The Tribune

Wednesday & Saturday cials and media advertisements on behalf of the city.

Which flags can be displayed on city flagpoles has been an issue in other cities. In Huntington Beach the council voted 4-3 to limit the list of flags to the government banners and flags of the federal military forces.

Some felt the policy approved was intended to bar the display of the “gay pride” flag flown in some cities during June.

The policy on advertisements by officials may relate to when an office-holder sends out announcements using the city seal or logo which is not an official communication of the city.

A closed session is set for 4:30 p.m. with the regular session scheduled to commence at 6 p.m. The council meets in its chambers at 8200 Westminster Blvd.

Can’t always warm up to the ‘fire place’

As a kid I was bored by the study of geography. Who cares what was the principal product of Brazil? (Kid answer: Brazilians!).

But as I grew up (somewhat), I became interested in the topic, especially as I learned that one could create their own geographic names and places. It’s like being able to make up your own world.

For example, on the Orange (57) Freeway on my way to visit future wife Marilyn in Chino, there was a small rise in the roadway where someone had placed a sign designating it “Alexa’s Bump.” Now and forever, when I pass that way, it will always have that name, even though, alas, it’s been debumped.
