Unofficial election results
Fischer seated, Measure Q fails By Marge Ann Jameson
Despite garnering a clear majority which any political candidate would envy, Measure Q, at 61.15 percent as of press time, went down to defeat. It needed 66.67 percent to win. The total votes, which are at this time
unofficial, were 2,827 for and 1,796 against the item. In November, 2009 Measure J faced similar numbers: 2,747 or 65.91 percent were for the parcel tax measure and 1,421 or 34.09 percent were against it. A special property tax, Measure Q would have added $90 per year to single property tax bills and $45 per unit to commercial property taxes to pay for
Pacific Grove’s crippled public library, now struggling to meet the public’s needs in only 24 open hours per week. The entire city council supported the measure. Said council member Bill Kampe, “They really did a class act” referring to the backers of Measure Q. Well and clearly written, the measure

Green Building Ordinance passes By Marge Ann Jameson Hoping to fend off a state-mandated "green" building ordinance ahead of a January, 2011 deadline, the City of Pacific Grove has adopted a tailor-made version of the state's "Cal Green" program after a few clarifications were made to the second reading of the proposed ordinance. The ordinance will not only beat the state's deadline, but will also meet the U.N. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, which Pacific Grove signed earlier, and meet requirements of the Urban Environmental Accords. John Kuehl had recommended using U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) standards, industry-accepted green building guidelines that have been used all over California. His recommendation was to use the guidelines -- but not to go after LEED certification. And it appears there is a good reason not to cite LEED in the ordinance: architect and past mayor Jeanne Byrne told the council that the U.S.GBC's LEED standard was under fire and facing a lawsuit over its practices, and stands accused of fraud, racketeering, false advertising and more. Byrne asked the council not to tie the oridinace with LEED and avoid any advertising of energy savings with the Green Building Ordinance. "Unlicensed people are taking over the standards," she said.

Cop log PG Dog Gone Dog Report Possible coyote attack Officer was dispatched to the Forest Lodge area about a dead cat. Upon officer’s arrival, the reporting woman showed the officer two rear paws from a domestic cat. The paws were black and had belonged to a domestic short hair cat.
Cat and Dog claim irreconcilable differences
Police were contacted by a woman regarding a cat she can no longer care for. She had taken the cat in but after some time realized her dog and the cat did not get along. She relinquished the cat to PG animal control.
After a series of public meetings involving feedback and recommendations from property owners, developers, the Architectural Review Board, the Historic Resource Committee and the Planning Commission, plus the Pacific Grove Green Building Subcommittee, the Green Building Ordinance was drafted to include a number of "Greenpoints" required before a residential project would be issued a building permit. "It is molded into the needs of the local building industry," said Keuhl. While there are exemptions, the result will be that Pacific Grove will obtain a higher point threshold on new construction than that of the private sector. And should the City itself undertake any building over 1000 square feet (as one councilmember joked, "sometime in the next millenium") LEED standards — but not necessarily certification — would come into play. "Most standards are private companies," said council member Bill Kampe. "We need an independent point of reference and LEED seems to be it," he added. Once it was vetted by City Attorney Dave Laredo to be consistent with the original intent, the ordinance was adopted.
Recidivist Doggy: Big Bad Bichon
Now, this is not the first time this little guy has appeared in the PG Dog Gone Dog Report. Officer was dispatched to the Gate St. area of PG. On arrival the officer picked up a male Bichon. The officer went to the address of the known humans (where the big boy lives) to try to contact them about their habitual runaway. No one was home. He was transported to the city yard pending owner contact. Now let’s refresh, folks. If you have an animal, it is your responsibility to make sure they are cared for and safe. That means keeping them fed, watered, leashed, babysat, or indoors when you are not home (and of course loved). It is not okay to let your dogs run willy-nilly.
The case of the missing election signs or; Someone just got sick of looking at them all. A woman called in to report that at the intersection of David Ave. and Forest Ave. there were several election signs posted on Country Club Gate property. She said on 10/26/2010 was the last time she had seen the signs; she called Public Works to see if they had picked up the signs and they said they had not. The police have no suspects at this time.
My driveway is not a parking lot
Officer was flagged down by a citizen in front of their residence in the Grove Acre Ave. area. The citizen advised a unidentified vehicle was parked in the driveway of their home, which is currently for sale. The officer did an area check for the owner of the vehicle with negative results. The reporting person requested that the vehicle be cited and would contact police at a later time if additional service was needed.
Holiday blood drive to begin
Busy schedules during the holiday season mean fewer people donate blood — at a time when the need is historically high. To ensure that supply keeps up with demand, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is launching its annual Gift of Life blood drive on Nov. 13 at Del Monte Center. The holiday drive continues through the end of the year, with mobile blood drives and at the Blood Center in Monterey. More than 800 people took part last year, and the goal is to exceed that number this year. “We encourage people to give as a gift to the community since all the blood we collect stays here,” says Sharon Paddock, supervisor of Community Hospital’s Blood Center. “It takes less than one hour of time to donate, but the results are priceless. One pint of blood can save up to three lives.” Donors who give during the Gift of Life campaign will receive a pocket calendar, be entered into drawings for prizes, and be recognized in newspaper advertising about the drive if they desire. More information on donating, including dates and locations of mobile blood drives, is available online at www.chomp.org. The kick-off drive is from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13 at Del Monte Shopping Center, near the Century Theatre. Appointments to donate at the Blood Center may be scheduled by calling 625-4814, but drop-ins are welcome. Please call for hours.
Mysterious tree topper at large
In the Ridge Rd. area a person called in to report damage to a tree. They advised that a newly planted redwood had approximately one and a half feet broken off of the top of it. The reporting person is a volunteer in the area where numerous trees have been planted over the past two years. The tree stood approximately 7 feet tall prior to damage. The reporting person stated that the tree is healthy and would not be replaced, nor did they believe a value could be determined. The cause of the damage was unknown. (This is PG folks. I think we know what happened.) And he requested that the information be documented.
OOPS
On Forest Ave. in front of City Hall a report came in that the light post had been taken out. A man in a truck misjudged the rear end swing of his truck (I’d say he did) and struck a light pole as he tried to enter traffic. No one was injured in the incident. (How long do we think it’s going to take to replace it? Will we have to vote on it? Warning: Add this to the adjacent street light that’s not working, and you will find there is no light at all now in the block of Forest below Pine Ave. Bring flashlights if you’re out at night in that area. )

