A system to treat sewage with chlorine before it is dischargedinto Carmel Bay failed Sunday afternoon, allowing 300,000gallons of bacteria-laden water to escape.

From Big Sur to Marina, snowdecorated the hillsides andeven some low lying parts ofthe Monterey PeninsulaSaturday. At Chamisal TennisClub, Tamsen Forrest’s mid-afternon USTA match wascanceled because of heavysnow “getting into every-body’s eyes,” while at theRunning Iron in Carmel ValleyVillage, manager TawnyScardina said “everybody ranoutside” to look at the heavysnow coming down about 5p.m. At higher elevations,there were substantial accumu-lations, but even in someneighborhoods no more than1,500 feet above sea level,such as Hidden Hills (right),front yards were turned intowinter wonderlands.

300K gallons of partially treated sewage flow to bayBy KELLY NIX

A SPILL of about 300,000 gallons of partially treatedwastewater into Carmel Bay Sunday night likely will have nosignificant adverse effects on the marine environment,according to the general manager of the Carmel AreaWastewater District.

The water had gone through the first two stages of treat-ment — sedimentation to remove solids, and then aerobicdigestion to break down organic matter — but hadn’treceived a final chlorine disinfection treatment before itflowed into the bay Sunday about 5 p.m. A series of systemmalfunctions is being blamed on the accident.

Water samples taken Monday at the Carmel RiverLagoon, the north shore of the Carmel River mouth and atMonastery Beach indicated very low levels of coliform bac-teria.

“We think it had very little effect, negative or otherwiseon the marine environment,” CAWD general managerBarbara Buikema told The Pine Cone.

The cause of the spill seems to have been caused whenCAWD’s primary chlorination injection system becamedetached from its mounting.

“It appears that the system, which is bolted to concretewalls, pulled out of those fittings, causing it to wobble,” saidBuikema, who took over as GM in July 2010 after Ray vonDohren retired.

The movement contributed to what Buikema believescaused the unit’s seals to fail, which caused coolant to leak

Council meetingsdrawing crowds ofsmart meter protesters■ Out-of-town activists cite conspiracies, make dire predictions

By KELLY NIX and MARY BROWNFIELD

YOU’VE SEEN them on TV and read in the newspapersabout their statewide campaign to ban smart meters. Andnow, local city council meet-ings are being crowded withvehement anti-smart-meteractivists — almost none ofwhom seem to live in thearea.

At Tuesday night’s CarmelCity Council meeting, onewoman complained of wide-spread billing problems fol-lowing meter installations inBakersfield and Fresno,where residents saw theirenergy costs double andtriple. She also said the newtechnology presents “substantial health issues,” due to “verystrong, very brief pulses of microwave radio frequencies”emitted as often as “every few seconds.” She said residentsexperienced dizziness, flu-like symptoms, irregular heartrhythms, ringing in the ears and cognitive problems likememory loss following the installation of smart meters.

Furthermore, because the meters use Wi-Fi or cell phonenetworks to transmit data to the utility companies, they arevulnerable to hackers, she claimed, and she asked the citycouncil to consider an ordinance to stop their installation.

After she spoke, a crowd at the back of the chambersbroke into applause, eliciting a reprimand from the mayor.

Another opponent, who visibly trembled as she spoke,held handmade posters, including one that read, “SmartMeters = Ubiquitous Microwave Radiation,” to show the

Council OK withchickens — as long asthey aren’t a nuisance

By MARY BROWNFIELD

WITH MAYOR Sue McCloud voting “no” becauseshe didn’t like the idea of chicken coops being allowedin front yards, the city council voted 4-1 this week to letCarmel residents keep two hens — front yard or back.

The law, which is set to expire June 30, 2013, wouldrequire a permit to keep hens and would only allow 15to be issued during that period.

After resident Anna Yateman asked the city to allowher to keep hens for their eggs, fertilizer and pest con-trol, the council asked the planning commission lastOctober to weigh in on an ordinance and forward it tothe council for adoption.

According to the law proposed by the commission inJanuary, a maximum of two chicken hens would be per-mitted per building site in the residential district.Roosters would not be allowed, since they are noisy, andthe hens would have to be kept in a 20-square-footenclosure no taller than 5 feet. They could only be out-side the coop when supervised, and the owners couldnot sell them or their eggs.

Furthermore, the planning department would have toapprove the location and design of the enclosure, and

MAN SUES DOC FOR OPERATING ON WRONG KNEEBy KELLY NIX

MOST PEOPLE have heard horror stories of “wrong-sided” surgery — when a surgeon mistakenly removes thewrong kidney or even amputates the wrong limb.

A Monterey Peninsula man knows the feeling too well. Robert Pegis Sr. filed a lawsuit in Monterey County

Superior Court Feb. 23 alleging a surgeon at a Monterey clin-ic in 2009 accidentally operated on the wrong knee.

“When [Pegis] recovered consciousness from the anesthe-sia,” according to the suit, “he was shocked to discover thathis left knee, not his right knee, had been operated on ....”

Pegis is suing the Monterey Peninsula Surgery Center andphysicians Jeffrey Carter and James Field. He is seeking anunspecified amount in damages exceeding $25,000.

The lawsuit contends that on Dec. 18, 2009, Pegis wasadmitted to the Cass Street surgery clinic for a procedure tohis right knee known as an arthroscopic partial medial menis-cectomy with debridement.

Before the operation, Pegis signed a “disclosure and con-sent” form indicating doctors would perform surgery to hisright knee, the suit says.

Medical staff at the surgery center who tended to Pegis“confirmed with [him] prior to the surgery that the arthro-scopic procedure was to be performed on [his] right knee,”according to the lawsuit.

But somewhere along the way, something went wrong.Pegis alleges Carter cut into into the wrong knee for the oper-ation.

