PHOTO/KERRY BELSER S I N C E 1 9 1 5 Coastal commission unanimously approves test well in Marina By KELLY NIX T HALF MOON BAY — HE CALIFORNIA Coastal Commission Wednesday unanimously approved a crucial test well that paves the way for California American Water to take the first steps toward construction of a desalination plant in North Marina. The City of Marina rejected a permit for the test well, but coastal commissioners overruled that decision under a provision in the Coastal Act that gives the commission the last word on major public works projects. The meeting in Half Moon Bay drew scores of supporters of the test well who reminded commissioners it would only be temporary and that, without it, Cal Am could not continue to pursue the desal plant the Monterey Peninsula needs to comply with a state cutback order to drastically curtail pumping from the Carmel River — points that got through to commissioners. “This is a test only that Cal Am and a broad coalition of Monterey County leaders are recommending,” said coastal commissioner Carole Groom, who made the motion to approve the permit. “It’s simply a test See WELL page 13A COUNCIL OKS $175K CONTRACT WITH SCHMITZ By MARY SCHLEY C ONTRASTING SHARPLY with the lengthy and expensive contract of former city administrator Jason Stilwell, who was paid an annual salary of $185,325 and received tens of thousands of dollars more in bonuses, car allowance and other pay, the agreement between his replacement, Doug Schmitz, and the city is a single page calling for pay of $175,000 per year — and not much else. “As anybody who has looked at it will note, it is quite brief, thanks to Doug and to Don,” Mayor Jason Burnett said at the council’s Nov. 3 meeting, referring to Schmitz and city attorney Don Freeman. “Doug’s goal was to keep it to one page, and he succeeded,” (though in part by using very small font, as councilman Ken Talmage noted). The council approved the contract, which is retroactive to Schmitz’ start date of Oct. 6 and is open-ended, at its meeting last week. “There are several elements to this that are benefi- cial to the city, and I wanted to recognize that, both in terms of the benefits and the salary,” Burnett continued. “It will provide savings to the city and to all of us as taxpayers, relative to our previous agreement.” All told, the contract will cost taxpayers about $30,000 to $40,000 per year less than Stilwell’s, according to Burnett. In addition to the annual salary, the agreement provides Schmitz — who came out of retirement in order to work for the city — 80 hours of vacation time already in the bank and the accrual of 10 hours per month, 40 hours of management leave per fiscal year, 50 hours of sick leave in the bank and the accrual of eight hours per month, paid holidays and $550 per month in deferred compensation. “Employee will not be entitled to an auto allowance; health, dental or vision insurance coverages or cash in lieu thereof; or a city-issued cell phone or a cell phone stipend,” the contract states. “If employee chooses to attend any conferences, such expenses will be at See SCHMITZ page 21A Paid parking kiosks to arrive on Ocean Avenue By MARY SCHLEY T HE EXPERIMENT with paid parking on Ocean Avenue is set to begin this month, with cement slabs being poured now and parking kiosks going in the week of Nov. 17, city administrator Doug Schmitz said Nov. 7. The Carmel City Council voted last week to have National Parking & Valet run the pilot parking program and provide “ambassadors” who will instruct the public on how to use the kiosks. Paid parking is part of the council’s effort to free up downtown spaces for shoppers and encourage employees to park outside the core commercial area — and to generate some cash for the city. The 2014/2015 budget allocated $474,000 for the development and implementation of a See PARKING page 20A Scenic Road restrooms should be open soon San Jose airman latest victim of deadly coastline By CHRIS COUNTS I N THE latest of a series of drownings along the scenic but treacherous Big Sur coast, National Guard airman Khiem Nguyen died Nov. 11 after he was swept into the sea by a wave near Garrapata State Beach. Nguyen was found the following morning by members of the Monterey County Sheriff ’s Office Dive Team. A San Jose resident, he was 24. Nguyen was fishing with three of his friends when he was killed. Off duty at the time, he was assigned to the 129th Rescue Wing at Moffett Airfield in Sunnyvale. The incident happened at about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. After receiving a report that Khiem Nguyen Nguyen was in danger, the United States Coast Guard responded with lifeboat and helicopter crews. State park rangers, state lifeguards, Monterey County sheriff’s deputies and Cal Fire personnel aided the effort, but came up empty. The search was called off when the sun went down. “The decision to suspend a search-and-rescue case is one of the most difficult decisions to make,” said Capt. Greg Stump of the U.S. Coast Guard. “I want to extend my sincere condolences to the family, friends and the California Air National Guard. After conducting an extensive search for seven hours with our partner agencies, we made the challenging decision to suspend the active search.” The dive team began its search for Nguyen the next morning. After two hours of free diving, the rescue workers switched to scuba gear and located the airman’s body about 20 minutes later in 25 feet of water. A message about Nguyen was posted Wednesday on the 129th Rescue Wing’s website. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, and we are doing all we can to support them during this very difficult time,” said Col. Gregory Jones, the 129th Rescue Wing’s commander. “We appreciate their See NGUYEN page 19A PHOTO/KERRY BELSER THE LONG-AWAITED, occasionally controversial bathrooms being built at the south end of Carmel Beach should finally be open in early December. “They are getting very close,” planning director Rob Mullane said he learned from building official Joe Headley Thursday. “The structural work is done, and the target date for completion is currently the weekend of Dec. 6 and 7.” With a total price tag somewhere north of $900,000, some, including resident Carolina Bayne, have questioned how a two-toilet facility could be so spendy. But after more than a decade of hearings, extensive discussions with nearby property owners and multiple revisions, the city approved architect Rob Carver’s plans for the facility.

But there he was, outside the grocery store, this tiny wire-haired terrier, who dropped to the ground, belly up, the moment he saw their little boy. Figuring he was too much to take on but too cute to ignore, they picked him up and drove him to a local shelter. “If you get to the point where you plan to put him down,” they said to the staff, “please give us a call.” Meanwhile, the child kept asking about “his dog.” And, just days later, they got the call. The little terrier had been bathed, micro-chipped for identification, vaccinated, and put up for adoption. But during his first day on the adoption floor, he had snapped at someone’s hand. The shelter had plans to euthanize him at 5 p.m. that day. “We drove to the shelter and got him,” his person says. “And that night, when we were reading вЂ�Where the Wild Things Are’ to our son, we looked at the character, Max. Although he is a little boy, not a wild thing in the story, we decided this scruffy little dog FURNISHINGS “WITH DISTINCTION” WANTED CONSIGNMENT CARMEL LTD 232 CROSSROADS BLVD CARMEL Call Tracy at (831) 624-2860 Mon - Sat 10 - 5pm PHOTOS OR INQUIRIES TO: [email protected] was a lot like Max. Which is how he got his name.” Max, whose family gives him a close cut, isn’t so scruffy anymore, and he’s not such a wild thing, either. Recently, on the “Feast Day of St. Francis,” named for the patron saint of the animals, Max was blessed in a celebration at Junipero Serra School in Carmel. His person says he’s actually a sweetheart, mostly a quiet little house dog, who responds gently to affection and riles up only if he feels threatened. Now that his family has grown to three little children, Max can always go to the nursery to find where the wild things are. Offers available while supplies last.

