First place in female marathoners was Magdalena Boulet, 42, of Oakland Second was Tyler Stewart, 38, or Tiburon and third was Elizabeth Pittaway of Lane Cove, age 31.

Olympian Blake Russell of Pacific Grove won the (female) gender place in the 5K division, finishing first of 466 female runners, and first of 34 in her age bracket (40-44). A little more than a minute behind her and placing second in the gender place was Heather McWhirter, also of Pacific Grove. Heather, at 38, was first in her age bracket.

Walk of Remembrance: Celebrating Local Steelhead numbers on the rise Pacific Grove’s Chinese Village and Pioneering Fishing Community The 2016 Walk of Remembrance, Preliminary Numbers commemorating the Chinese Fishing Vilwhich once stood at the border with Show More Than 300 Fish lage Monterey will take place Saturday, May 14, 2016 from 1:00-3:00 p.m.

With winter rains swelling the Carmel River, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) announced this week that more than 300 steelhead trout have entered the river to spawn. After four years of drought with very low steelhead counts in the last two years, including the 2014 winter when the river did not reach the sea and no fish were able to make it in from the ocean, the annual Carmel River steelhead run appears to be rebounding far better than expected.

“This is great news,” commented Kevan Urquhart, Senior Fisheries Biologist for the MPWMD. “The Water Management District has been working diligently to improve the habitat for these endangered fish over the years, but thanks to an assist from Mother Nature, the 2016 fish run is the best we have seen in a while” Since the lagoon opened in early January 2016, data provided by a hydroacoustic camera placed in the lower river suggests that more than 300 adult steelhead entered the river through March 31, 2016. The data set has not

ductions at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and include light refreshments.

The Monterey Bay Lion Dance Team will lead the walk to Lovers Point, then along the bike trail, to the site where the village once stood.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the half-mile trek. With the shared goal of honoring the lives of early Chinese-American settlers, the Walk of Remembrance is made possible by a partnership between The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, The City of Pacific Grove, The Heritage Society of Pacific Grove, The Monterey Bay Lion Dance Team, The National Coalition Building Institute – Monterey Chapter, and The American Civil Liberties Union – Monterey Chapter.

Be sure to visit the Chinese Fishing Village exhibit, which tells the story of the residents of the Point Alones Chinese Fishing Village, the next time you visit the Museum. http://www.pgmuseum.org/museum-events/2016/5/14/walk-of-remem-

Carmel Mission Foundation Makes $2,000,000 Grant for Quadrangle Restoration

Joan Skillman

Skillshots

The Carmel Mission Foundation has announced it is making a $2,000,000 grant to restore the Carmel Mission’s Quadrangle Courtyard. This large courtyard in the center of the Mission is the venue for many important parish and community events. Work has now begun and plans are to have it completed by early August.

The old concrete surface, cracked with many trip hazards, will be removed. New subterranean utility infrastructure will be installed to support future Mission restoration work. The quadrangle will then be resurfaced with a stronger, safer, and similar looking hardscape designed to last for the next 75-100 years. The work is being performed by the same preservation team and general contractor, Blach Construction, which performed the successful and award-winning Basilica restoration.

The quadrangle restoration marks the beginning of Phase II of the Mission’s restoration, which is a comprehensive, multi-year project to seismically strengthen and restore the Mission’s 11 remaining historic structures and courtyards, including five museums, California’s first library, and the Orchard House, California’s oldest adobe residence.

The total estimated cost for Phase II is $20 million. The comprehensive planning for this Phase has been underway for the past two years, funded by the Foundation.

The Foundation is now in the process of raising the $12 million needed for the next planned segment of Phase II. It will include the Harry Downie Museum, Mora Chapel Museum, Convento Museum, Museum Store, Blessed Sacrament Chapel, and Basilica Forecourt.

“Following years of deferred maintenance, this latest $2,000,000 grant is another major step in the exciting rebirth of the Mission in the 21st century,” said Foundation President and CEO, Vic Grabrian. “Because of the overwhelming generosity of our donors, the Foundation has been able to make $7,500,000 in preservation grants to the Mission to date. We are counting on those who care about preserving this historic treasure for future generations to help us to complete this rewarding work.”

About the Carmel Mission Foundation The Carmel Mission Foundation was founded in 2008 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity corporation. The Foundation is totally independent from any religious organization and contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Muriel Goodfield, widely known Monterey/Carmel artist, brings an exhibit of her recent paintings for exhibit at the Carmel Foundation, Lincoln St., Carmel, for the month of May. Muriel has an active history in the arts all her life, beginning drawing as a young child, then branching into water color, then oils in college.

In the last few years she has been creating paintings with pastels, because of the control of the medium and her love for it. Muriel is moved to often paint en plein air.

Hartnell Community Choir 2016 Spring Concert to be held in Carmel

The Hartnell Community Choir will be holding their spring concert at 3:00 pm Sunday, May 15 at the Church of the Wayfarer, Lincoln and 7th, Carmel.

The choir is conducted by Robin McKee Williams. Originally affiliated with Hartnell Community College and now an independent organization, they have performed at Avery Fisher Hall, Carnegie Hall, Steinbeck Center, Hartnell College and local churches. Building upon the solid backbone of the small but dedicated choir, McKee Williams adds in soloists and musicians to fulfill her goal of enriching the community with beautiful music, while showcasing local talent and other world-class musicians she has met through her participation in the Distinguished Concerts International New York mentoring program for conducting.

The choral pieces for the May 15 concert were selected for their sheer beauty and include exquisite compositions by Allegri, Brahms, and Poulenc. The program begins with Brahms’ “Es tönt ein voller Harfenklang,” one of the few classical pieces written for harp and French horn.

The choir will also perform Brahms’ “Gesang Der Parzen” (“Song of the Fates”), one of his less frequently performed opuses, but featuring the sweeping melodies and striking harmonies that are hallmarks

of a Brahms choral arrangement. Adding a hint of mystery to the program is Allegri’s “Miserere,” a haunting a cappella arrangement that was originally forbidden to be written down. In closing, the choir will perform Poulenc’s Stabat Mater. Written in response to the early death of a friend, Poulenc’s ode to suffering is a stunningly poignant musical tribute that ultimately uplifts and inspires the listener.

The choir will be accompanied by Monterey Strings, led by popular violinist and conductor David Dally. Harpist Pamela Scholz and French horn player Ruth Jordan will also be featured musicians. Cora Franz, a recent UC-Santa Cruz music program graduate who brought the audience to tears with her moving performance at the well-received winter concert, will be the soprano soloist for the Allegri.

Tony Burdette, the founding Artistic Director and Conductor of Voices of the Commonwealth, will be the tenor soloist for the Allegri. Burdette recently made his debut at Carnegie Hall. Joy Burdette, a voice instructor at Northern Kentucky University, will be the soprano soloist for the Poulenc. Lastly, Toni Sheffer, founder/ director of the Northern Kentucky School of Music of lmmanuel United Methodist Church, will be the pianist.

There is a suggested donation of $20.

Chesebro Winery: Just the thing for a foggy day Jim Moser

Wine Wanderings A foggy Saturday in Pacific Grove sent me inland in search of sunshine and wine. As I approached the picturesque village of Carmel Valley, I spied a number of tasting rooms clustered along the right side. Choosing a tasting room can be a daunting task when faced with so many choices, but the goal of Wine Wanderings is to discover hidden treasures along with the well-known wineries.