Gee, who do you think they were rooting for? The Bookers on Cedar Street left little doubt about who they were cheering for during the World Series. Their Halloween pumpkin said it all.
p ELECTION From Page 1 seemed to meet objections expressed by voters over the older Measure J. The recent measure included a sunset clause, it earmarked the funds solely for the library, and included provisions for those unable to pay. Apparently it wasn’t enough. Though a library summit last spring had established that a parcel tax was the best solution for the library, a minority of voters were not convinced and were able to keep the measure from passing. Library supporters are regrouping for another try at funding sources. They have already begun working on the establishment of a foundation, similar to the foundations that seem to be rescuing the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and the Pt. Piños Lighthouse, both of which were languishing as the city struggled to meet financial obligations. The Museum is now celebrating record attendance and increased numbers of events and special programs.

There are still some 20,000 votes county-wide to be counted, according to Monterey County elections. They expect to have those votes, mostly absentee votes turned it at the last minute, counted by Friday, Nov. 5. There is no way of knowing how many of those votes are from Pacific Grove, but chances of a reversal of the outcome are very slim indeed. Those margins will likely not make a difference in the outcome of votes for council members, either, where margins were wider. As of Nov. 5, Mayor Carmelita Garcia, who ran unopposed, gained 3,503 votes. Incumbents Daniel Miller and Robert Huitt were running for two-year seats. Miller received 2,768 votes and Huitt received 2,742. Full-term candidates Alan Cohen, with 2,546 votes, and Ken Cuneo, with 2,557 votes, were re-elected to four-year seats. Newcomer Rudy Fischer was also seated, having received 2,209 votes. Richard Ahart received 1,927 votes. Measure R, which made small changes to the pension reform legislation passed by the city council, received 3,103 yes votes and 1,075 no votes, passing by 74.27 percent to 25.73 percent. Pacific Grove’s former police chief, Scott Miller, brother of council member Dan Miller and also a former council member, was elected Monterey County Cheriff over incumbent Mike Kanalakis. The margin was 32,495 for Miller and 25,484 for Kanalakis. The election will be certified within 30 days.