See POLICE LOG page 19A November 14, 2014 Grant to help collect Europeans’ butts By MARY SCHLEY S MOKERS ON city streets should soon have an option for disposing cigarettes that doesn’t involve stubbing them out on trashcan lids or throwing them on the ground, according to a vote by the Carmel City Council Nov. 3. And the kids who use the Carmel Youth Center can continue enjoying their “eco-friendly snack bar,” too. Council members decided to allocate $6,000 to the butt receptacles and the snack bar. The money comes to the city from its trash hauler, Waste Management, via a contract agreement that requires Carmel to give the money to “nonprofit or youth organizations for recycling projects, special events and ongoing recycling programs,” according to the report prepared by library and community activities director Janet Bombard. She recommended the council give $1,500 to the youth center for its snack bar, which was started with a similar grant in 2012, and use $4,500 for cigarette disposal. “The city received one recycling grant application from the Carmel Youth Center for this funding cycle. The application was reviewed and approved by Joe Cadelago of Waste Management,” she explained. “At the Sept. 2 city council meeting, during a discussion of the impact of special events on the city, several members of the public brought up the need for cigarette receptacles in the downtown area,” she continued. Forest and beach commissioner Karen Ferlito pointed out the damage people cause when they have nowhere to dispose of their cigarettes. “We have an expense occurring unintentionally when people put their cigarettes out on the trashcan lids,” she said, adding that decision makers should avoid their usual tradition of undertaking a lengthy process to design something “uniquely Carmel.” “Get something, and if you don’t like it, you can change it in a few years,” she urged. “Something is better than nothing.” Ferlito also suggested tour-bus operators ask their passengers, many of whom are from Europe and other parts or the world where smoking remains a much more common habit, to use butt receptacles. “I think they want to do the right thing, and we are not giving them the opportunity to do the right thing,” she said. Restaurateur Rich Pepe said he just returned from Italy, where he saw receptacles in Florence that served as trashcans and cigarette disposals. “It’s one fewer thing on the sidewalk,” he said. “But I still noticed cigarette butts on the street right by the receptacle, so it’s not a failsafe solution.” “The influx of tourists coming to Carmel who smoke is extraordinarily high,” councilman Ken Talmage also observed. “And as one walks around town, there are cigarette butts everywhere.” He suggested finding more money for the receptacles, to ensure there are enough in town, but the council approved the grant allocations as Bombard proposed. City sand pile ready for the rain IF AND when the city receives the deluge its residents have been craving, the public works department will be ready — and superintendent Stu Ross wants to make sure the town will be ready, too. So, in anticipation of winter storms, he announced this week the city is putting out its annual sandbag pile in the area behind the Carmel Youth Center at Fourth Avenue and Torres Street. The supply of sand and sacks is meant for residents, only — not contractors. Also, any shovels or other equipment found there should be left there. Obviously.

W ITH HARDLY a trace of the fanfare that greeted entrepreneur Sean Parker’s multi million-dollar wedding on the same site, the Ventana Campground reopened to the public Nov. 1 for the first time in seven years. For now, 20 drive-in campsites are available at $50 per night. The Ventana Inn and Spa’s general manager, Steve Johnson, told The Pine Cone they hope to have 78 campsites open by May 2015, including an undetermined number of “walk-in” sites, which will rent for $35 per night. “The campground is much better than it’s ever been before,” said Johnson. “We’re excited about it.” Located on 40 acres just north of the resort and shaded by towering redwoods, the campground attracted international attention when Parker and his wife were married there in June 2013. It also fell under the scrutiny of the California Coastal Commission. In addition to expressing concern the wedding posed a threat to a sensitive environment, the watchdog agency pointed out a violation of state law — Ventana’s previous owners never received permission from the coastal commission to close the campground in 2007, which they did in response to the discovery that waste was seeping into Post Creek because of a faulty septic system. Maintaining the campground was a condition of approval set by the coastal commission in 1982 when it approved a plan by another of Ventana’s previous owners to expand the inn’s kitchen, as well as the number of guest and employee housing units. The condition was intended to make the property more accessible to people who couldn’t afford to stay in the resort’s rooms.

She also was a performance auditor in the controller’s office for the City of San Francisco from June 2000 to November 2004, and she holds master’s degrees in public administration and the arts, and a BA in political science. Schmitz said putting her in charge of reviewing the city’s voluminous and complicated contracts, which number around 90, is a good fit. “Her background in her previous positions with the City and County of San Francisco and Santa Barbara County in public finance, contract administration, developing and tracking adherence to approved performance standards, and analyzing and monitoring budgets gives us an in-house individual to undertake this task,” he said. The assignment is open-ended so the job can be done right, he said, describing Sandys and Friedrichsen as “a good team to move this effort forward.” Schmitz said he would be making changes of that nature when he delivered his assessment of the city to the council last week. He noted the internal checks and balances failed to identify contracts that were too expensive, badly or negligently written, and generated payments exceeding their caps, such as the infamous contracts with IT consultant Mark Alcock, who was supposed to be paid no more than $128,500 but received $382,796.29. “The city has no centralized system to monitor contracts including contract costs or conditions,” he said in his Nov. 4 report. “I will soon begin setting up a contracts-monitoring system, so everyone can easily access information on all of the city’s contracts. This will involve reassigning an employee to develop and oversee this task.” This week, he chose Friedrichsen to join Sandys in that effort. Replacing her on a temporary basis is Carmel Police Cmdr. Paul Tomasi, who will provide “a very light hand of oversight,” Schmitz said Wednesday, since city forester Mike Branson and public works superintendent Stu Ross are both longtime city employees accustomed to running their respective departments. Police Chief Mike Calhoun, who has supervised Tomasi since the latter was hired as a sergeant in 2008, said the interim role would be good for Tomasi’s “personal and professional development,” and he predicted his commander would “do an outstanding job.” “This is a chance for me to work with our public works employees and to learn more about our public works department,” Tomasi told The Pine Cone. “I am looking forward to the challenge, as well as the opportunity, to work closer with this group of city employees.” Schmitz also told The Pine Cone the shuffling of positions highlights the lack of depth in the city’s workforce, which has 20 percent of its jobs either vacant or filled by temps. Janet Bombard, for instance, is running the library and community services, while Calhoun is spending half his time in city hall See DUTIES page 21A 831.625.2090 P EBBLE – T HIS N OVEMBER – B EACH R ESORTS C ELEBRATES Passione at PГЁppoli From the hills of Italy to the coastline of Pebble Beach, join us for a unique month-long dining experience that introduces delicious new recipes inspired by Chef Angela Tamura’s recent travels to Italy.

The concept involves reconfiguring the two K-5 schools so that one school is used for kindergarten to second grade and the other is home to grades three through five. Benefits of the plan, the district contends, include better collaboration among teachers and staff, since teachers at the same grade level would be in the same location. Assistant superintendent Rick Miller told The Pine Cone Monday that the administra- tion’s idea — which has been proposed before — is garnering across-the-board sentiments from teachers and parents. “The board has said several times that the idea will not work without a consensus from the teachers,” Miller said. “And when I discuss the idea with parents, I also get mixed reactions.” Parents and teachers were expected to weigh in on the idea at a Nov. 13 PGUSD school board meeting. It is not clear when the plan would be implemented if it’s eventually given the OK. “I suppose the question of when would be decided by the board as well,” Miller said. “The discussion at the board meeting is really just that, a discussion. No decision will be made. They want to hear from staff and par- В�ГѓГЊ>ВЏВЏГЉВ€В�ГЉ/ˆ“iГЉvВњГЂГЉГЊВ…iГЉВњВЏВ€`>ГћГѓ ,* -ГЉUГЉ,* ГЉ -,/-ГЉUГЉ,-/ ГЉ-/"67""ГЉUГЉ-ГЉUГЉ*/ГЉUГЉ /, ГЉUГЉ"ГЉ/ ГЉ*,"1 /- ents.” The report points to the imbalance of class size ratios and teacher-to-student ratios at the two elementary schools. For instance, Forest Grove first-grade classes may outnumber — and be bigger — than first-grade classes at Robert Down, a factor that requires new students at Forest Grove to be transferred to Robert Down — or vice versa — until the ratios are equal. “It can adversely affect families with students in multiple grades, create temporary class assignments, and have the potential of shifting personnel after the year begins,” according to the district’s report. It’s also resulted in multi-grade combo classrooms, which the district said there would be little or no need for if the plan is approved. “By having all of the first-grade classes at the same site, these issues are completely mitigated, resulting in a more successful start of the year for students,” the staff report indicates. A girl walks into Robert Down Elementary School on Pine Avenue Thursday morning. The school is one of two elementary schools in Pacific Grove the district is considering reconfiguring.

