City’s Local Water Project on Target to Replace Some Cal-Am water

Currently, the City of Pacific Grove's demands for irrigation for the Municipal Golf Links and the El Carmel Cemetery have been met using potable water from California American Water Company (Cal-Am) The City has been seeking its own sources to relieve cost of and dependence on CalAm, especially as Cal-Am approaches the deadline of a Cease-And-Desist order with no project of its own having broken ground.

There has been significant progress in planning and engineering a recycled water project, known as the City of Pacific Grove Local Water Project. Phase I of the Local Water Project will replace dependence on Cal-Am for approximately 125 acre-feet / year (0.25 million gallons per day) of irrigation demands with non-potable supplies, according to a recent staff report.

Cal-Am is under court order to find a new water supply to reduce its withdrawals from the Carmel River Aquifer and Seaside Groundwater Basin. In 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Board Order WR 2009-0060, also known

Times • Page 3 In Southern California, new homes are rare and costly October 24, 2014 • CEDAR STREET

By Kevin Stone, Monterey County Association of Realtors® New home prices have soared in recent months in the Southern California region, with the median for the six-county region peaking at $538,000 in June, according to CoreLogic DataQuick. And in affluent ZIP Codes, builders are bidding up already-high land values. Overall, new homes have become all too rare and costly for the average buyer.

A surge in higher-end projects has pushed new home prices above their pre-recession peaks, even as prices for existing homes remain one-fifth below their bubble-era highs.

In Orange County, the median new home price has topped $800,000.

Builders have piled in to pricey ZIP codes — bidding up land costs there in the process — and polished their projects to a high gloss to woo wealthy buyers with cash or good credit.

Projects aimed at the middle of the market remain scarce, and overall home building is off about 60 percent from a decade ago. The shortage of new lower-priced product is one factor making Southern California among the toughest housing markets in the country for middle-income families.

While new homes have almost always sold at a premium, that premium has hit

new highs this year. In January, the gap between median-priced new and resale homes in Southern California peaked at $151,000, a 41 percent premium for a new house.

Several factors contribute to the widening price gap between new and resale homes, housing economists say. For example, competing bids drove up the cost of land in prime areas in 2012 and 2013, which means higher prices today.

Some builders have made a conscious decision to move upmarket because they see more profit and upside in catering to wealthier consumers. KB Home is among the builders moving upmarket. The Los Angeles builder, long a specialist in entry-level homes, has shifted to more affluent, “land-constrained” neighborhoods.

Re-Elect Rudy Fischer

To the Pacific Grove City Council Politics, it has been said, is the art of satisfying those who are irritated without irritating those who are satisfied. While an almost impossible goal, my commitment is to listen to everyone, look at all sides of an issue, weigh all potential impacts, and then vote for what I think will benefit the most people and the City of Pacific Grove long-term. Some may not like the way I voted on one issue but love how I voted on others that are important to them – and I suspect that is about the right balance.

I am committed to doing what is best for our community and I ask for your support – and vote – in November.

For more on my positions, please go to Smartvoter.org.

I have been endorsed by:

Monterey County Association of Realtors Monterey County Hospitality Association Monterey County Chamber of Commerce The Monterey County Weekly The Monterey County Herald Alan and Margie Cohen Anne and Jim Brown Robert Sadler Ken Cuneo Ron and Carolyn Schenk Kim and Alec Murdock Ray and Jeanne Byrne And my lovely wife, Kathleen But the most important endorsement if yours on November 4th. I thank you for your support.

Experience, vision, a proven record.

Re-Elect Mayor

Bill Kampe Walking our Neighborhoods I’ve now had the chance to walk to over 2,500 homes in our city.

I’ve appreciated the encouragement and the comments from our residents. You have been overwhelmingly cordial. In comparing notes with our council candidates who are also walking door to door, I hear the same thing...our citizens know we have set out to serve in difficult roles, and they appreciate someone who is willing to do it. For those who may be upset over an issue, I find your candor helpful and often gives new insights.

Your comments give a much more balanced understanding of the views of our citizens compared to the highly concentrated input that we may hear at City Hall. I feel a broader sense of the community leads to better actions by the council.

So thanks to all who have taken a brief moment to receive a brochure, or just a bit longer to share a thought or ask a question.

I appreciate your support. And please be sure to vote!

RAT PACK DINNER AT CIBO: Following the

Drift back to a tuxedoed, glamorous era where the famous rubbed shoulders with the politicians and partied hard. Frank, Sammy & Dean, all around entertainers injected their songs into a lifestyle that everyone wanted.

The lights dim, the room quiets and the announcer says “Ladies and Gentlemen, direct from the bar... Dean Martin!!” Dean opens the show with a few songs and some relaxed humor, introduces Sammy to kick up the energy, then Frank appears to belt a few great standards. The guys then take the stage together to sing and joke their way to a fun finale, including audience interaction along the way.

“A Toast to the Rat Pack” will take you on a musical journey featuring the greatest hits from the legendary Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This production will treat you to Frank’s hits including “Come Fly With Me”, “Lady is a Tramp”, “My Way”, and “New York, New York.” Enjoy the soothing sounds of Dean with great songs like “Volare,” “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime,” and “That’s Amore.” And from the great Sammy Davis Jr... “That Old Black Magic,”, “Mr. Bojangles,” and “Candy Man.” These guys not only sing like their heroes, they physically resemble them on stage, share their unique mannerisms and even talk like they are at the Sands taking part in the “Summit.”

A Few of Barbara’s Faves

By Barbara Russek Home Sweet Home! There’s nothing like sleeping in one’s own bed and tending to one’s own garden after a long summer hiatus. Yet, as I think back to the 3 l/2 months I recently spent in Pacific Grove, some of the places I shopped and stopped for lunch still put a smile on my face. It wasn’t just the food or the inventory but a certain je ne sais quoi that gave these venues a special place in my PG book of memories.

Miss Trawick’s Home & Garden, 664 Lighthouse Ave.

