Harbor seal pupping is nearing an end for this year with only a few pregnant seals still resting on Pacific Grove beaches. There
will still be plenty to see for the next few weeks as a few dozen pups are still nursing, taking swimming lessons from their moms and frolicking around. Several others are already weaned and on their own, but still hanging around their birth places. This has been an OK year for the seals and their pups – not a great year, but not a bad one either. Overall there have been fewer births than any other year in the past decade, but the fewer births have produced a higher percentage of healthy pups than we’ve seen in the past few years. Most of this year’s pups were full-term and have been nursing well, gaining baby fat and weaning on schedule. Right now there are about 60 seal pups on the beaches – 15 of them born in the 5th Street Cove next to Berwick Park, the others on the bigger beach at Hopkins Marine Station. The overall population of harbor seals along the Monterey Peninsula dropped by about a third in 2015, 2016 and 2017 as the warmer ocean water reduced the food supply for near-shore animals, And some pregnant seals were notably thin this year but most were robust and healthy and able to give their pups plenty of milk without having to leave them for interim feed-

ing. Only a few pups were abandoned by moms too undernourished or frightened to stay with them. Most of the newborns are weaned before moms leave the beaches to feed themselves and get started on next year’s pup. The weaned pups tend to stay on their birth beaches indefinitely, crying the first few days for mom to come back then buddying with other newbies to form little weaner groups. They will explore the beaches and rocks in their 15-mile range from Stillwater Cove in Pebble Beach to Breakwater Cove in Monterey as they learn to fish and feed
themselves. The babies and moms won’t stay together because of different swimming and hunting abilities, but when their paths cross they will know each other by their unique sounds and smells. Of the 50 weaned on the Hopkins beaches in 2017, about 30 of them are still seen regularly at the harbor seal gathering spots. There could be even more 2018 pups joining them. While there have been some disturbances this year – four illegal drones over the past weekend, a few dozen

Almost daily, locals come by the newspaper office and ask about the progress across the street at 301 Grand Avenue. We have watched the building for years and are anxious to see something decent constructed on the site. Notice given the tenants of the failing building at 301 Grand Avenue in Pacific Grove in December, 2017, stated that the structure is “unsafe, unfit for human occupancy and potentially dangerous” due to: • lack of a proper foundation • decay of exterior surfaces to
Pacific Grove Announces Shoreline Management Plan
City launches initiative to protect public access
The City of Pacific Grove has launched an initiative aimed at protecting and enhancing the area’s beautiful coastline. Pacific Grove’s shoreline is home to parks, trails, wildlife, stunning views, and attractive beaches. At the same time, it faces a number of challenges, including continual erosion from winter storms and other natural processes. To address these issues, the City of Pacific Grove has just launched the Pacific Grove Shoreline Management Plan. The plan will look at ways to protect public access along the shoreline for years to come while enhancing the area’s natural and cultural resources. “The plan will examine challenges and opportunities, then recommend strategies to protect and improve those things that make the City’s shoreline such a special place,” explained Daniel Gho, the City’s Public Works Director. For this project, the City of Pacific Grove has partnered with Eisen | Letunic, a Bay Area planning firm specializing in healthy environments and sustainable, livable communities. The firm’s clients have included the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the City and County of San Francisco, the City of Oakland, Caltrans, and the Transportation Agency for Monterey County. Opportunities for the public to participate will begin later this summer and fall and will include community workshops, presentations, surveys and an online map for posting comments. As the Pacific Grove Shoreline Management Plan develops further, updates will be available at PGshoreline.org, on the City of Pacific Grove’s website, and on the City’s social media accounts.

From Page 2 the point where water enters the building • structural members are not properly maintained and are in a deteriorated condition • there are no occupancy separations as required. The notice came as a result of an engineering report which was required as a result of an application to establish short term rentals on the property. The owner suggested increasing the habitable units on the second story to five or seven from the current three. The new plan calls for eight apart-
ments, none of which will be low-income, on the second story. There are plans for six commercial slots on the street level, one of which will be the new owner’s dental office. There were no water concessions, Despite rumors, there will be no restaurant on the premises. After the tenants were vacated, demolition began. Electrical work was done to protect surrounding properties and a backhoe was brought in to knock down edifices. It took about a week.
people going behind the protective fences, one man walking across a beach and scattering the seals on it, and some kayaks coming too close and causing frightened seals to flee – there seem to have been fewer intrusions than in past years. Windy weather may have helped reduce crowds on the rec trail and on the water. Better fencing was effective. Trained docents and scores of harbor seal fans were vigilant. And police responded in time to talk with some violators. Photos by Kim Akeman

Pet Hiking Tools and Tips Diana L. Guerrero
Ask ARK Lady Pet hiking hazards can be worrisome but a little bit of preparation can go a long way. Remember to closely monitor your pup when out on the trail and to research hazards in advance of your adventure. Natural hazards include foxtails, spiky seeds or painful spines depending on the location. Wilderness areas such as the desert or mountain trails are particularly risky with things that can lodge in paws or into the skin. Beach areas might mean encounters with jelly fish stingers or hungry fleas. Other annoyances such as ticks, mosquitoes and other pests can pose hazards to a pet’s health. The good news is that when the cold weather hits most of the other bugs disappear or become inactive. Snakes are less prominent when the weather cools down, too. Even so, remember to keep pets on the trail, out of the brush and prevent them from investigating under boulders to avoid snake bites. Plan the best outdoor adventures by packing a few pet essentials such as: Leash & ID Tags Believe it or not, one of the most important pet safety tools is a leash. Public trails commonly enforce leash laws. Adhering to those rules keeps animals from straying off the trail where they can be at risk for predators. It also prevents pets from venturing too close to the edge of cliffs where they can slip, trip or fall. ID tags should be current and if you are traveling. It is a good idea to use a temporary ID that contains the numbers of friends or to the accommodations where you are staying. Taking a current photo of your dog on your cell phone is another tip in case your animal gets lost. Water Containers & Water In many areas, such as the mountains or the desert, it is very arid and so it is critical to keep your animal hydrated. There are a variety of collapsible bowls available but also special attachments for your pet’s water bottle so the dog can drink water directly from it. Packing water is the best option since streams and ponds can have harmful bacteria and parasites. Poop Bags For the health of both wildlife and other pets, you should still pack out pet poop or bury any feces. Unfortunately, a lot of people are ignorant about this and so many wild animals suffer from diseases because they were passed to the population by dogs or cats who are allowed to roam or eliminate without anyone cleaning up after them.
Accessories There are some great accessories to help you on the trail. For instance, reflective vests and cooling collars can help keep dogs safe and cool in the summer. Dog jackets and booties help during colder weather. Add bear alert bells and pet insect repellent too. Be sure to consider dog saddle packs so pets can carry their own supplies but remember, a pet pack should be less than 20 percent of the dog’s body weight. Finally, have a great time! Questions?

