on Sunset. An eighth grade girl on her way to soccer
practice had run from the residential side of Sunset,
running from between parked cars and mid-block, and

she remained overnight.
The helicopter landed in the middle of Sunset and

By Dixie Layne
More than 30 interested residents and business owners attended the “Outdoor
Dining Workshop” hosted by the City and facilitated by Mark Brodeur, Pacific
Grove’s new Director of Community and Economic Development. Brodeur’s experience in city planning, zoning, and development was on display as he presented
the City’s draft plan for outdoor dining and the results of the outdoor dining online
survey.
He answered questions, and solicited comments and ideas all the while maintaining a civil discourse among the diverse views exhibited from the attendees. Stephanie Locke of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District stopped by for a
moment to ensure all present that the District would be monitoring water usage for
increases related to Pacific Grove’s out door dining areas; she confirmed they would
also be doing the same for Monterey.
The draft plan presented by Brodeur was the same plan as presented to City
Council (see Cedar Street Times dated Sept 19, 2014). The primary areas of the plan
that incited discussion were the use of affixed barriers around outdoor dining areas,
losing parking spaces to parklets, outdoor dining tables and chairs without designated
areas obstructing pedestrians’ thoroughfare, and the requirement for the Planning
Commission to approve all outdoor dining permit requests. The approval process
solicited the most unified and strong sentiment on using the Planning Commission to
approve out door dining permits and seemed to be based on attendees' past experiences with general over-the-counter permit approval process with a City code that is
“loose,” leaving too much to interpretation. Areas of the draft plan covering design
standards that solicited less conversation were the implementation of fees for permits
(fee schedules for Monterey, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara were reviewed), types of
allowable furnishings, height of barriers, placement of outdoor dining next to buildings only – these concepts contained in the draft plan were all recognized as reasonable and agreeable.
Brodeur shared the results of the online survey input as of that morning. The
online survey is available the City’s website for input for another two weeks. Some
of the preliminary results of the 349 surveys completed show 96 percent approve of
sidewalk cafes; 73 percent do not want a fence required of outdoor dining spaces; 78
percent would not require the removal of furnishings each night; 92 percent approve
of the use of umbrellas and heaters; 82 percent would like to see parklets downtown.
Complete up to date results of the survey with respondents’ comments can currently
be found on the City’s website.
Brodeur will present the outdoor dining plan, including final results of the survey
and public workshops, to City Council mid-November.

Purchases Ford for taxi
While M. W. Hoffman has a couple of cars used as last year’s stock on hand, these
were not the auto mobile desired by J. J. Selby. Selby wanted his car to double as a
taxi. Mr. Hoffman therefore got out his book and a particularly heavy-duty rig was
placed on order.* Two months later that car has arrived in San Francisco. Yesterday,
Mr. Selby departed by train for the big city to take delivery of the auto mobile. The car
will be driven back to the Grove. Mr. Selby hopes to be in the business of running a
taxi within the week. For the entire month of October, rides can be gained at half price.
Selby guarantees that no horse pulling a buggy will arrive at your door. Never ridden
in an auto mobile? Telephone Selby! 1
Auto mobile accident
Dr. E. K. Abbott and companions were injured in an auto mobile accident that
occurred near the Pinnacles this weekend. Fortunately, no serious consequences are
probable. Abbott ran into a vehicle operated by a Mr. Campbell, who is registered as
a guest at the Del Monte Hotel. Campbell is a wealthy Scotchman, visiting locally,
who escaped unhurt. Abbott had decided to view the Pinnacles, accompanied by Harry
Green and D. Cliff in order to try out his newly purchased car. Near their destination,
Abbott—a novice driver—lost control of his auto mobile while negotiating a curve.
His vehicle struck the borrowed vehicle driven by Campbell, then veered off the road.
Minor cuts and abrasions were suffered by all, except Dr. Abbott. Abbott also suffered
additionally from nervous shock. No attempt has yet been made to return the Abbott
car to its home. The car was reported as badly damaged.

