John Moulton, raised in Pacific Grove, is the driving force behind Marina Motorsports, Inc., a non-profit which hosts events such as go-kart racing, autocrossing, driving schools and automotive swap meets at Marina Municipal Airport, and the former Fort Ord’s Fritsche Field and all to support youth activities. John brought a 1940 American Bantam convertible.

The first of Pacific Grove’s events during Car Week was the Little Car Show, held Wednesday, Aug. 17 and filled Lighthouse Avenue with fans of vehicles with few cc’s but lots of nostalgia.

The 7th annual event is a light-hearted look at automobile history. The featured marques this year were American vehicles, but there were examples from many other countries. The mayor’s choice award went to an Isetta, an Italian microcar.

“Older, micro, mini and arcane” vehicles were represented for a meager $25 entry fee. Merchant awards also helped fund the kitty.

Proceeds from shirt, book and video sales will go to the P.G. Public Library, P.G. Youth Center and the Veterans’ Transition Center.

City Council Election Slate is Set Mayor, three council seats up for election as two women, four men vie for positions

By Marge Ann Jameson Ending speculation, the slate of candidates for the November 8, 2016 election to City Council has been settled.

Three seats are open, plus the mayor’s office. Five people are seeking council seats and two men would like to be mayor -- the incumbent, Bill Kampe, and councilmember Dan Miller.

There had been some speculation about the eligibility of certain candidates due to term limitations specified in the City Charter. The questions arose about partial term councilmembers.

In the City Charter, Article 12.5 Limitation of Terms it is specified that: “Neither the Mayor nor any member of the Council shall serve in the same office for more than eight years in succession.

Any time in office resulting from a partial term which is onehalf or less the length of the full term for the office shall not be counted toward the eight year limitation. Time served in office prior to the November 1990 general municipal election shall not be counted toward the eight year limitation.”

Seats open include Robert Huitt’s and Dan Miller’s, both partial term councilmembers. The seat held by Casey Lucius is open and Lucius will not be running for re-election as she is a candidate for U.S. Congress.

It was her decision to run for Congress that resulted in an extension of the deadline to file for City Council election, as the City Charter states that if an eligible incumbent doesn’t file for re-election, the deadline is extended, in this case until August 17, 2016.

The three seats which are not up for re-election are those of Ken Cuneo, Rudy Fischer, and Bill Peake. They will each retain their seats. until their respective terms are up.

Dan Miller, with the declaration of his candidacy for mayor, gives up his council seat, win or lose, thus opening the seat up for other contenders. He has been on the City Council for more than six years, having previously served on the Planning Commission for more than three years. On his application, he lists his occupation as “Councilmember, Businessman, Festival Promoter” and states that he has an AA degree from MPC. Bill Kampe, incumbent mayor, has graduate degrees in engineering and business from MIT. He was with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Tehcnologies for 35 years before retiring. He served on the City Council before winning the mayor’s seat.

In alphabetical order, the list of declared candidates for city council begins with Alan Cohen.

Alan Cohen served as Pacific Grove city councilmember until his term expired. Once the owner of two businesses in Pacific Grove, he now lists his occupation as an in-home care provider.

His many volunteer functions include boards ad commissions on a county-wide level.

Cynthia Garfield is currently president of the Pacific Grove Library Foundation. With master’s degrees in business and in social work, she states that she is trained and experienced as a facilitator and mediator.

Robert Huitt currently serves on the city council and has since 2009. He served a previous term from 1994-2002. He recently retired

Join us for a tour of Steinbeck and Ricketts’ Pacific Grove

The Heritage Society is introducing an exciting new event this October – a Heritage Tour of Pacific Grove. This guided 90-minute bus tour will introduce sightseers to John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts’ Pacific Grove, from the exuberant 1920s to post-war 1950s suburbia.

Tours are scheduled for Saturday, October 1 and Sunday October 2 . Tour times are: Saturday at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m; Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at The Barn any Saturday between 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. beginning August 27. Tickets will also be available online every day beginning August 27 at www.pacificgroveheritage. org. Tickets are limited for each tour time.

Although Salinas and Cannery Row are most closely associated with Steinbeck and Ricketts - Pacific Grove was Steinbeck’s muse and it is where Ricketts discovered the universe. The tour will show you where these men lived, worked, and loved.

Sightseers will also hear about their circle of friends and adventures, as well as how the city blossomed and grew during this era. And, of course, it will point out many of the locations Steinbeck included in his books “Cannery Row” and “Sweet Thursday.”

This tour is sponsored in part by J.R. Rouse & Jan Pratt of Sotheby’s International Realty and Maureen Mason of Sotheby’s International Realty.

First Day of School for Dorothy, 2016

Carolyn Swanson is the mother of a Magic Baby, a Special Needs child, Dorothy. With her husband, Brandon, they live in the Pacific Grove school district.

By Carolyn Swanson First day of school, 2016.

Dorothy has been going to school since the 2014-15 school year through our school district. Did you know that Magic Babies start school when then are 3 years old? Not kindergarten-aged?

This is her third school year. 201415 she went half the year, starting in January. 2015-16 full year. And now starting 2016-17.

In some ways Magic Parents do things in a delayed format compared to typical parents. In other ways, we are experts before our time.

In my opinion, first day of school is something that is remarkable. When D was born, one of my first thoughts was ‘what will school look like for her?’

When Dorothy was a few days old, her pediatrician called the mother of a 34-year-old Magic son to come see me at the hospital. I asked her what school had looked like for her son. The question made her squirm. She said it was one

area that she always felt she failed in. It was a fight back then (just one generation ago) to get the services he needed to have an appropriate education.

Yet, January 2014, at 3 years old, Dorothy walks into a classroom set up with more resources than I knew existed and a staff that was definitely more capable than myself at educating her.

Her school and my family have been a steadfast team ever since. This year the program changed a bit, new teachers and a new classroom. But the resources are the same and plentiful. The mother of that Magic Son did not fight in vain. It’s because of people like her that created change in the public school system. We stand on her shoulders.

I see the first day back to school as a massive victory on many levels.

1. D is healthy enough to go to school 2. There is a classroom stocked and ready to give her an appropriate education 3. It’s free; and available to every child, Magical or not.

4. Dorothy loves it and thrives there.

I love public schools so deeply because they have a way to educate every single child. And if they are lacking, parents can truly make a difference. I will do everything I can to support them and keep my child enrolled in public schools.

