Coastal Commission approves seal beach closure at La JollaBy Thom Akeman

The California Coastal Commission has decided that harbor seal pups are a fragile coastal resource protected by the state’s Coastal Act. That was a unanimous decision last Thursday (Au-gust 14) when the commission approved a permit for the city of San Diego to close a popular LaJolla beach five months a year to keep people away from the harbor seal pups born there, and from the nursing mothers.

It was a decision that should be an important precedent for Pacific Grove, which last year applied for a Coastal Commission permit to temporarily close an area near 5th Street in the spring when harbor seals give birth there.

Seasonal closures to keep people from disrupting the pupping have become common along the California coast in recent years, but this is the first time the Coastal Commission looked into it and found it to be warranted.

Commissioners, the commission’s staff and San Diego of-ficials pointed out the seals draw many spectators to the coast to see them, so seal watching has become a form of public recre-ation protected by the Coastal Act.

San Diego has had continuing controversy and battles since the harbor seals, re-establishing themselves after being hunted to near extinction a century before, showed up on the Children’s Pool Beach in LaJolla in the early 1990s. Some people feel entitled to exclusive use of the beach while others support the animals that are protected by the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection

Where in Pacific Grove...?

Water district approves water generators for commercial useBy Marge Ann Jameson

What if your office water cooler delivered clean fresh water each day and you weren't connected to the local water purveyor, nor having it delivered in unwieldy jugs? What if you could just draw the water out of the air and not be concerned with extreme drought conditions?

It's possible, with an atmospheric water generator. And at their Monday, Aug. 18 meeting, the Water Management District even said it's OK, becoming the first water district in California to approve the devices as alternative primary water sources. And it's the first new water source outside of California American Water to be granted a permit by the MPWMD. But there are reservations on the approval.

The devices can only be approved for commercial use, and only as a primary source if completely disconnected from Cal-Am. And that's one reason why it can't currently be approved for residential use except as a secondary source for studios, for example. The health department will not allow disconnection from Cal-Am until complete reliability of the devices is proven.

According to John Ramirez of the Monterey County Health Dept., the depart-ment has concerns about drinking water quality standards being met by the ma-chines. This is the main reason they have not been approved as stand-alone sources for residential consumers. They are not currently approved for restaurant consumer use either, for example. The department will be looking into what other counties are doing statewide and formulating a policy.

“We'll have to look at each manufacturer and each model,” said Ramirez. But the health department has no concerns if the water is to be used for outside watering, flushing toilets or other non-consumable uses.

From as simple as a homemade “fog catcher” consisting of a sheet of black plastic which drips into an old coffee can through homemade devices such as the one described at http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Atmospheric-Water-Generator/ to the EcoloBlue model demonstrated at the Water District meeting, atmospheric water generators appear to be the wave of the future.

All atmospheric water generators operate in a manner very similar to that of a dehumidifier: air flows over a cooled coil, which causes condensation. The conden-sation is captured and filtered for human consumption. The rate of water production depends on the ambient temperature, humidity, the volume of air passing over the coil, and the machine's capacity to cool the coil. They are manufactured with various capacities, the smallest demonstrated to the District's investigators being an eight gallon per day EcoloBlue unit which is similar in size to an office water cooler.

They're also the wave of the past: They have actually been in common use for decades. Other countries, notably Israel, have been using them for as small as one-person purposes.

But they're not cheap. The smallest model manufactured by EcoloBlue will deliver 8 gallons per day but has a cost per acre-foot per year (AFY) of $145,000, according to the report of the Water Demand Committee of the water district. The proposed 9,752 AFY Cal-Am desalination plant at $253.4 million is approximately $26,000 per AFY.

The do-it-yourself version at instructables.com would cost a little more than $300 to manufacture but power usage figures and the cost of maintenance and filters were not available.

Despite the fact that it “manufactures” its own water, the carbon footprint of the commercial unit is pretty awful, compared to reverse osmosis desalination. The demand on the water supply up the supply chain is four times as much as it delivers to the user/owner.

But on the upside, a water use credit where applicable is offered. “If a project uses AWGs as a means to disconnect from Cal-Am, the District would allow the es-tablishment of a water use credit, so long as the permanent abandonment of Cal-Am can be documented,” according to the committee report.

Act. The contentious debate prompted a series of city ordinances, lawsuits, fist fights, arrests, seal injuries and deaths.

Pacific Grove was trying to avoid that kind of situation in 2007 when the City Council adopted a harbor seals protection plan to try to keep them from settling on Lovers Point, our most popu-lar beach. Part of that policy included tolerating the seals on other city beaches and protecting the pups and nursing mothers anywhere along our shoreline.

Adult seals, skittish when out of the water, will generally flee into the water in fear if people approach them or anything moves unusually close, fast or noisily around them. If nursing moms flee, they sometimes don’t return to their helpless pups, leaving them to starve on the beach or drown trying to search for their mothers.

The pupping season is the most fragile period in the harbor seals’ life cy-cle, and the adorable pups have become a popular attraction for people to watch wildlife in their natural world. Volun-teers in Bay Net, the shoreline docent or-ganization of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, talked to more than 26,000 people alongside Pacific Grove’s harbor seal pupping areas last year.

The seals started reappearing here in 1967 and in 1998 started giving birth on a Hopkins Marine Station beach along-side the Recreation Trail. The beach and the trail are separated by a chain link fence that protects the Hopkins campus and its resources.

Some of the pregnant seals ven-tured westward to a pocket beach at the bottom of 5th Street in 2006 to give birth and the city put temporary fencing around the area to protect the pups and nursing moms. There have been births there every year since, usually in April and May. The city installed temporary fencing to protect them for seven years, the fence getting ever longer as the seal pupping spread.

