HE CITY’S efforts to figure out the best means of
lighting the Ocean Avenue medians to provide ambiance,
interest and safety will move to the next step Friday, when
a two-and-a-half-week demonstration of nine different
lighting strategies begins. At the end of the period, a planning commission subcommittee will hold a workshop on
the ideas, beginning with a walking tour of the lights at 5
p.m. Dec. 8.
Discussed at length at a workshop in September, the
options for lighting the median were whittled down to six:
mini lights with no uplighting, existing landscape and signage lights with no mini lights, strings of both brighter and
dimmer mini lights, enhanced landscape lighting with
more uplighting and downlighting, pinpricks of light projected onto the trees, and installation of gas-style street
lamps at the ends of the medians near the crosswalks.
In fact, the switch will be flipped on nine different lighting schemes as darkness falls Nov. 21, according to planning and building director Rob Mullane, including some
involving colored lights.
“Of the six options at the workshop, they decided there
were a few other treatments worth showcasing,” Mullane
told The Pine Cone Thursday. “I think there are nine, but a
lot of those are just different variations of the main six that
we were talking about.”
The different setups were designed and mostly installed
by Carmel Plaza operations manager Jim Griffith and

a sign in the window.
In fact, the business closed because it is out of money.
Homescapes filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Nov. 1, citing
$201,015 in assets and $600,890.30 in liabilities. Adding to
its troubles, the bankruptcy trustee responsible for selling off
its assets to try to pay back creditors filed a “notice of abandonment of personal property” Nov. 14 after determining that
most of the claimed $200,000 in furnishings and other items
for sale in the store were on consignment, and should therefore be returned to their rightful owners. Furthermore, the
brothers owe “considerable back rent” at the rate of $5,500
per month, and a court judgment in a lawsuit filed by Union
Bank for nonpayment of a loan resulted in a $60,000 lien
against the business.
ESIDES DETERMINING whether slant wells will
supply enough water for its desal plant and how much desalination that water will require, California American Water’s
test well approved by the California Coastal Commission last
week will be used for a national research project on human
pathogens.
Cal Am’s parent company, American Water, has received
a $200,000 grant from a private foundation to study the level
of pathogen removal when seawater migrates through the
ocean floor and is drawn into a slant well.
Such wells are considered environmentally superior for
marine life because they don’t kill small fish and other creatures, the way open ocean intakes do. However, the study —
partially funded by WateReuse Research Foundation — will
look at whether bacteria and parasites found in sea water are
filtered out as the water moves through the ground on its way
to the well, and what additional steps might be necessary to
make the water safe for human consumption.
If the pathogens aren’t there, “the result could be significant savings in treatment costs for desalination projects that
employ slant well technology,” Rich Svindland, Cal Am
director of engineering, said. “Because this question has yet
to be studied, our findings will be extremely valuable for
water resource managers and policy makers across the country.”
Zia Bukhari, a scientist with American Water, said the
data gleaned from the project will be important to the water
industry as a whole since interest in desalination

ESPONDING TO reports of a fire at a house on
Carmelo Street the afternoon of Oct. 25, firefighters and
police officers arrived to discover that the cable TV boxes
connected not just to that home, but to six, had burned, causing minor to moderate damage to the homes’ exteriors.
The cause of the strange incident, PG&E later told the fire
department, was that a transformer failed a street away, energizing the normally low-voltage Comcast cable line with
high-voltage power, which then ran through the cable to the
homes, where it shorted out the boxes and caused the fires.
“Initial arriving crews found scorched cable boxes,” said
acting Monterey Fire Division Chief Barry Perkins. “And I
believe one of the boxes actually had flames.”
After putting out that fire, they visited the neighboring
homes to determine how widespread the problem was.
“None of the fires had extended to the interiors, and there

TAFF WITH the State Water Resources Control Board
could decide as early as December whether they are willing
to extend the deadline for a severe water cutback order on the
Monterey Peninsula set to take effect Jan. 1, 2017.
Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett and about 20 other local
officials had a roughly three-hour meeting with state water
board staff members in Sacramento Nov. 7 to discuss the possibility of pushing back the cutback order deadline by two
years. While no agreement was firmed up then, it’s possible
one could be hammered out during a December meeting,
though Burnett said it’s likely they will have to go back to the
bargaining table after that.
“I want to remain optimistic that what we propose will be
accepted, but I want to be realistic,” Burnett told The Pine
Cone.
Regardless whether the state water board makes a decision in December, the request by local officials is significant.
The cutback order that the state imposed in October 2009
could be financially devastating to Peninsula restaurants,
hotels and other businesses.
Burnett said next month he and the other water officials
will formally request that the state water board’s staff extend
the 2017 deadline, provided that milestones are reached during the next two years, including the construction of Cal
Am’s desal plant test well, completion of the environmental

H
ARUKO IS a very large, very young
Bernese mountain dog. Although “Haru” means
spring or sunlight, and “ko” means child in
Japanese, Haruko is actually Swiss. Her beloved
person is a makeup artist for a famous opera
house, so Haruko is growing up with an appreciation for cultural diversity, grand theater and
all the attention that comes with it. Her greatest
love just might be her person’s boyfriend;
although she has a particular passion for cats
and small dogs.
“Haruko tries to cuddle cats with her paw,
and give them a little kiss,” her person says,
“even though the cats clearly aren’t amused.”
Haruko, however, is easily amused. In the
absence of animated playmates, she has adopted the vacuum cleaner as her absolute favorite
toy. But only when it’s on.
Although most canines are carnivores,
Haruko is largely vegetarian. She eats sushi and
fruit, mainly melons, but no meat, only fish.
She has been to the beach, but she prefers
the ponds and fountains in local parks, to the
sea. Enchanted by stormy weather, she loves
beyond measure to stand in the rain and will
do so until called in. She also loves to cuddle up
inside, sleeping with her back legs twisted one
way, and her upper torso turned the other.
Haruko never leaves her person’s side at the
opera house, not because she gets treats, but
because she craves attention. Clearly quite
intelligent, she has become an accomplished
actress, especially when she has done something wrong, in which case she goes into dramatic denial. Because her person is a theater
artist, Haruko has become a bit of a stage hound,
always on alert for a photo opp. She is particularly
proud of her huge, fluffy tail, which she displays,
knowingly, like a peacock.

CITING THE utility’s
“failure to take the necessary steps to make safe the
area in Carmel-by-the-Sea
where planned work was
under way on March 3,”
when work on a gas main led
to an explosion that
destroyed a house, and its
“failure to adequately equip
the construction crew with
the tools necessary to stop
the uncontrolled flow of natural gas,” the Safety and
Enforcement Division of the
California Public Utilities
Commission determined
PG&E violated federal law
and state codes. As a result,
on Thursday, the PUC
announced it was fining
PG&E $10.85 million and
gave the company 10 days to
either pay the fine or fight it.
Separately, commissioners voted to open a formal
case investigating PG&E’s
record keeping for its natural gas distribution service
and facilities, and will
“review and determine
whether PG&E’s practices
for its gas distribution system have been unsafe and in
violation of the law.” The
case will determine whether
the utility company should
be penalized for bad record
keeping, including the fact
that drawings of gas lines in
Carmel failed to indicate the
steel pipe workers punched
into in the March incident
contained a plastic lining.

Sapp pleads guilty to hacking business’ website
n He says he was just trying
to expose company’s wrongdoing
By MARY SCHLEY
A
COMMERCIAL realtor who frequently appears at
city hall pleaded guilty Tuesday to hacking into a former
employer’s computer system, according to Monterey County
Deputy District Attorney Jimmy Panetta.
But the realtor, Jonathan Sapp, said he only changed the
website of Carmel Business Sales to try to warn people the
group’s dealings were shady.
Initiated by Pacific Grove P.D., the investigation into Sapp
began in March, when Michael Russell, owner of Carmel
Business Sales, went to police with complaints about his
website being hacked, Cmdr. Cassie McSorley said this
week. “He reported that his webpage was hacked into, and
some changes were made which had a negative impact on his
business,” she said. “Through a rather lengthy investigation,
we were able to track the changes to Mr. Sapp, who was a former employee of Mr. Russell’s.”
Investigators “were able to determine that the hacking was
done from his residence in Pacific Grove,” she said, and they
turned the case over to the district attorney’s office. Sapp was
charged in late September with a single felony count under a
California Penal Code section pertaining to accessing and
altering or deleting files or data in someone else’s computer,
system or network without permission. He was arraigned in
October and appeared in court Tuesday.
“He removed information as well as added information to
the website,” Panetta said, including removing banners and
replacing them with other information, taking down testimonials and listings, and making other changes on the site.
“He admitted it. He had a reason and motive based on his
relationship with the company,” Panetta said. “We could
prove it based on the facts. Mr. Sapp understood that and
accepted responsibility for it.”
He pleaded guilty to the felony and then argued under
another legal section that he should only be convicted of a
misdemeanor, to which the judge agreed, given Sapp has no
criminal record, Panetta said. He is set to be sentenced in
January, when he’ll also undergo a restitution hearing to
determine how much the hacking negatively affected
Russell’s business.
“There will be some restitution due to money lost,”
Panetta said. “They wanted sentencing yesterday, and I asked
that it be put over to determine monetary amounts and possible jail time.”
Russell told The Pine Cone his company’s website was
“maliciously hacked and altered to provide damaging misinformation to potential clients, which resulted in significant
financial harm.”
Further, he pointed out, “Mr. Sapp’s misconduct occurred
at time when I was undergoing treatment for cardiac failure,
and it is especially unfortunate the he acted in this way when
he was fully aware of my condition. This is a sad outcome.”
But Sapp, who handled commercial real estate deals for
the company while he worked there, said he expects nothing

