Primary Election: Signs of the Times

Make up your mind before you get to the polls -- unlike the permanent road sign on Skyline Forest. Katie Shain caught the juxtaposition recently, which speaks volumes about the current slate of candidates.

Miller chosen to replace Lindsay on City Council

At a special city council meeting on June 2, Dan Miller was chosen to fill the vacancy left by Deborah Lindsay, who resigned because her family is moving to Santa Cruz.

Miller, a former Planning Commissioner who has often addressed the council on issues such as the consolidation of the fire department with Monterey, on the tree ordinance issue, the public/private agreement with the Museum Foundation and CalPERS, was chosen over four other applicants, including Khalil Ibrahim, Rudy Fischer, Bill Fredrickson and Richard Ahart. A sixth applicant, Laura Dadiw, withdrew her application.

Miller told the assembly that he wants to focus on the issue of financial stability for the city as well.

In one of his first actions as a councilmember, Miller voted against an extension of the lease for the Museum to the Museum Foundation, saying that part of the reason for pushing the agreement was accreditation for the Museum but that there is still no accreditation. He was the lone dissenting vote.

The lease with the Museum Foundation was extended from 15 to 30

Tom Pollacci facesadditional charges of forcible rape

Tom Pollacci, convicted April 26 of one count of forcible rape, was to be arraigned on June 3 on three additional counts of rape against two separate victims, according to the office of Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo. One rape took place in April 2007 and the other two in the fall of 2008. The alleged victims are not among the women who testified against Pollacci at his recent trial.

Pollacci, 50, is a resident of Pebble Beach. He was to be sentenced June 4 for the previous conviction but the sentencing could be delayed because of the new charges.

Remanded into custody after the conviction on the first charge, Pollacci remains in custody.

A spokesman for the District Attorney’s office indicated that an appeal is expected on that first charge.

Fairness, Respect, and Dignity The Monterey County Sheriff’s Department

Deserves New LeadershipThat’s Why the Monterey County Prosecutors Association

Endorsed Scott Miller for Monterey County Sheriff

Friends and Neighbors:I decided to run for sheriff after watching serious contro-versies within the Sheriff’s Department. Allegations of failed policies, overbearing tactics, and the on-going community outrage made my decision clear.

With six years as a police chief, seventeen years with the Salinas Police Department, four years as a deputy sheriff, and four years as an elected city council member, I have the skills and judgement to return fairness, respect, and dignity to the Office of the Monterey County Sheriff. Please visit my website to view my resume and learn more about my priorities as Sheriff of Monterey County.Sincerely,

Bicycle race this weekendPacific Grove Butterfly Criterium June 6

A popular National Prestige Classic bicycle race of the 1970ʼs, the Butterfly Criterium made its return to the picturesque town of Pacific Grove, California in 2009. The event was a success for the Central and Northern California cycling community and the town of Pacific Grove. The race provides a great weekend of racing and relaxation for both fans and racers.

The race returns bigger and better in 2010. In addition to the regular categories of male racing, the Butterfly Criterium will be a Northern California Women's Racing Series event providing women a greater number of classes and strong purses to help promote women's cycling and racing in Northern California.

The popular kids race for children 10-and-under returns, with medals and MY Museum passes (click to view) for participants (subject to availability).

Course: The .7-mile course circulates the heart of downtown Pacific Grove. Pro Men averaged 28-mph laps in 2009. The race starts on Lighthouse Avenue, heading west on a slight downhill for a right turn around the Pacific Grove Post Office, then a big downhill sweeper delivering riders to Central Avenue and the Centrella Straight. Racers follow Central past historic Chatauqua Hall, the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, the PG Museum and Library before turning right on Fountain and up the short Kidwell’s Climb. A right back onto Lighthouse takes riders up a 300-meter long, slight incline to the finish.

The News … from 1910.Milk and sugar on your peanut shells?

