Two Rescues in One Week: Caution Near Ocean Advised

Two recent incidents – one presumed fatal – serve to remind locals and tourists alike to take extra care near the ocean during high surf and rip current advisories.

“Never turn your back on the ocean,” is the popular admonition.

On October 19, at 11:53 in the morning, Coast Guard Station Monterey advised the San Francisco Command Center that an adult male had been washed off the rocks at Soberanes Point. A 47-foot motor life boat was launched out of Monterey and a rescue helicopter crew was sent from San Francisco state Park lifeguards and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection responded from the shore.

Cal Fire launched a small rescue boat but were unable to get close to the victim, prevented by high waves and the rocks at Soberanes Point. A life guard from Asilomar State Park paddled out on a rescue board and was able to pull the man from the water.

The lifeguard and the victim were then recovered by the rescue crew from Monterey, with the assistance of the Cal Fire rescue boat.

They were taken to Monterey for evaluation.The victim suffered mild hypothermia and was transported to CHOMP. An incident on Oct. 25 did not have the same outcome. At about 5:00 p.m., the Coast Guard received a report of two swimmers, later identified as brothers aged 16 and 18, who were swept out to sea by a heavy rip current. A surfer on the scene was able to rescue the younger brother and take him back to shore, but when he returned for the older brother he was no longer visible.

With a Motor Lifeboat and helicopter, Coast Guard and Monterey Fire and California state Park lifeguards ashore, the search continued through the night. At 11:45 a.m. the next morning, Coast Guard suspended the search.

The missing, and presumed drowned, victim is identified as 18 year-old Moraga resident Bryan Capdevielle.

Re-Elect Mayor

Bill Kampe The campaign season is coming to an end next week, and many of you will be going to the polls to vote for those you think can do the best job for Pacific Grove. It is important for you to know that my goals over the next four years are to: • Manage the budget carefully; keeping expenses down while still providing services and finding new sources of revenue for future years.

• Continue the infrastructure improvements in our city.

Though we have started this important work, we still have sidewalks to put in, streetlights to get in place, roads to fix up, and crosswalks to make safer.

• Finish the Local Water (recycling) Project to ensure the health of our golf course and parks – and to free up potable water for other uses in Pacific Grove.

• Make interactions with the city more “user friendly”.

• Look at how we improve the city for you – the citizens who pay the taxes – while still preserving our genuine historic heritage and pleasant way of life here in Pacific Grove.

In short; I want to make our great city even better. I am committed to doing what is best for our community and I ask for your support - and vote – next week on November 4th.

Experience, vision, a proven record.

Paid for by Committee to Re-Elect Rudy Fischer to City Council in 2014 PO Box: 51566, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 FPPC#: 1369313

Please Vote!

Pacific Grove has a strong record of voter turnout. We run about 8 to 10% higher than the whole of Monterey County. In the 2008 Presidential election, 90% of registered voters participated in the election! By our higher participation, we gain a greater than average voice in the affairs of our county. I urge all of our registered voters to vote in this election.

We have our local city council and mayor candidates plus a local ballot initiative. There are county elections and ballot measures. Plus there are state offices and six statewide ballot measures that can have an effect on all of us.

So please consider the candidates who can truly serve to create a better future for the city of Pacific Grove. And look closely at the initiatives and what their consequences will be for our city and state.

Thanks for all of your encouragement during this campaign.

Please be sure to vote!

Wilhelm is given an hour to make up his mind. The sometime “All Highest” proceeds to review his life-long love-hate feelings for his British relatives, the outbreak of the Great War, President Wilson’s attempts at mediation, the Lusitania Affair, the Zimmerman Telegram, Pershing and his doughboys, abdication and exile to Holland, and the rise of Hitler.

‘Future Monterey Bay’ focus of upcoming speaker series

Ron Fenstermaker BRE Lic. #01217622

831-277-3398 ron.fenstermaker@camoves.com

“Innovators, upstarts and mythmakers: the deep origins of Silicon Valley” will be the topic addressed by Stanford professor Paul Saffo on Nov. 4, when the President’s Speaker Series returns to Cal State Monterey Bay. Saffo poses the question: Why does Silicon Valley produce one revolution after another? Conventional wisdom credits big visions, great management and a history of success. Conventional wisdom is wrong, he says. Silicon Valley’s unique edge is built on the rubble of failure, poor management and a crucial third ingredient that leads us to innovate relentlessly against the odds. According to Saffo, that crucial element is inextricably tied to the history of Monterey Bay. Saffo is a forecaster with more than two decades of experience in helping corporate and government clients understand

and respond to the dynamics of large-scale, long-term change. He teaches at Stanford, where he is a consulting associate professor in the School of Engineering, and chairs the Future Studies track at Singularity University. He holds degrees from Harvard College, Cambridge and Stanford universities.

His presentation will start at 3:30 p.m. in the World Theater on Sixth Avenue near A Street. A question-and-answer session and a public reception will follow. Driving directions and a campus map are available at csumb.edu/maps.

The community is invited to this free event. No tickets are necessary, but reservations are requested. Please RSVP by calling the World Theater box office at 582-4580, or going online at csumb. edu/rsvp.

Local Boy Makes ... Music Folksinger and autoharp virtuoso Adam Miller grew up in Pacific Grove. In the photo below, from December, 1970, Mr. Hayes’s fifth grade class at Forest Grove School is performing a Christmas concert. The late Muriel Brady leads the choir. But the kid in front, playing the autoharp, is not Adam: He’s the one just behind the autoharp player, wearing white slacks. The autoharp came later.

Adam recalls setting a goal to learn every song he ever heard, even as a child. A folklorist/song-collector in an age of iPods, Adam has a repertoire of more than 5,000 songs and growing. He has made a career of collecting American songs and the stories behind them, and

performing them to all kinds of audiences nationwide.

And he started here, collecting 78s and asking people to remember old folk songs. In his home in Oregon, he has shelves chock full of music books and drawers stuffed with notes.

“I can’t practice in a mirror,” he says. “I have to have an audience.” He entertains with a hearty baritone voice, sometimes interspersing a falsetto to weave a story, seasoning with incredible talent on the autoharp or the guitar.

He has recorded six CDs full of Americana and travels 70,000 miles each year, doing about 200 performances and criss-crossing the United States “from the Everglades

Flavors of Pacific Grove: Try them all for $50 to the Arctic Circle.”

He grew up in the old house that still stands at 201 Central in PG, which today is a B&B. “Imagine! People are paying hundreds of dollars to sleep in my mom’s old bedroom!” he says.

Adam washed dishes at Tillie Gort’s for $2.35 an hour, and, while still in his teens, became KAZU FM’s first music director. He remembers when their studios were on the second floor on Lighthouse and he was eyewitness to news happening in Pacific Grove.

He’s still in touch with some of the old gang.

Adam left Pacific Grove and moved to Oregon where he felt he could afford a house on the salary of a bard. He’s on the road for more than half the year, and points out

that “there’s a lot of business in being a performer,” with booking and publicity and following up. He will typically do 30-40 folk music houses and a hundred library shows before regrouping.

“I’m probably not the guy you’re going to go see on Friday night,” he admits. “But give me a library or a school...” He has performed his “Singing Through History” show to more than a million American kids from kindergarteners to senior year in high school.

But he has yet to perform on his home turf. That is, until Dec, 7 when he will do an afternoon concert at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Highway 9, in Felton. The concert starts at 2:00 p.m.

Millennials haven’t written off homeownership yet

By Kevin Stone, Monterey County Association of Realtors® Contrary to popular belief, millennials still highly value homeownership, and a majority expects to buy a home in the next five years, according to a CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) survey of young adults age 18-34. C.A.R. President Kevin Brown commented, “Despite recent news reports of young adults moving back home to live with Mom and Dad, millennials haven’t completely written off home buying and still aspire to owning a home.”

The survey found that of the millennial renters, the majority (67 percent) rent because they can’t afford to purchase a home.

More than half (54 percent) gave homeownership an importance rating of “8” or higher on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being “not at all important” and 10 being “extremely important.”

