Proposed Water Bond Mandela’s Death Sparks Act of 2014 Memories for Cameraman Hearings set on multi-billion-dollar bond act

The Central Coast is not the only area facing a water crisis. The entire state of California faces drought and the effects of climate change on access to clean, affordable, reliable drinking water. California voters have not passed a water bond since 2006. While the Legislature has been working on one since 2009, it has been postponed twice due to concerns that it is a flawed proposal. Another proposal has been put forth, and on Tues., Dec. 17 a hearing has been set which will focus on the looming water crisis and what the proposed water bond could do about it. Besides the legislators scheduled to give opening remarks, including Assemblymember Mark Stone which represents our area, there will be testimony from: John Ricker, Director, Santa Cruz County Water Resources Division; Dave Stoldt, General Manager, Monterey Peninsula Water Management District; and Richard LeWarne, Assistant Director, Environmental Health Bureau, Monterey Department of Health There are two proposals, one in the Assembly and one in the State Senate. Assembly measure: AB 1331 (Rendon) proposes $6.5 billion for the water bond. Language names every single watershed in the state, including the Central Coast Watershed. And the California Conservation Corps “shall be used whenever feasible.” There is an allocation in the proposal of $1 billion for hydrological regions identified in the California Water Plan including $58 million for the Central Coast. The sister measure, Senate measure: SB 42 (Wolk) proposes $6.475 billion for the water bond, with $1.5 billion to the Department of Water Resources for regional water management plans including $85 million for the Central Coast. The hearing set for Dec. 17 will begin at noon and is scheduled to finish at 3:00 p.m. with time for public comment.

Part I: Winnie Mandela

By Marge Ann Jameson The year was 1989. Bob Pacelli was a television cameraman, an unsure occupation in which the competition was fierce and huge news organizations jostled for footage. He’d worked with a number of Bay Area television stations, including KRON and a local Spanish-language station. It was a close-knit fraternity. He had worked with a woman named Savannah Foa, who called him in Pacific Grove one day and asked if he would be interested in a job with the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR). He was on his way to Geneva, Switzerland. “One day I’m buying groceries at Grove Market, and three days later I have a UN passport and I’m in Geneva,” Pacelli recalls. He left his wife, Clemencia, in Pacific Grove to pack their things for the move.

An uncertain future: Young refugees boarded a plane in Tanzania bound for repatriation in an unsettled South Africa. Photo is a still from footage shot by Bob Pacelli on behalf of the UN. His first assignment with the UNHCR was to document the repatriation of hundreds of South African people who lived in refugee camps in Tanzania and Kenya. It had been attempted – unsuccessfully -- earlier to return refugees to South Africa, people whose fight against oppression and racism fomented by the apartheid government had resulted in their being labeled as criminals. Some faced prison and worse if they returned. But this time, the UNHCR had a plan: On board were to be young people who had been born in the camps and had lived there all their lives, some of them as old as 27 years. They had no criminal records for subversion or violence and had a better chance of not being turned away at Johannesburg. A foot in the door, so to speak. Apartheid was being dismantled in South Africa. Bowing to internal and external political and economic pressure, the codified oppression of black natives and colored people was crumbling, but not without fierce resistance on the part of many white citizens of South Africa. A worldwide boycott of South African goods and services and the refusal of major companies to do business there was having a crippling effect on the South African economy and was weakening the government. But it would be two more years before apartheid laws were repealed and it was not until 1993 that a multiracial transitional government was

approved, and another year (1994) before elections were held. And what to do with these refugees? Pacelli was handed a UN passport and a manifest, and was flown to Tanzania with his huge and heavy Beta camera and related equipment. He was shuttled to a rickety 707 and he started filming. The plane quickly filled with refugees and their meager belongings, and they were airborne for the four-hour flight to Johannesburg. Pacelli worked his way forward to the cockpit and was unsettled to see wires hanging from the controls. He asked the pilot if he had ever made the flight before and if he was confident they’d make it. The pilot answered that he’d made the flight but had been refused landing. But this time he had a plan. They only had enough fuel to make it to Johannesburg and could not be turned away. Winnie Mandela was the darling of the anti-apartheid movement. Brave and outspoken, the wife of jailed ANC president Nelson Mandela found herself in a leadership position during her husband’s incarceration. She had been jailed for the cause herself, and later would serve in various positions in the transition government and the postapartheid government. She was more of a firebrand than was Nelson, and traveled with bodyguards. This was a time before serious, criminal accusations overtook her, too. When the refugee plane arrived in Johannesburg, Pacelli – the lowly cameraman – was sent off the plane first and was handed the paperwork for the passengers. He found himself the sole representative of the UN and tasked with getting them through customs. He rolled the film. After a few battles with airport authorities, he handed in his paperwork and, continuing to film, found himself walking backward and filming, the iconic action of many news camerapeople. He kicked open a door behind him, backed through it, and tumbled over none other than Winnie Mandela, who caught him in her arms. Everyone apologized and dusted themselves off and Pacelli continued his assignment, none the worse for wear. Later, he said, he had to “file” the film in two versions – one with the natural sound track and one with his voiceover, explaining the action in the film. And it was his and Clemencia’s wedding anniversary, Dec. 12. The phone calls to Geneva and to Pacific Grove had to be routed through Kenya because of the boycott. Fast forward to October, 1999. Pacelli has worked for the UNHRC on projects in Eritrea, Somalia and Sarajevo. He has filmed Southeast Asian refugees and boat people. He’s back on American soil. Mrs. Mandela has been divorced from Nelson Mandela. She was a member of the South African Parliament and was President of the African National Congress Women’s League. Inspired by an Internet project which would pair Richmond, California children with their South African counterparts, she came to San Francisco to meet with then-mayor Willie Brown and religious leaders including Louis Farrakhan. Pacelli was assigned by a Bay Area TV station to film the event. Camera people and reporters jostled for position, each trying to get close to her. As the cadre of cameramen crowded around her, Pacelli lowered his camera and asked, “Do you remember me?” She looked at him blankly, he said, and asked in her gentle South African accent, “No, should I?” He reminded her that he’d tripped over her in the airport in Johannesburg in 1989. Recognition came over her face and she “planted a huge smacker on me.” said Pacelli. “From then on I was the king of the newspeople.” At least for the day. Next week: Pacelli films Nelson Mandela, visiting Geneva immediately after his release from prison, discussing the refugees with Mrs. Ogata of the UNHRC.

