The Pacific Grove City Council “called up” the plans for Hotel Durell, anticipating heave discussion. The proposed Hotel Durell project located at 157 Grand Avenue came before the Pacific Grove Planning Commission and passed with only one “no” vote. It had already passed the Architectural Review Board and the Environmental Impact Report was certified 5-0.

City Council reminded everyone that the public had already voted approval of a hotel on the site, so that was not a question.

No significant unavoidable impacts were identified in the Planning Department approval or the Architectural Review Board approval, but a long list of citizens turned out at the council meeting on Wed., July 11, to voice opinions on such aspects as design, size, traffic, parking for guests and employees, and impact on the Farmer's Market.

No one was adamant that the hotel should not happen. They only wanted certain changes considered.

The proposed hotel would be considered a four-star, a step up from “boutique.” It would have 120 rooms.

Hotel Durell would provide 83 valet parking spaces, with 55 being on-site and 28 off-site across Fountain Avenue. Employee parking would be restricted to the Lighthouse Theatre Municipal Parking Lot and employees would not be allowed to park either in the hotel lot or on nearby streets.

Voices of Monterey Bay and Transparency in Government file legal challenge over Carmel City Attorney’s resumé

Skillshots

A citizens’ group and Voices of Monterey Bay have petitioned Monterey Superior Court to require the city of Carmel to abide by state law and turn over documents and other materials the City Council reviewed to verify suspect claims in the resume’ of City Attorney Glen Mozingo.

At least two of City Attorney Glen Randy Mozingo’s claims could not be verified, his assertion that he had received a U.S. Congressional Gold Medal and that he had never been sued for malpractice.He never received the highly prestigious award and court records show he has been sued twice for professional negligence.

Even so, after a closed door meeting with Mozingo in June, the City Council declared that it had fully accepted Mozingo’s explanations based on evidence he presented but did not allow the council to keep.

“We can assure you that this thorough review confirms that Mr. Mozingo’s resume’ was correct in every manner,” Vice Mayor Carrie Theis said after the meeting.

Following that meeting, public records requests were filed by the Transparency in Government group, Monterey County Weekly and Voices of Monterey, an online news site that had published a series of articles detailing false statements made by Mozingo as part of his application for the city position. The requests for Mozingo’s submissions were denied with the explanation that the City Council had not retained any of the supplemental materials he provided.

In the petition filed Monday, Carmel attorney Neil Shapiro notes that California’s Public Record Act and considerable case law require public bodies such as the City Council to disclose all materials they use while conducting the public’s business. The act defines those materials as “any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics.”

Shapiro is a highly regarded specialist in First Amendm e n t l a w, h a v i n g r e p r e s e n t e d t h e S a n F r a n c i s c o C h r o n i c l e and other media outlets on access and defamation issues for decades.

Before publishing any of the articles about Mozingo’s resumé, Voices repeatedly sought comment from Mozingo and others, including City Administrator Chip Rerig, Mayor Steve Dallas, Mozingo’s two deputies, and others. All declined to comment on his application.

At one point, shortly before the June council meeting, Mozingo told Voices, “I report only to the council.”

“It’s true that the council is his client,” Calkins said, “but he is paid by the taxpayers of Carmel, so he is answerable to them, and as a licensed attorney in California, he is also considered an officer of the court.”

The California Bar Association publishes Rules of Professional Standards that prohibits a lawyer from using “any untrue statement” in the solicitation of a client.

In the resume’, Mozingo writes that he worked eight years as “special counsel” to the late Daryl Gates while he was police chief in Los Angeles, a claim denied by two lawyers who represented Gates at the time and others. He also claimed to be a member of the British bar, which a bar spokesman denied, and to have graduated from Oxford with a degree that the university does not offer.

Mozingo was hired as city attorney in July 2017 on the recommendation of two council members, Thies and Carolyn Hardy, who said she both reviewed his resumé and negotiated his contract. For half-time work, he receives $156,000 annually plus $275 an hour for “extraordinary” work such as reviewing or preparing complex legal documents or appearing in court.

A hearing on the petition is expected to be scheduled for Thursday, July 12 in Monterey County Superior Court.

Additional information is available from Voices of Monterey Bay contributing writer Royal Calkins at (831) 484-5068 or calkinsroyal@gmail. com <mailto:calkinsroyal@gmail.com>. Articles about Mozingo’s resumé and related issues are available on the Voices of Monterey Bay website.

New Event ‘Page Turners Book Fest’ to Feature More Than 40 Local Authors

Times • Page 3

More than 40 Central Coast authors will display and sell their books at the first “Page Turners Book Fest” on Sunday, July 15, at the Monterey Elks Lodge, 150 Mar Vista.

The free public event is co-sponsored by the Central Coast Writers group and the local Elks Lodge. Drawing for free books, from non-participating authors, will be held throughout the afternoon.

From 1 to 2 p.m., “How to Write a Thriller Novel” will be discussed by D.S. Kane in the Lodge conference room. Kane, a covert intelligence agent for more than a decade, is author of the “Spies Lie” novel series.

Between 2 and 5 p.m., authors will exhibit their books and chat with the public in the ocean-view Elks banquet room. A wide variety of books will be available for purchase at “below Amazon” prices, such as mysteries, children’s books, thriller novels, memoirs, spy stories, poetry, romance and fantasy sci-fi tales.

“It will be a great time to pick up reasonably-priced books for later gifts,” said Margie McCurry, volunteer event chair. “Authors will be pleased to sign each book – either personally to you, or to someone who will receive it as a gift.” A no-host bar and snacks will be available.

Part of each participating author’s registration fee will be a donation to the Food Bank at Veterans Transition Center at Fort Ord, and a donation box at the event will give the public an opportunity to also make a VTC gift.

“VTC provides a full range of healthy, nutritious options to over one hundred people per month,” said Kurt Schake, Executive Director, “and we have just expanded our Food Bank area so we can feed more Veterans and families. These funds will help us grow and serve more in need.”

Among authors exhibiting will be Tony Albano, Gaila Baron, Richard Burns, Maxine Carlson, Jill Cody, Joshua Converse, Don Craghead, Steven Reed Dahlquist, Pat DuVal, Kyle Ferdinand. Patrick Flanigan, Jess Hanks, Eboni Harris/E. Ardell, Daian Hennington, Peter Hiller/Jo Mora Trust, Ned Huston, Kymberlie Ingalls, Victoria M. Johnson, Linda Sonrise Jones, Linda Kane, D.S.

and across Central Avenue from the public library.

Council also asked that a smaller design be considered, though the architect stated that a smaller number of rooms might not meet the viability threshold for a successful hotel.

The next time it will come before the City Council is August 15, 2018.

Summer Boating Pet Safety Tips

Diana L. Guerrero

Ask ARK Lady Pet boating activities are increasing as companion animals participate in more outdoor activities with their pet parents. If you enjoy boating, you probably plan on taking those pet pals out on an aquatic adventure. Do you know how to take all the precautions necessary to keep those pet pals safe out on your boat? Safety on the water is essential for your furry friends so here are some pet boating safety essentials.

