Short Term Rentals In Long Term Discussion

Vol. IX, Issue 50

Hurricane Relief Heroine

By Marge Ann Jameson Once again, Pacific Grove City Council took up the question of shortterm rentals, this time to hear recommendations of city staff as well as testimony from citizens on all sides of the question.

Commentary took up the greater part of the City Council meeeting of Wed., Sept. 6 and resulted in an order to staff to return with the first reading of an ordinance continuing the program.

Discussion included a brief explanation by City Attorney David Laredo on the history and purpose of the city’s General Plan and why short-term rentals are allowed here.

There was also a presentation of the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, now complete and available on the City’s website.

City Manager Ben Harvey listed staff recommendations, after pointing out that all short-term rental licenses are time-limited and that no promises are made – or intended – to renew or extend existing licenses.

While no changes are suggested for home sharing licenses (“room rentals”), it was recommended by staff and the Planning Commission that Type A and Type B licenses be combined into one definition and be capped at 250 city-wide licenses.

Testimonials appeared to be fairly evenly balanced on both sides. Those in favor of maintaining short term rentals in some form pointed out advantages in many areas, not the least of which is income for the owners. Some indicated that they would not be able to afford the property without the additional income afforded by short term rentals. New to the discussion were statements by hospitalities – hotels and bed-and-breakfast owners and representatives that the numbers of short term rentals were eating into their profits and thus affecting the City’s transient occupancy taxes income.

Astatement by Hospitality Improvement District overseer Moe Ammar of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce was included). Apparently, over the recent Labor Day weekend, there were, however, only two vacancies in the H.I.D. Among the citizens who testified, those who were opposed to short term rentals complained about density and over-concentration of short term rentals in certain areas, notably the Retreat,

Pacific Grove resident Ellie Parigi is an 8-year-old girl who recently was so moved by the misfortune in the wake of Hurricane Harvey that she decided to help. So with the spirit and determination of great philanthropically-minded people throughout history, her grandmother PattieParigi, helped Ellie find an old jar with a good lid, and set out to fill it up with money. Off she went out her door and onto the streets, to make a difference. This remarkable person went door to door, all the afternoon and well into early evening. As the foggy dusk settled over her neighbourhood, Ellie returned home with more than her jar filled to its good lid with money: Ellie realized for her, the $300 she had collected was just the beginning. The very next day was Saturday. She went big. Instead of selling lemonade for a mere 50 cents per glass, she gave it away, provided her cusomers made a donation to her hurricane relief fund. She collected $348 by the end of the day, which she gave to her teacher, Mary Lee Newman, to see that it gets to needy people in Texas.

Aren’t We All Dreamers?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, DACA, was established during the Obama administration to protect more than 800,000 young, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. It allows them to go to school, work, and join the armed forces.

But the current administration has seen fit to announce that it is ending the DACA program, likely in six months.

As people across the nation gathered to protest the executive branch announcement of the ending of the DACA program, nearly 100 people also gathered in Monterey at Windows by the Bay. Displaying signs and chanting, the small crowd of surprisingly mostly gray-haired people elicited enthusi-

Demonstrators lined Del Monte Avenue in front of Windows on the Bay to show support for so-called Dreamers who saw their safety nets potentially destroyed when US Attorney General Sessions announced the DACA program would sunset in 6 months.

Three Pacific Grove police officers were recognized by City Council for outstanding public safety acts and service. Congratulations Officer Michael Gonzalez for your actions on April 20 that resulted with you and bystanders saving a woman’s life. Officer (SRO) Billy Hawkins and Sergeant Jeff Fenton saved a life by deploying Naloxone to a person in need. Naloxone (Narcan) is an emergency remedy for those who are suffering from an opioid overdose. The police department was trained by a local doctor from CHOMP. If not for the decisive actions of these officers, the victims would likely have lost their lives.

astic honking from drivers wending their way down Del Monte toward comfortable homes and secure futures. The protestors were gathered by networks of the Central Coast Labor Council, United Here, the Immigration Task Force and Indivisible Monterey, groups that also made sizable showings in Watsonville, Santa Cruz, and Salinas. Deb Clifford said, “It’s a very solid response to let DACA students and their families know they’re no alone.” Said Indivisible Monterey’s Tyller Williamson, “They were given a promise. We can’t go back on it now.”

American Federation of Teachers president Randi We- A moment of levity among Cedar Street Times ingarten expressed similar Editor Marge Ann Jameson, Deb Clifford, and sentiments. “Betraying DACA Indivisible Monterey’s Tyller Williamson.

