Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• San Mateo County Attorney's Office Files Lawsuit to Recover Wages Stolen from Half Moon Bay's Cal Coast Orchids Nursery Workers After KALW Journalist Breaks Story (coastsidebuzz.com) — San Mateo County is suing Cal Coast Orchids and a partner company to recover allegedly stolen wages for nearly 50 workers at a nursery just south of Half Moon Bay on Highway 1. Many Coastside employees reportedly missed entire paychecks during the 2025 holiday rush, straining local families. The county's labor office is urging workers and employers countywide to seek help through its multilingual hotline.
• A new beach park has debuted on the San Mateo County coast. Here's what to know before you go (mv-voice.com) — A brand-new San Mateo County beach park has opened at Tunitas Creek, just south of Half Moon Bay, offering blufftop parking, accessible trails, picnic spots, and sweeping ocean views. Don Horsley County Park also protects sensitive wildlife and honors Indigenous Ohlone history while limiting development in erosion and sea-level rise zones. Visitors should expect no dogs, no camping, and strong surf with no lifeguards on duty.
• Did You Know There is a Caltrans Devil's Slide Bypass ROW Midcoast Alignment Plan, Started in 2003, that Includes a Devil's Slide Trail Plan and MWSD Watershed Protection? (coastsidebuzz.com) — A Midcoast resident pressed county supervisors about long-running plans for Caltrans' Devil's Slide bypass right-of-way, which could become protected parkland and watershed with trails. The discussion highlighted complex rules that must be met before Caltrans can transfer land, including a specific plan and Coastal Commission certification. Background links include a 2016 Half Moon Bay Review history of the Martini Creek Bypass and multiple agency letters.
