School children from Pacific Grove schools, along with people who marched as long as 60 years ago, filled the streets of downtown Pacific Grove with colorful costumes...and joy on Saturday, October 7, for the annual Butterfly Parade.

Activities downtown, from book signings to auctions, brought memories and made new ones as the weather cooperated. Photos of the parade begin on page 13.

Downtown Parking Changes The Downtown Pacific Grove Business Improvement District reminds downtown businesses that parking enforcement downtown has changed. The Pacific Grove Police Department issued the following statement: “Last month, the City of Pacific Grove implemented the License Plate Recognition (LPR) System.

“The LPR system will alert parking enforcement officers of overtime parking violations, unpermitted vehicles, vehicles with expired registration, and vehicles with five or more unpaid parking citations. This will allow staff to become much more efficient in completing their routes and prevent injury caused by manual chalking.

“The LPR is being installed on the City’s all-electric GO-4

Parking Scooter. It will have exterior cameras, which will make it look different.

“Once fully implemented, the parking enforcement officers will rely mainly on the LPR. This includes the Downtown Area, Central Avenue, and the other timed areas. It will also assist in enforcing 48 hour and 72 hour parking violations, as well as the City’s parking permit programs.

The LPR system went live on September 10, 2017. If you have any questions, contact ASM Jocelyn Francis at (831) 648-3143.

“While this system will take some adjustments from our members who park their vehicles downtown for extended periods of time, we have been assured that PGPD will work with our District on this transition.”

Public Water Now launches Petition Drive

Public Water Now, a local nonprofit, officially launched a new campaign on October 7 for another attempt to take over California American Water.

The group has been meeting in preparation for the 2018 ballot ever since a failed attempt in 2014, when a similar attempt lost by a mere 10 percent. Cal Am spent millions of dollars in opposition to the 2014 measure.

The petition calls for Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to set a policy of owning the water system which serves district constituents, and to acquire if “economically feasible” Cal Am’s local system assets through negotiation or eminent domain. It calls for the water district to provide a written plan to implement the new policy within nine months of its passage. The plan would provide for the acquisition, ownership and management of a water facilities locally.

Since 2014, Cal Am customers have seen their rates increase by amounts in the area of 68 percent, despite conservation measures and the declared end of the recent drought.

More increases are scheduled as Cal Am seeks to recoup income lost during the drought and as a result of conservation on the part of customers.

The petition needs 6,200 people to get on the ballot. Public Water Now will spend the next six months gathering signatures, with a goal of 8,000 by April, 2018.

Proponents of a potential measure which would provide impetus for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to take over water purveyor Cal Am enjoyed music, food, and community at the launch of the petition on Sat., Oct. 7, 2017.

Honeymoon Welcome from Pacific Grove

Last Sunday morning my husband noticed a car decorated with wedding wishes in front of the Gosby Inn. It was obvious that this couple was on their honeymoon. And what a welcome they received from our parking enforcer - a $38 parking ticket. Not much of a greeting from the Last Hometown. So as not to let the police department ruin their honeymoon we left them a wedding present.

An envelope with $38 in it.

Food Scrap Collection now Made at Farmers Market

The City of Pacific Grove and Everyone’s Harvest Farmer’s Market are pleased to announce that food scraps will be collected at the market for composting beginning September 25. Residents are invited to bring their fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and kitchen scraps to drop off in the food scrap collection cart where vendors and visitors at the market may also place their food scraps, trimmings, peelings, and culls.

This is the next step in trying to make our Farmer’s Market and events in Pacific Grove zero waste, said Milas Smith, Environmental Programs Manager for the City of Pacific Grove. “Residents stop by to pick up their fresh produce at the market. We would like to provide vendors, residents, and visitors the opportunity of recycling their leftover food scraps and enjoy one of the many benefits of recycling by turning organics into energy!”

GreenWaste Recovery will transport the collected material to the Monterey Regional Waste Management District where it will be digested in the Organics to Energy program to produce renewable energy and compost. For more information visit: organicstoenergy.org.

The Monterey Regional Waste Management District will distribute free kitchen collector food scrap pails to the first 50 attendees that stop by their table on September 25 and October 2. Market attendees can then bring their food scraps in a reusable container which can be emptied and used again. In addition to food scraps, food service items such as to-go containers and cutlery that are certified compostable will also be accepted.

The Pacific Grove Certified Farmers Market runs from 3 – 7 p.m. each Monday at the corner of Central and Grand Avenues. For more information contact: Milas Smith 831-648-3188 office msmith@ cityofpacificgrove.org

The 1031 Exchange, Part II Patrick Ryan

Local Real Estate Update Today we will finish our examination of 1031 tax exchange of investment property.

Please reference last week’s article for the part one and please remember to consult your tax professional before doing your own 1031 exchange.

To continue where we left off, a seller/tax payer has 180 days after the close of the old property to complete the purchase of the new property or properties. The property or properties purchased must be one or ones that were identified within the 45-day period.

Also, the 180 and 45-day periods run concurrently, so after the 45 days the seller has 135 days to close on new property. The key to remember is that the clock starts ticking once the old property closes. The seller can identify properties before the old property closes and then will still have 180 days once the old property closes.

For reference purposes, here are the requirements to consider when entering into a 1031 exchange. We covered the first three in last week’s article.

Like Kind Property A Qualified Intermediary Must Be Involved 45 Day Identification Period 180 Purchase Period Equal or Greater Value Tax Payer and Title Must Be the Same Tax Payer Must Not Receive Gain The new property/properties must be of equal or greater value than the old investment property that was sold. All of the cash received from the sale of the old investment property must be invested in the new investment property in order to avoid any taxes. Closing expenses may be subtracted from the sale of the old property. An example is if the property sells for $700,000 and after expenses the seller walks away with $600,000 cash then the new investment property must be $600,000 or greater.

When purchasing new investment property, closing expenses and capital improvements done to the property within 180 days can be added to the cost of the property. You also need to replace any debt(mortgage) on the property with an equal amount debt or added cash to the purchase.

Whoever was listed on the title of the old investment property, must be the same listed on the new investment property. If the old property lists a married couple on the title then the new property must be the same. If the old property lists a corporation on the title then the new title must list the same corporation on the title. This rule is very straightforward and simple to follow. If one desires to change the ownership structure that is listed on the title after the purchase there are ways to accomplish this objective.

Lastly, in order to avoid paying any tax the owner of the investment property must not receive any gain from the sale of the old investment property. All proceeds must be rolled over into new property. Any gain, cash, that is not put into the new property will be taxed.

A 1031 tax exchange can be a very effective tool for owners of investment property to avoid paying taxes. The rules are very specific and straightforward. As long as the purchaser follows the rules set forth by the IRS, a 1031 exchange can be a very simple process. I hope this was helpful and as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Gov Brown signs new California affordable housing laws Scott Dick Monterey County Assoc. of Realtors

Market Matters Source: Sacramento Bee Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday signed a robust package of housing legislation aimed at addressing California’s unprecedented affordability crisis. “These new laws will help cut red tape and encourage more affordable housing, including shelter for the growing number of homeless in California,” Brown said in a statement.