Council says ABC should decide golf course liquor license DrPechak.com Sedation “SLEEP” Dentistry OPEN HOU S E By KELLY NIX A DECISION whether the restaurant at the Pacific Grove Golf Links should be allowed to serve liquor should be left in the hands of the state’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the city council decided last week. On Nov. 5, the Pacific Grove City Council decided 6-1 that the Point Pinos Grill does not need a permit from the city to serve liquor because the city makes no distinction as to the type of alcohol — whether it’s wine or beer or hard alcohol, for instance — that can be served in restaurants. The grill only needs approval from the ABC. The council also voted to amend language in the city’s use permit for the restaurant as it relates to alcohol. Aqua Terra Culinary, Inc. owner Dory Ford, who operates the grill, applied for a license from the ABC in May that would allow the restaurant to serve liquor in addition to beer and wine, which it’s already permitted to do. Serving hard alcohol would increase sales and draw more patrons to the restaurant. The city’s police department has said serving liquor at the grill likely would not increase service calls to the establishment. And of the six restaurants in P.G. that serve distilled spirits, there were no arrests or alcohol-related calls for service at those places, according to the police. However, several residents have pushed back on the idea, contending that hard alcohol will mean noisier patrons and more instances of drunk driving, which they say could pose a greater risk to residents and wildlife. They also say it will further commercialize the mostly residential area. Residents Jim and Lee Willoughby collected 79 signatures from those opposing the idea. “If the ABC approves the Point Pinos Grill for a [liquor] license, there will be three [restaurants that serve hard alcohol] within one mile of each other on or near Asilomar Boulevard, a narrow, poorly lighted winding road in a semirural area of homes,” Lee Willoughby wrote to ABC representative Marilyn M. Lefler Wednesday. “How can the ABC justify another [liquor] license on Asilomar Boulevard?” Councilman Rudy Fischer told The Pine Cone this week that the grill met all the criteria for establishments that are allowed to serve liquor in Pacific Grove. “I suspect [the grill wants] to be able serve alcohol for tournaments, weddings and corporate events,” Fischer said. “and I don’t see how we can stifle business by not allowing them to do something they would be allowed to do in just See LIQUOR page 27A M O N T E R E Y S YM P H O N Y W I N N E R O F 2 01 4 G O L D E N P I N E CO N E !

Opponents of the test well unsuccessfully tried to convince the commission to reject Cal Am’s permit request. Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett said it was gratifying to get the coastal commission’s full support, which, he said, reflects the broad coalition behind the proposed desal plant. “It’s an important step forward,” Burnett told The Pine Cone Thursday. “But we all have to recognize it is just a step in a long process, and it is, after all, a test of the feasibility of the full [desal] project.” Sam Teel, chair of the Monterey County Hospitality Association, told commissioners that without a replacement water supply, the Peninsula’s $2.4 billion tourism industry and its 23,000 jobs are in jeopardy. Teel also said since it’s now evident the Peninsula won’t be able to meet the cutback order’s original deadline of Jan. 2017, making progress toward a desal plant will help convince state officials to let it slide. “If this test well does not go through,” Teel told coastal commissioners, “it certainly looks to them as if we are fumbling the ball.” Carmel River Steelhead Association president Brian LeNeve outlined the fish rescue work his group has done in the lower Carmel River since 1974. Without the desal plant, the fish will “have no chance,” he said. Carmel River Watershed Conservancy president Lorin Letendre told coastal commissioners of the third “significant threatened species” on the Peninsula — humans — before urging them to approve the test well. Peninsula water leaders have had ongoing meetings with state water board staff in Sacramento, including one last week, in hopes they will extend the cutback deadline. Though there were fewer opponents of the test well, they were no less vocal. The Ag Land Trust contends Cal Am’s test well will infringe on water rights and could cause saltwater intrusion of its own water supply. Marc Del Piero, an attorney who is on the Ag Land Trust’s board of directors, said Cal Am’s well will “exploit the groundwater basin under our farmlands.” “We don’t think there has been adequate analysis or modeling to determine whether there will be impacts,” Ag Land Trust attorney Bill Parkin told commissioners. [The test well The Carmel Pine Cone 13A will be used to provide that information.] If the slant well is not successful, Cal Am must decommisWater activist George Riley — whose group Citizens for sion it, according to the conditions the commission set.

Burnett said the coastal commission’s decision sends a message to other desal purveyors in the state that “if you want to pursue a desal plant, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

According to a schedule released by the utility company, they began cutting and trenching in town late last week, and the work is scheduled to continue through mid- May, depending on the weather. PG&E representatives held an open house last month to advise residents of their plans and the process of main replacement, including what would happen if the gas service to their homes has to be interrupted, what to do if they hear gas flowing or smell it, and that landscaping and streets will be repaired. “The company has made significant enhancements to its safety protocols to address public concerns and the California Public Utility Commission’s recommenda- BRINTON’S New Look • New Location AT THE LEMON TREE Patio • Home • tions regarding our ongoing safety work in the city,” utility representatives said. “The CPUC and city have thoroughly evaluated these enhancements, and the CPUC has approved PG&E to get back to work. PG&E is pleased to be able to resume this important safety work at this time.” All non-emergency work on gas lines in the city stopped after a gas leak caused a house at Guadalupe and Third to explode in March. No one was injured, but a few neighboring homes suffered damage, and police and firefighters were not advised of any problems until after the explosion occurred. The accident happened when a worker cut into a steel line without knowing it contained a plastic insert, allowing the gas to leak between the steel and the insert into a house, where it accumulated until the pilot light from an oven caused it to blow up. As the months dragged on while PG&E and city officials grappled with protocols, logistics and other issues, the Safety and Enforcement Division of the California Public Utilities Commission grew concerned that important safety improvements were not being made. “In order to ensure that PG&E Pacific Veterinary Specialists Monterey Garden Our Thanksgiving Gift to You 40% off all our in-stock Tropitone furniture Large Selection to choose from! Treat your guests and family to a relaxing holiday around your beautiful Tropitone furniture. can safely resume non-emergency work in Carmel, SED is requesting that PG&E confirm that it will adopt the following updated procedures as its internal procedures to be followed at least in Carmel going forward,” wrote safety enforcement deputy director Elizaveta Malashenko in an August letter. She asked about enhanced safety measures and work procedures to help crews confirm the information on maps and records is accurate, high-tech equipment to detect plastic inserts, quality control to verify workers are adhering to the enhanced safety measures, training, and plans and procedures for coordinating with emergency responders. On Oct. 3, she sent a letter to Mayor Jason Burnett acknowledging the company’s improved practices. “It is essential that PG&E’s pipeline replacement program is resumed, so that potentially hazardous distribution pipeline can be replaced,” she said. “As I explained in my letter to PG&E, its commitments are necessary for PG&E to go forward with its replacement work in Carmel, and should not be interpreted in any way against SED’s ongoing investigation into possible safety violations in the past.” Offers Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Oncology and Behavior Dr. Merrianne Burtch is an internal medicine specialists, and a founder of Pacific Veterinary Specialists Monterey.

They named it the Apple Pie Inn after one of Ellen’s famous kitchen creations. A decade later, another member of the same family, Esther Pfeiffer Ewoldsen, and her husband, Hans Ewoldsen, took over the inn. Like subsequent owners, the Ewoldsens made improvements to the resort, including changing its name to the River Inn, paying C ELEBRATING ITS 80th birthday this week, the Big Sur River Inn is offering a turn-back-the-clock menu, with prices to match. The inn and its restaurant have long been a hub of activity and commerce along Highway 1, and they actually predate the scenic highway by three years. While convict crews were still busy putting the final touches on the road that would soon take motorists tribute to the Big Sur River, which is located just a few steps away. Gas pumps were soon added as well. Esther also replaced her mother as Big Sur postmaster, moving the post office to where the Heartbeat Gift Gallery is today. The new name took on an added meaning when a manmade “creek” was routed right through the dining room. A walking bridge passed over it. An attraction in its own right, the creek and its bridge existed until the early 1970s. As the gateway to Big Sur Valley’s resort community, the River Inn thrived for decades. But by the time Alan Perlmutter, his wife Nancy Sanders, and several partners bought the resort in 1988, it had fallen on hard times. “We had to clear five bankruptcies before we could take it over,” Perlmutter told The Pine Cone. The new owners were determined to revive its fortunes. “We’ve put $2 million into the place,” he said. Over the past three decades, the River Inn has reestablished itself as one of the pillars of the Big Sur business community. It’s been the site of weddings, memorials and countless fundraisers.

