From the California Parks website: “Once iceplant is established, very few other plants can survive in the same area.” Except oxalis, aka “sour grass,” aka “Pacific Grove poppies.” It thrives. (L) Guy Francis and Ron Lloyd and (R) Ken Krings are three of the neighborhood group which, each spring, cleans up the Magic Carpet on Ocean View Blvd. Trash and
landscape maintenance, including pulling weeds and edging the ice plant is all part of the job, along with a healthy dose of fellowship. The ice plant at Perkins Park is world-famous; less so is Hayes Perkins, the self-effacing man who originally planted the seaside garden when he retired here in 1943. More pictures and more about Hayes Perkins on page 14. Photos by Babette Francis.
Where Hope Services Kildall Legacy Puts Pacific Grove on the Map Donations Go From Here He should be remembered as ``The father of the interconnected universe,’’ Brian Halla, former president of National Semiconductor, said last week of Gary Kildall. It was in 1974 that Kildall, in Pacific Grove, introduced that universe to his personal computer operating system CP/M (Control Program for MicroComputers), and changed forever the world of communication. Last Friday, April 25, Kildall, who died in 1994, was honored for that and other accomplishments when the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers presented its Milestone plaque in Kildall’s name, imbedding it at 801 Lighthouse Avenue, the headquarters of Kildall’s company, Digital Research. But prior to that an overflow crowd of leading figures in the national and international computer world and former Digital Research employees gathered at the Pacific Grove City Hall chambers to hear Kildall’s numerous achievements remembered and discussed. See KILDALL Page 4
Those chartreuse, or sometimes yellow, post cards that arrive every few weeks inviting residents to put their usable discards out on the curb are certainly handy. Bundle your stuff up in a bag, put it outside with the post card on it, and voila! Someone takes it way, your closet is cleaner, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you’ve done something good for someone. But where does it go, and what do they do with it? Hope Services, with their processing center in Seaside, is where it goes at first. The building on Broadway/Obama Way houses not only offices, but is where some three million pounds of e (electronic) -waste and 27 tons of clothing and household goods, including mattresses, are sorted out each year. Good, usable computers may be re-donated, for example to Loaves, Fishes and Computers which helps underserved families own computers.

PKILDALL From Page 1 These included his invention of the vitally important Basic Input Output System, his work in the fields of computer animation, his coming up in the 1980s with a device mightily resembling today’s smart phone, a CD–ROM encyclopedia, and more. But it is CP/M that he will be most remembered for, because it is the basis for the operating systems today in billions of computers. It was taken and cloned by others, but it was created in Pacific Grove by Kildall. The IEEE Milestone is highly coveted. It can be found at such important locations as Thomas Edison’s laboratory in New Jersey. As former Digital Research vice president Tom Rolander said last week in a National Public Radio interview, it is unlikely it will ever be found at Microsoft. Rolander, of Pacific Grove, was joined in the ceremonies by Gordon Eubanks, another former Digital Research VP; IEEE president-elect Howard E. Michel, and leading figures in the field John Wharton, Halla, and officials from the Naval Postgraduate School, where Kildall taught for years. The moderator and organizer of the event, David Laws, is the semiconductor curator at the Computer History Museum. Also of Pacific Grove, it was through Law’s efforts that the IEEE recognized Kildall’s accomplishments with the Milestone plaque.
Clockwise from top left; Celebrants gathered in rainy weather after the ceremonies at city Hall. 801 Lighthouse, where Digital Research once had its offices. Gary Kildall’s children. Jane Anton and Steve Hauk were among the visitors at City Hall. Recognition was given to David Laws for his efforts.

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols
100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove Main line
Patients vivisected With the commitment to an insane asylum last week of Dr. William R. Dabney, there has come to light one of the most tragic chapters in medical history. The surgeon, now thought to be senseless, had undertaken to perform a minor operation upon a patient when it was realized by attendant staff that madness directed the surgeon’s arms and hands. Dabney has performed as a surgeon for 15 years, specializing in matters of the eye, ear, and throat. For several years, Dabney has performed two to three surgical procedures daily, mostly with great success. Recently, however, a local farmer, Jacob F. Schaab, went to Dabney for help with a growth on his lip. Dabney agreed to the minor procedure, received some money, and set things in motion for the process. On the operating table, things went awry. Dabney began removing Schaab’s organs, one by one, chatting affably with himself all the while. The procedural steps followed those Dabney employed when he dissected a frog in medical school. The patient died … as had the frog. Dabney was arrested, put on trial, and found to be out of his mind. The physician has been committed to a state insane asylum for a minimum of three years, at which time the success or failure of his mental treatment will be evaluated. Put that book away! Perhaps the reading man is the worst offender of them all when it comes to ignoring his wife. Not only does he hide behind book or newspaper, he ignores everything his spouse choses to say or do. Woe be to her if she proposes getting up a good game of something or another. If these hapless ken are even allowed to speak in the presence of the confirmed bookworm, they should consider themselves lucky. The ‘hobby’ gardener is not quite so bad. He at least pursues his avocation without spoiling other’s fun. Hobby gardening, however, seems to be one of those things impossible to stop. It is almost impossible not to garden, once started; it grows on a man like drink. A gardening enthusiast would sacrifice his entire family for a new kind of dahlia, or watch their sufferings with the cheerfulness of a Nero at the fire so long as the peas were doing well. The moral? Your editor says: Sir, trade in anything on paper for a few packets of seeds. It’s spring, you know! Train change Departure for the train to Los Angeles and other points south has been changed from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. Reservations eagerly made. Off-and-ons okay. Purchase your tickets early and save 5%. Magic trip turns empty lot into home The Southern California Home Builders of Los Angeles is expanding into central California. Now, you can have one of the superlative “California Bungalow” homes, or other models, constructed on your lot. Through a cooperative agreement of the Pacific Grove Review, the Southern Pacific Railroad, and Southern Pacific Home Builders, readers of this newspaper are invited to travel to Los Angeles with your family to view new homes. Three days should be planned. One day travel to Los Angeles. One day viewing homes. One day travel home again. Overnight accommodations will be arranged at a comfortable hostelry near the home builders’ headquarters on West Sixth Street in Los Angeles. All who undertake this adventure will be awarded a one-year subscription, or extension of your subscription, to the Review. Southern Pacific homes can include your choice of disappearing beds, buffet, stationary wash tubs, cooling closets, and other fine features which may be studied on the pages of a free, fifty-page book given each participating family. Pay just 10 percent down on the estimated cost. Interested? Contact Editor Brown at the Review. Dinner for Salvation Army a success The dinner last weekend, looking to raise money for the Salvation Army, has to be considered a complete success. The Pacific Grove Hotel coordinated the hoopla, and the food was fully up to the standards of earlier meals offered by that hotel. A host of Pacific Grove residents and visitors were on hand to participate in eating the good dishes, socializing, and dancing after dinner. Music was by the Nolen & Kelsey Orchestra. Several drawings were held and entertainments presented. Many beautiful memories were obtained at this affair, in addition to raising considerable money for the SA.

Notes from the author …
1 Vivisection is surgery on an animal that may be educational but is not a matter of improved health. The term is often used disparagingly by organizations opposed to animal experimentation, but is rarely used by practicing surgeons. 2 The new editor enjoyed writing with a tongue stuck in his cheek. 3 A “cooling closet,” an early form of air conditioning, attempts to lower the temperature of a home through heat removal by a fan. 4 The IOOF, which represents the International Order of Odd Fellows, is a “secret” society that undertakes various community and charitable projects. The IOOF operates as two segments: Odd Fellows for men, Rebeckas for women. Termed “odd” because of the organizations unusual propensity for charitable works. 5 Uh oh! More of that easy credit leading up to the Great Depression.

The final fund raising effort is a spaghetti dinner, set for Sunday, May 4 at First Awakenings beginning at 6.

