Perhaps this recent dog-walking incident on The Mountain could serve
to settle this festering issue for good.
I am appalled at the instantaneous thrust of the “off-leashers” to
grab this issue as their own.
San Mateo County’s leash law says “all dogs are to be on leash and
under control whenever they are off the owner’s property. The leash
must be no more than 6 feet in length.”
I LOVE dogs! Dogs are doing nothing wrong. It is the haughty, above-
the-law-walkers who have virtually closed the mountain to me.
Over the years the “dogs must be on leash” signs have been defaced
or removed by walkers.
There are off-leash parks. Dogs deserve them. Use them. Leash-up

HALF MOON BAY BREWING COMPANY PRESENTS
BREWS AND VIEWS ON FEBRUARY 2
“The Power of Deliberative Polling”
Free public forum welcomes key organizers of the What’s Next California project, James Fishkin and Zabrae Valentine, with moderator Lenny Mendonca, Director of McKinsey and Company
What:
What’s Next California? — the first state-wide deliberative poll in California — was conducted in 2011 in an effort inform citizens about key public issues using television and public opinion polls in a new and constructive way. This poll covered four basic areas: the initiative process, the Legislature, state/local relations and tax/fiscal issues. Thirty proposals were deliberated by a statewide scientific sample of 412 participants and their conclusions offered many surprises. A panel including key organizers of the project — James Fishkin of the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University and Zabrae Valentine of California Forward with moderator Lenny Mendonca Director, McKinsey & Company — will discuss the project process and findings.
Deliberative Polling®, developed by Dr. Fishkin, is a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed.
When:
Thursday, February 2, 2012
6 to 8 p.m.
Where:
Maverick’s Event Center
107 Broadway Ave.
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019
Cost: Admission and snacks are complimentary. Beer, wine, and other beverages will be available for sale at the event. Ten percent of the proceeds from all dinner sales at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for this event will be donated to the Cabrillo Education Foundation.

The Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee will be honored by the Peninsula Arts Council (PAC) with a 2011 Diamond Award at PAC’s 10th Annual Diamond Awards Ceremony, February 2 at historic Kohl Mansion in Burlingame.
Peninsula Arts Council Diamond Awards are presented each year to recognize outstanding contributions made by individual artists, educators, volunteers, foundations, corporations, or by government support to the arts in San Mateo County. This year 55 outstanding nominations were received and jurors had the difficult task of selecting the final award recipients for each category.
The Beautification Committee, the non-profit organization behind the world-famous Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, was chosen as the Honoree in the Government Support Category which recognizes support of the arts, such as public art, arts programming, grants, programming at a local club, hosting arts events, or serving the needs of local artists.
“It’s truly an honor to be chosen by the Peninsula Arts Council for this prestigious award,” said Cameron Palmer, Beautification Committee Chairman. “We are grateful and delighted to be among the honorees and commend all of the nominees for the outstanding contributions they make to the arts in San Mateo County.”
The 2012 Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival runs October 13-14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Main St. between Kelly Avenue and Spruce Streets in historic downtown Half Moon Bay.
I just am blown away by this story. Here is a link to the sfgate's writeup. I cannot believe the idiocy of this park ranger. I don't think retraining is an option, I think firing her should be done. But dog walkers and trail goers beware of the park rangers out around Montara, they seem to lack rational thought.

I suppose a 100 percent privately-funded fireworks display that pays for all costs including the full clean-up and the full police and fire department overtime might be ok, but I kind of doubt that is what is going to happen. Do we really need to stage our own atmospheric-warming spectacle here on the Coastside? What does this accomplish besides burning up resources?

I’ve always been a strong supporter of the fireworks.
We’re not going to be able to reverse consumption of fossil fuels or the warming of the planet by doing away with our little fireworks display. But if we’re going to make it as a community in the next century, we’re going to have to learn a lot about keeping things local and making our own entertainment.
Since the second world war, Americans have gradually lost the ability to amuse ourselves without the assistance of major corporations and their sponsors. Our little Main Street events, film nights, concerts, art walks, cioppino dinners, farmers markets, parades, and fireworks displays are part of what make the Coastside special and are the seeds of a better future for all of us.

“...We’re not going to be able to reverse consumption of fossil fuels or the warming of the planet by doing away with our little fireworks display…”
That statement is true of just about any single action that any single person or any single community might take. So if everybody uses that justification, then nothing is going to change.

I’m uncomfortable with justifying small-scale actions with the rationale of global warming.
HMB used global warming to justify permitting concrete crushing near people’s homes last year. Yeah, sure. I can’t tell you if the effect of shutting down the fireworks would outweigh the extra vehicle miles incurred by trips over the hill. I have no idea what the greenhouse impact of fireworks is. And I can’t install enough compact fluorescents or inflate my tires enough to save the polar bears.
Only big federal actions, perhaps spurred by states like California, give me any hope at all.
But I do believe that if we learn to be a real community and do the things that communities do together now, we’ll drive a lot less and this will be a better place to live when gas costs $24 a gallon.