Fred Young, a wealthy Englishman, has spent the past few months in Mexico City
in close proximity of Dictator Huerta. Recently, Young departed the Mexican capitol
to take up residence in El Paso. There, Young revealed that he was a journalist-undercover for the Houston Chronicle. Reports that Huerta would resign and go into hiding
are completely bosh, said Young.
“The dictator knows he is on his last legs, but to resign would consign him to
everlasting oblivion,” Young said. “To remain as dictator will assure him a place in
Mexican history. Huerta wants to be known as a big man. However, (Pancho) Villa
has enjoyed victory after victory. Each of the rebel’s victories seems easier than the
one before, but that is not the reason for Huerta’s despondency. The Federalist’s have
simply lost heart, as have the Americans, Huerta believes.”
Young said that Huerta expects the Americans not to throw an army into Mexico.
Museum Director’s meet
The Board of Directors of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History met
Monday evening in a regular session.
Miss Ella Demming offered a full report on the success of the recent Flower
Festival. The $19 revenue is being donated to the building fund, according to Miss
Demming.
Mrs. M. E. Herger noted that a visitor from Chicago, a Mrs. M. C. Blackman, had
donated $10 to the fund, increasing the monthly amount of donations to $29.
Mrs. Woodstock, curator of botany, called for a vote of thanks to the Peninsula
Band, and all others who helped out, for making the Flower Festival a success.
The following names—Miss Ella Lloyd, Mrs. Carrie Carrington, Mrs. James
Cartnow, Mr. John Vannorden, and Mrs. T. Cooke Smith—were submitted for membership. All were approved.
CLSC banquet coming
The Vincent Circle of the CLSC invites all to a banquet to be offered on Saturday,
next. Persons wishing to participate in this fund raiser can obtain tickets at Sherpa’s
grocery store. Tickets are priced at 50¢ each. Baked chicken or salmon (your choice)
will be the featured entrees, accompanied by an asparagus salad and mixed vegetable.
Beverage and after-dinner sweets are included. The meal is provided by the Pacific
Grove Hotel.

The Knights of Columbus has moved its councils to the Del Monte Hotel, a move
prompted by the large number of participants. Meetings are held on the first and third
Mondays of each month. A smoker is being planned as the next activity. Mayor R. F.
Johnson will be in attendance. The following weekend, a daylong event for families is
on tap. Participants should gather at the Del Monte no later than 9 am. The group will
then travel by street car to Junipero Serra’s landing spot in Monterey. After an hour to
enjoy the vistas, lunch will be served. The cost of $1 per family includes transportation
and meal. Participants will be returned to the Del Monte by 4 pm.

Student Drop-Off Situation
At Robert Down is Deplorabe
Editor:
I implore the city of Pacific Grove and the Pacific Grove Unified School District
to address the student drop-off situation at Robert Down Elementary.
Currently, 3 minute parking is allowed on Pine Avenue in front of the school during
the drop-off and pick-up period, from 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. respectively.
Due to parking being allowed, parents often are forced to stop in the right-hand lane
and double park to allow their children to exit their vehicles. It is akin to the passenger
loading zone at the San Jose International Airport. This is not only a traffic hazard for
motorists on Pine Avenue, but a dangerous situation for young students who have to
get out of a car in the middle of the road.
Occasionally, a police officer will drive-by and encourage parents to not stop
by using their sirens. However, because there is not a better drop-off location for the
school, this does not alleviate the situation.
I encourage the city and the school board to address this situation and to improve
safety for our students and their parents by eliminating parking on Pine Avenue during
the morning drop-off time and building drop-off locations in the back of the school,
similar to ones built last year for the middle school. Our children deserve a safe way
to get to school. Until then, please be careful on Pine Avenue.

Personal Endorsements for
Pacific Grove City Council
Editor:
Criticizing The League of Women Voters is like finding fault with apple pie. But
the format and execution of the candidates’ forum was just so ineffective. I really wish
someone would ask the right questions and cajole serious answers out of the candidates.
As it was, we were left to wonder, read between the lines, and hope for the best.
However, we may have some promising candidates. Of the six running for Council,
here’s why I’m leaning toward these three:
Brian Brooks: Not a very good public speaker yet, but it doesn’t matter. No real action steps proposed, but none of the candidates had any. What counts is what he cares
most about — “Clearing up the city’s financial future and ensuring that we live within
our budget and grow our economy while not increasing taxes or raising city-imposed
fees… encouraging city employee pension reform.” None of the other candidates have
made as clear and concise a statement as Mr. Brooks about what we do need most.
Bill Peake: His top priority is similar, and again, that’s what counts. However, he writes
about our CalPERS obligations without any reference to what a horrible trap CalPERS
is, and without any action steps for how we might free ourselves. Also, Mr. Peake says
he wants to maintain our small-town character. Does that mean he wants to protect us
from the pension monster, or he hopes to mold us into some utopian vision he has…?
Protecting us would be more than enough, thank you.
Incumbent Rudy Fischer: A potential choice to follow Bill Kampe as mayor, but first
he’s got to demonstrate he’s ready to lead us into battle against that pension monster.
He says our finances are in good shape compared to other cities. Does he mean they
are in good shape? Not even close. Mr. Fischer clearly has a lot to offer, so I’m voting
for him again, but I hope he starts talking to us like adults.
I also hope that this and all the election letters encourage more thinking, more
discussing, and most of all, more voting. If there’s anything we should have learned
since 2002, it’s that we need to be extremely vigilant about our councilmembers.

