POLICE OFFICERS, firefighters and medics stoodbefore the Carmel City Council Tuesday to receive praise

“Thanks to all of you,”he said, looking around atthe men gathered at thefront of the room andadding praise for the dis-patcher who took the call.“This is why I’m here.”

He also thanked hiswife, Lynn, a registerednurse who heard the

WHEN IT’S the middle of the night, and more than 150people have just been killed in a night club fire in Louisville,Ky., how do you get immediate eyewitness accounts from 650miles away?

It was May 29, 1977, and as the lowest ranking, just-out-of-college person on the CBS Radio newsdesk, it wasn’t evenremotely my job to try to answer this question. But, to theastonishment of the senior editors and anchors on duty thatnight, I answered it anyway.

If you’re a news junkie at all, you’re familiar with the“Hourlies” on the CBS Radio Network. Still a mainstay ofradio news, these five-minute broadcasts are carried on hun-dreds of local stations across the country. You know ...“Bong!” right on the hour, followed by a high-energy musicalsignature that hasn’t changed in maybe forever, and then ananchorman says, “CBS News ....”

Happening right nowAt the beginning of my network news career, when the

24/7 ubiquity of the Internet wasn’t even on the horizon, radionews had a special niche among the national news media.While newspapers provided an in-depth look at what had hap-pened the day before, and evening newscasts offered the topstories of the same day, radio news broadcasts were the onlything that could tell you what was happening at the moment.

Furthermore, 30 years ago at CBS, the network’s rich lega-cy of groundbreaking radio broadcasts during World War II(“This is London ....”), meant that radio news still had a veryprominent, and respected, role.

CALL, AND DRAMA

ON THE AIRWAVES

By MARY BROWNFIELD

THE ARGUMENTS for and against the sale ofFlanders Mansion — Measure I on the Nov. 3 ballot— have been filed with the Monterey CountyElections department, and each side is gearing upcampaigns for the months ahead.

After years of back-and-forth arguments, voters inCarmel-by-the-Sea will decide on “a measure to dis-continue and abandon as public parkland approxi-mately 1.25 acres known as the Flanders Mansionproperty, with conditions to include conservationeasements and mitigations, and authorization to sellthis parcel known as Flanders Mansion property.”

The city council, which has tried for years to sellthe historic mansion and has twice been sued over thematter, approved its ballot argument in favor of thesale at a special meeting Aug. 13.

“After 35 years of study, the city found no munic-ipal use for this isolated building that would merit itsrestoration cost and long-term maintenance,” thestatement says. “Sale as an historic home will put it

Quick response saves doctor’s lifeunconscious, quickly felt for a pulse and dialed 911.

Moments later, “there were three police officers andfive firefighters in the bathroom,” she said.

“Well, it’s a big bathroom,” O’Neill added.Police Chief George Rawson summarized the incident,

when shortly after 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, “a call came inof a gentleman that had collapsed.”

Police officers, who carry automated external defibril-lators in their cars and are trained in CPR, arrived first.

“Sometimes they are faster than the fire department —though our fire department is very fast — and that’s a goodthing, because everybody knows the seconds are count-ing,” Rawson said. “And in this case, the seconds werevery critical to the person that had fallen ill.”

In the home, officer Chris Johnson determined O’Neillhad no vital signs. He and officers Greg Johnson (hisbrother) and Josh Plosser initiated CPR. Within seconds,firefighters and the Carmel Regional Fire Ambulancecrew arrived and took over the lifesaving efforts, includingloading O’Neill into an ambulance and rushing him toCommunity Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.

He had suffered a heart attack and spent a week in thehospital — half the time in ICU — but did not undergo

Psychics gather on home turfState water board:Proposed cutbacksdon’t go far enough

By KELLY NIX

Sacramento — MONTEREY PENIN-SULA business leaders and residents told theState Water Resources Control BoardWednesday that a proposed cutback orderwould devastate the already struggling localeconomy and could pose a threat to health andand safety.

The board’s meeting was held inSacramento to consider a cease and desistorder which would limit the amount of watereach person could use per day to a minuscule30 to 50 gallons.

Pleadings by water officials, the hospitalityindustry, and city and county leaders did littleto evoke sympathy from at least one statewater board member, who said the draft orderisn’t harsh enough.

“I see the conditions in the order as the bareminimum that the board should impose in thismatter,” said Tam Doduc at the end of thethree-hour meeting. “I would strongly encour-age us to not reduce the conditions in the

Seaside Blossoms - Seaside is themost racially and culturally diversecommunity on the MontereyPeninsula, a direct result of its histo-ry with the Army. Before 1950 itwas a sprawling, unincorporated

area known as “North Monterey” with an array of chick-en farms, one major housing subdivision, some shacksleft over from the Depression and some quickly built,affordable housing put up for soldiers’ families and civil-ian support staff during World War I and World War II.After President Harry Truman ordered the Army inte-grated in 1948, military officials decided to transfer allthe black troops to Fort Ord because they were worriedabout racial violence elsewhere. The surge of blacktroops and their families into Fort Ord more than dou-bled the population of Seaside in the early ‘50s, and itincorporated as a city in 1954. When the base closed 40years later and the soldiers left, many Latinos and Asiansmoved into the housing built for troops, helping changethe racial and cultural mix of the city yet again.

Garden tour’s insights defy water shortage

By CHRIS COUNTS

IN RECOGNITION of its 30 years of service to a rural,isolated and far-flung community, the United States House ofRepresentatives adopted a resolution praising the Big SurHealth Center.

“The center is the only source of outpatient care for the1,500 residents of over 100 miles of remote and mountainousBig Sur coast,” explained Rep. Sam Farr in the resolution,which was dated July 9. “As a Big Sur resident myself, Iapplaud the work of the health center staff and volunteerswho do so much for their neighbors an visitors alike.”

Founded in 1979, the health center was originally locatedin the Big Sur Grange Hall.

“We were open only on Mondays,” cofounder AlanPerlmutter recalled. “The main hall was our reception room,and the doctor’s examination room was the kitchen.”

In 1985, the health center moved to the grounds of the AllSaints Episcopal Church, which is located on the west sideHighway 1, just south of the Big Sur River Inn. For 19 years,the health center existed in a couple of old trailers. But in2004, after an ambitious fundraising effort, the clinic finallymoved into a permanent building of its own.

While the health center’s infrastructure has changed dra-matically over the past 30 years, its goal remains the same.

“The health center’s mission is to provide healthcare toanyone in Big Sur, regardless of their ability to pay,”

explained Perlmutter.Funded by donations and private grants, the health center

was one of the first of its size in the country to install a state-of-the-art electronic medical record-keeping and informationtransmission system, Perlmutter said.

To those who have worked to hard to improve it — as wellas those who benefit from its services, the clinic is a vital andirreplaceable institution.

“The health center has brought me joy, health andstrength,” Perlmutter added.

In the resolution, Farr singled out the healthcenter as aprime example of how a small community can make a bigdifference in healthcare.

“The Big Sur Health Center is a national treasure,” Farradded. “It exemplifies the kind of dedicated grassroots healthservices that will be a key ingredient in a reformed Americanhealth care system.”

The health center will celebrate its 30th anniversary witha barbecue at the Big Sur Grange Hall, Saturday, Sept. 12,from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, call (831) 667-2700.

To the Doctors of Monterey County: Many of you knew of Carl Bergstrom's alcohol and drug problems. Whydid you choose to protect him instead of his patients? Why do you continue to remain silent? It is common sense toknow that an alcoholic who is not in recovery does not have the critical thinking necessary to diagnose and treatpatients.

To members of the medical community who have said they didn’t know what to do: File a com-plaint with the California Medical Board. If you are frightened for your job, file the report anonymously. There shouldbe mandatory reporting. If people thought they could lose their own license to practice medicine by failure to reportthings might change.

To the California Medical Board: Thank you for finally assigning an able and intelligent investigator to thiscase.

To the California Medical Association and the AMA: Why do you not do a better job policing doctors?Why is it the patient's responsibility after a catastrophe to go through the difficult process of either filing a complaintor a malpractice suit? Many professions require random drug testing; why not the medical profession? We have thefamous cases: Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, but they are the tip of the iceberg. The story of my husband'sunnecessary suffering is the most important to me, but I know it is just one of thousands.