more than a slap on the wrist. He changed Carmel Business
Sales’ website in order to protect people from what he sees as
the company’s fraudulent activity.
“I discovered he was doing things not above board,
defrauding his customers, and I reported this to the Bureau of
Real Estate, and it took them two years to get around to doing
the investigation,” Sapp said. All the while, he continued
working for Russell.
In August 2013, the BRE filed allegations of mismanaging trust funds, withholding excess commissions and other
misdealings, and deputy real estate commissioner named the
business, Russell and Sapp in her complaint. Hearings on the
allegations are still pending, and Sapp said he was named
because he didn’t do a better job advising Russell.
“In August of last year, my license came up for renewal,
and the department put my renewal on hold until I resigned
from Mike’s company, which I then immediately did,” Sapp
said.
Later, Sapp alleged, Carmel Business Sales was still oper-
The Carmel Pine Cone
ating while unlicensed, but his complaints seemed to “fall to
the bottom of the in-basket” at the bureau. “So I got frustrated,” he said. “I still had the password for his website, and I
went kind of vigilante.”
He accessed the site and removed photos of himself and
other former brokers, and posted a notice “saying they were
not currently licensed, with a referral to a web link so the
public could look at the accusations.” He also set a “contact
us” email link for inquiries from potential clients to go to the
investigator at the BRE.
“Mike obviously found it, and they fixed it,” Sapp said.
“Nothing I put on there was erroneous. It was total truth.”
Russell, however, said the complaint hinges on the interpretation of a BRE regulation, and he’s confident it will be
resolved. “We’ve always been licensed. We’ve never had a
consumer complaint, and we have always operated at the
highest level of integrity,” he said.
Russell said he couldn’t comment further, since the sentencing and restitution hearing are pending, but he wanted to
thank the business community for supporting him and his
company. “I appreciate that the police and the DA have taken
action,” he said. “We are moving past this event and looking
forward to continuing to serve our valued clients.”

HEN HE learned of the official election results Wednesday night that made him
the newest Monterey County sheriff by 3,126
votes, deputy Steve Bernal was working the
night shift in South Monterey County.
“And I would say I jumped for joy,” he
said. “But it’s hard to jump for joy when
you’re driving a patrol car.”
While he’s elated with his victory over
Sheriff Scott Miller — who
received 33,186 votes, compared
with Bernal’s 36,312 — in the
Nov. 4 election, Bernal said he’s
got a lot of work to do in the next
six weeks before he’s sworn in.
“Right now, I’m trying to nail
down my executive management
team,” he said, referring to the
undersheriff and chief deputies
who will work directly under him
and be in charge of the large
agency’s various departments, the
most challenging of which is the
jail. “That will be my biggest
decision right there: who is going
to run our jail,” he said, adding
that he was on his way to interview a candidate Thursday morning, the start of his “weekend.”
The jail needs particularly strong leadership because it’s understaffed and crowded,
he said. “There are so many things we have
to tackle, but it’s the jail that’s first,” he said,
considering 20 people who work there are
out sick or injured, and many of those who
are showing up have to work a lot of overtime, as long as 16 hours a day, most of
which they spend on their feet.
Which would explain, he said, why so
many of them complain of plantar fasciitis, a
common affliction among runners that causes pain and inflammation in the heel.
“They are on their feet a lot and carry a
lot of gear,” he said. “It could be something
as simple as changing the shoes they wear.”
In addition to selecting his top administrators, whom he hopes to name during a
press conference next week, Bernal said he’s
spending his off time getting to know all the
bureaus — enforcement, custody, administrative, and professional standards and training — and where they stand, including their
top priorities and problems.
“And we’ll do an audit of everything in
the sheriff’s office,” he said. “We just need to
do an audit of the budget, and you go in and
you audit the crime lab,
evidence, everything
about the sheriff ’s
office. We want to
know where we stand,
and we don’t want any
surprises after the first
of the year.”
After initial results
indicated Bernal might
win, he hired Monterey
PR
man
David
Armanasco to help him
during the transition,
including establishing a
citizens advisory committee of educators,
representatives of nonSteve Bernal
profits, and other community members.
“I would like at a minimum to meet within this group twice a year to determine how
are doing as a community,” he said, and he
might hold regular town hall meetings, based

transparency is putting together that community group.”
Since Election Day, Bernal said he’s

“The feel around the sheriff’s office was
joy,” especially after the final results were

With drownings on the rise, volunteer firefighters get ready to swim
By CHRIS COUNTS
T
HE MID-COAST Volunteer Fire
Brigade’s primary function, of course, is
keeping its community safe from fire. But in
response to an increasing number of drownings along the North Big Sur Coast, three
members of the fire brigade are training to
perform water rescues.
Just two weeks ago, National Guard air-
man Khiem Nguyen became the third person
in the past year to die after being swept into
the waves along the inviting but dangerous
coastline south of Carmel Highlands. Two
others narrowly escaped death in separate
incidents.
Because the fire brigade is based in Palo
Colorado Canyon, its members are often
closer to the sites of the drownings — Rocky
Point and Garrapata State Park — than rescue workers from other agencies.
“Our coastline in Monterey County is
both dynamic and deadly,” said fire brigade
Chief Cheryl Goetz. “We respond to multiple coastal incidents every year.”
But when they are the first rescue workers to
arrive on scene, they can find themselves in
a position where they can’t offer any help.
“Up until this point, our members have been
unable to enter the water to access victims
due to a lack of equipment and training,” she
explained.
At the initiative of three of its watersavvy members — Brian Gorrell, Brent
Bispo and Bryce Hall — the fire brigade
hopes to be able to play a more important
role in ocean rescues by creating what it’s
calling an “Ocean Rescue Division.” “It is
our goal to certify qualified members of our
brigade so we will be able to enter the water
and prevent a loss of life,” Goetz said.
Gorrell, Bispo and Hall have been busy
preparing for what will be a difficult task.
Those in the Ocean Rescue Division will
need to be certified as a first responder or an
emergency medical technician, prove they
are proficient at using ropes in rescue operations, and pass a swim test to show they can
handle the physical challenges they will face
in the surf. For Gorrell, Bispo and Hall, the
swim test will come in March.
Goetz said the idea to train fire brigade
members to perform water rescues has the
blessing of California State Parks, which has
its own staff of lifeguards.
“We’re not trying to start a new program,”
she explained. “We’re trying to assist the
state parks lifeguards by getting someone in
the water quicker if their lifeguards are not
available.”
Because the North Big Sur Coast is steep
and treacherous, Goetz said it’s not safe to
launch inflatable boats like ocean rescue
workers would use at many locations on the
Monterey Peninsula. Instead, they’ll need to
enter the water with surfboards. “We took a
look, but there’s no place where we can
launch a boat around here,” she explained.
When the Mid-Coast “lifeguards” enter
the water, they’ll not only be accompanied
by surfboards, but waterproof two-way
radios as well. “We want to make sure that
when we put our people in the water, we can
talk to them,” Goetz added.
The Aptos/La Selva Fire Protection district has donated some of the equipment
needed for ocean rescues, but more is needed, Goetz said. The fire brigade launched a
fundraising drive this week, and three bands
— Atomixx, Buoy and Dirt Track Heroes —
will play a fundraising “Rock for Ocean
Rescue” concert Saturday, Dec. 20, at the
American Legion Hall at Dolores and Eighth
in Carmel. www.midcoastfirebrigade.com

Parents, teachers reject idea of ‘reconfiguring’ P.G. elementary schools
By KELLY NIX
T
HE IDEA of reconfiguring Pacific
Grove’s two elementary schools was
scratched from last week’s school board
agenda after the district received an overwhelmingly negative response to the proposal.
On Nov. 13, the Pacific Grove Unified
School District board was set to hold an
informational meeting for parents on the
concept of reconfiguring Robert Down and
Forest Grove elementary schools. The proposal involved having one school be just for
kids from kindergarten to second grade and
the other home to grades third to fifth.
But the school board canceled the meet-
ing because “the public reaction was 100
percent negative in letters and emails to the
board,” PGUSD Board President Tony
Sollecito told The Pine Cone Tuesday.
“In addition, we realized that most of our
teaching staff was not in favor of reconfiguration,” he said. “Obviously, even the
thought of reconfiguring our schools was
causing angst amongst our loyal Otters and
loyal Falcons” — the schools’ mascots.
Arguments the district heard against the
idea included the inconvenience of a family
having, for example, a first-grader at one
school and a fourth-grader at the other
school, no longer having older students mentoring younger ones, and good old fashioned
school loyalty, Sollecito said.
“The board decided that we must do a
better job of communicating the reasons for
the discussion before the discussion could be
truly open and meaningful,” he said.
“Therefore, the decision was made to pull
the item and consider additional outreach to
the community and staff, as well as other
alternatives to reconfiguration that could
achieve the same goal.”
The board talked about the idea of reconfiguring the schools several years ago but
also received a mostly negative response.
Still, Sollecito said the district must constantly reassess its programs to ensure its
students are getting the best education possible.
Reconfiguring the schools, according to
the district, would allow teachers of the same
grade level to be at the same school to collaborate, which is encouraged in Common
Core Instruction. In addition, it would fix the
unequal number of students who enroll at the
schools at the start of each year. For instance,
there may be too many students in first grade
classes at Robert Down, while there’s a correct student-to-teacher ratio at Forest Grove.
“If all of the grade levels were at one
school,” Sollecito explained, “they could be
evenly divided amongst the same grade level
teachers, and all classes could enjoy a smaller teacher-student ratio.”
And while the board said it would give a
lot of weight to teachers’ opinions of the proposal, teachers, for the most part, also didn’t
like the idea, PGUSD assistant superintendent Rick Miller told The Pine Cone.
“There was a meeting the day before the
board meeting, to which all the teachers were
invited,” Miller said. “A majority of the
teachers at that meeting were not in favor of
reconfiguration, though some were in favor
of it.”
PGHS football team takes Shoe
AN INTERCEPTION late in the fourth
quarter by defensive back Zach Miller sealed
Pacific Grove High School’s 35-28 win over
rival Carmel High Nov. 15, earning the team
possession of the much-sought-after “Shoe”
trophy for the first time in seven years. The
victory also gave the Breakers the Mission
Trail Athletic League crown.
Playing at Carmel High, Pacific Grove
High broke a 28-28 tie with 5:27 left in the
game when running back Jason Leach scampered 80 yards for what later proved to be the
winning score.
The Breakers’ offense was paced by
Leach, who ran for 202 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries; and quarterback
Anthony Coppola, who completed nine of 11
passes for 140 yards, and ran for 106 yards
and two scores on 14 carries.
Keenan Selbicky also had a big game for
Pacific Grove High, recording eight tackles

