Feast of Lanterns Kick-Off Event Julia Platt Plaza at Lovers Point Plans Proceed Four years in the making – and overdue for
decades – the City of Pacific Grove will transform a portion of Lovers Point Park parking lot into what is now named Julia Platt Plaza. Envisioned as a welcoming entry to the city, the plans call for removing six parking spaces at the bottom of Forest Ave. and reconfiguring the main parking lot and making changes in the stormwater path which will add six car parking spaces back in, plus four spaces in the lot and five motorcycle spots.

Pt. Lobos Trail Reopens with Wheelchair Access It’s a famous trail that many hope will now gain fame for more than its jaw-dropping views, but also for being accessible to people in wheelchairs, scooters and walkers. Just in time for summer, the California Conservation Corps has partnered with California State Parks to restore the Sea Lion Point trail at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve – widening and fortifying the trail after much of it had been eroded by storms and regular use. The Sea Lion Point Trail which overlooks
the spectacular seascapes of Headland and Sea Lion coves is just one of the trails the CCC has built or enhanced. The CCC's work on the newly restored trail brought it up to current ADA standards, with a firmer surface, proper drainage and improved disabled access. More visitors, including seniors and those in wheelchairs, will now be able to take in the exceptional views of the ocean, sea lions and sea otters. Through their work on the 3/4-mile trail,
corpsmembers from the CCC's Monterey Bay Center have added to their construction skills. Many of the State Parks staff working with the CCC are former corpsmembers. The CCC has worked at Point Lobos SNR for many years and also upgraded the Bird Island Trail for disabled access. The federal Civilian Conservation Corps, the original CCC, worked at Point Lobos in the 1930s.

Angel Garcia and his business partner, Elisabeth Ramirez-Fagan, launched their salsa company at the Monterey Farmer’s Market this past Tuesday. I rode my bike over from the Naval Postgraduate School after work and found Angel; his business partner, Elisabeth; and his grandson Aaron setting up their booth. Angel worked at the Graduate School of Business of Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School for 18 years but after five years of retirement, needed something to fill his time. During his time at NPS, he found himself in charge of party planning— retirements, hail and farewells, holiday parties, etc. He would make homemade salsa “with real simple stuff and people started liking it!” he told me. Angel even won four out of four best salsa contests in a blind taste testing in the economics classroom setting at the business school. “Remember this is a business school and these business professors, these marketing professors, they know what they’re
talking about and they would say, “Angel you have to market this stuff!” and I would just sort of laugh it off. The thought never occurred to me. I’ve been retired now for five years and I started remembering the encouragement I got about the salsa.” Just a few months ago, he got the final push to start his company when he ran into a former colleague, Becky Jones, around town. After that interaction, Angel said, “I woke up one day and said, ‘I’m going to sell salsa!’” They are selling the fresh and tasty salsa, which is indeed like tasting summer, for $5 a container. It beckons for an ice cold Corona. So look out for Angel Garcia’s Fresh and Tasty Salsa at the Monterey Farmer’s Market and soon at the Pacific Grove farmer’s market. He and Elisabeth said it was on their to do list for tomorrow to research further. After celebrating their launch of the salsa business tonight, of course.

On Saturday, May 20, ten Pacific Grove athletes traveled to the Central Coast Section Trials in Gilroy in an attempt to qualify for the Central Coast Finals to be held on Friday, May 26. Anna Stefanou, Taylor Biondi, Jada Ware, Kulaea Tulua, and Mary Grebing represented the PG girls’ team. Stefanou was the only PG athlete to have qualified for two CCS Trials events, running both the 800m and the 1600m, finishing twenty-third and thirtieth in two very challenging fields. Biondi, Stefanou’s counterpart over the course of the season, finished just behind Stefanou in the 800m at twenty-fourth, running a personal record of 2:29.03. Meanwhile, Jada Ware finished thirty-first in the 100m hurdles, while Mary Grebing hit a PR of 31-11.50 on her way to a twenty-sixth place finish in the triple jump. Kulaea Tulua narrowly missed out on finals qualification in the long jump, finishing fifteenth when a top 12 finish was needed. Five different athletes represented the boys’ team. Gavin James, in his first year on the track team, finished twenty-first with a time of 16.88 seconds in the 110m hurdles. Freshman Thomas Jameson ran a 54.65, finishing thirtieth in the 400m, while Jacob Wren vaulted his way to a PR of 12 feet and a thirteenth place finish. Sophomore Jake Alt narrowly missed out on a qualification spot, finishing nineteenth in the 1600m with a time of 4:31.54. But it would be freshman Will Stefanou who stole the show, in his first ever season of high school track claiming the 13th and final qualification spot in the 800m with a personal record of 2:00.29 seconds. Normally, only 12 runners advance, but due to special circumstances thirteen runners were accepted into the finals. Stefanou will run at the CCS Finals on Friday, May 26th, in Gilroy, where he hopes to break the elusive two-minute barrier. Good luck Will!