GETTING THE PROPER BACKINGThose purchasing car-

peting are likely to pay farmore attention to the color,material, and constructionof the soft side than thebacking. However, carpetbacking is worthy of note inthat it plays a very importantrole in determining theshape and structural stabili-ty of the carpet, backingusually is composed of twolayers. The first, the primarybacking of coarse materialthrough which carpet fibersare woven or tufted, formsthe structural element of thecarpet. The secondarybacking helps insulate thecarpet from moisture, bac-teria, and mold. The heavi-ness of the secondary back-ing’s weave can be used togauge its durability andintegrity.

TOOTHPASTE,DID YOU KNOW?The first toothpaste was

made in China and India in300/500 BC. They used abra-sives such as bone, eggs andoyster shells. Later toothpowders were made withpowdered charcoal, pow-dered bark and flavoringagents. In Britain in the lateeighteenth century the mod-ern toothpowder or dentifricewas made available. The soapin this formula was replacedafter World War II withSodium Lauryl Sulphate anemulsifying agent. Ourmouth contains over 500types of microorganisms.Some of these create stickyplaque from the foodresidues in your mouth. Thebacteria feed on leftover foodto create acid and volatilesulfur molecules. The acideats into tooth enamel to pro-duce cavities while volatilesulfur molecules give breathits foul odor. Toothpasteworks with the toothbrush toremove the sticky plaque andpolish the surface of thetooth. Fluoride in variousforms helps to prevent toothdecay by making the toothless affected by the acid inplaque. Other ingredients caninclude anti-bacterial agents,remineralizers, whiteningingredients and anti-sensitiveagents. Pick toothpaste thatis not too abrasive, as thatwill remove tooth enamel.Talk to your dentist orhygienist as to what will bethe best paste to meet yourneeds.

In Your DDrreeaammss

By MARY BROWNFIELD

WITH AN aging population, theMonterey Peninsula needs topnotch heartcare close by, and Community Hospital’sTyler Heart Institute is designed with thatgoal in mind.

Recognizing its importance, Carmel resi-dent David Liskin and marketing consultantDan Parker teamed up to organize the heartinstitute’s first benefit concert. Singer-song-writer Al Stewart (“Year of the Cat,” “TimePassages”) and his former keyboard and gui-tar player, Peter White, along with other for-mer bandmates, will reunite for a May 7 per-formance at Sunset Center.

“We’re excited about this concert,because it’s really going to raise some goodmoney for the hospital, especially the TylerHeart Institute, and the hospital has neverreally done anything like this before,” Liskinsaid. “We’re hoping it will become an annu-al event.”

While raising dollars for Tyler Heart,which was founded on Valentine’s Day in2007 following a “significant donation”from William and Susanne Tyler, the concertwill also raise awareness of its existence andmission, according to Liskin. As part ofCHOMP, the Tyler Heart Institute seeks toseamlessly address diagnosis, interventionand rehabilitation of heart disease, but its

primary goal is to help prevent it.“I thought the hospital would be a great

beneficiary, because they are such a greatasset to the community,” Liskin continued.

Dr. Richard Gray, the cardiologist whoserves as the institute’s director, said itencompasses multiple aspects of care: elec-trophysiology, catheterization, surgery andrecovery, as well as a women’s heart pro-gram, community outreach and other ele-ments.

“All of that comes under the umbrella ofthe Tyler Heart Institute, and what differenti-ates it from a program at a hospital is our aimin a special organizational unit to providecardiac care, from symptoms, to testing, todiagnosis to treatment,” he said. “I mightdescribe it as basically going the extra mileto give patients the feeling that they arereceiving personal attention.”

The center’s nurses and physicians wantto ensure their clients “don’t feel like it’s justa doctor providing a procedure and movingon to the next patient,” he said.

“I think it’s such an important part of thecommunity,” said Liskin, whose family foun-dation has quietly supported nonprofitendeavors in the medical field over the years.“I wanted to get the word out about TylerHeart.”

The idea of generating money and aware-ness for the institute stemmed from a meet-ing Liskin had with CHOMP President/CEODr. Steven Packer and the chairman of itsboard of trustees, Frank Amato. He toldthem he wanted to hold a fundraiser for thehospital, and together they decided TylerHeart would be a particularly worthy benefi-ciary.

The idea resonated with Liskin, whocredited the experts at the institute with sav-ing the life of a close family member, thoughhe declined to go into details.

He also decided to take on all of the riskof hosting a benefit concert.

“I guaranteed them a donation, even if welost all our money, even if no one showedup,” he said.

Gray said the institute is worthy of acco-lades and support, as indicated by its verylow mortality rate in cardiac surgery and“extremely fast treatment” of heart attacks.

“We have enviable results in both thoseareas, and that’s the result of everyone at theTyler Heart Institute working together,” hesaid.

In addition to creating an event for a wor-thy cause, Liskin and Parker are excited to be

MONTEREY COUNTY Sheriff ’sdeputies arrested a 20-year-old CarmelValley woman for attemptedmurder Friday morning aftershe admitted cutting a friendon the neck with an 8-inchkitchen knife, according toCmdr. Tracy Brown.

The victim, 22-year-oldSalinas resident MichaelSchmidt, called to report theattack but “wouldn’t say howhe got injured,” Brown said.Deputies found him standingoutside an apartment onWoodside Place shortlybefore 11 a.m. Feb. 25.

He had sustained a knifewound to the neck that ulti-mately required seven stitch-es from a physician atCommunity Hospital of theMonterey Peninsula.

“He had come over to the apartment thenight before,” Brown said. Deputies repeat-edly asked the suspect, Ashley Passey, andSchmidt if they were romantically involved,but neither would say. “Clearly they are goodfriends and have known each other for a longtime,” he said.

Schmidt was reluctant even to identifyPassey as his attacker, according to Brown.