Cheers to the school year beginning!

And for the quiet victories we all share when our kids slowly become independent from us as they learn.

Carolyn Swanson is the co-founder of the Magic Babies of Monterey County Group. They are a small, but mighty group of parents touched by the magic of Down Syndrome, ASD and other diagnoses.

Brandon and Dorothy head for Dorothy’s class on her first day of school, 2016.

4th Annual Great Conversations

rey County, proponents of Measure X, is seeking a retail transactions and use tax of three-eighths percent to fund a transportation safety and investment plan which would fund efforts to “improve safety on local roads and highways; repair potholes; maintain streets and roads; reduce traffic congestion; improve transportation for seniors, young people, and people with disabilities; and make walking and biking safer.”

Other cities in Monterey County are seeking everything from cannabis tax to telephone user taxes to revisions in business license taxes.

On the statewide ballot, there are some 15 measures involving issues ranging from repeal of the plastic bag ban to school bonds to requiring the use of condoms in X-rated films.

Major issues on the statewide ballot include repeal of the death penalty and legalization of marijuana for recreational use. Measure 63 prohibits possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines, and requires their disposal by sale to dealer, destruction, or removal from state.

Voter Registration Counts Are Up for Major Parties and ‘No Party Preference’ Voters

The report shows that 18,084,999 Californians are currently registered to vote. This is the second highest statewide voter registration total ever. As of July 7, 72.89 percent of eligible California citizens were registered to vote.

“More than 18 million California citizens are now registered to vote,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “I expect registration numbers will continue to grow as we approach the registration deadline of October 24. Eligible California citizens can register for the first time or update their registration online at registertovote.ca.gov. If you know a friend or family member who needs to register or update their registration information, encourage them to do so at registertovote.ca.gov.

Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is Bringing a New Vision

By Ivan Garcia

The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, which opened its doors as one of the nation’s first museums in 1833, is making some changes in hopes of creating an improved learning environment.

Some of the developments are already set and easily noticed by museum regulars; such as the absence of Sammy, the life-size gray whale model that greeted museum guests for 20 years, whose space is now occupied by a little gift shop.

But many of those changes are yet to come, so Cedar Street talked to Juan Govea, director of exhibits and education, on renovations sparking a new chapter for the museum.

For one, the museum has increased hours of operation, now opening during Monday’s farmers market from 3 p.m. to 7p.m.

“By opening our doors (during the farmers market) we have been able to serve an additional 150 visitors a week,” says Govea over email. And the museum has used those extra hours and attendees to good use by raising money for victims of the Soberenas fire through wine sales and started an educational series on foraging for natural foods in the local area.

Some of the changes feel like spring cleaning, with the museum clearing clutter to maximize use of space, such as replacing Sammy the whale with a smaller gift shop.

“We are looking to expand visitor serving space as much as possible,” Govea says. “This will allow us to present as more of our amazing collection to visitors.”

The change can be exciting, but Govea stresses it won’t happen overnight. What seem like simple rearrangements are decisions that required much forethought and planning amongst museum staff.

“We are hoping only to improve things we already do well,” explains Govea.

Such things the museum will improve and expand are science seminars for youth, weekend activities for families, lectures, and field trips.

Some longtime museum visitors may feel like new developments are too sudden and unexpected, but when formulating new programs it isn’t typical of any museum to take public input. Instead, the museum must thoroughly consult with experts, the City of Pacific Grove, staff,and the board before embarking on anything from expansion in hours to the placement of new paintings in the gallery.

Ultimately this latest set of museum adjustments is intended to enrich the visitor’s experience.

“The changes that the staff have made will broaden and deepen our reach with school children,” says Goeva. “And ensure that the museum will be here for another hundred years.”

Hit-and-Run Driver Sentenced after Pacific Grove Incident

On August 16, 2016, James Michel, age 69, of Monterey, was found guilty by jury of committing a hit and run in the City of Pacific Grove. The case was heard by Monterey County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Hulsey.

On August 12, 2015, at 5 A.M., the defendant was driving his automobile and collided with the victim’s unoccupied parked car in Pacific Grove. The victim, close by and in her home, was awakened by the sound of the impact. The victim ran outside and saw Michel outside of his car, inspecting the damage to both cars. When the victim approached him and attempted to obtain his insurance information, Michel scoffed at her, returned to his car, and fled the scene. Both involved vehicles were totaled in the collision. The victim was able to take a picture of Michel’s license plate, which she promptly provided to police.

Michel was sentenced by Judge Hulsey to three years of probation, ordered to pay full restitution to the victim, and will serve forty days in the county jail.

The case was investigated by Officer Daniel Deis of the Pacific Grove Police Department.

Public invited to walk along as Butterfly Sanctuary plans are made for the coming year

Pacific Grove Public Works will be conducting a walk-through of the Monarch Sanctuary with Dr. Stuart Weiss on Thursday, September 1 at 10:00 a.m. The public is encouraged to attend.

Dr. Weiss will give an update on the management of the Sanctuary and plans for the future.

City Council at the August 17 meeting was reminded that “Butterfly Season” starts October 1.

Upcoming lecture looks at capturing fog

Fog is an everyday part of living along the California Central Coast. It creeps in when we aren’t looking and is there when we wake up. Imagine the water found in the fog banks that settles over the Monterey Peninsula. Then imagine Dr. Daniel M. Fernandez, who’s working to capture that water and make good use of it. Fernandez will talk about his efforts, share data and the process involved in fog collection, during an upcoming lecture Sunday, August 28, at 3 p.m.

Fernandez, a professor at CSU Monterey Bay, has been working on collecting water from fog for the past decade. As a result of funding from the National Science Foundation for the past two years, he and his group have expanded their earlier network, which had several fog collectors in Marina and Carmel, to one that extends from Big Sur through Arcata.

Museum Exhibitions Curator Annie Holdren said the lecture should provide insight into the ways “catching fog” can prove useful.

“I hope attendees come away from this lecture excited to know that there are ways to collect water that don’t involve rainfall or desalination,” Holdren said. “Even after a devastating forest fire, fog collectors can help rebuild the forest. Just as fog drips from trees to replenish aquifers, it can drip down from fog collectors until the trees grow again.”