Flippo has announced that Pacific Grove resident Terry Veal, age 56, was sentenced to four years for recklessly evading a police officer. Veal also admitted a prior strike conviction for a residential burglary. On Saturday, September 24, 2016, at approximately 3:35pm, a Seaside police officer observed Veal driving on the 1200 block of Hilby Avenue. The officer recognized Veal as a suspect in a recent burglary, and attempted to stop Veal to question him about his involvement. Veal initially pulled over, then suddenly accelerated and made a quick turn onto a nearby street. Seaside police officers initiated a pursuit. During
the pursuit, Veal ran several stop signs and traffic lights, drove through residential neighborhoods at 60 miles per hour, and caused several other drivers to slam on their brakes to avoid colliding with him. Veal’s dangerous driving put not only his own life at risk, but also endangered the officers and public. Officers continued to pursue Veal for several minutes until they were forced to terminate the pursuit in the interest of public safety. Monterey County Superior Court Judge Robert Burlison sentenced Veal on May 18, 2017, to four years in state prison. This case was investigated by Seaside Police Officer Anthony Snell.

A WAVE Breaks in Pacific Grove
The Free Summer Program for PG Kids Makes its Debut nobody there, kids stay home and play on their iPads because they’re almost forced to. I wanted to encourage activity in athletics because I believe the word ‘underprivileged’ is any kid who doesn’t go outside and play.” He continued. “Another big issue was money, and it’s the main purpose we’re running this program. Every league a kid plays in now costs $200, or whatever it is, or $500 to go to a basketball camp. You don’t know how many parents I’ve spoken with who tell me ‘my son has always wanted to play soccer or my daughter has always wanted to swim, but I’m a single mom who can’t afford it.’ There’s a lot of people like that here. So I wanted to develop a program that was free for kids. It’s about the kids. We’re running this program so that at no point for three weeks do the kids need to bring one dollar with them to do anything special. “I call this a charity, a true charity, even though we have non-profit status. There’s no other program like this, not in the county, not in California, not in the nation. We partnered with Under Armour and Clif Bar right away, Fortune 500 companies that said to us, ‘Look, nobody’s doing this, it’s innovative, and we’re in with you.’ Under Armour is donating back packs, shorts and shirts for each child, and Clif Bars is donating two bars a day for snacks. WAVE pays salaries to the coaches and teachers. “Through generous donations, we have a budget and we pay salaries. Let me tell you about teachers and coaches. They’re what makes school districts go. I really felt that in order for our program to be the most successful it could be, I had to do it this way, and offer a salary. You know, people think teachers and coaches should just volunteer their time all the time. As it is now, stipends for coaches are minimal, and teacher’s spend money out of their own pocket to do things for kids. So it was important to hire our local teachers and to pay them. I felt this was a nice way to give back to the teachers of the Pacific Grove community. Everything about this program is for Pacific Grove,” he oointed out. What is the one thing you would like to see each of the kids take with them from The WAVE Program? “I can’t say one thing. But it has to do with the intangibles. We’re not just turning them loose and letting them play. We’re old school. We believe kids want guidance, they want to be taught about discipline, how to be motivated, why you say please and thank you. When they go away I want them to think, ‘Hey, when I see a kid not as fortunate as me, maybe I’ll go shake his hand and be his friend next year.’ Things like that. We want to build our youth into outstanding citizens by developing respect, loyalty, sportsmanship, and a strong work ethic, while having lots of fun!”
By Michelle Netzloff
Respect. Loyalty. Sportsmanship. Fun. These values will be riding in on The WAVE Program, a new summer camp that is free to all PG kids age 1012. The WAVE Program launches this July with a goal to provide an active, healthy and positive camp experience for Pacific Grove youngsters. Executive Director Darryl Smith, who enjoyed a twenty-seven year professional career as a high school physical education teacher and distinguished collegiate coach, heads up the program. Darryl is known for his skill as a master motivator and his enthusiasm is tangible as he talks about the program. What is the WAVE Program? The WAVE Program is a three-week program for 5th, 6th and 7th graders that emphasizes sports, swimming, arts and dance. It’s designed specifically for the Pacific Grove community with a goal of promoting school pride and putting community pride back into high school through athletics. The program includes basketball, baseball/softball, flag football, volleyball, soccer, tennis, track and field, lacrosse, badminton, art, dance, music, swimming, and health/nutrition. Kids attend eight activities a day, each class is 45 minutes long, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. Every kid plays every sport. All coaches on staff are professional head coaches at Pacific Grove High. They’re great coaches and leaders. Photo of Erin Mullany-Scarborough and her son,Ian Scarborough (age 5) visiting from the Sacramento area. Ian loves visiting his Poppa, Jim Mullany who lives One of the advantages of having PGHS staff teach in this program is that kids in PG get to meet the coaches and their future mentors before they attend school there. And the coaches get to meet every 5th, 6th and 7th grader that’s going to be in the High School two years from now. Kids in the program also get to meet the high schoolers who are already playing on PGHS teams, so they get to know the athletes who actually play for the Breakers. “My hope is that program kids will say to their parents, ‘Hey Joey’s my friend and Joey has a baseball game tonight, I met the coach and I want to go watch.’ It’s all in perfect concert, a unique, one of a kind program.,” said Smith. How did the idea of the WAVE Program come about? Smith explained, “Well, a long time ago when I was head coach at Metro State College, I ran a program for the NCAA called NYSP ( National Youth Sports Program) in the Denver area. It was a non profit that served underprivileged youth, and we bussed over 600 kids into this summer sports program. Because of this experience, I wanted the On May 12, 2017, Monterey Fire recognized eight recruit firefighters for their WAVE Program to not exclude kids for completion of the Monterey Fire Department academy with a Badge Pinning Cere- any reason, I wanted all kids to mix.