Annual Garden Party Celebrates 100 Years: Robinson Jeffers at Tor House
One hundred years ago this year Robinson and Una Jeffers travelled to Carmel to explore the Central Coast and Big Sur. “When the stagecoach topped the hill from Monterey, and we looked down through pines and sea fogs on Carmel Bay, it was evident that we had come without knowing it to our inevitable place” wrote Robinson Jeffers. They stayed in Carmel for the rest of their lives, building Tor House, writing poetry, raising a family and enriching the world. Please come on Sun., May 4 and enjoy the centennial celebration of the arrival in Carmel of the Poet and the Muse, Robinson and Una Jeffers.

Hootenanny Celebrates 100 Sessions 1996-2014
While the word itself originates from an Indiana expression denoting a “loose or unorganized gathering,” the modern hootenanny came to life in the late ’50s when Woody Guthrie used the term to label the acoustic jam sessions and group sing-alongs that were the backbone of the folk music revival of the early ’60s. The classic “Hoots” that were held on most college campuses were popular until the dual competition of Motown and Psychedelic Rock pushed folk music back into isolated living rooms and small clubs. The bi-monthly hootenannies at the Pacific Grove Art Center (568 Lighthouse Ave. P.G.) have been happening for the last 17 years and are attended by some 30-70 people. These community musical events have raised more than $6,500 in donations for the art center and have provided a unique experience for those participating. the Hootenanny’s 235-page songbook is comprised of folk, blues, country, jazz, and classic rock tunes that most people know. “Our main objective is to have fun with few musical “rules” to dampen enthusiasm,” said Vic Selby, organizer of the Hootenanny.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” (Directed by Gary Bolen) Morgan Stock Stage at MPC May 8 (preview) May 9 – 25. “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is a hilarious tale of “overachievers’ angst” chronicling the experience of six high school outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.All of the characters you encountered growing up (“The Boy Scout” “The Nerd” “The Overachiever”) vie for the spelling champ title in a contest overseen by “grownups” more neurotic than they are. This audience participation (!) musical is fast, funny and facetious! Can you spell “Hilarious?” – We hope so.

The band features Glenn Houston (lead guitar, mandolin), Travis Jones (lead vocal, acoustic guitar), Henry Salvia (keyboard, accordion), Joshua Zucker (standup bass), and Peter Tucker (drums). “A confluence of sublime talent.” – San Francisco Chronicle Houston Jones invites you into a world of musical virtuosity and storytelling ranging from the myths of ancient Greece to the red dirt back roads of Waskom, Texas. The acoustic heart of the band beats with the passion of five lifetimes lived in a musical landscape of revival tents to Irish pubs, New Orleans to the Great Plains to Motown, a church in Cape Cod to a punk club in Berkeley. This explosive, wide-ranging performance will touch your heart and get your feet moving of their own volition. Houston Jones has released six CDs on the Summerhill Records label and will release their seventh in the very near future. Artist website: http://houstonjones. com/

When I was in Orlando a few weeks ago at the national PGA of Americas golf show we saw a lot of new products along with golf carts, clothing and every possible product connected with the golf industry....one of the newest items we saw were the drivers where the companies were adding weight to the club head. Most of us have been using the really light weighted drivers the manufacturers have made for over 10 years but they have finally gone the other way to make them heavier. A light-headed driver is so light that most of my students along with me cannot feel the club head with our hands. Test drive these new drivers and I know you will hit them straighter with the heavier club head technology.