and forcing a fumble on defense, while running for 59 yards and scoring a touchdown
on offense.
Carmel High’s Covassay Windham
gained 135 yards and scored two touchdowns on 20 carries in a losing cause. The
defeat breaks the team’s streak of 46 straight
league wins.
The Breakers finish the regular season
with a 7-0 league record and a 9-1 overall
mark, while the Padres wrapped up their year
with a 6-1 league record and a 7-3 overall
mark. Both teams are headed to the Central
Coast Section Division IV playoffs.
Throughout their respective histories, the
two teams have been remarkably well
matched. In the 67 times they have played
each other since 1948, Pacific Grove High
was won 33 times and Carmel has emerged
the victor 32 times. Twice, the games have
ended in a tie.

of Service to our
Local Community

ONTEREY HAS wrapped up its investigation into an
alleged corruption case involving the city’s public works
department, but officials are being tight-lipped on almost
everything about the case.
Monterey City Manager Mike McCarthy told The Pine
Cone Tuesday that the inquiry into allegations that employees
were involved in an illegal scheme to sell city street signs,
poles and other metal for cash had concluded. Two workers,
whom the city would not identify, were placed on paid leave
after the inquiry began in July.
However, on the advice of the city attorney, McCarthy
said he couldn’t comment on “personnel investigations” or
say whether those workers, or others, were fired as a result,
whether they’ve returned to work, or even whether anybody
was criminally charged. The district attorney’s office didn’t
know anything about the case.
The Monterey city administrator’s position was remarkably similar to former Carmel city administrator Jason
Stilwell’s explanation for trying to keep the investigation of
Steve McInchak secret.
“I can tell you that the investigation is complete, I am satisfied with the investigator’s work, and that the city is moving
forward with next steps,” McCarthy told The Pine Cone.
“While I understand that the public is very curious about the
incident, we are required to keep all aspects of personnel
issues confidential.”
The city hired Danville-based Municipal Resource Group
to conduct an internal investigation into the allegations. The

NOTES
HERE’S TO HEALTHIER HOLIDAYS!
The holidays are a great time of year, but they
can bring short and long-term problems as well.
It is easy to overeat due to the overabundance
of readily accessible foods and also easy to gain
weight because of the high caloric content of
those foods. Cookies, pies, stuffing, mashed
potatoes, candies, oh my! And the list goes on
and on. Just being around all of this yummy
food is hard enough, but if you are anything like
me, I find it hard to say no and find myself saying, “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings” as
I eat a second (and third!) cookie.

Another factor in all of this is stress. I don’t
know anyone who would deny the holidays, as
fun as they are, bring on a great deal of stress.
On a biological level, stress makes us crave
sugar and fatty foods because they flood the
body with cortisol. Stress weakens our ability
to make good choices even when we have every
intention of not overeating.

firm was paid $200 per hour, but the city won’t say how much
they billed. The Monterey Police Department launched its
own criminal probe into the case but won’t say whether
charges were recommended to the district attorney.
During the investigation, search warrants were served,
including one at the home of one of the unidentified suspects
seeking financial records, and another at an office at the city’s
corporation yard in Ryan Ranch. The city did not disclose
what was found during the searches.
Monterey’s public works employees are supposed to turn
in scrap metal, which could be old or damaged signs, poles
and other metal parts. The city sells the scrap to recycling
firms, and the funds are deposited into the city’s revenue
account. Monterey’s Streets and Utilities department, based
in Ryan Ranch, has about 155 workers, though it’s not known
whether the two placed on leave worked in that department.
Louise Marie Govan Wilson
Loving wife, nurturing Mother and devoted friend, passed away in her Monterey home, surrounded by her
family on Wednesday, October 29 at the age of 65 after a courageous battle with cancer for 8 years. A resident of both Monterey and Palo Alto, she was born in Montreal, Canada and raised by her loving parents
William and Marie (Vandette) Govan. She was the youngest of three children, alongside: William & John
Govan. She is survived by her beloved husband Carlyle “Lad” Landis Wilson and three children: Lindsay
Paulette Mahacek, Laura Marie Smith and Landis Trent Wilson. After attending Sacred Heart high school
in Rochester, New York Louise went on to work for Dr. James Gills an Ophthalmologist in Port Richie,
Florida. Louise loved living in Florida, everything from the “sugar” sand of Clearwater Beach to the barefoot skiing in the canals with the alligators. Dr. Gills inspired her to continue her career and further her
education by graduating from Georgetown University as a Certified Ophthalmic Technician. On her graduation trip traveling throughout Europe, she met her husband Lad in Madrid, Spain and together continued to travel the world. Above all the work she had ever done, she loved being the best Mom in the world.
She considered her children her legacy. From all the family photos (every family photo was a potential
Christmas picture), to family ski trips across North America and Europe. We all cherished the family vacations, but nothing beats sleeping under the stars in our boat docked in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. In addition to her family, her friends meant the world to her. Her friends knew her as enthusiastic, compassionate
and always having a warm smile that would light up the room. She was the essence of a true lady who
loved her proper high tea time, luncheons with the ladies, afternoon tennis, lemon drops, milk, egg sandwiches, dancing the night away, and always trying to get her girls to be more “girly.” She once told her
daughter, “it’s nighttime, you can wear more makeup.” She loved her TV shows, don’t get in the middle
of her and Downton Abbey, trust me! Music was spiritual to her, from The Beatles to Lionel Richie. Some
of her favorite quotes: “we’re all L’s,” “actions speak louder than words,” “it’s all about give and take” and
“treat others the way you would want to be treated.” Louise will be remembered as being a giving, genuine,
benevolent yet tenacious person and always a fighter from beginning till the end.
For our Mother:
May you always walk in sunshine and Gods love around you flow,
for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
A million times weve needed you.
A million times weve cried.
If only love could have saved you, you never would have died.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 22nd at San Carlos Cathedral, 500 Church Street,
Monterey, California at 11:00am. A visitation at the Cathedral will precede the mass beginning at 9:30am.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to Ignatius Jesuit Centre, Guelph, Ontario, Canada (ignatiusguelph.ca). Louise was an ardent supporter of the ongoing work of her brother, Father John Govan, S.J.,
through the Ignatian spirituality retreats offered at this centre.

Richard John “Dick” Stratman
1933-2014
Richard was born in Van Nuys, California. He was
a man of vision and numerous talents, a true renaissance man.
He was an architect and builder. His talents ranged
from creating new buildings
and remodels such as at
Esalen Institute and other
homes along the Big Sur
coast and in Nevada to
name a few. He was a gifted
Rolfer and Cranial Sacral
practitioner as well as
teacher. Richard was a talented painter of abstract
acrylics and he also created
water color architectural
renderings, a lost art. In addition, his talent as a
musician included improvisational music on guitar,
silver flute and drums. Photography was another
love and dimension of his vast creativity.
His creative mind and positive attitude helped him
survive many years of increasing health challenges
and he passed away at the age of 81.
He is survived by his wife Jayme “Jai” Alpert, his 3
daughters, Cerise Johnson, Kristie Wilde and
Catrina Pancake, four siblings, ten grandchildren
and four great grandchildren. He is deeply loved
and missed by his family and the many people
whose lives he touched.
A celebration of his life will be held at a future date.

