Smoky air cancels Big Sur Half MarathonTraffic plans and other preparations

remain on paper and are not implemented.

Pacific Grove says ‘Thanks’ to all veterans

From the Half Marathon Website:

Due to the rapidly declining air quality situation in the Monterey Bay area, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Monterey Bay Half Marathon scheduled for tomor-row, November 11, 2018. For the last several hours, we have been monitoring weather outlets and tracking wind patterns in our area. This morning, during our 3K and 5K events, air quality was deemed “moderate” and safe for outdoor activity. Saturday afternoon, however, the wind shifted dramatically, blowing smoke from the northeast directly onto our peninsula.

Weather maps forecast that air quality in our area will remain in the “unhealthy” to “very unhealthy” area into Sunday afternoon. After consulting with our Medical Director and the National Weather Service, we have determined that it is not safe for runners, volunteers, staff, and other race-related personnel to participant in tomorrow’s scheduled events. We deeply apologize for the inconve-nience and disappointment that comes with canceling the race but we feel it is the appropriate course of action at this time.

We will notify all participants regarding future event consider-ations via email early next week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

By Win Bryson

This Sunday morning’s gathering for the Pt. Pinos for Veterans’ Day program brought a 2nd stream of thoughts to-heart. The morning’s ‘amber tinted’ sunlight and ‘log fire aroma’ replaced our normal coast salt-air. This ‘Camp’ wildfire’s smoke also brought ‘home’ the reality of the plight and tragedy for those millions of Californians in harms way from wild-fires up-and-down the state, not unlike a wartime assault - first responders, residents and emergency assistance alike needing our teamwork and support...now...as U.S. WWI Soldiers & Sailors did 100 years ago.

Approaching Pt. Pinos, the El Carmelo Cemetery across the street was resplendent in flag-lined roadway ‘dress’ with crisp breezes. My view from the gate of the many visitors throughout the cemetery was punctuated by a beautiful WWII Jeep mak-ing its way among the waving flags (toward Pt. Pinos). A mutual ‘wave & smile’ were exchanged as it passed-by.

Arriving early at Pt. Pinos, Councilman Ken Cuneo noted to me how the Veternas’ Day programs here were being attended more and more. I agreed, and how encour-aging that is to ensure no-one ‘forgets’ Vets, of any generation. We both agreed how wonderful the organization and support in for this program are, making it successful and inviting for all age groups, over and over. No small task.

Assembled at 10:30am, (who?) opened the program by announcing the ‘Presenta-tion of the Colors’ by the USAF Color Guard (1). Once set, the Color Guard remained with the Colors throughout the program. Once Set, (who?) (2) announced the Na-tional Anthem sung by the Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS) Chorus directed by Mr. Jared Masar. Inspiration continued with the Invocation by Capt. Philip Vincent, USAF Chaplain (3), and then the Pledge of Allegiance.

ing Mayor Bill Kampe, Councilman Ken Cuneo (4) provided an amazingly detail-packed picture of the times and circumstances leading up to (and into) WWI, including the infamous ‘Zimmerman Memo’, the discovery of which brought the U.S. in into the War. Albeit 100 years ago, many ‘lessons’ remain applicable now.

Now 11:00am, the bell was rung for the 11th-hour of the 11th-day of the 11th month in 1918 when WWI hostilities ceased. That was followed by the PGMS Chorus (5) singing ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’. While listening I wondered how many generations of kids have grown-up with this song.

The main guest speaker Lt. Col. Matthew Murphy, USAF (6), gave an interesting talk about the sound of leadership - quiet - and gave some examples in his experience. He also asked those kids still in school to stand and then let them know (and see) they are the leaders of the future so what they do even now is important. Capt. Philip Vincent followed with the Benediction, then Mayor Kampe (7) formally thanked all the program participants, and lastly all joined-in with the PGMS Chorus singing ‘God Bless America’. The program closed with the Color Guard retiring the Colors (8).