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts
After the Fall
I skipped a couple of weeks about my experience in Community Hospital to talk of other things. However, people have stopped by and asked me what happened to the two young men who courted me when I was recovering. Joe Foote and Charlie Webb were at the Army Language School (as it was called in those days). Joe was from New England and headed for Harvard, post graduate, when he was released from the military, Charlie to dental school (he hailed from Gross Pointe, Michigan). They continued to visit me when I arrived home to the River Ranch in Carmel Valley. Charlie came out several evenings during the week as he had a car. I was attracted to both of the army boys; although, in this case persistence paid off, Charlie was omnipresent ( Joe not so much due to lack of transportation). When I was able to get around and go places, Charlie took me to The Lovers’ Point Inn in Pacific Grove and popped the question. I had given up on Joe and accepted the proposal. Soon thereafter they were transferred to Europe to perfect their language skills. My mother received a letter from Mrs. Webb, requesting information about our heritage and a picture of her son’s intended. Mother was, of course, offended; no one questioned Genevieve Christian’s pedigree without regretting it. I am sure she covered the ancestry lineage in detail and the successes of her father and siblings. She then sent a picture of her daughter. Mrs. Webb was the wife of an Episcopalian minister, and very straight laced. Mother sent a photo of me taken when I was doing some modeling (instead of my proper college graduation photo) it was not a Marilyn-Monroe-exposes-all, but I was wearing shorts and a blouse with the shoulder slightly dropped down my arm. A few weeks later I received a “Dear Jane…” letter from my intended. I was not very disappointed. It had been a flash in the pan, a summer romance. For a time I returned to work for Phil Wilson Real Estate in an office up in the Valley Village, in what are now shops across from the Stirrup Cup, now Running Iron. The shops were then The In and Outdoor shop, a liquor store on one corner and post office on the corner. The bar across the way was owned by Byington Ford as were the other shops, such as The Grape Vine. The building where I worked belonged to Marion Wilson, my boss’s wife. It was really quite enjoyable, Joe Hitchcock and Jack Swanson stopped by to chat as did the liquor store owner. I made a few sales and did a lot of promotion, but business was slow and my salary pretty low so I bid adieu and commenced looking for a new job. Rody Holt suggested I apply for an opening at the Fairgrounds as secretary to the director, George Weiss. That lasted about two weeks, when the former assistant decided to return. There I was unemployed again. I learned that the Pacific Grove Unified School District was looking for a secretary at the PG Jr. High School which had just opened (now the site of the High School). After the required vetting I was hired and went to work for Rudd Crawford. I remember bits and pieces of this experience, some of the students, such as Tom Scardina, the Lugo boys, and Michele (Shelly) DeVaughn. The young people and I got along famously and they spent many noon hours hanging around the office. When Mr. Crawford was at Rotary on Tuesdays, they would bring in their phonographs and entertain me with the music of the day: If Rudd was aware of this levity, he never let on. By then I had rented a little cottage on the corner of Valley View and Carpenter, and had acquired a couple of kittens (Frosty and Sunny). When I arrived home at around 3:30, they would race across the lawn to meet me. One of the boys at the school made me a sign for my abode (his name was Bobby) “MIA CASA.” The cats rested on my shoulder at night when I sat and read. However I had made friends with the young men living next door, also at the Language School, and had become part of a group of young men and women who worked on the Peninsula. We would walk down town and visit The Gourmet Shop, under Howard Brun’s, walk up to Whitney’s and later to the Mission Ranch. Some of the names of my friends many of you might remember, Monique Boutet, Blake Lyle, Paul Whitman, Emile Pasqualeigh (sp) Shirley Patterson, Herb and Jim Angier, Warren Johnston. Occasionally I would go to the Village Corner and read the afternoon Herald until someone came along. I would visit with the gang at Carmel Realty - Jimmy Doud, Coram Jackson, et al - who had become buddies when I was working in Carmel and walked up to the post office for the mail. One thing about PG High that I have never forgotten was the segregation of youngsters in one classroom. It was for mentally challenged. Unfortunately they were all thrown together from the lowest IQ to those who were perfectly able to be mainstreamed and integrated. I loved those youngsters. Mr. Ledesma was their teacher and a remarkable man. There was a window behind my desk so that I could observe if the instructor needed to step out. I had talks with some of these high functioning “kids” who were embarrassed and upset to be in the class. Mrs. Ledesma also taught Spanish at the school, and I recall that she was as kind and talented as her husband. I was getting anxious to return to San Francisco and the advertising business so, after a year, I left the job, gave up my little home, the cats went to live at The River Ranch and I to “The City...” In 2006 Michele Tubman came to volunteer at the Treasure Shop. It was Shelly DeVaughn. We have become very close friends. We were talking about the Lovers Point Inn and her father’s ownership until the early ’50s when he sold it and opened the famous restaurant on Cannery Row. Michele gave me a copy of the menu from the inn and I thought it might interest you. Jane Roland gcr770@aol.com or 649-0657 .
Too Soothing for Words
Tom Stevens
Otter Views A friend’s aching back sent us on Sunday to verdant Carmel Valley, where one tennis ranch operates as a public amenity an aquatic spa called “The Refuge.” For $39 plus tax, any law-abiding person owning a swim suit and flip-flops can take the waters, perspire in steam rooms, and recline by fireside in comfy lounge chairs. For an additional $12, you can rent a deluxe Hugh Hefner-style white terry cloth robe. My Hefner phase lost to recall, I eschewed the robe in favor of a loose cotton shirt and a high tuck of the complementary pool towel. Luckily, few mirrors or reflective surfaces accost spa patrons. The Refuge is all about feeling good in the body you brought, even if it differs from the one you thought you remembered. To that end, the spa employs a near-Babylonian arsenal of body pleasing stressreduction systems. Stream-fed hot and cold soaking pools abound, as do fire pits ringed by comfortable patio chairs. Separate benched chambers offer salutary blasts of Saharan dry heat or Amazonian steam. Yet other rooms soothe spa patrons with ergonomic sling chairs and discreetly piped-in New Age flutes. The discreet flutes are part of a thoughtfully calibrated sonic environment designed to still the inner rabble rouser and let relaxation commence. The soft whuffling of the patio gas fires mingles with bird song. Breezes rustle in the trees overhead. From all sides comes the hypnotic thrumming of mini waterfalls splashing into hot and cold pools. Should this artful susurration somehow fail to induce tranquility, a picket line of posted signs reminds patrons to “Respect the Silence.” I liked that sentiment and felt moved to comment on it. “Totally the reverse of what’s going on in Congress right now!” I began. “Outrageous! Did you read about that latest . . .” “Shhhhh,” my friend whispered. “You’ll bring on stress.” Actually, I should have come to The Refuge packing more stress. As the day went on, our successive immersions in hot pools, cold pools, saunas and steam rooms left me in a torpid bliss state I can only call “stress debt.” Thankfully (and probably only temporarily), my present life includes so little stress the first hot pool exhausted it all. Everything after that was stress gravy. Lying in an ergonomic chair at one point, I gazed idly up at blue sky, puffy white clouds and sun-dappled treetops. I tried to reflect upon the many stress-racked periods of my earlier life when I could have made better use of The Refuge, but I lacked the energy. “Stress is wasted on the young,” I observed. “My life has such a low aggravation metric these days, I feel like a charlatan basking in all this comfort. I should probably just stay home and take a nap.” “Shhhh,” my friend whispered, pointing to the nearest Respect the Silence sign. “Don’t worry about it. I have enough stress for two.” Yet as our visit lengthened, even that proved insufficient to counter the spa’s many blandishments. Among these is a regime of heat-cold-rest-and-repeat treatments which, if followed scrupulously, leaves the patron’s body tingling all over with soft electric fire. In Finland and Siberia, sauna bathers whip themselves with birch branches and roll in the snow to achieve the same effect. In Carmel Valley, the “double cold” pool does the trick. Perhaps to avoid the stress of lawsuits related to cardio-pulmonary failure, The Refuge thoughtfully posts little pictographs at each water feature. The icon with two yellow suns indicates a pool with hotter water than a pool with just one sun. Blue spheres – possibly ice planets? – indicate the cold pools. The pools with one ice planet are about the same temperature as the ocean hereabouts, that is, barely tolerable. The two ice planet pools are considerably more Arctic. The tingliest “double cold” pool greets patrons exiting at a loopy stagger from the sustained furnace blast of the spa’s sauna or steam room. Spotting the pool’s limpid waters, inviting blue tiles and helpful stair rail, the superheated spagoer happily descends three steps before the frigid shock locks in. By then, it’s too late. You’re chest-deep in a clear, fiery, icy liquid that resembles water in fluidity only. According to the spa’s tri-fold brochure, double cold pool immersion should last “five to 10 seconds” on average but “no more than 60 seconds.” I was about to remark on this, but I’d already been in for 10 seconds and could no longer breathe. A full minute in there would probably relieve all stress, permanently. Near the end of our visit, The Refuge filled up with patrons who didn’t need midriff-hiding towel tucks. These were lean and sinewy marathoners who had just finished Sunday’s Big Sur race. The pools and saunas beckoned, but the runners all took seats on the patio, pointed their feet toward the fire rings, and fell gratefully asleep. Their silence was respected.

Long Long Ago, Songs of the American Civil War Era, reprised by ‘Voices’ Patriotic, popular and spirituals: songs that have woven themselves into our heritage
Monterey Peninsula Voices, formerly the Monterey Peninsula Choral Society, presents their annual spring concert, Long Long Ago, Songs of the Civil War Era, at two locations: May 9, 8 p.m. at St. Benedict Catholic Church, Hollister; May 10, 8 p.m. and May11, 2 p.m. at the Golden State Theatre, 417 Alvarado, Monterey. Tickets are $20 prior to May 1, after $25. Seniors and military are $15, students 18 and younger are $10. Tickets may be purchased online at www.mpvoices.org or call 888-520-1870. Mothers admitted free to the Sunday matinee. The 20+ song program includes probably the most famous Civil War era song, Julia Ward Howe’s Battle “Hymn of the Republic,” which used the tune of the abolitionist song, “John Brown’s Body.” The 100 member chorus will also sing popular songs of the day: “Beautiful Dreamer,” “If You Only Have a Moustache” and “Long Long Ago;” a medley of favorites — “Tenting on the Old Camp Grounds,” “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” “Dixie”; and spirituals such as “Wade in the Water” which was often used as a signal to escaping slaves to get off the trail and into water to make sure that slave-catcher dogs couldn’t sniff them out. Most of the pieces are sung a cappella. Sean Boulware is sought after as a conductor, adjudicator, clinician, and vocalist throughout the United States and Europe. The Monterey Peninsula Voices, a nonprofit, volunteer community chorus is made up of both novice and experienced singers dedicated to song.
L-R Senator Alan Simpson, Mrs.Sylvia Panetta, Congressman Barney Frank and Secretary Leon Panetta By Katie Shain and Mike Clancy The second forum in the 2014 Leon Panetta Lecture Series took place Monday afternoon and evening at the Monterey Conference Center, featuring two of our country’s leading and most influential legislators, Barney Frank; former United States Congressman and Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services, and Alan Simpson; former United States Senator and Co-Chair of the Simpson-Bowles Commission, taking on the far-reaching topic of government’s role in dealing with depressions, wars, equality and poverty, keeping with the overall theme of this year’s lecture series, “Learning the Lessons of History: Is the Past Prologue to the Future?” Panetta Institute Co-Director, Sylvia Panetta, introduced the topic and speakers, observing the fact that the role of government has changed dramatically in dealing with economic crises like; depressions, recessions, national security and defense, healthcare, education, civil rights and income inequality over the past 100 years. In welcoming Congressman Frank and Senator Simpson, Mrs. Panetta pointed out that they have seen Washington at its best and at its worst during their long and esteemed careers in public life. In his opening remarks, Secretary Leon Panetta, Moderator for both the afternoon session, which hosted a cross section of hundreds of students from around the county, providing them the opportunity to ask questions and the evening event, noted that the federal budget totaled $2.7 billion in 1914, compared with the current $3.4 trillion in 2014, and asserted that this dramatic expansion of government was bipartisan. Congressman Frank offered the opinion that we have too little government, stating that the bigger the private sector gets the bigger government must be to ensure that it is properly regulated. He came back to this theme throughout the evening, claiming lack of government oversight set the stage for the 2008 financial meltdown as private sectors began producing ever more complicated financial instruments that increasingly separated investment risk from responsibility. Frank stated that the Dodd-Frank bill, passed in 2010 to expand government regulation of the financial sector in response to the 2008 crisis, makes a similar crash much less likely, but not impossible. Turning attention to the federal budget deficit, Secretary Panetta called the issue a fundamental paradox, as everyone wants the deficit to be brought under control but
few, if any, want to give up the benefits they receive from government spending. Senator Simpson recounted his experiences as Co-Chair of the SimpsonBowles Commission, a bipartisan group chartered by President Obama to develop a long-term plan to curb government spending, reduce the deficit and begin paying down the federal debt. Simpson indicated that the resulting plan achieved roughly equal support from both the left and the right, but was attacked vigorously by special interest groups and lobbyists, and thus failed to gain the approval required to go formally to Congress for action. Simpson noted that the federal government is currently borrowing about $1.5 billion per day, and expressed concern that this would eventually drive interest rates much higher, damaging the economy. Congressman Frank called for reducing the level of defense we provide to other nations, avoiding military interventions overseas as much as possible and ending the war on drugs to tame the budget deficit. Both Congressman Frank and Senator Simpson bemoaned recent Supreme Court rulings that have opened the floodgates for wealthy individuals and institutions to use vast sums of money to seek greater political access and power. Simpson called these rulings the “worst decisions ever.” Frank thought that they “dilute democracy” and would eventually be overturned when one or two new justices are appointed to the Court. Regarding the current state of “dysfunction” in Washington, Secretary Panetta declared that Congress has basically given up on accomplishing anything important until after the next presidential election, and called this a clear failure in leadership. Both Congressman Frank and Senator Simpson agreed that the healing balm of humor has left the halls of congress, and stated that this is a relatively recent development, as they recalled many instances in their careers where leaders were willing to take the political risk of cooperating with the opposing party. With Washington remaining paralyzed by partisan gridlock these days, it was hopeful to hear these three old friends speak of their earlier times in a substantive, entertaining and often humorous manner at an event of historical importance. The 2014 Panetta Lecture Series will continue on Monday May 12, to introduce other distinguished panel guest speakers on the topic of “Security Versus Freedom: Sedition to Internment to Surveillance”. These forums are available to be attended or viewed on multiple channels. For more information, visit http://www.panettainstitute.org/programs/ lecture-series/ or call 831-582-4200.