Young Writers’ Corner Pens by Eugenia Wang
I smoke pens like cigarettes Melt the ink and plastic and breathe in the poison My lungs are black like they’ve been written on. I breathe it out ten times worse, The smell of burning rubber staying where I hold the grip And black spit drips down my chin and grays my paper To stain my hands like cancer. This is a quaint thought Written in ink because my mouth is black and stuck together. I hold a pen between two fingers Then between my teeth. I never gave it a second thought.

Jury finds Wilcox not guilty
After a trial lasting more than three months, the jury found Grady J. Willock, a corporal of Company H, Eighth Infantry, Presidio, not guilty. Willock had been charged with the murder of Jose Parara, a Monterey fisherman. The jury, into whose hands the fate of Willock had been placed the day before, was locked in deliberations exactly twenty-four hours before they were able to agree upon a verdict. The crime for which Willock was tried was committed on the night of Sunday, April 3rd. Willock was paying court to Miss Marie Parara against the wish of Miss Parara’s brother, Jose, Parara, a Monterey fisherman, who accused Willock of inducing his sister to go into the rear rooms of Monterey saloons. He forbade Willock to pay further attention to his sister and, three nights prior to the shooting of Jose, the two men had a personal encounter. During this incident, Parara slapped Willock’s face and struck him two blows to the body. He concluded his assault by advising Willock that the next time he caught the couple together he would “do Willock grave bodily harm.” * Willock then purchased a revolver before his Sunday night date with Miss Parara. Jose found them out, whereupon he again attacked Willock. The young suitor pulled his revolver and shot Jose. It was a difficult case to decide, as was evidenced by their long deliberation, but the members of the jury finally determined that the shooting was done in self-defense. The major factor, jury members reported, was that Jose had threatened Grady beforehand. District Attorney Bardin prosecuted. B. A. Herrington defended. Willock told the press that he planned to complete his tour of duty, withdraw from the military, and return to his home in Kentucky. Because of the shooting, Willock said that he has no plans to continue dating Miss Parara.
New road to Tahoe open
This will come as welcome news to all who have invested in one of the newfangled auto mobiles. The new road to Lake Taoe via Auburn and Emigrant Gap has been completed. Long before the railroad line was laid, this was the road used by the Overland stage line. After the railroad became operational, use of the road dwindled away to almost nothing. It was not kept in good repair and the autoist who tried to follow it could count on his share of headaches. A bill was introduced and passed by the legislature declaring the portion of the old road between Emigrant Gap and Donner Lake a California state highway. During the past two years many thousands of dollars have been expended in putting this road in shape. Since recent completion of work, several touring parties have passed over the road on the way to Lake Tahoe and Reno. Along the way, the road passes through some of the old mining camps from ’49. It is one of the loveliest and most interesting drives in the entire state. Operators are advised to carry extra fuel.
** The “Military Tournament” involved pitting men and groups of men against each other in events once popular at medieval events. The author is at a loss to explain the term “kojuff”. It may have been a coined term.
Church celebrates 100 years with an organ concert Organ installed in 1916
By Cameron Douglas Technically, the Mayflower Church has been around in different forms and denominations for 119 years; but on Nov. 14 it will celebrate 100 years in its current building. The massive brick-faced structure on the corner of 14th and Central went up after a fire destroyed the original wooden church in 1910. Known today as the Mayflower Presbyterian Church, it stands as solid as ever. On Sunday, Nov. 14, a centennial celebration will include social gatherings, a Sunday service and a free organ concert featuring several area church organists. The church’s elegant pipe organ is something of a local celebrity in itself; standing as the oldest, intact, originally installed pipe organ in Monterey County. The California Organ Company built the original organ, installed at Mayflower in 1916. That organ was later “married” to another organ built by Murray Harris. Some specs on the organ: “Romantic-Symphonic” design; 1,200 pipes (for now); Two percussion stops; 20 ranks (for now) Organist Tom DeLay reports more pipes will soon be added and the organ’s rating will increase to 32 ranks, or ranges. The instruments it can mimic include trumpet, oboe, clarinet and “every shape and size of flute you can imagine,” says DeLay. Where: Mayflower Presbyterian Church, 141 14th St., PG When: Sunday, Nov. 14 starting at 9 am. Services at 10:15. Organ concert at 2 pm. Everyone is welcome.
Great Military Tournament set
Jason MacDuff of Tacoma traveled to the Grove to invite members of Young Men’s Christian Association affiliation to participate in the Great Military Tournament. These games will take place in the Tacoma high school stadium. MacDuff said that he wished to make it easy for every kojuff within reach of Tacoma to view or compete in the tournament MacDuff reported that reduced rates for competitors had been arranged for rail transportation. He also stated that many may be kept away because Tacoma has a reputation of being short in housing and it’s hard to find a good place to eat. **
Governor Folk at the Grove
Former governor Joseph W. Folk arrived in the Grove today and he spent the greater part of his time after arrival in viewing the beauties of this vicinity. He was taken by auto mobile around the Grove, and then to Pebble Beach where his entourage paused for lunch. Folk stated that his ride around the Pacific Improvement Company’s forest reservation was no less that spectacular. The governor was accompanied by his friend John Butler, Superior Court Judge V. V. Sargent, Dr. W. C. Evans, Rev. Thomas Filben, W. W. Gollin, and J. P. Pryor.

