Pro-Am basks in perfect weather Lawsuit filed over gruesome hospital mixup

By KELLY NIX

A YOUNG couple filed a lawsuit last week against a prominentSalinas hospital alleging its staff mixed up their stillborn baby’s fetus withanother dead fetus and notified them of the error five weeks after the cou-ple had buried the wrong body.

Ahmed Musa, 24, and Hana Mohammed Dharhan, 23, newlyweds wholive in Salinas, contend in a Feb. 2 lawsuit against Salinas Valley MemorialHospital that hospital workers gave themthe wrong fetus after Dharhan delivered astillborn baby — a girl identified in theirlawsuit as “Baby Musa.”

According to the lawsuit, Baby Musa’sbody had been unknowingly stored in thehospital’s morgue for five weeks, “allowingit to decompose and mildew.” The body wasdiscovered after an employee noticed a fetuswith Hana Dharhan’s name on it.

“The Musas have sued the hospitalbecause they want to make sure that thisnever happens again to another family,”their attorney, Anne Marie Murphy of theBurlingame law firm Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, told The Pine Cone.

The lawsuit, filed in Monterey County Superior Court, alleges negli-gence and infliction of emotional distress. Musa and Dharhan are seekinga jury trial. The suit doesn’t specify the amount of money they say the hos-pital should pay for its error.

A pregnancy gone wrongThe couple’s nightmare began last September, about 18 weeks into

Dharhan’s pregnancy, when doctors told them their baby was sick and prob-ably wouldn’t survive. Not long after that, a doctor told them the baby hadno heartbeat, the complaint says.

Dharhan was given drugs to induce labor, and she delivered the stillborn

Father sues son over Mucky Duck ‘fraud’

By MARY BROWNFIELD

WHEN THE crowds in town for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am go home next week, any garbage they leave on CarmelBeach will have to be picked up by hand — because peopleare better at cleaning the beach than a machine is.

That’s the conclusion of the forest and beach commission,which recommended the city end its trial use of a beach rake

The city council decided human hands are better than heavymachinery when it comes to beach cleaning.

towed by a tractor to clean charcoal and other debris from thefamous white sands.

In December 2010, the commission reviewed the perfor-mance of the mechanized rake, which was only used for aweek, and concluded it would make more sense to spend cityfunds on increased manpower than on the machine.

According to city forester Mike Branson’s Feb. 1 report tothe Carmel City Council, commissioners identified the lackof secure storage at the beach for the machinery as a concernand said the rake’s effectiveness was often hampered by fresh

■ Owner incurred $55K in bank overdraft fees, suit says

By KELLY NIX

THE CO-OWNER of The Mucky Duck — theMonterey pub where a gunman shot three people onNew Year’s Eve — has filed a lawsuit against his sonfor fraud and misappropriation of funds.

In a lawsuit filed Feb. 2, John Waddell alleges hisson, Eric Waddell, mismanaged and misused TheMucky Duck’s business account by spending morethan $10,000 on personal trips, giving thousands ofdollars to family and friends, and incurring a stagger-ing $55,000 in bank overdraft fees.

John Waddell, who alleges fraud and breach offiduciary duty in the complaint, is asking a judge todissolve the limited liability company under which thebar exists. Waddell is also seeking punitive and exem-plary damages.

But the suit is also part of an effort to resolve dis-putes between the two about how the Mucky Duckyshould be run. “We’re working together. We both ownthe business, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” JohnWaddell said Thursday.

THE CARMEL Planning Commission on Wednesdaypaid compliments to a pair of architects as it granted permitsfor the demolition of homes on Ninth Avenue south ofCamino Real and on the corner of Monte Verde and 11th, andapproved the houses that will replace them.

The first project, proposed by Greg and Valerie Quiring,was a long time coming. The Quirings and their architect,Warren Thompson, made major modifications to the plansfor their proposed two-story home after a neighbor to the eastcomplained about impacts to her views when commissionersfirst discussed the application last September.

In response, the owners decided to move the 363-square-foot second story that would have blocked her view to a dif-ferent section of the house, which will be 1,233 square feeton the first floor and contain a 100-square-foot basement.The plans call for board-and-batten siding downstairs, shin-

gle siding upstairs and unclad wood windows. A 204-square-foot detached garage will be built toward the front of theproperty.

“Given what the program was, I think Greg did a verygood job, and I think I should at least say everything is OKwith us, because we are the main neighbors who are con-cerned,” Wayne Katsumata said on behalf of his mother, wholives east of the Quirings’ property.

But also he asked that they keep their hedge trimmed lowenough to not disrupt his mother’s views, and planning com-missioners agreed to impose that requirement on theQuirings. They unanimously approved the plans for the newhouse and also decided not to impose the city forester’srequirement that the owners plant two new tall trees, consid-ering their potential view impacts.

Commissioners Victoria Beach and Steve Dallas praisedthe applicants for their willingness and efforts to appease theneighbor.

A few blocks away on the southwest corner of MonteVerde and 11th Avenue, Steve Knox plans to knock down ahouse and replace it with a two-story home calling for 1,157square feet on the first floor, 436 square feet on the secondstory and a 207-square-foot detached garage. Architect CraigHoldren designed the home with wood shingle siding, awood shake roof, a stone wainscot and unclad windows.

Associate planner Marc Wiener commended Holdren fordoing “a nice job of designing the residence around two sig-nificant oak trees on the south side of the property.”

“I think your plan is absolutely phenomenal,” Dallas toldHoldren, praising his use of wood and a design that stepsdown the property’s slope. “This is what I personally love,and you have my full support.”

Chair Jan Reimers said she liked “the simplicity of thelines.”

The commission unanimously approved Knox’ applica-tion.

Help with small lotIn February 2003, the planning commission approved a

lot-line adjustment to create a 3,000-square-foot parcel and a2,000-square-foot parcel on the north side of Eighth Avenuebetween Junipero and Mission, with homes to be built oneach lot. While one residence was constructed, the buildingproposed for the smaller lot never was, and the permitslapsed.

On Wednesday — representing property owners Christineand Stephanie Simonian — designer John Mandurrago andMid Coast Investments principal Kirk Probasco asked theplanning commission for advice and feedback on their pro-posal to construct a home and a low-rent apartment on thesmall lot. The low-income unit would allow them a bonus infloor area — so they could have substantially more than the900 square feet planning and building services manager SeanConroy said would be allowed for a single-family home

AN ATTORNEY representing a homeowner upset overthe City of Pacific Grove’s efforts to expand hours and serveliquor at the municipal golf course clubhouse is threateningthe city with a CEQA lawsuit if it doesn’t back down from itsplans.

Attorney John Bridges, representing John Troth, emaileda four-page letter to city planner Ashley Hefner Feb. 2demanding the city’s planning commission turn down theplan to “avoid the substantial costs of an environmentalimpact report and possible litigation” over “potentially sig-nificant adverse environmental impacts that have not beenmitigated.”

Troth, who lives on Del Monte Boulevard across from theclubhouse parking lot, objects to the city’s plan to let thefacility stay open later, serve liquor and offer amplified

music.Bridges contends the project violates the California

Environmental Quality Act.“The proposed project ... will result in the detriment to

the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfareof persons residing in the neighborhood as well as depressionof property values in the immediate neighborhood,” he said.

Bridges contends the city has to complete an environmen-tal impact report for the project before approving.

His determination challenges Hefner’s Dec. 21 report, inwhich she recommended a much lower level of environmen-tal review — a “mitigated negative declaration” — afterweighing potential impacts on noise, community aesthetics,traffic and global warming.

Though the planning commission was slated to hear theissue Feb. 17, Hefner said the city will request it be placed ona March meeting instead.

“There are just too many items we need to follow up on,”Hefner told The Pine Cone.

The city has received about 80 comment letters on theproposed project.

“They are varied and range in opposition, to people infavor and some in the middle,” she explained.

The city wants to extend the clubhouse’s hours from 6a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and expand the facility to generate morerevenue by accommodating weddings and receptions, livemusic and other events. The clubhouse is currently open fromdusk to dawn.

However, Bridges contends the project is inconsistentwith the city’s general plan and zoning and that the city’sreport is “inadequate” because it doesn’t provide “any sub-stantive analysis” of the of land use and planning issues.

“The proposed project’s extension of hours to accommo-date late-night restaurant activities, hard liquor sales, outsideamplified music and non-golf related special events is noway pertinent to golf or compatible with open land useissues,” according to Bridges.

The city’s study also fails to adequately address noiseimpacts, water use, property values and “the myriad uniqueimpacts associated with the operation of a hard liquor bar insuch a peaceful open space.”