Protection: Protection from the elements is vital. Make sure to provide shade since excessive exposure to the sun can cause overheating and sunburn. Paw pads need to be protected because the deck can get extremely hot. For those pets who like catching a few rays, accessorize with pet specialty products such as a visor, dog sunglasses and pet sunblock.

Hydration: Keep your pet well hydrated at all times. This is possible if you provide a secure water receptacle filled with plenty of fresh drinking water while on board. A special water bottle adapter with a drop down dispenser dish works well, but no spill pet bowls are another good option.

SS Relief: A pet potty is the ideal situation for boating. Make sure you help the pet get acquainted with its use both on and off the boat. Another good habit is to walk the animal before boarding so he or she can eliminate on solid ground. Also provide that same opportunity upon your return. However, a good clean up product and aids are essential to have on hand in the event of an accident.

Swimming Safety: Both weather and water conditions can pose a risk to any pet even if your animal is adept at aquatics. It is also important to have given your pet a few experiences swimming while wearing its Pet Flotation Device (PFD) prior to any excursions. Not all animals know how to adapt to swimming in the different bodies of water where currents, swells, waves and boarding or disembarking the vessel can be difficult. Make sure to acclimate them in advance.

Flotation Device: Fitted flotation devices are a must for both humans and pets.

Pet flotation devices are specially designed to keep the animal afloat in the correct horizontal, swimming position. Attach a tether to the jacket so that it can be used to retrieve the animal from the water easily. This is useful also if he or she slips or falls overboard.

A pet flotation device helps keep your pet safe during boating or water sports.

Even though most pets can swim, some breeds have problems while others might be out of shape. Also, hip or joint problems and other health challenges can make swimming difficult.

Once in the water, the dangers include fatigue or disorientation. Some pet dogs may tire quickly or face risk from exposure after being in the water for long periods. A good device will help position a pet correctly in the water and add an element of safety.

But how do you get the right floatation device? Here are 5 tips: Take the pet with you to buy one so you can make sure the life jacket fits securely.

Handles are handy for humans who might have to retrieve a pet, so look for PFDs with grips.

Comfort comes with a good fit and is important but watch for where the clamps, buckles, or straps hit. Many dogs will chew off straps that create discomfort or that cause chafing.

Colorful choices of bright orange or yellow make it easier to spot an animal in the water.

Be sure you will feel secure when lifting your dog in a PFD. What else can you do for pet boating safety?

Help that pet to develop some boating sense by allowing him or her to visit the vessel while it is stationary or docked. Keep the first outing short so that your animal can become gently acclimated to the movement of the boat. Another great idea is to assign a handler who can manage and monitor the pet anytime you are on board.

These pet boating safety tips should help you and your pet enjoy those boating adventures together. But really, caution and common sense are still the best pet safety aids you can use!

Cop Log

6/30/-Saturday Be Quiet! Like Bob Quiett.

10:22 PM \ 16th Street. - Dispatched to a verbal disturbance.

You could even hear them on the ROOF- ROOF. (#Pulitzer) 2213-Ransford Ct. - An anonymous reporting party reported dogs barking for hours.

I'll guess the bicycle was probably stolen.

7/1/-Sunday I wonder if Saudi Arabia has discovered the joys of the female driver, yet.

6:30 AM-Sunset Drive. - A female was involved in a single vehicle collision. The female was uninjured and the vehicle was towed away from the scene of the collision.

Too bad, Tab Hunter passed away this week.

9:45Am-Ocean View Blvd. - Dispatched to a theft of a registration tab that occurred earlier in the day with no suspect information.

Sounds like this could have been a lot worse. PGPD got there fast.

11:30 Am-Case unfounded\ - Unknown suspect(s) attempted to enter victim’s residence. Locking mechanism to a house window was damaged. No suspect information.

7/3/ Tuesday So, our brave police enter a building in the middle of the night, expecting to find dangerous bad people which is bad enough for a day’s work. I think what they found is deadly dangerous to them. There are all kinds of new illicit drugs that are in powder form. A particle the size of a grain of salt is enough to kill you dead if ingested.

Please go sling your indoor chemical laden crappy weed else where Mr. Garcia.

Maybe they need someone with your skill set in jail.

5:58PM \ Ocean View Blvd. - Suspect Jose Garcia-03/24/92- Contacted a subject in a parked vehicle. Subject was on probation and subject to search. Located evidence that suggested he was in possession of marijuana for sale. Cited and released at the scene.

Good job Good Samaritan!

Lassie come home!

9:00 PM\ Caledonia Park. - A dog was found at the location. Owner was not

located. The dog has been brought to our city kennels.*UPDATE*- Dog returned to owner.

My various girlfriends, my motor-cycle mechanic, pretty much everyone a Matteson's. Ron Baxter, Kent Weinstein and even realtors I've never met, sometimes. Parking Enforcement chalks my forehead, Public Works keep trying to convince me to climb down the manhole they've opened for me. I get it. Still and though, who doesn't love a good dumpster fire?

10:36 PM\ Arkwright Court. - A dumpster fire was reported at an apartment complex.

Progress on Arkwright.

Gentrain Society Lectures

The Gentrain Society of Monterey Peninsula College is sponsoring these free public lectures in July and August, 2018. For lengthier descriptions and illustrations for these talks please see the Gentrain website.

Wednesday, July 18, 2018 Gentrain Society Lecture: The Murder Of Rasputin: A Staged Reading, by Carol Marquart Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $3.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895 This is the story of Grigori Efimevich Rasputin, murdered on December 17, 1916. A simple Siberian peasant, Rasputin became many things to many people.

To his assassin, Prince Felix Yusupov, he was an imposter and the Antichrist who crawled out of the Dark Ages. To the Czarina, he was a prophet and healer. To his daughter, Maria, he was a holy but imperfect man. What was the source of Rasputin’s power, and why did his gruesome murder mark the beginning of the end of Tsarist Russia? Carol Marquart, playwright, is fascinated with the lives of famous people and revolutionary thinkers. Using local actors, she has presented staged readings of her writings all over the Monterey Peninsula. Her character studies include Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Mark Twain, the Duchess of Windsor, William Randolph Hearst, J. Paul Getty, Bette Davis, Louella Parsons, Hedda Hopper, Mabel Dodge Luhan and now, Rasputin.

Wednesday, August 1, 2018 Gentrain Society Lecture: Bodie – Good Times and Bad: A New Photo Technique Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $3.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895 The photographs of Will Furman bring together a lifetime of immersion in film, drama, theater, music and photography. “While the American landscape and animals has been a major focus, my desire to make people feel the spirit of places I photograph has led me on related explorations,” says Furman. “Bodie - Good Times and Bad” is his new book, featuring Furman’s photography and historic photos along with text by Nicholas Clapp. The book introduces Furman’s “Inside-Out” technique, single exposure photographs that capture the vibrant spirit still alive in the historic towns of the west. Shooting through a window while simultaneously capturing the reflection in the glass often creates the appearance of a double exposure, but it is actually one image. The viewer feels they are back in time themselves, making the experience fresh and captivating. The book has captured the attention of many prominent historians.