Prizes were won at the Ice Fishing game and children stood in line to have their faces painted. Many generous Pacific Grove businesses contributed prizes to the raffle. Volunteers seemed to be having as much fun as those attending. Many parent volunteers were Co-Op graduates themselves as were many of the Middle School students who assisted young shoppers in the Children’s Store.

Murderer of Two Carmel Valley Girls Sentenced to Death

El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson has announced that the jury in the penalty phase trial of convicted serial murderer Joseph Michael Nissensohn has concluded. After deliberating for approximately 90 minutes, the jury returned with a verdict in favor of the death penalty. On October 31, 2013, Joseph Nissensohn was convicted in a South Lake Tahoe courtroom for the 1981 Monterey County murder of 13-year-old Tammy Jarschke, 14-year-old Tanya Jones, and for the 1989 South Lake Tahoe murder of 15-year-old Kathy Graves. The Jury found Defendant Nissensohn guilty of three first degree murders and found the special circumstances allegations to be true, including the prior 1989 Washington murder of Sally Jo Tsaggaris. On November 12, 2013, the death penalty phase of the trial started in a South Lake Tahoe courtroom. Defendant Nissensohn was previously convicted of the Washington murder in 1991 and was scheduled to be released at the end of his sentence in 2008. At that time, in agreement with the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office consolidated all three murders to be tried at the same time. Cold case homicide investigators from both counties began the tedious task of compiling all of the necessary evidence, documents, and witnesses for trial. District Attorney Vern Pierson commented, “Complex cases such as this require a team effort. Thousands of hours were dedicated to making sure Mr. Nissensohn was held accountable for his actions and without a doubt our community is a safer place without him in it”.

The Nigerian Scammers Are at it Again

Just when you thought all the princes and unfortunate widows from Nigeria had gone away, and all the Irish Sweepstakes and inheritances were claimed, a new scam arrived in our email today. Please don’t fall for it!

“Your Pacel [sic] Has Been Seized U.S CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION Indianapolis International Airport 6801 Pierson Drive Indianapolis, IN 46241 Port Director: Brooke Jansen Phone: 509-214-2221 Attention: Consignee, I am Mr. Brooke Jansen Port Director, U.S Customs and Border Protection. We just intercepted/confiscated one (1) briefcase at the Indianapolis International Airport Indiana. We are on the verge of moving this briefcase to the U.S Customs headquarters. However, we scanned the said box and found out that it contained a total of USD$3.3M. Investigation carried out on the Diplomat who accompanied this briefcase into the United States, revealed that he was to make the delivery of the fund to your residence, as these funds are entitled to you, been Contract/Inheritance over due payments. The funds were from the office of the CBN Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Federal Republic of Nigeria. Furthermore, after cross checking all the information we found in the briefcase indicating you are truly the beneficiary of the funds, it became known to us that one of the documents is missing. This document is very important and until we get the document, the briefcase will be temporarily confiscated pending when you will provide it. The much needed document is the Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Delivery Certificate (DISDC). This document will protect you from going against the US Patriot Act Section 314a and Section 314b. This delivery will be tagged A Diplomatic Transit Payment (D.T.P) once you get the document. You are therefore required to get back to this office within 72 hours to enable us guide you on how to get the needed document. Failure to comply with these directives may lead to permanent confiscation of the funds and possible arrest for money laundering. We may also get the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) involved if you do not follow our instructions. You are also advised not to get in contact with any Bank in Africa, Europe or any other institution, as your funds are here now in the United States of America. Sincerely Yours, Mr. Brooke Jansen Port Director Confidentiality Notice: This communication and its attachments may contain nonpublic, confidential or legally privileged information. The unlawful interception, use or disclosure of such information is prohibited. If you are not the intended recipient, or have received this communication in error, please notify the sender immediately by replying email and deleting all copies of this communication and attachments without reading or saving them.”

Pacific Grove Police Remind You to ‘TLC’

As the shopping season gets into full swing, the member of the Pacific Grove Police department continue to remind the public to “take a little TLC.” Three simple steps can make the difference between enjoying a happy Christmas season or the unhappy experience of becoming a victim of theft. Take your valuables with you. Remove valuables from your vehicle and secure packages being left at your home. A “signature proof of delivery” option will help. Lock your vehicle doors and your home, even if it’s a short errand. Thieves go through neighborhoods looking for unsecured doors. Close vehicle and home windows. It only takes a few seconds. But it only takes a few seconds for a thief to reach into an open window and snatch something. The police department works diligently with the community to reduce residential and auto burglaries and thefts from unlocked vehicles through preventative patrolling, enforcement and community cooperation.

Smile, You're on Candid Camera

Store manager at Country Club Gate provided video footage of suspect and suspect vehicle in a theft of alcohol and other goods from store. Store manager wants to pursue criminal complaint.

When will they ever learn?

A purse was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Sunset Drive. A disabled person placard was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on 17th Street.

Found

A set of keys with a remote on Forest Lodge. A glove was found at Lighthouse and Forest. Probably a cold parade-goer. A safe was found by a dumpster. It was taken to the Public Works yard.

Just visiting his new shed

A neighbor reported seeing someone at a property where they weren't supposed to see anyone. The “trespasser” was contacted, and it turns out he had purchased a shed from the property owner and needed to make repeated visits to dismantle it. Property owner corroborates his story.

Missing wife not a wife at all, nor was she missing

Party reported his wife missing, but it turned out they are not married and she has left him.

Possible scam

A man was contacted by phone to set up a “Life Alert” alarm appointment, which the man had not ordered. He believes it was a scam and wanted to alert police.

Employee stealing

An employee of a business on Lighthouse was discovered to have been stealing from the company using forgery. Employee was gone when police arrived.

