Council OKs replacement STUDY: CITY SUBSIDIZES SERVICES BY $1M A YEAR

a few members of the public, and six out of the seven people
running for public office in April (Jack Pappadeas didn’t
attend). Overall, Johnson said taxpayers subsidize “personal
choice services,” like permits to build houses or hold events
in downtown parks, by just under $950,000 — and he recommended fee changes to decrease that number by about
$587,000.
Last August, the city approved a $24,750 contract with
Revenue & Cost Specialists to review all of the fees, with an
eye toward determining how well they reflect the actual costs
of delivering the “service.” Having hard numbers would then
allow the council to determine how much fees should be
raised so that tax dollars aren’t paying for services that benefit individuals or small groups, as opposed to the larger
community, which benefits from taxpayer-funded services
like police, fire and ambulance.
Johnson met with city employees to learn how much time
they spend undertaking particular tasks and also calculated
their hourly rates based on pay, plus overhead. “We developed a fully allocated hourly rate for every position in the
city,” he explained.
historic artifacts in town, in that it was cast in 1692 — 21
years before Carmel Mission founder Junipero Serra was
born — according to proponents.
The American Legion and planning commissioner Ian
Martin are working on getting detailed drawings for the new
bell approved by the historic resources board, and then having it cast, which has been estimated to cost around $10,000.
In the meantime, Martin said, the American Legion is
LTHOUGH SOME large trees fell in the Forest
Theater during the last round of wind storms, the dry spell of
the last couple of weeks has allowed construction crews to
make good progress on the Forest Theater renovation, project
manager Andy Vanderford told the Carmel City Council
March 1.
Compared with the mid-April completion date discussed
during the last update a month ago, he said, the job should be
“substantially complete” by March 31 — “well in advance of
the date that the first user group needs to start rehearsals and
set work, which is May 1.”
Vanderford said he met with Otto Construction and Cody
Anderson Wasney architects to walk the site and review the
work, as well as the timeline.
“It was noted that although there was some discussion at
last month’s city council meeting regarding potential delays
and the reasons for such delays, in fact, none of the parties
involved in the project were holding up the process,” he said.
“All parties continue to work diligently to complete the project prior to the May 1 date that the user groups will want
access to the theater.”
And if something goes wrong and the work isn’t done by
then, he said, arrangements could be made to let the user
Undercharging?
For the most part, Johnson found, the city is undercharging for permits, licenses and the like. Many fell in the several-thousand-dollar range, like applications for minor design
review, which cost $31,752 to process, but the fees collected
only totaled $12,399. The greatest disparities were in major
design review ($41,977 in fees and $117,770 in costs) and
building plan checks and inspections ($251,428 in fees and
$511,682 in costs).
But the city also significantly overcharged for some services, which violates the rule that states governments can
only “recover the reasonably borne cost” of a service. In
other words, they can’t profit from them. In Carmel, renewing business licenses cost just $11,464 to provide this year, or
about $6 per renewal, but business owners paid a total of
$102,299 for the service — $52.65 per renewal. While the
ideal fee represents a 100 percent recovery of costs, the
renewal fees represented an 892 percent recovery of the
costs, according to Johnson, who recommended lowering the
fee to $10 per permit.
“That was the highest number I’ve ever seen,” he said,
adding that cities usually charge between $10 and $20 for a
renewal. “That number was out of whack.”

HE CITY council on Tuesday voted to remove the historic bell from the World War I Memorial Arch and put it
somewhere safe.
In a project spearheaded by the local American Legion
post, a new bell will be cast based on drawings by the arch’s
architect, Charles Sumner Greene, and installed in its place
in honor of the city’s centennial.
The original bell in the arch is one of the most important
F YOU go to city hall and get a permit to wear high
heels, it doesn’t cost you anything — but it costs taxpayers
$1.66.
And if you apply for a permit to open a restaurant, you pay
$785.30, but it costs $2,732 for the city to process it.
Those were just two of the more than 120 fees analyzed
by consultant Eric Johnson and revealed at a workshop at city

Predating the California Missions system and its founder, Junipero
Serra, by more than two decades, this bell was cast in Mexico in
1692 and given to the city on its 50th birthday in 1966. This week,
the council decided it should be removed and replaced.

“Between now and the end of the year, we’re having residents, visitors and nonresidents take images here in Carmel
and submit them,” he said.
Of all of the photos depicting people’s activities and centennial celebrations in Carmel that are submitted throughout
the year, 100 will be selected for inclusion in the time capsule
HE CITY that has strict laws on the sale and display of
souvenir merchandise in stores is getting into the souvenir
market itself, the committee in charge of Carmel’s
100th birthday celebration announced this week.
At the March 1 city council meeting, former
Mayor Sue McCloud showed a variety of items the
centennial committee will sell online, including
pins, shirts, mutt-mitt dispensers, LED flashlights,
portable dog bowls, heavy-duty paper cocktail napkins, compact cloth carry bags, aprons and ball
caps, as well as beer glasses, wine glasses and wine
coasters. A chrome license plate is being sold, too,
and perhaps a corkscrew.
“We’re trying not to do junk — we’re trying to
do quality,” McCloud said of the merchandise,
which will all bear the city’s centennial logo.

ECKED OUT in their Sunday-go-to-meetin’
clothes, children and young teens are instructed how
to properly introduce themselves. Then they glance
shyly at one another, each girl waiting for an invitation
from a boy to join him on the dance floor. Once paired,
the couples try to make conversation, follow the
rhythm of the music, and avoid each other’s feet.
When the music stops, a young yellow dog with a tender face is led onto the dance floor, where she waits
while the children are also taught the protocol of meeting and greeting a dog.
Only in the canine community of Carmel would the
annual cotillion etiquette and classical dance class
incorporate canine courtesies.
The dog is Naboo, a 2-year-old golden retriever-yellow Labrador retriever mix, who belongs to the couple
that hosts the cotillions.
Naboo, named by the children in her family after the
planet in Star Wars, was born in Southern California
and was adopted at 12 weeks by her family, just prior
to their move to the Peninsula.
“Naboo came into our family against my wishes,”
her person says. “We were going to buy a fixer-upper
here, and rent a place during the process. As dog
friendly as Carmel is, landlords are not. But my family
talked me into it, and I’m glad they did. She is a wonderful dog.”
Naboo loves to cavort at Carmel Beach, and greets
everyone with both enthusiasm and respect. Quite the
water dog, she would swim after seals if her family let
her. One time, she swam so far, she seemed lost at sea.
“Finally, Naboo was rescued by some kind fishermen who had already brought in their catch but went
back out to find her,” says her person. “She was swimming toward a big rock covered by sunbathing seals.”
Rest assured, Naboo would have known just how to
greet them.

WOMAN GETS SIX MONTHS IN JAIL FOR STEALING FROM P.G. SENIOR
n
Was on probation for animal abuse
By KELLY NIX
A
MONTEREY caretaker convicted of stealing from her
82-year-old Pacific Grove client was sentenced this week to
180 days in jail.
Ilagene “Jeanie” Quaglia,
62, was given the sentence
after being convicted of
financial elder abuse of the
man, a landlord who owns
rental properties in Pacific
Grove.
Over a three-year period,
Quaglia skimmed money off
the man’s rental checks,
overcharged for items and
services, and wrote checks
to herself for “unauthorized
purposes,” according to
Monterey County District
Attorney Dean D. Flippo,

Culver sentences
Monterey murderer
JESSE QUIMING, the 32-year-old man who stabbed
Scott Long to death in a fight over alcohol in a homeless
encampment behind the Monterey Library last summer, and
then tried to murder another victim, was sentenced Tuesday
by Monterey County Superior Court Judge Julie Culver to 56
years to life in prison for the murder. Quiming’s sentence was
increased because of a prior robbery conviction in 2005.
On June 19, 2015, just after midnight, an argument developed between Quiming and Long, who was 40, over Long’s
refusal to share his alcohol with Quiming.
“A witness testified that Quiming appeared to be ‘brooding’ for about 10 minutes after being denied the alcohol,”
according to the district attorney’s office. “Without warning,
Quiming walked over to where Long was seated and stabbed
him four times, with one blow penetrating the heart.”
His other victim, 23-year-old Tyler Misamore, was
stabbed when he tried to defend Long, who died at the scene.
Misamore was also stabbed four times.
After the stabbings, Quiming fled, ditching the knife and
his blood-stained shirt, but he was captured less than 24
hours later after Monterey County Sheriff’s Deputies found
him hiding near Carmel High School. Monterey Police
Detective Brian Kruse led the investigation.

ering the irregularities. The tenant urged him to report the
inconsistencies to the Pacific Grove Police Department.
Officer Ami Lonsinger investigated the case.
“Quaglia’s crimes would have very likely gone unnoticed
if not for this Good Samaritan’s involvement and insistence
that the victim contact law enforcement,” the district attorney’s office said.
Two jobs
Besides being a caretaker, Quaglia also worked as a
cashier at a Monterey pharmacy.
“The exact amount of theft is contested and will be determined by the court if Quaglia and the victim cannot agree to
an amount of criminal restitution,” the DA’s office said.
As a result of her new conviction in the felony financial
elder abuse case, Quaglia violated the terms of her probation
in a 2013 animal abuse conviction.
In April of that year, 48 dogs and cats were taken from
Quaglia’s home on the 1200 block of First Street in Monterey
and housed at the SPCA for Monterey County.
When Quaglia was arrested at her workplace, officers
found a cat in the trunk of her vehicle, Monterey Police
reported.
As a result of violating her probation terms, Quaglia this
week was also sentenced to 60 days jail consecutive to the
elder abuse sentencing for a total of 240 days behind bars.
Monterey County Deputy District Attorney Scott Donahue
prosecuted Quaglia.