Dreamers is betraying the values of our diverse and welcoming nation,” Weingarten said in a statement. “The AFT will continue to fight to protect undocumented students, refugees, individuals with temporary protective status, and their families from the threat of deportation.”

Dr. Walter Tribley, MPC Superintendent/President issued a statement Wednesday, September 6.

“Please know that access to higher education at Monterey Peninsula College is available to all and financial aid is available to those who qualify under the California State Dream Act. “It is appalling that our nation’s current divisive political culture has potentially created fear and anxiety for our most treasured resource, you [students]. Take heart that even in this political climate, there is support for you and programs like DACA—on both sides of the political divide—in Washington, D.C. and throughout this nation,” he stated.

“The California Community College system is in the process of lobbying for you[per a statement from California Community Colleges Chamcellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley]. We are 114 colleges and over 2 million students strong. Our faculty and staff are your advocates.”

In February, 2017, the Pacific Grove Unified School District Board of Trustees voted to declare the district a “safe haven” school, so that students and their families - whether in the country legally or not - could feel safe from potential deportation by immigration officers while on campus.

Pacific Grove has a large population of military and language schools. More than 35 languages are spoken in the district. There are 377 students of Latino/a descent and 771 who are students of color. Of 2081 students in PGUSD, more than 16.5 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunches.

which are popular with visitors.

Improvements in code enforcement were also demanded by many citizens who testified, despite current systems in place which include hotline calls, online complaints, emails, and phone calls. Code enforcement depends on staff inspection, police department responses and confirmations, and/or property manager or owner representation confirmation. While pointing out that the City receives no complaints for the majority of licensed properties, code enforcement improvement suggestions include better communication and even a placard to display the number of occupants authorized on a given property. A license number would also be listed on the property description of licensed properties.

After a straw vote on on what the staff had presented, Councilmember Ken Cuneo moved to direct staff to return at the next council meeting with an ordinance for first reading of a short term rental ordinance which will establish a lottery on streets where a 15 percent density is exceeded. Questions of enforcement will be discussed again.

Laredo’s contract renewed

City Council, in closed session, renewed the contract with David Laredo’s law form to continue as City Attorneys. “The competition was tough,” according to Councilmeber Ken Cuneo.

A subcommittee consisting of Bill Peake, Nick Smith, and City Manager Ben Harvey will work out details on the contract and the salary questions for later approval by the Council.

On August 1, 1896, about 2000 Salinas Valley farmers gathered at the Agricultural Hall in Salinas to hear Claus Spreckels, the “Sugar King” of Hawaii, pitch his bold new idea – to build the biggest sugar factory in the world right on their doorstep. Little did they know how significant that meeting would be. The massive new factory and outlying sugar beet ranches had a tremendous impact on the valley. Immigration, transportation, economics, settlement, and farming practices were transformed. And those impacts can still be felt today. Join Meg Clovis as she relates the bigger-than-life story of Claus Spreckels, his factory, the town that bears his name and his lasting influence on Monterey County and California. Meg Clovis served as Cultural Affairs Manager for the Monterey County Parks Department for 36 years.

With North Korea developing missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons to California and beyond, Dr. Lewis and his colleagues use a variety of publicly available information, from satellite images to computer models, to draw detailed conclusions about what North Korea has accomplished and what it might do next. Dr. Lewis is the author of two books on China’s nuclear weapons program. His research on North Korea’s activities was recently featured on NPR’s program, “This American Life.”

Possible member of counterfeiter ring exposed by CST columnist I was having lunch with a friend in Carmel Valley on Labor Day. At around 2 p.m., as we were ready to pay our check with cash, a young man approached and started to lift the check and cash, and he said, “May I bring you change?”

I recognized that he was not the same man who served us, so I said, “Can you give me change for a $20?” and handed him the $20 bill and said, “I would like five $1s, one $5 and one $10. Can you give it to me....” and it caught him by surprise.

We reclaimed our hold on our check and money while he opened his wallet and changed my $20 into the bills I requested.

At that point, the true employee/operator of the restaurant came outside and said, “Can I bring you change?” The interloper quickly left without pocketing our payment, but he now had my $20 and I had his bills which I will have tested for authenticity or otherwise.

We told the server what had happened, and I put a $6 tip with our payment for the meal.