Not the Sloop John B

Officer observed a medium-sized boat 50-100 yards from shore, using “work lights.” The officer watched it for about 10 minutes and called another officer to bring night vision binoculars. The boat then rapidly sped south. Pebble Beach Security advised they also observed it. At that point the Coast Guard was notified and they launched a helicopter and a boat. Final disposition unknown, but the Coast Guard said it was probably a drug smuggler.

Stolen planter

On Grand Ave., a planter was stolen. Not easy to hide.

And here's the evidence...

A neighbor reported a man for feeding wildlife and said she knew it was him because she has had ongoing problems with him feeding peanuts to the wildlife. A photo was taken of five peanut shells on the road by the reporting party's driveway.

Sign language not chargeable

An employee, during an argument with a customer, made hand signs that he thought she was crazy. Officers informed her that she cannot press charges.

Bark, bark, bark

A neighbor complained that two small dogs on Crocker Ave. were left outside and barked all day. Officer observed two small dogs, barking.

Grrr, grrr, grrr

An aggressive, loose German shepherd was reported on 7th. It almost attacked a carrier man. The owner was contacted and put the dog inside.

DA Settles Unlawful Business Practice Case Against Propane Suppliers

Monterey County District Attorney Dean D. Flippo announced that on Dec. 2 his office, along with the district attorneys of Alameda, Fresno, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Sonoma, and Ventura counties, has settled an unlawful business practices case against the companies that market and sell “Blue Rhino” and “AmeriGas” the two largest brands of propane cylinder exchange in the United States. Blue Rhino and Amerigas sell pre-filled propane tanks to retailers, who in turn sell them to consumers for use with barbecues and camping equipment. In 2008, facing rising fuel cost, the companies reduced the volume of propane in their tanks from 17 pounds down to 15 pounds but did not reduce the price per tank. Although the correct weight was displayed on the tanks’ label, the tanks were locked in metal “cages” before purchase, so consumers did not see the labels, could not handle the tanks, and assumed they were filled to their safe capacity. In addition, signs referred to the reduced-content tanks as “full” which was inaccurate. The reduction of gas in the tanks shortened use time by between 1 and 1.5 hours. The settlement resolves the prosecutors’ civil complaint filed in Alameda County Superior Court alleging the companies violated California consumer protection and false advertising laws. Under the terms of the judgment the Blue Rhino companies will pay a total of $1 million in civil penalties and costs, and the AmeriGas companies will pay a total of $800,000.00 in civil penalties and costs. In addition, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, the companies will be bound by an injunction requiring they post notices on their enclosures explaining to consumers the actual quantity of propane in the tank. The companies cooperated with officials in the investigation.

The rink will be available for afternoon and evening skating six days a week. The seventh day will be dedicated to advanced, performance skating. School students who are exercising will move their activities to the old gymnasium building on 17th. All students, high school and elementary, will use the old building during the interim. Christmas reprieve The Christmas season has caused a postponement to the trial of two men accused of burglarizing the home of W. L. Newlove of Pacific Grove. The set-up began when one man walked up to the door and asked for a drink of water. They were later arrested playing pool in Monterey. The men were in possession of several items from the home when captured. The hearing was set for Thursday, last, but Justice of the Peace Wallace continued the hearing until next month. Neither suspect made bail. Conference next week The annual session of the California Methodist Church will convene in the church in this city next Wednesday. This will be the 61st year that the conference has assembled and the 29th year that the conference has assembled in the Grove. The ecclesiastic district which embraces Central and Northern California is served by 196 ministers, all of whom are expected to attend. Bishop Hughes will lead the conference, and many excellent speakers are scheduled as well as social gatherings. On the final Sunday, seven new preachers will be ordained. Complains of wife Dr. O. Swayze, who first lived in the Grove at 569 Pine avenue and maintained his medical office in the Cortinas building in Monterey, traveling back and forth by street railroad, has filed suit for divorce from his wife, Mrs. Minnie Swayze, currently residing in San Francisco. The doctor charged that his wife abandoned him in 1911. Her failure to work in his practice, he alleges, caused his business to fail, and forced him to move his practice to Sacramento, where his relatives live. He also alleged that his wife’s failure to return worked on his mind and created severe mental problems. The doctor claims that his net worth has dropped from $15,000 to nearly zero. Dr. Swayze proposes paying $0 support. Mingled waters swim, anyone? The waters of the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific ocean are about to mingle at the Isthmus. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of the American people, the Panama Canal is very nearly finished! Train off track Passenger Car number two, in charge of Conductor Robert Miller of Pacific Grove, left the track after leaving Monterey station but before reaching the Grove.The car’s momentum rolled it onto and along Lighthouse avenue where it stopped and sat for an hour or more before men came over from the power house with the proper tools and got the car back on track. The incident occurred on a slight curve where there appeared to be a weak section in the rail. Sabotage is not suspected. 2 Visit the canyon grandly At the end of miles of beautiful scenery, lies the Grand Canyon of the Feather River. This vista waits there to be visited and viewed. And the Western Pacific, Denver, and Rio Grande railroad is already preparing for your glorious, spring excursion.

Author’s notes… 1 Magazine subscriptions of every ilk stood out as hot items during the pre- television and radio era of 1913. Some were delivered by mail. Many were railroaded into town and then delivered by young men pulling small wagons, walking or riding bicycles. 2 Really? No sabotage? Proponents of the narrow-gauge, street railroad often struck out against the Southern Pacific. 3 The cars were “electric lighted” thanks to the “direct current” work of T. Edison and his supporting company, General Electric. 4 The initials “J. Q.” probably stood for “John Quincy’ a popular figure in 1913. 5 The anti-Chautauqua group were asking to let the Chautauqua die out rather than suffer a violent death, which required too much work. This group was against almost everything, just as is the “anti-” group today, 100 years later. 6 Your author got his start in newspapering delivering folded papers from the basket of a bicycle. 7 For a rather staid and proper community, dances seemed a regular and popular social event, but whoa, let’s look again. There was always a chaperone to make certain couples maintained a proper and respectful distance while “pair” dancing.

