Coastal Cleanup: Let’s Keep it This Way Members of Pacific Grove Junior Girl Scout Troop Gina Da Silva, Chloe Wing, Helen Hanella, Reese Felthoven, Amber Hoffman, Owyn Montgomery, Cora Galer and Arianna Zunich normally meet at Lovers Point, so it was a natural for them to be assigned there for the Save Our Shores annual coastal cleanup. Among the items they picked up was a rodent abatement device. Other volunteers at other locations yielded found such “grossities” as 5-gallon bottle of Korean made hydrogen peroxide, a car hood, a toilet, and around 12,500 cigarette butts. The girls are 4th graders at Robert Down and Forest Grove. This is the third year the girls have participated in the Coastal Cleanup sponsored by Save Our Shores. Photo by leader Joey Scott.

Save Our Shores’ 32nd Annual Coastal Cleanup results. In just three hours, 3,148 volunteers (more than 380 student participants) at 75 cleanup sites between Waddell Creek Beach in Northern Santa Cruz County and Big Sur in Monterey County prevented 10.5 tons or 20,955 pounds of trash from entering the Pacific Ocean. In Santa Cruz County, 2,092 volunteers removed 8,403 pounds of waste. In Monterey County, 1,056 volunteers removed 12,552 pounds of waste. The number one item removed from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary was cigarette butts. Volunteers collected more than 3,300 cigarette butts alone at Cowell and Main Beach in Santa Cruz County. Preliminary results from Save Our Shores Annual Coastal Cleanup reports more than 12,500 cigarette butts. Another surprising item was Mylar balloons. At the Salinas River National Wildlife

A new Memorandum of Understanding with the Pacific Grove POA was inked at the Sept. 21 City Council meeting. Members of the Police Officers Association had already agreed to the new Memorandum of Understanding on Sept. 8. The current one expired in December, 2014. Among the main features are • a term ending June 30, 2018 • increases in employee contributions to PERS retirement • salary increases for POA members of 2.8 percent • Health insurance contribution by the City of $600 per month effective retroactively to July 1, 2016 and $800 per month effective January, 2017 and $1,100 per month effective in January, 2018. It was one of Chief Amy Christey's goals to set a new agreement in place and work to bring the department up to a full staff of 21 from its current 14.

PAGREEMENT From Page 1

Joan Skillman

Ken Cuneo, councilmember, has long advocated a return to city-funded health insurance, and he said at the City Council meeting “We should have the entire staff covered. It makes us competitive in hiring.” Health insurance had been negotiated out by the POA in 2006, in favor of higher salaries. The fiscal impact of the new agreement is estimated at $359,065 by the third year, assuming that all vacancies will be filled. But it is anticipated that there will still be vacancies and that not all eligible employees will take advantage of the plan because they may be covered under another plan by their respective spouses. City Manager Ben Harvey is optimistic that city revenue will be better than originally forecase due to increases in short term rental transient occupancy tax and other factors. Rudy Fischer was also pleased with the agreement. “This is reasonable and fair,” he said. “It brings us in line with other departments.” Said Mayor Bill Kampe, “Now it's important to work on funding scenarios.”

PCLEANUP From Page 1

Refuge, Site Captain and Sanctuary Steward Karen Gunby told Save Our Shores that “I’ve never seen this many mylar balloons at any cleanup.” Hearts and love included, many were leftover from Valentine’s Day. Standout cleanup sites include the Pajaro River, Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Reserve, and Sand City Beach. Together, these three sites exceeded 10,000 pounds of trash due in part to illegal dumping. Debris outliers and grossities include: A toilet tank, mattresses, a luggage scale, crab pots, shopping carts, construction cement and materials, a few hundred nurdles, truck wheels and tires, smoking pipes, vibrators, 15 ft. of carpet, irrigation drains, refrigerators, antique glass bottles, bullet shells, the hood of a car, car doors, and a car engine, pitch forks, lawn mowers, and a 5-gallon bottle of Korean made hydrogen peroxide.

Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce Presents Annual Coastal Cleanup Day targets 80 beach, waterway sites

Save Our Shores Looks to Volunteers Sept. 17

Annual Coastal Cleanup Day is the world’s largest volunteer effort for the ocean. Every year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers remove millions of pounds of trash from beaches across the globe. Here along California’s Central Coast, marine conservation nonprofit, Save Our Shores (SOS), coordinates one of the state’s largest volunteer efforts. The nonprofit is leading nearly 80 beach, river, and inland cleanup sites—stretching more than 85 miles of coastline from Waddell Creek Beach in Northern Santa Cruz County to the Big Sur Coast in Monterey County. Annual Coastal Cleanup is a one-day event on Saturday, September 17 from 9 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are needed: saveourshores. org/acc Save Our Shores’ 32nd Annual Coastal Cleanup Day is exclusively run by volunteers and partners who are invested in keeping their local marine environment healthy. Last year, nearly 3,300 volunteers prevented 8.2 tons of trash from entering the ocean and harming marine wildlife. Among the waste collected: cigarette butts, plastic bags, food wrappers, cans, bottles, as well as mattresses, refrigerators, and tires. This year, Save Our Shores is looking to increase their volunteer participation and remove even more waste from the central coast. Getting involved is easy and free. Go to saveourshores.org/acc for volunteer pre-registration and select a beach or waterway to help clean in Santa Cruz or Monterey County. The rest of the day is reserved for relaxing with family and friends, soaking up the sun, and getting rewarded with free food and prizes.

