Local man accused of killing a man in Oregon

Vol. X, Issue 2

First Butterfly of the Season

Neal Brian Norman dies when run over by another intended victim

By Marge Ann Jameson A local man, Neal Brian Norman, 50, was driving from California to Oregon, apparently to visit relatives there, when he ran out of gas near Callahan's Lodge in Ashland on Sat., Sept. 30. He went into the lodge lobby to use the phone, then returned to his car, a 1999 Honda Accord. He retrieved a rifle, walked back into the lodge, and shot and killed the cook, 40-year-old Ryan Paul Bagley. He then took Bagley's 1993 Subaru Legacy and headed south on I-5. Once on the Interstate, Norman turned the car around facing the wrong direction (oncoming traffic) and aimed his rifle at oncoming traffic. Thomas Moxon of Eagle Point, OR, stopped his 2015 Dodge Ram then he saw the Subaru. Norman then shot at and hit the truck three times. Moxon, whose small daughter was with him, then drove forward and ran over Norman with the truck. Norman died at the scene. Moxon stopped and called 9-1-1 and reported the incident. Sheriff's deputies report they were dealing with the victim at Callahan's when the call came in. Norman apparently did not know Bagley, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, and his reasons for killing him and stealing his car are unknown. Moxon reported that he did not know Norman, either. According to news reports, Norman's family described him as a man dealing with serious, undiagnosed mental health issues. It is not clear whether they were family in Oregon or in California. While news reports say that Norman was from Pacific Grove, Pacific Grove Police say that their records show he had moved to Marina. Cdr. Rory Lakind reports that there were minor encounters reported in the records, but he says that there was nothing serious in their records. The investigation is ongoing.

In years past, a lone butterfly - the first of what we’d hoped were thousands - flew through the blessing ceremony at the Monarch Sanctuary, thrilling attendees. This year not one, but four monarch butterflies appeared. This one landed on the shed roof on adjacent property. More photos on page 8. Photo by Robert Pacelli.

Equifax Hacking: The IRS Steps In By Gary Baley If you thought the drama of Equifax and the Credit Triopoly was subsiding, think again. At a congressional hearing Tuesday, Richard Smith, ex-CEO of Equifax, who “retired” last week, testified under oath and dropped a few bombshells. The size of the data breach has gone from “up to 143 million” to “145.5 million” Americans. One wonders if that is the final tally. At least now the weasel-words are gone; there is some certainty to the numbers. The US population is 350 million, 90 million of which are under legal age, leaving 260 million adults. Therefore 56 percent of the adult population has had sensitive private information exposed in this debacle. Don’t ask – don’t tell. Smith first heard of “suspicious activity” on July 31 and hired cybersecurity experts on August 2. Under questioning from the subcommittee, he admitted that he never asked whether personal identifying information was possibly breached. He only asked for a briefing on the investigation two weeks after the break-in and only notified the board of directors on August 24. Meanwhile, top executives sold millions of dollars of stock. On September 7, the public was notified. “If that happened, somebody needs to go to jail,” said Senator Heidi Heitkamp, on the Senate Banking Committee, “It’s a problem when people can act with impunity with no consequences. How is that not insider trading?” Where’s the patch? The computer program vulnerability had a fix; but it wasn’t applied at Equifax until after the data theft was discovered. Why? Smith blamed an unnamed person who failed to alert his information-technology team, and he blamed an unnamed scanning program that should have detected the vulnerability. One thing he didn’t blame is the widespread corporate culture of indifference toward consumers. In a September 29 article, Bloomberg News stated “In the corridors and break rooms of Equifax Inc.’s giant Atlanta headquarters, employees used to joke that their enormously successful credit reporting company was just one hack away from bankruptcy. They weren’t being disparaging, just darkly honest.”

Where’s the encryption? One might assume that such a treasure-trove of private data on over one-half of all adults in America would be stored in secure heavily-encrypted computer files. The “crown jewels” of names, addresses, birthdates, social security numbers and who knows what else. When asked about it, Smith said “this data was not encrypted at rest,” which are weasel-words meaning that dossiers on you and me were stored on disk in plain text—easy to find, easy to read, easy to steal. Where’s the accountability? Equifax has offered free credit monitoring for a year to any member of the public; but it doesn’t cover the other members of the Triopoly, Experian and TransUnion. We’ll have to pay them. And the shelf-life of this stolen data is a lifetime. After one year, we’ll have to pay Equifax too. So we the people have to pay protection money to these corporate quidnuncs for the rest of our lives while their executives retire with multimillion dollar nest eggs. Comforting isn’t it? Where’s the sanity? The greatest bombshell of the week was an announcement that the IRS has awarded Equifax a solesource no-bid $7.25 million contract to “assist in ongoing identity verification and validations” and help prevent fraud. Well someone has to help pay the multi-million dollar retirement packages of the ex-Equifax execs; it might as well be the taxpayers. I wonder what the IRS is giving Equifax besides money. Does this give you a warm fuzzy feeling, or does it bespeak a queasiness in your stomach? For me, it’s the latter. Business is booming at companies that are hawking identity theft protection. LifeLock comes to mind. They report a tenfold increase in subscriptions. I’ll wager that most subscribers don’t know that LifeLock uses Experian services and data to deliver their product. According to The Atlantic “Two major credit reporting agencies have been lying to consumers. A CFPB investigation concluded that TransUnion and Equifax deceived Americans about the reports they provided and the fees they charged.” The Bureau also found Equifax to be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Before getting a free credit report, consumers were forced to view Equifax advertisements, which is against the law. A cyber security firm Krebs on Security states “Prior to its breach disclosure, Equifax spent more than a half million dollars in the first half of 2017 lobbying Congress to pass legislation that would

