Neighborhoods 3

A city, a town, a county is really a collection of neigh-borhoods. Sometimes they meld into one another so seamlessly that a passerby

can’t really recognize one from anoth-er. Other times, each neighborhood is a distinct entity, separated from oth-ers by the ethnicity of its people, the geography of its boundaries or some quirk of development.

Half Moon Bay, Pacifica and the unincorporated Coastside is one such collection of neighborhoods.

Its residents are connected by a love of the land and the ocean, surely. People don’t move to oceans-ide neighborhoods for convenience. They don’t nestle themselves into the sides of mountains because it will make for an easy commute. They do so because the payoff — sweeping vistas, contemplative ocean scenes, dramatic weather patterns, beautiful scenery — overwhelms the downside. Although our neighborhoods are just “over the hill” from Silicon Valley, they are worlds apart geographically, and, some would say, spiritually. And that is just how its residents like it.

The list of neighborhoods is by no means definitive, but we hope the pages that follow will look familiar to many Coastside residents and will give new-comers and those that are considering a coastal move a bit more information about our cherished community. We want to lift the “hood” on many neighborhoods to reveal a few more details. We hope to re-flect the things that make each neighbor-hood unique and, in so doing, explain why people call each place home.

Where: Montara is the Coastside’s most northern community before the tunnels. Most homes are located just east of Highway 1, but a few cling to the cliffs above the Pacific or up on the foothills of Montara Mountain.

What’s special: Montara has a long tradition as one of the Coastside’s most closely knit communities. It is well-known for neighborhood revelry on Hal-loween, when some streets are shut to traffic so kids and adults alike can get into the spirit. It is neighbors with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the beautiful McNee Ranch State Park.

Light me up: The Point Montara Lighthouse originally established in 1875 is still guiding sailors to this day. In 1980, part of the property was turned into a hostel and now hosts visitors from around the world.

Odds and ends: Montarans are particularly proud of Farallone View Elemen-tary School. The neighborhood public school makes a big deal of Oceans Week every year, taking advantage of its surroundings and the many profes-sionals with ties to marine life.

A mile long beach, historic lighthouse, open space area and majestic Montara Mountain distinguish this neighborhood

Where: One of the Coastside’s most desirable addresses, Moss Beach is on both sides of Highway 1, between the Half Moon Bay Airport to the south and Montara to the north.

What’s special: The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is the area’s premier attraction. At low tide, a hidden marine world is available for all to see, and the tidepools draw school children from across the Bay Area.

Park it: Locals are extremely proud of their neighborhood park. It has been transformed over the years, due largely to community efforts. It is now owned by the county and is in the process of renovation.

Odds and ends: Moss Beach is home to the area’s most well-equipped medical facility, Seton Medical Center Coastside. It also boasts some of the coast’s most breathtaking views. Sunshine Valley Road is a beautiful country road that con-nects the town to Montara.

Gorgeous sunsets and plenty of homes with sweeping ocean views.The beloved Fitzgerald Marine Reserve sets community apart.

193 Reef Point Road, Moss Beach $3,675,000One of the few on the sand ocean front homes in San Mateo County, this spectacular home enjoys the privacy of a secluded cove. The home garnishes the feeling of being on the water, with decks, views and gardens providing numerous areas for relaxation and enjoyment. This spacious and light home has been well maintained and enjoys the master bedroom and the main living areas on the same floor. The guest rooms, family room and solarium art studio are on the first level and provide access directly to the sand.

1400 teMPle, MontaRa $2,700,000Custom 4bd/5.5ba home on approx. 3.4 spectacular usable acres with wide protected ocean views adjacent to Open Space land. Great room concept with lots of natural light, passive and active solar, decks surrounding the home and spacious granite gourmet kitchen. Separate guest suite on lower level with its own garage. Large master suite with great privacy. Separate artist studio also has its own garage. Suitable for horses.

815 alta Vista, MontaRa $1,395,000A pure country setting awaits within 30 minutes of downtown San Francisco and SFO International Airport. This custom built 3bd/3.5ba home is located on approximately 1.5 acres and hosts spacious rooms, formal entry, covered porches and views of the forest and fields. The country kitchen, family room and deck feature remarkable views.

530 stetson, Moss Beach $1,250,000Truly sensational white water panoramic ocean views from this 3bd/2.5ba contemporary home are the main feature, but the spacious rooms and thoughtful floor plan make this a very versatile home. Decks off the family room kitchen and a bedroom provide for outside enjoyment, and the lower interior deck gives quite access to the cedar sauna and the hot tub.

Where: It’s actually part of Moss Beach and just south of the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

What’s special: Seal Cove is a tight-knit and largely hidden community. Residents like to meet neighbors as they walk along Ocean Boulevard or the blufftops overlooking Ross’s Cove and Pillar Point. The neighboring open space is a runner's paradise and a great spot for whale watching.

Dining: The Moss Beach Distillery is the only place to eat in Seal Cove, and it comes with a ghost story. Keep your eyes peeled for the famed “Blue Lady” while you dine. The ocean facing deck is a magical place to take in the sunset.

Odds and ends: Erosion is always at work in Seal Cove. It causes near continual work on Ocean Boulevard. Seal Cove is right next to Half Moon Bay Airport. That means visitors are likely to see stunt pilots doing their thing overhead. Walkers can also see the foundations of long-gone homes that were built on the west side of Ocean Boulevard and have since given way to the forces of nature.

When the fog clears, there are few more beautiful beaches than the secluded Seal Cove

Where: On the west side of Half Moon Bay Airport, be-tween Moss Beach and Princeton.

What’s special: Residents claim the Pillar Point bluffs as their backyard. One of two manufactured home communities on the coast, Pillar Ridge provides a rare bit of truly afford-able housing on the Coastside. The community clubhouse offers a variety of programs all year long.

Child’s play: Pillar Ridge reverberates with the sound of children. There are homework programs in the clubhouse and there is a nice playground for the park’s kids.

Odds and ends: Pillar Ridge residents fought for a county rent control ordinance several years ago and their work was rewarded in 2004. If the kids like to tumble, Gymtowne is right down the street.

Where: Situated between Pillar Point Harbor, Harbor Vil-lage and Pillar Point.

What’s special: The area is an eclectic mix of industrial, commercial and residential uses. It is inextricably tied to the adjacent harbor and has a nautical feel. Many feel this is an up-and-coming area.

Odds and ends: For reasons that are lost to time, the streets are named for prestigious colleges, including Harvard and Princeton avenues. And all roads lead to Pillar Point and the renowned surf break known as Mavericks, which lurks just off shore.

Surf's Up. Way, way up: It's from Princeton where the boldest surfers launch from to test their skills at the legendary Maver-ick's surf break. During the winter months, waves can reach upwards of 50 feet or more, providing an exciting backdrop for planned yearly contests.

Where: East of Highway 1, between Capistrano and Coronado roads.

What’s special: El Granda has its own town center, and its unusual street design fans out from there. Locals often meet at the post office. The neighborhood is the Coastside’s most densely populated area. There are two schools – El Granada Elementary School and the private Wilkin-son School. Quarry Park is a hikers paradise.

Odds and ends: The unusual concentric circle arrangement of El Granada streets was conceived by architect Daniel Burnham at the behest of the long-gone Ocean Shore Railroad. The railroad thought the seaside town would be a perfect destination for tourists from San Francisco. Many of the homes are perched high in the hills affording ocean views for many homeowners.

Hit the beach: When the tide is low, Surfer's Beach can be one of the most popular strips of sand on the Coastside and energetic hikers can head south on the sand for several miles — all the way down to the Ritz-Carlton on the right day. The surf break, locally known as the Jetty, offers easily accessible waves for both beginners and experts — depending on conditions. Kayakers can easily launch from the harbor and enjoy tours of calm waters or head out to the open ocean.