Scout Makes A Family Fun Area At Methodist Church

Josh Bowman, Eagle Scout candidate from Troop 90, chose as his project a less-than-inviting area behind the First United Methodist

Church on Sunset. “We were hoping to make it into an area where families could gather for barbecuesand other activities,” said

church liaison, Diedre McLay. Giving up their Saturdays, Josh and his fellow Scouts first demolished a decrepit brick barbecue and hauled

the detritus off to the dump. They constructed a divider fence out of leftover logs and branches to delineate the barbecue area.

Butterfly Parade and Butterfly Bazaar Oct. 1

This year the parade starts at 10:30 am. The Bazaar opens at 11:00am and runs until 2:00 p.m. The Bazaar is a joint fundraiser put on by the PTA’s of Robert Down and Forest Grove Elementary Schools, the PG Middle School and PG High School. Proceeds are divided evenly amoung the PTA’s and fund all sorts of great activities and materials to supplement education in our schools. The Bazaar will feature food items, including pizza, hot dogs, baked potatoes, nachos, fruit, lemonade, snow cones and popcorn. There will be a bake sale, face painting, inflatable slide and obstacle course as well as a bunch of fun carnival games. We will also have apparel for sale with a unique logo for this year’s event.

Repurposed pavers now set aside the barbecue area.

Josh and his dad, Roger, celebrate completion of the project. Mom, Keri, was the Project Photographer.

Gentrain Society Lectures

The Gentrain Society of Monterey Peninsula College is sponsoring these free public lectures in September and October, 2016. For lengthier descriptions and illustrations for these talks please see the Gentrain website. Wednesday, October 5, 2016 Gentrain Society Lecture: Salvador Dali in the Monterey Peninsula Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $2.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895  Hilary Roberts will speak on the recently opened Dali17 Museum, where she is Art & Exhibit Coordinator. Dali17 is a permanent exhibition of art (including original etchings, mixed media, lithographs, and rare sculptures) by one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated surrealist artists, Spaniard Salvador Dali. Dali17 is the first permanent Dali exhibition on the West Coast, and the largest private collection on exhibit in the United States. Monterey was the only place outside of Spain where Salvador Dali lived and painted in the 1940s. Dali and his wife Gala stayed at the Hotel Del Monte in 1941 and 1942, and when the Navy took over during WWII they were moved to Cottage Row at the Del Monte Lodge, now the Lodge at Pebble Beach, where they stayed from 1943 to 1948. The Dali17 showcases his influence locally and the history that ties him to the Monterey region.    Wednesday, October 19, 2016 Gentrain Society Lecture: Robert Louis Stevenson’s Monterey Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $2.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895  Actor and playwright Keith Decker will present “Robert Louis Stevenson’s Monterey,” a slide-illustrated talk on the celebrated author’s time in Monterey during an historically pivotal moment. Chris Quist (Monterey Historic State Parks) has recently discovered images from turn-of-the-century Monterey, which Decker plans to show along with some interjected essays and related materials from Stevenson’s three months in Monterey. Decker is an avid Stevenson aficionado and past president of the RLS Club of Monterey. Decker states of Stevenson, “His time here was so brief, yet this time figured prominently in his career and memory.”

Poetry in the Grove: Meeting on Oct. 1

We will read William Stafford’s poetry when we meet on Oct. 1, 2016. This Midwest farm boy speaks of life with a succinct and gentle voice. Delightful reading for a Saturday afternoon together. Please see the attached flyer for more information about the October 1 gathering. How These Words Happen In winter, in the dark hours, when others were asleep, I found these words and put them together by their appetites and respect for each other. In stillness, they jostled. They traded meanings while pretending to have only one. Monstrous alliances never dreamed of before began. Sometimes they lost. Never again do they separate in this world. They are together. They have a fidelity that no purpose of pretense can ever break. And all of this happens like magic to the words in those dark hours when others sleep. From The Way It Is: New & Selected Poems by William Stafford

LLCs in a Nutshell Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.

Planning for Each Generation Limited Liability Companies, or “LLC’s,” are popular legal structures for maintaining investment assets or operating a business. Although they involve additional administration and specific formalities, they can also provide many benefits. Establishing an LLC One of the first considerations in establishing an LLC is choosing the right jurisdiction. LLC’s may be formed in any of the 50 states regardless of where the owners, or “members,” reside or where the LLC is to conduct business. The home state of the members might not necessarily be the optimum jurisdiction for forming an LLC. Rules related to the degree of asset protection, taxation, and obligations members of LLC’s owe each other should be carefully contemplated when choosing the appropriate jurisdiction. If a jurisdiction other than the location of the business is chosen, the LLC will have to register in each state in which it conducts business. Another key consideration is how the LLC should be structured. LLC’s may be structured as “single-member LLC’s,” where one person (or a married couple in a community property state) owns the LLC, or a “multi-member LLC” where multiple parties own the LLC. By default, single-member LLC’s are treated as disregarded entities for income tax purposes, meaning that taxation falls upon the individual owner, while multi-member LLC’s are treated as partnerships for income tax purposes and a separate partnership tax return must be filed on behalf of the LLC each year. However, both single-member and multi-member LLC’s may elect to be treated as corporations for income tax purposes. Naming the LLC is another important step. Most jurisdictions provide searchable online databases to make a preliminary check on name availability. If an LLC is to be formed in one state while it conducts business in another state, further