Miss Trawick’s is the perfect place to find that unique gift, relax and people watch all within one shopping adventure. One sunny August afternoon, as I passed Miss T’s, the outdoor love seat beckoned me.

I settled comfortably into the loveseat, watched the passing parade on Lighthouse, then closed my eyes for a few moments, Suddenly footsteps came toward me. Uh oh, I thought, someone’s going to tell me it’s shopping time.

In the sweetest voice, Lisa, one of the two new owners suggested, “Why don’t you get a cup of coffee across the street and bring it back. Then your relaxing moment will be complete.” I’ll always remember Lisa’s gracious words to me. Next visit, I’ll be sure to buy something.

Spirals, 570 Lighthouse Ave.

A little gem on the PG resale trail. The spacious arrangement of inventory (for men, women and home, much of it high end) gave me the feeling of being in an upscale boutique. During my stay, I snagged a Chico’s turtleneck sweater and White House/Black Market shrug, as well as a few separates and my two favorite accessories: jewelry and a scarf. With a little patience, I was able to got most of these items “on sale.”

On sale in a thrift store? Such a deal!

The Nest, 229 B. Grand Ave.

Talk about patience! Phyllis, owner of The Nest, a high end women’s boutique, takes that quality to a whole new level. One day while walking up Grand Ave, I saw it in the window: a simple but elegant hand knit cardigan in one of my favorite colors: dusty pink. It begged to be tried on and was indeed a perfect fit—just short enough to let my turtleneck peak out the bottom. But, it was a bit on the pricey side…

I went about my business for the next few days, to see if the cardigan still called to me. It did. Actu-

ally I went back to The Nest four times. Phyllis was as gracious the fourth time as she was the first, laughing about me coming back to visit the sweater again. During the fourth visit, I bought it: an acquisition I didn’t need but desperately wanted. Phyllis even gave me a sweet deal on the price. I love my new cardigan but it was Phyllis’ warm interaction with me that sealed the deal.

Blessings Boutique 620 Lighthouse Ave.

A shopper’s paradise, offering an amazing selection of new, vintage and resale items. I couldn’t resist a white lacey scarf and a pair of sun glasses that is still in perfect condition after being tossed into my purse an infinite number of times. I have always found Sherry and her staff to be friendly and welcoming whether I bought something or not. That’s the ultimate litmus test of good customer relations.

Pacific Thai 663 Lighthouse Ave.

It’s one of my favorite spots to stop for lunch, a restaurant where I can actually get hot fresh vegetables. My favorite lunch special on Pacific Thai’s menu offers a choice of chicken or tofu, fresh steamed veggies and rice. As a regular at PT, I frequently requested all veggies, no rice. No problem. The meal was frequently too much to finish and made the perfect light snack right before my yoga class.

Grove Market, 242 Forest Ave.

I have always enjoyed shopping in this hometown market. Their deli/hot foods dept. is worth several yums in my book. Lana’s kale salad (to the main ingredient Lana adds other goodies: fruits, nuts, goat cheese and an amazing vinaigrette) was the best I’ve ever had.

Grove Market offers perks you won’t find in the chain stores. If you spend $50 or more, with a coupon from Foolish Times, they deduct $5 from your bill.

And they still offer that most welcome service of free delivery on $25 or more.

If I haven’t had a chance to check out one of your favorite places, don’t worry, I plan to return next year.

Any suggestions for me?

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols

100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove Main line Man shoots his wife

The Monterey Cypress has reported to the Pacific Grove Review that a man living in New Monterey has murdered his wife by shooting her.

The violence occurred very early Saturday morning, last. Mr. John Riley had just returned home after an evening of hard boozing at the Del Monte Resort. It is reputed that Mrs. Riley had been on her husband about his excessive drinking, and was dismayed by his backsliding.

From all that could be learned by the Review, Mr. Riley arrived home, intoxicated, to find an irate wife waiting up. Mrs. Riley began berating her husband with a diatribe.

Mr. Riley carried a small piston which was to be used for protection in case he won a sizable sum of money, which he had not. Riley produced the weapon with which he attempted to quiet Mrs. Riley’s tirade by waving the pistol in the air. Mrs. Riley was not to be quieted. Desperate for some peace and quiet, Riley pointed the pistol at his wife and pulled the trigger.

Mr. Riley then had what he described as a couple of drinks. Then he picked up the telephone to advise police captain R. L. Anderson of the mishap. Immediately, Anderson got underway. At the Riley residence, Anderson said that he found Riley sitting calmly beside the body of his wife, the pistol still held in one hand.

As well as serving as police chief, Anderson was in the employ of Mr. T. A. Work as head watchman. Anderson indicated that in either capacity, he felt authorized to arrest Mr. Riley, which he did. Riley resisted only slightly before accompanying Anderson first to the police station and then to the McNueley Sanitarium where he is to be treated.

The Review will provide more details as they come available. 1

New candidate enters race

Mr. Joseph Wilks has announced his candidacy for the position of Justice of the Peace for the Pacific Grove Township. Rather than offer a statement, Wilks said that voters will be given the task of deciding on his qualifications. The Review suggests that careful consideration be given to Mr. Wilks.

It is beginning to look like a quarrel over dates for next year’s Chautauqua and the Church Congress on Reforms is beginning to heat up, now that the Church committee has announced dates traditionally belonging to Chautauqua. Charles Barker, of the committee, notes that dates should be open to all, and not reserved for anyone. A. J. Hansen, Chautauqua coordinator from Santa Clara, replied that tradition is tradition and that a clash in dates might increase Chautauqua’s recent year’s drop in attendance.

The Rev. MacAuther of Salinas, affiliation not announced, said that the development of such home entertainment as radio may be putting an end to the need for out-of-home experiences such as Chautauqua. The Rev. MacArthur predicted the coming death of summer’s Chautauqua events.

Rooms Available

The Pacific Grove Board of Trade has completed renovation of its old headquarters located on Fountain avenue. The Board has announced that several rooms are now available for public use. Contact Mr. Hal Gerome for reservations. Mr. Gerome has promised that guests will be treated to viewing a comprehensive diorama picturing Grove history.

