signing the letter,
it was just letting the state
Administrative Office of the
Courts (AOC) know the coun-
ty wasn't completely opposed
to the idea.
This will allow the AOC's
local broker, Randy Barlow
of Coldwell Banker Pioneer
Realty, to do appraisals of the
properties and attempt to ne-
gotiate with the county.
Indian Valley Supervisor
Robert Meacher asked if the
state was looking at both
properties for use in one
courthouse plan or was con-
sidering them as two sepa-
rate options.
Ingstad said the conversa-
tion he had with Barlow was
short and didn't get to that
level of detail.
Graeagle Supervisor Ole
Olsen commented that he
wanted the state to consider
the armory building as well.
It was fitting that in his
final meeting the outgoing
supervisor had one last
opportunity to argue that the
courthouse be located there,
as he has backed that propos-
al for years. At this point, it
seems unlikely the AOC is
still considering that option.

Supervisor Lori Simpson commended outgoing District Attor-

ty's youth while presenting him with a resolution of appreci-

The busy folks at the Lake
Almanor Elks Lodge No. 2626
are again going all out with
yet another effort to help off-
set the cost of medical care for
3-year-old Alexandra Gaither
of Lake Almanor.
The newest endeavor is a
spaghetti feed and silent auc-
tion. It will be held Friday,
Jan. 7, in the lodge in Old
Town Chester.
The dinner will begin at 5:30
p.m. and features spaghetti,
salad, French bread and
dessert, all made by two Ital-
ian sisters and guaranteed to
be delicious!
Tickets are available at
David Price Jewelers and at
The Coffee Station. The cost is
$10 for adults and $5 for chil-
dren 5 years and under.
Toni Pleau is chairing the
silent auction. If you have any
items to donate, call her at
596-4995.
The Lake Almanor Elks
Lodge-sponsored Wheel
Around Lake Almanor Hand-
cycle Challenge made a $1,000
contribution toward Alexan-
dra's medical costs Dec. 20.
The 3-year-old suffers with
an incredibly rare and life-
threatening medical condition
called Langerhans cell histio-
cytosis.
Histiocytosis is an extreme-
ly rare immune system disor-
der and is also the general
name for a group of syn-
dromes that involve an abnor-
mal increase in the number of
immune cells called histio-
cytes.
Histiocytosis has typically
been thought of as a cancer-
like condition. It is an autoim-
mune phenomenon, in which
immune cells mistakenly at-
tack (much like PAC Man) the
body, rather than fight infec-
tions.
Extra immune cells may al-
so form tumors, which can af-
fect various parts of the body
including the bones, skull,
and other areas.
In Alexandra's case, this
disease, which can be present
anywhere in the body, is situ-
ated from the back of her neck
upwards into her head.
