Pacific Grove says ‘Thanks’ to all veterans By Win Bryson This Sunday morning’s gathering for the Pt. Pinos for Veterans’ Day program brought a 2nd stream of thoughts to-heart. The morning’s ‘amber tinted’ sunlight and ‘log fire aroma’ replaced our normal coast salt-air. This ‘Camp’ wildfire’s smoke also brought ‘home’ the reality of the plight and tragedy for those millions of Californians in harms way from wild-fires up-and-down the state, not unlike a wartime assault first responders, residents and emergency assistance alike needing our teamwork and support...now...as U.S. WWI Soldiers & Sailors did 100 years ago. Approaching Pt. Pinos, the El Carmelo Cemetery across the street was resplendent in flag-lined roadway ‘dress’ with crisp breezes. My view from the gate of the many visitors throughout the cemetery was punctuated by a beautiful WWII Jeep making its way among the waving flags (toward Pt. Pinos). A mutual ‘wave & smile’ were exchanged as it passed-by. Arriving early at Pt. Pinos, Councilman Ken Cuneo noted to me how the Veternas’ Day programs here were being attended more and more. I agreed, and how encouraging that is to ensure no-one ‘forgets’ Vets, of any generation. We both agreed how wonderful the organization and support in for this program are, making it successful and inviting for all age groups, over and over. No small task. Assembled at 10:30am, (who?) opened the program by announcing the ‘Presentation of the Colors’ by the USAF Color Guard (1). Once set, the Color Guard remained with the Colors throughout the program. Once Set, (who?) (2) announced the National Anthem sung by the Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS) Chorus directed by Mr. Jared Masar. Inspiration continued with the Invocation by Capt. Philip Vincent, USAF Chaplain (3), and then the Pledge of Allegiance. Following welcoming remarks by retir-

Smoky air cancels Big Sur Half Marathon Traffic plans and other preparations remain on paper and are not implemented.
From the Half Marathon Website: Due to the rapidly declining air quality situation in the Monterey Bay area, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Monterey Bay Half Marathon scheduled for tomorrow, November 11, 2018. For the last several hours, we have been monitoring weather outlets and tracking wind patterns in our area. This morning, during our 3K and 5K events, air quality was deemed “moderate” and safe for outdoor activity. Saturday afternoon, however, the wind shifted dramatically, blowing smoke from the northeast directly onto our peninsula.
Weather maps forecast that air quality in our area will remain in the “unhealthy” to “very unhealthy” area into Sunday afternoon. After consulting with our Medical Director and the National Weather Service, we have determined that it is not safe for runners, volunteers, staff, and other race-related personnel to participant in tomorrow’s scheduled events. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment that comes with canceling the race but we feel it is the appropriate course of action at this time. We will notify all participants regarding future event considerations via email early next week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

ing Mayor Bill Kampe, Councilman Ken Cuneo (4) provided an amazingly detail-packed picture of the times and circumstances leading up to (and into) WWI, including the infamous ‘Zimmerman Memo’, the discovery of which brought the U.S. in into the War. Albeit 100 years ago, many ‘lessons’ remain applicable now. Now 11:00am, the bell was rung for the 11th-hour of the 11thday of the 11th month in 1918 when WWI hostilities ceased. That was followed by the PGMS Chorus (5) singing ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’. While listening I wondered how many generations of kids have grown-up with this song. The main guest speaker Lt. Col. Matthew Murphy, USAF (6), gave an interesting talk about the sound of leadership - quiet - and gave some examples in his experience. He also asked those kids still in school to stand and then let them know (and see) they are the leaders of the future so what they do even now is important. Capt. Philip Vincent followed with the Benediction, then Mayor Kampe (7) formally thanked all the program participants, and lastly all joined-in with the PGMS Chorus singing ‘God Bless America’. The program closed with the Color Guard retiring the Colors (8). Thank you everyone. For the Vets, every day, Win Bryson”

Holiday Safety Tips for Pet Owners Seasonal pet safety tips can help you avoid trouble and keep pets happy and healthy. Now that the winter holiday season is upon us it is important to remember that celebrations can be happy events but they also need to be critter friendly. There are a lot of different holiday dangers and seasonal threats that can be overlooked such as festive decorations, ornamental lighting, ingestion of inappropriate or toxic items, excessive consumption of rich foods or harmful food, candle flames, and more. It is also important that both guests and family understand the need for restraint when it comes to giving food treats. Most people are not aware that rich foods and inappropriate feeding can create serious health hazards for those furry friends. Dangerous holiday favorites include chocolate, coffee, onions, fatty foods, alcoholic beverages, and cooked bones. Grapes and raisins can also be hazardous. Fortunately a few pet precautions can make the winter festivities into safe and humane holiday celebrations. Visitors and family members need to understand that slipping an animal the wrong snacks can really pose life threatening danger. Avoiding the need for emergency veterinary visits can be prevented by clearly stating guidelines and/or taking preventative measures to avoid risk. One of the easiest things to do, prior to any gatherings, is to make sure that the animals have been exercised so all excess energy is redirected before the excitement begins. In some cases it is easier (and safer) to keep pets away from the main festivities. Taking such measures removes all temptation and prevents unintentional harm or distress. Good holiday etiquette means pets are mannerly and if not, restrained in adjacent areas by a baby gate or pet play pen so they can have their own “pet party.” Unless invited, pet owning guests should leave their animals safely at their home, or

have them confined comfortably in a travel crate away from the festivities. Pet sitters or holiday boarding can be good options. A good household practice is to keep household animals occupied with their own treats and activities so they do not become pests. Pets can be part of the family activities, but safety is first and foremost. It is much more manageable if you plan ahead or fine-tune your guest list to those who are pet people who will follow good petiquette rules. Watch for my Holiday Petiquette Tips in the next column.

