Ready for a Foggy Eclipse

Students at Forest Grove Elementary School were provided with regulation eclipse-proof glasses with which they prac-ticed gazing at the full solar eclipse which was schedued for Monday, August 21. Glasses were ordered three weeks ago, 50 at a time, through Mrs. Newman — a 3rd grade teacher at Forest Grove, whose husband, Jim, is a NASA astronaut. 500 pairs were purchased with SIP funds and provided to each student, but they watched the once-in-a-lifetime event indoors, on a screen showing a live stream from NASA, as the typical Monterey Bay fog did not lift in time.At right, Principal Buck Roggeman demon-strates how to don and use the glasses. Beow, 4th grade teachers got into the spirit.Photos above and right by Neil Jameson.

Financial Forecast Not Very Cheerful for Pacific Grove

The City of Pacific Grove’s 10-Year Financial Forecast for the General Fund, from fiscal years 2018-19 to 2027-28, was presented recently at the City Coun-cil meeting.

New in the updated forecast, figures show the City roughly broke even for the first year in nine showing no surplus. The forecast, while not an actual budget, tries to give financial planners a look at revenue and expenditure trends over a period of time, ssuming to events inter-vene, such as recession, natural disaster, changes in state law, los of major taxpay-ers, and other unanticipated expenses.

The City had a $10.5 million fund balance. Fiscal planners attempt to un-der-estimate revenues and surpluses and overestimate expenses.

“We are about $1.5 to $2 million shot of what we need to stay even,” said Mayor Bill Kampe.

According to Kampe, the baseline forecast shows that reserves will drop. Part of the reason for this is that the City has some long-term maintenance issues with the Local Coastal Plan now underway, as well as issues in the IT department and website upgrades.

The City is short-handed in the planning department and the police department, though they are slowly gaining ground. Fire protection services, now shared with the City of Monterey, stil show that we are just short of being able to do it better ourselves — hence a change is not in the forecast.

Cost-cutting measures could include more trimming in the recreation depart-ment to avoid a $4 million deficit over the next five years.

Mayor Kampe says that the pension obligation bond will get pushed out and that we may be able to maintain costs in that area. The major driver here is that pension costs could increase some $2.6 per year over the next seven years unless CalPERS investments exceed exectations.

Short-term rentals, now at $1 mil-lion, may change while Transient Oc-cupancy Taxes hover around $5 to $6 million in the R3M zone. Anticipated projects such as Project Bella and the Durrell hotel project may bring addition-al income. Neither is close to breaking ground, and Mayor Kampe sees Durrell as being a bigger challenge than Bella, espectially when it comes to water needs.

On the plus side, the city will take another look at the Master Fee Schedule and closely examine recovery of costs for events. including those previously considered “traditional” and those put on by non-profits.

Witnessing a solar eclipse can be a profound experience – a sublime reminder of our connection with the ethereal. Who could not be moved as witness to an event no-where else possible among the other planets of our solar system? Solar eclipses occur because of a remarkable and unique celestial coincidence – the distance of our moon from Earth divided by its diameter is almost exactly the same as the distance of the Sun from Earth divided by its diameter. So as seen from Earth, both objects are the same size in the sky. When they line up perfectly – voila a solar eclipse as the Moon’s shadow, called the umbra, sweeps across the globe. However, the Moon’s distance from Earth is not constant due to its orbit being an ellipse, somewhat egg-shaped, rather than a perfect circle. When the Moon is farthest from Earth and aligned with the Sun, it doesn’t fully cover the disk of the Sun and what results is an annular eclipse which I had the good fortune to observe and photograph on May 20th 2012 in Japan. From a scientific perspective, a total eclipse is more important as it gives the best opportunity to study the Sun’s corona – its “atmosphere” of blazingly hot gas which gives rise to solar flares that can produce captivating aurora at low latitudes and disrupt electronic activity on Earth. Although California was not in the path of the Moon’s umbra this time, NASA provided a photo of the total eclipse of August 21, 2017. During totality, the bright spots around the disk are caused by sunlight leaking through deep craters and valleys on the moon. They are called “Baily’s beads” in honor of English astronomer Francis Baily who explained them in 1836.

For close to 50 years the Pacific Grove Art Center has been collecting and build-ing a vast and impressive collection of art-work from local artists. Artists who have shaped the artistic landscape of this pen-insula for generations with work through media and subject matter has defined this region and its creative community. For the first time, artwork that was hidden and lost to the Peninsula will be on display and for sale in the Gill Gallery. Lost Artwork Trea-sures go on sale in September at Pacific Grove Art Center, and two NEW exhibits will open. A free Gala Opening reception

will be held Friday, Sept. 1, from 7 – 9 p.m. at 568 Lighthouse Ave. Donations are welcome.

View artist Robynn Smith’s exhibit, “Shift: Recent Artistic Explorations,” in the Dyke Gallery. This comprehensive exhibition highlights recent works in print-making, mixed media painting, drawing, sculpture and video by Aptos-based artist, Robynn Smith. Robynn’s recent works ex-plore imagery in a wide variety of media. This show is a rich visual experience as viewers explore the connections and rela-tionships between these images and tech-

niques. Individual pieces feature diverse images that, presented in juxtaposition, create a poetic narrative. As an exhibition, the narrative expands exponentially, as a complex conversation is built.

Benjamin S. Anderson’s exhibit, titled “Motif’s: Portrait of Musical Mentors, Collaborators, and Inspiration,” is in the Annand Gallery. “Magical Realism is the playground,” Anderson says, “in which I explore the balance between the magical innocence of childhood and the complex emotional experiences of adulthood. By building up rich textures using a special

oil and wax painting technique, I reveal these concepts using subjects of nature, the feminine, and renewal while interweaving them with symbolic images of dreams, mythology, and human emotion.”