investigation as to the name availability in both states should be performed. After filing the application documents with the appropriate government agency in the state of establishment, it is often prudent to draft a detailed operating agreement that governs how the internal workings of the LLC should be conducted. In addition, minutes of the initial meetings of the members should be executed, membership certificates to the owners should be issued, and assets should be transferred into the LLC. Pros of Establishing an LLC: One benefit of establishing an LLC is to provide centralized management when there are multiple owners. For example, if four siblings inherit rental properties, they might wish to appoint one manager to act on behalf of the rental properties to collect rent, authorize repairs, pay bills, and distribute the net income to the owners. Another benefit of forming an LLC is asset protection. If properly established and administered, LLC’s in all 50 states will provide a degree of asset protection against “inside creditors,” that is creditors who have a claim against the business as a whole rather than against the individual members. For example, if an LLC owns a rental property and a person is injured on the property, the plaintiff is limited to the assets of the LLC and is barred from pursuing a claim against assets of the individual LLC members. In a limited number of jurisdictions, known as “charging order only” states, LLC’s can also provide a degree of asset protection against “outside creditors,” that is creditors who have a claim against the member personally rather than against the LLC as a whole. For example, if a member of an LLC is liable for a personal act that is unrelated to the LLC such as a car accident or professional malpractice, LLC’s can prevent the plaintiff from pursuing a claim against the assets of the LLC or the

member’s ownership interest in the LLC. LLC’s can also be useful as an estate tax reduction strategy. Partial interests of LLC’s can be gifted to family members or friends over time in a manner that allows significant estate reduction that could potentially reduce the estate tax liability by hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. Cons of Establishing an LLC: There are drawbacks to establishing and maintaining and LLC as well. Although there are online, “do-it-yourself” companies that advertise they can establish an LLC for a nominal fee, such companies are not able to give comprehensive counsel on the many considerations mentioned above. Often the better route is to consult both an attorney and a CPA when establishing an LLC which will result in professional fees. Maintaining an LLC can also be expensive. Many states require a “minimum franchise tax” to be paid every year for the privilege of owning an LLC. Additional reporting requirements, tax filings, and formal administration procedures can also add to the expense and complication of running an LLC.

Times • Page 7

Finally, for LLC’s that hold real property in California with a low property tax base, LLC’s are not eligible for the application of the parent/child exclusion for Prop. 13 tax purposes. If an individual owns real property in an LLC at the time of his/her death, the individual’s children might be subject to a dramatic property tax reassessment that would not be applicable if the asset were held in the owner’s individual name or through a trust. If the Prop. 13 assessed value is significantly lower than the fair market value, one will have to think carefully about whether the benefits of establishing an LLC are worth the potential property tax reassessment.

We are in Pacific Grove in 1986. The SPCA Benefit Shop had been remodeled and was ready to open but we were very shorthanded. I mentioned some of the stores on Forest Avenue. Joe Shammas reminded me that where Pavel’s Bakery is was Delahanety upholstery shop and those of you who were around remember city hall had no back patio and the offices were old. I seem to recall, also, that the clock did not work. The one constant is Grove Market which was and is going strong. It was known as The Last Home Town. It has grown but still has the atmosphere of the little city we love so much. I put out the word that we needed help in the shop. It was quite amazing and rewarding. Those who had been on board worked as many shifts as necessary, but it seemed that new folk appeared daily. One was a woman who had just moved here to be with her family after the death of her husband. Her name was Corinne Thomas. Her daughter is Karen Calandra, son-in-law, Jim. Corinne signed in and became a staunch volunteer and friend until her death 20 some years later. We became very close. I was enchanted by her sense of humor and devotion. If it was necessary to work late, she stayed with me. One night we were starting to close when a sea gull flew in, he swooped and soared. Corinne chased him with a broom, hoping to shoo him out. He sailed from the front of the shop, through the curtains into the back room and finally turned, zooming into the window area. A gigantic wedding bed filled the area and we couldn’t get in to chase him. Birds were no stranger to us. They nested above the sign over the front door. When we heard chirping, we knew that summer was near. However, it was rare that one came inside. In the case of our visitor we really didn’t know what to do. I told Corinne to go home, but she would have none of it. It was getting dark, but we dared not leave. For one thing we knew that if trapped inside he (or she?) might “decorate” all of the goods... We were pondering our next step, when a young man walked by. He spotted “Jonathon” (remember the famous story?). “Do you mind if I help?” he asked. Did we mind? We were ecstatic! things couldn’t get any worse. He asked for a towel and then inched into the window. It was then we saw a bird whisperer at work. His voice was soft, the bird stopped the frantic wing beating, cocked his head and listened. Our savior (and the bird’s) reached in with the towel, gently swaddled the creature and moved him out of the store. Jonathon flew happily away. “Who are you? And where did you come?” from I asked. “Oh, I was just walking by when I saw the bird in the window”. I am just up here for a couple of hours from Big Sur. I work at The Ventana Wildlife Society”... We offered him some cookies and he went on his way. I don’t recall that I ever saw him again, but I am not sure about the gull, either. They all look alike. And did you know that they love red cars? Just take a look at mine, doesn’t matter where I park, they find me. Do you suppose it is Jonathon seeking revenge for curtailing his activities? Ten years later I was standing in the shop when Wally Getz, our landlord stopped by. “Jane, why aren’t you in Rotary?” “Oh, I don’t know, I never thought about it” John had been a member of Monterey Sunrise for years. I was very familiar with the good works done by the organization, but it didn’t occur to me that I might become a member. Volunteer work was part of my DNA and I was still very involved with a number of non-profit organizations. Colonial Dames which preserves our history, the Monterey County Symphony and SPCA Auxiliary. My job was full time and while the SPCA encouraged outside activities, I was hesitant about taking on more. Nonetheless, when he invited me to a meeting I accepted. The Rotary Club of Pacific Grove met in Sticks at the Inn at Spanish Bay. They gathered at noon for lunch and a speaker. I was more curious than interested but went with Wally to one of the Tuesday events. There were not many women. The club had been one of the first to accept females as members in 1989 and Pam Norton, one of the first of the “fair sex” members, had been President in 1994. Everyone was warm and friendly. I thought about it over the holidays and realized that if I dropped other involvements I would be able to work it in. In January I was invited to a lunch at Fandango with three members — Bill Schofield, Dick Eldred and Jim Calandra, the son-in-law of Corinne Thomas. They outlined the responsibilities of members. Corinne told me how much Jim enjoyed Rotary. So, I cut back on meetings which took me away from the shop and jumped in with both feet, as it were. I found that Rotary is so beneficial to its members and the community that involvement has been more than positive. This is what happens in our community: the ripples touch. In early 1997 I became a full time member. Members of the club contributed much to the SPCA Benefit Shop and when the SPCA moved its store operation to Carmel, I was asked to assist AFRP. The club assisted whenever asked with manpower, donations and patronage. Who knew that when I became manager of the shop on Forest Avenue, which I felt would be short term, it would evolve into a career change which has lasted 30 years? More tales of “rummage workers” in columns to come...

