Pt. Pinos License for Liquor Sales Hits a Snag
Dory Ford's application to the Alcoholic Beverage Control department for a type 47 license – the ability to serve hard liquor – has run up against a snag. Ford, proprietor of the Pt. Pinos Grill, made application recently and, likely in response to letters from individuals opposed to the idea, the ABC contacted the City of Pacific Grove to learn whether or not hard alcohol was allowed in the “Open Space” district. The City advises that the golf course and the grill are in the “O” district, but the General Plan and municipal code envision much more than just open space in that zoning district. The O District includes properties such as Chautauqua Hall and the Beach House, where hard liquor is currently being sold as part of doing business. The City's general plan does not specifically mention alcohol sales, though it does mention ancillary uses. The municipal code does address the question of alcohol sales. The City of Pacific Grove owns the restaurant/clubhouse property, and the golf course. The City also owns Chautauqua Hall and the Beach House property. Dory Ford and Pt. Pinos Grill are tenants at the clubhouse. The discussion at the Wed., Oct. 15 City Council meeting opened a “can of worms” concerning the actual use permit. The use permit, as issued, is for on-sale beer and wine and does not explicitly exclude hard liquor, but it doesn't address it either. The City Council decided to weigh in and make a clarification on the use permit. The subject will probably not come before the Council until the new council is seated (including winners of the Nov. 4 election), which will not be until after the Dec. 3 meeting. Dory Ford may pursue the type 47 license but it is expected that the ABC will postpone a decision until after the City Council makes a decision on whether or not to revisie the use permit, amend the lease for the Point Pinos Grill, or other possible action.
Businesses Offer Trick-or-Treat Event
Downtown businesses in the Business Improvement District have teamed up again to offer a safe trick-or-treating event to children on Saturday, October 25. The event is free of charge. In addition to the popular scarecrow contest in which businesses compete, they will pass out candy to children between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The B.I.D. is also responsible for the seasonal decorating on Lighthouse Avenue.

Bill Kampe Neighborhood Meetings Several of our citizens have invited me to join with their friends and neighbors in their homes. These meetings have been very valuable for me to hear the views and questions of our citizens in depth, and to explore approaches to our major challenges — a water solution for the peninsula, how we are managing city expenses, and what we are doing for streets and city infrastructure. I also hear comments on business vitality issues and the types of activities that should be allowed at businesses in our city, with a strong interest in having things to do. Thanks so much to the hosts who have opened their homes for these events.
Perhaps the most encouraging feedback is that so many are pleased to see a thoughtful and constructive approach that our current council is taking on the topics that we address, and they hope to see that continue. I ask your support in this election. Please be sure to vote!

This Book Club, sponsored by the Pacific Grove Public Library, usually meets the second Monday of each month at 2:00pm at the Little House in Jewell Park. The Book Club reads mostly fiction, tries to select critically acclaimed materials and selects books that have been on the market for a while so readers can check them out from the library. Each month one member functions as the moderator, which provides different perspectives and ideas. The moderator selects the book to be read and discussed. The result is individual interests can be shared at the meeting. You are invited to the Pacific Grove Public Library Book Club the second Monday of each month at 2:00pm.

Spiders on the schedule at PG Museum
There will be a lecture on The Natural History of California Spiders on Tuesday, October 28 at 7 p.m. at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, 165 Forest Ave, Pacific Grove. Learn about spiders from the man who wrote the book! Richard J. Adams (author of the UC Press Field Guide to the Spiders of California and the Pacific Coast States) will offer an illustrated discussion of the natural history of California spiders. With more than 40,000 described species, spiders have adapted to nearly every terrestrial environment across the globe. Over half of the world’s spider families live within the three contiguous Pacific Coast states--not surprising considering the wide variety of habitats, from mountain meadows and desert dunes to redwood forests and urban centers. The lecture is free for Museum members and $5.00 for nonmembers. For more information, see the Museum website at http://www.pgmuseum.org/ lectures or phone (831) 648-5716

Opinion Yes on Measure A, From a 6th Grader’s Point Of View Editor: Let’s face the facts, society runs on education. Education is a necessity to succeed in life. By voting yes on Measure A, people are enriching the children’s education who go to the five schools in PG. But not only that, for those who own their homes, their property value will rise. Sure, it costs a little extra, but once people see the effect it has, they will be glad they voted yes on Measure A. The students who go to the four schools in PG yearn for this measure to pass. Take the students at Pacific Grove Middle School. When they saw the outcome of the Fountain project, and new playground, they were euphoric! Just imagine the look on their faces when they find new technology in their classrooms all because of the people who voted yes. Because people come to PG for the amazing schools, by voting yes on Measure A, the homeowners’ property value will rise. Two schools in Pacific Grove have won the California Distinguished School Award, Robert Down Elementary and Pacific Grove Middle School. Vote yes on Measure A, to make our population and our property values soar. It’s true, communities run on education. It’s like their coffee, waking them up, and making them go. The students in PG will surely benefit from the passing of Measure A and so will the homeowners. Claire Bella Pacific Grove

