COASTAL COMMISSION CRITICIZED FOR

HANDS-OFF APPROACH TO MOGUL’S WEDDING

n Big fine levied, but work wasn’t halted

By KELLY NIX

THE FAMOUSLY strict California Coastal Commissionis getting a flood of criticism after allowing Internet tycoonSean Parker’s $10 million wedding to proceed in Big Surlast weekend.

Parker, 34, married Alexandra Lenas June 1 in an elab-orate ceremony at the Ventana Inn campgrounds in BigSur. The set for the wedding — which took three monthsto build — featured stone ruins, waterfalls, bridges andcastle walls. But Parker and Ventana Inn never obtainedpermits for the construction.

And while coastal commission staff members were

aware of the wedding and its elaborate preparations a monthbefore it happened, they didn’t red tag it. And two days afterthe ceremony, the commission issued a glossy press releaseannouncing it reached a “settlement” with Parker for $2.5

Photos released by the California Coastal Commission show partof the Ventana campground before (above right) and after (right)elaborate construction work took place over a period of severalmonths for the wedding of Sean Parker and Alexandra Lenas. Anartificial pond and rustic stone bridge (above) were among thefeatures built — all without permits.

THE DANGER of flooding to homes and business-es along the north side of the Carmel River, and of aneconomic disaster for the entire Monterey Peninsulafrom the looming state-imposed water cutback, will bealleviated by a project spearheaded by the Big Sur LandTrust which hinges on a major donation from formerCarmel Mayor Clint Eastwood.

Eastwood said this week he’ll give more than 80acres of the old Odello artichoke fields on the east sideof Highway 1 to the Big Sur Land Trust so they can beused to channel flood waters safely to the PacificOcean. And a big portion of the potable water that’sbeen historically used on the property for agriculturewill be made available to Cal Am and private propertyowners in Carmel and Carmel Valley, Eastwood said.

“I’ve lived here full-time since the 1960s, and Ialways enjoyed looking at the fields and the open spaceon this property, and I just want to keep it the same,”Eastwood told The Pine Cone during a tour of the prop-

erty Tuesday. At one time approved for more than 80 houses, the

highly scenic land lies between Palo Corona Ranch andthe Carmel River. In 1995, Eastwood and his formerwife, Maggie, bought it from the Odello family, whichhad farmed the land for years and obtained develop-ment approvals from Monterey County in the 1960s.Two years later, the Eastwoods donated about 50 acreswhere the subdivision had been approved to the landtrust. And now, Eastwood wants to give it the rest.

“I bought it to keep the houses from being built,”Eastwood said. “And now the goal is to give the rest tothe Big Sur Land Trust, and they’ll keep it out of devel-opment.”

More than 190 acre-feet of water has been usedevery year on the land for grazing and row crops, headded. Of that, 60 will stay on the property so the BSLTcan keep some of the land either in farming or grazing.Another 45 acre-feet will be no longer be pumped, so it

Venture capitalist buys Butterfly House for $16.5MBy CHRIS COUNTS

ONE OF Carmel’s most recognizable homes — namedthe “Butterfly House” for its distinctive curved roof — soldlast week to venture capitalist Kevin Comolli for $16.5 mil-lion.

Located at 26320 Scenic Road, the three-bedroom, four-bath residence was designed and built in the early 1950s byarchitect Frank Wynkoop.

Perched on a rocky outcropping overlooking Point Lobosand Carmel Bay, the 3,041-square-foot home had been listedfor $19.2 million by Carmel Realty, which described it as“one of only five true oceanfront properties in Carmel.”

The construction of the house, which was completed in

1952, caused quite a stir. Some believed it would fall into theocean. Acquiring the steel columns and beams it needed dur-ing the Korean War also proved to be a challenge. Wynkoopeventually received a letter from President Dwight D.Eisenhower permitting him to use the steel. But he onlyowned his dream home for a brief time before money woesforced him to sell it.

Steven Kahn and his family owned it for more than half acentury before Joe Walter bought the house in 2008. BeforeWalter purchased it for $9.3 million, then Vice PresidentDick Cheney was rumored to be its buyer.

Walter hired Wynkoop’s sons, Thor and Jay, to renovate

Neighbors sound off onCarmel Valley dog park,LUAC chair wants EIR

By CHRIS COUNTS

IF THE sentiment expressed at a June 3 hearing at St.Philip’s Church was any indication, the path to opening anambitious dog-training business in Carmel Valley will be adifficult one for its owners.

More than 150 people packed the church. Not only weremany residents vocal in their opposition to the proposedCarmel Canine Sports Center, but Carmel Valley Land UseAdvisory Committee chair Jan Brennan suggested an envi-ronmental impact report be done to examine its impacts. Thepricey study has doomed or indefinitely delayed many ven-tures.

The LUAC opted not to vote on whether to recommendapproval or denial of the project. Instead, it continued thehearing to a later date.

Great idea, wrong neighborhood?Monterey County planning commissioner Martha Diehl

and two partners — her husband, Ken Ecklund, and ErnieMill — are seeking permission to open the business on 45acres at 8100 Valley Greens Drive. Located just across thestreet from Quail Lodge, the center would offer training andagility facilities, a “safe and stress-free” place to let dogs

CHS grad dies chasingOklahoma tornadoes

‘IF YOU had told me that I was going to risk my lifechasing tornadoes, I never would have believed you!” CarlYoung, 1986 Carmel High School graduate, told his friendand former classmate, Pacific Grove Police Sgt. Jeff Fenton,during a conversation on Facebook several months ago. “Intrue honesty, it is about the science, some degree of publicservice, the challenge, and a flurry of excitement when weintercept one of these forces of nature! Witnessing a tornadois downright AWESOME!”

Young, along with colleagues Tim and Paul Samaras, diedwhile pursuing tornadoes during the May 31 outbreak inOklahoma that killed more than a dozen people and injuredmore than 100.

The Connor EffectHAVING SAID goodbye to Maggie, their beloved

Basset hound, the year before, they felt the day wasfast approaching when they’d be ready for anotherdog. The moment came at the end of a difficult day,when they decided they needed a lift. So, they took adrive out to the SPCA.

Instead of a Basset hound, they had their sights seton someone big, brawny butch. But something elsecaught their attention. Amid all the jumping and bark-ing, clawing and begging in cage after cage, lay a pairof puppies, just looking. Silently the little terriers con-veyed a calm, gentle nature, their eyes soft andmaybe a little scared.

The female puppy was already being adopted. So,they took her brother out into the yard for a walk. At8 weeks, he was too little to know how to walk on aleash, but he tried. Everything outside seemed newand wondrous to him, and he looked around, sniffingthe ground and squinting in the sunlight.

“He was everything we didn’t want – a boy, a ter-rier, a puppy,” his person says. “But he was everythingwe could love. There was no way we were willing toput him back into his cage, with his sister leaving. Weknew he needed to come home with us.”

Now nearly 2, Connor is a “little surfer dude,” withmessy blond hair and a laid-back beach vibe. Joyfulyet relaxed and mellow, he pleases people but seemsto have a way with canines, quietly coaxing them outof their shells.

“Connor is magical with other dogs,” his personsays. “He seems able to read and understand them,particularly if they’re stressed or upset, and he getsthem to calm down. It works pretty well with us, too.”

n But it’s still not final

By MARY SCHLEY

FOREGOING A presentation on the ordinance becausethey are already so familiar with it, having heard and dis-cussed it at three previous meetings, the Carmel City Councillate Tuesday approved the law allowing live entertainmentwhere alcohol is sold and served.

Coming at the end of a five-plus-hour meeting June 4, theordinance would make it legal for restaurant and bar opera-tors to host live music, given that they get a permit and keepthe noise levels below 55 decibels at the property line.

During previous hearings, the council approved the ordi-nance with no expiration date for the live music permits, butafter a few residents and city attorney Don Freeman worrieddoing so would negatively affect the city’s ability to controlhow venues use the privilege, Mayor Jason Burnett suggest-ed the permits expire after 10 years, unless renewed by theplanning department.

Carmel Residents Association President BarbaraLivingston urged the council to reimpose the three-year limitthat was part of the law when it was first passed in 2005, orat least compromise and impose a five-year limit.

‘The very best for Carmel’“I think you’re making a mistake to put the review process

out 10 years,” she said. “I really would like you to keep it atthree, but if not, consider five.”

She said the periodic review would allow the city to “getrid of scofflaws” who violate the sound provisions.

“There is something about Carmel-by-the-Sea that is sospecial it deserves your attention,” she said. “I just want youto do the very best for Carmel.”

While the city’s planning staff has reported few com-plaints over existing permits, which were first allowed start-ing in 2005, Livingston said that’s simply because peopledon’t call the police when they are bothered by loud music ata restaurant.

