Week in Review: Cell Towers and Overseas Operations

Fueled by public concern, the Calabasas Planning Commission is going to wait until an environmental impact report on the proposed construction of two T-Mobile cell towers on Adamsville Road is produced before making its decision on whether to approve them. T-Mobile is also trying to build a monopole on Adamor Road. Planet Hospital is helping residents find cheaper health care in countries such as India and Australia.

MONDAY

We started things off for the week with a resident spotlight on Debbie Gold, who's concerned that cuts to school funding will affect the quality of her children's education.

Then we posted the latest installment of our At the Farmers Market series featuring bluegrass musician Aric Leavitt, who entertains shoppers.

Up next, we had the AYFFL Roundup where the Scorpions, Gators and Cobras were among Sunday's winners.

We wrapped things up for the day with a video on the Calabasas Cheetahs, who started training the day before.

TUESDAY

The day began with a story on Planet Hospital, a Calabasas medical tourism company that arranges for Americans in need of treatment to travel to other countries where surgeries are less expensive.

We also posted a pet of the week featuring Carlos the chipper Chihuahua. 

The last story for the day was a resident spotlight on Sharmet Rivera, who didn't believe she would ever enjoy living away from the city.

WEDNESDAY

Our first story was about a Calabasas High outfielder who worked his way to a starting spot.

We also posted a story on T-Mobile's bid to build a monopole on a public right of way on Adamor Road, in addition to the two it is seeking for Adamsville Road, in an effort to increase its coverage area.

Then came a story on the Leonis Adobe sponsoring an event to educate kids on Chumash life.

We finished the day with a video on local response to Proposition 8 being overturned.

THURSDAY

The first item we posted for that day was a story on Daniel Wilkin of the Calabasas High baseball team and the effect he has had on the team.

Next we posted the final score for the AYFFL roundup with slideshow one and two.

We ended the day with a resident spotlight on Laila Sarkissian, who doesn't like that smoking isn't allowed in Calabasas.

FRIDAY

We started the day with a profile on a Calabasas High shortstop whose presence meant more to the Coyotes than his numbers.

We wrapped up the day with a story on the temporary closure of sushi restaurant Shibuya for remodeling.

SATURDAY

We lead with a story about how T-Mobile's attempt to build two cell towers on Adamsville Road was halted again indefinitely until an environmental impact report can be produced.

We then posted a story on a musical fundraiser for the Calabasas Theatre Company by Ten Cent Juxebox.

The last post was our hiking column on Phantom Trail, which is tough but offers beautiful and diverse views.
