Defense: Pollacci isjust ‘self-centered’and ‘immature’

When he crossed the finish line in the inaugural Big SurInternational Marathon in 1986, it’s unlikely Hugo Ferlitoknew he would go on to run every single one thereafter,including this Sunday’s 25th presentation.

After 628.8 miles, marathon boss still wants moreBy MARY BROWNFIELD

NOT MANY people can say they decided to move tothe Monterey Peninsula because of the Big Sur Marathon.Nor can many say they have run in every single 26.2-milerace staged along the Big Sur Coast since the traditionbegan a quarter century ago. But Dr. Hugo Ferlito, chair-man of the board of the nonprofit that hosts the annualevent, can boast of both, and this Sunday, he’ll be runningup Highway 1 with several thousand other athletes in his25th Big Sur International Marathon.

“I moved to Carmel because of this,” he said. “In ’86,I came here to do the marathon and fell in love with thearea.” The following year, he brought his wife, Karen, andthe year after that, they came to call the MontereyPeninsula home.

The couple had been living in Southern California withtheir kids when Ferlito first heard about a new run beingstaged on the coastline south of Carmel. Inspired by aTanzanian who defied all odds and injuries to finish themarathon in the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, and thenby Frank Shorter, who won the event in Munich in 1972,Ferlito embarked on a love affair with long-distance run-ning.

It was during the grueling Catalina Island marathonthat a friend who had been stationed at Fort Ord urged himto run the inaugural Big Sur race in 1986. Ferlito wasunenthusiastic, telling his buddy he didn’t want to under-take another long-distance race just a month after theCatalina event.

‘Panicked’ Salyer takes bail appeal to 9th CircuitBy PAUL MILLER

AFTER ALMOST three months in jail since his arrest atJFK airport on charges of price fixing, bribery and sellingtainted produce, Scott Salyer is getting very frustrated at hisinability to make bail — so frustrated that he has been tellingfamily members he would like to take his own life.

“I’ve already had some kind of stroke or heart attack,” hesaid in a phone call to one of his daughters from jail March30. A transcript of the call was released by the governmentApril 12. “I’m in solitary confinement in a 6-by-6 concretebunker. They feed you through a slot in the floor like a dog.If I could kill myself I would do it so fast.”

And while the call may have been intended as a plea forhelp, prosecutors cited it as yet another reason to keep Salyerin jail, because during the conversation — which Salyerknew was being recorded — he also described how he hadoffered his former wife, Lynsey, $1.3 million in cash to dropher claim on a house he wants to use as collateral.Prosecutors said the existence of that money was a surpriseand increased the odds Salyer would flee if he makes bail.

“Defendant has even more funds than he disclosed duringthe last five hearings ... and should not be released whilethere are substantial questions about the extent and location

■ Goes on offense against victims

By PAUL MILLER

THE DIFFICULTY of convicting someone of rape wason full display in a Salinas courtroom this week.

And so were the perils of stepping forward to testify abouta sexual assault.

Tom Pollacci is accused of raping an acquaintance in hisfather’s liquor store on a Sunday evening in April 2008. Anda string of other women have stepped forward to say Pollacciattacked them, too, dating back to 1980.

In two of the older cases, Pollacci pled guilty to sexualbattery and was placed on probation. But this week, Pollaccipresented a series of witnesses to cast doubts on the motivesand truthfulness of the various Jane Does who say he rapedthem — even the two women Pollacci admitted assaulting.

And, according to Pollacci’s attorney, Andrew Liu, JaneDoe 5’s motive for accusing Pollacci of rape may be to getmoney by suing him and his family.

Richard Lee, a Salinas private investigator hired by thePollaccis, told the jury this week that some of the Jane

Judge lifts stay of water cutback order

PINE CONE STAFF REPORT

THE CASE was transferred to Santa Clara County,because the State Water Resources Control Board hoped anout-of-town judge would be more likely to let it drasticallyreduce the Monterey Peninsula’s water supply.

And Thursday, the agency’s wish came true when a SantaClara County judge let the SWRCB’s strict water cutbackorder go into effect immediately. Santa Clara CountySuperior Court Judge Kevin Murphy lifted a stay imposedlast November by a Monterey County judge, Kay Kingsley.

The cutback order seeks to protect the Carmel River byreducing pumping. A project to replace that pumping fromthe river is still tied up in the permit process — which is alsocontrolled by state agencies — and is the subject of a CEQAlawsuit. The lifting of the stay could mean immediate waterrationing on the Monterey Peninsula.

Motorcycles ready to take over Quail Lodge

By MARY BROWNFIELD

THE SECOND annual celebration of two-wheeledmachines is set for May 8 at Quail Lodge, and organiz-er Gordon McCall said it will feature a captivating line-up of unusual, high-tech, vintage, modern, esoteric —and even bizarre — bikes. The Quail MotorcycleGathering, inspired by the upscale (and much moreexpensive) Quail Motorsports Gathering held each yearduring Concours Week, will also host vendors, VIPs, afull lunch and a Bonhams & Butterfields auction.

“What’s really cool is everything now is coming outof the woodwork,” McCall said this week.

Such is the nature of putting together a motorcycle

Carmel reads The Pine Cone

Sandy Claws By Margot Petit Nichols

COCO JOHNSON, 10, a longhaired sil-ver dapple dachshund with fur as soft as achinchilla’s, is moving from Las Vegas toCarmel to get away from the glitz and

enjoy the natural beauty of Carmel Beach.We met him there Thursday, fluffing alongthe walking path with his folks, earsbouncing and legs churning away.

Dad Bob and Mom Sheila said theirnew home on Carmel Point is nearingcompletion, and soon they’ll be in resi-dence here. Coco is looking forward to it,because then he’ll have a new venue inwhich to play hide and seek with Dad, andnylon stocking tug-of-war with Mom.