Still, “the vast number of businesses will behave well,”Burnett predicted.

The council unanimously voted to adopt the ordinancewith the 10-year permit limit. The ordinance will have toreceive its final approval in July, which would put it intoeffect in August.

Council OKs law on music in bars, restaurants

Dozens apply for city jobTHE CITY should have a new planning and building

director next month, Carmel city administrator Jason Stilwelltold the council June 4.

The job, which entails overseeing the planning and build-ing departments and their employees, working with the coun-cil and outside agencies on laws and other city issues, andmyriad other responsibilities, has a salary range of $127,320

to $154,752 per year. Following recruiting efforts and adver-tising for the position, a total of 76 people from throughoutthe state applied for the job by the May 5 deadline. “Wefocused the recruitment on people who understand CEQAand the Coastal Act,” Stilwell added.

The hiring process will also include panel interviews withcommunity members, planners from other agencies, andemployees. “Interviews are scheduled for next week,” hesaid. “We anticipate having the new director on board in July,so that’s moving forward nicely.”

Tip stealer pleads guilty to burglaryBy MARY SCHLEY

POLICE TRACKED down a conspicu-ously dressed woman in town May 14 after abakery employee reported she had twicestolen money out of the tipjar — and was caught com-mitting the thefts on surveil-lance video — according toCarmel Police officer ChrisJohnson. Several days later,Kathryn Curnutt, 37 and aresident of the PacificNorthwest, pleaded guilty totheft and burglary.

“The clerks noticed whenthey were cashing out thatthere were some tips thatwere missing,” Johnson saidof the employees at CafeCarmel on the north side ofOcean Avenue west ofMission Street. “One of thelocal regulars had put in a tipthat wasn’t there.”

As a result, they contacted their boss, whothen scrutinized video from the surveillancesystem to see if it would provide any clues tothe thief’s identity.

“On the video, they were able to seeKathryn two separate times, within a coupleof minutes of each other, take money fromthe tip jar, so the manager told the staff thatif she came in the next day, they should callthe police,” he said.

When Curnutt walked in May 14, workersconfronted her, according to Johnson. “Sheended up stealing money again when thestaff asked her to leave and then turnedaround,” he said. “And staff turned backaround and saw her as she was stealing it.”

Curnutt then left, crossed the street andwandered a few blocks west to the CarmelCoffee House, where police found and ques-tioned her, according to Johnson.

“We had a pretty clear description —

there was no one else dressed anything likeher in Carmel,” he said, from Curnutt’s “glit-tery makeup,” to her “big fur coat with lacyVictorian-style dress and a lot of jewelry.”

“She was easy to find,” he said.In addition, a clerk from

Hedi’s shoes next door to thebakery told police the samewoman had walked in andtried on a pair of shoes, andthen tried to walk out wear-ing them. When the sales-person confronted her, shereturned the footwear andleft.

Officers took her toMonterey County Jail, andon May 22, Curnutt pleadedguilty to misdemeanor pettytheft and misdemeanor bur-glary. She was sentenced to90 days in custody and threeyears’ probation, andordered to stay away from

the cafe and the shoe store, according toMonterey County managing deputy districtattorney Ed Hazel.

Burglars hit homesTHIEVES WALKED into a residence on

Poppy Lane and a home on Calle de losAgrinemsors in Carmel Valley during day-time hours May 28 after their residents leftthe front doors unlocked, according toMonterey County Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Burns.The burglars took jewelry, electronics andother possessions.“It was a pretty quick in-and-out type thing,” he said. “In both cases,we’ve asked the homeowners to go throughand look for items that might be missing.”He encouraged all residents to lock theirdoors for their own “general safety and secu-rity.”

n Woman sentenced to jail, probation and can’t own pets

By KELLY NIX

FORTY-FIVE cats that were removed from a Seasidehome last summer after being found living in deplorable con-ditions are up for adoption, a spokeswoman for the SPCA forMonterey County said.

On July 24, 2012, SPCA humane officers found andseized 51 cats and took away 113 dead kittens in two homesin Seaside occupied by Maggie Johnson and her daughter,Donna Johnson. All of the cats, which didn’t have adequatefood and water, needed some degree of medical attention andseveral cats died after being rescued.

“So far, none of the cats have been adopted,” DawnFenton, the SPCA’s community outreach manager, told ThePine Cone this week, “but we are confident that we will findthem loving homes.”

The SPCA kept the cats until the Donna Johnson’s crimi-nal case was resolved. She was charged with several countsof animal cruelty and neglect, and on April 17 was sentencedto 20 days in jail and three years’ probation during whichtime she was ordered by a judge not to own any pets or stayin a home with pets for more than eight hours at a time,according to the SPCA. She was also ordered to attend coun-seling.

Because of the cats’ poor living conditions, many of thefelines were extremely under-socialized and need homeswith understanding and compassionate owners, Fenton said.And about a dozen feral cats found in the Seaside home arealso up for adoption but are best suited to a “loving barnhome.”

The hoarding case received international news attentionbecause of the large number of dead and living cats, and thesqualid conditions in which they were found.

SPCA humane officers used knives to slice open furnitureand mattresses since the Johnsons didn’t know how manycats lived there. Urine and feces were in every room the catsoccupied.

Workers seized 51 cats from the house on Noche BuenaStreet in Seaside occupied by Maggie Johnson, and recov-ered the carcasses of 113 dead kittens on that property andfrom a nearby apartment that Donna Johnson rented. Tendead kittens were found in the apartment, while the remain-der of the dead and living felines were discovered at thehouse.

45 rescued cats in hoarding case up for adoption The SPCA had gone to the homes after Seaside police

served search warrants after a property manager reportedfinding dead kittens.

SPCA officers also found 44 animal cremation urns at theapartment. Each wooden box had the name of a dead pet anda birth date.

He’s Good… He’s Funny!

He’s… Jerry Winters“Carmel’s Favorite FOLK Artist”

By MARY SCHLEY

CARMEL POLICE and administrators at the CarmelUnified School District collaborated on a proposed law topunish adults who hold parties in their homes and allow kidsto drink, but after Cmdr. Paul Tomasi presented the draft lawthe the city council June 4, council members decided to putoff enacting it until it could be tweaked to address their con-cerns and a similar county ordinance is considered later thissummer.

Tomasi said the law would “hold noncommercial hostsover the age of 18 responsible for hosting parties where thereis underage drinking.”

the law’s holding responsible “any person having control ofany premises.”

“That could include an 18-year-old or 19-year-old,”Hillyard continued. “I don’t think our residents would like usto make misdemeanants of their kids when they’re just beingkids.”

CUSD administrator Heath Rocha, a proponent of the law,pointed out that teenage drinking rates locally are higher thananywhere else in the state. Specifically, he said, 41 percent ofjuniors at Carmel High admit to binge drinking, defined asfive or more drinks in two hours.

“The intent is to get very drunk and to pass out,” he said.“We know they do it at homes. We’re not a community wherethey’re out driving into a field.”

He wanted the law broadened to include adults who couldbe reasonably expected to know a party with underage drink-ing would take place when they are out of town, and toimpose higher fines.

Carmel Residents Association President BarbaraLivingston said her board supports the ordinance, and RoseMoreno, an analyst for the County of Monterey, said she isworking on a similar law to be proposed to the board ofsupervisors for adoption later this summer.

“We’re trying to curb underage binge drinking and curbaccess to the alcohol,” she said. “Parents say it’s OK to havea party here, and it goes from three to 150,” and with thatcome sexual assault and other crimes.

City attorney Don Freeman advised the council to try tohave its ordinance mirror the county’s, and members direct-ed Tomasi to work with the county to refine the draft. Theyalso asked for assurance it would target adults responsible forunderage drinking, rather than result in convictions for rela-tively minor offenses, and to see if it could include situationswhere teens throw parties when the parents are out of town,since adults are legally responsible for their minor children.

Council decides to put off action on anti-party law“This ordinance will be used as a tool to assist in the pro-

tection of minors,” he said. “It targets those who provide avenue at which underage drinking occurs.”

The ordinance would give police the power to enter ahome when a rowdy party is occurring and would imposeescalating fines for convicted party hosts, from $500 for afirst offense, to an amount equal to the cost of emergencyresponse to the party — including police and fire officials— for a third offense.

“It’s designed to send a message to adults that hosting par-ties that involve underage drinking is no longer sociallyacceptable,” he said.

Council members worried, however, that the law wouldunfairly saddle adults hanging out with their younger friendswith misdemeanor charges — which could affect their abili-ty to travel overseas, according to city attorney Don Freeman— and observed that it wouldn’t mitigate the more problem-atic issue of teenagers holding parties and drinking whentheir parents are out of town.

