LADWP is concerned that the Owens Valley has experienced a second consecutive dry year. [...]

The Prime Meridian  Dear Editor:  So, Michael Raimondo proposes to rename Minaret Road in honor of our local icon. Great idea, wrong road. The problem is, Minaret is an ideal name for the road that leads from our town to a spectacular view of the multi-spired Minarets in the Ritter Range of the High Sierra. [...]

Sealant program needs rethinking   Dear Editor:  I commend Mr. Geisel for his in- depth analysis of dental sealants (The Sheet, March 30).

Does Turner pass smell test? Dear Editor: It was interesting reading about the data error leading to outrageous commercial charges to local businesses [The Sheet, February 9]; this came after my own visit to Turner Propane to complain about residential bills. Data error? I’m not sure I believe it; the explanation doesn’t pass the smell [...]

First things first  Dear Editor: Regarding short-term single family rentals, Sandy Hogan writes, “A detailed inventory of what we have would therefore be the first step …” I gently suggest that this is putting the cart before the horse. Before we spend a lot of time and effort with inventory and subsequent analysis, we, as [...]