A Great Auction Begins with great Donations
The Trouble With Measure A Editor: PGUSD asks for technology because of the power of the accompanying narrative — our kids might fall behind — and it’s calculated to wrench our emotions. But is that narrative true? As Carl Mounteer pointed out in a recent letter to the editor, our school district spent many millions of their previous bond money on that fancy new stadium, but only 0.65% to buy technology. And according to US News & World Report, PG High is in the top 7% in California. Keep in mind they’ve already tried this technology measure gambit on us, and PG voters defeated it. But that decision was not accepted by the school district. Instead, they “improved” their measure to make it sound better and put it on the ballot again. One clear fact remains: they are trying to take money out of our pockets with Measure A. Yes, during the great recession we needed to be concerned about school budgets. But real estate values are way up and so are property tax revenues. During the year just ended, the school district’s general fund revenues from our property taxes and elsewhere were about $25,750,000 — that’s more than $125,000 per student, K-12. And none of that money is needed for the district’s physical improvements which are finished. Meanwhile, according to city-data.com, our median household income in 2012 was just under $66,000. Our students are already a lot better off than our citizens. So now our concern — rightly — is the fact that we pay higher taxes than anyone in the country, and officials are busily cutting the legs out from under Proposition 13 by adding more and more items to our property taxes (and therefore raising rents too) — items such as Measure A. Like the Library did, PGUSD will get along fine without more and more tax money from us. Please don’t encourage them. Vote no again. Kim Murdock Pacific Grove
PG School’s Computers Can’t Keep Up Editor: My husband and I have been listening to a course about historical turning points in American history, and one of those turning points has been how technology, specifically computers, has impacted our country. Educationally, this innovation has stimulated the way we learn and has increased the rigor expected from today’s students. Beginning in kindergarten, students augment the subjects of math and reading through the computer lab. Additionally, teachers add to the chalk and board lessons of the past by using computer technology to help explain a subject matter more clearly. Common Core Standards expect students to be capable of doing SMARTER Balance assessments by third grade - a computer based assessment. This leads me to the situation in Pacific Grove where I am a teacher. Students are being shortchanged because our technology is not keeping up with the pace. The computers we have are outdated and in short supply. They are not reliable, and they oftentimes freeze up during lessons. What can we do to help? Measure X was Pacific Grove Unified School Districts’ funding for technology. We no longer have those monies as of June 2014. Measure A, an education technology bond, will help assure our teachers, parents, and students that they will continue to be part of a School District that is innovative and forward thinking. Voting YES on Measure A is the way to make this happen. Unquestionably the next generation is worth this investment. Kathy Hunter Teacher Pacific Grove Unified School District

Master of the mbira celebrates melody, harmony in African music
CSU Monterey Bay’s concert series continues on Oct. 24 when the community is invited to an afternoon of African music and culture with mbira and marimba master Cosmas Magaya of Zimbabwe. Serious fans of African music may have heard the unique sound of the mbira, an instrument that consists of keys over a bridge on a hardwood soundboard. It’s found in hundreds of varieties, from small versions with one row of keys to much more complex instruments with as many as 52 keys. While the mbira, sometimes called a “thumb piano,” is found in much of Africa, it has a central place and rich history in Zimbabwe. In the 1500s, Portuguese missionaries noted the instrument being played at the courts of African chiefs. Among the Shona people, it’s used in every facet of life – at weddings and funerals, at rainmaking, thanksgiving and religious ceremonies and in healing. For more than a decade, Mr. Magaya has been visiting North America to teach and lecture at universities including Duke and Harvard. He has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe. The free concert will be held at 2 p.m. in the Music Hall on Sixth Avenue and Butler Street. Driving directions and a campus map can be found at csumb.edu/maps. Please note that a parking permit must be purchased from a machine on the adjacent lot or online at http://parking.csumb.edu/buy-permit
You’re Invited to Dine Out With Friends
During the 40-day celebration of the Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library 40th anniversary from September 15 through October 25, an event is planned to emphasize the relationship between the health and vitality of the community’s l ibrary and the health and vitality of local businesses. Every Wednesday between September 15 and October 25 (that is, September 17 and 24, October 1, 8, 15, and 22) is a night to Dine Out With Friends. On each of these Wednesdays, a local restaurant will be highlighted. Community members will be encouraged to eat a meal or enjoy a snack at the highlighted restaurant. Each restaurant will contribute a portion of its profits from that day to the Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library. Friends will give all of that money to the library. October 22 Pt.

