SLOWLY BUT surely, an historic building that once served as Carmel Valley’s “downtown” is coming back to life. The Monterey County Planning Commission voted unani- mously this week to approve the restoration of Rosie’s Cracker Barrel. “It’s been part of the fabric of Carmel Valley life for many decades,” explained Janet Sergesen, Rosie’s general manager. “This renovation will give people a place for making new memo- ries.” According to Sergesen, a group called Carmel Valley Rosie’s Cracker Barrel has been a landmark since it was converted to a gen- Hospitality purchased Rosie’s in 2004 and made plans to restore eral store in the mid-1930s (above).

Only Cold Cold Fire Conny Schaflander

If there is a place where the patina of time ages something to its perfection, perhaps it is in this slim vol- ume of Conny Schaflander’s stirring poetry. While Only Cold Cold Fire lay dormant for over forty-three years since its original publication in 1963, her now grown children, recognizing the uniqueness of their mother’s work, have rekindled this slumbering work of art. This book honors the integrity of the origi- nal work, offering us a glimpse into the timelessness of an enduring talent that lives on.

About the Author Only Cold Cold Fire, written in 1963, garnered significant public attention culminating in a Pulitzer Prize nomination. The author died in 1979, leaving volumes of unpublished writings, mostly poetry. Schaflan- der lived a vibrant life rife with disappointment, sadness, betrayal, love and joy reserved for the human con- dition. However, what she did with those commonplace emotions was to spin them into a lexicon of gold, offering the reader a chance to have the light of her words, of her poetry shine on their darkest corners. Conny Schaflander remains an artist worth recalling, worth rereading, worth remembering.

Do you remember Conny Weisman? If so, then maybe, like a long lost friend, you will welcome home the renewed printing of her remark- able book of poetry, Only Cold, Cold Fire. If you have never met, then let me introduce you to a col- lection of poems that will leave an indelible mark on your soul. 1963 was the year my parents divorced, and the year I turned nine. It was also the year my mother sat in her room, wooden shutters drawn, typ- ing on an old Olivetti, what was to become this Pulitzer Prize nominated work of poetry(written under her maiden name, Schaflander). Now, mid-way into my own adult life, I have come to know and feel the encompassing message of my mother’s poetry, the eternal longing for what we have lost, the bitter-sweetness for what we have loved, and the forever sadness for what we have missed. It has been my honor to revive this beautiful vol- ume of poetry and reunite it with those who have missed it, as well as introduce it to those, who like generations past, have grown to cherish it.

‘Good enough for government work’

IT’S A slogan we’re all familiar with, but its meaning has radically changed over the years. In fact, it’s come full circle. According to Al Gore (though there is plenty of debate whether he’s right), during World War II the phrase, “good enough for government work,” meant something that met very rigorous standards. Most of us know it to mean something else: the bare minimum. In other words, “good enough for government work,” has long meant something that was barely good enough to get by. But nowadays, the meaning should be: “Whether it’s any good or not, it costs way too much.” Several stark illustrations of the government’s addiction to paying top dollar for something that may be of very little benefit to the public have recently arisen right here on the Monterey Peninsula. Two weeks ago we reported that a bicycle path just 1.1 miles long is to be constructed in Carmel Valley. The cost? About $2.1 million. Surely it could be done for about one-quarter as much. Likewise, in today’s Pine Cone we report that a consultant will be paid $200 per hour to assess Flanders Mansion to determine what work needs to be done to keep it from deteriorating. Can it be true that consultants with competence in construction and historic preservation are worth the equivalent of $416,000 per year? And then there’s the proposed restrooms for the south end of Carmel Beach, cutor. Todd has a vested interest in the Monterey County Superior Court system, which the Carmel City Council considered this week.