Return to Japan: Students Participate in Critical Issues Forum The Critical Issues Forum (CIF) is a unique program of project-based education facilitated by
the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, at MIIS. The CIF program is designed to promote awareness of nonproliferation and disarmament issues as well as develop critical thinking skills among high school students from around the world, including the United States, Japan and Russia, through educational outreach activities. CIF develops appreciation and understanding of different national and cultural perspectives on complex but vital international security issues. Chosen this year to attend the Forum in Nagasaki, Japan, the site of one of the two atom bombs dropped on Japan to end World War II, were two students from Pacific Grove High School, Sarah Bitter and Ben Jankowski. Along with their teammates, Eric Cuellar (who travelled to Japan last December as part of the program), Juliana Heritage, Henry Loh, and Zeus Marquez, Sarah and Ben have been working hard on creating a presentation on this year’s conference topic: the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and its Role for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons. Besides delivering their own presentation, Ben and Sarah have the unique opportunity to hear the viewpoints on this topic of students from not only other American high schools, but also from schools in Japan and Russia. Conference participants also heard a keynote speech by the Executive Secretary of the international CTBT Organization (CTBTO), Lassina Zerbo. More than 50 representatives from governments and intergovernmental organizations, as well as research institutes, academia and non-governmental organizations participated in the Conference. During this, the 20th anniversary of the Critical Issues Forum, they stayed with host Japanese families and brought back a host of experiences to share with their fellow students. Preparatory to attending the forum, Sarah and Ben and their teammates began working last fall, talking about the issues they would be discussing in Japan. Both juniors, Sarah and Ben are now busy preparing for the senior year at Pacific Grove...and the rest of their lives. Sarah participates in Mock Trial, and says she loves reasoning and logic. She is considering a career as a lawyer, and said the CIF gives focus to her skills. Ben is interested in the technical aspects of projects. He is in AP studies, and looks to liberal arts, journalism, the plastic arts and sports. “If there’s any way to improve communications and to unite people toward bigger causes,” Ben wants to help find it. The students seek to raise awareness among the younger generations in order to move it forward. They began by sharing their experiences with family and friends, and then the school community. They want to teach the importance of knowing the dangers of nuclear weapons and sharing the importance of disarmament with the wider community. Sarah and Ben are part of an effort to show how effective diplomacy can be, and heard that government is not necessarily relevant to what they are trying to accomplish. They espouse an attitude of talking reasonably and not jumping to conclusions. “There is so much potential!” says Sarah. Adds Ben, “There really is hope.”

And They’re Always Glad You Came Jane Roland
Cultural exchange by local Marine with students in Okinawa, Japan
Other Random Thoughts We moved to the corner of Fountain and Central in February of 2010. As I mentioned previously the feat was accomplished by Pacific Grove Rotary Club assisted by the Interact group of high school students. Steve Covell and his band of “merry men” and women hauled the larger items in a truck. Others pushed clothing racks up the street. Everything was piled in the center of the floor and we started sorting. A gentleman, who was a friend of Charles Buskirk and whose name I have forgotten (I apologize for that), helped enormously. He ordered and transported from northern California many racks which are still being used. He set up his vision of how the store should look. Frank Quilantang finally had windows to design. Doc “Holliday” carved out an area for an office The cash register, and check out area was established in the front of the store. We all worked night and day. John Roland, a dedicated unpaid staff member and volunteer spent days shopping for needs. Mike Sheffer hauled items to Goodwill (or the dump). Michael Krokower, another Rotarian, owner of a carpet company donated a rug. We were up and running. It was about that time we picked up some new volunteers, Don Livermore and David Winter. David was retired from McGraw Hill and Don from teaching. Both were beloved in their respective fields. I don’t recall what menagerie Don had at the time. David had birds and was a dog walker for AFRP. Both settled in as if they had been there from the beginning. Olive Griffiths was an unheralded unpaid assistant manager. She worked many days a week. She and her husband, David, did more than I can say to acquire and process goods. Olive was a delight to have around. She had been a long-time employee at Holman’s and had a wealth of stories, told with her wry Welsh sense of humor. Don Livermore was and is “Mr. Party.” In his house of many stories he hosted events for every occasion of the year and invited everyone in his world, which included volunteer activities at the Lighthouse and Aquarium.He was a fixer and designer of items to sell and use. David Winter has a divine sense of humor, but subtle so it doesn’t first come across; such as coming in on April 1 “well, I just wanted to tell you that today is my last day.” He brought dogs by when he was walking for the Adoption Center. Little by little it came down to one pup: Bootsie, whom I have mentioned more than once. She was initially very shy, afraid that someone might touch her. Small wonder, she had been found on a road with two broken legs and a demeanor that indicated she had been severely abused. David adopted her and she came with him on his shifts, she even had her own name tag. Some of the people from those early days going back to the inception were: Faye Farrell, Susan Steele, Olive and David Griffiths, Grace Bemis, Lois Sawyer, Judy Fehily, Judy Weaver, Pat Stites, Martha Wilcox Michele Tubman, Mike and Karen Sheffer, Sigrid Stokes, Gabriele Swanson, Lucy Jean South, Jane Bennett, Cy Coburn, Georgeanna Adams, Marcia Napoli, Melissa Nonella and John Roland. (Lucy and Melissa were very young and festooned with tasteful body art. They were wonderful and loved. Lucy moved to San Francisco. Melissa was in high school, and moved away. The latter came back every time she was in town, most recently with Astro, her pup. She married and has just had a beautiful little girl.) Lillian Griffiths volunteered during school holidays and Steve Hauk appraised our art. Charles Buskirk assisted with maintenance, Doc Holiday contracting fantastic assemblages (with Frank). Gary Walter was the landlord, Kelly Lehrian the newest Executive Director of AFRP. Carie Broeker and Monica Rua had broken away and started Peace of Mind Dog Rescue. Why am I giving you these names? Because I want to create a history that otherwise will be forgotten. We always made certain that there were plenty of treats for our four and two legged customers and water for the former. Volunteers are the bread, butter and jam of organizations. In most cases, they work as hard or harder than they did at their former paying jobs. In our case, there simply were not that many people because of logistics. The store front was quite large. Doc and Frank built platforms in front on the windows for display of goods, especially art work and furniture. There were usually two people in front as well as me. Unfortunately, the work area was tiny and two people back there was generally one too many. Doc designed a rudimentary storage area, but it wasn’t sufficient. In those days I was full time, 32 hours a week, which meant I didn’t need to ask for overtime when I worked my usual 50 hours, at home or in the shop. Because of the limited work space and no sink in the shop we took many things home to clean and repair. John was a tax consultant but when it wasn’t the season he put in as much time as I and until the demise of the Treasure Shop as we knew it’ He did much of the shopping and hauling. We all stayed open if there were customers and opened as soon as we got there. Remember, a benefit shop is not a retail establishment. It is a cozy environment which can offer everyday items, but also collectibles and antiques. We were a popular “hangout” and those who came to visit stayed to shop. Larger and larger donations continued to arrive and were stuffed in, we were crammed to the gills, and making money. Kelly owned Posh Pets, just up the street and was suffering due to the Big Box pet stores. She closed her business and Gary Walter (our landlord), thinking her space would be good for the Treasure Shop, offered us affordable rent. So, we moved again in March 2011. We had lost Grace, Georgeanna, Lucy, Faye and Pat. The shop “where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came” had a new face.

