Tree ordinance now closer to completionBut it ain’t over ’til it’s overBy Marge Ann Jameson

A revision of Pacific Grove's controversial tree ordinance took another giant step closer to reality at Wednesday's City Council meeting when the council voted unanimously to send suggested changes back to staff for codification. Provided with three options, one of which included formation of a “small group” to study the matter, the council followed Alan Cohen's suggestion that they get it over with then and there.

“It's been studied enough,” he said.Thom Akeman of the Natural Resources

Committee agreed. “We've talked about it enough,” he said. “Make a decision.”

Pension initiative qualifies

City enacts citizen initiative

By Marge Ann Jameson

The citizens’ initiative to limit Pacific Grove’s contribution to employee retirement pensions has been certified by the Monterey County Registrar of voters after 934 signatures were verified, thereby qualifying it for the Nov. 2 ballot. But the measure was instead enacted into law Wednesday by the City Council.

It isn’t perfect, but because it was a citizens’ initiative, law requires that it be either enacted or placed on the ballot as-is. Small repairs will be voted on in November.

“Why waste $45,000 of the citizens’ money putting it on the ballot, when we can put a fix-it item on the ballot?” asked council member Alan Cohen.

Stating that she has no faith either in the state of California or the CalPERS board to repair the

Unfinished businessThere will be a

continued meeting of the Pacific Grove City Council on Tuesday, July 27 at 6:00 p.m. in City Council chambers to complete items from the July 21 meeting. Up for discussion will be planning process improvements, a green building ordinance, and options to regulate a potential medical marijuana facility in Pacific Grove.

The regularly schedule meeting of the Architectural Review Board will not be held at its usual place and time.

Celebrating the Farmers Market at its new location

The issue, Pacific Grove Municipal Code Section 12.16, has been unpopular for years as being constrictive and unclear. Individuals have testified on numerous occasions before the council about the law, and formed a coalition they called “Residents for Responsible Change” to further the discussion. The matter has been bounced back and forth from city council to the Beautification and Natural Resources Committee (now the Natural Resources Committee) of the city to the Planning Commission and even a town hall meeting. Countless hours have been spent in committee and by individuals in an attempt to come to a consensus on the matter.

Each council member, using a matrix provided by staff, expressed opinion and support for portions of the issue. The matrix broke down the differences between opposing views into succinct phrases. Staff will now draft a new tree ordinance and bring it back to council for a vote.

The alternative approaches to the issue come from two camps: individual property owners' rights and responsibilities as opposed to the rights and responsibilities of the community. Questions of safety, quiet enjoyment, environment and maintenance responsibilities all come into play, and the new ordinance will attempt to clarify and codify these matters to the satisfaction of most.

Another question had to do with the two-for-one replacement policy which has been very unpopular, despite being more lenient than some communities' requirements. It will likely become a one-for-one requirement.

The punitive nature of the “fines” portion in the current measure does not sit well with most, either, and decriminalization will be a part of the solution. The city has not been stringent about enforcement, due to staffing constrictions, but just the fact that the possibility was there was enough to arouse ire.

A copy of “Landscape Trees for Pacific Grove, a Guide to Selection, Planting and Care” is available at City Hall. The guide offers suggestions for maintaining an “urban forest” and how to choose “the right tree for the right spot” in Pacific Grove.

problems with pension funding or the failing pension system itself, council member Lisa Bennett said, “We can’t wait.”Neither council members Robert Huitt nor Bill Kampe were completely happy with the measure. Saying he was

disappointed with the demonizing of employees, Huitt said he doesn’t like the ballot initiative but that “this needs to be enacted.” He said he doesn’t have the kind of “moral certitude” about it that he would like and that “It’s very likely that something about what we’re doing is wrong” after hearing testimony from CalPERS pension actuary Barbara Ware that CalPERS would sue the city for any unpaid amounts over and above the 10 percent the new law would allow plus any employee contribution.

While Huitt voted for the measure, along with five other council members, Kampe dissented. “This is not transitional,” he said. “It’s an instant reset, a long shot.” He said he felt that it would be damaging to the city, though he did support the companion item before the council that placed repairs to the citizens’ initiative on the November ballot.

Joining the CalPERS actuary in warning about potential lawsuits, Christopher Darker, business manager for United Public Employees of California Local 792, said “The city will probably face a number of legal challenges” over the initiative. He said that the measure should have been carefully reviewed before going out to voters and stated his belief that it is illegal because of unfair labor practices.

