At right, Inside the offices of Cedar Street Times, jeans from the Robert Down Art In the Sky project awaited sorting. Summer Coe (below) spent her day off sorting donations given by Pacific Grove people to the Wine Country fire victims. By Katie Shain An installation art project became more than an art learning experience recently when students at Robert Down Elementary saw a portion of their materials sent to desperately needy wildfire victims in the environs of Santa Rosa only days after the projct came to life. Toolbox curriculum is the philosophy teachers of Robert Down School like to use as a method to teach lifelong learning. Mindfulness is the goal they aspire to teach and it includes interconnection, gratitude and lessons in understanding impermanence, that nothing lasts forever and that everything is in state of change. In beginning to teach their students “the four C’s” of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and most of all creativity, fifth grade teacher Stephanie Perlstein presented the idea of “something blue” to the Board and PTA to demonstrate this notion. Students were asked to donate blue

Equifax: The Tripoly Trap
We are trapped in the Triopoly; the three credit bureaus Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion have a lock on our financial lives and there are no keys. We cannot opt out. They scoop up more and more of our private personal information year after year without our consent and hawk it to whomever will buy it. Then, when they create errors or lose our data, we pay them so that we can fix the error for them which makes their databases more valuable—for them. It’s a great business model—for them. But what about we the people? Don’t we own that personal information? This is the central issue that must be settled if we are ever to have full control over our financial lives. Is it the people or the corporations that are sovereign in our financial matters? Hacked Again In response to the massive hack this summer, Equifax created a Wordpress website in a domain that was not even registered to Equifax for consumers to check if their private information had been stolen www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. But for 10 dollars and twenty minutes of work, a bogus phishing site was created www. securityequifax2017.com by a developer who wanted to show how foolish it was for Equifax to do that. Wordpress is notorious for security vulnerabilities. Then lo and behold, thinking it to be their own, Equifax actually tweeted consumers links to the bogus site. If this fake site had been created with malicious intent, then unwary consumers would have been snared in another cyber trap on
invitation from Equifax. But actually they were anyway. Security researchers discovered that the genuine Equifax restitution website had been hacked and had bogus links that downloaded malware onto consumers’ computers. It gets worse. Consumers who froze their credit with Equifax were given PINs to unfreeze that were based on time and date of the freeze—making them much easier for hackers to guess. The company’s efforts to mitigate damage caused by the breach actually exposed millions of Americans to even more risk according to computer security experts. Cyber Security Any Internet-connected computer or phone is vulnerable to being hacked, compromised, and completely taken over. The Internet landscape is wide open; it was designed that way. Even the little green “Secure lock” in your browser’s address bar had been spoofed in some browsers. Most of us are spared attacks by sheer force of numbers. We are small fish in a huge bowl, and uninteresting. Hackers typically go after the big fish–like Equifax–where there is a big payout. But as hacking tools become cheaper to buy and easier to use, this paradigm may change. The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team on Monday October 16 announced a vulnerability in the wireless protocol WPA2 that could allow an attacker to take control of any affected system. Monday’s nightmarish news means that virtually every Wi-Fi device using the popular WPA2 security standard

(about 60% of the world’s Wi-Fi networks) have been vulnerable to hacking including potential loss of IDs, credit card numbers, passwords, emails, and just about anything sent over the airwaves. Your modem, router, phone, and computer are all likely to be affected. Android devices are especially at risk. “The ‘secure’ Wi-Fi Standard has a Huge, Dangerous Flaw” headlines a Wired.com article. Think of what a cyber crook could do by combining data from the Equifax hack (SSN, address, etc.) with data from your router hack (account numbers, ID, passwords). It’s not pretty. Dear consumer, patch your modem, router, phone, and computer. Read the notification at US-CERT.gov. National Security Information can be weaponized. Will Staton in an essay on the web blog Medium writes: “While information has always been used as a tool to acquire the upper hand in war, we do not generally think of it as a weapon itself. It seems however, that modern communications technology, and our reliance upon technological systems in every aspect of our daily lives could radically alter this paradigm.” He goes on to speculate at what level would a simultaneous deployment of identity fraud paralyze our society? “Would it take the information of 10 million individuals, 20 million, 50 million? I don’t know the tipping point, but it isn’t difficult for me to imagine identity theft committed on a scale big enough to bring society to a standstill and freeze our ability to function in the 21st century technology-dependent world we have created.” How about 145.5 million? Surely some of these millions are in sensitive positions of power throughout our society: government, diplomatic, military, and corporate. Some surely deal with national security secrets and issues. Some may have personal issues that make them susceptible to blackmail or soft-power persuasion. Some may be just foolish and greedy. Is the financial security of over one-half of the adult population of the United States not a national security risk in and of itself? Stanton’s essay concludes with this thought: “… it is that underlying trend of collecting and centralizing (emphasis added) as much information about ourselves as possible that makes the use of information as a weapon increasingly likely.” In testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on Tuesday, Marc Rotenberg, President of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, stated: “Today our country is facing cyber-attacks from foreign adversaries, and it is the personal data stored by companies that is the target. When these companies engage in lax security practices or freely disclose consumer data without consent, they are placing not only consumers, but also our nation at risk.” A Scored Society Rotenberg outlined another danger centered on data brokers: “An invisible system of consumer profiling has emerged. We now face the specter of a ‘scored society’ where consumers do not have access to the most basic information about how they are evaluated. Data brokers now use secret algorithms to build profiles on every American citizen whether they have allowed their personal data to be collected or not.” These secret algorithms are used to determine interest rates on mortgages and credit cards, insurance rates, and even used to deny people jobs. Data brokers even scrape social media to score consumers based on factors such as their political activity on Twitter and their profiles on LinkedIn. Big Brother is growing up. The Congressional Grill The Senate Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee chaired by Michael Crapo (R-ID) gave Equifax’s ex-CEO Richard Smith a well-deserved 2-hour grilling over the massive data theft. Although Smith apologized to the American people many times, it was his actions—or lack of actions—that challenged his words with regard to the rights—or lack of rights—of the consumers whose private data his company grabs and sells. He did announce 5 free services available to all Americans, but he didn’t offer specifics as to how long the free service would last or details of exactly what they would do. The services: #1 Three-bureau monitoring; #2 Ability to lock their (presumably the consumer’s) file; #3 Ability to scan the Dark Web looking for social (presumably SSN) activity; #4 Access to our file for free (whatever that means); and #5 Insurance product that helps to recoup costs up to $1 million “trying to fight repair the credit.” He did not elaborate further on these. Additionally he announced a sixth product, a free Lock/Unlock for life, but didn’t furnish details on restrictions or arbitration clauses. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) put the central question to Smith: “Who owns this data?” Smith never answered. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) pointed out that this data theft is a huge opportunity for Equifax because seven million consumer victims signed up for one year of free credit monitoring offered by Equifax as a remedial