100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove
According to management at the Lace House, the Nexas Company has again erred in shipping a double order. This time, it was pillows that were shipped in excess. Rather than go to the trouble of returning the overage, the Lace House plans to offer the unordered merchandise at unheard of prices. Each pillow will be offered at manufacturer’s cost. These are fluffy pillows, made of pure feathers, delightful to sleep on. They are sanitized and a better opportunity to get new goods at such prices cannot be found. Stop in at the Lace House, corner of Lighthouse and 18th, to try a new pillow. It’s the manufacturer’s loss, not yours nor ours!
Main line New proprietor
On the first day of this month, W. J. Gould, who also serves Pacific Grove as a trustee, took charge of the Grove’s feed, seed, and wood store. Negotiations had been underway for some time to purchase the business from the person of T. A. Work. These negotiations were brought to a close on the final day of last month, and signatures were applied to the agreement. Work has been unrelenting in his service to the Grove, and deserves a thank you as he vacates his desk. As Mr. Gould has experienced several years of working in similar enterprises, he will undoubtedly experience widespread success in his new endeavor. Mr. Gould invites all to stop in, look around, and partake of some

Word has come from El Paso, Texas, that while the United States’ forces are inactively waiting, troops answering to the Mexican General Pancho Villa have dug trenches and pulled at least 45 cannon into place, preparing for a bombardment. While these cannon and troops are still situated across the border, speculation is that an attack is eminent. From the camp of the 6th U. S. Infantry, all is in readiness to strike back. Trusted sources report that Villa is preparing to take on the Americans while these forces are without sufficient cannon, these weapons to arrive by train within the next few days. Lacking adequate artillery at this time, the highest ranking American officers have declared that the United States will have to depend on the superior training of its troops. Considerable pressure is being brought to bear by officials in the capitol city for an invasion of Mexico City. The problem is that the constitutionalists seem to be the only force holding Pancho Villa in check. Zapata, in command of Mexico City troops, is the sort of man who wants all the glory of a victory to go to himself. Zapata has thus given the United States no authority to invade. Zapata says that the Lord, not the Americans, will provide for a legal Mexico. Zapata has moved his headquarters to a site 40 miles south of Mexico City. Rodrigo Quevedo, operating in the Chihuahua area, has sent a threat to the American forces stationed north of there. General Quevedo promises that for each Mexican Rebel killed by either the Constitutionalists or by Americans, Quevedo would order three Americans killed. Quevedo is incensed that the Chihuahua government has asked for the protection of constitutionalists. 2
Annual breakfast served
The ladies of the Civic Club served their annual breakfast yesterday. Approximately 80 members attended. The busy fingers of the ladies had been working for the past few days preparing the repast. The tables were set in the meeting hall of the Civic Club house. The principal topic addressed by speakers was temperance. One speaker, name withheld by request, said she would like to have the vote before the next election. 3 The menu was composed of scrambled eggs, creamed chicken, hash brows, asparagus under cheese, toast, and milk or coffee.

Notes from the author …
1 Aging, Mr. Work was going into semi-retirement. The Work family still owns several area buildings. W. J. Gould became mayor of Pacific Grove and owned the building in which this newspaper is housed. 2 An attempted attack on Americans went awry when several U. S. Model T automobiles, with the sparks set to cause backfires, stampeded the Mexican’s horses. Quiet soon followed and Villa took up a more peaceful life on a rancho near Juarez. 3 ºAlas, the lady was disappointed. Several years would be required before the female vote won the day.

Swimming with the sharks
Skyler Thomas, founder and videographer for the nonprofit White Shark Video in San Francisco, will talk about frequently misunderstood white sharks on Thursday, Oct. 30, when he speaks at the Pacific Grove meeting of the Monterey Bay Chapter of the American Cetacean Society. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Boat Works building at Hopkins Marine Station, 120 Ocean View Blvd. It is free and open to the public. Thomas, whose motto is “turning research into film,” started the video group five years ago to help call attention to the plight of white sharks. He swims underwater with them without a shark cage, recording their movements, behaviors and feedings. “I do think sharks are really cool,” Thomas told a recent interviewer. “The main reason I focus on them is that I think they are in really big trouble and need people to tell their story… If everybody sees what I saw, maybe they would have a harder time killing them or holding them captive.” Recently, Thomas has been snorkeling with humpback whales. His most recent posting last month on Animal Bytes TV is an 11-minute video called “Swimming with Whales: Price of Existence.” It includes incredible underwater footage of humpback whales interacting with snorkelers, and mom and baby whales nuzzling and snuggling like they were weightless in their motion and tenderness.

New Exhibit Opening at the Pacific Grove Art Center Monterey Bay Metal Arts Guild: Small Wonders: The Magic of Macro and Micro
MBMAG members were on a field trip when one noticed a building and exclaimed, “That’s an ugly building, but it would make a really lovely brooch.” Fascinated by the idea of scaling macro down to micro and growing micro to macro, we challenged our member artists to be inspired by anything from a dust mote to a solar system, then re-imagine it, re-construct it, and re-think it into an art piece. Forty-one artists accepted the challenge and brought their visions to the concept. Inspirations were drawn from
naturally occurring objects such as flowers or salt ponds, from architectural structures and from heavenly bodies. Some artists took something small, such as a bird, and reenvisioned it in a large, sculptural form. Others put the sun into a ring to wear on the finger. Some hinted at the source of inspiration, while others created life-like micro or macro versions of their inspiration. Rich with imagination, each artist infused the magic of transformation in their Small Wonders.