“It took quite a bit of time to get that outof him, but he did eventually say she was the

one that cut him,” he said. They also would not tell

deputies how the stabbingoccurred.

“He was in the bath-room of the apartment, andshe came over and cut himwith the knife,” he said.“They had been arguing,but they wouldn’t say why.”

Passey, who was not atthe apartment whendeputies arrived butreturned while they werestill there, also admitted tocutting Schmidt, accordingto Brown. While deputiesdetermined Schmidt hadbeen drinking, Passey wasreportedly sober.

Deputies took Passey toMonterey County Jail on a felony charge ofattempted murder. She appeared for arraign-ment in Monterey County Superior CourtFeb. 28, and a preliminary examination todetermine whether sufficient evidence existsfor her to stand trial on the charge has beenscheduled for March 10.

Pricey Junipero repaving project gets council go-aheadBy MARY BROWNFIELD

THE $363,662 contract to fix Junipero Street betweenOcean and Eighth avenues is going to Monterey PeninsulaEngineering, the Carmel City Council decided Tuesday.

The two-block stretch of roadway bears a lot of the city’sbus and auto traffic and has become “seriously worn,”according to public works superintendent Stu Ross.

City engineer Sherman Low told the council the blockbetween Ocean and Seventh “will be completely torn up andreconstructed, and the section between Seventh and Eighthwould be overlaid.” In addition, some of the planters will bechanged “to make that left turn from Seventh onto Juniperoheading north a lot easier.”

At $317,400, MPE’s bid was the lowest of seven submit-ted for work slated to include replacing plumbing in thestorm drain, excavating and repaving the street, installing acobblestone curb, repainting the street, and adjusting thesewer and telephone manholes, water and gas valve boxes,the cleanout and the utility box. The Don Chapin Co. sub-mitted a bid of $319,000, Granite Rock Pavex ConstructionDivision bid $331,830, Granite Construction bid $358,420,Garcia Engineering bid $368,717.50, and Robert F. Enz

Construction bid $455,670. The city engineer estimated thecosts at $374,220.

At the March 1 meeting, the council approved a contractwith MPE that also includes a 10 percent contingency forunplanned expenses, $9,522 for engineering and inspection,and $5,000 for soil compacting testing, for a total of$363,662.

A taxpayer-funded grant from the Transportation Agencyfor Monterey County will pay for the work, and then some.According to Ross’ report, TAMC awarded $462,760 to thecity, and the capital improvement plan for 2010/2011 allocat-ed all the money to the project.

City councilman Ken Talmage wondered if the nearly$100,000 difference between the grant amount and the con-tract costs of repaving Junipero could be used for something

else. “Can we spend this money on other projects, or is it useit or lose it?” he asked.

Assistant city administrator Heidi Burch said the moneyhad to be spent on road work in town, though not specifical-ly repaving Junipero Street.

“There are some possibilities for us to use the remaininggrant money,” she said.

Dewey Evans, the city treasurer, recommended the coun-cil not allocate the balance to other work until it’s sure theJunipero reconstruction is covered. “It’s a little premature,yet, to be spending the money for other projects,” he said.

The council unanimously approved the contract with MPEas part of its consent calendar March 1.

After the meeting, Ross said he would be meeting withMPE and Low to determine when the work will begin.

the hen law.“As I understand it, the hens would not be allowed out of

their coop unless under parental supervision,” she said.“According to people who raise hens, chickens need toscratch.” She said they shouldhave a run so they can scratchin the yard “for good chickenhealth.”

But resident Carla Ramseyargued for maintaining theban against barnyard fowl,citing the story of a neighborwho had a chicken coop thatattracted raccoons, whicheventually “destroyed hiscoop, destroyed his chickens,and they soon began destroy-ing the neighbor’s house.”

She worried allowing hens would cause the raccoon pop-ulation in town to grow again.

“I don’t know why we would have chickens on a 4,000-square-foot lot,” she said. “It just doesn’t seem to make senseto me ... I think there could be a lot of repercussions.”

After also adding Sharp’s suggestion that the law stipulateno slaughtering can be done within the city limits, the coun-cil voted 4-1 to adopt the chicken ordinance. If it receivesfinal approval next month, the law will take effect in earlyMay.

neighbors within 100 feet would be notified of the pendinghen application. A public hearing with the planning commis-sion would be held if someone objected.

The ordinance also stipulates, “animal excretion shall notbe permitted to accumulate so as to become offensive to anyneighboring property,” and the outdoor slaughter of chickenswould be forbidden.

Finally, failure to comply with the law could result inrevocation of the chicken permit.

Councilwoman Karen Sharp sought assurance the coops

would not be visually prominent and also wanted the law tostipulate that killing chickens indoors, as well as outdoors,would not be allowed.

Non-chicken-owning homeowners’ interests should alsobe considered, according to councilman Ken Talmage, whoworried a property owner wouldn’t be able to prevent hisview from being ruined by a neighbor’s constructing a hen-house three feet from his kitchen window.

“I think we need to protect the neighbors, here,” he said.Councilwoman Paula Hazdovac pointed out that with only

15 permits to be issued among the city’s 2,800 residential lotsduring the next two years, the location of coops should behandled on a case-by-case basis.

“I think they should be in rear yards only,” McCloud com-mented. “I can’t imagine them being in the front yard. I thinkyou would have a real squawk when there’s a coop of that sizein the front yard.”

Conroy said the design review process would addressissues of location and view impacts, but council memberswanted more strict provisions, ultimately deciding to includea requirements that, “chicken enclosures shall not be visual-ly prominent from the street,” and “the keeping of chickenhens shall not result in a public or private nuisance.”

Yateman, the impetus for the ordinance, defended hensand asked the council to let them range more freely and havelarger runs, so they can feed, exercise and clean themselves.She said dogs create more problems than chickens would.

