Cafe Ariana Wins Enclosure Battle -- With Compromise
Cafe Ariana will be keeping their fence. The enterprising restaurant on Lighthouse which was among the first to take the City of Pacific Grove up on the suggestion of outdoor seating, will compromise on the subject of the fence’s attachment to the sidewalk and allow the City to make a sliding and lock-inplace connection which should be installed by August 6. The new connection will please the Alcoholic Beverage Commission ( Ariana’s serves beer and wine) which requires an enclosure around outside seating. Maria Favaloro wanted the fence to be bolted as a safety precaution against people leaning on it and falling over. The City allegedly backed out on its original approval of the fencing after it had been installed. The fence originally was held in place by four bolts at

Canadians Get Lost in Pacific Grove
A small flock of Canada geese went wandering calmly down Acropolis St. in Pacific Grove recently. At an intersection, half the flock went left, the other half right, until the lefthand group found the going too full of cars and people and rejoined the main group. Canada geese overwinter here, but in recent years they have found it to their liking and have not gone home. Photo by Jim Willoughby.

Times • Page 3 Some Special Picnic Tables are Coming to Lovers Point August 1, 2014 • CEDAR STREET
A re-landscaping project at Lovers Point Park is projected to save the City of Pacific Grove an estimated 700 gallons of potable water per day, or 76,000 per year. Key word: Turf reduction. Cal-Am Water approached the City to promote water conservation by reducing the amount of turf the City needs to water. Public Works evaluated all parks and determined that the five-acre park at Lovers Point uses the highest volume of water of all the City's parks, due to a number of fac-
tors including intensive park usage by the public, its location next to Monterey Bay, shallow tree roots, and the age of the turf. Replacing several strips of turf, a total of 10,200 square feet, with native plants and/or redwood bark and replacing current irrigation with a more conservationfriendly drip irrigation system are major parts of the plan. Other features include a new path of decomposed granite and paths through the native landscaping to discourage trampling it, with an additional goal
of eventually replacing asphalt pathways with decomposed granite. Accessible picnic areas with concrete pads are included in the overall plan. There are currently six picnic tables, with two more planned. They're placed in such a way as to leave large portions of the park open for recreational purposes. The project, as soon as the city council accepts it, will be paid for with a grant from Cal Am Water. The picnic tables were a gift to the city by a private donor.
Bruce recently moved to Pacific Grove. His late wife was in a wheelchair, and, on a walk through Lovers Point Park, it occurred to him that wheelchair accessible picnic tables would be a wonderful way to round out the gift of the picnic tables he had planned to memorialize her. So soon there will be two special tables, and a plaque will say, “In Memory of Linda M.Andersson and Pancake Picnics in the Park with sons Eric and Garett.” It will be signed “J.Ä.D. - B” which means “I Love You” in Swedish.

DIANNE LYLE DIRECTOR The City has received a five-year waiver from the Coastal Commission for removal of excess tule growth and sediment in Crespi Pond, located on the Golf Links. Since the pond has not been cleared in several years, the sediment has reduced the depth in many places to no more than one foot, according to the staff report. In addition, the tules are covering an increasing percentage of the overall pond, and restricting water circulation.

each juncture. After the interim planner okayed it weeks ago and the Favaloro family, which owns Cafe Ariana and Favaloro’s Big Night Bistro next door, installed the fence according to the plans and enjoyed an immediate upsurge in business, particularly since the weather has been cooperative recently. By and large, the public approved and liked it and are flocking to the outside seating. But then City approval was rescinded and the Favaloros were told to remove the fence, even though it was under the required setback from the street by a number of inches. City workers were even sent to remove it, though the plans did not receive a hearing before the planning commission. Public pressure and media involvement may have played a part, but the City apparently backed down and agreed to the sliding apparatus. The Favaloros take the furniture inside each night. Cafe Ariana has been “grandfathered” in, in consideration of all the controversy and the fact that they followed the plans and approvals to the letter, but other restaurants which opt to do the same thing may not fare as well. The City will certainly be examining new plans closely.

