Council works
on prioritizing
for the coming
sessions
There were no surprises when Pacific
Grove City Council held a planning session
to discuss priorities for the two years, 2014
to 2016. In fact, many of the items suggested
as priorities were already in the works, but
council members want to keep them in the
forefront of thoughts as the “new” council is
seated and begins work.
The council revisits priorities about
every two years, as new councils are seated.
This year, with Alan Cohen being termed
out, there was one new council member and
two who were re-elected: Bill Peake, Rudy
Fischer, and Ken Cuneo.
This year, council members submitted
individual lists of their priorities, which staff
categorized and grouped. Management staff
also chimed in on what they considered to
be the most valuable for the future of Pacific
Grove.
Following discussion and public input,
the council will be provided detail and consider the priorities again as the new budget
discussion is launched in early February,
2015.
Other priorities will, of course, arise
during the council term. Absence on this list
does not necessarily mean that these other
priorities won't be considered. A list will be
returned to the council by staff for approval
later on.
Categories below reflect the ranking
given by council members during the session.
Infrastructure and natural environment rose to the top of the council's list with
water sourcing receiving the most attention
from council members , but trees being the
item on the top of the list for the public.
Council members asked to look at the tracking of in-lieu fees and a revisit of the list of
preferred trees. City manager Tom Frutchey
asked for consideration of “the right trees in
the right places and the right maintenance.”
Other items on the “infrastructure” list included a comprehensive assessment of curbs,
streets, sidewalks, ramps and rights of way;
cemetery upkeep; pedestrian safety; and
lights for Candy Cane Lane and other areas
of town. Environmental concerns included
signage, lighting, and connections to the core
downtown from the Rec Trail. Entry parks
were mentioned, including Lovers Point and
tidepool projects, both of which already have
projects under way.

Financial stability was combined with business and community vitality as
important categories, with Mayor Kampe pointing out that a whopping 35 percent of
the city's income is provided by tourists and other visitors to Pacific Grove vis-a-vis
transient occupancy tax, sales tax, and the golf links. Shared services as a method of
reining in costs, according to the mayor and the city manager, have lost priority in
other Peninsula cities because the economy is improving. Mayor Kampe also hinted
that a pay-per-service agreement rather than a blanket plan might be considered for fire
services currently provided by the city of Monterey. Other revenue sources the council
may consider include an admissions tax on entertainment venues, a real estate transfer
tax, and – albeit out in the future – a parcel tax.
Resident services and good governance were two more items which will surely
be considered. The council wants to examine increasing library hours, assistance of
some sort to low-income residents, and a joint meeting with the Pacific Grove Unified
School District to potentially examine common issues such as pedestrian safety.
They will as a council monitor the website, which is currently being revised, and
the television/video feed. Steve Silveiria, IT manager, pointed out that the problems with
the television feed likely have to do more with the city's infrastructure than with AMP
TV. They are looking at customer service training and standards, and monitoring the
effectiveness of board and commissions and the council liaisons to each commission.

Serendipity and the Rowena Meeks Abdy Collection of Pat Hathaway
Imagine poking through photos on
EBay, and coming across the image of
a street you recognized, even though
the photo was more than a century old.
It was the beginning of a major project
for Pacific Grove’s Pat Hathaway amd
co-author Julianne Burton-Carvajal and
a beautiful book about the California
plain air artist, Rowena Meeks Abdy.
The book was launched last weekend, on
January 10, 2015.
Said Hathaway, “The Rowena
Meeks Abdy Collection of over 570 film
negatives is a collection that I acquired
in 2012 from a seller on EBay in Texas.
He had listed three images that I recognized as Monterey. I contacted him
to see if he had more, he said ‘Yes, lots
more!’ After a few calls and emails we
came to a figure that worked for the both
of us. And I bought the collection.”
After a year of cataloging, examining and scanning the negatives,
Hathaway invited local author Julianne
Burton-Carvajal to work with him on a
book about the Abdys and the remark-
able collection. They worked together
for two years before publishing the
book.
But there’s another quirky coincidence. All his life, a painting of the
Capistrano Mission had been hanging
in Hathaway’s home. Forty-five or more
years ago, a family friend had given
the painting to his mother and he had
passed by it every day. When they were
working on the book, a friend named
Inge Heidrick took a good hard look at
it, and said, “Pat? Do you know who did
this painting?” And sure enough, it was
signed by Rowena Meeks Abdy.
The book, Artists’ Honeymoon: At
Work & Play in Monterey & Beyond, is
available at Hathaway’s gallery, California Views, at 469 Pacific Ave., Monterey
(831-373-3811). Hauk Fine Arts Gallery,
206 Fountain Ave. in Pacific Grove
(831-373-6007) also carries the book.
Rowena Meeks Abdy was an American painter who created vibrant records
of Northern California, including the
Monterey Peninsula, in the early 20th
century. She worked in oil, watercolor
and charcoal. She achieved prominence
in the plein air painting school and her
works are held in several permanent collections of significant museums.
Rowena Fischer Meeks Abdy
(1887-1945) was born in Vienna. She
was the daughter of John Meeks (18401891), a retired wealthy American business man originally from New York, and
Anna Fischer Meeks (1860-1898). She
went to a number of schools in Europe
before the family moved to San Francisco, when she was 11 years old.
She married writer Harry Bennett
Abdy (1868-1963), from Yorkshire, England on October 9, 1910 in Monterey.
They built two homes in Monterey, the
first on El Dorado shortly after their
marriage and a home/studio called "Forest Haven" around 1912 on El Camino
in the Pines above the art colony of
Monterey.
Harry Abdy would promote his
wife’s work using his writing skills.
In 1915, couple took a steamboat trip
from St. Louis, Missouri to Pittsburgh,
Pat Hathaway had lived all his life
with a painting by Rowena Abdy and
didn’t realize it until he started working
on the book. He signed copies of his
book at the launch at Casa Serrano in
Monterey, where a reception with music and period costumes won the day.
Pennsylvania. They met artist Armin C.
Hansen, who would make drawings that
would eventually be used to create by
Abdy. Examples of Hansen's work is on
display at Casa Serrano.
The Abdys finished their trip in New
York City, where Abdy exhibited work
created during the trip. Harry wrote a
book on the trip, On the Ohio, which
featured illustrations by Rowena Abdy.
In Monterey and the surrounding area,
she painted many Spanish missions and
coastal landscapes. She then moved, in
1917, to San Diego. There, she painted
landscapes of Old Town. The Abdys
were divorced in 1927.
Artists’ Honeymoon: At Work &
Play in Monterey & Beyond, 1910-1920
(4 parts, 140 pages, 160 iphoto in Sepia
and full color) is a unique window onto
the history of Monterey and environs. It
features 150 century-old photographs.
Never before published, they have been
selected from a recently rediscovered
trove of 570 negatives now in the Hathaway archives, and supplemented with
associated paintings and period maps.