“This doesn’t really address that,” councilwoman CarrieTheis confirmed.

Council member Ken Talmage asked how many incidentsin the city in the past five years would have been affected bythe proposed law.

“I don’t know of any, honestly,” Tomasi said. “As far asparents hosting parties in Carmel-by-the-Sea? None.”

Councilman Steve Hillyard expressed concern someonein his late teens or early 20s could end up with a misde-meanor on his record if he got caught having a few beers withhis underage friends.

“The language here is overly broad,” he said, referring to

Children’s swimming pool in P.G. opens June 21n Beach House restaurant getting final OKs

By KELLY NIX

YOUNG KIDS in Pacific Grove will soon have a newfavorite summer spot when the brand new children’s pool atLovers Point opens in a couple of weeks.

The $200,000 swimming pool will have its grand openingJune 21. The 40-year-old pool was ripped out last month, andworkers were expected to fill up the new one with water thisweek.

“The plan is to have the pool open up to seven day a weekuntil Labor Day, and following Labor Day, have it open onthe weekends,” Steve Thomas, chairman of the Save theLovers Point Children’s Pool ad hoc oversight committee toldThe Pine Cone.

The three-and-a-half-foot deep pool is slightly deeperthan the previous one and includes a ramp for wheelchairaccess. Apart from open swim sessions, lessons will also beoffered.

In preparation for the opening, the city is seeking part-time lifeguards and swim instructors. The positions pay$10.80 to $13.14 per hour, and applicants must be at least 15years old and possess certifications in lifeguarding, first aidand CPR.

To pay for the pool, an aggressive fundraising campaign

began last year and has so far raised $275,000, Thomas said.The biggest donor, by far, was Pacific Grove residentRichard Stilwell, who gave $100,000.

Extra funds raised that are not being used for the pool’sconstruction will be placed in a fund for swim scholarshipsand ongoing maintenance of the pool, Thomas said.

Beach House gets final inspectionsMeanwhile, the Beach House Restaurant at Lovers Point

is receiving final inspection sign-offs, Pacific Grove publicworks director Mike Zimmer told The Pine Cone Tuesday.

“We just had the person from the coastal commissioncome and do a walk through,” Zimmer said. “The BeachHouse is in absolute compliance according to the plan thatwas approved by the coastal commission.”

The opening of the eatery, which replaces the OldBathhouse Restaurant, has been delayed about one year, andno new opening date has been given.

Abalonetti Bar & Grill chef Christopher Groves will bethe Beach House’s new chef of the restaurant, which is saidto feature “California casual cuisine.”

Youth center needs helpwith Concours booths

THE CARMEL Youth Center gets a lot of the money itneeds to operate by selling concessions and offering shuttlerides during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and thenonprofit is in need of volunteers to work before and duringthe event. “This is a great way to earn community servicehours for high school graduation,” according to organizers.“It’s also a great way to get in to see one of the most presti-gious car shows on the planet. Plus, it’s one of the mostimportant fundraisers of the year for the CYC, and we canreally use your help.”

Available shifts are Saturday, Aug. 17, for setup from 9a.m. to 4 p.m., and throughout the main event Sunday, Aug.18, from early until late.

walk or run off their leashes, and a social hubfor their owners to meet.

But numerous residents told LUAC mem-bers they’re worried about how the businesswill affect their residential neighborhood. Inparticular, they cited concerns about of traf-fic, noise, lighting and special events.

Luci Willman zeroed in on the noise shesaid the center would create. “I’m dreadingwhat’s going to happen to the quiet weenjoy,” Willman said.

Ann Mahoney wondered if the local roadscan handle the traffic the business wouldgenerate. The center would attract recre-ational vehicles for its special events.

“How do we get 70 RVs on and offCarmel Valley Road?” Mahoney asked.“What kind of traffic impact will it have?”

Real estate agent Pat Matuszewski sug-gested the center would sink real estate val-ues in the neighborhood, thereby reducingthe amount of money the county receivesfrom property taxes. She urged officials toproceed with caution before approving theproject. “Once the genie is out of the bottle,there is no way to put it back in,”Matuszewski warned.

A man named Charles —his last namewasn’t audible — complimented the ownersfor their vision but questioned the location ofthe business. “It’s a great idea in the wrongneighborhood,” he said.

‘Fantastic design,’ ‘good use for land’While they appeared to be outnumbered,

a vocal minority supported the project.Roberta Troxell, who described herself as

“active in dog sports,” told the committeeshe is looking forward to using its facilities.Without the center, “I would have to travel100 miles to participate in a herding event,”Troxell explained.

Colleen Sweet believes the center willmake good use of the property.

“I’ve watched it sit fallow and become abreeding ground for destructive rodents andcoyotes,” said Sweet, who also praised Diehland her partners. “They’ve been very open toour concerns and bent over backward” tryingto accommodate them.

A man who described himself as a con-tractor called the project, “a fantastic designfor animals and pet owners.” He alsoaddressed concerns about the noise and traf-fic the business would generate.

“We have many events — the concours[week] especially — that bring far morevehicles into our area,” observed the man,who told the audience he raises therapy dogs.“Talk about noise and traffic abuse, talkabout the concours.”

Attorneys share concernsTwo of Monterey County’s most promi-

nent land use attorneys — who often findthemselves on opposing sides of cases —raised issues with the project.

Representing the Quail Lodge, attorneyAnthony Lombardo said its management isconcerned about anything that would“detract” from the resort’s “ambience” —particularly after its recent $28 millionmakeover. Lombardo listed modular build-ings, RV parking, RV generators, flood light-ing, loud speakers and event parking as pos-sible worries. “There are 100 rooms directlyacross the street” from the proposed center,Lombardo said.

While the project has been characterized

as preserving the longtime agricultural useof the property, attorney Michael Stampquestioned that assessment. “They’re elimi-nating agricultural use instead of preservingit,” Stamp said.

The attorney also took aim at gradingwork that’s begun on the property. But seniorplanner John Ford responded by saying thework — with the exception of an electricalproject “that crossed over the line” — com-plies with the traditional use of the land anddoesn’t require a permit.

Project not a ‘done deal’Tom Dellarmo and others have suggested

the project hasn’t received the scrutiny fromthe county it deserves, inferring that Diehl’srole as planning commissioner must be play-ing a part. Some have called it “done deal.”

“Something stinks here,” Dellarmo toldthe audience. “Nothing gets done quickly” inCarmel Valley, he said.

But Christine Williams, a frequent partic-ipant in local government meetings who has-n’t taken a public stance on the center, insist-ed nothing improper has occurred — and theproject is far from being approved.

“This is how the process works,”Williams explained. “It’s a slow process.This is just the beginning.”

Ford concurred with Williams. He alsosaid the comments the county receives fromthe public will “not only shape our under-standing, but also shape how we analyze theproject in terms of environmental and designanalysis.”

‘We did what we were told’Three weeks ago, Diehl told The Pine

Cone she and her partners were hoping tocelebrate the center’s grand opening Sunday,July 14. At the June 3 hearing, though, shesaid that event has been postponed becauseof the controversy it has generated.

While Diehl didn’t address every concernraised by the audience, she insisted the noiselevel at the center won’t adversely affect theneighborhood, comparing it to the noise gen-erated by a golf course.

To minimize noise, she said facilitieshave been sited as far from the propertyboundaries as possible.

Diehl also announced there will be nolighting for events, dispelling another fearpeople have raised. “We were told [by thecounty] that isn’t happening, so we removedthe request,” she said.

While some have been critical of thegrading work that has occurred, Diehl main-tained that she and her partners have donenothing wrong. “We did what we were told,”she added.

Will an EIR be required?Of all the comments made at the hearing,

the words of Brennan carried perhaps thegreatest weight. If an EIR is required, as shesuggested, the project’s path to completionwill become considerably more expensiveand time-consuming — if not infeasible.

“I think alternatives to this project need tobe carefully considered, and that can onlyoccur through an EIR,” Brennan said.

PETER KEITH HORNER1947-2013

You may have seen Peter walking down a Carmelstreet, the Canadian flag proudly stitched on hisred backpack.

True to his Canadian roots, he was a formidableice hockey player and skier in his youth and hadthe scars to prove it. Fueled by this drive and aremarkable creativity his entire life, he was a mar-keting whiz, first as brand manager at the CloroxCompany (on the original product launch team forHidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing) and later asDirector of Marketing at Sierra Chemical Company(now the Scotts-Sierra Horticultural Products Co.),maker of Osmocote® fertilizer. There, his “close tothe growers” strategy was hailed as a turning pointfor the company.

Peter’s retirement at a young age freed him to give back to his community byvolunteering his time and efforts, as well as pursue his many interests.

