A TRAFFIC stop for expired registration in Carmel June 17 led to the arrest of a Bay Point couple suspected of operating an extensive credit-card-cloning operation out of Sale! their Contra Costa County home. Monterey County Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Hoskins estimated the number of victims exceeds 500, while the amount of money involved is “likely Sale! in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.” EST 1976 Hoskins reported stopping a car driven by 35-year-old Otis Hickman at Highway 1 and Ocean Avenue a few min- utes after midnight on June 17. His wife, 24-year-old Jazzmin Hickman, was the only passenger. The deputy searched their vehicle and reportedly found cloned credit cards, which the Hickmans admitted using at six Monterey Peninsula businesses during a roughly three- hour period to purchase more than $500 worth of merchan- dise. Sheriff’s Cmdr. Lisa Nash would not provide any fur- announces its ther details on which retailers the Hickmans visited or what items they are accused of stealing. Spring-Summer Manufacturing fake cards Later on Sunday, sheriff’s deputies from Monterey County, with the help of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Ladies & Gentlemen’s sale Office and the U.S. Secret Service, served a search warrant at the Bay Point home of Otis Hickman, who works as a forklift operator, and Jazzmin Hickman, a manager for a fast-food restaurant. There they found “numerous items” that We look forward to seeing you there were “consistent with the manufacturing of cloned credit cards.” and our wonderful staff will be here to serve you. “From evidence gathered, these individuals appeared to be conducting fraudulent credit card transactions across Northern and Central California,” Hoskins reported.

The footbridge in Mission Trail park, and new Dam removal at LUAC

THE CARMEL Valley Land Use Advisory Committee will host a hear- ing on the proposed removal of San Clemente Dam Monday, July 2, at St. Philips Lutheran Church in Carmel Valley After listening to a pre- sentation about the project at the LUAC’s last meeting June 18, committee mem- bers asked for more time to review the project to dis- mantle the dam by 2015. Constructed in 1921, the dam hasn’t been used since 2002 because 90 percent of the reservoir is filled with sediment. Environmentalists have lobbied for the removal because they say it will improve steelhead habitat. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. The church is located at 8065 Carmel Valley Road.

Not your average poppy

THE KNOWLEDGE Carmel Police Sgt. Luke Powell gained doing nar- cotics enforcement work before joining Carmel P.D. led him to discover an opium poppy plant growing on public land at the north- west end of town. The flowers on opium poppies are similar to those of the Iceland poppies that ubiquitously grow here, but Powell wasn’t fooled by the plant he spotted on a city easement near the intersec- tion of San Antonio and Second avenues, according to Sgt. Mel Mukai. “He was on patrol at about 8 a.m. June 16 when he noticed what he believed to be an opium poppy,” he said. Powell collected a seed pod to test it at the station, where it tested positive for morphine, according to Powell’s report, so he sent it off to the Department of Justice lab for further analy- sis and confirmation. Mukai said it’s unknown who plant- ed the illegal poppy. 12A The Carmel Pine Cone June 29, 2012

OBAMACARE IS a colossal government giveaway program, and the peo- ple who will be on the receiving end of it have plenty of reason to celebrate the Supreme Court’s decision this week to uphold almost the entire law. On the other hand, if you’re among the 10 or 20 million Americans who pay all the income taxes now, and who are going to be required to pay hundreds of billions more over the next 10 years to underwrite the president’s beneficence (with your money), today is a day to ask: Where will it end? Because after a decade or so, the cost of Obamacare, not only to taxpayers, but to everyone whose private insurance is also going to get a lot more expensive, may well reach into the stratosphere. The entire situation is tragically ironic, since even the president admits that the money to pay for his grandiose “Affordable Care Act” must come from the private economy — including large corporations and small businesses and everyone who works for them. Yet he seems utterly clueless as to how to get that economy to thrive, and seems to take for granted that private businesses will somehow always magically be there to supply the endless amounts of money he desires to spend. The government’s job, he apparently believes, is not to foster economic growth, but simply to hand out money and let the future take care of “We walk the dog and check the mail.
