SCENIC Road couple and a pair of
other residents filed appeals against the city’s
plans to limit fires on Carmel Beach, and the
city council is set to hear their objections at its
May 4 meeting. Received last Monday, the

A
N APPELLATE court ruling this week
over a Southern California city’s tiered water
rates — similar to the structure used on the
Monterey Peninsula — could have big implications for water districts up and down the
state, but won’t affect the price of water here.
On Monday, justices with the 4th District
Court of Appeal ruled San Juan Capistrano’s
tiered rates — a fee system designed to
encourage conservation by penalizing higher
water users — violated Proposition 218, a
1996 law that limits what government can
charge for anything it sells to the cost of producing it.
A
31-YEAR-OLD Sand City resident suspected of dressing in drag to rob
a Santa Cruz bank earlier this month was
arrested by Carmel police outside the
post office Monday afternoon, after he
was identified in an April 19 car burglary
downtown. Brandon Calantoc is also
accused of breaking into post office
boxes, possessing stolen property and
having drugs, and he was already wanted
for failing to appear in court on pending
burglary and drug cases.
At about 1:25 p.m. April 20, a police
officer on foot patrol spotted Calantoc
and a woman, Micaela Wimbush, 30,
outside the post office and recognized
them from the description of suspects in
a car burglary at Mission and Fifth the
previous day, according to Carmel Police
Cmdr. Paul Tomasi.
A records check showed Calantoc had
an outstanding arrest warrant, as did
Wimbush, also for ditching a court hearing, and a search revealed the pair was in
possession of numerous pieces of mail
stolen from at least 16 people whose post
office boxes Calantoc allegedly forced
open with a pry tool. The duo had “lots
of mail — anything they could get,”
MAN who cut a hole through the back wall of a jewelry store and filled a suitcase with $250,000 worth of necklaces, rings, earrings and other valuables was stopped in his
tracks by two Carmel police officers responding to a burglar
alarm at Viau Estate Jewelry on Mission Street early Tuesday
morning, according to Cmdr. Paul Tomasi.
The alarm was received at first by a private monitoring
company, which notified Carmel P.D. Thirty seconds later,
officer Ricardo Mendoza and Cpl. Rachelle Lightfoot
arrived at the store with guns
drawn and confronted Jiri
Grym, 64, as he was leaving
a bathroom in the alley that
runs behind it. The San
Diego man was holding a
black suitcase and promptly
admitted he had just burglarized the business, according
to police.
The jewelry store, which
opened in 1982, specializes
in antiques, watches, rings,
bracelets and other items
“from the late 1700s up to
the present day” and offers
1 9 1 5
gram — which includes the installation of 26
fire rings and a ban on charcoal barbecues —
would violate the city’s Local Coastal
Program.
The fire rings would contradict the LCP’s
policies that require “maintaining the natural
beach setting and the informal atmosphere,”
and state that “maximum public access and
recreational use of the shoreline will be provided,” according to two of the appellants, Via
Mar Monte resident Nancy Chira-Garcia and
San Antonio Avenue resident Alexis
Delehanty.
They also believe the pits will present safety hazards, because they could be swept out to
sea where a diver or surfer could be injured by
smashing into them, someone could trip on
them if they get covered with sand or kelp, and
they could “force beach users closer to the
water line, a danger on a beach unattended by
lifeguards.” Further, the pair said in a statement, the pits could become trash receptacles,
leading to pollution of the bay.
Scenic Road residents Bill and Mary Lou
Shellooe also filed similar appeals.
“Since the reason stated for the appeals on
the filings is identical, the appeals will be consolidated, and a hearing set before the city
council,” city administrator Doug Schmitz
said Friday. “The council’s decision is then
appealable to the California Coastal
Commission.”
The council is scheduled to hear their complaints at a special meeting Monday, May 4.
Schmitz also said supporters of the plan,

fires in order to improve air quality and lessen

The first engine crew arrived three minutes
after being dispatched and initially reported
finding a fire in the chimney leading from one of
the large fireplaces in the lobby, with smoke and
sparks, but no open flames.
As they stood on the ladder and worked to get
at the fire by removing fascia boards from the
top of the chimney, flames erupted from the top,
according to Cal Fire Battalion Chief Buddy
Bloxham. Firefighters also cut through the roof
near the base of the chimney to see if the fire had
spread to the attic, but found nothing.
All told, about 25 firefighters from Cal Fire
and Monterey Fire Department responded on
five engines and a ladder truck to quickly confine the fire, though they had a difficult time
locating the heat source, according to Cal Fire
spokesman Jonathan Pangburn. A small fire was

“I shopped carefully for Annie,
since I think she probably will be my
last dog,” says her person. “I did my
research, which revealed a standard
poodle is a good dog for an older person. They’re smart, they mind; they’re
clean, social dogs who are good with both dogs and
people.”
Life is good for Annie who, at 6, is the same age
and maturity level as her person’s grandson, who just
loves the dog. She’s small, she’s soft, and she looks up
into the eyes of anyone petting her with a look of

Seven nests boost hopes for condors
By CHRIS COUNTS
F
OR THOSE who have worked since
1997 to reintroduce condors to the central
California coast, news that seven nests have
been built by the endangered birds in the
wild is exciting.
“The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter,” said Kelly
Sorenson of the nonprofit Ventana Wildlife
Society, which has led efforts to return condors to local wildlands.
The seven nests represent the largest
number VWS researchers have observed in
the wild since the first nest was established
in 2006.
While five of the nests were previously
known, two were discovered last month. One
of those appears to belong to three condors
known as The Grimes Trio because they’ve
frequently been sighted near Sea Lion Cove,
which is located just south of Grimes Creek.
The second nest was found in a difficultto-access cave that also appears to belong to
a trio of condors. Two eggs are in that nest.
In one of the previously known nests —
located 200 feet above the ground inside the
burned-out cavity of a massive, old-growth
redwood tree — a single egg was found.
Researchers say it’s fertile and healthy.
In an effort to increase the number of condor chicks born in the wild, researchers monitor the nests, which is no small challenge,
given how remote and inaccessible many are.
In particular, they take a close look at any
eggs that are present, and try to gauge
whether each egg has the potential to produce a chick.
If an egg appears infertile, or its shell
seems too thin to produce a live chick,
researchers will place a fake egg in its place,
which they later replace with an egg raised in
captivity and ready to hatch. The nesting
condors give no indication they are onto the
ruse and are capable of raising chicks that
aren’t their own. The folks at the VWS call
this work, “pediatric condor care.”
“There are still only 421 California condors alive in the world,” said Sorensen of his
group’s decision to intervene in the birds’

Some restaurants will need permits for outdoor dining, water district says
By KELLY NIX
R
ESTAURANTS ON the Monterey Peninsula that want
to offer their patrons al fresco dining could be required to
obtain a water permit if they don’t act within a few months.
On Monday, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management
District board of directors voted unanimously to require
restaurants that have more than half their total number of
seats outside to get a permit from the water district — something which is pretty much unobtainable now, because of the
water shortage.
“Previously, the district’s administrative practice was not

Dog walkers kick off petition drive
against Fort Ord leash policy
By CHRIS COUNTS
I
N RESPONSE to a new policy that
requires dogs be kept on leashes at the 7,200acre Fort Ord Dunes National Monument, a
petition drive, a website and a Facebook
page have been launched opposing it.
While the new policy went into effect
April 8, nobody has been ticketed for ignoring it — yet. “I’ve met people who’ve been
stopped and warned, but not ticketed,” said
Greg Galin, who started the effort. Galin
walks his German short-haired pointer,
Malcolm, in the park.
The petition outlines the objections Galin
and others have with the policy. They say it
will negatively impact tourism and the economy, and they are calling it “highly restrictive” and “unnecessary.”
Galin and others say the park is a safe
place to let dogs off leashes.
“There are already numerous local parks
requiring leashes,” the petition reads. “Being
leash-free makes Fort Ord a special place.
Use of Fort Ord has grown over the years in
part because of the ability to keep dogs under
voice control only.”
The Salinas resident said if leashes are
required, it should only be in parts of the
park where a clear need exists, such as in
close proximity to where sheep are grazing.
According to Galin, more than 300 people
have signed the petition in the 10 days since
the drive began. He’s hoping to gather 5,000
signatures.
Eric Morgan, who manages the park for
the Bureau of Land Management, responded
to criticism of the policy, including complaints the public didn’t have an opportunity
to comment on it before it went into effect.
“The interim leash restriction we have in
place is responding to some immediate
issues that we needed to deal with rather
quickly,” Morgan explained. “We have made
a commitment to the community to develop
a long-term pet policy over the next 12
months that will involve ample opportunities
for public input.”
Morgan also shared with The Pine Cone a
letter the BLM is sending out to those who
have expressed concerns about the policy. In
the letter, Morgan acknowledges some people believe the policy will cause “major
hardships,” but he said others “have voiced
strong support” for the policy and “want it to
be permanent.” He also insists a recent dog
attack did not trigger the policy.
“I want to address a rumor that is going
around the Toro Park Estates area that this
interim restriction is the result of one recent
dog attack by a local dog.,” he writes. “While
we are aware of that severe attack, it is not
the cause of our interim restriction and we
hope that those involved with that incident
are not shunned by their neighbors.”
According to the BLM, the policy was
enacted because conflicts between leashed
dogs and non-leashed dogs are happening
and because off-leash dogs are coming into
contact with wildlife, present a threat to
grazing sheep and could wander into parts of
the former Fort Ord military post where
munitions still present a hazard. The use of
the park has doubled over the past six years,
and especially since it was named a National
Monument in 2012, they said.
The BLM hopes to schedule public hearings on the subject this summer, and release
a draft of a permanent policy next winter for
review.