But in 2013 the city installed redwood railings instead of the more effective mesh fencing. A small group of outspoken residents objected to even that much restriction, arguing that the Coastal Act wouldn’t allow it. Vandals removed signs telling people why the pups should be left alone, and barricades put up by docents were also tossed aside by objectors. The collective result was literally hundreds of people walking down into the seals’ pupping area – many unintentionally – and intruding on the natural processes. That resulted in a record number of abandoned and dead seal pups along our beaches, and strong public reaction to the senseless deaths of helpless animals.

Late in 2013, the City Council turned the city’s harbor seals policy into an ordinance that calls for temporarily closing seal pupping areas with mesh fencing. The city applied for a Coastal Commission permit to support that, but the application wasn’t completed in time for the 2014 pupping that started in late March.

While Pacific Grove’s application is pending, the city installed redwood lat-tice alongside Berwick Park and around the 5th Street pupping area in April and May. Consequently, 2014 was the most successful pupping season the harbor seals have ever had along Pacific Grove,

with at least 90 successful births at Hop-kins and in the spillover area around 5th Street. Those results can be seen in the adorable pictures on the “Harbor Seals of Pacific Grove” page on Facebook.

Mexican Constitutionalists in trouble!This just in by way of radiograph via San Diego.Revolutionists now occupying Tepic have confiscated all property belonging to

Constitutionalists, according to a report filed by the office of U. S. Admiral Howard, whose forces are on standby. The value of this confiscation is estimated to be at least one million pesos.

After being stripped of their property, Constitutionalists were told to leave the city or else. This order was issued by General Blanco, the officer in charge of the troops that won the recent bloody battle. At least 1,000 perished during the fierce fighting.

The capitol of the State of Tepic, the City of Tepic is now under command of Gen-eral Obregon, the Mexican officer in charge of the Rebel’s northwest army. Obregon is also said to have ordered the execution of public officials of the Huerta regime. Sadly enough, immediately following their defeat, squads of Federal soldiers were also bound and led away to be put to death. The town cemetery, which the Revolutionists had turned into a deadly shambles, was converted into a revolving firing-squad arena where the executed could be quickly buried.

Reports are coming in indicating that the Federalists ae regrouping in order to launch a counter-attack. The battered city has settled in for grim waiting.

Admiral Howard states that all intercepted communications are being carefully analyzed to help in determining United States action.

A Classic is coming!Pacific Grove’s Colonial Theater has announced the acquisition of a classic

masterpiece. Opening on September 11th will be the five-reel film story, Oliver Twist. Treated as carefully as possible, this masterpiece by Charles Dickens must be seen by all. The young thespian Nat C Goodwin plays the leading role of Oliver Twist. Other characters include Fagin and Nancy. When the story opens, Oliver is but nine years old. His fraught-with-difficulties journey toward eleven years of age provides the gist of the story. London, England, is the setting. The time is just before 1837, when Queen Victoria was crowned. As a special treat, the Colonial is making opening-night seats available for 10¢. Regular prices of 15¢ return on the 12th. The flicker Oliver Twist will be shown with the Perils of Pauline as its double feature. Projection begins at 7:30 pm. 1

Advice to seafarersYour editor has discovered hidden away in an old book some sound advice for sailors

and other seafarers. For whatever good it may do, I pass a tidbit along … reminding you that this is from a day long gone by.

First, be it known that the captain of a vessel has the absolute right to impose a physi-cal attack upon any sailor or upon anyone else aboard the ship. Although any weapon of attack may be selected, the most often chosen is the spare belaying pin or cleat. 2

Sailors and seagoers are advised to hear calmly any verbal abuse issued by the captain. If words should become blows, the recipient is advised to run toward the bow and to cover himself near the anchor chain.

Should the captain decide to chase after the offending mariner in order to punish him in his stronghold, be advised to double yourself and prepare to avoid blows or to take them upon your back. If the anchor chain is coiled, wiggle your way into the center of the coil.

This action is advised as the captain is not permitted to make use of the anchor chain in any manner. Should the master seem so infuriated as to do so, the mariner should call out to another seagoer to witness the transgression. Later, the matter will be heard by a court.

Another good method of avoidance is to avoid going to sea at all.

SpongesMost people have no trouble recognizing a sponge. Most of us use sponges every

day to do some sort of cleaning. But a sponge pulled directly from the sea has a consid-erably different appearance. These are solid looking, slimy, fleshy. They range in color from light yellow to dark brown. In general, a sponge must be cut to size with a knife. Care to see a prepared sponge? Stop by Culp Bros, Lighthouse Ave. 3

Side track – Tidbits from here and there• The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is free to the public. Hours are daily

from 10 until 6 o’clock except on Sundays and holidays. All are welcome.• Be advised that the Carnegie Library’s hours are changing. Effective September 30,

the library will be open from 1:30 to 8:30. Stop by for a look at our books.• The secret society, the Pacific Grove Ancient Order of Foresters, will met every

Thursday evening beginning at 8 in Scobie Hall.

And the cost is …• The White is king of the sewing machines. This rotary makes both lock and chain

stiches easily. Up-to-the minute attachments accompany your machine. The White can be sold on the basis of easy payments. Prices start at $21.50, cabinet included. We also offer vibrator styles. Send for our free, beautiful catalog. Write White Sew-ing Machine Company, 1160 Market Street, San Francisco.

• We have baseballs with cork centers. $1.25 each. Cramer’s, 547 Lighthouse.

Notes from the author …1 Films were referred to as flickers because of the irregular, flicking motion. 2 Both belaying pins and cleat, were used to secure mast and sail ropes.3 While this is an example of an adversorial, an ad combining advertising with news or

feature content, sponges are interesting creatures. Today, most sponges are artificially made from wool, silk, or a special grass.

BID and City to Offer Rebates for Cleaning Your Awnings

As we all know, gull season is upon us. While the City and BID are gener-ously power-washing the sidewalks, awnings in the downtown district remain an issue.

