PG&E Investigating Outage Cause
In the middle hours of the morning on Sunday, October 17, around 55,000 residents across the Monterey Peninsula and beyond, experienced a sudden loss of electrical power that for some lasted well into well into the evening on Sunday. The outage was a surprise to many, as weather conditions across the peninsula were calm, with few clouds in the sky, little wind and almost no precipitation recorded that day. The outage affected most areas of the Peninsula including Pacific Grove, Carmel, Monterey, Seaside, Castroville, Carmel Valley, and surrounding areas. According to Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) spokeswoman Mayra Tostado, an electric transmission tower and high voltage power line physically came down that morning near PG&E’s electric yard in Moss Landing. Tostado said the company has hired an independent investigation firm, Exponent, Inc. to do a complete analysis of the incident and identify its cause. As of Tuesday, Oct. 20 personnel were on the site and were still conducting their review. Tostado did confirm some failure in the tower’s base was associated with the outage. “Preliminary analysis suggests that the failure occurred where the tower leg connects with the stub on the tower,” Tostado said. “The stub is heavy angle steel used to join the concrete tower footing to the steel tower leg.” According to Tostado, the tower that failed Sunday was installed in September of this year and released into service just over one week ago.Tostado also denied any explosion or damage to transformers occurred during the outage, as was reported in other media. “We have no indication there was an explosion. When damage to this type of high voltage equipment happens, a powerful, loud and hot electric flash occurs,” Tostado said. “The only equipment that failed was what I mentioned earlier, the tower and power lines that came down.” Tostado stated PG&E is waiting to hear back from Exponent Inc. to determine what preventative steps to take following the incident on Sunday. PG&E also accepts claims for damages related to outages and other service failures including damages for lost wages or revenue, personal injury, property damage, and food spoilage, and accepts claims on their website at www. pge.com/claims or by telephone at 1-800743-5000. As the promised — and hoped-for —

deadlines passed on Sunday, people in Pacific Grove found ways to cope and to pass the time until the power came back on. At the Classic Motorcycle Museum on Forest Ave., skylights provided natural spotlights on the displays and people came in groups, beginning at 10:00 a.m. They were looking for something to do since their plans had been spoiled, so they turned up two hours before regular opening time on a Sunday morning. Across the street, the generator at the Pacific Grove Police station roared and belched and gave a feeling of security as citizens realized they were still protected by the men and women in blue. People joked about going over there for coffee and doughnuts in a reversal of the normal meme. Barbara Bruhn said the biggest difference for her was navigating through Carmel and Pacific Grove with no stoplights operating -- and her regular grocery stores being closed. As late as Tuesday evening, there was still a technician working on the stoplight at Sinex and Forest in Pacific Grove where a blinking red light had heralded a four-way stop. Temporary stop signs had been in place Monday morning, and drivers seemed to take the change in stride. Polite and patient, they took their turns. Tom Stevens, in his column “Otter Views” in Cedar Street times this week said that the lack of little red and green LED tell-tales that normally blink persistently in the dark at his home gave him a sense of disorientation.

California housing market won’t slow down in 2016
Source: Inman California’s housing market will continue to improve into 2016, but a shortage of homes on the market and a crimp in housing affordability also will persist, according to the California Association of Realtors®’ (C.A.R.) “2016 California Housing Market Forecast.” The C.A.R. forecast sees an increase in existing home sales of 6.3 percent next year to reach 433,000 units, up from the projected 2015 sales figure of 407,500 homes sold. Sales in 2015 also will be up 6.3 percent from the 383,300 existing, single-family homes sold in 2014. 0C.A.R.’s forecast projects growth in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product of 2.7 percent in 2016, after a projected gain of 2.4 percent in 2015. The state’s unemployment rate should decrease to 5.5 percent in 2016 from 6.3 percent in 2015 and 7.5 percent in 2014. The average for 30-year, fixed mortgage interest rates will rise only slightly to 4.5 percent but will still remain at historically low levels. The California median home price is forecast to increase 3.2 percent to $491,300 in 2016, following a projected 6.5 percent increase in 2015 to $476,300. This is the slowest rate of price appreciation in five years. C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young commented, “The foundation for California’s housing market remains strong, with moderating home prices, signs of credit easing, and the state continuing to lead the nation in economic and job growth.” Roughly 18 percent stated they never looked for better rates or prices on loans.

Hootenanny or Wing Ding, It’s All Fun in Pacific Grove
On Nov. 14. the Pacific Grove Hootenanny will be singing the songs that connected gospel and blues to the beginnings of rock music, and will also begin their 19th year by playing some favorite folk and country tunes. The public Hootenanny will be held from 7-9:30 p.m. at the Pacific Grove Art Center, 568 Lighthouse Ave. This is a free event—but donations to the nonprofit Art Center are appreciated. This community sing-along and open jam session combines 30-70 singers with 10-15 instrumentalists and provides songbooks with words and chords to over 230 folk, blues, gospel, and classic rock tunes. How did Hootenannies begin? Here's some history from Vic Selby, the coordinator: While the word itself originates from an Indiana expression denoting a “loose or unorganized gathering,” the modern hootenanny came to life in the late '50s when Woody Guthrie used the term to label the acoustic jam sessions and group sing-alongs that were the backbone of the folk music revival of the early '60s. Pete Seeger says he encountered the word when he and Guthrie played at a New Dealer fundraiser and recalled that the name won out by a nose over another word for an unidentified thingy, "wingding." The classic “Hoots” that were held on most college campuses were popular until the dual competition of Motown and psychedelic rock pushed folk music back
into isolated living rooms and small clubs. The bi-monthly hootenannies at the Pacific Grove Art Center have been happening for the last 18 years.These community musical events have raised more than $6,000 in donations for the Art Center and have provided a unique experience for those participating. The 235-page songbook is comprised of folk, blues, country, jazz, and classic rock tunes that most people know - and the main objective is to have fun with few musical “rules” to dampen enthusiasm. The most amazing aspect of Hootenanny is that it is a truly synergizing experience. It combines the opportunity to read some great poetry, keep rhythm, satisfy the longing for harmony, and dance – all in one package. This expression of all four great human symbol systems (Language, Mathematics, Music, and Art) at one time is rare indeed! The bi-monthly community singalong and open jam honors a different singer, (e.g., B.B. King, Ronnie Milsap, Bob Dylan, et. al.) at each Hootenanny. This event is free with songbooks with words and chords provided. For info contact Vic Selby, 375-6141 or vselby@sbcglobal.net. Since the atmosphere is open to individual creative effort (go ahead and let loose) combined with a congenial social effort (at least they tune up), Hootenanny is a complete uplifting human experience.

Laura Peet Cop Log
Cop Log 10/9-10/16 Bark Bark Bark Report
Dogs Missing their Owners A neighbor reported dogs barking from a residence where the owners were out of town. On Pacific Ave. Passive Aggressive Noise Disturbance A man reported his neighbor left a radio on very loudly while he went out. His dogs were also barking, possibly because the radio was bugging them, too. The neighbor had recently been cited for a barking dog complaint and for having too many dogs. The man who made the noise complaint believes the radio was left on to passive aggressively retaliate for the original complaint. When the officer spoke to the owner of the dogs, she agreed to turn down the radio but believed her dogs should be allowed to bark. Puppies for Sale? A citizen reported a woman for selling puppies in the park on Forest Ave. The person who alerted the authorities thought the puppies appeared sick and shaking. The woman with the puppies was approached by officers and stated that she had taken the puppies to the park to get some air and was not trying to sell them. She said the puppies were sick from the car ride. The officers found the puppies to be in good health and they were released to the woman. Found Dog A dog was found on Pine Ave. and brought to the police station. The dog was microchipped and the owner was contacted. The dog was not licensed, so the owner paid the one-year license fee and received a warning citation for the dog at large. Dog Off Leash Incites Dispute On Chestnut St. A woman reported that another woman that lives nearby had recently cited her for her dog being off leash. Earlier this week, the woman was preparing to walk her dog (with a leash), but stopped to talk to her neighbor beforehand and allowed the dog to roam outside of her house while she talked. The woman who had previously filed the complaint walked by at this time and used salty language to tell her to put her dog on a leash. Once she and her dog were on the walk, she went to the woman’s house to talk to her about the issue. She was not welcomed and was told, again with colorful language, to get off her property. Pack of Coyotes Sighted A woman had the bejesus scared out of her when she witnessed a pack of four coyotes attack a deer at the intersection of Del Monte and Quarterdeck. The coyotes left the area soon after the officers arrived. The deer was DOA. Mountain Lion Attack A deer was killed by a mountain lion on Ocean View Blvd. Animal Attack A resident heard cat screams around 10:30pm. The following morning, officers found a deceased cat that had clear indications of a predator attack.

