City staff, builders, vendors celebrate “Summer of Progress” By Cameron Douglas City leaders and Public Works employees enjoyed a satisfying lunch on the new patio at Lovers Point on August 5. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Kampe welcomed the group and acknowledged those who have worked toward what he called, “the summer of progress.” Joe and Paula Cavallaro, owners of The Grill, provided hot dogs, popcorn and soft drinks for the group. Kampe thanked volunteer Bob Blade and the PG Kiwanis Club for their help in retrofitting the swimming pool drain to new safety standards, in cooperation with Recreation Director Don Mothershead. “Great to have the swimming pool open this summer,” said Kampe. A long list of people and businesses received recognition for their part in improving and maintaining Lovers Point Park, a destination for people from all over the world: City Planners Lynn Burgess, Sarah Hardgrave and Ashley Hefner. Mike Bellinger and Elke Ikeda for design of park improvements, including new fencing, the patio and an ADA-compliant path through the park. Otto Construction for their work installing the improvements. City Engineer Sherman Low for sewer improvement designs. Kent Munro of BMR Construction for coordinating between the city and contractors. City Finance staff Tony McFarlane and Cathy Krysyna for managing grants, budget and payment duties.
News from the City Manager’s office By Cameron Douglas Our City Manager, Tom Frutchey, makes a weekly report to city staff. Here are a few items of interest: The Police Department has recently received three thank-you letters from citizens. The most striking came from an elderly man who was hit by a car on David Avenue in 2009 and sustained life-threaten-

Public Works for their efforts to assist with the work and maintain the park. Kampe announced the City will soon issue a building permit for work to move forward at the former Old Bath House, and groundbreaking will begin soon. The Old Bath House was built and operated for 30 years by David Bindel. Since closing in November, 2005 the restaurant and its furnishings have been possessions of the City, which owns the building. Ted and Cindy Walter, owners of the very successful Passionfish restaurant, made a brief offer to take over the Bath House but then withdrew. Soon after, developer Robert Enea made a bid to oversee needed modifications to make the place ADA-compliant. “Real progress is underway at the Old
ing injuries. Now recovered, he sent a letter to Officer Eva Rasul, who responded to the call. “It was you saved me from death,” the man wrote. “You are my benefactor.” Officers Buettler and DiMarco also received written praise from people they’ve helped. Frutchey reminds us that fire hydrant testing will continue over the next few months. This testing can cause temporary drops in water pressure and discoloration of the water coming from the tap. The discoloration may result from sediment in the pipes, which will settle on its own. It is best to make sure the water is clear before laundering clothes to prevent staining. Concerns about water quality should be directed to Cal Am Water, Monterey Regional Water Pol-
Bath House,” Kampe said, as he introduced Enea and designer Dave Prew, along with restaurateur Jim Gilbert and his partner Kevin Phillips, who have leased most of the building for use as a new restaurant to be named, “The Lovers Point Beach House.” In conclusion, Kampe said, “The work we have seen over the summer and the renewed energy that new partnerships and the swimming pool represent are a harbinger of good things to come for Lovers Point and Pacific Grove.”

lution Control Agency, or the Monterey Fire Department’s Prevention Division. Our fire department relies on a breathing support compressor to fill air tanks for breathing in heavy smoke. It is also a critical piece of equipment in the hyperbaric decompression chamber, where diving accidents are treated. The compressor at the Pacific Grove station needed replacement; and the first quote came in at $40,000. Not happy with that, Captain Jim Brown and Engineer Frank Consiglio took it on themselves to keep looking and found a suitable replacement for just over $2,500. The Streets Division of Public Works has been working diligently to restore and repaint crosswalks and other street markings as schools re-open. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AND WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN.

High Hats & Parasols Dear Readers: Please bear in mind that historical articles such as “High Hats & Parasols” present our history — good and bad — in the language and terminology used at the time. The writings contained in “High Hats” are not our words. They are quoted from Pacific Grove/Monterey publications from 100 years in the past. Our journalistic predecessors held to the highest possible standards for their day, as do we at Cedar Street Times. Please also note that any items listed for sale in “High Hats” are “done deals,” and while we would all love to see those prices again, people also worked for a dollar a day back then.