Journalists in the Schools Tom Stevens

Otter Views (This excerpt derives from a previous incarnation as a daily newspaper reporter). “Engledow and Stevens,” the boss’s note began, its use of last names disquieting. “It is your turn to go into the schools. An English teacher at (name deleted because this is a small town) School wants reporters to talk to her sixth grade classes. I want a feature and photos. Have fun. That is all.” For newspaper reporters, going “into the schools” is frightening for a couple of reasons. First, most of us don’t like schools. If we did, we would have stayed in them long enough to qualify for some vital, high-paying profession like investment banking or psychiatry. Instead, we went into journalism, a career that produces more than its share of psychiatry patients. Second, it’s no fun eating a school lunch. There’s always something warm and gravy-covered in the middle of the tray, something cold in a little cup on the side, and a single slice of soft white bread with a pat of frozen butter that rips the bread when you try to spread it. The schools think this is a “nutritionally balanced meal,” but reporters can’t eat this kind of stuff. We have to have a stale tuna sandwich and a Twinkie, preferably eaten while driving at high speed away from a school. But the real reason we don’t care to go into the schools is that we’re afraid. We’re writers, not talkers. We can write all day about what other people do, but if we have to talk for even 15 minutes about what we do, our knees knock, our voices shake and we have to go to the lavoratory. That’s why I always try to arrive late whenever I talk to a class. Knowing that most periods are 50 minutes long, I get to the school 15 minutes late (“Sorry, went to the wrong school”), then spend 15 minutes slowly circling the campus on foot (“Sorry, went to the wrong building”).

That leaves 15 minutes to tell all there is to know about newspapers and reporting (“newspapers exist to sell advertising, and reporters exist to sit in the newsroom and drink coffee”) and five minutes for “question and answer.” Since most sixth graders would rather be surfing or French-braiding their friends’ hair, there usually aren’t any questions from them, so the teacher has to think some up. The reporter can answer these by saying “I don’t know,” and soon can be speeding away from the school eating a Twinkie. The day we went to (name deleted) School was different. Engledow drove, so we got to the right school on the right day. I was about to slink away for 15 minutes of “looking for the right classroom,” when a vibrant young sixth grade teacher strode up to welcome us. Eyes flashing merrily, ash-blonde hair cascading down her back, her stride springy and athletic, Ms. Thristle clearly was new to the teaching profession, her spirit as yet unbroken by years of spitball warfare and school lunches. “Thanks so much for coming today,” she said, leading us toward her classroom. “The kids have been looking forward to this all week.” “So have we!” Engledow chirped, giving me a little elbow shot in the ribs. “We love to talk to sixth graders, don’t we, Tom?” I was stammering a reply when the bell erupted over our heads with titanic force, shattering the soft September morning like Ella Fitzgerald’s voice splintering a wine glass. There followed a rumble of footsteps, and we were swept into the classroom by a tidal wave of shouting, laughing, singing, stomping, book-toting, boogalooing, Valley Talking, hair-combing, locker-slamming, gum-cracking, high-fiving, hand-jiving miniature but perfectly formed human beings. Ms. Thristle’s first-period students whizzed around us like electrons circling an adult neutron mass, their faces shining with the youthful radiance of Piero Della Francesca cherubs. I suddenly felt old, gray and meaningless. “I think I’ll go to breakfast now,” I told Engledow. “You take the first two periods; I’ll take the next two.” Over pancakes at a nearby restaurant, I tried to imagine what possible account I could give of the antiquated business of newspaper reporting to hyperactive tweeners locked into a fast-forward digital age. “Reading newspapers is fun and interesting?” No, that sounded too much like a library poster. “Newspapers inform us of important world events?” Okay, but what kind of events? What kind of world? I leafed through the morning paper. “Infant Devoured by Hogs in Oslo.” “Chainsaw Murderer Longed for Movie Star’s Love.” “Tank Car Explosions Rip Tallahassee.” “Government Sees No Danger in Nuclear Plant Meltdown.” Alas, 90 percent of the “news” that day, as most days, was needlessly bad. So, when third and fourth periods came, we talked about surfing.

