Between Nov. 8 and 10, person or persons unknown stole one of the city's brand new and much touted dual waste receptacle from where it had been just recently placed. The receptacle had been on the sidewalk between Fat Willy's Antiques and Union Bank.

The City was unaware that it had been stolen until a merchant called to complain about its absence, saying they liked the receptacle and wondered why “the city had removed it.” The city had not removed it.

The bin was one of 31 recently placed around the downtown area. Half of the receptacle is meant for garbage and trash, while the other half is designed for recyclables. The garbage half has a structure on top which is meant to deter seagulls, who habitually get

Pacific Grove motorists, residents and visitors alike have no doubt noticed a particularly large resident of the seasonal insect variety has taken up residence near the edge of town in front of Patisserie Bechler on Highway 68. A 300 pound, eight foot by eight foot butterfly has been placed on the traffic triangle in front of the restaurant and its appearance there was no accident.

The installation is the product of the imagination of Bechler’s owner Gerard Bechler and the creative and technical know-how of Pacific Grove resident Jon Thanos. While on holiday in his native France, Gerard visited the Jardin des Papillons, a botanical and butterfly garden in Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, and saw a large butterfly installation colored with flowers on display. The display reminded Gerard immediately of Pacific Grove, well-known as

a Central Coast butterfly-haven, and thought of possibly putting one up near his restaurant. He contacted his longtime friend and Pacific Grove resident, Jon Thanos, and they got to thinking on a concept.

“Whenever I need something special, I go see my artist friend here,” Gerard says indicating Jon. Thanos, a semi-retired former hair stylist, has known Gerard for the better part of a decade, and constructed the monarch adorning the restaurant’s highway-side wall several years prior. He also helped erect the windmill in King City and describes himself as having always been something of a tinkerer.

“I do a lot of woodwork, I like doing creative stuff and I like putting things back together,” Thanos says. “In this case it was making this idea of Gerard’s into a reality.”

The pair of them reviewed sketches and ideas and after a couple of weeks, settled on a design. They wanted something that calls attention to the directional sign that was already on the traffic triangle and greets passing visitors and residents in a uniquely Pagrovian fashion.

“When people enter Pacific Grove on Highway 68, this is the first commercial building they see,” Gerard says, referring to the Patisserie. “It should say something.”

Jon, assisted by his son on break from Pitzer College, constructed a styrofoam duplicate before putting saw in hand to create the real thing. Construction took about $400 of materials, provided by Gerard, to put the installation and its base together.

The butterfly is made primarily of metal and treated redwood, purchased new, and over two dozen succulents populate the wing compartments on the outside. The choice of succulents for the exterior was deliberate, according to Gerard, for practical and environmental reasons. Succulents are often cacti and most are very water efficient, sucking moisture from the air instead of requiring regular watering to stay hydrated.

This allows the piece to use plants and retain a botanical element while remaining irrigation-free, cutting down on the water-use implications of maintaining the piece year round if it were stuffed with flowers instead. As many a Pacific Grove gardener would likely attest, succulents also bring the added benefit of not being particularly tasty to deer or any other Peninsula animal, allowing the installation to remain undisturbed by the hungry Pacific Grove residents so often the bane of local flower enthusiasts. After two weeks and as many long nights, they had a finished product ready for installation.

Gerard and Jon are pleased with what they’ve constructed and better yet, the community’s response so far has been positive. On installation day, according to Thanos, numerous visitors drove by and complimented the piece and the social media response has been more than enthusiastic.

“We’ve gotten a great response right off the bat,” Gerard says. “This sort of art breeds community participation and it doesn’t take much money to do something like this.”

Patisserie Bechler is located at 1225 Forest Avenue, open daily starting at 7:00a.m. and is closed Sundays.

The receptacles were purchased by the city with a grant and each is valued at about $1800 and weighs more than 300 pounds.

Anyone with information about the theft is requested to call the police department at 831-648-3143 or environmental programs manager at 831-648-3188.

Excerpts from the presentation at City Council by Milas Smith, Environmental Programs Manager, City of Pacific Grove The Governor and legislators have set an ambitious goal of a 75 percent recycling, composting, or source reduction of solid waste by 2020. The task of executing this mandate has fallen on the Department of Resource Recycling and Recover, (CalRecycle).

This is a recycling goal as well as a diversion goal. This means that by 2020 more than 20 million tons per year need to be recycled statewide as opposed to heading to landfills.

By pairing a recycling container with every mixed waste container in the City of Pacific Grove, the average opportunity for recycling increases from 22 percent to 100 percent. Increasing the opportunity and attractiveness of recycling opportunity collection and disposal, both the community and the environment will benefit.

The project area includes all parks, recreational spaces and outdoor areas of public

PWESTERN FLYER

About the author Jim Costello

Jim Costello, a former mayor of Pacific Grove and long time Pacific Grove Middle School teacher, now makes his home in Port Townsend, Washington.

Like many others, he has fallen for the story of the Western Flyer the boat that John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts chartered for a trip to the Sea of Cortez in 1937 which was described in Steinbeck’s book.

Costello’s interest is a bit different as he has a personal connection to both the book and its author. Not only is his father, a local reporter, Jimmy Costello, mentioned several times in the book, but Costello was also fortunate to have had dinner with the author during several visits.

Another connection is Costello’s birth certificate, which records his first address as the Steinbeck cottage on 11th Street in Pacific Grove. As housing was in short supply during the second world war, Steinbeck let Costello’s mother rent the cottage while her husband was in France.

Now, with the Western Flyer rebuilding underway in Port Townsend, Costello has been watching the progress as he rides his bike through the shipyard.

Like many others, he can’t wait to see the finished boat make its way back down the coast to Monterey where it will make its home for half of each year.

a possible donor who may help purchase that wood. All this while he builds a time line for the reconstruction of the hull, as well as planning the addition of modern electric power for the boat. Then, Chase must find donors or foundation grants to pay for those materials. All of these tasks are made easier by his love for the boat and the concept of seeing the restoration completed.

But Chase is not the only one who has fallen for the rotting wreck of this old fishing boat. John Gregg, President of Gregg Drilling and head of the Western Flyer Foundation, like Chase has a great passion for the vessel. He has shown his commitment to the concept by purchasing the boat as it sat on the ground at the Port Townsend harbor.

He has shifted his energy into forming a foundation to restore the boat and give it a new future as an education vessel with green power and state of the art research gear including a remotely operated vehicle to study the ocean’s depths.

Others who hear about the boat or have seen it inside the Shipwrights Co-Op where it is being restored have also fallen for the project. One Steinbeck fan, upon hearing a presentation by Chase about the restoration plans, handed over $100,000 along with a challenge to raise a duplicate amount which will pay for bending oak waiting to be purchased in New England.

Today, crews of three shipwrights are at work replacing the oak frames in the rear of the hull. These first 18 pairs of oak frames can be sawn to shape and slipped in place.

The remaining 62 pairs of frames must be steam bent and then driven into place inside of the decking planks. Many temporary braces have been put in place to keep the shape of the hull intact while all of the rotten timbers are cut out and replaced.

The pace of the work will increase with time. During the final year, Chase estimates there will be workers swarming over the boat when it is time to install the complicated propulsion system of electric motors and diesel generators to recharge monster battery packs while at sea. Then lab equipment and remotely operated vehicle will require specialist to install. All this is planned to be ready for launching in September of 2020.