More light my mean coming darkness In trying to prove its worth to everyone living on the peninsula, Coast Valley Gas And Electric Company is offering what appears to be outstanding prices on electrical devices. This month, for instance, Edison Mazda lamps1, developed by Thomas Edison and sold by through General Electric Company, are being offered at bargain-basement pricing. Coast Valley will sell you a lamp advertised to produce more than three times the light of a regular bulb while consuming less than 1/3 the electricity. Coast Valley is offering a ten watt bulb for 30¢. A 100 watt bulb costs 90¢. Sounds like a good deal, right? Well… maybe. Coast Valley is underpricing certain items in order to outsell long-time, area merchants. Culp Bros. provides a good example. Until recently, Culp Bros. sold Mazda lamps at reasonable prices, which meant about double the price asked by Coast Valley. However, as soon as Coast Valley has wrapped up the market, prices are guaranteed to rise. Perhaps we should all buy from Coast Valley … and hand over the keys to every Pacific Grove business while we are at it. Where do we want our money to stay? Here in the Grove or over in Salinas where Coast Valley makes its home? Think shoppers, think! Support local merchants! Garage praised for safety The California Auto Mobile Driver’s Association decided to name the Pacific Grove Garage as one of the finest in the state. Located on Grand just above Lighthouse, the Pacific Grove Garage was constructed to be theft proof and fireproof. Left at the garage overnight, your vehicle is kept secure by a double lock system. With its work area all on one floor, Pacific Grove Garage is the largest, single-floored repair facility in the state. John “Dixie” Moore, an employee, was asked which sort of auto mobile he most enjoyed working on. John shrugged. “Makes no difference at all. Bring them on. We’ll tackle just about anything!” American soldier shot The United States government demanded of Mexico the return of the body of a slain American soldier. The soldier, name withheld temporarily, was said to have been carrying out guard duty when he was shot. A cohort said the soldier was unable to return even a single bullet before being slain. However, President Huerta said that the man had been executed as a spy and his body burned. Secretary Bryan, to whose office word of the killing was wired, said this explanation was hokey and should be ignored. The American government called on Brazilian peace delegates to let Mexican officials know they were acting foolishly. Corporal Jackson Dirksom, an infantryman at the Presidio, said that he was packed up and raring to go. Dirksom said: “America needs some revenge!” No tipping, thanks very much The California senate has renewed its interest in making it illegal to leave a tip. The senate believes that many business are substituting tips for a decent wage, and this must be curtailed. At Burlingame’s Cafeteria, a customer said that whether to tip or not to tip was a matter of personal discretion and was a decision not to be made by the state. Grove students get cancelled after opening night Acting students from the Pacific Grove high school presented a most delightful entertainment Thursday evening, last. The students presented the well-known play Amazon. The young thespians seemed very professional. The only failing was in the size of the audience; only about 20% of the seats were filled. The only consolation is the fact that today all audiences seem to be dwindling. Only moving picture theatres are holding their own. Many blame the radio for the decline.

Halloween Safety Tips for Seniors
• Provide a sense of security so any possible troublemakers get the idea someone is at home. • Never leave a senior with dementia or physical limitations home alone on Halloween – they are more sensitive to noises and unfamiliar faces. • Keep guests outside - never let an unknown trick-or-treater inside to use the bathroom or make a phone call. • Turn on interior and exterior lights during trick-or-treating hours even if no one is home or if the senior chooses not to answer the door. • Stay inside while handing out candy. • Post a sign on the door that says “Sorry, No More Candy” when the goodies run out. • Make sure all floors, entry ways and porches are free from decorations • Remove any Halloween décor that involves flames, such as a lit pumpkin, from outside stairs and footpaths. This is a fire hazard for the dozens of kids stopping by with tails and capes. • Place carved pumpkins outside to keep the smell out and bugs away. • Add night lights to hallways, walkways and rooms. • Avoid window decorations that block light or the view of the front entry. • Don’t play music outside for Halloween guests – be aware of your surroundings.

Powerless for a Day Tom Stevens
Otter Views A faulty Moss Landing transmission tower toppled early Sunday morning, causing several transformers to explode and leaving 55,000 customers without power. Monterey Peninsula residents accustomed to relatively brief outages were surprised at this one’s duration. Residential and commercial service was out for 12 to 24 hours, and some traffic signals were still defunct two days later. This is noteworthy only because we live in the first world, where power is abundant and reliable, and where uneventful transmission is the norm. Outages of any sort are exceptional here, and one lasting a day or longer makes news. In much of the rest of the world, power is scarce and unreliable, and prolonged outages are the norm. That being said, it was still instructive to be powerless for a day. Thousands of plans had to be adjusted. Service stations pumped no gas. Cafes served no coffee. Businesses had to close. Milk went sour. Non-functioning highway signals backed up traffic for miles. And any system or transaction requiring computers had to revert to the abacus. The experience left me with a number of impressions. One had to do with the pervasiveness of electricity. In its absence, many of the little visual and aural touchstones of modern life flickered out, leaving a curious void in their wake. The children’s bedtime book “Goodnight I-Pad” makes a point in this regard. The title elicits laughter from readers of earlier generations, but modern parents know that when “the light goes out,” it doesn’t really go out. That’s because the night is full of little colored eyes. Every powered toy, communications device or appliance charger has its own LED voltage indicator, even in a toddler’s room. The first thing I notice in a nighttime power outage like Sunday’s is the absence of all these little red, green or blue pinpoints. While I don’t myself murmur “Goodnight I-Pad,” I have grown so accustomed to the LEDs that they form a sort of interior geography. When they go out, I’m not sure for a moment where I am. The aural environment also changes. Without electricity, many of the sonic iterations that form the soundtrack of daily life go mute. No recorded music reaches the ear. The refrigerator stops throbbing. No shavers buzz. No distant televisions squawk. No answering machines voice scratchy greetings. All the little clicks, beeps, zips and hums of modern electronic life fall eerily silent. It’s like “Twilight Zone.” While this week’s power failure put a significant hit on some Peninsula businesses, most residents were merely inconvenienced. But even that could be instructive. Driving toward Salinas on Highway 68 Sunday afternoon, I reached the end of a long, long line of cars waiting to inch through an intersection with no working traffic lights. This impressed me on a couple of counts. This was just a sleepy Sunday afternoon in October, with perhaps 1 percent of the Peninsula’s motoring population on the road. Yet traffic was barely moving. In a real disaster, if everybody took to their cars at once, the system would lock down in all directions in a matter of minutes. I was pondering this when a bicyclist raced by on the shoulder, sped past the couple of hundred cars, trucks and vans I could see in the distance, and vanished from sight far up ahead. “Bicycle,” I thought. Eureka! The disaster preparedness pamphlets always urge us to carry blankets, water, food, first aid and flashlights in our vehicles, but they overlook bicycles. Sunday’s lesson was: If you really need to flee from hurricane, tsunami, earthquake or other natural disaster, forget about driving through the gridlock. Pedal around it instead. Returning after dark that night, the scene grew spookier. With no street lights, house lights, commercial signage or stop lights marking the terrain, the landscape lost familiarity, and I found myself coming up too fast on pitch-black highway junctions. I was grateful to reach Monterey, where metal STOP signs had been mounted at intersections. While the power outage produced inconvenience and anxiety, there were also some benefits. I overheard one woman describe an impromptu backyard cookout she and her friends pitched for their Monterey neighborhood. Uncertain how long the blackout would last, they unloaded their freezer, fired up the barbecue and invited everyone over. Her account reminded me of hurricanes in Hawaii, where outages can last days. During a memorable 1980 storm on Maui, the power stayed off for a week, and it was pointless to keep anything in a freezer. Neighborhood cookouts abounded. After one of these, I strolled out to the middle of the highway, lay down on my back on the pavement, and gazed up at the flying darkness. No traffic came because fallen trees blocked the way. I had the road to myself.

