arrowEPA toughens ozone standard

The Environmental Protection Agency announced a tougher national ozone standard Wednesday.

The agency lowered the health threshold for the corrosive summertime gas by 6%, which is only half the reduction recommended by the government’s own independent researchers.

Kathy Mahan is the Features Editor, which means she’s the boss behind the writers on The Beehive and in The Bee’s 7, Life and Spotlight sections. She’s lived in Fresno Clovis for 8-or-so years and doesn’t think it sucks. When she was 16, she dreamed of writing stories for Rolling Stone magazine about guys in hair bands – that was before she realized there’s more to music than flying-v guitars and spandex. Luckily, she had enough fashion sense to skip the spandex herself. Today, she loves pretty dresses, stilettos and shopping, but she still can’t convince herself it’s worth paying $500 for a handbag. When she’s not working, she’s reading, watching movies or TV, exercising, cooking, checking out geeky fan sites on the Internets or finding some other way to amuse herself. She’s married and has a cat named Sir Lancelot.
