Lori Mannel to leave the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History Lori Mannel is stepping down from her position as the Executive Director of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.

Mannel made this decision in support of her husband accepting a new job in Houston, Texas. Mannel and her family will be leaving Monterey at the end of December.

Chris Hasegawa, the President of the Museum Board of Directors, states,” Lori often describes Natural History as ‘Knowing a place as one would know a good friend.’

Today, our community is losing a good friend and a visionary leader. Lori has once again brought our 132 year-old institution to the forefront of the natural history movement extending the Museum past the building and into our local communities, woodlands, fields, and beaches. We are looking forward to honoring and continuing Lori’s work by identifying a leader who will continue to advance the Museum as a living field guide of the California Central Coast and a regional resource.”

SPCA Rescues Two Emaciated Dogs

On November 5 the SPCA for Monterey County rescued two severely emaciated dogs from a house in north Salinas.

The dogs, both hound mixes, were very underweight. The female, named Chicken, weighed just 10.9 pounds when her healthy weight should be 15-20 lbs. The male, named Cowboy, weighted just 16.9 lbs, when he should weigh 20-25 pounds.

Both dogs also suffered from flea infestations and were understandably very hungry.

SPCA Humane Investigations officers are still investigating and will likely submit today’s case to the Monterey County Office of the District Attorney for their consideration of multiple counts of animal abuse under the California State Penal Code.

To report animal cruelty and neglect, please contact the SPCA at 831-373-2631.

All calls are confidential. To donate to help animals like these, please call the SPCA or donate online at www.SPCAmc.org/rescue. You can also donate items to rescued pets by visiting our Amazon Wish List: www.spcamc.org/amazon.

Photography Exhibit

The “Along the Way” exhibit of photographs by Susan Theodore is on display through the end of November at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula, 490 Aguajito Road in Carmel (624-7404).

Executive Director, the Museum earned re-accreditation with the American Alliance of Museums; a distinction awarded to fewer than 5 percent of all American Museums.

The Museum’s collection care and management was significantly enhanced with the digitization of the Museum’s collection catalog and improved collection storage.

Last year, the Museum galleries were visited by over 77,000 people and the City of Pacific Grove approved an architectural permit for a new Butterfly Pavilion.

More than 13,000 people participated in the Museum’s cultural and science education programs including class field trips, teacher professional development programs, Science Saturdays, Night Owl programming, and citizen science programs. The Museum’s role in providing education and interpretation at Pacific Grove’s Monarch Grove Sanctuary has expanded to include citizen science monarch monitoring throughout Monterey County both educating students in field research techniques and contributing to monarch research at Cal Poly University and the University of Georgia. Strategic partnerships also include the Museum becoming a Gateway Partner of the Bureau of Land Management in support of education and interpretation for the California Coastal National Monument.

The Museum also partners with the NOAA Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to be the LiMPETS Coordinator for this region. The University of California Cooperative Education has selected the Museum as their provider of the California Naturalist Certification Program for Monterey and Santa Clara Counties.

Mannel will be working with the Museum Board of

Lori Mannel, when she first took the reins at the Museum in 2008 Directors in seeking a successor who will continue to lead the Museum of Natural History to inspire wonder, discovery, and stewardship of our natural world.

Jeanette Kihs, Development Director at the Museum, will step in to fill her shoes in the interim.

A new Marketing Communications Coordinator, Patrick Whitehurst, recenty was hired.

Calling it “a solid team in place, with big thanks to Lori,” a museum board member said that will give the board time to find a leader who will take the Museum forward in implementing the strategic plans and programs that Lori and the Board of Directors have already put in place.

It was the third seat that was up for grabs, and newcomer Bill Peake appears to have come out on top of the remaining candidates with 1,818 votes (20.91 percent). Behind him were former postmaster Shannon Cardwell at 1,330 votes (15.20 percent), newcomer Brian Brooks at 1,022 votes (11.75 percent), and repeat candidate Robert Pacelli at 907 votes (10.43 percent).

There will be another update likely on Friday, November 7 but though numbers may change, the results will probably not be any different.

When the vote is certified late in the month, the cuncul will be seated. The swearing-in is scheduled for December 3.

Measure A, the school bond measure, is at 58.85 percent positive, 2,589 votes with 100 percent of the votes counted. The bond measure included Pebble Beach voters who are part of the Pacific Grove Unified School District. A total of 4,399 votes were cast in that election.

“The passage of Measure A is a victory for the current and future students of the Pacific Grove Unified School District and will keep us on the cutting edge of technology,” said Tony Sollecito, President of the Pacific Grove Unitied School District Board of Trustee.

An audit of needed uses for the funds to be drawn on the tech bond has been filed. The first use may be to purchase more computers for students to use for April testing. Currently, students must take the tests in shifts which results in a three-day interruption when only a little more than three hours are needed provided there were enough computers.

The tech committee will meet to devise a plan.

The bond oversight committee will likely be the same on which oversees Measure D expenditures.

Details are available on the school website at pgusd.org.

While figures will not be available for a while to tell us which precincts voted how in Pacific Grove, county-wide figures show that 26,173 people voted by mail (15.79 percent). Mail ballots turned in at the various precincts totalled 2,395 (1.45 percent). People who went to the polling places in person to vote totalled 14,925 or 9.01 percent. Total voter turnout in Monterey County was only 26.24 percent of registered voters (165,731).

Nationwide figures, like our own, are still to be finalized, but projections show that Maine had the best voter turnout at 59.3 percent while Texas had the lowest at 28.5 percent. California sits somewhere in the

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts

A Renaissance Man

There is an art gallery on Fountain Avenue in Pacific Grove, up from The Victorian Corner Restaurant; Hauk Fine Arts, which has become a fixture in our “last home town.” The owner/proprietor, is a story into himself. He loves art and has been able to turn this passion into a profession. He is Steve Hauk, whom most of you know. He and Nancy have lived in Pacific Grove for many years.

He must have been born with a little gypsy in his soul. Born and raised in St. Louis, he attended the University of Missouri with rather dismal results. After a horrible semester, he hitchhiked to Los Angeles where he took classes at Los Angeles City College. He wrote in the school newspaper that Muhammad Ali would lose his fight with Archie Moore. Ali showed up at the newspaper office the next day, shouting and blustering. Steve stood by his (wrong) prediction and covered the fight, won by Ali. “He was actually a nice guy and we had a good conversation”, Steve said. “Later, Aldous Huxley spoke at the college. I covered for The Daily Club. The interview was depressing; Huxley was coming to the end. I learned great minds don’t last forever.”

He threw many hats in several rings. One chapeau was acting (at which he didn’t make a dime). To earn some money he was a wrapper at Ralph’s Super Market on Sunset where the stars shopped, often late at night, and developed a routine called ”crazy wrap”. During one of the “performances” Ozzie Nelson’s slippery chicken flew through the plate glass window. Nelson was amused but not enough to offer a contract.

There were many adventures in Steve’s life, accidental brushes with convicts, frequent hitchhiking trips across country. On one, he was picked up by a man who had just escaped from a New Mexico State Penitentiary, a murderer who had killed a man with his bare hands and picked the unknowing Steve up as a cover; they were run down on the Oklahoma-Missouri border. The convict apologized to Steve as he was taken away in cuffs. On that same trip, a day later in Ohio, he got a ride from a man just released from the Ohio State Penitentiary. He, too, had served a sentence for murder. He reminded Steve of Lenny in Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” powerful and gentle. The relationship ended with an all night drive and conversation, the convict wondering if his family would accept him. His name was Lee. Finally he married Nancy Burtch, his high school sweetheart, and settled in Los Angeles where they both worked. A baby girl they named Amy was born during these early days, and Anne would follow a few years later. His newspaper career started in Southern California and ultimately brought him and his family to the Monterey Peninsula, which is when we met.

John, my husband and I were involved on the board of Children’s Experimental Theater and had started a fund-raising group. We were given the barn at the Mission Ranch for a party at which we met the new theater critic. As time progressed we got to know him and, eventually, Nancy very well as we all were so involved in the art community. When our older daughter, Ellen, was at York, she and fellow students wrote a play which was accepted in the state wide competition (eventually it won the regional prize). Against his own policy (he never covered student plays) Steve came and wrote a nice review with a picture for the Monterey Herald.