Thank you everyone. For the Vets, every day,

Win Bryson”

Ask ARK Lady

I’ve been spending a lot of time on foot and by car meandering the main streets and the small by-ways in my new town. It’s hard to imagine the population only hovers around the 15,000 mark, since the town boundaries seem to span quite a distance and there is housing most everywhere. Some of that housing must surely serve as second homes for those with who live and vote elsewhere.

It seems noteworthy that, contrary to what is found in most other burgs, there does not seem to be a ‘poor side of town’ here in PG. Certainly, there are some houses/gardens scattered here and there that could use some TLC, but there are not blocks of them, and the cared-for spots far outnumber those less fortunate.

Conversely, is there a ‘ritzy’ part of town? From my still-learning point of view, I would guess not really. The Beach Tract has some largish homes and grounds, as does the Forest Hill area. Apartment buildings dot the lots here and there, interspersed with some condos and the retirement facilities which are well known in these parts.

Historic cottages tend to cluster near the water, reflecting their original purpose of providing summer sanctuary for many of the Methodist retreaters and others who sought PG’s beach and cool climes.

These multi-colored, mostly Victorian homes are small in square footage but add large helpings of special character to this already-charming town. It’s lovely to wander the streets, noting the green historical plaques adorning so many of these abodes. What was it like to be here in those first years?

City facilities and commercial sites are often just a stone’s throw from parks and schools, giving the town a feeling of connectedness. Chain stores don’t feature much in the makeup of PG, which only increases the ‘hometown’ atmosphere. Downtown offers a little of everything, from hardware to fancy threads, to antiques, a cobbler and wonderful eateries and libation stations. With the expanding arts scene, there is also generous opportunity to enjoy, and perhaps purchase, local artists’ and artisans’ creations. For such a small town, there is a healthy variety of shopping experiences with real depth and breadth.

Factor in the terrific library, the ever-stunning recreation path, spiritual havens, and a golf course that is shared with Bambi and her many, many relatives, and who could ask for a fairer place to call home? I know I could not; after only five months, I feel I’ve arrived home in Pacific Grove.

Seasonal pet safety tips can help you avoid trouble and keep pets happy and healthy. Now that the winter holiday sea-son is upon us it is important to remember that celebrations can be happy events but they also need to be critter friendly.

There are a lot of different holiday dangers and seasonal threats that can be overlooked such as festive decora-tions, ornamental lighting, ingestion of inappropriate or toxic items, excessive consumption of rich foods or harmful food, candle flames, and more.

It is also important that both guests and family understand the need for re-straint when it comes to giv-ing food treats. Most people are not aware that rich foods and inappropriate feeding can create serious health hazards for those furry friends.

Dangerous holiday favorites include chocolate, coffee, onions, fatty foods, alcoholic beverages, and cooked bones. Grapes and raisins can also be hazardous.

Fortunately a few pet precautions can make the winter festivities into safe and humane holiday celebrations. Visitors and family members need to understand that slipping an animal the wrong snacks can really pose life threatening danger. Avoiding the need for emergen-cy veterinary visits can be prevented by clearly stating guidelines and/or taking preventative measures to avoid risk.

One of the easiest things to do, prior to any gatherings, is to make sure that the animals have been exercised so all excess energy is redirected before the excitement begins. In some cases it is easier (and safer) to keep pets away from the main festivities. Taking such measures removes all temptation and prevents unin-tentional harm or distress.

Good holiday etiquette means pets are mannerly and if not, restrained in adjacent areas by a baby gate or pet play pen so they can have their own “pet party.” Unless invited, pet owning guests should leave their animals safely at their home, or

Holiday Safety Tips for Pet Owners

have them confined comfortably in a travel crate away from the festivities. Pet sitters or holiday boarding can be good options.

A good household practice is to keep household animals occupied with their own treats and activities so they do not become pests.

Pets can be part of the family activities, but safety is first and foremost. It is much more manageable if you plan ahead or fine-tune your guest list to those who are pet people who will follow good petiquette rules. Watch for my Holiday Petiquette Tips in the next column.