Dorothy’s Back, and Boy is She... After Pebble Beach Food & Wine, Complacency Just Doesn’t Cut It
I’ve been holding this in for a week or two and it just won’t go away or stop nagging at me, so I’m going to blurt it out, all over this column. If you are looking for something to read that is warm, fuzzy and full of rainbows, fairies and unicorns turn the page. This ain’t it. Complacency in the hospitality / customer service industry is a disease. Not just a simple little ‘antibiotics-canfix-this-in-a-few-days’ disease but a terminal, fatal, flesh eating, gut-rotting disease. The definitions someone or something complacent or suffering from complacency include: 1. The feeling of being satisfied with things as they are and not wanting to make them better. 2. Showing smug and uncritical satisfaction with oneself or one’s achievements. 3. Contented to a fault. Self-satisfied and unconcerned. Recently, I have had the opportunity to span the full spectrum from the highest of heights to the lowest of lows. I have the privilege of enjoying the catbird’s seat at all of the events held at Pebble Beach Food & Wine, where the best of the best at the height of their profession come to show the rest how to do it. Sheer perfection! A week later, I dined in a local eatery that is now defining complacency in my Dorothy’s dictionary of dining disasters. Maybe the fact that these two experiences occurred so closely to one another and contrasted so dynamically from another made them stand out in my mind so starkly. Here’s the down-low: My friend and I decided to head out the Saturday before Easter for a bite to eat in a place that is well established,
Dorothy Maras-Ildiz
Food for Thought generally well regarded, owner-operated and has always been pretty reliable. We enter the foyer and are greeted by a server who greeted us with a smile and said, “Sit wherever you like to.” Ok, so we did. The owner was sitting in the dining room with another couple. I waved hello and he nodded in my direction. Ok, no problem. The place was 1/3 full at 7pm on a Saturday night…..not busy at all. Our server approaches and introduces herself and hands off the menus to us. All normal, so far. I order one of the five or six selections of Chardonnays by the bottle on the list. Her response is –“let me see if we have that one” and proceeds to disappear. Upon her return she states, “the only chardonnay we have is XYZ Chard. The rest are gone.” Ok, so you have one out of 5 wines in that varietal and the one you have is the most expensive of the five. Grade F. Reprint the damned list if you are out of 90 percent of the wines. So I ordered the only Sauv Blanc available because I won’t be forced to order what they want me to order. Next, the ‘sorta-garlic bread’ arrives. This place is known for having deliciously chewy, garlicky, buttery bread. What hit my table tasted like it was delivered directly from Denny’s. Slathered in that pseudo-butter-grease that even old-school diners rarely use
Discover Pacific Grove... Keep it. Read it. Use it. or visit DiscoverPacifcGrove.com
anymore and tasting of some sort of non-animal fat, fat with just a hint of tin can on the back of the palate. Garlic? Not on this bread. Maybe they waved it over the bread from about 10 ft. back, but it wasn’t on this bread. I asked the server – “what has happened to your garlic bread?” Her response was to bring us another basket of the same grease monkeyed stuff. Yippee. We order an appetizer of carpaccio ($6.95). Ok, $6.95 is inexpensive for this dish, but I wouldn’t have cared if you charged me a dollar. This was not carpaccio. It was watery, begging for salt, pepper, olive oil, capers…. flavor of any sort. This was spongy tasteless gunk. Just bad. Grade F as in freaking bad. Now here comes the most baffling part of the evening. A guy who seems to be working there approaches our table like he’s flying in on a skateboard, puts his hands on my friend’s shoulders and blurts out, “Where have you been all my life? Oh, yeah. I guess I’ve been busy. I was married to a man, who I took care of because he was old and couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast, but I took care of him….and blah, blah, blah…” WHAT?? Who are you and why are you standing at my table blabbing about some irrelevant bologna and interrupting our dinner? Seriously, he kept talking and talking without taking a breath. I was so dumbfounded that I just sat there and nodded and shook my head until he went away. A few minutes later the same skateboarding, babbling guy is at the table of six next to us giving completely unsolicited advice to the young lady dining with her parents and grandparents about what she should and shouldn’t be doing during her first semester at college. The elders were visibly horrified, but polite which is more than I can say for the server. This was all said while he was leaning on his elbows on their table! Meanwhile, Mr. Owner is still seated with the people at the other end of the dining room watching this dark comedy take place. Entrees arrive at our table and are a study in mediocrity and don’t really resemble the descriptors on the menu. Meanwhile, a lady emerges from the kitchen door wearing an apron and she looks annoyed and mean. Glaring at all of us diners, with her hands on her hips she shakes her head and spins around and disappears back through the swinging doors. She looked so angry that I was afraid that she was going to re-emerge with either a chainsaw or a meat cleaver in hand. Spooky. About
this time, I’m thinking filmmakers would come popping into the dining room and shout. “You’ve been punked!” Instead, our overly cheerful, possibly drug fueled server raced over and asked if we wanted dessert. “Ummmm… no.” I didn’t think I could take the risk of another course of horrors. As she departed, yet another ‘service person’ approached the table. This one was about 15 years old, snapping wildly at a piece of gum in her mouth full of braces that were on full display. I don’t know what that gum had done to that young lady, but boy was she mad at it. To add to the gum-killing, she was sporting a large black bead piercing the size of a thumb tack in her bottom lip that bobbed up and down in rhythm with the demise of the offending gum. She stopped chewing long enough to say, “ya’ done with these?” before stacking up the plates unceremoniously and moving off behind the kitchen doors to where I can only guess the Cleaver Bearing Maven was waiting. Let’s get back to my Complacency Checklist: • If you still have Christmas lights twinkling or a poinsettia rotting in a foil wrapped pot in your restaurant in April; you are complacent. • You own the place and you don’t even make an attempt to greet your guests or say thank you or good night to them while you are sitting in plain sight of everyone? Definitely complacent. • Your place used to be filled with people and others waiting for seats, but now it is 2/3 empty and you blame it on “the economy” while the restaurant across parking lot is banging out the meals? Yep, you are complacent as hell. How can the ‘economy’ across the parking lot be so much better than the ‘economy’ at your place?? Guess what? It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s your complacency that is killing you! • If you are not proud as heck of the food and service in your place, you are beyond complacent. You are a disgrace to yourself and the industry we work so hard to be recognized as a ‘true profession’. • And last, but not least- your staff are a direct reflection of you, Mr. Owner. The fish stinks from the head down and they’ve obviously learned from you that what they are doing is “good enough” and “OK.” Well, it isn’t and the public is voting with their dollars. All the while you’ll be scratching your head blaming the ‘economy’ or someone or something else for the failure of your business. Look in the mirror. It is you. It is your name over the door. Fix your business or sell it to someone who is passionate about perfection and will try to do their utmost at all times to deliver their best efforts to the public. That. Is. All.

