PG City Council Votes for Economic Impact Study Before Placing Measure to Ban STRs on Ballot

By Alka Joshi and Marge Ann Jameson The Pacific Grove City Council voted unanimously at the June 3 regular meeting to commission a study on the economic impact of STRs, a crucial piece of information that’s been missing in arguments for and against the STR program. Advised by

City Attorney Laredo that they must vote to commission the study per California Elections Code 9192 before voting to put the measure to ban STRs on the November ballot, the Council decided to wait on the latter issue until the conclusion of the study.

If the council had voted to pass the ordinance as presented in the

On Tuesday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m., the public is invited to join Friends of the Pacific Grove Library to meet author Jonathan White and hear stories and short readings of his journey into the surprising and poetic workings of the tide.

After nearly losing his 65’ wooden schooner in a large Alaskan tide, writer, sailor, and surfer Jonathan White vowed to understand the tide. He knew the moon had something to do with it, but what exactly? He read a book, then two. Ten years later, he had read three hundred books and criss-crossed the seven seas to see the largest, fastest, scariest, and most amazing tides in the world.

Copies of “Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean” will be available for sale at the event.

Pet Travel Tote Bag Diana L. Guerrero

Webster Slate

Ask ARK Lady

When it comes to pet safety there are a number of pet products on the market to help keep those furry friends safe and secure. But you should create a pet tote bag that is ready for any trip and then adapt it with the additional items you might need.

So what is a pet travel tote bag?

Similar in concept to a spa bag, the grab n’ go satchel contains all of the basic items that you would need on any day excursion.

To help you get started here are the pet tote bag basics with some specific suggestions of what you might need for some of the more popular pooch activities.

Leash Travel ID Tag Pet Clean Up Bags Towel Snacks Water Travel Bowls Pet First Aid Kit Tie-Out

Once ready, you just need to add any necessary items for those unique excursions. Consider some of these specific suggestions for both long trips or those special outings closer to home:

Vehicle Travel: Travel by vehicle is safer when a pet wears a seat belt or is enclosed in a crate. Although the beast bag basics will cover almost every need for most occasions, you’ll need to include a pet seat belt or vehicle barrier safety net. Another option is to secure a crate in the back section of the vehicle. This will help keep your pet protected while also creating a safe haven that can be used just about anywhere.

Boating: For boating, a life jacket is the top priority and many commercial pet brands are now on the market. In addition to your normal beast bag items, be sure that you add a pet potty, dog sun glasses, a visor, and pet sunblock. In some cases, you might want to include neoprene footwear or an insulated water repellent dog jacket.

Hiking: Avid hikers will want to consider adding a good paw wax, dog booties, pet sunblock, and pet insect repellent aids. As with any outdoor ac-

tivity, hydration is important. In addition, consider strapping on a good doggie backpack for your pet to carry those doggie essentials. Other items might include reflective wear, or bear alert bells.

Biking: A WalkyDog® or a bike tow leash, make cycling activities with your canine safer and easier. If you have a small pooch, a dog bicycle trailer might be more appropriate. Be sure to include a lightly colored or reflective coat for added safety even during the day.

C l o s i n g Ti p s : W h e n y o u are out and about, always remember to check your pet’s condition every half an hour or so. Be sure to examine the condition of the paw pads, too.

Finally, remember that dogs only can cool themselves through panting or licking their paws, so good additions to your adventure beast bag would be a cooling kerchief coat or cooling bed. Both serve to help your animal to lower his or her temperature—but a good splash in the creek or body of water might be better and certainly will be more fun for your pet!

The Gray Eminence Monday morning a citizen named Tom came to Cedar Street Times to tell us the ballot box at Pacific Grove City Hall was so full he could not get his ballot into the box. He went on to say that the many people trying to vote there could not.

This reporter has actually been to places in this fine country that, through District gerrymandering and genuine racial intimidation have changed the way the actual ballots are utilized toward the count. Or, stifled with modern day racial gauntlets, thwarting the vote entirely in others. Texas and Florida are common places for this sort of thing, still. Many other states share similar circumstances. But what I found right here in Pacific Grove was surprising, indeed.

I left the CST going upstairs through the museum, across the street to Pacific Grove City Hall. I arrived at the entrance to City Hall and looked for direction to the ballot box.

There were none. In fact there were zero directional signs outside or inside. The main hallway on the first floor is fairly short in length, so I found the ballot box after just a few tries. I carefully examined it in order to determine its condition without touching it.

This moment is when I realized I should not touch it and when the importance this ballot box and the human sacrifice to ensure its wellbeing. The sacred nature of the American vote, and the privilege to do so, enveloped me with pride and concerned me to the very marrow of my existence. There are countless dead bodies on the road to this greatest American institution. I was going to honor them. I knew that this process at this place, Pacific Grove City Hall had absolutely broken down. I knew I was standing there alone. So there I was alone in the Pacific Grove City Hall, with just my personal integrity and patriotism, when the torrent of voters arrived one after another to deliver their early ballots. Sometimes four and five deep. Without exception they were each and every one upset and confused and disappointed, with bent and damaged ballots. Wave after wave relentlessly intense Americans trying to do their duty. The older most mature voter seemed particularly disappointed. With well more than a few sternly expressing this to me for publication in this paper. There were no instructions what to do. Only an excuse.

A voter had discarded a city guide to polling places. On it was information about early ballot delivery. The nearest collection point was the library in Monterey. More

and more of people commanded my attention. I was in a carnival of horrors. Now every single voter was physically wrestling with the ballot box. Old and young alike sought resolution by force. I broke away enough to gather my thoughts and call my editor. I conveyed my concern that what looked was happening was tampering with the ballot box, manhandling it; anyway.