By then I had joined a book club, of which I will speak in a later column. Anne Germain was the society editor and we became very good friends for a while. Poor Anne, she simply didn’t know how to be loved by people. Steve was then writing the golf column and challenged Anne to a game. As she didn’t play, the views of the match written from the perspective of each reporter were wry and funny. A picture depicted tall, lanky Anne making an effort to swing a club.

Steve left the Herald during one of the shakeups. The Monterey Peninsula Museum used his talents. However, his goal was play-writing and he thought he came close when one was accepted by the Squaw Valley writers’ conference, but it died. He wrote two documentary films plays for the museum which were narrated by Jack Lemon and won national awards. Both have been telecast on public television.

When I started managing the SPCA Benefit Shop in 1986, Steve was opening his art gallery. Our friendship was refueled and we saw a great deal of him, Nancy, and Piper, their wonderful Cairn terrier, who died a couple of years ago. His love of animals is contagious and I was thrilled to find that AFRP for which I started their Treasure Shop is one of his favorite groups — there was a Piper Fund established and many people donated in the name of the little staunch dog we loved so well. The gallery has been a success, featuring California artists, early and contemporary. His taste is discriminating, his humor divine. He continues to write plays, which are outstanding and, I have no doubt, that it won’t be long before we are glued to the television watching The Tony Awards knowing that Steve will win for the best play of the year.

I wrote this column six years ago. Since that time Steve and Nancy continue to run the wonderful art gallery. He has written on Steinbeck, for the Steinbeck Review, and is working on a book of stories based on Steinbeck’s life called “Almost True Stories from a Writer’s Life”. To see some of the stories about the writer for a collection go to Steinbecknow.com. I had the pleasure of reading The Elevator which could certainly stand alone in the New Yorker. His plays are exceptional and I know that he will, indeed, win a Tony one day.

Why is it that whenever there is a problem in Carmel, we have to go out of ton to find a solution? Case in point is the announcement that the trustees of the Carmel Unified School District are hiring an outside entity to find a new school superintendent, Don’t we have the personnel with the proper expertise or credentials to find a successor?

It never fails for Carmel to delve into outside “sol-called” experts to give us the right answer or person for the problem. For example: We needed advertising to exploit our town in the media, but outside agencies get the call when we have some of the top advertising folks anywhere. Take the Wecker Group for instance, They are one of the best in their profession, There are many other talented groups that can respond to a call.

Leadership Associates of La Quinta have been hired to find a successor who will replace Marvin Biasotti. He’s been with Carmel for over 14 years.

It’d a knock to the qualified, living here, who should be interviewed for the job.

Carl and the Monterey Peninsula are oozing with talent in every profession known to man. Could be you or a neighbor. Keep it local.

Halloween is usually a “big” deal at the Village Corner Restaurant in Carmel. The staff plays the part to the delight of all their patrons with their colorful costumes and this year the compliments keep coming. In the picture shown (left to right) it’s manager Christ Tanner, waitresses Vicki Tabib and Candi Gomes, and waiter Miquel Sanchez.

The costumes are featured once a year, but the food is always great year round at Village Corner Their outdoor patio is the ta of the town. Check it out...it’s one of the oldest dining places in town. They are also dog friendly.

Michael Hemp, Cannery Row Historian, appeared on the Shagbag Show at 9 a.m. on KION Radio 1460 AM this past Saturday. Michael was promoting his two current books, Cannery Row, the History of John Steinbeck’s Old Ocean View Avenue, and his novel, End of Lies. It’s about Nadjik Pheromone, bio chemist and lie detector.

Michael;s been around Cannery Row since 1979 and knows Cannery Row and its history better than anyone, The photos in his Cannery Row book feature photos from the Pat Hathaway Historical Collection. They’re all classic photos.

Both literary creations by Michael should be in your collction of gret books, particularly those of you who want to know the “real” history of Cannery Row. Both books would make great holiday gifts. Our congratulations to Michael for his writing skills and his knowledge of Cannery Row. Steinbeck would be proud!

Congratulation to the San Francisco giants for their World Series victory.

This makes three world titles in five years – amazing, They now have to be considered a dynasty, it makes two of my golfing buddies happy … that is Frank Russo and John Aliotti who have razzed me all baseball season because Im an Oakland A’s fan and so are Bobby Morris and Dave Marzetti. It’s tough when you’re outnumbered but when the A’s faded, I did root for the Nor Cal team – the Giants.

Art connoisseurs who frequent the many fine galleries in Carmel are raving about the great art on display at the Renoir Art Gallery on 6th Street in Carmel, between Dolores ad Lincoln Streets.

Jim Seregos, Warren Yowell, and Maria Bland executive art consultants host 19th, 20th, and 21st Century fine art at Renoir Galleries.

Artists represented include: the first American Impressionist painter Mark Fisher (1841-1923), Luigi Loir, Eduard Cortes, Eugene Garin, James Fetherolf, and Emmanuel and Pierre Renoir, the great-grandsons of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Report on Mexican situation In response to my (Editor Brown’s) request, I have received from Congressman William Kent a copy of his speech on the Mexican fiasco. Kent writes: “It speaks well that your readers find such concern.”

After recounting his loyalty to the President and restating his desire to help the nation push forward, Kent addressed himself to the nation’s restraint on Mexico. “I would be more than willing to give the last drop of my blood to protect this nation against foreign intervention, even though I stand firmly for international peace. Yet my duty is to save this country from outside aggression. … Many of those we oppose are bandits and are not rightful representatives of foreign powers.

“Villa is such a man. He is a buffoon and a braggart who has cost the life of more than one American. Is it right and just that our response is but to call for an apology?

We must put a stop to these murders of our fellow American citizens. I say that Villa at least deserves a spanking. I intend to vote for armed intervention in Mexico. And to all those who vote otherwise, I say: ‘Shame On You, Cowards!’

“Mr. Editor, Pacific Grove has helped send to Congress a representative who holds enlightened views. Thank you and each and every one!”2 Exhibit at the schools – ATTEND! There was a splendid exhibit of the works of pupils of grammar and high schools laid out on Friday morning. This display is under supervision of a very efficient corps of teachers. It will be on display for at least a week.

In the high school, the displays are of brass and copper works by the boys and woodwork by the girls. Tables. Book holders, desk blotter holders, and kitchen utensil holders are included. All are very nicely done!

Specimens of calligraphy (penmanship) that display remarkable beauty are featured at the grammar school. Painted landscapes, pottery, and paper flowers are also included.3 In the domestic science department, the girls worked hard at preparing a Friday refreshments board in order to show off their homemaking skills. Salads, meats, breads, rolls, and beverages were included.

The exhibits are all perfect. You are encouraged to stop by and see the excellent progress our Pacific Grove students are making.

Make woo? Not at dawn!

Evidently believing that all is fair in love and war, 19 years old Frank Turner, a Stockton milkman, decided to make his morning rounds earlier than usual, departing at 4 am rather than the usual 6 am. Turner intended, along the way, to stop in at the home of the pretty 19 years old Miss Rosalie Hoag Unknown to Turner, Miss Hoag had, at that time, a visitor. Turner says that Miss Hoag was entertaining the 19 years old Mr. Smythe from Fair Oaks.

Saying that he had been in love with Miss Hoag for several years, the milkman complained to the sheriff … who just happened to be the father of Miss Hoag. After pursuit, the sheriff apprehended Smythe. And brought him in. Held behind bars for the moment, a Stockton Justice of the Peace plans to try the case.

What will be the outcome? Who can say? Only one thing is certain. Miss Hoag may wish to consider changing her schedule.

2 Francisco Villa was one of the foremost leaders of the Mexican Revolution … which lasted until 1920. Although the United States failed to declare war, largely because of the efforts of Woodrow Wilson, General John Pershing’s troops were dispatched to (unsuccessfully) attempt capture of Villa. Villa’s massive “army” eventually dwindled to fewer than 200 soldiers. Villa was assassinated in 1920.

Pending Home Sales Reverse Five-Month Decline In September

By Kevin Stone, Monterey County Association of Realtors®

California pending home sales rose higher in September to post the first increase in six months, reversing the sales drop usually observed between August and September.