Walking into the Chesebro tasting room is reminiscent of the early days of area wineries. Sparsely decorated, the focus is on providing you with the opportunity to taste small production wines made with heart. Ross was the guide for my adventure. Most of the wines on the menu were from Arroyo Seco, an area that does not earn the attention of the Santa Lucia Highlands, but is still respected by winemakers as an excellent source for high quality grapes.

I began with the 2014 Albarino. This is a crisp and light wine; perfect for a warm day at the beach. Pair it with a salad or a light seafood dish.

The next wine was a perfect follow-up. The 2014 Sauvignon Blanc has fruity aromas and a tingly mouthfeel. You won’t confuse this with a New Zealand version. This wine shows what can be done in this part of the world. Pair this with a Caesar salad and some artisan bread from your favorite bakery.

The last white wine was the 2014 Mission Chardonnay. This is not your oak bomb. The creaminess suggests secondary fermentation or sur lie aging. Either way, this is a scrumptious wine that should be a part of any dinner. The acidity and minerality of this wine will cut through any creamy pasta sauce.

Ross offered up three red wines as a counterpoint to the whites. He began with the 2012 Las Arenas. A blend of grenache and syrah; this is a medium-bodied red

2nd Annual Language Capital of the World® Cultural Festival

Set in Monterey on May 14 and 15, 2016

Over two dozen exciting international performances will take place at the 2nd Annual Language Capital of the World® Cultural Festival that will be held on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15 at the Upper Custom House Plaza in Downtown Monterey.

Hundreds of performers of colorful dances and authentic music from a variety of international cultures will represent an array of different languages (listed in parentheses). The performances will be coordinated for the second year by Sameera Sharif, Assistant Professor at the Defense Language Institute. The schedule for this outstanding two-day Festival is listed below.

Held in the heart of historic Old Monterey adjacent to Downtown Monterey and Monterey’s Old Fisherman’s Wharf, the 2nd Annual “Language Capital of the World® Cultural Festival” will highlight Monterey’s rich language, culture, and international affairs capabilities, as well as its Sister City relationships. Fun for all ages, the Festival will feature cultural dancing and singing, Henna face painting, ethnic foods and crafts, Sister City exhibits, and exhibits from the flagship foreign language and culture institutions of higher learning, as well as language and culture mini-lessons.

There will be delicious international food and beverages offered from many vendors with food from around the world including Japanese, Korean, American BBQ, Indian and Lebanese, as well as beer and wine.

The Language Capital of the World® Cultural Festival will be held on Saturday, May 14 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (Procession on Alvarado Street in Downtown Monterey at 10:00 am); Sunday, May 15 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Free admission. For more information: www.lcowfest.com Contact: Jaclyn Jordan at jordan@monterey.org or call Bob Massaro at (831) 649-6544

. . .green for GO! Chesebro Winery 19 E Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel Valley, CA 93924 Phone:(831) 659-2125 wine with both fruity and earthy aromas.

There are a lot of red blends in the market that are too light for most foods, but this blend will pair well with most meat dishes including pastas with red sauce.

The second red was the 2011 Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir. As many of you know, pinot noir rules this part of California making it a challenge for any winemaker.

A spicy flavor and nice acid makes this wine more enjoyable with a slight chill.

Unlike many pinots, this would pair well with barbecue or pizza.

The final offering at Chesebro was the 2013 La Grava. This is a blend of merlot, grenache, and syrah. This is a hearty and full-bodied red wine that is silky and luscious. Drink this wine slowly and enjoy every sip. Serve it with only the richest dishes.

The excitement of wine is all about the melange of flavors and aromas that the winemaker draws out of the grapes and at Chesebro, they are making enjoyable examples from the surrounding region. Check their website at www. chesebrowines.com for their hours and wines available for purchase.

It states the Monterey Bay Aquarium is building an “office complex just across the street from the American Tin Cannery.” In fact, the Aquarium is proposing a new Center for Ocean Education and Leadership to house its youth, teacher and school programs at 625 Cannery Row. We needed to correct both the project description and location.

Amid budget talks, please City Council: no Admission Tax

Editor: As a long-time resident of Pacific Grove and a volunteer with a number of non-profits, I’m troubled by the City Council’s idea to start taxing non-profits within Butterfly Town, USA. The council is looking for new revenue sources and has brought up once again the concept of taxing admissions.

I recognize that the city needs more money to run the city I love so much. There are more potholes, more parks that need tender loving care, aging sewer lines, and a host of services that need funding. Finance reports from the city indicate more $3-million dollars in underfunded services in the next decade.

An increase in the hotel tax was brought up but not pursued after vigorous lobbying by the Chamber and motels/hotels. So now, the City Council is actively pursuing an admissions tax by spending $70,000 on a polling company to see about placing it on the ballot in June, which could cost another $40,000.

My opinion is that some council members are zeroing in on the Monterey Bay Aquarium and its multitude of visitors as an easy fix to the city money hole. But perhaps the council didn’t think about how it would impact some of the very non-profits who help Pacific Grove citizens. I’ve served on the boards for the Pacific Grove Heritage Society, Friends of the Library, Pacific Grove Music Boosters, as well as served as a Girl Scout Leader and donated money to PG Pride, Feast of Lanterns and our PTAs. All of those organizations are run by volunteers with no paid staff. So now when we hold an event, we have to charge an admissions tax, collect it, report it, and monthly send a check to the city? It’s already difficult to find people willing to step up to run organizations. What will happen if this becomes part of the volunteer recruiting effort?

I urge the City Council to reconsider this proposal that by its very nature goes against the grain of what a non-profit stands for. I also recommend that our residents make their voices known that this tax will make it difficult to support events in our town, perhaps driving away business to other cities very nearby.

It’s baby deer season - drive carefully, even in downtown Pacific Grove

Editor: Can you do a blurb regarding the baby deer that are being born? I saw a mom and her baby trucking up the middle of Lighthouse toward downtown last week and stuck around to make sure it was safe. Good thing that mom led baby into a garden.

Just this morning while walking Scruffy we saw a mom and her twins on Crocker!

So cute and little.

Anyway, they are coming out and my concern is always about people who drive fast on Asilomar and Lighthouse, which is where the deer hang out. Any kind of public notice is greatly appreciated. Moe is always good to send emails out to the hospitality people this time of year. Many thanks.

Cop Log Cop log 4/15/16 – 4/22/16 Abandoned vehicle – in the middle of the road A vehicle was abandoned on Forest Ave. in the middle of number two lane, causing a traffic hazard. Officer was unable to contact the registered owner so it was towed.

A vehicle was abandoned on Eardley, parked in the middle of the road.

The hood was up and there appeared to be parts missing. The registered owner could not be contacted so the vehicle was towed.

Theft of vehicle parts In an unrelated (apparently) incident, vehicle parts were reported stolen on Ocean View.

A license plate was stolen on Pacific Grove Lane. Maybe someone is building a new car.

Dog at large A female black lab mix was found on Miles Ave. No chip, no tags, only a useful purple collar. So the dog went to doggie jail. Owner sprang her later.

Another dog was found at 9th and Ocean View. It was microchipped but not licensed. It will be licensed if it ever has a run-in with the law again.

A recidivist dog was found on Locust and turned in at PGPD. It had previously been in custody and a cite was issued to the owner.

Another dog was found by a woman and turned in. The owner was phoned and retrieved the dog.

Bicycle vs. pedestrian A bicyclist struck a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk. He was unable to provide his information due to a mental disability, but said it was an accident.

Report of homicide unfounded Reporting party on 72-hour hold for evaluation.