Crafts Guild: Weaving strands of community for more than 60 years
By ELAINE HESSER
N
OT ALL the woofs in town come from
our four-legged friends. Some of them are
found — along with warps — in the looms
of local weavers. And though you may not
have seen a spinning wheel since the last
time you watched “Sleeping Beauty,” there
are still plenty of them around and in use.
These and other textile or fiber arts — the
technical terms for arts and crafts that use
natural or man-made fibers — are still practiced regularly by the 40 or so members of
the Carmel Crafts Guild.
According to guild president Mary
Brown, the organization was formed in 1948
and incorporated in 1952. Back then, it was
home to all sorts of craftsmen, including the
first president, Francis Whitaker, whose
blacksmith shop was where the Forge in the
Forest restaurant now stands.
Brown said that over time, practitioners
of other crafts splintered off and formed their
own groups, leaving a remnant of weavers,
spinners, basket makers and dyers to practice
their crafts together.
Membership has been up and down, but
recent years have seen a resurgence. This
may be in part because of websites like
Pinterest, which inspire young users to be
more creative. Brown thinks it has a lot to do
with good old-fashioned hospitality.
“We’re a very friendly guild,” she said,
adding that she’d made many close friends
there.
Simone Mortan joined more than 30
years ago as a young mother, and she agreed
with Brown’s sentiment. “It’s been a wonderful place to have fellowship. My daughter
was welcomed into the guild. She had lots of
‘grandmas.’”
Mortan said she got started with fiber art
when she worked at Tilden Regional Park in
Berkeley. There was a little demonstration
farm there for children. When the sheep were
sheared, “I saw all that wool and I thought,
‘I’d better learn to spin that.’” Of course,
once it had been spun into yarn and dyed, she
said she thought, “I’d better learn to use
that,” and took up knitting.
Another long time member, Ann Pettit,
talked about the “thread of continuity” as
craftsmanship is passed from one generation
to the next. “A loom is a durable thing. It outlives us,” she said. She has shuttles and
looms that belonged to weavers who have
since died. “They’re still very present in the
equipment,” she said.
All three women agreed that the best
thing about the guild, aside from the sense of
community and friendships, was the fact that
there’s always something new to learn —
from each other, from guest speakers, and
now on that new-fangled Internet.

The guild meets monthly, and new members are always welcome, regardless of level
of expertise. Spinners, knitters and crocheters
often bring their equipment and ply their
crafts during the meetings. Looms aren’t
portable, but weavers and other crafters are
encouraged to bring recent work for “show
and tell.” Meeting and membership information is at www.carmelcraftsguild.org.
Brown highlighted some of the upcoming
guest speakers. In October, Linda Yamane, an
Ohlone basket maker, will visit the group,
followed by Jennifer Moore in November.
Moore, a New Mexico-based weaver,
authored the book, “Doubleweave,” about
techniques that produce double thicknesses
of cloth on one loom.
The organization’s biggest event is the
Monterey County Fair. In fact, Brown said,
the original guild members built the first big
craft hall at the fairgrounds and it was known
as one of the nicest in the state. It included
hinges, latches and other hardware handforged by Whitaker.
Unfortunately, the building eventually fell
prey to termites and had to be dismantled and

Teen survives
Big Sur rollover
By CHRIS COUNTS
S
IXTEEN-YEAR-OLD BENJAMIN Dansky was hospitalized April 21 after he lost control of his car and it tumbled
about 100 feet down an embankment in Big Sur, according to
rescue workers.
Dansky was driving a 1990 Mazda Miata along Highway
1 just south of Garrapata Beach at about 8:30 p.m. when he
veered west off the pavement.
According to California Highway Patrol spokesman Jaime
Rios, “speed may have been a major factor” in causing the
accident, but alcohol and drugs “do not appear to be a factor.”
Members of the Mid-Coast Volunteer Fire Brigade were in
the vicinity responding to a medical call when they received
word of the crash.
When they arrived at the scene, they found that the Mazda
had rolled onto its roof on its way down the embankment, but
bystanders had flipped it right-side up.
To bring Dansky up to Highway 1 and a waiting ambulance, fire brigade members drove a small fire engine down a
private driveway. He was placed in a rescue basket and carried
to the engine and then driven back up to the highway.
The ambulance took Dansky to Natividad Medical Center
with complaints of pain to his head and neck, the CHP said.
Also responding to the accident were Cal Fire workers and
one of Big Sur’s newest highway patrolmen, Brandon
Rodgers. Mid-Coast Fire Chief Cheryl Goetz told The Pine
Cone Rodgers was instrumental in aiding the rescue effort.
“We want to give the new CHP officer a big shout-out,”
Goetz said. “We needed one more set of hands, so the CHP
officer put on some wildland fire gear and went through a
field of 8-foot-high poison oak to reach the victim. It was
pretty awesome.”
While Dansky was injured, he fared better than his vehicle.
“It was destroyed except for the part of it he was in,” Goetz
added.

A 74-YEAR-OLD man went to Natividad Medical Center “as a precaution” after running his 2007 Mercedes CL550 into a guardrail
and down an embankment on Carmel Valley Road west of Dorris
Drive late Monday morning. The wreckage looks much worse, but
Robert Wagstaff only complained of pain and suffered no major
injuries, according to California Highway Patrol public information
officer Jaime Rios. “There were no other vehicles involved, and DUI is
not a factor in this crash,” he said. “The cause is still under investigation.”

Called an ‘absolute giant,’ Point Lobos volunteer Judd Perry dies
By CHRIS COUNTS
D
ESCRIBED AS a “monumental figure” among local
volunteers, George M. “Judd” Perry passed away April 18
after a brief illness.
A longtime Pacific Grove resident, Perry, 78, was particularly active as a volunteer at Point Lobos State Reserve.
“His untiring commitment to Point Lobos was just one of
many unselfish charitable endeavors Judd involved himself
with here in the Monterey area,” wrote Fred Brown in a post
on the Point Lobos Foundation’s website. “In a list that would
be too long to encompass everything he took part in, the
most recent have been as Point Lobos docent administrator,
Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History secretary, and
board member and past president of the Point Lobos

Foundation’s board of directors.”
According to Brown, Perry’s “generosity and jovial personality strengthen each organization that was fortunate to
have his input.”
Perry was called “an absolute giant in our world” by
Augie Louis, the president of the Point Lobos Foundation. In
addition to serving as the leader of the volunteer docent program at Point Lobos, which has nearly 200 participants,
Perry was instrumental in forging an alliance between local
volunteers and California Department of Parks and
Recreation.
“He rewrote our contract with state parks, which has
served as a template for other partnerships around the state,”
Louis explained.
Just three days before he died, Perry attended the Point
Lobos Foundation’s board of directors meeting. The following day, he woke with abdominal pain and was rushed to the
emergency room at Community Hospital. Suffering from
internal bleeding and kidney failure, he died less than 48
hours later.
“One of the last things he said to me was that he has had

be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration of

allow the personal representative to
take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative
will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the
proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be
granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.

be held in this court as follows:
Date: June 17, 2015
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Dept.: 16
Address: Superior Court of California, County of Monterey, 1200
Aguajito Road, Monterey, CA 93940.
If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at
the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with
the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court
and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general per-
sonal representative, as defined in
section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery
to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as
a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
You may examine the file kept
by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file
with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account
as provided in Probate Code section
1250. A Request for Special Notice
form is available from the court
clerk.

ROBBER
From page 1A
Tomasi said, including statements and
bank records.
Officers also discovered narcotics and
drug paraphernalia, and Calantoc’s truck
contained stolen credit cards and victims’
personal information. Taken in the April 19
car break-in were a checkbook, computer
and headphones.
Calantoc was booked into Monterey
County Jail on $33,500 bail for theft, burglary, drugs, possession of stolen property
and possession of ID with intent to commit
fraud, as well as for committing a felony
while out on bail on a felony, and for the
outstanding warrants.
According to court records, he’s been
named as a suspect in a half-dozen felony
cases and 10 misdemeanor cases since
2006, including commercial burglary and
drugs.
Wimbush, who is on probation for identity theft and also has cases for drugs and
battery, was cited for drug offenses and
released.
“We can’t confirm she was doing the
breaking in,” Tomasi said. “She was with
him and would be considered an accomplice.”
Also during the search of the suspects
and their vehicle — which took several
hours on Monday — police discovered
items possibly implicating Calantoc in the
April 3 robbery of the U.S. Bank on
Morrissey Boulevard in Santa Cruz, in
which a man dressed as a woman used a
note to demand cash, according to Santa
Cruz P.D. Lt. Bernie Escalante.
“There were some items in his truck,
such as the purse and a locket that he’s pictured as wearing during the course of the
bank robbery here in Santa Cruz,” he said.
“We collected that and were trying to get
more loose ends tied up on our end before
we officially arrested him.”
Calantoc was set to be released from
Monterey County Jail Tuesday, so Santa
Cruz P.D. sent an officer to arrest him.
“We met him at the front door of the
jail,” he said.
Santa Cruz officers also charged
Calantoc with the attempted robbery of
another bank he left after staff there confronted him.
Police booked Calantoc into the Santa
Cruz jail Tuesday night on charges of bank
robbery and attempted robbery while in
disguise, as well as committing a felony
while out on bail, and he’s being held on
$600,000 bail.
“He’s got a long history in Monterey —
it sounds like they’re well aware of who
this guy is,” Escalante said. “He had warrants out for his arrest when they contacted
him.”
Tomasi praised officers Joe Boucher
and Greg Johnson, and detective Jeff
Watkins, for their thorough police work,
including recognizing Calantoc from the
suspect description in the April 19 burglary, finding the stolen mail from the Carmel
P.O. boxes during their search and recalling
the photo SCPD distributed after the bank
robbery showing him disguised as a
woman with the same purse and locket.
“They kept digging and found the mail,
and started asking questions, then found
the purse and the locket, and Greg recalled
the robbery flier,” he said. “It’s great police
work — they did a fantastic job.”