Large, creative homes sit at the edge of the Coastside’s longest beach and the start of the Coastal Trail

Where: Miramar is south of Pillar Point Harbor and just north of Half Moon Bay. Spacious homes dot the landscape on either side of Highway 1.

What’s special: Mirada Road. It is unique on the coast, offering visitors and residents a leisurely stroll on a paved path, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and some of the coast’s most iconic businesses on the other. The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society is one of the Bay Area’s most famous music venues and it benefits from an unforgettable location.

Dining: The Miramar Beach Restaurant offers one of the area’s best views of the water. Via Uno, situated on Highway 1, is the local hangout for piz-zas, pastas, and everything Italian.

Odds and ends: Things used to be different in Miramar. In the 1950s, Highway 1 hugged the waterline before wending back inland. The tourist traffic used to pass right by local businesses. Eventually, erosion caused highway planners to move the busy road inland and the character of Mira-mar changed forever. The eastern edge blends gracefully into the foothills.

Where: On the east side of Highway 1, north of El Granada.

What’s special: Clipper Ridge has many of the benefits of in-town living while still being part of the wilder natural back-drop of the Midcoast. There are sidewalks and manicured lawns while still being proximate to the undeveloped trails in Rancho Corral de Tierra which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

For the kids: As if there isn’t enough to do with a national park as a backdrop, local kids have a well-maintained Clipper Ridge Park and playground.

Odds and ends: Clipper Ridge residents benefit from their central location. They are near Pillar Point Harbor, Maver-icks and Princeton. The community is protected, in a way, by towering eucalyptus trees that separate Clipper Ridge from El Granada and by an expansive Brussels Sprouts fields to the north.

Where: The neighborhood is east of the highway, across from Dunes Beach.

What’s special: It is a particularly tight-knit community, where neighbors all know one another. There is a commu-nity park, walking path and playground.

The creek: Frenchmans Creek forms a sort of southern boundary and its clean, clear water is a point of community pride. Flower farms to the south add a riot of color to the area in the spring.

Odds and ends: The noted artist Galen Wolf lived along Frenchmans Creek for four decades until his death in 1976. From there he worked on many paintings, including a federal commission that documented the landscapes of the coast. Old-timers also remember his brother, Fred, who lived in the area as well. Fred was a notable musician.

Where: Look on the east side of Highway 1, between Sea Haven and Highland Park at Grand-view Boulevard.

What’s special: Its proximity to Cabrillo Unified schools makes this neighborhood perfect for parents.

It is just across a verdant field from Half Moon Bay High School.

Coming developments: Plans have long been in the pipeline for a development called Pacific Ridge, which would be just north of Terrace Avenue. Residents there fought hard a decade ago to stop a traffic signal from gumming up Highway 1 traffic at Terrace. Since then, the city has purchased a tract to the north known as Beachwood. The city has designs to some day sell that to a residen-tial developer.

Odds and ends: The neighborhood is conveniently located and sits amid all of the beauty of the coast. In the fall, across Highway 1, residents can see a popular pumpkin field sprout. Beyond that is the blue Pacific Ocean. In the spring, the surrounding fields come alive with yellow mustard.

Where: North of Half Moon Bay High School and east of Highway 1.

What’s special: This is a family-friendly neighborhood, not far from Cabrillo Unified Schools. In fact, the district’s only high school is right next door. It is also a short jaunt to area beaches to the west and the downtown shopping area just to the south.

High school: Like several of the nearby developements, Highland Park enjoys buffers of open fields on three sides and sits under the bucolic foothills to the east. Tourists often flock to the area to take pictures of the flower fields in spring.

Odds and ends: Highland Park has a rich history in its relatively short development. It took a bond measure in the 1980s to get the city to pave roads that were often terribly muddy. Years later, some Terrace Avenue neighbors banded together to fight a traffic signal that would have primarily served a new planned development.

Where: This is an enclave west of Highway 1, between Kehoe and Wave avenues.

What’s special: As its Spanish moniker suggests, this is a neighborhood of houses by the sea. There is access to one of the best walking trails anywhere — the California Coastal Trail. These are some of the most beach-accessible homes on the coast and informal trails lead to very uncrowded sec-tions of Half Moon Bay Beach.

The frontage: One unique aspect of the neighborhood is the frontage road that runs to a half-mile and serves as a buffer of sorts from the traffic on Highway 1. Now the frontage is aug-mented by a walking trail into the heart of Half Moon Bay.

Odds and ends: Residents have easy access to the Coastal Trail and uncrowded sections of Half Moon Bay Beach. Watch equestrians, cyclists, and on occassion, whales, go by. With the right conditions, surfers will find empty breaks right at their doorstep.

Paved paths border both sides of homes with easy beach access

Where: From Highway 1, turn east on Spindrift Way, just south of Frenchmans Creek.

What’s special: Sea Haven is a small community defined by well-kept homes on roads with nautical themes. Spindrift Way curls into Spinnaker Lane and Keel and Brig courts are in the mix as well. The neighborhood is tucked between open fields to the north and south and sits gracefully under the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Neighborhood feel: Sea Haven has remained much the same even as the Coastside has grown around it. Some residents have lived in the community for many years.

Odds and ends: Sea Haven residents are among those who benefit from the extension of the Naomi Patridge Trail, a pe-destrian walkway constructed on the west side of Highway 1.

Nautical themed roads provide great place for families

Where: West of Highway 1, between Kelly Avenue on the north and Granelli Street on the south.

What’s special: This is often the neighborhood that beach visitors associate with Half Moon Bay. It’s an easy walk to Francis State Beach. California State Parks maintains parking, walkways and even a place for recreational vehicles. It is one of a chain of publicly maintained beaches up and down the Coastside.

Dining: There is no dining in the neighborhood, per se, but residents are very near one of the coast’s most beloved eateries: Tres Amigos. The bustling taqueria is the perfect place to grab a meal prior to a day at the beach.

Odds and ends: The proximity to both the beach and city amenities makes Alsace Lorraine one of the area’s most sought-after locales. Large, manicured yards give way to natu-ral growth and the adjacent Coastal Trail. As if that wasn’t enough, kids have Ocean View Park to call their own.

Where: Bounded by Granelli and Seymour streets, west of Highway 1.

What’s special: Arleta Park residents think of Pop-lar Beach as their own. This is the only beach access actively managed by the city of Half Moon Bay.

Dining: As with Alsace Lorraine directly to the north, there are no restaurants right in the neighbor-hood. But residents are close to one of the iconic gathering spots on the coast: Cameron’s Restaurant and Inn. The family favorite offers burgers, fish and chips and much more, all in a pub atmosphere.

Odds and ends: Arleta Park residents might con-sider Smith Field the neighborhood park. This is a bustling place, particularly on the weekends. Look for Little Leaguers and their families along with a dog park and horseshoe pit. The city owned field sits next to plenty of open space and trails to the beach.

Trail head: The southern part of Arleta park pro-vides a trailhead to the newly constructed Wavecrest trail which then feeds into the trail system to Venice Beach and the Ritz-Carlton. Residents can literally walk out their door to some of the most spectacular settings on the Coastside.

Where: Turn south on Main Street from Highway 92 and enter the city’s downtown. Homes are mostly on side streets on either side of the city’s main drag.

What’s special: Downtown Half Moon Bay maintains its small-town feel. There are restaurants, retail outlets, a library, the town’s middle school and even an iconic neighborhood grocery in the area.

Dining: The options are everywhere. Fine dining can be had at places like It’s Italia and Pasta Moon. Some of the best sandwiches in the county are made at the San Benito House, Cunha’s Country Grocery and Jersey Joe’s. There is sushi, pizza, Mexican and Indian fare — all a short walk from home.

