School Resource Officer Agreement Reached Between City, Schools
Mention that you want good Mexican food, and a lot of locals will point you to Michael’s Taqueria. This week they celebrated their 30th anniversary. You don’t stay in business for 30 years if you make so-so burritos! Above, left to right, are Michael Butson, the founder, who flew in from Austin, TX to celebrate; Lidia Miranda, and Jose Barajas, today’s owner. Michael’s is located in the Fairway Center on Forest Avenue, at the corner of David and Forest. Photo by Peter Mounteer
Schools are supposed to be pseudo sanctuaries where students can learn and grow, with a little time to horse around during lunch time thrown in for good measure. Pacific Grove Unified School District, in collaboration with the City of Pacific Grove, are continuing their efforts to keep classrooms calm and safe by agreeing to provide a Safety Resource Officer (SRO) to serve Pacific Grove schools for the academic year. The SRO for the 2016-2017 school year will be Billy Hawkins, an officer who has served in the Pacific Grove Police Department for three years. The agreement between the district and the city to use the PGPD officer was announced and discussed at the school board meeting on June 30. Though the technical writing that contains the agreement details is a long and lengthy (which can be seen on the Agenda and Board Packets section of the district website), don’t confuse this for some revolutionary proposal, it’s all normal protocol. Pacific Grove schools, mainly Pacific Grove High, have had a police presence for many years. Parents picking up students at high schools and middle schools may consider cop cruisers a fixture of the school, like school buses boarding kids. But just because it’s been a common practice it doesn’t mean

Lion King- Page 20
Chelsie Hill, center, was rendered a quadraplegic seven years ago. Last week she launched a line of stylish jeans designed specifically for wheelchair users, with special cuts for people who must sit in a wheelchair. Chelsie, now living in Los Angeles, visited her hometown, Pacific Grove to announce the launch. In conjunction with a company called Endless Ability Enterprises, the new product line debuted July 4, 2016.
Pacific Grove native, Chelsie Hill, has always loved fashion, beauty and style. The wheelchair-bound 24-year-old with an indomitable spirit recently began rolling on her newest adventure, designing stylish jeans for women who use wheelchairs. “This is a whole new journey for me,” she said. “But if I can help more people, that’s my thing. I want people who are newly injured to know that they can still be stylish. They can be sexy in a wheelchair. They can still be who they are despite the fact that they’re rolling.” Working with Endless Ability Enterprises, owned by Antonio Quistian, Jr., in Los Angeles, Hill is heading up the women’s side of the business that has been designing jeans for male wheelchair users for several years. “This has been awesome,” said Hill. “It’s a huge learning experience for me. I’m so excited about these jeans. I feel like I’m on Cloud Nine the last few months. I’m a firm believer in ‘for the people, by the people’ and I love to support something like this.” The mission of Endless Ability Enterprises is to help those living with a disability understand that their abilities can remain endless. Their clothing is designed to be fashionable while being accessible.

By modifying and adapting their jeans to provide a high-rise rear, lowered front pockets, longer lengths to reach the ankles while sitting, extra-durable belt loops, removal of rivets or buttons which could cause pressure sores, and employing soft, stretchy fabric, the jeans become ideal for those using wheelchairs. Hill’s eye for detail has helped create stylish looks while incorporating the necessary adaptations. “When you sit down, pants come up in the front at the ankles and become like highwaters,” she said. “For someone who is sitting down all the time, we don’t want that, so these are longer in the front by the ankles. And our belt loops are a lot stronger than regular jeans. You know how when you put on jeans, you pull them up by the belt loops. I have personally snapped the loops off because I pull the same ones all the time to get them on and off.” Ability Jeans for Her, Styles by C.H., were officially launched on July 4, 2016. “We’ve had an amazing response this past week,” said Hill. “Some of my personal friends have never worn jeans before. They’ve never worn ripped jeans or white jeans or black jeans. I want to make jeans for them. You don’t realize that it’s the small things that a lot of my friends would love to do. They’d love to be able to wear ripped jeans. I want people to be able to feel comfortable and not have to feel like they always have to wear leggings. One girl on my dance team has only worn leggings. I want to make jeans for her so she can feel stylish.” This spunky young entrepreneur has been living in Los Angeles since 2014 and visits Pacific Grove whenever her busy schedule allows. A lifelong dancer, Hill was competing at State and National levels prior to a car accident that left her a T-10 paraplegic at age 17. Her never-give-up attitude led her to found the Walk and Roll Foundation, start one of the biggest wheelchair dance teams in the world, appear on Sundance Channel’s reality show “Push Girls,” and publish a book. When she’s not designing jeans, she is teaching dance classes in Burbank, making concept videos, and she performed on July 10th with the LA Sparks dance team at the Staples Center for a half-time performance.

Former PGPD Commander Takes the Reins in Winters
Planning Commissioner and Former Prosecutor Announces Campaign for City Council
Pacific Grove Planning Commissioner and former Deputy District Attorney Nick Smith will run for Pacific Grove City Council in the November 8, 2016 election. For the past two years, Smith has worked with his fellow commissioners to develop the City of Pacific Grove’s planning and land use policy during a very active and complex period of long-range planning and zoning. Smith says he values greatly his time on the Planning Commission, which has provided excellent experience for the position he seeks on the City Council. Smith is known as a skilled problem-solver, communicator, and consensus-builder, able to work with others with varying perspectives to achieve goals. On the Planning Commission, Smith has used his legal training and problem-solving approach to address complex issues. Born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley, Smith developed a passion for public service and government early in life. He moved to the Central Coast to attend the University of California, Santa Barbara where he earned a B.A., with honors, in political science. After earning his law degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law, Smith served for seven years as a deputy district attorney in Santa Barbara County. There he handled a variety of criminal matters, including domestic violence, sexual assault, theft and narcotics related crimes. For the past three years, Smith has practiced civil litigation, helping local businesses and public entities on the Monterey Peninsula resolve conflicts and solve problems. Smith has successfully defended numerous lawsuits brought against both local businesses and public entities, including cities. He is currently an attorney with Lozano Smith, LLP in Monterey, a leading California public
Nick Smith agency law firm. Smith’s current practice in public agency law applies directly to service in local government and he intends to use his expertise in this area to help the City achieve its goals. Smith moved to Pacific Grove in 2013 with his wife, Allison, who was raised on the Peninsula and attended Pacific Grove schools. They have three young daughters and are actively involved in the City’s schools, programs, and special events. In addition to serving on the Planning Commission, Smith serves on the Board of Directors of the Monterey County Bar Association. He is a former treasurer of that organization.

Miller will begin as Chief in August. Miller will replace Joseph Kreins who has served as Interim Chief since December, 2015 and Sergio Gutierrez who served since 2011. The appointment of Miller follows an almost six-month recruitment process which included 34 applicants from California and surrounding states. The process include professional screening by an executive search firm, interview panels including a Winters Community Panel and a final interview and background review. Miller comes to the police chief position with almost 25 years in California law enforcement including service as a police officer with the cities of Vacaville, Fairfield and Vallejo and serving as a Commander with the Pacific Grove Police Department. He began his career as a reserve with the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department. His training includes all POST level Certifications and attendance at the FBI National Academy. He has served as an instructor at the Napa Criminal Justice Training Center. His education includes an undergraduate degree from CSU Hayward and a Master’s Degree in public administration from Golden Gate University. In announcing the hire, Donlevy said “Miller will bring the perfect balance of working with the community and training police officers to help move Winters PD to that next level of law enStreet.pdf 1 6/6/2016 1:27:41 PM forcementEVITA and- Cedar public service.” He also
Former PGPD Commander John Miller, soon to be chief of police in Winters said, “during the interview process, John showed his knowledge of Winters and the importance that community policing and effectively training police officers can lead to building a strong sense of public safety within a community. As Chief, I am certain that John Miller will bring a strong background to support the development of our police officers to build the type of Police Department Winters deserves.” Miller will be introduced to the City Council at the July 19 regular meeting. An official swearing-in ceremony will be scheduled for a date to be determined. For more information, John Donlevy can be reached at 530-794-9710.