Rovin’ in the Grove
Marty Dunn Rovin’ in the Grove by Marty Dunn I’ve been spending a lot of time on foot and by car meandering the main streets and the small by-ways in my new town. It’s hard to imagine the population only hovers around the 15,000 mark, since the town boundaries seem to span quite a distance and there is housing most everywhere. Some of that housing must surely serve as second homes for those with who live and vote elsewhere. It seems noteworthy that, contrary to what is found in most other burgs, there does not seem to be a ‘poor side of town’ here in PG. Certainly, there are some houses/gardens scattered here and there that could use some TLC, but there are not blocks of them, and the cared-for spots far outnumber those less fortunate. Conversely, is there a ‘ritzy’ part of town? From my still-learning point of view, I would guess not really. The Beach Tract has some largish homes and grounds, as does the Forest Hill area. Apartment buildings dot the lots here and there, interspersed with some condos and the retirement facilities which are well known in these parts. Historic cottages tend to cluster near the water, reflecting their original purpose of providing summer sanctuary for many of the Methodist retreaters and others who sought PG’s beach and cool climes.
These multi-colored, mostly Victorian homes are small in square footage but add large helpings of special character to this already-charming town. It’s lovely to wander the streets, noting the green historical plaques adorning so many of these abodes. What was it like to be here in those first years? City facilities and commercial sites are often just a stone’s throw from parks and schools, giving the town a feeling of connectedness. Chain stores don’t feature much in the makeup of PG, which only increases the ‘hometown’ atmosphere. Downtown offers a little of everything, from hardware to fancy threads, to antiques, a cobbler and wonderful eateries and libation stations. With the expanding arts scene, there is also generous opportunity to enjoy, and perhaps purchase, local artists’ and artisans’ creations. For such a small town, there is a healthy variety of shopping experiences with real depth and breadth. Factor in the terrific library, the ever-stunning recreation path, spiritual havens, and a golf course that is shared with Bambi and her many, many relatives, and who could ask for a fairer place to call home? I know I could not; after only five months, I feel I’ve arrived home in Pacific Grove.

Tracy Allen Smith | February 10, 1965 - October 26, 2018
Obituary
Tracy Allen Smith passed away peacefully on 26 October 2018 in Monterey, California. He was born in Dallastown, PA to Sue Smith on 10 February 1965. Tracy dedicated his life of 53 years to service for his country and his family. He is survived by his wife of 17 years Jennifer and his son Alexander (Xander). An only child born of modest means, Tracy worked on a local fruit farm at the age of 12, managing it by age 15. Tracy graduated from Dallastown High School in 1983 where he excelled in both academics and sports. As Pennsylvania State Athlete of the Year, Tracy broke high school records for a running back including most touchdowns in a season and most touchdowns in one game. His record stood for 33 years. Tracy attended Duke University on a football scholarship and was the Blue Devils’ leading rusher in 1986. He studied a semester at Cambridge University and then graduated from Duke with honors. He went on to earn a masters degree in International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh. Upon graduation, Tracy was a staff aide to Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford. He then began working for a Washington DC based defense contractor where he traveled to Kazakhstan for the Defense Nuclear Agency to assist with the dismantlement of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Tracy then joined the CIA where, as an operations officer in the Counter Proliferation
Division, he specialized in counterterrorism and the counterproliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In 1999, Tracy went on assignment to Budapest, Hungary where he tracked down nuclear material smugglers. There he met his wife, Jennifer Lee. He proposed two years later in London on the London Eye and they were married in Hallam, Pennsylvania on 21 October 2001. Following their marriage, Tracy and Jen were stationed in Amman, Jordan where he worked with international allies on Counter Terrorism. Because of his WMD expertise, he was then deployed to Baghdad, Iraq. After returning from the Middle East, Tracy founded his own defense contracting business. He then founded Operational Surveyors, which provides analytical and operational support to government agencies, private companies, and academic institutions. In 2005, Tracy and Jen’s son Xander was born. Tracy loved being a father and cherished his wife and son. Tracy, Jen and Xander spent several wonderful years living in Incline Village, NV where Tracy served as a Boy Scout Leader and was an avid hiker. They moved to Pacific Grove, CA in 2016. A fan of jazz music, Tracy served on the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Ambassadors Advisory Board. Later in his career, he founded The Global Resource Initiative (TGRI), a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the productivity and livelihood of people in the developing world through access to information, expertise and technology. Tracy’s life of adventure included hiking Petra in Jordan, honeymooning along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, vacationing on the Turkish side of Cyprus, scuba diving in the Red Sea, and camping in the Wadi Rum Desert.

THE CHRISTMAS BALLET
Jane Roland
Other Random Thoughts
Leap into the holidays!
OPENS NEXT WEEK!
God Bless America! Today is Veteran’s Day. To most or many of us, the official celebration is simply a day off. When I was young, it was known as Armistice Day, the anniversary of World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – which officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
Celebrate our 25th anniversary with this joyous showcase featuring a stunning and original array of ballet,

Perhaps because I spent my early days on an army post and my parents were exceedingly patriotic. My Mother’s family were early settlers of this country. They were not to the manor born, but as so many escaped from England to enjoy freedom of religion. It is ironic that Benjamin Morse’s wife was accused of witchcraft in 1682, convicted and sentenced to death from which she was reprieved with sense began to prevail in New England. These folk came to America for a better life, as did my father and his family over two hundred years later. What is happening today, appalls and frightens most of us. The hatred that prevails is something most of us have not seen before. I must confess I was not in the heart of things at the end of the Vietnam War, which was also a shameful time. When we hear about those returning from war with PTSD it is astounding that there are not more. I can’t imagine, how many of us can imagine the horrors they have seen and experienced. We should get on our knees and thank these brave people who have enabled us to remain unscathed, instead we wage a war within. We hear daily about mass murders. While I don’t own a gun and have reservations about guns in the home, I don’t believe weapons are the culprits. If someone wants a gun, he or she will get one, somehow. There needs to be more careful surveillance. In several cases we have learned that the perpetrator had demonstrated erratic behavior in the past and should have been locked-up somewhere. However, that is not the point of this column. I just wish we could return to the days when our eyes misted at a parade and our flag waving. Listen to Kate Smith and “God Bless America”.. think about what wounded warriors and those who didn’t make it back have given to us. For a moment, take a breath, shake hands with your political opponent and be thankful you live in a country where you have the freedom to express differences..

