Pacific Grove voters voted 58.61% to put Measure M, a limitation on Short Term Rentals, into effect. The man who spearheaded the forwas Pacific Grove campaign, Luke Coletti, unavailable for comment.

Masketeers strike again by Gary Baley

Did the Four Masketeers strike again? At 3:30 pm Thursday November 1 a young student on his way to the American Karate Martial Arts School in the Country Club Gate shopping center witnessed four men dressed in black wearing black ski masks jump out of a gray minivan and bound into the Chase Bank next door carrying pistols and AK-47 assault rifles. The student ran into the karate studio and reported the scene—but the adults inside didn’t believe it. They thought it was a late Halloween stunt. Meanwhile inside the bank, the masked men perpetrated a daring daylight robbery and made a hasty retreat in their van with bags full of cash. There was no gunfire and no one was hurt during the heist. Police were called and quickly responded with a phalanx of

There is an extended process before the results of an election become official. Monterey County Elections has 30 days to complete and validate the counts. Usually, we receive the official results just before our first meeting in December. That means the timeline is: November 6 – Election Day November 7 – Council meeting with the current council

November 28 – Council meeting with the current council December 5 – Council receives official results from County Elections Department and certifies the Pacific Grove results as the first order of business. The new mayor and council are sworn in. There is a ceremonial period for the swearing in, and the farewell to departing councilmembers. Then the new council members take their seats, and the business of the city resumes, in new hands.

Ben Jealous’ dream campaign fell short Home-grown candidate Ben Jealous, a graduate of York school, was running on the Democratic ticket for governor of Maryland, where he lives now. He came up short. He could have been Maryland's first African American governor. He ran on what some consider a leftwing platform, including “Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, and legalizing marijuana, He had strong support and an active cadre of backers who knocked on doors and help rallies. Underfunded, however, the lack of campaign ads and campaign materials crippled his campaign.

Pet Safety Tips During Deer Breeding Season
Diana L. Guerrero
Ask ARK Lady Urban deer aggression increases a couple of times a year, in the spring when newborn fawns are born, and during rut (mating season) in the fall, which can begin as early as September and last through December (or longer).
In addition to avoiding the local deer population on walks, the most common mistake people make is that they attempt to get closer to take photos of the deer. It is best to back away and to give the deer privacy. The most prudent action is to vacate the area as quickly as possible.
and to avoid startling deer.
If you have a deer that is invading your area, banging pots to startle and move animals off or using yard deterrents and installing barriers are some strategies to consider.
11. Use physical barriers or shields such as fencing, trash bins and vehicles.
Currently, the highest risk areas to people and their pets include forested areas, golf course greens, green corridors and yards that provide essential resources such as places to hide, food or water sources. Keep in mind that deer can clear six to eight foot heights easily so make sure to research barriers and the removal of desired resources so your efforts are effective. The urban deer pet deer safety tips shared earlier this year still apply but I wanted to review some tips and discuss how mating season differs. (Guerrero, Diana L. “Pet Safety Tips During Deer Fawning Season.” Cedar Street Times 18 May 2018: p. 4) To review, a protective doe will usually stop and stare. In the captive wildlife realm we always called aggressive posturing as being “up” since these indicators are similar across species. Body posture and appendages move up and forward but another indicator is the degree of body stiffness and other overt signs. Deer body language and signals can vary between species. In the local blacktail deer, the first signals warnings come when animals alert. Indicators start with a direct stare combined with ears that move forward and up, and can escalate when both the head and tail are elevated.
Finally, below are some resources to find the right help in Monterey County for problem animals in the neighborhood. Monterey Animal Services: http://bit.ly/MRYcritterhelp Department of Fish & Game Wildlife Incidents: http:// bit.ly/DFWMRYwildlifeincidents SPCA MRY http://bit.ly/SPCAmc (831) 264-5427 or after hours (831) 646-5534. *Municipal Code MCC 8.42.012 Feeding wildlife in any way is not permitted, with the exception of a bird feeder in the yard. Find more at https://library. municode.com/ca/monterey_county/ OR http://www. codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey06.html To decrease your risk or injury from deer:
Some deer will threaten by stamping and/or moving in an unnatural, stiff marching gait. Locally, habituated animals (those used to humans due to feeding and other activities) can be more subtle often following a person and dog. Many will directly approach prior to rearing and attacking with their front hooves.
1. Don’t feed wildlife and discourage others from doing so.
Males will arch and stiffen their body while lowering their head and may exhibit a head toss or other display. During rut, the neck muscles are more developed and the antlers have hardened, replacing the soft blood vessel filled velvet covering once present during their growth. Don’t be fooled by size, these animals pack a lot of power.
4. Scan your surroundings constantly for unexpected deer so you can re-route.
Males tend to be more intensely focused on mating with receptive females but because dogs (and sometimes cats) are perceived as predators it can be a risky time to stumble upon a deer unknowingly.
10. Identify protective escape areas nearby.
12. Consider carrying/using a visual barrier such as a popup umbrella. 13. Consider carrying/using an animal specific deterrent such as a stun or zap stick. 14. Carry a mobile phone to call for help or a ride. 15. Avoid creating deer friendly gardens and landscapes.

