Tour de Dance to raise funds for South County’s first original ballet

BY RYAN CRONK KING CITY RUSTLER

KING CITY — Monterey County Dance Foundation’s charitable event, Tour de Dance, this Saturday will raise funds for South County’s first original ballet production, “The Nightingale,” next year.

Tour de Dance will include a silent auction, wine tasting, raffle, food and live music, in addition to musical excerpts from “The Nightingale,” the first ballet written in the area.

The Sept. 8 event begins at 6:30 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m. at the Monterey County Dance Theatre, 332 Bassett St., in King City.

“The Nightingale,” based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, will feature an original ballet score composed by local music educator Steve Ettinger. The ballet will be choreographed by Artistic Director Janette Harkness and performed by more than 75 local dance students of Monterey County Dance Theatre.

Monterey County Pops orchestra will play the symphony when the ballet is presented for three shows in April 2019 at the Robert Stanton Theatre in King City.

“The ballet has been commissioned for Monterey County Dance Theatre, our students and our community,” Harkness said. “We are honored

HEALTH

at the trust Mr. Ettinger has given us to bring his music to life in dance. It is an artistic educational experience enriching not only the lives of our community, but the lives of the participants.”

For tickets to Tour de Dance, or to make a donation to the nonprofit dance foundation, contact Jan Harkness at 831-261-2981.

A text book for grief I

remember my daughter telling me that there are many things they don’t teach you in school.

She was referring to balancing a check book at the time and making a budget for life. True, they don’t teach you that. They also don’t give you a text book on how to handle a part of the human condition we all experience; grief. This is not my first Rodeo. I am middle-aged, I have lost plenty of people in my life. I should be pretty good at it by now; but nobody taught me the class, nobody had me write a dissertation on the subject. In short, I did not graduate from this topic in any shape or form. And every time I go through it, it’s a little bit different; but no less agonizing.

“Well, she had been ill for a very long time,” said someone. “Probably a bit of a relief that she’s no longer suffering.” I nearly choked. “She’s in a better place,” another helpful soul ventured. (How do they know?)

Some people say nothing — they don’t know what to say. And we all feel so inadequate at times like this; when we should be really adept at finding the right words, consoling the person, providing the necessary comfort.

I find myself doing strange things like cleaning. I’m always looking for something — that one special photo of her I can’t find, the

bracelet she gave me, the story I wrote about her. I don’t sleep much and my brain zips around on special alert in an obsessive way through my white nights. I can’t stop thinking about her. I wade through multitudes of photos trying to prepare for her Memorial, as if she’d care if it was totally perfect or not; but I want it to be. I’m constantly losing things. So far I have lost my driving license, my ear plugs and head phones — among other things.

Some I find again; some I locate in the most random of places, as if I sleep walk at night and move all of my possessions around just to drive myself mad. I am possessive about her memory in a quite bizarre way.

I suffer leg cramps and survivor’s guilt. I am a mess.

So while I am traveling through this strange journey located somewhere between dementia and hyperactivity, hoping that one day I will find my driving license and be able to calm down and sleep a little better like a normal human being; I thought it might be useful to contemplate the compilation of a text book for grief. It should be a living document since life and death are always subject to change and we must keep our tools sharpened for the next loss, which, let’s face it, is always just around the corner.

1. Please do ask the person how they are doing, whether via text, phone or email. But just do it. After all the hoorah has died down, the

flowers have wilted, the messages of sympathy stop and everyone moves on with their lives, that person is still back there in their own private pool of agony. Grief is a lonely place, don’t forget that. They need you after the party is over, as it were.

2. Send them over your memories of that person. Dig up the old photos and quirky times. Share the treasure with that person. They are so precious, when no more memories are going to be made. I remember, after my Mum died, a friend of mine wrote to me and told me that my Mum taught her how to swim. I had not known that; the information was precious.

3. Be kind to them. If you know them through friendship, family or business, know that the heart is tender thing and loss can take a while to process and grief to heal. They may not be on top of their game, they may be fractious, forgetful or downright inefficient. Watch them and help them to get back to where they were before, if possible. At least guide them towards a place where they are able to function better in the world that never stops.

4. Invite them to do something fun — something that will stop them dwelling on their loss and how an earth they are going to carry on without that person. Maybe take them out to lunch, to the beach to a movie. Something that will allow them to put their sadness aside for a

little while and do something ‘normal’. One of my friends took me out to lunch when my sister passed and then we went and bought some memorial items — a beautiful, fitting, wine glass, artwork, earrings … it was a fun and thoughtful idea I shall definitely pass along. Flowers die, my memorial beauties will not.

5. Help them to see down the road and to plan nice things. In the midst of planning my sister’s memorial service in England, my friends are planning other fun things to do together as well. We will be seeing old friends, going paddle boarding, singing songs and playing the piano, drinking and eating yummy things — in short, celebrating life in the way we know how; because this is all we have and our loved ones would not want us to waste any time getting on with our lives and being as happy as possible.

That much I know to be true.

6. Now is not the time to share how your grief was for you; you will have your time down the road.

This is their time. Let them be as self-indulgent about it as possible.

It’s all part of going through the torture in order to come out the other side.

So, the text book for grief has begun. Feel free to contact me and add to it, because, as I said, it is a living document and, it seems to me, we all need a bit of a reference guide to this universal subject.

Passion for procrastination

I

have finally figured out what I am really good at. You know, you try all your life to find your passion. All the sages of employment say, “If you find a job doing what you want, you’ll never work another day.” I guess the theory of that statement is if you get up at 4:30 a.m. and struggle out the door, fighting traffic, putting up with a boss you can’t stand but not getting paid enough to support your family, you won’t mind going to work.

Work is a four-letter word. But back to me. I truly have found my passion: procrastination.

I spent the last semester at school walking by chores I had to get done. I got pretty good at postponing. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it seems, I got out for the summer break. Now I can get all those jobs done around the house.

I don’t have any school work for a while. So, summer break is over I

went back to school last week. The chores? Yep! They are still there.

It doesn’t seem like I got anything done.