Eagle Scout Project Makes Home Safe
In searching for his Eagle Scout
Project, Alexander Ateshian, a senior at
Stevenson School, wanted to do something that truly made a difference in the
community. He wanted to go beyond
the needs of a church and hillsides that
need bark. While speaking with Jeanie
Gould at the Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Pacific Grove, Alexander
found a project that would truly make a
difference. He was made aware of the
Gateway Center’s Reindollar in Marina.
Gateway Center provides a wide range
of services, including residential care,
for young adults with moderate intellectual disabilities. Reindollar goes beyond
this by providing care for young adults
with some of the most severe intellectual
disabilities in Monterey County. The
home, run by Darren and Wendy Adler,
is truly the only of its kind in Monterey
County. Gateway cannot afford extra
maintenance of the home, so Alexander’s assistance was met with much
appreciation.
Prior to Alexander’s project, Reindollar had a back yard unfit for the
young adults in the home with seizure
and mobility issues that put them at risk
of constantly falling in an uneven yard
dotted with low wooden posts and walls,
with a hard, slippery ground.
This Scout’s project made Reindollar’s play yard more soft than hard by
preparing it for a rubberized foam coating to cushion any falls. The rubber material itself, like that of Tatum’s Garden,
is an $11,000 cost. For his Eagle Project,
Alexander has organized more than 40
volunteers to help prepare for the arrival
of this material. Additionally, he added
drought-resistant trees and plants to
the property and a concrete landing for
the ramp of the home’s handicap van.
He has also received almost $1,800 in
donations and a generous donation of
materials from GraniteRock, worth more
than $1,000.
Alexander would like to thank
GraniteRock and all other contributors

only about 2 percent of those entering
scouting.

Hello Minnesota
Driving back from Lake Tahoe the other day, I caught a National Public Radio
discussion about America’s most congenial cities.
Among the panelists were editors of magazines and websites that do “liveability”
rankings of U.S. locales. As one might imagine, the survey methods and rating criteria
vary widely. Outside Magazine’s list skews toward fitness and recreational options;
Money Magazine’s list is about making money. The Food Network site considers restaurants and farmer’s markets. And so on.
If the lists have anything in common, it is the annual presence among the “top 10”
of at least three municipalities from the upper Midwest. Sure enough, among this year’s
honorees were Madison, Wisconsin and Rochester, Minnesota.
I can’t recall if my travels ever took me through those specific cities, but I did
visit their mother states. Lamentably, my stays in both were very brief. The Wisconsin
itinerary included a sailboat turnaround in Green Bay and a small plane flight to a
lovely rural town with “Apple” in its name. I think the name was Appleton. If not, it
should have been.
The Minnesota visit was equally short-lived, a single April afternoon long ago. I was
on my way to visit relatives in Great Falls, Montana during a collegiate spring break. I
forget the year, but the carrier was Northwest Airlines, the plane was very slow, and it
had a propeller in the front. We stopped in Minneapolis for maintenance.
There being few travelers flying on to Great Falls in those days, the pilot and I
struck up a conversation as we taxied toward the terminal. My recollection is admittedly
suspect all these decades later, but there may have been an open cockpit.
“Nice weather,” I shouted from the passenger seat.
“Ya, you betcha!” he shouted back over his shoulder. “Say, would ya like to see
Minneapolis while you’re here?”
“That’d be great! Do we have time?”
“Ya sure!” He nodded his leather helmet toward one wing, then the other. “Ground
crew’ll need time ta scrape off those mosquitoes. I’ll drive ya home, meet the little lady.”
It was a beautiful spring afternoon. We rode around Minneapolis in the pilot’s red
MG roadster while he talked to his wife over the first CB radio I had ever seen. He
showed me all the sights: Minnehaha Falls, Nicolette Field, the Guthrie Theater, Minnehaha Falls again.
When we reached their modest suburban home, Mrs. Pilot served a rib-stickin’
repast of doughy lefse, wild rice, white bread, “Land O Lakes” butter, fresh snap beans,
Hormel cold cuts, and a lime Jell-O salad with little marshmallows jiggling inside.
“And I know you’ll want to try some of my special lutefisk,” she smiled, pinching
my cheek.
“What’s that?” I asked warily.
“It’s flayed walleye pike fermented in lye,” the old pilot explained proudly. “Caught
it myself when I was your age, ya know. It should be just about ready.”
While pondering my response, I had time to consider Minnesota itself, a remarkable
state by any yardstick. What other state can claim as exports both Spam and F. Scott
Fitzgerald? Both Post-Its and Prince? Both mayonnaise and the Mayo Clinic? And how
‘bout Hamm’s Beer, Scotch Tape, Bob Dylan, Jessica Lange and America’s foremost
storyteller, Garrison Keillor?
Having lived in France and spent many years in Manhattan, Keillor has lost some
of the plangent, slightly Nordic accent of the native Minnesotan (“Ya, you betcha”).
But he still embodies the free-thinking, social reformist point of view that has made
“The Land of 10,000 Lakes” the unofficial conscience of America.
Many Minnesotans actually practice the Founding Father democratic principles
that only rate lip service elsewhere in the country. Decency, fair play, and a set of
forthright ethical opinions are issued each Minnesotan at birth, along with ear muffs
and thermal underwear.
The latter are standard garb in the lower 48’s coldest state, where the temperature
may lurk below zero for weeks at a time, like walleye pike below an ice fishing shack.
The reverse holds true in summer, when I’m told Minnesota offers searing days and
humid, sullen nights that drive its citizens to remote lakeside cabins “up north.” There
they drink Grain Belt beer on their porches and watch the state’s legendary mosquitoes
rise into the moonlight bearing sleeping toddlers away.
Also remarkable is Minnesota’s reputation as a cradle of losing presidential candidates like Harold Stassen, who ran for the nation’s highest office and lost three times.
Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy and Ed Muskie only lost once apiece, but they
were memorable losses.
Of course, Minnesota has winners also – the Vikings, Twins and North Stars now
and then, and such perennial corporate titans as General Mills, General Foods and 3M
Corporation.
To them all I say: “Hello Minnesota! . . . goodbye lutefisk!”