The Marines gave presentations about American culture and military operations to Japanese college students from Okinawa City and Naha, Okinawa. Marines with III MEF Headquarters Group hosted the cultural exchange day to strengthen bonds between the local community and service members, providing the two communities with the opportunity to converse and learn about each other’s culture. Niewenhous, a native of Pacific Grove, California, is a graduate of California State University. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Tiffany Edwards) CAMP HANSEN, Okinawa, Japan – Marines and their family members joined 88 Okinawan students at the House of Pain Fitness Center, here, during the Okinawan-American Cultural Exchange Day, May 19. The students, from Nikkei College of Business, located in Okinawa City and Naha City, Okinawa, had 10 different booths with presentations about Okinawan and Japanese culture, music, language, arts, games and food. In return, Marines from III Marine Expeditionary Force taught the students about American culture, games, music, as well as types of military training Marines complete on base and around Okinawa. “The primary purpose of the event is to provide young Marines and their family members an opportunity to learn about Okinawa and Japan,” said Takayuki Kayo, a community relations specialist with III MEF Headquarters Group. “It also provides an opportunity for local nationals to
learn about who Marines are, emphasizing that they have a lot of things in common.” According to Kayo, this was the first time that college students from the Okinawan community have visited a Marine Corps base to give cultural presentations. “This cultural exchange gives the local students a chance to see what goes on behind the fences, whether with training or just a day in the life,” said Lance Cpl. John Clark, a field radio operator with 3rd Intelligence Battalion, III MEF. “These students don’t get many chances to see what goes on within American military bases.” Kayo said the event was a success and hopes Okinawan students and Marines come together in the future to make more cultural exchanges possible. “This is the first ever Okinawan-American Cultural Exchange Day and hopefully not the last,” Kayo said.