Admission to “Fog – Let’s Catch it” is $5 and free for Museum members. For more information on this lecture visit, http://www.pgmuseum.org/museum-events/2016/8/28/ lecture-fog-lets-catch-

Missing Fire Equipment Sought

As the Soberanes fire moved rapidly to the south, the firefighters battling the blaze moved with it deploying equipment along the way. Firefighters are now asking the public to report any equipment found in the fire area to authorities.

Anyone who locates fire hose, pumps, gas cans or any other equipment should call the Soberanes Fire Information Center (831) 204-0446, or the Monterey County Sheriff’s office (831) 755-3722. A crew will be sent out to pick up any reported equipment.

World Affairs Council presents “The Evolution of ISIS: The State, the Transnational Terrorist Threat, and Lone Wolves”

In 2014 ISIS rolled over Iraq’s border, captured several major cities and declared itself the Islamic State. ISIS is more than just a state. Within months of declaring a caliphate, like-minded terrorist and insurgent groups around the globe declared allegiance to the Islamic State, presenting a new challenge to regional and global security. ISIS has also inspired “lone wolves,” actors that appear to have no direct affiliation with the Islamic State, but carry out violent acts in the name of ISIS. Author and NPGS Department of Defense Analysis Associate Professor Heather Gregg will provide a brief overview of the history of ISIS, its ideology, its spread and different manifestations...and how to diminish its appeal on Thurs., August 25 at 11:30 a.m. - Rancho Canada Golf Club, Carmel Valley Road. Auditors (lecture only) free at 12:50 p.m. Luncheon $25 Members and $35 Non-members.

A Tale of Two Annies Jane Roland

Pacific Grove Councilmember Huitt Will Run for Reelection

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts This will be a short column…but better than none. Right? Jennie and the girls are here from Denver for a few days, but they have gone off kayaking at Elkhorn Slough giving me a few free moments. It is great having them here.

It has been almost a year since we have seen them. Cora, nine, and Lydia, six, have changed a lot. Jennie, not at all, still a gorgeous young woman. They will be here until Wednesday. Up to the city to visit old friends and back to Denver where they are very happy. If you ever want to see what they are doing and some of Jen’s fabulous art work, visit face book Genevieve Roland Smith.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the Annie Dogs in my life. Our Annie has a quirk that Jennie diagnosed yesterday.

Normally she is a very mild, friendly, playful pup. Yet when Jay appears and others with the same type of body and booming voice she goes wild... She barks at him and almost chases him.

The tail wags but the “go away” is loud and clear. He went out to the garage to get a Coke and Annie ran after him, barking. Jennie watched and said “She is protecting you...” Her scenario is that whomever dumped her might have been a man with the same body and vocal makeup. Perhaps she belonged to a woman whom she loved, the husband or male in her life was abusive, and “Mr. Bad Man” dumped her in a field where she was found after several days. She was cleaned up, rehabilitated by a foster family and adopted by us. She didn’t appear to have been abused, but she is very protective. A big dog in a little dog’s body.

A week after writing the column a man appeared at my office. “My name is Peter Tweed, I don’t know if you remember me. I am Alice Long’s son-in-law.” I wrote in the article about Andrea and Peter who saw the little dog, huddled on the freeway in Los Angeles, in the middle of a storm, under an overpass. They went off the next ramp, turned around and scooped her up. She was so covered with mud that they thought she was black. After they took her home and offered her some water, she fell asleep with her face in the bowl.

The veterinarian checked her out, and she was in good shape, perhaps about four years old. Now the Tweeds like the rest of us love animals and had a sufficient number. Alice was alone, Dick was

Times • Page 7

still alive but in a care facility and their two dogs (Roger and Blanche) had died.

Annie went to live with Alice.

Alice Long was one of my best friends. I first met her when I was visiting Mother. We went to a party at the home of Anita Douds. (For those of you too young, or too new on the Peninsula, another column will be written about the Douds, the Farrs and the famous Palace Hotel). Alice was from Boston and very reserved. Dick at the time was commandant at DLI, where he served two three-year terms at the helm. I am sure we said “How do you do” and that was that. Many years later I was introduced to her again when I joined a bridge group consisting of Jane Ellen d’Avenas, Jill Lee, Jessma Smith and finally me.

We played together for many years. We suffered with her when Dick became ill and eventually died. When Annie came we gave her a welcoming party with presents. I don’t recall the gifts of the other two; mine was a 49er collar. She was a darling dog, an Aussie mix. The thing about life that baffles me is that the bad things that happen to good people.

Alice went to mass daily, she was truly good…not goodie, and goodie...she had a sharp tongue and delicious wit. But she was kind as was her darling husband.

Before his decline we became very close and went to parties at each other’s homes. In fact that is where we met the Carns, Mike’s parents we had known for years, and when Jan Carns was widowed she married Adm. Jerry O’Donnell. A connection was again through an animal.

Alice called one day and said “Jan cannot take care of her puppy, Dixie. You need another dog.” Whether we did or not we got the cock-a-poo who graced our home for almost 15 years. Alice had a stroke and went to live with Andrea and Peter. When she passed, Annie became Peter’s best friend. Her legs went out. The veterinarian suggested euthanasia. Peter refused. He outfitted her with a sulky and little wheel chair, after a year, one day she refused to get in. She got up, stumbled a little, wobbly (she had a collapsed spine), but she walked and lived for two more years, until she was 15. And that is the saga of two Annie’s.

I am sure there will be more.

Jane Roland manages the AFRP Treasure Shop at 160 Fountain Avenue in Pacific Grove. She lives in Monterey.

With only a partial term already spent, Robert Huitt is eligible for re-election to the Pacific Grove City Council.

The long-term public servant announced that he will seek re-election.

Huitt served on the Planning Commission from 199395 and on the City Council from 1994-2002 and again from 2009 to the present.

He recently retired from a 50-year career as an architect and in research tracking and art, where he holds a master’s degree. Huit has a Ph.D. in American studies.

In a statement, he said, “I am running for re-election to the City Council because I want to continue serving the people of Pacific Grove as we keep working together to preserve our very special quality of life and remarkable community spirit.

“During my years on the Council I have always endeavored to uphold the values expressed in our City Charter, Municipal Code and General Plan. I’ve been able to work effectively with my colleagues and fellow citizens to make progress on a wide range of projects, from sidewalks and trails to historic preservation and economic revitalization. I’ve tried hard to seek the kinds of reasonable solutions that come from listening to one another and discussing issues respectfully without rancor or animosity.