SB 2, Sen. Toni Atkins, D-San Diego: Imposes a new $75 to $225 fee on real estate transactions. Estimated to generate $250 to $300 million per year to fund affordable housing development, programs to assist homeless people and longrange development planning in cities and counties. For 2018, revenue would be split equally between the state and local government. The state share is specifically aimed at combating homelessness. It’s available for rental assistance, homeless navigation centers and development of housing for homeless people.

SB 3, Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose: Will put a $4 billion housing bond before voters in November 2018. If approved, $1 billion would go to the CalVet home loan program, established in 1921 to help military veterans purchase homes. The remaining $3 billion would help fund low-income housing projects and development near jobs and public transportation.

SB 35, Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco: Lets developers bypass the lengthy and often expensive review process for new housing development, which includes extensive environmental analysis and public hearings. If a community has not built enough housing – state law outlines the housing needs, at all income levels, for each city and county in California – developers can bring forth a project without undergoing the process. It mandates higher construction worker pay and benefits on projects with 10 units or more.

SB 166, Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley: Requires local government to have development sites identified, at all times, for all unmet housing needs, from very low-income to market-rate. It also seeks to strengthen state housing law that in most cases prevents cities and counties from reducing zoning densities to ensure there is “no net loss” of building capacity.

SB 167, Skinner, and Assembly Bill 678, Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra, D-Los Angeles: Strengthens the state’s Housing Accountability Act, which seeks to prevent communities from killing proposed housing projects or homeless shelters. The law aims to make it more difficult for cities and counties to vote down proposals and requires courts to impose fines on them if they do not comply with what is commonly called the “anti-NIMBY law.”

SPCA Advises Caution When Driving to Avoid Deer During Mating Season The SPCA for Monterey County advises drivers to use extreme caution when driving to avoid hitting deer on area roadways this time of year. Fall is deer mating season on the central coast and deer are significantly more likely to be on the move near and across roadways. Specifically The SPCA advises: Be particularly careful at dawn and dusk when driving, especially where visibility is limited. Use of high beams when appropriate can provide a greater area of visibility.

Slow down and use extreme caution when approaching a deer standing near the side of a road. Be prepared for the deer to enter the roadway in front of the vehicle. If necessary, honk your horn and flash your lights to try to scare the deer off of the roadway.

Be alert for more deer than you may see at that moment. Where there’s one deer, there are always more nearby.

Use extra caution in areas where deer crossing signs are posted. These are areas where deer are known to cross roadways.

Be particularly cautious in wooded and agricultural areas.

Call The SPCA immediately if you see any injured or orphaned wildlife.

Locally, areas of greatest deer activity at night are Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley Road, the Highway 68 corridor,

Holman Highway, River Road, and Highway 1 from Seaside to south of Carmel.

Since September first, the SPCA Wildlife Rescue Center has responded to 56 reports of injured deer. These include multiple fatalities and two that rescuers were able to release from entrapment in fences. This week, the SPCA Wildlife Center has been receiving at least two calls a day about injured deer. Currently, there are six known injured, yet ambulatory, deer in Monterey that are too mobile to safely capture. SPCA Wildlife rescuers are monitoring the situations and welcome all calls about the location of these deer.

The deer may recover on their own, but the SPCA relies on our community reporting injured deer to help assess their situation. Unfortunately, attempting to capture or tranquilize these deer (after which a mobile deer can travel for miles) often causes more serious injuries to the deer and the community.

In 2016 The SPCA responded to 104 reports, with almost all the deer involved either dead on arrival or needing to be humanely euthanized immediately. The average insurance claim for deer/vehicle collisions in the United States is $3,995 per incident.

Wednesday, October 18, 2017 Gentrain Society Lecture: Quantifying How Farming Practices Impact the Nitrogen Cycle Monterey Peninsula College Lecture Forum 103 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm Free; MPC Parking $3.00 Information: www.gentrain.org ; info@gentrain.org ; 372-0895 Monterey County supports a greater than $4 billion agriculture industry.

There are economic, yield and environmental sustainability challenges associated with the nutrient intensive production of specialty crops. With the implementation of the 2012 Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program and the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act California growers face increased pressures to optimize on-farm practices to comply with water restrictions and increased water quality standards. Dr. Arlene Haffa, Associate Professor in the School of Natural Sciences at CSU Monterey Bay, will discuss this in context of the nitrogen cycle as it relates to agriculture. Dr. Haffa’s research collaborators include the NASA-CSUMB Cooperative that is using satellite data to monitor irrigation and fertilization, the UC Cooperative Extension who have developed tools to help with best management practices, staff and students at CSUMB, and local commercial growers who generously share their fields.

Living Gluten-Free Is Not A Prison Sentence DD Hawley-Shook

Living Heathy

Gluten free was not a common term 20 years ago. The number of people who follow a gluten free diet has surged over the past decade to include not only those with celiac disease but also gluten sensitivity. If one suffers with symptoms that can be relieved by a gluten free diet, to be or not to be gluten free is not really a matter of question. Even though celiac and gluten sensitivity symptoms can be debilitating it can still be a daunting prospect to adopt a gluten free diet. Imagine no more birthday cake, croissants, turkey stuffing, beer or pretzels, the list goes on and on. It can sound like the hollow slam of a steel prison door. Wave goodbye to apple pie. Fortunately, unlike 20 years ago there are options available in increasing numbers, and as in so many things, imagination and attitude play a major role in how a gluten free diet is approached.

The enjoyment of food is such an important part of life that it is worth the effort to dream up ways of being gluten free that are fun. We live in a time and place where there are more food options than there ever have been before in the history of man.

It isn’t hard to come up with wonderful options. So you can’t have the apple pie, make apple crisp with a gluten free streusel topping and garnish with whipped cream. Is that so bad? The trick is to choose recipes that lend themselves to gluten free ingredients and not force gluten free where it does not work.

Since sharing food is a cornerstone of human culture the subject of ‘gluten free’ a0ffects more than just those on the diet. It is such a touching gesture to have friends choose a restaurant that accommodates gluten free diets, or be invited to a dinner party that incorporates gluten free recipes into the menu. Most people will understand that a gluten free diet is not a casual decision. Yet there are a few stragglers who don’t quite get it, and roll their eyes, labeling gluten free as a new diet fad. Not so. A little bit of wheat in soy sauce can land a person with severe celiac disease in bed for two days.

There are volumes of information about gluten free diets, celiac disease and gluten sensitivity symptoms on the internet. There are magazines and cookbooks with recipes and unprecedented variety of options so cheer up; life can be a bowl of cherries.

THANKSGIVING CORNBREAD STUFFING Cornbread Preheat oven to 350 Butter a 9x12 or a 9x9 pan / the 9x12 will bake a little less time Combine and sift 1 cup all purpose gluten free flour 1 cup corn flour 4 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 2 Tbs sugar In a separate bowl thoroughly mix 3 eggs 1 cup milk (or milk substitute) ½ stick melted butter or ¼ cup oil Combine dry ingredients with egg/milk mixture Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened no more Bake for approximately 25 minutes test for doneness with toothpick Finely chop 2 stalks celery, 1 carrot, 1 onion , 4-5 cloves garlic and saute in 2 Tbs butter until softened let cool Mix well 4 eggs and 3 cups milk & salt and pepper to taste Add to this: ¼ cup chopped parsley, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp sage Salt and pepper to taste Crumble the finished cornbread into the milk and egg mixture, add sauted vegetables and mix it together. Pour into buttered baking dish (or stuff a turkey) with the mixture. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

TIME CERTAIN SCHEDULE - All sessions, except as noted, to start and finish on schedule

as of: 10/4/2017

This weekend is this season’s last weekend of racing at our church, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The Pirelli World challenge is here.