And so, sharing an adventurous spirit, Peter and his wife Kerry explored theworld. Together they retraced Shackleton’s expedition on an ice breaker, observedArctic wildlife from a Zodiac on the Bering Sea, walked through much of Europe,snorkeled in the Maldives and saw the vast regions of Australia.

His fascination with space started as a boy when he launched homemaderockets. Peter actually watched the NASA channel. He traveled to Kazakhstan toobserve a Russian space launch and toured CERN in Geneva. He was an activemember of The Mars Society and it was at the Society’s convention in Pasadenalast August that he witnessed a live feed of the landing of Curiosity on the RedPlanet and teared up, among most who were there.

Always a polite gentleman, Peter nonetheless never lost his boyish sense ofmischief. Those fortunate to have known him were inspired and mentored by hiskeen intellect, entertained by his creative science experiments, and shared in thegenerosity of his large and kind heart. He taught us to greet each day with won-der, curiosity and gratitude and to live that day fully.

Missing him are his loving wife Kerry, stepdaughter Courtney, stepson Christian(Jill) and their children Sarah and Zachary, his brother Jim (Sandy), sistersKathleen (Bryan), Susan and Elizabeth and their families, as well as countlessfriends.

A Celebration of Life will take place in the Washington State mountains inAugust.

Into the freedom of wind and sunshine…..We let you goInto the dance of the stars and the planets….We let you go

Into the wind’s breath and the hands of the star maker…..We let you goWe love you, we miss you, we want you to be happy.

Go safely, go dancing, go running home.

Joan Rowe was born a “Navy Junior” to (then) Lt. G.L. Markle, ChC USN, and EloiseDavis Markle, in Newport, Rhode Island. They lived many places and traveled exten-sively—a life Jody, as she was known to her friends, loved. It meant attending six highschools in three years during WWII, but offered many opportunities and great future sto-ries. At the age of eight, she played a violin solo on the battleship USS Arizona, and at

twelve in American Samoa she played the honoraryrole of village princess, leading twenty young maleteachers in their own “Siva Siva” dance and song,dressed in ceremonial fine-mat, rare bird featherdress and boar’s tooth necklace. Years and moretravels later, as a Navy wife, she ran the bow planeson a 400 ft submarine dive, to celebrate the fleet’sFamily Day.

She enjoyed all of the arts and many sports. While incollege, she qualified as a lifeguard and small craftsailor, and later was a charter member of theCalifornia Dressage Society, raised show dogs, and

was an equestrian cross-country judge at the Los Angeles Olympics. She took Frenchand Spanish lessons when time permitted, and after retiring, made a solo trip aroundEurope, including a month of train-hopping dictated only by the whim of the moment.There were memberships in art, history, and music organizations, the Navy League, andthe S.P.C.A. She was a member of the DAR, tracing her heritage back to a French offi-cer at the Battle of Hastings.

Jody moved to Carmel almost fifty years ago, after visiting often. Her children went toCarmel schools, and when they were teenagers, she took them on a cross-country tripto Bar Harbor and back, camping at National Parks and monuments en route. Sheworked nearly twenty years for Monterey County, mostly as a family support officer inthe District Attorney’s office.Life’s biggest reward? Her quick reply, “My own wonderful family!”

Jody was predeceased by daughter Kristen Cronander (1951-1959), and is survived byher sister, Marilyn Tacker (Joe), daughter Kathryn Neumann (Kurt), sons MarkCronander (Maria Elena), Christopher Cronander, Jonathan Cronander (Mary), andJonas Rowe, grandchildren Marcos Cronander, Kristen Goodwin, Audrey Neumann,Kelly Cronander, Rory Cronander, and James Rowe. She did not wish a funeral or cel-ebration. Any memorial gifts should be to the charity of the donor’s choice, or the S.P.C.A.

the storms — had starred together on Discovery Channel’s“Storm Chasers.” Paul Samaras, a photographer and videog-rapher, was Tim’s son.

Fenton and Young were among a handful of friends atCarmel High who had eaten lunch together almost daily,some of them since junior high, he said.

“That group was some of the more intelligent people inthe school. We weren’t all brains,” he said, exempting himselffrom the title, “but a lot of us had been friends all the waythrough elementary school and middle school.”

Like many of that group of friends, which also includedmotorcycle mechanic Jeff Collard, they lost touch after grad-uation. But the two reconnected at their 20th CHS reunionand through Facebook.

“And then next thing you know, there he is on the TV, and

you’re going, ‘Hey, I know that guy!’” Fenton said. “And Ihad just watched that show a couple of times before he wason one of the featured teams, so I was just getting into it ashe started.”

During those interim years, Young had gone to college andworked in Hollywood. His first tornado encounter occurredin 2000, when he headed to the East Coast, according to theDiscovery Channel.

“He decided to take off on a two-month storm chasingadventure in the Great Plains hoping to catch a glimpse of afew tornadoes but ending up with over a dozen twisterencounters. Experiencing the raw force of nature in Nebraskawas unlike any pyrotechnic display on a high-techHollywood set.”

The experiences drove his desire to earn a master’s degreein atmospheric science from the University of Nevada Reno,and at a meteorological conference, he met Samaras, who“encouraged him to collect meteorological data from insidetornadoes as the principal focus of his thesis research.”

Beginning in2003, up until lastweek, the twochased tornadoeseach spring, “andtogether, theirTWISTEX teamhas tracked downover 125 torna-does,” according tothe DiscoveryChannel.

Collard remem-bered Young asbeing “extremelysmart” and said,“It’s just mind-blowing that he’sgone.”

He recalled Young as being fairly conservative in highschool, friendly to many and straight laced.

“He drove a black Dodge Dart when the rest of us had ’68Camaros,” he said. “He was very funny, very kind. He wasone of those people who just didn’t have a bad word for any-body.”

After high school, Young headed to Berkeley, and he andCollard lost touch until the late 1990s, when they happenedto run into each other at a Depeche Mode concert in Oakland.

The last time Collard heard from Young — whose motherand stepfather live in Carmel Valley, and whose youngerbrother is also local — about nine months ago, Collardlearned about his friend’s latest ambitions.

“I didn’t realize he was into meteorology. He said he wasstorm chasing and following his dream, and how excited hewas for the whole project,” he said. “He was catching me upon his life.”

“He truly enjoyed what he was doing,” Fenton said.“Obviously, he didn’t go into it blindly. You get your master’sin meteorology, you know what you’re doing.”

PHOTO/CARMEL PINE CONE FILE

This photo of extensive flooding along the Carmel River in March 1998 shows the obstacles on the south sideof the Carmel River that forced water into homes and businesses along the river’s developed north side. Theblister was removed by Clint Eastwood in 2009; under a new plan proposed by Eastwood and the Big SurLand Trust, the levee will also be removed, and the Highway 1 berm will be replaced with a causeway.

can stay in the river. And the rest — about 85acre-feet — will be contracted to Cal Am tosupplement the Monterey Peninsula’s legalsupply during the looming crunch, and thenmade available to private property ownerswho need it for additions to homes, infilldevelopment and business expansions.

Approval from the State Water ResourcesControl Board will be needed for the waterdeal before the transfer of the land to theBSLT can be completed, said Alan Williams,a longtime Eastwood business associate.

“We already have licensing of the water,and now we’ll be able to ask for permissionto move some of it,” Williams said.

Local officials welcomed the prospect ofan enhancement of the local water supply —however small — pending completion of anew water supply project for the MontereyPeninsula, especially since that new waterproject, whatever form it takes, still has along way to go before it’s approved, muchless built.

“Having more water for lots of record,having more water to enable restaurants toadd a few seats, to allow people to add abathroom if they want, to be able to have anapartment upstairs in the commercial core ...there are all sorts of wonderful things thiscommunity would love to have, and we’rebeing held back because of a lack of water,”said Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett. He saidthe Carmel City Council would be doing its“due diligence” to determine how best to usesome of Eastwood’s water, if it becomesavailable.

Getting the water, Burnett said, would“put the decision-making power over landuses back where it belongs, in the hands ofthe elected representatives of the people ofCarmel.”

“Desal and all that are all good, butmaybe nothing’s going to get built in our life-time,” Eastwood said. “Eighty-five acre-feetcan do a lot of good.”

But even more enthusiastic support forthe land trust’s flood control project is com-ing from business owners and residentsalong the river — especially those whoremember the floods during the 1990s.

“The single most important step for pro-tecting the Mission Fields and Crossroadsareas from future flooding is to allow moreflood water to flow south of the river, insteadof flooding the developed north bank,” saidLarry Levine, who chairs a county advisorycommittee on flood prevention in CarmelValley.

“The county has to get on the stick andget this done,” said Margaret Robbins, wholives near the river, and whose home nearlyflooded in 1995 and 1998. “The Crossroadsshopping center has 50 stores that need pro-tection, Arroyo Carmel and Riverwood havealmost 200 units that need protection, andMission Fields has almost 300 units.”