Update: Rescued Greenfield Pets Anne Muraski, SPCA
Animal Chatter On July 23, the SPCA for Monterey County rescued dozens of dogs, cats, and kittens from a house on the 300 block of Apple Avenue in Greenfield. The Greenfield Police Department, Adult Protective Services, Child Protective Services and Monterey County Department of Health were also involved in the case and the house was declared uninhabitable. In all, 45 cats, 7 dogs, and 31 kittens were rescued from the dirty, cockroach infested house. The rescued pets were stained with urine and feces, matted, skinny, severely infested with fleas, and suffering from ear parasites and upper respiratory infections. Many were confined to small cages. One cat was locked in a cage without food, so weak and emaciated he was unable to move. Sadly, due to lack of treatment, many of the animals were so neglected that after an examination by veterinarians, 45 pets had to be humanely euthanized. On July 29, four tiny puppies were born, bringing the total rescue to 87 pets. Happily, these four puppies were lucky - born in a clean room with ample fresh
food and water for their mother, fresh air, natural sunlight, and lots of love from compassionate SPCA staff. The owner surrendered the pets to the SPCA, which allows us to start finding new homes for the healthiest pets while we continue to care for the pets that are recovering. We will be holding a major adoption event this weekend to make room in our adoption center for the rescued pets to find new, loving homes. This is the seventh large-scale rescue performed by the SPCA this year and the seventeenth since April 2013. SPCA Humane Investigations officers plan to submit the case to the Monterey County Office of the District Attorney this week. To report animal cruelty and neglect, please contact the SPCA at 831-373-2631. All calls are confidential. To donate to help animals like these, please call the SPCA or donate online at www.SPCAmc. org/rescue. You can also donate items to rescued pets by visiting our Amazon Wish List: www.spcamc.org/amazon.

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols
100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove Main line Board of Trade to promote coast-interior highway
There was a sizable crowd at Wednesday’s Board of Trade meeting. Interest was sparked by an item of profound interest to California coasters, particularly to those coasters residing in Monterey, Carmel, or Pacific Grove. To wit, these coasters wanted to know what the Board of Trade planned on doing in reference to the oft talked about highway linking Pacific Grove with the San Joaquin Valley. The result of many positive statements was the Board selecting a committee to look into the project. Placed on the committee were: promoter, R. H. McKaig; a banker, E. C. Smith; and an insurance purveyor, J. K. Frank. Smith immediately suggested a hearty cooperation with area Chamber of Commerces. E. C. Rust, president of the Monterey Chamber pledged to do his best to see that such cooperation came about. The secretary of the Modesto chamber wrote to say that everything possible would be done to see that cooperation between Modesto and the other involved communities existed. The Modesto letter was read in its entirety. The Modesto Chamber had also dispatched a letter pledging cooperation and urging all concerned people to “rally ’round the flag.” Before being named to the committee, R. H. McKaig, recently named manager of the real estate division of the Pacific Improvement Company, was voted a chair on the Board of Trade. McKaig said that he is eager to “get things going” on this road.1
Constitutionalists capture trouble
Mexican Rebels, in retaliation for the capture and shooting of three rebel troops, stormed a Constitutionalist stronghold on the northeast coast of Mexico. Prisoners were shuttled by train to Rebel territory in central Mexico. What the Rebels intend doing with these men remains unclear. However, it is not expected that the prisoners, of unknown number, can expect to fare well. It may be that that the Rebels plan a publically promoted firing squad or hanging. Meanwhile Federal gunboats have Zaratoga under siege, but Rebel troops overran Tampico, an important coastal community. Tampico is now the only truly coastal city held by the Rebels. United States garrisons remain on alert.
Death of Gordon Davis
A fine young man who came here from Dunsmuir is now dead. Gordon Davis, who is survived by his mother and a brother and sister, collapsed in his home and did not recover. Davis had been living in the Grove for the past eight months. His purpose here was to serve as surveyor on the new road project, if approved. Davis was 24 years old.
Report from Sunday School delegation
The delegates to the Sunday School convention held in Woodland recently are to give their reports Wednesday, next, beginning at 7 pm. These reports will be presented in the Methodist church. Cookies and punch will be served afterward. The general public is invited, but Sunday School workers of all denominations especially so.
Demand filed
In the matter of Newlove A. McAdoo, the demurrer has resulted in the demand for all records. This demand was made by Daugherty and Lacy, attorney for Waiter L. Newlove. The complainant asked for a complete accounting of all records.