Coco sleeps beside his parents in hisown snug bed, which he meticulouslyrearranges each night before getting it justright. If he has to go in the middle of thenight, he thoughtfully moans quietly untilhe’s let out.

He prefers humans to other dogs,although Coco’s very polite around them.During his interview, a trio of hunting dogspassed by, followed by a West Highlandterrier, French bulldogs and severalYorkies, but Coco didn’t bark; he observedthem graciously without staring.

Coco was originally a companion toDad Bob’s mother, Rosalie Johnson, butwhen Coco’s mom drowned in Rosalie’spool, Bob and Sheila relocated Coco totheir house, away from the scene of the

tragedy.He had to be retrained from his meals

of cooked chicken, grapes and cheese,which Rosalie lovingly prepared for himdaily, to a more healthful diet of chicken-flavored dog food.

When his family is officially establishedhere, Coco hopes to join the CarmelDachshund Club on their third-Sunday-of-the-month outing at the beach. Las Vegasis notoriously without beach.

FOR ALMOST five years, the Carmel Chamber ofCommerce had used a flat-screen TV inside its San CarlosStreet visitor center as a 24/7 means of sharing informationwith tourists and promoting members’ businesses. But lastmonth, city planners told the chamber to shut off the moni-tor, because it was considered a sign and was therefore inviolation of the code.

At their April 14 meeting, planning commissioners dis-agreed, deciding the TV provides a community service that’smost valuable when the center is closed.

“The city’s sign ordinance was designed to prevent theinstallation of an excessivenumber of signs, avoid visu-al clutter and maintain thecharacter of the downtown,”planning and building ser-vices manager Sean Conroywrote in his report for thecommission. The codedefines a sign as, “anyobject, structure, symbol,banner, streamer, letter,number, emblem, logo,color, display or light ...which is intended to or doesidentify, attract attention to,advertise, announce or com-municate information of anykind to the public.”

Because the law does notspecifically address TVmonitors, Conroy said thecity considers them signs.Furthermore, the generalplan prohibits business signsthat incorporate lights ormovement.

While he acknowledgedthe code is written to addressexterior signs, and the citynormally doesn’t meddlewith signs inside businessesas long as they are more thanfive feet away from thestorefront and are no largerthan 6 square feet, Conroyconcluded the monitor wastoo large. To be allowed, hesaid, the TV should be small-er and turned off when thecenter is closed.

But commissioner RobinWilson pointed out that thescreen, measured withoutthe surrounding frame,would fall below the maxi-mum.

Vicki Lynch, president ofthe chamber board, conced-ed that it sells advertising onthe 42-inch monitor. But,while the TV helps fund thechamber’s budget, “mostimportantly, we use it as acalendar of events.” The goal“is to keep people in town alittle bit longer,” she said.

The chamber spent$6,000 on the monitor fiveyears ago and lacks the cashto buy a smaller one, accord-ing to Lynch. She alsoopposed turning it off at theend of the day. The visitorcenter used to be open sevendays per week but is nowclosed on Sundays, due tobudget cuts.

“If we’re open, peoplecan walk in and ask ques-tions,” she pointed out. “Butafter chamber hours, theywouldn’t see that informa-tion when walking back totheir hotels and from din-ner,” if the screen were dark.

Wilson said the monitorprovides a public service. “Idon’t see any reason not tolet them run it,” he said.

No change coming to city’swood-window requirement■ Except for person who illegally installed vinyl

By MARY BROWNFIELD

THE CITY of Carmel has long requiredhomeowners to use unclad wood windows intheir houses, with rare exceptions. But theincreasing attractiveness of aluminum-coat-ed wood windows has led to their more fre-quent approval in building projects. Theplanning commission formed a committee todetermine whether the city should change itsrules to accommodate modern window tech-nology, and according to the report it issued

last week, the answer is, “No.”The committee resoundingly condemned

clad windows. Under the heading of aesthet-ics — on which assistant planner MarcWiener advised the commission to focus itsdiscussion April 14 — the subcommitteeconcluded unclad wood windows can be leftuntreated, naturally oiled, organically stainedor painted, conventionally painted or factorypainted.

Pasadera would-be investor issuesblanket denial, threatens lawsuit

PINE CONE STAFF REPORT

MICHAEL BURNS, who told the mem-bership of Pasadera Country Club at an April7 meeting that he wanted to buy it, contactedThe Pine Cone this week by email to denyalmost all of the allegations in the newspa-per’s April 16 story detailing his “troubledpast,” including a five-year prison sentencefor theft and bail-jumping, a federal tax lienand a lawsuit alleging fraud in connectionwith a real-estate deal. The Pine Cone’s storywas largely based on earlier reporting aboutBurns in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

“Before you go ahead and print informa-tion, you should first check to see that thestory and or stories are true,” Burns wrote. “Iwill now be filing a lawsuit against yourpaper for the same amount I have alreadywon against the previous paper.”

In subsequent emails, he complained thatThe Pine Cone’s report was “90 percentincorrect,” and said he won a $3 millionjudgment against another newspaper. Butwhen asked what was wrong in The PineCone’s story, and for details about his lawsuitagainst the other newspaper, Burns declinedto provide any information.

“Of course, we will print a correction foranything that was wrong in the story aboutyou, but I need to know what the errorswere,” Pine Cone publisher Paul Miller toldBurns.

“I just need your lawyer’s information.The damage has been done,” Burns wrote.

After several days of exchanged emails,Burns still had not provided any informationabout what was incorrect in The Pine Cone’sstory last week.

of his liquid assets,” Assistant U.S. AttorneySean Flynn said in court documents. Flynnalso described Salyer’s profanity-filledphone calls, which also included assortedthreats, as “desperate” and “panicked.”

On April 13, District Judge LawrenceKarlton agreed Salyer could not be let out ofjail, despite a previous ruling he could befreed if he posted collateral of $300,000 cashand $5.7 million in property.