To the men who sat at restaurant tables with Carl Bergstrom and enjoyed watching the sex videos he hadon his cell phone: Why did you encourage him? Do you have any regrets?

To Carl Bergstrom's family and friends: I am sorry for any pain that you feel. Please do not think thatenabling him helps him or any community in which he will live.

To Carl Bergstrom: I hope you use the time you spend in prison to become a better person. My husband, ArtieWarner, loved you and trusted you. When you came out of treatment he tried to sponsor you. While he was dyingmany people came and held his hand and told him how much he was loved. You never did. What is at stake isn't yourfreedom but your humanity. My husband always said to leave room for miracles and the inadvertent. I don't forgiveyou, but he would have. Your lack of remorse for the suffering you have caused is disheartening.

R.I.P. Arthur WarnerThis is a personal ad placed by Jan Warner and does not reflect the opinions of the Pine Cone

HIPPOCRATIC OATHI swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those

who are to follow.I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's

knife or the chemist's drug.I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are

needed for a patient's recovery.I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I

tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within mypower to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my ownfrailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the per-son's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately forthe sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellowhuman beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so asto preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

The following is a revised form of the ad that appeared in the Herald. It is in response to the ad of Nassime Jasem requesting donations for prisoner Bergstrom. I tried to call Ms. Jasem andshe refused to speak with me. There is no accounting in the ad of how any funds given will be

handled. Prisoner Bergstrom has not returned the money he owes his patients.There are serious issues that need to be addressed and I have chosen this method.

When I first placed the ad I did so out of my personal grief. I have been honored to be called the “con-science of the community” but the real heroes in this story are the women who had the courage to comeforward and tell the truth. If you are a patient of prisoner Bergstrom who was not harmed you are fortunate.I am concerned about the silence of the medical community. I do not have a vendetta against doctors andam extremely grateful for those who gave my husband excellent medical care. I have thanked them eachpersonally. In the spirit of community reconciliation I am willing to pay for an ad doctors are willing to signreaffirming their commitment to the Hippocratic Oath and expressing their deep regret that a member oftheir community – prisoner Bergstrom – failed to uphold the promises he made on becoming a doctor.

inmates helped him up and to staff, who immediately tookhim to the hospital for a CT scan.

Deputies “didn’t take me out on a stretcher or gurney,” hesaid. “They made me walk.”

The mishaps have left Myers with “severe head injuriesthat have required medical care and will require medical carein the future” and have “impacted plaintiff ’s earning capaci-ty and future earning capacity,” his suit says.

His lawsuit alleges negligence, dangerous condition ofpublic property and failure to warn against a dangerous con-dition.

The incident was caused by employees of the county who“did nothing to warn plaintiff of the danger, nor take any rea-sonable steps to protect him from the foreseeable danger,”according to the lawsuit.

Myers submitted a claim with the county, but it wasrejected in May.

Senior deputy county Counsel Bill Rentz said he believesjail transport vans are safe.

“We looked at this [issue]when it was a claim anddecided to deny it based onno liability,” Rentz said.“Our opinion has notchanged since the claim wasdenied.”

Rentz said he couldn’tspeak about the volleyballaccident because he wasn’tsure about the specifics.Another attorney with thecounty, who was not avail-able Thursday, is handlingMyers’ lawsuit.

Myers’ Monterey attor-ney, Terry Rockwood, wasunavailable for comment.

Myers said the main rea-son for his lawsuit is notmoney, but to force thecounty to require seat beltsin sheriff ’s transport vans,and ensure that prisoners aregiven proper medical carewhile in jail.

“Even though you areincarcerated,” he said, “youshould still have some kindof protection against injury.”


County jail inmate sues for rough ride and volleyball mishapBy KELLY NIX

A FORMER inmate at the Monterey County Jail whosaid he suffered severe head, back and neck injuries from arough ride in a sheriff ’s vehicle and a jail-yard volleyballmishap, has filed a lawsuit against county alleging negli-gence.

Kenneth David Myers, 44, is suing the county for twoincidents in 2008 in which he said he received lastinginjuries. The first occurred Sept. 5, when Myers was beingtransported from the Salinas courthouse to the jail in a sher-iff ’s van.

Myers told The Pine Cone the deputy driving the van wasspeeding when he hit a 2-foot curb at the jail.

“The van went up on two wheels,” he said. “And when itslammed down ... it launched me into the roof of the van. Ithurt my neck and the lock from the shackle dug into my back.My back was actually bleeding really bad.”

Myers, who was in ankle and hand restraints at the time,was treated by jail medical staff, according to the suit, filedAug. 25 in Monterey County Superior Court.

Myers, who wouldn’t say what his 120-day jail term wasfor, “suffered great physical and mental pain because of thenegligence of agents and employees of Monterey County,”his lawsuit claims.

Volleyball misfortune In the second accident in December 2008, Myers said

while he was still recovering from the first injury, he went tothe jail exercise yard to stretch and walk around when, as abystander, he was injured during a volleyball game.

An inmate “spiked the ball over the net and fell into it,” hesaid. “It caused both poles to come crashing down ... and apole hit me in the head from the back. It knocked the crap outof me. It further injured my neck.”

Knocked unconscious for a few seconds, Myers said

5. We engage in and support causes that beneficially affect the lives of Valley residents ofdiverse backgrounds and means, such as affordable housing. For example, CVA helpedavert the closing of the special needs community of Rippling River.

6. Whether our community continues to be governed by the county or by our own locallyelected town council, we’ll see to it that the views of the majority of CVA members onall key issues are taken into account in the governmental decision making process. We’llcontinue to resist the powerful external forces that may be at variance from the wishesof Valley residents.

7. Our Board, elected annually by CVA members, conducts its monthly meetings in pub-lic, and seeks to consider all shades of Valley opinion, and to represent faithfully themajority view of its membership.

8. We’ll continue to ENJOY LIFE in the Valley, and help community members stayinformed, get to know their neighbors, discuss local events and issues, and express theirviews on how best to preserve and protect the unique character of the Valley.

LAWYERS REPRESENTING the City of Carmel in thesexual-harassment suit filed in June by human resourcesmanager Jane Miller are asking the court to disqualify herlawyer, Michael Stamp, because he “previously representedthe city in various personnel matters from 1985 to 2002,”during which he “obtained confidential information that ismaterial to the instant action.”

Supported by a declaration from city clerk Heidi Burch,the motion indicates Stamp advised city officials “on thevery sexual harassment policy upon which this lawsuit isbased,” and says he should have notified them in writing thathe planned to represent Miller, who is suing the city for sex-ual harassment and discrimination based on the allegedlyinappropriate behavior and actions of city administrator RichGuillen. Citing the Rule of Professional Conduct, the lawyersalso say he also did not obtain the city’s permission to workfor Miller.

As a result, the court should disqualify Stamp, and every-one else in his law office, “in order to prevent the improperuse against the city of the city’s confidential information pro-vided to Mr. Stamp.”

The document goes on to summarize the work Stamp didfor the city. In 1985, he discussed hiring and compensation;in 1986, he talked about job descriptions and requirements ofat-will employment; and in 1987, he “advised the city abouthow to regulate personal relationships within the workplace,

including advice involving policies on that topic, and adviceabout the making of employment decisions regardingemployees who have personal relationships with other cityemployees.”

In 1991, he provided legal direction on the city’s sexualharassment policy, “including making revisions to the policyand providing advice about whether, when and how to inves-tigate complaints of sexual harassment.” In 2001 and 2002,he represented Carmel in a matter involving an employeeaccused of treating female employees inappropriately,according to the motion.

Attorneys Richard Bolanos and Suzanne Solomon, whowork for the San Francisco firm of Liebert Cassidy

Whitmore, argue in the motion that if a lawyer’s work for aclient-turned-adversary and the work for his new client aresimilar, “the disclosure of confidential information is pre-sumed, and disqualification is required.” And no one else inhis office should be able to represent Miller, either, becauselawyers in the same firm talk to each other about confiden-tial client matters.

The motion seeks an Oct. 2 court hearing.On Thursday, Stamp said he had received the motion and

is drafting a response, which he plans to file later this month.He told The Pine Cone he has represented city employees forsix years, including in direct negotiations, “and this issue wasnever raised until it came in the mail yesterday.”

