Customizing firearms is among his favorite tasks, and a project he took on for Del Rey Oaks Police Chief Ron Langford made him so proud the gun he made — a Colt Custom Government 45 — adorns his business card. “It was funny, I went into the station one morning, and Chief handed me the Colt and said, ‘Make it cool,’ to which I said, ‘OK,’” he recalled. The work included adding new sights, installing an Army-style grip safety, making alterations to distrib- ute recoil over a broader area, and stippling the front of the grip to create texture. “Stippling is a process where are series of punches of different sizes and shaped are struck against the grip in order to raise burrs and roughen the gripping sur- face,” he explained. “It can be laid out as a particular pattern or it can be a totally random pattern. On Langford’s Colt, I think I used a total of nine punch- es.” He also made the gun more accurate and easier to load, and applied a Teflon- based finish that holds up well in humid weather. Langford asked Parga to etch his shop’s initials and the chief’s name on it. But the grip is perhaps the most eye-catching aspect of the weapon, showing an axe-wielding Grim Reaper and the words, “The Site.”

Learning to shoot Parga, of course, also enjoys shooting competitive- ly (awards compete for wall space alongside work orders in his shop), and he has con- sidered offering one-on-one teaching, though his work- load tends to interfere. An FBI-certified instructor, he’s a big proponent of Gunsite, the school in Arizona launched by the late Jeff Cooper, who is recognized internationally as one of the foremost experts on handgun shooting.

The anchor of the reuse is California State University Monterey Bay, and other educational organizations, such as the Monterey College of Law, have built there, too. Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula opened its Join Us for a special expansive health and wellness center near the shopping cen- ter, and other plans are in the works. Exhibition of New Work by Potter provided a little historical perspective. When FORA was first formed in 1994, proposed uses for “JEWELRY DESIGNER, the base included a federal prison and a Disneyland North amusement park. “We decided those weren’t a real good idea, SCULPTOR, ARTIST” but perhaps an academic institution base as the core,” he said.

Construction SEPTEMBER 14TH & 15TH should begin in February 2013, with homes on the market 11 AM to 6 PM four months later. Houlemard said $30 million has been spent on cleanup efforts at the base, which had been used by the military since 10% of all sales during this event donated to it was a site for calvary exercises in the 19th century. Animal Friends Rescue of “Reclaiming military bases is the most difficult thing this Dolores near Ocean, Carmel, CA 93921 Pacific Grove CA government is trying to do,” he said, because “almost none 831-624-2327 www.ladyfingersjewelry.com were built to code,” and many of the buildings contain lead- based paint inside and out, asbestos, leaking solvents, ter- mites and other hazards. Overall, people acknowledged the base reuse plan will have to be updated to reflect the current economic conditions and demands for housing on the Monterey Peninsula, among other factors. The process, which requires environmental review, will take at least two years, according to Houlemard.

Ft. Ord National Monument After the meeting, Burnett told The Pine Cone the revised plan will also have to capitalize upon Fort Ord’s status as a National Monument. “Back when the base reuse plan was put in place, the con- cept of a National Monument was not part of it, and now that it’s a reality, the plan needs to be adjusted,” he said. The document should include provisions for making the entry corridors to the monument attractive to tourists — especially the entrance on Highway 1. “The designation is a game changer,” he said, because people travel from all over the world to visit such sites. “We have a real opportunity to boost Peninsula hospitali- ty,” he said. “It’s an issue that matters to Carmel but also to all the cities on the Peninsula. It benefits all of us.” Burnett said several people at the meeting mentioned the need to “do the planning ourself ” to take advantage of the federal government’s “gift.” NEED FIX-IT TIPS? Ask us.

THE REACTION of supposedly disinterested television reporters and com- mentators to Clint Eastwood’s remarks to the Republican National Convention last Thursday night told a story all by itself. Nevermind characters such as Rachel Maddow. She’s a left-wing shill and admits it — it’s her profit-oriented business model. But NBC News, CBS News and CNN purport to be objective, and the disdain, if not contempt, their broadcasters showed for Eastwood was unmistakable. First of all, let’s put aside the idea that Eastwood is senile. The man is 82 years old but still produces work than runs rings around anything that Bob Schieffer or Piers Morgan has ever done, or will ever do. He is a cinematic genius, and while his memory may have dimmed a bit and his hair thinned (whose hasn’t?), the qualities that turned him into one of the most celebrated people in the world are still there. Making Hollywood movies is a torturously complicated and risky business, folks, and Eastwood does it (present tense) as well as anybody. For people to mock him for his age is just pure prejudice. Secondly, it’s important to remember what “objectivity” means in the jour- nalistic sense. The concept does not require that equal weight be given to both sides on every issue; some issues only have one side with any credibility. For example, nobody has to report the story told by a career criminal about his most recent crime with equal weight to the version told by police. Criminals lie even more often than they steal or kill, and a professional reporter will not give a known criminal the benefit of the doubt. Likewise, nobody has to credibly report the claims of the Holocaust deniers, the people who think the moon landing never happened, or the people who believe aliens are held captive some place in Nevada. All these people are nuts and do not belong on the network news. However, there are many issues over which millions of well intentioned, edu- cated and ethical Americans vehemently disagree. A few current examples are “They say he’s the city attorney.” gay marriage, abortion, affirmative action and whether tax cuts or government spending do a better job stimulating the economy. On all these issues, an objec- tive reporter will strive to give both sides equal weight and respect. In fact, on more than one occasion, I have told certain voters in Monterey County of Do the major news outlets in the country do that? Of course they don’t.
