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.

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.

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.

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.

October 10, 2014 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 7 The Patrons’ Show is Coming Your Letters Donations Sought by PG Art Center Opinion 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. Clinton Woods Pacific Grove 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.

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 for their donations: Diane Michaels/Dr Ivan D Melean, Gary R Ray/Katy Castagna, Patrick E Simon/Susan G Simon, Mary Khasigian Nikssarian/David Alan Nikssarian, James M Martin, Eric Sklar/ Erica Sklar, Carmel Stamp & Coin Shop, Law Offices of George M.

Additionally, he has secured consultation and advisement from various specialists like community treasure and philanthropist Doug Brown.

October 10, 2014 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 9 Tom Stevens Otter Views 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!” Sotheby’s Real Estate World Theater Fall 2014 Performing Arts Series Written & Directed by Luis Valdez ‘Powerful ... play brings together star-crossed lovers of Japanese and Latino descent amid WWII.’ — San Jose Mercury News Oct. 18, 8pm • Oct. 19, 2pm Sunday matinee & special reception with the playwright and cast.

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.” Pacific Grove Weekend Forecast Friday Saturday 11th 10th Mostly Sunny 66° 55° Chance of Rain 0% WIND: WNW at 9 mph Partly Cloudy 71° 57° Chance of Rain 0% WIND: NW at 8 mph Sunday 12th Partly Cloudy 80° 58° Chance of Rain 0% WIND: N at 7 mph Monday 13th Mostly Sunny 80° 58° Chance of Rain 0% WIND: WSW at 6 mph Pacific Grove’s Rain Gauge Data reported by Jack Beigle at Canterbury Woods Week ending 10-09-14........................ .00” Total for the season .......................... 0.53” To date last year (09-13-13) .............. 10.86” Historical average to this date ......... 0.67” Wettest year ....................................... 47.15” (during rain year 07-01-97 through 06-30-98) Driest year ......................................... 4.13” (during rain year 07-01-12 through 06-30-13)* *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. .

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.....

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!

Page 16 • CEDAR STREET Times • October 10, 2014 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.” PAC I F I C G ROV E C H A M B ER O F CO M M ERC E FINALE Friday, October 24 • 6-9 PM Butterfly 207-A 16th St. Artisana Gallery 612 Lighthouse Ave. Bana 510 Lighthouse Ave. Glenn Gobel Custom Frames 562 Lighthouse Ave. Strouse & Strouse Studio-Gallery 178 Grand Ave. Sun Studios 208 Forest Ave. Taft & Teak 581 Lighthouse Ave. Tessuti Zoo 171 Forest Ave. PG Art Center 568 Lighthouse Ave. Glamorous Catrina by Pam Bacich at Tessuti Zoo The Pacific Grove Art Center will be open from 7-9 PM.

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. For more information about the event visit www.dancefortherescues.org. About Dance for the Rescues: The first annual Dance for the Rescues took place in early 2010 when Dance for the Rescues Founder Polaris Kinison Brown had the idea to 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. s To place legal notices call 831-324-4742.

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 mother. He choreographed this dance to potential and they tell a story about his mother cancer and absolutely adored how he would be there for her. All-stars him.

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.

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 Good sport Dr. Tribley in his on Saturday, October 25 at 6:00 p.m. chicken hat Breaker of the Week 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..