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts Our power was out during the time I write my column, so I crave your patience and repeat one from a few years ago, involving former husband, Larry DeVine: Larry and I married in Carmel Valley on August 29, 1959. It was a small pretty wedding; Uncle Sam gave me away, my cousin, Mary Osborne, was my Matron of Honor. The reception was at the River Ranch. Larry’s parents, Hazel and Justin, had retired to The Sea Club in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. They rented a condo for us on the inland waterway. After two weeks, he went off to Germany, I to San Francisco. We had thought we would reunite in the spring in Europe to better accommodate finances and schedules. However, Lady Fate intervened. I was pregnant. One morning in mid-December, surrounded by friends and family, I boarded a Pole vaulting plane which would, after stops in London and Frankfurt, unite me with my new husband. He had bought a car, an ancient Opel Olympus and found an apartment in the bowels of Stuttgart, several stories above a store, on a dank, dark street. In Europe the streets fell silent early and, due to the expense, very few house lights were on at night. The apartment was daunting. We shared with the landlady, Frau Kohler, whom we never saw. She had the bedroom, we the living room, an alcove in which to sleep, the kitchen and an daunting bathroom, somehow squeezed into the end of a screen porch, so small that a sitz bath and a hand-held shower were the bathing facilities. The heat was provided by a pot bellied stove. Coal and wood fueled our oven and burners, with no thermostat. We were on the third floor; the stairwell was dark and musty. Floor lights came on occasionally, if at all... The old men trudging up the stairs reminded me of Van Gogh’s “Potato Eaters.” To obtain fuel one needed to go one flight further down to the basement. It was the dead of winter and very cold. I was three and a half months with child, would arise a few times at night, blindly feel my way out the kitchen door and onto the generally icy porch into the freezing bathroom. If Larry wasn’t home to obtain the coal, it could become rather chilly. After we retired and, very rarely, during the weekend we might see Frau Kohler. We celebrated Christmas and invited Larry’s friends, most of whom were bachelors. I learned to determine the temperature of the oven by feel. Larry was stationed at the Counter Intelligence Corps at Wallace Barracks, in the former GrosReiter Kaserne in the Hallschlog neighborhood of the Bad Connstatt section of town. Those bunch of jolly ex-college boys called it Hallschlag U. They even had a motto “Hallschlog U If you schlog me.” Which demonstrates the mindset of the short-timers. Protecting our country... Stuttgart, in those days, was grimy during the dark days of winter. The natives had not recovered from the intense bombings. It was not a happy city. We did not, however, remain long. We were evicted. Our friends enjoyed visiting, having a home-cooked meal, much beer was consumed and there were times of too much frivolity. Even for the money, the good frau could not stand it and we were out on our ears. The boys at Hallschlog U had a shower for me at the barracks in the club, I was the only female but they gave the baby-to-be wonderful gifts. Again, Fate intervened; we found a wonderful apartment not far from Stuttgart in Obertuerkheim. It was also a third floor walkup, but sunny and cheerful. We later discovered that we were paying the utilities for the entire building, but it was warm and there was a communal telephone in the hall . Opel was on her last legs when Larry purchased her. She was good to us for a few months, a real work horse, who held as many as 10 people roaring through the night to a party. The stress was too much and she died on one of our weekend trips. Prior to her demise we set off on a Saturday adventure of exploration. In a tiny little town, Zusmarshausen. Opel gave up. Pondering our next step, we ventured into a gasthaus, it was twilight. Everything was monochrome, smoke filled the room, men enjoying the last beer of the work day, stared at us in a very unwelcoming manner, and one had a milk eye. We had either stepped into a Bosch painting or one of the horror movies popular at that time. We buried Opel in a junk yard, and hitched a ride with a trucker. That, also, was unsettling as the cab was plastered with pornographic photos. Germany had no restraint when it came to rapacious enjoyment. He was aromatic and loud. As he shoved closer to me, I almost pushed Larry out of the passenger door, but we finally reached the train station and traveled back to Stuttgart. My mother had given us a wedding gift and, being without transportation, we purchased a new black Volkswagen with a sun roof for $1,600 and set off points south. One of my friends, Wade Matthews, who had been stationed in Monterey prior to Larry, was now a junior state department official in Munich, the capital of Bavaria... It was May, the weather was glorious, after a visit with Wade, and we headed for the Alps. While the enlisted man was not paid enough, the amenities while traveling were remarkable. Gasoline was inexpensive. The accommodations generally were opulent, old castles or converted manor houses, In Garmisch-Paratenkirchen we were on a lake and took side trips to Berchtesgaden, on that trip we stopped in Salzburg and Kitzbuhel, Austria. I wish I had paid more attention and had absorbed the history as well as the beauty perhaps that is youth. The baby was about due and a couple of false labor pains convinced us that we had better return to our home (although we both thought that Garmisch on the birth certificate would be pretty classy). On the morning of June 10, 1960, we were waiting at the military hospital in Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt, for a checkup. My water broke and 12 hours later, at 11:00 pm, John Justin DeVine II came lustily into the world. It was not a particularly happy experience. The wives of enlisted men were treated like cattle; we suffered in a ward, listening to the moans and screams of others and gave birth alone. I saw Jay’s father in the early morning of June 11. Larry was finding that his fluency in Russian was not particularly useful. The army paid for him to take a crash course in German (eight hours a day for about two months), when he “graduated” he received a grand promotion to Corporal, a small raise and reassignment to Heidelberg. The men in the counter intelligence corps were allegedly business men, wore civilian clothing and lived on the economy. The extra stipend, of course, was not enough as the German rents were high. We were always strapped for money but we were not alone. We had many American and a few German friends who enjoyed coming to our new digs. We had the ground floor of an old house, two bedrooms, a dining room, living room and a kitchen that had probably been a root cellar; I turned out a lot of meals from that six by six room. We had guests constantly. Jay was thriving; a beautiful, blond child with breathtaking blue eyes; he was good company.

PHEIDELBERG From Page 8 Heidelberg had escaped the bombings of World War 11. As a consequence the residents were very friendly to Americans. It is a storybook town. Our house was on the Neckar, at the foot of the old bridge linking us to Old Town, the university, and the castle. I will now give you a lesson, Heidelberg is an adaptation of Heidelbeerenberg (The German for Blueberry Mountain). The remake of the movie, “The Student Prince” had been released a few years earlier. Living there was a fairytale. We spent a number of evenings in the Red Ox, “Zum Roten Ochsen”, especially when friends visited, where our protectors frequently blew

their covers. We found people to baby sit for coffee (it was very dear in Germany). An old woman scrubbed the tile stairs daily. Across the back courtyard was a young family. They didn’t speak English, I couldn’t communicate in German, but communicate we did in the language of motherhood. There was a baby just a little older than Jay. I washed Jay’s diapers in a big vat of boiling water and hung them on the line by the river to dry. Often they would freeze. It was lonely for me. When the weather was nice we would sit out in the yard watching the river boats lazily float by, the famous castle on a distant hilltop. Larry was gone all day with the car; I had my friends around Stuttgart but none in Heidelberg. I painted a little, read a lot, and cooked. Jay and I would go for walks and pick flowers; down the street was an ice cream wagon where there were frozen fruit ices. Our friends came often and the landlord, Heinz Beisel (who, we learned, was under mail surveillance by either Hallschlag U boys or the CIA because of alleged illegal connections with somebody) was most cheerful. A magical place in a time “peace.” A second installment will follow. Jane Roland manages the AFRP Treasure Shop at 160 Fountain in PG. gcr770@ aol.com