Established in 1969, the FREE Pacific Grove Art Center is a unique, commu-nity-based nonprofit art venue. Regular hours are from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. There is no charge, but donations are suggested and welcomed. The new exhibits continue until Oct. 26.

Wednesday, September 6, 2017 Gentrain Society Lecture: Spreckels: The Sweet Life

Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Free; MPC Parking $2.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; [email protected] ; 372-0895

On August 1, 1896, about 2000 Salinas Valley farmers gathered at the Agri-cultural Hall in Salinas to hear Claus Spreckels, the “Sugar King” of Hawaii, pitch his bold new idea – to build the biggest sugar factory in the world right on their doorstep. Little did they know how significant that meeting would be. The massive new factory and outlying sugar beet ranches had a tremendous impact on the valley. Immigration, transportation, economics, settlement, and farming practices were transformed. And those impacts can still be felt today. Join Meg Clovis as she relates the bigger-than-life story of Claus Spreckels, his factory, the town that bears his name and his lasting influence on Monterey County and California. Meg Clovis served as Cultural Affairs Manager for the Monterey County Parks Department for 36 years. She has written two books on Monterey County history, The Salinas Valley and Monterey County’s North Coast.

Gentrain Society Lecture: Snooping on North Korea from Monterey Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103

1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $2.00

Enjoy Political Satire at Monterey Peace & Justice

Political satirist Roy Zimmerman returns to the Monterey area to perform a concert titled, "ReZist!" at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, August 29, at the Monterey Peace and Justice Center, 1364 Fremont Blvd. in Seaside. (Doors open 6:30pm).

What can one person do about racism, gun violence, climate change, income in-equality, bigotry, ignorance, war and greed? “Write funny songs,” says Zimmerman.

For more than 20 years on stages, screens and airwaves across America, Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for peace and justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime, and he’s shared stages with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, The Roches, and more.

Proceeds will benefit MPJC and will help Roy and his wife and co-writer, Melanie Harby, take their 2017 Fall ReZist Tour on the road - to places where his disarmingly funny topical songs are needed the most, which is just about everywhere these days.

Tickets are $20 or whatever you can pay. Advance tickets are available at Eventbrite. https://roy-zimmerman-rezist-8-29-17.eventbrite.com

Other Random Thoughts

Save the Horses, Please!

I am finding the recent turmoil in Charlottesville fascinating on one level. There is a generation skipped in my lineage. My grandmother was 40 when my mother was born, Mother was 40 when she gave birth to me. My great grandfather (Peter Morse) left New England and went to Athens, Ohio where Grandfather was born. Mother’s family came to New England in 1635. There is a fascinating story of how Peter, a tutor on a steamship, saved the lives of the passengers when the captain was incapacitated by drink and was put in irons. President Finney told the young teacher that his first son would receive a full scholarship to Oberlin. This famous school in Ohio was one of the first in the country to accept stu-dents of all races and was an abolitionist institution. My grandfather (George Washington) was indoctrinated at the prep school and joined the Union Army in 1861 (at the age of 16) He fought in all of his regiment’s battles including Sherman’s march through Georgia, but for four months was incarcerated in Libby Prison, a Confeder-ate prison in Virginia. It gained infamous reputation for the overcrowded and harsh conditions under which offi-cer prisoners from the Union Army were kept. Prisoners suffered from disease, malnutrition and a high mortality rate. By 1863, 1,000 prisoners were crowded into large open rooms on two floors, with open, barred windows leaving them exposed to weather and temperature ex-tremes. After his release George reenlisted and became the youngest company commander in his regiment.

Why am I covering this history? Grandfather fought for the cause, abolishing slavery. The Southerners were fighting for a life to which they were accustomed. Some had not been born at the inception of slavery and knew nothing else. I can understand to a certain degree the use of Africans as servants, many of the “owners” were the gentry from Europe who had enjoyed being served. The cruelty, savagery of other human beings is so foreign to me that I cannot wrap my mind around it. I also do not think one human should own another, but, at least some of these slave holders were kind. Interesting in that, while the Irish were not slaves per se, they were indentured servants in many families up north, including mine. I hate to feel that war is the solution to anything, but it has been ever thus throughout history. “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6.

So, there are now riots in Charlottesville. There has been so much discourse on this that it is tempting to turn off the news and throw the newspapers aside. The riots, began with a white nationalist rally, which was soon engulfed in violence. The riots involved white national-ists and counter-protestors. The white nationalists were protesting the city’s decision to remove monuments and statues of Robert E. Lee across the south. It soon devolved into racial taunting and brawling. A car also slammed into a group of counter-protestors during the violence. The governor has reportedly declared a state of emergency and for the National Guard and police to clear the area.

I can’t agree with the destruction of the monuments. These statues were created by artists. They should be treated with respect, not for the subject matter but the creativity. A letter to the editor recently suggested the men be destroyed the horses saved (yes, always save the

horses). When we were in Germany there were sites such as Dachau and Auschwitz that were opened to the public. These places did not whitewash the Holocaust but told the story. I believe the Civil War statues should be put in spots where the history is delineated. Movies, books, plays, art works trace history, good and bad. I find it difficult as I grew up at a time when Robert E. Lee was a Confederate hero. I knew two of his grand-sons. History should not be abolished, in eradicating the monuments is opening a door to a repetition of violence. The Taliban destroyed monuments in Afghan-istan, and it has happened all over the world, valuable markers of time destroyed. Slavery was godawful…but we seem to continue to fight the war. Why are there Caucasians who feel they are superior because of the color of their skin or shape of their eyes and nose? I remember once saying to an elderly friend “All people were created equal,” “They were not!!!” she snapped back. I must agree with President Trump (please don’t egg my house). What is next: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Clark and many more, Mt. Rushmore? Washington ultimately set free his slaves, Jefferson was an unapologetic bigot. He did not believe all men were created equal. However, he had a supreme mind, helped free our nation and apparently treated his people well.

