Mailbag: Solar panels pose safety threat
The Huntington Beach City School District has voted to place solar panels in front of our school ("District stands by solar panel decision," Jan. 13). A few things should be pointed out: 1. Not one person is against solar panels. It's all about where...Tags: Elections, Newport Beach, Los Angeles Times, Politics, Landforms

In The Pipeline: Park was once a ranch house
After last week's column on the historic site where the Western Trails Museum used to sit, I thought I'd follow up with one more piece of the past. The day Maria Hall-Brown and I visited the old site to tape a segment of PBS SoCal's "Forgotten OC"...Tags: Travel, Tourism and Leisure, Monuments and Heritage Sites, Human Interest, Landforms

Mailbag: DUI stats should guide policy
We do not need more bars in downtown Huntington Beach ("ABC officials approve license," June 9). Our crime and DUI rates are off the charts. The taxpayers have to pay for the law enforcement costs. So, why did these folks protest the license? It's not...Tags: Justice System, Drunk Driving, Human Interest, Dining and Drinking, Entertainment

Natural Perspectives: Mea culpa for last column
I made a goof in my last column about the Bolsa Chica Land Trust's plan for the mesa. The error is mine, not Vic's. I said the Land Trust was going to excavate no deeper than 8 feet to bury its 2,825-gallon water tanks in the ground. Actually, the tanks...Tags: Health, Alaska, Injuries and Wounds, Elections, Wind Power

Mailbag: Egypt should heed lessons of Iran
I pray with Mona Shadia ("Hoping for freedom in 'my' Egypt," Feb. 3) that Egyptian people will get freedoms that have been denied to them. However, I also would like to caution Egyptian protesters about the probability of a new regime that could be more...Tags: Health, Iran, Elections, Natural Resources, Physical Conditions

Community Commentary: Columnists have mesa plans all wrong
Earlier this year, when we saw the plans for the restoration of the lower bench of the Bolsa Chica Mesa, we were thrilled. After all that has been achieved at Bolsa Chica, "CPR (Community Promoted Restoration) for the Mesa" is the next step in...Tags: Health, Alaska, Elections, Natural Resources, Wildlife

Mailbag: Plan is cause for concern
I must say that Lou Murray was right on about the proposed construction on the Bolsa Chica Mesa ("More like a 'heart attack for the mesa,'" Natural Perspectives, Feb. 10). Not enough scrutiny has gone into the project as of yet. It involves too many...Tags: Health, Heart Attack, Elections, Chevron Corportion, Human Interest

Natural Perspectives: Land Trust's composting plan is no good
Editor's note: This removes the paragraph regarding the water tanks, which will be above ground, not in pits that were to be no larger than 8 feet deep.
Vic and I learned early this week that the California Department of Fish and Game has extended the...Tags: Endangered Species, Conservation, Elections, Lakes and Ponds, Natural Resources

The Bolsa Chica Land Trust has prepared a restoration plan for a 118-acre portion of the Bolsa Chica mesa, most of which is currently fenced. The area includes Warner Pond and the former Bolsa Chica Gun Club site, both of which are environmentally...Tags: Endangered Species, Health, Conservation, Biology, Wind Power

Natural Perspectives: Getting to the bottom of drained wetland
A new freshwater wetland formed at Bolsa Chica, but someone drained it. That's right, someone drained a wetland at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Vic cautioned me to handle this issue with a cool and level head, but it chapped my hide to think that...Tags: Biology, Lakes and Ponds, Natural Resources, Los Angeles Times, Manufacturing and Engineering