More Money Down Adds to U.S. First-Time Buyer Blues: EconomyBy Kevin Stone Monterey County Association of Realtors®

Many prospective buyers of the least expensive homes in the U.S. are facing a variety of challenges that are difficult to overcome on the path to homeownership. Such obstacles, combined with the expectation of having to offer more cash up front, threaten to derail the younger generation from entering the housing market, according to Susan Wachter, a professor of real estate and finance at the University of Pennsyl-vania’s Wharton School. She stated, “If higher down payments persist, we will have a millennial generation that’s missing in action in homeownership.”

In addition to stagnant wages, growing student debt, and competition from inves-tors, those looking to purchase moderately priced houses must also provide more cash up front.

The median down payment for the cheapest 25 percent of properties sold in 2013 was $9,480, compared with $6,037 in 2007.

The higher bar is a symptom of still-tight credit that is crowding out first-time buyers even as interest rates remain near historical lows. Younger adults, who would normally be making initial forays into real estate, are among those most affected.

The median down payment for the cheapest 25 percent of homes was 7.5 percent of the sales price last year, up from a low of 3.1 percent in 2006 and compared with an average 4.2 percent from 2001 through 2007.

One of the main reasons for the jump is that fewer first-time buyers are applying for loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration, which require smaller down payments, after the government agency boosted mortgage-insurance premiums.

Some of those borrowers may be going to private lenders that demand bigger down payments instead. In 2013, 39 percent of first-time buyers used FHA loans, which gen-erally require 3.5 percent down, compared with 56 percent in 2010.

First-time purchasers accounted for 28 percent of all sales of previously owned homes in June, compared with about 40 percent historically. A dearth of first-time buy-ers is pushing down the national homeownership rate, which fell in the second quarter to its lowest level since 1995.

PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE

Institute for Political Studies:The Congressmen on Mt. Olympus

WASHINGTON, D. C. ….. When Congressmen are stumping for votes they spend as much time as possible mingling with the people they hope will elect them. They are sensitive to the mood of the voters and knowledgeable concerning the issues in their district. But, after they are elected, they move away from their local community and spend most of their time in Washington, D. C.

Eventually, Congressmen spend less and less time with the people they represent and more and more time with fellow Congressmen. Soon, this elite group of men and women, like the gods on Mt. Olympus, come to live in their own artificial world where they make deals, create laws and tinker with the lives of their distant constituents.

There is no reason for our political leaders to huddle together in a geographically small area. In fact, there is a good reason why they shouldn’t. If the Senate and the House of Representatives were in session and the President in the White House, a concentrated terrorist attack could kill most of our country’s leaders.

Until fairly recently, the problem was unavoidable. When our founding fathers set up the system under which our nation was to be governed, they had never seen a telephone, automobile, train, airplane, computer, or even an electric light bulb.

Today we have fiber optics, satellite and microwave communications and a host of advanced technologies for transmitting information. Communications are now faster between the most distant parts of our country than they were between neighboring homesteads when our country was founded.

If our founding fathers were alive today and faced with the task of setting up the mechanics of a new government, they would obviously use existing technology. They would use it whenever possible providing it did not endanger or limit the power of representative government.

The Institute for Political Studies recommends that Congressmen live and work in their own districts. Using modern technology, they will still have instant access and communication with any branch or individual in government. Unlike the gods on Mt. Olympus, our elected leaders must be accountable and accessible. By being part of the local community, they can represent their constituents in a way in which our founding fathers would have wholeheartedly approved.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if modern technology brought us back to the simple form of representative government envisioned by our country’s first political leaders?

Pacific Grove Police Celebrate Anniversary

One of the landmarks of the Pacific Grove Police Department is the iconic sign prohibiting molestation of butterflies which hung in George Washington Park. At that time, the monarchs roosted there in pine trees. It was up to the Pacific Grove Police Department to enforce the ordinance. Now, as the department reaches the age of 125 years, the butterflies have moved to the eucalyptus trees near the Adult School and police have other serious crimes to worry about. This photo hangs in the lobby of the police department along with other landmark photos of the department’s history from 1898 forward.

The photos hang above a display cabinet with department mementos, including a 1937 police whistle; confiscated weapons like brass knuckles; a police log book with an entry that says “John Steignbeck [sic] reports a hit and run accident” and others. The display cabinet was once in the hall near the chief’s office.

Photos of prior chiefs, of course, line the seating area in the lobby.

Cdr. McSorley reports that some flooring has been replaced and other minor repairs have been made to spruce up the station house.

Pacific Grove Public Library SurveyPacific Grove residents were recently mailed a Pacific Grove Public Library Survey.

The goal of this survey is to gather input from the community in order to develop a strategic plan for the future of the library based on input from Pacific Grove citizens.

The Pacific Grove Public Library exists to serve the community. “The mission of the library is to provide a welcoming place and balanced collection while preserving the past and planning for the future.” The broad range of input from the community based on this survey will provide an understanding of what the community wants from their library. This input will enable the development of a plan for the future based on information from the community members themselves.

Libraries are always changing, especially now in our technological world. The question is: How can the library best serve community needs as we move forward? The Friends of the Library have funded this survey—no city funds were used.

Please provide your ideas on how the Pacific Grove Public Library can best serve you now and in years to come. Visit http://pglibrarysurvey.questionpro.com to fill out the survey or visit the library to obtain a paper survey and submit it via mail or drop it off at the library. Your input is valued!

LUNCH & DINNER$895EVERY DAY!

By Barbara Russek

I have many great memories of the time I spent in Pacific Grove this past summer.

Looking out at the ocean on a sunny day in July when the air was so crisp I had to throw a jacket on over my turtleneck.

After doing quite a bit of walking around town, finally getting to the top of a hilly street without being totally winded.

But what affected me most were the people I met—particularly a few spec-tacular senior citizens. In spite of chal-lenges they face and advancing years, they still have, each in his/her own way, a great interest in life, a certain joie de vivre. That combination is what I call character.

