Contract negotiations between Save Mart-Lucky Stores and United Food and Commercial Workers Union continued all day until late hours on May 30, but as of press time negotiators were unable to reach an agreement and a strike remains possible, though there has been no strike vote. There is no agreement and the current contract expired six months ago, but was extended until this week.

Talks between the union and two other chains, Raley’s-Nob Hill and Safeway, are also ongoing.

Rank-and-file employees at the Country Club Gate Save Mart store, who declined to be identified, say they are prepared to go out. Local 5 of the UFCW has voted for a strike against Raley’s-Nob Hill, but as yet have not agreed to strike against Save Mart-Lucky’s or Safeway Stores.

“Only the union can call a strike. To date, the union has not called for nor have they indicated that they will take a strike vote,” said Alicia Rockwell, press information officer for Save Mart stores.

The union advised its members that, although the contract has expired, “we have not reached impasse” and that workers should continue to report for work as scheduled. The union says that it is not yet at a crisis point and that working without a contract is not unusual. UFCW 8-Golden State President Jacques Loveall said Wednesday negotiations are continuing with Save Mart.

“The company has been forthcoming with information about its financial status and we are focused on solutions” to issues the company faces, Loveall said. “To date, Save Mart has done nothing to provoke a labor dispute.”

The union’s information officer, Mike Henneberry, said they were surprised when Raley’s-Nob Hill took a hard line and said it had made

Something fishy this way comes! Researchers at Stanford Uni-versity’s Hopkins Marine Station have identified trace amounts of the Cesium-134 in Pacific Bluefin Tuna that swim the Pacific Ocean from one end to the other as part of their annual migration patterns.

Daniel Madigan, a Ph.D candidate with Stanford’s Hop-kins Marine Station, and others sampled 15 individual Bluefin Tuna caught last August (2011) in San Diego, and reported that all of them contained unusually high levels of the radioisotope Cesium-134. Madigan and the other researchers involved in this finding are fairly certain that the high levels of Cesium present in the Bluefin is actually fallout from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster that occurred after the tsunami that rocked Japan in March of 2011. They’ve based these findings on previ-ous samples of Bluefin and other fish in the Sea of Japan prior to the disaster, and have reported that the levels of Cesium in these animals were virtually non-existent.

It was reported shortly after the disaster that area surround-ing the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was contaminated with Cesium-134 and 137, as well as Iodine-131. These radioisotopes are unstable versions of their more common counterparts, ordi-nary Cesium is used in atomic clocks, while Iodine (in very small levels) is essential to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland in humans, (think iodized salt). However, these radioisotopes experience a form of decay termed radioactive decay, where their mass slowly decreases with time, until they eventually decay into nothing. Scientists measure the time it takes for isotopes to decay

Thanks to a successful 2008 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), the Fire De-partment replaced all portable and mobile radios several years ago. A new AFG was recently awarded and will provide funding to upgrade all Fire Department radios to be in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission’s P25 narrow-banding requirements well in advance of the FCC’s January 2013 deadline. The Next Genera-tion (NGEN) Radio Project initiated this County-wide upgrade, which replaces the existing public safety and local government voice and data radio networks, including: radios, portables, base station equipment, repeaters, and radio control systems with inter-operable narrowband and digital trunking technologies.

a “last, best and final offer” and called for mediation. “We had offered mediation three times and were turned down flat,” said Henneberry. Union members took a strike vote and returned a 96 percent pro-strike vote against Raley’s Nob Hill.

The “elephant in the room,” said Henneberry, is escalating health care costs and the “growing labor cost disparity” between Save Mart and its non-union competitors. The union says it is trying to reach an agreement that protects its members while “dealing with demonstrated economic challenges” faced by the company.

The UFCW seeks more full-time jobs [more employees in the the range of those receiving healthcare benefits] and higher minimum hours guarantees for senior em-ployees. The company has made an offer which included “many of the proposed cuts that had been rejected by UFCW negotiators as unacceptable and too severe long ago.” said the union in a prepared statement. “Union attempts to reach agreement on a further contract extension were met with a flat no,” they said.

Raley’s-Nob Hill seeks cuts in health care benefits and premium pay and also wants to eliminate health care benefits for retirees.

Safeway Stores and the union have scheduled further negotiations on June 6 and 7. “Safeway is the first of the major companies to acknowledge the fact that it must provide additional funding for our health care benefits,” said a union spokesperson.

Save Mart-Lucky’s is not yet at an impasse and there are many issues which have not yet been discussed. “We assume they’ll be back at the table soon,” said Henneberry.