service. After that, if only one million sign up to buy another year at $17 per month, Equifax will earn 200 million dollars year after year. “Incentives in this industry are completely out of whack” she said. Smith rejected outright the notion that consumers should have the right to delete their private information from Equifax’s database. When Sherrod Brown (D-OH) pressed Smith on the issue of the forced arbitration clause that was originally part of Equifax’s free Credit Monitoring response to the hack, Smith said that it was a mistake and should have never been there—in other words, consumers should have a choice of arbitration or lawsuit. But to the follow-up question of why not give consumers the same choice for all of Equifax’s products, Smith just said that Equifax was following what is legal to do. In other words, the forced arbitration clause in all other of Equifax’s services remains, denying consumers the option of exercising their Fifth-Amendment rights to utilize the legal system to settle a dispute. Smith touted a new Equifax service slated to roll out in January 2018 that would allow consumers to lock and unlock their credit files for free for life. But when asked whether that service would be extended to cover the other two bureaus for those who were affected in Equifax’s hack, he declined to answer. The presumption is that consumers who were violated by Equifax will have to pay the other bureaus for complete credit-monitoring service – for life. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) asked Smith whether Equifax would compensate consumers for their financial loss due to identity theft from this breach. The silence was deafening. Smith’s final comments were that the 5 services and the free lock for life were the extent of their services—translated as “no”. When Senator Brown (D-OH) asked if it was fair that Smith left Equifax with a 90-million-dollar severance package while American consumers are left holding an identity-theft bag for the rest of their lives, Smith blithely replied that the board of directors set his compensation package. Brown pressed for an answer, but Smith repeatedly ducked the fairness question. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) asked what Smith would recommend to his successor. “Senator, We’ve always prided ourselves in being a trusted steward of data. The number one thing we gotta do now is to regain the trust of the consumer in America. We’re starting by offering these 5 services, offering this lifetime lock. It takes time; it takes time to regain that trust.” The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a survey Sep 8, 2016, well before the Equifax hack, and found that the three mostcomplainedabout companies in America were Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—the Credit Triopoly. That same day the Washington Post reported “Their files are full of obvious mistakes that the companies are in no rush to correct … they wield serious influence over our financial lives and futures.” The evidence for a “trusted steward” is hard to grasp here.

Fatality in accidents in Big Sur Suspect reached speeds over 100 mph while being pursued
On October 18, 2017, at approximately 1730 hours, a Monterey County Sheriffs deputy was pursuing a vehicle after attempting an enforcement stop on suspect’s wanted for several auto burglaries in the area. They were traveling on Highway 1 south of Palo Colorado in the Big Sur area. The suspect vehicle was an Acura and the deputy was driving a truck. The Acura accelerated away at speeds estimated over 100 mph and the truck could not keep up. Although the investigation is still underway to determine how the collision occurred, the suspect vehicle collided with 3/4 ton truck with a solo occupant causing major injuries to the driver. Another small utility vehicle driven by a solo occupant was struck receiving only property damage. Of the three suspects in the Acura, one received fatal injuries and two sustained major injuries. Out of the three suspects, the driver has not yet been determined. The deputy did not see the collision occur and there were no video recordings. CHP is conducting the collision investigation.

jeans – used – to the project and a barrel was placed in the lobby of the school to collect them. The donated blue jeans would ultimately be incorporated into a school-wide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) project and would become the ocean for the “Art for the Sky” event that took place on October 12. A huge otter, the school’s mascot, was sketched out on the playground. Students, wearing specifically colored T-shirts, became the color for the otter. The entire installation was filmed by a drone. The hope was that their students would take these tools, taught to almost all of them by former and beloved teacher, the late Jennifer Hinton, may her memory be a blessing. It’s hard to say what the only real story is here. Ms. Hinton, Stephanie Perlstein, the RDS Board, the moms and dads that serve their families and community, the RDS staff, or the many volunteers and behind the scenes contributors, the sponsors, or the image creator. But it can be said that it would never have become a visual reality here in Pacific Grove without the collaboration of all of the above. And at the end of the project, the jeans were collected and earmarked for local charities. But a fire in Wine Country intervened. With 41 deaths, ten of thousands evacuated and 6,000 homes destroyed, the needs of victims became paramount. Local volunteer Al Siekert decided he would take donations up to the victims and he put out the call for donations. When they heard the call, it was determined by school art project organizers that the jeans would be welcome there. Summer Coe delivered them to the newspaper office as Cedar Street Times had offered to become a collection point for donations. And the donations came. Over three days, the large plastic bags and piles of clothing began to fill the office. On Sunday, Oct. 15, Siekert left – after serving his customary breakfast to the homeless – with as many donations as his truck would hold. Webster Slate devised a method of getting the balance of the donations to Wine Country and Summer Coe, part of the art project, spent her day off sorting them out and labeling the bags, making herself invaluable to the poject. On Monday, Slate drove the donations halfway to Wine Countryand Neil Jameson took the load north. The balance of the donations were accepted by Lighthouse Fellowship which will hold a rummage sale on Sat., Oct. 28 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at 515 Junipero in Pacific Grove. Additional donations are gratefully accepted by the church, which will be funneling the proceeds to fire relief. Phone 831-3330636 with any questions about donations.

