■ Senior housing under way after three-year permit process
By MARY BROWNFIELD
THE OLD Trevvett Court senior housingcomplex came crashing down this week to makeway for a 14-unit, two-story structure that willprovide more housing for low-income elderly res-idents. The project, which was proposed in early2006 and delayed for more than a year by theCalifornia Coastal Commission, is the latest majorendeavor of The Carmel Foundation, which pro-vides most of the low-cost housing for seniors intown and still has $1.4 million to raise to pay forthe new apartments, according to president andCEO Jill Sheffield.
“We’ve been working on this for so long, I can-not believe it’s actually happening,” she said. “It’sextremely exciting.”
SBI Builders Inc. in Monterey won the $2.53million contract for demolition of the old build-ings and construction of the new complex.Sheffield made frequent visits to the site early thisweek to watch the gigantic front loader tear intothe old structures and accumulate piles of debristhat were still being cleaned up Wednesday.

P.G. council picksmayor with a coin toss
By KELLY NIX
PACIFIC GROVE’S new mayor said she was justas surprised as everyone else when she found out herrole with the city was to be decided by the flip of a coin.
“Only in Pacific Grove,” Mayor Carmelita Garciatold The Pine Cone Thursday morning. “Talk aboutgoing outside the box.”
But when the six-member P.G. city councilWednesday night couldn’t come up with the fourrequired votes to select a mayor, a coin flip seemed tobe the only way to break a stalemate between her andcouncilman Bill Kampe.
In preparation of the coin toss, city attorney DaveLaredo pulled out a quarter.
“[Councilman Vicki] Stilwell called it,” Garcia toldThe Pine Cone after the meeting. “She picked heads forKampe and tails for me.”
As if to make sure it wasn’t a trick coin, city financedirector Jim Becklenberg and Stilwell examined bothsides of the quarter.

Mountain lion kill makes C.V. nervousBy KELLY NIX
THE DISCOVERY of a mountain lion-ravaged deer car-cass on a paved street in a well populated Carmel Valleyneighborhood has some residents on edge knowing a preda-tory cat is hunting just steps away from their front doors.
The deer, found Sept. 8 on Buena Vista Del Rio, had obvi-ously been the victim of a mountain lion, said resident JimSmith, who lives on the street and took photos of the grue-some carcass.
“It looks like it had been killed, and the cat drug it uphillabout 50 feet,” said Smith, who’s lived in the neighborhoodsince 1982 and until now has never seen evidence of an ani-mal killed by a mountain lion. The kill, across the street fromhis house, has many of his neighbors concerned.
“People are definitely worried,” said Smith, who hasgrown children and no pets. “They are more aware of keep-ing their pets in at night. Mothers are concerned.”
Killing what it’s ‘supposed to’Smith said the lion probably killed the deer sometime dur-
ing the early morning hours. He heard some dogs barkingthat night and a neighbor also reported hearing noise, but it’snot clear if what they heard was the attack.
Smith said he recently went to a party in the neighborhoodand people were talking about seeing a mountain lion.Apparently, a lion has been spotted on Esquiline andSouthbank roads at least twice in three weeks, he said.
Smith reported the deer carcass to the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game warden assigned to CarmelValley. “They were happy the mountain lion was going afterwhat it is supposed to,” Smith said.
A day or two after the carcass was found, someone placeda sign on nearby Esquiline Road warning people of a lion inthe area. “Warning Aggressive Mountain Lion,” the signreads. It goes on to say there have been “day and night sight-ings” and advises to “protect your animals and children.”

Cronkite’s momentous question: ‘How soon are you prepared to go?’
By PAUL MILLERFourth in a series
WHEN NBC News made me Tel Aviv bureau chief inthe summer of 1981, I headed overseas expecting my fouryears in the Middle East to be eventful. But I had no idea howtumultuous the news that lay ahead would be — including awar in Lebanon, riots over the Israeli withdrawal from theSinai Peninsula, invention of the suicide bomb, and constant,violent protests in Gaza and the West Bank.
On Wednesday, the P.G. City Council approved sweepingchanges to the city’s 7-year-old program, including increas-ing the rent of the “poet’s perch” and requiring poets to “haveexperience producing events.”
The council also left open the possibility that a non-poetcaretaker could occupy the poet’s perch — a house at 140

ATTORNEYS FOR California American Water will aska federal judge Friday to throw out a lawsuit filed by theSierra Club and a local fishermen’s group that would severe-ly restrict the amount of water the company could pump forits 40,000 Monterey Peninsula customers.
In June, the Sierra Club and the Carmel River SteelheadAssociation filed the suit, hoping the water company wouldbe ordered to reduce pumping from the Carmel River by 35percent in an effort to help the steelhead trout and red-leggedfrog populations.
But Cal Am community relations manager CatherineBowie said the water company will ask U.S. District CourtJudge Jeremy Fogel to dismiss the suit, which parallelsefforts by the State Water Resources Control Board toimpose pumping cutbacks.
“The SWRCB’s proceeding looks at the very same ques-tions being posed by the Sierra Club,” Bowie said. “The statehas expertise in this area and should be allowed to carry outits process without interference from lawsuits.”
In July, the SWRCB proposed a cease and desist orderagainst Cal Am to compel the company to drastically reducepumping from river. The order, which could severely limit theamount of water available to Cal Am customers, could beimposed by the board in October.
The conservation groups contend a severe cutback inwater production from the river is the only way to prevent thesteelhead from “being reduced to a remnant.”
“Restoring flows to the Carmel River and connectingheadwaters to the lagoon at the mouth,” fisheries biologistPeter B. Moyle wrote in an affidavit in support of the groups’injunction, “is therefore not only important for maintainingsteelhead in the Carmel River, but for keeping SCCC steel-head from going extinct.”
The Sierra Club and CSRA believe rationing and more
water conservation by water customers would be enough tomake up for the difference in the amount of water Cal Ampumps.
Water customers on the Peninsula consume less water perperson than in any other part of the state.
The Carmel River’s population of steelhead trout is clas-sified as “threatened” by federal wildlife officials, althoughthe species, Oncorhynchus mykiss, is plentiful around theworld, and is even considered invasive in some regions. Butthe local trout are “geographically distinct” and deserve to bestrictly protected, no matter how many of the species live inother rivers, streams and lakes, environmental groups say.
The federal judge could rule on Cal Am’s motion Fridayor issue a written decision later, Bowie said.

1996-2009Lexie, a somewhat goofy,
super-friendly 100 lb. femaleyellow lab, headed off to dogheaven (which probably resem-bles Carmel Beach with treats).For twelve years she was amember of the early beachpatrol, arriving around 6:30 a.m.and usually clear of the beachby 8 a.m. As a natural retrievershe felt it was her duty to keepCarmel Beach clean of dead
birds and other items of interest. Her greatest singleday was when she brought six cormorants and one“sea mammal part” (about 30 lbs. total) for her ownerto haul to the trash can.
She was also an avid recycler and recycled over1000 plastic bottles and aluminum cans found duringher walks around Carmel. She would haul them up toone mile in order to get a treat when she arrived at therecycle bin. She will be sorelymissed by all who knew her.
A special thanks to Dr.Williams and the staff atAguajito VeterinaryHospital and JoelJensen at Home Awayfrom Home Pet Spa, for thewonderful care they providedover the years.
Rest in peace, Lexie you sweetie.