* What was allegedly being done in the “rear rooms” of Monterey taverns was not noted in the news report. Many 1910 taverns operated gambling tables there. It seems unlikely that Grady, 26 years old, was offering his girlfriend as a prostitute; his personal credentials seem too polished.

Serrena heals body, mind and spirit Fundraiser will help those who can’t afford, but need, their services
By Fred Hernandez Aileen Mateo of Pacific Grove had a youthful passion – to travel the world. So she enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and landed a career in the medical field. As a medical technician in the OB/ GYN wards, Aileen (whose friends call her Mattie) is proud of the fact that she helped deliver 82 babies. The problems began when she suffered a back injury on the job. She underwent a laminectomy and a discectomy on her lower spine and ultimately she was medically discharged. Aileen was diagnosed with major depression, “primarily because I kept getting re-injured.” Then things got worse. “In September 2009, I had an abnormal mammogram. More tests were ordered and biopsies done, and on Nov 12, 2009, I was diagnosed with cancer in my left breast.” She got involved with the Breast Care Center and the Comprehensive Cancer Center at CHOMP. That’s where she met Joy Smith, a Serrena board member and fellow resident of Pacific Grove. After Joy did a brief intake interview, she recommended that Aileen attend the Wednesday Cancer Support Group for Newly Breast Cancer Diagnosis, and the Cancer Journey lecture classes. “When I began experiencing anxiety and some distressing feelings, Joy referred me to Serrena, the Center for Integrative Therapies. That’s where I was assigned to Dr. Veronica Reis, an oncology psychologist who helped me express my feelings about breast cancer, and deal with this journey. I have sessions with Dr. Reis every other week and she helps me let my feelings out, which is difficult for me. She is very patient and helps me with depression and anxiety. Having breast cancer unfortunately also stirred up some feelings that I had suppressed many, many years ago.” Aileen inquired about other services at Serrena “because I thought I would also benefit by seeing an acupuncturist and massage therapist. I was directed to Kaz Wegmuller, and he has been a blessing! I used a cane because of some imbalance and a weak left leg, one of results of the laminectomy and discectomy. I see Kaz every other Friday and he does wonders with his magic hands!” Kaz works on her numbness, nerves that are regenerating in different parts of the body, and relieves the kinks in her muscles. “I find I am so relaxed and free of pain for most of the days following therapy. That has not happened in close to 20 years!” she said. “My friends see a big difference in me… I see things positively now and I am smiling more. Kaz also shows me exercises I do every day at home to keep my muscles loose, and strengthen weak muscles. “As a result, I seldom have to use the cane!” She has high praise for the practitioners at Serrena. “I like the informal, friendly approach. They are very good listeners. They can laugh with me and show compassion. I know they really care.” Aileen was experiencing financial difficulties at the time and was interviewed by Serrena’s Executive Director Ratna Anagol, also a Pacific Grove resident. “We decided on a sliding scale for payments. This has worked out very well for me and I am happy about it.”