Troth is among a vocal group of Pacific Grove residents,including activists Jim and Lee Willoughby and SusanGoldbeck, Lorna Torkos and Roger Pasquier, who have pub-licly opposed the clubhouse expansion.

The city is also seeking an architectural permit for theinstallation of eight light fixtures in the clubhouse parking lotand low-wattage lighting along walkways.

The clubhouse project has also received criticism from theOhlone Costanoan Esselen Nation. In a Jan. 19 letter to thecity, a tribal chairperson contends the area where the club-house has been identified as a “culturally sensitive area.”

“There are many areas including Point Pinos surroundedby registered cultural and sacred sites of our people,” accord-ing to the letter written by Louise J. Miranda Ramirez.

“How would you like it if your home was across the street

THE CARMEL City Council narrowlysplit last week in favor of applying for a$150,000 taxpayer-funded grant fromCaltrans to help make the city more friendlyfor pedestrians and bicyclists.

“This was a grant opportunity that cameto my attention, and I wanted to bring it tothe council’s attention as soon as possible toget guidance if this is something we want togo after,” explained councilman JasonBurnett. “I didn’t think we wanted to spendstaff’s time and other groups’ time preparingsomething the council didn’t have interest inpursuing, and that is why it is not a fullyfleshed out grant application at this point.”

According to a report from city adminis-trator Rich Guillen, the grant, which wouldrequire a 10 percent match from the City ofCarmel in money and labor, would be usedto:

“Study relevant issues, consult withexperts and citizens, identify missing links,and plan and promote a more connected citywhere visitors as well as residents couldforego cars and still easily access everyattraction within the city, connect safely tolocal and regional hiking or biking trails, anduse an expanded transit system to reach near-by attractions and transportation hubs.”

Guillen said the money would be used todevelop ideas for ways to connect schools,parks, neighborhoods and other attractions,making the city a better place to walk andbike. If the ideas became reality, Carmelwould be a healthier place and could marketitself as such, enabling it to “tap the growingmarket for active travel and events [and]elongate visitor hotel stays.” The pedestrian-and bike-friendly projects would also reducevehicle traffic and cut greenhouse gases.

“If the council is interested in this, thenstaff and others would work over the nextmonth and bring something to council inMarch with those details,” Burnett said. Thegrant application is due at the end of nextmonth.

“This is a planning grant, not a doinggrant, just to be clear,” he said, adding thatthe plan would help identify and solve“missing links” in the network of biking andwalking trails throughout the MontereyPeninsula.

Councilwomen Karen Sharp and PaulaHazdovac wondered where the money wouldcome from not just for the city’s match, butfor the project’s construction, but Burnettand councilman Ken Talmage suspected that,despite the state’s budget crisis, they could

Gun stolen from P.G. man decadesago surfaces in San Jose arrest

By MARY BROWNFIELD

A SMITH & Wesson .38-caliber Chief’sSpecial discovered in the SUV of a convict-ed felon arrested in San Jose last month for asuspected DUI crash had been stolen from aPacific Grove man almost a half-centuryago, according to police.

“This guy, Stanley Kelley, called us andsaid he got a phone call from San Jose P.D.that they had recovered a gun,” that was reg-istered to him but which he had not seen fordecades, according to PGPD Cmdr. JohnNyunt.

“He purchased the handgun in SouthernCalifornia in 1963 after he had just gottenout of the Marine Corps, and he was living inPacific Grove, renting a house near the oldtrailer park on 17 Mile Drive, in 1964,” hesaid. The gun was stolen, and he suspectedthe landlord.

The following year, Kelley moved toMendocino and apparently didn’t give itmuch further thought.

That is, until San Jose officers trackedhim down to advise him they had found the

old Smith & Wesson in the damaged maroon2001 Chevy Tahoe being driven by 33-year-old San Jose resident Armando Arellano onJan. 9, according to SJPD officer JoseGarcia.

“He was contacted by an officer whoobserved him in a car with front-end dam-age, smoke coming out of the engine and aleaking radiator, and driving fast,” he said.“It was apparent to the officer this personmight have been involved in a collision andfled the scene.”

After Arellano pulled over, the officertalked to him, smelled alcohol on his breathand arrested him on suspicion of drunkendriving and being involved in a crash, thoughGarcia did not know the details of the colli-sion. A second officer searching the Tahoefound the gun.

“This person also turned out to be a con-victed felon,” Garcia said of Arellano, mak-ing his possession of the firearm illegal.

Citing an active investigation, Garciawould not say how Arellano came to possess

Sticker shock — supervisor blasts general plan price tagBy CHRIS COUNTS

AFTER LISTENING to the county’splanning staff present details of implement-ing the 2010 Monterey County General Plan,2nd District Supervisor Lou Calcagnoexpressed outrage over its cost to taxpayers,which is estimated to exceed $8 million.

“Anybody in the public is going to look at$8 million and think we’re a bunch of nuts,”Calcagno said at a supervisors’ meeting Jan.25. “There’s no way we’re going to spend $8million of taxpayers’ money for this plan.”

The Monterey County Board ofSupervisors voted unanimously in October2010 to adopt the general plan, ending a con-tentious process that lasted more than adecade. Several lawsuits have since beenfiled challenging its adequacy under stateenvironmental laws.

But even if the general plan survives thelegal challenges, the cost of its implementa-tion is certain to be high.

Addressing the cost of bringing the gen-eral plan into action, Calcagno remindedcounty staff of the economic challenges thecounty — as well as many of its residents —are facing. “People are hungry and need

ners presented supervisors with a choice ofthree strategies for putting the new generalplan into action. The supervisors voted unan-imously to endorse the option that wouldcomplete the process in the shortest time

jobs,” he continued. “Government isn’tgoing to survive the way it is working.”

The plan advocates spending about $4.7million on the salaries of consultants. “Wecould hire attorneys and do it cheaper thanthat,” Calcagno suggested.

Staff costs, meanwhile, will total about$3.7 million.

The supervisor said he would be keepinga close eye on how much the county spendsto implement the plan.

“I’m going to be watching this with afine-toothed comb,” he said. “I’m going tobe against this until I see every detail.”

If the work program is implemented, thecounty will spend $400,000 on it this fiscalyear, $3.6 million in 2011/2012, $3.2 millionin 2012/2013 and $1.2 million in 2013/2014.

While supervisors agreed to move for-ward with the implementation plan, theydirected the county’s staff to seek ways toreduce its costs. Assistant planning directorCarl Holm told The Pine Cone his depart-ment is working on complying with thesupervisors’ request, although he said therecurrently is no time table for completing thework.

At a Dec. 14, 2010 meeting, county plan-

frame.The 2010 general plan will guide growth

in the county’s unincorporated areas over thenext 20 years.

KINGFrom page 1A

“She was a unique character,” Nicorasaid. “And enjoyable and opinionated on justabout anything you wanted to talk about.”

It is the events that unfolded in the pastsix years for which King is largely known tothe public.

In September 2005, King — whose hus-band was an heir to the family that owned thefamed King Ranch in Texas — was removedfrom her oceanfront home on the 1600 blockof Sunset Drive after Pacific Grove Policefound her living in squalidconditions, which includedceiling-high piles of clutter.

Police had raided King’sproperty, where her grandniece, Cynthia Hurley, alsolived, looking for drugs.Though officers found asmall amount of marijuana,they also discovered Kingliving in unsafe conditions.

The main house whereKing lived and a ram-shackle unit Hurley residedin were condemned, andKing was placed into thecare of Monterey CountyAdult Protective Servicesbefore moving to one of thefive other P.G. houses she owned.

After the raid, King reported that many ofthe valuable coins she had stored in herhouse were missing. Hurley was chargedwith the theft.

About $2 million in coins — as well as artand jewelry — missing from the house havenever been recovered, although court recordsshow that there was evidence people hadtried to sell the stolen Krugerrands and othercoins to local shops.

King was also hit with another theft whenabout $500,000 of her coins were stolenfrom a storage unit in Monterey. King filedsuit against the storage company in a casethat was settled out of court in 2010.

King’s quick wit and sense of humor drew

laughter during her June 2006 testimony ather grand niece’s preliminary hearing oncharges of financial elder abuse, fraud andembezzlement for taking the coins.

When Monterey County Superior CourtJudge Russell Scott asked how old she was,King — adorned in gold bracelets and ringsand bright red lipstick — stated she was“over 39,” before whispering her true ageinto Scott’s ear.

Though Hurley had told The Pine Coneshe took care of her aunt, King refuted that atthe court hearing.

“She never looked after me,” King toldthe judge. “I paddled my own canoe, and I

was glad to do it.”Hurley later pleaded no

contest to taking tens of thou-sands of dollars worth ofcoins, which she claimed shehad done with King’s permis-sion to pay off the hefty prop-erty tax bills she owed onKing’s real estate. Hurleyspent less than a year in jailbefore being released.