The Pure Food company, maker of breakfast cereals, is accused of cheating. While cleaning up after a train wreck, Federation of Workers laborers discovered several box cars filled with shredded peanut shells addressed to Pure Food. According to spokesperson John Fitzpatrick, it is alleged that the peanut shells, chopped, are being substituted for grain. 1

Chamber of Commerce meetsThe Chamber of Commerce met last Wednesday, accomplishing the following

business:Mr. F. Christianson was admitted to membership.A letter from Mrs. Harriet Roderick was read. The letter expressed her thanks to

the board for the honor extended to her late husband at the time of his funeral.The secretary was instructed to determine the cost of advertising in the West Coast

magazine, which plans a feature article on Monterey and Pacific Grove.Arrangements were made for delegates to attend the state meeting in Sacramento.

Travel arrangements are being made with Southern Pacific.The Chamber will become more active in advocating the “Gospel of Good Roads”.

Throughout the county, roads are bad, but they are terrible between Salinas and King City. The Salinas to Monterey road also needs considerable work.

New laundry uses steamThe Pacific Clothing Renovatory has opened for business. Located at the foot of

Alvarado street where it can best serve customers from both Pacific Grove and Monterey, owner A. C. Dague promises the very best clothing care possible … using heated H2O.

Dague says: “Clothing is never immersed in soap and water, but gets gently cleaned by exposure to steam.”

Your dirty clothes will be called for and delivered back to you as good as new. The Renovatory may be telephoned by asking for Main 298. 2

Bank of E. Cooke Smith doing businessWhat is your future? The wisest prophet cannot say whether tomorrow’s sun will

Notes from around the area…• The California Oil World magazine predicts that 1911 will see a daily

production of 142,000 barrels, up 10,000 barrels from 1910.• Found: a pretty chain with charm. Owner may reclaim by describing and paying

the 50¢ this ad cost. Call at J. D. Veal’s Barber Shop.• Wanted: a good, lively man who resides in the Grove to handle sales for

Invisible Castor Products. Contact Western Supply and Specialty Co, 509 West Bank Building, San Francisco. 5

• M. Kinser & Company must reduce its stock and is selling quality shoes at reduced prices. Come in and browse our bargains.

Cost of living…• Dry pine for your fireplace or stove. $6 per cord. Oak, $8 per cord. Monterey

• Rent a pasture for your horse. $1.50 per month. See W. T. Mitchell.

Notes1 Without proper government supervision, the food industry frequented such

scams on the public. Research revealed no information relating to nutritional values for peanut husks. Baby Ruth and O Henry candy bars, utilizing peanuts, did not come along until 1920, ten years in the future.

2 In truth, steam cleaning is for rugs, vapor cleaning for clothes. 95% of the water content is removed from vapor which is applied at temperatures lower than steam.

3 Telephones, invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell, were relatively new. Networks were not possible until the development of the switchboard by Trivadar Puskas, a Hungarian inventor. Originally, no more than 50 telephones could be inter-connected through each switchboard. The switchboard would be identified by the word preceding the telephone number, as in Main, Red, Crop, Center, etc.

4 The price-war tussle between the Work Theater and D’s Theater continues. Compare the D’s ad for living pictures (flickers) with the Work ad, presented above in the Cost of Living section. Notice, too, the unusual addition to Work’s program.

5 Castors were condiment containers (as cruets, mustard pot, salt and pepper and spice shakers, cream pitchers, etc.) for table use. These were evidently termed “invisible” because they were formed of clear glass.

More than 75 homeowners, designers, contractors and others packed the new exhibit room at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History for the Heritage Society’s 32nd Annual House Awards presentation on May 28. Nine buildings received awards, including two commercial projects and one award for new construction. The awards were framed and matted by Glenn Gobel Custom Framing, and Fournier’s Bakery & Café provided refreshments.

Donna Stewart hosted the ceremony, which started with an informative talk by Neal Hotelling on “Pacific Improvement in Pacific Grove.” Pacific Improvement was a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and controlled much of the land in Pacific Grove around the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.

On May 27, Pacific Grove Middle School principal Mary Riedel promoted 138 of her students to the ninth grade. Of those, 35 were identified as holding a 4.0 grade point average.