Of the three chains, Henneberry sees Safeway Stores as the most economically healthy and the most willing to negotiate.

to one half of their original mass, and call that length of time a half life.Radioisotopes Iodine-131 and Cesium-137 are byproducts of nuclear reactors, and

are typically disposed of safely, when the reactor is functioning properly. In the case of Fukushima-Daiichi, fallout from the disaster entered the atmosphere in the areas around the plant, and has, evidently, entered the ocean.

Since the Bluefin were caught in August 2011, the Iodine-131 had long since decayed, as it has a half life of only a week. Cesium-134 has a half life of two years, while Cesium-137 has a half life of around 30 years, so those isotopes are likely to stay around for a while.

While the samples caught last August contained about 10 times the ordinary Ce-sium levels, under the government’s allowable amounts they pose no health risk to the animals or people who eat them. The question remains to be answered regarding the levels of the isotopes in this year’s Bluefin Tuna population, which will have had over a year’s worth of time, rather than the five months the Bluefin caught last August had, to be exposed to radioisotopes in the Sea of Japan.

Researchers have maintained that the presence of these isotopes in the Pacific in such low levels offers them a safe and easy opportunity to track the Bluefin, and other animals, to learn more about their migration patterns, as reported in Nature Magazine several days ago. Researchers have apparently exploited situations like this before, most notably to study currents in the Black Sea using Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 released by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

Click It or Ticket to boost seat belt use – day and night

Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts – beware. The 2012 start-of-summer Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization kicks off May 21 to help save lives by cracking down on those who don’t buckle up.

Pacific Grove Police Department is joining with other state and local law enforce-ment officers to help save more lives by strongly enforcing seat belt laws around the clock. Seat belts are the most effective piece of life saving equipment on your car.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2010 nationally, 61 percent of the 10,647 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes overnight were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the fatal crash, compared to 42 percent during the daytime hours.

“Too many drivers and passengers on the road at night are not wearing their seat belts, and it all too often ends in tragedy,” said Cdr. John Nyunt of Pacific Grove Po-lice. “Our goal is to save more lives, so Pacific Grove Police Department will be out enforcing seat belt laws around the clock.”

Seat belt use saves thousands of lives across America each year and Pacific Grove Police Department is helping spread the word. NHTSA statistics show that in 2010 alone, seat belts saved an estimated 12,546 lives nationwide.

Yet, too many motorists may need a tough reminder. In 2010, 22,187 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in motor vehicle crashes, according to NHTSA, and 51 percent of them were not wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes.

Younger motorists and men are particularly at risk. Data shows that among teen and young adult passenger vehicle occupants in 2010, ages 18-34, who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes, 62 percent were not buckled up at the time of the crash – the highest percentage of any age group. The number jumps to 66 percent when just men in this age group are included.

While this year’s Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 21 through June 3, motorists should know that officers are out enforcing seat belt laws year-round. Total costs of a first-time ticket are at least $142.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) classes to begin

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program • teaches people disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and • trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and

rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members

are able to assist their families and others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

This training is offered free of charge to citizens who live or work on the Central Coast. All ages are welcome. Young people 13-15 must be accompanied by an adult.

The next class starts Saturday May 26 and the 20+ hour training is taught over three Saturdays: Saturday, May 26, June 2, June 9 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Team participation is an optional next step.

To enroll send an e-mail to: [email protected]. If you do not have e-mail phone: 646-3416.

Monterey CERT is a volunteer organization under the auspices of Monterey Fire Department. The curriculum is in accordance with FEMA guidelines.

Dear Readers: Please bear in mind that historical articles such as “High Hats & Parasols” present our history — good and bad — in the language and terminology used at the time. The writings contained in are quoted from Pacific Grove/Monterey publications from 100 years in the past. Please also note that any items listed for sale in “High Hats” are “done deals,” and while we would all love to see those prices again, people also worked for a dollar a day back then. Thanks for your understanding.

High Hats & Parasols

The News … from 1912.Teaching history falls flat

Perhaps the most conspicuous failure in our schools, next to the school’s laughable, worshipful teaching of the Ancient Languages, is to be found in the teaching of history.

The date when Caesar crossed the Rubicon1 is not important or interesting, outside of an encyclopedia, and the details of wholesale murders of men should not be told in text books for children, but told by the weird grail fires2 when tales of horror are recited with grief and tears.

The date of the battle of Pharsalia3 is insignificant, but it is important to know that when the solder-citizen of Rome lost his land and nobility took it over, when the Caesara found it more profitable to raise sheep than to raise men, Rome fell.

It is also important to know that when the King of France paid $100,000 for a necklace to give the Lady Du Berry4, and his courtiers, in the chase, rode over the fields of farmers and destroyed their crops, the French Revolution came. But the date of King Louis’ death is immaterial.

