Candidates’ Forum Brings Out Voters

An overflow crowd of mostly older people attended the recent candidates’ forum at the Community Center to hear the six candidates for three city council seats and two candidates for mayor answer questions from the audience.

Each candidate was given time for a brief statement, and then questions were asked. Each candidatem in rotating order, answered all the questions. Questions mostly concerned the city’s budget, the pension deficit, public works, downtown revitaliza-tion and the general administration of the city. There were three questions on water and small water projects.

While there were diverse ideas and suggestions, there were no big surprises forthcoming to those who have been paying attention to the race. The event was spon-sored by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Com-merce and the Neighborhood Association, with Cedar Street Times as media sponsor. The forum was mediated by the League of Women Voters.

A video recording of the event was taken, and should be available shortly. We will post information on Facebook and Twitter and on our website as soon as it is made public.

Rain at the end of the rainbow

An anonymous jogger captured a rainbow over the American Tin Cannery recently. Was the rainbow anticipating the light rain we experienced in the early morning hours of September 25? It was only .26 inches, but every drop is welcome.

You’re Invited to Dine Out With FriendsDuring the 40-day celebration of the Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library

40th anniversary from September 15 through October 25, an event is planned to em-phasize the relationship between the health and vitality of the community’s l ibrary and the health and vitality of local businesses.

Every Wednesday between September 15 and October 25 (that is, September 17 and 24, October 1, 8, 15, and 22) is a night to Dine Out With Friends. On each of these Wednesdays, a local restaurant will be highlighted. Community members will be en-couraged to eat a meal or enjoy a snack at the highlighted restaurant. Each restaurant will contribute a portion of its profits from that day to the Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library. Friends will give all of that money to the library.

Our library is special. Our local restaurants offer extraordinary quality. Save your Wednesdays to enjoy the latter and support the former.

More than 100 people from all over the Bay Area turned out to witness the unveiling of the new informational panel at the site of the Chinese Fishing Vil-lage near Hopkins Marine Station. The plaque is embedded in a boulder and stands next to the Rec Trail. It tells the story of the Chinese fishing village which once stood at the site, but was burned in the early part of the 20th century; the Chinese fishermen who lived there are credited with beginning the fishing industry in Monterey Bay.Gerry Low-Sabado, above in the front, is credited with bring awareness to the facts surrounding the Chinese fishing village. She is a fifth-generation descen-dent. Other descendents were also on hand, and took part in a tea ceremony which Low-Sabado said was a version her family celebrated. Also on hand were (L-R) Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe, Assemblymember Mark Stone, Congressman Sam Farr, Dr. Annie Holdren of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, Janet Cohen of the Pacific Grove Heritage Society, and Jeff Norman, designer of the plaque.

40 Days to a Healthier Life Style: The Daniel Plan Book Study

Mayflower Presbyterian Church is offering a 6-week study of the book The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life Style. The book is written by Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, and Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist. The study will assist participants to revolutionize their health as they began a journey to trans-form their life physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The Daniel Plan was designed to be done in a support group. When it comes to getting healthy, two are always better than one. Research has revealed that people getting healthy together lose twice as much weight as those who do it alone. The Daniel Plan shows attendees how the powerful combination of faith, fitness, food, focus, and friends will change their health forever, transforming them in the most head-turning way imaginably--from the inside out.Program Details:6 Wednesday meetingsFrom October 8- November 136:00 – 8 p.m.Mayflower Presbyterian Church141 14th Street, Pacific GroveFor more information, call 831-373-4705

Museum presents Science Saturday: Sea Otters

On Monday, September 15, 2014, at approximately 11:15 p.m., the Monterey Fire Department sent a crew to assist in fighting of the King Fire which is located in El Dorado County. The King Fire is burning in steep terrain in the South Fork of the American River Canyon and Silver Creek Canyon north of the community of Pollock Pines. The fire nearly tripled in size on Wednesday with a run of over 10 miles up the Rubicon Canyon towards Hell Hole Reservoir.

A 37-year-old man was arrested and charged with intentionally igniting the massive fire, which has burned 71,000 acres of Sierra foothills east of Placerville while send-ing up a cloud of smoke visible as far as the Bay Area. El Dorado County authorities took Wayne Allen Huntsman into custody Wednesday on suspicion of felony arson and jailed him in lieu of $10 million bail. Huntsman is a resident of Pollock Pines, a community in the heart of the fire area.

The fire comes amid 10 other major blazes in the state. With California’s landscape parched after three years of drought, officials are worried about a fiery fall and have stepped up campaigns for fire safety.

Re-Elect Mayor

Bill Kampe The six peninsula mayors are committed jointly to advance a water solution for our Peninsula. The pathways are difficult, with perils at every step. The solution includes several ele-ments including Aquifer Storage and Recovery, Ground Water Replenishment, and Desal. A desal plant is a very critical part, and the main source of future replacement water. In Pacific Grove, we have our own Local Water Project. In the first phase it will take waste water from the western portion of our city and treat it with new equipment at the old sewage plant on Point Pinos. That will provide irrigation water for our golf course, cemetery, and other parcels in that area. This alternate irrigation water is vital, because we are seeing very high costs for landscape use of potable water today, and we may be prohibited from using it in the future. Our LWP will be online before the state deadline and be the first of the new water projects on the peninsula in operation. I hope to continue this progress, and ask your support in the coming election. Please vote on Nov. 4!

Homeownership Still Holds Promise for Nine in 10 Americans

By Kevin Stone Monterey County Association of Realtors®

A new survey shows the vast majority of Americans still regard homeownership as a “highly desirable goal,” despite lingering effects of the housing crisis in the mar-ket. The results stem from the latest COUNTRY Financial Security Index® survey and overall it was found that Americans are feeling more optimistic, likely due to an improving economy and labor market.

The survey found that 89 percent of Americans feel that buying a home is an important part of achieving the American Dream.

Furthermore, 64 percent of respondents expressed belief that owning a home is an attainable goal for a typical middle-income family, a significant improvement over last year, when just 41 percent said the same.

There was a generational split on opinions regarding whether or not the goal of homeownership is achievable. Respondents among the ages of 30–39 and ages 50–64 were most likely to be negative in that regard, with 26 percent and 20 percent, respec-tively, saying owning a home is not an attainable goal for a middle-income family.

Among non-homeowners, a quarter of those under age 30 and a fifth of those ages 50–64 said they have no interest in owning a home.

For those who currently don’t own a home, financial limitations represent some of the biggest barriers to homeownership. Fourteen percent say a low credit score is the primary obstacle.

Americans also cite a lack of a down payment (13 percent) and the price of homes in the area (12 percent) as impediments to homeownership.

More than half (56 percent) say their home is a long-term investment of 10 years or more to help fund retirement goals. Half of Americans also said they would avoid taking out a home equity loan unless absolutely necessary.

Heart Disease is Rotary Topic Sept. 23The Pacific Grove Rotary Club, which meets at noon on Tuesdays at The Inn at

Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, 2700 Seventeen Mile Drive, will have as its speaker on September 23 Patrick Farrant, Western Regional Director of Mended Hearts, Inc, “Heart Health and Preventing Heart Disease.” Lunch is $20 and reservations may be made by calling Jane Roland at 649-0657 or 333-0491

A Reader’s DozenMonday served up another warm, clear September afternoon, the latest in a string

of afternoons as flawless as sapphires on a necklace. The soft slant of autumnal light invited outdoor activity: a hike through the pines,

a surf session, a bike ride along the coast. But I’m in the middle of an interesting book right now, so I went right home and turned to page 219.

