Bishop Union sophomore Wyatt Miears is headed to the California State Championships after an outstanding performance at the Central Section Masters Championships held Saturday, May 23, at Buchanan High School. Coming into the meet as the 4th seed in a field of 18 of the top discus throwers in the CIF Central Section, Wyatt started strong with throws over 180 feet in the opening rounds and found himself sitting in 1st place early in the competition. After advancing to finals and earning three additional throws, Wyatt delivered when it mattered most. On his final attempt, he launched a throw of 184 feet, 3 inches, finishing 3rd overall and securing his spot at the California State Championships. One funny moment from the meet — many of the athletes competing against Wyatt had never even heard of Bishop, California, and were shocked to learn his school has only around 600 students. Despite coming from a small town, Wyatt continues proving he belongs among the best throwers in the state. W...
Vision To Learn Helps Students See at School in Rural Mono and Inyo Counties
School-based mobile eye care provider Vision To Learn provides rural students in California’s Eastern Sierra with free eye exams and glasses since 2015
More than 1,400 kids provided with glasses to-date
MAMMOTH, CA – For students in Mammoth, CA, getting an eye examination is no easy matter. The closest optometrist’s office is in Lake Tahoe, a nearly three-hour drive away. This leaves families with no easy option to bring their children for their recommended annual eye exam.
Since 2015, Vision To Learn has worked to bring vision care directly to children, in Mammoth, Bishop, and smaller communities in California’s Mono and Inyo Counties. The nonprofit charity uses mobile vision clinics – an optometrist’s office on wheels – to reach students in communities where poverty or rural distance makes it difficult for many students to get the glasses they need to succeed in school.
“More than 3 million chi...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 22, 2026 Contact: Austin Gilbert Email: austin.gilbert@asm.ca.gov Assemblyman Tangipa Applauds Introduction of Congressman Vince Fong’s CAL Repayment Act Clovis, CA — Today, Assemblyman David Tangipa announced his support for the Creating Accountability in Loan (CAL) Repayment Act, introduced by Congressman Vince Fong, legislation aimed at restoring accountability for California’s unemployment insurance debt and protecting taxpayers and employers from the consequences of state mismanagement. The CAL Repayment Act would require states with outstanding federal unemployment insurance loans, including California, to prioritize repayment of those debts before using future flexible federal funds for other purposes. The legislation comes as California remains the only state in the nation with outstanding federal UI debt, now exceeding $18 billion. Assemblyman Tangipa expressed strong support for the measure, stating: “California families, farmers, and small...
