She wasn't headed for Disneyland af-ter winning the election Tues., Nov. 8, but former Pacific Grove mayor Jeanne Byrne quipped that she just might consider a “long, hot shower” instead – a fitting destination for someone who had just upset the incumbent, Regina Doyle, to take a seat on the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District board for District 4.

Byrne and her supporters had handed out thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer to potential voters, saying “Here's your shower in 2016.” The reference was to the potential of severe rationing as a result of the state's Cease and Desist order to Cal Am, the area's water

purveyor, to stop pumping water for its customers from the Carmel River.

With all precincts in and a very few absentee ballots let to be counted, Byrne had garnered 2,312 votes or 58.13 percent of the 3,977 votes cast in District 4. She credited her campaign manager and workers for bringing her the victory. They knocked on doors, handed out information leaflets and posted signs tirelessly over a number of weekends.

Despite missing out on the endorsement of the area's daily newspaper and the weekly tabloid with the largest circulation, Byrne had

Jeanne Byrne

Supporters' hopes were high, but in the end Measure V, the parcel tax measure aimed at educational programs for Pacific Grove Schools, did not pass. It gained 61.44 percent of the vote on Tues., Nov. 8 but it wasn't quite enough. It needed 66.66 percent.

The margin was similar to the parcel tax requested by the Pacific Grove Public Library last year, which was also turned down by voters. While a majority favored passage of Measure Q, those few extra votes

needed to make a “supermajority” were not forthcoming. Measure Q received 61.78 percent of the vote.

Measure V would have replaced Mea-sure X, a parcel tax of $35 which sunsets more than a year from now, with a parcel tax of $60. The money would be earmarked solely for instructional programs which, though meeting a high standard to date, may begin to suffer with the prolonged financial downturn.

Having asked for the new tax may

have confused some voters, who thought they would be taxed twice. Other voters may have confused the new parcel tax with Measure D, the facilities bond used to make a series of improvements to classrooms at all campuses and to build a new athletic stadium. Measure D was not to be spent on instruction, as Measure V was not to be spent on facilities or adminis-tration. Maybe it was the economy.

Measure V majority not big enough

Measure Uflies through

The measure which would mitigate many of the restrictive portions of 25 year-old Measure C flew through the election process with a huge “for” vote. Measure U received 71.97 percent of the vote among 2,833 af-fected voters.

“In my 25 years in PG, I do not recall a business related measure that got such a percentage. Thanks to the City Council that decided to place the measure on the ballot, and urge a yes vote. I believe a crucial reason that it passed by such a high percentage is that early on in the process, the Chamber decided to involve the residents who authored measure C in 1986,” said Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce. “The innkeepers stepped up and funded the campaign to promote the measure. The voters realized after 25 years that times have changed and measure C was too restrictive. It is a win-win for all,” he said.

Innkeepers also agreed to pay half of the cost of placing the measure on the ballot, $22,500, in a special assessment.

Byrne said that she felt that people were part of the environment and needed to be taken into consideration as well. She reported that she was interested in examining other solutions than the current front-runner project, the Regional Water Project, a desalination plant in Marina. Byrne told potential voters she wanted to find new water as well as replacement water, and had been working on the issue and studying it since the 1990s.

Byrne will represent Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach during a four-year term.Byrne had been watching the close race between her potential counterparts in Di-

vision 5, where challenger Scott Dick led incumbent Bob Brower by a narrow margin early in the evening, but eventually fell by 52 votes. She felt that if Brower retained his seat and she gained hers, the Water District might be able to move forward with a more active majority.

Dick had based a large part of his campaign on public ownership of the local wa-ter system – the purchase of Cal Am. Brower, a Carmel Valley vintner who also had support from business and real estate, was in favor of finding new water sources to help economic vitality on the Monterey Peninsula, and preferred not to rely solely on replacement water in the current crisis.

Times, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ralph Gómez Porras said, “It is unfortunate that Measure V, the replacement parcel tax intended to continue the preservation of high quality educational programs for our schools through these troubled financial times, missed passage by only 5% percent. We will maintain the current level of program support through the remaining term of Measure X and continue to build our partner-ships with our local community.”

The District may regroup and try to get another measure passed before Measure X sunsets.

Cop logMarge Ann Jameson

Not victims, just drunkHotel occupants said their window was broken and they thought there had been

an attempted burglary while they were out, but it seems they were just drunk. The male guest figured out that he had probably broken it himself when he was trying to undress near the window but he was so drunk he couldn’t remember. The hotel owner says they’ll be receiving a little bill to go with the hangover.

DUIJessica Lynn Zoellin was booked for DUI on Fountain Ave.Jesus Melendez-Rodriguez was arrested for DUI and then released.Jay Kirk Moeller was involved in an accident on Forest and found to be drunk.

Stuff takenThe reporting party said someone took his stuff while he was asleep behind Nob

Hill Market.Backpack bagged: Homework’s gonna be late

Victim reports someone took his backpack at the PG Youth Center on 10/28. It was black and grey with a red cross inside a circle on the outside. Inside were his lunchbox and school books.

Repeat after me: Lock your car.Funny thing, every one of the following victims were females.A necklace and XM radio receiver were taken from an unlocked vehicle on

Miles Ave.Purse and contents were stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Avalon Place. They

were later recovered when a neighbor found them.A purse was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Forest Park Ct.Items were taken from an unlocked vehicle on Forest Park Ct.Items were taken from an unlocked vehicle on Heacock Ave.

Locked or unlocked, stolen or notA vehicle on Walcott Ave. was ransacked during the night but apparently noth-

ing was taken.Scam or harassment?

Victim reported that someone called her and said they were responding to a Craigs List ad about her giving away two vehicles. She not only was not giving away any vehicles, but hadn’t placed any ads and thought it might be just done to harass her. The officer looked at Craigs List and found nothing with the victim’s phone number.

Lost and foundReporting party lost her iPhone, drivers license and two bank cards. Believed to

have been lost on the Rec Trail.A purse was found on Jewell Ave. A property letter was sent, and when the citi-

zen arrived to pick it up she was unable to prove the prescriptions in the purse were hers. They wouldn’t release it. She returned with the documentation and retrieved the purse and contents.

A trifold wallet was left at a business. The owner picked it up.A cell phone was found on Pine at 4th but it was all wet and wouldn’t turn on.A wallet was found on David Ave. The owner has since retrieved it.

Bike vs. Parked CarA bicyclist collided with a parked car and was transported to CHOMP.

Take that!A person reported her neighbor had attacked her with her walker. She decided

she didn’t want to press charges.Bark bark Whack

Two people got into it at the dog park and one person whacked the other. It is not known what the dogs did about it.

Bark bark barkDogs on Shell Ave. were reported to be barking excessively and disturbing the

peace of the neighborhood. The dog owner informed the police officer that she was gone all day and the dogs like to chase squirrels while she’s gone. The police officer said to try something else. To be continued.

No one homeSomeone broke into a shed behind a business but apparently didn’t take any-

thing. The reporting party described a transient man who had been caught sleeping there in the past as a possible suspect.