I was fortunate in that I grew up in a time where The United States was fiercely united in its hatred of Hitler, Mussolini and (I am sorry to say) the Japa-nese in general. We worked together, collected scrap metal, saved coupons, learned about margarine and grieved our fallen soldiers. Even the Korean war did not really touch us as a nation; although, many lost sons, lovers and friends. The Vietnam War brought out the worst in some of us and our returning heroes were treated like dirt. It seems that there has been the need for public demonstrations over something ever since. Some (many) dislike Donald Trump. Rioting will not displace him. Find solutions, find new people. As a Republican, I look forward to a candidate we can revere. In the meantime, please don’t paint us all with the same brush. I don’t understand the need to riot. It seems to me people could fight the same battles in a more constructive manner such as feeding and helping those who have nothing. I certainly don’t underhand the destruction generally of the neighbors.

Are we not blessed to live in a country where it is legal to congregate and protest? Destruction should not be part of the equation, All right, that is my rant for the next few months, back to animals and people…

Reasoning With God

Otter ViewsTom Stevens

A Love Affair with HateWhat Does God say about Terrorism?

For most of the years I knew her, my stepmother Jean was a cheerful, open-hearted person. A radiology nurse and emergency room volunteer in Honolulu, she got along well with the diverse patients and doctors who came through that multi-racial city’s hospital doors.

Having been born and raised in Hawaii, Jean knew its many cultures and joined in the ethnic kidding that eases intergroup friction on small islands. In doing so, she did not spare her own group. In her view, everyone was fair game for island jokes offered in goodwill. Mean-spiritedness or racial hatred crossed the line.

That all began to change when, at age 77, she left the islands and moved to a gated community in the southern California desert. At about that time, a young Hawaii-born politician with the unlikely name Barack Obama delivered a keynote speech at a po-litical convention.

Obama and my stepmother were both graduates of the Honolulu private school Punahou. I thought she might be tickled that a fellow alumnus had given their alma mater some national exposure.

“How about your Punahou guy, Obama?” I kidded her on a visit to California. “He’s done Hawaii proud. Some say he’s presidential caliber.”

My stepmother shot me a surprisingly dark look, even for a lifelong Republican. “He’s not my Punahou guy,” she scowled. “And I’m not sure he’s from Hawaii. Rush says he might not even be American.”

Puzzled, I let that drop. Later that night, awaiting sleep in the guest room, I heard Rush Limbaugh’s urgent vituperations coming from the bedside radio in Jean’s room. I would hear the far-right commentator on subsequent visits as well. I came to regard his show and its ilk as “hate radio.” Jean called it “the truth.”

As Obama moved from remote outlier to serious contender, Jean’s certitude and racial animosity grew, and we argued.

“Party affiliations aside, aren’t you a little proud your school has produced a pres-idential candidate?” I asked. “And what are the chances of tiny Hawaii doing that? One in a million?”

“Zero in a million,” she replied. “Your guy Obama was born in Kenya. As an African, he can’t even be president. There’s no Hawaii birth certificate on record for him. Also, he’s probably a Muslim. When the mother lived in Indonesia, she put him into a Muslim school.”

“Where are you getting all this?” I asked, exasperated.“Rush on the radio; Sarah and Sean on Fox. It’s all true.”That was an “aha moment” for me. Once my stepmother locked onto those hard

right information sources, her outlook grew ever darker, and she voiced ever-wilder conspiracy theories. The cheerful, accepting person I had known in Hawaii became angry and prejudiced. Near the end of her life, white nationalist sentiments crept into her discourse. At length we just talked about golf.

Jean didn’t live long enough to vote for Donald Trump, but she would have enjoyed seeing his Muslim African predecessor’s achievements dismantled. Fair enough; that’s politics. As Obama himself said (to his regret), “elections have consequences.”

The hate is something else. If Jean were alive, I wonder what she’d make of the recent racial and ethnic violence in Charlottesville. Would she parrot the hard right’s line that “all sides” were equally culpable? Or, as one who experienced World War Two, would the Nazi salutes, assault weapons and Jew-baiting have crossed a line for her?

I hope she would have stopped short of endorsing white nationalism and Ku Klux Klan-style torchlight parades. But if she had become internet-savvy late in life, maybe not. It’s only a stone skip from Rush and Sean and Sarah to Breitbart and The Daily Stormer.

Where “hate radio” once occupied a fairly narrow bandwidth, racist invective and dark conspiracy theories today spew 24-7 from multiple platforms. As America increasingly ingests and shares this poison, the nation grows ever more addicted to its new opiate of choice. What was once unthinkable has become a love affair with hate.

Historians still marvel that the seemingly staid and sensible German nation could so ardently have embraced the Aryan supremacy ravings of Adolf Hitler. But as the Nazis demonstrated to the free world’s lasting horror, a charismatic leader, martial salutes, torchlight parades, racist conspiracy theories and hate-fueled propaganda can seduce even the stoutest hearts when “decent people” look away.

Now Hitler’s murderous ideas goose-step across another seemingly staid nation. Sensibilities fire-hardened in the forges of hate media, a thousand white nationalists met in Charlottesville recently to light torches, raise Nazi salutes and vow death to blacks and Jews. More such gatherings are promised nationwide.

Like the Nazis of early 1930s Germany, America’s white nationalist movement is still gestating. But hate is a seductive drug. “Decent people” look away at their peril.