Cop Log Cop Log 7-1-16 to 7-8-16 Got the stuff back A person who had shoplifted from a business on Lighthouse was apprehended and the merchandise returned. Going nowhere A vehicle was towed from Evans Ave., a city street, for having an expired license for longer than six months. Bark, bark, bark report Little dog needs to take an example Neighbors on Sinex complained about a little dog barking in the early morning hours. It barked for 10 minutes as ACO tried to get someone to answer the door or the phone, to no avail. Home was secure but a big dog door was available and big dog inside wasn’t barking. Officer convinced the little dog to go inside and then blocked the door with lawn furniture to prevent it going outside and disturbing the neighbors. Contact information left for owner(s). Bust out A dog found at Spanish Bay was brought to the police station. Pebble Beach Security notified. The pet sitter was contacted and said the dog “busted out” through a fence. Owners are out of the country. Pet sitter retrieved the dog. Attack of alcohol Officers responded to a woman knocking on doors and saying she was attacked and was being followed. She was found to be under the influence of alcohol and unable to care for herself. DUI Martin Rosales was contacted on Ocean View Blvd. For a traffic stop and found to be under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license. He was arrested, booked at PGPD, and released on a cite to appear. Theft of personal electronics A person reported someone had gained access to their apartment on Grove Acre, stole an MP# and a digital camera, and exited. Here we go again. Can you spell L-O-C-K? Theft of personal property from an unlocked vehicle on 17th St. Theft of personal items from an unlocked residence on Seaview which the family was asleep. Victim reported their unlocked vehicle was rummaged on 14th St. Apparently nothing was taken but the battery was dead. Theft of property from unlocked storage contained in vehicle on Lighthouse. When is a locker not a locker? Theft of golf clubs from unlocked locker reported on Asilomar. Bicycle stolen from an unlocked garage on David Ave. Hit and run on parked vehicle On Fountain Ave., a vehicle owner noticed after several days that he parked vehicle had been the victim of a collision. No info was left. That’ll wreak havoc with your stored stuff Monterey Fire requested police assistance in entering a residence on 17th St. to take care of a water leak. The water had originated in a bathroom and had filled the basement to a depth of 2-3 inches. Monterey Fire removed most of the water with a great huge sucking machine. Owner and tenant were both out of town but said they were due back on July 4th. Unregistered false alarms An unregistered alarm sounded on Grove Acre. Officers responding were told by a neighbor the owners were out of town and they were house- and petsitting. Another unregistered alarm sounded on Ocean view. The housekeeper didn’t have the code. “You were arguing.” “No we weren’t.” There was a noise complaint about some people arguing on Asilomar Ave. The people involved said they weren’t arguing, that the walls were too thin. Did he deserve it? A couple were having an argument on Arkwright Ct. The female threw a beer can and broke the male’s rearview mirror, and doesn’t want to pay to have it repaired.
Funeral home offers way to express condolences over Dallas shootings
“Even though miles separate us from Dallas, we want the Monterey Bay community to have a way to pay their respects for the fallen officers,” said an official of Mission Mortuary. Mission Memorial Park & Seaside Funeral Home and Mission Mortuary believe that all lives matter. That is why we will have register books available for Monterey County residents to sign in support of five police officers slain in Dallas Friday night. The books are for people who want to pay their respects to officers’ families. They may simply sign their name, or leave messages of condolences. “This is one way we can show support to the families and organizations affected by this terrible tragedy,” the official added. The register books will be available at two funeral home locations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through July 18. The locations are: Mission Mortuary: 450 Camino El Estero, Monterey Mission Memorial Park & Seaside Funeral Home: 1915 Ord Grove Ave., Seaside Pacific Grove Police Dept., Pine and Forest in Pacific Grove For additional information, call (831) 394-1481.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute Receives $75,000 Grant Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) has announced that the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) was awarded $75,000 by the National Science Foundation. The funding will support research to understand the relationship between our atmosphere with warming temperatures and ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean environment. The grant will also support an early career scientist, three Ph.D. students and engage several undergraduate students. “The Central Coast is home to one of the highest concentrations of ocean research institutions in the world,” said
Rep. Farr. “Understanding our oceans and climate change is critical work and I’m thrilled to announce federal funding is headed to MBARI.” "We are delighted that the National Science Foundation has provided funding for this important research that will improve our ability to predict how the Arctic sea ice and ocean will fare in the future," said Francisco Chavez, biological oceanographer at MBARI. MBARI is a non-profit world-class research institution where scientists and engineers work together to develop new instruments and methods for studying the ocean.
PRESOURCE OFFICER From Page 1
the SRO’s responsibilities are any less relevant and necessary today. Some of officer Hawkins’s duties as an SRO include regular police requirements like wearing proper uniform and listening to the police radio on and off campus. Other requirements are purposefully school-centric such as producing class presentations that touch on issues including community-police relations, abstaining from drugs and alcohol, rules of search and seizure, and urging students to get involved in youth programs. Just like outside school grounds, when an SRO sees behaviors that pose a risk to safety—perhaps a group fight or individuals making threats to students or staff , it’s their role to bring order and afterwards notify the school principal or superintendent of violations of school codes. The presence of an officer is also meant to make students feel safe. Other requirements in the agreement consist of the SRO writing monthly logs and meeting weekly with the School Safety Officer, and a bi-monthly meeting with the Police Commander, Police Supervisors, and school principals. Hawkins will have an office at Pacific Grove High School, but his duty to preserve school peace will take him to every school in town serving everyone from tweens at Pacific Grove Middle School to any troublemaking children of elementary school age. “The SRO will mainly be at the high school,” says Rick Miller, Assistant Superintendent, “it’s a proactive step for several reasons: It gets students familiar with local law enforcement and it’s a way to curb drug use and occasional fights. Students are less likely to commit offenses when an officer is on campus.” And be on campus he will, as specified in the agreement, the city will provide the SRO for all 180 days of the school year, for 8 hours a day—with a 30-minute lunchtime. The cost will be split between the district and city. The district will pay $61,402 to the city for the SRO’s term from August 1, 2016 through July 31, 2016. The daily rate of $341.42 will not be charged to the district if the SRO needs to take a sick day, but if he has to go to court on school business, it’s payable.

Syrian Tabouli
In food and memories of shared meals, I find comfort and hope for the future. Sally Baho
Post Cards from the Kitchen Syria It has taken me a long time to be able to write about Syria despite it being home to my soul. Syria occupies my brain space the majority of the day and I have learned to suppress the worry and heartbreak in order to maintain a somewhat sane life and attend to my job and daily duties without having an anxiety attack or a nervous breakdown. But I learned from a young age that trying to suppress a feeling somehow works in reverse, the act of denying yourself to feel feeds the very emotion that needs to be addressed. Growing up, my mom carted us kids back to her Damascus every summer she could, it was important that we not lose the language, culture, our roots, or miss out on relationships with our family members. We would leave our friends -- foregoing American summer camps and missing 4th of July BBQs to visit our family, spice markets, and labyrinthine streets of the old city. Being that we visited in the summer, the cousins were out of school and we spent many an afternoon at the pool in the hot sun and lingered over long lunches rife with salads and side dishes that filled you up before the main course even arrived. Alas, I share here with you a recipe for tabouli from my beloved Syria because in food and memories of shared meals, I find comfort and hope for the future. Syrian Tabouli (parsley & bulgar salad) 1 tbsp finely ground bulgar (bulgar #1), dry bulgar, do not soak in water 1 finely diced tomato Juice of 1 lemon, more or less 2 green onions, finely chopped 2 bunches finely chopped parsley 2 tsp. fresh and/or dried spearmint, to taste* Olive oil, to taste Salt, to taste Wash the parsley and lay out to dry. Place the bulgar in a large bowl (the bowl you will make the entire salad in). Dice the tomato very finely and pour it and all of its juice over the bulgar to soak. Meanwhile, “pick” the parsley, that is, arrange all of the parsley so that the bottom of the leaves are aligned and the stalks are in a bundle; when this is done, cut off the stalks and discard, and finely chop the parsley. (Traditionally this is done with a mezzaluna knife such that the parsley is chopped very finely.) Add finely chopped parsley and onion to bulgar/tomato mix. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and mint. Notes: Syrian tabouli is made dry – not having a “sauce” versus Lebanese tabbouleh, which isn’t considered made well unless it has a “zoom” – the extra liquid that the tabouli sits soaking in. Tabouli is best enjoyed with arak – the anise flavoured spirit that when mixed with water becomes a milky white color. Enjoy! *Every cook prepares her tabouli differently, depending on whether she has fresh spearmint on hand or her preference for the taste of dried spearmint, this is up to the chef’s discretion.