MENGJUN CHEN | PHOTO BY CHRIS HARDY
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations”The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Carmel 3rd Q 2017 vs. 2018
Market Matters
Patrick Ryan
Local Real Estate Update We will now shift our gaze to our very active, in the sense of residential real estate, neighbor of Carmel, California. Carmel is a very unique market with a style and substance all its own. It is truly an international destination for travelers and buyers of real estate. The following numbers reflect sales of single-family homes only, they do not include condos or townhomes. If any of you readers would like me to examine the sales of condos and/or townhomes in the future, just shoot me an email and let me know. For quick reference to the table above, sold means the total amount of single family
Another Southern California home-price boom is cooling. Is a crash looming? Source: Los Angeles Times
homes that sold in 2017 and 2018. List price is what the home was listed for and sold price is what the home ultimately sold for. DOM stands for days on market, or how long it took the home to sell. Price per square foot is determined by dividing the final sales price by the square footage of the home, which can be useful when evaluating the asking price or determining the sales price of a home. If we compare Carmel to Pacific Grove and Monterey, every metric is larger. From the amount of homes sold, the list price, the sold price, the days on market and the price per square foot, Carmel is higher than both Pacific Grove and Monterey. A note should be made that the MLS(Multiple Listing Service) expanded the geographical footprint of Carmel to reach out into the Valley and in the Highlands some, but the majority of the sales are in Carmel proper. The largest increases were in the average list price and the average sold price with them going up 17.9% and 17.8% respectively. This coincides with a 10.5% increase in the price per square foot. The most expensive home sold in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was on Aquajito which sold for $6.76 million and the most expensive home in the 3rd quarter of 2018 was on Spindrift which sold for $8.475 million. The least expensive home in the 3rd quarter of 2017 was for $665,000 on Ocean Ave. and the least expensive home for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was on Mesa Rd. which sold for $525,000. The only negative number in the table above is the average days on market, with a 13.3% decrease when comparing the 3rd quarter of 2018 vs. 2017. The longest days on market for 2017 was 685 days for a home on Peter Pan Road and the longest days on market for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was 614 days for a home located on Touche Pass. The shortest days on market was 2 days for 3rd quarter of 2018 and 1 day for the 3rd quarter of 2017.
The Southern California housing market has been on a nearly seven-year tear, with prices in many communities reaching all-time highs. But now, as mortgage rates rise, the boom appears to be fading. Sales are dropping; inventory is swelling; more sellers are scaling back their ambitious asking prices. The annals of postwar Southern California real estate history are full of boomand-bust cycles, with periods of sharp price appreciation that suddenly skid to a halt. Whether those ups and downs offer any guidance — or hope — for today’s homeowners is a subject for debate. Some of those who study the housing market predict annual price increases will slow. Others think values could dip. But there is general agreement that a meltdown is not in the offing, given a healthy economy and dearth of home building. The current slowdown, said Christopher Thornberg of Beacon Economics, “is a bump in the road.” Of course, that’s what some said before the last two busts, in the early 1990s and mid- to late 2000s. First the good news: There is little reason to believe a bubble anything like the one that popped in 2007 has formed or is forming now. Last decade, the region was several years into a real estate upswing when prices accelerated. They increased at double-digit rates for six years, fueled by a wave of risky, even predatory, lending. Borrowed money could be used for an entire down payment. Lenders didn’t require proof of income. Low “teaser” rates lured homeowners, but socked them later with huge payments. In some cases, the loan principal that homeowners owed even grew, because their payments didn’t cover interest. Mortgage lending is relatively restrained. Last decade, total mortgage debt consistently grew by double digits. In the second quarter, those debts rose only 3.5% from the same period a year earlier, Federal Reserve data show.
Carmel continues to be a draw for the international buyer, much like portions of Pebble Beach. It is amazing to think that the average sales price is now above $2.2 million dollars. With a market this active, is it any wonder that the town is full of construction trucks everywhere. Next week we will take a look at Pebble Beach and then Seaside and Marina. Until then, please feel free to contact me with any questions. Cheers
Homeowners aren’t as squeezed. Total U.S. mortgage payments in the second quarter accounted for 4.2% of total disposable personal income, the lowest level in at least 38 years. The rate was in the 6% range for most of the mid-2000s bubble, and it hit 7% just before the crash.
Patrick.ryan@sothebyshomes.com Broker Associate 831-238-8116 www. pebblebeachabodes.com
Borrowers are less risky. The median credit score for those taking out a mortgage in the second quarter was 760, compared to a bubble-era low of 707.“I don’t think we need to worry this time around about a bursting of a credit bubble,” said Stuart Gabriel, director of the Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA. “We can cross that factor off the list.”
The Carmel Valley Report
Bob Silverman
Thousands of steelhead trout rescued in 2018 Carmel River Steelhead Trout Rescued In 2018 (cCRSA 2018)
The image of rescued Steelhead Trout was provided by the Carmel Steelhead Association Chairmen Brian LeNeve. LeNeve said that “We rescued close to 3,000 fish this year with help from National Marine Fisheries Services”. The fish in the above image were rescued in the Cachagua area and released into the Carmel River. The Steelhead Association has been helping save the steelhead in the Carmel River and it would be interesting and educational to look at their web site on a regular basis as well as considering joining this group which is vital to the preservation of the fish and the river. When we moved to the Valley in 1988 the river had not reached the Ocean for quite sometime. It was a time of drought. In the early 1990’s efforts were undertaken to transport returning steelhead up river so that the Carmel River Steelhead would continue to survive. The Lamprey Els also swim up river with the steelhead. See the Cedar Street Times Report that I prepared on that subject on Dec. 16, 2016 which was also prepared with the help of LeNeve. The most recent meeting of the Steelhead Group was on Nov. 15. Check their web site for programs of educational interest and open to the public. Their meetings are held at the Carmel Area Wast Water District Community Room located at 3549 Rio Road, Carmel, Calif.The membership dues to join are $25.00 for one person or $45.00 for a family. The Association stated in its recent newsletter that “Our Carmel River run of steelhead was in excess of 18,000 in the 1920’s and has declined to an average of 242 recored fish over the San Clemente Dam between 2006 and 2015”. Be sure to check the web site of the University Of California Hasting Natural History Reservation. We took a tour several years ago. You need to make reservations. It is located on Carmel Valley Road just east of the Carmel Valley Village. The Hasting website explains that there have been 500 research projects carried out at the location since 1937. The size of the Reservation is quite large and students from around the world join University Of California students in doing research. Most people that we talk to do not even know that it is there. It just as important as any research program in Monterey County.
Also be sure to visit the CARMEL VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY located on Carmel Valley Road near the Carmel Valley Village. Check their web site for times that they are open and consider joining a valuable educational group. Stay tuned for more news of the Valley.