Everybody set up and started to test and practice Wednesday.

The Mazda MX-5 Cup is really interesting and will undoubtedly offer very exciting, fast racing. The prize money or purse is $75,000. Just the cars alone probably cost about $50,000. Then you’ve got the transportation, racecar parts and spares, repairs, insurance (Ops! No insurance for open class racecars, you’re on your own…). I’ll guess it is the both the biggest purse for this class anywhere, and as well the biggest purse for this class anywhere ever. This is big money. This is one of the few opportunities that the winning team might just break even! Here we go again, Q) how does a winning race team end up with $75, 000? A) By spending $150,000 and winning. There is still glory for those who valiantly compete. I call it expensive glory. My personal tribute goes out to all who run in the MX-5 CUP! Next up, Porsche cup! Come on what could be more fun than watching and hearing multiple Porsche being driven around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in anger? Almost nothing; except perhaps: TCB. Takin Care of Business. You’ll be glued to your seat as these under-powered shit-boxes zoom through the field of McLaren’, Ferrari and Aston Martins throwing of their lines with an evil disregard for horsepower and expense and automotive racing perfection. These cars are a sprinkle of mayhem that add so much excitement, and danger; they crack me up every lap.

GT3 & GT4 - A very fun aspect of the GT3 class and the Gt4 Class is that the factories send the engineers the drivers and many of the support staff. The cars and often the mechanics — pit crew, and sometimes co-drivers — are all from here, America.

This arrangement is amazing. It is far more intricate than I have time to cover, alas.

These are factory customer race cars. The factories supply them with every available asset they would their own team. This keeps the cost (losses) down, so there can be more world class racing. These people are losing their shirts to entertain us. Thank you to all you 18 manufactures out there who participate. Call me I’ll buy you a beer.

Finally, my prediction. I double down. TRG for the win! TRG, ASTON MARTIN RACING will perform – The Aston Martin Opera- ( See; Cedar Street Times- Page 17 September 1st - Grey Eminence- Aston Martin opera) to the adoring race fans at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the last time this season. If you see Lamborghini Moses, tell him I’ll be in the turn 4 bleachers; #46 waiting for Vale.

Reflections by a Race Fan

Hello friends,

What follows is yet another disclaimer of sorts. As you may know, at least partially; my job here at my/the beloved Cedar Street Times is to write about old cars and to be glib. With all the goings on in the world and nationally, lately, I have succumbed to a virulent sort of malaise. Even from a young age, for some inexplicable reason I have always respected and been interested in Mother Nature. As I have matured, my interest has only peaked. Over the years I have been drawn into reading extensively about Native Americans, the desert, birds, and all things exploration (starting with Artic and leading to Antarctic ) which led me into a profound interest in maritime, and Herman Melville and, more recently, marine mammals, whale entanglements, etc.

Anyway, it feels to me like Mother Nature is on a rampage. My heart goes out to everyone who is on the receiving end. This morning after I heard my own President express his lack of commitment, I felt like an adjunct American. As I heard him imply that our American commitment to the people of Puerto Rico both financially and spiritually was no more, this virulent malaise swept over my soul like a post hurricane storm surge casting me awash in despair, shame and regret.

I have family in Mendocino County. People I love dearly, young and old.

Northern California burns and I wait to hear that they are all right, at least safe. My oldest son of 19 years could very well be on his way there to fight the fire. He is hoping I won’t notice his apparent absence from communication with me, long enough to do what he must. I have noticed, and recounting our last conversation I am proud of my son.

Our new columnist DD Hawley Shook lives in the town of Mendocino.

I hope she will get to enjoy her first appearance here. My friends at TRG, Aston Martin Racing are from Petaluma, which I believe might be burning as I write. Many of these teams are from our northern reaches.

A heavy heart beats. So I will continue write, to do my job today. I do it with less joy than before, though with a different purpose today. So I ask a few things from you the reader: now is a great time to put the differences between us aside and help one another. We here at this paper are gathering clothing to be taken up north. We hear that people up there need clothing.

So please bring what clothing you can that might help someone stay warm at night, here to the paper. Our friend Al Siekert will take a large truck load up to fire country this Sunday morning, after he serves breakfast to the local homeless.

All this racing season out at our home track, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, culminates this weekend, and racing will go on. It leads up to the first 8-hour race ever out there and is a very special happening. Please go. I feel that I should put my head down and keep working. I will try to continue to do so with love and hope in my sore heart that our racers everywhere return home to find everything and everyone safe and sound.

Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge to reopen Oct. 13

Cal Trans has announced the reopening of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge is scheduled, with a ribbon-cutting set for Friday, Oct. 13.

The failure of the bridge in February, 2017 virtually cut Big Sur off from motoring visitors. Winter storms caused a landslide and locals watched the nightly news in horror as the 310-foot bridge fell off its pilings and into the canyon. It was demolished by road crews and the rebuilding began about eight months ago.

fear? Is our hope not the proof of our faith in God? Is faith not at the heart What does God say about courage? without of the courage we display when we face adversity?

Bill Cohen

Reasoning With God The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines courage as: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.

Why would God call us to have courage? Josh 1:7, “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.” Why does it take courage to follow the law?

Matt 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Apparently, some will not be happy with the example we are setting when we follow the law, some of them will be upset to the point of trying to kill us. Even today, 11 Christians are killed every hour because of their faith in Christ. Here is a link to an article that discusses this problem: http://www.christianpost.com/news/11-christians-are-killedevery-hour-says-irish-catholic-bishop-who-warns-persecution-of-believers-is-at-anunprecedented-high-139312/ Should we then be afraid of those willing to kill us for our beliefs? Deut 31:6, “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” The answer is no, for fear is the weapon they are trying to use to silence God’s witnesses. God has promised us eternity, so the loss of a few years should never stop us from fulfilling His calling of spreading His Word, Matt 28:18-20, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Has God not given us a duty to perform?

1 Pet 3:14-16, “But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.” Does God not call us to spread His Word in meekness and without fear of death? Are we not to have studied His Word, so that we may have an answer for those who seek one? Does that answer not fully explain our hope in an eternal life with God? Rom 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Is this not a hope worth facing death

Ps 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” God knows we walk in the valley of death when we fulfill His calling of spreading His Word and that is why He has given us so many verses on courage.

Is 41:13, “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Is God talking about this life, or a combination of this life and the next?

Dan 3:16-18, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” Is God saying our courage serves as a light to others, even if we face death in this life?

2 Tim 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Jn 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Rom 8:15, “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

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.”

Does God call us to love everyone, spread His Truth and fear no one?

New After-School Art Class

Norfolk, VA

In the spirit of Columbus Day and having just returned from my second trip in one month from Virginia, I am going to tell y’all about grits. If you are not familiar with grits, it is a porridge dish made from reconstituting dried, ground corn or hominy and if done right, lots of butter! In Virginia, I saw grits on the menu at every meal of the day and prepared in every which way.