Plastic Pollution and How it Relates to the Fish on Your Plate By Laura Peet
Since we live in a coastal town near the Monterey Bay Aquarium, being informed of environmentally responsible seafood is perhaps second nature to many. We may also be keenly aware of the monumental gyre of plastic trash that is breaking down into plankton-sized bits in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is well documented that seabirds and other marine life have been negatively impacted by this debris, being found starved to death with bellies full of indigestible plastic. While this should make anyone feel a pang of guilt for our part in this tragedy, the truth about human nature is that we often delay action until something directly affects our own wellbeing. With so much man-made debris floating around our oceans, it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that it is starting to come back to us through the food chain. A recent paper published by Dr. Chelsea Rochman and colleagues has found evidence of just that. Titled Anthropogenic debris in seafood: Plastic debris and fibers from textiles in fish and bivalves sold for human consumption, the study revealed that the amount of plastic in fish, sustainably sourced or not, is staggeringly high. With 25 percent of fish and 33 percent of individual shellfish in California markets containing plastic debris, according to their findings, you’ve probably already
eaten a lot of contaminated fish if you are a seafood eater. “Everything from zooplankton to whales are affected by plastic and there is evidence of plastic in the seafood we commonly eat,” says Dr. George Leonard, Chief Scientist at Ocean Conservancy. Little has been determined about the human health implications of consuming seafood contaminated with plastic. However, given the numerous hazardous chemicals that go into its creation, negative impacts could certainly exist. But don’t put down your fork just yet! “We need more independent science to get a better understanding of the potential risks plastics in fish pose to human health and weigh those risks against the well-known benefits of eating seafood,” states Dr. Leonard. What is certain is that greater action is needed to stop the inundation of plastic into our oceans. While the United States
Map: The Pacific Gyres, where plastic pollution tends to gather USFW
Plastic trash on a beach USFW and other developed countries do a relatively good job of properly disposing of waste, we all can do a better job of limiting our use of plastic. Recycling only goes so far. The issue is truly daunting, as it is global in nature. Appropriate waste management, especially in developing countries in Southeast Asia, where plastic is more readily entering the ocean environment, is key. However, the private sector is also culpable for producing so much waste in the first place and needs to step up to the task. As explained by Dr. Leonard, “all of the economics are working against the oceans.” Despite the ongoing efforts from environmental groups to reduce plastic consumption, single use plastics are on the rise in an effort to create greater
convenience for consumers. Tiny plastic packages for toothpaste and lotion, to brew single serving coffees, straws to stir our coffees or sip our drinks at restaurants, excessive packaging for electronics and toys, plastic bags at clothing stores, bottles for beverages, microbeads in toiletries… The list goes on and on. As consumers, we can make better choices for the oceans by not purchasing or using items with particularly egregious plastic use. We can request no straws at restaurants and we can buy more items in bulk or larger quantities. “This is a wake-up call for all of us. We need to figure out a way to drastically reduce the volume of plastic in the ocean,” concludes Dr. Leonard.

Salinas Squeaks by the Breakers at Corral de Tierra When I’m trying to improve on a certain part of my golf game what I need to do is identify what area I need to work on. Here is a good way for you to do the same. When you get on the golf course the next time keep track on your score card; how many fairways did you hit, how many putts and how many greens did you hit in regulation. I ask all of my students to do this because it helps them show where the strengths are and where the weakness is. For example, if you only hit one green in regulation you might want to work on your second shots after your drives.

Winter is coming
Newly homeless person’s guide to dumpster diving and dining Part Four (This four-part series is based on Pacific Grove City Councilmember Rudy Fischer’s question With winter coming, are homeless persons eligible for Section 8 housing? It raised another question: If you were suddenly homeless, what would you do? We suggested following the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared” by letting the experienced homeless lead the newcomers—or about to be first-timers—to homelessness. That theme is continued this week.) Imagine you lost your place of residence, and you followed all steps recommended in this series, but still find yourself without a new roof over your head or food to eat. While you wait for social services agencies to call back on your cell phone, night creeps up like chilly fog while you sit on a bus bench and try to figure what’s next. A noise startles you with sounds like a snarling dog. “Feed me!” Your stomach growls again and a pain like a knotted fist jabs your midsection, fully awakening you. “Omigod, I’m homeless,” you gasp as the tantalizing scent of greasy fried food wafts toward you. A man in a hoodie is eating out of a discarded takeout box from a nearby trash can.
Rising, you reach for the loose dollar bills you stuffed in your shirt pocket so you could buy a cheeseburger and fries, but come up empty-handed. While you dozed, your money and your watch were boosted, which in homeless lingo means stolen. The advice you read in the standing lead of this series flashes to mind: Let the experienced homeless lead the newcomers—or about to be first-timers, to homelessness. Thus your first night of homelessness begins by trash picking for dinner and ends with trying without much success to sleep in your car.
ABCs in the School of Homelessness Your first full homeless-person day starts when you unkink from your cramped position behind your driver’s
Wanda Sue Parrott
Homeless in Paradise wheel, after policemen have made you move four times between midnight and 6 a.m You know business people who resent homeless individuals loitering near their shops call the unwanted beggars and hangers-on because you were one of them before the national retail chain corporation for which you worked closed your branch. As a newcomer to the Homeless School of Survival, you’ve learned their ABCs before 9 a.m.: A - Arise early and get ready for work. B - Beg as if you are a professional butcher, baker, banker or lawyer. Collect cash and whatever else you can find to boost (borrow without permission, barter as trade, and sell outright) for survival, but be sure most of it is disposable. Fortunately, you heeded the advice from this column and locked your wallet and credit cards in your trunk, so you now retrieve a few dollars and drive to a fast foods restaurant in a shopping mall to use the toilet, freshen up and buy breakfast. You find the bathroom occupied, with six homeless persons in line, cups of coffee in hand and duffel or tote bags at the ready for shampooing hair, shaving, brushing teeth, sponge bathing and changing clothes. One by one they exit the bathroom, some headed for real jobs and others going to work on street corners by waving signs or holding cups. Your turn comes more than an hour after you arrive. Survival depends on being savvy Your success in business depended on how savvy you were, and so you bone up on homelessness as if it is a career path. You enter “skank” into your cell phone and read: a sleazy or undesirable person; a swindler, con artist or cheat. You look up “beggar” and read: someone who asks for something for nothing. You have never been sleazy, or begged anyone for anything, but as a skank-to-be you need to get work experience, so you stop a passerby and say, “Pardon me, sir. Someone stole my watch. Can you please give me. . . the time?” “Sure. It’s 9:45.” Blue plastic diamonds Nearby, an old woman drags a black garbage bag full of discarded plastic water bottles that sparkle like blue plastic diamonds. The recycling center will pay her cash for each bottle she turns in for a refund. You realize the meaning of the old cliché “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and think: survival can depend on the art of dumpster diving and dining as well as getting a safe night’s sleep. In business you recited a mantra for success before choosing your shop’s address: Location, location, location. You apply the same mantra to homelessness and wind up spending your second night in Veterans Park in Monterey where overnight parking is allowed. The beginner’s guide to dumpster diving and dining Your second day of homelessness was spent scoping out dumpsters. Easiest to access are open-can street-front containers in which passersby toss everything, from bottles, beverages, cans and paper to food, rags, yard clippings and dog droppings. Bees, flies and wild animals
share such bins since they can be hungry, too. Waist-high round plastic and corrugated metal containers with lids that can be lifted easily are often found in back alleys or behind stores. Contents are easy to see and pick through. Slightly harder to access are plastic storefront containers with swinging door tops that require sticking one’s arm blindly through the opening to fumble through contents. Fast food places that serve meals on stackable trays are almost impossible to raid because their bins are in cabinets with round openings just large enough for a man’s head to enter. These are the best providers of cooked food, as diners throw away chicken skin, bones with meat left on them, soggy fries and cold buns. However, after the indoor containers are emptied into outdoor dumpsters, the homeless can feast on bones, skin and fat. Monster-size dumpsters are most prolific producers of goods and food. Supermarkets throw away produce
and outdated packaged foods daily, and retailers discard clothing, seasonal items and dry goods in which the homeless can wrap up and roll on. Athletic prowess is needed to get in and out of big dumpsters that, like swimming pools, require diving skills. On your third morning of homelessness, you set out to acquire a sturdy pair of garden gloves from the local dollar store in preparation for future need: Never dig or dive in a dumpster without gloves, you are thinking when the cell phone rings.. An agency is calling you to say housing is available if you still need it. You respond, “Thanks. What took you so long to get back to me?” A young voice says, “Sir, we’re closed on weekends.”

