A helicopter navigates through billowing smoke to drop water on the CZU August Lightning Complex fires on Aug. 19. The fires were sparked by lightning on Aug. 16 and continue to burn in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This week, however, fire officials report progress beating back flames that have forced the evacuation of thousands of residents in two counties.

Fire tears across mountains HISTORIC BLAZE REQUIRES EVACUATIONS

COMMUNITY RALLIES FOR ITS OWN AMID NEW CRISIS

By Sarah Wright

Lightning-sparked fires burned all week in the Santa Cruz Mountains, at times coming threateningly close to the South Coast communities of Loma Mar, La Honda and Pescadero. But, on Tuesday, there was relief: The central areas of each community remained safe. CalFire reported Tuesday that the CZU August Lightning Complex had burned more than 78,000 acres and cost the life of one Santa Cruz County resident. Most of the South Coast below Highway 84 remained evacuated, with 77,000 people in three counties asked to leave their homes. Fire officials were optimistic by Tuesday that they were beginning to gain the upper hand. CalFire officials said the fires that burned in parts of two counties were 17 percent contained. Officials reported 330 structures destroyed and another 32 damaged by the fire. Only 11 structures had been destroyed in San Mateo County. More than 1,600 personnel were assigned to firefighting efforts across the fire zone. Lightning strikes associated with dry thunderstorms on Aug. 16 and 17 ignited hundreds of fires in Northern California. While area residents were awestruck by the electricity in the night sky, some strikes inevitably hit remote, forested areas. High up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the sparks grew into infernos where fire hadn’t swept through the coastal undergrowth in decades. By the afternoon of Aug. 18, the disparate fires had formed large conflagrations that began merging and spreading. Soon, people living near Loma Mar,

Dearborn Park, Butano Canyon and Pescadero Creek Park were asked to evacuate. Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency due to large fires burning statewide. For three days, the CZU wildfire was completely uncontained as northerly winds pushed the flames south, deeper into Santa Cruz County. But San Mateo County residents could see flames creeping their direction, too, as the fire navigated the deep, dry canyons that many rural residents call home. CalFire officials said their efforts were hampered by a lack of resources. “We have no new resources to put on the line today,” said Jonathan Cox, division chief for CalFire, on Aug. 19. An evacuation center was established at Pescadero High School, where the American Red Cross, local nonprofit Puente de la Costa Sur, the Coastside Community Emergency Response Team and other volunteers answered questions and distributed hotel vouchers to evacuees in need of shelter. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, communal shelter was not an option, so many residents spent cold nights in their cars awaiting redirection. By Aug. 19, the center was moved to Half Moon Bay High School due to warnings that Pescadero would have to evacuate soon. Meanwhile, local groups, including the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA and the San Mateo County Large Animal Evacuation Group worked day and night to get animals out of evacuation zones safely.

When wildfires threatened the Coastside, local businesses, residents and staff from local agencies did not hesitate to get to work to help however they could. Residents organized on social media to provide donations to nonprofits like Puente de la Costa Sur and to local businesses opening their kitchens to evacuees and firefighters. Some set up donation hubs to accept supplies so evacuation centers could remain clear.

Restaurants in Half Moon Bay including The Barn, Sacrilege Brewing and Dad’s Luncheonette all provided free meals to evacuees or first responders. Meanwhile, members of the Half Moon Bay Lions Club were firing up their grill last week to make “a fullon chicken meal,” which was then delivered, individually packaged, by the American Red Cross to evacuees staying in the Comfort Inn, a club See COMMUNITYa 6A

SOUTH COAST SCHOOLS TO RESTART AFTER TOUGH BEGINNING By Sarah Wright

Superintendent Amy Wooliever has canceled all classes for La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District students for the remainder of the week due to evacuation orders for most of the South Coast. Early last week, as the CZU August Lightning Complex fire tore through the Santa Cruz Mountains, the communities of Loma Mar, La Honda and Pescadero were ordered to evacuate. Thursday and Friday, remote school for the South Coast district went dark as

families relocated. Wooliever said she gathered LHPUSD staff on Friday to determine whether teachers were able to get online and to better understand their status in the middle of the crisis. Monday morning, staff met with students to do the same, and made the call midday to cancel the rest of the week. Wooliever said attendance was fairly high at Monday’s meeting, but connectivity and acSee SCHOOLSa 6A

Unemployment improves, a little

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Susy Castoria

If you are looking for good news — however minor — you’ve come to the right place. California’s unemployment rate is down, albeit from historic highs. State officials say the unemployment rate dipped to 13.3 percent in July as employers added 140,000 jobs. That is still above the 12.3 percent unemployment recorded at the height of the 2009 Great Recession. State labor officials say maintaining a social safety net and continuing to take personal responsibility for curbing the spread of COVID-19 are crucial to maintaining the recovery.

A report this week on the San Mateo County Strong campaign to raise money for nonprofits in the midst of the pandemic shows that dozens of local agencies are struggling to make ends meet. The county report says 135 nonprofits were surveyed and that 87 percent of them are “anticipating cash flow issues.” More than 9 in 10 have already cut services and twothirds have canceled regular fundraising events. The fund launched on March 24 in the wake of shelter-at-home orders meant to slow the spread of COVID-19. Coastside Hope received $46,185 in Phase 1 grants from the campaign. Puente received $24,404. Abundant Grace Coastside Worker and Coastside Adult Day Health Center each received $15,000 in the next phase of grants while Ayudando Latinos A Soñar took in $20,000, and the Boys and Girls Club of the Coastside received $10,000.