Furman has a long background in the commercial art world that prepared him for becoming a fine art photographer. He received a B.A. and M.A. from San Francisco State University in Television and Motion Pictures. Furman has directed and photographed hundreds of film and television productions, and numerous live music shows.

He is also a cabaret singer, musician and performer. Through his involvement in the arts he has developed a distinct eye that captures the drama, serenity and magic of nature and the world around him.

Wednesday, August 15, 2018 Gentrain Society Lecture: Ocean Science and Technology at MBARI Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free: MPC Parking $3.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895 Steve Etchemendy, retired Director of Marine Operations at MBARI (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute), will provide an overview of the ocean science and technology at MBARI. This talk will discuss the changing ocean, the K-T extinction event, exploring the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, ocean mapping and fault zones, and the weird and wonderful behavior of sea life.

Right in the heart of Monterey Bay exists one of the most prominent ocean science and technology institutes in the world. MBARI, largely funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, has developed ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), MARS (Monterey Accelerated Research System), and the ESP (Environmental Sample Processor). MBARI scientists use these tools to explore and to understand the complex changes that are happening to the world oceans.

Steve received his degree in Geological Oceanography at the University of Washington in 1972. After repaying his Army scholarship by serving as an officer for six years, he went to work for Oceaneering International, and in 1982 achieved a world record for deepest dive in a one-man submersible named WASP. Later he spent four years as a manned submersible (Alvin) pilot for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In1989 he was hired by MBARI and was their Director of Marine Operations for the next 26 years.

Protect Our Children’s Future

Without the $1.7 million vacation rentals (STRs) provide our city, we will have to cut funding for programs like: • • • • • •

Police and Fire Department Staff and Equipment Children’s Programs Safer Playgrounds Secure Roads Public Library Staff and Hours Youth Recreation

STRs are limited to only 3% of PG residences. Our program is one of the most highly regulated in the country. STRs pay $1000/year in license fees, providing more than the program costs to run and boosting our city’s budget to improve our future. Opponents of STRs want to ban them. Don’t make them force you to compromise your family’s safety or welfare by cutting essential city services.

This November, VOTE NO on the measure to ban STRs

What You Need to Know Before Firing up the Grill

check it periodically for leaks. And keep baking soda or a small fire extinguisher nearby, since attempting to put out a fire with water will only cause the flames to flare up. Also, remind everyone of that life-saving rhyme “stop, drop and roll” to remember what to do if you catch on fire.

Summer is officially here and with seven in 10 U.S. adults owning a grill or smoker, according to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, for many, that means it’s time to cook up mouth-watering dishes and invite friends and family over for a barbeque.

But be careful. Grill fires are all too common. Before starting up the grill, make sure that you’ve taken the following precautions to keep the place you call home safe.

• Landlord Knows Best. If you’re a renter, before you even consider grilling, check with your landlord to see if it’s allowed. Oftentimes apartments don’t allow gas grills on balconies due to state fire codes. Even the 39 percent of renters living in single-family homes may be prevented from grilling if there are neighbors living close by or there isn’t a patio or outdoor space. Know the rules.

If you’re not allowed to have a gas grill, consider alternatives like an electric grill or a community grill in a common area.

• Too Hot to Handle. Grill fires can start in a number of ways, including dirty grills, grilling too close to something that could catch fire and leaving the grill unattended. To prevent a fire,

(c) Monkey Business/stock.Adobe.com clean the grill after each use. Always keep it a safe distance from your building (at least 10 feet) and away from trees. Place the grill on a solid surface that can’t burn, such as concrete or asphalt. And never walk away from the grill while cooking, as a spark or small flame can easily spread.

• Safety First. Keep safe by getting equipped with tools and knowledge. Use long-handled spatulas, wear flame-resistant mitts and never wear loose-fitting clothes near an open flame. If you’re using a gas grill throughout summer,

• Have the Right Insurance. As a homeowner or renter, even if you take precautions, accidents do happen, so make sure you’re properly covered for the summer grilling season and beyond.

According to Erie Insurance, a standard renters insurance policy can help cover you if you’re responsible for causing injuries or damaging other people’s property. No one wants to think about the worst-case scenario, especially when you’re planning a fun barbeque, but being protected is a way to give your family peace of mind. Plus, you can’t be too sure your neighbors are practicing safe grilling habits. Renters insurance can help protect you from costs resulting from their negligence, too.

This summer, kick back and enjoy your home’s outdoor spaces. Just be sure any grilling you do is done safely.

What does God say about bullying?

Bill Cohen

Reasoning With God

Merriam-Webster defines bullying as: “abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc.” Why would someone choose to be abusive? Is this an outward demonstration of our own fear and/or misunderstanding? In our society, bullying usually begins with some form of verbal abuse. Merriam-Webster defines abuse as: “language that condemns or vilifies usually unjustly, intemperately, and angrily.”

Most of the bullying I have witnessed, either personally or through a news outlet, includes anger and the appearance of hatred, 1 Jn 3:15, “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” We can determine an incidence of bullying by the verbal and non-verbal expressions of the person doing the bullying. Are they calm?

Are they using language intended to inform, or rather to shut the other person out of any further discussion or action? What does God tell us about this, Eph 4:29, “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Is their face exhibiting a friendly attitude, or one of hatred and disapproval? Is their body tense and rigid? Are they listening to what the other person is saying, or have they already made up their mind? If we want to know if we are bullying someone, we can step back and evaluate our own actions and appearances, do they align with the teachings of God, Phil 2:3, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Do we truly understand the position of the person we are bullying, or have we only been interested

in changing their mind?

One of the most intimidating things about bullying is the fear it creates. This is the most horrendous element of the bullying process. It has led teenagers to commit suicide, it has driven abused wives to withdraw into a state of depression, and it has caused millions to do unthinkable acts. God does not approve of this behavior, 1 Jn 2:9, “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.” Bullying always demonstrates hatred and always leads to fear.

Bullying can be the outward display of a feeling of fear caused by some misunderstanding regarding another person or group. How does God tell us to treat people when we have these feelings, Matt 5:43-46, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?”

Does God not tell us to love them? Will our response of love help us overcome our fear and misunderstanding?

When we stop fearing other people, we will begin to see that we are all part of God’s creation and each of us has our own share of faults. The compassion that results will lead us to understand God’s calling to us, 2 Tim 1:17, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,

and of love, and of a sound mind.” Has He not given us a sound mind so that we can treat others the way we want to be treated? When we return good for the evil we imagine in others, does not our love shown to them make them reconsider their own thoughts? We need not agree on all topics, or life choices, however, does God not ask each of us to love our neighbor unconditionally? Is this not part of His commandment to us, Mk 12:31, “And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” Any other action on our part is a demonstration that we are no better than those we see choosing to hate without cause? God tells us that this behavior is a form of judgment and it should be left to Him, Matt 7:2, “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

Can there be any excuse for harming our neighbor, either physically or mentally? Rom 2:1-3, “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Can we imagine we can harm people because we are afraid they will harm us, or others, and have God’s blessing?