HOMESCAPES
From page 1A
At the time Homescapes filed for bankruptcy, with Lange signing as president of
the company, the owners said they had just
$100 in cash in the register and $45 in a business account at Monterey County Bank, as
well as desktop computers and printers,
desks and chairs, and miscellaneous tools,
worth a combined $870.
But its liabilities include $46,795 in back
wages to two employees, and $39,493.74 in
taxes, including money owed to the state and
county for business and sales taxes.
And among the hundreds of thousands of
dollars owed to banks for credit cards and
lines of credit, and collection accounts, are
$131.25 to California American Water, and
debts to the City of Carmel for an account
balance and the business license. Back rent
alone amounts to $121,016.06, with another
$10,000 owed for the store’s former
Barnyard location, and $1,355.62 for
garbage services. Several personal loans,
including from Lange’s husband, Joe Vargo,
are listed as well.
“The Trustee believes that a majority of
the items in the store are consignment and
therefore not property of the estate. The
remaining inventory is not of sufficient value
to sell it on behalf of the estate and satisfy
the lien while leaving any funds for the benefit of creditors,” according to the filing.
(The lien refers to the $60,000 owed to
Union Bank.)
A handwritten sign
in the door at
Homescapes
Carmel claims the
store is “closed for
inventory.” But it’s
actually gone bankrupt.
According to state law, any objection to
the abandonment or a request for a hearing
has to be made in writing to the Bankruptcy
Court in San Jose within three weeks.
Personal bankruptcy, too.
Jim Griffith, operations manager at
Carmel Plaza, said he has no idea what’s
going on with the store. “They are closed,
but we just don’t have any information at
all,” he said. “We noticed they were closed
— we thought maybe someone was sick. We
have no information on what’s going on.”
In April, Union Bank filed a lawsuit
against Homescapes Carmel, Homescapes
International, and Finklang and Lange for
breach of contract over an unpaid balance of
$53,400.50 on a $61,540 loan the bank says
it gave the men in 2009. The contract,
according to the lawsuit, required them to
make monthly payments starting March 1,
2009, until Feb. 4 of this year, but despite
demands to pay it in full, they failed to do so.
“The corporation breached the terms of
the note by failing to make the monthly payment for the loan due on Aug. 1, 2013, and
each consecutive month thereafter,” according to the suit filed by Union Bank attorney
David W. Brody.
On July 9, Monterey County Superior
Court Judge Susan J. Matcham issued a
judgment in favor of Union Bank — which
also does business as First National Bank of
Central California — ordering the store owners to pay the bank $59,700.32, including
damages of $53,400.50, $2,889.54 in interest
and $2,670.03 in attorneys’ fees.
Prior to the store filing for bankruptcy,
but after the court ruling, Lange filed for
Chapter 13 bankruptcy in September, declaring he had $27,814 in assets and $119,293 in
liabilities, and his 50 percent ownership in
the business won’t net him anything. Lange
then filed a notice in Monterey County
Superior Court in an effort to stay legal proceedings in the Union Bank civil case
against him in light of his bankruptcy filing.
At the time of his filing, Lange had $12 in
cash in his wallet, $400 in a Wells Fargo
checking account and $2 in a savings
account, as well as furnishings worth $5,000,
a $400 wedding band, $500 worth of clothes,
a 1969 MG Midget on blocks that’s worth
$500 and a 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman with
36,000 miles on it valued at $13,000.
But he owes a total of $89,293 various
credit cards and is facing a $30,000 claim of
unpaid wages from Leland Slarrow, who is
also listed on the company’s bankruptcy
paperwork as being owed back pay.
While Lange has no reportable income,
his filing indicates his husband takes in
gross earnings of $14,499.57 a month as a
project manager for Wells Fargo. Vargo also
loaned the business $16,106.90, according to
Homescapes’ bankruptcy paperwork.
Carmel Plaza management didn’t know
what would become of the store or its contents. Salinas attorney Jason Vogelpohl represented Lange in both bankruptcy filings.

Diane Elaine Garneau
October 18, 1948 – November 11, 2014
Diane left us on Tuesday afternoon in search of a better place, a place with
happy children, crashing waves, and sandy beaches. With heart and soul the size
of a school bus, and the love of almost every
child in Carmel Valley, she won the battle
against colon cancer 25 years ago then breast
cancer 11 years ago. In January of this year
liver cancer became the focus of her energy.
With courage and determination, and a great
team of doctors, she fought back for these last
10 months, only to ultimately succumb to this
horrid disease.
Diane was preceded in death by her mother
Elaine Fosso, and her brother Carl Fosso. She is survived by her husband of 46
years, Pete Garneau, son Greg, son Brian and his amazing wife Pia, and the
loves of her life, grandsons Jake and Jet. Additionally, her father Arthur and
brother Bill of Palm Springs, and brothers Art and Chris of Arizona.
Diane’s love for children led her to Tularcitos School in the mid-seventies,
where she taught as an instructional aide for over 35 years. After school and
during the summers she often tutored children at her home that needed extra
instruction. She loved her job, adored the children, and would be there today
but for misfortune. An outing with Diane was never without a chance encounter
with a past student whose life was better because of her support and guidance.
Each and every one of the hundreds upon hundreds of “her kids” gave to her
as much as she gave to them. Her favorite moments were seeing the smiles and
laughter on her students faces, watching them grow, attending their graduations
and weddings, and anticipating the following generation.
Away from school Diane loved the ocean, any sandy beach, angels, butterflies,
lavender, rainbows, sea glass and anything purple. She would love to be remembered each time you see one of her favorite things.
Her family wishes to express their appreciation to the countless medical professionals who touched her life these past several years. Special recognition to local
Doctors Cindy B. Lee and Roger Shiffman is in order, as well as Doctor George
Poultsides at Stanford.
Please join her family for a memorial service that will be held on Saturday
November 22, 2014 at 2:30 pm, at the Community Church of the Monterey
Peninsula located at 4590 Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel CA 93923. A celebration
of her life will immediately follow in the adjoining hall. Food will be served, and
bright attire will make Diane smile.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Tularcitos Elementary
School Parent Teacher Organization at 35 Ford Road, Carmel Valley CA
93924.

Susan Marie Saunders (Canepa) passed away peacefully in her Carmel Valley home on
Sunday, November 16, 2014. She was 67 years old, and had been bravely battling cancer
for the second time since March of 2014. She was a lifetime resident
of the Monterey Peninsula, the oldest of 5 children born to Theodore
and Lorraine Canepa in Chicago, Illinois, on May 24, 1947.
She worked at numerous jobs during her lifetime, the most memorable of which was the bakery she owned in Carmel Valley. Her most
recent accomplishment was that of an inn keeper for a bed and breakfast unit she rented out.
She will be remembered for her delicious baked goods which she
whipped up daily at the Sweet Retreat, and for her love of animals, especially her horses.
She is survived by a daughter, Tami Rachelle Daniels of Carmel Valley, 2 granddaughters

Signs ask everybody to show trout some love
By CHRIS COUNTS
IF YOU’RE a Carmel Valley resident who has somehow
avoided reading newspapers or attending public meetings for
nearly 20 years, you’re about to learn the federal government
considers local steelhead trout a “threatened” species.
To bring your attention to the dire straits of Carmel River
steelhead — which a state agency is trying to alleviate by
ordering Monterey Peninsula residents to stop taking most of
their drinking water from the river — 10 signs will soon be
erected alongside bridges crossing the river and its tributaries.
The signs, bearing the message, “Protect our threatened
steelhead,” will be placed alongside bridges between Finch
Creek in Upper Carmel Valley and Highway 1. If all goes
according to plan, another 15 of the same signs will go up at
additional sites.
Advocates for the sign project hope it will kickstart a
more ambitious effort to establish “state heritage areas,”
making it easier to obtain public money to pay for a multitude of signs that will inform and educate the public about
California’s natural and cultural resources.
Driving the project is the Carmel River Watershed
Conservancy, a nonprofit group whose members seek to
“balance environmental protection and the diverse needs of
the community.”
“The purpose of the project is to protect threatened
species, especially steelhead, in the river and creeks,” said
Lorin Letendre, the president of the nonprofit. “Most people
have no idea there are steelhead in the creek right next to
them. In watershed management science, there’s a lot of evidence that shows if you educate people, they’ll do a lot better
job of taking care of the riparian habitat.”
A $6,000 grant from American Water, Cal Am’s parent
company, will pay for the first 10 signs. Letendre said
Carmel Valley Ranch has agreed to donate staff time to
install them.
The next 15 signs are expected to cost $17,000 to make
and install. A grant proposal for that amount has been submitted to the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
In a related project, the Monterey Peninsula Water
Management District has donated $2,000 toward the creation
of a more elaborate sign, which will be placed next to the
new Schulte Road bridge across the river. Featuring historic
photographs, colorful graphics and a wealth of information
about the area’s natural and cultural resources, the 2-foot-by4-foot sign will cost $4,000 to $5,000 to build and install.
By better educating people about an area’s natural and
cultural resources, residents and visitors will develop a deeper appreciation of them, Letendre said.
“There’s a big story to tell,” he explained.
Such an appreciation will not only benefit conservation
efforts, but aid tourism and boost the local economy, he
added.
The idea to create state heritage areas was inspired by a
similar federal program. There are about 50 national heritage
areas, nearly all of them east of the Mississippi River — and
none in California.
Letendre said his group has broad support for the state
heritage area concept.
“We’ve talked to Congressman Sam Farr, State Senator
Bill Monning, Assemblyman Mark Stone and Supervisor
Dave Potter, and they all support it,” he added. “The
California Coastal Conservancy is also a big proponent.
We’re trying to get a resolution passed in the state
Legislature.”

STUDY
From page 1A
has increased because of drought and climate change.
“The science produced by this study will
help define guidelines for water treatment
when ocean water is collected through the
environmentally preferred approach of
[underground] intakes,” according to
Bukhari.
Apart from Bukhari, the team leading the
pathogen removal study includes American
Water’s Patrick Jjemba and Elaine Howe of
Trussell Technologies — an environmental
engineering firm that focuses on water quality.
An angle of about 20 degrees
According to its website, the Virginiabased WateReuse Research Foundation is an
educational corporation “that conducts
applied research on behalf of the water and
wastewater community for the purpose of
advancing the science of water reuse, recycling, reclamation, and desalination.”
Cal Am’s slant well, as its name suggests,
will be drilled at an angle from the beach.
The well will be about 750 feet long, but,
because of its shallow angle, will terminate
only about 200 feet below sea level.
The pathogen study, Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Stedman told The Pine
Cone, will not distract engineers from the test
well’s primary goal of determining the feasibility of slant wells for the company’s desal
facility.
“The study will not in any way interfere
with the primary purpose,” Stedman said
Wednesday. “They are just taking advantage
of the fact our test is occurring now. Our H2O
quality data will be used for their study.”
Svindland told The Pine Cone that the
pathogen study shows the importance of the
slant test well on future water supply projects. While slant wells have been used before,
they have never been employed for desalination facilities in the United States.
“It’s gratifying to see how much interest
the test well has garnered from state agencies
like the [state’s] Department of Water
Resources, who are giving $1 million to support the construction” of the test well,
Svindland said, “and groups like the
WateReuse Foundation, who are eager to
look into the broader implications of the data
we’re gathering.
The coastal commission and the State
Water Resources Control Board favor slant
well technology over open ocean intakes for
desalination facilities.
DECISION
From page 1A
review for the desal project, and approvals
from the Public Utilities Commission and
the California Coastal Commission to build
the desal facility, which Cal Am expects to
receive in mid-2015.
“When we deliver on all four of those, we
will have cleared the major obstacles in
delivering a new water supply,” Burnett said.
“I wouldn’t expect the state board to be very
receptive to modifying [the cutback deadline] unless those four hurdles are cleared.”
Making progress
Last week, the coastal commission granted Cal Am a permit to build the test well.
The permit bodes well for the water company and bolsters the case that the Peninsula is
making progress toward developing a new
water supply and that the state water agency
should extend the deadline. A week before
that, Cal Am and cement producer Cemex
settled a legal spat over the Marina land
where Cal Am intends to install the temporary well.
In October 2009, the same month a deadline for the cutback order was imposed, Cal
Am and the Monterey Peninsula Water
Management District filed lawsuits against
the state water board challenging the order.
The suits were later consolidated into one.
While Cal Am and the water district agreed
to place the lawsuit on hold and delay any
legal action in the case, water district general
manager Dave Stoldt said the litigation can
be resurrected if talks fall apart and the state
water board refuses to extend cutback order
deadline. The litigation prompted the talks
between local water officials and the state
water agency.
The lawsuit “is still a tool the Peninsula
has to look at as a counterpoint to negotiations,” Stoldt told The Pine Cone.
The state water board — on a 3-1 vote —
issued the cutback order to protect the steelhead fish and red-legged frog populations in
the Carmel River. One board member dissented, saying the order wasn’t harsh enough.