On Jan. 13, 2015, the Monterey County District Attorney’s office issued an arrest
warrant for James Kevin Johnson of Los Angeles in connection with the February
2013 armed robbery of Hesselbein’s Jewelry Store in the Crossroads in Carmel. Bail
was set at $3 million.
On February 8, 2013 two black men posing as utility workers brandished a semiautomatic handgun, tied up employees and robbed Hesselbein’s of about $200,000 in
jewelry. The men told employees they were utility workers there to repair a gas leak.
Both were wearing white hard hats and orange reflective safety vests.

Carmel Police Arrest Two for
Alleged Credit Card Fraud at
Fourtané in Carmel
On 01/12/15 at approximately 1430 hours, Garik Gevorgyan, 45, and Sarkis Demirchian, 49. both from Los Angeles, entered Fourtané Estate Jewelry on Ocean Avenue
in Carmel with the intent to defraud the business of retail merchandise. After the pair
entered the store, employees assisted the suspects with the selection of a diamond ring
valued at $43,400. The suspects used two fraudulent credit cards to make the purchase
and left the store with the merchandise. After the suspects left the store, employees
called the telephone numbers on the back of the cards and discovered the cards were
fraudulent. Store employees immediately contacted the Carmel Police Department
for assistance.
With the assistance of Fourtané’s staff, Carmel PD was able to locate both suspects
at a nearby business and took both suspects into custody without incident.
During a search of their persons and vehicle subsequent to arrest, Gevorgyan was
found to be in possession of 35 different fraudulent credit cards and Demirchian was
found to be in possession of 34 different fraudulent credit cards. Numerous items of
evidence were also seized from their vehicle, which is believed to be related to other commercial burglary cases throughout the Monterey Peninsula and the state of California.
Both suspects were transported and booked into Monterey County Jail, each for
the following charges: PC 459- Burglary; PC 484G(a)- use of fraudulent bank card;
and PC 530.5(c)(1)- identity theft.
At this time, recovered property is believed to be related to additional commercial
burglaries that are believed to have taken place in Carmel, Seaside and Buttonwillow.
The total value of these additional thefts is estimated to be in excess of $5,000.
This investigation is still in the preliminary phase and is ongoing but it is believed
the two suspects who were arrested were working in concert with additional suspects
and vehicles that have not yet been identified. This case will be forwarded on to Federal
authorities for further investigation.
We are asking the business community to Contact Detective Jeff Watkins at the
Carmel Police Department, (831) 624-6403, if they have any further information or
leads regarding this investigation.

and carriages are available at the depot. The Salinas rodeo will now select dates not in
competition with the Los Angeles event.
Knowles no longer naked
Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist who spent a year wandering the woods of New
England entirely naked says that he has proven what can be endured by man. Knowles
said that he was headed west to repeat the feat in the woods near Mount Shasta. Bitter
outcries from nearby residents seem to have changed Knowles’ mind about his lack of
attire, however. The naturist has stated that he will don a loincloth when around people.

It has been learned that the split between Mexican Generals Pancho Villa and
Venustiano Carranza is now complete. Villa considers himself a Rebel while Carranza
has gone over more strongly to the Constitutionalists. Villa became incensed after
Carranza appointed General Natera, rather than himself, to head the northern force of
the constitutionalists. This act, for the first time, made clear the relationship between
Villa and Carranza. In retaliation, Villa declared that he no longer answered to Carranza’s orders and he assumed control of Juarez and vicinity. General Chan, formerly
in charge of the Juarez area, has gone over to Villa. General Villa wired Carranza to
say that he intended to move southward toward Mexico City as soon as his troops had
rested. That was considered bad news by the Carranza forces and good news by the
American population of El Paso. 2