Meth found in stolen car On Nov. 5, while responding to a suspicious person report in Pebble

Beach, deputies with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office noticed a silver Ford Focus leaving Pebble Beach at the Highway 1 Gate. Further investiga-tion concluded that the 2005 Ford Focus had been stolen from a location in Seaside. The occupants were Victor Hall and Victor Ramirez, individuals on released by the California Department of Corrections on parole. A search of the vehicle yielded methamphetamine packaged for sale. Ramirez was found to be carrying a large, fixed blade knife, concealed on his person, was wanted on felony charges and was considered a parolee at large. Both individuals were detained, arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail.

On Nov. 3 at about 11:43 p.m., Pacific Grove Police Department officers approached the occupants of a truck with a camper parked on the 800 block of Crocker Avenue.

During the contact, it was determined that one of the occupants, Jonathon Sutor, a 34 year-old Pacific Grove resident, was on probation. Pursuant to the terms of proba-tion, PGPD officers conducted a search of the truck and camper and located a small quantity of heroin, methamphetamine, controlled prescription medications, narcotics paraphernalia, two firearms, four “billy clubs” and a “seal bomb.”

Sutor was arrested and booked at Monterey County Jail for possession of narcot-ics, possession of controlled substances, possession of paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, unlawful possession of firearms, unlawful possession of a destructive device, unlawful possession of dangerous weapons, and violation of probation.

A “seal bomb” is a small explosive device intended to be used to scare away marine mammals from fishing grounds or birds from crops. Similar to a “flash bang” grenade, “seal bombs” are intended more to make a lot of noise than to harm and are often used by fishers. But the devices are considered to be a “high explosive” and have the explosive power of approximately a quarter stick of dynamite. Therefore, they are controlled by the BATF and require a permit to purchase and possess.

The device was turned over to the bomb squad. It is not known at this time what the intended use of the explosive other than was or whether Sutor had the necessary permit.

Drugs, guns and explosivefound in probation search

At approximately 9:17 a.m. on Wed., Nov. 9, three adult males wearing masks and gloves entered the Chase Bank at the Pacific Grove Country Club Gate Center. Two of the males were armed with hand-guns and one male was armed with what appeared to be an assault rifle.

Witnesses outside saw the men, wear-ing masks of Presidents Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and a third President, and immediately called 9-1-1.

The assailants ordered customers in the bank to get on the floor. Tellers were apparently ordered into the safe. The sus-pects then took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled out a back door of the bank toward the parking lot.

A total of six people, employees and customers, were in the bank at the time. None was hurt.

Pacific Grove schools were all placed on lockdown for about 45 minutes, until it

Armed robbery at Chase Bank in Country Club Gate Center

was determined that the robbers had left the area. A reverse 9-1-1 called alerted parents.

Witnesses said that the three males fled in a newer silver Volkswagen beetle, west bound on Forest Lodge Road. As officers arrived on the scene and began to check the area they found a silver VW bug parked in a residential area near forest Grove school. The VW was unoccupied and it had been reported stolen from Salinas.

This remains an active investigation by the Pacific Grove Police department with the assistance of the FBI, the Cali-fornia department of Justice, California Highway Patrol and the Monterey county sheriff’s Department.

If you have any information regard-ing the incident you are asked to call the Pacific Grove Police department at 831-648-3143.

The yellow crime scene tape is gone from the Chase Bank at Country Club Gate in Pacific Grove, where a bank robbery took place Wed., Nov. 9. Three masked gunmen entered the front door but after holding up the bank, escaped out a back door and left in a stolen car.


Dear Readers: Please bear in mind that historical articles such as “High Hats & Parasols” present our history — good and bad — in the language and terminology used at the time. The writings contained in “High Hats” are not our words. They are quoted from Pacific Grove/Monterey publications from 100 years in the past. Our journalistic predecessors held to the highest possible standards for their day, as do we at Cedar Street Times. Please also note that any items listed for sale in “High Hats” are “done deals,” and while we would all love to see those prices again, people also worked for a dollar a day back then. Thanks for your understanding.

Boys found, all are safeThe editor of your Pacific Grove Review is pleased to report that the five boys who

left the grove for an adventure in the wild arrived home this morning. The boys, all of them scouts, had set out for a hiking and camping weekend in the mountains south of Carmel. They departed Friday and were due home Sunday. By Monday, however, the boys had not yet returned. On Tuesday, several locals set out in search of them. That afternoon the missing troopers were located. None had been injured, but all complained of being tired, cold, and hungry. They reported having gotten lost on the way back to the Grove.

Southern Pacific revenue is fallingThe Southern Pacific Company sent out orders yesterday to reduce expenditures in

all areas of the Oakland District, which includes the Grove. Among the ordered cuts: Charles F. Lafferty, in the company’s service for more than 30 years and presently serving as the chief area auditor, was asked to resign.

With Lafferty’s going, the entire list of train auditors who have watched over passengers, and have caught up with many scalped tickets, has been swept clean. All other auditing-assistant positions calling for wages of $125 monthly (plus travel costs) have been eliminated. These gentlemen were originally hired to make the work of train conductors easier. Now that the number of passengers is falling, their work is less important, this according to railroad management.

C. R. Estabrook, in charge of the Grove’s depot and affairs, says that he hopes that railroad passenger revenue soon increases so that the fired auditors can be rehired.1

Talked about wreckIn the write-up of the teachers’ banquet at Pebble Beach Lodge on Thursday last,

the Review omitted mention of the very interesting talk which was given by T. J. Rich-ardson, a local adventurer. Mr. Richardson had the recent misfortune to be one of the passengers on a steamer that was wrecked recently while on the way to Alaska. Rich-ardson gave the assemblage a graphic account of the unfortunate event. He eventually gave up on finding Alaskan gold, but never mind … his talk was greatly enjoyed by all.

Grove gets big shipment of pianosA large shipment of pianos just arrived at Duckworth’s music store. Now is the

time for selecting your piano while the stock is large and complete. Duckworth’s sale begins today and you can buy a new piano at less than a second-hand piano generally would cost. Music instructor Nolan will be in attendance ready to demonstrate quality by performing on the piano of your choice. Bring your own music if you wish to hear something special played. 2

The Church and those who support itThe third annual convention of the Monterey County Christian Endeavor Society

will be held in the United Presbyterian church in the Grove on Friday and Saturday. Delegates from every community in Monterey County will be in attendance and the members of the local societies are making preparations to give them a social reception. The program opens at 2:30 in the afternoon.

ABT Orchestra at Colonial tonightThe Franz Abt Orchestra will perform and the following program will be presented

at the Colonial Theatre this evening. This body of entertainment is being given under the direction of Mrs. C. L. Carrington. It is sure to be a real treat to all who attend. Selections include “Put on your old grey bonnet”, sung by Arma Locher; “Melody in F”, Rubenstein quartet; motion picture, “Life in the Artic”; “Royal Blue March” and “The Lincoln March”, ABT Orchestra; and much more. Admission is 25¢. Children under ten are 10¢. Doors open at 7. Curtain rises at 7:30.

Stone Canyon rail in troubleThere is trouble ahead for the Stone Canyon rail line, a company involving sev-

eral Grovians. The Stone Canyon was intended to provide the means for transporting the inflammable production of a coal mine from the southern part of the county to the Peninsula.

Recently, however, County Surveyor Leon Hare said that the original survey, made years ago, was inaccurate. The route then selected would be much more expensive than originally thought, would not reach the Peninsula, and would conflict with the auto mobile road now being considered. Auto mobiles were not in existence when the first survey was made.

