‘WE ARE really excited,” city administrator JasonStilwell said in an email to all city employees Thursdaymorning. “For the past two years, we have all workedtogether to make progress in the City of Carmel.”

He was announcing the launch ofwww.CarmelCityNews.com, the city’s effort to convey thegood deeds it’s doing to the public, and to offset some ofthe damage officials have done to their relationships withtheir constituents duringthe past couple of years byfiring longtime employeesand withholding publicrecords. In the wake of amarch on city hall and peti-tion drive earlier thismonth, Mayor JasonBurnett said the city wouldtry to do a better job ofcommunicating with resi-dents, and a blog by cityworkers was one compo-nent of his plan.

“As a team member, youknow about the changes and the progress. However, out-side of city hall, not many really know about what hastaken place,” Stilwell continued. “We’ve been a bit toofocused on getting things done and not focused enough onsharing that progress with our neighbors in Carmel.”

The blog, he said, will keep locals “informed on every-thing that’s happening in our community,” includingupdates and changes in the city, arts and events, andgoings on at the police department.

“It’s clear to us that residents of Carmel consistentlywant to know more as we work to make the necessarychanges and fix the problems we face,” Stilwell wrote.

He asked employees to provide information about theirdepartments for inclusion on the blog, and said it alsoincludes a “Pic of the Week” competition “and a sectiondedicated to dogs and dog lovers called ‘Wags n’ Tags,’” to

A week after he was due back from hiking trek, Big Sur man is still missing

By CHRIS COUNTS

AN EXTENSIVE search was launched this week to find a local manwho disappeared in the Ventana Wilderness while backpacking.

Arvin Nelson, 55, was expected to return Aug. 15 from an eight-daysolo hike through the Big Sur backcountry. Described by blogger Big SurKate as “a tall black man with a sweet smile,” Nelson is a longtime Big Surresident who works as a server at the Big Sur River Inn.

Dropped off by the friend, Nelson began his trek Aug. 6 at China Camp,which is located on Chews Ridge along Tassajara Road. From there, he isbelieved to have taken the popular Pine Ridge Trail, which leads 25 mileswest to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office is coordinating the search afterbeing contacted Aug. 16 by one of Nelson’s friends. According the sher-iff ’s office, “he told his friends if he didn’t make contact with them byAug. 15 to report him missing,”

Air supportNumerous other law enforcement agencies and volunteers are assisting

the sheriff ’s search and rescue team. MCSO Cmdr. John Thornburg said asmany as 32 people were “on the ground” searching for Nelson.

The search has been aided by California Highway Patrol, United StatesCoast Guard and National Guard helicopters. The Carmel Valley Airfieldis being used as a staging area for the helicopters.

“There has been extensive emergency activity with helicopters and alarge amount of equipment at the airfield since Saturday,” Carmel Valleyresident Paul Ingram reported.

City wants tokeep localsinformed on how it’s ‘gettingthings done’

By KELLY NIX

THE HOUSING project in Pebble Beach that wouldprovide homes to two dozen middle-income families hitanother stumbling block when the Pacific Grove CityCouncil this week decided to urge the county to build itsomewhere else.

Council members voted 6-0 Wednesday night to senda letter to county planners and to each member of theMonterey County Board of Supervisors informing themthat the affordable housing project, according to nearbyresidents in P.G. and Pebble Beach, will cause a host ofproblems and isn’t suited for the area.

The housing is being proposed by the P.B. Co. to sat-isfy a state law requiring that new housing include afford-able units. The site was picked because it’s right next to aneighborhood containing shops, schools and public trans-portation.

“Several hundred trees will have to be cut,” accordingto the council’s letter. “There are issues of parking andincreased traffic. Pacific Grove homes in the area feelthat the character of that neighborhood will be radicallychanged.

‘Major change’ to the neighborhoodThe housing project on Congress Court would be pri-

marily for employees of the P.B. Co. And while the coun-cil conceded that affordable housing would reduce traveltime for the company’s workers, save gasoline and “pro-vide benefits of a good and generous employer,” it wantsthe housing built somewhere else.

The concerns include traffic, noise, “encroachmentsof privacy,” loss of forest canopy, and a “major change tothe tranquility and character of their neighborhood,”according to the city council’s letter. The 24-unit apart-ment complex would back up against several dead-endstreets in the Del Monte Park area of Pacific Grove.

“The project could be moved to other areas on thePebble Beach footprint that would not cause the negativeconditions listed,” according to council, which does notoffer an alternative location in Del Monte Forest it feelswould be best suited for the development.

P.G. City Council urges county to moveP.B. housing project

In a council agenda report, Pacific Grove City Councilman KenCuneo cited the “motivated and organized” group of residentsopposed to the project. Though the city doesn’t have any authorityover the project, Cuneo said it’s important “to convey the concernsof its residents, particularly those in Del Monte Park” during thepublic comment period and public review after the environmentalreport is released. A group called Del Monte Neighbors United hasopposed the idea through its own website and Facebook.

The city council also urged a public scoping meeting set forAug. 28 to be moved to another date because it conflicts with ForestGrove Elementary School’s Back to School Night. While MontereyCounty planner Joe Sidor told The Pine Cone Wednesday that the

Welcome Wagner

WAGNER HAS a flair for the dramatic. Easilyexcitable, desperate for attention and devoted toaffection, the little Lhasa Apso-Schnauzer mixoften gets called “Vahgner,” as if he has somesort of sophisticated association to opera.Actually, he just wags his tail a lot.

After loving and losing her previous LhasaApso at 17 years, she waited awhile to consideranother, readying her heart and home to adoptanother dog. Finally feeling mentally and emo-tionally open to loving again, she chose Wagnerbecause of his funny little face.

“His under bite is adorable,” says his person.“Plus, he has so much personality. As Winnie thePooh said, ‘Tiggers are wonderful things. Theirtops are made out of rubber. Their bottoms aremade out of springs. Like Tigger, he’s alwaysbouncing around.”

One of the places Wagner most often bouncesis at the beach. Once his paws slip into the sand,he’s off and running to the shore to splasharound in the surf as if he’s the only one there.

“Wagner absolutely loves the water,” says hisperson. “I’m afraid one of these days I’m going tohave to go in after him; he’s such a little guy. Heruns in and gets his feet wet, but then a wavecomes crashing in, and before he knows it, he’sdrenched. Other dogs might scan the sky, look-ing for birds. There’s not much down at his eyelevel, but he doesn’t look up.”

What gets Wagner’s attention is the sound ofhis person’s car in the driveway, letting him

know she’s home. He bolts toward the front doorand wags his whole body until his person gath-ers him in her arms and soothes him.

“There’s nothing better,” she says, “than hav-ing someone at home who’s always happy tosee you.”

City didn’t turn off median lightsn Somebody unplugged them by accident, that’s all

By MARY SCHLEY

THE WHITE fairy lights in the OceanAvenue medians were shut off last week, butcity administrator Jason Stilwell said thisweek the shutdown was unintentional andnot because some people complain aboutthem. The lights are back on at their custom-ary start time of 8 p.m.

Maybe someone from the Concours onthe Avenue “needed a plug; maybe someonefrom the public inadvertently kicked the plugloose,” Stilwell said, “When we saw thelights were off, we went out and investigatedand found they had been tampered with, andfixed it.”

Resident Cindy Lloyd has routinelyraised the median lights as an area of con-cern, ever since the city council decided in

April 2012 to leave them lit every night ofthe year, and Stilwell said the council madesettling the matter — again — one of itsgoals. Prior to the decision of two-and-ha-half years ago, the lights were confined tothe holiday season, and then to an extendedperiod running from November through mid-February.

“Median lighting is an important issue forthe city and is an approved project and keyinitiative of the city,” Stilwell said. “Theplanning commission will be having a sub-committee to examine the issue later thisyear and solicit public comment to reexam-ine where it is the community wants to beregarding median lighting.”

That subcommittee met this week,according to planning commissioner JanReimers, who said planning director RobMullane “did a nice job of helping get anorderly process in place.”

“We made suggestions, shared thoughtsand comments that we had heard, and set a

date for the first workshop,” she said.Former city councilwoman Paula

Hazdovac said the median needs some sort ofillumination.

“There needs to be some form of lightingin the median strips at night,” she comment-ed. “Without something, it is too dark to besafe, as well as very unwelcoming.”

She suggested reducing the number of

strings of lights in the trees — except duringthe holidays— and wrapping the trunks andsome of the limbs of the trees, so the lightscould provide uplighting.

“This is done at the Beach Club and at theLodge in Pebble Beach, and the ‘moonlight’-like glow is very attractive, natural lookingand provides enough light to make one feelsafe,” she said.

CHS fundraisers offer dealsTHE CARMEL High School football

team and the Padre Parents, who raise moneyfor Carmel High School programs andequipment, recently launched two fundrais-ers: a community savings card and a maga-zine subscription service.

The savings card “looks just like a creditcard,” said parent and supporter Jeanne Hale.“People may purchase the card for $15, andthey will receive discounts for a one-yearperiod from all of our local business spon-sors.”

Savings offered by the card’s sponsors,whom Hale described as “extremely gener-ous,” include 10 percent off at Erik’s DeliCafe, 10 percent off at the Carmel BagelBakery, 15 percent off at Village Corner, 20percent off a large pepperoni pizza atAllegro, 10 percent off at the Running Iron

and Robata (except during Happy Hour andon takeout), $1 off every $10 purchase atLafayette Bakery, 50 cents off coffee drinksfrom Carmel Coffee House, and 15 percentoff Pinkberry frozen yogurt, among others.

The cards expire June 30, 2015, and areavailable from any member of the CHS foot-ball team or by calling Hale at (831) 624-7813.

THE DRIVER of a Ford Explorer had to be rescuedfrom her SUV by firefighters Tuesday afternoon, after shewas cut off by a woman driving a Mini Cooper, lost controlof her car, hit a tree and overturned in front of a house atCarpenter and Fourth, according to Carmel P.D. Cmdr. PaulTomasi. The other driver, meanwhile, panicked and left thescene, and then got lost trying to find it again after she real-ized she should go back.

The Ford had the right of way on Carpenter Street throughthe intersection, and the driver, who was not identified,braked to try to avoid hitting the Mini Cooper driven by 40-year-old El Segundo resident Cijaya Palacharla when shepulled out in front of her, according to Tomasi. The crashoccurred around 1 p.m. Aug. 19.

“But she was unable to avoid the collision,” he said. “TheCooper struck her vehicle, causing her to swerve to the rightand off the road. Her vehicle struck a tree, which caused herto overturn.”

Instead of immediately stopping, as is required by law,Palacharla panicked and continued driving east on Fourth.

“She immediately realized she needed to get back at thescene, but got lost,” Tomasi said. “She was going to dial 911but decided to try to find it instead.” She made her way to theShell station where she had gotten gas earlier and eventuallyreturned to the scene about 20 minutes later. Police decidednot to charge her with hit-and-run, but with failure to yield tooncoming traffic.

Rescue neededTrapped inside the overturned SUV, the other driver had to

be freed by emergency personnel, according to MontereyFire Assistant Chief Jim Courtney.