Before we can fully understand what God has said about terrorism, we must first understand what it is. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines terrorism as: “The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.”

So, terrorism includes ISIS’s worldwide campaign of random acts of violence to create fear in the world, as demonstrated this past week in Spain. On a national level it is defined by the testimony of a Google employee fired for his criticism of what he perceived as work place terrorism. He personally felt the culture of shame and coer-cion, which is being used to silence dissenting opinions within the company. Everyday, people in our country experience the household terrorism of a husband using verbal or physical abuse to coerce his family into submission.

In the not so distant past we witnessed the KKK burning crosses on certain peo-ple’s lawns. Some in the black community used anger during the Watts riots to justify violence as a response to bigotry; both the cause and the response are examples of domestic terrorism. More recently, we see the systematic inciting of violence during peaceful protests. These are also acts of terrorism. Has God ever endorsed the use of terrorism to solve the issues involved in these acts?

What does God say about treating people based on the group they are in? Job 34:19, “How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.” Is God saying He created everyone? Deut 10:17, “For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:” Is God saying He does not favor one group over another? Is He saying we should all be treated equally? Does God want us to see all acts of terrorism as wrong, no matter who commits them?

On a global basis, terrorism is used to spread a particular groups ideology, Prov 6:16-19, “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Does God say he hates the shedding of innocent blood?

Rom 12:19-21, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Is God not calling for us to return good for the evil we face? Modern day examples of the success of a non-violent approach are Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and so many more.

Ps 34:14, “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.“ Doesn’t God call us to seek peace?

Lk 12:4, “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.” The heart of terrorism is fear. Is God telling us not to fear? Will this not remove the main purpose of terrorism?

Ps 11:5, “The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” Is God saying He hates those who love violence?

Lk 12:51, “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:“ Is God not telling us we can know who is with Him and who is against Him by their acts of violence? Does God ever ask us to use violence or terrorism? Can we ever use terrorism in the name of God? Or, does God call us to walk on a different path? Matt 5:43-48, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

The City of Pacific Grove is in the final stages of implementing the License Plate Recognition (LPR) System, with installation beginning on Monday, August 28, 2017.

The LPR system will alert parking enforcement officers of overtime parking vio-lations, unpermitted vehicles, vehicles with expired registration, and vehicles with 5 or more unpaid parking citations. This will allow staff to become much more efficient in completing their routes and prevent injury caused by manual chalking.

The LPR is being installed on our all electric GO-4 Parking Scooter. Next week during installation and testing, you may see the parking enforcement scooter being tested throughout the City. It will have exterior cameras, which will make it look different.

In addition, once fully implemented, the parking enforcement officers will rely mainly on the LPR and no longer mark tires with chalk. This includes the Downtown Area, Central Avenue, and the other timed areas. It will also assist in enforcing 48 hour and 72 hour parking violations, as well as the City’s parking permit programs.

The LPR system is set to go live on Sunday September 10, 2017. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact ASM Jocelyn Francis at (831) 648-3143. Thank you.

She immediately went inside the Air BnB next to my home—I never saw her. He parked the silver one first; she left her white one, engine running, in the street, then he parked it in front of his. Rumble, rumble, varoom, varoom.

He was so particular about covering each one—first he brought out the spray bottle and cleaned the windshield and wiped off some spots here and there. Then the soft elastic black cover, custom fit over the rearview mirrors. He took at least 20 minutes to clean the cars and cover them for the night.

This morning he’s out there picking bits of leaves and lint from the black cover before pulling it off and stuffing it under the front hood. A couple came by, obviously Car Week people too by their dress, and he gives them the 50-cent tour—even the music “The Horse with No Name” was celestial. That’s when I heard the price, $500,000 out the door, $350,000 from some other place.

I went out, said Hi. He was nice. I took a couple of photos and pointed to my Subaru. “That’s my car.”

“Your baby,” he said, “pearly white.” “That’s why I bought it.” Big smiles all around.I inquired about the TMGBULL personal license

plate on her car. He told me Lamborghini names all their models after bulls and bullfighters—I resisted screaming in horror—briefly smiled and went back inside. Off they went to have their day at the Italian on the Black Horse Golf Course.

ºThe varoom when they left rang melodious through-out the neighborhood—I love the sight and sound of these cars, if not the naming.

I later learned that the owners’ names are Michael and Toni, she won first prize in her class at the Italian, and that they enjoyed their stay at the P.G. Air BnB so much they’re thinking about returning for Car Week next year, possibly with their 9-year-old son.

I hope they do come back—so I can beg them for a ride!

By Joyce KriegI’m guessing I echo the feelings of a lot of Pagrovians

when I say I have a love-hate relationship with Car Week.

On the one hand, love those beautiful cars! They re-ally are rolling works of art. As I stroll down Lighthouse Avenue during the P.G. Auto Rally or The Little Car Show and admire those shiny beauties, I feel as if I’m in an open-air museum, a moveable sculpture garden. Those “cherries” from the 1950s and muscle cars from the ’60s bring back a flood of childhood memories. I look around for the owner, expecting to see one of those cute Auto Shop boys from high school in their jeans and grease-stained white t-shirts. Instead, inevitably, he turns out to be a geezer (in other words, someone around my age) and I have a poignant reminder about the passage of time.

But—yikes!—the traffic. The gridlock, the barricad-ed streets, the sheer frustration of being held prisoner in my own home. On late Friday afternoon of Car Week, I tried to make the drive from my home on 13th Street to a Jazzercise class in downtown Monterey. It took 30 to 40 minutes both coming and going, for a trip that usually takes 15 minutes, 20 max.