As the last skyrockets boomed and flared over Monterey Bay, each bright flash fixed a fleeting image in the mind’s eye.

Mary Louise Fleming Reynolds Obituary Mary Louise Fleming Reynolds, born August 1, 1926, in Pacific Grove, died unexpectedly at Community Hospital on June 3 of a brief illness. She was 87. Mary attended Pacific Grove elementary schools. When she was in the third grade, her family moved to Carmel, and she attended Sunset School. After several years, the family moved to Carmel Valley. They lived in the little brick house now known as Will’s Fargo Restaurant, which was then off a dirt road. Mary attended Monterey High School, taking the bus to school every day and graduating with the class of 1944. After graduating from MHS, she attended Salinas Junior College (now Hartnell College), where she obtained an AA degree. Mary was a good student and was very popular and had many friends. She loved art, always carrying a sketch pad for drawings and designing clothing. The family home in Carmel Valley was a popular gathering place, as Mary’s parents, Archie and Jessie Fleming, always welcomed the Valley kids into their home for meals and parties. In 1946, Mary met Judd Morris Bradley on the beach in Pismo Beach while visiting one of her high school girlfriends. They fell in love and were married in Monterey shortly before he shipped out to Okinawa. When he returned from the war, they settled in Los Angeles. After a number of years there, Mary and her three children, Carol, Charlie, and Richard, moved back to Carmel Valley to be near her parents. Mary was always interested in fashion and design. In the late 1950s she was hired as a fashion model at the Mark Thomas Inn in Monterey, where she modeled clothing during fashion shows and luncheons at the hotel that they were selling in their dress shop. She worked part-time at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital for several years before working as a bookkeeper for City Hall Garage in Pacific Grove, located across the street from City Hall. Following that, she worked in the office of the Monterey County Board of Education for many years. Mary’s second marriage in 1964 was to local realtor John Harrison Reynolds. John was well-known by all in town for his friendly smile and quick wit. He loved to stand in front of his real estate office (where Juice and Java is now) and visit with passersby. John had a kind heart and did not shy away from a pretty woman with three children. Mary then had her fourth child, Rosemary, in 1965. In the late 1960s, Mary and John and a number of Pacific Grove locals had a vision and built Los Pinos facility on Congress Avenue for the mentally challenged. Today the facility is operated by Gateway Center. Mary came from a family of Masons, Scottish Rite and Eastern Star members. She joined Pacific Grove’s Ocean Spray Chapter (which is now Reveille) of the Order of the Eastern Star in December 1967, and became Worthy Matron in 1973. She remained a life-long member. In the mid-1970s, Mary became involved with Herman Adrian Spruit in the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch-Malabar Rite (an independent Catholic movement). She ran the Sophia Divinity School and was the church’s Matriarch for nearly 20 years. She was a talented seamstress and designed and hand made the church’s vestments. She retired in 2006 from her church duties and was honored with the title Matriarch Emeritus. She loved the people and the devotion to worship. In her duties as Matriarch, she traveled the world to India, New Zealand,