Meanwhile, equity home sales made up nine in 10 home sales for the fourth straight month, according to C.A.R. California pending home sales rose in September, with the Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI)* climbing 2.6 percent from 99.8 in August to 102.4 in September, based on signed contracts. The increase was significantly above the average August-toSeptember month-to-month change of -3 percent observed in the past six years.

Pending sales dipped 0.5 percent from the 102.9 index recorded in September 2013. The year-to-year drop was the smallest since January 2013, when pending sales increased 2.9 percent on a yearly basis. Pending home sales are forward-looking indicators of future home sales activity, providing information on the future direction of the market.

The share of equity sales – or non-distressed property sales – remained virtually unchanged in September. Equity sales made up 90.9 percent of all sales in September, essentially flat from the 91 percent recorded in August. Equity sales have been more than 80 percent of total sales since July 2013 and have risen to or above 90 percent for the fourth straight month. Equity sales made up 85.7 percent of sales in September 2013.

The combined share of all distressed property sales continued to stabilize in September and was essentially unchanged from 9 percent in August to 9.1 percent in September. Distressed sales were down nearly 40 percent from a year ago, when the share was 14.3 percent.

Fourteen of the 41 reporting counties showed a month-to-month decrease in the share of distressed sales, with 19 of the counties recording in the single-digits, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Orange, San Benito, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties — all of which registered a share of five percent or less.

Of the distressed properties, the share of short sales remained at its lowest level since February 2008, holding steady at 4.6 percent in September, unchanged from August. September’s figure was less than half the 9.3 percent recorded in September 2013.

The share of REO sales dipped in September to 3.9 percent from 4 percent in August and from 4.5 percent in September 2013.

Search for Burglary/Tresspasser Results in School ‘Soft Lockdown’ Suspect still at large in PG or Pebble Beach

A police search for a burglary suspect resulted in a “soft lockdown” of Pacific Grove High School and Forest Grove Elementary on Thurs., Nov. 6.

At 4:30 a.m., poice received a call of an intruder inside a residence in the 600 block of Acord Ct. The suspect apparently entered through an unlocked door, had some food, went into a childrens’ room and fed them bananas, took a shower and left. It was the sound of the shower that alerted the parents who said he fled when confronted.

The suspect is Jason Rutt, 29, who is on probation from Monterey County Jail for burglary.

His family lives in Pacific Grove and family members are cooperating with police.

Officers found two more residences in the area that Rutt entered, probably through unlocked garage doors. He stole items from one of the garages.

Police and search dogs combed the area, including the wooded area between Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach. The high school and the elementary school were put on “soft lock- Jacon Rutt in a 2012 booking down,” where students are locked in after they photo arrive for classes, though it is thought thatRrutt when the opposite direction.

Police ask for public asistance in locating Rutt. He is described as a 29 year-old white male, 5’7” tall, 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Honoring Veterans and Others

100 Years Since the Beginning of World War I

This year, 2014, we commemorate the beginning of the First World War, though America was not to enter the conflict until April 6, 1917.

We are all living with the results of that war and those since. The “war to end all wars” did not. Triggered by an act of terrorism, the war was fueled by past alliances and old grudges. It affected countries across almost all the world as they fell like dominoes under its influence. Nothing has changed, it seems.

We will stand next Tuesday at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month to honor the 10 million military who died in that war and the 10 million more who died, though not on the battlefields. And how many more since, in how many conflicts? We called the day Armistice Day for decades, until another world war came and went and we changed the name to Veterans Day or Remembrance Day to encompass those dead as well. In Australia and New Zealand, they honor

their World War I dead on Anzac Day in April, to coincide with the Battle of Gallipoli. Other countries remember in other ways and on other days, but we observe a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. to remember the dead and a second moment to honor the living left behind.

We remember, but there is no one alive now who fought in that war. Our “memories” come second- or third-hand: from books, films, articles on the Internet, or in the case of a select few from some personal connection.

The following stories are two personal memories: Neil Jameson's memories of his grandfather, who fought in the British Royal Navy at Gallipoli, and mine about my grandmother, a war bride from France who came here looking for a better way of life, which was to elude her. Without that world war, we ourselves might not be here... and we certainly would not be who we are.

Gallipoli

Remembering a War Bride

By Neil Jameson On a blustery day, icy in February a few years after my grandfather’s death, I got my first view of the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.

We were on a familiarization trip as guests of the Turkish tourist board. Our guide, along with the tour managers and hotel representatives, was trying hard to show us a good time and entice us to bring groups back to that country which is so amazingly steeped in history.

The 12 Americans, tour escorts like I was, sat huddled on the bus and listened distractedly to the guide’s accounting of the 8-month-long World War I land and sea battle that had taken place at Gallipoli. The Allies were fighting to keep the sea lane of the Dardanelles open for Russia; the Turks wanted it closed. America would not enter the war for another two years.

There were 252,000 casualties on the Allied side and nearly that many on the Turkish one. It was a disastrous, losing battle for the Allies (Britain, France, and Russia, along with a number of other countries). But it was the victorious beginning of the modern Turkish state. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the country’s “father,” rose to prominence after that battle while Winston Churchill had a lot of explaining to do. But then, Ataturk was on the ground, sleeping in the mud alongside his men, while Churchill was sitting in England, directing the battle from an office chair.

Today, Australia and New Zealand honor the day of the landing of Gallipoli, April 25.

I knew a little about it, not because I’d seen the Mel Gibson movie but because my quiet, cheerful, small, wiry grandfather fought there.

We reached the top of the mountain, a desolate, treeless place, especially on such a frigid, wet, miserable day. There was a memorial of some sort and a small museum; and our guide encouraged us to get out and see what it had to offer. Only two of us did: I and one other. Inside the leaky, unheated building we looked at the maps and old photos and bits and pieces from the battlefield – buckles, buttons, empty shells and unexploded ordnance, even a gruesome boot with the skeleton of a foot inside, blown off some poor Turkish soldier almost a century before.

We slogged back to the bus to find our fellow guides talking about basketball and which cable provider was the best value – or even napping.

As the bus rumbled to life and headed back down the mountain, the defroster working overtime, our guide keyed the mike. “I guess this is not such an interesting place for Americans. But my grandfather was here and I have heard about it all my life.” No one spoke. “Maybe you do not understand how important this place is for Turks.” Again, silence. “So I will take this off the list for future tours.” He sounded genuinely disappointed, maybe even peeved.

I spoke up. “I was interested. My grandfather was here, too.” I pointed to the Dardanelle Straits, rushing to the sea below us, dotted with ghostly battleships in m imagination. “He was on one of those ships”.

And away we went, the two of us, trading stories and talking about our grandfathers as the bus wound its way down the hill.

My Cornish grandfather hadn’t talked about the battle “all my life” the way our Turkish guide’s had. But I knew it was important to him. My mother’s middle name, after all, was “Dardanella.” And my uncle, her brother, was given the name of one of the World War I British Navy vessels as a middle name. It was not the ship my grandpa was on, but I never asked what the significance was.

He’d worked in the tin mines in Cornwall, handling explosives, so when the war effort needed his skills, he became a powder monkey for the British Navy.

He manned the artillery guns on the ship.

But after the war, things were not so good in England and my grandfather, along with three brothers and a cousin, their wives and families all emigrated en masse to America a few years after the war.

Grandpa wound up in Placerville, then Prunedale, then Watsonville, where I was born 15 years later. He raised sheep and goats and later had a fertilizer company, but nothing to do with explosives or artillery. He didn’t talk a lot about the war, or maybe I didn’t know the questions to ask.

My soft-spoken, resourceful grandfather, survivor of the Battle of Gallipoli, died at the age of 98 and all the rest of the story died with him.

By Marge Ann Jameson My paternal grandparents were married in France in 1918.

I have a photo of them together, captioned “Louise et Joseph, Vix 1918.” It is the only one I’ve ever seen of my grandfather. He gazes calmly at the camera, wearing his WWI American Army uniform.

She looks up shyly and a bit fearfully. She is about to embark on a trans-Atlantic voyage to begin a new life in America. There are family memories of her bravely waving a handkerchief as the ship sailed. Does she wonder if it was really the thing to do?