The hedge trimmer is still broke, but I’m going to get after it pretty soon. There is a weeping willow tree laying my back yard that needs to go to the landfill. I cut it down but haven’t found time to get it loaded on someone’s truck to haul away. There is another weeping willow that definitely needs a trimming. Both my wonderful sons tell me every week, “Hey dad, we’ll help you this weekend.” Then poof! Unfortunately, they have to go to Yuma or Chico, or to a concert or even to Monterey, where they do the foolish things we used to do before we got old.

I keep thinking that I have to find out what kept me from doing the things that a husband is supposed to get done. Then I decided it was too much trouble for me to waste time crying over spilled milk. That is above the standard procrastination again. That is su-

preme procrastination.

Yes, I’m still going to school.

I’m not like a lot of the young folks whose only mission in life is to get a college degree. I only started going to get a credential to teach.

Then it got to be so much fun I just kept going. Oh, yeah, I changed my major three times. When you do that you don’t just slide through in four years. There is also the little things like making some money so we won’t starve and trying to keep the outside of the house looking good. My Angel, she knows how to work. She is the single hardest working woman I have ever known and that includes my mom who worked hard all her life.

I have been told by my counselor that if I pass the three classes I’m taking now that I can walk across the podium and receive my diploma after this semester. However that might not be the last I see of a higher education. It might take four years to get a master’s degree, but I haven’t put the thought out of my head. I love that school

keeps me thinking and looking for answers. I have found that lately I have been forgetting things, little things. Like where are my keys?

(That’s the most common thing that happens.) I’m sure I inherited this problem from my mom who never failed to call me all my brother’s names before she remembered mine.

Anyway, I am going to keep going to school until I get that sheepskin diploma. It was hard to get the kids to get their degree if I didn’t have one so I have to suffer.

Nah, suffer isn’t the correct word.

I just won’t get all those critical chores done for another semester.

If you are looking for something to do check out Hartnell or CSUMB for classes that will make you brain bucket hum along. Unless you are smarter than I am, which covers a little over 95 percent of the population. I’ll keep you informed of my teachers and my struggle to make myself a better person. In that area I need all the help I can get.

God bless.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ____________________________________________________________ Street repairs needed Who do we contact to have some badly needed repairs on a street? Between Third Street and Vineyard Drive in Greenfield, there is a “speed bump” that stretches 3/4 of the way across the street. Our neighborhood has waited

several years for this to be fixed.

Now, right along side it and just as long, is a rectangular “pothole” almost equal to the length of the “speed bump.” At night, if you don’t know where these things are, you’re in trouble.

And, no matter how slowly you drive, your vehicle is paying for it.

Letters to the Editor & Guest Editorials Policy _____________________ South County Newspapers welcomes letters to the editor and guest editorials of local and general interest to our readers.

Letters must be 400 words or fewer, and guest editorials should be between 400 and 800 words.

All submissions must be typed and include the writer’s first and last name, home address and phone number for verification. No anonymous letters will be printed.

Submissions may be edited for length, clarity and libel. Send letters and guest editorials via email to Editor@SouthCountyNewspapers.com, or they can be mailed or dropped off to 522-B Broadway St., King City, CA 93930.

Can we at least put up a sign to alert drivers?

Could the “speed bump” be painted to warn people? Could the “pothole” be covered?

Isn’t this a matter of safety by not having the road repaired at all?

Labor Day sometimes brings true meaning

O

ld-news: Labor Day can mean vacation time or getting ready for fall.

I have told this story many times.

In fact nine times. This is how you will recognize the story about a little girl that happened to be born Oct. 1, Labor Day. I received an announcement and it read Vivien Marie born on 8:32 p.m., weighting 6 lbs and 18 in., is taking her first flight at 4 hours old. Pictured was this tiny bundle that seemed to be sleeping. The Cullen baby was the first child for Rob and Allie Cullen. Now you understand why I say the true meaning, and my way of explanation of Labor Day. News-news: As it happened, she was flown from off the top of the hospital to Stanford and there for two weeks. At home, Allie Cullen plans a sleep over on her 9th birthday. She has been nicknamed “A Hummingbird,” and pictured as why. She loves school, the swim team, the ballet and piano and helping 18-month-old little sister, Rose. High energy may have come starting out life at Stanford and her Dad had just begun serving our 2008 City Council.

New-news: Update now as it is re-election time for Mayor Mike LeBarre and City Councilmember Darlene Acosta, and to ask for your vote. Re-electing them would seem to be a given and a wise choice too. The mayor said, “Labor Day brings celebration, ingenuity, self determination and pursuit of the American dream of this great nation.”

Agreed. I am very pleased with all that are serving on our city council. Appearing at the Oct. 2 Southern Monterey County Republican Women Federated Luncheon, you may go where you will hear these two candidates and why they ask you for your vote. The City has worked hard and deserves to be where we are, much of the credit has to go to our City Manager Steve Adams. At last, anything controversial is now in the past, as we have had more than our share.

New-news: I ask when have you ever received a card from the U.S. Postal Service Office? Apply now? Now hiring. My oldest son Raymond has plans to leave the Folsom Post Office, retiring after 38 years delivering the mail. They will miss him; however, on Aug. 25 the new hiring system takes place. Speaking of new, I just met Carla on her first day at Yesy’s. Although our Rustler’s classified has jobs available, I never thought the Post Office or Wilbur Ellis Co. or an airline career would be found.

New-news: September is National Addiction and Recovery Month. The city council gave a special proclamation presentation and accepting was Bob Brunson for Sun Street Centers. Health and wellness is their goal and overcoming mental illness.

Look for the open house on Sept. 7 or South County Stomp on Nov. 10, which is a fundraiser in support of the facility. Or, for information go to the September Chamber Mixer on Sept. 11. That way you will find Sun Street gets all the attention it deserves.

New-news: Wait for it… Not held until August 2019, use of the airport for a half-mile shoot out speed car event and agreement by the city staff. An event with car racing to be held at our airport. To learn more, speak to one of our Airport Advisory Commissioners who can fill you in on more details. Sounds like it will be fun and exciting as well.

