And this crew should know — the work would have begun earlier but they had been assigned to a wildland fire. They’ll take a week away and be back, said Weissfuss. He said he hoped to “fracture the canopy,” a term meaning to open it up to the sky, so that re-seeding on the forest floor has a better chance. Normally, the canopy would be fractured by a fire, a disease, or a treefall in bad weather. Weissfuss said he would be going back in later to plant more trees to replace dead and dying ones. The crew “chipped” what they could and hauled away larger pieces. Next year, Weissfuss said that “weed-eating” may be all that’s required, dependant on weather in the coming winter. ßNext up, when funding is available and the CalFire crew is, too, will be Rip Van Winkle Open Space on Congress. “Book Publishing 1-2-3” workshop Writers’ workshop will feature tips for connecting with literary agents, writing prompts, overview of today’s publishing options, Q&A, free review of three pages of writing.

But it was pretty darned cold if you were one of the four Pacific Grove Police officers who’d been “called out” to be splashed with ice water. The event is a goodnatured way to raise money for the Fallen Officer fund. The officers who have been called out and have the ice water dumped on them and pay $10 each, or avoid having the ice water dumped on them by paying $100 each. Said Chief Vicki Myers, “I told them I would pay the avoidance fee on their behalf, but they said they would be good sports in the hopes of encouraging other participants, and let us soak them.” And soak they did, with City Manager Tom Frutchey pouring an ice chest full (emphasis on “ice”) and Cdr. Cassie McSorley a big bowl of ice water on (L-R) Sgt. Jeff Fenton and officers Vanessa Alvarez, Eva Rasul and Amy Lonsinger, the good sports that they were. Well, maybe not: They, in turn, “called out” a number of other officers, some from Pacific Grove, others from Seaside and other area cities, as well as Sheriff’s Department and even Fire Department personnel. Photo by Peter Nichols Area Volunteers Going to Washington State to Aid in Wildfire Relief Efforts The American Red Cross Santa Cruz County Chapter has deployed additional volunteers to Washington where wildfires have forced residents from their homes. Jay Dravich, Arthur Larios, and Rick Daniel of Santa Cruz; Allan Mayfield of Carmel Valley; Dennis Poole and Michael Eugene Fyfe of Aptos; and Russell Cole of Boulder Creek will join volunteers already in Washington who are providing shelter, food, and emotional support to residents who have been displaced. Trained members of the Red Cross workforce are responding to help people affected by wildfires in Washington and Oregon where thousands of acres are burning and residents are being forced to leave their homes. A total of 16 volunteers from the Gateway to the Golden State region are responding thus far. WILDFIRE SAFETY If your home is being threatened by a wildfire, make sure the entrance to your driveway and house number are clearly marked. Other safety steps include the following: · If a fire is burning in the area, be ready to evacuate quickly. · Back your car into the garage or park it out in the open facing the direction you need to go to escape. · Be cautious driving in the area – winds can unexpectedly cause poor visibility on the roads. · Drivers should also watch for downed power lines and poles. · Listen and watch for air quality reports and health warnings about smoke. People with health conditions need to take extra precautions. · Keep indoor air clean by closing windows and doors to prevent outside smoke from getting in. · Use the recycle or re-circulate mode on the air conditioner in your home or car. If you do not have air conditioning and it is too hot to stay inside with closed windows, seek shelter elsewhere. · When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns and adds to indoor air pollution, such as candles, fireplaces, and gas stoves. Do not vacuum because it stirs up particles that are already inside your home. · If you have asthma or another lung disease, follow your health care provider’s advice and seek medical care if your symptoms worsen.

People are becoming more mindful of alternative options to maintain wellness, avoid illness, and treat disease if it does develop. Pet owners are discovering that, in addition to relying upon their veterinarians for preventive and medical care, new, additional options for creating wellness and supporting health are emerging for their pets, just as they are for themselves. Pet practitioners are all around us.You may not have yet embraced them as part of your pet’s health team. But, if you consider that each in some way supports our understanding of our pets, and our ability to create the most supportive and healthful possible environment for them, then you may begin to identify them as important components of your pet’s path to maximum wellness. Just who are some of these practitioners, and why should pet owners know about them? There are trainers, communicators, aromatherapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, exercise and physical therapists, herbalists, psychologists, behaviorists, and combinations thereof. They offer an array of holistic approaches that go beyond what has been available to our pets in the past, often combining available holistic techniques. Let’s take the example of aromatherapy, in order to discover the value of the holistic approach. There are now safe, proven botanically based products that may be used in place of, or in addition La Mia Cucina Ristorante to, medicines currently on the market. A few veterinarians are beginning to discover and embrace these alternatives to synthetic chemicals. Many other practitioners routinely integrate essential oils into their work, along with other modalities. Essential oils offer a wide range of therapeutic actions which benefit people and pets. Some oils are distasteful to fleas, ticks, and flies. Some help calm the skin or soothe the digestive tract. Others reduce inflammation and discomfort. Some kill viruses or bacteria. Some support the immune system or specific organs. The benefits of the oils go on and on. Botanicals have been used since ancient times to treat diseases, promote wellness, enhance comfort, for cosmetic purposes, in perfumery, and to restore emotional and psychological balance. Perhaps most importantly, these natural products, used judiciously, may help to prevent disease before it occurs. They can help our pets adapt to, and be more comfortable in, our complex and demanding society. By helping them to adapt, our pets can avoid stress which might lead to disease (dis-ease) . From that perspective, the pet owner has an opportunity to be the preventive “moving force” in the pet’s life. When a dog is behaving uneasily, applying a properly prepared blend of botanicals which allay fear and induce relaxation is just the ticket. Unlike traditional medicine’s “magic bullet” approach, in which results are expected to be instantaneous, using the oils in this manner allows for owner participation and interaction. As the owner applies the oils through gentle massage each day, the dog becomes more relaxed, more outgoing, and happier overall. The human-canine bond is strengthened, and a more satisfying relationship results. Because the dog is happy and relaxed, he or she is less pre-disposed to illness. It is important to note that with aromatherapy, as in any other alternative therapy, there is a body of experience and knowledge supporting the safe and effective manner of application. Some species (e.g. cats) respond badly to essential oils, but not to the by-product of the distillation process – hydrosols. Each species tolerates and responds most positively to specific dilution percentages. Some oils are safe for some species and not for others. It is important to do in-depth research, or work with someone who has, when applying any alternative care. Our pets add so much to our lives. We live in a time of expanding awareness of the many ways in which we can enhance their lives and support our special relationship with them. By taking a journey into a more holistic approach, you and your pet can only benefit from the amazing and ever-expanding array of alternatives available to us all.