She said $14 million in grant money isavailable to get the work done, but a bigchunk of that is going to expire at the end ofthe summer unless action is taken.

At a meeting of the Monterey CountyBoard of Supervisors capital improvementprojects subcommittee Monday, it wasagreed that the county should be the leadagency for the flood-control work, and theboard itself will probably agree, according to5th District Supervisor Dave Potter.

“The floods in 1998 were devastating,”Potter said. “This is a great, great project.”

Opening up the land Eastwood plans todonate is one part of the work anticipated bythe Big Sur Land Trust, which has securedthe $14 million funding, according to execu-tive director Bill Leahy. More will be need-ed, however.

“We are working with Monterey County

to identify the remaining funding needed,secure the funding and a set a time frame tobreak ground,” Leahy said.

Lots to doWhy will the work be so costly?Eastwood has already moved, at his own

expense, a huge amount of fill and debristhat was dumped on the Odello property inthe 1930s during construction of a hotel indowntown Monterey. The fill, known as “theblister,” impeded the flow of floodwatersacross the Odello land. Eastwood alsonotched the levee along the south side of theriver to direct some high water onto his land.

The latest project involves removing aone-half mile section of the levee, whichwould open the floodgates from the river tothe undeveloped land immediately to thesouth. It also calls for removal of the bermthat carries Highway 1 across theOdello/Eastwood land, replacing it with acauseway so water can flow freely on its wayto the ocean. And the BSLT plans to create anetwork of trails connecting the north side ofthe river to the land Eastwood is donating,and then to Palo Corona Ranch and beyond.

“We are frustrated at the slow progress inactually getting any work started, but we arealso appreciative of all the agencies, organi-zations and funders who are so supporting ofthe project,” Levine said.

“Besides making some water available,the project would also have huge environ-mental benefits for the community and forthe river,” Burnett said. “It’s going to be awin-win-win.”

“The land trust is working with theEastwoods on structuring the project toallow us to move forward,” Leahy said.“Permitting has not yet begun.”

SWAN SONG FOR SMUIN BALLERINABy CHRIS COUNTS

ONE OF Smuin Ballet’s principaldancers takes her final curtain call Fridayand Saturday, June 7-8, when the unconven-tional San Francisco dance company per-forms at Sunset Center.

After 11 years on stage, RobinSemmelhack retires this week to help herhusband manage a pair of restaurants, and tostart a family.

“It’s going to be bittersweet,”Semmelhack told The Pine Cone. “SmuinBallet has been a huge part of my life. It’sgoing to be a big change for me, but I knowit’s the right decision.”

A dancer since she was 3, Semmelhackwill miss working with a dance company thatemphasizes individuality and creativity overefficiency and conformity. She is particular-

Summertime wines, food tours honored, and Hello Sunshine

JUST IN time for the Carmel Valley heat— and Saturday’s 9th Annual Art & Winecelebration — Chesebro has released threenew wines that are crisp, refreshing andbright: a rosé, a Sauvignon Blanc and anAlbariño. During the art and wine event,which showcases multiple artists and winer-ies throughout Carmel Valley Village,Chesebro will be pouring those wines in itslineup, allowing people seeking tasty andaffordable summer wines to give them a try.

Tasting room manager Alyssa Ramp, alsoan artist whose works hang in the winery’s

tasting room at 19 East Carmel Valley Road,said she anticipates the crowds will be eagerto try the latest releases, so she plans on hav-ing plenty to offer.

Made with grapes grown in the ArroyoSeco area of southern Monterey County, therosé includes white wines Viognier andVermentino blended with less than 10 per-cent Syrah, which provides its pink hue.Completely dry, with no residual sugars, thewine was aged in stainless steel to retain itscrisp acidity and delicate flavors and aromas,including attributes of strawberry and tropi-cal fruit. After last year’s one barrel of rosésold out in record time, winemakers Markand Will Chesebro (father and son) decidedto triple production for a total of 93 cases forthe 2012 vintage. The wine sells for $15 perbottle.

The Sauvignon Blanc from Cedar LaneVineyard, also aged in stainless steel, pre-

sents aromas of white peach and tropicalfruit alongside the more traditional citrusnotes of the varietal. The added layers ofdepth and ripeness are due to the fact thiswine is made from the clone of SauvignonBlanc called musque that’s grown at CedarLane. Those characteristics also allow thegrapes to be picked earlier, when their sugarcontent is lower, producing good acidity andnot too much alcohol. Chesebro made 305cases and is selling the wine for $18 per bot-tle.

The third new kid on the block, Albariño,is a Spanish varietal alsogrown in Arroyo Seco. Withhints of summer stone fruitsand a slight herbaceous quali-ty, the wine has fuller bodyand richer mouthfeel thanmany Albariños, which can bequite stark. Ramp said

Albariño is particularly close to WillChesebro’s heart, as he spent time bicycleriding in Spain (he has been a member of theU.S. Paralympic cycling team since 2011).The winery made 187 cases and is selling itfor $18 per bottle.

Other wines on hand at Chesebro include2010 Vermentino from Cedar Lane, 2009Pinot Noir from Arroyo Seco, the 2009 LasArenas blend of Grenache and Syrah fromCedar Lane and Arroyo Seco, and 2006Syrah from the Chesebros’ own CM Ranchin Carmel Valley.

When the family bought CM Ranch,located about 12 miles southeast of CarmelValley Village, “they intended to producecheese, but that was farming all year,” Rampexplained. Wine, on the other hand, allowsfor at least a little time off to offset the inten-

A Desirable Change

Through the efforts of Mrs. Eva K. deSabla there is about to be consummated aplan to convey one and one-half acres of landto the Carmel Mission, according to anannouncement recently made. The approachto the ancient church, built under the direc-tion of Father Junipero Serra, is at presentquite roundabout, and the adobe ruinsfronting the structure are located on privateproperty. The conveyance will involve achange in the road which passes the church,and would make possible a number ofimprovements in the vicinity of the missioncalculated to greatly enhance the appearanceof this historic edifice.

Hatton Joins Sanitary District

The petition of the Hatton Fields propertyowners was filed this week with the Carmelsanitary district board and has received full

backing of that board, Hugh Comstockreported this week, following a meeting lastFriday at which it became known that theresidents of the Hatton Fields area werekeenly in favor of joining the district.

The area involved is that from OceanAvenue northward between Paradise Park, astrip of property adjoining Carpenter streeton the east side of the highway, and includ-ing the Community Hospital.

n 50 years ago –– June 6, 1963

A Point of Some Confusion

Last Tuesday, a stormy meeting atHoliday Inn, to which several of the 17 per-sons in attendance claimed they were notinvited, proved at least one thing: the oldCarmel spirit hasn’t expired, it’s just movedout to Carmel Point. The dispute over whichway the traffic is –– or isn’t –– to go onScenic Drive between Valley Way and theState Beach parking lot at the end ofCarmelo Street has become the subject ofimpassioned, gloriously confused maneuver-ing, manifestos and many gestures by impas-

sioned Italian fingers stirring among theplots and alarums.

The storm brewed up a few weeks agowhen Harold Arnot quietly presented a peti-tion to the Board of Supervisors asking thatone-way traffic be installed on the section ofScenic which runs in front of his house. Thepetition, according to Arnot, had been pre-pared by a neighbor, Mrs. Annette Thorne,who had to go to Europe.

It did not take long for the barometer tofall and the storm to move in. [OfSeventeenth Avenue, John] Walsh accusedArnot not only of bad manners in failing tospeak with the people on Seventeenth andValley Way before going to the Board ofSupervisors, but he also implied that it was adeliberate circumvention. But an agreementwas finally reached, to which Arnotbegrudgingly acceded when his efforts topersuade the dissident majority to allow aone-month trial of his program failed. Theagreement was to do nothing about the mat-ter until a discussion was had with CountyRoad Commission Bruce McClain.

We Won’t Lose The Del MonteBut Will The SP Regain It?

The Southern Pacific apparently is notgoing to get away with it; at least, not offi-cially. The Public Utilities Commission hasaccused the company of deliberately contriv-ing an atmosphere of shabbiness and ineffi-ciency in its passenger service, with the hopethat it can “walk away” from passengeractivity altogether, after driving off the cus-

tomers. This it tried to do with the famousDel Monte Special, before asking theCommission for permission to abandon thetrain because it was not used by enough pas-sengers and it was losing money.

Tuesday, the Commission sitting in SanFrancisco handed down a unanimous rejec-tion of the SP’s plea. Commissioner WilliamM. Bennett sharply commented, “SouthernPacific’s franchise to carry passengers is agovernment privilege. Applications to aban-don that franchise are not to be measured bythe sole test of profit.”