Many people had already called the election department, thank you. They received the same response that both the City Clerks did and I did as well. Essentially, let’s see what happens. I became less sure that a solution was at hand. By this point I had called the Elections Department twice. I called again and was very literal. I pointed out that on behalf of the newspaper Cedar Street Times I was asking formal, actual questions that were to be answered: now. The main question was, exactly when was this situation going to be resolved? I was moved up the chain of authority until I spoke with a person who could affect change. She did. They were on their way. From where I asked?

They did not know, probably another box somewhere. “After all there are more than 14 that are scheduled for pick up today.” Frustrated with some of the more aggressive behavior and anger from these normal people in an abnormal and frustrating situation, I called Police Chief Christey to report or not report the dysfunctional ballot box and high tension amongst the locals. I called my editor to see if she could find out if they were jammed up at any of the other ballot boxes. With remarkable speed Marge Ann did so. It was smooth sailing everywhere else. While wave after wave of frustrated citizen came and went I called the Elections Department for the fifth time and spoke with the helpful honcho and suggested to her that, since all the other ballot boxes were ok, she should expedite her crew here, now. I could hear the sense of relief in this stranger's voice as she told me “that is right. They are the way and will be there any time now.”

In fairness our heroic ballot box recovery team arrived less than an hour and a half after my first call to them. Under these circumstances, that’s pretty good.

We weren’t out of the woods yet. There is no way to know if the many people who left without delivering their vote went on to do so elsewhere. I had been doing Three Heroes, but who’s counting? Webster the best I could to explain their (The Gray Eminence) with Elections Depart- options. Mail it, go to the Library in ment people work on the stuffed ballot box. Monterey, City Hall in Carmel, etc.

As it unfolded during the close to three hours I spent by the ballot box, only one City Official waded into see what was going on. One of the first things said to a frustrated citizen by this City Official was “this happens all the time.”

I spoke with more than 50 people about this situation while I was there. I repeatedly heard that, this phenomena was recurring. Pacific Grove, after all, has one of the highest percentages of early voters of any place in the county. Recurring is just plain not good enough to this reporter and resident.

An elegant calmness covered the hallway when the crew arrived and handled the situation with intense professional confidence. It was reassuring to all there to see the voting system work again. Within five minutes of arrival the crew was receiving ballots officially.

By the time the day was done I had been formally invited to go and watch the Election Department do the actual counting of the ballots on Tuesday. I accepted the invitation, I went; and it was mind-blowing. Full transparency and security in this cyber world. This is an amazing place at the heart and soul of our beloved democracy.

Well worth a visit, or support. While there in the Monterey County Elections building I met Mr. Claudio Valenzuela, the Registrar of Voters. A charismatic and clearly highly intelligent professional. I felt the inherent warmth and strength of a genuine everyday patriot. Mr. Valenzuela and I have agreed to meet next week to discuss the resolution of the consistently overwhelmed ballot box in the Pacific Grove City Hall.

In closing, it seems there is often an apology due after I write most things. This time I’ll let you the reader decide. As the crew arrived to straighten things out, I naturally; politely and professionally asked more than a few questions in my caricaturist laid back, easy going way. Out of the blue a well-meaning though clearly naïve City Official gleaned the best condescending voice available and told me “You are not allowed to ask them any questions. You shouldn’t talk with them.” I responded swiftly and firmly.

“According to the Constitution of the United States of America, as an American; I enjoy free speech. Furthermore as a journalist with a free press right across the street, I am going to continue now.” It looked like this all grown up City Official was starting to cry.

I apologize to that person for not being more patient. I also apologize for hurting their feelings.

Otherwise I am quite happy how this is turning out.

I have to ask why has it taken years for this situation to be resolved?

Your local Fourth Estate got it handled in an afternoon. *UPDATE* Monterey County Elections is in the official 30-day election canvass period. The canvass is required by law to conduct a full accounting and tabulation of all ballots cast in the election. The ballots cast include provisional ballots and vote-by-mail ballots delivered on Election Day or received within the three days after the election.

As of Thursday, June 7, approximately 29,000 ballots are left to process, countywide.

The number of ballots left to process is greater than the number of ballots processed in the early voting period. According to Claudio Valenzuela, Registrar of Voters, “This is a trend that we have observed in the last few elections. More people are holding on to their vote by mail ballots until the last minute. Voters are dropping them off at the polling places and return locations on Election eve and Election Day or sending them in the U.S. mail in the last week.”

The next report of results will be posted by close of business day on Friday, June 8, 2018. Additional reports will be released through the canvass period. The Registrar of Voters will certify results by July 5, 2018.

What does God say about lying? ing? Numb 23:19, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” He tells us this so we can know His promises will be fulfilled, Eze 12:28, “Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.”

Bill Cohen

Reasoning With God God has told us the things He hates and lying is one of them, Prov 6:16-19, “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” The reason God hates lying, so much, is that it breaks trust and puts roadblocks along the path to Him, Is 32:7, “The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.” God delights in our decision to be truthful, Prov 12:22, “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.” Our truthfulness is the fruit, which proves we are on our way to Him, Prov 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” But, liars are on their way to becoming goats and experiencing an eternal separation from Him, Prov 19:9, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.”