You may wonder why I bring up Columbus Day, which was this past Monday if you were not aware. It is also referred to as Discoverer’s Day or Indigenous People’s Day. When the discoverers found and colonized the New World (the Americas) they also found a wide range of foods they were unfamiliar with such as potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, pumpkins, and corn, among others. This category of foods is referred to as New World foods. Conversely, they brought with them Old World foods including apples, broccoli, eggplant, garlic, and much more. This is part of the Columbian Exchange, which refers to the transfer of not only foods, but also plants, animals, human populations, culture, and technology. The Columbian Exchange is a much larger subject with great implications—imagine Italian food without tomatoes—and if you are interested in knowing more, Alfred W. Crosby who coined the term in his 1972 book The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 may be worth a read.

Please enjoy a recipe for grits, an American dish made with a New World food!

Ingredients 2 cups water 2 cups milk 1 cup stone-ground or regular grits kosher salt 1⁄4 cup heavy cream 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Grits Recipe:

Instructions Heat the water and milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until just simmering.

While the milk is heating, put the stone-ground grits into a large mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Stir the grits assertively so that the chaff floats to the top. Skim the surface carefully and remove the chaff. Drain the grits in a fine strainer. (If you are using regular grits, skip this step.) Stir grits into the simmering water and milk. Cook, stirring often, until the grits are tender to the bite and have thickened to the consistency of thick oatmeal. As the grits thicken, stir them more often to keep them from sticking and scorching. Regular grits take about 20 minutes, but stone-ground require about an hour or a little more to cook, and you will have to add additional milk and water as needed.

Animal Tales Other Random Thoughts

I miss not working in Pacific Grove. It started in 1986 when I was asked to manage the SPCA Shop which was on Forest Avenue, next door to what is now St. Vincent DePaul and was then a bike shop. Later, due to our success, we opened SPCA II a couple of doors down. It was then that Frank Quilantang, whom I had known back in the Monterey County Symphony’s B- Sharp Follies days, came by I had been President of the Guild, Frank was a dancer in the production. He is the premier floral designer for Pebble Beach Company and kindly offered his services as a friend to create magnificent windows for us. Which, as most of you know, he did with aplomb.

Later when the shop moved to Carmel, and I was asked to set up a shop for AFRP and we moved to the corner of Fountain and Central Frank came along and continued until the doors of the Treasure Shop closed in May. Now he will be with us again and one of the criteria for a shop is at least one big window for Frank. He would come in on his days off and very often late at night. He made remarkable creations out of found items (or things he purchased). Remember the aluminum foil dragon.

One Halloween, he and Doc Halliday gave us a haunted house that stopped people passing by in their tracks. Doc put wheels up above somehow lighted them and hung jack-o-lanterns which sailed at night. I received telephone calls from the media. It was covered on television and, of course, the newspapers. Those were wonderful days.

We had a good time while making a great deal of money for the animals. Now those times linger in our memory.

One of my first jobs before I was involved in advertising in San Francisco was working as the secretary (in those days that’s what we were) to the principal of Pacific Grove Junior High (where the high school is now) …I have seen many changes, and it is hard to remember what happened before. Although, as I have mentioned, one of the students at the school is now one of my closest friends and valuable volunteers, Michele DeVaughn Tubman (Shelly). Another volunteer is Margaret Baldwin whose father, Rex Dunipace, was principal of the High School.

Because PG is a small town there are many connections, I will truly miss it, as will the people who worked and are still working with me.

We learned to know our customers, donors and their pets. We always had treat for the two and four legged friends and will wherever we go. People would stop by my office and sit down to chat. I understand that there are those who don’t approve of such informality, but I grew up and continued with a volunteer mentality, ...it is my nature to be friendly to those who request it which has worked for over 30 years. I just ran across a letter I received from a customer at the Treasure Shop. ” UNCLE BILL’S EULOGY FOR TIM

Tim was an individual. He did what he wanted to do. He joined the US Army and served overseas in Germany and Laos. Then work for 30 years with General Motors.

He bought an old house by Ellicott Creek and was restoring it. One of the last things he did was to have the metal roof installed. That will last 100 years!

We talked about it during our many 1 ½ hour telephone conversations.

I was very proud of him I told him in a letter how well he did with his life and I was glad that he fulfilled his

MAINTENANCE SERVICE

dreams.

I admired the caregiving to his many cats. The last cat he rescued in California, he named Bixby after the famous bridge.

May you rest in Peace, Tim, you deserve it.

With all my love,

Uncle Bill” Bill (William Robbins) went on to say “Tim was 59 years old. Bixby was taken to Western New York and was adopted by Carrie Kubik, Tim’s niece, I wonder how he like the winters in New York State. The two cats adopted

by Tim 15 years ago never left the house, only looked out the windows on the second floor and watched as the snowflakes fell down Bill Robbins” I cherish these stories and hope that people will continue to send them. My mailing address is 770 Grove Street, Monterey and telephone number 831-649-0657. I miss seeing the animals, of course, we all miss their parents as well and we promise that we will have goodies for you both when we have another shop. Please remember our estate sale in Pebble Beach on November 10,11,12.

Three more nights to see Stephen Moorer astound audiences as the swashbuckling romantic in Cyrano. October 5 through the 28 and Halloween is the Rocky Horror Picture Show, alternating new and established casts at Paper Wing Theatre on Hoffman Avenue. Then get ready for Mamma Mia on November 16 at The Golden Bough Playhouse, Ariel is offering You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Western Stage just finished In the Heights with Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein coming in November. Who needs Broadway and San Francisco when we have such great theater; although, I must say I miss MPC’s offerings and Henry, Sky and Gary. Those were good days.

Patricia Hamilton has created a masterpiece with her Life in Pacific Grove, even if you don’t live in “America’s Last Home Town” you will enjoy the tales of the city (some of which were written by and recounted to yours truly). It was a labor of love on the part of Patricia. Those of us who contributed had fun doing it. Ms Hamilton probably didn’t sleep for two or three months putting it together and those beautiful drawings of Keith Larson. It is available on Amazon. Incidentally Patricia is publishing the book written by me, illustrated by daughter Jennie. Look for it after the first of the year.

And, if you are very, very good, we will autograph.

Webster Slate and Guest Artists I am a figurative painter by heart I was pulled into the world of figurative painting the moment I did my first Bouguereau master copy of “Satyr and the Nymphs” in college. Shortly after I completed meticulous drawings after many great painters and completed more than 2,000 anatomical studies. Drawing the figure and the rhythms that accompany it are my home.

Having said that, I have had the privilege to apprentice under a plein-aire painter for half a year so I am able to shine a light on both subjects.

Both categories of painting require the basics of drawing, composition, rhythm and telling a story within the realm of the work. There are some major differences between the two categories and the first of which is playing the light. With “Pacific Grove” I established a quick foundation of the rocky formation and boat in the distance. The sky was laid in multiple times with watercolor wash but notice that even though I have laid the grounds for the drawing I don’t delve deeply into any intricate aspects of the landscape. I focus only on the way light portrays the objects on itself and how the edges are formed.

When completing optical paintings such as the landscape I am essentially skimming through the surface of what I am seeing and displaying the appropriate values, edges and colors.

With “Natalie Reclining” I delve much deeper into the drawing and focus from inwards and build the form outwards.