Eva Breckenridge Hidden in Sight: Growing Strong
I paint to remember to be fearless and brave in the way I live life. Tumeric feels like earth to me. Rust feels like it is part of the layers of aging. I paint indoors and outdoors. I am obsessed, scared, joyful, insecure and proud, but mostly I love the process. It is just paint and canvas. A painting evolves for me. I rarely set out with an “idea.” Like life sometimes, these are bold and complicated at the same time. Doubt and
certainty collide as I recite my Mantra. “There are no mistakes, there is just the present, just now.” I try throwing paint, using squeegees, sponges and brushes. Once I used a garden hose to remove unwanted paint on a canvas. I remove almost as much paint as I apply, all the time saying what if, what if? The answers are the paintings themselves.

Robin Apple: Out of My Office and In My Element!
I didn’t expect that life would get better with age but it has. How is it that some of us blossom and transform into ever better versions of ourselves while others sustain a flat line or succumb to a downward slope? How do we identify the tools of our own salvation and transformation? For some time I’ve been ready for a change and an evolution. I’ve wanted to practice what I preach as a psychologist and live a fuller and more satisfying life. I started experimenting with my iPhone5 in conjunction with a sequence of post-processing applications to capture and combine images and moments. I found my iPhone5 to be much more accessible and much less distracting than my technically complex and weighty DSLR. It became hard to resist creating images on a daily basis. I slowly built a portfolio of abstract, blended, colorful, figurative and fun images that feature relatable experiences presented in unusual ways. For Out of My Office, I’ve included images from a few different projects created over the past year. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is a series of funky car shots paired with symbols of nature such as flowers and trees and printed on metal to enhance depth, color, and textural features. In That Crazy Museum Called Life, includes an array of images depicting the human figure in one form or another, using a palette of mainly pinks and purples. The Little Horse series is especially meaningful to me since it combines my two passions—psychology and art. I hope these images stimulate curiosity and underscore the sense of life’s multiple dimensions and possibilities.

Times • October 17, 2014 Tapping Memories of The Tap Room through the top of the pile, her skin was quite pale, her eyes heavily outlined, red lipstick and long green nails (or whatever was the color of the day). I must say that first appearances were rather frightening. She billed herself as an astro-numeroligist and had a huge following. My uncle, who was president of the company, was an interesting contradiction. Here was a hugely successful businessman who had created an empire, yet he championed the “little man.” He knew the names of everyone who worked for him from management to server, and their families. He was adored by his employees and few left his service unless it became necessary.

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts Recently there was a story in The Herald about the Tap Room at The Lodge at Pebble Beach... Memories came flooding back and I recalled the time I first was introduced to this popular watering hole. I imagine I was there as a little girl but recall none of that. In 1952 we were visiting Uncle Sam (Sam Morse) at his house down the road from The Lodge in what
was then The President’s House. In that spot are now the free standing hotel rooms. Who introduced me to Ruth Dippel I can’t remember, perhaps Skip Hollins or Elinore Work, or perhaps we just were intrigued and became friendly. Here is what I can tell you about this fascinating woman. She was lanky, a shock of red hair in a beehive with chop sticks pierced

He rewarded loyalty with reward and it paid off with fidelity. Those were good days. My mother, his youngest sister, called him a soft touch, and I am sure she knew, he had helped her more than once, in every way possible. He let Ruth take possession of a banquet in the back of the room and ply her trade for tips, I am sure he also helped her in other ways making certain she had enough to live if money ran short. Where the bar now sits were booths. The bar was manned initially by Lou Gold. Lou was head of the culinary union, as he and Uncle Sam got along very well. He was a great help in any union crisis. In later years he was our neighbor, who delighted our children with treats on Halloween and loaned us his motor home to attend 49er games. When he retired, Rudy Heinz took over. Rudy was German by birth but became an American Citizen and joined the US Air Force in World War 2. Their post was by the side door, and I might note that many residents of Pebble Beach stopped by that door to pick up a bottle which they had ordered. Ruth would set up residence and sit with her cigarette holder held delicately in her vibrant fingers. She was popular; even my mother visited her, because she liked her, but also due to the fact that Mother was very into astrology and the predictions. Actually I would be as well if I knew the person was not a charlatan. There are those who have the gift. Ruth was one. My cousin, Mary Shaw, said that the woman predicted her wedding day before she was engaged. She told me I would marry twice and have three children, but prior to that would move permanently to the Monterey Peninsula. We lived in Tucson and had no thought of relocation. I don’t know what happened to Ruth or when I last saw her, only that she was a fixture in the Tap Room for many years. That was in the early 50s. For almost 30 years The Monterey County Symphony Guild held The Golden Domino Tournament, first at The Lodge, later at Monterey Peninsula Country Club. My husband, John, was the original and long time director of the event. Ann Simpson and I were on the board of the Guild, Andy Simpson a dedicated domino player. Sometime in the 70s after a tournament, the Simpsons and John and I went to the Tap Room for a bite to eat. Sitting by us at a round table was John Elway and his entourage, in town for golf. The boys were all sporting baseball hats, some with bills turned backward. Andy rose up and tapped Elway on the shoulder. “Please, take off your caps.” Elway turned, looked at him, gave his familiar smirk and turned back to his drink. Andy arose again, his bulky, five feet seven frame loomed like the HULK, “Take off your caps” he demanded “There are ladies present.” Every topper was removed. Another Andy story: Once again

