In the Pipeline: Tired of AQMD's non-responsive behavior
People keep asking me whether I think the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) will vote June 7 to ban beach bonfires in much of Southern California. I've been invited to speak before several groups in the last few weeks, and the...Tags: Vietnam War (1955-1975), Local Government, Book

In The Pipeline: A sign of the past turns up, along with its delightful owner
How strange to be sitting at lunch at the site of the old Meadowlark Airport with the man whose name will be forever intertwined with it. For years I've read about Yukio "Dick" Nerio, who purchased the airport in 1947. But it was his son Art Nerio...

In The Pipeline: Anti fire-ring AQMD member's odd resignation

In The Pipeline: From on the water to on the ice
My idea of a boat is a kayak, so that is the boat I own. As I tool around Huntington Harbour during spring and summer, I still marvel at the many yachts that dwarf my blue plastic Ocean Kayak, so I was pleased to accept an invitation to ride in the...

In the Pipeline: Air quality leaders' responses not based in facts
OK, hot off the presses, grim lowlights from the new Air Quality Management District (AQMD) staff report, published Wednesday, with proposed amended rules for 444, the beach bonfire ban.

In the Pipeline: Time to stand up to AQMD

In the Pipeline: Something fishy going on with fire ring ban
The Air Quality Management District's (AQMD) heavy-handed approach of ceremoniously banning fire rings in Huntington Beach (and across Southern California) without providing any specific evidence certainly seems suspicious and even underhanded.