I have a class portrait of her among some 30 French schoolchildren, showing her the only one smiling. In another, posing with her five older brothers, she is obviously their darling. A photo taken in winter in Alabama shows Pauline Louise Til Wimpee, my grandmother, her tired. In a late snapshot, she with her soldier husband, Joseph. The photo holds my younger cousin and I am was taken at Vix, France, in 1918. reaching for her, wearing those soft leather baby shoes we wore in the 1950s. She looks lovingly at the two babies.

She was to die shortly after that picture was taken, in her 50s, of Hodgkin’s disease.

I never got to ask her about her life. All my uncles, my father and two of my three aunts are gone, too. The truth is that likely none of them would have told me about her early life and her marriage, least of all my father. It would have been too painful. You see, my grandfather was, to put it nicely, a scoundrel, his service to his country notwithstanding.

My mother, however, waited with her for my father to come home from Korea and had many long talks with my grandmother. My mother’s memories are more impressions than facts. But she knows nothing of my grandmother’s early life, either.

Some 6000 young women came to America from France as war brides. Many, like my grandmother, were married in France, in England, in other European countries.

My grandmother came through Ellis Island on a transport hired by the government to ferry troops, and later brides. My grandmother was one among 430 passengers, a good number of them young war brides, their ages and eventual American addresses listed on the ship’s manifest. She was 17.

I don’t know who was there to see her off in Brest, France. Was he even there to greet her when she got off the boat?

I know that she was sent from the French countryside where she was raised to Paris, to an orphanage, to be safe from the war. Was that where she met my grandfather? Did the girls there talk about how some 10 million men were killed in the war, and another 10 million wounded or maimed for life, and how few their prospects were for a happy marriage? Did she see my grandfather as an escape or did she genuinely love him?

She gave him six children. I know that he was a philanderer and that he left her frequently, coming home only to get her pregnant with the next child, according to family lore. They all have French names, so maybe he wasn’t even around for their births and had nothing to do with their naming.

How was she treated when she got to America? She told my mother that, during World War II, the neighbors turned her in to the FBI because of her accent. They didn’t understand that it was a French accent; they only knew she talked funny. My mother said that my grandfather was embarassed by her accent, so she did not teach any of her children to speak her native language.

There was no support for her financially, either. She took in laundry and ironing.

My father had five paper routes to help support the family in the Depression years.

He delivered chickens. His brother repaired radios. Would she have been better off in France? My father wondered that, years later in an offhand conversation though he never talked with his own children about what she had been through.

But my mother said that my grandmother was “fiercely patriotic.” She raised her children to love this country and to serve it. My oldest uncle was in the Air Force, my father a Marine. One of my aunts was a WAC, and my father said she was his inspiration to join the Marines. His younger brother joined the Marines too, after the war.

My grandfather died in the 1960s in a veterans’ hospital in Mobile, AL. With the advent of the Internet, I can doubtless find out much more about him, and perhaps someday I will. But they will be dry facts and will tell me very little about what was going through his mind. I will likely never know what he, and my grandmother, really felt for each other, nothing about their hopes and fears. Nothing about what the war was like for them.

On Veterans’ Day, I honor her alongside all the veterans, living and dead. Her six children and their children (me and my cousins) would not be here without her having made that decision to marry a U.S. soldier and come to the United States.

On Nov. 11 Pacific Grove to commemorate Veterans Day

On Tuesday, the 11th of November, at 10:30 in the morning we will have a local Veterans Day Celebration at the flag pole next to the Point Pinos Lighthouse. We have the Assistant Commandant of DLI - Ginger Wallace - as a guest speaker, and will have a presentation of the colors by the Air Force color guard. There will also be both a civilian and military chaplain and several veterans young and old. We will sing a few patriotic songs and honor all those who have served in the military. Though there will other celebrations in Monterey County, since this will be at the flag pole by our own Lighthouse - with the ocean in the background - it should be spectacular.

Veterans Transition Center receives $20,000 grant

A $20,000 grant to provide direct hands-on support and outreach services to homeless veterans has been awarded to the Veterans Transition Center (VTC) of Monterey County by the Harden Foundation.

“The Harden Foundation has been a tremendous supporter of Veterans, and of our VTC mission over the years – this grant is highly significant to our success in serving these deserving Patriots,” said Terry Bare, VTC executive director.

Last year more than 1500 veterans received help from VTC, including housing for more than 110 in VTC-restored duplexes on the former Fort Ord. VTC has the highest rating in the nation given

by Department of Veterans Affairs: 1 year after completing VTC’s Coming Home program, 93 percent of the graduates are

clean and sober, have permanent housing, and reliable employment, primarily in Monterey County.

“We are one of only three programs of this kind in the nation that accept veteran’s families,” said Bare. “Community support, such as this important Harden Foundation grant, is vital to our success.”

The program has assisted more than 15,000 veterans since it opened in 1998.

VTC now has veterans from all eras in the program, but increasingly supports a younger group and more females, with families.

“Many Veterans come back from combat and downrange deployments as changed people,” Bare said. “VTC helps them overcome barriers, become selfsufficient, assimilate back into society, and realize a new future.”

Page 12 • CEDAR STREET

“Keepers of our Culture?” What’s that?

More than anything, it’s a mission, an imperative, a calling. When you’re a “keeper of our culture,” you document your lives and pass on your wisdom to future generations.

And, it’s the title of a brand-new column in the Cedar Street Times. My associate, Joyce Krieg, and I are on a mission—and we invite you to join us as we explore genealogy and writing memoir.

There was a time—not so very long ago— when only statesmen and celebrities wrote their memoirs and autobiographies. But now, it appeals to everyone who wants to be remembered as more than just a name on the back of a photograph.

Benefits of Writing Our Stories I’ve published several memoirs for clients and been invited to many family book release parties, which were the most joyous of any I’ve attended. When I learned that writing one’s stories benefits grandchildren, I began to write my stories for my grandchildren, Zack and Grace.

Bruce Feiler wrote a fascinating article in the NY Times1 in which he said, “The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative.”

In other words, the children who know the most about their family history—the traditions, the set-backs and successes of parents and grandparents—had the best odds of bouncing back from hard times.

How fortunate the children are whose grandparents and great-grandparents left a record of their lives: a manuscript, a scrapbook, a published book, an audio recording or DVD. Another article in the NY

Times2 led me to the Guided Autobiography method developed by Dr. James Birren, a pioneer in the field of gerontology.

Dr. Birren notes more benefits of writing our life stories and sharing them with others: • Increased self-knowledge by telling your story and listening to the stories of others, • Awareness and appreciation of having lived through so much,

• Greater comfort with other people by sharing experiences and struggles, and, • Fewer regrets as to our life choices and “the road not traveled.”

Joyce and I signed up with the Birren Center for Autobiographical Studies to become certified to teach his method, in part by writing our own memoirs. We will share our stories throughout the weeks ahead.

We encourage you to write yours for

“Researching and writing the history of my father’s and mother’s families taught me that we are linked, through inheritance, with all that surrounds us. By hearing the stories of others and facing up to my own, I not only acquired increased self-knowledge, I learned that we are everything that surrounds us—and I found myself part of an extended family I came to love.” Bill Minor, jazz historian and performer.

Whale Saved from Line Entanglement The Whale Entanglement Team (WET) disentangled another whale in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary on October 29, 2014. It is believed the whale had been entangled for three weeks. On October 4, 2014, a Waverider buoy placed approximately 25 nm west of Pt. Pinos/Monterey stopped transmitting. On Friday, October 24, Shana Rae out of Santa Cruz was hired to check on the buoy. Arriving at the coordinates for the buoy’s mooring, Shana Rae found a whale entangled in line believed to be the mooring for the Waverider buoy. Shana Rae’s captain contacted the whale watching fleet over the radio to report the incident. The captain described the condition of the whale as “weak” and “struggling.” Fast Raft captain contacted Pieter Folkens, lead of WET, with the information.

Folkens spoke with the Shana Rae’s captain who later sent three photos taken that afternoon, confirming the entanglement of a sub-adult humpback with significant damage to the flukes. A response was not mounted that day due to the late hour of the report and the distance offshore. Weather precluded any response over the weekend. On Wednesday, October 29 WET responded. Assets and personnel deployed included a HH-65 (Dolphin) helicopter out of USCG Air Station Alameda, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s 67-foot research vessel Fulmar and crew, NOAA Enforcement, a Waverider buoy representative, and eight members of the WET response team headed by Folkens. WET members are trained and respond under the auspices of NOAA’s Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program.

