Seven Years Later, a New Forest Thrives

Community High School students Justly Proud of Tree-Planting Efforts

May 4-June 29

Patrons’ Show fundraiser Pacific Grove Art Center 568 Lighthouse in PG

Saturday, May 5

Students from Pacific Grove Community High School in 2011 joined the effort of local citizens to reforest Pacific Grove. With 250 Monterey Pine seedlings donated by Pebble Beach Company, they set out to succeed where other efforts had failed for lack, perhaps, of a continuing staff of dedicated student volunteers.

Then-Public Works Director Mike Zimmer pointed out that the staffing supply, combined with keeping a journal of planting and watering dates, location of trees, and frequent updates on the condition of the trees gave the project a reasonable chance of survival. The project also obtained a large portable watering tank.

The trees were expected to take a least three years before they could be expected to be able to take care of themselves without constant monitoring.

Today, as we celebrate Earth Day, students at Community High School can be proud of a new forest of native Monterey Pine trees.

‘Built for Books’ Celebrates our Carnegie Library with an Art Exhibit Through July 6

Built for Books is a four-month celebration of libraries, learning and philanthropy which honors the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Pacific Grove Public Library in 1908. Sponsored by the Friends of the Pacific Grove Library, the celebration opened with a fine art juried exhibit, reception, and award ceremony on Friday, April 6, 2018. Exhibits were on display in the Nancy and Steve Hauk Gallery in the library.

The gallery, reclaimed and restored from office space in 2015, is in the east side of the Carnegie core section of the library with a portrait of Andrew Carnegie hanging prominently on its east wall.

Cathleen Gable researched and posted on the gallery walls library-related quotes from ancient and contemporary luminaries including Andrew Carnegie who said “There is not such a cradle of democracy on earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.”

The reception was replete with hors d’oeuvres and sweets—the chocolate cake tidbits were to die for. Friends of the Library board members Peggy Hansen and Linda Pagnella hosted a libation table with wine and soft drinks.

The Call to Artists went out in January: “Artists are invited to celebrate the beauty and magic of libraries, reading, and books with innovation and creativity,” with a deadline for submission of March 9, 2018. Original two and three-dimensional work in all media including painting, mixed media, printmaking, drawing, photography, fiber, and paper art, woodworking, and sculpture were allowed.

Fifty-nine artists submitted 90 works of art. The juried process by Sybil Johnson selected 20 works for the exhibit, and local artist Stan Robbins judged the works.

Library Director Scott Bauer welcomed attendees to the reception and introduced Friends of the Library president Kim Bui-Burton who misspoke—and

entertained the crowd—by welcoming them to the “Monterey” library. Everyone had a good laugh—even Kim. It was all in good fun. Kim had been director of the Monterey Library for 10 years and it was just “programmed in”. After that little faux pas, Kim introduced Christine Crozier, PG Library’s Art Curator, who announced the winners.

First place – Wilda Northrop’s still-life watercolor “Quest for the Green Thumb” is a vibrant work so realistic that it seems three-dimensional. She precisely captures the specular highlights on persimmons and the nuanced play of light through a translucent light-green vase, all set atop books on a table beside a delicate lace curtain.

Second place – Katharina D’Amore’s oil on canvas “Daily Ritual” is a portrait of her daughter and two grandchildren reading together. The three subjects attended the opening with the artist.

Third place – Barbara Lee Furbush’s collaborative print and poem “FaceBooK: Mythic Women,” second in her Mythic Women series, sets nine women to make ink-print profiles of their faces on one half of a paper then write something, a poem or an ode, about a mythical woman character they chose to represent on the other half.

Honorable Mention – David Gregory’s watercolor “Paris Bookstall” depicts a locale on the banks of the River Seine in modern-day Paris.

Honorable Mention – Felisa Ihly’s landscape photography “A Peaceful Read” puts us in an Arcadian scene at Mission San Juan Bautista.

Honorable Mention – Brad Neal’s ink and watercolor “Reading next to the Tower” is a tranquil beach scene with a person at the base of a lifeguard tower seated on a bench facing the sea reading.

During the four months of the exhibit, visitors can vote for the People’s Choice Award just outside on the right as you exit the gallery, and the winner will be announced at the exhibit’s closing on July 6.

Breaker of the Week

By Mei Bailey

Anna Tullius

This week’s column features Anna Tullius, a sophomore at PGHS. Over spring break, she departed on a week-long trip to Nicaragua with the TASK 4 U & ME organization, run by Dianna Gamecho. TASK is group made up of students and adults who travel each year to several locations across Nicaragua to provide supplies to schools, build infrastructure, and assist the communities. This is Anna’s second year participating in the program. Some of the things that the team accomplished this year include local fundraising, delivering propane to a girls’ orphanage, attending a leadership conference, and creating personal connections with all the people they met. “This trip has made me realize what true happiness looks like,” Anna said about the experience.

“In our society, people are led to believe that true happiness comes

from material value… but people in Nicaragua who are ‘less fortunate’ simultaneously have happy and loving hearts.” Through her work, Anna and the TASK team have made a giant impact in the hearts of those globally and locally, from the students at PGHS to communities across the world.

Earth Day: Getting a Little Greener Diana L. Guerrero

Ask ARK Lady Going Green is a big priority for many people but it wasn’t always that way. The annual Earth Day celebration began as a grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment in the spring of 1970 but efforts actually began back circa 1962. Get a little greener by: 1. Carrying a trash bag when you travel and taking home your waste.

Proper disposal of waste keeps it out of the environment and helps keep the natural world safer and healthier for everyone.

2. Picking up any litter during walks and in your neighborhood.

Join the ARKlady’s Greater Green movement by clearing public areas around your home and picking up trash on your strolls.

3. Cleaning up after your pet on walks and trips.

Over 40 percent of dog owners do not scoop their poop which negatively impacts animals of all types (humans included) with exposure to disease, parasites, and other unpleasantness.

4. Taking public transportation, carpooling, or riding a bike once a week.

Simple steps you can take are to reduce car idling time, parking and walking further, or scheduling one day a week to use other types of transportation.