He said the other man was involved with counterfeit money, but didn’t think counterfeiters bother with $1 bills.

I will take my $10 and my $5 to the bank tomorrow, but gave the $1 bills to the waiter as a tip. I doubt they were fake because they were wrinkled. The others look slick and new.

The young man was white, clean cut, between 23 through 27, approximately 6 ft. tall and 190-200 pounds. He looked like he might be dressed for a game of golf, in light-colored walking shorts and maroon-colored short-sleeved polo shirt.

He had short brown hair. He looked like a junior or senior from Yale, Harvard or George Washington University , not a con man sort of person but a child of white privilege who might have been conning for a lark, not out of real dire need.

I am sharing in case he is part of a ring of young men hitting the peninsula.

License Plate Recognition System for Parking Enforcement The City of Pacific Grove is in the final stages of implementing the License Plate Recognition (LPR) System, with installation beginning on Monday, August 28, 2017.

The LPR system will alert parking enforcement officers of overtime parking violations, unpermitted vehicles, vehicles with expired registration, and vehicles with five or more unpaid parking citations.

This will allow staff to become much more efficient in completing their routes and prevent injury caused by manual chalking.

The LPR is being installed on our all electric GO-4 Parking Scooter. Next week during installation and testing, you may see the parking enforcement scooter being tested throughout the City. It will have exterior cameras, which will make it look different.

In addition, once fully implemented, the parking enforcement officers will rely mainly on the LPR and no longer mark tires with chalk. This includes the Downtown Area, Central Avenue, and the other timed areas. It will also assist in enforcing 48 hour and 72 hour parking violations, as well as the City’s parking permit programs.

The LPR system is set to go live on Sunday September 10, 2017. If you have

The Hourglass of Time Jane Roland Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts Labor Day weekend will have ended when you read this and the school year has started for many students.

Years ago, Joyce Wright would have had one of us organize a gathering, but there were many of us then.

We are down to a handful and Joyce died 18 years ago.

We will not celebrate, although Annie might, as she is getting a long overdue haircut.

Yesterday we went to The Golden Bough Playhouse to see “Hooray for Hollywood.” It was delightful, in fact wonderful. The only drawback was that the theater was not full. John said they should have been lined up for a sold-out audience. Why is it that many local folks shun our local offerings when many are as good if not better than the productions we saw in San Francisco or on Broadway? Most of the performers have acted professionally and now reside on our Peninsula. Give it a chance, you will be glad you did. Run, don’t walk to catch “Peter Pan” at the Forest Theater. These are both offered by Pacific Repertory Theater, but there are so many companies; Paperwing, MPC Theatre, Ariel, Western Stage to name a few. Look on the website Monterey County Theatre Alliance to see what is happening in your own area. Spare the gas, save the environment (and money), reward yourself with a perfect afternoon or evening.

It is astounding to me how fast time passes. When I speak to younger friends who make that comment, I look at them and say, “Just wait!” The worst thing about it is that life is running out. There are things we will never do again…or do for the last time. I hope to stick around long enough to see Hugh Jackman in “The Greatest Showman”opening on Christmas Day. It is no secret to my friends that Jackman is my favorite actor of all times. I could see “The Boy From Oz”again and again, and, despite the critics, adored “Les Miserables,” where I met Eddie Redmayne, as Marius and fell in love with him. I was always amused at my mother when she hit the ripe old age of 70+ would say “be still my heart.” when some young actor would appear. Now I understand.

Almost 20 years ago we remodeled our house, so that the kitchen and family room became one. Prior to that it was a galley kitchen with ’50s appliances, and a wall dividing the two rooms. This was great for us and the youngsters when they were at home, but when we had an opportunity it seemed a good idea to create more space. This went on for several months. At the time, we had only one dog (amazing) and two or three cats. The dog, Dixie, was no problem but the cats needed to come in and out of the bedroom window for food. One night I entered the room and stared in the face of a very large racoon. This went on for several days. I called a friend at the SPCA who told me to soak a rag in ammonia and hang it out of the window. HA! The clever critters just moved it out of the way and continued to sneak in…

Desperate, I called The Critter Getter. We had a nice long chat, really long. He told me that he would be happy to come, bring a cage and trap the fellow (or fellows) but, because of the law it could not be relocated. “But, Mrs. Roland, I have a suggestion.” Yes, please” I responded “Anything, I will do anything.” “Well,” said Mr. Getter (can’t remember his real name).” Try taking the food away.” Sounds like a no brainer, right? However, I did as he said and we had no more nocturnal visitors.