“The fire department stabilized the car and extricated thetrapped person with rescue equipment,” he said. “The vehi-cle’s windshield was removed, and the patient was taken out.”

After carefully removing the driver from the Explorer,emergency responders placed her on a back board, ensuringher spine was stabilized, and the ambulance took the womanto Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula for treat-ment of her injuries.

MCCLOUD, LIVINGSTON JOIN FORCES

TO PLAN CITY’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONBy MARY SCHLEY

FORMER MAYOR Sue McCloud, longtime residentMerv Sutton and former city councilwoman and CarmelResidents Association President Barbara Livingston all havestrong opinions about this town, and haven’t always beenallies. Livingston tried to unseat McCloud as mayor in 2002,in fact. But when it comes to honoring their city as it turns100 on Oct. 31, 2016, they are aligned in their desire to planthe best possible ways to mark the milestone.

“The city will celebrate the centennial for a year,”McCloud explained, and October 2016, in particular, will befilled with events. The committee has been meeting formonths and developed a centennial logo. Now, the three are

brainstorming how to mark the city’s birthday, and they wantresidents and business people to share their opinions, too.

“We want to be inclusive, not exclusive, and would like togin up enough interest that people would volunteer to helpus,” McCloud said, adding that the city has so far allocated$15,000 to the planning effort.

One thing’s for certain: The annual Halloween/birthdayparade will be over the top in 2016.

“We want to have it be a spectacular parade,” Sutton said.“It’s going to be a big job if we do it the way we want to doit.”

Former Mayor Clint Eastwood offered to ride up front,and all the living former mayors will join him, according toSutton. The birthday lunch usually held at Sunset Center willtake place in the Mission courtyard, instead, and includemore than the traditional hot dogs and ice cream.

“They’ve reserved that for us,” Livingston said. “It holds600 people,” and she envisions mariachis and other entertain-ment as part of the party.

The group also mentioned the possibilities of expandingthe Tor House festival held each year in the historic home ofauthor Robinson Jeffers, showing films on the beach, repub-lishing a book of old photos first released by the city in 2004to mark the centennial of the city’s founding by FrankDevendorf and Frank Powers, and arranging a time capsule,a special photo exhibit and a special postage cancellation.

“Restaurants could have certain items on their menusrelated to the centennial,” Livingston suggested, andMcCloud mentioned Galante Vineyards may do a specialcentennial bottling, since Jack Galante is descended fromDevendorf.

“That would be good for him and good for us,” Suttonremarked.

McCloud said the group might also organize a contest forbusinesses to decorate their windows, and the CarmelHeritage Society is working on a display showing all the pastmayors of the city. Copies of the original deeds and other his-torical documents could also be sold.

Anyone with ideas or interested in helping should contactMcCloud at (831) 624-7310 or by email atcloud93921@aol.com. The city website should also havecontact information soon.

OFFICIAL UPHOLDS PERMIT FOR NEW

BEACH HOUSE DELI, RETAIL SPACEBy KELLY NIX

A PERMIT for a new deli and retailshop on the ground floor of Pacific Grove’sBeach House restaurant was upheld by thecity’s development director last week,despite arguments the small business is notsuited for the location.

At a public hearing Aug. 15 at city hall,interim community development departmentdirector Steve Matarazzo called the proposedbusiness — which would occupy 816 squarefeet space below the main restaurant andoffer coffee, breakfast and lunch — “com-pletely consistent” with the city’s Land UsePlan.

He also said the business would be eco-nomically beneficial and upheld permits thecity issued the project in July. The publichearing was held after resident Luke Colettichallenged the permits.

In issuing his decision during the roughly45-minute hearing that drew about 35 peo-ple, Matarazzo said the project would pro-vide revenues to the city “not only in leaseterms, but also retail sales tax.”

Coletti told The Pine Cone after the hear-ing that he will appeal Matarazzo’s decisionto the city’s planning commission.

Kevin Phillips, an owner of the BeachHouse restaurant, said he and his businesspartners thought a lot about how the smallspace beneath the main restaurant, which isonly allowed to be open for dinner, could beutilized. The downstairs space, he said,would also offer a small store.

“We are there every morning,” Phillipssaid during the hearing. “There a big demandfor basic services like we are proposing:Coffee service, free wifi, that sort of thing.”

But Joe Cavallaro, the owner of the near-by Grill at Lovers Point, said the new BeachHouse business would target the same cus-tomers he serves at his small burger shack,and he doesn’t want the competition.Cavallaro also reminded the city that it’s apartner in The Grill since it leases him theeatery’s space.

“You are a 6 percent partner with me,”Cavallaro said. “So why are you going toopen up another restaurant to be competitiveto what I’m already doing?”

Cavallaro also said he didn’t believe therewas a significant draw for a business to offercoffee and offer wifi service for computerusers.

“I can guarantee you there is not thisgreat need that we are talking about — cof-fee, wifi in the morning — like they saythere is,” he said.

Grove Market owner Charlie Higuera alsosaid the new space would put Cavallaro outof business.

“If they let that go in downstairs it’s bye,bye, Joe,” he said. “I’d hate to see that and alot of other people would, too.”

However, Sam Rashkin, an economicdevelopment consultant, said Phillips’ busi-ness would have “minimal impact becausethe business would not be a “destination

P.G. Rec trail should continue to be segregated, commission says

By KELLY NIX

PACIFIC GROVE’S Traffic SafetyCommission last week decided the cityshould return the paved rec trail along theshoreline to the “bikes only” status it haduntil a recent repaving, even though quite afew residents, and even several city officials,say the changes will increase conflictsbetween bicyclists and pedestrians.

A traffic commission subcommittee onAug. 12 decided the city should install signsinforming trail users that the paved path isonly for bicycles and an adjacent trail ofdecomposed granite is for walkers. It alsorecommended repainting a white demarca-tion line separating the two paths.

The commission was asked to look intoways it could reduce the number of disputesbetween bicyclists and walkers. While it hadconsidered opening up the paved portion ofthe rec path to pedestrians, about 10 peoplespoke out against the idea at the Aug. 12meeting.

A woman who commutes from her homein Pacific Grove to the Naval PostgraduateSchool every morning told the commissionshe has noticed more walkers straying ontothe paved path after the city repaved the trailbut decided not to repaint the bikes-onlymarkings. “After the signs weren’t put back,it has increased the traffic with pedestrianswalking on the paved part and not really pay-ing attention,” she said.

Another woman urged the commission torestore the separation of bicyclists andpedestrians by painting the demarcation linesand putting up signs.

“The way the markings were before, 25percent of pedestrians walked on the bikepath,” she said. “Now it’s 80 percent pedes-trians walking on the path.”

Jason Wachs, a Carmel Valley residentwho regularly rides his bicycle on Montereyand Pacific Grove rec trails, urged PacificGrove to install signs along the path fromLovers Point to the Monterey Bay Aquariumthat make it clear the two paths are separate.

“It’s the tourists there for the first timewho are the real problem,” he said.

Wachs, who said he’s spent hundreds ofhours trying to come up with a solution forthe rec trail, said the signs should have uni-versally understood symbols, an idea thecommission is considering.

Resident Mary Dainton, who said sheuses the rec trail at least three times a week,said she was a little “perturbed” to find outthe city did not repaint the bicycle symbolswhen it repaved the rec path.

“If you don’t have signs, we will havemountain bikes on the [dirt trail] and pedes-trians on the paved portion,” she said. “Andit will be a free for all.”

Opening the paved path to everyone hasdrawn support from city manager TomFrutchey, an experienced cyclist, cityCouncilman Robert Huitt and Pacific GrovePolice Cmdr. Cassie McSorley.

Many residents also believe the pavedbicycles-only path led cyclists to think it wasa race course, leading to dangerous con-frontations, and even collisions, betweencyclists and pedestrians.

There is no speed limit for bicyclists onthe rec trail listed in the city’s MunicipalCode, McSorley told The Pine Cone. And itisn’t unusual to see bicyclists riding fasterthan 30 mph, even on busy weekends.

At least one member of the subcommit-tee, Ed Lake, was surprised that nobodyargued that the paved rec trail should be opento both cyclists and pedestrians, an idea thatseveral residents advocated for in letters tothe commission prior to last week’s meeting.

“Tonight we heard something differentthan the input we had in writing,” Lake said.The commission decided the opinions of thepeople who spoke in person outweighedthose of the people who wrote.

Frutchey and the public works superin-tendent are reviewing the commission’s rec-ommendations, city traffic engineer BillSilva told The Pine Cone.

“As soon as public works gets the go-ahead,” Silva said, “the work can be done.”

Beach sidewalks to finally get beautified — with permeable paversBy MARY SCHLEY

THE SIDEWALKS along OceanAvenue near the beach should be made ofpermeable grey pavers instead of asphalt, theCarmel Planning Commission decided lastweek. Replacing the sidewalks will be thefinal component of an overhaul of the beachparking area that included new paths andlandscaping, resurfacing the parking areaand other changes.

While most of the work was completed in2012, the sidewalk replacement was delayedafter the city ran out of money to pay for it,even though the California CoastalConservancy awarded a taxpayer-fundedgrant for some of it.

Last June, the planning commissionreviewed a proposal to install sidewalkpavers, but due to the short funding, only asmall section of the sidewalk on the southside of Ocean would have been covered rightaway, and commissioners decided the whole

thing should wait until funding was avail-able.

Last week, senior planner Marc Wienertold the commission the project can be com-pleted, because the coastal conservancygrant was extended and the council allocatedmore money to the work in the 2014/2015budget. The total budgeted was $120,000,with half of that coming from state taxpay-ers.

Wiener suggested several differentpavers, both square and brick-shaped, in var-ious shades of grey. Earlier proposals hadcalled for red pavers, but commissioners feltthey would “present a commercial-lookingappearance,” he said.

City forester Mike Branson demonstratedjust how permeable the pavers are by holdingone of the grey bricks over a bucket andpouring a glass of water over it. None of thewater flowed off the brick — and if he’d keptpouring, the water would have passed rightthrough.

PHOTO/MARY SCHLEY

The sidewalks leading down Ocean Avenue to Carmel Beach will be covered with grey bricks throughwhich water can filter into the soil below, the planning commission decided last week.

“We’ve used them in the city for keepingwater out of the storm drains and in the soil,”he said. “They look and wear just like anyother concrete paver, it’s just that they arepermeable.”

The commission debated the colors, withcommissioner Jan Reimers wondering ifthere was a way to better tie in with theshades and hues of the tree trunks in the area,but Branson said he was proposing colors

similar to the surface there now.“The asphalt that’s there is greyish, and

that was the intent of proposing the grey,” hesaid. “People are comfortable with what’sthere, as opposed to a brown or a red. Itwould have the same aesthetic feel as the cur-rent consideration.”

Ultimately, commissioners unanimouslysettled on “natural grey,” a lighter shade thanthe charcoal option also proposed.

Wedding dispute at Rocky Point brings up access and parking issuesBy CHRIS COUNTS

A CARMEL Valley man who said he has officiated wed-dings at a picturesque site along the Big Sur coast nearRocky Point for more than 30 years claims he has a legalright to marry people there.