By KELLY NIX
A SPOKESWOMAN for CommunityHospital of the Monterey Peninsula said thisweek’s elimination of a hospital directorposition and the closure of 20-bed nursingunit are part of CHOMP’s plan to reducespending by $37 million over the next coupleof years, which could include significant lay-offs.
Mary Barker said the hospital closed theGarden West surgical nursing unit Thursdayafternoon and has offered early retirement tothe unit’s director.
The moves are part of a cost-reductionplan that began in 2008 to pare about 8 per-cent of the hospital’s $440 million annualbudget.
“The cost-reduction plan looks at all ofour departments in the hospital to determineif we are operating efficiently,” Barker said.
The measures are not in response to a“crisis” but are “proactive” measures toensure the financial health of the hospital,she said. “We want to be able to weather anystorm,” Barker added.

Mission Trail park benefactor says, ‘Sell Flanders Mansion’By MARY BROWNFIELD
THE MAN who handed a significant chunk of land overto Carmel for what is now Mission Trail park urged city lead-ers more than 30 years ago to sell Flanders Mansion. Today,Bill Doolittle’s advice remains unchanged.
“The house has been more than adequately studied, interms of a realistic use,” he said this week. “Access is alwaysgoing to be a factor, and impact on the neighborhood reallylimits what can be done with the property.”
The historic mansion, purchased with taxpayer dollars inthe early 1970s, has been the subject of frequent debate overpotential public use. But several plans, including its becom-ing a culinary school or an art museum, have fallen flat, andrecent and current city councils voted to pursue its sale.
“It’s important it be put up for sale, with some deedrestrictions to preserve the character of the house and soforth,” Doolittle said. “It’s time to be realistic about this,because I don’t think they’ll ever come up with a use that willsatisfy or make the neighbors comfortable.”
And while opponents of the sale argue it would remove“the heart” of Mission Trail Nature Preserve, Doolittle dis-agreed. “Considering the community hasn’t had access to thehouse for so many years, it’s not like we’re being deniedsomething we had access to before,” he said. “We’ve neverreally had access to the house, and I think the property couldbe separated in such a way that it wouldn’t really have a neg-ative impact on the park.”
The 16 acres Doolittle transferred to the city in a combi-nation sale and gift had belonged to his uncle, RobertDoolittle, since the 1950s. Robert Doolittle had acquired theproperty in exchange for a parcel on Carmel Point.
His uncle wanted to preserve the property as greenbelt,and he planted redwoods and maguey bushes there. UponRobert Doolittle’s death, his nephew inherited the property in1969. For a while, a nearby stable owner grazed horses on theland for $15 per month, but Doolittle couldn’t keep thefences mended. He soon initiated talks with the city, whichled to the city’s acquisition of the land that is now the lowerportion of the Mission Trail park.
But a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Flanders Foundationon environmental and due-process grounds in November2005 thwarted the council’s effort to sell the mansion. Thecity has since revised the environmental impact report, con-ducted an economic feasibility study and again voted to sellit, with several deed restrictions and conditions to protectpublic access to nearby trails and views of the home.
To satisfy the law, the council is asking the voters ofCarmel to decide whether to keep or sell Flanders, a questionthat will appear as Measure I on the Nov. 3 ballot. The foun-dation sued the city again in June in another effort to halt thesale, again on environmental grounds.
Doolittle said he thinks foundation president MelanieBillig and her supporters should have focused on saving themansion by collecting funds to buy it and fix it up, ratherthan on suing the city at the expense of taxpayers.
“This group that wants to save Flanders Mansion, if theyhad started raising money 10 years ago, they probably wouldhave been able to raise enough by now to acquire it for them-selves,” he said.

THE PLAN to scan every issue of TheCarmel Pine Cone at the Carmel library so itcan be read on a computer and searched bykey words is unlikely to come to fruitionanytime soon, because the money to pay forit isn’t there, according to library directorJanet Cubbage. During the past two years,library funding has dropped by $80,000.
“It’s dead in the water,” she said Tuesdayof the project, which was proposed in early2008 and was to be funded by grants.
But it could be revived by the CarmelPublic Library Foundation, which raisesmoney to pay for programs and materials atthe city’s libraries. Tax dollars cover salariesand maintenance, but little else.
“We would be very eager to find grantfunding to support the endeavor, and that’ssomething I’m going to be working on,” saidAmy Donohue, the foundation’s new execu-tive director. “It’s a project that is importantto our local history librarian and will requireprivate donations.”
Retreat seeks answersDuring a retreat next week, Donohue and
CPLF board members will gather to combthrough a wish list compiled by Cubbage andthe library board. “We will be planning thevision and strategy and working plan for thisfiscal year,” she explained. “The board did aretreat last year, and I think it’s a very goodthing for us to be doing every year.”
The Pine Cone project is not high on thelist. “But I’m hopeful we can get back on it,because it would be a great service,”Cubbage said. “It’s still one of our goals. I
just don’t know when it’s going to happen.”At the top of the list — which was written
in order of priority but could be rearrangedby the CPLF during its retreat, according toCubbage — are $600 for the HomeworkHelp Online Database, which expires nextmonth; $5,000 for audiovisual materials atthe main library; $3,000 for nonfiction and$1,000 for fiction at the main library (whichwould match fiscal year 2007/2008 levels);$10,000 for the McNaughton Book Rentalplan; $2,500 for large-print books, $4,200for NetLibrary online downloadable ebooks;$400 for young adult books at the mainlibrary and $5,000 for its reference collec-tion; and $3,500 for books and audiovisualmaterials in the children’s library.
The list also calls for restoring the localhistory and youth reading programs to their2007/2008 levels of $2,000 and $1,000,respectively.
Other items include a $2,250 repair sys-tem for DVDs and CDs, a new circulationdesk in the children’s library ($15,000),reconfiguration of the main library’s circula-tion desk ($15,000 to $25,000), a music col-lection ($6,500 for materials, shelving andstaffing), $2,500 for an ADA-compliant deskand online catalog computer, $5,000 for asummer reading program for adults, and$2,000 for new signs, as well as several otherpieces of equipment and projects.
The list does not indicate where scanningThe Pine Cone is, in terms of priorities.Cubbage estimated it would cost $25,000.
“What I really want to see is books andprograms getting back to their funding levelsof two years ago,” Cubbage said. “$80,000 issignificant.”

The SPCA has four turtles — ranging in size from 5 to 9 inch-es — that are ready to be adopted.
Rescued turtles need expandable homes By KELLY NIX
THOUGH MOST people don’t think of turtles whenthey consider adopting a pet, the SPCA has four of the slowguys who are ready for a good home.
The aquatic turtles up for adoption by the SPCA forMonterey County have all been rescued, and require a pondor aquarium.
“We currently have four red-eared sliders available foradoption,” said SPCA spokeswoman Beth Brookhouser.
Though turtles can make great pets, one of the turtles theSPCA has up for adoption has “special needs,” she said.
“The large red-eared slider has a crack in her shell, so sheneeds to be taken out of the water every night to dry off,”Brookhouser said.
Sliders can live for 20 to 50 years with proper care, whichmeans they’ll grow, and so will the size of the enclosure
they’ll need over the years, she said. “We ask that all owners consider their long lifespan,” she
said. The smallest turtle, about 5 inches in diameter, was res-
cued after being found in the Carmel River. “The only way she would have been there is if she was
abandoned by an owner who no longer wanted it,”Brookhouser said.
Red-eared sliders are not a native species, and their pres-ence in the wild is dangerous for the turtle and the localecosystem, Brookhouser said.
The SPCA had six turtles until Wednesday, when two ofthem were adopted, she said.
The turtles, which range in size from 5 inches to 9 inchesin diameter, are at the SPCA Wildlife Rescue andRehabilitation Center.
“When people think about the SPCA, they usually picture
cats and dogs,” Brookhouser said. “But we are cats and dogs,and so much more.”