Police, Fire &
Sheriff’s Log
‘Something in the back of his pants’
H
ERE’S A look at some of the significant
calls logged by the Carmel-by-the-Sea Police
Department and the Monterey County Sheriff’s
Office last week. This week’s log was compiled
by Mary Schley.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13
Pacific Grove: Officers located 13 teens
and young adults leaving the beach at 0200
hours after a bonfire. None had wants or warrants. None could drive the group home in the
cars they came in because they had all consumed alcohol or smoked marijuana. They were
all able to care for themselves. The subjects
were given warnings about the violations and
allowed to call cabs for transport. Officers waited with them until the cabs arrived and drove
them from the scene.
Carmel-by-the-Sea: Male on Junipero
north of Eighth reported receiving unwanted
telephone calls from an ex-roommate. Male
requested officers contact his ex-roommate and
tell him to stop calling. He also requested officers do a civil standby so his ex-roommate can
pick up the rest of his property.
Pacific Grove: Non-injury accident.
Bicyclist struck the side of a moving vehicle on
Sunset Drive.
Carmel area: An elderly victim discovered
one of her checks had been intercepted and
cashed by an unknown suspect. Case continues.
Pebble Beach: A non-ticket-holding intoxicated subject, a 22-year-old male, was escorted
to a waiting taxi on Whitman Lane outside of a
large event. When the subject returned, he was
arrested for public intoxication and booked into
county jail.
Pebble Beach: MPCC complained about
unknown persons hitting golf balls on the golf
course during the AT&T Pro-Am.
Big Sur: Vehicle was towed from Highway
1 due to being an obstruction on the highway.
Carmel area: Tenants on Morse Drive were

in locating a lost teenage juvenile. The juvenile
was safe on Ocean Avenue and custody was
released to MCSO deputies.
Carmel-by-the-Sea: Person walked in to
CPD to report a civil problem at a new commercial rental property. Subject believed someone enters his business after hours, in violation
of the rental agreement, and during one incident removed a telephone. The male tried to
report a similar incident to MCSO a few days
prior. That event was determined to be
unfounded. He thanked CPD for their service
and was eager to leave. He has a recent history
of mental illness, but his welfare checked OK
on this date. Unable to determine if a criminal
act occurred.
Carmel-by-the-Sea: Report of a past-tense
theft from an unlocked vehicle at Monte Verde

CARMEL COUNCIL
Community and Balance
For me, running for Carmel City Council is all about community and balance. They
say all politics are local and no politics could be more local than municipal elections
in Carmel-by-the-Sea. But more significantly our lives are local, lived in our local
communities, and it is our community's strength and health that most determines our
own well-being and that of our families. What's happening in Salinas, Sacramento,
Washington, or the Middle East certainly affects us - and often frightens us - but more
important to our daily quality-of-life is what's happening next door, down the street,
in our neighborhood, in our community. It is our local community that ultimately sustains us and provides our immediate safety, security, and welfare. Strengthening this
community and the bonds that tie us together has been the goal of any participation or
contribution I've been privileged to make in Carmel and hope to make in the future.
And so it is community first.
And then there's balance. In Carmel we're always in a balancing act between preserving the quality of life in our hometown, this precious beautiful village, with it
being one of the world's most popular visitor destinations.
While we are definitively and primarily a residential city
(see Ordinance 96), our businesses provide 75% of the
City's budget and much of the financial support to our
beloved community non-profits. And these businesses
rely heavily on visitors. So we need to continue maintaining the balance of a thriving business community underwriting the municipal services and amenities we as
residents and voters have come to enjoy, expect, and demand in our neighborhoods and downtown. Business, residents, and City government—we are really one small
community, one square mile—and we all share in its delights, its opportunities, and its responsibilities. I think
we've been doing a pretty good job balancing things
thus far and I hope the voters of Carmel-by-theSea choose me to help keep that balance going
on into the future. I'm good at it.
THE APRIL 12 municipal election, with
two candidates for mayor and five for two
council seats, is just a few weeks away.
To help voters pick their favorites, The
Carmel Pine Cone will offer a two-hour candidates’ forum Sunday, March 6, at 7 p.m., in
the event center on Dolores Street at the corner of Seventh Avenue.
“I’ll be moderating, and asking questions
on the hot topics of the day, and the audience
will also have the chance to submit theirs,”
said publisher Paul Miller.
All seven candidates have said they will
attend, including Steve Dallas and Ken
Talmage for mayor, and Jan Reimers, Dave
Mosley, Bobby Richards, Richard Kreitman
and Jack Pappadeas for city council.
“Of course, with seven candidates, it will
be a challenge to get every topic covered, but
I’ll do my best,” Miller said.
There will be no parking on the premises
for the event; however, the city lot at the
north end of Sunset Center is just two blocks
away.

Peace officers association hands out honors for service during emergencies
By MARY SCHLEY
T
HE MONTEREY County Peace Officers Association
next week will recognize a small group of officers from the
Marina and Salinas police departments for providing extraordinary services during emergencies.
Each year, the organization honors exemplary officers
from one large agency and one small agency at its
Outstanding Police Officer of the Year Dinner, which will
also star the various officers of the year chosen by their individual law enforcement
agencies when it takes place
Saturday, March 12, at the
Embassy Suites in Seaside.
From Salinas P.D., Sgt.
John Lynn and officers
Gabriel Carvey and Adolfo
Lopez will be honored for
their handling of a suicidal
man in a ravine behind the
city’s youth center in
November 2015. The man
was trying to hang himself
with a garden hose and had
also swallowed several
hydrocodone pills earlier in
the day.

“The subject climbed a
large tree, tying one end of
the hose around a branch and
the other end around his neck,” said MCPOA executive director Joy Junsay. “Police officers Lopez and Carvey grabbed
hold of the subject’s lower legs and raised him up enough to
relieve the tension of the hose from around his neck, and Sgt.
Lynn reached up and cut the hose just above the subject’s
neck.”
Marina’s Cpl. Steve Russo and officers Seth Morten and
Michael Ball will also be recognized for the help they provided to a woman who was in labor in her home on Carmel
Avenue in Marina on July 9, 2014.
“Cpl. Russo knew the fire department was committed to
another medical, so there would be a delay in medical aid for
this critical medical emergency,” she said. Filling the void,
the three officers went to the woman’s home and helped
deliver the child.
During the annual dinner, 16 law enforcement agencies
from throughout the county will also be recognizing their
own 2015 Officers of the Year, including:

CAR THIEF’S ESCAPE FOILED BY
BIG SUR’S STEEP TERRAIN
OYSTER PERPETUAL
SUBMARINER DATE
By CHRIS COUNTS
A
FTER A suspected car thief was handcuffed Feb. 26 in Big Sur, he surprised police
by fleeing down a driveway and over a steep
hillside in an effort to escape, the California
Highway Patrol reported.
But like so many people who try to scale
the cliffs west of Highway 1 in Big Sur, the
man — who was later identified as 18-yearold Robert Tyler Stephenson of San Luis
Obispo — only succeeded in getting stuck
on the side of a rocky embankment. A helicopter was called in to bring him to safety.
The incident — which happened near
Torre Creek Bridge — began when a state
parks ranger saw what he thought was a
motorist in trouble.
“A vehicle had run out of gas, and a
ranger stopped by to check on it,” CHP
Officer Oscar Loza told The Pine Cone. “He
was just trying to help out the gentleman.”
After authorities learned the man had a
“cite and release” warrant, the ranger wrote
him a ticket and let him go. But there were
strange marks all over the car, and when the
CHP arrived on scene a short time later, they
questioned the man.
“He didn’t know who the registered
owner of the car was,” Loza reported.
When police determined that the vehicle
was stolen, they arrested Stephenson. But
before they could get him inside their patrol
car, the suspect made a dash for daylight. Big
Sur’s famously steep topography, though,
foiled his plan — if it could be called a plan.
Stephenson was charged with possession
of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest, Loza
added.
But it’s unlikely he’ll be charged for the
helicopter ride, which will cost taxpayers
thousands of dollars.
Torre Creek Bridge is located about 33
miles south of Carmel.
Cause of death released in fire suicide
STEVE MCALPINE — the former
Travel Bag owner whose suicide led to the
Tassajara Fire that burned nearly 1,100 acres
and destroyed a dozen homes in September
2015 — burned to death, according to the
Monterey County Coroner’s Office.
While rumors had circulated that
McAlpine died from some other means, such
as a gunshot wound, Monterey County
Sheriff’s Cmdr. John Thornburg said this
week that a forensic pathologist’s report confirmed McAlpine was killed by burns he
sustained when he set himself on fire.
“He didn’t die of an overdose before he
burned up,” he said. “He didn’t shoot himself
before he died.”