But the general manager of the Rocky Point Restaurantinsisted recently the weddings were trespassing.

The dispute began Aug. 8 when Brian Lyke brought awedding party of eight people and a photographer to the area,which is located a short walk south of the Rocky PointRestaurant’s parking lot. The area features an expansive viewsouth along the coast toward Rocky Creek Bridge.

Just as the wedding was getting underway, the restaurant’sgeneral manager Amy Stouffer approached the group andsaid they couldn’t do the ceremony there.

“She told us we all had to leave because we were on theirproperty and we didn’t have a permit,” Lyke told The PineCone. “She interrupted the ceremony and said, ‘I’ll give you10 minutes.’”

Lyke contends the land he was standing on is owned bythe county and the public has a right to use it. “It’s clearlyMonterey County land,” he said.

Lyke said he and the members of wedding parties gener-ally park in a turnout along Highway 1 and walk to the site,although he admitted in this case the wedding party drove itslimousine into the restaurant’s parking lot.

The limousine definitely caught Stouffer’s attention.“I noticed a stretched limo coming down our driveway,”

Stouffer wrote in an email to The Pine Cone. “I just thoughtit was a formal group that would be dining at our restaurant.”

About 30 minutes later, after Stouffer observed a weddingceremony just below the parking lot, she approached thewedding party. “I walked to the lower parking lot and said,‘Excuse me, this is private property and I’m going to have toask you to leave.’” Stouffer recalled. “They refused and wentback to proceeding with the ceremony.”

In response, Stouffer called the Monterey CountySheriff’s Department.

The ceremony didn’t last long. A short time later, the sher-iff’s office contacted Stouffer to say a deputy was on the way.But by then, the wedding party had left, so the call was can-celed.

According to a map provided by Carl Holm, the assistantMonterey County planning director, the county owns an 8.9-

acre parcel surrounding the restaurant’s 2.5-acre property onthree sides. The site Lyke uses for weddings appears to belocated close to a border between the two properties, thoughit’s not clear exactly on whose property the weddings havebeen taking place.

Planning director Mike Novo said his agency is research-ing public access issues at Rocky Point, but he said it’s tooearly to comment. He also said it’s unclear if the county willrequire wedding parties to obtain a permit to conduct cere-monies on county land.

The restaurant’s attorney, Anthony Lombardo, said owner

Peter Wang has no issue with the public walking through hisparking lot to reach the county property. But he said there’snot enough room in the lot for the public to park their vehiclesbecause the space is needed to accommodate the restaurant’scustomers.

Lombardo said the wedding dispute brings up a largerissue along a very well travelled section of the Big Sur coast— its lack of parking and restrooms. He said visitors com-monly stop at the restaurant to use its restrooms. To lessen theimpact on his property, the attorney said Wang is willing tohelp pay for a parking lot and restrooms on county land.

AFTER LEARNING the hard way how treacherous thesurf is along the Big Sur coast, two fishermen were rescuedAug. 15 near Rocky Point.

Emergency workers from California State Parks, CALFIRE and the Mid-Coast Volunteer Fire Brigade responded toa call just before noon that a man had fallen into the water.While it was unclear if he fell or was swept off a rock by awave, he was floating on his back when they arrived.

Mid-Coast fire chief Cheryl Goetz said it was no smallchallenge for lifeguard Shane Scoggins to reach the victim.

“It was quite an amazing adventure for him to get to theman,” who apparently had swallowed a considerable amountof water, Goetz told The Pine Cone. “He was making gur-gling sounds, which is not good.”

Somehow, Scoggins was able to get the victim to therocky and steep shoreline, where emergency workers loadedhim into a rescue basket and lifted him up to the dry landwhere a CALSTAR helicopter was waiting. The man wasairlifted to the Regional Medical Center of San Jose, Goetzsaid. “He was conscious and moaning when the helicopterflew away,” she recalled.

Goetz said Scoggins efforts saved the man’s life.“He was a rock star,” declared the fire chief, who estimat-

ed the victim was in the water for 45 to 50 minutes. “It waspretty remarkable what he did. It was no easy feat.”

After bringing the man to shore, Scoggins had to get backto work quickly because the victim’s friend found himself

‘Rock star’ rescue saves waterlogged fishermantrapped on a rock with the tide coming in. The lifeguardbrought the second man to safety.

The two fishermen apparently live in San Jose, so it’s nosurprise they were unfamiliar with the dangers of getting tooclose to the surf at Rocky Point. Goetz said the second manhad to call another friend in San Jose — and wait about twohours — to get a ride home because the first man was carry-ing the keys to the car they used to get to Big Sur. “It was avery bad day for him,” Goetz added.

RESIDENT CAROLINA Bayne, who organized theAug. 5 march on city hall that drew more than 100 protestersand launched a petition drive calling for the resignation ofcity administrator Jason Stilwell, told The Pine ConeThursday she is starting a phone tree to try to keep peopleinterested in the issues and get them involved in makingchanges at city hall.

“Apparently the 500-plus signatures don’t mean a thing,”she said. “I talked to one council member yesterday, and shesaid she knew what was happening but was inclined to giveit six months to see if it gets better.”

Not content to wait and see, Bayne said she is encourag-ing everyone to call five other people and ask them to call oremail Mayor Jason Burnett and each council member withtheir concerns about Stilwell’s management of the city.

Invitation to everybody“We invite the residents of Carmel-by-the-Sea to get

active in this,” she told The Pine Cone Thursday morning,while she was visiting the weekly farmers market inDevendorf Park. “Because at this point, the petitions and sig-natures of more than 500 people didn’t mean much to thecouncil and the mayor.”

Bayne said she hopes to “keep the momentum going” onher campaign to oust Stilwell, whom she and others blamefor the firing of longtime employees, the hiring of outsidelaw firms, the mishandling of California Public Records Actrequests and other alleged missteps.

Burnett has defended Stilwell, saying he has simply beenfollowing the council’s lead, and that any residents with com-plaints should address them to him and the council. They alsodecided to embark on a public-outreach effort, part of whichcame to fruition this week in the form of a new city blog.

Bayne not ready to give up her fight

Hotel bellman runs from police, is arrested for heroinBy MARY SCHLEY

HOPING TO avoid creating a scene, two Carmel policeofficers walked into an upscale Monte Verde Street hotel lastThursday afternoon around 3 p.m. to arrest an employeethere on a felony warrant. But when their suspect, 25-year-old Castroville resident Kyle Elder, decided to run instead ofgoing quietly, they ended up having to chase him through thehotel to catch him, Carmel Police Cmdr. Paul Tomasi saidthis week.

“The officers were trying to be discreet because it wasConcours weekend, so they went in and said, ‘We need to talkto you outside,’” he said. But when detective Greg Johnsonand officer Michael Bruno got the L’Auberge Carmel bell-man outside, Elder fled.

“He ran back through the hotel and ran up a couple offlights of stairs,” Tomasi said. “Here we are, trying to avoid ascene, and he creates one.”

Johnson got to the 5-foot-9, 200-pound man first and sub-dued him, according to Tomasi, with Bruno arrivingmoments later.

“He ran from the officers because he was holding heroin,”he explained. “He had 5 grams of heroin in his pocket —that’s a lot — so he decided he was going to run and try toget rid of it.”

The felony warrant also involved drugs, according toTomasi. Carmel officers had arrested Elder for heroin amonth earlier, and he had failed to appear in court, so a judgeissued a warrant for his arrest.

“I don’t think a lot of people realize how big heroin is —it’s prevalent,” he said. For years, the drug’s use declined, butwith the rising abuse of Oxycontin and other prescriptionnarcotics, heroin use has resurged, since it’s relatively easy toget.

“You found it in hardcore drug users in Salinas andChinatown,” he said. “But kids got addicted to it from abus-ing prescription drugs, and now you see much more of it.”

Elder was booked into Monterey County Jail on the$25,000 warrant, as well as a new felony charge of posses-sion of narcotics, and misdemeanor charges of evading arrestand possession of drug paraphernalia. His arraignment is setfor Aug. 27.

By MARY SCHLEY

AFTER SEVEN years of putting red carpet on theasphalt in front of his Ocean Avenue store during ConcoursWeek, Todd Tice, owner of The Club clothing store, waswarned Friday that doing anything with those spaces — otherthan using them for parking — requires another permit, inaddition to the $1,800 he already paid to reserve three spacesfor three days.

Tice, like other downtown business owners, reservesspaces in front of his store every year to add to the festiveatmosphere downtown, not to mention save a spot or two forhis best clients at a time when parking is at a premium.

“We always put the red carpet out,” Tice told The PineCone Tuesday. “Every year, we’ve never had any type ofproblem.”

But this year, community services newcomer ChilonePayton and code enforcement officer Al Fasulo were warningretailers they couldn’t do anything in their reserved parkingspaces unless they also had an encroachment permit or a spe-cial-event permit. City administrator Jason Stilwell said theparking permit only allows someone to reserve the spot for acar, though no municipal code section or city policy explicit-ly says so.

“There is no specific policy that states exactly whatreserving a parking spot provides,” he said. “There are poli-cies, however, governing the use of that parking spot once itis reserved,” including the code on encroachments, which aredefined as “any excavation, structure or object, temporary or

“No new rules have been adopted. We are complying withthe rules that have been in place for some time,” he said.“The policies are designed to minimize risk for proper stew-ardship of the public’s assets and protection of the taxpayers.”

The reason, according to Stilwell, is insurance.

Kerfuffle over what, exactly, can be done with those reserved parking spacespermanent, upon, over or under any city property or publicright of way, except driveways,” and the policy covering“short-term use of public spaces,” which states a permit isrequired for the exclusive use of public property and outlinesinsurance requirements.

He said the warnings were simply due to city officialsdeciding to finally enforce the rules. See PARKING page 27A

City officials toldbusiness owners lastweek that they needencroachment permits for the redcarpets they placein reserved parkingspaces duringConcours Week —including the rugunderneath theexpensive carsparked in front ofLittle Napoli.

12A The Carmel Pine Cone August 22, 2014

John Peter Mollman died on July 30, 2014, at his home in Carmel, CA. Thechronic lymphocytic leukemia he energetically battled for eleven years hadtransformed into large cell lymphoma.

Peter is survived by his lovely wife Carol of 16 years, his daughter SarahUnderhill (Robert) of Bronxville, NY, son Eric (Mary) of Winnetka, IL, and

stepson David (Janet) Moga of San Mateo, CA,and by eight grandchildren: Molly and SamUnderhill; Maddy, Tim, Annie, and EllieMollman; and Zoe and Ava Moga. He is alsosurvived by his nephew John Mollman(Kimberly Andrews) and children Hadley andSoren, and niece Melanie Mollman. His mar-riage to Jane Kendall Mollman, in 1953, endedin divorce.

