KING CITY — Hartnell College will host a series of open forums this month focusing on the progress of its Measure T projects, including the expansion of the King City Education Center and the new Soledad Education Center.

The first of three upcoming forums is scheduled for tonight, Sept. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the King City Education Center, 117 N. Second St., room 109.

Other forums will take place Sept. 19 at the Main Campus in Salinas and Sept. 26 at the Soledad High School community room, also at 6 p.m.

SOUTH COUNTY

Local officials to express needs to state transportation commissioners at Gonzales town hall meeting Meeting set for next Wednesday at Gonzales City Hall CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE GONZALES — The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has announced that commissioners from the California Transportation Commission will be in the area on Sept. 19-20 to meet with local officials and residents to discuss current and future transportation

needs that address safety improvements and the economic vibrancy of the region.

“This is a great opportunity for us and for them,” said TAMC Executive Director Debbie Hale. “It’s not often that we get a visit from the commissioners; and with this visit, they get to hear directly from the community about what our needs are in Monterey County, which are often different from those in more urban communities.”

The Commission is the primary decision-maker for California funding of transportation projects.

According to Hale, “The Commis-

sion allocated $19 million to the Imjin Parkway project through SB 1 funds and they will be able to fund (Highway) 101 improvements south of Salinas if the new gas taxes remain in place.”

On Wednesday, Sept. 19, TAMC officials, City of Gonzales staff members and a coalition of Central Coast transportation professionals will host a town hall meeting with the commissioners from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Gonzales City Hall, 117 Fourth St., in Gonzales.

During that meeting, commissioners will be given an overview of transportation needs that include

Presenters at the town hall meeting include the Monterey County Agricultural Commissioner and representatives from TAMC, the City of Gonzales, the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, Monterey County Farm Bureau, Monterey County Vintners and Growers, Monterey-Salinas Transit and Caltrans District 5.

After the meeting, the commis-

sioners will review the Gonzales’ Alta Street Project, which was Monterey County’s first major project funded by revenues from Measure X and the gas tax (SB 1), followed by a tour of the Taylor Farms facility in Gonzales.

On Thursday, Sept. 20, commissioners will take a guided bus tour along some of most congested roadways to learn about Monterey County projects designed to address safety and congestion. These projects include: Highway 101 south of Salinas, Highways 1, 68 and 218, Imjin Parkway and the Rail Extension to Salinas.

The pain felt good “S

o Mum. You ever thought of getting a tattoo?” “No.” “How about a dragonfly tattoo?” “Oh.” And so the idea sprung, just like that. In all my many years on the planet I had never, ever, ever contemplated getting my skin inked, burned, colored — whatever it is they do to your skin to ensure that that part of your body never looks the same again.

I remember, clearly, barking at my daughter the multiple times she inked her body, under-age and without my permission, on various parts of her anatomy. Later, I had even attended tattoo removal sessions with her, where I witnessed her go ashen grey and clammy sicky white with the agony of it all; let alone the expense. My friend took me along for her first tattoo — a dove on the shoulder.

She dug her nails into my skin, as the scratcher worked on her, and frothed, nearly, with the pain of it, going a sickly grey color as well, with me wondering what on earth I would do with her when she keeled over on the ground in front of me, vomiting on my shoes. She didn’t even care much for the tattoo later on, calling it a ‘fat pigeon’ and wishing she could undo it.

But it felt as if I would and could do this. I wanted to do this.

Since my sister’s passing, the dragonfly has been an important symbol of her existence in the after

life in some shape or form. Often she is flying through our secret garden — perhaps as an electric blue Mama, or baby, or, on occasion, as the very strong red-orange character creature reflected in her engagement veil, the special visitor from another realm I saw the day before she passed; the one that calmed me and told me it was going to be OK, she was going to be OK, we were going to be OK. Friends, the world over, seek out the dragon fly as well.

“She was at breakfast with us today,” her old friends in Turkey tell me. “What color?” I ask.

“Orange.” (No wonder she wasn’t in my garden this morning!) “She was there today,” another tells me from the north of England. “What color?” I enquire. “Green.” Aha. She’s making the circuit, checking in on everyone, making sure we are not losing our minds, or falling apart as we promised her we wouldn’t. She’s showing us, from the other side of the curtain, down the road, around the corner, that she is still present in our worlds, she is still with us and coaching us through the early months of life without her earthly body among us.

My daughter would send me various images of dragon flies. No the wings are too low, it looks too evil, the body is too short … and then she came across the perfect mixture of person and dragonfly, the merge-purge of sister-auntie and dragonfly we felt to be our reality. “Yes!” I exclaim, “Yes, that’s it!” And here the idea grew further

and developed a tail and a name.

It would be “Bud” for me, since that’s what I called Baby sis, and “Rowie” for my daughter since that was forever her name for her auntie. Our distinguishing marks would now be matching tattoos.

But it was still a dream.

Were we really going to do this? Like anything a little tricky, we didn’t tell anyone of our well-designed plan. She found the tattoo parlor and artist — a well-established professional establishment in downtown San Luis. I found the days to come down and visit. “It’s just for a consultation, Mum,” she tells me, to which I thought to myself … not if I have anything to do with it. If I step inside one of those parlors, it is because we are doing this thing.

I didn’t dare tell anyone, lest they try and talk me out of it or I lose my nerve. This was a fine line we were treading.

We step inside for our consultation. The artist was kind and helpful, interesting. Like your own physician or psychiatrist, we felt comfortable with him. “Come back later today,” he tells us. “Today, like really today, no more sleeps?