Webster Slate Maybe suspect will rent timeshare in jail Suspicious Circumstances\ Laurel Ave – It has been reported that an unknown party has been renting out her rental property online. There is suspect information available to the public. She should have a license for all the vowels in her name David Ave. – Ms. Hemo Mamakoula was cited for driving without a license. Good luck! Pine Ave. – A citizen came into PGPD to report he lost his property in Pacific Grove. His information was gathered. No further information. Wait for it... Alarm \ Lighthouse Ave. - Residence was checked. All exterior doors were secure. No response available for contact. Alarm card was left for unregistered alarm. Commentary – Why do you have an alarm in the first place? So that if your place needs protection from an intruder or worse, someone will come and help. Now, who do you think that is going to be?-Little old Aunt Tilly next door with her knitting needles? -The darling young couple down the street and their two babies? -Do you expect that when the alarm sounds someone will do what?-Call the Police. What do the alarm companies actually do? Why are the Police the last to know but expected to be first on the scene? I will try to figure out why alarms are not registered. It’s worth noting that yet again, with a deadline looming; I call our PGPD for answers and guess what. They are absolutely swamped this morning. What they are doing is inherently more important for our community, than demystifying all things alarm card for me at this moment. So I lead by example. People, please try not to underutilize their time. This officer is in the running to receive Pacific Grove’s - Tow-nie Award! Congress Ave. – Observed vehicle parked on Congress Ave. Registration expired over 6 months. Towed. 4/30 Strike up the band Central Ave. – Non injury accident between moving and parked car.

This week’s Chicken Sh&t Award goes to… Light House Ave. – Theft of two outside tables that belonged to a restaurant. Continued below: Remember a couple of weeks ago when there was a BBQ and two chaise longues stolen from two different front porches? I suggested this would continue. Alas it has. Can these ill-gotten gains be going to a local, I’ll guess; backyard? What’s next for this cunning thief, a fountain? Lighthouse Ave. – Victim reported plants and lawn sculptures stolen from her front yard. No suspect information. Lost and found. Great work people. Lighthouse Ave. – A wallet was found and turned into PGPD. The owner was notified.

Carmel has dozens of fine restaurants; a hundred art galleries, and more inns and hotels than you can count; but it has only one samurai. Taum Dell’Armo has been a Carmel resident for over 12 years. He was born and raised in the South Bronx, New York, so you might say he was familiar with dangerous weapons from an early age. Attracted to Martial Arts and Eastern philosophy in his teens, Taum has trained in five different disciplines; Karate, Judo, Aikido (Eye-Key-Doough), Tai-Chi, and most recently, Iaido (Eee-eye-dough), the art of the samurai sword. This is the second rarest of the Japanese Martial Arts and is seldom taught outside of Japan. The goal of Iaido is to combine Zen movement-meditation with the wielding of this ancient and elegant weapon. Taum’s life-long dream of studying this ancient discipline was fulfilled when he moved to the Monterey Peninsula and found a sensei (teacher) who taught Iai-jutse, known as the combative art of the sword. In the past few years Taum has moved on to a deeper, focused study called Zen Ken Ichi (the oneness of Zen with the sword). Come learn a little of the history of Samurai, the uniqueness of their swords and why tradition considers this elegant weapon an extension of the “soul of the samurai.”

While the SPCA is known for their work sheltering dogs, cats, horses and other critters, they also play a critical role in local disaster response and in helping our local wildlife. The SPCA Wildlife Center is the only full service wildlife rehabilitation center serving Monterey County. They operate under permits from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Each year the SPCA Wildlife Center admits over 3,000 animals for treatment and care. The species of animals ranges from large animals such as bobcats, deer, opossums, hawks, owls, and pelicans to small animals including squirrels, hummingbirds and songbirds. Come learn about the work the Wildlife Center staff does from saving entangled seabirds to nursing orphaned baby mammals back to health for release into the wild. Rosanna Leighton has a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from UC Santa Barbara and has been with the SPCA for eight years.

Protecting Your Intent Into the Future Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.
Planning for Each Generation Creating an effective estate plan that carries out your wishes years into the future is challenging. Over time, laws, legal strategies, and the circumstances of beneficiaries can dramatically change. Typically, an estate plan centered upon a living trust will remain revocable by the trust-maker as long as the trust-maker is living and has mental capacity. As such, it is important to review your estate plan on a regular basis with a competent attorney to make sure that your plan is still effective. However, what happens when you are no longer able to keep your estate plan current by making adjustments to it due to your incapacity or death? Is there any way to ensure that your estate plan can navigate unforeseen change in the future? The Trust Protector Concept: One of the most effective mechanisms for ensuring that your estate plan stays current and navigates changes in law, changes in legal strategies, and changes in the circumstances of beneficiaries is to include provisions for a “Trust Protector.” According to a popular California legal practice manual: Trust protectors serve as the watchful eyes over an irrevocable trust. Trust protectors can be granted, among other important powers, the power to amend an individual’s estate plan. For example, a trust protector can be granted the power to make administrative changes to a trust, such as changes to the procedures for the removal and appointment of trustees or changes to trustee investment provisions. A [trust-maker] may also allow a trust protector to make substantive changes to trust terms to address changes in tax laws or other legal, financial, or familial circumstances that may impact the trust.