How do we know liars are separating themselves from God? Because He told us, Ps 101:7, “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.” We cannot be fooled by the lie, which says this is Old Testament thinking and does not apply to us, Col 3:9-10, “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Nor can we think that we are covered by grace and therefore somehow shielded from our sins, Lk 8:17, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” For God told us many will be surprised they are not admitted into heaven, Matt 7:22-23, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” God’s grace cannot be cheapened by faith without repentance and repentance is not real when we continue to live in our sins, Prov 28:13, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:

God wants us to test everything we hear, to see if it is the truth sent by Him, even when He tells us something, 1 Jn 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them but try the spirits whether they are of God: because shall have mercy.” We, therefore, need not many false prophets are gone out into the world.” This envy the treasures of those who lie to gain is how we can have faith in the promise of eternal life, them, Prov 21:6, “The getting of treasures by Tit 1:2, “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro lie, promised before the world began;” The fact He of them that seek death.” When measured never lies and asks us to never lie to each other, Col against eternity, those treasures will be 3:9, “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put short-lived. off the old man with his deeds” allows us to measure our progress in our transformation, Eph 4:15-16, “But Water reflects our face when we look into it and speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all our hearts reveal the truth when we tell lies, Prov things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the 27:19, “As in water face answereth to face, so the heart whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that of man to man.” People watch what we do and say; which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual and eventually, they will call us liars, 1 Jn 2:4, “He working in the measure of every part, maketh increase that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandof the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” ments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

God is allowing us to decide whether we will be part of His eternal family and lying is one of the ways we are making this decision, Eph 4:25, “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.” Lying erodes trust and dissolves the glue that binds us to each other. It is lying that demonstrates we have chosen not to be “members one of another.” Lying is not from God, but rather from the father of lies, the devil, Jn 8:44, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Who then do we imagine we serve when we lie? Notice that God considers lying to be on the same level as murder, because it is the murder of the trust, which leads to faith, and is the foundation required for relationships in the eternal family, Matt 15:18:20, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” He continues to make it very clear, lying is on the road to eternal separation from God, Prov 19:5, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.”

Those who choose not to accept God’s invitation to eternity will use lies to keep others from finding God’s truth, Ps 109:2, “For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.” It is their jealousy eating at their conscience, which produces these lies, 1 Tim 4:2, “Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” God keeps telling us He never lies; are we listen-

Each night, he would then dutifully roll each flag and retire them for the night.

PSTRs ON BALLOT

petition, it could be construed as electioneering should the results of the economic study be presented later.

It was one of three options before the council: 1. Adopt the ordinance on the spot 2. Order an election 3. Request a report after which time they should either adopt the ordinance or immediately order the election.

City Manager Ben Harvey said he had commissioned an economic impact study two weeks ago using his discretionary budget. Matrix Consulting is reviewing the impact of the loss of TOT revenue after the loss of 51 STRs in the May 22 Lottery and the TOT loss of another 150 STRs should the ballot measure pass. Harvey said the City had the latitude to spend up to $10K if they added additional items such as STR impact on local businesses, restaurants, shops and cafes. The results of the study should be available in the June 20 City Council packet.

Once the results of the study are presented, the council will then have the option to enact the petition wording as an ordinance on the spot, or to presented it on the November, 2018 ballot for the voters to decide.

It is likely that, given comments by councilmembers during discussion. Itwill go to the ballot.

“We owe it to the electorate to let them vote on this matter, whether an economic study adds to the decision or not,” said councilmember Cynthia Garfield.

“The people want to vote on this. They signed the petition saying they want to go to the ballot,” said mayor pro tempore Robert Huitt.

During public comment, anti-STR proponent and leader of the proposed STR ban Luke Coletti suggested that Council should forgo the economic impact study and place the measure on the ballot immediately. However, Mayor Kampe and Councilmember Huitt noted that 1600 signatures on the initiative only indicated the measure should be placed on the ballot, not that the signers were for or against it; the remaining 7800 registered voters have yet to weigh in on the issue.

Councilmembers Huitt and Peake said the voters will decide the issue in November. Councilmembers Cuneo and Fischer stated that giving voters more information will help them make a more informed decision in November. And Cuneo added that “banning STRs does not get rid of our affordable housing problem."

STR owner Joy Colangelo said, “Even after canvassing every neighborhood, the anti-STR campaigners could only convince 17 percent of voters to sign their petition. The other 7800 PG voters had plenty of chances to sign the petition, but did not do so."

Mayor Kampe said a study of the impact on local businesses would be extremely useful. In the last three years, he said he had personally noticed the positive impact of visitors on downtown businesses, adding that many of the businesses have been keeping track of STR guests who patronize their shops and restaurants in large numbers. “It’s nonsense to assume that if STRs were banned, those visitors would fill our hotels. We are limited in hotel rooms. Those who prefer STRs may go elsewhere.” With Seaside’s newly adopted STR ordinance, that is now a real possibility.

STR Owner and STRONGpg spokesperson Alka Joshi said, “We look forward to the results of the economic impact study, especially how much STRs impact our local businesses. We can’t imagine why anyone would argue against the study. Every informed vote depends on it.”

The Silent Generation Jane Roland Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts We spent the weekend in Los Angeles with all of our immediate family except, sadly, Justin, Megan and Spencer. Everyone else was there, our children, spouses and grandchildren. We drove down on Friday to see Joe graduate on Saturday…I will write about that next week..for the moment, those of you old enough to remember enjoy the article sent to me by my dear friend, Barbara Hood..whom I have known since the late fifties: Born in the 1930s and early 40s, we exist as a very special age cohort. We are the Silent Generation.

We are the smallest number of children born since the early 1900s. We are the “last ones.”

We are the last generation, climbing out of the Depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war which rattled the structure of our daily lives for years.

We are the last to remember ration books for everything from gas to sugar to shoes to stoves.

We saved tin foil and poured fat into tin cans.

We hand-mixed ’white stuff’ with ‘yellow stuff’ to make fake butter.

We saw cars up on blocks because tires weren’t available.

We can remember milk being delivered to our house early in the morning and placed in the “milk box” on the porch. [A friend’s mother delivered milk in a horsedrawn cart.] We sometimes fed the horse.

We are the last to hear Roosevelt’s radio assurances and to see gold stars in the front windows of our grieving neighbors.

We can also remember the parades on August 15, 1945; VJ Day. We saw the ‘boys’ home from the war, build their Cape Cod style houses, pouring the cellar, tar-papering it over and living there until they could afford the time and money to build it out.

We remember trying to buy a new car after the war. The new cars were coming through with wooden bumpers.

We are the last generation who spent childhood without television; instead we imagined what we heard on the radio.