Salyer, who was once very wealthy, hasmost of his assets frozen in bankruptcy pro-ceedings for his network of food processingcompanies. He tried to use his home onRonda Road in Pebble Beach for bail, but theequity in the home is tied up by a lawsuitover unpaid alimony.

Salyer’s lawyer, Malcolm Segal, arguedthe house should be sufficient for bail any-way. Karlton’s ruling that it wasn’t has been

appealed by Salyer to the U.S. 9th CircuitCourt of Appeals.

There was no indication when the appealscourt might rule. In the meantime, Salyerand his lawyers have been given access to thelineup room at the Sacramento County Jailfor up to 95 hours week to strategize, studycase files, meet with investigators and uselaptop computers. Salyer is also allowed tobring boxes of legal documents to his cell.

But Segal complained that security mea-sures at the jail “create an enormous imped-iment to the defendant’s ability to prepare fortrial.” Among his complaints: Cell phonesaren’t permitted in the jail, there aren’t suffi-cient office supplies available, and the lineuproom has no Internet connection.

But government lawyers said Salyer isalready being given more access to hisdefense team than any other inmate in thehistory of the Sacramento County jail.

“The Constitution does not entitle thedefendant to wall charts, cushioned chairs ora 6 Mbps Internet connection,” Flynn said.

recalled this week. “So I came, and then I saw terrain. Heflat-out lied — runners lie to each other all the time — but Iwas committed. I just smiled.”

At that initial gathering, 1,800 people assembled near theBig Sur ranger station for the trek north on Highway 1.

MARATHONFrom page 1A

Ferlito recalled not just the race, but the nationally distrib-uted Associated Press photograph of his run across BixbyBridge that made it appear he had been in the lead. The photoprompted curious calls from his amazed friends.

Now, marathon weekend draws some 10,000 participantsfor the long race and several other events, including the 21-mile PowerWalk, two other walks of 10 and nine miles inlength, the Relay, a 5K, and a 3K kids’ race held on Saturday.

“It became more of a more community, a family affair,because people started traveling more with their families,”Ferlito said.

The nine-mile walk takes people through Point LobosState Reserve. According to Ferlito, that came about after aslide at Hurricane Point closed the highway during the ElNiño storms of 1998, requiring organizers to change theroutes of their events. State parks agreed to help.

“It’s the only organized walk in Point Lobos,” he said.“That’s a feather in our cap.”

Ferlito joined the BSIM board of directors in 1990 andbecame its chairman in 1997. The board oversees organiza-tion and operations of the race, including the coordination ofthousands of volunteers and the dispersal of more than $2.5million to local charities since the event’s inception.

He’s also a member of the Grizzled Vets, an ever-shrink-ing group of athletes who have run the marathon every year.As chairman of the board, Ferlito usually does the distanceduring the Director’s Run the weekend before, when about 10people start out at 4 a.m. for the run north, so he can workduring the marathon. For the 20th anniversary, though,Ferlito ran with the masses on race day, and he plans to do soagain in honor of the 25th anniversary April 25.

Having competed in more than 100 marathons, Ferlitosaid his goals as a runner have changed over the years. Hispersonal best was 2:58 in the massive New York Marathon in1978. These days, he prefers to simply strive to “finish witha smile.” And he said he hopes many spectators will ventureout along the beautiful route to support the runners whobrave the course’s tough hills, curves and wind on Sunday.

Marathon newsAlso during BSIM weekend, organizers will hold a

Health & Fitness Expo at the Monterey Conference Center atthe foot of Alvarado Street Friday and Saturday, when numer-


Does who have accused him of rape actually welcomedPollacci’s interest and invited his advances. And, at one point,he blurted out the real name of Jane Doe 3, who claimsPollacci raped her at her Carmel apartment in 1992.

“I’m very sorry,” Lee said after his slip of the tongue.

Did you kiss him back?Last Friday, prosecutor Michael Breeden called the last of

the Jane Does who would testify in court against Pollacci.Jane Doe 2 was at home in 1984, she told the jury, whenPollacci, who was a friend of her husband’s, unexpectedlycame to her front door.

He had tried to kiss her at his family’s liquor store on anearlier occasion, Jane Doe 2 said, but she didn’t feel threat-ened and let Pollacci in to her house. Her baby was sleeping,and she and Pollacci chatted for a few minutes. Suddenly, heforced her into a bedroom, pulled down her pants, and rapedher, she said. She kept the crime a secret for 25 years, shesaid, until she heard about the latest allegations againstPollacci and decided to contact authorities.

“I’ve matured, and if, at this point, I could prevent anoth-er person from being injured, I felt is was my civic duty tospeak up,” Jane Doe 2 said.

Breeden wanted to present two more Jane Does, 6 and 7,who would testify about being assaulted by Pollacci. ButScott ruled that their testi-mony would come too latefor Pollacci’s defense attor-ney, Andrew Liu, to prepareto cross examine them. Scottalso said the latest allegedassaults were similar to onesthe jury already heard about— apparently believing thejury was learning all it need-ed to about Pollacci’salleged behavior.

Monday, testimony fromJane Doe 3 at a preliminaryhearing in 1993 was read tothe jury. In it, she describedmeeting Pollacci on CarmelBeach, having an eveningout with him in Big Sur,receiving a lot of unwantedattention from him back ather apartment, and thenpassing out and waking upwhile he was raping her.

She refused to appear atthe latest trial, saying herearlier experience testifyingagainst Pollacci made herfeel violated. And, listeningto Breeden and district attor-ney Cristina Johnson readthe transcripts of herNovember 1992 testimony,it was easy to see why, withPollacci’s then-defenseattorney, Bill Bryan, askinga number of questions aboutwhat she was wearing, howmuch she had to drink,whether she had “kissed himback” when Pollacci tried tokiss her, and whether her“body was responding” dur-ing the alleged rape.