An Exciting Game on a Cold Night But Breakers See Bowl Hopes Dashed

The CCS Div. IV Championship game between the Pacific Grove Breakers and the Sacred Heart Prep Gators was an exciting one. The Dec. 7 game, played under the lights at Independence High School in San Jose, saw a number of fans make the trek to support the team, and even more watching a live stream on the Internet and following

our play-by-play on Facebook and Twitter. It was a good one, but the Breakers went down to a powerhouse Sacred Heart team 56-21. Their ground-pounding style of play was more than our high-flying style could conquer. Photos by Peter Nichols

By Marge Ann Jameson “The Camerata Singers are people with wide open hearts, who want to make the best experience they can for the listeners,” says John Koza, conductor of the Camerata Singers since 1999. And he’s doing what he loves to do. He has four part-time jobs which together make his career. All of them involve music -- teaching at Hartnell College, music director for the First Presbyterian Church of Monterey, conducting the Carmel Bach Festival Youth Chorus, and, of course, the Camerata Singers of Monterey. This is his 14th Christmas with the Camerata singers. He earned his bachelor’s degree in vocal performance and his master’s degree in choral conducting at San Jose State University, and sang with the Camerata Singers before being chosen to replace founder Vahé Aslamian as conductor in 1999. Koza’s position requires him to not only conduct the choir, but also to audition the singers and eventually the music they will perform. “We are a family,” he points out. First in importance is who they are. Secondly comes making music. the nucleus of the group has been together for “a long, long time” he says, and they gain and lose one or two singers per year. At present, a varied group including doctors, lawyers, teachers retired people, an arborist, a man in the pest control business and others comprise the 41 singers. “The group is currently the smallest it has been in my 14 years,” he said. “But it’s also the best it has been.” Choosing the music to be performed is very nearly a career in itself. Koza may hear a recording and hunt down the piece, or he may be handed a score. He’s accomplished at audiation, where an individual can read a piece of music and “hear” how it’s meant to be performed. He attends conferences where music is auditioned for attendees, who go to concerts all day long for three days. They “sight read” music there and make choices. Koza also subscribes to Spotify, the online music website, in order to find new music. “I just keep discovering new things,” says the conductor. “And I’m amazed at how things keep finding me!” He then will do what is called a score study with the pieces selected. He anticipates his singers’ questions and needs around the piece (such as, “Where do we breathe?”) and marks up the music before rehearsals even begin. When he organizes a program, there is a theme. This year he is bringing back two pieces that the group has performed before “Because they dovetailed perfectly” into the program, he said. The Camerata Singers have been rehearsing this year’s Christmas program since September. Often the performances are a capella, but this year the John Rutter “Gloria,” the centerpiece of the program, calls for brass, pipe organ, and percussion. “We’ve hired the best available,” he said. The accompanists have been rehearsing separately, and will have two rehearsals with the singers. One of the pieces is the hardest piece he has ever attempted, says Koza, because of changes in meter. “When Christmas is over, I can relax,” he says. But not for long. In January, the Camerata Futures program begins a nine-week rehearsal program. High school-aged singers rehearse weekly including a full day rehearsal in February concluding with a performance with the larger group in March. There will also be a fund-raising performance in May. Camerata Singers will perform their current program three times this weekend: Fri., Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salinas; Sat., Dec, 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carmel Mission in Carmel; and Sun., Dec. 15 at 3:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Pacific Grove. Tickets are available at Bookmark in Pacific Grove, Pilgrims Way in Carmel, Wild Bird Haven in Del Monte Center in Monterey, and Zeph’s 1-Stop on Main Street in Salinas.

What do we expect of Christmas, and why? Some people are upset because of the commercialization of the holiday, some only know it to be that way. Eschatologically speaking, some say we are far off the mark when it comes to the “real” reason for celebrating this holiday; some say we are right where we’re supposed to be. This is the Christmas time of the year, and I have tried hard — very hard — not to write about Christmas or anything related to it (I have good reasons which I will not go into). The last thing I wanted to do was write my version (or any version) about what Christmas is or is supposed to be. But as you would guess, the harder I tried not to write about Christmas the less effective my efforts in doing so. I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard the DJ say how sad it was that some kids won’t have Christmas this year; every kid should have a Christmas, he said with great conviction. I heard that and my mind raced to thinking, well, if you told them about Christ they would have a Christ-mas! I thought how sad it is that the parents of these children live with the socially induced stress brought on by marketers and manufactures, and that this DJ’s statement, while said with good intention only serves the problem – not a solution. I thought how ugly it is that these children, and many other children will experience shame and sadness through the guise of comparison, and that self-esteem, worth, and confidence will be diminished, and in some cases destroyed in them because “I don’t look like, smell like, or talk like the boob-tube or radio image.” Then there was this. Christmas to a homeless, or residentially challenged individual may mean the difference between life and death, and I heard it said; “It’s Christmas and they don’t give a damn!” When I heard this I felt the pain and anguish in his statement, then I thought what’s the difference? Why would a person in this position feel any different about Christmas than any other day of the year, what is he (or she) expecting, and why? What is it about Christmas that makes us react the way we do, what is that we

Dirrick Williams

Principle Living expect from this holiday, and why? Have we invented black Friday and cyber Monday because “‘tis the season…” the season of what? If this season is the season of giving, then what is every other day, the time of taking? Why would those in need “expect” to receive more, while others are experiencing trauma over not receiving? Why is there so much guilt and shame associated with “peace on earth, good will towards man?” In light of this I think this is a good question to ask and an even better question to answer is: What do we expect of Christmas, and why? Using a bar chart to measure expectation each day over the period of one year, on a scale of one to ten, on what days would your chart spike and why? Personally, I do not celebrate Christmas. As clergy I am thankful and honor this day and season, and I do so based on my figurative and literal belief of Christ. As a believer, and please excuse the cliché, I see every day as Christmas. So I would say my chart would have very little spike around Christmas, but on Veterans Day I shoot of the chart! How about you, what would your chart look like if you could measure your levels of expectation? Here is another question good to ask and better to answer. What do you feel others are expecting at this time of year and what are your responsibilities to those expectations, and why? Children expect what of parents during this season, and why, and please do not think Barbie and bicycles, I am asking you to go a bit deeper than that. As adults or parents expect what from us – why? Husbands and wives, employees and employers, sister and brother, boyfriend and girlfriend expect what from