As we all like to brag, with no TV, we spent our childhood “playing outside until the street lights came on.”

We did play outside and we did play on our own.

There was no Little League.

There was no city playground for kids.

To play in the water, we turned the fire hydrants on and ran through the spray.

The lack of television in our early years meant, for most of us, that we had little real understanding of what the world was like.

Our Saturday afternoons, if at the movies, gave us newsreels of the war sandwiched in between westerns and cartoons.

Telephones were one to a house, often shared and hung on the wall.

Computers were called calculators, only added and were hand cranked; typewriters were driven by pounding fingers, throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon.

The ‘internet’ and ‘GOOGLE’ were words that didn’t exist.

Newspapers and magazines were written for adults and the news was broadcast on our table radio in the evening by H.V Kaltenborne and Gabriel Heatter.

We are the last group who had to find out for ourselves.

As we grew up, the country was exploding with growth.

The G.I. Bill gave returning veterans the means to get an education and spurred colleges to grow. VA loans fanned a housing boom.

Pent-up demand coupled with new installment payment plans put factories to work.

New highways would bring jobs and mobility.

The veterans joined civic clubs and became active in politics.

In the late ‘40s and early ‘50s the country seemed to lie in the embrace of brisk but quiet order as it gave birth to its new middle class (which became known as ‘Baby Boomers’).

The radio network expanded from three stations to thousands of stations.

The telephone started to become a common method of communications and “Faxes” sent hard copy around the world.

Our parents were suddenly free from the confines of the Depression and the war and they threw themselves into exploring opportunities they had never imagined.

We weren’t neglected but we weren’t today’s all-consuming family focus.

They were glad we played by ourselves until the street lights came on.’

They were busy discovering the post war world.

Most of us had no life plan, but with the unexpected virtue of ignorance and an economic rising tide we simply stepped into the world and started to find out what the

world was about. We entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where we were welcomed. Based on our naïve belief that there was more where this came from, we shaped life as we went. We enjoyed a luxury; we felt secure in our future.

Of course, just as today, not all Americans shared in this experience.

Depression poverty was deep rooted.

Polio was still a crippler.

The Korean War was a dark presence in the early ‘50s and by mid-decade school children were ducking under desks.

Russia built the “Iron Curtain” and China became Red China.

Eisenhower sent the first ‘advisors’ to Vietnam; and years later, Johnson invented a war there.

Castro set up camp in Cuba and Khrushchev came to power.

We are the last generation to experience an interlude when there were no existential threats to our homeland.

We came of age in the ‘40s and early ‘50s. The war was over and the Cold War, terrorism, Martin Luther King, civil rights, technological upheaval, “global warming,” and perpetual economic insecurity had yet to haunt life with insistent unease.

Only our generation can remember both a time of apocalyptic war and a time when our world was secure and full of bright promise and plenty. We have lived through both.

We grew up at the best possible time, a time when the world was getting better. not worse.

We are the Silent Generation – “The Last Ones”.

More than 99.9 percent of us are either retired or deceased, and feel privileged to have “lived in the best of times”!

PLINDA WILLIAMS From Page 1 years. In 2005, Linda became the Robert Down principal, and has remained at her post until now. After the dust settled from all the end-of- school year celebrations, I caught up with Linda and asked her the million dollar question...why did you decide to go back to the classroom?

“Well, it was a tough decision, really because I love this job. Robert Down is very special. From the moment I walked into the school I knew it was a magical place. And it’s the people; they’re so warm and welcoming, and they’re dedicated and hardworking. It’s a fabulous staff. It was a very tough decision because this is the best job I have ever had. I have loved every minute. But I have seven grandchildren now, and I need to spend a little time with them. The two oldest are five, and I think, “Where did those five years go?” As principal, the way I operate is I want to be at every event and help with everything, so I can’t just leave at 5 o’clock. That’s just the way I do business. I wasn’t ready to retire but I am ready to cut back on my time a little bit, so I decided to go back into the classroom. It’s been 13 very lucky years for me. I skip to work everyday, and I love coming here. The staff is the most dedicated staff that I’ve ever worked with and they’re very inspiring and very committed to the community of PG, so it’s a great place to be.

What I liked most about being a principal was the sense of community at this school between the families and the teachers. Those connections. That’s been

my favorite part, building that community and building those connections. I can’t tell you how often a student will come back and look at their hand print on the wall, or visit a teacher. I recently had a couple in their late 80’s come visit Robert Down. They live in Bakersfield now but they met here in first grade in the 1930’s.

They went all through school together and started dating at PG High School. After graduation, her dad sent her away to college, and they drifted apart, both going on to have happy marriages to other people.

But both of they’re spouses died and two years ago they reconnected, and they got married! They came to visit and take a little tour, telling us all kinds of stories.

You can see the lasting effect a school can have, and I can’t tell you how often that happens. It’s that sense of community and connection, and we want to give the kids that good foundation. That was my favorite part of being principal.

But I am looking forward to being back in the classroom and having that direct connection with students. I will be the intervention teacher so I’ll be working with students who are struggling with reading or math or writing. I hope to help the children I’m working with and I’ll be making sure they’re on the right path. I’ve had a lot of experience and successes, so I hope to continue doing that in the classroom. And my Special Ed training will help. That’s the whole background with Special Ed....how to help a struggling child and close that gap.

I don’t want children to lose that joy of learning and sometimes when they become frustrated or behind that can happen. I want to make sure that joy of learning and that spark stays there for every single kid in the school. That’s what I’ll be doing. “ Sean Keller, who is currently serving as assistant principal for PG High School, will be filling Linda’s shoes as principal of Robert Down Elementary in the Fall. When I asked Linda what advice she would pass along to Sean, she had this to say, “I want him to know that even though I’m in the building, he’s in charge.