respond to the County of Monterey’s Request For Qualifications to manage the Laguna Seca Recreation Area. The Friends have filed for 501(C)3 status. The Friends board includes people with key expertise in fiscal management, fundraising, planning, construction, design and motorsports. One name familiar to SCRAMP members is Bruce Canepa, once a member of the board and instrumental in bringing the Rennsport Classic event to the track. He has also driven the track, particularly at the Reunion race. He said in a press release, “Not only is our team deeply involved in this community, we know racing! We have excellent relationships in motorsports and will bring new event and partnership ideas to the table.” Canepa added that the group brings “...a passion for motorsports, a dedication to our community, and a desire to transform nearly six decades of renowned racing legacy into a new engine for our local economy. Ultimately, our aim is to restore the raceway’s former glory.” How would they do it? The old-fashioned way. They’d earn it with renegotiated sanctioning fees, increased attendance, astute purchasing, facilities improvements and more, they say. Friends’ team is led by General Manager Lauri Eberhart, a nationally recognized leader in speedway management and motorsports. Also a lawyer, she says she was raised in a racing environment and vows that the Friends team, if allowed to do so, would revitalize and modernize the track. “It’s in our charter that all profits go back into the track,” she said. Its board also includes longtime business and community leaders with a history of Laguna Seca racing. Gordon McCall is recognized locally 0particularly for founding the Quail motorsports events, including the Motorcycle Gathering recently held. Eberhart said, “Our goal is to incorporate modern trends in motorsports and bring new energy and ideas that can serve the surrounding business community. Equally important, we recognize and value the vital role of dedicated volunteers and how their participation benefits local philanthropy.” No proposal has been made thus far by the Friends as to the incorporation of SCRAMP itself into future plans. Other board members include Ned Spieker, Jonathan Feiber, Ross Merrill, and Thomas Minnich, each recognized for business acumen as well as their interest in motorsports and particularly Laguna Seca Raceway. The County of Monterey is in the process of evaluating the RFQs and will select a company to operate the Laguna Seca Recreation Area in the near future. Presentations will be made by the candidates over July 25-26.

Armed and Dangerous Tom Stevens
Otter Views An account in Monday’s Herald about an “intervention and diversion” group for inner-city Philadelphia youths explored what has become a life-and-death question for black males in America. What to do if you encounter the police? “Stay out of their way, that’s what I think about,” 15-year-old Nahkai Wright reportedly told the group. “Be ready to leave. I gotta make sure I don’t die.” Added Xavier Revell, also 15: “I try to keep cool. If the cops come, keep my mouth closed. Say ‘yes, sir, no sir.’ If they put their hands on you, don’t attack.” Javon Grant, 14, said his plan is to get away from police quickly. “People are getting shot every day,” he said. “I’ll walk on the other side of the street. I will run. I don’t know what they’re gonna do.” One of the group’s mentors, Joseph Douglas, 41, said staying alive is his priority in any police encounter. “I’ve never got time to get pulled over, but I always have time to survive,” Douglas told the younger men. “The more I talk, the greater chance something bad is going to happen to me. My thing is: ‘How can I get this cop away from me as fast as possible? What can I do to minimize this interaction?’” Erase the words “police” or “cop,” and these men could be talking about grizzly bears, mountain lions, or some other alpha predator. Avoid them in you can. If not, keep a low profile. Stay silent and non-threatening until you can move away from the beast. The latest burst of killings by police, and of police, has added new fuel to long-burning issues of bias, brutality, and injustice in American law enforcement. Are police, as during last week’s Dallas protests, the public’s sworn protectors? Or are they, as the young Philadelphia men suggest, unpredictable killers? American men (and boys) of color have long viewed the police in the same way desperados were once described: “armed and dangerous.” In Afro-American memoirs, writers refer to this as part of “The Talk” every black parent has with a child, particularly a son. No matter who you are, where you’re going or what you’re doing, you are a suspect. The rest of the nation has been slow to acknowledge this perspective, but communications technology is changing that. Out of the camera’s eye, fatal apprehensions have routinely been justified by police and the courts as “self-defense” or “suspect resisting arrest.” The killers invariably walk. But now that cell phones with video cameras are everywhere, cracks are showing in the “resisting arrest” shibboleth. Weekly, if not daily, Americans watch online as police kill black males running away, black males selling CDs or cigarettes, black males walking home from school, black males who didn’t replace a car taillight. There’s nothing new here except internet exposure. Murders, rapes, linchings, floggings, enslavement and a hundred other brutalities have been visited upon black Americans for centuries, usually with the law’s complicity. As “The Talk” suggests, it’s understandable those who enforce the law are to be feared and avoided. No, “blue-on-black” killings, like campus and movie house shootings and gay nightclub slaughters, are not exceptional in today’s insane, heavily armed America. But even the most jaded Americans reeled last week as a military-trained black sniper gunned down a dozen people in Dallas, 10 of them white police officers, five of those fatally. Before his own death, the shooter told negotiators he was avenging earlier police killings of black men. Media commentators called him deranged, but like many mass murderers, he was cool, focused, prepared and methodical. He knew what he was doing and why. Many readers won’t remember 1968, but I do. That spring, Martin Luther King was assassinated in Tennessee, and a dozen inner cities rioted and burned. There were casualties, but it could have been worse. Sniper rifles, assault weapons and other military-style arms weren’t nearly as commonplace then as they are today. As America nears the midpoint of this long, hot, troubling summer, how many more blue-on-black killings or black-on-blue reprisals will we watch live-streamed before “the center cannot hold?” Will the cities burn again? Will rioters pack the streets? Will the police return to pre-Ferguson armaments and battle tactics? These are sketchy times, but they’re not unprecedented. As in 1968, America is bitterly divided racially, socially and politically; mired in a punishing and seemingly endless Asian war; and headed into national elections with “yuge!” consequences. Whether the cities explode this summer or the political conventions erupt in 1968-style skull-cracking chaos may depend on effective policing and citizen self-restraint. If either of those falters, Katy bar the door. Alternatively, the various factions could simply do as the Philadelphia teens advise. Avoid each other. Move away from the beast.

Little Orphant Annie Jane Roland
Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts When I was a little girl my mother read to me from the classics. Through my childhood I was obsessed by books that many today know nothing about. Not to denigrate Harry Potter or “The Hunger Games,” todays’ revered of the same type of genre. Some of the old timers have survived such as the Alcott and Twain books, but there were also Dumas and Dickens, Baroness Ortszky, Kingsley, and Booth Tarkington who have faded in popularity unless modernized. There were also the poems, beloved by Mother. I was thinking about our little dog, Annie and the origin of her name. Orphan Annie evolved from a poem written by James Whitcomb Riley in 1885, published under the name of the “Elf Child.” He changed the name to “Little Orphant Allie” and a typesetting error in the third printing changed it to “Annie.” The subject was inspired by Mary Alice “Allie” Smith, an orphan living in the Riley home during her childhood. ITTLE Orphant Annie’s come to our house to stay, An’ wash the cups an’ saucers up, an’ brush the crumbs away, An’ shoo the chickens off the porch, an’ dust the hearth, an’ sweep, An’ make the fire, an’ bake the bread, an’ earn her board-an’-keep; An’ all us other childern, when the supper-things is done, We set around the kitchen fire an’ has the mostest fun A-list’nin’ to the witch-tales ‘at Annie tells about, An’ the Gobble-uns ‘at gits you Ef you Don’t Watch Out! On Sunday mornings my father and I read the comics together. “Little Orphan Annie” was a daily American comic strip created by Harold Gray (1894–1968) and syndicated by the Tribune Media Services. The strip took its name from Riley’s 1885 poem and made its debut in 1924 in the New York Daily News. It ranked number one in popularity in a Fortune poll in 1937.Uncle Don, who was a popular broadcaster in the 30s, would read the comic strips to children on the radio, The affable host finished telling his last story of the day, wished a good night to all the children in his audience, and sang his familiar sign-off ditty. Sadly, as the station went to a commercial break, he leaned back in his chair, sighed, and said to no one in particular, “There, that ought ahold the little bastards!” Unfortunately for the ill-fated host, the engineer was late in cutting to the station break, and the host’s disparaging remark was picked up by the still-open microphone and broadcast into millions of homes. The station was immediately flooded with thousands of telegrams from outraged listeners, and the humiliated host was fired before the day was out, never to broadcast again. Disgraced beyond redemption, he lived out the rest of his life in obscurity and died, an impoverished drunk, several years later. Then came Annie the musical, based on the popular strip. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre). It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical’s songs “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard Knock Life” are among its most popular musical numbers. There have been at least two movies, and local productions all over the world. In fact our daughter, Jennie, starred in Junipero Serra’s offering at The Wharf Theater in Monterey. Many years ago one of my closest friends, Alice Long, who lived in the Country Club area of Pebble Beach adopted her “Annie.” She was a small Aussie mix pooch. Alice’s daughter, Alexandra, had been driving on the freeway in Los Angeles. The rain was coming in buckets, cars were skidding, and there was no visibility. Suddenly Alexandra said to her husband “pull over, pull over”. Huddled against the wall was a little dog, Dan went ahead, pulled off the freeway turned around and headed back to the dog. They scooped her up and took her home. After numerous ads and visits to the vets she was deemed adoptable. Since they had any number of animals they decided that the Longs needed the dog and she went to live with Alice and Dick. Another Annie an adorable Chihuahua - Papillion mix came into our shop when we were still on 17th St.. Pat Stites was at the desk with her wonderful old dog Harley. The people who had the little dog could no longer keep her and hoped that AFRP could find a home. What happened next has occurred before: The animal did not go to the Adoption Center, but became part of our volunteer staff, Pat, her mother and Harley her brother. When Pat moved away, Harley had gone to the pastures of heaven and Annie went with Pat. We hear from them and they are doing well. Our Annie was found in a field in Marina and had been there a couple of days, matted, covered with bugs and sores. She was rescued by an animal shelter; Sandy at AFRP was contacted. The little dog was taken to the Animal Friends’ vet, her picture was posted and the rest is history. Last October, we brought home Little Orphan Annie. Annie volunteers a couple of days at the shop, more if needed and is walked all over town by her best friend, Mike Kirch. She and Toby the cat are great friends (not so much Sammy the other feline). So, there are Annie animals…Annie people, Leibowitz, Oakley, Many Anne’s and Ann’s that became Annie’s but Little Orphant started with James Whitcomb Riley. And this is your slice of trivial history for the week. Stop by and look at our Feast of Lanterns window…Designed and created by Frank Quilantang, the master of creativity.