The Mysterious Disappearance of a Beatnik Poet-Painter
Who Masqueraded as Susanina of Venice West
Wanda Sue Parrott
Homeless in Paradise
Recently I got an e-mail about homelessness at Venice Beach from a 1952 Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte High School classmate. The Care2 Causes story, dated Dec.
10, 2014 by Crystal Shepeard, said, “Venice Beach, California is the stuff of legends
and fantasy.” Right!
The report described Venice as “the home of an increasingly large transient population” that. . . has resulted in a de-facto homeless encampment.” What?
The sender, Frank Ross “Buzzy” Jerome, former dean at Santa Monica College,
is now retired near the Venice Boardwalk where homelessness is as old as Paradise is
legendary. I know. I vanished from there without leaving a clue.
In summer 1959, trying to choose my path of life, I mingled with the Venice venue’s
vagabonds and vagrants. As the pseudo beachfront poet and painter “Susanina of Venice
West,” I learned to go nude in private. I also wore a fake hip-long braid, homemade
wooden sandals, and clothesline belt in public.
“Susanina” learned to play bongo drums and a few chords on an acoustic guitar
as she recited undisciplined ramble-rants in poetry readings at candlelit coffee houses.
Leaders of the generation had inherited the awesome, awful A-Bomb and, knowing
any moment might be their last on earth, were grasping for freedom while they could.
At 23, I joined them as a disciple.
We were called Beatniks, whether clean-cut like me, scruffy and full of free-flowing
stream-of-consciousness and sidewalk urine, or suffering malaise from lice, malnutrition
and postwar PTSD, addiction, and mental problems like paranoia and schizophrenia.
The Venice in the article was almost the same Venice I had known: Its boardwalk
is a circus-like environment with a parade of characters. For more than two miles you
can walk and be entertained by street performers, stop to have your fortune told, buy
food or fare (some less than legal) from the various street vendors, all while trying to
avoid getting run over by the skateboarders, bicyclists and scantily-clad rollerbladers.
Some things have changed: The Gas House was our main attraction on the boardwalk then called the strand. Cheap tenements housed low-income elderly who outnumbered the 200 or so transients camping along the beachfront.
In 1959, most homeless were men on skid row in downtown. Today, 56,000 men,
women, children and pets are homeless throughout Los Angeles, or about 20 times
more than the 2013 Homeless Census counted in Monterey County.
How new is homelessness, transience, or whatever name America’s non-mainstream
Death of a Beatnik Poet, 1959
Summertime poets haunted the Gas House
along the strand in Venice West,
seeking... like what?
She, a junior on semester break,
rope-belted, sandaled, strings-of-seaweed hair,
beating bongos, chanting stream-of-consciousness
soliloquies about a new race after the bomb,
and going with the flow,
and why fools make earthquakes,
seeking a major to declare,
or screw it all... just let it all hang out...
hit the road, Jack... Kerouac...
I, you, he, she, we, you, it, they...
conjugated and translated like, man,
like new men,
transitive and intransitive verbs...
translated and truncated...
were there
among creosote-scented tenements
crusting with salt, exuding attar of sea air,
smoking, toking, poking, joking, croaking.
Now rollerbladers skate along the shore
where Beatniks’ pads were home to poets
whose tamed-rat pets wantonly wandered wild,
like languishing lovers along naked arms
of black-and-white pairs performing
scrunched behind battered guitars
facing each other nearly nude
in an iron lion-clawed tub in the Gas House
where gawkers could gaze by poking coins
through rusty, twisted wires of a Victorian cage
in which canaries had trilled joyously
before the atom was split.

houseless population is or will be called? It is rooted in ancient history! Think of the
Bedouins of the middle east, traveling Gypsies of Europe, and Native Americans of
the U.S. who only lost their freedom to roam in 1890. During the middle ages, bands
of roving minstrels traveled throughout Europe, as did Shakespearean players, who
entertained while also carrying news from place to place.
I believe society needs the alternative path for those who are seeking the way home
for themselves. The danger such alternative routes pose for a nation occurs when Robert Frost’s road least traveled becomes a lane leading to a mainstream refugee camp.
For seekers like me, the Beatniks’ bible, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, helped
me choose the mainstream. I got dressed, replaced my paint brush with a camera, and
became a photojournalist. All that remains of my summer as a Beachnik is summarized
in my poem that first appeared in the Summer 2000 edition of Hodgepodge Literary
Journal, Summer 2000..
Happy travels to all!
When weather turned foul and cash was spare,
they ate their pets... plenty to spare.
Roaches were there. Did anyone care?
Fools flocked to stare. Yes, she was where