Peeps Keeping the Magic in the ‘Magic Carpet’ A group of neighbors who live near Pacific Grove’s famous “Magic Carpet’ gather each spring to groom the scenic spot. The mesembryanthemum (ice plant), along with geraniums, lotus, scarlet aloe, and calla lilies were all planted by Hayes Perkins, a world explorer who retired in Pacific Grove when he was 65. He had sailed around the Horn in square-rigged sailing vessel, exploring the Belgian Congo and Angola, Australia and the South Seas. He worked in African diamond mines and in Nigeria as a lumberjack. He lived in a cabin at Lovers Point and hand-carried water for his seaside garden in buckets. He would garden in the morning and spend his afternoons voraciously reading at the Pacific Grove Library. The Rotary Club raised $200 to defray the expense of clearing more land for his plantings, and in 1942 the City installed water pipes to the garden and hired a helper for Perkins. When the City named Perkins Park for him and gave him a plaque, he said, “I appreciate it but I didn’t want it. I don’t believe in personal advertising.” He never wanted money for his plants or work, but he asked that the city put up signs that no dogs or bicycles be allowed on the narrow paths. Hayes Perkins died in 1964 and left his worldly poseessions to the Pacific Grove Public Library, where a published running

Travis on Taxes
Planning for Each Generation
It's May! The sun is shining and the grass is green. There is plenty of daylight in the evenings and summer is just around the corner. You even have your tax returns complete. Things are looking good! As you mosey out to the mailbox and pull out today's haul, you see a letter with an unusually interesting stamp, one kind of like your dad used to collect...then it hits you, "Wait a minute, did I claim the deduction for donating Dad's stamp collection to the museum? I even spent $300 on the appraisal, and I completely forgot about it! And my taxes are already done!" Fortunately for the hypothetical you as well as everyone else, there is a cure-all remedy elixir called an amendment. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides form 1040X and the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) provides form 540X to facilitate this process for individuals. The 'X' comes from the fact that you must be eXtra crazy to want to do your taxes again. Actually, I have no idea where the 'X' comes from, but it is probably rooted in something - just like 401(k) plans. Many people don't realize 401(k) is simply the Internal Revenue Code Section that lays down the rules for that particular type of retirement plan. Somebody was not having a creative day when they came up with that one. But I digress... The IRS version and the FTB version of amendments follow a similar format with a column of the original amounts reported, a column for the net change, and a revised column. They do not cover all lines in the tax returns, however, but selected key lines as well as subtotals for other things. Any affected schedules and statements are reprepared in full in the corrected manner and attached to the returns. The returns must be paper filed, and if there are changes to amounts reported for tax withholdings, the physical copies of the forms showing the withholdings must be attached. Simple math errors are generally corrected by the taxing authority computer systems, and a change letter is sent automatically, so you generally don't have to file an amendment if for some reason you noticed an arithmetic error on the return. With computer tax preparation so prevalent, it is rare to see this unless the return is handprepared. As a side note of interest, every client hand-prepared return I have re-prepared in the past 10 years, aside from something basic like a single person with a W-2 or a pension, has had preparation errors - a tribute to the complexity of our tax code today. If you missed something large and underreported your taxable income significantly, it is to your benefit to amend as soon as possible as interest and penalties will continue to grow. You could also be assessed a 20 percent accuracy related penalty. The IRS generally gives you three years to file an amendment and the FTB gives you four years. More specifically and to illustrate, if you filed your 2013 1040 return on or before April 15, 2014, you have until April 15, 2017 to file your 1040X amended tax return. If you filed for an automatic extension until October 15, then you have until the earlier of 1) three years from the date you actually file the return or 2) three years from October 15. If however, you are delinquent on paying the tax you owe, and you have an outstanding balance that carries on for a period of time, that time frame could be extended as you have at least two years (one for California) after the date you actually pay the tax to file an amendment. After filing an amendment, don't hold your breath waiting for a response, as it typically takes two or three months to process the returns. If you are curious, however, you can check the status of your return at www.irs.gov. I have worked with quite a number of people over the years where we have gone
I was never a big comic book fan. However, when I was 14 I spent the entire summer in Central Oregon. In search of entertainment, I discovered Captain America at a local comic book shop. I declared Captain America to be my favorite comic. Although at the time there was a Captain America movie, it was a “B-List” movie at best and it was impossible to predict the enormous appeal and box office success that the current Captain America series of movies has become today. Yes, I’m claiming to have been on the “Captain America bandwagon” before it was “cool.” Once again, I’m a trendsetter. As with many subjects, I view Captain America as an adult with a different prism than when I was a teenager. In particular, the storyline where Captain America heroically crashes the airplane carrying nuclear weapons bound for the United States into the ice, is frozen, and is regenerated 70 years later causes me to think about the unique estate planning dilemmas that Captain America would face. This might sound like a classic absurd theoretical comic book debate from an episode of “The Big Bang Theory”, but there are actually thousands of people who hope to become real life “Captain Americas.” According to Wikipedia, “cryogenics” refers to the branches of physics and engineering that involve the study of very low temperatures, how to produce them, and how materials behave at those temperatures. “Cryonics” is the emerging medical technology of “cryopreserving” humans and animals with the intention of future revival, i.e., the attempt to “Captain America” one’s self, if we may use “Captain America” as a verb. The dispute over Hall of Fame Red Sox slugger Ted Williams’ estate brought a national spotlight to this concept. As some estate planning attorneys have realized, this relatively new idea could have a profound impact upon estate planning. Traditionally we take the view that

once we die, we no longer need our assets. We therefore take the time and effort to establish legally recognized plans that will distribute any assets that we might have remaining at the time of our deaths to our loved ones or for the benefit of our favorite charitable causes. There is often a joke about estate planning that in the ideal world, you would spend your last penny as you take your last breath and therefore wouldn’t need any estate planning! However, with cryonics, you might need your assets long after you pass away. First, there are costs necessary to initiate and maintain the cryopreservation process. Such expenses include medical supplies, chemicals, facilities, electricity, and staffing. It is necessary that these expenses are paid for years after your death. Relying on your surviving loved ones to continue to fund these costs long after your death is not a practical solution, especially if future technology will not permit the hope of future revival for decades or even centuries. At least one organization, ALCOR, has developed a method for financing the cryopreservation process after one’s death. In the early 1990s, ALCOR consulted with numerous estate planning experts to determine if it were possible to create a common trust what would be used to fund the cryopreservation process for cryonics patients long after their deaths. ALCOR finally found an attorney in Arizona who created the “ALCOR Patient Care Trust.” The idea is that a person interested in cryopreservation through ALCOR will transfer a specified amount of assets into the Patient Care Trust, either during life or upon death – most commonly through a life insurance policy. The Patient Care Trust will then use those assets to fund the expenses of the cryopreservation process until the person is revived, presumably years into the future. Although none of

ALCOR claims that it invests the trust assets in such a way as to use the income off of its investments to fund the cryopreservation process.

