A STATE water board expert testified Wednesday that the Monterey Peninsula could survive with 50 percent less water than it uses now. But local mayors say such severe rationing would have all sorts of dire con- sequences — including killing tourism. The cutback testimony was made by Mark Stretars, senior water con- trol engineer for the State Water Resources Control Board, who conclud- ed Peninsula residents could live on a “reasonable allowance” of 75 gal- lons of water per day, an amount he said would not jeopardize the pub- lic’s “health and safety.” Stretars, responding to cross examination by Cal Am’s attorney and others, also testified that water cutbacks on the Peninsula could go on indefinitely. Stretars’ comments drew sharp criticism from Peninsula officials

Planners compiled the list from voter registration records, Household Size 1234 5 and information provided by property and business owners. They combed through the list to remove duplicates and ended Maximum Annual up with the names. Some shared common addresses, since Gross Income $36,300 $41,500 $46,650 $51,850 $56,000 multiple registered voters often live in the same home. “When we did a sort on the spreadsheet to put the names Do you qualify?

Several people have not received any addressed to them — only sur- veys with other names addressed to their box.” Conroy said the best option is a new mailing, and the city intends to notify recipients to discard their original surveys and fill out the new ones, which will probably be color coded to distinguish them from the first set. He said the city is con- sidering hiring a consultant to oversee the distribution, which will still be based on the city’s list. HealthyHappenings “We’ve got the right list,” he said. “We just won’t sort it.” He estimated the lost time, as well as the printing and mailing costs, amounted to about $10,000.

July 25, 2008 The Carmel Pine Cone 27A Sandy Claws By Margot Petit Nichols

SARA MEGAN, 17 years, 4 months, is a long time Carmel Pine Cone reader. She started following the Sandy Claws column when Great selection of she was featured in it some ten years ago when she was a young- Mission Oak furniture ster of 7. Constant readers might remember how dark her coat was then. It has since turned a distinguished gray and white.

Although she is now deaf and almost blind, Sara knows all the Mon through Fri 10am-5:30pm • Sat 10am-6pm • Sun 10am-5pm scents along her walks with Mom. They both work at the reception desk of Lobos Lodge on Ocean Avenue. Due to Sara’s semi-retired status, she is on a less demanding schedule than her coworkers, Sophie, a Jack Russell terrier mix, and Samantha, a calico cat — both companions of Lodge owner Sharon Clark. After work, Sara and Mom walk to the post office to pick up their mail, to Surf and Sand to rent a video for the evening and to Nielsen Brothers Market for dinner fixings. Sara always receives a treat at Nielsen’s. Three times a week Sara and Mom walk down to the beach to enjoy the tangy sea air and refreshing breezes. Last Sunday they mingled with the dozens and dozens of dachshunds who gathered to enjoy the Dachshund Club of Carmel’s annual wienie roast. Sara wore her pink silk bow for the occasion.

Should it preserved if it wouldn’t be approved?

THERE WAS a telling moment at the planning commission week before last. Under discussion was the former bank building at Dolores and Seventh, which the owner wants to demolish and replace with condos, apartments and retail stores. The building, now occupied by Homescapes Carmel, was designed by Walter Burde in an ultramodern style and dates to 1972. Even under California’s ridicu- lously lax standards, that isn’t quite old enough for the building to be deemed historic. Yet the building has its ardent admirers — most notably, a group of local architects who’ve demanded it be preserved as “architecturally significant.” During the discussion of whether the owner should be forbidden to tear it down, one planning commissioner sided with those in town who hate the former bank building and would like to see it disappear. “I’ve always had the opinion this building should be demolished,” said Alan Hewer. “I’ve always thought it was huge, unattractive and not belonging in this area.” But chairman Bill Strid decided the expertise of the preservationist-architects was enough to override the amateur opinions of the commissioners themselves. He argued it should be preserved. “But would you vote to approve it if were proposed today?” Hewer asked. “Probably not,” Strid answered. Huh? “It’s a steal at a million-six and you’re only three feet from your neighbor.” The owner of the property could be forgiven for thinking he’d gone through the looking-glass and was in an backwards world, where otherwise intelligent the meeting and formally at the meeting for government officials would consider requiring preservation of something they this to be given.