WET analyzed the entanglement video captured on an underwater camera. The video revealed a severe tail entanglement at the fluke insertion with substantial necrotic tissue. Whale lice were present and the skin on the body

your children and grandchildren and others. What may seem to us the mundane aspects of our daily lives may turn out to be the most fascinating for future generations. Of course, you’ll want to record the important events in your life: weddings, career achievements, and birth of children.

Likewise, the important cultural milestones and news events of our generation, the “I remember exactly where I was” recollection of hearing Elvis for the first time, or learning of the Kennedy assassination, or watching Neil Armstrong take that one giant leap for mankind.

But our stories become even richer when we weave in the details of our particular moment in history: what we ate, what we wore, how we walked and talked. Think of how few people who are left among us who know what it feels like to ride in a rumble seat or listen to music on a wind-up Victrola or watch a silent movie in a theater with an organist. How vital it is for our history and culture to get these memories down on paper before it’s too late!

So who are the “Keepers of our Culture”? They’re ordinary, average people living their own unique and extraordinary lives. They’re you and me.

Caltrans seeks public input on transportation improvements

They came from near and far (in the case of our contact, Gail Graham Jacobson, from Connecticut) to hold a 50th High School reunion at Quail Lodge earlier in October Gail stopped in the Cedar Street Times office to tell us how her father had a full service print shop in our premises, which are now home to the Motorcycle Museum.

In an effort to improve community outreach and strengthen California’s interregional At that time, when an episode of “Then Came Bronson” was filmed here, there was transportation system, Caltrans is seeking ideas from the public on how to improve also a law firm housed upstairs on the Forest Avenue side. transportation between regions of the state. There will e a web events as well as public workshops, one of which is to be held in Salinas.

“California’s population is projected to grow to 50 million people in the next decade and a half, highlighting the need to not only preserve existing transportation infrastructure but also to invest in new transit modes that move ever-increasing numbers of people and goods,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.

The purpose of the forthcoming “Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan” is to identify the best ways to invest in interregional transportation corridors to strengthen California’s economy and livability while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Regions around the state have been adopting new “sustainable communities’ strategies” that shift investments to provide greater mobility choice.

Meanwhile, the state must seek to improve interregional travel in a sustainable way that integrates well with these regional strategies.

For highways, the state will apply a “complete streets” approach where highways are designed to improve all modes of transportation. For rail, the state will explore improved integration of rail systems, including the high-speed rail system, to better serve interregional travelers. Caltrans will also look at the interregional systems of trails and bikeways, and where those can be improved to support active transportation.

A recently released California Household Travel Survey revealed that, statewide, 23 percent of household trips are made via non-car transportation, more than double than 10 years ago.

As part of the upcoming public outreach, Caltrans will host five 2014 public workshops and a webinar to solicit input and feedback on how to draft a modern transportation plan for interregional corridors. After incorporating public feedback, Caltrans will write a draft document for further public comment in February 2015.

Mayor

Bill Kampe Pac Rep presents R-rated ‘The Full Monty’

PacRep Theatre kicks off this holiday season with Terrence McNally and David Yazbek’s Broadway smash hit musical, “The Full Monty.” The 10 Tony-Award nominee for Best Musical has two discount previews - Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21, opens Saturday night, Nov. 22, and runs through Dec. 21 at the Golden Bough Playhouse in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Based on the movie, this box office record-breaker tells the story of six unemployed steelworkers who hatch a desperate plan to get their lives back—a plan that requires them to triumph over their fears, their nerves and in a fund-raising strip show to pay their bills, their clothes! Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will actually pull it off.

With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming upbeat comedy played two successful runs at the Golden Bough in 2006 & 2007, but has not played in the region since that time. Note: This is an R rated production that contains brief male nudity, adult language and adult situations.

Stephen Moorer directs The Full Monty, with musical direction by Don Dally and choreography by Susan Cable. The production marks the return of PacRep’s resident Actor's Equity actors - John Farmanesh-Bocca as the lead character “Jerry”, Michael D Jacobs as “Harold”, and Lydia Lyons as “Vicki”. Also returning to the show are regional guest artists John Bridges as “Malcolm” and Pete Russell as “Horse”. Newcomers to the production include Stephen Poletti as “Dave”, Mikey Perdue as “Ethan”, and Donna Fredrico as the irascible piano player, "Jeannette".

Come watch as the boys "bare it all!" The Full Monty begins with two discount previews, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m., opens Saturday, Nov 22, at 7:30 p.m., followed by a 2:00 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 23. Performances continue Wednesday, Nov. 26, Thursdays, Dec. 4, 11 and 18, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. from Nov. 28 through Dec. 19, and 2:00 p.m. matinee performances on Sundays Nov. 30 – Dec. 14. Performances are at the Golden Bough Theatre, located on Monte Verde St. between 8th and 9th, Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Thank You Thank you to the voters of Pacific Grove for your continued support in this election. While there may still be a few votes to count, I believe the results now show us the results for both the Mayor’s race and the Council seats.

The Council candidates represented a strong field, each bringing an important view on the future of PG. Emerging as the top finishers we have Ken Cuneo, Bill Peake, and Rudy Fischer headed to the 3 seats at stake in this election. I look forward to serving with the new council.

We will have some daunting challenges for our city over the next few years. The major issues are easy to find — water and finances — and the solutions much harder. I pledge to work vigorously toward feasible and effective solutions on these and others issues. Your continued engagement will be important for achieving the outcomes we need.

Thanks again, and best wishes to all.

Hector De Smet 1/22/1930 — 11/1/2014 Hector Victor De Smet Jr. ”Bud” was born January 22, 1930 in San Jose, California to Hector Victor De Smet Sr, an immigrant from Belgium, and Mary Terese O’Neil, a native of San Jose, California. Hector is survived by Betty, his loving wife of 59 years, his five daughters; Linda Conlin (William), Carlene Gray, Holly Paquette, Becky De Smet-Sollecito (Carmelo), and Jackie De Smet; 20 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his best friend, Herman Janzen. The youngest of four children, he is also survived by his sister Maureen D’Attilo.

Hector married Betty Roeth-Pippitt on October 15, 1955 creating an instant family with his daughters, Linda and Holly and Betty’s daughter, Carlene. They added two more daughters, Becky and Jackie…the Five Baker’s Daughters.

Hector was instilled with a strong work ethic beginning as a young boy,

selling vegetables from his little wagon and becoming a baker’s apprentice at 13. This started his life-long career as a baker, a career that spanned 70 years.

He operated the Hector De Smet Purity Bakeries on the Monterey Peninsula and had a thriving retail and wholesale business in Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel, Seaside, Carmel Valley and Marina from 1950-2002. In 1999 he was awarded Chef of the Year by the Monterey Peninsula Chef’s Association.

Hector enjoyed acting in community theater, fishing, raising birds, telling jokes and clowning around. In the 1960s he trained with Carlos the Clown to become an amateur clown, Cookie the Clown, and he entertained his grandchildren and earned the nickname “Grandpa Clown.”

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the First Christian Church of Pacific Grove, 442 Central Avenue, Pacific Grove, CA 93950 where a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Healthy Relating Rabia Erduman

Self discovery Many times our “unfinished business”, meaning old programs in the subconscious that are in the way of our living a deeply joyful life, shows itself to us in relationships. Places where we are stuck become magnified in the presence of an intimate partner. When we open to receive their love, it becomes like a lantern, illuminating our unresolved issues. The same holds true for our partner.

Because we don’t know that this is happening, we think that we are having these feelings or thoughts because of our partner; something he/she has said or done is “making” us feel this way. Naturally, then, we believe that she/he has to change.

Projection:

If something your partner says reminds the Inner Child of your mother, while you believe you are talking to your partner, the Child sees Mommy, and starts reacting to the partner as if he/she was your mother. This is called projection. By blaming, getting defensive, or rejecting the partner (believed to be mother), the Subpersonalities attempt to protect the Child from getting hurt (again).