July 25, 2014 • CEDAR STREET PGPD Nabs Two in Chase to Salinas Last night, Fri. July 18 at 11:40 PM, PGPD saw a vehicle run a stop sign at Presidio Blvd and Funston Ave. They recognized the car as belonging to suspects wanted for burglary. The driver refused to yield to the officer and took off on Hwy 68 and onto Hwy 1. A chase ensued through Monterey, Seaside, Marina and the former Ft Ord. Monterey PD, Seaside PD, Sand City PD, Marina PD, Presidio PD, CHP and Monterey County Sheriffs joined the chase. The suspect vehicle was stopped at Las Palmas Pkwy and River Rd in Salinas with the help of Mo. Co. Sheriffs. The driver, 35-year-old Victor Ramirez from Seaside was arrested for evading a peace officer, reckless driving, eluding a police officer by driving against traffic, unlawful possession of drugs, and being under the influence of drugs. The female passenger, Nichole Baker, a 36-year-old woman from Pacific Grove, was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics and possession of burglar’s tools. A number of items, suspected to be stolen property, along with illegal narcotics and burglar’s tools, were found in the vehicle. In addition, the driver was charged with cruelty to animals in or upon a vehicle, because he had a small chocolate Labrador puppy unsecured in the vehicle during the chase. No one, including the puppy, was injured. The pair was transported and lodged at Monterey County Jail to await arraignment. Five Sets of License Plates Stolen Friday, July 18 Pacfic Grove Police officers responded to the 1000 block of Austin Ave. where front and rear license plates of at least five vehicles had been stolen. No suspects yet. PGPD asks you to be vigilant. Two pedestrians injured Two pedestrians were injured while crossing the street near Lovers Point at about 3:08 in the afternoon on July 23. A driver, aged 92, was heading south on 17th St. He stopped at the stop sign and then turned left on Ocean View and didn't see the two pedestrians who were partially across the street in the marked crosswalk. A 60-year-old woman and her granddaughter, 11, were injured. The juvenile had minor injuries and was transported to CHOMP in an ambulance. The grandmother was more seriously injured and was transported by air to a trauma center. Her injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. CHP offering Start Smart classes in Salinas The California Highway Patrol is asking parents and teens to take some time to attend a free driving safety class aimed at young motorists on Thursday, July 31, 2014 at the Monterey Area CHP office at 6:00 PM in Salinas. The two-hour “Smart Start” class is designed for new and future drivers, ages 15 through 19, and their parents. The class is taught by CHP officers who discuss factors that contribute to crashes and how they can be avoided. Some of those officers will talk about investigating fatal crashes involving teenage drivers. Commissioner Joe Farrow of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) notes, “Our officers tell us one of the most stressful parts of their job is when they have to tell the parents of a teen that their child was killed in an automobile crash. We are proud to play a role in this educational program to reduce collisions, save teens from injury or death, and keep a parent or family member from receiving heartbreaking news.” Driving deaths are the number one killer of teens; and the most frequent causes are distracted and reckless driving. “Crash data demonstrate that more action is needed,” added Commissioner Farrow. “In addition to the high rate of teen drivers who are involved in a crash in their first year of driving, the fatal crash risk per mile driven by 16-year-olds is twice that of 18 to 19-year-olds, and about seven times the risk for drivers ages 30-59.” For more information, call the Monterey Area CHP office at 831-796-2197.

Eventually, he crashed the car and fled on foot. The owner of the vehicle was located at his residence and alleged no knowledge of the incident. He was also extremely drunk. Found Dog A large husky was found on Lobos and transported to the City Yard. Purse Found ...and turned in. ID was found in the purse and the owner was notified. To Sign or not to Sign A person on Central reported that someone contacted him and said he was collecting signatures for a petition. He did not have a booth or any signage for the county in which he was colleting signatures. The reporting party gave his name and address at first, but then withdrew the information after consideration. The signature collector became upset. The reporting party was concerned that the data was being collected in order to commit burglary or other crimes. He had recorded the signature gatherer’s license number. Open Invitation A car was noticed on Granite St., parked with the door open. The console and glove box were closed and it didn’t appear that the car had been rummaged through. The person who answered the door said the car belonged to her room mate and that it did not appear anything was missing. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes A woman was walking with her daughter and smoking an e-cigarette. A man behind her called her a “bitch” and accused her of blowing smoke in his face. she told him she wasn’t aware he was behind her. He got even more upset and said he was going to call the police, so she did it for him. Identity and Costco Theft The suspect had some bank checks made with an account from Santa Cruz Community Credit Union and passed one at Costco to the tune of $677.37. DUI Monterey County Sheriffs requested assistance with a suspected DUI on a traffic check. The driver, Bradford Beach, was arrested, cited, and released to a sober friend. Stabbing at Hotel Two makes were fighting at a hotel on Ocean view Blvd. One suffered a stab wound to the arm. The other ran. They are both Sureno gang members. The victim would not give up the perpetrator. Dog Leashed A dog was reported barking and found to be leashed to a house. The reporting party said they’d give it food and water until the owner showed up. When the resident was contacted, he said the dog got loose. He was advised of the codes regarding leashing a dog to a permanent location. Animal Hoarder Sentenced The District Attorneys of the counties of Monterey, Fresno, Contra Costa, and Tulare settled their civil case against animal hoarder Crystal Kisicki and St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary. The terms of the agreement provide for a statewide permanent injunction and require Kisicki to comply with probation requirements from her criminal case and pay the SPCA for Monterey County restitution as awarded by the criminal court. The defendants agreed to a permanent injunction that bars Kisicki from possessing or “rescuing” any animal, selling or adopting out animals, working or interacting with animals, and adopting or procuring any animal from any animal shelter, pound, pet store, individual, Craigslist or any other online site, or from any other source. The permanent injunction also prohibits St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary and Crystal Kisicki from starting up or working with another animal rescue group and soliciting potential adopters or monetary donors. St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary and Crystal Kisicki are also required to remove any web pages and profiles they used to solicit donations or display animals. In June 2013, the SPCA for Monterey County responded to consumer complaints and found St. Francis All Creature and Rescue Sanctuary and Crystal Kisicki offering 17 unhealthy, malnourished animals for adoption at local pet stores. The animals were seized, and shortly thereafter the Central California SPCA seized 61 animals from Kisicki’s rural property in Fresno County. The animals were found in poor condition, without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. Further investigation revealed that defendants had also conducted fraudulent adoption events in Contra Costa and Tulare County and that Kisicki had a history of animal hoarding dating back to the 1990s. Animal cruelty charges were filed in Monterey County Superior Court and the District Attorney Consumer Protection units of four counties where violations occurred began putting together a civil unfair business practice and false advertising case against Kisicki and her so-called “rescue group.” In January 2014, Kisicki pled guilty to two counts of animal cruelty. She was sentenced to three years of informal probation and 10 days in jail. The civil case was filed in February 2014 in order to seek permanent restrictions on Kisicki’s contact with animals and to make sure that St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary would stop defrauding consumers.

