Mythical Group Takes Over Newspaper
A motley crew of mythical misfits appears to have taken over Cedar Street
Times as Lord Farquaad (Pacific Grove’s Scott McQuiston, pictured at left with
Fiona — Lara Fern), leads his minions against a large green ogre known as Shrek.
Sprinkled like Tinkerbell’s fairy dust throughout this issue are news bytes and
short stories, including the tale of P. Nocchio’s scheme to sell pebbles in Pebble
Beach and B.B. Wolf reported huffing and puffing in proximity to Three Little
Pigs’ brick house.
There’s a police report filed by a family of three bears who say their house
was broken into and all their porridge eaten.
Look for our new advertisers in the wanted section: The Miller’s Daughter, for
example, will spin straw into gold in return for some arcane information while Fairy Godmother Dating Service claims that “Even an Ugly Stepsister can find a
Prince with Our Magic Touch.”
In a faraway kingdom, an unseemly ogre reluctantly rescues a feisty princess.
Add a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a “short” temper, a gingerbread
man with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the
kind of mess that calls for a real hero. “Shrek” is the hilarious story of everyone’s
favorite ogre brought to life on stage.
In August, PacRep’s 25th annual Carmel Shakespeare Festival opens with
“Shrek The Musical,” by Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire, playing
August 15 – September 28 at the Golden Bough Theatre in Carmel. The highly
acclaimed Broadway production, based on the smash-hit movie, received eight
Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Featuring a popular score of
17 all-new songs, along with unforgettable characters and outrageous humor,

The Experiment is Ending
Your last weekly HOME delivery for a while
Last spring, when we began home delivery in Pacific Grove with our Cedar Street
Irregulars, we hoped that increased circulation would result in additional advertising
revenue. While that didn't happen, we now have thousands of new readers and fans for
which we're grateful ... and satisfied. Many decided to subscribe online, too, having
discovered us on their front porch. We were surprised to find that, despite the number
of issues we delivered to homes, the number that go out from racks and other pick-up
points increased!
We hope to continue in that direction, with shorter versions of some stories in print
and longer versions of the same stories online. Our website is and will be so much
more than a receptacle for a PDF version of the newspaper. Photo galleries have been
an important part of the website and will continue to grow as we devote more of that
bright color online to the photos you’ve come to expect, leaving our print pages for
news and our sponsoring advertisers.
But for now the Irregulars are headed back to school, and we've decided to limit
home delivery to the final Friday of each month, the way we did it for a long time.
They'll still be coming around on that Friday or the next Saturday morning, for the
foreseeable future.
If you have any questions or suggestions don’t hesitate to call us at 831-324-4742.
And thank you for your faith and support!
On Your Ballot This Fall
Pacific Grove voters will have a full slate this coming November, which is also a
gubernatorial election.
Three City Council seats are open, as well as the mayor’s seat, and there are eight people
vying for these offices. Rudy Fischer is running for his own position as is Ken Cuneo. Alan
Cohen’s seat is also open as he is “termed out.” Besides the incumbents, other candidates
are Brian Brooks, a realtor; Ed Lake, retired recruiting professional; Shannon Cardwell,
retired postmaster; Bill Peake; and Robert Pacelli, videographer.
Mayor Bill Kampe is running for re-election and opposing him will be John Moore,
retired attorney.
A school tech bond, which will be named on August 14, will also be on the ballot.

World Affairs Council Luncheon:
“ISIS and the Future of Iraq”
In June the bloody war in Syria spilled into northern Iraq, spearheaded by ISIS
(the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria), a militant strain of Sunni Islam. The
proclaimed goal of ISIS is to break down borders in the region - a region in which
many areas, including Iraq, are predominantly Shia - to establish a new Sunni caliphate. As of this writing, the situation in Iraq is fluid and unstable.
Professor Mohammed Hafez Chairman, Department of National Security Affairs, NPGS is an author and specialist in Islamic movements, political radicalization, and jihadist ideologies. Prof. Hafez will discuss the origins and goals of ISIS,
whether their gains to date are durable, and current conditions inside Iraq.
Monday August 25, 2014; 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Rancho Canada Golf Club,
4860 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel. Auditors (lecture only) free at 12:50 p.m. Luncheon $25 Members and $35 Non-members. MC/VISA ($2 extra) or Check; Vegetarian meal optional. RSVP (831) 643-1855. Registration: www.wacmb.org

whole family.
Directed by Stephen Moorer with
Music Direction by Sean Boulware, and

local and regional performers. PacRep is
pleased to have guest actor Rob Devlin in
the title role of “Shrek,” returning to the
Golden Bough stage, having last been seen
in PacRep’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” and
“Beauty and the Beast.” Local favorite
Lara Devlin is featured as ‘Fiona,’ after
starring as “Belle” in PacRep’s “Beauty

“Hairspray,” “JC Superstar,” “Buddy,” and “Forever Plaid.” The villain, “Lord
Farquaad,” will be played by well-known
resident actor Scott McQuiston, most
recently seen in “Hello Broadway,” “Hairspray” and the “Buddy & Friends Tribute
Concert.” With its broad humor, sight-gags, and
modern references, Shrek is the ultimate
“family-friendly” musical, and includes
song favorites such as “Big Bright Beautiful World,” “I Know It’s Today,” “I’m a
Believer,” and many more.

Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols
100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove
Main line
New auto mobile on display
It’s here! And in a new wide streamlined body style. By it, we refer to the Hudson
Sixes. Here, ready for your inspection and consideration, comes the most handsome
auto mobile of the year!
Consider the interior! Soft luxury seats, fawn colored, with seat covers which
have been precisely sewn of kid leather, and hand-fitted. On the floor, mats to protect
from dirt, mud, or rainwater. The slanted wind shield, opening at the bottom to keep
out the elements even when the top is raised, is one-piece glass, braced with a center
bar. Glove pockets are sewn into every door’s carefully crafted panels.
Outside, the body comes in solid colors … coal black, deep ruby, olive green, or
cobalt. We’ll order your color choice when we order your car. Broad band white sidewalls are a hit. Spare tires are fender mounted between the front door and the hood. The
top unbuckles and folds down handily and hangs over air, not blocking the rear seat or
trunk. An optional dust cover for the folded top can be purchased for $25.
The Maxwell’s engine comes as a standard six, or as a light six or economy six,
with cost but a few pennies more for one or the other of the non-standard engines. The
hood sports an open temperature gage as ornament, visible from the driver’s seat thus
protecting against heat. Every door is above a full-length running board. The frame
stands tall enough to avoid all but the tallest jutting rock. The vehicle’s entire weight
is 2,080 pounds or a little more, depending on selected options. Seating for five, comfortably. Only 500 of these frames available nation-wide, and a Hudson mechanic is
waiting to assemble your classic machine.
This vehicle has been more appreciatively received than any other auto mobile. The
six-40 model can be yours for $1750 and up. The six-fifty four model starts at $2,250.
Financing is made available through the bank of E. Cooke Smith. 1
The Maxwell will be your joy for the rest of your life! Stop in and see L. H.
Peterson company in Pacific. They promise not to talk turkey, but to talk Maxwell! 1
Profitable tithing
The little book Daily Heavenly Manna is enjoying the largest circulation of any
book recently published. And there is more. Christian readers consider the book to be
one of the most helpful books … ever!
If Christians allow the rush and crush of selfish ambition to deprive them of their
daily ration of heavenly food, such Christians must not be surprised if they grow
spiritually leaner day by day, and if the peace of God gives way in their hearts to the
discontent which is growing in the world, notwithstanding the multiplication of our
comforts and privileges.
Daily Heavenly Manna contains a collection of Scripture texts with appropriate
quotations for everyday of the year. Surely the little tithe of time daily spent partaking
of morsels of heavenly consult cannot fail to profit all who partake. And guidance can
be found within the pages of Daily Heavenly Manna, which is published to be helpful,
and not for profit.
The extra room given over in this book to autographs accompanied by a birth date
is a great convenience. Opposite each day of the year a blank space waits the signatures
of friends and family. In this manner, the book’s owner is reminded of birthdays as
each occurs. As time goes along, the book becomes more valuable. Marriage and death
records are added. Ten years after purchase, the purchaser would not sell his book even
for ten dollars. Also included is a table showing which day a specific date occurs on
over a period of 150 years.
Printed on bond paper, covered in imitation alligator, this book can be purchased
for 35¢ from the Review office. Obtain your copy now! 4

Committee Boosts Highway
The Review is in receipt of a letter indicating that a group of Grovians have formed
a booster club for purpose of promoting better roads. First on the club’s targets is the
possible highway between Pacific Grove and the San Joaquine Valley. Their second
target is the proposed coastal highway the length of the state, with the first segment
running from San Jose to San Luis Obispo, probably through or near Salinas because
of the valley’s flatland ease of construction. The principal boosters are R. N. McKaig,
E. Cooke Smith,5 F. L. Buck, and E. B. Gross. The group reports enthusiastic meetings
favoring the construction of auto mobile roads of exceptional quality.

Miss Caroline Oyer has returned from the California Assembly of Advocates of

Civic Club president to speak
Mr. James Pheland, president of the Peninsula Civic club will speak Friday evening

Notes from the author …
1 A century ago, vehicles were especially ordered for special assembly … with factories often located within someone’s back yard garage. With the exception of Fords,
pre-assembled automobiles simply were not available “off the shelf.”
3 Manna was the food prepared by God for Israelite consumption during the desert
crossing.

mercially, perhaps raising funds for a November run for political office.

The Foreclosure Fade, and What it
Means for the Housing Market
By Kevin Stone
Monterey County Association of Realtors®
An important factor shaping the housing market dynamic right now is that the
foreclosure crisis has faded. While foreclosures are not over, so-called “distressed”
sales accounted for just 11 percent of sales in June, down from 15 percent last year, 25
percent in 2012, and 30 percent in 2011. The National Association of REALTORS®
(NAR) released new data on existing U.S. home sales that show the market appears
to be finding its footing.
Sales of previously owned homes rose 2.6 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 5.04 million units. That’s the third straight monthly gain and the highest
level since last October.
While total home sales stood 2.3 percent below the June 2013 level, most of that
can be attributed to the falling share of foreclosures and other distressed sales.
Distressed home sales fell by nearly 40 percent in June from last year, while nondistressed property sales rose 2.3 percent.
As foreclosures fade, it’s great news for the housing market, as it means homeowners don’t have to compete with banks to sell homes–and eventually, builders will have
to ramp up construction to satisfy new demand.
The foreclosure fade also helps explain the eye-popping gains in sales volumes
and prices that we witnessed in 2013. These bargains generated frenzied bidding wars,
both from investors and owner-occupant buyers, and they’re largely history.
The housing market is now going to rely more heavily on traditional drivers of
growth, including job and wage gains and demographics. Tighter credit standards,
higher levels of student debt, and lower incomes for young adults will keep pressure
on homeownership.
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun stated, “New home construction needs to
rise by at least 50 percent for a complete return to a balanced market because supply
shortages - particularly in the West - are still putting upward pressure on prices.”
Cal-Am Applies for Permit to
Demolish Pump House
City Manager Tom Frutchey reports that Cal Am has submitted a formal application
to demolish the condemned pump house at Eardley. They had been given the choice to,
by Aug. 1, either apply for a demolition permit or a building permit to restore or move
the valve house. Some members of the Historic Resources Committee, among others,
have asked that demolition be further considered as it is considered a historical building.
The City's Chief Building Official, John Kuehl, has checked with an outside structural engineer as to the building’s status and was told that, with the fencing now in place,
the building itself poses no significant safety hazard. “If the building did fail, it would
fall inward, and remain within the fencing, Frutchey said. “John is also checking with
our traffic engineer to ensure there are no immediate hazards posed by the fencing.”
Frutchey said that if there are no immediate hazards, then California law requires
Cal Am to conduct a CEQA analysis on its proposal to demolish the building, as the
structure and site had been determined to be historic.
“Contracting for and drafting the CEQA analysis will take multiple weeks, at a
minimum. There will be several opportunities for public input,” Frutchey said. Results
will then go to the City’s Architectural Review Board for a public hearing and decision.
As previously reported, a series of options will be considered, including restoration, relocation, and demolition. If the building were to be relocated or demolished,
sub-options can include upgrading the landscaping on the site, placing a plaque to
commemorate the site as an historic entry into the City, and more.