If you share this affliction, the following recaps are for you. In no particular order, here are a few titles that amused, engaged or troubled me over the past year. (I’d add the one I’m reading now, David Mitchell’s The Bone Clocks, but I don’t know how it turns out.)

Slow Getting Up by Nate Jackson. As a tight end for the Denver Broncos and others, Bay Area native Jackson played six seasons in the National Football League, twice the average NFL career. His witty, mordant memoir explores from a player’s perspective both the lure of the game and the many punishments it metes out. He rarely starred on the field, but Jackson is a stellar raconteur and gadfly.

Wool by Hugh Howey. This started life as a series of stories posted on-line. Then it morphed into a novel, and now Ridley Scott (“Alien,” “Blade Runner”) has bought the movie rights. Fans of speculative fiction should enjoy this ripping yarn of life deep underground after earth’s atmosphere turns toxic. Howey’s protagonist is a fearless lady mechanic. Will Sigourney Weaver get the part?

The Circle by Dave Eggers. In this cautionary moral fable, San Francisco writer Dave Eggers follows one young woman’s rise through a Silicon Valley social media empire not unlike Apple or Google. He poses a timely question: what will happen when all is seen, recorded and archived? When everyone willingly “friends” Big Brother? Also recommended is Eggers’ latest novel, Your Fathers, Where Are They? set in the abandoned barracks at Fort Ord.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. I’m not a big romance reader, but this one snared me. The narrator is a very earnest genetics professor with Asperger’s Syndrome who sets out to find a wife. The only hitch: dating candidates must first fill out a 36-page questionnaire. Rosie, of course, meets none of his requirements. Two other amusing titles along similar lines are Gabrielle Zevin’s sweet The Storied Life of A.J. Fikery and Jonathan Tropper’s ribald This Is Where I Leave You, now out as a film.

The Good Lord Bird by James McBride. The lyric “John Brown’s body lies a moulderin’ in the grave” was about all I knew of the famous abolitionist until reading McBride’s National Book Award winner. Told from the perspective of a young black boy mistakenly taken up by Brown’s ragtag “army,” the novel recounts critical events that led to the Civil War. With double-edged parochial wit befitting Mark Twain, Mc-Bride examines racism and sexism through a 19th century lens.

A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra. The title derives from the medical world, the domain of two prominent characters in this dark and gripping war novel. Set in Chechnya, the book follows eight villagers swept up in Chechnya’s brutal conflicts with Russia over a 10-year span. Brilliantly plotted and superbly writ-ten, this reminded me of another unorthodox war story, Corelli’s Mandolin.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Dickensian in scope and execution, Tartt’s coming-of-age epic opens with a lethal explosion in an art museum. Her dazed young protagonist staggers from the wreckage clutching a priceless Renaissance masterpiece, the “Goldfinch” of the title. His efforts to keep the theft secret lead to 900 pages of adventure, love, duplicity and betrayal. Tartt’s many characters and settings are indel-ible, making this a Great Expectations for our time.

Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore by Robin Sloane. This falls somewhere along the continuum from Dave Eggers (see above) to Dan (Da Vinci Code) Brown. Jobless after a corporate buyout, Sloane’s funny, tech-savvy narrator takes a job in a very weird San Francisco bookstore. The only customers are black-cloaked figures trying to solve a 500-year-old codex. As the narrator enlists his high-tech friends in the quest, Google meets Guttenberg. Light and snarky.

The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner. Named for her home town, Kushner’s young heroine Reno is a fearless motorcycle racer who hopes to become a film maker. Set in the 1970s, the novel follows Reno from Utah’s Bonneville salt flats to Man-hattan’s lower East Side and finally to Milan and Rome in Italy. Along the way, she encounters a vivid cast of daredevils, artists, poseurs, seducers, elitists and evildoers.

And finally, since the red planet is back in the news this week, a plug for The Martian by Andy Weir. Imagine Robinson Crusoe or the Tom Hanks movie “Cast Away,” only this time, set on Mars. Accidentally stranded by his departing crewmates, a lone astronaut has to survive until a rescue ship can reach him. The catch: it could take four years. He will need some good books.

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols

100 Years Ago in Pacific GroveMain line

Dodge Brothers introduce new auto lineThe Dodge Brothers, long-time manufacturers of the Ford chassis, have opted to

separate from Henry Ford and go into the auto mobile manufacturing business on their own. Established in 1900 by John Francis and Horace Elgin Dodge, the Dodge Brother’s Company was dedicated to exclusively manufacturing parts for auto mobiles. Shortly after opening, the Dodge Brothers Company began providing contracted services for Ford. Some say that John Francis and Horace Elgin were more responsible for Ford auto mobiles than was Henry himself. Recently, however, John Francis and Horace Elgin chaffed over the vast publicity received by Henry Ford and the lack of their own. They were also upset by Ford’s refusal to adopt the “sliding gear” transmission recently developed by the Dodge Brothers.

Locally, Charles Culp of the Culp Brothers’ auto motive, has stated that he hopes Culp Bros can land a commission to represent the Dodge Bros. new vehicle. 1

Vincent Group, Chautauqua Literary and Scientific CircleThe Vincent group of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) held

its annual closing exercises this past week, followed by supper and entertainments. The assembly convened in the Epworth League parlor of Pacific Grove’s Methodist-Episcopal church. The circle’s streamer and Chautauqua logo had been carefully placed for a pleasing effect. This being Dickens’ year, a handsome picture of the famous author had been hung. A silk banner spanned the room bearing the year’s slogan: The times of man advance.

Upon the tables and all flat surfaces, bowers of roses wrapped in maidenhair ferns were centered. The English rose was the group’s flower of the year.

Sixty individuals answered attendance call.After a supper—catered by the Pacific Grove Hotel kitchen—was enjoyed, Mrs.

W. E. Grimes, president, called the assembly back to order. The time had arrived for entertainments.

Rev. Joseph Wilkes delivered a humorous history of the CLSC with principal characters Joe and Jane Readwell. Mrs. Etta Lloyd led the group in a rousing rendition of the class cheer. The Rev. Doctor L. M. Burwell spoke on the Sense or Nonsense of Evolution. Mr. J. Turner and Miss Carole Moore presented a musical medley. Miss Anna Jones recited a lengthy poem she had written. The values of the Classics in Modern Education were discussed by R. H. Willey. Mrs. O. R. Sheppa talked about the Restorative Value of Chautauqua. Mrs. Etta Lloyd and Mrs. M. E. Hester were honored as Chautauqua pioneers.

The meeting then closed with the group singing of the Chautauqua song. 2

Old pillow stops saleM. J. Baker has been trying for the past several years to sell his Salinas Valley

ranch. Baker has had his place listed with real estate agents and many parties have come around to look the ranch over. Just recently a deal was struck with two gentlemen from Italy and the ranch was to change hands. Mr. Baker was packing his belongings into a truck. Hunter had just picked up a sofa pillow for inclusion when he heard one of the Italians shouting.