New-news: This past week I was able to have my eyes examined at Sani Eye Center and my feet trimmed at Clinic’s Podiatrist Dr. Roderick. Then I met Sallie Jordan, who has an office at the hospital. Referred to by Dr. Pinto and in need of a new blood meter, the time has become to be smart about my diabetes goals. To be in good health, and not too lazy by enjoying whatever suits my fancy, has caught up with me. There is work to be done and Sallie is right here to help.

However, never having to drive out of town is also very nice, since I am not driving that much and this is a big help. It is how I spent my Labor Day weekend.

ast month Gonzales High School student and Bezos Scholar Cindy Aguilar-Castaneda kicked off her participation in the Bezos Scholars leadership development program with an all-expenses-paid trip to the Aspen Ideas Festival.

At the Festival, Aguilar-Castaneda had the opportunity to meet with luminaries, including New York Times columnist David Brooks and Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani.

“We are excited and honored to have Cindy as part of our outstanding group of Bezos Scholars,” said Molly Pencke, Bezos Scholars program

manager of the Bezos Family Foundation. “Their conversations with each other and some of the world’s leading thinkers will help them envision new opportunities to engage and serve their communities.”

The Bezos Family Foundation launched the yearlong leadership development program in 2005, and

annually selects a group of exceptional rising high school seniors and their educators to participate.

After attending the Festival, Scholars return home to organize their own community change projects, known as Local Ideas Festivals (LIFs). Topics and themes for their LIFs are as diverse as the Scholars themselves and are

often at the intersection of Scholars’ passions and an existing community need.

Bezos Scholars are united by a shared passion for making a difference and a desire to lead change. Rich in diversity of experience, they seek new challenges and respond with creativity, courage and commitment.

$543,095 through the CDBG and a HOME grant totaling $382,425.

“I am excited to see these resources put to use to address the considerable housing challenges throughout the central coast of California,” Panetta said. “These investments will help provide our neighbors with job opportunities and

an affordable place to live.”

The Community Development Block Grant program provides annual grants to states and local units of government to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low-

and moderate-income persons.

The HOME Investments Partnership program helps to expand the supply of decent, affordable housing to low- and very low-income families by providing grants to states and local governments to fund housing programs that meet local needs and priorities.

Hartnell-CSUMB Teacher Pathway Program receives funding to support continued program growth CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE SALINAS — Hartnell College and California State University Monterey Bay’s (CSUMB) joint Teacher Pathway Program has received a $335,000 grant from the Claire Giannini Fund that will help ensure the program’s continued growth and success.

With the support of the Claire Giannini Fund, Hartnell College and CSUMB have built the Teacher Pathway Program with an eye toward sustainability; ensuring this project continues to prepare fully qualified elementary and special education teachers to all of Monterey County communities well into the future.

The first cohort of the program, which began fall of 2016 and is now entering its third year, achieved an 86 percent

graduation rate earning their Associates Degree for Transfer (AA-T) in two years, a much higher graduation rate than students enrolled in a traditional program. The first cohort of the program is now working to earn their bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies and teaching credential at CSUMB. “The Teacher Pathway Program is our collaborative ‘growour-own’ solution to addressing the regional teacher shortage,” said CSUMB College of Education Dean Jose Luis Alvarado. “The program has achieved incredible success, as evidenced by high retention rates and a high graduation rate at the AA level for the first cohort. Additionally, the structured pathway reduces the time-to-transfer, while developing a strong teacher workforce that taps into local talent to improve the col-

“Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.” (Song of Solomon 2:10). Scripture poetically compares God’s love to the joy of loved ones during their courtship, and to the commitments made to one another in marriage. God is the bridegroom and those who love God are the bride.

It’s not surprising this song would become part of biblical wisdom and revelation.

Love is not forced on anyone; it is always a decision in response to our hearts. If you feel God’s love, you have heard God’s invitation. You also know that God loves your neighbor, one who may never have heard those words. Imagine what it could mean when they hear and feel, perhaps for the first time, this song from you?

Bible study continues at St. Mark’s on Monday evenings, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

lege readiness of youth in our communities.”

This unique partnership, along with the streamlined program design, reduces the time it takes to transfer, thereby reducing costs to the participants. The continued success of Teacher Pathway Program has resulted in increased enrollment each year and expansion to new locations.

“Due to the success and popularity of this program, it has expanded into new locations and grown in numbers by 80 percent, from 28 students in cohort No. 1 to 38 students in cohort No. 2 in South Monterey County. The growth continues with 42 students in the third cohort in Salinas,” said Hartnell College Superintendent/President Dr. Willard Lewallen. “We are incredibly proud of this program and its positive impact on not only the students, but the community at-large.”

The Claire Giannini Fund, an independent foundation, has

provided seed funding for the Teacher Pathway. Trustee Betsy Buchalter Adler noted that the Fund, which will sunset at the end of 2020, views the Teacher Pathway as one of its best investments.

“Our founder dedicated the Fund to the education and welfare of young people 18 and under,” Adler said. “I am confident that she would be glad to know that her legacy has helped to educate the next generation of Monterey County’s students by helping Hartnell College and CSUMB to educate their teachers.”

Adler added that she is particularly impressed by the collaboration between CSUMB and Hartnell.

“These two institutions have worked together to use their resources productively, avoiding duplication and enhancing each other’s strengths,” she said. “I hope community colleges and universities elsewhere in California will adopt this model.”

to his escalating substance abuse and anger issues. He then returned to her home at about 8:30 a.m. on March 27, 2018, snuck inside while his mother and her boyfriend were upstairs and stole “Kato,” the family dog.

Kato was described as a protective dog who loved his family and had a particularly close bond with Sirwet.

There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle; it is presumed Kato went willingly with Sirwet.

Moments later, a witness heard what he described as a terrible screaming sound. He looked over his back fence and saw Sirwet pour two bottles of lighter fluid on Kato and set him

SOLEDAD — Monterey County District Attorney Dean D. Flippo announced Aug. 31 that Soledad resident Devonte Sirwet, 22, pleaded no contest to three felony charges: first-degree residential burglary, arson and felony animal abuse.

Both the arson and burglary charges are strike convictions under California’s Three Strikes law. Sirwet will receive six years and eight months in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 18.