His Name is Jim
October 10, 2014 • CEDAR STREET
John Denver Tribute is a Love Story
Jane Roland
Animal Tales and
Other Random Thoughts
John Denver fans throughout the United States wanted Jim Curry to continue
singing to keep the Colorado songster alive in their memories.
There’s more than meets the eye (and
ear) when tribute artist Jim Curry takes the
stage. When he sings the popular hit songs
of John Denver, this seasoned professional
brings more than talent and charm. He
brings a love story.
Standing by his side, on stage and
off stage, is Jim’s wife of 30 years, Anne.
“Now, I didn’t go looking for someone
named Anne,” Jim chuckles, referring
to the coincidence of John Denver’s first
wife, named Annie. “But I knew that she
could sing and play the guitar, and that really got my attention.” The two started dating. “Most of the time we would just play
guitars and sing John Denver songs,” said
Jim. It was the mid-70s and John Denver
was at the top of the charts with song like
“Sunshine” and “Rocky Mountain High”
Their time together was short-lived,
however, with a life-changing event: “My
Dad retired from the Navy when I was in
the 11th grade,” Jim explained, “At the
end of the school year he moved our entire
family to a little town in Texas, breaking
my heart and tearing me away from Anne
and all my friends in California.”
For five years, Jim lived in Texas.
He pursued his studies in music, and attended college on a Rotary Scholarship for
voice. “Just like John Denver, I found that
playing the guitar and singing was a great
way to make new friends,” Jim said, “but
I still had these feelings for Anne after all
those years, so I left Texas and headed
back to California to see if we could get
back together.” Anne and Jim renewed
their friendship, which inevitably led to
marriage. “Of course, we had a lot of
John Denver’s music in our wedding,” Jim
smiled, “and I got to sing “Annie’s Song”
to her during the ceremony.”
Jim and Anne continued to grow in
their love for each other and their appreciation for John Denver’s music. Between
running a growing sign business and
raising their two sons they still somehow
found the time to learn and perform Denver’s songs. “We always felt that John was
writing songs that were so personal to us,”
said Jim, “His songs about preserving the
environment and living peacefully with
each other were exactly the things Anne
and I were concerned about, and the kind
of message we wanted to pass along to
our children.” The untimely death of John
Denver in a solo plane accident in 1997
added a sense of urgency to their mission,
“We were afraid that the music would be
forgotten,” Jim explained, “But we are
very happy to see the popularity of John
Denver’s music continue to grow.”
Eventually, music became their fulltime career and these days Jim and Anne
travel around the world specializing in
the music of John Denver. “Anne and
I have made our dream into a reality by
supporting each other in what we love to
do the best,” says Jim, “It’s the ultimate
love story.”