Chairman William Casey is calling for a new survey. 3

Author’s notes… 1 Such would not be the case. In spite of marketing efforts like the “California

Invitation”, ridership continued to fall, partly due to the impact of automobiles. Also hurting the industry were such oddities as requiring railroads to couple on cabooses and to man trains with one brakeman per ten cars (vintage trains rarely comprised more than 10 cars and the brakemen really did apply brakes). Ticket “scalping” involved purchasing a ticket during special promotion and then reselling it at regular price or trying to obtain a full-price refund.

2 Duckworth’s located its principal store on Alvarado in Monterey. The “Pacific Grove” store was a few feet of space rented from a candy store. Only one piano was on display there.

3 The Stone Canyon dispute would continue for years. The coal mines were eventu-ally disguised as gold mines to attract more and wealthier investors.

Twenty years in the planning, the dream of acquiring 100-plus acres of land adjacent to the York School campus is now a reality. The addition of the “York Out-door Laboratory,” located on 101 acres of maritime chaparral in the former Fort Ord, increases the size of the campus fivefold, paving the way for expanded academic and athletic programs.

The initial application for the land, filed over 20 years ago, outlined the in-tended educational uses of the land. Dur-ing the transfer process, York faculty and administration developed curricular and extra-curricular plans for incorporating the land into York’s educational mission.

“We are excited about the opportuni-ties for our students to learn more about the natural environment in which they live and learn,” said Chuck Harmon, Head of School. “We pledge to be good stewards of this land, and we want to expand our partnerships in the larger community so that interested individuals and groups can join York students in observing, exploring, and enjoying the myriad scientific and rec-reational possibilities offered by the York

Outdoor Lab,” he said, adding that the vi-sion and participation of Trustee Emeritus Steven Webster have been invaluable.

Webster, a marine biologist and a founder of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, has been a lead proponent of the York Outdoor Laboratory and was instrumental in the acquisition process. He joined the York Board in 1979 and has served as trustee emeritus since 2005.

The York Outdoor Laboratory will provide education and research programs in field biology, ecology, natural history, geosciences, and the history of land use practices for York students and the Central Coast community. The York School ath-letic fields, on land previously leased from the U.S. Army, encompass approximately 30 of the 101.19 acres of the former Ford Ord property. York’s lacrosse, soccer, and field hockey teams practice and play on these fields. The remaining acreage is in a largely natural state, with the exception of a graded firebreak. The Outdoor Labo-ratory, adjacent to the Fort Ord Natural Reserve to the north, will function as an extension of the Reserve’s living resources to the York School campus to the south.

Young Writers’ CornerAn anthropologist makes a gruesome discovery and confronts his own

fears and beliefs. Part I appeared in the Nov. 4 issue of Cedar Street Times.

The Jungles of ThailandPart II

by Lauren Dykman

The three men packed up and left camp at dawn, walking single-file through narrow footpaths. In the daylight, the forest lost its sinister energy and resounded with light and song. Angelo wondered how he could have ever believed such an illusion as the one he had seen the previous night.

The anthropological mission reached the cave at noon. It was an impres-sive cave, gaping out of a vine-mangled cliff, expelling stale earthy air from its throat. The world grew cold in its shadow. As their footsteps in the ashy dirt reverberated down the cave mouth, Angelo noticed Tarrin stop in his tracks and listen. Caesar looked back too, and called to the native some word that Angelo assumed meant “what’s wrong?” Tarrin’s brow furrowed and he loudly shouted an explanation and backed away. Caesar ran back up toward the light and held Tarrin’s forearm, talking soothingly. Then the two got in a heated debate, after which Tarrin, casting one last panicked glance into the depths of the cavern, ran away. Caesar descended back to Angelo, shaking his head.

“Tarrin will wait for us away from the cave.”“Why won’t he come down?” Angelo implored, disguising his fear as

annoyance. Caesar gave Angelo a knowing look. “There are evil spirits here.” Then

he punched Angelo’s shoulder playfully, “Not like either of us believe in those right?”

Deeper in the cave, a winding passageway turned away from the light and led them deeper into the intestines of the earth. With torches flaring, the two anthropologists navigated the eerie pools, dusty floors, and fang-like stalactites. “This is really beautiful,” breathed Caesar.

Beyond a tight squeeze, Angelo could tell the tunnel widened into a larger room. They slid through the squeeze one at a time and pulled their backpacks through after them. And then Caesar’s light played over the white mound of a skull. With a gasp he illuminated the cavern...and discovered the floor strewn with hundreds of skeletons. Bones jutted from the ashen sand like bleached driftwood on a beach, skulls dotted the earth like smooth pebbles in a creek.

“My God, My God!” celebrated Caesar. “It’s beautiful! Gorgeous! What a discovery! Do you know what this means for us?” Caesar held Angelo’s shoulders and shook him. Angelo’s gaze lingered on the remains. He identi-fied children with cracked skulls, some adults curled in fetal position, along-side numerous species of monkeys. “An ancient mass-human-sacrifice.” whispered Angelo.

“Oh man, we’re gonna have to call in back-up!” yelled Caesar. His voice rebounded off the cavern walls. “Here, start exploring,” he shoved his backpack at Angelo, “I’ll grab the rest of our equipment. We need to pull out the big-guns, so to speak,” and he sprinted from the burial ground to cart down the necessary excavation tools. Angelo waited for the foot steps and their echos to die away, then sat down cross-legged on his small ledge. Myriad eye sockets watched him imploringly, disturbed from their centu-ries of slumber. With a deep breath Angelo gave his torch a tight squeeze, then turned it off. The darkness was more complete than it ever was in the nighttime forest. Angelo stilled his breathing and heart beat and listened. He could hear whispers in strange tongues, subtle, rasping voices and quiet rustling in the far reaches of the cavern. The air was cold with whispers of haunted breaths on his skin and permeated with suffering and denial. He felt all around him a failed struggle for life, not yet given up.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, and his echos joined the whispers of the spirits.

He walked out of the cave, through the labyrinths of tunnels and ran into an elated Caesar.

Caesar noticed Angelo’s solemn face and asked if he felt alright. “Anthropological sites have never bothered me before,” Angelo an-

swered, “but this one does. I’m going to wait outside for a while.”“You’ll come back and help me later though, right?”“Yes, I will return.”

Months later, the excavation site lay empty. Hordes of experts had traipsed into the jungle to the cave of spirits, and carted off its jealous re-mains.

As the last bones caught their flight to England for analysis, Angelo, the most celebrated anthropologist of the year, took his last walk alone in the forests of Thailand. The very next day he would catch his own flight back to England, leaving what had been his home for the last nine months . His foot-steps softly plodded in the rich soil while the birds and mosquitos sang him a farewell lullaby. A small leap caught his eye, and he watched a tree frog make its way from plant to plant. One jump brought him to a leaf on which Angelo saw the small body of a dead insect. From its dried exoskeleton sprouted pure white minuscule mushrooms, curving from the victim like the necks of swans. As Angelo observed this Cordyceps fungus and the corpse that nourished it, he wondered at the mysterious dance between birth and rot, and the nebulous line between life and death in these haunted forests.

More Great Courses AvailableThanks to a generous grant from the Friends of the Library, the P.G. Public Li-

brary has recently acquired twenty-seven new titles from the popular “Great Courses” lecture series.