From page 1A
merchandise that “is like a stroll through the history of the jeweler’s art,” according to its website.
After the arrest, investigators learned that
Grym, who was staying in a hotel in Monterey,
had planned the break-in by casing the jewelry
store on Monday and then hiding in the adjoining
bathroom until late in the evening, well after the
store had closed and everyone had gone. Using a
handsaw, he cut through the thin drywall separating the bathroom from the shop and started helping himself to a host of items from display cases.
While he moved through the store, he triggered
the alarm, according to Tomasi.
Grym was carrying an estimated $250,000 in
jewelry when police took him into custody.
“He had a black suitcase filled with jewelry —
necklaces, earrings and rings,” Tomasi said. “He
cleared out three cases, so it was a ton of stuff.”
Officers also searched his vehicle and hotel
room, but found no other stolen items.
Grym was booked into Monterey County Jail
on a charge of second-degree burglary and held on
$10,000 bail.

Big Sur Marathon: Relay team and dinner aid Rachael Short’s recovery
By CHRIS COUNTS
F
OR THE fifth year, a group of runners
are using their legs to help raise money for a
Carmel woman who has been unable to walk
since she was injured in a car accident in
2010.
At the Big Sur International Marathon
Sunday, April 26, five relay teams and 20
runners are participating in the Relay for
Rachael, which benefits Rachael Short, who
graduated from Carmel High School in 2000
and co-owns a downtown photography
gallery.
The runners are collecting pledges —
they’ve gathered more than $15,000 so far
— and the proceeds will help pay for the
costs of Short’s rehabilitation.
“Since I woke up in the hospital paralyzed
from the neck down in 2010, I have been
working every day to gain my movement
back,” Short wrote recently in her blog.

“This is only possible because I have an
amazing community of friends and family
who are willing to go out, run hard and raise
money for me. It is uncomfortable for me to
ask for help, but I am learning that people
want to help. I see the happiness on people’s
faces when they see my strength coming
back, and this makes me happy.”
Short works out with a trainer four hours
a day, six days a week. She said the hard work
is paying off.
“Every day, I am one step closer to stepping again,” Short continued. “Over the past
year, I feel the strength all over my body
returning, and my arms and hands are becoming more useful. My rehab is working.”
In addition to the relay, the American
Legion Post 512 (Dolores just south of
Eighth) will be the site of the Relay for
Rachael Spaghetti Dinner, on Friday, April
24. The event starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are

Patricia Kathleen Finley Ehrhart
Patricia Kathleen Finley Ehrhart passed away peacefully
on April 15, 2015 after a long illness.
Jo Elaine (Joey Shepherd) Frank
1949-2015
Jo Elaine (Joey Shepherd) Frank passed away on April 4,
2015.
Joey lived her entire life loving and caring for others. She
would literally give her shirt off her own back for someone
else, and sometimes she did. She lived a splendid 65 years
from her birth on May 29, 1949.
Joey was fortunate to find love when she married Anthony
(Tony) M. Frank in February 2009. The couple spent time
travelling together to amazing, beautiful places around the
world. They loved their home on the water in Carmel
Highlands, CA.
She was funny, charming and always the life of the party! Did you know she had her
Mater’s Degree? She did! Joey earned her bachelors and Masters Degrees from
California State University / Sacramento AND for many years she cared for her hundreds of patients as a speech-language pathologist with professionalism and compassion, humor and above all else, true concern for their health.
Not only that but she achieved this accomplishment while she was busy raising her two
daughters, Sierra Wood (Cloves, CA) and Emily Belman (Clovis, CA) who were the
absolute loves of her life. Joey was a devoted Mommy, not only did she pass on her academic intelligence, but her kindness towards others. Joey would spend much of her
days running the girls to all of their different activities in the white Volvo, with a coffee
in one hand and her next assignment in the other, speeding from one place to the next.
Joey loved being a Mom!
Joey continued her trips in her SUV taking every opportunity to go visit her grandchildren, Joey loved being a grandmother to Rylee, Carter, Baylie, Brock and baby
Brixton. Joey would spend time playing dress up and dolls, super hero and of course
she would read when she heard “Granny will you play with me” echoing in their little
voices. She absolutely loved her grandchildren and they adored her!
Tony contributed stepchildren Randy and his wife Katie, and Tracy. Joey shared any
wonderful times with step grandchildren, Own, Jason, Summer, A.J. and Jack. Rooting
for the Giants. Warriors and 49’ers was a favorite activity, but not for the Raiders!
Those who knew her can appreciate how words do not adequately capture what she
meant to each of us and the impression she left on this world. Joey, Mommy, YaYa,
Grammy, (Favorite) Aunt, Seester – YOU will be missed deeply by all your family and
your many, many friends.
There will be a celebration of Joey’s beautiful life on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 11:00
a.m., at Los Laureles Lodge, 313 West Carmel Valley Road in Carmel Valley, CA.
Please RSVP to Lori Carter, 831-917-4735.
In lieu of flowers Joey would want you to pay love forward, be kind to each other, and
help one another whenever you have the opportunity to do so. She would love for you
to make someone smile.
Born in San Francisco on May 18, 1936, Pat was adopted
when 6 months old by Dr. James B. Finley, dentist in
Monterey and Carmel, and his wife Dorcus R.
Fenstermaker Williams, a Daughter of the American
Revolution. The Finley’s lived in Monterey before moving to Carmel when Pat was in second grade. At Carmel
High School, Pat earned Life Membership in the
California Scholastic Federation, was past president of
Junior Statesmen and Junior Red Cross, commissioner of
girls’ athletics and of social affairs, as well as Editor-in-Chief of the El Padre
yearbook. Pat was an AFS exchange student to Germany in 1953 and was salutatorian for her Class of 1954 graduation ceremony.
After attending Pomona College, Pat married Robert Ernest Ehrhart on June 8,
1957. Bob and Pat moved to Washington, D.C. then lived in the Philippines,
where Bob was stationed in the military. After returning to the US, Pat and Bob
graduated from UC Berkeley in 1960 and moved to Walnut Creek, CA. Yet, she
continued to maintain her family home in Carmel and ties to the community
throughout her life.
In addition to raising three wonderful children, Pat
founded Primitive Junktion Antiques, which she continued running for over four decades until her death. Pat
applied her artistic and creative flair to interior decorating for her antique customers and also to flower arranging. She sold dried flowers that she had harvested and
dried and created hundreds, if not thousands, of beautiful
dried flower arrangements, as well as fresh flower
arrangements for the weddings of clients, family and
friends.
Pat also founded Travel for Treasures, offering guided antiquing tours of
California’s gold country. Later, she continued sharing her love for travel as a
certified cruise planner who led friends and clients on numerous international
trips.
From her high-school days as a “Globe Trotter” in Germany, her time in the
Philippines and degree in international affairs, Pat continued her curiosity, appreciation of other cultures, open mindedness, tolerance and hospitality throughout
her life. In addition to her own travel, Pat hosted countless foreign exchange students in her home. And, her children followed her lead as exchange students, living abroad and marrying foreign-born spouses.
Pat is survived by her ex-husband Bob Ehrhart, her three children, Kathy Roberts,
Jim Ehrhart and Ken Ehrhart, their spouses, nine grandchildren and a great grandson.
Services Celebrating Pat’s Life will be held for friends and family in Walnut
Creek on Friday, April 24 and in Carmel on Sunday, June 7. In lieu of flowers,
please send donations to the American Field Service at www.afsusa.org.