‘Swamped by comments’Later, Lee testified that

he had interviewed Jane Doe3 in 1993, and that she toldhim she had tried on outfitsfor Pollacci before their din-ner and even agreed to seePollacci again after thealleged rape, deciding to goto authorities only after acoworker warned her aboutPollacci’s reputation.

“She received commentsfrom many other people andwas swamped by commentsthat Tom Pollacci was a badand dangerous person, andthat’s when she called thepolice,” Lee said.

Pollacci pled guilty tosexual battery in that case,and in another case where awoman said he raped her ina parking lot in CarmelHighlands. He was put onprobation and required toregister as a sex offender.

One of the things thathelped Pollacci stay out ofjail was a report Lee pre-

POLLACCIFrom page 1A

pared on Pollacci’s behalf concluding he wasn’t really dan-gerous.

“He is neither a rapist, nor a danger,” Lee wrote ofPollacci at the time. “He is self-centered and immature, andin many ways, he is his own worst enemy.”

A sharp jurorPollacci’s father, Ron, owner of liquor stores in Carmel

and Pacific Grove, and a Pebble Beach resident since 1978,also testified this week, seeking to undermine the story ofJane Doe 1, who told the jury April 12 that Pollacci andanother man kidnapped her from her home near Carmel HighSchool in 1980, held her down in the back seat of Pollacci’sMercedes convertible, drove her to mid-valley and raped hernext to the Carmel River. She was 16 at the time.

“Did your son own a Mercedes in the 1980s?” Liu askedRon Pollacci.

“Yes, he had a 450SL coup convertible,” Pollacci’s fathertestified. The car had just two seats, he said.

“Was there a seat in the back?” Liu continued.“No, just a storage shelf,” Ron Pollacci said.“Could you fit a person back there?” Liu asked.“No … I couldn’t,” Ron Pollacci said.The elder Pollacci also testified a security camera image

from the interior of the liquor store where his son workedcouldn’t be from the time of the alleged 2008 rape of JaneDoe 5, because the coolers in the background had beenremoved in 2007.

The defense also presented testimony from a former

California Department of Justice scientist, MariannePerhach, who said Jane Doe 5 must have been drinking heav-ily the night of the alleged rape to have reached the .129 alco-hol level tested in her blood.

And a forensic pathologist from Orange County, JosephCohen, testified that Jane Doe 5’s injuries — a laceration onthe left side of her head and internal bleeding on the oppositeside of the skull — must have come from a “moving headstriking a fixed object,” not from “a stationary head being hitwith a moving object.”

Prosecution witnesses said earlier there was no way todetermine how the injury occurred, and in opening argu-ments, Breeden alleged Pollacci attacked Jane Doe 5, knock-ing her unconscious before raping her.

But Cohen insisted that Jane Doe 5’s head was injured ina fall.

“If someone strikes me with a baseball bat, there would bebruising [of the brain] on the same side,” Cohen said.

As Breeden debated the issue with Cohen during cross-examination, a juror interrupted with a question of his own.He wrote the question down, with the judge, Liu and Breedenall looking at it before Breeden read it aloud.

“Would there be a different injury if both the head and theobject were moving?” the juror asked.

“It depends on how they’re moving,” Cohen responded.“It does change it.”

Closing arguments in the case are scheduled to beginApril 23.

A verdict could come the following week.

By CHRIS COUNTS

THE MONTEREY County Board of Supervisors thisweek rejected a proposal to build a multi-story, 4,884-square-foot home on a Scenic Point property planning commission-er Keith Vandevere has called “the most visually sensitive lotin Carmel.”

The vote Tuesday overturned an earlier decision by theMonterey County Planning Department to approve the pro-ject.

After listening to neighbors who supported and blastedthe home, the supervisors voted 3-2 against letting it be built.Supervisor Dave Potter, whose district includes CarmelPoint, was joined by supervisors Lou Calcagno and JaneParker in voting no. Supervisors Fernando Armenta andSimon Salinas voted to approve construction of the home.

Opponents took aim at the project, calling it too large.They also warned it would block views of the historic Kuster-Meyer house, which is located next door.

Proponents insisted the property’s owners, Lou andMorley Moellentine, have successfully negotiated the coun-ty’s lengthy planning process, and they contended the housewould not be out of place in an architecturally diverse neigh-borhood. They also pointed out that homes as large as the onethe Moellentines are proposing already exist nearby.

The project aims to replace an existing 2,704-square-footsingle-family residence and 426-square-foot garage with thelarger structure and a 1,498-square foot subterranean garage.

In March 2008, the Monterey County PlanningCommission voted 5-1 to approve the Moellentines’ plans. Inresponse, Bruce Meyer — who lives in the Kuster-Meyerhouse — appealed the decision to the board of supervisors.

The Carmel Unincorporated/Highlands Land UseAdvisory Committee — by a unanimous vote — previouslyrejected a slightly larger version of the same home.

The property is located at 26195 Scenic Road.

ers,” the committee wrote. In contrast, cladwindows “offer no versatility,” and cannot berepainted without voiding the manufacturer’swarranty.

Furthermore, clad windows “temporarilymimic the look of factory-painted wood win-dows,” but then weather poorly, failing totake on the patina of wood and instead chip-ping and fading.

“In America, wood windows survive

intact from the days of earliest settlements ofthe continent, hundreds of years ago.European examples extend even furtherback,” the group wrote in the report.“Moreover, wood windows can last hundredsof years, even when untreated or poorlymaintained.”

Even in coastal environments, uncoatedwood survives better than aluminum-cladwood, according to the report.

“Though clad windows provide the tem-porary advantage of some deferred mainte-nance, that advantage alone does not out-weigh the many aesthetic, durability, mainte-

nance, environmental and financial advan-tages to natural wood windows,” the windowsubcommittee concluded in its April 14report.

