CRA News November 2003

Selected articles from the newsletter of the Carmel Residents Association

Steve Baker and Dottie Bradbury Steve Baker, left, president of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, enjoyed talking with Dottie Bradbury at CRA "Dines Out" at Carmel Bistro after the general meeting.

Dottie is president of the Friends of Sunset Foundation and was delighted at Steve's enthusiastic reaction to the new facility, which he recently toured with Mayor Sue McCloud.

Dr. Baker was given rave reviews for his interesting, educational and entertaining talk about the Monterey Institute, the world scene for which students are being prepared and the specific programs which will allow graduates to work in international business, trade, policy making, translation and interpretation and teaching languages.

CRA Meeting -- Coastal marine mammals, the sanctuary and the submarine canyon

Thursday, Nov. 20 -- CRA Meeting
	4:45 p.m. -- Milos Radakovich, Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary Vista Lobos Meeting Room, Torres between 3rd & 4th Delicious hot and cold hors d'oeuvres following the meeting

By popular demand, Milos Radakovich, program director of the BAY NET volunteer network for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, has agreed to return as our Nov. 20 speaker. There was general agreement that his 1998 talk was interesting, informative and fun. In addition to covering local marine mammals, the Monterey Bay Sanctuary and the Monterey Submarine Canyon, Mr. Radakovich will be happy to answer any other questions you might have, from plate tectonics to whales, waves or fog.

Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Mr. Radakovich and his family immigrated to the U.S. in 1960, settling in San Francisco. "In other words," he says, "a skinny white kid with a funny accent moves from a Communist country into the racially mixed Fillmore district at the height of the Cold War. The original 'Survivor' plot!"

He attended San Francisco State University, and in 1971 came to Monterey to further his studies in marine biology at the Moss landing Marine Laboratories. His major course work was in adaptive physiology and behavior of marine mammals. For 20 years Milos Radakovich has been conducting innovative classroom programs on the Central Coast and, through his business, Scientific Enterprises, he operates as a consultant, educator and nature guide.

Our speaker has received several awards for his work, including Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Educator of the Year in 1998, a 1999 Citizen Award from the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments and, in 2001, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Environmental Hero award.

EDITORIAL

A yes vote on Measure Q --
the right thing to do

The Board of Directors of the Carmel Residents Association voted unanimously to support the passage of Measure Q, the cent sales tax increase which would generate $25 million per year for Natividad Medical Center, ensuring its financial viability. Purchases by Monterey County visitors would account for 44% to 50% of this tax. For a middle-income family of four, this would cost about 5 cents per person per day. The mail-in ballot for this election must be received by the County Registrar by December 2. The measure needs a 2/3 supermajority to pass.

We think that a Yes vote on this measure is the right thing to do for the following reasons:

Monterey County's economic stability depends upon tourism and agriculture, industries whose workers depend heavily upon the services provided by Natividad. Mostly uninsured or under-insured, these people who prop up our county deserve decent health services. Peninsula residents also employ household help and gardeners who look to Natividad for their health care. A healthy work force is important for us all.
If Natividad were to close its doors, some 59,000 patients would be dispersed to a patchwork of other agencies or could fall through the cracks. Many would land in other emergency rooms, including CHOMP, causing overcrowding of these facilities.
The Herald, referring to counties which have closed their hospitals, said in an August 5 editorial, "Writing off the working poor, as Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo counties essentially have done, is unconscionable. Furthermore, it wouldn't work here because low-wage earners are the lifeblood of our largest industries. A county hospital remains the best safety net for low-income patients and for Monterey County. The lesson of other counties' experience is that we must prepare to spend more on care for the indigent."
Natividad is the only academic medical center on the Central Coast. It is affiliated with U.C. San Francisco School of Medicine and provides practical training for nursing programs at Hartnell and Monterey Peninsula College.

We urge a Yes vote on Measure Q. It is the right thing to do!

Turning Sunset Center over to outside group is cause for concern

Carmel's 87th birthday at Sunset Center included two well-attended open houses sponsored by the Community and Cultural Commission. Residents were delighted to tour the city's "crown jewel" and to see live performances. A miniscule few, however, have any idea what is going on with the governance of their cultural center.