Coastside Puente bridges gap in emergency COAST residents struggle SOUTH NONPROFIT LEADS FIRE to get accurate RELIEF information By Sarah Wright

TOO MANY MAPS, TOO MANY RUMORS By Sarah Wright

At 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 19, as wildfires were spreading toward South Coast neighborhoods and rumors swirled about incoming evacuation orders, Puente de la Costa Sur staff packed up the Pescadero High School evacuation center and headed north to establish a new home base at Half Moon Bay High School. But news of the changed location didn’t run through official channels until hours later, when CalFire tweeted an incident report, then corrected it with the correct shelter location. It wasn’t the only information mishap last week. As the CZU August Lightning Complex fire threatened the South Coast, getting the facts wasn’t always easy. The mobile interface for the Zonehaven website, to which San Mateo County’s emergency alerts were pointing residents for critical evacuation information, broke down under overwhelming traffic. Then, for a few hours on Aug. 19, the CalFire website went down too. No one knew which map to turn to get the most accurate view of the spread of the fire. And for residents with homes inside the fire’s range, knowing if the flames had reached their property was nearly impossible for a time. During the crisis, social media was at the center of communications, with CalFire and San Mateo County using Twitter to publish press releases and give updates when information became available. But even those communications failed at times. CalFire’s twice-daily press briefings were sometimes barely audible through livestreams and other times not carried at all. In at least one instance, officials had to issue corrections to evacuation orders that mislabeled neighborhoods. CalFire Public Information Officer Cecile Juliette said the same resource shortages plaguing the firefight affected her office. Communications teams were spread thin across the fire areas throughout the state. And at the start of the fires, as evacuation warnings and orders were issued by the hour, CalFire communications staff was working around the clock just to stay on top of each change. “It was a race to get out information,” Juliette said. Various Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts cropped up as the fire spread, with neighbors sharing any snippet of news they could get — stills taken from camera feeds outside South Coast homes, texts from neighbors and friends still inside evacuation zones, and reports pulled from press briefings or conversations with first responders. On the South Coast, many residents live without consistent access to the internet or cell service. On the night of Aug. 18, when Whitehouse Canyon residents were ordered to evacuate just before midnight, some only got the message by chance, barely getting out in time because of neighbors’ calls. Others didn’t wait for an evacuation order, relying instead on their network of neighbors to tell each other when it was time. On Aug. 19, many camped along Highway 1, watching the flames move through their canyon. “We’re waiting for answers,” one resident said. For others, the problem

was too much information and not enough confirmation. Lisa Mateja and her kids, Sophie and Henry, were at Pescadero High School after evacuating their Butano Canyon home on Aug. 19. They said, at the start of the crisis, the neighborhood rumor mill was overwhelming as they waited for news on the status of their neighborhood. Instead, they were paying attention to news from local agencies like San Mateo County. “I think the information is fast-changing,” Mateja said. “We’ve been trying to focus on sources that are more reliable.” It’s this problem that led La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District Superintendent Amy Wooliever to leave the communicating about resources and the fire itself to other groups, like Puente, so as not to spread any misinformation or create any confusion. “There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen,” Wooliever said. Puente Executive Director Rita Mancera said communication was by far the biggest challenge her group has faced during their wildfire response. Mancera said that while technology can help accelerate a response and information dissemination, it can also create confusion and even panic. “Sometimes our work is to calm rumors down,” Mancera said The Review had its own struggle with misinformation. For a time, the newspaper mistakenly reported Pescadero and La Honda had been ordered to evacuate when it was still under evacuation warning. At La Honda’s Station 37, Community Emergency Response Team volunteers worked to respond to an inundation of questions from residents calling, emailing and stopping by to confirm reports from the newspaper and elsewhere. As the days wore on, county and CalFire communications improved dramatically, with American Sign Language interpretation at press briefings and Spanish-language videos and news releases now hitting social media. The Zonehaven website pivoted to a new version that could handle more traffic, and Juliette said that, as her team began to fall into a rhythm, they were better able to respond to questions and concerns. Although some communication did break down over the course of the firefight, Zonehaven CEO Charlie Crocker said coordination among counties and agencies has improved tremendously. Although the Zonehaven map experienced overload issues when too many residents tried to access its beta mobile site, the company’s main role — to create evacuation zones with borders and names that are consistent across county jurisdictions — succeeded. And Crocker said his team is working to make operations even more smooth in the future by closing time gaps and creating a singular dataset to reduce confusion. Long term, Crocker said, they’re working on rolling out a “know your zone” campaign to aid evacuations even further. “We’re only getting better at this,” Crocker said. Juliette agreed that as fires become more common in the area, residents, fire response teams and local agencies will all become more unified in their messaging. “This is the first big fire in our unit, probably ever, and this is something we may face more in the coming years,” Juliette said. “We all need to get our game pretty buttoned up.” r

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And where there’s fire, there is Puente de la Costa Sur. Puente is the South Coast nonprofit that’s been helping to lead the relief efforts after the CZU August Lightning Complex fire began burning outside of Loma Mar, staffing and organizing the evacuation center and gearing up to support evacuees in the long term, well after the wildfire crisis is over. Although it may come as a surprise that a local nonprofit, as opposed to local government, would head important aspects of emergency relief efforts, Puente Executive Director Rita Mancera said the organization has been ready for this day. Puente staff receive extensive emergency response, mental health, shelter and disaster

training. “We actually have done a lot of work on emergency preparedness,” Mancera said. “But this one is much bigger than anything we could have imagined.” If you ask a local what Puente does, the answer is usually “everything.” The nonprofit is the core agency serving South Coast residents with programs that are community-led and designed to meet the needs of the greater Pescadero area. During the COVID-19 pandemic,

the group has been working to provide meals, school supplies and financial relief to families affected by the crisis who weren’t otherwise able to access aid. At the head of it all is Mancera, who has been serving as Puente’s executive director for the past four years after joining Puente in 2006. Mancera said she never expected her tenure to include such a cocktail of crises. “I’ve done my lifetime of emergencies,” Mancera said. Working alongside Mancera

and her team is the San Mateo County Human Services Agency, the American Red Cross and two other local nonprofits, Coastside Hope and Ayudando Latinos a Soñar. Coastside Hope Executive Director Judith Guerrero said when she got the call from Mancera saying that the evacuation center was moving to Half Moon Bay and more help was needed on the ground, she didn’t blink an eye. “I didn't hesitate, not only because it's Rita, but because it's our neighbors, and we want to be part of the solution providing relief,” Guerrero said. Guerrero sees her organization’s role during this crisis as supporting Puente and Rita anywhere help is needed, filling in the gaps. She said the fact that local nonprofits are at the head of emergency response helps residents feel safe during a traumatic event. “I can’t imagine a knock on the door, a strange face,” Guerrero said. “… It provides reassurance that you’re going to be OK, and says, ‘You needed to leave your home, but we’re here for you.’” r