Author’s Notes
Chautauqua off to good start
This year’s Chautauqua is moving right along. The Sabbath was a day full of interest. In the morning, a crowded Love Feast was held, and this good old-fashioned institution drew out some three hundred testimonials written by people from all parts of the State in preparation to attending this year’s events. “It is good to be here again,” wrote many returning participants. At 11 o’clock, the bishop spoke, bringing the very essence of Christianity to Chautauqua and impressing upon all listeners the intense importance of embracing Christianity, and also impressing on the audience the compared value of Christianity rather than embracing only other interests. The Bishop reminded all that Chautauqua, conceived in New York as a school for training Sunday teachers, became an advocate of Christ even though it is now much more eclectic than in its earliest days. In fact, the Bishop reminded all of the resolution that while Chautauqua certainly would not ignore religion, it would not confuse itself with a religious camp. The afternoon was given to a service dedicated to recognizing and honoring members of the conference (and any wives or family members) who might have passed away during the year. In the evening, several deacons and elders were ordained. A rousing sermon focused on the “spirit” of Daniel. A roaring chorus of hallelujahs followed. Monday presented no programs, but focused on the routine business of Chautauqua. Reports were heard and resolutions presented, which were accepted or denied.
Taxes lower this year
The California State Board of Equalization has fixed the State tax as follows: general fund, 29¢; school fund, 18.4¢; interest and sinking fund, 2¢; university fund, 1¢. The total state tax is 50.4¢. Last year the state tax was 60.8¢, making for a reduction of 10.4¢ this year. The total assessment of all counties upon which the tax is to be levied is $1,107,106,327. I
Quarrels over travel cost
Many frequent travelers are objecting to fare increases announced by Southern Pacific. The rate to Chicago, now standing at $73, a $5 increase, is bemoaned as too stiff to be tolerated by many people of limited means. Other fares are also being complained about. This newspaper urges you to not wait until you arrive at the depot before learning of price increases. Remember, too, that other customers are waiting to purchase tickets. Don’t force them to wait in line while you argue with the ticket agent over cost. Fare increases are not the fault of this hapless individual; prices are set by administrators much farther up the line. You might consider writing a letter of displeasure to Southern Pacific headquarters. If you are unhappy with the high-ups decisions, you might also cancel your trip or go by motor vehicle or bus.
Cure for consumption
Dr. Scott has announced a new way to treat one of man’s oldest and most feared ailments. Scott’s Emulsion, a blend of pure cod liver oil, hypophosphite of lime, soda, and several secret ingredients shows surprising propensity as a treatment for Consumption. On the market only a short while, physicians world-wide have praised Scott’s Emulsion. There is little need to worry about side effects either. Scott’s Emulsion is as palatable as milk. And there is more. Much more. This wonder drug also seems to work with wasting diseases and chronic coughs. Dr. Scott has explained that its effectiveness is a matter not only of what is in the emulsion, it is also the portions used in mixing. Dr. Scott urges you to ask for Scott’s Emulsion at your drug store. You will find it much cheaper that a trip to the doctor’s office. II

II In 1911, cod liver oil was a cure-all. Children often had spoonfuls forced down their throats for virtually any and all ailments. Today, Cod liver oil is widely taken to ease the pain of arthritis. It also has a positive effect on heart and bone. The value of hypophosphite of lime was far less certain than that of cod liver oil, but it was widely used to relieve the moods swings and aches of menopause. This piece probably represents one of the promo pieces paid for by a sponsor, but represented as being news. III The “Ohio” way referred to charging by the linear foot rather than setting a fixed “job” price. IV Yes, this is a joke. Humor was coming into vogue in both magazines and newspapers. A little bit of something intended to make readers laugh found itself inserted among other items without announcement.

Lanterns of peace The Monterey chapter of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom held their annual Peace Lantern Ceremony at Lovers Point on August 6. The ceremony commemorates the atomic bombings of two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at the end of World War II. Hiroshima was bombed on August 6, 1945. The reverent ceremony featured readings and poems of tribute. At nightfall, paper lanterns were launched on boats and rowed across the cove, casting a warm glow on the water.