No ‘lights, camera, action’ for thecity of Carmel

“Basically the people of Carmel have saidover and over again that they do not wantfilming in downtown Carmel,” said MayorJean Grace, adding that there are alreadyabout 25,000 cars each day going in and outof town. Grace, speaking to a panel com-posed of film professionals and severalMonterey County Film Commission mem-bers last week at the Hyatt Regency, said thatparking is just too precious a commodity inthe one-mile-square city. While Carmel doeshave a fee schedule arranged for filming, Lt.Don Fuselier of Carmel Police Departmenttold the panel that the word had gotten out inthe film industry that the city discouragessuch activity. Many film companies ask for apermit to film only 24 hours ahead of time.

n Trio of shows open at CAAThree new exhibits — which showcase the talents of five

different artists — open Saturday at the Carmel ArtAssociation.

Offering dueling views of figurative painting, ChristineCrozier and Diane Wolcott will present “Two Views.”Crozier’s work is loose, impressionistic and spontaneous,while Wolcott aims to capture the innocence of an idyllicchildhood.

Painters Joseph Nordmann and Howard Perkins are fea-tured in June’s Gallery Showcase. Nordmann, who recentlyturned 90, presents a exhibit of Western landscapes in oils.Perkins displays a collection of oils which capture the coast-line near his Pacific Grove home.

The gallery’s New Member Show features work by semi-abstract sculptor Chris Sawyer and abstract watercoloristRobert McIntyre.

The gallery, which hosts a reception at 5 p.m., is onDolores between Fifth and Sixth. The shows will be on dis-play through July 2. Call (831) 624-6176.

n The art of curiosityThe Marjorie Evans Gallery at Sunset Center hosts a

reception Wednesday, June 12, for painter Patricia Quall,whose exhibit, “Insatiable Curiosity,” will be on displaythrough the end of the month.

An abstract expressionist, Quall has an affection for brightcolors and powerful brush strokes. A clinical psychologist byprofession, the Carmel Valley artist has a deep thirst forknowledge and — as the title of her exhibit implies — aboundless curiosity.

“She’s a very interesting lady,” curator Barbara Davisontold The Pine Cone. “She sees art in a very different way. Herpieces are very large — some are 8 feet long.”

The reception starts at 5 p.m. Sunset Center can be foundat San Carlos and Ninth.

Comolli works in the London office of Accel Partners, “aglobal venture and growth equity firm” committed to “help-ing exceptional entrepreneurs build lasting, category-defin-ing technology companies.” The company — which also hasan office in Palo Alto — lists Facebook, Spotify, Etsy andWalmart among its many clients.

Comolli joined Accel in 2000. According to his biographyon the company’s website, he has been active in “internation-al startups, general management and venture capital invest-ing for 26 years.”

He is also listed as an active member of the WorldEconomic Forum, a Swiss nonprofit foundation dedicated to“improving the state of the world by engaging business,political, academic and other leaders of society to shapeglobal, regional and industry agendas.”

Comolli graduated from Northwestern University in 1982with a BS in Engineering. He received his MBA in 1987from Harvard Business School.

A Google search did not turn up any links betweenComolli and Carmel, although the reasons why he wanted tobuy the house are probably self evident. He did not respondto questions from The Pine Cone about his new home.

24 A The Carmel Pine Cone June 7, 2013

James “Jim” Arie Gordon, of Carmel, California passed away in Mesa, Arizonaon March 27, 2013 at the age of 80.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on what would have been his 81st birth-day, June 14th, 2013, at the Rancho Larios Community Clubhouse at 162 ElCirculo Del Real, San Juan Bautista, CA 95045 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Gatecode *5619#). There will be a choir performance with a selection of Jim’s favoritesongs at noon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to theSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for Monterey County atwww.spcamc.org or P.O. Box 3058, Monterey, CA 93942, in honor of Jim’s ten-derness, love, and advocacy for all animals.

Jim was born to Floyd and Annie Mae MullinsHerring on June 14, 1932 in De Funiak, Springs Florida.He was raised in Mobile, Alabama and graduated fromMurphy High School in 1951. He aspired to be a pilotsince his first flight as a young boy in a private light air-craft. Jim always marveled at how clean and peacefuleverything looked from the air, something that impressedhim on that very first flight and inspired him to pursue acareer in aviation. He graduated from Air Cadet Class 54-H NS, ranked as Lieutenant in the United States Air Forcebetween 1952 and 1960, and served in the Air Force Reserves until 1965. Flyingfor United Airlines from 1960 to 1998, Jim piloted all but one of the aircraft theairline operated during his international flying career, retiring as captain on theBoeing 747. He always said he was “in the right place at the right time” during hiscareer and was lucky to be paid to do something he loved. Any day with a smoothlanding was a great day, and he had many of them. He was a proud member of theCarmel Valley Hanger of Quiet Birdmen and had a childlike passion and awe foraviation, WWII air museums, astronomy, and cats. Jim was amazingly well-read,well-spoken, and well-travelled and was known for his quick charm and knack atenticing those from all walks of life into animated conversation, abundant laugh-ter, and stories of his life, readings, and travels. Many of his happiest moments dur-ing his later years were spent retelling and reliving his adventures in life and avia-tion with his fellow aviators, friends, and family.

Jim is survived by his wife of 44 years, Kathleen; his son, Erik (Marina) Gordonof San Juan Bautista; his daughter, psychologist Dr. Krystina Gordon of Phoenix,Arizona; and his favorite cat, who he treated as a child, “Baby Cat”. Both his sonand daughter followed in his footsteps and became pilots; Erik was promoted toCaptain of the Boeing 737 with United Airlines just prior to Jim’s passing andKrystina became a Certified Flight Instructor and received her undergraduatedegree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Farewell to a loving husband, father, friend, and special man. We love you andwish you smooth air and magnificent travels departing from the airport in the sky.

Editorial

What’s the downside?There isn’t one

WE WRESTLED a bit with our front-page story about Clint Eastwood’splan to donate 80 acres to the Big Sur Land Trust so it can be used to lessen theflood danger at the mouth of Carmel Valley, even as he tries to make some of thepotable water on the property available to help stave off the state’s Draconianwater cutback order, and then to be used for infill development in Carmel andCarmel Valley.

We struggled with it because we wanted to make the story balanced, whichwould mean finding people who don’t like what Eastwood’s up to and givingthem a chance to voice their displeasure. In this community, with its myriad ofhighly opinionated and energetic activists who never met an issue that didn’t gettheir dander up, surely there’d be somebody who’d find something to complainabout.

But then we thought, “Who could possibly be against flood control?” The1995 and 1998 floods were true disasters, washing out highways and bridges,isolating communities, destroying property, and generally wreaking havoc, espe-cially on the north side of the Carmel River. More floods are coming, of course,and the Eastwood land donation is an essential first step toward opening the wayfrom the south side of the river to the ocean, which would divert stormwateraway from the homes and businesses on the north side. Being against that wouldbe like being in favor of a plague. Of course, somebody, somewhere is in favorof plagues, but whoever he is, he’s nuts, and in journalism school they don’tteach you that balance is required between the forces of sanity and the forces ofcraziness. So we left the anti-flood-control angle, whatever it is, out of the story.

Likewise the idea of Cal Am taking temporary possession of Eastwood’s 85acre-feet a year so that we don’t run afoul of the state’s 2016-and-beyond limitson what we’re allowed to consume. The Eastwood water isn’t much, comparedto the Monterey Peninsula’s overall consumption of 13,000 acre-feet a year, buteven a tiny additional supply, such as what he is offering, could keep us fromgoing over the state’s ceiling, which would mean escaping fines and rationing.So, just like flood control, nobody in his right mind could be against havingEastwood’s 85 AF added to the ever-shrinking pool of water we are allowed touse, and that angle isn’t in the story, either.

But what about the final step in the Eastwood plan? He wants to make someof his water available to people in Carmel and Carmel Valley so they can use itfor additions to homes, expansions of restaurants and other small businesses,and building on existing lots of record. Now there’s something surely a lot ofpeople will be against!

Actually, no. Over a period of many years, one of this newspaper’s reportershas had an assignment to find someone — anyone — who has a respected placein this community and who thinks there should be no new water for anything.As far as we have been able to find, nobody has this belief. Everyone recognizesthe need for a small amount of new water to provide for the basic needs of thepeople of the Monterey Peninsula, including the small-scale types of develop-ment envisioned by Eastwood.

When you think about it, this unanimity of opinion about having an adequatewater supply only makes sense. Having clean, healthful and inexpensive wateravailable to everyone is a major achievement of modern man, and is every bit asessential to human life and progress as having good schools, plentiful food, effi-cient transportation, modern medical care, proper law enforcement and manyother things. Everybody recognizes that these things are essential, and nobodyis against them.