Poetry n 1970 the Kent State shooting took 4 lives of young college students. We are now in 2018 and the shootings continue The following poem was composed by me in 1979 shortly after the shooting at Kent State. Sadly this poem is still appropriate today: What is this senseless dying Of four lives and now one more? When will we see the end coming Of this tragic, silent war?
Communities come together. Our hearts reach out and say, “What is the best thing we can do To make it all okay?”
Each circumstance is different But the results are still the same. How can we heal the sorrow And ease the loved one’s pain?
It can NEVER be accepted! Our tolerance must end! What is this senseless dying? What message does it send?
It happens all too often, This loss of innocent lives And when the story is covered It’s then we realize

Trust Protector Law: Few states have written statutes that address the concept of Trust Protectors. Nevada, Delaware, and Alaska are three states that have the most statutory authority on this effective estate planning tool. However, regardless of whether a state specifically acknowledges the implementation of the Trust Protector concept, a trust drafted in almost any state – including California – may incorporate Trust Protector provisions. Powers of Trust Protector: A Trust Protector can be given numerous powers to ensure that an estate plan remains current and effective in carrying out your intent long after you have become mentally incapacitated or passed away. The Nevada Trust Protector statute (Nev Rev Stat §163.5553) serves as an excellent overview of the many types of powers that may be granted to a Trust Protector which include: • Modify or amend the instrument to achieve a more favorable tax status or to respond to changes in federal or state law; • Remove and appoint a trustee, trust adviser, investment committee member, or distribution committee member; • Terminate the trust; • Direct or veto trust distributions; • Change the location or governing law of the trust; • Interpret terms of the instrument at the request of the trustee; and • Review and approve a trustee’s reports or accounting. A Trust Protector can be granted all of the aforementioned powers or just a few of these powers. When deciding what kinds of powers to grant to the Trust Protector, it is important to balance the interest in adding flexibility to the trust while at the same time preserving your overall intent. Appointment of Trust Protector: There are numerous methods for appointing a Trust Protector. First, when creating the trust initially, you can name a Trust Protector. However, it is often difficult enough to name successor financial fiduciaries, health care agents, and guardians for minor children and adding one more category of responsible individuals to act on your behalf might be too onerous. Another method for appointing a Trust Protector would be to allow third parties, such as the beneficiaries of the trust or a trusted advisor such as your CPA or your attorney, to appoint a Trust Protector when needed. Trust Purpose – The “Big Picture”: The Trust Protector has a responsibility to exercise his/her powers in a manner that is consistent with your estate planning objectives. As a result, it is a good idea to provide the Trust Protector with guidance as to the overall purpose of your trust. For example, the trust purpose might state: “The material purpose of this trust is to provide an effective mechanism for the management and distribution of trust assets in the event of incapacity or death while avoiding court intervention whenever possible.” Conclusion: As the law becomes more complicated and less predictable, it is becoming increasingly important to build as any “off-ramps” and “on-ramps” into your estate plan as possible. Incorporating the Trust Protector concept is one of the most effective tools to accomplish this goal.

States move to Ban Youth Football
California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York have moved to ban youth tackle football due to increasing concerns over permanent brain damage. In a statement California lawmaker Gonzalez Fletcher, (D) San Diego, author of a bill to ban tackle football for youth said “The science is clear: head injuries sustained at a young age can harm kids for the rest of their lives.” A new report in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA Neurology May 7, 2018 says that most research studies have found that moderate and severe traumatic brain injury are associated with increased risk or earlier onset of Alzheimer disease and dementia. In a retrospective study of over 350,000 veterans with and without traumatic brain injuries, University of California San Francisco researchers report “Even mild traumatic brain injury without loss of consciousness was associated with more than a two-fold increase in the risk of receiving a dementia diagnosis.” They further said that even a single moderate traumatic brain injury can cause marked cerebral atrophy six months afterward and may progress for many years. As reported in Mother Jones this February, former NFL player and San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Borland retired from the game at age 32 amid concerns over long-term head trauma. “The NFL has had a quarter-century to deal with this problem and is still suiting up five-year-olds in body armor,” he said at an Aspen Institute panel on Sports &

The Lead Based Paint Disclosure Patrick Ryan
Local Real Estate Update When selling or purchasing residential real estate property in California there are many disclosures that are required for a complete transaction. When I mention the word disclosure, I am referencing the documents that a seller and the seller’s agent are required to provide to a buyer. The disclosures are meant to provide all information known about a property for sale so the buyer can make an educated decision about his/her purchase. One of those required disclosures is the Lead Based Paint and Lead Based Pain Hazards Disclosure, Acknowledgement, and Addendum, otherwise known by its acronym, FLD. The California Association of Realtors provides this form for agents to use in their transactions. It is required for the sellers to fill out, both agents for seller and buyer to sign and for the buyer to sign acknowledging receipt of the form. Along with disclosing any information that a seller may have about lead based paint in their home, the seller is also required to provide the buyer with a guide called “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home”. This form is usually provided by the seller’s agent. There is also a guide called the “Combined Hazards Guide” that can be used which along with covering lead, it covers earthquake hazards, energy efficiency and other residential hazards. All is meant to educate the buyer to various hazards. In 1994 the EPA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) created new federal regulations on the disclosure of lead-based hazards in residential property. This was done in order to comply with the 1992 Residential Lead Based Paint Hazards
Reduction Act. These new rules were implemented in 1996 with the cooperation of the National Association of Realtors. It requires the following: Provide buyers and tenants with the pamphlet “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home”, disclose the presence of any lead based paint or any lead based hazard in any house built prior to 1978, provide buyers and tenants with copies of any available reports dealing with the presence of any lead based paint or lead based hazards in the home, and provide buyers(not tenants) with a 10 day or mutually agreeable period for a lead based paint assessment or inspection before a purchaser becomes obligated under the contract to purchase. The buyer may waive this right to test for lead. Due to the fact that the majority of the homes on the Monterey Peninsula were built before 1978, this disclosure (FLD) is required in most transactions. Honestly, most sellers don’t really know if there is any lead-based paint unless they have been made aware of it previously. The FLD form has an area where the seller does state whether they do or do not have any knowledge of leadbased paint. Due to the many health problems that lead can cause, this is a good disclosure to have and it is up to the seller and the seller’s agent to make sure the buyers are made aware of any lead-based paint or lead based hazards in the home for sale. As I have mentioned before, it is always better to disclosure as much as you know when selling a home. If you have any questions about disclosures should you be thinking of selling your home, please feel free to contact me. Cheers Patrick.ryan@sothebyshomes.com Broker Associate 831-238-8116

New reports show 309,000 more people in the state Population growth strongest in the Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California Sacramento is the fastest-growing big city in California, topping 500,000 for the first time (Source: The Sacramento Bee) Sacramento’s population has topped 500,000 for the first time, and the city grew at the fastest rate among the 10 largest cities in California, according to new data from the state Department of Finance. The department on Tuesday released a report containing preliminary January 2018 and revised January 2017 population data for California cities, counties and the state. Sacramento is the sixth-largest city in the state, growing to 501,344 residents, according to the report. At 1.43 percent, or 7,000 residents, Sacramento had the largest population gain, edging San Diego (1.42 percent, or 20,000 residents) among the state’s biggest cities. California added 309,000 residents, growing its population to 39,810,000 residents as of Jan. 1, 2018. Growth was strongest in the more densely populated
counties in the Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California. Los Angeles, the state’s largest city, grew by almost 33,000 people, putting its population at 4,054,400. San Diego remains California’s second-largest city with a population of 1,419,845. San Jose is the third city in the state to have more than a million people, at 1,052,316. Rounding out the top six are San Francisco (883,963), Fresno (538,330) and Sacramento. Santa Rosa lost 3,081 housing units as a result of the 2017 wildfires. The city’s population did grow 0.2 percent to 178,488 because of an annexation of 2,000 housing units. Placer County was among the three fastest-growing counties on a percentage basis, increasing 1.7 percent to 389,532 residents. Merced County was first at 1.8 percent, or 4,900, followed by Placer and San Joaquin counties.