This is called structural drawing and it is the main driving point in which I work. I am not skimming on the appearance of the figure but I am looking at the structures of “Natalie” as a whole. I start with a rhythmic drawing searching for the life force of her gesture. Once that is established the abstraction of the light and dark shapes are established and once that is confirmed I move towards refining the drawing with anatomical landmarks such as using the 7th vertebrae to confirm her shoulders are accurately portrayed.

Many painters work in only the optical way of seeing when it comes to painting figurative work as well as landscapes and still lifes these painters focus is more tuned to the outer appearance of the way light shows us what they are seeing.

Examples of these painters includeJohn Sargent, Jeremy Lipking and Richard Schmid. There are a smaller few that focus on the structural way of seeing form and they use the structural method when it comes to figurative, landscapes and still life. A prime example would be a painter named Ted Seth Jacobs who taught me to see structure as a whole. Some other examples are William Bouguereau and Jacob Collins.

Breaker of the Week

Elijah Taurke

Elijah Taurke does just about everything. The PGHS sophomore has played ultimate frisbee for several years now, having been introduced to the sport by his father. And he performs on the stage, too.

Last spring, Elijah had a lead role as the dopey sidekick Lefou in the high school’s production of “Beauty and the Beast.” In addition to theater, he is an accomplished trombonist (as well as cellist on the side).

Elijah has played with the MPC Orchestra as well as the Monterey Pops Orchestra.

Notably, he received special recognition last February as the concerto competition winner for Youth Music Monterey, and he later got to perform that winning concerto at Carmel’s Sunset Center.

Elijah is also a runner on the PGHS cross country team, despite having been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at the age of six. He chose to use his condition to champion a noble cause--the Jingle Bell Run, which is held in PG during the holiday season and benefits arthritis research. For his tenacity, charity, and variety, Elijah Taurke is our Breaker of the Week.

Seven York School Students Recognized in 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program

Officials of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation have announced the names of the Semifinalists, Commended Students, and National Hispanic Scholars in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program. Among these groups are seven York School seniors.

Semifinalist from York: Kaden Agha (Carmel Valley) Commended Students from York: Amy Cho (Salinas), Lekha Duvvoori (Gilroy), Megan Tang (Monterey) National Hispanic Scholars from York: Jared Aldape Duron (Salinas), Mason McCollum (Marina), Jojo McGuire (Seaside) About 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.

The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. From the approximately 16,000 Semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the Finalist level, and in February will be notified of this designation. Although they will not continue in the 2018 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of the entrants and National Hispanic Recognition scholars placed among the top two point five percent of Hispanic and Latino test takers in our region.

In congratulating these seniors, Chuck Harmon, Head of School, said, “We are preparing a diverse community of creative and independent thinkers for success in college and in life, and National Merit recognition is just one example of the long tradition of academic excellence at York School. We are fortunate to attract very bright and talented young people to our school, and we are committed to a growth mindset, believing that students can increase their abilities and improve their skills, including test-taking. Inspirational teaching leads to dedication and diligence, and the result is the enhancement of talent and performance.”

About York School Founded in 1959, York School, located in Monterey, Calif., inspires and prepares a diverse community of creative, independent thinkers. Drawing students from public and independent middle schools in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties, the 225 students in grades 8-12 benefit from an exceptional academic program and a welcoming community.

Committed faculty and small class sizes allow for personal attention and keep courses engaging and inspiring. Beyond the classroom, students pursue a variety of extra-curricular activities including athletics, fine and performing arts, clubs, and service learning. This dynamic learning environment prepares York students to be leaders in an exciting future, meeting global challenges with confidence and compassion. York is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the California Association of Independent Schools, and is a member of National Association of Independent Schools and the Independent Left: Kaden Agha – NM Semifinalist from Carmel Valley Curriculum Group.

Strong Elite Field to Compete in Monterey Bay Half Marathon Equalizer Challenge will Create Exciting Finish

More than three dozen top runners will gather for the 15th Monterey Bay Half Marathon to be held Sunday, November 12. An exceptionally-strong female field will be challenged by a group of equally-talented men as the two sexes battle to the finish in an attempt to win cash bonuses making up the $30,000 purse, one of the largest offered for half marathons in the U.S. For the second year, the scenic and race-friendly Monterey Bay Half Marathon will feature the innovative “Equalizer Challenge” with the elite women’s field receiving a nine minute and five second head start in front of the elite men. The first three finishers across the line receive cash bonuses of $3,000, $1,500 or $500 in addition to prize money awarded to the top eight male and female finishers.

To catch the women, the lead men need to average 41 seconds per mile faster for the 13.1-mile half marathon distance than the lead women. Last year, the women’s pace was 44 seconds per mile above the men’s and they were caught with less than a mile to go. The additional five seconds may bring the race for the first three spots right to the finish line.

Blade Runner II Duller Tom Stevens

Otter Views

Join Us for Fall Fridays Dive into the weekend with special rates for locals.

For sci-fi movie buffs, the past half century has produced many genre-expanding films, among them “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T.,” “The Andromeda Strain,” “Star Wars,” “Alien” and “Terminator,” to name a handful.

When viewers emerged from one of these classics into post-matinee sunlight or midnight fog, a period of catharsis often followed. It was more than just: “Wow, what a rush!” There was also a sense of disorientation, as if the ground underfoot had shifted.

Cutting-edge sci-fi can throw your certainties off balance.

When the original “Blade Runner” appeared in 1982, its evocation of a decaying future Los Angeles set the template for movie dystopias to follow. Many have followed, but none quite equaled that film’s acid-etched portrait of a teeming metropolis bereft of hope, sunlight, greenery and fresh air.

In their place, filmmaker Ridley Scott conjured a half-ruined cityscape of smoky avenues, squalid apartment towers and skyscraper-sized neon billboards glimpsed through a bleary, dismal rain. Hover cars, android “replicants” and other futuristic flourishes shared the screen with commonplaces like noodle shops and plastic raincoats.

The most disturbing aspect of Scott’s dark vision was its seeming normalcy. The umbrella-toting denizens of this future L.A.’s vast, gritty, twilit underworld went about their business with the usual jostling and clamor of city people anywhere. No one seemed to realize or care that their world was rotting in the rain. Or perhaps they were long past caring -- in some ways an even grimmer prospect.

Scott and his original “Blade Runner” team created a narrative as indelible and disquieting as its dystopian setting. Harrison Ford played Deckard, a hard-guy cop assigned to hunt down and exterminate rebellious android slaves who escape an orbiting prison and return vengefully to earth. The film was set in an imaginary 2019.

What made Deckard’s quest more compelling than the standard cops and villains shoot-out was that the androids had superhuman powers but human aspirations. They wanted to live, love and taste freedom. Alas, their batteries were running down. Desperate to find their callous corporate creator, they sought to force a rejuvenation.

Released two years before Apple’s prophetic “Big Brother” video ad, “Blade Runner” built upon the artificial intelligence (AI) questions British coding pioneer Alan Turing embedded in his “Turing test.” What is intelligence? How do we differentiate human response from machine response? Can machines think, plan and adapt? And, by extension, might machines and humans one day become indistinguishable?

The original “Blade Runner” wove these ethical and philosophical conundrums seamlessly into a fast-paced cops-and-robots survival drama that left viewers white-knuckled. The film also adroitly foreshadowed contemporary issues like climate change, widening economic disparity, and worldwide corporate corruption.