Panetta gets backing from big name politicians
By KELLY NIX
C
ONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE Jimmy Panetta
secured endorsements from several elected officials, all of
whom were considered possible candidates for the seat that
will be vacated by longtime Congressman Sam Farr when he
retires next year.
Panetta, a Monterey County deputy district attorney, said
this week he was grateful for the support from Carmel Mayor
Jason Burnett, Sen. Bill Monning and State Assemblyman
Mark Stone.
“I am truly honored to receive the endorsements of such
stalwart public servants who know exactly what it takes to be
a strong representative from the Central Coast,” Panetta told
The Pine Cone. “I have been privileged to work with all three
of them in the past, and I am humbled by their confidence in
my candidacy to replace another local tried-and-true leader
like Congressman Sam Farr.”
Panetta’s most recent endorsement was from Burnett, who
last week pointed to Panetta’s “work ethic” and shared goals
for the 20th Congressional District as the reason for his backing. The two developed a relationship while working together
on the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery.
“Having both grown up in this area, we share a set of values that includes oceans protection, environmental preservation, and a strong economy for this region,” Burnett said. “I
am pleased to endorse him in his run for Congress.”
‘Drive and integrity needed’
On Feb. 23 — a day before Burnett’s official backing —
Monning said that Panetta’s “drive, work ethic and integrity”
are needed in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Jimmy will be an excellent representative for this district
in Congress,” Monning said. “He has shown his commitment
to public service and to this community in both his professional life, and through his service on local boards and com-
mittees.”
While Monning was speculated to run for Farr’s seat, he
announced Dec. 1, 2015, that, “after careful consideration
and thorough deliberations,” he would seek reelection to the
seat he was elected to in 2012.
Earlier in February, Stone, while announcing his reelection bid, offered support for Panetta.
“Jimmy Panetta will be an effective member of
Congress,” Stone said. “I’m proud to endorse Jimmy,
because we agree on core issues such as the need for greater
investment in mental health support, ocean protection and
immigration reform.”
The biggest challenge Panetta faces is from Republican
Casey Lucius, a Pacific Grove City Councilwoman and former Naval Postgraduate School professor, who was the first
candidate to announce a bid for the 20th Congressional
District seat. Several other candidates are also vying for the
position, including independent Jack Digby, and Peace and
Freedom Party candidate Joe Williams.
This week, Panetta also got an endorsement from the
Monterey County Democratic Central Committee.

ONCERNED ABOUT low numbers of winter-run
Chinook salmon spawning in the Sacramento River, officials
could soon place severe restrictions on fishing for salmon in
Monterey Bay, California Fish and Wildlife spokesperson
Harry Morse told The Pine Cone this week.
Morse said the Pacific Fisheries Management Council
will meet next week in Sacramento to discuss the dilemma.
Represented at the hearing will be federal and state agencies,
commercial and recreational fisherman, and Native
American tribes.
According to Morse, only about 3,000 winter-run salmon
migrated upstream last year. An estimated 160,000 fall-run
salmon followed the same route. For a historical perspective,
more than a million winter-run salmon migrated upstream in
1960, Morse noted.
Overall, Morse estimated there are fewer than 300,000
Chinook salmon in the ocean off the California and Oregon

coasts — down from 600,000 just last year. The state’s ongoing drought has been blamed for the drop.
Because many winter-run salmon migrate to Monterey
Bay, officials are worried about the impact fishing for fallrun salmon in the bay will have on them.
“Fishermen can’t tell the difference between the two,”
explained Morse.
The overall number of salmon in the bay has gone down
dramatically.
“Two years ago, the bay had a huge fishery,” he recalled.
“Last year it did poorly.”
It’s unclear how tough the new salmon fishing regulations
will be. Morse said a decision will likely be made by late
March — but not before public hearings on the subject.
“Nobody knows for sure what will happen,” Morse added.
“Commercial fishermen are afraid the regulations will be so
restrictive that they won’t be able to make any money.
[Officials] are going to make another set of hard decisions on
how many harvestable fish are there.”

Highway 68 roundabout work to start in April
By MARY SCHLEY
W
HEN CONSTRUCTION begins on the Highway 68
roundabout in April, road closures will be infrequent, and no
official detours will send drivers through the streets of downtown Carmel and Pebble Beach, Transportation Agency for
Monterey County planner Ariana Green told the city council
Tuesday night.
Green was there to update council members and the public on the $8.8 million project proponents say will relieve the
frequent congestion at the complicated intersection of highways 68 and 1, where traffic often backs up on eastbound
Highway 68 for more than a mile.
The new intersection, with no traffic signal, will also be
safer, reduce air pollution from idling cars, and will be better
looking, she said.
According to Green, construction will begin in late April
or early May and will run through February 2017.
“Most of the action will happen off the roadway,” she said,
but Highway 68 will experience three lengthy closures, the
first in mid-June, and the others in October or November,
each for a couple of weeks.
She said they wouldn’t happen during especially busy
times, like Concours Week in August.
Encouraging carpools
Whenever westbound Highway 68 is closed, CHP officers
will be able to escort people to the hospital through the closures in cases of life or death, she said, and TAMC is asking
people to carpool or take the bus to and from work while construction is under way.
To that end, Monterey-Salinas Transit is offering monthly
bus passes that normally cost $95 for just $13 during the
months of the project, and she encouraged people to take
advantage of the deal.
Handouts detailing the detours, which include having drivers make a U-turn at Carpenter Street to head north on
Highway 1 when the southbound ramp is closed, and driving
through Skyline Forest to get back on westbound Highway
68, will be distributed.
“We have a lot of homeowners who live on these small
streets in Carmel and are worried about traffic coming down
their streets and through the Pebble Beach gate,” councilman
Ken Talmage said.
“That is not going to be an official route,” Green responded.
Details will also go out on Facebook, Twitter and the
Waze traffic app, as well as in email updates anyone can sign
up for at www.tamc.org.
Green said a detailed construction schedule will be
released after the contractor is hired in the next couple of
weeks.
Egg Stash Dash
IN AN athletic twist on the traditional Easter egg hunt, the
students of Carmel High School are hosting the Egg Stash
Dash 5k Trail and 2k Fun Run and Family Day Sunday,
March 13 — the day that Daylight Savings Time kicks
in. The races, which will have participants searching for
more than 3,000 filled eggs stashed along the trail, will help
raise money for the garden projects at Tularcitos, River and
Captain Cooper elementary schools, as well as the MEarth
habitat project.
Registration will open at 9 a.m. at the Carmel Middle
School track, and the trail run will begin at 10:30 a.m. The
entry fees are $15 for adults and $7 for students in advance
via eventbrite.com or Carmelhigh.org, or $20 per adult and
$10 per student on race day. Each signup includes a race Tshirt, collected filled eggs and post-race snacks.
The runs will be followed by Family Day activities like
arts and crafts booths, face painting, a petting zoo, a dodgeball tournament, a native plant sale, food booths, a photo
booth and live music. Admission to Family Day, which will
run from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the CMS Upper Field, is
free.

Bach Festival is back, tickets now on sale
By CHRIS COUNTS
NOW THAT its 2016 lineup has been set, momentum is
building toward the 79th annual Carmel Bach Festival, which
happens July 16-30.
Organizers announced this week that more than 40 events
will be part of the festival, which was founded by Dene
Denny and Hazel Watrous in 1935 and celebrates the works
and influence of one of the greatest composers of classical
music, Johann Sebastian Bach. Tickets, meanwhile, went on
sale this week.
“J.S. Bach is an enduring influence on music of all ages,”
said Paul Goodwin, the festival’s artistic director and principal conductor. “This year, we look at many of the composers
he inspired and how his music is absorbed into the very fabric of our musical culture.”
The festival will open Saturday, July 16, when its orchestra performs, “Bach and Handel-By-The-Sea — a
Celebration of Carmel’s Centennial.” The program includes
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Magnificat and a pair of waterthemed compositions, Handel’s Water Music and Eric
Whitacre’s Cloudburst.
An impressive list of vocal soloists will be featured in the
festival, including tenor Thomas Cooley, baritone Peter
Harvey, and soprano Clara Rottsolk. New soloists are
soprano Mhairi Lawson and mezzo-soprano Meg Bragle.
Other highlights will be a pre-festival chamber concert
Wednesday, July 13, at the Monterey Museum of Art’s
Pacific Street location; a gala at the Monterey Peninsula
Country Club Friday, July 15; performances of Bach’s Mass
in B Minor July 17 and July 24; chamber concerts celebrating
the music and poetry of Carmel July 19 and July 26; and a
special family concert Saturday, July 23, at Sunset Center.
Scott Seward, the festival’s director of marketing, told
The Pine Cone that the family concert, which was introduced
just two years ago, is quickly becoming one of the festival’s
enduring traditions. “It’s a great way to introduce classical
music to young ones,” he added.