Last year, Nicora launchedan investigation into allega-tions of financial improprietyin the management of herestate. The query is ongoing,and no suspects have beennamed. But Nicora saidKing’s death may complicate

the investigation.“Obviously, it does change things,” he

said. “We are going to have to go to courtand find out how we are going to proceed.It’s unfortunate she passed, because I thinkwe were fairly close” to completing theinvestigation.

King had an estate worth about $6.5 mil-lion, including $1 million in cash, accordingto a court document filed in November 2008.

Though it’s not clear if she had any livingheirs, court records show the Lillian M. KingTrust was established at her request to “ben-efit her local community and its childrenthrough educational programs and opportu-nities that cement this country’s foundation-al principles of freedom, liberty and justice.”

BE MY VALENTINEWe have had a lot of

questions about halitosis(bad breath) since our lastarticle, so we thought wewould summarize the topicagain. What causes badbreath and what can I doabout it?. Being thatValentine’s Day is around thecorner most of us are gettingready to give that specialsomeone a good smooch.However, there are some ofus that are concerned thattheir kiss may not be as wellreceived as they would like.There are so many over thecounter products that addressthe mal odor problem, but doany of these products work?They may work temporarily,and also may have very littleimpact on the problem.

The etiology of halitosisstems from both orally aswell as internally, althoughonly a small percentage areaffected from internal caus-es. The primary reason forhalitosis is orally. The mouthis filled with bacteria. Thisbacteria that causes decay,gum disease and infection isalso responsible for halitosis.It is the sulphur compounds,which cause the odor.

The treatment is easierthan one thinks. Once the eti-ology is determined, thecourse of action is generallyvery simple. If you are con-cerned about halitosis orconcerned for someone, giveus a call to examine your spe-cific reason and kiss halitosisgoodbye.

To open Point Lobos Ranch park, local nonprofit will spend big $$$By CHRIS COUNTS

FIVE YEARS after the California Department of Parksand Recreation acquired the Point Lobos Ranch, it remainsclosed to the public. But that is likely to change, in large partbecause of the generosity of a local nonprofit group.

The Point Lobos Foundation has agreed to contribute upto $250,000 to fund a general plan for state parkland locatedin the Monterey Ranger District. Also benefiting from thegift will be Point Lobos State Reserve, Carmel River StateBeach and state-owned property in Hatton Canyon.

Due to the massive budget constraints it faces, state parkshas been unable to pay for the general plan, which local offi-cials say is necessary to open the park.

The 1,312-acre Point Lobos Ranch, which is denselyforested with Monterey pines, is located across Highway 1from Point Lobos State Reserve.

According to Point Lobos Foundation President SkipFlohr, the ranch is a local treasure worth opening “The PointLobos Foundation believes this beautiful piece of propertyshould be open to the public,” said Flohr in a letter he sent to

The Pine Cone this week.Local state park officials asked the group for support,

Flohr said. The pledge is likely to cover about half theexpense of the general plan.

“A comprehensive and well written general plan is costly,”he observed. “Because of the condition of the California bud-get and its effect on the state parks budget, the Monterey dis-trict has asked the foundation for assistance in funding it.”

Flohr said he was unable to provide any specifics aboutthe development of the ranch as a park — in partly becausethe public will be involved in the decision-making process.He encouraged the public to attend hearings on the plan.They have not yet been scheduled.

“The development of a general plan will include a numberof public hearings to solicit input,” he said. “This input willbe extremely important in determining what is included inthe plan, as well as what is excluded. We strongly recom-mend that you attend these hearings to let the developers ofthe new plan know your feelings and your recommenda-tions.”

Dana Jones, Monterey sector superintendent for state

parks, also urged the public to voice suggestions and con-cerns at the hearings.

“We’re going to be very diligent about public comment,”Jones said.

In addition to comments about the future park’s accessand trails, the hearings will likely include talk about creatinga parking area off Highway 1. “There has been some discus-sion to have some parking added at Point Lobos Ranch or inSan Jose Creek Canyon,” Jones confirmed.

Currently, many visitors to the reserve park alongHighway 1. While some consider the practice dangerous, thesubject is unlikely to be discussed at the hearings, becausethe highway falls under the jurisdiction of the CaliforniaDepartment of Transportation, not state parks.

The hearings are likely to include some discussion of avisitors center as well, Jones added. The Point LobosFoundation has endorsed the idea.

Once the general plan is completed, Jones said the parkcould be opened to the public within a year or two.

Point Lobos Ranch was acquired by state parks in twoseparate transactions totaling $13 million. That money camefrom state taxpayers via Proposition 117.

Police track down rape suspects in Carmel, P.G.By MARY BROWNFIELD

CARMEL POLICE arrested a 29-year-old CarmelValley man on suspicion of raping a woman in a San CarlosStreet apartment Feb. 5, and last month, officers from Marinaarrested a 57-year-old Pacific Grove man suspected of simi-lar offenses in their city.

According to Carmel Police Sgt. Mel Mukai, the victim inhis case and her alleged attacker, Trafton Chandler, had beeninvited to stay the night at a mutual friend’s home and weresleeping in separate areas of the living room.

“The victim awoke and wasn’t sure what was occurring,”Mukai said. Trafton was near her, and when she asked whathe was doing, he didn’t answer.

“Eventually, the victim was frantic, and one of the otherhouseguests called 911,” he said. “And, obviously, we gotinvolved.”

Mukai did not know the victim’s state of mind at the time,including whether she was sober, but based on statements shemade, officers arrested Trafton on suspicion of felony forcedoral copulation, felony penetration by a foreign/unknownobject and misdemeanor sexual battery.

He and his alleged victim underwent testing and evalua-tion by the sexual assault response team at CommunityHospital of the Monterey Peninsula, and Mukai said theresults are pending.

On Jan. 25, Marina police arrested Pacific Grove residentBenny Torres after he reportedly raped a woman somewhere

CHS hoopsters keep their streaks alive; girls’ run reaches 16By CHRIS COUNTS

FOR BOTH the boys and girls basketball teams atCarmel High School this season, it’s been nothing but net.

The girls cruised to an easy 56-26 victory Tuesday atPacific Grove High as they extended their winning streak to16 games. The boys, meanwhile, captured their 10th straightwin Friday after breezing past visiting Soledad High 77-35.

Playing against their arch rivals, the girls were led by JuleMuegge, who scored 22 points. She had help from SarahAnderson, who added 13 points and five steals, and KayleeVandenberg, who scored 10 points and grabbed sevenrebounds. Emma Fuzie, meanwhile, helped to keep thehome team from finding an offensive groove by blockingfour shots.

The girls also cruised to an easy 68-43 victory Friday atSoledad High for their 15th straight win.

The Padres were led by the one-two scoring punch ofMuegge, who put up 24 points, and Anderson, who added 13points and sank three shots from beyond the arc. MackenzieDooner controlled the boards by hauling down 10 rebounds.

Muegge continues to lead all players in the Monterey Bayregion in scoring with an average of 20 points a game, morethan two points better than any other player in the region. Shealso ranks fourth in steals with 77.

Anderson stands above all other three-point shooters withan average of more than three baskets a game. Only one otherplayer in the region even averages two baskets a game frombeyond the arc. She’s also ninth in assists with 59.

A high-risk, high-reward defensive approach is showingresults for Carmel High. “The team is buying into our systemand it’s paying off,” he added.

The Padres were getting ready for their tip-off against vis-iting Gonzales High when The Pine Cone went to pressThursday. Next up for the boys is a game Monday againstMarina High at Monterey Peninsula College and another athome against Greenfield High Wednesday.

The boys are now 10-0 in league play and 16-4 overall.

Wait ‘til next yearFor the next year, the Headgear Trophy will reside in

Pacific Grove.The Carmel High wrestling team fell to Pacific Grove

High Wednesday, in large part because the school doesn’thave enough wrestlers.

“Even though the Padres won more matches, forfeits costthem the team victory,” wrestling coach Russ Shugarsexplained. “This has been our problem all year. We have notbeen able to fill all of the weight classes. It is tough to win ateam victory when you spot your opponent 18 points.”

As a result of the loss, Carmel High had to hand over themuch sought-after Headgear Trophy, which symbolizes the

Dooner ranks 10th among Monterey Bay rebounders withmore than eight a game. She also ranks 10th in blocks with19. Fuzie is eighth with 21 rejections.

After dispatching the Aztecs, the Padres are 11-0 inleague play and 18-2 overall.