Last Friday saw the release of “Blade Runner 2049.” Midway between homage and sequel, the new film from Canadian director Denis Villeneuve brings along two principals from the 1982 Ridley Scott team. Harrison Ford plays a reclusive but still formidable Deckard three haggard decades along. And co-scriptwriter Hampton Fancher reprises many of the troubling themes he explored in the 1982 film.

Despite this duo’s best efforts and those of cinematographer Roger Deakens and production designer Dennis Glassner, “2049” never quite achieves liftoff. While its Los Angeles is even grimmer, its visuals more arresting and its androids far more advanced than those in the original, “2049” nonetheless misses the tripwire narrative drive and surprising soulfulness of its predecessor.

What Villeneuve’s team presents instead is a plodding, overlong (2 hours, 43 minutes) mystery drama with far too many plot holes and loose threads. Their 2049 dystopia is pictorially fascinating enough to keep viewers in a steady frisson of visual suspense, but the storyline is so bewildering and many-tentacled it diminishes the pleasure.

In the 30 years since “Blade Runner’s” 2019 world, the boundary between humans and androids has grown so permeable it’s impossible to tell them apart, nor does the film offer viewers any reason to try. The human-android tension that gave “Blade Runner” its philosophical grounding and crackling narrative drive is altogether missing here, and “2049” suffers as a result.

The tradeoff is computer graphics. As far as I could determine, the only overtly human characters in “2049” are a tough L.A. police chief (Robin Wright), a leggy blonde prostitute and the aforementioned Deckard. Everyone else is either a new-generation android “replicant,” an app-generated hologram, or a survivor replicant from the first movie. It’s hard to know whom (or what) to root for.

Ryan Gosling bears up robotically under all this, but his sad sack android bounty hunter is as depressing as the world through which he trudges. There’s some talk of replicant reproduction (“I’ve seen a miracle!”) and a coming robot revolution, but those ideas go nowhere.

Clean Water: Are You Financially Prepared for an Is Your Family Emergency or Natural Disaster?

(StatePoint) When it comes to emergency and natural disaster preparation, clean, uncontaminated water should be top-of-mind. Being prepared ahead of time is essential to make sure your household will be able to hydrate safely throughout the duration of an emergency.

Natural disasters, such as tornadoes, floods and hurricanes, can compromise local water sources. Flooding can be especially dangerous, when harmful bacteria and contaminants that transmit life-threatening diseases can be present in nearby waterways. Unfortunately, flooding can occur after a number of emergency scenarios, from heavy rains to hurricanes to situations when snow melts too quickly.

“Contamination in fresh water sources continues to be a public health problem domestically and worldwide. During emergency scenarios, the issue is amplified, as water can become unreliable for consumption,” says Alison Hill, managing director of LifeStraw, a manufacturer of water filtration systems.

Consumers need to have the ability to filter their water following an emergency situation. Be sure your emergency supplies include a portable filter which can fit onto a wide variety of popular water bottle brands such as LifeStraw Universal. This versatile filter fits on most bottles you already own and offers two-stage filtration to remove 99.999999 percent of bacteria and 99.999 percent of protozoa, while also reducing chemicals, bad taste and odors.

The LifeStraw Universal kit is available online and at specialty retail stores.

“We’ve developed portable filtration technology to give consumers greater confidence that, in an emergency situation or natural disaster, they can have access to safe water for days, weeks, even months following a situation where their water supply is compromised,” says Hill.

While most people don’t like to dwell on worst case scenarios, the right preparation can help you remain healthy and safe during an emergency. Be sure that you equip your family with practical means to have safe drinking water.

A local effort for fire victims

Al Siekert, the Pacific Grove man who recently won a Jefferson Award for volunteer work and labors weekly to provide a healthy Sunday morning breakfast at Windows by the Bay, has added more giving to his plate. You can help.

As of this writing, the Wine Country fires have killed at least 21 people, destroyed more than 2,000 buildings, and are rapidly changing and moving quickly. 560 people remain unaccounted for. Some 70,000 acres have been torched and 25,000 people have fled their homes, taking nothing with them and filling shelters.

Al will make a huge batch of ham hocks and beans and take it to the Wine Country fire victims Sunday morning, along with clothing donated by the public.

Men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing and toiletries are needed, especially cool/cold weather gear.

Please bring items to Cedar Street Times, 306 Grand Ave. in Pacific Grove. We will hold them until Friday, when Al will leave for Wine Country. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

following tips for getting organized and prepared for the unexpected.

• Compile information.The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Emergency Financial First Aid Kit includes fillable checklists, and is a handy and free way to compile important information, such as driver’s license numbers, birth certificates and Social Security numbers, bank accounts, insurance policies, mortgage statements, credit cards, taxes, health insurance cards, accounts, medications taken and any other health records, as well as household contact information, including landlords, doctors, schools, employers, contractors, lawyers, and insurance agents.

Be sure to revisit this information periodically and update it as needed.

• Review your paperwork. Review your insurance policies and financial paperwork to be sure that they are current.

Update any policies as soon as possible, so you are not without coverage when you need it most. After an emergency, contact your insurance agents about your policies to find out what you can expect, including an explanation of benefits. For example, many homeowners policies cover alternative living expenses that can help provide you and your family with temporary housing needs, meals and other life necessities.

• Seek mortgage relief. In the event of an emergency, having access to your mortgage information can be critical, as you may be eligible for mortgage relief.

“When FEMA announces that individual assistance programs have been

extended in major disaster areas, we quickly respond by offering mortgage relief options for those in the impacted areas. This includes suspending mortgage payments for up to 12 months so victims of natural disasters can focus on what’s important: their own safety and the safety of their families,” says Yvette Gilmore, Freddie Mac VP, Single-Family Servicer Performance Management. “As soon as it’s safe to do so, it’s important that impacted homeowners contact their mortgage company right away to discuss their mortgage relief options.”

• Get secured. Secure your property as best as possible, keeping it safe from damaging natural elements and, if you are evacuating, potential vandalism while it sits empty. Consider protecting valuables, mementos and personal information in a safety deposit box or a

fire- and water-proof safe. When it’s safe to return home, document any damage to your home and belongings with photos or videos, if possible.

• Get smart. Unfortunately, crises tend to bring out scam artists. Be wary of post-disaster scams and anyone offering to provide you with immediate assistance for money. Government officials will never ask for money and will always show their ID badges.

For more disaster preparedness tips and resources, visit www.FreddieMac. com/blog.

Saving for a rainy day is an important step that everyone should take to prepare for the unexpected. But remember, true financial preparation for emergencies and disasters goes beyond a savings account.

For peace of mind, use free online resources to get organized.

Be Prepared for an Emergency Be Red Cross Ready!

Being prepared means being equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster.

Keep your supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate.

At a minimum, you should have the basic supplies listed below:

Water: one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home) Food: non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply for home).