In the Performing Arts Center, beneath a banner that had seen eight graduates of the Community High School the night before, the middle school graduates gathered as Katy Ohsiek presided over the ceremony. Inspiring speeches were interlaced with stirring musical performances in an impressive display of intellect and talent. Speeches included “Don’t Lose Your Keys,” from Mary Riedel; “Making a Difference,” from Carol Nader; “How to Properly Construct a Building,” from Brian Long; and “Today and Tomorrow,” from Stephanie Samaniego.

Musical selections were “Sarabande,” Kristine Pak on flute, accompanied by Cole Smith; “Waltz No. 14,” a piano solo by Mina Chen; “The Wind Beneath My Wings,” sung by Joanna Garcia, Sonia Garfinkel, Nicole Hage, Candice Surh and Lauren Thuesen; and “The Swan,” Kaitlin Alt on cello, accompanied by Eric Kim.

The Works hosts talk with sports writer Rick Reilly

Sportswriter and New York Times best selling author Rick Reilly will take time away from his duties at the US Open to make an appearance at The Works bookstore in Pacific Grove on Wednesday, June 16 at 7:00 p.m. A random call from Random House Publishing to The Works owner, Robert Marcum, secured this appearance usually reserved for larger metro-centered bookstores.

“We’re pleased that Random House thought to include a small town independent bookstore in this award winning writer’s book tour, and just thrilled it was ours,” confirms Marcum, “The event will take place between Reilly’s busy ESPN schedule at the US Open, hopefully drawing some visiting golf fans into town for an up close and personal meeting with this sports legend.”

Rick Reilly, voted Sports Writer of the Year 11 times, takes on the “Search for the World’s Dumbest Competition” in his new book, “Sports From Hell.” After setting a few guidelines that included “I don’t want to die covering it,” Reilly explores why people would participate in sports such as Chess Boxing, Bull Poker, and Zorbing. Over a dozen first hand accounts of these unique sports are delivered with laugh-out-

Norma and Richard Mayer in Concert, at the Pacific Grove Art Center, Sun., June 13, 2010, 3:00 p.m. $10 at the door. Norma and Richard Mayer play a fiery brand of chamber music not often associated with rare musical blend -- music for unaccompanied voice and flute. They have performed to great acclaim from Russia to France to California, with points in between, with a vast repertoire encompassing early music, classical music, African-American spirituals, show tunes, and jazz. Their combined sounds manage to conjure up cathedrals and opera stages, with stops in the Elysium Fields along the way.

Norma and Richard were thrown together by chance in the musical cauldron of Austin, Texas in the late 1980’s, where a rich brew of country, classical, and popular music attracted international attention. Their early concerts drew upon a diverse audience, fitting for an unusual repertoire, which has expanded over the years to include their own dynamic arrangements of operatic arias, songs, and spirituals.Enjoy their diverse repertoire, and support the nonprofit PG Art Center.

Seeking singers for Threshold ChoirThreshold Choirs honor the ancient tradition of singing at the bedsides of people

who are struggling: some with living, some with dying. The voice, as the original human instrument, is a true and gracious vehicle for compassion and comfort. The choirs provide opportunities for women to share the sacred gifts of their voices at life’s thresholds.

The music is easy to learn and singers to not need to know how to read music to participate. We are currently carpooling to Tuesday evening practices in Aromas or Santa Cruz and should be ready to begin rehearsing in the Monterey Peninsula by the end of June.

Please call Susie Joyce, 831-658-0663, if you wish to participate. For more information about Threshold Choir, please visit the website, thresholdchoir.org., or check them out on You Tube.

OpinionYour letters

The Paradox of PGPacific Grove is the only destination I know where tourists really and truly

enjoy themselves. Look at them on the Rec Trail: young lovers, old lovers, singles, parents, kids, even babies – all happy. Families laughing and pedaling furiously along in their silly little bicycle-cart rentals. Folks sitting on benches, gazing out – at peace. In town, shoppers soaking up the ambiance. The pleasure radiates off them as they let themselves slow down, make discoveries and exchange pleasantries.

