  1. PPL tree cutting is electrifying, but there's a good motive

    When it comes to a choice between forestry industry profits and bats, it makes sense to go with the bats.
    When it comes to a choice between forestry industry profits and bats, it makes sense to go with the bats. That was my position just 11 days ago, while discussing the "white-nose syndrome" that has wiped out millions of hibernating bats in the eastern...

  2. Tara Kolla, L.A's down-to-earth urban farmer

    Tara Kolla was born in Inglewood but grew up in Europe. She came back to Los Angeles, to a half-acre Silver Lake plot, where she decided to try her hand at "urban farming." Her neighbors objected, so now she mostly works other people's land, and works to further the cause. We met in Hidden Canyon, the aptly named acres in Glassell Park whose owners invited Kolla to cultivate and grow market flowers. Here are rows and beds of hyssop, black-eyed Susans, honeywort, zinnias, mums and ornamental cotton flowers. I plucked a boll of what I'll call "Glassell Park long staple." Because of people like Kolla, laws have changed to permit farming, of a sort, all around town. What was once the single most profitable agricultural county in the nation may just be coming back, one urban plot at a time.

  3. ASK PETE : Phone line may help with concerns

    Q. I'm contacting you in regards to an issue that I originally submitted a request for back in early August to the City Department of Traffic and Lighting. As of today, the request has not received a final response, so I thought I would drop your office a line and see if you could be of assistance. The traffic signal going east or west on Jackson Road through Miami Street (south side of South Bend) has an excessively long red (light) ... longer than a minute. This is quite extreme at a corner that is not very busy.

  6. We must demand to know exactly why beloved Senator tree burned down

    The Senator, one of the oldest trees in the world and a local gem, died in a mystifying fire on Monday, but I'm not buying the cause.

  10. Gardening in Hampton Roads: The disliked sweetgum tree is actually a good tree to grow

    Sweetgum, a tree most people dislike because the spiny fruits drop and hurt your feet when you walk on them, is a valuable food source for songbirds and squirrels that eat the plant's seeds.

  11. Give houseplants some winter care and they'll clean the air in your house

    When winter keeps you housebound, surround yourself with a few houseplants for an indoor garden. The plants help clean the stuffy, stale air that your heating system pumps out and they give you something pleasant to focus on.