No Surprises Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.
Otter Views The smiley-face hacky sack man we’d been tossing around the apartment finally burst open last week, a scatter of tiny pebbles signaling his demise. His knit cotton face kept grinning, but his head grew emptier with each throw. “Brain embolism,” I diagnosed sadly. “He’s hemorrhaging gravel.” A closer inspection revealed structural damage far beyond my meager sewing ability, so Smiley took early retirement atop the refrigerator. “I’ll find another
one,” I promised. This was easier said than done. The search took me first to Target, which has a toy inventory Santa Claus would envy. Surely they’d have hacky sacks. But after wandering through two dozen aisles of movie-themed action figure play sets, the only indoor ball I could find was a plush “Pokemon Go” spheroid that wobbles in the air. Although safe for indoor play, the Poke-ball lacks the hacky-sack’s compact heft, pleasing flight characteristics and one-hand catch-ability. Soon it also retired atop the refrigerator. “Keep looking,” my throwing partner urged. “There were a million hacky-sacks back in the day. Try the thrift stores.” Most resale shops have a toy section, or at least a toy bin of some sort. I hit six area thrift stores and combed through their toy bins, but to no avail. “Nada,” I reported. “Maybe the hacky-sack thing has come and gone?” “Could be,” she mused. “It’s probably all smart phone apps now.” The notion of toy fads got me thinking about a curious little item from yesteryear called a Pop Ball. For readers who somehow missed this short-lived “scientific energy toy,” the Pop Ball was a rubber disc about the size of a lemon half. It had no moving parts, but it could rocket into the air simply by being inverted and placed or dropped onto a flat surface. I first saw one during lunch recess at a high school where I taught. Two boys crouched in the hallway face-to-face. I thought a fight was imminent, but the boys were smiling. As I approached, there was a sharp “pop” on the ground at the feet, and a little blue disc shot up between them like a champagne cork. Both guys had lightning reflexes, and one managed to snag the thing in mid-flight while the other snatched air. The victor turned the disc inside-out and placed it on the ground again. Then the two waited, crouched and laughing, for the next pop. “Rad!” I remember thinking in the slang of the day. For something so small and simple, Pop Ball had all sorts of spunky attributes: flight, speed, sound, surprise, portability and durability, and all for $2.99. It also had enough nuisance value to join such novelty store war horses as the handshake buzzer, Whoopee Cushion and “black eye” kaleidoscope. One could put to mischievous use a toy hidden in the hand that could then rocket into the air a few moments after placement. For instance, imagine sitting across from your friend who’s just been served blueberry pancakes. He’s spread his butter, dusted his plate with powdered sugar, and has the syrup jug poised. “Dude!!” you gasp, pointing behind him. “Check that spider!!” As he whirls around, you slip the Pop Ball beneath the top pancake. “Where?” he asks suspiciously. “It ran away.” He tilts the syrup jug and starts forming the sweet, sticky spiral characteristic of pancake eaters. Then – “pop!” – a rubber disc rips through the pancake, spraying your amazed friend with syrup and warm pulp. It’s a sort of a gustatory take on that scene from “Alien.” No? OK, how about in the operating room. Your co-surgeon has made the major incision, exposing the duodenum and the thoracic cavity. She turns to read the vital signs monitor, which displays a comforting green sine wave. You slip a sterilized Pop Ball beneath the pancreas and stand back, grinning expectantly behind your mask. Too unprofessional? Yes, I agree. It may be that Pop Ball’s mischief-making potential overshadowed its value as a plaything, because I didn’t see any Pop Balls last week in the toy aisles at Target. I am happy to report, though, some hacky sacks finally showed up. We spotted a dozen of them in a fishbowl on the checkout counter at the Big 5 sporting goods store in Monterey. These hacky sacks were smaller and lighter than the late lamented Smiley, but they were stitched from brightly colored cotton. The labels said “Made in Guatemala.” We tossed each one back and forth in the store, contrasting heft, flight characteristics and one-hand catch-ability. The other customers were only faintly amused. At length we settled on a multi-colored one boasting the bright, hippie-looking spiral design found on a million tie-dyed t-shirts. “That’s the Mandelbrot set,” I pointed out. “Good, now let’s see you catch it.”
Planning for Each Generation One of the most common complaints about lawyers and their billing practices is the unpredictability of their fees. Nobody wants to be nervous about the lawyer’s bill coming in the mail and having to wonder what the “damage” is for the month. The traditional law firm model of billing by the hour creates this uncertainty. The question from the client, “How long do you think it will take?” is really a question of “How much will this cost?” From the attorney’s perspective, the answer to that question is, “As long as is necessary.” That response is not comforting to the client because there appears to be no limit as to what the final cost might be. The client has no way to budget for the expense or to judge ahead of time as to whether the service the attorney is to provide will be worth the total fees that will be billed. The billable hour method also creates a perverse dynamic. The attorney is actually incentivized to be as inefficient as possible. On the other hand, the client attempts to “over-correct” by insisting upon a “rush job,” which when dealing with complex legal issues leads to mistakes that can have dire consequences. While simple yet complete solutions are desirable, cutting corners is never a good idea in the legal profession. Another aspect of the billable hour method that does not make sense is the arbitrary value placed on an hour of the attorney’s time. Some attorneys bill under $300 an hour while other attorneys bill in excess of $700 an hour depending upon the experience of the attorney, the practice area, and the particular community. These variable hourly rates undermine the notion that billing by the number of hours spent on a project creates an objective standard of value given to the client.
Finally, the concept that clients buy time from attorneys is misguided. If an attorney at an hourly rate of $400 spends three hours trying to develop a solution to a client’s problem but falls short, is the value of that project really $1,200? Imagine the attorney saying to the client: “Well, I spent three hours trying to find the solution to your problem but couldn’t figure anything out so you’re back to square one. But, you owe me $1,200.” If the client is just purchasing time, then that makes sense. However, if the client is purchasing a solution, then the client does not owe the attorney anything. Similarly, if the attorney found a solution that was worth $1,200, it shouldn’t matter whether it took the attorney three hours, one hour, or six hours! Another aspect of the billable hour that is frustrating for both clients and attorneys is the need to track time. Most law firms bill in six-minute increments: 0.1 represents six minutes; 0.2 represents twelve minutes; 0.3 represents eighteen minutes, and so on. It actually takes a lot of time for attorneys to have to track their days in six-minute increments! Furthermore, it feels to the client like the attorney is nickel and diming them when their bill has a series of entries such as: “0.1 – Clicked open email; 0.1 – Listened to voicemail message . . .” Because of these problems with the traditional billable hour, there has been a trend over the past several years for law firms to move toward a flat fee, “value-based” method of billing. First, flat fees allow there to be a certainty of cost for the client. There are no surprises or worries about how much the next bill will be. Second, flat fees allow for a collaborative approach between the client and the attorney. Both parties can relax