Jacqui Hope: Keeping the PG Art Center Alive By Nick Silvestri
With enriched history and world showing art, how has the Pacific Grove Art Center grown since its founding, and how has it continued to be a great success? To answer this question, look no further than Executive Director Jaqui Hope. Since Jaqui joined the Pacific Grove Art Center it has been busier than ever before. “More classes are offered for young students and seniors, as well as more exhibits including our new workshop in Abilene, Texas,” says one of the volunteers. (Ms. Hope was not available for an interview due to a large number of new exhibits opening.) New exhibits will include work by artists Cheryl Kampe, Howard Perkins, Sunny Day, Sheila Delimont and Barbara Kreitman. Their shows and exhibits will continue through September 1. New classes have also opened up, which included youth art workshops throughout the summer. They also offered different activities for different groups of children. On Mondays, they offered middle school art. It was called, “The Middle School Art Hang Out.” On Wednesdays it was called, “Wild Wednesdays” for children entering grades 2 through 5. Adults can learn how to watercolor. They can join a drawing class, learn visual journaling, or study acrylics. “It’s a lot of fun,” said one of the students. “The instructors are very hands on and very patient to new artists. They make you feel comfortable, and I’m not afraid to show my work.” The Art Center’s founders had a goal, and the goal was in the three E’s. The three E’s represent Educate, Exhibit and Encourage, all within the community. From talking to students and volunteers, there isn’t a doubt that Ms. Hope is the best person suited to represent and keep the goals of the center alive.

Your letters
Opinion Marge Ann Jameson
Cedar Street’s Opinion Once in a while a bit of levity at a City Council meeting is a good thing. Actually, it would be a good thing all the time, but we’ll take what we can get. At the recent meeting, it was Police Chief Darius Engles who made us laugh, and it was about parking – something that usually isn’t very funny. Seems a citizen had brought a complaint about the fact that the parking control officers have been marking the sides, or even the tops of the tires of parked cars instead of the usual back of the tire. The unhappy miscreants had been running out of their office or shop and checking the back of their streetside tire, thinking they had beat the rap and could occupy the space for more than the allotted 90 minutes. Not noticing the mark on the top of the tire they were incensed when they received a parking ticket. Chief Engles’ response went something along the lines of this: “Pacific Grove Police officers are here to make sure the rules are enforced, not to show you how not to get caught.” General laughter. Many of us who have businesses downtown know the drill: Pull up in front of your office, note the time, and when your 90 minutes is nearly up, run outside to see if your tire has been marked. If it has, jump in the car and move it forward a few spaces or back it out and pull into a nearby space and do it all over it again. Unproductive, to say the least, to be watching the clock and running in and out all day. Not conducive to business, when your customers and clients have to park two blocks away while your personal car is perched in the parking space. It is rude to your neighbors, some of whom depend on available parking near their businesses for their customers, not for the business next door. So get a clue, people. As Chief Engles reiterated after the meeting, “You do not have a constitutional right to a parking space.” Park outside the restricted zone and walk – it will do you and downtown businesses a world of good.