For lengthier descriptions and illustrations for these talks please see the Gentrain website. Wednesday, October 18, 2017 Gentrain Society Lecture: Quantifying How Farming Practices Impact the Nitrogen Cycle Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $3.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895 Monterey County supports a greater than $4 billion agriculture industry. There are economic, yield and environmental sustainability challenges associated with the nutrient intensive production of specialty crops. With the implementation of the 2012 Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program and the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act California growers face increased pressures to optimize on-farm practices to comply with water restrictions and increased water quality standards. Dr. Arlene Haffa, Associate Professor in the School of Natural Sciences at CSU Monterey Bay, will discuss this in context of the nitrogen cycle as it relates to agriculture. Dr. Haffa’s research collaborators include the NASA-CSUMB Cooperative that is using satellite data to monitor irrigation and fertilization, the UC Cooperative Extension who have developed tools to help with best management practices, staff and students at CSUMB, and local commercial growers who generously share their fields.

Help devoted fans of PBL celebrate: from Founder Harlan Watkins to the last of the members, Frank Wright, who passed away on Sept. 25. Ricketts, a marine biologist, was best known as the man John Steinbeck based his character Doc Ricketts on in the books “Cannery Row” and “Sweet Thursday.” After Ed Ricketts death in 1948, 15
men purchased Ricketts’ Lab from Harlan Watkins, to use as the Pacific Biological Laboratories social club -- where a group of men from different backgrounds would have dinners, engage in talk and listen to classical music. Those gatherings spawned the idea that eventually blossomed into the Monterey Jazz Festival. In 1993, the Men’s Club deeded the Lab to the City of Monterey.

‘Me Too’
Pearl McCullough: Monterey County’s Advocate for Abused Women By Al Saxe Reading Pearl McCullough’s book “A Mended Vessel” is an eye-opening experience, talking with her a life changing one. Congressman Jimmy Panetta joined the ranks of those moved by meeting this remarkable woman. He confided to me after his visit that he didn’t want to leave! No wonder. Pearl’s colorful visions of life in the Mountains of Appalachia and her beloved Granny are mesmerizing. Truthfully I often find myself humming the tune “Country Roads, Take Me Home” after one of our visits. Without question Pearl’s years with Granny laid the foundation for the rest of her life. It was Granny who rescued Pearl from her coal miner father as he was poised to place her in an institution. Overwhelmed with the loss of his wife and the care of seven children, Pearl’s father did not have the disposition or patience to deal with Pearl when she suddenly became speechless. A condition that lasted well over a year. Unknown to her father, Pearl’s silence was brought on when her trusted elementary school teacher raped her under the school house. Unfortunately this would be the first of many sexual abuses and hardships suffered upon Pearl in the years that followed. Granny with the patience of Job, taught many life long lessons to the frightened and fragile young girl. Pearl would follow her grandmother on long treks as Granny administered her self-taught medical skills to neighbors.These trips were long and tiring often requiring a day trip of more than 20 miles. On these visits Pearl marveled how the mountain people took care of each other. They were poor and yet they had everything! Everything that really counted… One winter a snow storm lasting for days buried Granny’s little mountain cabin. Granny, always unflappable, told the young Pearl not to worry. She assured the worried girl that “The mountain people
Congressman Jimmy Panetta (center) visited Monterey residents Pearl McCullough (right) and her husband Mack (left) in their Park Lane apartment. Congressman Panetta, a former prosecuting attorney, felt trongly that Pearl’s autobiography “A Mended Vessel,” which vividly described the numerous sexual abuses she suffered and overcame while growing up in the hills of Appalachia was a story that needed to be told. Panetta and his staff successfully lobbied to have Pearl’s book placed in the prestigious Library of Congress. would eventually come and dig them out”. Sure enough the next day Pearl awoke to the sounds of neighbors arriving to do just that! Pearl’s life now filled with peace and love would once again be shattered. One day she stayed back at the little cabin to mend the garden and feed the chickens while Granny went off to administer to a sick neighbor a couple of ridges over. It wasn’t long before Pearl heard the chickens making a commotion in the barn and went to investigate. Entering the barn she was attacked by a man and raped. With neighbors miles away, screams and struggles were useless and Pearl felt her life was endangered. When Granny returned home Pearl was not talking and Granny quickly sensed what had happened.Granny made
some hot soup for Pearl put her to bed and told her not get up until she returned. The old woman then took the hunting rifle near the stove and left. Late that night Granny returned and Pearl heard Granny muttering to herself “that skunk is not going to hurt anyone again.” Next spring when the snow melted word reached Granny that the body of a man was found at the bottom of a cliff. As the weeks passed Pearl did not show her pregnancy but she knew what was happening. One night as darkness set in Pearl went out into the woods found a stick and induced an abortion. Staggering to her cabin with blood-stained garments Pearl would once again be nursed to health and comforted by her beloved Granny.
After several months passed Pearl knew she would need to move on. It was a painful and tearful separation for Granny and Pearl but one Pearl felt she needed to do. As the years passed there would be more abuses and hardships but somehow Pearl was able to take the strength and values instilled in her by her Granny and survive. She also noticed that she was becoming an advocate for other abused women. Eventually Pearl would find her way to Carmel Valley with her two young daughters and work as an aide at a convalescent hospital. The uneducated Pearl now seeking a better life for her children and herself would often visit a used bookstore in Monterey to buy ten cent books to educate herself. It was not long before Pearl became a very potent activist for abused women. She would walk the streets of Monterey at night talking to the young girls forced into prostitution. She would take the girls to Denny’s for a cup of coffee, raise funds to pay their airfare home or provide them housing and jobs. Her effectiveness led to a pimp pulling a switchblade on her. Pearl did not back down then and will not now. Pearl’s compassion soon grew to include all those abused and down and out. She founded the first aids home for men on the central coast, counseled men on death row in Soledad, started an employment agency in Pacific Grove to raise funds for abused women, hosted a weekly radio show, started Operation Fishnet, and volunteered with her beloved husband Mack at the Yellow Brick Road Benefit shop. Pearl McCullough has lived the life of an abused woman, talked the talk in her book “The Mended Vessel,” and walked the walk on the streets of Monterey rescuing young women from their abusers. Pearl McCullough, now in her 95th year, will not stop until the abuse and degradation of women is ended in America and around the world. She asks you to join her by exercising your vote, your voice your time and your conscience.