You all know about our animals. We are down to two who, I hope, will live with us if we are around and someone will give a loving home when we are not. It is amazing how important these creatures are to us. This week I have heard sad tales about beloved pets who have left to go to the pastures in Heaven and what is almost worse have disappeared (there is always a fear that they might have met an untimely end). I grieve for the “parents.” We came home the other day.

I went into our home “office” while John was running an errand. Suddenly I realized I hadn’t seen Annie, our Schnoodle, to whom we have become enormously

attached (she is an AFRP rescue dog and fantastic). I looked all over. John came home and continued the search. He went all over the block, I posted on Facebook and was just about to call the city when I looked down and there she was, tail wagging as always and a grin on her face. We had no idea where she had been and she declined to tell us. We have since discovered that to beat the heat, she goes into my closet if I leave the door open and sleeps on the cool floor. Neither animal -- Toby the cat,nor Annie -- likes this weather. Neither do we. It shows how spoiled we are.

Just as we should support local entertainment venues, theatre, music and visual art, we must take care of the animals. Our pets are always those who needed homes, some even found us, I wish we were young enough to have more. There are several groups with remarkable staff, paid and volunteer. The SPCA of Monterey County, Animal Friends Rescue Project, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and more. The animals they save are desperately in need of forever homes. There are shelters that must euthanize animals if the population swells. They are often rescued by the organizations and others. However, there is just so much time and space. Help where you can, adopt, donate time and funds, we need to save these creatures.

What Does God say about bullying?

Tom Stevens

Otter Views

Bill Cohen

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

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

When we stop fearing other people, we will begin to see that we are all part of God’s creation and each of us has our own share of faults. The compassion that results will lead us to understand God’s calling to us, 2 Tim 1:17, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Has He not given us a sound mind so that we can treat others the way we want to be treated? When we return good for the evil we imagine in others, does not our love shown to them make them reconsider their own thoughts? Mk 12:31, “And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” We need not agree on all topics, or life choices, however, does God not ask each of us to love our neighbor unconditionally? Otherwise, are we any better than those who choose we see hating without cause?

Can there be any excuse for harming our neighbor, either physically or mentally?

Rom 2:1-3, “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Can we imagine we can harm people because we are afraid they will harm us, or others, and have God’s blessing?

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

There is no room for bullying in God’s advice and there will be no room for bullying in heaven, Gal 5:19-23, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; “Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, “Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, “Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, “Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Is God not telling us that we will either learn to love each other here on earth, or we will not see heaven?

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

Farms in Pacific Grove? Yes!

You can meet them any Monday afternoon at the Everyone's Harvest Farmers' Market in PG, bringing you fresh, luscious, organic fruits and vegetables direct from their farms. Maybe you knew that. But did you know about the fantastic educational and public health programs of this quiet local nonprofit? Its free cooking workshops and recipes? Its other four farmers' markets? Come find out what

Creatures Great and Small

The greatest of the creatures were feeding in glassy, jade green waters off Point Lobos on Friday. We had walked out to China Cove to revisit cormorant nesting sites from a few months earlier, so the appearance of feeding humpbacks was an unexpected bonus.

The conical seaweed nests we had watched being built so painstakingly in the spring had all vanished. In their place stood skinny, half-grown cormorants seemingly unsure of their footing on the steep, guano-plastered cliff tops. Oddly, the birds stood in close formation, spaced almost as tightly as the nests had been.

“There were dozens and dozens of nests out here before,” I marveled. “These hills were cobbled with them. Where did they all go?” It was one of those mysteries that, absent access to Siri or a friendly naturalist, launches a loopy spiral of conjecture.

“Do you think the parents pull the nests apart after the chicks can walk?” she offered. “Give them someplace to stand?”

“Or maybe they ate the nests,” I mused. “Cormorants come from Japan, where dried seaweed is a delicacy. Maybe they developed a taste for it there?”

“No, cormorants live all over the world, even in places with no seaweed.

What I don’t understand is why they would destroy nests they worked so hard to build. Why not use them again?”

“Maybe it’s a merit test,” I suggested. “The male cormorant has to prove to the female he can build a nest from scratch, not just refurbish one from the year before.”

“Probably the female builds the nest,” she countered. “Otherwise he’ll get distracted gazing out to sea and the eggs will roll out.”