Gambling den uncovered

Justice of the Peace Michaels has announced the discovery of a New Monterey gambling parlor by the Monterey County Sheriff and two deputies this past week end.

The den could be reached by a tunnel extending from Ocean View (Cannery Row) and was patronized primarily by local Chinese. The Sheriff reported finding games such as Dimsun Hayan and Pinyan being played on tables alongside sizeable deposits of cash.

There was some evidence of food service, but not enough to consider the establishment a legitimate café. Principals were named for trial. The hearing date has not yet been announced. 2

Anti-tipping bill to be considered

In Sacramento, Senator Davis has submitted legislation that would make the giving or receiving of a tip illegal. Davis said that the bill would make all services or goods received to cost exactly the same. The senator also said that he hopes passage can be gained without opposition.

The Review suggests that such a departure from common practice is sure to attract controversy and, hence, opposition.

Side track – Tidbits from here and there

The Itinerant’s Club picnic will be held at the new picnic grounds, near Moss Landing, Saturday next. Busses to the site will be provided. Sign in early for transportation.

Notes from the author …

1 Was Mrs. Riley really dead? A Salinas paper reported that she had been seriously wounded by the gunshot, but that it was she, not her husband, who was in the MacAulty Sanitarium (operated by Dr. MacAulty) waiting for removal of the bullet from her body. It was also reported that it was Mr. Riley who was in T. A. Work’s employee (as foreman on a Work ranch), and not Anderson. Riley was alleged to have been depressed at having allowed a stampede of Work cattle, rather than being accused of alcoholism.

2 Why was the JP’s name and “local Chinese” the only ones mentioned? Well, there was an election coming up.

Oh, Those Wiley Witches Dana Goforth

Diggin’ It

When I wasn’t playing in the tall spring grass in the fields behind my house, I was usually hanging out on my neighbor’s front lawn with a group of other little girls. Our favorite thing to do was pluck the abundant little white flowers that popped up in early summer, carefully slit their stems in the middle, and string them together to make garlands and necklaces. If we were lucky and found tall ones, we braided these little gems into our hair for fairy crowns.

Little did we know that White Clover (Trifolium repens), or Trefoil as it is knon in the British Isles, was considered by the Druids to be a charm against evil spirits.

Clover also represents innocence and holds an extremely offensive smell that only witches can detect — they avoid it at all costs. Hence, the protection attribute for little girls.

The Mystical Power of Plants

All cultures hold mystical beliefs around plants, flowers, trees, as well as specific parts of plants. Some of those beliefs have survived hundreds of years and are still integral to many religious and spiritual ceremonies.

The humble Marigold, (Tagetes spps.; not to be confused with calendula or pot marigold), was once considered a shield against the spells of witches. In a twist of logic, it worked because the witches used the golden flower to wreak havoc; but if you knew this, you could counteract the spell by using the flower yourself. Hence the saying, “What can kill, can cure.”

The scent of the marigold flower is said to attract those loved ones who have departed, and they are still used to adorn traditional Dios de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) alters from October 31st through November 2nd. Primarily a Mexican celebration, many non-Latino people now honor ancestors during this time when the veil between the worlds is thinnest and those on the other side may partake in the festivities.

Marigolds are also placed on alters in Northern India, where garlands of yellow and orange flowers adorn participants in Hindi wedding ceremonies and are draped over doors to welcome guests, keeping out witches and other evil beings.

As little girls, my friends and I were on to something!

Preternatural Plants of Witches

Shakespeare’s “Eye of newt, and toe of frog…” are nothing compared to the power of plants. The unholy trinity of plants in any witch’s arsenal are the Mandrake (Mandragora), which is known to scream if its roots are being wrenched from the earth and kill those humans within hearing range; Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna), a key ingredient in flying charms; and Wolfsbane or Monkshood (Aconitum spp.), a very effective poison to be used against enemies.

Trees also grow in a witch’s garden. A flying broomstick must have a handle made from an Ash tree (Fraxinus spp.), to aid in night navigation – and it has the added bonus of safeguarding the witch against drowning.

The bristles of a witch’s broom must be made from the branches of the Birch tree (Betula spp.), which aids in courage. As if hopping on a broomstick and flying through a stormy night is not risky enough, add to that the job of flinging diabolical curses on unsuspecting humans, well… every little bit helps I suppose.

The most important trees for witches are the Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) and Elder (Sambucus spp.). Any night, a witch might decide to turn herself into an ancient hawthorn tree, waiting with gnarled twig hands to grab an unsuspecting traveler and gobble him or her up. The elder tree, on the other hand, is a favorite place for a witch to call home and dire consequences await the innocent human who cuts down an elder tree without first offering apologies.

O Who can tell The hidden power of herbes, and might of Magik spell?

—Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene

All is not Lost

For every plant a witch uses for ill-gotten gains, there are benevolent plants for protection. On the top of this list is Angelica (Angelica spp.). This plant is not listed in any ghastly spell or anti-charm recipe that I’m aware of, making it numero uno on the good plant list. Planted on the border of any garden, angelica will not only protect the plants and animals, but will remove any curses that a witch or other fiendish being might have pitched your way. Early Christians thought of angelica with such reverence that one monk dubbed it, “The Root of the Holy Ghost” or the Holy Ghost plant. A bonus is that parts of the plant are sometimes used to flavor alcohol.

No garden is complete without a Mullein plant (Verbascum thapsus). Held in great regard as a valuable source of protection by both European and Asian cultures, the humble mullein has immense power to repel evil spirits. The sturdy yellow spikes, which appear in summer, are nicknamed “Hag’s Taper” and make excellent substitutes for lamp wicks -–often used in Midsummer’s Eve celebrations. Mullein was one of the few plants Ulysses took with him as protection against the deceitful charms of Circe.

A sweet little plant that has great protection attributes is the Scarlet Pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis). The pimpernel loves to pop up along paths, roadsides, and other areas of transport. This shy plant opens its flowers for only a short time on sunny days, but it packs a wallop against any malicious intentions from local witches and should be included in any garden, especially juxtaposed to a path.