Actor Gary Essendine, an aging but debonair rake, still leaves the ladies weak in the knees. Preparing for a tour, the self-obsessed matinée idol must contend with his long-suffering secretary, his estranged wife, a crazed young playwright, numerous women trying to seduce him… and a looming mid-life crisis! Join the theatre’s favorite leading man, as he finds himself caught between fawning ingénues, secret trysts and unexpected twists, in this dizzyingly funny and Tony Award winning British farce that The Wall Street Journal called “Noël Coward’s funniest and most perfectly wrought comedy.” About Noël Coward Known for his flamboyance and wit, British actor, songwriter, and playwright Noël Coward was born on December 16, 1899, in Teddington, England. His stage and film acting and directing career spanned six decades, during which he worked with the great performers of the day and starred in many of his own works. Best known for his comedies of manners, such as “Hay Fever,” “Private Lives” and “Blythe Spirit,” his plays remain popular today. Noël Coward was
known for using naturalistic conversation in his work and dealing with controversial subjects, including homosexuality. He was knighted in 1970, and spent his later years in Jamaica, a friend and neighbor of author Ian Fleming. Asked by Fleming to play the villainous Dr. No in the first James Bond film, Coward replied with a telegram, that read: “Dr. No?...No! No! No!”: “ Noël Coward died on March 26, 1973, in Jamaica.

‘Squirrel!’ No, public ownership of water is not a distraction Editor:
The Herald’s View (10/6/17) called the new effort to buy Cal Am a distraction from getting a new water supply. First of all, ownership and supply are two very separate and distinct issues. Neither one hinges on the other. Supply is short term. Ownership is long term. Whatever develops with supply will have to be incorporated into ownership proceedings. Second, call it a distraction. Call it a ground squirrel. Call it whatever. But those who call it anything cannot deny this fact: Cal Am is a monopoly using Peninsula water as a cash cow. The real question is not about distraction. It is ‘who is the ostrich?’ -– refusing to see the obvious. The Herald is not the only one playing ‘ostrich’. The next day (10/7/17), a paid commentary by the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses argued for a larger desal, and claimed how ‘most recent local water savings has (sic) come from initiatives undertaken by commercial businesses.” Somehow residential conservation was overlooked, which did not endear the Coalition to many local ratepayers. On Monday, October 16, the Mayors Authority met with the Water Management District. The Mayors voted 4 – 2 to not discuss the community opinion of Cal Am. All three complain that a new Measure for public ownership is a distraction from the much needed water supply. All three, and add Cal Am for a foursome, have been focused on water supply. During the Measure O campaign in 2014, Cal Am and the others
Hospitalities paying half the rate for water that homeowners do Editor:
Open letter to John Narigi - Hotelier and local businessman, whose primary interest is the Monterey County Hospitality Association, not the pocketbooks of the local residents. Dear Sir: your instructions to employees of the Monterey Plaza hotel to attend one-on-one, educational" meetings with a hotel executive, subject, "support of Cal Am and its business interests," verges on employer-employee coercion or tampering; both are illegal. Why are you going to the extent of "educating" your employees, one-at-atime? Is it because your commercial water rates are about half the rate Cal Am charges homeowners? Take meter charges, of which CA has over 40,000. A resident pays $58.50/mo for a 1" meter — the commercial charge is $49.22. A 6" meter comparison is $2202.91/mo - commercial $984.37. There are seven other meter sizes, all with big differentials. Over time under municipal ownership both homeowners and business owners/managers will have lower water bills, fewer surcharges, than they will have under continued private, for profit, ownership. Now is the time for change in water distribution ownership and management. The future holds no promise under present ownership. Roland Martin Monterey Peninsula
were confident that a new supply was close at hand. But here we are 4 years later, and still Cal Am flounders. Other supply projects have caught and passed Cal Am’s desal. The foursome must spend a lot of time talking to themselves. Because they seem deaf to ratepayer complaints. Do they care? Ratepayers have been vociferous. Who is listening? Public Water Now is the largest ratepayer advocate community organization on the Peninsula. Others are WRAMP (Water Ratepayers Association for Monterey Peninsula), previously called WaterPlus; and a new group, Citizens for Just Water, representing ratepayer interests in the Marina area. All three participate in CPUC proceedings. All three hear from ratepayers all the time, and the messages have been simple and clear – Cal Am is too costly, is arrogant in its approach to water, hides behind CPUC rulings, has a history of failure, and is no longer welcome. Back to the starting point. Where is the distraction? The Herald, Business Coalition, Mayors Authority, all do not seem distracted. They seem focused. But they have not been successful. So are ‘they’ actually distracted? Or is there another motivation? My perspective is that all four want a distraction. They want a scapegoat. They want to have something to blame if Cal Am flat out fails. They want to be able to say that the community has “again” not marched to the ‘leadership’ powers that be. They need an excuse to explain to the State Water Board why the CDO needs another modification, or why Cal Am cannot get it right, or why ‘they’ cannot get it right. Here is the obvious. Ratepayers are upset. Ratepayers have been gouged. Ratepayers are reacting. It is time for a change. It is time for Cal Am to leave town. It is time for public ownership. Since the ostrich ‘leadership’ will not lead, ratepayers will. In summary, ratepayers are being hammered. Monopoly water is too expensive and wrong. Public water is more affordable and right. Look for a public water petition and sign. You will be doing the entire region and the future a big favor. George T. Riley Managing Director Public Water Now Monterey
Time for the public to step up
The opportunity for the Mayors to “step up” and to develop a plan (to protect the interests and finances of THEIR constituents) to independently address the water problems of the Monterey Peninsula is passing away. There is an old saying, “Doing “nothing” is a plan”. Now is the time for the public to spend its efforts collecting signatures to advance its plan for a “publicly owned” water system that will lower our monthly water bills, and cure the thirty years of environmental damage that Cal Am has caused both to the Carmel River and now to the freshwater aquifers and water rights holders of the Salinas Valley.