A Sunday in Moscone
Tom Stevens
Otter Views
The chance to undergo taxing urban
challenges took me Sunday to the Moscone
Center in San Francisco and the Ikea store
in Palo Alto. It was like going through the
Louvre twice. I’m still recovering.
I hadn’t meant to visit both destinations on the same day, but a last-minute
invitation to the “Winter Fancy Food
Show” in the city coincided with a need
for special Swedish light bulbs.
The bulbs were for a cool white floor
lamp I had found in PG’s Treasure Shop
thrift store. The lamp stands about four
feet tall and looks like a big glowing
silkworm. Its pleated paper shade hides
a metal pole with three spaced bulb outlets. But my lamp only had the top bulb.
Its slender coupling looked suspiciously
European-gauge.
“You have the other two bulbs?” I
asked rather hopelessly.
“I’m sorry. You’ll have to go to Ikea
for those.”
I had heard dimly of Ikea but had
never seen or visited one. From hearsay,
I had a mental image of a very modern
split-level building with tinted windows,
blond flooring and stairways as sleek and
spidery as Nordic suspension bridges. In
the showrooms, exquisite Scandinavian
furnishings would be displayed as sparely
as art in a gallery. I had also heard something about meatballs, but that part didn’t
make sense.
Before I could solve the meatball
mystery, the Winter Fancy Food Show
beckoned. An acquaintance who owns
a cheese shop in Reno had mentioned I
might enjoy seeing how the “specialty
food” world does business. Threading a
gauntlet of pink-clad popcorn girls along
Mission Street, I followed a human wave
of culinary enthusiasts into the vast,
vaulted atrium of Moscone Center.
I was to meet the Reno cheese monger
at a certain booth at 11 a.m. for something
called a “parm cracking,” but first I had to
register for the expo and pay the $60 entry
fee. This was when I discovered the Fancy
Food Show is not open to the mildly curious general public.
“Who are you with?” inquired a
steely-eyed woman at one of the sign-in
counters. Her fingers hovered over a laptop
that presumably tracked all expo presenters and legitimate attendees. Her question
caught me off-guard.
“I’m with the . . . uh . . . press?” I
offered.
Her fingers briskly dialed up the official media list and prepared to scroll.
“What press, please?”
“Cheese press!” I tried. “United
Cheese Press. I should be listed there as
Stevens. No? You sure? I wonder what
could have happened?”
“No other affiliation?” she asked
A colorful pattern made with a mandala of spices.
brusquely, already beckoning the next
person in line.
“Um, I work p-p-part-time for a coffee shop,” I stammered.
“Why didn’t you just say so?” Swiping my debit card, she stamped my paperwork, gave me a receipt for the fee and
handed me a scan-able ID placard proclaiming in all caps: “FOODSERVICE.”
It wasn’t a Rolling Stones all-access pass,
but it got me down to the main floor.
There several thousand specialty
food booths snaked in a conga line through
the four labyrinthine Moscone expo halls.
Throngs of food buyers, brokers, distributors, exporters, importers, wholesalers,
retailers – even humble foodservice
personnel – crowded the narrow aisles to
schmooze the presenters and sample far
too many dainties to list here.
I was able to witness the “parm cracking,” in which the wonderfully named
Italian cheese monger Giacomo Veraldi
used two almond-shaped wedges and one
vigorous thrust of a scoring tool to crack
open 80-pound wheel of parmesan cheese.
It was tangy.
There followed several hours of
trekking and tasting: cheeses, chocolates
and chutneys; meats, mustards and mushrooms; teas, toffees and tapenades; jellies,
juices and gelatos; seaweeds, shellfish and
sorbets; coffees, croissants, cashews and .
. . you get the idea.
Geographic groupings aside (two
dozen countries and as many U.S. states
had their own display zones), there was
wide gustatory variance from vendor to
vendor. Thus, one might down jalapeno
popcorn atop mango gelato atop olive
tapenade atop slivered corned beef atop
coffee espresso atop whipped escargot
atop “Puff n Muff” marshmallows and
come away with what one expo-goer
called “food show belly.”
Reeling from sensory overload and
leery of food show belly, I bid ciao to
the Italian parm cracker, sprung my truck
from the parking garage, and sped south
toward Palo Alto and my rendezvous with
all things lingonberry.
Amazed to find Ikea nearly as vast
and crowded as the Moscone Center,
I followed the floor arrows and made
dutiful circuits of both levels. Furnished
room after furnished room wheeled past
in a slow diorama of bedding, chairs,
carpets, mirrors, dressers, light fixtures,
kitchen appliances, even toilets whose
Saran-wrapped seats bore the thoughtful
reminder: “For Display Only.”
I did find the light bulbs and the famous meatballs. Ja!
Above, left: the man with the wheel of cheese is Giacomo Veraldi.
Above, top right: a generic shot showing a typically crowded expo aisle
Bottom, right: The woman with cheese is “cheddar guru” Mary Quicke from
England.

Transform your negative beliefs. . .
transform your life.

Animal Tales and
Other Random Thoughts
Little Buttercup
In 1973 we bought our home on Grove
Street in Monterey. Our next door neighbor
was an old friend, Sean Flavin. A few years
later Sean married Becky Paul who brought
to the union two children; a girl, Kate, and a
son, Philip. Sean’s boys were already out of
the nest. Recently Philip returned from Japan.
He has been a student and a teacher of many
fascinating subjects one of which is the Koto, a
stringed Japanese musical instrument. He is on
his way to Australia to a new job. His visit reminded me of an incident some years ago when
Philip had matriculated to graduate studies in
Japan and was home on a visit: The tale was
told to me and I have fictionalized the situation
as it may have happened:
Buttercup
“I certainly enjoy having Philip home,”
said Becky to the back of the newspaper as she placed a plate of eggs in front of it…
“hmmmm….” Said the newspaper.
The telephone rang and Becky ran to answer it, stepping over various sleeping
dogs and cats. (Our relationship is further strengthened by the Flavins’ profound
love of animals. We have shared a feline who left our house in a huff over a new
kitten.)
“Is this the Philip Flavin residence?” “No, well yes, would you like to speak to
him?” “No, ma’am, we just wondered what you want us to do with the cat?”
A short time later the young vacationer was sitting with his parents at the dining
table “...and where did you plan to get the $150 Mitsui wants to release the animal?”
screamed Becky, her normally placid exterior electric with rage.
By then Sean had entered the discussion, “Wait a minute, Becky, let Philip tell
us about the cat, perhaps it is very rare and valuable.” Sean is an attorney and his
analytical mind searches for a logical explanation to every problem.
Philip sighed with relief, happy that his father had decided to mediate. “Well,
Meatloaf….” “Meatloaf!? “ Becky was accustomed to erudite and gentle names for
animals and had christened hers as follows: Shy Ann, Daphne, and the cats, Balthazar and Minerva... “Well, you see, she is a Shinjuku alley cat…”
Shinjuku is a district in Tokyo like Greenwich Village. Philip and his friends
Times • Page 9
had rescued the kitten from under a truck. She lived with him until it was time to
leave for home and he could find no one who wanted a ten week old cat of uncertain
lineage. Philip was certain that his parents, who were devoted to animals, worked
tirelessly for humane organizations and spent thousands of dollars with vets, would
not turn away a four legged homeless feline. He was, of course, right.
Meatloaf, whose name was changed in transit to “Little Buttercup” arrived
on the doorstep 15 hours later and Sean reluctantly handed over a check for $150,
mentally filing the amount under “education expenses.” Name in Dispute Flavin as
she was known at the vet’s, received the appropriate shots and was brought home.
Daphne, the Airedale, sat on the backstops sulking. She had borne it well when
first Minerva and then Shy Ann had joined the ménage but somehow this newcomer
was not “one of us.” It was all too much for the good-natured animal. Philip returned
to San Francisco. The usual tranquil atmosphere was charged with snarls and whines.
The two resident cats would not let N.I.D. near her food. Becky decided to visit her
brother in Fresno, Sean went to work on weekends and Philip announced he was
retuning to Tokyo in a week.
The household was in chaos when a friend from Carmel Valley called Becky,
who was heading out the door with her luggage. “Oh, we are heartbroken, we had
him for such a long time, but it was time.” Becky commiserated in her kind, gentle
way “It is wrenching to lose a pet, but there is one thing that you must do, get
another at once.” “Actually,” she continued, “we have an adorable kitten that Philip
sent home, we would hate to give her up but will do it for you, knowing she will help
you heal.”
And that is how a small Shinjuku ally cat came to rule a large country home
in Carmel Valley. Becky did not go to Fresno, Sean worked weekends only when
necessary, the animals returned to their tranquil pattern. Meatloaf, Little Buttercup,
Name in Dispute, became simply “Cat.”