In December 2017, Sirwet was kicked out of his mother’s home due

alight. Sirwet then fled to a waiting vehicle, leaving Kato to burn alive.

Soledad police officers arrived within moments. Kato suffered burns over 90 percent of his body but was still alive. Kato’s injuries were appalling; his collar had melted into his neck, his skin had been burned so deeply that bone and subcutaneous layers of tissue were exposed and his ears had partly disintegrated.

Soledad Police Department Humane Officer Cecilio Lozano transported Kato immediately to a local vet, who euthanized him in the parking lot to end his tremendous suffering.

The District Attorney’s Office would like to acknowledge Lozano, Officer Gustavo Gomez and Sgt. Lionel Munguia with the Soledad Police Department, Humane Officer Andriea Castellanos and Humane Investigations Supervisor Marty Opseth with the SPCA of Monterey County, Monterey County Sheriff’s Deputy Rodrigo Lopez, and District Attorney Investigator Peter Austen for their extraordinary efforts to achieve justice for Kato.

A statement from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) for Monterey County read: “The SPCA for Monterey County is thankful to the DA’s office and local

law enforcement for taking on this horrific case; we are also thankful to our Humane Officers for their diligence in providing the evidence to make this the only possible outcome.

While none of this can bring Kato back or erase what he suffered, at least we know other animals will not suffer at his hands. This is what we are here for, all thanks to our incredible community and supporters. If the public has concerns about an animal that is being neglected or cruelly treated, we urge them to call our Humane Investigations Department or submit a report online at spcamc.org — all reports are confidential.”

Police nab King City Salinas doctor pleads guilty to committing burglary suspect lewd conduct, relinquishes medical license STAFF REPORT

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE

KING CITY — A King City man has been arrested in connection with the Aug. 22 burglary at a River Drive home occupied at the time by two female juveniles.

According to the South County Major Crimes Unit, 31-year-old Oscar Venegas was identified as the suspect who entered the King City residence in the 100 block of River Drive through a side door early that evening and startled the two girls inside.

Venegas then “directed the females to a room in the residence and had them stay in Oscar Venegas place,” police said in a news release. “(He) took some items from the females and fled the residence on foot.”

The girls were unharmed, police said.

Venegas was arrested without incident Aug. 28 at a residence also in the 100 block of River Drive in King City. He was taken to Monterey County Jail on multiple charges, including first-degree burglary and robbery.

SALINAS — Monterey County District Attorney Dean D. Flippo has announced that Robert Wlodarczyk, a resident of Monterey, pleaded guilty to one count of committing lewd or dissolute conduct in public.

Wlodarczyk, 73, is a cardiologist who has worked at the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital since 1994. On Oct. 21, 2016, he performed a cardiac catheterization procedure on Jane Doe at the hospital. During this procedure, she was given various medications, including Versed and Fentanyl, and placed under sedation.

After the procedure was concluded, two medical personnel observed Wlodarczyk place his hands on Doe’s breasts for about 30

Stolen vehicle recovered in KC CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE KING CITY — On Sept. 3 at about 8:40 a.m., King City police officers saw a suspicious grey Honda parked in the 900 block of South First Street in King City. The officers ran the license plate through the California State Law Enforcement Database and it was listed as stolen out of Merced, Calif., in Merced County.

The vehicle was occupied by the driver Mariah Dennison, 27, and passenger Ernesto Barrios, 26, both from Merced.

They were arrested without incident and taken to Monterey County Jail on charges for possession of a vehicle without the owner’s consent and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Barrios also had a misdemeanor warrant for the possession of dangerous drugs.

seconds while he was speaking to her. Doe was wearing a medical gown and was covered with a blanket and a drape at the time.

Wlodarczyk placed his hands on Doe over

her gown, blanket and drapes.

Due to the sedation, Doe was not aware that Wlodarczyk was touching her breasts; however, when she woke up, she noticed that his face was very close to hers, as he was explaining what he saw during the procedure.

She never gave Wlodarczyk permission to touch her breasts.

At the Aug. 29 sentencing hearing, Doe addressed Wlodarczyk and described the traumatic effects of sexual assault.

Wlodarczyk was sentenced by Judge Thomas W. Wills to three years of probation and 180 days in custody suspended, and is required to permanently relinquish his medical license. Judge Wills also ordered him to have no contact with Doe for 10 years, the maximum term provided by law.

State adopts new fire plan, providing ways to combat wildfires CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE CALIFORNIA — As destructive wildfires continue to burn throughout California, the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection took action last week in adoption of the 2018 Strategic Fire Plan, the state’s road map for reducing the risk and impacts from wildfires.

The plan update was developed over the past 21 months in a collaborative effort between the Board, Cal Fire, stakeholders

and public input.

The Strategic Fire Plan places an emphasis on what needs to be done long before a fire starts, while also looking to reduce firefighting costs, property losses, increasing firefighter safety, and contributing to forest health.

The 2018 Plan has seven goals that include: analyzing the fire risk, supporting land use planning, community preparedness planning, public education, integrating landowner fuels management, identifying fire

suppression resources, increasing fire prevention efforts and post-wildfire recovery.

Since the last iteration of the Strategic Fire Plan in 2010, it appears that the impacts of climate change has resulted in increased severity of wildfires, longer fire seasons, increased extreme weather conditions, historic drought, and led to our State’s worst tree mortality epidemic in history. The 2018 Plan addresses these issues and highlights the need for heightened levels of fire

prevention and protection of natural resources.

The State’s Strategic Fire Plan is updated every eight to 10 years. Annually, Cal Fire provides an update to the Board to report on the progress in plan implementation. Each Cal Fire Unit and Contract County develop local fire plans based on the guidance provided in the 2018 Strategic Fire Plan.

The 2018 Strategic Fire Plan is available on the Board’s website www.bof.fire.ca.gov.

Superior Court renames Department 12 as Juvenile Justice Court CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE

MONTEREY COUNTY — The Superior Court of California for the County of Monterey has announced that as of Aug. 30 Department 12 will be designated “Juvenile Justice Court,” replacing the previous designation of “Juvenile Delinquency Department.”