Festival fun: Those that live downtown get front row seats to the area’s celebrations including the very popular Pumpkin Festival, the 4th of July parade, and the quaint Night of Lights event. Although the Coastside is known for it’s sleepy feel, the downtown area is the most ‘happening’ of the neighborhoods.

The heart of the Coastside is alive with restaurants, shops, and numerous festivals and events

Where: On Arnold Way, just off of Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay.

What’s special: Lesley Gardens is a senior community of 63 apartments that has been open since 2004. The affordable apartments are all equipped with full kitchens and the com-mons areas are pleasant, with wide halls, library, lounge and even an exercise room.

Staying active: The facility has a residents’ association that organizes bingo games and other entertainment options. It is right next to Sea Crest School and the sight of nearby chil-dren is always invigorating!

Odds and ends: An adjoining senior complex recently finished construction. It includes more housing and a new home for the Half Moon Bay Senior Center.

Senior center is right nearby

Where: Grand Boulevard, and the parallel Belleville Boulevard, run west from Highway 1 and dead end before Pilarcitos Creek just north of Highway 92 in Half Moon Bay.

What’s special: The neighborhood benefits from newly constructed Naomi Patridge Trail, which provides a paved trail along Highway 1 leading into town. Open space to the north provides a viewshed to Pillar Point and serves as a buf-fer between Casa del Mar neighborhood.

Convenient eats: There are several places for a quick bite to eat right within walking distance. McDonalds, Burger King, Subway and Starbucks are only a couple blocks away.

Odds and ends: The neighborhood of well-kept single-family homes is the closest in the city to Strawflower Village. The shopping center is a hub of activity, with groceries a phar-macy and more.

Residents have found a place halfway between the ocean and downtown

What’s special: The affordable manufactured home park is a re-

tirement community that offers views of the Pacific Ocean and the courses of the Half Moon Bay Golf Links.

Dining: There is nothing right in the park, but there are several good choices nearby. Locals like Joe’s for its wide menu and big portions. Of course, the Ritz and Mullins is right down the street for the more discriminating palate.

Odds and ends: Cañada Cove is well-known for the way residents get to know one another and participate in community gatherings. Residents have been known to be enthusiastic voters who participate in city and government affairs.

Where: Turn west on Fairway Drive off of Highway 1, south of downtown.

What’s special: Ocean Colony is the Coastside’s most exclusive neighbor-hoods. It is the only one guarded by a gate, the only one nestled among two championship golf courses and the only one that calls the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, its next door neighbor.

Dining: In addition to world-class dining at the nearby Ritz, locals are regulars among the crowd at Mullins Restaurant. The new addition of a bocce ball court is a focal point for socializing. Joe’s restaurant is a popular gathering spot.

Odds and ends: The cart path for the Ocean Course doubles as an extension of the Coastal Trail and is open to the public. Along the way you’ll find steps down to a beautiful and uncrowded beach — just keep your eyes open for errant tee shots.

Where: The hub of the South Coast is located about 15 miles south of Half Moon Bay, about a mile east of Highway 1.

What’s special: To step into Pescadero is to step back in time in a com-munity that combines a rural flavor with the modern world. Residents enjoy access to the nearby beach and Pescadero Marsh, which is a favorite haunt of bird lovers. Its downtown is a favorite among Silicon Valley day-trippers looking for a quick getaway.

Dining: Foodies love Pescadero. There is the venerable Duarte’s Tavern and its beloved pies and artichoke soup and Harley Farms’ delicate and one-of-a-kind cheeses. Don’t forget Arcangeli Grocery Co. and Norm’s Market, which is well-known for its country-style breads. Tucked inside the town's only gas station is a nationally recognized taqueria.

Odds and ends: Pescadero has many caring residents. One of its most ac-tive civic organizations is Puente de la Costa Sur. Puente is a nonprofit that provides safety-net services for many in the surrounding rural communities.

Charming and historic Pescadero prides itself on open space and self-sufficient residents

Where: Head south on Skyline Boulevard, about seven miles from Highway 92.

What’s special: Living among the giant redwood trees is the primary allure. Kings Mountain has it’s own microclimate and vibe, even its own volunteer fire department.

Rich history: The Santa Cruz Mountain community of about 400 families has been the site of brothels, speakeasies, logging operations, dairies and even a vibrant Norwegian community.

Odds and ends: People throughout the Bay Area and beyond know the wooded region best for the Kings Mountain Art Fair. The fair is tucked amid the trees and attracts fine artists and community crafters.

Weather: While shade from the redwoods can keep the area cool, it stands above much of the coastal fog making for some hot summer weather. In the winter, expect more than average rainfall which keeps the ferns and lush foliage green.

The Skyline community sits on the backbone of the Peninsula

Where: San Gregorio rests – and it’s a peaceful sort of place – just off of Highway 84, about a mile east of Highway 1.

Shopping: San Gregorio may be home to only about 200 people, but hundreds more visit every weekend. You are liable to meet bicyclists from all over the peninsula and tour-ists from every corner of the globe. Specifically, they come to meander through one of the Coastside’s true treasures, the San Gregorio Store. It’s an eclectic mix of books, many with an environmentalist’s point of view, T-shirts, soft drinks, campaign buttons and more. There are also a few tables and a stage area for musicians as well as a bar.

Unique Beach: San Gregorio State Beach, nearby and off of Highway 1, is well known for the driftwood creations that visitors assemble.

What’s in a name: San Gregorio, takes its name from Pope Gregory, also known as Saint Gregory the Great. He was the patron saint of musicians, teachers and students.

The General Store provides anchor for rural community

Where: Nestled in the redwoods on Highway 84 midway between the coast and Skyline.

What’s special: La Honda is an artsy community with a storied place in Bay Area history. Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters once played here, as did the Grateful Dead and the Hell’s Angels.

Dining: There are several places to eat and drink of note: Alice’s Res-taurant, in Sky Londa, is not the spot of 1960s song, but it is the place for a breakfast or a gourmet sandwich. Apple Jack’s is lovingly called a “dive bar” by some, but it is an institution and a one-of-a-kind hangout.

Odds and ends: La Honda attracts all kinds. There are dot-com millionaires in the woods along with aging hippies, motorcycle enthusiasts and tourists, to name just some of the subgroups attracted to the mountain spot. The twisting roads are part of the fun and can make Silicon Valley feel far, far away.

Park it: The beautiful Sam Macdonald County Park is nearby. Its 850 acres are split by redwood forests and open grass land. Hikers on the ridge are rewarded with sweeping views of the Pacific.

Where: Along Pescadero Creek Road, east of Pescadero and south of La Honda.

What’s special: What’s not special? It’s home to about 100 souls who prefer to live tucked in the redwood trees and away from the relative metropolis of La Honda. The “retail district” is dominated by the Loma Mar Store. The town compensates for what it lacks in suburban amenities with charm and mountain character.

Odds and ends: Last year the San Mateo County Office of Education sold 173 hilly acres to the Peninsula Open Space Trust, which in turn deeded the land to the county govern-ment. The plan? Trails and perhaps camping in the future.

Park it: Nearby San Mateo County Memorial Park features nearly 500 acres of trails, picnic and camping facilities and other rudimentary amenities. Call (650) 879-0238 for details.

Off the radar and among the redwoods — just the way the residents like it.

Montara Mountain and the famous Linda Mar surf break ajoin rows of neatly organized houses

The most popular surf spot on the San Mateo County coast

Where: Just north of Devil’s Slide and East of Highway 1 in Pacifica.

What’s special: One of the largest neighborhoods in Pacifica, it is also one of the most convenient with the Linda Mar Shopping Center, Crespi Shopping Center and Oddstad Shopping area all nearby.