Local water shortage on national media Art blooms at museum, students
offer ‘three-ringed creative circus’
n Burnett on MSNBC, NPR
think a lot of people will take note of that.”
By MARY SCHLEY
M
AYOR JASON Burnett has become
the face of the Monterey Peninsula’s water
crisis after appearing on MSNBC’s
“Weekends with Alex Witt,” an interview
that closely followed on the heels of a
National Public Radio “Morning Edition”
spot that also included him. The topic of
both was the area’s struggle to develop a reliable water supply on the eve of drastic stateimposed cutback orders, and desalination as
part of the solution — but only because all
other remedies have been exhausted.
“I thought that it covered the major issues
in a succinct way — obviously four minutes
is not a lot of time, and water and the
drought and desalination are all big topics —
but certainly, the feedback that I’ve received
has been positive that it was able to cover
those topics in a meaningful way,” he said of
his conversation with Witt during her
Sunday program.
The discussion hit a few major points:
Peninsula residents use an average of just 50
gallons per day, a third of the state average
and a testament to what conservation efforts
can accomplish; three decades of droughts
and state-imposed restrictions here have
prompted residents and public officials to
evaluate every possible means of saving
water and generating more; and the best
option is a portfolio of solutions, of which
desalination is a significant piece, but not
the entire piece.
“I think that people are asking the question, ‘Can you conserve water and still maintain a high quality of life?’ — and the
Monterey Peninsula is an example of that,”
he told The Pine Cone. “That is one message
that has statewide and national significance.
She was quite impressed by the fact that we
use only about 50 gallons per day, and I
He also said the “very exhaustive review
of water-supply options” over the past 30
years has ensured “a high degree of confidence that what we are pursuing is necessary.”
“Other communities are coming to this
without that history, but we can explain why
we did the review that we did and why we
concluded that a portfolio of water projects
is the right answer,” he said, including desalination, aquifer storage and recovery, conservation and other measures. “And I think that
is a lesson that will apply to the rest of the
state.”
That evaluation has made Burnett a supporter of a desal project, despite his concerns
about production costs, the massive amount
of energy required to build and operate a
desalination plant, and the potential negative
effects on marine life.
“We’ve found that for the Monterey
Peninsula, the conditions are right to support
desal,” he said to Witt during the program.
But, he added later, “Desal is not the panacea
that a lot of people think it might be.”
In the NPR piece with KQED’s Daniel
Potter, Burnett commented, “So here I am,
advocating a project that has a large carbon
footprint and, if not done correctly, can hurt
the oceans. For us, desal really was the last
option to consider. But we got to that point.”
Burnett said his recent appearances on
national media probably sprang from the talk
he gave a several months ago as the keynote
speaker for CalDesal’s annual conference,
which led to a KQED interview.
“My opening line to them was, ‘Thanks
for having me, I’m not generally a fan of
desal, but it has its place in the portfolio,’ so
their executive director passed my name on
to the KQED reporter who was trying to
think through the pros and cons,” he said.
“I’m certainly not an advocate, nor am I a
detractor.”

“Floral designers are true artists,” the

What makes ours special is
that it inspires an appreciation

Truckers rock, Haggard twangs and Italian tenor returns to Mission
T
WO ARTISTS who perform this week at the Golden
State Theatre in Monterey — The Drive-By Truckers and
singer-songwriter Merle Haggard — each helped breathe
new life into their musical genres.
The Drive-By Truckers, who play Friday, April 24, gained
widespread acclaim in 2001 for their ambitious doublealbum recording, “Southern Rock Opera,” which explored
what it meant to be “growing up white, loud and desperate in
the former Confederacy,” according to a review in Rolling
Stone magazine. The critically acclaimed disc also paid tribute to the group’s heroes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, which had three
members killed in a 1977 plane crash, and offered a fresh
The performance comes just a month after the release of
PBS documentary on the life of the famous Italian tenor
Enrico Caruso, which stars Esposito. In the TV special,
Esposito takes viewers to Naples, Italy, where both singers
were born, and visits places that played a role in Caruso’s
life. Esposito also sings music from the repertoire of Caruso,
who died in 1921.
At Sunset Center, Esposito presents a collection of opera
arias, Neapolitan songs, standards and original compositions
— with an emphasis on music Caruso sang. The vocalist
doesn’t plan on using any electronic amplification, relying on
a microphone only to speak with the audience.

take on southern rock, which brings together country, blues
and hard rock.
The 78-year-old Haggard, who plays Wednesday, April 29,
helped pioneer the stripped-down Bakersfield sound, which
in the mid-1960s proved to be the perfect counterpoint to the
slick and highly-produced Nashville sound that ruled country
music at the time. The new sound was influenced by early
rock ’n’ roll, and Haggard became one of its biggest stars
with hits like “Okie From Muskogee,” “Mama Tried” and
“Workin’ Man Blues.” The Bakersfield sound set the stage
for a major infusion of country in rock during the early
1970s, perhaps best illustrated by the mega-success of the
Eagles.
Both shows start at 8 p.m. Tickets to Friday’s concert are
$25 to $41, while tickets to Wednesday’s event are $46 to

n Sibling pianists reunite
As children, brothers Jon Kimura
“Jackie” Parker and James “Jamie”
Parker played piano together often. Thanks
to the nonprofit Carmel Music Society,
they’ll get another opportunity to share the
stage Sunday, April 26, at Sunset Center.
The idea to bring the brothers together in
Carmel came about when Jamie performed
here last year with the Gryphon Trio.
“I asked him if he and his brother ever get
a chance to perform together, and he said,
‘no,’” explained Ann Thorp of the Carmel
Music Society. “And I said, ‘Let’s make it
happen.’”
To make the event possible, Thorp’s music
group needed a second piano, so the
Monterey Symphony offered theirs.
Jackie teaches music at the University of
Toronto, while a Jamie does the same at Rice
University in Houston, Texas.
At Sunset Center the brothers will perform works by Piazolla, Mozart, Ravel and
Rachmaninoff.
The music begins at 3 p.m. A talk by
David Gordon precedes the concert at 2 p.m.,
while chocolate reception follows. Sunset
Center is located at San Carlos and Ninth.
Tickets are $40 to $55. Call (831) 625-9938.

A cocktail cook, a spring menu, a benefit for kids, and an empty bowl
C
ARMEL VALLEY resident Katie
Blandin has been dreaming about cocktails
for a long time. Not about drinking them
— about creating them. Wednesday night,
her longtime vision for a new business
became reality with the launch of Bar Cart
Cocktail Co.
“I don’t like the term, ‘mixologist.’ I’m
more like a cocktail chef,” she said during
her kickoff celebration at Burst + Bloom in
soup to nuts
By MARY
the Crossroads. “But I don’t want to take
away from how hard chefs work — it’s not
like I’ve done the training to become a chef.
Maybe, ‘cocktail cook?’”
Using herbs, flowers and other ingredients she forages, grows herself, and obtains
from friends and local farmers, Blandin concocts liqueurs, infused spirits and innovative
cocktails. Her first major endeavor was for a
wedding three years ago, when she set up her
mobile bar, broke out her extensive collection of vintage glassware and poured four
different cocktails and two cordials she’d
created just for her friends’ milestone celebration.
Today, her style and offerings have solid-
ified into Bar Cart, in which she takes one or
two of the mobile bars she built from recycled and reclaimed materials, a few highly
trained helpers, a customized cocktail menu
and all the necessary ingredients wherever
her clients want. Each drink is beautiful in
presentation as well as in composition.
Blandin developed a selection of libations
for each season, depending on what’s available, but is always up to the task of coming
up with new recipes. At
Wednesday’s launch, she
offered the Carmel Valley
Road
Margarita
(which
included pink peppercorn and
elderflower
foraged
on
SCHLEY
Carmel Valley Road), the
Pachamama (potato vodka,
blueberry lime juice, lemon balm syrup, egg
whites from friends’ hens and her own Bar
Cart Bitters made with kafir lime and bay
leaf), the Black Magic Woman (rye, rhubarb
and honey juice, native black sage and tangerine) and the Sidecart (cognac, bergamot
syrup and lemons from friends’ abundant
tree in Monterey).
“We want to make the tastiest drinks for
you,” she says on her website. “We want you
to have a deliciously good time.”
In developing cocktails for clients, she
continues, “Bar Cart creates drinks with the
seasons, in the same fashion a chef would
select menu items based on seasonal offerings.
Who wants to eat a fresh tomato in
December? Not me! Who wants to get a little
wild? I do!” In short, she seeks to create, “a
sense of place and a story with every sip.”
To tap into Blandin’s talents for an event,
visit www.barcartcocktailco.com for details,
or call (831) 229-4132 or email [email protected].
n Spring has sprung at Porter’s
Vivo has introduced a new spring lineup for
the menu at Porter’s in the Forest, located in
the clubhouse at Poppy Hills Gold Course in
Pebble Beach. In addition, the restaurant is
now open until 8 p.m. nightly, taking advantage of longer daylight hours and catering to
a growing clientele.
De Vivo works with Everyone’s Harvest,
which hosts the Pacific Grove farmers market on Mondays, to pick up fresh ingredients

NOTICE OF PETITION
TO ADMINISTER ESTATE
of MARY ELIZABETH
MULLER
Case Number MP 218916
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both,
of MARY ELIZABETH MULLER.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has
been filed by THOMAS HENRY
MULLER, JR. in the Superior Court
of California, County of MONTEREY.
The Petition for Probate
requests that THOMAS HENRY
MULLER, JR. be appointed as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the
decedent’s will and codicils, if any,
be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available for
examination in the file kept by the
court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative
to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give
notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration
authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not
grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will
be held in this court as follows:
Date: June 24, 2015
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Dept.: 16
Address: Superior Court of
California, County of Monterey,
1200 Aguajito Road, Monterey, CA
93940.
If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at
the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with
the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent,
you must file your claim with the
court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either
(1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general
personal representative, as defined
in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from
the date of mailing or personal
delivery to you of a notice under
section 9052 of the California
Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an
attorney
knowledgeable
in
California law.
You may examine the file kept
by the court. If you are a person
interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the
filing of an inventory and appraisal
of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.