Party + minors + alcohol = citation A complaint of loud music led to officers seeing lots of minors leaving the house on Del Monte Blvd. It was determined there was alcohol, too, so a citation was issued to the responsible parties.

Theft of bicycle on 19th A man left his bicycle on the side of his house for 45 minutes and when he came back out, it was gone.

Paint Night at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History

Jane Louise Thomas

Obituary Jane Louise (Johnson) Thomas January 17, 1945 – April 12, 2016 Jane was born in Boston, MA the only child of Oscar Wallace Johnson and Marion Bromley Johnson; she grew up in its suburbs. When her family moved to Vallejo, CA, she enrolled at Vallejo High School and graduated in 1962. She attended the University of California at Davis on a California State Merit Scholarship, where she earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in history and political science.

She was awarded Phi Beta Kappa status in her junior year. In 1963, she met her future husband, Steve at a campus mixer and from that point on, the two were partners for life.

They were married in 1968 by her uncle, the late Rev. Nathan Wood, in his backyard in Napa. At that time, Jane was employed as a social worker for Napa County.

She was always thrifty, and repeatedly told people that she was proud of the fact that her wedding (including her dress) cost no more than $40.00. She was, after all, a native of New England.

Her new husband was a member of the U.S. Army. He was reassigned to Seoul, Korea, which was an accompanied tour, so Jane went there so they could be together.

Following his discharge in 1970, they moved to Corte Madera so he could finish his master's degree at San Francisco State. Jane took a job at the Marin County Office of Social Services, where she continued as a social worker.

When her husband graduated, he was offered a teaching position at the American School in Taipei, Taiwan. Jane packed up her unused teaching credential and the pair headed west to teach for three years. When they returned to California in 1974, they were no longer only a pair, but a trio – the couple's son, Stephen V was born in July of 1973. After discovering that there were no available teaching jobs in the area, the couple contacted their international teaching placement agency and both accepted jobs at the American School in Tehran, Iran.

When their contracts were finished, they returned to Jane's home state of Massachusetts where she accepted teaching positions in Franklin, then Wellesley. In 1981, they moved to North Carolina and after a year, the family decided to return to California, where Jane accepted a position at North Monterey County High School. They then settled in the coastal community of Pacific Grove. She taught at North Monterey County from 1982-1993. With her son getting ready to go away to college at George Washington University in DC, Jane accepted a position teaching baccalaureate economics at the American School in Athens, Greece.

Soon after their time in Greece, Jane and her husband returned to Massachusetts where he accepted what was to be the couple's final contact with education. However, still hoping to return to education, Jane earned a master's degree in administration from the University of Massachusetts. They bought a duplex overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Rockport, MA and Jane spent her next years managing the rental unit in the duplex. When her husband retired in 2002, the couple began raising organic fruits and vegetables in their back yard, preserving a lot of their own harvest.

While she was learning to can and preserve the harvest, she entered a sample of her apple jelly in a contest at the Topsfield Fair and won a ribbon. She was one talented lady. After one-too-many brutal New England winters, and with encouragement from her son and his family, Jane and Steve once again made a cross-country trip – this time by train. They returned to Pacific Grove where they purchased what was to be their final home together. There, she volunteered on committees of the Monarch Pines Homeowners Association and published the community newsletter.

Jane tried to communicate the need for clear, objective critical thinking to her students and demonstrated her capacity to perform these processes in her daily existence.

She led a full and interesting life; loved her Red Sox, was fiercely loyal to those about whom she cared and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband Steve (IV), son Stephen (V) and his wife, Lisa, and her beloved twin grandchildren, Mackenzie (“Kenzie” who shares her grandmother’s love of chocolate) and Stephen VI, (nicknamed “Phinn”, a sports fan just like grandma). Jane would be proud that three generations of Thomases helped to tell her story.

At her request, Jane will be cremated and her ashes scattered over the ocean that she loved so much.

We are proud of the reputation we have earned.

“A Table Affair”

On Thursday, April 21 the Pebble Beach Company and Bank of America sponsored an incredible display of 38 decorated tables, created by local individuals and organizations, at the Lodge at Pebble Beach. The event requested no admission, but donations to AIM for Mental Health, a movement to find clinical research to find cures for mental health disorders in youth, were gratefully accepted. According to Averil Nero, co-organizer, there was no cost to the organization for putting on the event as all costs were borne by benefactors.

From quirky to elegant, the tables displayed themes selected by the artists, individuals, and organizations which put them together for the event. Local artist Stefanna “Murphy” Robins chose a theme around her father’s old service station, with tools for flatware and engine parts as dishes and decorations. Boys and Girls Club of Monterey, for example, decorated their colorful display around a sports theme. Cowboys, roses, trains and more were featured. An Asian theme garnered oohs and ahhs for Canterbury Woods.

Nero said she was pleased with the donation the event was able to make for AIM and looks forward to next year’s event.

“Quirky” may be one way to describe Stefana “Murphy” Robins’s table built around a theme of an old

service station. “I was afraid they wouldn’t like it,” she said, of parts she borrowed from the Motorcycle Musem.

Upcoming Quail Motorcycle Gathering Brings to Mind Motorcycles in the Movies

By Marge Ann Jameson “A skittish motor bike with a touch of blood on it is better than all the riding animals on earth, because of its logical extension of our faculties, and the hint, the provocation to excess conferred by its honeyed, untiring smoothness.”

-(T.E. Lawrence, The Road, a treatise on the satisfaction one gets from motorcycling.)

The Quail Motorcycle Gathering brings motorcycles to the minds of the special people who admire classic motorcycles. The Gathering will be held May 14 in Carmel Valley. And with HBO issuing another casting call for extras (see page 7) movies may be on peoples' minds as well.

Fascination with motors and speed is naturally part of the draw of certain movies. “The Mini Coopers are part of the cast,” said F. Gary Gray, director of “The Italian Job” (2003). An earlier “The Italian Job”(1969) also featured Mini Coopers as part of a plot to create a traffic jam and steal some gold.

How many young men dreamed of owning a 1968 Ford Mustang GT and emulating Steve McQueen, racing through San Francisco at 110 mph, chasing after the bad guys? So great was the appeal that Ford released a 2008 Bullitt Mustang.

Personally, I had to have a Sunbeam Alpine (James Bond's first movie car (1962), and the one driven by Grace Kelly in “To Catch a Thief” (1955).

But cars aren't the only motors speeding through our daydreams. Skip the exploitation films, though.

“The Wild One” (1953) featured Marlon Brando on his own personal Triumph and spawned legends of motorcycle gangs. Hollister, the ostensible site of the film, still holds a motorcycle event each summer.

There were the Harley Davidsons in “Easy Rider” (1969). The “choppers” recalled “bobbers” of the post WWII era.

Sometimes the motorcycles make it into the titles: “Electra Glide in Blue” (1973) featured Robert Blake on a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide; “The World's Fastest Indian” (2005) was about an Indian Scout motorcycle.

Like actors getting into character, motorcycles in the movies aren't always what they were meant to be. Two of the four motorcycle used in “the World's Fastest Indian” were not Indians. They were Ducatis, rebuilt to look like Indians by legendary motorcycle builder John Britten. Britten, who died at the age of 45 in 1995, was a friend of Burt Munro, the subject of the film.

Ernesto “Che” Guevera's life-altering trip on a 500cc Norton International was based on Che's diaries, found and published in 1993. For “The Motorcycle Diaries” (2004), the crew used restored Nortons.