John Peter Mollman was born on February 8,1931, in Belleville, IL, to Kenneth John andMaureen Farrow Mollman. He graduated fromBelleville Township High School in 1948 as

President and Valedictorian of his class. He went on to WashingtonUniversity in St. Louis, MO, on a full academic scholarship, and receivedhis B.A. in 1952. There he was president of Phi Delta Theta, a guard on thebasketball team, and shortstop on the baseball team. After graduating, hejoined the advertising department of General Electric in Schenectady, NY.In 1954, during the Korean War, he was drafted into the Army; he joinedthe Army Security Agency, and was stationed at Fort Devens, MA.

Publishing was in his blood, and in 1956, Peter returned to the Midwest,where he joined his father at the Mollman Publishing Company inMillstadt, IL, a weekly newspaper and magazine publishing business.During that time, he served as President of the Southern Illinois PressAssociation. In 1965, he made the big move to New York publishing, wherehe started out at Monarch Press and quickly shifted to Harper & Row,where he became a Vice-President. He was also Publisher of Harper’sMagazine Press, where he published, among others, the work of AnnieDillard, Pete Axthelm, and Bill Moyers. In 1974 he became Executive VicePresident of Manufacturing at Random House, Inc. In 1981 he moved toChicago to become first Executive Vice President and then President ofWorld Book Publishing. In 1991, Peter was contacted by Bill Gates, whowas venturing into electronic publishing. The challenge was compelling,and he moved to Seattle and served as Director of Intellectual PropertyDevelopment at Microsoft for six years before easing into retirement as aconsultant. His fascination with the potential impact of technology on theindustry continued, and he became involved with the early developmentof ebooks; at that time, content was limited to literature expressly writtenfor that medium.

Peter had an exceptional zest for life, and his signature laugh was conta-gious. He was a voracious reader; his appetite for books was fundamentaland unquenchable. His passions included art, music, theater, travel, foodand wine, sports, and all things Italian. His volunteer commitments reflect-ed these interests: he served as Director of the Publications Advisory Boardfor the Art Institute of Chicago; a member of the board of the Yerba BuenaCenter for the Arts in San Francisco; a member of the Committee forLibraries at Washington University; and the President of the Carmel PublicLibrary Foundation. With his wife Carol he was actively engaged withChamber Music Monterey, hosting concerts and dinners for the musiciansat their home.

As Peter himself described it, one of the most delightful and memorablemoments in his long publishing career was meeting Marcella and VictorHazan and his subsequent role in the development of The Classic ItalianCookbook. Peter had signed up for an Italian cooking class with theHazans in New York, in search of the food he had come to love in his trav-els; the authenticity of their food was nowhere to be found in Americancookbooks at the time. A friendship and partnership were born, and thefirst edition of this seminal work on Northern Italian cooking was pub-lished by Peter at Harper’s Magazine Press in 1973.

In retirement, he channeled his immense creative energy into the designand development of an Italian food website: www.classicpasta.com. Thesite is rich with Peter’s recipes and photographs; sources for authenticingredients; suggestions for wine pairings; restaurant reviews. The sitewas purely his own, and Peter’s distinctive voice and boundless enthusi-asm resonate on every page.

There could be few better ways to spend an evening than around Peter andCarol’s table in Carmel: Bill Evans playing in the background; courses ofdelicious, beautifully presented food emerging from the kitchen; excellentwine flowing; fascinating and far-reaching conversation punctuated bylaughter, or song (preferably from Guys and Dolls or another favoritemusical, but equally likely to be the Illini fight song), or a pause to pull avolume off the nearby shelf. In spirit, he will forever preside over suchgatherings.

A celebration of the life of John Peter Mollman will take place at his homein Carmel on a date to be determined. Donations in Peter’s honor may bemade to the Carmel Public Library Foundation, PO Box 2042, Carmel, CA93921-2042, (831) 624-2881, http://carmelpubliclibraryfoundation.org; or toChamber Music Monterey Bay, PO Box 221458, Carmel, CA 93922,www.chambermusicmontereybay.org

The resolve of a grieving fathern Son was a mass killer — ‘I need to stop this fromhappening again’

By PAUL MILLER

THE TRAGEDY has already faded fromthe headlines, and the public has gone on toworrying about a deadly virus in West Africaand more war in the Middle East.

But for Peter Rodger, whose son killedsix innocent people in Santa Barbara earlierthis year, the campaign to find a cure formental illness is just beginning, and he’s get-ting some vital help from MontereyPeninsula residents with what he says mustbe a nationwide campaign.

“On the 23rd of May, my son, ElliottRodger, murdered six young men andwomen at the prime of their lives and injured13 others,” Rodger told a fundraiser lastweek in Pebble Beach. “Yes, I stand beforeyou as the father of a mass murderer.”

The killings happened near UC SantaBarbara and shocked the nation, althoughsuch mass killings have somehow becomecommonplace.

At the same time, according to Rodger,there has been an epidemic of mental illness— much of it hidden.

“In order for Elliott to have carried outthese atrocities, he was in a place that noneof us can imagine,” Rodger said. “And theone thing that makes this scarier than any-thing else is that none of us — none of hisfamily, friends, doctors, counselors, psychia-trists, mentors or associates — had anyinkling that he was sick and that he harboredthese thoughts.”

He made the comments at the inauguralevent benefiting AIM for Mental Health, a

group started by Pebble Beach residentSusan Stilwell, who has high hopes for find-ing a way to identify, and even cure, mentaldisorders.

She said 175 people attended the Aug. 19fundraiser event at a private home near TheLodge. It brought in more than $250,000.

“We’re going to use the money — and, wehope, a lot more — to raise awareness ofwhat can be done and needs to be done,”Stilwell said.

To help spread the word and offerresources for help, she has launched a web-site (www.aimformentalhealth.org). And thenext step will be a fundraising and educa-tional walk in late October at Lovers Point inPacific Grove to give young people a chanceto do something about what she called an“explosion” of mental illness among chil-dren.

“Kids are being put on computers earlyon,” she said. “They’re wired from themoment they’re 3 or 4 years old, and it’sincreasing anxiety and ADHD,” she said

She also hopes to build on the momentumof her new group by doing a national cam-paign to “catch everybody’s attention” aboutthe urgency of mental health issues.

She said Rodger, who is an award-win-ning Hollywood producer, was advising herhow to get the national campaign going.

“We need to get as much money as possi-ble to find solutions, and Susan’s event was atremendous success,” Rodger said. “It’s real-ly up to the private sector to fund thesethings, because the government isn’t doinganything.”

His personal impetus, of course, is whathappened May 23.

“My duty,” he said, “is very simple. I needto try and help stop this kind of thing hap-pening again.”

CPUC judge grants extension for desal plant EIRBy KELLY NIX

A JUDGE with the state’s Public Utilities CommissionThursday granted a four-month extension for work on thedraft environmental review for California American Water’sproposed desalination plant in North Marina.

On Aug. 11, Andrew Barnsdale from the CPUC’s EnergyDivision, notified Administrative Law Judge Angela Minkinthat it had encountered delays on the environmental impactreport for the water project, and that it could not meet thethird quarter 2014 publication deadline. Barnsdale requestedan extra four months for the team working on the EIR.

Minkin granted the extension, citing Barnsdale’s schedulethat the draft document would be ready in January 2015 andthe publication of the final review is expected in July 2015.

“While a delay is very regrettable,” Minkin wrote in herfive-page ruling, “we agree that it is unavoidable for severalreasons.”

First, Minkin said it was important that the review — perthe State Water Resources Control Board’s recommendation— include information to determine whether the water proj-ect can proceed without violating other users’ groundwaterrights. However, acquiring permits for the 13 boreholes CalAm drilled in Marina to help answer questions on waterrights took longer than anticipated, she said.

“Hence,” Minkin wrote, “the groundwater modelingresults for the proposed project [have] been significantlydelayed.”

Secondly, she said more time is needed to determine theeffects of the water supply project on seawater intrusion inconjunction with the Castroville Seawater Intrusion Project,which seeks to reduce overdraft, and the Salinas Valley WaterProject, which also proposes to combat seawater intrusion bycapturing and diverting surface water from the Salinas Riverto “enhance the management of water resources.”

Third, Minkin said the CPUC Energy Division is con-cerned that the setback in groundwater modeling could ham-per the schedule for a water recycling project that is a collab-oration between the Monterey Regional Water PollutionControl Agency, Cal Am and the Monterey Peninsula Water

Management District. The recycled water project entailrecharging the Seaside groundwater basin with high qualitypurified wastewater.

That project might not come to fruition since officialsfrom the water district and Salinas Valley have so far beenunable to strike a deal, though the delays in the desal project’sEIR will allow more time for negotiations between the par-ties.

Big Sur reads The Pine Cone

By KELLY NIX

A PROPOSED Senate bill to help cut the cost ofCalifornia American Water’s proposed desalination plant bymore than $60 million is one step away from reality afterovercoming another hurdle this week.

On Wednesday, the State Senate unanimously passedSB936, which proposes to trim the cost of the Marina desaloperation to ratepayers by using low-interest water bonds tohelp fund it. The bill, authored by Sen. Bill Monning, has sofar cruised through the legislative channels.

“It’s off to the governor’s desk now,” Carmel Mayor JasonBurnett — who sits on the mayors’ water group — told ThePine Cone. “We will be reaching out to his office to makesure he understands all the local support for this.”

Burnett credited Monning with doing much of the leg-work for the bill.

“This project will help to address the mandatory waterreductions facing the Monterey Peninsula,” Monning said ina press release, “and provide assistance in the development ofa desalination plant, as well as conveyance and storage facil-ities, in conjunction with Cal Am.”

If approved by Gov. Jerry Brown, the bill will direct theCalifornia Public Utilities Commission to authorize the useof “Water Rate Relief Bonds,” which are estimated to savePeninsula ratepayers more than $8 million in the first yearafter the desal plant is constructed and cumulative savings asmuch as $66 million, according to Monning. A surchargePeninsula water customers pay Cal Am would be diverted tohelp pay for the bonds.

The bonds are tax exempt and structured to minimize bor-rowing costs by qualifying for AAA credit ratings, whichmeans lower customer rates. The bill essentially replaces Cal

Legislation to trim costof Marina desal plantheaded to governor

The lineup features Filthy Still of Providence, R.I.; andCarrie Nation and Speakeasy, of Wichita, Kan. Besides

Led by brothers Jarrod and Zach Starling, Carrie Nationand Speakeasy play an eclectic blend of punk, bluegrass, anddixieland.

“Breakneck mandolin solos melt into blaring tromboneand trumpet lines, while the standup bass and feed buckettrap set churn out driving rhythms that carry the force of aKansas freight train,” they boast in their biography.

The music starts at 7 p.m. and there’s no cover. TheAmerican Legion hall is located on Doloresbetween Eighth and Ninth. Visitwww.alpost512carmel.org.

The two bands also play Monday, Aug.25, at the Maiden Publick House in Big Sur.The show begins at 8 p.m. and there’s nocover. The pub is located on Highway 1 about24 miles south of Carmel. Call (831) 667-2355.

n Some things stay the sameWhile Filthy Still and friends reinvent the

high lonesome sound of bluegrass, singerand guitarist Terry Shehorn has little desireto change the music he loves. In fact, 50years after joining his first garage band, he’sstill playing many of the same classic rock’n’ roll songs he did as a 16-year-old in 1963.