When Gutenberg invented printing, education was revolutionized, but the place where the royal family put up for the winter in 1683 is not a matter of great interest.

When history shall drop its dates and places, and describe its wars with horror, and replace the names of worthless, sap-headed kings with those of the real men who have prompted the progress of the world, we shall have textbooks the students will plead for the privilege of reading, and classes the students will beg to attend.

If our Grove teachers should replace the weary, heart-breaking struggles with memory and offer a few instructions as to how to use an encyclopedia, all will be well.

Breakwater for Monterey Bay?The River and Harbor Bill before Congress contains the following provisions re-

garding the Monterey Bay breakwater: Improving the Monterey Harbor is conditioned on the State of California contributing $200.000 toward the total $800,000 cost of the project. Further, that the Secretary of War be satisfied before expending any portion of the money appropriated that a railroad will be funded for construction from the San Joaquin Valley to the harbor at Monterey.

Concert to be performed SaturdayThe Apt Orchestra will present their fifth, monthly recital at the Colonial Theatre,

Pacific Grove, Saturday evening. An exceptionally fine program has been prepared. The entertainment includes several moving picture shows for which the orchestra will provide music. Mrs. C. L. Carrington directs. Admission costs 20¢ per adult seat and 10¢ per child, seated or not.

Franklin’s home sold under the hammerFailure by the owner to pay taxes brought an old-time, brick, Philadelphia home

to the auction block. The ancient, three-story-with-attic’s high bid turned out to be $901. Of particular interest, was the fact that Benjamin Franklin boarded in the home for several years as a young man.5

Standard Oil declares dividendAs part of Standard Oil’s continuing fight with government, shareholders are about

to reap an unexpected whirlwind of profit as Standard Oil declared a dividend payment … of 2,900 percent. Shareholders can now expect to receive about $6,000 per share. Speculators are estimating how much a share of stock, when valued at $2,500, would have sold for had this declaration been foreseen.

Balloon goes on rampageA runaway military balloon, in training use at the Presidio, caught fire and fell to

the ground. Its two occupants, both lieutenants, received serious burns and injuries in the fire and fall. The balloon, tied to earth, provided the military an observation post, mostly for the direction of artillery fire. The balloon broke away after its basket and steel cable touched a high-voltage line. The electrical current passed through the cable and set fire to the balloon and basket. The two lieutenants fell to the ground where they were covered with descending debris, most of which was in flames.

Author’s Notes• The Rubicon was a river forming a boundary between Gaul and Italy. After it was

crossed by Julius Caesar’s legions, the act was regarded by the Roman senate as a declaration of war. Just before crossing, Caesar said that the Rubicon presented his line of no return, but that the die had nonetheless been cast. This, by the way, occurred in 49 b.c.A grail fire presented the opportunity to gather for singing and storytelling. Your author has no idea what was meant by calling it “weird”.

• The Battle of Pharsalus was a clash which occurred in 48 BC between the forces of Caesar and Pompey. Caesar decisively defeated Pompey in this battle.

• Du Berry was a period author who penned a work called Les Très riches heures du Duc de Berry. She was suspected of being the King of France’s mistress. At the time, it was common practice for female writers to utilize male names.

• At age 16, Benjamin had fled (illegally) from Boston to Philadelphia to escape servitude as a printer’s apprentice. While living in the brick boarding house, Franklin met the owner’s daughter, the portly Deborah, who would later become his common-law wife.

• Foul? Surely, the preparer of this ad meant “fowl”.

Art in the service of scienceScience illustration

students exhibit work

If you’ve ever wondered about the artwork that illustrates science textbooks, field guides, and interpretive signs in parks and nature preserves, you have the opportunity to learn about it at an exhibit in Pacific Grove.

Illustrating Nature, the third an-nual exhibit of work by students in the CSU Monterey Bay Science Illustra-tion Program, will be on display at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History through June 17. The museum is located at 165 Forest Ave., Pacific Grove.

The 63 illustrations and several field sketches in the exhibit depict sub-jects ranging from tiny birds called fairy wrens to tiger swallowtail but-terflies using media including pen and ink, scratchboard, colored pencil, watercolor, gouache, acrylic and digital media.

Several instructional workshops for adults and children will be held in conjunction with the exhibit.

In 2009, the science illustration program relocated from UC Santa

Cruz Extension to CSUMB. One of the most prestigious programs of its kind in the nation, it prepares students who are sought after by scientific institutions and publications around the world. Graduates are working at the Smithsonian Institution; New York’s American Museum of Natural History; the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History; the Monterey Bay Aquarium; and National Geographic, Scientific American and Nature magazines.