That today?” “Yes, today.” We were going to do this thing today.

Except we were not, as it turns out.

A customer went a little long, his colleague didn’t really get where we were coming from and, a bit deflated, we rescheduled for early the next morning. Not today, as it turned out. But we played tennis and braved ourselves for an early morning the following day.

Up with the birds and the lure of the ocean, we arrived early and got in line at the local coffee shop, where it was publicly announced that everything would be a 25 minute wait. We grabbed the quickest cup of coffee we could and received a text that our artist was going to be 25 minutes late.

We giggled nervously and waited some more.

As he proceeded to etch out the approved design and coloring, I felt a bit euphoric. Here I was, well over middle-aged and getting my first tattoo of my dragonfly, my baby girl, my Bud. And that, somehow, helped with the discomfort. The pain of the needles was lessened by the pain in my heart and, actually, in a strange way, it felt good to experience physical pain of some sort at this time.

Like a burn or scratch or irritation, it wasn’t exactly pleasant, but I thought of sis and how she would react and how this was the best tribute to her and the love I feel for her at this particular time in life.

It’s also a gorgeous piece of artwork, representing a magic creature, magic colors and just sheer magic during a period of painful loss. We thanked Brian for his talent, artistry and thoughtfulness with us. He told us he was honored to be a part of honoring Rosie and it became a very special day.

Make everything count! That’s what we would say, after our adventures of the last few days. Life is short: take the vacation, make the move. Get the tattoo.

Faith of trees

I

have sat here for the past 30 minutes trying to think of something that perhaps occurred in school to tell you about, but I think you have probably heard all about my returning to school. You have probably heard enough about that. Then it occurred to me that I probably have not told you of my weeping willow. Well, maybe I did tell you.

Anyway I’m sitting here sweating bullets as it is hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement.

Do you remember when every year there would be some reporter from a state on the great flatlands of the Midwest who would actually take an egg and try to cook it on the sidewalk or asphalt? I don’t know what that proved unless you were with the reporter. Well, I never had to worry about the heat because my beautiful weeping willow would throw shade on my office all day long. It was pretty nice to walk into my office and have the temperature drop about 10 degrees.

That’s all gone now. Dust in

the wind. I cut down the willow.

You may be asking why. To be frank I can’t remember why I started messing with the tree. Part of the reason was the cracks I started seeing in my backyard patio.

I had never had a problem with my trees before, but it has been 20 years since I planted the tree so I thought that it was time to cut it done. I grabbed one of those saws like they give you when you go out to cut down your Christmas tree from a field where they were grown. It worked really well on a fir tree or whatever Christmas trees are made of, but it has met its match with a weeping willow.

I’m not sure where I got that saw. It works fine on fir trees or other trees that have soft pulp but that willow did not have soft pulp.

I had cut down a lot of the branches by the time Reed and Austin had gotten back home from school, but they really wanted to help so they cut down some more branches.

Trouble was that’s all they did, cut down just a few branches. Then something more important came up and off they went. I didn’t mind as I like to do a lot of work around the house. It keeps me going and feels good to be sore. So we didn’t

get all the main branches off and the cut ones just laid there awaiting a trip to see Candy out at the landfill.

Of course when my Angel asked why I didn’t finish the job, I told her I was awaiting the disintegration of the leaves so the branches would be easier to throw into a pickup.

Well, today was the day. Finally the tree is gone and my office is like an oven. I wanted to plant a couple more trees in my back yard.

Trees that paid me back with fruit and wouldn’t send roots to break my patio. I actually called and paid for a tree guy to come out and help me decide. He told me that we could grow good oranges around here if we treated them nice.

Ever since my mom passed and my no-good brother cut down her orange tree I haven’t had a real juicy orange. So an orange was the first choice. I know that we can grow lemons because I know a guy that raises them out on River Road.

He sells to Sunkist and if they are good enough for Sunkist they are good enough for me. I bet I could grow a lemon tree and get some more fruit. Shoot! I might even plant a lime tree too.

But first I had to get rid of the remains of that willow and get the stump ground up. I think it’s funny that you have to grind the stumps. Our town contractor Matt Gourley told me that one time. I almost didn’t believe him at first. I had never cut down a serious tree before.

Well, now I know a lot about cutting down a tree and a little about root travel.

You know what the planting of a tree is? It is an act of faith. Yes, faith in the way you did it and faith that Our Father will cause some fruit to come in the future.

When I think back about that tree I feel kind of bad. Almost 20 years and all I had to do was water it. It’s sort of like Our God. He puts you her for who knows how long and then, one day, when you are least expecting it He takes you home.

I can tell you right now with no hesitation that I am never going to cut down another tree. Perhaps I’ll be here to see fruit grow on my new trees. I know my mom would feel good about that.

Go plant a tree. It’s good for the world.

God Bless.

More about the past, present and future

O

ld-news: I tell you folks I never thought I would tire about our city’s history and theme for a conversation.

I find that California has a good deal of the same thing started with a mural and what it represents. The researching about murals and in Salinas the Mural Chamacos family and workers opens on Friday. Art and science blend together the impact on agriculture and now pesticides. Odd we also have several murals too found at Mee Memorial Clinic all about family, farming, markets and workers, etc., hand-painted by Daryl Day. New-news: Of course there is our very new mural on First Street depicting King City years past and we hope will encourage the train eventually to stop there. Look at the Huarache King restaurant, there is a wall so ready for a mural painting. Could someone of those talents found at Sol Treasures would want to give it try?