We all hear about the huge amount of dollars that flow into our local economy due to Car Week. But let’s face it—unless we actually own a restaurant or hotel, we residents aren’t seeing any direct, in-our-pockets benefit. So, how about a little something to compensate us for putting up with the inconvenience of Car Week? A thank-you after-party? Free admission for local residents to one of those swank, high-end events, kind of like how the Aquarium does with their free week for locals in De-cember? Shoot, I’d be happy with just a ride in a fancy, high-performance sports car—especially if it’s being driven by one of those cute Auto Shop boys.

Awards Grants

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has honored the Mon-terey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) and its Chief Financial Officer, Suresh Prasad, with its annual Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting. The award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. The award was announced at the August MPWMD Board of Directors meeting.

“We are proud to have been selected for this award for the second year in a row,” commented David Stoldt, MPWMD General Manager. “Our District’s financial department, under Suresh Prasad’s leadership, has done a wonderful job ensuring our management of the public’s funds and this recognition is an affirmation of that hard work.”

Criteria for earning the Certificate of Achievement is based in part on the District’s award-winning Compre-hensive Annual Financial Report. The report, which must clearly demonstrate a constructive spirit of full-disclosure, needs to communicate a financial story and motivate people to read the financial report.

“Our department has worked tirelessly to bring the Water Management District’s financial picture into focus while remembering that we should always have the pub-lic’s best interests in mind,” stated Prasad. “This award is as much my department’s, as it is mine.”

No-Bake Fudge Cookies

My mom has made these “cookies” ever since I was a kid. I remember how much my brother and I would delight in them and since they were “no bake,” we couldn’t get scolded too much for eating them before they were done. Let me clarify, we were still scolded.

This past year, I threw myself a birthday party. Naturally, I had spar-kling wines and a chocolate fountain. Oh, and cake. Because you have to have cake even if you don’t like cake. My mother always told me, “you have to have cake for your guests.” So of course I bought too much sparkling wine, not that there is such thing. And too much chocolate. And I made enough cake to feed a village.

I prepared the chocolate fountain and delighted in watching my guests dip strawberries, pretzels, their fingers, the cake, etc. in the fountain and we celebrated life and love and friendship. That’s really the point of throwing a party in my opinion. I don’t want to be the center of attention I just enjoy bringing everybody that I love together. I want to see happiness and leave drama at the door. At the end of the party there was chocolate left over, I had used over 5 pounds of chocolate for the fountain. So my mom and I scooped molten chocolate into repurposed jam jars for future use. Since then, my mom has been finding creative uses for this chocolate mixture. One such use is these delicious cookies. Note, she made them with the leftover chocolate mix from the party but I have included the original recipe.In other words, you don’t need to throw a party with a chocolate fountain in order to make these cookies.

No bake fudge cookies with a Bel-ladonna lily (otherwise known as a naked lady) from the garden

The Carmel Foundation Presents“Strange Bedfellows: Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry Valentine Miller”

Please join veteran journalist and MPC professor emeritus Elayne Wareing Fitzpatrick who will discuss some little-known affinities between these literary greats who sojourned - in different eras - on our Big Sur-Monterey coast. RLS is remembered most for adventure tales like ”Treasure Island” - devoured by children during years of genderless reading - and for the psychological horror story “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Miller, on the other hand, titillated readers with banned books like “Tropic of Cancer” and “Quiet Days in Clichy.” But both writers questioned and quested, and grew to share a common philosophy under the soft and violent influence of our coast.Details:· Wednesday, September 6, 2017, 2:30pm-4:00 p.m.· The Carmel Foundation’s Diment Hall - SE Corner 8th & Lincoln, Carmel· This presentation is free and open to the public· Space is limited to 100· For more information, please contact Leticia Bejarano, Director of Support Services

Webster’s Free-Range Car Week Photo ReviewCar Week Medley

When car people meet and converse, many norms of social predisposition are made non-ex-istent. Understanding the carburetors on a vintage Alfa is far more important than the eth-nicity or background of its owner or the admir-ing fan. Tribal differences disappear. We unite quickly. What unites us is respect for the design and function and how we interact with the car. These emotions create a bond between strangers and all the time we are becoming friends.

When we meet, even for the first time at these events, we are united. This common spirit is so strong, at times we quickly feel like we have known our new friend, the vintage Alfa owner, forever.

Car shows and racing events quickly become a reunion indeed. Over and above the importance of preserving our past by carrying it into our future, this spirit is wholly magical. It is easily found at just about every car or

motorcycle event coming to a town near you. Go out there and celebrate your favorites and enjoy your new friends. In my limited time here on the Peninsula I have made more friends in the last few months than I have ever met before. Thank you. Please enjoy this celebration in your honor.

On another personal note, all of the photos that follow were taken by Cedar Street Times’ newest staff photographer, Everett Lane Slate. Everett is the grandson of Lane and Susan Slate. Everett is 19 years old and about to enter the 800 Division of the United States Navy. As this piece goes to press, Everett certainly goes forward in

a perilously uncertain time. The U.S. Navy has issued a worldwide halt of operations, a first I believe.

I have always been a civilian here in America. My father Lane served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Over the years I have seen firsthand the exact same kind of spirit or bond that I talked about in this very piece. So as a concerned father I have a little solace knowing that this spirit live in the hearts of all the people who serve in our armed forces. And I celebrate this too.

We have faith in the Navy that they will put it all to rights. Hopefully, Everett Slate will help.

Steve McQueen’s favorite color scheme -- blue and orange -- and Everett’s, too.

Your Letters

Opinion

Editor,

I just read the Opinions Page of the Cedar Street Times (Aug 18-25) with regard to the Short Term Rental (STR) issues. After reading about just how wonderful STRs are for our town, I felt just I had to write.