THE OWNER of a Second Avenue property with animpassible dirt driveway hoped the Carmel City Councilwould approve his request to construct one on public right ofway on Lopez Avenue Sept. 1. But Mayor Sue McCloud andcouncil members said they had too little information to deter-mine whether that solution was the best solution.
Zane Blackmer proposed installing a driveway that wouldlead to his home and a future building site on his 7,908-square-foot lot. With the property’s existing driveway uselessdue to its steepness and limited access from Second Avenue,which was closed as a through street following El Niñostorms a decade ago, Blackmer parks in the Lopez cul-de-sacand walks down a path to his home.
“The applicant proposes to replace the walkway off LopezAvenue, in addition to constructing the driveway, and intendsto build a new home at this site in the future,” planner MarcWiener said in his report to the council. “The design of thehome and the location of the onsite parking depend onwhether or not the driveway is approved.”
According to city law, a resident can construct a drivewayon public property as long as drainage, landscaping and otherissues are addressed.
When Blackmer made his request to the now-disbandeddesign review board in July, members determined “the turn-ing radius is too narrow to navigate when approaching the[existing] driveway in an eastbound direction from SecondAvenue, and it is not possible to approach the driveway froma westbound direction, since Second Avenue is closed fromthis direction,” Wiener said. Furthermore, the driveway can’tbe made functional, since grading the hillside would harmsignificant trees, according to city forester Mike Branson.
As a result, the board recommended city administratorRich Guillen approve the encroachment permit allowingBlackmer to build his drive-way, as long as he:
■ revised the landscapeplan to include more differ-ent types of trees;
■ submitted a drivewaygrade/drainage agreement;
■ created a plan to dealwith drainage on the hillside;
■ removed the existingdriveway and provided aplan for landscaping in thatarea;
■ indicated the locationand size of the new parkingarea; and
■ applied for anencroachment permit.
Wiener said public workssuperintendent Stu Ross didnot identify any drainageissues during the initialreview, and a Carmel policeofficer found no potentialsafety problems with theproposed driveway.
Guillen passed the permitapplication to the city coun-cil.
Traffic, safety, looksSeveral Lopez Avenue
residents who also park onthe street objected toBlackmer’s application, cit-ing increased traffic andparking problems, aesthet-ics, safety and drainage.They submitted letters andappeared at the DRB hear-ing, and at the Sept. 1 citycouncil meeting, they wererepresented by attorney JimHeisinger.
“We have an existing con-gestion issue at the end ofLopez,” he said, and arguedthat the city should not allowsomeone to use public prop-erty for his sole benefit.
The council also consid-ered letters the neighborswrote to the DRB in July.
John Savage said healready has trouble gettingout of his driveway due tocars parked on the street andargued Blackmer’s proposal“will only make a bad situa-tion worse.”

Council puts off contentious hillside driveway decisionwould “decrease the ‘look and feel’” of the neighborhood.
Sally Harper worried the driveway would make the cul-de-sac unsafe for her five visiting grandchildren, as users ofBlackmer’s driveway would have limited visibility when dri-ving out.
Lester Hibbard said it’s unnecessary and would be anunsafe eyesore that would end up costing the city money.
Marian and Ron Wormser, and Carol Bergere — who alsojointly opposed a house being built on the street below thembut lost that fight several months ago — argued against thedriveway.
In a handwritten note, Bergere said Blackmer should useSecond Avenue, and in a lengthy typed letter, the Wormsersstated the cars of full-time residents, and their housecleanersand gardeners, already crowd the end of Lopez.
“There have been plants knocked over, cars bashed, andthe noise of screeching tires as workers, lost motorists andthe like maneuver their cars or trucks toward the two steepdriveways and the applicant’s property, often rolling back-ward toward the homes,” they wrote. The Wormsers doubtedthe driveway proposal would meet city codes and guidelines,and said Blackmer should be required to access his propertyin a car and on foot from Second Avenue, only. They want thefootpath from Lopez eliminated.
A better alternative?At the Sept. 1 meeting, councilman Gerard Rose won-
dered if everyone’s needs could be met by reopening SecondAvenue. Guillen said the city engineer could examine thestreet to see what would be needed to shore it up, and he alsosuggested it could be made one-way from east to west, to bet-ter accommodate traffic.

SUNSET CENTER finished the year$91,944 in the red, board treasurer DaveParker told the Carmel City Council Sept. 1.
“I’m pleased to say that, given the eco-nomic turmoil that we all experienced lastyear, we ended the year very close to bud-get,” Parker said. “Our budget was preparedwell in advance of the meltdown in the econ-omy.”
The center’s 2008/2009 spending plananticipated $1,123,353 in operating income,plus a $713,000 subsidy from city taxpayers,and total expenses of $1,836,353. But rent,performances, and fees and other incomeamounted to $957,215 — $166,138 less than
anticipated, according to Parker’s report.Components of the income were:■ $318,007 in rent, which was $11,037
more than expected in the budget;■ performance revenue of $406,942,
which was $67,558 below target; and ■ fees and other income of $232,266 —
$109,617 less than anticipated.“We changed our strategy a bit last year,
where we lowered ticket pricing and attract-ed very high quality but perhaps lesserknown artists to perform,” he said.
“Any change is going to be difficult, but Ithink in a year like we had last year, eco-nomically, that’s probably not in hindsight agood year to make those changes.” However,scheduling performances also requires a lot
of advanced planning, and the new lineup atSunset was in the works well before theeconomy tanked, according to Parker.
He said the drop in ticket sales was due tothe center’s hosting two fewer shows thananticipated, and because people spent lessmoney on entertainment.
Expenditures finished the year $74,194under budget. Savings occurred in utilities,maintenance and insurance, which were$90,081 less than the $349,469 estimate.Ticketing services came in $39,833 lowerthan the budgeted $152,008. “We saved oncredit card fees, because there were feweronline orders,” Parker explained.
Regarding utilities, which have been afocus of cost cutting at Sunset for the pastfew years, he said, “I think we’ve probablysqueezed that stone about as hard as we can,but we’ve taken steps everywhere we could.”
Salaries and wagesMeanwhile, salaries and wages were
$33,282 over budget at $949,353, and per-formance expenses finished the year$22,438 higher than expected at $441,243.
“‘Footloose’ sold very well, but expensessimply came in much higher than budget,”Parker commented. “Our margins are verythin in show production.”
City councilman Ken Talmage askedwhere the $91,944 negative balance left thecenter’s accounts at the end of the fiscal year.
“I’m concerned about your cash posi-tion,” he said. “I wonder, after the $91,000,what does your balance sheet look like?”
Parker said the shortfall will “eat abouthalf of our unrestricted reserves.” SunsetCenter has $530,000 in reserve funds, butmost of it is dedicated to certain uses.
In conclusion, Parker told the council2009/2010 is looking better. “If the begin-ning of this year is any indication, it shouldbe a good year for us,” he said.
Upcoming shows at Sunset Centerinclude The Handsome Little Devils — whoperform a “vaudevillian melodrama” Oct. 2— comedian David Sedaris Oct. 28, andsingers 3 Mo’ Divas Oct. 30, with seminalrock band WAR, the inimitable John Cleese,blues man Keb’ Mo’ and other talented per-formers appearing later in the season.