Commissioner Robin Wilson said readingit made him change his mind.

“I found myself more and more embrac-ing clad windows, and I was wrong, so thankyou for pointing that out,” he said.commissioner Keith Paterson said home-owners should be able to choose.

“I don’t think we should deny the proper-ty owner the right to install good-lookingclad windows,” he said. “Like Robin, I felthalf convinced to think I was wrong aboutclad windows,” but on reflection, he urgedthe commission to consider individual caseson their own merits.

Ultimately, the commission voted 4-1 toforward the report to the council with a rec-ommendation to maintain the guidelines as

written, with their emphasis on unclad woodwindows.

Except ...Later during the same meeting, commis-

sioners voted to approve vinyl windows thatJunipero Street resident Dolores Parker ille-gally installed in her home, as long as shereplaced the front windows with uncladwood. The city’s building inspector issued astop-work order at the home last month afterdiscovering contractors were replacing oldaluminum windows with vinyl windows,without a permit.

Conroy recommended the commissiondeny Parker’s application to keep the vinylwindows, but commissioners unanimouslyallowed all but the vinyl windows visiblefrom the street to remain. The windows thatcan be seen from the public right of way willbe unclad wood.Greg Creecy

Playa for more than 20 years, “We get very busyon the weekends, which is when most of our wed-dings take place. But, if people are willing to beflexible, we can negotiate special room rates, aslong as they stay with us from a Sunday throughThursday.”

Catering manager Richard Wood also offers hisclients discounted fees for banquet rooms ifbooked any day Sunday through Thursday. “Andwith all of our banquet rooms, we include thetables, chairs, linens, glasses and plateware, votivecandles and a dance floor,” he explained. “Onething we are also very happy to do is host a com-plimentary champagne toast in our gazebo imme-diately following the ceremony, so the weddingcouple and their guests can savor the moment.”

More good news: La Playa doesn’t charge for

wedding rehearsals. Plus, if you book a rehearsaldinner or post-nuptial brunch, the hotel will waivethe room fee as well, so all you’ll end up paying foris the food and beverage. And, you can save evenmore by working directly with Wood to help coor-dinate all the hotel details instead of having to hiresomeone. He’s glad to help you with the rehearsalcoordination while overseeing all aspects of thesite, down to cuing the bride and groom. As helikes to say, “We offer one-source shopping for allof your wedding needs.”

Yet one more way to cut corners is by having aday reception instead of a night event. “Normally,day receptions are less expensive than eveningreceptions,” said Wood. “And to accommodatethose on a budget, if it’s on a Sunday throughThursday schedule and not on a Saturday, we willsometimes allow our clientele to choose their

■ No matter where you choose to haveyour wedding, though, one thing is certain:You’re going to need flowers. So where doyou go for great floral deals? Try Tempel’s ofCarmel Florist in Carmel Valley. Owner andmanager Pat Tempel, an AIFD certifieddesigner, has been in the flower business for34 years. “We’ve been in several differentlocations during that time, but we’ve alwaysbeen at the mouth of the valley,” she statesproudly.

Pat enjoys passing on cost-cutting tips tobrides, and one of her newest suggestions is

to consider getting married on a Friday.“We’re doing more and more Friday wed-dings, because we’ll often get a better selec-tion and better prices on the flowers, whichwe pass on to our customers. And then youcan enjoy the rest of the weekend in Carmel.”

Flowers at Tempel’s can be done simplyor elaborately, so set your budget and askTempel what she can and cannot do for thatamount.

“Most florists in this economic climateare willing to work with the client, and weare no different,” she said. Prices at Tempel’sof Carmel range from $35 for a small bou-quet, up to $300. Table arrangements varygreatly, depending on choice of flowers andthe number in the wedding party, but startout at $40 and go up to $500 for larger wed-dings.

Located at The Barnyard, a shopping cen-ter noted for its charming and romantic gar-dens, Tempel also suggests trimming costsby having your wedding reception at one ofthe restaurants found on the property. “There

are some outstanding restaurants here at TheBarnyard, and the setting of the gardensoffers a breathtaking location for weddingphotographs.”

Last but not least, Tempel says that thebiggest money-saver is to have your nuptialsat the beach.

“We do hundreds of weddings at thebeach at Carmel-by-the-Sea, as well as atMeadows Beach,” which is off Ribera Road,she confided. If you suddenly wake up onenight in a panic realizing you’re totallyoverextended and simply cannot afford anyvenue at all, don’t be so hasty as to discountthe idea. Some local beaches are free, whileothers require a permit and charge a fee. Butall of them are cheaper than a hotel or even,in many cases, a church. And what could bemore romantic than exchanging vows againstthe glorious crashing waves of the PacificOcean?

Tempel’s of Carmel Florist is at 3604 TheBarnyard in Carmel. You can reach Tempel at(831) 624-5395.

Getting your perfect wedding dress on a shoestring budgetBy CATHERINE BADIN

THINK IT’S impossible to find a beautiful weddingdress on the Monterey Peninsula at a price yourpocketbook will like? Think again. There are some

surprising options to choose from these days to make anyblushing bride look like royalty, at half the cost.

■ Take, for example, Bride ‘N Formal By the Bay, a newwedding dress shop located in downtown Monterey that’sbeen in business for a year-and-a-half. The shop’s motto is,“We accommodate prices and time frames,” as the shop spe-cializes in last-minute weddings and rush alterations. Saysowner Sandie Roth, “I like to help people work within theirbudgets.”

Bride ‘N Formal offers many dresses on sale, as well asregularly priced dresses, so no matter your budget, Roth willdo her best to make your wedding-day vision come true.She’ll also sell some of her sample dresses and can even spe-cial order from the samples on the floor. You can visit Bride‘N Formal at 209 Pearl St. in Monterey. (831) 333-0255.