• CEDAR STREET Times • November 16, 2018Tracy Allen Smith | February 10, 1965 - October 26, 2018

ObituaryTracy Allen Smith passed away peacefully on 26 October 2018 in Monterey, California. He was born in Dallastown, PA to Sue Smith on 10 February 1965. Tracy dedicated his life of 53 years to service for his country and his family. He is survived by his wife of 17 years Jennifer and his son Alexander (Xander).

An only child born of modest means, Tracy worked on a local fruit farm at the age of 12, managing it by age 15. Tracy graduated from Dallastown High School in 1983 where he excelled in both academics and sports. As Pennsylvania State Athlete of the Year, Tracy broke high school records for a running back including most touchdowns in a season and most touchdowns in one game. His record stood for 33 years.

Tracy attended Duke University on a football scholarship and was the Blue Devils’ leading rusher in 1986. He studied a semester at Cambridge University and then graduated from Duke with honors. He went on to earn a masters degree in International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh. Upon graduation, Tracy was a staff aide to Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford.

He then began working for a Washington DC based defense contractor where he traveled to Kazakhstan for the Defense Nuclear Agency to assist with the dismantlement of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Tracy then joined the CIA where, as an operations officer in the Counter Proliferation

Division, he specialized in counterterrorism and the counterproliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

In 1999, Tracy went on assignment to Budapest, Hungary where he tracked down nuclear material smugglers. There he met his wife, Jennifer Lee. He proposed two years later in London on the London Eye and they were married in Hallam, Pennsylvania on 21 October 2001.

Following their marriage, Tracy and Jen were stationed in Amman, Jordan where he worked with international allies on Counter Terrorism. Because of his WMD expertise, he was then deployed to Baghdad, Iraq.

After returning from the Middle East, Tracy founded his own defense contracting business. He then founded Operational Surveyors, which provides analytical and operational support to government agencies, private companies, and academic institutions.

In 2005, Tracy and Jen’s son Xander was born. Tracy loved being a father and cherished his wife and son. Tracy, Jen and Xander spent several wonderful years living in Incline Village, NV where Tracy served as a Boy Scout Leader and was an avid hiker. They moved to Pacific Grove, CA in 2016.

A fan of jazz music, Tracy served on the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Ambassadors Advisory Board. Later in his career, he founded The Global Resource Initiative (TGRI), a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the productivity and livelihood of people in the developing world through access to information, expertise and technology.

Tracy’s life of adventure included hiking Petra in Jordan, honeymooning along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, vacationing on the Turkish side of Cyprus, scuba diving in the Red Sea, and camping in the Wadi Rum Desert.

Those who so desire may make memorial contributions in memory of Tracy to TGRI. Donations may be sent to: TGRI, IHO Tracy Smith, 774 Mays Blvd, Suite 10-412, Incline Village, NV 89451

In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations”The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926.

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

God Bless America! Today is Veteran’s Day. To most or many of us, the offi-cial celebration is simply a day off. When I was young, it was known as Armistice Day, the anniversary of World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – which officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the elev-enth hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Perhaps because I spent my early days on an army post and my parents were exceedingly patriotic. My Mother’s family were early settlers of this country. They were not to the manor born, but as so many escaped from En-gland to enjoy freedom of religion. It is ironic that Benjamin Morse’s wife was accused of witchcraft in 1682, convicted and sentenced to death from which she was reprieved with sense began to prevail in New England. These folk came to America for a better life, as did my father and his family over two hundred years later.

What is happening today, appalls and frightens most of us. The hatred that prevails is something most of us have not seen before. I must confess I was not in the heart of things at the end of the Vietnam War, which was also a shameful time. When we hear about those returning from war with PTSD it is astounding that there are not more. I can’t imagine, how many of us can imag-ine the horrors they have seen and experienced. We should get on our knees and thank these brave people who have enabled us to remain unscathed, instead we wage a war within. We hear daily about mass murders. While I don’t own a gun and have reservations about guns in the home, I don’t believe weapons are the culprits. If someone wants a gun, he or she will get one, somehow. There needs to be more careful surveillance. In several cases we have learned that the perpetrator had demonstrated erratic behavior in the past and should have been locked-up somewhere. However, that is not the point of this column. I just wish we could return to the days when our eyes misted at a parade and our flag waving. Listen to Kate Smith and “God Bless America”.. think about what wounded warriors and those who didn’t make it back have given to us. For a moment, take a breath, shake hands with your political opponent and be thank-ful you live in a country where you have the freedom to express differences..