“Il cuscinova con il lugo.” [The pillow goes with the place.]“That’s where you are wrong,” countered Baker.“Sir! Vi sono, in sostanza, rubare.” [You are, in essence, stealing.]“I am not. This pillow has been part of the ranch for years. I have often rested

myself upon its softness.“The Italian replied: “Well, by golly, you’ll not have this pillow to sit upon again.”“You are quite mistaken,” cried Baker.As it turned out, the pillow remained with the place … but then, so did Baker.Baker marched by auto mobile to Santa Cruz where he had his bank. He withdrew

the amount of refund, gave it to the Italians, and demanded that the deed be returned.The ranch was again Baker’s … all because of an old pillow. 3

Free trainsMrs. W. R. Hurst has agreed to pay for a railroad passenger car to bring folks from

Monterey to the Grove to enjoy the last of the Chautauqua season. An omnibus will be waiting to transport participants to and from the campground of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Ladies! Be sure to pack your lunch. Trains are scheduled to make the run every fifteen minutes.

New teachers selectedMiss Culler, Miss Dickson, and Miss Harbaugh have been chosen to teach in the

Elizabeth’s Library to Honor Its First Anniversary

On Sunday, September 28 a celebration of the first anniversary of Elizabeth’s Library will be held at Trinity Christian High School 601 E. Franklin St., Monterey. The event will begin at 2:00 p.m.

The public is invited to learn of the vision and programs of Elizabeth’s Library International and its programs in Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia and Zimbabwe and hear how they can pa Elizabeth Tollhurst, a Monterey Peninsula native, was born in 1985 and was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at an early age.

She endured many surgeries, hospitals stays and long stretches of pain. “...her uncomplaining, vibrant spirit outshone such struggle. She always sought to encourage others and share with them her cheerful smile, a Word from Scripture, a prayer or one of her special handmade cards. She had no fear of sharing her love of Jesus; she truly loved others and wanted them

to have the faith that she had been given,” according to her website and members of the organization founded in her name.

Early on, Elizabeth realized what a privilege learning is. She was a voracious reader. She had a love of children, books, learning, and teaching. She mastered sign language so she could effectively serve as an interpreter for the deaf.

Her father had spent time in Africa when he was young, so Elizabeth was drawn to the struggles of the African people.

She joined a support group for Hope Home Mission, an indigenous ministry lo-cated in Lilongwe, Malawi and dreamed of a future visit to serve as a teacher in the orphan school.

The Hope Home Mission support group sent hundreds of books to Malawi and planned to raise funds to upgrade one of the campus buildings to use as a needed com-munity library. Elizabeth died at age 17 before her dream of seeing the fruition of this project.

Supporters of Hope Home Mission decided to name the future library in her honor. Memorial gifts sent when Elizabeth died funded the construction. Elizabeth’s Library in Lilongwe, Malawi was officially dedicated in July 2012 with local community leaders and citizens plus American friends in attendance.

It is the only library available to hundreds of people in that area of Lilongwe. The impact of this incredible resource on the lives of so many became the inspiration to establish community libraries and resource centers in other underserved areas around the world.

In July 2013, Elizabeth’s Library International became a registered nonprofit in the State of California. In less than six months, another small library has been founded in the West African nation of Cote d’Ivoire along with a children’s reading program. A mobile library is gaining ground in Zambia.

Lana Lynn, founder of Elizabeth’s Library International, proudly describes a Carnegie Library in her hometown of Britton, SD, where she grew up loving books just like Elizabeth Tollhurst did. She hopes for many new partners in prayer and financial contributions. rtner with the orgganization.

Pacific Grove Local Coastal Program (LCP) Completion in Process

The City of Pacific Grove has started the process to update its Local Coastal Program (LCP). The LCP Update builds on the already certified LCP Land Use Plan (LUP) and prior implementing plan certification efforts.

Within the next 18 months, the City anticipates having what is called an “Implementation Plan” (IP) that is certified by the California Coastal Commission. Once the IP is certified by the Coastal Commission, it relinquishes permitting authority and grants this authority to the City of Pacific Grove. The City will then have full “permit authority” within its coastal zone, thereby avoiding the need for residents, builders and developers to gain further approval from the Coastal Commission on most construction projects. The City’s coastal zone is generally bounded by Central Avenue, Ocean View Boulevard and Asilomar Boulevard seaward.

Opportunities for public involvement in the LCP/IP certification process will be available during two to three community meetings and joint City Council/Planning Commission study sessions/workshops/hearings that will be scheduled at critical points during the process. The first community meeting is scheduled for October 9, 2014, in the Council Chambers at City Hall. The City anticipates completing the certification process by the end of 2015 or in early 2016.

“Dad Couldn’t Remember How To Get Home.”

(Source for all statistics: Alzheimer’s Association, www.alz.org)

An estimated 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s has more than doubled since 1980.

The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease will continue to grow — by 2050 the number of individuals with Alzheimer’s could range from 11.3 million to 16 million.

Half of all nursing home residents have Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder.

A person with Alzheimer’s disease will live an average of eight years and as many as 20 years or more from the onset of symptoms.

The average cost for nursing home care is over $50,000 per year but can exceed $70,000.

sion: Ideas, Inspiration & Insights from the Painter’s Gardens”) introduces her new book “Living Life in Full Bloom: 120 Practices to Deepen Your Passion, Creativity and Relationships.” Murray profiles land caretakers who practice living with “hope, purpose, imagination and vision,” and shares stories of inspiring friends who exemplify a life lived in “Full Bloom.” She encourages her readers to “Explore four inspirational pathways: Gardener, Artist, Lover, and Spirit-Weaver. As Gardener, you’ll cultivate your intimacy with nature, deepen, and grow; as Artist, you’ll expand your creativity and imagination with playful curiosity and delight; as Lover, you’ll lead with the heart and commit to what you cherish; and as Spirit-Weaver, you’ll practice mindfulness and establish personal rituals and celebrations to express your blessings and gratitude.” Murray’s lecture will be accompanied by her own beautiful photography.

Seniors Need to Be Tenacious in Medicare Appeals

If you’re like most people, you’ve likely received a bill from Medicare for services that were not covered in part or in full, even though both you and your doctor believe that Medicare made an error. Of the 1.1 billion claims submitted to Medicare in 2010 for hospitalizations, nursing home care, doctor’s visits, tests and physical therapy, 117 million were denied. Of those, only 2 percent were appealed.

Few people have the patience, tenacity or health to question a Medicare cover-age denial, and those who do appeal but lose on the first try tend to give up too soon. Alternately, their kids are handling the appeal and they are too overwhelmed caring for Mom or Dad to take the appeal to the highest level. Yet the Inspector General’s office in the Department of Health and Human Services reported last month that of all appeals in 2010 that reached the third level of review, where the issue is decided by an administrative law judge, 56 percent of all unfavorable decisions in 2010. That’s an encouraging statistic!

Some problems can be resolved without appealing, such as when a payment is denied because the doctor or other provider used the wrong treatment or billing code. If the provider resubmits a corrected claim, it will most likely be paid. The first two levels of appeals are based on a documents-only review, and the administrative law judge stage is the first level when you can interact with a human. A common observation is that if people knew that they are likely to lose at the first couple of levels (sometimes it’s an almost automatic denial), they would stick it out until they got to a judge.

Medicare officials this year redesigned the quarterly beneficiary statements to make instructions about the appeals process clearer. Alternately, you can learn about the Medicare appeals process and the Role of the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA) online at http://www.hhs.gov/omha.

Matsiko Orphans Choir to PerformSanta Catalina School is excited to host the Matsiko World Orphans Choir on

Monday, September 29 at 11:00 am in the Lower and Middle School's outdoor amphi-theatre on the school's campus.