THE WARMTHOF WOOD FLOORSFew would argue that

classic solid-wood oak floor-ing provides a warm fin-ished look to any room. Inaddition, maple, walnut,cherry, hickory, and otherhardwoods also make dis-tinctive floors. For an ele-gant, classic look, considerthe installation of a decora-tive border consisting of acontrasting wood striparound the perimeter of theroom. A decorative borderframes the room anddefines its shape. It can bea lavish assembly of inlaidwood or a simple contrast-ing band of wood. For aneven more spectaculareffect, try using decorativewood inlays of woods ofcontrasting colors. Forinstance, an inlaid medal-lion at the center of a woodfloor in a foyer becomes thefocal point of the entry.

Whether wood, vinyl,cork, or carpeting, whenyou are choosing any floordesign, you’ll want the com-bination of quality, design,beauty, comfort, and style.Sound like a tall order? It’snot, really. All it takes is a lit-tle patience and the rightresources to find the onethat finally speaks to youand says, “This is it!” You’llbe congratulating yourselfon your fine decision towork with a professionalfrom CARPETS &FLOORS, INC. when deco-rating your floors.

order.”Doduc’s comments sparked conversation after the meet-

ing, leaving some to wonder if the board has already made upits mind to cut the Peninsula’s water supply.

Bob McKenzie, government affairs director with theMonterey County Hospitality Association, said severely cut-ting back water would devastate the county’s $2 billion hos-pitality industry.

“We can’t withstand the kind of cuts that are proposedwithout having to close [hotel] rooms, close shops and closerestaurants,” McKenzie said.

McKenzie said the hotel occupancy rates from May, Juneand July were down to 64 percent.

“That would be a bad average for the entire year” he said.“And those are supposed to be our best months.”

Under a cease and desist order, the 108 acre-feet of watercredits allocated to Peninsula cities under the jurisdiction ofthe Monterey Peninsula Water Management District wouldnot be available for development, even for lots of record.

Carmel Mayor Sue McCloud said the long term effects ofa cease and desist order — which would be in place until analternative water supply was built — would be another hit tolocal businesses. “To have a third strike against us,”McCloud said, “is obviously something of great concern andwould have a terrible impact on the economy.”

The order could also put a halt to Community Hospital ofthe Monterey Peninsula’s plans to build a Ryan Ranch outpa-tient campus on the 21.5 acres it purchased at the businesspark, Dan Limesand, CHOMP’s director of business devel-opment and contracting, told the board.

Fifth District Monterey County Supervisor Dave Pottertold the board the Peninsula has done a good job of conserv-ing water, bringing down its gallons per person per day froman average of 200 to 70, the lowest in the state.

“To ratchet us down any further than that would walk dan-gerously down health and safety issues,” Potter said.

Potter told the board that even though a water project has-n’t been built to replace what’s being diverted from the

Carmel River, the Monterey Peninsula is getting close. Andhe explained why it’s taken so long.

“It’s not that my [supervisorial] district has done nothing,”he said. “But I have a very contentious district. [My con-stituents] get out of bed everyday to disagree on everything.”

Larry Silver, attorney for the Sierra Club and the CarmelRiver Steelhead Association,urged the board to impose thecease and desist orderbecause low water levels inthe Carmel River from over-pumping have caused recordlow fish counts.

“Cal Am seems to not rec-ognize the declining trendsince 1991,” Silver said.

Even if the cease anddesist order were issued, how-ever, Silver said it might betoo late for the steelhead.

“Even if there were some relief,” he said, “it would prob-ably be too late to create habitat benefits this year.”

Tom Bunosky, vice president of operations for Cal Am,said the water company and its customers have made, andwill continue to make, sacrifices as a result of the Peninsula’swater shortage. Thousands of business and residential watercustomers, for instance, have retrofitted their shower heads,toilets and other systems in order to save water.

Besides being on a two-day-per-week outdoor wateringschedule for more than a decade, customers will soon be sub-ject to steeper rates he said were 10 times the lowest watercosts in the state.

“We are also going spend $3.6 million for more retro-fitting and conservation measures and $7 million to replacepipes,” Bunosky said.

Though Yvonne West, attorney for the State WaterResources Control Board, “applauded” the work Peninsularesidents have done to conserve water, she said there needs tobe consequences for Cal Am’s years of overpumping fromthe Carmel River.

“It is the appropriate role of this board to issue a cease anddesist order,” West said.

THE CITY of Carmel is working on becoming “stormready” — a certification awarded by the National WeatherService — and one crucial factor is the recruitment and train-ing of volunteer “weather spotters.”

While technology picks up on weather conditions andother patterns needed to forecast conditions, it is little help atground level, and that’s where people’s eyes and ears come inhandy, according to Carmel Police Cmdr. Mike Calhoun.Volunteers learn to recognize conditions warranting extracaution and response — such as rapid rainfall — and reportthem to the NWS, which disseminates information andalerts. Volunteers will undergo training in Carmel City HallThursday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. For more information, callwarning coordination meteorologist Tom Evans at (831) 656-1710 ext. 223, lead forecaster Mark Strobin at (831) 656-1724 or Calhoun at (831) 624-6403.

‘We can’t withstand the cuts withoutclosing hotelrooms andshops’


DRY CLEANER SAYS SHOP IS NOW ODORLESS AND GREENBy KELLY NIX

SOME PEOPLE regularly fill up those little hooks intheir car with clothes to be dry cleaned. Others reserve drycleaning for when they need a pressed outfit for a wedding oranother special occasion.

But for most of us, the smell of dry-cleaned clothes isn’tpleasant. And for decades, dry cleaners have also been asource of pollution.

Pacific Grove dry cleaner Jin Jung said clients of his shop,Cypress Cleaners, didn’t like the smell of dry cleaning either,and were concerned about its effects on the environment, so

he decided to do something. In January, Jung converted to asystem he says is odorless and is better for the environment.

“With traditional dry cleaning,” Jung said, “the problem isthe solvent, which goes into the air, water and soil.”

So Jung switched from using a chemical called per-chloroethylene, or perc, which is classified as a “probablecarcinogen” by the Environmental Protection Agency, to acleaning method by GreenEarth that uses liquid silicone.

“It’s non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-allergenic,” Jungsaid.

For years, Jung said he, his family and other workers atthe cleaners suffered from frequent headaches and dizzinessthat they attributed to perc, which some studies have shownto cause vision and neurological problems.

“I felt nauseous and dizzy before with the old system,”Jung said. “I don’t feel dizzy anymore.”

To find a replacement for perc, Jung scoured the Internet.He found several alternatives but ultimately chose theGreenEarth process.

“In just the dry cleaning machine, I spent about $80,000,”he said. “I could have retrofitted the old one, but it wouldn’thave been as good.”

Selecting the new system was half the battle. He also hadto convince his parents, Kyung and Myung, who have been inthe dry cleaning business for decades, that it was worth themoney, especially in a struggling economy.

“They don’t have any idea about this new technology,” hesaid.

Other safer dry cleaning methods include liquid carbondioxide, which Jung found was too expensive for the smallshop, and wet cleaning, a process in which garments arewashed with biodegradable detergents. Jung said he didn’tuse that method because it required too much water. By2023, California wants to ban perc in all dry cleaning storesbecause of the potential environmental hazards associatedwith the toxin.

While Jung is ahead of the game in switching over to anew method, many other mom and pop dry cleaning outfits

are finding it too costly to replace perc.Of the 36,000 dry cleaning businesses in the U.S., about

85 percent of them still use perc as their primary solvent,according to the National Institute for Occupational Safetyand Health. Most of those are small businesses with fewerthan 10 employees.

“The dry cleaning industry is a very hush-hush industrybecause there are so many chemicals involved,” Jung said.

And some so-called green dry cleaning methods are any-thing but green.

For instance, a hydrocarbon method often advertised as“organic,” employs a petroleum-based solvent. While themethod is believed to be safer than perc, it is not environ-mentally friendly.

Though the Environmental Protection Agency has notapproved a specific process or product it deems green —including the silicon-based method Cypress Cleaners uses —Jung said he has all the proof he needs that it’s safer thanperc.

“It’s much better,” he said.While clients used to not care what method was used as

long as their clothes were clean, Jung said his customers havebegun asking questions about the new process, which headvertises in the business.

