Mailbag: Columnists give needed eco-friendly advice
Too bad we're losing columnists Vic Leipzig and Lou Murray — and especially their fascinating accounts of cruelty-free egg farming. We need more such positive info on eco-friendly alternatives (rather than just nagging and laws telling us what... -
Mailbag: Community activism different than 'bashing'
Is Drew Kovacs a wannabe Tim Geddes? His letter ("Tim Geddes for City Council?" Mailbag, Sept. 6) would suggest that his envious carping might conceal some personal agenda of his own. I personally don't have one, but if sticking up for the community or...Tags: Separation of Church and State, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Auction Service, Islam

Mailbag: Plenty of deserving laurels for Hardy
The message of the article "Hardy gets nods in race" (Aug. 23) is a harbinger for the local elections in November. Former mayor and two-term council member Jill Hardy did an outstanding job of representing all of the neighborhoods in Huntington Beach...Tags: Local Elections, Elections, Politics

City Lights: Thoughts on gunmen, victims and the media that reports them
It's rare that I remember a magazine cover a decade and a half later, but one that has stuck in my mind — and not in a good way — is the issue of Time from the week after the Columbine High School massacre. Anyone from the class of 1998,...

Community Commentary: We need Fig for local coverage
Well, here we are in the throes of another spectacular summer, and just days after the Fourth of July — a holiday that has put Surf City on the map with the "largest parade west of the Mississippi."

Sounding Off: Both sides need to settle down over Bolsa Chica mesa
I am responding to the various and sundry letters published by the Independent on the general subject of the work being done on the Bolsa Chica mesa, its possible (mis)management by Bolsa Chica Land Trust folk and commentary/reportage by Lou Murray on her...Tags: Huntington Beach, Mountains, Landforms

Sounding Off: Columnist went too far at mesa meeting
At the Bolsa Chica Land Trust town hall meeting on the Community Promoted Restoration, or CPR, plan, Independent columnist Lou Murray crossed the line from environmental defender to self-serving personal vendetta.

Mailbag: How about leashes for cats?

I agree with the goal of preventing people's...Tags: Renewable Energy, Health, Physical Conditions, Solar Energy, Arts and Culture