In Elmarie Dyke’s Own Words
The Water Ballet of the Feast of Lanterns, 1958
By Dixie Layne
© Dixie Layne 2016 It was January 1958, when then Pacific Grove Mayor Frank Shropshire asked Councilman Clyde F. Dyke if he would chair the committee to revive the Feast of Lanterns as an annual summer event. Councilman Dyke agreed, and the first thing he did as Committee Chair was to enlist his wife, Elmarie, to assist him with this project. Armed with only blank sheets of paper and her trusty typewriter, Elmarie Dyke began the process of unfolding what such a modern day Feast of Lanterns might look like in the summer of 1958. Drawing heavily on her experience in the performing arts, her memories of participating in the summer retreat known as Chautauqua Assembly in her youth, and the elaborate two-day Butterfly Pageant of the 1940s, Elmarie used her words to create a picture of the “new” Feast of Lanterns. With vision in hand, her husband and Committee Chair Clyde Dyke invited city and community leaders to join the team. One of the first people Elmaire reached out to bring the Feast of Lanterns vision to life was the Mayor’s wife, Helen Shropshire, who was at the time executive director of the Miss Monterey County Pageant, a subsidiary of the Miss America organization. Thus is the origins of the Royal Court; a host of talented, smart, beautiful co-eds from the Miss Monterey County Pageant. With the full support and participation of the City Council, these community leaders organized two full days of activities – a something for everyone Feast of Lanterns. There were a wide range of performances, from Chinese shadow puppets, choral groups, folk dancers, and Herb Miller’s orchestra playing big band music on the beach to events like a ham dinner, golf contest, and water ballet– with, of course, the presentation of the Royal Court and coronation of Queen Topaz on the pier, followed by a lighted boat parade and fireworks over the cove.
Right: The parade to the beach Saturday evening was led by the local Masons’ marching band and Pacific Grove High School majorettes with Queen Topaz carried in her sedan chair by local dignitaries and escorted by the Princesses.
Below: 1958 Feast of Lanterns Committee Meeting at Grove Pharmacy (Dyke’s Drugs). Those sitting on the left side of the photo are sitting at the Pharmacy’s popular soda fountain.
Amongs all the fabulous events presented over the two-day festival, there was one so popular that two performances were scheduled – one Saturday night and another Sunday afternoon. This event took place in the salt water plunge (pool) at Lovers Point; it was the Feast of Lanterns Water Ballet – described below in Elmarie’s own words. Just as this Water Ballet captured the imagination of the public in 1958, it continues to intrigue many of those who have seen some of the ballet’s photos from nearly 60 years ago.

Pacific Grove Water Ballet for July 26th and 27th Feast of Lanterns
Times • Page 11
By Elmarie Hyler Dyke, 1958 Several nights a week a group of 24 enthusiastic young lady swimmers defy fog, wind and chill in order to perfect a water ballet for the Feast of Lanterns. Their program will be given on Saturday evening as part of the program to be presented at the crowning of Miss Gail Maitre. The ballet will be repeated on Sunday afternoon, July 27th. Full as enthusiastic as the girls is their capable instructor, Mrs. Fern V. Baker, wife of MSgt. Vernon J. Baker. Mrs. Baker is donating her time for this work, which the committee headed by Councilman Clyde F. Dyke, believes will prove on of the attractions at the two day celebration. Mrs. Baker started teaching swimming at the Y.M.C.A. when she was 12 years old, with a team of girls belonging to the Young Women’s Christian Association in New York City. She was a junior swim counselor at Camp Ironsides in Bear mountain, New York until she was old enough to become Waterfront Director, which position she held for eight years at the Y.W.C.A. of Orange and Montclair, New Jersey. Later Mrs. Baker was director of girls’ and womens’ swimming at the Y.M.C.A. in Montclair. Moving to the Monterey Peninsula Fern Baker became Waterfront Director at Camp Loma for the Monterey Peninsula Girl Scouts in the summer of 1954. In addition to the above experience five years were spent at the above locations in teaching water ballet. Her personal career has included competition for form swimming and diving.

One weekend of music and laughter with ‘The Addams Family’ at Outdoor Forest Theater
Paraphrase Productions, the Monterey Peninsula’s newest theatre production company comprised of local high school and college-age students, is performing a one-weekend-only production of The Addams Family, July 21-24, at the Outdoor Forest Theatre. The musical, which opened on Broadway in 2010, depicts a ghoulish American family with an affinity of all things macabre. Though characters such as Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley and Uncle Fester may be familiar to the audience from the 1960’s television show, the musical was actually based on the characters from a single panel gag cartoon from the 1930’s. The play focuses on three relationships, notes Paul Davis, co-founder of Paraphrase Productions and the show’s director. The Addams’ daughter, Wednesday, is now grown up and has fallen in love. When Wednesday and her fiancé, Lucas, visit the Addams’ mansion with his parents, all doesn’t go according to plan and all three couples’ relationships are questioned. “The overarching theme is that normal is relative’” said Davis. “All couples need to find the right kind of love and each

Filmmakers at Monterey Library
The Monterey Public Library will host filmmakers Drs. Steven and Mary Albert who will screen their newest film, “Big Sur Fog; The Science and the History” at the Monterey Public Library, on Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. The film will explain the science behind Big Sur fog and tells the tale from Big Sur’s pioneer days. The 25-minute film will be followed by a discussion by the filmmakers of more recent research and stories. Adults are invited to attend and admission is free. The Library is located at 625 Pacific Street, Monterey. For more information email mccombs@monterey.org.
that there are “happy tunes with morbid lyrics,” such as “Death is Just Around the Corner,” “Live Before We Die”, and “Move Toward the Darkness.”
A cast and crew of 19, two-thirds of whom are aspiring high school talent from Pacific Grove, Carmel, and Monterey, make up the bulk of the Paraphrase team. The theatre company’s debut production last summer, Little Shop of Horrors, played to sold-out audiences. A few of the key performers from “Little Shop” play key roles in The Addams Family, including Ty Barrett as Lucas, Taylor Rhoades as Morticia, and Jerrod Unowitz as Gomez. New to Paraphrase, Mia Park from Carmel High School, who has performed at The Western Stage, is playing Wednesday. Colin Skerrit, from Monterey High School, is playing the beloved Fester, and Justin Gaudoin is playing Lurch. Paraphrase Productions has been taken under the wing of the Forest Theatre Guild for this performance weekend. “It’s the Peninsula’s oldest theatre company nurturing the newest,” says Davis. “We’re blessed that they given us this opportunity to perform at the Forest Theatre.” Performances will be held on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors, and can be purchased online at paraphrase-productions.com.