Emma, for example, a blind woman of 77, got my attention from the mo-ment we started talking on the bus. Formerly sighted, she can now only distinguish between light and dark. Un-daunted, she has found a way to remain independent in her own home-- by hav-ing housemates, enjoy gardening and even tend to some rental units she owns.

John and I got to talking on the bus when we were both headed to a Buddy Holly revival concert. A man of 79, John had moved to the Pacific Grove area to undergo medical treatment for a serious heart problem. When I asked him if he was afraid, he answered im-mediately. “Why should I spend the day in fear when I could have fun going to Big Sur?” (a metaphor, he explained, for any enjoyable activity.) And go he does. John and I met many times on the bus after that.

But it was Julia that I got to know the best. I found out about her while serving up salad at a local event. When a fellow server found out I was a former classroom French teacher, she told me I must meet Julia, age 86, born in France but living right here in PG.

Waiting for Julia a few minutes ahead of our appointed rendezvous, I thought, “How will I recognize her?” I needn’t have been concerned. Very soon, an elegant, slender very French-looking woman walked toward me smiling. “Bonjour, Barbara, Enchan-tée,” (pleased to meet you) she began, warmly extending her hand.

Over tea, I listened fascinated, as Julia talked about her life. Born in Saint-Florent-sur-Chur in central France, Julia was married for more than 50 years and lived in Michigan for 30 of them. After her husband’s death l0 years ago, she moved to PG, where she lives in the guesthouse of her son and daughter-in-law.

Julia joins family every night for dinner, even partaking of the occasional glass of red wine. When I teasingly asked if she indulges in the famous pa-tisserie francaise (French pastry), Julia responded, “Once is a while, I will have an éclair au chocolat—but only once in a while.” (Hmmm, maybe the mystique of the slim French woman isn’t such a secret after all!)

Even though her hands are arthritic and she has some macular degenera-tion, Julia is always on the go. Walking is one of her favorite activities—she strolls along the ocean for about two hours six days a week and walks to church on Sunday. “I love to walk,” she said. “Walking makes me happy. I have to walk to live.”

Her other interests include reading (world history in particular), listening to classical music, taking aerobics at the senior center and meeting with friends for good conversation and laughter.

Blessed with an intense curiosity about life and an interest in others, Julia continues to travel. Every summer for the past l0 years she has gone alone to France, dividing her time between staying with family in Saint-Florent-sur-Cher and spending several weeks in a hotel in Paris, close enough for her to walk to The Louvre, Musee d’Orsay and even the Sacre Coeur church, perched on the top of a steep hill.

With her many interests enjoyed in an ideal climate and close to fam-ily, Julia admits to getting a little down from time to time.

“But, “she said, ‘I will not allow myself to be sad. I want to be happy.”

Perhaps that’s the greatest secret of all to her longevity.

I did a semester of my university studies in Córdoba, an enchanting, sun-kissed city in Andalucia in the south of Spain. Typical of European towns, old-town Córdoba had a labyrinth of zigzag-ging alleyways that led to various land-marks including the plaza mayor (main square); old churches; museums; and the famous Mezquita (Mosque), just one of the many remaining pieces of evidence

Salmorejo, (Cold, Andalucian Tomato Soup) of Arab influence on Spanish culture. Summer days in Andalucia are long and hot, and in the evening after a siesta and evening stroll, we would settle in to the one of the countless bar-restaurants for an ice-cold caña (a small cup of draft beer) and some tapas. One of my favorite tapas is salmorejo, a cold tomato soup, served in a small clay dish and topped with a drizzle of olive oil, jamon Serrano, and diced hard-boiled eggs. Like many dishes around the world, I believe this dish comes from the need to use up excess produce or inconsumable goods, that is, super-ripe tomatoes and stale bread. Soaking stale bread in mashed up, overripe tomatoes and flavoring it with olive oil, salt, and garlic is the ingenious invention of old Andalu-cian grandmas that is relished in Spanish gastronomy today. ¡Que aproveche! (The Spanish equivalent to Bon appetit!)

Salmorejo Prep time: 20 minutes Serves 4

Ingredients

1 lb. ripe tomatoes One slice of stale bread (I used ciabatta, but any bread can be used) ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 1-2 cloves of garlicSalt, to tasteHard-boiled egg and/or jamon Serrano (dry-cured ham), for garnish

PreparationSlice tomatoes in quarters and blend

in a blender until smooth. Pass through a colander to separate out tomato skins and seeds, discard skins, seeds, and other chunks. Chop up the stale bread, add it to the tomato mixture, and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften. After bread is moist-ening, add olive oil, garlic, and salt and blend again in the blender until the bread is fully dissolved and incorporated. Place in shallow, dishes to serve and top with the chopped up hard-boiled egg, jamon Serrano, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Salmorejo is a cold tomato soup enjoyed by the Spanish. It might be garnished with hard-boiled egg, and it might include dry-cured ham.

Golf Tips

The PGA championship is a special week for me as a PGA profes-sional and my fellow professionals across the country.

Watching the tournament I noticed that many of the best players in the world do not sink every putt when they are on the putting green. You know as I do no one sinks every putt but a goal is to repeat the putting stroke every time to give you the best chance .

A great drill is to set up to a practice putt on the practice green, put a tee on each end of your putter with a little room to move your putter back and through. Start about four feet from the hole and start putting with a ball. The tees will act like a channel guide for you to repeat your putting stroke.

This is what the pros do and I know this week at the PGA all of them want to repeat for more putts.

By Leslie Patten

When I arrived at the dock in Monterey, checkbook in hand, to add one more passenger to our previously booked party of three, Debi Shearwater took one look at me and yelled, “When I say cash, I mean cash! I only take cash at the dock!” She then pointed me in the direction of the nearest ATM and barked, “You’re late. You better hurry it up.”

