This was not a difficult choice. I'm delighted with my life at Carmel Valley Manor. The location is superb; I've loved the Valley since the first time I saw it. My apartment and patio are just right. It felt wonderful to let go of excess furnishings and decorative objects. Community life offers many enjoyable options. I frequently visit friends in the Manor's wonderful care centers and it's good to know those are available should I ever need them. My advice? Plan ahead; don't wait too long to get on the waiting list.

THEIR EFFORTS have been valiant, but the coalition of water experts, busi- ness people, government officials and environmentalists who are working on a regional water supply for the Monterey Peninsula and other water-deprived parts of the county know they are far from the finish line. The year-old group, with the awkward name, Monterey Regional Plenary Oversight Group, or REPOG, has made lots of progress on technical issues. A desal plant in Marina instead of Moss Landing would process brackish water instead of seawater — using less energy, producing less toxic brine, not killing sea life in its intakes, slowing seawater intrusion and adding no longevity to the once-through cooling system at the power plant. Also, methane gas from the Marina landfill could be converted into clean energy to operate the desal plant. And wastewater from the Marina sewage treatment plant could become part of the desal plant’s source water. It’s a pretty impressive wish list that makes the REPOG plan much more appealing than Cal Am’s Coastal Water Project. And the REPOG plan has made plenty of political progress as well. City councils that have heard about it seem favorably impressed. So does an assort- ment of other civic leaders, including elected officials and candidates for polit- ical office. The California Public Utilities Commission has been presented with some of the details. And, more importantly, key CPUC staff members have been closely monitoring REPOG’s process. This week, they said the REPOG plan would be analyzed as an alternative in the environmental impact report being prepared for Cal Am’s desal proposal. In the end, the CPUC could well decide that REPOG’s ideas are the environmentally superior alternative, which would add a lot of impetus to getting the whole package approved. “Every time they go for a ride he wants to invade Poland.” But, as the CPUC staff members admitted, the commission they work for doesn’t have the power to issue permits for the myriad components of what REPOG has in mind. Those will have to come from the same two dozen or so My father died of a heart attack in 1979 following his rescue of a little girl who had agencies that have permit authority over Cal Am’s proposal.

Mavis Sylvia Power May 23, 1924 - April 21, 2008 Passed away Monday morning April 21 surrounded by her loving family at her daughter’s home in Carmel Valley. Mavis is survived by her devoted children Christine & Davis Factor and Robert & Pam Power; Grandchildren Patrick O’Rourke, Tara Hahl, Adam, Shawn, Ryan & Christopher Power; Great Grandchildren Cody & Sara Hahl; sis- ter Margaret and nieces Rebecca, Melissa & Sarah Fernandez. Born in Sydney, Australia, Mavis was one of 60 war brides together with the Australian Prime Minister that sailed into San Francisco harbor in April 1944. Being greeted by the Golden Gate Bridge, stunned by the “short skirts” and allowed to have more than one egg a week on rationing, she quickly fell in love with America. Mavis’s nurturing ways, quick wit, green thumb, and her generosity towards all with whom she came in contact was truly the epitome of a good friend, guide, Mother... a gift to us all. A private memorial will be held on Mother’s Day for family members only. 32 A The Carmel Pine Cone May 2, 2008