America’s Heroes Golf Tournament Funds
Grant will Aid Homeless Veterans
Homeless area veterans will soon receive additional care, thanks to a generous grant of $101,000 to the Veterans Transition Center (VTC) from the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation (NPSF). This is the second year the nonprofit VTC has received a grant as a result of the Foundation’s annual America’s Heroes Charity Golf Tournament. "This award will have direct impact and make a huge difference in the lives of the thousands of deserving vets we serve, who have sacrificed so much for this nation,” said Terry Bare, VTC executive director. “I'm honored VTC has a strong partnership with the NPSF, and I commend them for the good work they are doing within our community." The funds were raised during the 10th annual America’s Heroes golf tournament held in August at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club and Spanish Bay Golf Links at Pebble Beach. NPSF has distributed over 5 million dollars to organizations that provide assistance to injured military and their families. "VTC consistently has 50 to 55 clients in housing out at historic Fort Ord,” said Terry Bare, VTC executive director. "And we are seeing much younger homeless and imminently-homeless veterans on a daily basis. Financial support is vital. Approximately 1,200 veterans entered our doors last year for information, potential housing, food, clothing and other assistance.”

December People returns to World Theater by popular demand Kick off the holiday season on Nov. 7 and 8 when the December People – Robert Berry, Gary Pihl, Dave Medd, David Lauser and Jack Foster – make a much-anticipated appearance at California State University, Monterey Bay’s World Theater. The group has played to enthusiastic, standing-room-only houses the last five years and this year promises more of the same. December People are something classic, something new, something familiar … but totally original. The group is one part tribute band, one part radio sensation, one part traditional holiday music, and one part just plain fun with their hilariously sincere imagining of what familiar holiday songs might sound like if played by Santana, The Who, Led Zepplin, Sting, ZZ Top, Boston, U2, ELP, Queen, and Peter Gabriel, to name a few. Each member brings a wealth of experience with well-known bands. Berry, who came up with the idea for the group and is the lead vocalist and bass player, sang for the bands “3” and Ambrosia, played bass in the Sammy Hagar band, and was in the band GTR with Steve Howe of YES. He is the bass player for the Greg Kihn Band. Pihl, guitar and vocals, has been a member of the band Boston since 1985, played in the Sammy Hagar Band and worked with Norman Greenbaum of Spirit and Sky. Medd, vocals and keyboard, is
keyboard player for the Tubes and has toured with Quicksilver Messenger Service and Alliance. Lauser, drummer and percussionist, has played in professional bands for years and is currently the drummer for Sammy Hagar. Foster, guitar, is an accomplished singer/songwriter with several albums to his credit. They’ve taken Christmas classics and made them accessible and enjoyable for listeners of all ages. Their contemporary take on each song sheds a whole new light on both the classic rock songs that influenced the music and timeless

Legal Notices Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition
Notice is hereby given by the person whose name appears hereon of her intention to circulate the petition within the City of Pacific Grove for the purpose of amending the zoning code. A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: The American Tin Cannery (ATC) site is one of the major gateways to Pacific Grove. The current land uses at the ATC site do not provide necessary public revenue to Pacific Grove nor the full range of uses sought by residents or visitors to the adjacent Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Cannery Row vicinity. Without voter authority, the ATC site could not be re-developed with “overnight lodging,” which the Pacific Grove Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (Land Use Plan) identifies as a “principal permitted use.” The California Coastal Act also establishes “visitor-serving uses,” which include overnight lodging, as priority uses in the California coastal zone. The existing voter approved zoning restrictions allow only the uses allowed in the C-V (Visitor Commercial) and C-2 (Heavy Commercial), but hotels are not allowed. Voter authority is required to enhance the commercial viability of this area and to provide for the uses envisioned in the Land Use Plan and California Coastal Act. /s/ Renee Crocker Renee Crocker The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure: Title: American Tin Cannery (ATC) ballot initiative, adding Section 23.31.025 to the Pacific Grove Municipal Code Summary: This voter initiative proposes to amend the Pacific Grove Municipal Zoning Code to allow hotel use at the American Tin Cannery Site. In 1986, voters in the City of Pacific Grove approved an initiative measure (Measure C of 1986) that had the effect of prohibiting hotel use at the American Tin Cannery (ATC) site. This site currently bears the land use zoning designations of Visitor Commercial (C-V) and Heavy Commercial (C-2). Voter approval is needed to change these zoning designations and re-establish hotels as a permissible land use on the ATC Site. This initiative applies only to the ATC site, located in Pacific Grove on Assessor Parcels (APN) 006- 231-001, 006-234-004, 006-234-005, and the portion of Sloat Street between Eardley Avenue and Dewey Street. The ATC site exists exclusively within the perimeter formed by Ocean View Boulevard, Eardley Avenue, Central Avenue and Dewey Street. This initiative proposes a new zoning designation for the ATC site – Visitor Commercial (C-VATC) – instead of the C-V and C-2 zoning designations that currently apply to the ATC site. If voters approve creation of the C-VATC zone, allowed uses on the ATC site would include hotel and accessory uses, restaurants, bars, lounges, meeting and event facilities, spa and fitness facilities, parking and buildings and structures incidental to those uses. A use permit from the City will be needed for any of these uses. In addition, the C-V-ATC zone would allow other land uses permitted in the C-V zone, including uses allowed in the C-V zone by later amendment to the Zoning Code. Development standards within the C-V-ATC zone shall be governed by the Pacific Grove Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP), including future amendments that may be made to the LUP. If the LUP does not include applicable standards, development standards shall be included in any applicable use permit. Except as modified by voter initiative, all voter-imposed zoning restrictions on new and existing hotels remain in effect.