Backed by The Hornets —

Mountain music gets makeover, human jukebox rocks the plazasharing a mutual affection for head-banging mountain music,both acts show a literary talent for describing their sound.

Featuring singer Jesse Roderick and guitarist MattOlson, Filthy Still plays a hybrid of “folk-punk-bluegrasswith a dash of classic rock that’ll leave you feeling likeyou’ve danced a jig, reveled into that good night, and beenknocked in the head with a hammer,” according to theirFacebook page.

Photographers try something new,artists paint for charity

By CHRIS COUNTS

SINCE THE first photographic imageswere captured in the early 19th century,someone has always been trying to discovera new way to accomplish the task.

Showcasing the innovative camera tech-niques of five generations of photographers,an exhibit, “Alternative Lineage,” opensSaturday, Aug. 23, at the Center forPhotographic Art.

Included in the show are photographs byHenry Holmes Smith, Betty Hahn, BrianTaylor, Shelby Graham, BinhDanh and Jane Lindsay. The artists employ

a dizzying variety of alternative photograph-ic techniques and processes, includingdaguerreotypes, cyanotypes, gum bichro-mates, VanDykes, tintypes, chlorophyllprints, Polaroid transfers, video, sculptureand mixed media digital prints.

Smith, who died in 1986, was known asone of the most influential teachers of fineart photography in the mid-20th century.Hahn was one of his prize pupils, and she inturn inspired Graham to stretch her creativeboundaries. “Her work changed my view ofwhat you can do with photography,” said

An image by Binh Danh(left) was created by aphotographic processthat uses photosynthesisto create a “chlorofyllprint” on the surface ofleaf. Dahn is one of fivephotographers whosework is featured in anexhibit opening Saturdayat the Center forPhotographic Art.

Jim Schultze is excited his new tasting room is nowpart of the Carmel Wine Walk by-the-Sea.

Windy Oaks, a Taste of Italy,and a Night Under the Sea

JIM AND Judy Schultze opened theirWindy Oaks tasting room in Su Vecino Courtacross from Jack London’s pub a couple ofweeks ago, received a warm welcome fromtheir courtyard neighbors, and are alreadyenjoying some foot traffic intheir new storefront. But theiraddition to the Carmel WineWalk by-the-Sea should bringmore visitors to the tastingroom, Jim said Tuesday.

“The new materials shouldbe out this week, so now thereare 14 wineries in the Wine Walk,” whichcosts $65 for a nine-ticket passport that can

be used at participating tasting rooms, hesaid. “You can use the tickets any way youwant.”

For example, all nine could be used by agroup of friends at one venue, if everyone

wanted to taste, or a couple could split thetastings and visit nine of the 14. They don’texpire and can be purchased at the CarmelVisitor Center on San Carlos Street south ofFifth Avenue.

“It’s a very collegial industry, and evenbefore people start getting passports with ourname in them, we’ve already gotten a lot ofreferrals from other wineries,” Schultze said,adding that his is one of two tasting roomsnorth of Ocean Avenue, the other being DeTierra at Mission and Fifth. Concours Weekwas slow for business, but visits from wineclub members — who receive about 80 per-cent of the wine he makes — kept thingsgoing in the tasting room anyway. Now thatthe streets are open and it’s back to normal,Windy Oaks should see a nice bump in traf-fic.

“We have a lot of wine club members inthe area, and they come to the tasting room,but the passport program will really allowpeople to find out about us and come over tothis side of Ocean,” he said. “Obviously, anyplace in town is not a very far walk! As anew tasting room in this area that’s kind ofunknown and located where there aren’tother tasting rooms near us, the programshould help jumpstart our opening.”

Schultze, whose wines are produced athis winery in Corralitos, bottles from hisown estate vineyard, which has 15 acres ofPinot Noir and one acre of Chardonnay, andalso buys fruit from several MontereyCounty vineyards. The first grower he con-tracted with was Doug Meador, a longtimelocal grape farmer who sells him Sauvignon

Blanc, Pinot Gris, Grenache and Tempranillo grapes.Scultze’s wife, Judy (who was born in Carmel), runs the

wine club, while their younger son, Spencer, is assistantwinemaker, and their older son, James, is working in market-ing and PR, and runs the tasting room. “We’re becomingmore and more of a family winery,” he said.

Fans should thank Spencer for wanting a role in the familybusiness, because his arrival meant the Schultzes needed tomake more wine than they could from their little estate vine-yard.

“We’re not really big enough to support him financially,so we decided we needed to make additional wine,” heexplained. “Monterey was the obvious place to turn, becausethere are so many unique terroir in Monterey, and reallyexcellent growing spots for almost any varietal you can thinkof.”

As a result, Schultze is now working with eight differentlocal vineyards and will be producing a MontereyChardonnay, a Grenache rosé, a Syrah and a sparklingAlbariño, which is a Spanish varietal he’s getting from MarkChesebro at Cedar Lane. He’s also buying Pinot Noir fromone of the vineyards in the Chalone area that Dick Graffplanted more than a half-century ago.

“As I’ve gotten to know vineyards in Monterey, I havegotten to see how great the farming is,” Schultze added.“They have really high standards.”

To check out Windy Oaks wines, which are offered in a$10 basic flight and a $15 premium flight, stop by the tastingroom in the courtyard located north of Sixth Avenue andaccessible from either Dolores or Lincoln streets. Hours are2 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and noon to 7 p.m.Friday through Sunday.

Editor’s note: Last week cartoonist Owen Cook — who invented the strip “Police Log,”based on actual police calls reported in The Pine Cone over the last 20 years — movedon to other projects. This week we introduce the creative genius who is taking over theproject: David Domeniconi, who grew up in San Francisco, attended SF State andmoved to Carmel with his wife, Janet Howell, in 1987. Janet became director of theCarmel Art Association and David went on to write and illustrate a column, “Daytrip” inThe Pine Cone from 1997 to 1999, a reincarnated version of which ran in the SantaBarbara News-Press from 2001 to 2006. David has written four children’s books forSleeping Bear Press, including “G is for Golden, a California Alphabet,” illustrated byartist Pam Carroll. Nowadays, he and Janet operate a gallery in Healdsburg.

Election Next Week

The primary election takes place next Tuesday. At Salinas,County Clerk Joy and his assistants are busy preparing forthe event. The sample ballots are being prepared for mailing,and will be in the hands of voters this week. The ballots areof various colors, as follows: Republican, cream;Democratic, blue; Progressive, green; Prohibitionist, pink;Socialistic, salmon, and non-partisan, white.

The man or woman who belittles the importance of a pri-mary either does not understand it or is indifferent. Its pur-pose is to have the people select their own candidates, insteadof leaving it to the bosses. Exercise your privilege. The totalregistration in Monterey County is now 8,284.

In spite of other claims, Carmel remainsan artists’ colony amid sheer beauty

Carmel — the home of artist, writer, musician, craftsman— is known far and wide essentially for its artists and thescenic beauty of the surrounding country of which it is thegeographic and cultural center. The village — Carmel claimsto be a city, but it clings to its old shoes, lightless and side-walkless streets, pines, oaks, chaparral, and quaint ways — is

composed of all those who disdain submerging themselves ina busy world which has no time for anything beyond the get-ting of nourishment, clothes, cars, and luxuries, the productsof pelf, meager or great.

So, we claim that Carmel, in spite of its outward signs ofcommercial prosperity, is still an art colony for the artist, thepearl in his oyster — to swing a literary haymaker — but wedo not thereby wish to exclude our neighborly artists ofMonterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel Highlands or the Valleyfrom our circle. These artists we share with the whole world,their audience. They, it must truly be said, are in a large meas-ure responsible for Carmel retaining its reputation as a placeof creative workers and artists.

John Cage to Lecture on Modern PercussionMusic at Miss Lial’s

Many of his compositionshave been written especially for the Cornish School Dancers,and he is continuing his work with the Cornish School inSeattle.

Church Plans to Build Near Hatton Fields

An application is now being prepared asking for a use per-mit from the county for the construction of a church in theHatton Fields area. The Community Church of the MontereyPeninsula has selected a 4.2-acre site on which to build achurch.

The land selected by the church congregation at arecent meeting is now zoned residential, and a use permitmust be obtained from the Monterey County Board of Zoning

Adjustments before plans can be finalized. A church is acomforting use in this area, if a use permit is granted.

Fire Last Night

Fire, presumably caused by the pet dog dragging a rugacross the living room furnace, caused $1,000 property dam-age and an estimated $400 household furniture damage, inthe home of J.C. Hall at Casanova and Ninth last night. Thealarm was put in by neighbors at 8:21 p.m. The CarmelVolunteer Fire Department responded with two pieces ofequipment. Upon arrival it was found that the blaze in the liv-ing room was controlled. A smoke ejector was used to clearthe house; the burning rug removed, the furnace, described bythe firefighters as “sizzling” was cooled.

Carmel Area Athletes Swim Way to Victory

Three members of the local Cypress Swim Club cappedoff their 1989 competitive season in synchronized swimming(the very newest Olympic sport) by winning gold medals inevery event entered at the 1989 XXIII AAU National JuniorOlympic Games last week in San Antonio, Texas. The three-some — consisting of Desiree Castro, 14, of Carmel; JulieKorper, 13, also of Carmel; and Heather Pease, 13, of CarmelValley — brought home a total of seven gold medals in the13-14 age group Solo, Duet, Trio, and Compulsory Figuresevents. In the final competition, first the trio of Castro,Korper, and Pease scored an upset come-from-behind victoryover the leading Mesa, Ariz., and Santa Clara teams to wintheir first national gold medals ever in the Trio event. ThenCastro and Pease, who led in the semifinal round of Duetcompetition, but were edged to second in the finals by a Duetfrom Cincinnati, Ohio, moved back into the first-place spotonce the scores from the Compulsory Figures were added andthus claimed the gold medals in that event also. Of the Solosemifinals earlier in the week, the San Antonio Express-Newssports headlines read, “Californian Turns Judges’ Heads withGraceful Swimming,” and Jerry Garcia of that paper wrote,“But at the end of the day’s competition, the only thing thatstuck in the seven judges’ heads were the performances, ofwhich 13-year-old Heather Pease of Carmel Valley,California, was the best.”

Patricia McClaran1931-2014

CARMEL - Patricia “Patty” McClaran died peacefully in her sleep late Thursdayevening, August 14th, after a yearlong illness. She was 83. Patty, along with her iden-tical twin sister Ann, was born February 7th, 1931 in Washington, D.C., to RearAdmiral John Walter (USN) and Stephana McClaran. They grew up in Honolulu HI,where they attended Punahou School, and later lived in Santa Barbara, where theygraduated from Laguna Blanca School and attended UCSB. An avid lover of horses,Patty spent her childhood riding her triple gaited quarter horse Good Companionthrough the Southern California hills. She also shared childhood memories of learningto surf on Waikiki Beach, combing for shells in the Florida Keys, walking to school inCoronado and playing tennis, an activity she enjoyed through adulthood, playing atseveral athletic clubs in Northern California.