Richard Oh Banana Bread Pudding A few weeks ago I did a wine paired dinner at Pono Hawaiian Grill in Santa Cruz. This was my first time pairing my wines with Hawaiian food. What an amazing combination. We had such a great time. We had Poke, Ahi tuna, pulled pork, teriyaki scallops, and banana bread pudding. The dessert was a great pairing with the off dry Riesling. Which is why I chose the bread pudding for this weeks recipe. Braddah Timmy, aka Timmy Hunt, is a local Maui boy that relocated to the mainland over 10yrs ago. He has brought with him the island culture, aloha spirit and especially the “food” in which he grew up with. He has a background in sushi and an even stronger one in the hospitality industry. Timmy has opened the eyes and ears of people in Santa Cruz area with his delicious island recipes that have been passed on by his mother as well as other family members. “We all have to eat” says Timmy. That’s really how this all got started. “And to eat good stuff, well that’s the tricky part!” But he believes that we each posess a “palate” if you will. Over the course of his life, Timmy’s palate has developed into a very nicely balanced one and for over eight years he has been sharing that with the people of Santa Cruz. With a successful first restaurant of seven years, Timmy decided it was time to really show what he’s got and left to begin his own restaurant, Pono Hawaiian Grill. Which features many new recipes and a new twist...”Hawaiian style sashimi” or poke. A new concept that Timmy brings using his sushi style background as well as his gift of gab. They feature over eight new recipes at his restaurant. All made to order using fresh island ingredients like sashimi grade ahi, ogo (island seaweed), sesame oil, chili pepper, island shoyu and much much more! Using his skills in the kitchen and behind the bar he brings you the best of both worlds in food and hospitality. Good food and great customer satisfaction is what they are all about. They bring the aloha spirit in a special way. So stop in and say hello, grab a poke bowl or a delicious Hawaiian style wrap or teriyaki bowl... All made with “aloha!” I hope you will be able to try this recipe or go see Timmy in Santa Cruz. If you have suggestions or comments, please email me: richard@ottercovewines.com. Cheers!

24th Annual Jewish Food Festival set for Sunday, August 28
Congregation Beth Israel (CBI) will host its 24th Annual Jewish Food Festival on Sunday, August 28 and will pull out all the stops to delight its visitors with savory comfort foods, ethnic music, and other cultural activities. This all-day familyoriented “Jewish Food for the Soul” event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 5716 Carmel Valley Road, and is open to the public. Admission and parking are free and children are welcome. Members of the congregation will serve up a wide array of traditional foods to soothe and satisfy the eager palates of attendees. Guests can expect to indulge in potato latkes, kugel, challah, rugelach, blintzes, corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, and their world-famous matzo ball soup. “The members of our congregation look forward to this event each and every year because it is an opportunity not only to celebrate our culture, but also to introduce and share what we love about it with others,” says Rabbi Bruce Greenbaum, spiritual leader of CBI. “After all, you do not need to be Jewish to love Jewish food!” In addition, CBI will offer a variety of outdoor cultural events for the entire family. Festivities will include continuous live musical entertainment from internationally acclaimed folk duo Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd; Hoo-Tza-Tza, a
Santa Cruz-based band that specializes in Klezmer and Gypsy music; and Zambra, a women’s vocal group singing Jewish Diaspora music. When attendees are not treating themselves to the Festival’s many tasty delicacies, or enjoying the unique energetic sounds of world music, they can partake in Israeli folk dancing, storytelling by Susan Newton, sanctuary tours, and handmade crafts, or be swept away by a Jewish wedding enactment. The event will also feature a number of entertaining activities for the kids. My Museum, a Monterey County Youth Museum, will bring their ever-popular Wheelie Mobilee, an outreach van that captures the kids’ curiosity and creativity with interactive carts. The Jewish Food Festival is sponsored by Peninsula Communications and the United Jewish Community of the Monterey Peninsula. Free parking with frequent shuttles to the Festival will be available at Carmel Middle School on Carmel Valley Road, approximately threequarters of a mile east of Highway 1.

