Consultant study: Regional Water Project still most cost-effective Scheduling and permitting analyses to follow

By Marge Ann Jameson California American Water (Cal Am) ordered a study on the cost analysis of 11 water supply alternatives for the Monterey Peninsula, including Pacific Grove. The company plans to hold a public forum on the subject, set for Oct. 26, 2011. Cedar Street Times has obtained a copy of the report, dated October 5, 2011. In the cost analysis, RBF Consulting,

authors of the report, outline the various alternatives which include some combinations of alternatives as well as stand-alone projects. Most have been suggested in some form another, from various desalination plants (Marina, Moss Landing, Sand City, Monterey near the Naval Postgraduate School) to filtration plants and groundwater recharge. Cal Am faces a Cease and Desist Order to cease pumping water for its customers from the Carmel River. By 2014, those customers must reduce use by 40 percent of

what is currently used and by 2016 the reduction will increase to 60 percent of current use. It is important to note that the current report only includes cost analysis and does not include permitting and schedule impacts for the various alternatives. RBF advises that the permitting and schedule impacts report will follow. The analysis uses the current favored project, the Regional Water Supply Project – also known as the Marina desalination

Rare turtle stranded on Pacific Grove beach By Peter Mounteer Last Wednesday, Oct. 5, Pacific Grove received an unlikely visit from an unlikely visitor, an adult Olive Ridley sea turtle that typically inhabits warm coastal waters. Although sea turtles occasionally visit Monterey Bay (most typically leatherback sea turtles that can withstand cold California waters) an Olive Ridley has “never been sighted ashore” on the central coast, according to Scott Kathey of NOAA. Sea turtles spend the majority of their lives in the water, only coming ashore to lay eggs. The Olive Ridley that came ashore on Wednesday—its gender has yet to be confirmed—is not here to nest, as its typical nesting grounds are only as far north as Mexico. According to Kathey, the turtle most likely was lured North in an unusual eddy of warm water that brushed California’s central coast.

The Regional Water Project, Alternative #1, with costs for construction, start-up, contingency and other allowances including cost of indebtedness comes in at $297,470,000 in RBF’s estimate. It adds an estimate for California American Water’s regional project facilities at $132,000,000 “most probable capital cost with contingency,” a high-end estimate of $156,000,000 and a low-end of $118,000,000. The cost cap for Cal Am had originally been set at $106,875,000 in the recent Settlement Agreement. That $107,000,000 includes conveyance facilities (pipes and pumps), a terminal reservoir, and an ASR (Aquifer Storage Recovery) system.

Cost/AFY: $4,460 Alternative #11 would require additional conservation on the part of customers, already at the lowest in the state. It would reduce the capacity of the Marina desalination plant and would include some ground water recharge. Cost/AFY: $3,500 According to the report, implementation of any of the alternatives with the exception of #1, the Regional Water Project, would require “additional environmental impact analysis, recertification of the EIR, amendment and reapplication for the CPCN and amendment of the application to the California Coast Commission.” The report points out that all of the re-permitting would delay implementation well beyond the October, 2012 mid-point of construction (the basis of cost estimates in this report) and thus cost estimates might not hold. Additionally, Alernatives #3 through #9 involve obtaining water rights to divert from either the Carmel River or the Salinas River and the negotiation of rights to store the water against multi-year droughts. Alernatives which involve a Lower Carmel Valley filtration plant assume that land could be secured at a cost of $750,000 per acre for acquisition and $75,000 per acre for easements. RBF advises that as soon as an assessment of the permitting and scheduling impact for each alternative is completed, they will sibmit a subsequent report and make a final recommendation as to the most atractive alternative in their opinion.

The 72-pound Olive Ridley arrived ashore—conveniently—at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, just around the corner from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where it is currently being cared for. Dr. Mike Murray, a veterinarian with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, is in charge of rehabilitating the sea turtle. “The animal is underweight and dehydrated,” he said, “potentially due to illness.” The Olive Ridley is being cared for in a heated 78-degree holding tank out of the view of the public eye. Dr. Murray confirmed that the animal will not be used for aquarium display at any point in time. Murray also said that the turtle is being given antibiotics and supportive therapy in order to restore its health and will likely remain at the aquarium under his care for an unknown number of weeks depending upon its response to rehabilitative treatment. A potential release site has not yet been chosen. Last Wednesday’s rescue marks the fourth turtle rescue in the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s 27 year history and the first since 2005. The Olive Ridley sea turtle is classified “endangered” by the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a categorization most likely the result of a high frequency of egg collecting on nesting beaches and turtle hunting by humans throughout the world. As of Tuesday, October 11th, the turtle’s condition has stabilized and it is responding well to treatment.

Division of Ratepayer Advocates were invited speakers

Carmel community meeting held to discuss water options By Cameron Douglas A community meeting hosted by Carmel City Councilman Jason Burnett took place at the Sunset Center on Oct. 5. There, Max Gomberg from the Division of Ratepayer Advocates, and the DRA’s legal counsel, Karen Paul, talked and answered questions about the current water situation on the Monterey Peninsula, and how to go about advancing new ideas. Burnett and his colleague, council member Libby Downing, called the meeting in the wake of a stalled Regional Water Project, which has been hobbled at least for the time being by legal issues and allegations of conflict of interest. A cease-and-desist order by the state has mandated an end to pumping of the Carmel River. Citing a deadline of Jan. 1, 2017, Burnett said, “We need to go back to the CPUC with something else.” “The Regional Project is not likely to go forward,” Burnett said, adding that he didn’t want “a history lesson,” but rather to have the group do some homework to learn about the process of getting a new project started. Despite Burnett’s wish to avoid a history lesson, Gomberg took considerable time doing exactly that, carefully outlining the series of events involving the Regional Project and the DRA’s role in the process. The DRA represents ratepayers for utilities, communications, and more. It shares offices with the California Public Utilities Commission. The DRA’s primary function is to review the rates or proposed rates of a utility or other service provider to make sure the rates charged to consumers are in line with the cost of running the operation. Because the CPUC regulates Cal-Am, which is a private company, the DRA is charged with ensuring rates for any forthcoming water project will be reasonable. In Gomberg’s account of the events leading to the CPUC’s acceptance of the Regional Project, “dialogs went well on agreement of logistics.” I.e., the proposed plans for wells, pipelines, and the desal plant itself all looked good to the commission. Gomberg listed five things the DRA will consider: Total cost (before finance charges); cost allocation -- fair distribution of who pays for what; operations and maintenance; well design and location; and governance. Gomberg emphasized that a united public has the best chance of success with the CPUC. “The quickest way to move something through the CPUC is for everyone to be in agreement,” he said. However, based on the study released later that day by Cal-Am Water, getting everyone to agree on a course of action may be difficult. The study outlines ten alternatives, plus the option of continuing with the Regional Project. Some of the alternatives overlap with different combinations of same ideas. Gomberg, who is based in San Francisco, stated that while the DRA has a strong interest in the process, it will not be possible for a DRA representative attend every single meeting related to ensuring the Peninsula’s water supply. At the Oct. 5 meeting, there was talk of pumping surface water from the Salinas River at certain times of the year. However, Gomberg pointed out that, under current law, water from the Salinas River couldn’t be exported. Karen Paul fielded some legal questions about the lines between CPUC and the DRA. Asked if the DRA might ever see a need to take action against the CPUC, Paul said that situation hasn’t come up. She said it is “not clear” whether the DRA can sue the CPUC. She also pointed out that while other rate disputes are resolved in lower courts, water rate disputes go straight to the state Supreme Court. Dennis Allion, a council member from Del Rey Oaks, voiced strong support for a water recycling plan similar to one in Orange County, where highly treated sewer water is recycled and injected into the aquifer. Allion also serves on the board of the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency, which currently runs an operation to use recycled water for irrigation in artichoke fields. In an email to Cedar Street Times, Allion expressed dismay that a straight recycling plan is not on Cal-Am’s list of alternatives. Current plans, says Allion, call for recycled water to percolate in the soil for six months before it is drawn out, a state requirement. Orange County is currently working on getting that requirement shortened or removed, based on the claim that the recycled water if “probably purer” than water from other sources, says Allion.