Market MattersLocal Real Estate Update

Patrick Ryan

Carmel 3rd Q 2017 vs. 2018

We will now shift our gaze to our very active, in the sense of residential real estate, neighbor of Carmel, California. Carmel is a very unique market with a style and substance all its own. It is truly an international destination for travelers and buyers of real estate. The following numbers reflect sales of single-family homes only, they do not include condos or townhomes. If any of you readers would like me to examine the sales of condos and/or townhomes in the future, just shoot me an email and let me know.

For quick reference to the table above, sold means the total amount of single family

homes that sold in 2017 and 2018. List price is what the home was listed for and sold price is what the home ultimately sold for. DOM stands for days on market, or how long it took the home to sell. Price per square foot is determined by dividing the final sales price by the square footage of the home, which can be useful when evaluating the asking price or determining the sales price of a home.

If we compare Carmel to Pacific Grove and Monterey, every metric is larger. From the amount of homes sold, the list price, the sold price, the days on market and the price per square foot, Carmel is higher than both Pacific Grove and Monterey. A note should be made that the MLS(Multiple Listing Service) expanded the geographical footprint of Carmel to reach out into the Valley and in the Highlands some, but the majority of the sales are in Carmel proper.

The largest increases were in the average list price and the average sold price with them going up 17.9% and 17.8% respectively. This coincides with a 10.5% increase in the price per square foot. The most expensive home sold in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was on Aquajito which sold for $6.76 million and the most expensive home in the 3rd quarter of 2018 was on Spindrift which sold for $8.475 million. The least expensive home in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was for $665,000 on Ocean Ave. and the least expensive home for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was on Mesa Rd. which sold for $525,000.

The only negative number in the table above is the average days on market, with a 13.3% decrease when comparing the 3rd quarter of 2018 vs. 2017. The longest days on market for 2017 was 685 days for a home on Peter Pan Road and the longest days on market for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was 614 days for a home located on Touche Pass. The shortest days on market was 2 days for 3rd quarter of 2018 and 1 day for the 3rd quarter of 2017.

Carmel continues to be a draw for the international buyer, much like portions of Pebble Beach. It is amazing to think that the average sales price is now above $2.2 million dollars. With a market this active, is it any wonder that the town is full of construction trucks everywhere. Next week we will take a look at Pebble Beach and then Seaside and Marina. Until then, please feel free to contact me with any questions. Cheers

The Carmel Valley Report

Bob Silverman

The image of rescued Steelhead Trout was provided by the Carmel Steelhead Association Chairmen Brian LeNeve. LeNeve said that “We rescued close to 3,000 fish this year with help from National Marine Fisheries Services”. The fish in the above image were rescued in the Cachagua area and released into the Carmel River. The Steelhead Association has been helping save the steelhead in the Carmel River and it would be interesting and educational to look at their web site on a regular basis as well as considering joining this group which is vital to the preservation of the fish and the river. When we moved to the Valley in 1988 the river had not reached the Ocean for quite sometime. It was a time of drought. In the early 1990’s efforts were undertaken to transport returning steelhead up river so that the Carmel River Steelhead would continue to survive. The Lamprey Els also swim up river with the steelhead. See the Cedar Street Times Report that I prepared on that subject on Dec. 16, 2016 which was also prepared with the help of LeNeve. The most recent meeting of the Steelhead Group was on Nov. 15. Check their web site for programs of educational interest and open to the public. Their meetings are held at the Carmel Area Wast Water District Community Room located at 3549 Rio Road, Carmel, Calif.The membership dues to join are $25.00 for one person or $45.00 for a family. The Association stated in its recent newsletter that “Our Carmel River run of steelhead was in excess of 18,000 in the 1920’s and has declined to an average of 242 recored fish over the San Clemente Dam between 2006 and 2015”.