Parks: One of the most beloved parks in Pacifica is tucked into the back of Linda Mar. Frontierland Park is hidden gem has extensive playgrounds, open space, BBQ areas and plenty of open space for casual gatherings or formal parties. The newly created Devil’s Slide trail connects Pacifica to Montara via the old Highway and boasts jaw-dropping views.

Surf’s Up: Linda Mar is probably most famous for the wide surf break at Linda Mar Beach. Sunny weekends expect to see hundreds of surfers of every skill level testing luck from ‘boat docks’ in the south to ‘crespi’ in the north.

Schools: Beautiful Terra Nova High School makes it home in Linda Mar. About 1,250 students attend the school which was built in 1961.

Where: Just north of Devil’s Slide and West of Highway 1.

What’s special: The neighborhood clings to the steep slope of Pedro Point and is often sunny when neighbors to the south are shrouded in fog. Gor-geous views can be had in the uncrowded Pedro Point Headlands which sits above the residential area. Access is from Highway just south of the dense euclyptus grove.

Shopping: Though a small neighborhood, it boasts some great restaurants and shopping including a hardware and grocery store and a very popular surf shop that sells and rents equipment.

Odds and Ends: Pedro Point is home to the hidden community of Shelter Cove. You can peer down to it from the bluffs, but access is for residents only. The historic Pedro Point Firehouse is home to many community events and classes and hosts a craft fair before the holidays.

Steep streets, stately homes and incredible views dominate this unique neighborhood

FIVE HOME REMODELING PROJECTS ON A BUDGETFIVE HOME REMODELING PROJECTS ON A BUDGETWhen it comes to upgrading your home, there is a never-ending list of things to do — from buying new patio furniture to replacing the kitchen cabinets. But the editors of MONEY Magazine suggest fi ve home remodeling projects that will vastly improve the look of your home without breaking the budget:1. IMPROVE THE CURB APPEAL: Whether or not you are planning

to sell your home, an inviting fi rst appearance is important. Spend some time in the front yard from the curb in, pulling weeds, planting perennials, and trimming hedges. You can make needed repairs to fences or front steps and change out your old, dull mailbox all for under $500.

2. PAINT THE FRONT DOOR: A spiffy, new fi berglass front door could cost $1,000 or more, but you can upgrade the look for a lot less by adding new hardware and a fresh coat of paint. Add a new light fi xture, a fresh doormat, and a pot of fl owers, and you may have money left over from the $500 bill.

3. PAINT INTERIOR WALLS: Nothing changes the look of a room more than a fresh coat of paint. It can get complicated and expensive if you need to repair drywall, remove mold, or have really tall ceilings, so you may need to hire a professional. But, if you can do it yourself, you may even be able to upgrade baseboards or add crown molding and stay within a $500 budget.

4. UPDATE THE LIGHTING: Lighting fi xtures are to a home what jewelry is to an outfi t. They can add pizzazz or look dated and dowdy. Switching out a chandelier over the dining room table is a fairly easy,

budget-friendly project. Shop big-box stores for inexpensive models or ask about fl oor sample sales at retail outlets. If you’re on too tight of a budget, consider updating lamps you already have with new shades. Also, you may want to spend some of that $500 budget to upgrade the look with bathroom lighting or mirrors.

5. CLEAN & DECLUTTER: Rent a storage space, and donate or sell excess items. Before you go on the market, go room by room and inspect or seek advice from your decorator friend to help lighten your load.

MONTARA MOUNTAIN

PEDRo PoINT

Where: In Pacifica, along Reina Del Mar Avenue just north of Rockaway Beach.

What’s special: A hidden enclave surrounded by open space, this distinct neighborhood is dominated by mature trees and the unique Calera Creek Park that runs through the center of the area.

Schools:Vallemar Elementary School serves between 500 and 600 students and is an anchor to the community. The popular Family Day and Buddy programs encourage partnerships throughout the school and a sense of family among students.

Odds and ends: Driving into Vallemar is to es-cape the hustle and bustle of surrounding areas. Though it has less conveniences than Linda Mar to the south, it makes up for it in charm. Those in the eastern part of the community tend to enjoy a few more sunny days than the foggier area closer to the ocean.

Golfing, fishing, shopping, and, of course, the beach

Neighborhood file

Where: In Pacifica, just south of Pacific Manor.

What’s special: This large community boasts some-thing for everyone. Golfers will enjoy the oceanside golf course which weaves its way through Cypress forests and along the beach. Anglers can try their luck at the Pacifica Fishing Pier which is one of the most popular in the state. The fishing is good and no license is required. And shoppers will find unique treasures along the charming Palmetto Avenue business district.

Odds and ends: The most famous house in Pacifica is actually a cas-tle. Built in 1908 and now owned by Sam Mazza, this unique resi-dence is rumored to be home to police raids, bones buried in the garden, and parties that raised the roof. The building is open once a month for visitors.

Over the hill: While much of the Coastside may seem isolated, the Sharp Park neighborhood enjoys the con-venience of a short cut to Silicon Valley, large shopping malls and the San Francisco Airport — all just about 15 minutes away over Sharp Park Boulevard.

Where: Split on both sides of Highway 1 just north of Val-lemar.

What’s special: Fairway Park is bordered by Mori Point to the south, the ocean to the west, Sharp Park Golf Course to the north and wooded hills to the east. Residents are sur-rounded by nature, yet have easy access to the Highway 1 thoroughfare.

Batter Up!: The eastern section of the neighborhood is home to several of Pacifica’s little league fields. The quaint facilities come alive on spring weekends when teams from all over come to play.

National Park: For nearly a century, Mori Point served as a haven for settlers, travelers and boot-leggers and diners. Today, after a generation of development battles, this spectacular 32-acre property serves as a haven for walkers and wildlife.

Neighborhood file

Where: In northern Pacifica between the border of Daly City and Milagra Ridge.

Home sweet home: Rows of well kept houses built in the forties and fifties gives the area a retro charm, but many homeowners have updated their dwellings to give them a distinctive modern look. The tree lined streets serve as a cozy backdrop to many yound families. Unique cliff-side apartments give those residents some breathtaking ocean views.

Park it: The ridge in the heart of Pacifica is critical habitat to such species as the Redtail Hawk and the Mission Blue Butterfly. Milagra Ridge, part of the Golden Gate National Parks since 1987, was first used by the Ohlone and then claimed by Spanish settlers. In the 1940s, the U.S. Army built a gun battery on the ridge and later, a Nike missle station. Remnants of these facilities can still be found. The park’s main access is from Sharp Park Road.

Shopping: The Pacific Manor shopping district includes grocery stores, hardware stores, fitness centers, pharmacies, gift shops, delis and cafés. Locals rave over Ma-zetti’s Bakery, Columbo’s Deli and the ocean views at the Chit Chat Café.

It’s been a long time coming, but home prices for both the coast and San Mateo County are back in record territory.

San Mateo County home prices have been setting new all-time highs every year since 2013. The coast just hit a new record this year. What’s most interesting is that the gap between home prices

here and elsewhere in the county continue to widen, making the coast a much more afford-able area.

The first quarter of this year is off to a great start with most main indicators moving in a posi-tive direction. Sales volume is the lagging fac-tor, mainly due to tight inventory. But for those looking for affordable or distressed homes, you waited too long. Well-priced homes are going fast, both at the low end of the market and high end as well.

The average home price for the first quarter on the coast now stands at $1.04 million, up 7 percent from first quarter 2014 and up 1 per-cent from the full year. Sales prices ranged from $300,000 for a cottage in Pescadero to $3.8 million for an oceanfront home in Pescadero on two acres.

Distressed sales continue to decline and now account for 2 percent of all sales, down from 11 percent last year and 16 percent in 2013. Homes under $500,000 are extremely difficult to find, accounting now for just 6 percent of sales. That’s up from 4 percent in 2014 but down from 9 percent in 2013. Sales under $600,000 aren’t plentiful either. They make up 13 percent of sales, up from 11 percent in 2014, but down from 28 percent in 2013.