The writings contained in “High Hats” are not our words. They are quoted from Pacific Grove/Monterey publications from 100 years in the past. Our journalistic predecessors held to the highest possible standards for their day, as do we at Cedar Street Times.

Criminal Medical Practice

It comes as no surprise to the people of Pacific Grove that Dr. Hines is the victim of a morphine habit. Like many other medical people, Hines has long suffered from excessive abuse, and that abuse recently resulted in the death of M. Wagner. On a night after the Wagner murder, Dr. Hines entered the Drug store where he met the druggist, Charles Underwood, with whom he began chatting. He said that he had acquired an appetite for both liquor and morphine while attempting to cure Dr. Shelton, of Pacific Grove, of a habit with opium which was making that physician into an opium fiend. Whipping out his pistol, Hines placed it against Underwood’s breast and threatened to kill him if he did not immediately satisfy Hines’ own habit. He stated that he had recently killed the deceased Wagner and because of that was proficient in the practice of murder. Even so, Underwood refused to comply. Hines departed angrily, screaming obscenities. Later, Charles Underwood advised law enforcement of Hines’ statement. Hines was arrested and jailed to await a preliminary hearing. Hines is to be defended by Attorney S. F. Geil, of Salinas, who paid the Grove a visit in beginning his work.

Author’s Notes

“Grainers” painted cheap wood to appear like more expensive, grained wood. A “Kalsiminer” white-washed fences or walls with a paste made from calcimine. Kalsimine was a registered, product trade name. 2. Sunset magazine was founded in 1898 as a promotional magazine for the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The magazine was not only designed to encourage travel, it was intended to set aside negative “Wild West” images about California. If legitimate, advertising in Sunset would most likely have been advantageous. 3. A “masque” was entertainment consisting of pantomime, dancing, dialogue, and song. These “shows” were often quite elaborate. 4. Founded in San Francisco as the Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills in 1850, the firm was renamed by James Folger in 1872. Its fresh-ground “Golden Gate” brand made it one of America’s foremost coffees. This year, the original Folgers (Pioneer) company home at 101 Howard Street was purchased by the University of San Francisco to become downtown classrooms. / Milk toast, popular in the early 1900s, consists of toasted bread served in warm milk, typically with sugar and butter. Salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, cocoa, raisins, or other ingredients were often added.

Watch for fake advertising scheme!

Sunset magazine is undoubtedly forthright. However, the purpose to which a few scammers are putting its name are not so straight forward. Each morning, this group sallies forth armed with business cards and other, official-looking identification announcing them as “special” representatives of Sunset magazine. They then unveil a scheme for “advertising the town.” These dishonest gentlemen say that Sunset is planning a future, pictorial issue featuring Pacific Grove and the Monterey Peninsula. They then produce several sheets of paper upon which have been printed squares the size of business cards. As enticements, names have been written within several squares. The scammers then tell the mark that advertising can be purchased (at this advanced date for cash) for only $7.50 a square or 4 squares for $21. The price doubles if purchased later or paid for by check (because of bookkeeping costs). As soon as it was known the scheme was developing, your editor telephoned the office of Sunset (known to be one of the most substantial and meritorious publications on the coast) regarding the status of the strangers, and their authority to use Sunset’s name in connection to their offer. The representative of Sunset responded by saying that these individuals referred to were simply hired as solicitors for subscriptions to the magazine. They were not authorized to transact any other business in the magazine’s name. Furthermore, with all due respect to the beauty of the region, Sunset is not planning a future article about this area. Sunset indicated that anyone falling for the scam should show evidence of same to the editor and a complimentary subscription would be set up for two years by way of compensation. 2 • • • • • • • • •

Sometimes the old way is best An old-fashioned roast with a modern touch

When I was a kid on the ranch in Aromas, there was a war on. I don’t remember any feeling of being deprived, probably because we had everything we needed right there -- eggs, chickens, turkeys, geese, all the fruits and vegetables in the world. And if it wasn’t in season, my mother had canned it and we still had it. She even canned whole chickens. Being raised in the Depression -- first in Cornwall, then in America -- she knew all the thrifty things to do, like darning socks and turning my dad’s collars. I ran across this recipe for making the cheaper cuts of beef as tender as the more expensive ones, and I did it up last weekend for Sunday dinner. My friend Wayne said his mother always added the little surprise ingredient you’ll see in the recipe, and that made all the difference. This recipe is typical of the Depression and World War II era.

Depression roast like Mom used to make -- and a loaf of homemade bread from Amy Coale-Solis! roast in a heavy pot with some cooking oil and brown well on all sides. At this point, I put it in a big crock pot so I didn’t have to think about whether or not it would burn, but Mom didn’t have a crock pot until her later years. She did it in a pot on the stove. Pour in two cups of strong black coffee and two cups of water and cover. Cook on high for an hour, then lower to simmer. After about four hours, add onions and carrots if you want, and after five hours add some potatoes and mushrooms. You probably won’t have to add more liquid unless you decide to simmer it on the stove top instead of the crock pot. The recipe said to add salt and pepper

about 20 minutes before serving, but as I’d marinated it in onion and garlic powder I didn’t bother. The meat is going to fall apart -- don’t even think about slicing it. If you want to remove everything to a platter and make the drippings into gravy, take some of the juices and thicken with flour and return it to the pot. I added a good glug (that’s a very scientific measurement, by the way) of Veri Teri teriyaki sauce, which is my current flavor-all for everything. You could use Kitchen Bouquet, A-1 Sauce or the like to add a great flavor to the gravy. It was scrumptious, and the leftovers are even better.