A resident of Orinda, California for more than 25 years, Patty provided a supportiveand loving home environment for her four children. In later years, Ms. McClaran wasactive in retail management throughout California. She was a manager for the Books,Inc. chain in San Francisco and Carmel and she was also responsible for revamping anddirecting the Museum Store for the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. In herspare time she enjoyed pottery and art, working out at the Mission Ranch, and trips toLondon, Paris and New York with members of her family. When at home, Patty lovedcooking, staying current with politics and was always in the middle of a good book.

Patty was described by friends and family as the epitome of grace and courage - espe-cially during her difficult final year. Even in the face of her darkest days, she main-tained an incredible sense of humor and humility. Her spirit of kindness had a uniqueand profoundly positive influence on all those around her.

Ms. McClaran was preceded in death by her half-sister Lt. Jane Cassedy and her half-brother Col. William Cassedy. She is survived by her brother Commander StephenMcClaran of Chapel Hill, NC, and her sister Ann Brown Hart of Sheridan, WY. Shewill also be greatly missed by her children: Paul (Misty) Dini of Burbank, CA, Bruce(Elizabeth) Dini of Carmel, CA, Jane (Robert “Skip” Smith) Dini-Smith Ph.D., ofGrosse Pointe, MI, and Stephen (Lisa) Dini of Mill Valley, CA, her grandchildren,Caitlin and Matthew Dini, Peter Smith, and Anne and Louisa Dini, and cherishednephews and nieces.

The family is planning a memorial service and celebration of life to be held in SanFrancisco on Sunday, September 14. They ask that in lieu of flowers donations be madeto the American Cancer Society.

For the love of cars and dogsBy JOHANNA SHERRILL

WITH ALL the car shows in town lastweek, what struck me was that the pomp andcircumstance were very similar to what youfind at a fancy dog show (think WestminsterKennel Club, and rent “Best in Show” for afew good laughs about show dog shenani-gans). It will be a very long time before carsrise to the level of prominence that dogs havein town — but cars and dogs can certainlyoccupy equal ground in the minds of fanciersall over the world.

There’s a theory that dog owners and theirdogs resemble one another. A stout, round-faced athlete and his bulldog: a sweet grand-ma and her Cavalier King Charles spanielwith matching hairdos. Next time you see apair (dog and owner) strolling somewhere,put the theory to test — it’s actually prettytrue! And if looks don’t necessarily match,then often enough, temperaments do. Ananxious poodle and its wide-eyed owner. Ora low-key college student with his happy-go-lucky Lab.

Perhaps you will have an observationafter all the car hoopla this week aboutwhether the same is true for car owners andtheir cars. Do car fanciers pick their dogs tomatch their taste in cars? Or did the dogcome first and the car get chosen to accom-modate the style, e.g., a black-spottedDalmatian dog in a bright red convertible?Or what about a triple play: A car, a dog andthe owner all matching in style, look and atti-tude. Maybe a standard French poodle pairof dogs walking a tall thin, coutured coupletoward a sleek European ride.

There are a few Italian breeds of dogs(whippet, greyhound), but I can’t think ofany worthy of a Ferrari. An English bull mas-tiff could pull off inspiration for an Aston-Martin or Rolls-Royce, although the slobberfactor sort of ruins the royalty aspects in myhumble opinion. A German shepherd orRottweiler in a BMW or VW?

When I discussed canine and car fascina-tions with my 8-year-old, she was quick topoint out all the similarities between cars anddogs: four legs for movement, beautiful exte-riors (especially when well cared for), com-panionship, protection and recreation — and

how we adore putting both together. Naturalobservations, to be sure. Her little teacupYorkie sits beside her in the carseat andbarks at anyone nearing the window at anytime. A built-in organic car alarm, andportable at that.

On almost any trip one may make aroundour town, dogs can be seen in their owners’cars. They ride on their laps, sit in passengerseats, or run the full length of the back seator cargo area while in motion. They sticktheir heads out of the windows in the direc-tion of travel. They want to see where the carride will end. It’s interesting to see particu-larly hairy, large, or messy breeds positionedhappily anywhere in their owner’s car, shed-ding, slobbering, scratching the leather withtheir nails, and the owner seemingly un-ruf-fled. For all the activity that car washes anddetailers get, it’s amusing to note the easewith which dogs make their way inside toundo all that handiwork.

While coming home very late oneevening from a trip to L.A. where we pickedout our little Yorkie pup, I was stopped by abear-like Carmel police officer who caughtme holding my cell phone. He saw the puppyin my lap and told me that while I was get-ting a ticket for the cellular use, he wouldoverlook the dog in my lap — apparently, adriver can’t have a pet in her lap while oper-ating a car. To add insult to injury, the puppypeed in my lap when the officer came to thewindow. I paid $360 instead of somethingeven worse. Perhaps outside of Carmel’sdog-friendliness, I would not have been solucky.

So while we all love to bring our pets withus as we drive, it is important to guard our-selves against canine distractions whichmight end in a vehicular mishap or fine.

Dogs can’t deal well with the heat thatcan build in a parked car, even if it seemscomfortable to us. They don’t sweat like us;instead they pant to release heat from themouth and tongue. Their exposed footpadscan dissipate some heat, but even 70 degreescan translate to more than 100 degrees in aparked car, in spite of shade. Heat stress cankill a dog. In Burbank, they will remove your

comments from readers supporting the busi-ness proposal, though most of the speakers atlast week’s hearing were against the idea.

The California Coastal Commission —which must issue a coastal development per-mit before the business can open its doors— has so far looked askance at the idea.

Staff member Mike Watson said the pro-posal “appears inconsistent” to what theBeach House is permitted to do. The stateagency wants the owners to host a tenant inthe small space that would offer some sort of

Resident Ed Lake said the proposal is a“wonderful opportunity for the city.” AndCaroline Main with the Pacific GroveChamber of Commerce encouraged the cityto approve the permit, saying the businesswould have minimal impact because it wouldserve people already visiting the area.

Coletti believes the proposal violates whatthe coastal commission had intended for thespace and said the permits the city issued arean “absolute outrage” and are “illegal.”

“To have done so, when the coastal com-mission staff has repeatedly warned againstit, he said, “makes this even more outra-geous.”

Editorial

CCN a welcome addition — maybe

IT’S DIFFICULT to know what to think about the Internet “news” service

city administrator Jason Stilwell is launching to help fulfill a city council

promise for more “openness.”

In fact, until we see what the website — which looks like it mainly will be a

blog site for him and his No. 1 assistant, Susan Paul — contains, we have no idea

whether it will be a welcome enhancement to the flow of information coming

from city hall, or just a bunch of self-serving happy talk.

In an email to members of his city hall “team,” Stilwell said it would “keep

locals informed about everything happening in our community.”

Everything?

That hardly seems likely. We’re pretty sure you’ll still have to turn to The Pine

Cone to learn about anything Stilwell doesn’t want you to know.

But we’re glad he’s starting it. As we have explained many times, here at The

Pine Cone, all we want is information — and as much of it as possible. So we

urge Stilwell to do his best to put “everything” on his site. We’ll certainly be

looking at it as frequently as we can.

Of course, we won’t necessarily take whatever we find there at face value,

and neither will many of the people in town. We’ll have questions and be making

requests for more information, just like we do with city council agendas, plan-

ning commission actions, hirings and firings in city departments, budgets, land

use controversies, enforcement actions, fees and taxes, capital projects, environ-

mental issues, and everything else we can think of that’s the public’s business.

Nevertheless, more openness at city hall is a welcome trend, and we say, “Go

for it, Mr. City Administrator.”

However, we have a question: If city hall suddenly wants locals to be

informed about “everything happening in our community,” why was Leslie

Fenton fired?

By the city’s own admission, she was fired, in part, for providing information

to The Pine Cone. Meanwhile, there’s been no proof that whatever she gave us

was one of the (very few) types of things the city is allowed to keep secret. We

certainly aren’t aware of being given anything by her that was out of bounds or

confidential in the slightest. So the only conclusion that can be reached is that,

even though Fenton may have given The Pine Cone information, that informa-

tion was no more than routine city business — the kind of thing The Pine Cone

has reported throughout its 100-year history, and which we have always had easy

access to at city hall. At least, until Stilwell and Paul got there.

It’s very important, of course, that government be allowed to keep as few

secrets as possible, because when officials do things behind closed doors, they

frequently end up betraying the public trust. Openness in government is one of

our nation’s most essential principles.

So forgive us for being skeptical about Stilwell’s intentions when it comes to

telling the community “everything,” because just a few months ago, he fired

someone for telling anything.

L e t t e r sto the Editor

Too much public information?Dear Editor:

Last Friday The Pine Cone reported thatCarmel City Attorney, Don Freeman,“promised to beat our fire department’sthree-minute response time” to respond toPublic Records Access requests. Perhaps thereporter misheard him. Freeman kicked offthe open public meeting by reading theCalifornia’s Public Records Act, and thensaid that Carmel intends to far exceedCalifornia’s standards. All city records arenow defined to be public records and will bemade available to the public, with a fewexceptions such as personnel records andclosed council meetings.

He also stated that the public should nowconsider city hall as a “glass building.” Heused the Carmel Fire Department’s underthree-minute response time as an analogy,not a promise. Anyone with a PRA requestwho approaches a city hall customer servicewindow, or communicates by phone or letter,will receive an immediate response, if possi-ble. And he said that city hall employees arenow trained to drop what they are doing andgive immediate attention to serve PRArequests.

I applaud city hall’s new emphasis onmore customer-focused service and opencommunications with the public. However, Iam concerned that this new policy mighthave gone too far. City hall workers need

time to focus, concentrate on and completetheir regular prioritized workloads. I don’tthink this work should not be sacrificed tosatisfy immediate PRA requests. In the busi-ness world, customer focus is important forbusiness success. Taken to an extreme how-ever, customer focus can become “customer-compelled,” which is when a staff tries to sat-isfy every whim or desire of its customersimmediately. Such businesses tend not tosurvive. Certainly adjusting workloads andadopting quicker more customer-focusedresponse times can be achieved to meetCarmel’s new PRA response time policywithout its becoming customer-compelled. Responding to Public RecordsAccess requests is not the same as respond-ing to a fire.

‘Government out of control’Dear Editor,

On August 5, approximately 100 citizensof Carmel-by-the-Sea marched on city halland its elected officials carrying with themsome 550 signatures demanding that the citycouncil request and accept the resignation ofcity administrator Jason Stilwell.

Subsequent to that event, the city councilhas been provided a detailed list of ill-advised actions taken by the city administra-tor that have shamed one of the premier des-tinations in the United States. These actionshave demonstrated exceptionally poor judg-ment to say the least.

In response to the demands of the com-munity, the council has elected to placate itscitizens with a proclamation that “this is a

Warming for up a hot tomatoAS A kid, I avoided most vegetables.

And no wonder. Mom’s idea of a salad was alimp slab of iceberg lettuce with a few coinsof canned beets and a glob of Miracle Whip.Mom thought vegetables grew in cans. Shedidn’t have a lot of time to spend in thekitchen, so her sous chef was Del Monte. Iused to kid her about her cooking. I told

audiences that my mother was such a lousycook that pygmies flew in from Africa to diptheir arrows in her soup.

