Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Michael Haldane
By Terra Avilla
You may know him as Michael Haldane, “Mike”, or Sgt. Haldane. He will forever be known to me and my family as “Uncle Diz.” The nickname “Haldizzle” stemmed from a nickname (that he loathed… so of course it stuck) provided to him...
Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Summit Funding
By Terra Avilla
Last week was a big week for the Avilla the household - we became homeowners! Now Frankie is stuck with me for at least thirty years (insert evil cackling).

Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Elizabeth Darley
By Terra Avilla

Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: The Susanville Symphony
By Terra Avilla
Young, little Terra, with my awkward haircut, braces and my choker necklace wanted so badly to be with the cool kids. The kid who was good at something - sports, singing, knowing all the words to the newest song by Eminem. Something....

Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Lassen High School Security
By Terra Avilla
If you asked me to name the security guards at my high school when I went there, I could not even tell you what they looked like. During my work at Lassen High, I can tell you that out of the 900+...
Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Dr. Christina Carlton
By Terra Avilla
In the rotating, long line of careers that my five-year-old expresses an interest in, I am most hopeful about her interest in becoming a doctor.
Not that I wouldn’t be enthused about her recent interest in being a “fish babysitter,” a large part...