the other, and why? Some many people blurt out what the meaning of Christmas may be, but few have ever asked what it means to me, matter of fact, it wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I asked this of myself. How could there be explanation of what something means without careful examination of expectation from its existence? Why is it the time for giving? Why is this a time of peace and joy, and what does this mean to me? To me, this is where the rubber meets the road. Outside of media blitzes, traditions, and dogma, let each of us examine our expectations and ask the question, why do I want this to mean what it means – to me? For having done so we may not only discover unrealized feelings and motivations, but new pathways to more meaningful acts of expression and celebration. Why do I want this to mean what it means to me is a good question to ask of one’s self, because ultimately Christmas is not so much a time of giving as it is a time of meaning. Not only what this day means, but what each day means, and more importantly what your meaning is to each day that you live. Christmas becomes not what you expect, but what is your meaning, and here is a hint to what may be the

answer, all things happen in relationship. Priceless and affordable the greatest gift you can ever give is you. What is the meaning of your life in the lives of others? If only we would discover and celebrate that, if we did, a hug, a smile, thank you, can I help you, do you have enough, and gestures like these may be the only gifts you will have to give for the rest of your life. Merry Christ-mas. It has been nearly three years since I submitted my first article to Cedar Street Times, and since that time I have been blessed from having done so. I have enjoyed every moment of being part of this publication, however, for the time being this will be my last submission. I would like to say thank you for reading Principle Living. It has been an honor, my pleasure, and a wonderful learning experience. I will be forever grateful to each of you for allowing me into areas of life that for many are sensitive and sacred. Thank you to the editor and owner Marge Jameson, and many thanks to her team of dedicated professionals for allowing me this opportunity. The mantras of Principle living are: 1) All things are spiritual before they are physical. 2) All things happen in relationship, and 3) Pray and meditate daily… it makes a difference. God bless you. Thank you. Peace be with you always. Dirrick Williams

I will be going to the PGA show in Orlando FL this January and I’m sure there will be a lot of new clubs, new clothes, carts and training aids for us to look at and maybe have in our golf shops for 2014. As far as the training aids, I use a selected few when I teach you golf lessons but here is the tip: Don’t rely on a training aid all of the time. Make sure you stay with the fundamentals with a good grip, stance and posture, good ball position. Everyone I teach to a person says to me at the start of the lesson, “I want more consistency not less.” So stay with the fundamentals. Go see your PGA professional for advice on how to play golf better, not the advice from the buddies who are not trained in teaching.

Older Driver Safety Awareness Week Dec. 2-6, 2013

Refreshing Driving Skills: CHP Offers Course for Seniors For some, the ability to drive is a true sign of independence. Driving plays an important role in maintaining an active, fulfilling lifestyle. As part of the California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) mission of providing the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to people throughout the state, the CHP remains steadfast in maintaining and improving traffic safety and mobility for California’s older drivers. The CHP joins with the American Occupation Therapy Association (AOTA) in recognizing December 2-6, 2013, as Older Driver Safety Awareness Week. The older driver traffic safety campaign is held by AOTA each year in December because this is the time of year when families get together for the holidays. This provides an opportunity for families to have conversations, including discussing the driving skills of an older family member. “This is often a difficult discussion to have with a person because many older drivers consider driving a form of independence,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “However, it is important to plan ahead and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of your loved ones on the road and those around them.” According to the CHP’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), in 2011 there were more than 23,000 drivers over 65 years of age involved in a collision. Among those senior drivers involved in a collision, nearly 400 were killed and more than 22,000 suffered injuries. Further analysis of the SWITRS data indicates more than 50 percent of those senior drivers were found to be at fault in the collision. To help California’s seniors maintain their driving independence for as long as they can safely drive, the CHP offers the two-hour, “Age Well, Drive Smart,” course. The program is supported by the Keeping Everyone Safe grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Through this program, seniors can tune up their driving skills, refresh their rules of the road knowledge, and learn about normal age-related physical and mental changes and how to adjust to these changes. To find out when the next Age Well, Drive Smart course is being offered, call your local CHP office or visit us online at www.chp.ca.gov.

Calculating Your Survivorship Options Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.

Planning for Each Generation In my last article, entitled “What’s Your Contingency Plan?,” I mentioned the fact that many people do not give much thought to how they would like their estates to be distributed in the event that their beneficiaries pre-decease them. Until they really start to unpack their estate planning options, it’s rare for most people to think about the possibility that their expectations of how things will play out might be thwarted by ephemeral nature of the world. As I often say, people do not always die “in the right order.” As difficult as it is to contemplate the possibility, it is important to have a thoughtful contingency plan in the event of such circumstances. Although the contingency plan options for people planning their estates are only limited by their imaginations, there exists a trio of common “survivorship” options in the event of a pre-deceased beneficiary. (1) Per Stirpes Assume that Gwen has three children, Larry, Curly, and Moe. Upon her death, if all of them survived her, under a “per stirpes” model, they would each receive an equal 1/3 share of her estate. If Larry pre-deceased Gwen, the estate would still be divided into equal 1/3 shares. However the 1/3 share that would have gone to Larry will go to Larry’s children equally. If Larry had three children, those three children would take an equal 1/9 of Gwen’s estate. If Curly and Moe survived Gwen, they would each receive their 1/3 share of the estate. If Curly also pre-deceased Gwen, his 1/3 would go to his children in equal shares. If Larry only had one child, his entire 1/3 of the estate would go to his child. If Moe survived Gwen, he would still get his 1/3 of the estate. If Moe also pre-deceased Gwen so that all three of Gwen’s children are pre-deceased, Gwen’s estate would still be divided into three equal shares – one share for each child that Gwen had. Each child’s share would go to their children

