By CHRIS COUNTS

AFTER STRONG winds carried the Dolan Fire across Nacimiento-Fergusson Road in Big Sur late Monday, the blaze destroyed a United States Forest Service fire station and injured three firefighters. The winds, along with high temperatures, caused explosive growth in the fire, which reached more than 111,000 acres by Thursday, triggering evacuations as far south as the Monterey-San Luis Obispo county line and evacuation warnings as far east as the out- skirts of King City. Fifteen firefighters were on scene at the time at Na- cimiento fire station when the wildfire overwhelmed the area and forced them to take refuge in their emergency shelters because conditions were so dire. Fire official Rob Allen described the scene Tuesday at Nacimiento fire station, which the firefighters tried to save. It was located about 7 miles east of Highway 1 near the highest point along Nacimiento-Fergusson Road. “These dedicated firefighters received injuries including burns and smoke inhalation while defending the Na- cimiento Station,” Allen reported. “Nacimiento Station was destroyed. I can confirm that one injury is critical and one serious. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured firefighters, their family, friends and co-workers.”

Open letter to my friends and clients

This is truly the end of an era. I have decided to close my store after 57 years. I want to sincerely thank from the bottom of my heart all of those who have supported me. It is a sad time, but also one filled with great joy. For over a half century, I have travelled the most remote reaches of the world in search of great treasures and the vestiges of ancient but vanishing civilizations. The world has changed so drastically. Today I hardly recognize the places I discovered in my youth. Those bygone days where I could board an around the world Pan Am #1 flight on standby, with no security checks and just a hand written ticket. I could wake up in Paris and tomorrow lose myself somewhere in the third world, surrounded by villagers that had never seen a westerner. Places of great joy such as Lhasa, Damascus, Aleppo, Bagdad, Bamiyan, Peshawar, Dharamshala, Isfahan, Alexandria, Constantinople, Masai-Mara… the list is endless. I will never allow these memories to fade.

Enshallah. God willing, I will revisit them all with all my grandchildren as I once did with their parents. The world will never be the same again. I am no longer the 17-year-old adventurer, thirsty for knowledge, but I will remain as an adventurer to my very last day.

Now, it is time to let go, truly let go.

I have given myself 60 days to liquidate containers and warehouses of treasures that I have collected in this lifetime. From today forward, everything will be discounted at least 50% storewide, and in some cases up to 80%. Whatever remains at the end of our time, we will donate to local charities.

10:00 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M. With open arms I look forward to this new phase of my life, where I can finally write my book, hopefully accompanied by the sweet chatter of my grandchildren in the background. Come meet designer Gabriel Barba. Dumalva is a meticulously crafted line of handbags. I look forward to seeing many old friends and new faces.

‘Enjoyed by future generations’ This time, he said, it would make more sense to approve the removal with a plan the commission can control. “If we simply deny the application, I have no doubt the city council will grant it, and it will grant it with very few conditions, and we will have lost the opportunity to do our jobs,” he said.

Became close friends Yoga has been offered at Sunset Center since at least 1989, when Phyllis Haffner opened the Carmel Tri-Yoga Academy. Kathleen Karachale later took over the business and renamed it Carmel Yoga Center. It’s somehow appropriate that Konikowski and Schul- theis are launching their yoga venture at a time when wild- ﬁres are raging nearby — the two met when Konikowski’s home in Palo Colorado was destroyed by the Soberanes Fire in 2016. Schultheis let Konikowski and her husband stay in her guest house for nine months, and the two teachers became close friends. “We’re like family now,” Schul- theis said. 7KH%LJ Karachale, meanwhile, is thrilled to see the two women bring the studio back to Sunset Center. “I feel so blessed,” $QQXDO she added. “The legacy continues.” 6DOH 1RZWKURXJK6HSWHPEHUQG Á ! zÁXzÈ0³R áXzJ È«J«ÁXÁÈ(0Á ! z Á » È « x0«³ًá0«0 çn!È³Á È«n « II II0«XzJzÈ«³0«çáX(0(X³!

WHAT USUALLY passes as the spookiest day of the year is going to look at lot different this year — and for many, much of the fright will be gone. If you usually spend Halloween evening at one of the big theme parks in California, for instance, this year you won’t be able to. From Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios and the Queen Mary in Southern California, to Great America in Santa Clara and Six Flags in Valencia, the usually lavish Halloween parties have been canceled, and not just because many of the parks haven’t been allowed to reopen after the virus. Who wants to have a scary monster breathing down their neck? There may be nothing wrong with it when the danger is all make-believe, but these days … no thanks. Likewise with the private parties that have become increasingly popular on Halloween. Doing the Monster Mash with 300 of your best friends might have been fun back in the days when the worst thing that could happen was somebody secretly livestreaming you on Facebook, but nowadays, going viral isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a virus. Trick-or-treating may not have been officially banned, but you’re bound to see a lot fewer people doing it this year. For one thing, letting all those “The economy’s definitely picked up. little monsters jab their sticky fingers into a communal candy jar no longer I’ve got two jobs.” sounds cute. It’s gross. The novelty of wearing a mask is gone, too. And most of us don’t want to open our front doors to our own mothers any more, federal government suggested must be much less the juvenile delinquents from down the street. followed.

Starting in sixth grade, he took guitar lessons and played the sousaphone and double bass in his high school band. He sang in various choirs, but not the one at his church — the director there would only accept high school graduates. “The very Sunday after graduation, I sang with my mother in the choir.

Mutual support? He was accepted into San Jose State University’s music program. There was no bachelor’s degree in conducting, so he completed his undergraduate work in vocal perfor- mance and enrolled in the master’s program for conducting. Meanwhile, back at work, he said he had a manager who urged people to continue their educations because he “liked his employees to have as many initials after their names as possible.” The two were on a break together one day, and the boss — who had preached openness so that they could “all support each other” — asked Koza, “So, is Pegasus House Sitting