Stevenson student gains photo scholarship
David Matthews has won second place in University Language Services’ scholarship photo contest for high school students visiting college campuses. Experiencing a new kind of community is what college is all about, said David Matthews, the second place winner in the fall 2010 scholarship photo contest sponsored by University Language Services. “I’m looking forward to getting support from people that share my interests and can act as both teachers and friends,” said Matthews, a senior at Stevenson High School in Pebble Beach. Hundreds of students submitted photos that they felt represented college best, and the theme of belonging and unity was pervasive. David Matthews’s photo of the David Matthews marching band practicing on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder portrays a “community, a group where everyone shares a common interest and can forget their differences.” For Matthews, finding the “community” in which you belong is what the college experience is all about. “For me, this photo represents the community and unity I seek in a college. Even though the University of Colorado at Boulder is a huge place, it is important to find your own group, niche, or, in a sense, community. This scene shows Boulder’s marching band practicing in front of the striking Business School and the beautiful three flat-irons on the mountain. For me, this marching band is a type of community, a group where everyone shares a common interest and can forget their differences of all types. While every person is different in their looks, type, feel, and personality, a place where everyone is similar is a special place to have,” he said. “In this case, it’s the marching band; it could be something completely different for you, though. Yours might be your hall in a dorm, your English class, your Environmental Club, anything; look and you will find unity and community anywhere you look. This is especially important due to the fact that college is an experience many are unprepared for.”

Friends for life
Matt Tenzer (right) studies a medical form with his friend Bente Avery. Photo
by Chip Scheuer.
By Cameron Douglas Bente Avery’s father died young at only 42 years of age, when a genetic kidney defect ended his life. It wasn’t sudden either. With numerous tumors growing in his kidneys, Mr. Avery suffered for many years and underwent primitive forms of dialysis until his organs finally gave up. Bente Avery dealt with the same condition all her life until failure of her own kidneys became imminent. Dialysis would help, but a transplant needed to happen. So Avery looked around for a donor and found Santa Cruz resident Matt Tenzer, the husband of her longtime friend Adrienne Kozlowski. The three are like family. Matt stepped right up to the task. Avery, a native of Norway, had gone back and forth between Norway and the U.S. for most of her life before settling in Monterey 11 years ago. Since then, her health gradually declined until the situation became critical. She is grateful for the skill demonstrated by her medical team (“the technology has gotten way better”), but expressed some unhappiness with American health insurance company policies. “They only allow you to test one [potential] donor at a time,” she said. “You could die waiting.” Fortunately, she chose Tenzer

to be tested first, and the subsequent tests and tissue matching proved him suitable. But those tests took the better part of a year to complete. The two took up residence on the ninth floor of the UC San Francisco hospital. Before and after the surgery, they took turns ambling across the floor to visit each other, pushing their IV carts along. They kept in constant contact. “We always called and said ‘goodnight’ and ‘good morning,’” says Avery. Tenzer’s kidney removal procedure used less invasive laparoscopic techniques, which include the use of tiny cameras. He actually has a DVD movie of his own kidney departing from his body. Surgeons pushed CO2 gas into his abdominal cavity to spread the organs apart. Preparations were made to remove his left kidney. They then made a small slit, reached in and pulled the kidney out. For Avery, the procedure involved quite a bit more. And where Tenzer is down to one kidney, Avery now has three. “It’s more dangerous to remove the old kidney, and would make for a longer recuperation time,” she explains. According to her surgeon, there is one transplant recipient who is toting five kidneys around. Avery has now been discharged from the hospital. With the worst of it behind her, she feels “so relieved and happy.” She will need to stay close to the hospital and check in weekly for about two months. Avery is taking medications to prevent infection and tissue rejection, and will have to remain on some of those medications for the rest of her life. Avery looks forward to resuming her work with Child’s Behavior Health of Monterey County just as soon as she can. “It’s intense work, but I love it,” she says. Meanwhile, the two friends are keeping in touch and joke about Tenzer’s “visitation rights” to his kidney. Tenzer is recovering at home. Movement is difficult with the CO2 still being absorbed through his body, but the days are getting better. “I’m not doing this again,” he quips dryly. His donation may not be the ultimate sacrifice, but it is hard to imagine a more profound gesture of friendship.

Versatile cranberries: Not just for relish anymore Versatile cranberries add piquancy and color to many dishes and sides.