limit the legal liability of credit bureaus in connection with data security lapses.” Bloomberg also reported that Equifax and Mandiant, the company hired to investigate the breach, got into a squabble that lead to delays, which gave the hackers time and opportunity to exploit the Equifax vulnerability for several months. Equifax had no comment. Impact “The impact of the Equifax breach will echo for years. Millions of consumers will live with the worry that the hackers— either criminals or spies—hold the keys to their financial identity, and could use them to do serious harm” according to Bloomberg Business News. In an interview with CNBC, Richard Cordray, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director said “It is not enough to have enforcement come after the fact. We’re going to have to have preventative monitoring in place. The companies are going to have to change their behavior. They can’t just deal with problems on their own and think it’s good enough. They are going to be monitored and they are going to have to accept that.” He also said it’s important to monitor Experian and TransUnion in the same way. We the people But what about we the people? Why are we in this credit trap? I was refused rental of an apartment because I was not in the Triopoly’s databases. I lived in Japan for nne years and they lost track of me. I didn’t have bad credit—I had no credit. I ended up paying a full year’s lease in advance in order to live in Monterey. I used to work in computer communications, and I know there is no real security on Internet-connected computers, so I wanted to buy a car with cash to avoid being a product to be sold and exposed by the credit bureaus. I couldn’t unless I filled out a credit application and got myself into the Credit Triopoly’s data bases. In this bizarre system, one who lives responsibly and pays as he goes is treated the same as a deadbeat. It’s time for our representatives in Congress to break up this national Credit Triopoly and return control to the states and to the people. We should be able to opt out and be forgotten by these irresponsible corporate giants who take our private information for free and then try to sell it back to us as protection. Are you at risk? If you check Equifax’s portal www. equifaxsecurity2017.com please let us know the results. Send us an email at garybaley@cedarstreettimes.com and we’ll publish the results in a future edition.

Online Marijuana Survey for Pacific Grove

Dear Reader,

In the 2016 election, the citizens of Pacific Grove strongly supported Proposition 64 to make recreational marijuana legal in California. The new law goes into effect on Jan 1, 2018. Pacific Grove now has the opportunity and the need to determine our response to the law. We are fortunate that Abasin Ludin, who is a peninsula resident and graduate student in Public Administration, is doing a Capstone Project on the topic of marijuana in our local community. Mayor Bill Kampe is sponsoring Abasin in his research. The results may help inform Pacific Grove City Council and staff about our community views on various aspects of recreational marijuana. We hope that you will help us by filling out this short questionnaire. Your participation in this survey will take about 5 minutes to complete and all responses will remain anonymous as well as highly confidential. Please click on the following link or copy and paste it in your web browser to begin the survey: https://goo.gl/psSpiQ Your feedback will assist us greatly. Thank you for your participation!

Changes to RV ordinance are coming

A controversial ordinance which would prohibit overnight parking of trailers and oversize vehicles in Pacific Grove between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. has passed its first reading – with changes expected by the time the second reading rolls around in a few weeks. After numerous complaints, the City had held a review of the municipal code provisions around such parking and found that parking of oversize vehicles and trailers on public streets can provide neighborhood blight and deterioration, impair visibility, constitute a nuisance, and be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare. Much public input was sought and accepted. There was extensive research on the complaints, and met and compared Pacific Grove's proposed ordinance with those of Monterey and several other cities. There was a lively public forum on Sept. 13 which provided a lot of inut. The new ordinance will provide for measuring from the front to the rear of the vehicle and exclude bumpers, tail lights, racks and other extra parts. It will limit the time such a vehicle belonging to a member of the public can be parked overnight to 72 hours a week. Loading and unloading as well as vehicles under repair will be exempt. At no time can the vehicle, or any other motor vehicle, be used a living or sleeping quarters.

De-accession of item in Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History collection approved by City Council The Pacific Grove City Council approved the de-accession of one adult human ulna held by the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and transfer to the United States Army Garrison, Presidio of Monterey in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The Museum Foundation Board’s proposed the de-accession of one human ulna of an adult of indeterminate sex which had been donated to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History collection in 1960 by Donald Howard. The proposed de-accession comes following a request made by the United States Army Garrison, Presidio of Monterey (Army) which is in the process of repatriating Native American human remains and funerary objects. The Army’s request is in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

Ocean Sunfish

Mola mola

Ocean Sunfish are large slow-moving fish, averaging ten feet long and weighing in at 2200 pounds, commonly found in warm waters throughout the Pacific Ocean. They lack the tail that other fish possess, using large dorsal and anal fins for propulsion. Despite holding the title of largest bony fish, their diet consists mostly of jellyfish. Sunfish can occasionally be seen basking near the surface with one side facing toward the sun.

Food Scrap Collection now Made at Farmers Market The City of Pacific Grove and Everyone’s Harvest Farmer’s Market are pleased to announce that food scraps will be collected at the market for composting beginning September 25.

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.