Single-Use Plastic Bag Ban
Receives First Reading
The Pacific Grove city Council at its Wednesday, August 6 meeting heard a first
reading of an ordinance that would ban single-use, plastic carryout bags to customers
of all sales outlets, stores, shops, vehicles or other places of business within the City
limits. Restaurants would be exempt, as well as prepared food sold at grocery stores and
convenience stores’ food counters. Also exempt would be bags up to 11” x 17”, without
handles, meant to transport produce, bulk food, or meat within a store or to separate
food or merchandise from other food or merchandise wht placed together in another
bag. Plastic bags meant to protect ice cream would be exempt as well. Pharmacy bags
meant to hold prescription medicine would also be exempt.
The ordinance defines “reusable bag” as any bag with handles that is designed and
manufactured for multiple use, It must be made of cloth or other washable woven fabric
or made of a durable material at leat 4.0 mils thick that can be cleaned or disinfected at
least 125 times. It could be made of recyclable plastic (e.g. high density polyethylene,
low density polyethylene, or polypropylene).
The ordinance includes contractors and special events promoters or their vendors.
The new ordinance states that a 10-cent fee will be charged for each single-use
paper carryout bag provided to customers, and requires that records be kept by retail
establishments so that the City’s Community Development Director can review the effectiveness of the regulation. Such paper bags will have to contain at least 40 percent
post-consumer recycled paper fiber and be eligible to be recycled in Pacific Grove.
The City will deliver a copy of the ordinance to each retail establishment and will
also provide the text of a placard designed to advise shoppers of the new policy. The
ordinance is set to take effect 120 days after the second reading to give retailers time
to use up their current stock of plastic bags.

A woman reported withdrawing $100 cash from her bank ATM. When she
noticed a shirtless man nearby, she became uneasy and got in her car and drove

account so it appears someone took it. They’re checking surveillance video.
The ol’ jury duty scam

Do You Accept Who You Are?
Local Gossip
Heard Over the Back Fence
A certain high flying Pixie is back in rehab ~AGAIN~ seems she just
can’t stay off the fairy dust. Is it that shadow-chasing “Lost Boy” she hangs
out with that keeps getting her into trouble?
e
What AZURE hued Fairy has been seen flying nightly thru the window of
an Italian puppet maker? There’s no strings to hold her down, so why all the
secrecy?
e
How did those three Porcine architects get those Straw, Stick and Brick
houses built so quick? Permits and water allotment should’ve taken months!
Were those hams greasing certain wheels to bring home the bacon?
e
Princess Fiona of Far-Far Away misses Another evening event! The beautiful Princess needs her beauty sleep, sure, but so soon after sunset?
e
A spicy confection was seen whooping it up at another of the Mad Hatter
and White Rabbit’s ‘tea’ parties the other night. He got so out of hand, Lord
Farquaad’s guards got to test out that whole “You can’t catch me.” boast.
Looks like they nabbed the party boy, too. That’s the way that cookie crumbles.
WEDDINGS:
Lord Farquaad has decided to settle
down. The Duke of Duloc has decided to take as his bride Princess
Fiona of Far Far Away. He and the
lucky lady have never met and he
intends to ‘spring’ the proposal on the
Princess when he bravely...sends
someone else to rescue her from her
tower prison. All knights interested in
this quest may audition at the Parade
Ground on Saturday.
Please bring armor, sword and
lance along with headshot, resume
and two references to the Golden
Bough, on Monte Verde between 8th
and 9th, Carmel, August 15 through
September 29.