Millennials are optimistic about future home prices, with 59 percent saying they expect home prices will increase in a year, and 63 percent believing home prices will be higher in five years.

Of those currently renting, more than one-third (36 percent) would be motivated by affordable home prices to buy now. Sixteen percent claimed they would be motivated by having the down-payment required to purchase, and 15 percent by an improvement in their finances.

One in two millennial renters has student debt, but

most don’t feel it is preventing them from qualifying for a mortgage. Additionally, more than four in 10 (43 percent) don’t have debt that would prevent them from buying a home.

Even though many millennials saw their parents struggle through the recession, more than half (59 percent) said the housing crisis didn’t affect their attitude toward homeownership being a good investment.

While they aspire toward homeownership, the majority was uncertain or doubtful they could obtain a mortgage now, with 45 percent saying they were not sure, and 33 percent saying they would not be able to obtain a mortgage now.

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols

100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove Main line Apple festival moved

The 1914 apple festival has been moved from Watsonville to San Francisco. The Pacific Grove Review wishes to remind readers that the membership of the Watsonville Apple Festival decided last year that Watsonville apples had fallen in such short supply the festival should be moved to San Francisco. There, a wider conglomerate of growers would be accommodated. The show for 1914 will take place at the San Francisco fair grounds. Next year’s show will be held at the permanent headquarters area located at Eighth and Market streets. Both year’s shows are planned to open on the last day of October. The meeting at which the decision was reached was attended by participants

representing 2,476 shares of stock (a majority). Lamenting falling income, the group considered whether to move the festival north or hold it not at all. Every speaker heard during the meeting favored going to the metropolis. To encourage the return of exhibits, the group voted to guarantee each exhibitor an income guarantee of $250. “This action,” said the director, “should demonstrate good faith.”

Reduced hotel rates are being negotiated and the Southern Pacific has announced special excursion prices for people wishing to visit the show. 1

Murders will draw verdict

A verdict will soon be announced in the cases of Yee Hum, Ho Kim Hew, and Chew Bok. The three men have been found guilty of murdering Lee Koan and Lung Kai. Thus ends the final saga in the vicious murders which so startled the people of Monterey County. This sentencing provided the first reaction to the “Highbinder” violence that was, and is, involved in the ongoing “Tong” wars.2 During the evening of April 27, 1912, a Highbinder3 conflict was taking place.

Highbinders swooped down on the local Chinese headquarters by making their furtive ways to the address at 20 Soledad street. While two of the Tong associates stood guard outside with drawn revolvers, others entered and began ransacking the premises. Several Chinese had been involved in playing cards, and these men were soon confronted.

Aggression broke out. Lung Kai fell, mortally wounded. Lee Koan attempted to run across the street where he could disappear into the office of Mee Dong, an attorney friend. A fusillade erupted. Koan fell, dead. Several Chinese, who had stuck their heads out windows to see what was going on, were wounded in the melee. Not long after, Sheriff May, who had been in the vicinity and heard the gunshots, executed an arrest warrant. Deputy District Attorney Anderson then cooperated with County Coroner J. A. Pell in preparing the prosecution.

All involved in this action deserve kudos for the outstanding manner in which the case is being handled. The Review is waiting for a “healthy” verdict.

Yosemite-to-the-Sea highway revived

The Yosemite-to-the Sea highway plans launched two years ago by the San Joaquin valley counties east of here had been allowed to languish. Now, however, those plans are being dusted off and reconsidered. Action by the Pacific Improvement Company of Pacific Grove is largely responsible for the revival. It was pointed out that San Benito has already built a broad boulevard to work into the highway system. Add in the Pacheco Pass and Santa Clara county roads and progress seems substantial.

Mr. R. M. McCain, new fiscal officer for PIC, stands squarely behind the road which, McCain believes, will prove to be a must. McCain believes the principal highway will connect Fresno with Pacific Grove via Hollister. Side roads will extend throughout the area. The impact will be to give agriculture a big boost.

High School staff Confirmed

The Pacific Grove Board of Education has confirmed the hiring and continued employment of high school several high school staff. To wit: Bert Garner (principal); Roy Kelley (Vice Principal); E. Thomas (teacher, manual training); Miss Mary Lakenun (teacher, English); Miss Evelyn Garner (teacher, foreign language), Miss Kate McGraw (teacher, general science); Mrs. Elizabeth Schandt (teacher, music). School is already in session.

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts

Good Lord Deliver Us!

It is Halloween, the time of the Scottish prayer “From ghoulies and ghosties and long leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us.”

Halloween today is fun and gentle. When I was a child, we pranked a great deal. Once we moved items from one small basement to that of neighbor, put porch furniture from one house to another. Later toilet paper adornment was a favorite “trick.” Witches were of fairy tails. To be sure the ones with which I grew up, the Grimm Brothers, have been sanitized over the years. I slept with the light on after seeing Snow White; the Wicked Witch of the West terrified me and, later, my children.

We didn’t think about or know about the unspeakably terrible time in Massachusetts when 20 people were executed because they were accused of witchcraft.

Arthur Miller, who was questioned by the House of Representatives’ Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956, was convicted of “contempt of Congress” for refusing to identify others present at meetings he attended. Miller and many other artists were black listed. Some never recovered; Joseph McCarthy and his ilk were the witch hunters of their time... Miller wrote “The Crucible” in 1953 as his protest of McCarthyism. This play educated many Americans about the horror of the Salem Witch Trials. While many of the facts were true, some were fictionalized. Others, including names, were correct.

The Salem Witch Trials took place in 1692 and 1693. Before they were over, 19 had been hanged, primarily women (and in one study I read, three dogs). “The Crucible” covered the persecution of many of these people, including Giles and Martha Corey. It all began in the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. A wave of hysteria spread throughout colonial Massachusetts. A special court convened in Salem to hear the cases; the first convicted was Bridget Bishop who was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed on Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women and children were accused over the next several months. By 1693 the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. The stigma lasted for many years. In the case of Martha and Giles Corey, he refused to admit his guilt, nor deny it. The theory was that his property would not go to his heirs; however, most of it had already been confiscated. He was pressed to death by stones placed on his body. It took three days for him to succumb. Martha was subsequently hanged.

William Morse, my ancestor, was a key figure in the only case of witchcraft in Newbury that was ever subjected to a full legal investigation in 1680. William’s wife, Elizabeth, resided with him in a house at the head of Market Street. Two little old people living out their final days, oblivious of what was to come. There were strange goings on which William attributed to the supernatural (a common conception in early New England). A belief in witch craft was universal, giving a solution to anything strange and mysterious.

Caleb Powell, a seaman, suspected the Morse’s grandson of the mischief. Anthony Morse, Williams’s brother, was terrified about the strange goings-on at his brother’s house. There were scores of bricks coming down the fireplace. Items were there and disappeared, probably purloined by the boy. William reported the occurrences and Caleb, who had knowledge of astrology, was tried as a witch and finally acquitted. The court looked for another guilty person “of being instigated by the devil,” and, for some reason, selected Elizabeth Morse as the culprit. William at the time was 65, Elizabeth some years older. On May 20, 1680, she was indicted as “having familiarity with the Devil contrary to the peace of our sovereign lord the Kind” and the laws of God. In spite of her protesting her complete innocence, she was found guilty and sentenced on May 27. “Elizabeth Morse, you are to go from hence to the place from which you came and thence to the place of execution and there to be hanged by the neck, till you be dead, and the Lord have mercy on your soul.” Although she was granted a reprieve

by Governor Bradstreet, the local court did not agree, the case was reopened and testimony was again heard in the general court through May 1681. Despite William’s petitions pleading his wife’s innocence, the hysterical allegations of 17 Newbury residents prevailed. Reading the list of reasons today quickly strikes the 21st century mind as dredging up every petty annoyance, every grudge of neighborhood misunderstanding the townspeople could think of from sick cows to being snubbed in public. Governor Bradstreet prevailed and Morse was reprieved but sentenced to house for the rest of her life. William died in 1686. Elizabeth 1690. There is no information on the fate of the nefarious grandson.