“We’re excited to continue a tradition of partnership with a local natural history museum,” said Ann Caudle, program director. “After a re-warding 20-year relationship with the museum in Santa Cruz, we are happy to be collaborating with the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.”

Museum hours are 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is free. More information about the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is available here: http://www.pgmuseum.org/

In June the Carmel Art Associa-tion opens three new shows, each having a cause for celebration: To begin with, long-time artist member Will Bullas presents “The Prodigal Pun Returns”―the first solo show in decades by the prominent watercol-orist after an extensive absence from the walls of the CAA. His followers and collectors will be delighted to see that he continues to display his unique sense of humor and master-ful handling of imagery as visual puns and more.

New oil paintings from Peggy Olsen will be on display in “Califor-nia Landscapes Revisited” in which she takes familiar themes using a fresh approach. The show com-memorates the prolific and highly productive artist’s 26th year with the CAA; in addition Olsen will be celebrating her 75th birthday.

Lastly, the CAA welcomes the work of six brand new artist members in the New Members Show. This show is the first at the CAA for Pacific Grove paint-ers Jeffrey Becom, Anne Downs and Howard Perkins; also Erin Lee Gafill from Big Sur, Mike Bullas from Carmel Valley, and Barbara Kreitman of Carmel. The New Members Show offers a great diver-sity of style. Jeffrey Becom finds inspiration in the colorful facades of village architecture around the globe for his paintings (he is also a well-known fine art photographer). Anne Downs’ watercolors are a fusion of tradition and abstraction, what she calls “a kind of visual Haiku.” How-ard Perkins approach to painting and drawing relates to his back-ground as a professional architect, trained to define three-dimensional space. Erin Lee Gafill’s abstracted landscapes and color-rich still life paintings are inspired in part by the natural beauty of Big Sur. Barbara Kreitman uses bold strokes of the palette knife and brush to create her semi-abstract figurative and land-scape paintings. Mike Bullas grew up surrounded by art, (son of Will Bullas) and through formal study developed his unique expression as an abstract artist. All six were accepted recently into the CAA membership by jury.

The exhibits run from June 7th through July 3rd, with an opening reception to be held on Saturday, June 9th from 6 to 8 p.m. The Carmel Art Association is located on Dolores Street between 5th and 6th and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please call (831) 624-6176 or visit www.carmelart.org and www.facebook.com/carmelartassociation.

Pacific Grove artists newly accepted into the Carmel Art Association include (L-R) Jeffrey Becom: “San Cristobal Totonicapan Guatemala” – Watercolor; Howard Perkins: “Where the Wild Things Are” – Graphite; and Anne Downs: “Wandering Night Wind” – Watercolor. These works and more will be shown at the New Members Show opening June 7.

MoM Collaborative Film series: ‘9 Films Marking 1967’

The Monterey County Film Commission, in collaboration with the Museum of Monterey (MoM), is starting a new monthly film series entitled “9 Films Marking 1967” which will present vintage films that were in theaters that year, in a time of evolving youth culture and events that changed the world.

The film series is held in conjunction with the Museum of Monterey’s 2012 ex-hibition “Music, Love and Flowers: Youth & Culture Monterey 1967 & Now.” The museum exhibit reflects how the events of 1967 set the stage for the Monterey Pop Festival amid world events from riots in Detroit to the Vietnam War and to Communist China’s H-bomb testing. The movies and music provided escapes from the frightening realities of that time.

The “9 Films Marking 1967” screenings will take place once a month on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. On Friday nights the museum will remain open from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and visitors will enjoy a no-host bar, music and all museum first floor exhibits. Film screenings will begin at 7 p.m. On Saturdays the screenings will begin at 2 p.m. Admission to the film is free with a $10 paid admission to MoM. REEL Friends of the Film Commission members and members of MoM receive a discounted admission of $5 plus a glass of wine.

On May 25 and 26 the series premiere will feature “Bonnie and Clyde,” starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, one of the 1967-produced films that have proven to be classics, in some cases for their artistic content and in others because they bucked the system.

The complete film series schedule:May 25 and 26 – “Bonnie and Clyde”June 22 and 23 – “The Dirty Dozen”July 27 and 28 – “In Like Flint”Aug. 24 and 25 – “In the Heat of the Night”Sept. 28 and 29 – “Riot on Sunset Strip”Oct. 26 and 27 – “The Trip”Nov. 23 and 24 – “Valley of the Dolls”Dec. 23 and 24 – “Wait Until Dark”Jan. 25 and 26, 2013 – “Easy Rider”

Youth poster contestMonterey County Elections announces “A.I.M. to Vote!”, or “Art Inspires Me

to Vote”, an art project where young artists in Monterey County will submit a poster designed in their own creative way to reflect the importance of voting and civic par-ticipation. Aimed at first-time and future voters ages 14 to 22, the contest is meant to generate early interest in serving at the polls and to broaden participation in democracy and voting for those 18 and over.