Pavel’s Bakerei: Why they don’t make more Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Pacific Grove
You have probably all been drawn in to Pavel’s Backerei on Forest Ave., just down the street from City Hall, by the amazing smell wafting from the kitchen in the mornings or at least been curious why there’s always a line up the street of this unassuming establishment. Well I’m here to tell you a little bit about this small-town bakery. And encourage you to check it out if you haven’t already or remind you to go again. I drove by Pavel’s early the other morning before a run on the recreation trail, the light was on in the back but they were not open for business. So I went for my run—which was pleasantly encouraged by the thought of fresh pastries—and came back to pick up some goodies. The lovely Gretchen, who has been faithfully em-
ployed at Pavel’s Backerei for 15 years, assisted me in the typical Pavel’s fashion- taking my order down on a mini yellow legal notepad and pen. I say this to specify that “yellow legal notepad” is not the name of some new device or tablet you may have missed. I ordered a loaf of farmer’s bread, a chocolate croissant, and a berry cheese Danish. I told Gretchen I was writing a piece for the paper and she encouraged me to talk to Paul, the owner, who happened to be stocking the display case as I browsed and graciously took the time to answer all of my questions. While I waited, a woman leaned over saying, “I can give you a quote.” “Oh yea!? What’s that?” “For many many many years my husband and I came

up from Southern California for every 3-day weekend and we always came here. One day, over an apple fritter he said, ‘that’s it, we’re moving here.’” And they did! This bakery has the power to make people relocate their lives and I am not surprised. I sat outside with Paul and asked what he would like me to know about his bakery. “What everybody wants to know is, why don’t we make more?” He explained that in their style of baking the dough takes time. So all the dough for the week is made up on Saturday and left to rest on Sunday and Monday under refrigeration. This allows the dough to age and gives the product flavor. He explained that this is similar to the method for making sourdough but not quite the same because sour croissants are frowned upon. Once the dough is made up, it has to go back and rise and so their productivity is based on refrigeration. “We do as much as we can.” He said. I actually quite like that premise. It’s nice to not have access to everything—especially chocolate ganache filled croissants the size of a dinner plate—at all times. It is a special treat. Paul and his wife do all of the baking along with an apprentice, Josie, who graduated from Pacific Grove High School not too many years ago. So how did it all start? Paul learned to bake from his father and various European bakers that they housed when he was a child in San Francisco. His father’s best friend owned a bakery and when he was drafted to WWII, Paul’s father bought it. It was a three-story building, the bakery being on the first floor, boarding for the bakers on the second floor, and the top floor for Paul’s family. The family sponsored bakers from all over Europe and in doing so, they learned diverse techniques for baking and pastry making. What does the name mean? Pavel, as you can imagine, is the Slavic cognate for Paul. Backerei means bread bakery in German. And when Paul got started as a baker in Carmel behind Forge in the Forest, the building there had “backerei” painted on the wall and the owner said he had to use that so it stuck! And it must run in the family because Paul’s sister and her husband own Layers! If you are not familiar with Layers, I recommend you look into ordering a cake from them for your next event. Pavel’s has killer pastries and amazing breads. In the past few years they have started making sandwiches on breads specially made to complement each sandwich and they are wonderful! Paul said and I greatly appreciated the notion that, “Bakeries are like art galleries. Every one is different.” He is passionate about his technique of baking and it is obviously working for him. He sells a delicious and great product. I grew up in Pacific Grove and attended Pacific Grove public schools. I remember regularly leaving school at Robert Down when the bell rang at 3:10 p.m. and, knowing that my mom wouldn’t be leaving work until 4:30pm, I would walk down to Pavel’s with my friend Gio. We would buy chocolate croissants and milk across the street at Grove Market and walk to Lover’s Point to eat them, sitting on the rock wall and dangling our legs over the edge, careful of the seagulls. This gave me enough time to clean up my hands and face from the chocolate ganache and walk to the PG Public Library where my mom would find me deep in a book and ready to be picked up and taken home for dinner.

