Torus Tammer The Orange County Sheriff's Department has stepped up to the plate and responded to the safety concerns of residents in Sunset Beach. The beach town has, in the past, rarely needed an intense police presence, but many residents changed their minds about that when a group of children found a small paper envelope containing what may have been methamphetamine while they were playing outside about six months ago. Robbie Faris took the role as spokesman for 20 households that united out of mutual concern for the community's safety.

A woman was fatally struck by a car while walking across Pacific Coast Highway in Sunset Beach on Thursday night. According to dispatcher Beth Smith of the California Highway Patrol, the woman was in a crosswalk when the vehicle struck her at about 9:20 p.m. at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Coral Cay Lane. The incident is being investigated by the highway patrol and not the Huntington Beach Police Department, since the collision occurred in county-owned Sunset Beach just over the city line.

I want to express my gratitude for your article about the church I have attended for the past six years or so — Calvary Chapel of the Harbour (“Prayers for home,” Dec. 3). I was not “looking” for a new church, but as I live in the Harbour, I came across Pastor Joe Pedick’s small church. I have been blessed in so many ways by the family of God who meet there faithfully to honor God and support each other and the community at large. What a blessing to have them in the neighborhood!

As a 30-year resident of Sunset Beach, I attended the meeting Aug. 2 when Huntington Beach voted to annex Sunset ("Huntington votes to annex Sunset," Aug. 5). When you read all the reports — those paid for by Sunset Beach residents, and those paid for by Huntington Beach — it is clear that Huntington Beach made the correct decision. There was a very vocal minority of well-meaning but naive residents who want to become a city. The silent majority did not even bother to show up at the meeting.

Nestled next to Captain Jack's restaurant in Sunset Beach is Anderson Art Gallery, which houses the works of both well-known and up-and-coming painters and artists. It's fitting that the gallery -- owned and run by Bill and Ausma Anderson -- should be neighbors with the landmark restaurant, a family-run establishment for the past 34 years. "It's part of the charm and character of this city, as are a lot of these other restaurants and buildings you see here," Bill Anderson said of the venerable restaurant.

Emotions ran high as the Huntington Beach City Council voted late Monday to annex neighboring Sunset Beach over the cries of residents who tried to block the decision in hopes of keeping the funky, unincorporated beach town independent. The council voted 5 to 2 to direct city administrators to complete an application with the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to acquire Sunset Beach, the city's northern neighbor along Pacific Coast Highway. Mayor Cathy Green and Mayor Pro Tem Jill Hardy dissented.