Only West Coast Salvador Dali Museum is Now Open
By Jan Austin
With the ribbon cutting at the new Dali17 Museum on July 7, Monterey has become home to the first permanent exhibition of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. The Dali17 Museum now occupies the space where the Museum of Monterey was formerly located at the Custom House Plaza. Founder and owner of Dali17, Dmitry Piterman is Ukrainian born and currently resides in Pebble Beach. An entrepreneur who made his fortunes in sports and real estate, Piterman began collecting Dali’s works in the 1980’s and has accumulated more than 500 pieces which include paintings, etchings, sculptures and mixed media pieces. The exhibits at Dali17 are his personal collection. The first of its kind on the West Coast, Piterman’s collection has previously been

exhibited in Belgium and Spain. Dali and his wife Gala chose the Monterey area as their home for seven years off and on starting in 1941. Dividing their time between the East and West Coast, while here, they resided at the Hotel Del Monte which is now the Naval Postgraduate School. Because this was the start of the original 17-Mile Drive, the museum’s name became Dali17. “This is a place where Dali actually worked, so everything was almost destined to come here,” said Piterman. A member of the Carmel Art Association while he lived here, Dali joined with other local artists to throw a celebrity-filled surrealist dinner in 1941 that became a legendary party. Held in the Bali Room of the Hotel Del Monte, the event was titled “Night in a Surrealist Forest” and was a fund-raiser to help European artists displaced by the war. A newsreel of the dinner can be viewed on YouTube: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=vg6i4E0Woak. Photos from the party are displayed at the new museum. “We want to turn a lot of heads,” said Larry Chavez Board President of the Monterey History and Art Association. “We want to have that ‘wow’ factor.”
Above, right: Dmitry Piterman, owner of the new Dali17 museum, invites those gathered to partake of special mustache-festooned hors d’oeuvres at the opening event.

How writing a book cost Brad and Amy Herzog their jobs
Brad and Amy Herzog on their honeymoon, with an RV the sort in which they toured the United Statres each summer, writing about the joys of RVing for the RV industry. No more. Brad and Amy Herzog have been residents of Pacific Grove for 19 years. Brad is the author of more than 40 books. Among them are more than three dozen children’s books, and five adult titles. Brad has written three acclaimed travel memoirs about his travels through small-town America. “States of Mind, “ for example, related the Herzogs’ search for Harmony in Harmony, California; Love in Love, Colorado; and more. “Turn Left at the Trojan Horse” was about a search for heroes on the highways and byways (some of them very “by!”) of America. Small World is a unique tribute to the Land of the Free, featuring a world of stories he culled on his travels. He writes about tiny towns struggling to live up to their grandiose names. Recently, we wrote about the evocative “My Mantelpiece,” the co-authored memoirs of late civil rights icon Carolyn Goodman, which included a foreword by Maya Angelou. He also wrote “The Sports 100” and “The Presidents” http://www. bradherzog.com/the-presidents.html He loves this country. He has won a Mom’s Choice Award and more. Together, Brad andAmy are
co-owners of the publishing company Why Not Books, and they wrote and illustrated a satirical picture book, “D is for Dump Trump - An Anti-Hate Alphabet.” Late last month, after starting a Kickstarter campaign (http://kck.st/295Cb7Y <http://kck.st/295Cb7Y>) for the book, they were terminated as spokespeople for the RV Industry — a job they had held for the past 17 summers. Here’s their story. For 17 summers we have worked as traveling spokespeople for the RV industry, doing hundreds of local TV interviews to extol the joys and wonders of a road trip to all Americans. We know how lucky we have been to have had this opportunity, but please understand that it has been our primary source of income for nearly two decades, and we have worked damn hard to be professional in every way while promoting RVing. We have never used that platform to further any other agenda, political or otherwise. And we never would. But in a case of terrible irony, we fell victim to circumstances that can only be described as Trumpian. An industry newsletter editor got wind of our little book. [“D is for Dump Trump”] Without contacting us for any information
or fact-checking, he quickly wrote up an incendiary “opinion piece” calling for RVIA to “disavow their affiliation with these authors.” He implied (not subtly) that we were somehow using our TV interviews to promote our politics. He also went on a mean-spirited tangent, wondering why “these California liberals need other people’s money to publish a book.” But as Trump knows, the use of inflammatory code words and innuendo (however baseless) can incite the uninformed. A parade of incredibly nasty comments followed, all based on a manufactured story utilizing completely false assumptions. Sound familiar? And of course, the negative publicity about us -- although completely unmerited -- became the story. You probably know how this movie ends. Within 24 hours, right after we did yet another professional and on-message TV interview in Phoenix, and without even discussing the matter with us after 17 YEARS of service, the powers that be “terminated” our contract, effective immediately. All because, in our separate lives, we wrote a funny little picture book about the dangers
of reactionary rhetoric. Ironic enough for you? It sucks. We’re still reeling from this and are obviously worried about our road ahead. But we’re doing okay, and we have each other, and we still have the courage of our convictions. So we’re doubling down. We are going to do all that we can to promote our “D is for Dump Trump” project. Now more than ever, we feel emboldened to do so. The incredible support that we have received in the wake of this crazy series of events has buoyed us beyond words. And, ironically as well, what started as a tiny Kickstarter campaign has become something more. In fact, we passed our original funding goal in only 84 hours, and our campaign runs until August 4. So we hope that is just the tip of the iceberg. So please, if this story makes you mad or sad or concerned about the state of intolerance in this country, don’t just fume or click on a frown face. Share this mission. Join us in our cause. Exhort your friends to support it and spread the word. We don’t want to view this as a negative experience. We’re POSITIVE we’re on the right side. -Brad Herzog

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute Receives $75k Federal Grant to Study Ocean Warming, Acidification
Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) announced that the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) was awarded $75,000 by the National Science Foundation. The funding will support research to understand the relationship between our atmosphere with warming temperatures and ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean environment. The grant will also support an early career scientist, three Ph.D. students and engage several undergraduate students. “The Central Coast is home to one of the highest concentrations of ocean research institutions in the world,” said Rep. Farr. “Understanding our oceans and climate change is critical work and I’m thrilled to announce federal funding is headed to MBARI.” MBARI is a non-profit world-class research institution where scientists and engineers work together to develop new instruments and methods for studying the ocean.
Seaside native part of world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise
A 2005 Seaside High School graduate and Seaside, California native is serving in the U.S. Navy and is participating in the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC). Fireman Martenia Wommack is a gas turbine systems technician aboard USS William P. Lawrence, currently operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A Navy gas turbine systems technician is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the gas turbine engines. “This is my first RIMPAC," said Wommack. "I look forward to interacting with the crews from the different countries." According to Navy officials, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. 26 nations, 45 surface ships, 5 submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial Rim of the Pacific Exercise. This year's exercise includes forces from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People's Republic of China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States. “The crew makes the day go by and I enjoy who I work with,” said Wommack. Challenging living conditions build strong fellowship among the crew, Wommack explained. The crew is highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills. “I have learned patience while serving in the Navy," said Wommack. "I am humbled by the constant diversity in my interaction with this crew. I feel stronger, and can make the more difficult decisions now. It's a character building career."

New Director for SPCA Says He Feels Honored and Fortunate
Dear Friends, There are moments in life when we sense the onset of something special. For me — really, for me and my family — this is one of those times. Joining the SPCA marks a new, yet familiar venture, as I’ve spent the past 17+ years helping lead a humane society with remarkable similarities: an open-admission philosophy; low-cost spay/neuter; an aggressive pursuit of animal cruelty cases, wildlife rehabilitation, even a Benefit Shop. Of course, all organizations and communities are different and I’m eager to learn what makes Monterey County unique. For my wife, this is a homecoming of sorts; she spent eight of her early years living at Fort Ord. Our son begins his own exciting venture — kindergarten -- and his older sister will undoubtedly help him find his way and give him an occasional hard time as only an older sister can. I feel honored and fortunate to be inheriting so much as your SPCA’s new Executive Director: driven, talented staff; dedicated, passionate volunteers; a committed and engaged Board of Directors and caring supporters like you. My congratulations to retiring Executive Director Gary Tiscornia for the organization’s many accomplishments during his tenure I thank Gary for his guidance during our leadership transition and trust he will remain a friend to me and the organization. I’ve met some of you and look forward to meeting many more in the coming weeks and months. Just this morning, I walked through our shelter, meeting the incredible animals in our care, seeing our rescued wild animals, and getting to know our adoptable horses. I am humbled and excited to lead The SPCA. Together we will do great things for the animals who need us and for the people who care for and about them. Sincerely, Scott Delucchi, Executive Director SPCA for Monterey Count
Aquarium is Not Entertainment and Should Not be Taxed Editor:
The Pacific Grove City Council is scheduled to vote on July 20 to place a 5 percent admission tax to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I understand that the City badly needs revenues. However, unlike the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, the Aquarium is a nonprofit organization, not an entertainment facility. Like the PG Museum of Natural History, its primary purpose is education and research. Busloads of school kids can enter the Aquarium free of charge. The displays of living organisms from the sea get people excited about ocean life. The Aquarium’s emphasis includes the seafood watch list and encouraging people to do what they can to protect the ocean from overfishing, acidification and pollution. The MB Aquarium brings in people from all over the world. Many may seek lodging and do shopping in Pacific Grove, and in this way the Aquarium provides a source of revenue for the City. Public schools and charter schools and universities are not taxed. The Aquarium is a superb educational facility which should not be taxed either. Bruce Cowan Pacific Grove [Ed note: We believe the vote on July 20 will be whether or not to put the question to a vote of the people on the November, 2016 ballot.]
Supervisors: Tell the Truth About the Cost of Losing Oil Revenue Editor: The livelihood of many lies in the hands of those who would vote for an initiative that would put thousands out of work, not only employees of the oil companies but also the companies who provide specialized services to them. The Board of Supervisors should tell the truth about the economic impact an oil ban would have on the county services. What services will be withdrawn for the lack of funds. The Supervisors owe us a full accounting of what will happen if we lose the tax revenue from the oil companies. I urge the Board of Supervisors to have the County Auditor complete a fiscal impact report and do their due diligence for the people of Monterey County. Shirley B. Ethridge San Ardo