2. Leave deer alone and keep a good distance away. Two blocks lengths or more. 3. Avoid known deer hangout areas.
5. Refrain from walking during highest activity times for deer (dawn and dusk). 6. Stay out of green belts areas where food, water and hiding areas exist. 7. Temporarily change regular dog walking routes to wider, open streets with less foliage. 8. Keep your pet on a six-foot leash for safety
Marty Dunn Rovin’ in the Grove by Marty Dunn As the Western gull flies, it’s about 27 miles from Santa Cruz to Pacific Grove. For me, it’s much further than that, the trip of a lifetime, in fact. It’s been nearly four and a half months since I uprooted from my native town and transplanted myself to this foggy side of the bay. My take so far? WOW! This is a wonderful burg, bursting with community spirit and friendliness. Already I have found so much to confirm I have made the right move, from children smiling and saying hi as they walk by to warm greetings from the PGPL staff to Chinese lanterns bobbing from front porch eaves—just to scratch the surface. These may sound like simplistic, if not just plain simple, things, and they are: that’s the whole point. This is a town that practices genuine friendliness in ways seen less and less in other places. I’m not sure if it’s kosher to give shout-outs to businesses and individuals, but I’ll see if the editor lets me at least acknowledge the down-home ambiance of Grove Market, the incredible farmer’s bread at Pavel’s, the Red House’s everything, the nice folk at the post office, the comfy seats at the Lighthouse, and city gardener Kent, who faithfully curates the grounds along Ocean View Blvd. And, of course, the marvelous Monday farmers’ market, with great food from the fields as well as large servings of people sharing news and ideas. It was such a pleasure to plop down my blanket at Lovers
9. Carry a noise deterrent such as an air horn or shake can (soda can with coins) to help distract, startle or dissuade deer.
Point to watch the Feast of Lanterns, to witness the outpouring of community support for this unique event while munching on goodies from the local food trucks. Then hearing the hundreds of viewers on the beach and surrounding grounds oohing and aahing over the fizzling fireworks display just added another note to the sense of wholeness here, of people enjoying being together. The dense fog may have shrouded the pyrotechnics, but it could not dampen the spirit of the evening. Finally, here’s an item that must stand alone for recognition. In my first week here, I had occasion to visit city hall. As I was upstairs waiting for information, I looked down and saw a Peregrine Falcon and its ‘birdman’ in the little courtyard. A bit incredulous, I asked the woman helping me if she knew anything about the pair. She replied that the city hires their services in an attempt to keep the seagulls at bay (if you will). That is an inspired choice; certainly beats the other possible (toxic) methods. (I have since seen the same team at Del Monte Center, so it seems this natural approach is utilized in the broader region.) Off to a great start as a newly-ordained Pagrovian, looking ahead to see what fall and winter bring (hopefully rain!), and so very thankful to have landed in the ‘last American home town.’ ‘Till next time!

SPCA Offers Reward for Information after Two Horses Found Dead in Royal Oaks The SPCA for Monterey County is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the death of two horses. On October 17, the SPCA for Monterey County received a report of two deceased horses at a property on Strawberry Road in Royal Oaks, CA. Upon our officer’s arrival that day, she located two badly decomposed horse carcasses inside two separate horse stalls. The caretaker for the two horses was later identified as Benjamin Montano Hernandez. Hernandez appears to have fled the property and his whereabouts are unknown at this time. Hernandez is a person of interest at this point and the investigation is on-going. He currently has an active arrest warrant for possession of stolen property and driving with a suspended license. Hernandez is described as a 35 year old Hispanic male, 5’11”, weighing approximately 190 lbs, with brown eyes and black hair. Once the investigation is completed, the case will be sent to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office for review and criminal filing. If you were a witness to this case, please contact the SPCA at 831-373-2631 or online at www.SPCAmc.org/report-cruelty. All reports are confidential. The caretaker could potentially be charged with the following offenses: California Penal Code Sections 597.1 (Permitting Animals to go Without Veterinary Care), Penal Code 597 (Animal Cruelty), Penal Code 597(b) (Deprivation of Food, Water, and Shelter), and Penal Code 597s (Abandonment).

At 71, the venerable old, bronzed shoe trophy started life as the track shoe of former Carmel High athletic director Lloyd Miller. It’s showing no signs of slowing down. “The Shoe” has been passed back and forth between the Pacific Grove High School Breakers and the Carmel High Padres as they compete annually for the bronze trophy and associated bragging rights. Carmel has now won seven straight Shoe Games, but the series has been fairly even over the decades – 32-32-2.
Carmel Keeps the Shoe By Peter Cox
In the most recent episode of the famous “Shoe Game” rivalry between the Pacific Grove and Carmel high school football teams, the Carmel Padres (10-0) defeated the PG Breakers (4-6), 57-0, on Saturday, November 3, in Carmel. Carmel was the heavy favorite going into the contest, though at the start it appeared that Pacific Grove was not simply going to submit to the Padre offensive juggernaut, allowing only one score in the first quarter. In the second, however, the Padres brought in their indefensible air campaign, with Padre quarterback Kai Raine lighting up multiple receivers on rapid drives down the field for three TDs in the second quarter. The second half was symmetrical to the first, with three more Padre touchdowns added in the third and one more in the fourth. There was little the PG defense could do against the multitude of weapons Carmel brought to the field, as there was little the PG offense could do against the Padre iron curtain defense. It was a rough end to a mixed season for the Breakers. Despite finishing with a losing record and suffering from injuries to multiple starters, including their leading scorer, Breaker resiliency remained strong to the end. On a personal note, this reporter, who hails from a southern state where football is king and high school coaches and athletes tend to be treated and act like arrogant rock stars, it was refreshing to interact with the respectful players and truly mentoring coaches of Pacific Grove this season. From my observations, it seems that the coaches care more about the well-being of their players than they do about the points on the scoreboard. When given the opportunity to respond to dirty play by some of their opponents throughout the season, the Breaker boys held back. They were competitive, but didn’t cheapen the game with low blows. They were hard working, but had their priorities straight and didn’t sacrifice their character for momentary advantages. In victory and defeat, it was a real joy to watch them and to write their stories. I wish Coach Morgan and his team well going forward. Hold your heads high, Breaker fans, and be proud of your team. Those boys fought the good fight, and are better young men because of it.
Total Points scored to date: Carmel - 1,592 Pacific Grove - 1,365 Most points scored by one team: Carmel - 78 (2009) Most points scored by both teams: 93 (2012) Carmel 55 - Pacific Grove 38 Greatest victory margin: Carmel 78 - Pacific Grove 6 (2009) Longest winning streak by each team: Carmel - 8 games from 1957 through 1964 Pacific Grove - 6 games from 1987 through 1992

Grove police, Monterey County Sheriff, and FBI are conducting the investigation led by the Peninsula Regional Violence and Narcotics Team. As of this writing there are no arrests and no suspects. The PRVNT is after four fugitives, and possibly a fifth driver, on the loose. This same bank branch was robbed seven years earlier almost to the day in a strikingly similar caper with three masked men. The bank now has a private armed security guard to thwart any repeat performance. If any member of the public has any information that might help in the investigation of this robbery, please contact the Pacific Grove Police Department’s anonymous tip line at 831-648-3159.
False Alarm Triggered by Gary Baley
At approximately 3:05 pm Wednesday November 7, someone triggered a robbery alarm at the Union Bank branch in Pacific Grove at the corner of Lighthouse and Forest avenues. PG police responded in force, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The bank manager could not explain how it happened, only saying they were investigating it.