Cedar Street Times

achievesadjudication

Most folks don’t know -- or care -- what it is, but it’s a milestone for which the publisher and staff of Cedar Street Times has worked for nearly two years: Adjudication as a newspaper of general circulation by the Superior Court of the County of Monterey.

The order was made Friday, July 16.“It has been a goal since we set out in

September, 2008 to become Pacific Grove’s voice for news, opinion and events,” said publisher Marge Ann Jameson.

The newspaper has seen its circulation and the size of each issue double since those first days, she said.

“We want to present Pacific Grove as it sees itself,” she said, of the newspaper which has become known for plentiful pictures of residents and the city itself, as well as for its clear, concise reporting on issues and events of local interest.

With 24 years of experience in weekly newspapers, Jameson said she believes that there’s enough going on in Pacific Grove to keep the paper busy for years to come, without going outside city limits for news. “Community newspapers are the growing niche, while larger newspapers are going to wire services and are forced to be all things to all people. We know you’re not going to see a PG Boy Scout Troop in the New York Times but you’re not going to read about what the U.S. Congress is up to in Cedar Street Times, either. Unless, of course, it directly affects Pacific Grove.

The name of the newspaper was chosen, she said, because “there’s a Cedar Street in many American towns. It says ‘news of home,’ news about the neighborhood.”

Pacific Grove news conference urges support for ‘Jobs Budget Plan’Educators warn governor’s

plan would cut billions more from schools

Monterey County teachers, administrators and classified school employees held a news conference Wednesday to talk about the devastating local impact of $17 billion in statewide cuts to schools over the past two years, and to endorse the Assembly budget proposal, a budget plan that protects students from further cuts.

In contrast to the governor’s budget proposal, which reduces funding to schools and students by an additional $4 billion, the “Jobs Budget Plan” proposal honors the commitment made less than a year ago by the governor and the Legislature to protect California’s students, does not suspend or manipulate the Proposition 98 constitutional funding guarantee for public education, and does not impose more cuts on schools that have been devastated by drastic reductions. State cuts resulted in nearly 3,000 educators losing their jobs this year in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and nearly 15,000 statewide.

The news conference was part of the weeklong training conference for 650 educators from across the state held annually by the 325,000-member California Teachers Association at the Asilomar Conference Center. CTA and the entire Education Coalition are encouraged that the Assembly and Senate have made some progress during recent budget negotiations, agreeing upon fundamental principles to protect schools and students, as well as to protect all children from harmful cuts.

Speakers included David A. Sanchez, president of the California Teachers Association; Ralph Gómez Porras, superintendent of Pacific Grove Unified School District; Robert Cummings, president of the California School Employees Association Monterey-JC Crumpton Chapter 93 and a maintenance worker for Monterey Peninsula Unified School District; Dennis Wright, president of the Monterey Bay Teachers Association; Ray Muñoz, president of the Alisal Teachers Association; and Karina Curiel, president of Gonzales Teachers Association.

Submitted by the California Teachers Association. The 325,000-member CTA is affiliated with the 3.2 million-member National Education Association.

Detention center to stay putThe United States Department of Commerce and Department of Labor have reached

a joint decision in the plea to move the Asiatic Detention Center. Advocates desire that people being detained there, mostly Chinese, be moved

from Angel Island to the steamship wharves area in San Francisco. All incoming immigrants are required to remain at the detention center while their papers are checked over, but complainants say that these people have little more than shacks and shanties in which to stay. Sanitation facilities are virtually nonexistent.

Nonetheless, the two departments have ruled that a change in location will not be made. However, spokespeople of the agencies agreed to attempt hurrying the immigration process along.

The Chinese community located in Pacific Grove has expressed displeasure with the decision. 1

Museum visitors registerAccording to the Directors of Pacific Grove’s Museum of Natural History, visitors

are increasing. During the first three weeks of this month, twenty-four visitors signed in. It is interesting to note from how many parts of the world our museum visitors come.

During the past six months, nearly every country in Europe, nearly every American state and principal city have been represented upon the museum register. Among these visitors were not a few men of science from the leading universities of the world.

This registration not only shows that Pacific Grove and its Museum of Natural Science are quite widely known, but that it is an enterprise truly appreciated.

