The kids won one of two Judge’s Favorites awards, the Best Kid’s Castle, and the “Sour Grapes” award, which is second place in the overall competition. CHS grad sets record with marathon swim

CARMEL HIGH gradu- ate Tina Neill last week became the first person to swim from San Clemente Island to the Southern California mainland. According to her aunt, Alexandra James of Carmel Valley, the 46-year-old Neill completed her swim in 28 hours and 41 minutes. “I can’t even stay awake that long,” James said. “We are so excited for her.” James said Neill arrived in Palos Verde Harbor before sunrise Sept. 6. “She arrived with her crew while it was still dark,” she explained. “They were greeted by the harbor patrol, who were wondering what she was up to.” This was Neill’s third attempt to make the crossing from San Clemente Island to the mainland. In addition to her suc- cessful crossing of the San Clemente Channel, Neill holds world records for the fastest backstroke crossing of the Catalina Channel (10 hours and 37 minutes in 2008), and the fastest back- stroke crossing of the English Channel (13 hours and 22 minutes in 2005). Now a resident of Laguna Beach, Neill started swim- ming when she was just seven. She attended Tularcitos, Carmel Middle and Carmel High schools, and served as co-captain of the swim team at CHS. She won All-American honors as a swimmer at the University of California at Davis. The swimmer is the daughter of former city engineer Clayton Neill, who passed away in 2009, and Katie Neill, who lives in Carmel Valley.

He was a master jeweler in Rome, and made pieces for important people, which includes such people as President Fanfani and his family and also realized jewelry for the wedding of Margaret Truman. In 1975, when he first encountered the natural beauty of Carmel, it inspired him to make jewelry in forms such as flowers and insects, in addition to his classical European traditional pieces. He taught many young people, and founded the San Eligio Association, whose members continued to love and appreciate him, coming from all over America to visit him.

He lived for his work, and in 1980, he opened a shop and laboratory on San Carlos Street in Carmel with his devoted wife, Marcella, who survives him.

No on Prop 36

ONE OF the most frustrating phenomena in California politics is the con- stant thwarting of the public’s will by tiny special interest groups. And nowhere is this more apparent than in the people’s constant attempts to impose strict pun- ishments on the worst criminals, only to have groups like the ACLU and left- wing judges undermine those efforts. The most egregious example is the death penalty, which the people want imposed on the worst murderers and which would be much more effective as a deterrent (and save many more lives) if it were imposed within a few years of the crimes, but is constantly being delayed, overturned and halted because of bizarre objections, such as the silly idea that a murderer has a constitutional right to a pain-free death when he is executed. Another terrible example of the people’s will being thwarted is the regular introduction of laws and ballot measures to water down the effect of the state’s Three Strikes law, which enjoys vast public support and has undoubtedly reduced crime, but which is seen as cruel by people who, for inexplicable rea- sons, are more concerned about the rights of convicted criminals than of crime victims. The original Three Strikes ballot initiative was passed, of course, with tremendous public support, and a ballot measure to reduce its effectiveness was “No, she got the Porsche. I got the cap.” soundly defeated by voters in 2004. Nevertheless, this year we once again have Prop 36, which would not only what has happened in the last 10 years. make things easier for criminals in the future, it would let lots of people off the While carpenters, plumbers, retail clerks, Letters truck drivers and most working people have hook for the life sentences they’re already serving.