Wendy West, a historian, believes Morse’s ordeal was a prelude to the events that would unfold 12 years later in Salem. An interesting connection discovered by West is that Ann Carr Putnam would have seen firsthand the events leading up to the trial. She also would have known that concerns were raised about the use of spectral evidence, when such evidence was witnessed by one person. When the Salem trial rolled around, the accusers relied of spectral evidence as well, but this time they saw the supernatural sights in pairs of more. On of the chief accusers was Ann Putnam, Jr. Jane Roland welcomes comments and suggestions gcr770@aol.com

First, I would like to thank Marge Ann Jameson, editor and publisher of Cedar Street Times for reviving the CarmelVoice which has been dormant for awhile.

There is much happening in Carmel that hasn’t been reported, and we’ll do our best to keep you apprised of the goings on in every facet of Carmel life.

• Condolences are in order for two friends whom I lost recently. Ed Dickinson, who worked for me when I owned KRML and was someone I worked with during our early broadcast years. We both spun records on Wharf #2 at KMBY, whose transmitter tower was located there. It made it rough when

Ed Dickinson and me onWharf #2 in front of the old radio transmitter the seas were acting up and the pilings shook. The needle scooted across the record creating a weird sound. Dickinson played the “oldies” to the delight of many on the Central Coast.

Another friend with whom I attended college and with whom I played a few rounds of golf was Larry Segovia of Monterey. Segovia’s Bar is a popular spot on Lighthouse Ave., in New Monterey. Sports enthusiasts and those in the know (me included) feel Larry was perhaps the “best” all-around athlete to call this area his home. He was a great running back, a good basketball player, a super baseball player (he played Triple-A nall with Maury Wills), and wasn’t bad at golf. He ws no physical giant either ... stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. The late Danny Holman is another of the great local athletes who was recognized for his sports ability.

• That was quite a bash my radio partner, Dave Marzetti and his wife Teri threw a few nights ago to celebrate Dave’s birthday. It was golf for two foursomes at Del Monte, and then dinner and libations at Rich Pepe’s Café Napoli in the Ravenite Room. Never ending food and wine, and the best of everything.

Those in attendance included Craig Ling (owner of the Sanbar and Grill), Gary Cursio and spouse, Steve King, Neal Larkin and wife Mary, the McNallys (Steve, manager of the Hyatt, Monterey), Dave Anderson and his girlfriend from Ireland, Mairaed Finucane, Mark Marotta and spouse, Sam Jepsen and Mimi, George Kazal, and of course, Rich and Sandra Pepe. It’s become a yearly ritual, and the gang can’t wait til Dave’s next birthday.

• Incidentally, Rich, along with Sandra and their two boys, Christian and Gian, just returned from a trip to Italy and Sicily.

• I like this idea proposed by Richard Kreitman (my Carmel neighbor), and a group of concerned citizens of Carmel. It’s a suggestion for improving governance in Carmel-By-the-Sea. It was proposed because of the recent problems in Carmel. It’s a suggestion for each of the five City Counil members to take responsibility for one area of city operations. Activities can be divided into five areas: Public Safety; Public Works; Building and Planning; Administration; and Culture/Events/Marketing.

If such a move were taken it would improve local confidence in council members “doing the right thing.” The drawback can be worked out...that is, a council person trying to give professiona advice in an area unfamiliar to them.

I like the fact that there are those in our community who want to know more, particulrly when it comes to “checks and balances.” Running amok is not the answer. Kudos to Kreitman and his group. We’ll keep you posted.

• What happened to Carmel’s uniqueness? We were an artist colony with the best who handled a brush, poets and writers live here; motion picture stars resided here because there was natural beauty everywhere...no hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and Hollywood. Yes, we were unique. And now, someone conjures up an idea for parking meters on ocean Avenue. The say it’s an experiment. Does this solve the parking problem? I think it creates a problem. But it does raise revenues. Ah, so that’s it...it’s all about money. Do we ever have enough?

Again, what happened to Carmel’s uniqueness?

See you next week.

Okay, One More Chance To Get It Right, P.G.

Opinion

S. Birch

Vote for Bernal: We Need a Change Editor: I'm guessing that most, if not all, of the people supporting the current Sheriff, including elected officials, have never worked for him (or with him). Nor have they been under his control in any way (as were the people of Pacific Grove). Supporters tout his education and experience. No mention of his tactics. Evidently they have never disagreed with him or they would know that his strong suit is actually retaliation.

He and his cohort (who still stands at his side) were the architects of the dismantling of Pacific Grove. Now, I understand, they have done the same to the Sheriff's Department.

I don't know Steve Bernal but I am supporting him because our deputies support him and they deserve respect and a decent place to work. We know that's not happening now. Let's give a fair, caring, person of integrity and honesty a chance. So many law enforcement professionals endorse Steve (including four former sheriffs) and his fellow employees have confidence in him. Let's take their word for it. If they support Steve's plan and think he is right for the residents and the department, I stand with them. With the qualities that Steve possesses, his leadership skills will become evident.

Please vote for Steve Bernal. Our County deserves a positive change.

Marabee Boone Pacific Grove

Thank goodness for local newspapers...

Editor: There is a saying that it doesn’t matter what they say about you in the newspaper as long as they spell your name right. Well, not only did Monday’s front page article in the Monterey Herald spell my name wrong, but they mixed up my picture with that of another candidate – Bob Pacelli. Now I know Bob, and he can be a nice guy, but no way do we look alike. Thank goodness for local newspaper people who know the actual people and issues.

The problem, I was told, is that the paper is laid out in Chico, but the article also made other errors that need to be corrected. It indicates that four candidates are trying to unseat two others. Not true. We have three open Council seats and six people are running for those seats. We are asking the people of Pacific Grove to pick the three people who they think will do the best job for the city, not trying to knock each other off. In fact most of us are working together to have an election party the night of November 4.

They also took at face value the comments of some who wailed about the terrible shape the city is in. Now, I don’t know how many other cities’ budgets those people looked at, but earlier this year I went to budget session for every city on the Peninsula, and I can say that we are in better shape than many others.

This year our city will take in $17.6 million in revenue and spend approximately $17.5 million. I don’t think you can be considered insolvent if you can pay your bills and set aside money in savings. It is true that because of inflation and escalating prices, over time our expenses will rise to meet our current revenue. But that phrase “current revenue” is important because it means we have time to find ways to decrease some of our expenses and increase our revenue.

That means the next city council will have to be creative and stay on top of spending. We are already doing some things such as looking at outsourcing some services and negotiating with our employees to keep salaries the same while enhancing their benefits. This latter is important because it will allow employees to pay less out of their own pocket for those benefits while not costing the city more in PERS expenses.

Over the past several years there has been a great deal of discussion about whether the City Council should have put the Citizen's Initiative on the ballot or not. A judge decided that the City need not put it on the ballot because of the legal problems it would create for the city. The intent of the initiative proponents was commendable - to help the City reduce its pension costs. While I want that also, I don’t want to do something that will get us sued by our employees, their union, our retirees, and CALPERS itself.

I don’t know what happened at the Council meetings where this pension plan was adopted 2002. Just about any first year college student with a calculator and basic knowledge of math could have told them that increasing benefits would lead to increased cost, though apparently the Council didn’t have one of those students on it at the time.

While true that we owe a great deal of money to CalPERS, there are few cities in California that don’t, and that is why we need statewide pension reform. At the same time, however, we as a city need to be willing to push back at PERS to put them on notice that they cannot just give their members more benefits without consulting the cities that pay for those benefits. We have hired an independent actuary to advise us on costs so that we will be equipped to take steps locally to push back at CalPERS in the future. While we cannot walk away from the pensions that have been promised and earned by current and former employees due to past service, we can take steps to change pension accrual rates in the future. I am dedicated to PERS reform – longrange and legal PERS reform.

Measure A Strengthens School District Editor: I support measure A. Property values are supported by a strong school district.