Mother accused of hittingdaughter with broom handle
By MARY BROWNFIELD
AN OUTLOOK Drive woman avoidedarrest after being accused of hitting her 14-year-old daughter with a broom handle dur-ing a Sept. 12 fight, because the teen wasn’tseriously injured and was able to move inwith her dad, according to Monterey CountySheriff’s Cmdr. Tracy Brown.
Sunday’s altercation began while motherand daughter were driving. Brown was reluc-tant to part with details that might enableanyone to identify the girl.
“It’s an ongoing family dispute — we’vebeen out there before,” he said. “The fightstarted in the car on the way home, and thencontinued when they got home.”
At one point, the woman allegedly struckand injured her daughter with a broom han-dle. The girl later told a friend, who called
authorities, according to Brown. Deputiescontacted the girl, and she was taken toCommunity Hospital of the MontereyPeninsula for treatment of minor injuries.
“Child Protective Services was contactedand showed up at the hospital to interviewher, but we were able to contact the father,and he took custody,” Brown said.
Since the victim was safe and away fromthe mother, the investigating deputy decidednot to arrest the woman, but the case is beingsent to the Monterey County DistrictAttorney’s Office for possible prosecution. Ifthe D.A. decides to pursue the case — a deci-sion Brown said could take two to eightweeks — a warrant will be issued.
Meanwhile, the daughter is residing withher father, who lives out of the area.
“As long as the child is safe, that’s allwe’re concerned about,” he said.
FOCUS Monterey Beach PartyBy MARY BROWNFIELD
IN CELEBRATION of its 30th anniver-sary, the Friends of Carmel Unified Schoolswill host a fundraising party at Adventuresby the Sea in Monterey Friday, Oct. 2.

the Carmel Unified School District.Held at Tehama the past few years, the
fall fundraiser was moved to save money andattract more guests, according to Douglas.The party will feature drinks and hors d’oeu-vres, followed by a barbecue, as well assilent and live auctions, and dancing tomusic provided by Joshua’s Shadow.
Items in the live auction include a condostay in Hawaii, a dinner cruise on MontereyBay, a barrel tasting and winery tour for 12at Parsonage, and orthodontia.

hour back home in the United States. Looking back, it seems like not much has changed in the
Middle East. However, the region occasionally produces a bitof optimism, and my first brush with news from the area was-n’t a tragedy at all, but something that seemed to presage anera of peace for the Jewish state and the surrounding Arabnations that had vowed to destroy it. The story was about anunforeseen diplomatic breakthrough between EgyptianPresident Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister MenahemBegin. And Walter Cronkite was the person who instigated it.With a tiny bit of help from me.
Interviewing heads of stateIn the fall of 1977, just a few months into his term,
President Jimmy Carter was taking an active role in trying tobring peace to the Middle East, where all-out wars in 1949,1956, 1967 and 1973 were only the high points of violencethat had gone on for decades.
But while Carter was working throughdiplomatic channels, urging the conven-ing of a peace conference in Geneva,Cronkite and his executive producer, BudBenjamin, had the idea to take a moredirect approach.
No leader of an Arab nation had everbeen to Israel, and Egypt had long beenthe leader of Arab hostility toward itsJewish neighbor. Still, rumors were flyingthat Sadat might be willing to meet withBegin, and I got a call from Benjaminwhile I was working the Sunday foreigndesk at CBS News headquarters in NewYork.
“Ask the Cairo bureau to put in arequest for Walter to interview Sadattomorrow,” the soft-spoken Benjaminsaid. “And book a bird for 10 a.m.”
Satelliting from a Third World countrywas an uncertain business in those days.Even more unlikely: That a head of statewould grant an interview on such shortnotice. I had serious doubts it could bepulled off.
But before I went home Sunday, wordcame from Cairo that Sadat had agreed.He would even go to Egyptian TV for theinterview, since a live hookup from hisoffice wasn’t possible.
Monday morning, the entire CBSnewsroom stopped for a few minutes as
Cronkite took his anchorchair. In front of him, a TVmonitor showed the smilingface of Sadat, whose voicewas being fed from a dis-tance of 5,600 miles to a tinyspeaker in Cronkite’s ear. Atthe other end, Sadat couldn’tsee Cronkite (two-way satel-lites were never done andhardly exist even today), andit was an ordinary phone callthat enabled Sadat to hearthe famous anchorman’svoice. (A telephone providedby Egyptian TV had beendismantled by a Cairobureau soundman, whoattached alligator clips to thephone’s wires, sendingCronkite’s audio into a smallpiece in Sadat’s ear).
With all the technicalaspects working smoothly(they often didn’t), it wastime for the interview tocommence. Nobody had theslightest idea how importantit would turn out to be.
Cronkite began by askingSadat what his preconditionswould be for an Israeli visit,to which Sadat respondedwith a long list of familiarArab complaints about theactions — if not the exis-tence — of the Jewish state.
Cronkite then askedSadat again if these wereconditions that had to be metbefore he would considergoing to Israel.
The stories we covered were usually tragic, with innocentpeople regularly losing their property, their families and theirlives to forces beyond their understanding and control.
Early one Sunday morning in December 1983, for exam-ple, we had the sad duty to report that 252 U.S. Marines on apeacekeeping mission in Beirut were killed when a suicidebomber exploded a truck packed with TNT at the gates of theMarines’ barracks. The explosion took out the supportcolumns of the building, collapsing it on the sleeping soldiersinside. U.S. guards on duty that morning saw the truck speed-ing toward them and might have been able to halt its advance,except that, because the Marines’ mission was peaceful, theguards were carrying unloaded weapons.
The NBC correspondentsI worked with and I dutifullyreported what we knew,unaware that the conflictbetween Middle Eastern ter-rorists and our countrywould go on for decades.
Ironically, just a fewmonths before, as many as2,500 Muslim men, womenand children were ruthlesslymassacred by LebaneseChristian militiamen, whoblamed their victims fortheir country’s long civilwar. The video that arrivedin the Tel Aviv bureau fromBeirut that day was grue-some beyond belief, makingit difficult for us to isolate afew minutes suitable forbroadcast during the dinner

Sadat: “No, they are my conditions for peace. I am readyto go to Israel any time.”
Cronkite: “If you get a formal invitation, how soon areyou prepared to go?”
Sadat: “Really, I am looking forward to fulfill this visit inthe earliest time possible.”
Cronkite: “That could be, say, within a week?”Sadat: “You can say that, yes.”
‘Find out where Begin is!’As soon as the interview concluded, Benjamin rushed
from the Cronkite studio to the foreign desk, where I sat withmy colleague, Scotti Williston, and my boss, Brian Ellis.
“Get the Tel Aviv bureau to find out where Begin is andsee if you can arrange an interview for Walter right now!”Benjamin instructed. That was our cue to start scrambling.
The Israeli prime minister, it turned out, was attending afunction at the Tel Aviv Hilton, which made things a bit eas-ier for us. He agreed to talk to Cronkite, but satelliting fromthe hotel was impossible, and there was no time to get Beginto Israel’s sole feedpoint, at its earthstation in the hills over-looking Jerusalem.
So we arranged a phone call from Cronkite to Begin thatafternoon. A video crew from the Tel Aviv bureau tapedBegin’s video and audio from a conference room at theHilton, while Cronkite sat at his desk, holding a telephone tohis ear.
From previous page Cronkite: “Sadat hinted to me this morning, that hethought it might be possible that he would be going to Israel,if the invitation was forthcoming, within a week or so. Doyou think that’s realistic?”
Begin: “Well, if President Sadat is ready to come nextweek, I will have to postpone my trip to Britain, and I will,during the week, transmit a letter from me to Sadat, invitinghim formally and cordially, to come to Jerusalem.”
A few hours later, the separate interviews were assembledinto a blockbuster CBS Evening News that stopped the worldin its tracks and helped end 30 years of war between twoseemingly implacable neighbors.
The very next Saturday, a smiling Sadat stepped from hisairplane into the balmy air of an Israeli evening.
The international press quickly acknowledged Cronkite’srole in bringing the two leaders together, even as a crush ofreporters from around the world rushed to Israel to cover thetotally unexpected visit.
Two years later, Sadat and Begin signed the Camp Davidpeace treaty ending hostilities between their nations — apeace that holds today. The men, along with President Carter,also received the Nobel Prize for their accomplishment.
But there was also a heavy price. In 1981, when I wasnewly arrived in Israel as bureau chief for NBC News, one ofthe first stories I covered was the assassination of Sadat at thehands of Egyptian extremists who opposed their nation’s
peace treaty with Israel. Many lives were saved by the peace agreement he struck
with Begin, but Sadat paid for them with his own.