CSUMB Students Design Annual
Together With Love Logo
As publicity kicks in for the annual
Together with Love 5 and 10K run on Feb.
8, colorful posters are popping up around
the local area.
The artwork was done by CSU Monterey Bay student Diana Mejia in Professor
Bobbi Long’s introduction to digital graphic
design class.
This is the fifth year the Monterey
County Rape Crisis Center, sponsor of the
annual race that is held near Valentine’s
Day, has worked with CSUMB to develop
the logo that is used in marketing materials – in print ads, on television, online and on coffee mugs – and on the T-shirts given
to race participants.
The challenge for students is to come up with a design that combines the “Together
with Love” theme, the date, MCRCC’s full name and the logo of the premier corporate
sponsor, and communicates the purpose of the event.
Clare Mounteer, the center’s executive director, made several visits to the class to
introduce the project and work with the students. “I must have seen hundreds of different design concepts,” she said, adding that she enjoys seeing the many ways students
incorporate “so much creativity into their work.”
Students vote on the top designs; those designs are then presented to the MCRCC
staff or board for final selection.
For three decades, the race has been the biggest annual fundraising event for the
Rape Crisis Center, a nonprofit agency that advocates for and provides support for victims and survivors of sexual assault. The center also works to prevent sexual violence
through education.

Peace: A Definition
By Barbara Russek
“Peace” was a popular concept during our recent
winter holidays. I frequently saw the word on greeting
cards, CD jackets, even billboards.
As December turned into January and people
started expressing hopes for the new year, peace was
often first on their wish lists.
But what exactly does peace mean? Is it simply
the absence of war, as suggested by the title of Russian
novelist Leo Tolstoy’s epic work War and Peace? Or is
it really more complex than that?
Practically everyone wants world peace in the secular new year, but most of us have limited control over
what happens beyond our individual corner of Planet
Earth. So for now, I’d like to focus on our interactions
in that little corner by stating what peace is NOT.
It is not yelling, bullying or intimidating those
around us into submission as a way to avoid conflict.
On the other hand, it is not feeling overwhelmed, used
or in great emotional distress yet remaining silent and/
or compliant so as not to make waves.
If that’s what peace isn’t, what exactly is it?
Perhaps that question is best answered with words
taken from a sermon I heard many years ago. The
clergyman stated that peace is not the absence of
conflict but how we deal with conflict. And let’s make
no mistake about it-- there will be conflict in the new
year. We humans are hard wired to interact with other
people, but conflict is often the result, leading folks to
exclaim in frustration: Stop the world, I want to get
off!
With a new year and clean slate before us, what
can we do to stay firmly grounded on Planet Earth and
value others, even as we deal with challenging interactions in our lives? Experience has given me some tools
which I want to keep sharpened in 2015.
•
First and foremost, I want to praise those I’m close
to frequently for their many good qualities and tell
them often how much they are treasured.
•
If I feel someone is rooting for me, let the small
stuff go. In the sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond,” the elder Barones used to get into arguments about such nonsensical subjects as who
invented the lawn. One reason this sitcom was
popular—it was so true to life.
Iconic Big Sur Inn
Continues ‘Blue
Plate Specials’
The Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant is bringing back Esther’s Blue Plate Dinner Specials
that were such a success when the iconic establishment continued the celebration of its 80th
anniversary in mid-November.
“We were so delighted by the response
from locals and visitors alike that we will again
be offering these low-cost dinners on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights throughout the
winter,” said Alan Perlmutter, co-owner of the Inn
and Restaurant.
The Blue Plate Dinner Specials, a different
one each night at $7.95, will be Bacon-Wrapped
Meat Loaf, Big Sur Goulash, Pheneger Creek
Trout, all of which were featured starting decades
ago and again in November, “as well as some new
surprises we discovered as we looked back to the
old days,” said Perlmutter. The dinners will be
available from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Perlmutter pointed out that ever since Highway One was closed during El Niño in 1998 the
Inn he had been featuring low-priced “Winter
Wednesdays” dinners.
“Esther’s Blue Plate Specials” are named for
Esther Preiffer Ewoldsen who, with her husband,
Hans, assumed operation of the Inn in 1943 and
changed its name from the Apple Pie Inn to the
River Inn. The establishment originally opened
in 1934.
Perlmutter purchased the landmark inn with
his wife, Nancy Sanders, and some friends in
1988.
The Big Sur River Inn & Restaurant is 26
miles south of Carmel at 46840 Highway One. It
is on the west side of the highway.
If it’s not an earthshaking situation, if principles
are not involved, I want to use humor as a way to
deescalate a minor misunderstanding or inconsequential foul in the game of verbal volleyball.
•
During any discussion, I want to remember the
three steps to successfully expressing thoughts to
another: (l) have the thought (2) quickly assess
how my words will be received by the listener (3)
choose them accordingly to achieve the most positive outcome.
•
I hope to see a situation from the other person’s
point of view and validate that through active
listening. Paraphrasing what has been said—even
an understanding nod—can smooth out a conversational bump in the road.
•
Remembering Mother’s Wisdom for interacting
with others will serve me well, as it still holds true
today: take a few deep breaths, cool off with a
walk around the block, request time to think things
over, compromise, talk over an issue with a trusted
confidant.
•
The “I” message (expressing one’s feelings) as
opposed to using the accusatory “you” is very effective when emotions are running high.
It goes without saying: name calling, labeling,
put downs, profanity and sarcasm can easily cause
conversations to come to an abrupt halt.
As a last resort, distancing may be the best recourse in dealing with conflict.
Cautiously but optimistically marching into 2015,
I want to look for the good in people and recognize it:
from expressing thanks for a job well done to spending an extra few minutes in praise of an employee to
a superior to getting someone with a warm smile and
hello that includes his/her name. If I don’t know or
have forgotten the name, I’ll have the courage to ask.
(Remember how Raymond of the above mentioned
sitcom greets his mother-in-law with “Hello, you!”?)
Will I succeed l00 percent of the time? No way!
But when I fall off the wagon, I’ll resolve to do better
and hop back on. After all, I want 2015 to be my best
year yet!