The Appraisal
PKRASA From Page 13
about how much time they are spending and can devote their efforts to the work at hand. If the attorney feels that some extra steps should be taken or that there should be additional meetings or phone calls, the client is not wondering whether the attorney is just trying to “run-up” the meter. Third, the attorney is able to spend as long as is necessary on a particular project, but is also incentivized to create efficiencies and to help the client in a timely manner. Fourth, the attorney is likely to be motivated to demonstrate value in each step of every project so that the client can feel that the fee charged is worth the service provided. Fifth, the focus of a flat fee billing arrangement allows both the client and the attorney to focus on the value of the services provided rather than the time spent. Finally, the attorney does not have to spend unnecessary time and effort on tracking each day in six-minute increments and the client doesn’t have to be bombarded with monthly bills listing every microscopic expenditure of energy on the client’s project. Flat fee billing does not work in every scenario, but it should be employed more often. The vast majority of the time, both the client and the attorney appreciate the benefits of flat fee billing and much prefer it to the traditional billable hour.

Local Real Estate Update There are few things that can confuse the home buyer more, and seller for that matter, then the subject of the appraisal. This is a word that can strike fear in the most seasoned Realtor. A Realtor that has done enough deals has had one scuttled by the appraisal. The appraisal itself is just one step in the home buying/selling process. However, it can be called a rate limiting step. To appraise is defined as to estimate the value or price of or to make a considered judgement about. When something is being sold the value of it needs to be determined. For most items we buy, the value or price is determined before we buy it and we just pay what is asked. However, there are certain items, mainly higher priced items, that have specialists, called appraisers, who help determine the value. This happens with cars, jewelry, and most importantly homes. A home appraiser is a highly trained and licensed individual who has to undergo continuing education in order to stay licensed. The appraiser prepares and submits an appraisal report, which is an unbiased report on the value of the real estate in question. An appraisal report is required when a buyer is getting a loan to purchase a property. The appraisal is supposed to ensure that home buyer and lender are getting the true value of the property. The buyer does not want to over pay for a
home and the lender does not want to loan money on a home that is not worth as much as it is selling for. The appraiser will perform a home inspection prior to writing the report. However, it is different from the other types of home inspections. The appraiser’s inspection is about value, not about any needed repairs, unless it is a VA appraisal and then they will call out needed repairs before the home can pass. The appraiser will measure the home, examine the neighborhood, and check all the major systems and structures of the home. The appraiser will then take a look at homes that have sold nearby to get an idea of what the comparable sales have been in order to determine the value of the home he/ she is examining. This is where it can get tricky, especially in a market where prices are going up fast…like ours. The financial crisis of the great recession led to the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act which changed the way appraisals are ordered. The lender cannot have direct contact or influence the appraiser. Many lenders now find appraisers through appraiser management companies to keep the independence of the individual appraiser. We will continue to examine the appraisal process in the next episode. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions. Patrick.ryan@sothebyshomes.com 831-238-8661
Want to Create Wealth? This is one way to do it
Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors
Market Matters Source: Fresno Bee In an opinion piece in the Fresno Bee, C.A.R. 2018 President-elect Jared Martin explains why Congress must provide a tax incentive for renters to become homeowners. When Congress created a tax incentive to own a home more than 100 years ago, they understood the value of homeownership in creating and sustaining communities, promoting social stability, fostering educational opportunities, and building wealth. Owning a home is one of the best ways to build long-term wealth, providing both equity accumulation and tax benefits over time. In 2013, the median net worth of homeowner families was $195,400, while the median net worth of renters was $5,400, according to the Federal Reserve. Minorities struggling to get on the housing ladder will also find themselves at a disadvantage, further widening the wealth gap. Homeownership strengthens communities, encourages higher civic par-
ticipation, boosts children’s educational performance, lowers crime rates, and improves health-care outcomes. Moreover, homeowners bring more stability to neighborhoods because they tend to move less often. Homeownership helps provide predictability. Individuals can enjoy steady and consistent housing costs thanks to the tax incentive that allows them to own a home. That’s because a fixed-rate mortgage payment might not change for 15 to 30 years, while rents typically increase 2 to 3 percent a year. The deduction of state and local taxes (such as property taxes) prevents double taxation. You as a taxpayer do not enjoy the use of money paid to state and local taxes. Therefore, the federal government allows you to deduct these from your federal income taxes. Eliminating this benefit will penalize California more than other states because of our high home prices and high tax rates.