Buddy Poppies honor Veterans and raise Funds By Brice Gamble, 8h Grade History teacher Buddy Poppies are returning to Pacific Grove thanks to the effort of the Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS). In honor of Veterans Day, for the past two weekends PGMS students sold Buddy Poppies to honor Veterans and raise funds for both the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. Townspeople and visitors alike were enthusiastic and generous with their donations. Students collected over $2,000 from the two weekend effort. Collectively, with the sale of Buddy Poppies and contributions from students, parents, donors, and the community, Pacific Grove Middle School has raised over $6,500 this year and is continuing to raise funds. Liam and Alex Yager spent over 16 hours selling Poppies in front of the Post Office on Veterans Day weekend).
Many people were touched that the tradition of Buddy Poppies has returned and for the respect being shown to Veterans. Most Veterans were surprised and pleased to be acknowledged. On Tuesday, November 13th Pacific Grove Middle School held a thirty-minute celebration for Veterans. The entire school, parents, Veterans, and a number of active service members came to watch the ceremony. Students read the famous “In Flanders Field” poem and one student shared his experience of growing up in Afghanistan, coming under fire from the Taliban and being saved by the U.S. Military. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the brave men and women who saved him, his family, and his country. The next two speakers shared their experiences of being “Army Brats,” how challenging it is, and how proud they are of their parents for serving. All students wore Blue Stars that symbolize either a loved one or friend who has or is currently serving in the
Armed Forces. The Veterans were asked to fill out Gold Stars, which represent service members they know who lost their lives serving our country. All of the Blue Stars were collected at the end of the day, transformed into large banners and will be hung and displayed all year at the Middle School. Throughout the rest of the day each class at PGMS incorporated the theme of “Conflict” into lesson plans. For example, in history, teachers had students give five minute presentations on all U.S. Conflicts. In math, teachers had students compare the casualty rate of conflicts to the population at the time and in science, students learned about the devastation of the conflicts both on the populations and the lasting effect on the environment. We hope this celebration of Veterans and their loved ones continues to grow and are deeply proud of Pacific Grove’s commitment to honoring Veterans.

Lost in the Fire
COP LOG Continued from page 5 Matt Guerra grew up in Pacific Grove. He attended PG Schools from Kindergarten with Mr. Williams, to Robert H. Down Elementary School, PG Middle School and eventually PG High School. He was #70 on the PG High Breakers football team under Coach Buck Roggeman. Matt’s PG classmates know him as a caring guy, a hard worker and mostly as a great husband, dad, and friend.
Matt was out of town when the fire took his house. The smoke was thick nearby but began raining ash and started to spark fires near their property. His wife, Harvey, and their two daughters (ages 10 and 8) rushed to grab their dogs and what little they could in the house as they rushed to their vehicle seeing the neighboring houses on fire and their yard quickly becoming engulfed by the flames. The family said goodbyes on the cell phone with Matt as they left not thinking they could escape. They did escape with their lives and are very thankful for the blessing of having their family safe. They did receive word that they lost their home and everything inside. They are still searching nearby locations setup for pet retrieval daily for their pet cats. Matt is a person who will go out of his way to help others and he has a big heart. As someone who was born and raised a PG local, this is an opportunity for our community and fellow Pacific Grove alumni to help his family. A cousin of theirs, Stephanie Haedrich, has setup a gofundme account for the family at: www.gofundme.com/ help-the-guerras-recover items for the family.
She is also collecting clothing
At Forest Grove my son, Micah, will be sending a letter out in hopes to raise some funds to help this family. Our hearts go out to the victims of all the California fires and we are full of gratitude to our Firefighters, Police, and all of the First Responders.

Always the bridesmaid...

Sally Baho Post Cards from the Kitchen Mama’s Fish House: Maui, Hawaii Aloha from Hawaii! Here I am as a bridesmaid in another wedding. Please do not mistake this as sarcastic or displeased. I love weddings, I love traveling, I love being a part of a celebration, I love family (definitely my own but certainly meeting others’) and most of all I love love. There was a movie that came out a few years ago called “27 Dresses” about a young lady who is a perpetual bridesmaid. She has a whole closet dedicated to bridesmaid’s dresses, etc. I haven’t actually seen the movie…why would I? It’s my life. I didn’t have too much time to explore so the first day we landed (I was traveling with the maid of honor), I booked us a reservation for lunch at a restaurant that I had heard—from fellow travelers and review sites/blogs—was a great place to
eat on Maui, Mama’s Fish House. Our table wasn’t quite ready when we arrived so we ordered a couple Mai Tais from the bar and sipped our cocktails and admired the gorgeous orchids floating around the ice. What an amazing thing, to be in a place so abundant with flowers that every cocktail, lei, and countless other decorations are made of fresh flowers. That and the perfect climate make it obvious why they call it paradise. Once seated, we were brought an adorable little loaf of honey wheat bread and a side dish of butter. Bikini season or not, I love butter on my bread. The perfect accompaniment to a cocktail and a gorgeous view. I had never seen this before on a menu but Mama’s puts the name of the
fisherman who caught the fish on the menu. Evidently, Mama’s has a team of fishermen who go out fishing every day and everything served is caught within the past twenty-four hours. It’s not a large menu but it certainly is fresh. We split Papa’s sashimi as an appetizer and it was great, thick slices of three different fish each topped with some pickled fruit or vegetable or a jam and each with a different salt alongside—smoked, pink, and black. The waitress recommended we dip each slice of fish in its respective salt. It was a pretty cool experience, a crunch of salt that triggers that warm salivary response along with the soft meaty taste of the cool fish. I ordered the monchong (deep sea pomfret) a white fish served with black