Reluctant to damage vintage Nortons, the crash scenes in the film used modern Suzukis made up to look like Nortons (they called them "Nortsukis"). According to Director Walter Salles, the old Nortons were unfailingly reliable, and the modern Suzukis constantly broke down.

The late Steve McQueen was not only an actor, but was a racer as well. However, in “The Great Escape” (1963) it was Bud Ekins as his body double who took the iconic motorcycle jump over barbed wire. “On Any Sunday” (1971) may well be the best documentary about motorcycles – and racing in particular -- ever made, and, alongside McQueen, it stars a Swedish-made Husqvarna 360. [An identical bike is on display at Jameson's Classic Motorcycle Museum in Pacific Grove.]

The 1930 building which houses Jameson's Classic Motorcycle Museum was itself the setting for an episode of “Then Came Bronson” (episode 22). The TV series aired from 1969-1970. The series is about a news reporter who buys a Harley Davidson Sportster from the widow of a friend. Bronson sets off on the motorcycle to find himself and in the process help others. In one episode, he joins a hill climb...on a Harley?

Actually, it was a Bultaco made to look like a Harley and who knew the difference without a close-up?

Today, there are young visitors to the Museum who see the off-road display section and not only don't know what a Bultaco is, but have never ridden a kick-start.

The youngest Layne sister of Pacific Grove was about 6 or 7 years old when “Then Came Bronson” came to Pacific Grove. The chain came off her little two-wheeler as she rode downtown with her friend(s) to see what was going on — all the cameras and trucks. Michael Parks, who played Bronson, saw the

little girl struggling to get her chain back on, so he went over to give her a hand. He ended up with bike grease all over his hands and on his shirt — to the dismay of the production crew. He also gave her his autograph, complete with greasy finger print smudges all over the paper along with his signature. She remembers that she had to go home and ask her mother who this guy was that everyone thought was so important.

“Hang in there” as a meme In the opening to each episode, Bronson pulls up to a stop light next to an older man in a station wagon.

Bronson has a sleeping bag rolled up on his handlebars and sports a watch cap (this was before helmet laws).

Driver: "Taking a trip?"

Bronson: "What's that?"

Driver: "Taking a trip?"

Bronson: "Yeah."

Driver: "Where to?"

Bronson: "Oh, I don't know. Wherever I end up, I guess."

Driver: "Man, I wish I was you."

Bronson: "Really?"

Driver: "Yeah."

Bronson: "Well, hang in there."

Then Bronson takes off and we see him crossing the Bixby Bridge and stopping at an out-of-the-way filling station.

When “Bronson” was filmed, the building at 305 Forest Ave. housed a newspaper. Now that it is a motorcycle museum, it displays some 70 motorcycles, four of which are Harley-Davidsons, including a 1913 belt-driven

T. E. Lawrence on one of his Brough Superiors model. It still houses a newspaper - this one.

Who of my generation can forget the opening scenes of “Lawrence of Arabia (1962),” when Peter O'Toole, as T. E. Lawrence riding a 1932 Brough Superior SS100 on a country road in England, swerves to avoid a pair of young boys, crashes, and winds up fatally injured? In real life, a coroner's inquest established that the boys were riding in the same direction as Lawrence, not toward him as depicted in the movie.

It helped that I had a crush on the 6'2" actor who so closely resembled T. E. Lawrence about the face, but the real man was 5'5". He owned eight of the exquisite motorcycles, naming each one (after the first one called “Boanerges”) “George.” It was on “George VII” that he was killed, and “George VIII” had been ordered and was being built when that happened. The plates depicted in the movie are actually those of “George VI.” The private owner of “George VIII” has it on display at the Imperial War Museum in England. He also owns Lawrence's goggles the bike's original log book,

By Joe MiGo - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15413094 its tax disc, and some brass fuel filters. It is the only surviving motorcycle that can be positively identified as belonging to T. E. Lawrence.

The wrecked bike, “George VII,” was stored for a few months after Lawrence's death. It had suffered a bent kick-starter and footpegs, a grazed saddle, a lost headlight rim, and a dent in the fuel tank where a shift lever hit it. Brough refitted the tank with a traditional chromium-plated tank (Lawrence had had a stainless steel tank placed on it three months before the accident). It is also on display at the Imperial War Museum in England, where I saw them.

We saw them the same year we also took a train to see the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, England, which unfortunately suffered a serious fire soon after our visit, in 2003. It is fortuitous that the Georges were not in that building.

George Brough (rhymes with “ruff”) custom-built 3048 motorcycles, including police and sidecar models, between 1919 and 1940. The Brough factory was turned over to make Rolls Royce Merlin airplane engines in 1940. But after World War II, there were no engines for the motorcycle so production of the motorcycles ceased, though Brough continued to service them and make parts for them until 1969.

In 2008, vintage motorcycle enthusiast Mark Upham acquired the rights to the Brough Superior name. In 2013 he met motorcycle designer Thierry Henriette and asked him to design a new Brough Superior motorcycle. Three months later a prototype of a new SS100 was shown in Milan. The bikes are being produced in France.

Someone usually brings a Brough to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering and it's worth the ticket to see them among the beautiful bikes on display.

Jay Leno has Broughs in his collection, too and there is a You Tube video of him riding one — and bragging about the wonders of bike.

Tickets to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering are likely sold out for 2016, but entry to the auction may still be available. More information can be had online at http://signatureevents.peninsula.com

The “new” Brough Superior SS100 is ready for the world

Opening Gala at Pacific Grove Art Center on First Friday, May 6

May flowers are blooming and so is the new art at the Pacific Grove Art Center’s Gala Art Opening on Friday May 6 from 7-9 p.m. The public is invited to step out into the warming night air and into the musical stylings of the Jazz Cats while enjoying sculpture, drawings, children’s art and more. The Gala is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

Artists exhibiting will be:

Katherine Meyer – Coming into View, Dyke Gallery “Being alone in nature has always sustained me, and my drawings are attempts to make visible what creates my heart’s own home. The work is also an invitation to you to find your own place in these landscapes, and to sense the restorative connection that can and must exist between us and nature.”

Juan Ramón Gimeno – The Myth of Prometheus, Annand Gallery “What I’ve discovered in ceramics is the possibility of actually CREATING the material itself to my liking. The shapes of my sculptures have organic and geological connotations. Without imitating any naturally occurring form, the works participate in natural processes such as the creation of the material, its organization and growth, and its subsequent erosion.”

”

Juan Ramón Gimeno: “Wet Forest Scent”

Katherine Meyer, “Back in the Slough”

Allied Artists West, Out of the Blue, Gill Gallery Allied Artists West is a professional artists’ group in Santa Clara County. Juried members are nationally-known artists who have received awards, juried art competitions and exhibits, and/ or who have been published. Their collective work reflects a diversity of techniques and approaches.

Sandi Okita, “The Lady Blue” Youth Arts Collective YAC is a nonprofit, after school art studio and mentorship program for high school and college artists. YAC is an incubator for some of this area’s future creatives, whether they end up in the arts, education, business, or science.

The Solar Flight Age Dawns Tom Stevens

Can’t live with them, Can’t live without them Jane Roland

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts

Monday’s Monterey Herald had a nice aerial photo of the curious-looking aircraft “Solar Impulse 2” flying over the Golden Gate Bridge. Resembling an oversized balsa glider, the long-winged plane had just flown in from Hawaii. The crossing reportedly took 62 hours.