ROBBERFrom page 1A
lookout for the black SUV, Pacific Groveofficers gathered information on the crimeand examined surveillance video.
“At this point during the investigation, welocated a flier from Sand City telling us of asimilar robbery, and the suspect matched thesuspect in our video,” he said. That robberyoccurred several weeks ago, and investiga-tors discovered others had happened inMonterey, Marina and Morgan Hill.
“So we put together a task force veryquickly,” Nyunt said, and officers from dif-ferent Peninsula agencies worked togetherusing their shared database and a state photolibrary to identify their suspect.
Once they had a name to match the face,they initiated their search. Around 10 a.m.Wednesday, a Pacific Grove detective and adetective from Marina following leads in anunmarked car fortuitously saw Tiffany’sToyota SUV entering P.G. via Highway 68.They summoned other officers and initiateda felony stop, pulling the car over in theSafeway parking lot and drawing their gunsbefore approaching to arrest the driver.
Tiffany, whose Facebook page shows twosmiling, very young children, was taken intocustody without incident, and police seizedhis vehicle and got a warrant to search hishouse on Cypress Street in Monterey. There,Nyunt reported, they found evidence of therobberies, as well as packing supplies indi-cating he was sending drugs out of state.
“We found Oxycontin, as well as materi-als used for shipping,” Nyunt said. “I don’t
know what the motivation is, other thanmonetary.”
Tiffany was taken to Monterey CountyJail. Nyunt applauded Peninsula officers foreffectively working together and reportedfederal authorities are also involved in thecase, due to the allegation of shipping nar-cotics across state lines.
TREVVETTFrom page 1A
“The residents across the street had front-row seats,” she commented.
Weather permitting, Trevvett Court’s 14one-bedroom, 500-square-foot units willopen next July, according to Sheffield. Thecomplex will also include common areas andsix parking spaces. Pacific Grove architectEric Miller did the design.
Trevvett Court’s former residents wererelocated to other foundation-owned housingin the city and will have the first right toreturn to the new complex.
The foundation, which receives no taxdollars and is open for membership to any-one age 55 or older, is collecting donationsfor the project. Sheffield said those interest-ed in helping can call Linda Lee at (831)624-1588 ext. 52 or make a check out to TheCarmel Foundation, write “Trevvett Court”in the memo field, and mail it to P.O. Box1050, Carmel, CA 93921.
“It’s for the citizens of our community —the seniors who are struggling now morethan ever,” she said, adding that TrevvettCourt fundraisers are also in the works.

POETSFrom page 1A
willed her home to the city for the purpose of maintaining itfor poetry-related purposes.
Since then, three poets have held the position, receivingreduced rent in exchange for providing poetry-related com-munity services such as conducting workshops and teachinghigh-school students.
But the city’s Cultural Arts Commission, which overseesthe program, believes its poets should do more.
At its Aug. 10 meeting, the commission concluded thatsince the program’s inception in 2002 “the amount of poetry-related community service had not consistently met theexpectations of the commission, nor the intent” of the will.
That prompted the commission to seek applicants whohave “experience producing events.”
The reduced rent has made the home part of the city’saffordable-housing program, which restricted the program tolow-income poets. But the commission decided the rent
should go up, and the council agreed.With that change, the rent of the poet’s perch could dou-
ble, said Julie Uretsky, the city’s housing program coordina-tor. The previous poet-in-residence, Garland Thompson Jr.,paid just $565 per month.
That means poets who fall within the low-income catego-ry could still apply for the program but might not be able toafford the rent. It also means poets who make more money,who were previously excluded from applying, will now beallowed to, Uretsky said.
In 2002, nine people applied for the program, eight in2004 and three in 2007.
“In the past seven years, the city has had several inquiriesfrom people who say, ‘I’d love to participate, but I make a lit-tle more money,’” Uretsky said. “But they weren’t able toapply.”
Applicants to the poet program qualify if their work ispublished; they have taken coursework related to the study,writing and teaching of poetry; and have led workshops relat-ed to writing or poetry, or are qualified to teach the subject.
In a letter to the council this week, Esther Trosow sug-
gested a non-poet such as a city library worker could hold theposition, since the will states the house may be rented to a“caretaker” or poet.
The poet’s perch is available for “poetry readings, mainte-nance of a poetry library, for the study of poetry, or otherpoetic purposes,” according to the will.
The council said it would seek further direction from theCultural Arts Commission on the possibility of opening theprogram to a non-poet.
“The most important thing, I believe, is that we try reallyhard to meet the intentions of the will,” Uretsky said.

LIONFrom page 1A
COINFrom page 1A
Orr said in late summer when vegetation dries out, more deerthan usual move into residential neighborhoods, seeking foodand water.
And mountain lions go wherever deer go. “Lions are like-ly to track deer while they are foraging,” he said.
Though Carmel Valley is good mountain lion habitatbecause deer are plentiful, Orr said his agency has not had anincrease in reports of mountain lion sightings or attacks onwild animals or pets in Carmel Valley.
In fact, local wildlife experts said there have been fewerlion sightings this year than in previous years.
“We haven’t seen anything unusual,” said MarkStromberg, director of Hastings Reserve in Carmel Valley.
Field researchers who work at the 2,500-acre reserve reg-ularly work in mountain lion territory, but Stromberg saidthere have been only two sightings this summer, which hesaid is a relatively small number.
“We usually have about six to eight” sightings, he said.Reserve steward and Cachagua Fire Battalion Chief Jaime
del Valle said he’s also not had any reports of mountain lioninteraction with people.
“The field assistants are in the woods all the time,” delValle said. “I think it’s been an extremely average year” forsightings.
Though Orr said it’s good for people to stay cautious ifthey live in mountain lion territory, it’s rare for people to see
mountain lions, let alone be attacked by one.“Since 1890, in California, there have been only 14 veri-
fied attacks, with six fatalities,” Orr said. “It’s very rare theyattack humans.”
None of the attacks were in Monterey County. Nevertheless, fish and game urges people who encounter
a mountain lion not to run, but to “face the animal, makenoise and appear as large as possible.”
If attacked, the agency says you should “fight back.”