The Western Flyer was made famous as a Monterey boat when it was chartered for the Ricketts and Steinbeck voyage, and that history is important to the foundation.

Plans call for the boat to live in Monterey for half of each year. And the Western Flyer Board of Directors has drawn from this heritage. Susan Shillinglaw, Executive Director of the Steinbeck Center, serves on the board as well as Bill Gilly from Hopkins Marine Station. Chase also sees part of his job is as he describes it to“introduce the project to the Monterey community and have them embrace it as their own.”

Although Chris Chase spends most of his time in the Port Townsend area, he makes frequent trips to the Monterey Peninsula. He is available to speak to organizations in the area about the Western Flyer, its restoration and future. He can be reached by email at: chris@westernflyer.org.

Chris Chase formerly project manager and shipwright at the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op, now is the staff of the Western Flyer Foundation.

A short history of The Western Flyer

The Western Flyer, a 72' Monterey fishing boat made world-famous by author John Steinbeck and marine biologist Edward F. Ricketts on their 1940 voyage to Baja California's Sea of Cortez has been saved from dereliction. The 1940 expedition resulted in the co-authored publication, “The Sea of Cortez.”

It was acquired for preservation and restoration as a floating classroom to operate from her historic home harbor of Monterey. After sinking twice at her mooring in the Swinomish Channel near Anacortes, Washington, and spending an extended period of time in a nearby Port Townsend boat yard, the owner of a geotechnical site investigation company has purchased the vessel for an undisclosed sum.

The vessel has been acquired by John Gregg, of Gregg Drilling & Testing, Inc. John Steinbeck's 1951 Viking Press publication of “The Log From The Sea of Cortez” portion of the original book is Steinbeck's classic account of the scientific expedition to the Gulf of California and a philosophical tour de force of the strength and depth of the co-authors relationship. Its introduction, “About Ed Ricketts,” is Steinbeck's famous tribute to his closest friend, mentor, muse, and one of America's greatest naturalists.

Finding the Western Flyer: the Long Version

By Marge Ann Jameson (2015) It was in the blood. Bob Enea's family had been boat owners and fishermen from Sicily – for generations – and even though his father wanted Bob to do something else with his life, Bob was nonetheless drawn to the sea.

In particular, he was curious about the Western Flyer.

It had been his family's boat. The venerable purse seiner had been chartered by John Steinbeck to sail him and Ed Ricketts to the Sea of Cortez, resulting in the book, “Log From the Sea of Cortez,” still read by thousands every year But what happened to it when they got back to Monterey? Bob Enea had to know where the boat was after his uncle Tony sold it.

He started making phone calls, and says it was like a chain, each call leading to a story leading to another phone call, talking to somebody who knew somebody

who knew where the boat was...all the way to Alaska. But he didn't find the Western Flyer. The trail went dead.

Then his uncle Tony suggested Bob look for it using the radio call sign. Bob knew what that was. He went straight to the Coast Guard in Alameda, California and found out that the Western Flyer had become the Gemini.

Bob had found his boat.

Then while serving on the board of the Steinbeck Center in Salinas, Enea transmitted his dream of finding the Western Flyer and taking it to Salinas to the rest of the board. They were digging the foundation of the Steinbeck Center and discovered that the corner of Market and Main rested on a marsh. The $4 million cost overrun, spent sinking concrete down to bedrock, ate up anything allotted for the Western Flyer.

The then-owner said it wasn't for sale.

He had been using it as a salmon tender.

But it was too small, and too slow, to ferry the salmon catches from the sea to the canneries, and eventually the Gemini was retired and the owner lost his job, too. He still kept saying it wasn't for sale.

Bob formed the Western Flyer Project, began raising funds to buy and restore the Western Flyer, and a story in the newspaper about a fund-raising dinner on the Monterey Wharf piqued the interest of a Mr. Kehoe who ran right up to Anacortes, Washington and bought the boat right out from under Bob's nose.

When Bob contacted Ole Knudson, the owner of the Western Flyer and tried to buy it from him, the price had gone to $600,000 and required that, within two weeks, $600,000 would go into an escrow account and guarantee that it would be restored.

Meanwhile, the Gemini was allowed to sink twice, and rested in the mud in Anacortes. The mud actually proved a

boon to preservation of the boat.

Enter the Gregg Brothers and their drilling company out of Southern California. Steinbeck fans, they bought the Western Flyer and pulled it out of the mud. Their plans call for a restoration of the famous boat and its conversion to use as an educational venue.

Open House – Yea or Nay?

PacRep Theatre Honors Denny LeVett as “Bohemian of the Year”

Patrick Ryan

Local Real Estate Update The decision has been made, the paperwork has been signed and your home is going on the market for, hopefully, a quick sale. One of the key questions at this point, is should you have an open house or not? Just like everything else in real estate, there are many different and conflicting opinions. So, let’s approach this honestly and examine the idea.

An open house is basically scheduling a date and time for your realtor to allow the general public to come in and look at your home. The date and times are usually advertised in the newspaper and also online. Your realtor will be there to show your home and answer any questions. As opposed to having to schedule a time to see the home with their agent or with the listing agent, an open house allows potential buyers to conveniently see the home during a set aside time on the weekend.

A common thought/complaint is that realtors only have open houses to get clients and that it does not sell the home.

While it is true that agents do get clients by holding open houses, open houses also definitely sell homes, especially on the Monterey Peninsula. The saying goes that “all real estate is local” and that is very true on the Peninsula. The majority of buyers are coming from the Central Valley or the Bay Area and they have already “visited” homes online when they come over for an in person visit. These buyers will spend a weekend visiting all the open houses on their list and they will do this until they find the one they want. This is a fact I have seen repeated over and over.

One unique thing about our real estate market, is that the buyers do not live here.

In places like Fresno, where the buyers already live there, holding an open house is not as important. However, even then it is a good idea to hold an open house once it hits the market. Here, because of the fact that buyers don’t live here, it is much more efficient for them to come over and see many homes on one weekend. It also gives them an excuse to visit our beautiful area. Add in the average price of homes on the Monterey Peninsula and you can be darn sure that buyers will want to kick the tires a bit before making a purchase.

Open houses are held Saturday and Sunday for a couple of hours each day, usually a couple of hours. I personally believe the more eyes on a property the better and will hold five-hour open houses if the sellers are okay with it. I will also hold them open during the week and have found Thursdays to be especially effective.

This is all at the seller’s discretion.

There is a segment of our market where I would suggest either not having or severely limiting any open houses and that is the super luxury market. The buyer of a home listed for $20 million dollars will already have an agent and will more than likely need to show proof of funds just to see the house. An open house at this level does not really make sense. Otherwise, I would encourage sellers to consider allowing your realtor to schedule some open houses to facilitate a quick sale.

Pacific Repertory Theatre is proud to honor long-time resident, boutique hotelier, and renaissance man, Denny LeVett as the 2017 “Bohemian of the Year,” on Sunday, November 19 from 7 p.m to 8:30 p.m at the Golden Bough Playhouse, Monte Verde between 8th & 9th, in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served in the Golden Bough lobby before a short ceremony on the Golden Bough stage, which will be followed by a short reception to congratulate the well-deserving recipient.