Sheila Delimont (studio #11) appreciates the nuances of the central coast’s light and the sculptural character of its hills in pastel and oil. Mark Farina (studio # 2) paints in oil and watercolor en plein air landscape, but also in the studio paints still-life, architecture and figures. Barbara Furbush (studio #7) is a printmaker capturing the ephemeral feeling of sky and water, as well as figurative work in bodyprints and participatory works.

September 23, 2016 • CEDAR STREET

The first theme in our nine month PG Library series was about grounding ourselves in this piney paradise. In this week’s column, Patricia Hamilton reflects back on how she and her family arrived in our beloved “Last Hometown.” Seekers All California was the Wild West in 1890 when my great great grandparents, the Reverend Sylvanus Gale, his wife Jane, and seven of their eight children moved from Michigan to Pacific Grove to begin their two-year residence as the itinerant Methodist ministers, just as the original resplendent church was completed. The Reverend and his sons built the first parsonage. Like the original church, the old parsonage is now gone. I relocated here in 1990 to visit my aged aunt, Charlotte Berry, who lived in my late Grandfather Harry Murray’s house at 562 Park Place. I’m still here! As a child visiting in PG I loved following scuttling hermit crabs and splashing in the cool waters at Lovers Point. As a teen I ordered bacon waffles when breakfasting with Grandpa Murray at Alioti’s Victorian Corner, his favorite restaurant. As an adult my eyes were opened to the serenity and beauty of the entire area. And maybe it’s also a little “blood memory,” as I felt completely at home the instant I arrived and was welcomed by Aunt Charlotte. The old Methodist church was torn down in the 1960s. Grandpa, raised Methodist but ever the seeker, sat through Sunday sermons with the Baptists, the Congregationalists, and the Evangelicals. He finally committed himself and some hefty tithing to the Catholics. Shocking! Cousin Dave says he gave money to them all, though, trying to cover all the bases for salvation. Aunt Charlotte was a Seventh Day Adventist. She told me, “The Bible says God rested on the seventh day, so that’s why it’s right.” Members of her church

Pacific Grove artist Keith Larson draws on his childhood memories to create this image of the original Methodist Church, which was located on the north side of Lighthouse Avenue between 17th and 18th streets.

called her “Charlie,” and she loved that nickname. In memoriam, I purchased a brick with her name etched on it to support the purchase and planting of the commemorative evergreen tree that’s lit every Christmas, with community singing and celebration in Jewell Park. Grandpa carved his house into three apartments. He lived in the upstairs apartment facing Jewell Park, and rented out the other top floor apartment facing Grand Avenue, with a peek of the blue waters of Monterey Bay. Charlotte and I lived in Grandpa’s place and I often sat on the front porch, watching Pagrovians enjoying the park. It was a short walk to the Pill Box Pharmacy (now Central Avenue Pharmacy) for Auntie’s prescriptions and to Charlie Higuera’s Grove Market (still here!) for all our groceries. Grandpa’s tenant invited me to attend the Rev. Bill Little’s Pacific Coast Church, which was meeting in the auditorium at Robert Down School on Pine Street. Today their much bigger congregation has found a home in the old Christian Science church on Fountain and Central avenues. That’s where my Uncle Clyde and Aunt Frances worshipped when they came to town. Charline, my mother and Charlotte’s triplet sister, sent us kids to a variety of Holy Roller churches, including the Assembly of God and Church of the Nazarene. Seekers all! I digress. Dr. Bill’s message was inclusive of all the world’s great religions— Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and others. There, I was “saved” from damnation merely listening to the first sermon I heard him deliver. Apropos that I was seated in a back row in a grade school auditorium. But that’s another story.

California housing market loses momentum as affordability crunch stifles home sales Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors

Market Matters

California home sales downshifted in August as low housing affordability and a tight supply of homes for sale cut into demand, especially in high cost areas of the San Francisco Bay region, according to theCalifornia Association of Realtors®. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 420,360 units in August, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2016 if sales maintained the August pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. The August figure was up 1.1 percent from the revised 415,840 level in July and down 2.2 percent compared with home sales in August 2015 of a revised 429,900. Home sales remained above the 400,000 pace for the fifth straight month, but sales have declined year over year for the sixth consecutive month. “We are seeing the market tempering, which is being driven by reduced affordability and not enough homes for sale on the market, particularly in the San Francisco Bay regions, where runaway home prices have constrained home sales,” said

C.A.R. President Pat “Ziggy” Zicarelli. “Two of the region’s least affordable counties – Marin and Santa Clara – saw sales fall from a year ago, while Contra Costa and Sonoma counties experienced more modest slowdowns. Conversely, in many parts of the Central Valley, where homes are more affordable and demand has been relatively strong, home sales posted healthy increases. Likewise, sales of condominiums statewide were strong, thanks to their relative affordability.” The statewide median price remained above the $500,000 mark for the fifth straight month and is at its highest level in nearly seven years. There are, however, signs of an expected slowing in price growth. The median price of an existing, single-family detached California home was up 1.7 percent in August to $526,580 from $517,650 in July. August’s median price increased 5.8 percent from the revised $497,520 recorded in August 2015. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. The continuing rising home prices despite falling sales suggests that demand continues to outstrip new supply coming online, which is pushing prices higher.