Resident Barbara Livingston also reiterated her support of

council and audience.“I’m more shaky than usual because of

the wireless Internet in here,” she said.“Wireless means microwave radiation,”which she said causes tremors and rapidheart rate, and is “very unhealthy.”

She also said arcing from smart meterscaused the devastating gas-line explosion inSan Bruno last September.

Another protester worried about privacyissues, billing accuracy and intrusion byPG&E in the personal lives of residents.

Professor Glen Chase said he’s read hun-dreds of reports on the Smart Meter issueand spent more than 5,000 hours studying it.

“They have found cell damage, breaks inDNA chains and breaches in the blood/brainbarrier,” he said. “We are far beyond the tip-ping point.” Furthermore, the FCC “hasnever done the laboratory tests and they’re inthe era of the 1500s,” he claimed.

Nobody mentioned any potential benefitsof smart meters.

Long hours of waitingAt the Pacific Grove City Council meet-

ing the next night, it wasn’t just the smartmeter activists who crowded the councilchamber.

In fact, it might have been the most

METERSFrom page 1A

bizarre council meeting in the history of thetown.

“It was a very interesting night,” MayorCarmelita Garcia told The Pine ConeThursday.

For example, the council and the audienceof more than 100 listened to a guy whoclaimed alien spacecraft constantly hover inthe skies and can be seen by earthlings ifthey have special equipment.

“I can show anyone with military-gradenight vision goggles,” the man said, “thereare spacecraft in the sky.”

One council member appeared to holdback a laugh.

Next, an excited man gave a fiery speechabout various obscure government conspira-cy theories and told the city council itsauthority was in question.

Pacific Grove police, in anticipation ofthe smart meter issue on the agenda, stoodwatch to make sure things didn’t get out ofhand.

A police commander and officer were incouncil chambers as a sergeant waited in thefoyer while at least two dozen people —many of whom were not P.G. residents —waited to tell the council how smart meterswere bad for their health and to urge thecouncil to ban the devices.

But the council, which had several morepressing issues on Wednesday’s agenda,never got to the topic. A couple of hours intothe council meeting, more than half of those

waiting to talk about smart meters left.“I wish [the council] would have put the

smart meters on the top of the agenda,” aMarina woman told The Pine Cone.

Garcia said a woman who traveled fromSanta Cruz told her she was disappointedthat the smart meter issue wasn’t heard.

The Carmel City Council has no furtherdebate about smart meters scheduled, and noone has made an official proposal to banthem.

In Pacific Grove, a special council meet-ing to discuss smart meter technology isscheduled for Wednesday, March 9, at 6 p.m.

At Tuesday night’s Carmel City Councilmeeting, a protester (left) warned thatvarious catastrophes would ensue ifsmart meters become commonplace,and she asked the council to banthem. Meanwhile, the meters are beinginstalled not only on electric metersaround the Monterey Peninsula, but ongas meters (below). Smart meters trackuse of electricity and gas in real timeand periodically report it to utility com-panies, which make the data availableto customers online, allowing them tofine-tune their usage to save moneyand protect the environment.

In YourDreams

By CHRIS COUNTS

BETTER KNOWN for its abundance of hiking trails, itsthriving community of artists and even its quirky softballleague, Big Sur has emerged as an unlikely hotbed for anoth-er activity: soccer.

Last Sunday, the Red Devils FC defeated Alianza FC 5-2in the Monterey Bay Soccer League’s B Division champi-onship for players 16 to 35. Sponsored by Post Ranch Inn, theRed Devils are made up almost entirely of Big Sur players.

“They eat, drink and sleep soccer,” explained league pres-ident Dan Priano, who is also the general manager of the PostRanch Inn. “They play hard, and they’re very passionateabout the game. I think they all go to bed with a soccer ballin their hands.”

In its win over Alianza, the RedDevils were led by Juan Carlos, whoscored a pair of goals, and GuillermoNarciso, Jose Arango and PedroGonzalez, who each scored a goal.

It was only a year ago that Prianoand others revived and reorganized aleague that had folded. Today, theMBSL boasts 38 teams in two divi-sions. And the league’s leadership hasplans to add more teams and expandto three divisions. The players comefrom as far away as Salinas, Gonzalesand even San Jose.

The names of most of the teams —such as Deportivo Honduras,

Athletico Guerrero and Aliaza FC — reflect the players’affection for their families’ hometowns or their favorite soc-cer teams. Alianza FC, for instance, is named after a popularEl Salvadorian team.

Juggling a passion for soccer with the responsibilities ofwork and family is no small challenge for the players, espe-cially those who live down the coast. Yet the players endurelong commutes and rough fields to play the game they love.Priano said they’ll practice “just about anywhere they canfind a flat piece of ground.”

Last Sunday’s championship, though, was played onMonterey Peninsula College’s state-of-the-art field. For play-ers accustomed to fields badly in need of maintenance, theexperience was a revelation.

“The players were really impressed,” Priano added. “Itbrought up the morale of the entire league.”

Utilizing a variety of local athletic fields, the MBSL playsit games on Saturday nights and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4p.m. For more information about the the league, visitwww.mbsl.us.

Win streaks — and title hopes —end for CHS basketball teams

By CHRIS COUNTS

THE CARMEL High School girls bas-ketball team’s Cinderella season — as wellas its 22-game win streak — came to an endSaturday when the Padres fell to top seedScotts Valley High 67-37 in the CentralCoast Section Division IV playoffs at NotreDame High School in Belmont.

“Scotts Valley is the No. 1 seed for a rea-son,” coach Jeff Nakamura explained. “Theywere playing with confidence, and theirshots were falling early and often. We could-n’t seem to get into a rhythm offensively.”

In her final game as a high-school player,Jule Muegge scored 25 points, sank four 3-point shots and grabbed six steals. “She triedto put Carmel on her back,” Nakamura said.