■ Nest, in Pacific Grove, offers romantically chic wed-ding gowns, bridesmaid dresses and mother-of-the-bridegowns, in addition to an eclectic range of beautiful and excit-ing accessories. Veils, satin and beaded handbags, fancygarter belts, jewelry, hair accessories, gloves and a largeselection of beautiful and comfortable shoes can all be found

there. A virtual one-stop-shopping boutique for the bride-to-be, Nest has it all.

In business for 11 years, the Nest was started by PhyllisDavis and her mother at The Barnyard, where it resided forsix years before moving to Pacific Grove. Davis is now fly-ing solo and is constantly looking for new items to showcase.Nest stocks a variety of styles, ranging from a flowingromantic look suitable for a more relaxed beach or gardenwedding, to elegant, sophisticated gowns just made for thattraditional walk down the church aisle.

At Nest, floor-sample dresses are always available forsale, which can offer brides substantial savings. Another wayto cut costs is to look over the shop’s gorgeous, brightly col-ored gowns which can then be ordered in ivory or white, suit-able for the bride. But don’t think your dress will have that“just-off-the-rack” look. For a mere $60, Davis offers anonsite fitting prior to making a special order. She takes full

measurements of the bust, waist and hip, down to the hem;and also does a neckline to hemline measurement, eliminat-ing the need and cost for hemming later on. Once the dressarrives, it should only require some small tweaking which, inturn, can save a lot of extra charges in lengthy and costly fit-tings.

Mothers-of-the-bride are also in luck. Nest carries a hugeselection of beautiful and sophisticated dresses for moms thatare not only very flattering, but also cost-effective. “It can getugly out there!” said Davis. “You have a choice of eitherlooking like a Vegas showgirl or Methuselah. Instead, weoffer fashionable and feminine styles for women of all agesand sizes, and for all levels of event dressiness.” Nest is locat-ed at 229 Grand Ave. between Lighthouse and Laurel.

■ But maybe a new dress isn’t quite yourthing, and you’d prefer a more vintage vibe?By all means, look through your grand-mom’s trunk, because who knows what trea-sures might be unearthed there?

Cherry Center revives the golden age of musicalsBy CHRIS COUNTS

BEFORE ROCK ’n’ roll took over the airwaves, thesoundtrack of America came from the silver screen.

“Hooray for Hollywood,” a review by Tom Parks that paystribute to the golden age of musicals, continues this week atthe Cherry Center for the Arts.

Written by Parks and directed by Peter Baldwin, thereview will showcase about 45 of the most memorable songsfrom the era, including “You Were Meant For Me,” “LongAgo and Far Away,” “Our Love is Here to Stay,” “Mandy,”“Secret Love,” “You’re Getting to be a Habit with Me,” and“Thanks for the Memories.”

In the 1930s and 1940s, the record charts were topped bymany songs that were featured in Hollywood musicals.

“These songs were written by the likes of Cole Porter,Rogers and Hart, and Irving Berlin,” explained Parks, wholives in Carmel. “The songs have staying power, and some ofthem have become standards.”

During the golden age of musicals, audiences were rarelysurprised when an actor or actress would burst into song.

“The movies are what made these songs so memorable,”Parks observed. “It was a time when people broke into songon the screen. Today, audiences would not go along with thatfantasy. That’s why there are almost no musicals on thescreen anymore.”

Parks will narrate the review and offer a few songs.Meanwhile, Michelle Boulware — a Carmel resident and afeatured soloist at the Carmel Presbyterian Church — willdo much of the singing.

“She has the perfect voice,” Parks added. “She’s beautiful,she has poise, and she’s a lot of fun on stage.”

The RECIPIENTS of five Grammy nominations, theinnovative Kronus Quartet performs at Sunset Center Friday,April 23.

For more than three decades, the ensemble — which fea-tures David Harrington and John Sherba on violin, HankDutt on viola and Jeffrey Zeigler on cello — has strived toexpand the boundaries of the string quartet genre.

The quartet won a Grammy Award in 2004 for BestChamber Music Performance.

“This is extraordinary, contemporary classical music,”Sunset Center executive director Peter Lesnik said. “Theirmusic at times can be very challenging, but the piece they areperforming [“Black Angels,” which was inspired by theVietnam War] is just incredible. It’s a very moving work.”

The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $42 to $57.Sunset Center is located at San Carlos and Ninth. For moreinformation, call (831) 620-2048 or visit www.sunsetcen-ter.org.

“Hooray for Hollywood” will be staged Fridays andSaturdays at 7 p.m. — and Sundays at 2 p.m. — through May9.

Tickets are $30. The Cherry Center is located at Fourthand Guadalupe. For more information, call (831) 601-5816.For more information about the Cherry Center, visitwww.carlcherrycenter.org.

Crime and PunishmentA PacRep production of Russian author Fyodor

Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” continues this week-end at the Circle Theater.

Based on a contemporary adaptation of “Crime andPunishment” by Marilyn Campbell, the thrilling psychologi-cal crime drama is directed by Kenneth Kelleher and featuresa cast of only three — Remi Sandri, Jeffrey T. Heyer andEmily Jordan. Sandri plays the lead character, “Raskolnikov,”Heyer takes on the role of “Porfiry” and Jordan will portray“Sonia.”

The play will be staged Fridays, Saturdays and Sundaysthrough May 2.

ALTHOUGH SHE never actually livedin Carmel — and despite the fact that few

people today are even familiar with her work— Ella Young had a profound effect on ageneration of Carmel writers and artists.

Local scholar Denise Sallee will present atalk about one of earlyCarmel’s most fascinatingpersonalities, “Ella Youngand the Search for Beauty inCarmel,” Monday, April 26,at Carpenter Hall.