An April, 2003, CRA News editorial concerning a mayor's ad hoc committee, meeting out of public view about the future of Sunset, concluded, "The fear is that by the time their private deliberations are finished, an important decision will essentially have been made with only token, if any, public participation." And, this is exactly what happened at a specially-called meeting on Oct. 21, when the council voted to negotiate with a non-profit corporation, Sunset Cultural Center, with the intent of turning over the entire facility to them to run.

Architect and former planning commissioner Olof Dahlstrand said, "Some of my worst fears are happening ... Sunset Center is owned by the citizens of Carmel and they also own the considerable debt attached to it. It appears that this is divorcing citizens even further from the process. The corporation does not answer to the citizens. They [the public] have no control over it. In my mind, it is just bad government."

Although City Administrator Rich Guillen characterized the proposal to run the center as "unsolicited," Councilman Gerard Rose praised the mayor for "recruiting" such an "extraordinary" group. The nine-member board is a virtual Who's Who of business people and attorneys. Jim Price, the chair of the non-profit, also chaired the mayor's ad hoc committee. Guillen said the board's lack of experience running a facility like this would be compensated for by the expertise of the general manager. Mayor Sue McCloud stressed the importance of making the center "lean and mean" to ensure that it does not falter financially. She defended the lack of input from commissions saying it is hard to make a timely decision because these groups only meet once a month. It seems ironic that the city did nothing about this during the two years Sunset was closed but now does not have the time to follow the long-accepted process for making such an important decision.

Barbara Livingston and Dick Ely were worried that the public had been left out of the process. Rose, however, felt it would be "ridiculous" to involve the public before a contract is negotiated. Livingston, who voted "no" on the resolution, was especially disappointed that the Cultural Commission had not been involved, and worried that small, local groups would be priced out of the facility. She also wondered what would become of the Cultural Commission and the center's director. Cultural Commissioner Carol Hilburn, agreeing with Mr. Dahlstrand, reiterated that citizens had not been able to study this proposal because it was done "behind closed doors." Pointing out that this is a huge investment, she thought there could be future problems with the city giving away a facility that is so important to the community. Hilburn was also afraid the new non-profit would compete with other arts groups in town while looking for "deep pockets" to support the center.

We are willing to give the new non-profit the benefit of the doubt and hope that Sunset Center will prosper under its leadership. However, all interested Carmelites should insist that mechanisms be included in the lease/management contract which will ensure that the governance of this public facility be done in the light of day. This would certainly include all meetings being open to the public.

President's Message
by Larry Rodocker

The Encounter

Upon us, once again, the rainy season is here.

How may one pass a dark, wet day to bring personal cheer?

May I suggest something that, to me, is a treat,

An approach which helps make each day complete--

To stimulate the imagination, to learn facts, to expand the mind.

Process not difficult to discover, not hard to find.

No financial investment needed, nor long trip required,

Only the journey of search which makes one inspired.

Joys abound as individual or as group to share;

To gain knowledge or to socialize as the fare.

Yes, it is an encounter with a book,

For any interest in which one may look.

Come morning, think on what you may want to learn,

Once decided, then know where to turn--

The Harrison Memorial Library to engage and to enthrall.

Open every day, open to all.

Volunteers needed for Bay Sanctuary

Public Works Director Jim Cullem has invited beach cleanup volunteers or other interested CRA members to become involved in an interesting venture-joining with the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Citizen Watershed Monitoring Network to monitor the outflow of urban runoff into our bay. The Network is recruiting people to help collect this vital information to help protect the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

This year, Carmel volunteers would observe First Flush and Urban Watch volunteers in Monterey and Pacific Grove. Originated in 2002, First Flush is a one-day monitoring effort during the first major rain of the season, usually in October or November. This first rain flushes roadways and impermeable surfaces, carrying months of accumulated contaminants and debris into the ocean. Trained First Flush volunteers monitor storm drain outfalls two to four times at approximately 30-minute intervals to determine any change in contaminants over time. The samples collected during the First Flush represent the worst-case scenario of pollutants flowing into the Sanctuary. Armed with this data, analysts can look at trends in contamination and create better policies for dealing with this precious resource. The Urban Watch program continues monitoring outfalls throughout the year.