“The challenges we face in the coming years will demand the best efforts of all of us working together. If elected for another term, I will do everything I can to protect our priceless environmental and historic resources, preserve the character of our neighborhoods and quality of life, and ensure that expenditures for City services and capital investments are prudent and in the interests of the whole community.

“Jan and I moved to Pacific Grove 26 years ago, and it has been everything we were looking for in a home town, including a wonderful place to raise our daughter, Callie. I love Pacific Grove, and I want to do everything I can to leave to the next generations a community that they will love and appreciate as much as I do.

“More information about my campaign is available at www.roberthuitt.org.

Robert’s seat is one of three up for election this fall.

Maybellene – Why Can’t You Be True?

Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.

Persistence of Memory Tom Stevens

Otter Views

Planning for Each Generation The third week in August is “Car Week” on the Monterey Peninsula. Dozens of various car events throughout the area lead up to the famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, “quite simply the finest exhibition of show cars on Earth, . . . an annual gathering of rare and antique automobiles, international automotive luminaries and motorcar enthusiasts from around the globe,” according to the event’s official website. Car shows, auctions, rallies, and soirees attract car lovers from around the world.

For my dad and me, who are obsessed with “rolling art,” this week each year is a very special time. When I was a kid, my dad found old BMW and Volkswagen steering wheels from various junkyards and attached them to the wall in my room so I could pretend to drive. He even commissioned a custom dashboard with a BMW steering wheel, gear shifter, speedometer, exhaust pipe, working headlights and signal lights, key, and key slot, allowing me to vividly imagine racing on the Autobahn or cruising through the German Alpine Road in the comfort and safety of my room.

I worked at a classic car consignment when I was in high school. I had always enjoyed ’50’s music and pop culture and dreamed of owning a vintage car of my own. My dad was originally against the idea, primarily because older cars lack safety features such as crumple zones, airbags, and ABS brakes. I had my eye on a light blue and white 1953 Chevy Bel Air and I convinced him to give me the green light by telling him that we would bond over working on the car together. However, while we know how to operate cars, we have no idea how they work. We lifted the hood, I pointed to a part of the engine and asked, “What’s that?” He responded, “I don’t know.” That was the end of our bonding through working on the car.

I named my Chevy “Maybellene” after the Chuck Berry song, wore a bowling shirt and a fedora hat, and cruised around listening to oldies music and made frequent trips to Reggie Jackson’s Dugout Diner, a ’50’s restaurant that used to be located in downtown Monterey. Country music star Allan Jackson sings, “My first love was an older woman,” in reference to his first car – I can certainly relate to that sentiment.

Twenty-one years later, I still drive around in Maybellene on a daily basis. My dad and I have successfully molded my six-year-old son into a fellow car aficionado. One morning, as my son and I were sitting in Maybellene waiting for her to warm-up, my son said: “Dada, when you die, I’m going to get Maybellene, right?”

I was quite stunned by the question. I told him, “That’s not going to happen for a long time so get that idea out of your head!”

Apparently, my first grader has a keener understanding of estate planning than I had imagined . . . for better or worse.

The recent opening of the Dali17 museum in Monterey triggered a somewhat Dali-esque sequence of associations involving the 1931 oil painting “The Persistence of Memory” and the passing, many years apart, of my parents. Ever mischievous, Dali might have enjoyed the quirky recollections his picture summoned.

Among the surrealist’s most iconic images, “The Persistence of Memory” was widely reprinted in January, 1989, when Dali passed away. My father had died shortly before, so Dali’s picture has long carried for me a sense of departure.

It’s a small painting, but it has big ideas. It hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. There it defers to some of its grander neighbors, including Marc Chagall’s “I and My Village” and “The Sleeping Gypsy” by Henri Rousseau.

While humbler than these large works, “The Persistence of Memory” is no less striking. In its shadowy foreground are three limp blue pocket watches, one hanging from a dead tree, another melting over the edge of a platform, a third drooped across something vaguely organic with eyelashes. A smaller orange watch in the lower left has ants for hands.

There’s a statement about time in there, but I’ve never been hip enough to catch it. What I like is the background of Dali’s painting: a low, sunlit headland rising from a mirror-flat sea not unlike Monterey Bay right now.

The pale cliffs of the headland bathe in a soft, clear light, the kind usually seen at dawn or dusk. The sky behind the cliffs deepens from gold to an infinite blue. The sea is absolutely serene, so still a single breath would mar it.

Seeing this luminous dreamscape across the strange and darkened foreground stirs in me a curious desire. I want to be there, to be in that still, cold, keen, silent, beautiful beyond; what the painter Georgia O’Keeffe called “the great faraway.”

Is it a place? A state of mind? Is it where we go when we die… or when we fully live? I don’t know. All I know is that I encounter it now and then. It’s in the distant mountains behind Leonardo’s “Mona Lisa” and in the castled clouds of Maxfield Parrish’s swinging boy. It lies just beyond the fallen girl’s reach in Andrew Wyeth’s haunting “Christina’s World.”

Sometimes this longing for the faraway can be heard in music. Some choral harmonies have it – Gregorian chants, Ladysmith Black Mambazo or the songs of the Cook Islands – but I usually hear it in the guitar. The little classical piece “Homage to Aguirre” and jazz guitarist John Abercrombie’s album “Timeless” evoke that sense of yearning.

I wish I could name this feeling. Dali called it “the persistence of memory” and suggested it can be prompted by objects; in his case by pocket watches. In a non sequitur Dali might have enjoyed, “The Persistence of Memory” came to mind recently when I saw an item about a Scout jamboree. A series of mnemonic switches tripped in the Rube Goldberg Device of my brain, and a fleeting image of Cub Scout objects rattled out.

I saw my yellow Cub Scout scarf and its metal slider, shaped like a fat wolf face.

The year was 1954. We Cubs sat beneath a tree and studied the plans for our project, a wooden model of a railroad car. If we could build it, we could become Bears.

As our “den parent,” my mother Eileen was nominally in charge of the train car project, but she was dying then and had the great faraway in her eyes. After she passed, the den disbanded, so we didn’t finish the railroad car. I remember the yellow scarf and the wolf slider, though.

That summer my grieving dad sent my brother and me to a YMCA camp. There, scarves of various colors were awarded to campers by number of summers accrued.