What does bullying accomplish? Is it meant to change the behavior of the person being bullied? Is it meant to make the bully feel stronger and more powerful?

Does anyone really believe you can change a person’s mind by bullying them? God is clear on this subject, He wants us to always seek peace, in every situation, if it is possible, Rom 12:18, “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Is God not asking us to show our strength by helping others, not bullying them? Matt 15:1, “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”

There is no room for bullying in God’s advice and there will be no room for bullying in heaven, Gal 5:1923, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Is God not telling us that we will either learn to love each other here on earth, or we will not see heaven?

Could God be any clearer on this subject, God is not a fan of hatred and bullying.

Facts About Short Term Rentals Offer Food for Thought

Price of Remaining ‘Quaint’ may not be Worth the Cost

Mr. Luke Coletti’s proposed ballot measure to end short-term rentals in most of Pacific Grove certainly has riled people up with arguments that sound right, but don’t hold up to a closer look. In my view the proposed measure for the November ballot is as misleading as it is divisive.

First, a disclosure—my wife and I have an STR permit to make our home available on AirBnB, and have benefited from the income we’ve seen in retirement from it, so I’m not unbiased. That said, I can honestly say neither we nor our neighbors have had a single issue with the guests we’ve hosted. All have been respectful of our home and enjoyed Pacific Grove.

It’s an emotionally charged topic, though, so some facts about short-term rentals in PG may surprise and offer food for thought: STR guests pay tax, just like hotels. PG will lose up to $1.7 million dollars a year if we pass this measure — a de-facto vote for a 5% to 8% budget cut to a city that’s already financially strapped. What will get cut? Library, museum, road improvements, and other items because they are “discretionary.”

By law, a maximum of 250 STR licenses are allowed in the entire city—just 3% of 8,300 residences citywide. While more than 50% of PG residences are rental properties. Ninety-seven out of 100 City residences are not STRs. The May 2018 City lottery was held to address density and impact concerns in the most affected neighborhood; 50 STRs will ultimately be eliminated there as a result. Banning STRs in most of the City will negate all the progress the City has made in regulating STRs, and sacrifice the program’s considerable benefits.

Recorded complaints about STR guests have been very rare--Just 83 since 2016, some of those minor, and more than half about just eight addresses, three of which have lost their licenses.

The proposed measure still permits STRs, but only in the coastal zone neighborhoods. So residents in those neighborhoods, however they feel about STRs, may actually see more impact in their areas if the measure passes..

Rentals are less available and less affordable, but STRs only play small role in that.

Steadily rising property values are the culprit, not STRs. Banning STRs unfortunately won’t create many new or cheaper rentals, as supporters contend.

I was raised in Pacific Grove and settled in Australia where I am now retired.

Throughout my life, I remained a ‘Pagrovian’ at heart and regularly returned to my home town to attend reunions and find my touchstone. Since it is an arduous and expensive trip, we make it worthwhile by staying for two or three months at a time in one of the short term rentals near the center of town. We spend our money locally at places like Grove market, Lopez bottle shop, Fandango, Beach House, Red House Café, Peppers and Passionfish. But sadly, we won’t be back. We were making plans for a two month visit next year when we discovered that many short term rentals will no longer be available and our favorites have become excessively expensive. The goose that lays the golden tourism eggs may very well be on the verge of extinction in PG, and the loss of cash flow is not only going to affect some short term rental property owners but also many other tourist related businesses downtown. Tourism is a fickle business, and the price of remaining ‘quaint’ may not be worth the potential damage to PG’s only viable industry.

Professor Jack English Hobart, Tasmania Australia

Editor:

Sadly, the arguments for this measure rely on vilifying Pacific Grove short-term rental visitors. The measure’s supporters paints “them” all with a broad brush for the harm they’re doing “us.” That kind of divisive rhetoric, as short on fact as it is long on inflamed passion, may help get petition signatures. In the end, it ultimately erodes a sense of community rather than preserving it.

I urge you to learn more about the measure to ban short term rentals in most of PG. Get the facts, then if you agree, vote no in favor of financial stability for the City.

Many of us STR permit holders love our little hometown, aren’t blinded by greed, and genuinely believe this November measure will just set the City back--and us with it.

Trump fails on the Scale of Qualities of a Leader

Editor:

There are many definitions of what constitutes a “leader.” Dictionary definitions are general, and business sources, such as Forbes, haven their own descriptions of the qualities need to effectively manage a business enterprise. While leading or managing the government may, in many cases, be similar to being a CEO of a large company, there are many more clear or subtle qualities that are thought to be necessary in any man or woman who seeks and is elected to the most powerful position in the world the President of the United States.

Many commentators, academics, political observers, philosophers, and even astute persons on the street have identified those qualities that make a great and effective President. And, given the headlines in today’s media, they all want to be proud of the person holding that position, and shudder if any President should embarrass the USA before the entire world. In the mass of perspectives offered on this issue, important to most Americans, there is a simple summary of what constitutes a great President.

An organization called Belief.net has identified just five such qualities that they consider to be absolutely necessary, Before addressing those qualities, it is important to restate that no man, nor woman, is perfect. I have lived during the Presidential terms going back to FDR.. to the present.

Many of those men had major personal flaws - FDR, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Clinton alleged engaged in extra-marital affairs; Nixon had Watergate. That leaves Truman, Reagan, Carter, the Bushes and Obama who may have made incorrect policy decision, but never stepped over the moral line that others did. From my perspective, I think all of those men, perhaps with the exception of Nixon and Clinton at times, acted and adhered to the notion that a President should be “presidential.”

With that short history set aside, let’s review Belief’s five qualities and see if Donald Trump has any or all of those qualities.

1. Honesty. Trump has been called a liar, and just hearing his inconsistent responses on many issues don’t require much more analysis on this. He fails big time.

2. Compassion. I don’t know what his element of family compassion is - he and his wife don’t appear lovey-dovey in public, and I haven’t seen him hold, play with or otherwise interact with his son. In other even more major ways, is it a compassionate man who supports and implement the separation of very young children from their parents who are openly trying to gain access the US under legal rights open to them. What kind of man who hasn’t yet publicly asked Americans to keep the young men trapped in a Thailand cave in their prayers and for the brave men who are seeking to save them? Compassionate President? He fails.

3. Integrity. He fires staffers and officials who disagree with him. He protects his business operations, including those of his daughter, while imposing tariffs, while unilaterally pulling out of trade agreements that affect many Americans - but not him. He fails.