Next year, according to Mr. Cullem, the volunteers will be able to do their own collection on Carmel beach. Only a few hours of time are required. If you are interested, or want more information, please call Jim Cullem at 624-3532.

Marchers in Carmel Halloween Parade

Seventeen stalwart CRA members, some overcoming inhibitions and two fighting physical pain, made up the 2003 precision marching team in Carmel's Halloween parade. They gained tremendous applause along the parade route as they gave their spirited chant, which invited others to join in the monthly beach cleanup. The marchers were: Gloria Eldred, Karyl Hall and Fred Nelson, Joan Horton, Kay and Harvey Kuffner, Ali McDaniel, Gene McFarland and his dog "Duff," Roberta and Monte Miller, Allan Paterson, Peggy Purchase, Marv Silverman, Loretta and King Williams and Linda and Clayton Anderson. Dick Laney provided logistical support and Howard Skidmore was technical director.

CRA members helped with birthday

City Council member Barbara Livingston, who serves on the committee which organized the city's birthday barbecue, asked us to thank all of the Carmel Residents Association members who volunteered to help with the event. They did everything from setting up tables to cleaning up and lots in between.

The group included Catherine and Jim Bell, Dianne and Jim Brun, Melanie and Harvey Billig, Dorothy and Greg Cole, Bob Kohn, Terry Laine, Terre Martin, Roberta and Monte Miller, Suzanne Paboojian, Dona Seymour-Smith, Barbara and Dick Stiles and Louise and Joe Tanous.

Ban smoking on beach?
What do you think?

An Oct. 26 article in the Herald reported that the City Council of Solana Beach, in San Diego county, has voted to ban cigarette smoking on its beach.

Cleanup volunteers and walkers have for years lamented the use of our beach as a gigantic ashtray. At last month's Coastal Cleanup on Carmel Beach, 70 participants picked up 882 cigarettes, or 12.6 per person. Multiplying that conservative figure times the 9,085 hours CRA cleaners have put in over the past 12 years, we have picked up 114,471 cigarette butts!

If you have an opinion on whether we should ask the Carmel City Council to consider banning smoking on the beach, drop us a line at CRA News, Box 13, Carmel, CA 93921, or call any of our board members.

CRA Profiles by Walter Gourlay

Suzanne Arnold

Community service, energy and enthusiasm are three words that best characterize this vivacious lady who has recently moved into our village.

CRA Board member Suzanne Arnold and her husband Richard came here from Boulder, Colorado, little more than a year ago and already she has deeply involved herself in historic preservation and community service because, she says, she loves Carmel.

Suzanne grew up in Winona, a small town in Minnesota, and attended Loretto Heights College, where she majored in English Literature. After graduation, she taught in primary schools in Denver and near Boulder, Colorado. She taught mostly kindergarten, she says, because she "likes the energy of young children." While teaching kindergarten, Suzanne got special training and became a validator for the National Association for Education of Young Children, an organization based in Washington, D.C., that helps pre-schools and kindergartens to improve their curriculum and teaching methods based on educational research.

In Denver she met her husband, who was studying for a degree in mathematics. They met at a dance. He was a great dancer, she says, because his mother had insisted he take dancing lessons. They dated "for a couple of years," and then he proposed. At the time, Richard was in the ground crew of the Air National Guard, and had just begun to pilot small planes. One week after their wedding, he was called to active duty in Vietnam. After he returned safely to the States he became a commercial pilot and currently flies for Continental Airlines.

The young couple built their own house in the mountains near Boulder. "It was really tough in the winter," Suzanne recalls, "when we had to hike up that mountain road in those snowstorms." In 1977 they had a daughter, Andrea, who lives in Venice, California, working for a firm that does publicity for restaurants. After their daughter was born the couple moved down from the mountains to Boulder, where they bought an historic house and proceeded to renovate it. Richard found some old receipts in the attic that revealed the house had once belonged to a gold assayer. Suzanne was hooked. "I did research into the history of the house. That's when I became interested in historic preservation. The renovation went on forever," she says, laughing. "And all that time I was teaching, and he was flying, and we were raising Andrea."