Destitute boy institutionalizedConstable J. A. Pell has returned home after a trip to Wittier. The purpose of Pell’s

trip was to escort Arthur Beardsley to the Wittier Insane Asylum. Beardsley had been taken in several weeks ago as a destitute youngster who

split his time between Pacific Grove and Parajo, climbing aboard box cars to make the trip. If Beardsley has a family, the lad has been totally ignored by its members. However, the court refused to declare the teenager as an Incorrigible, and no criminal activities had been engaged in, so imprisonment was not possible.

Arrangements were made with the Wittier Insane Asylum to care for the boy until he reaches adult age and can be released. 2

Grovian bilked in scamKenneth Willis informed police that bunko men have taken $250 from him in a

swindle.Willis said that he was still at the train station, after seeing off a visitor, when he

met a man who introduced himself as Mr. Hall. Hall stated that he was a traveling salesman who had just arrived in town.

Liking the man, Willis offered to take him to dinner at the Park Hotel, where the salesman alleged that he was staying, saying that afterward he would show him around town and take him to a show at the Work Theater. Hall agreed, but said that the men should give their cash and valuables to the hotel manager to lock up in the hotel safe pending their return … just in case. During their journey, the salesman excused himself to use a bathroom, and failed to return.

When Willis finally wearied of waiting, he returned to the hotel to claim his valuables, which included $250 in cash. The manager was not the man Willis had dealt with before. The real manager knew nothing about the transaction.

Andrew Carnegie still visiting in areaMogul Andrew Carnegie and his wife are enjoying an extended Peninsula holiday.

The couple side-railed their private car in Monterey, and moved in to spacious quarters in the Del Monte Hotel.

This morning, on the way around the 17 Mile Drive, the Carnegies stopped for lunch in Pacific Grove. Earlier in the day, workers at the Pacific Grove Carnegie Library had hung a flag in the industrialist’s honor.

Notes from around the area…Mr. George Shelton, proprietor of up-to-date shoe polishing parlors, has opened

a new shop in Pacific Grove. In addition to caring for either lady’s or gents shoe’s, Shelton deals in books. At his new store, which is located on Forest near Lighthouse, more that 3,000 books are shelved for sale or exchange. 3

R. McDonald of Tacoma traveled to Pacific Grove by train to spend several days. McDonald stated that his journey was a combination of pleasure and business. McDonald selected the Del Mar Hotel as his local residency.

Miss Kate Coffin and Mrs. Joseph Root left the Grove for a leisurely trip to San Francisco. There, the two women intend to meet up with a former Grovian, Mrs. W. W. Case, now of Denver, and then enjoy a ten-day holiday together.

The cost of living…Divine healing. Donate whatever you want. Wednesday. 7 pm. The El Bethel

Mission. Healing rituals follow a sermon entitled “Sanctification: What Is It?”Any meal at any hour! Our café is new, clean, and neat. At D. W. Damewood’s

Restaurant, located in the Scobie Building at 609 Lighthouse, complete meals start at 75¢.

Central Market, Charles Barker Proprietor, has fresh salmon on hand. 25¢ a pound, filleted. We are located at 584 Lighthouse. Phone W 418.

NotesA detention center on Angel Island had been set up to lodge Asian immigrants

during processing for admission to the United States. The pre-Angel facility, located in an abandoned San Francisco warehouse, was declared unfit for human habitation in 1903. The Angel Island facility did little to improve the situation.

During the Victorian era, many people were embarrassed by mental problems or poverty. Out-of-town institutions were thus the providers of many contracted services. The Monterey County History Society reports that many patients were accommodated by an institution near Santa Cruz. In this case, Constable Bell escorted the minor ward to the Wittier Insane Asylum to “kill two birds with one stone”. Bell was escorting another individual there.

Leaving off shoes to have work done? Mr. Shelton would loan you a book to read during the interim.

Tap Banana at Sally Griffin Active Living Center

Former PG resident and the youngest senior member of the Tap Bananas, Beryl Czuleger is tapping new ground at the Sally Griffin Center. The new phase is Tap Dance Exercise. Czuleger’s enthusiastic troop gave a demonstration recital for the luncheon crowd at noon in the dining room and it was packed with equally enthusiastic onlookers. The class is open to anyone interested in joining.

According to Chuck Chernoff, an 83 year-young resident of Monterey, “We’re just a group of citizens that come to tap. Beryl is a wonderful teacher, I have only had maybe four or five lessons, I’ve danced all of my life, of course I do other types of dancing, but I just fake it, like all men” he said in jest.

Dorothy Wick, another long-time Pacific Grove resident, had a change of heart after watching the dancers and decided that she might like to join the class.