Normally, I would be more upset with this kind of greeting, but that Octo-ber morning I felt like I was on a movie set. The infamous Debi Shearwater had spoken to me in exactly the fashion I would expect from her character, played by Anjelica Huston, in the “The Big Year.” If you haven’t seen the movie, it is well worth watching to see Owen Wilson more than meet his match with the likes of Captain Debi Shearwater.

To be fair, I had been forewarned, and after three frantic swipes with my debit card, I was able to deduct the needed cash. Of course, in my ex-citement I managed to dump almost everything from my purse, including my cell phone, which a waiter from one of the restaurants on the wharf kindly retrieved for me. When I finally showed up at the boat with my wad of cash to join my 14- year-old son, his 13-year-old friend, and my 10-year-old daughter, they were already on board listening to Debi Shearwater. Her instructions were loud and clear: “No standing on the bow. Two feet on the deck at all times, and men, no peeing on the toilet seat.” And we were off for what would turn out to be an absolutely magical, life-changing journey.

Like all the other binocular-clad passengers on the boat, we were there for the birds. My son and his friend had become avid birders after a two-year stint with Pat Stadille, Nature Studies teacher extraordinaire at Carmel Middle School, and I, deemed the least likely to get seasick of the four parents, was their designated chaperone. The truth is I was as excited as the kids. In addition to meeting the infamous Debi Shearwater, it was my hope to see an albatross and a whale on this trip. When I realized I could very well see both, I couldn’t bear the thought of my daughter missing out, thus the last-minute addition to our party. As it turned out, none of us would be disappointed.

As we motored our way from the dock, our senses were heightened in anticipation. There was the familiar barking of dozens of sea lions, and then our first sighting, a single Snowy Egret in the morning light. This wasn’t a new bird for any of us, but its striking im-age was burned into our memories. Of course there were gulls at all times, since we were chumming with popcorn, squid, and fish oil, but before we knew it we were watching a pod of Risso’s dolphins galloping across the waves. They were the largest dolphins I had ever seen. As far as I was concerned I had already seen my whale, and we were less than

Shearwater Journeys: There’s nothing like your first albatross

a half an hour out. Little did I know we would see Dall’s porpoises, hump-back whales, and so many orcas my son would eventually turn his back on three to spot a new species of shearwater. We also saw mola molas, those incredible ocean sunfish that average 2,000 pounds, along with baby molas, just a little larger than a Frisbee, floating on the top of the ocean. It was a freeway teeming with life out there.

And there is nothing like your first albatross. On numerous occasions my children and I had admired the Black-footed Albatross mounted in the Natural History Museum in Pacific Grove, but to see that six-foot-plus wing span in flight was something else, and to see it bank and hover, and eventually land in the water only a few feet away was some-thing else again. Little did we know we would see dozens of Black-footed Albatross before the day was over.

As for other birds, my daughter fell in love with Elegant Terns, and the boys each added eleven pelagic birds to their life lists. As it turns out, Pelagic birds spend the majority of their life out on the open ocean, venturing onto land only to breed, and Monterey Bay is one of the best places in the world to see them.

Some of the birds the boys spotted on their own, excitedly flipping through their Peterson guides, but most were pointed out by Debi Shearwater or one of her co-leaders: “It’s a Black-vented Shearwater at two o’clock!” “There’s a Rhinoceros Auklet at eleven o’clock!” We quickly got used to the idea that the bow of the boat was 12 o’clock and the stern was 6 o’clock, and when Debi Shearwater got excited about a sighting, we got excited.

When things eventually quieted down, my daughter and I gazed out over the sparkling water while the boys helped chum by tossing pieces of squid off the stern. It had turned out to be one of the warmest and calmest days of the fall birding season. Debi Shearwater sat down beside me, and we chatted like old friends about her season and my kids. Her tours aren’t necessarily geared toward children, and she was impressed with my children’s interest in birds and their comfort level on the water. “Even your daughter has her own binoculars,” she noted, and we spoke of the possibil-ity of a field trip for middle schoolers.

Every moment seemed to offer something new, and I was as delighted with the close flying Brown Pelicans that escorted us in as I was by anything else that day. I had never noticed how pterodactyl-like they are. I had never really enjoyed their spectacular plum-age in full display. I even had a new appreciation for the gulls that followed us so far out beyond the trench and back. I felt like I saw them in their element out there. I would never underestimate their power and grace again.

At the wharf, the colors seemed more garish, the sounds more cacopho-nous than ever. The pier was so crowded it looked like people would start tum-

bling into the ocean at any moment. To our surprise it was only two o’clock in the afternoon; we still had half the day ahead of us. It was probably just my sea legs, but back on shore I felt like I was trembling. Had I really seen all I had seen?

What do you do after a morning like that? Well, there was always the

Ice Cream Shoppe in Pacific Grove and Crespi Pond, a freshwater haven for seabirds and shore birds, nestled on the municipal golf course near Asilomar Beach. So off we went in search of a Tropical Kingbird and a little coconut and raspberry sorbet.

How many of us who live near the sea ever leave the shore?

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts Otter Views

Pacific Grove has gone to the dogs. “Oh, that is not true”, you say “PG is charming, hospitable and beautiful.” That is true, but have you noticed how many of our canine friends are taking advantage of the amenities? They are all over the streets, strutting along the sidewalks with their charges (dogs don’t have masters, dogs own their people, society simply hasn’t recognized this). They prance and dance or walk sedately, pulling their friends into stores that offer “treats.” They volunteer at Animal Friends Rescue Project Treasure Shop, and greet customers with enthusiasm. They accompany their people to places of business and cozy up to customers or clients. They meet their friends at Rip Van Winkle Open Space where they can romp off leash. They are seen on Asi-lomar State Beach and Recreational Trail, walking with decorum on leash. They sit in the patios of dog friendly restaurants. There are, naturally naysayers, those who do not like canines and accuse them of barking, biting, leaving “poop,” and, oh no, smelling and slobbering. Of the final charge they can be guilty, but so can many humans who complain about dogs. Dogs are our best friends, they forgive us our trespasses, even those against them (Bill Sikes was adored by Bull’s Eye who was beaten regularly), We provide them with food, comfort on their own beds (or ours), medical attention and most of all love, hopefully as unconditional as theirs for us. This is not to undermine the value of cats, but this festival is all about dogs, kitties, your turn will come. Don’t have a dog, not to worry there will be plenty there “to get your doggie fix...”