He’s very capable. My best advice would be put on your running shoes. This staff, they will inspire you and you gotta run to keep up with them. That’s the beauty of it. It’s not like you’re trying to pull them along, you’re gonna be running to keep up with them. They are such an amazing staff. I have never come to this building when there hasn’t been somebody here working...be it 6 at night or 8am on a Sunday. They are a hardworking team, so that would be my advice to Sean.

It’s such a bittersweet thing for me, and I know when August comes, I will have a little bit of principal homesickness, but I’ll get through it, and I’ll have my new classroom. I went into education to work with children, and now I’m gonna go back and finish out doing that. I want to have an impact on the future of the next generation.”

Linda’s own words say it best in her farewell letter:

Planning for Each Generation

Enhancing the Present

I have been writing a bi-weekly column for the Cedar Street Times and its predecessor, The Pacific Grove Hometown Bulletin, since 2007. Although the content of my column sometimes varies, it mainly focuses upon aspects of estate planning. I am often asked – and I sometimes wonder myself – if I will ever run out of topics about which to write! However, there always seems to be something new that I can say about this vast and highly nuanced area of the law. Indeed, being able to apply complex legal concepts to a host of varied applications requires an almost infinite infrastructure of knowledge, the pursuit of which never ends. While that can sometimes feel daunting, I am encouraged by a famous quote from Albert Einstein: “The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.”

As an English major in college and then as a law student, I have spent a good amount of time in libraries. Although I did most of my studying in my room, if I needed to focus on a particular project, the library was a perfect setting. I remember one time in law school I became overwhelmed with the technical aspects of the law that I was studying.

I wandered into the university’s main library and found mental and emotional relief in the warm and fuzzy pictures of paintings from the Hudson River School artists in the Art History section. The ability of a library to take you to other places, both literally and figuratively, is truly a treasure.

After law school, I studied for the Bar Exam at the Pacific Grove Public Library, returning to the same building where as a child my grandmother and mother took me to check out books to begin my lifetime journey of learning. Libraries are indeed the cornerstone to any democratic community and our community of Pacific Grove has been fortunate enough to have had a centralized location for accessible knowledge for over 110 years.

The Pacific Grove Public Library has gone through many changes and developments since its establishment. Currently, the Friends of the Library, the Library Foundation, the Pacific Grove City Council, the Library Board, and community volunteers have joined together to raise funds to make a substantial renovation to our beloved community library. The Pacific Grove Public Library website outlines the highlights of the renovation:

White Sturgeon

Wildlife Spotlight

Acipenser transmontanus

White Sturgeons are large fish found along the Pacific coast of North America. Instead of scales, sturgeons have a series of bony plates covering their bodies. They average 10 feet in length but have grown up to 20 feet in the past, and can live beyond 100 years. As North America’s largest freshwater fish, sturgeons are targeted by sportfishers outside of California and commercial fisheries as a source of caviar.

Provide comfortable, accessible, and welcoming community spaces to support early literacy, lifelong learning and information access for all ages and abilities through children’s services, internet access, study groups, small and large meetings, and public programs.

Update restrooms, carpeting, shelving, and fixtures Improve usability and accessibility with a new central service desk, upgraded and energy-efficient lighting, improved lighting and way finding.

Preparing for our Community’s Future Improve and expand connectivity and infrastructure for 21st century technology needs.

Provide flexible spaces to support quiet reading, group study, programs, and meeting.

Ensure the renewed Library meets the needs of generations to come.”

I think this is an exciting project for our community and I look forward to taking my son to see the completed renovation in the fall of 2019. I will remind him that as long as value is placed on access to information, including the support of a local library, there is no limit to the amount of knowledge that one can acquire.

August 16, 2018 will mark the 75th anniversary of the commissioning of the USS Intrepid (CVS-11), the World War II-era Essex class aircraft carrier that is now home to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. To mark the occasion, the Intrepid Museum is putting out a coast-to-coast “all call” for former Intrepid crew members to be reunited in a special 75th Commissioning Anniversary Celebration Weekend from Thursday, August 16 to Sunday, August 19, 2018 on board Intrepid.

The Museum is also accepting donations of personal artifacts and memorabilia from former crew members and their families. Each item added to the Museum’s collection helps express and interpret Intrepid’s stories of service, and serves to educate and inspire more than one million visitors each year.

To learn more about this weekend and for registration information, former crew members and their family members can visit www.intrepidmuseum.org/75 or email fcm@intrepidmuseum.org.

The homecoming weekend will feature a special ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of Intrepid’s commissioning on Thursday, August 16, honoring Intrepidformer

crew members who will reunite and share stories of their tours of duty. Throughout the weekend, the Museum will offer guided tours of the ship and behind-the-scenes curator-led tours of the Museum’s collection storage facility, and a special former crew member dinner event with the United States Secretary of the Navy, Richard V. Spencer.

For some former crew members, this will be the first time they have been aboard their beloved ship since the completion of their service.

Intrepid’s 75th Commissioning Anniversary Celebration Weekend is open to the public, and will feature programs and events specifically tailored for former crew members and their families, as well as opportunities for members of the public to interact with our visiting former crew members. Over 280 former crew members are currently confirmed to attend with their family members.

Now a Museum and national historic landmark, the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS11) was one of the most successful and stalwart ships in US history. Nicknamed “The Fighting I” by its crew, Intrepid served in the Pacific during World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike. Intrepid later conducted submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War and served three tours of duty off Vietnam. It was also one of the primary recovery vessels for NASA during the Mercury and Gemini missions, and retrieved astronauts Scott Carpenter, Gus Grissom and John Young after their respective orbits and splashdowns in the Pacific.

About the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is a non-profit, educational institution featuring the legendary aircraft carrier Intrepid, the space shuttle Enterprise, the world’s fastest jets and a guided missile submarine. Through exhibitions, educational programming and the foremost collection of technologically groundbreaking aircraft and vessels, visitors of all ages and abilities are taken on an interactive journey through history to learn about American innovation and bravery.