5. Recycling your waste so you reduce trash buildup.

Among the top 10% of the nation, the Monterey Regional Waste Management’s Materials Recovery Facility 2.0 makes the peninsula a leader in the trend toward positive change. Learn how to more effectively participate in recycling through them or CalRecycle.

6. Reducing your use of throw away products.

Better daily choices can make a big

difference. Learn how to reduce your use of unsustainable products and then repurpose and reuse items.

7. Using old fashioned and less toxic cleaning solutions.

As our environment becomes more toxic, it is even more important to avoid toxicity in your living spaces. Find better solutions for interior cleaning, yard maintenance and dry cleaners.

8. Planting native plant species in your garden.

Join the backyard conservation trend by making sure your garden has native plant species. The perk is that you will naturally attract birds and Linus (chocolate doberman mix). His favorite PG pet friendpollinators--and rely stop is The Grill at Lover's Point where Joe & Fernando make duce that water bill!

9. Using elec- sure there is fresh ice water for him. tronic technology options to cut down invoices and contracts sent, paid or signed or eliminate paper billing statements. via secure online systems.

Today you no longer need to have 10. Taking action to reduce junk mail. piles of paper at home and in the office Unwanted delivery of catalogs, credit with simple solutions. Your options can card offers and other mail can be stopped include online periodicals, electronic by making sure you opt-out.

The recycling of pet food tins and installing a dog toilet such as Doggie Dooley are important efforts that can make a big difference for the earth and wildlife.

Temporary Closure of Red Barn Flea Market Effective April 15, 2018, the Red Barn Flea Market will be closed pending a hearing on Monterey County’s application for an appointment of a receiver, a neutral third party, to operate the flea market and bring the property into compliance with state law and County code. A hearing on that application is scheduled for April 27, 2018.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the CHP, will be on site to ensure the closure of the facility and minimize any traffic impacts.

The County has made every effort to avoid the closure of the flea market and continues to do so by actively pursuing measures in court to allow for the reopening the operation as soon as possible.

This closure action being taken is due to refusal of the current operator of the flea market to comply with requirements of county code and state law, particularly as to the lack of proper toilet and hand washing facilities necessary to accommodate the number of food and alcohol vendors at the site.

The County’s goal is for the Red Barn to operate under safe health conditions, which the vendors and community deserve.

Red Barn, is located at 1000 US-101, Aromas. Those currently in charge of operations at the Red Barn have been notified of this action so that vendors may be informed of the temporary closure as soon as possible.

Chamber of Commerce Will Honor Volunteers Five Awards to be Given

Five awards will be presented at the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce James R. Hughes Citizen of the Year Presentation and Installation of the Board of Directors on Saturday, May 19, at Asilomar Conference Grounds.

The event begins with a no-host reception at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and entertainment at 7 p.m. Cost is $55 per person. For reservations and more information, contact the Chamber office at 373-3304.

Among the honors is the Citizen of the Year Award, named for the late Dr. James R. Hughes, who was a well-known Pacific Grove dentist with a long history of community service as a city councilman, state coastal commissioner, water board member and many other roles. Former honorees selected this year’s recipient.

The 2018 James R. Hughes Citizen of the Year Award is presented jointly to Lowell and Wilda Northrop. Wilda and Lowell Northrop have been fixtures of the Pacific Grove community for over four decades and have an impressive list of accomplishments and charitable activities under their names. Pacific Grove residents since 1974, Wilda and Lowell relocated with their growing family from Los Angeles, having previously been acquainted with the area while Lowell was stationed at Fort Ord awaiting the processing of his Conscientious Objector application. Wilda and Lowell joined the Pacific Grove Heritage Society as founding members and board directors in 1975, helping the society.

Lifelong artists, Lowell and Wilda have both served on the board of directors for the Pacific Grove Art Center. In their free time, both Wilda and Lowell continue their own artistic efforts. The Northrops designed the Good Old Days banners, City of Pacific Grove banners and Feast of Lanterns banners hung in the downtown and Central Avenue business districts. Together they designed and built the backdrop for the Feast of Lanterns. Wilda served on the Architectural Review Board for five years, working to preserve the historic character of Pacific Grove buildings through her work on the committee. She continues this work with her current service on the Historic Resources Committee.

Don Mothershead Business of the Year is Peppers Mexicali Café represented by owners Lisa and Sean Weiman. For 12 years Sean and Lisa Weiman have owned and operated Pepper’s Mexicali Cafe in downtown Pacific Grove. Peppers has been serving its unique fusion of Mexican and Californian cuisine and seafood since 1986. Lisa started as a waitress in 1997 and purchased the business with her husband Sean in 2006.

The Weimans lovingly continued Peppers well-respected style of Mexicali cuisine with a seafood emphasis and expanded the drink offerings behind the bar. The Weimans shepherded in the business’s full liquor license by lottery and added the restaurant’s popular house and blood orange margaritas to the menu. Their emphasis on high quality, fresh food and consistency in service and cuisine is in part what keeps people coming back to the restaurant year after year. Peppers has consistently racked up best of and readers’ choice awards for years, a testament to the dedication of Sean and Lisa and to the high quality of food and service that locals and visitors have come to expect from the restaurant.

The Weimans have also been consistent supporters of the local community, giving out hundreds of dollars in gift cards and other sponsorships to various cause including the Pacific Grove and Carmel Pony baseball teams.

Lisa’s policy with sponsorships is generous and simple, local groups only. Over the years Peppers has supported the Animal Friends Rescue Project, Meals on Wheels, various local Parent-Teacher Associations and others.The Weimans’ management of the restaurant has resulted in long-term retainment of most of the restaurants employees, which Lisa credits to the friendly, low-key atmosphere and emphasis on pulling together

Lowell and Wilda Northrup Lowell is active in the Pacific Grove community and beyond. He is an active member of the ongoing Point Pinos restoration and preservation crew, contributing his time and effort for years between 2010 and now. Solely, Lowell has contributed his time as a driver for Meals on Wheels for 30 years, delivering meals for seniors and homebound individuals in need across the Monterey Peninsula. Lowell admired the cause. Lowell also contributed to the Heritage Society’s monthly newsletter, producing the layout. For 20 years, Lowell contributed his time as a volunteer meeting facilitator for the Men’s Alternatives to Violence program, a counseling service focusing on improving communication skills, self-esteem and anger-management strategies in small group meetings.