Are yours pets tougher than you? The answer seems to be, ‘Yes’
By JOHANNA SHERRILL
A
VERY frequent conversation I have with my veterinary clients around town is whether it’s OK to put their dog
or cat under anesthesia for relatively simple procedures, such
as a dental cleaning, or even a spay or neuter. There is a huge
fear factor the owners have when it comes to anesthesia. I get
it.
Last week, I was put under myself for a few hours because
of a fairly rigorous surgery. As I recover even now, I really do
have to hand it to the animals that I work on. They simply are
much, much better at getting over anesthesia than (most)
people are. Even though I fearlessly order up and administer
multiple anesthetic and surgical procedures for routine veterinary shifts every week, I don’t think much about the whole
ordeal from the pet’s (patient’s) perspective, because they
recover so well — bouncing back like champs. Not even a
few hours after waking up, they are wagging tails or eating
snacks and basically ready to go home with their owners as
soon as I issue a clearance for a hospital discharge. It’s
always quite remarkable, and even more so to me now that
I’ve visited the other side of the fence!
I had some intense orthopedic neurosurgery, and I’m still
desperately trying to recover a few weeks later, lying in bed
feeling sorry for myself and taking various prescription products to ease the pain. So I simply have to say that, when it
comes to our pets, they are the clear winners for undergoing
anesthesia and surgery with more strength and grace than
their human counterparts.
However, the point of the story is not to point out that
humans are wimps, and dogs and cats are not. (Although,
that’s pretty much the case!) The message is that when you
need to have your pet anesthetized for a very important procedure like a dental cleaning, for example, or a spay or
neuter, you should understand that, in pretty much every
case, they really do sail through. They don’t show the same
weaknesses that we might exhibit in the same situation. Their
constitution is made to withstand more.
Anesthesia and surgery for your pets should be taken very
seriously, of course. I’m definitely not one to be cavalier
about that. It is important to ask questions about whether or
not your pet will have an endotracheal tube and an IV
catheter for better control overall. Anesthesia by definition is
one step away from death. And good veterinarians aim to
control every part of that procedure. Monitoring is an
absolute must. You should seek out a veterinarian who uses

lots of monitors. You should also ask what’s going on when it
comes to recovery and times to be released to go back home.
You should expect your pet to be a little down for a few days
— especially, if there was something like orthopedic or
abdominal surgery involved.
I cannot stress enough that if you are getting a major sur-

Editorial
The president’s
civil disobedience
FIVE YEARS ago, when Obamacare was passed in the middle of the night
with no public scrutiny — even the members of Congress who voted for the bill
had no idea what was in it — President Barack Obama could at least have made
a credible case that the majority of the citizenry backed him, because they knew
our health care system was an expensive, inefficient mess that badly needed to
be reformed.
As soon as it was passed, however, and the public found out that Obamacare
did nothing to control costs and was actually just another gigantic federal giveaway program, the majority turned their backs on it. The latest opinions polls,
just like all the others since it was passed, show that most Americans oppose
Obama’s health care law.
The president’s insistence, therefore, that it not be repealed, or even substantially modified, shows that he doesn’t really care what his constituents think. But
at least he could have believed they backed him when he signed it.
No such pretense is possible, however, with the president’s unilateral action
to grant millions of illegal immigrants from various countries the right to work
here — a move which will keep millions of American citizens and legal residents from getting those same jobs, and depress the wages of tens of millions
more.
As we have pointed out several times before, no less a figure than Cesar
“ I can tell you what I had for breakfast in 1951,
but I can’t tell you where I parked my car.”
Chavez was vehemently against illegal immigration for these very reasons.
The American people are overwhelmingly against Obama’s amnesty, just as
they have been dead set against illegal immigration all these years, and their passion about it is only growing. They practically shouted their opposition from the
rooftops in this month’s elections.
What they want is an end to illegal immigration — now. And they want illegal
immigrants already in the country to get in the back of the line when it comes
to applying for legal status — not only behind everyone in the pipeline for a visa
today, but those who will apply in the next few years.
Immigration should be based on merit — not family ties, not random chance,
not skin color and certainly not on a would-be immigrant’s willingness to blatantly violate our laws. Except for those very few cases around the world where
asylum is warranted, the rule should be: “We will take you if we need you, and
only if you have demonstrated that you are a responsible person.”
Obama could show some real leadership on this issue by coming up with a
program that promotes and encourages legal immigration, and does it in a way
that not only offers hope to hardworking and ambitious people around the world
— including from poor nations — but also benefits this nation. Instead, for
whatever reason, the underlying principle of Obama’s amnesty is this: The more
you have violated our immigration laws, and the longer you’ve kept it up, the
more we’ll be willing to let you stay.
Of course, such a principle not only rewards people simply for their own willingness to violate the law, it encourages millions more to do the same. Seen in
this light, Obama’s amnesty is tantamount to civil disobedience — almost like
he’s the inspirational leader of a mass protest movement against the government.
Is that something the president himself should be doing?

Dear Editor,
My wife and I are residents and we’re
appalled to see parking kiosks installed on
Ocean Avenue. We love the village, and these
kiosks are not consistent with the wonderful
charm that is Carmel. Parking in town
should remain free. The city administration
clearly doesn’t “get it,” they’re not listening
to the residents and, what’s worse, they’re not
even asking.

Make Cal Am pay
Dear Editor,
Coastal Commission approves test wells?
Yeah! Ok, moving on, lets talk about how
large a plant should be built. Cal Am has by
virtue of its over-pumping of the river
enjoyed nice profits for all those years of
overdraft. Basically, ill-gotten revenue. Paid
The Carmel Pine Cone
www.carmelpinecone.com
for by you and me, at the expense of the river
habitat and its inhabitants.
So if the Peninsula uses some 13,000
acre-feet per year, with a legal allowance
from the river of some 3,376 acre-feet per
year, should not the desal plant be sized for
more than the 13,000 AFY of normal use? I
suggest a 16,000 AFY plant with the ability
to enlarge.
Where does the 3,000 AFY go that is in
excess of average use? Well, let’s put it back
into the river, using the same system that has
withdrawn the water from the river basin.
With no river basin pumping and a 3,000
AFY infusion, that theoretically puts around
6,000 AFY back in the river — far less than
the 10,000 AFY overdraft, but a nice start.
And do that for the 20-plus years that Cal
Am overdrafted. And Cal Am stockholders,
the beneficiaries of the overdraft income
should pay for the increased plant size, over
the 13,000 AF normal demand, plus the cost
to put the water back into the river basin. If
the agreement with the MRWPCA for some
3,500 AFY of product water is consummated, which would be great, that would allow
even more water to go back into the
river. Now that is an idea that will make the
river smile!
Be advised that Cal Am’s present filing
with the CPUC asks for a 9 million gallon
per day plant size. Do the math, that works
to 10,081 acre feet per year, obviously
requiring the use of their 3,376 acre feet
allowance per year from the river to provide
the Peninsula’s normal usage. Now the river
is frowning again!