Times • Page 17 Remembering Dad: ‘Can-Do,’ Cocktails and Conversation June 8, 2018 • CEDAR STREET

Keepers of our Culture Joyce Krieg and Patricia Hamilton

June is known as the month of dads and grads, so this week in “Keepers of Our Culture” we are featuring three memories of fathers.

These outtakes come from the pages of “Life in Pacific Grove,” the book of true tales by and for residents and visitors of our hometown, published this past October by Park Place Publications. Joanie Hyler’s story appears on page 137, Peter Melville’s on page 298, and Nancy Ricketts’s on page 30.

Joanie Hyler—A ‘Can Do’ Attitude My father, Bill Hyler, gave me the confidence and “can do” attitude that grounded me for life. I got my driver’s permit in 1965 when I was 15. My father has just bought a new 1965 Thunderbird and I asked to drive the car when we were going to have dinner at the Rocky Point restaurant in Big Sur. When my mother objected, he told her, “If she doesn’t learn now, when’s she gonna learn?” After high school he employed me in his plastics manufacturing plant

on Cannery Row and I learned I “can do,” as well.

Joanie Hyler serves on the boards of the Pacific Grove Feast of Lanterns, the P.G. High Alumni Association, and the P.G. Police Citizens Academy.

Peter Melville: Cocktails in the Laundromat I was eight years old when my father bought a laundromat. Our family lived in Carmel by-the-Sea, but this was around 1960 and there were no laundromats in Carmel. So my father bought one in Pacific Grove.

My father had never owned or run a laundromat before. He thought they were unattractive and decided to cheer his up.

He commissioned an artist to paint the walls with murals, and on the opening ceremony he poured cocktails, which he mixed in one of the machines.

I was too young to be involved with managing the business. Occasionally I would accompany my father if some trouble called him to Pacific Grove, and I remember us driving down a winding road to the strip mall where our laundro-

mat was situated. Mostly we had to refill the vending machines that dispensed packages of soap, and to empty the machines of the dimes they had collected.

Back home we splashed the dimes onto the dining-room table, where all four members of our family scrutinized the minting dates, hoping to find one that was rare and valuable.

My father passed away in 1962.

My mother sold the laundromat, and the house and the car, and took my brother and me with her to her native Holland.

I have been back to California several times, but never to Pacific Grove. Not, that is, until last May, when I visited Monterey Peninsula. Highway 1 has changed; traffic is heavier. But when I took the exit I found myself driving down the familiar winding road, through the woods and onto the road that leads past the strip mall. On my left I spotted a laundromat—that hadn’t changed. But I forgot to stop and see whether the walls were still decorated with murals.

Peter Melville is a translator (English-Dutch) and lives in the Netherlands.

Nancy Ricketts: Conversation with a Legend Sunday afternoons were pretty special in our young years, during the story-reading and story-telling days.

Mother spent a good deal of time in the kitchen; she was a good cook and enjoyed cooking for company. We often had company on Sundays, and at other times when Dad invited fellow scientists to our house. We heard beautiful music, and lots of quite interesting conversations, accompanied by cigar and pipe

smoke drifting through the air.

Nancy Ricketts is the daughter of marine biologist Ed Ricketts, the inspiration for the character of “Doc” in John Steinbeck’s novels Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday. She lives in Sitka, Alaska.

Workshopping Myself with Writer Steve Hauk

By Stephen Cooper, Esq. Because I’m blessed, but also, because I’m a writer and therefore accursed with all the selfish, self-doubting sensibilities writers share, this past Memorial Day weekend I drove from Los Angeles — through green-gold, straw-yellow, and bakedred foothills dotting the California coast — to Monterey; I went, in the first instance, to write about the Ninth Annual California Roots Music and Arts Festival (and I did), but also, I went to meet a new friend for the first time — a much more experienced writer-sufferer than I — the award-winning playwright and Pacific Grove art gallery owner Steve Hauk; I wanted to talk to Hauk, to size him up in the flesh, and also, to seek his guidance on our common affliction, namely, being writers.

Now admittedly, unlike myself, whom I’d describe currently — and charitably — as a “struggling” writer, by any metric it’s easy to call Hauk “successful” without brooking disagreement. But, as this piece concerns the agony more so than the ecstasy of being a writer, I’m mindful of James Baldwin’s admonition in his essay “As Much Truth as One Can Bear” that “‘[s]uccess’ is an American word which cannot conceivably, unless it is defined in an extremely severe, ironic and painful way, have any place in the vocabulary of an artist.”

Nevertheless, and notwithstanding Baldwin’s persuasive sardonicism, I’d recently written a favorable review of Hauk’s new book, “Steinbeck: The Untold Stories” (SteinbeckNow.com 2017), in Pennsylvania State University Press’s “Steinbeck Review”; and so, as far as writers go, particularly ones whom I know personally, suffice it to say, I hold Hauk in high esteem. Given the opportunity, I knew I had to set eyes on him, to study him closer, and to see if I could discern, even if only through shaking his hand, looking into his eyes, or the osmosis of being in his presence — even if only for a short time — some bit of wisdom on how to better weather the relentlessly rocky and treacherous road of being a writer.

In a sense then, I guess I was similar to author Kurt Vonnegut’s protagonist Dwayne Hoover in “Breakfast of Champions” who endeavors to talk to “the distinguished visitors to the Arts festival” just as I “wanted to talk to [Hauk] . . . to discover if [he] had truths about life which [I] had never heard before. [Because] [h]ere is what [I] hoped new truths might do for [me]: enable [me] to laugh at [my] troubles, to go on living, and to keep out of the [mental asylum].”