These courses, spread through a variety of genres, with some lectures covering more than one genre, include: Art: “How to Look at and Understand Great Art”; “World’s Greatest Paintings”; “Mu-seum Masterpieces: the National Gallery”; Math and Science: “Stress & Your Body”; “Biology and Human Behavior”; “The Joy of Mathematics”; “Einstein’s Relativity and the Quantum Revolution”; “Mathematics: Precalculus and Trigonometry”; “Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear”; “Expe-riencing Hubble”; “Physics and our Universe: How It all Works”History, Philosophy, and Religion: “History of the United States”; “American Civil War”; “Great Minds of the Eastern Intellectual Tradition”; “Modern Intellectual Tradi-tion: from Descartes to Derrida”; “Holy Land Revealed”; “Old Testament”Architecture: “Understanding the World’s Greatest Structures”Literature: “Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition”; “Building Great Sen-tences”Music: “How to Listen to and Understand Great Music”; “Music of Richard Wagner”Business and Professions: “Art of Public Speaking”; “Art of Teaching”; “Games People Play: Game Theory in Life, Business and Beyond”Lifestyle: “Everyday Guide to Wine”; “Nutrition Made Clear”

If you haven’t yet checked out a Great Courses lecture, you’ll undoubtedly find a title in this new list that piques your interest. Remember, the Great Courses company searches not only for professors who are eminent in the field, but who also are gifted lecturers. While you may be skeptical as to whether anyone can actually make calcu-lus “clear,” you might be pleasantly surprised by how accessible these lectures are. Also, don’t think of the lectures as something you alone might enjoy. For example, the “Everyday Guide to Wine” lecture series cries out for a group of people to meet on a regular basis to watch the lectures and sample the suggested wines.

When the Chautaugua circuit was active and when Andrew Carnegie donated the money for the Pacific Grove Public Library, both Chautaugua and public libraries were considered the “people’s universities.” Thankfully, higher education is now available to a greater percentage of the populace, but for those who wish to learn a subject in depth without enrolling in a college or whose time constrains them to learning at their own pace, these lectures are an excellent, enjoyable means to greater understanding of our world.

Donations to Purchase Even More Great CoursesInspired by the generosity of the Friends of the Library, an anonymous donor

has donated a significant amount to serve as a challenge to PG Library patrons. The challenge is this: if a patron donates money to purchase a Great Courses lecture the library does not have, that patron may also choose an additional Great Courses lecture the library needs, to be purchased using funds from the anonymous donor. In other words, donate the money for one course, and you can choose another course that will be purchased for the library from the donor’s fund. Both the donated course and the chosen course must be ones the library wishes to own to qualify for this matching grant. Also, since each of the Great Courses titles goes on sale at least once a year, the donor has requested the “matching” courses be purchased at the sales price to allow more courses to be purchased with the donated funds. The donor can either choose to donate at the regular price (which will allow the course to be purchased promptly even if it is not on sale) or at the sales price which might result in a delay of the purchase of the course until the course goes on sale.

The Great Courses offers approximately 390 courses in DVD and/or audio CD format. Even with the influx of courses from the Friends of the Library, the PG Library’s holdings are fewer than 60 courses. So there are many courses the library still needs.

Hurry, the donated funds, while generous, are limited and the matching offer will expire when the donor’s funds have been accounted for. See Reference Librarian Mary Elturk for further details.

“Jack London” to Speak at Library on November 17According to the National Endowments for the Arts “The Big Read” web site, “The

Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, designed to restore reading to the center of American culture. . . [The Big Read] provides citizens with the opportunity to read and discuss a single book within their communities.” The Big Read for Monterey County this month is “Call of the Wild” by California writer and adventurer, Jack London.

As part of the PG celebration of The Big Read, actor Taelen Thomas will appear in character as “Jack London” at the PG library on Thurs., Nov. 17 at 7:30. Accompany-ing him will be a registered therapy dog (who may or may not be named “Buck” as is the protagonist in “Call of the Wild”).

“Call of the Wild,” the most read of Jack London’s works and considered by some to be his best work, is an easily accessible novel, often assigned as reading for junior high school classes. But, if you haven’t already read it, don’t be put off by its acces-sibility―it’s a real adventure tale!

While you’re encouraged to read “Call of the Wild” before the event, whether you have or not, you’re sure to enjoy spending time with “Jack London” and his dog. This event will be a great family activity, so mark your calendars now.

Poetry and Art ExhibitNow appearing at the PG Library is a special exhibit of poetry and art, “I Read the

News Today, Oh Boy.” The project began when the Poet Laureate of Benicia, Ronna Leon, paired a poet with a visual artist. Each poet and artist then chose a news article and responded to the news article with their chosen medium, whether poetry or art. PG’s own Poet-in-Residence, Dr. Barbara Mossberg, was one of the poets honored by being chosen to participate. The result is an intriguing show which, through the efforts of Head Librarian Lisa Maddelana, has now travelled from Benicia to Pacific Grove.

Of course the exhibit is especially engaging to those attendees who are interested in art and poetry, but it’s also interesting as an example of how imagination can work differently from person to person. While imagination is used extensively in the arts, it is also a crucial component of everyday life. Sometimes just making it through the week while staying within a budget requires imagination. This exhibit shows the power of imagination to create something from the most ordinary stimuli. Make a point to see it when you’re in the library next.

The Big Sur Land Trust announced the opening of the South Bank Trail, a 1.5 mile long ADA accessible pedestrian and bicycle path located on the south side of the Carmel River between the area near Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley and Palo Corona Regional Park. A $1.2 million grant from the California Resources Agency River Parkways Program (Proposition 50) funded construc-tion of the public trail which will be completed by Oct. 21. The Land Trust also collaborated with the County of Monterey, which secured a grant to design the trail. The trail features both scenic inland and river views and provides an accessible alternative route to Palo Corona Regional Park. The South Bank Trail is part of a larger community-based vision for integrated planning of trails, parklands, restored natural areas and education sites in the Carmel River region.

The South Bank Trail begins at the intersection of Rancho San Carlos Road and Valley Greens Drive in Carmel Valley. The trail starts on an existing paved private farm road and heads west, meandering off road onto a newly built GraniteCrete pathway that includes a beautiful view of the Carmel River, native vegetation, and a gentle grade that makes for an easy walk or bike ride. The trail gently climbs onto pasture land where it eventually meets the boundary of Palo Corona Regional Park.

In 2010 The Big Sur Land Trust purchased a trail easement from Jeff and Paula Taylor who own the Car-mel Valley property on which the GraniteCrete portion of the South Bank Trail was constructed. The Land Trust contracted with Enz Construction of Hollister to build the trail working with GraniteCrete, a Carmel Valley com-pany that produces a natural, environmentally-friendly trail material similar in look to decomposed granite. The County of Monterey secured local, state and federal grant funding to design the trail and cover permitting costs. Quail Lodge, Inc. donated an easement on the paved farm road portion of the trail to allow for public access from Rancho San Carlos Road.

The South Bank Trail is open to everyone for walk-ing and cycling; horses and horseback riding are not permitted. Dogs are allowed on leash and a dog mitt dispenser is provided on the trail so owners may clean up after their pets.

The South Bank Trail project includes a small park-ing lot constructed on Rancho San Carlos Road. Up to 6 cars can be accommodated and a short path has been built leading from the parking lot to the South Bank trailhead.