I would have replied, but I got distracted gazing out to sea. There plume after misty plume floated into the sunlit air, marking the leisurely transit of at least 20 whales. Some blows were too distant to distinguish clearly, but others were so close they were audible from shore.

Leaving the cormorant nesting mystery unanswered, we followed the coast trail to a railed cliff top that stood about 100 feet above the water. Viewers already lined the railing, oohing and aahing at the spectacle below. Cruising just offshore were three or four pods of humpbacks their broad black backs glistening as they rose to exhale and breathe.

The whales were feeding on something – anchovies? krill? – but whatever the menu item, it wasn’t fleeing very swiftly. Circling as slowly as tugboats, the humpbacks methodically worked the near shore kelp beds, then moved grandly off into deeper water, then returned at the same languid tempo for second and third helpings.

Stippling the water near one pod was a v-shaped squadron of smaller air breathers. These swam in a surging pack just beyond the whales’ “personal space.”

Having neglected to bring binoculars, I couldn’t tell if they were otters, harbor seals or tiny dolphins, but they were small, numerous and wary. Every so often they’d lift their heads and look around in unison, as if to avoid getting sucked down or run over. When supping with humpbacks, use a long spoon.

The whales, meanwhile, seemed to be swallowing the ocean itself. Every few minutes several would form a loose ring, dive down together, then lunge back to the surface, their mouths agape like giant vacuum cleaner bags. Their loud gasps drew an echoing gasp from the crowd.

Another, quieter gasp arose the following night at 3 a.m. In the unseasonable heat, I’d left the sliding glass door open between the bedroom and an exterior deck. A clatter of pots and the crash of my bike falling over awakened us both.

An intruder?

“La luce!” she said, “the light!”

We fumbled through a wall of vertical blinds, half-afraid of what we might find. Our store of clay pots had been tumbled, and mysterious splash marks circled the water tub we used for the deck plants. From the corner of my eye I spied a striped tail descending a nearby tree.

“A raccoon!” I murmured.

“Where?” asked the wife. Breaking all rules of etiquette, I extended a hand across her face and pointed to the shadows where I thought I had seen the tail.

Now there was nothing but a tree branch scraping against the deck’s railing.

“There!” she gasped.

On the sidewalk below, in a pool of light from the neighboring apartment, appeared the Ur Raccoon. The size of a small dog, our bandit gazed up at us meditatively. In no hurry to move on, he seemed to pose for our admiration. Elegant, well fed, with whitish fur that appeared to have been brushed—no, coifed. His majestic fur caught the light. He positively glowed.

Four beats, then he was gone, air-stepping in that peculiar way raccoons have, into the night.

you're missing.

Local 7-year-old rates in top 50 nationwide in gymnastics

At the ripe old age of 7 years, Halle Fairbanks has already gained national notoriety for her gymnastics skills. The veteran of two years of ballet school and three years of gymnastics now has one more accomplishment to add to her list: “This is my first interview!” she crows.

Halle takes gymnastics classes six days a week at Rising Star Gymnastics. She’s an expert at cartwheels, back walkovers, back handsprings, and more.

When she wakes up in the morning, her first question to her mother is, “Mommy, what time is class?” says her mother, Aungela Fairbanks.

“She never has to be forced to go to her class,” says Aungela, who homeschools the young athlete. At Rising Star, she gets to work out with bigger and older girls, some up to the age of 12 years.

But it was as a 7 yearold that Halle recently made her mark, testing out on a national level and placing in the top 50 nationally of girls her age and ability.

TOPS, or Talent Opportunity Program for students, is a talent search and educational program for female gymnasts ages 7-10. As Halle Fairbanks the program, in which Halle competed, additional conditioning training is offered for students who show talent.

From the training, candidates who make it at 8 years of age may be chosen to go on to Olympic training. It’s all Halle has ever expressed an interest in being. “How can they know at such a young age what they want to do?

Her mother asks, rhetorically. Halle was the only student athlete from Rising Star who was prepared to go to the national test, and off she went. Six areas were tested with the competition itself being the test. Tests are given up to four times: it was 109° in Concord on test day, and even inside it was 85°.

Halle has her own training room at home where she can work with barre, balance beam, rope climbing and more. She does stretch exercises and practices yoga – her mom is a yoga instructor. The second grader has no siblings but she has parents who are behind her all the way.

Her models include Simone Biles and Gabby Douglas, as well as Olympics coaches at Karolyis Camp, Béla and Martha Karolyi.