To earn the right to play Scotts Valley, thePadres outlasted Half Moon Bay High 57-53last Thursday in a tough road game.

Carmel High’s season looked in doubtafter Half Moon Bay dominated the thirdquarter 22-12 and took a 2-point lead enter-ing the final period. But the Padres held onfor the win thanks to some clutch 3-pointshooting by Sarah Anderson, who sank sixshots from beyond the arc (including fourout of five in the fourth quarter) and led allscorers with 24 points.

Muegge, who averaged 20 points pergame, finished the season as the top scorer inthe Monterey Bay region. She also rankedfourth in steals. Anderson led all players in3-point shooting, while Emma Fuzie andMacKenzie Dooner finished seventh and

10th, respectively, in blocks. Dooner alsoranked sixth in rebounds.

The girls’ final record stands at 23-3 over-all.

■ Boys’ playoff run ends in Atherton

After winning its playoff opener againstHarbor High Saturday on a timely 3-pointerby Garret Woodward, the Carmel Highboys’ basketball team was eliminated frompost-season play Tuesday by Sacred HeartPrep School.

Both games were played at Menlo High inAtherton.

Against Harbor High, the Padres weredown by 4 with 1:18 left in the game aftergiving up a late 8-point lead. But the CarmelHigh players kept their opponents in checkand were behind by just 2 points when theybrought the ball up the court with just 26seconds left.

“I told the guys if the 3-point shot isthere, go for it,” recalled coach RyanSanchez.

Woodward took Sanchez’ words to heartand sank a clutch three-pointer with just fiveseconds left, sending the Padres to the nextround of the playoffs.

Matching up against a taller Sacred Heartteam, Carmel High held a 21-17 halftimelead. In the second half, though, everything

Activists turn up heat on county over traffic counting methodBy CHRIS COUNTS

MORE THAN 100 residents turned out Feb. 24 atCarmel Middle School to hear a panel of activists blast thecounty’s method for measuring traffic on Carmel ValleyRoad, which they claim will lead to overdevelopment in thevalley.

They also warned that the county’s new general plan,which was adopted Oct. 26, 2010, would allow the method tobe used in other parts of the county.

The event, in the CMS gymnasium, was presented by theCarmel Valley Association, whose members have longargued that the county, by measuring “density at peak hours”instead of “average daily traffic,” would allow traffic con-gestion to increase as much as 80 percent before measureswere implemented to reduce it.

“Traffic is allowed to increase beyond previously accept-ed levels,” said panel member Tim Sanders, who called themethod a “transportation infrastructure disaster for county.”

Sanders and others accused county officials of using themethod specifically to permit more development.

“It misrepresents traffic to allow for greater traffic,”Sanders said. “That’s favorable to the county because it wantsto raise taxes from developers. And it’s favorable to develop-ers who want to develop more.”

A ‘very real threat’Previously, a subdivision moratorium restricted new sub-

divisions in Carmel Valley. The moratorium was trigged bytraffic flows along Carmel Valley Road. But the moratoriumended when the new general plan was adopted. It wasreplaced by a cap of 266 newly created lots. Sanders and oth-ers are concerned developers will find ways to circumventthe cap.

Another member of the panel, Chris Fitz, told the atten-dees that the threat of unwanted development in CarmelValley is very real. Specifically, he said the three supervisorswho don’t represent the Monterey Peninsula districts — LouCalcagno, Fernando Armenta and Simon Salinas — are“hellbent on approving subdivisions, particularly in CarmelValley, because you’re such relentless activists who care so

against the county Nov. 24, 2010, it was unlikely that any-body working for the county would be able to comment onthe matter. The complaint alleges the traffic method violatesthe California Environmental Quality Act.

‘101 Dalmatians’ on PacRep stageBy CHRIS COUNTS

THE HEARTWARMING tale of therecovery of a dognapped litter of Dalmatianpuppies comes alive Friday, March 4, on thestage of the Golden Bough Theater.

PacRep Theater and its School ofDramatic Arts program present a three-weekend run of the children’s stage versionof “101 Dalmatians.”

The play is based on Walt Disney’s 1961animated film adaptation of Dodie Smith’s1956 novel, which tells the story of eightDalmatian puppies stolen by an aptly namedvillainess, Cruella de Vil. She plans to turnthe puppies (and many others of their breed)into dog-skin coats. A daring and nail-bitingrescue ensues.

The play features of cast of more than 90actors, most of whom are children. Theyoungest is just 4 years old.

The starring roles in “101 Dalmatians”are played by students Kevin Matsumoto,Orion Keehan, Emma Satchell, Mia Pak,Paul Davis, Jessica Homami and DanielSanford. They will share the stage with adultactors Mitch Davis, Laura Akard, Sally Burn,Phyllis Davis and Mike Sanford.

For the children, the play offers a practi-cal introduction to the wonders of live the-ater. “It gives a lot of children an opportuni-

ty to be on stage,” explained Mary AnnSchaupp-Rousseau, the director and choreo-grapher of the play. “It’s quite a learning

Still going strong at 94, artist tests his creative limits

By CHRIS COUNTS

MANY ENDEAVORS are a bit diffi-cult to pick up at the age of 94. Abstractpainting, though, is definitely not one ofthem.

After spending much of his life replicat-ing the real world on canvas and paper, nona-generian Olof Dahlstrand will unveil his firstexhibit of abstract art, “Landscapes of theMind,” Saturday, March 5, at the Carmel ArtAssociation. “Most of my work is pretty rep-resentational,” said Dahlstrand, who onceserved on the Carmel City Council.

But in September, the art associationchallenged its members to create somethingabstract. Dahlstrand enjoyed the experimentso much that when he was offered a showthis month, he decided to focus his talentsexclusively on creating abstract art.“Basically, all art is abstract at its roots,” heexplained.

