Lassen Municipal Utility District customers can exchange a non-perishable food item for a box of energy efficient LED Christmas lights as part of the utility’s annual “Food for Lights” collection drive. The food collected will benefit local food banks.


The goal of program is to increase awareness and promote the use of LED lights in LMUD’s service territory while helping replenish local food bank shelves after the holiday rush.


Lights are distributed to LMUD customers on a first-come, first-served basis, until supply lasts. There is a limit of one box per household for the first 200 customers.

In addition to the light giveaway, LMUD offers a rebate of up to $3 per box to customers who buy EnergyStar qualified LED holiday lights. Visit www.lmud.org for program details and fill out the online rebate application.


For more information, contact LMUD Public Relations Manager Theresa Phillips at 257-4174.

2 Men Injured in Air Mishap

December 11, 1941


One person was seriously injured and a passenger slightly hurt Thursday afternoon when a Taylorcraft airplane struck a power wire and crashed as it was attempting to make a spot landing at the Susanville municipal airport, five miles east of town.


Clyde Deal, pilot, and Phil Malfa, both of Susanville, were in the accident. Deal recently purchased the new plane and was taking Malfa for a trial spin.


In landing, the undercarriage struck the power lines, causing the plane to nose over, strike the ground and flip over on its back.


Both occupants were rushed to Riverside Hospital here. Malfa was released yesterday, but Deal is badly hurt, suffering extensive scalp wounds, fractured skull, fractured left collar bone and minor cuts and bruises.


This is the first accident at the local airport. The plane was badly damaged.