A century of
Pine Cones
n 98 Years Ago —
April 26, 1917
Join or Start a Potato Club
The Woodcraft League of America, of
which Ernest Thompson Seaton is chief, has
inaugurated a nationwide plan to establish
potato growing clubs. The boys and girls of
Carmel-by-the-Sea should get into this
movement. The league has issued a circular
giving details of the plan, which may be
perused at the office of the Pine Cone. The
New York Evening Mail says: “We face the
future with the immediate prospect of the
greatest food shortage our generation has
ever known. Every acre of potatoes planted
is life insurance against starvation next winter.” Mr. F. H. Powers of the Carmel
Development Company has offered the free
use of vacant lands in this section to children
and adults who will promise to plant at least
twenty-four hills of potatoes thereon. One of
the conditions of membership in the clubs is
that a member must plant and raise twentyfour hills and donate the proceeds to some
war fund. Prizes will be awarded to boys and
girls under eighteen, but older folks are not
debarred from membership.
n 75 Years Ago —
April 26, 1940
Carmel, as We Saw it In 1915:
“The beautiful beach of pure white silicon sand, with the 52 acres of sand dunes, is
a playground for the children, and resting
place for the nerve weary. The 400-acre pine
forest, with its deep carpet of pine needles,
furnished all the balsamic odors of the sierras. Fishing abounds, in the river for trout
and steelhead, and in the bay for all kinds of
seafood fish. The bathhouse on the beach furnishes all the appliances for surf bathing …
Carmel has a well established moving picture
theater.
More than 60 percent of the residents of
the village are devoting their time to work
related to the aesthetic arts. College teachers,
artists, poets, magazine writers, and professional men and women find the environment
especially conducive to their best work.”
Carmel, as We Saw it In 1940:
“The beautiful white sand beach is still
there and frequently crowded. The sand
dunes are cut up except for a few acres which
are city property and a few more private
property in jeopardy of being subdivided.
The pine forest is thinning, the soft bed of
pine needles nearly gone. The live oaks are
flourishing better than ever before. Fishing is
still fair in the river, although nothing compared with old days, and there are still a few
fish to be caught by the lucky ones in the bay.
The bathhouse at the beach is a thing of
the past. A city ordinance prevents any bathhouse or concessions at the beach. The surf
bathing in summer is excellent … There are
two regular motion picture houses. The
Carmel Library is well housed, the
Manzanita Club and the American Legion are
important clubs, and there are a number of
women’s, civic and political and social clubs.
Many of the Carmelites devote their time to
music, art and writing, but the retired have
become the most important portion of the
population.
Professional people are only second and
the businessman has assumed an important
position.

museum’s permanent collection of California
art, some works come from an exhibit by
Pedro Joseph de Lemos, which also opens
Thursday. A Renaissance man who served as
the first president of the Carmel Art
Association, Lemos was an architect, a
painter, a printmaker, an illustrator, a metal
worker, a writer and a lecturer. He died in
1954.

n Art, music at fundraiser
Staging an event described by its organizers as “three-ringed creative circus,” the
Youth Arts Collective presents its fourth
annual Live ART fundraising event Saturday,
April 25, from 5 to 10 p.m.
“Live ART will feature 30 artists and
musicians performing live for the public,”
explained Meg Biddle, the co-founder and
program director of YAC, a nonprofit that
provides mentoring and studio space for
young artists.
“New stuff is going up all night,” Biddle
said. “It’s very exciting.”
Artists include Will Bullas, Pamela
Carroll, Steven Whyte, Mary Liz
Houseman, Robin Winfield and others. The
list of musicians features Keith Damron,
Jordan Smart, Casey Frazier, Mathew
Hable and more. Backing them up — and
making this one-of-a-kind event possible —
are 60 volunteers.
Admission is $10. YAC is located at 472
Calle Principal. Call (831) 375-9922.
n Seeking ‘Pure Color’
Over the past 30 years, longtime Carmel
photographer Gary Geiger has walked many
miles through exotic locales like India, Cuba,
Morocco and Mexico to find the rich, vibrant
colors that inspire him. An exhibit of his
work, appropriately titled, “Pure Color,”
opens Saturday, April 25, at Gallery Sur.
“Walking gives me a perspective on the
rich history and architecture of a town, as
well as chance encounters with people who
invite you in and tell their stories,” Geiger
explained. “I put a lot of miles in every day to
find that one good image that goes to the next
level, separating it from all the rest.”
Gallery Sur, which hosts a reception from
4 to 7 p.m., is located on the south side of
Sixth between Dolores and Lincoln. The
show will be on display through May 2. Call
(831) 626-2615.

donate soup, breads and desserts for Carmel
High School’s annual Empty Bowls dinner,
which focuses on the issue of hunger. Held in
the school’s upper quad on April 30, the event
will include ceramic bowls made and glazed
by the students, who have also been studying
the issue of hunger at home and abroad.
“The bowls have all come out of the kiln
and are incredibly creative this year,” reported event organizer Valerie Stack. “One piece
has a dragon peering into the bowl, another
has a whale, and another has squid. A few
students formed caterpillars that perch on the
edge. There is a cowboy hat bowl. And there
are the butterflies, flowers, leaves and
abstract cutout designs. So sweet to see their
creativity expressed!”
The Empty Bowls Open House is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, from 5 to 7 p.m.
in an open café set up by the kids, and will
include a silent auction of professional
artists’ ceramics. The student singer and
songwriters’ guild will perform, and a student art show will be held, too.
For $20 per person, guests are invited to
enjoy a simple meal of soup and bread, and
are welcome to keep their bowls “as a
21A
reminder of all the empty bowls in the
world.” Every dollar raised that evening will
benefit Ag Against Hunger, a local nonprofit
that helps get surplus produce to local soup
kitchens, pantries and other assistance programs. For tickets, contact Diana Vita in the
CHS ASB Office at (831) 624-1821, ext.

the fair, they hold their “Sheep to Shawl” fundraiser for a
group of weavers in Africa. Sheep are sheared, their wool is
processed and spun into yarn, and then a large handmade
shawl is woven from the yarn and auctioned off.
Also, as part of their mission “to further the interests of
craftsmen; to encourage, develop, and maintain a high standard of craftsmanship; and to stimulate an appreciation of
fine workmanship and originality in design among its members and the general public,” the guild sometimes puts on
public exhibits.
The members of the Carmel Crafts Guild have done an
excellent job of keeping the founders’ vision alive for the next
generation, while knitting together what are often lifelong
friendships.

RATES
From page 1A
The ruling stems from a lawsuit a San Juan Capistrano
taxpayers association filed against that city over water rates.
The justices found that San Juan Capistrano’s tiered rates
bore no relation to the actual cost of delivering the water to
its customers.
“We do hold that above-cost-of-service pricing for tiers of
water service is not allowed by Proposition 218, and in this
case, [the city] did not carry its burden of proving its higher
tiers reflected its costs,” the court said in its ruling.
The city had been charging just three-tenths of a cent per
gallon for the first 748 gallons of water someone used. But
for people who used a lot more, the price jumped to 1.2 cents
per gallon.
According to the Los Angeles Times, at least two-thirds of
California’s water providers use tiered rates to encourage
conservation.
While the ruling could stifle their efforts to reduce consumption, it won’t affect the tiered rates on the Monterey
Peninsula, because Cal Am is a private company and not subject to Prop. 218, according to Dave Stoldt, general manager
of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.
Cal Am charges .59 cents per gallon for its Monterey
Peninsula customers who use the least water, but 5.9 cents
per gallon for those in the top tier. While Cal Am is highly
regulated by the water district and its rates are subject to
approval by the California Public Utilities Commission, the
bills the company sends out are still a private transaction.
Gov. Jerry Brown reacted strongly to Monday’s ruling and
promised that the attorney general’s office would review it.
“The practical effect of the court’s decision is to put a
straitjacket on local government at a time when maximum
flexibility is needed,” according to Brown in a press release.
“My policy is and will continue to be: employ every method
possible to ensure water is conserved across California.”
On April 1, Brown declared a drought emergency, and
directed urban water users in the state to cut usage by 25 percent.
Despite the obvious logic behind the appeals court’s ruling, Stoldt told The Pine Cone that other water agencies have
been more thorough in justifying their tiered rate system than
San Juan Capistrano.
“The thought is that San Juan Capistrano could have been
more rigorous in its analysis [of the tiered rates] and prevented this ruling,” he said.
The lawyer hired by that city to defend the lawsuit was
Michael Colantuono, the attorney the Monterey Peninsula
Water Management District hired to defend against a suit
filed by the Monterey Peninsula Taxpayers Association over a
water supply charge.
The water district prevailed when a judge ruled against the
taxpayers group in March. The group has not said yet whether
it will appeal the decision.