Monterey Peninsula Regional Park DistrictPresents its


Homelessness on the PeninsulaBy Erika Fiske

Erica Fiske is a Pacific Grove resident and former journalist. She tasted homelessness herself when, after being an in-home caregiver for years, her patient died and she found herself unable to secure another client. When her landlord raised her rent from $1,800 to $2,500, homelessness was a real spectre.

With her background in journalism, Erica became interested in the sto-ries of local homeless people and has written a series. Her stories will appear weekly for the foreseeable future, as there are many, many homeless out there.

Pacific Repertory Theatre continues its 2012 repertory season, sponsored by The Barnet Segal Charitable Trust, with the Olivier Award winner for Best New Comedy, Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League Awards for Best Play, God of Carnage, a comedy of manners about people that don’t have any, June 1 – July 14, at PacRep’s intimate Circle Theatre in Carmel.

Under the direction of PacRep’s Artistic Director, Kenneth Kelleher, God of Carnage written by Yasmina Reza (playwright of the Tony Award winning comedy, Art), revolves around two highly strung couples played by PacRep resident artists Julie Hughett and Tim Hart and guest Equity artists Rebecca Dines and Cassidy Brown, that meet for a civil dis-cussion about a playground fight between their young sons. The conversation quickly morphs into a laugh-out-loud, train wreck of an afternoon among “humans” turned “savages”, called “90 minutes of sustained mayhem” by The New Yorker. The New York Times hailed God of Carnage as a “four-way prize fight” and the Chicago Tribune praised Reza’s play, calling it a “savvy and deliciously caustic new comedy.”

Director Kenneth Kelleher has taken the reins of numerous PacRep premieres including A Number, Eurydice and The Blue Room, and will also be directing Julius Caesar, Much Ado About Nothing and Three Tall Women for the 2012 season.

Julie Hughett recently appeared in Every Christmas Story Ever Told, and has been a leading actress with PacRep in numerous productions since 1987.

Tim Hart has performed in scores of PacRep productions from Richard III to his most recent role as the elementary school spelling champion in Spelling Bee.

Equity member Cassidy Brown returns to the PacRep stage having ap-peared in Doubt, Comedy of Errors and as the uppity servant “Malevolio” in 12th Night. Equity actress Rebecca Dines has appeared at regional theaters throughout the United States including Berkeley Rep, TheatreWorks and the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival.

God of Carnage begins with one discount preview, Friday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m., and opens Saturday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m., followed by a 2:00 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 3. Performances continue Fridays and Saturdays June 8 - 16 at 7:30 p.m., with additional weekday perfor-mances on Wednesdays and Thursdays, June 27, 28, July 5, 11 and 12, at 7:30 p.m., with Saturday and Sunday matinees on June 10, 17, 30, July 7 and 14 at 2:00 p.m.

Performances are at the Circle Theatre of the Golden Bough Playhouse, located on Casanova Street between 8th and 9th Avenues, Carmel-by-the-Sea.

‘God of Carnage’

Out of Sight, Out of Mind With his fractured heel, 48-year-old Lee walks along Pacific Grove’s

tree-lined streets on this wet Wednesday, heading toward a motel near the cemetery, where deer have found a place to live. That’s more than Lee’s been able to do. Walking beside him is Baby, a 17-year-old terrier mix.

Baby has stood beside Lee all her 17 years. Whenever he stops, she takes the opportunity to lie down and rest her old bones. She’s quiet, and her eyes tell a story of years of moving on.

Lee can be found on weekdays at the Sally Griffin Center in Pacific Grove, where he uses a computer to look for jobs on Craigslist. But Lee never seems to get a bite. His last job, washing dishes at Asilomar state park, ended when a big corporation took over and let a lot of workers go---the usual story in America these days, he says. Chances are, Lee will never find a job again, like so many of the homeless.

Lee’s lucky during these couple of rainy days. He finally sold his old car and got enough money to spend a couple of nights in a motel, a rare luxury for him and Baby. The car was just too expensive to keep anyway. Most of the time Lee finds shelter in sheds or under porches at churches. For a while it was a Baptist church, until a new preacher came along and sent him on his way. Now it’s behind a Seventh Day Adventist church.

With all the agencies and churches around, all looking so pretty, there isn’t much help out there for homeless individuals such as Lee. Certainly not enough to get them on their feet and living happy, productive lives again. They truly are the forgotten people at a time when reports say the top frac-tion of one percent and the multi-national corporations have sucked up the economy into their over-stuffed pockets.