If you are to be revived decades or centuries into the future, you probably want to make sure that you maintain a nest egg of assets so that you do not wake up to poverty, hunger, and homelessness. Should your estate plan leave all or a portion of your estate to your future self? There are various organizations that claim if you invest a portion of your estate in a certain manner, with the magic of compound interest, by the time you are revived, you will have more than enough money to support yourself! Both of these aforementioned kinds of trusts raise another interesting issue: can a trust last indefinitely? Under the common law, there is a limit as to how long a trust may last. This limit is known as the “Rule Against Perpetuities” (“RAP”) and has confused law students for generations. Some states, such as Alaska, have eliminated the RAP and allow trusts to continue forever. Other states, such as Arizona, allow exceptions to the RAP under certain conditions. The ALCOR Patient Care Trust was drafted under Arizona law and was cleverly structured in such a way as to fall within Arizona’s exception to the RAP. California, on the other hand, does in fact have a RAP and thus would not be the ideal jurisdiction to govern cryonics trusts. Whether or not you believe in the merits of cryonics, the topic does demonstrate the impact science on estate planning and the unique challenges that certain medical issues or concepts can create.

Measure O: Just a Study, So What’s the Problem? Editor:
Let's be very clear. Measure O does not mandate an automatic purchase of Cal-Am assets. What it requires is a feasibility study. When you buy a home, you always do an appraisal, a site/building inspection, evaluate your financial condition, and shop around for the best lender. That is, in essence, a feasibility study. And this is what Measure O will require. If O passes, the study is completed and things proceed, or not. Simple enough? Well, if it's just a study - what are some folks so scared of? Are the mayors afraid that they might have betrayed the public trust? Is Cal-Am afraid of exposing their financial details to the general public, or that their company really isn't worth all that much? Are certain business leaders afraid of losing their preferential water rates? Are some members of the public really worried about losing their Public Utilities Commission overlords? Really? A feasibility study will show whether or not purchasing Cal-Am assets is affordable, practical, and beneficial to ratepayers. Who wouldn't want to know that information? And if not, why not? I'd like to know - that's why I'm voting YES on O. Linda Nichols Monterey

Thank you, Pacific Grove, For Honoring Kildall
Editor: As Semiconductor Curator at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View and a resident of Pacific Grove, one year ago I was asked by officials of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers of New York to assist in the placement of an IEEE Milestone plaque in a public place to commemorate a seminal event in the history of computing technology that took place in the City 40 years ago this year. In 1974 Gary Kildall, a professor of computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School, developed the first working version of his Control Program for Microcomputers (CP/M) in a tool shed in his backyard on Bayview Avenue. Kildall's software allowed a microprocessorbased computer to communicate with a disk drive storage unit and provided an important foundation for the personal computer revolution. He founded Digital Research Inc. to sell CP/M to pioneering PC manufacturers throughout the world and in the 1980s employed close to 500 people in the area. The reaction of several long-time residents was “Don’t waste your time, you won’t even get it through the City bureaucracy in time for the 50th anniversary.” I am writing this letter to publicly compliment our City leaders and administrators for their extraordinary level of cooperation and enthusiastic support that allowed us to celebrate the dedication of the plaque on Friday April 25. Nearly 150 former DRI employees, grey beards from the annual Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop, dignitaries from NPS, and IEEE members, together with Gary’s children Kristin and Scott gathered in City Hall to recall the extraordinary accomplishments of their father. Most of the attendees then braved a heavy rainstorm to observe a short ceremony, presided over by Mayor Bill Kampe, to unveil the plaque outside the former DRI headquarters at 801 Lighthouse Avenue. Thank you Pacific Grove. David A. Laws Pacific Grove

Scene 36: Harry and Alice Discuss the Dinner at Emily’s Parents’ Home Bernard Furman
Marriage Can Be Funny Harry and Alice Wilson have just returned to their Pacific Grove home from Pebble Beach. Harry: I like Emily a lot and her parents seem like lovely people, but it was their house that impressed me most. It’s immense! Alice: It doesn’t have four bedrooms, it has four suites! And each has a dressing room, two walk-in closets, and a bathroom to die for. H: With an elevator to get to them, a dining room table that seats 20, and a living room that can easily accommodate a party for 50 people. A: What’s a house like that worth? H: I don’t know, but in its prime Pebble Beach location, with a spectacular view of the ocean, you have to be talking multi-millions. A: I enjoyed visiting, but can’t imagine living there. It’s overwhelming—so big, we’d need to make an appointment to see each other…. H: And have directional signs, for guests. A: And it’s just for four people: Emily, her parents and younger sister. H: Don’t forget the dog and cat. A: Add the parrot, and it’s already overcrowded. H: But still, you have to admit it’s a magnificent house. Do you think we’re dissing it because it makes our home look like a shack in comparison? A: Maybe subconsciously—but no one is asking us to live there, so what we think is meaningless. More importantly, Richard’s future in-laws seem genuinely fond of him…. H: And he is obviously marrying into a wealthy family, which can’t be all bad. A: What did you think of the dinner? H: Everything about it was exceptional, but I could have done without the little chicken. A: You mean the Cornish hen? H: To me it was a little chicken.
the hell it was, reminded me of an incident my friend Stan Collins told me about when we were living in New York. A: What was that? H: He had been invited to dinner at the home of a client who was a prominent theatrical producer. Everything was ultra fancy—champagne to start with in the living room, a white-gloved waiter in the dining room, you name it. A: So what happened? H: Everything went well until the main course was served. Stan looked at the two tiny birds on his plate, and decided that the only way to eat them without using his fingers was to cut each one in half, then in half again, and eat each piece whole, bones and all. Meanwhile, the host’s two Golden Retrievers had been allowed into the dining room and were circling the table, hoping for tidbits. When Stan attempted to slice the first bird, instead of cutting it, the pressure and angle of his knife caused the bird to shoot backward into the air. A: Oh my! How did Stan deal with that? H: He didn’t have to, because one of the dogs caught the bird on the fly and swallowed it whole! A: Did anyone at the table comment about that? H: They did not, and that was what struck Stan as being so odd. No one said a word. A: That’s a very funny story. I can just picture the dog catching the bird. And it was very considerate of the other people to pretend that nothing happened. H: It was, but maybe that’s a natural reaction, because something similar happened to me several years later. A: What was that? H: I flew to Boston for an overnight stay, my client having reserved two connecting rooms at a hotel which had just opened: one for my meeting with him and two other executives, and the other for my bedroom. During our meeting, a mouse dropped to the floor from a ceiling vent and scampered across the floor into the bedroom!
A: What didn’t you like about it? Mine was delicious.
A: Did anyone else see that?
H: The taste was okay, but I believe that requiring your guests to consume a bird at a fancy dinner party is an imposition.
H: They must have, because we were seated in a circle and the mouse dropped in the middle. A: So what did they say?
A: How so?
H: No one said anything, and all behaved as if nothing had occurred!
H: Because it’s so difficult to eat it without using your fingers, and no one wants to do that because it seems impolite. I was especially concerned, because looking at that little chicken, or Cornish hen, or whatever
A: What happened to the mouse?
Rudolph Tenenbaum
Poetry Adrianne Haslet-Davis Boston Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis’ recovery and return to the dance studio was chronicled on “Survivor Diaries” earlier in April on CNN. She lost her foot in the blast, but has since returned to the dance stage. Rudolph Tenenbaum was inspired by her to write this piece. Feeling smaller and having less, Life being truly unkind. And then, surprisingly, happiness, Depression left behind. Happiness may appear As a bridge almost crossed. Then it may look like her dear beautiful leg that she lost. Then as a user friendly Steel and aluminum limb. Then it may look like a treadmill And a trampoline, and a swim. Pride, courage and patience. And now the final stage. A real challenge to nature: She is dancing! On stage! Feeling smaller and having less, Life being truly unknind. And then sprisingly, happiness, Depression left behind. Happiness delivered in stages. Remarkably, all of them look Like the most exciting pages Of the most profound book. The bridge that was almost crossed Retrospectively looks like a prize, The beautiful leg lost A blessing in disguise.