The Phantom
Jane Roland
Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts I fell in love, an extramarital affair, nineteen years ago. I was totally and absolutely committed and my husband did not object. When I called and told him about my love he suggested that I bring him home so that he might meet the others in our family. He was a few weeks old, a gold bundle of fur with no tail. A man who had been lunching in Big Sur saw a container on the side of the road when walking to his car. It was a box filled with kittens. On his way out to the shelter he stopped to see if anyone at the benefit shop could advise him, one of the little guys was a marmalade Manx, I picked him up and was smitten... People who were shopping went home with feline treasures, the rescuer took one. When he left his box was empty. It was a Friday in June 1995. At the time there were other creatures in our house that were there because they needed homes. A yellow lab, cockapoo, and two cats. I took my new love home... He became my best friend. At first, we could never find him. I made a comment “he is a phantom,” and Michael Crawford he became, “Mikey” for short. I loved him as I have never loved another animal and it was reciprocal. He spent the nights on my lap and followed me around the house. At the end of the month I had a birthday lunch for a friend, twelve women sitting in the living room passed the kitten around. He didn’t seem to mind and sniffed inquisitively at the martinis and wine. One of the guests was so enchanted that, a few weeks later, when she saw a painting of a gold cat by Belle Yang, she bought it. Belle wasn’t inclined to paint the tail out, so Ruth Mary used her imagination. She adored the little feline and spent more time cuddling him when she came to play bridge than she did paying attention to her cards. When she died I was given the art work and it now hangs in our house. When there was a bridge game, he was the fifth. He was the subject of a painting by our daughter, Jennie. When Mike was two years old, our grandson, Justin, brought a kitten over. “Nana, if you don’t take him, I will never see him again”. “But, Justin, we have three cats” I protested weakly. This little black creature became Joe Montana, Joey for short, he and Mike were inseparable. One would trap a gopher behind a pot; they would take turns standing guard. Nap and night time, they slept, curled up together, the black and the gold. While Mike was a home-body, a nester, Joe had an adventurous streak, and was a bit of a voyeur. Becky Flavin was so amused when he went over and peered through the window at her cat, Archie, that she had him immortalized by Belle Yang in a little painting, a black face, on the porch looking in. In March of 2001 we adopted a young shelter chocolate lab who intimidated the felines and they moved to the bedroom. Joe started disappearing for long times, taking refuge at the Flavin’s who lived next door. However, he was around enough to offer company to his buddy, Mike. When Toby McGuire moved in (another feline foundling needing a home), Joe left for good. He wooed the Flavins, but Becky wouldn’t bite...
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
he belonged at home, “his” home. Frustrated, he tried out the Clemons across the street. They were “cat less” at the time and, while they attempted to dissuade Joe’s intrusion, it became obvious that he had no intention of leaving. They caved in. Joe remained with his new family until his demise a few years ago. I guess he never looked back...we saw him from time to time, across the street, down on the corner, but he didn’t come home again and Mike missed him terribly... We were sorry he left, but one cannot dictate to a cat. I was Mike’s person, he would never leave. He was lonely and would awaken me at night head butting. I moved him into the “dormitory” with misgivings, soon he had taken over. He would leave the family room in the morning when John (a very early riser) got up, and jump over the fence; from there he came into the bedroom window to finish sleep time with me, generally between me and the newspaper. When I went into the “office room” to check my morning email, he followed me and shared the milk of my cereal. He was waiting when I returned from work. Mike had suffered from medical problems over the years. Dr. Bill Cleary kept him going. There were a couple of surgical procedures which he survived, In March five years ago, he started losing weight, but his routine didn’t change. In fact, even after “Dr. Bill” said he was terminal he was out the back door over the 8-foot fence and into the bedroom window. We said goodbye July 16, 2007 and he took the last ride to his doctor. I still miss him terribly, but know he is in a happier place, playing with those who have gone before, including Joey, “God speed, Mikey you will live in my heart”. Epilogue…the day Mikey took his last ride a woman came into the AFRP Shop with a five-week-old Siamese mix kitten for whom she needed a home. When I got home that night, Sammy was there to greet me. (called Samson because we had the Doxi mix Lilah for Delilah). He was skittish, really didn’t like anyone and Toby really didn’t care for him. After the mandatory time inside John let him out of the family room door. He ran around the house, jumped the fence, into the bedroom window, and the bed to help me read the paper. And so, it went for nine years. On the day before Thanksgiving last year he came in the window, enjoyed the paper, left for his morning ministrations and we never saw him again. He adored me, and would never have abandoned his “mother”. Jane Roland – gcr770@aol.com 831-649-0657