Focusing on design, color, proportion andcomposition — and using acrylics mixedwith dry pigments — Dahlstrand created a

series of paintings unlike any others he hasever attempted.

“I’m amazed at the end result,” he toldThe Pine Cone this week. “Everyone whohas seen these has gone bananas.”

In addition to the praise he has receivedfor his recent work, Dahlstrand reported thathis last show at the art association sold out.But fame and fortune aren’t what’s keepinghim painting. To the contrary, he simplyloves what he is doing.

“It’s really been fun,” he said of his latestcreative project. “That’s what art should be.”

In addition to being on Carmel’s citycouncil and planning commission,Dahlstrand enjoyed a successful career as anarchitect, designing local landmarks like thebank in mid-valley, the original CarmelPlaza complex and the former Crocker Banknext to Devendorf Park, now the HarrisonMemorial Library Park Branch.

In 2005, the Carmel ResidentsAssociation named Dahlstrand its Citizen of

■ Artist takes new look at the seaIn an exhibit that opened last week at the Marjorie Evans

Gallery, Carmel painter David Molesky takes an unconven-tional look at a common source of creative inspiration — theocean. “What captured my interest so much was how hiswork has moved from being very concrete and figurative tobeing more abstract and non-figurative,” explained BarbaraDavidson, assistant director of Sunset Center and the curatorof the show.

At first, Molesky created conventional seascapes, butlater “he became more intrigued with the waves and howbeautiful and heavenly looking they were, so he painted thesein soft pastel and blue colors,” Davidson continued. “Then,when the oil rig disaster happened in the Gulf of Mexico, hestarted seeing the ocean differently [again].”

As a result, Molesky’s more recent work highlights theocean’s turbulence and is painted with vivid colors.

“Eclipse of an Undercurrent” will be on display until theend the month. The gallery will host a reception Thursday,March 10, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Foraging and feasting, chanterelle champs, and a different dinnerBy MARY BROWNFIELD

AS LOCAL foragers know, the Monterey Peninsula isrich with wild plants and animals worthy of culinary effortsin the kitchen. To celebrate this bounty and capitalize on theknowledge of people like wild-mushroom expert andCalifornia State Parks ranger Chuck Bancroft and foragerFreddy Menge, Bernardus Lodge is presenting the Ediblesfrom the Wild Demonstration & Lunch Saturday, March 12,from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In preparation for the day, chef Cal Stamenov and pastrychef Ben Spungin have crafted a creative buffet lunch menubased on an exhaustive “working list of wild ingredients,”including roots, miner’s lettuce, dandelion greens, ramps,leeks, onions, nasturtiums, woods sorrel, nettles, watercress,coyote mint, prickly pear, acorns, cattails and mustardgreens. And the list goes on: pine, oak, candy cap mush-rooms, honey, sea salt, rice, eggs of various birds, seaweed,barnacles, crab, crayfish and samphire, not to mention veni-son, quail, deer, frog legs, fennel, fiddleheads, bay laurel,manzanita blossoms, chamomile, purslane, epazote, mussels,abalone, rock fish, three varieties of trout, boar and deer.

Stinging nettles, for instance, will be served in a soup withbraised snails and wild onion butter, while agaricus mush-rooms will appear in a salad with pine nuts and chic weed.Mussels will be poached in chamomile and coyote mint withseaweed butter, while wild frog legs will be dipped in groundcorn, fried until crispy and served with watercress, nastur-tium and Meyer lemon aioli. Other planned dishes will fea-ture trout, quail and deer.

During the event, Bancroft is expected to talk about thelegality of foraging and collecting in urban areas, state parksand the coastline, as well as the history of coastal ingredientsand his adventures hunting for wild mushrooms throughoutBig Sur and Carmel. Menge is set to discuss backyard culti-vation of wild ingredients, home gardening and farming, for-aging through the Santa Cruz Mountains and the conditionsthat impact foraging, such as forest fires’ effects on morelsand the best situations for collecting sea salt.

Stamenov said he plans to field the cooking questions,such as how to prepare snails, sea snails, wild mushroomsand thistle root, and he will share ideas for incorporatinguntraditional and wild ingredients into everyday cooking.Spungin, meanwhile, will wow guests with his signature cre-ative and beautiful desserts, including black truffle crèmebrûlée, chanterelle caramelized white chocolate mousse,candy cap meringue cheesecake, goat yogurt panna cottawith puffed wild rice, pine caramels and oak ice cream.

The cost is $95 per person, including tax and tip.Reservations are required by calling (831) 658-3550.

The menu, which will change regularly,currently includes New York Steak with garlic mashed pota-toes, pico de gallo garnish and sautéed vegetables; salmonwith beurre blanc and broccolini; vegetable lasagna; and achicken dish, according to Rancho Cielo executive directorSusie Brusa. All ingredients are sourced locally when possi-ble, and the fish selection is guided by the Monterey BayAquarium’s Seafood Watch list.

The restaurant also offers Monterey County wines at retailprices. While Paraiso, Scheid and Meador Estate are featuredon the list, Brusa hopes other local wineries will want to be

tors to the resort and restaurant — with his chanterelle-stuffed beef tenderloin over creamy mascarpone polenta withchanterelle black truffle ragout. The grassfed beef came fromHearst Ranch, and the chanterelles were local.

“I picked a lot of them myself this weekend,” he said,adding that the challenge of a chanterelle cook-off is that themild mushroom is not by nature “a big star.”

Jonathan Roberts, also known as PigWizard and a winnerat last year’s cook-off, prepared a whole boneless pigletinjection brined with chanterelle pork stock, soba noodlescooked in the same stock, his Orange Poppy ChickenSausage and pickled chanterelles, while Mundaka chefBrandon Miller offered veal chanterelle terrine with mustardseed crème fraîche and chanterelle paella with duck confit,roasted duck breast, saffron and blood orange.