*stats from NWS Montereys
Have you ever met a Muppet? Most of us have not. Jim Henson once stated that
the term “Muppet” had been created as a portmanteau from the words “Marionette”
and “puppet.” They debuted on the television program Sam and Friends, which aired
in Washington D.C. from 1955 to 1961 and began appearing on Sesame Street in 1969.
The rest is history; we have loved them over the years, enjoyed the movies and desperately miss the Muppet Show.
Then I met a real live Muppet in the guise of my shirt-tail relative, Jim Dultz, who
is married to my cousin, Ellen Osborne, and lives on the Monterey Peninsula. He was
born in Los Angeles, as he says, “with a marionette puppet in each hand and a cardboard theatre in which I could put on countless puppet shows.” From the age of five,
he was already writing, designing, directing and starring in plays of his own making,
musical comedies, mostly: first with puppets, then with classmates. He produced a
play a semester through all his school years. He attended Art Center and started his
own theatre group, “The Academy Theatre”, where he designed and directed four plays,
producing six, before getting into the film industry. Writing, directing and performing
his plays with puppets led to working on films and television shows with people and,
finally, puppets (what goes around comes around). His career spanned 35 years during
which time he worked as an art director on the films “Flatliners,” Soap Dish,” “Back to
the Future 3” and “What Dreams May Come,” to name a few. He was the production
designer for the TV series “Greg the Bunny” and “Muppets Tonight” (our favorite show
at the time) for which he won an Emmy, and the feature film, “Team America: World
Police” (the biggest marionette movie of all time!) Jim is a member of The Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Art Director’s Guild.
He was and is a volunteer to the core. When he wasn’t working on movies or
television shows, he was donating his time designing sets for local public school plays,
working after school with the students, their parents and craftsmen from the film industry, in elementary, middle and high schools. I first met Jim when he moved to the
Monterey Peninsula. I was immediately captivated and charmed by this delightful
self-effacing man, whose mantra seems to be “give back, teach and encourage” those
who ask. He was, at the time, driving over to Santa Cruz weekly to teach theatre to
autistic children, and visiting long-term nursing facilities with his standard poodle,
Remy, to cheer up the residents. He remained involved in theatre, designing two
plays at the Magic Circle Theatre, “The Exonerated” and “Doubt.” His cartoons have
been published on the covers and inside the issues of The Foolish Times, The Funny
Times and The Monterey Bay Magazine. Jim and Ellen saw our son, Jay DeVine, in
“The Birdcage” and “Avenue Q” and were hooked with his good humor and charisma.
They became friends and Jay performed one “Avenue Q’s” songs in the Golden State
Vaudeville in Monterey, which Jim helped produce, direct and design (along with a
dozen high school and college artists from YAC).
However, these six degrees of separation don’t end there. If you recall, years ago
I wrote about grandson, Justin DeVine, Jay’s son. When he was in high school he
discovered YAC, Youth Arts Collective, run by Marcia Perry and Meg Biddle. Justin
has always been artistic but these two remarkable women were able to nurture these
young people to produce phenomenal art creations. In those days YAC operated on a
shoe-string budget. Alan Shugart and a few others saw the potential of this uniquely
simple and effective approach to self-motivated, desire-based learning and artistic
expression, and donated the start-up funds to make YAC a reality. We watched Justin
and his classmates grow from capable artists into something much greater. What is
more, we saw some of them develop from angry, frustrated human beings into happy,
confident people. I followed this progression as we attended art shows year after year
and watched the development of some of these teenagers. Marcia and Meg’s work
was therapeutic in all respects and they did it because they loved art and loved their
students.
In 2010, Jim took a workshop at YAC led by Erin Gafill and was immediately
drawn in by the vitality and originality of the art on the walls and moved by the honesty
shown in the young artists’ statements. In their own words, they said Meg and Marcia
gave them “inspiration, encouragement, a wonderful space, materials and an inclusive
community to create” and even “they saved my life.” Jim retired from the film industry
in 2011, and was invited to join the board of YAC and is now in his second year as
chairman. Jim believes, with all his heart, that YAC fulfills a need in his community
that is unfulfilled elsewhere.
Justin is now almost 30 years old. He is an artist, married to an artist and, I know,
attributes his success to the ministrations of that remarkable after-school and weekend
program which he enjoyed for so many years. The age was extended to 22 so Justin
and others like him could continue to participate while at community college. Thank
you Jim, thank you for your work on the Muppets and thank you for keeping the arts
alive and well.
Jim loves to travel, draw, write, teach and daydream…long may you dream and
make others’ come true.

Are You Ready to Claim Your Life?
Rabia Erduman
Self discovery
The key to living a fuller life is
understanding and clearing old patterns and self-negating beliefs from the
subconscious. The subconscious mind
is 90% of the mind and doesn’t have
any sense of time. Negative beliefs from
our childhood live in the subconscious
mind, below the radar. We operate with
a fraction of our potential awareness and
creativity, ignoring a vast, unexplored
interior containing the roots of suffering,
and the wellspring of wisdom.
Today, as Adults, we have choices
we didn’t have in our childhood. We
can choose to heal our negative beliefs
and assumptions about ourselves, others, about life. As Adults, we are also
capable of Self-Love - loving who we
are unconditionally, also knowing that
we are going to make mistakes at times.
We are not supposed to be perfect. We
can learn from our mistakes and deepen
our relaxation and joy about this life. Let
yourself step into your adult body, adult
consciousness, put your hand or hands
on your chest, where Love lives, and say
outloud:
“This is my life. I love myself
unconditionally.” Remember, “Love is in
the Air.” Breathe in the Universal Love
from the air, let it spread through you.
Close your eyes and take a few
deep breaths. Get a sense of your life; let
yourself open to the big picture - What
is your mission in this life? What is your
main purpose in this life? Let yourself
see it or feel it. Now to imagine that you
are allowing yourself to fully manifest
your Mission in this life. How does it
feel?
Are you noticing any fears coming up? Any shame, anger, frustration,
sadness? Any sense of not deserving
to have what you want? Even to ask
for what you want! These are feelings,
beliefs from your negative conditioning in childhood. “You should be who
your parents, your teachers want you
to be, not who you really are!” As that
child, you were told all these lies. Now,
as the Adult that you are today, imagine
holding your Inner Child - the wounded
child part of you in your body, and saying to her/him: “I am very sorry that in
the past, when I didn’t exist, you were
rejected for being your true self and
were pushed to fulfill the expectations
of the authority figures back then. Now,
that I am your Adult Self, and you live
in my body, I am here to keep you safe,
protected, and love you unconditionally.
I also love your feelings, your fears,
your shame, your sadness, your anger,
your frustrations, your joy - all of what
you naturally feel as my Inner Child.”
Let your unconditional Love in
your heart and in the air spread to your
Inner Child’s fear, now felt in your body.
When fear is fully accepted and loved, it
transforms into courage, a deep sense of
deserving. Now you know in your cells
that you deserve for your Mission in this
life to become reality.
Are you aware of any shame?
When you accept and love your Inner
Child’s shame, the feeling transforms
into joy, creativity, and your intuition
is more accessible to you. Any anger,
disappointment, frustration? Love these
feelings, and they transform into your
natural power, healthy boundaries as an
Adult today, and your ability to take action so that you can step into your Main
Purpose in this life.
How about sadness? Feeling
sad about having to settle for less as a
child that what you felt within you. Fully
accept and love your Inner Child’s sadness, and it transforms into a deep sense
of trust. Your Wounded Child knows and
feels now that he/she can trust you, and
relax in your adult body, and shifts back
into her/his natural self, the Magical
Child.
And with that, all the doors to have
Main Purpose in this life has become a
reality are open.....