Travis on Taxes in equal shares. Larry’s 1/3 would be divided equally between his three kids so they would each receive 1/9. Curly’s 1/3 would go entirely to his only child and thus he would receive 1/3. If Moe had two children, his 1/3 would go equally to his two children and thus each of them would receive 1/6. (2) By Representation Under a “by representation” model, the division would be the same as “per stirpes” above unless all three of Gwen’s children were pre-deceased. In that case, the “by representation” model dictates that all of the grandchildren receive an equal share of Gwen’s estate, regardless of how many siblings they had. Thus instead of Larry’s three children receiving 1/9 each, Curly’s only child receiving 1/3, and Moe’s two children each receiving 1/6, all six grandchildren would receive an equal 1/6 share. Unlike a “per stirpes” model where the division is based upon the number of children Gwen had regardless of whether any of them survived her, a “by representation” model bases the division on the first generation where there are living descendants. This produces the result of not favoring those grandchildren who have fewer or no siblings. (3) Per Capita at Each Generation A “per capita at each generation” model takes the logic of the “by representation” model one step further. If all three of Gwen’s children survive her, the result is the same as it is for both “per stirpes” and “by representation above.” If Gwen had one pre-deceased child, the results are again the same as both “per stirpes” and “by representation” above. However, if Gwen had two pre-deceased children and one surviving child, the results are different. Assume that both Larry and Curly pre-deceased Gwen but Moe survived her. Moe will get his 1/3 of the estate. However, Larry’s 1/3 of the estate and Curly’s

You have probably heard that there is a possible tax credit for the new health insurance requirement that takes effect January 1, 2014. If you have health insurance available through your employer that does not exceed 9.5 percent of your household income (for your single coverage alone, exclusive of your family), or you have certain government plans like Medicare or Medicaid, you are not eligible for the credit. For others that can go through Covered California, our state health insurance exchange, your income will determine your eligibility. It is important to know the income thresholds for your family size because the poorly designed structure of the credit could mean the complete loss of the credit if you are even $1 over the threshold. For instance, a family of four which includes a mother and father age 45 and two children in high school with total household income of $94,199 (using 2013 figures) in Pacific Grove, California, would qualify for a $629 per month tax credit, or $7,548 for the year. If they made $1 more of income, $94,200, they would receive absolutely nothing. This being the case, they would be better off taking an extra three or four weeks of unpaid time off from work, just to be able to qualify for the credit! The credit is available to households making as much as four times the federal poverty line. If you make under the poverty line you are not eligible for the credit, but eligible for Medicaid (MediCal in California) instead. If you make between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty line, the credit is determined on a nice sliding scale based on your income, age, zip code, and family size. The problem is that there is a cliff once you get over 400 percent that makes you completely ineligible for the credit. The 2014 poverty line figures are not yet released, but can be found at

http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/figures-fedreg.cfm when available. Using 2013 information, the critical thresholds at 400 percent are as follows based on the number of members in the family: one family member - $45,960, two family members - $62,040, three family members - $78,120, four family members - $94,200, five family members - $110,280, and adding $16,080 for each additional family member. California residents can visit https://www.coveredca.com/shopandcompare and enter in their family size, age of adults, zip code, and expected household income to determine the tax credit and premium options for the state healthcare exchange very easily. The family size includes you, your spouse, and your dependents (whether or not actually related). Household income includes the income for you and your spouse (if married, you must file a joint return to get the credit), as well as any income of dependents IF those dependents had a filing requirement ($6,200 of earned income or $1,000 of unearned income in 2014). Although there is not a lot of clear guidance by the IRS at this point, it appears if they are under the filing requirement, none of their income is counted (this is another cliff!). This means you would need to make sure your dependents do not make over these amounts if it would push you over the threshold. More specifically the income included for you and your dependents is your adjusted gross income modified to include any tax-exempt income, nontaxed Social Security benefits, and any foreign earned income excluded. Based on your 2012 income, you may be eligible to receive advance payments on your credit. However, this will be reconciled on your 2014 tax return,

Times • December 13, 2013 Scene 16: Harry Comes Up with an Idea for New Year’s Eve


A: I’d appreciate your going a little faster.

Bernard Furman

H: I’ll go to a party store and buy funny hats, noisemakers and party favors.

Marriage Can Be Funny

A: Enough already! Tell me your idea before I die of old age! H: Okay, here it is---ready? A: I’m all ears.

The Wilsons are seated in the living room of their Pacific Grove home. Alice: We didn’t get very far when we discussed some time ago the various possibilities for celebrating New Year’s Eve, so I guess by default we’ll be going to the club’s party again. Harry: Absolutely not! I told you I wouldn’t spend another interminable evening there, and I meant it. A: So what else do you suggest we do? Sit home and twiddle our thumbs? H: As it happens, I’ve come up with an idea for the evening that I meant to discuss with you----a brilliant one, if I do say so myself, with a really novel twist. A: That’s sounds good, Harry. Tell me more. H: Okay, here goes: We invite our favorite two couples to come here. I assume that will be Karen and Frank, and Susan and Bill, if they’re not already committed elsewhere. A: I know they’re not, because they’ve been waiting for us to decide what we’ll be doing, so they can join us. H: Great! We ask them to arrive at six for drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and to spend the evening here. A: So far, all you’ve done is to make extra work for us. I don’t see the novelty.

H: Just before our guests are due to arrive, we turn the big wall clock three hours ahead. A: I see where you’re going.----We do that to make it correspond to New York time, right? H: Exactly. A: What next? H: As our friends enter the house, we ask them to remove their wrist watches and to go by the time as shown on the wall clock, and that’s what we do the rest of the evening. A: So the drinks and hors d’oeuvres are served from 9 p.m. as shown on the clock until let’s say 10? H: Right. We then serve dinner. At 11:30 I distribute the hats, which we all put on, as well as the noisemakers and favors, which we practice with. At 11:45 I open the champagne and turn on the TV, going to the channel that is showing New Year’s Eve at Times Square. We watch what’s going on there, and at 11:55, I pour the champagne. A: Now it’s getting exciting. H: It gets even more so when we join the countdown to when the ball drops at The New York Times tower. When it does, at exactly midnight on the east coast, we celebrate here, drinking the champagne, kissing, yelling, making as much noise as possible, in that way sharing the occasion with hundreds of millions of people around the world.