This year’s event exceeded last year’s total by $439,000 — a 30 percent increase. Proceeds from the Concours, donations from participants and sponsors, and the efforts of volunteers contributed to the year’s total. Television personality Jay Leno also made a special guest appearance at the event, where he offered tours of his Big Dog Garage and raised another $78,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County. “My respect never wavers for the heartfelt generosity of my friends from the car collector community,” said Concours Chair Sandra Button. Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours and the philanthropic arm of Pebble Beach Company, supports nearly 100 local nonprofit youth programs and provides $100,000 in yearly college scholarships. The Foundation also works with the Concours to oversee the Phil Hill Scholarships, encouraging the next generation of automotive enthusiasts. WATCHES From page 9A “West had one watch on him, and the other was retrieved at his house,” he said, and the officers brought him back to Monterey County Jail, where he was booked on charges of grand theft and passing bad checks, both felonies. The watches, meanwhile, were returned to FourtanГ©. “I’m not sure what this guy was thinking,” Tomasi said. “He was easily tracked down and easily captured.

New water director gets strong support By KELLY NIX A www.cstpub.com www.amazon.com Get your complete Pine Cone by email — free subscriptions atwww.carmelpinecone.com WATER company official from Del Rey Oaks has been chosen by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District board of directors to fill a spot left vacant by former director Bill Thayer. At its Oct. 20 meeting, directors chose Andrew Clarke to fill the Division 2 vacancy. Clarke’s appointment was preceded by string of endorsements from local business groups and organizations, including the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses. Directors could have called for an election to fill the spot. One other man applied for the seat. Clarke is the assistant controller for the Alisal Water Co., which delivers water to parts of Salinas. He’s held that job since 2005. Division 2 includes Del Rey Oaks and Sand City and parts of Monterey and Seaside. Clarke said his career, coupled with his involvement in various organizations, will bring “additional resources” to the water board, according to a letter he wrote to water district chair Dave Potter for consideration of the position. “I have extensive public utility regulation knowledge, strong accounting and leadership skills and, most importantly, a desire to learn and help my community,” he said. Business coalition co-chairs John Narigi and Mike Zimmerman said Clarke’s background will bring an “unparalleled level” of expertise and experience to the seven-member water board, while Monterey County Hospitality Association chair Sam Teel said he was impressed with Clarke’s experience in finance and knowledge of water issues and systems. “We are also impressed with Mr. Clarke’s commitment to our community, as evidenced by his work in many venues to support community activities and residents,” Teel wrote. Karen Consentino, president of the Monterey County Association of Realtors, and Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, also urged the board to appoint Clarke. A second candidate for Thayer’s spot, Jay Bartow, a retired Presbyterian Church pastor, also threw in his hat for the position.

National Parking & Valet has had a contract with the city since Jan. 1, 2005, overseeing the former paid parking in the north lot at Sunset Center and the tour-bus parking on Junipero Street near the Carmel Plaza. According to that contract, the city retains 68.5 percent of the revenue, but the new agreement adopted by the council ups that to 75 percent. The contract was pulled from the council’s consent calendar at the meeting so police Chief Mike Calhoun could provide updated revenue projections for the new Ocean Avenue meters, which will charge for parking on both sides of the city’s main street between Junipero and Monte Verde streets. The program calls for five kiosks on each side of the street, covering a total of 90 spaces. The cost will be $2 per hour, effective from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with a maximum stay of four hours. The kiosks will accept credit cards, debit cards and coins. Payment can also be made via a smartphone app called Parkmobile. Users will have to enter their license plate numbers and the amount of time they wish to park and, after making payment, they’ll receive receipts showing when their paid parking expires. They won’t have to display them on their dashboards. Enforcement officers will carry handheld devices that read license plate numbers and connect to a computer server that will tell them whether a car should be ticketed. “At the conclusion of the six-month trial program, the city may extend the program on a month-to-month basis,” Calhoun said in his report. “The pilot parking ambassador program is for two months, consisting of two employees from National Parking & Valet educating and assisting residents and citizens operating the multi-space parking pay stations.” According to figures provided by Calhoun, the total revenues expected during the six-month period, based on the maximum of $22 daily for 90 parking spots over the course of 181 days, is $304,623. Of that, National would receive $76,156. Transaction costs would total $45,612, with another $18,900 for the park- ing ambassadors, and $21,320 for maintenance, consultants, miscellaneous expenses and digital technology, bringing the total net revenues to $142,635. “National Parking has been a partner with us since 2005, so we’re asking them to be a part of our parking pilot program as well,” Calhoun told the council. He also suggested the city might want to waive some of the parking fees for holiday shoppers, and give parking coupons to shop owners to provide for their customers. “It’s a big change for the city, and we’re trying to make it as customer-friendly as we can,” Calhoun told The Pine Cone before the meeting.

It’s a real indication of the lack of depth.” The Carmel Pine Cone 21A But they could find some relief soon. The city is going to begin recruiting for the community services assistant job, which the council revised last week to place more emphasis on special events coordination and less on secretarial duties, as well as for the position of human resources manager. Schmitz is also looking at outsourcing payroll and human resources, if the city receives strong proposals from potential vendors. In the meantime, he thanked what’s left of the city’s workforce for making so much effort and picking up whatever tasks and challenges he places before them. “For right now,” Schmitz said, “everyone is being as versatile as they can, covering their basic assignments and whatever is asked of them until we can get some bodies in the organization.” FREEDOM SENIOR SERVICES Providers of Courteous, Professional & (Й€VYKHISL*VTWHUPVU*HYL:LY]PJLZPU 4VU[LYL`:HU[H*Y\a:HU)LUP[V*V\U[PLZ We Offer A Vaariety Of Services To Our Clients Including: • Assistance with Meal Preparation • Bathing, Grooming & Dressing Home Cl Cleaning Outdoor • LLaundr d y, H i and dO d M Maintenance Transportation for Shopping, Errands or • Tr M Medical Visits (G Gurney & Wheelchair Service Also Available) • Outings, O Pet Care/Walking & More • Flexible F Scheduling & Night Services A Available 3KRQHXVWRGD\WRVFKHGXOH\RXUIUHHFRQVXOWDWLRQ SCHMITZ From page 1A employee expense unless directed to attend by the city council.” Schmitz can be reimbursed up to $500 for moving back to Carmel from Oregon, where he was living when Burnett contacted him to ask whether he would be interested in helping to lead the city in Stilwell’s wake, and will be paid back for work-related expenses, as well. Unlike Stilwell’s contract, it does not include any severance or retirement contributions, or bonuses like the $5,000 Stilwell was promised for not leaving before his contract expired, and the $8,000 in incentives “tied to the accomplishment of the city’s key initiatives and goals.” When Stilwell and the city parted ways in early October, following a tumultuous reign that saw numerous longtime employees fired or forced out, and expensive and questionable contracts with outside consultants signed, the council agreed to pay him between $150,000 and $160,000 in severance, as well as benefits for him and his family. “I wanted to publically thank Doug for being willing to come out of retirement to serve Carmel, and to do so while asking for a lower salary than our previous city administrator, and with reduced benefits,” Burnett said at the meeting. “Those are significant savings and much appreciated.” He also noted “the service and the sacrifice I know you and your wife are making,” and the council unanimously approved the agreement, which will continue until either side provides 45 days’ notice to the other.