Bella and Friends On Thursday we plan to see “The Old Man With A Gun,” starring Robert Redford. I would see Redford if he were the only actor in a movie with no spoken dialogue. Oh, wait, he did that. As far as I am concerned, he can do no wrong. I first saw him on the stage in “Barefoot In The Park.” With Elizabeth Ashley, a few years later it was made into a film with Redford and Jane Fonda (Hollywood, in its infinite wisdom must have stars, remember Julie Andrews in “My Fair Lady,” replaced by Audrey Hepburn, who can’t sing, in the film?). The first movie I recall with Redford was “Butch Cassady and The Sundance Kid “in 1969. Paul Newman was an award-winning star by then and Redford credits Newman with his being cast in the movie. It was a huge hit. I saw it one night in Miami where I lived at the time. I adored it and the next day took my children, Jay and Ellen to see it. It has been said that The Old Man….” is his final film; however, according to a newspaper article this morning, he has refuted that … I am sure it is “The Roar of the Greasepaint and the Smell of the Crowd.” The acting bug as it were. This new movie has received raves for both lead actors, Redford and Sissy Spacek. There is a group, Carr Fire Pet Rescue and Reunification, that are finding lost animals from the Carr fire. One family, the Rhodes, lost everything . As they escaped the conflagration, they tried to rush their two beloved cats into their SUV. One cat got in but the other, Bella, bolted and disappeared as the blaze threatened to consume them. They had no choice but to flee. Their home, as was most of the neighborhood in Redding, soon was gone. The Rhodes presumed Bella was dead and devastated by their loss, they moved 1,800 miles away to Anchorage, Alaska to start rebuilding their life. Six weeks later they received a call. Bella was alive. She had been spotted by the rescue group and trapped. There are thirty-five volunteers who are continuing to look for missing pets. Eighty pets have been reunited with their families. “Most are cats that have been through hell.” “The volunteers go to elaborate lengths to catch the animals which often are traumatized and injured. Equipped with night-vision cameras, traps and lots of food for bait, the volunteers stake out an area where a missing pet has been spotted waiting for the right moment to drop a trap”. Those of us who love animals understand the trauma when a pet is missing. When Sammy disappeared a few years ago I feared (still fear) that he was eaten by a wild varmint. He would not have left home voluntarily and was afraid of almost everyone. I grieved for a time and then gave up. Toby, our marmalade, let it be known that he was delighted, that he prefers to be the alpha cat. He went from being a snarky, feisty kitty, to be a lap snuggler. Cats are interesting. Far more so than dogs. Dogs if well treated and loved respond in kind. In fact, we know that dogs will suffer all kinds of abuse from their owners (think Bull’s Eye, Bill Sykes dog in Oliver Twist…The animal tolerated enormous abuse at the hands of his master, until Bill turned on Nancy, Bull’s Eye protected her and was killed by Sykes). Cats wouldn’t take it for a minute. No, cats would say…”No Way!!!” and move away. There are cats who have lived with us, cats I enjoyed but for whom I had no passion. There have also been a few that I adored, Mike, our marmalade Manx I couldn’t have loved more. Toby is beginning to inch into that category. There has been the rare feline whom I actively disliked. One such was Gonda. In 1967 our friends Gene and Electra Miller were going to Italy for a year. Electra and I played bridge together. He husband, Gene was a Pulitzer prize winner reporter for The Miami Herald. He had won his first Pulitzer for separate investigations in to the cases of Joe Shea and Mary Katherine Hampton, each innocent, who had been falsely convicted of murder and were freed thanks to his reporting. Electra asked me if we would take her cat Gonda during their sabbatical. She was named Gonda as the Millers had gotten her from friends, The Leirs who named their kittys, Gonda and Chanda. What can I say, she was a beautiful calico and there the complements end. She was a mean, nasty cat and even the children who had been hankering for a pet hated her. She had no redeeming qualities. The Millers had neglected the important duty of an animal owner, Gonda had a litter of kittens. At that point, Gene and Electra were due home. As soon as I felt they had recovered from the flight I called..”Hi, I bet you are looking forward to seeing your kitty”… there was dead silence and then “Oh, no, she was a gift to you”. “But, Electra, we can’t take her, we are about to move, and she had a litter...” The long and short of it, the Millers didn’t want her. The children and I were moving into a different house. I found homes for most of the offspring and took the rest – including their mother- to an animal shelter that did not euthanize. They were excited when they saw her. “Oh, she is beautiful, she will have no problem finding a home.” “Good luck” I thought “be sure you get a ‘no return’ document.” I adore animals but, like people, there are those who have no redeeming qualities.

Pacific Grove 3rd Q 2017 vs. 2018
Kyle Krasa
Planning for Each Generation
Patrick Ryan
Local Real Estate Update Last week we examined the 3rd quarter numbers for Pacific Grove, so this week we turn our attention to our larger neighbor, Monterey. It will be interesting to see if the numbers are similar to Pacific Grove. The following numbers reflect sales of single-family homes only, they do not include condos or townhomes. If any of you readers would like me to examine the sales of condos and/or townhomes in the future, just shoot me an email and let me know.
For quick reference to the table above, sold means the total amount of single family homes that sold in 2017 and 2018. List price is what the home was listed for and sold price is what the home ultimately sold for. DOM stands for days on market, or how long it took the home to sell. Price per square foot is determined by dividing the final sales price by the square footage of the home, which can be useful when evaluating the asking price or determining the sales price of a home. Each metric above showed an increase except for the amount of homes sold, which only decreased by one home when comparing the 3rd quarter of 2017 vs. 2018. The only increase in the table that could be considered a “negative” would be the days on market, but as usual, a deeper look into the numbers provides us with an answer. In 2017 the longest days on market was 205 days while in 2018 the longest days on market was 415 days. Also, in 2017 there were only 2 homes that sat on the market for over 200 days. In the 3rd quarter of 2018 there were 4 homes that sat for over 200 days. Both the average list price and average “sold” price went up and were very similar in the amount that they rose, 9.3% and 8.9% respectively. A psychological barrier was broken with both the average list and “sold” price reaching above $1 million. The most expensive home sold in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was a 2,100 square foot home on Jack’s Road that sold for $2.78 million. In the 3rd quarter of 2018 the most expensive home sold was a 5,873 square foot home located in Monterra that sold for $3.45 million. It was this home that was on the market for 415 days. In the 3rd quarter of 2018 the least expensive home to sell was a 900 square foot home in New Monterey that sold for $475,000 and in the 3rd quarter of 2017 the least expensive home to sell was 1,095 square foot home on Casanova that sold for $400,000. In the 3rd quarter of 2017 there were 8 homes sold that were under 1,000 square feet, while in 2018 there were 4 homes sold that were under 1,000 square feet. Monterey has continued to show an increase of list prices and “sold”prices, just as the rest of the peninsula. The same factors are at play, lack of supply and continued demand. Will that soften in the future? Only time will tell, but homes do not sell for two reasons, price and marketing. A properly priced home will sell and according to the numbers, it should sell in less than 2 months on average. Please contact me with any questions…Cheers Patrick.ryan@sothebyshomes.com Broker Associate 831-238-8116 www.pebblebeachabodes.com