Instructions to mobilize lacking only a specific time have been issued by military headquarters in San Jose. All officers of the Fifth Cavalry, Companies B and M, have been alerted. Only an invasion of Mexico by another South American country is likely to stave off United States military action at this point. The local companies have been issued instructions to get started packing. Big guns and other weapons are being readied. Each of the 150-plus men will receive a physical examination before leaving for the mobilization camp. Vaccinations against known contagious disease will be given.1 For the men’s protection this army of reserves is to be blended into forces of the regular army. The orders received include everything but the final order to move, which is likely coming. Colonel David Schmidt, Oakland, is in charge of the California invasion force. Divining rods in use Whether or not divining rods used in the ground search for gold, silver, and other precocious actually work, nothing has been proven. Nevertheless divining rods continue in wide-spread use. While questions about rods generally come from somewhere like the United States Geological, this new correspondent is a person living in Modesto, California. That individual claims that he works for the government, and has developed a divining rod of hollow metal, like a super-size straw, the government will get a 50% cut of anything received. The reply is that while ordinary, dip-needle equipment has been useful in finding iron, nickel, and cobalt, no indicator of divining rods finding gold or silver or other precious metals is on hand. This editor asks why not? We should get busy proving or disproving such capabilities. Anyone with an opinion or hard data is encouraged to contact the Review.

Your Letters Opinion The Role of Compassion in Politics Casey Lucius, Ph.D. In the past two years that I have served on the Pacific Grove City Council, I have made two decisions that I truly regret. The first one was when we passed an ordinance outlawing sleeping in cars. At the time I justified the decision as a public health and safety issue, but the decision has nagged at me ever since, especially as the homeless population among us grows, services remain insufficient, and no city in the region has come up with alternative solutions. The second decision I regret took place just last week in my capacity as the representative of Pacific Grove on the FORA board. I joined with my fellow board members to approve a rent increase for the Preston Park apartments. Preston Park is in Marina and does not house any of my constituents, but I was nevertheless still concerned about the additional financial burden we were placing on renters during these difficult times, even if the increase was rather modest. There was a clear tension between compassion and my fiduciary responsibility to FORA. The revenue from these increased rates would support projects on the former Fort Ord, including upgrades to the Preston Park units. As soon as I voted, I immediately regretted the decision I had made. I usually try not to allow sentimentality or my personal interests influence my decisions as an elected representative, but the truth is, my personal experiences do inform the way I think, and they do shape my point of view on many topics.This decision especially touched my heart because most of my life was spent living in apartments and surviving paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to figure out how to pay the next month’s rent. As a child, I remember moving once from one apartment complex to another because the rent was raised and my mom couldn’t afford the higher rent. I never want my decision to put someone in that position. Instead, I hope to be more creative in finding alternative solutions to our revenue shortfalls, rather than shifting the burden to others. I am convinced now more than ever, that there is not just room for compassion in politics, but there is also a dire need for it. Those of us charged with making decisions that impact the lives of others have an obligation to put ourselves in their shoes, and to be guided by the kind of wisdom, creativity and compassion that will make us good stewards of our community’s resources. This is as true at the local level as we discuss water, unemployment, homelessness, housing, and education, as it is at the state and national levels as officials seek solutions to the ongoing border crisis and healthcare access. It is all too easy to stand on principle, yet forget those who bear the burdens we create when we cast our votes. We are all called to love and serve the least among us, and as an elected official, I hope that we can rise to the challenge by seeking a higher standard of compassion and creativity on behalf of our communities and those in need.

Photo by Batista Moon Studio On Wednesday, July 23, the SPCA for Monterey County rescued 70 neglected pets from a house in Greenfield. SPCA Humane Officers responded to a residence on the 300 block of Apple Avenue in Greenfield after receiving a call from the Greenfield Police Department about a suspected hoarding situation. The small house was filled with feces, urine, and thousands of cockroaches. The smell of ammonia from the urine was overwhelming and posed a serious health hazard. Adult Protective Services, Child Protective Services and Monterey County Department of Health are also involved in the investigation. The house has been declared uninhabitable. The rescued pets, seven dogs and 63 cats and kittens, were dirty, matted, skinny, severely infested with fleas, and suffering from ear parasites and upper respiratory infections. Many were confined to small cages. One cat was locked in a cage without food, so weak and emaciated he was unable to move. Sadly, due to lack of treatment, many of the illnesses were so severe that after an examination by veterinarians, 26 pets had to be humanely euthanized to end their extreme suffering. Today, the surviving pets are undergo- Times • Page 7 “The expertise of the Small Business Development Center, guided us to Kathy Torres at Monterey County Bank.

For thousands of years people have made their living fishing the Monterey Bay, beginning with the Rumsien Ohlone, the native people of the Monterey area. From abalone to rockfish, everything was fished and utilized and the Monterey Bay was a multi-cultural stew, made up of whalers from the Azores, squid fishermen from China, salmon fishermen and abalone divers from Japan, and Sicilians fishing sardines in the “dark of the moon.” This entertaining tour of Old Fisherman’s Wharf and the waterfront will take us back in time to explore the history of the Monterey Wharf, early history of the Monterey waterfront, The Rumsien/Ohlone People--Monterey's first fishermen, the abalone industry, whaling the bay and of course, the legendary sardine industry.