Five years ago, the vote would surely have gone the other way. Desal is badly needed by humans who live in the Monterey Peninsula, of course, and may soon be needed by their counterparts all over the state. Our desal plant is also essential for the restoration of the habitat along the Carmel River. But desal is “development,” which means that, regardless of its importance, the coastal commission would have unthinkingly opposed it in a not-too-long-ago era. This week, the commission overruled the City of Marina when it approved the permit; throughout its history, the commission has mostly been in the business of doing the opposite and rejecting permits for things local governments approved. What’s changed? Two things: First of all, the commission has a new executive director. Charles Lester is proving to be much less of an unthinking zealot than his predecessor, Peter Douglas, was. But, where the Monterey Peninsula’s water project is concerned, an even more important change is that Jason Burnett is mayor of Carmel. “But, sir, your visits keep our little town going.” Burnett has certainly had his share of troubles lately, and has been rightly criticized for his role in the Jason Stilwell mess. But he has also played an indisputably key role in helping move our desal Letters to the Editor plant through the permit process. He’s been able to do this because of his Democratic Party credentials and his strong record of protecting the environment when he worked at the EPA. No one questions his commitment to clean air, clean water, responsible development and the protection of endangered species. But Burnett has also shown himself to be a committed advocate for the needs of people — particularly, their housing and their jobs. Without new water, this community’s economy will continue to face collapse The Pine Cone encourages submission of letters which address issues of public importance. Letters cannot exceed 350 words, and must include the author’s name, telephone number and street address. Please do not send us letters which have been submitted to other newspapers. We reserve the right to determine which letters are suitable for publication and to edit for length and clarity. The Pine Cone only accepts letters to the editor by email. Please submit your letters to [email protected] in the event of a serious drought or if state officials decide to enforce their infamous water cutback order. Meanwhile, just with the water shortage we have now, job creation is stifled, badly needed affordable housing can’t be built, and businesses are unable to expand to meet demand. Meanwhile, the Carmel River dries up much earlier — and farther inland — than it would if we weren’t taking so much water from it. Burnett understands all these things. And, because of who he is, when he says, “We need a water project,” people who would otherwise turn their backs on the entire subject stop and pay attention, including many people at the antidevelopment end of the political spectrum. Of course, numerous local officials and community leaders are striving to bring our water project to fruition, just as they have for years. But there’s a difference now, and that difference is Jason Burnett. в– Publisher . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Paul Miller ([email protected]) в– Production and Sales Manager . . . . . . .

His reign, which should be forgettable, remains toxic and financially painful. It appears he was unprepared, ill-suited, naive, foolish, vulnerable, and easily conned into an experiment in bad governance conducted in a 1-square-mile laboratory. For those employees who have been hurt, there are legal processes. For those who knew or should have known the obvious, hopefully, there is realization and embarrassment of their sins, perhaps enhanced by financial penalties. For the electorate, it appears there will be watching and waiting with resolve to never, never allow this level The Carmel Pine Cone www.carmelpinecone.com of ineptitude to occur again. Thanks to The Pine Cone for jobs well done. John Gilmore, Carmel Where’s the petition? Dear Editor, Where can I find a petition to sign, to get rid of (I mean recall) Mayor Jason Burnett? Even though the entire city council is to blame, the buck stops with him. Where can I sign? Margaret Hurley, Carmel Stilwell вЂ�profited’ Dear Editor, Regarding your Nov. 7 editorial about the bitter end of the Stilwell Administration: It was bitter for everyone except Stilwell. He profited through raises, bonuses, crony contracts, and what not, and he’s given a golden parachute to leave with no sullying of his name in future references. I join your reader Heidi Short in saying shame on the council, and also say the entire council should resign. Monte Davis, Carmel Valley вЂ�Behavior inexcusable’ Dear Editor, Your Nov. 7 editorial was absolutely stellar. You hit the nail on the head. I’m short of words to express how great I feel about how and what you wrote. Without the excellent work of The Pine Cone, Jason Stilwell would still be raining havoc in and on Carmel.

A California Corporation The Carmel Pine Cone was established in 1915 and is a legal newspaper for Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County and the State of California, established by Superior Court Decree No. 35759, July 3, 1952 November 14, 2014 The Carmel Pine Cone 23A Is it time to recall the council? The glint of Clint W HEN I went to get my mail Saturday morning, I encountered a young man standing in front of the post office handing out copies of a leaflet that described itself in bold print as a “Letter of Intent” to prepare and circulate a “Petition to Recall City of Carmel-By-The-Sea Council Members.” The articulated grounds? “Misconduct, malfeasance in office … cronyism, neglect and clear incompetence, betrayal of public trust.” My first reaction was to dismiss the idea of a recall out of hand. Thinking about it, though, it seems to me that perhaps there was a measure “neglect and clear incompetence” that some might say constituted a “betrayal of public trust.” The mayor and council members all but acknowledged as much in last week’s concession that their governance was less than stellar, and in their apologies for the deficiencies in their performance. While I still consider a recall ill advised, the thought did give me pause. I should mention parenthetically that even if I supported a recall, it would not include Steve Dallas; he was only elected to the council in April of this year and was not a member of that legislative body during the Stilwell/Paul witch hunt. Nor was he involved when the idea of giving Stilwell a contract extension and raise was trumpeted as a brilliant means of keeping a sterling city administrator whose “performance overall has been excellent and impressive” — according to Mayor Jason Burnett — and who performed his difficult job “in such a wonderful way” — according to councilwoman Victoria Beach. Less than 10 months later, of course, Stilwell was shown the very door he and Susan Paul showed to Linda Macdonald, John Hanson, Leslie Fenton, and Margi Perotti, among others. Recalling Dallas would be assessing guilt by association. Were the other four guilty of “neglect and clear incompetence” sufficient to justify turning them out of office? Probably not. It’s hard to make the claim that they substantially neglected their duties. It’s more that the level of apparent competence with which they performed them will not earn them a slot in any governmental hall of fame. But if we start emptying federal, state and local legislative bodies of those who have In Any Case By NEIL SHAPIRO achieved at best no more than marginal competence, the halls of government will become quiet indeed. We also need to be fair. We sometimes have greater expectations of others than they are capable of meeting. People who serve on small-town councils usually have other jobs, and families, that compete for their time and attention, and few have backgrounds that equip them to run what at its core is a complex business. They are, in a sense, amateurs in a context in which some measure of expertise is required. We need to remember that and judge them accordingly. That said, this group has not distinguished itself. There is little point to be served by recounting all of the things that they missed, most of which they now acknowledge. Were they guilty of “misconduct” or “malfeasance in office?” No. But they were guilty of naivete, and on a grand scale. They listened to Stilwell, nodding like bobblehead dolls and accepting everything that he and the consultants he hired told them, questioning none of it even when others around them did. Were it not for Carolina Bayne’s petition drive and march on city hall, they might still be playing the choir to See SHAPIRO page 25A D ear Mr. Eastwood, I’m glad you served as mayor of Carmel. I did not vote for you. However, I have a good excuse. I didn’t live here at the time. You served only one term, but your tenure as mayor has been a boon to me. This has nothing whatsoever to do with politics, and everything to do with cashing in on celebrity cachet — yours, not mine. First a confession. We’ve never met. I don’t know where you live. But occasionally I have pointed out various houses as being yours while giving out-of-towners my 50cent tour of Carmel. They’re happier thinking the house in their snapshot belongs to Dirty Harry. I apologize. I’ll never do it again. Unless I have to. And thanks for being nice to my wife. Many years ago when she was single and visiting Carmel, you accidentally bumped into her on the sidewalk outside Em Le’s Restaurant. You apologized. She’d just seen the first Dirty Harry movie, but was so stunned running in to you she blanked on your name. Fortunately her memory recovered and she never forgot that day. Fast forward several years! Mary and I were in France. She did something guaranteed to make any vacation unforgettable (other than running into you). She fell and snapped her ankle in three places, the most number of places it’s legal to snap an ankle in France. At the emergency room in Avignon, a young doctor asked where we were from. “California,” I said. “Where in California?” “Carmel,” I told him. His eyes widened. “Cleent Eastwood is your mayor, no?” You’d been out of office many years but I said, “Oui,” anyway, amazed that he’d even heard of Carmel. “You know Cleent Eastwood?” he asked excitedly. “I’m afraid not,” I admitted. He looked crestfallen. There’s nothing worse than a fallen crest when you’re in the ER. The next day Mary was in a hospital room when in came the chief of surgery. He shook my hand. “You are from Carmel in California?” he said to me. “Oui,” I replied. “Your mayor is Cleent Eastwood, no?” Wilde Times By LARRY WILDE “Oui,” I said. (I speak French fluently as long as it’s “oui” and “merci”). “You know Cleent Eastwood?” I remembered the crestfallen doc in the ER the night before. Not wanting to take a chance on disappointing the guy who wielded the scalpel, I said, “I see him regularly.” This is totally true. I have spotted you many times shopping at Whole Foods and Earthbound Farms. You may not remember me, but I was the gray-haired character with all the vegetables. Well, from then on, Mary was on favoredpatient status in that French hospital. All the orderlies, nurses and doctors asked about Cleent. You may be even more popular in France than you are in Carmel. Have you ever considered running for mayor of Avignon? Just a thought, in case the movie business ever goes south. The head of surgery, Dr. Arakalion, installed the Eiffel Tower of metal in Mary’s ankle himself. The day she was released from the hospital, he stopped by to say farewell. “Tell Cleent Eastwood I did a good job on your ankle, no?” So I’m telling you now — Dr. Arakalion did a good job on my wife’s ankle, no?