The choir of 18 children from developing nations around the world will perform songs of hope for the students and faculty. Following the performance, the Matsiko Choir will hold a faire of handmade goods and other merchandise. The children from the choir will lunch with students in grades 4 and 5, and then meet with their eighth grade pen pals to talk and learn more about one another. Santa Catalina eighth grader, Alessia Bothorel, who lived in Peru, will assist as a translator. This meeting time also includes a group discussion about the choir performance and the shared stories of the children. The visit will end with the Matsiko Choir teaching their pen pals a part from one of their songs.

The Matsiko Orphans Choir was started in 2008 by the International Children's Network (ICN), and is comprised of orphaned children from Peru, India, and Liberia. The children share their lives and culture through song and dance, connecting their hearts with audiences everywhere. The performances can include cultural dances, dramatic performances, and original and authentic drum routines. Proceeds generated by the choir's tour and merchandise sales go directly to support ICN's worldwide programs.

Gentrain Attracts Returning LearnersGentrain has become a staple of education at Monterey Peninsula College, attract-

ing a wide variety of learners of all ages.The program, founded in 1974, was originally design as a “General Train of

Education” – hence the name – but a good number of returning learners are involved in the credit/non-credit program. It is presented in four four-week courses and can be completed in four semesters. One unit of credit is available for each four-week class should a student decide to take the exams offered, but many of the estimated 200 stu-dents per semester choose the non-credit route.

The two-year program is a general survey of Western Civilization and begins with pre-history, working up to the present in a series of lectures encompassing philosophy/religion, history, art, and literature/drama.

It is the biggest class at Monterey Peninsula College, says Alan Haffa, who teaches the literature spectrum.

In addition, there are travel/study trips, which might include museum exhibits and theater, all the way to trips abroad to Egypt and Turkey. Haffa leads a tour ot Ashland, OR for the Shakespeare Festival.

“It's a community of learners, but we also become friends,” says Haffa. Some 600 people belong to the Gentrain Society and gather for events such as an annual picnic and Valentine's Day parties.

There is no charge to attend Gentrain Society lectures, though there is a parking fee payable at the college if one is not a Gentrain Society member. For more informa-tion, consult www.gentrain.org.

Golf Tips

I just spoke to one of my students who is on a vacation. He said he was playing some good golf but was having a little trouble with his putting. I told him when your putting is off, practice my string drill. Get a couple of pencils and a bright orange or yellow string about 10 feet in length. Tie the sting to the eraser end of the pencils and get to the putting green. Now, stick one pencil in the grass about a foot behind the cup and stretch out the string until the string is tight. Place your golf ball under the string say about five feet from the cup and start putting from different distances. This drill will help you keep your putter face square back and square through. Start with this drill — I have seen it help students putt better.

Girls’ Varsity VolleyballBreakers varsity girls’ volleyball team falls to (1-3) after North Salinas lossBy Jon Charron

After a strong performance last week, the Breakers girls’ volleyball team looked to keep the momentum going. However, they couldn’t keep up with North Salinas High on Monday night [9-22-14] losing in three sets.

After getting off to slow start, Pacific Grove found themselves down 9-4. The Breakers rallied though, to pull even at 9. After going back and forth, it looked as though the Breakers might take the first set, but eventually North Salinas was able to take advantage of Breaker errors and close out the set 25-20.

Just like the first set, North Salinas got off to a fast start in the second and third sets. The Breakers played themselves back into each set, but it was hard to make a dent. The Vikings continued to get points in quick bursts, four or five at a time, making the Breakers have to put together a rally just to come within a point or two. The Vikings though, were just too much, taking sets two and three also, to complete the sweep.

The Breakers put up a good fight and had chances, but North Salinas started and closed each set strong to give them the road victory. Box Score

By Bruce Cowan

For many decades people have used a giant grass from Argentina called pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) for landscapes. This species has very narrow gray-green leaves, and the plumes come up pure white just slightly above the leaves. It is not very common here and seldom spreads from seed locally, although it does in southern California.

A more recent species of pampas grass from Ecua-dor, sometimes called jubata grass (Cortaderia jubata) has run rampant and become a serious problem. The leaves of this species are slightly wider, greener, not usually curved as high, and the seed stalks rise up taller, becoming a fire hazard as they dry. Seed plumes are initially a pinkish white. This species of pampas grass is rapidly taking over many hillsides along the Big Sur coast, overrunning the native plants. It is becoming com-mon in the northern Monterey Bay area, approaching Aptos and Santa Cruz. Thirty years ago it was abundant throughout many natural areas in Del Monte Forest (Pebble Beach), spreading quickly along fire roads and and trails, invading and displacing forest and chaparral vegetation. Along trails it could slash the legs of hikers wearing shorts with is sawblade-like foliage.

I personally have spent hundreds of volunteer hours helping remove pampas grass from the natural open space areas there, and it is now mostly gone from Pebble Beach — except from a few private properties. I helped get rid of infestations of pampas grass at PG High School, where it was encroaching rapidly in wooded or grassy areas near the tennis courts, football field and parking areas, and also from Rip Van Winkle Park, the Huckle-berry Hill/Veterans’ Park of Monterey, and Point Lobos.

Small to medium ones can be dug out, really large ones usually must be sprayed. Seed plumes should be pulled or clipped and placed carefully in large plastic bags for disposal before seeds disperse.

In some parts of Pacific Grove this giant weed continues to shed its seeds and spread--as shown in the accompanying photos.

Michael Jones (PGHS Clss of 1992) submitted a grant proposal to Farmers Insurance for their Dream Big Challenge, a grant that awards $100,000 to school project proposals. His grant was the only one chosen in California to compete against two other proposals in this voting region. The other proposals are in Nevada and Arizona.

Jones now works as a teacher in King City and wrote his proposal to provide af-ter-school classes that focus on digital art. The proposal provides technology as well as funding for staff for the after-school and summer sessions. The program will include classes for all of the elementary school campuses in King City.

Voting starts on October 1 and con-tinues through November 30 at www.thankamillionteachers.com

You can support this proposal by voting each day during the voting period and sharing the information to get others to vote.

He has created a website with infor-mation about the grant and instructions on how to help at artsgrant.weebly.com

Jones is so eager to see the grant suc-ceed that the created a Twitter account as well, @mon2rey. “ I have never used Twit-ter before,” he says. This has the potential for disaster and comedy.

“Follow me on Twitter to watch me shamelessly promote voting for my proj-ect. I will be in a daily struggle to find enough support to stay competitive with larger metropolitan areas.”

a celebration of DOGS

Will Bullas believes in the fine art of fun. And pun. He has built it into a suc-cessful career using images of animals to poke fun at human foibles.

Will and his wife and partner of 40 years, Claudia, live just down the street and across a meadow from their son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, ages 7 and 9, in what one might call a scene out of Americana. Their daily routine involves feeding the Indian runner ducks which live nearby in their pond and have been the inspiration of many of the humorous animal paintings that have made him famous around the world. "Unknown by many and loved by so many" is how Will refers to this phenomenon.

Will moved to the Monterey Peninsula in 1972 from Santa Barbara and began his life's journey in painting humorous paint-ings of animals that speak to human condi-tions and the art of double entendres. Bul-las' art speaks to the connection between our human lives and his animal portrayal of everyday habits or social behaviors that might seem oddly funny. His "Tipsy Chicks" image of a group of baby chicks seated at a bar, drinking martinis and get-ting intoxicated is one of the many pieces that have that Bullas joie de vivre attitude.

Asked why he began using animals as his subject matter, he replies, "It was the era of Save the Whales and I was smitten with the message of the times." He goes on to impart the story of his visit to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, having been invited by the curator to enter the exhibit of three adolescent walruses. These gentle giants were oddly curious and playful and when Will touched them and felt their wonder, he was hooked. The rest is history.