History of Cranberries
Versatile cranberries, blueberries and Concord grapes are the only native North American fruits that are commercially grown. Cranberries were first used by Native Americans who discovered the wild berry’s versatility as a food, fabric dye and healing agent. Today, cranberries are commercially grown throughout the northern part of the United States and are available in both fresh and processed forms, according to the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association. The name “cranberry” derives from the Pilgrim name for the fruit, “craneberry,” so called because the small pink blossoms that appear in the spring resemble the head and bill of a Sandhill crane. European settlers adopted the Native American uses for the fruit and found the berry a valuable bartering tool. American whalers and mariners carried cranberries on their voyages to prevent scurvy. In 1816 captain Henry Hall became the first to successfully cultivate cranberries. By 1871 the first association of cranberry growers in the United States had formed, and today U.S. farmers harvest approximately 40,000 acres of cranberries annually.

Contrary to popular belief, cranberries do not grow in water, Instead, they grow on vines in impermeable beds layered with sand, peat, gravel and clay. These beds, commonly known as “bogs,” were originally made by glacial deposits. Normally growers do not have to replant since an undamaged cranberry vine will survive indefinitely. Some vines in Massachusetts are more than 150 years old. This side dish is delicious with pork

The Good The Bad and the Ugly at The Lighthouse Mary Albert
Going to the Movies In a late addition to the Lighthouse Cinema’s Classic Film Series schedule, we are lucky to have one of the great spaghetti westerns, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, from 1966. Clint Eastwood plays The Man with No Name in the third film he made with Sergio Leone, and Italy and Spain doubling for the American West. When Clint Eastwood went to Italy he knew he wanted to play the character as the opposite of the TV cowboys on Rawhide. Sergio Leone directed the films and gave the world the spaghetti western, Ennio Morricone wrote the haunting music, but it was Clint Eastwood who created The Man With No Name: the look, the attitude, the black jeans and poncho, the black cigar, the mysterious past. Eastwood knew that “the less he said the stronger he became and the more he grew in the imagination of the audience.” A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good The Bad and the Ugly all came out in the US in 1967 and made Eastwood a movie star. Come along to see his latest film as director, Hereafter, and catch The Good The Bad and the Ugly while you’re at it. Wednesday and Thursday, at noon and 7:30. See you there.

Jack Neville’s design holds 50 years later Celebrating a half century for the back nine at Pacific Grove Golf Links
By Marhe Ann Jameson Born 1892, Jack Neville won his first California State Amateur Championship at age 20 in back-to back weekends with his win of the last Del Monte Championship. He eventually won the California State Amateur Championship five times. In 1919, he won his third state championship on the Del Monte Golf Course and he won his final two championships on his own Pebble Beach Golf Links in 1922 and 1929. He was paired with the great Bobby Jones for two rounds of medal play in the U.S. Amateur. Neville, a wealthy member of the Claremont Country Club in Oakland, had begun his career as a designer in 1902, when, with Vincent Whitney, he was commissioned to design a public links in San Francisco on what was at the time a cemetery called Potter’s Field. The three-hole links was completed that year and opened as a municipal course – they now comprise the first, twelfth and thirteenth holes of the Lincoln Park Golf Course. In 1909, the City of San Francisco requested that Neville and Whitney construct three more holes to accommodate the increasingly popular game, and those three holes are where the fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth holes are presently located, plus the practice fairway. The cemetery was completely moved and plans for a nine-hole course were laid; nine more holes were reserved for the total of 18. Neville is perhaps most famous for his design of the original Pebble Beach Golf Links. In true links tradition, he and design partner Douglas Grant attempted to bring as many holes to the rocky Pacific Ocean coast line as possible, using a
peninsula that extends into the ocean as part of that effort. Though redesigned in part since, changes have been few since the original in 1919. Neville was also consulted in the design of the Bel Air Country Club. Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course was originally designed by Jack Neville and Robert Baldock. Construction began in 1960 and the course was opened in 1961. Redesigned in 2003, it was included in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 2010. Neville stayed on at Pebble Beach as a real estate salesman for most of the rest of his life. He assisted Peter Hay in designing the Peter Hay Golf Course “across the street” from Pebble Beach. That course, built on a small 10-acre tract was opened in 1957 as a 9-hole course where golfers could squeeze in a short round, warm up or where children could be introduced to the game. It has also been used to host