Tree Talismans should not be overlooked in a wellrounded protection garden. The Rowan tree (Sorbus), also known as Mountain Ash or Witch Tree, is one of the most sacred trees in Scottish lore. Twigs shaped into a cross from the rowan are often placed above doors for protection from sorcery and general spirit mayhem. Even though witches prefer the branches from an ash tree for broom handles, that tree also holds powerful properties of protection for humans. Staffs of ash are still carved into walking sticks and are said to protect travellers from hobgoblins and other menacing creatures.

While many plants are associated with witches and other evil beings, plant folklore probably began with very practical intentions. Most plants associated with evil doings are highly toxic and often hallucinogenic. That is not to say they don’t hold medicinal qualities, because they generally do. The ancient healers were usually women with a vast knowledge of plant lore. There was a time in our history when these female healers became a threat (for various reasons, to various parties) and were dubbed sorcerers and witches. Today, plant lore and the medicinal qualities of plants are being honored in our society. Many women once again are calling themselves witches. Who knows, one might be living right next door…

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts

Making a Difference

Some years ago I wrote a column about the head Valet Parker at Spanish Bay. This past summer he was gone for almost three months ostensibly on vacation. When he returned he told me that he had had surgery for prostate cancer. He is now fine, but wants to pass the message along about how important the yearly exam is. Men are hard to convince that they are not impervious to life’s physical onslaughts. I know I had to urge my husband as do many wives. For those men reading this, if there is no one to push you, I will. Please get checked, it might save your life. Now for a lighthearted and heart warming of the early days of The Treasure Shop when we were still on 17th Street. It was February of 2007: “There are occurrences as we move down life’s path that some would call miracles. Those skeptics among us would say coincidence or happenstance, the name is irrelevant because when these events touch as they make us realize that wishes are horses and beggars do ride for a time.

I had been managing the Animal Friends Rescue Project’s Treasure Shop for a little over a month. I was on staff, whereas during the period the shop was open during the previous months we were all volunteering our time to see if it would work. Work it did, on a grand scale; we had been blessed with excellent donations, customers and volunteers. Although there is no loading zone in front, no parking in fact, we are working on this and hope that it will happen. In the meantime we are grateful to everyone who is willing to face the inconvenience for the end result, a beautiful little shop, filled with wonderful treasures and happy people.

Recently I experienced what I choose to call a miracle; although it was more than that, it was an outstanding example of kindness and generosity. Some weeks ago Richard Griffith, a fellow Rotarian, gave to the shop all of the left over decorative items from his furniture store.

When we went over we were faced with shelves and shelves of fabulous merchandise. We had only one car and the goods needed to be out within a couple of hours. On the chance that my son Jay, might be at home I gave him a call. He was there and, as is true to his nature, said he would be right over to help. We still faced a number of trips from Fremont in Monterey over to 17th Street in Pacific Grove, as well as boxing everything.

I will digress a moment. A few years ago I tore a tendon in my ankle.

While it has healed very nicely walking more than a block or so is difficult. In the beginning of my infirmity I took advantage of valet parking when I went to The Inn at Spanish Bay for the Tuesday noon Rotary meeting and I continue to do so. The Head Doorman, John Bunting, and his staff have been more than kind and considerate. They urged me to let them park my car weekly, in exchange I bake them cookies. When I continue with my story you see that this isn’t simply professional courtesy, it is a way of life for this man.

Back to our dilemma: We now had two cars, my little Cadillac and my son’s convertible, three men (my grandson, Spencer, was also on hand) and me. Suddenly through the open door came a young man.

“What are you doing here? He asked. It was John from Spanish Bay. He had been at the Seven Eleven and saw my car with the trunk up.

Thinking I might need some help he wandered over to investigate. The end result was that John offered to help with the packing, load his truck with the boxes and assist us with the delivery and unloading. He said it didn’t interfere with his plans, but it was over and hour out of his life.

It saved us an entire afternoon. It still amazes me that this happened.

John lives in Salinas and was on his way to the Sports’ Center in Monterey. Of the thousands of people in this county, what was it that brought him to the store across the street just at that time? A miracle? What else could it be?

This was an example of generosity, that of Richard and Bette Griffith; John Bunting; my son, Jay and his son Spencer. I am not forgetting my husband. John, who is always there when I need him. “ Since that time the shop expanded into four rooms in the 17th Street location, then, with the help of Rotary, moved up to Fountain and Central, and in 2010, again with help from some Rotarians, to the current spot at 160 Fountain.

John now lives in Seaside with his long time sweetheart. They have six children between them but all are their “kids.” This is an example of the goodness which exists in people and I have done my best to “pay it forward.”

I try to exemplify this with people and certainly with animals. It makes me feel good and such random acts of kindness will make you feel good as well.

Make a Difference Day is tomorrow, try to make a difference in all of life’s activities as does John Bunting.

Mary Elizabeth Howell, 95, was born December 18, 1918 to Kirby and Estella Payne McIntyre in the northern California town of Willows. She was known to friends and family as “Betty” or “Betts.” Betty grew up during the Great Depression and the lessons of hard work, frugality and charity that she learned in those years served her well all her days. After graduating from Princeton High School, she moved to Sacramento where she attended Heald Business College and worked for the State Department of Employment. During World Wr II, she joined the United States Navy as a WAVE and served as a Pharmacist's Mate in Naval hospitals. While stationed at Camp Pendleton, she met the love of her life, Charlie Howell.

They began married life in 1946, a happy union that lasted 66 years until his death in 2012. She loved following the high school sports that Charlie coached and in which her sons and grandsons participated. She held wonderful after game parties and her home was always the focal point of holiday celebrations for her family. Her family was her life. An advocate of health and fitness, she and Charlie could be seen walking Pacific Grove's waterfront pathway far into their 80s. Always on the lookout for a good bargain, she was for many years an inveterate garage sale attendee.