Over spicy fish tacos and beer then, Hauk listened to me carefully, solicitously, and without the slightest trace of ennui, or, what would have been well-deserved reproach, as I talked, and talked, and talked, about just how “hard it is to be a writer” — dishing out one insecurity after another about what it’s like to go out on a limb, devoting oneself to writing — and art.

I talked overly long about the crappy first draft of a book I’d started writing, but regrettably, hadn’t finished; I talked about a writing class that lead to my producing several short stories, most of which were very bad, but how nonetheless they’d given me a certain sense of early confidence; I talked about how, feeding off my former career as an attorney, I’d written scores of non-fiction columns in newspapers around the country calling for criminal justice reform, and principally, despite it seeming like a lost cause, for the abolition of the death penalty; I talked about writing about politics and about my blogs on our mutual favorite writer John Steinbeck (which, of course, Hauk already knew about and had read); and then, far too long after the last nacho remnant went cold, it occurred to me, that still, I was talking, this time telling Hauk about the reggae music stars I interview, and how, someday, I’d

Hauk had this in his art gallery when I visited him | Courtesy of Stephen A. Cooper like to compile all these interviews into a book — and that, particularly if I don’t get the nerve to return to fiction-writing soon — it could be my first.

The more and more I talked and kvetched, the more Hauk’s eyes crinkled and the spidery lines of his wizened face softened into a smile; his expression was paternal — though not arrogant — and pensive; patiently, he sipped on his suds, waiting for my feverish, incessant, self-indulgent chatter to end. And when, finally, I shut up and leaned back from the table, ready to listen to whatever this wise and accomplished man — this writer that I admire, might say — Hauk folded his arms, and, for a long while, he was silent, saying nothing.

Watching Hauk, waiting for him to speak, my mind unconsciously flashed back to one of his “Untold [Steinbeck] Stories” called “Judith”; it’s a rollicking tale about two young artists, Judith and Elwood, who briefly cross paths with John Steinbeck.

And then, for some reason I was sure, frankly, I was positive in that moment as I watched Hauk thinking, slowly opening his mouth to speak, that he was about to repeat the same advice he’d written in his story that Steinbeck had given to Judith and Elwood: to “go to Mexico ‘to learn to paint out loud.’”

Fortunately, however, despite my affinity for Mexico, that’s not what Hauk said — though he may as well have. Instead, signaling the waitress for the check, Hauk looked at me decisively, perhaps even a tad derisively, and said: “damn it man, you’re a writer; write!”

And so I will.

Humpty Dumpty Housing—Part 16

Would you offer yourself and your home to be a foster parent?

Wanda Sue Parrott

Homeless in Paradise Writing this column is easy. If it isn’t interesting, however, no one reads it.

So? How have I made homelessness intriguing enough to keep the column going for 191 uninterrupted weeks? Simple. I use techniques Donald Trump touts: hype and hyperboly.

Huh? Yep. Big words work. They’re attention-getters! They’re not lies, but can be innuendo.

Using metaphor helps. For instance, “Homelessness is a peninsula-wide disease.”

And simile. “Homelessness is like a malignant tumor growing across our county.”

How about this simile? “As a cancer, untreated homelessness will kill our Peninsula Paradise.”

This has been a huge week because of the election on June 5 and various local and county decisions that affect funding—and the future--of homeless issues.

I’ll report next week on questions like: Will the Safe Parking Program that allows overnight parking on the county lot of Supervisor Jane Parker be snipped like a halfopened rose?

What changes were made to the redevelopment plan voted on by the Sand City city council on June 5?

Did the Gathering for Women’s new day center make its $2.7 million goal in order to open its doors this month?

And, since the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula became a Sanctuary Congregation in May, what will it do to help COPA deal with the low-income housing crisis since the Monterey County Supervisors voted to slash funding for homeless services?

As a public servant, I provide hyperbolized headlines designed to hook readers.

Last week’s headline was “Where will all the children live after they’re found?”

Artwork citing Mother Goose’s “There was an old woman who lived in a shoe/who had so many children she didn’t know what to do/so she fed them all broth without any bread/then she whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed” tied rumored missing children with true-but-unexploited news about child trafficking.

My 750 words fire up imaginations; one of our readers researched these facts.

Facts and the Missing Children Issue

An unidentified advertiser used Mother Goose to sell expensive shoes to Depression–era poor children. “This is the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” the ad says. “Presented to all our little customers who wear silver tipped shoes, thus saving their parents $1.00 on every pair of shoes purchased for them.”

The scene looks like the shack in which a poor family lived behind the Seaside News Sentinel office at Fremont and Broadway before urban renewal kicked off Seaside’s redevelopment in 1964. Will the Salvation Army’s Sabu Shake Sr. Good Samaritan Center survive Sand City’s redevelopment?

By Rick Hadlock, Homeowner, Pacific Grove Parrott made a number of disturbing allusions: these children being used as sex slaves, trafficked to pimps, sold to childless adults, rooting through the garbage, sleeping in lettuce fields, sleeping in shoebox-size places with no personal space.

These scary and unfounded allusions misrepresent the facts, and by innuendo condemn a well intended DHS plan to cope with minor children who are illegal aliens.

Clearly there is a problem with minors who have entered the US illegally. How do you care for them? From October to December 2017, the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement attempted to reach, by a phone call, 7,635 unaccompanied minors and/or their sponsors.

Of the 7,635 children: 6,075 remained with their sponsors; 28 had run away; 5 had been deported; 52 relocated to live with a non-sponsor;1,475 could not be reached.

These children are not lost. Their sponsors, who are usually parents or family members who have been vetted for criminality and ability to provide for them, simply did not respond or could not be reached when a telephone call was made to them.

Some sponsors are themselves here illegally and don’t want to be contacted by authorities.

Why are these minors placed with sponsors instead of kept with their parents? In many cases it is because their parents are in jail for violating US immigration law, or for other reasons.

Is the government forcibly separating children from their families at the border? Perhaps.