Be sure to check the web site of the University Of California Hasting Natural History Reservation. We took a tour several years ago. You need to make reservations. It is located on Carmel Valley Road just east of the Carmel Valley Village. The Hasting website explains that there have been 500 research projects carried out at the location since 1937. The size of the Reservation is quite large and students from around the world join University Of California students in doing research. Most people that we talk to do not even know that it is there. It just as important as any research program in Monterey County.

Also be sure to visit the CARMEL VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY located on Carmel Valley Road near the Carmel Valley Village. Check their web site for times that they are open and consider joining a valuable educational group.

Stay tuned for more news of the Valley.

The Southern California housing market has been on a nearly seven-year tear, with prices in many communities reaching all-time highs. But now, as mortgage rates rise, the boom appears to be fading. Sales are dropping; inventory is swelling; more sellers are scaling back their ambitious asking prices.

The annals of postwar Southern California real estate history are full of boom-and-bust cycles, with periods of sharp price appreciation that suddenly skid to a halt.

Whether those ups and downs offer any guidance — or hope — for today’s homeowners is a subject for debate. Some of those who study the housing market predict annual price increases will slow. Others think values could dip. But there is general agreement that a meltdown is not in the offing, given a healthy economy and dearth of home building.

The current slowdown, said Christopher Thornberg of Beacon Economics, “is a bump in the road.” Of course, that’s what some said before the last two busts, in the early 1990s and mid- to late 2000s.

First the good news: There is little reason to believe a bubble anything like the one that popped in 2007 has formed or is forming now.

Last decade, the region was several years into a real estate upswing when prices accelerated. They increased at double-digit rates for six years, fueled by a wave of risky, even predatory, lending.

Borrowed money could be used for an entire down payment. Lenders didn’t require proof of income. Low “teaser” rates lured homeowners, but socked them later with huge payments. In some cases, the loan principal that homeowners owed even grew, because their payments didn’t cover interest.

Mortgage lending is relatively restrained. Last decade, total mortgage debt consistently grew by double digits. In the second quarter, those debts rose only 3.5% from the same period a year earlier, Federal Reserve data show.

Homeowners aren’t as squeezed. Total U.S. mortgage payments in the second quarter accounted for 4.2% of total disposable personal income, the lowest level in at least 38 years. The rate was in the 6% range for most of the mid-2000s bubble, and it hit 7% just before the crash.

Borrowers are less risky. The median credit score for those taking out a mortgage in the second quarter was 760, compared to a bubble-era low of 707.“I don’t think we need to worry this time around about a bursting of a credit bubble,” said Stuart Gabriel, director of the Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA. “We can cross that factor off the list.”

Another Southern California home-price boom is cooling.Is a crash looming?

Buddy Poppies are returning to Pacific Grove thanks to the effort of the Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS). In honor of Veterans Day, for the past two weekends PGMS students sold Buddy Poppies to honor Veterans and raise funds for both the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. Townspeople and visitors alike were enthusiastic and generous with their donations. Students collected over $2,000 from the two weekend effort. Collectively, with the sale of Buddy Poppies and contributions from students, parents, donors, and the community, Pacific Grove Middle School has raised over $6,500 this year and is continuing to raise funds.

Liam and Alex Yager spent over 16 hours selling Poppies in front of the Post Office on Veterans Day weekend).

Many people were touched that the tradition of Buddy Poppies has returned and for the respect being shown to Veterans. Most Veterans were surprised and pleased to be acknowledged.

On Tuesday, November 13th Pacific Grove Middle School held a thirty-minute celebration for Veterans. The entire school, parents, Veterans, and a number of active service members came to watch the ceremony. Students read the famous “In Flanders Field” poem and one student shared his experience of growing up in Afghanistan, coming under fire from the Taliban and being saved by the U.S. Military. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the brave men and women who saved him, his family, and his country. The next two speakers shared their experiences of being “Army Brats,” how challenging it is, and how proud they are of their parents for serving.