Flashlight [Available on the Red Cross Store] Battery-powered or hand-crank radio (NOAA Weather Radio, if possible) [Available on the Red Cross Store] Extra batteries First aid kit [Available on the Red Cross Store]

Medications (7-day supply) and medical items Multi-purpose tool Sanitation and personal hygiene items Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies) Cell phone with chargers Family and emergency contact information Extra cash Emergency blanket [Available on the Red Cross Store] Map(s) of the area Consider the needs of all family members and add supplies to your kit. Suggested items to help meet additional needs are: Medical supplies (hearing aids with extra batteries, glasses, contact lenses, syringes, etc) Baby supplies (bottles, formula, baby food, diapers)

Games and activities for children Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowl) Two-way radios Extra set of car keys and house keys Manual can opener Additional supplies to keep at home or in your survival kit based on the types of disasters common to your area: Whistle N95 or surgical masks Matches Rain gear Towels Work gloves Tools/supplies for securing your home Extra clothing, hat and sturdy shoes Plastic sheeting Duct tape Scissors Household liquid bleach Entertainment items

Does Your Trust Have a “Flight Clause”?

modification of the trust without court involvement could be very helpful.

Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.

Planning for Each Generation Estate planning seems simple on the surface. You sign a series of documents naming a responsible party to manage your assets in the event of your incapacity and directing how your assets should be distributed upon your death. However, once you start to really think carefully about all the issues that are involved in the transfer and stewardship of your hard-earned assets, you begin to realize that an estate plan should be comprehensive and should address a multitude of detailed considerations. One important but often overlooked consideration is which state governs your trust?

With the exception of federal tax considerations, estate planning is mostly governed by state law. Each state has its own unique rules regarding the administration and interpretation of trust provisions. Typically the state in which your trust was drafted and where you reside will govern the terms of your trust.

However, there are occasions when it might be prudent to allow for a change in the governing law. A provision allowing the change of the governing law of your trust is often referred to as a “flight

“Harry,” The 1930 Harley-Davidson “Bobber”

clause.” Below are a few examples of how including a “flight clause” in your trust can be beneficial to your overall estate plan.

1. Roaming Beneficiaries In today’s society, it is rare for people to spend their entire lives in the same hometown. People often move to different states for schooling, career opportunities, and adventure. It is likely that you might move to a different state after establishing your trust or that your beneficiaries might move to a different state after your death. Although your trust will be recognized in all 50 states, it might be practical or more convenient to have the governing law of your trust match the state in which the beneficiaries reside.

2. Keeping the Trust Current Your basic living trust remains revocable during your lifetime. However, upon your death, your trust becomes irrevocable. A good comprehensive estate plan will often continue the trust for the lives of your beneficiaries in order to provide them with a degree of creditor protection and divorce protection. However, circumstances can change and it might be beneficial or necessary to modify the terms of the trust even after it has technically become irrevocable. Some states, such as California, require court involvement in limited circumstances in order to modify an otherwise irrevocable trust after the Trust-maker is deceased.

Other states allow for the beneficiaries to agree to a modification without court involvement. If an irrevocable trust needs to be modified, a “flight clause” allowing the governing law of the trust to be moved to a state that allows for

3. Extending the Life of the Trust Most states have a “Rule Against Perpetuities,” or a “RAP,” which limits the period of time in which a trust can last. Other states have greatly extended their RAP or have entirely eliminated their RAP. Sometimes you might want your trust to last for generations, such as to provide funding for the education of your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. A “flight clause” could allow a trust governed under a state with a short RAP to be moved to a state with a longer RAP in order to allow the trust to continue for a much longer period of time.

4. Better Creditor Protection State laws vary greatly on whether or not a trust can provide the beneficiaries with creditor protection. The most favorable states are typically Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming, and Alaska among others. If a trust is formed and governed under the laws of a less favorable jurisdiction, a “flight clause” might allow the trust to be moved to a more favorable state to provide the beneficiary with better creditor protection.

Conclusion: Although all of these planning opportunities involve their own nuances and are often dependent upon the particular facts and circumstances of the situation, the presence of a “flight clause” can provide flexibility in a variety of circumstances.

The traditional method of setting the governing law of a trust in stone has its limitations and can often frustrate the purpose or limit the benefits of the trust.

Art in Service of Anti-Bullying

Linda Regula Anti-Bullying Event Reaching for the Light Visiting Artist: LINDA REGULA Thursday, October 19, 7-8:30 pm Ohio-based artist Linda Regula has spent her adult life transforming dark, painful childhood memories into powerful works of art and empowering others to find their creative voices. The inspiring painter, author, teacher, and activist will be visiting Monterey and sharing her story at Open Ground Studios on Thursday, Oct. 19.

Regula was born the second youngest of nine children in a tar-papered shack in West Virginia. “My mother ran away when I was nine years old,” she explains. “I was ill-dressed, hungry, abused, and fearful of my father’s violence. Although a world of poverty and neglect surrounded my physical body, I was also blessed because powerful imagination allowed me to create safe and beautiful worlds that helped me cope and nurtured my soul.”

At thirteen, an older sister returned and took Linda to Ohio where she was the first in her family to graduate high school. In 1976, married and living on a farm, she fell forty feet from the upper loft of a four-story dairy barn and spent twenty-two months in a hospital recovering. It was then that she discovered her love of painting thanks to a friend who installed an overhead easel above her hospital bed.

Today at 73, Linda is a prolific painter, whose haunting, colorful oil paintings have been widely displayed and collected. She has owned two art galleries, served as a museum curator, and led numerous arts organizations. She is also an author, teacher, motivational speaker, and anti-bullying activist. She is co-founder of an anti-bullying organization with former painting student, Monterey-based artist Paul Richmond. He attributes his lifelong love of art to his inspiring mentor. The pair, who have remained close friends since Richmond began taking painting lessons at her studio at age three, started You Will Rise in order to empower young people who have been affected by bullying to speak out. Currently, You Will Rise is hosting their first series of workshops for high school students in this area every Sunday in October at Open Ground Studios.

“Reaching for the Light: Visiting Artist Linda Regula” will take place Thursday, October 19 from 7-8:30 pm at Open Ground Studios. The event will begin with a screening of the short documentary “The Mentor and the Artist” by Wild Iris Video that tells the story of the unique mentoring relationship between Linda and Paul. After the film, Linda will share her paintings and discuss how she rose above adversity. The event is free and all are welcome.

SPONSORS – This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Arts Council of Monterey County, the You Will Rise Project, Open Ground Studios and Paul Richmond. We are seeking additional sponsors to support and build this program on the West Coast. Those interested can contact Open Ground Studios to get involved.

ABOUT THE VENUE At Open Ground Studios we believe art plays a profound role in our human experience. As adults we are often consumed by the pace and responsibilities of our lives, while our creative spirits wait patiently to be revived. We believe emerging and professional artists thrive in a collaborative and supportive community, where freedom for innovation, growth, and camaraderie is limitless. It is our responsibility as a society to invest in the arts to preserve and strengthen this aspect of our community and of ourselves. At Open Ground Studios we specialize in maintaining space for the exploration of visual art that inspires transformation. Open Ground Studios is located in Seaside in a 2000SF space that that houses a gallery, communal studio space, coworking, a printmaking studio, and a frame room. OGS serves teens, adults, artists and creative explorers.

We promote community entrйe into creative productivity by hosting workshops, open studio time, classes, social events, and exhibition space.