According to writer Michael Shields (Silicon Valley Multifamily Group), “Denny’s charm may come from his natural draw toward performing, particularly comedy, one- liners and making people laugh. He entered college as a speech and drama major but by his senior year wondered what he would do upon graduating. He quickly switched to business and began with a single – and to him very boring – accounting class!”

Denny is President of Carmel Country Inns, Inc., is a highly-respected hotelier, particularly for his ownership with Doris Day of the world-renowned Cypress Inn. Denny is President of Strutz-LeVett Company, a property management firm that specializes in publicizing available property and accommodations, with offices in both Palo Alto and Carmel. As an active member of his community, Denny

serves on many Boards and champions causes close to Carmel.

Denny was raised on a farm in Iowa.

He grew up with a passion for pheasant hunting and, to this day, makes it back regularly to spend time at Lake Okoboji.

Hunting also gave him a love for antique firearms. LeVett first showed an interest in the antiques at the age of 9, and his father’s friends soon started giving him pieces for his collection. Now, LeVett owns the largest collection of Colt Paterson antiques in the world. (He also collects classic cars, is a pilot and a comedian!)

But his driving passion is for refurbishing older apartment buildings and hotels. He currently owns several in the Carmel area, including the Vagabond’s House Inn, Monte Verde Inn, Forest Lodge and the Cypress Inn, which he co-owns with his famous business partner, Doris Day. “I actually met Doris through her son, Terry Melcher,” recounts LeVett. “Melch — that’s what I called him — was a great friend and musician in his own right, and he begged me for years to take his mom on as a partner. Finally, I agreed.”

In fact, Denny and Doris may have single-handedly turned Carmel into the dog-friendly town it is today. According to Dina Eastwood (America’s Sweetheart, Carmel Magazine), “She and her beloved late son, Terry Melcher, teamed up with local businessman Dennis LeVett more than 20 years ago to establish one of the country’s most well-known pet friendly hotels, Cypress Inn.”

Emerging Trends in Real Estate Report Highlights Trends to Watch

Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors

Market Matters

Source: The Urban Land Institute

Generational home buying trends, the lingering impact of the Global Fi-

nancial Crisis and the economic outlook for the current recovery cycle all gain a mention in a joint report from the Urban Land Institute and PWC. Released Octo-

ber, the 39th edition of Emerging Trends in Real Estate highlights the markets to watch in 2018, with two Californian markets making the top 10.

Soft landing. High home prices may be creating panic in pockets of the U.S., but other economic indicators are trending towards a ‘soft’ rather than a ‘hard’ landing at the end of this economic cycle. Investors aren’t showing the same fervor as they have in previous economic recoveries, tending to remain

conservative or defensive as the cycle has matured. Plus, economic recovery from the GFC has been gradual with GDP growth averaging just 2.1 percent annually.

Generation Z. With a start date for the cohort ranging anywhere from 1995 to 2001, Generation Z may not have housing on their mind quite yet, but the industry needs to prepare for them. Likely to show an initial preference for urban centers, Gen Z has expressed a higher desire for homeownership than millennials in surveys of housing preferences conducted by brokerage firms.

Baby Boomers. Residual effects from the GFC, including the wiping out of retirement savings, and unemployed adult children staying in – or returning to – the family home have resulted in a ‘silver tsunami’ of baby boomers staying put for longer.

Los Angeles. Ranked number 7 in ‘markets to watch/overall real estate prospects in 2018, one of only two ‘primary markets’ and one of two Californian cities to make it into the top 10. Light rail investment is creating new opportunities; asset prices are still within ‘reasonable’ range for a gateway market.

San Jose. Ranked number 8 in ‘markets to watch.’

Training for a 5K Jingle Bell Run/ Walk: You still have some time

By Carla Corres

There are those of you that might find the idea of having to run as unappealing or too difficult, even moreso when thinking about having to run your first 5k. However, a 5k is an excellent goal for first timers. For many, getting started might be difficult but with determination and following a few easy steps you will be surprised at how quickly you’ll be on your way to running your first 5k (3.1 miles).

Once you decide to run 5k, expect to train for the event. Even though the 5K (3.1 miles) is a shorter distance, running without training could introduce soft tissue and bone injury, simply because you were under prepared. For that reason and before starting any exercise program, make sure to take the proper steps and check with a doctor. You want to be sure that you are checked and don’t have any health problems so that you may go into your race knowing you are in good health.

Tips to help you get started: • If you are starting from zero, taking any step no matter how small it may seem, is a step closer to your reaching your goal. For many working in groups or having an exercise buddy makes the process more enjoyable and provides a great support system.

So try to find a friend, family member or running club.

• Get the right running gear. You should find the right shoe that will help absorb shock, provide cushioning and stability therefore, consider consulting a running shoe specialist to get properly sized and fitted.

• Follow a training schedule. Be sure to give yourself 6-8 weeks of training prior to the event. Use the first 3-4 weeks to simply work up to running 1 mile and then add .5 mile each week to reach your 3.1 mile (5K) goal one week before the event.

• Practice and pace yourself. This is important not only to your body, but also your mind; trying to do too much, too soon, will leave you exhausted and discouraged and sometimes can result in injuries.

• Stretch and value your rest days as your body needs this time to recover from the stress forces during training. Train three days per week with a rest day in-between running days.

• But most importantly remind yourself that no goal is to unconquerable and remember we all have that little Thomas train inside us and tell yourself that you can do it!

• Last but not least have fun Happy running!

- Carla Corres B.S ACSM Carla Corres is a personal trainer at the Peninsula Wellness Center The Jingle Bell Run/Walk takes place on December 9. It is a timed 5K run or you can take part in an optional 5K fun walk. There is also a kid’s 1K led by a giant elf!

Breaker of the Week

By Luke Herzog

Freddy Albert

Frederick Nicandro Albert might have the best middle name in Pacific Grove High School, but that’s far from all he’s got going for him. The junior is a dedicated athlete, playing both baseball and football. Indeed, he was part of the baseball team that won the MTAL championship last year.

A football quarterback, Freddy fondly recalls an epic moment in a sophomore year game against Marina. With two minutes left in the half, he threw a touchdown

pass, contributing to the team’s first win of the year. Freddy’s love of sports also has translated to the written word; this year, he became a sports writer for the high school’s newspaper, the NewsBreaker. In addition, Freddy serves as treasurer for the Pacific Grove chapter of National Honor Society. Just this past Monday, he shook the hands of 26 newly-inducted NHS members. For always representing PGHS with a smile, Freddy Albert is our Breaker of the Week.

By: Eric Fonferek, Contributing Writer and Pacific Grove Football Assistant Coach The Pacific Grove Junior Varsity Football Team beat the Carmel JV Padres 17-14 in a hard-fought ballgame on November 3, 2017, to capture the MTAL JV Football Title, with a perfect 6-0 league record.

The Breakers (9-1, 6-0 MTAL) defense stopped the Padres (6-4, 5-1 MTAL) on their first possession on a fourth down at mid-field. The Breakers offense then methodically moved the ball down the field on their first possession, behind the running of Sophomore Flanker Caleb Torres and Sophomore RB Anthony DaSilva. The Breakers’ drive stalled at the 3-yard line, however, forcing PG to settle for a 20-yard field goal by Breakers’ Sophomore kicker Daniel Rosas, giving PG a 3-0 1st quarter lead.