When Wilda and Lowell describe their attitude toward philanthropy and community participation in Pacific Grove and why they do what they do, Lowell points to a Japanese word, tashinamu, which has no single direct English translation. Instead the word means to privately devote yourself to some project or goal, whether or not it will succeed, and whether or not you will be recognized for the effort. More succinctly, it means to do something because it is the right thing to do.

Public Official of the Year is Mr. Don Mothershead, senior recreation coordinator at the city of Pacific Grove, who is retiring after 37 years with the department.

Born in Chicago, he has lived in Pacific Grove since the age of 4, when his parents retired here after serving on three continents with the U.S. Army.

He graduated from Pacific Grove High in 1971 and went on to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where he graduated with a degree in physical education and a teaching credential in 1977, gravitating toward recreation work from a background in physical education and athletics. He joined the city’s recreation department in 1981 Ten years ago, the recreation staff was reduced from seven full-time workers to only one and the budget by 70 percent. That left Mothershead facing the formidable task of successfully maintaining and enhancing City recreation programs in the face of severe budget cuts and staffing reductions to run things with only part-time and seasonal employees. In addition to running the recreation programs, Mothershead also handled facility rentals for weddings, memorial services, birthdays and other events; contracts with instructors for recreation classes; coordinates the city’s large special events schedule; and is involved in supporting the operations at City Hall.

In addition to his more than three decades with the City’s Recreation Department, he has been a starter for track meets at Pacific Grove High School for 36 years, ran the City’s Youth Soccer and Basketball leagues for 27 years, was heavily involved in the Lovers Point Save-the-Pool fundraising effort and has many other ties to the community, in which he and his wife, Rosemarie, raised their three now-grown children.

Lisa Weiman to get things done.

35 Harbor Seal Pups So Far

By Thom Akeman

The harbor seals that live along the Pacific Grove shore are about half way through the pupping season now, with at least 35 births so far. Most of the pups are still with their moms nursing, but some of the earliest ones have already been weaned and are on their own.

Most can be seen on the Hopkins Marine Station beach alongside the recreation trail, where 28 of the pups were visible one afternoon in the middle of the week. Besides the pups and new moms, there were another 100 or so seals on the beach and some of them were very pregnant females waiting their turns.

Bay Net docents who monitor the harbor seals have counted five births so far in the spillover rookery at the bottom of 5th Street. The first one born there was last Friday, April 13. The pupping had problems starting there this year and has been interrupted occasionally by people violating the temporary fence

and signs telling us to stay behind it and away from the seals.

In most cases, docents and harbor seal fans have been able to talk the human intruders back behind the fence. In one notorious case, pictures of violators were posted on a Facebook page viewed by more than 61,000 people within 24 hours. Some provided identifications that were passed along to police.

Harbor seals don’t move quickly on land so they spook very easily and flee to the water where they are very fast swimmers. During the pupping season, frightened moms can take off and outswim or get separated from their pups, leaving them behind to drown or starve.

As a result, laws and common sense tell us to stay far back and leave them alone. If you see people disturbing the seals you can call the PG police non-emergency number (831) 648-3143.

If you see a harbor seal or any marine mammal that seems to be stranded or injured, call the Marine Mammal Center at (831) 633-6298 and let trained rescuers assess the situation.

The award was presented to Michael Groshong by Mayor Bill Kampe at a ceremony in city hall plaza. Michael has been very involved in various Heritage Society projects.

“Scripture, tradition, experience, and reason” As an integral part of the Forest Hill Manor Retirement Community, Forest Hill United Methodist Church in Pacific Grove is unique. Church services are held in the modest chapel, but all of the amenities of the Manor are available to the resident congregation including three pianos, the 24 hour per day open chapel with an organ and video projector, a library, two dining rooms, and a sunny atrium fitness center.

Originally Forest Hill Manor was a hotel—the elegant 5-story, 98-room Forest Hill Hotel—opened in 1926; therefore it is part of Pacific Grove’s registry of historic buildings. The owner was Samuel Parsons, a successful wholesale produce broker who moved from Maine to Pacific Grove in 1915. In 1954 California-Nevada Methodist Homes acquired the property intending it to be a deluxe retirement home. In 1959 a West Wing was added which includes the chapel. Cottages and a South Wing were added in 2009.

Gonzales No Match for PG Pitching as Breakers Shutout Spartans (twice!)

By Biran “Woodie” Wood

There is nothing like home cooking and that goes for home pitching as well. On Tuesday (Apr. 17) the host Pacific Grove Breakers Varsity shut out Gonzales 13-0 led by their stellar pitching staff. Starting pitcher Hunter Hanes pitched four innings of 2-hit shutout ball, striking out five. Relievers Josh Mares and Colton Bell combined to close out the final inning also allowing no runs.

The Breaker bats were alive as they banged out twelve hits. PG got off to a big start in the first inning as they tallied seven runs. Trevor Heyn led off with a single to left. Dylan Graham followed with a double to right field. Heyn was off in a flash and third base coach Chris Veloz waved him home as the ball was relayed to the infield.

It was a bang-bang play at the plate as the second baseman’s throw and Heyn arrived simultaneously, however, Trevor’s slide avoided the tag and scored PG’s first run.

The turnstile at home plate continued as Graham and Hanes scored on a double by Daniel Rosas. Colby Burnell’s grounder brought home Kevahn Ebron. Nathan Wood and Ben Minik followed with RBI singles. After the dust settled, 12 PG players went to the plate and the score was 7-0.

In the bottom of the third, Pacific Grove added two runs. River Watts walked and Nathan Wood singled. Hanes plated them both with a double and a 9-0 lead. PG’s final four runs were in the bottom of the fourth. Ebron led off with an infield single, advanced to second on a balk and was plated by Burnell’s single. Jackson Destefano (walk) and Wood & Minik (fielder’s choices) loaded the bases. After Destefano scored on a wild pitch, Wood and Minik scored on a double down the left field line by Heyn.