could use down there, with the constraints we have with open
space and that sort of thing,” Stedman said. “Mainly, the
intent is to collect some data with the respect to concentrations of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter.”
If the air district’s readings show smoke levels are too
high, its equipment would then be replaced with federal
Environmental Protection Agency-approved monitors, which
are “more precise, and will relay the data to the feds, so they
can make a determination whether we’re in the range for the
federal air standards,” Stedman said. If the standards are not
met, federal law will require the city to make changes to meet
them, he added.
That entire monitoring process could take two to three
years, according to Stedman, who openly supports the city’s
efforts to restrict beach fires.
“Anything we can do to limit fires will be beneficial from
a public health standpoint, as well as for the environment,” he
said. “This is combustion, and combustion generates a lot of
byproduct.”
the blackening effect on the sand of the charred wood and
ashes, countered by asking the Monterey Bay Air Pollution
Control District to begin monitoring air quality near the
beach because they believe the amount of smoke in the air,
especially on summer evenings, will add fuel to the argument
for limiting or altogether banning beach fires.
Air pollution control officer Richard Stedman, who has
testified before the forest and beach commission, planning
commission and city council about the toxic effects of wood
smoke and beach fires, said the district is “in preliminary
talks with the city to look at doing some air monitoring down
near the beach.”
The district and the city must first determine the proper
equipment to use and where it should be located.
“We’re still trying to look into the types of monitors we

Walking the
desal tightrope
TO UNDERSTAND what’s going on with the slant well in Marina — and
why we keep reporting about how many gallons per minute the test well is
pumping and how much salt is in the water it produces — imagine a large sandbox with a small pool of fresh water at one end and an unlimited pool of seawater at the other.
The two pools not only occupy their respective ends of the sandbox, the water
they contain migrates through the porous sand and meets somewhere in the middle. Now sink a straw into the sand and start sucking. Is the water you’re getting
salty, or fresh, or some combination of the two?
Obviously, that would depend on where you placed your straw. If you drew
water from immediately adjacent to the freshwater end, you could count on getting almost 100 percent fresh water, and vice versa.
Now imagine that you’re only supposed to draw seawater through your straw
— but you’re not sucking on it, you’re pumping it out with a mighty pump.
You’re also not allowed to take it directly from the seawater pool, because there
are some fish in there and your pump might trap one of them against the opening
of the straw. Meanwhile, you need the water for a really important purpose, but
you’re told, “DO NOT PUMP ANY OF THE FRESH WATER
BECAUSE IT BELONGS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.”
You don’t have to be a water expert to see that meeting all of those criteria
would be quite a tricky prospect. And how would you know if you were succeeding in (a) drawing all the water you needed but also (b) not taking any of the
fresh water?
Testing the first one would be simple — all you’d have to do would be to measure the output of your straw with something akin to a water meter. The second
test would be more complicated but could be done by taking samples of the
water and electrically checking the level of salt. Your goal is 35,000 parts of salt
per million parts of water, because that’s the salinity of seawater itself. Anything
less than 95 percent of that in your sample, and you’d have to shut down the
pump and start over somewhere else.
That is the multi-million-dollar drama being played out right now on a large
scale in Marina, with the Monterey Peninsula’s future water source on the line.
Marina is built on sand, which corresponds to the sand in our sandbox analogy. The Pacific Ocean is the seawater pool, and the Salinas River and its underground aquifer are the freshwater pool. The slant well penetrates the sand where
it meets the Pacific Ocean and is furiously pumping water as we write this —
water that’s being tested to see if it meets the criteria we have mentioned.
This community has been coping with a dire water shortage for decades, and
all that time we’ve pretty much been left on our own to solve it even as various
federal and state agencies threw roadblocks in our way. Now, all of sudden
there’s a statewide drought and everybody’s searching for ways to solve it, which
means much of the political opposition to desal has dried up. But it’s by no
means a foregone conclusion that the desal plant being tested in Marina will
work, or that it will be granted permits even if its tests succeed.
That is why we cover these issues so closely, and why you should be paying
attention. If this community is going to have the water it requires for basic
human necessities during the decades to come, and for a small amount of growth
within existing developed areas, the test well must work. We all must hope that
it does.

Facts about COTA fees
Dear Editor,
Your report in the April 17 issue of The
Pine Cone missed the mark regarding my
comments at the Community Activities and
Cultural Commission meeting on April 14
concerning the Concours on the Avenue.
The commission was asked to make recommendations to the council regarding the
event in general and, specifically, regarding
the requested waiver of city fees of $29,514
(staff reported that estimated other city costs
of the event which the city would absorb
anyway total $6,550).
I had my first chance to read the commission’s informational packet regarding this
event during the meeting itself as it had not
been available online.
Once I read the packet, I asked the commission to disregard all statements I had
made earlier in the meeting and then I made

Which brings up the late comedy writer
Selma Diamond. Why is a top-flight
marathoner like a salty, chain-smoking,
gravel-voiced, wisecracking funny woman?
Dedication, focus, guts and determination
for starters. What Diamond achieved in her
generation was the comedy equivalent of
winning a world-class marathon.
Her first credits were cartoons and humor
pieces for “The New Yorker.” She wrote for
Groucho Marx, Goodman Ace, and Ozzie
and Harriet on radio. Then
television called — Sid
Caesar’s landmark show. She
joined a legendary stable of
writers that included Mel
Brooks, Carl Reiner and Neil
Simon. Diamond was the only
woman at the top of the maledominated world of comedy writing.
Years later, when Carl Reiner created
“The Dick Van Dyke Show,” he based the
character of Sally Rogers, the unmarried,
quick-witted comedy scribe, on Diamond.
She was often asked why she never married. She said, “The only reason for getting
married is to have someone get up in the
middle of the night to get you a drink of
water.” She credited her ambition and drive
to her grandmother, who had been a suffragette.
Asked why so few women writers ever
made it in the early days of radio and television, she said, “Male chauvinism. I can’t
stand that crap about women not having a
sense of humor. I always say if women didn’t
have a sense of humor, they’d never marry
men.”
Her caustic wit, feisty personality and a
voice she once described as sounding like
Brillo made her a popular guest on TV talk
shows. With deadpan delivery, she could turn
a mildly amusing line into a scream.
A female college reporter once asked her
how old a girl ought to be before she should
go to a prom in a strapless dress. Diamond
answered, “If it stays up, you’re old enough.”
In later years, she appeared in cameos and
small acting parts in movies and on television. “I think young,” she said. “The problem
is, all the time I’m thinking young, I’m getting older. In this country, everyone wants to
stay young. On the Continent, a woman ages
like wine. Here, the minute you stop fizzing,

Hers was the ear-piercing phone voice of
Spencer Tracy’s wife in the movie, “It’s a
Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” Her last role,
as the tough-talking bailiff on the sitcom
“Night Court,” was cut short by her death in
1985 at age 64.
My memories of Diamond go back to the
late 1970s, when I interviewed her for my
book, “How the Great Comedy Writers
Create Laughter.” She was casual, gracious
and unpretentious. From that interview,
here’s Selma Diamond in her own words:
“I came out to Hollywood, went to a producer and showed him some comedy material. He wasn’t too impressed with me or the
material. He said, ‘No, we have plenty of
writers.’ Then I remembered that I had once
met someone from the William Morris
Agency who said if I ever came to the coast
I should look him up. So I did and he sent me
back to the same producer and I got a job.
Wilde Times
By LARRY WILDE
“Good comedy writing is a reflection of
our times. It has to be based on truth …
about something the audience can identify
with, what they read in the paper that morning or the weather ….
“I think being a woman has given me a
slight edge. I become aware of new fashions
and trends before fellows do. There have
been many occasions when I’d come up with
jokes that the comedians and writers backed
away from because they didn’t know what I
was talking about. So you get down on your
knees and you say, ‘Please try it!’ And then
they’re surprised when it works.
“That’s why comedians surround themselves with talented writers. At best you’re
guessing. If you’re an expert, you’re just
guessing a little better than somebody who’s
not an expert.
“As a female, there were things you had
to overcome to be a comedy writer. The hostility between men and women is a natural
thing. At first I couldn’t understand it. Then
I noticed that men working with each other
are hostile. So I don’t think it’s because I was
a woman. It’s because I was another writer. A
woman should keep in mind that men aren’t
that nice to each other.”
Selma Diamond ran a great race, setting
the pace for future generations of women in
comedy. We miss her. Fortunately the laughter lives on.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL impact report
for the water project that seeks to turn wastewater into drinking water was released this
week.
The project, a collaboration between the
Monterey Peninsula Water Management
District and the Monterey Regional Water
Pollution Control Agency, is officially called
Pure Water Monterey.
The project “addresses the water supply
needs of the Monterey Peninsula and the
Salinas Valley by not only delivering highly
purified water for replenishment of the
Seaside Groundwater Basin,” according to
the water district, “but also delivering additional tertiary treated water to the Salinas
Valley for agricultural irrigation, thereby
reducing groundwater pumping in that area.”
The public comment period for the project began Wednesday and will last for 45
days, until June 5 at 5 p.m . To view the EIR,

reproductive process. “With so few condors,
it would be a shame to miss an opportunity
for a breeding pair to raise a chick.”
One nesting pair recently received a
healthy egg from the Los Angeles Zoo, and as
a result, they are now the foster parents of a
healthy chick — the first born locally this
year.
While the effort to reintroduce condors to
the wild has encountered many challenges
since it began nearly two decades ago,
Sorenson said he’s optimistic the birds’ numbers will continue to rise — particularly once
California’s recently enacted lead-bullet ban
is phased in over the next five years. Lead
bullets have proved to be the greatest threat to
condors. “We’re in the home stretch,” he said.
Photo highlights recovery efforts
More than a year after the VWS and the
Oakland Zoo teamed up to install a webcam
at a feeding site in the Big Sur wilderness,
the camera captured the striking image of a
bald eagle and a California condor just inches apart, when the two birds apparently happened to come to feed at the same time. For
the folks at the VWS, the photograph brings
together the two birds the nonprofit has
focused its efforts on. Before launching its
condor reintroduction program, the group
brought the bald eagle back to the Central
California coast,