Beginners got gray scarves, if I recall. The counselors had been there so long they wore red ones. If you wanted a slider for your scarf, you could fashion one in the camp’s craft shop.

I went into the shop, but I didn’t make a slider. I made my dad a pair of blue enamel cuff links instead, because he was sad. They still wore cuff links in those days. I gave them to him and forgot about it until he died 35 years later.

Passing away shortly before Dali did, my dad went out very clean, leaving just a few clothes, his shaver, and the things in his dresser. To my surprise, the blue cuff links were in the top drawer. As I held them, I smelled again the dust of that craft shop and felt the glow of the kiln. Dali was right. Memory persists.

Cypress Tree Becoming Breachimg Whale Art

Berwick Park is a one-acre park located adjacent to Ocean View Blvd. that consists of a well- manicured lawn area as well as natural landscaping. This park is commonly used for weddings and recreational activities and is a popular area for a local flock of geese.

Some years ago, a double spar Cypress tree lost half of its canopy leaving only a large stump for half of the tree. The tree continued to thrive this way for years until it finally succumbed to a large winter storm last January. Due to the potential hazard of the sickened tree, the City removed the remaining half of the tree.

This resulted in two large stumps now in the middle of the park.

Recently, the Beautification and Natural Resource Commission received a presentation from a citizen proposing a public art project located at Berwick Park.

The project would involve carving the two tree stumps into whales that appear to be breaching out of the water.

The project was very well received from the BNRC and easily passed at the May 18, 2016 meeting of the City Council.

The talents of local Monterey artists Jorge Rodriguez, Neftali Palomares, and Javier Campos transform the tree stump remnant from a grand Cypress tree in

Berwick Park blown down during a recent El Nino storm into a new icon for Pacific Grove.

There will be no impact to the City's General Fund for this project. Funding will be raised through donations.

To fund the $9,000 project, a fundraising campaign will be launched to pay for the sculpture and its future maint0enance. Donations will be received through the Chamber of Commerce. Any extra funds received

will be committed to consideration of a possible donor plaque (acknowledging donations of $100+) and/or future general park maintenance. Once the funding goal has been reached, carving the stumps will take approximately 3-5 days during which time temporary safety fencing and scaffolding will be erected. Carving activities will be restricted to Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Olympic Sized-Fun at Canterbury

The Olympic spirit has arrived at Canterbury Woods – and you never know who will pop up where with “The Torch” in the ongoing “Olympic torch-relay.” It so happens both a resident and a staff member have real Olympic torches, and the stories to go with them, as participants in1984 and 2002 official torch-relays. Whether coming through the dining room during a meal or cropping up at one of our special events, the torch’s appearance highlights various activities such as a Brazil Travelogue with Brazilian rum tasting, or “Conductorcise” as participants waved a baton in time with the music.

Canterbury Woods celebrated Rio-style with an Olympic-themed party on the Great Lawn in honor of once again being named one of the “Best Places to Work” in the Greater Bay Area. Brazilian refreshments and exciting team activities were the order of the day. Residents and staff came together for a fun-filled afternoon replete with a torchlighting ceremony, streamer-dancing, mini-soccer, and Tai Chi, not to mention the ever-popular Discus (aka tortilla toss).

$2,000,000 Quadrangle Renovation Completed on Time and Under Budget The Carmel Mission Foundation is pleased to announce that the $2 million renovation of the Carmel Mission’s Quadrangle Courtyard has been completed on time and under budget. This large Courtyard in the center of the historic Mission is the venue for many important Parish and community events. The first to be held in the newly renovated Quadrangle was the Carmel Mission Classic Car Show on Wednesday, August 17, during Monterey Car Week.

Funded by a $2 million grant from the Carmel Mission Foundation, this renovation was performed by the same preservation team and general contractor, Blach Construction, which oversaw the Phase I, award-winning $5 million Basilica restoration. “We were under a great deal of pressure to complete the Quadrangle work, begun in April of this year, in time for the Carmel Mission Classic Car Show. We are pleased this challenging goal was achieved, due to the outstanding efforts of Blach’s personnel,” said Vic Grabrian, Foundation President & CEO. The newly renovated Mission Quadrangle Courtyard The old concrete surface, cracked and with many trip hazards, was removed.

Trenches were dug for installation of new subterranean infrastructure for water, fire protection, irrigation, electrical, communications, sewage, and drainage. Infrastructure was installed for new three-phase power for the Mission campus to support future needs, such as chillers for planned museum climate control. The surface of the Quadrangle was re-sloped to allow for proper drainage. New colored concrete and brick hardscape was installed with steel rebar to provide a stronger surface, designed to last for the next 75–100 years, while retaining the Quadrangle Courtyard’s original look and feel. To restore areas disrupted by the renovation work, parking lots received new seal coatings and were restriped. The temporary vehicle exit from the Mission’s front parking lot facing Rio Road was removed.

What Would St. Serra Say to a Car Show ?

The “Arnold Palmer Solex” is normally on display at Jameson’s classic Motorcycle Museum in Pacific Grove.

Purchased at WM&M Cyclery in Pacific Grove in the early ‘70s by a family who lived on 17 Mile Drive, they would lend it to a frequent house guest — Arnold Palmer — when he would come to town.

The 1913 Harley-Davidson Belt Drive which is on the floor of Jameson’s Classic Motorcycle Museum in Pacific Grove won a solid crystal trophy in the motorcycle division at the Carmel show.

Alexander Smith Winery Jim Moser

Wine Wanderings

One of my favorite things about the Monterey Peninsula is the plethora of hidden treasures. Restaurants, bars, shops, parks, and beaches are often found along the less-traveled road. While I was looking for a restaurant in Carmel, I stumbled upon the Alexander Smith Winery tasting room.

Maria greeted me and offered to guide me through their $15 tasting menu consisting of six wonderful wines. I began with the 2014 Paraiso Chardonnay from the Salinas Valley. This is a light and fruity wine that should be the patio starter for your next Concourse or Super Bowl party.

Leave food out of the equation so you can enjoy the nuances of this white wine. I followed this up with the 2014 Alexander Smith Chardonnay that highlighted the strengths of the tasting room. The Smith label is not available in stores so other than restaurants, you can only find this wine at their tasting room. With full secondary fermentation, this is a full-bodied wine that demands the freshest seafood you can find with creamy sauces on the side. This wine is comparable to the finest California chardonnays you have ever had. For my third taste, Maria poured me the 2014 Paraiso Rousanne, Viognier, and Chardonnay blend. As more winemakers introduce us to the viognier grape, you will discover why French winemakers have been using it for so long. This white blend may puzzle you regarding what food to pair it with. In this case, I will step away from the usual suspects and suggest caviar. Its

salty and rich flavors will work well with this unusual wine.

