The author will sign copies of the book Saturday, Sept. 10, at River House Books. The event begins at 3 p.m. A controversial proposal to build a hotel on Carmel’s beach and a young woman’s journalistic aspirations — she works for The Carmel Pine Cone — lie at the heart of The Best of Home & Garden “Murder in the Pines.” Gualtieri, by the way, worked for The Pine Cone as a freelance writer during the 1990s. While the characters in Gualtieri’s book debate what’s best for Carmel, the plot thickens when two prominent citizens turn up dead. “It’s a fictional story that’s meant to be entertaining,” POTSTOP MONTEREY Gualtieri explained. “I tried to put some history in the mix POTS FROM THE WORLD and capture the flavor of Carmel.” DECK& FENCE A host of historical figures make cameos in the story, This place Guaranteed to be on time AND on Budget! including poet Robinson Jeffers, Mayor Perry Newberry, is Pot Heaven! architect Julia Morgan and artist Mary DeNeale Morgan.

Changing times

THE STORY is getting so familiar, it’s practically a fable. But like any worthwhile old saw, the tale of Monterey County’s shifting political center is rel- evant to many things and keeps popping up in new controversies. By now, you’re surely familiar with the basics: The Monterey Peninsula is wealthy, but its no-growth policies have worked so well over the last 20 years, its population has stagnated or even shrunk. Meanwhile, in the Salinas Valley, where many families are struggling with low incomes, the population has boomed. The result is that the center of political influence in Monterey County has ineluctably moved to the east. And as they’ve become more confident about their growing power, Salinas Valley elected officials and community advocates have become more and more impatient with what they see as the Peninsula’s “whin- ing” and have increased their demands that its residents quit being so self-cen- tered. The trend was on full display during a Monterey County Planning Commission hearing last week on the proposal to build 46 upscale condos on the site of the former Carmel Convalescent Hospital, which is just outside the Carmel-by-the-Sea city limits in the county’s jurisdiction. From the point of view of planning commissioners from Salinas or Soledad, this project is a low-density paradise that anyone would be proud to call home, and which they would surely love to have built in their towns. But to the people My wife and I just wanted to publicly who live in the single-family neighborhood around the 3.68-acre hospital site, acknowledge this and say, “Thank you,” to Letters the Carmel Fire Department. it’s an urban abomination that would ruin their lives.

It will cost an estimated $500,000 to $600,000 to com- plete the park’s general plan, Jones explained. The Point Lobos Foundation has agreed to contribute $250,000. Jones said the public will have an opportunity to comment on any uses of the new park in about a year, when State Parks hosts a series of hearings on the subject. “We want the public’s input,” Jones said. “We want the public to be involved.” Fuzie, the former head of the Monterey Ranger District, is now Northern Division chief of State Parks and will split his time between Monterey and Sacramento. The Monterey Ranger District encompasses all of Monterey County, as well as parts of San Benito, Stanislaus and Santa Clara counties.

Herrera “believes ... that no retail sales professional came close to reaching this level of promised sales.” In July 2009, when Herrera said she applied for a promo- tion to the operations manager position, she claims store manager Amanda Thompson denied her the job because “English was not her first language.” “Thompson informed Herrera that they were reserving the position for someone with ‘perfect English and grammar,’” according to Herrera’s suit, filed for Herrera by San Francisco attorneys Dustin Collier and Stephen R. Jaffe. However, the lawsuit also alleges that prior to applying for the promotion, Herrera received numerous commendations, positive performance evaluations and other accolades from her superiors. A month after being turned down for the promotion, Herrera claims her immediate supervisor, Sarah Knutson, began a “campaign of discrimination, harassment and retali- ation against Herrera on account of her race, ethnicity, national origin and religion,” the lawsuit alleges. Herrera alleges Knutson frequently referred to her as “brownie” and “beaner,” referring to Herrera’s Mexican her- itage. She also alleges Knutson made fun of her accent and grammar. She claims “caucasian” employees were treated differently. Besides making fun of the way she spoke, Knutson would direct customers to other sales agents to reduce her overall sales and therefore commission, Herrera claims. She also alleges Knutson gave her a variety of tasks that did not involve sales, such as setting up window displays and clean- ing duties “designed to give Herrera less time to conduct the sales ... and less opportunity to make any commission $5 OFF income.” Good for Grooming Herrera’s lawsuit said store managers denied her meal and Services only rest breaks, and sick and vacation leave.

On one occasion, she claims Knutson called her a “loser” when she told Knutson she she grew up Baptist. The manager also told her she wasn’t allowed to wear a reli- gious ring given to her by the church she attended, according to the former worker. On Feb. 25, 2010, Herrera complained to Thompson about Knutson’s alleged racists comments and behavior, and her refusal to grant Herrera breaks and time off.
