PUBLIC FORUM DESERT ROUTE.Re ``Questions about Yucca'' (Editorial, July 16): I also don't think the Department of Energy can be trusted when they say they can transport the high-level nuclear waste safely through our cities. Now that we have a place to put it away from most people at Yucca Mountain Yucca Mountain, mountain in the SW Nevada desert about 100 mi (161 km) northwest of Las Vegas. It is the proposed site of a Dept. of Energy (DOE) repository for up to 77,000 metric tons of nuclear waste (including commercial and defense spent fuel and high-level , Nevada, I suggest they build a route through the desert, maybe through the Antelope Valley This article is about the Los Angeles County region. For the census-designated place in Wyoming, see Antelope Valley-Crestview, Wyoming. The Antelope Valley and past Barstow and Baker, where hardly anyone lives. That way when the inevitable radioactive contamination Radioactive contamination is the uncontrolled distribution of radioactive material in a given environment. The amount of radioactive material released in an accident is called the source term. happens we can just (hopefully) evacuate those areas and not go there again for the next 100,000 years. There aren't that many poppies left out there anyway. - Stephen Fischer Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.

See Synonyms at punish. 2. city Secession has been compared by many to a divorce through the issue of alimony alimony, in law, allowance for support that an individual pays to his or her former spouse, usually as part of a divorce settlement. It is based on the common law right of a wife to be supported by her husband, but in the United States, the Supreme Court in 1979 . With this in mind, divorce has never been voted on - especially by the abusing party. Suppose the Valley (the victimized party) sues the city for divorce (secession) - it would be the city that owes the Valley alimony! The city should not have a vote in this matter and should be penalized pe·nal·ize tr.v. pe·nal·ized, pe·nal·iz·ing, pe·nal·iz·es 1.

Should it be necessary for a tax increase after secession it would be welcomed as the monies would remain for services locally - rather than lower taxes with no services to show for them at all. - Gary Hendrickson North Hollywood Businessman Magic Well, the L.A. city Valley-bashing bunch signed up Magic Johnson “Earvin Johnson” redirects here. For the Milwaukee Bucks center, see Ervin Johnson. Earvin Effay Johnson, Jr. (born August 14, 1959 in Lansing, Michigan), nicknamed Magic , a prominent businessman, to their team. Fine, but where are the everyday people, the passion, to keep L.A. together? It isn't there and never will be, only a money and favor trail. A note to Magic: When you hear the truth about how the Valley and Los Angeles will continue to succeed after the Valley becomes a city you won't be backing the mayor for anything. Trust us, the mayor will forget the favors as soon as the battle is over. Being a leader means doing the right thing and keeping promises. We can no longer abide by city leaders who lie, distort and ignore our deliberate requests for fairness. The L.A. city elected officials don't care

Wood Third District candidate Valley city council Think redevelopment Re ``Ahmanson would help all incomes find homes'' (Opinion, July 17): The Daily News continually prints such glowing puff piece by insiders of Ahmanson Land Co. like Wednesday's article by Guy Gniadek, Ahmanson president. We in the West Valley look at the huge tracts of abandoned buildings and areas in Van Nuys and North Hollywood that should be redeveloped (think Old Town Pasadena Built on the foundation of one of the oldest, most beautiful and most prosperous cities in California, Old Pasadena arose from the ashes of a decaying bowery that had a well deserved patina of homeless and hippie. ) and we see the truth, and the truth is that's it's cheaper to rip up new ground than to go back and fix what's been ripped up. - Chuck Heinold West Hills Pick a new target Re ``Tobacco tax kills 2 birds with 1 stone'' (Opinion, July 12): In response to Diana M.

Sun Valley They're all innocent Re ``Cameraman says he's not guilty'' (July 17): Why is Mitchell Crooks' statement news? I'm sure the vast majority of criminals would feel the same. - Jeff Zimmer Sherman Oaks Harassment I do not understand why Inglewood cops are harassing citizens for vehicle code violations, while at the same time a dismembered female body is found, with no clues, while they continued to harass a volunteer witness, when obviously, no cops were protecting her prior to her demise. What message are we sending out there? Neighborhood watch cops are the only way to give citizens confidence in police protection. The shameful treatment of people who may have problems with the law by cops who seem to think they have nothing better to do than exert force for minor infractions, are in no way deserving of the badge ``To Protect and Serve.''

(Opinion, July 16): After reading Salam Al-Marayati's outrageous column several times, it is rather obvious he is himself exacerbating hatred rather than diminishing it. Indeed, he attempts to score several political points in the article from the Jewish Defense League The Jewish Defense League (JDL) is a militant Jewish organization whose stated goal is to protect Jews from anti-Semitism.[1] Founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane in New York City in 1968, its self-described purpose was to protect Hasidic Jews from harassment in Brooklyn, and to to the Egyptian store owners' death to Israel to American Muslims. All the while, he stealthily stealth·y adj. stealth·i·er, stealth·i·est Marked by or acting with quiet, caution, and secrecy intended to avoid notice. See Synonyms at secret. builds his case that there's a double standard in this nation which discriminates against Muslims while supporting Jews and Israel. Read the article at least three times and you'll get the point. Marayati concludes with a thinly veiled threat warning his adversaries of the consequences for promoting their cause. - Brian Elfand Woodland Hills Try minivans Re ``Kids just won't fit'' (Opinion, July 15): SUVs are not held to the same standards as other vehicles, allowing manufacturers to produce behemoths that pollute at rates three or four times higher than a car or van. Vans, with more passenger and cargo room than SUVs, achieve the same mileage and emissions as a car. Automakers could easily build SUVs that are less polluting for the same money. SUVs are expensive because they are fashionable. If a family purchased a minivan they would have a vehicle better suited to their needs, save on the initial transaction, save on fuel and deliver a better planet to their children. Opposing emission regulations by citing imaginary hardships on families is either staggeringly ignorant or deceitful. - Faron Brindley North Hills Competitive I note with interest President George W. Bush and Alan Greenspan's comments about the economy as I respect both. My feeling is they missed the point. Bush says that consumers are buying, yet fails to realize what we are buying is not produced in this country. Labels indicate the products are made in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, and third world countries. What has happened is that the unions, in their quest to justify dues from their members, have priced American labor out of the competitive arena. Manufacturers are not able to compete in the U.S. market because of high labor costs so they outsource their manufacturing to cheaper labor markets. We cannot survive on our own with this pattern of economic chaos. Control labor costs and bring back production to our country and our economy will flourish. - Michael G. Alex Granada Hills Some hero Re ``Packing a punch'' (July 11): Recently you featured Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali, pasha of Egypt Muhammad Ali, 1769?–1849, pasha of Egypt after 1805. He was a common soldier who rose to leadership by his military skill and political acumen. on the front page of the Daily News. As I recall, Muhammad Ali was a draft dodger who made his living by punching men senseless. This makes him a hero? Did I miss something here? - Melanie Holmes Newbury Park |