Measure A strengthens the Pacific Grove School District. Measure A is also a winner for the kids of P.G. Ron Fenstermaker Pacific Grove

I am stunned that I have to say this, but after failing to do the right thing the first time, Pacific Grove is going to have to vote for a second time on whether we want to properly fund our schools. A second time is as many elections? Who in their right mind would have thought that we would be here again trying to figure out if we want to provide for our children’s education?

As many of you know, I am just about the biggest supporter of the Measure A Bond. When it comes to providing a quality education for the next generation I am of the mindset that it should never be a question of whether they deserve it or not. I don’t want to spend my old age being cared for by an uneducated electorate that never learned how to use technology and to embrace the future.

We have all seen the signs that say “No on Measure A, No New Taxes.”

These signs are written by the lowest form of political life, those preying on your fears of paying more. Not once do they bother to tell you that Measure A is replacing an expired tax. Never mind the fact that by voting against the “new taxes” that you will be voting against your children’s future. Those of you who own a home understand that your children need to have a properly funded and supported school to be the best that they can in life. For those of you who rent in the area, we all know that you didn’t choose to be here because of the less than affordable rent rates. I would wager that you are most likely here for the schools.

WHAT Measure A IS…

The technology bond that will replace a city wide tax that has expired.

Your taxes will not increase significantly more than what you were paying a year ago.

It is able to be borrowed in smaller increments thereby drastically reducing the interest that we will have to pay. How much? you ask. Ninety percent of the money will pay for technology with 10 percent for interest. A traditional bond would be closer to 50 percent for technology with 50 percent for interest over the life of the bond.

Funds will be strictly controlled by an independent Citizen Oversight Committee that will review and audit each expenditure.

WHY do we need it…

Our kids need to graduate from school knowing how to use the latest and greatest of the technology world. If your child is competing for a job against another graduate and the decision comes down to who is fully trained and who would have to be caught up, who do you think the employer would pick?

Pacific Grove now trails behind Monterey, Carmel, and Salinas in providing students with up to date technology. Really? Do you want your kids to fall behind Carmel? CARMEL!?!

WHAT will it cost me…

Everyone’s second question but no doubt the biggest tool of the anti education league of No on A touter. Easy answer is that for every $100,000 of your home value you will have to pay $18 per year. So if your house is valued at $250,000, you will pay $45 annually. $500,000 home value will be $90 per year. Quite a bargain for a decent education.

WHAT Measure A IS NOT…

Funds cannot to be used for administrator and teacher salaries. Funds will not be used for facility improvements. That means no new buildings, no remodels, no new tile, not even a single stroke of paint on a wall will be paid for by Measure A. Contrary to the claims of the alarmists, Measure A will not provide every student an iPad. Funds will expand the computer labs and increase availability of technology to be used in each classroom.

A special note to the woman who wrote a letter to the editor last week which she closed with “I CAN NOT AFFORD to support Measure A.” You mention that you pay rent in PG and are concerned that your rent will go up if Measure A passes. I must ask you, did your landlord lower your rent when the last school tax levy expired? I find it doubtful, and the fact that you are willing to let your three children’s education suffer while they are in the prime learning time of their lives is truly sad indeed.

Our personal values and commitment to our children’s education should not be allowed to fall by the wayside just so we can save a few bucks.

Imagine if that were the mindset around here. How about if we just get rid of the computers altogether? I mean, what are the odds that your kid will end up using a computer in the future, right? As my grandfather always said, “Work smarter, not harder.”

The next step is up to you Mr. and Mrs. Pacific Grove. Step up to the polls and do the right thing for your child’s future. Help to pass Measure A and get the students of all public schools in Pacific Grove the tools they need to do the job that we ask them to do.

Opinion A Wired Solution Would be Better for our Children’s Health

R Cardwell

My wife and I have lived in Pacific Grove for 44 years!

We bought our home, raised our family, and achieved career goals while being committed to remain in our “Home Town.”

Editor: Like many Pagrovians, I am a strong supporter of education and technological literacy. The latter includes knowledge of the substantial medical research published in refereed journals demonstrating wireless technology causes cancerous tumors and other cell disruption, especially in children.

I encourage the voting public, school administrators and teachers, PG public officials and especially parents to view the following which provides valuable, straightforward information on the serious health hazard, especially to children, of wireless device radiation and to vote No on Measure A to prevent further jeopardizing our Pacific Grove students’ health: http://www.greenmedinfo.com/bl...

Please also review the recent wireless health concerns publicly expressed by 54 leading medical researchers from universities and research institutes in 18 countries http://www.prlog.org/12346518-...

If you have the time and interest to review hundreds of studies demonstrating cell disruption from wireless tech (cellphones, Laptops, tablets, Smart Meter for PG&E gas and electric, Smart Meters or CalAm water, cell towers, bluetooth, Google Glass and other wearables, routers, wired classrooms and offices, etc) view here: http://www. bioinitiative.org/r...

For an in depth critical review of wireless health harm research view here: http:// www.bioinitiative.org/p...

Protect the health of our children. Vote No on Measure A, but consider favorably any future wired alternatives.

Council Needs to See that Pacific Grove has Three Business Districts

2014

To Brian Brooks: In your printed campaign material and candidate's statement in the Cedar Street Times you say, “Working closely with our three business districts to increase exposure...”

While I appreciate you recognizing that the Sunset area is one of our business districts to be supported there is one that everyone on the City Council and Chamber seems to be able to ignore completely. The Central Ave. business district has long been the “red-headed stepchild” of Pacific Grove, even though a visitors center was recently added at the entrance to Pacific Grove on Central and Eardley.

After managing a business on Central Ave. for more than 18 years, I can tell you that this area has many successful businesses that need to be included in the mindset of the Pacific Grove City Council and the candidates running for said council. There are many issues decided or trying to be decided that affect this area of town and we need a person on the Council who recognizes this, My vote is not decided but I can say that I would seriously consider a candidate who realizes that the Pacific Grove business district does NOT begin with the downtown area.

Apples of Autumn at Wilder Ranch

Waking Saturday morning to rainy streets and the slow drip-drip-splash of bedroom ceiling leaks suggested autumn was finally making an appearance. It was only a cameo, but was enough to point me northward to Wilder Ranch state historic park.

The park and its many acres flank Highway One a few miles north of Santa Cruz. On Saturday, the old ranch compound hosted an autumn festival that admirably showcased bygone skills and the surrounding country’s seasonal bounty.

The event was fun, engaging and remarkably cell phone-free.

Many of the ranch’s historic structures and systems are still functional. On Saturday, a full crew of park volunteers in period dress welcomed festival goers to 19th century California farm life. As a country fiddler and guitarist played a lively reel, a veteran caller led line dancing. The clop of hooves and jingle of harnesses marked the approach of a passenger wagon pulled by matched draft horses.

In one farm building, volunteers showed kids how to make cornstalk dolls and decorative pumpkins. Kids could also turn the crank to create fresh, farm-made pumpkin ice cream. What this lacked in consistency, it made up for in tastiness.

A nearby barn revealed on its ground floor three work rooms for separate tasks.

The largest room featured belt-driven machine tools powered by an ingenious water wheel and piping array. By simply turning a valve, the docent set in motion a wood turning lathe, a drill press, a grinder and several other interconnected machines.

Rube Goldberg would have approved.

In a carbon-blackened smithy next door, two other volunteers pushed iron rods into a fiery mound of charcoal. Once the metal was red-hot, they withdrew the rods and beat them on an anvil into horseshoes and other farm implements.

A third work room held an antique cider press into which volunteers poured apple slices. Kids were invited to crank the press and watch the “oozings” collect beneath a cheese cloth. As festival goers far outnumbered oozings, the resulting cider could only be sampled in small cups, but what an elixir. It was the very essence of apple.

Apples themselves held court in a tent village that had been set up on the grassy verge of an orchard. Beneath the tents were several long tables arranged in a square. Inside the square, 20 or more apple growers busily slivered up and plated their favorites. Outside the square, the apple tasters formed a long, leisurely centipede that shuffled in a counter-clockwise direction from one station to the next.

