At Lighthouse Family Dentistry, we are proud to serve many military families stationed at the Naval Postgraduate School and the Defense Language Institute. If you are a military spouse or dependent looking for a dentist that accepts military benefits and insurance, you are welcome to come in and see us at Lighthouse Family Dentistry.
Most of the military families are covered with Metlife. Active military have their own dental care providers, so we rarely see them. However, Metlife is issued for the spouse and/or dependents, and we see them frequently in our office. As a general rule all should have their check-ups, etc. with branches of the service; they are required to show that they are “caries free” prior to foreign travel.
Some of the dental services that military families can utilize include: dental exams, teeth cleaning, fillings, crowns, and more, depending on insurance coverage.
To get started with a dental exam, contact Lighthouse Family Dentistry for an appointment. Lighthouse Family Dentistry is conveniently located near the Private Bolio gate of DLI at 251 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey. Contact us at drvankootendmd@yahoo.com or (831) 373-0478.
Photos taken at the 2015 4th of July celebrations in Old Monterey are now on our website! On the Old Monterey Photos page, check out the photo albums for:

On July 1st, 2015, Frost Cupcake Factory celebrated their 4th Anniversary of their ministry of yumminess. They gave away cupcakes, held a raffle for prizes (including a custom pink Frost Cupcakes beach cruiser bike from the Cruiser Shop), and gave everyone a chance to yuk it up with a fun photo "booth" by The Laugh Box.
They brought the house... they brought the FUNK house to their July 2nd, 2015 date with the Campbell Summer Concert Series.
We also have some photos from that concert if video isn't your thing.

Boston based photographer, Kimberly Maroon, recently got a chance to visit with the wonderful Bob the Cat of Recycle Bookstore in Downtown Campbell and she wrote and took photos of her experience. She also picked up a book too. Welcome to Campbell Ms. Maroon!
She wrote: At first glance Campbell seems like your regular run-of-the-mill suburb. Strip malls and quiet neighborhoods of two-story homes with backyards. One of my first nights there, I went for a walk downtown looking for dinner and anything to do. Yes! Finally, something that reminded me of my neighborhood…

Campbell has lost another icon and Downtown Campbell has lost one of its most supportive boosters from years past when Downtown Campbell was a sleepy avenue that shut down and became a ghost town at 5pm every day. It's hard to believe, but those days are really not that long ago.
Betty Deal, your deeds will be remembered and your passion for improving things for business and the community in Campbell will live on. Thank you for all of your help and steadfast support for all those years. You were there and you will be missed.
The Campbell Chamber has a endearing tribute to Betty here:
http://campbellchamber.net/2015/06/24/in-honor-of-an-icon-betty-deal/
There will be a memorial service to celebrate Betty's adventures at Darling Fischer Memorial Chapel in Downtown Campbell on Monday, June 29th at 11:00am.

On behalf of the Old Monterey Foundation and the Old Monterey Business Association we would like to thank our long time partner, the City of Monterey. They have played a huge part in ensuring that the parade marches as smooth and safe as possible.
Peter B’s Brewpub has been awarded two Gold Medals by the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI). Based on a scale of 1-100 points, Peter B’s Je T’Aime and Midnight Lighting earned 90 and 92 points, respectively.
Je T’aime has a clear gold amber color and is described by the BTI as bright and fruity. There are floral aromas of banana nut muffin, orange blossom honey, and herb baguette. It has a velvety, lively, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a tingly, interesting, medium-length arugula, peppercorns, stone fruit custard, and brown spices finish.
The second winning beer, Midnight Lightening, has an amber color with aromas of fruitcake, berry compote, and vinaigrette. It has a supple, tangy, effervescent, sourish medium-to-full body and a warming, nuanced, medium-long balsamic and soy drizzled dark berries, pomegranate, crème brulee, and salty roasted chestnuts finish.
On behalf of the Old Monterey Foundation and the Old Monterey Business Association we would like to thank the following Independence Day Contributors for their sponsorship of the 2015 4th of July Parade.
Once again, the very popular Campbell Farmer's Market took top billing in a best of readers poll. The Farmers' Market that takes place in Downtown Campbell every Sunday from 9am to 1pm was voted as the Best in Silicon Valley 2015 by the readers of the San Jose Mercury News.
Downtown Campbell's year round Farmer's Market is well loved for the community atmosphere and fresh produce grown locally by California Farmers. It's also known for being a great place to people watch and shop for more than just your usual groceries. People come for the craft vendors, live music, coffee, breakfast at one of our restaurants, and for the casual shopping atmosphere.
If you want proof, here's a photo album for you to look through of the Campbell Farmer's Market. Better yet, come on down and enjoy it in person.