As The Pine Cone went to press Thursday, the girls wereat Gonzales High, taking on the Spartans. Next up forCarmel High is a home game Tuesday against Santa CatalinaSchool and a road game Thursday against Greenfield High.

Boys streak now at 10Against Soledad High Friday, the boys were led by a well

balanced attack that featured four scorers in double figures.Kyle Peerless paced the Padres with 15 points, followed byGarret Woodward with 12 points, and Jason Weilenmannand Devin Pearson with 11 points each. All four players areaveraging more than 10 points a game.

“We came out fast,” coach Ryan Sanchez explained. “Itwas probably the best start we’ve had all year. We scored 28points in the first quarter and opened up a huge lead.”

Two days earlier, against Stevenson School, the Padresoutlasted Stevenson School 40-33.

“They made it close,” Sanchez said of the peskyStevenson team. “We didn’t shoot particularly well, but wewere able to stop them down the stretch with our defense.”

WITH THE appointment of Christine Sandin as the newmanaging director of Sunset Center this week, the nonprofitthat runs the city-owned venue hopes to take it in a differentdirection, according to Sunset Cultural Center Inc. boardchairman Jim Price. While the theater will continue hostingperformances, the center should draw more multi-day festi-vals, weddings, conferences and other activities that will gen-erate more money for the center and the city.

“She seemed exceptionally qualified for our objectives,”Price told The Pine Cone Wednesday. “She has a very posi-tive attitude and a lot of experience with both venue man-agement and event presentation.”

Sandin was selected from among seven candidates whointerviewed for the top Sunset Center job previously held byPeter Lesnik, who stepped down from full-time work tobecome a consultant a few months ago.

But she is not new to Sunset.“Christine has been a consultant to SCC for the last two

years on marketing and development and was part-time, inthat she had other clients,” Price said. “So she, among others,expressed interest in the permanent position, and it workedout.”

According to Price, while working part-time for the cen-ter, Sandin implemented new marketing strategies that gen-erated a 10 percent increase in tickets sales. He said she wasalso instrumental in researching and identifying new ways toraise money and expand use of the facility, including as a sitefor weddings, which it began hosting a year ago.

“Our prior directors had their primary strength in present-

ing performances at SunsetCenter, which obviously isan important element of ourrole,” Price said. “However,SCC is charged with a muchbroader responsibility by thecity which would includeconferences, seminars, spe-cial events, weddings —activities that are not only abenefit to the people ofCarmel but bring business toCarmel.”

Those options have notreceived much attention inthe past, according to Price,leaving that market largelyuntapped. He said Sandin“does have a strong interestand qualifications in presenting events,” which he differenti-ated from performances.

“‘Event’ means multi-day, like the Carmel Art and FilmFestival and the Authors and Ideas Festival,” he said. “Wewant to do more of that. We will not be decreasing show pre-sentations but will be putting much more effort into thosekinds of events.”

A programming committee that began meeting weekly asof Jan. 1 is in charge of fielding proposals for onstage enter-tainment, and Price expects to release the center’s upcoming

Artist helps with personal V-Daycards — ‘great for the soul’

By CHRIS COUNTS

FOR MANY, a Valentine’s Day card isnothing more than something to buy off arack in a drug store. But for Big Sur painterErin Gafill, who prefers to make her owncards, it’s an opportunity to be creative.

Gafill will offer a demonstrationSaturday, Feb. 12, at the Carmel BayCompany on how to make a Valentine’s Daycard.

“Making something beautiful with yourhands is great for the soul,” Gafill explained.“Kids of all ages are welcome to join me tocreate something beautiful, personal andunique to delight their special Valentine.We’ll be tearing paper, working with waxand watercolor, and making small gifts forthose we love.”

Gafill encourages everyone to give card-making a try — even if you consider yourselfartistically challenged.

“The act of making and giving something

from the heart is more important than per-fection and way better than a Hallmark card,”she added. “No experience is necessary.”

Also featured Saturday at the Carmel BayCompany will be Molly Hyde English, whowill sign copies of her book, “VintageCottages.” Patti Wells, meanwhile will unveila new collection of jewelry. A generous sam-pling of Lula’s Chocolates will sweeten upthe affair.

The event begins at noon. The CarmelBay Company is located at Ocean andLincoln. For more information, call (831)624-3868 or visit www.carmelbaycompa-ny.com.

John Tesh: A man of many careersBy CHRIS COUNTS

COUNTLESS PEOPLE have given up awell-paying job to do what they love. It’sdoubtful, though, that very many of themwere making as much money as composerand performer John Tesh.

“I’m the poster boy for quitting your joband following your dream,” explained Tesh,who performs Saturday, Feb. 12, at SunsetCenter.

When Tesh decided to become a profes-sional musician in 1996, he left his “day job”as host of “Entertainment Tonight.” He hadgrown so tired of the job that “I wasn’t evenpaying attention. I wanted to play music.”

“When I quit, people said to me, ‘Are youout of your mind?’” Tesh told The Pine Conethis week. “I was making seven figures and Iwas working four hours a day.”

Tesh had long desired to pursue his musi-cal aspirations. Growing up on Long Islandin the late 1960s, he gravitated toward music— despite the expectation by his family thathe was destined to study chemistry andphysics in college. “We had jocks andgreasers and geeks, and I ended up being ageek,” he remembered. “I was in the march-ing band.”

Despite his affection for music — and thefact that he was named to the New York State

Symphonic Orchestra — Tesh studied com-munications in college. After graduation, hetook a job as a news anchor in Durham, N.C.Over the next decade, he worked at a variety

After landing TV spot, Big Sursongstress unveils new material

By CHRIS COUNTS

ONCE UPON a time, getting a song onthe radio was a songwriter’s greatest aspira-tion. Today, though, the goal of many song-writers is to hear their music played on thesoundtrack of a popular television series.

An original song by part-time Big Surresident and full-time singer-songwriterRebecca Sayre was featured last year in theFOX series, “So You Think You Can Dance.”For Sayre — who performs Friday, Feb. 11,at Plaza Linda In Carmel Valley andSaturday, Feb. 12, at the Works in PacificGrove — the primetime cameo by her song,“New Girl,” could be the big break she’sbeen waiting for.

“It really gave my confidence a boost,”said Sayre of inclusion of her song on thepopular show.

For Sayre, whose music offers a tantaliz-ing mix of pop, jazz, swing and country, the

interest in her song by television executivescaught her by surprise.

“I didn’t have to do anything,” explainedSayre, who lives in Nashville for much of theyear. “They called me.”

Now it’s up to Sayre to take advantage ofthe publicity created by the television show.She’s been crafting a new batch of songs, andthis weekend she’ll have an opportunity totry them out on her family, friends andneighbors.

“They’re a solid bunch of tunes,” she said.“I’ve been working on the arrangements andthey blend together well. I have enoughsongs for an album, but I want to play themin Carmel Valley and Pacific Grove and seeif I still like them before I go into the record-ing studio.”

Sayre is hopeful that attention focused on“New Girl,” as well as her new material, will

Bountiful breakfasts, recipesfor love, and Cienega Valley

By MARY BROWNFIELD

‘WE WANT to do really good foodthat locals will appreciate,” said John Cox,chef of La Bicyclette and Casanova restau-rants in Carmel. “We want to be that neigh-borhood restaurant where people come inand say it’s honest and is the best value.”

He also wants the recently expandedBicyclette at Dolores and Seventh to be thefirst place people think of when they want acup of good coffee, a superlative croissantand a place to relax and read the morningpaper.

Capitalizing on the talents of pastry chefSara Spudowski and owners Gaston andWalter Georis’ love and support for top-notch ingredients and local sources, Coxbegan serving a French-style breakfast at thecasual venue less than two weeks ago and isnow offering a morning menu from 8 to 11

a.m. daily.The centerpiece is the pastries crafted

from 100 percent high-quality butter crois-sant dough and puff pastry, both made byhand daily under Spudowski’s guidance.Three flavors of croissants — plain, choco-late (utilizing a custom blend of Valrhona),and ham and Gruyere — are sold every day.A fourth pastry changes daily, based on whatSpudowski feels like making and what fruitsare in season. On Tuesday, it was applefrangipane, delightfully tender and not toosweet. Monday calls for blackberry-lavenderscones, while Saturday features decadentbrioche cinnamon rolls with pecans andbrown sugar, and Sunday stars strawberry-rhubarb Danish. The quality and care that gointo the pastries are unmissable in the flavorand texture they impart.

■ A Spanish breakfastJust a block from La Bicyclette, tucked in a little court-

yard on San Carlos Street, Mundaka restaurantserves a Spanish-style brunch on weekends from10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In contrast to the Frenchr e s t a u r a n t ’ssmaller, moresimple dishes,chef BrandonMiller puts his

creative flair into practiceturning out rich, more intri-cate offerings, like the amaz-ing duck confit with wintervegetable hash and organicpoached eggs, and an over-the-top version of Frenchtoast that involves custard-like bread, citrus syrup, cin-namon and fruit.