Courtney’s arm, Breakers’ Bats too much for Monterey By Brian “Woodie” Wood Monterey paid a visit to Pacific Grove on Thursday (May 3) in a JV match up. A month and a half ago Monterey had defeated PG 15-5 on a cold and rainy night at Solecito Park. Today, it was time for the Breakers to turn the tables. JJ Courtney continued his stellar pitching, throwing a complete game 2-hit shutout as Pacific Grove dominated throughout the game in a 12-0 victory for the red and gold. Courtney faced 16 batters in the five-inning game, one over the minimum and threw strike after strike; in fact almost 70 percent of his pitches were in the strike zone. He allowed no walks and was backed up by a Pacific Grove defense that committed no errors. The Breakers wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard within the first. Zach Malone and Chianti Carter both singled to left field. With runners on first and second, Designated Hitter Charlie McMahon delivered, in the form a double to right-centerfield scoring both runners. In the top of the second, Monterey’s Angelo Kelly singled to left. However, shortstop Powell stayed with a bad hop grounder by the next batter, stepped on second and threw to first to get the double play. PG added one their half of the inning. Desi Green walked, stole second, and came home on a single over the second baseman’s head by Powell. Courtney followed with a single before Monterey was able to exit the inning. PG now led 3-0. The Breakers extended the lead to
4-0 in the third by playing small ball. Carter walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch, and to third and then home on two ground outs. Jay McMahon singled to left before the inning was closed. In the top of the fourth, PG first baseman Mario Bonelli knocked down a hard grounder and raced the batter to the bag for the out. Despite having only one base hit in the fourth, PG tallied four runs as the Toreadors pitchers issued four free passes. Malone had the lone hit, a single, while he, Clint Cargile, Powell, and pinch runner Aidan Borman all scored runs during the inning. Courtney retired the side 1-2-3 in the fifth on eight pitches. Courtney was efficient as he only tossed 42 pitches over his five innings of work (about eight per inning—most coaches would be happy with twice that amount). The Breakers closed out the game with four runs in the fifth. Green led off with a single, Cargile was hit by a pitch and both Powell and Courtney walked to bring in the first run. Two runs scored on a Malone fielder’s choice/error. Bonelli singled past the third baseman to re-load the bases. The final run was brought home by Jordan Booker on a ground out—his third RBI of the game, all on ground outs. That is what you call
“K” vahn Ebron & Dylan Graham pitch Breakers to 9-2 victory over RLS getting productive outs! The Junior Breakers (11-8) have won three in a row and host Aptos on Saturday (May 5) at 1pm. Pacific Grove traveled to Stevenson in Pebble Beach (all entrance fees were waived at the gate) on Friday (May 4). Led by pitchers Kevahn Ebron and Dylan Graham, the Breakers dominated RLS coming out on top 9-2. Ebron and Graham combined for seven innings of 2-hit ball, only one earned run, and nine strike outs (eight of which belonged to “K” vahn). PG scored two in the first. Nathan Wood and Hunter Hanes both walked and scored on a series of wild pitches and a ground out. RLS responded with a run after Josh Payton led off for Stevenson with a flared single to right and eventually scored on a passed ball. However, the Breakers answered back in the second. Ben Minik doubled to left field and scored on a wild pitch. Pacific Grove opened the floodgates in the fifth, putting across six runs. Graham and Wood led off with walks and Hanes singled to right to load the bases. Ebron hit a long fly to rightfield which was bobbled, allowing Graham to score and keep the bases loaded. Daniel Rosas drove in Wood with a single deep into the hole at short. Josh Mares kept the line moving with a single to center (his second of the day) plating Hanes. The big hit of the inning came from Jackson Destefano who singled to center bringing in Ebron and Rosas. PG now led 9-1. The defensive play of the game was made in the sixth by PG first baseman Ebron who did the splits in receiving a ball from shortstop Destefano getting the speedy Ben Mudd by half a step.
RLS scored their second run in the bottom of the seventh. Pinch hitter Nate Brown walked and moved around the bases on a hit batter-walk-and another hit batter. Stand outs for the Breakers: Mares had two hits, Ebron two runs batted in (as did Destefano), and Wood (three walks) and Hanes (two walks and a hit) both scored twice. Sean Powell, called up from Junior Varsity, started at second base and made several nice plays in the field. Chianti Carter made his varsity debut as the Designated Hitter. Pacific Grove 12-2 (9-5 in the MTAL) travels to Aptos on Saturday (May 5) for a non-league game. Stevenson 12-7 (9-7), hosts North Salinas on Monday (May 7). Pacific Grove JV falls to Aptos 5-1 Pacific Grove JV hosted Aptos on Saturday (May 5) in a game that the visiting Mariners won 5-1. Starting pitcher Zach Malone was sharp in the first four innings allowing just two baserunners, on a single and base on balls. The Breakers had early opportunities. Chianti Carter singled in the first inning and in the second walks to Charlie McMahon, Desi Green, and Mario Bonelli loaded the bases. However, in both instances, no runners came across the plate. JJ Courtney led off the third with a single. Carter had his second single of the day and Courtney eventually came around to score giving PG a 1-0 lead. The Junior Breakers put another two runners on base in the fourth via a walk to Jordan Booker and single by Green—but no runs resulted. Aptos then tallied three runs in the fifth, one in the sixth, and another in the seventh to for a 5-1 lead. PG managed walks to Jay McMahon and Bonelli in their final two innings, but came up short.