MPCTA Seeks State Mediator to Resolve Contract Issues After Four Years of Frustrating Negotiations With College District In a press release, frustrated Monterey Peninsula College Teachers Association (MPCTA) members reminded the public they have been in fruitless negotiations with the Monterey Peninsula Community College District for longer than four years and state they will now seek state mediation to help reach a fair settlement that halts faculty turnover due to low pay.

During these four years, MPCTA faculty salaries have fallen in statewide comparisons. The only salary increases faculty have secured have required a grievance procedure and state mediation.

During this past year the district has chosen to expand administration by hiring three new deans and creating one new vice-president position.

MPC’s faculty earnings are 10 percent below other local colleges and are near the lowest in the state, which makes it difficult to recruit and retain faculty, said MPCTA President Lauren Blanchard. “The most recent salary comparison indicates that MPC faculty salaries rank 59th out of 65 college districts that rely solely on state funds,” she said. “The turnover created by this incredible wage decline takes a

significant toll on students because it is harder to recruit and retain instructors who design programs and classes, deliver instruction, and provide valuable feedback to students.”

The union has engaged in positional bargaining since October 2016 and has yet to settle a single substantial contract article. MPCTA has offered agreement to contract changes required for accreditation

by ACCJC and compromised significantly on salary, but the district’s compensation proposal has gotten smaller and smaller.

Given this regressive approach to bargaining, MPCTA reluctantly concludes that state mediation is necessary to help achieve a fair contract. MPCTA is hopeful that with state intervention a contract can be achieved soon.

The Monterey Peninsula College Teachers Association is part of the Community College Association, which is affiliated with the 325,000-member California Teachers Association and the 3 million-member National Education Association.

Lecture by Author Kate Levinson

‘Emotional Currency’ at All Saints’ Carmel

Friday, October 20, 7:00 p.m.

Lecture - Open to the public - $10 www.allsaintscarmel.org We generally think of money in terms of having enough or not enough of it. No matter how much or how little money we have, money is one of the most emotionally charged areas of our lives and what we feel and think about it – consciously and unconsciously – greatly influences how we deal with money matters. We rarely think about what money means to us, much less how we respond to money emotionally.

Dr. Kate Levinson, author of “Emotional Currency,” will lead an introductory exploration about our inner money lives and the relationship of spirit and money at All Saints’, Dolores and Ninth, Carmel, Friday October 20, at 7:00 p.m.

“Here’s the book every woman (and most men) need: a clear, thoughtful and beautifully written guide for how to cope with the myriad of emotions caused by money. Kate Levinson shows how money is both mercilessly public and intimately personal, stirring up our deepest feelings about independence, status, and attractiveness, and terrifying confusion between net worth and self worth.”

Robert Reich, author of “Then Next Economy and America’s Future” Dr. Kate Levinson is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#MFC 15955) and holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology. She has spent more than 20 years studying the interface of money and psychology. Levinson works with clients, couples and groups with a wide range of life and financial issues, in her private practice in San Rafael and Point Reyes Station. Kate is the author of Emotional Currency: A Woman’s Guide to Building a Health Relationship with Money, an insightful and empowering guide that offers a profound new approach to dealing with money. Kate leads Emotional Currency workshops throughout the country, and Women, Money, Spirit conferences in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kate also blogs on Psychology Today.

Homeless Hotspots—Part VI

Is “Blue Bird” healthcare a hint of Homeless Town urban renewal?

Identifying the Fremont/Canyon Del Rey intersection as prime hotspot where local under-housed people gather kicked off this series. If you’re curious about why, consider these facts: To the casual passerby, it’s the tourism industry’s landmark border where Seaside, Monterey and Del Rey Oaks meet. But to those who live in and around the intersection, it’s the unofficial city center of Monterey Peninsula’s version of Homeless Town. Why? Across from Safeway, Laguna Grande Park is Homeless Town’s residential district.

On both sides of Fremont Blvd., Seaside’s restaurant row, where homeless persons rummage through trash cans seven days a week, and women are fed on Mondays at Burger King.

On the west side in Walgreens parking lot, a revolution in health care is under way Is this indicative of subtle urban renewal?

Pay heed!

Revelation by a trash picker I thank a thirty-something immigrant I’ll call Jose for setting me straight about the significance of this intersection. Here’s how it happened: Last Monday night, while hauling my trash bins to the street for Seaside’s Tuesday-morning pickup, a shadowy figure swiftly rounded the corner on his bicycle.

I recognized him as one of Seaside’s trash pickers. They never enter private property, but freely help themselves to curbside discards.

I always put my recyclable water bottles in a separate plastic sack that hangs on a fence post for easy pick up. On Tuesday morning, both sack and bottles are always gone.

Until this week, I’d never spoken to

A homeless hotspot is any place unsheltered people hang in or hang out in order to hang on.

Logo designed by Barbara Quin one of the trash pickers, but now I said hello to the young man in a baseball cap.

He slowed to a stop. In polite broken English he asked, “Do you have any recyclables?”

I handed over my small collection of seven plastic bottles.

“Muchas gracias. Things are now very bad for my business.”

“What business is that?” I asked.

“Recyclables,” he said, explaining that since the recycling center in the Safe-

way parking lot recently closed, he must take his collections to Salinas to sell them.

“You carry bags of empty bottles to Salinas on your bicycle?”

“Oh, no. I fill big sacks and then a friend takes me in his truck.”

Jose waved goodbye and rode on to the next set of trash cans.

Cash-and-carry street banking The flashbulb in my mind lit up. The recycling operation at Safeway had been the financial center of the peninsula’s unofficial Homeless Town.

The loss of the recycling center could be, to the homeless and needy, as devastating as the bank crash of 1929 was to all Americans.

I thought of Safeway as I remembered entering it from Fremont Ave. Until Jose illuminated me, I hadn’t missed the large boxcar surrounded by throngs of people with plastic bags that filled the pavement under the Black Bear Diner’s parking lot. Now I remembered dozens of poor folks standing in long queues. When they reached the front of the line, they exchanged their recyclables for a few cents

per bottle the way bank clients approach the teller’s window to withdraw pocket cash from their accounts.

I thought, “The recycling center operators were the equivalent of countless underprivileged or homeless people’s bank tellers who dispensed cash and carry money.”

“Omigod,” I admitted. “They vanished and I didn’t even notice they were gone!”

Did you?

When God closes a door A memorable line from the movie “The Sound of Music” popped into mind.

The sister superior said, “When God closes a door, He opens a window.”

Metaphorically, it means when something good vanishes, something new appears.

And so it came to pass that as of Sept.

28, 2017, there came to another of the four corners of the Fremont/Canyon Del Rey intersection something akin to a miracle.

A big blue bus named Blue Bird opened to welcome and serve much-needed health care.

The big bus named Blue Bird Every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., the homeless will be welcome in the parking lot of Walgreens, 1055 Fremont Blvd., Seaside as the first location of Montage Health Care’s Mobile Clinic serving the homeless in Monterey County.

Staffed by a nurse practitioner, clinicians and volunteers, the former Bloodmobile bus will offer treatment for sore throats, earaches, coughs, sinus issues, minor skin, wound and urinary infections.

Other services will include diabetes and blood pressure screenings and treatment.

Montage Health, parent company of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, is committed to making a positive impact on healthcare delivery to community members who otherwise have limited access to healthcare.

At least on Thursdays, the homeless will reappear!
