Merle Colegate Murphy passed away peacefully on October 8, 2012 at the age of 91. He was born in Centralia, Washington. He had three sis- ters who predeceased him.

He is survived by two daughters, Judy (Jerry) Garner and Kathleen (Michael) Sheldon, and three grandchildren, Jared and Julia Garner and Ryan Sheldon.

Merle served in the Army in both the European and the Pacific Theaters of World War II. After an Honorable Discharge, he went back to Washington. In the early 1950's he came to Carmel, California bringing his carpenter skills with him. During that time, he was a Boy Scout Leader for a Carmel Troop. He started a business as The Village Carpenter, and in the mid- 1950's he got his General Building Contractor’s License and had a lifelong career in construction. Later in his life, he also became a licensed Real Estate Broker. Merle was known for his quality workmanship and as a hardworking man.

In the 1960's and 1970's he entered his homemade breads in the Monterey County Fair and won many awards over the years.

Anyone wishing to make any contributions in Merle’s name could con- tribute to any Veterans’ organization or a charity of their choice.

There will be a gathering of friends and family on October 28, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in Grant Hall at All Saints Episcopal Church on Dolores and 9th Avenue in Carmel.

Purpose of the Meeting: The meeting is an opportunity for the FORA Board to receive comments from the public about a Draft Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan Reassessment Report. The Reassessment Report was released in draft form on October 17, 2012. The purpose of the reassessment process is to evaluate the current status of Base Reuse Plan (BRP) implementation and identify a range of options for the FORA Board’s consideration regarding potential future modifications to the plan. The reassessment timeline anticipates that the FORA Board will accept a Final Reassessment Report in December and begin deliberations on potential policy options and modifications to the BRP in 2013. The potential policy options and modifications outlined in the Draft Reassessment Report are primarily based on information previously presented in the reassessment’s Scoping Report. The Scoping Report included a review of Base Reuse Plan implementation, an analysis of current and projected future economic conditions, and a compilation of public input received during the reassessment process to date. Kelly Davi is now in Monterey Both the Scoping Report and Draft Reassessment Report are available on the FORA website at www.fora.org.

Born in 1915 in Los Angeles, from an early age he developed an interest in painting. Stan won a scholarship to the Art Center College where he deepened his study in painting. Through James Smith, a colleague there, he met Letty Smith—Jim’s sister—to whom he was married for 51 years. He and Jim remained lifelong painting companions, as well as in-laws. Letty’s other brother, Frank, partnered with Stan in many projects designing and building homes. The Spohn and Smith families have remained close throughout the years.

Stan’s early years in the field were spent working as a scenic artist in the Disney studio, working on the first full-length animated features such as Snow White. He painted backgrounds for iconic scenes such as the dwarves’ house in Snow White, the forest in Bambi, underwater scenes in Pinocchio, and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice scene in Fantasia. After serving in the Navy during WWII, he and an ex-Disney colleague both found work at Hallmark designing greeting cards.

In 1961, Stan took an early retirement from the commercial art world, and he and Letty achieved their life’s dream of moving to Carmel. He found a lot Pine Cone and designed and built a beautiful home for his family and an impressive studio. After the first few months of camping out in the unfinished house, the family entered into the life of the community. Carmel and the surrounding area offered a rich setting for their new life and for Stan’s newfound artistic Classifieds freedom. A sample of this can be found at a retrospective exhibit of Stan’s 831.624.0162 work on display at the Carmel Mission for the past two years.

IT’S DIFFICULT to keep track of, much less understand, the avalanche of state and local ballot measures that crop up on every general election. To help you out when you go to the polls, we hereby present our recommendations.

Prop 30: No Sacramento wastes a tremendous amount of your money. While the cuts state government is going through today may be painful for some, the answer isn’t to raise taxes, and especially not the way Prop 30 would do so. The answer to state budget shortfalls is for government to be more efficient and spend more wisely.

Prop 31: Yes Since the Legislature is so dysfunctional and irresponsible, the state will benefit if the governor has more power over fiscal matters, as proposed by this proposition.

Prop 32: No Unions have way too much influence in state government, but this measure is not the way to curb it.

Prop 33: No Car insurance rates should be set according to your driving history, not whether you’ve had continuous insurance coverage.

Prop 34: Vote your conscience If you think the death penalty should be imposed on the worst criminals, vote No. If you think it shouldn’t, vote Yes.

Prop 35: Yes Under current law, penalties for human trafficking are too weak. This prop increases them. “See ... the Pine Cone has a cartoon. It’s called the Police Log.” Prop 36: No The public deserves to be protected from multiple violent offenders. Locking lightly. It goes against most people’s philos- them up is a good way to do that.