At a dinner party Jim Dultz, our cousin Ellen’s husband, said “Janie and Jennie, you need to make this into a book”. That started the ball rolling. It took three years. Jennie is a professional artist and a decorative designer, we both work full time. However, we finished and “played” with getting it published. When my former job ended, Patricia Hamilton of Park Place Publications said, “great!!!” If you help me with my book, I will publish yours. Patricia has been wonderful. The book is in print and on Amazon. I will have a book signing at PacRep’s Neverland Shop to which everyone will be invited, and I am sure Jennie will do the same in Denver. Thank you, Jim, Patricia, Marge Jameson, Kevin Smith and all the support we have received from friends, family and others interested. If you would like a copy, let me know… the order is in and will be ready to distribute soon. Following is the story that inspired it all…although, I cannot lie, Beau (and Reggie) inspired it all:
“He was a tumbling black ball, squirming his way up to us. I picked him up, his breath still redolent with the sweet puppy scent. Daughter, Ellen, pleaded...” Oh, Mom, can we keep him, please, please…I will…. (Fill in the blanks)” The dog had wandered into the art room at the Monterey County Fair which Ellen was docenting with her friend. I oversaw the show but had gone home for a much-needed shower. The Fair Grounds in the middle of September could be oppressively warm and dusty. There was a couple visiting us from Oxnard, who chuckled when I said “No, way, we have four animals already.” We went to the person manning the sound system and the pup’s description was blasted over the noise of the carnival, crowds and hawkers. After several of these announcements, it was apparent that no one would claim him. I looked down at the appealing black puppy, who grinned up at me, his tail beating the ground. He may have been abandoned but not malnourished, his black body was rotund. A bright white patch was on his chest... He probably came from a litter that had traveled with a rancher to Monterey. It seemed his owner either didn’t want him, or more likely, didn’t miss him. “We will take him home and find a good family for him” ... He was named Beauregard, Beau for short, after a character recently introduced on the Muppet Show. Our veterinarian determined that he was part lab and part pit bull. As a puppy he loved to roam, possibly coached by our Irish setter, Cinder, who was a rescue dog. Cinder ran as a door was opened, Beau in hot pursuit, over hill and dale raced the red- haired demon from hell, her apostle racing behind. We would drive around the neighborhood and sight the little creature worn out, on the steps of a house. In the meantime, his teacher was collecting left-over roast beef from a kindly restaurateur. Beau accompanied us wherever we went, jumping up and down with pleasure at the idea of a ride, or a walk. Cinder didn’t remain with us very long. We received calls from all over the city to come and collect her. We built a higher fence. She broke her leg doing a hurdle. Many dollars later and a cast on the errant canine, we breathed a sign. At last she was contained ... I looked out the window and Cinder flew by, over the obstacle, right leg, encapsulated, straight in front. Several months later she disappeared for good; we advertised, called shelters and settled down with pleasure when ads were not answered. She was a beautiful animal and very friendly, so some unsuspecting dog napper thought he had stumbled on riches when he stole her. She was a gift that kept on giving. Beau would eat anything that wasn’t nailed down. He once was subject to severe medical ministrations to prevent a pierced intestine due to the ingestion of sharp bones, procured from the garbage. However, he had an amazing constitution, relishing the box of chocolates which our daughter had received from an admirer, with no ill effect, and a needle from John’s needlepoint. He learned to swim at an early age when he stood on one side of a swimming pool, we on the other. Not understanding the consequences, he took a step onto the water and was shocked when there was no foothold. struggling to get to the edge on our side. After that there was no deterring him, if there was a pool, he needed to be restrained as many owners didn’t welcome dogs in their facility He loved the beach and ran up and down, jumping in and tossing the water around, mud pools were his favorite, his personal Eselon. He loved to run and, if he thought his exercising was incomplete, would sneak out and stand in the driveway barking. When we would attempt an arrest, he would back up and bark some more. Into the car we would jump, and the chase was on. First Beau was the leader, racing around the block, we in hot pursuit. As he tired, his steps would shorten and soon he was racing behind us, ultimately falling exhausted at our

front steps, or climbing wearily into the car... His best friend was Reggie, one of our cats, as black as his companion; they would play for hours on end. Generally, he would leave the house and wander the neighborhood; in those days of no leash laws canines spent most of their time, unescorted and unrestrained, visiting neighbors and hanging out with their buddies. Tuesdays, however, were an anomaly. Beau would leave depart early in the morning and return home near dark. We didn’t worry as he always reappeared for dinner. One afternoon I received a call from a friend who lived a couple of miles down the hill. “Jane, do you know where your dog is?” “No,” I replied, but I am sure he is fine” “He is down here at my house and seems to be with the garbage truck.” I drove to the location and saw the vehicle on the curve of the street. “Beau,” I called. He turned, looked and laughed returning to his mission. A big African American man came over to me. “Is this your dog?” he asked. “Yes, I replied, his name is Beau.” “Well, ma’am, he sure is a good dog, and really helps us” It was revealed that for several months our pet had been joining the team when they entered the area and stayed with them all day, reminding them if they missed a can. It was fine with us and the practice continued for almost a year. Once when I was hosting a bridge game, a friend came in, clearly bemused. “Janie, I believe I just saw Beau riding in the front seat of a garbage truck.” “Oh, yes, that’s what he likes to do.’ Everyone loved the dog and were thrilled about his “play-date” Our local newspaper wrote a story, accompanied by a picture. He was immortalized in a painting by Will Bullas. The leash laws were instituted. For awhile it didn’t affect Beau’s Tuesdays as he was being carefully monitored by his companions in waste management, but the idyllic life ended. Neighbors complained that it wasn’t fair that our animal could be out on the streets when theirs must be incarcerated or restrained. For a time, the boys would stop by the house on Tuesday morning, collect Beau for the day and return him in the late afternoon. We received a ticket and decided that we would go to court (Beau could not accompany us to plead his case; we had to do it for him). The judge happened to be a good friend. We were certain that he would see the justice in allowing the lab his beloved activity. That was not the case. Judge Burleigh was most amused. “I sympathize with Beau, but it is the law that he must be on a leash when out and about” He dismissed the charges but determined that the animal would either be on house arrest or “shackled when walking. Gene, the foreman of the team asked his supervisor if they could take Beau with them on their rounds. The request was denied. By then the fear of pit bulls was rampant and we were becoming increasingly disturbed. While Beau had demonstrated no aggression, only love to people and his own four-legged family, he hated small aggressive dogs and cats (other than his), lunging and growling if they came in sight. Obviously, we couldn’t get rid of our beloved pet, so we watched him carefully. Gene really wanted him and asked if we could relinquish him. We gave it some thought, One day we were sitting in the dining room eating brunch with my husband’s parents who were visiting from Iowa. Mother Roland exclaimed “There is a large black man coming to the door” People of color were rare in their farming community, in fact were looked upon with apprehension. “That’s Gene” I said, “Beau’s friend”. Gene came into the house and we introduced him. “I wonder” he asked “could Beau come out to the yard with us next week? “We are going on strike and we would like him to walk the picket line with us. We will keep him on a leash, and bring him home later.” Our “man in garbage” had another day with his friends, but that was it. Every Tuesday, when he heard the truck, he would stand at the window and whine. Months passed, and he forgot. Years went by and Beau slowed down. It became necessary for him to sit down and rest from time to time. We knew the end was in sight and dreaded the looming trip to take him for his final nap. He slept on the floor in our bedroom. On the Fourth of July we arose to see that Beau was very still, in fact he was gone, gone as he had come, sparing us the pain of having to help him reach greener pastures. Not long after there was a small article in the newspaper about a man working at the garbage collecting yard who had been killed when one truck came too close to another, His name was Gene Moore. Now he Beau and Reggie are watching the trash collections in Heaven, laughing all the way.” Now you have the story, we hope you will love the book.

