10-21-2008 Bishop is becoming greener and saving money at the same time.
The City of Bishop plans on upgrading lighting, heating/air conditioning systems and using natural means to provide maximum energy efficiency, while keeping costs at a minimum.
This project comes on the heels of a 2007 energy audit of all city facilities conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power at the request of the city in an attempt to create the most energy efficient facilities possible.
The Community Services Department has drafted a three-phase plan that includes planting shade trees and bushes, installing energy efficient lights and changing or upgrading the heating and air conditioning systems. |

10-21-2008 Officials and dignitaries from all over Inyo County gathered Friday evening to honor and say their final goodbyes to retiring Inyo County Chief Probation Officer Jim Moffett.
Moffett’s friend, colleague and neighbor, Judge Dean Stout, presided over the event, providing those in attendance with a brief look into the retiring chief’s accomplishments and a chronology of his career.
The Inyo County Superior Courtroom was filled almost to capacity with people Moffett has touched throughout his career, each one sharing stories and kind words of a man often described as a “leader” and a “professional.”
“I am deeply saddened at the retirement of Mr. Moffett,” Stout said. “I quickly came to appreciate his wisdom, guidance and experience” throughout his time in Inyo County. |

10-18-2008 Yellow ribbons are once again gracing the store fronts, homes and schools around Bishop as part of Yellow Ribbon Month to honor U.S. soldiers overseas.
This year the ribbons have taken on additional meaning, as they have been dedicated to the memory of Lone Pine resident Corporal Wayne Marshall Geiger, who was killed in action during combat operations in Baghdad in October 2007.
The ribbons were put up by the local MOMS Club, the Mothers of Military Servicemen and -women.
Marilyn Nicholson, president of the MOMS Club, said the ribbons are not about raising money, but raising awareness and help keep soldiers in the hearts and minds of the community. |