Forming Peninsula Primary Care-Cardiology are Dr. Nicholas Chee, Dr. Michael Galloway, Dr. Alexander Izmailov, Dr. Richard Kanak, Dr. Thomas Kehl, Dr. Eugene Liu, and Dr. Pir Shah. The physicians previously were members of the private practice Cardio-Pulmonary Associates Medical Group Inc. The new practice remains in the same location on Garden Court in Monterey and retains the same hours and telephone number. As an added service to patients, Community Hospital’s Tyler Heart Institute on Tuesday opened a cardiac imaging center in an adjoining office. “We’re very excited to be working more closely with this trusted and experienced group of physicians, who have been providing care to our community for more than 30 years,” says Dr. Steven Packer, president/CEO of Community Hospital. “They bring a range of specialization, including in electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, non-invasive cardiology, cardiac imaging, and sleep medicine.” Community Hospital’s parent company, Community Hospital Foundation, opened the first office of Peninsula Primary Care in 2009 in Carmel, followed two years later by an office at the Peninsula Wellness Center complex in Marina. A second Monterey office is expected to open later this year at Carmel Hill Professional Center, near Community Hospital. PPC was established as a key part of Community Hospital’s efforts to alleviate a shortage of primary care physicians in the area. As the practice has grown, shortages in some medical specialties have become more acute, prompting PPC to begin recruitment and retention efforts directed at specialties, including neurology, urology, gynecology-obstetrics, and cardiology. “Establishing and maintaining relationships with primary care doctors and specialists is key to achieving the best health possible,” Packer says. “With the addition of these six physicians to PPC, we can preserve the continuity of the excellent care they provide to our community.” PPC-Cardiology is at 30 Garden Court in Monterey and may be reached by calling 646-8570. Hours are 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tyler Heart Institute’s cardiac imaging center is open from 7:45 a.m.-5 p.m. and may be reached at 622-8070. ABOUT PENINSULA PRIMARY CARE Peninsula Primary Care opened its first office in Carmel in 2009, its second in Marina in 2011, and its third in Monterey in 2014. A fourth office, also in Monterey, is expected to open in 2014. The centers have more than 25 primary and specialty physicians and a nurse practitioner, many of whom are accepting new patients.

The Paul Mortuary, an By Katie Shain Playing to full houses, the now ‘seasoned’ Dale Thompson as Curly, attaining some of his initial acting skills on the MPC stage, is co-starring with Lori Schulman, who plays Laurey. Both bring expert choral expression, supporting the entire production from start to finish with glowing repartée, verve, affection and charm. Aunt Eller, as played by Katie Day, claimed the stage and maintained all the love the house could hold. While every individual supporting cast character role from the effectively frightful Judd Fry (Morgan Vetter), Aido Annie (Megan Root) aptly performed with Will Parker (Peter Hoffman), and the Peddler Ali Hakim (Chris Deacon), with Pa Carnes; Clark Brown, the Sheriff (Ike Skidmore) and Gertie Cummings (Corinne Walker) bring howling, sensitive, comedy with every nuanced scene. And the dream sequence must be mentioned Dream Laurey; Nicole West and Dream Curly; David Buckley. Newcomers to the theatrical stage, like “triple-threat” dancer, singer, actor Kevin Jasper as Slim, graced the stage with impeccable presence and awareness, adding balance, gesture, character and true cowboy form to the show, with an added spark from Fred, played by Douglas Johnson. Sara Horn always manages to brighten, enliven and define the fact that “there are no small parts” with her love and professional demeanor, along with her innate talent and drive for her exquisite and defined stage contributions. As has become the standard, sets, costumes, choreography, sound and lights are all well above par. The musical was directed by MPC Department Chairman, Gary Bolen. Of course it’s ultimately up to the college board to decide if this production is too professional or not for the campus, but busloads of students have been filling the seats and this is closing weekend, so if you hold an interest in fine theater arts, get your tickets, if you can. More than tickets are on sale to help support this and future MPC productions; raffle tickets are being offered for a full- amenity stay at renowned Big Sur’s Ventana Inn.

Changes to BSIM Relay The scenic Big Sur Marathon course offers a variety of distances including the marathon relay, a popular event with teams of family and friends due to its shorter distances. For 2015, the relay will feature four-person teams, down from five in the past, with leg distances of 4.8, 5.0, 7.2 and 9.2 miles. In addition, the relay will be limited to 200 total teams. Registration will open August 1. “After looking at all operational and safety aspects of the relay, we decided to combine the former legs four and five,” said Doug Thurston, race director. “This, combined with a slightly-lower team entry limit, will improve the participant experience and reduce crowding and the number of buses on the course during the race.” The progressive distances allow choices for both experienced and newer runners who, while not ready for one of the event’s longer races, still want to experience the beautiful and challenging ocean-front course on Highway 1 between Big Sur and Carmel. Leg 1 of the marathon relay begins in Big Sur and travels through the redwood forest for 4.2 miles. Leg 2 includes a 5 mile stretch of coastal views and ranch lands. Leg 3, perhaps the most challenging, includes the 2-mile ascent to Hurricane Point, crosses Bixby Bridge, and continues past the iconic pianist on the baby grand piano near the marathon’s halfway mark. The fourth and longest leg of 9.2 miles, now a combination of the previous legs 4 and 5, includes more scenic coastline views, rolling hills, three miles through the Carmel Highlands, and enthusiastic crowds at the race finish. Race organizers are also making changes to improve relay exchange logistics including gear check and runner refreshments. In addition, an improved team member bib assignment process will help the marathon’s public safety team better track runners on course. “These changes will help us provide a safer event for all participants, volunteers, and the community,” Thurston said. Entry fee for the Relay is $310, or $77.50 per person, through December 31, 2014. The relay entry fee increases to $340 on January 1, 2015 if there are still team spots available. Registration opens at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, August 1 at www.bsim.org.