Also impressive were Deetjen’s chef DomingoSantamaria’s Big Sur chanterelles with lamb and butter beanscassoulet garnished with yoghurt and truffle oil raita, and res-ident Seth Parker’s cream of wild Big Sur sage andchanterelle soup with bacon fried potatoes.

“It was an amazing day — the weather held firm, and thecrowd was fabulous and they loved it,” reported organizerToby Rowland-Jones, adding that a benefit for photographerRachael Short, who was injured in a car accident late lastyear, raised more than $4,000, “which in itself was a won-derful achievement.”

included, too.She encouraged Monterey Peninsula residents to venture

to Rancho Cielo for the culinary experience and to supportthe kids who hope to make cooking their livelihood.

“It seems really, really far away, but it’s probably about 35minutes from Carmel,” said Brusa, who makes the drive fre-quently as a member of the board of directors of the CarmelBach Festival.

The culinary program serves Monterey County residentsbetween the ages of 17 and 24 who did not finish high schooland are contending with poverty or other hardships, accord-ing to Brusa. Rancho Cielo works with a charter school thatgrants high-school diplomas, so the students can obtain thatvaluable certificate and valuable vocational training at thesame time. Applications are available on the website.

Guests who dine at the Drummond Culinary Academywill help provide useful training as their dinner tabs help sus-tain the program. Seating is available from 5:30 to 7 p.m.each Friday, so the kids can be finished around 9:30, Brusasaid. Reservations can be made by calling (831) 444-3521.

To learn more, visit www.ranchocieloyc.org. RanchoCielo is located at 710 Old Stage Road in Salinas, and dri-ving directions are available on the website, as GPS systemsreportedly provide inaccurate information.

■ Chanterelle victoriesThe sold-out Big Sur Chanterelle Festival and Cook-Off

drew talented chefs from the Monterey Peninsula and downthe coast, and the foodies who packed the Big Sur Lodge totaste their creations Feb. 26 cast votes for their favorites.

Regarding the best celebration of the ubiquitous Big Surchanterelle mushroom, the people voted Michael Jones of AMoveable Feast/Cachagua Store as Most Creative for hisooey-gooey, delicious sweet of chanterelle nougat withchanterelle dulce de leche, caramelized chanterelles in butterand Murray River pink salt.

“Nice to know that weird is not limited to our valley!”Jones said via the Store’s Facebook page after the contest.“Thanks, folks! And thanks to Brendan [his son and anaccomplished chef as well] for trying to figure out how tomake a Chanterelle Mars Bar!”

Stamenov and Spungin jointly won the Tastiest and BestOverall categories. Stamenov prepared a savory, captivatingand texturally rich combination of golden chanterelles withBloomsdale spinach, garlic cream, cured steelhead salmonroe and butter croutons, while Spungin’s talent manifested ina nutty, not-too-sweet chanterelle and white chocolatemousse with pistachio and grapefruit.

Although he didn’t win a prize, Treebones chef MichaelWood won a lot of praise and attention — and potential visi-

Editorial

Protesters don’t need facts

IN THE Spring of 1977, doom was on its way to neighborhoods around New

York’s Kennedy Airport.

That’s what hordes of community activists said, anyway, as they fought to

keep the supersonic Concorde from being granted landing rights in the United

States.

“We’ll have to live in caves because of the noise,” one protester told the New

York Times.

The Concorde’s sonic booms would shatter windows as it flew over land, the

activists said, and would stun, if not kill, whales when it was over the sea. The

plane would deplete the ozone layer, thereby causing an increase in skin cancer

worldwide, they maintained. And it would bring about widespread insanity

among people who lived near airports.

“There’s no way we’re going to take it ... absolutely we will prevent it physi-

cally,” a protester said. Another advocate angrily promised “confrontation and

massive demonstrations” on runways to block the aircraft.

“They say it will just be a 16-month trial period, but by that time we’ll all be

deaf or in mental institutions,” one woman lamented.

The claims of the anti-Concorde protesters were reported without a hint of

skepticism by the news media, dominating front pages for weeks on end and

even catching the attention of the mighty “CBS Evening News” with Walter

Cronkite, especially when protesters purposely created gridlock around

Kennedy Airport by staging slow-moving convoys on the airport’s access roads.

Despite their best efforts and the support of the media, the anti-Concorde pro-

testers failed, of course. The Concorde was approved by the Carter administra-

tion and operated out of Kennedy Airport quite successfully from 1977 to 2003.

Even after just a few months, it became apparent that none of the things pre-

dicted by the anti-Concorde demonstrators were even remotely going to happen.

Their frenzied claims, it turned out, were utterly false. But while their particular

campaign of misinformation may have been forgotten, the tactics of the anti-

Concorde protesters certainly haven’t been. In fact, they’ve been improved.

In Madison, Wis., for example, all sorts of doom is being predicted if Gov.

Scott Walker succeeds in stripping public employees of most of their collective

bargaining rights. Nevermind that workers in many states can’t form unions, or

that federal employees have very few union rights. So effective have the

anguished protests at the state capitol been, opinion polls show that a majority

of the public is now against Walker’s move. But how many people responding to

those polls even know what the words, “collective bargaining,” mean?

Right here at home, a traveling circus of anti-smart-meter protesters is mak-

ing the rounds. For the time being, their ridiculously apocalyptic claims aren’t

getting much traction with the news media or the public. But just wait ... once

the chaos in Wisconsin is over, all those union protesters will need something

new to do. And aren’t smart meters going to put a whole bunch of meter readers

out of work?

20A The Carmel Pine Cone March 4, 2011

L e t t e r sto the Editor

Walking lane neededDear Editor,

I walk Scenic Road from Carmel Beachto Carmel River State Beach and back everyday of the year, rain or shine, mornings,afternoons and/or evenings. I am dumb-founded that the county has not made all ofScenic Road (from Santa Lucia to Carmelo)one-way with a walking/running lane yearsago.

