Some of the more “veteran” teachers may find that they are already familiar with the principles involved with the Common Core, Porras said, noting that it was only with the No Child 2Left Behind Act that current methods of standardization were put into place. “No C2hild Left Behind changed the way we were teaching. Education became kind of watered down. It was more breadth, less depth. The Common Core is more about the depth.” The new standards, which have an emphasis in collaboration and communication, are “challenging,” Porras said, “but not overwhelming.” At PGUSD, the development of the Core has really been a “grassroots” operation,” Porras said. A group of lead teachers have been immersing themselves in Core technique and information, and are now teaching it to their colleagues. “We’re really fortunate in this district,” Porras said,”to have such amazing teachers. We’re excited about this. We’re getting ready for next year.” One important aspect of the new Core Standards is that the assessments are primarily tech based- meaning the students take the tests on computers. This is part of the reason the proposed Education Technology Bond is such an important issue, Porras explained. Passage of the Ed. Tech Bond would allow the district to update and better maintain their technology and equipment, and really increase the scope of learning that can be done in a classroom. “We could be using technology as a tool,” Porras said, “It needs to be an everyday learning tool.” Student use of technology would include updated computers, software, and possibly tablets. It gives teachers the ability to enhance their instruction as well, through things like document cameras and Smart Boards, Porras said. Similarly, the idea of reconfiguration is also a key issue in light of these new standards. In an environment where collaborative effort between students and teach- ers is key, having all the students of the same grade level on the same campus would dramatically streamline the process, Porras said. “It would be a huge boon to have them together,” he said, “it would be more pro- ductive, and it really tunes right into the Common Core Standards.” “We all want the best for the students,” he said. “And the Standards are really well designed. We’re already in line.”

Because these engines relied on air to cool them rather than complex cooling systems, the weight of the cars was reduced, providing better relative fuel economy compared to standard vehicles that were often much larger and heavier. For many who lived during the auto- mobile revolution of the 1960s, including Coscino, the Volkswagen Beetle and Bus epitomize the life and times of mid-century America. These vehicles were often modi- fied to suit the owners’ personal stylistic tastes, with flowers and rainbows on VW Transporters common among owners be- longing to the hippie movement.

Get a new grip

Many of my students come in with great golf clubs, but I see many with grips on their clubs that are shot, slick and worn. The weekend player often forgets to do maintenance on their equipment such as the need to change their grips every two years. When grips get worn and slick it will affect golf shots. I would recommend changing your grips on all of your clubs every two years. Page14 • CEDAR STREET Times • July 12, 2013

Gracie Porter sent from Tucson the “Adventures of Mary Worth” so I could stay well up on our favorite comic paper character missing in the local newspaper. Occasionally we would drive to Indianapolis to shop which was highlighted by lunch in the Aires Tea Room which served a coconut cream pie I shall never forget. Then it was over, time to go home. Mother found another college student who was heading back to the University. We bid adieu to Mary and started out. It wasn’t long before there was a noticeable problem with the motor. Steam erupted from under the hood. Naturally this occurred miles from nowhere, near one of those towns with six people, five of whom were in the fields. The problem was a blanket that had been thrown over the engine. Mary, who didn’t drive, had feared that the rain the night before our departure might damage the mechanical function and wanted to keep it dry. Time and an outlay of funds resolved the issue and we were on our way. This driver, Stewart Bailey, was wonderful, clean, cheerful and a youth who was to become a long time friend. I saw George and Jane Breedlove 10 years later at the bar in the Casa Madrona Hotel in Sausalito, not having communicated for years. It is, indeed, a very small world.

Many of you have asked about Zane, the wounded German Shephard. Here is an update from the AFRP Web Site.

Zane, the German shepherd who was hit by a car and left on the side of the road for three days in Salinas, is doing well! It’s been several weeks since his surgery to repair his fractured right front leg and right hind leg. He can now stand on his own, and can take short walks with the help of a sling. Zane still has a long road of recovery ahead, but if he could talk, he’d want to thank all the com- passionate people who sent posi- tive thoughts and made donations towards his medical care. He’d also thank Dr. Mehalick for putting him back together, and the clinic staff for taking such good care of him. Zane will soon be looking for a foster home or a new home of his own.

Donald Kohrs is Branch Library Specialist at the Miller Library of Stanford Uni- versity’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove. Don has degrees in biology and library science and his current efforts entail researching the history of the Pacific Coast Assembly of the Chautauqua Literary and Science Circle (1880-1926), the history of the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory (1892-1925) and the early years of the Hopkins Ma- rine Station (1917-1950). Beyond these efforts, Don is working to organize and make available the personal and professional interests of the famous marine biologist, Edward F. Rickets. For the lecture on July 19, Don Kohrs will share his recent findings associ- ated with summer gatherings of the Chautauqua Assemblies in Pacific Grove and the strong emphasis the founders of the assembly placed on the instruction of the natural sciences, romantic literature, and the arts. In addition, he will speak to the organizing of Chautauqua Circles throughout the State of California, and how these Chautauqua reading circles seeded the establishing of the California Federation of Women’s Club; a federation whose political efforts would be directed towards the protection and preservation of nature. For those who want to read more about Chautauqua in Pacific Grove, he has made the first eight draft chapters of his current book available online at chautauqua.stanford.edu.

Volunteers remove 1,497 pounds of beach pollution Save Our Shores and 269 Star Spangled Beach Cleanup volunteers prevented 1,497 pounds of trash and debris from polluting beaches at 11 sites at the the annual July 5 Star Spangled Beach Cleanup. The cleanup is the second largest community cleanup of the year on the Central Coast. Santa Cruz cleanups took place at Cowell/Main, Seabright, Twin Lakes, Mo- ran Lake, Capitola, Panther, It’s Beach, Davenport Main and Seacliff/Rio Del Mar Beaches. Monterey County cleanups took place at Del Monte Beach at Wharf #2 and Carmel Beach. In past years, SOS has noticed trash cans overflow- ing at the beach on July 5 so it was decided to fund the rental of four large dumpsters for Twin Lakes, Davenport, Cowell/Main and Seabright beaches. The trash at these beaches was severely decreased because of these dump- sters and State Parks staff mentioned that they made a huge difference for their cleanup efforts since the trash cans were not overflowing as much as in past years. The top three dirtiest beaches, in order, determined by total poundage removed, were: Cowell/Main Beach with 332 pounds, Seabright Beach 213 pounds and Moran Lake Beach with 167 pounds. “We appreciate the community working with us to keep our beaches clean this July Fourth, and we hope that can continue throughout the busy summer season. We were happy to see that the beaches were much cleaner this year; it was a great effort by all,” said Laura Kasa, executive director of SOS. Declaring their independence from plastic pollution, the July Fourth Pollution Prevention Team consisted of 26 volunteers who handed out 2,255 trash and recycling bags at seven high-traffic beaches in Santa Cruz and Nearly 1,500 pounds of trash was picked up from Santa Cruz Ciunty and Monterey County beaches over Monterey Counties. The team spoke to 4,517 beach goers the July 4th holiday. Above, a sampling from Seabright Beach. Photo provided by Save Our Shores. about plastic pollution. This effort has proved critical in stemming the tide of trash on the beaches. July 12, 2013 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 20