Opinion State Parks: The Next 150 Years By Senator Bill Monning
Natural beauty, open spaces, and history are just a few reasons why we love our parks. The sense of stepping into the past or the thrill of pushing one’s limits with mother nature are feelings hard to describe or put a price on, but for generations it has been these feelings that have kept our parks alive. As California commemorates the 150th anniversary of our vast state park system, it is critical that foresight to the next 150 years is kept in mind.
Australia, and other countries, as well as many trips to Hawaii and throughout the United States. She was known as Meri Louise Reynolds-Spruit. Mary also lived in the San Jose area for a number of years and was employed as the Executive Secretary to the Mountain View Board of Realtors from the mid1970s, retiring from that position in 1995. When she moved back to the Monterey Peninsula in 1997, Mary renewed her membership in the Pacific Grove First United Methodist Church, where she attended as a child and where she remained an active member until her death. Mary loved music and to sing and dance and be with people. She often went to music concerts and big band dances with her daughter, Carol, when the famous old bands would come through town. She loved picnics in the park and long walks in the beautiful outdoors with her Border Collie, Liz. She enjoyed attending her class reunions and seeing her former classmates. She was a devoted volunteer and loved Pacific Grove’s Feast of Lanterns, where she assisted her daughter, Carol, each year. She loved angels and had quite a collection, all shapes and sizes. Her beautiful smile and gentle, caring nature will long be remembered by all who knew her, for she was truly an angel in her own right. Mary leaves her brother, Richard R. (Betty) Fleming of Salinas; her daughters, Carol Bradley Lauderdale of Marina and Rosemary A. Reynolds of Berkeley; her sons, Charles J. Bradley of Corning and Richard A. (Susanne) Bradley of Carmel Valley; her grandchildren, Jason A. (Gretchen) Bradley of Tacoma, Jennifer M. Bradley of Chester, Jessie R. Bradley of Corning, and Coty Burnett of Salinas; and her great-grandchildren, Mia Burnett of Salinas and Boaz A. Bradley and Eleanor G. Bradley of Tacoma. She also leaves her cousins, Marjorie Shafer Burton of Seal Beach, Shirley Ann Watson-Amos of Seaside, Charles (Lucia) Watson of Pacific Grove, and Jack Burnam of Monterey. Friends and relatives are invited to attend a memorial service on Saturday, August 2, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the Pacific Grove First United Methodist Church, 915 Sunset Drive, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 and a Catholic mass on Saturday, August 30, 2014, at 2 p.m. at The Church of the Wayfarer, corner of Lincoln and 7th, Carmel, CA 93921. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either Animal Friends Rescue Project, P. O. Box 51083, Pacific Grove, California 93950 or to the SPCA for Monterey County, P. O. Box 3058, Monterey, CA 93942. To sign Mary’s guest book and leave messages for her family, please visit www.thepaulmortuary.com.
Currently, the state manages approximately 280 park properties or units, which consists of maintaining historic structures and trails, preserving wildlife, and providing a variety of tourist and recreational services for all to enjoy. Many state parks sit on the scenic coastline, ensuring that views and access to our oceans are not limited to a few. Many provide access to historic treasures, a fundamental mission of the parks. Yet with dollars stretched thin and an ever growing and changing state, how can we continue to strengthen our parks for the future? One way is to use our parks to achieve positive gains in education. For example, it has been shown that children have an affinity for environmental education, so think what could happen if our youth had more frequent lessons in our state parks instead of annual field trips. With the right infusion of core learning, like math, science, and history, this could produce tremendous gains in a child’s ability to retain knowledge in a fun, new way. State parks can also play a role in the state’s health policy goals. We know all too well that obesity is a health epidemic in California and many people point to a lack of physical activity as a contributing factor. With miles of trails and historical sites to explore, state parks are excellent inducements to physical activity. Parks are not the silver bullet to address this complex public health battle, but they can be a tool to encourage positive health outcomes. Besides the obvious of putting aside land for preservation, state parks allow people to create a connection with the environment that can last a lifetime. A stronger appreciation of our environment by all Californians will help to effectively implement the conservation goals and policies enacted in Sacramento and at a local level. If we want our state parks to grow and prosper, then we need to see our parks as active partners in fulfilling broader policy goals. By working together, we can explore new possibilities for California’s state parks and ensure they shine for the next 150 years.