Having grown up in Arizona, Will found his early voice with a creative outlet in watercolors and his interest in cartoons. His early years watching TV and the social behaviors portrayed in cartoon programs and short films gave him the impetus to begin a lifelong career in the arts and on the Internet.

Bullas has been one the more popular artists in our modern social culture. Having embraced the Internet and its long reach into global homes and minds, he excels at brand licensing and ancillary rights for his original art and has logged more than 2,000 images in his online library. You can find Bullas artwork on tee shirts, scratcher tick-ets, posters, cards, wine labels and many more products found around the globe.

With the National Week of the Dog upon us, Will recounts his long history of giving locally, starting with his first origi-nal and only piece given to Pacific Grove's Beacon House back in 1974. It continues today with Will's poster of "Lab Danc-ing" which was donated for the upcoming Fiesta Del Perro, to be celebrated on Sept 27 at Robert Down Middle School on Pine Street from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Will Bullas' paintings make us smile and give us a view of our own world thru the joyful eyes of laughter at the human world and its both ridiculous and mundane moments. He is our own Carmel Valley treasure and we are happy he has chosen the Monterey Peninsula as his home, hav-ing given us all a laugh and moment to think about the absurdity of it all - and in animalistic style.

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts

Did you know that this is National Dog Week? What a perfect time to write about Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and its two remarkable founders, cel-ebrating five years of finding homes for dogs in need.

I met Monica Rua and Carie Broecker in 2006 when I was in the 20th year of managing the SPCA Benefit Shop on Forest Avenue. They stopped by to investigate the possibility of their starting a similar operation. The SPCA was in transition and was moving store operations to Carmel. At the time, the storefront on the corner of Grand and Lighthouse was available. The women looked at it and decided it would be perfect for AFRP headquarters. My previ-ous job ended and I was asked to operate a similar venture for their organiza-tion in their former location on 17th Street. Monica was a founder and Carie the first volunteer in 1989. They were intimately involved with AFRP, serving on the board as Presidents and/or Executive Directors.

In 2009 a friend of Broecker’s was terminally ill and was facing the devastating prospect of having her dog euthanized to save it from being sur-rendered to a shelter. Broecker came up with the idea of Peace of Mind Dog Rescue. Rua was supportive of the mission and suggested they take senior dogs from animal shelters where they have little or no chance of survival.

In 2012, Patricia J. Bauer donated a house in Pacfic Grove for their headquarters. POMDR now has over 400 volunteers, two paid staff members, an active board of directors and over 3,500 supporters. All POMDR dogs are cared for in volunteer foster homes and there are an average of 60 dogs in foster care at any given time.

They receive calls from all over the state, and, even across the country from people asking for help for dogs whose guardians have passed away or are dying, but the focus is on Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. Those involved have a life time commitment to all the dogs that come to them. These animals, which, through no fault of their own, have become homeless, will find forever parents or remain in foster care until their demise.

I have known most of the staff and volunteers for many years and marvel at their devotion and commitment. When life is over or caring for a dog has become impossible, there is comfort in knowing that there are groups that will help, that will kindly take in the animal and, while no one can replace the former owner, at least it will be loved and nurtured forever. In some cases there have been volunteers who (as in the case of AFRP as well) will drive the pet over to visit his previous “friend” who is in a nursing home. They offer humanity to dogs and also to humans.

John and I have reached the time in our lives when replacing an animal with a “youngster” is not feasible. It isn’t fair to take in a pet when we know our time and stamina are limited. Right now we are facing the end of life of our chocolate lab Brandy. Last year at this time, she was given a few months due to congestive heart failure. Thanks to pills and care she is still hanging in. She eats and is most enthusiastic about her treats, however, we know it is simply a question of time. During our 43-year marriage we have had too many pets to count; as one goes we take in another. No dog or cat can replace another, but they have different qualities. We have nurtured them and they us. When Brandy goes to the Pastures of Heaven to play with those who have gone before we will be faced with what to do.

Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and Animal Friends Rescue Project will pro-vide the answer. Somewhere there will be a senior pooch waiting for us and we will gather him/her in, knowing that should the animal outlive us there will be a place to go. For more information visit www.peaceofminddogrescue.org.

Carie Broecker and Monica Rua, founders of Peace of Mind Dog Rescue (POMDR) in Pacific Grove, were visited by the two animal advocates from Yamazaki Gakuen University in Tokyo. Kaoru Yamazki, PhD. is the chairman of the board of the four-year University which specializes in Animal Health Technology and Tomoko Suzuki, D.V.M. is assistant professor of veterinary nursing. Karou's father founded the college 35 years ago.

The two made the trip to Pacific Grove to tour the POMDR head quarters, learn about POMDR's mission and programs and to share information about their university which offers courses in veterinary nursing, grooming, training, and animal assisted therapy. Their university is heavily involved with rescue as well. Kaoru is also a director of the Tokyo SPCA. They were especially interested in leaning more about POMDR"s Helping Paw program which strives to keep the pets of senior citizens with them as long as possible if their health begins to fail.

Japanese Animal Advocates Visit POMDR

By Barbara Russek

As much as I’ve admired the spec-tacular scene this summer in Pacific Grove (the mountains, the ocean, the weather, the everything), what meant the most to me was the encounters I had with others.

One of my most memorable inter-actions of the season was with Louie, a melt-your-heart-in-a-minute bichon frise that I met quite serendipitously. One day while strolling through an upscale hotel in the area, I happened upon a jewelry store, which occupies space on the first floor of the hotel. I could not resist a pair of dark chocolate brown eyes in the store peering up at me through what appeared to be a pile of freshly fallen snow. The piece de resistance? The fluffy caboose of that pile of snow was wagging Bonjour in the warmest, most welcoming way.

What else would one expect with this canine’s ancestry as the darling of French nobility? (“Bichon frise” actually means “curly lap dog” in French.

From the moment store owner Art let me pet Louie on the store’s comfy leather couch, we became friends. Art’s high end inventory was too rich for my blood; yet, he generously allowed me to come by whenever I wanted a Louie fix, usually once or twice a week.

During one of these visits, I really had to laugh, as Louie made clear to me the order of his affections. After spending about 20 minutes on my lap, rewarding my belly rubs with kisses, courtesy of his little pink tongue, he suddenly jumped off the couch. Imitating the gesture of a toddler, who raises his arms up the leg of Mom or Dad begging to be picked up, Louie, ran to Art and did exactly the same thing with his front paws, as if to say, Barbara, I think you’re nice, but Art is still number one.

But as the shop owner later told me, he himself actually has to play second fiddle once the two return home after work. Totally ignoring Art, Louie runs to the window, waiting patiently for Art’s wife Adriana to come home from work. When Louie spots Adriana, there’s no question that she’s now top of the line in the eyes of this princely pooch. Could the fact that Adriana is going to the kitchen to cook dinner and will no doubt slip Louie a few choice morsels have something to do with it?

I wondered how Louie became Art’s unofficial business partner. “Louie really belongs to my daughter,” Art explained. “She wanted a dog; Louie was the best choice we could have made.”

“My wife started bringing Louie to work in Carmel,” Art continued, “because he would cry like a baby when we left him at home alone. There was too much hustle bustle at the shopping center in Carmel to add Louie to the mix, so I decided to bring him to work with me.”

Adorable Louie has brought in much more business than any neon sign ever did.

During my stay on the Peninsula, Louie provided me with many hours of un-conditional love, with no secret concerns of whether it was worth his while to spend time with someone who would be going home in mid-September. He was simply enjoying the moment with me.