New-news: There must be a time where everyone looks around and marvels with what has been here for years. Historic buildings are now getting a chance at new life and written about in the Business Journal of the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce. Beautiful but vacant happens and improvements are met with excitement and my hope will continue.

New-news: In attending the So Mo Co Republican Women Federated Luncheon to meet the candidates hoping for various offices and the election is so very near. Mark Meuser was there to greet us and explaining what he wants is the Secretary of State job. Also ready to share his goal with us is Neil Kitchens, and his hope is to be elected to Assembly District 30. Often you will hear others that come to the luncheon and explain what they see California needs. However, I find all are unhappy about the gas tax that had not been voted on, yet all want it overturned. Not able to attend but expected was Rob Poythress, who serves as Madera County supervisor. However, his rep spoke as his campaign manager, Mathew Dobler. The room was filled with hopefuls as well as our own Mayor LeBarre and Councilwoman Darlene Acosta. They too happen to be up for re-election.

New-news: In fact both will attend the next Republican luncheon. I can listen to how they feel about the past four years and if improved under their leadership for our city. Here I find a sad note about both of our council members as I cannot vote for either of them. No? Yes because neither are in my district. We now have five districts when once just vote worked for me. Others found breaking it down into districts making it possible others will be voted to serve.

New-news: Would we have even heard of Sun Street Centers before it came here?

Now it’s not only opened, but welcomed and I find it is needed. The crowd attending were mixed and from everyone you knew or those professionals you may have never seen before.

There was so much excitement and one was Guillermo Rodriguez, the program director of recovery services and ready to get busy.

Everyone was thrilled and ready to help those in need of their services.

New-news: Now since we are all against taxes could there be one needed and that the voters will accept? Would those on our city council convince you they are in favor of a sales tax increase too for King City? It has been tough getting along with the lowest and current sales tax of South County, except for Gonzales. Surely, you see where our dollars have been spent. Voting for Measure K increases the sales tax to 1 percent that may raise $800,000 annually. The city’s expense fund for public safety and repair streets and other services would improve the lifesaving overall and financial solvency. Measure L would have a expiration time after 10 years, then it would drop the tax if adapted.

New-news: Bottom line, the King City voters need to vote Yes on Measure K and L on Nov. 6. The sale tax increase would seem to be fair and shared by everyone that shops.

Think how very different as this tax would do what was promised. Here, folks, is an opportunity to help your City of King.

Karina Aguirre, a senior at King City High School, is the recipient of the Rising Star Award. Aguirre is an accomplished scholar athlete at King City High School who has the respect of her classmates. You can often find her on the golf course persistently working to

perfect her game. She puts that same effort in her academics, which has landed her at the top of her class.

Aguirre’s future is bright, and she is a young woman that will be the catalyst of a great deal of positive change in the community.

For this reason, the committee selected Aguirre to receive the Rising Star Award.

The Chamber accepted nominations for the awards from members of the community and selected this year’s honorees from several nominees. Winners will be recognized at the El Grito Celebration.

El Grito festivities kick off with a parade at 11 a.m. on Broadway Street, with Los Reyes de la Banda leading the procession to the fairgrounds on Division Street. The fiesta continues on the Steinbeck Stage with the Banda, followed by Padre Lucas leading the El Grito Shout at 1:30 p.m. Comedians will perform at 2:30 p.m., followed by Banda from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

The King City Knights of Columbus will host a rib barbecue fundraiser for St. John’s at the Pavilion event. Over 40 flea market booths, 17 food and produce vendors and youth activity booths will add to the fiesta.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE Eleanor Dye-Schoon

Wesley Craig and Deborah Anne Dye cordially invite friends and acquaintances of Eleanor DyeSchoon to observe her Celebration of Life on September 17, 2018. At 11am an interment is scheduled at the King City Cemetary. Following the interment, we will reconvene for a reception at 12 noon at the San Lorenzo County Park (De Anza area). A barbecue luncheon provided by the Young Farmers will be served at 1pm.

Eleanor was an avid fan of the San Franciso Giants. With that in mind, we’d suggest casual baseball attire throughout the festivities.

Of course, team(s) of your choice to represent, with the exception of the Dodgers (just kidding).

Alta “Jean” Campbell

Alta “Jean” Campbell of Visalia, California and formerly of King City, California was called to her heavenly family on Monday, August 20, 2018. She was four months shy of her 98th birthday.

Jean was the eldest child born to Alma and Leo Dunbar, Sr. on December 7, 1920 in Montrose, Colorado. She attended grade school in Montrose and then the family moved to Boulder City, Nevada in 1930 where her father was involved in the construction of The Hoover Dam. Jean attended high school in Las Vegas, Nevada and after graduating attended Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado where she studied English and Music. During that time she met the love of her life Bill Campbell. They married after Bill completed his naval service during WWII. After Jean graduated college they moved to San Francisco, California where Bill attended the San Francisco School of Mortuary Science. During that time their first son, Greg, was born. Upon completion they moved to King City, California to attend a one year internship with the Ree C. Grimm Funeral Home. It was at this time that their second son, Steve, was born.