Each taster was issued a toothpick, a pencil and a score sheet and invited to choose three favorites. Upon completing the circuit, tasters could affix little shiny hearts, stars and dots onto a master chart, thus marking their choices. This sounds easier than it proved, as the tasting featured no fewer than 69 varieties of apples.

Thankfully, the apple slivers were very thin. The protocol was to pierce a sliver with one’s toothpick, then carefully free it with the fingers, being mindful not to touch the piercing end of the toothpick.

Then the fingers would deposit the sliver into the mouth, and the clean toothpick could be readied for the next stab.

It was a curious system, but it seemed to work. It also suited the pace of the whole endeavor, which was decidedly 19th century. Each crisp, juicy, fragrant, chewy, savory apple sliver deserved its own full measure of consideration. That’s 69 separate savorings. In addition, each apple name had to be processed, if only momentarily.

I recognized a few names from various markets, but not the Pinova, Cornish Aromatic, Belle de Boskoop, Simirenko Reinette, Wickson Crab, or Ashmead’s Kernel. Likewise new to me were the Mutsu, Banana Flower, Arkansas Black,

Tom Stevens

Otter Views Pineapple Cox and the Brushy Mountain Limbertwig. Have you ever tasted a Suntan? How about an Ida Red, a Christmas Pink or a Calville Blanc? Neither had I. When I finally shuffled out of the line, my gold star went to an apple named Wyken, and I forget the other two. Remarkably, all 69 varieties were grown organically within a few miles of Wilder Ranch. May one or more of them show up in your local market soon.

If you were still hungry after the cider and apple tastings, you could buy popcorn, corn on the cob, fresh baked cookies, and slices of apple pie and pumpkin pie baked in the big cast iron oven in the Wilder Ranch’s Victorian

main house. Those who fancied doughnuts could form a line and try to bite them off a wildly bobbing string. The hostess gave contestants 30 seconds to eat all the doughnuts they could snag.

In keeping with the autumnal theme, antic scare crows guarded long rows of pumpkins grown on the ranch. And with that, may you have a festive and cell phone-free Halloween.

Say “Boo!” to the Flu on Halloween!

Say “Boo!” to the Flu is a partnership between the Visiting Nurse Associations of America (VNAA) and The Clorox Company to educate parents on the importance of flu vaccination and other prevention methods to help keep their families healthier during cold and flu season. On October 31 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 5 Lower Ragsdale Drive in Monterey, nurses from CCVNA will administer seasonal flu vaccinations, while also providing parents with important flu prevention information.

Vaccination is the first step in flu prevention. However, even after getting vaccinated, families should also use simple steps to help prevent the spread of the flu virus – and other potentially harmful bacteria and viruses – in their homes: · Sing & Scrub: Make sure kids wash their hands the right way. They should wash frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice). · Do the Elbow Cough: Teach kids to cough into elbows, not hands where they are more likely to spread bacteria and viruses through touch. · Disinfect Germ Hot Spots: Use a disinfectant approved to kill cold and flu viruses, like Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes, to wipe the surfaces kids touch most frequently— like doorknobs, light switches, faucets or toys. · Follow Good Health Guidelines: Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep to help boost your body’s ability to fight the effects of colds and the flu.

Who Needs a California Licensed Professional Fiduciary?

Susan L. Alexander, Esq. (J.D., M.P.A., LL.M. - Taxation)

Spotlight on Seniors

When working with clients to develop their estate plans, their single biggest concern tends to be the selection of someone trustworthy enough to take over financial and/or healthcare decision-making in the event that the client becomes incapacitated, and also to administer the client’s estate after death. There are a surprising number of people who have children and do not want to put them in a position of decisionmaking, or are without children and do not want to burden a friend with the very serious, time-consuming job of serving as a decision maker. In 2007, consumers scored a victory with the passage of Professional Fiduciaries Act, which provides for the creation of non-family member Licensed Professional Fiduciaries who may serve as private Trustees, Agents under Durable Powers of Attorney and Healthcare Visit www.SayBooToTheFlu.com for more information.

Powers of Attorney, as well as court-appointed Conservators and Guardians. These professionals are highly regulated by the State of California, and when acting within a court setting, a judge carefully scrutinizes their work. Even in a private, noncourt setting, a Licensed Professional Fiduciary is under the scrutiny of the client’s attorney and the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau, the latter of which can bring an enforcement action against a licensee who violates the law and can impose fines, sanctions, and license suspensions or revocations as well as refer suspected criminal cases for prosecution. In short, Licensed Professional Fiduciaries are well-trained and well-regulated professionals whom the State deems competent to handle the intimate affairs of others. Using a Licensed Professional Fiduciary in lieu of a Trust Officer at a bank may result in significant savings to the client as the former are usually amenable to working on an hourly fee basis instead of using the flat “percentage-ofassets-under-management” computation that banks tend to use. This, in turn, may result in significantly more assets being passed on to one’s beneficiaries rather than being eaten up by fiduciary fees.

Our community welcomes a new Licensed Professional Fiduciary with a tremendous resume of talent. In 1984, Robert Hulet graduated as one of only two University of Arizona students to ever earn four business degrees in four years [B.S. in Accounting, B.S. in Finance, B.S. in Management Information Systems, B.S. in General Business (with emphasis in marketing)] and earn the magna cum laude distinction to boot. He retired in 2010 as the President of a multi-million dollar, multi-location company with a long-term record of successful project management. Since then, Robert has served as a consultant to privately owned businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada, utilizing a dynamic system of business tools that allows him to quickly dissect a company and get to the heart of the issues that impedes a company from reaching its full potential.

In seeking his fiduciary license, Robert desires to give back to the community by offering services to those who are the most vulnerable among us. He and his wife, Cindy, are long-time Pacific Grove residents who are now empty nesters after having raised five children. Robert states that his ability to make solid professional decisions Traditional Cataract surgery is performed with a blade.... derives not just from his business acumen, but also from his and Cindy’s management of a blended family and years of setting boundaries with children to encourage their success. This assortment of talents affords Robert the ability to make sound fiduciary judgments when it comes to trust administration, probate proceedings, and decision-making under Powers of Attorney, especially when children and/or a family business are concerned. As a Licensed Professional Fiduciary, Robert clearly has the skills necessary to carry out clients’ wishes, and in doing so fairly and imparAn estimated 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. tially, may help to preserve family harmony that can otherwise suffer when a parent ASSISTED with REFRACTIVE The number of Americans Alzheimer’s has moreincapacitated than doubled becomes or dies.

Sunday Brunch to Benefit Homeless Women

Times • Page 15

St. Mary’s Holiday Bazaar 12th and Central, Pacific Grove

By Wanda Sue Parrott The 2nd Annual Pancake Brunch benefitting homeless women of the Monterey Peninsula will be Sun., Nov. 16, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Elks Lodge, 150 Mar Vista Dr., Monterey. The program will include special guest speakers who include members of the local homeless community, and a silent auction. Tickets are $20.

The first pancake brunch fundraiser in 2013 served 400 people and raised more than $36,000; nearly $33,000 went to assist with harm reduction for homeless women on the Monterey Peninsula.

The One Starfish safe parking pilot program, under direction of Dr. Tia Sukin, founder, Michael Fechter and Rosemarie Axton, was a principal beneficiary. It is now open and offering safe overnight parking at Community Church in Carmel Valley; at least four other houses of worship have also signed up to participate.

The sponsor of the pancake brunch is The Friends of Homeless Women, fundraising branch of The Fund for Homeless Women, which meets the fourth Wednesday of each month, 10 a.m., at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Pacific Grove.

The purpose of the meetings, which are open to the community, is education about local resources for and about homeless women. Participants collaborate and share information about services available to the growing community of homeless women, which ranges from teens with babies to 80-something grandmothers living in cars.

Pacific Grove city councilmen Rudy Fischer and Ken Cuneo compiled a spring 2014 report entitled “A Homeless Challenge—The search for a long-term solution” which cites statistics based on the 2013 Monterey County Homeless Census and Survey Reports: There an estimated 2,590 homeless people in total; 1,244 on the Peninsula.