Health and Well-Being Hospice volunteers sought Volunteering with Hospice of the Central Coast is a rewarding experience, for the volunteers as well as the patients and families who rely on hospice services. People interested in volunteering are invited to attend one of two open houses, from 10 a.m. to noon or 2-4 p.m. on Wednesday, August 31, at Westland House, 100 Barnet Segal Lane, Monterey. Prospective volunteers will learn about the assistance hospice provides, including driving patients to and from medical appointments, visiting patients, providing respite for caregivers, leading groups, performing administrative duties, and providing massage therapy. Volunteers are needed for those services and more; Spanish-speaking volunteers are also needed. “Volunteers provide such a range of services that there are opportunities for everyone, no matter how much or how little time they have to share,” says Stella Bennett, RN, director of Westland House and Hospice of the Central Coast, both part of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. Volunteers receive training before beginning their work with patients and their families. Deadline for training applications is September 9 and training begins October 3. For more information, please call 649-7755 or attend one of the open houses.
So...What’s stopping you from living the life you desire? I recently had a session with a client that had requested my services to assist them in actually having the Life they Desired… What I refer to as a life where you stop settling for less and living in default mode…A Life that actually makes Your Tail Wag! That’s right…you heard me… makes Your Tail Wag! The session went something like this…and I invite to… Think of all the things you haven’t done YET. As you think about those things, ask yourself, “What has been stopping me?” The likelihood is that Self-Confidence is a major factor. Self doubt, fear and lack of Self-Confidence can hold us back from achieving our goals. But if we had Unstoppable SelfConfidence we would naturally become aware that we can solve any problem and handle any obstacle on our path to making our dreams become a reality, as well as living the Life we Desire. Yes, and not to mention…but, I will…a Life that makes Our Tail Wag! When we program our Subconscious mind with an unshakable belief…a KNOWLEDGE in OUR AUTHENTIC SELF ….nothing…that’s NO thing… is impossible for us. We then take immediate, massive, repeated action and never give up until we make our dreams come true. One sure-fire way to high levels of self-confidence is to “model” the habits, attitudes, skills and strategies of High Self-Confidence people. Think about that today -- pay attention to who you would “model” and really notice what their habits and attitudes are... This is surely an important first step toward Unstoppable Self-Confidence and the internal power to control your Life in

The Green Page California State Marine Protected Areas Marine Sanctuary Zones, Regulations By Cameron Douglas For generations, the Monterey Bay has harbored some of the most successful fishing activity in the world. Since it became part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 1992, rules and laws have been created to protect the diverse marine life and prevent over-fishing. In 2007, the California Department of
Fish & Game developed The Central Coast Marine Protected Areas. These consist of 15 State Marine Conservation Areas (SMCA’s) and 13 State Marine Reserves (SMR’s.) In the SMCA’s, regulations vary somewhat. The taking of all living marine resources is prohibited, except for the rec-
reational take of finfish, and the specified, limited, hand commercial harvesting of giant kelp and bull kelp. In the SMR’s, the taking of all living marine resources is completely prohibited. Game wardens can cite for wayward fishing, kelp grabbing or tide pool harvesting, with fines up to $1,000. The Pacific Grove coastline is mapped into four sections: Two SMR’s, and two SMCA’s (see illustration). Each zone has a name that associates it with its location. Starting to the west, there is the Asilomar SMR. Then the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens SMCA; the Lovers Point SMR; and the Edward F. Ricketts SMCA. On paper, the divisions are clear: standing on land, they can be difficult to differentiate. There are many different reserves and conservation areas on the Central Coast. A look through the Department of Fish and Game website shows the rules for different regions overlap and are somewhat complex. The following websites contain valuable information: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/ marine/ Here you will find all the current information from the Department of Fish of Game concerning protected areas in the Sanctuary. http://mpa.gov/bookletchart_mbay/ This page will bring up a PDF from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which shows their latest chart of protected areas in the Monterey Bay. The DFG also has an office in Monterey. Call (831) 649-2870.
SPCA issues warning about fishing hooks and pelicans
The SPCA Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center has rescued five California Brown Pelicans with painful and life-threatening embedded fish hooks in recent days. The SPCA reminds everyone who goes fishing to safely discard of their hooks and line to protect our native wildlife. “Birds and sea mammals can be seriously injured by getting tangled in fishing line or swallowing fish hooks,” advises Beth Brookhouser of the SPCA for Monterey County. “If you see fishing line on shores or in the water, please pick it up and discard it in the trash.” If you see a Brown Pelican or any other wild animal in distress please call the SPCA Wildlife Center at 831-373-2631 or call their overnight emergency number at 831-646-5534. The SPCA Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center is the only full service wildlife rehabilitation center serving Monterey County. The SPCA operates under permits from the California Department of Fish and Game and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Public support is important to the agency, as they do not receive direct funding from any federal, state or local government agency. Each year, The SPCA Wildlife Center admits over 2,000 animals for treatment and care.
