Feels like déjà vu Dear Editor: Our community cannot afford our current Town Council’s inability to understand its legal commitment to pay its debt to Mammoth Lakes Land Acquisiton. This is ultimately going to cost property owners, business owners, local families, second homeowners, and the hard working people who live in our community $7,000 a [...]

Thoughts on Bourne Dear Editor: We just returned from the memorial service, or as some prefer to call it a “celebration of life,” for Andrew Bourne. If one did not know the backstory here, when all was said and done one might have thought he was Mother Theresa with sixpack abs. I saw more photos [...]

Mr. Bourne was having inappropriate communication that was deeded “sexual” in nature by the DA of Santa Barbara. As a psychotherapist that specializes in working with [...]

Compressed log warning Dear Editor: Just about everyone in town is aware of the house fire that occurred in town a couple of weeks ago. If it had not been for the awareness of an 8-year-old girl, it is very possible that her mother may not have made it out of the structure alive. An [...]

Thinking out loud Dear Editor: Just thinking out loud in light of many governmental atrocities committed by both appointed and elected officials. I’m wondering if anyone in a position of power (town attorney, District Attorney, State General Attorney, City Manager of Bell, Calif. Robert Rizzo) is an example to be followed? The Town has been [...]

Did you hear it? Dear Editor: Did you hear the gun go off? Well, it was the proverbial ‘starting gun,’ so it may have been hard to hear. But it did go off, and the race has started; we are striding forward on our way to the ‘bell lap,’ ready to sprint for the finish [...]