Graham had three hits on the day while Heyn and Wood had two each. Heyn, Hanes, Rosas, and Burnell all tallied two RBIs while Wood scored three times and Ebron twice.

PG travels to Gonzales on Friday (Apr. 20) for a rematch at 4pm. PG remains in second place, tied with Carmel a game and a half behind first place Soledad.

Courtney Stellar in 2-hit 7-inning shutout of Gonzales JV

PG’s JJ Courtney 2-hit complete game shutout led the Breaker JV team over the Spartans of Gonzales in a 5-0 victory Friday (Apr. 17) at the Junior Varsity Field.

JJ faced the minimum number of batters in his seven inning stint (21) allowing no walks and both batters with singles were erased on the basepaths, a truly spectacular outing at any level.

PG managed just two baserunners in the first three innings, singles by Sean Powell in the first and Jay McMahon in the third. The Breakers threatened in the fourth, loading the bases on singles by Chianti Carter and Desi Green sandwiched around a walk to Courtney. However, Gonzales was able extract themselves from trouble

His new book, The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, showcases the historical images and the story of the Museum since it began in 1883.

Published by Arcadia Publishing as part of their Images of America series, the book will be released on Monday, April 23. It will be available in the Museum’s gift store and bookstores across the Peninsula. Patrick will sign copies of the book at the Museum on Thursday, April 26, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Besides his work at the Museum, Patrick is a member of the Central Coast Writers group and holds a degree in journalism from Northern Arizona University.

leaving the score tied a zero.

Courtney’s perfect game was broken up in the fifth when the Spartan’s lead-off hitter singled. However, he was erased when he tried to steal second.

The Breakers finally broke through the scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth.

After Mario Bonelli reached on an error, McMahon sacrificed him to second and Jordan Booker followed with a base on balls. Powell delivered the big hit of the day with a triple driving home both runners. Powell then scored the third run of the inning on Zach Malone’s ground ball. PG added an additional two in the sixth. Desi Green reached on an error and was followed by consecutive singles off the bats of Clint Cargile, Bonelli, and McMahon.

Courtney allowed a second single in the seventh inning, both hits coming from the same batter. The next batter hit a comebacker to the pitcher who threw to Powell at second who relayed to Bonelli at first for a 1-6-3 double play.

Gary Baley

BaleyWik Yes, it’s true. Once again science imitates art. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a computer headset apparatus that can transcribe words that a user verbalizes internally but doesn’t speak aloud. This futuristic technology was imagined in the 1982 Clint Eastwood movie “Firefox” where Clint, an American fighter pilot, masquerades as a Russian and steals a top-secret Russian plane that is controlled by the thoughts of its pilot.

The scientists describe the device and associated computer software as “an intelligence augmentation device.” Grad student Arnav Kapur says that the device is “part of a complete silent-computing system that lets the user undetectably pose and receive answers to difficult computational problems.”

After 15 minutes of training the prototype device, transcription accuracy was reported at 92 percent.

In the future all of us will not only have to watch what we say but also what we think.

Drone Warfare

Low-cost off the shelf drones are taking to the battlefield not just as observation platforms, but also as attack platforms. The New York times reported

that ISIS has been using drones to drop modified 40 millimeter grenades, return to base, rearm and repeat. Russian-backed insurgents in Ukraine are reported to have used thermite grenades to set fires at fuel dumps and munitions stores at Balakliya.

Drones are capable of carrying and deploying chemical and biological agents and they are capable of flying autonomously in huge formations with dodging and darting maneuvers. Imagine a swarm of killer bees—you might swat down a few, but a bunch will get through.

The U.S. Army describes such drones as “very difficult to defeat using direct-fire weapons.” Israel is believed to have shot down a small quadcopter drone costing perhaps a few hundred dollars with a multi-million-dollar Patriot missile—a practice which will rapidly deplete counter-weapons stores, not to mention money.

The USA has recently deployed a high-energy laser drone-countermeasure weapon mounted on a dune-buggy type vehicle, but it is unclear how many drones it could destroy before being overwhelmed in a swarm attack.

It’s clear that non-state actors will be interested in fire-and-forget autonomous drones and drone swarms that could invade buildings while carrying deadly cargo.

Major California housing bill narrowed before its first legislative debate Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors Market Matters Source: The Los Angeles Times Ahead of its first legislative committee hearing scheduled for next week, a Bay Area lawmaker has narrowed his bill aimed at building more housing near transit across California.

Under the newly amended Senate Bill 827 from Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), cities would be allowed to restrict building heights to four or five stories, down from a maximum of eight stories, within a half-mile of rail and ferry stops.

Wiener also limited changes surrounding bus stops.

The new version of the bill wouldn’t mandate height increases around bus stops, instead allowing for increased density and lower parking requirements. It also would apply only at bus stops with frequent service throughout the day, rather than just

during rush hour.

SB 827 tries to address the state’s longstanding shortage of homes and a push by climate regulators to build near mass transit through dramatically changing development rules, particularly in the state’s largest metropolitan areas. Earlier versions of the bill would have affected nearly all of San Francisco and, according to a Times analysis, about 190,000 parcels currently zoned for single-family homes in Los Angeles — roughly half such parcels in the city.

Additional changes to the bill made this week try to address concerns relating to the promotion of gentrification. All projects greater than 10 units will have to set aside a portion for low income residents. It further restricts the demolition of rent-controlled or formerly rent controlled properties. And the developers will have to provide monthly recurring transit passes to all residents at no cost.

There’s Something About Mary: I Loved her Dearly Jane Roland Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts My mother grew up in an era and environment where family was most important…even extended and “shirt tail” relatives. For those of you untutored in the vernacular ,“shirt tail” refers to relatives no matter how distant. She was the youngest of eight children, born in Boston to an affluent family. By the time she was born family winters in Paris had ceased. Uncle Sam and Mother were the only two left at home and Sam spent winters in prep school. He was eight years her senior, the older sisters were in their twenties, two of the youngsters had died, Harry was in his teens as was Rosa. Sam and his little sister were very close and remained so until his untimely demise in 1968.