“They are more concerned now,” Jung said. He said clients have noticed the clothes they pick up no

longer have the traditional smell associated with perc. Thenew system, Jung said, also cleans clothes better.

“They say ‘this is great,’ and ‘the clothing doesn’t smellanymore,’” he said. “And the clothes are brighter.”

That might be because the solvent, Jung said, also adds athin, harmless coating of silicon that repels stains.

“When there is a stain, it’s much easier to get it out whenyou bring it back to us,” he explained.

In addition to changing solvents, Jung also recycles hang-ers, which he says has trimmed costs while reducing waste.

“We also use biodegradable plastic to cover the clothing,”he said.

City manager has contentious past in OxnardBy KELLY NIX

PACIFIC GROVE’S newly chosen city manager wasfired from his previous city administrator post in Oxnard 12years ago for his contentious management style followingcomplaints from former employees who said he created a“culture of fear,” according to reports in the Los AngelesTimes. But two council members defended him and calledthe firing a “political witch hunt,” the Times reported.

After months of searching, the Pacific Grove City CouncilWednesday unanimously approved a three-year contract withTom Frutchey, who is leaving his job as general manager of

Hollister Ranch Owners Association, a private community 30minutes from Santa Barbara.

When Frutchey was hired in 1993 by Oxnard as its citymanager, he initiated sweeping changes that included shuf-fling the chain of command in city hall.

But by 1997, Frutchey was involved in a highly publicizedrow with city leaders, employees and council members, somewho criticized how he treated employees and how he handledthe firing of others, according to numerous articles in TheL.A. Times.

For the people who put those CBS Radiohourly newscasts together in the mid-1970s,upholding the tradition required thorough-ness, accuracy and immediacy — not easythings to achieve under intense time pres-sure. Especially in the middle of the night.

The difficulty wasn’t that these radio edi-tors, writers and anchors weren’t seasonedveterans. One of the editors I assisted,Marian Glick, had famously taken DanRather’s Nov. 22, 1963, telephone call fromDallas, reporting the death of President JohnF. Kennedy almost a half-hour before theWhite House confirmed it or any other newsmedia had it.

Some of the superstar radio announcers Iworked with were Dallas Townsend, CharlesCollingwood, Douglas Edwards and EricSevareid, who could all brag about being for-mer colleagues of Edward R. Murrow him-self. Despite being on top of the world asanchorman of the CBS Evening News,Walter Cronkite still did daily radio com-mentaries. And an up-and-comer on theradio side was Charles Osgood, who notmuch later was the first at CBS News to geta $1-million-a-year salary after RooneArledge tried to lure him to ABC News, and

the bosses at CBS decided they couldn’tafford to let him go.

Among all those news bigshots, I was oneof about a dozen copy boys (also called deskassistants), working eight-hour shifts in a 24-hour-a-day newsroom, whose principle jobwas to tear rolls of copy from teletypemachines relentlessly printing the collected,worldwide output of the Associated Press,United Press International and Reuters, anddeliver them to the waiting typewriters ofpeople who knew what they were doing.

This continuous stream of copy was vital,because at the time, CBS Radio’s hourlynewscasts largely consisted of wire storiesrewritten into punchier, briefer versions suit-able for the radio, supplemented with occa-sional on-scene reports from CBS News cor-respondents, along with telephone inter-views (called “actuality”) done by radio edi-tors at the CBS studios on Manhattan’s W.57th Street (which is where we all worked).

A bulletin comes inI had just started my shift a few minutes

after midnight when the wires machinescame to life with urgent news: “Louisville,Ky., May 29, 1977 (UPI) — Fire broke out ata crowded supper club last night, killingmore than a dozen in the crowd, according tofire officials.”

As soon as I heard the bells announce the

first bulletin, I tore the copy from themachine and delivered it to the editor andanchorman on duty, who read the brief dis-patch and immediately began debating whatto do with it.

“Get the Chicago bureau on the phone,”the senior editor, Harry Poloshjian, told me.

“And call the Louisville affiliate,” sug-gested the overnight anchorman, DougPoling.

I did as I was instructed. But nobodyanswered in the Chicago bureau, and theovernight DJ at WWKY said, “We don’tknow any more than you do.”

I reported these dismal results to my boss-es, who resigned themselves, for the upcom-ing Hourly at least, to rewriting copy fromthe wires, which had at least begun to pro-vide a few more details.

“AP — Bulletin — May 29, 1977,Louisville, Ky., — Fire officials say casual-ties may be as many as 100 in a deadly firein the crowded Beverly Hills supper club inLouisville last night ....”

I delivered the latest copy and went backto my desk, waiting for more copy from theteletype machines and unsure what to donext.

And then I had a thought. What was thephone number of the Beverly Hills SupperClub? Maybe, just maybe, somebody wouldanswer the phone there .... ?

I looked in the phone book for the areacode for Louisville, 502, and then called(502) 555-1212, which was the way you gotlong distance directory assistance in thosedays.

Of course, there was no answer at the dev-astated night club. But then I had anotheridea, which proved to be brilliantly random.I began dialing made-up numbers in thesame area code and exchange, hoping one ofthe numbers would eventually reach some-body who knew about the fire, or at leastlived near the night club.

On just my second scattershot attempt, asleepy voice said, “Hello?”

“I’m very sorry to bother you, sir, but I’mcalling from CBS News in New York. There’sbeen a bad fire at the Beverly Hills SupperClub in Louisville, and I was just wondering... is there an all-night business near the clubyou couldhelp mefind?”

“Bever lyHills clubyou say?” theu n k n o w nman said,perking up,and thenspeaking tos o m e b o d yelse. “Honey, this guy says it’s CBS on thephone, and there’s been a fire, and he’s look-ing for some all-night business near theBeverly Hills place. What’s that? You’re right….”

And then he spoke to me again. “I’ll tellyou what, we went there just the other week,and there’s an all-night gas station right bytheir driveway ... let me get you the number....”

Incredibly, just one more phone call and afew seconds later, I was able to tell HarryPoloshjian to pick up line two, because therewas a man at a gas station available for actu-ality about the fire.

“Oh my God, the flames!” the man’srecorded voice was saying to a nationwideradio audience a few minutes after that. “It’sbad I tell you, the place was crowded, and it’sterrible to see all those cars in the parking lot....”

After the Hourly, when the excitementhad died down a bit, the anchorman came outof the studio and said to the editor, “Where’dthat guy come from?”

And the editor said, “Miller found him.”And the anchorman said, “How the hell

did he do that?”Next week: Slaughtered dolphins and the

importance of Hawaii.

‘It’s terrible to see all thosecars in the parking lot’

ONE OF rock ’n’ roll’s most enduringqualities is its remarkable ability to add newlife to something old.

There is nothing particularly innovativeabout San Francisco’s Stone Foxes, who per-form at Woody’s Bayview Grill in PacificGrove, Saturday, Sept. 5. But the band’scharm lies not in its ability offer audiencessomething they’ve never heard, but in its tal-ent for playing something inspired by musicolder than baby boomers while making itsound fresh and alive.

Like so may bands, the Stone Foxes cametogether not because they wanted to becomefamous, but simply because they loved themusic their parents grew up listening to.From the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, toBob Dylan and The Band, the individualmembers of the Stone Foxes were inspiredby 1960s rock ’n’ roll.

The Band, which got its start backing

Dylan, has a particularly profound effect onthe Stone Foxes. In contrast to many groups,The Band took a communal approach toplaying music, allowing each member tosing lead vocals and showcase his owninstrumental skills. The Stone Foxes followThe Band’s lead, allowing lead guitaristSpence Koehler, rhythm guitarist AaronMort, bass player Avi Vinocur and drummerShannon Koelher an equal opportunity toshare the spotlight.

Perhaps it was appropriate that bandmembers met in a city that served as one ofthe great epicenters of the music they love.

“Spence and I met in the dorms when wewere freshmen at the University of SanFrancisco,” said Mort in an interview thisweek with The Pine Cone. “We met Avi dur-ing our freshman year, and we knew he wasgood, so we snagged him. Shannon isSpence’s brother, and he moved up to SanFrancisco during our junior year.”

Last summer, the band released a bluesy,

self-titled debut recording. Now they’reworking on a followup, which Mort suggest-ed will pack an even mightier punch.

