approved, and another year (1994) before elections were held. And what to do with these refugees? Pacelli was handed a UN passport and a manifest, and was flown to Tanzania with his huge and heavy Beta camera and related equipment. He was shuttled to a rickety 707 and he started filming. The plane quickly filled with refugees and their meager belongings, and they were airborne for the four-hour flight to Johannesburg. Pacelli worked his way forward to the cockpit and was unsettled to see wires hang- ing from the controls. He asked the pilot if he had ever made the flight before and if he was confident they’d make it. The pilot answered that he’d made the flight but had been refused landing. But this time he had a plan. They only had enough fuel to make it to Johannesburg and could not be turned away. Winnie Mandela was the darling of the anti-apartheid movement. Brave and out- spoken, the wife of jailed ANC president Nelson Mandela found herself in a leadership position during her husband’s incarceration. She had been jailed for the cause herself, and later would serve in various positions in the transition government and the post- apartheid government. She was more of a firebrand than was Nelson, and traveled with bodyguards. This was a time before serious, criminal accusations overtook her, too. When the refugee plane arrived in Johannesburg, Pacelli – the lowly cameraman – was sent off the plane first and was handed the paperwork for the passengers. He found himself the sole representative of the UN and tasked with getting them through customs. He rolled the film. After a few battles with airport authorities, he handed in his paperwork and, continuing to film, found himself walking backward and filming, the iconic action of many news camerapeople. He kicked open a door behind him, backed through it, and tumbled over none other than Winnie Mandela, who caught him in her arms. Everyone apologized and dusted themselves off and Pacelli continued his assignment, none the worse for wear. Later, he said, he had to “file” the film in two versions – one with the natural sound track and one with his voiceover, explaining the action in the film. And it was his and Clemencia’s wedding anniversary, Dec. 12. The phone calls to Geneva and to Pacific Grove had to be routed through Kenya because of the boycott. Fast forward to October, 1999.

Pacelli was assigned by a Bay Area TV station to film the event. Camera people and reporters jostled for position, each trying to get close to her.

Christmas reprieve The Christmas season has caused a postponement to the trial of two men accused of burglarizing the home of W. L. Newlove of Pacific Grove. The set-up began when one man walked up to the door and asked for a drink of water. They were later arrested playing pool in Monterey. The men were in possession of several items from the home when captured. The hearing was set for Thursday, last, but Justice of the Peace Wallace continued the hearing until next month.

By Marge Ann Jameson

“The Camerata Singers are people with wide open hearts, who want to make the best experience they can for the listeners,” says John Koza, conductor of the Camerata Singers since 1999. And he’s doing what he loves to do. He has four part-time jobs which together make his career. All of them involve music -- teaching at Hartnell College, music director for the First Presbyterian Church of Monterey, conducting the Carmel Bach Festival Youth Chorus, and, of course, the Camerata Singers of Monterey. This is his 14th Christmas with the Camerata singers. He earned his 299 Grand Ave., PG • 831-373-7474 bachelor’s degree in vocal performance and his master’s degree in choral conducting at San Jose State University, and sang with the Camerata Sing- ers before being chosen to replace founder Vahé Aslamian as conductor in 1999. Koza’s position requires him to not only conduct the choir, but also to audition the singers and eventually the music they will perform. “We are a family,” he points out. First in importance is who they are. Secondly comes making music. the nucleus of the group has been together for “a long, long time” he says, and they gain and lose one or two singers per year. At present, a varied group including doctors, lawyers, teachers retired people, an arborist, a man in the pest control business and others comprise the 41 singers. “The group is currently the smallest it has been in my 14 years,” he said. “But it’s also the best it has been.” Choosing the music to be performed is very nearly a career in itself. Koza may hear a recording and hunt down the piece, or he may be handed a score. He’s accomplished at audiation, where an individual can read a piece of music and “hear” how it’s meant to be performed. He attends conferences where music is auditioned for attendees, who go to concerts all day long for three days. They “sight read” music there and make choic- es. Koza also subscribes to Spotify, the online music website, in order to find new music. “I just keep discovering new things,” says the conductor. “And I’m amazed at how things keep finding me!” He then will do what is called a score study with the pieces selected. He anticipates his singers’ questions and needs around the piece (such as, “Where do we breathe?”) and marks up the music before rehearsals even begin. When he organizes a program, there is a theme. This year he is bring- ing back two pieces that the group has performed before “Because they dovetailed perfectly” into the program, he said. The Camerata Singers have been rehearsing this year’s Christmas program since September. Often the performances are a capella, but this year the John Rutter “Gloria,” the centerpiece of the program, calls for brass, pipe organ, and percussion. “We’ve hired the best available,” he said. The accompanists have been rehearsing separately, and will have two rehearsals with the singers. One of the pieces is the hardest piece he has ever attempted, says Koza, because of changes in meter. “When Christmas is over, I can relax,” he says. But not for long. In January, the Camerata Futures program begins a nine-week rehearsal program. High school-aged singers rehearse weekly including a full day rehearsal in February concluding with a performance with the larger group in March. There will also be a fund-raising performance in May. Camerata Singers will perform their current program three times this weekend: Fri., Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salinas; Sat., Dec, 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carmel Mission in Carmel; and Sun., Dec. 15 at 3:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Pacific Grove. Tickets are available at Bookmark in Pacific Grove, Pilgrims Way in Carmel, Wild Bird Haven in Del Monte Center in Monterey, and Zeph’s 1-Stop on Main Street in Salinas.

Among those senior drivers involved in a collision, nearly 400 were killed and more than 22,000 suffered injuries. Further analysis of the SWITRS data indicates more than 50 percent of those senior drivers were found to be at fault in the collision. To help California’s seniors maintain their driving independence for as long as they can safely drive, the CHP offers the two-hour, “Age Well, Drive Smart,” course. The program is supported by the Keeping Everyone Safe grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Through this program, seniors can tune up their driving skills, refresh their rules of the road knowledge, and learn about normal age-related physical and mental changes and how to adjust to these changes. To find out when the next Age Well, Drive Smart course is being offered, call your local CHP office or visit us online at www.chp.ca.gov.

Another Elephant Seal Lands on Hopkins Beach

Do you hear the theme from ‘Jaws’?

Look out, all you wimpy little harbor seals! By Thom Akeman Photos by A large elephant seal climbed onto a Pacific Grove beach during the weekend and joined the hundreds of smaller harbor seals that frequent the place. The visiting elephant seal is an adult male, believed to be about 5 years old and weighing an Kim Worrell estimated 1,600 pounds or more. He came in about 10 a.m. Saturday while Kim Worrell, a docent with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s Bay Net program, was standing along- side The Coastal Trail at Hopkins Marine Station photographing the variety of wildlife visible from there. The big guy shimmied to the top of the beach and slept there peacefully for the next few days. This is believed to be the 6th bull elephant seal that has appeared on Hop- kins beach since February 2010, when the first one in known history showed up. Smaller ones have been appearing sporadically since December 2004, usually in winter and spring months, possibly because the population has been growing. They are presumably visitors from the nearest large colonies – approximately 100 miles south at Piedras Blancas near San Simeon, where as many as 16,000 elephant seals gather in December and January, or 60 miles north at An︠︠ o Nuevo State Park above Santa Cruz, where about 5,000 gather. The large bulls are aggressive and can be mean towards the harbor seals that normally use the Hopkins beach, docile animals that may weigh 200-250 pounds. $100 rebate* The first bull here in 2010 killed at least one harbor seal in a move to assert mas- with any of the following purchases: tery on the Hopkins beach.