THEATER
From page 1A
groups have access to parts of the theater for
rehearsals and set building.
Councilman Ken Talmage said he wanted
to make sure the May 1 date doesn’t become
the target date, but is rather the drop-dead
date.
“I’m trying to convey a sense of urgency
here,” he said.
Councilwoman Victoria Beach asked for
a better explanation of why the project is so
long delayed past its original early
November 2015 target date, and council-
woman Carrie Theis suggested the council
do a walk-through to see how the work is
progressing.
Forest and beach commissioner Karen
Ferlito complained about how the trees have
been — and haven’t been — cared for and
protected during construction.
Mayor Jason Burnett liked Theis’ suggestion of a site visit, and he also noted that
Carmel’s new city administrator, Chip Rerig,
“has a lot of experience managing projects
much more complex than this,” and his input
will be useful, once he’s had a chance to settle in.
“We should all go have a little celebration, because this has been a major undertaking,” Burnett said.
Substantial winter
rains caused some
delays in the renovation of the Forest
Theater, which was
originally set to be
completed last
November but is
now anticipated to
be done by the end
of March.

SUBSIDIES
From page 1A
All told, Johnson recommended the city
council adjust 121 different fees. “In most
cases, it’s 100 percent cost recovery that I’m
recommending to the council,” he said.
Among the more significant increases he
recommended were:
n an increase from $1,704.93 (commercial) and $1,524.10 (residential) per application for major design review, to $4,530 per
application;
n from $785.30 to $2,730 for a use permit;
n from $51.66 to $275 per application
for a preliminary historic evaluation of a
home by staff;
n from $304.82 to $1,275 for an appeal;
n from no fees for a police response to a
loud party, to no charge for the first
response, $165 for the second response during the same day, and $495 for the third
response during the same year;
n from $25 per day or a percentage of the
proceeds for the use of the outdoor Forest
Theater, to $500 per day for performances
and $250 per day for rehearsals;
n from $0 to $2 each for the city’s quirky
high-heel permits, which are especially popular with tourists and TV crews from foreign
countries.
When it comes to events, Johnson said
the city should recover all of the costs of
hosting Concours Week events, which he
said cost taxpayers almost $174,000 — a figure Carmel Police Cmdr. Paul Tomasi said
was “an anomaly,” because last year’s work
on the events included a lot of hours of meetings, the development of new plans to deal
with traffic and parking, and other tasks not
typically part of the process.
As for other fees, like permits for having
a special event in the park or closing a block,
he suggested increasing the park processing
fee from $155 to $685 per rental, and also
charging additional fees for alcohol ($170)
and road closures ($710 for cultural commission review and $225 for city council
review). The rates of $400 for the first four
hours and $300 per additional hour wouldn’t
change.
For street closures, the rate of $365 per
block would increase to $1,475 for a “small”
event, $2,169 for “medium,” and $3,725 for
“large.” Using the Del Mar parking lot next
to the beach at the bottom of Ocean Avenue
would be $100 per parking stall per day.
Johnson also suggested a few reductions,
in addition to the business-license renewal
fee, such as from $154.99 to $50 for an
application to move an existing sign, and
from $785.30 to $515 per application to
merge a lot.
‘The responsible thing to do”
Before voting on any fee increases, the
council and public should have a “tax-policy
discussion,” Johnson said. “How much do
we want to subsidize?” he said should be the
first question.
He then said whatever large increases the
city council approves could be spread out
over a couple of years.
“That’s what a lot of cities do, and that’s
what I recommend,” he said.
Mayor Jason Burnett suggested holding
more workshops to discuss fees in particular
departments, such as planning, public works
and community services. He also said it
would be useful to see if any of the processes
could be made more efficient — and therefore less expensive — before people are
asked to pay more for them.
“The cost is not set. The cost is based on
the systems that we have put in place, and
this can also be used as a tool for identifying
where there are inefficiencies in operations,”
he said.
“The first thing we should do is eliminate
those inefficiencies before we charge someone for those inefficiencies. That is the
responsible thing to do as we move through
this,” he added.
Burnett said the council would work to
get the new fees approved before the
2016/2017 budget is adopted in June.

BELL
From page 1A
concerned about the safety of the old bell, which was donated
to the city on its 50th birthday by Sir Harry Downie, master
restorer of the Carmel Mission, in 1966. Considering the
thefts of the Dennis the Menace statue from the park in
Monterey and the bust of the cheetah from outside sculptor
Richard MacDonald’s gallery, he said, the bell is “venerable,
vulnerable and valuable, and it needs to be secured.”
No other members of the public commented about the
project, though former Mayor Sue McCloud submitted comments in writing. She questioned the importance of the 1692
bell.
“It is certainly old, but I don’t know if it follows that any
bell or object made in 1692 is therefore historically significant,” she said.
She also said a plaque should be placed on the arch indicating the new bell is based on a “sketch” by Greene.
Councilman Steve Dallas wanted an architect specializing
in historic projects to review the drawings, to ensure they are
an accurate representation of what Greene wanted the bell to
look like. (Although the architect designed the arch to hold a
bell, it wasn’t cast when the arch was constructed in 1922,
because the legion didn’t have enough money for it at the
time.)
Mayor Jason Burnett agreed, suggesting the council
authorize the removal of the current bell to somewhere safe,
like the local history library — where it may not be put on
display, due to lack of space, but would be held securely in
the vault — and that the city pay for an architect to help with
the design.
He also noted that while the legion plans to raise all the
money for the project through private donations, there should
be no restriction against the use of public funds.
“I think it would be entirely reasonable for the city to put
money into this,” he said.
Ultimately, the council voted in favor of the project, incorporating Dallas’ and Burnett’s suggestions, and the historic
resources board will review the final drawings before the

Afterward, Burnett said he would contribute the remaining $1,000 in his old campaign fund to the bell project — an
amount councilman Ken Talmage said he would match.

Phyllis Rae Hancock Lewis
Phyllis Rae Hancock Lewis, age 65 died surrounded by
loved ones at her home in Carlsbad, Ca, Friday February
19th at 12:30pm.
Phyllis was born on March 7th, 1950 in Thermopolis,
Wyoming and always held a special place in her heart for
the Big Sky Country. She grew up with two brothers,
cousins and lots of friends in Indio, Ca. As much as she
loves the ocean...the desert is her first love. Phyllis married and moved up the coast to Northern California when
she was 22. From Coralitos to Big Sur she found her home in Carmel-by-the-sea. She
and her then husband Brooke Lewis, owned multiple stores in both Carmel and Monterrey. In 1979, they opened Monterrey's first nightclub, The Club. Phyllis, was an
anti-war activist, she helped start S.U.N.N.Y (Society for Uniting Non Nuclear Years)
and was known around town for her brown VW Bus with the license plate NONUKS1.
She loved Daffodils, and Orchids and Ferns, and Redwoods, Point Lobos and heart
rocks, and the colors; red and yellow and green, sunsets and sunrises and tides.
year-old Jiri Grym, had used a drywall saw
to cut a hole in the wall and enter Viau Estate
Jewelry, where he took $250,000 worth of
merchandise.
And on Oct. 19, 2015, at around 11 p.m.
downtown, Mendoza saw a man in dark
clothing and partially concealing a baseball
bat. When he tried to approach, the person
took off, and Mendoza chased him to a deadend alley. The officer stood at the end and
ordered him to come out with his hands up.
But when the suspect — who turned out to
be a teenager — reemerged, he had both of
his hands on the bat. Mendoza repeatedly
ordered him to drop the bat, or else he would
be Tased. “The suspect finally dropped the
bat when he was about 15 feet from Officer
Mendoza,” Tomasi said, and the boy was ultimately cited and released to his parents.
“Each of these incidents could have had
much different outcomes if not for the experience, training and knowledge demonstrated
by Officer Mendoza,” Tomasi said. “He is a
credit to our profession, our city and our
department.”
In addition to holding the annual dinner,
the MCPOA operates the law-enforcement
shooting range at Laguna Seca and bestows
various service awards, including the Medal
of Valor, the Distinguished Service Award,
the Award of Merit, letters of commendation
and other honors.

