Couple violates law by removing lawn
ORANGE, Calif. — A couple who tried to save water and money by removing their lawn is being taken to court by the city of Orange. Quan and Angelina Ha have a scheduled court date Tuesday. The couple replaced their grass with wood chips in 2008.
At a time when Southern California cities fine people for overwatering their thirsty lawns, the Has said they've saved hundreds of thousands of gallons of water and drastically lowered their water bill.
But the city cited them for violating a law that requires live landscaping to cover 40 percent of the yard. The couple planted drought-tolerant plants last year but the city said it wasn't enough.
Owner walks dog drives alongside
LONDON — An English dog-owner has been fined after taking his pet for a stroll while driving next to him in his car.
Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted driving at low speed along a country lane in December, holding his dog's
leash through the car window as the animal trotted alongside
Railton pleaded guilty Monday to not being in proper control of a vehicle. His lawyer, Paul Donoghue, said 23-year-old Railton acknowledged "it was a silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness" while exercising his lurcher, a type of crossbred sighthound.
Railton was ordered by magistrates in Consett, northeast England, to pay a 66 pound ($100) fine, plus costs.
He is also barred from driving for six months.