To honor our best friends Pacific Grove Rotary Club will present the third an-nual Fiesta del Perro on September 27, from 11:00 until 4:00 in the field behind Robert Down School, 485 Pine Avenue in Pacific Grove. The event will benefit such activities as Smiles for Life and IHELP dinners, Polio Plus, RotaCare Clinic, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and Animal Friends Rescue Project. There will be a children’s art show for PGUSD students, Kindergarten through 5th grade. Will Bullas, who created the poster, will again, be a judge for the competition assisted by Jim Dultz and David Laws. The top winners will receive ribbons, but all participants are considered winners and will be given tokens of appreciation. The winner’s art work will appear on the web site www.fiestadelperro.com. Will and Jim will judge a pet parade and best costume of dogs who deign to wear them. There will be prizes for happiest dogs, funniest dogs and cutest dogs among others. There will be music provided by Matt Bosworth’s group, Rocks, Paper, Scissors, food under the guidance of Don Livermore with vendors from PG’s Farmers’ Market and his own spectacular wagon. There will booths offering informa-tion and goods available throughout the day. Music and contests take place between 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Demonstrations take place at 12:30 featuring Disc Dogs of the Golden Gate, Carmel Canine Sport Center Duck Herding, Del Rey Oaks K9 Unit, Treiball, SMART Agility and D-Dog Agility, and Search Dog Foundation. Guess what? You have no dog or want another; there will be many there for adoption, just waiting to be part of your family.

If this doesn’t sound like fun for you, ask your dog. Does he or she know that there will be a raffle just for pups? For a 50-cent donation they can buy tickets to win a basket of treats, toys or other delectable items. All who purchase a ticket will get some treats and a tennis ball. There will be a silent auction table of wonderful prizes, baskets such as HOT DOG and assorted items donated by local merchants. An on line auction will feature the original art work for the poster, memorabilia from San Francisco Giants with autographed balls of former great players, as well as valuable items from The San Jose Sharks, and tickets for Giants’ games. A year of restaurants will be given and tickets for local theatrical and cinematic events.

We look forward to the community supporting this activity and hope that those who would like to have a booth will contact us.

Going to the Dogs

PG boasts many fine antique stores, but seeing a whole parking lot full of antiques – other than autos, that is – usually requires a drive out of town. Up in the Bay Area, Alameda hosts a mighty antique sale each month. Dealers also show their wares regu-larly at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, but that’s a serious haul from here.

Less frequent events draw antique hunters to regional destinations like Moss Landing, San Juan Bautista, and the “Goat Hill” sale at the Santa Cruz Fairgrounds in Watsonville. Not as far as Alameda or the Rose Bowl, certainly, but still a chunk of drive time.

Thus it was a kick to drive a mere 10 minutes on Sunday to Monterey Peninsula College. There, 90 antiques vendors from near and far had assembled for the first in a series of monthly sales. Bivouacked over several acres in one of the school’s parking lots, the vendors ranged from small specialty collectors to major sellers whose inven-tories filled container trucks.

As the owner of a much smaller truck, I had offered to help a friend transport two tables, a child’s roll-top desk and four kitchen chairs that wouldn’t fit into her car. Be-neath a small striped tent, these furnishings would join two sets of China cups, several lamps, and a small array of vintage linens, house wares and kitchen wares.

Assuming the other vendors would have equally modest setups, I was dumbstruck by the size and scale of most enterprises. One crew emptied an entire truck full of an-tique juke boxes, kiddy cars, rocket ship rides and other weighty amusements from the 1950s. A neighboring vendor heaved from his trailer massive furnishings made from old redwood burls, wine vats and railroad ties.

From trucks, trailers, vans, RVs and power wagons spilled an immense cornucopia of goods far too numerous and varied to detail here. Everything on offer was supposed to be “antique” or “vintage” or to have been derived therefrom. Remiss in my antiquarian categories, I can only attest that many thousands of time-enhanced, ruggedly durable prior-owned goods were for sale.

Among the things I recognized were Underwood typewriters, six-strand rattan arm chairs, very old firearms, cameras and hand tools; Navy officers’ hats, World War Two rifles, wrought iron lamps, stained glass windows, leather bomber jackets, 1940s swivel chairs and roll top desks, period oil paintings, commercial hair dryers, hand-made briar pipes, “silkie” aloha shirts, and every car, boat, plane and motorcycle medallion ever stamped out.

And that was just one booth.By 8 a.m., when the first shoppers arrived to peruse all this swag, the village of

antiques and collectibles extended over eight full rows of the MPC parking lot. It made an impressive sight. The conical tents and bright banners gave the scene a quasi-medieval aspect, as if Charlemagne’s army had encamped there overnight.

Alas for the army of vendors, the hoped-for army of Monterey area shoppers did not materialize. Several theories were advanced for this, the principal one being the sale’s unfortunate debut on the last day of “car week.”

The out-of-town dealers, some of whom had driven five or six hours to get to Monterey by dawn, were perplexed.

“Where is everybody?” one asked. “At Alameda and the Rose Bowl, the pickers are already there at 5 a.m., shopping by flashlight.”

“Well, this is the last day of the Concours d’Elegance,” I explained, “the classic car show out at Pebble Beach?”

“So the Monterey antique hunters are all there?”“Not necessarily. Car Week generates epic, bumper-to-bumper traffic jams every

year, so a lot of locals stay home. Others vacate the area entirely. That might have dampened your turnout.”

