It could certainly be considered a case of strange bedfellows.
On one side of the bed, Mammoth Lakes, supposedly filled with affluence and arrogance.
On the other side, Mono County, supposedly rural, not rich, resentful.
When it suits them both, they get along fine.
When it does not, they do not.
Such was the case Tuesday, April 5, when the subject of smelly, dirty garbage revealed the ongoing tension between Town and County.
Garbage, of all things.
Many tips of the cap to Mammoth Finest, who volunteered at Angels to wait tables on behalf of Disabled Sports. Funny: Many passersby called the restaurant, wonderinâ was wrong, what with all those cop cars. Chief Dan Watson was the maitre dâ and sez he ainât quitting his day job any tme soon. ...
Did Dr. Mike Karch pull off a miracle at the Mammoth Biathlon? Yes he did, with bad weather, 200 volunteers to manage, many athletes and coaches to herd, etc. âDid you resign your other job?â asked councilman John Eastman. ...
Next yearâs biathlon already set for March 23-25. ...
People driving by on S.R. 203 wanted to know what all the police cars were doing at Angel's Wednesday night, April 6. It was Tip A Cop, a fund raiser for Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra.
Lines were long, cops were waiters, hamming it up, all to the tune of $2028 raised for DSES.
"Our gracious hosts, owners Todd and Melanie Nagy of Angelâs, along with their fantastic staff, made sure MLPDâs volunteer waiters looked good and got everyoneâs order right. They also contributed to the total by pledging 10 percent of the nightâs receipts," says an MLPD press release.

TIME FOR MAMMOTH TO PAY UP
This lawsuit has been going on now for around 14 years. I understand that the city does not want to pay and should do what it can to not pay. I would bet that if Mr. Terry Ballas owed the city of Mammoth $30 Mil they sure would not let it go this long. This is a good example of how big government can mess with someone.
The court system has more than once told the city to pay up, but still after 14 years they have not paid the man what is due him. If the city can hold out for more years, Mr. Ballas will be broke and may not be around to get what is due him.