When it was time to say goodbye, I expressed a heartfelt merci beaucoup to Louie for adding so much fun to my sum-mer hiatus. A la prochaine mon ami (See you next time, my friend.)

Peace of Mind Dog Rescue and Animal Friends Rescue Project Hold Fifth Annual Dance for the Rescues

The Fifth Annual Dance for the Rescues will be held on Sunday, October 12 from 10:00 am - 4 pm at the Custom House Plaza - Monterey Historic State Park. A crowd of over one thousand supporters are expected to fill the plaza. This event has raised over $100,000 for rescue animals since its inception. The goal for this year’s event is to raise $50,000. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit POMDR and AFRP.

Dance Ambassadors will be Zumba dancing to earn the pledges they collected over the weeks leading up to the event. There will be food, arts & crafts, pet related products and fitness/health vendors at the event. Rescue groups such as Animal Friends Rescue Project (AFRP), Peace of Mind Dog Rescue (POMDR), Greyhound Friends for Life, Operation Freedom Paws, Valley View Equine Rescue and Pet Friends Rescue will be available to share information about their organizations and to showcase some of the adoptable animals.

The First Annual Dance for the Rescues took place on October 10, 2010. On October 4, 2011 the Monterey County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to declare the second Sunday of every October as “Animal Rescue Day.” Dance for the Rescues has taken place on Animal Rescue Day ever since the adoption of this resolution. This year, the City of Pacific Grove joined the County in declaring the second Sunday of October as Animal Rescue Day.

For more information about the event visit www.dancefortherescues.org.About Dance for the Rescues:The first annual Dance for the Rescues took place in early 2010 when

Dance for the Rescues Founder Polaris Kinison Brown had the idea to com-bine her passion for Zumba with her passion for rescuing animals.

Polaris, who grew up on a farm where her mother rescued every animal in need that crossed her path including crows, snakes, horses, cats, dogs, crows, squirrels and raccoons, has been involved in the cat and dog rescue community for over 18 years. She and her husband Taven have fostered over 100 mama cats and kittens over the years as volunteers with northern California rescue groups and Animal Friends Rescue Project.

When Polaris started taking Zumba classes, a high energy Latin infused dance combining salsa, meringue, cumbia and other dance styles, she was so impressed by the uplifting energy of the Zumba community that it seemed only natural to infuse that energy into the rescue community, who were often feeling burnt out and downtrodden.

Dance for the Rescues mission is to inspire through dance, support of animal rescue organizations that have made a lifelong commitment to those in their care. For more information about volunteering or making a donation visit www.dancefortherescues.org or call Polaris at 831-277-4049.

Recent revisions to the laws concern-ing dogs in restaurants in the state of Cali-fornia remind us that service animals are allowed to remain with their owners, with very few exceptions (e.g. in food prepara-tion areas or other sterile environments).

A broad look at service animals may clarify matters for some.

Americans with Disabilities Act Definitions

A service animal is a dog that has been trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities. They may be a guide dog for sight-impaired person, they may be trained to alert their deaf owner that the doorbell or the telephone is ringing. There are myriad tasks they can be trained to do., includ-ing calming a person who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

Service animals are working animals. They are not pets.

Generally speaking, entities that serve the public must allow animals to accom-pany people with disabilities in all areas where the public is normally allowed to go. This stricture applies to state and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public...like restaurants.

The service animal must be harnessed or leashed unless doing so interferes with the animal's work or the disabled person. And if that's the case, the owner must use some other means of control. If the dog is out of control or not housebroken, they can be asked to leave but staff at what ever facility is involved must offer the disabled person a way to be served.

Vests and BadgesSo what about those vests and other

badges that people are buying on the Internet?

Registration of a service or support animal is not a requirement. Though ser-vice dog tags (or vests) are not required by the ADA or any California laws, they are a

visible way for business owners, landlords and others to recognize a service animal.

California registers service dogs through county animal enforcement de-partments.

A disabled person cannot be pre-vented from entering a business or resi-dence with a service or support animal simply because they do not have proof of registration.

Legally, what determines that an animal is a service or support animal is a letter from a doctor.

The doctor's letter does not have to state what the disability is, merely that one exists. And it must also state that in the professional opinion of the health care provider, it is essential for the owner to have a service or support animal.

Additionally, a disabled person cannot be required to state what their disability is, under ADA laws. Staff may only ask two questions or a disabled person with a service animal, if the disability is not obvi-ous: one, is it a service animal? And two, what work has the animal been trained to perform?

Support animalsSupport animals do not require train-

ing to perform specific tasks. A support animal provides comfort and companion-ship. Having a service animal may reduce the effects of psychiatric ailments, provide a positive immune boost or decrease heal-ing time. Though these animals are not considered service animals, they are pro-tected under both federal and state housing laws as reasonable accommodations.

There are also new rules concerning miniature horses, which are increasingly being used as service animals.

There must be reasonable limits to the use of miniature horses, the same as with dogs. Is the horse housebroken? Is it under control? And can the facility accommodate the animal, taking into consideration its size?

Further information can be found by consulting http://www.ada.gov/ser-vice_animals_2010.htm and many other websites.

Service dogs come in all shapes and sizes and may be trained to perform many and varied tasks.

The Honor Flight Bay Area Foun-dation (HFBAF) successfully launched its first flight on September 16, 2014 with 26 Bay Area WWII veterans and 26 guardian-escorts from SFO on Virgin American Airlines. The three day adven-ture to Washington DC (free for the WWII veterans) included a two-night stay at the Hilton Hotel in Crystal City and visits to the WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and Women’s Veteran memorials, plus stops at the Lincoln Me-

morial and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. There was a visit to Arlington Cemetery for the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which included a special wreath-laying ceremony by four HFAB veterans.

HFBAF president and Pacific Grove resident, Carl Stewart, Capt., SC, USNR(Ret) said, “I am extremely proud to be associated with an outstanding group of patriotic volunteers who, in less than

six months from the HFBAF establish-ment, executed a highly successful trip to Washington, D.C.”

He said that this trip was enabled by generous, donations received from Gen-eral Electric, San Francisco Firefighters, Blue Star Moms, Blossom Valley Foods, Wheelchair Foundation, various local-Rotary, Kiwanis, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars Posts along with many patriotic individuals.

“It costs about $1200 to cover ex-penses for one veteran,” he noted.

Pacific Grove Students will ParticipateModel UN to Focus on Space War

Could the next world war occur in space? While this question may seem like something out of a far-off sci-fi movie, it is actually a legitimate question worth considering and a topic already being seriously discussed at the United Nations (UN). While we may not have the real UN in our backyard, we do have the Annual Lyceum High School Model UN Conference. Four local high school Model United Nations teams will be debating topics related to the “Future of Space Security,” which is this year’s conference topic for the 2nd Annual Lyceum High School Model United Nations.The conference will be held on Saturday, October 4 at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Participating high schools this year are Carmel High School, Pacific Grove High School, Santa Catalina School, and York School.

We expect to host between 60 and 70 high school participants this year who will act as delegates for over 20 different countries. Registration for the event will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning with the first committee beginning at 9:00 a.m. While the conference is only in its second year, there has been great demand from local high schools. The Lyceum will continue to grow the conference in years to come, making it the largest MUN conference on the Monterey Peninsula.