Central Avenue Storm Water Equipment Project

All that trouble to install this. Staff photo

Major Portion of Storm Drain and Sanitary Sewer Project Now Compete

The City of Pacific Grove has completed the installation of a Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS) unit in Central Avenue that is tied into one of the City’s largest storm drain systems. A CDS unit screens, separates and traps debris that flows through the storm drain system prior to the outfall above Green Wood Park. This system was installed as part of the 14th and Sinex Storm Drain and Sanitary Sewer Project that is nearing completion. The Installation of the CDS unit consisted of the entire block of Central, between 12th and 13th Street, to be closed and the road had to be completely opened up to fit the mechanical devices. The CDS unit is approximately 12 feet wide and 26 feet deep and the diversion structure is roughly 10 feet in height and 16 feet in length. This massive equipment took more than a month to install but the benefits greatly outweigh the disruption to Central Avenue. Now that the road has been repaved and is open for traffic one will not even know that these systems are in place as they simply have only a manhole within the road surface. This is the fifth CDS unit that the City has installed. The City has two at Lovers Point, now the one at Green Wood Park and two within Ocean View between Dewey and Eardley. Twice a year the City uses our Vactor Truck, which is literally a vacuum on wheels, and cleans the units. - Dan Gho

Pebble Beach Company Owes the People an Apology Editor:

The Pebble Beach Company owes the people of Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove an apology, not an apartment complex in Area D. Back in 1986, the company promised this area would remain undeveloped in exchange for the Congress Road extension that was constructed before the proper permits were in place. After seven years of fighting, the road was finally approved and the Supervisors were very clear that they wanted no development along this new road as added traffic on the narrow, windy roads in the area had caused nothing but problems during those seven years. PBC managed to delay a hearing on the issue for 20 years, until development of Area D was first suggested at a LUAC meeting in 2013. By that time most of the people who knew that this issue deserved a hearing were gone. In 2000, the company spearheaded local Measure A and induced voters to support the measure by once again offering protection for Area D as part of that measure. They could not get approval by the Coastal Commission, but the passage of Measure A by more than 60 percent of the voters induced the Coastal Commission staff to come to the table and work out a plan for development. That agreement did not include development of Area D as part of that 2010 concept plan. Putting inclusionary housing in Pebble Beach is not a good idea. None of the services necessary for working people and families are readily available in Pebble Beach. All services must be accessed by car through Country Club Gate or SFB Morse Road access on Hwy 68 causing additional traffic problems or on foot where there are no sidewalks to public transit access. One person at the hearing suggested redevelopment of an apartment complex and additional distressed homes that were for sale nearby instead of new construction. That could be accomplished without the necessity of any additional water credits or traffic problems and this would provide much better housing than the 24 small apartments proposed in this project. These small units are not comparable to the market homes being built which is required (up to four bedrooms) under the inclusionary housing regulations. A change in location to one of the alternates compared or an alternative of redevelopment of existing properties for real family inclusionary housing would have been a win-win for everyone. The project location in Area D is a bog when it rains. The changes PBC made when they cut SFB Morse Road have created problems with the Sawmill Creek drainage which has resulted in a huge erosion gash that is headed straight for the project site. The reclamation work that was to have been done by PBC as part of the original Spanish Bay development in 1987 has not been fully successful and there are erosion issues throughout the sand mining areas. Congress Road is a busy road where traffic travels fast and there is a blind curve on one end of the proposed development. There is no play area for children included in the plans and no sidewalks along these busy roads or on the adjoining roads to town. Input from the City of Pacific Grove as well as many residents of the area was ignored and the Board didn’t hesitate before voting in favor of this proposal without one single change. I was very disappointed with the Supervisors who each spent a lot of time at the conclusion of the hearing congratulating Pebble Beach on this wonderful plan, but only allowing one minute each for comments from citizens. It is only a question of when, not if, an accident involving trucks/autos/pedestrians happens or some injury or fire occurs as a result of a poorly located development. There will be a lawsuit and plaintiffs will be looking for the “big pockets” to sue. Those pockets will be the Pebble Beach Company and the County of Monterey for approving a development that is not only environmentally the worst choice of the alternatives, but also not the best choice for inclusionary housing and the people who will live there. No trees have been cut yet. There is still time for PBC and the County to work out a better solution for inclusionary housing that will benefit everyone. I hope that they will reconsider this matter.

Your Letters Shining Star of Pacific Grove Editor: I have lived across the street from the Morris Dill Tennis Center in Pacific Grove for 40 years. Our home on the corner of 14th and Gibson looks right into the courts. Part or our daily life is witnessing the action on the courts. For many years, it was often not pleasant as the yelling and negative talk of the coach intruded through the walls of our home and we felt sorry for the students. For the last 12 years, we and the community have been gifted with very dedicated and encouraging coaches. Armand and Sevan Zenopian make wonderful neighbors and to witness them interact with their students is always a positive experience. They welcome young people to experience the game and find the relationship to it in a way that is encouraging and friendly and never harsh or demeaning in any way. Their tone of voice is always warm and engaging. And they champion the young people who get hooked on the game and want to make a big commitment. Day after day, with consistency that is impressive and heartwarming they make the courts a welcoming place for growth and learning through the game of tennis. I am grateful to have such wonderful neighbors and to know that our community has such fine teachers for young and old wanting to explore and develop their tennis game. Sincerely, Fred Jealous 488 Gibson Ave.