Giants Fan from Afar Tom Stevens
Otter Views It was a tale of two cities this week as San Francisco’s pro football and baseball teams squared off against their respective rivals in St. Louis. Thanks to a last-minute interception, the Niners squeaked out a Monday Night Football win over the St. Louis Rams, so we know the outcome there. But as of this writing, the two cities’ baseball teams were still battling for the National League pennant and a shot at the World Series. Go Giants! My formative years took place far from the U.S. mainland, so I didn’t know one Major League team from another. The cities were equally baffling. Where were Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Chicago? They could have been on the moon for all I knew. I had been to the other side of the island, but Brooklyn? Fuggedaboudit. Then in 1954 or 1955, my dad took a trip to New York City for some professional reason. My kid brother Mike and I eagerly awaited his return, not to throw our arms about him and drape leis around his neck, but to ask the question greedy little children pose to all returning travelers: “What did you bring us?” From his satchel he withdrew two wool baseball caps sized for young crew-cut heads. To my brother he handed a dark blue cap onto which a fancy white letter D had been stitched. “Brooklyn Dodgers,” he said, showing Mike how to tug the cap down by the bill. My cap, also wool, was pitch black. On its front panel three bright orange letters intertwined to form the logo NYG. I thought it might be something for Halloween, but my dad said simply “New York Giants.” Tugging my own cap down, I became a Giants fan by default, and a remote one at that. Living a continent and an ocean away from my adopted team ruled out the sort of rabid, live-or-die fealty enjoyed by fans who actually got to see their teams play. I was a fan from afar. Mike and I had a lot of catching up to do. He had to learn about the Dodgers, and I had to do a crash course on the Giants. Luckily for us, the local library carried baseball almanacs and history books, and other neighborhood kids had baseball card collections. Soon we, too, were spending our chore money on flat, dusty rectangles of bubble gum, each packet containing one player’s card. “Bats right, throws right,” the cards might say, or “bats left, throws right.” On the front of each card, the player would be pictured in some staged action pose – throwing, catching, batting, or crouched to field a ball. If I recall, no one was ever shown chewing or spitting, though some had suspicious-looking bulges in their cheeks. The back of the cards listed in print as small as shaken pepper all the statistics baseball fans love – batting averages by year, on base percentages, career totals of singles, doubles, triples and runs scored, earned run averages for pitchers, and so on ad infinitum. As we neared Little League age, Mike and I and other street ball urchins would gather to trade cards in the room of the neighborhood’s foremost baseball fan, our friend Peter. Unlike the rest of us, Peter had not only been to the Mainland, but had actually lived for a time in the mysterious, faraway city of St. Louis. As a result, his room was a shrine to that city, and his mind was a repository of Cardinalia. He knew the team’s current and former lineups and its storied history going all the way back to the St. Louis Browns. His walls displayed action posters of Stan “The Man” Musial and the famous pitching brothers Dizzy and Daffy Dean. To Peter, the Cardinals were the best team in baseball, not Mickey Mantle’s Yankees. When not crouched over baseball cards on Peter’s floor, we nascent fans could be found listening to recreated radio broadcasts of Major League games. The announcers in Honolulu would get inning-by-inning box score printouts from Mainland cities over their teletype machines. Using this meager data, some pre-taped crowd noise, and their own very florid imaginations, the broadcasters would stage entire fake games. A pencil tap on the microphone signaled a hit. If it was a home run, the crowd noise would be cranked way up. From radio broadcasts, trading cards, library books and sports pages, I finally cobbled together a rough working knowledge of the Giants. I stayed with them when they and the Dodgers moved west. Outfield star Willie Mays was my favorite player. My brother’s was Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella or Peewee Reese, depending. Nowdays I stop in at Joe Rombi’s Pizzeria to watch an inning or two on the big TV. In high definition, the Giants look very orange and black; the Cardinals, very red and white. Wish I still had that NYG cap.