“We’re just finishing up the final touch-es,” he explained.

But Mort conceded that, for any aspiringgroup, the odds of making it big are small.

“We have no expectations,” he said.“We’re just trying to stay humble and havefun with the music. If we become as suc-cessful as the Rolling Stones, that would begreat, but if we don’t, we’re still going tokeep enjoying the music and stay on the rideas long as possible.”

The show starts at 9 p.m., and there is nocover charge. Woody’s is located at 125Ocean View Blvd., in the American TinCannery. For more information, call (831)649-6800.

■ Rockin’ the weekendWith the busy summer season reaching a

NOT EVERYONE believes in the power of psychics, butthat hasn’t stopped hundreds of communities across thecountry from staging well-attended psychic fairs in recentdecades. Yet Big Sur — which famously attracts a steadystream of unconventional free-thinkers — has never hosted apsychic fair — at least until now.

Starting Friday, Sept. 4, Soul River Studios presents athree-day event that is being billed as Big Sur’s first-everpsychic fair.

“We wanted to do something different and broaden peo-ple’s horizons,” explained Adonna Simone, one of the orga-

nizers of the event. “I’m surprised we haven’t had a psychicfair here before.”

The fair will provide a showcase for seers, healers andchannelers and give the public an opportunity to learn moreabout tarot card readings, palm readings, Kaballistic read-ings, numerology and astrology.

For locals attending the fair, the most recognizable faceamong the practitioners will likely be that of Sofanya White.A longtime Big Sur resident and former art gallery owner,White creates “essence portraits” of her clients, using her art-work, in her words, “as an oracle.” Over the years, she hascreated thousands of such portraits.

“By approaching art as a sacred portal, you can receive

guidance and inspiration,” White said. “When I do someone’sportrait, all this information comes through. It’s not abouttelling the future — it’s about accessing the essence of whoyou are. An ‘essence portrait’ can help you gain a betterunderstanding of who you are.”

For Judyth Greenburgh, who owns Soul River Studios, itmakes perfect sence to stage a psychic festival in Big Sur

“People are becoming more awake to alternative reme-dies,” Greenburgh suggested. “This is a good time to do this.”

The psychic fair starts Friday, Sept. 4, at 6:30 p.m. when“conduits” Tuaca Kelly and Terry Yoder present “A Nightwith Spirit,” a lively event that should prove to be a goodintroduction to the psychic world. Admission to the event is$10. On Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., SoulRiver Studios will feature the actual “fair.” Admission is freeSaturday and Sunday, while practitioners typically chargeanywhere from $5 to $50 for a session.

Soul River Studios is located in the Village Shops, next tothe Big Sur River Inn. The venue is about 24 miles south ofCarmel. For more information, call (831) 667-2559.

Dinner with friends tohelp food bank

Party marks release of latest Big Sur art and lit journal

By KELLY NIX

WHEN ARTISTS and writers submit work to theHenry Miller Library journal Ping•Pong, they oftenoffer their most daring pieces, according to the maga-zine’s editor in chief.

That’s because the vanguard art and literary journal— its third issue released this month — has a reputationfor pushing the envelope of contemporary art.

“We often get pieces from writers and artists that arenot representative of their style,” explained MariaTeutsch. “Somehow Ping•Pong gives them a kind ofpermission not tocensor them-selves.”

On Sept. 19, thelibrary will releasethe 2009 Ping•Pongedition with arelease party atHenry MillerLibrary in Big Sur.The party, which isopen to the public,will feature a wineand cheese recep-tion, poetry read-ings and, yes, pingpong — the game.

“We will havean actual tourna-ment from 3 to 5p.m.,” Teutsch said.“People are seriousabout playing ping pong at the event.”

But the focus of Ping•Pong, which returned in 2007after a 10-year hiatus, will be on literature and art.

The 116-page journal — a mix of art, photographs,stories and poems — features artists who, if Miller werealive, would be his peers and contemporaries.

“We try to maintain the ideals of Henry Millerthrough a contemporary lens,” Teutsch told The PineCone.

Miller, best known for his 1934 novel, “Tropic ofCancer,” was Big Sur’s most acclaimed writer when helived there from the 1940s to the 1960s.

This year’s Ping•Pong includes a collection fromIraq, Ireland, the Congo and Japan. American writersinclude Tony Tost, Matt Hart, Kim Chinquee, JasonMorris, Erica Wright, Kate Greenstreet, performanceartist/poet, Cheryl Burke and other luminaries.

The Sept. 19 launch party will feature poets KimAddonizio from Oakland and Alan Jude Moore fromDublin, Ireland. Addonizio has written four poetry col-lections, including “Tell Me,” a National Book Awardfinalist. Addonizio’s fifth collection, “Lucifer at theStarlite,” will be published in October.

“She has yet to receive a Pulitzer, but I have no doubtshe will,” Teutsch said.

Award-winning Moore has written two collections ofpoetry, “Black State Cars” and “Lost Republics,” and isset to release his third, “Strasbourg,” in 2010.

“Alan is coming in from Ireland for the event, whichis wonderful,” she said. “He is an amazing poet.”

A new exhibit at the Carmel Art Association showcases the art-work of William F. Stone, who died two weeks ago.

By CHRIS COUNTS

‘ABSTRACT AT 80: Past & Present,” by William F.Stone, Jr., is one of six exhibits opening Saturday Sept. 5, atThe Carmel Art Association.

Stone, member of the art association for 37 years whoearned a reputation as a tireless volunteer, passed away justtwo weeks ago. He would have turned 80 this month, andhelped plan his own exhibit before he died.

In addition to his reputation as a gifted painter, Stoneserved five times as the president of the art association. Healso served on the board of directors for the MontereyMuseum of Art.

Perhaps more than anything, though, he will be remem-bered for his work as the head of Carmel High School’s art

department. He retired from teaching in 1985.Also opening at the art association will be shows by

painters Pamela Carroll, Alicia Meheen, Miguel Dominguezand Pamela Takigawa and sculptor Michael St. Mary.

The art association, which will host a reception from 6 to8 p.m., is located on the west side of Dolores, between Fourthand Fifth. For more information, call (831) 624-6176 or visitwww.carmelart.org.

■ The not-so-wild sidePERCHED ALONG the edges of dramatic vistas — and

often braving an unforgiving combination of wind and fog —plein aire painters seem utterly fascinated by the MontereyPeninsula’s natural beauty.

But this week, the Monterey Bay Plein Aire PaintersAssociation — which represents nearly 80 artists from SanFrancisco to Big Sur — reveals another side of its memberswhen “Our Home Town,” a new group exhibit of paintingsfocusing on Pacific Grove’s historic homes and buildings,opens Friday, Sept. 4, at the Pacific Grove Art Center.

The idea for the show came from one of the group’s mem-bers, Sybil Johnson.

“I was at a plein aire festival in Alameda and they did ashow like this,” explained Johnson, who lives in Carmel.“Because Pacific Grove has so many wonderful Victoriansand beach cottages with character, I brought the idea to ourboard of directors, and they loved it.”

While most local plein aire painters prefer capturingseascapes or landscapes, Pacific Grove artist Joe Ouye, whowill participate in the show, favors depicting street scenes.

“I call them streetscapes,” Ouye said. “I think the houseshere are very special. It’s rare to find an ensemble of homeslike this.”

The plein aire association planned the exhibit for 2010,but an opportunity to present the show at the same time as the40th anniversary of the Pacific Grove Historical Home Tourwas just too good to pass up.

“It’s been kind of a rush to put the show together, but it’sup and it looks great,” Johnson added.

The plein aire show features work by 24 artists, includingChristine Crozier, Robert Lewis, Jeff Daniel Smith, RolfLygren and Andy Williams. The art center, which will host areception from 7 to 9 p.m., is located at 568 Lighthouse Ave.

Chef Armando Castellanos has only been working at TillieGort’s Cafe in Pacific Grove for 20 years.

Merlot ChampagneCabernet Sauvignon DinnerFood Wine&It’s not all tofu and soy at Tillie Gort’s

BY MARGOT PETIT NICHOLS

ALTHOUGH HE’S not a vegetarian, he’s an accom-plished chef cooking daily for a clientele made up primarilyof vegetarians and vegans. But he prepares dishes for his car-nivorous diners, too, at Tillie Gort’s Café in Pacific Grove.