The remainder of the 1st quarter and a good part of the second quarter were a defensive struggle, with neither team able to get its offense of track. That all changed with a perfect play call by the Breakers midway through the second quarter, when PG caught the Carmel defense in a double linebacker blitz. PG Freshman Quarterback Carlos Serratos hit Torres on a perfectly-executed middle screen. Sophomore WR Parker McAnally threw a key block downfield to spring Torres to the end zone from 32 yards out, giving the Breakers a 10-0 lead, which they took into the locker room at intermission.

Carmel came out in the second half determined not to give up the MTAL JV title without a fight. Carmel RB Benicio Cristofalo scored on a 19-yard inside run in the 3rd quarter to cut PG’s lead to 10-7. The game again turned into a defensive struggle into the 4th quarter, until Carmel RB Jamison Farrington scored on another inside run from 25 yards out, giving the Padres their first lead of the night at 14-10.

Carmel’s lead was short-lived however, as two plays after the ensuing kickoff, Serratos hit Torres, in stride, on a go route. Torres split the defense, for a 73-yard touchdown, giving the Breaker a 17-14 lead, late in the 4th quarter.

Carmel would mount a final, furious drive from inside the Breakers’ 20-yard line, with seconds remaining in the game. But key QB pressures from PG Sophomore LB Connor Brophy and Freshman DE Maximilian Podell forced a turnover on downs, securing the Breakers’ victory.

What’s particularly impressive about the JV Breakers championship season in general, and its win against Carmel in particular, is that they occurred in Head Coach Jeremiah Smith’s first season at the helm. When asked about the season, Coach Smith said, “We felt this team had something special after the Jamboree. They put in the work and results showed on the field every week.”

Regarding the Carmel game, Coach Smith said, “It was a hard-fought game with some great plays on both sides. It took a great kick from Rosas and fortunately our defense, who have been lights out all season, led by Defensive Coordinator Jeff Bautista, made a stand there late in the 4th to bring home the win.”

The JV Breakers earned non-league victories vs. Watsonville, Gonzales and St. Francis and league victories against Scotts Valley, San Lorenzo Valley, RLS, Soledad, King City and Carmel. The Breakers’ only loss came in another hard-fought ball game on October 26, 2017 at non-league Santa Cruz. The tough 17-14 loss against another undefeated team, galvanized the Breakers going into the championship game against Carmel. For the season, the Breakers averaged 29 points per game on offense while only surrendering 6 points per game on defense, to include five defensive shutouts vs. St. Francis, Scotts Valley, RLS, Soledad and King City.

The JV Breakers’ championship season comes at a particularly opportune time for Pacific Grove. The varsity team had a tough season due to low numbers and key injuries. Coach Smith said, “Coach Morgan (the Breakers’ Varsity Head Coach) and the Breaker faithful have something to look forward to next season!”

Superfood Prep for a Wine Tasting Bachelorette Party Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Paso Robles

This postcard comes to you from Paso Robles; I spent this past weekend there wine tasting for my college roommate’s bachelorette party.

We all arrived on Friday evening to a house we had rented. Well, by the time I had arrived there were two of the nine ladies drinking wine and watching a movie. I found a free bedroom and my book and fell asleep before 9pm…an excellent start to a weekend of wine and socializing!

The following morning, I woke before the whole house and went for a walk. It was Veteran’s Day and the Boy Scouts of Paso Robles were setting American flags out along the perimeter of the central square. I walked along until I found “Twisted & Glazed, a donut society” where I went in and ordered a coffee and an acai bowl. If you are unfamiliar with an acai bowl, it’s a Brazilian dish that has become popular in the health food craze as the acai bowl is made with frozen and mashed acai palm fruit, the acai berry is touted as a

super food. Acai bowls are generally mashed and frozen acai on the bottom, covered with fruit and granola, and topped with guaraná syrup. Guaraná is a South American plant in the maple family whose fruit is an effective stimulant containing double the concentration of caffeine found in coffee. I guess it’s ironic that I ordered a “superfood dish” at a donut shop but I figured I would need sustenance to go wine tasting.

We had two designated drivers and split up in the two cars, we went to one winery, and then another. By the time we got to the second winery, food was needed and luckily, we had planned ahead and packed a picnic lunch. We spread out our snacks, loaves of bread, cheese, salami, and chocolate and went to town. We went to three more wineries that day and by 6 p.m. we were beat and ravenous. Back at the house, the nine starving ladies all decided to help preparing dinner which consisted of premade stuffed zucchinis, asparagus, a rotisserie chicken, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes,

Otter Views When Alabama gets mentioned, a quick roll call of associations rattles across my brain like a confederate drummer boy’s tattoo: peerless college football teams, hard right politics, fervent Christian evangelism, deep Old South pride, and the catchy Lynard Skynard anthem above, a rock classic for the ages.

Alabama may also be the “reddest” state in the great red-blue national divide. Unlike some of its regional neighbors, it has no cosmopolitan metro area like Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans or Miami to dilute its self-image and values. Even Texas, the default reddest state, has an embarrassing pocket of progressivism in Austin.

Alabama’s cultural homogeneity has long made it a rock-ribbed bulwark against uppity notions from the outside. When the federal government tried to end segregation in its public schools, the late governor George Wallace fought the U.S. every inch of the way. And when the Ku Klux Klan lethally fire-bombed a black Baptist church in Birmingham, it took decades for charges to be brought.

Alabama’s legacy of fierce independence and moral self-righteousness has now given us Judge Roy Moore, a quirky parochial character worthy of Mark Twain. Having won a special election primary to replace attorney general Jeff Sessions, Moore is a slam-dunk to join his fellow Republicans in the U.S. Senate come January.

Normally, the GOP would be honored to add to its Senate majority such a popular and charismatic figure.

Moore is, after all, the county supreme court judge who poked the federal government in the eye by posting the Ten Commandments in his courtroom, was twice removed from office, and won landslide re-elections each time.

With his devout faith, white cowboy hat and folksy ways, Moore is the apotheosis of Deep South, Bible Belt populism. He also boasts powerful out-of-state backing from former Trump Administration svengali Steve Bannon and his coterie of far right billionaires. Barring Sessions-like elevation to even higher office, Moore solidly fits the GOP template for a long-lasting Senate career.

A minor hiccup arose last week, though, when The Washington Post published interviews with four women who claimed Moore had propositioned them sexually when they were teenagers and he was a 30-something state prosecutor. A fifth complaint surfaced this week.

Moore reportedly insisted he had prior permission from their parents to “date” the girls, but the Post’s explicit details paint a more troubling picture. The story’s timing also proved problematic, coming amid sexual harassment scandals that have toppled or damaged a score of high-profile male celebrities.

a vegetable platter, and a lot more bread…all from Costco. Let me tell you, it was sheer chaos but so much fun. We played music from our childhood and everyone helped everyone else, ducking under arms sautéing brussels sprouts, two of us were delegated to find olive oil from one of the neighbors, and others set the table and popped bottles of sparkling wine to celebrate. All in all, it was a lovely weekend of wine, food, and friendship, despite my strong, not favorable initial opinion of eating a Costco rotisserie chicken to celebrate one of my dearest friend’s bachelorette party.

