COMFORT UNDERFOOT The pad is the carpet’s support system. It makes the carpet feel richer and prevents the carpet from getting worn and matted. Prime urethane pads are generally the least expensive, but they have a ten- dency to compress after instal- lation, especially in high-traffic areas. Natural- and synthetic- fiber pads are the densest, most resilient, and the most expensive. In between these are bonded or rebonded pads, made of multicolored polyurethane foam chunks. They offer a good compromise and are the most common res- idential padding. All these types come in a variety of thicknesses and densities. Choose carefully. An extra- thick pad can promote flexing that leads to open seams and weakened backing, while an overly thin pad can cause wrinkling and premature wear. When you work with the professionals at CARPETS & FLOORS, INC., you’ll find a perfect combination of knowl- edgeable, personal service and unique, quality products when you’re creating a beauti- ful expanse of flooring.

By MARY BROWNFIELD
SOMEONE SMASHED a side window in Dawson Cole Fine Art in downtown Carmel Saturday night or Sunday morning and managed to make off with one of Richard MacDonald’s $44,000 bronze sculptures undetected. The break-in occurred sometime between 6 p.m. Oct. 23 and the morning of Oct. 24, when an employee discovered the broken glass and missing artwork, and called police. By Appointment “Nothing else was taken,” Carmel Police detective Rachelle Lightfoot said Tuesday. Police have been pursuing several leads, a few of which have turned up nothing. The closest Lightfoot has to a clue is employees’ observa- tions of two men in their early 20s who entered the gallery and seemed to be casing it earlier that day. “They were in the business for about half an hour and really didn’t seem to be interested in learning about the art or hearing about the artist,” she said. “They were just walking in circles checking the place out.” She suspects the thieves had a buyer lined up or some other reliable way to quickly unload the distinctive piece, which is called “Butterfly” and measures 21.5 inches by 8 inches by 19 inches. According to gallery assistant director CarrieAnn, the sculpture weighs almost 50 pounds. “It’s sad that people are so desperate that they resort to stealing from Someone smashed a gallery window to steal other people,” she said. “But they have to live with themselves. “Butterfly,” which retails for $44,000.

How to reform government
WE HAVE to agree with the Obama administration that local laws can’t be allowed to trump federal ones, and that if immigration, for example, is within the federal purview, neither state nor local government should interfere by cracking down on illegal immigrants or giving them sanctuary. In fact, we think the principal of “preemption” should be expanded. Over the decades we’ve seen government regulation and control expand to virtually every area of life, with multiple government agencies frequently claiming jurisdiction over the same types of activities, resulting in tremendous waste and confusion for the citizenry. Streamlining things would save a lot of the taxpayers’ money and result in much more efficient government and better decision making. Some outstanding, current examples: ■ The desal plant for the Monterey Peninsula, which is desperately needed for public health and safety, not to mention the local economy, cannot be built without permits from more than 25 different government bodies. Not only has that Gordian knot of requirements slowed down progress tremendously and dri- ven costs through the roof, it has also invariably meant that the desal plant, when it gets final approval, will probably not be the plant this community requires. Right now, we’re headed toward spending $250 million or more to build a plant that won’t provide any new water. ■ When the Pebble Beach Company wanted to build a new golf course, along with a few hotel rooms and homesites, while putting hundreds of acres of Monterey pine into protected open space, the plan was approved by voters and the county board of supervisors but rejected by the coastal commission. A lot of time and money could have been saved if a single agency had been in charge. ■ Build a greener more sustainable air- port with technology (solar). ■ Last week we reported an all-too-common occurrence: That a Big Sur Letters ■ Construct new access roads to lessen property owner was promised by one state agency he could develop an ocean- neighborhood traffic to the Editor ■ Improve air service with a $500,000 front parcel, only to be told by a different state agency that he couldn’t.

Lindé B. Martin
Lindé B. Martin [80], well known artist and citizen of the Monterey Bay area and Santa Cruz, quietly passed away on Friday, October 1, 2010. She was born into the Kuchenreuther family in Erlangen, Germany on January 2, 1930. Lindé immigrated to America on Thanksgiving Day, 1953. Her legacy as a painter and glass artist unfolded in Santa Cruz in the 1960’s and has grown to where her work can be found in art collections around the the world. Currently she has paintings showing at City Hall in her hometown of Erlangen. Lindé participated in Open Studios in Santa Cruz for many years, and has donated work locally and privately. She owned Linde Fine Art gallery in Carmel, California from 2000-2008. Lindé created beauty in everything she touched—from her gastronomical sense and taste, to her garden, and her home. As much as she was as an artist—she was a teacher of art and life. Those who have known her, who have experienced her and come to love her, know that she was the real thing —honest to the bone, opinionated, blunt, colorful, vulnerable, with the roar of a lion, and a heart of gold. She is sur- vived by her daughter, Cornelia, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin; sister, Ingeborg Keuchenreuther, of Munich, Germany; dear friend, Leroy Rockelman of Aptos, California, and more friends than most of us can imagine. We will miss her.