Other trail amenities include two benches, one situated with a view of the river, the other located at the west end of the trail. The GraniteCrete portion of the trail has been landscaped and seeded with native grasses, and over 100 native willows, sycamores, and cottonwoods will be planted alongside the trail. A new gate entrance on the farm road has been framed with Carmel Stone donated by the Santa Lucia Conservancy.

While no permit is required to use the South Bank Trail, a use permit is required to pass through the trail’s west gate into Palo Corona Regional Park. The public may obtain a permit from the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (call 831-372-3196, or go to www.mprpd.org). The Park District and Big Sur Land Trust collabo-rated earlier this year on road and trail improvements at the park, installing over 4 miles of new trails on the front portion of the ranch. The South Bank Trail connects up with that trail system.

“The Interim Access Plan for Palo Corona Regional Park approved by the County of Monterey allows the Dis-trict to offer additional permits to accommodate public use resulting from the South Bank Trail,” said Jim Sulentich, General Manager of the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District. “Hikers can now request permits to access the Front Ranch of Palo Corona Regional Park from either the South Bank Trail or Main Gate at Highway 1.”

Palo Corona Regional Park is open dawn to dusk; no dogs, horses or bicycles are allowed inside the park. A bike rack is provided at the terminus of the South Bank Trail so that those entering the park can safely leave their bikes behind for later pick up.

Visitors to Palo Corona Regional Park will also be treated to a series of new interpretive panels paid for by the Land Trust as part of the River Parkways Program grant. The Land Trust selected Leslie Stone and Associates to develop the storyboard for the panels and fabricate them. Four panels have been placed in Palo Corona Regional Park, one along the South Bank Trail and five others located in the new 32-acre De Dampierre River Trails

Park located near Carmel Valley Village. The interpretive panels include stories about the native peoples who lived along the Carmel River, the generations of farmers who cultivated the river floodplain, and the animals and plants that today depend on the river and associated river lands for their survival.

Beginning in 2004, The Big Sur Land Trust has been leading efforts with a diverse group of partner agencies, organizations and community members to build a com-prehensive and collaborative approach to protecting and restoring the Carmel River and inspiring local community involvement. Based on a Vision Plan completed in 2005, Experience Carmel River is a vibrant, community-based program of public trails, educational sites and restored river front areas to safeguard the Carmel River into the future. Through the efforts of The Big Sur Land Trust and its key partners, a number of the program’s important goals have been reached. For example, the Land Trust has restored and completed trail work at the 32-acre De Dampierre River Trails Park property it acquired in 2006 near Carmel Valley Village and Garland Park and plans to transfer the land to the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District this year. The Land Trust is restoring a 13-acre riverfront property it acquired in 2007 at Schulte Road in Carmel Valley called the Songbird Preserve. In 2009 the Land Trust completed a land acquisition deal just west of Rancho San Carlos Road and Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley that included a conservation easement protecting approximately 10 acres of important Carmel River habitat, and the purchase of a 3-acre property for future use as a river education center. And last Fall the Land Trust and agency partners completed the Hatton Trail at the mouth of Carmel Valley parallel to and East of Highway One.

Founded in 1978, the mission of The Big Sur Land Trust is to conserve the significant lands and waters of California’s Central Coast for all generations. In col-laboration with partners and the community, the Land Trust has protected more than 30,000 acres of land since its inception. The organization is committed to pursuing land and water conservation work that strengthens and our communities and inspires a stewardship ethic so that Monterey County can maintain its unique and special place in the world. The goal and commitment of the Land Trust is to pursue resource conservation that supports the well being of land and people and sustains our region’s unique quality of life for us all.

Book ReviewWhatever Lola wants, Lola goes to get

Little Lola, Nancy Shammas’ 30-pound terrier mix, is an intrepid dog. She gave her owner of nine years quite a scare recently when she decided to go on an adventure vacation all by herself and didn’t come home for two weeks.

Lola’s adventure began when Nancy’s boyfriend, Allen Bubar, took her for a ride in his truck to Santa Lucia Preserve. He left her in the open truck for 15 minutes, but when he returned, Lola was nowhere to be found. She had opened the window between the camper and the cab and hopped out.

Some helpful people who saw the escape tried to get her back, but it didn’t go very well – Lola, tags and all, took off.

Allen tried most of the afternoon to find her, but when he heard coyotes and a single, frightened “yelp!” he feared the worst. He came back and told Nancy that he feared Lola had become coyote dinner.

That was October 19.Over the next week and a half, they went out to Santa Lucia periodi-

cally, with no evidence of Lola or coyotes. Then the day arrived when some neighbors said they’d seen her. Nancy went out that Saturday with friends, but no Lola. Nancy got a trail map and that night mapped out potential sites they’d cover. Sure enough, on Sunday she saw Lola but Lola wasn’t ready to come home yet and skittered away.

“I read somewhere that I should pack chicken to entice her and just be calm,” said Nancy. So they made picnics of chicken for the next few days, but Lola was apparently not hungry enough to check out the lunch.

But by Wednesday, Nov. 2, she finally tired of camping out and when Allen whistled for her one last time, she came running.

“She was pretty dirty,” said Nancy. “A little extra sleepy and she drank a lot of water.” There’s also a tiny scar she didn’t have before, and she’d lost six pounds, but she’s home and safe as if nothing ever happened. And wherever Lola was, she’s not talking.

Left, Allen Bubar with a dirty, tired and thirsty Lola who escaped from his truck and spent two weeks in the wilderness. Below, all cleaned up and sportng a new scar, Lola settles down for a long nap.

How to say “I love you” in 9 characters or less

Kathleen Barbier is a successful wealth management consultant from Pebble Beach whose business is focused on helping women who have undergone sudden loss. A widow herself, Kathleen noticed that a lot of people in this modern, fast-paced world are having difficulties keeping their relationships fresh and not only that, even with instant communication, don't know what to say.

Limited by the number of characters in a tweet or a text message, how do we let someone know we're thinking about them? “We don't know how to keep it short and sweet,” she said. Given the need to get a message across that someone will read on the run, what can you say to make them glow for the rest of the day? “Maybe we don't even know what to say in the first place,” she adds, well aware that many are entering the electronic world for the first time. Or even entering the relationship world anew.

She is compassionate and passionate. Wanting to help her friends and clients keep pace with electronic world while still being warm and even romantic, Kathleen came up with the idea for a handbook for communication. Her first book, Sweety Mail (SMs) in a Wigged-Out World, offers 75 sample “Sweety Mail” messages to help writers get a short, sweet message across, even if one is new to the e-mail world. Her follow-up book, Sweety Tweets in a Fast-Paced World, tells readers “how to stay connected in 120 characters or less.”

During our conversation, we shared a quote that Hallmark Cards used to put on their store bags: “A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.” [Samuel Johnson, English author, critic, & lexicographer (1709 – 1784)]

Kathleen Barbier believes we need to keep our communication lines open and our friendships and relationships in constant repair. She categorizes the messages for us.

Have to postpone a coffee date? Try Sweety Tweet #50: “Have to backstop someone at work. Next week?” and she even gives the number of characters: 45.

Want to apologize for an argument this morning? Try Sweety Mail #6 (Conflict Recovery): “Dinner out or dog house in?” (6 words).

Kathleen Barbier's slim and light-hearted volumes are available on Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Sweety+Mail&x=0&y=0

PacRep’s ‘Words on Stage’ presentsSpirit and Wilderness

How do you celebrate your own connection with the earth? And how do you experience the wildness in all creation? And how do you witness the Divine Spirit alive in all of nature?