The Post disclosures blindsided the high pooh-bahs of the GOP, who saw a guaranteed senate seat suddenly slip into doubt. A “never Moore” chorus worthy of Poe’s raven urged him to quit the race and take a bullet for the party. Various back room schemes were floated for last-minute nominees, election postponements, ballot write-ins, and, most draconian, “pre-expulsion” from the Senate.

At this writing, Moore has remained characteristically defiant and unbowed. By his lights, the sexual harassment charges are simply Democratic mischief promulgated by a disreputable peddler of fake news. And even if the women’s charges were true, his supporters point out, the statute of limitations on those incidents lapsed long ago.

Alabama’s governor has thus far resisted calls to postpone next month’s special election so that the GOP leadership could gain time to nudge Moore out of the race.

His name will remain on the ballot, and there will be a very narrow window to mount any write-in campaign.

If anything, a “yankee” newspaper’s obvious bid to besmirch his character and reputation should draw even the most skeptical voters to Moore’s side. Given Alabama’s “us against the world” mindset, any accusations from the outside, even from the national GOP, are certain to backfire. The Ten Commandments Judge should win in a walk.

Welcoming an alleged pedophile to the nation’s senior law-making body may cause some initial Republican embarrassment, but Moore’s future “aye” votes on tax reform, Obamacare repeal and other GOP prerogatives should salve the party’s discomfort. With one of its stalwarts suffering brain cancer and another sidelined by broken ribs, the Senate Republican majority is already razor-thin.

President Donald Trump and powerful Senate boss Mitch McConnell originally backed Moore’s primary election opponent “Big Luther” Strange. But when Strange floundered at the polls, new calculations had to be made. Trump and McConnell have now backed around into Moore’s corner, suggesting that the judge step aside only “if” the women’s accusations prove to have merit.

Given that the charges are decades-old “my word against hers” disputes with no witness corroboration, a canny former prosecutor like Moore should have no trouble putting this little business behind him. Beloved in Alabama, he should soon replicate that in the Senate.

Until then, the GOP will just have to hold its nose and swallow hard.

Fine Arts and Crafts Fair

All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Dolores and Ninth, Carmel Take care of your holiday shopping this weekend at the Fine Arts and Crafts Fair Saturday, 9 am to 3 pm at All Saints’ Episcopal Churches lower level, Dolores and Ninth. Enjoy the Fair in more ways than one – looking at all of the “goodies” the artisans have made, finding “just the right gift” for a special friend or family member, filling your tummy with good food, supporting the local food pantries for the homeless, and supporting local artisans. There are actually three Fairs within four blocks of one another Saturday: Homecrafters Market at San Carlos and Ninth, All Saints’ at Ninth & Dolores (there’s also a Lincoln entrance), and Church of the Wayfarer at Lincoln and Seventh.

Did you know many of our artisans work on their projects for you year round? Lynda Milligan, a PG crafter, who has the most delightful garden filled with items she has made, will sell similar ones at the Fair.

She begins a project and “can’t stop working on it” until she finishes. Her unique birdhouses and Manzanita trees with lights will be outside of Seccombe Hall. Elizabeth Jackson, 12 years old and our youngest artisan, has little or no time to play video games. She has been hand sewing her “folk art” felt birds and other animals for several years. They’re darling, and some even have feathery headpieces. Inside Seccombe Hall, you’ll find one of our long-time artisans, Izzi Shillinglaw, who has been crafting for years, and loves reconnecting each year with her returning customers. Marina resident, Monica Orbegoso, has made lovely cards featuring photos of bay area creatures such as sea otters and monarch butterflies.

In addition to the wide selection of crafts and artwork, you’ll be able to feast on lunch and purchase Greek pastries to eat at the Fair or other desserts (pies, quick breads, and cookies) to take home to the family.

So come on over and see what the rest of our artisans have been making. We all look forward to meeting all of you and including you in a Carmel tradition!!

The Train of Life

Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts When I climbed on the train more than 80 years ago, the tracks of the future stretched on ad infinitum...

There was no end. I was in the last car. Now I have moved to the front and the tracks of life are behind me.

Every so often there is an occurrence which depicts what has gone before. These past days have vividly enhanced the images. Rod and Sue Dewar were two of our closest friends, we spent many happy days together over a 50-year period. When Sue left us last year it created a huge hole in our hearts and, of course, took much of the raison d’etre from Rod. At first, he coped with what Sue had left behind, all the memories of her life collected with love, every scrap, every letter, every program, every picture. He shared many things with family and friends and then left for a short vacation in Vancouver, intending to return and get to the house emptying again. Alas, he went out to play tennis, fell and broke his hip. At that point he decided he had enough of digging into the past.

As I was involved with sharing memories in the way of goods with the public at a benefit shop, Rod decided that I should have everything in the house to sell and give proceeds to a worthy organization. I had just left a long-time association and had been asked to do something for Pacific Repertory Theatre. Most of the volunteers climbed aboard and the process commenced.

While Stephen Moorer, the Artistic/Executive Director (and founder) searched for a store we could use. The workers and I started at the house. This theatre is one of Rod’s favorite charities, so it all worked well.

It was June. Some of us went up several days a week and started sorting, assembling and pricing. We soon decided that as we had no shop now we would have an estate sale., especially as the house was full of glorious furniture. Rod was delighted. Two large garages were filled with tables and goods, dishes, cookware, collectibles. May I say that if one cooking item or dish was good, 10 of the same were better. I won’t even discuss books. You will need to talk to Chase Weaver and Michele Tubman who spent weeks organizing.

There were multiples of everything. Every piece of clothing – a variety of sizes – were lovingly priced by Judy Furman. Everything was in excellent condition, so it was a matter of sorting and pricing and some washing - not much to send away. Many delightful vintage articles of clothing went to the costume department.

I found all this thrilling as my first loves have been animals but running a close second if not on a par are the arts. Working with the PRT board and volunteers has been extraordinarily rewarding, as it was with the Monterey County Symphony Group and early days of the SPCA and others, working, cheerful dedicated folk

who did not fear jumping in and helping. As hard as it was and as tired as we got it was fun…this is how I became involved with benefit shops, working with my peers on rummage sales, there is a comaraderie one doesn’t find in many places.

Lillian Griffiths, Pacific Grove’s adored teacher, has retired and agreed to chair the Estate Sale. She brought Olive, her mother, a long-time helper for me at SPCA and AFRP, and Darwin, the 6-month-old pup. Of course, our Annie came to help also, and Anton Duncan brought her adorable little creature.

Friday, November 10, we opened the door to the public. What a flow from my past! There were people I hadn’t seen for years. Some with whom I had volunteered, others, such as Joe Truscott with whom I worked at the Symphony when I was on the Symphony Board and he was Executive Director, there were some of Sue’s “unnatural” children and grandchildren as she called those she adopted to be part of her life. Clark Coleman wandered in. He had faithfully printed my press releases for many years, when he left the Herald to go with an educational group, that stopped. Peter Tweet, whose mother-in-law, Alice Long, was my darling friend and bridge companion, and about whose dog, Annie, I had written. Our editor should be happy, many people carried the Cedar Street Times and said they had seen our ad. Many told me how much they enjoyed my column, food for a journalist’s heart.