My street has a large number of...what I like to call....Short Term Hotels....It’s so awesome! As I write this, my family and my neighbors have a 9-bed short term hotel around us where 12 people can be there visiting at any time. Let me tell you, It is fantastic! The Short Term Hotel has five parking spots, but these “guests” don’t dare want to bother the owner of the short term hotel with parking there, so instead they park all up and down our street for my neighbors and family to enjoy! It’s so great!

The kind of people these short term hotels are bringing in is outstanding! The other night, my family saw some of the most beautiful stripper escorts that I have ever seen pile into the house. I mean, talk about different cultures interacting! And let me again tell you, you are missing out, hearing the joy of people partying and screaming at all hours of the night and morning My favorite time is 3:45 am!

Not to mention the different languages my kids are learning from these “guests”....”Daddy, what’s a faggot?” It’s so great!

So far, my favorite interaction I have had with a “guest” to our town was this guy in a crisp pink suit spit a snot loogie over my fence and into my yard before he got whisked away in a chartered van to go look at expensive cars. Does it get any better than this?

As someone stated in the Opinions section...these STR is exactly what “we” need. “We” don’t people who actually want to live here and be part of the commu-nity or help it grow. No, “we” don’t need that.

I don’t care what kind of spin you want to call it - Tradition, Success Stories, Benefits, keeping people employed, fixing blight....IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY! Plain and simple.

All these people who are for this program have a vested interest. They are making money like a business in residential neighborhoods. How is this even possible? Someone wrote, “We love PG.” No, you love making money in PG, so of course you love it.

People are making money off the suffering and expense of the residents who actually live here, who have children that go to the schools, residents who actually want to be part of this community.

Just because someone owns multiple houses here and make money off them being STRs does not make you a resident! Because a large amount of the these owners, don’t even reside here. You’re not an actual neighbor. Your “guests” are more of a neighbor than you are.

Someone also stated, “the lottery is unfair.” Oh, Boo Hoo. Your bottom line is in risk of being cut. I’ll tell you want is unfair. Subjecting my family to the not-so velvety pipes of “guests” rapping in the street at 2:00 a.m. of long dead hip-hop artists.

Don’t give in to these measured tactics being presented by these Pro STR owners... The real residents of PG need to get out of their complacency, and get involved and get involved quickly. Because the landscape and vibe of this town is changing right before our eyes....Pacific Grove is turning into Pacific Vegas.

I never thought in a million years I would be experiencing and writing some-thing like this, but here I am doing it. It is very concerning what is happening......

Thank you,

Shawn BoylePacific Vegas

Revenue-Neutral Carbon Tax Could Help Fight Sea Level RiseEditor:

What might “sea level rise” mean for future residents of the Monterey Peninsu-la? Some climate scientists now predict that by the end of this century the oceans might be a few feet higher than they are now. To this add a high tide and a storm surge. The result could be serious coastal flooding.

Consider what’s at risk – everything only a few feet above sea level. This includes public spaces, such as roads and beaches. It includes businesses, private homes, and agricultural land. It also includes Elkhorn Slough, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Point Lobos.

Most climate scientists agree that one of the causes of sea level rise is carbon dioxide.

This is a greenhouse gas, one of the causes of global warming. One source of carbon dioxide is the burning of coal, natural gas and oil. Suppose we continue to burn these fossil fuels at the current rate. The resulting sea level rise could result in enormous infrastructure expenses. If so, these bills will be paid by those who follow us.

What risk assessment strategy could slow and eventually stop sea level rise? We can control our carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. We should reduce our carbon footprint and switch to using renewable energy as soon as possible.

How can we incent others to switch to renewables? One approach is to support implementation of a revenue-neutral carbon tax. Future residents of the Monterey Peninsula will be grateful.

Blood donations urgently needed in the final weeks of summer

The American Red Cross urges blood donors to give in the final weeks of summer to help overcome a chronic summer blood shortage.

In August, regular donors may delay giving as final summer vacations are planned and back-to-school activities ramp up. To fully meet the needs of hospital patients in the coming days and weeks, donations are urgently needed from new and current donors. Those who donated blood earlier this summer may be eligible to donate again. Blood can be safely donated every 56 days, and Power Red cells can be donated every 112 days.

As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross now through Aug. 31 will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard™.*

Appointments can be scheduled by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To help reduce wait times, donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood.org/RapidPass.

Santa Cruz Garden Tour - September 9

Waterwise and Wildlife Friendly UC Master Gardeners know a great garden when they see one! So each year, they

raise funds for their free educational programs by presenting a tour of outstanding gardens somewhere in the Monterey Bay area. This year the UC Master Gardener tour will be held in Santa Cruz, on Saturday, September 9, 2017, and will highlight eight unique gardens that are “waterwise and wildlife friendly.”

All within an easy day’s drive in the City of Santa Cruz, these gardens will demonstrate how any gardener can reduce water use and still create spectacular, usable spaces for their families. You will see Mediterranean and native plants, water saving gardening techniques, and habitats that provide safe havens for the pollinators we need and the small mammals that share our suburban spaces.

Besides the gardens, you won’t want to miss the Garden Tour Headquarters at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History to enjoy:

· a plant sale, with more than 500 plants propagated by UC Master Gar-deners, and

· free presentations on gardening “waterwise and wildlife friendly” including: “Creating Wildlife Friendly Garden” by Tai MosesLocal author, Tai Moses, is at the vanguard of the movement to protect native

wildlife in our communities and has lots of recommendations for making your garden a safe habitat for our wild neighbors.

“Bringing Nature Back to Tyrrell Park” by Nancy LenzLearn how a handful of neighbors teamed up with the Santa Cruz Museum of

Natural History and city’s Parks and Recreation Department to transform a creekside jungle of invasives into a pollinator and California native plant haven.