Closing San Ardo Oil Fields, Where there is No Fracking, Will Cost Taxpayers Countywide
Editor: To all in Monterey County,
The closure of the San Ardo Oil Fields and its oil companies would be a huge devastating blow for our Monterey County! It’s not just the 1,700 jobs that would be lost at the site itself, but many, many others from trucking, farming, and even at the grocery store. It generates millions in tax revenue for our county. Our Monterey County, as we know it, would dry up and go broke. Many of our smaller south county towns would be gone - people would be on welfare because there are no new jobs for them (after all, this is what many of these workers have been doing forever and they don’t have other job skills). So with a huge number of unemployment, no tax money coming in...guess what? Dig deeper into your pockets, because all of our taxes will go up... that’s right...yours and mine! There is no fracking in Monterey County at all and none at the San Ardo Oil Fields! Their steam system is a highly specialized system and the oil field, itself, has many, many regulations it must follow. So, it is time to think before you speak…have a financial study done on our county of the ramifications of closing down the oil fields, it will surely be the beginning of the end of our Monterey County!

Bruiser’s Owners Might Consider a Move, or Litter Training Editor:
As a former Humane Investigator, Animal Control Supervisor and lifelong animal activist, I feel I must weigh in on the Pet Pig controversy in Pacific Grove As with all animal-related problems in a populated area, it is a matter of law and a matter of consideration for your neighbors. In rural areas where farm animals already exist, a newcomer who moves next door to a barn doesn’t have the right to complain about the odor or the noise. However, when someone with a farm animal moves into an urban environment, and in so doing, impacts other people’s ability to enjoy their own property, then the animal owner is in the wrong. The owners of Bruiser may have all the best intentions of keeping their “odor impact” at a minimum; but by their own admission they are “very busy people” and can’t always keep up with it. In my professional experience I often noticed that people who infringe on others’ rights have a lot of excuses and like to cast themselves as “animal lovers” and “victims” of uptight or unreasonable neighbors when complaints are made. It seems this is the case in this instance. Bruiser’s family are not victims. No one is asking them to give up their beloved pet if they don’t choose to. They can train him to use a litter box inside their home (since they aren’t bothered by the smell) or they can move to a more appropriate rural setting, plenty of which are relatively nearby. Their neighbors should not be forced to relinquish their garden enjoyment nor move, nor should they be made to feel “uncaring.” Consideration is key. It is taking into account the quality of life of all those living around you – not just your own - and adhering to the local regulations put in place for the health and safety of a community. And even if local regulations or officials are too weak to resolve disputes, wouldn’t it be great if we could all just rely on the old Golden Rule – “Do Unto Others…”? J. D. Stayton Pacific Grove
Recognition Due for Service at Monthly Book Sale at Pacific Grove Library
Editor:
We would like to thank Frances and Garcy Spradlin for the work they have done for the Pacific Grove Library. They have held a book sale on the first Saturday of the month since 2008. They would arrive early on sale day and carry hundreds of books they had stored in the library basement to the front library breezeway. That task alone was a huge job for two people. They had all books, CDs and tapes categorized for easy access to buyers. When sale day ended, they the had the work of storing all books that didn’t sell. In addition to their sale day work, they also spent time researching books that may have been of more value. These books were priced higher but were still a bargain to book lovers. Over the years thse Saturday sales brought in a revenue of approximately $80,000. They are no longer doing the Saturday Book Sales but our community needs to give the Spradlins a thank you for their years of service. The Friends of the Pacific Grove Library are now having the Saturday Sales and we wish them success, but we felt the Spradlins needed recognition for the years they donated to our Library. We were fortunate to have such capable, dedicated people serving our library. Ted and Norman Bell Pacific Grove

Guest Commentary Parallel Universes re Local Water
There are parallel universes in the local water picture, both wanting a reliable and affordable water supply. One, I call Universe A, praises Cal Am’s progress toward its desal project. It has continuing accolades for the proposed CDO modification that penalizes water users if Cal Am misses milestones. It has the print media demeaning other opinions that Cal Am is not a prince. The other universe, Universe B, remembers history. It has Cal Am over-drafting the Carmel River that led to the infamous Cease and Desist Order (CDO) in 1995 to reduce pumping. It remembers Cal Am over-drafting the Seaside Basin, resulting in a court adjudication that restricts Cal Am pumping there. It remembers that Cal Am has had more than 20 years to produce a new water supply, and has failed to do so. It remembers Cal Am stranding $35 million on three failed water supply projects between 2000 and 2012, with the ratepayers paying every penny of it. Shareholders paid zero. And still no water. Universe A apparently accepts the fact that desal projects around the world cost much less than half the cost of Cal Am’s proposed desal at about $4400 per acre foot, without a good explanation. It ignores the fact that Cal Am exports 65% of its revenue, about $30 million annually, out of the community. Universe B is criticized by Universe A for pointing out Cal Am shortcomings. Universe B discovered Cal Am’s conflict of interest with contractor Dennis Williams and Geoscience. It pointed out the misinformation about Cal Am’s slant well, promoted to be drawing water from under the Bay, but instead pumping directly from the intruded Salinas River Groundwater Basin, without entitlement. Universe B remembers that as the entire Peninsula conserved at record levels, there has never been proof that Cal Am fixed enough leaks to claim it conserved much at all. It remembers that Cal Am accounting and management systems waited years before announcing it would seek reimbursement of $51 million for revenue lost from conservation. Universe A is critical of Universe B for not rallying to Cal Am, the adopted child of Universe A. Universe A thinks Universe B is impeding Cal Am progress. Universe B response is that Cal Am is its own worse enemy. Universe B remembers it was Cal Am that violated the County Ordinance requiring public ownership of desal. It was Cal Am that decided to install its slant well without getting prior approval for water rights in the Salinas Basin. It was Cal Am’s minders, the CA Coastal Commission (CCC) and the County, that may have failed to enforce its responsibility for local coastal plans, according to new litigation. Universe A has blinders on, is solidly glued to Cal Am, and accepts Cal Am skirting the law, but calls into question others who think a violation needs enforcement action. Universe B worries that the cost of Cal Am operations, it’s desal project and its demand to rake in profits, are getting sky high. It wants to see a comparative analysis of the Moss Landing desal options (Deep Water and Peoples), since both are projected to cost half of Cal Am’s $4400 per acre foot. It can see additional options in more reclaimed water in the future. And the simplest potential option of all (other than political will), is to extend the Aquifer Storage and Recovery project, currently drawing from the Carmel River, to draw also from the Salinas River near the rubber dam. More than 250,000 acre feet runs to the Bay in winter time, unused and not claimed. If a mere 3 percent of this surplus water, useless to anyone else, were diverted to the Seaside Aquifer, the Monterey Peninsula’s water problems would largely be solved, in a simple and economical way.