Your partner’s behavior may or may not have been inappropriate. Yet when you look closely, you find that this person has triggered an old memory in your subconscious, and your emotions are coming from that memory, not the person’s behavior. So, your emotions are always your responsibility.

The Box:

When you watch a person behave a certain way for a while, your subconscious creates an expectation around it. It assumes that this person will continue to display this behavior. It starts defining the person through the behavior - puts the person in a BOX. Because of this assumption, when you are with this person, talk on the phone, or even think about her/him, your body reacts to the box. The box can contain positive or negative assumptions - either one is limiting, and is not the real person.

Let’s say if the box says “This person is angry”, your body, adrenals, nervous system are getting ready to defend you even before you dial their phone number. You are already in a defensive place unconsciously before he/she has said “Hello”.

Your expectation creates an atmosphere for this person for a possible expression of anger.

If they do, it is very important to understand that it is not your responsibility.

Ultimately, you cannot “make” another person behave a certain way. Their behavior is their responsibility. Yet you can put them in a box, which makes it more difficult for this person to change the be-

havior if she/he wants to.

When you as the Adult are aware of this tendency of the subconscious, you can be aware of the box, and know that there always is a door, window, or a tiny crack in the box where this person has the choice to get out, or you have a choice to let him/ her out. Even if your subconscious has put her/him in a box, you don’t have to. You can expand your awareness into who he/ she really is, the bigger picture, and realize that the behavior this person may be stuck in is not who she/he is. You can stop defining him/her through this behavior... and the Mystery takes over...

When you let go of the box, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the behavior of this person will change. It may, or it may not.

It simply means that you are not restricting his/her behavior through your assumptions and expectations. You are free.

Basic truths:

I’M OKAY = YOU’RE OKAY I’M NOT GUILTY, AND NEITHER ARE YOU YOUR PARTNER IS NOT YOUR ENEMY; YOU ARE ON THE SAME SIDE, FIGHTING AGAINST CONDITIONING When you are in a fight, the basic question is: What is your priority—to be right, or to come back to love?

The Road Was Burning

Times • Page 17

Tom Stevens

Otter Views This week’s accounts of molten lava creeping toward Pahoa town on Hawaii’s Big Island reminded me of events I witnessed years earlier along the same shoreline.

The Kilauea volcano now threatening Pahoa has been erupting pretty steadily for more than 30 years. In year 12, lava first reached the ocean near Kalapana, a centuriesold Hawaiian fishing and farming community on Hawaii’s southeast coast.

For the first time in living memory, one of Kilauea’s periodic and usually harmless eruptions seemed likely to destroy an actual town. In addition to being a tragedy and an anomaly, this was also a news story. I was working for a Maui daily at the time, and the paper sent me to Kalapana to see what I could learn.

The first thing I learned is that lava can set paved roads on fire. This spectacle so amazed me that I spent some time photographing a burning highway, which led to another discovery. As it burns, pavement releases thick, dark, toxic, throat-searing smoke that can cause sensational headaches. Within an hour, I had one that lasted four days.

Other surprises followed. Having previously seen eruptions only at their source and from the air, I was shocked by how slowly lava moves once it reaches flat ground.

I had an image of molten magma splashing downhill in fiery rivers and blazing torrents, but the reality was more prosaic. The lava crept. It crawled. It accreted. Its internal temperature was 2,000 degrees, but it moved like strawberry jam.

How slow was it? You could set a chair in the path of the oncoming lava, sit down and read The Hilo Tribune. When your shins got too hot, you could simply scoot the chair back. The lava moved so slowly you could kneel before it, lower your ear, and listen to one of nature’s oddest sounds. This was the metallic clink, tinkle and chime of micro-thin flakes of cooling lava “exfoliating” from the main blob as it puddled forward.

It sounded like the world’s tiniest xylophone.

The lava sang this enchanting siren song, but it also kept rolling. That was another surprise. How could this torpid, acrid-smelling mineral sludge keep moving and spreading? And how could this creeping tide possibly harm the town? Why not just dig ditches and build walls to divert it?

To test this notion, I made daily visits to a shoulder-high, solid-looking rock wall in the lava’s path. On the first day, the wall held easily. On day two, the lava had pooled up twice as high, but the wall still held. On day three, the wall finally burst from the pressure, freeing a “toe” of lava to blaze and crackle through dry grass toward a gracious old wooden house.

Many of Kalapana’s houses dated back a century and more. Some had bay windows and fancy scrollwork that had come around the Horn. And even the humblest tin-roofed shacks stood amid groves of coconut palms that had shaded that coast for generations.

If you can imagine the stately Victorians and landmark cypresses of Pacific Grove torching off one by one, that was what the lava did to Kalapana.

Houses burned. Trees burned. Phone poles burned. Fences, sheds, culverts, street lamps, street signs, even the streets burned. Weirdly, this all happened in slow motion, over a period of weeks. But the process was as inexorable as the trillion tons of lava pushing down the mountain from above. Dig a ditch? Build a wall? Forget it.

Whatever the lava didn’t burn, it buried. Unique and beautiful places famous for a thousand years disappeared beneath the leaden slag. The freshwater springs at Queen’s Bath. The black sand surfing beach at Kalapana. Cherished fishing holes and reefs.

Coconut groves planted centuries before by Hawaii’s kings. All paved over.

As the lava neared and then entered the town, I interviewed some residents. Most were surprisingly accepting of the situation. “Madame Pele gives the land, and she takes it back,” shrugged one old-timer, referring to the temperamental Hawaiian volcano goddess. Another, newer resident said the risk was worth it. “When you live here, you know you’re living on the edge. That’s why we like it.”

The lava’s arrival in Kalapana prompted diverse responses from two congregations.

The town’s Catholics worshipped in a 125-year-old wooden church famed for its interior murals. To save the historic building, volunteer crews worked night and day to jack the church off its foundation and ease it onto a huge tractor-trailer which drove away minutes ahead of the flames. The painted church still hosts services.

Kalapana’s Protestants had a more generic place of worship and a different outlook.

“That’s just a building,” one explained, pointing to the endangered structure. “The people are the church. We’ll find another building.”

Concert to Benefit Housing Program for Single Homeless Women Wanda Sue Parrott

Homeless in Paradise A fundraising concert to benefit “Women in Transition” (housing for single homeless women) will be given by Shelter Outreach Plus and acclaimed Monterey-based blues band Red Beans & Rice on Sun., Nov. 9, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Monterey Fairgrounds Turf Club & Patio, 2004 Fairground Road, Monterey.

The indoor-outdoor gala “Dance upon Injustice” will feature dancing, beverages, food (including the namesake red beans and rice salad) and a silent auction. Tickets are $35 each; reservations are not required.

Supporting sponsors include: Silverie Properties, LLC; Eric Johnsen, MBA, Equias Alliance; Debby Beck, CRS, GRI, Sotheby’s International Realty; donors of silent auction items, and participants in the Donate Back Program.

Under the Donate Back Program, $100 buys two tickets plus one ticket to be donated back, or $500 buys 10 tickets plus 5 donated back. The tickets donated back are given to someone associated with Shelter Outreach Programs, like Mia, who might otherwise be unable to attend.

Last spring, Mia and her three children fled domestic violence. When they arrived at the Seaside shelter operated by Shelter Outreach Plus, she was pregnant, bruised and exhausted. Six months after completing her customized development plan, welcoming her fourth child into the world, and moving into a home of her own, Mia states “Life is different for me now…My self-worth was so terribly low when I arrived at the shelter…now I’m not afraid.”

From Marina to Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach, 350 Monterey Peninsula women are currently homeless; unknown numbers of women remain unidentified victims of domestic abuse (physical violence and mental/emotional abuse).

According to Reyes Bonilla, Executive Director of Marina-based Shelter Outreach Plus, the largest provider of services for homeless and abused persons in Monterey County, “Every night nearly 200 men, women and children escaping homelessness and domestic violence stay under one of our roofs.”

Founded in 1978, Shelter Outreach Plus now employs 22 staff members and has more than 300 volunteers throughout Monterey County. In 2013, SOP emergency shelters provided housing and support services for up to six months to 489 adults and families; transitional housing programs provided housing and support services, for up to 24 months, to 193 adults and their families.