(831) 659-4229 or www.plazalinda.com This marks the Carmel Valley debut of the Bay Area-based singer-songwriter-guitar player hailed by Dirty Linen magazine as “Hemingway armed with a bluesy guitar. It doesn’t seem like there could be a straight line between Dallas and San Francisco any more than there could be a direct connection between being an architectural student and learning to play guitar and sing on the mean streets of Chinatown and Union Square - until you hear Jeffrey Halford and it all makes sense. Jeffrey Halford delivers a uniquely American melting pot of roots, blues, rock, and kick-ass pop - take some Southern soul, add a heap of Texas storytelling, a dash of Bay Area’s freewheeling liberal spirit/literary leanings/seedier side, throw in some desert sunshine and dirt, then stir together with an architect’s eye for detail and durability and you’ve got yourself an idea why Paste magazine recently named him to their “Ten Most Influential Artists of the Decade.” A guy who doesn’t play favorites when it comes to words and music, Jeffrey Halford knows how to get his point across subtly, and he also knows when to hammer it home. But most of all, he knows how to craft music that grabs your attention and keeps it - on record, but particularly on stage, where he and the band make you want to jump out of your seat..Jeffrey has shared the stage with Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, and George Thorogood to name a few. Turns out the streets of San Francisco might have been the best teacher of all.

The Arts

Now Showing Taylor Jones

Arts Talk with Trudeau From the shadows of this cold, autumn night, I gratefully enter the warmth of the Alternative Café, a welcoming venue I feel more and more compelled to attend after every show I see here. I’m having a conversation with tonight’s featured act, Zoe Boekbinder. She tells me of the success she celebrated at her CD Release Party at Viracocha in San Francisco in celebration of her new album, Darling Specimens. Born in a farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, Boekbinder spent parts of her youth in California and became interested in pursuing music during her last year of high school. She spent five years touring with her sister in their duo called Vermillion Lies, achieving success with their circus and cabaret theme onstage. In 2009, Boekbinder began to pursue a solo project with a sound she describes as “ragtime pop,” and continues the adventure tonight by performing at the Alternative Café. Her touring partner Alexander Thompson, playing under the alias The Alexanders, sits down and joins the conversation. They met through a booking agent when they played a show together in Athens, GA, where they exchanged CDs and hit it off, resulting in their current tour together. He recorded his new album Western Medicine over the past year in his hometown of Chattanooga, TN. Thompson plays guitar, trumpet, and sings, and is preparing to perform his rockabilly folk music tonight. Later, enjoying the comfort of the front row leather couch, I notice the room is filling up earlier than usual and I have a good feeling about the show. Before Boekbinder and The Alexanders are set to go on, an opening rock band from Oakland called Warbler takes the stage. Starting off their set with a chilled-out sound of ambient keyboards and electric guitar plucking, they progress into a heavier, indie rock riff that turns them into a mix of the raw element of Dawes and the electric element of Phoenix. The intro of their next song begins in a similar mood, leaving the drums out in order to sustain the mellow scene. However, the drummer should turn his snare off since vibrations from the amplifiers are causing his drum to rattle and take away from the energy of the performance. I admire the clear plastic back of the keyboardist’s setup, which allows the audience to look inside and see all of the synthesizers and mechanisms he uses. On one song, he uses these synths in cooperation with various foot pedals to create a soul-powered organ. While the bass player plucks a wild west-sounding line on his five-stringed Yamaha, the singer/guitarist stomps his foot pedals for live looping and effects including distortion, reverb and delay, an effect much loved by Brent Smith, the guitarist in my own band Mozzo Kush. Warbler has definitely worked on live transitioning in their set, for after the end of the previous song, the drummer starts playing a floor tom and rim pattern, a precise entrance for the other instruments. Although these musicians blend together to create their own sound, that sound often just gets too loud and repetitive. As Scott Grover, owner of the café, once told me, you have to “play to the room,” and in this case that means don’t play so loudly that all the sound is going to echo off the walls and feedback directly into the mics. Overall, Warbler has a distinct sound, but does not vary their style enough to keep the audiences’ interest. Then, sitting down on a wooden chair onstage, Alexander Thompson of the oneman-band The Alexanders presents himself in a blue and yellow striped sweater over a collared shirt, looking through hip, dark rimmed glasses that almost scream “indie musician!” Kicking off his set with a song called “Big Boy,” Thompson surprises me with a soothing voice that has some pop influence, with lyrical schemes like Feist and Brit-pop artist Kate Nash, but keeps the music indie by incorporating his folk guitar melodies. On another song called “Gay Friends and Sugar Cookies,” he explains the title didn’t win him many fans throughout the Midwest, so he’s been more open to playing it in California. After this happy song that displays his soft sound and voice, he changes the mood by playing “Misery,” a tune that reflects the story-telling songwriting style of Paul McCartney. While playing “Jesus Plays Roulette With the Sun,” Thompson plays a bass line on the low E string and strums the rest of the chords to accompany himself like Jimi Hendrix did before Noel Redding joined the band. Thompson owns his folk-pop sound and compliments his touring partner very well. When featured act Zoe Boekbinder steps on stage in her rose-covered jacket, she debuts not only her new CD, but a wide smile and a welcoming presence that makes the audience temporarily fall in love with her. Boekbinder is well known for her Boss loop machine, which she uses to harmonize with herself as well as to launch drumbeats and other pre-record patterns. In order to do this, she needs two mics, one to record her live loops and another to sing overtop of them. Her “ragtime pop” sound resembles the vibrato of Shenandoah Davis, who coincidentally produced her latest album Darling Specimens. With Davis, Boekbinder searched for objects to hit with drumsticks, including lawn mowers, glass, pianos, and even recorded the crunch of chewing celery. After obtaining these samples they sent them off to various electronic beat makers to produce some very interesting loops, resulting in a song called “Artichoke.” The song “Salt Water” also incorporates a lot of these out-of-the-ordinary sounds for percussion instruments, while Boekbinder plays guitar and sings over them. Although the beats are intricate and innovative ideas, the artificial aspect of the pre-recorded beats interferes with the natural flow of the music at times. She shows on songs like “Just Because” and “Sour Lemons”; when she plays them live, with just vocals and guitar, the songs come out much more gripping. On the next song, which she has yet to title, she explains how she taught loop machine classes at New Folsom Prison and asked inmates to write words for her melody. As a result, Boekbinder transposed these hip-hop lines to fit her song, a folk adventure with questioning lyrics like “where would I be without my hook and verse?” Leaving the stage temporarily, she teases the encore-pleading audience by waving her hand in and out from backstage. Finally, she takes the stage again to end with her own, comical version of “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé. Since she starts the loop really fast, she commits to the beat and tries to sing the song at an incredible pace, engaging the audience in belting the chorus and giving everyone a heartfelt last laugh.