rice topped with onion chutney and vegetables—bock choy, broccoli, and carrots— with a ginger glaze. It was delicious. Melt in your mouth type of fish and perfectly al dente vegetables. The best way to welcome our vacation and enjoy a meal before the ensuing wedding activities. You may have heard the word aloha, it is a Hawaiian greeting used for hello and goodbye but one thing I noticed while on the island of Maui was the notion of “living aloha.” Aloha means more than simply hello or goodbye, it means love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kindness, and grace. Living aloha means going through life with compassion, love, mercy, affection, and peace. And what a beautiful thing. I leave you with a proverb I learned while in the Aloha State, Kahuna nui hale kealohalani Makua which means, love all you see, including yourself. So, I urge you to live aloha. We may not have orchids in all our cocktails here and tropical weather but we don’t have it so bad. Let’s embrace a little aloha in Monterey and love all we see, including ourselves. I always love hearing feedback so feel free to write me at SallyBaho@gmail.com or visit my website at www.SallyBaho.com to read more about my adventures and thoughts.

CEDAR STREET SUMMIT—Part 16 Kayla quits council as caravan comes to California Wanda Sue Parrott
Resigning effective December 1, Kayla Jones, 25, is retiring from her brief stint as Seaside City Councilmember and 2018 mayoral candidate (she lost to Ian Oglesby whose council seat she won in 2016). If you recall, this column announced “Kayla cockadoodledos council at Seaside City Hall” on Sept. 7. It detailed her outburst at the Sept. 4 council meeting at which she railed against alleged sexual harassment from the older all-male city council, and ended with a threat that basically sounded to me like: “If you don’t stop, I’ll make a lot of noise.” That’s why I called Kayla’s eloquent elocution “cockadoodling” and posed the question: “Did candidate crow like a hen or cackle like a cock?” For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. In the talented young city councilmember’s case, the karmic reaction that apparently prompted her resignation was a public outcry demanding that Kayla Jones be recalled for overspending public money, allegations against which she spent the last two months exonerating herself. That’s not the end of the story. Kayla just celebrated her 25th birthday, meaning her brain is probably now through growing and ready to start its life as a mature young woman. What’s next for her? I would suggest she seriously consider writing Young Adult novels and, thus, do for the upcoming generation what the old Nancy Drew mystery tales did for me: inspire girls to become more than just setting hens who lay eggs that never hatch. And add some poetry to her prose. Why say she should write? Because, besides helping Seaside become a sanctuary city, site of the annual Gay Parade, and home of the Homeless Committee, she authored the Proclamation that turned Seaside from a city that celebrates Columbus Day to one that now celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day. Thank you, Kayla. May you be remembered—not only for cockadoodling like a lady but for emerging as the future Poet Laureate of Seaside with this odic free verse: “Do we inherit land from ancestors or borrow it from our children?” First Caravan arrives in Tijuana News of Kayla Jones’ resignation came on Nov. 13 along with breaking news that the first caravan of asylumseeking refugees from Honduras reached Tijuana, thus casting attention back to homelessness exacerbated by wildfire in California that enlivens this column’s title: Homeless in Paradise. “Holocaust” means “destruction and sacrifice by fire” and California’s Holocaust has upstaged her nickname as The Earthquake State. Where will the homeless residents go? How will the multitudes of homeless on both sides of our border be handled? Mister President, what you say next will really count! Housing first, needed fast! Hearkening back to The Holocaust in Germany, can we learn from Germany’s concentration camps how not to let mass assimilation of disparate parties descend from shelters into slaughter houses? As the homeless are identified, will authorities conform to Article 2 of the United Nations’ “Universal Declaration of Human Rights?” The document, which currently seems ineffective in combating hate crimes, came into existence in 1948 to prevent atrocities like those perpetrated by the Nazis from happening again, be they at the border or inside the state where temporary shelters are being set up on massive scales. Namely, could another Dachau or even Tree of Life happen here in California? Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 2 “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any

other limitations of sovereignty.” The Nazis started identifying those who were confined to concentration camps in 1933 in an orderly manner, by using badges and armbands with symbols that could easily be read by guards just as we read icons on our mobile devices today. As overcrowding occurred, chaos ensued. At least 6 million Jews and between 2,400 and 5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses (conscientious objectors) were slain by gassing, incineration or other means by 1945. Will it happen again? We asked Summiteer Ron Libert of Kershaw, So. Carolina for his views as a Jehovah’s Witness.