H: Be patient---it’s coming.

A: In essence, then, the idea you’ve come up with is to celebrate New Year’s Eve as if we were in New York, rather than California.

A: I can’t wait.

H: Exactly!

H: We prepare a simple but delicious dinner, the main course being linguini with your famous Bolognese sauce, meatballs and sausage, which can be made a day or two ahead of time and just heated up when we need it, so you’re not spending time at the stove instead of with our guests.

A: I agree with you, honey. It’s a brilliant idea!

A: Excellent suggestion. H: I’ll make a Caesar salad, we’ll order some kind of a holiday cake for dessert, have a good white wine for aperitifs, a Chianti Classico to go with the pasta, and a bottle of champagne chilling in the ‘frig. With only six people including us, the preparation, serving and clean-up will be easy.

H: After a glass or two of the bubbly, we chat with our friends for another hour or so. When they leave, we reset the wall clock to California time, which by then will be at about 10 p.m. We’ll finish cleaning up by 11, and shortly after that will be snug in bed, having had a full and totally enjoyable evening of celebration, welcoming in the New Year. A: Whereas at the club, they’re still dragging themselves around the dance floor, or are asleep in their chairs, waiting for the stroke of midnight which seems as if it will never arrive.

A: I agree, but am still waiting to hear something novel.

H: Precisely!

H: We’re getting there.

A: I love it!

Ho Ho Ho Jane Roland

Animal Tales and Other Random Thoughts Last week I wrote about the Kingston Trio, then and now. Today I will make an effort to describe Christmas as it was in my life. I recall the drive over the bridge to the old fortress at Governor’s Island to see Santa Claus who handed out a gift to each eager urchin. We had a huge tree in our house on the sea wall and all of the animals, including a number of dogs and cats, often ducks, turtles and fish received presents to commemorate the season. When we relocated to Ft. Huachuca in the mountains of Southern Arizona, Santa somehow managed to find us; although, I must confess that I was most concerned. It was not a particularly happy time; my mother had debilitating arthritis which involved a great deal of bed rest. Her favorite pet, Percy the African Grey, would sit beside her on his perch. If she was able to go downstairs it was generally for a drink and dinner with my father. I spent an hour with them prior to my supper with the servants and then was whisked upstairs to bed. I remember walking to school backwards during a blizzard. Making snowmen and snow ball fights. Bisbee was the closest town. My father gave my nanny some money for me to purchase a gift for Mother. Dora was unsophisticated and, when I chose a bejeweled spider at the five and dime, she thought it most appropriate. I was very excited, wrapped the present carefully and awaited my parent’s joyful reaction. None came; Mother pulled back the papers, took one look and shuddered, throwing the item on the table. That is all I recall about that holiday. Mother was a good woman who hadn’t a clue about children. Her daughter must certainly have good taste; after all she was a Morse, to the manor born. I learned a valuable lesson. No matter what the gift I received from my young I cherished it and still have some. I knew they put their hearts in the choice. [Once at a rummage sale, Rosemary Provost, chairman of the jewelry department, “gave” my four-year-old daughter Jennie the ugliest pin one has even seen; she said it was to be a present for her mother. Rosemary and I were great friends; she got a kick out of it, as did I. I dutifully wore the piece.] After my father’s death when we relocated to Tucson, holidays were more predictable. Every year we would gather at a friend’s for caroling around the piano. We spent Christmas with friends or hosted dinners. One year I was invited to spend Christmas at a ranch outside of Tucson with my best friend and her parents. I was around 12. I loved to ride, and adored the ranch, but demurred because I would miss my mother and the Nativity service at the church. ”Don’t worry, dear, God is all around you, especially in nature,” I was told. So I spent a few days on roundups and helping with branding, but Santa found us Christmas morning. As I grew older the caroling moved to outside, serenading neighborhoods, hayrides to take the place of sleighrides. When I was about 16 our singing culminated with a visit to a ranch outside of town where there was a traditional party. My date convinced me that “fish house punch” was fruit juice. I am sure he regretted the ruse, as I was sick all the way into town. When I graduated and we moved to the Monterey Peninsula, my holidays were spent predominantly in San Francisco where I worked for an advertising company. I remember the tree at the City of Paris (who could forget it?). Once, after a bout of shopping at Joseph Magnin’s, I jumped on a cable car. I was loaded with bags, the conductor would accept only change, I had none and was ignominiously told to debark…during the season the public modes of transportation were so loaded that the people in charge had no need to be patient or courteous.. I carefully shopped for Mother, took them to her a few weeks prior to the day, she opened every one at once. On my pitiful budget I shopped for more. On the Monterey Peninsula my young friends and I had one huge goal; get to the Mission Ranch by Midnight. Ted Holt and I had gone to a gathering in Pacific Grove, the witching hour was approaching, we jumped into the car and headed for Carmel on the turn right before the overhead bridge we went off the road. The bob wire fence impeded our progress. There was a friend behind us;he picked us up, we made the Ranch in time to celebrate and in the morning collected Ted’s car. Times were different. We drank too much and partied too hard but the local police paid no attention. Often I wonder how we survived, especially when I think about the drives home from Nepenthe, the car loaded with revelers, the most sober — which isn’t saying much — behind the wheel. Most of us went on to become responsible members of society; it just took more time to mature. Next week I will continue the Holiday saga...