Upon completion of his internship Jean and the family moved to Altadena, California where Sandy was born. During this time Jean was a loving wife, mother and homemaker. She was prolific as a pianist and also had a great passion for the organ as well. In 1958 she and the family moved back to King City so that Bill could work at the Ree C. Grimm Funeral Home. It was then that she began her years as a piano teacher and cultivated her love for the game of golf where she actually accomplished a “hole in one!” She also was deeply committed to playing the organ every Sunday at her local church. Upon Bill’s death in 1980 she became the secretary for the King City Cemetery District a job that she would maintain for 20 years. Jean continued to teach piano, play golf, and play the organ at church well into her late 80’s. She moved to Visalia in the early 2000’s to be closer to her family.

Jean loved her family and will be deeply missed by all. She is survived by her three children, Greg, Steve (Anna), Sandy (James) Hannon, nine grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, one greatgreat grandchild, as well as her sister Lola Beardall and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by Bill, her loving husband, her parents Alma and Leo Dunbar, Sr. and her brother Leo Dunbar, Jr. A memorial at the King City Cemetery will be announced at a later date.

Some or all of the proposed cuts may be necessary if state-operating SB 1 transportation dollars discontinue as a result of voter approval of Proposition 6 on Nov. 6. Fare increases are also proposed as part of the reduction plan.

If Prop 6 is approved by voters, service reductions and fare increases would go into effect Dec. 15, pending authorization of the MST Board of Directors at its Dec. 10 meeting.

In South County, a public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. at the Greenfield Civic Center, 599 El Camino Real, in Greenfield. Other public hearings will be held in Seaside on Sept. 17, Salinas on Sept. 18 and Monterey on Oct. 8.

Anyone who wishes to comment but is unable to attend the public hearings may submit verbal comments by calling toll free

1-888-678-2871.

Written comments may be submitted to: MST Board of Directors, 19 Upper Ragsdale Drive, Suite 200, Monterey, CA 93940; fax to 831-899-3954 or email mst@mst.org.

The deadline for submission of written comments is Friday, Oct. 5, at 10 a.m.

The proposed Emergency Service Reduction Plan may affect the following lines: JAZZ A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 27, 28, 29, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 56, MST On Call Marina and MST On Call South County.

Additionally, the proposed fare change would increase the one-way fare for local, primary and regional routes by 50 cents each. Other fare media (day passes, monthly passes, etc.) would have similar price increases.

Racism is one of the strongest temptations we experience as human beings. The Bible reveals its power over us throughout history. Another word for it is tribalism. We see it in the conflict between the two sons of Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Esau, as well as the 12 tribes of Jacob’s sons, and writ large in the bloodshed over the Promised Land over the centuries. Even Jesus was tempted not to extend his love to a gentile woman in need, but her faith restored his own faithfulness to God’s self-giving love on the cross. (Mark 7:24-30).

bicycle and was confronted by police.

He was pushed off his bicycle and then fled on foot westbound on Broadway Street.

As he was fleeing the area, Aceves began pulling money out of his pockets and throwing it in the air. Police said the cash was recovered by officers.

After a short foot pursuit and a struggle, Aceves was taken into custody in the 900 block of Broadway Street. During the booking process, he

also was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and a syringe.

Aceves was taken to Monterey County Jail on charges for armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest by force, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Anyone with further information regarding this case is encouraged to contact Det. Joshue Partida of the Major Crimes Unit at 831-386-5991.

Settlement reached with Goop over unsubstantiated marketing claims CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE MONTEREY COUNTY — Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, as a member of the California Food, Drug and Medical Device Task Force that also includes Alameda, Marin, Napa, Orange, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Solano and Sonoma counties, announced Sept. 6 a settlement in a consumer protection action against Goop Inc.,

which sells a variety of items on its website, including vitamins and dietary supplements.

The action was filed in Napa County Superior Court. The complaint alleges that Goop made unsubstantiated representations regarding the effects or attributes of three products — the Jade Egg, Rose Quartz Egg and Inner Judge Flower Essence Blend — that were not supported by competent and reliable sci-

entific evidence.

Goop advertised that the Jade and Rose Quartz eggs could balance hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent uterine prolapse and increase bladder control as well as advertised that the Inner Judge Flower Essence Blend could help prevent depression. Goop was unable to produce reliable scientific evidence for these claims.

Under the terms of the stip-

ulated judgment, Goop agreed to pay $145,000 in civil penalties, an amount that corresponds to the relatively low number of these products sold in California, and is enjoined from making any claims regarding the efficacy or effects of any of its products without possessing reliable scientific evidences that substantiates its claims, and from manufacturing or selling any misbranded, unapproved or falsely

advertised medical devices.

District Attorney Dean D. Flippo said, “My foremost concern is the health and safety of the citizens of Monterey County, especially those who are vulnerable due to the very ailments these products claim to help.

This is just one of the many cases my office has recently settled in the dietary supplement and medical device arena in what we consider an ongoing campaign

to hold companies that mislead Monterey consumers accountable. California consumers are entitled to protection from false, unsubstantiated and potentially harmful advertising, and this lawsuit and settlement promotes that objective.”

Goop has offered to refund the full purchase price to any consumer who purchased the items between Jan. 12, 2017, and Aug. 31, 2017.

EDUCATION

Congressman Panetta announces federal grant for Central Coast college students CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE CENTRAL COAST — Congressman Jimmy Panetta (CA-20) announced last week that the University Corporation at Monterey Bay received a federal grant totaling nearly $5 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The award will support high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), Hartnell College, California State University Dominguez Hills and El Camino College.

“By expanding access to opportunities in higher education, CSUMB and Hartnell can advance their goals of educating a diverse workforce of future computer scientists who will contribute to our communities along the Central Coast,” Panetta said.

