Sandy Claws By Lisa Crawford Watson Settling for one setter

HE HAD cherished memories of his years growing up in Michigan and the Irish setters in the family. His father always had a pair of the loyal companions, and he remembers their silky coats and gentle eyes. Once he and his wife had their own family — three boys tucked into a tiny Carmel cottage — he felt their house- hold was complete, except for an Irish setter. Their neighbor had a pair of setters who had two puppies, but they were willing to part with them only if they went together. He understood the concept but barely had room for one. So he contacted a breeder to bring home a different puppy. They considered giving their setter a nice Irish name like Kelly, which reminded her person of the name he had picked out many years before. After college, he had moved from Michigan to Colorado to ski. His plan was to live in Telluride and get an Irish setter he would name Telly. Instead, he found lodging in Breckenridge HIRLEY IATTA RN CMC and bought a beagle.

Saying the statement was misleading because Cal Am did not tell ratepayers there would be “no accountability,” Wills changed the statement to read “Cal Am states is rates should increase by 41 percent at the end of 2018.” Wills made changes to other claims in Public Water Now’s ballot arguments, its ballot label and the measure’s rebuttal arguments, while also leaving some language as is. But the judge noted several times that voters need to decide for themselves on the merits of Measure O. “The electorate has to be given the opportunity to sort these questions out itself,” he said. Kay Reimann, an attorney with Monterey County Counsel representing county registrar Claudio Valenzuela, who is also named in Heuer’s petition, told Wills via telephone that the county had a deadline of noon on Friday, April 4, in order to make the changes and send the ballots to the printer. Wills was expected to sign the modifications Thursday afternoon so they could be forwarded to the elections office. PG&E From page 1A

Mayor Jason Burnett thanked the company for being “attentive and responsive” to residents’ concerns in the after- math of the exploding house. “It’s clear to all of us that you’re taking the situation very seriously,” he said, addressing the PG&E representatives at the meeting. The company has been in the headlines a lot recently. Last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco filed charges against PG&E in connection with the September 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion that killed eight people. The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges that PG&E’s operating practices at the time violated the federal Pipeline Safety Act in record keeping, pipeline integrity management and identification of pipeline threats. Safety is at the heart of everything In their efforts to explain to Carmel residents how the explosion happened, and what’s being done to make sure no more houses are destroyed, company officials last week set PG&E does. up models of their pipelines and information boards at city hall.

A FEW months ago, a news anchor and a reporter on a San Francisco radio station were discussing a proposal to equip that city’s police officers with tasers and the vehement opposition the idea had drawn from activists, “social justice” advocates and the like. “Let me throw something out there,” the anchor said. “If the activists don’t want the officers to have tasers, why is it OK for them to have guns?” The reporter responded with a comment that reflected one of the truisms of modern life: “If they hadn’t already had them for a long time, of course the activists wouldn’t want the cops to have guns, either.” You see, in the era of CEQA, public comment periods and community activism, while any new idea of modern life is subject to extraordinary scrutiny and nothing is allowed to happen unless pretty much everybody agrees with it, even the most conscientious activist still uses everyday things he would bitterly oppose if they weren’t already there. A good example of that is natural gas, which is piped into everyone’s home and routinely used for cooking, heating water and keeping the house itself com- fortably warm for its occupants. But natural gas is also an extremely hazardous substance which is obtained at great cost to the environment and which, if it leaks, can asphyxiate you or, when there’s a source of ignition around, blow you to smithereens. Our local activists didn’t want us to have smart meters because of the supposed danger from ambient electromagnetic radiation. Imagine the hue and cry if some big utility company came along and said, “We’d like to set up a bunch of wells and refineries around the world, send ships across the seven seas, build thousands of miles of pipelines, and dig up everybody’s street and yard so we can bring the benefits of natural gas to daily life.” In the days when that’s what they proposed and carried out, everybody’s life included going to great difficulty to heat homes and have hot water, so the ben- challenges that face Carmel as a 21st century community.
