ABIDE BY WOOD BURNING RULES
The Town of Mammoth Lakes continually monitors air quality, and will announce “no wood burning” days when air quality is forecast to approach unhealthy levels. To find out if wood burning restrictions have been announced, call 760.934.1010, listen to local radio or sign up for air quality notifications via the Town’s Notify Me feature at http://www.ci.mammoth-lakes.ca.us/list.aspx.
Only burn clean, hot fires. Check your chimney periodically for emissions. If smoke is clearly visible, then your fire needs more air, the wood is not dry enough, or not split small enough.

IT’S A WONDERFUL (RADIO) LIFE!
Every year Frank Capra’s classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” plays on television screens across America reminding us of the story about dreams, sacrifice and redemption. In the story, when George Bailey considers ending his life on Christmas Eve, an angel shows him the light. This year Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Shira Dubrovner, brings that story to life in a lively and different way: live on stage at the Edison Theatre as a 1940s-style radio production.
The sound effects will be created on stage as the actors read from scripts at their “microphones” like in the 1940s when families gathered around the radio together and listened to President Roosevelt’s fireside chats, news reports and stories being “acted” out.
“It’s a Wonderful Life,” the live radio show, will play Dec. 8-18 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., and on Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. Special tickets prices for this family-friendly production are $15, or $12 for seniors and students. Group and block bookings available.