“The photo really captures what we’ve been

Jennifer Simmons
Jennifer Simmons was born in Santa Rosa on May 12,
1950, the daughter of Francis and Margaret Simmons.
She passed at Community Hospital of the Monterey
Peninsula on March 4, 2015, surrounded by family and
friends. Jen has been a prominent citizen of Carmel
Valley since 1958.
A lifelong teacher, Jen attended Cal Poly, San Luis
Obispo and graduated with a degree in Elementary
Education. Her teaching career included a short stint
in Grants Pass, Oregon and a year at All Saints Day
School in Carmel Valley. But mostly, Jen is known for
her long tenure as a beloved fifth grade teacher at
Tularcitos Elementary School, beginning in 1984. While at Tularcitos, Jen was
known for her passion for physical education and kinesthetic learning. Her
classroom was always a beehive of productive activity. Beyond the classroom, she
was dedicated to recreation, the playgrounds, and the gardens. Jen was three
times Teacher of the Year for Monterey County.

In Jen's life, there was an affinity for water and the ocean. She began surfing
in college, then continued as a Carmel surfer at a time in life when most of us
would find the ocean daunting. Jen enjoyed many trips to Maui with special
friends. She was truly dedicated to the Masters swimming program in Carmel, a
disciple and friend of Bob Walthour. Jen always said that a swim was the “Best
way to start the day.” In her world, she needed to “Swim to live.” She would be
there to open the pool in the wee hours of the morning, encourage all who
came, swim miles herself, then depart for a full day of teaching.
Jen had a special empathy for all humans and animals. Her generous spirit
gave her an ability to teach that each individual possesses unique and special
qualities. There is a thread that connected all the diverse pieces of Jen's life, and
that is her remarkable role as a mentor and teacher. Although she was a gifted
athlete herself, an accomplished and winning triathlete, her focus was always on
her students. Whether in the classroom, the horse arena, the pool, during
nature hikes with children, or on the beach, Jen let her students know that passion for what they did was the key to a life well lived. It was impossible to go anywhere in Jen's company without joyous cries of “Miss Simmons, Miss Simmons!”
from an endless group of devoted students. Jen would always remember their
names. Years after leaving her classroom, they wanted her to know of their passions, and she wanted to hear of them.

Jen's activities outside of her work made her a true icon of Carmel and Carmel
Valley life. She was a lifelong horsewoman, serving as a board member of the
Carmel Valley Trail and Saddle Club. She was a founding board member and
the show manager for the prestigious Central Coast Ranch Horse Classic. Jen
was always a figurehead at the Trail and Saddle Club, riding her palomino horses, followed by her beloved yellow labradors, and greeting all who came to the

Jen's love of laughter, her dry sense of humor, and her astute grasp of human
nature will forever be missed, especially by those friends who cherished the
depth of loyal friendship that her unique qualities provided. Her life is part of
the fabric of Carmel Valley.
Jen is preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Margaret Simmons, and
her uncle, Donald Simmons. Jen leaves a loving sister, Susan Simmons, generations of devoted students, and a group of friends from different facets of her life,
all devoted to her kind and unique friendship.

Horsing around is a great way to spend your summer vacation
By LISA CRAWFORD WATSON
W
HETHER IT’S shrouded with coastal fog or
bathed in valley sun, the beauty of the
Monterey Peninsula makes residents and visitors alike want to spend their summers outdoors. And while
hiking and biking are two very good ways to do that, horseback is also a perfect way to explore and enjoy the area —
just like they did in the old days.
The Peninsula, in fact, offers plenty of opportunities to
saddle up and feel the wind in your hair.
Here’s how you can make that experience part of your
family’s summer fun.
n Beach rides and lessons
Monterey Bay Equestrian Center, established in 1981 on a
ranch in Prunedale and owned by Michael Mastroianni and
his wife Madaline, has offered oceanfront rides along Salinas
River State Beach for 27 years. Participants schedule their
rides in advance and then meet up at the beach with the
Mastroiannis and their horses to saddle up for a 1-hour, 1.5hour or 2-hour guided ride up and over the dunes and down
along the water’s edge.
At Monterey Bay Equestrian Center, youngsters have the chance to learn competitive riding
(top), and anyone can participate in a scenic — and even inspirational — ride along the
Monterey Bay shoreline.
“It’s an awesome experience, riding along the shoreline,”
says Madaline. “It’s amazing to feel the spray as you ride
along the ocean, particularly for more experienced riders,
who can do a little canter in the shallow water.”
The Marina Equestrian Center, located on the former Fort
Ord, also offers summer horse camps for kids, and lessons
for all ages. Established as the Fort Ord Stables during
wartime, the center has access to miles and miles of trails for
equestrians who want to trailer in their own horses to ride off
into the sunset. Otherwise, Carmel Valley native Maura

camps for kids during the summer.
n Trail Rides
McPadden, owner of PetSavvy Training, located at the
Equestrian Center, provides “school horses” for all ages to
learn how to horseback ride in an arena setting.
“Although I teach all ages and all levels,” says McPadden,
“my niche has become beginning riders. Over the years, I’ve
developed a wide clientele from all communities. My adult
riders tend to be people returning to riding, but I cater to anyone who wants to ride.”
The Monterey Bay Equestrian Center also offers horsedrawn carriages for weddings, proms and quinceaneras, as
well as petting zoos and ponies to bring to parties. The
Mastroiannis, who have competed on the Class A horse show
circuit, during which Madaline won three U.S. titles and one
Canadian championship, offer group and solo horseback riding lessons seven days a week to beginner and experienced
riders at their Prunedale ranch, as well as five-day horse
Perhaps the best-known haven for horseback riding on the
Monterey Peninsula is the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center.
Touted as the premier local horseback riding facility, the center has access to more than 30 miles of trails that wander
through the Del Monte Forest, and offers its famous beach
ride, which parallels 17 Mile Drive before winding up
between Cypress Point Club and Spyglass Hill golf courses
for a spectacular view of the coast.
“Riders can also follow a trail to the Carmel gate and down
the road to Carmel Beach for a ride along the shore,” says
Robert Lapso, who took the reins of the center a month ago,
after retiring from nearly 20 years as controller for the Pebble
Beach Company. “If someone has a horse and wants to rent
one of our guides for a trail ride, they can.”
The Equestrian Center also offers lessons in jumping,
dressage, eventing, and is looking to add western in the near
S U N
future. They stable 88 horses on property, 48 of which are privately owned. You can take private or semi-private lessons on
their horses or yours.
A new opportunity for people looking to trail ride is the
Equestrian Center that opened last summer at the Carmel
Valley Ranch resort. Nestled among the chaparral and oaks of
the foothills, the center, which corrals ponies, burros and
horses, now offers various levels of horseback riding and
equestrian adventures.
Carmel Valley Cowgirl Molly Heneks gives ranch guests
and visitors lessons on local history, and the nature and
wildlife of the valley, while managing a herd of some 30 horses at the hilltop corral. Among her equestrian offerings are
60- or 90-minute trail rides along the Chaparral Loop or the
Sunset Trail.
n Horseplay
For children, Carmel Valley Ranch hosts the Kiddie
Corral, where kids get to become “junior ranch hands.” After
a mini-roping lesson, cowboy arts & crafts, time to pet and
curry miniature horses, and saddle up for a pony ride, kids
can pose for a photo with their favorite animal.
Private pony rides on kid-friendly horses are also available, accompanied by equally kid-friendly trail guides. Ranch
hands also throw one heckuva hoedown for kids who want to
celebrate birthdays or other occasions with a private pony
party at the ranch.
Some local stables even specialize in giving horseback riding experiences to children you might not expect to see on the
back of a horse. Christine Marie’s Star Riders, located at the
Marina Equestrian Center, is a nonprofit organization which
gives disabled children a chance to ride.
“An autistic child who had never spoken, after his experiences at Star Riders, started talking,” says owner Linda
Martin, who named the organization after her own child, who
died at age 19. “Even children with cerebral palsy can be
taken out of their wheelchairs and put on a horse, as we walk
alongside,” Martin says.
n Giddy up
Whether you’re an experienced equestrian, a beginner or
looking to get back in the saddle, the Monterey Peninsula has
plenty of programs and a whole lot of horses just waiting to
carry you off into the sunset. Just remember to sit back, relax,
and enjoy the ride.
“We tell all our riders, whether experienced or novice, you
want to be still, feel calm, remember you’re out for a nice
ride,” says Michael Mastroianni. “If you’re jerky and jittery
on the horse, he’ll sense it. Just like being around dogs and
other animals, the calmer you are, the calmer the horse will
be. So let yourself be at ease. The horse is doing most of the
work, so you don’t have to.”