The restaurant has been in the same location on CentralAvenue in Pacific Grove since 1969.

But Chef Armando Castellanos has only been there 20years.

Castellanos left Oaxaca, Mexico, when he was 16 to trav-el north to live with his mother, a resident of Seaside. He did-n’t speak English at the time but managed to get a job asdishwasher at Tillie Gort’s.

It became clear to him he had to learn English to get aheadin his adopted country, so he quit his job to enroll in

M o n t e r e yH i g hS c h o o l ’ sEnglish as asecond lan-guage pro-gram. There

were 20 students in that class, and Castellano worked hard. Ittook him a year of concentrated study to learn English. Hewas then integrated into regular classes at MHS but contin-ued advanced ESL at the same time.

He resumed his job at Tillie Gort’s as a dishwasher, and itwasn’t long before he was promoted to prep cook and muchlater to line cook. His dream was coming true. After moreyears passed, he was made head chef.

All this happened when Margot Tegmeier was owner ofTillie Gort’s. Eight years ago, Carmen Nazar, who was aserver at Tillie’s, bought the restaurant with her husband,Ranieri Gimaraes. This change of ownership gaveCastellanos two new bosses — both of whom are fromBrazil.

Along the way, Castellanos fell in love with the culinaryarts. “I really enjoy cooking,” he said, “I learned at an earlyage. And I like to please my customers. I know a lot of theregulars, what they want and how to cook it the way theylike.”

Castellanos works well with Nazar and Gimaraes, andtakes great pleasure in cooking breakfast on Saturday andSunday, which are the two busiest workdays at Tillie’s.

Chef Castellanos points with pride at the extensive break-fast menu, including many vegetarian and vegan dishes notusually found in Peninsula restaurants. But he points out theyalso have dishes with bacon, turkey, chicken and even ham-burgers for lunch or dinner.

“About 95 percent of our customers are vegetarians orvegans,” he said.

But it’s not all tofu and soy at Tillie Gort’s, although thebreakfast menu has a section headed “Yummy Tofu.” Whilehe prepares veggie Benedicts, of two poached eggs on agrilled English muffin with avocado, tomato, mushroom andhomemade Hollandaise sauce, he also serves traditionalBenedicts with Canadian bacon.

His own particular breakfast favorite is cinnamon raisinFrench toast made with thick slices of rich cinnamon breadand served with syrup and pecan butter.

‘It’s really colorful’Castellanos starts his day at the restaurant at 9 or 10 a.m.,

with his first order of business being to prepare the vegetari-an soup of the day, various sauces, polenta and a vegetarianlasagna with fresh spinach, ricotta, mozzarella and his house-made organic marinara sauce. He and Gimaraes also makethe dessert pies, cakes and flans, some according to veganrequirements.

Castellanos and Gimaraes are aided in the kitchen by aline cook. “We like to work together,” he said.

His favorite dish to prepare is the Mexican Fiesta saladwith lettuce, veggie burger bits, black beans, cheese, toma-toes, olives and tortilla chips. It’s served with salsa, sourcream and avocado. “I make it look really nice,” he said. “Ilike to watch my customers’ reaction to the salad. It’s reallycolorful.”

At home in Seaside, Castellanos enjoys his one weeklyday off with wife, Erika, and their two sons, Armando, 10,and Pedro, 7. Both boys attend Highland Elementary, wherethey are learning to be bilingual.

After school, young Armando plays soccer with theSeaside Football Club that was started by fathers who prefertheir children to be active in sports, rather than watching tele-vision or playing video games. Pedro accompanies his dad toSFC games to support his big brother.

Chef Castellanos loves to read, especially novels byacclaimed South American novelist Isabel Allende. “It’s myfavorite pastime,” he said. “I read because I love it, and Iwant my children to love it.”

Tillie Gort’s Cafe is located at 111 Central Ave. in PacificGrove, and can be reached by calling (831) 373-0335.

The restaurant opens every day at 9 a.m. and closes at9:30 p.m. daily except Fridays and Saturdays, when it closesat 10.

Walking with chefs, playing pink poker and harvesting hopeBy MARY BROWNFIELD

ANYONE AT a loss when it comes to what to pick up atfarmers’ markets and how to cook it should consider embark-

Road fields to harvest produce at its peak and talk aboutorganic farming. Meanwhile, the chef discusses his favoriteingredients and how to use them to greatest effect in thekitchen.

The farm stand hosts weekend events from June throughDecember, including Bug Walks, Flower Walks, HarvestWalks and seasonal celebrations. The Chef Walks occur sev-eral times a year and only two more will be held in 2009:Chef Jeff Rogers of nearby Quail Lodge will lead the Sept.26 walk, and Bernardus Lodge executive chef Cal Stamenovwill be the guide on Halloween.

On Aug. 22, Mundaka restaurant’s executive chef,Brandon Miller, accompanied Marino as guests troopedthrough the herb garden to collect aromatic sprigs and thenheaded into the fields to gather squash, squash blossoms, let-tuce, spinach, onions, greens and other produce, as well ascolorful bunches of snapdragons. All the while, Marinoquizzed participants and gave away prizes, and Miller sharedcooking tips.

The second hour featured an al fresco demonstration inwhich Miller prepared zucchini salad with almonds, andbeer-battered squash blossoms with lemon verbena caramel.Attendees were invited to ask questions and sample the dish-es afterward.

Chef Walks run 10 a.m. to noon and cost $25 for adultsand $5 for kids 12 and under. For more information on thewalks and other events at the farm stand — including the

surgery.“This was a very close call for him,”

Rawson concluded.“I don’t remember much about it,” the

retired physician commented as he came for-ward to greet his lifesavers.

“It was a tremendous effort by police, fireand EMS,” Rawson said.

Following the applause for O’Neill, hiswife and his rescuers — including Capt. IanWatts, engineer Kenny Hutchinson, para-

medic David Jedinak, EMT Spencer Reade,and firefighters Graham Evans and DavidMeurer — councilman Gerard Rose took theopportunity to praise CRFA.

“We had a patient with no vital signs. Ifthe response to the 911 call had been whatthe county allows, a rate of 9 to 12 minutes,I’m afraid Dr. O’Neill would not be heretonight,” he said, joking that the ambulance“was a little slow,” in its arrival at theO’Neills’ home two minutes after the 911call.

“And for the first time ever, CRFA’s aver-age response time last month was two min-utes,” Rose added.

James Paul MonroeJune 8, 1955 — August 18, 2009

Following a brief illness,Jim, age 54, passed awaypeacefully in his sleep at hishome in Westminster,Colorado.

Born and raised inCarmel, Jim was loyal, warmand gregarious by nature.With his wonderful sense ofhumor, he was often the bois-terous center of countlesssocial occasions.

Jim loved animals. Overthe years, he gave many dogs

and cats a caring, affectionate home. He felt a deep connectionto the ocean and reveled in time spent at the family beach housein Puako, Hawaii. A natural athlete and sportsman, Jim's pas-sions included swimming, boating, fishing, scuba diving, spearfishing and tennis.

Jim graduated from Carmel High School in 1973 and, later,from Monterey Peninsula College and Chico State University.For most of his career, he worked successfully as a top salesmanin the auto industry.

To the large circle of family and friends who knew and lovedJim, he will always be remembered simply as Jimmy, a goodand kind-hearted man.

He was preceded in death by his parents Bill & Harriet “H”Monroe. He is survived by his brother Richard Monroe ofCarmel Valley, niece Katie Monroe, sister Alexia “Deborah”Monroe of Prescott Arizona, stepmother Joanne Monroe ofCarmel Valley, step-siblings Debbie Hoag Edwards, Dan, Brianand Mathew Hoag, all of the Monterey Peninsula, and goodfriend Glen Blanchar. He has numerous uncles, aunts andcousins throughout California and Hawaii.

Jim was an organ donor. Recently, it was learned that hisretinas were used to help a young girl regain her sight. We areproud to note that, despite his untimely passing, Jimmy's gen-erous spirit lives on.