Some 79 percent grew up here, lived here, worked here. Reasons for homelessness include: 41 percent—loss of home; 26 percent—loss of job; 14 percent—divorce.

Health problems and family crises made up the balance.

Twenty-eight percent of Monterey’s homeless are women.

Councilmen Fischer and Cuneo conducted a matching fund campaign in which Pacific Grove would donate $1 per resident to a fund to help the homeless, provided three other Peninsula cities joined PG. To date, Sand City, Monterey and Carmel are part of the matching-grant coalition. Seaside will consider joining at its mid-year budget session.

Timothy Barrett, candidate for Monterey City Council, organized the first public forum to address homessness in 2012 and is a supporter of the I-HELP (Shelter Outreach) program that provides a meal and shelter to homeless men at thirty local churches and synagogues. An I-HELP program for women is on the drawing board for the next round of fundraising.

Marian Penn, Kathy Whilden and Fr. Michael Reid are co-organizers of the Fund for Homeless Women and the Friends of Homeless Women. Linda Henderson is chairperson of the brunch, planning sessions for which are held on Mondays at Christian Church of Pacific Grove.

For information about volunteering, donating silent auction items, or ordering tickets, call 831-372-7432.

Wanda Sue Parrott is author of The Boondoggler’s Bible—How to Fight Like City Hall to Win! (Great Spirit Publishing).

Proceeds from the book’s sale will benefit the Safe Starfish and I-HELP for homeless women programs. www.amykitchenerfdn. org or amykitchenerfdn@hotmail.com

PGMS Cross Country ends first season

By Chris Evans

The Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS) Men's and Women's Cross Country (CC) teams competed in the Mission Trails Junior Athletic League championship race at Carmel Middle School on October 29, wrapping up the PGMS CC program's successful first year. The competitive league included eight teams, with over 60 participants in the women's races and 100 in the men's. The race took place on Carmel Middle School's challenging 2 mile course.

The women's team took 4th place in the league, despite injuries that prevented the team captain Lilly Silveira and Kaitlyn Vanlone from competing. The top five finishers for the ladies included: Alana Hendon, Taylor Biondi, Christine Lee, Noor Benny, and Sophia Chang.

The men's team secured second place behind Gavilan View Middle School and ahead of Carmel Middle School, led by team captain Jacob Alt, who finished second overall in the league with a time of 11:56. Leo Lauritzen took individual honors by finishing 3rd in the 7th grade men's division. The top five finishers for the men included: Jacob Alt, Leo Lauritzen, Josh Moore, Tom Jameson, and Julius Gutierrez.

Breakers Fifth at MBL Championships

With only three losses this season, the Pacific Grove girls’ golf team thought that they had a good chance of advancing to the CCS Championships. However, after shooting a combined 613 at the Monterey Bay League Championships, the Breakers fell short of their goal and ended up finishing fifth overall. [10-27-14] Ashley Aguilera was the high scorer for the Breakers, shooting a 107. Aguilera, a junior, was also named to the Gabilan Division all second team for her strong performances throughout the season.

“I’m extremely proud of Ashley, both as a player and as a person. She is a great friend to everyone on the team, and sets a great example for athleticism and grit. I love her competitive nature and her ability to scramble on the golf course. We are so happy that Ashley made second all league for the Monterey Bay League. She worked hard all season, played every match, and deserves the honor,” head coach Marcia Waitt said.

Stevenson took first place in the team competition with a combined score of 495.

They were followed up by Santa Catalina, who took second with a 524, and Salinas, who took third with a 527.

Individually, the best score of the day came from Chloe Corriveau of Santa Catalina with a 75. Coco Chai, also from Santa Catalina took second with an 82. The third place finisher was Camryn Hall from Monte Vista Christian, who shot an 89.

The Breakers will now have to wait until next season to try to make it to the CCS as a team. Coach Waitt said that “the season was a complete success to us in Pacific Grove, as most of our players expected a re-building season after the loss of Lauren Molin and Dana Getreu. Now we are building a team that is more even in playing ability.” She added, “This team has the ability to go far. Even though we finished 10-3 for the regular season, our post season play wasn’t quite as strong as I had hoped. I look forward to working with this team into the future.”

Marshawn Lynch

By Keenan Selbicky

Despite poor childhood circumstances and later personal challenges, Lynch Lynch became an influential running back for the Seattle Seahawks. Few NFL running backs have shown Lynch’s determination for success both on and off the field.

This determination is what led Lynch to gain the nickname “Beast Mode” while playing for the Seahawks.

Lynch was born on April 22, 1986, in Oakland, California on 43rd and Dover Street located in North Oakland, which was known to be a rough neighborhood.

Lynch was one of four children being raised by a single mother, Delisia Lynch, who worked three jobs to support the family and keep food on the table. Lynch’s mother nurtured and encouraged her children to participate in sports year round, making them attend each other’s games to keep them off the streets, and away from the gang violence that surrounded them in their everyday life.

During this time, Lynch was noticeably quick and muscular while playing youth league football, and he had a bona fide love for the sport, at which time his coach nicknamed him “Man Child.” Lynch entered high school at Oakland Technical. He led his high school to the “Silver Bowl” championship game, which was only the second time in the school’s history they had made it to a championship game bowl.

This game is where college recruiters approached Lynch about playing for UC Berkeley. He accepted the invitation. Some would argue that although Lynch was a great football player, he did not have the academics to keep up with UC requirements, along with being given a full scholarship. Although Lynch may not have had the strong academics in high school, denying him the opportunity to excel in college football would have placed him at a much higher risk for continuing the cycle of poverty with no outlet for achieving a higher level of success. Lynch did prove himself while playing for UC Berkeley, and he was named the PAC 10 Offensive player of the year in 2006. He had scored a total of 35 touchdowns while playing for UC. His outstanding college performance gave him a chance to enter the NFL in 2007 for the Buffalo Bills which he pondered because he was not used to snow or being away from his family.

During Lynch’s first year with the pros, he played 13 games as a rookie and gained 1,115 yards with seven touchdowns. Although Lynch had played well that year for the Buffalo Bills, the team had missed the playoffs by one game. This same year post season was also Lynch’s first bout with the law, when he was arrested after a car he was in was searched and found to contain a backpack with a 9-mm handgun. Lynch pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon and received three years’ probation along with 80 hours of community service. Lynch had also been suspended for the first three games of the 2009 NFL season.

Critics who were against Lynch felt that the NFL player was given a “slap on the wrist” because many believed he should have received jail time for his offense as well as given a harsher NFL penalty, as he was not required to pay any monetary fines for his conviction of carrying a concealed weapon. The NFL decision to give Lynch only a three-game suspension was based on the fact he had no prior offenses at that time. Although Lynch hoped to regain his focus on football, he unfortunately did not because by the time he was back on the field, Lynch had been replaced. Because Lynch was forced to sit out, being replaced by a second string, he finished the overall season with a poor record. His football relationship with the Buffalo Bills had ended, creating an opening for a new start, and a new team. This was an important metamorphosis for Lynch’s career.

In 2011, Lynch was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, where he is known for “Making his Mark.” In his first game with the Seahawks, he rushed for 131 yards on nineteen carries. Lynch led the Seahawks to their first playoff game season which ended in Chicago. Although the season was over, Lynch rushed for 1,204 yards, averaging 10.5 yards per carry. He was noted as the third best running back of the 2011 season. There was an argument. Even though he was Seattle’s best running back, many believed he was very overpaid for his first year playing with the Seahawks because of his terrible season on the Bills. Because of his quick speed and his “Beast Mode,” he proved that his earnings were well-deserved.

In conclusion, Lynch is an example of a hero because of his rough beginning of life, growing up in poverty with a single parent household. Lynch is a clear example that even if one grew up in a rough neighborhood, with determination and the drive to succeed anybody can, despite race, poverty and growing up with a single parent, can succeed. Although many critics challenged his academics and run-ins with the law, Lynch came out ahead with his head held high as well as being one of the highest paid running backs during his NFL career.