California Challenge Comes to Carmel

Re-Elect
Mayor
Bill Kampe
Business Vitality
We have taken several steps to improve our business climate in
our city. A major step was updating a chart of permitted uses,
stating with greater clarity what is allowed in the various zones.
We also improved our sign ordinance for the downtown to be
more specific and consistent about what is allowed.
17-Mile Drive – (Day 2) Veterans and supporters ride through the Monterey
Peninsula on their way to Carmel on Day 2 of the UnitedHealthcare Ride 2
More than 200 injured veterans and their supporters arrived in Carmel on Monday,
Oct. 6 as part of the UnitedHealthcare Ride 2 Recovery California Challenge, a sevenday, 465-mile bicycle ride along the scenic California coast from the San Francisco
Bay area to Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, Oct. 7, the riders left Big Sur to go to San Simeon. The veterans will
arrive on Oct. 11 at the VA West Los Angeles Medical Center. Ride 2 Recovery provides physical and psychological rehabilitation programs for injured veterans, featuring
cycling as its core activity.
Ride 2 Recovery provides physical and psychological rehabilitation programs
for injured veterans, featuring cycling as its core activity, helping them heal through
the challenge of cycling long distances using hand cycles, recumbents, tandems and
traditional road bikes. For more information, visit www.ride2recovery.com. The public
is encouraged to gather along the daily ride routes to support the cyclists. (Photo Credit:
Tiffini Skuce, Ride 2 Recovery)
More recently, we have experimented with parklets and
outdoor dining. It’s time we now learn the lessons from these
experiments and our new Economic Development Director is
setting out to do just that. In fact, there is an online survey that
our citizens can complete to share their views. You can find the
link on the city website.
The goal is not merely to boost the health of our businesses. It
is also to improve quality of life for our residents — activity on
the street, places to meet, things to do.
I hope to continue the progress we are making, and ask your
support in the coming election. Please vote on Nov. 4!

Arthritis Foundation Announces
2014 Honoree, Tary McConnell
Dave Holodiloff
in Concert at the
Pacific Grove Art
Center
By Alexandra Fallon
Tary McConnell was born with scoliosis which gradually worsened
with spinal fractures during her 40’s and 50’s partially due to her osteopenia and subsequent osteoporosis. She was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, especially evident in her back and hands. Although “possible
auto-immune disease” was mentioned as cartilage disappeared in her
major joints, she wasn’t diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis until 2013.
By then, damage had been done. She has had to undergo many joint replacement surgeries and when a replaced hip dislocated the second time,
she was given a heavy and cumbersome brace to wear, although she
claims it provided her with “a great Halloween costume as a Star Wars
Storm Trooper,” she said.
Tary’s humor and positive outlook have given her the fortitude to
continue to self-educate, and search for solutions to her multi-faceted
arthritic conditions. Her brace was considered to be to be a “lifetime” appliance, however, Tary discovered a great
surgeon, and after revision surgery was once again able to walk without the brace. Later, she was referred to a rheumatologist who diagnosed her RA and vasculitis, which opened up a new world of support and medical treatments
for her.
What she has discovered on this journey is that there are many resources and invaluable support to be had.
“There are wonderful people and always new friends! For me, it’s just a matter of being open to everything.” She is
grateful for each day, and never stops moving.
After her Navy career, Tary McConnell began working with her husband, Jerry, at their now 35 year old,
premier provider of IT services and products, Monterey Computer Corporation, “Though sometimes overwhelmed
with work, I can’t imagine life without my staff and my clients and the technical challenges our business involves.”