I didn’t meet Mary, Uncle Sam’s youngest daughter, until 1938 when we moved from New York to Ft. Huachuca, Arizona we sailed on an army transport – a luxury liner – into San Francisco under the newly constructed Golden Gate Bridge and were met by my uncle and members of his family. We went to a hotel and the next day to Pebble Beach. Mary must have been in her late-teens probably preparing for Stanford, but I remember her kindness. Getting down on the floor to play with me and giving me a silver pearl bracelet which I kept for years. She became my idol, a princess. An oasis, as it were, in a land of giants. Sam had children from a previous marriage Sam Jr., Nancy and John Boit, those three I got to know quite well as they visited Mother in Tucson many times. In fact, Nancy’s husband, Lent Hooker, was stationed at the Navy Line’s School and Nancy stayed with us often. Sam was always a favorite first of Mother’s and then mine. He was a gentle soul who was always good to his younger cousin.

I saw Mary a few times over the years but the 12 years difference in ages was massive at that time and I didn’t really get to know her until I was 20, she was married to Richard Osborn, living at the charming old Mediterranean which became Casa Palmero…In those days it was somewhat run down and very comfortable. We were visiting, and the couple included me in one of their after-tennis parties to meet the younger brother of Richard’s roommate in college. Once again, we sat on the floor because there were too many guests for chairs. Someone asked me a question, I responded “Oh, I don’t do that I am actually very shy” A voice behind me said “you are? I am too.” It was my cousin Mary. During that summer and the years that followed when Mother moved to Carmel Valley, and I to San Francisco. Mary and Richard included me in some of their gatherings. She introduced me to one of my first serious beaus, sending him up to the house to say, “Mary sent me.” They spent the summers at the River Ranch and I got to know the children for whom I had the greatest affection. When I married the first time, Richard and Mary had a party for me, Mary was my matron of honor, the children participated. All the dogs were at the reception at the ranch. When my daughter, Ellen, was born, Mary was her godmother and a wonderful, caring and attentive one. When we came out to visit from Florida, Mary always had a gathering even when she was recovering from cancer surgery. I remember that time when her friend Susan Vandersluis had had the same operation...

The two women chatted in a humorous way about their ordeal. Not long thereafter Mary and Richard’s union ended and a year or so later she married Will Shaw, they lived in a great little house in Monterey which is now a bank. Will was building a house for “his” Mary in Pebble Beach and one in Big Sur which was called “Mary’s House.” The house down the coast was being built by Sam the third, Cousin Sam’s son, whom I adored and had since he lived with Mother out at the River Ranch during the summer. He has been, over the years, the brother I never had. Shortly after John and I married my mother died. Mary and Will hosted a small party after the service. When Will died Mary called me, “would it be all right if Michael (Moore) and I come for dinner?0” We set two more places. Mary loved to sew, made many of her clothes; I still have skirts, one for Ellen, one for me, she made in 1973. She was a great cook, a craftswoman and a gamer. Although she excelled in golf and won championships, she said she hated the game and took up tennis.

For many years holidays were spent with Mary and her family. Occasionally Thanksgiving, but, always Christmas Eve (black tie, no children, until Jennie, and Mary, Susan’s daughter were born, and rules were relaxed) and New Year’s Day. The former in Pebble Beach and the latter in Big Sur. Mary was interested in

family and extended family. I kept in touch with those whom I knew of from New England... When they came to visit Mary would entertain them. When I returned to the Peninsula she immediately involved me in many activities, what Sue Dewar missed in my curriculum, Mary found for me. She said I must be involved with the Beacon House Art Auction as “Daddy gave the house to the city of Pacific Grove.” So, I did, first as a hostess, with Mary and Susan, her oldest daughter, and my second cousin. John and I remained involved for years and met many of the local artists. In 1974 she called me and said she wanted to start an auxiliary for the SPCA, animals were her passion, especially dogs. It started with Lisa Work, cousin, Nancy Borland, Mary and me. We met at her house and at the Ranch and soon built a following ( a large following). We hosted two parties a year, summer and holiday and from those events came the cookbook “Parties and Picnics” published, edited and assembled by Mary and Joyce Nicholas, the rest of us cooked and tasted.

We met for years.

Prior to her first marriage, Mary dated Dick Tevis whom she had known all of her life. He went off to war, she to New York. He came home determined to tie the knot with his love, and learned she was betrothed to Richard. He later married Lee Thacher, the couples were close friends. Then Will and, later, Lee passed away.

Dick and Mary started dating, the rest is history, it is the fodder for a Nicholas Sparks novel. She loved my column, was quick to point out inaccuracies in local history, but was crushed when it ceased to be mailed. My column list (emailed) on line took care of that.

There are too many Mary stories in my storage trove of memories. I loved her dearly. She was always “my princess”. When we lost Jane Ellen d’Avenas, who had been a fourth in both of our weekly games, Mary, Peggy Mauz and a fourth (usually Sally Baumgartner) played at Mary’s for many months. I was able to see her weekly, always in good cheer, never complaining, always the lady, always a little shy. She enjoyed interesting people, didn’t suffer fools, and judged people (if she judged) by what they had to offer life, not financially nor socially, but by the personalities. She adored her family, friends and animals. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. She, Jane Ellen, Richard Tevis, and Gene Espstein are enjoying bridge as I write.

Jane Roland lives in Monterey with husband, John and Annie (Schnoodle) Toby (kitty)..she manages the Neverland Benefit Shop for Pacific Repertory Theatre. Furniture, Jewelry and greeting cards are needed as well as a few volunteers…call 6490657 or write gcr770@aol.com

Stout Brownies Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Naval Postgraduate School I am in a scotch and cigar club that meets on Thursday afternoons in the Rose Garden at the Naval Postgraduate School and occasionally I’ll bake something for the crew. Last week I decided to make stout brownies with stout frosting. These were such a hit that I was politely told that they had replaced my usual chocolate chip cookies at the top of the favorites list.