Obituary

Barbara Russek, a freelance writer, lives in Arizona
but spends summers in PG. She welcomes comments at
Babette2@comcast.net
Nancy Leigh Hillis
Exhibit Opening
The Marjorie Evans Gallery at the Sunset Center is
proud to present “The Map and the Territory,” an exhibition by local artist Nancy Leigh Hillis. The exhibit will
be on display Monday- Friday from 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.,
from January 8-January 30 and is open to the public.
Nancy paints from an improvisational and guttural
place. Inhabiting an attitude of allowing and not knowing,
she activates the canvas with spontaneous marks. She
responds with paint that alternately asserts and obliterates the space. She aspires to paint with the unfiltered
expression and rawness of a child. Nancy is informed
by Keat’s line:
”I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s
affections and the truth of the imagination.”
Nancy’s recent body of work, The Map and the Territory, explores both inner and outer states of consciousness and expression with the concept that there is both
a ‘map’ of these experiences as well as an ineffable and
inexhaustible territory awaiting discovery.
Joelle LeGrand Hathaway
1924 - 2014
Pacific Grove- Mrs. Joelle LeGrand Hathaway, at age 90, peacefully passed at home on December 27, 2014 with her son Pat (caregiver for
the past 30 years,) long-time family friend Inge
Heidrick and her beloved cat Kissa at her bedside.
Joelle was born in Orleans, France and married first husband Pierre Charlie who was killed in
the French Indo-China war, AKA Vietnam War in
1948. On August 28, 1951 Joelle married American Colonel James L. Hathaway in her home
town and moved to Carmel with young son Pat in
May of 1953.
Joelle was a long time cancer survivor and a
paraplegic since 1969, never letting that slow her
down. She learned to drive with manual controls
and could often be seen in her orange Pacer (she
called Pumpkin) about town. She was a long time peninsula resident active
in the Alliance Francaise. She was a gourmet
cook loving to gather family and friends treating
them to gastronomy delight.
The family settled in Pacific Grove in 1958
after Colonel Hathaway’s retirement from the
Army at Fort Ord. Joelle taught French in Carmel
Wood School and she worked in the china department of Holman’s from 1960-64 in Pacific Grove.
Colonel James L. Hathaway passed in 1985.
Along with both husbands, Joelle is predeceased by her mother Alice Pauline Louis in
Pacific Grove in 1964.
Survived by beloved son Pat Hathaway;
step-daughter Anne Hardwick Hathaway Burreson of Olympia, Washington; step-grandchildren
Bob, Mollie, Laura and John Burreson and
numerous great-grandchildren, all of Washington
state.
Sweet Joelle will be sadly missed by all who
knew and loved her. Donations if you wish to a charity of choice.

Steinbeck: The Art of Fiction
Rediscover Steinbeck on Cannery Row
In celebration of literary genius John Steinbeck and in recognition of Steinbeck Country, an exhibit featuring
artistic interpretations of the author’s fiction will be featured at the American Tin Cannery at the west end of Cannery Row beginning January 15.
Sculptor Lew Aytes, photographer Robert Nease and painter Warren Chang have created this exhibit that also
includes the Robert Lewis Exhibit of Cannery Row Photographs (1957-1958). The exhibit was first created for the
National Steinbeck Center by Aytes and Nease, and has been expanded to include Chang’s paintings of fieldworkers, and historic Lewis images of Cannery Row provided by Michael Hemp and The History Company.
Steinbeck was an artist of fiction and a master painter of words. His written illustrations of people and places
draw you in, become real and endure. This exhibit brings together three accomplished California artists who,
through sculpture, photography and paintings, have brought artistic interpretation to some of Steinbeck’s most
memorable works of fiction.
Sculptor Lew Aytes’ 3-dimensional faces represent his visions of Steinbeck’s characters. Commercial and fine
art photographer Robert Nease brings an artist’s eye for lighting and composition to the exhibit, creating interior
images and landscapes that accompany the writer’s story lines. Warren Chang’s paintings portray fieldworkers
within Steinbeck Country that were inspired by the novels, as well as the Monterey Peninsula within which Chang
was born and raised.
The Robert Lewis photographs have been preserved by Michael Hemp of The History Company, and bring a
dimension of historical reality that “Steinbeckians” will find memorable and factual.
The exhibit runs through March 31, and will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10:00-5:00 beginning
January 15. The Opening Reception will be held Friday, January 23 from 6:00-8:00 pm, and is open to the public.
Beverages will include Beer Milkshakes, inspired by Ed Ricketts in the book, Cannery Row. The reception is
being hosted by the Cannery Row Foundation, an organization formed “to preserve the historical and literary resources of Cannery Row… and to research, interpret, educate, disseminate, and celebrate the unique multi-cultural
essence of Cannery Row’s historic, literary, cultural and ecological legacies.”
The exhibit will be located on the second floor of the American Tin Cannery, 125 Ocean View Blvd, Pacific
Grove, just around the corner from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Slant Wells, the Holy Grail
of Ocean Intakes
Public Water Now Water Forum, Open to the public
Monday, January 19, 7 - 8:30 pm.
Unitarian Universalist Church, on Aguajito at Hwy 1 and 68.
Cal Am has proposed to use slant wells under the bay for its intake for the new
desal water supply. Slant wells are the holy grail of ocean intakes.
Did you know that there are no operating slant wells for ocean intake anywhere in
the world? Did you know Cal Am has told the public that one is operating in Spain, but
this is not true? Did you know that state agencies have encouraged using slant wells as
the environmentally superior ocean intake, if feasible? But did you know these same
agencies have not specified "cost" as a necessary criteria for feasibility?
PWN will report on its research of other studies and consultant reports on slant
wells. Yes, test well information is needed. But will there be an authentic evaluation
of slant well feasibility that includes life cycle costs and the risks for an entirely new
and experimental intake?
Come for new information and insights. Time is running short.