Scene 57:
Harry Needs A Haircut
Bernard Furman
Marriage Can Be Funny
Harry and Alice Wilson are seated in the living room of their Pacific Grove home
on a weekday evening, after dinner.
Alice: Harry….
Harry: Yes, dear.
A: I’m looking at your hair.
H: Is it still there?
A: Yes.
H: Thank goodness for that.
A: It’s too long and is curling in the back.
H: As I’ve always said, I don’t care what color my hair is, or how unkempt, or what it
looks like, as long as it stays there.
A: Pretty soon, people will think you’re a homeless person.
H: Have I told you that in four generations, I’m the only male in my family to retain
his hair?
A: Only about five hundred times.
H: My great grandfather was bald, my grandfather was bald, my father is bald, and my
father’s three brothers were all bald.
A: And you believe that you’re the exception because you’ve followed the advice of
your high school gym teacher, given 40 years ago.
H: Absolutely. I’ve told you about him?
A: Only about five hundred times.
H: Well, it’s worth telling again.
A: If you insist. I’m here and have nowhere else to go.
H: Although only 35 years old, he was completely bald except for the fringes, because
of the trauma from a car accident. And because he was self-conscious about it, he
had made a study of baldness.
A: And he told you that baldness resulted from accidents, disease, radiation to combat
certain illnesses, and heredity.
H: And despite the then-prevailing theory that baldness came through the mother’s
genes and was unavoidable, he believed this could be overcome.
A: Through massage.
H: Right. He pointed out to us that except for total baldness attributable to accident,
disease or radiation, there always was a fringe of hair on the sides and in back of
the head. He believed that the reason for this was that the skin was looser in those
areas than on top of the scalp, and blood was therefore able to nourish the hair roots
there, which is why they survived.
A: So his remedy was to massage the scalp in order to stimulate the flow of blood, especially on top, which is what you’ve been doing with an electrical massager every
day of your life since you were seventeen.
H: Correct. But what I don’t think you’re aware of is that recent scientific studies prove
that his theory about blood starvation of the hair roots was absolutely right, for a
reason you’re not going to like to hear.
A: And what pray, is that?
H: Are you ready for this?
A: I’m ready, Freddy.
H: It has now been established that a man’s brain continues to grow long past adolescence, whereas a woman’s brain does not. Therefore, the area between a man’s
brain and his scalp gets more and more compressed, leading to blood starvation , the
resulting death of the hair follicles, and consequent hair loss and baldness.
A: Sounds like baloney to me.
H: And that’s why baldness afflicts men far more often than women, and also explains
why we win all the Nobel prizes.
A: Because your brains are bigger.
H: Right.
A: Even if you’re right, which I doubt, size doesn’t equate with quality, and that’s where
we have it all over you.
H: Dream on, sweetheart.
A: Are you through with your diversionary tactics, so I can get back to my original point?
H: If you insist.
A: I do. You need a haircut; and you should get it done by someone who can style your
hair for you, rather than at a place where you never have the same barber twice, and
all they do for you is cut, rather than cut and shape and style.
H: But they’re cheap.
A: What difference does that make? You have your hair cut so infrequently that the
differential in cost is minuscule when spread over the year.
H: I went to a hair stylist once. He spent 15 minutes on me, and charged $40. I can have
my hair cut at Supercuts for one-third that amount.
A: The problem is that it looks you paid one-third. Don’t forget what you’ve told me
so many times: you get what you pay for.
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.

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 combine 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.

Community Hospital’s Blood Center
seeks donations through mid-October
The Blood Center of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is still seeking volunteers to give blood. Although the need for donated blood in the Monterey area
has declined over the past five years, the Blood Center is in need of blood donations
prior to its scheduled closure mid-October. While almost all blood type donations are
requested, community members with blood type O+ are especially needed.
In early August, Community Hospital announced that its Blood Center will close
on October 16, 2014 due to the lower demand for blood products prompted by advances
in medical science and blood management. Despite the impending closure, blood donations are still needed and interested volunteers have opportunities over the next several
weeks to help fellow community members.
To find requirements for donors, hours of operation and for more information about
the Blood Center, log on to www.chomp.org/blood-center. The Blood Center is at 576
Hartnell Drive, Monterey. Appointments are recommended for donor convenience and
walk-ins are welcome; call 625-4814. Donors must be 17 or older, (16 with parental
permission), and weigh at least 110 pounds. In addition to Community Hospital Blood Center donation hours, a mobile blood
drive is scheduled to assist with the efforts. Seaside Fire Department will host a blood
drive on Saturday, October 4 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
As Community Hospital prepares to close the Blood Center in mid-October, we
would like to invite donors, blood drive sponsors, and our staff and volunteers to a
reception honoring them for their commitment to the health of our community. The
appreciation event, including the donor-favorite carrot cake, is set for October 14, 4-7
p.m., at the Blood Center at 576 Hartnell Drive, Monterey.