Making Sense of Legal Jargon As an English major, I am passionate about vocabulary. For me, part of the appeal of practicing law is that lawyers have their own dictionaries! In preparing for law school, I purchased a copy of Black’s Legal Dictionary from Borders in Sand City, California (remember that store?) and learned terms of interest. Unfortunately, most legal jargon is not readily accessible to the average person. A lot of the terms are confusingly similar. In the Estate Planning context, there are several terms that appear to be the same but in fact have very different meanings. Below is an overview of some of the most common confusingly similar legal terms related to Estate Planning. Power of Appointment v. Power of Attorney: A “Power of Appointment” is a power granted in either a Will or a Trust that allows the beneficiary to direct the distribution of assets, either during the beneficiary’s life (a “lifetime Power of Appointment”) or upon the beneficiary’s death (a “testamentary power of appointment”). A “Power of Appointment” can be a very powerful tool to allow a beneficiary to change the disposition of a Will or a Trust as circumstances change. Furthermore, the creative use of a “Power of Appointment” can effectuate certain estate planning strategies related to taxes, preservation of benefits, and asset protection. A “Power of Attorney” is a document that can be used to appoint a third party (an “Agent”) to make decisions on your behalf. A “Power of Attorney” can be “immediate,” meaning that as soon as you sign the document your Agent has immediate authority to act upon your behalf, or a “Power of Attorney” can be “springing,” meaning that your Agent has no authority unless you lose mental capacity to make decisions on your own. General Durable Power of Attorney v. Health Care Power of Attorney: A “General Durable Power of Attorney” typically will allow your Agent to make financial decisions on your behalf. Such decisions can include: writing checks, paying bills, opening bank accounts, closing bank accounts, re-financing real property, selling real property, buying real property, signing tax returns, dealing with retirement accounts, and getting your mail. A “Health Care Power of Attorney” will allow your Agent to make health care decisions on your behalf. Such decisions can include: opting in or out of certain medical procedures, choosing your treatment, choosing your medication, choosing your doctor, and deciding whether or not to maintain artificial life support in certain situations. Will v. Living Will: A “Will,” sometimes referred to as a “Last Will and Testament,” is a document that directs the disposition of your assets upon death and also allows you to nominate an Executor who will have the authority and responsibility to carry out your wishes as expressed in your Will. For most estates, a Will-based estate plan will lead to probate which is why many people prefer to utilize a “Revocable Living Trust” instead of a “Will.” A “Living Will” is a document that expresses your wishes as to how health care decisions should be made on your behalf if you are unable to make such decisions directly. A “Living Will” is essentially a document that gives guidelines to your Health Care Agent about how your Agent should carry out your wishes under the authority of the “Health Care Power of Attorney.” Advance Health Care Directive: An “Advance health Care Directive” combines a “Health Care Power of Attorney” with a “Living Will.” The first part of the “Advance Health Care Directive” will name your Health Care Agents who will have the authority to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself. The second part of the “Advance Health Care Directive” will give instructions and guidelines to your Health Care Agent about how to exercise his/her authority as your Health Care Agent. Testamentary Trust v. Living Trust: Historically, trusts were created through Wills. Upon the death of the testator (the “Will-maker”), after the probate settled the estate, instead of distributing the assets directly to the beneficiaries, the Will would create a “Testamentary Trust” that would govern the administration and distribution of the assets for the benefit of the beneficiary. As the probate process became more expensive and time-consuming, Estate Planning attorneys realized that the entire probate process could be avoided by creating Trusts while the testators were still living rather than waiting until the testators died. Thus a “Living Trust” is a trust that is created during the Trust-Maker’s lifetime rather than upon death. In addition to avoiding the additional expense and delay of probate, “Living Trusts” provide more privacy.