Are big banks to blame?
Microchip implants and potted horsemeat for the homeless Wanda Sue Parrott
Homeless in Paradise
Following last week’s column, screenwriter Ron Libert of Kershaw, SC e-mailed his encounter with homelessness. If Thomas Jefferson could respond, he’d probably agree that Ron confirms his prediction during the 1809 congressional debate to renew the U.S. National Bank Charter: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. . .” Here’s Ron’s description of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) camp where my own research revealed homeless persons are implanted with microchips for electronic tracking and identification. From the Street: A Tale of Two Cities by Ron Libert A year ago, I met a homeless man, who was a Viet Nam Vet, receiving a small pension to cover his Agent Orange exposure. He started studying the bible and soon I got to meet a number of his homeless friends. They tended to gather each day in the parking lot of a deserted mall. As long as they stayed in that particular area, away from the downtown area nearby, the police did not harass them. Evidently, the town of Camden (a suburb of Columbia, So. Car.) decided there were too many homeless and some were even soliciting funds. I told all who would listen that the city of Columbia was taking homeless people off the street and putting them in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) camp. There they could only leave for a job appointment or to leave the state.
Sure enough, soon some of the Camden homeless were picked up and did not return. When the city of Charlotte heard that Columbia had “cleaned the downtown streets” of the homeless, they adopted the same FEMA camp solution and cleared the entire downtown area of homeless. My bible student was spared because he could say he lived with his sister, who was a known local resident with a nice house. They did not get along, so he seldom slept there, often sleeping in a friend’s truck. I had started a second bible study with another Camden homeless man when he suddenly disappeared. I was unable to confirm he had been put in a FEMA camp, but his friends still around were sure that’s what had happened. Now some would say mandatory living in a FEMA camp might still be a better option than the streets, but if that were the case, most all the homeless would be requesting transportation to the nearest FEMA camp. However, considering the

fact that the homeless cannot leave the camp except for a job interview or to leave the state, to some it might sound more like a prison--complete with walls of fencing. And what do the homeless do while incarcerated in the FEMA camps? No one seems to know, since interviews are not granted and access to the inmates/guests is almost impossible. Is this the coming fate of all the homeless? Did you even know this was happening in at least two states? Homeless camps and horsemeat burgers My online searches confirmed that Raleigh, NC followed the lead set by Columbia and Charlotte, SC. back in 2013. True, the mess on the streets appeared solved by mandatory removal of the homeless to a remote area where a 240-bed FEMA camp shelter was located; however, there were major repercussions. The criminalization of homelessness on Aug. 14, 2013 by the Columbia City Council incited such a backlash from po-
lice, the media and the public that council rescinded its decision within one month. On Sept. 4, 2013, council gave homeless persons the right to choose going to jail or the shelter rather than being forced off city streets, a policy still in practice today. Everything from exposés to conspiracy-theory concentration camp claims popped up h t t p s : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=tSenUa0qOFg . Also, I found unbiased news like the CBS coverage of FEMA emergency shelter camps erected for disaster relief after Hurricane Sandy left thousands homeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TcMC7ZQ_6w . The National Report’s excellent piece about horsemeat being served FEMA inmates/guests combined the lurid with factualism as illustrated in the photo shown above. http://nationalreport.net/horse-meatserved-south-carolina-fema-camp-occupants/ More dangerous than standing armies In his bank charter debate, Thomas Jefferson also said, “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” The speech has been praised by liberals and pooh-pooed as spurious by conservatives, none of whom had apparently yet lost a home through bank foreclosures that led to homeless. If this description fits you, is there a FEMA camp in your future?

Home Price Growth Expectations Decline, but Consumers’ Outlook on Housing Remains Positive
The results from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s latest Survey of Consumer Expectations Housing Survey reveal that there was a modest decline in home price growth expectations. However, the majority of households still view housing as a good financial investment. Mortgage rate expectations have declined since last year’s survey, and renters’ perceived access to mortgages has become easier. Average home price change expectations at both the one- and five-year horizons declined from the 2015 survey. For example, the mean one-year ahead expected change in home prices in the 2016 survey was 3.3 percent, nearly a full percentage point below the mean forecast in the 2015 and 2014 surveys. Attitudes toward housing continued to remain positive: 59.2 percent of respondents think that buying property in their zip code is a (very or somewhat) good investment, and 13.2 percent think it is a bad investment. However, attitudes have become somewhat more polarized over the last three years: 21 percent of respondents think that housing is a very good investment (compared to 14 percent in 2014), and 2.9 percent think it is a very bad investment (compared to 1.3 percent in 2014). The average probability of buying a
home, conditional on moving within the next three years, rose to 63.0 percent from 59.9 percent in 2015. The increase was particularly pronounced for renters, whose average probability of buying their next home increased from 43.2 percent to 48.9 percent. Renters continue to perceive obtaining a mortgage (if they wanted to buy a home) as difficult, with two thirds stating that it would be somewhat or very difficult to get a mortgage. Renters continue to report a strong preference for owning. The share of renters who report preferring or strongly preferring to own instead of rent (if they had the financial resources) rose to 74.1 percent from 68.5 percent in 2015.

Teen Talk Lassen Volcanic National Park, ever heard of it? If not, you’re one of many. In fact, it’s one of the least visited national parks in California. Yosemite has about four million visitors a year, whereas Lassen only comes in at four hundred thousand visitors. Lassen has even been nicknamed an ‘overlooked wonderland’, which in my opinion fits perfectly. Always in search of a new destination, my family planned a summer trip full of places I’d never been to, the first one being Lassen Park. First off, if you were to drive from here to Mount Lassen, it would take over six hours. Since we had lots of driving to do, my family and I stayed a night in Chico. We didn’t do much there except go out for dinner and walk around downtown. The next morning, we got up relatively early in search of ‘Sycamore Pool’. We drove around for well over thirty minutes and finally found this hidden gem. Sycamore Pool is a dammed part of Chico Creek, creating a natural river-like pool. Although it has a cement bottom and pool features, it is still surrounded by nature and is a part of the river. Since we were following a strict schedule, we only spent thirty minutes at Sycamore Pool, then we were back on the road. The view on the way to our campsite rivaled anything I’d ever seen before. Even in early July, the mountains were snowcapped and deep drifts of snow could be found along the road. At times, we were going up and around massive mountains… without any guard rails. The turns were sharp and the drop was huge, but there was nothing in between the road and the cliff as we climbed in elevation. Although it was unnerving, it just shows how this National park is different from others. At a more popular park, safety comes first, but here it was all gloriously ‘rough around the edges’. Mount Lassen is actually a volcano that erupted almost 100 years ago. It is incredibly tall and easy to distinguish the difference between the surrounding mountains. There are lots of hydrothermal areas throughout the park. That means that there are places where the water bubbles up from the earth, steams, and even spurts water. It was so fascinating to watch the pools of steaming muddy water bubble up. After we drove up and down the lush mountainsides of the only road through the park, we finally reached Lake Manzanita Campground. Since the park is more secluded, we were able to choose our favorite campsite. We unpacked and got settled into our natural home. Later that night, we drove down to Lake Manzanita to watch the bats and look at the scenery. As the bats skimmed the reflective water, it looked as though each bat had a twin. As I looked up at the star-speckled sky, I could then see many more bats flying around. They were all quite delicate and graceful as they swooped down on their prey. The following day happened to be my fourteenth birthday, so we packed it full of activities. Of course, I slept in and awoke to the birds chirping and other campers arising. After a hearty breakfast, we all went back down to Lake Manzanita. There, we rented kayaks. The scenery from out on the lake was insanely gorgeous. You could see the tree line up on the mountain, the snow and even a bald eagle was perched in a treetop. The farther I paddled from shore the more secluded and natural everything around me felt. Following our kayaking trip, we drove to another campground so that we could walk around Summit Lake and swim. However, once we got there we decided to go on a hike to Echo Lake, round trip it was a about 4 miles. Although we hike somewhat frequently and are a very active family, this hike was different. Not only was it extremely hot, but the trail was steep and gained elevation quickly. The air was crisp and thin, due to the high altitude. There was one point in the hike where we were walking up on a staircase. When we took a short break, I looked behind me at the view. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen. Mount Lassen was front and center, the bright snow contrasting with the dark rock mountain. As we walked on, we finally landed at our destination: Echo Lake. We stopped there for a while and took a break. I waded in the crystal clear water and cooled off. When I looked out, the lake was a dark blue and the thousands of trees that I could see went right to the edge of the glassy water. It seemed as though it was fake, almost. It looked like a painting, everything was so perfect. Once we hiked back, my family and I grabbed soft serve ice cream from the camp store and enjoyed it among the trees. For my ‘birthday dinner’ we had my favorite: Salmon, Caesar salad, garlic bread and asparagus. Camping food always tastes better because you really have to work for it. Afterward, we sat around the campfire and did a little birthday celebration. It started with blowing out candles on a Pop Tart (I know, I know, it’s supposed to be a cake but this was the perfect substitute) and ended with presents. But the day was not over yet. At about eleven at night, my parents piled blankets, pillows and sleeping pads into the back of our truck and we all hopped in the cab. From there we drove to Chaos Craggs (A lookout spot) and climbed in the back. For the next hour, we watched the stars. There were lots of shooting stars and the milky way seemed very bright. The longer you look at the still stars, the more you seem to forget what it is you are looking at. At some point, they simply look like little lights, until a star shoots by. That’s when I appreciated what I was looking at. Honestly, that’s what the entire trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park was like. After you see it all for a while, you get used to it. But once you look again, you are reminded of how breathtaking it is. The snow, the many mountains, the hydrothermal hotspots, the summit, the stars, the lakes and then the entire experience is new once again.