Back to School “Protection”
with Moore’s Martial Arts Studio
Pierre Joubert has been a devotee of martial arts for over 20 years now, starting at 5 years old. He is now the owner of Moore’s Martial Arts in Pacific Grove.
Celebrating more than three years now in his studio located at 157 Fountain (just
across from the library), Pierre is teaching the principles of self-defense to a
variety of students from around the globe. His basic principles embody posture,
movement and structure for the needs of the student, be they child, adult or an
elder with limited physical movement. He caters his classes with the ‘Mind and
Body’ relationship to each individual and their level of experience and ability.
This family-owned business offers classes Mon.-Thur. 4:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
for 4-7year-olds, 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. for 7-12 year-olds, teens Tues., Thur.
And Fri. 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. and adults Mon., Wed. and Fri. 7-8 p.m. Moore’s
is offering a free uniform with their “back to school special” now through
September 2014.
Some of the principles and behaviors that black belts Pierre and his wife
teach to the younger group of children are about current life situations such as
bullying, kidnapping, and what to look for in a predator. They encourage praise
and positive reinforcement of respect and consideration of others. The studio
offers individualized programs and private lessons as well, and many families
join to be prepared in case of life-and-death situations that can happen to anyone. “Better to be prepared and feel confident about your security,” says Pierre.
“We have students from 3 years-old to 64, so we customize all our classes for
all levels of student.”
Stop by or call Pierre at 831-915-5838, or visit Moore’s, located at 157
Fountain in Pacific Grove.
Rabia Erduman
Self discovery
We live in a world where judgment
rules. From the day you were born, your
parents, grandparents expected you to
be a certain way. “Good girl / bad girl good boy / bad boy.” “You should do it
this way.” “You shouldn’t be like this.”
“Your dad won’t like it if you wear these
clothes.” “Your mom will be upset if
your hair is not straight.” As a child,
growing up, the shoulds and shouldn’t
you keep hearing every day create confusion and you start contracting, closing
down your heart.
Then, school starts. A whole
set of expectations, shoulds get dumped
on your lap. Nobody asks you what you
would like, how you feel about what is
expected of you. Instead, everybody is
expecting you to do your homework perfectly, get all As, do everything in school
the way you’re “supposed” to do, be the
kid you’re “supposed” to be.
Growing up in this culture
is not fun, it’s the opposite. One day
something good has happened, and
you’re happy, jumping up and down
with enthusiasm. A stern looking adult
approaches you and asks, “What do you
have to be happy about?” Another time
you’re sad, crying, because your best
friend in school moved away to another
town. Your teacher, your mother, your
father approach you and tell you to stop
crying. “It’s not that bad.”
First, you start getting used to
being judged in big and small ways all
the time. Then, you keep expecting it.
When this becomes a habit, you develop
your own Inner Judge, who is judging
you as well as others. Tension is building
inside you, and after some years it starts
affecting your body.
The good news is that today, as
an Adult, you don’t have to stay stuck in
this way of life. You can now choose to
open up and receive the forgotten word
“Accepting What Is.” Accepting what is
begins with accepting yourself first. This
includes the knowing that you are not
perfect - nobody is, and nobody is supposed to be. You say to yourself: “This is
my life. I accept myself exactly as I am,
knowing that I will make mistakes. Now
in my life I’m choosing to learn from my
mistakes.”
You are now learning to accept
your thoughts, emotions. One day you
are feeling afraid. You are acknowledging the fear and saying to yourself: “I am
choosing to accept this fear.” Something
deep inside you, your Nervous System,
starts relaxing. Because all these years
the Subconscious Mind had gotten used
to being judged and criticized, your
Nervous System contracted inside you,
expecting the “should”, the “no.” It
takes a while for it to let go of the old
habit and open up to the new possibility
- accepting what is, the “yes.” You start
breathing more deeply, allowing yourself
to sink into accepting yourself as you
are.
As you start getting used
to self-acceptance, accepting others
becomes the next step. Now you can
separate who they are from what they do
- being versus behavior. You know that
who they are is fully acceptable. You
also know that as human beings, we are
not supposed to be perfect in our behavior, it is natural to make mistakes. Let’s
say that you are going to have dinner
with a friend, and he/she is late. You are
accepting your friend for who she/he is,
you are also accepting that being late is
a mistake. From this state of acceptance,
you and your friend can have a lovely
conversation during the dinner about
how to support each other, create win/
win solutions.
Accepting what is allows you
to live your life in a more joyful and
relaxed way.

‘The Seniority’ Looks
at Life’s Third Act
When three creative women turn a dilapidated sorority house into their own
“seniority,” it opens the door to fresh ways of living, connecting and staying
independent in retirement.
That’s the premise of “The Seniority,” a stage production that takes a
lighthearted look at aging and life’s “third act.” “The Seniority” introduces
the idea of a “village” where people collaborate to define their own needs and
make health care decisions as they age. Vi, the play’s main character, explores
how and where she will live in her later years, and she reflects upon who will
provide care and whether she can succeed alone. She does not want to grow
old by herself, dependent upon friends until health challenges force her into a
nursing facility or a child’s home, and her village concept puts a creative spin
on choices available to people entering the next stages of life.
“I love this story, and these are such fun characters who are trying to show
us how to be separate, yet connected,” says Cindy Gum, the playwright and
CCA Healing Through the Arts committee chair. “The play is full of ideas and
many situations that families of all ages are thinking about and facing. Audience
members will find themselves inspired to participate in a spirited discussion
after these performances.”
Gum, a licensed marriage and family therapist, also penned the past CCA
productions “Call 911,” “Legacy,” and “Exit Strategy.”
“The Seniority” is directed by actress and director Mary Spence, who has
worked with the Arizona Shakespeare Festival (AzShakes), Phoenix Fringe Festival, Carl Cherry Center for the Arts and Magic Circle Theatre, among others.
Four accomplished actors from the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas theatrical
communities star in the production: Carol Daly, Chris Fitz, Judy Peiken and
Deirdre McCauley.
“The writer, director and cast bring thoughtful perspectives to the challenging topics addressed in this production. Our goal is to encourage families to start
their own conversations about matters related to aging, health care and living
fully at all stages of life,” says CCA Board President Mary Brusuelas.
“The Seniority” will play Tuesday, August 12 at 6:00 p.m. for one night
only, at Canterbury Woods, 650 Sinex Ave., Pacific Grove. The playwright
and cast will be available for discussion following the performance.