A lovely first course isthe fried white asparaguswith paper-thin Serrano ham

“We try not to skimp on any ingredients and roll it all byhand,” Cox said of the croissant dough. “And it takes a lot ofwork, but we feel it’s worthwhile.”

“The main goal is to keep everything fresh — somethingeveryone looks forward to,” Spudowski said.

The restaurant also serves a daily quiche, which wassmoked bacon and Bloomsdale spinach this week, as well assteel-cut oats and fresh fruit.

“We’re taking classicdishes and really doingthe best we can,” Coxsaid. “If we have salmonon the menu, we want tosource the salmon, curethe salmon and slice thesalmon. We don’t want to buy it from Sysco.”

Cox cures salmon filets for two days in Sicilian sea saltand a paste of brown sugar, guajillo and ancho chiles, freshgarlic, parsley, chives and whatever citrus rinds the kitchenneeds to use up, such as bergamot, Meyer lemon and man-darin.

“You don’t have a super cured texture; it’s more of a rawsalmon texture,” he said. “You should be able to eat it raw. Ifyou can’t, you shouldn’t be serving it.”

The granola — chunky, flavorful and full of treats likedried cherries and apricots, almonds, pistachio nuts and avariety of spices — also contains a bare hint of orange blos-som water and is served with a dollop of rich yogurt.

Since the new wood-firedoven is used to bake all ofthe sourdough, ciabatta,ficelle, baguettes and otherbreads for both restaurants,bread is a breakfast show-piece, too, served withhomemade preserves andCamembert or butterchurned in house. Butteredciabatta appears alongsidesmoked salmon and herbedmascarpone with capers andpickled onions, as well as ina terra cotta dish of wood-fired eggs, housemadebacon or sausage and tinyroasted potatoes with kalefrom the Hilton BialekHabitat at Carmel MiddleSchool. Loaves can also bepurchased whole and takenhome.

Bread making begins thenight prior, so the doughscan proof in the warmth ofthe kitchen, and bakers startshaping and baking ataround 4 a.m., according toSpudowski. The oven holdstwo dozen loaves, and all thebaking has to be completedby 7:30 a.m., since the roar-ing oven becomes too hot forbread not long after that.

■ Cruising CienegaThe Cienega Valley, which is particularly beautiful when

winter rains have left its craggy hillsides coated in green, isa perfect day trip from the Monterey Peninsula. A handful ofnotable wineries occupy this twisty stretch of road near theHollister Hills off-road park.

Any visit to the area demands a stop at DeRoseVineyards, run by winemakers Pat and Al DeRose, who cre-ate never-boring wines from fruit grown in their vineyards orpurchased from reliable growers.

The Cabernet Pfeffer, for instance, is a rarity, with just afew hundred acres growing in the world. Cab Pfeffer was a

From previous page hybrid of several different Cabernet clones cultivated byWilliam Pfeffer in 1897 to resist the deadly bug phylloxera,which devastated French vines. The 2008 vintage is peppery,slightly acidic and soft, making it tasty with pork, chickenand lean beef. The Negrette — another obscure varietal — isthe perfect Valentine’s wine, screaming for a chocolateaccompaniment.

The DeRoses also import wines from South America andare often pouring several of them alongside their DeRosewines. In addition, they regularly host events, such as theFeb. 12 “A Taste of Spain,” which will showcase Spanishwines, cheeses and paella, along with the wisdom of Spanishwine expert Mark Truman from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. ($20 at thedoor.

■ Love potion No. 9The folks in the Cima Collina tasting room at San Carlos

From previous page and Seventh claim to have cracked the formula for love, andit involves chocolate and wine, of course.

“Recently, scientists have discovered that after isolatingthe chemical formula for chocolate (C7H8N4O2) and mixingit with the common element of Cima Collina red wine(C2H6O), they were able to synthesize a compound that isusually associated with love!” they reported. “While we arenot sure about the validity of this new claim, we do know thatthe scientists discovered it after spending an hour in our tast-ing room. They certainly walked away happy. Experts agreethey had chemistry.”

As a result, they are inviting the public to discover the for-mula for love by tasting Cima Collina wines paired withBelgian chocolates from Fine H2O, located next door.

A wine purchase nets a 10 percent discount on Fine H2Ochocolates, and a purchase of chocolates earns customersfree wine tasting and 10 percent off of Cima Collina wines.Guests can also enter for a chance to win wine gift baskets.

“Warning: Side effects may cause butterflies in stomach,excessive laughing and canoodling,” they added.

Cima Collina and Fine H2O are located on the west sideof San Carlos between Ocean and Seventh avenues. The tast-

A SPORTING goods retailer that operates more than 450stores and a fast-food Mexican restaurant with more than1,000 locations will occupy two long-vacant storefronts inSand City, according to a planning official with the city.

Sports Authority is scheduled as early as this spring tomove into the spot at 905 Playa Ave., across from SaveMart,where Circuit City left about two years ago.

“They are tentatively scheduled for a May or June open-ing,” Sand City associate planner Charles Pooler said.

The company, which was founded more than a centuryago, received building permits from the city in early January.

Crews for several weeks have been renovating the build-ing that Circuit City vacated after the chain folded.

The space across the parking lot from Target is slated tobe a Chipotle Mexican Grill, formerly a subsidiary ofMcDonald’s, that operates in 38 states. Crews are renovatingthe building to accommodate the restaurant, which is alsoscheduled for a May or June opening, Pooler said.

“Part of their site renovation is to convert a segment ofthe [former] drive-thru lane into an outdoor patio,” explainedPooler. The building had been occupied by Boston Market.

In December, Chipotle fired hundreds of employees atdozens of restaurants in Minnesota in light of an audit byU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of Chipotle’semployee records that found many of them had used “suspectdocuments” to get jobs.

■ Acoustic ensemble aids libraryTo help raise money for the children’s collection at the

Pacific Grove Library, the acoustic ensemble, Heartstrings,performs a benefit concert Sunday, Feb. 13, at ChautauquaHall in Pacific Grove.

The event will not only help support a worthy cause, butit will also showcase an interesting venue with a rich history.

“This hall is a beautiful century-old barn-like structurethat looks a lot like as it did a hundred years ago,” explainedRick Chelew, who plays standup bass for Heartstrings. “Weare really excited to have this opportunity to play our musichere. I imagine many a barn dance was held here.”

In addition to Chelew, Heartstrings features Paulette

Lynch on hammered dulcimer and percussion; Pat Skinneron mandolin, mandola and accordion; and Marj IngramViales on guitar. The group’s emphasis on folk music fromthe 19th century is a perfect fit for the 100-year-old building.

Along with music from the British Isles and Appalachia,we will also play some songs that were danced to inCalifornia, possibly right here, in the 1800s,” Chelew added.“And, being the day before Valentine’s Day, we’ll includesome of our loveliest love songs.”

The music starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10. ChautauquaHall is located on the south side of Central Avenue between16th and 17th streets. Tickets are available at The Works (667Lighthouse Ave.) and Bookmark Music (162 16th St.).

“I’ve been playing mostly solo on Saturdays for the lastyea,” explained Whittington, a longtime Big Sur resident.“I’m looking forward to dusting off my trio charts and addinga few new arrangements.”

The music starts at 7 p.m., and there’s no cover. TheCypress Inn is located at Lincoln and Seventh. For moreinformation, call (831) 624-3871.

Monterey Bay’s visiting artists lecture series Thursday, Feb.17, when he presents a talk, “Growing Up Weston.”

Kim grew up assisting his father, Cole, in the darkroom.Together, they made prints from his grandfather’s negatives.Later, he worked as a photographic assistant to his uncle,

of journalism-related jobs, living in Florida, Tennessee andNew York.

His big break came in 1986, when Tesh was hired to host“Entertainment Tonight.” Over the next decade, he alsoworked as a sportscaster, covering the Tour de France (1983-86) and the gymnastics at the Summer Olympics (1992 and1996). But Tesh never forgot about his dream to play music.

“If you don’t follow your passions and your dreams, theywill track you down,” he explained.

While Tesh toured briefly with new age instrumentalistYanni in 1987, his musical coming-out party came in 1994,when he performed with the Colorado Symphony Orchestraat the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver.

In 2003, Tesh added radio host to his resume. “The JohnTesh Radio Show — Intelligence for Your Life” is syndicat-ed nationwide and reaches more than 14 million listenerseach week. The program offers a mix of easy listening musicand Tesh’s advice and commentary on a wide variety of sub-jects.