This award will fund 240 scholarships for students who are pursuing associate’s and

bachelor’s degrees in computer science. This project’s objective is to replicate a cohort-based pathway model developed by California State University Monterey Bay and Hartnell College within California State University Dominguez Hills and El Camino College, and to study both implementations to advance understanding of the elements of the cohort model that lead to student success.

This project will study the impact of cohort supports, such as student learning communities and just-in-time academic support, on retention and transfer rates, bachelor’s degree attainment and employment success in computer science.

In particular, this study will focus on first-generation, low-income and underrepresented students. It will generate knowledge about best practices for the design, structure and implementation of these cohort programs.

Specifically, the project will study the impact of cohort values, such as identity, habits and interrelationships on student success.

and understanding of different art forms. The events also provide an opportunity for artists and art lovers to build collaborations through conversation.

New workers’ compensation program announced for California’s cannabis industry CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE CALIFORNIA — Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones has announced a new workers’ compensation insurance program for California’s cannabis industry. The program was created by Atlas General Insurance Services to serve businesses and workers in the cannabis industry.

“Cannabis businesses should have insurance coverage available to them just like any other California business,” Jones said. “As Insurance Commissioner, my mission is insurance protection for all Californians, which includes insurance for California’s legalized cannabis businesses and its workers. This new program from Atlas is a crucial step in the right direction for this evolving industry. I encourage more insurance companies to offer cannabis business insurance products with the department to meet the needs of this emerging market.”

This program can accommodate workers’ compensation risks involved in all aspects of the cannabis industry, including growers, extractors, analytical labs, medicine manufacturers, food and beverage products manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and distribution, transportation and dispensaries.

Atlas provides all of the distribution and underwriting as well as the carrier backroom functions on behalf of Accredited Surety and Casualty. The program will be rolled out to over 1,700 Atlas appointed agents in California and another 4,000 agents in the other states with legal cannabis operations.

“Atlas has been studying the cannabis industry well before it became legalized in California,” said Bill Trzos, CEO of Atlas General Insurance Services. “Through our research we recognized the opportunity to be proactive in entering the cannabis market and are excited to be one of a few work comp platforms in the state.”

Commissioner Jones launched in California an initiative last year to encourage admitted commercial insurance companies to write insurance to fill coverage gaps for the cannabis industry.

As a result of Jones’ initiative, in California the first filing and approval of an admitted commercial insurer offering insurance for the

cannabis industry was announced in November 2017, the first surety bond program for the industry was announced in February 2018, the first coverage for commercial landlords for the industry was announced in May 2018, the first standardized cannabis policy forms and program filed by the American Association of Insurance Services was approved in June 2018, and earlier this month three more insurance carriers were approved by Jones to offer surety bond coverage for the cannabis industry in California.

Jones has convened meetings between commercial insurance company executives and cannabis business owners to educate the insurance industry about the sophistication, professionalism and risk management of the cannabis industry. Jones has also organized tours for insurance executives at cannabis businesses.

In October of last year, Jones held a first-inthe-nation public hearing to identify insurance gaps faced by the cannabis industry. Cannabis businesses and insurance industry representatives testified about the limited availability of insurance for cannabis businesses. The hearing revealed that while there is insurance available from surplus lines insurers, insurance gaps in coverage remain, and, until the approval announced last November, no admitted insurance carriers were offering insurance products to cannabis businesses. Jones also announced that he has directed Department staff to devote the resources necessary to timely review the cannabis product and rate filings.

Earlier this month, Jones was appointed chair of the newly established National Association of Insurance Commissioners Cannabis Insurance Working Group. In May, he hosted a webinar titled “Weeding through the Unique Insurance Needs of the Cannabis Industry” with the NAIC Center for Insurance Policy and Research.

In April, Jones renewed his call for insurers to offer insurance products for California’s legalized cannabis industry in the wake of published reports that President Trump has overruled Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ policy on federal law enforcement against state legalized cannabis. Jones sent a formal letter to California insurers encouraging them to fill insurance gaps for California’s cannabis businesses.

Assemblymember Caballero talks state budget, gas tax

BY SAMANTHA BENGTSON KING CITY RUSTLER GONZALES — Assemblymember Anna Caballero visited the City of Gonzales to speak about her time in the Senate, the budget outlook and more Sept. 4 during the City Council meeting.

“We worked really hard to make sure the budget really reflects the values of the state,” Caballero said. “The two areas that we increased spending in had to do with education and in health care.”

According to Caballero, the 2018-19 budget is the largest in the state history at $201 billion.

She said the Assembly wanted to be prepared in case another recession hit the United States and to make sure there were resources for health care, education and other services.

“We’re moving to have enough money to have a moderate recession to be able to pay all of the bills and cover all of the expenses,” Caballero said. “We’re in really good shape and we took a conservative approach to spending so that we have that reserve ready to go.”

Caballero also spoke about the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which helps to improve the condition of roads around the state.

Monterey County is anticipated to receive $30 million each year, with the City of Gonzales receiving about $350,000 on an annual basis to upgrade its streets and make sure bridges are safe.

“It’s a lot of money,” Caballero said. “It’s really important that that money be used immediately to start making road repairs.”

Due to Proposition 6’s placement on the November ballot, Caballero said it was important for voters to see funds for road repairs were in use and put to good use.

Samantha Bengtson/King City Rustler

Assemblymember Anna Caballero speaks during the Gonzales City Council meeting Sept. 4.

“In June a ballot measure passed that guarantees that this money cannot be used for anything other than road repairs,” Caballero said.