While living in Colorado the couple had vacationed in Carmel and, like so many of us, were captivated by its charm and its pleasant climate. Suzanne was also enchanted by the beauty of the Big Sur coast. Boulder, too, has natural beauty, she reflects, but it has those extremes of heat and cold. So in June of last year the Arnolds moved to Carmel. Almost immediately, they joined the CRA, and this year Suzanne became a new member of its Board.

She and her husband live in a contemporary house formerly owned by Robert Campbell. The local writer and benefactor built it in 1989 and, she observes, it is modern by Carmel standards. They enjoy living close to the Sunset Center, as they are both fond of music. Richard plays the piano, classical mostly, and Suzanne grew up in a family that enjoyed music. She likes almost every kind of music.

As a member of the CRA Board, Suzanne is active in the "Dines Out" program and, true to her love of historical preservation, she's joined the board of the Flanders Foundation.

Besides her community activities in Carmel, this energetic, compassionate woman volunteers at the Hospice House, and "vigils" by staying with those who are on the point of dying and have no one else to be with them.

Suzanne is also an active member of the Sierra Club and takes part in its hikes, particularly in the Big Sur area. "Rafting in the Arroyo Seco was wonderful," she says. She loves to go to the beach and jog, and takes her three dogs with her. Two are West Highland White Terriers, while the third is a mixed breed dog who was starving and followed her to her hotel when she was out jogging one day in Mexico. Of course, Suzanne had to feed and adopt her.

Suzanne has a lively personality and laughs readily. She is also modest, and prefers to talk more about her husband and Carmel than herself. Carmel, she says, is a very special place. "I've met lovely, charming people here. They've been good friends and so helpful."

Welcome to Carmel, Suzanne and Richard Arnold. We know you'll be happy here. And we're fortunate to have you.

Holiday Safety
by Carmel Fire Department Captain Mitch Kastros

Here are some safety tips to help you and your family as you gear up for the holidays and prepare for festivities in the weeks ahead. Decorations are a big part of the season, but they can present a potential for fire danger if not used properly. Holiday light strings should be inspected to make sure the cords are intact and that there are no breaks or exposed interior wires. The cords should be pliable, and each string needs to be tested before being used. For safety's sake, please discard old, broken and brittle light strings and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer for all electrical decorations. These decorations often involve the use of extension cords, and the possibility of overloading electrical outlets. Avoid thin, cheap extension cords that, while approved and legal, have proven to be dangerous. If you need an extension cord, always use a heavy duty one that will connect to only one other cord. When faced with more cords than available outlets, use a power strip that contains a circuit breaker. Do not use cheap, multi-plug adapters that have no way of shutting themselves off if overloaded.

A cut Christmas tree will not absorb liquid when placed in water, but it will retain its moisture much longer if you use a stand with water. Cutting about two inches off of the trunk before placing the tree in water will help retain moisture even more. A simple trick that will eliminate messy spills when the tree is up is to place ice cubes in the water-stand. Some Christmas tree lots, if asked, will apply fire retardant to your tree and a live, potted tree is another alternative. Try to avoid placing your tree near a heater vent or the fireplace.

Speaking of the fireplace, a lot of us have fireplaces with gas jets that are used to help logs ignite. The valve to activate the jets is usually found in the floor, adjacent to or in front of the fireplace, or somewhere in the vicinity of the opening. A removable key needs to be inserted into the valve to turn the gas on and off. When the gas is off, please remove the key to prevent the gas from accidentally and unknowingly being turned on.

As this column is being written, the weather continues to be hot and dry and fires are raging in Southern California. The same could happen here with one careless moment, so please be extra careful when it comes to fire safety and awareness. Report any suspicious activity or potentially dangerous situations to the fire department immediately.

We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a joyous and safe holiday season.

Out of CRA's past

"Carmel is for uncommon men and women who have an uncommon concern for the place where they live, the world they inhabit and for the generations to follow."
Gunnar Norberg

While looking through the CRA News archives, your editor discovered an October, 1998, President's Message written by then-President Suzanne Paboojian which not only includes colorful CRA history but is equally relevant today.