Harbor seal pups: more on the way By Thom Akeman It looks like Pacific Grove is on the way to a record number of harbor seal births on its beaches this spring. Bay Net docents counted 81 around the closely watched Hopkins Marine Station area two different days this week, already more than only two previous years -- 2011 (87) and 2012 (82). And there were still several pregnant harbor seals on the beaches, with births almost daily. Now in its sixth week, the pupping season also seems to be running about a week earlier than usual. Nearly half the pups may been weaned already. When first weaned, a harbor seal pup can cry for a few days, pleading for mom to come back with the easy meals. Then they tend to group together as they learn to be independent and search for their own food. It’s important at this stage to remember that pups seen alone on a beach may be perfectly fine and humans shouldn’t interfere. If there’s any question, please call the Marine Mammal Center (831-663-6298) and let trained rescuers assess the situation. The numbers are certainly higher than last year because the city has put some effective fencing and signage around the 5th Street Cove, telling people to stay off the beaches right now and leave the nursing seals and helpless babies alone. Without proper protection, a record number of pups were lost last year as hundreds of people intruded on the processes. This year we know of only one pup lost because a couple of jerks went onto a beach and chased nursing mothers away. There have been a few other pups abandoned presumably for natural causes – something wrong with the mom or something wrong with the pup. That’s normal for wildlife. Infant mortality for the harbor seals here is believed normal when it’s less than 10%. Unseasonably strong surf and huge waves swept over all the sand in the 5th Street Cove on Easter Sunday, pulling all the seals and pups there into the rough seas. As the waves calmed down this week, most of the pups reappeared -- some back in the 5th Street area, some on the bigger beach at Hopkins, some on more remote beaches. Kim Worrell, the Bay Net docent who best recognizes individual seals on sight, has seen all but three since the Easter surges. She’s still looking and they may turn up yet. High waves have been washing over the 5th Street beaches regularly since Easter, essentially burying them during the two high tides each day. Still, docents believe there have been 16th births so far in that cove, utilizing all the pocket beaches at the bottom of 5th Street and along the east side of Berwick Park. Some nursing pups and moms are usually still there at low tides, along with some adults waiting to give birth.
State Water Resources Control Board May Change Recycled Water Requirements Due to Drought
The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) will hold a public meeting on June 3, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. to receive public comments on proposed General Waste Discharge Requirements for Recycled Water Use (General Order) and an associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study/Negative Declaration (Negative Declaration). The proposed General Order and Draft Initial Study/ Negative Declaration are was posted on April 25, 2014 and is available at: http://www. waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/land_disposal/waste_discharge_requirements.shtml For more information and any questions, please contact David Balgobin at (916) 341-6914 or david.balgobin@waterboards.ca.gov. On April 25, 2014, the Governor issued an Executive Order declaring a continued state of emergency due to severe drought conditions. Directive No. 10 of the Executive Order directs the State Water Board to adopt statewide general waste discharge requirements to facilitate the use of treated wastewater that meets standards set by the Department of Public Health, in order to reduce demand on potable water supplies. This General Order is intended to satisfy the directive No. 10 requirement. Directive No. 19 of the Executive Order provides that the California Environmental Quality Act requirement to conduct an environmental review is suspended to allow the State Water Board to adopt this General Order as quickly as possible.
SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN COMMENTS
The State Water Board will accept both written and oral comments on the proposed General Order and Initial Study/Negative Declaration. Written comments must be
Pacific “Whale Trail” expands to California
A network of coastal sites where the public can view orcas and other marine mammals from shore will be expanded to include California, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) and The Whale Trail announced. Established in 2008 along Washington’s coastline, Whale Trail is a non-profit organization that works with NOAA and other organizations to raise awareness of marine waters, connect visitors to marine life, inspire stewardship, build community and promote land-based whale watching. In California, inaugural viewing sites near San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Monterey will be established and outfitted with interpretative signs describing the types of whales and other wildlife that can be seen at each location, along with information about the area’s distinguishing characteristics. The first California stops along the Whale Trail are in publicly-accessible locations adjacent to Gulf of the Farallones and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries, internationally recognized for wildlife watching, especially whales. “The national marine sanctuaries in central California are known for marine wildlife watching,” said William J. Douros, ONMS regional director. “The Whale Trail is an outstanding program that can inspire greater appreciation for whales, boost local tourism and provide families with a great way to spend time together in the outdoors.” The California viewing sites will be added to the Whale Trail website. The inaugural viewing sites include Point Reyes, Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz, and Point Lobos State Reserve in Monterey County. Additionally, the Crissy Field visitor center for Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s Exploration Center in Santa Cruz and its Coastal Discovery Center in San Simeon will also be added to the Whale Trail website as venues where the public can learn about whales and other marine mammals. In May, NOAA and Whale Trail will hold three public events featuring information about the Whale Trail to be followed with a lecture by international orca researcher Erich Hoyt. Hoyt will discuss his decades-long research on orcas in the north Pacific, including connections to orcas in California. “We are thrilled to collaborate with ONMS to bring Erich to California on his first-ever speaking tour here,” said Donna Sandstrom, Whale Trail executive director. “When it comes to orcas, there’s no better storyteller, and no better time to hear his stories. From his early work in Johnstone Strait to his current research in Far East Russia, Erich inspires us all to better protect whales, dolphins and the worlds’ oceans.” Hoyt’s lectures will begin at 7:00 p.m., preceded by a reception at 6:00 p.m., and are scheduled at the following locations: May 14: Museum of Monterey, Monterey May 15: Sanctuary Exploration Center, Santa Cruz For more information, go to brownpapertickets.com. About The Whale Trail The Whale Trail provides simple, powerful, and long-lasting reminders to visitors and residents alike that Orcas and other whales live in our waters. Through current sites and signs along the Whale Trail, including two on every Washington State ferry, presently more than 22 million people learn about the Whale Trail each year. The Whale Trail is led by a core team of partners that include NOAA Fisheries, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Seattle Aquarium, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, and the Whale Museum. The Whale Trail is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, registered in Washington State. About National Marine Sanctuaries NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries serves as trustee for a network of 14 marine protected areas encompassing more than 170,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes waters from Washington state to the Florida Keys, and from Lake Huron to American Samoa. The network includes a system of 13 national marine sanctuaries and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. About Erich Hoyt Erich Hoyt has spent much of his life on or near the sea, working with whales and dolphins and marine conservation. An award-winning author, he has written or co-written 20 books and hundreds of magazine articles on whales, dolphins, as well as ants, insects, wild plants and other subjects. In 2013, Erich won the European Cetacean Society’s Mandy McMath Conservation Prize for his body of work. Erich is currently Senior Research Fellow with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) in the UK, and Head of WDC’s Global Campaign for Marine Protected Areas. For the past decade, he has jointly directed the first killer whale (orca) study in Russia (based in Kamchatka), as well as (since 2009) the Russian Cetacean Habitat Project — both of them international collaborations with Russian scientists. In 2008-09, he co-chaired the program committee and was a member of the steering committee for the first ever conference on marine mammal protected areas (www.icmmpa.org), held in Hawaii. After helping to organize the second conference in Martinique in November 2011 and editing the proceedings, he is currently helping to plan a third conference in Adelaide, Australia for November 2014.