When asked what they like about PG, they start stuttering and glowing. For all the world, it’s as if they’ve fallen in love. What comes out is usually more than “What a lovely town.” It’s “I want to move here, I want to live here.” How often have you heard that? Once upon a time, you might have said it yourself.

What explains this passion of strangers? Why do they want to move in with us? I’ve asked, and it’s surprising to me how often they give the same reason: they love the old-fashioned character of our town. They feel like they’ve found their way back to an earlier time in America – just like the man in a classic Twilight Zone episode, “Last Stop At Willoughby.” In that story, escaping from modern urban culture was more important than life itself.

Wherever they look, visitors see signs of PG’s old-fashioned character – Good Old Days, flags and banners waving, the courtesies, the frequently missing sidewalks, even an occasional car parked on the wrong side of a quiet street, and so much more. Above all, they are drawn by the colorful hodgepodge of plain and fancy houses and shops, mostly old, on our no-two-are-alike streets.

But passion burns, not for buildings or events, but for what those things symbolize, for what our visitors hope life was like 100 years ago, and maybe what it can be for them again – easy-going, uncomplicated, unrestricted, friendly, live-and-let-live, safe, self-reliant, affordable. There’s the old-fashioned character that tourists are yearning for. It’s what most humans yearn for, isn’t it?

So what about us, the actual inhabitants of this idyll from the past? Are we all happy? At peace? Does the pleasure radiate off us? I don’t think so. Since out-of-towners are here briefly, while we residents get to be here all the time, it stands to reason that we’d be downright ecstatic. And yet….

The paradox. I think those of you who have lived in many places, as I have, will agree there’s been more anger and intolerance in our town than in the average community. Also, it’s easy to see that our lives are more regulated, more expensive and less prosperous than in many other places. Worse than paradox, isn’t it? It’s irony. Why these sad facts?

Consider: for a long time, our old-fashioned character has been eaten away from within, like a historic home with termites. Some activists in Pacific Grove would turn us into an ever more strictly regulated condo association, with themselves in charge of the strict regulating, of course. We deserve what we get if we haven’t learned this lesson by now: beware the urban planners and petty dictators seeking positions of power in our little town. When it comes time to vote, favor the ones who truly want to serve you, not control you. When faced with those committee members who feel free to inflict their whims on your life, stand up to them, and speak up about them.

We are not and have never been a planned community, despite best efforts dating back to 1875. We have no unified look, or unified anything else for that matter. We are a richly diverse jumble. The true key to our old-fashioned character, which we must not lose, is our freedom to be different.

In order to find more peace and happiness as a community, we have to confront and answer a couple of questions. Do we want to steer a course towards the appearance of an old-fashioned town, or more towards the reality of one? Do we want to continue surrendering our guidance to activists, or do we want to bring about solutions that make sense to mainstream PGers?

And there are solutions in the realm of housing, for example, that may actually work for most of us – minimal restrictions for non-historic homes; implementation of non-historic districts; simpler, clearer rules and uniform enforcement for sensibly-defined historic homes – but we cannot get there without an epiphany of new respect for the rights of individual property owners, and solemn recognition of the cost to our neighbors whom we would burden with micro-management. The more we try to freeze time, the more we freeze out those who cannot afford higher costs which always come with more regulation. How many historic homes have we seen falling apart because the city puts renovation out of reach?

As I write, I realize this may seem like campaign literature. Well, no – running for office is not what I’m doing. I’m expressing a viewpoint that I don’t think is heard often enough among activists in and around City Hall. And that leads me to two last paradoxes.

One: if you decide that activists should no longer have such a free hand in running PG, then you yourself must become one – in your own way.

Two: If you really want to bring back the reality of an old-fashioned town, then you must use your activism to cool community anger, not stoke it.

We’ve been through an awful lot in the past few years. To the activists I say let’s take a breather. Let’s stop fixing what ain’t broke and reinventing the wheel. Bottom line, let’s once again see if we can lead the easy-going, uncomplicated, unrestricted, friendly, live-and-let-live, safe, self-reliant, affordable, old-fashioned lives that tourists think we lead. Then maybe we can be as happy as they are in our beloved PG.