4. Confidence. He has plenty of that and a lot of people who support him because they believe that he has “changed’ Washington, although few would admit, or even understand, that changing Washington is a goal that all Americans should get behind, but there is a proper way to do it, even if it takes a long time. Doing it in less than one year has changed Washington, for sure, but the result so far is a chaotic mess worse than it was before. He fails.

5. Flexibility. By that is meant, a good leader listens to the other side, seeks to find common ground, and negotiates solutions that at least are positive. While the Democrats aren’t much better, Trump tweets almost daily his distaste for agencies that take paths that he doesn’t want, individuals who have the nerve to call him on his actions, and his blaming of others for all the things that go wrong. He really fails on this.

So, argue with me as you will. But the facts that seem to be available to all would give him a score of 0 - 5 on the Belief Scale.

The Lazy Days of Summer Jane Roland Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts It is finally beginning to feel like summer. I don’t enjoy hot weather, but the temperature is perfect right now. The Fourth of July came and went. Faster each year.

We attended an annual gathering in Carmel Valley which was very nice as always and then home to watch A Capital Fourth on television, a tradition in our family, primarily because we have always wanted to be here when the noise starts and make sure the animals are in. About 35 years ago when I was Executive Director of the Lyceum, a little dog wandered into our yard the day after the holiday. Jennie was taking an art/ weaving seminar from Kitty Drew, the older “kids” were away and John at work. We took the pup, a Pekinese/papillon mix we guessed, to class which was in the same building as my office. This went on all week. When we received no response to our ad in the Herald we thought we might have a sixth animal to add to our stable of three dogs and two cats. On Saturday there was a call from some people in Sacramento, they had seen the notice and were sure the little pooch was theirs. They drove down and came to the house. Sure enough, she was as excited to see them, and they were her. It seems they had been at the Beach in Monterey, miles away. When the fireworks went off she was terrified and ran away. We were sad to see her go, but happy the family was reunited. This is an excellent example of the reason to make sure pets are inside.

When Lee Yarborough took over the Pacific Grove Hometown Bulletin he asked me to write a column. I was working, heavily involved in Rotary and volunteering for several organizations. In those days I was also responsible for all the household duties (now John helps with those). I had written some articles for Don Woodward and Neal Gardner respectively when they had the paper, but it seemed to be too much at the time. In the summer of 2006 I relented and so started a 12-year “career,” When Lee retired, and Xavier Maruyama took over and then Marge Jameson (The Cedar Street Times), I was kindly allowed to remain. I thoroughly enjoy writing and, often, ideas spring into my mind.

When I was younger I adored fund raising with special events. In fact, conducted some seminars on the subject. Age has not diminished the desire, but the body has limitations. Fortunately, I am a good delegator and I thoroughly enjoy working with volunteers. My professional jobs in the past fifty years have been with non-profit organizations, in other words, I have been paid to do what I enjoy more than anything in the world, raising funds for groups in which I believe. Generally, the cause is related to the arts or animals (sometimes a little of both). Running a benefit shop as I have for almost 30 years, seems to be my niche, consistently in Pacific Grove. People who enjoy my column come in to chat, share ideas, and, kindly, tell me how much they enjoy my writing, food for the soul for most of us who put our pens to paper.

Last week I was visited by Gary Girard, a retired landscape architect. He wanted me to know that many of our customers come because of reading my articles. He also brought in many pieces of his deceased wife’s jewelry which he felt should come to us. We chatted for quite a while. Discussed the theatre and its wonderful productions, and his daughters of whom he is very proud. He asked me if I know Michael Jones. I laughed and said, “who doesn’t know Michael?. He is a delight, but I especially love his wife.” “Amanda” he said, “She is my daughter.” Those of you who know Amanda probably feel as I do about her, she is warm and wonderful, with a great smile and laugh. “Did you know,” he asked “that she had been a stand-up comedian?” I had not known that, but it certainly doesn’t surprise me. If you are familiar with Michael, you know that, if he is involved, the food will be great. He is hospitable even if he is the chef and not the host, I wish we were closer to his place of business, deep in Carmel

Valley…or still attending parties where he might be serving, it is always a treat to see him and his delightful spouse. Thank you, Gary, for broadening my horizons.

Our shop, PACREP’S NEVERLAND BENEFIT SHOP, is picking up, but tucked away as it is up on the top of Forest Hill, most of our business comes from word of mouth.

We are always looking for furniture, but also need someone with a truck who might be able to volunteer some muscle and wheels every so often. We welcome donations (even such mundane items as greeting cards)..We ask that items be clean, whole, new or like-new. Our goal is to be a cut above. We also can always use help, even a few hours a month. This is the final weekend of the current play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Nighttime. We are attending on Sunday, July 15. Join us if you are able..

PG Museum of Natural History presents

Local Inspiration: Paintings From Lesser Known Area Parks

Reception Friday, July 20, 2018 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM The Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters’ Association (MBPAPA) will exhibit a juried art show depicting lesser known local parks, Local Inspiration. All the works will be for sale through the museum. The exhibit will run from July 5 through September 23.

Opening reception July 20 from 6:00- 8:00 pm.

This year’s exhibition ‘Local Inspiration’ draws the attention to some of the lesser known parks and natural areas in Monterey County, namely Garland Park, Elkhorn Slough, Jack’s Peak, SFB Morse Preserve, DelRey Oaks Frog Pond as well as George Washington Park in Pacific Grove.

The MBPAPA works to foster the understanding and appreciation of Plein Air painting and its place in the history and current culture of our communities.

MBPAPA helps to distinguish local plein air artists as dedicated artists of the region.

Elkhorn Slough by Julia Seelos

“Plein Air” is a French phrase for painting out in nature and receiving inspiration directly from the landscape. It may include many styles and forms of artistic expression as long as the work is substantially executed as a result of direct observation of nature. Signature Member Status is conferred after a rigorous peer review upon application with six paintings in front of the panel. These reviews happen once a year in the fall. The juror and judge of the show is George Rivera, a well known artist, teacher and juror from San Jose.

On Location in PG: Lies Big and Little This week’s “Keepers of Our Culture” continues our sneak preview of the upcoming “Life in Pacific Grove: Deeper Connections.” Throughout the summer, we’re featuring excerpts from the 22 special topic articles to be featured in volume two of the “Life in Pacific Grove” series.

The authors are professional writers and talented amateurs who share a common belief that PG is the best place in the world to be a writer. That’s a theme that you’ll see throughout this and future columns: PG as the ideal place to live the literary life, the perfect Retreat for Writers.

As a special bonus, “Life in Pacific Grove: Deeper Connections” will feature stunning color photography by Peter Mounteer.

This week’s excerpt by Diane Tyrrel focuses on Pacific Grove and a sense of place for writers and artists. Diane is the author of three romance novels published

by Berkley: “The Inn at Half Moon Bay,” “On Winding Hill Road,” and “On the Edge of the Woods.” She lives in Pacific Grove and offers her services as a freelance editor.