Señorita
Wildlife Spotlight by Dan Bohrman
Oxyjulis californica
Señoritas are small kelp-dwelling fish found along the coast of California. They have small mouths suited for picking invertibrates off of kelp or other fish, and have been known to eat the bait from fishermen’s lines without taking the hook. Much of their diet comes from parasites cleaned off of larger fish. At night, Señoritas burrow into the sand to avoid predators.

Sanctuary of the Soul: First Church of God
Pacific Grove’s First Church of God congregation organized in 1952 under the leadership of Waite C. McIntire, principal of Robert H Down Elementary School and his wife Roxie along with Audrey and Leon Laforce. The congregation of about 20 held weekly services at a home in Pacific Grove for several years. Around 1954 the Church acquired land on David Avenue from the Watson Nursery with a down payment and a note carried by an owner of the nursery, thought to be George Uyeda. They built a sanctuary which could seat about 80 and in the early years it was often full. A few years after the sanctuary was built, the nursery was sold to the Griggs family, and the balance of the note was forgiven by Uyeda. In 2002 a time capsule was buried at the church to commemorate the Church’s 50th anniversary. It is scheduled to be opened in 2052 at the 100-year anniversary. Every week, church elder Norma Hoerauf writes a new saying on the Church’s marquee which attracts attention even from non-members in the community who like to copy and forward the sayings to their friends and relatives. Five years ago, Pastor Raymond Orndorff came from Oregon with his wife Mary to assume pastorship of the church. He likes to be called just “Ray” and he describes the church as “the people not the building”, so he feels that his primary mission is outreach to the community to make people, especially young people, comfortable coming to church and joining a loving church-family.
Feel the Fire
Gary Baley
Sanctuary of the Soul Ray attended Warner Pacific College and obtained his BA at Azuza Pacific University and his doctorate in theology from Bethany Divinity College in Dothan, Alabama. History: Several Christian denominations use the appellation “Church of God”, so appending the headquarters’ name is often used to differentiate one from another. Pacific Grove’s Church of God is non-denominational but affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson), which is a Christian denomination which began in 1881 when Daniel Warner and several others split from another Church of God denomination with the desire to forsake denominationalism and man-made creeds. It does not ascribe to the Pentecostal practices of other COGs. Its headquarters is Anderson, Indiana where its principal theological seminary, Anderson School of Theology, is located. It is also affiliated with several other universities including Anderson University, Warner University, Warner Pacific College, Mid-America Christian University as well as several international colleges. Demographics: in the United States
and Canada there are about 250,000 members in 2,214 congregations of the Church of God (Anderson). Worldwide, there are over 1 million members in 7,446 congregations in over 90 countries. Theology: Pastor Ray describes the Church as Wesleyan Methodist in theology. It has no formal creed other than the Bible. Accordingly, there is ample space for diversity and theological interpretation. “We do not speak in tongues or dance with snakes as other COG denominations do” Pastor Ray explained. “We claim neither premillennialism nor postmillennialism— we believe Jesus will return when he is ready—I guess that makes us amillennials.” He describes the church as being within the conservative spectrum of ideology in-between liberal and fundamental. The Church of God (Anderson) is an evangelical, Trinitarian, holiness denomination which forsakes abuses and extravagance of ecclesiastical ritualism and dogmatism and embraces pacifism. Its logo is a multi-colored flame and one slogan is “Feel the Fire”. Its churches are
largely autonomous and congregational. Pastor Ray said “I hold to just one doctrine—that which Jesus spoke in Matthew 22:37” when Jesus said the greatest commandment, “Love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and love your neighbor as yourself”. Social Issues: The COG (Anderson) is against abortion “except in the gravest circumstances”. The Church affirms marriage as covenant relationship between one man and one woman yet welcomes everyone equally. “Who am I to judge?” Ray asked. The church recognizes the contributions of women, and has ordained women since early in its history according to Ray. Outreach: “The real ministry goes on as outreach; the real church is the people,” Ray said. “I think this facility should be used every day.” In that spirit, Ray is focused on more outreach. The Church hosts a 4th of July barbeque party every year and invites everyone to drop in. More outreach events are being planned. Services: Sunday worship 10:45 am.

The Monarch Pub and Restaurant opens in America’s Last Hometown Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Pacific Grove Sleepy Pacific Grove—otherwise known as America’s last hometown—is waking up with the opening of the new Monarch Pub and Restaurant on Lighthouse and 17th St. In case you were not aware, PG was the last town in California to lift prohibition on alcohol in 1969. The building that is now the Monarch was formerly 17th Street Grille and historically a gas station prior to that. But this is not somewhere you want to just pull in and fill up, owner Paul Whitecross, originally from Birmingham, England hopes it will be “like a pub back home, where people come and hang out.” Well, based on the success of day one, I’d say he’s well on his way. I had the privilege of having lunch there on opening day this past Monday and the place was packed. I even brought friends back in the evening for beers and dinner and we had to wait a couple minutes for a table. It was bustling with a healthy buzz. This unassuming gem is just what Pacific Grove needs to join the modern world, with all due respect to my hometown. The Monarch is charming with seating inside and outside, the outdoor patio has a firepit and heat lamps to accommodate our not-so-Mediterranean climate and is beautifully decorated with hanging flowerpots along the perimeter...well done, Michelle. There are six beers on tap, a wide selection of bottled beer and wine, as well as a full service full bar. One drink from the menu is Turner’s Hooch, a spiced rum and ginger beer cocktail with lemon, lime, and muddled mint, owing its name to the Tom Hanks movie “Turner & Hooch,” filmed right here in town. The menu serves your favorite British fare: fish and chips, bangers and mash, ploughman’s lunch—a British “salad” of baked ham, a generous hunk of English cheddar cheese, apple slices, celery, carrots, radish, a soft-boiled egg, served with bread and a side of chutney—burgers, and more. I’m personally looking forward to trying the sticky toffee pudding. Everything I have tried thus far has been excellent. Whitecross served in the Royal Engineers before moving across the pond. He’s been here for about twenty years now and considers the peninsula home. He is also part owner of Britannia Arms on Alvarado in Monterey. The name, “The Monarch” is a double entendre, a tipping of the hat to her Majesty the Queen as well as celebrating Pacific Grove’s iconic monarch butterfly. Speaking of her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Family is preparing for a wedding and keeping with our theme here…Prince Harry is marrying an American. I don’t know if this is considered scandalous or progressive, but nevertheless American actress Meghan Markle will marry Prince Harry, sixth in line to the British throne, on May 19. The Monarch is open from 11:00 a.m.-midnight, seven days a week and serves lunch and dinner. Happy hour is 3:30 – 6:30 daily. Come enjoy our town’s soon-tobe famous (and only!) pub.