Democracy at Work Editor:
Many thanks to Luke Colletti, Pacific Grove Neighbors United, Council Member Robert Huitt, Mayor-elect Bill Peake, Council Member-elect Jenny McAdams, Moe Ammar, and all the Pacific Grove residents who supported Measure “M”. Residents have tried for years to convince the council that maintaining the essential character of residential neighborhoods and the stability of the community is more important than the almighty dollar. When the council majority failed to listen, we were forced to use the initiative process. This is truly democracy at work! What’s next? The new council will consist of a 4-3 majority who opposed Measure
“M” and favored short term rentals (STR’s) in residential neighborhoods. Perhaps one or more of the pro-STR majority will now accept that the residents he or she represents don’t want mini-motels in residential neighborhoods. It is my personal hope that the new council will act accordingly and seek Coastal Commission approval of a local coastal plan that phases out STR’s in residential neighborhoods in the coastal zone. Measure M was a big step in the right direction. Protecting our residential neighbors in the coastal zone is the right thing to do and will finish the process. Joseph Bileci Jr. Pacific Grove Resident
Copy of Letter To: LandWatch Monterey County Dear Mr. DeLapa, Please let me know if you are available for a brief on-site meeting to discuss an on-going environmental crime (untreated sewage) that was caused by a property owner and local Realty company illegally converting a one bedroom cottage with a detached guest room and storage shed into a 3 unit multi-family property here in Carmel Valley. This conversion was done knowingly and illegally by San Carlos Agency a local property management company that uses a “roommate agreement” to circumvent zoning, land use and building regulations. In other words – with this magic contract any single family property they see fit to convert and lease as a multi-family property can be used in that manner. Last year the septic system failed and untreated sewage came to the surface. I spoke with the septic technician and he explained that the system was old and originally designed for a small 2 bedroom home – then he pointed directly at the illegal apartment units and said “it was never designed for all that abuse – it is at the point where it cannot be fixed” My client, Kirsten Lyders is a tenant in the front main cottage - a permitted legal use. She is a “by the book” person who maintains the property and follows all zoning regulations. Ms. Lyders had been in contact by phone with San Carlos Agency to express her concerns about problems with the rear tenants without resolution. She then expressed her concerns about the illegal property use and septic problem to the management company in writing and within a week she was given notice by the Management Company that her lease had been terminated. While LandWatch is a large and successful organization that has done many great things protecting our community and the environment, I am not sure if you are able to help shine a light or provide direction on this single illegal use and environmental crime This reason that I hope LandWatch will consider looking into this particular case is twofold: First – the property management company does this as a regular course of business – which means this is not an isolated issue. I believe California Licensed Brokerage and Management companies should be held to the standard of law in order to protect the public. A successful public investigation of this type of business practice by the appropriate government and oversight agencies might deter other management companies and property owners from engaging in illegal practices that harm the environment. Second – with affordable housing as an on-going topic, there is a great deal of discussion about adding ADU (accessory dwelling units) throughout various parts of the county. Carmel Valley has some of the most restrictive ADU approval guidelines because of the exact environmental issues we are witnessing. The subject property is a perfect example of why those restrictions and regulations are in place. The property owner and the San Carlos Property Management Agency have decided on their own that they had the ability to convert a single-family use to a single family plus two non-permitted 2 ADU’s. The property was never designed nor approved for such a use and the septic system has failed. Rather than correcting the problem they are evicting an A+ tenant for putting her concerns in writing. That is abusive, disruptive and illegal. My client understands that by going through public regulatory agencies and LandWatch she will have to open up her home and her private life to outside people and public review. She is by nature a very private person, but she is willing to go through the public process with this issue in order to prevent an on-going, abusive and illegal business practice that is harmful to her family, to her neighbors and to all the honest property owners in Carmel Valley who do in-fact follow the rules and care about the environment. Note: My client’s mother is Janet Brennan who also works with LandWatch. Janet is one of the most intelligent and quite simply amazing people that I have ever known. That being said – Kirsten has been reluctant to contact LandWatch because she does not want her mother to worry about her or be directly involved in a public land use dispute involving her daughter. Note #2: My client’s personal attorney is Gail Morton, city council member from Marina and lead negotiator with FORA for the city of Marina. Gail is an intelligent and well spoken public official and an excellent attorney. Kirsten has not contacted Gail at this point because of cost and she also wants to see if she can resolve this problem on her own. I cannot begin to tell you how stressful this experience has been for Kirsten. She is such a good, kind and ethical person. Her neighbors in the illegal units behind her home are exactly the opposite. They have absolutely no concerns for the property owner, their neighbors, rules and laws, or the environment. I would like to invite you to please come by the subject property to see first-hand what happens when a single-family property is illegally converted to multi-family use in Carmel Valley. I sincerely appreciate all you have done to protect our community and I appreciate you reading this lengthy email. Sam Rashkin Economic Development Consulting
Last Words
This is my first column since the election, and it’s my last regular column. I’ve completed my goal of writing at least a year’s worth. I’m grateful to you, readers, and to the editor, Marge Ann Jameson, who has allowed me to write what I want, despite not always agreeing with me. That reflects a dedication to a belief I share with her — we’re best off when we consider all sides. Speaking of that, I’d like to tell you what I learned during the 2018 campaign. For me it was traumatic. Not the outcome — I expected the worst — but I was disturbed by the conduct of many PGers (including myself once or twice) as we campaigned for or against measures and candidates. I learned that locals who consider themselves partisan activists are ready and willing to behave like soldiers following their military leaders into war — a propaganda war using lies, misdirection, alienation, false accusations, and false logic. This conduct is justified by the fact that our designated national leaders behave the same way — from Trump through Pelosi. Thoroughly dishonest and debased though they may be, we carefully watch them on TV, then mimic them. Party leaders and rabble-rousing news organizations decided the campaign needed to be fought like trench warfare. No quarter given. Trump must be out-Trumped. The end justified any means. And this war footing was naturally picked up by local campaigners. But to go to war, the human psyche needs adjustment. Soldiers do not talk things over. They kill. Normal, decent people can only bring themselves to kill — literally or figuratively — by seeing people on the other side as evil conspirators, as the villains in their narrative, as sworn enemies. Once the other side is evil, there’s no longer any hope of understanding, of finding common ground. Even the customary aspiration for one’s own viewpoint to be the more sensible choice becomes moot. You might be wrong; I might be wrong; the majority might be wrong, but we no longer have reason to think about that. Thus, war turns politics into religion — blind faith versus blind faith replaces a meeting of the minds. And that’s why the essential American tradition of civil discourse is in critical condition, a casualty of this war. Some of you may be in denial even as the bodies are being buried. How could this apply to you? If you were one who could not or did not bother to make your case on its merits, who avoided engaging in debate, but who was quick to use trickery to win the day, then you are one who opted for warfare over thoughtful discourse. If you lied or misled others to gain their support, or committed logical fallacies to distract from the truth, or sidestepped the issues by attacking peoples’ motives, or bullied or threatened people, or vandalized signs or other private property, then these are the Trump-like weapons you used against fellow PGers. As Walt Kelly said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Do you really think it’s wise to aim to crush your neighbors’ wishes? Wars can’t truly be won. World War II produced the Iron Curtain. World War I produced Hitler. The Civil War produced a century or more of mass resentment and racial retribution. The losers rise again — more viciously than before. Whereas with rational civil discourse, all parties retain their dignity and can remain on the same side for the greater good. In April, 2017, on “Face The Nation,” Ohio Governor John Kasich said, “I am begging people… to understand their responsibility and their ability to bring this country together. And stop waiting for politicians to get it right. They’re not going to get it right until they get a message from us.” Have you noticed that when others act with the highest integrity, nothing warms your heart more? That’s because it’s the world we want. Rather than alienating each other, shouldn’t we respect our fellow PGers, first by being honest, and then by listening to them for facts we may not know and for new ideas that might contribute to the best outcome for our city? Tourists’ image of PG is an illusion. But what if there’s something to learn from it? Just by looking at our houses, they may see our true heritage better than we do — our celebration of individuals, all the idiosyncrasies, even eccentricities, all the good and bad ideas — the independent-minded spirit of Pacific Grove that has forever butted up against its heaven-bent soul. Ironically, we lose sight of those two contrary 19th century virtues, even as they draw visitors to us. By not honoring this legacy, we miss the real gift of PG. Home is where the heart is. I hope you’ll always risk considering contrary views and risk thinking outside the box. Note: You are welcome to email responses to AlecOTB@arrowkite.com.

