​June 8, 2026 ​Free Portable Air Cleaners Available to the Public ​With wildfire season upon us, residents are being reminded to take advantage of a portable air cleaner giveaway to protect themselves from smoke and dust. ​The free items are available through the new Eastern Sierra Air, Information and Resilience (ES-AIR) partnership, which recently gave away 33 portable air cleaners at local Earth Day events. More cleaners are available at the Inyo County HHS-Public Health & Prevention’s family-focused LIFE Night on June 11 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Consolidated Office Building, 1360 N.

The collaboration also includes h...

​News Release Vitalant ​Contact Kristin Conner, kconner@vitalant.org, (916) 761-2788 ​June Blood Donors Needed to Save Lives During Critical Summer Months ​Vitalant thanking donors with a limited-time $15 gift card ​Bishop, CA - June 5, 2026 — As school lets out and schedules change for the summer months, blood donations dip, but patients don't stop needing transfusions during what many doctors refer to as "trauma season." Vitalant urges all eligible donors to help keep the supply stable in June. ​Alyssa Chase had a fierce passion for exploring the outdoors until a motorcycle crash caused multiple traumatic injuries and broken bones. She received six units of blood to help her to survive, and after five years and multiple surgeries, she still has some lasting side effects from her injuries. But she is grateful for having a new chance to get back out there. ​"I still travel often and hike when I can. I'm not as active as I used to be, but I try to live...

Eastern Sierra Dog Rescue Kidalalooza Dog Adoption Event We had a great dog adoption event today at Kidapalooza in Mammoth. Seven dogs came (4 from Mono County, 3 from Kymberlee who is fostering), and one of Kymberlee’s got adopted (see photos below). There was quite a bit of interest in the others, so we’re hopeful. The dogs had a great doggie day out, if nothing else.   Our next dog adoption event is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, at Crowley Lake from 10:30-1. Please let me know if you are available to help, or if you are fostering and would like to bring your dog. I’ll know more about what dogs and how many as it gets closer. We will have a flyer to share shortly.   Update: The older dog who was found in Rovana may be in luck! The lady who took him home has an appointment at the vet on Wednesday for a wellness check. If the dog is in good health, she has a man who will take him. Fingers crossed! Thank you all for your continued support! Cori Stearns Eastern Sierra Dog Rescue htt...

June 5, 2026 Credit Cards Now Accepted at the Bishop Sunland and Lone Pine Landfills Inyo County residents now have an easier way to take care of their disposal needs. The Bishop Sunland Landfill and the Lone Pine Landfill currently accept both cash and credit card payments, making transactions faster and more convenient for customers. Despite these service upgrades, landfill rates will remain at their existing low, affordable prices. As always, Inyo County reminds residents: don't forget to recycle. "Our landfill space is limited, and by recycling properly we can preserve that space and manage our waste responsibly for years to come," a spokesperson said. For more information, please contact Inyo County Public Works at (760) 873-7191 or visit the Recycling and Waste Management webpage at https://www.inyocounty.us/services/solid-waste. https://sierrawave.net/credit-cards-now-accepted-at-the-bishop-sunland-and-lone-pine-landfills/