electronics and divide them up by type, package or bale them, and send them off to a refiner in Stockton.The refiner is certified an “E-Steward” by Good Housekeeping: They extract gold, copper, platinum, and other usable metals from the various motherboards, CD drives, CRT terminals and other electronics they receive, then pay Hope Services by weight for what is sent to them. And not a speck of it goes offshore. Nor does it go into the landfill. Even plastic is reused. “It’s ‘responsible recycling,’” says George Molano, manager of Hope’s Seaside facility. He’s been working with developmentally disabled adults since 1975. In Hope’s facility, a number of employees, many of them developmentally disabled adults, report to work every day. They cut the ends off of SCSI cables, toss heat sinks into one bin and hard drives into another, unscrew components from mother boards and at the end of the day go home knowing they’ll get paycheck. “Dignity never goes out of style,” says the headline on their website at www. hopeservices.org. Hope Services offers dignity, in the form of a paycheck. Hope is the oldest and largest business of its kind, proudly offering adult services for more than 60 years to more than 3,000 people each year. With facilities in South San Francisco, Mountain View, Santa Clara, San Jose, Gilroy, Hollister, and Santa Cruz as well as this one in Seaside, they work to change the perception of people with developmental disabilities. Says Molano, “They can be fully participating members of the community,” living on their own, getting around, shopping, going to classes, and generally functioning within the society. Clothing and usable household items, including small appliances, are sent to a store called “Savers” in Salinas, where they are resold. And the items that don’t sell could be sent overseas (some 50 percent), where they are worn again by needy people in the developing world. Or as NPR reports, about 80 percent of the donations made nationally are carted away by textile recyclers. About 3.8 billion pounds of clothing that is donated each year is recycled. Thirty percent of the materials
are made into wiping cloths that are used in commercial and industrial uses. About 20 percent of the donated clothes and textiles are converted into fibers that are then made into a variety of other products, including carpet padding, insulation for autos and homes, and pillow stuffing. At Hope Services, mattresses – the scourge of landfills – are recycled as well. The wood and springs are removed, and only some of the filling fiber goes to waste. But recycling e-waste is not the only service Hope provides. It’s not the only source of their income.

Hope has contracts with local hotels to recycle or reuse linens, too. There are a number of skills clients can provide to area businesses. Many of the skills are entry-level, such as cleaning and yard work. Hope provides services to cities like Pacific Grove and Monterey; to schools like the Naval Postgraduate School and CSUMB, and to hospitals like CHOMP and Salinas Valley. They clean the rec trail, keeping it free of litter for the thousands of visitors year round, and clean the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The local facility sees come 250 clients, and has a staff of anywhere from 40 to 50. Their budget is about $6 million each year. Each year they pay out $1.4 million in client payroll, says Molano. “They are not on the dole. They are steady and dependable. They will stay on the job more than seven years on average. And it’s mandatory that we provide good workers.” Hope provides some training and counseling as well, helping to keep clients in jobs and independent, though there are some with more serious challenges than others. “Not everyone can be a winner, but it’s about the trying,” he said.

differs from actual oxygen production. Oxygen turnover, in layman’s terms, refers to a situation were oxygen is both generated and consumed in a process very much like breathing. It is estimated that 70 to 80 percent of available oxygen in the atmosphere is actually produced by marine plants, algae in particular. There are two types of rainforests: tropical and temperate.
Our planet has many different regions and climates, but none are more connected to the Earth than rainforests. Their role in nature and the environment is crucial. Rainforests, like oceans, are large visible indicators of our planet’s overall health. Rainforests receive anywhere from 98 to 180 inches of annual rainfall. It is estimated that 40 to 75 percent of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests. Experts say there may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms yet undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called “jewels of the Earth,” and the “world’s largest pharmacy”: more than one quarter of natural medicines has been discovered there. Tropical rainforests also are referred to as “Earth’s lungs.” It is generally stated that rainforests are responsible for 28 percent of Earth’s oxygen turnover, which
These warm and wet rainforests are located in the equatorial zone between the Tropic Of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. They are found from Burma to the Philippines; Malaysia; Indonesia; Papua New Guinea; northeastern Australia; Sri-Lanka; Sub-Saharan Africa from Cameroon to the Congo; the Amazon; parts of Central America; and many Pacific islands, including Hawaii. Many of these forests lie in the monsoon trough. A tropical rainforest averages 64º F in all seasons, with an average annual rainfall of no less than 68 inches, and can
If you’ve ever wondered about the artwork that illustrates science textbooks, field guides, and interpretive signs in parks and nature preserves, you have the opportunity to learn about it at an exhibit in Pacific Grove. “Illustrating Nature,” the fifth annual exhibit of work by students in the CSU Monterey Bay Science Illustration Program, will be on display at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History May 3 through June 15. The museum is located at 165 Forest Ave., Pacific Grove. The opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on May 2. The 63 framed illustrations and several field sketchbooks in the exhibit depict wildlife, flowering plants and artifacts including poison dart frogs, red pandas, zebras, delicate local wildflowers and Brussels sprouts, all created using a variety of media including pen and ink, scratchboard, colored pencil, watercolor,
gouache, acrylic and digital media. A demonstration of science illustration methods and techniques will be held at the museum from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 10. In 2009, the science illustration program relocated from UC Santa Cruz Extension to CSUMB. One of the most prestigious programs of its kind in the nation, it prepares students who are sought after by scientific institutions and publications around the world. Graduates are working at the Smithsonian Institution; New York’s American Museum of Natural History; the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History; the Monterey Bay Aquarium; and National Geographic, Scientific American and Nature magazines. Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is free. More information about the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is available at http://www.pgmuseum.org/

Typically, the amount runs between 69 and 79 inches. A tropical rainforest is usually divided into four layers, with different animals and plants adapted to each one. The layers are: emergent (uppermost), canopy, understory, and forest floor.
Temperate
Temperate rainforests are smaller and lie scattered in other areas of the world. These include the Pacific Northwest in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California; in Europe, including coastal areas of Ireland and Scotland; southern Norway; parts of the western Balkans, Galicia and coastal areas of the eastern Black Sea, including Georgia and coastal Turkey; in East Asia, including southern China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, on Sakhalin Island and the adjacent Russian Far East coast; Southern Chile; and New Zealand. Temperate rainforests also exist in parts of Australia below the tropics.
Climate
A natural rainforest emits and absorbs large quantities of carbon dioxide. As such, an undisturbed rainforest has little effect on world carbon dioxide levels. However, no rainforest is undisturbed today and their future is uncertain. It is known that deforestation increases the carbon dioxide level around a rainforest, which throws it out of balance. Some climate models predict a large loss of Amazonian rainforest around 2050 due to drought, forest dieback, and the subsequent release of more carbon dioxide.
Life
More than half the world’s species of
plants and animals are found in rainforests. A broad variety of fauna lives in them, including mammals, reptiles, birds, and invertebrates. Many rainforest species are disappearing due to deforestation and pollution of the atmosphere. Biologists have estimated many rainforest species –as many as 50,000 a year – are being driven to extinction by deforestation. A Harvard University professor, E.O. Wilson, says if this continues, a quarter or more of all species on Earth could be exterminated in the next 50 years. Recent satellite images confirm something is also happening in the Congo. The rainforests there are sporting a new color—brown. The slow change in their appearance from space during this [21st] century has been matched to a rise in temperature and less precipitation. A team of scientists at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium predicts in the Journal of Climate that population growth and inefficient agricultural practices are likely to make things hotter in the Congo and worse for the rainforest there. Humans benefit from healthy rainforests. Tropical rainforests provide timber as well as meat and animal hides for human consumption. They are also good tourism destinations. Plant derived medicines from rainforests are used to treat fever, fungal infections, burns, gastrointestinal problems, pain, respiratory problems, and wounds.