A poet, a mystic and acaptivating storyteller whoselectures attracted overflowaudiences at UC Berkeley inthe 1930s and 1940s, Youngwas an Irish expatriatesteeped in the legends andlore of the Emerald Isle. Shehad great sympathy for theIrish War of Independence,and even aided revolutionar-ies by hiding guns in herDublin home. But she was sodisturbed by the partition ofthe country that she emigrat-ed to the United States in1925. A year later, shemoved to California, whereshe discovered a willingaudience for her views onthe Irish mythology.

“The time was right forher to show up,” Sallee said.“Carmel was having its ownCeltic Twilight, and she wasthe genuine article.”

She struck up friendshipswith poet Robinson Jeffersand photographers EdwardWeston and Ansel Adams,among many others whoattended her talks. Jeffers’wife, Una, in particular, wasfascinated with the legendsand lore of Ireland.

Naturally, the subject offaeries came up frequentlywhen Young talked aboutIrish mythology. “She didbelieve in faeries, and sheeven lectured in Carmelabout them,” Sallee noted.

In fact, she even believedthat faeries inhabited PointLobos, Sallee confirmed.“The next day [after herCarmel talk], a bunch ofmatrons went troupingaround town looking forfaeries,” she said.

The talk, which is free,starts at 7 p.m. CarpenterHall is located in SunsetCenter on Mission south of10th. For more information,call (831) 624-1615.

New life at the ranch, the secret toartichoke bisque and a winey road

By MARY BROWNFIELD

CHEF TIM Wood doesn’t shy awayfrom a challenge. When he was asked to helpfigure out how to woo customers to theCarmel Valley Ranch clubhouse for food andlibation, he dropped everything, left his jobat Sonoma’sCarneros Inn andreturned to theMonterey Peninsula,where he had workedas a chef for years,including eight in thekitchen at Bernardus Lodge.

That was in mid-January, and a monthlater, people were flocking to the ranch tocheck out the creative and affordable fare,much of which changes weekly. On Fridaysand Saturdays during “Happy Hour” from 5to 9 p.m., some 70 to 130 guests plant them-selves in the lounge’s cushy chairs near thelarge fireplace and television, or take seats in

the small dining room, and order from theone-page menu Wood created in that shortamount of time.

“I had to make the menu overnight,” hesaid, and it has been well received. Woodlikes to let the ingredients shine, rather thancovering them up with too many syrups and

sauces, and he wantsto keep his dishesinteresting anddiverse — but nottoo pricey.

“Your steak does-n’t have to be $58,”

he said.Right now, the prices are beyond reason-

able in the $3 to $19 range, and no doubtthey will rise a bit in the coming weeks ormonths, but it’s unlikely anyone will mind.Consider the open-face steak sandwich withPoint Reyes blue cheese (a steal at $9), a

While some dishes are mainstays, the menu changesweekly, depending on which ingredients are available and thefeedback Wood is getting from customers.

“This is a great opportunity to do little field studies oneveryone,” he said. “How do we make people happy?”

He recently offered asalad of perfectly grilledasparagus with San Danieleprosciutto, greens andParmigiano Reggiano ($9),and entrées of Fulton Valleychicken pot pie with puffpastry, al dente winter veg-etables, plenty of gravy anda small side salad (whichshould be eaten first, beforeit drowns) for $13, and line-caught Monterey Bay halibutwith spring onion, wildmushrooms, BellweatherFarms ricotta gnocchi thatwere finished on a hot grid-dle for a bit of carameliza-tion, and green garlic purée($18).

Whatever fishermanJerry Wetle catches, Woodwill prepare in a manner thatdepends on what’s selling atthe markets.

Desserts change accord-ing to the pastry chef’s lik-ing, and a recent menushowcased a very goodbread pudding ($4), gooeywarm chocolate chip cookies($3) and almond pear tartwith vanilla bean ice cream($5).

To sate their thirst, guestscan select $5 glasses ofhouse Merlot andChardonnay, $3 draft beersor cocktails from the bar.

If the Friday-SaturdayHappy Hour is a glimpse ofwhat’s to come for CarmelValley Ranch, which waspurchased last year by GeoloCapital, locals should beeager for the reopening ofthe resort’s main restaurant“up top,” as those on theproperty call it. Formerly thesite of chef Michel Richard’sCitronelle, the restaurant isundergoing a full remodel,with the details yet to beannounced.

Editorial

Revisiting the strange traditions of golf

WHEN A basketball player is getting ready to shoot a free throw, fans of the

other team do everything they can to disrupt his concentration. They hoot, they

holler, they jump up and down, wave signs right in the free-throw shooters’ field

of view and generally do their best to make sure he misses.

In the NFL, it’s a time-honored tradition for the home field crowd to make as

much noise as it can whenever the visiting team is on offense, not only to dis-

tract the players, but to make it impossible for the linemen, running backs and

receivers to hear the quarterback’s signals. And whenever an opposing team’s

kicker is trying to make a field goal — well, the crowd does pretty much every-

thing short of human sacrifice to try to get him to fail.

But when a PGA pro is about to tee off or putt, the crowd is required to hold

completely still and maintain a reverential silence.

Is this because putting for an eagle or a birdie is a delicate undertaking that

can be ruined by the slightest distraction, whereas shooting free throws or kick-

ing 50-yard field goals is a something anybody could do no matter the circum-

stances? Hardly. The rules of all sports evolved so that the greatest achievements

are possible for only a few players. Accordingly, making a birdie at Pebble

Beach is, by definition, no more difficult for a top golf pro than is sinking a

tricky basket at The Staples Center for an NBA all-star guard, or making a long

field goal at Candlestick Park for one of football’s most talented kickers.

Another point: All professional sports, for the players anyway, are mainly

about making money. Is the strict etiquette at golf tournaments a result of high-

er stakes in PGA or USGA competitions? No. Top-notch NBA and NFL players

also have a ton of money at stake when they perform.