One even compared me to Phil Bowhay whom I greatly admire. I met new friends, reconnected with old ones and I couldn’t have loved it more. Old friends and new, and everyone having a good time. There were people missing who might have attended but we all have our priorities.

There were many folks who came to pay tribute to Rod and Sue and pick up little remembrances.

We will do another sale after the first of the year. We still have many pieces of furniture designed by famed artist Sergio Rodrigues, a beautiful grandfather clock and many things from the second story which we have not processed yet. Hopefully we will have a store soon and will let you know when that happens.

It is time for Holiday entertainment. Son Jay (DeVine) will be Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol” at Paper Wing Theatre – November 17 to December 16 at 8:00 PM…then lighten the mood and see “Mamma Mia” at The Golden Bough Theatre which startws on November 16…” Tis the season…those of you who are theatrical “snobs”, give the local productions a chance, you will be rewarded.

We have seen plays and musical theatre locally that we had seen in San Francisco or Broadway that were better here.. You won’t know unless you try and think of the gas you will save.

In their Own Words Part III

Tourist Distractions...There is Always Someone who has Less Debating whether to form a “committee” or “commission” on homelessness dominated Seaside City Council’s November 2 agenda: If councilmember Dave Pacheco had prevailed, a commission--with authority to move swiftly--would be getting things done now.

As it was, the vote came at a time of mounting pressure by Monterey County Supervisors to resolve the safe parking issue with Lapis Road residents whose live-in vehicles must be gone from the stretch of county road north of Marina

by Dec. 1.

District 4 Supervisor Jane Parker fought hard to form a coalition with city managers and mayors of all Monterey Peninsula cities to locate identify safe parking sites for peninsula residents living in vehicles.

Councilmember Dave Pacheco regularly participated in such meetings, even though Seaside, which has $30,000 in its budget for local homelessness, did not contribute financially to the matching funds challenge grants.

Mayor Ralph Rubio’s persuasive “haste can make waste” argument resulted in council’s 5-0 vote to form an exploratory committee before a formal commission is empaneled, proof that the wheels of social justice turn more slowly than necessary.

Flop, failure or fortuitous move?

Former Seaside mayor Felix Bachofner addressed council, calling past efforts to address homelessness by a coalition of cities “a failure.”

He was referring to the matching funds challenge grant originated four years ago by Pacific Grove in which participating cities each contribute $1 per resident to a fund that supports service providers to the homelessness.

Meanwhile, with both cities in stall mode regarding pinning down locations for shelters and safe parking, evidence of homelessness and hunger escalate.

Tourist distractions Women with filthy hands and smelly bodies flop beside trash bags near fast food restaurants on Fremont Blvd. Men with skin like faded saddle leather linger, loiter and lie near liquor, convenience and retail stores on Fremont and Del Monte Avenues.

Homeless in Paradise

Photo courtesy of Community Homeless Solutions Instead of being gaunt, many malnourished unfortunates appear obese because of edema and other conditions resembling corpuscular corpulence.

While city protocol drags on, Reyes Bonilla, executive director of Community Homeless Solutions, writes: Thank you for helping the homeless and the hungry

By Reyes Bonilla It is common knowledge to say that a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast are the best way to start the day.

Science reveals this, our parents told us this, our experience confirms it.

But what happens when these two basic essentials are missing in someone’s life?

In January 2017, the Monterey County Homeless Point-In-Time Census & Survey found 2,837 homeless individuals in Monterey County, and of those only 26 percent are sheltered.

According to Hunger in Monterey County 2016, one-third of local residents cannot afford to feed themselves regularly, while the Food Bank for Monterey County provides food to one in five local residents.

In short, three-fourths of homeless children and adults lack two of life’s basic necessities.

According to one study at the Division

of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School in 2007, individuals who do not get proper rest will have difficulty focusing on simple tasks, and can become overly emotional, forgetful, and show signs of decreased motor skills.

Over time, this can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, obesity and a weakened immune system, as well as numerous other negative effects on the mind and body.

Children and adults who do have access to housing and food are better prepared, performing better in school and on the job. Concentration is improved, behavior and emotions are more stable, attention is more focused, and hyperactivity is decreased.

Long-term health benefits can include lower risk for heart disease and diabetes.

It is clear that homeless individuals are better equipped to succeed when given a foundation on which to rebuild themselves, making for a healthier society.

National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week is November 11-19 and is the perfect time to think about all we have to be thankful for.

Free Thanksgiving meals on Thurs., Nov. 23, 2017 Consider showing your support by volunteering or donating to the agencies and individuals who provide a warm bed and nourishing food to the homeless and hungry.

No matter how little we have, there is always someone who has less.

Together we can help those who have less start the day right.

Fifteen vehicles may now legally park overnight in the county offices lot in city of Marina, despite the fact no peninsula city managers or mayors came forward with safe parking site suggestions.

This could go national! Stay tuned.

Space exploration and Moby Dick in December

The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History has two great lectures in store for December, starting with an exploration of the cosmos and ending with a trip back to Earth for a study of the sea.

These fascinating lectures are planned for the first half of the month, beginning with a visit from Dr. Pimol Moth on Friday, December 1, for a lecture on the discovery of new planets, including exoplanets and more. The December 1st lecture is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. The stellar wobble technique, a system used to detect planets, and the Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, are among the topics Moth will discuss during the evening event.

Herman Melville fans will appreciate the Museum’s next lecture on Thursday, December 7, from 6-7:30 p.m., when Dr. Richard King leads a multimedia lecture on the timeless novel Moby Dick. King, a research associate at Williams Mystic, will discuss many topics related to the tale, including the time Melville spent at sea searching for whales, as well as a study of giant squid and zooplankton. No recent familiarity of the lengthy tome is necessary to enjoy this event and a discussion will follow.

Museum lectures are $5 and free for Museum members. The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is located at 165 Forest Avenue. Learn about these events and others on the Museum’s website at http://www.pgmuseum.org/ event-calendar/.

Culinary Herbs

Savoring Old Recipes

D H Shook

Keepers of our Culture

Living Heathy Open the door to the spice and herb cabinet and inhale the symphony of aromas. Herbs and spices occupy a world of mystery and wonder. Wafting in the scent for just a split second, the world of herbs and spices envelopes you and with a wink the amazing aroma tugs at the strings of subconscious memory. Humanity would have never made it to the twentieth century without herbs and spices.

The distinction between herbs and spices is that herbs are the leafy part of the plant and spices are the seeds, bark and roots of the plant. Coriander is the seed of the cilantro plant, so it is a spice, but cilantro is an herb. Incidentally cilantro is known for removing heavy metals from the body. There is more to culinary herbs than (just a pretty face or) flavoring, herbs serve a fundamental nutritional purpose.

The core premise in organic gardening is that if a plant is given optimal soil nutrients and weather the plant will thrive. The same premise can be applied to humans, supply optimal nutrition and environment and the need for remedial measures is diminished.

Herbs can provide a vital nutritional component.

The subject of herbs and spices has been studied and practiced for the span of human history. There are hundreds if not thousands of books written on the subject subscribing to different schools of thought.