Because everyone is scattered and/or very busy, visits are rare. The Patricks had been up a couple of times. It has been two years since we had the pleasure of being with our little granddaughters, Cora and Lydia, and their mother, Jennie. We really didn’t know what to expect. When children are so young they can forget people they knew. We don’t Skype nor do face time, but I believe that needs to change. There was no need to worry. They arrived around noon on July 9 and rushed in with hugs and enthusiasm, which warmed the hearts of these old folk. The gathering was prompted by a wedding reception the following Sunday at Fern Cottage in Kennedy Regional Park, El Sobrante, just north of Oakland. Megan and Justin had married in December. They woke up one morning, looked at each other and said “let’s get hitched today.” after a trip to City Hall, they alerted the family that the deed was done. We were all delighted having had the pleasure of getting to know the bride. Both are artists and have excellent jobs. They are charming, talented, wonderful young people. After long deliberation the site and type of event were chosen. It is the first of what will hopefully evolve into a family reunion from time to time. There were many things that Jennie wanted to do in the few days they were on the Peninsula, which was approximately 48 hours. I decided that the only way those who wanted to see the girls would be able to do this was to gather them together for a casual supper the first evening they were here. Obviously I could not leave the house, so John went off with them to play tourist. They went to the wharf, the First Theater and the Coast Guard Pier to look at the sea lions congregating on the boards. They arrived home, tired but happy with gifts for all. The early evening supper went off with a few hitches, a planned dessert fell through, but John saved the day with Hagen Das ice cream bars he had in the freezer. The next day was my day to travel. We drove out to Carmel Valley to visit Jennie’s long time and close friends Amy and Mike Bullas whom she had introduced years ago when she and Mike had an art show in Los Angeles. The house is a wooden cabin hanging over the mountain with a view that won’t stop. There are ducks in the yard and below is a cage of goats, one of the animals is a baby whose mother rejected her and the Bullas’ must nurse with a bottle every three hours. I sat on the porch soaking in the beauty and holding the little creature while I gave her the food. It was really glorious. On the way home we stopped to visit Lydia Criley then headed back to the house for an early supper and movie, “Frozen”, which I had never seen. The next day we hit the Treasure Shop, visited Becky Flavin, after which the visitors left for the city. Sue and Rod Dewar accompanied us on our trip to the Bay Area. We stayed at a Sheraton Hotel in Emeryville and Saturday night visited our past by eating at Trader Vic’s. Sunday was the reception. We had no idea what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. Ellen and Shawn with Will and Joe had come up from Los Angeles and were heavily involved in all of the cooking which was vegetarian and delicious. It was peaceful and beautiful. My former husband, with his wife Lois, was there and it was great seeing all of them. Needless to say, Jay and Denise, parents of the groom, Brother Spencer and grandmother, Lu Hammond,were present. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Lois and getting to know her. At the end of the festivities we gathered for family photos. As I looked around at this large brood I thought of the generations that have been lost due to tragedies. In 1955 I was in a horrible automobile accident and could have, should have, died the family photo would have been blank. I know we all think of this when we dare reflect on incidents such as Sandy Hook and other catastrophes, to say nothing of war. The Dewars and Rolands returned to the hotel, played dominoes for a few hours then had an upscale dining experience at The Black Bear Diner across the street. Our waitress was a tall, humorous African-American woman named Vivian who kept us in stitches, urged us to return (probably not) and shared with us that her husband and she spent anniversaries on the Monterey Peninsula, dining at their favorite restaurant, The Sardine Factory. The week ended and on Monday we returned home, I must confess that I was exhausted but thoroughly happy and looking forward to the next gathering. It is time to remind you to mark your calendars for Fiesta del Perro, a celebration of dogs, held annually at Robert Down School. This year it will be on September 27 with many exciting demonstrations, a children’s art show, judged by Will Bullas (who has once again donated the art work), a pet parade, music, food and an assortment of booths. We are looking for sponsors and participants. There will be an on line auction in September featuring the painting and many other valuable items. Also avail able are thermal mugs at Rabobank, Treasure Shop and Grand Avenue Flooring.

Website Fiestadelperro.com Jane Roland, [email protected] Fern Cottage John, Lydia, Cora, Jane John, Lydia, Cora Jennie, Lydia, John, Cora Otter Views Moss Landing Whale Smorgie The most humpback whales your correspondent has yet seen in one locale were breeching and blowing off Moss Landing all week. A friend and I finally got out there Saturday at dusk, then returned with binoculars on Sunday for a better look. It was a whale smorgasbord out there, and the banquet was surprisingly close to shore. An article in Friday’s Monterey Herald reported that at least 15 humpbacks had been enjoying “an anchovy feast” just off the Moss Landing Harbor. One whale reportedly swam right into the harbor mouth. A terrific photo taken from a charter boat accompanied the story. It shows three humpbacks – or their knobby heads, anyway – piercing the surface while gouts of seawater gush from their mouths. The whales pictured were “lunge feeding,” the caption explains. The photo piqued my interest on a couple of counts. First, it shows the whales surfacing at the same moment and about as close together as three whales can get. With their pointy snouts topping vastly pouched-out gullets, they look like hooded Franciscan friars standing shoulder to shoulder in the ocean. Even more remarkable was their proximity to shore. Behind the whales, the photo shows people walking on the beach and seafood restaurants so close you can read the signs. A pelican glides into the frame below the tip of one whale’s lunging jaw. The Friday photo got me interested. Then on Saturday, a fellow lap swimmer added some compelling personal details. “We were diving out near Moss Landing the other morning,” he related. “The whales were so thick we could smell their breath.” “What did it smell like?” He laughed. “Anchovies! They all had anchovy breath. There was an old-timer with us on the boat. He told us Monterey used to smell like that all the time, only 10 times more so.” With luck, the great anchovy feast is still going on. If so, a drive to Moss Landing is highly recommended. Turn off at one of the beach exits, park, hike up the sand berm, and gaze seaward. If the humpbacks are there, you should see synchronized blasts of spray, glistening black backs, and the graceful curve of descending flukes. On Sunday afternoon, pods of whales were visible all along the coast. Some were far out in the bay; others so near shore you could count the blows. The timing of the blows suggested the whales were working in concert. The sea would be flat for a time; then a big group of whales would surface and exhale in unison blasts. The blows shot into the air all at once, bringing a couple of images to mind. One was a water show I saw once at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. To orchestral accompaniment, spot-lit fountains of water rose and fell synchronously as if beckoned to life by a sorcerer’s wand. It was like a scene from Disney’s “Fantasia.” The simultaneous blasts also reminded me of battling man-of-war movies from the 1950s. Wreathed in smoke and belching flame, squadrons of French and English frigates would blast each other with salvos of cannon fire. The first salvo would splash down short of the target, raising 15 or 20 columns of spray. The whales looked like that. Why were they exhaling together? I know humpbacks “sing,” but I doubt that explains it. I’m thinking “lunge feeding” requires cetacean choreography. I can imagine a circle of whales surrounding the anchovies, diving down beneath them, then driving them to the surface for easy gulping. That’s how it looked from the beach, anyway. Much closer to the action on Sunday were the whale watch vessels, fishing rigs and charter sloops that tacked back and forth among the various humpback pods. The fleet also included smaller boats too frail-looking to approach feeding whales. “Check out that little Zodiac,” I said, handing off the binoculars. “They get any closer, they’ll get flipped.” “Or be overcome by anchovy breath.” Also very close to the smorgie were countless sea birds that formed a whirling, clattering, frenzied cloud over the scene. Flying low over the water, the birds were so numerous and thick they looked like flowing corpuscles. At intervals, pelicans would wheel up out of the avian cyclone to splash-bomb into the feeding whale vortex. As the afternoon waned, the feeding pods grew fewer and farther between, and several charter boats peeled off to return to their harbors. One last big group of humpbacks surrounded a signal buoy just seaward of the harbor mouth. “The anchovies must like that buoy,” my friend said. I trained the binoculars on the buoy as whales spouted, rolled, lunged, breeched and dove all around it. “That would be the place to watch from,” I mused. “But how do we get out there?” “I’ll call Ishmael.” July 25, 2014 • CEDAR STREET Come Walk In And See Times • Page 11 Orientations Offered to Pacific Grove Public Library New Catalog System The Pacific Grove Public Library implements the new catalog system beginning Monday, July 7.