Birth of The Cool:Something Cool Trio

at The Alternative Café“So that was during the time I spent in Tennessee when I used to hitchhike

across the country,” explains the elderly man next to me sporting a circular, brown-rimmed hat along with what appears to be a green, pinstriped shirt. Yes,

it is definitely green. Tonight at the Alternative Café in Seaside, the “jazz & beyond” music of the Something Cool Trio evidently attracts an audience with a wealth of life experience, and suitably, since pianist/vocalist Bill Minor has traveled the world and will sing songs in English, Greek, Italian, and Russian. Along with Minor this evening are his band mates Jenn Schaaf on drums and Heath Proskin on upright bass.

Pushing aside the black curtain from backstage, the trio picks up their in-struments and starts off their set with a Thelonious Monk standard called “Ask Me Now.” This song demonstrates how the Alternative Café’s acoustics are perfect for a jazz combo, in that you can hear Schaaf playing brushes without needing to mic her snare. Being a drummer, I know one of the hardest parts of jazz drumming is brush technique, and Schaaf gracefully shows the audience just how it’s done by never letting a moment go untouched by the gentle glide of her fluid hands.

An interesting aspect of the Something Cool Trio is Minor’s experiments in combining his original poetry with backing music, which acts as a soundtrack to the story. As he begins to recite his poem “My Father’s Things,” the music ap-propriately follows. Minor shares a deep emotion from his personal life with the audience as he conveys a story of how his father lost his memory with age, and how he could no longer recognize his own son. Minor moves on with the story, elaborating on how his father never used to sing, but one day when his mother was playing piano, his father miraculously burst into song. Minor knew then that his father’s true love for his mother had persisted despite his loss of memory.

While living in communist Russia, illegally listening to black-market jazz records, Minor became fluent in the native language, and brought it back to the Alternative Café for us tonight. Schaaf turns off her snare and hits the drums with mallets as band kicks off a Russian waltz. This tune shows how Proskin on bass is the glue between the drums and piano. By locking in rhythmically with Schaaf and working out melodic progressions with Minor, Proskin proves that a tight jazz combo operates through individual feats of musicianship as well as a keen sense of communication.

Minor hypes up the next song as “the most beautiful love song ever writ-ten.” It’s “Creep” by Radiohead, a favorite cover I’ve heard artists such as Yann Brown and Angels In the Alps perform in their own interpretations. Something Cool Trio also took the song and made it their own, keeping the original melan-choly energy of the verses, but changing up the chorus drastically. Rather than a rude, distorted guitar bleeding into a belting chorus like Radiohead, a piano pickup leads to an upbeat, swing chorus, in which Minor’s vocals resemble a mixture of Willie Nelson and Randy Newman. Thus, I think we can agree that they made it their own.

After taking the audience on an adventure around the world, reciting a poem in Greek and singing a love song in Italian, Minor takes us south to Brazil by performing the Stan Getz and João Gilberto classic “The Girl From Ipanema.” Schaaf tightens her brushes and once again demonstrates her precise control, turning off the snare to enhance the relaxed, Latin feel of the song. As Proskin drops out on the bass, Minor picks up a small conga drum and begins a percussion feature with Schaaf, coordinating dynamics together to give the duet movement in not only volume, but also intensity. When the torrent of percussive juices is finished and the audience reality checks back in to Seaside, California, the performance is met with a magnanimous applause.

So what is “cool” to you? Does being cool mean being the most popular kid at school? Does being cool mean doing what everybody else is doing? To me, being cool is doing what you want to do and expressing yourself the way you naturally feel. Tonight, the Something Cool Trio was just that, cool. Not only did they express themselves, they expressed themselves in four different languages, in song and poetry, and through an assortment of musical genres that will surely please your ears.

A common faultand what to do about it

I just returned from the No Calif Fall Golf Expo and had the great op-portunity to meet Masters Champion, Craig Stadler.. Craig and I were the guest speakers at the golf show. I also gave over 75 individual lessons in the PGA free lesson area and I noticed one common area that many of the players had trouble with. When many of the golfers made their back swing they pulled the club around their body in a circular motion. When the shaft of the club was behind them which is what we call a FLAT swing they were in trouble. The club face was closed when the club was so far behind them and problems can surely start from there.

Here is a good tip not to come so far behind you on your back swing. Find a wall, maybe your garage door. Stand next to the door with your back side touching the door and facing away from the door. Now make a few short back-swings and make sure you DO NOT hit the door.

It will feel like a steeper swing but it keeps the club face square. Try it.

Wellness EmpowermentRhonda M. Farrah, M.A.

Love is not like something material, for what is given does not lessen the store of what remains. The more we give, the more we have to give. If we love one per-son more, that does not imply that we love others less. All our love, in fact, is nothing more than trying with the whole of our facilities to realize in human experience the intimacy which lies hidden between all of us. -Dom Aelred Watkin

As human beings, we operate daily reflecting a wide range of emotions with a multitude of motivations fueling our behaviors. All too often, we react emotion-ally to what others say or do. If our reac-tions are preceded by the emotions of fear, anger, or sadness, we forfeit our ability to act with personal power and effectiveness in lieu of a knee-jerk response.

This reaction is all too often sourced in fear and low self-esteem.

We may focus on what’s wrong with us and our lives or fear being controlled, hurt, or taken advantage of. We may over-look the many things we have in our lives for which we should rightly be grateful. When we doubt our ability to thrive and access the abundance we see all around us in the world, we react instead from the concern of scarcity and the expectation of failure, hurt, and disappointment. We may see ourselves in competition for the world’s resources and the love and atten-tion of others rather than realizing that there is more than enough of all that is good to go around. We forget that we mani-fest what we expect rather than needing to compete for limited resources.

Whenever we forget that we are mag-nificent beings and that there is plenty of wealth, happiness, fun, and fulfillment to go around, we might feel the need to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be a dangerous world. We likewise tend to forget that others operate from the same lacking self-confidence, scarcity of grati-tude, and deficient self-love that we often do. So, whenever two or more individuals see themselves as not good enough to tap into the world’s abundance and get all their needs met from a physical, social, men-tal, and emotional perspective, conflicts are likely to arise. The result is broken relationships, strained communication, emotional pain, struggle, and suffering. All of these are needless and optional for those who realize their ability to detach from the struggle and master their emo-tional response.

When we stop to realize that everyone else suffers from the same self-doubt and fear of being dominated and cheated out of getting their fair share of love, fun, money, possessions, and security, we can break the vicious cycle of endless competition

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving…throughout the yearAre you acting from Love, Gratitude, & Thankfulness…or hanging out in that fear & doubt place?

and continual striving for domination. We can realize that cooperation and com-munication is more effective in producing harmony than competition and a focus on self-interest based on fear. We can in-tentionally choose to trust that others are doing the best they know how to do based upon how they see the world. We can as-sume that they act from good intentions, even when we fear the opposite.

Whenever we forget that we are magnificent beings and that there is plenty of wealth, happiness, fun, and fulfillment to go around, we might feel the need to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be a dangerous world.

We can hold them as worthy, com-petent, loving, good natured and capable of creating win-win relationships rather than fearing them as hateful, ill meaning, incompetent, unworthy, selfish opponents.