Bay Area Honor Flight: The Trip of a Lifetime A few months ago, like a lot of us, I was thinking about the strange things happening in Washington DC. I had never been there but recalled reading an article in The Cedar Street0 Times by a veteran who had visited Washington courtesy of the Bay Area Honor Flight Foundation. I found their friendly website, applied, and was accepted for a September flight that was a marvelous experience. Our flight included 27 WWII and Korean War vets each accompanied by a “guardian,” required to assist the vets, keep us involved, etc. I was fortunate to have my daughter Jane as my guardian and it was the most time we've been able to spend together in about 45 years. Several other vets also had a child or grandchild as their guardian. The vets on our Honor Flight all came from Northern California. I was surprised and delighted to meet a father and son team from right here in Pacific Grove: John and Mark Goings. And I reconnected with an old friend and fellow Marine, Denny Weisgerber from Milpitas, whom I hadn't seen for several years. There were also vets from Salinas, Santa Cruz and Hollister. At SFO we met the three Honor Flight staff members who would be our leaders. Wheelchairs were provided for each vet and were used during all phases of the Honor Flight. A wheelchair team made up of three of our guardians efficiently made our stops at the memorials and museums quick and easy. We arrived at Reagan National Airport at 5 PM, checked into our hotel and had a buffet dinner. On Friday we visited the WWII, Air Force and Women in Military Service Memorials, two museums and the Arlington National Cemetery. There we watched the Changing of the Guard and I was one of four WWII vets who participated in the wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns. We had a formal dinner Friday evening followed by a program presented by our flight leaders. Saturday we visited the Lincoln, Navy, Korean and Vietnam War Memorials. I was sorry that we could not visit the Marine Corps Memorial because it was being refurbished. I had fought on Iwo Jima and hoped to see the statue made from Joe Rosenthal's iconic photo of the flag being raised on Mt. Suribachi. An exciting part of our visit was the fact that we had a police escort, motorcycle and SUV with sirens and flashing lights, everywhere our bus went! Imagine Friday commute traffic and Saturday tourists all making way for our bus. We saw two other Honor Flight groups, from Oregon and Wisconsin, and I think we saw twice as many memorials and museums because we had the police escort paid for by the Bay Area Honor Flight Foundation. Another plus was that we had a retired Army colonel with us as a tour guide who pointed out, via an excellent PA system, various memorials, museums, government offices and other interesting sites. He also shared a good collection of military-themed jokes. When we arrived at SFO on Saturday night we went through a cordon of about 100 cheering folks that included the American Legion, USO, family and friends. We were then entertained by six couples from a swing dancing club wearing 1940s clothes as well as an eight piece bagpipe band. Then the band led us, still in our wheelchairs, through the airport surprising many travelers going to and from their flights. Final words were shared and we were told that there would be a reunion late in October. My Bay Area Honor Flight could truly be called the trip of a lifetime.

Blessing of the Butterfly Sanctuary, 2017

An overflow crowd helped Tribal Chairwoman Louise Ramirez and Khenpo Karten Rinpoche call blessings on Pacific Grove’s Butterfly Sanctuary last Saturday, September 30.

In years past, a lone butterfly - the first of thousands - flew through the ceremony, thrilling attendees. This year not one, but four monarch butterflies appeared. The ceremony was founded by the late Helen Johnson.

thing that those books cannot cover, how did Rembrandt know to present his paintings in such a simplified and luminescent way? Was it a lack of lighting in his north lit studio, or perhaps in a fit of frustration he threw something together and his style was developed? I am sure there are many historians that can shed the light on his day to day living and his studio arrangement, but that would defeat the point of what I am saying. In sales we used to say. “If it’s all about the product knowledge then the engineers would be the top sales-man.” If you’ve been in sales you know this is not true, a real salesman knows how to show people what they want to see, and hide the things they don’t. Rembrandt understood this with his masterful compositions and hopefully with hard work and persistence (and many more master-copies) I will have just as strong as an understanding of it.

What does God say about growing old? Bill Cohen

Reasoning With God What does growing old mean? If you asked a 5 year-old and a 75-year old, you would get very different answers. Does this mean that the experience gained in those 70 years brings us a different perspective on age and growing old? Prov 20:29, “The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.” Is God telling us that growing old, including the gray hairs we gain along the way, bring a form of beauty not yet earned during our youth? 2 Cor 4:16, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” Is God saying the outer beauty of youth can transform into the inner beauty that continues to improve as we age? How? Rom 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Does God not call us to renew our mind by reading the Bible? What will happen if we ignore this and do not work to improve our inward being? Our outward beauty will wane no matter how hard we fight to save it and one day we will all return to dust, Eccl 3:7, “All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.” How futile are our efforts to stop time, what has been the cost, how

much have we wasted and what will we gain by it? Jam 4:14, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” This life is short, it could end in a heartbeat, what will we do with it? Will we use this time to acquire the inner beauty God loves? Will this inner beauty not shine His light into a dying world, so that lost souls can find their way to God? Matt 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Is there any greater meaning for this life? Ps 71:18, “Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.” Does showing our strength mean we share the wisdom we have acquired over the years? Are we to teach this wisdom to all who are willing to hear? Rev 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Will we be able to feed all those who are all willing to hear? Or, will we waste this life and have nothing to feed them?

Ps 90:12, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” How do we apply our hearts to wisdom? Is numbering our days an important element? Does numbering our days mean we are not to waste them on pleasure only, to the exclusion of gaining wisdom? Prov 4:26-27, “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” When we live long enough to acquire gray hair, we experience the long-term results of the choices we have made and those we have seen others make. Does this experience provide us the proof we need to better understand God’s advice? Ps 19:7, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” If we believe there is more to this life than just trying to enjoy it, what are we doing about it? God has given each of us our allotted time on earth, so that we may figure this out and do something?

But, what are we supposed to do? Prov 3:6, “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” When we acknowledge Him in all we do, He will direct our paths. So, acknowledging Him is where we should start, Matt 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Seeking His righteousness is the beginning. If we are lucky enough to acquire gray hair, it might be because we have not yet completed the work God has called us to do. What has God called us to do? Jer 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” If God has an expected end planned for us, why aren’t we looking for it? We need to do something today, for we never know which day will be our last. Comments, opposing opinions and suggestions for future topics are all welcome at: bill@reasoningwithgod.com.

Sports Shorts

By Mei Bailey

Esther Lee

This fall marks senior Esther Lee's sixth season of golf. She first began to play golf in middle school, convinced by a friend to try out for the sport. Esther soon was charmed by the close and intimate atmosphere of the team and continued to play when she reached high school. As a veteran player, Esther has been team captain since her Junior year and has helped to shape what the team is today. Since her freshman year, Esther has both witnessed and facilitated a change in her fellow team members, helping them become stronger and ever more supportive as a group. Esther sees the team's recent difficult loss against Santa Catalina School not as a setback, but as a stepping stone to further develop her team so they will be in top condition for the Championship. She hopes to preserve the lively attitude that the team has taken towards the sport, even when she is gone next season.