Bond-Maker: Shaken not stirred The lives and loves of Ian Fleming

It is 1964, the last year of the author’s life. On a final visit to his beloved United States, Ian Lancaster Fleming – embittered second son, athlete, bon viveur, womanizer, failed journalist, unsuccessful banker, wartime intelligence officer, and finally best-selling novelist – is promoting the upcoming third movie based on his James Bond novels, Goldfinger. In this one-man characterization by Howard Burnham, Fleming reviews his eventful life – or rather lives: a drop-out at both Eton College and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, his ‘salvation’ with private tutors in Austria, his early adventures in prewar Stalin’s Russia, his wartime exploits under the original of ‘M’, his first visits to America and meetings with J. Edgar Hoover and ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, his minor but memorable role in the establishment of the CIA, his love of Jamaica and the creation of his home ‘Goldeneye’, his marriage that led directly to the writing of Casino Royale and indirectly to the penning of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, and finally the creation of the fabulous James Bond franchise. And he does not exclude his loves: alcohol, tobacco, women, fast cars and exotic places Howard Burnham was born in Bournemouth, England. He is of American descent. Six times great grandfather, Thomas Burnham, was an attorney in Hartford CT in the 1670s; three times great grandfather, Abner Burnham, served in the CT line in the Revolution and was pensioned in 1832. A namesake distant cousin was killed on day one of Chickamauga, commanding Battery H 5th US Artillery. The present Howard, a wintertime Pacific Grove resident, is noted for his entertaining and accurate historical and literary characterizations, which range from Shakespeare to Alfred Hitchcock by way of ‘Gentleman Johnny’ Burgoyne, Winston Churchill and approximately thirty others. He works extensively with the National Parks Service, libraries, schools and churches. The Ian Fleming portrayal will take place at The Works Book and Coffee Shop, 677 Lighthouse Ave, on Sunday, October 16 at 5:30 p.m. Admission: $10 at the door. For more information on Burnham see www.howardburnham.com.

Health and Well-Being

Health, well-being, and happiness do, indeed, go hand-in-hand Proverbs 17:22, “A merrie heart doth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones”… Laughter is the best medicine. As a Breast cancer Thrivor…that’s thriving Breast cancer survivor, this month – Breast Cancer Awareness Month, holds the memory of a diagnosis of breast cancer 6 years ago, as well as a variety of emotions, recollections, and personal insight and transformation for me. Like the dis-ease I thought I’d never get! If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything! Winning/losing the fight with cancer, battle against cancer, ring a true reality throughout several aspects of my life both then, as well as now, years later. It remains in that light that I share my heart-felt thoughts with you today on the topic of Health & Well-Being as a determining factor for Happiness. Being a long-distance runner for the last 36 years, an athlete of sorts, I usually feel indestructible. It’s an attitude that seems to let me challenge all…well, most… limits. My sense has been for years that women are the same when it comes to Health. Even the idea of breast cancer seems distant, an unlikely detour far down the road and decades from possibility. The reality is closer than most realize….Trust and Believe, I know…as the results of a breast biopsy of positive was anything but music to my ears, and felt like I had gone to some surreal zone. In the United States alone, more than 250,000 women under age 40 are living with Breast cancer, and it’s the leading cause of cancer deaths in women age 15 to 54. Cancers in young women are generally more aggressive. The disease is usually diagnosed at later stages than with older women, and the survival rate is lower. That’s just an FYI…not a call to run to one’s fear and doubt zones! Women are natural attractors, of many things. Yet due to cultural programming, many women have lost their way, and we may end up approaching Life like a man would. The masculine program is all about goal-setting and goal-getting; this rarely works for women in the long-term. Instead, women must fill our cup first with what makes us come alive, and be immersed in a community of support, adventure, and inspiration. More than ever, NOW, it’s time for women to nourish and nurture themselves – not merely everyone else around them – for, from a cognitiveemotional standpoint – those old genetic thought patterns, it remains the absence and inability, the refusal of women to nurture, to serve Self, that lends itself dramatically to the incidence of breast cancer in women. It thoroughly remains my devout belief that the time has arrived for women

Rhonda M. Farrah, M.A.

Wellness Empowerment to care for and nourish themselves with Love and with Joy. To understand that we are important…unique…enough…and, that we count! And then, we blossom... and attract Ease, rather than dis-ease! The Dalai Lama said that the world will be saved by Western Women; I think he was right. Stay tuned for that chapter! However, as a Wellness Empowerment Coach and practitioner who has worked closely with women, first and foremost, it remains our privilege, as well as, duty to naturally desire to create and pursue the most health-filled and nourished Self …physically, emotionally, Spiritually, through our work and career, our relationships, and society we can. This is essential for both our Health and Well-Being, as well as, our Happiness. You’ve probably heard the quote, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” And when it comes to physical health, I think most doctors would agree. This is why primary-care providers spend so much time talking about things like exercising, eating a balanced diet, and quitting smoking. On the other hand, prevention is a radical new idea when it comes to our emotional and mental health. In conventional medicine, we seem to focus on “mental health” only when there is a problem ― depression, anxiety and addiction, for example. But we spend precious little time talking to people about Emotional Wellness. The irony is that, in the end, most of us want to be Happy. And I think medicine has made the assumption that if you aren’t depressed, you must be happy ― or at least “fine,” whatever that is. But the road to happiness is very different than the road to “not depressed.” On the road to “not depressed,” you can afford to coast, perhaps, as long as you don’t hit a major crisis or change in terrain. But the road to happiness requires one to be present for their own wnlightenment. Contrary to what many people would tell you, people don’t just randomly “become Happy.” They work at it. They practice. They take care of their emotional health with the same attention others would give to their cholesterol or weight. This is not to say that depression and other issues are necessarily the result of poor emotional care. I believe they are real illnesses, with real biology, and even the best-laid plans can go awry. On the other hand, if we are really interested in

comprehensive and holistic prevention, it is essential that we pay attention not just to our physical health, but our emotional and mental health as well. That’s what I call…identifying (IT’s always there if we practice Awareness), and tapping into our Authentic Power from within that will and does…indeed, determine our level of Health and Well-Being…and just how Happy we Truly are! The good news is that medicine is changing. One proof is the emerging field of “positive psychology,” the study of what brings us Happiness, satisfaction and meaning in Life. Here are a few simple techniques that have been shown to promote positive emotions, including Happiness. I share them with you here: Every night, write down three good things that happened during the day, and then write why you think they happened. Gratitude is a powerful way to help people move from focusing on the negative to the positive. In one small study, doing this daily for one week helped people feel less depressed, as well as physically and emotionally strengthened (I like to refer to that as Empowered) up to three months later. Share good news, as often as possible. Encourage others when they tell you good news. One researcher found that every time we share good news, we reinforce those feelings in ourselves and in others. Our relationships also tend to be stronger and more positive. Yes…IT is important to share the joy of others…for you, too! Focus on cultivating… One of the five following qualities: Love, Hope, Gratitude, Curiosity or Vitality. The field of positive psychology lists 24 qualities described as character strengths. These five were found in one study to have the closest link to Life satisfaction. Yes… Living the Life You Desire…rather than a life of default! Dream BIG…and don’t be afraid to take some small, baby steps to get there! At first, Go for satisfactory― Decide what the basic criteria are that you want to meet, and get the first option that meets those criteria. This approach saves emotional energy, and any compromise on your Health and Well-Being in all ways! Our struggle or challenge is not that we might aim too high and miss the mark. More likely, we aim too low and hit the bull’s eye. The promotion of mental and emotional well-being can legitimately be viewed as synergistic with the promotion