Meet The Author
Or Should we Say ‘Photographer?’
Judy Avila Making Memories
Will Furman tells tales and shows photos of our favorite ghost town, Bodie, California. A New “Adega” Comes to Life 2002 He offers a new way of looking at things The last feature I wrote was about a trip we took to the Azores in the year 2000. The title was: “TWENTY YEARS LATER.” My husband had inherited a one-room which can be mystifying or humorous. summer house—which Azoreans call an “adega”—from his parents. In 2000, before we left to come home to California, we made the decision as a family to remodel the little house, as it was still in the same condition that it was when first built in the early 1900s, with no electricity or water, no kitchen or bathroom.
Award winning photographer Will Furman will speak next week about his recent book, “Bodie - Good Times and Bad,” as part of the Meet the Author Series, a program of the Friends of the Pacific Grove Library. The event will take place next Thursday November 15, at the Pacific Grove Public Library, 550 Central Avenue. Doors open at 7:20 p.m. and the program starts at 7:30. Suggested donation of $10.00 to benefit the library is requested. Members of the Friends are admitted free, although donations are always welcome Furman has been a photographer and director for some 40 years and has more than 80 film and television programs to his credit. He has been awarded seven CINE Golden Eagles, three New York Film Festival Gold Awards, and over 50 other international film festival honors. A passionate conservationist, since 2005, Furman has focused his energies on capturing the most visually moving images of nature and animals worldwide. In his book, the ghost town of Bodie is captured in a mix of stunning modern day color photographs and historic ones in black and white. Using a photographic technique he developed (that he will show and explain in his presentation) and the vivid historical descriptions penned by Nicholas Clapp, Furman takes the reader of his new book, ”Bodie—Good Times and Bad” back in time. Of his new technique, Furman says: “The images can be mystifying or humorous, challenging or whimsical. It’s a new way of seeing.” Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Complimentary refreshments will be served.
We needed something simple, but with everyday modern conveniences; this meant we would add a kitchen and bathroom, make the existing room into the main family room and build an extra bedroom in the cellar. Before we left, we found a contractor that gave us an estimate for the project and told us it should be ready by the following year. The plan was in place and we were all very excited to see this become a reality. The following year, 2001, was very busy for us, as our youngest son and his fiancée got married, and our oldest son and his wife had their first baby, making us the proud grandparents of a grandson. Every now and then we would check in with my husband’s brother and his wife, as they were the ones to oversee the project and carry out the financial arrangement we had agreed on with the contractor. They were always positive that everything was coming along okay and if we had any questions, they would answer, but didn’t elaborate much and we were totally fine with whatever they thought was best. They sent a picture here and there as the construction was going up. By the end of the year things were pretty much done and we started making summer plans to go there for six weeks. I had gone back to work and this was all I could take. Our sons were ready to go again, but this time the wives were not able to go. The boys could only stay for a week or so. When July 2002 approached we were ready to fly. We arrived on the island of Pico on a beautiful day in the early afternoon. There were couple of nephews and my brother-in-law to pick us up. When we asked about the ladies, they told us they were home cooking for the family. We headed straight to the adega site. I really didn’t know what to expect, but we were excited. When we got there we saw this very attractive building, freshly painted with a deck, new windows, and a new door. It had doubled in size, though it was still small. The aroma coming out of the kitchen was unforgettable. The dinner was being cooked there. As we went in, we noticed it was complete with stove, fridge, and sink. The tile was very attractive with great taste matching the floors. The new bathroom was quite large with all the features necessary plus a bidet and hook-ups for the washer, all very attractive. The family room had a new ceiling, new window and hardwood floor, and looked a lot larger and more polished. My husband and I were just sobbing as we walked around the place, while our sons were taking pictures and filming everything. We couldn’t believe how it had turned out so wonderfully. I honestly don’t remember ever being so moved by the kindness of our family. They had put their heart and soul into this project just for us. It was more than words could describe how overwhelming this felt and how grateful we were. After the tour and all the “wows” and soaking all of this in, we sat there on the deck, overlooking the ocean and nearby lighthouse, for a very special meal the ladies had cooked in our kitchen for the entire family. My brother-in-law offered the prayer and thanked the Lord for our return. We really enjoyed the weeks we had to spend there this time. It was fun to shop for the rest of the furniture to make this summer place complete. From then on my husband and I went back every other year for the next 10 years. The last time we went it was a family reunion. Our oldest son, his wife and two grand-sons came along. It was a dream come true for my husband to show the grandkids the place where he was raised. Now it has been a while since we have been back, and my brother-in-law has passed on. My husband seems to be done traveling that far. His health is not great, but we enjoyed those trips and our little adega very much. It was great to spend time with our Azorean families and to have them over when we were there. Our children and grandchildren can enjoy it for many years to come, which gives us great pleasure.

Cake aux olives (Olive Loaf) Straight from France Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Monterey This recipe comes from a dear French friend of mine who is now a Californian. He just became a naturalized citizen a couple weeks ago…congratulations, Franck! He is one of the most kind-hearted, generous people I have the pleasure of calling my friend and he shared this recipe with me after I enjoyed the dish at his and his wife’s home in Monterey. It is an easy recipe to follow and will satisfy not only your friends, but your appetite, as well. While it’s called “cake” in French, the word best translates to loaf. It is a savory, dense, egg-based loaf with ham and olives. I like to use manzanilla olives, I find them to be more flavorful. Olive Cake Ingredients: 2 cups white wine, separated, one for you, one for the loaf; I used Chardonnay 1 cup olive oil 4 eggs 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon salt 1.5 cups flour 2 tps baking powder 1 cup ham, cooked, I used Trader Joe’s’ black forest ham 1 cup pitted green olives 2 cup grated gruyere Butter to grease the pan Preparation: Heat oven to 350˚F. Pour yourself a glass of wine in your favorite glass. Mine happens to be a pink and green crystal wine glass from my late, adopted grandma. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Cut the ham into small squares. Drain the olives and rinse them. Cut them in half crosswise (meaning cut at the fattest part of the olive). Eat an olive or two, they pair
greatly with your Chardonnay. Butter a 9” x 5” baking loaf pan, and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add the other cup of wine. Do it a little at a time mixing constantly so that the flour doesn’t get clumpy. Then add the olive oil in a few additions and mix really well. The smell might encourage you to get yourself a nice piece of bread for yourself to dip in your own olive oil, go ahead, enjoy. Cooking is a culinary experience best enjoyed with all the senses. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Next add the mustard and stir in thoroughly. Sprinkle in the salt and mix it in well. Add the ham, olives, and grated gruyere; mix well. Put the mix into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is slightly golden and the loaf has risen. It may bubble up on the edges with oil and that’s OK. While it’s baking grab your wine, any remaining ham and cheese, get cozy on the couch, and relax. You can rest in anticipation of a delightful treat in the oven. I actually like to eat this dish when it is cooled. And it’s great to make on the weekend to take along with me for breakfast at work. Or to pack in a picnic. You see what I’m saying. Bon appétit! I always love hearing feedback so feel free to write me at SallyBaho@gmail.com or visit my website at www.SallyBaho. com to read more about my adventures and thoughts.
Marine Life Studies Whale Entanglement Team Joins Monterey County Gives Through December 31, 2018 "The Monterey County Gives! campaign provides a vehicle to inspire local philanthropy at all levels." Our Whale Rescue Research Vessel must be managed and maintained for rapid deployment as a first response vessel that accommodates all tools, equipment, and personnel needed by the Whale Entanglement Team (WET)® to free whales from life-threatening entanglements in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS). The crisis of whale entanglement 2000-2013 - The average number of entangled whales in California was 17. 2014 – The total was again 17 for the state and ten (10) of those were found in our Sanctuary. 2015 – The total skyrocketed from an average of 17 over the past 14 years, to 48 in one year! 21 of the 48 whales were confirmed to have been found in MBNMS 2016 – Another record, 71 reports in one year! NOAA Fisheries reported this was the highest annual total of whale entanglements on the West Coast since they started keeping records in 1982. 48 of the 71 cases were confirmed via documentation - 24 were confirmed in the MBNMS 2017 – The percentage of entangled whales in California in our Sanctuary reached almost 50%. Donate now and make your investment in saving whales go further. Marine Life Studies' Whale Rescue Research Vessel is the rapid response vessel for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The vessel is also used as a train-
ing platform for WET® volunteers through our Research Scientist Program, providing trainees the opportunity to develop an understanding of whale behavior, collect data, use camera equipment, etc., all of which are vital when responding to entanglements. WET's continual training of disentanglement methods and tool usage is crucial for successful disentanglement responses. Your donation receives a prorated match.