Robert Down Elementary PTA Hosts
Annual Taco Night on February 5
Pop quiz: how much does the average teacher spend on his or her classroom a
year? According to a national study, it’s around $1,000. If you were to ask my husband,
he’d probably say twice that amount. Most educators take this in stride, knowing that
it’s part of the job they love. But at Robert Down Elementary in Pacific Grove, teachers are given a generous stipend each year to offset their classroom costs by the PTA
(Parent Teacher Association). They are also encouraged to submit project and field trip
requests for funding.
To help raise this money, the Robert Down Elementary PTA holds a Taco Night
and Silent Auction every February, and each year the small businesses of Pacific Grove
rise to the occasion with donations. With our 2015 auction date of February 6, we’re
happy to announce this year is no different!
We’re incredibly grateful to all the local business owners who have generously
given so far. Walk through the doors of 485 Pine Avenue on Taco Night and you’ll
find gift certificates from local businesses such as Winning Wheels, Pacific Thai, Chef
Pepe, Lalla’s, The Hat Shop, Om Oasis, Monterey Film Festival, Santa Catalina’s
theatre program and more. You can bid on birthday parties from the SPCA, Rising
Star Gymnastics and Sugar N Spice. You will find family photography packages from
Laura Hernandez, Creative Images, Carmel Photography, Good Eye and Rachel Zee
Photography. You can make good on your New Year’s Resolution and sign up for a
race-we’ll have 4 different ones to bid on! Or you can come ready to find your dream
vacation-wine tours, tropical vacations and a trip to the Emmys (yes-THE EMMYS!!)
are all up for grabs. With over 120 items (the number grows each day!), you can find
many ways to support your local elementary while treating yourself.
Circle February 6 on your calendar and head on over to RHDTacoNight.Eventbrite.
com for your dinner tickets (the auction is free!). If you are a local business and would
like to donate to the auction, please e-mail Kat Uppman at kuppman@pgusd.org. We
look forward to celebrating both our school community and our business community
with you on Feb. 6.

40 Days to a Healthier Life Style:
The Daniel Plan Book Study
Mayflower Presbyterian Church is offering a 6-week study of the book: The Daniel
Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life Style. The book is written by Pastor Rick Warren, Dr.
Mark Hyman, MD, and Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist. The study will assist participants
to revolutionize their health as they began a journey to transform their life physically,
emotionally and spiritually. The Daniel Plan was designed to be done in a support
group. When it comes to getting healthy, two are always better than one. Research has
revealed that people getting healthy together lose twice as much weight as those who
do it alone. The Daniel Plan shows attendees how the powerful combination of faith,
fitness, food, focus, and friends will change their health forever, transforming them in
the most head-turning way imaginably – from the inside out.

Powerful Reasons to Write Your Life Story
power of Guided Autobiography. You pick
a topic – in this case, Career – and you
write a short essay on a defining moment in
your life as it relates to the topic. Through
the process of writing and sharing – usually with fellow students in class, in this
example with the readers of Cedar Street
Times – you gain a new clarity, a fresh
understanding of past events.
Dr. James Birren, the founder of
Guided Autobiography, says, “I have
learned from autobiography that humans
are adaptable … our interpretations of our
lives influence the decisions we make. The
self we tell ourselves we are, the narrative
self, appears to influence the decisions
we make in life. Autobiography reveals
the individual’s theory about himself or
herself, how they explain their life. It
leads to the idea that one’s self, the self
we tell ourselves, is in a sense a personal
theory, a theory that provides direction
for decisions and actions in everyday life.
Here lies a possible connection between
the autobiographical stories of life and
the decisions that individuals have made
and the directions their lives have taken.”
Of course, your reasons for writing
your life story need not be so lofty. Guided
Autobiography offers a terrific method
for simply organizing your thoughts and
getting your words on paper. Writing a
memoir or autobiography seems like such
a huge project, so daunting, that most
people give up before they even start. Plus,
for most folks who are not naturally drawn
to the literary arts, writing is a lonely pursuit and simply isn’t much fun. A Guided
Autobiography class meets both of those
challenges head on – it breaks down the
process into small, easily-accomplished
projects, and it becomes enjoyable by
sharing our stories with others.
Casting the Events of Our Lives
in a Positive Light
There are many reasons to leave a
written record of our lives. Patricia and
I have written frequently in this column
about the difference that it can make in
building strong families, how children who
know their family’s history, traditions, and
legacy grow up more resilient and capable
of handling life’s challenges. But for those
of us without children or grandchildren, it
can be a wonderful tool for reviewing the
events of our lives and casting them in a
new, positive light. Dr. Birren’s research
shows that people who have put their life
story on paper and shared it with others
have fewer regrets at the end of their lives.
As for me, I’ve never regretted not
getting a teaching credential. Despite the
odds, I was lucky enough to have a rewarding and satisfying career in journalism,
first in print and later on breaking down
the barriers that kept women out of the
broadcast newsrooms.
And yet … here I am, some 40 years
later, with a certificate from the Birren
Institute authorizing me to teach Guided
Autobiography – and I think Dad would
have been proud.
Note: Joyce Krieg and Patricia Hamilton will be leading a 10-week session
of Guided Autobiography classes starting this coming Wednesday, Jan. 21, at
the Masonic Lodge in downtown Pacific
Grove. Space is filling fast! To register, go

