According to Michael Wilson, director of camp services for the Boy Scouts, repair of the fire damage is under way at the camp. The fire destroyed one restroom building and caused a lot of surface damage, but the heart of the camp was saved, thanks to the hard work of a hot shot crew that protected it during the fire, and five years of scouts working to clear brush and other fuels around the 625-acre camp. “We just appreciate the firefighters for all their help,” he said. “We feel blessed to have come out of it so well. We were surrounded by fire on all sides.” On the fire maps that were 364 RAMONA AVE, MONTEREY 280 GROVE ACRE AVE, PACIFIC GROVE 25140 PINE HILLS DR, CARMEL issued daily during the fire, he noted, the camp was “a dot of 2 Bed | 1 Bath | $549,000 8 Bed | 5 Bath | $1,875,000 3 Bed | 2.5 Bath | $1,895,000 green in a sea of red.” Pico Blanco was evacuated at the time of the fire, and the kids were moved to other camps.

THROUGH A Nationwide insurance company program called Partners in Giving that offers agents in affluent areas opportunities “to make a difference in the lives of others with charitable donations in their local communities,” Carmel Insurance Agency helped obtain a $15,000 donation for Dorothy’s Place in Salinas. The nonprofit group helps take care of the homeless and the needy in Monterey County. Carmel Insurance President Matt Little said the charity’s soup kitchen serves more than $100,000 meals annually, “and we can’t think of a more worthy recipient.” The Private Client section of Nationwide has donated more than a half million dollars to charities in numerous states on behalf of its clients, and has committed to distribut- ing another $506,000 before the end of the year.

PEOPLE COMPLAIN about local water prices almost as much as they complain about the weather. And, just like with the weather, nobody seems to be able to do anything about them. The complaints get especially loud when the community learns, as it did last week, that prices for water are going up again for the counterintuitive reason that everybody’s been using less. You all remember the drought, don’t you? And the statewide “emergency” that had the governor calling for massive statewide reductions in consumption? It turns out we responded so well that now we have to be punished. Or so it seems to most people, who just can’t get their heads around the idea of paying more to use less — ever for an essential commodity like water. The problem is that water is one of those things that costs much more to deliver than they do to produce. Whether it’s from your local water company, or a government agency, or a well in your backyard, the water that flows from the taps in your kitchen starts out as rain that falls from the sky — which means it starts out being free. But once it falls, it has to be collected behind a dam or in an underground aquifer, and then treated and pumped into an extensive network of pipes to reach your house. So while getting water is as simple as waiting for it to rain, storing water and delivering it can be very expensive — and we’re talking about expens- ‘A complete non sequitur’ Dear Editor, es that don’t go down much just because the storage and delivery networks hap- Letters There are many potential villians in the pen to be handling less.

( insert numbers here )

Sure, we could ﬁll this page with a bunch of numbers; number of beds, baths, square footage and lots of pretty pictures . . .

But there are no numbers that tell you how it feels to cook dinner in your perfect kitchen, or what it feels like to look out over the view, or even what the master bedroom feels like when the sun rises.

The point is a house is made up of numbers but those numbers aren’t going to make that house feel like a Home.

CALL OR STOP BY

A Home is made up of much, much more. At Alain Pinel, all of our Real Estate Agents are ﬁeld experts and have an actual process to help you identify what truly will make your next Home purchase, your best. 831.622.1040
