THERE'S NO CRYING IN WARFARE
By Ben Trefry On Tuesday, the Mono County Board of Supervisors, county staff, and members of the public headed to the Mountain Warfare Training Center located in Pickel meadows north of Bridgeport to see the base from the inside. This tour, which was part of the Mono County Board of Supervisors meeting, achieved an impressive turnout of around 70, far above the one or two dozen that staff were expecting.
LADWP COMMISSIONED LOCAL FOCUS GROUPS
What did they want to know? Who knows? But they now know many of us know very little. By Ben Trefry Two months ago, about a dozen community members were gathered at the Memorial Hall in Bridgeport to participate in a focus-group style study for Nichols Research, enigmatically titled ‘County Concerns’ – which, as it turned out, was commissioned by none other than the LADWP.
LEE VINING, MAMMOTH COMPETE AT MT. SAC
Lee Vining and Mammoth XC teams hang out in the shade before the race. On Friday, October 19, cross-country teams from the Eastern Sierra raced at the biggest high school cross-country meet in the world, at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif. – better known as Mt. Sac. Spanning two days and comprising 79 races of about 150 runners each, the 71st annual Mt. Sac Invitational is running elevated to a spectacular scale.
LEE VINING HOPES TO SLOW IT DOWN
On Tuesday, July 24, Caltrans and MIG (a public outreach firm contracted by Caltrans) invited Lee Vining and Mono City residents to talk sidewalks and traffic signals over donuts and fresh tomatoes. This and the online survey sent out about a month ago are part of an ongoing public outreach campaign to determine what improvements locals would like to see when Caltrans makes changes to Highway 395 (which cuts through the heart of town) in the next few years.
TEARING IT DOWN TO THE STUDS
Editor’s note: Here at The Sheet, we occasionally assign books for young staffers to review in order to broaden their horizons (and yours). Years back, Devon Frederickson was famously assigned War and Peace during a period of unusual orneriness. By comparison, Ben Trefry lucked out with his assignment: Studs Terkel. “Working” is a near 600-page book by famed journalist Studs Terkel. As the title suggests, it’s all about how ordinary Americans feel about their jobs.