The fearless souls who did hazard the drive to MPC between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday found beautiful weather, 90 eager merchants, and the aforementioned plethora of antique and vintage goods. A coffee vendor and a food truck were also on hand.

I wanted to get to church after helping my friend set up, so I left as the first shop-pers strolled through. I returned in the afternoon for the breakdown.

“How did you do?” I asked. “I sold one of the tables.”“The heavy one?” I asked hopefully.“No, the other one. But that’s still one less table to bring back.”All around us, other vendors were disassembling their stalls, tents and booths and

packing up whatever merchandise hadn’t sold. They worked with dispatch and efficiency, like roadies breaking down a rock show or carneys moving a circus to the next town.

As a very amateur antiques transporter, I was awed by the ingenious packing, load-ing and stowage systems the seasoned vendors had perfected. In what seemed jig time, counters full of jewelry, racks of clothing, rooms full of furniture, walls of paintings and tables of military paraphernalia vanished neatly into vehicles that seemed far too small to contain them all.

Then they all drove back home to prep for Alameda and the Rose Bowl.

Antiques Galore


The Heritage Society of Pacific Grove is pleased to announce the open-ing of the new Point Pinos Lighthouse gift shop.

The City of Pacific Grove and the Heritage Society several years ago en-tered into an agreement where the Soci-ety would begin the restoration and pres-ervation of the lighthouse. One of the projects was to replicate two outbuild-ings that existed on the property during the property’s many iterations. The result of years of work and planning came to fruition on July 5 when the second of the two buildings opened, housing a 165 sq. ft. gift shop. Both the City and the Society agreed that an ongoing source of revenues needed to be brought into the business plan in order to assure adequate funding to maintain the property and continue the restoration and preservation project. The gift shop will, hopefully, assure those goals. All the merchandise sale proceeds go back into the lighthouse restoration fund maintained by the Soci-ety. Because all the attendants in the gift shop are volunteers, as are the docents in the lighthouse main building, they are able to control overhead.

Although the structures are ‘rep-licas’ of past outbuildings, certain alterations became necessary to stay in compliance with current building codes. The buildings are actually 3 ft. longer and one foot wider than the originals. This change was necessary to accom-modate the (also) new ADA compliant restroom facility.

The new gift shop is selling mer-chandise that is “lighthouse-centric,” concentrating on our local historic structure. Hats, T-shirts, magnets, pins, and lighthouse models are displayed alongside some local artist’s consigned artwork. The shop is open the same hours as the lighthouse: Every day from 1 to 4pm EXCEPT that they are closed Tuesday and Wednesday. “Come out and visit and don’t forget us during the holiday season. Some unique gifts will brighten someone’s holiday,” said Den-nis Tarmina, Lighthouse volunteer and spearhead of the restoration.

“We are looking for committed volunteers,” he continued. Volunteering at the gift shop requires only a commit-ment of one to two 4 hour days each month. “We try to arrange your volun-teer time to accommodate your personal schedule.”

To volunteer email Dennis at [email protected] or Nina at [email protected].

Point Pinos Lighthouse Gift Shop Now Open

The original lighthouse had outbuildings, though they were smaller than the new outbuildings, one of which houses the gift shop. The new replicas had to meet modern buildings codes. Photo courtesy Pat Hathaway.

If you have a social media account such as Facebook or Twitter, there is no doubt you are familiar with the fundraising phenomenon known as the #IceBucketChallenge. The goal of the challenge is to support research and awareness of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

The idea is simple: donate at least $10 to the ALS Association, post a video to the internet of yourself getting drenched by a bucket of ice water, and challenge three oth-ers to do the same. This idea has gone viral and has swept the nation: ordinary folks, famous athletes such as Aaron Rodgers and Sydney Crosby, celebrities such as Gwen Stefani and Oprah Winfrey, and governors such as Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley, have all taken the “plunge.” Even 86-year-old Ethel Kennedy poured a bucket of ice cold water on her head for the cause!

It may sound goofy, but numbers do not lie: in the few weeks from July 29, 2014 through August 19, 2014, the ALS Association raised $22.9 million compared to only $1.9 million over the same period last year. Regardless of what any critics might say, this fundraiser has been nothing short of sensational.

While I think everyone should participate in the #IceBucketChallenge (my entire family has done it, including my four-year-old son), there are of course many other ways that you can benefit your favorite charitable causes. Below are the common ways you can leave a legacy by making a charitable gift through your estate plan. (The text is taken from a brochure I wrote for Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula about planned giving. Contact Meals on Wheels if you would like a copy of the full brochure.)

Traditional Planned Giving StrategiesCash Bequest

Leave a specific cash amount or percentage of your estate to one or more charities in your will or trust.

Bequest of Property A bequest of specific property through your will or trust ensures that your favorite charity receives specific assets such as securities or real estate that the charity can sell, using the proceeds toward its charitable mission.

Retirement Plan You can also designate your favorite charity as the beneficiary of the remainder of your IRA, Keogh, tax-sheltered annuity, qualified pension or profit-sharing plan upon death.

Contingent Bequest Your favorite charity is given a bequest only in the event of the death of other beneficiaries, such as your children and grandchildren.

Other Planned GiftsWhen outright gifts are not practical, you might consider one of the following op-

tions to help you accomplish your goals. Giving strategies such as the ones listed below offer numerous tax advantages and are valuable tools in estate and financial planning. Your attorney, accountant or financial planner will know how best to design a giving strategy that best meets your needs.

The Charitable Reminder Trust – If you have a highly appreciated asset that you would like to exchange for a guaranteed stream of income but are concerned about having to pay exorbitant capital gains taxes, consider creating a charitable remainder

Ice, Ice BabyConfidentiality, Privilege, and Taxes

Pretty much anybody who watches crime shows on television knows about attorney-client privilege. This is how murderers can admit the details of their crimes to their attorneys and the communication is protected from discovery by the courts.