Music Boosters Seek Volunteers for Half Marathon Dear PGUSD families and friends,
in order to make that happen. You can sign up here - 1. Go to: http://montereybay.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/… 2. Enter team password - for us it’s PGMusic 3. Click on appropriate shift(s) and fill out contact info. 4. Click “Join your team” button. T-shirts go to all volunteers, too.
It’s crunch time and I am in urgent need of MANY more volunteers for the Monterey Bay 1/2 Marathon. This has become an annual event for PG Music Boosters and is presently our number one income source. We are short of volunteers and in urgent need of more people to sign up. The task is simple - The event takes place the morning of Sunday November 11, from about 5:45 AM til about 9:30 AM. I need volunteers to staff course positions, move bike rake barriers into place and monitor the intersection to make sure no cars or other vehicles find their way onto the course. All anyone really needs is the ability to move the barricades (not that heavy), a lawn chair to sit on and perhaps a blanket and iPad or book or something else to pass the time while you cheer the runners on. Once all the volunteer positions are staffed I will be able to secure grant money for Pacific Grove Music Boosters - but I have got to get the minimum # of volunteers
If you have any questions just email me at misterswanson@gmail.com or call - 831-601-1260 Thank you Brian Swanson

And this week we’ve got a big winning duo. This is yet, another example of PGPD being the bigger person, for the greater good. See below. Verbal dispute\Arkwright Court. - A male and female were involved in a verbal altercation after a possible collision in their parking space. Both parties were uncooperative and refused to provide information. - I know why these people were uncooperative. It is because they are selfish and rude. The PGPD was simply trying to sort things out. Yet, the bad attitude of these selfish and rude people is now well documented; in my beloved: “Shit head of the Week Award.” Operator, I’d like to place a call… Ransford Ave. - A cell phone was taken from an unlocked vehicle overnight.

CEDAR STREET SUMMIT—Part 14 “I KEPT ASKING GOD WHY? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?” Wanda Sue Parrott
Homeless in Paradise As the bus stopped so did my heart. Exiting the vehicle slowly, I walked towards the gate. My feet felt like stone. Ahead, there was a building with a sign that said “Crematorium.”
Flying Old Glory at half-mast—again— isn’t working! If today weren’t “The Day of the Dead” in Latinx communities, the pre-election week headlines might pass as coincidentally bad--if not downright fake— news.
Looking at the barbed wire surrounding the camp, my footsteps faltered. Seeing the sign, a deep sobbing from within me erupted. I could not stop crying.
But facts don’t lie. Refugees are migrating north in a caravan as wide as a human river and deep as the Trail of Tears death march that relocated eastern Cherokees to Oklahoma dumping grounds called “The Nations” in 1838-1839.
Normally, I am a suspicious New Yorker so what happened next was inexplicable. A stranger approached and put his arms around me…held me tenderly as my sorrow ran its course.
Fifty years later, feds seized the territory and, in April 1889, staged a day-long Land Rush allowing white settlers to grab acreage, lay claim to it, and, in less than 24 hours, stake out Oklahoma City. In 1990, Native Americans were relegated to reservations.
“Who ARE you?” I asked rudely when I “came to.”
PHOTO: SCULPTURE AT DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP MEMORIALIZING JEWISH VICTIMS FROM 1933 TO 1945, SHOWN HERE IN HONOR OF VICTIMS OF LAST WEEK’S MASSACRE AT THE TREE OF LIFE SYNAGOGUE IN PITTSBURGH. PHOTO COURTESY OF CLIP ART
Article 8, UN’s “Declaration of Human Rights”: Will the caravan wind up as mass genocide, invading thugs, or a vast concentration camp at our border? Will the president’s sending of 5,200 troops to provide logistical back up for border guards be a threat to refugees’ rights under Article 8 of the United Nations’ “Declaration of Human Rights”? The article says: Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent nationl tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him/her by the constitution or by law. Speculation about the caravan was interrupted by news of Saturday’s massacre of eleven Jews at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. It revived my memories of standing before two brick ovens in the Krematorium at Dachau Concentration Camp in 1973 and feeling such heat from the terror and helplessness of victims, who faced being shoveled like raw pizza dough into the inferno, that I fainted and awoke sobbing on the ground. Tour guides advised in German and English: No living persons were cremated. Unbelievable! CeliaSue Hecht’s version About then, absentee Summiteer CeliaSue Hecht returned with her own version of true horror. “A 97-year- old Holocaust survivor was murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh this week. She survived Hitler but not Trump,” CeliaSue wrote. “This is for her.”
“Just someone who cares, ” he replied softly. This teacher was from New Zealand and offered me companionship for the day. I turned down his kind offer because I needed some alone time. To see the camp for myself. To spend time in prayer.
…I had assumed that the only other people who would be visiting Dachau would be Jewish folks from around the world. It never occurred to me that people from faraway places like New Zealand would want to visit Dachau. While touring the camp all day, I kept asking God Why… How could you do this? I felt angry, sad and many emotions. The photos of stereotypical Jews, the Kristallnacht, and the arm bands… I wanted answers. I wanted peace and understanding. Hours later…I met the high school girls from New Zealand. They were crying and put their arms around me and apologized to me for what happened during the Holocaust. I realized this was why I went on this journey. To put to rest the doubts, fears and terrors of the Holocaust. To forgive the Germans and the Nazis for the wrongdoing so that I could still believe and have faith in God… I had grown up angry and afraid of the Germans. My family and many Jewish people I knew hated the Germans…now, I could finally let go…the bitter hatred I did not even know I had dissipated. And I felt FREE. What do do? CeliaSue, 68, a spiritual person raised by Jewish parents, shares a van with her dog Cici. In need of breast cancer surgery and an angioplasty, she hopes to secure a trailer or tiny home, as well as help caring for Cici, before proceeding. If you can help, contact CS HECHT at 702-225-8206