The ayurvedics, traditional Chinese medicine (TMC), various western traditions, indigenous traditions and more, all of them contain wisdom and virtue, if used with intelligence and care. There is however a magnified benefit to locally grown herbs.

To use what grows around you is the best of options.

Artfully incorporated herbs can transform a meal into a gourmet delight. To use fresh herbs not only enhances the flavor of the food it also provides an important nutritional value. To borrow a line from the famous Simon and Garfunkle song; ‘parsley, sage rosemary and thyme’ makes up a basic herb garden, and can even be grown in containers on a deck or patio. These herbs together really do make music on the tongue and can be used in so many recipes.

Sage, thyme and rosemary are perennials so they will keep growing year after year, and the parsley usually will reseed itself so it may not need replanting either. This article is limited to a thumbnail sketch of the therapeutic and nutritional properties

of these four herbs but it will illustrate a benefit beyond the flavors. More detailed descriptions are readily available.

PARSLEY: rich in vitamin A and C, reduces inflammation, clears toxins, stimulates digestion, freshens the breath ROSEMARY: nervous exhaustion,with associated digestive problems, headache and circulatory issues THYME: respiratory complaints, slightly astringent, combined with other herbs for sore throat and gum problems SAGE: digestive and respiratory complaints, hormone balancer, depression, sore throat gargle The suggestion is to use local fresh herbs whenever possible and when not, then use a dried herb that is not too old.

With herbs the general rule is to use them with subtlety, so someone has to think about it to figure out what that flavor is.

Remember it is the accumulated use of herbs that form the nutritional foundation that contributes to greater health. When year after year the diet includes a wide variety of herbal ingredients a host of benefits are enjoyed. Here is one way to use the parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme .

MAMA’S SOUP 3 stalks celery 3 carrots 1 red or yellow onion 3 potatoes 2 cups chopped cauliflower, cabbage or broccoli 6 cups stock either vegetable or meat 4Tbs olive oil 2 Tbs butter 1 Tbs molasses ⅓ cup yellow or orange lentils 2 Tbs parmesan or romano cheese 1 small can tomatoes (optional) 1 tsp salt pepper to taste 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp dried mustard 3 Tbs fresh parsley 1 tsp sage 1 tsp rosemary 1 tsp thyme A splash of wine doesn’t hurt and add some sauteed meat if you like Lightly saute the vegetables in the olive oil then add the stock and everything else. Cook for about 45 minutes or an hour. Let the soup rest a few minutes before serving.

I am pleased to introduce you to more of the writing of our very own William Neish, new guest columnist for Keepers of Our Culture. Born and raised here before turning to a writing career in Hollywood and NYC, William joins illustrator Keith Larson and others in the on-going quest to research, write, illustrate and publish books by and for the people of Pacific Grove. Please welcome William—and do continue to send in your P.G. stories for Volume 2 of Life in Pacific Grove. The deadline is June 1, 2018. Submit on-line at lifeinpacificgrove.com William Neish Cooks!

Bon jour, mon petites. While reading our fantastic book Life in Pacific Grove, I noticed a quote in Patricia’s story about her Great-grandmother Griswold (page 11). The entry states, “She left a recipe for goulash to be prepared for her funeral gathering. It was the same recipe my mother served.” Alarm bells and whistles exploded in my head, and not because of the unusual move of dictating a menu to be served upon one’s death. No. While I am not a naturally gifted cook, I like to collect great recipes. Every time I eat something truly terrific, I attempt to coddle, coax and club my way into unearthing how to make it. (I mean, within reason.)

(And I avoid meringue.) The other thing I like is SECRETS. Most recipes from your grandmother’s era are kept secret from prying, outsider eyes, so the possibility that Patricia might have a good secret recipe doubly intrigued me.

Not Goulash After All After rushing to the library as well as online to review other goulash recipes, I was immediately apprehensive; what Patricia had roughly described to me (pasta, ground beef, tomatoes and cheese) did not resemble any goulash I’d ever envisioned. They’re traditionally built on onions, paprika, broth, and cubed beef.

And when I got to Patricia’s house to do our frenzied test run, we saw that the actual recipe, given to her thirty-five years ago by a cousin, is labeled DONATELLA. Who/what is Donatella? Whether this is what the dish was called, or the name of the person or restaurant who gave Alice Griswold the recipe, is unknown. For now.

More research on the matter is obviously necessary, and I am on the case.

Let me SEE You Some people are hesitant to contribute stories for the upcoming sequel to Life in Pacific Grove because they don’t think a particular memory is exciting enough.

But not every story has to be on the scale of Moses parting the Red Sea, or Scarlett O’Hara escaping the burning of Atlanta in a rickety wagon with her tall, dark and handsome, love/hate paramour at her side.

I personally like stories like that, but I don’t really identify with them. What I love are the approachable memories and experiences of real human beings, the people I love … my friends and neighbors, my fellow man. If we found documents buried under ash in Pompeii, I wouldn’t care so much about how the City Tribunal was

run, but I’d devour any diary or letters left behind by its everyday residents. Did the sunlight wake them each morning, or the sound of birds, or bells? Were they kicked awake? How did they prepare their breakfast, and what was on their feet? These are

Patricia’s great-grandmother, Charlotte Griswold. the real details of life, the things that let me actually see a person. So, please get those beautifully human-scale stories rolling in, and let us and the future see you.

Your Treasured Recipe?

You may be wondering how Grandmother Griswold’s “Goulash” turned out. What are its treasured ingredients?

Is it best to strictly follow her recipe, or daringly remove its cover for the last 15 minutes of baking? You will have to look to Volume 3 in the Stories of America series, Secrets of Pacific Grove, for the answers. It will be coming out in the fall of next year along with Volume 2. And PS: if you have any tried and true, top secret recipes you decide to throw off the shackles of convention and share with the world, please get them to me. As I said, I’m really not an innate cook, and must do all I can to compensate for this should I ever hope to ensnare a mate! My deepest thanks, my dear Pagrovians. We all must work together : ) Life in Pacific Grove Updates I’ve updated Great-grandmother Griswold’s Donatella/Goulash recipe in Life in Pacific Grove, at the same time that I processed a few changes/additions that came in by the Nov. 1 deadline. These updated books will be available for sale Dec.1 at Bookworks, PG Library, and on Amazon. There will be softcover, hardcover, and a new e-book version (sans most illustrations) as well.

Times • November 17, 2017 What does God say about obeying laws?

Bill Cohen

Page 20 • CEDAR STREET

Reasoning With God Is 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Is God telling us we will not be able to follow His ways unless we believe the advice He has given us in the Bible? Prov 14:12, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Without belief, will we think our way is better than His way? Ps 32:8, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Is He willing to guide us to the better way?