Tickets are $25 in advance ($30, day of the tour) and are available on the UC Master Gardeners website - www.mgmb.ucanr.edu - or at participating nurseries listed on the website.

Market MattersSource: San Francisco ChronicleThe most arresting data point in a new report from the California Association of

Realtors reveals that the income needed to buy a median-priced single-family home in the Bay Area has nearly doubled in five years.

Back in 2012, a minimum annual income of $90,370 was needed to purchase a Bay Area home at the median price of $447,970. Now, a home buyer needs to be bringing in $179,390 to afford a mean-priced house at $895,000, the report looking at second-quarter 2017 home sales data concludes.

This reality of skyrocketing real estate prices might seem rather unfair to those of us who haven’t seen our salaries shoot through the roof. If you’re trying to save for a home, it can be difficult to keep up with the rising prices unless you’re receiving significant raises at work.

According to the report, only 12 percent of buyers in the city can actually afford a median-priced single-family home.

The outlook is also rather grim in San Mateo (14 percent), Marin (17 percent), Santa Clara (17 percent) and Alameda (19 percent) counties, all among the least affordable spots in the Bay Area.

Solano County was the most affordable with 44 percent of buyers being able to purchase a median-priced home of $412,000 with a salary of $82,580. Here 44 percent of buyers can afford a home.

Sonoma and Napa ranked the second most affordable with 25 percent of home buyers able to buy a home.

Historic Property Preservation:Secretary of the Interior’s Standards

Rolling Out The BlueYou have a way of gently touching, setting all space vibratingwhile simply passing, drifting through

Never do I notice how much there is of void around me until you choose to fill it, brushing up against and touchingall that’s waiting, expectant and alive

Late afternoon is mostly when you come, as if sere seeking round green hills, warm long river valley waiting to be cooled---sea’s breath rolled up upon the land

I AM proclaiming, all familiar now un-naming: the fog, the fog T h e

F o g

I’ve watched you flow forever, it seems, first as a Carmel boy, then later as a man watching a woman in motion, but seeing her still through the eyes of a child

And what have I ever known for all my looking? Nothing to speak of truly---for when she is present, she surrounds me

Perhaps I only dabble ever dabble in the new

Yet sometimes when I early wake she is there as well, proof of dream beside me----the surprise glow through sheer white linen dissolving, sunrise better than one that turned out not to be

Then it is I stutter and I stammer---“Oh, by dark of night you must have come, like fog— fog making no sound, I hadn’t realized, no, nor reckoned it all because my eyes were closed” “Hush, hush,” you then reply. “Hush this habit strange of yours of speaking stories to the wind”

Turning, then I look away, and in a moment you are gone. The day dawns bright and clear but I am here alone

Perhaps if I were the needles of a pine, I might have come to know you better—sea’s breath evenly distributed, flowing round, enfolding each and every green and forested Carmel hill

Then I might have lightly drunk my fill and even stashed insurance against the draft, the loss---become a sponge to daub the wake of disappearance, to sop those heavy moods dispensed of drizzle days

That is why the small I will always seek to capture beauty, compelled by rush of words to try, reaching out to hold but failing Falling short because of fog’s forever nature---touching, setting space alive and vibrating while rolling out the blue

The gentlest kiss delivered without the need of asking, a kiss slipped off the cheek in passing while only blowing,drifting through

© Peter Hensel, “West of Wild Words”, May 2011

When considering historic prop-erties in Pacific Grove, one does not naturally think of the Secretary of the Interior of the United States of America. In fact, I have never had a buyer or a seller bring that up during a conversation about dealing with a historic property in the City of Pacific Grove. However, according to the Pacific Grove Planning department, “any proposed changes to historic resources must comply with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for The Treatment of Historic Properties.”

One can find the Standards through a link at the Pacific Grove City website under the Historic Resources portion of the Planning Department page. The actual Department of the Interior’s Stan-dards are on the National Park Service’s web page, www.nps.gov/tps/standards.htm. The Standards are described as a “series of concepts about maintaining, repairing, and replacing historic materi-als, as well as designing new additions or making alterations.” Within the Stan-dards are sets of Guidelines which offer general design and technical recommen-dations when applying the Standards to a specific property. “Together they provide a framework and guidance for decision making about work or changes to a historic property,” according to the website.

The Standards are broken down into four distinct components, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and recon-struction. Preservation – “focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property’s form as it has evolved over time.” Rehabilitation – “acknowledges the need to add or alter the historic prop-

erty to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property’s historic character.” Restoration – “depicts a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods.” Reconstruction – “recre-ates vanished or non-surviving portions of a property for interpretive purposes.”

Each of the above listed Standards has its own unique set of Guidelines. Which Standard to apply depends on the physical condition of the property, the historical significance of the property, the proposed use of the property, and intended interpretation. Obviously a building like The Alamo would be treat-ed differently than a bungalow in Pa-cific Grove that was built in 1926. The breadth of the Standards and Guidelines means that they can apply across a wide range of properties with major differenc-es in historical significance

Interestingly the Guidelines are advisory, not regulatory on their own. It is up to the local governments how to apply the Guidelines. The Standards are regulatory when and if tax incentives or grant-in-aid programs assisted through the National Historic Preservation Fund are involved. On the National Park Service’s web page referenced above, there is a 252 page PDF document that one can download that goes into all the details of the abovementioned Standards and Guidelines. It gets into the nitty gritty of windows, doors, entrances, masonry, wood, metals, etc…. I do hope this was helpful in pulling back the veil on historic properties. As always, please reach out with any questions.