Dachau. Bergen-Belsen. Auschwitz. I didn’t want to visit ex-concentration camp sites while I was visiting Germany in 1988 but it somehow seemed inevitable…where would I go to find a concentration camp?
As to presidential fear mongering about the caravan, FOX’s Shep Smith said last Monday:
I was in the Frankfurt area…working for the Stars and Stripes newspaper. I decided to call the local library… a librarian told me there were no such things as “conzentrationlagers”… a male voice unexpectedly interrupted…gave me a phone number… the phone went dead. I made the phone call at the appointed time. Albert “just happened” to be passing by when he heard my conversation with the librarian…and he was eager to assist me. A few days later, we met in Darmstadt, and he gave me a ticket to Dachau near Munich. The day I traveled was dark and somber, befitting my mood. The leftover snow looked as old and muddy as I felt. Normally, in Germany when you are in public, everyone speaks German. But on this day, everyone near to me spoke English…a group of New Zealand high school students was visiting Dachau and would take this journey with me.
“The migrants are two months away if they make it here at all. Tomorrow is one week before the midterm election, which is what all of this is about. There is no invasion. No one is coming to get you. There is nothing to worry about.” How about a 21st-century Border Rush giving asylum to all who enter the US in one day? Writer Harold E. Grice suggests: if you favor this idea, offer asylum to a migrant in your home, at your own expense.

A letter from the Soon-To-BeFormer Mayor Editor (delivered Tues., Nov. 5, 2018),
It’s a big day today. I look forward to learning the election results and beginning to coordinate the transition to a new mayor for our city. Until the transition is complete, we still have a bit of business to do with our current council. Election Day It’s today; please vote! You have probably already mailed your ballot. If not, it’s going to be a lovely day for stopping by your polling place. Your vote is important at every level of the ballot, and especially so for this election. We have national, state, and local topics vital to our future. Let’s keep Pacific Grove at the top of the chart in Monterey County for voter turnout. This evening, as polls are closing, Cheryl and I will walk over to the Monarch Pub for conversation and to watch the national and local results with several of our local candidates who will be there. We expect to be there around 7:30 pm. I hope you will drop by to say hello, and to talk with our local candidates. There’s a great slate on the ballot to fill the open seats on our council. National results should be coming in by then. Local results will pop up sometime between 8:45 and 9:30 pm, and that’s always a guess on timing. By the end of this evening, we will know the results of our local races, unless they are very close. Typically, only half the ballots are counted at this point, and very close races can shift when the full count is completed. Timeline for the New Council There is an extended process before the results of an election become official. Monterey County Elections has 30 days to complete and validate the counts. Usually, we receive the official results just before our first meeting in December. That means the timeline is: November 6 – Election Day November 7 – Council meeting with the current council November 28 – Council meeting with the current council December 5 – Council receives official results from County Elections Department and certifies the Pacific Grove results as the first order of business. The new mayor and council are sworn in. There is a ceremonial period for the swearing in, and the farewell to departing councilmembers. Then the new council members take their seats, and the business of the city resumes, in new hands. Coming Up Tomorrow, at our November 7 regular council meeting fire and water are the main topics. We will consider giving direction to staff to negotiate a new contract for fire services with the City of Monterey. Monterey is currently our provider and we seek some adjustments to the contract. We will also consider some significant updates to our policies regarding water availability in Pacific Grove. That includes the traditional priorities on our water wait list, and the prospect of making new water entitlements available from our Local Water Project. We have moved our regular November 21 meeting to November 28 to keep clear of Thanksgiving Holiday. On November 28 we will be taking some form of action on the long awaited Local Coastal Plan for Pacific Grove. So far, this project has been over 30 years in the making. As always, I invite your comments on any of these topics. Best wishes, Bill Kampe, Mayor Website: www.billkampe.org
Opinion
Half Marathon coming November 11 Dear Pacific Grove Neighbor:
The 16th Presentation of the Monterey Bay Half Marathon (formerly called the Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay) is coming to town on Sunday, November 11, 2018 along the scenic PG waterfront and through the downtown area. On Saturday morning, November 10, we'll also be featuring our successful fun runs, the Pacific Grove Lighthouse 5K and our By the Bay 3K on a beautiful waterfront-only route from Lovers Point to Pt. Pinos. A map of the race routes through PG and a full course map including the Monterey section, can also be found on our website, www.montereybayhalfmarathon.org. Each year we work closely with Pacific Grove staff and public safety to minimize any inconvenience these events may impose on our residents. We hope race weekend is an exciting and enjoyable experience for participants and spectators alike. We encourage you to come cheer on the runners and listen to the variety of musical groups we have placed along the course. We also welcome your participation in our Saturday shorter distance fun runs – registration is available online or during the event weekend. We appreciate your cooperation, patience, and understanding. This event is organized by the non-profit Big Sur Marathon Foundation. We work hard to execute successful events so that we can give back to charities in the community. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the Big Sur Marathon Foundation office at 625-6226. Sincerely, The Board & Staff of the Big Sur Marathon Foundation
Thank you for Measure M Editor,
Margaret Mead, the American cultural anthropologist, once said, “ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed,it’s the only thing that ever has.” I want to thank Jenny McAdams and Luke Coletti for organizing a small group of thoughtful citizens to take back our residential districts, to stand up for neighbors, and to send a strong message to City Council and the mayor. We want neighbors in our neighborhoods! Zoning Matters! Neighbors Matter! Housing for LOCALS Matter! Thank you for voting YES on Measure M and for preserving and protecting America’s Last Home Town.