Grand jury stresses need for better emergency communications from county 1 IN 10 COUNTY RESIDENTS GETS ALERTS

but fewer than 7 percent of residents in unincorporated areas have done so. The grand jury report suggests two possible explanations for the county’s low enrollment: residents must “opt in” to the alert system, and the alerts are currently only sent in English and Spanish in spite of San Mateo County’s diverse language portfolio. In 2018, the California Legislature recognized the limitation of an optin enrollment program for emergency alerts. Counties in California were given access to the customer records of public utilities for the purpose of enrolling them into these emergency alert systems, as long as residents had the ability to “opt out,” the report reads. In light of this legislation, San Mateo County has taken steps toward increasing enrollment. The county was able to access E-911 data, landline phone numbers obtained from White

By Kara Glenwright

A San Mateo County civil grand jury reported on Monday that only 1 in 10 county residents has signed up for emergency text alerts and suggests that isn’t good enough. The report came amid a pandemic and raging fires, when communication between authorities and the community is paramount. Without a high subscription rate for county Office of Emergency Services alerts, many residents are left uninformed and vulnerable to emergencies like wildfires, the grand jury notes. Thirty-eight percent of Half Moon Bay residents have opted into the text alerts,

Pages and Yellow Pages telephone records to enroll a total of 46 percent of the county’s population in the SMC Alerts system. Santa Clara County used the same information to enroll 51 percent of its population. The county also attempted to access public utility and mobile phone carrier data. However, officials decided not to use any public utility data to augment the database because of the presence of multifamily dwellings and apartments where a landlord living outside of the county may be the utility contact. Additionally, mobile phone carriers refused to cooperate with the county, leaving them without access to mobile phone data. While roadblocks to further enrollment exist, other counties have found ways to bypass these. Sonoma County was able to enroll more than 100,000 residents using water utility data, and it added another 300,000 residents by purchasing customer re-

cords from AT&T and Frontier Communications. It is also currently negotiating with PG&E to access those customer records “to achieve what they hope will be 90 percent-plus coverage of the residents of their county,” according to the report. The grand jury said it didn’t know why San Mateo County has chosen not to pursue negotiations with mobile phone carriers or seek data from public utility records to increase emergency alert enrollment when nearby counties have done so. The report also highlights the Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act, which requires local agencies to translate documents explaining available services for non-English-speaking people if they make up more than 5 percent of the agency’s population. It also mandates that local agencies employ a “sufficient number of qualified bilingual staff in public contact positions.”

Black Lives Matter mural planned for Half Moon Bay LEGAL CONCERNS OVERCOME By Vanessa Ochavillo

At the height of the protests against police killings of Black people, metropolitan cities, from Washington, D.C., to New York City, decided to make a statement. They painted “Black Lives Matter” on major thoroughfares. Bay Area cities followed suit. Now, add Half Moon Bay to

that list. A proposal to paint a Black Lives Matter mural on city property near City Hall received unanimous approval at last week’s City Council meeting. The move marks the latest in a wave of city governments publicly aligning themselves with the Black Lives Matter movement, which saw an upswell of support this summer after the killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, two in a spate of Black deaths at the hands of police.

The City Council embraced the mural as an opportunity to express its values once legal concerns about partisanship were cleared by Catherine Engberg, the city’s attorney. Engberg found that nearby cities, like San Mateo, Palo Alto and Petaluma, evoked the same doctrine on government speech that allows governments to express their views on government property. r

Currently, SMC Emergency Alerts and information for enrollment are only available in English and Spanish. More than 5 percent of local residents speak Chinese and Tagalog at home, and yet there are currently no plans to translate materials or alerts into either of those languages, according to the report. “Even if not technically required by the Act, OES could achieve higher enrolled SMC numbers by meeting their residents’ language needs,” the report notes. The report concludes by recommending the Office of Emergency Services publish percentages of SMC Alert enrollment data by city and town on their website. It also recommends it further investigate access to mobile phone carrier data and translate enrollment materials and alerts into all languages spoken by more than 5 percent of the population. r

Table of Plenty FOUNDED 2012 The TABLE of PLENTY (TOP) is a weekly supper for struggling families, seniors,

homeless and hungry. For eight years, our TOP all-volunteer team has prepared and served a delicious, healthy meal with all the trimmings on Thursday evenings. However, the COVID-19 Pandemic demanded rapid thinking, instant change, new partner-collaborations with benefits for all. Overnight, TOP went from a weekly sit-down community supper with flowers and live music to reinventing how to deliver excellence in new ways: Week 1-TAKE-HOME, Week 2-TAKE-OUT, Week 3-PERSONAL HOME DELIVERY where you are... This was made possible through the close collaboration with Coastside Hope, Abundant Grace, Senior Coastsiders, and other HMB community partners. TOP’s founding director, Sr. Jeanette Braun, says it best: “Our TOP volunteers have always strived to reflect “loving one another” in our work. In crisis, we have all been blessed to prove how powerful love is in reinventing and sustaining the communities we serve.

How to help dreds of livestock were transported from the South Coast to safety among generous residents and farms willing to accept and care for them. The encroaching fire seemed most threatening on Aug. 18 and 19, when a series of maps showed flames moving down the Butano hills and inching toward Loma Mar, and residents of La Honda and Pescadero were ordered out. By Friday, some resources from the state arrived to battle the wildfire, but new concerns emerged. A Red Flag Warning suggested fresh lightning over the coming weekend, adding to anxieties that shifting weather and a lack of firefighting resources could spread the wildfire and make it more deadly. Coastside residents also worried that an influx of weekend visitors could clog escape routes should the fire move north toward Half Moon Bay. Coastside leaders asked tourists to stay away and closed some beaches, but on Saturday their warnings went largely unheeded. Fortunately, the expected lightning storms did not materialize over the weekend, and by Saturday evening the fire was 8 percent contained.

A fire crew from Eureka kept an eye on spot fires along Highway 1.