Although Betty's chief role was that of homemaker, she worked outside the home for a short time as a substitute school secretary for PGUSD and also at the Green Stamp Store in Pacific Grove. She supported PTA activities during the time her children were in school and was a long-time volunteer for the American Heart Association.For many years she worked at local polling places for the Election Board and was a 30-plus-year volunteer at the Thrift Shop at St. Mary's By-The-Sea Episcopal Church where she and Charlie were long-time active parishioners, A good friend to many, Betty was known for her compassionate care for those in her life who were ill or in need.

Betty leaves many treasured memories for her family to hold in their hearts and will always be an example of how to live a kind and loving life, She is survived by her children: Charlene (Mylo) Lowery, Steve (Kendra) Howell, Bobby (Jolene) Howell and Suzanne (Matthew) Candela as well as her grandsons, Garrett, Evan Parker (Julia) and Trevor, and an adored great grandson, Trent.

Opinion

Technology is an Educational Tool Editor:

Joan Skillman

Recently, I was trying to explain whale migration to a 4-year-old, when he stopped me mid-sentence to say “I don’t get it. Can you show me on YouTube?”

Afterwards, he took my iPad and created a digital picture book -- with his own illustrations and recorded voice -- describing what he had learned in his preschool classroom.

This is the power of technology, when it’s used well, in education. It can open up new worlds to students, whether they are visual or kinesthetic or auditory learners.

And it allows them to find and express their unique voices in engaging ways.

Students can create movie trailers to serve as book reports. They can mix their own music to express the mood of a poem. They can publish their science data on blogs analyzed by peers across the world.

Technology also raises valid concerns -- it can distract us from the natural world and from educational pursuits. But research has shown that the best way to teach students how to appropriately use technology is to actually have them practice using it in safe spaces, like school.

To quote Elyse Eidman-Aadahl, of the National Writing Project, “many young people are already active digital consumers, but school is often the place where they learn to be critical, reflective and powerful digital citizens.”

Yet, right now, many students in Pacific Grove aren’t learning to use technology as an educational tool. In large part, that’s because they simply don’t have access to the computers they need at school.

That’s what Measure A would correct.

I’m an educator who works with teachers and districts throughout California, and Pacific Grove schools are falling far behind when it comes to technology integration. From Watsonville to Carmel, more and more schools are moving toward one-to-one models -- where every student

has a computer or tablet to use for educational purposes. When I visit Pacific Grove schools, however, I see many classrooms with almost no technology access at all.

No matter how good our teachers are, they simply cannot prepare students for the future without access to technology hardware. They can’t even meet the current education standards without this access. These standards require students to create multi-media products, write collaboratively online, and use internet research tools, starting as early as kindergarten.

Without technology access, meeting these expectations is impossible.

The only way we can expect our teachers and our students to keep up is to equip them with working modern devices.

Measure A is integral to our schools’ --- and thus, our community’s -- success.

The few dollars per month in increased property taxes is an extremely reasonable cost for this benefit.

That’s why I will be voting “yes” on Measure A. Katy Scott Pacific Grove

Cannot Afford Measure A Editor:

It is interesting to see how biased your newspaper is for anything the PGUSD does. You do not care about anyone in the community of PG. Those of whom wait on your tables, those of whom mow your lawns, those of whom serve you in a retail store.

I was very upset to read the comments of a teacher regarding Measure A, in the Monterey Herald. Her suggestions of sacrificing the a mere dinner insulted me.

I am a mother, and resident of PG, with three children. We try to make ends meet each month, to pay for food and rent. Each time a new measure for PGUSD passes, our rents go up, our income doesn’t. As a resident of PG, my family is struggling.

To go without a meal is a sad reality that has occurred in our home.

Your letters to the editor are constantly saying how great rising property values are. This is a bad thing. Most of us can’t afford to buy a home because the prices are rising. PGUSD needs to consider the entire community. The board members think everyone is making a six figure salary. That is not the case.

PGUSD took in $24 million in tax revenues last year. They spent only $275,000 on technology. PGUSD is currently paying DS&C $197,000 (PLUS approved reasonable and necessary outof-pocket expenses”). The money is being misspent. The money is already there, they need to budget it correctly.

I have already adjusted my budget, I can not support any additional measures that mismanage the schools’ revenue.

I CAN NOT AFFORD to support Measure A. Ellen Ruiz Pacific Grove

Anybody’s Daughter: What a Lesson Marge Ann Jameson

Book Review I have an early memory of my father, just home from the Korean War, shaving off his handlebar mustache. I don't recall what I was thinking; I only remember looking up at him from where I was, crawling on the floor in rompers that had kitties on the knees.

I remember arguing with my mother, when I was about 4 years old, because I wanted to wear a cardigan on a hot day. I can hear myself saying, “See, Mom, there are all these little holes. I won't be hot.”

I can recall a kindergarten teacher embarrassing me in front of the class for guessing that a “3” and a backwards “3” together would be a great way to draw an “8.” I think that incident is the first where I can bring up an emotion.

They're only snapshots, though.

But Barbara Manning, author of the autobiographical “Anybody's Daughter,” can conjure up the feelings, impressions, and beliefs of a 3-year-old and then impart them to us, the readers, with amazing clarity. We know exactly what is happening, we know exactly how she felt.

“Aunt Dinah dries my hair so hard that I can make wiggle noises with my voice,” she writes, when she first introduces us to her family – her real family.

Nine people, two bedrooms. Her mother, her grandmother, three uncles, two aunts... then two younger sisters arrive. But no father.

And eventually begins the trail of foster homes and a Catholic orphanage.

We meet a litany of people who leave impressions on Barbra's young mind – and body. Genuine, loving people. People who are only looking for the stipend that comes with harboring foster children who will do the chores and babysit the others. We cheer those who are good to her, we want to confront those who aren't. We can feel her rage, her puzzlement, her sense of loss, because Barbara is so good at remembering. We eventually figure out why she can't live at “home” for very long, learning along with Barbara the truth behind those first childish impressions.

We flip through the pictures in the book and wince at the one captioned “Barbara's fifth foster family.”