Sales volume continues to improve and is the best we’ve seen in years. However, it’s still down

from past years. Sixty-four homes sold this quar-ter, up from 54 in 2014 and 2013, 52 in 2012, 17 in 2009 (our worst year), and 95 in 1999, our best year. Volume is up 19 percent from 2014, but down 33 percent from 1999.

Inventory peaked in 2003 then declined until 2006 when it started to rise again. As of March 3, there were just 72 total listings of which 42 were available. By comparison, last year at the end of the first quarter, there were 120 total listings with 79 available. Available inventory has been very low since 2012.

Not surprisingly, homes have sold more quick-ly this quarter due to the very tight inventory levels. Average selling time is 65 days this year compared to 81 days in 2014 and 61 days in 2013. Sixty-four percent of all sales occurred in less than 30 days. What also shows how things are changing is percentage of homes selling over list price: 43 percent of all sales in 2005 went over list price compared to 10 percent in 2010, 31percent percent in 2013, 24 percent in 2014 and now 41 percent.

Here’s an update on each of our coastal

By Steve Hyman

The average home price for the first quarter for the coast now stands at $1,037,000, up 7 percent from first quarter 2014 and up 1 percent from the full year. Sales prices ranged from $300,000 for a cottage in Pescadero to $3.8 million an oceanfront home in Pescadero on two acres.

Page 52: Neighborhoods spring 2015

towns. (It should be mentioned that some of the prices for the towns on the coast should be looked at carefully since the sample sizes are so small this early in the year. After all, only 64 homes sold for the entire area this quarter, and some towns had as few as eight sales.)

Half Moon Bay: average price $1.12 million; up 1 percent from first quarter 2014, down 2 percent from full year 2014.

El Granada: average price $965,000; down 4 percent from first quarter 2014, up 7 percent from 2014.

Moss Beach: average price $1.24 million; up 40 percent from first-quarter 2014, up 2 percent from 2014.

Montara: average price $814,000; down 9 percent from first quarter 2014, down 15 percent from 2014.

South Coast average price is

$896,000, up 73 percent from first quarter 2014, up 11 percent from 2014.

Pacifica: median sales price is up 8.5% from the same period last year.

San Mateo County home prices increased by 9 percent over the first quarter of last year and 10 percent over year-end 2014 to new record high of $1.53 million! Sales volume is the one soft spot where it is down 1 percent from the com-parable period last year. Avail-able homes aren’t lasting long, as is evident with an average selling time of just 33 days. And if that doesn’t convince you of how hot the market is in the county, how about the fact that the average home sells for 106 percent of list price?

This chart shows average home prices from 2000 for

both the coast and San Mateo County. Besides home prices being back in record territory, especially the county, what’s most interesting is the widening home price gap between the coast and the county. Last year, the spread was $427,000 and now it’s $495,000. Based on this, we will probably see more people moving here be cause it’s more affordable — that is if you consider an average price north of $1 million to be affordable.

SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTS AT LEAST

30 RIDERSBy Julia Reis

[ [email protected] ]

Despite a drop in ridership over the school year, Cabrillo Unifi ed School Dis-trict’s governing board is lending its sup-port to continuing the Cunha Intermedi-ate School bus route — should more stu-dents come onboard.

The pilot route began in August, shut-tling Cunha students from the Midcoast to the middle school on weekday morn-ings. The move followed parent inqui-ries about bringing back school buses, which led Cabrillo to convene a transpor-tation committee to study the issue. But

so far, there hasn’t been much demand. Currently, only 14 students are riding the bus consistently, down from 19 rid-ers at the route’s peak.

Cabrillo’s hope for outside funding to support the route has also not come to fruition. The school district applied for Measure A funding through San Mateo County, but the county indicated that it would not allow Cabrillo to move for-ward in the application process this funding cycle because the request did not align with county grant priorities.

But Cabrillo Superintendent Tony

Roehrick says San Mateo County Su-pervisor Don Horsley indicated that county dollars through the Connect the Coastside endeavor could be made avail-able for the bus program in the 2016-17 school year. That possibility, along with increased ridership, would keep the bus route running next school year until it sustains itself.

“For the governing board giving direc-tion to staff, it was really around ‘Do we want to continue subsidizing this route for another year in hopes of attaining county

Cost of incomplete erosion study surpasses $1M

By Mark Noack[ [email protected] ]

To many observers, the best way to halt erosion at Surfer’s Beach is obvi-ous: Take the sand built up on the east end of Pillar Point Harbor and use it to nourish the depleted shore on the oth-er side of the breakwater.

Since 2009, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been studying this very

idea with the hope to open up $5 mil-lion in federal funds to pay for it. Now, six years in, that analysis and environ-mental report remain incomplete, but their costs continue to mount.

This week, Army Corps offi cials re-ported they have spent more than $1 million so far on the erosion analysis,

albeit with little to show the public as a result. Half of this expense is being covered by the San Mateo County Har-bor District, which is acting as the lo-cal partner for the study.

For their part, Army Corps offi cials emphasize the analysis is nearly com-plete. Researchers should be fi nished

by the end of this year, said Victoria McAllister, an Army Corps spokes-woman.

“Everyone tells me they’re in the fi -nal phase,” McAllister said. “You can imagine there’s a great deal of fi guring things out with the regulations, rules

Audit identifi es

[ [email protected] ]

Upgraded crosswalks, a remote school drop-off and pickup location and yield lines on Main Street are among the recommen-dations for Cabrillo Uni-fi ed School District to con-sider to improve traffi c and student safety around Half Moon Bay High School.

The fi ndings were brought to a recent Cabrillo governing board meeting as part of a walking and biking audit conducted by a trans-portation consulting fi rm. In joining San Mateo Coun-ty’s Safe Routes to School initiative in 2012, Cabrillo has since conducted walk-ing audits of the immedi-ate area surrounding sever-al district schools to deter-mine where improvements can be made for students biking, walking or being driven to school.

Texas man charged

with attempted

murderINCIDENT

OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY 1

SATURDAY NIGHTBy Clay Lambert

[ [email protected] ]

San Mateo County Sher-iff's deputies have arrested a 57-year-old Texas man on two counts of attempted murder and other weapons charges af-ter he reportedly fi red a gun at two motorists and threatened two more on Highway 1 on Saturday night.

Prosecutors say two teenage brothers were driving a pick-up truck south on Highway 1 toward Butano State Park at about 6:52 p.m. when they no-ticed that the driver of a BMW was swerving in the lane be-hind them as if trying to pass. One of the brothers, whom the Sheriff’s Offi ce described as a 16-year-old from Pleasanton, waved for the BMW to pass, but the driver of the other car gave a “hang loose” hand ges-ture and continued on.

The brothers kept driving until they noticed a sleeping bag had become unsecured in the back of their pickup truck. They pulled over onto a turn-out near Tunitas Creek to se-cure the sleeping bag and quickly noticed the BMW had pulled up 30 to 50 yards be-hind them. Authorities say the driver of that car, Daniel Floyd Vezina, pulled a rifl e from the car and fi red a single shot to-ward the brothers. The shot failed to hit either the teenag-

Library funding may require

supermajority

By Esther Hahn[ [email protected] ]

Last February in a 4-1 vote, the Half Moon Bay City Coun-cil passed plans to make more than $8 million available in lease revenue bonds to help fund the city’s new library. But a group of local constituents want to require a supermajor-ity vote from the council in or-der to actually issue the bonds.

If passed, the council will presumably have to secure at least a 4-1 vote to issue the bonds. This measure would af-fect funding for the library be-cause a fi nal funding amount and subsequent vote are still required for the project.

"I'm troubled that people are trying to derail the library,” Councilman Rick Kowalczyk

said. “That isn't what the com-munity wants.”

Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a

good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer.

There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the cur-rent owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful coopera-tion between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated.

Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspec-tor come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first prior-ity -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be un-safe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made.

A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise.

Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walk-ing away from the deal. Such repairs include:

lender-required repairs that could impact home safety leaky pipes water penetration issues, including a bad roof unsafe decking or handrails wet basements or crawl spaces insecure foundations or obvious structural damage poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system

It is always adviseable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate at-torney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important deci-sions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next several years. — Metro

Here are some Coastside resources

If the mere concept of moving doesn’t conjure a frustrating image you simply aren’t remembering all there is to do. Moving is exciting, exhausting and expensive. If you want to survive it without adding

a couple more “exes” (ex-spouse, ex-friend, ex-con…) you’ll want to create a checklist and follow it closely.

Luckily, we’re here to help. You’re welcome.

Get rid of stuff. Things accumulate in garages, desk drawers and attics. Organizational experts say if you haven’t touched it in a year, you prob-ably don’t need it. Hold a garage sale, donate things to a qualified charity, or sell it online. A good bet locally is the Senior Coastsiders Thrift Store. Dona-tions are accepted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays. The store is located at 515 Kelly Ave. in Half Moon Bay.

Plan for school. If you have school-age children, a move is a big deal to them. Get them ready for their new friends by checking in with the proper school. Cabrillo Unified School District requires a two-page New Student Reg-istration Form. You can find it at Ca-brillo.k12.ca.us. The fist day of school is generally that last week in August.

The private Sea Crest School in Half Moon Bay arranges tours and student shadow days. Email [email protected] or call 712-9892.

Turn on the lights. There are myriad agencies and private companies to check in with, depending on your needs. You might start with the water departments. Coastside County Water District serves Half Moon Bay and nearby areas. Call a customer service representative at 726-4405 for help. If you are moving to Moss Beach or Montara, give the Montara Water and Sanitary District a call at 728-3545. The Coastside is served by PG&E for gas and electric. The company has a helpful Web page for movers. To go pge.com and click the “Service Requests” tab.

Get a relocation package. The Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce and Visitors’ Bureau will

mail you much of what you need to know (and a copy of Neighborhoods on the Coast as well as the current issue of the Half Moon Bay Review newspaper). Visit halfmoonbaycham-ber.org and click on “Living on the Coast.” It might be the best $7 you will spend during your move.

Be prepared. You’ll want to be the first to know what’s happening in your new community. Sign up for SMC Alerts, which are email or text alerts from the San Mateo county Office of Emergency Services. You’ll learn about highway closings and other emergencies affecting life on the coast. Your most reliable source of Coastside information is the Half Moon Bay Review.

SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTS AT LEAST

30 RIDERSBy Julia Reis

[ [email protected] ]

Despite a drop in ridership over the school year, Cabrillo Unifi ed School Dis-trict’s governing board is lending its sup-port to continuing the Cunha Intermedi-ate School bus route — should more stu-dents come onboard.

The pilot route began in August, shut-tling Cunha students from the Midcoast to the middle school on weekday morn-ings. The move followed parent inqui-ries about bringing back school buses, which led Cabrillo to convene a transpor-tation committee to study the issue. But

so far, there hasn’t been much demand. Currently, only 14 students are riding the bus consistently, down from 19 rid-ers at the route’s peak.

Cabrillo’s hope for outside funding to support the route has also not come to fruition. The school district applied for Measure A funding through San Mateo County, but the county indicated that it would not allow Cabrillo to move for-ward in the application process this funding cycle because the request did not align with county grant priorities.

But Cabrillo Superintendent Tony

Roehrick says San Mateo County Su-pervisor Don Horsley indicated that county dollars through the Connect the Coastside endeavor could be made avail-able for the bus program in the 2016-17 school year. That possibility, along with increased ridership, would keep the bus route running next school year until it sustains itself.

“For the governing board giving direc-tion to staff, it was really around ‘Do we want to continue subsidizing this route for another year in hopes of attaining county

Cost of incomplete erosion study surpasses $1M

By Mark Noack[ [email protected] ]

To many observers, the best way to halt erosion at Surfer’s Beach is obvi-ous: Take the sand built up on the east end of Pillar Point Harbor and use it to nourish the depleted shore on the oth-er side of the breakwater.

Since 2009, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been studying this very

idea with the hope to open up $5 mil-lion in federal funds to pay for it. Now, six years in, that analysis and environ-mental report remain incomplete, but their costs continue to mount.

This week, Army Corps offi cials re-ported they have spent more than $1 million so far on the erosion analysis,

albeit with little to show the public as a result. Half of this expense is being covered by the San Mateo County Har-bor District, which is acting as the lo-cal partner for the study.

For their part, Army Corps offi cials emphasize the analysis is nearly com-plete. Researchers should be fi nished

by the end of this year, said Victoria McAllister, an Army Corps spokes-woman.

“Everyone tells me they’re in the fi -nal phase,” McAllister said. “You can imagine there’s a great deal of fi guring things out with the regulations, rules

Audit identifi es

high school transit

opportunitiesBy Julia Reis

[ [email protected] ]

Upgraded crosswalks, a remote school drop-off and pickup location and yield lines on Main Street are among the recommen-dations for Cabrillo Uni-fi ed School District to con-sider to improve traffi c and student safety around Half Moon Bay High School.

The fi ndings were brought to a recent Cabrillo governing board meeting as part of a walking and biking audit conducted by a trans-portation consulting fi rm. In joining San Mateo Coun-ty’s Safe Routes to School initiative in 2012, Cabrillo has since conducted walk-ing audits of the immedi-ate area surrounding sever-al district schools to deter-mine where improvements can be made for students biking, walking or being driven to school.

Texas man charged

with attempted

OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY 1

SATURDAY NIGHTBy Clay Lambert

[ [email protected] ]

San Mateo County Sher-iff's deputies have arrested a 57-year-old Texas man on two counts of attempted murder and other weapons charges af-ter he reportedly fi red a gun at two motorists and threatened two more on Highway 1 on Saturday night.

Prosecutors say two teenage brothers were driving a pick-up truck south on Highway 1 toward Butano State Park at about 6:52 p.m. when they no-ticed that the driver of a BMW was swerving in the lane be-hind them as if trying to pass. One of the brothers, whom the Sheriff’s Offi ce described as a 16-year-old from Pleasanton, waved for the BMW to pass, but the driver of the other car gave a “hang loose” hand ges-ture and continued on.

The brothers kept driving until they noticed a sleeping bag had become unsecured in the back of their pickup truck. They pulled over onto a turn-out near Tunitas Creek to se-cure the sleeping bag and quickly noticed the BMW had pulled up 30 to 50 yards be-hind them. Authorities say the driver of that car, Daniel Floyd Vezina, pulled a rifl e from the car and fi red a single shot to-ward the brothers. The shot failed to hit either the teenag-

Library funding may require

supermajority

By Esther Hahn[ [email protected] ]

Last February in a 4-1 vote, the Half Moon Bay City Coun-cil passed plans to make more than $8 million available in lease revenue bonds to help fund the city’s new library. But a group of local constituents want to require a supermajor-ity vote from the council in or-der to actually issue the bonds.

If passed, the council will presumably have to secure at least a 4-1 vote to issue the bonds. This measure would af-fect funding for the library be-cause a fi nal funding amount and subsequent vote are still required for the project.

"I'm troubled that people are trying to derail the library,” Councilman Rick Kowalczyk

said. “That isn't what the com-munity wants.”

Your next president, or

an April Fool?

Why do we call them “practical” jokes? Tricks on April 1 are

hardly practical, even when they’re side-splittingly funny.