What does God say about dealing with toxic people? Bill Cohen
Reasoning With God Today’s article is in response to one of our readers who is dealing with a toxic person. “When someone is rude and toxic, it isn’t about you. It is a reflection of their inner state.” (from Pinterest) Toxic people demonstrate the lack of a relationship with God and His way. Merriam-Webster defines toxic as “containing or being poisonous material especially when capable of causing death or serious debilitation.” Applying a spiritual nature to this definition gives us the reality that toxic people are those who are capable of causing death, or serious debilitation, to both their souls and ours. God tells us not to follow the path these people take, for it leads to defilement, Heb 12:14-15, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” A great example of this can be seen when we watch two people in heated argument. God has a three-step process to help us navigate the valley of death these toxic people travel through. This process will save as many of them as possible while keeping us from being drawn into their defilement. First, we should examine our own hearts to see if anything we are doing is contributing to their toxicity, then we can pray for them and for help in correcting our own toxic habits, Matt 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” and Jam 5:16, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” We are to do even more than just pray for them, we are to forgive them for any harm they have caused, Mk 11:25, “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” This is how we soften our hearts, giving the toxic person every chance to see the love and compassion Jesus showed all of us at the cross, Lk 23:34, “ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” God demonstrates that our praying for them is important to Him, by the way He rewarded Job, Job 42:10, “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” Job’s friends acted more like enemies than friends when they saw him suffering from the devil’s devices, but Job responded with God’s grace. Secondly, we should ask them if we are doing anything that is causing them pain, then gently respond and ask for their forgiveness, if it is appropriate. Now, we will be able to discuss how toxic behaviors affect other people; and share with them what God says about the correct way for us to treat each other, Gal 5:14, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Everything we do and everything they do should be seasoned by this verse. Most importantly, God wants us to help those who are lost, but He never calls us to enable them in their defiance of the way He has shown us, Jn 15:10, “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” Jesus, and the Apostles rebuked sinners and defended the helpless by lovingly speaking the truth and forgiving those who repented, Lk 17:3, “Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.” When Jesus told those He had forgiven to “Go and sin no more” He was cautioning them against returning to their old sinful life, Jn 8:11, “She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more.” Jesus’ forgiveness comes with an expectation of true repentance and anything short of repentance illustrates the battle going on in the sinners’ mind, 2 Tim 2:24-26, “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Explain to them that God has told us the kind of behavior He loves and any other behavior could damage our relationship with God. Luke 8:17, “For nothing is secret, that
shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” Nothing is more important than helping them understand the importance of a relationship with Christ! But, if they are not yet ready to reason with God, it is time to walk away, Matt 10:12-14, “And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” God will have judged that we have done our part in His process and that it is time for us to move on; it is not for us to judge these people, only to call them to reason with God, Matt 7:1-2, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Our calling might have been to soften their hearts just enough for them to hear the next person God sends to them. We must understand that we are part of God’s process of giving these toxic people every opportunity to reason with Him and to choose to either accept or reject His offer of salvation, Ps 34:18, “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” When we must part company, it must be done peacefully, Rom 12:18, “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Just as we cannot be friends with angry people, we should not become angry during our parting company, Prov 22:24-25, “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.” God gave us an example to follow when He directed Abram to separate from Lot, Gen 13:8-9, “And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.” Notice how Abram chose to follow God’s calling to separate from Lot, gently and lovingly. Toxic people have not yet learned the truth of God and His loving nature. We can help them if we demonstrate it. Comments, opposing opinions and suggestions for future topics are all welcome at bill@reasoningwithgod.com.
CalChamber Supports All Measures on June 2018 Ballot The California Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has voted to support all measures on the June 2018 ballot. Proposition 68 - Support. California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018. $4 billion bond measure. The CalChamber Board voted to support the measure because it will provide funds for: groundwater cleanups that improve water quality; flood protection and repair; clean drinking water projects; and parks in urban and disadvantaged communities. Proposition 69 - Support. Motor Vehicle Fees and Taxes: Restriction on Expenditures: Appropriations Limit. Constitutional amendment to restrict use of diesel sales tax revenues and the new transportation improvement fee to transportation purposes. The CalChamber Board voted to endorse this measure to add protections for the new transportation revenues approved under CalChamber-supported SB 1 (Beall; D-San Jose; Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), which enacted the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Proposition 70 - Support. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund. A constitutional amendment requiring revenues from the cap-and-trade auctions to be deposited into the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund. It also requires one-time legislative supermajority approval of the cap-and-trade expenditure plan before the funds can be returned to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund to be appropriated. The CalChamber Board voted to support this measure because it will encourage bipartisan support for a cap-and-trade expenditure plan and allow for a process to negotiate expenditures that furthers the goals of the Legislature as a whole.

Proposition 71 -Support. Ballot Measures: Effective Date. Provides that an initiative statute, referendum, or constitutional amendment or revision shall take effect on the fifth day after the Secretary of State files the statement of vote, unless the measure provides a later operative date that is after this effective date. The CalChamber Board voted to support the measure because allowing initiatives and referenda to go into effect before the vote has been certified by the Secretary of State can create confusion and even the erroneous implementation of new law. Proposition 72-Support. Property Tax: New Construction Exclusion: Rain Water Capture System. Will exclude rain water capture systems from the definition of "newly constructed" for property tax reassessment purposes. California is in a state of flux between heavy precipitation and drought. The CalChamber Board voted to support Proposition 72 because rain water recapture systems are an effective means of conserving water that should be encouraged.