As a musician, meanwhile, Tesh has won six Emmys,been nominated for two Grammies and sold more than 8 mil-lion records.

His visit to the Monterey Peninsula this week will nodoubt bring back memories for Tesh. It’s been nearly 20 yearssince he brought his future wife, Connie Selleca, to Carmelso he could propose to her. At the time, Tesh was still work-ing for “Entertainment Tonight.”

Tesh is somewhat of an authority on the subject ofromance — his catalog features album titles like “Sax allNight,” “Grand Passion” and the “Ultimate Love SongCollection.” So perhaps because of his reputation, Tesh want-ed to make the proposal a particularly unforgettable occa-sion.

“I had reservations at Spadaro’s on Cannery Row,” heexplained. “I rented out the restaurant, for two hours. Wewalked into the empty restaurant and there was a string quar-tet playing a song I’d written for Connie.”

Instead of proposing at dinner, though, Tesh decided to

pop the big question during the evening’s grand finale. Soafter dinner, he walked Connie down to the shoreline, wherea barge was waiting silently in the darkness on the bay. At theprearranged moment when Tesh proposed to his sweetheart,a man on the barge blasted off a dazzling array of fireworksover the water.

their two children, 8-year-old Ethan and 6-year-old Eliza, live in the Quail Lodge areaof Carmel Valley, and the kids attendTularcitos Elementary School. They movedto the Monterey Peninsula fromPhiladelphia, Penn., in 2007, after Sandinwas recruited to become executive manager

of the Monterey Bay Blues Festival. Duringtwo seasons with the festival, she managed toland some of the biggest names in blues the23-year old show had ever hosted, includingB.B. King and Etta James.

obtain state tax dollars for the work, too.Several members of the public expressed

the need for safer walking and biking, espe-cially on Rio Road near Carmel Mission andJunipero Serra School, which is busy withkids and automobile traffic.

Planning commissioner Victoria Beachsaid lack of safe places to cycle “is a perva-sive problem throughout the city.”

“This is a matter of potentially staying ata hotel in downtown Carmel and not beingable to go to the Mission on a nice day with-out having to rent a car, drive a car, park acar,” she continued. “I’m a big fan of thisidea, and it seems like it’s a bargain. Andwe’re not paying it now, by the way. We’repaying it if we win.”

Carmel Chamber of Commerce CEOMonta Potter also favored the idea of goingfor the grant and said sustainability is mar-ketable.

But Mayor Sue McCloud worried theeffort would require too much time andresources. She advocated putting it off ayear.

“The $150,000 grant, with what’sinvolved, will be a very large drain on ourplanners to put this into being,” she said,adding that if it’s not delayed until next year,some other project should be removed fromthis year’s to-do list.

Willoughby told The Pine ConeWednesday she and her husband will gathersignatures for a petition drive opposing theclubhouse plan next Monday morning at theP.G. post office and that afternoon at the P.G.farmers’ market.

“We are also going to the streets withpetitions [to submit to] the state alcoholboard and city council against the latest cityproposal to have hard liquor at the club-house,” she said.

“To have staff drop everything to get thatdone between now and [the March 31 dead-line] really bothers me,” she said.

McCloud also said council membersneeded to know more before they coulddecide.

“Council is being asked to make a deci-sion without half the information theyshould see,” she said.

Talmage proposed approving the conceptand getting a few people, including the city’sgrant writer, Jan Roehl, to look into it. And“if it turns out to be too time consuming,shelve it,” he said.

The council voted 3-2, with McCloud andHazdovac dissenting, to research what it willtake to apply for the grant.

Afterward, McCloud proposed Burnett,city planning and building services managerSean Conroy, Roehl and she form an ad hoccommittee to review the grant application.

ANIMAL GROUP WANTS GOLF FANS

TO DONATE FOR GOOD CAUSEA PACIFIC Grove animal organization is

hoping to raise $10,000 through the Birdiesfor Charity Program, which allows pledgesto be made based on the number of birdiesmade by golf professionals in this weekend’s

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golftournament.

Animal Friends Rescue Project is raisingmoney for its Feline Family Fund, which pro-vides food and medical care for abandonedand homeless mother cats and kittens.

In golf terms, a birdie is a score of onestroke better than par for any hole on the golfcourse.

The average number of birdies made atthe tournament is 1,886; meaning if some-one pledges 1 cent per birdie, the total dona-tion would be $18.86, 2 cents per birdiewould be $37.72, and so on. Donors are alsowelcome to make a flat donation of anyamount.

All donations will be matched with anadditional 15 percent from the MontereyPeninsula Foundation, and all donors are eli-gible for prize drawings, which include aone-night stay at the Inn at Spanish Bay andgolf for two, a CALSTAR helicopter ride,Waterford crystal and golf memorabilia.

To donate, visit https://birdies.attpb-golf.com/charities/animalfriendsrescue orstop by the AFRP Adoption Center at 560Lighthouse Ave. in P.G. to pledge.

(including 200 square feet of parking.) Theycould also ask for some of the city’s tiny sup-ply of unallocated water credits earmarkedfor affordable housing.

Conroy asked commissioners to discusswhether a two-unit residence on the propertywould be acceptable, if they would considergiving some of the city’s water to the project,if they liked the design concept and if theymight grant a variance so the property own-ers would only have to include one parkingspace instead of the two required.

Commissioners wondered if a loomingwater moratorium would stymie the project,and therefore whether they should discuss it,but Conroy said the owners are aware of theissues might affect them. Commissionersthen asked Probasco and Mandurrago towork on their design so it would requirefewer credits from the city’s small water sur-plus.

They were divided regarding the design.While some complimented Mandurrago forthe Mediterranean-style look, others, likeDallas, wanted wood used on the buildinginstead of all stucco.

Commissioners also considered chargingthe owners $60,000 in in-lieu parking feesfor not putting two parking spaces on the lot,but Conroy pointed out variances aredesigned to help people deal with physicalconstraints of their land. Due to the lot’ssmall size and steep slope in spots, he said,the variance would be warranted.

Business faceliftIn order to draw more customers to their

tiny shop, which they said is frequentlymissed because of the larger gallery nextdoor and a tree growing right in front of thebusiness, Pilgrim’s Way bookstore ownerCynthia Fernandes and her husband decidedto give it a paint job. They spent last

Thanksgiving applying a tan-orange basecoat and intended to top it with a lighter toneto give it a textured look but were stopped bythe planning department a few weeks later,before they could apply the topcoat, becausethey did not ask permission first.

According to commercial design guide-lines, paint on storefronts should be uni-formly applied, without texturing, mottlingor faux finish, and the colors should be“muted,” and “blend with the natural sur-roundings.” Bright and primary colors are tobe avoided.

Since the bookstore shares a buildingwith the neighboring art gallery, Wiener saidthe guidelines call for only subtle color vari-ations between the two businesses. He rec-ommended the commission deny the paintcolor and require Fernandes to restore thebuilding to its original hue.

At the Feb. 9 meeting, Fernandes askedcommissioners for help in improving thelook of the store, which has been operatingsince 1969. “We wanted to clean up theplace,” she said. “The paint’s peeling off thewalls and chipping off the trim.”

Furthermore, the art gallery’s awningblocks the hanging Pilgrim’s Way store signfrom the view of drivers passing by, and atree is growing in front, “so without havingany kind of distinguishing mark, our regularcustomers, believe it or not, sometimes missthe store.”

She asked the commission to approve thelighter color she had planned to use over thedarker tone.

“We had no idea that this was going to bean embarrassment or problem of any kind,”she said. “Our hope was to clean up our actand do a better job of marketing our busi-ness.”

Commissioners were sympathetic, andBeach made several suggestions for othermeans by which Fernandes could attract cus-tomers, including replacing the hanging signwith a more visible wall sign and incorporat-ing other sorts of decorative or architectural

features. She said the guidelines don’t allowdifferent paint colors on the same building.

The commission voted 4-1, with Beach

dissenting, to let Fernandes paint the build-ing and work with the planning staff toensure it is acceptable.

Editorial

Money for nothing

IS THERE one state government for the Monterey Peninsula and a different

one for everybody else?

We ask the question because, according to a deluge of coverage from

California’s biggest newspapers and TV stations, the budget crisis in Sacramento

is going to cause mass suffering among the needy, deprive children of a decent

education, cost thousands of people their jobs, ruin the chances for rundown

neighborhoods to be redeveloped, and kill some of the chronically ill who

depend on the state for free medical care.

Truly, to hear the San Francisco Chronicle or KCBS all-news radio tell it, the

cutbacks proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown to reduce the deficit will spell disaster

for millions of his constituents by curtailing or eliminating benefits and pro-

grams they desperately need.

