In The Pipeline: Anti fire-ring AQMD member's odd resignation
The bonfire fight has never been hotter (or weirder) then it is right now. On April 12, I went to visit Assemblyman Allan Mansoor in his Costa Mesa office. I have been in touch with a number of local elected officials about the looming draconian ban...

Mailbag: No need for fire ring ban on all beaches
I have been a citizen of Orange County for 37 years and have frequently enjoyed the beach and the fire rings. Never have I heard of a problem until this year.

Mailbag: Saving the Earth hardly starts with fire pits
Melville tells us in the opening lines of "Moby Dick:" "Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries — stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all...Tags: Business, United Nations, Politics, Auction Service, Air Pollution

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.

Mailbag: Even those without clout can dislike fire rings
I read Chris Epting's perspective on the beach fire issue this morning and I wanted to give you another perspective. I live in Huntington Beach about two blocks from the beach.

Mailbag: Changes not good for Suburbia Park
I would like to make some corrections/additions to the letter titled, "LeBard changes will benefit community" in the Nov. 6 Forum section of the HB Independent.

Natural Perspectives: Live long and help the Earth prosper
For about 12 years now, Louann and I have been writing columns for these pages. We regret that this is our last. Presumably, the Independent will be going in a new direction. Unfortunately, the folks there have decided that we — and many other...

Mailbag: Now is not the time to ban bags
Broc Coward's treatise is excellent, save one major issue that he chooses to ignore — the timing is all wrong, just as are Alaska oil and Wyoming shale restrictions, stricter Environmental Protection Agency industry requirements, tougher auto gas...Tags: Bribery, Politics, Citizens Initiative and Recall, Corporate Crime, Economy, Business and Finance
