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 [...]

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 [...]

All hail the snowmakers! Dear Editor: The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce, and its members, would like to send an especially huge “THANK YOU” to the snowmakers, who have dedicated long, tedious hours to make skiing & snowboarding holidays a possibility. These folks are the original snow makers who started back in Oct 22. Some [...]

The following letter was sent out this week to Mammoth Mountain employees by CEO Rusty Gregory. A letter from Rusty Dear Editor: The company has completed its most successful Christmas and New Year holiday period in my 34 years on the mountain. Never in our history have we hosted so many guests with so little natural [...]

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 [...]