of physical health. Perhaps, one of the most influential, pathways between positive outlooks, moods, and better physical health is health behavior. This has been found in the relationship between optimism and health. For example, individuals with positive views of aging tend to live longer. Perhaps, practitioners, educators, coaches, as well as, physicians who begin to give more attention to their own Happiness, satisfaction, and meaning in Life will be most likely to promote the same in their client and patient care. As an Educator/Wellness Empowerment Coach, I emphasize and welcome the opportunity to promote Emotional Well-Being as an important part of comprehensive care. The starting point is the recognition and adoption of the perspective that such an endeavor can…and arguably should… be a part of the Healthiest and Happiest one…that’s us…can BE! Rhonda M.

I just returned from Los Angeles where I met up with my LPGA Tour Professional I teach Danielle Ammacapanne. We have formed a company together where we conduct short game schools where we cover the short game from 40 yards in. We conducted our school at the Manhattan Beach Marriott facility, we had 12 students from all levels on ability and after we were done with the one day program, lunch and a few holes on the golf course with instructors, all had a great time and all the players got better quickly. My thought here is to relay to you that the short game from 40 yards in is the MOST important part of your golf game. That’s where you score and yes I know that the driver needs to be in the fairway and you must hit your irons well to get close to the green but you loose more strokes quicker from putting, chipping and pitching so practice your short game 2/3 more than the long game. Believe me it will really pay off..

Big Sur Marathon replicates successful mile marker program for Half Marathon The inspirational, motivational and humorous mile markers that debuted at the 25th Presentation of the Big Sur Marathon were such a success that the organization has commissioned a new set of 13 markers for the Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay, November 20, 2011. The unique wooden cut-outs, designed by local muralist John Cerney, stand seven feet high and are individually designed to humor and motivate all participants along their 13.1 mile journey from downtown Monterey into Pacific Grove and back again. Many of the markers showcase local attributes such as Monarch butterflies, sea otters, a Victorian-dressed woman in running shoes, a seafaring ship captain, a John Steinbeck visage and more. As with the marathon mile markers, many of the models include local runners and residents of the area. To help offset the cost of the mile markers, each is sponsored by a local individual or business. Of the 13 produced, six are still available for sponsorship. The donor’s name as an individual or business will be painted on the sign for a period of three years for a one-time tax deductible cost of $1,000. “It’s a great way to be seen by an engaged audience of 8,000 people,” says marketing director Julie Armstrong. “They all have a touch of humor. . . while providing a subtle advertising message.” An acclaimed muralist, Cerney’s artwork can best be described as “giant

Heritage homes for the birds came in every shape, size and color. The winner of Best of show and People’s choice was the three-tiered bird house (bottom row, far left) donated on behalf of a gentleman who had recently died, George Bosler. Mayor’s Choice was Rebecca Riddell’s Dr. Suess creation, while Mr. Brethauer’s wine cork-addorned creation took the judges’ Whimsical award.

Tweety never had it so good Will any of them ever house feathered tenants? Hard to say, but at least one will go on display at City Hall -- a replica of the Asilomar Whistle Stop by Steve Honneger was purchased by City Manager Tom Frutchey to be donated. The record price paid this year was $350 for Dennis Tarmina’s log cabin, but others went for as little as $25. All funds were to benefit the Heritage Society, mostly for their efforts to restore the Pt. Pinos lighthouse.

Teen Space Grand Opening Thursday Oct 20, 5pm. Pacific Grove Public Library A while back, the Pacific Grove Public Library’s then-librarian, Ashley Wright, applied for -- and got -- a grant in the amount of $21,600 from the Library Services & Technology Act with which the Library began to develop a Teen Space. They ran a survey online and in print, and with the results developed a 15-member Teen Advisory Board with teens from 12 to 15 years old, middle-school and high school-aged. The youth have chosen furniture; there’s a comfy black sofa, a bright green chair, and a brash pink beanbag into which the kids can collapse and read to their hearts’ content. A black throw rug delineates the area from the rest of the library as does a moveable book case. It’s Decorating by Committee at its best. They wrote proposals and voted, and what we see is the result of their efforts. There is a projector and a large movie screen, and a laptop with popular software. They have also chosen programming: Authors’ Nights, Gaming Nights, Writer’s Workshops, a poetry club. . .and fund-raising events. A recent event saw Oliver Chin, an award-winning manga artist, engage the youngsters in drawing their own Japanese-style comic books. The event was so popular that they are in the process of booking him again for a follow-up. Soon they will host an event with Melinda Lo whose books are popular with teen-aged girls. Books, materials and DVDs are available, both popular and by authors and on subjects which back up school curriculum such as Rand, Steinbeck and Twain. On Oct. 27, from 6:30-7:30 p.m., the Teen Space board will team up with 5-6 graders to present a haunted house in the library as a fund-raiser, and invite younger children to visit. Front and center is It Ate Chopsticks (okay, so it was Naming by Committee), a huge stuffed panda which can also serve as a pillow if the bean bag is occupied. It Ate Chopsticks is the Teen Space mascot. In celebration of the library’s newly expanded Teen Section, Pacific Grove Public Library invites students ages 12 and up to see our new comfy furniture, neon signs, huge graphic novel section and more! Live music by The Clock Stoppers and a chance to try out our new Xbox Kinect on a giant movie screen, plus a ribbon-cutting by PG Mayor Garcia. See what cool stuff the library offers to teens, including the latest best-sellers, free Internet, homework help, and DVDs.