City’s New Intern Will Write an Informative Column
Anne Kornmann is the new and unpaid intern at City Hall. She hails from Tübingen, a small German city near Stuttgart. She is working on a bachelor’s degree in city-state-federal administration at Ludwigsburg University and will be finished in January 17. As such must complete an internship in a foreign country. Anne will shadow City Manager Tom Frutchey and, as she learns, we will learn as well. Anne will be writing a bi-weekly column on what Tom does for the City of Pacific Grove which we’ll be printing here. When she takes the lessons she has learned back to Germany, Anne hopes for a position in city administration. She hopes to do something which will put her in contact with people. Does she intend to go into politics? Oh, no. She said she would not like the loss of privacy. Anne is staying with friends of her parents’. Her spoken and written English is excellent, so she should have no difficulty getting along at City Hall. She’s looking for an inexpensive car as she has heard about the coming El Niño and doesn’t relish walking to work in the rain. Welcome to Pacific Grove, Anne. Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Anne and I’m currently doing an internship at the City of Pacific Grove for three months. I’m from Germany and I’m studying public management for a Bachelor’s degree. During my studies I must do an internship in a foreign country. It’s my first time in the U.S., so I want to share some of my first impressions and especially some differences I see between a small town in Germany and a small town in the U.S., just like Pacific Grove, with you. The first thing I have noticed is things we have in common. We both have a mayor; in fact here he has the same function as in Germany. Of course the mayor is an important member of the City government Nevertheless he needs his staff to support him. What I’ve also noticed is that you only have six councilmembers. In Germany a city with a similar size to Pacific Grove would have 24 councilmembers. And another difference is that the councilmembers in Germany usually are a member of a certain party. In Pacific Grove they are impartial, which I think is a good thing. They don’t have to represent the opinion of a party and can share their own suggestions and thoughts on things. Our organizational structure differs as well. In Pacific Grove in addition to the mayor and the six councilmembers there is a city clerk, a city manager, a city attorney and a city treasurer. In Germany a city like Pacific Grove has a mayor, 24 councilmembers and one head for each department of City Hall. Most of the people working for the City are civil servants who have Bachelor’s degrees in Public Management, or they are employees. However both are working for the federal state government. In Germany people really like to participate; they like to know what is going on and to make suggestions on things that are going on in their city. Of course some of the suggestions are useful and others aren’t. We also have council meetings but not all of them are public, yet issues that have been discussed in a non-public meeting have to be summarized in the next public meeting. Another thing that I really like about Pacific Grove is that the City actually tries to be on the same level as the citizens. Sometimes I have the feeling that German cities are having a hard time with actually dealing with all these civic issues on the same level as the citizens. In my opinion this only is realized in cities smaller than 8,000 people. It’s really exciting for me to find out what is going well in Pacific Grove and which ideas for improvement I can take back to Germany and suggest at my office in Germany. And of course it’s interesting for me as well to see where Pacific Grove has some problems and how I can help dealing with them.
Big Sur International Marathon Announces New Board Structure John Mutty of Carmel Elected Board Chair Following nearly two years of strategic planning, the Big Sur International Marathon has established a new governance board to oversee the organization’s mission of providing world class races, promoting health and fitness, and providing funds to local charities. The acknowledgement that the 30-year-old non-profit is now “more than a marathon” initiated the movement for a structural change in the board. The new board will oversee six major organizational goals: 1) ensure the Big Sur International Marathon race day events and the Half Marathon continue to be recognized as “world class;” 2) add new mission-related events or expand current BSIM events; 3) enhance the fitness of adults and youth in the local community and beyond; 4) develop collaborations and partnerships which enhance the mission of the Big Sur International Marathon; 5) build organizational capacity required to fully implement this five year strategic plan; 6) ensure the fiscal strength and stability of the Big Sur International Marathon. John Mutty, a 20-year veteran of the Big Sur Marathon, was elected as chair of the 15-member board. Other officers voted
in were Tom Rolander as Vice Chair, John Thibeau as Treasurer and Buddy Sharp as Secretary. Members of the 15-person board will also serve on additional Board committees including Personnel, Finance, Audit, and Board Development. A separate volunteer race committee will continue to organize the April Big Sur International Marathon and November Half Marathon on Monterey Bay under the leadership of Race Director Doug Thurston who also serves as Executive Director of the Big Sur International Marathon organization. In addition to the two major race weekends, the organization oversees Run in the Name of Love, a 5K/2K dog-friendly event held in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and a national award-winning youth fitness program, JUST RUN. With a stated goal of enhancing the health and fitness of the local community, and increasing collaborations and partnerships, the Big Sur Marathon will look to expand its health mission beyond youth fitness into other audiences throughout the county. “This...change in our organization will help provide the leadership and direction our organization needs to look beyond our flagship event weekends,” said Thurston.

$24K Grant Offers Grief Support for Low-income Families Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Monterey announced a grant award in the amount of $24,000, from Hospice Giving Foundation, to provide complex bereavement counseling for families and individuals in Monterey and San Benito counties who are dealing with grief and do not have access to health insurance, or whose insurance does not cover grief counseling. This service provides access to mental health counseling for those who need support, or are struggling with issues stemming from the loss of a loved one that requires a professional to help work through the issues. The funding from Hospice Giving Foundation closes a previously identified service gap in the community for people who require professional counseling connected to a past loss, but where significant time has elapsed since that loss. In these situations, affordable grief support is practically non-existent for low-income families and individuals. “Over the years, our partnership with the Hospice Giving Foundation has allowed us to reach out to those in our community who are dealing with the profound loss of a loved one,” stated Maria A. Runciman, Director of Mental Health Counseling for Catholic Charities. “The program’s particular focus is to provide quality, compassionate and bilingual (Spanish/English) counseling services over an expanded period of time, whenever
needed,” explained Runciman. The target population for the agency’s Mental Health Counseling Program, as with most of the services provided by Catholic Charities, is low-income families and individuals. However, without financial assistance from the Hospice Giving Foundation, grief counseling for individuals suffering this type of loss would not be so readily available in Monterey and San Benito counties. Since its inception in 1997, Hospice Giving Foundation has granted over $22 million to local programs dedicated to strengthening and improving palliative, hospice and other end-of-life services. “We are deeply appreciative of this grant from Hospice Giving Foundation, which allows us to help many who, without this funding, would otherwise not receive the compassionate care they need to recover from the profound loss of a dear friend or family member,” stated Terrie Iacino, Executive Director of Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities has received grants supporting counseling for complex bereavement from Hospice Giving Foundation for 11 years. Grief counseling and other mental health counseling services are available at the Catholic Charities office in Seaside, located at 922 Hilby Street, Suite C. For more information about the Catholic Charities Mental Health Counseling program, call (831) 393-3110, Option 3.

The newly formed non-profit Key for the Cure Foundation is pleased to announce the gala event held September 11 at the Nicklaus Club at Pasadera Country Club was a huge success and the foundation will be giving a check for $244,000.00 to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. This sold-out event was the very first event in Monterey County to directly raise funds to support cellular therapy, an innovative pediatric cancer research protocol at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. “We were amazed by the support we received from the community and we want to thank everyone who attended for their generosity,” states Anne Chisum, co-founder of the foundation. She adds, “Our foundation is dedicated and committed to finding a cure for pediatric cancer and this event was the first of many we will host.” Cellular therapy is a less toxic treatment for pediatric cancer not yet available for pediatric cancer patients, but is currently being researched at the hospital. This money will be allocated specifically to this research protocol to get this new innovative treatment to clinical trial. It is the intent of the Key for the Cure Foundation that any funds raised by the foundation will be donated to innovative pediatric cancer research done at major hospitals in the United States.

The Gift
Life is a gift as you know except That it is a gift you have to accept Unconditionally. As a matter of fact Giving may be a violent act. Life is a gift. Kind of. Except That it is a gift you have to accept Without knowing what is inside, Being unable to look and decide. The right to decide you really lack As you come into being in history's crack. To accept without having a glimpse Of bothersome why's and but's, and if's. Like sickness, and pain, like the final stage. Live this life, and no exchange. No exchange and no way backAs you come into being in history's crack. But there may be a different view On life as a gift granted to you. You said that life is a pig in a poke. Than why did you laugh at my little joke? Because this is life. Let me explain. Unhappiness is hard to maintain, And the transition to laughter is swift. Always remember life is a gift.

Gene Elmore: Eulogy to a Treasured Friend September 6, 1927 - September 22, 2015
Beloved Carmel and Pacific Grove artist Gene Elmore died on Sept. 22 at the age of 88 after a brief illness. Gene was born in Finlay, Ohio, studied pre-med in college and was a Navy veteran of WWII and Army veteran of the Korean War stationed in Kyoto, Japan. Gene often talked of Kyoto saying it was the most fascinating place he had ever visited. The Japanese influence showed in the decor of his home and sometimes surfaced in his art. As a young man Gene traveled extensively visiting Asia, Mexico, Russia and Europe. While in Italy he rented overnight accommodations for a short time at the Vatican, where he was lucky enough to see Pope Pius XII. Gene came to California and settled on the Monterey Peninsula, a place he’d seen in a movie. This is where he discovered his true calling and passion for art. He contacted Pat Cunningham, a renowned Carmel painter, and used the GI Bill to pursue his art training. He finished his Gene Elmore formal art education at the Carmel Art Institute then taught for two years on the island of Capri. entry was Gene’s painting of a trumpet on Returning to California, Gene initially a chair, the now iconic image replicated in settled in Carmel where he operated his various ways by many artists over more own art gallery.

His Pacific Grove home was the place of choice for many gatherings. His humor always evident, visitors were regaled with tales of creative and funfilled times. One favorite story was Gene’s climb up Mount Fuji with a non-traditional slide downhill on the return which totally shredded his rubber boots.