Clearly over 80 percent of the children are being cared for; we don’t know about the 19.3 percent whose sponsors have not been contacted. Most people would come up with a similar program to cope with a very difficult problem.

Parrott did not offer alternative solutions, but I’d be most interested to hear her ideas.

And to our community, how many of you would offer yourself and your home to be foster parents?

Artist’s rendering of future mixed-use area of Sand City features one or more hotels, retail shops and several hundred residential units. Expected to triple or I think this column answers Rick’s questions about my ideas; share yours by con- quadruple Sand City’s current population, DBO’s redevelopment project, aptacting Rick Hadlock at myster_h@yahoo.com . proved with modifications on June 5 by the city council, raises questions like: Dialogue keeps the American press free.

How will traffic be impacted? Where will work-force families live if housing costs This isn’t political hype or hyperbole. It’s plain old red-white-and-blue truth! skyrocket beyond minimum-wage means? What will happen to the homeless after the anticipated completion date of around 2025? ould offer yourself and your

Poetry Imagine, once All clocks had noses.

They were quite fond of Smelling roses.

Between the hours They found crevasses, That’s where timelessness Had their presmises.

And not just roses, All kinds of flowers.

They found breaks Between the hours.

Where it practiced Its magic powers, And where the clocks Could smell the flowers.

They hated rendering their services.

They hated their Frontal services Displaying Arabic And Roman numerals Men called them faces.

Men could be humorous.

The clocks preferred Just smelling roses And to spite their faces Cut off their noses.

Pairing Wine with Guinea Pig Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Maido, Lima, Peru This postcard comes to you from Lima, Peru. I came down to Lima for a work trip…I have been fascinated by Peru for years and was thrilled at the opportunity to visit. Not only does Peru have a rich history of ancient civilizations, but also, Peruvian cuisine is considered one of the best in the world. In fact, as I was reading up on Peru, I found that three of the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” are in Lima, the capital of Peru.

Two of those three make the top ten.

It also so happened that my 30th birthday was on the first Saturday I was down there and I didn’t have to work on the weekend. So, you can bet that I tried to make reservations at the two top restaurants in Lima. And you also might be able imagine that those restaurants are filled months in advance. Thus, I registered for the waiting list for Maido and even had to give my credit card information to hold my space on the waiting list! Maido is a Japanese and Peruvian fusion restaurant, the chef is Peruvian-born to Japanese parents. There are many Japanese-Peruvians, in fact Alberto Fujimori, president of Peru from 1990-2000 is of Japanese descent. Also, there is some overlap with the abundance of seafood in Peru and Japan, they do, after all, share the same ocean front.

On Saturday—the day of my not-confirmed reservation—and birthday, I ate a light breakfast, anticipating lunch. I dressed up and put on make-up and jewelry and walked down to the restaurant arriving seven minutes before my not-reservation. I checked in at the host stand and told them I didn’t have a reservation but I was on the waiting list. The host informed me that I was not on the waiting list. If I hadn’t received a confirmation e-mail yesterday then I wasn’t on the waiting list.

“I see. Well, today’s my birthday and I’m here from abroad on business, might you have a table by chance?” I said in Spanish with a huge smile.

“For how many?”

“One.” “Are you OK with the bar?”

“Sure.”

“Right this way, señorita,” he led me up a spiral staircase.

He helped me take off my coat, pulled out the bar chair and tucked me in and someone else put the napkin on my lap. A third person brought me a drink menu but I told them I would like to do the tasting menu with wine pairing. I don’t think they were expecting that from me or from someone sitting at the bar because the gentleman seemed shocked and took the menus away. A young lady, who would pour my wine for the rest of the meal and donned bright red lipstick came over with a tray that had six beautiful glasses for sake and told me to choose one. I chose a blue ceramic one. I introduced myself to the guy sitting next to me who was on his 6th (of 11) course and had rosy cheeks from wine. His name was John and he was an engineer from Dallas.

The guy next to him was Luigi, a plastic surgeon from Ecuador and the couple on my left were from Colombia.

They brought me a warm wash cloth to clean my hands and filled my metal cup with sparkling water. It was really nice not ordering from a menu, just having things

appear in front of me. The lady with the red lipstick came from my right and over my right shoulder poured sake, she showed me the bottle and told me about the sake, where it came from and what made it unique. As soon as she said “enjoy” the first course appeared from my left, over my left shoulder and was placed in front of me. The waiter who was responsible for me put it down in front of me and began to explain the dish.

When he was done telling me about the food he said, “please go ahead” and disappeared.

This went on, like clockwork for the next two and a half hours and eleven courses + wine pairing. One course was pork belly on steamed bread served with a Belgian triple ale. Another was cuy (guinea pig), fried and delicious. Everyone around me left as I savored every bite, slowly. I chatted with the sushi chefs about the food and asked if they got to eat it every day. At the very end after nine savory courses and two desserts, a different waiter came from my left, “Feliz Cumpleaños, Señorita Sally,” (happy birthday, Miss Sally) he said as he placed a slab of granite with a basket of churros stuffed with dulce de leche (caramel) and a wooden box, filled with ice cream and a pink candle. I was overcome with gratitude and thought of my mom—she insists that you have to have cake on your birthday, this wasn’t cake but there was a candle and my mama would be happy that her daughter was being taken care of, albeit thousands of miles away. I sat there staring at the churros and opened the box of ice cream and looked inside, then I closed it again. I touched the frosting that spelled out “happy birthday Sally,” and licked my finger, it was delicious. The man who had brought me the churros eventually said, “miss, you have to blow the candle out.” And I burst into laughter, I was so caught up in my head that I had forgotten that I was supposed to eat the dessert. This has never happened to me before, I don’t forget to eat dessert.

Well my beloved hometown, here’s to another lap around the sun. Thank you all for reading my column and supporting me. If you want to read more, please visit www. sallybaho.com