But here in paradise, the state miraculously has plenty of money to spend on

things you might not exactly consider urgent.

Recently, for example, we reported that the City of Pacific Grove had been

granted $220,000 by the California Department of Parks and Recreation to

improve wheelchair access at Lovers Point. And today we note that the City of

Carmel is thinking of applying for a $150,000 grant that’s available from

Caltrans to develop a plan — not to do any actual work, mind you — for mak-

ing Carmel more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.

Now, we’re sure things could be a bit more convenient for wheelchair users at

Lovers Point. But one also has to admit that, on the whole, it is already a won-

derful place for anyone in a wheelchair to visit — with lots of gently rolling,

wide paths leading to fantastic views of the ocean. Indeed, the entire stretch of

coast from Lovers Point to the Monterey Bay Aquarium has to be considered an

ideal place for people who can’t walk to enjoy the shoreline. And even if there

are deficiencies, improving handicapped access to this part of California’s coast

can’t exactly be considered an emergency that requires the attention of state offi-

cials and an allocation of its taxpayers’ money.

Likewise, while Carmel obviously could be somewhat more friendly to

pedestrians and people on bicycles, it is already a wonderful place for them to

be. Sure, some of the streets are narrow, and trees seem to always be getting in

the way. But aren’t these very attributes among the things that draw visitors and

make life enjoyable for residents in the first place? And, to cite the obvious once

again, even if there are ways the city could be made more accessible to walkers

and bicyclists, is finding them a state emergency? Hardly.

Meanwhile, Brown proposes to limit Medi-Cal clients to six free prescrip-

tions a month and 10 free doctor visit a year — Draconian cutbacks (according

to the Chronicle) that will cost many people their lives. And he wants to elimi-

nate the state redevelopment agency, a measure that will spell doom for cities

such as Oakland and Bakersfield. Etc., etc.

We can’t really blame public officials in Pacific Grove and Carmel for want-

ing to get the money from the state, since it’s available. But isn’t there anybody

at the giving end who has the sense to ask, “Why are we doing this?”

The cost of parking metersDear Editor,

I am living in Carmel for a few monthswhile consulting with a local nonprofit. Ifeel like this is the place I am meant to be. Iwill be heartbroken when my contract is upand I have to leave. I mention this because Iwant my comments about parking meters tobe framed within the context of how much Ilove this place.

I have a background in business seniormanagement and also city government expe-rience. I know that budgets are increasinglyconstrained, but I think the offsets for newrevenue sources are not always fully thoughtthrough in the decision-making process. Forparking meters, those offsets involve morethan the purchase, installation and mainte-nance of the meters and the cost of process-ing the monies collected. As others have

said, it is also important to bracket the riskassociated with the impact of lower revenuesfor village merchants. However, I think themost significant concern related to parkingmeters should be the negative impact on theCarmel “brand.”

As someone with quite a bit of brandingand marketing experience, I can assure youthat the Carmel brand/culture has an enor-mous influence on real estate values as wellas on the number and nature of visitors andhow much they spend. The Carmel brandimage is a major reason the median price forhouses here is so much higher than any otherpart of the area except Pebble Beach. Willthe revenue from parking meters be worth adrop in those housing values?

The water ‘octopus’Dear Editor,

As a long suffering Cal Am ratepayer, Iwas disappointed to read Friday’s article byKelly Nix which totally missed the point.

For years our water rates have skyrocket-ed and our service has deteriorated. We arepaying multiples of the water rates in neigh-boring districts. This disparity will acceler-ate, assuming the pending rate increase of 37percent is approved before costs associatedwith dam removal and desalinization plantconstruction which will be routinely passedon to the ratepayers, rather than borne by CalAm’s shareholders, compounding their rateof return. It’s very easy to spend other peo-ple’s money!

regardless of their performance or despite their incompe-tence. Because it is a monopoly, we can not fire them or seekan alternate supplier of water. Fortunately, the law providesa remedy; replacement with a new public utility. The articlequestions a valuation based on Book Value. Obviously, bookvalue is only the starting point; the valuation of assets andliabilities may be over- or understated; that will be a deter-mined in the take over process.

The issue is: Are we to pay ever-increasing water ratesfeeding a ravenous octopus or replace it with a locally con-trolled public utility where operations and governance willbe the responsibility of the local electorate?

Unprofessional mediaDear Editor,

Are you routinely shocked by the lack of professionallocal media coverage? Me too.

Media delights in placating us by printing governmentpress releases, and omits substantive reporting which wepublic expect. For instance, when was the last time localmedia printed supervisor’s voting records? No matter whatpoliticians say, isn’t their vote what really counts?

Everyone has an opinion, including The Pine Cone.However, if anyone had a “Shameful Commentary,” it was

LETTERSFrom previous page

The Pine Cone in their recent “attack’’ on Julie Engell (edi-torial, Feb. 4). Did The Pine Cone verify that Engell’sLAFCO comments were accurately quoted from the publicrecord? In fact, they were. Calcagno’s record speaks for itself… and, when his shoe fits … perhaps it is: “nasty”! Thiswas the first of several Pine Cone commentary inaccuracieswhich a 350-word limit will not allow me to debate.

While “no-growthers” (like everyone) do have a democ-ratic right to their opinion, how did the Pine Cone concludethat Engell was one? Did the Pine Cone interview her as anyreputable media should? When I’ve asked that same questionof Engell previously, her response was: “I consider myself tobe a ‘responsible-growther’” who anticipates that criticalwater and traffic issues will be addressed by local decision-makers before approving new growth.”

How many years have we in District 2 (under Calcagno’sadministration) waited for our representation from the “goodole’ boys”? Can The Pine Cone please list what wonderfulthings this board has accomplished other than approvingmega-development for agricultural acre after acre of “TheSalad Bowl of the World”?

So far, I’ve participated in debate over five general plandrafts which WE paid million$ for. The Prunedale By-Pass,promised since 1956 is ignored. Hwy 101 “Prunedale’sBlood Alley” continues to sacrifice lives; TAMC raves overthe Prunedale Improvement Project, their pitiful “band-aid”solution. Our public services shrink via busted budget, and aproposed Regional Water solution fails to include us in theregion. Fourteen DRY Granite Ridge families have sufferedfor over 5 years!

District 2 voters have inquiring minds; thanks to JulieEngell, we now have more facts.

Jan Mitchell, Prunedale

Editor’s note: Mitchell’s husband, Ed, ran for supervisoragainst Calcagno last year and was defeated 55 percent to 45percent.

BEACHFrom page 1A

kelp, which got entangled in the tines and had to be removed.In addition, the used rake had maintenance and repair issues,and operators “had to be constantly aware of off-leash dogsapproaching the machine.” Furthermore, the exposedbedrock, the tractor’s turning radius and the rock fire ringsmeant manual cleaning was still required.

While some members of the public liked the clean,groomed look of the beach after it had been raked, othersfound that “resort-like” appearance objectionable. Others

disliked the noise and worried about dogs getting too close. In addition, the mechanized rake was ineffective in clean-

ing charcoal out of fire pits on slopes and close to the bluffs,even though it did a good job of picking up litter and seaweedon the beach. The commission also received comments thatcleaning up kelp and other natural debris “is unnecessary anda waste of the fuel and time,” according to Branson’s report.

Commissioners weighed the costs vs. the value of usingthe tractor-pulled rake and concluded the city should ditchthe rake and use the money to pay more workers. (While trialuse of the rake was free, the experiment cost $14,497.60 intractor rental and driver training, according to city clerkHeidi Burch.)

“They thought the city’s efforts should be specifically

refocused back on fire cleanup,” Branson told the councillast Tuesday.

Resident Barbara Livingston said the council should fol-low their recommendation and pay more people to clean thebeach. She also suggested seeing if high-school and collegestudents might be able to do the work.

“The beach rake was an interesting idea, but for the rea-sons Mike told you, it just isn’t working,” she said. “I hopeyou’ll consider investing more heavily in manual labor.”

Councilwoman Karen Sharp pointed out the rake did agood job of picking up small debris, like cigarette butts, andsaid the city will have to figure out how to accomplish that ifthe machine is no longer used.

Councilman Jason Burnett, who encouraged the city tosecure the rake for the trial, conceded its failure.

“The feedback from both Mike and the forest and beachcommission is this hasn’t worked the way we had hoped,” hesaid. “I certainly give a lot of weight to the recommendationof the forest and beach commission and to Mike’s recom-mendations.”

baby at SVMH — one of Monterey County’sbest private hospitals — on Sept. 2, 2010.