Opinion

Vote as it your life depended on it

Did you receive your absentee ballot yet? Many local people will vote in the next three weeks, before election day. If the past is any indicator, a majority of Pacific Grove voters will do so. There are two issues before you – Measure U, which eases some of the restrictions placed on hospitalities by Measure C a few years ago; and Measure V, which extends and replaces the current parcel tax. We’ll also be voting for a representative to the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, making a choice between (alphabetically) Jeanne Byrne, architect and former mayor of Pacific Grove, and Regina Doyle, the incumbent and an educational consultant. To some with whom we’ve spoken, this race is between growth and no growth, progress and status quo, public water and a conglomerate utility, people and fish. It is, of course, more complicated than any of those single issues. In fact, it’s probably the most complicated issue we’ve examined since founding this newspaper. We have been watching it unfold since pressure began to restore the Carmel River,. As various plans for replacement water have been brought to the fore over the years, we’ve been glad-handed and courted, pressured and accused as has every member of the public, whether they were paying attention or not. What it comes down to for us is this: time, cost, and leadership. There can be no question that there needs to be replacement water as the Cease and Desist Order takes effect. But we’re mired in litigation and investigations as the countdown is under way, and time to get any option for replacement water is running short. The Regional Water Project, still the solution we favor for replacement water, has grown from a manageable $150 million a few years ago to the current outrageous $404 million, and no one is talking about how it’s going to be financed and what we, the ratepayers, are going to have to shell out to take a shower and water the begonias, let alone add a second bathroom for Grandma or take her out to dinner. But if we believe the recent study, it’s still the cheapest option. We have a private water company with failing pipes. Are they waiting for the ratepayers to replace them? The delivery options for the Regional Water Project would seem to say so. And don’t kid yourselves, the public could not do any better job than an experienced utility, even with its aged infrastructure: We saw the results in Felton, when F.L.O.W. took over Cal Am, which had, in turn, purchased Citizens Utility. That didn’t last long. San Lorenzo Valley Water, which provides water for the rest of the San Lorenzo Valley, is now handling Felton’s water which they should have done all along. But should all of our water be in one bucket, so to speak? No. We in Pacific Grove have become mired in endless discussions about other matters and have ignored the possibilities of new water that have been presented time and again. A grant-financed study years ago showed us we could revive the old reservoir on David Avenue and, with concrete tanks, store enough water in peak flow season to get some things done around here. We were shown a spring box at a private residence below the golf course, an inexpensive solution that anyone sitting on the underground river here in Pacific Grove could adopt. Cisterns have been approved, but how many of us have installed them? We’ve wondered all along why potable water was being used to water the golf course and cemetery when the MRWPCA has an idea to use recycled water that would give us thousands of acre feet, currently going to water artichoke fields. We have not seen any leadership. We have seen a Water Board give us flow restrictors and meters to measure house plant watering, but not new water. We have “conserved” ourselves into the record books. We need representation, not little timers for our showers. These, our elected representatives, should have been applying pressure all along to get these problems solved, and now, when our backs are to the wall, they crow that they have set up a “supply committee.” The internship is over, people. And whether some members of the Monterey Peninsula Water District like it or not, there can be no question that we need new water. It’s not about growth. It’s about people, and the economy, and living a reasonable style of life. As you sit down at the kitchen table to fill out your ballot, we urge you to consider these factors: The time it would take to get a new project drawn up, approved, and built; the cost (and that’s anyone’s guess at this point); and which of the two candidates can provide effective leadership to guide us safely to the next drought. Then, by all means, VOTE. If water is life, your life depends on it. - Marge Ann Jameson

Install the lights, and then see

Editor: Regarding the October 7 opinion letter “Has your voice been heard?", if it is accurate that it would cost taxpayers an estimate of $40,000 to place a ballot vote about lighting on the golf club, I would recommend that the taxpayers pay the estimated $20,000 to put in the lights. Then we can evaluate in a real method, so we can determine the value fulfillment against the potential negative offset. If it is later determined that we should not utilize the lighting, we can turn them off. This would save half of the cost of the vote. Jeffrey Wanger Pacific Grove

Up and Coming

Carmel Art & Film Festival: God’s Ears More than just a way to win awards, though it has done plenty of that

Steadily making the rounds through the festival circuit is director Michael Worth’s “God’s Ears”, a film about the life of a love struck boxer living with autism. Worth, a Pennsylvania native with family roots on the Central Coast, wrote, directed, and starred in the film that will premiere next Saturday, Oct. 15

of individuals struggling with autism. After a few drafts to develop the love story and an infusion of $100,000 in production money, Worth was ready to start making his vision a cinematic reality. At first, the character of Noah Connelly was slated to be played by someone else, with Worth functioning solely as the film’s

escape, is an amazing realization.” Worth said. “Every film will change me somehow, because I know “God’s Ears” did.” The film will screen at the Youth

Center Main of Carmel’s Sunset Center as part of the 2011 Carmel Art & Film Festival. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $10.

Behind the scenes at 8:00 p.m. at the Carmel Sunset Center. “God’s Ears” portrays a segment of the life of an autistic boxer named Noah Connelly (played by Worth), who yearns for connection beyond that which he achieves at the boxing gym. Noah spends his lonely days at the gym cleaning the floors, hoping for an opportunity to climb under the ropes and into the ring. Pretty simple—so far. Enter Alexia (played by Margot Farley) a self-isolating bikini dancer whose approach to love is hindered by a painful set of fears she has trouble facing. The game changes when these two isolated characters meet, realize they share a common struggle—isolation, and fall in love with one another. The relationship they form gives them the opportunity to face their own personal demons, both together and on their own. The inspiration for “God’s Ears” came from a story Worth read about an autistic basketball player, who was put in the game and ended up scoring the most points in one game in the team’s history. Intrigued, Worth dug deeper and spent a lot of time with young adults on all areas of the autism spectrum. During his research, two children with different autistic attributes particularly touched Worth on a personal level. “I became enamored by the idea of presenting a person [with autism] on film as a relatable character, not another disease-of-the-week portrayal where the audience can’t even see a part of themselves in the person.” Worth’s desire to portray the relatable side of individuals struggling with autism spawned the first draft of “God’s Ears”. Worth, a boxer himself, used the combat sport in the film as a metaphor to represent the real life battles

director. However, time constraints and financial concerns convinced Worth to undertake the role himself. “I knew that was going to be one of my biggest challenges,” he disclosed. Worth was not satisfied with simply “acting” autistic by copying the ticks of such individuals in order to play the part convincingly. Instead, Worth started with a method acting approach, devoting time to fully understanding the brain function and body language of autism sufferers and incorporated that knowledge into his performance “I really adopted it to the point that I was forgetting my lines at times and improvising as well as stepping into my director role while still behaving like the character [off camera].” “God’s Ears” has performed well at other film festivals across the nation. The film has garnered top honors at New York’s Visionfest and recently won the Jury Prize for Best Film at both The Feel Good Film Festival and Route 66 Film Festival. Additionally, “God’s Ears” was the only US selection for Japan’s Skip City International Film Festival. Worth also mentioned that “God’s Ears” is the first time he has experienced the potential of film as something more than just a way to win awards, promote one’s career or pay back investors. For Worth, the true value of “God’s Ears” and filmmaking itself lies in what the audience can walk out of the theatre with. “The amount of comments and tears and hugs and smiles I have witnessed made me realize there is so much more…just the fact that I was involved in something that may actually help somebody in some way, rather than give them a couple hours of