On Sunday, Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office reported the first death from the fire, a 73-year-old resident found fleeing the fire at the end of Last Chance Road. “This is very dark,” Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Chris Clark said. “I think this is one of the darkest periods we’ve been in in this fire.” Soon, the focus turned to protecting property in evacuated areas, mostly in Santa Cruz County, and continuing to encourage

residents to stay out of the way. Come Monday, the tone of the reports shifted to relief and cautious optimism, as containment increased with greater resources and favorable weather. “Over the last 48 hours we’ve had a lot of small wins and they are starting to add up to big wins,” CalFire Assistant Chief Billy See said on Monday. “Mother Nature’s helped us quite a bit.” On Tuesday, progress re-

member said. Local businesses like the Loma Mar Store have been stepping in to help as well. Store owners Jeff and Kate Haas initially went into Pescadero when it seemed the fire was getting dangerously close, but were soon keeping the store doors open “in a fash-

ion,” for a steady flow of first responders, Kate Haas said. “Loma Mar doesn’t even have a stop sign. We’re really the only place here,” she said. “The guys have been gathering here.” Haas referenced first responders, including volunteer firefighters from La Honda and Kings Mountain, as well as CalFire crews and others. Haas said the store has been operating as a sort of collec-

tion point for local businesses to donate food. “Jeff and I are just pouring coffee,” Haas said, “and trying to share this bounty that people keep generously providing to our firefighters.” She mentioned contributions by a large number of local businesses: Downtown Local, Norm’s Market, Duarte’s Tavern, Mercado y Taqueria de Amigos, Wildflower Farms, Simms Organics, TomKat Ranch, Root Down Farm and more. Anyone who wants to contribute can purchase a gift card to the store, which Haas said can then be credited toward providing food and coffee from the store to first responders. Alice’s Restaurant

also accepted donations toward first-responder meals. “The support has just been amazing. It’s a happy story here right now,” Haas said. But she added, “There’s a cautious happiness. We really thought we were saying goodbye to the store.” San Mateo County Parks and San Mateo Resource Conservation District staff found themselves already on site, working to rebuild a bridge on Old Haul Road, when the fire broke out and moved toward that same road. Old Haul Road marked the northern boundary of the fire and presented a critical opportunity to hold the line. Together with CalFire, the

County Parks and RCD staff were able to repurpose the construction crew to instead help fight the fire. The crew were all certified CalFire interagency emergency equipment operators and already had the right equipment on site. Additionally, the crew was experienced in working on fires and “they were more than willing to be flexible and help,” read an email from San Mateo Resource Conservation District Executive Director Kellyx Nelson. “San Mateo County Parks staff has been working tirelessly throughout the fire in their Pescadero parks,” Kellyx wrote. In another email, Sara Polgar, project manager for the

Dark Gulch project, detailed the specific steps crews were taking to help fight the fire. On Aug. 18, Polgar said, the RCD crew worked all day to give CalFire access to the north side of the fire by cutting a road from Old Haul Road to Butano Ridge Fire Road. CalFire requested they evacuate later that day. The crew returned on Thursday with more equipment to help CalFire with further access and vegetation management work. “I’ve focused on the project site and what’s going on in the area, but as you can imagine this is just one tiny piece of the events of the past week,” Polgar wrote in the email. r

cess issues persisted. With students, teachers and staff scattered among hotels and staying with family outside of the area after being forced to evacuate — some with just a moment’s notice — many don’t have the school materials they need to complete remote learning, Wooliever said. And the trauma, stress and confusion of the evacuation doesn’t

make for productive learning. “It just didn't seem very conducive to learning,” Wooliever said. “There is lots of anxiety. It’s better to just wait until people are more settled and resume at that point.” LHPUSD had just begun the school year Aug. 14 and was set to complete its first week of “induction,” introducing students and teachers to the technology and resources they’d need to have a successful remote learn-

McPhetridge said he worked with the San Mateo County Human Services Agency and the city of Half Moon Bay to honor the district’s agreement with the American Red Cross to activate in case of an emergency. Although the high school gym isn’t currently being used to house displaced residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the campus is an important check-in point for families to get connected with aid. “That’s just one of the things we do as school districts during a crisis, is we open up,” McPhetridge said Evacuations aren’t the only thing the two districts have had to face this week: McPhetridge said Hatch Elementary School lost power briefly on Monday, and videoconferencing platform Zoom reported major outages. “It’s like juggling balls and spinning plates,” McPhetridge said.

e have a new tourism campaign for the San Mateo County coast. It goes like this: Whatever you do, don’t come to the coast! We have fires and deadly virus! The [ e d i t o r i a l ] traffic is crazy! Evacuees are flooding in from the south! We’ve closed the beaches but will nonetheless charge you to park! Restaurants and bars are closed! Do. Not. Come!

It’s guaranteed to bring in waves of tourists. How do we know? We were here last weekend. Americans don’t like to be told what to do. That fact is only somewhat less sacrosanct than its unhappy corollary: Ameri-

cans are often oblivious. Put those two facts together and you have waves of visitors spilling over hills literally on fire toward a perceived oasis that is really in the midst of a killer pandemic. Welcome to the Coastside, everyone. For decades, Half Moon Bay promoters have fought and clawed to win favor among visitors. The Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce and Visitors’ Bureau worried over signs pointing toward downtown and planted medians on the highways and promoted coupon deals in hopes of creating a more vibrant and profitable tourist center. Perhaps they should have tried to keep people away instead. It turns out to work like a charm. Last week, as a historic fire licked at the southern edges of San Mateo County, the mayor, Chamber officials, restaurant

owners and seemingly everyone else with a Coastside address pleaded with people to stay over the hill. The feeling was that two deadly crises was enough for one weekend. Half Moon Bay High School was filled with evacuees as were area hotels and RV lots. Public safety officials urged everyone to stay off the roads so that firefighters could get to the front lines. Alas, we were talking to ourselves. It’s as if everyone over there suddenly lost their social media accounts, turned off their televisions and threw their newspapers in the recycling bin. No one was listening. Perhaps most disturbing, by and large these weren’t bumpkins from some backward red state. No, our problem has been our Bay Area neighbors — the same people who claim an affinity for the coast and a brotherhood with people a short drive from their own homes. Our

problem is people who should know better than to pack up their kids and head to within 20 miles of a historic fire when asked not to do so. On the coast, there is growing resentment against our day-tripping neighbors to the north and east. We are increasingly aware that they don’t do much for the economy. They don’t pay the transient occupancy tax at area hotels, they eat fewer meals at local restaurants, they seek fewer experiences like surf lessons and trail rides. All Coastsiders get from day-trippers is clogged roads and perhaps a case of COVID-19. Fixing the problem may be impossible. The city of Half Moon Bay has tried to slow the tide of visitors, but frankly some mixed messaging hasn’t helped. The city closed Poplar Beach but allowed visitors to pay to park there. It urged folks to stay away