Turkey Day calamities and other blessings
T
HANKSGIVING DISASTERS are all too common.
I’ve certainly had my share. Many years ago I was booked at
a nightclub in Oakland. Also on the show with me was a
magician who, unfortunately, was not very good. Actually,
this guy was so lousy the audience booed him right off the
Wilde Times
By LARRY WILDE
stage. Then I came on, and would you believe it? Right in the
middle of my performance the audience started booing that
magician again.
But that wasn’t my worst Thanksgiving. Those honors go
to the time I hosted my first holiday dinner in my palatial
New York City bachelor pad — a one-and-a-half room fifthfloor walkup overlooking the picturesque Lexington Avenue
Municipal Bus Garage. My apartment was so small the mice
had to run around hunch-backed.
I invited as many guests as I could squeeze into the place.
Two. My public relations representative, Bermuda Schwartz,
and my financial advisor, Morris Resner. Bermuda never got
me any publicity, and Morris never made me any money. He
was the kind of stock broker who invests your money until
it’s all gone.
Still, I loved those guys. They were good friends, and I
wanted the dinner to be special.
I had read in the New York Post about a novel way of
roasting a turkey by baking it a brown paper bag. Supposedly
the bag would produce a juicy bird with crispy skin, and
eliminate all the basting. For a guy who had never cooked a
turkey before, this sounded very appealing.
I bought a bird large enough to feed three hungry men
with plenty of leftovers to keep me from cooking again for
several years.
But trussing a slippery 22-pound turkey was like roping a
steer on a Slip ’N Slide, which, being a city boy, I had never
mastered. And have you ever tried squeezing a two-ton
stuffed gobbler in a greasy paper sack into a kitchenette gas
oven the size of a bread box? Well, don’t try it. Or else you’ll
end up like me, with wall-to wall turkey and a wrenched
back. The rest of the day I had to walk around hunched over
like the mice.
My table was festive, with a disposable tablecloth over the
twin bed, holiday paper napkins, mismatched dinner plates,
and a couple of folding chairs borrowed from my neighbor.
Bermuda arrived with a generous gift — two large bottles
of warm Dr. Pepper. Morris topped him with a dessert of
readymade Cherry Jell-O that he bought on sale at
D’Agostino Grocery. Morris was a stickler for saving calories, and also money.
With the turkey doing its thing in the oven I served a vintage Mogen David wine leftover from Passover three years
prior. Perfect with my gourmet appetizer — celery sticks
stuffed with peanut butter. As you can see, I went all out.
Bermuda mixed his glass of wine with some Dr. Pepper.
He also lit a cigar. Soon the air in the apartment was thick
enough to slice. Which may explain why none of us detected
anything wrong, smoke-wise.
Ambition, hard work and a mother’s
belief that things would be ‘fine’
D
ERMATOLOGIST CHRISTOPHER Barnard’s name
was suggested for this column by a reader who is one
of his patients. She described him as a humble and kind
doctor who’d started a clinic for veterans. Or something like
that —the details were hazy, so it was time to pay him
a visit. Barnard is soft-spoken, and the kindness our reader
spoke of
was apparent.
The best place to start
telling you about Barnard’s
life is when he joined the
Navy at age 17. His mom
signed off the paperwork for
him. He said she thought it
would be fine because her
brother — Barnard’s uncle
— had enlisted at 16, and he
turned out all right. Barnard
wanted to be a doctor, and
the plan was to use the GI
Bill to go to medical school.
Even though that was where
his interests lay, that same
uncle dissuaded him from
Dr. Christopher Barnard
being a medical corpsman.
Knowing Barnard was also
interested in technology, he
persuaded him to sign up to learn about helicopters, so he
would gain a marketable skill.
Barnard agreed, but the siren song of medicine soon
called to him. He was assigned to a helicopter crew aboard
the USS Nimitz, an aircraft carrier. The ship had a hospital
with six flight surgeons and their medical staff. Soon Barnard
was hanging around with the corpsmen, who let him help out
carrying stretchers and doing other basic tasks. The ship did
some rescues at sea, and Barnard proudly noted they never
lost a patient. He’d work his 12-hour shift with the helicopter
crew, and then spend another three hours with the medical
staff, who continued to teach and train him. He also completed some undergraduate college courses.
One of the flight surgeons was a graduate of Muskingum
College, a small school in Ohio. He wrote a letter of recom-
Then somebody knocked on the door. It was my neighbor.
“Is something burning in there?” he asked.
“My friend is smoking a cigar,” I said, fanning the murky
air.
“What’s that coming out of your oven?” He pointed over
my shoulder to the miniature gas range. Sure enough, black

PETS
From page 17A
gery done on your pet, beyond the routine
general stuff, that you strongly consider having a board-certified surgeon do that procedure. General veterinarians can undeniably
do many amazing surgical things, especially
in our area. But when it comes to orthopedics
and complex soft tissue surgeries, it really is
worth asking about whether or not a boardcertified surgeon is available to do those
things for your sweet pet. There’s no way I
would’ve had a general practitioner do neurosurgery on me last week. In fact, my guy had
two specialties and certifications. That was
the minimum for me. Apply the same standards to your beloved pets.
I always prescribe and use pain control
(prescriptions and injectables) in my patient
protocols. You should be absolutely certain
that your veterinarian does, too. To think that
an animal undergoing anesthesia and surgery
does not experience some level of pain is
beyond ridiculous. So please be certain to
request pain control (or insist upon it) when
you take your pets in for surgeries. Even for
dentistry, I use an anti-inflammatory during
the procedure or at least some sort of pain
control as part of my protocol.
Any pet over the age of 5 or 6 (which is
equivalent to 35 to 40 years old in human
years), should also have pre-op lab work
done. This is because we need to know how
he’s is going to handle the anesthesia. So
when you are offered that option prior to the
procedure, try to check that box, “Yes.”
Please don’t be too fearful about anesthesia. We’ve gotten really good at this in the
veterinary world. Everything that was used
on me during my surgery was exactly what I
use on my veterinary cases on a daily basis.
In fact, I’m sure my anesthetist found me
more than a little bit obnoxious when I asked
about dosages and amounts, etc. But I knew
what I was talking about, and that’s because
veterinarians have excellent training in that
department. Trust your vet to give you the
right advice, and ask good questions. And
then, if you do have to have a procedure done
on your pet, then pet those furry tough guys
on the head and give them lots of praise for
being the stronger species.
Carmel Valley Angel Project

Valley area residents who are experiencing
hardships, the store helped 174 local residents last year, most from the Cachagua area.
Among the free items the “store” will offer
are food, toys, books, school supplies, warm
clothing, blankets, backpacks and sleeping
bags.
Project founder Dorothy McEwen opened
the store for the first time in 1995, later
adding the Thanksgiving dinner.
To find out where drop boxes are located
so you can donate, call (831) 659-0420. To
volunteer in the store, call (831) 659-4463. If
you know someone who is in need of help
this holiday season, call (831) 601-7530.
Cash donations can be mailed to Carmel

smoke was seeping out around the oven door.
I was no four-star chef, but something told
me this might be a problem.
When I opened the oven, flames singed
off my eyebrows. I grabbed the only thing at
hand to douse the blaze — Bermuda’s cocktail.
Later, after the fire fighters put out the
blaze and were snacking on the remains of
the turkey that had not been incinerated, one
of them asked if I’d used a special basting
sauce. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that
the unique flavor was equal parts Dr. Pepper
and Mogen David with smoky overtones of
burnt paper bag.
I learned some important lessons that day.
For one thing, roasting turkey in a paper bag
does indeed result in a “crispy bird.” But if
you’re not into the flambé thing, stay clear of
gas flames.
I also discovered that Dr. Pepper and
Mogen David makes a lousy fire extinguisher. But as a basting sauce, it has definite possibilities.

From page 19A
attending physician in the internal medicine
program while completing a residency in
dermatology.
In his “spare time,” he was asked to oversee a veterans’ hospital in Livermore one or
two weekends a month — something the
Palo Alto Veterans Administration sometimes asked of Stanford docs. His interest in
technology started to pay off as well. He
became involved in the beginnings of
telemedicine, in which doctors and patients
can interact remotely through digital imaging and telecommunications. He became the
head of telemedicine at Stanford and the VA
in Palo Alto. The VA soon asked him to go to
Marina once a week to help out in their clinic
there. “Clinic” was a bit of an exaggeration.
“It was a storefront in Marina,” he said.
“There were two rooms, but by the time we
opened, there was a line out the door.” His
once-a-month visits soon became once a
week. He began looking at an old clinic on
the former Ft. Ord and got the staff at the
Palo Alto VA to come visit, along with five
generals, including Jim Moore. He sold them

the idea of building it into a practice that
would serve the thousands of local veterans.
Over a period of three years — while maintaining his jobs teaching at Stanford, and in
research and telemedicine — he helped build
the practice and hire local providers. He said
at one point he saw 100 dermatology patients
or more in three days a week. The clinic now
offers 23 different specialties: everything,
from podiatry to mental health.
The practice gave him an opportunity to
experience the Monterey area, and he ultimately decided to move here. In addition to
his work with veterans, Barnard’s been a tireless promoter of telemedicine. With a friend,

His energy hasn’t flagged. He’s recently
moved his growing dermatology practice
into a new home in Ryan Ranch. He’s also
still involved in telemedicine, working
remotely with patients and their primary care
physicians to diagnose cases via digital
imagery. By the end of the interview, it was
obvious that the saying, “Still waters run

ting everything in there,” he said, adding that
city workers assisted the duo as needed.
The experiment is relying on equipment
that’s on loan, being rented, and in some
cases was purchased. “But they weren’t bigticket items,” Mullane said. “A lot of it’s on
loan, and a lot of it will go back.”
While Mullane originally proposed a
demonstration period of seven to 10 days, he
decided to extend it to almost three weeks, in
order to ensure everyone who cares has
ample time to check out the lights before
they are discussed at the workshop.
He also wanted to emphasize the city is
just trying out different ideas, and no decisions have been made about the merits of any
of them.
“This is not a final design — these are
just concepts that the community can weigh

were no injuries,” he said.
Perkins said he learned from PG&E that a
transformer on a power pole not far from the
affected homes had overheated.
“And somehow, when that happened, the
ground wire for the cable may have been
energized,” Perkins said. “But I don’t know
anything more about the physics involved
and how that happened. The actual cause is
under investigation.”
Perkins said Comcast representatives
indicated they would be looking into the
incident, too.
“Nothing is more important than the safe-

in on, and the next step will be developing a
final design,” he said. “And that’s something
that will probably be a consideration in the
budget, because we’ll need to pay for equipment and design.”
Anyone who wants to examine the various lighting schemes as part of the Monday,
Dec. 8, workshop should meet on the northwest corner of Ocean and Mission, near
Palomas and the Wyland Galleries, at 5 p.m.
The site visit will probably take around 45
minutes, and Mullane said the discussion
would begin in city hall on Monte Verde
Street afterward, around 6 p.m.
“We’ll go into the city council chambers
to find out which treatments they like, which
they didn’t like, and if any should get
changed further,” he said.
The meeting will be hosted by lighting
subcommittee members Jan Reimers and
Michael LePage, with the results and recommendations being reported to the full planning commission at a later date.

ty and reliability of our system, and we are
conducting a thorough investigation into
what happened,” said PG&E spokeswoman
Monica Tell, though she provided no other
information on any aspects of the investigation or how the incident occurred.
Homeowners who want to file damage
claims with the company can do so at
www.pge.com or call (800) 743-5000.
Perkins said firefighters were simply
relieved the blazes weren’t worse.
Considering how close homes are to each
other in Carmel, and how many trees line the
streets and grow in yards here, six burning
houses could quickly become a devastating
conflagration difficult to control.
“We were very pleased the fires hadn’t
extended,” he said.