Recent events, however, have cast doubt on the reliability of the carbon dating technique. Last year, an agency member tested a metal dish excavated near Manila. The carbon dating test indicated the dish was 2,100 years old. Since the dish bore Japanese markings, we were forced to revise our entire timetable of events regarding the history and development of the Philippine Islands. Several months ago, while the dish was on display in a Philippine museum, a Japanese tourist recognized the design and identified the dish as a World War II Japanese mess kit. In another unrelated incident, one of our members unearthed a skeleton from beneath a New Jersey garbage dump. Although obviously not human, the bones bore a strong physical resemblance to previously discovered Neanderthal men. Measurements of the uniquely shaped cranium and extraordinary arm length further buoyed our hopes that we had uncovered a major archaeological find. The ultimate test was carbon dating. You can imagine our euphoria when carbon dating placed the age of the bones within the Neanderthal period. Unfortunately, the New Jersey coroner’s office later identified the bones as those of a union labor leader who mysteriously vanished in 1954. At this time, we are unsure if the carbon dating technique itself is invalid, or if the mistakes were caused by unqualified technicians performing the tests. Carbon dating has been used successfully (at least we think it has) for many years. Should the technique be proven invalid, archaeologists will have to carefully examine and possibly revise currently accepted theories regarding the history and development of the entire human race.

Long considered simply a place to rest one’s buttocks, the lowly wooden chair has been elevated to celebrity status, and is being welcomed at inns and B&B throughout America. It’s all part of a consciousness raising experiment among innkeepers. Over July 15-18, the chair made its way to Monterey and the Jabberwock Inn. That explains why innkeepers Lauren and Suzanne Weichert were shooting images of the Red Chair at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, Cannery Row, and Fisherman’s Wharf, as well as the Jabberwock Inn. It all started in winter 2012 with a single image. Woods Hole Inn innkeeper Beth Colt of New York state posted a picture on Facebook of her simple red chair perched on the ice behind her house and watched her page light up with “likes.” The picture was shared on the Facebook page of Julie Ann Cromer, a photographer from Santa Barbara, who was inspired by the image to visit the Woods Hole Inn and took an amazing second photo of the chair on a local beach. This inspired Colt to share the chair with other innkeepers, sending it on a journey through towns and villages throughout Cape Cod last spring and then across the six New England states last fall and winter. As innkeepers all over New England were inspired by the chair, it has taken on a personality of its own. “Now it’s time for the chair to branch out,” said Beth Colt. “Innkeepers across the country are clamoring to host the chair, so it’s time to send it coast-to-coast in every corner of America the Beautiful. There would be no Red Chair without the generosity of innkeepers and B&Bs. It’s a barn-raising of sorts; the sharing of a piece of Americana,” concluded Colt. Who is ‘Flat Stanley?’ If you don’t have grade-school aged children, you may not be aware of the Flat Stanley Project. “Flat Stanley Lambchop” is a fictional character, created in 1924. He gets flattened by a bulletin board and in that condition, finds that he can do some pretty amazing things, including being mailed all over the world. In the mid-1990s, Flat Stanley became a conduit for literacy as the Flat Stanley Project took hold. Children mailed their homemade Flat Stanley and his log book to “pen pals” all over the world, encouraging photos and log entries. More than 50 countries have participated so far. Stories from the Red Chair’s travels have been chronicled on blogs at each stop throughout its journey. Look for tales of the Red Chair’s travels the Jabberwock Inn on (jabberwockinn.com). “Red,” as it has become known, visited Vagabond’s House Inn in Carmel from July 10-14. The Red Chair went next to the Sand Rock Farm Bed and Breakfast in Aptos. For a compilation of these blogs, visit www.redchairtravels.com/blog.html .

The resulting “Good Alternative” recommendation is a change from the previous “Best Choice” recommendation. The fishery hasn’t changed for the worse, rather the reassessment includes new information about bycatch and uses our new scoring criteria. Currently, there is no scientific stock assessment for Dungeness crab, which makes it difficult to say whether removing such large quantities of crab from the population is sustainable. There are also known gear interactions with endangered humpback whales in California, Oregon and Washington. While these interactions are rare, their impact is unknown. USA Today recently ran an excellent article containing Social Security information for those who have worked in both the public and private sectors. This information bears repeating here since a large percentage of people on the Monterey Peninsula have worked as a civilian for DOD or another federal, state, or local agency and have also worked in the private sector. At first blush, it would seem that these public/private retirees might have the best of both worlds by being eligible to receive a public pension as well as Social Security. However, under the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), you may not be eligible for all the Social Security benefits you think are coming to you. Before 1983, people who worked in both public and private jobs could collect a full pension when they retired, as well as Social Security benefits, as long as they qualified. Benefits were calculated as though the employee had been a lowwage worker throughout his or her career. Not only were public employees able to retire with a pension, but any additional work in which employees paid into Social Untitled F-406, from Jerry Takigawa's False Food photo series, has won a Gold Security was calculated with maximum returns in mind. Therefore, a retired public Medal Award in the 2014 San Francisco International Photography Exhibition.