Barbara takes us up to the day she graduated from high school, and we know nothing more about her from her own pen.

We don't know how she met her husband or how she raised four children of her own and saw them graduate from college.

We know that being shunted from foster home to orphanage and back to her family home was outside her control. But we know because we read the “About the Author” that she survived, even thrived.

How? How did she do that, when she'd been held out of school, worked at menial jobs, spent her years from 6 to age 18 in and out of foster homes where she faced abuse and yet found hope and love.

And today she works with a private social service agency to find mentors for foster children, having developed the belief that it's the faith and guidance that other people – adults – give to foster children that is the most important factor in their lives. She expounds on this attitude in the final chapter, in what was a rather stilted conversation with a favorite priest.

It is our hope for those thousands of children in “the system” that life in foster care is much improved these days, and that the pictures of their childhood will show more than images of a hopeful blond girl.

as the Cease and Desist Order (CDO).

The CDO sets a timeframe for Cal-Am to reduce pumping from the Carmel River to its recognized legal limits by the end of 2016. Recent reports indicate that CalAm will not be able to meet this deadline, which makes Pacific Grove's Local Water Project even more important to the citizens of Pacific Grove.

With the help of James Brezack & Associates, a consultant hired by the City, the City of Pacific Grove obtained a grant from the State Water Resources Control Board to fund preparation of a Facilities Plan Report for the Pacific Grove Local Water Project. The Facilities Plan Report has been reviewed and accepted by the SWRCB. The Draft EIR has been prepared and is currently undergoing public review for the Local Water Project. The Draft EIR is available at the Library, the Community Development Department, and on the City’s website as follows: http://www.ci.pg.ca.us/index.aspx? page=28&recordid=182&returnURL=% 2Findex.aspx The Draft EIR has been available for review since September 16, 2014 with a public comment period until November 5, 2014.

The staff report states that the Facilities Plan Report and the CEQA Plus document are required to receive low-interest loans from the SRF program for project construction.

Typically, SRF loans are made at an interest rate equal to one-half of the rate of bonds sold by the State of California, approximately 2.25 percent. The SWRCB approved an interest rate of 1 percent for a maximum of 30-year term for wastewater recycling projects, which is one of several actions called for by Governor Brown in the Drought State of Emergency. Additionally, the SWRCB may provide a construction grant for up to 25 percent of the cost of the project, according to the staff report.

To date, the City of Pacific Grove has not received comment letters on the Draft EIR. The Final EIR is under preparation and will be considered by the City Council on November 19, 2014.

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.

Ghost Tales of Haunted Pacific Grove

Given the long history of Pacific Grove, along with the popularity of preserving old and storied houses and other buildings, it’s not surprising that ghost stories have grown up around many of them.

The feeling of being watched...footsteps heard when no one else is in the house... is a benevolent spirit watching over the property? Did someone love the house so much they couldn’t bear to leave it, even in death? Or did some horrific event take place there, leaving a psychic imprint in the air that can’t be erased or explained?

Randall Reinstedt, a Monterey Peninsula native, says he didn’t set out to be a ghost hunter. But given his interest in history, he became a collector – and publisher – of ghost stories. They go with the territory. Most of the stories in his

books on the subject, written over some 20 years, came to him when someone approached him with the story, not because he searched it out.

As a result, Reinstedt has written 12 books on the varied history of the Monterey Peninsula, including seven on the subject of local ghosts. He has also written eight books on local history for young people.

From his Ghost Notes compendium come this tale of ghosts of Pacific Grove.

Seventeenth Street in Pacific Grove is well known for its Victorian structures. It is in one of these buildings that this story takes place, upon moving into the house in question an older woman and her daughter spent the first night sleeping on the floor.

During the night the mother woke up to

the sounds of footsteps in the hall heading toward the bathroom. Thinking it was her daughter, she lay awake waiting for her to return. Soon he heard footsteps approaching the room they were in, but when the reached the door they stopped. Concerned, the mother got up to investigate. It was then she noticed her daughter asleep in her sleeping bag, where she had been the entire time. A quick check of the hall revealed nary a clue as to who (or what) had made the sounds.

Another “clueless” happening that took place in the house was the feeling of someone – or something – sitting on a bed, on one such occasion, when the mother s resting, she felt the bed give as if someone had sat down beside her. Thinking it was her daughter, he turned to give her a hug...

but no one was there! Upon learning of this incident, the daughter had a difficult time accepting it until a similar experience happened to her, one day after lying down to take a nap, the younger woman felt her bed give as if someone had sat on it. Thinking it was her mother, she opened her eyes to find no one on the bed – or anywhere in the room.

In sharing these incidents with me, the older woman insisted that the happenings were not scary. Instead, she said, the presence radiated a warm and friendly feeling, as if it was happy with the way the house was being cared for.

Art Walk Finale and New Exhibits at PG Art Center Decade-Old Event to Merge with First Friday in the Spring

By Dixie Layne Nearly a decade ago a small group of Pacific Grove artists and gallery owners assembled in the little house in Jewell Park with Moe Ammar from the Chamber of Commerce to discuss how they could bring attention to the wonderful art colony that inhabited Pacific Grove. This group developed the original Art Walk that was scheduled around the Art Center’s New Exhibit Opening Galas. Today it’s known as the Wine, Art & Music Walk. This coming Friday evening, Oct. 24 is not only the finale of the 2014 Walks but is the event’s finale as plans are being finalized to merge Pacific Grove’s First Friday event with the art walk to bring an inclusive event to Pacific Grove each month.

First Friday is a grass roots event celebrated in many cities and towns which involves art and other types of merchants and attractions in an opendoor showcase on the first Friday of each month. In Pacific Grove, it began in March, 2010.

The eight galleries participating this month are looking forward to a wonderful evening of celebration Friday, October 24 with wine, music, and new art exhibits showing everything from the traditional to the exotic and fun; many of the galleries will have live music and be serving wine and sustenance. Art Walk maps are available at all the participating galleries.