She was a good laugher.Today I’m a prodigious procurer of pre-

mium produce. Pondering the plethora oflocal farmers markets — we’re in the land ofplenty. Some of the finest fruits and vegeta-bles grown are right here at our fingertips.

At this moment in our kitchen are plentyof farmers market finds: baby turnips fromCarmel, pluots from the Barnyard, basil fromMonterey, Japanese eggplant from Marina,and, from MPC, tomatoes, tomatoes andmore tomatoes. I’m a pushover for a goodtomato.

If I told my wife that I fell for a hot toma-to the only thing she’d ask is, “Heirloom orEarly Girl?”

Lately I’m crazy about Celebrity toma-toes. I buy ’em by the bag. Nothing betterthan slurping a couple in the car on the wayhome, a capella. No salt, no olive oil, nonothing except a napkin to save the shirt.

I grew up in New Jersey, where the beef-steak tomatoes are legendary. But as a boy, Inever heard of them. In our house, we hadtwo kinds of tomatoes: canned and ketchup.

I was 30 years old before I found outabout Jersey tomatoes. By then I was livingin New York City, where buying a decenttomato required a bank loan. The coststrained my starving comedian’s budget, butI had to have them. So during the height ofthe season, to support my tomato habit, Iskipped buying luxuries, such as gas for thecar.

Only once do I remember not liking ripetomatoes.

It was New Year’s Eve. I had been a come-dian 20 minutes. I hit the road with nothingbut a dream and a spotlessly clean act. Youhad to have clean material in those days inorder to get on television. That was my goal.

I landed a gig in a swanky joint inPhoenix City, Ala. I was the opening act withthe strip tease artiste Narda and Her Doves.Narda’s costume consisted of a few flimsyveils which her doves removed one by one.To give you an idea how classy this estab-lishment was, a guy in the front row waspicking his teeth with a rusty hunting knife.

They introduced me exactly at midnight.The crowd whooped and hollered andstomped their boots. A barrage of beer bot-tles sailed through the air.

I was so naïve I thought the enthusiasticreception was because they appreciated mynew tuxedo. A few seconds into my act Irealized my mistake. The booing was a clue.They wanted me gone so they could seeNarda. Then the guy with the dental flossBowie knife yelled, “Get off the stage, you

Yankee scum.” Actually he did not use those precise

words, but this is a family newspaper.Shortly after that, the tomatoes hit the fan.Years later, tomato seeds were still embed-ded in the pockets of that tuxedo.

Fast forward several years. I get a book-ing at the Montauk Manor out on Long

Island. The hotel was compingme a double room, so I invitedmy friend, Barney Balaban,along. Barney was the region-al distributor for MGM films,a tough, lonely job. To easethe pressure wherever hewent, he brought along his

best friend, Johnny Walker.Barney had a sense of humor. He once

admitted to me, “I only drink to forget, andthe only thing I forget is when to stop.”

We arrived at the hotel, and while I waschecking in, Barney made a beeline for astool at the bar, where he renewed the mutualaffection with his buddy, Mr. Walker.

That night, he came to the theater just intime to catch my act. Stood in the back,hooch in hand, of course. The only time I sawhim without a drink was early the next morn-ing, when he finally hit the hay.

I finished my gig, crawled into bed andfell asleep. Barney returned to the bar until itclosed and stumbled in sometime in the weehours. That turned out to be a good thing forme. Barney had a big nose. His probosciswas so large it made Jimmy Durante’sschnozzola look like a rosebud. WhenBarney snored, the covers of his twin bedflapped like sails in a regatta, the curtainsbillowed, and the mini bar clattered. It waslike having Hurricane Sandy for a room-mate.

The next day, we headed back toManhattan. Barney was lively as road killslumped in the passenger seat behind black-out sunglasses.

“Cripes, that place is expensive,” hecomplained. “You know how much doughthey soaked me for booze?”

“How much?”“Couple of C-notes.” “Maybe you should’ve knocked off a little

earlier.” “Naw, hell,” he said. “You only live once.

What’s a couple hundred dollars for some-thing you enjoy?”

I’m thinking, ‘what kind of idiot spends200 bucks on a bar tab?’

Just then I spot a farm stand beside theroad and swerve to a stop.

“What are you doing?” Barney asks.“I want to check out their produce.”The tomatoes were big as melons, juicy

and sweet, with samples for tasting. At halfthe tomato prices in Manhattan. I take theentire box, 5 dollar’s worth, and lug mythrilling purchase back to the car. When westart down the road again, Barney says,“How much did they charge you for toma-toes?”

“The whole box was 5 dollars,” I tell him.“Are you crazy?” he exclaims. “What

kind of idiot spends 5 dollars on tomatoes?” Carmel resident Larry Wilde is a former

standup comedian and the author of 53 pub-lished books of humor. With sales over 12million copies the New York Times hasdubbed him, “America’s Best SellingHumorist.”

Wilde TimesBy LARRY WILDE

Reporting to the ‘content coach’WHAT THE daily newspapers in

Monterey County need is a reporter to coverthe patriotism beat.

That’s right. Patriotism.Our pioneering friends at the Gannett-

owned newspaper in Pensacola, Fla., haveannounced that one of the publication’s 16newsroom positions will be devoted to cov-

ering patriotism. The new position is a result of Gannett’s

recent “Picasso” initiative, named after thefounder of Cubism and the master of collage.

Under Gannett’s tender-loving direction,journalism at its local newspapers is drivensolely by metrics, and journalists are expect-ed to be marketers and “community connec-tors.” In Pensacola, the metrics apparentlyshowed that readers had a voracious appetitefor patriotism.

But when the going gets tough in thenewspaper business, the savvy newsroommanager will always turn to Gannett for theright answers.

The big brains at Gannett are constantlycrunching the numbers, analyzing the met-rics, and announcing terrific new initiativesguaranteed to make them the laughingstockof American journalism while their dailycommunity newspapers die on the vine.

It was Gannett, after all, that revolution-ized the industry by designing every page ofits national newspaper, USA Today, in thefashion of the Sunday comics.

Gannett was also among the first newspa-per chains to reject the quaint notion thatlocal newspapers are a public trust so that itmight fully embrace the benefits of free-market capitalism.

The owners of virtually every newspaperchain in America — including the goombahswho pull the strings at The Herald from somepadded cell thousands of miles away — haveembraced Gannett’s transformative vision.

They storm their brains until they developbrainstorms, which they unleash as newstrategies, schemes and enterprises on anear-weekly basis. The results have beenmixed.

For the most part, each new brainstorm isfollowed closely by a new round of layoffsthat inevitably doom their initiatives beforethey have a chance to succeed. Happily, thelayoffs improve shareholder confidence,which is pretty much the function of newspa-per chains these days.

Alas, few newspaper chain operators canmatch the inventiveness of Gannett’s fiascos,but not because they aren’t trying. The non-

Gannettoids lack the clarity of purpose andthe imagination required to truly emulate theGannett model of journalistic farce, possiblybecause they aren’t clever enough to nametheir initiatives after notable artists.

Give it enough time and someone fromGannett will come up with the JacksonPollock initiative, a strategy involving the

marketing of page-one spatter.The only guarantee that

comes with each of the newerand dopier initiatives is thatthe corporate-level boneheadswho dream them up will berewarded with promotions andmassive bonuses.

So the folks who came up with PensacolaNews Journal’s new job descriptions shouldlook forward to nice big bonus checks thisChristmas.

According to jimromenesko.com, whichserves as the go-to gossip and news site forjournalists, reporters in Pensacola will beasked to “grow a fan base” and to serve as“public ambassadors.” And the journalists inPensacola will report to a supervisor knownas a “content coach,” a position that wasknown simply as an “editor” back in theunsophisticated age of journalism.

The Pensacola journalists will also beworking with an “engagement editor,” whowill report to a “customer experience direc-tor” responsible for ensuring that journalistsfocus on the “passion topics” readers expectto find in their newspapers.

The preceding paragraph apparentlyaccounts for how the News Journal came upwith its patriotism beat.

Perhaps the engagement editor inPensacola should borrow from AmbroseBierce to further describe the duties of thepatriotism reporter. More than 120 yearsago, Bierce described patriotism as “com-bustible rubbish read to the torch of anyoneambitious to illuminate his name.”

Bierce, by the way, disagreed with the oldaphorism that patriotism is the last resort ofthe scoundrel, insisting that it is the first.

He also noted that patriotism is the play-ground for the populist, which he kindlydescribes as a fossil “found in the old redsoapstone underlying Kansas, characterizedby an uncommon spread of ear.”

These days, Bierce would accurately con-clude that the content managers in Pensacolabelieve they are cynically pandering to thegoobers and rubes in their community.

Which is why it’s not a stretch to expectthat Monterey County’s daily newspaperswill soon have their own patriotismreporters.

And people who still care about the coremission of journalism will refer to this latestinnovation as a Pensacolonoscopy.

On their one-acre farm inCarmel Valley, they’ll delight you with an array of beautifuledibles and their clear dedication to sustainability — whichis not a fad for Paradise Catering. They were growing theirown food long before Michael Pollan published, “The

Omnivore’s Dilemma,” and Barbara Kingsolver wrote,“Animal, Vegetable, Mineral.” When the locavore, farm-to-table juggernaut was in its infancy, Kasky and Rohan werealready collecting rainwater in tanks and composting kitchenscraps. Rohan’s lived on the farm for nearly 40 years; Jonjoined her there 13 years ago and helped her expand theexisting gardens until they were using the whole property togrow food.

Both Kasky and Rohan have solid culinary resumes.Kasky went to the Cordon Bleu in the 1980s (with some fel-low named Wolfgang Puck — they thought we should men-tion him), while Rohan’s been more of a hands-on learner.

“I really learned from my Grandma Edna,” she explained.“I was a very picky eater. My parents would just drop me offat her house.”

Grandma Edna would tie an apron on little Nancy andteach her to cook something — which she then readily con-sumed.

Rohan said she started catering with the late SharonCampbell, who was a highly regarded pastry chef at theMonterey Plaza until her untimely death in 2007. Back in theday, though, Campbell and Rohan were two cooks runningOntrays in Carmel Valley, and Rohan loved it — and lovedlearning from Campbell. Even though she’s taken classesfrom the likes of Charlie Trotter, she credited Kasky withproviding the bulk of her expertise.

“We get enthused.” We look forward to enjoying the fruits ofthat enthusiasm for a long time to come!

Kasky and Rohan: Sharing Paradise on a plate for more than 25 years“Jon’s taught me so much in the last 26 years,” she said.Rave reviews of Paradise Catering abound. Even on Yelp,

where malcontents often rule, effusive write-ups of Paradiseaccompany four- and five-star ratings. Weddingwire.compresented them with a 2014 Couples’ Choice award forMonterey area caterers, based solely on their users’ reviews.If you’ve had their food, you know it’s a feast for the eyes andthe palate. Whether it’s deviled eggs from their free-rangechickens or scarlet Moulin Rouge sunflowers on the table,their offerings are downright vibrant.