In a scene from God’s Ears, Alexia, right, watches with Candy (played by Karen Kim) for Noah to return. Noah is an autistic boxer; Alexia is a bikini dancer. Both struggle with issues of isolation until they find each other. The film will premiere at the Youth Center of Carme;’s Sunset Center as part of the 2011 Carmel Art & Film Festival.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a map must be worth ten thousand. And if that’s the case, the PG library has the equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary in its map files. The map files are kept near the reference desk, and there are many maps available on microfilm. If you’re interested in learning more about the maps, a good place to begin your exploration is the light gray metal map case directly across from the reference desk. The maps there are full of information. For example, there is a Graphic Tidal Current Chart―San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate to Carquinez Strait and Dumbarton Bridge. This map illuminates the flow of the current two hours before maximum flood at Golden Gate, one hour before, maximum flood, one hour after maximum flood, two hours after and three hours after. Not everyone is interested in such information, but if you are, this map can provide information you may find priceless. This map case also includes a number of topographical maps. For example, it has Yosemite, Tuolumne Meadows, Lassen Volcano National Park, Merced Peak, and Mt. Whitney topographical maps. If you’re planning a hiking vacation and are undecided which area you prefer, these maps can help you choose a region best suited to your hiking abilities. In fact, recently a man came in asking to see a topographical map of Big Sur. He said he had been offered a job as a census taker in Big Sur to follow up with people who have not yet responded to the request for census information. He wanted to look at the topography of Big Sur before deciding whether to accept the job. There is no word of his decision, but if he accepted the job, he knows he’s got some hiking ahead of him. There’s even a topographical map of the Monterey Peninsula itself. Created by the U.S. Department of Army Corps of Engineers, the scale is 1:62500, with a contour interval of forty feet. Though the map is stamped as received May 28, 1982, the map indicates the topography was established by aerial photos taken in 1945. Even more practical, this map case includes a Monterey flood insurance map and a map of the earthquake epicenters in the Monterey Bay region. If you’re wondering how your house is situated with respect to the hazards of flooding and earthquakes, you’ll want to see these maps. A beautiful, as well as informative, map regarding earthquakes is the map “A Century of Great Earthquakes: 1897-1996.” While most maps are in only two or three colors, this map is in full color. A red dot shows the location every major earthquake during that century (so, no, the New Madrid quakes of 18111812 are not included). The “ring of fire” around the Pacific Ocean is clearly visible. The earthquakes along the west coast of the United States begin in Alaska, move down the coast to San Francisco and Los Angeles, dot the west coast of Mexico, and continue into South America with quakes in Ecuador, Peru and Chile. On the right side of the map, showing the east coast of Asia, the quakes begin in the Kamchatka peninsula, move down through the east coast of Japan into Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, with one quake each in New Zealand, the Auckland Islands and the Macquarie Islands. Interestingly, there were no quakes at all during the century illustrated in South America east of the Andes, in Europe, in Africa or in Australia. If you are interested in earthquakes or have a child who is researching earthquakes, take a few moments to glean the information this map offers at a glance. Each section of the map is also illustrated with small pictures of items of interest in the particular geographic areas―skyscrapers in New York, zebra in Africa. It’s well worth a look. Local history buffs will find much of interest in the map case. There is a map of the City of Pacific Grove, compiled for Del Monte Properties from Surveys and official records by W.T. Moore, Licensed Surveyor in 1910. This map shows almost no development west of Pacific Avenue of South of Lighthouse, though there is development north of the then railroad tracks and along Ocean View Boulevard. Even more recent maps contain intriguing information. One map, unfortunately not dated but estimated to be circa 1940, is particularly interesting for its ads. While the map sold for 25 cents, this particular map was apparently donated to the library. Stamped in purple ink “Ted K. Clark, 245 Alvarado St., Monterey 8108,” the map contains an ad for Mr. Clark which says, “When You Think of Insurance, Think of Ted K. Clark.” One wonders if there were a Ted M. Clark who also sold insurance. The map shows just how small the population of the peninsula was―phone numbers in the ads are only four digits. Some of the enterprises are no longer with us such as the G.A. Good Yard on 17th St., but a descendant of Homer T. Hayward’s Lumber is. Another map, solely of Pacific Grove, boasts that the city’s population is 6,000. Listed amenities of the city include, “municipally owned golf course, plunge, tennis courts, roque courts, night baseball. A $40,000.00 Public Museum. Public Library. Six public parks. Children’s free play grounds.” If you’re thinking about current tax rates, you’ll want to avoid the 1964 map of Pacific Grove―it notes the tax rate is $7.91. On microfilm, you’ll find the Sandborn Fire Insurance Maps from the early years of PG. The Sandborn maps were developed for local fire departments and show the footprint of the then existing buildings. These maps can be of great assistance for people who are interested in learning about the history of their lots and homes. The library also has maps available for checkout. If you’ve ever been lied to by your GPS, you know you don’t want it to be your only source of information. The library has maps of all of the fifty states, and these maps are available for checkout. For most of the states, the library also has tourist books available for checkout. The next time you’re in the library, stop by the map case and explore its contents. You’ll find a lot of fascinating information�.

The Nissan LEAF™ Zero Emission Vehicle enters its second year of production By Cameron Douglas Things take time. The Nissan LEAF™, an all-electric zero-emission vehicle, spent 18 years in the planning and development stages before the first model was released in December 2010. It stands as state-of-the-art automotive technology; and possibly, the future of private transportation. LEAF is an acronym for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car. It seats 5 and sells for under $40,000 fully loaded. Cedar Street Times stopped in at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside for a close look at their silver LEAF demonstrator. Cardinale has two LEAF Specialists, Edrick Baldwin and Lawrence Ocon. Luckily, both were on hand that day. After a quick check of the car’s battery power, Baldwin rolled it out front. He and Ocon explained how it all works. When it comes to gadgetry, the LEAF keeps up with the best of them. Besides, Bluetooth© hands-free phone communication, it has remote keyless entry and a trip computer. The LEAF’s computer can be hooked up to your iPhone, and the car will help you locate charging stations. The SL model offers Nissan’s NavTraffic© on-board navigation system. The dashboard readout takes some getting used to—unless you’ve owned a Prius. Instead of a gas gauge, there’s a gauge to tell you how many miles you have left before the battery power runs out. But the power consumption varies depending on the pressure from your right foot, so you have to keep an eye on that. To help you, there’s a little cyber-tree that grows as you drive. Drive conservatively, and new branches grow on the tree. Stuff your foot in it and the branches start falling off. Under the hood, your eye is drawn to a large, shiny, transverse piece of metal that looks like the valve cover of a 4-cylinder engine, but it’s not. There are also some hose-like thingamabobs to help you feel at home, along with fluid reservoirs for the brakes and a coolant for the batteries. The car uses a separate, 12-volt battery for the navigation and radio. In safety, the car makes no compromise. It hosts a total of six air bags, and two of those are packed in the sides of the front seats. In fact, Nissan advises against the use of seat covers because they will interfere with the function of those bags. Nissan engineers are still working on the design and studying customers’ input and experience with the car. Future models are expected to have more range and use less power for climate control. For now, the Automatic Temperature Control system has a timer that can be set to minimize power consumption. The car rides extremely solid, smooth and quiet. So quiet in fact that it uses a soft warning chime from a standing start up to 16 mph to alert pedestrians of the car’s presence. The P205/55R16 all-season tires give it a very sure stance, backed up by independent strut front suspension and front and rear stabilizer bars. Nissan has—pardon the expression—pulled out all the stops with the brakes on this car. With 4-wheel vented