Why, then, do golfers have such delicate sensibilities?

The answer is, simply, that holding still and making not a sound while a

golfer takes a shot is a tradition.

Which brings us to Tiger Woods and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-

Am. It used to be a tradition that spectators were allowed to take photographs

during this celebrity-studded tournament. In the old days, fans looked forward

to taking a candid picture of Jack Lemmon or Clint Eastwood as much as they

did watching Johnny Miller or Arnold Palmer putt.

But Woods changed all that. He didn’t like the clicking of shutters and

demanded that cameras be banned at Pebble Beach while he was playing. And

so, in 1998, they were. Ironically, it later turned out he didn’t like the Pebble

Beach Pro-Am at all, so he stopped showing up. But the ban on cameras

remains.

Now we’ve learned that Woods was such an incredible egotist that, beyond

the adoration of the pubic and the vast fortune that was showered on him, he also

thought he was exempt from normal rules of civilized human behavior. That

belief has now been disproved. Even Tiger Woods, in turns out, with all his

wealth and fame, has to conform to certain minimum standards of comportment.

In apologizing for his misdeeds, Woods promised to be more humble and

appreciative of the sport that has blessed him so much.

Does that mean the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am fans can have their cameras

back?

Don’t restrict dogsDear Editor,

We were particularly interested in MaryBrownfield’s story April 16 about the gentle-man asking city hall for dog restrictions onCarmel Beach. For many years, we and ourdogs have enjoyed the freedom of running onthe beach and playing with other dogs. Welove the dog friendliness of Carmel.Overall, we have found owners to be respon-sible for the good behavior of their dogs.

Carmel Beach is one of the few beachesthat does not put unreasonable restrictions ondogs. It’s a pity that one person could impacta change which would affect adversely somany who have so enjoyed the beach for somany years. In lieu of further ordinancesand restrictions, those who do not want tomix with off-lead dogs should go to themany other beaches in the area and up anddown the coast that do restrict dogs. It seemsthat city hall should focus on more importantmatters which enhance the city.

I mentioned the article to others on thebeach since the story was released. Eachperson responded with sincere concern thatsuch an ordinance would even be consideredin a city which prides itself as being dog-friend. I intend to make my concerns knownto the city, and I urge your readers to contactcity hall to express their strong opposition toany restrictions for imposing leash require-ments on dogs on Carmel Beach.

Judy Player, Pebble Beach

He wanted to playDear Editor,

We would like to comment on the articlein the April 16 Pine Cone regarding the “bitevictim” who would like to impose a leashlaw or dog ban imposed on part of the one-mile stretch of Carmel Beach.

My husband and I have vacationed inCarmel every year for the past 10 years, stay-ing at the Vagabond House Inn. Each time,we have brought our beloved golden retriev-er. Part of the charm of Carmel is the beachand the fact that dogs are allowed to romp,dig in the sand and play in the surf. We trav-el all the way from Calabasas for this veryreason.

I realize that there can be lots of dogs atthe beach playing with other dogs or walkingwith their owner. That being said, I wonder ifthe “bite victim” knew that playing Frisbeeon the beach just might attract one of thedogs on the beach. I have a feeling this iswhat happened. I believe the “bite victim”should have made himself aware of the sur-roundings prior to engaging in the Frisbeegame. I’d be willing to bet the dog wantedthe Frisbee, and the “bite victim” didn’t wantany part of it. I just don’t see a dog going upto a person and biting him at random. I won-der if the real facts are out there and hope-fully someone who witnessed the incidentwill come forward.

Tracy and Matt Fink, Calabasas

Commissioner Victoria Beach agreed and said the TV par-ticularly should be allowed to stay on after hours.

“What’s it there for?” she asked. “I think it’s a substitutefor the people who are there helping.”

Chair Janet Reimers and commissioner Steve Hillyardwanted to guard against a proliferation of TV monitors blar-ing from within businesses seeking to catch shoppers’ atten-tion, so they suggested it be noted the monitor was being per-mitted because the chamber is a nonprofit, and it’s providinga service to the public. Commissioners then unanimouslyapproved the chamber’s request.

show. “I have to remember that the motorcycle world is dif-ferent,” said McCall, who also helps organize the Augustevent and hosts his expansive McCall’s Motorworks Revival.“I have to remember how much more impulsive the motor-cycle world is than the car world.”

That’s not to say the hardware on the field won’t be topquality, rare, pristine and beautiful. McCall expects to seeabout 130 or 140 motorcycles exhibited on the grass and per-haps 100 more auction bikes in the clubhouse.

“We are an all-inclusive show,” said McCall, himself amotorcyclist. “We’re not turning much away, and I like that.That comes from being an enthusiast.”

Particularly notable are Ducati’s decision to debut its newhigh-tech Multistrada and cult favorite Falcon Motorcycles’choice to unveil the new Kestrel at the Quail. Also, the ownerof the most prolific Vincent collection in the country isbringing a few, and Larry Bowman, who took Best of Showlast year, will be back with more hardware. The world’s

fastest electric motorcycle (capable of reaching 166 mph)will also be there. “There’s going to be really crazy, over-the-top stuff,” McCall said.

The Saturday show, which runs from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.and is followed by the Bonhams & Butterfields auction at3:30, is the main event, but the weekend kicks off Friday witha 100-mile ride through Carmel Valley that includes lunch,laps around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and a receptionand dinner set among the auction bikes and featuring specialspeakers. McCall said he expects about 30 participants andencouraged anyone interested in joining in the fun to sign up.

Admission to the Saturday show is $65 for adults and $10for kids 12 and under, and includes lunch, on-pavement park-ing divided by manufacturer for people who ride their motor-cycles, and admission to the auction. The Friday tour costs$250 and includes a chance to exhibit in the show.