Outstanding Campaigns
Mr. Akeman: Thank you for your letter. We will take it under consideration.
Dear Editor,
Outstanding campaigns were run by mayoral candidates: Rudy Fischer and Dionne Ybarra and council member candidates: Dan Miller, Andrew Kubica, Jenny McAdams, Amy Tomlinson, Tama Olver, Steven Lilley and Joe Amelio. I greatly appreciate their positive and thoughtful campaigns. The focus was on issues and not on personalities. They set good examples that others can follow. I also wish to acknowledge the significant commitments candidates made both in time and effort. In our haste to judge who we wish to elect, it can be easy to overlook the contributions made by each and everyone. We are very lucky to have such talented people willing to put their names forward to go on the ballot. During campaigning I would occasionally be greeted by “thank you for running”. I’ll remember to say this now even though the election is over. Thank you and best wishes to all candidates for stepping up. Bill Peake Pacific Grove
Hospice Giving Foundation Seeks to Increase Public Awareness Hospice Giving Foundation celebrates National Hospice and Palliative Care Month every November to increase public awareness about the benefits of hospice and palliative care. This year’s theme is “My Hospice. A Program that Works. A Benefit that Matters.” What began as primarily a volunteer-driven, grassroots movement in the 1970s, hospice is now an integrated part of our nation’s health care delivery system providing care to more than 1.43 million Medicare beneficiaries and their families every year. A Medicare benefit since 1982, hospice focuses on providing comfort, relieving pain and offering support to patients and their family caregivers, and provides bereavement services to people following the death of a loved one. Hospice Care in America: • 48 percent of Medicare decedents were enrolled in hospice at the time of death (in 2016). • Median length of service was 24 days. • 5 percent of patients received care for 90 days or less, while those receiving care for more than 180 days accounted for 13.6 percent. • Cancer was the most common principle diagnosis, accounting for 27.2 percent of patients; increasing among the patient populations is a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia which accounts for 18 percent. • 98 percent of care was provided at the Routine Home Care level. • Nearly 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries receive hospice care for seven days or less, a period considered too short to take full advantage of the many services the hospice interdisciplinary team offers. “One of the most common regrets we hear from hospice patients and their families is they delayed the decision to choose hospice care. This underscores the need for advance care planning and education on options when approaching end of life,” says Siobhan Greene, President and CEO of Hospice Giving Foundation. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis. A patient may receive life-prolonging therapy while under palliative care. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care patients can transition to hospice after receiving a diagnosis of six-month or less life expectancy.

Greene is available for interviews and background on a variety of end-of-life topics.
Sore winners versus strategic losers by Joy Colangelo There’s a posting going around the Facebook world that states “I’d much rather live next door to someone who crossed a desert to become an American, than an American who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.” It’s a statement meant to deride those who fear the caravan of immigrants but I read it on my own page as a statement about “neighbors” who won’t cross their street to be civil to short term renters or even, in my case, the owner of the house for 30 years. The night of the election, I received a text from Luke Coletti, the wunderkind of Yes on M. I call him that, not because he achieved success at a young age, but because he achieved success too early in the game. He posted at 12:15 am this: CHECKMATE. Then car horns blaring in front of my house, a quick trip around the block and another blaring of car horns. He does the same thing when he passes the whale sculpture along Oceanview in the morning -- honking and waving his fist shouting “F%$ing Whales.” Charming. The leader of “Neighborhoods are for neighbors” gets to yell in some neighborhoods. At midnight and at a whale statues. There’s not a mother on earth that would be proud of such a sore “winner”. And plus, he’s has no idea how to play chess. I’ll tell you why. The No on M group had a strategy - to conduct ourselves the same whether we won or lost. Some of us worked as hard on the Governor races in California and other states as we did on Measure M. It was critical that Gavin Newsom win the Governors race because Newsom is the one who will bring short term rental bans to a crashing halt statewide just as 13 other Governors and State Supreme Courts have. Newsom was critical in saving tens of millions of dollars in the first year after overturning a University of California policy that restricted employees from using sharing economy services like Airbnb and Uber in 2014. He campaigned against the failed 2015 San Francisco referendum stating it “goes to far. It’s just too extreme.” And now he’s Governor. So let me tell Mr. Sore Winner how to control a chess board. Other things being equal, the side that controls more space on the board has an advantage. More space means more options, which can be exploited both tactically and strategically. A player who has all pieces developed and no tactical vision or promising long-term plan has likely lost the center space and likely the end game. Here’s what No on M has as an opening: one player accepts less space for a time, to set up a counterattack in the middlegame. That is called hypermodern play. The game has just begun. We needed to lose in Pacific Grove. We needed the exact damages to both the City, it’s citizens and the short term rental owners. We just made it into the Championship game, the Global Sharing Economy Game.