Valley of the Heart comes to CSUMB’s World Theater Story of love and endurance staged Oct. 18 and 19
Valley of the Heart explores themes that are ever-present in California – immigration, racism, identity – and folds them into a love story and a history lesson. Playwright Luis Valdez calls it a memory play. As in his own life, a Mexican American sharecropping family takes over a ranch whose Japanese American owners are interned during World War II. The ranch owner’s daughter and sharecropper’s son fall in love in the Valley of Heart’s Delight – now known as Silicon Valley – before Pearl Harbor. When she becomes pregnant, they marry secretly, only to be separated when her family is sent to Heart Mountain and his family becomes caretakers of the ranch. “It’s a love story. It’s a story of two families, it shows the impact of war,” Valdez told the San Jose Mercury News. “But the main theme is that it’s a story of the heart. Ultimately, all these social

we adjourned to the Tap Room after a tournament. It was one of those bitterly cold, sleety nights. Andy asked for hotbuttered rum. The waiter disappeared and returned with the news that no such drink was available. Andy looked at him and politely said “What does he need? It is just hot water, rum and butter; you have all of the ingredients.” Again our server left and, after a long time, came back with the message that it was impossible to make the drink. Andy was never deterred when faced with a problem. He did what he could to see that it was resolved. After many such discussions the waiter came to the table with the ingredients for the drink and our friend made his own. There are many such memories of the spot, some long ago, some not so long, with the Dewars, my cousins, friends and, I suppose, some foes. We had a good time. It was casual, not so expensive and more of a locals destination than now. Rudy, the beloved bartender, went on to work independently. I recall a night at one of our parties, when Rudy was bar tending and Loraine, the long time waitress at The Casa Abrego, was in our kitchen. Suddenly I heard loud voices, Loraine and Rudy were arguing about who knew Mr. Morse better. I am not sure who won that verbal battle. Both are long gone, but, as with Ruth Dippel, not forgotten.

problems we have eventually get solved by the human heart.” “Valley of the Heart” will be performed by Valdez’s company, El Teatro Campesino, at Cal State Monterey Bay’s World Theater at 8 p.m. on Oct. 18 and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 19. The play comes to CSUMB after an eight-week run at El Teatro’s San Juan Bautista theater. The change of venue to a larger space means the “relationship of the actor to the audience changes,” said Joe Cardinalli, artistic and executive director of the World Theater. “I’ve seen the play three times and each time, I find something new to reflect on.” The production kicks off the celebration and commemoration of El Teatro’s 50th anniversary year. “We are pleased to welcome director/ playwright Luis Valdez back to the university where he was a founding faculty member,” Cardinalli said. A special reception with the playwright and cast will be held at CSUMB’s Alumni and Visitors Center following the Sunday matinee. Tickets for the performance and reception are $50. Ticket prices for Saturday’s show and for Sunday’s performance only are $40 premium, $29 general admission.
Discounts are available for students, seniors and military members. Tickets can be purchased online at csumb.edu/worldtheater or by calling the box office at 582-4580. Driving directions and a campus map are available at csumb.edu/maps.

Back to Basics Part I Overview of 1040 Travis H. Long, CPA
Travis on Taxes On Wednesday October 15, the 2013 personal tax filing season came to a close. Or at least it did for most timely filers. People who requested the six-month extension finally had to lay down their cards, or face increased penalties, and being branded delinquent by the taxing authorities. But I am sure you had your returns done long ago! It is hard to believe that 2014 is rapidly drawing to a close, and soon we will start filing taxes all over again. This coming year, I would like to challenge you to spend some time looking at your tax returns and learning something new. I am a firm believer that everyone should have at least a basic understanding of the flow of a tax return. This document is a linchpin in your financial life. Let's spend a few minutes talking about the big picture. You may wish to do this with a copy of a 1040 close at hand. Tax returns can be hundreds of pages long with many supporting forms and schedules, but it all boils down to a
two page summary whether you are John Doe or Warren Buffett...this is your Form 1040. Essentially, the first page lists your income, adjusted by a few preferential items leaving you with your all important "adjusted gross income." "Below the line," as it is known, is the second page, and lists your deductions and credits, calculates your tax, and determines what you owe or will get refunded. Looking at page one in more detail, the top section captures your name, mailing address, and Social Security number. There is also a somewhat passe little box to designate three dollars of the tax you are already paying to the Presidential Election Campaign fund. If you want to learn more about this, I wrote an entire article on its history on April 18. You can find it at www.tlongcpa.com/blog. The first real section is where you designate your tax return "filing status" - single, married, head of household, etc. This is very important because it determines how much your standard deduction is and how quickly you will climb the tax brackets as your income increases. Your status is determined by rules, not choice. That said, married people do have the choice of the generally unfavorable Married Filing Separate status. The next section deals with "exemptions." This is where you list the dependents in your household - generally your children up through college (even if away at college). A parent or someone not even related can qualify, but they have to meet strict limiting rules. You get an exemption from your taxable income of $3,950 (2014 amount) for each of your dependents. Children under 17 may also qualify you for child tax credits which would go on page two. The income section falls next. Wages from your job, interest, dividends, business income, rental income, sales of stock, money received from retirement accounts or plans, pensions, social security, etc. After getting your total income figure, you then are allowed certain favorable "above the line" deductions for things like educator expenses, moving expenses, retirement plan contributions, health savings account contributions, student loan interest, tuition and fees, etc. After subtracting these adjustments, you arrive at your AGI (adjusted gross income). AGI is a key figure and is used in a lot of calculations which could affect your taxes in many areas. Above the line deductions are therefore preferable for that reason, but also because they will have a direct impact on taxable income. Below the line deductions such as itemized deductions are less certain and do not impact your AGI. The taxes and credits section is at the top of the second page. This is where you get to subtract all your itemized deductions listed on Schedule A- things like medical expenses, taxes paid, interest, charitable contributions, and miscellaneous other deductions (like tax preparation fees!). If you don't have many itemized deductions you get the standard deduction instead (for example - $12,200 for married status) as determined by your filing status from the first page. Next, the number of exemptions you claimed on the first page is multiplied by $3,950 (2014) and that is subtracted out to leave you with your taxable income. Your tax is then calculated using tax tables and other rules. With income generally in the $100,000 to $200,000 range or more, you may also hit alternative minimum tax (AMT). In