“It’s already committed, it’s there and ready to roll. It’s estimated that it will create more than 600,000 jobs in the state of California.”

Caballero held town hall meetings early in her candidacy to learn what voters concerns

were. She discovered a major concern was rural California falling behind, specifically concerning the price of housing going through the roof.

The pressure is increasing because of Silicon Valley employees moving down into areas where the population can’t afford the prices and are worried about their children being able

to get a good job and stay in the community.

“I’ve really focused on issues that will help us grow,” Caballero said. “The economy and in particular ag tech and the connection between getting the education, certificates and then being able to work in agriculture.”

Caballero is running for State Senator District 12 alongside Rob Poythress.

“We absolutely need that YMCA, if we want to come down here,” Scherer said. “I want to help your community and the animal community and this will make a tremendous difference.”

According to Scherer, about 60 percent of the animals spayed and neutered were from Soledad, with a few from Gonzales and King City.

Scherer said King City was a little too far for her to go and bring her veterinary down.

“I see the tremendous issues that we have with overpopulation of do-

GONZALES SHUTS OUT SOLEDAD, 28-0

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS

GONZALES — The Gonzales High Spartans ran a potent offense and aggressive defense to shutout the host Soledad Aztec football team 28-0 on Friday at Gene Martin Stadium. Gonzales used their multi-offense to roll up 341 yards of yards against Soledad.

“Our goal coming into the game was to focus on Soledad’s quarterback and their best receiver on defense to force someone else to make plays,” said Soledad head coach Arthur Berlanga. “The offense kept their defensive unit on the field.

Soledad is strong defensively but we did a great job against them.”

The Spartans put up the first points of the game at the 7:11 mark

GREENFIELD — Although the Mission College Prep football team will play eight-man football, the majority of this season they looked like a pretty good 11-man football team on Friday in San Luis Obispo. The Royals beat Greenfield 31-7 to improve to 3-0, and the Bruins fell to 0-3 in nonleague play.

The Royals scored a 90-yard touchdown on the first play of the game, but the score was called back on a penalty. Mission College Prep got on the scoreboard with a touchdown pass from quarterback Mark Rodriguez to Carlson Brown. The PAT failed but the Royals had a 6-0 lead.

In their second touchdown of the game Brian Colwell scored on a 15-yard run and the extra point made the score 13-0. Braydan Farr scored a 24-yard touchdown run and the Royals took a 19-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

of the first quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run by Payton Flores and the point after attempt by Franky Cisneros. The Gonzales defense allowed a few running plays for good yardage by the Aztecs but the drive stalled forcing Soledad to punt.

Gonzales then used the running of Flores to move up the field and into the red zone. Flores inched closer and closer to the end zone but was stopped by the Aztecs short of the goal line.

Berlanga was sending in Cervantes to attempt a field goal, but decided to go for a score on fourth and short.

“My coaching staff encouraged to keep our offense on the field because if they stopped us they would have the ball deep on their side of the field,” said Berlanga.

KING CITY — Five turnovers contributed to a 55-13 loss on Friday at War Memorial Stadium by the King City Mustang varsity football team.

The visiting Carmel Padres improved to 3-0 with the win in the non-league contest and the host Mustangs fell to 1-1.

“When you play against Carmel you have to pick your poison,” said King City head coach Mac Villanueva. “They (Padres), are probably the best team we will play this season and you have to try to stop their running game or their passing game because it is difficult to try to stop both parts of the game.

“We shot ourselves in the foot by turning the ball over when we were moving the ball at will against them.”

Lady Mustangs win non-league games against Gonzales

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS KING CITY — A rivalry tradition continued for the King City Lady Mustang volleyball team as they played Gonzales High on Sept. 4 in King City. As the two South County teams are no longer in the same league, the two schools wanted to continue to play each other.

“Since Gonzales is not in our league this year I still wanted to get the King City versus Gonzales match in this year,” said Lady Mustang head coach Christine Luna. “It was a little different playing them during pre-season, but the energy and excitement to keep the rivalry

going was still there. We swept Gonzales 2510, 25-15 and 25-4.”

Grace Shepherd had 20 kills, three digs and five aces. Nancy Andrade added three kills, four digs and six aces and Alexia Head added four digs and one ace while Jalen Mendez, Vanessa Wheeler and Jasmine Guillen all added two kills apiece.

“In the third game Elena Vasquez went on a serving run,” said Coach Luna. “She had 17 serves in a row with five of them aces and we scored 16 points while she served. She did an awesome job on the serving line. On Thursday (Sept. 6) we played Everett Alvarez and went four games for the first time this season. We

won 25-11, 25-17, 22-25 and 25-21. It was a fun match to watch and our crowd had a lot of energy behind us. With losing the third game of the match the girls had to play through a little adversity but ended up coming out victorious.”

Shepherd led the way with 27 kills, three aces and added 13 digs. Andrade had 11 kills, 19 digs and served an ace, and Ivy Hearne had nine digs, five kills. Libero Alexia Head had 10 digs and an ace.

“We now open league play at home against Carmel on Tuesday and are away on Thursday at Notre Dame,” said Coach Luna.

Two days later Gonzales lost to the Seaside Spartans at home.

“We have been using our busy preseason to get out young lineup the game minutes to build our mental and physical toughness,” said Gonzales head coach Desiree Baltazar. “Our leaders this season are Genesis Guerrero as a utility player, Madisyn Schweitzer at middle blocker, and Jackie Leon at setter.”