Here are a few of those memories of the days shared with my mom in Pacific Grove, from her very first visit when she walked in the door to be greeted by our very big, very loveable, shaggy dog bounding across the room to welcome her … through several years of her visits. One of my sisters and her family was living here … great for all of us! But those visits for Mom included some especially memorable days—unique to see the “world” through the eyes of four of her beautiful grandchildren … exploring in the creek, and “plays” performed especially for Grandma with originality of content and costumes unique to the creative minds of bright children … storytelling and sharing favorite books from the library. Of course there was often a tea party that included not just dolls, but Grandma in a place of honor. So many evenings by the fire … and so many walks by the bay. Sometimes in the calm we would be charmed by playful sea otters, or humbled and awed by the crashing waves so typical to winter days. A Thermos of hot coffee and homemade biscuits, fresh out of the oven, were a special treat during our walks, a day on the bay with a picnic to enjoy. Mom was always an eager and fearless crew member. Masquerading as “Trit Trot the Clown” when Rainbow Studio had its debut, and the honor of her presence when we opened our gallery in the La Porte Building with a champagne reception enjoyed and attended by friends in our Pacific Grove business community … attending St. Mary’s on Sunday mornings … a full house for Thanksgiving weekend with all the “deliciousness” of a holiday shared. So many lovely lunches and dinners to celebrate a special occasion at our favorite, Fandango! Embracing the P.G. Fog On weekends when we were working, Mom was left on her own to explore and enjoy her favorite haunts: Pacific Grove Florist, Bittersweet, The Bookworks, her beloved library, and of course St. Mary’s Thrift Shop. She often came home from St. Mary’s with a precious treasure to gift us with. She would enthusiastically regale us with her exploits during a cozy happy hour by the fire. Mom never once complained about the cold, foggy summer days, just bundled up and embraced them. It was always our hope and plan that one day she would be with us in Pacific Grove. She imagined herself an active member of St Mary’s Parish, a docent at the Aquarium where she was so proud to be a charter member, and a volunteer at St. Mary’s Thrift Shop. Sadly, that day will never come but we all had the fun of looking forward to it. No matter what happens in this life, we will always have our memories, so precious, so dear. It is one thing no one can take away from us. This contribution is in remembrance of my mother and all the wonderful memories we hold dear from her visits, and her love for Pacific Grove and so many memories shared. Forever in our hearts, —A loving daughter
Life in Pacific Grove, Part II, is Coming!
Guest Columnist: Ann Doerr
With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, “Keepers of Our Culture” thought it was only appropriate to dedicate this week’s column to a tribute to dear ol’ Mom. Ann Doerr’s “Memories of Mom” appears on page 15 of Life in Pacific Grove, the book of stories by P.G. residents and visitors published this past October by Park Place Publications. By the way, if you haven’t already found a gift for Mom, a copy of Life in Pacific Grove might be just the thing!
To Know Pacific Grove is to Love Pacific Grove
It often seems that the very best things in life are those experienced and shared with others … so it seems with some of my fondest, most enjoyable memories of our more than 35 years living in Pacific Grove. To know Pacific Grove is to love Pacific Grove … we feel so fortunate to have been able to make this our home and have al-

Mother’s Day Concert with Monterey Peninsula Voices By Katie Shain with Chris Hasegawa Every Mother’s Day weekend the Monterey Peninsula Voices (MPV) invites the community out for their Spring Concerts. This year the title of the show is “MPV Goes to the Movies” and it will be performed at The Monterey Conference Center Center’s Serra Ballroom, Saturday, May 12 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, May 13 at 3 p.m. The MPV 120 voice choir plans to sing an exciting selection of theme songs from movies and TV shows. The program includes songs ranging from Walt Disney to John Williams, from drama to comedy, bluegrass to jazz. Special guest performers include Shinsho Mugen Daiko, Monterey’s premier taiko drumming group, and the Ukulele Songbirds. MPV began in 1962. Current President, Dr. Chris Hasegawa said, “We’re more than just a choir, we’re a collection of people who get together once a week to sing. We’ve become an extended family whose activities and interests go beyond singing. The fact that the choir is non-auditioned, means that you can sing with us even if you don’t have any history of singing with a choir, so as long as you can carry a tune you are welcome. We have a lot of first-timers who end up singing with us for many seasons. Even if you’re not a singer, there are many ways you can become a part of our group and enjoy the benefits of working and playing with our diverse, talented, warm group. For example, many of our spouses and families enjoy volunteering at concerts and coming to cast parties.” This extended musical family includes many notable Pacific Grove residents, including PG City Council member Robert Huitt and former PG Citizens of the Year Mark Travaille and Jean Anton. MPV has choir members who drive in for weekly rehearsals from as far away as Hollister. One original MPV founding member is Dr. Norman Plotkin. Plotkin, the eldest and most cherished member, 94 years young, continues to enjoy rehears-
ing and performing regularly. “I think Sean (Boulware) is excellent and really gets us to perform well. His ability to hear how different people sing notes and rhythms is amazing. And we have a great board of directors that keep us organized. It’s just a lot of fun!” said Plotkin. Dr. Sean Boulware, MPV’s current Musical Director, says, “It’s truly amazing how much the music of films inspires us, it really makes us feel the emotion of the story being told. Enjoying handpicked examples of great choir moments from movies really brings back great memories for me, the singers and we hope, our audiences. I did a lot of my growing up watching and being shaped by movies, so this music has a lot of deep meaning for me and I hope it will for others as well. Some of the songs are just plain fun, like “Ghostbusters” and “Nightmare Before Christmas.” Some of the songs are really moving, like “Dry Your Tears, Afrika” from “Amistad” and “The Light Saber Battle” from “Star Wars Episode One.” Some songs are just pure passion, like “From Now On” from The Greatest Showman. I can’t wait to share it with our audiences and to experience it together!” Sean and his wife, Michelle Boulware, are all around great contributors to local youth and adult community musical education. The Boulware’s have directed Pacific Grove Middle School shows concurrently for 9 years and PG High School shows for the 6 years. Much of the Boulwares’ time is volunteer as they have two young budding sons with bright futures. Monterey Peninsula Voices next session will be this summer and plans for a performance at the PG Fourth of July Celebration. Rehearsals will begin in June with special scholarships available for interested Senior Citizens and High School students who want to taste what singing with MPV is like.
