A bulky ballot The phone calls and other public awareness efforts, including a discussion set for Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Cypress Inn, aim to educate voters not just about the tax and its benefits, but to point out the fact they should bother to find it buried among the propositions and other measures on the bulky ballot. “The overwhelming majority of the voters we’ve talked to are in support of Measure D,” Burnett said.

“The hours when the mind is Sandy Claws By Lisa Crawford Watson absorbed by beauty are the only hours we live.” Fashion-forward Fendi SHE WANTED a Westie and planned to name it Prada, as a nod to her fascination with the fashion industry and devotion to designer duds, but she fell in love with an 8-ounce Yorkshire terrier and decided she needed a more delicate name. Three years later, the name Fendi still fits the tiny terrier. Although this is one dog who refuses to be paraded around in a purse, she does ride in a canine buggy that’s fit for a queen. Fendi’s family thought about getting two terriers until they learned two would probably bond with each other instead of them, which wasn’t the point.

By KELLY NIX

THE LANDSCAPER who was charged with performing illegal work after he was caught during a sting operation in August pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges last week. Secundino Munoz, 52, owner of Munoz Landscaping, was charged with a felony for fraudulent use of a contractor’s license, one misdemeanor count of failing to secure workers’ compensation insurance and a second misdemeanor of contracting without a license. He is set to be sentenced Nov. 27. On Oct. 9, Munoz pleaded guilty to the charges in a Salinas courtroom. Fraudulent use of a contractor’s license has a penalty of up to three years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Contracting without a license has a penalty of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000. Munoz was arrested after a July 9 incident when Contractors State License Board investigator David Leary, following up on phone tips, went to a Carmel home and found Munoz and three of his employees using unsecured ladders placed on the roof of a house. When Leary found out Munoz was not a licensed contractor yet advertised he was, he issued Munoz a notice to appear in a Salinas courtroom on a felony charge of “fraudulent use of an incorrect license number.” Munoz, according to the CSLB, had placed a phony license number on his business card. Leary also found Munoz did not have workers’ compensation insurance for his employees. He faces up to one year in jail and fines for the crime. When Munoz didn’t appear in court July 27 to face the criminal charges, a $75,000 warrant was issued for his arrest. To capture him, the CSLB and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office set up a sting. They called Munoz and requested he bid on a job. When the landscaper showed up, he was arrested by Marina police and housed in Monterey County Jail. The Carmel homeowner said Munoz told her that he was licensed and insured and that “his prices were higher due to all the safety equipment needed for the job,” according to district attorney’s office. From 2006 to 2008, Munoz tried to get licensed to do tree work but failed every exam, according to the CSLB. State law requires a contractor’s license for all home- improvement contracts with a combined cost of more than $500 for labor and materials. 4A The Carmel Pine Cone October 19, 2012

By MARY SCHLEY

AFTER DEBATING where a remnant of the World Trade Center should be placed in Devendorf Park — and finally settling on a spot different than that favored by the citizens group donating the memorial — the Carmel City Council formally voted Oct. 2 to accept the gift that will honor those lost in the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks. Graniterock is providing the boulder that will hold the memorial and the labor to install it in the park, and resident CarrieAnn (her full name), who procured the laptop-sized piece of steel from the New York City fire commissioner, is giving it to the city. Following a Sept. 11 ceremony at Devendorf Park, the steel was moved to the library’s Park Branch, where it will remain accessible to the public until it is placed in the park next year. According to the proposal approved by the planning commission, the piece will be mounted on the rock so that it floats a couple of inches above the surface, and the stone will be engraved with the date of the attacks. In addition, the back of the steel will be etched with information about its origin and significance, lest it ever come detached from the base. “The proposed base consists of a tan-colored boulder that is approximately 32 inches tall,” associate planner Marc Wiener said in his report for the council. “The intent is that the steel can be touched and interacted with.” CarrieAnn argued for a location near the fish pond, sepa- rate from the park’s three war memorials and accommodating of large groups that might attend Sept. 11 ceremonies. Keith Severson, marketing services manager for Graniterock, said his company is “pleased to continue the long tradition of community support and involvement by partnering with Carmel-by-the-Sea for its 9/11 memorial.” “The spirit of the memorial is mighty, and the cause is good,” he continued. “The creation of a lasting memory in a very public place that embraces the natural beauty of the surrounds that will stand the test of time is a worthy endeavor.” CarrieAnn further assured the council, “You do have a big community behind this memorial. We have all been impact- ed by this, and we are all here to support you.”

A SERIES of state-level meetings that will allow the public to weigh in on California American Water’s proposed $370 million water project for the Peninsula will be held next week, including one in Carmel Valley. The meetings — two in Seaside Oct. 25 and one at Rancho Cañada Golf Club on Oct. 24 — will give Peninsula residents the chance to tell the California Public Utilities Commission what issues should be addressed in the latest environmental document for the project. “The scoping sessions provide an opportunity for the public to let the California Public Utilities Commission environmental review team know what issues and alternatives they Karl Anderson, DVM believe should be addressed in the EIR,” Cal Am spokes- U.C.

Set to begin this fall, the project can’t get started until Monterey County issues a permit. Most of the actual dis- mantling of the dam will occur between from 2013-15. The planning commission postponed taking action on the project at its Sept. 12 meeting, and will consider again at its Oct. 31 meeting. City sandpile for residents only

IN ANTICIPATION of the rainy season, the city’s public works department this week supplied its annual sandpile, along with sand bags, behind the Carmel Youth Center at Torres and Fourth. During heavy rains, storm water often runs down the town’s steep roads and driveways into below- grade garages and across yards, so sand bags are an effective and inexpensive means of preventing such residential flood- ing. “This pile is for emergencies and for the use of city residents only,” cautioned city public works superintendent Stu Ross. “Contractors not allowed.”

COME ELECTION Day, you’ll have the chance to make a difference in your community by voting on a host of important state and local races and ballot measures. But one thing that won’t be worth much is your vote for president: California is going for Barack Obama, no matter what you do. It may feel rewarding to vote for such an important office, but for residents of one-sided states such as New York and California, with their huge populations of devoted Democratic voters, Election Day is a foregone conclusion. Whether you support Obama or Mitt Romney, if you want to make a difference in the outcome for president, you’ll have to move to Nevada, Ohio or Florida. Hard as it may be to imagine now, California was once a solidly Republican state. From 1952 to 1988, the state went for every Republican candidate for president except Barry Goldwater, who lost in a landslide to Lyndon Johnson in 1964. In 1976, California’s voters even preferred Gerald Ford to Jimmy Carter! However, since 1992, the state has not failed to cast its entire slate of electoral ballots for the Democrat at the top of the ticket, and four years ago, Barack Obama carried the state by an almost 2-to-1 margin over John McCain. This year, Obama’s lead over Mitt Romney is only a little smaller. And, thanks to the huge increase in California’s Hispanic population, the Democratic trend shows no sign of reversing or even slowing down. Likewise the statewide offices Monterey Peninsula residents will be voting on in two weeks. All the Democrats on the ballot — Dianne Feinstein for U.S. Senate, Sam Farr for Congress, Bill Monning for the State Senate and Mark Stone for State Assembly — are shoo-ins. None of the Republicans has the slightest chance. “Whaddaya mean, Carmel has no nightlife? Carmel has lots of nightlife. Why bother to vote, then? We’ve got cats, rats, raccoons ....” For one thing, there are some interesting ballot measures which have hardcore Democratic Party support but which are by no means sure to pass. ty, the public library, the performing arts, Foremost among these is Prop 30, Gov.