Hero Athletes: Travis Wall
Push Forward
Travis Wall is a true inspiration to all
dancers across the world. He was born
September 16, 1987, in Virginia Beach
and started dancing at the age of three,
training at his mother’s dance studio. At
her studio, Denise Wall’s Dance Energy,
he was trained in contemporary and jazz.
Wall had his first star moment at the age
of nine when he starred in a Dr. Pepper
commercial. He has had many great experiences throughout his life as well as
many difficult challenges. His bravery,
strength, and commitment are what make
him a true hero.
Wall gained the courage to audition
for “So You Think You Can Dance” at
the age of eighteen. His mother nurtured
him throughout this whole process, and he
wanted to make her proud. He had to wait
nervously for his turn behind a countless
number of amazing dancers. Wall was
extremely brave, summoning the confidence to perform in front of three talented
judges. When it was finally his turn, he
gave 110% to his routine. HE listened
to the judges critiques and waited for his
evaluation. He had performed a wonderful
contemporary piece and won the judges
over. After making it through the first
audition, he would have to audition again
in Las Vegas, California. He would have
to show his bravery once again and push
through every challenge he faced.
In Vegas, Wall had to overcome many
challenges and push through them. He had
to compete against all the talented dancers
that were chosen. During Vegas week, he
had to learn various routines and perform
them in front of a panel of five or more
judges. Throughout the week, he was
dancing day and night, no matter how tired
he was. The dancers all wanted to make
sure they had the routines perfected and
would stay up all through the night. Wall
was emotionally and physically drained,
but he found a way to cope with the challenge. Some would say that he stopped
pushing himself and was not as good as
many of the other dancers. Also, some of
the dancers may have felt they worked
much harder than he did and that they
deserved a spot on the show. However,
the judges saw his

Breakers focused on
homecoming game against
Marina Friday night
By Jon Charron
Homecoming is here for the Pacific Grove football team. With a week that is full
of activities and events at school, there can be many distractions for the players as they
prepare to face Marina.
“Put [the distractions] aside and play football,” is what Tyler Hawes, a junior offensive tackle said. Senior quarterback Anthony Coppla, who is playing in his final homecoming game, echoed Hawes’ stance by stating that “we’ve got to focus on our goal.”
On top of the many distractions that the Breakers face this week, they have to
avoid the trap game. The Breakers played a strong game last week on the road against
Soledad, winning 27-6. The Mariners though, got shutout at King City 34-0. To make
things worse on the visiting Mariners, they come into the game with an (0-4) record,
and have only put up 6 total points on the season. The Breakers on the other hand, have
scored 93 points in their four games, and have a (3-1) record.
“Play [Marina] like any other team,” Hawes said. That is the key to not following
up a big win with a big upset. Coppla added, “We need to stay true to ourselves, look
past the win [against Soledad], and focus on fixing mistakes.”
Kick-off for the homecoming game is at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 10. If you
can’t attend, follow us on Twitter @jonwaynecharron as we tweet highlights.
MPC homecoming is
all about ‘chicken bingo’
Booster Club makes fund-raising debut
By Jon Charron
The homecoming football game for Monterey Peninsula College is going to be big
this year. The Lobos who currently sit at (3-2) will play against Hartnell who are (4-1).
While the Monterey Peninsula College Foundation has been around for about 20
years, raising money for the school, the booster club itself has just been created. Led
by Birt Johnson, the booster club was designed to raise money specifically for the
schools’ athletic programs.
The club is selling 100 raffle tickets in total at $100 each. Beccie Michael, the
MPC foundation executive director will fly over the field in a helicopter and drop three
rubber chickens into virtual grids. The winners will
be able to win $1,000, $500, or $200.
MPC president and superintendent, Dr. Walt
Tribley will present the awards to the winners of the
chicken drop at the game. Not only will Dr. Tribley
preside over the awards presentation, but he will be
doing it while wearing a chicken hat.
Beccie Michael, in a press release, says that “the
booster club committee is working diligently to raise
money and they thought this would be a great way to
garner additional support for MPC athletics.” Michael
adds that while “we are serious about raising money,
[we] don’t take ourselves so seriously that we can’t
have fun while we are doing it.”
Tickets can be purchased by calling the MPC
foundation at 831-655-5507. The game will take place

Austin Book
A great tip for your putting is to stand away from the hole on the practice putting
green,about 40 feet, drop some golf balls on the ground and then place some
balls on the ground 30 feet from the hole then place some balls on the ground
20 feet from the cup.. A good drill is to putt from the various distances I set up
for you and what this will do is give you more distance control from a variety of
distances.. Most of the average players shots if they hit the green from the fairway
will be long putts so practice the long putts because, you will get a lot of them..