When we decide to champion others by looking for the best in them and interact with them out of an attitude of gratitude for their gifts, strengths, and positive qualities, in such as manner that they are clear that we hold them as intrinsically good and worthy of our love and respect, we provide for them a new and exciting opportunity for them to show up for us in this manner. Our decision to hold others as great (because they really are when we strip away their anger, fears, and insecuri-ties) allows them the freedom to rise to our expectations. By operating from love and gratitude for the wisdom and empathy we develop as a result of our interactions with others, we see their mistakes as temporary indiscretions producing valuable lessons from which to learn and grow rather than reflections of a fundamentally defective being.

The key to bringing out the best in others is non-attachment. When we real-ize that we have total control over our re-sponse to any situation, and we give up our right to be invalidated by others or control

them, we will possess a newfound freedom that allows us to exit the drama of conflict in favor of understanding, compassion, and love. Decide now to be grateful for the challenges you will encounter in your life and business. See the problems that arise as opportunities for your personal development. Look for these challenges as you go about your day, be grateful when you encounter them, and seek out the gifts awaiting your discovery.

Try this…Exercise for Expanding Gratitude and Shifting Your Reactive Nature

1. List all the things you have decided to be grateful for in your life and business.

2. In your daily journal, record each time you fail to express gratitude for a challenging situation.

3. Catch yourself reacting emotion-ally to what someone says or does and shift your perception in that moment to appreciate the learning experience at hand.

4. In your daily life and business, who are you not holding as magnificent?

5. How can you champion their excellence and express gratitude for the opportunity to grow in love and wisdom that they are gifting you instead of reacting with anger, sadness, or fear?

6. Who are you seeking to control or avoid being controlled by?

Will you take on the practice of non-attachment in your relationship with them by creating space for them to be who they are? I invite you to do this for 30 days and write down how your interactions with them evolve.

And…Remember…Have a tremen-dously Magnificent and Successful day…Everyday!

With Love & Blessings!Rhonda

The other day I had the privilege of meeting and enjoying some wine and stuffed mushrooms with George Herbert and his girl friend Ashley Rogers. I first noticed the mushrooms on his Facebook page. I knew then that I had to have them, it looked so good.

George has come up with some great recipes. He is not a trained chef but he is a self-taught cook that has a lot of creativ-ity. He showed me some pictures of other dishes that he has made and they look delicious. George has made dishes from donuts to ribs to cookies to pies to pork chops to seafood to even Korean BBQ. He has a great talent and it shows in the food he makes. The home cooks these days are amazing.

My thing is that I love pairing food with wine. Food and wine by itself is great but when you get the right combination, it’s amazing! I see food and automatically think of wines to pair it with. So when we met, I wanted to try four varietals to pair the stuffed mushrooms with: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and a Syrah. We added a bit of Chardonnay to one, then some Pinot Noir to the other and so on… Then the taste testing began. This is my favorite part. We tried the Chardonnay with the first one then the Pinot Noir, the Tempranillo, and finally the Syrah. The pairings got better as we went along. And in the end the Syrah was the best match. We all looked at each other and the confir-mation was in our eyes and mouths. That was the ticket.

So why did I choose the four varietals you ask? I thought the Chardonnay would go nicely with the Bleu cheese. As for the Pinot Noir, I was hoping to pick up the silkiness of the mushroom. With the Tempranillo, I wanted to pair the earthy undertones. However, the Syrah didn’t just pick up one component; it picked up all the elements. The white pepper notes matched nicely with the Bleu cheese, the earthy smoky undertones paired very well with the mushroom and the hint of bacon fat went amazingly well with the bacon. Try this one and see for yourself. Your mouth will thank you for it.

Stuffed mushroomsServes four people

8 large portabella mushrooms, rinsed and dried, remove and finely chop stems and clean out caps.8 slices thick cut smoked pepper bacon (try to find a good quality bacon with as little fat as possible).1 cup crumbled bleu cheese.1/2 medium size scallion, chopped very fine.1 clove garlic, minced.1/4-cup fine seasoned bread crumbs.1 tsp fresh course ground black pepper.1/2-cup butter, melted.1 cup SyrahBlue Cheese dressingNote: Salt to taste. The bacon and sea-soned breadcrumbs should already have enough.

1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until cooked half way (they need to still be able to wrap around mushroom). Drain, and set aside. 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 3. Lay mushroom cap upside down on top of slice of bacon. Wrap bacon evenly over cap and tuck inside cap, trim bacon to fit until it just touches inside bottom of cap (leave room for filling). 4. Place bacon wrapped caps in large muffin tin. 5. In a medium bowl, stir together the stems, scallions, minced garlic, bread-crumbs, black pepper and bleu cheese. Mix well and scoop the mixture into the mushroom caps. Fill to about a half inch above cap and as densely as possible. This will keep bacon in place.6. Drizzle melted butter and Syrah over mushrooms and bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. 7. Remove the mushrooms from the oven, and serve immediately with blue cheese dressing.

pairing soon. It will be a five course pair-ing. Please check out the website for more info: www.ottercovewines.com

Editor, We are pleased to see student features,

articles, and opinions printed in the Cedar Street Times. In an effort to make sure that all of the facts and viewpoints are brought out, we wanted to make some clarifications regarding the article titled, “Promises Made, not Kept” in our latest edition of the PG High School Knockout. In essence, the author is concerned that the buildings have not been completed on time and that fault lies at the feet of our general contrac-tor, DMC. Construction at the level being conducted at Pacific Grove High School is an extremely complicated process that depends on the coordination of hundreds of people, dozens of businesses, and the cooperation of our weather. When time-lines are set they are, at best, an estimate of completion times. DMC has been very diligent in keeping PGUSD apprised of progress and has done an amazing job of dealing with some of the unforeseen problems that have come up along the way. At the same time, some issues are simply beyond their control such as the weather or the economy.

Because we want to wisely spend bond money, and have the least amount of disruption to our students, we have

placed many constraints on DMC as far as these projects are concerned and they have accommodated us in every way they can. We have requested certain buildings be completed ahead of others so that stu-dents’ needs are accommodated in the best way. Unfortunately, that means that other aspects of the projects are delayed. It is un-fortunate that some of the areas that have been pushed back are some of those that the students most want completed early.

We have been blessed with a very supportive community that has seen fit to pass Measure D to fund the very vis-ible projects such as the stadium, middle school eating area and music room as well as the less visible projects such as the high school and middle school science upgrades, lighting and electrical upgrades, and computer infrastructure. We have been pleased with our relationship with DMC and the progress they have made. As with anything of this nature, we all wish things would happen more quickly, but we are confident that everything that could be done to accomplish these projects in a timely manner has been done.

Editor:Monterey County’s Planning Admin-

istration did the right thing in disallowing the development of “fracking” wells for removal of oil and natural gas in South County.

Residents were protected from the documented tremendous damage to the groundwater, air, soil and public health that occurs everywhere fracture-drilling is established in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Another opportunity to protect those same vital interests for county residents comes before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Nov. 15, when a non-binding resolution addressed to Gov. Brown asks him to stop the use of deadly methyl iodide as an agricultural soil fumigant and to require re-examination by an Independent Scientific Review panel who unanimously warned against this chemical but were completely discounted by the Department of Pesticide Regulation in 2010.