PG v. SLV sees PG on the losing end

This was first time Pacific Grove has faced San Lorenzo Valley in over a decade. This game was SLV's homecoming. The two teams fought gallantly through the first and second quarter. With a shutout on both teams in the first quarter, the second quarter was a smash mouth, run heavy football game. At the half score was 7-3 SLV. During the third and fourth quarter, SLV continued to use a ground and pound attack with a third down pass that ate up the Pacific Grove secondary. The final would end up being 29-3, an SLV victory. - Chris Crandell

Not in my Back Yard

Jane Roland

Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts This column will be about thoughts. Obviously, mine. For the past five months we have been looking for a spot for a shop benefitting Pacific Repertory Theatre. When we left our previous store, we were asked immediately to start one for the esteemed theatrical group. We were thrilled. We thought at first, we might locate in Pacific Grove but were told the town was maxed out with such establishments. I recall a few years ago when there was quite a discussion about “thrift” shops taking over America’s Last Home Town. In the summer of 2015, the powers that be instituted an ordinance that there could be no more than 12 in town and two on Lighthouse. We looked around New Monterey and down town then what we thought was a miracle occurred. Tail Waggers announced that it is closing and a space on Lighthouse became available. We were very excited thinking that we would bring to downtown PG some real glamour. With Frank and set designers doing the windows, featuring the productions of the moment and seasonal themes it seemed a natural. A great many young people in the town have been involved with School of Dramatic Arts (SODA), appeared in their productions and, for years, many plays were performed at Sunset. A natural, right? Not so. Included in the list of “no-no’s” is anyone that might be selling second hand…including art galleries and antique shops. We gave up and have found a couple of spots we are researching in Monterey. Now I want to educate those of you who think of benefit shops as “junk emporiums”. People who donate to causes they support give their best. Things that they can no longer use, estates when they are moving, designer clothing which no longer fit, jewelry that might do some good. It is rare that we get items to discard, if we do, we pass them on to those who need them. Travelers seek out towns that feature such stores. For many years a group of us went to the Gold Country and spent a day or two investigating the stores featuring formerly owned goods. This is true all over the country. In fact, it is becoming the rage, quality vintage or expensive pre-owned clothing deemed preferable to cut rate new stores. We had visitors from all over California, in fact from all over the country, who made our shop a point of destination. Tourists come to town and look for the shops selling second hand goods. Now we (the volunteers from our previous store) and I are working on a huge estate, everything has been given to us…the most glorious clothing, decorative items, art work, dishes and furniture that you can imagine. We are having an estate sale on November 10,11, and 12…and will carry it over until everything is gone. At that point we will

MAINTENANCE SERVICE

probably have a shop up and running. You will have lots of warning and notice. It is almost a Dr. Seuss story, the little island that stands alone, Horton Hears a Who...? Speaking of Dr. Seuss: Did you hear that Melania Trump wanted to donate a collection of the beloved author's books to a library? Her offer was declined. Why? Because, according to the librarian, Dr. Seuss was racist. When you pick yourself off the floor, I will explain…The cat in the hat wears a big red bow tie. That is suggestive of the old minstrel shows which are, of course, now in the basket of politically incorrect items. Poor Porky Pig, Donald Duck and Boo Boo…you are no longer acceptable. I am tired of what is correct and what is not. We must guard our vernacular or we might offend someone. I am exhausted by the kneeling, not kneeling, standing, of the football teams who make more money than everyone on my block put together. They have every right to believe as they do, although, I must confess, the Civil War has been over for many years. Most of those protesting did not see our boys return (or not return) from the last World War, battleworn and battered. Many have never seen unity in our country, except for a short time after 09/11… Yes, we have done horrendous things, but not most of us personally. We cannot undo the sins of our fathers, any more than we can take credit for their virtues. We need to move ahead, address the problems in our country, and many abroad. Forget the football players. Enjoy the games if you will and move on to the important things in life and this goes for our President as well. Today there was another mass murder in Las Vegas… 58 dead to date, 515 injured, the largest such crime in our country. Each one is the largest. What’s next? When I was young, in fact when my children were young, there was no problem when a child was out after dark. There was little issue with young people being apprehended. If there was a kidnapping it made the news big time. Now it is commonplace. There seems to be no day when there is not a story about a killing or mass murder. Mr. Moon is not staring down on a peaceful world. Stephen Moorer is staring in “Cyrano” at The Outdoor Forest Theatre. It is a stunning performance and wonderful production through October 15. In November we will see “Mamma Mia.” As I have said many times, support your local theater. My son, Jay DeVine and the Paper Wing Theatre group will entertain you with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” coming up soon, for Halloween. I welcome your comments and please save your goods for our new benefit shop which will open soon. Jane Roland – gcr770@aol.com.649-0657

How do I get a sake cup of my own at Zum Sushi? Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Pacfic Grove

I love sushi. I lived in San Diego for university and would eat sushi several times a week. It’s a lovely light meal for a warm day, and being that we are in the middle of Indian Summer, it was a welcome treat. This week’s review is of Züm Sushi on Central Ave just as you enter PG from Monterey. The establishment is in the former Thai Bistro II and has been there since June 2015. If you aren’t familiar with the building, it’s a charming blue and white structure that looks to be a converted house. I went after a long day of work, a day of not only working, but also running errands on my lunch break and taking phone calls and preparing for travel. What I’m trying to say is the first thing I ordered as I sat down was a cold beer. The waitress took note and came back with 2 big spicy mussels, one for both my dining companion and myself. Next came the beer, I ordered a regular Sapporo and my friend ordered the Sapporo Black and those came with two frosty cold pint glasses, perfectly suited to quench my thirst and help me turn the chapter of the day into evening and relaxation time. We put in our order for a couple of sushi rolls but I wanted something else first. The sweet waitress with the adorable lisp and angel’s voice recommended the stuffed jalapeños. “Sounds great!” I said and then I looked at the menu: deep fried jalapeños with spicy fish, cream