All students wore Blue Stars that symbolize either a loved one or friend who has or is currently serving in the

Armed Forces. The Veterans were asked to fill out Gold Stars, which represent service members they know who lost their lives serving our country. All of the Blue Stars were collected at the end of the day, transformed into large banners and will be hung and displayed all year at the Middle School.

Throughout the rest of the day each class at PGMS incorporated the theme of “Conflict” into lesson plans. For example, in history, teachers had students give five minute presentations on all U.S. Conflicts. In math, teachers had students compare the casualty rate of conflicts to the population at the time and in science, students learned about the devastation of the conflicts both on the populations and the lasting effect on the environment.

We hope this celebration of Veterans and their loved ones continues to grow and are deeply proud of Pacific Grove’s commitment to honoring Veterans.

Matt Guerra grew up in Pacific Grove. He attended PG Schools from Kindergarten with Mr. Williams, to Robert H. Down Elementary School, PG Middle School and eventually PG High School. He was #70 on the PG High Breakers football team under Coach Buck Roggeman. Matt’s PG classmates know him as a caring guy, a hard worker and mostly as a great husband, dad, and friend.

Matt was out of town when the fire took his house. The smoke was thick nearby but began raining ash and started to spark fires near their property. His wife, Harvey, and their two daughters (ages 10 and 8) rushed to grab their dogs and what little they could in the house as they rushed to their vehicle seeing the neighboring houses on fire and their yard quickly becoming engulfed by the flames. The family said goodbyes on the cell phone with Matt as they left not thinking they could escape. They did escape with their lives and are very thankful for the blessing of having their family safe. They did receive word that they lost their home and everything inside. They are still searching nearby locations setup for pet retrieval daily for their pet cats.

Matt is a person who will go out of his way to help others and he has a big heart. As someone who was born and raised a PG local, this is an opportunity for our community and fellow Pacific Grove alumni to help his family.

A cousin of theirs, Stephanie Haedrich, has setup a gofundme account for the family at: www.gofundme.com/help-the-guerras-recover

She is also collecting clothing items for the family.

At Forest Grove my son, Micah, will be sending a letter out in hopes to raise some funds to help this family.

Our hearts go out to the victims of all the California fires and we are full of gratitude to our Firefighters, Police, and all of the First Responders.

The Individualist: “Hello It’s Me”

Aloha from Hawaii! Here I am as a bridesmaid in another wedding. Please do not mistake this as sarcastic or displeased. I love weddings, I love traveling, I love being a part of a celebration, I love family (definitely my own but certainly meeting others’) and most of all I love love.

There was a movie that came out a few years ago called “27 Dresses” about a young lady who is a perpetual bridesmaid. She has a whole closet dedicated to brides-maid’s dresses, etc. I haven’t actually seen the movie…why would I? It’s my life.

I didn’t have too much time to explore so the first day we landed (I was traveling with the maid of honor), I booked us a reservation for lunch at a restaurant that I had heard—from fellow travelers and review sites/blogs—was a great place to

eat on Maui, Mama’s Fish House. Our table wasn’t quite ready when

we arrived so we ordered a couple Mai Tais from the bar and sipped our cocktails and admired the gorgeous orchids floating around the ice. What an amazing thing, to be in a place so abundant with flowers that every cocktail, lei, and countless other decorations are made of fresh flowers. That and the perfect climate make it obvious why they call it paradise.

Once seated, we were brought an adorable little loaf of honey wheat bread and a side dish of butter. Bikini season or not, I love butter on my bread. The perfect accompaniment to a cocktail and a gorgeous view.

I had never seen this before on a menu but Mama’s puts the name of the

fisherman who caught the fish on the menu. Evidently, Mama’s has a team of fishermen who go out fishing every day and everything served is caught within the past twenty-four hours. It’s not a large menu but it certainly is fresh.