A start toward serving the most highly overlooked segment of Monterey area women without adequate housing is the Shelter Outreach Plus “Women in Transition” program slated to open in February 2015. Located in Marina, it will provide 12 to 18 beds to single women who have no children.

Shelter Outreach Plus is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, charitable organization whose ongoing programs include: • Mobile Outreach to the street homeless. More than 700 homeless persons have been helped in 2014.

• Emergency Shelters for Women & Children, and for Men: More than 62 beds are provided every night.

• Transitional Housing for Women & Families, and for Men: Each night 45 units provide 135 beds.

Shelter Outreach Plus, founding administers of the I-HELP for Men program, annually serves more than 2000 people experiencing homelessness.

For concert details, or to inquire about making donations for the silent auction, ticket donate back project, or forthcoming holidays, please call 831-384-3388 or send e-mail to info@shelteroutreachplus.org . Donations may be made at www.shelteroutreachplus.org. Mail address is: Shelter Outreach Plus, P. O. Box 1340, Marina, CA 93933.

Pacific Grove

Sports & Leisure Day 1 of the MTAL Girl’s Tennis Tournament

Pacific Grove sent six girls to the Mission Trail Athletic League (MTAL) tournament on Wednesday afternoon [11-5-14].

It was a rough day for the Breaker’s doubles, with both teams losing 6-0, 6-0. The singles did fair better though, going 1-1 on the day. Margherita Magnino lost 2-6, 1-6, while Savana McDowell won her match 4-6, 6-1, 10-6.

After getting the number two overall seed, McDowell got to sit out of the first round with a bye. She ended up squaring off against Stevenson’s Grace Wagner, in what ended up coming down to a super tie break.

“I felt like I was in a lot of trouble,” McDowell said after falling to Wagner in the first set. “I wasn’t playing my game.”

Maybe it was the rust of sitting through the first round, or the fact that she lost her first round match last year on the very court she was playing on. Either way, McDowell showed grit and determination the rest of the way. “Fake it until you make it,” was how McDowell described her confidence going into the second set. It worked for her, as she was able to jump out to a quick 5-0 lead in the set, before ultimately winning 6-1.

The second set victory by McDowell forced a tie breaker, in which she built a quick 9-2 lead. Wagner however, would not go down without a fight. She scored 4 straight points to pull within 3. It would not be enough though, as McDowell was able to secure the victory when Wagner’s return landed out of bounds.

After finding herself in the semi-finals, McDowell said that “I think I’ll bring my best, definitely.” Adding, “I think I can do well, if I really focus and concentrate.”

Results #1 Singles – McDowell, PGHS, def. Wagner, RLS, 4-6, 6-1, STB 10-6. #2 Singles – Leedy, RLS, def. Magnino, PGHS, 6-2, 6-1. #1 Doubles – Kaylaa/Maiya, Santa Catalina, def. Momberger/Crowley, PGHS, 6-0, 6-0.

Ashley Aguilera Named to the Gabilan Division All Second Team “I really didn’t do anything fantastic, I just played and tried to have as much fun as possible,” Ashley Aguilera said after being named to the Gabilan Division all second team.

Aguilera, a junior, had a tremendous season for the Breaker’s girls’ golf team. She helped them go 10-3 overall on the season, and was the teams high scorer at the MBL Championships, shooting a 107. Aguilera also averaged a 52 on the season, with her highest score being a 48.

Even though she thought that it was really cool, she didn’t take all the credit herself, saying, “I’m very proud of my team and of our placing. We all tried our best and some of us got better than last year.” Adding, “The freshmen on our team were a big help and we probably wouldn’t have gotten [as far as we did] without them.”

Pacific Grove High School alumnus competes for $100,000 school grant Michael Jones (PGHS Clss of 1992) submitted a grant proposal to Farmers Insurance for their Dream Big Challenge, a grant that awards $100,000 to school project proposals. His grant was the only one chosen in California to compete against two other proposals in this voting region. The other proposals are in Nevada and Arizona.

Jones now works as a teacher in King City and wrote his proposal to provide after-school classes that focus on digital art.

The proposal provides technology as well as funding for staff for the after-school and summer sessions. The program will include classes for all of the elementary school campuses in King City.

Voting starts on October 1 and continues through November 30 at www. thankamillionteachers.com You can support this proposal by voting each day during the voting period and sharing the information to get others to vote.

He has created a website with information about the grant and instructions on how to help at artsgrant.weebly.com

Jones is so eager to see the grant succeed that the created a Twitter account as well, @mon2rey. “ I have never used Twitter before,” he says. This has the potential for disaster and comedy.

“Follow me on Twitter to watch me shamelessly promote voting for my project. I will be in a daily struggle to find enough support to stay competitive with larger metropolitan areas.”

Kelly Slater: Surf Icon, Legend, and Hero

By Alex Villacres

Robert Kelly Slater was born on February 7, 1972, near the beautiful beaches of Cocoa Beach, Florida—home of the weakest waves in North America. Kelly came out of a family that was about as broken as the economy during the Great Depression. He started surfing at the age of five and displayed incredible potential to be, what most people know him as, the king.

Slater was a fierce and determined competitor who aspired to dominate in every competition he entered. In his early teen years, he held multiple surfing titles in the adult and youth division; his chances of entering the WCT (World Championship Tour) were almost inevitable. He became a disciple of a man named Matt Kechele, a surfboard pioneer and hero. Slater also revolutionized the sport with incredible aerial maneuvers and his absurd ability to displace water in the form of a seamless cutback. Kelly Slater is and always will be considered a hero and surfing icon for his astonishing competitive drive, revolutionary changes to the sport, and his sheer humility.

Slater’s ability and talent to go into a mode of competitiveness, and out surf some of the best in the world was the reason he holds eleven ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) world titles. Starting from a young age, Slater was dominating all the competitions on the East Coast, as noted biographer Tim Mullins, “ESA contest organizers might as well have penciled him into every final at the start of each season as he racked up 6 Eastern Surfing Championships and 4 national titles.” (Mullins). At the age of 18, Slater went pro. The underdog Floridian surfer astonished everyone as he held an oversized check for $100,000 above his head with pride as he won the Body Glove Surf Bout contest at Lower Trestles in San Clemente.

Slater was then offered a six-figure contract with the surf brand Quiksilver and went on to lead his unstoppable charge of competition wins. At the age of twenty, Slater was the youngest ever to achieve the prestigious title of World Champion in 1992. Slater has been compared to the other great competitors such as Tom Curren and Mick Fanning, who also have several world titles to their name.

Slater’s repertoire of surf maneuvers is unending; he has revolutionized the surf world since his teen years. Slater was said to have a sense of fluidity like Tom Curren, but the nimbleness and flexibility of his own. He was not only as light as a feather on his board, but he put copious amounts of power into each carve. The lines he can create on each wave are creative, bona fide, and extreme, along with the way he set his angles while smashing the lip of the wave. Slater also applied aerial moves to his surfing like no other. The difficulty of connecting each maneuver into one wave was immense, but Slater made it look easier than walking. Most people might say that the fluidity of Tom Curren was superior to Slater’s, which is a valid point due to his experience and style.

Considering Slater has several surfing world titles, as well as an appearance in People magazine for “50 most beautiful people,” staying humble would seem almost impossible, not for Slater. There are countless hot-headed egos in the surf world that can be extremely questionable, yet Slater is not one of them. Never once has social media, reporters, or competition judges seen any sign of fulsome amounts of arrogance. As he rides out of an incredible wave, he might show a sign of happiness, like a fist pump or pointing to the sky, known as a “claim.” People might think of this as gloating or a sign of arrogance, when in reality there is no surfer who has not done this. One can see that Slater has never taken his lush and extravagant life for granted; he knows that he worked hard for it and will keep working until he notices a sign of decadence. In most people’s eyes, Slater has the perfect life and thinks he was handed this by the surf gods on a silver platter. False. Slater has given back just as much as he has received; he also revolutionized the surfboard. He has worked with world-renowned shaper Al Merrick on surfboard design since the 90’s.

Kelly Slater has achieved many astounding accomplishments throughout his lifetime, which no one else can replicate. He has broken almost every competition record in the books. He has also revolutionized the sport with innovative maneuvers and bizarre surfboard design. Finally, he has not a hint of arrogance or despair and stays true to himself. Robert Kelly Slater will go down in history as a surf icon, legend—and a hero.