cheese, tobiko, and green onions. (Tobiko is flying fish roe, or more plainly, fish eggs.) “Hm. I don’t really care for cream cheese.” I said. “You don’t?” Inquired my dear friend and dining companion. I guess I have a reputation for eating everything. “I just don’t care for it with fish and sushi.” “We can do half with cream cheese and half without,” the waitress had reeled in our tangential conversation. “Perfect!” I said. We decided to order the Mio spar-

kling sake as well. Because: 1. I was writing this article and 2. because I have to try the sparkling anything. It was sweet and effervescent, a lovely combination! I have enjoyed the hot sake there in the past and they have a nice selection of both filtered and unfiltered sake The stuffed jalapeños (sans cream cheese) were excellent! I heard that the cream cheese variety was magnificent as well..for those of the Philadelphia persuasion. Our rolls arrived not long after, I had ordered the Lovers Point and the PG Daddy, in honor of my home town. The PG Daddy rolls are huge! In addition to the regular sushi roll with several types of fish and avocado, it is battered, deep fried, and topped with peppers. The Lovers Point is a spicy tuna roll topped with tuna, salmon, seaweed salad with unagi sauce, spicy sauce, and tobiko. The rolls were wonderful and the service was great, too. Speedy and friendly. We sat back drinking our beers and sake and people watched, observing the adorable European couple with a bucket chilling the white wine at their table. A

mother and daughter sat to our right, the daughter relishing in her mochi ice cream—mochi is Japanese rice cake made of a very fine rice flour; mochi cream is a ball of ice cream wrapped in said rice cake. I have not had it at Züm but it is one of my favorite treats! However, we were completely satisfied following our meal with no room left to enjoy a dessert for ourselves. Züm Sushi is located on 159 Central Ave. in Pacific Grove. They are open daily for lunch and dinner at 11:30am2:30pm and 5:00-9:30pm, respectively. On Fridays they say open until 10:00pm, Saturday 12:30-10pm, and Sunday 12:30-9:00pm. There is bar seating and smaller tables in the bar section, as well as the main dining room and outdoor seating by a fire pit when the weather permits. I love the little cubby holes in the bar filled with sake cups…I wonder how I get one of my own?

High Contrast Camping: Apples and Peanut Butter Tom Stevens

Otter Views Tom Stienstra’s “California Camping” guide was among my first purchases when I moved to this state in the rainy December of 2010. Back then I thought I’d buy a van and check out the various campsites in that big blue book. More than 1,400 venues are listed. Instead I wandered into Pacific Grove, never bought the van, and fetched up behind the counter of a very pleasant book store for several years. That stint ended and a birthday nearing, I coaxed the camping book out of retirement last week. I wanted an outing that would convince a novice camper that sleeping on packed dirt in a tent is fun and character-building. I had earlier pitched to no avail the glories of wilderness backpacking, so this would be drive-up camping with whatever comforts a truck can carry. The camping venue had to offer comforts too: bathrooms, showers, fire circles and so on. I also needed a body of water that could float the two inflatable rowboats in my proud fleet. These caveats eliminated many of the 1,400 sites. At length my eye fell on this Stienstra entry: “An outstanding operation: big lake, 70 degree-temperatures, miles of shoreline; picnic tables and fire grills provided; drinking water, restrooms with showers and flush toilets, coin laundry, horseshoe pits . . . .” And so on. “There’s even a ‘lakeview restaurant’ if we get tired of apples and peanut butter sandwiches,” I read. Liz raised an eyebrow. “That’s our menu? Apples and peanut butter? Are you talking breakfast, lunch or dinner?” “All three,” I said. “Wait, just kidding! Don’t worry, we’ll have memorable camp meals we can heat up on my little propane burner.” “What’s this place called again?” “Lake Nacimiento. It’s down by Paso Robles. The summer season is over now, so it shouldn’t be crowded.” And it wasn’t crowded. It was very crowded. Our visit coincided with a fishing tournament that lured 200 anglers and a men’s retreat that drew 180 Christians. In addition, a sunny autumn weekend brought throngs of party boaters, jet skiers, wake boarders and water-skiers. “There might be one tent site left up there,” I pointed. “It’s probably not taken because it’s steep and lacks parking, but no worries. We should be able to lug our gear up from that nearby lot.” After pitching our humble tent, we gazed down over a vast encampment of sleek trailer boats, head-high pickup trucks and house-sized RVs with shade canopies and pop-out rooms. Smoke from a hundred barbecue units hazed the meaty air. Out on the sparkling lake, roaring speed boats and whining jet skis churned up wakes tall enough to swamp my inflatable fleet. “Wow,” I marveled. “These people have truly sensational toys.” “Look at that sporty red grill over there,” Liz gestured. “It’s on wheels, and it folds up and pops open. If we had one of those, we could make enchiladas, tacos, quesdadillas and pancakes.”

“I’ll put that on the list for next time,” I nodded. By the end of our stay, this list would lengthen as ever-more ingenious creature comforts appeared in neighboring campsites. Why hadn’t I thought to bring a double-wide sleeping futon? Or a battery-powered pole displaying multi-colored party lights? One of these festive poles marked the Christian men’s retreat camp. Hearing a soulful singer-guitarist Saturday night, we moseyed to the fringe of the darkened retreat quadrant. There the congregants sang praises, heard a stirring sermon from a policeman-pastor and witnessed the baptism of a young man wonderfully named Zion. “I’ve been camping a long time,” I whispered as we surreptitiously joined the men walking toward the water. “I’ve never seen a moonlit baptism in a lake.” That was Saturday. Other firsts followed on Sunday, when we trucked our stuff off to a different campsite out of earshot of the boisterous lake traffic. This Quail Ridge camp stood in high contrast to the first one: it was woodsy, unpopulated, quiet and smoke-free. The only noise makers were crows, jays, woodpeckers and mockingbirds. Having slept little in “roaring camp” the previous night, we spent Sunday in largely idle pursuits: bird watching, hammock dozing and sketching with colored pencils. A couple of hundred yards away, a conga line of trucks and trailer boats formed at the lake’s exit gate, but no one else came to the Quail camp. By Monday it seemed the entire population of Lake Nacimiento had departed. No speed boats, fishing boats or jet skis cross-hatched the lake’s mirror surface. Toting my portable boats down to the put-in spot, I huffed and puffed and inflated them both. We rowed out onto still water as a sinking sun bathed the reservoir in light as golden as the California hills. Tom Stienstra’s camping guide was on the money.