If you start your walk traveling up 16th Street from Lighthouse to the Butterfly you will be greeted with the saxophone playing of Michael Brautovich, offered wine and repast and invited in to view the coastal impressions of Barry Marshall of Pacific Grove.

Just around the corner and down Lighthouse at Taft & Teak, proprietor Janneke Rowland-Wolken is featuring two local artists: Lesley Ann Spowart is showing a collection of mixed media and oil paintings; Leah Orlowski, a DLI

Hero Athletes: Ronda Rousey

The Rowdy Arm Collector

Ronda Rousey was born on February 1, 1987, in Riverside California, with an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, which damaged her vocal chords. She was unable to speak coherently until she was six years old. Later when she was eight, the tragic death of her father, a suicide after being informed by doctors that he had Bernard-Soulier Syndrome (which would kill him within two years), Rousey found herself away from everybody else and uncomfortable to talk to other children her age. Her mom, who held a 7th degree black belt, began teaching Rousey the ways of becoming a martial artist. After watching the MMA match between Gina Carano and Julie Kedzie on TV, her life began to assume a new color and she adopted the nickname Rowdy Rousey.

Rowdy Rousey’s career in mixed martial arts (MMA) began in 2010, as she trained under Gene LeBell, the grandfather of MMA. To this day, striking mentor Edmond Tarverdyan and wrestling coach Martin Berberyan train Ronda as she pushes herself forward on the grounds of the Glendale Fighting Club to become a better wrestler and mixed martial artist. As a heroine, Rousey always fights to the best of her ability and while pushing away all the negative energy that she attracts from society just because she is a woman, she never gives up on her goals. Having won all of her MMA matches, Ronda never stops believing in herself and what she is capable of doing. She inspires many female MMA fighters to face the fear of losing and stand up in the ring.

Already a heroine for being the first female American to win a Golden Medal in World Junior Judo Championship in Budapest in 2004, and becoming the first American female after ten years to win an A-level tournament gold at the World Cup in Britain, Rousey became even more rowdy and set herself on a new level by breaking UFC’s rule of ignoring women fighters. After her victory against Liz Carmouche in February 2013, Rousey made her way into UFC as the first UFC Women’s Bantamwight Champion. Rousey’s confidence and valor enabled her to stand proud and strong as a member of UFC and set an inspiration for women and people throughout the world, especially for people who tend to underestimate themselves and suffer from low self-confidence to believe in who they are.

Many would argue that Rousey’s attitude and appearance are not what is expected from a woman, and fighting in MMA is not suited for women. These people tend to believe there are sets of rules for women and how they act that are different and more conservative than those set for men. What makes Rousey a heroine is that she breaks away from false and traditional ideologies and expectations, and she stands free and proud as one of the leading athletic women who push to bring equality between men and women and show the world the incredible ability each woman has inside herself to contribute to the world.

Since 2013, Rousey has been working in Hollywood in movies such as The Expendables 3 (2014), Fast & Furious (2015), and Entourage (2015). She has also been involved in manifold documentaries and TV shows, such as UFL Ultimate Insider and The Roots of Fighting. Through My Father’s Eyes, released in July 2014, is a documentary based on Rousey’s life.

When retired, Rousey is planning to take on the career of coaching to teach other fighter her salient skills of fighting. Rousey has already demonstrated herself to be a true hero.

Breakers shut out RLS, move to 3-0 in league play

Ben Alexander

Golf Tips

By Jon Charron

The Stevenson Pirates were no match for the Pacific Grove Breakers on Friday night. Led by solid all-around play, the Breakers beat the Pirates 33-0 to move to 4-1 overall, and 3-0 in league play. [10-17-14] The Breaker defense has been playing at an extremely high level since league play started three weeks ago. In their last three games, the defense has only given up 14 total points. On top of holding RLS to 0 points, they only gave up 38-yards of total offense in the game. The defense was ferocious, and constantly put pressure in the RLS backfield.

Both Noah Cryns and John Buttrey added interceptions to the defense’s strong play.

One reason the defense is playing so well according to defensive coordinator Todd Buller, is that the “kids are buying into the mindset of attacking to the ball.” Buller adds that “they are in constant communication and are on the same page.”

Special teams also played an important role in Friday’s game. On the opening kickoff Stevenson fumbled the return and the Breakers recovered it allowing the Breakers to get off to a good start. The Breakers would drive the ball 72-yards, mainly off of strong runs by Keenan Selbicky. Selbicky would finish the drive by pounding his way in from 11-yards out to give the Breakers a 7-0 lead.

At the start of the second quarter, the Breaker special teams would add maybe the play of the game, when Zack Miller was able to block the Stevenson punt and Uche Ebo picked it up, returning it for the touchdown. On the Breakers’ next possession, Anthony Coppla capped off a 57-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run to put the Breakers up 20-0 at the half.

Late in the third quarter RLS attempted a punt from their own 13-yard line, only to have the punt sail out of bounds on their own 35-yard line. With great field position, Coppla called his own number again and took the quarterback keeper 26-yards for another Breaker touchdown. A quick three-and-out by the Pirates would give the ball right back to the Breakers with good field position to start the fourth quarter.

From the Pirate 43-yard line, Coppla would connect with Noah Ryan for a 22-yard pick-up. Three plays later, Jason Leach finished off the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run to give the Breakers a 33-0 advantage over RLS. The score would hold true and the Breaker defense would complete the shut-out.

“The biggest thing is that we play a lot of guys [on defense], about 18,” Buller said, adding, “We are led by three strong linebackers in Keenan Selbicky, James Donlon, and Cameron Cuellar.”

The Breakers (5-1, 3-0) will play their next game at Gonzales (3-3, 1-2) on Friday, October 24, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.

Golf club needs vary from person to person. If you have the right club in your hands you have a good chance to play some good golf. Many women I teach have hand-me-down clubs from friends but the problem is they are using men's clubs. Men's clubs are longer and heavier and the grips are larger for the hands so Ladies, make sure you play with ladies' fitted clubs. They are shorter in length, lighter in weight and the grips at smaller in diameter for your hands.

