Dear Readers,
A previously untouchable piece of the Lighthouse
Reservation in Pacific Grove may be designated as a site
for 84 “housing units.” Chris Counts reports.
A Big Sur citizens group is opposing plans from the
county that could see the scenic area get 235 more hotel
rooms and cabins. Chris Counts has that one, too.
A home on Scenic Road can get a stylish, modern
renovation, despite the opposition from some advocates
of traditional Carmel architecture, the planning
commission decided. Mary Schley has the details.
The CHP had to use a helicopter to rescue an injured
hiker from a very remote part of Big Sur. A 62-year-old
Carmel Valley man was killed Thursday, apparently after
his SUV collided with a deer. A former judge’s dream for
helping trouble young people has come true in a way even
he wouldn’t have believed. The buyers of a charming
Comstock cottage got a chilly reception when they told
the historic resources board about the changes they want
to make. The SPCA is getting $13 million worth of
improvements. The reward is up to $10,000 for info about
whoever shot and killed a condor last year. A former
Pacific Grove mother says her kids were targeted with
racist comments at their elementary school. A Central
Valley businessman is under arrest for a series of
bizarre crimes, including blocking Highway 1 with debris
and throwing rocks at cars. A man who accidentally
texted a cop about an illegal gun he had is still in
jail. Local fast-food workers, along with others around
the state, are getting a big raise. Dennis Taylor says
competition is fierce among local high schools’ girls
volleyball teams. Neal Hotelling profiles the first man
to make the Monterey Peninsula a hotbed of Hollywood
filmmaking. Our Healthy Lifestyles special section has
news about a major improvement in treatment for
cataracts, tours CHOMP’s high tech new surgery center,
and shows how high school students are getting
introduced to careers in health care. And my editorial
says examples of the “tragedy of the commons” are all
around us.
