Fourth of July fireworks displays at La Jolla Cove and Lake Murray have been traditions for years. But a new tradition has sprung up: environmentalist challenges to the annual shows. Encinitas lawyer Marco Gonzalez has given notice that he may continue pressing his case to halt these shows, even with the legal matter on hold. (And the Lake Murray fireworks have been canceled for 2012, says organizer John Pilch.) Should CEQA, the state environmental protection law, apply to once-a-year shows like these? Or should exceptions be made for displays beloved by many?
Poll: Should It Be Lights Out for July 4th Fireworks Displays Over Water?
Encinitas lawyer Marco Gonzalez has been driving force behind environmental challenges.

This is wonderful news. Congratulations to the students, their instructors and Academy staff…Read More members -- and to the supportive parents. A theatre education is the best!

Aunt Judy was probably a very lonely person and turned to comfort in a bottle. What a darn shame.

And you know what ladies, if you don't like Batman's way you don't have to do it Batman's way. This…Read More is America, not Batmerica, and it's not Flanderstan either.
My grandmother's sister decided to become a career woman instead of geting married and having a family. She started and ran a very successful accounting business, back in the 1930s! So who needs Flanders and his women's lib? There's nothing standing in your way, there never has been. Flanders and the rest are lying to you.
Aunt Judy did become an alcoholic though and died rather young because of it. Would that have been different if she had been a family woman? Nobody knows.

'Batman',
Yes, I generally agree to the actual point you seem to be making. The lameness of others…Read More attempts, at disambiguation or trying to inflame general consensus are well... lame! We are hindered by our displayed masculinity and only have a peek into the wonderment of women - they choose to share!
I certainly do not agree with the confusion of 'Jac' or the passive/aggressive tendencies of say 'BA2's view of your comments... so we are up our backwards respective trees in our woods in even trying to communicate the special nature and deference given to women everyday in life and the laws/tenets of our more forward country. The UN? is no card to draw comparisons from. The Bircher's had one thing right... get US out of the UN! Their somewhat covert destructive efforts and self-prepossessing influence are bane upon our shores IMHO and wherever they go, it seems instability follows IMHO. No explanation will be provided for 'Jac'.
'Ya know... in this instance, I would love to hear what say 'Libi' might share, but it appears to me... she is fittin' a fight for all of us in the region against a phalanx of bullies - men and women. I may not like everything she says, but right now she has my ear now and added respect, possibly in need some of support for straightening things out in IB/SD's rising Mortal Storm there? I invite you to look into that, if you have not already.
Alas... we are only backwoods men.

Thanks, Kyle for posting this. I'm not sure how things were in the past, but as a Patch editor, I've…Read More seen that blogging and engaging readers directly is a great way to market a book.