What does God say about the mystery of Christ? Bill Cohen
Reasoning With God
The Jews knew the Messiah was coming, Dan 9:25, “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.” But, they did not recognize Him, Jn 4:25-26, “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.” Jesus told them he would be resurrected, but they chose to misunderstand, Jn 2:19-21, “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.” Paul explains the mystery of His will, which helps us understand that the blood of Jesus’ sacrifice will save all who believe in Him, in spite of their previous sins, Eph 1:7-9, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:” Part of the great mystery of Christ is that so many people choose not to see the truth, even some who witnessed His miracles, His healing power and His resurrecting of the dead, Jn 11:41-44, “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.” Today, many ignore the historical evidence of Jesus’ existence and His sacrifice on the cross even though there are plenty of non-Christian references, from that period, in existence today. If Jesus is the Messiah, could anything in this life be more important than examining the evidence? Yet,
mysteriously people refuse to consider the evidence and accept unfounded rumors instead. Another part of the mystery of Christ is that history keeps unfolding in a way that conforms to the plan He chose, thus fulfilling His prophecies. This is happening, even though many of our leaders have used evil means in an attempt to achieve ends that oppose His plan. A few names come to mind; Emperor Diocletian, Emperor Shapur II, Emperor Constantine, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot. This is but a small sampling of the leaders who have tried to eliminate the freedoms Christianity advocates. Eventually, all of them failed, and God’s prophecies continue to be fulfilled. Another part of the mystery of Christ is the many chains of people who have answered the call to spread the Word of God, here is just one chain; D. L. Moody to F. B. Meyer to J. Wilbur Chapman to Billy Sunday to Mordecai Hamm to Billy Graham to the millions he led to Christ. Paul discusses part of the mystery in, Eph 3:3-6, “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:” So, the mystery that salvation was not just for the Jews, but for everyone who accepts Jesus as their savior, was kept hidden until Jesus began His ministry. Jesus gave many clues in His parables, but apparently, those who knew the scriptures chose to ignore them, Rom 16:25, “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” Part of Jesus’ mission was to prepare the way for the Holy Spirit, who has been sent to help us understand God’s plan, Jn 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in

my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” God asks us to reason with Him, but He never forces us, Is 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” He wants us to understand He has invited everyone to be part of His eternal family, not just some chosen few, 1 Tim 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” When we begin to do our part in spreading His Word, it is the Holy Spirit who bring us the words when we need them, Ex 4:10-12, “And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.” and Col 4:3, “Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:” Just another part of the mystery! We think we are very clever; however, God reminds us, Is 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” He wants us to remember we did not create this world and nothing we do can stop His will from being fulfilled, Eph 3:9-11, “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:” He keeps teaching us that we all have a part to play in His plan and He calls us to shine His light so others might find the path to Him, Rom 10:14-17, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” and to remind us He has left us His Word to help us on our journey to Him, Eph 3:4, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)” Jesus has promised to return to take His family home, Jn 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” He knew many would try to pervert His Truth and weaken the hearts of those who believe, so He left us hope, Col 2:2, “That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;” He calls us to understand the mystery, which brings us that needed hope, Col 1:27, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” All who preach the Truth are doing God’s work, 1 Cor 2:7, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:” May we all work to fulfill God’s calling in us, 2 Tim 4:2-5, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” Are we living in “the time will come?” If you have comments about the blog you just read, want to express an opposing opinion, have suggestions for future topics, and/or want me to email you the blog weekly, just email me at bill@reasoningwithgod.com.

Marge Ann Jameson Book Review
Is Pacific Grove...
Whether he’s writing under his own name or his popular pen name of Sterling Johnson, fans depend on local author Jeffrey Whitmore for a good read with lots of action and quick wit, much like his current hero, Preston “Presto” Kane in “A Quaint Town for a Killing.” Maybe in the Northeast there’s another “Quaint Town for a Killing,” but we’re concentrating on Pacific Grove...and Monterey, Carmel Valley, and Cachagua where Whitmore’s descriptions put us squarely in familiary territory. But “This is a work of fiction. Names, character,businesses, places, events and incidents are eiher products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner.” Still and all, it’s easy to imagine ourselves in the middle of the action. A man’s body has been found at Lovers Point. The task of identifying him and who (and why) someone wanted him dead becomes, in Whitmore’s words, “like trying to stuff a dead body into a wet suit.” There are twists and turns and red herrings, confusion and mistaken identities. But Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade got nothin’ on Presto Kane as he unravels the threads and answers the questions. It all comes down to an extremely valuable diamond which is coming up for auction soon, some beautiful women, and a bad cop. Thoroughly enjoyable, even for folks who don’t recognize the scenery, “A Quaint Town for a Killing” is a can’t-put-it-down read even if the plot twists are hard to decipher. Oh, and Sterling, next time give your hero a cell phone! It would save a lot of time in the story that could be spent on more twists and turns! Published by Pacific Grove Books, “A Quaint Town for a Killing” is available on Amazon and Kindle.

Hospice Giving Foundation Seeks to Increase Public Awareness
Hospice Giving Foundation celebrates National Hospice and Palliative Care Month every November to increase public awareness about the benefits of hospice and palliative care. This year’s theme is “My Hospice. A Program that Works. A Benefit that Matters.” What began as primarily a volunteer-driven, grassroots movement in the 1970s, hospice is now an integrated part of our nation’s health care delivery system providing care to more than 1.43 million Medicare beneficiaries and their families every year. A Medicare benefit since 1982, hospice focuses on providing comfort, relieving pain and offering support to patients and their family caregivers, and provides bereavement services to people following the death of a loved one. Hospice Care in America: • 48 percent of Medicare decedents were enrolled in hospice at the time of death (in 2016). • Median length of service was 24 days. • 5 percent of patients received care for 90 days or less, while those receiving care for more than 180 days accounted for 13.6 percent. • Cancer was the most common principle diagnosis, accounting for 27.2 percent of patients; increasing among the patient populations is a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia which accounts for 18 percent.
• 98 percent of care was provided at the Routine Home Care level. • Nearly 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries receive hospice care for seven days or less, a period considered too short to take full advantage of the many services the hospice interdisciplinary team offers. “One of the most common regrets we hear from hospice patients and their families is they delayed the decision to choose hospice care. This underscores the need for advance care planning and education on options when approaching end of life,” says Siobhan Greene, President and CEO of Hospice Giving Foundation. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis. A patient may receive life-prolonging therapy while under palliative care. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care patients can transition to hospice after receiving a diagnosis of six-month or less life expectancy.

Greene is available for interviews and background on a variety of end-of-life topics.