Al and Friends Breakfast for the Hungry Keepers of our Culture Michele Barat Many thanks to all the kind people who contributed to the content and the success of our new community book, “Life in Pacific Grove Book#1.” While every effort was made to include all stories as submitted, a few errors were made, which are being corrected for future printings. I apologize for the errors in the Al and Friends Breakfast for the Hungry story and below is the corrected text by author and volunteer Michele Barat. Al does wonderful work, and while the breakfast takes place in Monterey, donations are mainly from the residents of Pacific Grove. Breakfast for Al’s Friends The idea for the Breakfast was conceived by Al while attending the Beach Church at Window on the Bay, Del Monte Beach, which was started by Pastor Brian Bajari. Pastor Brian ministered to people every Sunday and passed out donuts. Al Siekert attended and the idea came to him that the hungry people gathering needed a nutritious breakfast. Since 2015 Al and volunteers have served more than 10,000 breakfasts—every Sunday and holidays to 30-60 people, 8:30-10:00, rain or shine. Al cooks the hot, main course and volunteers make fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, and baked goods. Dave and his young daughter bring hot coffee. There is always orange juice and bottled water. Al says it’s “5-Star Michelin food for the hungry. The cost for the Breakfast is covered by donations at the MPC and Pacific Grove farmers markets, and in front of Charlie
Higuera’s Grove Market. Charlie and his staff support our cause and we collect donations every Saturday. Many other local businesses contribute to our success. If I had to come up with a mission statement it would be “Serving good food to the hungry, with dignity and respect.” Everyone that attends is very appreciative and we all have a really good time. In 2016 Al Siekert was nominated for a Jefferson Award, representing Pacific Grove. He has worked tirelessly for this cause and it has grown into something we can all be proud of. Al has lived in Pacific Grove for over 30 years and Sunday Breakfast is almost solely supported by the generous and kindhearted citizens of Pacific Grove. Life in Pacific Grove Books If the story you previously submitted is not in Book #1, please re-send your story by November 1 to lifeinpacificgrove@ gmail.com. It will appear in an updated printing December 1.. If you have not yet contributed your story, but wish to—or if you are in Book #1 and wish to contribute another story—please go to lifeinpacificgrove.com and submit your story using the Book#2 submission form. Book #2 will be released October 6, 2018. Currently you may purchase Book#1 at the PG Library, Bookworks, Ketchams’ Barn, and The Butterfly Cottage Botanicals.

Draft Measure X Senior and Disabled Transportation Grant Program Guidelines Released for Public Review The Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC) Board of Directors approved the release of the draft “Measure X Senior & Disabled Transportation Grant Program Guidelines” for public review. The purpose of the Measure X Senior and Disabled Transportation Program is to increase transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities to support their ability to live independently in their homes and communities. In accordance with Measure X policies, this program is intended to fund non-profit transportation services to support seniors and persons with disabilities. This grant program is part of the measure’s regional safety, mobility and walkability program.

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) announced that the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Trail received $7.5 million in new SB 1 funding for the Active Transportation Program from the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The award is to fund the construction of the “Moss Landing Bicycle/Pedestrian Path & Bridge” segment of the sanctuary trail. “This is exciting news,” said Debbie Hale, the executive director of TAMC. She added, that “this project, now fully funded, will provide a safe link for bicyclists and pedestrians to get from the north Moss Landing harbor to the south Moss Landing Harbor.” Most importantly, the bridge and pathway will be a critical link in the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail, which will eventually be a contiguous bike and pedestrian path stretching from Lover's Point in Pacific Grove to Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz. It is one of the first projects to benefit from the new SB 1 funding program. Prior to its passage, cities and counties were delaying or canceling projects such as
the sanctuary trail due to lack of funding. Now that it’s fully funded, the County of Monterey can move forward on acquiring permits, needed right-of-way and easements for the project. The Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail is a collaborative effort between public agencies, non-profit organizations and the public to construct a trail that would span Monterey Bay from Lovers Point in Pacific Grove to Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz. Its promotes public use and enjoyment of the Monterey Bay shoreline as well as provides a safe, accessible scenic trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users free of automobile traffic. It is also a link in the 1,200 mile California Coastal Trail, connecting Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties with the rest of the California Coast.

Pineapple Free for All Tom Stevens
Otter Views Recent beach days of warm October sunshine, azure water and translucent waves have altered the Saturday morning routine. Normally it’s wake up, water the flowers, feed peanuts to the blue jays, then make oatmeal. Now it’s wake up, check the tide chart, struggle into wetsuits, and seek boogie-boarding waves. Because autumn surf and warm days are transient, breakfast and blue jays sometimes have to wait. One upshot is that brunch has become an après-surf fall-back. Luckily, PG and Monterey abound in great brunch places. Some even offer a tomato or fruit alternative to the hash browns. A handsomely presented cup of fresh sliced fruit prompted a pineapple story. “Here,” I said, plying a fork. “You have the pineapple slices.” “Thanks. But don’t you want any?” “They’re okay, but I’ve eaten a lifetime of pineapple.” I speared out some melon and cantaloupe, then a raspberry, a blueberry, some purple grapes, a strawberry and some kiwi slices. “Besides, these California fruits seem more exotic. Look, every color of the rainbow.” “Exotic? Pineapple is exotic,” she said. “It’s the fruit of kings, so rare back in the day it was a gift of royal hospitality. Furniture makers even carved them into their pieces. You’ve seen pineapple finials?” “Not that I recall,” I said. “But I have seen pineapples strewn for a mile along a roadside.” The island of Maui ceded its pineapple business decades ago to Thailand and The Philippines, where acreage and cheap labor are abundant. But when I reported for the island paper back in the 1970s, “pine” as the locals called it, still rivaled sugar as an export crop. One morning the phone rang in what we staffers optimistically called the “news room.” Resort development and real estate sales aside, there wasn’t much news being made on Maui back then. “Hey Maui News! I’m calling from Kuau Store,” a voice exclaimed, referencing a small town in pineapple country. “Get out here quick! There’s pineapples all over Hana Highway!” Snatching my notebook and camera, I sped from the newspaper office to Kuau, a short drive in the days before Maui had stoplights. I screeched up to the store in time to see a mud-spattered pineapple truck idling along the road shoulder nearby. The driver’s side door was open. A forlorn-looking driver stood in the cab, one arm hooked around the doorframe, the other raised to shade his eyes from the midmorning sun. As he squinted back down the road in deep sorrow, I snapped his photo. I wish I had it now. Rounding the back of the truck, it was easy to see what had happened. The battered tailgate had somehow jolted free from its latches and swung open as the truck rumbled along. By the time the driver realized his load was light and pulled over, a mile of pineapples marked his route. Within minutes, his loss became the public’s gain as vehicles of all sorts pulled over to load up on free fruit. I hustled down the line, snapping photos and interviewing people on the fly. “It’s free for all!” laughed a hearty Portuguese woman named Mary Burguess, who was collecting fruit for jelly-making. “The way they sell pineapple in the market, it’s so expensive we can’t buy. So this is wonderful!” A little further up the road, small ranchers Joe and Eva Solomon were tossing the last of several hundred pineapples into the bed of their pickup. “It’s all wasted already,” Joe reasoned happily. “So I’m goin’ feed ‘em to my cattle.” The scene repeated for a mile or more as delighted motorists swung their cars onto the shoulder, popped their trunks, and loaded up on the fruit of kings. Two lady tourists staggered past, arms laden with pineapples. They paused long enough to say: “Arizona,” but they must have been thinking: “This IS island hospitality!” Backpacker Brian Hartwell of California was on foot, so he carried his pineapples down to the ocean overlook and enjoyed a Hawaiian breakfast by the sea. Meanwhile, city-bound traffic slowed to a crawl as astonished drivers squished their way through an estimated 10,000 pounds of sweet, sticky, ripe fruit. Pineapples were everywhere: chunk style, whole fruit, niblets, slices, juice and mash (mostly mash). By the time a county fire truck arrived to clean up the mess, most of the undamaged fruit was long gone, but plenty of work remained. While police directed traffic, some firefighters blasted the roadway with hoses. Others walked down the road kicking recalcitrant pineapples onto the shoulder with their boots. Like the “pucky sweeper” who follows parade horses, the unit’s lone fireman recruit trailed everyone. Disconsolately swinging a hoe, he attacked the pineapple remnants that had eluded the hoses and boots. It was a long row to hoe.