The closing speaker this year will be international space security expert, Dr. James Clay Moltz, who currently teaches at the Naval Postgraduate School. The closing ceremony will start at 3:00 p.m. in the Irvine Auditorium at MIIS and is open to the public. MIIS Translation and Interpretation students will be simultane-ously interpreting the closing ceremony into five different languages.

More information on the event can be found on the Lyceum website: http://www.lyceum.org

About the ConferenceThis is the second year that the Lyceum is sponsoring a high school model UN

conference. The Lyceum has hosted a middle school model UN conference for the past five years, and recently decided to start the tradition for local high school students. The conference will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the closing ceremony will take place at 4:00 p.m. with a one hour lunch break at 11:30 a.m. The conference will take place primarily in the Morse Building at MIIS, 426 Van Buren St, Monterey.

PACIFIC GROVE

By Emily Czaplak

When someone says the word ‘hero,’ one may think of terms such as leadership, selflessness, generosity, or willingness. These are all very important character-istics in order to be considered a hero of any kind. Heroes are always willing to put themselves second in any situation in order to help other people. They will sometimes risk their health or even lives to make sure they have put another person in a better situation. Heroes are selfless in the sense that they are not obsequious no matter what the cost. Besides the charac-teristics of being a general hero, there are some things athletes can do in order to be considered a sports hero. To be a sports hero, one must have all of these traits as well as some others, such as determination, focus, and overall leader leadership.

Someone who has all of these charac-teristics and really sticks out to be a leader with good character is Kyle Czaplak. He has always been one to strive to be the best he could possibly be and set his goals as high as he could imagine. Throughout every level of baseball, his number one goal has been to play in the MLB. Aside from making himself better, Czaplak has always been the natural leader on his team and willing to help others, whether in sports or not. One of the most important traits that he has is humility. No matter how big his achievement, he is never too big or too important to put in extra time to complete menial tasks, such as clean or rake the field. For example, when he was awarded MVP at one of the biggest showcases in California, the North-South Tournament, he made sure to stay with the coaches to clean up the dugout while all of his other teammates left. Not only his teammates, but his coaches as well, have always looked up to his hard work and willingness.

Czaplak started playing baseball at the age of four and ever since, baseball has been one of his biggest priorities in life. Once he reached high school, he knew these would be some of the most important times in his life to achieve his goals, both academically and athletically. When he moved to a new town, people really did not know much about him except for a few players, who had played with him before, and one of the varsity coaches. Within a few weeks of school starting, baseball tryouts would also begin. The one coach who had watched him grow up assured Gil Ruiz, the head coach, that Czaplak was one to look at to bring up to Varsity, but Ruiz was a little skeptical, considering that Czaplak was only fourteen and a freshman. Tryouts came along, and Ruiz could not believe what he saw on the first day. He immediately called Czaplak over and told him that he would be starting at shortstop for all four years. When the season arrived, he proved to be a natural leader, despite his young age. He helped his teammates better themselves as athletes and as people.

For three years, Czaplak did every-thing he could to attract the attention of baseball scouts; he was invited to many large showcases, as well as winning many awards through his high school team. Unfortunately, during his junior year, he began experiencing severe pain in his hips. He went to many doctors, but none of them could figure out why. Eventually, a Stanford sports medicine doctor told him that he had torn labrums and bone chips in both hips and that he would need surgery. This huge metamorphosis kept him from playing his beloved sport his entire senior season. He took a turn for the worse, both physically and emotionally. Having to sit

on the bench the entire season and watch his team play was almost impossible for him to cope with. But instead of giving up, he considered this rough patch as an opportunity to make himself stronger, but most of all, to help the team. He did not miss one practice or game and was always outside of the dugout doing whatever he could to improve the team and support his teammates. Essentially, he took on a coaching role as a player.

The surgery Czaplak underwent is known as the “the kiss of death” for many athletes, although he was not going to accept that. He was going to do what he could to come back stronger than he was before, no matter what it took. Before his surgeries, he was in contact with numer-ous D-1 colleges and at least six Major League teams, including the Oakland A’s, Milwaukee Brewers, and the San Fran-cisco Giants. After months of pondering his decisions thoroughly and working hard to recover from his surgeries, Czaplak decided to attend Santa Clara University rather than being drafted by an MLB team. He recently finished his freshman year at Santa Clara, where he started in approxi-mately forty games at shortstop or second base. He was also chosen by the head coach to be a part of the Leadership team, which holds a few meetings every week to discuss how they can better themselves and the program.

Aside from the teams that Czaplak has played on, he also reaches out to the community, especially to younger children learning how to play baseball. In his senior year of high school, he chose the topic Autism Awareness for his senior project. Of course, he had to incorporate baseball somehow. For his physical project, he decided to work with a six-year-old boy named Seth, who is autistic. After consult-ing with Seth’s parents, Czaplak asked him if he would be interested in learning how to play baseball. Seth was so excited to learn and spend time with his new mentor. Czaplak spent many days at the baseball field with Seth, teaching him the basics of baseball. They developed an amazing bond and to this day, whenever Czaplak comes into town, he is sure to visit Seth and spend time catching up. Other than Seth, Czaplak also coaches a little league team at Santa Clara University in the summer. He teaches kids of all ages how to play baseball and most importantly, develop a love for the game.

As much as Czaplak has done to help people better themselves as play-ers and characters, and how strong has been throughout the toughest times in his career, some people may not view him as a sports hero because when many people think of ‘sports heroes,’ they think of famous people. They think of athletes such as Jackie Robinson, who was the first African-American to play in the MLB, or Michael Sam, who was the first to admit he was gay during his career in the NFL. But the reason Kyle Czaplak stands out as a sports hero is not because of a tremendous movement or tremendous fame, but simply because of his willingness, selflessness, and leadership at such a young age and lower level of his career. He does whatever he can to get people to enjoy the game of baseball, along helping make their dreams come true.

An independent audit commissioned by the Pacific Grove Unified School District has revealed that one third of the classrooms in the district have no technol-ogy available. The Pacific Grove USD Ed-Tech Review, which was approved at the school board’s September 4 meeting, is intended to be used as a guide in purchasing computers and other technology equipment, software and training to bring the district up to par with other school districts in the area, and help to shape the District’s long term technology plan.

Dr. Ralph Porras, Pacific Grove’s school superinten-dent, expressed a conviction that technology education in the district needs to be improved. “Right now PG is lagging behind Monterey and Carmel and probably Sa-linas (in technology funding and support).” Porras said that “Technology is a means to an end,” and that end is to teach students the 21st century skills required in college and/or a career.

Bruce Cates, director of technology for the district, threw his support behind a need for a technology upgrade. “What is the world the kids are going into?” he asked. Computers and technology are “going to be everyday

work,” he added.With regard to equipment, the tech review suggests

that the district “Develop and adopt minimum technol-ogy equipment standards for each classroom depending on grade levels.” Any technology adopted should “align with teaching and learning outcomes” and also “be sup-ported by trainings for new staff.” The goal is to move to consistency of equipment within grade levels.

The review suggests that the district develop a plan to obtain cloud-based computers for all students in grades 3-12 and also for teachers. Grades K-2 and teachers would be supplied with tablet access. The computers would not belong to the students, but would remain in the classroom for following years’ students.

Currently many of the computers PG schools are using are as old as nine years, much older than the recom-mended life of three years for computers.

Teaching and learning for educators is an important part of the overall technology plan. Classroom “champi-ons” will be identified and will be paid stipends to moti-vate and train others to use technology in the classrooms. Classroom visitations by teachers will be facilitated and staff meetings will encourage resource sharing.