City leaders scuttled fixes like Foothill Boulevard Dear Editor: It is with sad bemusement that I read Chris Voisard’s letter to the editor last week pleading for a connector road to pick up subdivision and high school traffic, delivering it straight to Highway 92. What a great idea! Well, the traffic planners saw this over 35 years ago. The Circulation Element of the Half Moon Bay General Plan, approved July 7, 1992, had a proposed road called Foothill Boulevard. It began at Highway 92, across from the Hilltop Store, and ran north, behind the high school to Young Avenue and potentially beyond. This feeder road was to allow traffic to bypass the Main StreetHighway 92 quagmire providing the proverbial “back road” of which Voisard speaks. City Council of the late 1990s had in mind stopping growth, both then and into the future, and Foothill was criticized as serving future subdivisions, not existing residents. The mantra became “stop all infrastructure improvements.” After all, if every proposal runs up against the “too much traffic” argument (which they all do), that will stop growth. Further, the California Coastal Commission has limited the number of water connections allowed on the Coastside based on the poor traffic rating of our roads, so “don’t improve the roads” seemed to rhyme with “stop growth.” The Foothill Boulevard plan was killed in multiple ways. Here are a few: 1) The residential development now being completed above Terrace, Highland and Silver avenues was shifted into the Foothill right of way to block any possibility of a roadway; 2) a purported “wetland” was discovered on that hillside so no road-

way can go anywhere near that; and 3) the retaining wall built along Highway 92, across from Spanishtown, was designed in conflict with Caltrans specifications for turning, thus preventing a right turn lane onto Foothill. In these ways, the bypass road was killed; an extension from Highway 92 to Stone Pine Road, also as a feeder-connector, was also deleted. In the summer of 1998, Councilman Dennis Coleman said “building more highways does not solve traffic congestion.” But really, this was a feeder road, needed then and needed now, and it would have helped. The commute snarl at Highway 92 and Main Street is the direct result. The crew that caused it was posing in environmentalist gear at the time, but I don’t see them standing at the side of Highway 1 each day, taking credit for the mess they made while watching the pointless waste of fuel and time caused by this traffic jam. For some details, search Half Moon Bay Review archives from mid-1990s for about 10 years. The Review editorial staff came out against Foothill in the summer of 1998. Chad Hooker Half Moon Bay

Petition Congress for help with fire Dear Editor: I’ve recently drafted a petition to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Sen. Kamala Harris and Secretary David Bernhardt of the U.S. Department of Interior requesting more resources and support for our firefighting crews. As Gov. Newsom said in his press conference on Friday, the additional immediate resources we have gotten are helping, but it is still not enough. I wanted to provide our small communities with a collective voice to ampli-

but opened a new outdoor eating area on Kelly Avenue at the very same time. (To be fair, the theory was the outdoor area could prove useful for evacuees with nowhere else to eat.) Meanwhile, the California Coastal Act assures beach access for all, virtually all the time. A tangle of local, state and federal agencies are rarely on the same page when it comes to regulating coastal assets. And it’s simply difficult to stop the flood of tourists after decades of extoling the virtues of local attractions. Half Moon Bay is known across the region as a great place to escape the heat. And however troubled the city is now, it beats the hellscape of places like Livermore that were 20 degrees hotter with far worse air quality. So, come on in, everyone. The water is increasingly warm. — Clay Lambert

fy our need for help. After reading articles from the last few years, we’ve been severely underresourced for years. This needs to change. You may find the petition and information references here: http://chng. it/7xP7ZSRSJW. I’m writing in the hope you will share this petition with our community. Patricia Lauritzen Moss Beach

District voting can prove beneficial Dear Editor: The new district voting system does indeed have the potential to help Latinx candidates get elected, and hence give Half Moon Bay a City Council that looks a lot more like its voters. (See Review editorial, Aug. 12.) As you note, 30 percent of Half Moon Bay residents are Latino or Latina, so at least one of the City Council members really ought to be as well. However, the district boundaries have been drawn such that they “crack” the Hispanic vote across the four districts, leaving none of those districts with a Hispanic majority. The records show that the city did correctly follow state law and Supreme Court precedent in drawing the district boundaries, with the result that the need to avoid cracking the Hispanic vote was not specifically (and could not have been) taken into account. It seems it was just too difficult to draw a reasonable map that included one district with a Hispanic majority, given the pattern of housing occupation in the city. However, this is the very nature of the systemic racism that you rightly draw attention to in your article. If our governments are not, or are legally prevented from, drawing districts or making policies that are

actively anti-racist, we run the risk of continuing to end up with outcomes that are neither just nor equitable. Fortunately, the voters of City Council District 3 will have a golden opportunity this fall to right this particular wrong, and take a small step toward dismantling systemic racism and making our City Council more representative of our community by voting for Joaquin Jimenez.

Delay in warnings is unacceptable Dear Editor: At 8:59 p.m. on Aug. 19, I received an email from Nextdoor with a link to the updated fire evacuation warning area (from the CalFire information officer). This was the warning posted by CalFire. A day later, I received a text from San Mateo County with

the exact same information, received at 1:20 p.m., accompanied by the special emergency warning tone. How do we rely on the county in an emergency when the info they provide is over 16 hours delayed? How does Nextdoor have this info immediately and the county doesn’t? We live just one canyon north of the updated area and decided we should prepare to evacuate as well. What if it had been updated to immediate evacuation or expanded the area? Would the county have delayed that text by 16 hours? With all we hear about government agencies having emergency preparedness plans, this is very disappointing. If I hadn’t checked email I would not have seen the warning. If things had escalated this could have been devastating. The county text service should be linked to the CalFire information warning system immediately! Helen Paul Half Moon Bay