Elks Collecting School SuppliesThe Monterey Elks Lodge is collecting additional school supplies for needy stu-

dents. The more than 800 members of the local lodge have placed a “school supply box” in the Lodge lobby at 150 Mar Vista Dr.

“2018 celebrates the 150th founding of the national Elks Lodges,” said Richard Ringler, Exalted Ruler of the Monterey Lodge. “The legacy of those first founders continues to this day. In addition to aiding members in distress, the Elks continue to provide support for those in need, especially for children and veterans.

“Many area students will be starting back to school this year without the needed supplies – simple things like pencils and crayons,” Ringler said, “and we are proud to be able to supply some of those.” Supplies will be collected until Sept. 15.

Homeless in Paradise

Dining without Dollars—Part XICan sheriff’s knock-and-talk restore homey flavor to finger-food camping?

Planning home-cooked meals was a crucial practice that prevented World War Two families from going hungry, broke or homeless.

If Mother hadn’t stuck to a thrifty menu list, I’d not have learned survival tips I still use, such as shopping sales and with coupons.

Distribution centers like today’s free Food Bank for Monterey County didn’t exist in Los Angeles County where Mother sent me on foot to neighborhood mer-chants for fresh food items. Deciphering a grocery list was like learning shorthand.

Mother’s “1/2 #tom” meant “half a pound of tomatoes” from the grocer and “1 lb gr” meant “one pound of ground round” from the butcher shop.

That was then. This is now.Knocking and Talking on Lapis Road

Wheelers (migrating campers) who’ve been moving between Lapis Road outside Marina and Seaside since 2015 are now the focus of a project about which I learned from Supervisor Jane Parker (District 4) on Aug. 18, which includes a program they’re calling “Knock and Talk.”

“Monterey County staff began con-ducting a ‘knock and talk’ operation along Lapis Road last week. The Sheriff Deputies informed individuals of code violations and issued notice to remedy those violations…” she said.

“Social Workers followed behind the Sheriff’s staff and counseled individuals about options for public assistance and other housing-specific services that they might be eligible for.”

Supervisor Parker says, “Everyone needs a safe place to sleep. I am committed to identifying safe options for vulnerable individuals who are sleeping in their vehi-cles throughout Monterey County.”

What the wheelers eat is not on Jane’s menu; it’s on mine.

Jane said, “I have been carefully monitoring the increase in vehicles that are parked along Lapis Road… Individ-uals who are parking on Lapis Road do not have traditional housing or other safe places to sleep.”

Calling all cities!!Supervisor Parker says, “The County

of Monterey is working hard to identify lo-cations and funding for homeless shelters, safe parking programs, and a full spectrum

(EFAP)Wheelers who migrate aren’t always

on the local Lapis Road to Seaside route. Help is available, however, across the county through the Food Bank’s EFAP program, which provides basic nutritious staple foods at 26 sites and serves in excess of 8,000 families, or more than 20 percent of the Monterey County population, half of whom are children.

According to Melissa Kendrick, exec-utive director, “They distribute more than eight million pounds of food annually and are also the sole resource for members of their Agency Clearinghouse Program, a network of more than 140 local non-profits who rely on them for food to stock their emergency pantries and serve hot meals.

of solutions—and we need local cities to partner with us.”

The County of Monterey issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Safe Parking Program last week.

Attention Qualified Contractors for Countywide 10-year plan!

Supervisor Parker says two agencies earlier expressed interest in such a pro-gram and “we are hopeful that they will respond to the current Request for Qual-ifications (RFQ)… online at http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/Home/Components/RFP/RFP/1078/4032 .

“The contractor shall manage and operate a Safe Parking Program through-out Monterey County, with one of those

locations on the Monterey Peninsula.”Supervisors Jane Parker and Mary

Adams met in July with Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio, recently appointed to rep-resent Peninsula Mayors on the Lead Me Home Leadership Council.

He is compiling a summary of home-less support services provided by each of the cities on the Monterey Peninsula “as a starting point for discussion about ad-ditional service gaps.” Parker invites city managers and other interested parties to contact her: [email protected] .Veterans Transition Center communi-

Background on Hope Horses and KidsFounded in 2010, Hope, Horses &

Kids fills a need for all children in Mon-terey County especially those at risk or with special needs. Our talented team of “Equine Assistants” provides a variety of experiences and activities to a diverse group of riders each week. Our programs offer support to individuals with physical disabilities, emotional disabilities, cog-nitive, behavioral and other challenges. They experience things they have never been exposed to anywhere else, and they blossom from these experiences.

Hope Horses and Kids is a nonprofit, public benefit corporation, tax ID#27-3717973

The experiences our kids have with the horses is truly magical. On a daily basis we watch the children develop confidence as they become the leader for one of our “Equine Assistants.” Their concentration and focus on the project they set out to accomplish with one of the horses can be a completely new ex-perience. Children do not always ride to achieve the positive effects of horse

therapy. Our horses frequently act as an aid by simply giving challenged children a large and gentle companion to care for. Grooming, brushing, bathing and currying have been shown to provide a relaxing and calming effect.

Riding one of our horses provides an outlet for new physical experiences for our children. Frequently they are challenged to use their bodies and balance in ways that they have never before known possible. The neuromuscular stimulation provided by horses when being ridden through their unique rhythmic movement has shown tremendous results. Our horses provide all riders with a feeling of freedom and independence that may be limited in ev-eryday life.

We partner with numerous individuals and organizations in Monterey County to bring the magic of equine assisted thera-py to a variety of individuals. The lives of over 400 children and young adults have been touched by Hope, Horses & Kids. Our community partners include Hope Services, First Tee, SPCA of Mon-terey County, Salinas High, Veteran’s Transition Program and other wonderful organizations.