CSUMB’s Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute (OLLI) brings 50-and-better
folks back to school
What do Tolstoy, local government and the California condor have
in common?
They are among the classes that
will be offered this semester through
the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
– OLLI – at California State University, Monterey Bay.
OLLI resumes this fall for its
eighth year with a diverse range of
courses and speakers specifically for
those 50 and better.
OLLI at CSU Monterey Bay,
with support from the Bernard Osher Foundation, is part of a national

natural wonders of the Monterey
Peninsula; immigration – a cinematic
view; the history of California painting; and an introduction to the art of
three-dimensional sculpting.
New this year is a four-session
course on wine appreciation taught
by Calvin Wilkes, who, along with
his wife, Michele, owns Fifi’s Bistro
Café and wine store in Pacific Grove.
Also new is a class by bioethicist and
futurist Linda MacDonald Glenn that
examines what the next 100 years
will look like.
Former Assemblymember Fred
Keeley is back with a three-session
class, New Rules, New Strategies –
the California General Election, that
will take a look at the candidates and
measures on the ballot and analyze
the results.
Also offered is a Distinguished
Lecture Series, including a talk by
astronaut Stephen Frick, and a look
at the struggle between Russia and
Ukraine. Local author workshops
explore humor writing with Jeffrey
Whitmore and developing personal
stories with Aimee Suzara.

Animal Tales and
Other Random Thoughts
I Never Met A Man I Didn’t Like
I first saw Will 30 years ago at the wedding of our son, Jay and his bride Denise.
I am sure I noticed him because he was having an exuberant time as were most of the
hordes of young people who attended the reception. I cannot recall, however, when we
first connected. Perhaps it was at a performance at MPC when he appeared in “Oklahoma” as Will, wielding a rope, singing, dancing and exuding charm. Later there were
more plays and remarkable portrayals. We were hooked. One day when I was working
at the SPCA Benefit Shop on Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove in walked a young man
who looked very familiar. We started talking and I found that he was the young actor,
friend of my son’s, whose career we had been following.
A friendship was melded at that point. He lived in Monterey, where he had resided
since his family had moved from Illinois. He was attending MPC and attempting to
make a living in a variety of ways.He appeared at birthday parties as a clown, a roper
and creator of balloon animals. He could be seen at various eateries that catered to
children, but his love was the stage and he appeared in as many productions as possible
that could used his talent. As is the case with many young thespians hoping for success,
he had no money. I saw him quite regularly and became very fond of him. It is no secret
that I really love young people and aspiring artists are my inspiration. I helped him in
every way possible, finding appropriate clothing, particularly shoes for the venues for
which they were needed. He was the host of a children’s program on Fox at KCBA.
Then along came “Will Rogers Follies.” John and I went to San Francisco for the
performance with Keith Carradine. It was fantastic and we were sorry we couldn’t see
it again, but attempts for future tickets were to no avail -- it was sold out. Time went
by, I saw Will at the shop weekly, as he would come in simply to visit, we became very
good friends. He was excited, he had landed the role of Will Rogers in our favorite
show which was being presented at The Western Stage at Hartnell College. We went
the moment it opened and returned with Ann and Andy Simpson for another. Ann and
Andy were so impressed that they saw the show in New York with Mac Davis. We all
agreed that Will Roberts was every bit as good as Carradine and Davis (great accolades
as we really loved those performers). That was in the middle ’90s.
I never saw him again. I ran into mutual friends and other actors who simply said
he had moved to Las Vegas. A few weeks ago I was reading the Herald and there was a
story about Will Roberts, who was performing for the benefit performance of “Oklahoma
“at MPC. I looked at the picture and it was, indeed, “my Will.” We already had tickets
and arrived at the theater early for the dinner in the amphitheater. Who should greet us
as we went up the walk, but Will. We embraced, talked when we could and watched him
perform. His history warms my heart. It is so rare that these young, talented local stars
“make it”, but he did and with great aplomb. He was a featured performer at Cirque de
Soleil for almost three years where “he brought the Western Arts of trick roping, gun
spinning and whip cracking alive with his highly interactive and fast paced performance.
He creates a visually stunning entertainment spectacle infused with his down-home
humor that is customized to the themes of an event. He has been featured on stages
and venues throughout the world.” He is a modern day Will Rogers, an incarnation as
it were. Rogers said “Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers” and “I joked
about many prominent men of my time, but I never met a man I didn’t like.” Our Will
says “Congress is now on a five-week recess. So they can continue doing NOTHING!
That gives me an idea! Time for an EXTREME MAKE OVER! While they’re gone,
we replace them with people that work and the part where they say “Move that bus!”
When they come back we make sure they’re UNDER IT!” He is performing at Jackson
Hole right now. He lives (when he has time to be at home) in Hollywood with his wife
and two children. I would like to say more; however, would like to show you some
pictures. If you want to learn more about Will, go to WillSays.com or Will Roberts
America’s Favorite Cowboy Humorist on Facebook We will look forward to seeing
our favorite cowboy sometime in the near future
For the record, “Oklahoma” at MPC was spectacular. We must do what we can to
save this valuable asset that produces such stars. [email protected] or 649-0657