But you won’t hear Lee complaining. He knows there’s no point any-more. Things won’t get better, and will probably get worse for all the Lees out there. As Lee talks about himself, Baby sometimes opens her sad, brown eyes. One wonders if she’s thinking about her human companion and what he will do when she’s gone. Seventeen is old for a dog.

Years ago, Lee lived in Washington, DC. He was an auto parts driver and worked in customer service back when there were actually jobs in this country---back before he fractured his heel. “It needs two pins, but I have no one to watch my dog if I could get surgery,” he says. Besides, it would be impossible recovering from that surgery living on the streets with his dog.

So Lee and the other invisible people of this wealthy area will continue to spend their days looking for food and a dry place to sleep. As much as possible, they’ll stay out of sight--and out of mind.

On Sat., June 2 Community Human Services and Genesis House will hold a community celebration featuring a BBQ dinner and live music by Charlie S. and the Whole Blues Band. All proceeds will benefit a capital campaign for Genesis House, a residential drug treatment center under the auspices of Community Human Services. The event will be held at the Oldemeyer Center, located at 986 Hilby Ave. in Seaside. Tickets are $20 each at the door and the event will begin at 6:00 p.m. Call 831-658-3811 to order tickets or for more information.

The evening will feature a BBQ din-ner which includes BBQ chicken, salad, beans, bread, and dessert. Local per-formers Charlie S. and the Whole Blues Band will provide live musical entertain-ment. Speakers will address the need for residential substance abuse treatment programs and the recovery that they foster. All proceeds raised will benefit the Genesis House capital improvement project.

Persons interested in supporting Genesis House but who cannot attend the event may purchase tickets and donate them to clients of Community Human Services. Doing so will aid

Ragamuffin Theatre Summer Campsign-ups now available

Ragamuffin Musical Theatre Company will once again conduct their exciting and popular four-week, summer day-camp. Busy, fun-filled days are spent with an experienced, energetic, knowledgeable and youth-oriented staff. This coed camp welcomes novices, seasoned “theater veterans” and those who are simply curious about how a play gets to the stage. Activities will include games, vocal and choral instruction, dance, movement, theme days and talent shows to help each camper develop their own stagecraft and “triple-threat” performance skills. There will be break and snack-times and lots of outdoor games and activities. Extended-care hours are available for an small additional fee.

Come join us for the fun and leave with the awesome experience of “putting on a real live show”. This summer’s production will be “Pirates of Penzance, Jr.”, a wacky, irreverent adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “smash-hit” from 1879. This hilarious farce has sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed maidens and an eccentric Major-General, all bound to rather complicated codes of honor and duty. We’ll update this wonderfully entertaining musical, famous for its “patter songs”, with a bit of hiphop and rap flavor.

Set during 1980-1984, the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School of the Performing Arts, “FAME, Jr.” is the bittersweet, but inspiring story of a diverse group of students, following them as they commit to a grueling four years of artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight the show deals with many of the issues that confront young people, still today, especially those who are striving to enter the demanding world of the performing arts.

Rehearsal days include expert coaching in dance, voice, acting and other valuable musical theater techniques that will develop teens’ triple-threat skills. There will be lots of fun and hard work for the aspiring performer.

Ages 13 through 18 years (coed) are encouraged to enroll. The session will take place Mon., July 16 through Sun., August 5, including the performance weekend.

Sessions take place Monday through Friday, with the addition of weekend perfor-mances on August 4 and 5, and company rehearsal hours are 12:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Auditions will take place Friday, July 13 from 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., by appoint-ment, at Chautauqua Hall.

About Linda Abbey: Linda’s passion for photography

began when she purchased her first cam-era in high school. The camera, and its ability to freeze fleeting moments in time, fascinated her immediately. Since that day, she has enjoyed capturing images of the innocent, the overlooked, and the natural. In the early 1980’s Linda photographed pre-school classes and took candid photos of children interacting with each other. The children gave her an opportunity to photograph subjects that were seldom aware of the camera, playing with one another in their natural states. To this day, her primary subject matter remains these things we see every day – plants, children, scenery, and birds. Some of her most lauded work has been of these common

His first assignment will be to Fort Sill, OK.Family, including his parents Fred and Heather Hardee, and friends from Pacific Grove traveled to New York to see the ceremony.