Sports & Leisure The Breakers Spoil Gonzales’ Senior Night JV sets the stage with a 32-20 win

Golf Tips Ben Alexander PGA PGA Teaching Professional, Pacific Grove Golf Links, Bayonet Golf Course PGA Teacher Of The Year, No Cal PGA 831-277-9001 www.benalexandergolf.com

By JonCharron “We executed, we did work, came out one hundred percent right away, and just put them away,” senior linebacker Keenan Selbicky said about his teams’ first half performance at Gonzales on Friday night [10-24-14].

On a night that was celebrating Gonzales High’s seniors, the Breakers did a little celebrating of their own. The Breakers were relentless in the first half, putting up 42 points and 266-yards of total offense. The defense did their part too, by holding the Spartans to only 68-yards of total offense and 0 points. Without needing to attempt a single pass, the Breakers ran the ball 35 times for 345-yards on their way to a 48-8 victory.

On the opening kick-off, Jason Leach set the Breakers up with good field position by returning the kick to the Spartan 48-yard line. It only took the Breaker offense five plays and less than two minutes to score the games’ first touchdown, a 10-yard run by John Buttrey.

The speed of Jason Leach was seen first-hand by the Gonzales defenders, when on the Breakers next possession, he took the hand-off from Anthony Coppla and raced 55-yards down the right sideline to put the Breakers up 14-0. After a Sam Fenstermaker interception gave the ball back to the Breakers at their own 43-yard line, Leach finished off the 57-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown run.

The Breakers wouldn’t stop there though, with 7:53 left in the second quarter, Leach scored his third rushing touchdown of the half. This time from 16-yards out, to give the Breakers a 28-0 lead. After another quick three and out, the Spartans attempted a punt from their own 10-yard line. However the punt only went 11-yards, giving the Breakers the ball at the Spartan 21-yard line. Four plays later, Uche Ebu would make them pay by rumbling into the end zone from 8-yards out. The Breakers would go into the half being up 42-0 after Noah Cryns joined the party and scored on a 34-yard run.

To start the third quarter, the Breakers would cap off a 53-yard drive with another touchdown. This time, a hard fought 4-yard run by Jorge Cabrera. After the PAT was blocked, the Breakers would go up 48-0.

With 2:33 left in the game, the Spartans would end the Breakers eight quarter scoreless streak on an 81-yard touchdown pass.

“We still have a lot to learn,” Keenan Selbicky said after his teams’ performance on the field, “but so far we’re doing great.”

The Breakers (6-1, 4-0) will play their next game at home against King City (3-4, 2-2) on Friday, October 31, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.

Tempo is one of the toughest parts of the golf game for players to master.

What I hear a lot is the PGA Tour players swing so smoothly with good balance, and they also practice tempo.

Many weekend players who have tempo that is too fast need to try this drill.

Next time you are on the driving range grab your 7 iron, take some practice swings and as you swing the club back on the back swing, say out loud “Johnny,” on the follow through say the name “Miller”... who is of course the famous PGA tour player Johnny Miller, now an NBC golf commentator.

Saying this out loud will help you feel your arm speed on your back swing and arm speed on your follow through.

Tax Return Schedules

Taking Control of Your Health Care

Travis H. Long, CPA

Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.

Travis on Taxes

Planning for Each Generation

Two weeks ago we discussed a general overview of the Form 1040 - a personal income tax return. The 1040 can be thought of as a two-page summary of your taxes in a nutshell. (I should mention also there are two other shorter forms that could be filed instead: a 1040A and a 1040EZ. These are for simpler returns and have income limits and other restrictions. In practice, however, anyone using tax software does not really have to decide which form to use and the software will generally optimize as appropriate. For our discussion we will focus on the 1040.)

The details for many of the items on the Form 1040 are actually determined on subsequent Schedules and Forms. Schedules are labeled with letters of the alphabet and additional forms are generally four digit numbers. Schedules are generally more major topical areas. For instance, Schedule C - Profit or Loss from Business, which is a summary of all the activity of a sole proprietorship. It may in turn have subsequent forms that support it. Forms are often more narrowly focused and would generally support other schedules or forms. For instance Form 4572 Depreciation, could support the calculation of depreciation expense for a business on Schedule C, a rental property on Schedule E, a farm on Schedule F, etc. I have not counted them all, but I have read the IRS has over 800 forms and schedules. The reality is that most people are covered by 30 or 40 of those 800!

Let's start at the beginning of the alphabet - Schedule A. (I am sure this saddens you, but we will not be going through all 800 in this series of articles, but we will hit on a number of the most common ones!) Schedule A is for itemized deductions. You probably hear lots of people justify expenses by tossing around the phrase, "it's deductible." However, just because something may be deductible, does not mean it will benefit you. This is easily seen with Schedule A. Schedule A covers a host of "expenses" that most people have that our tax code has graced as good behavior and therefore allows a deduction for it. Medical expenses, state and local taxes, real estate taxes, mortgage interest, charitable deductions, unreimbursed employee business expenses, my favorite - tax preparation fees, investment expenses, etc.

Since Congress realized that everyone had some of this, and it would be a pain for people to track it, they decided to allow as an option a "standard deduction" for everyone in lieu of tracking and itemizing all those deductions. The standard deduction was created to generally cover what many people would have on the average anyway. For 2014 this standard deduction is $6,200 if you file as Single or Married Filing Separate, $12,400 if you file Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widow(er), and $9,100 if you are filing Head of Household status. If you believe you would have more than this, then you would itemize the deductions using Schedule A. Mortgage interest and real estate taxes are the two areas that push most Californians into the itemizing zone. In other words, if you do not own a home, there is a good chance you won't be itemizing. This is not always true: sometimes people don't own a home, but make a lot of money and pay a lot of deductible state income taxes which would push them over the standard deduction, or maybe they work in sales jobs where they have lots of unreimbursed employee business expenses, or have major unreimbursed medical expenditures, or are perhaps like you dear reader, and have a heart of gold giving away buckets of money to charitable organizations each year! Or it could be a combination of things - paid some income taxes, have a stingy boss that won't reimburse, and maybe you have a heart of bronze.

Next week we will discuss more specifically the deductions on Schedule A and how they can come out looking a little thin after running the Schedule A gauntlet.

A key aspect of estate planning is to plan for health care decisions in the event of incapacity. Below is an overview of the most common health care planning documents.

Advance Health Care Directive

An Advance Health Care Directive (“AHCD”) has two main features. First, it allows you to name an agent to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Commonly referred to as a “health care power of attorney,” it is essential to name an agent and at least one or two alternates in the event that the first agent is for any reason unable or unwilling to act. In selecting a health care agent, it is important to consider whether a particular candidate will be able to make difficult decisions in a crisis, will be available and responsive, will be a strong advocate on your behalf, and will be able to carry out your wishes even if they differ from the agent’s personal values.

Second, an AHCD allows you to instruct your agent on how to make your health care decisions. Often referred to as a “Living Will,” this feature allows you to give guidelines such as the use and extent of artificial life support, measures to alleviate pain even if such measures might hasten your death, decisions regarding organ donation, and decisions related to the disposition of your remains.

The statutory California AHCD form allows you to give general guidelines whereas other versions of an AHCD, such as the “Five Wishes” form, allow you to go into great detail with regard to health care instructions.

An AHCD should also list the name and contact information of your primary physician in the event that the health care providers need your medical records or need to consult with your doctor regarding your care.

In order to be effective, an AHCD in California must either be notarized or witnessed. Furthermore, if the AHCD is executed in a skilled nursing facility, an additional signature by a “patient advocate” or “ombudsman” is required.

POLST Form

A POLST (“Physicians Order for Life Sustaining Treatment”) form is an optional additional document that you should review with your doctor. It allows you to create even more specific instructions than the AHCD and is used for specific purposes such as: • Whether or not to administer CPR in the event that you have no pulse and are not breathing; • Whether you desire “full treatment,” “selective treatment,” or “comfort-focused treatment” in the event that you have a pulse and/or are breathing; • Whether to administer feeding tubes on a long-term basis, a trial basis, or not at all.

