Making a mountain out of a sand trap

THE COASTAL commission loves words with unspecific definitions, because if you can make a word mean one thing one day and a different thing the next, it’s much easier to justify something that would otherwise be com- pletely illogical or arbitrary. The Coastal Act is shot through and through with such vague words and phrases, giving the commission much of its immense power. The latest illustration is a ruling from a California appeals court that Bob Feduniak, a homeowner on 17 Mile Drive, has to remove every blade of grass from nearly all his property and replace them with native plants. Most Americans would find it shocking that the government has the power, much less the audacity, to tell them what they can plant in their yards. Or that a court of appeals would sanction making a big deal out of what somebody prefers as landscaping at his own home. But for the coastal commission, dictating such minutiae, and invading people’s privacy, is no cause for hesitation. In fact, for the commission, it’s become a no-brainer that coastal property owners need to be told what to do. And they’re willing to fight lengthy court battles to prove it. In the case of Feduniak and his wife, Maureen, the commission’s interference stems from a declaration back in the early 1980s that the land they own was an “environmentally sensitive habitat.” What does this precious phrase mean? The Coastal Act provides a definition: “‘Environmentally sensitive habitat’ means any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their spe- “Is Clint here?” “No, ma’am, it’s his day off.” cial nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments.” hospitals throughout Monterey County.

Carmel Holistic Veterinary Clinic NOW OFFERING BOARDING AND DAYCARE

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus By Oliver Boekbinder

One of our guiding philosophies at the Carmel Holistic Veterinary Clinic is practicing preventive medicine. It is for this reason that we recommend testing every cat for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). Most of these tests, especially for house cats, show the cat to be negative for both viruses. It is not uncommon, however, to find cats that test positive for FIV and/or FeLV. Most of the cats that test positive are feral or outdoor cats that have a tendency to get into fights. FIV in cats is in many ways similar to HIV in humans. The primary symptom is a suppression of the immune sys- tem leaving a cat with FIV much more susceptible to infec- tions and other illness. FIV is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, including saliva. For this reason FIV is especially prevalent in cats that fight with other cats. Another important similarity is that with proper care a cat with FIV, just as a person with HIV, can lead a long and happy life. Unfortunately, most cats that test positive for FIV are never given this chance. In order to help prevent the spread of FIV, it is important to test as many cats as possible, especially new additions to a family. Cats that test positive then need to be kept separate from the general feline population. There are rescue organizations that take in FIV positive cats, but space is limited and it remains difficult to find permanent homes for these unfortunate felines. Many FIV positive cats are not feral at all, and in fact could make great pets, they sim- ply need to be kept indoors for their own safety and the safety of other cats in the area. For more information, or to schedule an FIV/FeLV test for your cat, please give us a call (831) 620-0115