Welcome to Tillie Gort’s Cafe Keepers of our Culture Guest Columnist: Joyce Day Meuse
Local Favorite Since 1969… Old Gort would like to express his appreciation toward each and every one of the astonishing variety of our customers. The young, the wise, people of the business world, followers of the spirit, family folk and loners, grandmothers, musicians, carpenters, students and teachers, working folk, those just passing through, and the perennial “regulars,” whose loyalty keeps us alive during the slow times… We all share one thing in common… The love of good food and good company in a comfortable atmosphere. —Rosie 1976, tilliegortscafe.com After I had my second child in Pacific Grove it was time for me to get a job. I had been to Tillie Gort’s Café at 111 Central Avenue. All the folks that worked there seemed so cool to me. I went back a number of times to beg for a waitress job from Steve, one of the owners. He finally relented and I got the job, which lasted for nine years. Each shift crew consisted of the cook, the backup,—who did dishes as well as food prep—and two wait staff. Our customers were mostly locals who came in regularly for lunches and dinners. Some folks came in daily for a cup of coffee and small talk. I remember when the people who began the Monterey Bay Aquarium would often come in for lunch, as well as the people from across the street who worked at Digital Research, an early computer company. Our opinionated cook had nothing but disdain for the computer geeks. Soup Maker and Baker Eventually I became one of the soup makers Tillie Gort’s 1979 and bakers who could earn extra money aside from our wait shifts. We had a special vegetarian soup made fresh every day. The daily special was a half sandwich with a cup of soup. There were a number of us who got paid to make the huge pot of soup, then put up a colorful sign on a paper plate and post it for our customers. A few of us also made Black Bottom Cupcakes, Jager Pie, No-Meat Loaf, and the wonderful Annie Laurie’s Shortbread. I loved the homemade cheesecakes that Arlis would make. Lifelong Friends There were many characters who worked there and many became lifelong friends. We had daily fights over what music would be played in both the dining rooms and kitchen. Usually, the cook had his or her way. After work at night when we did cleanup and put the restaurant to bed we played upbeat and pretty loud music. All of the crew would join together in a trash can train the night before pick-up. The owners had made a list of duties for the wait staff on poster board in the kitchen. You would go down the list of things to do before opening, and after closing. The staff was free to trade shifts as long as our days were covered. We had wonderful Christmas parties hosted by the owners—who gave each a Christmas bonus. A local photographer and sometimes employee, John McCleary, would take an annual photo in front of the restaurant. Many of the photos are still displayed on the walls at Tillie’s. Those of us who worked and came to eat at Tillie’s made a wonderful heart connection that has continued into the present. Many of us still gather Tillie Gort’s 1983 on Thanksgiving Day for an annual get together. We all still feel like an extended family. Looking back on my life, working at Tillie’s was the best job I ever had. of you I extend the deadline to June 15.

Panetta Lecture Series Offers Third Event for 2017
Third Event in Leon Panetta 2017 Lecture Series to Feature Donna Brazile, David Gergen and William Kristol in a discussion on Our Democracy – Parties, Politics and Governing Secretary Leon E. Panetta to Moderate The twentieth annual Leon Panetta Lecture Series, The Trump Presidency and the Future of America, continues Monday evening, May 29, at the Sunset Cultural Center in Carmel at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available and can be purchased by calling the Panetta Institute at 831-582-4200. Secretary Leon Panetta will moderate this discussion. The third forum will focus on Our Democracy – Parties, Politics and Governing. Speaking with Secretary Panetta on the topic will be Donna Brazile, former chair of the Democratic National Committee; David Gergen, senior political analyst for CNN and former presidential advisor; and William Kristol, founder and editor-at-large for The Weekly Standard and political analyst for ABC News. “As the nation reacts to a growing series of crises facing the president, our democracy is being tested. Can our institutions and our elected leaders meet the challenges facing our nation?” remarked Institute chairman Leon E. Panetta. “I’ll pose these questions to three experts who have seen our system in action from inside the White House, presidential campaigns, party politics and journalism.” Donna Brazile has more than 30 years experience in politics and has worked on every presidential campaign from 1976 to 2000. Ms. Brazile worked for Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaign in 1984. In 1988, she went on to serve as field director for Dick Gephardt’s presidential primary run before moving on to a job in Michael Dukakis’ general election campaign. In 1999, she was named campaign manager for the Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign, becoming the first African-American to manage a presidential campaign. Ms. Brazile is former vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the former chair of the DNC’s Voting Rights Institute. She assumed the role of interim chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2016. The author of the bestselling memoir, Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots in American Politics, Ms. Brazile has appeared on CNN’s Inside Politics and Crossfire. She has been a regular contributor for ABC’s This Week, a columnist for Roll Call and a contributing writer for Ms. Magazine. In 2009, O, The Oprah Magazine, chose Ms. Brazile as one of its 20 “remarkable visionaries.” In addition, she was named among the “100 Most Powerful Women” by Washingtonian magazine, “Top 50 Women in America” by Essence magazine, and received the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s highest award for political achievement. In 2016, Ms. Brazile was awarded Wonk of the Year by the Kennedy Political Union at American University. Ms. Brazile earned her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. David Gergen has served as a trusted advisor to four presidents and to both political parties and offers bipartisan analysis of the key political issues of the day. A United States Navy veteran, Mr. Gergen’s political career began in the early 1970s, when he joined the Nixon administration first as an assistant speechwriter and later as chief speechwriter. He served in the Ford administration as director of communications and was later a member of the Reagan administration’s communications team, where he was eventually named assistant to the president for communications. In 1993, Mr. Gergen agreed to serve as a counselor to President Clinton on both domestic and foreign affairs, eventually becoming a special international advisor to the president and to Secretary of State Warren Christopher. He wrote about those experiences in his 2001 New York Times best-seller, Eyewitness to Power: The Essence of Leadership, Nixon to Clinton. In the 1980s, Mr. Gergen began a career in journalism. Starting with The MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour in 1984, he has been a regular commentator on public affairs for more than 30 years. He has twice been a member of election coverage teams that won Peabody awards, and he has contributed to two Emmy award-winning political analysis teams. Mr. Gergen is a professor of public service and co-director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. In addition, he serves as a senior political analyst for CNN. Mr. Gergen has a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. William Kristol serves as political analyst for ABC News and editor of the influential Washington-based political magazine, The Weekly Standard, and is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading political analysts and one of the most influential conservatives in Washington. From 1979 to 1983, Mr. Kristol worked in the department of political science at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1983, he joined the faculty of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Mr. Kristol came to Washington in 1985 to join the Reagan administration first as chief of staff to Education Secretary William J. Bennett and then as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle. A savvy political strategist, he chaired the Project for the Republican Future where he helped shape the 1994 Republican congressional victory. Mr. Kristol has also played a major role in the debate on American foreign policy since September 11, and was the co-author of The New York Times best-seller, The War Over Iraq: Saddam’s Tyranny and America’s Mission. Mr. Kristol is a regular on ABC's This Week and on ABC's special events and election coverage, and also appears frequently on other leading political commentary programs including CNN's Crossfire, MSNBC's Morning Joe and FOX's Special Report.