Hispanic homeownership surges Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors

Market Matters Source: Curbed The typical American homebuyer, like much of the rest of the country, is increasingly young and Hispanic. According to statistics from the 2016 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report, jointly released this May by the Hispanic Wealth Project and the (NAHREP), the U.S. is in the midst of a Hispanic homeownership surge. Since 2000, Hispanic households have increased by 6.7 million, representing 42.5 percent of the nation’s overall household growth, a trend only expected to accelerate. Latinos are expected to make up 52 percent of new homebuyers between 2010 and 2030, fueled in large part by the nation’s 14.6 million Latino millennials and growth in the increasingly diverse suburbs. At a time when homeownership hovers near a 50-year low, more than 330,000 Hispanics formed new households last year. This is happening despite a low rate of inherited wealth in the Hispanic community, a shortage of low-cost housing options, and higher-than average loan refusal rates among potential Hispanic homeowners. Demographers note that high workforce participation and the “fervent desire to own a home” have driven

growth in Latino home buying. Many reports show this demographic playing an increasingly larger, and in some ways outsized, role in the U.S. economy. The most recent “State of the Nation’s Housing” study from the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) predicts minorities will fuel for three-quarters of the gains in U.S. households, with Latinos accounting for one third of these gains. It’s a symbol, perhaps, of the economic strength of Hispanics, which make up 17 percent of the U.S. population. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Hispanics accounted for 76.4 percent of the growth in the country’s labor force between 2010 and 2016, made up 20.8 percent of new entrepreneurs in 2015, according to the Kauffman Foundation, and started almost a million new, Latino-owned businesses between 2012 and 2016. While it may not come as a surprise that Hispanics will represent the largest segment of the Texas population by 2020, according to state data, and will be the prime source of population growth in both the Lone Star State and California, Latino populations are also on the rise all across the country.

Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to reopen Oct. 13

Cal Trans has announced the reopening of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge is scheduled, with a ribbon-cutting set for Friday, Oct. 13. The failure of the bridge in February, 2017 virtually cut Big Sur off from motoring visitors. Winter storms caused a landslide and locals watched the nightly news in horror as the 310-foot bridge fell off its pilings and into the canyon. It was demolished by road crews and the rebuilding began about eight months ago.

The 1031 Exchange Patrick Ryan

Local Real Estate Update Today’s article and the next one will be about the 1031 exchange. To begin with, I am not an accountant nor a tax attorney. These articles are solely meant for educational purposes. Please do not do any tax planning based on what your read here. Reach out to your accountant or tax attorney. Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Service Code allows sellers of investment property to postpone paying capital gains taxes as long as they reinvest the proceeds into “like” property. Today we will get an overview of what a 1031 is and the rules and regulations you must follow to benefit from the tax advantages. A 1031 exchange can really be looked at as a rollover of funds. Any gain from the sale of property can be rolled over into new property without paying taxes. There is no limit to the amount of times a seller may perform a 1031 exchange and with proper advice, taxes can be avoided altogether. There are seven specific rules or requirements to follow in order to qualify for a 1031 exchange. They are as follows: • Like Kind Property • A Qualified Intermediary Must Be Involved • 45 Day Identification Period • 180 Purchase Period • Equal or Greater Value • Tax Payer and Title Must Be the Same • Tax Payer Must Not Receive Gain When the IRS mentions “Like Kind” properties, it is relating to the use of the properties. The properties must be used for investment, trade or business. They cannot be your primary home or a vacation home that you have for personal use. Also, property held strictly for resale, like a flip, does not qualify for a 1031 exchange. Vacant land qualifies as investment property. The old property could be a commercial

building and the replacement(new) property could be a vacant lot, a rental home or a condominium that you will lease to someone. Remember, a primary residence can never be used in a 1031 exchange. The IRS requires that the seller/ tax payer in the 1031 exchange have no contact with the proceeds of the property being sold and this is where the qualified intermediary is required. The qualified intermediary is a third party who is independent in the transaction, prepares the necessary documents that will be provided to the IRS and holds the funds in an account to complete the exchange. The qualified intermediary cannot someone who the seller has had a family or business relationship in the past two years. The seller has 45 days to identify a replacement property or properties once the sale of the old property has closed. The 45 days are calendar days a2nd no extensions are allowed. The seller is able to identify up to three replacement/new properties without regard to cost. If more than three replacement properties are identified than the IRS limits the total value to less than 200 percent or double the value of the old property. The list of properties must be specific and have their addresses or a legal description to be valid. In the essence of space, we will finish this discussion next time. The 1031 exchange is somewhat popular on the Monterey Peninsula due to the fact that many properties are investment properties. I have just helped two separate buyers complete purchases this year that were 1031 exchanges and they were fairly easy to accomplish as long as we all paid attention to the rules. Until next time, please feel free to contact me with any questions. Patrick.ryan@sothebyshomes.com 831-238-8116

SPCA Advises Caution When Driving to Avoid Deer During Mating Season The SPCA for Monterey County advises drivers to use extreme caution when driving to avoid hitting deer on area roadways this time of year. Fall is deer mating season on the central coast and deer are significantly more likely to be on the move near and across roadways. Specifically The SPCA advises: Be particularly careful at dawn and dusk when driving, especially where visibility is limited. Use of high beams when appropriate can provide a greater area of visibility. Slow down and use extreme caution when approaching a deer standing near the side of a road. Be prepared for the deer to enter the roadway in front of the vehicle. If necessary, honk your horn and flash your lights to try to scare the deer off of the roadway. Be alert for more deer than you may see at that moment. Where there’s one deer, there are always more nearby. Use extra caution in areas where deer crossing signs are posted. These are areas where deer are known to cross roadways. Be particularly cautious in wooded and agricultural areas. Call The SPCA immediately if you see any injured or orphaned wildlife. Locally, areas of greatest deer activity at night are Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley Road, the Highway 68 corridor,

