2. Readers squawk about Big Bear bald eagles, Hollywood haunts, A Line train (whittierdailynews.com) — A Diamond Bar resident gets a shout-out in a lighthearted reader-mail column that roams from Big Bear's famous bald eagles to classic Hollywood hangouts and L.A. transit adventures.

3. Glendora football's big plays overwhelm Walnut, leading to easy victory (whittierdailynews.com) — Diamond Bar football fans are on the radar as Walnut High, coming off a lopsided loss to Glendora, prepares for three challenging non-league games against Sonora, Diamond Bar and Valencia.

Coaches say the tough stretch is meant to fuel long-term growth.
   

4. AQMD says Lineage had more rotten food than originally estimated (thelalocal.org) — Diamond Bar figures into the Lineage fire fallout as Boyle Heights residents traveled to AQMD's headquarters here to demand tougher oversight of the company's slow, confusing cleanup of millions of pounds of rotting food.

Local readers may watch for any future AQMD meetings or enforcement decisions held in town.