New in-room hotel channel showcases area’s attractions

Eric Brandt, President/CEO of Destination Media Solutions (DMS), a digital media and content marketing company headquartered in Lake Tahoe, and Romney Dunbar, lo-cal DMS associate and owner of Dunbar Productions, of Santa Cruz, recently announced the official launch of the Monterey-Santa Cruz Visitor Network, custom-branded in-room and online information channels that deliver current, customized, visitor-centric information, direct to guests 24/7. The channels provide visitors a locally-focused and up-to-the minute guide to the area, with current, timely and relevant information in-cluding live weather forecasts, local webcams, current event listings, and informative and entertaining video segments with insights on what to do, where to go, and what to see around the region.

Branded specifically to the immediate local area, the Monterey Visitor Channel and the Santa Cruz Visitor Channel will be available in hotels around the region.

Some of the region’s well-known attractions are already on-board and taking advantage of the Visitor Channel’s unique reach, including Cannery Row Company, Monterey Movie Tours, Specialized Helicopter Tours and several of the area’s fine restaurants including Schooners, Fandango, The C, The Sardine Factory, Firefish, and the Haute/Whole Enchilada.

In addition to in-room viewing during a guest’s stay, the Visitor Channel content is also available online on locally-branded, visitor-focused websites, and soon on mo-bile devices, for additional access before, during and after a visit. The extensive video content will also be available to regional marketing organizations, and for local hotels and businesses to use on their own websites.

Choose enough ClubMost of us as golfers know that if

you putt your ball and it’s way short of the hole, someone always says, “never up, never in.” Well, the same applies to a full shot with your approach shots to the green.

Let’s say you hit an eight iron to the green, it lands on the green but it’s over 100 feet short of the flag. Great shot, but one club short, and you should have hit your seven iron. Never up, never in.

Here’s a tip. What ever your yardage, always hit one extra club to make sure you get it to the hole, not just land it on the green.

If you’ve been hiding under a rock, you may not know that the Pacific Grove Breakers took their first CCS Div. III title since 1999, defeating reigning champs Menlo 10-6 on May 26.

Proud parents and fans travelled to San Jose for the game, or watched for updates on Facebook.

The lineup for next year includes mostly returning players -- only two seniors will be missing from the roster. Below, varsity players are listed with an * and each player’s class rank is also listed: Dean Boerner – Junior* , Jack Heebink – Junior* , Julian Thompson – Sophomore , Christopher Fife – Fresh-man, Dylan Chesney – Freshman , Wes-ley Carswell – Junior* , Kevin Russo – Junior* , Nathan Moses – Freshman , Daniel Burschinger – Junior*, Kyle Czaplak – Junior*, Michael Amader – Senior* , Chris Clements – Sopho-more* , Nate Sampaolo – Senior* , Gabe Rose – Junior* , Jordan O’Donnell – Junior* , Garrett Russell – Freshman , Conyal Cody – Junior*, Daniel Boatman – Junior* , Devin Williams – Junior* , Anthony Coppola – Freshman.

But the honors didn’t stop with the title. Wes Carswell received the Pitcher of the Year award, Offensive Player of the Year, First Team All League and First Time All County. Teammate Kyle Cza-plak garnered kudos as Golden Glove, MVP, First Team All League and First Time All County.

Coach Gil Ruiz pointed out that sponsorships from local businesses pro-vide the team with uniforms, equipment such as catchers gear, balls, bats, gloves, chalk and things we need for the field and bus transportation and more.

Said team mom Martha Carswell, “For post season, we didn’t have any funds left for transportation but our sponsor Rich Russo — R&S Heating — knew how important it is to keep a team together for travel. He volunteered and paid for the bus to get the team to the Championship game. The Boern-ers — Pacific Gardens Inn — arranged

hotel accommodations the night before, and for the boys to attend a college D1 game in Santa Clara before our game against St. Ignatius, as they know that even a team with great baseball skills needs to bond off the field to really play as a team.”

Sponsors this year included: Bratty & Bluhm Real Estate, Carswell Heating & Sheet Metal, Cassady Orthodontics, Central Avenue Pharmacy, Day Electric, Drive Carmel, Elks Lodge #1285, First

Awakenings, The Gasperson Family, Grove Market & Deli, Hayward Lum-ber, Pacific Grove High Alumni Assoc., Pacific Grove Hardware, Pacific Gardens Inn, Pacific Grove Travel, Pacific Coast Orthopedics, Peppers Mexicali Cafe, Martin’s Irrigation, Monterey Bay Edu-cation Center & Gallery, Rose Automo-tive, R & S Heating, Stuart Dong State Farm Insurance, Soft Tissue Medical Center, Vivolo’s Chowder House, Wil-son’s Plumbing.