Field workers, adjacent schools and homes, businesses, run-off water and rain, fields neighboring fumigated areas [mostly

strawberry acreage] will all be affected by this highly soluble, highly toxic pesticide. Initial symptoms of contact with methyl iodide include neurological problems (headache, dizziness), skin rashes, re-spiratory problems and nausea. But this chemical is linked to major reproductive problems ranging from low sperm count to fetal deformities, miscarriages and premature births. Monterey County’s public health services and schools would bear increased burdens that could include Workers Compensation cases; humans and animals would suffer incapacity, and the huge agricultural richness of Monterey County could be tainted by the reputation of this chemical which is banned in numer-ous countries.

Check www.pesticidewatch.org for more details, then contact your county-supervisor to tell them how you feel about this issue.

The Butterfly Effect in Butterfly TownVote or be quiet

The voters of Pacific Grove have spoken. Sadly, only 2,833 of them had anything to say. That's the num-

ber of people who voted on Measure U. Add another 720, probably from Pebble Beach, and you get the number of of people who voted on Measure V. Another 424, likely Carmel voters in Water District 4, voted in the race between Jeanne Byrne and Regina Doyle.

There are 9,019 registered voters in Pacific Grove, so that means that 31.41 percent voted on Measure U. There are 12,679 registered voters in District 4 of the Water Management Board, of which 31.36 percent voted for their representatives. Of the 10,855 voters in the Pa-cific Grove Unified School District, 32.73 percent voted on the parcel tax measure.

Still, that's a better percentage than some areas, and beats the heck out of those people we saw interviewed on the television news last night who didn't even know there was an election.

Yes, it was an off-year election. Yes, we're all busy. But people in Syria, Tunisia, Libya,Yemen and other places are literally dying for the right to make up their own minds about how they are governed, and we’re born with the right to do so.

These were important issues and an important race, which will determine your lifestyle for a number of years to come. Think of ripples in a pond. The Butterfly Effect in Butterfly Town. Remember that, if just one person in each precinct across the nation had changed their vote, Richard M. Nixon would have been elected president in-stead of John F. Kennedy in 1960.

"Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."

Five years have passed since the Academy Award-winning film, An In-convenient Truth, premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The movie was inspired by the work of environmental ad-vocate and former Vice President Al Gore, who created a comprehensive slide show to educate citizens about global warming, and by his own estimate, has shown it more than a thousand times.

Arguments have ensued for years about Gore’s research, with proponents of big oil and other industries denying its accuracy and validity as scientists weighed the evidence.

Now even the skeptics are acknowl-edging the reality of global warming and climate change.

Richard Muller, a prominent physicist and climate change skeptic, has completed a two-year study, with the intention of disproving Gore’s data. His research team examined two chief criticisms by skeptics. One is that weather stations are unreliable; the other is that cities, which create heat islands, are skewing temperature analysis.

Muller’s $600,000 study of world surface temperatures was partially funded by the Charles Koch Foundation, whose founder is a major funder of climate change naysayers and the Tea Party. Broth-ers Charles and David Koch run a large private company involved in oil and other industries that produce greenhouse gases.

In the end, Muller concluded global

Climate change becomes undeniable

Not what you might picture as a result of global warming, but evidence of climate change all the same.

temperatures are indeed rising, and rising rapidly.

The study found that poor weather station quality was not a factor, because increased temperature readings were pro-portionate between reliable and unreliable stations. In addition, Muller found there is

a heat island effect around large cities. But rural areas, which are more abundant, are still becoming warmer.

Maintaining that he came into the study “with a proper skepticism,” Muller wrote in the Wall Street Journal that there is no more reason to doubt that tempera-

tures are steadily increasing. Muller’s study did not address ocean warming or the causes of global warming, its future, or the degree of threat to mankind. However, he stated in the Journal’s editorial pages that it makes sense to reduce carbon diox-ide created by the burning of fossil fuels.

“Greenhouse gases could have a disastrous impact on the world,” said Muller, but contends that danger is not yet proven to the degree claimed by the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The results of Muller’s study place him in the unenviable position of being considered a traitor by some in the skeptic community. Meanwhile, climate scientists hearing the results gave lukewarm reac-tions, saying they have known these things all along.

Muller was scheduled to bring his findings, unpublished and not yet peer-reviewed, to a conference in Sante Fe, Mew Mexico where prominent skeptics and mainstream scientists will convene on the topic. Organizer Petr Chylek said Muller will be welcome. “The purpose of our conference is to bring people with dif-ferent views on climate together, so they can talk and clarify things.”

Climate scientists insist global warm-ing is a by-product of the Industrial Age: a result of man-made pollution, with burning of coal and oil, destruction of rain forests, chemicals dumped in the groundwater, insecticide use, overfishing, and degrading of soil by massive farming all contributing to the problem.

NOAA Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Access Monterey Peninsula (AMP) Public Television have collaborated to produce a new television series entitled Your Sanctuary. The one-hour pilot episode will air on Monday, October 31, at 7:00 PM to initiate the 52-episode series. It will be available on Comcast channel 27, AT&T channel 99, and via streaming at ampmedia.org.

Your Sanctuary is about connecting people with their national marine sanc-tuaries. The program will also feature the local coastal communities and the businesses dependent upon a healthy ocean, as well as the many fascinating organizations and people involved in ocean relationships.

“There is so much to share about what marine sanctuaries are, and their value to coastal communities,” said Paul Michel, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Superintendent and host of the show. “We’ll explore fantastic animals and habitats, the sanctuary’s many com-mercial and recreational uses, amazing science and research occurring here and how we are all connected to the ocean through our activities and the watersheds in which we live.”

“The development of this program has really caught fire,” said Co-Executive Producer Steve Ellzey. “It grew from the kindling of a small group discussion into a blaze that involves partners from academia, ocean-research, hospitality and

agriculture.”Local scientists and business lead-

ers will appear on the show and discuss how their businesses and organizations are integrally tied to the nation’s largest national marine sanctuary. This forthcom-ing television show will connect our local community, as well as the larger broadcast area, with the wonders and prestigious marketing power of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Your Sanctuary will air several times weekly (Mondays 7:00 PM, Tuesdays 8:00 PM, Wednesdays 9:00 PM, Sundays 6:00 PM) on Comcast channel 27, AT&T chan-nel 99, and streaming at ampmedia.org.

Monarch Alert’s Monarch Count

Monarchs continue to arrive at the major overwintering sites in Monterey County, and the numbers are on the rise. Erica Krygsman (Monarch Alert Field Coordinator for Monterey County) conducted this week’s monarch counts with the assistance of volunteer Kelly Surgalski on Nov. 3 and 4. Erica reports that on Thurs., Nov. 3, temperatures were warm and skies were clear with calm winds; on Friday, temperatures were cool with light winds and drizzle during the morning.

The average number of mon-archs counted at the Pacific Grove sanctuary was 7,409. The average number of monarchs counted at Andrew Molera State Park was 3,197 and at the private property site in Big Sur was 6,658. The only other site with clusters found was the southernmost site, Plaskett Creek Campground. Thanks to Kelly for volunteering this week, next counts are scheduled for Nov. 10 and 11.

- Jessica GriffithsThis number is higher than the

number of monarchs observed at the peak of last year’s overwinter-ing season. Museum monarch do-cents are in the sanctuary every day from 12 to 3, weather permitting.

Monarch Alert is funded in Monterey County in large part by Helen Johnson.