For those who are not that familiar with stout beer, stout is a dark beer commonly associated with undertones of coffee or chocolate. The word stout itself was first used in 1677 in the “Egerton Manuscript” and implied a strong beer. You may have heard the term porter which—for much of history was used interchangeably with the word stout—and was used to describe a dark beer. The word porter was first used in 1720 to describe “the thick and strong beverage…consumed by the working class.” Nowadays, in an age of craft brewery, there is a distinction between the two, brewers have come to a consensus that porters are made with malted barley while stouts are brewed with unmalted barley. Historically, stouts were the strongest of beers, 7-8 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) but don’t have to be! Guinness Draught, the world’s best-selling stout is 4.1-4.3 percent ABV. This recipe calls for you to reduce the stout (Guinness or any other type of stout) to 2/3 of its original volume. I made these in the morning before work and I thought this wouldn’t take very long but I was late to work that day on account of slowly simmering beer for longer than expected at 7:00am.

Ingredients: one 12 oz bottle stout beer (you could use Guinness, I found Founder’s Breakfast Stout at Grove Market) 3/4 cup unsalted butter 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks (I like the kind from Trader Joe’s) 1 and 1/4 cups sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder Stout Frosting 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 2-3 Tablespoons reduced stout (from step 1) 1 teaspoon espresso powder 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Directions: In a small saucepan, bring the stout to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower to medium heat and allow to simmer until reduced down to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. You will use 1/2 cup in the brownies and the rest in the frosting.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9 inch pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out. Set aside.

Place the butter and chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt using the microwave on high in 30 second increments, whisking after each, until completely smooth. Mix in the sugar and 1/2 cup of reduced stout until completely combined.

Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Finally, whisk in the flour, salt, and espresso powder. The batter will be thick and shiny. Pour and spread evenly into prepared pan.

Bake for 35 minutes, then test the brownies with a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the pan. If it comes out with wet batter, the brownies are not done. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and cutting into squares.

The frosting: In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar, beating on low at first then increasing to high speed. Once creamy and combined, beat in the remaining reduced stout, the espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

Taste. If it’s too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of milk. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar. Frost cooled brownies.

Cover and store leftover brownies at room temperature for up to 1 week but if your friends are anything like mine, you won’t have any leftovers.

What does God say about children?

Bill Cohen

Reasoning With God Psalm 127:3-4 “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.”

God gives us children as part of His plan to create an eternal family, Gen 1:27-28, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” God has plans for all of us who willingly accept His offer to become part of His eternal family, 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.”

God knows us before He even creates us in the womb, Jer 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” The birthing process is a metaphor to explain the pain we suffer in this life as part of God creating His eternal family, Jn 16:21, “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.” Children are gifts from God, Is 8:18, Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.” The miracle of our complex bodies point to our creator and the birthing process to our responsibilities in the creating of His eternal family, Ps 139:14, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” and 1 Cor 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

When God does give us a child, He also gives us the great responsibility of raising that child in the way of the Lord and it is humbling, Matt 18:3-5, “And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.” When we accept God’s gift of a child, we must also accept His calling for us to provide for our children, 1 Tim 5:8, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” He calls us to teach our children God’s Word and His Way, Prov 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” God knows which of us will honor the responsibility He has given us, Gen 18:19, “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”

Since children are “an heritage of the Lord,” we do not own them; God is the eventual heir of our children. So, the time we have with them should be focused on preparing them for Him, Mk 9:37, “Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.” This means we must show our children God’s love for all of us, teach them how to love God and their neighbor, teach them His commandments and, finally, we must live by those commandments as an example for them to follow, Deut 6:6-7, “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” God has no greater joy, 3 Jn 1:4, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”

Yes, God’s plan asks us to teach our children, however, part of His plan includes

giving us children to help prepare us for heaven, Matt 19:14, “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” God gives us children to help us grow out of our selfish nature, as we learn to sacrifice for them. Our sacrifices include our sleep, our time, and our old life; which means some of those enticing adventures with our friends. Following God’s calling requires us to put the needs of our children ahead or our own needs, Eph 6:4, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”

God directs us to honor Him by sticking to the truth, without mixing it with fleshy wisdom, 2 Cor 1:12, “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.” When we honor God this way, He will direct our paths and our children’s paths, Prov 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” He knows there will be people who will try to lead us away from Him with lies and half-truths, Matt 24:4-5, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

God gives us grandchildren to help us learn to love unconditionally; we are not responsible for the rules they live by, only the love we can share with them. As grandparents, we learn to better understand our Father in heaven, and the love and freedom He has given us.

Times • Page 21 P.G.’s Weather Suits This Former New Englander Just Fine April 20, 2018 • CEDAR STREET

Keepers of our Culture

Guest Columnist Jeffrey Whitmore

In a week that started out with a freak hailstorm, it may seem the height of irony to enthuse about Pacific Grove’s perfect weather.

And yet, we at Keepers of Our Culture think we’re having a pretty darn nice spring this year: the miracle of the late season rains, followed by days of blue skies and light breeze. This week’s guest columnist, Jeffrey Whitmore, shares his thoughts about P.G. weather, from page 59 of Life in Pacific Grove, the book of stories by and for residents and visitors of P.G., published this past October by Park Place Publications.

From Lousy to Not-So-Lousy There’s some question whether it was Mark Twain or his pal Charles Dudley Warner who wrote, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”

It’s also debatable which man wrote, “If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.”

In early April of 1967, I had waited through a New England winter and part of the following spring for the weather to change from lousy to not-so-lousy. It hadn’t.

If the two aphorists were wrong on one count, I figured they might be wrong on the other. I decided the best thing I could do about New England weather was to leave it behind. I headed for California to visit an ex-army buddy who used to boast about the Golden State’s weather.

I left Logan Airport in a snowstorm, landed in SFO in sunshine, and took a cab to my friend’s house in Palo Alto. The next morning I went out to his backyard in my underwear and picked an orange from a tree. Case closed.

Becoming an Official Californian I soon moved to Berkeley, got a job and a driver’s license, and registered to vote.

I became an official Californian.