Girls’ golf team ready for MBL Championships

After having a great season, the Pacific Grove girls’ golf team are preparing for the Monterey Bay League Championships (MBL). The Breakers finished regular season action with a record of 10-3.

At the beginning of the season head coach Marcia Waitt would not give a prediction on how the girls would perform because of the amount of players they lost to graduation.

Now though, it is easy to say that they would maintain the success from last season.

Andrea Kelley, a junior, stated that “we are doing really well.” She added, “We got some really good girls, and I am happy with how we did [this season].”

“Even though we lost some good players from last year, I expect us to [place about] the same as last year,” senior Becky Cooper said on her expectations of the upcoming MBL Championships. The team placed third last year, just missing an invite to the CCS tournament. With only two out of the fifteen teams in the MBL making the CCS tournament, the Breakers will have to play a well-rounded game from top to bottom to make it. The top teams in the league happen to be Santa Catalina, Stevenson, and last year’s MBL Champions Christopher. These are also the only teams that have been able to beat the Breakers this season.

Junior Hayley Yukihiro said that she thinks the team will do pretty good, “Everyone shoots in the forties and fifties.” Yukihiro added that “I want to shoot in the low nineties and qualify for the CCS.” The tournament will take place at the Rancho Canada Golf Club’s west course on Monday, October 27 at 11:00 a.m.

In the Window: My Career as a DJ

Tom Stevens

Otter Views A semi-annual checkup sent me Monday to a Monterey dental building that seemed converted from some earlier use. The spacious floor plan and general airiness of the place suggested real estate or insurance offices, but the picture windows were the clincher.

The many dental practices I’ve patronized over the years did not have picture windows. If anything, they had one or two small windows set high on the wall, as if to discourage any thoughts of escape. If larger windows were present, blinds often masked the views.

There’s probably some sound medical reason for this. Perhaps daylight interferes with the beams cast mouthward by those swing-necked dental lamps that look like E.T.’s head. Also, the patient would not want the dentist to glance out the window, even momentarily, at a passing parade or Blue Angels fly-over.

On the other hand, a picture window can be a nice feature for the patient. Reclining in the chair Monday, waiting for the technician to fire up her little tooth buffer, I watched a blackbird perched high on a tree. The sky behind the bird was Tahoe blue, and warm October sun spangled the tree’s yellowing leaves.

It was a very restful scene. Then – zzzzZZzzzZZZzzz – the buffer wheel spun to life. I closed my eyes and drifted into a reverie, or as close as one can come to reverie in a dentist’s chair. My mind’s eye projected a slide show of picture window views I could recall. Sunlit ocean scenes segued to a vista of dormant volcanoes, then to a panorama of mist-shrouded jungle cliffs. Other windows framed tree canopies of various kinds.

Avocado trees heavy with fruit, plum trees in riotous bloom, coco palms rattling their fronds, maples and aspens smoldering with autumn color.

Amid these picture window views was one anomaly. Nearly all the windows I could recall were ones I looked through to see something outside. But in Sonoma one winter, I wound up in the opposite situation. I sat behind a big picture window, and passersby were supposed to look in at me. I was the view.

It wasn’t a “living mannequin” deal, although I have seen some astounding mimes posed in fashion store windows. No, this was a big old family grocery store that in 1986 fronted Sonoma Plaza. I can’t recall the store’s name, but we’ll call it Marinelli’s. I don’t know if it’s still there. Like the town, it may have morphed into something sleeker.

I spent that fall and winter in Sonoma, living out of my van, harvesting grapes and walnuts in exchange for parking. It was a bucolic life, but good jobs were scarce for van hobos. At length I managed to string together three small jobs. I’d pick fruit or nuts in the morning, coach junior high volleyball at mid-day, and spin jazz records for a small local radio station at night.

Appropriately for wine country, the station’s call sign was KORK. Its low-watt broadcast signal could be picked up off the air by passing cars and in nearby neighborhoods. Very nearby neighborhoods.

I didn’t realize how small and local KORK was until the owner described the set-up.

We were in the crowded Sonoma Hotel bar he also tended. In retrospect, it was probably not the most propitious setting from which to launch a deejay career.

“You’ll be in Marinelli’s front window,” he explained. “That’ll give the station added visibility. I’ve got two turntables and the sound board set up in there, and a speaker broadcasts out onto the sidewalk. You’ll engineer your own show. Your shift runs from 6 to 10 p.m. The pay is five dollars an hour.”

Before I could grip his arm and share how excited and grateful I was, he held up his hand. “There is one . . . um, idiosyncracy.”

“What’s that?”

“Well, the store closes at 8, and the owner locks up then.”

“You mean, I’ll be locked in? Can I have a key?”

“No, the owner doesn’t trust a deejay with a key. But it’s only for two hours. My shift here at the bar ends at 10, so I’ll be right over to let you out.”

What can I say? I was young then. Younger, anyway. And the thought of spinning records in a storefront window before a throng of sidewalk listeners held a certain antic appeal. Until I actually did it.

What I learned was that picture windows trap and hold winter cold extremely well.

Once the store closed and the heaters shut off, my little deejay station turned arctic. By the time my shift got under way, it was pitch dark outside and the streets and sidewalks were empty. The picture window showed only my shivering, wool-mittened reflection.

By ten I could also see my breath.

Still, I was happy spinning jazz in an icy window for an unseen audience nearby, even if no requests came in. Then one night the boss arrived early. He handed me a fancy bottle of wine.

“I’d like you to do an on-air KORK giveaway,” he instructed. “First caller wins this excellent Sonoma cabernet.”

You can guess the rest. I flogged that excellent wine for three hours, and no one ever called. Finally it sunk in. The occasional sidewalk vagrant aside, station KORK had no listeners. Or no listeners who drank wine, which in Sonoma is the same thing.

When the boss unlocked me from the store that night, I returned the wine, then pulled off one frosty mitten and shook his hand. “Th-th-thanks f-f-for the job,” I shivered. “It’s been an education.”
