Readers, let's end September with a bang:
Los Angeles County prepared Tuesday in wake of a tsunami warning resulting from a tidal wave that swept Samoa, while the Samoan community in Carson gathered to share information and organize a vigil for relatives affected back home.
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners approved a $1.2 billion waterfront redevelopment plan early Wednesday, after about 500 people crowded the meeting room to sound off on the plan.
The unique Beach Cities Health District is apparently a model of the preventive health care envisioned in national health care reform plans.
Toyota Motor Corp., whose sales and marketing arm is based in Torrance, has announced plans to recall about 3.8 million late-model vehicles in the United States in fear that their floor mats could cause accelerator pedals to jam.
Manhattan Beach's famed dune will remain closed through the end of the year.
Stakeholders at a Wilmington elementary school have voted to change the institution's name to honor George De La Torre, a local businessman and philanthropist who died last year.
Talks continue in Carson over the fate of two mobile homes parks.

This is preposterous on so many levels. I live in the neighborhood, and while usage increased this summer, the complaints have grown far beyond what is justified. I have used the park for 7 years, and closing it now for the 4 months is a counterproductive and a ridiculous overreaction. First of all, usage falls in the autumn every year, so keeping it closed in these months will do nothing to address the summer issues. Instead of keeping the park open, which is what the vast majority of Manhattan Beach residents would prefer, the city council has been bullied by a vocal minority that think they are a special breed of people, unwilling to share their public parks with their neighbors.
This is beyond the pale.