The red wine half of my tasting began with the 2014 Paraiso Pinot Noir. This is a classic representation of the Santa Lucia Highland terroir with its minerality and fruitiness. Serve it nicely chilled and let it warm so you can taste the spectrum of flavors. The next wine was the 2014 Alexander Smith Pinot Noir and this will probably be on your list of special occasion wines. With an elegance that should be savored, this pinot noir will stand up against the onslaught of turkey, roast beef, or lamb and their accoutrements. Drink this wine infrequently to keep it memorable. The final act was the 2011 Irie Zinfandel. A complete opposite of the previous wines, this is the varietal that many claim saved the French wine industry when it was decimated during the 19th century.

Monterey Wine List Award Winners Announced

The Monterey County Vintners & Growers Association (MCVGA) in partnership with the Monterey County Business Council (MCBC) announced their inaugural Monterey Wine List Award winners. Local restaurants from King City to Big Sur were recognized for prioritizing local wines on their wine lists.

“Consumers are interested in locally sourced menus, this includes not only foods but wines as well. This restaurant recognition program helps consumers easily identify restaurants that share the ‘farm to fork, vineyard to glass’ philosophy.

And there is no place better than Monterey County to feature locally produced foods and wines considering our natural bounty,” shared Kim Stemler, Executive Director of the MCVGA. “This program is one way we can share our appreciation for the restaurants that feature local Monterey wines.”

MCBC Executive Director Brian Turlington noted that “Monterey County wines continue to gain international prestige and are a major driver of our economy.

This program is designed to help bolster knowledge and appreciation of our Monterey County wines, which rival those produced anywhere else.”

This is the program’s first year. To be recognized, each of the 50 award winners included at least 25 percent of Monterey wines on their ‘by-the-glass wine list’ or least 25 different Monterey wines on their total wine list.

“The local restaurants are great partners in our community,” said Matt Shea, President of the MCVGA and Vineyard Manager for Bernardus Winery. “Monterey County is a special place, renowned for having some of the world’s best restaurants. It is simply good business to feature some of the world’s best wines – especially those made from our local vineyards.”

Homeless women’s dogs

Wonder woofers and owners who won’t live without them “Housing First!” If you were a homeless woman, or on the verge, housing would be your top priority.

Alas, affordable housing is so lacking in Monterey County, that “housing first” is the slogan all agencies, both public and private, use in dealing with affordable housing across the board.

A special category of need exists that involves homeless women with pets, a few being cats and the majority dogs. The exact number of Monterey’s homeless pet owners is unknown.

Overnight dog housing needed Landlords don’t want pets and agency housing doesn’t usually allow them.

Homeless women don’t want to give up their dogs, so they sleep in their cars or on the street to be with their animals.

One reason for temporary suspension of the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program for Women (I-HELP) was the fact female guests weren’t willing to give up their canine companions in exchange for food, personal amenities and shelter.

Suggestions have been made that an I-HELP for Pets program be devised through which pets can be sheltered at a designated location, then reunited with their owners during the daytime hours.

Between 400 and 500 homeless women were estimated to live on the Monterey Peninsula before the Soberanes Fire dislocated residents who were burned out over the past three weeks. Of this number, an unknown percentage includes pet owners who consider their four-legged friends as more than just canines. They’re their Wonder Woofers.

A few words about Wonder Woofers Cici is a poster dog for this column.

She’s a loving Dalmatian-Pit Bull mix seen here celebrating her 10th birthday last month. Cici is a Wonder Woofer. Along with her Wonder Worker owner, Cici is homeless.

Since Cici can’t define Wonder Woofer, I’ll try.

A Wonder Woofer is a warm-blooded

cut off his name and phone number. Sir, if you read this column, please call again!

Homeless in Paradise RVs for Seniors with Dogs If you live on the Central Coast of California and have an RV, camper, or trailer you’re not using and would like to provide a home for a senior or veteran, please call CeliaSue at 702-225-8206…she has a list of those in need of housing.

Hundreds of senior women have been displaced with their pets. Single womfurry friend who speaks from the heart in arfs, ruffs and woofs we humans call barks.

A Wonder Woofer is on the job 24/7, never complaining.

A Wonder Woofer likes to snuggle and wiggle and lick, as well as serenade his or her human with love songs sung unconditionally through squeals, whimpers, whines and hums.

A Wonder Woofer’s vocal range is extensive, also being capable of issuing protective warnings by yipping, growling and snarling if danger exists.

CeliaSue Hecht, Cici’s loving owner, is a former journalist who’s so devoted to her pet that she defines herself as a “dog traveler.”

Unlike many homeless women who don’t know where to turn or how to get started to solve the housing crisis, CeliaSue is a 66-year-old articulate activist.

Despite having survived breast cancer and being in need of medical care and housing, CeliaSue is seeking solutions to the housing crisis. A current example is this ad in Craigslist:

en without children, women who are not mentally ill, not drug addicts, not alcoholics, with low income, not working or cannot find work, veterans, and other seniors with dogs, over 50 years of age, some ill and whose health has deteriorated without shelter.

Dan Albert Seeks Legacy Seat: Monterey City Council Monterey native Dan Albert officially launched his campaign for Monterey City Council on Wednesday, August 10 with a speech to supporters from the steps of Colton Hall in Monterey after submitting the necessary candidacy papers at City Hall.

Colton Hall was the site of the state’s first constitutional convention in 1849, a year before California was admitted as the 31st state in the union.

Albert, 61, retired last month after a 31-year career with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District during which he was a teacher, coach, assistant principal and principal at Monterey High, and assistant superintendent and associate superintendent of the MPUSD. He has lived in Monterey for all but three years of his life.

Albert’s father, also named Dan Albert, served 27 years on the Monterey City Council, including 20 as the longest serving mayor in the city’s history. The younger Albert is also grandson of former Monterey councilmember Murray Vout.

“We must make sure that we maintain the character of our historic city and the integrity and charm of our neighborhoods,” Albert says. “Monterey enjoys a special relationship between its residents and its businesses, one not found in many other cities. I cherish this balanced approach and will work to strengthen it.”