Rebuild the bridge, better “I’m calling about the suggestion of moving the Coastal Trail inland. I think this is a very bad idea because what it does is create a safety hazard because people would encounter twoway traffic on Medio Street, which is very heavy on the weekend. “Just replace the bridge as soon as possible with an aluminum one.” — Anonymous “My comments are regarding the Coastal Trail bridge. I was here when they replaced the last bridge, which is now failing. That bridge was manufactured in Minnesota, which I believe is in the middle of the United States and they have no saltwater. So, when I read that the new bridge will be made of aluminum and industrial plastic, I am hoping that this time they will take into consideration the elements here on the coast so we don’t have to do a replacement of the bridge in the new future.” — Anonymous

Judy Macias

From volunteering at a children’s shelter in New York City as a young woman, to her years with the Coastside Opportunity Center (now Coastside Hope) and Seton Medical Center, and finally with Sonrisas Dental Health and Village of the Coastside, Judy had a vocation: to help others. Generous with her time, encouragement and mentorship, Judy was known for her energy and vision. Judith Ann Mohr grew up on Long Island. At a time of limited opportunities for women, especially workingclass women, Judy was a striver, always seeking to better herself and expand her horizons. After graduating from high school, she worked at Ted Bates, an advertising agency in Manhattan. She then went to State University of New York at Albany, graduating cum laude with a degree in French and English. Soon after, Judy moved to Paris to work in Ted Bates’ Paris office, where she developed her lifelong love of French language and culture — and saw the Beatles play! Judy met Mois Macias, a teacher of French and Spanish at Woodside High School, in 1965 at a workshop for French teachers at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. They were married the same year. After taking a sabbatical to travel throughout Europe and North Africa, Judy and Mois moved to Half Moon

Bay in 1968 and started a family. Judy spent the next few years earning a master’s degree in counseling from San Francisco State University, often with her two young children in tow. While at SF State she also worked with the children of migrant farmworkers, and did career counseling at College of San Mateo and Cañada College. Judy became the executive director of the Coastside Opportunity Center in 1979; among her many initiatives was the Adopt-A-Family program at Christmas. In 1985, she became director of Community Outreach at Seton Medical Center and Seton Coastside, where she administered the popular Rotacare program for uninsured Coastsiders. Judy’s interest in health care grew, and when she retired in 2005, health and wellness would be central to the next phase of her life. Seeing a need for affordable dental care on the Coastside, Judy helped to found, and later run, Sonrisas Dental Health, a clinic for low-income residents of San Mateo County. After Sonrisas she founded Village of the Coastside, a chapter of The Village Network, a national organization of active older adults committed to aging in place. In 2000, Judy was inducted into the San Mateo County Women’s Hall of Fame. In 2015 she received the Ser-

Donald McNeal

vice Above Self award from the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay. For more than 50 years, Judy Macias tirelessly served the community she loved. She was a force of nature, full of youthful energy and infectious enthusiasm, always making new friends and connections, always networking and bringing people together, always eager to learn and grow, and forever curious and interested in the world. At her premature death from cancer, she left behind a long list of books she wanted to read, films she wanted to see, and places she wanted to visit. She made and sustained decades-long friendships with people from every phase of her life. Before COVID19, she was a regular at the gym in Princeton, doing Pilates and weightlifting. She was a living example of how to age well, gracefully, and stylishly. Words can’t express how much her family will miss her purpose, vitality, laughter, joy, drive, love, warmth, wisdom, counsel and encouragement. We are a ship without its captain and we will miss her forever. Judy is survived by her husband, Mois; son Daniel; daughter Rachel; and sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and Jacob Perea. Anyone wishing to donate in Judy’s memory can do so to Sonrisas Dental Health or Village of the Coastside.

Donald McNeal passed away on July 31, 2020, after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his brotherin-law John Coppolo (Judy, de-ceased), and nieces Catherine Rossetto (Chris) and Jennifer Stetson (Dave). He is also survived by his exwife and good friend, Patricia Roma, and her nieces, Ursula Roma and Axie Roma, nephews Chip Roma and Gian Roma, and grandnephew Paolo Roma. Don was born in San Francisco, Calif., in 1948 and graduated from Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif., where he played both varsity football and baseball. After graduating high school in 1966, he enlisted in the army, and was sent to Vietnam for four years, where he worked as an air traffic controller for army helicopters. After receiving an honorable discharge, he applied to be an air traffic controller at the San Francisco International Airport. Despite receiving excellent marks on the qualifying tests, he decided to retract his application as the unions started changing in

California. He then took up construction work, building houses, cabins and other beautiful structures with impeccable precision. When Ken Coverdale of Blue Sky Designs discovered his talent, he offered Don a job with that company doing design and construction work along the Pacific Coast. Don also started his own business, Pacific Patio, in Half Moon Bay, Calif., where he constructed patio furniture, such as Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, swings, planter boxes and a variety of other furniture. His products featured recycled redwood boards that he salvaged from dismantled water towers throughout Northern California. His customers found his creations so aesthetically pleasing that they often resorted to using his outdoor furniture indoors! Don, also known as Stoney, was a quiet, intelligent and reserved man, with a quick wit, and a dry sense of humor. He enjoyed hiking and skiing, and loved visiting Yosemite and oth-

er parks. For several years, he played on a coed softball team sponsored by the Moss Beach Distillery, and later on another one sponsored by Touchatt Trucking. Don spent his retirement years living independently in the small town of Arnold, in the foothills of Northern California, where he came to know and love the locals and the area’s quiet, slow-paced life. He enjoyed his weekly trips to town to run errands, and to people watch. At home, he enjoyed reading about and researching new woodworking projects and techniques, or watching old Western and classic films, or the occasional San Francisco 49ers game. Don McNeal was a craftsman who lived his life on his own terms. Though somewhat of an introvert, he had a small circle of friends whom he truly loved and allowed into his heart. The world lost a kind and good man when Don departed. A service will be held in Half Moon Bay in 2021, and his remains will be buried near Arnold after the service.