CPD Cmdr. Paul Tomasi cited Mendoza’s
“ability to work through critical incidents
while remaining calm” as one of his greatest
assets, and said that skill helped bring about
positive outcomes in two incidents.
Around midnight on April 21, 2015,
Mendoza was a block away when an alarm
sounded at a jewelry store on Mission south
of Ocean. After seeing the front door was
secure and while waiting for backup,
Mendoza heard a noise from the side of the
building and went to investigate, just as a
man walked out of a bathroom attached to
the store. Holding him at gunpoint, Mendoza
“noticed the subject had a crowbar in one
hand and a bag in the other.” The suspect, 64-

HOWCASING EIGHT films from five countries, the
Carmel Jewish Film Festival uses “the power and artistry
of cinema” to “engage the greater Jewish community in
meaningful dialogue on important issues of our day.”
The sixth annual festival opens Saturday, March 5, at 7:30
p.m., when “Dough” screens at Congregation Beth Israel in
Carmel Valley. The film takes a light-hearted look at a downand-out bakery, whose recently-widowed Jewish owner hires
a teenage Muslim refugee to be his assistant. An opening
reception starts at 6:30 p.m.
The festival’s lineup also features “The Green Prince”
(Sunday, March 6 at the Middlebury Institute in Monterey);
“The Last Mentsch” (Tuesday, March 8, at Lighthouse
Cinemas in Pacific Grove); “Flory’s Flame” (Saturday,
March 12, at the Golden Bough Playhouse); “A Borrowed
Identity” (Sunday, March 13, at Lighthouse Cinemas);
“Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom Aleichem”
(Thursday, March 17, at Congregation Beth Israel); “The
Dove Flyer” (Saturday, March 19, at the Golden Bough
Playhouse); and “Deli Man” (Sunday, March 20, at
Congregation Beth Israel). The films come from Israel, the
United States, England, Germany and Hungary.
Event co-chair Susan Greenbaum said the film festival
offers something for everybody.
“We try to find films that would be of interest not to just
the Jewish community, but to the larger community,”
Greenbaum said. “We’re trying to engage people’s hearts and
minds with some of the topics we’re exploring.”
Tickets for individual films are $12 for general admission,
$10 for seniors and members of Congregation Beth Israel,
and $6 for students and military. For descriptions of each
film, directions to venues, showtimes and tickets, call (800)
838-3006 or visit www.carmeljff.org.
n Big thrills, stunning scenery
The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour stops
Friday, March 4, at the Golden State Theatre in Monterey,
offering thrill-seeking moviegoers an evening of “profound
journeys, unexpected adventures and ground-breaking expeditions” — all against the backdrop of some of the world’s
most stunning scenery. Last year’s 39th annual festival in
Banff, Alberta lasted for nine days and showcased dozens of
films. Now a condensed “tour” of the festival will travel to 40
countries.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Return of the
Natives Restoration Education Project, which aims to restore
native habitats throughout Monterey County. Showtime is 7
p.m. Tickets are $20. The theater is located at 417 Alvarado
St. Call (831) 649-1070 or visit www.banffcentre.ca.

PRINTMAKERS UNITE AT CAA, P.G. ART CENTER JOINS FIRST FRIDAY FUN
T
HE FINE art of printmaking takes center stage when
“Prints!” opens Saturday, March 5, at the Carmel Art
Association.
The show calls attention to the talents of nine members of
the CAA — Jennifer Anderson, Eleen Auvil, Alice GellerRobertson, Susan Giacometti, Kathryn Greenwald,
Barbara Johnson, Noro Partido, Pamela Takigawa and
Justin Ward.
Besides showcasing local artists, the exhibit provides a
wonderful introduction to printmaking, which has evolved
considerably in recent years, and as a result, has become
quite popular.
“The world of printmaking has grown since I came to
Carmel 15 years ago,” explained Giacometti, who came up
with the idea for the show. “The use of more non-toxic mate-

rials and creating by combining techniques—it’s become easier. We are sharing and learning from each other.”
The nine printmakers will offer a free workshop Sunday,
March 13, at the CAA. All materials will be provided.
Reservations are suggested.
Also opening this Saturday are shows by painters Peggy
Jelmini and Richard Tette. Both artists find inspiration in
California’s varied landscapes.
The exhibits will be on display through April 5. The art
center is located on Dolores between Fifth and Sixth. Visit

F
AMOUS FOR his success on the Silver Screen,
Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges steps into a less
familiar role when he presents “An evening of Music and
Conversation” Saturday, March 5, at Golden State Theatre in
Monterey.
Perhaps because he grew up in Hollywood and his father,
Lloyd Bridges, had a hit TV show, “Sea Hunt,” Bridges never
had a burning desire to be an actor.
“I didn’t know what the hell I wanted to be,” Bridges told
The Pine Cone. “My dad really pushed the acting thing.”
But as a youngster, Bridges was naturally drawn to music.
He came of age in Southern California during the late 1960s
when the city was becoming the epicenter of a thriving coun-
try-rock scene. But he became an actor instead, calling the
choice “the path of least resistance.”
“Dad said, ‘Do your acting, and you’ll get to use your

music,’” recalled Bridges, who was once stationed in
Monterey while he served in the United States Coast Guard.
His father turned out to be right, but it took more than 40
years — in part because Bridges’s acting career kept him
busy. His film credits include “The Last Picture Show,”
“Jagged Edge,” “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot,” “The Big
Lebowski” and many more.
In 2009, Bridges played a down-and-out country singer in
the movie, “Crazy Heart.” Not only did the performance earn
him an Oscar for Best Actor, the film’s success inspired him
to launch a second career as a country-rocker. He began to
work with music producer T-Bone Burnett, who “rekindled
my love of music.”
“If ever there was a time to get a band together, it was

GourmetFest gets props, International Women’s Day, and the Rich Smith Fund
T
HE RELAIS & Chateaux GourmetFest organized by
Carmel restaurateur David Fink that took place over the
weekend garnered compliments from city councilman Ken
Talmage at Tuesday night’s meeting in city hall.
“There was a food and wine festival that took place pretty
soup to nuts
By MARY SCHLEY
included some pretty incredible food, like suckling pig,
seared duck and Spanish jamon, and special wines, including
Chateau Latour and Williams Selyem. Among the events
Saturday was a wild mushroom hunt led by three expert
mycologists who scoped out prime territory in Carmel Valley
for chanterelles, mostly on wooded hillsides. After an hour of
foraging, guests were treated to an impressive feast in the
Hacienda at the Santa Lucia Preserve, a place normally offlimits to anyone except members and their guests. As is tradition for most, if not all, GourmetFest events, lunch started
with glasses of Champagne Taittinger all around.
And on Sunday, many in the local culinary scene, as well
as visitors, flocked to the closing Taste of the World. Filled
with large potted trees, bar tables and lounge areas — as well
as plenty of food and drink from Relais & Chateaux chefs
and notable wineries — the afternoon event was a perfect end
to the fest.
n International Women’s Day
When Dawn Galante started Dawn’s Dream Winery, she
wanted proceeds from the business to help support charities
serving women and children, and on Saturday, March 5,
she’ll host a special event in her tasting room at San Carlos
and Seventh in downtown Carmel for International Women’s
Day.
Throughout the afternoon, from 2 to 7 p.m., guests can
taste Dawn’s Dream wines and shop in Rising International’s
Global Popup Marketplace for fair-trade jewelry and fashion
accessories handcrafted by female “survivors of extreme
poverty, gender-based violence and human trafficking.”
At 4 p.m., there will be a panel discussion featuring
Emmy-winning television producer and filmmaker Virginia
quietly,” he said. “It generated a lot of tax base for the community,” by filling local hotel rooms and downtown restaurants.
“I bought tickets to a few of the events, and there were a
lot of foreign languages being spoken,” Talmage continued.

“People came from great
distances.”
He also liked the fact
that GourmetFest, which
included wine seminars,
cooking demonstrations,
lunches and tastings, used
various
locations
throughout town, including the event center at
Seventh and Dolores, La
Playa Carmel and the former Homescapes space in
Carmel Plaza.
He said the city needs
“events that are low key
and take place below the
radar,” and that occur during the off-season, not in
the middle of summer.
“It’s a really good
model,” he said.
Featuring local chefs
as well as those from afar,

n Worth a try
Food + Wine blogger Justine Sterling
recently posted a bit of science that has redwine lovers rejoicing: Drink more and lose
weight, especially when you have a glass or
two just before bedtime.
Their conclusions might be too good to
be true, she said, but Washington State
University scientists discovered that resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine, can
help transform stubborn white fat into burnable brown fat, while a study conducted at
Harvard “examined 20,000 women over a
period of 13 years and found that those who
drank two glasses of wine daily were 70 percent less likely to be overweight.”
That could be because resveratrol is a natural appetite suppressant, so people who
drink red wine in the evening are less likely
to indulge in late-night snacking.
Other foods containing the polyphenol
include blueberries, strawberries and grapes
(of course). Not only do these foods not get
you drunk, they haven’t undergone the filtering and production process that removes
many of the insoluble beneficial polyphenols
from wine.
They also tend to be less fun to consume,
and they never generate longwinded discussions of taste, body, aroma and terroir.
n Get French for your Euros
Periodically, Calvin and Michele Wilkes
at Fifi’s Bistro Café, 1188 Forest Ave. in
Pacific Grove, invite customers to use up
their unwanted Euros and British pounds by
dining in their restaurant or buying wine
from their shop.

n Estéban specials
n Paella at Zeph’s
Estéban Restaurant in the Casa Munras
hotel in Monterey is offering several weekly
specials, presenting even more reasons for
fans of Spanish food to go and taste what
chef Tom Snyder is up to.
Adding itself to the list of local restaurants that entice guests with special halfprice wine nights, Estéban is offering 50 percent off all wines on Mondays — but only
through March 28, so people who have been
curious to try certain wines on the list but
haven’t been willing to shell out the cash
should act fast.
And every Tuesday night, Snyder’s
impressive paella will be the showpiece in a
three-course dinner for two that also includes
two tapas dishes to share and two housemade desserts. The cost is $52 for two people.
Wednesday night is $13 flight night, featuring three tastes of wines selected by
Snyder. His lineups will focus on local and
Spanish wines from regions like Ribera del
Duero, Galicia and Monterey County.
And, all week long (except on holidays),
Happy Hour runs from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.,
with deals on draft beer, house wine, sangria
and Mojitos; and half-priced pintxos (small
plates) from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Estéban Restaurant is located in the hotel
at 700 Munras Ave. in Monterey. Call (831)
324-6773 for reservations.
Zeph’s One Stop, located at 1366 South
Main St. in Salinas, will host Twisted Roots
winery and Mundaka chef Brandon Miller in
celebration of National Paella Day
Wednesday, March 9. From 5:30 to 6:30
p.m., Miller will demonstrate how he makes
Spain’s famous rice dish, which he’ll also
offer for tasting, and Twisted Roots will pour
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite
Sirah and Old Vine Zinfandel.
The cost to attend is $10. For more information on events and special offers, visit