Piloted by Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard of the legendary Piccard explorer family, the carbon-fiber aircraft is a year into an epic quest to circle the globe powered entirely by sunlight. As fragile as a dragonfly, the plane’s 5,000-pound fuselage supports four propellers mounted on wings longer than those of a Boeing 747.

Because the plane cannot fly in high winds or stormy weather, the globe-girdling journey that started in Abu Dhabi last March has featured more time on land than aloft. Its two-pilot payload and 28 mph average air speed also make the Solar Impulse 2 unlikely to supplant jumbo jets anytime soon.

But the solar plane does offer a possible template for petroleum-free aviation in the future. It’s also worth keeping in mind that this is a prototype, likely to beget swifter, sturdier offspring. The Wright Brothers’ first plane didn’t carry passengers or top 30 mph either.

“For us, the flight around the world is the beginning of something; it’s not the end,” Borschberg told reporters Saturday night. “We can do so much with the technologies we have here with this airplane (and) so much to inspire the young generation.”

While not part of that youthful cohort, I’m inspired too. It’s exciting to imagine even the remote possibility of smoke-free flight. Viewed from ground level, thousands of daily commercial jet contrails braid the sky in artful-looking ways, but all that exhaust can’t be good for earth’s atmosphere or its warming climate.

Ironically, it was aboard a jetliner that I first read about climate change. The year was 1989, and I was making a rare cross-country flight to visit a sister on the East Coast. I had made many over-ocean crossings, but very few flights across the U.S. mainland. Luckily, I had a window seat for the return leg.

I remember particularly flying over the west. Out the DC-10s viewports stretched the great American badlands, a belt of high desert cut by twisting, muddy rivers. The land looked like a fallen dinosaur, its alkali ridges curving into the desert floor like ribs. Hips of broken mountains flanked a canyon’s crooked spine, and low hills tailed into the distance.

It’s an ominous sight, this great lost piece of America. Once a seabed, once a forest, it is today an eerie wasteland. To fly over it is to see time pressed into stone, and to see time burning. Shortly before darkness overtook us, we flew over a 50-mile patch of inky smoke, the soot from a coal-fired power plant far below. Forests and dinosaurs compressed into carbon were being burned and released into the air.

To one who hadn’t crossed the U.S. in a plane since 1966, the view from 33,000 feet was frightening. Smoke was everywhere – deep brown murk over the cities, black soot columns rising from the badlands, and a bluish-gray haze over everything else.

Yet there was no fire – or rather, no single fire. There were millions of little fires, of which our DC-10 was one. Inside its cabin, a first-run movie, taped music and glossy magazines offered diversion from the smoky continent below. I tried a magazine.

Midway through the Sept. 11 issue of The New Yorker, amid the Mercedes-Benz and Grand Marnier ads, was an article titled: “Reflections on the End of Nature” by Bill McKibbon. He postulated that if humans kept burning carbon, the atmosphere would grow smoky enough to trap heat, warming earth’s climate in unforeseen ways.

That was 1989. In the quarter century since then, McKibbon’s prophecy has proved alarmingly accurate. Like the demonic brooms in Walt Disney’s “Fantasia,” the years march past, each posting a new heat record. For this 2016 summer, the U.S. west is bracing for a six-month fire season, and cruise lines offer transits of the Arctic Ocean.

Weather permitting, the Solar Impulse 2 was to have departed the Bay Area at mid-week for its next stop in Phoenix, Arizona. En route, its pilots will overlook the alkali desert terrain I saw from 33,000 feet 25 years ago. It’s likely they’ll see smoke rising from the same coal-fired plants, smog browning the same cities, blue haze shrouding the same basins. From the air, not much has changed.

But from the ground, something at least will be different, and perhaps hopeful.

People noticing a long-winged shadow pass leisurely over them will look up and see something remarkable: a four-engine plane flying high overhead but leaving no smoky contrail.

Those spotting it might be seeing the dawn of solar flight.

Cats. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them. Oh, wait, that was actually said about women (fancy that) attributed to 15th century Dutch philosopher, Desiderius Erasmus. I will not go into the original quote, at least not now. I am writing about felines as my morning started as it does often with interrupted sleep, thanks to our two four legged furry boys.These cats have lived together most of their lives. Toby came to us from an off-site adoption at the Benefit Shop on Forest Avenue. Once a month, dogs and cats would “chill out” in front of the store under the eye of Judy Leroy, and, more often than not, were adopted by a customer or simply a person passing by. It was early January 2006. At that time we had two dogs, but were down to one cat who was aging. When I saw the marmalade kitten, I felt that he belonged with us.

He wasn’t a very nice young cat; he had a tendency to growl, snarl and bat hands away. However, years have passed, the animals we had in 2006 have gone to frolic in the pastures of Heaven. We named him Toby Maguire as he hung on everything and climbed, as does Spider Man, depicted by the afore named actor. He and Mikey (Michael Crawford) got along fine and he and chocolate Lab co-existed. In 2007 Mikey, my beloved, died and the day that he took his last ride to the vet (and didn’t return), a Siamese kitten was brought into the shop and went home with John. An aside which I have mentioned before is that Mike, during his life, did not fail to leave the family room in the morning, run around the house and jump into bed with me. The day Sammy was released from the required weeks inside he left the family room, ran around the house and jumped into bed with me...eerie...There the resemblance ended. Mike loved everyone, helped cook, played bridge, conversed at parties, such a great cat who gave so much.

Sammy likes only me, he tolerates John and the dogs, but he and Toby are not friends.

Toby gets treats in the morning from John. I thought this was favoritism and I brought some goodies into the bedroom to put on my bedside table for Sammy. This worked fine for a bit, then the Marmalade discovered the bounty. Now shortly after 6:00 a.m., he is in the window, eating the food. He is quiet, but I am a very light sleeper and become aware of the interloper. I must make certain that Sammy does not miss out. So out of bed I get to prepare another bowl. Now, as most of you know, I am a night owl and do not shut down until 11:30 p.m. John retires at the same time, but has napped a bit in his chair. I try to sleep until 7:30 in the morning, but it rarely happens. John is up at 6:00 and, of course, immediately lets the animals go out. The cats awaken me at shortly after 6:00 and it is very hard to fall asleep again with the noise created. Mike has the typical Siamese voice, (although he is a feral cat and mixed breed, he has picked up the markings and voice of his dominant parent) One thing that might be noted is that Toby had a best friend, Lilah, our Doxie, who died last fall. The manifestations I have mentioned really didn’t occur until after that time. He likes Annie the Schnoodle who came to us from AFRP. they often sleep together, but it is friendship rather than the adoration he had for Lilah. So, bear with me, my eight hours of sleep have been much diminished. Someone said to me that I should not put up with this. How can I not? If we shut the window, Toby will be deterred but Sammy will sit underneath and yowl.

There have been only a few times in my life I have been without cats. Here is an interesting thought. We have not been without at least one dog during our marriage, sometimes as many as three. Most canines evoke strong feelings. Some I have adored and some actively disliked. Nana, the Old English Sheepdog and Cinder the Irish Setter come to mind in reference to the latter.Nana was a prima donna who tolerated no affection given to others, animals or people. She would push in and demand attention.

Cinder was simply “mad”…and I mean this in the true sense of the word, she was crazy.

She would get away and travel all over town, taking our puppy with her. She destroyed everything in sight. Probably one of the most beautiful animal I have seen. But beauty is only skin deep and Cinder’s skin was very thin But cats are different, from kittenhood they are fascinating to watch. They rule the roost. Cats operate on their own terms, they eat the food you provide but don’t thank you for it, as do dogs, Cats are rulers, dogs and people their court.

