Becca, Alabama and Diesel were the center of his universe. They were a family unit that did everything together. Even trips to the grocery store would include all four of them. We wonder now, if they knew their time was short and wanted every second possible to be spent together. We hope that strong feeling of presence and unity stays with Alabama and Diesel forever. One of the biggest gifts Brett shared with all of us is his awesome sense of humor. No matter what type of situation, good or bad, he made us laugh. He was quick witted and often brought us to tears with laughter. He had a huge smile with a sweet twinkle in his eye. He was a super funny guy until the end.

So, that’s like a 30-year period.” Michael Baer of Carmel Valley said “it should not be a deal breaker” if it doesn’t look like savings will be come early. But he also said “we could manipulate the numbers to get savings early” by having, for instance, a 50-year bond so that future generations would also have to pay for the takeover. Public Water Now managing director Melodie Chrislock told water district directors that the group doesn’t have a prob- lem with any savings occurring long after an acquisition of Cal Am’s system. “While Public Water Now, with Measure J, said ‘Yes, we’re going to have savings, we want savings, we’ll find savings,’” Chrislock said. “We didn’t really care whether we had them now or then.” And Monterey resident Dan Turner called the idea that cost savings have to be immediate, “idiotic.” However, Rick Heuer said “saving money” was “what the entire” Measure J “campaign was sold on,” and that savings should be immediate for a takeover to be in the public interest. “If there isn’t savings on day one, it isn’t in the public ben- efit, because I’m not going to be around, at least I don’t think so, 30 years from now,” Heuer said. ‘Lower costs’ While campaign materials created by Public Water Now advertised “affordable water” and “lower costs” with the passage of Measure J and creation of a public water system, the group did not put a timeline on any possible savings. The group’s petition even claimed Measure J was a “cost savings initiative” until a judge in late August 2018 ordered it to re- move that phrase from the ballot. Riley walked back Public Water Now’s campaign claims last week. “The campaign did not promise anything, except, let’s do a feasibility study,” he said. “There were a lot of arguments made about why it was attractive to do the study, why it was attractive to go down that road. But the promise was, ‘Let’s get the facts.’” InIn youryour 50s,30s, youyou startedhad too to many look yourquestions. age. Public Water Now has said it could cost anywhere from about $225 million to $350 million to purchase Cal Am, and that Peninsula water customers could “afford” the buyout. Cal Am, which has said it’s not for sale, claims it’s worth about $1 billion. Paul Bruno of Monterey called the eminent domain attor- ney’s determination that costs would have to come early a tes- tament to “honesty and transparency.” “Measure J was sold on the numbers,” Bruno said. “It was sold on savings.” Kevin Dayton with the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce said that “a lot of our leaders and members” are Here, you’re as young as you feel. 02- 57 - #77 7 7'70*7 7,'7 Every age has its joys and challenges, whether you’re 20 or 40.

Is that something to be worried about? The answer is definitely, “No,” but to understand why, you need some basic knowledge about water — a sub- stance so common, most people give no thought to what it really is, where it came from or how it got there. So let’s go through the first principles: QThe amount of water on the Earth is about the same today as it was millions of years ago. When you “use” water, you aren’t using it up at all. What you’re do- ing is borrowing it for a brief period before returning it to the environment. QNot only is the amount of water the same as it always has been, the water itself is the very same water that’s been on our planet through all recorded history and for a long, long time before that. All of your remotest ancestors, the dinosaurs and every living thing that preceded them — they all used the exact same water we use today. Which means that when you drink a glass of water, or anything contain- ing water, you are consuming water that has probably passed through the bodies of numerous other animals and/or humans of one kind or another. QA molecule of water is one of the smallest and lightest substances on Earth, being composed of two atoms of hydrogen (the smallest element) and one of ox- ygen (the eighth smallest). Which means that a molecule of water is very, very small — smaller, in fact, than almost everything on the periodic table of elements, much smaller than all complex substances, and much, much smaller than even the simplest living organisms, such as bacteria.