Classes are held on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Beryl gets lots of support at home from her husband Tommy; they may be remembered as owners of the wet suit factory in the 70’s and 80’s down on Cannery Row.

The Retired Firehouse Cook

Last Saturday I had the treat of my life. I got to barbecue, which is always nice, but I had two volunteer helpers and the Bean Lady which made the job much easier plus someone else to do the shopping and cleaning up. And about 200 happy guests. What more could a guy ask for?

Feast of Lanterns held a barbecue at Jewell Park as a fund-raiser, and Charlie Higuera from Grove Market donated most of what any red-blooded American barbecuer would need – tons of tri-tips and dozens of hot dogs. Those tri-tips were even marinated, so I didn’t have to do that, and he lent us a slicer so I didn’t have to stand there and slice hot tri tips. His grandson, Johnny, brought over all of Charlie’s barbecue equipment, charcoal and mesquite. I brought a big box full of oak to add more flavor. It turned out very well.

By this time, Charlie was already in Idaho, leaving me on my own – I guess my reputation precedes me!

A couple of dads from the Royal Court volunteered to be apprentice barbecuers, we all ate well, the Feast made money and a good time was had by all.

I’m here to thank Charlie for the donation, and to thank those Court dads and the Bean Lady for the help. I never got time to more than snack, but it was great even if I do say so myself.

I start cooking the tri-tips on a hot grill to sear both sides of the meat, and then raise the grill. I keep a meat thermometer on hand and when they reach 140 degrees inside, it’s time to remove them from the grill and put them in an insulated cooler to stay hot. They’ll cook a little more for another 20 minutes so be vigilant.

We also had “home improved beans.” I cooked up about 18 tons of sausage, onion, green peppers, jalapeños and spices to add to the canned variety of beans to give them a more robust flavor. There were people who asked for seconds so I guess I did it right.

Monday night was the inauguration of the Farmers Market at its new location. There was a very festive air, they tell me, and people seemed to be having an even better time than usual at the Market. Robert Lewis told me there was a new attitude down there, and we agreed that this new location just may be the trick to get rid of the crankiness around town. Maybe. I missed the festivities because I was meeting some out-of-towners for dinner and they were buying, so who was I to turn down the invitation?

Her Editorness and I were introduced

to a now-favorite vegetable at the Felton Farmers Market, still going strong after more than 20 years. It’s a mostly organic market, but that was never what drove us there. We went for the chance to visit with friends and to get fresh vegetables, fruits, and bakery bread.

Our discovery there in Felton is also available in Pacific Grove – golden beets. If you’ve never tried them, do so. They’re milder than red beets and sweeter. They’re usually smaller, too. Beets are low in calories and fat, and they have a lot of potassium plus other good stuff including vitamin C. Beet greens are also good, cooked or raw in salads, and have a lot of nutrition value as well.

We usually steam the beets and eat them with butter, but here’s a recipe for:

Golden Beet & Toasted WalnutFeta Salad with Dijon Dressing

This salad is the perfect balance of sweet beets, salty feta, peppery greens, and rich toasted walnuts. The dressing ties all the ingredients together to make an unforgettable salad. Serve this to impress any guest, but make sure to make extra for the next day. It is the perfect light lunch or visually sensational appetizer.

Serves 4

Ingredients FOR THE SALAD

4 large golden beets, roasted or steamed, and diced 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 small red onion, diced and sautéed 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts 2 cups fresh baby spinach or arugula

Everything but the worms:Worm composting

demonstration,free seeds and a drawingat next Monday’s Market

There will be a free worm composting demonstration at the Pacific Grove Farmers' Market with a drawing for a free compost bin give-away on Monday, July 26 at 5:30 p.m. The event will take place at the Market’s new location at Central and Grand Ave.

You can help reduce what goes into our local landfill by learning how to compost your food waste by vermicomposting. The demonstration will be performed by garden expert and Executive Director of Everyone's Harvest, Iris Peppard. Don't forget to bring your garden cuttings and seeds for the Garden Exchange, and be aware that Everyone’s Harvest will give away free vegetable and flower seeds that day as well.

The entire event is free. More info. 384-6961.

Farmer’s Market debuts atnew Central Ave. location

Opening Day of the Pacific Grove Farmers Market at its new location near the Museum and the Library was celebrated Monday, July 19 with speeches, a ribbon-cutting, larger-than-usual crowds, entertainment by Microtonic Harmonic and visits by fruit and vegetables, though whether the two-legged varieties were Certified Organic remains to be seen.

