Back on the map.The harsh sentence of humiliation by obliteration A destruction; an eradication of written words. Obliteration is a method of revoking a Will or a clause therein. Lines drawn through the signatures of witnesses to a will constitute an obliteration of the will even if the names are still decipherable. has been lifted: The Los Angeles Times Los Angeles Times Morning daily newspaper. Established in 1881, it was purchased and incorporated in 1884 by Harrison Gray Otis (1837–1917) under The Times-Mirror Co. (the hyphen was later dropped from the name). has reinstated the Venture County city of Santa Paula Santa Paula (săn`tə pôl`ə), city (1990 pop. 25,062), Ventura co., S Calif., on the Santa Clara River in a fertile valley that yields citrus fruits, avocados, vegetables, flowers, nursery products, and walnuts; laid out 1875, inc. to its daily weather map. Santa Paula residents opened their newspaper one day in January to find their town had been literally wiped off the map. The City Council adopted an ordinance A law, statute, or regulation enacted by a Municipal Corporation. An ordinance is a law passed by a municipal government. A municipality, such as a city, town, village, or borough, is a political subdivision of a state within which a municipal corporation has been calling for a one-day advertising boycott of the Times, and about 25 picketers protested in front of the newspaper's Venture office. Martha Goldstein, the Times' vice president of communications, said that fire-fighters who provided the Santa Paula weather information were often out on call and the newspaper couldn't depend on them. Ken Chapman solved the problem: The Times now gets the temperatures from a Web site that automatically reads it off the weather station in his lemon orchard. "It was reliable and it's indeed back on the map," Goldstein said last week. |