Of the 403 names on the great register, 292 citizens voted. The surprise of the count was the showing made by the Socialists. Benson, candidate for President, received 81 votes here, or nearly thirty percent of all the votes cast here for President. Mills, candidate for Senator, received more votes than Patton, and Governor Johnson had as many as both together. Rigdon, who has been elected State Senator, ran behind Boyce in this precinct. In most of the precincts of Monterey Peninsula, the count was completed at about 3 a.m., but Carmel’s efficient election board, which had more votes to count than most of the others, had final figures before 1 o’clock. The Pine Cone’s announcement of Hughes’ election was based upon telegraphic advices received at 6 o’clock Wednesday morning. Many journals made a similar announcement. of fancy have been indulged in until alleged newspaper readership has little relation to the actual population. However, there has been developed in recent years a tool to be used by the public to gauge all manner of things, a tool which permits the relative standing of newspapers to be determined accurately and without doubt. This is the type of survey perfected by Dr. Gallup of the American Institute of Public Opinion. The uncannily correct results shown by Dr. Gallup in his tabulation of opinions, habits, and actions have been publicized far and wide. The n 75 Years Ago — November 17, 1939 Who Reads the Pine Cone? Publishers of newspapers in small towns are rather vague about their circulation figures. They are inclined to dismiss the questions of advertisers with an airy wave of the hand and a glittering generality which indicates that everyone reads their newspaper. This is not done with the intention of being dishonest, but because of the competition which exists in most small communities. If one publisher states what his actual circulation is, it is putting too much temptation in the path of his competitor, or his competitor’s advertising representative. Even in such a delightful community as Carmel, where respect for the truth prevails more than in most places, newspaper circulation figures are difficult to obtain.

According to the discovery recently made by Herbert I. Priestly, Curator of the Bancroft Library of the University of California, credit for planning the settlement of Upper California by the Spaniards is due, not to Junipero Serra, hero of the missions, but to visitor-general Jose de Galvez. In a volume just published, Priestly, who has done very extensive research work in manuscripts of early California history, gives credit for planning the missions to Galvez, and the honor for building them to Father Serra. He says: “Galves found that the military management by Gaspar de Portola’s soldiers had caused the Lower California missions to suffer, and he restored management of their affairs to Father Junipero Serra. When Galves proposed the establishment of Missions in Upper California, the College of San Fernando, which had charge of the California missions, was bitterly opposed to the plan of establishing so many new missions and at such remote distances, but Father Serra was an enthusiastic supporter of the plan Galvez proposed.” The work of research in California history has been promoted by the Native Sons, who have annually appropriated $3,000 to the State University for the maintenance of scholarships. Gallup method is an integral part of all modern newspaper, advertising, radio and political procedures. For this reason, The Pine Cone feels extremely fortunate that it was able to avail itself of the services of a person trained in the Gallup methods for a survey of the reading habits of the people of the Carmel area.

Louise Marie Govan Wilson Loving wife, nurturing Mother and devoted friend, passed away in her Monterey home, surrounded by her family on Wednesday, October 29 at the age of 65 after a courageous battle with cancer for 8 years. A resident of both Monterey and Palo Alto, she was born in Montreal, Canada and raised by her loving parents William and Marie (Vandette) Govan. She was the youngest of three children, alongside: William & John Govan. She is survived by her beloved husband Carlyle “Lad” Landis Wilson and three children: Lindsay Paulette Mahacek, Laura Marie Smith and Landis Trent Wilson. After attending Sacred Heart high school in Rochester, New York Louise went on to work for Dr. James Gills an Ophthalmologist in Port Richie, Florida. Louise loved living in Florida, everything from the “sugar” sand of Clearwater Beach to the barefoot skiing in the canals with the alligators. He inspired her to continue her career and further her education by graduating from Georgetown University as a Certified Ophthalmic Technician. On her graduation trip traveling throughout Europe, she met her husband Lad in Madrid, Spain and together continued to travel the world. Above all the work she had ever done, she loved being the best Mom in the world. She considered her children her legacy. From all the family photos (every family photo was a potential Christmas picture), to family ski trips across North America and Europe. We all cherished the family vacations, but nothing beats sleeping under the stars in our boat docked in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. In addition to her family, her friends meant the world to her. Her friends knew her as enthusiastic, compassionate and always having a warm smile that would light up the room. She was the essence of a true lady who loved her proper high tea time, luncheons with the ladies, afternoon tennis, lemon drops, milk, egg sandwiches, dancing the night away, and always trying to get her girls to be more “girly.” She once told her daughter, “it’s nighttime, you can wear more makeup.” She loved her TV shows, don’t get in the middle of her and Downton Abbey, trust me! Music was spiritual to her, from The Beatles to Lionel Richie. Some of her favorite quotes: “we’re all L’s,” “actions speak louder than words,” “it’s all about give and take” and “treat others the way you would want to be treated.” Louise will be remembered as being a giving, genuine, benevolent yet tenacious person and always a fighter from beginning till the end. For our Mother: May you always walk in sunshine and God s love around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God called you home. CORNER CUTIE Open Saturday 1:00 to 3:00 Northwest Corner Carpenter & 2nd Carmel-by-the-Sea for under $700,000.

A visitation at the Cathedral will precede the mass beginning at 9:30am. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to Ignatius Jesuit Centre, Guelph, Ontario, Canada (ignatiusguelph.ca).

From page 23A Stilwell’s lead. I am prepared to assume that the subjects of this column are innately smart enough to govern our small town, and have a genuine desire to do so effectively. What they have lacked, it seems to me, is a healthy dollop of skepticism or cynicism. People do not always tell the truth. People sometimes serve their own agendas while pretending not to. People sometimes mislead. To survive in a position of governance, one must keep those dirty little realities in mind. One must question the motives of others, and question their words as well. I wish it were otherwise, but it’s not. So back to the recall petition. What good would it serve? Who would replace the present holders of the five legislative seats? More amateurs no more equipped to do the job than the present incumbents? I’d give the mayor and the council members another chance to prove that they can represent us properly. After all, I think they’re a little smarter now than they were a couple of months ago. I even have faith that they’ve developed a fledgling sense of skepticism. If not, we can always recall them later. WILDE From page 23A But that’s not all. Speed ahead several years. Mary and I are shopping at a market in Marbella, Spain, buying ingredients to make paella. I was getting the seafood while she shopped for everything else, but I was having trouble communicating with the fishmonger. Behind me some fellow who sounded very American says, “Can I help you? I speak Spanish.” I turned to face a tall, silver-haired guy, ruggedly handsome, athletically built. “Where in the states are you from?” he inquired. “California,” I said. “Where in California?” “Carmel,” I said. “Then you must know my friend, Clint Eastwood,” he said. “No, but I see him around town.” “Next time, say hello from Peter Viertel.” And so, Mr. Eastwood, “Hello from Peter Viertel.” Sorry it took so long. Peter is no longer with us, but he made Spain memorable for us. As you know, Peter was an ex-pat screenwriter who grew up in Hollywood, hung out with Hemingway and John Huston, married Deborah Kerr and made a movie with you. Most of this is in his autobiography, which he autographed for us that day. He invited us for cocktails and gave us the grand tour of his house. His office contained five manual typewriters (he hated electrics) and a collection of bullfighting posters (he loved matadors). So, Mr. Eastwood, let me wind this up by saying it’s been a real pleasure not knowing you. I don’t travel as much these days, but I’ve always wanted to go on an African safari. We’ve been warned it might be a little rough. But there are probably F.O.C.s (Friends of Clint) in Kenya, too, so maybe we’ll give it a shot. Your fellow octogenarian, L.W.

