She and her husband pretty much thought they were done with dogs. But then a person whose golden retriever had sired a litter of golden doodles happened to tell them he was entitled to a puppy but wasn’t going to take it, so they decided to contact the puppies’ owner to “have a look.” When they did, they were very attracted to a little female, but thought it might be too taxing to raise a puppy, and so they left empty-handed. “But when my husband went skiing with our daugh- JAMES E.

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, and the winners will be notified by phone. “You put a ticket in the box below a piece of art you would like to win and cross your fingers,” Aberg explained. The CAA will also unveil a retro- spective show by Auvil, “A Life in Art,” and new displays by oil painters Peggy Jelmini and Daria Shachmut. Jelmini presents a collection of large format abstracted landscapes, while Shachmut’s work captures children playing on the beach. The birthday party starts at 5 p.m. on August 5. The gallery is located on Dolores between Fifth and Sixth.

MAKING THINGS better used to be considered a good thing. Now, in California, a misguided and often self-serving insistence on making things perfect (or pretending to) is standing in the way of even minuscule progress on a whole host of important issues — including not only significant projects of major community benefit, but tiny things no sensible person could find the slightest reason to notice, much less complain about. At the infinitesimal end of the spectrum is the proposal for a Baptist church in Cachagua, which promises to enhance that isolated community, but which is being attacked by a handful of neighbors as “inappropriate” because it will sup- posedly generate excessive traffic and noise. The fact that the church only has 20 members should be enough to laugh those complaints right out of the first hearing where its permit is considered — and the neighbors know it. Which explains why they also started questioning the proposed church’s water supply. It seems strange to have to point out, as we have done before, that churches are very important and beneficial institutions in any community. It is no exag- geration to say that this entire nation could not have evolved into the safe, pros- perous and generally morally upright place it is without the religious underpin- nings of our culture. Baptists — like adherents of other religions — may not have been 100 percent virtuous throughout history. But there are still children to raise, morals to teach, weddings to celebrate, and the dearly departed to bid farewell. Critics of the Cachagua church’s possible move make its proponents out to be just a bit better than strip mall developers. They should be ignored and the permit issued forthwith. At the other end of the “what on earth are you complaining about?” spectrum is affordable housing, which is direly needed all over the Monterey Peninsula — “On second thought, Carmel doesn’t need a zoo.” even for people engaged in solidly middle-class professions such as firefighting and teaching. Ban fires This week, the Pacific Grove City Council discussed a plan to add some Dear Editor, Letters As a Carmel homeowner for 25 years affordable housing to that town — which is a perfect place for it, of course.