Above: (L-R) The Nissan LEAF, with Specialists Edrick Baldwin and Lawrence Ocon. Front seats are heated and have airbags in the sides. Three kids or two adults can sit back here, and the 60-40 backrests fold down for cargo. The LEAF has clean lines and rides on 16” alloy wheels. There is good legroom in the front, a handy transmission control, and a very busy center monitor.

disc brakes that have anti-lock and electric distribution features, this car halts. Like the Prius, the LEAF’s brakes also utilize friction to recharge the battery (regenerative braking). But unlike the Prius, where the brakes only recharge on actual braking, the LEAF’s brakes also regenerate anytime the driver backs off the accelerator. The LEAF has heated seats and a very effective air conditioner. Around here, the need for heat or air conditioning is minimal. “The LEAF is very good in this climate,” Ocon advises. In

spite of that, consumer response in the Monterey area so far has been weak, says Ocon. The LEAF claims a 100-mile range per charge; so daily commuting to Salinas is no problem. The range varies according to one’s driving habits and the use of the heater or air conditioner. As promised, the electric motor delivers full torque instantly; and while that won’t produce a smoky burnout, it does push you back in the seat a little. There is a feature called “Eco Mode,” which reduces the torque output of the motor

by about 15 percent and extends the range that same amount. Loss of power in Eco Mode is noticeable, but not bad, considering the car packs a pretty good wallop at full power. The LEAF’s warranty covers the drive battery for 8 years/105,000 miles; 3 years/36,000 on all standard running gear; and 5 years/50,000 miles on the drive motor. All this technology costs money. The 2012 LEAF SL model will carry a price tag of about $37,000. That’s a considerable sum for a five-passenger sedan, but other savings have to be considered. A gasoline-powered vehicle traveling 12,000 miles in a year at 30 mpg will burn $1,600 in gas at $4.00 a gallon. Obtaining a Nissan LEAF is an interesting process. These cars are produced on demand. You can only get the LEAF online: there is no colorful selection of LEAFs sitting beneath flapping plastic flags at any Nissan dealer. The dealers’ function in this case is to acquaint customers with a demo car and answer questions. The first step in the process is to pay a $100 reservation fee for your LEAF. That gets a Nissan-certified electrician to visit your house for an assessment of what it will take put in a 240-charge set-up. Those installations run between $2,200 and $2,400. Many people are captivated by the car’s ability to charge from an ordinary 120V house outlet. However, to go from zero charge to full charge that way takes more than 20 hours. At what Nissan calls “standard charge” (240 volts), the same full charging process takes about 8 hours, and that is their recommended set-up. Most electric clothes dryers run off 220/240. There are incentives to buying zero-emission vehicles. The IRS kicks back a $7,500 tax credit on the next year’s return. In California, there is an additional $2,500 credit while funds last. They won’t last long, Ocon said. Customers are encouraged to lease the LEAF, says Ocon. “When a customer leases, they get that $7,500 back right away. They also have a better opportunity to trade it for a more advanced model when the lease runs out.” So the all-electric car is here. It costs money and it saves money. The next step is infrastructure. If the plugs are standardized—that is, no manufacturer uses its own unique charging port configuration—and enough homes and offices have the charging stations installed (city and county offices can step up for this), then the demand will likely increase as fewer customers have to bear the cost of charging station installation. In the end, it comes down to personal sacrifice. The LEAF, and other electric cars to follow, is best suited to local daily commute. You can’t just hop in a LEAF and cruise down to Pismo on an impulse. But if enough people are willing to trade in one gasoline-powered vehicle for an electric that gets them around town, and keep a gas vehicle on hand for towing, longer trips, etc., then a potential 50% reduction in tailpipe emissions is possible. Production and technology advancements will follow. And if that can happen, carbon levels in the atmosphere can be reduced to a safe level. Will it happen? Time will tell.

Carmel unveils electric car charging station

The 240 and 120 charge ports are in a small compartment in the front.

Motor:: Nissan’s engineers have cleverly laid out the electric motor to resemble the familiar, cross-mounted, inline 4-cylinder engine normally seen under a car’s hood today. The big, lithium-ion battery lives under the back seat. Panel: A photovoltaic panel in the rear spoiler recharges the 12V battery.

Carmel Mayor Sue McCloud (left) and Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker (foreground, right) pull the ribbon off Carmel’s first electric car charging station, the Blink. The LEAF has a decent-sized trunk that expands for cargo. The hatch opening measures 30” at the bottom and 40“ at the widest. Nifty bag holds the 120 trickle charge cable.

Monterey Peninsula Wisdom Center (ADHC) 1910 North Davis Road, Salinas, CA 93907

By Cameron Douglas Don’t blink or you’ll miss it. Off to the side of the parking lot at Sunset Center in Carmel, a diminutive machine sits waiting for its next customer. In a quiet first step toward a new tomorrow, Carmel-by-theSea unveiled the Blink, its first electric car charging station. Funding and project coordination came through the efforts of the Association of Monterey Bay Area

The Monterey Peninsula Wisdom Centers (ADHC)is the first adult day health care facility in Monterey County, offering a wide range of therapies and recreational activities. Open Monday thru Friday, 8am – 4pm, services include hot meals, transportation, physical, occupational, psychological, social, nutrition and speech therapies.

Governments (AMBAG). Carmel Mayor Sue McCloud, Council Member Jason Burnett, and Project Manager Linda Beckle led the ceremony. Also in attendance were three potential customers: a Nissan LEAF™, a Chevy Volt and a red Tesla roadster, all of them electric cars. The charging machine is a 240-volt unit, and is part of the Blink network of computerized charging stations. Standing less than five feet tall, it takes up less room than the permit dispensing machines. The unit has a long cord that can reach two or three vehicles, and signage is planned to reserve spaces for that purpose. Instead of searching for gasoline, a computer or smart phone tells you where the nearest Blink station is. The electric car owner parks, connects the big cord to his or her vehicle (no juice runs at this point), and then swipes their Blink card. Directions appear on the screen and, once activated, electricity begins to flow. The machine shows when the charge is complete. “Because California is more ‘green’ than other states, the impact of switching to electric cars here is much greater,” said Parker. Burnett pointed out that in a place like downtown Carmel, where everything is contained in a single square mile, it’s easy to park in a convenient place like Sunset Center, plug in your car, and go see the sights. How well does the Blink hold up? “The plug is protected and the unit is quite weather resistant,” said Jason Smith, Area Manager for Ecotality, the company that manufactures and distributes the Blink. The charging machines are built in Michigan, and Ecotality engages local contactors to install them. In this case, the job went to Regalado Electric of Aptos. For the first couple of months, Carmel will foot the bill for the juice. After that, Blink will charge its members individually and reimburse the city for the electricity. So far, 50 potential charging station sites have been identified in the Monterey Bay area. Regalado will install the next one at City Hall in Salinas. Another is scheduled for Main Street in Watsonville.