She has her own You Tube channel, called Hallewood and hopes to add to it. She probably will.

Artists Open Exhibit at Sally Griffin Center

Four member artists, Laura Lockett, Harry Wareham, Rhett Owings and Tamara Keiper, from the local Central Coast Art Association have a current display of their paintings up at Sally Griffin Center here in PG until Oct. 27th. Their Opening Reception will be Fri. Sept. 8 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Sally Griffin Center 700 Jewell Ave. Pacific Grove CA 939950 831 375-4454 Open 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Mon.-Fri. Group Show with Artists:

Artists’ Statements: Tamara Keiper: Plein air painting gives me a chance to go outdoors, be among other like-minded artists and do what I enjoy most. To be able to experience and capture a glimpse of God’s magnificent handiwork is very thrilling, challenging and gratifying. After spending days on end alone in my studio it is a joy to come out in the fresh air to paint and see to what other artists are doing. I have been painting for almost my whole life. I’ve used watercolors, pastels, acrylics and air brush for portraits, architectural renderings and commissioned works. I choose which medium to use depending on how I want the finished result to look… and for how quickly it needs to be completed. Oils are relatively

new to me. The works you see are some of my recent oils, done plein air and in the studio.

Laura Lockett: Pacific Grove Watercolorist, Laura Lockett paints mostly on location in Plein Air. Every painting is a challenge to capture the color, the light and the feeling of the scene, that she enjoys. Lockett has studied in South Carolina and Virginia with a few of the top Master Watercolorists of this Age, who continue to inspire her. She has exhibited around the Monterey Peninsula in various locations and won awards in Juried Shows.

Rhett Owings: I am a California artist who enjoys painting landscapes, flowers, birds & animals and other subjects. I am inspired by the beauty I see around me and the Monterey area is very inspiring indeed! My favorite media to work in are oils, pastels and acrylics, but I sometimes dabble with watermedia.

Harry Wareham: Monterey watercolorist since 1994 - All venues & subjects. This exhibit is all animals.

Elks Collecting School Supplies

The Monterey Elks Lodge is collecting additional school supplies for needy students. The more than 800 members of the local lodge have placed a “school supply box” in the Lodge lobby at 150 Mar Vista Dr. “2018 celebrates the 150th founding of the national Elks Lodges,” said Richard Ringler, Exalted Ruler of the Monterey Lodge. “The legacy of those first founders continues to this day. In addition to aiding members in distress, the Elks continue to provide support for those in need, especially for children and veterans.

“Many area students will be starting back to school this year without the needed supplies – simple things like pencils and crayons,” Ringler said, “and we are proud to be able to supply some of those.” Supplies will be collected until Sept. 15.

The [Perimeter] Road to IMSA and Lambourghini Moses

Hello friends. This next piece is so crazy and untrue, I naturally want to start with a disclaimer. I love my editor and paper so much, when I know it’s coming, I’ll go ahead and ask her to duck. Stop, drop and rock and roll. Everything that follows is a certain kind of makebelieve I enjoy calling science faction.

So there I was, alone, with just my motorcycle and a beautiful day. I had spent the last few, re-tracing Dr. Thompson’s fabled rides through the mountains of Santa Cruz.

In print and in person. The bikes, the drugs and booze, the routes, the times of day or night; from his writings. So far, I had done pretty well and survived my first couple of “research-oriented” jaunts, even though at least one poor soul I encountered during my first time out, did not. I believe it was halfway up Old Santa Cruz Road where a brave policeman waved me passed the wrecked softtail, and the large dead body of a One Percenter, lying there with an uncertain future. Both souls were yet to leave. The mighty Buell XB12X (Mrs. Slate) instinctively roared passed and picked up speed as we struggled to avoid said flying unhappy vapors that were the psychedelic wraiths of their winged souls.

This was also the first time I went to the other Alice’s. I had been to Stockbridge.

Fire and Rain, and all. And that river was haunting enough in its own way. As it continues to be.

I could hear the good doctor’s voice resonating in my helmet, saying “Welcome to Santa Cruz, Schmuck.” I had focused on (and found!) a stretch he had covered on his BSA Lightning. (Neil has a beauty in the Motorcycle Museum!) I had done so trying to find his rhythm of the ride. His speed, his finesse, and his lines through the hundreds of corners; again, his rhythm. And I think that for a moment or two, I and the mighty Buell did. Especially through the death and despair part, when we had to. I guess Dr. Thompson had to, all the way through. I guess, so do I? When I returned from this spirited ride with my soul in question and bike intact, to Salinas, I knew I had better put this endeavor away for a while. So I did.