Holman Highway, River Road, and Highway 1 from Seaside to south of Carmel. Since September first, the SPCA Wildlife Rescue Center has responded to 56 reports of injured deer. These include multiple fatalities and two that rescuers were able to release from entrapment in fences. This week, the SPCA Wildlife Center has been receiving at least two calls a day about injured deer. Currently, there are six known injured, yet ambulatory, deer in Monterey that are too mobile to safely capture. SPCA Wildlife rescuers are monitoring the situations and welcome all calls about the location of these deer. The deer may recover on their own, but the SPCA relies on our community reporting injured deer to help assess their situation. Unfortunately, attempting to capture or tranquilize these deer (after which a mobile deer can travel for miles) often causes more serious injuries to the deer and the community. In 2016 The SPCA responded to 104 reports, with almost all the deer involved either dead on arrival or needing to be humanely euthanized immediately. The average insurance claim for deer/vehicle collisions in the United States is $3,995 per incident.

The Butterfly Effect Phyllis Edwards contributed the walking tour of PG’s Little Free Libraries—and the Preface to our community book—“Life in Pacific Grove, California,” which is excerpted here and appears in its entirety on book pages xvii to xix. Phyllis will be helping to sell books, along with illustrator Keith Larson, October 7, at the PG Library. She is one of the book’s main contributors and a PG volunteer extraordinaire! The Inspiration The scene is a small, yet airy room located in Jewell Park, Pacific Grove on a pleasant afternoon. The occupants, a rather motley group of adults, have entered the room, seated themselves in chairs around long classroom-type tables, and responded warmly to the cheerful greetings of the group’s facilitator, Patricia Hamilton. Patricia has designed the next nine monthly classes around the theme of present-day experiences, to ground writers in the present and to fully appreciate their life in Pacific Grove today. While students are busy writing their stories, Patricia is completing her own memoir for her grandchildren with her stories of life in Pacific Grove. These intrepid folks, originally attracted to the offering of “Guided Autobiography Memoir Class” in the abstract, now face the reality that actual writing must soon begin and, as Patricia introduces Theme 1: “How I Came to Live in the Grove,” some rather pinched facial expressions appear as writing implements begin to commit thought to print. The assignment is easy and not a bit beyond the ability or ken of any writer in the room, and thoughts and memories of each participant flow from the internal realm to paper or laptop in a sometimes steady, sometimes intermittent stream.

Keepers of our Culture Guest Columnist Phyllis Edwards At the end of the writing period, Patricia invites the participants to read their writings aloud to the group to foster a feeling of community. At this surely not unexpected invitation, discouraging thoughts invade the minds of some. Fears of shame or inadequacy raise their worrying heads and take form as introductory commentary to virtually every courageous writer’s offering: “Well, I don’t really write very well …” “I don’t know, I just …,” belittling their story before even daring to share with the group. Then the magic begins. Spontaneous, authentic reactions emanate from the listeners and each writer’s eyes open wide. With each listener’s response, thoughts of “Oh, this IS worth writing about …” and, “My little life IS worth something …” begin to replace the writer’s former fears. New perceptions emerge in both writers and listeners as they awaken to the realization that what deeply matters to all of them is people and their relationships, here and now. … … … The Process Thus the project began and its mechanics commenced. Inspired by Napoleon Hill’s philosophy of “Conceive, Believe, Achieve,” Patricia started with “OK. What do I need to do NOW?” Since Life in Pacific Grove would be the seventh collection of people’s stories Patricia had completed pro bono, she knew the basic

steps required to publish a book of this kind. … … … Patricia wanted the book to highlight Pacific Grove’s diverse faces: all kinds of people in all walks of life. This type of outreach would require a whole team of assistants. She recruited helpers who could gather stories from business owners, public relations specialists, employers and employees, and teachers and students. She always emphasized the opportunity to benefit the community as a whole, as the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the Pacific Grove Public Library. The Life in Pacific Grove team became the “P.G. book people,” carrying all over town bags and purses full of bookmarks, business cards, pictures, checklists, writing guides, and contact information (email, website, and phone). Patricia met with members of the Chamber of Commerce, tour guides, local magazine publishers, members of service clubs and special interest groups, and residents of retirement communities. Soon, the progress of the book became the new topic of discussion all over town, in coffee shops, bookstores, cafés, restaurants, offices, salons, bakeries, shops and, of course, the library. No resident, visitor, or student could escape the excitement about the stories soon to be preserved within the covers of a book, available to all to enjoy now and in the future.

The Butterfly Effect The publication of “Life in Pacific Grove” brings to life the truth that storytelling is universal, touching every culture in all corners of the globe. It provides evidence that stories have power to build bridges of understanding among individuals and groups that may otherwise appear to have little in common, yet are part of a community’s shared culture. An understanding that stories have power—to enchant, to inspire, to entertain, to define our lives, to bring us together as a community—will become apparent as you peruse the pages of this book. The butterfly effect posits that small changes in the physical world can have unpredictable, larger effects for the entire planet. Similarly, writing our stories and sharing them with others can affect people and their worlds in unexpected ways. While the action of putting our life story on paper may seem like a somewhat futile task at times, the power of the butterfly effect resides within it nonetheless. Even if you sense no specific lesson or purpose can come from writing about a particular episode in your life, you may find that calmness arises inside you, a peace that lingers as you view your life with greater clarity, wisdom and compassion. … … … The book you hold in your hands offers an opportunity to realize ever more fully the community spirit of Pacific Grove. As you read the individual offerings in this book, allow yourself to experience an awareness that you are a participant in the butterfly effect of life in this special place, to share the awakenings those writers in the first class experienced, and to know that the people and our relationships here do indeed transform our town and, ultimately, our nation and our world.