No Ordinary Construction Project April 2018: Lots going on at Lovers Point this afternoon. Bright jackets against the vivid blue of the Monterey Bay. Box vans lined up along the street from the Beach House Restaurant to the parking area. It’s an unusual level of activity, even for this small but well-used shorefront park.

I walk down the hill, cross the street

the Recreation Trail along the edge of the water, to wander up and down the narrow streets lined with little beach cottages, or to visit the park itself and say hello to the little boy with his sailboat; he’s made of bronze and stands in the grass on the promontory, pointing off over the cliffs, across the bay.

The structure, having sprung up overnight like a mushroom, is a charming gazebo of dark wood—a café, apparently, with a few tables and chairs beneath a pergola, on a deck overlooking the water. It’s surrounded by pots of flowers, hand-painted signs, and lots of people. No customers, though. And I don’t know why exactly, but these guys don’t look like locals—or tourists, either. This whole scene—these trucks and these workers, the cables and the sudden appearance of the building— this is no ordinary construction project. A café doesn’t just magically appear in one day. Not on the California coast, anyway.

And yet this one did.

It’s strange. The walls of the quaint little building are weathered. Like it’s always been here. But the vibe around here is like . . . a celebrity wedding. An expensive party rental set-up. Or possibly a special attraction for Good Old Days.

But later that evening when I’m talking to my husband Jon, he tells me Here today, gone tomorrow—the coffee house gazebo was a feature at Lovers no, the gazebo at Lovers Point isn’t for the Point just long enough to shoot a few scenes for the HBO series “Big Little Lies.” Good Old Days festival—it’s a set for “Big Little Lies,” the HBO series with Nicole Then it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.

Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. and approach the park, and—yes, there of the lawn. I’m still new in town, but I is a brand-new building in the middle come here a lot, to Lovers Point, to walk Never Real to Begin With And now, as suddenly as it appeared, the gazebo at Lover’s Point is gone. Nothing of it remains except for a few bare patches in the grass where it stood, looking so solid for such a short time. Maybe the “Big Little Lies” gazebo is the perfect metaphor. A gentle reminder: here today, gone tomorrow.

It’s no longer there, and when it was, it wasn’t real anyway. Just an imaginary play-set, a painted backdrop lowered over a stage. Only the stage is real, enduring.

The rocks remain, the pounding surf.

But we’ll see that imaginary café again, when the new season of Big Little Lies is aired. On the screen, images of something that is no longer there—was never really there to begin with. At Lovers Point, the mists will roll in from the sea, closing over the scene like the heavy velvet draperies of an old theater. But the mists will part again, to reveal the stage set with different props and new characters; new stories will be written and enacted, and shy, modest Pacific Grove will, I have no doubt, continue to be an inspiration for future generations of writers, poets, artists, and the creators of hit TV shows.

Forest Theater scores again with “Hunchback”

By Susan Goldbeck

The Forest Theater in Carmel offers yet another excellent musical production in its rendition of the “Hunchback of Notre Dame” playing July 12-22.

The play is based on Victor Hugo’ dismal novel which was given a far more upbeat and positive spark by Disney in 2014. Disney turned the story into a lively movie musical with an excellent original score This is the version offered by the Forest Theater.

The troupe performing in the production is Paraphrase Productions which is a group of young actors ranging from experienced actors to first- time performers. Paraphrase has successfully partnered with the Forest Theater in past productions, particularly its very popular musicals.

My favorite of the ensemble numbers was “The Bells of Notre Dame” which featured excellent vocals and dancing to boot. It was a great preview to the audience of what we could expect in the rest of the play. The promise was kept. The choir which performed all through the production was only six members but they give such depth to the play that they seem like far more in number. Also among the ensemble were some fine young ballet dancers whose short segments were quite charming. The small, six-person choir which performed throughout the play added great depth despite the choir’s small size.

Playing the gypsy Esmeralda, the female lead in the play was Taylor Perez Rhodes.

She was a powerful presence with her sultry dancing, her strong, sexy vocals which were often tinged with a touch of pathos. Esmeralda’s role was timely in that she portrayed a woman of her own mind, a leader of her people, who was willing to sacrifice her life for her beliefs. The character of Esmeralda represented Hugo’s view that there was nobility and value as well as evil and depravity in all classes of human beings even the outcasts of society.

Sharing the lead with Rhodes was Malakai Howard who played Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the ultimate outcast. Howard’s vocals were commendable.

He also did an excellent job helping the audience experience Quasimodo’s feelings of loneliness and isolation as well as the power of love as it affects us all. I give Howard’s portrayal but one demerit: he was too darn good looking for a character that was supposed to be deformed and hideous. The make- up folks need to ugly him up a bit more.

Special mention goes to Adam Serrate, the leader of the gypsies, who was the most skilled performer in the cast. His voice was first rate and his stage presence was confident, comfortable and charismatic. He owned the stage every time he was on it.

The villain of the story Rollo, the lecherous cleric who was the guardian of Quasimodo, was played by veteran actor Ron Joseph. He was very fine in the role both as singer and actor. He more than held his own as the sole older dude in the cast. He managed to present a layered character that was both despicable and pitiful. Frollo, after all, battled both his love and his lust for Esmeralda.

This production hit all the right marks and is certainly recommended especially to families with teenagers. One last thought: Bring a warm jacket and a blanket. It gets cold out there at this iconic outdoor theater.

4th of July the Way Pacific Grove Does It

Chamber of Commerce Annual Barbecue Food, Community, Music, and Dramatic Reading of the Declaration of Independence Photos by Peter Mounteer

July 13, 2018 • CEDAR STREET

Times • Page 15

Pacific Grove Chamber Hosts 4th of July Party The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce recently hosted Pacific Grove’s annual 4th of July BBQ in Caledonia Park. The party, MC’d for the fourth consecutive year

by Vice-Mayor Robert Huitt, served up a packed entertainment lineup featuring a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence provided by Pacific Grove Rotary Club Members Travis Long, Ron Cohen and Mitch Davis dressed up as Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams and John Hancock. The reading is unique to Pacific Grove’s holiday festivities on the 4th of July and was begun at the suggestion of late Rotarian Nancy Shammas and faithfully repeated each year.

The party’s entertainment continued with donated performances featuring the vocal talents of the Monterey Peninsula Voices community choir singing a medley of patriotic and military themed songs and a soaring two-hour performance by quintessential Pacific Grove rock and blues band, Firefly. In between the entertainment, the Chamber honored and recognized attending United States Armed Forces Veterans, many of whom were first acquainted with the area during their time at the former Fort Ord. The Chamber also served over 900 attendees a bargain half-chicken or hot dog lunch complete with potato salad, salad greens, garlic bread provided gratis by

Lucky Supermarkets and dessert with choice of drink (soda or water) all for under ten dollars a plate.