The designation “Juvenile Justice Court” aptly reflects the Court’s objective of ensuring that rehabilitative

services are provided to justice-involved youth at the earliest possible time and after careful consideration of the specific needs of each individual before the Court.

Accordingly, the Juvenile Justice Court collaborates closely with the Monterey County Juvenile Probation Department, Monterey County Health Department and its Behavioral Health Juvenile Justice Team, Monterey County Department of Social Services, and Monterey County Office of

Education to identify the rehabilitative services and educational environment best suited to promote the success of each individual.

The Juvenile Justice Court and its partners work together to achieve improved public safety, accountability and healthier futures for justice-involved youth through a family-centered, needs-driven approach that addresses the underlying causes of harmful behavior. This extends to offering services, such as counseling

for the entire family and assistance with addressing transportation and housing challenges; left unaddressed, such challenges themselves can create barriers to success.

Additionally, the Juvenile Drug Court, an 18-month program that provides intensive treatment for substance abuse, and CALA court, which provides intensive mental health services, are examples of collaborative courts currently serving youth within the Juvenile Justice Court.

Judge Stephanie E. Hulsey, who presides over Juvenile Justice Court, said, “The Court is very proud of the many young people who, having taken responsibility for their choices, give back to our community through community service, graduate (often with honors) from high school and college and/or work force bound, enter adulthood with the insight, empathy and goals that will enable them to lead fulfilling lives as productive members of our community.”

The Bureau strives to improve the ability of those engaged in production agriculture to provide a reliable source of food and fiber through reasonable stewardship of local resources.

Vegetable Growers Supply unveils updated logo and new website CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE SALINAS — Vegetable Growers Supply (VGS) has launched a refreshed brand identity and a new website, both designed and produced

by Moxxy Marketing.

Since 1948, VGS has been a leading provider of packaging, tools, farming supplies and services to growers and

shippers of fresh fruits and vegetables in the Salinas Valley, throughout California and Yuma, Ariz.

“When VGS hired us, they weren’t looking for a new brand identity, their focus was on updating their website,” said Moxxy President and CEO Karen Nardozza. “But, as with all our projects, we approached their website

project strategically to assure it would accomplish all their marketing goals. We discovered VGS is one of the most progressive companies in their industry, with advanced technology and systems as well as highly customizable service to meet the challenging demands of their grower-shipper customers — but their brand image didn’t re-

flect it. VGS was approaching their 70-year anniversary and agreed with our recommendation to upgrade their brand identity with a new logo along with the new website.”

The updated logo features bold black lettering with supporting green details. The “V” in “VGS,” along with two stylized leaves, creates a balanced diamond shape, a tribute to the brand’s previous logo.

“While a logo redesign wasn’t our initial priority, when Moxxy proposed it and explained their rationale, we listened,” said VGS President and General Manager Willy Leon. “VGS has been around for 70 years, and that old logo was very well known by all our customers, so we wanted to retain our brand equity while better positioning the company as more advanced and capable to expertly serve today’s sophisticated farming industry. Moxxy did a great job creating a strong, modern new logo that honors our company’s history and sets us

up for the future.”

The new website, at veggrow.com, is a complete departure for the company.

Its contemporary, responsive design displays just as well on a mobile phone as it does on a laptop or tablet.

Because it’s built on the popular WordPress content management system, Moxxy trained the VGS staff to be

able to make most website updates themselves in-house, which will allow them to keep messaging current, post timely sales specials and add new location information throughout seasonal transitions.

The new site also integrates with their ERP system, allowing customers to securely log in and manage inventory in real-time.

California Rodeo Salinas’ ‘Rodeo Responsibility’ video goes viral

Contributed Photo

California Rodeo Salinas announcers Wayne Brooks and Will Rasmussen

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE SALINAS — The California Rodeo Salinas is dedicated to preserving and promoting the traditions of the west and has produced a video about how it is the responsibility of rodeo fans and those who live the western lifestyle to create new fans by bringing them to rodeos.

The video features long-time California Rodeo Salinas announcers Wayne Brooks and Will Rasmussen.

Brooks urges people to buy a cowboy hat, put on some jeans and come experience the rodeo. Rasmussen says they want to entertain the attendees every minute that they are in the grandstands.

They both want to see rodeo continue for the next 100 years, as does the 108-year-old California Rodeo Salinas.

Rodeos are part of our heritage and culture; the Rodeo’s marketing manager Mandy Linquist says, “This video is bigger than the California Rodeo Salinas. It is meant to impact

the entire industry and to give fans a way to help us preserve the traditions of the west.”

As Brooks says in the video, “Carrying on the traditions of the American Cowboy is a big deal.”

California Rodeo staff and volunteer board members have attended meetings with other rodeo committees to discuss the importance of bringing in new fans. Educating about the western lifestyle and the rodeo industry is key especially since most of the population is not exposed to livestock or rural living.

The video has reached over 125,000 people on Facebook and has more than 60,000 views so far.

The video can be found on the California Rodeo’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ CARodeoSalinas/videos/10156097681322740/ and supporters of the California Rodeo Salinas, the rodeo industry and the western way of life are encouraged to view and share it to continue growing the “Rodeo Responsibility” movement and to use the hashtag #RodeoResponsibility.

New cookie to join 2019 lineup for Girl Scout Cookie Program CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE CENTRAL COAST — Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast (GSCCC) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) recently announced that a new cookie, Caramel Chocolate Chip, will join the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie season lineup, as a gluten-free offering with limited availability in select areas.

More than just delicious cookies, the Girl Scout Cookie Program fuels girls’ development of entrepreneurial and essential life skills, and the cookie earnings power amazing experiences for girl members.

The largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, the Girl Scout Cookie Program

is proven to help the majority of girl participants develop five essential life and business skills, fostering the next generation of women who are entrepreneurs and business leaders.

A recent Girl Scout Research Institute study found that 85 percent of girls surveyed learned how to set goals and meet deadlines, 88 percent became effective decision-makers, 88 percent learned to manage money, 85 percent gained people skills and 94 percent learned business ethics — all through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Two out of three girls surveyed (66 percent) developed all five skills while doing amazing things for themselves and their communities.