This deer was attacked by a mountain lion in a Carmel Valleyneighborhood. The photo was taken by a resident who livesacross the street from where the carcass was discovered.
Underground art eventA GROUP of photographers who prefer the traditional
method of developing photos in a darkroom to producingthem digitally will display their work in a seldom open studioin Pacific Grove this weekend.
The 2016 Sunset Collective Saturday, Sept. 19, will hostthe Photographic Art of Greg Mettler, Robin Robinson, TomBirmingham and Alli Wood.
The collective is a group of serious photographers whoshare a wet darkroom and studio, creating traditional andmodern versions of the black and white genre.
At 8 p.m., artists’ video shorts will be shown in the studio,which is only open to the public a few times a year.
The event is from noon to 10 p.m. at 2016 Sunset Drive, inthe Russell Service Center across from Hayward Lumber inPacific Grove.
Laredo then flipped the coin while everyone watched itfall. There was a momentary silence in the packed chambersbefore the quarter hit the carpet.
It was tails.Stilwell extended her hand to Garcia and said,
“Congratulations, you are the mayor.”“I never expected that,” Garcia said.The council had been split 3-3. Council members Lisa
Bennett and Alan Cohen cast their vote for Garcia, whilecouncilwomen Deborah Lindsay and Stilwell voted forKampe. Garcia replaces former Mayor Dan Cort whoresigned Sept. 1.
Garcia kept the quarter and intends to frame it.“I’m just thrilled to death,” she said. “However, if the out-
come would have been different, I would have been just ashappy for Bill Kampe.”
Former city councilman Ken Cuneo suggested to thecouncil a coin be flipped to decide the outcome.
As for her mayoral plans, Garcia said she intends to meetwith newly chosen city manager Tom Frutchey to discuss thecity’s next steps. But Garcia said she wants to bring back the“community sense.”
“As councilwoman Bennett stated, I feel I’m going tocomplement the new city manager,” Garcia said.
Garcia was elected to the council in November 2008 andwill serve until the November 2010 election.
“I’m very excited,” she said. “I have a lot of hope for the
city.”Frutchey, who had been manager of Oxnard and Campbell,
attended Wednesday’s meeting as an observer. His first day onthe job is Oct. 5.
“I really believe he is going to be great for the city,” Garciasaid.
Earlier in the evening, Stilwell announced her resignation,more than one year before her term is up.
Stilwell, who was mayor pro tem, said her last day wouldbe Friday, Sept. 18.
“I want to thank the community for letting me serve you,”Stilwell said at the meeting. “It has been an incredible experi-ence.”
Kampe was appointed by the council Wednesday to serveas mayor pro tem.
DRIVEWAYFrom page 9A
everybody, at the lowest cost,” Rose said. “I don’t like havingunused roads, especially at that location.”
And without knowing whether the road is safe, Rose saidhe couldn’t decide on the driveway.
But Blackmer argued the use of Second Avenue wouldmake no difference. “The majority of my challenges are notdue to whether Second Avenue is open or closed — it’s theslope,” he said.
The design review board unanimously voted to supportthe application, Blackmer pointed out.
“Notably, they also made the point the opponents havecreated the problem of congestion themselves, and said theissues of safety were overstated,” he said. “We need to have adriveway on Lopez, because it’s safer and provides easieraccess to our property.”
McCloud worried about drainage and fire mains in thearea, and asked why the driveway wasn’t staked and flagged.She also didn’t like the idea of approving a driveway thatwould lead to a home yet to be designed.
“I have a really hard time approving this without actuallyseeing height poles and lines on both sides,” councilwomanPaula Hazdovac agreed, and councilwoman Karen Sharp sug-gested sending the application to the planning commissionfor more research and work.
“I just think there’s information missing here,” comment-ed councilman Ken Talmage.
Guillen said staff could handle most of the questions, suchas the locations of utilities and fire mains, but if SecondAvenue could be reopened and made into a one-way street,that issue would have to go before the planning commission.
Talmage suggested putting off a vote on Blackmer’s per-mit until the questions are answered, and the council unani-mously agreed.

ANYONE WHO loves traditional Irish music but can’tspring for a trip to the Emerald Isle can get the next best thingfrom Martin Hayes.
Hayes, who performs with guitarist Dennis Cahill Sunday,Sept. 20, at Chautauqua Hall in Pacific Grove, is one of theworld’s most acclaimed players of traditional Irish music.And, thankfully, because he lives part-time in Connecticutand frequently tours the United States, his music is familiarand accessible to domestic Irish music aficionados.
Born in the town of Maghera in County Clare, Hayes wasraised in an environment rich with traditional Irish music.Unlike a typical American youngster, he heard very little popmusic.
“Growing up in Ireland, I heard mostly Irish traditionalmusic,” Hayes told The Pine Cone. “It was a part of everygathering. The melodies were always in my head.”
Surrounded by musicians, Hayes simply couldn’t resistjoining in on the fun.
“When I was about 7, I got a half-sized fiddle,” he
recalled. “My father was a musician, but there was no pres-sure on me to play. It was something I really enjoyed andwanted to do.”
His talent nourished by his family encouragement and hiscountry’s heritage, Hayes evolved into a world-class musi-cian. “If you look at our history, we don’t have a lot of mili-tary or political influence,” said Hayes, who won six All-Ireland fiddle championships as a teenager and was namedFolk Instrumentalist of the Year in 2000 by BBC Radio. “Butwe do have a lot of writers, musicians and poets.”
Hayes has collaborated with Cahill since the pair met inthe 1980s. A native of Chicago and the son of first-genera-tion Irish parents, Cahill has teamed up with Hayes on threeduet recordings. His sparse guitar serves as the perfect back-ing for Hayes’ dazzling instrumental work.
The concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and$22 at the door. Discounted tickets are available for membersof the Celtic Society of the Monterey Bay. Chautauqua Hallis located at 162 16th St. Tickets are available at The Works(667 Lighthouse Ave. in Pacific Grove) or by calling (408)847-6982.

DAMIEN GEORIS’ CROSS-CONTINENT WINEMAKING JOURNEYBy MARY BROWNFIELD
THEIR LAST names — and the Internet — broughtthem together.
More than four years ago, Belgian Damien Georis movedhalfway across the globe to become winemaker for GeorisWinery in Carmel Valley, where he artfully turns outBordeaux-style wines and also produces several hundredcases under his own label, Madeleine.
“I met Walter [Georis, the Carmel Valley winery’s owner]
to work for him,” Damien recalled.He hopped a plane for a week-long visit that November
and made his mind up a few months later to accept the offer.Damien said he was sad to leave his friends, his girlfriend
and his beloved France, where he had lived for years aftermoving there to study wine.
But “Carmel is a nice place, and it was kind of hard to say,‘No,’” he said. In addition, the change presented a challenge,
because we had the same last name,” he explained. Walter’sson had Googled “Georis,” which led Walter to emailDamien at a chateau in Bordeaux, where he was working aswinemaker.
Both families are from Belgium, Damien Georis said.“We haven’t found the link, yet, but we know Walter’s grand-dad and my dad’s granddad lived in the same village.”
Walter visited Paris in 2003, and the newly discoveredpossible relatives had dinner. “And in the summer of 2004, hecalled me again and asked me if I was interested in coming