Rich Smith Memorial Research Fund “in
celebration of the life and extraordinary
accomplishments of Richard Smith,” the late
owner of Paraiso Vineyard and Valley Farm

local viticulture, Smith “was a pioneer in the
Monterey wine region and a national leader
in the industry,” before he died last
December, just a couple of days after
Christmas.

n Lafayette opens
Lafayette, the restaurant that replaced Em Le’s on Dolores
Street in downtown Carmel, had a soft opening Sunday and
enjoyed its first official day of business Tuesday, keeping
busy with customers at tables in its fire-warmed space inside,
and at al fresco tables tucked into the walkway just off the
sidewalk.
A collaboration between the folks at the popular Lafayette
bakery in the Barnyard and Yafa restaurant in downtown
Carmel, the restaurant underwent a major overhaul that took
several months and involved stripping out everything from
the old establishment.
In addition to selling Lafayette pastries and some items to
go, the restaurant offers a breakfast/lunch menu with several
crepes, two versions of French Toast, omelets, Croque
Monsieur and Croque Madame, salads and “potato galettes,”
as well as pasta dishes.
Considering the place is brand new, it’s understandable it
still has some kinks to work out in its dishes and delivery.
The Santa Cruz Crepe of ham, mushroom and cheese, with
an egg on top, was quite tasty, though dried out at the edges,
and the Salted Savory pain perdu (French Toast) was rich and
eggy, and benefited from the addition of maple syrup. The
Cobb Salad left a bit to be desired, due to its small size and
lack of key Cobb ingredients, like hard boiled egg and avocado.
The restaurant is also working to get its liquor program
going. This week, no alcohol was being sold there.

Editorial
Letting you do
what you already can
W
HEN CITY hall gives you a building permit, reviews your architectural
drawings or decides to let you tear down an old home, is it giving you a benefit?
Or are those kinds of permits more akin to certificates that you’ve complied
with restrictions on something you already had the right to do?
The answer to this question was hotly debated in land-use law for decades,
and wasn’t finally resolved until it reached the U.S. Supreme Court in the
famous 1986 case, Nollan v. California Coastal Commission.
On one side of the debate were the no-growth advocates, environmentalists
and other pro-regulation activists who tend to see government rule-making as
the solution to almost every human problem, if not the source of every human
right, especially where land uses are concerned.
In California, the leading proponent of this school of thought was former
California Coastal Commission executive director Peter Douglas, who ruled the
agency for decades based on the principle that nobody had the right to build anything along the coast without the commission’s permission.
The way Douglas saw the world, whenever someone was granted a permit by
the coastal commission, he thereby became the recipient of a governmentbestowed gift — a principle that was important because, if a permit constituted
a gift, conditions of almost any imaginable kind could be attached to it — even
things like being forced to give the public control of a big piece of your property.
Based on that principle, many hundreds of property owners along the beach
were forced to “donate” public access to their beaches in exchange for building
permits — a deal that was a classic quid pro quo, in Douglas’ view.
On the other side were civil libertarians who pointed out that the “right” to
build on one’s property dated back to prehistoric times, and therefore predated
every form of government invented by man — including the U.S. and California
constitutions.
Sure, people on the civil liberties side of the debate said, the government had
the power to impose reasonable public-interest restrictions on the right to build
— no nuclear reactors on earthquake faults or porn shops next to preschools, for
example — but such restrictions were limitations on pre-existing rights, not the
granting of new privileges.
When the Nollan case reached the Supreme Court, the court ruled that the libertarians were correct, and that, as the court put it, “the right to build on one’s
own property — even though its exercise can be subjected to legitimate permitting requirements — cannot remotely be described as a ‘governmental benefit.’”
The significance in the Nollan case was that the Nollan family wasn’t forced
to grant a public access easement over its beach in Ventura County in exchange
for getting a building permit — and neither has anybody else who applied for a
coastal development permit anywhere in California since, unless their project
somehow created a special burden on existing public access to the beach.
Because the High Court rejected Peter Douglas’ view of what a building permit represented, the Nollan decision radically changed the way the Coastal
Commission did business.
However, the decision meant many other things as well, and should have been
brought up during the city council’s meeting this week on the supposed “subsidy” the City of Carmel is handing out when it issues permits without making
applicants pay the permits’ full costs.
Sure, some government permits are a benefit to the people who receive them
— things such as a permit to block a road for a special event, or use a public
building for a meeting, or even to have a police officer provide security for a private function.
But many other things listed by the consultant this week as “subsidies” of
“benefits” handed out to the public are no such thing. Building permits, use permits, sign permits, design review, plan checks, etc., etc., etc. — all these permits
are simply restrictions placed by government on things every human is born
with the right to do — have a home, operate a business, feed his family, etc.
Those permits aren’t for the applicants’ benefit, they are for the public’s benefit, and the public should bear most, if not all, of the cost.

Time for ‘recall’?
Dear Editor,
After the Jason Stilwell/Susan Paul terminations, there was much discussion by residents of our little village to recall the council. It would not include Steve Dallas, who
had been on the council four months and was
not involved in the rest of the council’s
neglect and incompetence.
However, the mayor and council members
were given another chance with the hiring of
Doug Schmitz. Residents were tired and
were hopeful that they would get good governance. And we knew we would have our
chance of recall at the next election.
Now is the time to “recall” Ken Talmage,
who is the only incumbent up for reelection
and running for mayor. He has been on the
council for nine years and touts his professional skills in finance.
He obviously did not use these skills in
approving contracts and payments that
resulted in over $1 million wasted with no

Talmage for mayor
Dear Editor,
I am voting for Ken Talmage for Mayor of
Carmel-by-the-Sea. He is someone of whom
we can be proud to lead our village. We all
know that Ken has the technical and professional ability to do the job, but as
important is that he has the kindness of
heart, the love for community, and deep historic knowledge of city government we need
for our mayor.
Watching Ken interact at council meetings with staff, public and fellow council
members assures me that he has the knowhow to take the reins and move us forward
competently and wisely.

many Carmel events and activities. He was

offered to get me started.”
That week, unfortunately, the studio
burned down and Newell left the country,
which also left Partch without a mentor.
But during his first year of high school at
Monterey High, Partch’s art
teacher told him about a very
skilled artist, living with his
wife in a treehouse in Carmel
Valley, who gave summer art
workshops. Partch begged his

multi-media installation using the
dolls.
“This project opened up a new
territory for me,” says Partch. “It
was a simply spontaneous process
of assembling random things, with
no real sense of what it would be. It
was pretty freeing.”
Today, some 100 dolls are
climbing a metal tomato trellis
wrapped in Christmas lights, in the
yard of his Pacific Grove home —
not exactly what you might call a
traditional sculpture, but significant
nonetheless.
Partch became interested in art
as a teenager, growing up in
Seaside. His father, a bit of a
Bohemian, had built a house there
around 1940, using old windows
and other scavenged stuff. Partch’s
first art inspiration was really his
older sister, Penelope Partch, who is
an established Carmel Valley
painter.
When he was 14, Partch started
visiting the legendary Gordon
Newell’s sculpture studio on
Cannery Row to sketch. The seasoned sculptor, whose Carrera marble butterfly is a landmark at Lovers
Point in Pacific Grove, always took
time to look at the boy’s drawings.