Is A Hidden Capital Gains Tax Lurking? Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.
Planning for Each Generation I have two conflicting perspectives when I create estate plans for clients. First, in drafting the documents, I try to think of every possible contingency in the event that my clients never revisit their estate plan in the event of changing circumstances. Second, I try to remind my clients that it is a mistake to believe that estate planning is a one-time event when in actuality it is a lifetime process that should be reviewed periodically. Personal situations and the law can change over time, leaving clients with what were once state-of-the-art plans that are now outdated. While it is easy to foresee some possible changes such as the incapacity of a trustee or the death of a beneficiary, it is much more difficult to predict other changes, especially changes in tax law. The massive change to the estate tax brought by the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) that was passed last year had major impact on existing estate plans. One such area of that impact involves capital gains tax. A common estate plan for a married couple is an “A/B Trust.” Upon the death of the first spouse, the trust splits into a revocable “A Trust” for the surviving spouse’s share of the estate and an irrevocable “B Trust” for the deceased spouse’s share of the estate. Prior to ATRA, the creation of the “B Trust” was critical in eliminating or mitigating the application of the estate tax (sometimes referred to as the “death tax”). The creation of the “B Trust” came at a cost: while it helped with regard to the estate tax, it had the potential to create an otherwise unnecessary capital gains tax if there was significant appreciation in securities or real property after the death of the first spouse. When the federal estate tax was approximately 50% and the state and federal capital gains tax combined was 25%, it made sense to choose the capital gains tax over the estate tax. However, in the wake of ATRA, the
creation of the “B Trust” is not critical for the majority of families in order to avoid the estate tax. The result is that instead of choosing between a potentially high estate tax and a lower capital gains tax, the existence of the “B Trust” unnecessarily creates potential additional capital gains tax without having any tax benefit. The potential capital gains tax is lurking in the “B Trust” and might not be discovered until years after the first spouse’s death. For clients who still have traditional “A/B Trusts,” they might want to consider one of two options. First, if married clients are comfortable with the surviving spouse having the authority to completely change the estate plan after the death of the first spouse, they might want to consider creating a “Disclaimer Trust” which does not require that the trust subdivide into an “A Trust” and a “B Trust” at the death of the first spouse. This option gives the surviving spouse the power to decide at the death of the first spouse whether the family’s current circumstances and the tax law in effect at that time make the estate tax or the capital gains tax a bigger concern. Second, if married clients like the idea of the deceased spouse’s share becoming irrevocable to protect the estate planning wishes of the first spouse, they might want to consider creating a “Clayton Election Trust” which allows the surviving spouse to choose the tax treatment of the deceased spouse’s irrevocable trust: either a traditional “B Trust” which focuses on estate tax protection and risks capital gains tax, or a “C Trust” (often referred to as a “QTIP Trust”) which focuses on capital gains tax protection and risks estate tax. Even after the death of the first spouse, it is still possible to change the structure of an existing trust to eliminate the traditional “B Trust” and its potential negative consequences. A detailed trust might include “Trust Protector” provisions that give an individual the authority to modify an irrevocable trust to reflect tax

or other legal changes. If the trust does not have “Trust Protector” provisions, there are several provisions in the California Probate Code that allow for the modification or termination of an irrevocable trust upon petition to the Court under certain circumstances. While a good estate plan will attempt to navigate as many possible changes in the law, it is still prudent to have your estate planned reviewed by a competent attorney every few years to make sure that your plan is up-to-date and still reflects