Only the 3rd ever and the first since 1999! Did Jobu the baseball mascot do juju? Maybe. Maybe not. We prefer to think it was extraordinary playing that took the Pacific Grove Breakers to a 10-6 win over reigning champs Menlo. Portrait of Jobu by jrusso photography.

The Chef: today I am featuring Chef John Guinivere. I first met John at a chocolate and wine pairing at my tast-ing room over a year ago. Since then we have become friends and I’ve wanted to feature one of his recipes.

A little more about Chef John: at 16, John worked in the kitchen at Cypress Country Club on the weekends. After high school, John applied to three culinary schools and was accepted to all of them. He chose California Culi-nary Academy in San Francisco. At the time, he was the youngest student ever accepted. He graduated from Culinary School in 1986, at the age of 20.

Over the years, John has managed restaurants, owned a bistro, traveled the world as a Chef on prestigious privately owned yachts, catered events for thou-sands of people and consulted for several restaurants and food companies.

By 1996, he had begun creating his own cooking show on the Internet. By 1998, he had learned digital video editing, encoding taping and streaming videos on the Internet. John’s first cook-ing video was aired on Cheflive.com in November 1998. You can still find some more of his recipes at www.cheflive.com. He has a no non-sense style of cooking and is very down to earth. I like that approach. His ingredients are simple but very tasty. I had the pleasure of dining on one of his creations. The lamb chops are delicious! I’m glad he is living on the Monterey Peninsula now.

We have a Chef demo and wine pairing that we are doing together June 2, 2012. It’s at Ferguson’s Bath and Kitchen located at 1144 Fremont Blvd. Seaside. It starts at 11:00 A.M. and seat-ing is limited. If you would like to join us or for more information, please email me. It will be an interactive four-course lunch.

The wine: 2006 Oh Pinot Noir, Balo Vineyards, Anderson Valley. You’ll get dark cherries, hints of blackber-ries and blue berries, with a cherry preserve essence, soft tannin structure, and a velvety silky finish. One can lay this down for another 10-15 years. You wouldn’t normally age a Pinot for that long but this has the depth and struc-ture that is age worthy. It is, however, drinking nicely now. Anderson Valley is located in Mendocino. The soil along with the climate makes this region ideal for growing Pinot Noir grapes. This was aged in French oak for 12 months with 50 percent new oak barrels. It is 90 per-cent free-run juice with 10 percent press. It does go amazingly well with Chef John’s lamb chops. Give it a try and let

Regional Waste Management District offers talk

Expanding our community infrastructure to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

William Merry, General Manager of Monterey Regional Waste Management District will make a presentation to Sustainable Pacific Grove on Wed., June 13, at 7 p.m. at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.

During the 60 year history of the MRWMD, the private “dump” that burned waste and buried ash on the beach was closed. In its place, the MRWMD has developed a range of “integrated” programs to reduce, reuse, recycle and safely dispose of waste that were recognized as the Best Solid Waste System in North America in 1995.

The Greater Peninsula region is increasingly seen as a destination for “eco tourism”. Find out how the publicly-owned Monterey Regional Waste Manage-ment District helps provide the community infrastructure for sustainability and take this opportunity to share your thoughts on the future of our recycling and resource conservation programs.

After six decades of service to the local community, what does the future hold for the MRWMD and its member jurisdictions? This presentation will highlight two “once in a generation” opportunities with the potential to shape the future of community programs to reduce, reuse, recycle and conserve resources for the next 20 years.

Water Management District saysno rationing for now

But don’t build a swimming pool yetThe Monterey Peninsula Water Management District presented its annual Water

Supply Forecast for the upcoming water year on May 21. Based on current physical availability of water, no additional mandatory water demand reductions are necessary at this time.

The District’s Water Supply Forecast is compiled annually to analyze the status of water supply and demand within the District’s boundaries. This report quantifies the rainfall, runoff, and storage conditions with the District, as of May 1, and forecasts the amount of water that will be available for use during the upcoming water year.

Water demand for the remainder of Water Year 2012 and all of Water Year 2013 is projected to be 24,665 acre-feet of water. Current usable storage is estimated at 30,910 AF, or 82 percent of maximum storage capacity. This current supply provides sufficient stored water to meet projected needs over the next 17 months.

Despite adequate water supply levels, there is still a need for continued conserva-tion and progress on development of new supply sources.

“Don’t let the numbers provide a false sense of security,” said Dave Stoldt, MP-WMD General Manager. “We could always go into higher stages of rationing if the community’s water use exceeds Cal Am’s monthly water production targets. And with a mandatory 70 percent reduction in our available supply just a few short years away, it’s vital we act now on developing new supply sources.”

More information on the Water Supply Forecast can be found in the May 21 board meeting packet at www.mpwmd.net.