Gonzales played at Soledad last night and will play in Watsonville against the Pajaro Valley Grizzlies tomorrow night.

MIND, BODY & SPIRIT Nationwide technology tour stops in Salinas CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE

SALINAS — Medtronic, a leading healthcare technology manufacturer, has included Salinas as a stop in the company’s nationwide tour.

This community education event takes place Wednesday, Sept. 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the SVMC Diabetes and Endocrine Center, 355 Abbott St., in Salinas. To register, call 530-4249234. Light appetizers will be served.

Medtronic produces advanced equipment that changes the way people with diabetes manage their disease. The company chose Salinas Valley Medical Clinic Diabetes and Endocrine Center as a stop on the September schedule because of the Center’s many accomplishments and commitment to helping people with the disease live longer, better lives.

This chronic disease is considered the No. 1 major public health concern in the United States and more than half of the population in Monterey County has diabetes or pre-diabetes. The tour includes demonstrations and a panel discussion

to engage the public in learning more about ways pump therapy can give people with diabetes an edge in living life to the fullest.

“Advanced technology is making the management of Type 1 diabetes easier,” says Dana Armstrong, RD, CDE, director of diabetes services at Salinas Valley Medical Clinic. “A person no longer has to inject themselves with insulin.

Medtronic has developed an insulin pump which automatically provides insulin when the body requires it. It’s revolutionary.”

The public will see how the FDA approved MiniMed 670G insulin pump works. It’s referred by some as an “artificial pancreas.” This device is roughly the size of a credit card that a person wears outside the body and continuously monitors glucose levels and delivers insulin 24 hours a day based on the personal needs of the patient. The Diabetes and Endocrine Center received pre-release status for the MiniMed 670G in 2017 due to its expertise in the excellent treatment of diabetes.

“This device is changing people’s lives,” says Nicolas Kissell, MD, medical director at SVMC

Diabetes and Endocrine Center. “We encourage the public to attend this educational and free event. It can make a difference in their lives or in the lives of their loved ones.”

“Salinas is amazing and the exact population we need to reach and educate about diabetes and advanced technology,” says Errin Dalzell, senior manager for Medtronic. “The goal of our Medtronic national tour is to show the public how advanced technology is making the management of diabetes easier. We want everyone diagnosed with this disease to know what their options are and where they can receive these highly advanced devices.”

The Guardian Connect System will also be featured at the SVMC Diabetes and Endocrine Center. This is the first smart standalone Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM) to help people with diabetes stay ahead of high and low glucose events. The Guardian Connect System is for people who need multiple injections on a daily basis and allows them to better manage their diabetes.

At risk for hepatitis? Medicare can help __________________________________________________________________

id you know viral hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver, causes more than 1 million deaths per year worldwide? That’s about the same number of deaths caused by tuberculosis and HIV combined. Fortunately, Medicare can help protect you from Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, the most common types of viral hepatitis in the United States.

Hepatitis is contagious. The Hepatitis B virus, for example, spreads through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. People can also get infected by coming in contact with a contaminated object, where the virus can live for up to seven days.

Hepatitis B can range from being a mild illness, lasting a few weeks

“We called a Philadelphia special with our quarterback getting the ball to Payton Flores at halfback and then running to the end zone. Raul Morales caught the five-yard pass to put us up 13-0 and then Franky Cisneros added the PAT. Just a good throw

by Payton and great catch by Raul,” Berlanga added.

The next possession for Soledad produced limited yards and the Aztecs were forced to punt. Gonzales quickly went to the air, calling for a pass play on first down.

Morales threw the football only where receiver Dominic Emery could catch it and the speedster out jumped two Soledad defenders and scored on a 63-yard reception. The third PAT by Cisneros gave the Spartans a three-touchdown lead at 21-0 with 10:13 left to play in the first half.

With Gonzales playing good defense the offense got the ball back with less than six minutes on the clock. Morales fired a pass up field but the ball was picked off by Miguel Vargas of Soledad to give the ball to the Aztecs.

Gonzales completed the game scoring in the third quarter with another long drive that ended with a four-yard touchdown run by Flores.

The fourth PAT by Cisneros made the score 28-0. Gonzales celebrated after the victory by hoisting the Heritage Bowl Trophy.

Payton Flores led the Spartans with 176 yards on 29 carries and scored two touchdowns. Jayson Flores rushed for 55 yards on eight carries. Morales had a seven of 12 passing performance for

(acute), to a serious long-term illness (chronic) that can lead to liver disease or liver cancer.

Medicare Part B covers Hepatitis B shots, which usually are given as a series of three shots over a six-month period. You need all three shots for complete protection.

Medicare covers these shots for people at medium or high risk for Hepatitis B. Risk factors include hemophilia, end-stage renal disease, diabetes, if you live with someone who has Hepatitis B, or if you’re a health care worker and have frequent contact with blood or body fluids. Check with your doctor to see if you’re at medium or high risk for Hepatitis B. You pay nothing for Hepatitis B shots if your doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts Medicare payment.

Medicare also covers a onetime Hepatitis C screening test if

101 yards, and two touchdowns. Morales did throw two interceptions in the game.

Dominic Emery finished with two receptions for 65 yards and one touchdown, Cisneros caught two passes for 17 yards, Jayson Flores has two receptions for 14 yards, and Morales made the most of his one catch by scoring a touchdown.

