The remains of Seaside resident Sandra McGee (far left) were discovered buried in the backyard of a home on Third Street in Monterey last week — 32 years after a man was convicted of the 1983 killing of Pebble Beach resident Suzanne Nixon (left) and hiding her body in a toolshed at the same home. McGee disappeared in 1982, and her where- abouts were a mystery until a landscaper accidentally found her Sept. 2. FBI investigators (below) searched the yard after the discovery.

Because Massy Mehdipour’s house on Signal Hill in Pebble Beach was falling into the dunes (left), she had a contractor shore it up with cribbing (above). While she wants to tear it down to build a new house, people in the neighborhood say she shouldn’t be allowed to.

Seriously? Must colored pencils now be politically correct? But I digress.

You won’t get in trouble There are some advantages to adulthood when it comes to coloring. First, no one’s going to report my color choices to my mom, as my first-grade teacher did when I insisted upon making the grass purple. Second, instead of grape Hi-C and potato chips, I enjoyed a nice Chardonnay, crackers and cheese. The “flow” aspect of coloring, however, was still delight- fully the same. As I rubbed the pencil back and forth across the pages, I felt myself relax and found myself smiling as the final pictures took shape. The Chardonnay may have helped. It really was diverting, and just in case anyone wants to try to approximate the original artists’ renderings, colored plates of them filled the inside front and back covers. What I didn’t expect, however, was to end up in a sort of conversation with the artists.

Most of the reels were 16 mm, but there was also one 35 mm reel and an 8 mm, “which was way too small to check out.” In some, he could see a fire officer. “It looked like a lot of training-type films,” he said. “It will be interesting to see what comes out of them.” Also included were old Disney films intended to teach kids about fire safety, he said — though none included Wile E.

After the war, Robert – later affectionately known as Bob, El Bobbo and Buzz – returned to Chicago, met the love of his life, Mary, studied finance at Northwestern University, maintained honors and earned his CPA designation.

A career in corporate finance led to senior level executive positions at American Ex- press in NYC, Ampex and Fairchild in the Bay Area, and Howmet Corp. in Greenwich, CT. During his tenure as an executive, Bob was proud of the fact that he couldn't keep a secretary, losing all to his sage advice that each pursue additional education in order to build stable careers in management – which he helped them all achieve. He mentored many, gave and shared freely, volunteered often and always had a gracious interest in everyone he met. He was a student of the world and derived great joy in greeting and conversing with people in a multitude of languages.

MUSIC Take a Test Drive Today From page 19A “The Perfect Carmel Car” n Guitar wizard visits P.G. After earning a reputation as a hub for Celtic music, St. Mary’s By-the-Sea in Pacific Grove embraces another musical genre when it hosts a concert Sunday, Sept. 13, by four- time Grammy Award-winning bluegrass guitarist David Grier. Considered one of the best finger-picking guitarists on earth, Grier has three times been named Guitar Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association. His roots in bluegrass run deep — his father, Lamar Grier, once played banjo with Bill Monroe, who is widely considered the genre’s most influential musician. Jackie Pierce of St. Mary’s, who helped organize the concert, saw Grier perform last year at a house concert in Salinas. FIAT® 500 Cabrio “He’s just a mind-blowing guitar player,” Pierce said. “He’s the real deal.” The music starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $8 for kids 12 and under.

The concert starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15. The Cherry Center is located at Guadalupe and Fourth.

How to guarantee success

CAL AM is a private company which, although strictly regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, tries its best to make money. Normally, a profit- making company can be expected to provide better goods and services at lower costs than a government agency could ever hope to do. In Cal Am’s case, the results are sometimes mixed. But why? The answer is that regulated utilities operate in a “neither fish nor fowl” status that’s neither private company nor government agency — which also means that, while a regulated utility can offer some of the efficiencies of the free market, it’s also burdened with a heavy helping of the slow decision making, arbi- trariness, wastefulness and political patronage that are so typical of government bureaucracies. The company’s hybrid status explains a lot about why Cal Am is the target of so much animosity among activists. For the last 10 years at least, it’s hardly been possible to open the Monterey County Herald without seeing a letter to the editor or “guest commentary” from somebody comparing Cal Am to Satan. Sure, there’s been plenty about Cal Am to complain about. But whose fault, really, are those problems? Example No. 1: High bills You may recall that, not too long ago, the local media was in a tizzy over the huge water bills some Cal Am customers were getting. Some of these high bills were caused by faulty meters, which Cal Am quickly fixed, even as they correct- ed the erroneous billings. Other were caused by leaks — anything, from a running toilet, to a broken sprinkler valve somewhere in the yard — which home- owners didn’t notice until the high bills showed up. As the water flowed, the meters ticked on, resulting in bills as high as $10,000 or even $20,000 for a single month. But those ridiculous sums were not really the result of the wasted water. They were caused by the various agencies that decided high water usage I was once a stringer for the NPR station should be heavily penalized to prevent waste.