Reasoning With God When we understand the depth of God’s love for us, Rom 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” we love Him, 1 Jn 4:19, “We love him, because he first loved us.” This love teaches us not to fear, 1 Jn 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” and the freedom this brings allows us to change our lives. His love confirms the hope He has promised us of an eternal life, which changes our perspective on everything in this life. Our future is already secure, so we are free to live this life helping Him, 2 Cor 5:15, 17, “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again…Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Our new found love for God leads us to feel His compassion and His love of the truth, Ps 86:15, “But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” We learn to rejoice in His truth and to be selfless, 1 Cor 13:4-8, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;” Our new found selfless love no longer uses dissimulation to manipulate others to do our will, Rom 12:9, “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” Instead, we truly abhor evil and do the good God advocates, Phil 2:13, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” God sees the big picture and knows what the final outcome will be, Jer 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” We can either go along with the pain and suffering of this world, including the horrible means and unimaginable ends we are witnessing. Or, we can do the good God calls us to do and watch how His light shines on the path for others to follow. This world calls us to darkness; however, God calls us to the His Truth, which leads to good, 1 Jn 3:18, “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” He is not calling us to thought alone, but rather to action, to deed. Only then can our lives be changed, thus drawing others to God. God does not ask us to walk alone, He is always with us as we battle for His Truth and justice, Josh 1:9, “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” He does more than walk with us, He strengthens us, so we are able to complete the work He has given to us, Phil 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” He tells us that He will always love us, no matter what, Rom 8:38-39, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, we no longer have to worry about being perfect, we can proceed with confidence and correct our mistakes along the way. This frees us to be bold, for God will elevate us to the position needed to be able to do the work He is calling us to complete, 1 Pet 5:6-7, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for
he careth for you.” This humble nature God calls us to, opens our hearts and minds; which then allows His Word, and will, to penetrate the depths of our souls. Let us now look at the life changes we will see along the path to completing God’s calling. Gal 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” This fruit frees us from the preoccupation of self, teaching us patience, allowing us to see our problems as stepping-stones to the solutions God will provide. We can then focus on others and our part in God’s plan to help them through their troubles. Charity is that part of love, which brings us into harmony with God’s plan, Col 3:14, “And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” We learn by experience that giving is better than receiving, Acts 20:35, “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Our relationships change when we work from the spirit of love, Eph 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Our love for our spouses comes to life as our deeds match our words and become expressions of our love. Jn 15:12-13, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Our love for our friends becomes limitless, as we learn to lay down that part of our lives, which have separated us from our friends. Friendships grow deeper, as our friends feel our love for them. Matt 5:43-44, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” We learn to love those we felt were our enemies, changing the way they feel about us. We no longer judge them; their imperfections become opportunities for us to show our forgiveness, as we become more reasonable. This change is hastened by our examination of our lives, Prov 4:26-27, “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” We begin to see the little things we are doing, which negatively affect the lives of those around us. Then, one by one, we modify our behavior. With God’s help we begin to resist this life’s temptations and, then, are able to see the way God has provided for us to escape those addictions we have allowed in our lives, 1 Cor 10:13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” The transformation process has begun, we are transforming into the likeness of our Lord, 2 Cor 3:18, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Our lives become more interesting when we focus less on ourselves and begin helping our neighbors, “Sir John Templeton once wrote that it is impossible to be bored if you love your neighbor.” - It’s Good to be Good: Love Your Neighbor, by STEPHEN G. POST, PHD on JANUARY 17, 2014 – http://saynotostigma.com/ Once we feel God’s love for us, the messages we are sending to others begin to change. They feel God’s love and want to spend more time with us. Lk 15:4, “What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?” God never leaves the one behind, and He is calling us to spread His love by giving it to all we meet, especially the one in our lives! An example might help, so, here is an article told by a man who was saved by God’s love: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/09/09/as-post-september11-warrior-surrender-was-not-in-my-vocabulary-until-this-happened.html

Severe blood shortage: Red Cross issues immediate call for blood and platelet donations Blood drive hosts also needed this winter to stop prolonged shortage The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage and urgently needs blood and platelet donors to give now to avoid delays in lifesaving medical care for patients. Volunteer blood drive hostsare also critically needed to prevent the shortage from worsening this winter. During September and October, the Red Cross collected over 21,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than what hospitals needed. Blood donors of all blood types, especially type O, and platelet donors are urged to make an appointment to donate at RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Fewer blood drives in September and October coupled with hurricanes Michael and Florence, which caused thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected, were key contributing factors to the current blood shortage. “This time of year, as many give thanks for family, friends and good health, it’s important to remember that patients across the country cannot survive without your generosity,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “From traumas to ongoing cancer treatments, the need for blood doesn’t stop for the holidays. People can give back – and help those in need – by making a lifesaving blood or platelet donation now and hosting a blood drive in the weeks to come.” An additional 4,300 blood drives nationally are needed in December, January and February to help stop the shortage from continuing throughout winter. Donations often decline during the winter holidays when many groups postpone blood drives while regular donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. Severe winter weather may also cause blood drive cancellations contributing to fewer donations than needed. To encourage donations around the Thanksgiving holiday, those who come to donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross Nov. 21-24 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. How to help Eligible donors can find a blood or platelet donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass, are encouraged to help speed up the donation process. RapidPass lets donors complete the pre-donation reading and answer the health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from the convenience of a mobile device or computer, or through the Blood Donor App. Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this winter, by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive. Who blood donations help Kylee Durham, 11, had a rare type of vascular tumor in her right jaw bone. When the tumor ruptured in August, the hemorrhage caused Kylee to lose so much blood that she needed two units of blood before an emergency embolization surgery to stop the bleeding. She required additional transfusions during surgery and received a total of eight units of blood, or about the total blood volume of an average adult, over a 12-hour period. The surgery was successful, and Kylee had a partial resection of her jaw a couple of days after the embolization to remove the tumor. Now a few months post-surgery, Kylee is back at home, enjoying middle school and spending time doing the things she loves. Her mother, Brittany Durham, is grateful for the donors who helped save Kylee’s life. “If it weren’t for blood donors, my daughter would not be alive. She nearly lost all of her blood. Blood donors saved her life,” said Durham. “My dad has been a