So that’s why our front-page story doesn’t have a quote from anybody who’sagainst the things Eastwood is proposing: Because nobody is. If anything, every-body agrees they should be done quicker.

‘Panic and assumptions based on ignorance’Dear Editor,

Being 34 years old, I realize I’m in theminority demographic in this community.But I am a native of Carmel and plan toremain here for the rest of my life. The futureof our area is actually more relevant to methan to most who voice their opinions in thistown. Part of what I love about this commu-nity is its rural atmosphere. Part of what Idislike about this community is the tendencyfor stagnation. Somewhere there must be abalance between maintaining the beauty andintegrity while accepting positive change.

The Carmel Canine Sports Center is justthat: A small business owned by three localswho have a passion for dogs and want tooffer the community another healthy outletfor activity. Let me remind people what is

being proposed. It’s a recreation facility forpeople and their canines. Not a brothel or aprison (or RV park as some have suggested).It’s shocking how the concept of a dog sportsfacility can evoke such an uproar in typical-ly well mannered people.

To gain perspective — the owners of theproperty have the opportunity to find a ten-ant to farm it (which has clearly been chal-lenging), lease it out to CCSC, which pro-poses to plant grass, grow hay and maintainthe farm’s organic status as closely as possi-ble, or develop the nine existing residentiallots. If green grass and well exercised dogscause homeowners to sound the war cry, Ican only imagine the maelstrom that wouldarise when the bulldozers move in with theirnoisy construction crews for a few years tobuild homes. Talk about reducing propertyvalues ....

As a resident of mid-valley, I’m sorry tosee the concerns of a few may hinder thebenefit to the greater community. Whilethere are valid concerns, it’s clear that CCSCis willing to address those issues and create acompromise agreeable to both parties.However, it appears that panic and assump-tions based on ignorance have caused moreof a mob mentality than a rational group ofdissenters.

Sports Center in Carmel Valley? Who cares if a county commissioner is

• No move out• No chemicals

A gazillionaire just can’t find good help anymoreSO YOU hire a guy to do a job, and it

ends up creating nothing but heartache. Isn’tthat the way it goes?

Not that I’m complaining. Don’t get mewrong. I’m not a whiner. It was my big day,after all, the day I got to prove I am indeed ahopeless romantic and not the smug heart-less weasel everyone thinks after they sawthat movie.

This day was so big, in fact, that we evensent Bono an invitation.

Do you have any idea what sort of pres-sure you’re under when you expect Bono toshow up?

This had to be special.So I hired my Big Sur wedding planner,

backed the Brinks truck up to his office andtold him exactly what I wanted for my spe-cial day.

A wedding can’t be memorable unless it’sgot a Hollywood theme, of course, so the oldlady and I settled on “Mad Max Meets ThePrincess Bride.”

Simple, right? My Big Sur wedding plan-ner clearly understood the concept. And wewere very direct about our instructions,which were simple enough for any boneheadto understand: Don’t hire local help, don’t

bother us with the details andmake sure Bono shows up.

A couple of days later, myBig Sur wedding planner toldme he’s found this place called“Big Sur,” and I thought,“Wow, that’s great. Big Sur is

perfect because my personal legends allhung out there. Kerouac. Miller. That guywho founded Esalen.

Get me Esalen, I demanded. Bono wouldlove Esalen. But my Big Sur wedding plan-ner told me he had already tried. It turns outthe creeps from Spotify had already bookedthe place for a Radiant Soul MeditationRetreat that very same weekend.

I admit that I was quite upset about this

Bride” section was a fairy-tale crowd pleas-er.

The wedding itself was great. The Big Surwedding planner even found a minister witha speech impediment.

The guests all got to see I wasn’t such aweasel after all.

It all went off splendidly, except for onesignificant problem for which I’ll never for-give my Big Sur wedding planner. In fact,I’ve got my attorneys on his tail as we speak.

Much has been made about the seven-fig-ure fine I’ve been assessed because my BigSur wedding planner failed to secure permitsfor the set construction. But that isn’t reallyan issue for a billionaire of my stature.

And, anyway, who could possibly knowthat a simple wedding might destroy thecoastal environment? Who even knew thereis such a thing as a California Coastal Act?My Big Sur wedding planner can’t beblamed for that.

But I’ve got a much bigger problem withmy Big Sur wedding planner.

Bono never showed up.Worse, he sent Sting as a proxy.

development and so I naturally demandedthe Big Sur wedding planner call Esalenagain to remind them who I am.

Sensing my seething disappointment, myBig Sur wedding planner assured me he haddiscovered the perfect alternative. It’s got aredwood forest, a cute little river and a flatspot around back to accommodate plenty ofluxury Chem Can Portable Restrooms.

My Big Sur wedding planner told me theset designer from Australia he hired hadflown in to survey the property, and he wasconfident, he could convincingly recreateboth the Mad Max depictions of smolderingruination and the “Princess Bride” portrayalof whimsy on the site.

I was assured that Bono would beimpressed.

How difficult could it be? It’s not like Iexpected my Big Sur wedding planner tobuild a dog park in Carmel Valley.

Well, the special day came, and the prop-erty was indeed magical, more dazzling thanany run-of-the-mill redwood forest couldever be. The make-believe “Mad Max” setsmoldered and the make-believe “Princess

Neighbors needn’t be concernedDear Editor,

I’m writing in regards to the new CarmelCanine Sports Center under proposal in theQuail Lodge area.

It’s a common reaction for neighbors toworry about the addition of a project in theircommunity, many times without realizingthe impact will not be negative, once they are

provided with all the facts of the new addi-tion.

Quail Lodge has been used in the past formany events with no negative impact on theQuail community. In fact the SMARTAgility Club has held its three-day agilitytrial at Quail for the past two years with noproblems or complaints. These trials had 250participants and 70 RVs stayingovernight. Most residents weren’t even awarea trial had taken place. That’s a goodsign. The new club is at about the same dis-tance from homes as the trials have been.

According to the Quail Lodge Golf website, it encompasses 830-plus acres.

On a much larger scale, the Tomato Festhad 3,000 in attendance and QuailMotorsports Gatherings are also capped at3,000. Many large transport trucks areincluded in this event and stay overnight.CCSC is requesting events of 250 in com-parison.

The site would be approximately 40acres, a portion of which is in the 100-yearfloodplain, making it not useable for muchanyway. In addition, the closest property tothis area would be 400 feet away, across aroad and golf fairway.

The area could use a nice facility for peo-ple to go with their dogs to practice, teachand learn with their dogs in a safe location. I

hope the above facts can be taken into con-sideration for its approval.

Maryse Shank, Phoenix (and summerCarmel resident)

Dog events don’t intrudeDear Editor,

I am writing this letter to express my sup-port for the Carmel Canine Sports Center.

Firstly, while dogs do bark, the LagunaSeca Raceway makes traffic and noise, andthe AT&T Pro-Am congests our Peninsulafor a short period each spring. However, wedo embrace them all as they provide activi-ties of both pleasure and income to our com-munity.

It is apparent that the planning of thisunique canine sports center has been wellthough-out, with careful attention being paidto the health and safety of the dogs, as wellas the concerns of the surrounding propertiesand homeowners.

As the husband who supports his wife’spassion by attending dog shows showingBernese mountain dogs throughout theUnited States (usually at great golf venues),I can attest that all the dog shows we haveattended have been extremely professional.The people involved are extremely dedicat-ed, caring, and concerned with regards to thecanine health and surrounding environment.Note that Carmel recently received nationalattention as the most dog-friendly city inAmerica.

To complement this recognition, it is fit-ting that the Monterey Peninsula be the siteof a Canine Sports venue of this caliber.

As I play golf at Quail Lodge, I look for-ward to having my wife next door workingwith her Bernese mountain dogs.

Victor Heintzberger, Salinas

Beach not friendly for people?Dear Editor,

I recently brought my 90-year-old mom toCarmel to visit my brother. I had not walkedthe beach for 10 years. My mom managed towalk down the stairs and through the drysand to the firm sand near the water’s edge.But our first day there a big dog came up andstarted growling at us while the owneryelled, “He’s friendly!” I said my mother wasvulnerable and did not need a dog knockingher down. The woman turned to her dog andsaid in baby talk, “But you didn’t knock herdown, did you?” I realized I was dealing witha different breed of dog owner. She finallygot hold of him and soon after released him,no leash. For the rest of the week we dodged“chuck it” balls that were flying past ourheads, entangled dogs playing and boundingtoward our knees, and yapping dogs waitingfor their owners to throw the toy. The signsabove the beach should warn of rogue waves,rips, and most of all, dogs. e

Transforming an agency so it actually starts doing somethingYOU SEE his name in the newspaper

whenever something’s developing with thewater crisis. Dave Stoldt has been generalmanager of the MontereyPeninsula WaterManagement District sinceJuly 2011, and by mostaccounts, he’s made a signif-icant difference, at least withthe district’s operation.