Stop plastic pollution: Ban the bagsThe California State Assembly has now passed AB 1998, which would

begin a phase-out of all single-use plastic bags at supermarkets, pharmacies, convenience and liquor stores in the entire state. The bill will reduce the more than 19 billion single-use bags distributed annually in California and will encourage reusable bags. It is estimated that less than 5 percent of these bags are currently recycled.

The bill also provides for the purchase by consumers of paper bags with high levels of recycled content -- 40 percent post consumer -- at their actual cost, which is estimated at 5 to 8 cents per bag. In Washington, DC for example, their 5-cent “fee” on grocery bags is credited with reducing single-use plastic bag use by 65 percent.

The bill is supported by retailers, environmental groups, local governments and labor groups. Former Mayor Dan Cort has worked statewide to see this bill passed.

Having traveled widely, we have seen how these bags are choking rivers and streams, polluting our oceans and killing our wildlife. Even in the most remote areas of China and Viet Nam we have seen single-use plastic bags caught on snags in rivers and blowing around in fields and on roads where one would think plastic had never been introduced. We have seen them caught in trees in Turkey and floating miles out to sea off the coast of Ireland.

The bill now goes to the Senate and Governor Schwarzenegger’s office has indicated that he will likely sign the bill.

We strongly urge Pacific Grove residents to write, email or call the California Senate to urge passage of the bill.

We also urge our fellow citizens not to wait until the bill passes to begin phasing out the use of plastic bags. Reusable bags are inexpensive, and even free. And they’re not only better for our world but they’re stronger than either plastic or paper.

Headlights on in foggy PG: It’s the LawEditor:

Attention, California drivers..there is a two year old law on the books that says if you are using your windshield wipers, then it is required that your headlights be on.

With all the crappy weather, about half the cars I see with their wipers going full blast and no headlights on.

If you already were aware of this please pass on to all you think who are not. I have a neighbor who is a CHP officer and he has already given tickets for this. Not sure how much it cost, but not worth the hassle.

Primary and Special Election:Some voters may be confused

The Monterey County Elections Department will begin mailing election-related materials for the June 22 Special Primary Election to fill a vacancy in Senate District 15, vacated by Abel Maldonado.

There are approximately 91,962 registered voters in Senate District 15. The deadline to register to vote for that election, for those who are not yet registered or who have moved, is Monday, June 7, just one day ahead of the June 8 Statewide Primary Election. The local sample ballot and voter information pamphlet and vote by mail ballots will hit the US Mail stream beginning on Saturday, May 29 and Tuesday, June 1.

Color Coded: In an effort to help voters keep the June 8 and June 22 materials in order, the Department has used blue return vote by mail ballot envelopes and a blue cover for the information pamphlet. For June 22, those materials are green.

Not the same “primary”: Voters may also recognize that the ballot for the June 22 Special Primary Election contains all qualified candidates, regardless of party affiliation. This is unlike the typical primary system in California where voters will only vote on candidates from their own political party and where non-partisan voters are the only voters who may choose to cross over to a political party to cast their vote.

For more information on the June 22 Special Primary Election, visit www.montereycountyelections.us or the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ca.gov

There is a new, earnest face behind the wheel of Pacific Grove police cars. Meet Commander John Miller.

Miller’s family has a tradition of public service: his dad a firefighter, his mom a dispatcher. Miller became a Contra Costa County reserve officer at age 21, and earned his first full-time position in Vacaville in 1995. He extended his range to include K-9 and SWAT, and then went looking for more.

Miller landed in Vallejo and worked there on the SWAT team and as a community services officer. “I was promoted to sergeant,” Miller says, adding that he also became the range master and managed the arsenal.

Last January, Miller was in third in line for a promotion to lieutenant when cutbacks struck. He and 17 other Vallejo officers were reduced in rank to create payroll deductions. By then, the city of Vallejo had gone from 158 sworn officers down to 95. Miller saw no further opportunity there for professional growth and started looking around.