Each and every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies — 100 percent of the net revenue, which stays local — is an investment in girls and their leadership capabilities, both now and in the future. And, Girl Scouts in the California’s Central Coast are able to do incredible things thanks to their cookie earnings.

“The Girl Scout Cookie Program plays a powerful role in developing financially savvy girl leaders,” said GSUSA CEO Sylvia Acevedo. “Girl entrepreneurs learn valuable interpersonal and business skills via the cookie program that help them become successful in their future careers, no matter what path they choose. My experience selling

Girl Scout Cookies taught me to be creative, enterprising, and persistent, and helped me build self-confidence and resilience.

When you buy Girl Scout Cookies you are not only helping girls become business trailblazers, you’re also helping them power their Girl Scout adventures and ensuring they have access to the cutting-edge leadership experiences and opportunities that only Girl Scouts can offer.”

Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast will offer the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie, which joins classics like the Thin Mints, Caramel

deLites and Shortbread varieties.

Caramel Chocolate Chip features rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips and a hint of sea salt in a chewy cookie.

The new cookie is offered only in select Girl Scout council markets for as long as supplies last, and it can only be purchased from a registered Girl Scout.

Like other similar consumer products, gluten-free cookies may be priced higher than other Girl Scout Cookies, reflecting the cost of production.

This July, GSUSA also announced 30 new badges now available exclusively for Girl Scouts ages 5 to 18 that not

only enhance the one-of-a-kind Girl Scout experience, but also address some of society’s most pressing needs, such as cybersecurity, environmental advocacy, mechanical engineering, robotics, computer science and space exploration. In a safe allgirl space, Girl Scouts develop important soft skills, including confidence and perseverance, as well as hard skills, setting them up for success and preparing them to take action for a better world.

Bicycling Gonzales, and elsewhere in Monterey County: Local ordinances on sidewalk riding

BY MARI LYNCH FOR KING CITY RUSTLER

T

he inaugural Ciclovía Gonzales, Sept. 9, 2018, is an Open Streets event for walking, rolling in a wheelchair, skating, bicycling, or using other people-powered transportation on streets free of motor vehicles. It’s sure to increase interest in biking, as do Open Streets events worldwide. That includes inspiring children and others who normally aren’t safely able or comfortable biking streets.

Open Streets are rare in Monterey County. To date, there’s only one other, Ciclovía Salinas, launched 2013 and still just an annual event.

How can Monterey County communities support biking year-round?

Infrastructure improvements, such as Class 4 bike lanes with a physical barrier, are most helpful. And simple

steps can be worthwhile too, such as making local ordinances — including about sidewalk riding — appropriately accommodating.

With some exceptions, biking on sidewalks is usually less safe than biking streets. For example, at driveways and intersections, drivers typically aren’t expecting a person on a bicycle coming off a sidewalk.

Nonetheless, a person who bikes may sometimes find a sidewalk their safest option. Reasons include narrow roadways or being in high-traffic areas, especially without bike lanes; low visibility conditions, such as heavy fog; nighttime riding in isolated areas, or areas without streetlights; and, of course, a child pedaling. Most people agree children up to approximately age 13 cannot really make the necessary decisions about vehicle speed and distance that allow them to

bike streets safely.

California law leaves sidewalk riding to local jurisdiction. That makes sense, because infrastructure, the number of people who bike or walk, and other factors vary widely.

But it makes confusion unsurprising.

Some Monterey County cities allow sidewalk riding everywhere, some prohibit it entirely, and some prohibit it in specific areas.

Sidewalk riding is allowed in Salinas and Monterey, except where signs give notice of prohibition.

(Sidewalk riding is prohibited, e.g., in a few areas of downtown Salinas, and on Alvarado and Calle Principal in Monterey.) In Carmel and Greenfield, sidewalk riding is prohibited in commercial/business districts. For details for those and other Monterey County cities, and unincorporated areas, see https://bit.ly/LawsSkillsSafety.

Gonzales 1972 Code § 10.52.130 states “No person shall operate a bicycle upon a sidewalk within the city,” (www.codepublishing.com/CA/Gonzales/html/Gonzales08/Gonzales0844. html#8.44.110). Gonzales officials may wish to change that complete prohibition, and if so, could include language reflecting that sidewalks aren’t designed for the speed bicycles normally travel; they’re designed for pedestrian speeds. Language could be included similar to that in Salinas and Monterey codes, e.g., “Any permitted bicycle riding on sidewalks must be done with due caution and reasonable speed. Bicyclist must yield to all pedestrian traffic and give an audible signal before overtaking and passing a pedestrian.”

If you bike, be a good ambassador for bicycling. Bike polite, be predictable and visible, and observe laws.

If you don’t bike, more people bicycling still benefits you — through reduced traffic congestion, carbon emissions, and public health costs, along with other positive impacts.

Contact your local government representatives about reviewing any bike-related local codes. Encourage updating codes as appropriate, to best serve the current transportation needs of your community.

Spartans break 15-game losing streak to Pacific Grove

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS

GONZALES — Fourth quarter fireworks by the Gonzales Spartan football team led to a 3423 victory over host Pacific Grove that snapped a 15-game losing streak to the Breakers last Friday at Breaker Stadium.

The victory helped the Spartans improve to 2-0 in non-league play.

Gonzales took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter with a 21-yard pass play from quarterback Jayson Flores to Dominic Emery. Flores entered the game early in the first quarter as starter Raul Morales left the game after rolling his ankle. The Breakers matched the touchdown with a three-

yard scoring run by Anthony DaSilva but were unsuccessful on a two-point conversion play and left the Spartans clinging to a 7-6 lead.

The second quarter saw the Breakers take a 13-7 lead on 37-yard touchdown run by DaSilva and a PAT by Sergi Mendoza. Spartan running back Payton Flores, the brother of Jayson Flores, caught a pass from the newly inserted

back-up quarterback to cut the lead to tie the game at 13-13. Gonzales placekicker Franky Cisneros gave Gonzales the lead at 14-13.

The host Breakers ended the first half scoring by regaining the lead at 16-14 with a 32-yard field goal by Mendoza.