Breakers Stay Undefeated in League Play They overcome King City Mustangs 33-13

By Jon Charron If not for a pick six and a 43-yd touchdown run by King City, Pacific Grove would have had their second shutout in three weeks. Nevertheless, the Breakers were able to overcome a cold, rainy Halloween night, and defeat the Mustangs 3313 to stay undefeated in league play. [10-31-14] The Breakers wasted no time on their first possession of the game, by driving the ball 78 yards in 2:44 for a touchdown, a 1-yard keeper by Anthony Coppla. On the ensuing kick-off, the Breakers attempted an onside kick and recovered it at the 50-yard line. Kolby Foster would finish the drive by taking it in from 8 yards out to put the Breakers up 12-0.

The offense sputtered after their second touchdown and could not put any more points on the board in the first half. “We kind of shot ourselves in the foot on some penalties,” Jason Leach said of his team’s lack of scoring in the first half.

Defensively, the Breakers continued their strong play by creating two turnovers, and holding the Mustangs’ offense to only 7 points.

With just under six minutes remaining in the first half, King City put together a long drive that started at their own 12-yard line. After getting the ball to the Breaker 20-yard line, the Breaker defense held strong, creating three incompletions and getting a sack to force a turnover of downs right before the half.

To start the third quarter, King City buried themselves even deeper when they fumbled the kick-off, giving the Breakers the ball on the Mustang 22-yard line.

Leach would punch it in from 4 yards to score his lone touchdown of the game.

After a tipped ball landed in James Donlan’s hands on the 2-point try, the Breakers would go up 20-0.

On King City’s next possession, Chase Barbee took the hand-off and broke loose for a 43-yard touchdown run. Taking the momentum right back, the Breakers drove right down the field and got another touchdown, this time on a Keenan Selbicky 9-yard run.

After just giving up a touchdown to King City, John Buttrey picked the Breaker defense back up by getting his third interception of the season. Pacific Grove’s offense would reward Buttrey’s efforts when Anthony Coppla was able to find James Donlan in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass.

With just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Breakers looked as though they would add to the 33 points already scored. However, Dominic Rose of King City was able to step in front of Coppla’s pass and return it 75 yards for the touchdown bringing them within 20. That is as close as the Mustangs would get though, as the Breakers were able to close out the game and get the victory.

Leach, who rushed for 142 yards on 17 carries, said that “beating King City is always a feat, they always play us tough.” He added, “We wanted to control the game and I think we did.”

The Breakers (7-1, 5-0) will play their last home game of the season against Greenfield (1-7, 1-4) on Friday, November 7, 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.

Scene 60: Harry and Alice Discuss Polygamy Bernard Furman

Marriage Can Be Funny Harry and Alice Wilson are having dinner in their Pacific Grove home.

Alice: Harry, did you ever consider having more than one wife?

Harry: Consecutively, or simultaneously?

A: Simultaneously.

H: You’re asking whether I have ever considered becoming a polygamist?

A: Yes. H: Is this a joke or a trick question?

A: No, It’s not.

H: Sweetheart, I can honestly answer that never in my entire lifetime have I ever given even a moment’s thought to having multiple wives. I have my hands full dealing with just one.

A: Is that a compliment or a complaint?

H: Take it whichever way you want, it’s a true statement. What caused you to think of polygamy?

A: I recently saw an old movie starring a very young Jeanne Tripplehorn, who many years later played the role of the senior wife of Bill Paxton, the husband in the HBO series ”Big Love.”

H: I remember that one. We used to watch it together. It was about a polygamous family in Salt Lake City, with the husband having three wives, each with her own home, all adjacent to each other.

A: That’s right. Bill had children by two of them and was trying to persuade the third to have a baby, not knowing that she already had a grown daughter.

H: He rotated his nights between them, but still had time to seduce a fourth woman who seemed to be willing to join the harem, but then backed out…

A: But not before he had impregnated her as well!

November 5, 2014 at 1 :30 pm The Halcyon Days of Afghanistan ... To the Present Day Morass of a Failed State Peterson Conway VIII is an expert on Afghanistan, having made more than 150 trips to the region since his first visit in 1963. His knowledge of Afghanistan’s politics and culture will give you a unique insight into its past, present and future.

His love of the country, its people and its rich culture, is immediately apparent as his remarkable story unfolds. Peterson has been an interpreter for heads of state, a Peace Corp veteran and a humanitarian that lead many refugee missions into Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. After witnessing 50 years of Afghan history he is able to give you an insider’s view into this once great civilization from the monarchy of King Zahir Shah (19331973), the Soviet occupation (1979-1989), the reign of the Taliban (1996-2001) and to the uncertain future of Afghanistan. This extraordinary story will surely fascinate all listeners.

Peterson Conway was born in 1946 in Salem, Virginia. He came west to California with his family and was raised in Carmel. He received a Master’s Degree in International Relations with a minor in languages from the University of Paris in 1969 and did graduate work in Arabic, Persian and Pashtu at Kabul University, Afghanistan in 1970 and received an Honorary Scholar of Letters from Kabul University in 1978. He is certified by US State Department in French and with the

Foreign Service in Arabic, Persian, and Pashtu.

November 19, 2014 at 1 :30 pm Celtic Myths and Legends Rebecca Benhart, Gentrain Treasurer and Mathematician turning Amateur Historian, will talk about Celtic Mythology.

The Tuatha De Danann, or people of the goddess Danu (the mother of the Irish gods), came to Ireland in dark clouds landing on the mountains; they sailed in great ships to the coast in clouds of mist. They immediately burnt the ships so that they should not ever retreat in them. Of their arrival Lebor Gabála Érenn sings: It is God who suffered them, though He restrained them they landed with horror, with lofty deed, in their cloud of mighty combat of spectres, upon a mountain of Conmaicne of Connacht. Without distinction to descerning Ireland, Without ships, a ruthless course the truth was not known beneath the sky of stars, whether they were of heaven or of earth.

Rebecca explains, “These stories from the ages past in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland stir my curiosity. So as I did last year with my lecture on The London Blitz, I will spend this semester with my nose buried in old books to research about these mysterious people.”

Rebecca Benhart has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Mathematics from Mills College. She is working on both the Great Books and Creative Writing Certificates at MPC. She is a firm believer in the power of research to continually enhance one’s knowledge and personal growth.

A: Acquired an internet poker-playing business…

H: Founded a casino on an Indian reservation…

A: And was elected to the State legislature!

H: What prompted you to ask me?

A: With both our children out of the house, the idea of having sister-wives to keep me company seemed appealing.

H: We do have room for two—one each in Richard and Jane’s old bedrooms, but I can see problems arising.

A: Such as?

H: We would have difficulty supporting them.

A: We could send one or both out to work.

H: Not you, of course.

A: Obviously not—I have seniority.

H: I don’t believe you’d be happy sharing my affections with other women.

A: It would be for a good cause—namely my benefit, so I could live with it.

H: Running from room to room would wear me out.

A: It would be good exercise for you, which you sorely need.

H: My libido not being what it used to be, we’d need to run up big expenses to keep me supplied with ED medications such as Bob Dole had urged in TV ads.

A: It would be worth it.

H: At my age, I don’t think my heart could take the stress for long.

A: That’s a chance we might be willing to take, if there’s adequate insurance.

H: You wouldn’t be taking the chance, I would!

A: Instead of being so reluctant, I thought you’d say, “What a way to go!”

H: Sad to say, honey, I’m much more aware nowadays of my limitations and no longer tend to overestimate my capabilities.

A: So I gather that there’s no need for me to redecorate the bedrooms in anticipation of new occupants for them?

H: No, I’m satisfied to remain monogamous.

A: Would you be interested in renting the rooms to a couple of ardent young bachelors?

H: Now you’re overestimating your capabilities. ----By the way, do you recall what happened to Bill at the end of the series?

A: He was shot to death by a demented neighbor.

H: Who no doubt thought that Bill would be going after his wife next.

A: Probably so.

H: He deserved a better ending. Any man who could happily live with three women, support three families in three houses and still be eager for more, should at the very least have had a monument built in his honor.