There has been a weekend manager at the Treasure Shop for over a year. Her name is Deborah Ferguson. She is looking for volunteers for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

If you have some time, stop by and discuss shifts with her. Or simply go by and say “hello.” We have wonderful things for Mother’s Day, look for our ad and bring it to shop for a 25 percent discount. Also we are always looking for donations of furniture, clothing, jewelry, antiques, decorative items, books and more, gently used, or new…please.

Shrooms of the Central Coast

If you happened to be a kid in the early 1980s, or simply a fan of Saturday morning cartoons, you might remember the Smurfs and their little village made from large red and white mushrooms.

What fans of the Smurfs may not remember is how these little mushroom homes closely resembled Amanita muscaria, a mushroom that can be found in the central coast region of California - and anywhere with woods, groves, open areas and pastures. It’s likely Papa Smurf never mentioned how poisonous Amanita muscaria is either, but ingesting the mushroom can indeed have a life-ending effect on those who devour it. The mushroom, once nicknamed “the Destroying Angel,” has been blamed for numerous deaths over the years.

A beautiful model replica of this mushroom, as well as other fungi found in the area, can now be viewed at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. These replicas were created in the 1950s by former Museum Curator and Director Merton Hinshaw. What some may not realize is many of the amphibians and reptiles on display on the second-floor mezzanine of the Museum are also models made by Hinshaw. He created plaster molds, cast the impressions in latex, then painted the models in life-like colors.

“I love looking at all of the odd things we have in the museum’s collections,” said Exhibitions Curator Annie Holdren. “These mushroom models had never been cataloged, but they were in a couple of boxes that caught my eye. I see them as miniature sculptures, cast from nature but selected and painted by the 1950s curator/ director who spent his time making them.”

The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. View more information on the Museum’s website at pgmuseum.org.

All Media Student Exhibit

3D and 2D art by more than 60 artists for sale The gallery is open Monday - Thursday, 11:00 - 4:00, (or by appointment; call (831) 646-3060) Reception will be Thursday, May 5, 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. (Artists’ talk 1:00 p.m.)

With great enthusiasm Monterey Peninsula College presents the work of art students from May 3 - 27, 2016 in the MPC Art Department Gallery, 980 Fremont St., Monterey. These 62 artists are enrolled in classes offered by the Creative Arts Division here at MPC. While many of them come to MPC with art skills and established lives as artists, plenty of them are just beginning their explorations in art. The artists whose work graces these walls range in age from 18 to over 70.

One glance at this exhibit tells us about the wide diversity and multiple talents of our very hardworking art students. What they have produced, individually and collectively, is impressive. Passion, exploration, focus, experimentation, discipline, deep thinking, organization, and practice---all this, and more, is required of an artist.

Deep commitment to creativity is evident in this room on a grand scale.

Artists also need support, opportunity, and community. The dedicated and fine teachers in our art department help to provide that. Their tireless generosity of time and guidance makes it possible for student artists to thrive at MPC. The magic we witness in this gallery exhibition would not be possible without them.

Admission is free. MPC parking fee: $2. (two paper dollars)

San Francisco Giants Updates The San Jose Giants Announce Free General Admission On May 31

The San Francisco Giants announced on April 25 that its Class A Advanced team the San Jose Giants were in fourth place in the 2016 California League North. The Visalia Rawhide (Arizona) was in first place followed by The Stockton Ports (Oakland A’s), The Modesto Nuts (Colorado Rockies), San Jose Giants (S.F Giants) and The Bakersfield Blaze (Mariners). Watch for the San Jose Giants to move up to third place.

The San Jose Giants announced on April 22 that the team would have “a make-up double header against the Lancaster Jet-Hawks on Tuesday, May 31 at San Jose Municipal Stadium. The team explained that action would start at 5:30 p.m. to finish the earlier rained-out game. Action resumes in the fifth inning with the Giants behind by a score of 4 to 1. There will be a 30-minute break and then a seven-inning make-up game. The Lancaster team is in the California League South.

General admission will be free for both games. Call ahead of time to confirm game start times before driving the 74 miles to San Jose.

The San Francisco Giants are regaining their winning edge. The S.F. Giants defeated San Diego on April 25. The highlight of the game was the save by their closing pitcher Santiago Casilla .The Giants announced in a post game press release that “Tonight marked Casilla’s 100th career save.” Buster Posey was catching. Another key win for the Giants was on April 22 when the game was won by pitcher Jeff Samardzia who defeated the Marlins. Samardzia “Went 2-4 and drove in a career-high three runs.”.

Breakers on track

Just as impressive has been the play of the Pacific Grove Varsity Baseball Team coached by Gil Ruiz. Coach Ruiz announced on April 26 that “We are in 4th place in league with six games left. If we win out and get some help from other teams we could end up in 2nd.” The coach went on to explain the team split a pair of games with Carmel High “which gave them their 1st league loss.”

The coach said that outstanding players in last weeks play were: “Seniors Nic Boatman, James Donlon, Noah Ryan and soph Dylan Dutcher and freshman Trevor Heyn.”

Making the Big Sur Marathon a Family Affair Prestigious ‘Grizzled Vets Club’ Grows

By Dennis Taylor There aren’t many dinner parties, one must assume, at which the conversation might drift toward blisters, bunions and black toenails, sore tendons and joints, strained hamstrings, stomach cramps, aching backs, and swollen knees.

Then again, there aren’t many extended families like the one that includes 62-year-old Pacific Grove resident Claudia McCord-Kostyshak, who, on Sunday, completed the Big Sur International Marathon’s 21-mile run/walk for the 22nd year in a row.

While McCord-Kostyshak was battling toward the finish line, she drew inspiration from her relatives, nine of whom were elsewhere on the race course, fighting their own battles with the unusually windy, chilly conditions.

Her 81-year-old uncle, Bob Rice, was the oldest person to finish the full marathon (time 5 hours, 55 minutes, 47 seconds).

Her 91-year-old father, Ray Rice (Bob’s brother), is a 21-mile veteran who, due to hip replacement surgery, ran the 10.6-miler for the third year in a row with Claudia’s sisters, Julie Johnson, 69, Marla Dickinson, 66, and Barbara O’Loren, 61.

The 10.6-mile field also included Bob Rice’s 79-year-old wife, Pinkie, and their 57-year-old daughter, Suzanne Morris -- who won the 1999 Big Sur Marathon (time: 2 hours, 52 minutes, 24 seconds) and holds the women’s course record for the 55-59 age division.

Joanne Killam, 86-year-old sister of Bob and Ray, ran the nine-miler with her daughter, Kathy Killam, the baby of the group at 56.

At least eight additional family members have run in Big Sur races -- from 5 kilometer to 21 miles -- in previous years.

“All of those people, plus other relatives, including my mom (Mary Rice), who is 90, come to the Monterey Peninsula (from Humboldt County, La Selva Beach, and Southern California) for this weekend every year,” said McCord-Kostyshak. “I host a dinner on Friday night; everybody does their own thing on Saturday; then, on Sunday, we have another dinner together after the event.

“We’ve been doing it for 23 years, and it’s wonderful,” she said. “I just feel so proud to be part of a family that feels so strongly about staying fit. It keeps me young.”

“We’ve been doing it for 23 years, and it’s wonderfu. I just feel so proud to be part of a family that feels so strongly about staying fit. It keeps me young.”

- Claudia McCord Kostyshak For the record, McCord-Kostyshak is one of only two runners — Chris Banks of Salinas is the other — who have finished the 21-mile event every year since the event was christened in 1995. That makes them the only members of BSIM’s “Grizzled Vets Club” at the 21-mile distance.