This being the year before the next presidential election, the likely candidates are walk-ing that precarious tightrope of sounding interested in be-ing our next president without actually announcing their can-didacies. Here they are, along with some of their political line-hugging statements, and some half-witty observations [in brackets].

Joe Biden (D-DE, VP) “There’s no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run.” [Unless voters hate dou-ble negatives.]

Jeb Bush (R-FL, ex-gover-nor) “I have decided to actively explore the possibility of run-ning for president of the Unit-ed States.” [“And with my fa-ther and brother, I will form a league of presidents, the Bush Lea— oh, wait.”]

Ben Carson (R-MD, neuro-surgeon) “I think the likeli-hood is strong.” [May the Like-lihood be with you.]

Hillary Clinton (D-NY, ex-SOS, etc.) “I am going to be making a decision … prob-ably after the fi rst of the year about whether I’m going to run again or not.” [“And prob-ably after the campaign fi -nancing limit kicks in, and on a slow news day, and when I happen to be standing in front of a lot of cameras and micro-phones.”]

Chris Christie (R-NJ, gov-ernor) "I’m thinking about it. It is an enormous decision to make not only for me, but my family.” [You’ll close that bridge when you come to it?]

Ted Cruz (R-TX, senator) According to an aide, "At this point it's 90/10 he's in. And honestly, 90 is lowballing it.” [But 93 while drinking cock-tails would be highballing it.]

Lindsey Graham (R-SC, senator) “I think the world is falling apart, and I’ve been more right than wrong when it comes to foreign policy. But we’ll see.” [We’ll know it’s fall-ing apart if you get elected.]

Mike Huckabee (R-Ark., ex-governor) "It would be, frank-ly, dishonest to say no.” [Or to say that you have a snowball’s chance in hell.]

Bobby Jindal (R-LA, gov-ernor.) "I’m not going to be coy. I’m thinking about run-ning for president and praying about it.” [The thought that you might win has us pray-ing, too.]

John Kasick (R-OH, gover-nor) "Well, George, well, look, you know, you knew you were never going to get a good an-swer out of me here today.” [Well, John, well, you know, look, we can’t wait to hear your press conferences.]

Peter King (R-NY, U.S. rep-resentative) "I'm certainly looking at it. I'll be back in New Hampshire on June 21. And when I saw Hillary Clin-ton yesterday, I told her to get ready.” [She seemed confused and kept asking, “Who the hell are you?”]

COASTSIDER HONORED FOR DECADES OF VOLUNTEERISM

By Stacy Trevenon[ [email protected] ]

Moss Beach resident Judy Macias was quoted in a 1972 Half Moon Bay Review issue as saying “I just want to make a difference.”

Since then, Macias says, that drive to make a difference “hasn't changed.” On March 21, she received the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay's Service Above Self Award. Named after the Rotary International motto, it recognizes exemplary vol-unteer work by a Coastsider.

Macias, who was a fi nalist for the award along with June Baxter, Carol Ferguson and Naomi Patridge, was honored at the local club’s annual “Magic of the Coastside” fundraiser.

“It was very, very touching, very signifi cant and humbling for me to be honored by local folks, especially in such power-ful company,” she said.

COMPOSER-SINGER BLENDS SOUND AND PHILOSOPHY IN CLASSESBy Stacy Trevenon[ [email protected] ]

Many people know Peter Al-exander Welch as owner of Arrowhead Framing for the past 18 years.

But using his middle name and with extensive musical training, he’s also a composer, singer and

writer of musical theater works.Walk into his Main Street store in Half Moon Bay,

pass through the offi ce and you will fi nd the modest rooms the owner calls home, located behind the shop. There you enter a calm and peaceful world separate from business but scented with sage and leading to a calmer state of mind.

That atmosphere epitomizes the sessions Alexander will offer beginning this week, in what he calls “Heal-ing Kirtan.” The Sanskrit term, with roots in the 14th

century, he said, means a form of devotional singing or chanting, and describes a meditative experience based in mantra and yogic philosophy.

“It’s an extremely meditative activity,” said Alexan-der, who begins each day by chanting in the meditation room adjacent to his home.

In it, a bright purple and gold scarf stretches along the back wall and frames a room with musical instru-ments like a gong and a harmonium from which he pumps a uniquely soothing, droning sound. Prayer fl ags hang from the ceiling and candles are arranged in brightly colorful holders.

What some expect from Kirtan, Alexander said, is a more high-energy, movement-oriented form of yoga. But what he offers is a more tranquil meditative expe-rience focused on the mental state. The chanting, he said, induces a meditative state that allows for contem-plation, but participants are welcome to merely listen as well.

The traditional Kirtan form of chanting is in call-and-response fashion, chanting the names of God, he said. He borrows from texts of devotional themes from the Vedas, Upanishads and yogic sutras for meditation.

Not in this small room, but in more spacious quar-ters at the Joy of Being Studio in Moss Beach or at Enso Yoga Studio in Half Moon Bay, Alexander will offer 90-minute Healing Kirtan sessions.

“I think of myself primarily as a teacher,” Alexander said.

Alexander’s sessions will take place from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on the fi rst Friday of every month at the Joy of Be-ing studio at 2385 Carlos St. in Moss Beach, with a $16 drop-in fee.

Also, sessions will be offered from 6:45 to 8 p.m. on the second and fourth Fridays of each month at the Enso studio at 131 Kelly Ave. in Half Moon Bay. There is a $10 drop-in fee for these sessions. Call Enso owner Mauro Ffortissimo for details at 726-1409.

With a degree in music theory from the University of California, Santa Barbara, Alexander leads the sessions drawing on his background as musician and singer and his own yoga practice and spiritual teaching. Hav-ing dabbled in various yoga and meditation approach-es, he began with anusara yoga and now focuses on hatha yoga.

Six years ago, he said, meditation became a more se-rious part of his life. And two years ago during a yoga immersion program, he came in contact with Sanskrit texts.

“They captivated me,” he said. “That was one of those magic moments where I actively started going in a different direction.”

Today, sound is an ever-present factor in his sessions.“I fi nd something magical in sound,” he said. “The

combination of sound in chanting with Sanskrit texts focuses the mind. It brings the person completely into the present moment.”

The calming aspect of his meditative sessions bal-ances a busy world, he said.

“People’s lives tend to be so hectic,” he said. “Chant-ing sessions allow people to really let go of that busy-ness.

“That’s part of why I do sessions on Friday nights: It’s a good transition from the work week to the week-end. It’s a way of taking all the stress from work and letting it go.”

OPPONENTS SAY COMMITTEE SHOULD BE SEATED FIRST

By Clay Lambert[ [email protected] ]

In another split vote, the Half Moon Bay City Council narrowly approved hiring a Colorado fi rm to test the condition of the Main Street Bridge. The physical tests are expected to begin next month.

The bridge, which separates the main downtown area from the bulk of commuter and visitor traffi c

to the north, was the focal point of a con-tentious few years among city politi-cians and their con-stituents. It all began in 2009 with a Cal-trans engineering re-port suggesting the bridge was among the worst in the state and structurally un-sound.

In the interven-ing years, the city se-

cured millions of dollars from federal sources with which to tackle the problem. In 2013, over the loud objections of downtown residents and merchants, the council voted to replace the bridge. That plan crumbled under the weight of increasing opposi-tion, and last year the city sponsored a pair of bal-lot initiatives that sought to outline a strategy for re-pairing the bridge.

Voters sent a clear message last summer, passing Measure F. It requires a vote of the people should the council ever elect to replace or substantially change the bridge. Now the city is intent on testing the structural integrity of the bridge to see whether any fi x is possible.

In a 3-2 vote on April 7, the council accepted staff’s recommendation to hire Colorado-based At-kinson-Noland and Associates to conduct a series

If you ever run into Jim Sullivan, chances are it’ll be outdoors.