"At the September [1998] meeting, two of the Carmel Residents Association's founding members and former presidents, J.S. 'Jim' Holliday and Francis 'Skip' Lloyd, recounted those stirring, early days. Lloyd recalled a concerned group of residents, much troubled by a proposed 'fast track' revision of the 1984 General Plan, the city's constitution for future development. Clint Eastwood had just won a lopsided victory and a weakening of the General Plan was feared. The concerned citizens circulated Blue Sheets, handwritten flyers explaining the issues and summoning residents to attend City Hall meetings. Ken White [then mayor], described it as the time Carmel 'lost its innocence.' Lloyd commended White, chairperson of the Planning Commission at the time, and the only one whom Mayor Eastwood did not fire, as responsible for slowing down the process enough for citizen input. The Blue Sheets led to neighborhood meetings, many at the home of [the late] Jane Mayer, another CRA founder, who had been the chairperson of the 1984 General Plan committee. The citizen meetings culminated in a meeting at All Saints Episcopal Church, where the Carmel Residents Association officially came into being with Howard Neiman, Jr. as its first chairman. The efforts of committed residents resulted in preserving 90% of the visionary 1984 General Plan.

"Lloyd recounted how he bumped into Holliday, not at the post office but in San Francisco, and asked if he wanted to join up. Doing a great imitation of CRA's venerable white knight, Lloyd pounded his fist on the table and said, 'You're damned right I want to join!'

"Today the General Plan does not appear to be under wholesale attack. But, forays to chip away at it are a constant reminder that the integrity of the village is only as secure as adherence to this guiding document. So, is it time to break camp, and cease the vigilant watch? 'No!' said Holliday. We must be the authentic voice of residential values, seeking common ground with 'local' business owners and the burgeoning number of part-time residents, who may wish to know the history of the defenders of Frank Devendorf's enduring vision of Carmel, a forested village by the sea. The defenders included Perry Newberry, Argyll Campbell and son Gordon, Skip Lloyd's father and mother Frank and Marjorie Lloyd and Gunnar Norberg.

"The Carmel Residents Association has an honorable history. From here we have a responsibility to remain committed to the future of this village. After all, we really do live here. Every day we pick up our mail, shop, visit friends, enjoy the beach and conduct business. As a Carmel Residents Association member, you have expressed your commitment to Carmel as a residential village. In the words of former mayor Gunnar Norberg, 'Carmel is for uncommon men and women who have an uncommon concern for the place where they live, the world they inhabit and for the generations to follow.'

"If you are interested in learning more about the enduring vision of Carmel's founders and defenders, a must read is Harold and Ann Gilliam's Creating Carmel. Copies are available at the Harrison Memorial Library."

OLD CARMEL
by Connie Wright

Gunnar Norberg: The abominable no-man or the conscience of Carmel

Called the Abominable No-Man by his pro-development detractors, and the Conscience of Carmel by proponents of no growth, Gunnar Norberg followed in the tradition of Perry Newberry (CRA News, Nov. 2002), opposing unbridled growth, freeways, motel construction, rampant tourism, and advocating the preservation of a natural, simple quality of life.

He was born in Kenora, Ontario, in 1907 and came to the U.S. as a child. From 1926-31 he studied intermittently at Stanford and in 1936 he married actress Barbara Drew Collins, of the Barrymore family. In New York, where he had met Barbara, he established a journalism career, as a Hearst newspaper columnist and as a magazine editor for Fawcett publications. In 1940 he and Barbara came to Carmel on vacation and stayed. They both acted in Edward Kuster's Golden Bough Theater. In 1941 he opened Norberg Travel Agency, which he ran until his retirement in 1979. During World War II, he was turned down for Officer Training School, although a very bright and accomplished man. He was called for service in the Army, and was a private from 1943 to 45, mostly picking up cigarette butts, he said.