He says that Monterey must have “a flourishing business community, but one that reflects and honors the unique nature of Monterey. I will work to ensure that Monterey retains its character, remains a great place to live and work, and continues to prosper.”

Albert attended Monterey public schools exclusively, graduating from Monterey High in 1974. He earned an Associate of Arts degree at Monterey Peninsula College and bachelor’s and master’s degrees and a teaching credential at San Jose State University.

He has two children. Albert and his wife, Sharon, an administrator with the Salinas Union High School District, make their home in the Old Town section of Monterey.

Election Day is November 8.

Little Libraries Silent Auction

Several weeks ago the readers of the Cedar Street Times were treated to a most interesting article about all of the “little libraries” that seem to be popping up all over town. I wonder how many of you were so taken with the article that you thought about making one yourself, or, even better, having one magically appear in front of your residence!

Well, now there is a chance to fulfill both dreams. For the builder at heart, The Heritage Society of Pacific Grove will be holding their annual Birdhouse/Little Library silent auction on Sunday, October 2nd at Elmarie Dyke Park, next to Chautauqua Hall. The Society is asking you talented individuals to design and build your version of a little library and enter it into this exciting contest The Mayor will present a special award for the best library!

There is no fee to enter and it is always exciting to see the silent bidding on your project.

If you need further inspiration, there is much more information at: https://littlefreelibrary.org/ For those who may not be able to do the design and build part of the project, there is still an opportunity to own one of these gems and have your own little library. The silent auction will take place at Elmarie Dyke park on Sunday, October 2 and will start at 10:00 and end at 3:30.

Back-to-School Shopping was a Time to Bond with Mom Ellah Foster

Teen Talk High school. In movies, it’s portrayed as a scary place where events like being shoved in lockers and Freshman Fridays — when upper classmen pick on Freshies —are a weekly nightmare. I’m sure in some schools that does happen.

But as a freshman at Carmel High, I didn’t think I would have to worry about that kind of stuff. Instead, I was stressing about who I’d sit with at lunch and whether or not my teachers would like me.

Coming from the really small school that I’d been attending since kindergarten, I wanted more freedom. ISM was a great school for me but after nine long years I was feeling too sheltered and a little stifled. I’d never even used a locker not to mention had electives or been to a big school rally. To others, these things may seem trivial or small but not to me. From the moment I stepped foot on that pristine campus the morning of orientation to today, with a full five days of high school under my belt I’ve been feeling comfortable and welcomed.

As I entered my first period on that very first day, my biology class peers were just as awkward and lonesome as I was. Unsure of where to sit; those who knew each other gathered with familiar faces but the rest of us were left to fend for ourselves. I sat next to a girl who seemed nice enough at the time — whom I later befriended.

Spanish class was next. I went out on a limb and took a pretty difficult course – Spanish III – therefore I am one of the only freshmen in the class.

After getting a little reality check on the first quiz, I felt discouraged. But after taking a few breaths I assured myself that one little quiz would not determine my entire grade. Although I definitely can’t speak fluently, those nine years of studying paid off. My accent wasn’t too shabby compared to the rest of the class.

It was a pleasant surprise to see so many familiar faces in each of my classes – ones that I hadn’t expected. Other periods floated by in a syllabus haze. Just as my older sister predicted.

All the freshmen swarmed to the outdoor amphitheatre during lunch. No big surprise since our orientation had been held there – the only recognizable spot on the big campus to us newcomers. With an epic view of the mouth of Carmel Valley, I felt right at home.

Obviously there are classes I prefer more than others. Since I love to write, English and Newspaper are my favorite periods. Newspaper is normally a sophomore-and-up-class. I had to request my spot. Walking in on the first day was a little intimidating – being around all upperclassmen. It was weird to see some of my sister’s friends in the same class asI was. I was viewed as a little sister rather than a peer which was great because I can’t compete with the older high achievers. Still I do feel comfortable sharing my work and speaking in class.

Of course there are things in high school that I haven’t caught onto yet.

For example, lockers. I have a PE as well an academic locker, but I can’t open either. Even after online tutorials and handwritten instructions from my own father I still can’t open the darned thing.

Nothing breaks the ice better than asking someone to help you out with that annoying combination lock. Part of being a freshman is learning the ropes and looking a little clueless in the process.

With all these sports teams, electives and clubs, I realize how lucky I am to have so many opportunities. Gotta remember that when the blaring alarm goes off at 6 a.m. I’ve had such a positive first week of high school – not only academically but socially too. Old friends have welcomed me in and made me feel comfortable in this new environment. I’ve met lots of new people whom I’m excited to get to know better. Besides, any time that I feel insecure or lonely, all I have to do is look around at the other freshmen. Some are better at hiding it but obviously we are all equally lost. We may not know where all our classes are, how to open our lockers or where the best place to sit at lunch is and that’s okay. I’m pretty sure everything will come into focus in the coming weeks. By the end of the next four years I’m betting we’ll all be just a little sad to leave.

Doing What Others Said Couldn’t Be Done—And Doing It Well It’s Car Week! In celebration of all things automotive, this week’s column brings you an excerpt from the memoir of Carmel Valley resident Robert L. Tarozzi, who made a career out of designing and testing race car engines from 1965 until 1980. Turk: The Lives I’ve Lived was published in 2015 by Park Place Publications and is available on Amazon and through his website, www.rtarozzi.com.

‘I Needed to Get My Hands Dirty’ Defining moment. Whenever I think about how it all began, the year 1952 and Hot Rod magazine comes to mind. I was just a lad of 14 or 15 reading an issue of Hot Rod magazine. I don’t know why I choose that magazine, but I was reading it cover to cover, totally engrossed. I came to an engine buildup article and I clearly remember studying a photograph of the front of the engine. The caption mentioned the camshaft and crankshaft and it appeared that they both rotated in some fashion.

But for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out their relationship or what the difference was, if any. I asked my dad, but he didn’t know either.

The quest began, the game was afoot!

I decided—make that needed—to get my hands dirty. Any piece of machinery or gadget would do. Take it apart, put it back together.

It started like with most teens of the ‘50’s—CARS. Start small and then work up. My dad’s cars were handy so I started there. Fix something small, break it, repair it, and move on. Progress! At 15, my first vehicle purchase was a 1939 Ford fourdoor convertible—cool was the word. It was soon apparent that it needed a ‘little’ work—parts were tough to come by so I bought a second one—why not? If one is good, two is better! A little rubbing, kicking and banging and it was up and running.