The Fading Distinction Between City and Suburb
By Kevin Stone, Monterey County Association of Realtors® Are American communities experiencing “the Great Inversion,” i.e. a reversal of fortunes in which cities grow as suburbs decline? While the traditional suburban lifestyle continues to be widespread, new research shows that key features of suburban life not only remain commonplace in the suburbs but are often continued by high-income people even after they move to cities. Using data from Canada’s 2006 census on before-tax average income, the researchers grouped the census metropolitan areas into eight “neighborhood types” based on three key variables: homeownership rate, share of population living in a detached single-family house, and share of people who commute by car. The most interesting finding concerns the “consistently positive relationship between suburban ways of living and higher incomes.” Richer people, the researchers found, tend to own single-family homes and drive cars even when they live in highly urbanized neighborhoods. The study shows that even though there is a diverse range of suburban and urban neighborhoods, the affluent people who live in them lead relatively similar lifestyles. Consequently, when the rich move back to cities, they take their preferences for and abilities to purchase larger homes or condos and private cars. The rich are more suburbanized regardless of where these suburban ways of living occur—a downtown condo or a suburban detached home. Households making $100,000 per year are more than three times as likely to live in suburban rather than urban neighborhoods, whereas households making $0 to $19,900 per year are almost five times less likely to live in suburban as opposed to urban neighborhoods. As housing costs rise and commuting becomes more arduous, higher income people live closer to the urban core in condos and rentals.

simple terms, AMT is a parallel tax system that has a different set of rules and allows less deductions. You calculate the AMT system on every return. If the AMT tax calculation yields a larger tax bill than the regular system, you pay the incremental difference as alternative minimum tax. Real estate taxes and miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to two-percent such as unreimbursed employee business expenses are common items that get kicked out in the AMT system. Next you get to subtract any tax credits you may have. Tax credits are a dollarfor-dollar reduction of tax owed and are therefore more valuable than deductions, which only save you a fraction on the dollar. Depending on your circumstances there are credits for education, childcare, children in general, energy efficient upgrades, etc. The next section is "Other Taxes." There are a handful of other taxes people might incur , such as tax on taking money out of retirement plans too early, household employee taxes, repaying a first-time home buyer credit, etc. The most common, however, is self employment taxes. Business owners must pay the employer and employee side of their Social Security and Medicare taxes. After you add these taxes and determine your total tax liability, you then look at the payments section to see was has been paid in or credited to your account, and whether you will end up owing, or getting a refund. At the bottom of the second page, you can choose things like direct deposit, or applying the payment to the following year. You can also designate a third party such as the tax preparer to be able to discuss the return with the IRS, if the IRS wants to discuss it. At the bottom, a paid preparer also has places to sign and fill out. In two weeks we will start examining Schedule A - Itemized Deductions.

PG Shines at Homecoming JV Wins 26-12
By Jon Charron The Pacific Grove Breakers dominated the Marina Mariners in all phases of the game Friday night, winning their homecoming game 48-7. [10-10-14] After scoring only 7 points two weeks ago against Hilmar, the Breakers have put up 75 points in their last two games. The offense is putting up enormous numbers, but senior running-back Jason Leach says, “Defense wins champions.” After giving up only 6 points against Soledad, they gave up 8 to the winless Mariners. “I like the way they set the tone,” Leach said about his defenses’ performance over the last two games. The defense helped to set that tone, as they held Marina’s offense to only 38-yards of total offense in the first half. The Mariners didn’t even have a first down until midway through the second quarter. Jason Leach led the way in the first half, when four plays into the game he took the hand-off from Anthony Coppla and ran it 67-yards for the touchdown. On the Breakers next possession, Leach scored his second touchdown of the game from 69-yards out to give the Breakers a 14-0 lead. Pacific Grove’s defense then forced another three and out, resulting in yet another Marina punt. On the ensuing Mariner punt, John Buttrey fielded the kick from the 50-yard line, followed his blockers down the right sideline and in for the score. The Breakers next possession ended with a 3-yard touchdown run by Noah Cyrns to give them a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter. Midway through the second quarter, Marina finally got a first down and showed some life. However, the Breaker defense came through and forced a turnover on downs. The very next play, Leach took the hand-off and raced 61-yards for his third rushing touchdown of the game. “It’s all about execution, not making any mistakes, and continuing to get better,” Leach said on his teams’ 34-0 halftime lead. Marina’s only solid drive of the game came at the start of the third quarter, when they drove the ball 80-yards for the touchdown, a 37-yard scamper by running back Anthony Silva. That would not last long however, as Pacific Grove put together a nice 74-yard drive that was finished off by a 6-yard touchdown pass from Colton Moore to Anthony Ramirez. The Breaker defense then created three turnovers in the second half, capped off by Noah Ryan’s interception that he returned for a 40-yard touchdown. The Breakers (4-1, 2-0) will play their next game at home against Stevenson (3-1, 1-1) on Friday, October 17, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. Stats –

I was on the golf course with a client yesterday doing a playing lesson. This is the time when we can see how the student has progressed and how they are doing with the course management, and where the confidence level is. My student hit a great drive and she hit a good second shot on the par four hole and was only 20 yards from the green but struggled at this point. From 20 yards it took her five more shots to finish. Her short game was still a problem so here is the tip of the week: When you practice your game, first set up a practice time each week and stay with it maybe an hour each week. Second, practice chipping and pitching more than your full swings with your driver because you only hit your driver 14 times a round but you will hit double the chips and pitches when you get to the golf course.