City pilots outdoor dining on Kelly Avenue TIMING MIGHT NOT BE IDEAL

From the beginning, the city was careful about opening outdoor dining and street retail, despite encouragement from residents who wanted to ensure local businesses survived, Giedt said. “The love and care citizens have is really amazing,” she said. “But the city wanted to be careful that they didn’t create something that the businesses did not want.” City officials were also cautious after surrounding Bay Area cities closed off side streets

An experiment introducing outdoor dining to downtown Half Moon Bay drew a small crowd among somewhat reduced traffic following fire evacuations and calls to keep away from the coast. The city manager’s office piloted an outdoor seating area from Friday through Sunday to encourage dining and retail months after residents raised the idea as a way to support local businesses financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. But the pilot came on the heels of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire. “When we planned it, we didn’t anticipate having all the chaos happening in Half Moon Bay and the surrounding area,” said Eddie Behle, the city’s recreation coordinator who helped with the plan. “That was reflected in the amount that came.” The city closed a section of Kelly Avenue at Main Street large enough to accommodate 50 people seated at tables arranged 10 feet apart. City staff and local businesses discussed possibly rescheduling the three-day event, but decided to continue as planned, with safe air quality

and main downtown thoroughfares as soon as revised shelterin-place orders allowed outdoor dining, only to see them close down again. So, in late June and early July, city staff issued a survey and began talks with individual businesses, the Downtown Association and the Chamber of Commerce. The results showed that there was “not one collective push from businesses strongly for or against new or additional outdoor space,” said Decker. r

forecast and anticipation that evacuees in nearby Half Moon Bay High School and hotels would want a place to eat, said Krystlyn Giedt, president of the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce and Visitors’ Bureau, which partnered on the pilot. “In that sense, it might be considered a nice thing,” said Giedt, “that people going through an extremely hard

time had the stress taken off by eating food in a place that felt safe.” Reduced activity in downtown complicated the ability of city staff to assess the pilot’s success. “Initially, we planned being able to quantify the success of the event based on the traffic we saw,” Behle said. Early this week, city staff and Giedt walked door-to-door, dis-

tributing feedback forms to businesses. Together, they plan to review the responses and discuss in upcoming meetings whether to attempt a similar program again. “Participation from businesses has informed our approach and will continue to be a guiding light,” said Karen Decker, a senior management analyst who oversees the survey analysis.

20-YEAR CONTRIBUTOR

Magazine provides intimate stories, reflection ‘VYRIS’ SHARES PANDEMIC EXPERIENCES QUIPTIDE

By August Howell

Louie Castoria

OK (to be a) Boomer

he Greatest Generation is a hard act to follow, as the name implies. They beat Hitler and the Great Depression. We Baby Boomers aren’t given a superlative like “next greatest,” “second best,” or even “distant third best.” Based on our generation’s title, we aren’t noteworthy because of anything we’ve done, but only because our parents did us the favor of conceiving us, in the biological sense. I will not elaborate on this selfless act because: Eeeww. They call us a “disillusioned” generation, which sounds like an insult, as in, “So, Boomer, what did your generation do, other than screw everything up?” I take “disillusioned” as a compliment. We gave up our illusions, so are dis-illusioned. By and large, we shed the illusions that “separate but equal” is fair, that race or gender can measure the value of a soul, and that the world’s resources are infinite. Also, in the plus column: rock ’n’ roll, SNL, and Monty Python. Are you a Boomer, either by birth or inclination? Just as Jeff Foxworthy defined the criteria for being a redneck, there are subtle clues whether you are, or should have been, a Boomer: If you get a response, “TMI,” to a text you sent, and you think, “What the heck does Three Mile Island have to do with this,” you might be a Boomer. If you know the middle names of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter, without looking them up online, you might be a Boomer. If you hear the advertising jingle, “I’d like to teach the world to sing” and picture a group of people on a hill, you might be a Boomer. If you think of “avocado” as a color of cookware rather than something to spread on toast, you might be a Boomer. If you see a James Dean movie and think, “He sure looks like James Franco,” you may not be a Boomer. But if you watch a James Franco movie and think, “He sure looks like James Dean,” you might be a Boomer. If you saw a double feature movie at a drive-in, you’re probably a Boomer, or were taken there by a Boomer. If, when you hear the 1812 Overture you think of breakfast cereal being shot out of cannons, you might be a Boomer. If you saw the first Apollo moon landing live on TV, you’re almost certainly a Boomer. If you don’t believe it really happened, you are also almost certainly a Boomer. If you still have Disney movies on VHS tapes, it’s quite likely you’re a Boomer, or got them from one. Speaking of tapes, if you don’t know what an eighttrack tape looks like, you’re probably not a Boomer, but don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. If you can remember a world without Count Chocula, you’re a Boomer. Are you a Boomer? Maybe a Pepper? Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too? For those stuck on the middle names, Louie@hmbreview.com reminds the reader: Baines, Milhous, Rudolph, and Earl.

Working late nights from their home in El Granada, GraceAnn Stewart and her daughter Sheridan sought to create a time capsule of the past few months. The goal was simple, yet vast in its scope. Along with editor-in-chief Lani Southern, they published Vyris, a literary magazine that debuted online late last month. With Southern and 12-yearold Sheridan in charge of production and design, Stewart sought to create an assortment of personal stories and works of art that illustrate how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the world on both a small and large scale. Through internet shares and word of mouth, the team received submissions from across the globe. There are 49 pieces listed on the magazine’s table of contents. From a family photo in Australia to a child’s artwork in Ontario, Canada, Vyris contains powerful stories from a wide perspective. From a passionate letter by a local school teacher to the messages of support for essential workers, the content is both humorous, honest and chilling all at once. But perhaps more than anything, it’s relatable. Some of the titles include “Pandemic Train of Thought,” “Hugs Matter,” and “Surviving COVID With My Six-Year-Old.” “We just wanted people to be involved,” GraceAnn Stewart said. “And we loved the variety

of what came in because it really relates to everyone.” The work can be downloaded as a PDF at vyris2020.com. The term “vyris” is an acronym that stands for “vivid young reflections inside souls.” Not every submission directly references the coronavirus pandemic, but all are framed within its context. There are contributions involving landscape photography and surrealist painting. Inclusion was key for this team, and there is a wide age range of contributors. They even held Zoom meetings for

those struggling to articulate their thoughts and emotions on paper. Sheridan Stewart explained that many of the written submissions were from “non-writers” who simply wanted to express themselves. “We sat with some people who told us what they were feeling,” she said. “We wrote it down and together we formed it into something because we wanted everyone to have a chance to write.” While the creators of the literary magazine appreciated all the submissions and

requests for another issue, they’re asking contributors to instead submit content to the Coastal Literary Arts Movement, or CLAM. Sheridan Stewart will be explaining the impact of the magazine at the San Mateo County Board of

