But some locals are pushing back against the size of the gathering, which would bring hundreds of cars to the Weekend brings new dance fest, firefighters BBQ village and could attract as many as 1,000 people. Organizers received approval from the Carmel Valley Recreation and Park District to use Carmel Valley Com- munity Park, pending approval of permits the county re- quires, but the county told them they can’t use the airfield for parking because the land is zoned residential, which means a special permit would be required — a process that would take too long with the event just weeks away.

Too big? The event involves displaying 300 cars at two sites in the village — 175 would be presented in Carmel Valley Community Park, while the other 125 will be seen along Pilot Road and Del Fino Road. Now in its 11th year, the all-German concours gath- ering was previously held at Pasadera.

The Carmel City Council has voted 5-0 to have the Carmel restaurants remove their outdoor dining “parklets” by September 12, 2021. 1) The Covid Delta Variant is more infectious than the other versions, and mask wearing mandates are returning to California.

2) The majority of our guests ask to be seated outside.

3)Carmel restaurants are not at 100% seating capacity inside, because guests do not want to be in close proximity to other guests. They are still demanding social distancing.

4) Many Carmel restaurants were shutdown for more than 150 days in 2020/2021which greatly hurt our employees and businesses.

5) Travel trends show that the #1 concern for travel is SAFETY.

6) Outdoor dining is a great lifeline to help Carmel restaurants survive.

7) The City of Carmel conducted an outdoor dining poll and early results according to the City, favoured keeping outdoor dining.

8) Many cities and counties in California and elsewhere in the USA have made outdoor dining permanent to help save their local restaurant community.

9) The California Restaurant Association and the State of California have introduced SB 314 to make outdoor dining permanent through July of 2024.

10) Carmel has a European village feel and our guests have commented over and over again how outdoor dining has improved their dining experience in Carmel.

If you support keeping outdoor dining in Carmel in these times of uncertainty, please email our city council and tell them we must keep outdoor dining in Carmel!

DRE # 02065719 “Big Sur Fire serves the 60-mile stretch of land along our coast,” Vasconcellos told The Pine Cone. “They are made up of 25 local community volunteers, and train year round to respond to fires along the coast and inland. They’re the first on the scene of an accident or a medical emergency, and they’re trained to harness up for cliff res- cues.”

Volunteers are key Vasconcellos said Big Sur is blessed to have “a robust community of volunteers” who are “ready to go out on emergencies” and put out fires, respond to accidents and rescue tourists. She invited everybody to attend the fami- ly-friendly muster. “Come on out and support Big Sur Fire and its unique community of local volunteers,” she added. “It’s time to celebrate.” Founded in 1974 to provide fire protection to residents and businesses, the brigade is funded almost entirely by grants, individual donations, and fundraising events like the muster and the Big Sur International Marathon. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for kids. The park is located on Highway 1 26 miles south of Carmel. Fly-fishing shop offered loopy lease, decamps to Barnyard

By CHRIS COUNTS

AFTER HIS landlord made him an offer he had to refuse, Geoffrey Malloway found himself without a lease for his longtime shop, Central Coast Fly-Fishing, which was located next to Baja Cantina in Carmel Valley. But thankfully for his longtime customers, he’s found a new home in The Barnyard — just in the nick of time. “I was close to pulling the trigger on a spot in Moss Landing before The Barnyard came along,” Malloway told The Pine Cone. “I looked everywhere from Santa Cruz to Atascadero.” Moving is a big deal for any long-established business, so why did Malloway decide not to stay at his old site in Carmel Valley? His lease expired in May. “My landlord wanted a lot of stuff,” he explained. “If I sold the business, she wanted a percentage of the sale. She also wanted have a say in who I might sell it to. The tenant would be responsible for all improvements. If the roof was repaired, we would pay for it. The lease as it was written See FISH page 22A

Ultimately, the HRB voted 3-2, with Hall and Pomeroy

Alzheimer’s walk set for October 9 PINE CONE STAFF REPORT

AFTER MORE than a year of virtual events, groups like the Alzheimer’s Association are thrilled to return to in-person fundraisers. This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s is set for Oct. 9 at Custom House Plaza in Monterey. Organizers have promised to follow all public safety guidelines in effect when the walk takes place and will also offer a virtual option for those who are not yet com- fortable participating in person. The walk raises money to help fund care, support, education and research for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. According to the association, one out of every three Americans dies from such diseases, while more than 6 million people in the United States are living with Alzhei- mer’s. Between 2000 and 2019, deaths from heart disease decreased 7.3 percent, but deaths from Alzheimer’s dis- ease rose 145 percent. Related fatalities went up another 16 percent during the pandemic. An estimated 7,000 people in Monterey County live with the disease and are assisted by more than 13,000 care- givers. The Alzheimer’s Association offers free services to all Monterey County residents.

She is also survived by her sisters Valerie Hillesheim and Linda Masten. Mary Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Ethel Mullaly and her brother Larry. Mary Ellen was born on March 14th, 1947, to Arthur and Ethel Mullaly in Neptune — a town in New Jersey and not the planet many thought she was from.

IN THE 1953 film version of H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds,” all seems lost when even mankind’s most powerful weapon, the atomic bomb, fails to so much as annoy the invading Martians. Salvation arrives when the aliens succumb not to military might, but to an army of unseen earthly microbes. “The Martians had no resistance to the bacteria in our atmosphere to which we have long since become immune,” the film’s announcer intones as the aliens die and church bells ring out. “After all that men could do had failed, the Martians were destroyed and humanity was saved by the littlest things that God, in his wisdom, had put upon this earth.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it, that civilization would be saved even as we’re all taught a lesson in humility? A lesson about our how meager our scientific accomplishments are compared to the power of nature, and how the balance of the earth’s environment and our immune systems could save us even when our best laid plans were about to let us all be slaughtered? Nature, it turns out as the credits roll, is more powerful than anything cooked up in one of our silly bomb factories. The first time we saw the film, we thought its lesson, updated as it was for the Cold War, was something everyone needed to learn, and we remem- ber reflecting on how too much reliance on technology at the expense of the environment could devastate human health and safety, instead of enhancing it.