The fledgling Market began on Lighthouse Avenue after many meetings about siting it, but immediately faced controversy from merchants.

The new location, approved in early June by the Planning Commission, is a compromise among many factions. While requiring re-routing of traffic, it will hopefully prove more popular with shoppers and merchants alike. The Farmers Market is held year-round on Mondays from 4:00 until 7:00, rain or shine.

Coming soon to an MPC Theatre near you

If you’re up for a quantity of poetry and lessons that won’t lessen you, behest yourself with youthful folly and a moveable feast for your eyes. This is the year to see Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at the Outdoor Forest Theater in Carmel. It is sure to feed your soul, and this is the final weekend.

The, oh so oversized set makes you and the characters seem small; while they seem reduced you’ll be enlarged by the view and their performances too. Each persona “beaked” aloud with a personal best of colorful expression and silly sophistication bringing the impropriety of the tea party to life in an imaginatively original way by director Mark Englehorn. The crowd “cooed” in unison with awe at the sight of the fantabulous caterpillar, smoke, mushroom and all.

Domini Anne’s costumes, each of unique simplistic creative whimsy, produce a splendor of its most perfectly pleasant best.

Black and white and red all over, transparently textured and lighted through, Nicole Anne Bryant Stephens has boldly put herself once again on the map as a spectacular set designer of original brilliance. I had my doubts that Carey Crockett’s sets could be rivaled, but the high standards we have become accustomed to are being maintained with impressive style to say the least. With additional team efforts of Reed Scott and Josh Fryou the set “trips to lights fantastic.” To top it off the mad hatter “tied” it all together. Skip Kadish, another of Pacific Grove’s claim to fame, enthusiastically raced up and down and all-around each set and scene with vivacity and acclaim. To mock the turtle surely would

Where can you get lessons that won’t lessen you?

not do for her songs of the sea were laced with wit and glee for me, and the Cheshire cat will most likely bring a sly smile. Everyone’s act was as perfect as could be, the tiny oysters too.

Alice “rocked” with a solid lead throughout. Get a seat up close so that you’ll be able to hear all the innuendo and get a good look at the makeup, though you may risk losing your head! The snack

bar is stocked with goodies and the wonderful attendants served up deliciously fresh cooked hot dogs, polish, popcorn and an array of hand selected treats and beverages. I wouldn’t miss this

show for all the tea in China. They are also offering souvenir sweatshirts!

Closing weekend shows at 8:00 Friday and Saturday night, Sunday Matinee at 2 p.m.

Upcoming ExhibitsJuly 23-September 2, 2010

Louise Cardeiro Boyer Gallery“Transformations: New Works on Paper”

E. Kristina Baer: Photographs and PoemsShirley Loomis: Calligraphy

Ilse Buchert Nesbitt: Woodcuts“Transformations” is an exhibition of collaborative and individual works on

paper by three artists. “I am a gardener and a walker,” Kristina Baer says. “Many of my poems begin in

my garden or on a walk when something catches my eye; a squirrel burying an acorn, a little boy on a beach.”

“Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing,” Shirley Loomis explains. “A calligraphed text entices us to read slowly and to appreciate each letter and word as an object of beauty in its own right.”

When Ilse Buchert Nesbitt was an art student in Germany, she decided to try woodcut as an exercise. “I had an intuitive feeling for color, but I had trouble drawing. Naturally, woodcut was very educational, because you cannot take the liberties with the knife that you might take with a pencil or brush. You must discipline and simplify your drawing to render shapes. As it turned out, what began as an exercise became her passion.

David Henry Gill Gallery“Las Cadre: 21st Century Groove”

Las Cadre is a critique group of working artists and teachers from the San Francisco Bay area. The majority of members are masters in their craft, working primarily in ceramic sculpture, and including some painters, printmakers, and potters. Each artist has a consistent list of regular yearly shows, following their extensive education in Bay Area universities. Collectively, they have won national and international awards and art residencies, been featured in prestigious publications, and authored art catalogues and reviews. They focus on maintaining friendships and creating inspiration in a relaxed, comfortable environment. The Las Cadre critique process is both nurturing and stimulating. Information sharing and constructive analysis continually occurs in this artistic, progressive community.