Four years later, my new family—three native-born Californians and I—moved to Pacific Grove. We’d visited it before and found it delightful. In some ways it reminded me of the Cape Cod town where I’d spent most of my youth. Each town had at one time been the last in its state to legalize the sale of liquor. (In 1971, the venerable Last Chance Saloon in handy New Monterey was still a reminder of dry times in Pacific Grove.) Each town had also been home to campgrounds for summer religious retreats.

Today the area known as the Retreat section in Pacific Grove and the area in Eastham,

A family picnic in Jewell Park, as captured by Pacific Grove artist Keith Larson, is the perfect outdoor activity during one of our warm, sunny spring days.

Massachusetts, called Campground Road hark back to similar Puritanical eras of the past.

Our first house was on Sixth Street near Pine Avenue. We were told it was in “The Sun Belt.” We later decided it was a running gag favored by realtors.

One weekend an amateur astronomer friend from Berkeley visited us. The nights were unusually clear. The stars sparkled. How different from the light-polluted nights of Berkeley! Within a month he’d moved to Pacific Grove. Alas, his telescope seldom pierced our persistent fog. He departed in search of a less fogbound clime.

Occasionally I’m asked if I miss the changing seasons.

I try to look wise. I grip my chin, look off into the middle distance, etc.

And I say, “No.” If there’s anything weather-wise I miss about New England, it’s the warm summer nights. They’re rare in Pacific Grove. When they occur, they’re a blessing, and we locals stroll the streets. Though the shops downtown may be closed for the night, happy wanderers are still afoot there.

Unless—as some maintain—global warming is a “Chinese hoax,” those nights may soon become less rarified. Till then our weather suits me just fine.

Spring Tonic Comes in Many Forms D H Shook

Living Healthy

Is there any season that breeds a burst of poetry as much as spring? Well, of course there are the autumnal leaves and cozy fires, and then there are toes dangling in a lazy summer pond, and yes the crystal starry nights of winter, but other than that, spring takes the cake. Besides it is the fair Lady of Spring who is at our door today; waltzing in with floral scented, butterfly dancing, bird chirping charm that flays the heart open to spill a thousand unspoken poems in a single breath. It can be enough to quell even a devout cynic, if for just a moment.

Spring is the traditional time for…spring cleaning! Yea! Get rid of all that useless junk and old dusty cobwebs, clear out the garage, or a closet, the junk drawer or even your own body. A spring tonic is a way to tonify and energize your body. Spring tonics are an old tradition that take advantage of the fresh green shoots of the season, to bring vitality and renewal after the long winter months. Of course in our time of modern commerce in this country, we no longer have to subsist on only canned and dried food for the winter. The abundance we enjoy would stagger our ancestors; however there is still virtue in maintaining the tradition of the spring tonics. Obviously spring is the time of renewal, with little chickies hatching and buds and flowers blooming, and to partner with that rhythm, by way of a spring tonic, is to put wind in your sails and buy a ticket to the Carousel.

There are hundreds of options for a spring tonics, and the best way to choose one is to find one that resonates with you. It is important to feel good about what you are doing because the whole point it to make you feel good. A spring tonic tones up the body, often by using a combination of nutrition and cleansing. Using wild plants that grow around where you live is one of the most powerful spring tonic avenues, but it is necessary to really know your plants and have a source that is clean of pollutants, like car exhaust etc. Some people are more comfortable having experts do the harvesting and that is fine too. To adopt a spring tonic is to engage in an act of a partnership with nature that can be empowering.

Spring Tonic Ideas Dandelions (Taraxacum): are a time honored spring tonic. A tea made of dandelion flowers, roots or leaves is a highly beneficial tonic. Fresh dandelion leaves eaten as a salad or added to a salad is great. Fresh dandelion leaves are available at some stores.

Nettles (Urtica Dioica): are springing up by the creeks now and the benefits of nettle is legendary. They are chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Some people

think it helps hay fever. Brew up some nettle tea, or if you have a source for fresh nettles, pick some and cook them up substituting nettles for spinach in almost any recipe.

Wild Tea: If you are familiar with chickweed (stellaria media), cleavers (galium aparine) or plantain (plantago) pick some or buy some and make a tea of them in combination or singularly. These make a wonderful spring tonic.

Lemon Water: For a simple spring tonic first thing in the morning for two weeks drink an 8oz glass of water with an half a fresh squeezed lemon and a teaspoon of olive oil in it. Wait at least 10 or 15 minutes before eating breakfast.

Essiac: For the serious spring tonic adventurer a cup or glass of essiac tea every morning for two weeks will make a difference. Essiac is an old Ojibway recipe that has burdock root (arctium), sheep sorrel (rumex acetosella), rhubarb root (rheum rhabarbarum), and slippery elm bark (ulmus rubra) in it. Essiac has a reputation for being a effective herbal treatment for numerous conditions, but it can be used as a spring tonic as well. It can be found in the ready made in the proper proportions at most health food stores.

An exercise program, an herbal cleansing formula from an health food store, a picnic in a beautiful place can all serve as a spring tonic. It is something that feeds both your body and your spirit. If nothing else take a walk on the beach put your bare feet in the water and give yourself a hug.

Humpty Dumpty Housing—Part 9

A message for Dog Lovers Risking Old Mother Hubbardhood Wanda Sue Parrott

Homeless in Paradise

Digging into deeper meanings of nursery rhymes made me wonder: “If Humpty Dumpty can be a metaphor for today’s broken housing market, what other Mother Goose rhymes might be relevant to homelessness today?”

Google-search struck gold when Old Mother Hubbard popped up in this 6-line stanza most of us learned as toddlers: Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To give her poor dog a bone.

But when she got there The cupboard was bare And so the poor dog had none.

The very long nursery rhyme first appeared in 1805 and remains unchanged.

Its second and subsequent string of 4-line stanzas include this verse you might also remember from childhood: She went to the baker’s To buy him some bread.

When she came back The poor dog was dead.

Doris Beckman’s magic golden wand Doris Beckman of Marina founded Golden Connections, which co-hosted a workshop with the Monterey County Area Agency on Aging at the Marina Library on March 23, to help women avoid becoming modern-day Old Mothers Hubbard, a state into which Doris nearly tumbled after her husband of 43 years died of lung cancer a few years ago.