Mustangs crush Bruins, 34-0

BY MICHAEL RAMIREZ SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS

T

wo big plays in the first half sparked the King City Mustang football team to a 34-0 victory over the host Greenfield Bruins on Friday night in Greenfield.

The game was the season opener for King City, while the Bruins lost their second straight non-league game.

In the first play of the game, Mustang quarterback Dylan Oliveros found teammate Luis Briseno

for a pass play and the shifty receiver scored a 70yard touchdown to give the visitors a 6-0 lead. Jonah Mendez went in to add the point after attempt but on the kick the Mustangs were penalized for a procedure call. After he was backed up five-yards, Mendez drilled the ball through the uprights to give his team a 7-0 lead with 11:39 to play in the first quarter.

Greenfield moved the ball on their first possession but had to send in place kicker Hernandez to attempt a long field. The ball fell short and the Mustangs took over on their own 32-yard line. Oliveros put his speed on display on first down as he called his own number and ran for an 80-yard score that

was quickly called back on a penalty call.

The Bruins defense did tighten and had the Mustangs close to the fifth at fourth and 10.

Oliveros fought to earn yardage but came up short and was taken down when he could not find a receiver open.

After the Bruins took over on downs Greenfield quarterback Daniel Mendoza had a pass picked off by King City defensive back Devin Morales and returned for a 65-yard touchdown on the interception.

GONZALES — The Gonzales High girls tennis team was busy last week with scrimmages against Everett Alvarez and North Salinas. The Spartans played a total of three scrimmages last week.

“We played Alvarez twice and North Salinas once,” said Gonzales head coach Rene Mendez. “Since it is pre-season the primary goals were to have all the girls play in two matches with Alvarez that were essentially scrimmages. All the girls got some match experience and our returning players did very well, especially the double teams. In our match with North Salinas I did not have all my players available, but we did keep score for the top 10. The doubles team played very well and in fact all three matches were decided on a handful of points.”

Gonzales will play at Watsonville High School on Thursday, Sept. 20, and in Gilroy against Christopher High School on Tuesday, Sept. 25.

SOLEDAD — A fumble in the last five minutes of the game prevented the Soledad Aztec football team from coming home with a victory over the host Gilroy High Mustangs.

The Aztecs held the lead at 13-9, but the fumble and a late score by the Mustangs sealed a 16-13 win for Gilroy.

“We let that game go,” said Soledad head coach Eric Rodriguez. “They (Mustangs), had a few guys back from their championship team but they are basically a new team with a new coach like us. That fumble was just huge and really hurt us. We were able to get the ball back after Gilroy scored but we just ran out of time and when they got the ball back they ran out the clock. It was just a tough way to lose a football game.”

The Mustangs took a 7-0 lead at the 5:44 mark of the first quarter with a 15-yard touchdown run by quarterback Brendan Doyle and a point after attempt by Sam Zamaripa.

The touchdown and field position were set up by a fierce pass rush by defensive tackle Pablo Villasenor that forced a fumble that was recovered by defensive end Miguel Arreola. After the score Coach Berlanga called for an on-side kick. Cisneros kicked the ball right at the Breakers and the ball was recovered by Emery.

On the last scoring drive of the evening Payton Flores threw a pass from power and connected with Emery for a 28-yard touchdown pass play.

MIND, BODY & SPIRIT American Heart Association recognizes Salinas hospital for workplace health achievement CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE SALINAS — Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System (SVMHS) has received the American Heart Association 2018 Silver level recognition for taking significant steps to build a robust culture of health in the workplace.

The American Heart Association relies on the Workplace Health Achievement Index, which uses science-based best practices to evaluate the overall quality and comprehensiveness of companies’ workplace health programs.

“Our employees walk the walk,” says Pete Delgado, president/CEO of Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System. “We want our entire community to be healthy and that commitment starts here at home, our workplace.”

The American Heart Association created the Workplace Health Achievement Index with a leadership collaborative of more than 40 chief executive officers from some of America’s largest companies who are committed to applying evidence-based approaches to improve their employees’ overall health.

“Every year we offer free health screenings to our employees,” says Tiffany DiTullio, chief administrative officer of patient experience and community wellness. “We then share the results with them so they are aware of their personal health risk factors. Our overall goal is to motivate our employees to make changes for a healthier life through our exercise classes, free prediabetes

More than 1,000 companies including hospitals completed the Workplace Health Achievement Index assessment this year. Companies receive benchmarking reports which

allow them to identify potential areas of improvement so that they can advance their annual performance and recognition in the Index and move their workforce more toward ideal health.

The American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Achievement Index allows companies to measure the effectives of their workplace health programs as well as the overall health of their employees.

The Index also scores companies on the heart health of their employees based on Life’s Simple 7, the American Heart Association’s scientifically validated definition of ideal heart health.

Help kids kick cancer by giving blood with Red Cross CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE CALIFORNIA — During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support kids, teens and young adults battling cancer, as well as others in need of transfusions.

According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 15,000 children and adolescents in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year. Childhood cancer patients may need blood

products on a regular basis during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

Blood and platelet donors of all blood types, especially type O negative and O positive, are urgently needed to replenish the blood supply following a critical summer blood shortage.

Donors can do good and look good this September when they donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross and get a free haircut coupon from Sport Clips Haircuts, a proud partner of the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which supports research to find cures for childhood cancers.

“The Red Cross and Sport Clips share a commitment to helping kids kick cancer, and we are thrilled to partner in September for the Saving Lives Never Looked So Good campaign to help bring attention to this important topic,” said Donna M. Morrissey, director of national partnerships, Red Cross Biomedical Services.

“We are grateful to Sport Clips for their continued support of the Red Cross and for thanking the generous blood and platelet donors who help make lifesaving treatments possible for many childhood cancer patients.”

Stress management 101 ____________________________________________

BY JOYCE MEYER FOR SOUTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS

I

t seems that stress is the disease of the century. Products and programs to manage stress are a multi billion-dollar business, whether the “cure” is medicine, counseling, books, seminars or classes. But I’ve discovered that God’s way of managing stress is the most effective way to live.