Supervisors meeting at 9 a.m. on Sept. 15. “We wanted reflections from everyone, no matter your age,” Sheridan Stewart said. “We wanted future generations to know what it was like living in this time.” r

Joseph Angelini Agency

coach for the Half Moon Bay High School surf team, wants people to see that there is a way to create an environmentally sensitive board that is just as good as, if not better than, the average board. “The Holy Grail for me is getting the materials as ecofriendly as possible without sacrificing on the performance aspect,” Wallace said. As of last week, Wallace has done just that. He shaped his latest model, the “Eco Warrior,” into three lengths so far: 7 feet, 8 inches; 6 feet, 8 inches; and 6 feet, 4 inches. The boards use a combination of materials spanning the Pacific Ocean. The blank, or foam that makes up the board, is algaebased, created in a lab with Arctic Foam and researchers at the University of San Diego. Arctic Foam, based in San Clemente, provides blanks for some of the most well-known surfboard shapers in the world. Wallace believes that eventually these blanks will be under the feet of both top-tier pros and average Joes. Wallace used an all-natural combination of flax-basalt woven fiberglass, which he said can be up to 50 percent stronger and lighter than traditional fiberglass. He sourced the material from an Australian company. The flax, which is common in the textile industry, meshes well with basalt, a type of volcanic rock. The fin boxes are composed of recycled plastic from

a 3D printer, while the fins are bamboo-based. The finishing touch comes in the form of a bio-based resin, which was done by Santa Cruz’s Vince Broglio. “The idea is to bring the best materials, performance and design together in one package that doesn’t leave you concerned about what your footprint on the environment is,” Wallace said. Wallace is a student of history and his boards encompass modern technology and designs while drawing inspiration from the past. The idea for an end-to-end bio-based board began with a trip to Australia and New Zealand several years ago. In Australia, Wallace met one of his shaping icons, 79-year-old George Greenough, a Santa Barbara-raised

shaper working in the 1970s. Wallace also met Dave Rastovich, a professional Australian surfer who was still getting a lot of performance from his own environmentally sourced board over the last five years, a long time in surfboard years. Wallace planned to debut the boards at an annual Boardroom Show in Santa Cruz in May. Like everything else, it was canceled, so Wallace went public with his models. He’s already received some interest in customized longboards and mid-lengths. Wallace is the first to admit he’s not the first, nor will he be the last to conceptualize and build a board with environmentally oriented materials. “It’s not 100 percent,” Wallace said of his design. “But it’s about as eco-friendly as it gets right now.” r

How Prop. 13 gave corporations tax break they didn’t want

n November, Californians will vote on Proposition 15, which aims to plug a giant loophole in the state’s property tax system created more than 40 years ago. The measure would require office buildings, factories and other commercial property to be taxed on what they are actually worth today, not what they were worth when Gerald Ford was president. Here is the story of how some of the state’s wealthiest businesses received a multibillion-dollar windfall that they never wanted. The great California tax revolt of the late 1970s began with a housing market gone crazy. Prices in some markets were jumping by as much as 5 percent per month. The result was a money machine for local governments, raising both local property tax assessments and

people’s tax bills. Typical homeowners were hit with tax hikes of as much as $1,000 dollars per year – four times that in today’s dollars. For the elderly living on fixed incomes, these increases threatened to toss them out of their homes altogether. By mid-1976 local officials across the state faced a fullon rebellion, and they moved swiftly to shift the blame to Sacramento. The state was sitting on a money machine of its own – double digit inflation. The cost-of-living salary increases that workers received to help keep up with rising prices also shoved them into higher and higher tax brackets. By early 1977 the state was sitting on a $2.5 billion budget surplus, which would eventually balloon to more than $7 billion, equal to half the state budget. At the state Capitol, the sum-

mer of 1977 became one long drama of anti-tax protests, and lawmakers trying and failing to respond. Politicians in Sacramento could only agree that none of the tax relief should go to corporations. As efforts to find a compromise crashed and burned, two curmudgeonly anti-tax activists, Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, announced a sweeping initiative that would cut local property taxes by $6 billion, a sixth of all state and local revenues combined. It would put a 1 percent cap on local property tax rates and roll back property assessments to what they had been in 1975. But the measure made no distinction between homes and commercial property, and as a result would dole out a full two-thirds of its tax relief to some of the wealthiest economic interests in the state. It seemed to be more the re-

sult of sloppy drafting than actual intent. In December 1977, Jarvis and Gann turned in 1.2 million signatures, more than double the 500,000 they needed to qualify for the ballot. The initiative became Proposition 13. Corporations warned that the initiative would damage public schools and services, and gave serious cash to the campaign to defeat it. A Southern California Edison executive declared, “Although business stands to receive at least $4 billion of the anticipated $6 billion in property tax relief, we felt it was time for the private sector to stand up for principle and fight this measure as financially unsound.” Nonetheless, in June 1978, on the winds of public anger, Prop. 13 passed by a landslide, 2-to-1. Overnight it slashed the property tax revenues under

schools and local governments by more than half. State lawmakers deployed the state surplus to fund a partial bailout, but severe cuts came nonetheless. In the years since, the loophole for commercial property has only grown. Homes in California do get sold and eventually reassessed to their current value. But for giant business properties, as long as the same corporation holds title, as long as the logo on the door remains the same, the building continues to be taxed based on what it was worth during the last year of the Vietnam War. Today the California Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates that the commercial property loophole costs California between $8 billion and $12 billion per year in lost revenue. Four decades ago, California’s corporate leaders opposed

the windfall given them by Prop. 13. In November they will spend millions to protect it. What California really has are two Prop. 13s, the one that provides predictability to homeowners and the one that gives a tax break worth billions a year to some of the wealthiest businesses in the world. In November, voters will have a chance to finally put that loophole to rest, along with eight track tapes, pet rocks, the flash cube and other relics of the 1970s that we don’t need in 2020.