Does His Word do just that? 2 Tim 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

So, today’s question is; why is God asking us to obey all laws and why does it help us find the best path? 1 Pet 2:13-15, “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:” God is not forcing us to obey laws, He is just telling us which choices are the best choices available to us, but does this mean we are responsible for our bad choices? Gal 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Can we move toward God while we are disobeying laws, either His or those of the land we live in? Do our bad choices affect the quality of our lives in this world and will they act as stumbling blocks on the path to God, His righteousness and His kingdom? Would we even need prisons if everyone obeyed all laws? Is this the choice He has given us, Deut 30:15, “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;” Rom 13:12, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Does God’s truth shed light on all things? Is darkness not the absence of light? Can we bring darkness into a room to cover up the light (truth)? Or, is covering up the light (truth) the only way to allow darkness into a room? Does the same principle describe good and evil? Can the amount of goodness in any situation be measured by the proximity to God’s light (truth) and evil by its absence? Evil is like a cancer growing in the body of Christ, but has God not offered every one of us His salvation, which ultimately will kill this cancer? He has offered, but do we not have to choose to follow? Have we chosen the light, or are we running from it and into the darkness? 1 Pet 2:9, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;” David Cabot’s review of the documentary film “SERVING LIFE” centers on Forest Whitaker’s observation, “It could be me.” Whitaker’s observation that he could have ended up in prison should be a wakeup call for all of us. The line between prison, poverty and us, is a small thin one. Before we get too defensive, we must all remember that chance and circumstances have played huge roles in where we are in this life.

I recently watched Ed Gordon’s 21-minute interview of the late Tupac Shakur from 1994, in which Tupac laments the life of growing up in the projects. He wants us to know those living in the projects hate and fear the criminal element as much as we do. His vision of the problem includes the fact that many people living outside the projects do not see a difference between the criminals and the innocents living in the same space. God tells us we need to treat everyone as if they are innocent, showing them the love He so freely offers to all, for any of us could have been born in the projects.

Until we drop our prejudices, break down the artificial lines we have drawn to separate ourselves and allow God to do the judging, we will not be able to see God for who He really is, a loving Father. None of us are innocent, Rom 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” However, we can stop pretending that we are innocent, humble ourselves enough to actually reason with God and discover the peace that will follow. Jn 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Obeying the laws is part of the process that brings peace into our lives.

Seventh Day Adventist Church is the Fastest-Growing “Rest on the Sabbath. Heed Old Testament dietary codes. And be ready for Jesus to return at any moment.” are some basic tenants of the Seventh-Day Adventist church. Bucking the national trend of declining church membership, the SDA is the fastest growing Christian church in North America according to USA Today. They must be doing something right.

On Pacific Grove’s upper Lighthouse Avenue between Monterey Avenue and Tenth Street just on the outskirts of downtown, is the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Monterey. The SDA church takes its name from its observance of the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week, Saturday, and its belief in the Advent— the return of Christ to Earth in the near future. In setting up an interview, Pastor Gary Ford invited me to fellowship luncheon after services on Saturday. I arrived early, about 11:30, and mistakenly wandered into the church’s lower level community room on Tenth Street.

There I found several of the congregation busily preparing lunch and organizing tables for what I thought might serve 50 people. A young lady realized I was lost, then escorted me outside and around the block to the main entrance on Monterey Street. I entered the chapel as Pastor Ford was completing his sermon and was immediately struck by three things: It was packed. It was diverse. It was lively. I asked a church deacon if this was a typical turnout; he said it was, about 140 people were here. The maximum occupancy sign on the wall read 155, so my estimate of the lunch crowd was actually short of the mark. The mix of cultures and races was remarkable; all were well represented. After the sermon and a few hymns, the service ended and people began to mingle and chat with one another in animated conversations.

After a while we started to migrate toward the community room for lunch.

I introduced myself to Pastor Ford, a lean middle-aged man about 5’8” in a charcoal suit, pink shirt, and a blackand-white retro tie. Then we proceeded to the community room where a long table was laid out with an inviting array of pot-luck dishes, and a line of eager kids impatiently waiting for the blessing before being served. The food looked like what one might expect at any pot-luck gathering, but that was not exactly the case.

The SDA are a healthy lot; there was no caffeine, no soda, no alcohol, no sugary sweets, and no artificial ingredients. Dessert consisted of fresh fruits of various kinds. The room was full and overflowing to the outside patio. Almost everyone, young and old, looked fit for a marathon.

I asked about the apparent vitality of the congregation. “Our church goes back to basics, and our eating habits follow Old Testament dietary codes.”

Ford replied. A U.S. News & World Report article titled “11 Health Habits That Will Help You Live to 100”, lists #8 as “Live like a Seventh Day Adventist”.

The article continues “Seventh Day Adventists have an average life expectancy about a decade longer than the average American.

One of the basic tenets of the religion is that it’s important to cherish the body that’s on loan from God, which means no smoking, alcohol abuse, or overindulging in sweets.” Over lunch, Pastor Ford scarcely had time to eat as he enthusiastically talked about the church and his ministry. Often quoting scrip-

Gary Baley

Sanctuary of the Soul

ture, he seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of his Church, the Bible, and the various Christian denominations. He has ministered here for 4 years, having previously served 20 years in southern California as an evangelist after graduating from La Sierra University in Riverside. Upstairs, there are two rooms for

children’s school and the pastor’s office which contains a library, a desk cluttered with the signs of an active mind, and in the corner a triplescreen computer used for research and preparation of PowerPoint presentations for each sermon.

Pastor Ford’s wife Yvonne is Principal at the Peninsula Adventist School, a

K-8 Christian school in Seaside which accepts children from all religious or secular backgrounds.

Theology: Ford explained that SDA is a Protestant Christian denomination which was officially founded in 1863 in Battle Creek, Michigan with about 3,000 members. It arose out of the Millerite Movement of 1833. Today it has 20 million adherents worldwide. Adventists believe in the Trinity, the infallibility of scripture, and investigative judgment.

They do not ascribe to creeds and they are usually apolitical.

I asked whether SDA had its own version of the Bible. “I can teach the truth out of anyone’s Bible.” he replied.

Ford also volunteered that all SDA ministers are salaried, which eliminates financial pressure and enables focus on ministry. Excess funds in larger churches go to supporting smaller churches and to third-world missions. I remarked about the diversity of the congregation and Ford said that he believed SDA is the most diverse mainstream religion.

Indeed, the Pew Research Group backs him up: “Seventh-day Adventists are among the most racially and ethnically diverse American religious groups: 37% are white, 32% are black, 15% are Hispanic, 8% are Asian and 8% are another or mixed race.” They also report 45% are Democrat, 35% Republican, and 19% Independent. In the ideological spectrum, 37% are conservative, 31% moderate, and 22% liberal.

Outreach: SDA has missions in over 200 countries and supports 7,200 schools and over 600 hospitals. Adventists Community Services has agreements with states around the country to provide disaster warehouse services.

USA Today writes: “If you donate bottles of water, diapers, clothing or any other materials to hurricane victims in Texas or Florida, your donation will likely pass through the hands of the Seventh Day Adventists before it gets to a storm victim. ‘Right now, in the state of Texas, we are going around with FEMA trying to help them select a facility,’ said Derek Lee, director of disaster response for Adventist Community Services.”

Notable members: Dr. Ben Carson, former presidential candidate and the current United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, is perhaps the bestknown SeventhDay Adventist.

Others include former slave Sojourner Truth and current Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and California Congressman Raul Ruiz as well as W.K. Kellogg who made breakfast cereals popular in the USA. The movie Hacksaw Ridge tells the story of SeventhDay Adventist Desmond Doss, the first consciousness objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II after rescuing 75 soldiers as a combat medic.