Returning to Carmel, he dedicated almost all the remaining years of his life to the battle of preserving Carmel as a village. He served as city councilman from 1958 to 1962, when he was defeated because of his outspoken views, and again from 1966-68, when he was defeated because he would not compromise. He was vice-mayor from 1972-76, and mayor from 1976-80. Ill, he did not run in 1980, and was badly defeated in 1982. His seesaw career in politics is attributed to his refusal to budge on issues.

In 1968, Barney Laiolo became mayor. The Carmel Plaza plan, which he supported, and was vehemently opposed by Gunnar, who called it a "three-story monstrosity," was finally approved. However, Laiolo was defiantly opposed when he tried to turn the beloved Forest Theater into a parking lot for city vehicles. Gunnar and photographer Cole Weston's spirited defense included a benefit which netted the Forest Theater Guild $5,000, which they spent on a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, with Gunnar directing. It was designed to be and was a masterpiece. A blitz of pro-Forest Theater letters, inspired by Gunnar, was successful and in 1972 the city dropped its plan to use the outdoor theater as a parking lot and instead donated $5,000 for its restoration.

In the summer of 1972, Barbara Norberg died. At the same time, Paul Flanders died and when his mansion seemed to be about to fall into the hands of developers, Gunnar mounted his "Save the Flanders Estate" campaign. In the absence of Mayor Bernard Anderson, Gunnar, as vice-mayor, persuaded the City Council to buy the mansion for $275,000. When Gunnar married Wies Christianson in June of 1973, he obtained permission from the city to wed at Flanders. The Forest Theater Guild stored its costumes there, and they were married in the costumes of Gunnar's great directorial success, Twelfth Night. Hundreds enthusiastically attended the wedding, which was wonderful publicity for the Forest Theater.

Wies, a CRA member, and Gunnar lived at Wies' house at 8th and Dolores, where much to the disgust of his wife, he watched college, never professional, football on TV. This and the Forest Theater appear to have been his only forms of recreation.

He strongly disapproved of the Hatton Canyon Freeway project. In the 1970's he opposed two huge developments at the mouth of Carmel Valley. The City Reconstruction Company of Los Angeles, backed by Prudential Life, proposed to convert the 292-acre Odello artichoke farm into a city larger in population than Carmel, with two hotel facilities of some 900 rooms, much of it on a dangerous flood plain. This project was blocked in court and the property purchased by the state. The second proposal was for a motel in the Carmel Rancho area on residentially owned property. The City of Carmel won in court on the basis of a defective EIR.

Gunnar's favorite project, first enunciated in the Pine Cone in 1971, but advocated by him for years, was his plan for a heritage or sanctuary city, similar to a bird or animal sanctuary. The state would create the third category because Carmel and its environs were so extraordinary. The sanctuary city would have explicit power to change commercial zoning to residential, to exclude big developers, to control the size and nature of businesses, to forbid highway construction and to levy property taxes based on existing use, not the traditional maximum potential use. The area would extend from the sea through the upper Carmel Valley and from Jack's Peak through the Carmel Highlands. Naturally, the project excited both extremely positive and negative comments. In 1978 it received the support of the city of Carmel. Assemblyman Henry Mello, Watsonville, went so far as to submit the plan to the legislative counsel's office for analysis. It was given a gloomy economic forecast, but praised for its idealistic goals. It was a great sadness to Gunnar that this plan did not succeed.

He died in August, 1988, at CHOMP. Those who wrote of him praised his selfless devotion to the cause of the preservation of Carmel as a natural, unspoiled village.

A win for the environment

In mid October, a three-judge panel of the State Court of Appeals reaffirmed the transfer of 130 acres of Hatton Canyon land to the State Parks Department, throwing out an appeal by a pro-freeway group who had sued the state to stop the transfer. The Hatton Canyon Coalition, Sierra Club and the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District had joined in the suit on behalf of the state.

Joyce Stevens, a long-time Hatton Canyon Coalition member, says, "This decision is the final nail in the coffin of the Hatton Canyon Freeway."

After many years of stalwart efforts to stave off a freeway, the Hatton Canyon Coalition leaders can finally take a deep breath and relax. CRA members who have been active in this group from the beginning are Joyce Stevens, Howard Brunn, Zad Leavy, Enid Sales, Susan Davis and Skip Lloyd.