and the winery is small, allowing him to do more than makewine.
“Here, I can manage everything — even be in sales,” hesaid.
But the clincher was getting permission to also make hisown wine, which he named after the family friend who bol-stered his appreciation by sharing the contents of her $3,000cellar.
“He said, ‘Yes,’ and that’s something that would have beenhard to make in France, unless you can buy some land,” hesaid.
Here in Monterey County, he makes wine in the tradition-al Bordeaux style, just as his employer demands.
“It’s the same recipe, but working with a different climateand soil,” he said. “Alcohol level is a challenge here.”
That’s because the ideal balance of sugars and tannins atharvest time tends to yield rich fruit that ends up being high-er in alcohol, since the sugar content is high.
“That’s definitely the challenge, because I’m not a big fanof really heavy alcohol wine,” he said, but he applies hisskills to find a balance.
His favorite varietal is Cabernet Franc, which hails fromFrance’s Loire Valley and is frequently used in the AmericanBordeaux-style blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlotknown as a Meritage (which rhymes with “heritage.”)
“It’s a more elegant grape that has really refined flavors,and it usually tends to reflect the soil,” he said. “It’s not aheavy and big tannic grape, and if it’s well made, it’s got nicetannins and is easy to drink.”
For Georis, he blends Cabernet Franc with a bit of Merlot.When making Cab Franc for Madeleine, he blends in a littleSyrah.
“I’m going to make the wine as best I can, whether it’s forme or for Walter,” he said. “The difference will be in theblend.”
At maximum crush capacityWalter and his wife, Sylvia, collaborate with him on their
wines, but “at Madeleine, I’m the only one, so this is mydecision, from A to Z.”
He made 600 cases of wine under his own label, includ-ing 100 cases of Pinot Blanc called L’Arsouille (which hesaid is “a nice way to say, ‘Party Boy,’” since it’s an easy-drinking wine).
His Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee “is a blend ofselected wines, rather than grapes I buy and crush,” heexplained. “We are pretty much at maximum crush capacityright now at Georis, so I cannot expand my own brand bycrushing more grapes.”
During harvest, he wouldn’t have the time, anyway, sincehis primary obligation is as Georis’ winemaker.
“So I thought there wasan opportunity in theseoverproduction times to findreally good wines in bulkand create a great, afford-able Cab blend,” he contin-ued. “In doing so, I amusing the tanks and equip-ment at a different time ofthe year, when the tanksaren’t usually used.”
The jewel in his Madeleine portfolio bears a pink labeland “will always be my favorite and my best,” made withfruit he has watched over and selected himself. The 2006 vin-tage features a Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend, but 2007will return to Cabernet Franc. He limits production to 200cases.
Whether making wine for himself or his boss, Damiensummarized his goal in a single statement: “The last glass inthe bottle should taste better than the first one.”

ANYONE WHO stayed away from Hanagasa in Carmeldue to the grime factor and chef prone to sneezing fits shouldreturn to check out the recently purchased and remodeledsushi restaurant. A month ago, sushi chef Jonggeol Sim andhis partner purchased the small Eighth Avenue space, thor-oughly cleaned it up, gave it a paint job and installed nice
touches, like paper lanterns and new bamboo floors. Thegreen fish tank and sticky tables are things of the past.
But much of the menu, as with the name, remainsunchanged, as do the reasonable prices. The quality is good,with tightly wrapped rolls and fresh fish, and Sim obviouslytakes care in his craft. He has added a few special rolls of hisown, including the tasty Boston Roll — a California Rolltopped with diced scallops in a spicy sauce — and the Funny
Roll, which contains diced fish and is deep fried, then toppedwith sauce.
Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and dinner isoffered from 5 to 9 p.m. For more information, call (831)625-4470. Hanagasa is located on the north side of EighthAvenue between San Carlos and Mission streets in downtownCarmel.
■ Tastes like chickenThere’s a festival for everything. Nonetheless, it might
surprise people to learn that historic San Juan Bautista hostsan annual Chicken Festival & Parade, and the next one is setfor Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19-20. Chickens and roostershave long roamed the streets of the Mission town, so why notcelebrate them?
Sponsored by the San Juan Bautista Chamber ofCommerce and several local businesses, the festival runsfrom 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and features antiques, artsand crafts booths, and live music.
Sure highlights will be the 3 p.m. crowning of the FestivalChicken Queen and the 4 p.m. crowing contests (“human andfowl”) Saturday, and the 11 a.m. parade, 1 p.m. ChickenBingo, 1 p.m. cooking demonstration by Dorothy McNettand 2:30 p.m. Chicken Dance Contest Sunday.

CHOMPFrom page 4A
It’s possible workers could be laid off next year. “InOctober, we will be offering early retirement in the depart-ments that need reductions,” she said.
If the hospital determines it still needs to reduce more ofits workforce, it will offer severance packages to some eligi-ble employees in February, Barker said.
“Only if we don’t meet those goals with those two steps,would we go with layoffs in March,” she said. “Obviously, wehope that doesn’t happen.”
Until CHOMP’s 2010 budget has been completed, whichcould be done within a couple of weeks, Barker said the hos-pital doesn’t know how much its staff might need to bereduced. CHOMP has about 2,200 workers.
Barker said even though Garden West closed, it will stillbe used for overflow. Nurses assigned to the unit will workelsewhere in the hospital, she said.
Regardless of the reductions, Barker said patients won’tnotice a difference a the hospital and will receive the samecare.

A MORNING gas-main break that necessitated theevacuation of Carmel High School Monday was mended intime for a noon groundbreaking ceremony on the school’s$9.2 million theater project.
At 10:30 a.m. Sept. 14, a subcontractor working in anexcavator on the building site near the parking lot punctureda 4-inch high-pressure gas main, according to district opera-tions manager Dan Paul. The worker immediately notifiedthe school, and an administrator dialed 911.
“One hundred percent of the staff and students were evac-uated to the football field, and it went very smoothly, just asplanned,” Carmel Unified School District superintendentMarvin Biasotti said. More than 700 students, 50 teachersand 15 administrators gathered on the field, while principalRick Lopez and members of the maintenance crew assistedby directing people and providing information, according toBiasotti.
Sheriff’s deputies, Carmel police and Cypress Fire crewsclosed off access to the campus and worked to shut down themain, which was capped by PG&E workers at 10:55 a.m.,Paul reported. Students, teachers and staff returned to class,but the entire campus was without natural gas until aboutnoon.
Golden shovelsAlso at noon, members of the CUSD board of education,
Biasotti, Lopez, teachers, contractors, architects and students
A double groundbreaking at Carmel Highdonned hard hats and gathered on the building site aside alarge pit for a ceremonial groundbreaking. Board membersgrasped golden shovels shoved into a pile of dirt and grinnedfor cameras marking the momentous occasion of construc-tion beginning on a project years in the making.
The state-of-the-art theater, designed by KasavanArchitects, will be built by DMC Construction, which wonthe $7.96 million contract. The building will accommodatestudents in vocal and instrumental music, dramatic arts andvideo production, and several were on hand at the ground-breaking Monday.
The job will entail more than 16,000 square feet of newconstruction and 3,300 square feet of renovated classrooms.The heart of the complex will be the 350-seat theater, com-plete with a proscenium stage that can accommodate largesets, and the building will also contain a lobby, green room,restrooms, dressing rooms, storage, ticket office and admin-istrative area. It will contain the latest technology and greenmaterials.
After board members stuck their shovels back in the pileof earth, president Dan Hightower thanked those assembled.
“This is the culmination of many years of hard effort andvision,” he said.
The theater is scheduled to open to students and teachersby early 2011. It will be named for Bertie Bialek, who donat-ed $1 million to the project. Most of the balance is comingfrom bonds approved by voters in the district in 2005, and taxdollars from a $750,000 state technology grant will be usedas well.