Moving The Things
On a recent visit, the landlord mentioned
that possible changes might lie on the horizon
for us tenants. While he indicated that nothing
was definite yet, I recognized and appreciated
an early heads-up sign.
As a lifelong renter, I’ve learned that any
foreshadow of an impending move can simplify
future planning, finances and logistics. But discretion is paramount. If The Things hear about
the move, they can get overly excited.
The clothes will start rocking in the closet, swaying back and forth and swinging

like peasants at a picnic. The belts slap the door like a fistful of eels.
Out in the apartment, objects stir and creak, straining to leave this place behind:
chairs, bookshelves, lamps; a couch, a desk, a table. It’s practically Disneyesque. The
faux Afghan rug flutters like a faint heart. Wastebaskets do-si-do across the floor. Drawers open and close with the woody creak of berimbaus. Pictures rattle on the walls, and
the records sing in their sleeves.
I can tell when word has gotten out, because the records always sing the same
song. It’s the Beatles hit “Something.” Or their version, anyway: “Something in the
way you move me, moves me like no other mover . . . don’t wanna leave you now,
don’t wanna hear you howl. . . . “
I regret word may have leaked again, because I caught them singing when I got
off work the other evening.
“So you want to move?” I cried, bursting through the door. That silenced the records, but the wastebaskets were slow reeling back to their places, and the chairs and
table kept square dancing.
“Who wants to move to the Last Chance Emporium?!” I barked. That quieted the
furniture, but I could still hear the clothes, belts and shoes rocking out in the closet.
“Who wants to move to Yellow Brick Road?” I scowled, flinging open the closet
door. That shut them up. I whirled to face an ugly brute of a recliner chair that had
given me trouble in the past.
“Who wants to move back to Goodwill?” I challenged, squaring off. The chair
is bigger, but I’m meaner – especially at moving time. It rocked abjectly back into
its corner. “Salvation Army?” I said next. The couch sagged a little more, and the air
around it filled with dust motes. “Do I hear St. Vincent de Paul?”
I stood panting in the center of the apartment. The Things and I had reached our
usual standoff: they happy because they were moving again; I bitter because I would
have to move them.
“None of you is indispensible, you know!” I lectured. But even as I stared them
down, The Things smirked and traded glances. They knew the real score: I’ve been
their prisoner for years.
As I contemplate my 48th lifetime move, I’m forced to admit The Things are still
grimly in control. Many people feel the trauma of moving is about leaving an old,
comfortable place and going to a strange new one, but I disagree. The trauma comes
from moving The Things.
Where do they hide between moves? I mean, you have your little room set up –
clothes folded here, pictures hung there, a few books on a shelf, a chair or two awaiting
a visitor, a bed, a mirror, maybe some music. In your mind, it’s austere as a monk’s cell.
Then you have to move, and a wall of boxes forms as high as The Pyrenees.
This prompts disdain from more highly evolved people whose entire earthly possessions fit into the boot of a Morris Mini. “You have sooooo much stuff!” they observe.
“Why don’t you lighten up your life a little?”
Actually, I have gotten better, though it might not be apparent. When I was young
and married, we had a half-ton stereo system that could be heard on Mars. We had a
“California King” bed, matching armchairs and couches, a dining room set, a washer
and dryer, a television, a piano, dishes that matched and croquet mallets that didn’t.
We needed an entire house just to house The Things.
Older and much weaker now, I try to exercise prudence. Tables should be collapsible; beds inflatable; chairs, lamps, art works and décor elements portable with one
hand. Music and books should be borrowed from the library and promptly returned.
All non-essentials should be donated.
So where did all these other Things come from? The three sets of elephant bookends, the guitar and bongo drums, the shelves full of extra blankets, towels and linens?
The pantry crowded with dishes, glasses, cutlery and cookware? How did these drawers
fill up with headphones and random electronics? Why do I have a closet full of thrift
store clothes? And why do they keep following me around?
I tell you, Things have no sense at all.

The Bar Exam – 10 Years Later
Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.
Travis H. Long, CPA
Planning for
Each Generation
Last week marked the 10th anniversary of the one and only time I sat for
the California Bar Exam. It was on my
mind because a friend of mine was going
through the process for the first time. I
thought about the stress she must be going
through. The nervousness of checking into
the hotel the night before, hoping that your
laptop will work properly throughout the
3-day exam, and trying not to let anybody
else’s panic attacks affect your concentration or your “confidence’ (authentic or
manufactured).
In the summer of 2004, as I was ramping up my Bar preparation, I wondered
why I had chosen this profession. Didn’t
I know about the Bar Exam prior to applying for law school? Why did I choose
to subject myself to this ultimate test? Of
course, during the law school application
process, I was aware that after law school I
was going to have to endure the “big test.”
I remember the pressure Tom Cruise’s
character felt while taking the Bar Exam in
“The Firm” and the stories about JFK, Jr.’s
multiple struggles with the New York Bar
Exam. I didn’t appreciate the magnitude
of the Exam until the end of my third year
of law school.
Three days. Eighteen hours. Fourteen
subjects. Common law. Current law in the
majority of jurisdictions. Current law in
the minority of jurisdictions. California
law. Twelve hours of essay questions.
Six hours of multiple choice questions. 39
percent pass rate. Three years of intense
law school was largely Bar Exam preparation on its own. However, immediately
after law school graduation, a summer
of intense Bar Exam preparation begins
where your only occupation is to hone
yourself into a lean, mean, Bar Examtaking-machine.
About halfway through the third year
of law school, the first “freak-out” begins.
Students start discussing the fact that the
California Bar Exam is often considered
the hardest Bar Exam in the Country. Research is conducted in a desperate attempt
to try to determine what state has the “easi-
Travis on Taxes
est” Bar Exam. People start considering
living in states they never imagined before
contemplating the big, bad test. A rumor
started spreading throughout the halls of
UC Davis that if we had simply gone to
law school in Wisconsin and decided to
practice there, the Wisconsin Bar waives
its Bar Exam requirement. We wondered
aloud why we didn’t know about this fact
when we entered law school. Would we
have chosen Wisconsin over UC Davis?
I’m a Packers fan – I could be happy living in the Dairy State, eating cheese and
rooting for the Pack. Of course, when
we started floating the idea of living in
these random states with our families and
significant others, they thought we had
lost our minds!
In the midst of the Bar Exam prep,
after law school graduation and prior to
taking the exam, the second freak-out
begins. Students start discussing the fact
that if all else fails, we still have our law
degrees. Research begins on what careers
are possible for those with law degrees
but without an actual license to practice
law. A book is passed around entitled,
“Top Non-Lawyer Careers for Lawyers.”
When we started floating this idea of not
actually practicing law to our families and
significant others, they again thought we
had lost our minds!
I took the Bar Exam at the Sacramento
Convention Center at the end of July 2004.
One week later, I got married in the chapel
of my undergraduate alma mater, Saint
Michael’s College, in Vermont. The next
week, my wife and I had our honeymoon
in Hawaii. A few weeks later, I started
working for a law firm in Salinas as a
clerk while I awaited the results of the
Bar Exam. It is not until the week before
Thanksgiving that we find out whether we
are lawyers or whether we need to start
preparing for the February Bar Exam to
give the whole thing a second try – you
can’t take it in parts! On a Friday, at 6:00
pm, we are able to login and check our