professional and celebrity shoot-outs before the AT&T Pro-Am. Reports are that Neville also did a preliminary design for The Links at Spanish Bay but no drawings exist. In 1914, Neville met the notable designer of Pacific Grove’s front nine, Chandler Egan, edging him out in the Pacific Northwest Amateur championship. Egan defeated Neville in the same tournament a year later. Egan, the scion of a wealthy Chicago family, played his first game of golf at the age of 12 in Lake Geneva, WI in 1896. He won the 1904 U.S. National Amateur Championship while captain of the Harvard golf team, and took more than a dozen amateur titles during a career that extended into the 1930s. He moved into golf course design in the 1920s, designing 11 courses in Oregon, three in Washington state, one in Georgia and one in California – Pacific Grove’s front nine. In 1929, Del Monte Properties company owner S.F.B. Morse sold the property where the front nine lies to the City for $10 “and a handshake,” the agreement that the city maintain and irrigate the property as a golf course for at least five years. Egan was commissioned for the design, and the classic “figure 8” course was opened on May 9, 1932. Egan died in 1936. Neville approached the Pacific Grove Rotary Club in 1960 with the idea to add nine holes to Egan’s design, using the natural terrain to replicate historic courses in Scotland and Ireland. The site he
proposed was land leased by the City from the U.S. Coast Guard, land surrounding the base of the Point Piños Lighthouse. The back nine of the course was completed in a mere nine months and opened in 1960. Sandy Tatum consulted with Neville in preparing Pebble Beach Golf Links for the 1972 U.S. Open. Neville died in 1978 at the age of 86. The Coast Guard officially deeded the Lighthouse and the surrounding property to the City of Pacific Grove in 2006. As part of the agreement, the City undertook the restoration of the dunes surrounding the course, a process which is ongoing. Overtaken by an introduced species, Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum (ice plant), the dunes are being restored with numerous native plants. Also under way is the restoration of many of the course’s bunkers which, over the past 80 years, have seen the accumulation of sand around the greens. The bunkers will be returned to their original design and condition, along with a layer of washed sand that is whiter in color than has been noted in recent years. Trees which have been lost will also be replaced. Today, Pacific Grove Golf Links has been named one of the “Top 5 Hidden Gems” by the Golf Channel. And it’s one of the “50 best courses for under $50” listed on Golf.com. Golf Digest said, “. . .if your wallet and/or ego needs a respite after playing Pebble for $495, the Grove lets nonresidents play for $45 on weekends. That’s up $5 from the old green fee, but hey, word has gotten out.”
Pacific Grove Golf Links will celebrate ‘Neville in November’
Wearing “retro” golf gear will get you a free cart during “Neville in November” While locals and visitors have been delighted by the Pacific Grove Golf Links for decades, many do not realize the historical significance of this seaside gem. With 2010 marking the 50th anniversary of famed golf course architect Jack Neville’s design of the second nine, the City of Pacific Grove and the Pacific Grove Golf Links have announced their Neville In November celebration. “Throughout the month of November guests of the Pacific Grove Golf Links will have the opportunity to take advantage of special savings, promotions, and events,” commented Joe Riekena, Head Golf Professional. “People love this course, but many are surprised to learn the historical pedigree the Pacific Grove Golf Links carries.” Special promotions include “50%t for the 50th” and “Throwback Thursdays.” “50% for the 50th” offers guests 25 percent off the daily fee rates for greens fees and 25 percent off carts each Tuesday of November. Throwback Thursdays gives guests the chance to dress the part, in knickers, newsboy hats or anything with a vintage feel, and receive a free cart. You might not play like Jones or Hagen, but if you dress like them, you’ll get to ride in style for free. “It is a true honor to have the opportunity to play on a course like this,” noted Riekena. “Where else can you experience a true test of links golf for under $50, and be exposed to one of the game’s true giants?” The Neville In November promotion tees off on November 1st and will go on throughout the month, but make your reservations early as tee times are filling up fast.

Sports Breakers squeak by Soledad By Carol Dixon The Breakers barely escaped the clutches of the Soledad Aztecs last Friday with a 27-26 win in Soledad. Soledad proved that they weren't going to give in with out a fight when Alexia Aquayo made the first touchdown for Soledad putting them in the lead 6-0 in the first quarter with a 9-yard touchdown pass. They missed on the extra point, allowing PG to take control of the ball with a 13yard touchdown pass from Sean Merchak to Jonathan Villerial. Stephen Rock scored on the pass play with a 42-yard field goal putting PG in the lead 13-6 at the end of the second quarter. PG continued to dominate Soledad in the second half after Sean Merchak's 47-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Rose and the extra point from Stephen Rock put PG up in the game 27-13. Trailing by two touchdown with 9 minutes left on the clock in the fourth quarter, the Soledad Aztec Quarterback, Stephen Lemun, scored a 3-yard touchdown while running back David Manujano ran the ball 62 yards putting them down by one point. Wanting to tie the game, Soledad’s Rick Sanchez found himself trapped in a two-point conversion leaving the final score 27-26. This week PG will host RLS at home. And remember to buy your "Shoe Dance" Tickets while you’re there — $30.00 per person. It will be a great time and is hosted by PG PRIDE.