Cynthia Garfield for City Council Editor: I’m writing on behalf of Cynthia Garfield, who is running for City Council this fall. Cynthia is an exemplary citizen of Pacific Grove, and has the kind of intelligence, leadership, and most-importantly, teamwork attitude that we need in the city and on the Council. She’s a strong advocate for restoration and maintenance of our trail and coastline, for management of short-term rentals, and for expense controls. She’s also a very positive person who believes in searching for new revenue ideas for the long-term health and growth of our city. On the personal side, Cynthia is extremely bright and has been an educator, an executive director, and is a tireless volunteer. She is the President of the PG Public Library Foundation, an active member of the Point Lobos Foundation Board, and participates in the cleanup every year at Perkins Park. She and her husband, Dr. Mark Garfield, have made Pacific Grove their home, and we’re all better off for it. I honestly cannot think of a more well-suited person than Cynthia to be a part of our leadership in Pacific Grove. Ron Lloyd Pacific Grove

Support Measure P

Opinion

Editor: The Measure P Admission Tax as the Monterey Bay Aquarium claims will not cause non-profit organizations to shut down. Even though this tax would not cost them any money out of their own pocket, the Aquarium is fighting this measure quite vigorously. They have even hired a large law firm with offices around the state to help them oppose this important measure. Measure P could provide up to $4 million a year for city services and upkeep in Pacific Grove. This is additional revenue that the city needs so it can fix up the parks that our children play in and tourists visit. It will also allow the city to put in better sidewalks around schools, along the safe routes to those schools, more lighted crosswalks around the city for the safety of all residents and tourists, and to provide more recreational activities to help our kids develop physically and socially. It will also, allow us to fix up our crumbling roads and our declining forests, both used and enjoyed by residents and tourists alike. The Monterey Bay Aquarium sent out a letter stating the measure is poorly written, complex, and unworkable. That is, of course, utter nonsense. As a matter of fact, Measure P is heavily based on Admission Tax ordinances that have been in place for up to 30 years in many communities all over the state – including San Francisco and Santa Cruz. It is the purchaser of the ticket who pays the tax not the organization or business; like Lighthouse Cinema. They still get the full price of the movie ticket, while you and I pay the admission tax. The Monterey Bay Aquarium has launched an enormous campaign riddled with insults, false assertions and fear. For their own reasons they have decided to fight Pacific Grove, one of the communities that helped them get started back in 1984. An example of our help then and now includes allowing them to pay the city $1.00 a year rent for the use of the tidelands the aquarium sits on. Measure P is an admission tax that will be paid by all (residents and tourists). Since the Monterey Bay Aquarium is looking out for their own interests, I encourage voters of Pacific Grove to look out for your best interests. Support your city by voting “Yes” on Measure P.

Kate Daniel at AT&T Park on Sept. 16 (©2016 S.F. Giants) Pacific Grove’s Kate Daniel performed the National Anthem before 41,278 fans at AT&T Park on Sept. 16 at a game which resulted in a 8 to 2 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals who are in a tight race for a wild card post season position with both the Mets and Giants. After the game Daniel reported that “it was a magical night filled with fun and supportive fans and family.”. Daniel went on to explain that “The Giants staff were great and it was so fun being on the infield with my husband, two sons and niece, brushing shoulders with Jefferey Leonard and watching Kevin Durant throw out the first pitch.” As a result of Daniel performing the National Anthem the Big Sur Fire Districtwill receive a grant from the S.F. Credit Fire Union. Daniel is the lead singer of very popular Pacific Grove band and signing group “FIREFLY.”

Kate Daniel on the field at AT&T Park. (©2016 S.F. Giants) The winning pitcher for the Giants on Sept. 16 was Matt Moore. The Giants won by a score of 8 to 2 with the Giants runs being scored in the third and fourth innings. Moore threw 93 pitches including 53 strikes. Hunter Pence extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Buster Posey hit his 13th home run of the game. The Giants kept their post season hopes alive by defeating the Dodgers in game two of their present series with the L.A. on the road in Los Angeles. The Giants won after losing a hard fought game on Sept. 19. The Giants shut out the Dodgers on Sept. 20 by a score of 2 to nothing. The winning pitcher was Johnny Cueto. Sergio Romo was credited with the save. The losing pitcher for L.A was Rich Hill . There were 53, 621 fan in attendance at the night time game. Cueto threw 77 pitches including 53 strikes. Going into the the Sept. 20 game Cueto had a season record of 16 wins and 5 loses and an ERA of 2.86. Cueto was forced to leave the game in the 6th inning with a suspected left groin strain. It will take a MRI scan to determine just how serious the injury is. The Giants were counting on Cueto to start in their next road trip series soon to start in San Diego. Brandon Crawford suffered dislocated finger injury sliding into 3 base in the second inning. The Giants are five games back as of the morning of Sept. 21 in the race for the Western Division of the National League and in a very tight wild card race with the Mets and St. Louis. - Bob Silverman

Boondogglers and Bellyachers vs. Local Mountain Movers Monterey Workshop Addresses Affordable Housing Solutions

Boondoggling and protocol-honoring seem indistinguishable to a homeless person like CeliaSue Hecht, 66, who spends cold nights in a car because she can’t find an affordable room. Boondogglers are those who could get things done to solve the problem, but use stall and delay tactics to prolong a situation until it fades out, is forgotten, goes bust or dies. Homeowners with empty rooms to rent fall often into that category. City halls are especially notorious for boondoggling, but Boondogglers can be any and all procrastinators. Should any person complain too openly about lack of affordable housing, he or she falls into the category my Ozarks-born father called Bellyachers. Bellyachers can be everyone who complains about anything except their own actions or ideas, especially during election years, but actually present at all times. To affordable-housing seekers, the City of Monterey probably appears to have been boondoggling since its March 23 adoption of the 2015-2023 Housing Element. They’re wrong. The city was actually following parliamentary procedural protocol. A third category of person in Ozarkese is the Mountain Mover, one who gets things done. On Monterey’s Affordable Housing stage, John Q. Public played that dramatic role in this week’s city council meeting where Shakespeare might have summed up the conclusion by asking: To amend or not amend the Housing Element? That was the question!