At the same time, Pacific Grove had posted an opening for a second commander to lift some of the load from John Nyunt. In PG, the rank of commander is a blend of lieutenant and captain. Miller nailed the job and was sworn in on May 19.

So far in his career, Miller has received the Medal of Valor and 3 medals of merit. He holds a Masters in Public Administration and is an avid outdoorsman. Miller is very enthusiastic about his new assignment. His wife and children are still in Solano County while the kids finish their school year. They will soon join Commander Miller for “the big adventure.”

The Green PageBy Cameron Douglas

How can a love of nature and gardening integrate with modern technology on a compact piece of Pacific Grove property? Residents John and Vicki Pearse pondered that question and came up with some inventive ways to go about it. These members of Sustainable Pacific Grove have installed two systems designed to capture rain and sunlight, with excellent results.

Ever thought about those vacuum-packed jars of olives and other marinated vegetables that you find at the market? They don’t ship that way from Spain. They steam across the Atlantic in 55-gallon barrels made from food-grade plastic. These are quite abundant, and they only travel one-way. This leaves importers with a problem: what to do with all those barrels? A new solution has appeared. People constructing rain catchment systems benefit by recycling these sturdy, readily available barrels and giving them a simple cleaning before use. They are perfect for the purpose of rain catchment.

After attending Roger Manley’s rainwater harvesting workshop, the Pearses obtained 11 olive barrels and set them in unobtrusive locations around the

Fire and RainPG homeowners harness nature’s abundant energy and water

house and garden. The Pearses’ rain catchment system

is simple. Water runs off the slanted roof, down a pipe and into an open barrel. The top of the barrel is covered with screening to prevent mosquito problems and keep leaves out. The main barrel that catches the water is connected to several others in a series. The other barrels are sealed. A spigot near the bottom of the first barrel allows a hose to be hooked up for watering. “The barrels collect about a quarter of what falls off the roof,” says John. “We could get more if we had more room.”

Pacific Grove Senior Planner Sarah Hardgrave confirms that such simple systems, which collect rainwater in small barrels instead of large, obtrusive tanks, do not require a permit. “I think we need to encourage people to find ways to irrigate without using potable water,” Hardgrave said.

The solar systems are a bit more complex. One system powers the house; the other heats water. All of the solar panels face to the south, which conveniently hides them from view along Ocean View Boulevard, where John and Vicki live. The water heating system starts with two large, special panels that heat water directly as it flows through. The main solar system uses

18 panels. These photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into direct current [the type a car uses], which then runs through a device that converts it to alternating house current. And here’s the catch: that AC current doesn’t go to the house. It runs through a special meter installed by PG&E that measures in both directions. PG&E calculates what the Pearses are generating against what they are taking in from the grid. John reports

their typical monthly bill is a $4 service charge.

In other words, the Pearses are making electricity, but they are still on the grid. When the grid goes down, the Pearse house goes dark. “We would have to install batteries to be completely self-sufficient,” John explains.

The Green PageGrove installed the solar panels. There is a hearing process for such installations, which, fortunately, according to Vicki, has become more streamlined.

Solar panels continue to increase and find new uses, from parking meters to power plants. According to sources, photovoltaic production has been doubling every two years, increasing by an average of 48 percent since 2002, making it the world’s fastest growing energy technology.

In the process of building their systems, the Pearses got other ideas. This often happens: setting up a sustainable system opens the eyes to other possibilities. The Pearses realized they could further reduce their electrical consumption by setting up an old-fashioned clothesline in dry weather instead of using their 220-volt dryer for every load. The line runs along the rear of their property, up high in the open air.

And fog? “At this point, we produce all of the power that we use,” John says. That varies depending on how

cold the weather gets. “Right now, we’re producing slightly positive,” says Vicki. The system, called a “3 kilowatt system,” produces about 18 kilowatt hours at any one time, says Pearse.

There is the matter of cost for solar systems. John points out there is little difference in the amount of a loan and the amount paid to a utility company over the 12 years he estimates it will take for his system to pay for itself. He figures it’s pretty much the same either way. The reward comes in using what’s already here, and doing something good for the planet.