Jesus says in John 14:27 (AMP): “Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]”

I know what it’s like to live under the burden and pressure of stress, and I know what it’s like to have God’s peace. I can honestly say that I will do whatever I have to do to have God’s peace in my life, because it is not God’s will for us to live with stress all the time.

It’s easy for us to feel like we can’t avoid being stressed-out because it’s just the way the world is today. But the truth is just because stress is a disease of our culture, it doesn’t mean we have to adopt the ways of our culture and live the same way.

We have two options: We can continue to be stressed-out until we fall apart, or we can learn how to receive the peace Christ gives in every circumstance, rather than letting stress get into us.

For many years, I lived with constant stress. I was sexually abused by my father throughout my childhood. Then when I

left home at the age of 18, I married the first man who came along because I was afraid no one else would want me, and that led to five years of misery. He ended up abandoning me.

By the time I was 23 and met Dave Meyer, I was a mess! I was worried, full of fear, insecure and had a poor self-image. So I tried to find value in what I did and became a workaholic.

Over time, I developed physical problems, like frequent headaches and backaches, and had problems in many of my relationships because I was unhappy and hard to get along with. I finally came to the place where I decided that I would not live that way any longer. Whatever it took, I was going to have God’s peace and live a peaceful life!

James 1:21 says, “…With a humble spirit receive the word [of God] which is implanted [actually rooted in your heart], which is able to save your souls.” Although I was a Christian during this time of my life, I needed to “get saved” in my soul — my mind, will and emotions. I needed to renew my mind with the Word of God so I could know the Truth and be set free from the root issues of my stress.

Here’s how it works: When we study God’s Word — reading it, meditating on it, getting it deep down in our hearts — it changes the way we think. This causes us to change the way we talk, which changes our attitudes, and then our behavior changes. At this point, the things around us — our circumstances — can’t control us anymore.

Being set free from the pressure of stress begins with God’s Word, but we also have to understand that if things are

going to change in our lives, we will have to take responsibility to change them with God’s help. So the first thing we need to do is pray and be willing to hear what He has to say about the real root of our problem.

If you’re already doing your part, then be determined to trust God to fix things.

But if you’re not walking in wisdom or you’re doing things a certain way just because that’s the way everybody else is doing it, then follow the direction He is speaking to your heart to make a change.

We must pray and obey! This means we make a commitment not to live based on the culture around us but by the leading of the Holy Spirit, who lives in us as born-again believers in Christ. Our mindset should be: With God’s help, I’m ready to make a change. Then as we do what He shows us to do (or what He shows us not to do), we’ll be able to live in peace.

Pursue the peace Jesus is offering you today. It’s not the kind the world gives — the kind you have as long as your circumstances are the way you want them to be. The peace Jesus gives makes you calm and undisturbed on the inside, in your soul, no matter what’s going on around you.

Study other scriptures about peace, like Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 3:15 and 1 Peter 3:11. Put your trust in God completely and enjoy the life Jesus died to give you. Through Christ, you can learn how to manage the stress of this world, instead of letting stress manage you!

Those who come out to give blood or platelets Sept. 1-30 will receive a coupon for a free haircut via email several days after their donation. The coupon is valid through Nov. 11, at participating Sport Clips locations. Donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.

Prequalification Packages will be received before 2:00 p.m. on September 14, 2018, at the Greenfield Union School District, Attn: Fernando Nieto, 493 El Camino Real, Greenfield, CA 93927, at or after which time the Prequalification Packages will be opened in a private setting.

4. To prequalify, a developer is required, in addition to other criteria, to possess an applicable State of California Contractor License, which must remain active and in good standing throughout the term of the developer’s prequalification or the term of any awarded contract, whichever is longer. In addition, a developer is required to be registered as a public works contractor with the Department of Industrial Relations.

5. For all work performed on District projects, developers shall pay all workers not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, State of California, for the type of work performed and the locality in which the work is to be performed within the boundaries of the District, pursuant to sections 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code.

MUSTANGS

Continued from B1

Mendez then punched in the PAT that gave King City a 14-0 lead with 6:34 to play in the half.

The third quarter belonged to the Mustangs as they scored on an 11-yard touchdown run Oliveros and the third PAT of the game by Mendez that made the score 21-0. Aaron Leonard then made his presence felt at running back as he scored on a 37yard touchdown run.

Another PAT by Mendez made the score 28-0. Mendez used both legs to score points for King City as he completed the scoring with a 10yard jaunt but was unsuccessful on the PAT for the final 34-0 tally.

“We just have to clean our play because we came in a little sloppy against Greenfield,” said King City head coach Mac Villanueva. “This week we play Carmel at home and they are one of the best teams in the area. For us to do well and compete we have to execute the game plan we already have in play. Carmel has probably one of the best defensive fronts we will see this season and they have been together for a few years. Defensively they can give up points and we

are going to have to get our points because Carmel can put up points.”

King City finished the game with 402 yards of offense including

111 rushing yards by Oliveros on 14 carries. Oliveros also passed for 113 yards and finished with a six of 10 passing performance. Briseno led

the Mustangs with three catches for 82 yards. Caleb Hood, Isaias Gonzales, and Morales finished with an interception.

Greenfield fell to 0-2 in nonleague play under first-year head coach Adam Barsenas who saw some improvement in his team’s play.

“We feel that we can open up our offense and take pressure off quarterback Daniel Mendoza if we can run the ball well,” said Barsenas.

“Jaime Soto had a good game for us at running back with 22 carries and 188 yards but we also had three interceptions and we hurt ourselves giving up a big offensive play right away and then threw an interception for another score.

In the junior varsity game, the Broncos defeated Greenfield by a 27-2 score. Felix Dominguez scored one touchdown on a fumble recovery and another on a running play. Ivan Lizardi ran in a score and Alexis DeDios caught a touchdown pass from Bronco quarterback Ryland Hindershied.

“Our players did well in their assignments,” said Bronco head coach Evan Petrovic. “Offensively we made mistakes and we had to clean those up for our next opponent (Carmel). Carmel will be one of the most disciplined teams that we will see on the field this year. This game will show us where we are and can be as football team.”