Registration to enter a series of random drawings for the 2017 Big Sur International Marathon begins Friday, July 15. Due to its continued popularity, the Big Sur Marathon offers various opportunities to earn a space in the April 30, 2017 race. These include drawings for groups and couples, loyalty runners, Monterey County residents and “bucket list” or first-timer entrants. In addition, a ‘last chance’ drawing will be held once all selected runners have completed registration. “The Big Sur Marathon continues to have unprecedented demand for entries so we have devised a system to reach all of our audiences,” said Doug Thurston, race director of the 32-year-old event. We’ve held a drawing for the past three years and each year refine the system to make it easy and fair for all.” Changes for this year include no entry fee to register for the drawings and staggered registration time frames per category. The schedule to register for the various categories is as follows: GROUPS & COUPLES: Registration takes place July 15-24 with results announced on July 26. This category is for groups of two to 10 people who want to participate only if everyone in the group is chosen. INDIVIDUALS: Registration takes place July 29-August 7 with results announced on August 9-11. This category includes Loyalty runners – those who have finished one or more Big Sur Marathons; Local runners – residents of Monterey County; and “Bucket List” First Timers – those who have never finished the Big Sur International Marathon. Individuals are allowed to enter in multiple categories. LAST CHANCE DRAWING: Registration takes place August 19-25 with results announced August 26. This is a
final opportunity to enter for a chance to receive a slot in the 2017 marathon. This is open to any individual including those not selected in an individual category above. Marathoners interested in running in the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge (B2B), two iconic marathons separated by 13 days, have the opportunity to register for the random drawing beginning October 1 following their separate admittance into the Boston Marathon. In addition to the random drawing selection process, there are additional ways to enter the popular destination race. A full travel package including hotel, onsite travel, course tour, race hospitality and other race perks are available through Marathon Tours. Specialized training and VIP amenities throughout the weekend are available through the Runner’s World VIP program and fundraising opportunities through partner charities offer race entries as part of the fund raising package. Race slots are also available by contributing to the Big Sur Marathon’s JUST RUN youth fitness program. If selected, prices for the 2017 Big Sur International Marathon are $175 for U.S. runners, $200 for international entrants and $160 for Monterey County residents. There is no fee to enter any of the drawings. Detailed information on the special categories and the full registration process is available on the Big Sur Marathon’s website at www.bsim.org/Results___Records/2017_Drawing.htm. Additional distance events taking place along the Big Sur Marathon course on California’s scenic Highway 1 are open for first-come first-served registration beginning September 1, 2016. These distances include a 21-Miler, 10.6-Miler, 12K (formerly the 9-Miler) and 5K.
50th California Women’s Amateur Golf Championship Set for July 26-30
The next edition of the the California State Women’s Amateur Golf Championship will start on July 26 at Quail Lodge. In honor of this being the 50th year of the event the final round will be played at Pebble Beach. The event is match play and is one of the best golf events to see in our area. I have seen most of them since 1989. The event is free to the public to watch and the play is at a very high level. Some of the winners are playing on the pro tour today. Local player Mina Harigae won in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. Mina now plays on the LPGA Tour. Co-Chairperson of the event is Jennifer Noonan who announced that this year there will be playing three past champions of the event. They are Lynne Cowan who won in 1999. 2000, 2005, and 2007. Also playing are Corey Weworssi and Lauren Kim. The last Monterey County player to win was Marianne Towersey of Pebble Beach who won in 2006.

‘I Knew I Needed to Do Something to Save Those Bees’ Many of us have or have had jobs that require us to wear special clothing. Some of us have careers that involve some level of physical danger. Still others have felt a calling to do something to help save life on this planet. But just imagine a vocation that combines all three! Writing about our jobs and careers is a great way to dip our toes into the vast pool of recording our life history. Vocations are where we develop special skills and talents, and find out what we’re really good at and love to do. That makes it easy to put the experience on paper, giving us a venue for sharing our talents and wisdom with future generations. In this week’s column, LeeAnn Stewart shares her very special calling. From Volunteer Gig to Protector of Bees One of the assignments I had as a volunteer with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was to monitor 22 wood duck boxes which were placed along Willow Creek in Folsom. My job was to look for signs of nesting and record my findings in each of the boxes. On a routine spring morning I noticed that one of the boxes had been taken over by honey bees who must have swarmed there sometime during the previous week. The boxes were the perfect size and location, providing shelter to build comb and protection at night, as well as being located near a water source. When the temperatures reach triple digits, which they often do in the summer in Folsom, the forager bees find water nearby, take it into their tiny mouth and fly with it back to the hive. At the entrance of the hive a house bee will take the water from the forager bee, mouth-to-mouth, and place the tiny droplet in an empty comb cell. Dozens of forager bees go back and forth working with the house bees to put water in the hive. Once there is enough, it is communicated to the foragers to stay at the hive entrance and beat their wings, creating an air flow through the hive, having a “swamp cooler” effect, thus cooling the hive. The Special Value of Wild Bees A few weeks later, I noticed two more wood duck boxes had been commandeered by the honey bees, which were obviously thriving in the area. These particular bees are known as “feral bees” because they have been surviving by natural selection in

the wild without any human intervention. They are considered to be very valuable to beekeepers because of their strong genetics. My supervisor at DFW was in a quandary about what to do, because after all, the wood duck boxes are supposed to be for the wood ducks due to the loss their nesting habitat. At the time, I had no experience as a beekeeper; however, I knew I needed to do something to save those bees. I asked my supervisor for permission to remove the boxes with the help of a beekeeper. We would hive them and return the wood duck boxes empty and intact for the ducks. My supervisor agreed and I was able to assist in the removal of the honey bees. A Year Later, She Had Her First Hive The beekeeper who helped me fostered the honey bees for me while I began my beekeeping education. I took several classes through the Sacramento Area Beekeeping Association and I worked alongside an experienced beekeeper for hands-on experience. After about a year of learning and purchasing the necessary equipment, I got my first hive. Not the exact bees that I rescued because they only live six-to-eight weeks (twelve weeks in the winter), but these bees were from the lineage of those strong bees from Willow Creek. The honey bees that I rescued will make an impact on the declining honey bee population. These pollinators are very important to California and its economy. In addition, they are fascinating creatures, complex in their communication and existence. LeeAnn Stewart and her husband Tom bought a home in Pacific Grove in 2012. She says, “I could not help but notice all of the wonderful flowers and the bees in this area!” She has five hives in her backyard in Sacramento and continues to take classes on apiculture and all things bee-related, and is particularly fascinated by the ways in which bees communicate. “I sing to my bees whenever I work in their hive, because it seems to calm them,” she says.

The Holy Spirit and the Portuguese Soccer Team By Judy Avila Since Cedar Street Times is willing to print my articles, let me tell you what happened last Sunday, July 10, at the FDES Portuguese Hall. Many locals are familiar with our traditional Holy Spirit Celebration (Festa do Divino Espiríto Santo, in Portuguese) which has happened on the second Sunday of July in Monterey every year since 1944. Again this year the usual preparation went on the week before, with dozens of us working at our Portuguese Hall at 950 Casanova Avenue, preparing to serve a free community meal of “sopas” —stewed meat with cabbage and bread—to thousands of people that come from every part of the state. Many people come in their devotion representing their town, with their flags and their queens, to participate in the parade, which marches from Monterey’s Custom House Plaza to the San Carlos Cathedral Hall for a High Mass and the coronation of the new Monterey Queens, who will march on our behalf in the festa parades in other towns. After the religious ceremonies, everyone gathers at the Portuguese FDES Hall for the lunch and the remaining festivities. However, this year the Portuguese soccer team had just beaten Wales, with a victory of 2-0, which put them in the finals to play France on Sunday, July 10, for the European Championship title. Since most Portuguese-Americans are dedicated soccer fans, one of our directors suggested we rent a large screen or two so everyone who wished to could watch the game, which would begin at noon the day of our festa. Everyone agreed, some phone calls were made, and soon the TV technicians were there to set up for the event. They even set up a TV in the kitchen so our hardworking cooks could be part of the fun. Twelve o’clock and the game was on! The large dance hall and the bar area were filled with fans from all over California. It was a tough game for scoring: 0-0 as Cristiano Ronaldo, currently thought to be the best soccer player in the world, was injured and taken out of the game. Fifteen minutes of overtime had to be granted to finish up the game. A couple of minutes before the time was up, Éder Lopes, an African-born Portuguese player from Guinea-Bissau, scored a goal, changing the score to: Portugal 1 — France 0, making Portugal the trophy winner for all of Europe. This was an extremely emotional moment for all fans present; Portuguese flags were waving, hands were in the air, and many smartphones were lifted high, capturing the excitement to share later. The marching band from Livingston began to play the Portuguese National Anthem and all sang the lyrics loudly and proudly. I think many believers may think the Holy Spirit had something to do with the positive score. Who knows—God works in strange ways!