A solar energy system that conforms to all applicable state fire, structural, electrical, and other building codes as adopted or amended by the City and paragraph (iii) of subdivision (c) of Section 714 of the Civil Code, as such section or subdivision may be amended, renumbered, or redesignated from time to time. 3. A solar energy system that is installed on a single or duplex family dwelling. 4. A solar panel or module array that does not exceed the maximum legal building height as defined by the authority having jurisdiction. “Solar energy system” has the same meaning set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 801.5 of the Civil Code, as such section or subdivision may be amended, renumbered, or redesignated from time to time. B. Section 65850.5 of the California Government Code provides that, on or before September 30, 2015, every city, county, or city and county shall adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited, streamlined permitting process for small residential rooftop solar energy systems. C. Section 65850.5 of the California Government Code provides that in developing an expedited permitting process, the city, county, or city and county shall adopt a checklist of all requirements with which small rooftop solar energy systems shall comply to be eligible for expedited review. The building official is hereby authorized and directed to develop and adopt such checklist. (Note: Your City may adopt an ordinance that modifies the checklists and standards found in the California Solar Permitting Guidebook due to unique climactic, geological, seismological, or topographical conditions) D. The checklist shall be published on the city’s internet website. The applicant may submit the permit application and associated documentation to the City’s building division by personal, mailed, or electronic submittal together with any required permit processing and inspection fees. In the case of electronic submittal, the electronic signature of the applicant on all forms, applications and other documentation may be used in lieu of a wet signature. (OR if the City will not accept electronic signature, the reasons for the inability to accept electronic signatures must be described) E. Prior to submitting an application, the applicant shall: 1. Verify to the applicant’s reasonable satisfaction through the use of standard engineering evaluation techniques that the support structure for the small residential rooftop solar energy system is stable and adequate to transfer all wind, seismic, and dead and live loads associated with the system to the building foundation; and 2. At the applicant’s cost, verify to the applicant’s reasonable satisfaction using standard electrical inspection techniques that the existing electrical system including existing line, load, ground and bonding wiring as well as main panel and subpanel sizes are adequately sized, based on the existing electrical system’s current use, to carry all new photovoltaic electrical loads. F. For a small residential rooftop solar energy system eligible for expedited review, only one inspection shall be required, which shall be done in a timely manner and may include a consolidated inspection by the building official and fire chief. (Note: A separate fire inspection may be performed if your City does not have an agreement in place with your local fire authority to conduct a fire safety inspection on behalf of the fire authority). If a small residential rooftop solar energy system fails inspection, a subsequent inspection is authorized; however the subsequent inspection need not conform to the requirements of this subsection. G. An application that satisfies the information requirements in the checklist, as determined by the building official, shall be deemed complete. Upon receipt of an incomplete application, the building official shall issue a written correction notice detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information required to be eligible for expedited permit issuance. H. Upon confirmation by the building official of the application and supporting documentation being complete and meeting the requirements of the checklist, the building official shall administra- tively approve the application and issue all required permits or authorizations. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to connect the small residential rooftop energy system to the local utility provider’s electricity grid. The applicant is responsible for obtaining such approval or permission from the local utility provider. SECTION 2. Severability. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, phrase or clause thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be declared unconstitutional. SECTION 3. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after adoption.

New on the Market in Carmel-by-the-Sea | Open this Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm Though some of the damage is due to neglect, Mehdipour reported in February to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office that the home had also been severely vandalized inside. According to 5th District County Supervisor Dave Potter, who viewed photos of the damage, structural members had been cut in half and load-bearing beams had been drilled through. Kadivar also said copper flashing was removed from the roof, along with appliances, pipes, furniture, a Persian rug and other items. While attorney Tony Lombardo and others have said they believe the vandalism was intentionally caused by the homeowner in hopes the house could be torn down, Kadivar last week said he believes the vandalism is “tied to the opposition” to make his mother “look bad.” Kadivar this week clarified a comment he made to The Pine Cone last week about Potter, in which he said, “Somebody should look into Dave Potter’s connection to the SW Monte Verde & 13th Street, Carmel-by-the-Sea opposition.” On Tuesday, Kadivar said, “I believe there has 3 beds, 2 baths | 60x100 Lot | $3,495,000 | www.SWMonteVerde13th.com been a lot of misinformation provided to [Potter] by the opposition.” Regardless of the damage, Karen Lesney with Monterey Greg Kraft | 831.521.0009 Bay Modernism, who attended last week’s hearing in which [email protected] CalBRE#: 00618994 the county’s historic resources review board approved a mothballing plan for Mehdipour’s house that would essen- tially keep it from being further damaged, told The Pine Cone this week that Mehdipour was “irresponsible” for letting the home get to its current state.