The Chamber’s 4th of July party relies on the contributions of over 60 volunteers working in two shifts providing support for food preparation and service, event set up, breakdown and preparation. Volunteers were encouraged to dress up in patriotic colors for the party and were marshalled from every corner of Pacific Grove. Major volunteer contributors include the men and women of The Bridge Restoration Ministry who donated their time and energy to event setup, breakdown, food prep and clean up and were available on demand whenever a need arose during the event. The Bridge Restoration Ministry and numerous residential volunteers were essential to the execution and success of the event and the party could not have happened without the support of both groups.

The Chamber also appreciates the sponsorship support provided by Asilomar Conference Grounds, Lucky Supermarket, Earthbound Farms, City of Pacific Grove, The Bridge Restoration Ministry and the Shagbag Radio Show 1460am or 101.1fm KION.

Local Real Estate Update

Market Matters Source: The Orange County Register In Southern California, detached, single-family rentals increased 29 percent over the last decade vs. a 13 percent increase in apartment units, according to the most recent U.S. Census data.

The tally jumped to 736,400 rental houses in 2016, equal to one out of every four houses in the region. The increase matches trends elsewhere.

California had a 27 percent gain to 1.8 million rental houses in the most recent decade. Across the nation, detached, single-family rentals jumped 30 percent to 12.5 million in 2016.

Renters are moving into houses for space, for schools or for privacy, a recent survey

by U.C. Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation found. Landlords, on the other hand, range from small investors to gigantic hedge funds but also include retirees hanging onto their old houses because they’re in high demand.

The change could be contributing to a nationwide shortage of homes for sale. It also has numerous implications for family wealth and for policymakers, since there now are 7 million more renters in American than a decade ago, and nearly 414,000 more in Southern California.

The Terner Center study found that while 80 percent of single-family tenants want to buy a home in the next five years, more than 90 percent have financial obstacles to buying.

The Inland Empire, which was ground zero for the foreclosure crisis, had the biggest gain in rental houses: Detached, single-family rentals increased 50 percent in San Bernardino County and 45 percent in Riverside County, census figures show.

In Orange County, detached rental houses jumped 44 percent in the most recent decade, followed by an 18 percent increase in Los Angeles County.

Nearly 27 percent of single-family renters who had been homeowners had lost a home to foreclosure. Other factors include student and consumer debt, difficulties in qualifying for a mortgage, or not being able to save for a down payment.

Due to the positive feedback on this series about Accessory Dwelling Units, I wanted to see if I could find a way to summarize some of the changes to State Law. I came across Government Code Section 65852.2 and will provide some of the information within this government code.

Accessory Dwelling Units are required to comply with all the following: The unit is not intended for sale separate from the primary residence and may be rented.

The lot is zoned for single-family or multifamily use and contains an existing, single-family dwelling.

The accessory dwelling unit is either attached to the existing dwelling or located within the living area of the existing dwelling or detached from the existing dwelling and located on the same lot as the existing dwelling.

The increased floor area of an attached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 50 percent of the existing living area, with a maximum increase in floor area of 1,200 square feet.

The total area of floorspace for a detached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 1,200 square feet.

No passageway shall be required in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit.

No setback shall be required for an existing garage that is converted to an accessory dwelling unit, and a setback of no more than five feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an accessory dwelling unit that is constructed above a garage.

Local building code requirements that apply to detached dwellings, as appropriate.

Approval by the local health officer where a private sewage disposal system is being used, if required.

Parking requirements for accessory dwelling units shall not exceed one parking space per unit or per bedroom. These spaces may be provided as tandem parking on an existing driveway.

Offstreet parking shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the local agency or through tandem parking, unless specific findings are made that parking in setback areas or tandem parking is not feasible based upon specific site or regional topographical or fie and life safety conditions, or that is not permitted anywhere else in the jurisdiction.

I do hope that this series of articles shed some light on an often confusing topic.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. If I don’t have the answer I will find it for you. I am always available for any listing or sales advice. Until next time, enjoy this awesome weather we are having.

Heermann’s Gulls are mid-sized gulls found around Monterey in the summer. They are smaller than Western Gulls, with a dark gray body, a white head, and a vibrant red bill. Heermann’s Gulls are kleptophages, and will attempt to steal food from other animals, particularly cormorants, pelicans, and sea otters.

Humpty Dumpty Housing—Part 21

Times • Page 17

Last Visit to Tijuana (1985) If immigrants return home, do they smuggle more than themselves?

Smuggling was part of the cross-theborder game Southern Californians played when we traveled into Baja California at Tijuana.

If petty theft is a cold-case crime, arrest me now!

Back in 1955, when my teenaged friend Ginger and I drove from Los Angeles to Tijuana with two male friends, we broke the law. Deliberately, not accidentally. It was so easy!

First, we used fake identification cards we’d bought for $15 each from a sleazebag printer near Skid Row that swore we were 21, of legal age to buy liquor and smokes, both of which we did to feel free from our then-unidentified postwar white privilege.

Second, we borrowed maternity smocks and pretended to be ready for the delivery room as we exited Tijuana.

The border guards to whom we admitted our legal-limit purchases of liquor, perfume and cigarettes were too polite to demand we disrobe, so we waited until we were about 10 miles north of San Diego before we unloaded the extra illegal bottles of rum, whiskey and tequila from around our waists and the packs of cigarillos we’d stuffed from our wrists to our elbows.

Since neither Ginger nor I really drank, the guys got the loot, we girls got the smokes, and we all had a few laughs.

Thirty years later when I returned to Tijuana, the improvements shown in the photo had begun and we weren’t laughing at the shanties on the hillsides of Old Town.

We were delivering clothes and toys to poor families behind a fence reminiscent of today’s immigrant children in cagelike surroundings who cry silently, “We don’t need fences. We need housing. We need love.”

That’s why I introduced the 1948 United Nations General Assembly’s “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” in last week’s column, which prompted a reader to ask:

Homeless in Paradise

Entry to Tijuana in 1985 Poem and Photo by Wanda Sue Parrott Before the Paseo de los Heroes dolled up the entryway to my favorite border town, hawkers ringed our inching cars as post-infant urchins swarmed the drivers: “Chiclets, tres por cinco centavos.”

Men in sombreros with terra cotta pots hailed passengers: “Para sus plantas, viente pesos.”

Women waved woven scarves and serapes and bigger boys pimped San Diego sailors: “Hey, Mister, want to buy my sister?”

They were as dear as one-legged cripples on crutches hobbling across dirt streets filled with potholes big enough to hold all the cerveza in all the cantinas and still go dry. I loved their Old Town poverty and wiles.

Mostly I remember their cheapo gifts I smuggled home: Cigarillos, for Mother, smelled like smoldering donkey pies.

Tequila with green pickled worms gagged Dad. And for my baby sister, foul French musk named Tabu.

The eighties, and then NAFTA, killed poor dear “Aunt Jane.”

Or was it I who, shamed by our white privilege, died?