The next day after delivering the stillborn,the couple, who are Muslim, took what they

MIXUPFrom page 1A

thought was their fetus to their mosque forreligious rights, prayers and a washing of thebody.

“Hana and Ahmed are Muslim, and reli-gious beliefs require the ceremonial washingof bodies prior to burial,” the suit explains,“and also require that the deceased be buriedas soon as possible after death.”

On Sept. 3, 2010, the couple laid the

baby’s body to rest at Five Pillars FarmCemetery in Alameda County, according tothe lawsuit.

But on Oct. 8, 2010, five weeks after theburial, an SVMH administrator contactedAhmed Musa, a Salinas warehouse worker,telling him it was possible they had givenhim and his wife the wrong body.

The caller told Musa a hospital employeefound a stillborn baby in the morgue with hiswife’s name attached to it. He also requestedthe Musas come to the hospital so genetictesting could be done to confirm the bodywas theirs.

In a matter of moments, the healing thecouple had sought over the prior severalweeks unraveled, according to the suit.

“Instead of moving on with their lives fol-lowing the sadness of losing their first child,”the lawsuit says, “the Musas faced the grimprospects of dealing with the mishandling oftheir baby’s remains by the hospital.”

When the couple arrived at SVMH forgenetic testing the same day, they were“shuffled into a conference room filled withofficials from SVMH,” the lawsuit alleges.

“Instead of a lab test, SVMH told themthat there had been two stillbirths the sameday and that the hospital was pretty sure thatthe bodies of the two babies had been mixedup,” the suit says.

Several days later, the hospital performedthe tests, and the Musas “hoped that the testswould show that there had been no mixup.”

However, when the results came in 10days later on Oct. 22, 2010, they confirmedthe couple’s worst fears — the little girl theyhad buried was not theirs.

“The baby at the hospital, which had beensitting in the morgue for six weeks, did infact belong to Ahmed and Hana,” accordingto the suit.

The Musas knew they would have tomake new funeral arrangements.

“The pain and suffering that was inflictedby the hospital’s negligence is hard to imag-ine,” Murphy said. “They had to go throughthe anguish of burying their baby twice.”

But according to the lawsuit, there wasworse to come. The hospital had not placedBaby Musa’s body in a “protective solution”such as an embalming agent to preserve itwhen it was in the morgue.

“The condition of the body of Baby Musawas beyond horrifying,” the suit says. “Itcontained mold and had undergone decom-position.”

The hospital wrapped the baby girl’s bodyin a blanket and gave it to Ahmed Musa sothe couple could bury the fetus.

“The second burial was made even morepainful by the condition of Baby Musa’sbody,” their lawsuit says.

According to the complaint, it’s not clearwhen SVMH mixed up the bodies. Thoughhis wife was too distraught to look at thefetus after she delivered it, Ahmed Musaviewed the body in a separate room just afterthat. Except for the word of the hospital’sstaff, he would have had no way to be surethe baby was his.

The identity of the mother who deliveredthe stillborn baby the Musas inadvertentlyburied in place of their own is also not clear.

“We understand that the body has beenexhumed but have not confirmed thatthrough discovery,” according to Murphy.“We do not know if the hospital informed theother mother.”

The hospital was negligent because it didnot keep track of the couple’s baby, failed toproperly handle the remains and didn’t dis-cover the fetus had been switched with theremains of another baby for more than amonth, according to the lawsuit.

“The fact the wrong body was givenspeaks for itself in demonstrating negli-gence,” the complaint alleges.

SVMH spokeswoman Adrienne Laurenttold The Pine Cone she couldn’t comment onpending litigation.

The lawsuit also claims the hospital vio-lated the California Health and Safety Codeby “holding a body pending disposition formore than eight calendar days after a deathwithout a permit.”

MUCKYFrom page 1A

Mucky Duck at 479 Alvarado St. On NewYear’s Eve, a gunman shot three people out-side the club. The man officers say fired theshots later turned himself in to police.

In 2003, the Waddells formed MuckyDuck LLC to operate the pub. Until 2006 —when John Waddell moved to Placerville —they jointly managed the day-to-day opera-tions of the Mucky Duck. However, shortlyafter moving, John Waddell alleges his son— “without permission” — moved into theapartment above the pub.

“In nearly four years of living there,” thesuit alleges, “Waddell has never paid rent,utilities or cable TV; instead, [those expens-es] have been incorporated into the pub’soverhead.”

Messages left for Eric Waddell at theMucky Duck were not returned.

Since 2009, John Waddell alleges his sonhas used the business checking account tofinance some of his personal living expens-es, and more than $61,000 has not beenproperly accounted for.

He also alleges Eric improperly used TheMucky Duck LLC’s funds, spending:

■ $10,000 or more to fund “personalvacations to Las Vegas, San Francisco andBig Bear;”

■ more than $2,500 to pay his personal

defense attorney for “litigation filed by hisin-laws;”

■ more than $5,000 to his father-in-law; ■ more than $1,000 in car payments to

his estranged wife.John Waddell also accuses his son of per-

sistently mismanaging the Mucky Duck’schecking account by writing checks andmaking cash withdrawals when there wasn’tenough money in the Comerica Bankaccount.

“In 24 months of mismanagementbetween January 2009 and December 2010,”according to the suit. “Eric has overdrawnthe account on 1,500 different occasions for... assessed overdraft fees of $55,442.”

In January, the pub took in $17,056 incash through its registers, and an additional$5,300 in cover charges came in on NewYear’s Eve, the lawsuit indicates.

“Of that amount,” John Waddell alleges,“Eric deposited only $255” into the businesschecking account in January.

John Waddell also accuses his son of notpaying taxes to the State Board ofEqualization in January, and in the samemonth, loaning the business’ debit card to anemployee who was on vacation in Hawaii.

The Waddells in 2003 each invested$125,000 in the pub and agreed to have equalinterest in the business, the lawsuit indicates.They decided to each draw a $5,000-per-month salary and would be entitled to onevehicle for which the LLC would make pay-ments.

CONCOURSFrom page 1A

day, and everyone’s going to have a lot of fun,” DougFreedman said from his Atlanta, Ga., office this week.

Last year, due to lack of funds, the Freedmans announcedthey were canceling the 2010 event. But after they collabo-rated with a few devoted car collectors and had a chance tobe featured on Wayne Carini’s “Chasing Classic Cars,”Discovery TV program, they decided to hold a micro-COTAwith about 40 vehicles.

“It broke our hearts last year to do what we did, to call ita day,” he said. “And then to regroup and do a LimitedEdition for 2010 — we learned there are so many fantasticindividuals who wanted to come out and help us with theevent, and bring their vehicles.”

While last year’s mini-show drew crowds of spectators,the Freedmans are looking forward to taking over OceanAvenue on the grand scale they have in the past, closingdown the town’s central avenue and several side streets for ajudged competition on the Tuesday of Concours Week. As inprevious years, the winners will cross a stage at San Carlosand Ocean presided over by emcees Michael Lynch and EdJustice. Featured classes include American, Italian andBritish sports cars, luxury cars and family favorites, as wellas hot rods, muscle and micro cars, historic racecars andmotorcycles, and several classes of Porsches and Ferraris.

They still need cash to pull off the show but are intent onbringing it back to the streets of Carmel. “We’re excited.We’re going to be there,” Freedman said. “We are workinghard, and we’re doing all the things we’ve done before.”

He issued the call for entries in mid-January and has sofar received about 25 but hopes to eventually get two appli-cations for every spot available.

“The majority of the applications that have come in todate are entrants that made application last year and/or whowere with us in previous years,” he observed. “Our coregroup has stuck with us. They are supporting Carmel, andthey want the event to continue. We’re feeling really goodabout that, as well.”

Each entry costs $250, and entrants are encouraged towrite bigger checks so The Carmel Foundation — the non-profit that offers low-cost food, affordable housing, classesand other services to seniors — will receive the balance.Freedman said money is already coming in for the founda-tion, including $750 from one of the first few entrants.

He encouraged anyone who is interested in participating,whether as a volunteer, an entrant, a judge or a sponsor, tocontact him. “Our biggest need is sponsorship,” he said.“Give us a chance to talk to you about our event — Carmel’sevent. No matter what, we still need that support.”

The amount of sponsorships will dictate whether theshow has any of the frills of the past, such as the detailed carcards chronicling the history and ownership information ofeach entry.

Freedman touted the draw of the town, not just for par-ticipants and car fans, but for their families who mightrather shop, eat and browse than look at beautiful and inter-esting automobiles. “Carmel is just a fantastic backdrop anda fantastic venue, not just for the enthusiast, but for the restof the family,” he said.

Officers’ investigation led them to Pacific Grove, where,with the help of colleagues from PGPD, they took Torres intocustody.