Temptations their first No. 1 hit.
Already a star by 1964, Motown singer, songwriter and
producer Smokey Robinson wrote “My Girl” and gave it to
the Temptations to record. Robinson was looking for just the
right song to showcase David Ruffin’s voice — and predicted
the song would be a hit.
“Smokey came to see us play in Detroit,” said Otis

Temptations keep harmonizing
As ‘My Girl’ turns 50
HALF-CENTURY after the legendary Motown
Records vocal group’s signature song, “My Girl,” hit the airwaves for the first time, The Temptations perform Friday,
Nov. 21, at the Golden State Theatre in Monterey.
“My Girl” was released just in time for Christmas in 1964.
The song eventually topped the Billboard charts, giving the
MONTEREY
Williams, the last living member of the lineup that recorded
“My Girl,” “After the performance, he looked at David and
said, ‘I’ve got a song for you.’ And David said, ‘Bring it on.’”
In the recording studio, James Jamerson of the Funk
Brothers started off the song with a bass line that pulsated
like a heartbeat. Then, fellow Funk Brother Robert White
added one of the catchiest guitar riffs in pop music history,
setting the stage for Ruffin’s soon-to-be-famous lead vocal
(“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day …”). Williams and the
rest of the Temptations came up with the background vocals
(“hey-hey-hey”). “After we recorded it, I looked at Smokey
and said, ‘Wow, this is going to be a big record,’” Williams
told The Pine Cone.
It wasn’t long before the Temptations discovered how big
a hit “My Girl” would become. They were playing at the
Apollo Theater in Harlem one night when they received a
pair of telegrams congratulating them on “My Girl” reaching
No. 1 on the charts. “One was from [Motown Records
founder] Barry Gordy, and the other was from the Beatles,”

HE Carl Cherry Center for the Arts is encouraging its
supporters to “think small” for the holidays. Its fundraising
holiday exhibit, “Small Miracles,” opens Friday, Nov. 21.
“Artwork has gotten so expensive,” the center’s executive
director Robert Reese told The Pine Cone. “We wanted to
find artwork that’s affordable — not more than $300. We
contacted some of the best artists and put together an exhibit
that offers people an opportunity to get a really good piece of
art at a good price, and raise money for the Cherry Center.”
Included in the show is artwork by painters Leslie Anne
Spowart, Jim Casteel and Mary Liz Houseman, photographers Mary Hill and Steve Zmak, and ceramic artists Mark
Tanous and Embree de Persiis. “Much of their work hasn’t
been displayed publicly before, and some of it was only
recently completed,” Reese added.
The center, at Fourth and Guadalupe, hosts a reception
from 5 to 7 p.m., and the exhibit continues through Dec. 5.

Meanwhile, three artists whose work is featured in a 2015
calendar produced by the Arts Council for Monterey County,
Sylvia Gardner, Robertson Parkman and Robbie Burcar,
unveil an exhibit Friday, in Sunset Center’s Room 5. A reception starts at 4 p.m.
“We are thrilled to present these wonderful artists in this
show,” said Paulette Lynch, the executive director of the arts
council. “They each have amazing stories to tell.”
And an exhibit of photographs by Allison Kendall is on
display at the Carmel Foundation.
“I’ve been photographing everything that catches my eye
for as long as I can remember,” the Monterey photographer
said. The Carmel Foundation is located at Lincoln and
Eighth. The show is on display through the end of the month.

Do good: Donate to the Community Thanksgiving
T
HE ANNUAL Community Thanksgiving feast held at
the Monterey Fairgrounds — where anyone and everyone are
welcome to sit at the table and share the holiday meal with
friends and strangers — has been provided by generous
donors and community service groups for more than four
decades.
This year’s event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. in the
Monterey Room at the Monterey Fairgrounds, where the
Kiwanis Club of Monterey and the Food Bank for Monterey
County will ensure everyone feels welcome and is well fed,
regardless of age, race, income level or any other defining
factors.
The 44th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner is
free — and it can’t happen without the generous support of
the community — so retired Monterey County Superior
Court Judge and Kiwanian Michael Fields is seeking donations to help feed the hundreds of people who will descend
on the fairgrounds, as well as the shut-ins who have their
meals delivered to them.
Anyone interested in donating turkeys, hams, pies, cakes,
money, clothing or anything else should contact Fields, the
event coordinator, at (831) 659-2493, and leave a message.

Support small business, taste holiday wines, and get excited about Il Grillo
S
MALL BUSINESSES of all types, including restaurants (and newspapers), help the local economy thrive, and in
2010, American Express launched a campaign to support
independently owned enterprises during the manic holiday
shopping season: Small Business Saturday.
Since then, it’s grown into a powerful movement that even
directs shoppers to hundreds of businesses on the Monterey
Peninsula. When they register their cards at www.smallbusinesssaturday.com, American Express customers can shop on
Saturday, Nov. 29, at any participating business and receive a
$10 credit on their bills within 90 days, as long as they spend
at least $10. They can take advantage of the offer three times,
for a max of $30 in credits. But shopping online doesn’t
count — they have to hit the pavement in order to reap the
benefits.
Fortunately, dozens of participating businesses are located
in downtown Carmel — and many of them are either restau-
rants, or stores catering to the kitchen.
For getting $10 back in exchange for a good meal, participants have dozens of choices, including:
n AW Shucks, an oyster bar and great place to grab fish
’n’ chips or a burger, on Ocean west of San Carlos at the
entrance to the Doud Arcade;
n The Village Corner at Dolores and Sixth;
n Affina, chef James Anderson’s new restaurant at San
Carlos and Sixth;
n the classic Terry’s Lounge in the Cypress Inn at Lincoln
and Seventh, home of one of the greatest whiskey sours ever
made, as well as a really good steak salad;
n Le St. Tropez on Dolores south of Ocean, specializing
in fabulous dishes from the South of France, as well as
Scallops St. Jacques over pasta, smoked mussels in a broth of
paprika and ginger, and a tasty Croque Monsieur;

Bruno’s Market at Junipero and Sixth for booze and sundries,
The Cheese Shop on the lower floor of the Carmel Plaza for

Patrick Schrady, a guy who knows more about wine than
practically anyone, will be pouring a special lineup at Nielsen
Bros. Market at San Carlos and Seventh Friday, Nov. 21, from
5 to 7 p.m.
The Holiday Wine Tasting he’s planning will include
Schramsberg sparkling wine, Chateau Montelena, Cakebread
(including a new project by the fabled Napa winery),
Domaine Serene, Hall Vineyards, Seghesio — which also has
a new offering — and Noval Port, which means he’ll have
something for everyone.

stuffing and dark meat, gravy and other dishes. So this year,
the Monterey County Vintners & Growers Association created a guide for pairing classic dishes with the appropriate goto wines.
Cheese plates, charcuterie and crab, for instance, go well
with bubbly, while items like winter squash soup, mashed
potatoes and green bean casserole like something a little more
substantial, along the lines of a decently oaky and creamy
Chardonnay. Caesar salad, with anchovies that are rich in
umami, and stuffing and roasted Brussels sprouts, pair well
with herbaceous, bright Sauvignon Blanc. The main meats of
Thanksgiving — turkey, ham or salmon — along with candied yams and cranberry sauce, go well with Pinot Noir’s
fruitiness, complexity and mid-range acidity, while slightly
sweet Riesling loves desserts of pumpkin or pecan pie, and
even chocolate. It’s also delightful as its own dessert.
n If you don’t feel like cooking …
Take a cruise down the coast to celebrate the day of thanks,
and stop at the iconic Big Sur River Inn on Highway 1 26
miles south of Carmel for a traditional (or not so traditional)
feast. Herb-roasted turkey with sage stuffing, gravy, cranberry relish, maple marshmallow yams, garlic mashed potatoes
and seasonal vegetables will be $29.95, while salt-and-pepper-encrusted prime rib au jus, with horseradish cream, garlic
mashed potatoes and veggies will go for $34.95. Pescetarians
can choose the wild Alaskan halibut with rice pilaf, veggies,
and bell pepper sauce for $34.95, and vegetarians can go for
the butternut squash ravioli with garlic bread and brown but-
ter sauce for $29.95. Children 12 and under get lower prices.
The holiday meal will be served from noon to 9 p.m. For
reservations, call (831) 667-2700.
Across the street and a little farther south, the Big Sur
Lodge in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park will stage its own holiday meal from noon to 8 p.m., for $38 per person.
Options for starters include cheeses, crudités, fruit, butternut squash soup, assorted greens or a bistro salad, followed by
traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, boneless ribeye roast with wild mushrooms and horseradish, roasted ham
with pineapple glaze, fresh fish with lemon herb preserves, or
pasta, fettuccine or ratatouille.
Sides are mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables, with
desserts of Chantilly pumpkin pie, fruit — or a surprise. For
reservations, call (831) 667-3100.
The lodge is located in the park at 47225 Highway 1.