Joyce Krieg
Keepers of our Culture
By Joyce Krieg
My dad always wanted me to get a
teaching credential. As I prepared to graduate from San Jose State with a bachelor’s
degree in journalism, the hints he would
drop grew more frequent: why not stick
around for another year and get a teaching
credential? But I was young and eager to
set the world on fire with my newly-printed
diploma, following in the footsteps of my
ink-stained heroes: Woodward and Bernstein, Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson.
So I always responded with, “No way!”
So it is with a great sense of coming
full circle – not to mention a drop of irony
– that I find myself some 40 years later
earning a certificate to teach Guided Autobiography and setting out to do just that.
My dad was actually quite enlightened for a male of his generation – Great
Depression, World War II – when it came
to women’s roles in our culture. He felt
strongly that his daughter, and all girls,
should be prepared to earn her own living,
learn a marketable job skill, and never rely
on a man for her economic survival. But
his forward-thinking only went so far, just
covering the typical and expected careers
for women of the era: secretary, nurse, or
teacher.
So when he kept bringing up the subject of a teaching credential, the younger
version of me just got defensive, feeling as
if he was rejecting my decision to become
a crusading journalist – and that he didn’t
believe I could do it. For years, I carried
around pain that my dad didn’t believe in
me or my dreams.
But now, with the perspective of some
40 years, I can see that he was only looking
out for my best interests. For sure, journalism isn’t an easy field to break into, then
or now. Not only was it a crowded field,
but most newsrooms in those days weren’t
exactly rolling out the red carpet for job
applicants of the fairer sex, Nellie Bly
notwithstanding. So I’m sure that in Dad’s
mind, a teaching credential would have
simply been a safety net, a Plan B if the
newspaper reporter thing didn’t work out.

five paragraphs, is a mini-example of the

Sailing with
the gray
whales in
Monterey Bay
The whale experts with the Monterey
Bay Chapter of the American Cetacean
Society have scheduled an annual fundraising trip on Sunday, Jan. 25, to catch the
peak of the gray whale migration. The trip
will cost $40 and the boat will leave from
Princess Whale Watching on Monterey’s
Fisherman’s Wharf at 8 a.m. The trip is
expected to take about two hours.
The Cetacean Society’s experts on
board will point out the giant animals and
any other whales that might be in the bay
that day, as well as dolphins, sea birds and
other marine life.
More than 20,000 gray whales pass
through Monterey Bay each winter on
their southern migration to Mexico’s Gulf
of California. The group migration has
started and the numbers that can be seen
in the bay should be getting larger each
day with the peak expected in late January.
The whales tend to be more scattered on
the return migration to Alaska in spring
months.
The gray whales trip is one of the two
whale watching events each year the local
chapter of the cetacean society sponsors
to raise funds for its publications and research grants to college students exploring
the biology and behavior of whales and
dolphins..
Reservations are strongly recommended for the trip and are available
online at montereywhaleatching.com or by
calling (831) 372-2203. More information
is available at the cetacean society’s Web
site at www.acsmb.org, or by calling Tony
Lorenz at (831) 901-7259.
Spend Burns
Night with
Taelen Thomas
and
Laura Burian
Poetical showman Taelen
Thomas intones the amazing works
of the great Scottish bard Robert
Burns, accompanied by accomplished violinist Laura Burian of
“Heartstrings,” performing the
favorite fiddle music of Burns.
This lively show will be
presented in the context of Burns’s
wild and passionate life, on the eve
of his birthday, as dramatized by
both artists, with an emphasis on
Burns’s classic “Auld Lang Syne,”
and the stories behind many of his
other well-known songs.
In addition to writing his own
often thrilling, funny, heartbreaking and revolutionary poetry and
songs, Burns collected and preserved over 200 traditional Scottish
songs, many of which found their
way to America, especially to
Appalachia, where Laura Burian
learned to play them on the fiddle,
which was Burns’s own instrument
of choice.
This performance will take
place on Saturday, January 24,
2015, at 7:30 pm, at The Carmel
Art Association, on Dolores between 5th and 6th, across the street
from Pilgrim’s Way Community
Bookstore and Secret Garden.
Admission is $10 in advance (at
Pilgrim’s Way or online www.
pilgrimsway.com) and $15 at the
door. Information: 624-4955 or

Uneven lies....uphill shots and downhill shots really confuse players. If you think
about it, most golf courses are not flat; they all have uphills and downhills all
over the course. Here is a good tip: When you have an uneven lie, adjust your
shoulders to the slope of the hill. This will allow the golf club to travel along the
slope of the hill to get the ball up in the air. Remember, wherever you play golf,
the course probably is not flat. It will have uneven lies so adjust your shoulders
to the hill to hit better shots.