Homeless in Paradise Housing Element was the question State law requires California cities and counties to address the needs of all income groups in their Housing Element as provided by the California Dept. of Housing and Community Development (HCD). At the March 23, 2016 meeting, Monterey City Council voted to adopt the 2015-2023 Housing Element with the proviso the city had six months in which to evaluate five amendments that might be added to the Housing Element to ameliorate its affordable housing dilemma. The Planning Department’s Housing Issues Community Workshop was held Aug. 31 at the Monterey Youth Center, with 110 signed in and many more unregistered attendees. Stations were set up for five major issues: emergency shelter zoning; short-term rentals; second units; decoupling parking costs in new rental developments; adaptive reuse of hotels and motels. Forty-one surveys were either completed at the workshop, mailed to City staff, or downloaded from the City’s website and emailed to City staff. They included questions on four of the five issues (short-term rentals, second units, adaptive reuse of hotels, and decoupling parking costs) that corresponded to the

questions on the voting posters. The same four affordable-housing issues were presented by the Planning Dept. for consideration and direction to the Monterey City Council on Sept. 20. The packed council chamber was the setting of a dramatic reenactment of Shakespeare’s old saw: All the world’s a stage, and. . . . . . all the men and women merely players. . . The performance was a brilliant presentation featuring Boondogglers, Bellyachers and Mountain Movers, a few arguing for and majority arguing against the four issues. Finally, as 11 p.m. approached, council members who went without dinner because its earlier session (related to highly charged Fisherman’s Wharf issues) overshot its mark, ended discussion of public input and Mayor Clyde Roberson said: “I move the Housing Element be left as it is, and that the City focus attention on a true affordable housing policy with regional, State, and Federal cooperation and funding, including CDBG money. Staff is directed to explore affordable housing opportunities in mixed use and R-3 zones, educate homeowners on how to rent rooms without adding second units, and to in-

crease enforcement of illegal short term, vacation rentals.” The motion passed 5-0. What’s next? The emergency shelter location overlay presentation will be on Monterey City Council’s Oct. 4 agenda. Mike Rhodes, author of “Dispatches from the War Zone” was guest speaker at the Sept. 6 ACLU meeting. His advice to those interested in cutting through bureaucratic red tape in order to get something done about affordable housing was: Just do it, then invite the authorities to see what you’ve done. If it’s working, they’ll probably approve it. If not, you tried. My dad would have said, “Aw, quit your bellyaching and do something about it.” Or as Mayor Clyde Roberson points out: In Monterey homeowners are already allowed to rent out rooms. No permission is needed. Does anyone reading this column want to rent a spare bedroom for $250$500 and share your kitchen and bath? If yes, quit boondoggling. Let me know.

‘Iconic” Contemporary Art Visits All Saints’, other Galleries in Carmel Over Two Months Artist and Visionary Ludmila Pawlowska Celebrated with Workshops, Concertsm Tours and More

“Iconic” is the word for a unique exhibition of contemporary art and artifacts coming to Carmel in September. The exhibition, titled “Icons in Transformation,” presents over 200 paintings, sculptures, frescos and tapestry weavings, some over 8 feet tall, which will be on display at All Saints' Episcopal Church and at selected galleries throughout the area from September 25 through November 20. THE ART The bulk of the exhibit was created by Russian artist Ludmila Pawlowska, and includes many of her large-scale metal, limestone and gesso-covered sculptures and paintings. They are juxtaposed with enduring religious art forms, some from early Christian history to modern times. The exhibit, sponsored in conjunction with the Nordic Art Council of Copenhagen, has toured internationally to cathedrals and museums and has met with critical acclaim. This is its first Northern California tour. EVENTS During the two-month event, All

Saints' Episcopal Church will offer lectures, workshops for adults and children, concerts and tours to facilitate the exhibit and enhance the study of this historic art form called windows to heaven. Speakers include faculty members from Stanford University and the Graduate Theological Union discussing the history of iconography, and even a popular mystery on the subject of a stolen icon. Concerts will feature three separate performances by the Monterey Symphony Chamber Music Players, soloists for the Monterey Symphony October concert set and Bach Festival musicians. Workshops for adults in the time-honored technique of icon writing are planned. Youth will enjoy four weekly excursions into the world of gesso-covered boards and luminescent paints. Tours will take place daily. Group tours and lectures are also available. A schedule of Fall events may be found on the All Saints' website at www.allsaintscarmel.org ARTIST BIO Artist and visionary Ludmila Pawlowska was born in exile. Her father, a

dissident, was deported to the gulags of Siberia following the Russian revolution of the 1920s and the rise of Joseph Stalin. Her mother fled to Kazakhstan, where Ludmila (Mila) was born. But Mila, a child prodigy, knew she was destined for an artistic lifestyle and eventually she departed to Moscow for study in contemporary art. This exhibit indicates the pain, suffering and eventual redemption she experienced through her family and its trials. It is this "iconic" art that depicts not decoration or illustration, but realism--sometimes savage, sometimes spiritual, but always as transformative in this day and age as it was thousands of years ago. FESTIVE GALA All Saints' will sponsor an opening night gala with the artist on Sunday, September 25, at the church's Seccombe Hall. Attendees will have the opportunity to preview and select art to purchase prior to the public opening. Tickets will be available through the church's website. For further information, contact the church office at 831-624-3883, or the website.