Needing something to distract me from my own personal John Franklinesque exploration, the next day the mighty Buell and I went to do a strafing run at the track.

Let me explain. Running all around the perimeter of the track are roads called perimeter roads, with names like South Boundary and Perimeter Road, A, B and my favorite the one up Wolf Hill. While driving on these road most of the track of the track is visible.

In a few spots these roads run parallel with the track. Thus one can catch up to a 300K sports car enjoying a track day or generally menace one of 100 MX-5s as you pass them on the “Perimeter Track.” It’s great fun and very rewarding, personally.

You should see the look in their eyes from inside their helmets when Mrs. Slate and I zoom past, through the gates of hell in to Hooligan Heaven. That cracks me up every time. One time in particular I did this to a gentleman in a Mercedes McLaren gull wing,(400k?, 900hp?) that when strafed the driver was seen pounding on his steering wheel with both hands. I continue to laugh even now.

So I was innocently on my way up some little-known back road up to the track. I knew a very steep hill was coming up to I gave Mrs. Slate a real handful of 97 octane.

We were gloriously climbing when we came across a big non-descript, appallingly clean, black truck. An 18-wheeler. Enjoying my sheer cunning and great hair I noticed the following: A man standing across the road from the truck. He was crying as he looked at the phone in his hand. He was crying in Italian. This beautiful truck was “high-centered,” meaning the long part of this truck between its axels was suspended by the road.

Its eight rear wheels were barley touching the ground at all. As I looked the truck over close up I was taken by the quality of the paint. It was show-winning magnificent. The truck itself (or, tractor) was unlike anything seen here in America. I simply had never seen anything like it, before or since. It looked like an angry space alien bull, it was magnificent too. I asked the man if he was okay. Through the tears flowing down his cheeks, which where red like blood somehow. He sadly wept his response, in Italian.

I could’nt understand a word he said and suddenly I was so sad I started to cry as well. Many years of shame and regret surfaced in intensely strong emotion somewhere between severe nerve damage, electrocution and an orgasm. I had lost control completely and cried with such a furious joy that my tears turned to blood and poured down my cheeks in quarts. My new friend stopped crying into his phone in Italian and swiftly moved toward me and embraced me as long lost brother returning from war might. We stood there crying and hugging, both of us now doing so in fluent Italian. We both took pause in our grief when from seeming nowhere a small gentle looking round-faced man with a glowing aura of white, green, and red which crowned his head and made his unusually large smile and eyes reflect his ageless, perfect being. My new war-torn brother whispered to me in perfect English, “Webster, this is Lamborghini Moses…”

Homeless Hotspots—Part I

Oasis on the sand dunes in the City of Seaside Honing in on homelessness is easier if you know how to start.

If you’ve ever wondered where to turn for help if you became homeless, think: Homeless Hotspots.

Next, pinpoint why you need specific help by asking yourself: Am I in need of proverbial “birds of a feather who flock together” for company?

Am I a free-spirited traveler, on a sojourn through Monterey, in need of a tour guide to help me find a place to sleep free?

Am I a shaken, sheltered bystander aware that I could be displaced, as were the thousands of unprepared victims in the floods in Houston last week, so I need to know where to turn if disaster strikes me?

Or, is the reason you’re curious about homeless hotspot locations solely so you can avoid them? In other words, homeless people are not wanted in your own backyard, so you need to know where not to go to be around them.

How to take care of your family?

Knowing why you’re interested is the first step. If none of the above questions resembles your situation, perhaps you’re not concerned solely for yourself.

Maybe the survival of an elderly loved one depends on you. Or, maybe you’re responsible for children and grandchildren.

Is your question: How can I take care of my family?

Regardless of whether your domicile is a relative’s couch, the seats of your car, a shelter with many beds, or a tent on the ground, your first question is: Why is finding a homeless hotspot important to me?

When you’re sure of that answer, familiarize yourself with what constitutes a homeless hotspot. Here’s my definition.

A homeless hotspot is any place where unsheltered people hang in or hang out in order to hang on.

The current hottest homeless hotspot in local news is on Lapis Road just north of Marina near the dump because entire families and their dogs have been living there in vehicles for several years.

A month ago I reported seeing 76 vehicles on the 1-mile strip of road. On Labor Day, I counted 36 campsites.