Wait a minute—I’m only 15, holy sh*t, now what? I continued to polish, take it apart and put it back together again (one more round).

Standing Tall at the DMV License time, coming up on 16, but my birthday was the 22nd of December and the DMV would be closed for Christmas.

Now, if I waited until I was actually 16, too late, I’d have to wait a week. Devious

From there I built various cars for

raced them at drag races, ‘roundy rounds’ and an occasional motorcycle scramble or hill-climb. It was just nuts, bolts and grease everywhere. It was the dealership by day and the backyard garages by night. I just had one tool box so I would move it with me in the trunk of my car—until it got too heavy to lift.

Somewhere along the line I joined the Strokers Hot Rod Club. Just a bunch of rag-tag guys whose main purpose in life was to do what others said they couldn’t do, and do it well. I was technically astute but financially devoid of monetary wherewithal, a.k.a. a poor boy. But this didn’t stop me from being in the middle of it all. I would just show up with tools and skill in hand.

The crew: Jerry Lavoie, Tom Shea, Ed Ruggeri, Ed McGrady, Roger Walling, Bob Zepke, Carl Debein, Donny Allen, Felix Valetti, Don Witcowski, Xenophon Beak, Johnny Nye, Bill ‘Farmer’ Dismuke, Tommy Fisher, Bobby Shelb, Bob Casey, et al.

Racing Was in Their Blood These were the principal guys that I remember; forgive me, those of you I have forgotten, all of whom were diehards, dedicated to racing—period. Be it street or track, it was truly in our blood and as far as I can remember most stayed true to form.

A few have passed on as I write this tome, brief as it is. A few went on to greater fame and a few hopefully on to fortune.

Opinion Get a Healthy Start to the New School Year with Vaccinations

By Melissa Stafford Jones Regional Director, US Department of Health and Human Services, Region 9 In August, you’ll see back-to-school ads from virtually every store. These ads will try to convince you that you need to buy clothes, shoes, supplies, sporting equipment, lunch making materials, cleaning wipes, and a myriad of other products. The average family will spend in excess of $600 per child for back-to-school items—and significantly more for college-bound students, especially when they need to furnish that freshman dorm room. Back-to-school has become the second largest shopping season in the year.

There is one more item that should be your back-to-school list: Immunizations!

Immunizations are something every child and young adult should have before they head back to school. That may be why August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Some of the greatest medical breakthroughs have been the development of effective vaccines for illnesses which have killed or injured hundreds of thousands of people in the past. According to the CDC, “…among children born during 1994– 2013, vaccination will prevent an estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 732,000 deaths over the course of their lifetimes, at a net savings of $295 billion in direct costs and $1.38 trillion in total societal costs.”

In recent years, we’ve looked eagerly for vaccines for HIV, Hepatitis C, Ebola, the Zika virus, and other emerging diseases, just as in the past people looked for vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and smallpox.

Many of the vaccinations we receive in this country are for “childhood illnesses.” Despite the inoffensive title, these illnesses can be quite serious or even deadly, especially for the very young, the elderly, or those with immune systems compromised by diabetes, cancer, lung diseases, or other illnesses. Many people currently live with long term effects of diseases acquired in childhood—some of which, like polio—have been largely eradicated thanks to immunizations.

Vaccinations are also important to protect those who for medical reasons can’t be immunized. Community Immunity or “Herd Immunity” helps protect these individuals by containing the spread of diseases.

Add this one extra item to that back-to-school list. Make sure your child is fully immunized. While you’re at it, check to see if your immunizations are all up to date—immunity to many diseases, such as whooping cough and tetanus—can dissipate over time, and the flu vaccine is different each year.

There is good news with this back-to-school item though—recommended vaccinations are available as a preventive health service through Marketplace plans, so this won’t add to your back-to-school expenses. Just be sure to follow your plan’s guidance on where you should get your vaccinations to be sure the cost is covered.

The State of California provides excellent resources for parents, including answers to frequently asked questions about vaccines in English and Spanish, what vaccines your child needs before enrolling in school, and where to find help getting vaccinated.

Every child (and parent) should have a safe and healthy school year. Immunizations are an easy way to start out at the head of the class.

With the fire added, we can’t afford to lose more trees Editor:

For the last six months I have been researching the history of the Spanish Bay development from 1982-1993. The realignment of Congress Road cut a 100 foot swath through a largely undisturbed area of Monterey pines, coast live oaks, and other native habitat. Misrepresentations by the Pebble Beach Company when those trees were cut for an 8’ conveyor line led to distrust and animosity that resulted in years of hearings and delays on the road. During those hearings the Pebble Beach Company promised that if this road was approved, the remaining swath of trees would remain to protect the neighbors in the adjoining Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach neighborhoods. Instead of putting pen to paper once the road was approved, they asked for a continuance on a hearing until their lot development plan was heard. Those hearings were continued for years and ultimately the hearing on placing protections on this area never did get heard.

This could be a win, win for everyone if the Pebble Beach Company would keep the promises they made when this road was approved and locate their inclusionary housing in one of the other locations that are deemed environmentally superior in the Final EIR. All of the benefits of this project would remain if this project were located at 17 Mile Drive and Sunset with the following added benefits: no additional trees would be cut down; there would be safe sidewalks to nearby schools and recreational areas; public transportation lines are available; and access to other services such as shopping, medical and gas would be greatly enhanced and available for residents in that housing as they would not have to use the already congested Country Club gate to access them.

There has been a misconception that this project must be approved in Area D for the County to get the dedication of the Old Capitol site, but that is not correct. The inclusionary housing is only required to be located in the Greater Monterey Peninsula Planning Area. The City of Pacific Grove has recommended the use of the 17 Mile Drive and Sunset site.

The Pebble Beach Company is already permitted to remove 6700 trees in their buildout. Poppy Hills and Monterey Peninsula Country Club were permitted to remove another 579 trees. These are just three instances of tree loss in recent developments, not to mention what is being requested at Fort Ord for Monterey Downs, what is being removed for the Hwy 68 Roundabout and all the individual trees that private property owners are removing every day. We have already lost enough trees in the Soberanes fire and we don’t need to lose another 725 more in Area D when this project can be sited elsewhere.