Homeless Hotspots—Part VII
Will Homeless Town lose Burger King Ministry for Houseless Women?
A homeless hotspot is any place unsheltered people hang in or hang out in order to hang on. Ending this series with revelation of a homeless hangout most locals never knew existed points this “Homeless Hotspots” series toward its denouement, as new series “In Their Own Words” shapes up for November. If you don’t know Lois Varner, meet her now! She founded her one-woman Burger King Ministry. It’s on hiatus in October, pending possible closure while two vital questions remain unanswered. First, will the new managers of Burger King at 1090 Fremont Blvd., Seaside agree to continue the weekly project benefitting homeless women on Monday mornings between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.? Second, will the grant money for which Lois has applied under sponsorship of her church be approved by the grantor, the Fund for Homeless Women, a field fund of the Community Foundation of Monterey County? If yes, Burger King Ministry should resume before Thanksgiving. Lois Varner, retired public health nurse who now serves as director of outreach ministry at Community Church in Carmel Valley, and Judy Pieken, Lois’s partner who helps keeps the roster and other records straight, hope for a positive outcome. Here’s the story as Lois tells it: “The Burger King Ministry” by Lois Varner Several years ago, while dining at a fast food restaurant, I noticed an older woman being turned away. . . . She was asking to use the facilities. As she left, she reached into the trash bin and located part of a burger. She ate it as she quickly walked away. Her blouse was stained. Her pants

were torn. She wore only one tennis shoe and one regular shoe, and her hair desperately needed a shampoo. I spoke to others at nearby fast food places and discovered that the management policies seemed to be: “only open to paying customers.” I had recently received a windfall check of $2,000 and decided to buy fast food gift cards to distribute to those women wandering on Fremont Blvd. between fast food establishments. These cards allowed them to buy a meal, use the facilities, and sit in a warm place during inclement weather.

Several months later the management at Burger King agreed to let me use a booth to meet some of the older women in the area who eventually also used gift passes to a fitness spa which offered them showers . . . . The Salvation Army provided some passes for use at local motels. By this time my local church was also donating clothes, flashlights, sleeping blankets and even tents.

Non-profit church sponsor gets grant In 2015, the Community Foundation of Monterey County provided a Fund for Homeless Women grant of several thousand dollars to my non-profit church sponsor. This grant paid for gift food cards at several fast food places, plus Safeway. I also purchased laundry coupons at a local laundry mat. . . this addition made it possible for a number of women to have a safe place to shower, wear clean clothes, eat food per gift cards, use various safe sleeping places. . . . I also purchased MST cards for those needing them for transportation to a job, to a medical appointment, etc. There have been times when a MST recipient has used her card to be safe and warm at night. The overall goal was to support these women who had lost a home and/or a job, which then spiraled them into having to sleep in trash cans or in very dangerous tent camps. On the job at 92 I have found much gratification from both recruiting local employers and assisting the women to succeed when finally hired. My oldest homeless woman, age 92, is still working a “sit down job” obtained last year. The roster of women (average age 64) numbered about 12 in the beginning and has risen to about 70 this past year. Twenty-one women from this group are now working again and paying for very low cost (safe) shelter. Blessings from one who is grateful not to be homeless. Lois. How to contact Lois Varner To meet Lois, attend the Friends of Homeless Women, outreach arm of the Fund for Homeless Women, meeting on Wed., Nov. 8, 10 a.m., St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 136 12th St., Pacific Grove or e-mail her at loisvarner@aol.com . The program, an update on Lapis Road camping north of Marina, will wind down this series that began with news of a 90-day extension allowing campers to remain until Nov. 30. While Lois’s Burger King Ministry is in abeyance, several non-profits initially funded by the Fund for Homeless Women are offering help, including the Gathering for Women, One Starfish Safe Parking Program and Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) for Women.
