This is my opinion based on personal experience with my involvement in youth sports in the HMB/Pescadero area. I cannot speak for the Hispanic community on the coast side but there will be some very sad and shocked parents once the school district eliminates both the counselors and school sports. The loss of school counselors takes away the best direct communication families have with their children's teachers without actually having to try and meet with them. Half Moon Bay High School has had tremendous…

Since the early sixties the mobile home park formerly known as El Granada, now named Pillar Ridge, has been one of the few providers of low cost housing. We that reside here have been blessed with the peace and quiet, as well as the sun and open lands, our community enjoys. The absence of car alarms, rooftop generators and traffic congestion has allowed us to live in peace and harmony.That will all change once this Big Wave plan becomes a reality. We know that there is a great need for Wellness Centers…

We would recommend that all parents take their' teenage sons to see this dramatic, funny and well acted film. The direction was also superb, especially when you consider the delicate subject matter this story deals with.Our…