The first amount is multiplied by 90%, the second by 32%, and anything left over, by 15%. Adding them together gives you your monthly benefit. It’s that 90% bracket that the WEP uses to reduce your benefit. You may be exempt from the WEP under certain circumstances, one of which is that you had 30 years or more of “substantial” earnings. In order to obtain a 90% exemption from the WEP, you will need that full 30 years; the percentage drops after that. With 20 or fewer years of substantial earnings, the multiplier is only 40%. The SSA’s Retirement Planner gives an indication of how this might work. The maximum monthly reduction for someone reaching age 62 this year, with 20 or fewer years of substantial earnings, is $408.00. A few things affect this amount, however. One is that the WEP will never be more than one-half of your non-Social Security pension; the other has to do with cost of living adjustments.

I loved to escape the city sounds and smells, drink tea, and watch the koi fish glide through the ponds. I was first introduced to the gardens as a little girl. Holding the gloved hand of my grandmother, we entered through massive, red carved double doors into a magical world of miniature trees and curvy roofed buildings. I’ll forever remember looking down at her from the arched wooden bridge with perilous planks that were the stairs. Grandma declined my invitation to join me in the hand-over-hand crawl to the top of the bridge and instead sat with grace on a bumpy stone bench. Those visual delights, which fascinated me as a child, are still eye-candy to my adult self. The exotic orange and silver koi hold special memories and the moss covered stone lanterns are an inspiration in my ceramic art. I continue to “stone hop” on the jiggy-jaggy path that cuts through one of the koi filled ponds. Traditional Japanese gardens may be as simple as a several well-tended plants in a small entryway or as elaborate as meandering paths and tea houses on a multi-acre estate designed with artificial hills and valleys. The starkness of a predominately sand and boulder Zen meditation garden is by no means easy to tend, but it holds a special place in defining Asian gardens. Design elements these gardens have in common are simple lines, interesting year-round features, and imitating the rhythm of nature. I’ve heard people say that walking through an Asian garden is like being in a three-dimensional painting. Water Even in times of drought, a small stone or ceramic basin filled with water will create a spot of tranquility. The wind may ripple the surface creating slight movement, and reflections of the sky can add an ever-changing, interesting visual. Birds and local cats will enjoy a quick sip, though probably not at the same time. Of course, a pond is lovely, but requires regular maintenance. The addition of Koi would be heaven, but in light of all the raccoons, a plastic rubber ducky would elicit livelier conversation than the skeletal remains of a fish. The use of sand raked in long, sweeping lines mimics the movement of water. For obvious reasons, this feature is difficult to maintain. Especially if you’re a cat owner. Paths and Stepping Stones Artfully arranged stones or pavers instantly add an Asian feel to any garden. By “artfully arranged,” I mean both visually pleasing and comfortable to walk on or stone hop along. This may take several attempts at moving the stones to create a casual flow and to account for the “negative space” between the edges. I recently discovered that Japanese paths were intentionally laid out in seemingly haphazard patterns to prevent evil spirits from traversing along them and into the adjoining house or temple. However, I believe that they are laid out so that one can walk slowly along the paths and enjoy the beauty of a garden. Lanterns and Lighting Nothing highlights a well thought-out garden more than the addition of light. The origin of lighting in the garden, specifically the use of oil lamps, most likely came from China in the 6th century or from Korea at a later date. The first lanterns were bronze and were used primarily to light paths to Buddhist temples and to Shinto shrines. Hence, lanterns became a symbol of spiritual enlightenment. Japanese gardens have stone, metal, or ceramic lanterns that may be used emit a quiet evening glow. Their designs may reflect the simple, organic nature of a rock or a more elaborate structure that evokes a large structure. They can be short and Dana Goforth Diggin’ It Dana Goforth lives in Pacific Grove with 4 longhaired cats and a garden in need of water. She is a writer, artist, teacher, and gardener. You can find out more about Dana at www.danagoforth.com. squat or placed on a tall pedestal. As with most things Japanese, there are many different types of lanterns -some with whimsical designs. The Snow Viewing lantern (yukimi doro) has three legs with one leg on land and the other two in water. The broad roof of this lantern captures large amounts of snow and is particularly attractive in the winter. If you are lucky enough to have fireflies in your garden, the Water Firefly lantern (mizubotaru) invites the little critters for viewing. Around here, however, moths are the most likely to visit. And of course, there are hanging lanterns… Traditional Plants Evergreen bushes and trees that have interesting foliage and can be shaped in eye pleasing ways are key to a well-balanced Japanese garden. Many plants also have symbolic references to landscapes throughout the country. The Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtuse), for instance, represents “deep mountains.” There are many cultivars of this traditionally green leafed plant including Nana Lutea, which is compact and has lovely golden yellow foliage. There are also many dwarf hinoki varieties that are suitable for small gardens. Japanese black pine (Pinus thungergii) is a classic with long needles and an interesting white sheath at the base. The bark begins as a shade of grey and matures to a rich black tone as it matures. Black pines are also resistant to salt, making it an ideal plant to grow on the coast. The elegant azalea (genus Rhododendron) is a flowering shrub and pares nicely with conifers. There are over 10,000 different cultivars to choose from with a complete spectrum of colors. Deciduous plants, including fruit trees, are a common feature in an Asian garden. Plant them not only for fall color but also for interesting or unusual bark and branching structures. The Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is an Old World tree that has an uncommon leaf shape and is striking in the autumn. Different species of flowering cherry (Prunus spp.) fit the bill with the added bonus of stunning flowers in the spring. One of my personal favorites is the Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttalli). This species of tree is native to California and, like the flowering cherry, has an abundance of blooms in the spring. An added bonus is the colorful bark that appears in the winter. There are many interesting species of maple trees (Acer palmatum) available, and maples are a must in a traditional garden layout. Unusual leaf structure, fall and spring foliage color, and elegant branching are all attributes of these trees. The best time to purchase a maple is in the fall. One out of ten plants has the whopper color appeal. What Japanese garden would not include bamboo? There are many varieties, including dwarf bamboo for ground cover and towering species for privacy. (See Diggin’ It September 2013 for more about bamboo). Finally, Japanese iris is a broad term that actually includes three different species. The Hanashobu thrives with their feet in the water while the Aame variety prefers dry land (both pair nicely with stone lanterns). The Kakitsubata tolerates both water and dry land. Most of these irises have showy flowers that bloom late spring and last through mid-summer. There are many other ways to touch your garden with a Japanese flair.