We split Papa’s sashimi as an appetiz-er and it was great, thick slices of three dif-ferent fish each topped with some pickled fruit or vegetable or a jam and each with a different salt alongside—smoked, pink, and black. The waitress recommended we dip each slice of fish in its respective salt. It was a pretty cool experience, a crunch of salt that triggers that warm salivary response along with the soft meaty taste of the cool fish.

I ordered the monchong (deep sea pomfret) a white fish served with black

rice topped with onion chutney and vege-tables—bock choy, broccoli, and carrots—with a ginger glaze. It was delicious. Melt in your mouth type of fish and perfectly al dente vegetables. The best way to welcome our vacation and enjoy a meal before the ensuing wedding activities.

You may have heard the word aloha, it is a Hawaiian greeting used for hello and goodbye but one thing I noticed while on the island of Maui was the notion of “liv-ing aloha.” Aloha means more than simply hello or goodbye, it means love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kind-ness, and grace. Living aloha means going through life with compassion, love, mercy, affection, and peace. And what a beautiful thing. I leave you with a proverb I learned while in the Aloha State, Kahuna nui hale kealohalani Makua which means, love all you see, including yourself. So, I urge you to live aloha. We may not have orchids in all our cocktails here and tropical weather but we don’t have it so bad. Let’s embrace a little aloha in Monterey and love all we see, including ourselves.

I always love hearing feedback so feel free to write me at [email protected] or visit my website at www.SallyBaho.com to read more about my adventures and thoughts.

Kayla quits council as caravan comes to California

Resigning effective December 1, Kayla Jones, 25, is retiring from her brief stint as Seaside City Councilmember and 2018 mayoral candidate (she lost to Ian Oglesby whose council seat she won in 2016).

If you recall, this column announced “Kayla cockadoodledos council at Seaside City Hall” on Sept. 7.

It detailed her outburst at the Sept. 4 council meeting at which she railed against alleged sexual harassment from the older all-male city council, and ended with a threat that basically sounded to me like: “If you don’t stop, I’ll make a lot of noise.”

That’s why I called Kayla’s eloquent elocution “cockadoodling” and posed the question: “Did candidate crow like a hen or cackle like a cock?”

For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

In the talented young city councilmember’s case, the karmic reaction that apparently prompted her resignation was a public outcry demanding that Kayla Jones be recalled for overspending public money, allegations against which she spent the last two months exonerating herself.

That’s not the end of the story.Kayla just celebrated her 25th birthday, meaning her

brain is probably now through growing and ready to start its life as a mature young woman.

What’s next for her? I would suggest she seriously consider writing Young

Adult novels and, thus, do for the upcoming generation what the old Nancy Drew mystery tales did for me: inspire girls to become more than just setting hens who lay eggs that never hatch. And add some poetry to her prose.

Why say she should write? Because, besides helping Seaside become a sanctuary city, site of the annual Gay Parade, and home of the Homeless Committee, she authored the Proclamation that turned Seaside from a city that celebrates Columbus Day to one that now celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day.

Thank you, Kayla. May you be remembered—not only for cockadoodling like a lady but for emerging as the future Poet Laureate of Seaside with this odic free verse:

“Do we inherit land from ancestors or borrow it from our children?”

First Caravan arrives in TijuanaNews of Kayla Jones’ resignation came on Nov. 13

along with breaking news that the first caravan of asylum-seeking refugees from Honduras reached Tijuana, thus casting attention back to homelessness exacerbated by wildfire in California that enlivens this column’s title: Homeless in Paradise.

“Holocaust” means “destruction and sacrifice by fire” and California’s Holocaust has upstaged her nickname as The Earthquake State.

Where will the homeless residents go? How will the multitudes of homeless on both sides of our border be handled?

Mister President, what you say next will really count!

Housing first, needed fast!Hearkening back to The Holocaust in Germany, can

we learn from Germany’s concentration camps how not to let mass assimilation of disparate parties descend from shelters into slaughter houses?

As the homeless are identified, will authorities conform to Article 2 of the United Nations’ “Universal Declaration of Human Rights?”

The document, which currently seems ineffective in combating hate crimes, came into existence in 1948 to prevent atrocities like those perpetrated by the Nazis from happening again,