Doris didn’t nearly wind up homeless because she spoiled a pet pooch; it was due to unpreparedness in handling everything from financial matters to paperwork she was ill equipped to tackle in shock and grief.

Widowhood left Doris challenged to organize her own priorities and start taking steps to help herself.

She did it by attending meetings of the Friends of Homeless Women and Homeless Outreach meetings, and by starting Golden Connections as a small business

The dame made a curtsey The dog made a bow.

The dame said, “Your Servant.”

The dog said, “Bow Wow!” When I found this 1847 illustration showing Mother Hubbard as a bent old crone in rags, while her doggie is posed like a spoiled rich lord, I got the message of the old nursery rhyme meant to be a moral guide for 19th-century English children: Set priorities and be prepared to be responsible.

In other words: Serve yourself first!

Or, to put another slant to the moral: You don’t have to be rich to be spoiled (if you’re a dog!)

The English hag in the old drawing could be a 21st-century Monterey Peninsula bag woman in rags whose dog sports a jeweled collar, knitted sweater and even a raincoat.

Aha! Indeed, Old Mother Hubbard is a relevant metaphor today!

So is a local fairy godmother named Doris Beckman!

Meanwhile, if you’re a female dog lover facing Old Mother Hubbardhood, is there a message for you here: She went to the hosier’s To buy him some hose.

When she came back He was drest in his clothes.

In my humble opinion, homeless dogs deserve housing, too! It wouldhelp get countless Mothers Hubbard off the streets.

which, for a modest fee, helped women who faced homelessness connect with women who could offer shelter.

Golden Connections grew into a service offering, for less than $50, a personalized guided consultation and workbook program through which Doris helps women facing ultimate aloneness lay a foundation of preparedness before shock hits and, thus, avoid the Mother Hubbard syndrome of “when she got there, the cupboard was bare.” It also became a community of friends.

Who’s Who of attendees The “Sharing Housing Option” workshop featured Annamarie Pluhar of Vermont, internationally known author who specializes in the objectives of the gathering: How home-sharing can work; benefits of home sharing, and identification of the next steps.

Attendees read like the Who’s Who of Homeless Services: Housing Resource Center, Community Health Innovations, County of Santa Cruz, and Department of Social Services and Catholic Charities.

Others were: Central Coast Center for Independent Living, Monterey County Behavioral Health, Friends of Rippling River, Tree House Mortgages, Area Agency on Aging, and the Veterans Resource Center.

Also in the audience were women who face potential homelessness.

Participants explored the 22 benefits of sharing housing, guidelines for living well with others, and a step-by-step process for selecting good home-mates.

Local issue leading the list was “Housing is unaffordable. People who are born here can’t afford to stay here.”

Next step: Create networking opportunities for seekers and providers of housing.

In an earlier interview, Doris told Cedar Street Times: “Since two-thirds of working women in Monterey County are living at the poverty level it doesn’t take much to tip them into homelessness. A job loss, illness, car repairs, loss of spouse or divorce are some of the ways a woman can lose everything.”

Ever-Popular Patrons’ Show Opens

Pacific Grove Art Center’s popular Patrons’ Show will open May 4 with a free, public First Friday reception from 7-9 p.m. and with the Jazz Cats performing. The new exhibits at 568 Lighthouse Ave. remain open until June 28.

The Patrons’ Show features a wide range of artwork and media, all generously donated by Art Center patrons and local artists. The art is offered in three categories to suit all tastes and budgets: Master ($250 ticket), Ascending ($100 ticket), and Aspiring ($50 ticket). Every ticket holder is guaranteed to win a piece of art because the Art Center matches the number of tickets sold to the exact number of donations.

“Our purpose at the nonprofit Pacific Grove Art Center is to Educate, Appreciate, Exhibit, Encourage, and Inspire,” said board president Adrianne Jonson. “Admission to the PGAC is made possible through your donations and critical to our success as a nonprofit is The Patrons’ Show, one of our biggest fundraisers. Join with us in this fundraising event as together we build community through creativity.”

Marien, Hacienda Also opening at the May 4 event will be the dreamscapes of Erin Lee Gafill and the collaboration of printmakers Nora and bfurbush, along with colorful abstracts by Ed Smiley and four individual works of the Pacific Grove High School AP Art Class The new exhibits are:

“Earth, Sky, Water:” oil paintings by Erin Lee Gafill, Dyke Gallery In this new show, award winning artist Erin Lee Gafill distills a lifetime of observing, remembering, and painting the Big Sur Coast. This collection of large and small scale landscapes, “dreamscapes,” and atmospheric abstractions evoke early California Impressionism and Tonalism while exploring the power of color as an expressive force unto its own. Here, sea, sky, Erin Gafill, Big Sur, Glorious Day oak and hill are abstracted to the simplest forms, evoking the power of myth and memory.

Noro & bfurbush - Convergence, Annand Gallery Local artists Noro and bfurbush are inspired by nature and the elements. Each investigates space at the edge of solidity, intuitively and ethereally. Both create their works on paper utilizing printmaking processes such as monotype, collagraph, drypoint, etching, and mixed media.

Discovering that their images complement each other, b and Noro have been in dialog for a number of years. Their current collaboration ”Convergence” shares a moment of their conversation with you.

Noro, Counterpoint

Eyeful: The Colorful Abstracts of Ed Smiley, Boyer Gallery Color is life. I express myself in an abstract way, Smiley says. This for me is the purest pursuit of reality.

I am fascinated with the paradoxical juxtaposition of intermediated digital imagery with personally evocative paint handling.

I scan images in a copier while moving them, producing laser jet prints I transfer directly into the paint surface, which I further combine with a variety of multimedia mark making and direct gestural painting.

Pacific Grove High School AP Art Class Exhibit, Small Halls Ed Smiley, Whippet Good The works reflect the students’ personal, unique, and artistic vision. The works explore and exhibit the synthesis of form, technique, and content. The body of work each student is presenting demonstrates a sustained investigation of a personal visual idea.