Page 16 • CEDAR STREET Times • July 25, 2014 The ABC’s of Legal Titles Do You Own Inches of Land in the Yukon? Kyle A. Krasa, Esq. Travis H. Long, CPA Planning for Each Generation Travis on Taxes When I was growing up, I remember my Dad once telling me that he owned eight square inches of land in Canada. He said he got the land as a promotion when buying cereal as a young boy. At the time, I thought that was kind of cool, and just accepted it at face value. As I look back on that now from my perspective as an accountant, dealing with all kinds of financial related issues on a daily basis, a lot more questions come to mind. For instance, where are the deeds to the property, and how would we find the right recorder’s office to get copies of the deeds if needed? Were the deeds ever even recorded? Was it a fee simple interest? Did he have mineral rights? Eight square inches may be just enough to drill a very small oil well! Or maybe there is gold! How would that impact his retirement planning? What about real estate taxes? Typically land requires the annual or semi-annual payment of property taxes or the land is taken back or sold to settle the outstanding debt if unpaid. Are there any laws regarding foreign ownership of land or any new requirements to look into regarding foreign asset holdings? Could we lease the land, and what would the tax impacts be? Should my Dad have included it in his estate planning so that loose ends would not pop up at some point which could result in title problems or perhaps probate? Would there be any liability associated with this land, and should he have carried a general liability or perhaps an umbrella insurance policy in case his eight inches contained a stone on which someone could have tripped?! What was his cost basis on these inches and how much profit would be recognized if we sold it? All of these questions and more find their way to my door step for other client issues. As an accountant, we often end up as the independent advisor - like the hub in a wheel with spokes running out to the financial planner, investment advisor, insurance agent, attorney, banker, etc. Almost every profession leads back to taxes and tax planning in some way. In my Dad’s case, I found we did not have any real concerns, but there is a fantastic story to go along these inches of land which you can read all about at: http:// www.yukoninfo.com/dawson-city-yukon/the-klondike-big-inch/. The gist of the story is that this was a marketing plan in 1955 developed by Bruce Baker to get children to buy Quaker Oats Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals. Baker decided to tie-in a popular radio and television show which Quaker Oats sponsored, “Sergeant Preston of the Yukon” by offering children the opportunity to own one square inch of land in the Yukon in Canada if they bought cereal. The attorneys thought the idea was crazy, but Baker persisted and even flew to the Yukon and secured a 19.11 acre parcel to be divided up into 21 million one-square-inch parcels. The company eventually agreed to the idea and thus began their most successful campaign ever. Cereal boxes flew off the shelves as deeds were printed and inserted into each box, and every one inch parcel was given away. They did a second campaign and Baker had four tons of Yukon riverbed sand sifted and packaged into tiny promotional pieces as well. As the years rolled on, the inquiries about these hard-earned plots of land kept coming in by owners that wanted to know more about their plot of land, or its worth, and also by estate planning attorneys that were trying to figure out what to do with these deeds! One child was said to have sent four toothpicks and a string and asked the Quaker Oats company to put a fence up around his property! One person collected over 10,000 of these from people around the country and asked Quaker Oats to pick See LONG Page 17 Initials listed after a professional’s name often designate accomplishment, title, and authority. While the use of “M.D.” for doctors and “Ph.D.” for professors is widely understood, the initials commonly present after attorneys’ names are less known. Below is list of the most common legal titles and their meanings. J.D. “J.D.” refers to “Juris Doctor,” “Doctor of Law,” or “Doctor of Jurisprudence.” It means “Teacher of Law” or “Teacher of Legal Knowledge” in Latin and is the degree conferred upon persons who have completed law school in the United States and thus earned a law degree. Most law schools require students to have a Bachelor’s degree to gain admittance and full-time law school in the United States is generally three years. Earning a “J.D.” does not confer the right to practice law. Instead, each state administers its own admission guidelines including the requirement to pass a Bar Exam. When you see “J.D.” after a person’s name, that person has graduated from law school but is not necessarily licensed to practice law. LL.M “LL.M” refers to a “Masters in the Letters of Law.” It is an advanced law degree after someone completes a “J.D.” An “LL.M” is often pursued by students who are interested in gaining expertise in a concentrated area of the law. Some “LL.M” degrees are available for foreign lawyers who wish to learn about the host country’s legal system (referred to as a “Comparative Law Degree”). Esq. “Esq.” often succeeds an attorney’s name. “Esq.” is an abbreviation for “Esquire.” Originally a term of social status in England (above a “gentleman” and below a “knight”), in the United States it is customarily used to designate a person licensed to practice law. Although “Esq.” is not an official title, because it is often associated with persons who are licensed to practice law, most state laws prevent non-lawyers from using the designation. In California, in order to practice law and thus be allowed to use the unofficial “Esq.” designation, a person must pass a three-day, 18-hour written Bar Exam as well as pass a separate ethics exam and meet several other qualifications. CLS California, as well as many other states, has a program to certify its practicing attorneys as “Certified Legal Specialists” in one or more of eleven different practice areas. In order to become a Certified Legal Specialist (“CLS”), a California attorney must have been practicing in the area of specialty for a minimum of five years, be an active member of the California Bar, demonstrate performance in a number of designated tasks in the particular field of specialization, demonstrate education performance in the particular field of specialization, pass a written 6.5-hour specialist exam, and demonstrate proficiency in the particular field of specialization through independent inquiry and review.

Krasa, B.A., J.D., Esq., CLS earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature from Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont, earned his Juris Doctor degree from UC Davis School of Law, is a licensed attorney by the State Bar of California, and is Certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as a Certified Legal Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, & Probate Law.

The reality of what happened is that the company that was created to handle all the deeds - The Klondike Big Inch Company, Inc. realized it would be way to expensive to record all the deeds in each child’s name, so with the opinion of a Canadian attorney they decided to send the deeds out and never have them officially registered. The Klondike Big Inch Company, Inc. did not pay the $37.20 property tax bill in 1965, so the land reverted back to the Canadian government. The company then shut its doors. Still, to this day, however, nearly 65 years later, Canada and Quaker Oats receive hundreds of communications each year regarding the land!