Dave was brought up inthe western suburbs ofChicago and went to collegeat the University of Illinoisin Champagne-Urbana,where he majored in engi-neering. “Originally I wasdoing the engineering inenvironmental and hydrosys-tems. I was going to becomean environmental attorney. Iwas going to go to lawschool. But I hit senior yearin college and I said, ‘How many attorneysdo you know that you like?’ I also got theimpression that environmental attorneys did-n’t make a whole lot of money.”

So, undecided about his future, he didwhat many young men have done: He wentWest.

“I didn’t have a plan, so I went to gradschool out at UC Berkeley. That’s what gotme out here in 1980. I worked for a while ateveryone’s favorite electric utility, PG&E,and then went back to business school atStanford.”

Dave started an investment banking com-pany with a focus on financing public pro-

jects like jails, parking garages, universities,wastewater plants, water supply projects,garbage disposal and such. He worked on the

financing for the PebbleBeach Reclamation Project,which is how he got hisintroduction to the businessof the Monterey Peninsula.He also arranged the financ-ing for the CastrovilleSeawater Intrusion Project,which delivers recycledwater to farmers.

“That was the mid-1990s,when they first began to lookhard at dealing with the sea-water intrusion problem.”Where before they couldonly grow crops that wouldsurvive in high-salinity con-ditions, now the farmersdon’t have that limitation.

Then his wife was offeredan excellent job in Boston, so they movedback East, and Dave turned up a new path. “Ibasically started funding and running earlystage start-up companies. Completely differ-ent. But it’s good training for what I’m doingnow, because they were all small-size organi-zations which required managing people andstrategic planning.”

He also was elected to the school boardthree times and appointed to the local landuse committee. “So I’ve always had one footin the public sector and one foot in the pri-vate sector,” he said.

Returning to the Peninsula to take the jobwith the water district was a challenge. “I

something that requires no major operationand maintenance, would be gravity fed, andprovide water of very, very good quality,” heoffered.

“There’s a reason people built dams.

They are very low maintenance and highlyefficient. But it’s a little different era thanwe’re in right now, and we’ve got two threat-ened species on the Carmel River. It’s hard toimagine that we could get a dam permit intoday’s environment,” he concluded.

You’d think the job would be an unendingstring of frustrations, but Dave has the expe-rience and the character to manage the situa-tion.

“I like puzzles and problems. Water onthe Peninsula is fraught with complications.In my organization, there are good people,and I like good people. I get to be a changeagent for water on the Peninsula, but also forthat organization itself.”

What does he do when he’s not working?“Go kayaking in Tomales Bay, go abalonediving, walk along 17 Mile Drive or get onmy bike.”

Dave lives in a condo in Pebble Beachnear CHOMP. “When it’s not foggy, I can seethe ocean and it’s gorgeous.”

started working 70-hour weeks and justimmersed myself in it quickly so that I couldcontribute quickly. But I’m vastly improvednow. I’m down below 60 hours a week. Thisis a challenging place and you have to hit theground running, so I did,” hesaid. “At least, I tried.”

For years, the water districtalways seemed to be stiflingprogress toward improving theMonterey Peninsula’s watersupply, instead of improvingit.

That’s changed now, Stoldt said, but hedoesn’t take the credit. Some of the boardmembership has changed. “The directionsthat folks have taken in the district have beenmuch more oriented to solving the watersupply, thinking bigger.”

The agency also has a new revenuesource, imposed amid controversy, thatenables it to advance water projects, such asgroundwater replenishment. He says not allthe water-supply eggs can go in the desalbasket.

“In a perfect world, you’d have diversifi-cation of resources, with a lower carbonfootprint, less discharge to the bay, loweroperating costs, all of the above,” he said.

While a desal plant looks likes it’s goingto be the biggest component of a new watersupply, Dave has a dream about a dam.

“If I could go back to 1995, I think wecould have funded the dam with what arecalled certificates of participation instead ofrevenue bonds, and done that without a vote.And we wouldn’t be in this position now. Forless than $150 million back then, you’d have

million and was “collaborating” with him onprograms to promote coastal conservation.

“We always dreamed of getting marriedin Big Sur, one of the most magical places onearth,” Parker was quoted as saying in thecoastal commission’s press release. “We areexcited to support these important conserva-tion-related projects for and with the localcommunity.”

However, readers of The Pine Cone, theSan Francisco Chronicle and other newspa-pers are scolding the commission for itsaccommodating attitude toward Parker andthe Ventana Inn — which reached its ownsettlement with the commission.

“They just gave a free pass to any billion-aire that wants to have an event in Big Sur,”according to a Pine Cone reader who did notwant to be identified because he might havefuture dealings with the coastal commission.“They basically said, ‘Just have the weddingand pay us later.’”

In a June 6 editorial, the Chronicleattacked the commission for being awareParker “was breaking the law” before thewedding day while gladly accepting his $2.5million after the fact.

“It’s all too conveniently cozy,” theChronicle’s editorial said. “One can onlyassume that the same courtesy will beextended to oil barons or Wall Street execu-tives when they want to alter a protected areafor the pleasure of their pals.”

Among Parker and his wife’s 300 guestswere Sting — said to have performed at thereception — English actress Emma Watson,Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and Jane’sAddiction singer Perry Farrell.

And, according to the Chronicle,California Attorney General Kamala Harrisand Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom were there.

“Neither Democrat has uttered a discour-aging word about Big Sir’s wedding at BigSur,” the Chronicle went on. “Hey, what’s alittle breach of environmental regulationamong friends?”

Chronicle readers aren’t showing anymercy for the coastal agency, either.

“Although I am a Democrat,” accordingto one Chronicle reader, “I believe thatNewsom and Harris are hypocrites.”

“There’s an old adage,” another personwrote. “It is easier to get forgiveness thanpermission. This is especially true if you arerich.”

‘No further damage’But coastal commission legislative direc-

tor Sarah Christie told The Pine Cone that itwouldn’t have made a difference if the com-mission had stopped the wedding.

“Coastal commission staff viewed thesite,” Christie said, “and concluded that anypotential environmental impacts from thedevelopment had already occurred, andwould not be made any worse by the wed-ding itself.”

The coastal commission was tipped off tothe development by Monterey County plan-ning officials on May 2 after they visited thesite the day before. The coastal commission“requested” on May 8 that the work stop,according to a lengthy staff report.

Work on the wedding “initially stopped”on May 9, according to the commission, andrecommenced on Wednesday, May 15.Ventana and Parker’s people told coastalcommission staff they had restarted thework, and commission staff warned themthat “they did so at their own risk of beingdetermined to have violated the Coastal Act’spermit requirements.”

Massive undertaking Parker and his a company, Neraida LLC

— created solely to manage the wedding —signed a lease deal with Ventana in Januaryto have exclusive use of the campground forthe wedding, according to the coastal com-mission report.

For three months, dozens of workersgraded existing camp sites and roads andbuilt an artificial stone pond, gateways, rockwalls artificial ruins of cottages and castlewalls, a stone dance floor, and brought inhundreds of potted trees, plants and flowers.Dozens of florists from Los Angeles andelsewhere were brought in for the wedding.Crews also installed port-a-potties, genera-tors, lighting and tents for the reception.

“Staircases were crafted around existinghabitat and redwood trees,” the report said.“An artificial pond was dug and installed. Astone bridge over the pond was constructed.”

The wedding site also featured a largefabricated Celtic cross and busts of Parkerand Lenas seemingly sprouting from rocks.Parker’s likeness (created with styrofoamand paint but made to look like stone) fea-tured a muscular chest with six-pack abs.

Damage to environment But the commission contends the devel-

opment could have lasting damage to thesensitive forest area. Construction workersfailed to install erosion control measures,

and development close to redwood treesthreatened to impede redwood propagation,according to the commission.

“The unpermitted development has thusimpacted the existing redwood forest habitatand has likely caused sedimentation of PostCreek,” a tributary of the Big Sur River, thestaff report said.

Furthermore, the development is causing“continuing resource damage,” according tothe report.

The commission is requiring detailedremoval, restoration and contingency plans,which shall be prepared by a restorationecologist. Crews are expected to begin dis-mantling the wedding set next week. Parkersigned the agreement May 30, two daysbefore his wedding.

“The removal plan shall include measuresto protect all native habitat, including red-wood and riparian vegetation, duringremoval activity,” according to the commis-sion report.

Problems mitigated Parker’s money, according to the commis-