The Carmel Pine Conewas established in 1915 and is a legal newspaper for
Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County and the State of California, established by Superior Court Decree No. 34750.
1975
Health care for illegalsWHILE THE nation’s attention is focused on whether the healthcare bill
being debated in Congress will cover illegal immigrants (which the public over-
whelmingly doesn’t want), another disturbing fact is being overlooked: Our cur-
rent system of free and low-cost healthcare for the elderly and the poor isn’t
supposed to cover illegal immigrants, yet tens of billions of dollars end up being
spent on them anyway. The situation is especially bad in California and gets
worse every year.
■ The Los Angeles Times recently reported that in 2005, California spent
$883 million in tax dollars providing healthcare to illegal immigrants and their
newborn babies. The figure includes $108 million delivering babies, $59 mil-
lion for prenatal care and $3 million for abortions. The federal government
matches most of those services dollar for dollar, which means California tax-
payers spent twice that amount via their state and federal tax returns.
■ According to the California Department of Health Care Services, in 2005
there were 547,428 babies born in California hospitals. Of these, 251,926 were
delivered with taxpayer dollars. The CDHCS doesn’t break out the numbers for
babies born to illegal immigrant mothers, but the numbers are obviously sub-
stantial; one estimate puts them at 45 percent.
■ Roughly 19,000 illegal immigrants are in California state prisons, accord-
ing to the L.A. Times. Medical care for them costs at least $200 million a year,
the newspaper said.
With all that money being spent where it’s not supposed to be, it’s no wonder
many people believe any program to expand the availablility of free or low-cost
healthcare will end up covering a lot of illegal immigrants, no matter how often
they’re told it won’t.
Racism? You must be kidding
THE EDITOR of another local newspaper wrote an opinion piece this week
blaming racism for the reaction to Serena Williams’ temper tantrum at the U.S.
Open Sunday and Kanye West’s hijacking of the Video Music Awards that same
night.
Excuse us, but in a country where so many African-Americans are showered
with riches and public adoration for their achievements in sports, enterntain-
ment and politics, not to mention business, the law and many other fields, do we
still have to keep proving we’re not a nation of bigots just because some
African-Americans are criticized?
It seems to us that reverse racism is what’s actually at work when wealthy,
prominent people such as Williams and West are not supposed to be account-
able for their actions, and that the condescension behind it is more damaging to
the dignity of African-Americans and does more to belittle their achievements
than the opposite.
‘Simple solution’Dear Editor,
Although burdened at the moment with asignificant hurdle, the ideal solution toCarmel’s Flanders dispute is simple. It is todemolish the house and return the land itoccupies to the pristine wilderness that exist-ed when the Mission Trail was first estab-lished over 200 years ago.
Potential public use for the house hasbeen proved after more than 30 years to beonly a dream. The house, although architec-turally attractive on the exterior, is no moreremarkable than similar properties here, andit certainly has no historical significanceother than being owned by another wealthyfamily, thus questioning its current historicaldesignation. Furthermore the house is inbad shape and functionally unworkable with
only one bedroom, its front entrance at itsrear and with about one-third of its spacedevoted to dreary servants quarters. Makingit livable would entail major costly revisions.
The value of the land, if sold, would easi-ly exceed the value of the house by 10-foldto 20-fold. The park thus would lose itsmost dramatic area with incomparable viewsof the Carmel Mission, and the littoral of theCarmel River entering the Pacific withCarmel Bay and Point Lobos in the back-ground.
Are we prepared to part with such a trea-sure for the sake of momentarily enlargingthe city coffers? Isn’t it better to retain theland for posterity without the house?
Olof Dahlstrand, Carmel
A ‘mistake’ to buy itDear Editor,
How is a big empty house in a residentialneighborhood parkland? It was a mistake in1972 for the city to have purchased theFlanders Mansion. I realize, however, andremember that it was a package deal at thetime. The house and the surrounding acreageas one property.
It was great that the city preserved thesurrounding wildlands and turned them intoa well maintained walking parkland, but tothink an old empty home is an asset to thecity was a mistake. History — over 30 yearsof it — has shown that nothing productivecan come of this arrangement. There is asmall but vocal group that wants to keep this

Financially viable?Dear Editor,
Proponents of incorporation have always concurred thatthe new municipality is not financially viable without includ-ing the shopping centers and hotel located next to Highway1. But this meant that neighborhoods in the lower valley andat the mouth would be cut away from their historic commu-nity identity, which is the Greater Carmel Area. Residents areunderstandably against being forced into identification witha civic and commercial center 11 miles to the east in CarmelValley Village.
As a lifelong resident of the valley and 30-year resident ofthe Village, I can respectfully say that the feeling is mutual.It is my contention that starting with the loss of our Bank ofAmerica branch and other key community institutions, thevillage has been in a steady decline for the past 25 to 30years. This is largely due to the trend toward consolidation ofthe valley in the mid-valley area. As evidenced by our fireand school districts, the greater Carmel area, which in manyminds includes the mid-valley area, has a tendency to domi-nate valley politics. It has been close to 20 years since we hada CUSD trustee with a 93924 address.
The Carmel Valley Master Plan Area is just that, a plan-ning area. It is not a community. It is made up of distinctcommunities which must retain their historic social, cultural,civic and commercial identities. In my opinion, the LAFCOprocess was found to be wholly inadequate in exploring thisdynamic. But, lucky for the proponents, this proposal willnever need LAFCO approval again. That means, shouldMeasure G fail, they will be able to bring the question back,albeit with new fiscal analysis and revenue neutrality agree-ments, in two years, or sooner if LAFCO finds this restrictionwould be “detrimental to the public interest.” With this inmind, it is prudent for voters to say, “No,” to incorporation atthis time. If proponents can adequately resolve issuesLAFCO could not, they can try the voters again.
Paul J. Ingram,Carmel Valley
‘Don’t be fooled’Dear Editor,
When most of the businesses and homeowner associationsat the mouth of Carmel Valley asked to opt out of the pro-posed city of Carmel Valley, LAFCO and cityhood propo-nents argued that that would render the city financially unvi-able. Everybody had to be in or the city could not survive.
But at the last minute, LAFCO commissioners voted toexclude the most of the exclusive Tehama development.Next, Quail Lodge announced its closure, evaporating over$500,000 of expected transient occupancy taxes. And, final-ly, property values continue to plummet in the valley, lower-ing property tax revenues. Who is going to pay for this short-fall if a city is created?
Remember, proponents said a new city would not cost tax-payers a single extra penny. Of course, when a city is strick-en with huge deficits and red ink, taxpayers always seem tobe the ones to make up the difference. And if taxpayers balkat forking over more of their money in higher sales and prop-erty taxes, city officials will threaten that without additionaltaxes, police and fire services will be severely cut.
Don’t be fooled by slick-talking political con artists. VoteNO on Measure G. We need neither a city nor five morepoliticians.
Lawrence Samuels, Carmel
A Short History of incorporation Dear Editor,
The idea of incorporating Carmel Valley as a city (laterrevised to call it a town) was born in the frustrations of agroup of individuals who served on the Carmel Valley LandUse Advisory Committee. Over time, the committee had coa-lesced into a group of like-minded individuals who came tobelieve they represented the interests and beliefs of the val-ley as a whole and could therefore speak for all residents onland use matters.
This view was not shared by the planning commission orboard of supervisors of Monterey County. The members ofthese boards preferred to believe the committee was onesource of information, but not the only one. They had otherways of hearing from valley residents, which gave theminformation they could not ignore.
In time this festered into a breakdown of relationsbetween the committee and the county. The incorporationdrive was brought under way.
After suitable adjustments to ensure the capture of busi-ness-related revenue from the mouth of the valley and aridge-line to ridge-line span for the other boundaries, the pro-posed city was set to be (a) “awash in money” and (b) justi-fied as a responsible planning exercise. The Monterey
County Board of Supervisors was identified as the countyagency most responsible for the mishandling of CarmelValley over the years, and any valley residents who opposedthe incorporation were designated as supporters of developerinterests.
I assume this means there is no legitimate way of voicingopposition to this incorporation. However, I think we nowknow it is fiscally doomed to go the way of Quail Lodge andother venues of local enterprise, so it may not matter.