There will be Celebration of Life on Sunday, Sept. 27th at1:30PM at the C.V. Community Center on Ford Road. If youplan to attend, please email or call Rick Monroe so we can esti-mate numbers: [email protected] or 659 2311.

wisdom of Greg Mortenson, author of “Three Cups of Tea”and founder of the Central Asia Institute. Mortenson builtschools for children in Pakistan and received that country’shighest civil award, the Sitara-e-Pakistan, “for his courageand humanitarian effort to promote education and literacy inrural areas for the last 15 years.”

“Greg Mortenson is going to speak to the adults, but we’remostly bringing him back for Students Day,” McGillen said,adding that teachers at participating schools are decidingwhich students will attend his talks, as well as which willintroduce authors at their lectures and smaller “breakout ses-sions” throughout the weekend. In addition, many will haveread his book, since schools included it on their summerreading lists.

Hottest book, funniest half hourThe Carmel Authors & Ideas Fest will have nearly three

dozen speakers holding lectures and smaller talks. The week-end kicks off with registration and a reception — which willbe headlined by novelist and journalist Carl Hiaasen —Friday night.

McGillen recalled one of Hiaasen’s talks as “the funniesthalf hour I’ve ever heard” and said he’s so good, he unseatedpolitical satirist P.J. O’Rourke as the Friday-night headliner.Hiaasen is widely published as a journalist and fiction writer,and has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize three times.

O’Rourke, described by McGillen as “today’s version ofMark Twain,” will appear Saturday. Labeled by Time maga-zine and The Wall Street Journal as “the funniest writer inAmerica,” O’Rourke wrote for National Lampoon until con-cluding in the 1980s “that the real world was funnier thananything National Lampoon’s writers could create.” Hebecame a foreign correspondent, traveling to more than 70countries to report on their crises, conflicts and victories. Hehas also written a dozen books.

In a particular triumph, McGillen lined up Dr. AbrahamVerghese before he became the latest hot author. His thirdbook, “Cutting for Stone,” caught fire through word of mouth

and book clubs, much as Khaled Hosseini’s “Kite Runner”did, according to McGillen. A physician who specialized inAIDS treatment, Verghase attended the Iowa WritersWorkshop in 1990 while on sabbatical. Widely published, heis now senior associate chair and professor of the theory andpractice of medicine at Stanford University.

A beefed-up rosterMcGillen says he is thrilled with this year’s festival roster.“The first two years, we had a nice event and it went very

well, and out of 35 speakers, most of them were good, butthere were a couple that weren’t home runs,” McGillen said.“This year, they’re all home runs.”

The weekend will also include:■ Elizabeth Gilbert, journalist and author of NYT Best

Seller “Eat, Pray, Love;”■ Pulitzer Prize winner David Kennedy, “noted for his

integration of economic and cultural analysis with social andpolitical history;”

■ internationally recognized religion writer and scholarDr. Reza Aslan;

■ Emmy winner (and Pebble Beach resident) ShelbySteele, who wrote “The Content of Our Character: A NewVision of Race in America;” and

■ Richard Lederer, author of more than 30 books aboutlanguage, history and humor, and who was named the inter-national Punster of the Year and won ToastmastersInternational’s Golden Gavel.

“The biggest problem I’ve had is trying to give so manygreat speakers enough time to perform,” McGillen said,adding that the festival seems to have engendered plenty ofloyalty. “Virtually every author we’ve had has asked to comeback.”

He also said that this year’s bookstore will be bigger andbetter, with enough registers and clerks to assure the longlines of guests waiting to purchase books will be a thing ofthe past.

The Carmel Authors & Ideas Festival will be held Sept.25-27 at Sunset Center. For more information and tickets,visit www.carmelauthors.com.

“For me, it was the only place to be.”

This was not a difficult choice. I'm delighted

with my life at Carmel Valley Manor. The

location is superb; I've loved the Valley since

the first time I saw it. My apartment and patio

are just right. It felt wonderful to let go of

excess furnishings and decorative objects.

Community life offers many enjoyable

options. I frequently visit friends in the

Manor's wonderful care centers and it's good

to know those are available should I ever

need them.

My advice? Plan ahead; don't wait too

long to get on the waiting list.

Chamber of Commerce.Before moving to Oxnard, Frutchey was

city manager of Campbell for just 11 monthsbefore resigning in 1992, The Times said.

When Frutchey’s contract was notrenewed, the three council members whocast votes against Frutchey said they did notsupport the way some employees had beentreated and the way he handled the firing ofcertain employees, The Times reported.

Meanwhile, according to a press releaseissued Wednesday by the City of PacificGrove, Frutchey “brings extensive experi-ence in city management and the private sec-tor.” Frutchey “overhauled and restored theintegrity of Hollister Ranch” when workingfor the private coastal community, the pressrelease said.

When Frutchey begins working forPacific Grove Oct. 5, he’ll make about$175,000, which will make him likely thehighest paid city manager P.G. has ever had.

Fact or fiction: new town wouldn’t be able to fix its roads

By CHRIS COUNTS

INCORPORATION OPPONENT andCarmel Valley attorney Frank Lunding —repeating a charge that has been made onnumerous occasions by himself and others —told the Monterey County Board ofSupervisors this week the proposed Town ofCarmel Valley wouldn’t be able to afford tomaintain the roads it would inherit from thecounty if voters approve incorporation Nov. 3.

To back up their claim, Lunding and otheropponents point to a talk Monterey Countypublic works director Lew Bauman gave toCarmel Valley Rotary Club members in2002. Bauman, now Monterey Countyadministrative officer, spoke about publicworks infrastructure in the state, the countyand more specifically, in Carmel Valley.

“The original road system was never real-ly designed for the uses it has seen todaywithin the incorporation area,” Baumanexplained. “We figure about 35 to 40 milesof that area do not meet current developmen-tal standards and would need to be engi-neered. If we were to do that within theincorporation area, that would cost about$100 million to $150 million.”

Bauman went on to say an additional $40million to $60 million would be needed for

“pavement rehabilitation and replacementcosts” and an additional $3 million a year toreplace “failed road systems.”

Speaking out against incorporation, BobSinotte argues the new town’s roads wouldquickly deplete its coffers.

“Roads are the backbone of a city,”Sinotte said. “They can break the back of acity as well.”

Sinotte believes the county will be glad torid itself of the burden of fixing CarmelValley’s roads.

“It’s no wonder the county wants to dumpthis on us,” he said.

If incorporation were to succeed, theresponsibility of fixing Carmel Valley’sroads would be assumed by 4,500 homeown-ers, Sinotte said.

“I’d rather see that cost of that dispersedover the whole county,” he added.

Short of cash, Sinotte believes the townwould be forced to approve new develop-ment to increase revenue.

“The new city will be poised for growth,”he said.

Scare tactics?Incorporation advocate Glenn Robinson

charged Sinotte and others with using “scaretactics.” He said the new town plans to spend

more money on its roads than the county cur-rently does.

“The county spends about $500,000 peryear on Carmel Valley roads,” Robinsonsaid. “The town is projected to spend around$700,000.”

If the incorporation vote fails, would iteven be possible for the county to spend

$150 million on Carmel Valley roads?“The public works budget is about $10

million a year, so claiming [the county] isimagining spending $150 million on CarmelValley roads is ludicrous,” Robinson coun-tered. “Is the county is going to spend 15years worth of its public works budget forthe whole county on Carmel Valley?

Editorial

Flanders sale irreversible? Hardly ...

OPPONENTS OF the sale of Flanders Mansion are misrepresenting a lot of

things about the old place. They claim the home and the 1.25-acre parcel it sits

on are the “heart” of Mission Trail park, whereas the mansion is actually in a lit-

tle-used, hard-to-reach part of the park, well out of sight (and practically out of

reach) of hikers on the paths below (which is where 95 percent of park users can

be found).

It’s also not true, as Flanders sale opponents claim, that “several groups have

offered to lease, restore and maintain it at no expense to the city.” If these peo-

ple exist, where are they? We’d sure like to interview them for our front page.

But the biggest whopper of them all in the anti-Flanders-sale campaign is the

idea that (as the Flanders Foundation’s ballot argument claims), “a sale is irre-

versible” and will be “forever.”

Continuing on this point, the anti-sale group claims that, once the mansion

had been sold to a private buyer, “No matter how deeply we came to regret the

mistake, it would be too late.”

Let’s see ... where to begin with this laughably untrue argument?