The NIMBY Syndrome: Part Two
Beware of Turning Vigilante with the Homeless
Following a question posted on Seaside/Sand City’s Next Door online network, group resistance to homeless neighbors has overtly increased at Seaside and Monterey City Council meetings. Will such tangible action force cities to overturn “Not In My Back Yard” attitudes in order to provide emergency-and-homeless shelters on the Monterey Peninsula? Using initials to protect participants’ privacy, I’ll share a few highlights of discontent that started with this post. Case of the south side’s missing owner January 23, 2017--CB from Del Rey Oaks asked: “Does anyone know the story about the person who now has a lot of miscellaneous/camping items across from the Safeway in Del Rey Oaks? I drove by this morning and was pretty shocked to see a large pile of items. Is that now allowed? “ I scoped out the Fremont-Canyon Del Rey intersection during pouring rain and spotted a loaded shopping cart on the culvert above Laguna Grande Park’s indigenous plants garden. With the cart were several black plastic trash bags, a bicycle, and one drenched woman desperately struggling to cover shield herself against the stinging cold with a plastic tarp. Circling the block to get a second look took 5-7-minutes. When I returned, the owner was gone but her possessions remained abandoned for days. Finally, a metal “No Walking Allowed” sign replaced the pile and became a deterrent to foot traffic crossing beyond the sidewalk’s end on the Seaside side of the park. March 9, 2017: CP from Del Monte Grove Laguna Grande commented: “If you look closer, the trash that you could see across from Safeway is now all down in the culvert on the City of Monterey side. It is a horrible mess. The creek also has lots of trash in it.” Case of the north side’s unwelcome neighbors The online discussions raised responses from residents in the upscale Seaside Highlands area.

Homeless in Paradise
Is he welcome in your back yard? Developed on former Fort Ord land near the Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Course, Seaside Highlands’ mostly Mediterranean two-story homes range from $750,000 to $1 million. The homeless who camp on the outskirts of Seaside‘s answer to Pebble Beach are highly unwelcome in their cheap tents and tattered clothes. February 18, 2017: EF from Seaside Highlands posted: “… Who owns the land just off Monterey Rd. between the road and the high school? In recent weeks I’ve seen
several full shopping carts in the bushes and younger/later teens to early-twenties homeless people hanging out in the area. Looks like a camp area is forming. It should be checked out before it becomes more permanent. Is that Seaside land. Highlands Homeowners Association? High school property ? Who should I call to check it out? “ An ad hoc committee formed as BL of Seaside Highlands assumed leadership, admonishing against homeless abridgment of their rights of common decency by def-
The Carmel Foundation to present Boomer humor with Will Durst and Richard Stockton

Will Durst brings his “BoomeRaging: From LSD to OMG” is a tribute to the history, growth, joys, achievements and looming terrors of the Baby Boom Generation in today’s youth obsessed society. Comedian and musician Richard Stockton will open the show, bringing a musical component to the boomer trip down memory lane, taking us from Hi-Fi to Wi-Fi, from Oxford shoes to orthopedics, from hippy to hip replacement, from the senior prom to the senior… uh… whatever.

ecating and urinating on public and private property, and suggesting all distressed parties contact local law enforcement agencies in crisis situations. Reports increased, including those that told of a homeless peeping tom in a tree, a young blond man who looked like a Goth, and a man who rode a bicycle and stared people down. I posted my own thoughts that included advocating for public facilities in which such people can bathe and perform other acts of nature. . . . It’s like the wealthy man who felt empathy for the street people, so opened his home and invited them in. They trashed the place. Beware of becoming a Vigilante Burgeoning grassroots public resistance is a positive sign democracy is working. However, is there a point at which well-intentioned volunteers can become unintended vigilantes? Yes! A vigilante, as defined by Wikipedia, is: a civilian or organization acting in a law enforcement capacity (or in the pursuit of self-perceived justice) without legal authority. At the Seaside City Council meeting on May 4, 2017, BL said that on May 3 he and several others dismantled a homeless campsite under the bridge near Seaside Highlands. “It was a fairly elaborate building with 1-1/2 inch thick doors…” Inside, along with clothes and bedding, were food and even toilet paper. “There were people watching us. We found, on the city and high school side, camps and people in them.” Did those who destroyed the homeless person’s shelter act like self-appointed storm troopers? Or was the dismantling done with judicious cooperation of law enforcement authorities? In America, it is best to err on the side of justice than make a mistake from which you might never recover. If a homeless person you don’t want in your own backyard enters your life, don’t take the law into your own hands. Call the police.