Otter Views Once the wind died, Monday proved bonny for walking and cetacean-spotting along the Lover’s Point-Asilomar coastline. Far out at sea, rolling dark backs and dorsal fins glistened in the winter sun. Thin white blows hung on a horizon so sharp that bygone mariners would have feared sailing over its edge. Closer to shore, long vees of pelicans glided past, as evenly spaced as holiday bulbs on a string. Their flat trajectory matched the horizon until some sentinel rock or breaking wave created an updraft. Then each flight line would veer off as suddenly and sinuously as ice skaters playing “crack the whip.” After rounding Point Pinos, I turned to count one of those long pelican strings. That’s when I spotted a whale far behind me, way out past the two-mile buoy. Its blows indicated it was heading languidly southward. If I maintained a steady pace, I was sure I could reach Asilomar before it did. I crunched off determinedly along the path. But racing a whale is harder than it sounds. For one thing, my whale kept disappearing. I’ve lost sight of race rivals before, but never for an hour at a time. In canoe paddling, channel swells might hide the other boats, but they eventually surf back into view. And even way behind in a footrace, I could still see the distant ant-column of faster runners up ahead. But after the Point Pinos sighting, my whale utterly vanished. As I rounded each point and outcrop along the coast, I’d stop and scan the sea behind me to no avail. I figured I must have so far outpaced the whale that its spouts were no longer even visible. Out of consideration for my overmatched rival, I slackened my speed. This left lots of time for reflection. Luckily, the current holiday season has provided much to reflect upon. My first thought was for the 20 intrepid crews who had left Monterey Harbor the previous night to stage California’s only open-water holiday boat parade. With complex arrays of colored lights dancing and twinkling in an inky sky, the fleet processed grandly up the coast past Cannery Row, looped back to the harbor entrance, then repeated the circuit. A headline in Monday’s Herald deemed the seagoing pageant “informal,” but it certainly looked formal to shivering spectators ashore. Counting the ghostly, glittering outlines of the boats was akin to counting pelicans in flight, but there were 18 vessels at least. I’d say the crews displayed high-level formality in getting the boats safely in and out of the harbor and keeping them in line amid bumptious winds and seas. The Spanish Armada should have been so formal. My favorite entry was the fish, with the Christmas tree a close second. I was pleased to learn later that each boat won a prize, even if only for “bluest” or “most attenuated” lighting design. Judging by how cold the icy wind felt in various viewing nooks along Cannery Row, the salt-whipped crews offshore definitely earned their blueness trophies. As I waited for my whale to catch up, my mind roved over other recent holiday season events. Enjoying a much warmer night than the boat parade was the PG Holiday Parade of Lights, which drew hundreds of bundled celebrants to Lighthouse Avenue. This year’s top selling curbside novelties were pulsing, multi-hued sorcery swords. Stillwell’s Fun in the Park made up in merriment, jumping castles and free carnival rides what it lacked in snow. Across town, the Monterey Aquarium welcomed thousands for its free local admissions days. The psychedelic jellyfish exhibit with organ music by Booker T was very jiggy, but the see-through crashing wave tunnel got my vote. Another chilly evening took me to a PG Catholic church, which treated members and their guests to an elaborate holiday dinner and cabaret-style music revue in the parish hall. I missed the dinner, but the show set hosannas ringing in the lavishly decorated hall, which even featured an ersatz skating rink. These reminiscences occupied me until I reached a bench overlooking Spanish Bay. Scanning the horizon slowly and methodically, I finally spotted a single whale spout far to the south, seemingly off Cypress Point. “No way my whale could have gotten that far ahead,” I reasoned. “Must be a different one.” The walk back was relatively cetacean-free until Point Pinos, where two pods of feeding Risso’s dolphins flew ragged kite tails of spectator gulls. Then, just off Lover’s Point, a mother humpback and her calf swam serenely by as the sunset turned the sea a shimmering, incandescent pink. As if energized by the twilight, the calf put on a show of its own, leaping, spinning and breaching repeatedly. I was impressed, but I think I could still beat them to Asilomar.

PKRASA From Page 15 1/3 of the estate will be combined and will be divided

equally among their four total children (three children of Larry and one child of Curly) and each of those children of a pre-deceased child will receive 1/6 of the entire estate. “Per capita at each generation” treats all children of pre-deceased beneficiaries the same. Conclusion If you find this confusing, consider the fact that I went to law school so I wouldn’t have to do math! Regardless of your proficiency at determining fractions of fractions, understanding the basic concept behind these different survivorship options can help you determine how you would like your estate divided in the event of pre-deceased beneficiaries. Although when planning your estate you are free to choose any of the three options above or any other option you develop through the power of your imagination, the default option under California law is “by representation.”

Another Elephant Seal Lands on Hopkins Beach

Do you hear the theme from ‘Jaws’? By Thom Akeman A large elephant seal climbed onto a Pacific Grove beach during the weekend and joined the hundreds of smaller harbor seals that frequent the place. The visiting elephant seal is an adult male, believed to be about 5 years old and weighing an estimated 1,600 pounds or more. He came in about 10 a.m. Saturday while Kim Worrell, a docent with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s Bay Net program, was standing alongside The Coastal Trail at Hopkins Marine Station photographing the variety of wildlife visible from there. The big guy shimmied to the top of the beach and slept there peacefully for the next few days. This is believed to be the 6th bull elephant seal that has appeared on Hopkins beach since February 2010, when the first one in known history showed up. Smaller ones have been appearing sporadically since December 2004, usually in winter and spring months, possibly because the population has been growing. They are presumably visitors from the nearest large colonies – approximately 100 miles south at Piedras Blancas near San Simeon, where as many as 16,000 elephant seals gather in December and January, or 60 miles north at An︠ o Nuevo State Park above Santa Cruz, where about 5,000 gather. The large bulls are aggressive and can be mean towards the harbor seals that normally use the Hopkins beach, docile animals that may weigh 200-250 pounds. The first bull here in 2010 killed at least one harbor seal in a move to assert mastery on the Hopkins beach. Others have chased the harbor seals away at times, corralled them on one side or the other, tried mounting them, and generally harassed them as bullies will. Earlier this year – in January – there were two bulls on the beach at the same time. They sometimes sparred when not on opposite sides of beach and kept many of the resident harbor seals away and scattered elsewhere. One of the elephant seals - a 6-year-old, 2,000-pound bull that came in last December - ended up staying at Hopkins for 10 weeks with occasional absences of a few hours to a few days. The one that arrived last weekend will stay as long as he wants, of course, and will create whatever mischief he likes while here. Seeing him is probably worth a walk over, even in cold weather.

Look out, all you wimpy little harbor seals!