Velvet Coat: The Ragged Luck of Robert Louis Stevenson
Keith Decker offers his new play at the Un-Birthday Celebration By Katie Shain Author and thespian and Pacific Grove resident Keith Decker has invested roughly 20 years gathering, researching, condensing volumes of detailed in-formation, touring and performing the works of Robert Louis Stevenson. Decker has developed a compre-hensive two-act play about the author. Act I of “Velvet Coat; The Ragged Luck of Robert Louis Stevenson” will debut Tues., Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Monterey Public Library. The evening will honor the Annual Un-Birthday celebration of Stevenson’s famous gesture of formally donating, by deed of gift, his birthday to the daughter of an American Land Commissioner whose birthday fell on Christmas Day and therefore had no day of her own for celebration. Decker will portray Stevenson in a reading of his compilation of perceptions replete with likely thoughts, feelings, and circumstances of this eccentric son of a lighthouse attendant from Edinborough, Scotland. The successful student of law and wanderlust, poet, traveler, writer, rogue will be recalled by Decker as he paints the vivid experiences that Stevenson himself likely endured during his brief but dramatic three months stay here on the Monterey Peninsula during 1879. Stevenson’s brief appearance on the Monterey Peninsula has left significant marks on the local terrain. The most obvious may be Spyglass Golf Course in Pebble Beach, where, from the first hole named ‘Treasure Island’ to its 18th named ‘Spyglass’, all the holes are reminiscent of Stevenson’s novel, Treasure Island. Decker offers insights into much of the speculation surrounding Stevenson’s life and also why that speculation has never waned. In fact he is willing to impart his theories on some of the old and ongoing debates and discussions; the whys, the wherefores, the whos, the likely activities and the loves of Robert Louis Stevenson. Was Robert Louis Stevenson the proverbial Peter Pan — did J. M. Barrie model his boy hero after the Scottish author, and why? Why did Stevenson come to the Monterey Peninsula for that brief period of time? How did he come close to death while here? What’s the significance of the Velvet Coat? Join Keith Decker and the Robert Louis Stevenson Club of Monterey as he reveals the intimate days of Stevenson’s local lore Tuesday evening, Nov. 9, 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Monterey Public Library, located at 625 Pacific Street, Monterey. Admission is free, seating by reservation only. For information call 831-646 3949 o www.monterey.org/library.
“Doc” Ricketts at The Works
Howard Burnham, the delightfully talented ex-pat Brit, does his best American accent as he presents “Go With the Tide,” a “dramatic tutorial” with John Steinbeck’s alter ego, “Doc” Ed Ricketts. It’s 1947. Following the publication of Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, a tourist-intruded and exasperated Ed Ricketts composes a “never-submitted” biographical open letter to The Monterey Herald in the hope that it will keep the idle curious away from his lab. With grace and humor, he reviews his unorthodox academic and personal life, his friendships and failings, and his scientific successes. Enjoy an entertaining and informative encounter with “Doc” Ed Ricketts. The event will take place at the Works on Sun., Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door.

This week’s Monarch Alert To report tagged monarchs: 877-897-7740 http://monarchalert.calpoly.edu/ From our Monterey County lead researcher, Erica Krygsman: Surveys were conducted on Monday and Tuesday, 1 and 2 November. There were moderate to warm early morning temperatures, and many monarchs flying as I finished counting at larger sites. There were obvious increases in numbers at the Sanctuary and at the private property site, and we got this winter's first counts over 1,000! The average number counted at the Monarch Sanctuary this week was 1,917. I was unable to find monarchs at some sites, and the loners previously found at Plaskett Creek have gone. Next counts will likely be on Sunday to Monday, 7 and 8 November. Also, a Monarch Alert display has been set up at the Pacific Grove Library, check it out if you're in town!