New, Friendlier Option for Foreign Bank
Account Disclosure
www.KrasaLaw.com • [email protected]
In July, a few new and more attractive
options became available for taxpayers that
have accounts in foreign countries that they
have not reported. Taxpayers with over
$10,000 in aggregate in bank or financial
securities accounts (or even just signature
authority on someone else's account) established outside the United States have
a requirement to report these accounts to
the United States Treasury Department
by electronically filing Financial Bank
Account Reporting (FBAR) Form FinCen
114 by June 30th each year. In addition,
there is a requirement to report any related
income on your tax returns and possibly
file another reporting form (Form 8938)
with your tax returns as well.
These requirements do not just apply
to rich people who establish accounts overseas to "hide" money and not pay taxes.
If you are simply residing in the U.S. as
defined by U.S. tax law and file tax returns
as a resident, these requirements apply to
you. Many foreigners residing in the U.S.,
or people with roots in foreign countries
from years ago that still maintain bank
accounts in another country do not realize this applies to them. It also applies to
U.S. taxpayers residing outside the United
States - such as U.S. citizens or green card
holders.
The mission, as stated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in the
Treasury Department is, "to safeguard
the financial system from illicit use and
combat money laundering and promote
national security through the collection,
analysis, and dissemination of financial
intelligence and strategic use of financial
authorities."
The stated penalties for failure to comply are massive by most people's standards.
If you are caught before coming forward
on you own, and it becomes apparent
you were aware of the requirement but
specifically chose not to report, or even if
you were not aware, but it is apparent you
purposely did not take reasonable steps
given your circumstances to find out (willful blindness), the penalty is the greater
of $100,000 or 50 percent of the account
balance and possible criminal prosecution.
Even a truly non-willful situation (i.e. I had
no idea I had to file) carries a $10,000 PER
violation penalty if caught.
The IRS has had several voluntary
disclosure programs over the past few
years to help people come clean. The most
recent program (2012 Offshore Voluntary
Disclosure Program - OVDP), carried with
it a hefty penalty - conceding 27.5 percent
of the account balance on top of filing eight
years of amended tax returns and paying
past due tax, interest, and penalties on any
income generated for those years. Besides
having minimum tax liabilities that would
keep many people out of the program,
it just seemed like the punishment far
exceeded the crime for those who were
non-willful violators.
The all new Streamlined Domestic
Offshore Procedures and Streamlined
Foreign Offshore Procedures provide a
much more palatable avenue for those
who have non-willful violations. The
new domestic program requires three
years of amended tax returns, six years of
FBARs, signed affidavits attesting to the
non-willful nature, and only a five percent
penalty. The 5 percent is calculated on the
highest aggregate year-end balance of your
accounts during the past six years. For
U.S. taxpayers living abroad the foreign
program is similar but does not even have
a 5 percent penalty! For situations that
could be deemed willful, the 2012 OVDP
program is still available as well.
I have been involved with both the
2012 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program and now the new Streamlined Domestic Offshore Procedures program with
clients, and it definitely feels like this new
program is a good option for people with
non-willful violations who want a greater
sense of closure. For people who still
cannot stomach the idea of giving up five
percent, there are other possible options to
discuss which are better than doing nothing and continuing to be non-compliant. If