First of all, there has never been a piece of private property, no matter how

devoted its owners, that didn’t eventually come on the market. People who own

homes change their priorities, run into financial difficulties, or get tired of tak-

ing care of a place they used to love. Invariably, they get old and die. And even

if they pass the property on to their descendants, the next generation’s ownership

is no more permanent than the old folks’ was.

Cities, on the other hand, hardly ever go away. So if Flanders is sold to a pri-

vate buyer, and then the people decide they want it back, all they have to do is

wait awhile and make an offer.

If that seemed to be taking too long, the city could always step up to the plate

and make an unsolicited offer to buy Flanders Mansion back.

And if that didn’t work, there’s a little thing called eminent domain, which

gives the City of Carmel the power to take any piece of private property it needs

for a valid public purpose. All it has to do is pay the owner a fair price and send

the sheriff to kick him out.

And that’s where the anti-Flanders sale argument really falls apart. Because

what the group that opposes the sale is really saying is that, once the mansion is

sold to a private buyer, the citizens of Carmel will probably never want to buy it

back. And why not? Because they’ll surely recognize, as the citizenry does

today, that this old house, right at the edge of the city and in the middle of a res-

idential neighborhood, is simply not a suitable public facility.

For decades, a use for Flanders Mansion has been sought by council after

council. And every good idea has been shot down for the same reason: Opening

Flanders Mansion to the public — whether as an art gallery, culinary institute,

or whatever — simply won’t pass muster because it would cause too much dis-

ruption to the quiet neighborhood along Hatton Road.

Pretend for a moment that Flanders Mansion and its 1-acre lot were private

property today. Would the city consider, even for a fleeting moment, buying it?

Of course not.

And that, as much as anything else, is why it should be sold.

Vote Aye on Measure “I”Dear Editor,

As a homeowner near the FlandersMansion, I urge a Yes vote on Measure I.

Primary access to the mansion is via asmall driveway off Hatton Road. Hatton can-not safely support an increase in traffic.Even at current traffic levels, Hatton can bedangerous, especially for pedestrians. It isbumpy, narrow, and cars frequently travel atfaster than 25 miles per hour. There are nosafe places for pedestrians to walk.

I support a private sale of the FlandersMansion for many reasons, one of which issafety. If the mansion is not sold andbecomes some kind of public institution,increased traffic and pedestrians will be atrisk. The City of Carmel could become eco-nomically responsible for future accidents.

I believe that it is in the best interests ofCarmel to sell the Flanders Mansion with aYes vote on Measure I.

Patricia Sandoval, Carmel

‘A lovely private home’Dear Editor,

Several weeks ago an observant residentliving on the west side of the Mission Trailwas alerted by a barking dog to a dull redglow across the canyon near FlandersMansion. Fortunately, he called 911, and

when the fire department arrived at thescene, they found a stump alight and fireslowly spreading in the brush. Yes, it wasextinguished by our firemen, but, what if hadnot been seen?

In recent days a brass doorknocker waswrenched from its moorings on the door ofthe Flanders house after having been in placefor more than 70 years.

By not selling the house, the communityrisks a possible devastating fire or continu-ing acts of vandalism. New residents wouldnot only restore the home, but would overseethe property. It could then return to its pri-mary purpose — a lovely home in a wel-coming residential neighborhoon.

Suzanne Lehr, Carmel

that the group will telephone and mail lettersto voters in hopes of convincing them to rallyagainst the ballot measure.

The Flanders Foundation sent out a post-card depicting an aerial shot of the park witha portion of it blocked out and labeled “forsale.” The card encourages voters to famil-iarize themselves with the property, includ-ing participating in the walks and lecturesAug. 29, Sept. 12 and Sept. 26. The founda-tion is the main force behind the oppositionand has twice sued the city over the matter.(It won the first lawsuit, which demanded anelection; the second was filed in June anddiscounts the idea that the election will settlethe matter.)

“We’re hoping to get people to come up toFlanders Mansion and look at what is goingto be purportedly sold, and see what theywould be losing,” Bell said.

“I know we have good support from thepeople who believe in what we do,” she said.And though the committee hasn’t receivedany donations, she said the call for contribu-tions will be issued shortly.

Although the council members and mayorcannot campaign for the passage of MeasureI as a group representing the city, and are notallowed to use any city money or resourcesin disseminating that view, McCloud saidthey can do so on their own.

“As individuals we can speak, and that’sup to each person to decide what he or she isgoing to do,” McCloud said.

back on property tax rolls and end thesecosts.”

Proponents say the easements and strictrequirements on the 85-year-old mansion’suse and upkeep, including that it be restoredand no fences or walls surround it, will pro-tect it and the surrounding Mission TrailNature Preserve.

Opponents formed the Committee toOppose Measure I and Save Mission TrailPark. In its ballot arguments, the group saysthe sale would needlessly and permanentlydivest taxpayers of a valuable, historic prop-erty and ruin the park surrounding it.

“Measure I is a plan to remove the heartof Mission Trail Park and put it up for sale:gone forever, in exchange for a short-termgain the city does not even need,” the state-ment says. Opponents point to the city’s mil-lions of dollars in reserves as evidencethere’s no need to sell the mansion. “We cankeep the property at no cost. Several groupsand individuals have offered to lease, restoreand maintain it at no expense to the city.”

The group’s arguments make no specificmention of Flanders Mansion, instead focus-ing on the 32-acre park, trails and views.

“Let there be no confusion, a sale wouldeliminate a critical part of Mission Trail parkforever. We would lose trails, views andambiance. Open spacewould be replaced by wallsand fences,” Measure Iopponents’ statement says.

The mayor and councilcounter: “The argumentagainst this measure wouldhave one believe MissionTrail Park is being sold; notso. The Flanders house isapproached by a drivewayoff Hatton Road. It sits on abluff 150 feet (height of a15-story building) above themain part of the park.”

They also point to theestimated $1,750,000 to$2,250,000 needed to restorethe home and indicate, “Thecity has received no accept-able, concrete proposalsfrom groups or individuals.”

Furthermore, “moneytied up in this house and lotcould serve a larger numberof people by undertakingimprovements of the city’sinfrastructure (which is morethan 100 years old),” theargument concludes.

Stephen Brooks, BelindaHolliday, John Hicks,Melanie Billig, JamesEmery, Margaret Young,Margery Adams, GregD’Ambrosio, Roberta Millerand Anne Bell signed theargument and rebuttalagainst Measure I.

Mayor Sue McCloud andcity council members PaulaHazdovac, Ken Talmage,Gerard Rose and KarenSharp signed those in favor.

At the post officeThis week, Bell, chair of

the Committee to OpposeMeasure I, said the cam-paign is in its infancy butwill be coming togethersoon.

“We’re going to try toconnect with the residents,and we’re just getting startedon that,” she said, adding

BEST FRIENDS Riley Lewis and Cody Dull go for walksin Mission Trail Park and on runs on Carmel Beach when-ever their moms can take them. In fact, Riley’s mom, Diane,and Cody’s mom, Dawn, met when they were taking theirdogs on outings on Mission Trail. They became goodfriends and eventually became co-owners of HappyLanding Inn on Monte Verde Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

While Mom Dawn’s on duty at the front desk, Cody, an8-year-old Samoyed, works as a greeter at the inn, wel-coming new guests and waving goodbye to departingones. Cody is Mom Dawn’s fourth Samoyed; he came to

live with her when he was 3 months old.Cody’s beautiful, thick coat is as white as snow, his

smile endearing, and his frequent dulcet-toned conversa-tion a joy to hear — although impossible to translate.

Just to prove Cody’s no goody two shoes, he’s beenknown to chew up bamboo knitting needles, plastic eyeglasses and the handles of hairbrushes. Cody’s brother isChance, a 4-year-old grey tabby cat who sleeps with himon the floor next to Mom’s bed.

Riley, almost 13, is a very handsome shepherd/chowmix Mom Diane discovered in a Santa Ana SPCA. She wentto five Southern California shelters before finding Riley,who was then 5 months old. He’s easy going and smart,sleeps next to Mom’s bed and loves fruit — especiallybananas — but won’t touch vegetables. He lets Mom knowwhen the phone’s ringing while she’s vacuuming.

Cody and Riley are pleased their Happy Landing Inn ispet friendly and point out the inn’s seven rooms openonto the garden.