The Panetta Institute for Public Policy announces journalists Scott Pelley, Martha Raddatz, David Martin and Jim Miklaszewski to Receive Jefferson-Lincoln Awards at 16th Annual Evening to Honor Lives of Public Service on Saturday, November 14, 2015. The Panetta Institute for Public Policy has announced the recipients of its 2015 Jefferson-Lincoln Awards. This year the annual awards will be presented to Scott Pelley, CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor and correspondent for the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes;” Martha Raddatz, ABC News chief global affairs correspondent; David Martin, CBS News national security correspondent covering the Pentagon and the State Department; and Jim Miklaszewski, NBC News chief Pentagon correspondent. This award celebrates Americans whose careers exhibit remarkable dedication to the key principles of our democracy and the ideals of our nation. This year the Institute will honor four journalists who have shown a commitment to unbiased investigative reporting and balanced coverage. Their work has provided a valuable service to our democracy by informing the public on some of the most important issues of our time. The honors will be conferred at a black tie gala dinner held at The Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach on Saturday, November 14, 2015. Commenting on the honorees, Institute Chairman and Co-Founder Leon E. Panetta said, “today, our nation faces two great threats: the threat of terrorism and the consequences of dysfunction in our gridlocked democracy. In order for Americans to be able to properly understand these pressing issues, they rely on responsible, thorough, fair and balanced reporting by the members of the media. An educated electorate is an essential component to a functioning democracy. The four journalists we are honoring this year play an instrumental role in informing American voters and have shown particular dedication to their coverage of defense and military issues and our nation’s political
leadership. Their reporting and diligence provides a great service to all Americans. The Panetta Institute is honored to recognize their important contributions.” Scott Pelley is one of the most experienced reporters in broadcast journalism. Since joining “60 Minutes” in 2004, half of all the major awards won by the broadcast have been for stories reported by Pelley. Under his leadership, the “CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley” has become America’s fastest-growing network evening news broadcast and is currently enjoying its best season in more than seven years. Some of Mr. Pelley’s most recent “60 Minutes” assignments include reporting in Iraq on the front lines in the battle against ISIS; a news-making interview with the nurses who treated the first Ebola patient in the United States; and the only interview with one of the Navy SEALs who helped bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Martha Raddatz, ABC News chief global affairs correspondent, has covered all aspects of foreign policy for nearly twenty years—reporting from the Pentagon, the State Department, the White House and from conflict zones around the world. In October 2012, she moderated the only vice presidential debate between Congressman Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden. In addition, Ms. Raddatz serves as the primary substitute for George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” and contributes regularly to the program. Prior to her current role she served as White House correspondent during the last term of President George W. Bush’s administration. David Martin has covered the Pentagon and the State Department since 1993. In that capacity, he has reported virtually every major defense, intelligence and national affairs story for CBS Evening News, as well as for other broadcasts, including “60 Minutes” and “48 Hours.” During the invasion of Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, Mr. Martin’s in-depth knowledge of

Eastern Canada Trip: Europe Without the Plane Trip
Times • Page 17
My Trip to America By Judy Avila
International bridge at Thousand Islands near Rockport. Canada on left, USA right. by Bruce Cowan The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce together with PG Travel coordinated a really interesting trip this year with Collete Vacations to provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Canada, from October 4 through October 11. Being in Quebec, including Montreal and Quebec City, was like being in France — except to not have to travel so far — no plane transfers to deal with. People spoke French, most signs were in French, and the architecture of many buildings and churches and cathedrals along narrow cobblestone streets looked very European. In Quebec City we listened to an expert fiddler playing French Canadian reels--reminding us of some of our music jam sessions in Pacific Grove. Quebec (pronounced Kaybec) City Old Town has an upper neighborhood, and a lower one near the St. Laurence River. You can get from one to the other either by a tram, riding a bus as we did, or climbing hundreds of stairs. The province of Ontario was quite different from Quebec in culture because most of the people spoke English.We visited Ottawa, the Canadian Capitol, and Toronto, Canada’s largest city. We learned a lot about the War of 1812 which pitted British Canadians against French Canadians, and all Canadians against Americans. Luckily there is no resentment today, as far as we know. People are friendly. Tourism is a big part of the culture and economy of Canada. Toronto and Montreal have underground business districts. Ride down an escalator in just about any building, and
there is a network of shops that extend along aisles for blocks, perhaps miles, in every direction. Subway transportation occurs here too. This can make shopping more pleasant during the cold, snowy winters. Just pray that the electricity doesn’t get shut off when you are down there! We were near the peak of fall color season, with wonderful golds and oranges and reds throughout the forests. One stop was a “Sugar Shack” where they showed us how maple syrup was obtained from the trees and processed. They provided us a breakfast with all the maple syrup we could use. We had been concerned about the weather due to the East Coast storms in the U.S. the previous week, but the weather turned out to be nearly perfect for us--just a couple of short rains, lots of sun and beautiful fall colors. One special treat was Niagara Falls. We went on a boat ride from Bridalveil Falls on the American side into heavy spray of the larger Horsehoe Falls on the Canadian side, everyone furnshed with red plastic ponchos. Got some great pictures! Niagara falls has 12 million visitors a year, we were told. Another adventure included a boat ride to “Thousand Islands” in the upper St. Laurence River where the river begins near Lake Ontario near a town called Rockport. Many of these islands have one or more houses--and even some castles-on islands, some of which are barely larger than the buldings they support! We saw the “shortest international bridge in the world” connecting two of the islands, one in Canada and the other in the USA.
PPANETTA From Previous Page how the State Department, intelligence community and the military operate both on the battlefield and in Washington, D.C., positioned him as the “big picture” reporter for CBS. Jim Miklaszewski was the first at the scene to report that the Pentagon had been attacked on September 11. He has since led the NBC’s coverage of the war in Afghanistan. Mr. Miklaszewski was a White House correspondent during the George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations. In the Bush administration, he reported on the Gulf War with Iraq, summits with Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, and the Bush reelection campaign in 1992. During the Clinton years, he covered President Clinton’s transition from Little Rock, his many trips abroad and his reelection. The November 14 celebration also serves as the premier fundraiser to help support the Panetta Institute for Public Policy and its mission to attract thoughtful men and women to lives of public service, inspiring them to a high standard of conduct and equipping them with the practical skills of self-government. The gala will feature a gourmet four-course meal prepared by some of Northern California’s finest chefs with outstanding local produce and award-winning Monterey County wines. Sponsor tables for the gala event are available for $12,000 with seating for ten guests. Individual seats are $600. For more information, call the Institute at 831-582-4200.
Feeling lost from your familiar surroundings can be scary, whether you are a child or an adult. Feeling lost in New York City when you do not speak English can be an even more dramatic experience! I grew up on a very small island in the Azores archipelago, 930 miles off the coast of Portugal. We were still in a very primitive era. We were very sheltered, and had very few material things except for our basic needs. I was one of five girls, the fourth for my parents. We were a closeknit, typical family in our small village. When I was ten years old, Aunt Mary and Uncle John (Tia Maria and Tio João) came to visit us from California. Uncle John was my father’s brother. They asked me if someday I would like to come spend time with them, that they would offer that opportunity for my future. Of course, I said “YES!” All of the people that came to visit from America were our idols, our stars. They brought us gifts, wore beautiful clothes, had money, and smelled so nice! From that time on, coming to America was my dream, but the years went by and immigration laws were very complex. I wondered if it would ever happen. Shortly after I turned sixteen, we received a letter from the American Consulate, stating that I now was eligible to apply for a visitor permit to the United States. The exciting news was closer to becoming a reality. My mother and sisters were happy for me. They made some new clothes for my trip. My father and I were to go to the island of São Miguel to submit my application. It could take months or years before I was approved; however, it was a beginning. This was an overnight voyage by ship—the first one for me. When we arrived to see the Consul, things started rolling. We were informed that once I had my passport and proper documents my visa would be issued, and I could be ready to depart within two weeks. I could not believe my ears! This was a miracle! I had my parents’ permission and their blessing. Oh, but I wanted to go home to say goodbye to mother and sisters. My father explained that that would make things more difficult for everyone. The answer was no! That was hard. My father stayed with me until documents were ready, and then we were hugging goodbye. We sent my Uncle John a telegram with the news. A few days later I boarded a big TWA airplane to San Francisco, with stops in Boston and New York. This was exciting! The trip went well to Boston, and after couple of hours waiting, we boarded a plane for New York. We arrived in the early evening and waited all night in the airport, but I didn’t know why? There were announcements over a loud speaker but I didn’t understand. All of a sudden, I realized there was no one I could ask because they didn’t understand me. I knew a few English words, but I could not put any sentence together. When morning came, a gentleman approached us to tell us something, but the only thing I understood was “San Francisco.…” He called some of us by name and we followed him outside, where we were ushered onto a bus. The driver pulled away from the building, and what a culture shock I got! Everything was so enormous! There were so many cars, busses, trains. Every rooftop and tree were covered in snow. Wow! How beautiful. We must be on our way to San Francisco, I thought. I had no idea how far it might be from state to state or city to city. After a while the bus pulled into a huge parking lot. We all got off the bus and flowed into a new building. When my turn came at the desk, I asked the gentleman. “My suitcase?” Looking at my tickets, he said, “Your suitcase is in San Francisco.” I said, “San Francisco here, no?” He shook his head and said, “New York here.” I almost died! Soon a bellhop took me to a bedroom on the 13th floor and motioned I could go to sleep. I sunk into a chair; I was so hungry and worried. My tears just rolled. Why was I here? An African American lady was cleaning the room. She approached me to dry my tears and give me comfort and then she left. Soon another lady, who had been sitting next to me during the night, came in and picked up the phone. She spoke for a while then handed it to me. The person on the other end of the phone spoke Portuguese. He explained that I was there because of a snowstorm, not to worry, that I would fly to San Francisco the next day. I would be picked up. What relief I felt. The same lady led me to a dining room and ordered breakfast for both of us. She also showed me how to ride the elevator. I learned much on this trip. The next day I arrived in San Francisco! After my uncle and aunt picked me up and we were on our way to their home to Pacific Grove, I told them every detail about my journey. Then I said to them, “I must learn to speak this language of yours, because this is a country I would like to live in.” In spite of such a challenging trip, I was already in love with United States.