An outside consultant will be hired to evaluate the network infrastructure of the school system. A profes-sional learning plan will guide teachers in receiving training. A technology assistant position will be created in the district office. Site lab technicians will have their workday increased from seven to eight hours each day. Funding for any staffing positions would have to come from the general fund, as Bond funds may not be used for personnel.

According to a presentation made by Roland Baker, an independent technology expert, the review was “predi-cated on where we see society going in general, not on the latest trends.”

Clerk of the Board John Thibeau said, “We’re going to spend this money no matter what … This is the way the curriculum is going to be.”

Porras has said in interviews that if Measure A on the November 2014 ballot doesn’t pass the district will have to find the money for a technical overhaul from somewhere else in the budget. There are no extra funds currently funds available, partially due to the expiration of a parcel tax and sluggish property tax revenue. Since personnel expenses account for close to 83 percent of the overall budget, reductions in staff are most likely, which will lead to larger class sizes.

The Wilsons are at breakfast in their Pacific Grove home on a Saturday morning.

Harry: Do you have anything scheduled for today, honey?Alice: I told Emily I’d visit in the afternoon.H: Any special reason?A: When I spoke to her yesterday she seemed to be in a down mood---probably because

Richard is away again and won’t be back until next week, so she has no one to talk to except little William. I think she could use some adult company. You’re welcome to join me, if you’d like.

H: No thanks, I have some fix-ups to do in the house.----Richard seems to be traveling quite a bit. I didn’t think that lawyers needed to do that.

A: Emily told me that he has an important case that requires him to be in Atlanta and other places to meet with potential witnesses, take their depositions, and so on.

H: I hope that’s all it is.A: What do you mean by that?H: I don’t think it’s good for a marriage for a husband to be away so often.A: Now you’re starting to worry me. Do you know something I don’t?H: No, just things I’ve heard about other people from time to time.A: Such as?H: Joe Frankel had a friend who went to a convention in New Orleans. On the plane

he sat next to a woman with whom he struck up a conversation, leading to a dinner date, leading to a torrid affair, which ended in the friend’s divorce and subsequent marriage to his new acquaintance.

A: That’s a terrible story which I wish you hadn’t told me, because now I’ll be on edge every time Richard is on a trip. Make sure you don’t tell it to Emily!

H: I have no intention of doing that.A: Anyway, Richard is too devoted to his wife and child for anything like that to hap-

pen to him.H: No doubt you’re right. All I’m saying is that it’s not a good idea for an attractive

young man like Richard to be subjected to the temptations that accompany travel away from home, especially when he’s vulnerable.

A: What do you mean by that?H: Until William was born, Emily’s life centered on Richard. After giving birth, the

child from then on came first in her priorities, with her husband a distant second. That’s perfectly natural and most men can cope with it after being disoriented for a while. Some can’t, and miss the attention so much that they look for it elsewhere. I just hope our son is not in the latter category.

A: I’m sure he’s not.----You traveled a lot for your company years ago. Did you have any experiences like the one you described?

H: I sat next to attractive women on planes many times, but can recall having only about a dozen brief affairs---nothing important.

A: Harry Wilson! Will you never stop kidding around? I don’t think you’re funny! In fact, this subject is so unpleasant I’d rather we talked about something else.

H: Okay.---- I read an interesting article that I wanted to discuss with you.A: What about?H: The recurring deadlocks in Congress which have often led to delays of important

legislation and even to a sixteen day partial shutdown of the government not so long ago.

A: That was shameful! No matter who was at fault or why, they were wrong.H: I couldn’t agree more; and what this writer pointed out was that the Catholic Church

had a similar problem 750 years ago and found a solution!A: That sounds fascinating. Tell me more.H: While trying to elect a new Pope in the 13th century, the College of Cardinals was

deadlocked for almost three years! They finally agreed on Gregory X, who imposed new procedures to assure that no such impasse would ever happen again.

A: What were they?H: Continuing for the next several hundred years, when electing a new Pope, the Car-

dinals were locked in their meeting room---first somewhere else and later the Sistine Chapel. If they didn’t come to a decision in three days, their food was reduced to one meal a day. If still deadlocked after another five days, from then on they got nothing but bread and water .

A: Did it work?H: Like a charm.A: We should do it here.H: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. Whichever chamber has the deadlock problem-

--the Senate or House of Representatives—or both, if each adopted a bill but they haven’t been able to reach a compromise, should be locked in the Capitol building and provided with nothing but bread and water until they come to their senses.

A: That’s a splendid idea! How can it be made to happen?H: Don’t ask me. It’s enough that I’m providing the solution to the problem. Let some-

one else figure out how to implement it.

This coming Sunday the 28, an informational day for the fishermen is going to be held at the Coast Guard Pier. This is being hosted by the CG Auxiliary. We are not sure what all will be discussed with them but the Marine Mammal Center has been invited to set up a table and possibly the SPCA Wildlife center to stress the importance of picking up the discarded line and hooks. Also present will be Bay Net volunteers to interpret

Pacific Grove Golf Course Is No Longer A Good NeighborEditor:

I live on the golf course on a lot where my parents lived for many years. During that time the City was a good neighbor, taking responsibility for damages caused by golf balls on its course. The City had a form entitled “Claim for Damages-Golf Course” that was used to report damages to a home or car. I recently had my first claim, but was told by the City the responsibility for damage now belonged to the new company who manages the golf course and to contact the manager Joe Riekena. Upon contact-ing Mr. Riekena, I was told that the company did not cover damages and that in the past the City “was just being nice.” It is sad that America’s Home Town is no longer a good neighbor to its residents.

the local wildlife. The news team should be making an appearance and this is a good opportunity for all of us to show our support of ridding this pier of discarded line and hooks and protecting our wildlife. This event is being held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday and if any of you are available to come by and show your support of this effort it will be greatly appreciated. If our numbers are high showing that the majority out here does want this cleaned up then those that control the pier will take notice.

Many of the fishermen have been trying to pick up the line and hooks but we are still seeing a lot of it. We will see how this day helps to motivate everyone on the pier that are fishing. If we continue to see just as much line discarded following this event then we will proceed forward to our next step.

In the meantime, we would love to see as many of you come down to the pier, bring your cameras, write follow-up letters to the newspaper in support of cleaning up the pier, and definitely post to the Facebook page. Let everyone know that the harbor seal Facebook page sent you. Come by and say hi and as always thank you for your support and your love for the wildlife. It is all of you out there that make the difference and get the protection these animals need.

The annual Historic Home Tour will take place on Sunday, October 5, from noon to 4 p.m. One of the homes featured this year is the Margaret Tennant House.

It was built in 1885 by Margaret Tennant, who used an architect from Sacramento, the same architect who designed St. Mary’s Church a few blocks away. Interestingly, Margaret didn’t like living in this house because of the ocean noise, so she built another house at the property now developed by Canterbury Woods.

“Every day we look out at the bay and see something incredibly beautiful,” remarks Wilda Northrop, who along with her husband Lowell bought the house in 1973.

Lowell designed the many changes that helped make this house their home. They turned the attic into two bedrooms, a bathroom, and computer area and storage. They doubled the size of one bedroom to make a studio, finished the basement, built a new foundation, and added a swimming pool ... which was filled in eight years later after they realized “There aren’t a lot of good pool days in Pacific Grove.”

Tickets for the tour are $25 and can be purchased through the Heritage Society website at www.pacificgrove-heritage.org or at Ketcham’s Barn (605 Laurel) and at Chautauqua Hall (16th and Central) on the day of the tour.