Homeless Hotspots—Part IV

A former pimple on the American face is now manifesting as acute acne Locating homeless women isn’t easy. If you want to hang out with them once you find them, “hold your horses,” as Dad would say. In other words, go slow and easy because, if you don‘t, you’re likely to be given the cold shoulder. Why? Because houseless women, as they prefer to be called, differ from their male counterparts in one obvious way: Homeless men are visible. Women are almost invisible. Are men more fraternal than women? Decide for yourself. Look in the eucalyptus grove across from the Naval Postgraduate School on Fremont Ave. in Monterey. On a sunny day, you’ll spot a dozen casually clad men on benches, trading bicycle parts, sharing snacks, and talking. How many women do you see kicking back, swapping stories and laughing while sporting heavy backpacks? None in groups. Maybe one or two loners pushing heavily laden shopping carts and probably clothed in filthy rags. Many homeless women look clean, fashionable and dressed for a day at the office. If they do hang out, it could be in a public library or community center. So, how do you find homeless women?

Introducing the ΣΑΨ Sorority

Contact non-homeless women who serve as their inadequately sheltered sisters’advocates. Most are employees of, or volunteers for, governmental or legal non-profit agencies that survive on donations and grants. Two local organizations, Homeless Outreach and Friends of Homeless Women, meet monthly and serve as umbrellas under which such agency representatives gather. They’re separate but linked by the ΣΑΨ Sorority bond: Σ=Sigma: Simply; Α=Alpha: Amazing; Ψ=Psi: Perspicacity

By Gary Baley After two decades of political wrangling, lobbying, and fundraising at the federal, state and local levels, the first phase of the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery (CCCVC) opened last October with much fanfare and well-deserved praise for the local politicians, foundations, and veteran groups that made it happen. Yet it was a bittersweet victory for some veteran families who for personal or religious convictions eschew cremations and could not be interred there. Phase 1 of the cemetery can house 5,000 cremated remains, but no in-ground burials. Jewish, Muslim, Greek Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, Mormon, and Presbyterian faiths either outright forbid cremation or have a strong preference for in-ground burial. Further, it is well-known that 40 percent of the populace as a whole favors in-ground burial. So in the inclusive-conscious, diversity-oriented California state government – what happened? Trying to get a straight answer from CalVet, the state agency that planned the phases of the cemetery, was futile. “There was never any intention to discriminate”,“Why are you trying to create an issue?” “Are you trying to suggest a conspiracy theory?” were frequent defensive phrases heard when just trying to find someone who would explain the thinking behind the plan that seemed to violate the First Amendment of our U.S. Constitution. No one would divulge a name of someone responsible for the seven-million-dollar project plan.

Homeless in Paradise

A homeless hotspot is any place unsheltered people hang in or hang out in order to hang on. Logo designed by Barbara Quin In short, they don’t give up or give in even if they’re “worn to a frazzle,” as my Ozarks mother would say. The contact persons are: Homeless Outreach, Sandy Larson, slarson2130@gmail.com. Representatives of religious, social, governmental and public groups, sometimes homeless women, discuss pertinent issues involving the homeless. Open to the public. Next meeting: Mon., Oct. 16, 1 p.m., First Presbyterian Church, 501 Eldorado St., Monterey. Friends of Homeless Women, Kathy Whilden, wildini@aol.com . This is the social outreach arm of the Fund for Homeless Women, a field-of-in-

terest fund for the Community Foundation of Monterey County that provides grants to qualified non –profits that help homeless women. Meetings are the 4th Wednesday. of most months, 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., at St. Mary’s by the Sea Episcopal Church, 146 12th St., Pacific Grove. What about non-qualified advocates like me? People presume I’m paid for “Homeless in Paradise” column that began running in Cedar Street Times in October 2014 and now reaches 5000 readers weekly through Facebook, Nextdoor and other social media mail. Truth is, it’s a free public service I fund privately in order to have freedom to speak my mind, such as, “Homelessness is a former pimple on the American face that’s now manifesting as national acne.” How much does it cost to produce Homeless in Paradise? Easy. It’s $120 per month.” Can I afford it? Not since my insur-

ance leaped $110 per month. For this reason, I’m holding my first private fundraiser and you’re invited! Books for Beds at Book Launch for PG At Patricia Hamilton’s gala all-day celebration of the book launch for “Life in Pacific Grove” tomorrow, Sat., Oct. 7 , 2017, I’ll give away seven of my titles with a Books for Beds contributions jar available for donations to sustain my column’s support of shelter for homeless women. Visit my table near the potluck from noon to 2 p.m. in Jewell Park. Contribute if you like. Suggest $8 for these little books: “A Rosicrucian Mystic’s Prayer”—The esoteric meaning of the 23rd Psalm combined with The Lord’s Prayer in terms applicable for use today. “Guruji’s Secret Love Sound”—A peace-producing, protective, love-attracting sound my 200-year old Indian guru called “the missing link.” “How to Enter & Win Poetry Contests”— Winning tips for writers drawn from my 21-years as administrator of the National Annual Senior Poets Laureate Poetry Competition. Suggest $14 donations for these bigger books: “How to Build a Penny Pyramid”—Using J. D. Rockefeller’s easy, legal money-multiplication formula, convert $.01 seed coins to $100 cash yields. “The Boondoggler’s Bible”—How to fight like city hall to win. Fight bureaucratic red tape with stall-and-delay tactics to win your own case. “Legends—Gifts of Great Spirit”—Historical Native American folklore and final White Buffalo Tribe Native American Poet Laureate contest winners “Mind According to Logos”—by A. Irving Rosenberg. A documentary about my interview with my pituitary gland and surprising answers received.