COMMITTEE

n Special Events this month
OU MAY have a 2016 image the 100
Photos Project Committee could include in
Carmel-by-the-Sea’s time capsule, to be
buried in early 2017 and opened 50 or 100
years later.
Or you may not yet have taken that perfect photo — but the committee will be collecting images through December
that
depict
Carmel’s
uniqueness and all that
is remarkable about
the town, which this
year celebrates its centennial.
“From the details of
an interesting fence to the
sweeping view of Carmel
Beach, we will consider whatever Carmel-by-the-Sea inspires
you,” said Peter Hiller, project chair.
“We will be looking for a variety of images
as the photos are intended to tell the story of
present-year Carmel.”
To be considered, the photographs —
color or black and white — should be from
2016, unmounted, on photo paper, and 4-by6 inches in size. The public, of all ages, is
invited to participate, and submit just one

Photographs may be submitted at one of

‘No ethics’
Dear Editor,
Having read last weeks article about planning commissioner Ian Martin and his little
episode with the city, and the knowledge I
have of the workings within the City of
Carmel, I felt compelled to write this.
It is obvious to me that Mr. Martin has no
ethics, honesty or responsibility to accept
that what he and others did was wrong, but
yet, he still manages to blame city hall and
the police chief/city administrator for his
plight! Really? You’ve got to be kidding!
You took down the banner Mr. Martin.
You gave it to another person. You did this ...
no one else is to blame but you.
You could have notified city hall of your
dissatisfaction of the banner’s placement,
you could have contacted the American
Legion to help you in notifying city hall of
your apparent “insult.”
But no, you chose to remove that banner.
You chose to do that. No one else.
Was the banner placed in an appropriate
place? Probably not. Did it go though the
process of approval? Yes. Was the approval
correct? Probably not, and especially on a
respected memorial so visible in our city.
Nonetheless, you chose your course of
action. You did not take the banner down and
return it to city hall with a complaint. You
chose to avoid the potential confrontation.
You chose this path, sir.
If anyone else, let’s say from any other
community, were to have removed that banner I’m sure you would want that person held
accountable ... but in your own self-righteous
mind, you feel you’re above the law and any
Providing High Quality, Full Service Painting for Residential & Commercial
responsibility! Your hypocrisy knows no
bounds sir!
Well, Mr. Martin, you’re not above the
law! Not only should you have to pay the
fine and restitution to the city, but you
should be fired from the planning commission and banned from any other future commissions. You apparently lack the kind of
ethics and honesty necessary to represent
this city. As a city commissioner, you are
held to a higher standard ... and you have
failed to live up to that standard!
The district attorney chose to not prosecute this matter any further in the interest of
justice. The underlying meaning here is that
the city should deal with jerks like you on its
own!
This city has endured its darkest hours the
past several years. Poor decisions, back-door
dealings and very, very bad management.
There is no room for anyone to remain within the city government that adheres to this
kind of deception. (And by the way, Ken
Talmage is also no exception ... a fresh
mayor and council are warranted!)
So, that’s my opinion, for what it’s worth!
Be careful of who you vote for mayor, be
cautious of who the council appoints to commissions, tread carefully, everyone, and vote
so you can once again achieve a city government that treats you honestly, fairly and with
an ethical attitude.
Tim Meroney,
Carmel

Tony Seton, Carmel
Really Carmel?
Dear Editor,
On the July 10, 2015, front page of The Pine Cone, one of
the headlines read, “City council wants parking kiosks gone
by Aug. 1.” What a brave move. If only we knew how they
were approved in the first place.
And as for all the “whining” about tasting rooms. Thanks
to Ashley Hobson, Keith Paterson and Jan Reimers for taking
a bit of a stand aganist the local C.A.V.E people. A certain
resident should stop “interpreting” and get some facts.
As for the commissioners who “put a lot of time and effort
into developing its policies for approving tasting rooms” ...
all you’re doing is trying to set up a business to fail. The only
vote against was because it might “provoke competition
among wine tasting rooms.” And of course we can’t have
that, now can we?
Just saying.
Jack Pappadeas, Carmel
White sand will be back
Dear Editor,
Quite some time ago the city decided to limit all fires at
the beach to the strip south of 10th Avenue. This was because
normal winter wave action washes away all evidence of
beach fires at this narrow end of the beach. The white sand is
carried off and stored in the winter just off shore. The black
sand you see now is not due to fires; it is composed of heavy
mineral sand, magnetite and garnet. The clear white sand will
return with the smaller summer waves, as it has done for tens
of thousands of years.
Roy Thomas, Carmel
requires complete environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act and noticed public hearings
before the city’s decision-making bodies. The citizens of
Pacific Grove and its elected officials as well as numerous
agencies will be fully apprised of the environmental impacts
of a hotel before any decision is made to move forward with
this hotel.
The Project Bella initiative is before the voters solely
because of a prior voter-approved initiative more than 29
years ago prohibiting a hotel use at the currently developed
American Tin Cannery. The voters of Pacific Grove will
either vote for or against an amendment to the city’s zoning
code to allow hotel use at the site. This is not, as Unite Here
indicates, equivalent to an approval of any application to
build a hotel without environmental review.
What United Here and its lawyer unfortunately hide from
the voters is that the citizens of Pacific Grove and their elected officials are still in charge of the use permit process and
the environmental review associated with that process, and
nothing will ever be built there without environmental
review.
Project Bella will be good for Pacific Grove producing
new revenues from transient occupancy tax, sales tax and
property taxes!

Pacific Grove
Scalia not an ‘originalist’
Dear Editor,
Your editorial “Understanding Antonin Scalia” failed to
consider the gap between his rhetoric and the way he acted as
a judge. The editorial also confused two different terms that
have different meanings; namely, “originalism” and “judicial
restraint.”
“Originalism” is one approach used to interpret the
Constitution. Scalia followed a version of originalism, which
proposed that the meaning of the Constitution was to be
found in the historical practices and understanding at the
31A
time the provision was adopted. This method is readily subject to manipulation to reach the result that the judge personally desires.
Judicial restraint is a theory of constitutional jurisprudence advocating deference to the executive and legislative
branches of government and restraint from going beyond
interpreting provisions of the Constitution to creating new
ones.
In his speeches and books, Scalia claimed that he believed
in and practiced judicial restraint. In fact, Scalia was an
ardent judicial activist who was very willing to create new
constitutional provisions and to overturn laws and executive
actions by declaring them unconstitutional.
Scalia used the method of originalism to conceal his judicial activism by claiming that he was following the original
understanding of the Constitution and to hide the fact that he
was simply implementing his personal conservative ideology.
There are a plethora of specific examples of his aggressive judicial activism. He voted to invalidate key provisions
of the Voting Rights Act, struck down laws restricting campaign spending, laws prohibiting the possession of guns near
schools, laws to protect victims of gender violence, federal
laws requiring background checks before issuing permits for
firearms. On the other hand, he used the same originalism to
express deference to legislation and executive acts when he
wanted to uphold them; such as, laws denying marriage
equality and restricting abortion.
Scalia also created new constitutional rights, such as, the
right for corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money
in elections and the right to possess firearms unconnected to
militia service. He made corporations persons, and created
the ability of governments to give unlimited aid to parochial
schools.
Antonin Scalia created his own brand of conservative
judicial activism. Due in no small part to Scalia, the era of
judicial restraint is over. This judicial activism on both sides
of the political spectrum is the reason why the fight over
Scalia’s successor is so important and will be so hard fought.

Athlete and entrepreneur shifts from snowboarding to surfing
By LISA CRAWFORD WATSON
B
EV SANDERS stood behind the
bar, watching a guy draw something that resembled a rocket on a
cocktail napkin.
Living in Tahoe, where she taught snow
skiing by day and tended bar at night, she
was working, and he was drinking and drawing. When she asked about his art, he told
her he was designing something called a
“snowboard,” an innovative way to slide
down the mountain on a single, short, wide
ski.
Bev Sanders at
Carmel Beach with
one of her favorite
boards. Whether on
the ocean or the
snow, she feels right
at home, and she’s
turned her wideranging expertise
into a successful
business.
A life-long ski enthusiast, Sanders went
to see snowboard prototypes the guy was
building in his garage. She quickly found
herself smitten with the board and the boy.
“The snowboard started our romance and
our partnership,” says Sanders, “both of
which continue to this day.”
In 1982, Chris and Bev Sanders, with
partner Earl Zeller, founded the Avalanche
Snowboards company in South Lake Tahoe.
The Sanders continued to develop their business and their snowboards until 1995, when
they sold the company. They stayed on for
two more years, ultimately leaving the company in 1997, when they turned their attention from snowboarding to surfboarding.
“I had become frustrated, working in a
man’s world, going up against the grain, and
fighting for women’s recognition in snowboarding,” Sanders says. “Chris and I took a
vacation to Maui, where I learned to surf,
and it completely changed my life. Totally
infatuated with the sport, I wanted to make it
part of my life.”
That same year, Sanders started “Las
Olas,” a company that creates surf safaris for
women.
Sanders saw the name — which means
“the waves” in Spanish — as a beautiful,
feminine word in a beautiful language. Also,
it holds a connection to the coastal community in Mexico, just north of Puerto Vallarta,
where she hosts most of her surf safaris.
It is a place she protects like a secret,
where the surf break is easy, the water is
warm, and the people are welcoming. It
makes for a great place, says Sanders, to
teach beginning longboard surfers.
“In the beginning, I didn’t really know
how to surf well, and I didn’t speak Spanish,”
she says. “Now, I speak Spanish, badly, but I
surf well.”
The Sanders bought their own place in the
community, which serves as a kind of clubhouse, just steps away from the surf break,
where they also house all the surfing equipment. Surf safari participants also stay
together in what Bev calls “amazing superorganically built” villas.
“When I saw this place, it inspired me to
put this whole company together,” says
Sanders. “We’ve had women break down in
tears when they arrive because it is so beautiful, and they are so far from the lives they
know. It’s a big deal to leave their job and
their family, and give this a go. So we do a
lot of hand holding, as we teach women to
surf in a no-pressure, nonjudgmental, warmwater environment.”
They even meet at the airport