For a gourmet version of the annual meal, head to
Bernardus Lodge at 415 West Carmel Valley Road and let
chef Cal Stamenov do the work. Guaranteed to reflect his
sophisticated and creative style, his Thanksgiving meal will
capitalize on local fresh produce, naturally raised meats and
other fine ingredients.
Served from noon to 3:30 p.m., it will cost $75 per adult
and $32 for children between the ages of 5 and 12. The lodge
will close for more than two months just a few days later, and
is set to reopen in mid-February following a remodel. Call

n Look for Il Grillo
Emanuele Bartolini, who owns the popular La Balena restaurant with his wife, Anna,
shared details this week of their plans for a
second place in town that they’ll call Il
Grillo, which means “the cricket” in Italian.
(La Balena means “The Whale,” and both are
characters in the “Pinocchio” fairytale.) Set
to open in February in the former Pastries &
Petals location on Mission Street north of
Fifth, Il Grillo will feature a simple menu and
an affordable wine list for lunch and dinner,
according to Bartolini.
La Balena, led by chef Brad Briske, uses

only pastas made in house, and Bartolini said
all the pasta making will be moved to the
larger kitchen at Il Grillo, freeing up precious
space in La Balena’s tiny one. What’s more,
in addition to providing noodles for both
restaurants, the change in operations will also
allow the public to buy the pastas (and accouterments) to take home and cook themselves.
In the display case that formerly held pas-
tries and other sweets, customers will also be
able to choose cheeses, appetizers, sauces
and salads to take home, and a new coffee
station will turn out all sorts of espresso
drinks.
The outdoor patio will be upgraded to
accommodate al fresco dining, Bartolini
added.

Fire Fighters Save Property
Shortly before six o’clock on Saturday
evening the community was startled by a
vigorous and prolonged fire alarm. The new
Basham cottage on Carmelo Avenue was in
flames. Every member of the Fire
Department and a number of willing assistants responded promptly. The burning
building was situated in the midst of a veritable jungle of dry brush and weeds, and was
entirely destroyed. The fact that a number of
other buildings were not laid in ruins may be
attributed to the effective work and foresight
of the fire department. The cause of the fire
is not known, but it is thought to have resulted from an exploding can of shellac. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Basham were in the house several times during the day. It had been their
intention to move into the place on Sunday.
The loss is partly covered by insurance.
Walter Basham, while playing a stream on
the embers, remarked, “Well boys, it’s all in
a lifetime; look at the fine concrete foundation I have lived.”
Schoolhouse Nearly Completed
In Iowa it used to be said that wherever a
new schoolhouse was erected and maintained, it meant more votes for the
Republican party. However that may be, last
Saturday afternoon there was a house warming and inspection of the new Carmelo district school in Carmel Valley. There were
speeches and music. Carmel Martin and
Supt. Schultzberg were the guests of honor.
The new building takes the place of one of
the oldest schoolhouses in the state. The citizens of the district recently voted bonds for
a new building. The bonds were quickly disposed of.
n 75 Years Ago — Nov. 24, 1939
Property Owners to Pay $62,730
Property owners of the entire Carmel
Sanitary District are invited to attend a hearing called for Monday, Dec. 11, on the
assessment of the district to pay their share
of the $113,980 bill for the new sewage
n 25 Years Ago — Nov. 23, 1989
Caltrans, Foes to Square Off at
treatment plant, two pumping stations, sus- City-Sponsored Forum
pension bridge and connecting sewer lines
and incidental expenses. A hearing has also
been called for next Monday evening on the
assessment of La Loma for sewering that
area. The contract price was $4,451.40, making the total amount for laying sewers in that
area, between Camino Del Monte-Pico and
Carpenter Street and the city limits,
$5,798.66. This compares favorably with the
original estimate of $7,600. The total
assessed value of property on which the sanitary board can levy the cost of the new plant
and accessories is $5,756,740, as of March 1,
1939, according to Sanitary Assessor
Bernard Rowntree. Built with WPA funds,
$47,250 of the cost is to be borne by a federal
grant, for which the board is waiting, and
$4,000 is being contributed by the board
from money on hand. The actual amount to
be raised, therefore, is $62,730. This would
indicate an outright rate of $1.09 or $1.10 per
$100 assessed valuation. The assessments
may be paid within 30 days after the hearings, after which they will automatically go
to bonds. The La Loma series will be ten-year
bonds, while the general district bonds will
be for five years.

Date Set for Sand Castles
If a man’s home is his castle, he can build
it with free materials, on a free lot on Carmel
Beach and be King for a Day. That day is
Sunday, December 6, and the place is
Cooke’s Cove at the foot of Thirteenth Street.
No building permit is necessary and any pine
trees found here may be cut down with
impunity. The occasion is the Great Sand
Castle Contest. This year, the “cultural” event
is sponsored by the local A.I.A. (American
Institute of Architects). Don Brown,
spokesman and general factotum for the funloving group, says that the contest is open to
man, woman, child, or others. “We haven’t set
the exact categories yet,” Don says, “but last
year we offered prizes in Romanesque,
Gothic, Assyrian, Art Nouveau, and
Contemporary, to name a few. We even had a
prize for Largest and Most Confused. We’re
all experts on that, you know.” Last year, the
Grand Prize went to a non-castle display of

proposed Hatton Canyon Freeway have
agreed to disagree. The arena for the latest
conflict concerning the proposed $27 million
freeway is something as seemingly benign as
a city-sponsored forum to let both sides air
their views, which is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 30, at Sunset Center. “They’re
going to use it as a public relations platform,”
charged Carmel architect Robert Larson,
who will make a presentation at the forum.
The Carmel Pine Cone

Not so, countered Caltrans District Director
Tom Pollock. “It was our understanding that
the council wanted it,” Pollock said. “We’d be
glad not to do it.” The bottom line, as has
been the case between the two sides for a
number of years, centers on opposing
designs. Caltrans vehemently endorses a plan
which, in its simplest form, proposes four
lanes going through Hatton Canyon, a complicated interchange at Carmel Valley Road,
an elevated freeway over Rio Road and a new
bridge at the Carmel River. Larson, and
Monterey architect Wallace Holm, who will
also make a presentation at the forum, support a split-route alternative. A split route
would see only two lanes in Hatton Canyon
for northbound traffic, four lanes southbound
traffic on the existing Highway 1 and a lefthand turn lane at Rio Road.

MUSIC
From page 25A
Williams remembered.
More hits followed for the Temptations (“Ain’t Too Proud
To Beg,” “Get Ready,” “Just My Imagination,” “Papa Was A
Rolling Stone,” etc.), but none was as well loved as “My
Girl.” They learned this the hard way one night when they
didn’t play the song.
“The audience darned near called us every name but the
child of God,” Williams said. “We never took it out of the
lineup again.”
Fifty years after it was released, “My Girl” retains an
almost universal appeal.
“The song brings back wonderful memories,” Williams
added. “From the womb to the tomb, most men would just
like to have a woman they can call, ‘My Girl.’ The song
speaks from the heart and soul about desire and the emotions
of being human.”
The music starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $45 to $56. The theater is located at 417 Alvarado St. Call (831) 649-1070 or
visit www.goldenstatetheatre.com.
n Musicians rally for Jamesburg School
To raise money for the nonprofit Jamesburg School, John
Michael, Linda Prejean Springer, Stephen Tosh, Lynn
Jones, and Mark Kraft present an afternoon of music from
the 1930s and 1940s Sunday, Nov. 23, at Hidden Valley Music
Seminars in Carmel Valley.
The proceeds will help pay the legal bills the school
incurred when it successfully fended off an adverse possession lawsuit in July. “I am happy to report that due to the support and generosity of the community we have made major
progress on our legal bill,” said Michelle Prejean of the
school.
The event, which starts at 1 p.m., also features a buffet,

n Christopher Kimball’s facts
In taking his “America’s Test Kitchen” live on the road,
including a stop at Sunset Center last week, Christopher
Kimball — who also founded Cook’s Illustrated magazine
and is a hero to culinary geeks everywhere — orchestrated a
90-minute show that included demonstrations, science experiments, interesting facts and vignettes.
Among them: Steam conducts heat better than water, so
it’s more effective to steam your eggs than to boil them. It
costs about $12,000 to undertake the experimental process
that yields a failsafe recipe for just about anything (including
soft-boiled eggs) in the test kitchen, and the lengthiest was for
old fashioned chocolate cake, which required baking some
130 experimental cakes to arrive at the final recipe. “I didn’t
eat chocolate cake for two years after that,” Kimball said.
Furthermore, imitation vanilla might taste fine but is
derived from paper manufacturing (!). Gluten, the protein in
wheat flour, is strong enough to be blown into a helium balloon when mixed with water and then rinsed of its starches.
And the most effective way to whisk eggs is with a side-toside motion.
What was most entertaining, though, were the insights into
how people cook at home. His favorite stories from readers
include a woman who complained a recipe for cream-cheese
pound cake didn’t work after she substituted the flour for a
blend of non-gluten flours, the butter with imitation butter,
the cream cheese with the fat-free variety and the eggs with
egg substitute, and then added baking soda and baking powder.
Then there was the woman who was trying to pound her
piece of pork to one-half-inch thickness, as described in
another ATK recipe. When using the bottom of a frying pan
didn’t work, she resorted to standing on it in hiking boots and
then backing over it with her car — where the mailman
walked up to find her, still in her bathrobe but in boots, in the
garage trying to fish out the poor meat from underneath the
family minivan.

n Affina dinner benefits CASA
The new Affina restaurant at San Carlos and Sixth will
host a wine dinner to benefit Voices for Children — CASA
on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m.
The five-course prix fixe will feature special dishes created by chef James Anderson, and the evening will include a
wine auction, too. Reservations are available between 6 and
8:30 p.m. and cost $85 per person.
CASA, court-appointed special advocates, helps abused
and foster children navigate the court system and receive the
services they need, including educational resources and support, as well as mentoring. Children with a CASA do better
in school, have fewer behavioral problems, are more likely to
find a permanent home and are less likely to reenter the foster
care system, according to the organization.
To reserve a spot, call (831) 915-4756.