In order for a POLST form to be effective, it must be signed by a licensed physician.

The purpose of requiring a physician’s signature is two-fold. First, it forces you to have a discussion about the ramifications of these various choices with a medical professional. Second, by having a physician’s signature, health care professionals are required to follow the order and are less likely to hesitate when executing difficult decisions.

HIPAA Waiver

HIPAA, the “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,” protects medical privacy by restricting health care professionals from releasing your health information.

While the concept of medical privacy is generally a good idea, it can become a problem if your agents are unable to access key information about your health and therefore

Harry and Alice Go to Paris to Start Their Cruise Bernard Furman

Marriage Can Be Funny Harry and Alice Wilson are at the Regina Hotel in Paris, where they are staying for a few days before embarking on their river cruise on the Seine.

Alice: I still can’t believe we’re in Paris, Harry! Pinch me so I know it’s true.

Harry: It has to be true, because I can see the Louvre from our window.

A: Which makes the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory our neighbors!

H: It’s a great museum, but overcrowded with those damn tourists.

A: We’re tourists too, lollipop.

H: I forgot.

A: I had a great window-shopping spree on the Rue St. Honore this morning, and the shops all look as beautiful as when we visited more than 30 years ago.

H: I was checking out some stores too, especially places for food….

A: Naturally.

H: …and I can tell you one big difference since we were last here.

A: What’s that?

H: The prices! Last time, they were dirt cheap. Since then, inflation and the decline of the dollar against the Euro have caused everything to go sky high.

A: I remember that we bought Gucci bags for every female friend and relative, and heavy silk ties for the men, because they cost us next to nothing.

H: (Singing) Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end….

A: Aren’t you glad now that we’re going on the cruise? Once we board the ship we won’t have to worry about how much things cost because everything is included in the price of the cruise, which we bought for less than retail.

H: It would have been a much bigger bargain if you hadn’t been bidding against me.

Send press releases to editor@ cedarstreetimes .com

A: Don’t go there, Harry! You were bidding against me, as well. It was a mistake by both of us, and I don’t want to hear any more about it.

H: Okay, okay.

A: If I do, you’ll be spending the seven nights of our cruise sleeping under the bed in our cabin, instead of on top of it.

H: You’re right, I apologize.

Legal Notices

A: Apology accepted.

H: Merci beaucoup.

A: De rien.

H: That just about exhausts our combined French vocabulary.

A: Other than the prices, how does Paris compare to the last time we saw it?

H: This is still by far the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen. They even have sculptures under the bridges!

A: I love the L’Oreangerie Museum, with its magnificent Monet paintings.

H: The Pompidou Museum leaves me cold. With all those weird large, multi-colored exterior pipes, it’s too modernistic for my taste.

A: Having lunch in the restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower was fun.

H: For the spectacular views, not the food. I know it’s sacrilegious to say so, but I’ve never cared for French cuisine, either in the U.S. or here.

A: You’ve always enjoyed Italian the most.

H: That’s true, although I must admit that the produce and cheeses here are not only the finest I’ve ever had in both quality and taste, but are superbly showcased. Just looking in the windows made my mouth water.

A: Did you go to Fauchon?

H: I did, and I wasn’t disappointed. Their fruits and vegetables are presented like works of art. There’s no other place like it.

A: I’ll bet the prices were almost what you’d have to pay for a work of art.

H: You’re not far off. In part because of that I was a looker, not a buyer; and I had an unusual experience while there.

A: What was that?

H: You know how I’ve always said that the Parisian women are the prettiest and sexiest in Europe, maybe the world?

A: You surely have, many, many times — ad nauseam, I might add.

H: Well, today while at Fauchon, which was crowded as always, I saw the back side of a young woman with the sexiest rear end and the most magnificent legs I’ve ever seen in my life. In fact, they were so attractive I had to see if she was as beautiful in front as in back; and since the place was too packed for me to get in position to do that in the store, I followed her out.

A: You’re becoming a stalker in your old age?

H: Only temporarily, just long enough to be able to walk past her and turn around; and I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. She was gorgeous!

A: Having heard your little story, I’ve just changed my mind.

H: About what?

A: While on the cruise, you’ll be sleeping under the bed instead of on top of it!

Calligraphy Guild will make ‘Wind Songs’ at November meeting

Public is welcome

Sea Scribes Monterey Bay Calligraphy Guild will meet November 6 in the Art Room on Level A at the Park Lane Residence in Monterey. Official meeting time is 7-9 p.m. You may arrive at 6:30 for group practice with calligraphy skills(optional, but highly recommended especially for beginners and intermediate calligraphers).The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. with brief announcements and highlights about the upcoming events and meeting programs. After announcements, then the monthly program will be presented by Sea Scribes members for approximately one hour.

Sea Scribes Program for November: “Wind Songs” for Trees and Gifts Presented by MarthaElin Mountain. Sea Scribes will learn how to make “wind songs” on papers to tie onto a favorite tree or to enclose in an envelope as a gift for someone. Wind Songs are made from a sturdy paper and include a special message, poem, free verse, blessing, image, or greeting. When decorated with bits of decorative paper, painted scraps, stamping, etc. they convey your own personal style and intention. When tied to your favorite tree, the breeze will carry your words or message into the environment. When tucked into an envelope, the recipient might use it as a bookmark. MarthaElin has been fashioning Wind Songs on paper for several years, giving them as gifts and table favors. She will provide the paper, already cut and scored, along with a lot of pieces and scraps of decorative papers to use for your personal touch. She will also provide examples of short verses and greetings to get your ideas going. Please bring: • gluestick or Elmer’s, and a small glue paintbrush, if you wish • a paper or plastic mat on which to work • any of your own bits-scraps of decorative papers, sparkles, and small images to cut out • favorite pen and ink for lettering in small spaces (Pigmas work well.)

• any words or thoughts you might like to calligraph onto your Wind Song paper • a hole punch, if you have one.

Refreshments reflecting our transition into the Fall season will be available to enjoy throughout the program time.

The meeting will close between 8:30-9 p.m. and the meeting is free and open to the public.

We meet monthly, the first Thursday of each month. 7 p.m.-9 p.m. in the Art Room, Level A at Park Lane Residence, 200 Glenwood Circle, Monterey, CA 93940 For more information and for the guild publicity coordinator to return your call, please contact: 831-224-3276 and leave a voice mail message or a text message with your contact info. We will call you back within 24 hours.

A Ghost Tale of Haunted Pacific Grove

Randy Reinstedt has spent years “accidentally” collecting ghost stories about Pacific Grove and other locales on the Monterey Peninsula. He didn’t start out to do it - it just happened as he looked into the history of the area, and so far “ghost stories” fill some five books.

Here is the tale of a house on Central Avenue: Pacific Grove’s Central Avenue is one of the main entrances into town and boasts many delightful Victorians. One of these dwellings, situated on a corner only a block from the bay, has an interesting history and is said to be haunted by a troubled spirit.

A woman who had lived in the structure told of a number of strange happenings, including sounds that seemed to come from within the walls, “as if something were inside trying to get out.” In attempting to describe the odd noises, she spoke of them as being “unhappy sounds.”

Also unhappy was one of the lady’s teenaged daughters, who complained of being pushed down a flight of stairs by an “unseen thing.” On separate occasions, two people who visited the house suddenly indicated they felt uncomfortable, “as if something terrible had happened” where they were standing. In both cases these feelings were experienced in the downstairs living room, near the corner of a brick fireplace.

Apparently it wasn’t only people who experienced peculiar feelings: the family’s two dogs were similarly “spooked” by something they sensed in the house (or walls). The dogs also reacted negatively to the spot near the fireplace where the visitors had experienced the uncomfortable feelings. In closing, the lady said that the entire house seemed to be filled with tension and her family was much happier after they moved from the dwelling.

Randy Reinstedt’s book, as well as others in the series, are available at the Bookworks, 667 Lighthouse Ave, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 Phone:(831) 372-2242