Public Water Now presents Montara’s Successful Buyout of Cal Am

Wth Jim Harvey & Kathryn Slater-Carter, Montara Water and Sanitary District Board Members Tuesday, July 24 at 7:00pm Unitarian Universalist Church 490 Aquajito Rd., Carmel (Aquajito at Highway 1 and 68) In 2003 Montara, a small community near Half Moon Bay, was the first to succeed in a public buyout of a Cal Am water system. How did Montara accomplish this pioneering victory?

For years, residents of Montara paid some of the highest water rates in the state.

They wanted relief. They wanted local control of their system.

First the community organized, developed a financing plan, and made an offer. In a show of community support they passed a $19 million bond measure by 82 percent to take control of their water system. In 2002 the district initiated condemnation proceedings against Cal-Am to buy their water system. Negotiations with Cal Am succeeded, making eminent domain proceedings unnecessary.

Our guests will discuss the dynamics, the organizing, the resistance, and the final steps that led to success. They’ll share the details on the cost of purchase, the pattern of water rates before and after purchase, how the transition was handled, and current community opinions about public ownership.

Montara won. Cal Am lost this David vs. Goliath battle.

Join us to hear Montara’s story of success and bring your friends!

Thus, while the U.S. remains a member of the United Nations, it joins Iran, North Korea and Eritrea as the only countries that refuse to participate in the council’s meetings or deliberations.

Please reflect on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as stated in the General Assembly’s Proclamation to determine how you are affected: “. . .a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for those rights and freedoms, and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.”

Yes! We belong to the UN General Assembly.

So does Mexico, across whose borders people are being smuggled daily.

How many are your neighbors?

When immigrants return south When I was young, we could visit Tijuana and people from Tijuana could come into California if they had proper permits to cross.

Braceros worked during harvest seasons—corn in July, orchards in August, onion fields in September--living in rows of tiny temporary wood shedlike houses provided by employers, then moving on, returning to Mexico when their work year ended.

When today’s illegals return to Mexico, what do they smuggle of value from the U.S.--besides themselves?

Gossip & Fiddly Bits Heard Over the Back Fence

Last week’s cover photo by Neil Jameson did not include the identity of the subjects. Brooks Leffler fixed that when he came in to the office for extra copies: They are Brooks Leffler and Barbara Ley. For more than 40 years, I have tried to get Neil to ask for the names when he takes a picture.

If anyone knows how to train a man, let me know.

• The fog is back.

• Tillie Gort’s has closed after 49 years. The iconic hippie hangout from the ‘70’s is no more. Al Siekert prepared his Sunday morning breakfasts for the hungry and homeless in their kitchen -- Now he is welcomed at Chautauqua Hall.

• Captain & Stoker coffee house in Monterey closed Monday. They just opened in March.

• A friend in Wisconsin, who visits here yearly, tweets that there are more monarchs than he has seen in many years, hatching out on milkweed in his yard.

• So far two people have done Forms 501 with the City Clerk for the office of mayor: Rudy Fischer and Dionne Ybarra. Donald Murphy has done one for a city council seat.

• Sod’s going in at the Golf Links. The recycled/repurposed water seems to be making the grass greener than some of the courses at Pebble Beach.

• Have you been to the remodeled Lucky store? Talk about wow. And they have a salad bar, too. Salad bars were pretty high on the list when everyone was talking about what they wanted in place of the McDnald’s on Forest.

Home for a Hot Minute Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Pacific Grove

I love to travel. I love love love to travel! When I was a kid—and had a much simpler life—I would start packing a month before our annual summer trip. I would have a pile in the corner of my room of the clothes I would take with me, sometimes I might even borrow clothes from my travel pile but I would always put it back pile anticipating adventure.

As much as I love travel, I also love coming home. I love my bed, I love waking up and putting the water on to boil for coffee or tea, opening the blinds, and waking up with the day. I love routine and I love having that routine disrupted and reestablished in an unfamiliar place, even if it’s a routine I develop for just four or five days.

I came home last week after having been away for the better part of the last eight weeks. I woke up on Saturday and reveled in the fact that I had nowhere to be. I could spend the morning cleaning and organizing my things, cooking, reading, writing, and walking.

One particularly enabling friend called and asked if I would make him an omelette if he brought me bread from Pavel’s. Surely I had missed the amazing taste and texture of Pavel’s bread, he coaxed.

Of course I wanted bread from Pavel’s! Pavel’s bread tastes like home (home being Pacific Grove) and I was home, I needed to eat one of my favorite home treats.

As I waited for my friend—who I pictured standing in the long line that is typically out the door and up the street on Saturday mornings—I put on some music, some Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and emptied my fridge. My brother and his wife (Sammy and Samantha, collectively the “Sams”) had brought me a variety of goodies from their garden…eggplant, zucchini, olives they had cured, and bread and butter pickles they had made. They don’t live in Pacific Grove which is why they can grow such things in their garden. Did you know bread and butter pickles got their name during the Great Depression because they were a cheap item people had in their pantries and were often eaten as a sandwich with bread and butter?

So I emptied side dishes into small dishes, pulled out jams made by my mom and myself, and enjoyed my music and the sunshine. I set the table and sipped tea and started to sauté vegetables while waiting for bread.

By the time my friend arrived and confirmed that that he had indeed been standing in a very long line dreaming about the piping hot omelette that was now done and ready to eat, I was ready for bread!

He had brought two loaves of bread so we would have options: my favorite, the farmer’s bread and the ciabatta. The ciabatta was so soft and supple as I held one end and cut slices off the other. My hands and black pants became a floury mess but it was Saturday! This is heaven, I thought. Then I thought how I used to not care for bread and my mother used to question if I was truly her daughter. To her, a meal is incomplete without bread. Even if the main dish is pasta, she needs bread.

So while I tried everything in sight on my travels, from pie in the southwest to guinea pig in Peru, and enjoyed every minute of it, I am also happy to be home in our peaceful corner of the world, enjoying a omelette and a PG staple, Pavel’s Bread.

You know you’re home when there’s Pavel’s Farmer’s Bread and Ciabatta.

Central Valley Garden Vegetable Omelette 1/2 a stick of butter 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, if you don’t have it in your garden surely someone in your neighborhood does Carrots, sliced in thin disks Broccoli, chopped in bite size pieces 1 zucchini, sliced in thin disks 1 eggplant, sliced in thin disks 6 eggs 2 tbsp. half and half Freshly ground nutmeg Melt the butter in a cast iron or carbon steel skillet. Add the rosemary and stir for a moment or two.

Add the carrots sauté for a few minutes.

Next add the broccoli, zucchini, and eggplant and stir well. At this point I like to drizzle some olive oil on just to make sure there’s enough fat for everyone.

In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with half and half (milk will work if you don’t have any half and half), and grate some nutmeg in. Mix really well and pour over the vegetables. Lower the heat to the lowest it will go, cover the skillet, and let cook until it’s cooked all the way through. You will know it’s done when the center of the omelette on top is cooked through (not liquid).

Enjoy with bread and butter pickles and olives on the side!

Note, Pavel’s does not pay me! I write about their bread simply because it is an institution in our little town and a major part of my life and culinary existence.