It takes hard work and dedication to be vintage when you’re under 40
By ELAINE HESSER
W
HEN JULIET Gonzalez and Melissa Montes
bought Vintage Property Management in 2006,
they feared they already had two strikes against
them. First, at ages 24 and 34, they thought their high-end
clients might think they were too young, and second, neither
one of them was Rosemarie Carter, the headstrong, longtime
owner of the firm, which has its offices on Dolores Street
just off Seventh Avenue.
Gonzalez had worked for Carter for some time, helping
her manage vacation and long-term rentals in exclusive parts
of the Monterey Peninsula. Gonzalez had a degree in public
relations from San Diego State University and another in
communications from CSUMB, and her goal was to work for
a professional sports team. She was on her third interview
with the Oakland Raiders when Carter — who
was in her 80s — suddenly told her she wanted
her to take over the company.
Gonzalez wasn’t sure, but her mom saw a
chance to keep her close to home and encouraged her to go for it.
“You’ll never have to leave again,” her
mother told her.
Juliet Gonzalez (front) and Melissa Montes (back) no longer worry that their clients
won’t take them seriously. After 10 years, the business partners and longtime friends
can do everything from plan a Concours bash to driving a Jaguar to the shop for
absentee homeowners.
‘All or nothing’
Montes was a friend of Gonzalez’s who had
been a prison guard for 15 years. Her husband,
who was older, was about to retire from the
prison system and wanted Montes to find a
different line of work. She had experience
managing her own vacation rentals in Arizona,
so joining forces with Gonzalez seemed logical.
After talking it over, the two decided to buy
the business, and in Gonzalez’s words, they
“hocked their houses” to pay for it. They hired
an attorney and began negotiations with
Carter. The process proved to be anything but
straightforward.
Gonzalez said that at first, the formidable
Ms. Carter tried to insist on keeping a hand in
running the business, but Gonzalez and
Montes drew an unambiguous line — it was
all or nothing. Carter eventually acquiesced.
Then, on New Year’s Eve in 2005 when they
were set to close, the attorney they were working with was fired by his firm.
Carter took that as some sort of sign and
tried to pull out of the deal, while Montes and
Gonzalez frantically cast about for a replace-

ffice, Private Client Services
ment lawyer. Incredibly, they found one that same day, convinced Carter to stick with their agreement, and closed on
Jan. 17, 2006.
While Carter technically no longer had a say in the business, her apartment was across the street from Vintage
Property’s offices, and she kept an eye on her baby until she
died in 2011. Gonzalez said Carter called daily, making sure
her old clients were still satisfied.
“We had to give her that respect,” said Gonzalez of their
regular reports to their former boss. Meanwhile, Gonzalez
and Montes tried to do things they thought would make them
look older, like donning glasses, dyeing their hair darker and
wearing “comfortable shoes.”
All kinds of sports cars
After the sale, a few people cancelled their management
agreements outright, and some prophets of doom forecast the
firm’s demise, but “the girls” — as they came to be known
— were undaunted. They offered short-term contracts and
renegotiated commissions so clients could see they were serious about their work.
Sometimes, they just reassured people that “Rosemarie is
watching over us,” as she quite literally was, from her perch
across the street.
For all their efforts to look like they knew what they were
doing, there was a bit of a learning curve — especially starting in 2008, when they added estate management to their
portfolio of services. To counteract the effects the recession
had on the vacation rental business, they reached out to people who owned vacation homes in Carmel and Pebble Beach.
In addition to looking after the multi-million-dollar
estates, Montes and Gonzalez said they set out to provide
“one-stop shopping.” When the owners are in town, they
book services like pet sitting or massages for them, and even
set up catered parties during events like the Concours, so the
owner can just show up and play host for the week. They also
take cars left on site in for service when necessary.
That last bit proved to be surprisingly challenging. “We’ve
learned how to drive all kinds of sports cars,” said Gonzalez,
confiding that in the beginning, she watched YouTube videos
to learn how different makes and models worked. Once,
when she couldn’t figure out how to open the door on a Tesla,
she ended up climbing through an open window.
Now, 10 years after buying the business, they’ve figured
things out and made the it their own. They’re active in the
community and use local vendors and small businesses to
meet their clients’ needs. When not at work, Gonzalez enjoys
traveling and Montes likes spending time with her husband
and her two dogs, Chewy and Rocco.
While they’re not vintage yet, they’ve definitely hit their
stride.

Thankfully, there are solutions close by to smooth out the

Village, a program of the Carmel Foundation that’s administered by Nettie Porter. Porter, who spearheaded its creation
four years ago, said it’s not a place to live, but a “virtual village” of services for people “55 or better.”
Participants pay an annual membership fee, and in return
have access to volunteers and tradespeople who have been

surf safari in Mexico, or the investment banker who finally
allowed herself to become a writer,” says Sanders, “I think of
what we’re doing and how we are inspiring change in
women’s lives.”
Chris and Bev Sanders moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea in
2004. “I came here once and fell in love to the point that I
told my husband I was going to stay on to check it out,” she
says. “Then I called and told him we just had to move here.
It’s the most wonderful place in the world. The appeal is not
just the ocean and the trees, but the way beauty is held up
here. Carmel has a high standard of how it should look and
how it should be.”
Sanders does surf off the coast of the Monterey Peninsula,
but finds the water quite cold in comparison to “las olas” of
Mexico.

U
S
Nearly 20 years after its inception, Las Olas has been featured in articles within more than 30 periodicals; among
them, “The Oprah Magazine,” in which a surf safari participant said, “I felt like I had just gone to church, and I’m feeling fortified and more than a little worshipful.” Shape
Magazine called Las Olas, “”One of our favorite active
camps for grown-ups.”
Sanders, who works with an all-female crew, employs
“world-class” female surf instructors from Mexico, the
Monterey Peninsula and Canada. On staff, she has sister-inlaw Jackie Sanders, and Carmel native Amanda LeVett, an
experienced surfer who runs “Mas Olas,” the company’s
higher-level surfing safari. The only male involved is
Sanders’ husband, Chris, who serves as operations manager.
“Surfing is a sport about style and grace,” says Sanders.
“Women’s longboarding is amazing, and watching it is like
watching ballet. Men just can’t move like women can. I hold
strongly to the feminine look and appeal of this, but my main
focus is for everyone to surf and have fun.”

LIVES
From page 29A
maybe began. They opened the door, and I saw the north light
coming in on Alex’s stone sculptures. It blew my mind.
Seeing that quality of light on stone, I knew this was what I
was meant to do.”
Alexander Weygers was a Dutch-American artist, equally
renowned as a sculptor, painter, print-maker, blacksmith, carpenter, philosopher, engineer and author. He and Marian
moved to Carmel Valley in the early 1960s, where he became
known for forging his own tools, and teaching apprentices
about the artistry and lifestyle of the artist.
“Alex had me begin, by taking his Theory of Form class
and learning how to make tools,” Partch said. “His training
was very philosophical as he taught me how to say what I
wanted to say, in the third dimension. Over a period of about
six years, I was his apprentice, spending the summers working with the Weygers.”
Partch still has the tools Weygers taught him to make, and
embraces the importance of being able to make them.
“Alex insisted that I learn to make my own tools before I
learned to carve stone,” says Partch.
He went on to work with legendary sculptor and Disney
artist Wah Ming Chang in Carmel Valley, becoming his assistant for more than 25 years.
Unsure of his contribution
As Partch worked alongside Chang for hours in his studio,
day after day, Chang said not a word. Unable to read him,
Partch felt nervous and unsure of his contribution. One day,
during lunch, Chang said, “I have known many, many interesting people who were very special. But I’ve discovered I
really don’t have much to say.”
Over the years, Partch took art classes at Monterey
Peninsula College, which gave him an idea. With such a fabulous foundry in Monterey, why not establish a sculpture program at the college to teach artists to carve, cast and create
patinas? He presented the idea to Gary Quinones, director of
the art department, who said what he really wanted was
someone who could teach a stone sculpture class.
“This,” said Partch, “is what I love more than anything.”
Partch has since taught sculpture classes at MPC for 18
years. His wife, Penny Partch, has been teaching in the
English department and humanities division for 22 years.
“Peter lives and breathes art,” says Penny. “His sketching
materials are seldom far from reach. Ongoing sculpture projects fill the studio and garden, and weekly sojourns to the
Pacific Grove Library result in armfuls of art and sculpture
books to enjoy and share with students.”
The Partches actually met at Monterey High, where he
was two years ahead of her. “I noticed her,” says Partch,
“because she is very beautiful. We met again, years later, at
Mission Ranch, and the rest is history.”
The couple wed in 1981, with rings Partch sculpted. Their
history includes two sons, now grown, both of whom have
become artists in the San Francisco Bay area.
“After all this time, something Alex Weygers said continues to resonate with me in a profound way,” says Partch, “and
I use it in the instruction of my students and my sons. He
said, ‘Peter, it is important in your art studies to seek out the
perfection that lies hidden within the imperfect.’ He felt the
pursuit of perfection leaves out the human handmade quality,
leaving humanity in danger of losing its human character. I
believe he was right.”

Porter said the program is modeled on the
original virtual village, organized in Beacon

said helping them continue to live independently is something she’s passionate about.
“It’s good to contribute to society as a

She hopes the community will continue
to grow. “We would love to expand,” she
said. “We all need a village. That’s the truth
of the matter.”

around the Peninsula. Lohr’s celebrating 30

Lohr said she started out as a volunteer