Using Holidays as Access Points to Memories As Keepers of Our Culture, holidays like Halloween are touchstones in our lives, reminding us where we were in a fixed place in time. Holidays and other special events like weddings, birthdays and graduations are terrific launch pads for those of you who may be new to writing your life story, as they usually evoke vivid memories, and they are frequently photographed, so we have easy access to graphics to jump-start our memory cells. If you have a picture of yourself in a Halloween costume or can remember what it was like to carve a jack-o-lantern, you’re well on your way to writing a compelling chapter about the October holiday in your life story. In the delightful essay that follows, Betty Auchard of Los Gatos conjures up images of a memorable Halloween from her childhood. Halloween and the End of the World In 1938, when our parents were having troubles again, my brother, sister and I lived in a place called the Home for the Friendless in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. All the other children were there for the same reason. In fact, our whole city felt so sorry for us that they gave us more holiday parties than any other kid in town. On Halloween weekend that year, the monitors let us stay up late to listen to a spooky radio broadcast called “War of the Worlds,” starring Orson Welles. The staff members listened with us. In

Orson Welles in the CBS studio in 1938 in the middle of his historic “War of the Worlds” live radio broadcast.
the middle of the action about rocket ships and aliens, Mr. Welles’ voice started to tremble. He announced that he just got word that those aliens from outer space had invaded our planet and the world would soon end. Then just like that, he got cut off the air. We didn’t expect the grownups to be scared, but they were, and their fear spread to the kids. Everyone in the room believed it was really happening, so the monitor turned off the the radio and sent us all to bed. At 8 years of age, I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t even ponder the safety of my little brother and sister in their dormitory rooms on the other side of the building. An Eight-Year-Old Does Some Deep Thinking I was curious, though. What if it was true? Would the whole world be a big mess? That meant our town would be destroyed. Would being de-
stroyed hurt? However, none of that deep thinking kept me from sleeping soundly that night. We all woke up alive, but at school it was hard to do our lessons. The only thing the kids could talk about was that radio show and Orson Welles. Our teacher made us raise our hands if we wanted to share, and I didn’t dare say anything. I hadn’t even been worried about my little brother and sister, and I couldn’t say that. Arthur said, “I was scared to death, and I hid under the bed for a long time.” A boy whose father worked at the police station said someone phoned and asked, “What time is this going to happen?” A girl whose father was a fireman said a lady called the fire department and asked, “When it happens, shall I close my windows?” Another student said that when her mother tried to help her older neighbor, the neighbor said, “I don’t have time to talk right now! The end of the world is coming and I’ve got a lot to do!” A Lesson in Mass Hysteria We all laughed about those stories, even the teacher. Then she said, “Boys and girls, when a large group of people are afraid of something they sometimes do strange things to get away from the fear. It’s called mass hysteria and it means that fear is sometimes contagious, like the measles.” Aha, that’s exactly why the other kids were scared, because the grownups who worked at the Home were scared. That night after supper, all of the kids and staff gathered close to the big Zenith console to listen to the news. A lot of people were really mad about the show being broadcast, especially on Halloween. I felt
sorry for Mr. Welles because he probably had no idea what a ruckus he would cause. When a reporter askedhim what he thought about the commotion, he said, “I apologize to the producers of the CBS Mercury Theater for this getting out of control. The show was only a story and not real. We announced that at the beginning.” “But, Mr. Welles, anyone who tuned in late didn’t know that,” the interviewer said. “The broadcast seemed so real that everyone was confused.” “I am so sorry. I don’t think we will ever broadcast that program again.” Confronting a Situation the Grown-ups Could Not Fix While I was listening to the show, I had been a little bit confused, too, but I didn’t think it was real. Maybe growing up with such hullabaloo in my family all the time had taught me to take things in stride. When bad things happened in the adult world, like kidnapping and bank robberies, I knew the grownups would fix it. But, after listening to “The War of the Worlds,” the grownups at the Home caught fear from each other and were no help to anyone. The show had wrecked our party and that made me sad, but down deep, I was glad the world hadn’t really ended on Halloween. Betty Auchard of Los Gatos tells more stories of her childhood in her new memoir, The Home for the Friendless. Her previous book, Dancing in My Nightgown: The Rhythms of Widowhood, won an IPPY award and was endorsed by celebrity widows Jayne Meadows and Rosemarie Stack. Turning your childhood and adult memories into a book is a lovely and meaningful gift to leave to your family and friends. Park Place Publications can help you on every step of the journey to creating a book, all the way from organizing your memories and getting them down on paper to the moment you actually hold a book with your name on the cover in your hands.For more information, go to keepersofourculture.com, and for a free consultation, call Patricia Hamilton at 831/649-6640.
Guest Columnist Grateful for Exposure of Carmel Senior Company
Editor: Thank you very much for publishing in this week’s issue (Oct. 16 - 22) the article, “Carmel Senior Company Seeking Storytellers” in the Patricia Hamilton’s and Joyce Krieg’s “Keepers of Our Culture” column. Being such a new venture it was very kind of you to provide such space for it in the Cedar Street Times. I will keep Patricia informed of the paper’s effect. I very much am touched and appreciate everyone’s generosity and enthusiasm for the project. Oral history performance is such a powerful way of bring people in the community together. Perhaps, at another time I can do something of this nature for the Pacific Grove community. My best to you in your efforts to keep the community informed and highlighting activities and issues in our surrounding community. My husband and I feel very fortunate we are able to now live in the area after all these years of coming and leaving. There is no place I know in our country I would rather be living. How grateful we feel to have this opportunity to connect here with others and be a part of such a dynamic and creative community. Sincerely, Harriet Lynn