For violating state law when he was married, Parker agreed to a $2.5 million settlement, with the condition the money benefit Big Sur conservation and public access projects. Last month, the coastal commission announced the dispersal of $1.4 million to eight applicants. For its role in the wedding, Ventana agreed to reopen the campground, build the pedestrian trails, establish the parking area and install about a dozen signs making it easy for hikers to find the campground and the trails. One sign will be posted along Highway 1, which will no doubt increase foot traffic along the Coast Ridge Road, which offers sweeping views of Big Sur Valley and the ocean. Ventana is also required to submit a long-term plan for eradicating invasive plants on its property, particularly those like genista — also known as Scotch broom — which create fuel for wildfires. about any other location in the city.” Though Fischer said he understands some people are against serving alcohol due to religious beliefs or other reasons, “that is not the way to run a city.” “To run a city means we need to collect tax revenue, and the way to do that is allow businesses to be successful,” he said. “I hope that those who want services realize that we have to raise money in order to be able to provide those services.” At the Nov. 5 meeting, a handful of residents spoke out against serving liquor. Councilman Dan Miller, the only council member who voted against the idea, said at an October meeting that he believes allowing liquor to be served at the grill will mean problems. The city council also amended the restaurant’s 2012 use permit to say “service of alcohol beverages is permitted, subject to the holding of an approved ABC license.” Lee Willoughby said she’s planning to mail Lefler the petition for the agency’s consideration. LETTERS From page 22A Woods chips instead of lawn deck, some of the Monterey Bay’s finest musicians continue to perform, carrying on a musical legacy established by Jake Stock and the Abalone Stompers, Barefoot and the Big Sur Natives. It’s a place where visitors drag wooden lawn chairs down to the river on warm summer days and soak their toes in the cool water as it ripples past on its way to the ocean. And perhaps more than anything, it has retained an enduring connection to its past — no easy task in the 21st century. “We look back with fondness and appreciation of the Pfeiffers and the Ewoldsens,” Perlmutter said. “They started a rich tradition here of fine food, excellent service and warm hospitality. We and our dedicated staff of more than 50 continue to honor those traditions today.” For five nights starting Monday, Nov. 17, the River Inn will offer Esther’s Blue Plate Specials for just $5. Big Sur Goulash will be served on Monday, an open-face roast beef sandwich on Tuesday, spaghetti and meatballs on Wednesday, savory meat loaf on Thursday, and pan-fried Pheneger Creek Trout on Friday. And throughout each day, Ellen’s Apple Pie will be available for just 26 cents per slice — or 36 cents a la mode. Perlmutter invited locals and visitors to join the fun and help the inn celebrate its 80th birthday. “We want to recognize the wonderful history of our inn and thank everyone for eight decades of support, encouragement, warmth and camaraderie,” he added. Even as a removed party, I hope the voters replace the mayor and council members responsible for this horrendous lack of governmental oversight. Their behavior was/is inexcusable. Harvey A. Shymanski, East Aurora, N.Y. вЂ�True scary facts’ Dear Editor, On behalf of all the citizens of Pacific Grove, I want to thank John Moore for his courage as a reluctant mayoral candidate in the recent election. John informed us of the true scary facts about Pacific Grove’s financial crisis. John clearly refuted the financial “facts” promoted by the city staff and mayor with the facts. I feel it is now the duty of the mayor of Pacific Grove an the council to stop misleading the citizens of Pacific Grove and follow the municipal code and the city charter. Annette Corcoran, Pacific Grove CENTURY From page 24A facts and had no interest in the facts once they were collected. The range of the survey was comprehensive. The results are interesting. They disclose that 77 percent of the people of the Carmel area read the Carmel Pine Cone, giving it a lead in this territory over both the daily newspaper published in Monterey and the second local newspaper. In fairness to the daily paper, it should be stated that the survey indicates that the actual subscribers to the daily slightly exceed those to The Pine Cone, The Pine Cone’s lead in total readership coming from those who buy the paper on the street or have other arrangements to read it without subscribing. However, the second weekly newspaper in Carmel is below The Pine Cone in both subscriptions and total readers. A certain number of people, of course, read both the local weekly newspapers. It is interesting to note that, in response to a question as to which they favoured, 84 percent more preferred The Pine Cone than favoured the other local paper. Dear Editor, The Pacific Grove city government is destroying the lawn at Lovers Point. They will say it’s because of the drought, but I believe it has been done more to get a big-money grant from Cal Am to go toward the town’s never-ending debt. The money is coming first, before the beauty of this crown jewel of Pacific Grove. Let it dry out during the drought. When it rains, much will come back. That’s nature. But to remove the sod itself and replace it with wood chips will be an ugly and costly mistake that guarantees no re-growth, no weddings, no artists or photographers, fewer restaurant patrons and fewer of our bigticket item, tourists. And who will pay to keep the notoriously messy wood chips neat and tidy? And finally, should we ever get the chance to replace that lawn, (which will be surprisingly expensive) the City of Pacific Grove will ask for a new special tax or fee to do so. Or will reach out for donations and volunteers. Such are things in today’s Pacific Grove. Renata Yundt, Pacific Grove The Monterey County Planning Commission sent the preliminary plan for the new development, Carmel Views, to the Carmel commission to review and prepare recommendations prior to a meeting of the county planners for consideration of the project. The county group also asked the Carmel commission to send a representative to this meeting on November 24. Planning Director Floyd Adams will be the delegate. The plan for Carmel Views was prepared for developer Russell Galloway of Carmel by the firm of Sasaki, Walker and Lackey Associates, Inc. The 210 acres to be developed are divided into 30 clustertype areas containing 185 building sites. Lot sizes average .66 of an acre, with one-half acre the minimum lot size. Sixty-six acres are designated as greenbelt. Mr. Adams was authorized yesterday to inform county planners that Carmel commissioners were concerned about the fact that most of the greenbelt was in canyons beyond precipitous home sites and not visible to the public, and thus did not serve as greenbelt or conform to the area plan. Another concern of the commission was that the most densely forested area of the subdivision was to be used for homes. — Compiled by Christopher Good FREE Accessory up to $615 value with the purchase of any Regency fireplace NOW THROUGH 11/24/14 the “Serving y r Monte e Peninsula ” 3 since 196 221 Grand Avenue, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 831-372-4474 Support Pine Cone advertisers — shop locally! n 50 Years Ago — November 19, 1964 New Subdivision Upsets Planners A subdivision planned for land north of Rancho Rio Vista at the entrance to Carmel Valley aroused concern in the minds of Carmel planning commissioners yesterday afternoon. C.V. flue fire causes $200K in damage A RENTAL home in Carmel Valley Village suffered significant damage Thursday when a fire spread from the chimney flue into the living room and through the roof, according to Dorothy Priolo, spokeswoman for Monterey County Regional Fire. A neighbor reported seeing flames coming from the roof at around 12:15 p.m. Nov. 13, and firefighters managed to keep the fire from spreading to the other rooms in the house. Priolo said damage was estimated at around $200,000. No one was at home at the time, and a pet dog was safe in the yard. The Red Cross assisted the renters, who were displaced by the fire.