But what about tax related communications with your accountant? Unfortu-nately, there are not a lot of television shows featuring taxpayers admitting the gory details to their accountants on how they swindled the IRS. That said, prime time dramas are probably not the best place to learn about the legal and accounting world anyway!

Misinformed people will sometimes think they can sit down with their CPA and contrive ways to scheme the IRS, or that they can openly discuss all the income they took in under the table and did not report. Communications with a CPA are confi-dential due to professional standards, but they usually do not qualify for evidentiary confidentiality privilege in a court of law. This means the CPA should not disclose the information to other parties without your permission, but if questioned in a court of law, the information would have to be disclosed. The other problem a CPA would have knowing the skeletons in your closet, is that a CPA (or any preparer) cannot knowingly file a false return.

So you may think you should hire a tax attorney to prepare your returns in order to get privilege. That actually won't work either. One of the main tenets of attorney-client privilege is that if you do not treat the information as confidential and you disclose it to a third-party other than your attorney and his or her associates, then you have lost your privilege. Since tax returns are inherently a third-party commu-nication for disclosure to the taxing authorities, it has been ruled that tax preparation services are not afforded attorney-client privilege. In fact, there have been inter-esting cases where attorneys have lost their attorney-client privilege because they included estate tax preparation as part of their engagement with the client.

Tax advice, however, is a different story. For engagements that strictly involve tax advice, and not tax preparation, attorney-client and accountant-client privilege is extended. Accountant-client privilege has more limitations than attorney-client privilege as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 7525. Most notably is that accountant-client privilege does not extend to criminal matters before the IRS or Federal courts, nor does it apply to tax shelters designed for tax evasion.

As previously discussed, the disclosure of information to a third-party gener-ally waives the attorney-client privilege. An exception to this rule is if the attorney needs the assistance of another professional (such as an accountant) in order to ren-der legal advice to the client. A Kovel letter (based on the 1961 case) can be drafted and signed by the accountant and attorney which essentially extends the attorney-cli-ent privilege to the accountant. The accountant is then, in essence, working for the attorney and not the ultimate client. This does provide additional protections, but it still would not provide protections for tax return preparation.

Harry, as the 2500-year old man, is being interviewed by son-in-law Andy.

Andy: Your amazing longevity and remarkable memory have made you a treasure trove of information, for which I thank you.

Harry: My pleasure.A: You told us some fascinating things about Washington and Lincoln. Were you ac-

quainted with any other U.S. Presidents?H: All of them. I was such a frequent visitor to the White House that they wanted to

name a room after me, but I decided to give the honor to Lincoln.A: Very commendable. What prompted them to have you visit so often?H: They wanted the benefit of my extensive experience. For example, I recommended

and then brokered the deal for Jefferson to buy the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon and was paid a commission by each side.

A: That must have made you a wealthy man.H: It would have, but I gave it all to The Salvation Army.A: I didn’t know it existed that far back.H: Who do you think started it?A: Would it be all right if I named some Presidents at random and you provided your

offhand comments?H: Fire away.A: Jack Kennedy.H: A very sexy man—in fact, too much so. He had beautiful women running in and out

of the White House as if it was a bargain basement store.A: William Howard Taft.H: A big man. I mean really big---300 pounds at least. Did you know he served as Chief

Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court after he was President?A: I believe I do recall that.H: Well, during his term the court consisted of eight judges instead of the usual nine.A: Why was that?H: Because Taft was so big, he took up two seats.A: Richard Nixon.H: A very suspicious man. He had spies everywhere and didn’t trust them, so he sent

more spies to follow them. So you had spies spying on spies, and that led to a lot of confusion.

A: Bill Clinton.H: He’s always had a problem keeping his zipper closed--so much so, that Hillary finally

had a tiny padlock installed on it to which she has the only key.A: Doesn’t that create a problem when he has to go to the bathroom?H: She goes with him.A: Gerald Ford.H: Lyndon Johnson stole my comment about him, which was: “He’s the only man I

know who can’t walk down the street and chew gum at the same time.”A: Teddy Roosevelt.H: Very gung ho. He singlehandedly won the Spanish-American War and built the

Panama Canal.A: Franklin Delano Roosevelt.H: Loved martinis, poker and cigarettes; and the cigarettes he was shown smoking

didn’t contain tobacco.A: What was in them?H: Mexican Gold. That’s why he was always smiling.A: Lyndon Johnson.H: Became a champion of civil rights after it was discovered that his great grandmother

was a slave.A: Astounding! I never heard that before.H: That’s because I just made it up.A: Dwight Eisenhower.H: A great general, but terrible golfer. He was so bad, an extra detail of Secret Service

agents was assigned just to chase after his golf balls.A: Andrew Jackson.H: Great general, loved to fight. When he was told that a treaty had been signed that

ended the War of 1812, he said, “To hell with it. I’m fighting the Battle of New Orleans anyway.”

A: Ulysses S. Grant.H: Great general, heavy drinker. It was to help him that I founded Alcoholics Anony-

mous, which had its first meetings in the White House.A: Did he attend?H: He sent the Vice President to represent him.

trust. During your life, you will obtain an income tax deduction, you will be able to defer capital gains tax, and you will be able to obtain a guaranteed stream of income for life. At death, your favorite charity will be entitled to the remainder.

The Charitable Lead Trust – A charitable lead trust is the reverse of a charitable remainder trust and offers many of the same benefits such as deferral of capital gains tax and a charitable deduction on your tax return. You transfer highly appreciated assets to the charitable lead trust. The trust pays your favorite charity a stream of income for a certain period of time. After that period of time expires, the remainder of the trust assets is either returned to you or paid to your beneficiaries.

Remainder Interests – (Real Estate) You can donate a remainder interest in your house or other real estate, and retain lifetime use of the property while living. You will get a current income tax deduction for the value of the remainder interest donated. After your death, proceeds from the sale of the property that you donated come to your favorite charity.