Outstanding service is another key to the couple’s success.Rohan swears she’s never had a bridezilla; that’s probablybecause she takes an intense interest in pleasing what sherefers to as “her brides.”

“People say I’m crazy, but I love weddings,” she said. “It’ssuch a happy day and I love the joy I see in the families.”

Kasky concurred: “I get to share a special day with greatpeople ... for my work!”

He said he enjoys wowing the guests with items like hissignature tie-dyed butter. With colorful edible flower petalsblended into butter and served alongside sourdough bread, itrepresents California on a plate.

Unsurprisingly, the couple found themselves booked solidthis year.

“I don’t have a day off until after December 14,” Rohansaid.

Somehow, in the midst of that whirlwind, she and Kaskyfound time to participate in Cooking for Solutions and help— once again — with a fundraiser for Animal FriendsRescue Project. They also cater breakfast and lunch atLaguna Seca during races.

When business wanes in winter, the couple likes to take afew weeks off to travel. They pick a different country everyyear. This year, thanks to Kasky, it looks as if they’re off toThailand. Day-to-day, the same garden that provides theiringredients also offers solace. “He’s really Farmer Jon in dis-guise,” Rohan said of Kasky. “And when we get home, welike going out at night and picking the tomatoes. It’s a kindof therapy.”

Although the work is physically demanding, the two haveno retirement plans. “We still love what we do,” they said.

In addition to this response by the city, the council hasadvised the community that as a result of the city govern-ment’s need to respond to these agitators, the city will haveto postpone for at least a year the revitalization of the ScenicAvenue walkway, the entrances to Mission Trail Park and thecoordination of a campus plan for the Sunset Center, three ofthe most visible and iconic landmarks of the community(read, citizens must be taught that criticism of the govern-ment — sedition — will have adverse consequences).

The community is expecting that the council’s request forthe resignation of Stilwell be placed on the upcomingSeptember 2 council agenda. The refusal to take this request-ed action should be viewed as a demonstration of the contin-

Plastic bag ban ‘offensive’ and ‘misguided’Dear Editor,

Recent articles have noted the cascade of local cities (aswell as the unincorporated parts of the county) to ban plasticshopping bags. The city/county politicians involved followthe lead of others like lemmings. They place politics over rea-soned and appropriate governance. They apparently do notunderstand the concept that plastic biodegradable bags havebeen available for some time; and that for wet items they arefar more useful than paper or canvas. Plastic bags are also farmore valuable for reuse than paper, which turns to mushwhen wet. It apparently has also escaped these politiciansthat repeated re-use of canvas bags is unhygienic forfood/produce unless cleaned in some fashion. Cleaningmeans expending more water which we do not have in excessin this region.

Even if they can sustain an argument against biodegrad-

able plastic bags (which I have not seen addressed), what isgovernmental justification for imposing a fee on paper bags?Since when is it appropriate for government to set “conve-nience” charges for the private sector? Money that is collect-ed and goes to the stores should be a matter of commercialchoice between the stores and their customers-not a govern-ment mandate. These are not properly enacted “taxes” paidover to government, so what are they?

Somewhere along the way someone got the notion thatbanning plastic and charging for paper bags was “politicallycorrect” and somehow ennobling. Local government’s job isto provide services and find ways to promote actions whichare generally beneficial to its citizens with the least imposi-tion upon them as is feasible. In the case of this bag mania,these local governments have decided to take the most intru-sive path. They are acting autocratically and beyond the man-date of their offices.

I ask that you think about this the next time a store clerkasks you if you would like to be charged $.25 per bag-andvote in your next local election to unseat every last politicianthat voted for this offensive and misguided “legislation.”

“The parking space rental has no liability assumption orinsurance requirement,” he said, but the city does require any-one who uses city property to assume the risks of doing so.

“The installation of carpet can present a hazard (primarilya trip or slip hazard), and requiring an encroachment permitor special event permit ensures that the city will be named asan additionally insured party,” Stilwell said. “The city couldalso condition the permit to require that the carpet be ade-quately taped down as part of the permit, and this would min-imize the potential for tripping hazards.”

Generally, Stilwell said, the carpet, stanchions, or whateverelse would be covered by a temporary encroachment permit,which costs about $96 to apply for and takes about a week toprocess, via the community services department.

Tice, who said Concours Week is one of the busiest for hisclothing stores, was out at Quail Lodge setting up a booth forthe Quail Motorsports Gathering Aug. 15 when he received acall from one of his employees saying a city employee and apolice officer were at his shop.

“It’s about 11:30 a.m., and I get a call from the store that Ihave a city employee telling my staff that I need to get the redcarpet taken up immediately, and now there’s a police officerout there, and he thinks we have to take it out, but he’s notsure,” Tice said. Payton’s opinion, he said, was that since redcarpet was laid outside, he must be offering valet services,even though he wasn’t.

“She continued to insist we were valeting. I told the policeofficer we weren’t, and he said it was fine,” he said. Ticeeventually called city hall, and after being told Stilwell wasunavailable and Mayor Jason Burnett was on vacation, heasked to relay a message to retired Carmel P.D. Cpl. SteveRana, who has been working part time on special events.

“And the person at city hall asked me who Steve Ranawas!” Tice added. Rana, a longtime police officer, retired atthe end of last year with accolades, praise and a party. Anaward at the Concours on the Avenue is named for him.

Tice said he then heard from Fasulo, who promised to dosome research and see what he could do.

“He called me back and said, ‘We’ll let it stay for this year,but next year, you’re going to have to get a special event per-

Judge finds that planning department worker was not fired for ‘misconduct’By MARY SCHLEY

THE CITY has to pay Leslie Fenton unemployment, anadministrative law judge decided after Fenton, who was firedfrom her job as administrative coordinator in March, filed anappeal with the state Employment Development Department,

according to her attorney, Michelle Welsh. After putting Fenton and her workmate, Margi Perotti, on

paid leave last October, city administrator Jason Stilwellfired the two women in March. Among the charges againstFenton were that she accessed computer files she wasn’t sup-posed to and provided information to The Pine Cone.

mit,’” Tice said. “For $200 a space per day, what can I do?I’ve never seen anyone get injured from carpet that’s tapeddown. And we do have insurance. None of this makes anysense.”

Stilwell said the city is embarking on an effort to educatebusinesses about the permits required, and he said Fasulocontacted Tice, Bittner’s, Cayen Collection and Rich Pepe,who had red carpet in front of his Little Napoli restaurant.

“The outreach effort you refer to is for next year,” Stilwellsaid.

But representatives from Bittner’s denied being contactedby anyone from the city regarding the red carpet laid in tworeserved parking spaces in front of their Ocean Avenue store,and Pepe said no one bothered him about it, either.

“I had not been contacted directly by Chilone, but wasaware a few others were hassled about the red carpets. I hadasked in the past, and Steve Rana and [former communityservices assistant] Cindi Lopez told me red carpets are OK. Ihad checked on that before I had purchased them,” Pepe said.“I like the elegant look the red carpets gave to the streets andwhat a nice gesture it was to showcase these cars in such VIPfashion.”

He also said, “By definition, placing red carpets, or what-ever one wants to place in those spaces, should be no concernto the city as long as it is not a safety hazard.”

At Cayen Collection on Mission Street, where jewelerMichael Cayen holds a couple of receptions for his clientsduring Concours Week and reserves a couple of spaces infront for their expensive cars, a store representative was toldthe stanchions placed there to block the spaces also requireda temporary encroachment permit and had to be removed.

Tice said being able to dress up the parking stalls adds tothe upscale feel and festivities of Concours Week, which seesenthusiasts from all over the world descending on theMonterey Peninsula to ogle collector cars — and spendmoney. “I think the red carpet makes it even more of a specialevent — it showcases our town in a different way,” he said.“Our customers can show off their special cars in an unusualway, as well.”

Pepe said he hopes the issues will be resolved.“I do hope all will be well with some of us trying to do

interesting things during event weeks,” he said.

EMERGENCY RESPONDERS andcaregivers helped move the elderly resi-dents of Victorian Home Care to the safe-ty of their driveway late Tuesday morning,after a fire in an oven filled the first floorwith smoke.

But the blaze was confined to theoven, which firefighters pulled away fromthe wall before it could cause significantdamage to the building, and two bed-rid-den residents were allowed to stay intheir rooms after emergency personnelchecked and confirmed they were safeand OK.

Police officers blocked off the stretchof Lincoln Street between Seventh andEighth avenues where the assisted-livingfacility is located and helped coordinatethe effort, while Monterey firefightersensured the fire was out and the residentswere safe. After using a heavy-duty fan torid the facility of smoke, emergency crewsallowed the residents to go back inside.

OVEN FIRE FORCES EVACUATION OF CARE HOME

Therefore, according to the city, Fenton shouldn’t receiveunemployment benefits. But state administrative law judgeLuma Williams, who presides over the CaliforniaUnemployment Insurance Appeals Board in San Jose, ruleddifferently.

The state Unemployment Insurance Code states “an indi-vidual is disqualified for unemployment compensation bene-fits if the director finds that … she has been discharged formisconduct connected with his or her most recent work.”

And misconduct involves “willful or wanton disregard ofan employer’s interest,” disregard of standards, a high degreeof “carelessness or negligence,” “wrongful intent or evildesign,” or “an intentional and substantial disregard” of theworker’s responsibilities or the employer’s interests.

“Leslie Fenton proved at the hearing by sworn declarationthat she had no such intent, nor did she know she was doingwas anything the employer considered wrong, and she didnot intend to do wrong,” Welsh told The Pine Cone Thursday.“The City of Carmel was not damaged by any of Leslie’sactions, and in fact her services, including her efforts to com-ply with the Public Records Act, have obviously been missedby the residents of Carmel.”

No reprimandsAccording to Williams’ July 30 decision, Fenton effective-

ly rebutted the allegations Stilwell, administrative servicesdirector Susan Paul and computer expert Mark Alcock madethat she had looked at Stilwell’s email, accessed documentsbelonging to other city employees, installed software todelete files and released confidential information and docu-ments to The Pine Cone.

“Prior to discharge, the claimant did not receive repri-mands or warnings for any reason,” Williams noted.

She found Fenton made credible statements in her decla-ration that were supported by documentation from a forensicexpert, to rebut the allegations, while no one from the cityappeared at the hearing, “nor did it provide any evidence,aside from hearsay statements, to support the allegationsmade against the claimant, even though it had the opportuni-ty to do so.”

The city had the burden of proving misconduct and failed,Williams found.

“In this matter, the employer has not met its burden ofproving that the claimant substantially breached any duty orobligation owned to the employer,” she wrote. “Accordingly,the claimant was discharged for reasons other than miscon-duct,” and is therefore eligible to receive unemploymentchecks.

The city had 20 calendar days to appeal Williams’ ruling,but didn’t. Welsh said she never heard from the city at allabout the appeal or claim before or after the hearing.

Williams “made a just determination that the City ofCarmel did not prove that Leslie engaged in any miscon-duct,” she said.