At city hall, Gael Gallagher (above) talks about the days
when a Hollywood superstar was mayor. At the Pt. Sur
lighthouse, John O’Neil (left) describes life on the rock in
the era of sailing ships.
Monica Hudson and Gael Gallagher’s Carmel Walks. Both
guides also give tours of other local spots, like Point Lobos
and Cannery Row, and custom tours by appointment.
The two women took similar routes but had different styles
during their two-hour tours. Both were happy to answer questions and address topics of interest to their guests along the
way.
Hudson wrote the book, “Carmel-by-the-Sea,” in Arcadia
Publishing’s “Images of America” collection. Her research
included many interviews with long-time Carmel residents.
She sprinkled their insights throughout the tour.
For example, at Court of the Golden Bough, she showed a
photo of the inside of the theater that once stood there. Then
she related, somewhat conspiratorially, that an older
Carmelite complained that it was nearly impossible to neck in
there because of the way the wicker seats were configured.
At the Church of the Wayfarer, she offered guests a chance
to ring the church bell. She also pointed out the scripture references in the church’s garden, which link many plants there
to specific Bible verses.
Visiting city hall
If Hudson’s tour was like walking by a stream and picking
up gems, Gallagher’s was more like shooting the information
rapids. In addition to giving Carmel tours, she’s a guide at the
aquarium, Point Lobos, and the National Steinbeck Center.
She’s been a guide and naturalist for 31 years.
Her fast-moving narrative was full of good-natured banter
and humor as she strode energetically from one site to another.
Gallagher stopped in front of city hall and talked about
Clint Eastwood’s term as mayor. She said that the paparazzi
came out in full force for his inauguration and that regular
council meetings got so crowded they couldn’t be held in city
hall. She also showed off her permit to wear high heels.

From there, like Hudson, Gallagher led her charges to the
Church of the Wayfarer. She pointed out the stained glass
windows with scenes of local history, including one showing
Father Serra at the mission, accented by whales in the upper
corners.
Other stops on both tours included First Murphy House
and Cypress Inn.
The guides on all three tours had remarkable depth and
breadth of knowledge. Their enthusiasm was contagious and
time passed quickly. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or
you just arrived last week, all these tours offer an opportunity
to learn something new while enjoying a walk with views of
land and sea.

VERY DAY, we can enjoy both beautiful surroundings and the ability to take thousands of pictures
without paying for film or waiting for them to
come back from the developer. Also, we always have cameras
handy. Unfortunately, this combination can — and often does
— produce vast quantities of photos that leave us asking,
“What was I thinking?”
To improve the odds of capturing summer memories with-
out the head-scratching results, The Pine Cone sought out
some advice. Chris Hartzell, co-owner with wife Ame of

Hartzell’s first recommendation was to
become familiar with your equipment,
whether you’re using a smart phone or a digital single-lens reflex with all the bells and
I N
whistles. The better you know your camera,
the more quickly you’ll be able to set up a
good shot of that fleeing deer or scampering
toddler.
When it comes to cameras and accessories, don’t equate “more expensive” with

“better.” Before investing a lot of money, think about why
you’re taking photos and what you want to do with them. A
point-and-shoot model may be perfect for your needs.
An elaborate Nikon or Canon or Olympus will provide
more control over the photos, but you’ll carry a bit more
equipment. If that becomes a barrier to bringing the camera
along, it’s not worth the expense. As Steelman said, “The best
camera is the one you have with you.”
Next, Hartzell said, pay attention to the lighting. This
seems like a “duh,” but sometimes people forget that if subject is backlit, for example, details will be lost. In most cases,
the subject of a photo should have roughly the same amount
I N
T H E
of light on it as the background.
Then take some time to compose the shot. Hartzell and
other photography instructors recommend the “rule of thirds.”
Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid on your viewfinder or screen, and
place your subject at the intersection of two of the lines,
rather than dead center.
Tell me a story
A picture should tell a story. When Hartzell’s photographing an animal, he wants to get some background to provide
context. Steelman said that while it’s certainly okay to have
the family line up and smile for a group shot, it’s also great to
capture them doing things like picking flowers or carrying the
kids piggyback.
He added, “Let people be themselves.” If the grandkids are

playing happily, just snap the photo. Don’t stop to make them
face the camera and say “cheese.”
Where should you take pictures? For wildlife, Hartzell
said that the Monterey Audubon Society’s website was a good
resource. He also recommended checking out national, state,
county, city and regional park websites for useful information. There’s a wide variety of boat tours for those seeking
whales, otters, and seabirds as well.
For family photos, just about anywhere your family gets
together is fine. Family events often involve eating, which
Steelman said could make people more self-conscious. He
said it’s good to be a bit of a “ninja” sometimes, by shooting
from a distance, or trying to blend in until everyone relaxes.
He also advised learning to anticipate what’s going to happen — for example, if someone’s telling a funny story, line up
the shot and wait for the punch line, and then take another
shot as people react to it.
For significant events, like major birthdays or anniversaries, Steelman recommended hiring a professional photographer. First, you’ll almost certainly get better pictures. More
importantly, though, you’ll be able to enjoy the event.
“It’s important to balance making a memory with making
a record of the memory,” Steelman said. Sometimes it’s better
to hand off the camera to someone else. Or follow the rule he
has when it comes to his own family: Take some pictures and
then put the camera down.
Pointing out that less is sometimes more, Steelman said,
“What’s the point of having 40,000 pictures in your computer
if you missed all the moments?” He said he finally realized
his son would rather have memories of playing with him than
hundreds of great photos.
Now, about those thousands of pictures: At some point, it’s
time to decide which ones to keep. Hartzell said not to be too
quick to hit “delete,” noting that storage media has become
very inexpensive.
He suggested that if a color picture looks bad, using editing software to turn it into a black and white photo might
improve it. And of course, if you can’t make up your mind
about whether to keep a photo, it’s okay to come back to it
later.
Finally, whether you’re stalking rare birds or a herd of wild
teenagers, the most important thing is to make some memories, capture some moments and have plenty of summer fun.

bers that can speak at the public meeting on the issue because

Brooks, who took Elinor Laiolo’s seat, has a subordinate unit
in her house, albeit unrented.
—Compiled by Christopher Good
Make it an
awesome summer.
Two years of extraordinary community effort ended on
September 10, 1940, when students attended classes for the
first time at Carmel High School. During the 24 months prior
to the opening, the community first rallied to give overwhelming support to a high school of its own, then split bitterly over the selection of a site.
Despite this rift and opposition from Monterey, determined, citizens progressed toward their goal encouraged by
the words of Charles van Riper, who, at the beginning of the
battle said, “If there is ever to be a Carmel High School, all of
us will have to work for it, hard and fast.” In the summer of
1938, the idea of a high school for the then Sunset School elementary district attracted considerable attention and a fact
finding committee was formed. Attending Monterey High
School were 128 students from the Sunset district.
The assessed valuation of the Sunset district including
Carmel, Carmel Point, Carmel Woods, Hatton Fields and the
southern part of Pebble Beach was $9,000,000. Taxpayers in
these areas paid 28 percent of the cost of maintaining
Monterey Union High School for 12 percent of the school’s
attendance, plus $29 a day to bus students over the hill.

The Carmel City Council has housing on its mind:
Tuesday’s agenda was filled with subordinate units, a site for
the first Murphy house, and a lease for the Flanders Mansion.
The council will meet at 4 p.m., Tuesday, May 1 in Carmel
City Council Chambers. It will once again try to tackle the
elusive subordinate unit ordinance, which sets standards for
legalization of existing units and prohibits new ones except in
hardship cases.

EVENTS MEAN BUSINESS!
We hope everyone survived “tax
season” and is looking forward to a
prosperous spring. We have had a
very busy month at the Chamber.
A very special thank you to Mary
Crowe and her team at La Playa
Carmel for hosting a dynamic mixer
at the beginning of April. The food,
wine and energy in the room were
outstanding. We encourage you to
Graeme Robertson attend our next mixer at the Mazda
2015 Board Chair
Raceway Laguna Seca on April 30
hosted by Jeanie Sumners and her team.
We hosted our Executive Leadership members at a
luncheon earlier this month at La Playa Carmel. At the
lunch, we heard great presentations from Tom Burns
of The Carmel International Film Festival and Doug
Thurston of the Big Sur International Marathon. We
had a very interesting discussion on both of these very
important events to our Village and the broader Monterey
Peninsula. The Marathon has an annual economic impact
of over $18 million and contributes over $250,000 back
into the community each year. Last year, The Carmel
International Film Festival generated over 420 million
impressions of our area from all media sources and
had a record attendance. These events and the other
events that are hosted by Carmel-by-the-Sea enable us
to share this extraordinary area with a diverse group of
visitors. In addition, the residents and businesses are the

increased exposure and opportunities for incremental
revenues in their establishments.
Please extend a warm welcome to all the participants
and volunteers at The Big Sur International Marathon.
We will look forward to seeing you at the “Finish Line”.