Aunt Pinkie was officially a “Grizzled Vet” until this year, when she finally “downgraded” to the 10.6-miler.

“That very first year, there were only about a hundred of us, as opposed to the 900-plus runners that ran the 21-miler this year,” McCord-Kostyshak said. “They hauled us all down to the starting line on

a couple of buses, and unloaded us on the side of the road with our bananas and whatever else we’d brought for ourselves.

A few of us sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” then Kathleen Kastner, who was in charge back then, said, ‘OK, one, two, three, go!’ … and off we went.”

McCord-Kostyshak hasn’t missed a 21-miler since, despite battling through stomach flu one year. Now, the streak provides its own motivation.

“I think my husband feels like it’s a ball and chain, because we can’t go anywhere or do anything in the last week of April every year,” she says with a laugh of Geoff Kostyshak, a retired educator who spent 37 years teaching math at Pacific Grove High. “But I’m not about to stop.”

Geoff, whom she married 10 months ago, is a tennis player and workout nut, but chooses to cheer from the sidelines at Big Sur races.

Sunday’s post-race conversation mostly centered around the bone-chilling wind that howled over the course throughout the event, she said.

“It reminded some of us of a race about 10 years ago that was also very cold,” McCord-Kostyshak said. “The really bad part on Sunday was the climb to Hurricane Point, where you felt like you were going to get blown right over the side.

“But I saw a little sign at Mile 24 that said, ‘Pain is temporary, but the glory of crossing the finish line lasts forever,’ and I guess that’s what I’ve learned in 22 years.

I made it to the finish line again, and I’ll get to keep that forever.”

McCord-Kostyshak, who became “semi-retired” three years ago after managing Cannery Row Antique Mall over the previous 18 years, says she has no plans to stop. If she can stay healthy, she’d love to be running into her 90s, like her father.

She also is hoping her family’s remarkable tradition of fitness (they also often backpack together as a family) can be passed along to the youngest generation.

“We all have kids. And those kids have kids. How can we get them to come up here and join us? That was a topic of conversation when we got together this year,” she said. “We’ve got to do it soon.

I don’t know how many years I’m going to have all of this, and I want those next generations to be able to experience it, and maybe keep it all going as the years go by.”

Wondering if she’s ‘On a Different Planet’ Among the many benefits of writing our story and sharing it with others is helping us navigate through life’s transitions. The process of writing and sharing gives us greater clarity and a greater appreciation and respect for our ability to make the passage from one life stage to the next, and we truly become “the hero of my own life.”

In the definitive work on life stories, “Writing Your Legacy” (Writers Digest Books, 2015), Richard Campbell and Cheryl Svensson remind us that when it comes to life’s transitions, “… we regroup, re-plan and relive. Legacy writing allows us to rethink this process and to recalibrate our life through story.”

Be Careful Getting Out of the Car! Jane Parks-McKay—a freelance writer, former teacher and journalist, and a longtime member of Central Coast Writers—saw her life turn upside-down one day in 2007, when her husband, Tim McKay, knocked his head on the door frame while getting out of a car. What started out as a seemingly-innocent “bump on the noggin” quickly turned into a serious and debilitating traumatic brain injury. Just like that, Jane found herself thrust into the unfamiliar role of full-time caregiver. In an ironic twist of fate, Jane suffered a similar injury this past December, smacking her head on the door frame while getting out of an SUV. In the following essay, Jane demonstrates the power of writing and sharing as she transitions in and out of the roles of caregiver and cared-for.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is coming to the Golden State Theatre May 7

Yes! It’s still cool to swing!

Don’t miss a Saturday night filled with the toe-tapping fun of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy coming to perform at the Golden State Theatre on Saturday, May 7, 2016.

Together for over 22 years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy — famously named after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins — has appeared in concert venues across the world, sold millions of records, and had their music appear in hundreds of movies and television shows.

With sold-out concerts around the world, appearances with many of the country’s finest symphony orchestras, and television appearances ranging from “Dancing with the Stars” to Superbowl XXXIII, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy continues its decades- long mission to revitalize America’s original musical art form and bring joy to audiences around the world.

2016 marks the 23rd anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early ’90s in Ventura, California, the band has toured virtually nonstop, performing on average over 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music, with sales of over 2 million albums to date. Early on, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world, in the midst of the grunge era no less, that it was still cool to swing. The band, cofounded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s first phase of stardom featured an appearance in the 1996 indie film “Swingers,” a movie that not only launched the careers of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, but introduced Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to an audience beyond their Los Angeles base. The band’s music has appeared in countless films and television shows, including “The Wild,” “Despicable Me,” Phineas & Ferb,” “Friends,” “Third Rock From The Sun,” “Ally McBeal”, and “So You Think You Can Dance.” They have appeared live on “Dancing With The Stars,” “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center,” The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a remarkable seven appearances on The “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and the Super Bowl XXXIII Halftime Show. The band has also appeared as special guests with many of the country’s most distinguished symphony orchestras, and has performed for three U.S. Presidents.

ing that has been extended to me for so many years. Others helped me along all those years when I was on the fast track and like it or not, my time is slowing down. As I interact with people over the phone or at the stores, I ask myself, “Can they really be out of high school?

They look sooooo young!”

The other day, a young professional we had worked with asked me to write an online review for him. He had worked very hard on our behalf and I was happy to oblige. As I was thinking about his many attributes, I realized that he wasn’t even alive when we bought our home a mere 25 years ago. When I emailed our niece who works at Zillow for some advice on how to work the blankety-blankety website, I realized here again I’m dealing with a college graduate who had been in the professional workforce a few years by now.

At 25, I remembered I felt I had it so together. How many ‘older’ people looked upon me the same way so many years ago?

In the end today, what I was left with was a smile on my face and in my heart knowing that I was helping to pass the torch on, it was their time, not mine anymore. Pretty neat.

March existing home sales and median price up from previous month and year Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors

Market Matters California home sales rose from both the previous month and year to post the highest sales pace in six months, while strained housing supplies continued to push home prices higher, according to the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.).

Existing, single-family home sales totaled 415,220 in March on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, up 5.5 percent from February and 5.7 percent above March 2015.

March’s statewide median home price was $483,280, up 8.9 percent from February and up 4 percent from March 2015.

The median number of days it took to sell a single-family home declined in March to 29.9 days, compared with 41.4 days in February and 34.2 days in March 2015.

March’s sales level rose above the 400,000 level for the first time in three months.

C.A.R. President Pat “Ziggy” Zi-

carelli commented, “California’s housing market is moving in the right direction as we enter the spring home-buying season, but sales growth will likely be isolated in areas where inventory is more abundant and housing affordability is less of an issue. For example, in the Bay Area, where inventory is extremely tight, annual sales are down in the double-digits in seven of the region’s nine counties.”

The number of active listings increased slightly for the third consecutive month after declining for five straight months, but was not enough to boost housing supplies. Active listings increased 3.9 percent from February on a statewide basis.

The increase in active listings was outpaced by the rate of home sales, causing C.A.R.’s Unsold Inventory Index to drop from 4.6 months in February to 3.6 months in March.

Tackling Seaside’s tricky-trucks dilemma Part Three

Moving on awaits Seaside’s mobile homeless population. If their vans, recreational vehicles, campers and trucks aren’t gone after the city’s vehicle code is amended in the near future, many will be towed away—but to where and by whom?