Marcus Morales led Soledad in receiving with 72 yards with receptions and quarterback Gabriel Florez threw for 144 yards. Andru Holguin led the Aztecs in rushing with 68 yards on 11 carries. Victor Ocampo led the Aztecs in tackles with 12.

Gonzales improved to 3-0 in non-league play and Soledad is 0-3. The Spartans will have a bye week before starting the league season at home on Sept. 21 against the Soquel Knights. Soledad will host Righetti High School of Santa Maria on Friday night.

“We need to keep working on offense to get some points on the board,” said Soledad head coach Eric Rodriguez.

“We have another tough game coming up against Righetti High School out of Santa Maria.”

Coach Berlanga praised the play of his team in the Soledad game and is looking forward to the bye week.

“All of our players were ready against Soledad,” said Berlanga. “Nael Vasquez played really well at linebacker and Michael Duby led the team with nine tackles and Pablo Villasenor had six, including three tackles for losses. The offense did everything we needed them to do. With the bye week we will get healthier to be ready for league.”

your primary care doctor or practitioner orders it and you meet one of these conditions: • You’re at high risk because you have a current or past history of illicit injection-drug use; • You had a blood transfusion before 1992; • You were born between 1945 and 1965.

Medicare also covers yearly repeat screenings for certain people at high risk.

Medicare will only cover Hepatitis C screening tests if they’re ordered by a primary-care doctor or other primary-care provider. You pay nothing for the screening test if the doctor or other qualified health care provider accepts Medicare payment.

Hepatitis shots and screening are among the many preventive-health services that Medicare helps pay for.

These screenings and tests help detect preventable and chronic diseases

In the JV game, Gonzales defeated Soledad, 28-14, to improve to 3-0 in non-league play.

“Our defense was great and held Soledad to 14 points,” said Gonzales head JV coach Ruben Alvarado. “Offensively our line did a great job holding up kids twice their size. We had some awesome running by Joseph Bermudez

early, in their most treatable stages.

Here are some other preventive-health measures Medicare covers: • Alcohol misuse screening and counseling; • Bone mass measurement (This test checks whether you’re at risk for broken bones); • Breast cancer screening (mammograms): • Cardiovascular disease screening (This includes blood tests that help detect conditions that may lead to a heart attack or stroke); • Cervical and vaginal cancer screening; • Colorectal cancer screening (This helps find precancerous growths or cancer early, when treatment is most effective); • Diabetes screening and diabetes self-management training; • Flu and pneumococcal shots; • Glaucoma tests;

and Jose Leon. Jacob had a good game passing the ball as well. Overall this was a team effort and our kids won all phases of the game.”

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS KING CITY — Ivan Almanza of the King City Boxing Club won by unanimous decision against a boxer from Idaho at Saturday’s Mexican Independence Day Boxing Show in Fresno. Almanza represented his club and King City in the 60-pound weight class and fought his 13th fight.

“Ivan had prepared himself really hard for this fight,” said King City Boxing Club Coach Rodolfo Tapia. “The kid from Idaho was good and has fought 11 fights but Ivan fought well to get the unanimous Contributed Photo decision. I took Miguel Hernandez and Ivan Almanza of the King City Boxing Club has his Andy Lopez from San Ardo but they were hand raised after winning his match in Fresno. unable to fight when the guys they were be fighting for belts at the Independence Day supposed to fight did not show up.”

Receiver Rashaan Ward caught a pass from Padre quarterback Kai Lee to build the lead to 21-0. King City scored their first points after the Ward touchdown as Mustang quarterback Dylan Oliveros run for a 61-yard score and Jonah Mendez added the point after.

The Padres then went on a 28-0 scoring run to take a 49-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

King City scored their second touchdown of the game on a five-yard run by Aaron Leonard to make the score 49-13 after a missed PAT. The Padres completed the scoring with a late touchdown for the final 55-13 score.

Alex Villasenor led the Mustangs in rushing with 102 yards on 17 carries and Dylan Oliveros threw for 92-yards with a seven of 14 passing performance while rushing for 77 yards.

This Friday the Mustangs will host the 1-1 Christopher High School Mustangs. ChristoCondors. Greenfield will open league play Sept. 21 when they host the Harbor Pirates.

The Greenfield JVs improved to 2-1 in non-league play with a 19-6 win over the Mission College Prep Royals.

pher will be playing Gabilan League of the Pacific Coast Athletic League. The Mustangs started the non-league schedule with a 17-14 win over Monte Vista Christian and a 33-31 setback against the Live Oak Acorns.

“What I know about Christopher is that they are big and athletic,” said Coach Villanueva.

“Tough games like the one with Carmel and this one with Christopher will show us what we can do to get better for our league season. As long as we show up and play hard we have a chance to win but our main goal is to improve and stay healthy for the start of the Cypress League opener with Santa Cruz. That will also be the Hall of Fame game.”

In the junior varsity game Carmel defeated the Broncos 20-7. King City’s lone score was a touchdown pass from Mitch Slama to Manuel Deniz.

“We started slow and were down 14 in the first quarter,” said Bronco head coach Evan Petrovic. “Our team didn’t give up, and fought until the very last play of the game. We have another home game this week and we’re looking forward to get better all week at practice for it.”

“It took our team a while to going,” said Greenfield head JV coach Adrian Trujillo. “The defense kept us in the game with four goal line stands. Julian Untalon played a great game on defense. On offense Ivan Torres

had a good game scoring on two long touchdown runs and thanks to the blocking up front from the offensive line. The third touchdown was scored by Leo Hernandez with a one-yard quarterback sneak.”