In California for a brief tour that included shows in Redding and Berkeley, Asleep at the Wheel’s two newest members, fiddler Katie Holmes and singer/pianist Emily Gimble, shared a few words this week with The Pine Cone. Both women, it turns out, were introduced to music by grandfathers who played the fiddle. “My grandfather used to come over and bring his fiddle,” Holmes recalled. “My brother and I started playing the fiddle. But I was really inspired to play by Emily’s grandfather.” Gimble’s grandfather was none other than Johnny Gimble, who is widely considered one of the greatest fiddlers in the history of Western swing, which brings together elements of country and jazz. “I started playing the fiddle when I was 4 or 5,” said Gimble, who joined Asleep at the Wheel in August. “But it was too intimidating, so I starting to sing, and then I took up piano so I wouldn’t be just another singer without an instru- ment.” Born and raised in Texas, both women fell in love with Western swing at an early age — and naturally, became fans of Asleep at the Wheel. “It’s hard to grow up in Texas and not be familiar with Asleep at the Wheel,” Holmes said. “When I heard them, I couldn’t stand still and I wanted to play music. It’s funny now that I’m in the band.” Gimble’s connection with Asleep at the Wheel also dates back to her childhood. “My grandfather used to play with them,” explained Gimble, who was smitten with swing from the start. “I think people get bit by swing bug and they can’t let it go.” Now Holmes and Gimble share the stage with lead singer Ray Benson, who co-founded the band in 1969 — long before either was born. “He’s an incredible singer,” Gimble said. “He gives it all he has every night night. He’s dedicated his whole life to keeping swing music alive.” The music starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29 to $49. Sunset Center is located at San Carlos and Ninth.

Featuring Adam Barnett-Hart and Aaron Boyd on violin, Dane Johansen on cello and Pierre Lapointe on viola, The Escher Quartet performs Friday, Nov. 14, at Sunset Center. “They’re one of the really hot up-and-coming quartets,” said Amy Anderson, the artistic director for Chamber Music On A High Note By CHRIS COUNTS Monterey Bay, which is presenting the concert. The program for Friday’s concert includes Haydn’s Quartet No. 41 in D Major, Op 50, “Frog”; Shostakovich’s Quartet No. 15 in E-flat minor, Op. 144; and DvorГЎk’s Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 51. “I love the program,” Anderson offered. “Haydn is a master of subtlety, humor and surprise. He’s the father of the string quartet, and he’s so much fun. Shostakovich’s music is serious, heartbreaking and beautiful. The piece they’re playing is his last quartet and it’s a magnificent piece of music. And DvorГЎk’s music is always so lovely to listen to.” In addition to performing at Sunset Center, the quartet this See MUSIC page 35A Singer/pianist Emily Gimble and fiddler Katie Holmes (left) of Asleep at the Wheel are keeping alive the tradition of Western swing music.

Plein air painters celebrate state parks, вЂ�YACsters’ host holiday show P AYING TRIBUTE to California’s extensive network of state parks, the Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association kicks off its annual Members Art Exhibition Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Carmel Visual Arts Gallery. As the name of painting group implies, all of the pieces in the show were painted on location at Point Lobos State Reserve, Garrapata State Park and other state parks in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. Pacific Grove artist Stan Robbins will jury the show. Founded in 2005, the nonprofit group represents nearly 80 painters, including familiar local names like Cyndra Bradford, Christine Crozier, Cornelia Emery, Sybil Johnson, Rolf Lygren and more. Among its many activities, the group offers painting excursions to scenic spots throughout the region. The group was recently named a Champion of the Arts by the Arts Council of Monterey County. “Our group has really blossomed,” “Westcliff Keyhole” (left) by Julia Seelos is featured in an exhibit of paintings depicting local state parks. said one of its members, Maria Boisvert. “We’ve become a force in the art community.” The gallery, which hosts a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., is Art Roundup By CHRIS COUNTS located above the Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting Company in The Barnyard shopping center.

The monks at the Big Sur coastal retreat have been making fruitcakes and date cakes for decades, and recently added granola to their repertoire. All three are available either online or in the gift shop, which is open to the public. Located 1,300 feet above sea level in the Santa Lucia Mountains and more than 60 miles from the closest city, the monastery has drawn travelers and seekers since it was founded more than a half-century ago. Due to its isolation, the community is largely independent, providing its own power, water, road and building maintenance, and other functions. Those are funded in part through sales in the gift gallery and bookstore, where the treats are available this time of year. One-pound cakes sell for $22, 3-pound cakes go for $43, and the granola sells for $12.50. See www.hermitagebigsur.com to order, or call (866) 886-0544. n Eating for the arts Three of the Monterey Peninsula’s most talented pastry chefs convened for a popup dinner at Lilify on Lighthouse Avenue in New Monterey last Sunday to help raise money for the Youth Arts Collective, and their edible art drew raves from those gathered there to indulge themselves for the benefit of young artists. YAC, which has a studio and gallery, hosts after-school art and mentorship programs for high-school and college stu- dents who learn art, job and life skills, “and gain a healthy dose of self-esteem and gratitude along the way.” Ben Spungin of Coastal Luxury Management, Yulanda Santos of Sierra Mar at the Post Ranch Inn and Ron Mendoza of Aubergine got in touch with their savory sides when they produced a light, vegetarian dinner of parsnip and truffle salad on a shortbread of parmesan and hazelnut; pumpkin soup in delicata squash with pepitas, pear and sage; and charred carrots with faro, onions and pear. Spungin stacked boxes of various hues of chocolate, the top two partially formed and housing a perfect white-chocolate egg. Splashes of color decorated their exteriors, which were surrounded and adorned with Spungin’s signature painted truffles, and tasty granola-based bites topped with cream and slices of dried pear, the featured fruit of the evening. Santos, meanwhile, created a forest floor of smoked chocolate dusts, with a tree and leaves to match, and Mendoza fashioned lemon-crГЁme-filled white-chocolate pears that were dusted green and nestled among mosses and leaves. The YAC supporters were suitably impressed — and in sugar shock — by the time they left, each carrying a small painting of a pear created by a “YACster,” and a goodie bag containing a “midnight snack” from each of the chefs. The studio is also holding its annual holiday art show and sale Friday, Nov. 14, from 5 to 9 p.m. at 472 Calle Principal in downtown Monterey.

Nor Cal Storage Auctions, Inc. Bond #7900390179 Publication date: Nov. 7, 14, 2014 (PC1105) 40 A The Carmel Pine Cone November 14, 2014 Bubbles & Bags to raise funds for girls’ health By MARY SCHLEY T HE COMMUNITY Foundation for Monterey County is organizing Bubbles & Bags, an afternoon of sipping on sparkling wine and bidding on purses Saturday, Nov. 15, to raise money for the Girls’ Health in Girls’ Hands initiative. The event, which will include a silent auction of “new, gently loved and vintage bags,” will take place at the Beach and Tennis Club in Pebble Beach, starting with a sneak preview at 11 a.m. That “First Peek Preview” — which will cost $100 per person — will allow guests to shop at “Buy it Now” prices until noon. During that time, they’ll have their pick of the 350 bags that were donated for the event, including purses, satchels, clutches and handbags by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Judith Leiber, Valentino, Burberry, Ann Taylor, Tory Burch, Cole Hahn, Max Mara and Yves Saint Laurent. “Buy it Now” prices range from $10 to $5,000. From noon to 3 p.m., the festivities will continue with a silent auction, plus a guest appearance by “renowned purse and accessory designer” Mary Frances of San Francisco, courtesy of Augustina’s of Carmel. There is no admission charge for the auction, and wine will be served throughout. The Girls’ Health in Girls’ Hands initiative benefiting from Bubbles & Bags “is a girl-led movement for health empowerment and leadership for girls between 11 and 18 years old in Monterey County,” according to organizers. It’s an initiative of the foundation’s women’s fund, “which invests in the potential of girls and increasing economic security for women,” because when women thrive, their families and communities thrive, too. Bubbles & Bags is hosted by Pebble Beach Company, and sponsored by numerous businesses and services. The auction is being coordinated by a volunteer committee cochaired by Judie Profeta and Stephanie Harkness. To RSVP and preregister for bidding, visit www.2014BubblesandBags.eventbrite.com, and for more information, call (831) 375-9712, ext. 120.