They live in their vehicles because they can’t afford housing. Where will they live next?

Those questions arose at Seaside City Council’s public hearing meeting on April 21 where creation of a draft ordinance that amends the city’s vehicle code was approved to prohibit certain overnight parking on the streets and, in some cases, in driveways and on private property.

Ultimate outcome will mean the ouster of illegally parked vehicles used as homes-on-wheels.

Sunday drive-by I did a 9:30 a.m. two-square-mile tour last Sunday, covering Del Monte to Fremont and Canyon del Rey to Broadway in Seaside. Twenty-six vehicles qualified as shelters. Also, I saw at least 20 times as many cars, delivery trucks, gardening trailers and hauling vans lined bumper-tobumper in residential areas.

Retracing the same two-mile sweep at 2:30 p.m. yielded only 17 sleepers, some of which had changed locations by a few feet to at least one city block. A few had moved to Laguna Grande Park and Roberts Lake.

Obviously, discerning which vehicles

Concert will Benefit Monterey Peninsula Homeless Women

A special musical fundraiser for The Gathering for Women, a local group supporting homeless women on the Monterey Peninsula, is scheduled for Sat. May 28 at 1:00 p.m. at the Center for Spiritual Living located at the corner of Pacific and Franklin Street in Monterey. Admission is $20.

Tickets are available on line at www. montereycsl.org and at the door. All monies collected will go to The Gathering for Women. For more information, please visit montereycsl.org

Comedy to be Presented at Stevenson On April 28, 29, and 30 and May 1, Stevenson School Performing Arts presents “The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Production of Macbeth,” a comedy by David Macgillivray and Walter Zerlin, Jr. The play will be performed at 2:00 p.m. at Stevenson School, Keck Auditorium, 3152 Forest Lake Rd., Pebble Beach.

Homeless in Paradise are legal and which are illegal will be as complex as the immigration issue about which major presidential candidates are now campaigning.

A rainbow of tire marks Seaside Police Chef Vicki Myers said discretion by city employees, mixed with public cooperation, will be vital to success.

Question: How should the city handle a vehicle whose family of parents and several children has accumulated a rainbow of tire marks without responding?

Or, what if a homeowner reports a camper has been parked at his curb for more tham 72 hours? The city must decide what to do about it. If the vehicle has received three citations and still has not moved, must it be towed? If yes, who tows it and where it is stored?

How is it towed and where is it stowed?

If a massive RV is half a city block long, how is it towed? Where is it stowed?

Contracts with towing firms loom.

Who pays? Vehicle owners, the city, or do they split the cost?

Will it cost Seaside more to oust the four-wheeled homeless than provide shelter for them?

Meanwhile, in Monterey. . .

Monterey now has five bright-red repurposed parking meters in heavily foot-trafficked areas. These “Cents of a Community” collection boxes are repositories for change to help the homeless and reduce panhandling.

What happens if collection-box busters, like old-fashioned bank robbers, rip off the change? If caught, do they do time in jail, or prison?

Mayor Clyde Roberson, who is

Monterey Mayor Clyde Roberson running for re-election, says affordable housing is a top priority. “The City of Monterey provides yearly funds for many homeless-serving organizations including the Veterans’ Transition Center for housing.”

Mayor Clyde adds, “Monterey has built low-income housing in the past, and currently has a project on city land for 19 very-low-income units.

“Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-Help for Men) currently provides homeless shelter for up to 25 homeless guests every day of the month at different participating churches, one of which is my own, First Presbyterian Monterey, of which I have been a member almost 40 years. Our Pastor Jay started the program almost 25 years ago.”

Monterey is working this year to provide approximately $700,000 in

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that include $450,000 to the Veterans’ Transition Center, $200,000 to Interim, Inc. and $62,500 to Community Human Services.

Monterey continues pursuing its matching funds challenge to which Pacific Grove and Carmel have now responded, according to Hans Uslar, assistant city manager.

A comprehensive report “Inclusionary Housing in Monterey County”appears in the April 2016 edition of The VOTER, newsletter of The League of Women Voters of Monterey County. Contact LWVMryCo@gmail.com , 831-648-8683. .

Where will Seaside’s camper crackdown lead?

Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio urges caution in tackling tricky-truck questions that differentiate illegal vehicles from legal commercial/business trucks, vans and trailers.

He says, “Many Seaside residents who park vehicles on the streets rely on them for work and business.”

Ultimate outcome of Seaside’s action will be the ouster of illegally parked vehicles higher than 9 and 9-1/2 feet that may be homes-on-wheels to travelers, entrenched residents of Seaside’s streets, or newcomers relocating after the Chinatown sweeps in Salinas.

Where will the owners/occupants go if they can’t afford housing? Probably along with their vehicles to land the city of Seaside owns in old Fort Ord, according to Mayor Rubio.

Seaside isn’t Chinatown West, but it has become Monterey County’s Coastal Campground.

This is a political hot potato. Stay tuned!

Times • April 29, 2016 Peace Of Mind Dog Rescue Celebrates 1,000th Rescue Page 22 • CEDAR STREET

This week Peace of Mind Dog Rescue (POMDR) is celebrating their 1,000th Rescue. Mu Shu, a 12-year-old Schnauzer mix is their 1,000th intake. POMDR took in Mu Shu after his guardian went into assisted living. Mu Shu is currently in a foster home and is available for adoption.

Peace of Mind Dog Rescue is a resource and advocate for senior dogs and senior people on the Central Coast. They find loving homes for dogs whose guardians can no longer care for them and for senior dogs in local shelters. They have a lifetime commitment to the dogs in their program. Even after the dogs are adopted, POMDR does periodic follow up calls to be sure the dogs are well cared for and happy.

POMDR has been called upon over and over again by senior citizens, their loved ones, and social service workers to help re-home dogs whose guardians have either passed away or could no longer care for them. POMDR is also called upon on a regular basis to take in senior dogs who would otherwise be euthanized in local shelters.

POMDR is able to care for dogs left behind with the support of over 550 volunteers including 100 foster homes who care for the dogs until they are adopted. POMDR concentrates on helping dogs in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. Foster volunteers are the backbone of the organization and more foster volunteers are always needed.

At any given time, POMDR has approximately 80 dogs in their care and available for adoption.

POMDR also has a Helping Paw program and a Perpetual Care program. The Helping Paw program is designed to assist seniors with financial and physical help in caring for their dogs with the goal of keeping the dog with their guardian as long as possible. The Perpetual Care program helps dog guardians plan ahead for the care of their dog in case they are no longer able to care for their dog at some point in the future.

For more information about volunteering, adopting, or making a donation visit”www.peaceofminddogrescue.org or call 831-718-9122.

undergone final review for quality control, so is considered a provisional estimate and subject to change, however, the number of returning steelhead is far greater than what occurred in the first year after the end of the last major drought between 1987 and 1991, when only 15 returning adults were recorded at San Clemente Dam in 1992.

“I’d like to commend the hard work and dedication of our Steelhead Rescue Team, our Mitigation Program Staff and our project partners for creating the framework for these encouraging numbers,” said MPWMD General Manager Dave Stoldt. “The rain finally came and the fish are finally moving.”

The final steelhead run size estimate for the 2016 migratory season will be released to the public and resource management agencies when the data are fully reviewed and finalized. It is no longer possible to report the data on a continuous basis, now that the San Clemente Dam ladder and its fish counting station no longer exist. The District is also conducting periodic walks of 24 miles of the main stem Carmel River to look for steelhead nests, called redds. Data from the surveys will also be made publicly available after review.