Have you ever observed the number ofpeople walking the road on a busy holidayweekend? Hundreds a day, and it could verywell be even a thousand or more. Have youever observed the way tourists drive ScenicRoad? Trust me, not with their eyes on theroad.

I am 53 years old and I have been almostrun over countless times and I am extremelycareful the way I walk and watch out for

cars. I have also observed countless closecalls between autos and pedestrians onScenic at least five times a week, more onthe weekends.

There are senior citizens and motherswith strollers walking out there every day.We especially owe them and everyone whowalks on Scenic the high margin of safetythat a one-way road with a walking lanewould provide.

This walking lane would be similar to abike lane painted with a thick white line soas to keep autos in their own lane and awayfrom pedestrians.

This is a very simple fix. The projectwouldn’t cost much. It would add a muchhigher level of safety to the walkers/pedestri-ans who walk/run on Scenic.

Finally: There is not one speed limit signon Scenic Road between Carmelo and SantaLucia ... there ought to be.

Divine solution?Dear Editor,

Very recently, the United States vetoed aproposed United Nations resolution whichwould confirm the illegality of the Israelisettlements throughout the West Bank.However, there are those who believe thatGod made a gift of this land to the Jewishpeople many millennia ago.

If God is omnipotent, as many believe, itwould behoove Her to appear on Earth andresolve the gift question. I would abide byHer decision.

Erling Lagerholm,Carmel

KNEEFrom page 1A

After the procedure was over, Carter toldPegis’ wife that the surgery went “very well,”that a tiny tear on her husband’s knee hadbeen repaired, and that “he found no arthritisin her husband’s knee,” according to the suit.

However, after a nurse escorted his wifein to see him while he was recovering, Pegistold them “they did the wrong knee.”

The nurse “immediately notified” Carterof the mistake, and the physician told Pegishe would take him back to the operatingroom to perform surgery on the right knee.Shortly thereafter, the doctor performedsurgery on the correct knee.

The lawsuit alleges Carter, who has anoffice in Ryan Ranch, performed thesurgery. Field is an anesthesiologist.

A message left for Carter was notreturned. Field and the Monterey PeninsulaSurgery Center declined to comment aboutthe lawsuit.

The complaint alleges medical malprac-tice, and physician’s performance of unau-thorized treatment and failure to obtaininformed consent.

It also alleges battery because actions ofthe physicians “were not consented to or

authorized, and represented offensive andintentional touching.”

Pegis is seeking general and punitivedamages, past and future medical expenses,lost wages and earnings, attorneys fees andother costs.

Before surgery, the suit says, medicalstaff never marked Pegis’ right knee to indi-cate that was the leg that needed surgery —a common practice by many surgeons.

That’s why — unbeknownst to Pegisbecause he was unconscious — the clinic’sstaff wrongly prepped his left knee, not hisright, for surgery, he contends.

The left knee, which had not caused Pegisany problems, will eventually requiresurgery “to repair the injuries suffered as aresult of the negligence of defendants,”according to the suit.

Pegis also alleges he “suffered and con-tinues to suffer great physical and emotionalpain” and is unable to work because of themistake.

There are numerous other high-profilecases of so-called wrong-sided surgery in theUnited States and abroad.

A Florida doctor in amputated the wrongleg of a patient in 1995, and at a RhodeIsland hospital in 2007, there were three sep-arate occasions where surgeons operated onthe wrong side of a patient’s head.

out. A suction hose got slashed when itwound up around a central impeller, causingthe system failure.

The chlorination unit has been sent forrepairs, and a backup system is working inits place. Buikema estimated it would cost asmuch as $7,000 if the chlorine unit needed tobe replaced.

Pager and cell phone alarm systems thatare supposed to notify employees of a systemmalfunction also failed.

Buikema said CAWD contacted the coun-ty health department, regional water boardand NOAA about the spill.

“We had NOAA down at the plant thisafternoon asking the very same questionsregarding impact on marine life, inspecting

our systems, and examining the effluent,”she said. “They indicated they would not betaking any action because of this incident.”

It’s possible the state could fine CAWDabout $3,000 for the spill, although Buikemasaid they are hoping to avoid any monetarypenalties.

“I think that the fact that we promptlyreported to all appropriate agencies and thatwe did not violate our permit limits,” shesaid, “it may turn out that we will not receivea fine.”

Buikema said CAWD officials are in theprocess of trying to determine exactly whatwent wrong with the failed systems so itdoesn’t happen again.

“I believe we’ve taken all the steps we canto correct where things failed, and we’ll con-tinue to look at what happened to see ifwe’ve missed anything or need furtherupgrades,” she explained.

FORMER ASSISTANT city administra-tor Greg D’Ambrosio will receive theCarmel Residents Association’s Citizen ofthe Year award Sunday, March 27, at a 3 p.m.celebration in the Carmel Woman’s Club atSan Carlos and Ninth.

CRA board member Barbara Livingstoncalled D’Ambrosio “the conscience ofCarmel’s natural environment,” and said hewill receive the award “for his past and ongo-

D’Ambrosio honored by CRAing efforts to build, maintain and enhance thetrails, pathways, parks and open space ofCarmel-by-the Sea.”

Sanders, though, dismissed Samuel’sdefense of the method.

“They got off to a hot start in the secondhalf, and it just snowballed from there,”Sanchez explained.

County official :No charge forappeals withincoastal zone

IN LAST week’s Pine Cone, we reportedthat a group of Carmel Point residents wastold by county staff that they would berequired to pay about $5,000 to appeal adecision by the Monterey County zoningadministrator. We also reported that 5thDistrict supervisor Dave Potter stepped inand worked out a deal to waive the fee.