A lifelong Bay Area resident, Sullivan serves on the Pacifi ca Open Space Commit-tee, as a trail ambassador for Devil’s Slide

Trail, and volunteers for the National Park Service leading mountain bike rides through Rancho Corral de Tierra. He’s an avid mountain biker who has also taken up horseback riding since his granddaughter stables a horse locally.

“On any given day, it could be wheels or hooves, and the trails are very agreeable to either of those endeavors,” Sul-livan said.

Sullivan’s latest outdoor endeavor? Advocating for more public access on some lesser-known trails as a member of Open the San Francisco Watershed, a group formed over a year ago by San Bruno resident Andy Howse. A trail runner who frequents Rancho Corral de Tierra among other locales, Howse started a Facebook page calling for the San Francis-co Public Utilities Commission to relax its restrictions on allowing hikers and cyclists into the watershed properties.

A left turn lane for Lemos Farm, a Surfer’s Beach pedestrian overpass and a myriad of other transportation-related improvements make up the latest document released by San Mateo County as part of Connect the Coast-side.

The document serves as an evaluation of ways that transportation on the coast, whether by bike, foot, car or bus, could be improved to meet the current level of service standards and future build-out projections. It is made up of three alternatives ranging from least to most high impact, character-ized by San Mateo County Planner and Proj-ect Manager James Hinkamp as “low-hang-ing fruit” to the most ambitious and expen-

sive improvements. “In Alternative 3, you’re really getting the

whole pie, not just a piece of it,” Hinkamp said. “Naturally, by having the ambitious col-lection in Alternative 3, it’s a little more long-range.”

For example, where the fi rst alternative fo-cuses on lower-cost enhancements like add-ing sidewalks along Highway 1 and striped crossings, the third alternative calls for roundabouts at several intersections and re-alignment of Highway 1 in El Granada to ad-dress sea level rise, in addition to recommen-dations from the previous two alternatives.

The document also includes price esti-mates for each proposed project and a hybrid alternative with suggested improvements.

Project representatives will be on hand to-night at Cypress Meadows to present these al-

ternatives and take questions and comments from attendees. The transit alternatives were fi rst presented at a Midcoast Community Council meeting on April 8.

The county began the Connect the Coast-side endeavor last summer mandated by the California Coastal Commission as part of San Mateo County’s Local Coastal Program. The end goal is to create a comprehensive trans-portation management plan to address how

Harbor district airs computer

failureNETWORK

EXPENSES SHELVED FOR NOWBy Clay Lambert

[ [email protected] ]

Three years ago, the San Mateo County Harbor District spent more than $20,000 for computer equipment that has never been installed. Com-mission Chair Sabrina Brennan says the district’s acting general manager overstepped his authority in purchas-ing still more equipment. Now staff worries about an IT meltdown as the district prepares for a move that might not happen.

All of that was revealed at an April 1 meeting at Sea Crest School in Half Moon Bay that got off to a rough start and ended abruptly when Brennan became ill. The meeting had to be called off at that time because Com-missioners Robert Bernardo and Tom Mattusch were not in attendance and there was no longer a quorum for the fi ve-member board.

In some respects, little was accom-plished. Commissioners did not get to a discussion of harbor fees, water quality or a draft of the coming bud-get. But they did shed some light on the dark corners of their technology expenses, even if they didn’t complete-ly resolve the issue.

It started with a request to spend up to $39,500 for technology consulting and equipment. Staff, at a consultant’s urging, initially approved the charges, but reconsidered after hearing com-plaints. Staff argued the expense was necessary to maintain safe, networked connections at both Pillar Point and Oyster Point marinas as the district contemplates a move from South San Francisco to an as yet unknown loca-tion on the coast.

The district’s longtime IT consul-tant, The Well Connected Offi ce, pre-sented three proposals that included,

Consultant unplugs from Harbor District

The owner of an information technology consultancy says he’s had enough after getting an ear-ful from those present at the April 1 San Mateo County Har-bor District meeting.

Steve Almes, owner of The Well Connected Offi ce, has done work for the Harbor District since at least 2012. He’s installed servers and fi rewalls for the dis-trict as well as helped with the roll out of WiFi at the docks.

Last week, Commission Chair Sabrina Brennan questioned current charges from Almes and that led several to speak from the audience, each suggesting the district had been overcharged or sold more than it needed.

This week Almes responded by severing ties with the district in an acerbic email that char-acterized public speakers as “goons.”

Meanwhile, Brennan says Almes never delivered some equipment the district pur-chased. Almes has denied that charge.

CCWD considers hefty rate increases

WATER COST COULD RISE MORE THAN 25 PERCENT

By Clay Lambert[ [email protected] ]

If you think you are paying too much for water now, brace yourself. The Coastside Coun-ty Water District board of direc-tors is discussing double-digit increases for customers in and around Half Moon Bay and those increases could go into effect this summer.

At a budget workshop on March 31, district directors heard dire warnings about the fi nancial pressures at work on all California water provid-ers. The state is in the midst of a four-year drought that has spawned statewide emergen-cy measures and garnered na-

tional headlines.State residents are being

asked to drastically curtail their usage. Residential customers — a group that has already cut water use 11 percent on the coast — will be asked to cut-back further this year. Gov. Jer-ry Brown has ordered the State Water Quality Control Board to fi nd a way to conserve another 25 percent this year. Those rec-ommendations are still forth-coming and water managers are waiting on pins and nee-dles.

One sometimes forgot-ten consequence of conserva-tion is that the revenue stream for local water districts dries up as well as the landscape. Drought-related reductions in use are expected to drive up the unit cost of water through-out the Bay Area, including for water supplied to the CCWD by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Local water managers expect the cost of that regional water source to spike 31 percent in the coming weeks.

Water managers here and elsewhere explain that their infrastructure needs are not

Local water agencies await direction

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, WATER PROJECTS ONGOING AT

COASTSIDE FACILITIESBy Julia Reis

[ [email protected] ]

Agencies that oversee Coastside parks and camp-grounds say they’re doing all they can to ensure as little public inconvenience as possible as a result of the drought.

That means opening Memorial Park for the start of camping season, but with only half of its campsites available for use. Still, it’s an improvement from last

summer, when San Mateo County Parks was forced to close all of Loma Mar’s campsites for the remain-der of the camping season in June. The closure was

caused by algae growth resulting from the low level of Pescadero Creek that clogged the intake hose for the park’s water system. That also led to the closure of several youth campsites at the adjacent Sam Mc-Donald Park.

In recent months, County Parks has undertaken efforts to improve water storage and treatment at Memorial Park, as well as manage vegetation for fi re

STATE BOARD TO ADOPT NEW RESTRICTIONS IN MAY

By Julia Reis [ [email protected] ]

Coastside water agencies are awaiting word from the State Water Resources Control Board, which is mulling strict new water rules.

The waiting game began on April 1, when Gov. Jerry Brown issued an executive order requiring the

state water board to impose restric-tions that achieve a statewide 25 per-cent reduction in potable urban wa-

ter use through February 2016. The executive order instructs the board to make those new restrictions based on per capita water use, requiring more con-servation from areas with higher water consump-tion. The language of the forthcoming mandate is not yet known. The water board is scheduled to re-lease a draft of the new restrictions on April 17 before a fi nal vote in early May.

“We will have to wait for the State Water Resourc-

“We don’t want to over-promise and under-deliver. We’re doing everything we can to keep the campground open.”

— Marlene Finley, San Mateo County Parks director

DemographicsHalf Moon Bay is in the unique position of being located within the proximity of both very rural and very urban environ-ments. More than 70% of residents own their home and more than 90% have been in the same home for at least 1 year. The population has grown at a steady rate and the most recent official population data puts Half Moon Bay at over 12,000 residents. Many residents choose the area because of the open space that surrounds the city.