Scene 4: Richard and Emily’s Wedding Night
your diaper the day you came home from the hospital, he leaned over to see how
she did it, and you initiated him into fatherhood by urinating on his face!
Bernard Furman
Marriage Can Be Funny
R: I don’t recall doing it on purpose.
E: Who was the big bald guy with a goatee?
R: My first cousin, Sammy.
E: I don’t think he’s a very good friend of yours.
It’s 3 a.m. on their wedding night, and Richard and Emily have just entered the
bridal suite at the Monterey Marriott Hotel.
Richard: What a night! The best party ever, but I’m glad it’s over.
Emily: I’m not. I loved every second, and wished it would go on forever.
R: You looked stunning, sweetheart. No wonder every man there wanted to dance
with you.
E: I think half of them did; and half of those, stepped on my toes…..God it feels good
to take my shoes off! I think I lost all feeling in my feet hours ago.
R: Who was the guy who kept cutting in and making you do deep dips?
E: That’s my mother’s brother, Uncle Jake. He believes he’s a great dancer and loves
to show off.
R: I think he’s a menace. It looked like he was going to break your back!
E: It wasn’t as bad as it seemed, because his right hand provided support for my back
as he bent me over.
R: Watching you whirl around the floor with him, I was reminded of what they used
to say about Ginger Rogers’ dance partnership with Fred Astaire.
E: What was that?
R: While he got most of the credit, the fact was that not only was she doing everything
he did, but she was doing it in high heels and backwards.
E: Thanks for the compliment, honey….. You did a lot of dancing, too.
R: I surely did. It seemed like it was mostly with little old ladies.
E: You looked so handsome in your tux! You should wear it more often.
R: Fine with me, every time we get married……What did you think of my father’s toast?
E: The poem was silly, though the line about a Rolls Royce or Bentley at our door got
laughs, but the rest of it was very good.
R: My Mom gets the credit for that. She said he could recite the poem, provided that
he did so as an introduction to a traditional toast.
E: I loved his stories about you, especially the one where your mother was changing
R: Why do you say that?
E: He kept coming over to me and whispering in my ear, “You’re too good for him!”
every half hour or so.
R: We’ve always been very competitive and he was not only half -looped, but also
miffed at the idea I had married a beautiful woman far beyond his reach.
E: You say the nicest things, Richard. I think I’ll keep you.
R: Toward the end of the evening, I felt like the male equivalent of Don Corleone’s
daughter in the opening scenes of “Godfather I.”
E: Why was that?
R: People kept coming over to me and putting envelopes in my pockets.
(Forty-five minutes later, Emily is in bed. Richard is in a bathrobe, sitting at a small
table on which there are several stacks of envelopes.)
E: Richard, what in heaven’s name are you doing over there? Come to bed!
R: I can’t, Em. We have to get up early so as to be at the Monterey Airport in time
for our flight to San Francisco, where we connect to Air France for Marseilles. It
makes no sense to tote all these checks on our honeymoon, so I need to endorse
them for deposit to our checking account at Wells Fargo in order that I can bring
them to their local branch here before we leave.
E: How long is that going to take you? It’s already after four in the morning.
R: I really don’t know, honey, because at the same time, I’ll be making the list your
father asked for of names and amounts, so he knows how to reciprocate when it’s
his turn to make a gift. Why don’t you go to sleep and I’ll join you as soon as I can?
E: ARE YOU CRAZY? It may or may not be too late for some torrid lovemaking,
although I wouldn’t say impossible, but do you really expect me to go to sleep
alone on my wedding night?
R: Be reasonable, sweetheart. If I go to bed now there won’t be time to do this in the
morning, or I’ll be too groggy to do it then. It’s not like we haven’t slept together
many times before.
E: I’m clearly not getting through to you, Richard. Regardless of what came before,
this is my wedding night and I want you to treat me as your bride.
R: So what do we do about the checks and list?

there is any chance that a willful case could be made, I would also advise you to keep
conversations with your accountant hypothetical and broad until you are connected
with the right attorney who specializes in this area. Communications with attorneys
are privileged, whereas communications with accountants, although confidential, are
not generally privileged until the attorney hires the accountant directly. In two weeks
I will discuss this concept in more detail.

results. The results would become public
that Sunday. A friend of mine from the
Salinas law firm was also waiting for his
results. We went home early that day, set
up our computers, and waited.
At 6:00 pm, with my wife and father
beside me, I logged on. Of course the site
was busy and I had to constantly refresh
the page. Finally the results were available. In my panic, I misread the results!
I thought it said: “The name above does
not appear on the pass list.” I remember
saying, “Oh no! Too Bad!” Then my wife
read it and said, “No, it says you passed!”
It actually read: “The name above appears
on the pass list.” Hooray! Just to be sure,
I printed the message about a dozen times.
My friend and I still needed to be sworn-in.
A close family friend and mentor,
Judge Albert Maldonado, swore us in at a
special ceremony held at the law firm in
Salinas. We then had to mail our oath to
the State Bar. I remember we were very
nervous about the Post Office failing to
deliver our oath. We must have put about
three times the necessary postage just to be
sure! Necessary or not, it worked and we
officially obtained our license to practice
law in November 2004.
Ten years later, the Bar Exam is a
distant memory. It does seem silly now to
think about random states in which to live
or alternate career paths simply to avoid
the big test. When studying for the Bar, I
told myself that if I passed the first time,
I would never look down upon anybody
who didn’t pass the first time (or the second or third or fourth time, etc.) and I still
don’t. It’s as much about test-taking ability and being “on” for those three days as
it is about knowing and applying the law.
Although it’s a lot of pressure, it’s
also a rite of passage. Now that the Bar
Exam is in my rear view window, I am
glad that I did not opt for the “Wisconsin
plan” of skipping the Bar Exam altogether
as I am happy to have had that experience. Of course, it’s easy for me to say
that now, though I certainly understand
the angst that this year’s Bar Exam takers
experienced. (I never did find out whether
the rumors about being able to skip the
Wisconsin Bar were actually true. I guess
once I passed the Bar, that stuff didn’t
matter anymore!)
November will mark my 10th year
of happily practicing law. Last February
was the 5th anniversary of my own law
firm. Enduring law school and the Bar
Exam has certainly paid dividends! I
look forward to the next wave of freshlyminted lawyers to have their efforts
rewarded as well.

E: Very simple. In the closet you’ll find a laundry bag, into which you can put all the
checks. First thing after we get up, I’ll call my mother and ask her to hightail it
over here from Pebble Beach so as to meet us before we have to leave. We’ll give
her the bag and she’ll endorse the checks for deposit to our account, make the list,
and go to the bank. Now come to bed!
R: Yes, sir.