The Monterey County Sheriff had given notices on Aug. 10 that RVs, trucks,

Homeless in Paradise

A homeless hotspot is any place where unsheltered people (like this couch-surfing family) hang in or hang out in order to hang on. trailers and cars must be moved by Aug. 31, but a 90-day reprieve was given by the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 29, when, by a 3-1 vote, they decided campers could stay parked until Nov. 30, provided they comply with restrictions that include parking only between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. daily, and compliance with health and penal codes, meaning no more dumping of trash or human excrement by the roadside.

Instead, portable toilets and trash containers are supposed to be provided while the county searches for means by which to supervise the proposed safe parking program at a location to yet be determined.

As of today, funding for the project and supervision of its implementation remain unknown.

For details, or to apply, contact District 4 Supervisor Jane Parker at district4@ co.monterey.ca.us.

In the bushes at Laguna Grande Park The second most-prominent campground among local homeless hotspots is Laguna Grande Park, shared jointly by the cities of Monterey and Seaside.

Located across from Safeway at the intersection of Fremont Blvd./Ave. and Canyon Del Rey, transients slide like lizards into the native-plant garden and down the embankment, dragging bicycles, backpacks, trash bags and other belongings with them, virtually vanishing in the brush along the shallow ravine’s creek bed.

At the far end of Laguna Grande Park, behind the In-n-Out Burger on Del Monte Ave., campers enter on flat paths that wend their ways past the lake where floating flocks of homeless honkers waddle ashore to wallow in debris left behind by campers.

If you are not enticed by the prospect of finding homeless hotspots full of rotting

food scraps, empty bottles and cans, and piles of steaming human excrement that bake like summer pies in the sun, there’s a better option.

You can and should become acquainted with the oasis on the sand dunes of Seaside.

MCDSS: the Oasis on the Sand Dunes of Seaside You wouldn’t usually call it an attention-getter, yet it draws most of the Monterey Peninsula’s needy community through its doors.

The homeless use its restrooms, drink fresh water, avail themselves of financial aid and sign up for free food benefits. They don’t bed down in the place they simply call “the welfare office.”

Its proper name is Monterey County Department of Social Services (MCDSS); it houses the Monterey County Community Benefits Offices.

If you’ve never visited the MCDSS, is now the time? It’s a one-story building that floats like a square island in a parking lot at 1281 Broadway Ave., Seaside. For details, call, 866-323-1953.

Next week’s MCDSS question will be: Whatever happened to food stamps?

MST Offers Free Fare Weekend on 40’s Routes

Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) will begin free weekend service during its ‘Ride the 40’s on Us’ ridership and marketing campaign. Starting September 2, all buses on lines 41, 42, 44, 45, and 49 in Salinas will be free on weekends and holidays. The free fare on weekends will continue for a year, ending August 31, 2018.

MST received a California Climate Investment Grant to help promote transit ridership and to benefit disadvantaged communities. Another goal of the Climate Investment Grant is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the number of people who ride transit over driving alone.

“Past marketing and ridership efforts in Salinas have proven successful and we hope that this campaign will attract new and casual riders to transit” says Carl Sedoryk, general manager/ CEO. “And with our new RealTime bus arrival tools, taking transit is easy.

We hope that Salinas residents take this opportunity to ride MST for free!”

Big Sur Marathon Foundation Solidifies 5-Year Partnership with Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula The Big Sur Marathon Foundation, a non-profit that organizes running events and programs throughout Monterey County, and Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (Community Hospital) and its parent company, Montage Health, have renewed their long time partnership to work together for the benefit of visiting runners from throughout the world and local participants and community members.

Though Community Hospital employees have been involved as key medical volunteers since the inception of the Big Sur International Marathon in 1986, the two entities began a more formal relationship in the mid-1990s.

With this new five-year agreement, Community Hospital will continue to serve as the exclusive medical sponsor of all the Foundation’s events providing course and finish-line first aid, mobile defibrillator teams and health education.

Said race director Doug Thurston.

“The April marathon, especially, pres-

ents unique challenges to our ability to service the runners, so the mobile medical team on bicycles allows us to quickly provide top level aid anywhere on the course.”

More than 100 volunteer doctors, nurses and medical staff assist on race day at the April Big Sur International Marathon. At the November Monterey Bay Half Marathon, Community Hospital coordinates a medical support team of more than 60 people. Additional volunteers from the Monterey Peninsula College Nursing Program and related health organizations are also involved.