Scene 48: Harry’s ‘Father of the Groom Toast’ Bernard Furman
H: Yes, and it’s much better than the first one.
Marriage Can Be Funny
H: I rise to honor the newlyweds, Who tonight will snuggle in their bed, Recounting the wonders of this day As happily they cavort and play. We love you both, you can be sure of that, And will through the years, though lean or fat. All our good wishes go to you; Of children we hope you have more than a few.
A: Anything would be better. Let me hear it.
Harry and Alice are seated in the living room of their home in Pacific Grove.. Harry: I can’t believe that Richard is getting married in less than two months. A: Neither can I. Time is moving too fast. I wish it would slow down, so that we could enjoy this happy period longer.
H: What do you think?
H: How are the preparations for the reception coming along?
H: It’s that good?
A: Couldn’t be better. Of course, hiring a wedding planner took a big burden off the shoulders of Emily’s mother. H: Yours too? A: Not really. Emily’s parents made it clear from the beginning that this is their project and they would spare no effort or expense to make the wedding of their only child a memorable event; and I’ve had little to do with it other than to provide the names of the people we’d like them to invite. H: And we get a free ride?
A: Congratulations. A: No. Except that it’s longer, it’s worse than the first one, and I didn’t think that was possible. H: I thought you’d like it. A: Well, I don’t.-----Why are you writing in rhyme, anyway? Why can’t you be like a normal person and write a normal toast? H: I want to do something completely different, so people will remember and talk about it.
A: Oh they’ll talk about it all right. A: They’ve insisted on footing the cost for everything, which is lucky for us, because the florist’s bill alone will probably be more than we paid for Jane’s wedding in total! H: I’ll try again. H: And I thought we were being extravagant! A: Have you tried on your tux?
H: I’ve nailed it this time, Alice! You’ll love this one.

The Green Page ‘What are all these blue things on the beach?’ By Marge Ann Jameson Over the weekend of July 26-27, thousands of blue jellyfish-like animals with clear “sails” washed up on the beach at Asilomar, causing a flurry of conversation among locals. What are they? Could they be Portuguese Man O’ War? Pacific Grove resident Cy Colburn answered: They are velella, sometimes called “By-The-Wind-Sailors.” Periodically, when the water temperature rises and the wind is just right, the unfortunate sea animals are blown onto the beach to be stranded when the tide recedes. They die after a few days, and their skeletons are blown away by the wind. Cyndi Dawson, environmental scientist at Asilmoar State Park, says the mass strandings don’t happen every year on area beaches. “They’re part of the ecosystem,” she says, noting that the rangers leave them alone and let them die and rot, even though the odor is not very pleasant. Dawson says the strandings can be three to four feet wide and as long as half a mile. They resemble Portuguese Man O’ War, a poisonous jellyfish, which also locomotes with a chitinous sail above the water. Unlike the 3- to 12-inch jellyfish, whose tentacle colony grows typically 33 feet in length, but can be up to 160 feet, the velella is only 2-3 inches long and its tentacles are not poisonous to humans. Like jellyfish, they are actually a colony of animals, and feed primarily on plankton. But they are not even related to the jellyfish, instead floating along in a category all their own. The “sail” is located on an angle to the length of the body and “tacks at about 45 degrees away from the following wind,” according to Ed Ricketts, who wrote about them in Between the Pacific Tides. He noted how the sail runs northwest to southeast on the velella that wash up on our quadrant of the Pacific Ocean, while on another form has sails which run from northeast to southeast in the quadrant where Japan is located. And in the Southern hemisphere, it’s the reverse, likely a function of prevailing winds that tend to sort them out. Ricketts also noted, as do many other descriptions, that velella tend to blow ashore in the spring: This July visit to our shores is rare, and it has been suggested that it’s a harbinger of an El Niño. Cyndi Dawson points out that there is an app available on iTunes and for Android which invites citizen reports. It’s called JellyWatch, and it’s free.

Soil health talk at Monterey Library
We often overlook ensuring that our plants and vegetables are planted in the right conditions for healthy growth. Why does it matter? Soil is alive and full of beneficial nutrients. Dirt, on the other hand, is dead. Join Master Gardener Ramie Allard of Blue Door Garden Design to learn how to optimize and enhance soil health and biology. The talk will be held on Monday, August 11 at 6:00 p.m. in the Monterey Public Library’s Community Room. Admission free. For more information call (831) 646-5669 or email montereyseedlibrary@gmail.com.
Painting Over Graffiti
Over the last few weeks vandals have spray painted graffiti on the rocky point at Lovers Point. Public Works staff has tried multiple techniques to remove the graffiti from the rocks but unfortunately some of the areas had to be painted over to mask the red paint that was used for the graffiti markings. At left, Public works paints over the graffiti that was on the west rocks directly over the ocean. From the City Newsletter