Elmarie Dyke Gallery“People I’ve Seen: An Exhibition in Black and White” by Dale Garell

Dale Garell lives in Carmel Valley and began his career as a photographer in 2006, using digital photography as his medium for expression. He has traveled to France, the Far East, throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, emphasizing scenes from nature, both environmental and human, as his primary focus.

Nadine Anand Gallery“Quiet Place: Photography by Ryuijie and Camille Lenore”

Born in Japan and raised in the US, Ryuijie returned to the Central California Coast after a tour in the US Navy. Over the past 30 years, he has studied with Josephus Daniels, printed Edward Weston¹s images for Cole Weston, and established a reputation for his own exquisite platinum/palladium prints. Each of his prints is characterized by perfection.

Camille Lenore was born in Oakland, and moved to Monterey to attend college and pursue her interest in marine life and scuba diving. She studied alternative processing and film production at CSU, Monterey Bay, followed by studies in language, art, and cultural studies at the University Paris IV Sorbonne. In 1995, she began assisting Ryuijie in printing Jock Sturges’s portfolio in platinum.

Your achievements

Peeps Scuba Talk Radio launch July 25If you’ve ever dived an enjoyed Lovers Point, you

are a candidate to enjoy Scuba Talk Now, Pirates Radio.Eric Foster, former Pacific Grove resident, has teamed

up with a number of sponsors and a few friends to launch Scuba Talk Now, Pirate’s Radio on Sunday morning, July 25 from 800 to 9:00 a.m. They will broadcast the talk show from Cannery Row on KNRY 1240 AM.

The team will broadcast every Sunday from KNRY for the first five weeks starting at 8:00 a.m., then as funds allow, they intend to move to 7-9:00 a.m. and at that time will also pick up KRXA 540 AM, live on Saturday mornings 6-8:00 a.m. Both shows will be live, with SCUBA oriented interviews; Monterey Bay weather, dive and surf reports; a Guest of the Day; product evaluations; Dive Ppot of the Day and Wreck of the Day in Monterey Bay and elsewhere.

Projected guest spots include representatives from Hyperbaric Facility in Pacific Grove, Monterey Rescue, the U.S. Coast Guard, professors in Marine Biology at CSUMB, dive masters and dive instructors, spear fishermen, divers, specialists in underwater photography and videography, the Disabled Veterans Scuba Oroject, information on certification in scuba diving, and lots of information on the Blue Ocean Film Festival Aug. 24-29.

The first guest will be Dr. Franklin Schwing from NOAA.“We’ll go in and out of segments with rock & roll to get the blood circulating,” said Foster. “When you’re diving,

you never know what you’re going to find – that’s where the “pirates” comes from. Radio for SCUBA pirates.”As they stream live from KNRY.com they will add SCUBATalkNow.com to the mix and will stream live and

podcasts in the very near future. They can currently be found on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook at .com/scubatalknow.Only one other scuba talk show on radio in the nation, and it used to broadcast here in Monterey but it ended

because “listeners wanted more scuba and less other stuff,” said Foster, himself a certified commercial diver. Though an accident knocked him out of the commercial aspect, “this allows me to be near diving,” he said. Foster has more than 15 years of marketing and sales experience.

Sponsors include: Cedar Street Times, Big Blue Dive Lights, Sly McFly’s, Otter Bay Wetsuits, Peninsula Tire Service, Wasson’s Cleaning and Restoration, Dark Fin Gloves, Duffy’s Tavern and Family Restaurant, Sunshine Freestyle, XPress Print, Glen’s Aquarius and Silkscreen Express.

Feast of Lanterns 2010

Event ScheduleThe 2010 event schedule for Pacific Grove’s annual summer festival, the Feast of Lanterns, has been set for July. The 2010 schedule of activities will hold true to the many Feast of Lanterns traditions including the Opening Ceremony, Pet Parade, Chalk Fest, and the pantomime of the Legend of the Blue Willow by the Royal Court, but financial considerations have required canceling the fireworks and moving the Pageant from Lovers Point to the Performing Arts Center. These changes are required to ensure the long term viability of the Feast of Lanterns. However, with the community’s support the Feast of Lanterns will return to Lovers Point next summer. The Feast of Lanterns is entirely funded by donations received from the residents and businesses of Pacific Grove and friends of the Feast of Lanterns. It is donations from this community that will enable the Feast of Lanterns to return to Lovers Point with fireworks over the Cove and all the other traditions everyone enjoys. Send your support to FOL PO Box 809 Pacific Grove, CA 93950 or via the website www.feast-of-lanterns.org.
