With the June 5 election just over the horizon, the competition to get voters’ attention has led to a lost two dogs proliferation of very large campaign signs in front yards throughout the Monterey Peninsula.

There is no legal mountain lion was shot and killed May 15 by a caretaker for limit on the size of temporary campaign signs in a family whose dog was killed by the lion the day before, most towns, as these signs demonstrate. according to local residents and the California Department of Fish and Game. According to CDFG spokesman Kyle Orr, the man who shot the lion lost another of his dogs in April. As many as 15 dogs disappeared over the last two months in the area of Pfeiffer Beach, which is about 27 miles south of Carmel. After a dog was killed early last week, Orr explained, the dog’s owner followed blood and drag marks, and found a mountain lion standing over his dog. He fired a shot and “dis- patched the lion.” Orr said the lion was a 7-year-old male that weighed about 100 pounds. All of the attacks occurred along a narrow coastal strip of land that is one of the most densely populated and developed parts of Big Sur. The attacks sent a ripple of fear through the rural coastal community. One resident, after losing one of her dogs, began to watch her other dog “like a hawk.” Despite her best efforts, her other dog disappeared one night just seconds after it was let out her front door. The lion evidently was hiding nearby and waiting for the dog to come outside. A 10-day depredation permit for the mountain lion was issued by CDFG in April, but the predator managed to elude the efforts of a federal trapper. “We always tell people that mountain lions see you much more often than you see them,” Orr said.

During their discussion, designer Ben Wise asked if he could speak, but Paterson told him it was too late, as the pub- lic hearing was already closed. Wise said he was told the hearing would be held at 5, although the meeting started at 4:30 p.m. The McPartlands’ application was third on the pub- lic hearings agenda, and the first item was put off at the request of the applicants. Such meetings follow no set sched- ule, and there’s no guarantee a particular item will come up for discussion at a specific time. After the board, minus absent member Mary Bell, unani- mously voted to again approve the McPartlands’ garage, Troxell approached the dais and was dismayed to learn she had also missed her opportunity to speak. She too said she was told the hearing would begin around 5 p.m. “But I’m the appellant,” she protested. Troxell said she had waved from the back of the room at some point, but no one had responded. Paterson assured her the board considered all the facts in its decision. “I’m sorry you weren’t here, but the meeting started at 4:30,” he said. “The motion has been passed, and there’s nothing we can do about it now.” Troxell can again appeal the board’s approval to the city council if she chooses.

Sheriff needs deputies

THE MONTEREY County Sheriff’s Office has 43 job openings for law enforcers and is offering a $3,500 signing bonus. Job seekers can tackle the first step in the hiring process — the Peace Officer Standards and Training written exam — in Salinas Friday, June 1, or Saturday, June 2. Cmdr. Lisa Nash said the signing bonus includes $700 upon hiring, $1,050 after 90 days and $1,750 at the end of one year. Monthly salaries range from $4,538 to $6,198 and will increase 3 percent in July. Following the written exam, applicants must pass the physical ability test — to be held Friday, June 22, in Salinas — an extensive background investigation, a psychological evaluation and a medical exam. The MCSO is located at 1414 Natividad Road in Salinas. Participants on either date should pick up an application at the office or online at www.joinmcso.com. Check-in time is at 8 a.m. either day, and photo identification is required. For more information, call (831) 755-3742. 'OT2OOTS %P

Today’s Real Estate by MAUREEN MASON Certified Residential Specialist

CLEARING UP “FREE AND CLEAR”? “Free and clear” means you have unencumbered title to your real estate. In other words, you don’t own it with the lender you’re making payments to because you either (1) didn’t need to take out a loan in order to buy it or (2) found a way to pay off that loan. Now, today’s reality is that most properties come encumbered with certain zoning ordinances and use restrictions, which envi- ronmental concerns have multiplied in recent years. So there may be no such thing as genuinely “free and clear”—but there is such a thing as “free and clear” of any loans. How valuable is it to be free and clear of all loans? Certainly, our grandparents thought it the ideal way to own a home, but they didn’t enjoy the many tax benefits we do today surrounding the payments we make on our home loans. Nor did they ever see their equity in their homes mushroom the way we have, creating money that can be used for debt consolidation, medical emer- gencies, educational and investment opportunities, creation of second businesses, or any number of other possibilities. Nowadays, owning a home whose equity we can borrow against and whose existing loan we can refinance has proven a huge ben- efit for a vast number of homeowners. Still, it’s important for those enthralled with the deductibility of interest payments to remember that you can only deduct from what you’ve actually paid—and often the ideal is to be paying as little as possible in the first place, even though you can reduce it with tax deductions.

704 Broadway Avenue, Seaside • 658-0178 Young world traveler Born in Washington State, Matters lived in Nigeria and Ghana as his father’s work with the Ford Foundation required, and graduated from high school at The American School near Lugano, Switzerland. He received a B.A. in English literature from Whitworth College, where he married 1 ÊÓääÇ and embraced the Christian faith. He and his wife, Andrea, moved to Seattle, where he taught school until they relocated to New York City so he could attend General Theological Seminary. He obtained master’s degrees in divinity and “sacred theology in the New Testament.” Matters served parishes in Asheville, N.C., and Everett, +HDOWK\+DSSHQLQJV Wash., before moving to Lodi in 1993.

Why the sudden interest?

ALMOST 10 years ago, a front-page story in The Pine Cone got a lot of national attention. The story, “Voter Fraud easy as 1, 2, 3,” showed how simple it was, under California law at the time, to register and vote more than once with your own name or under an assumed name. You could vote multiple times using your real address or any phony address that struck your fancy. Because there wasn’t any cross-checking among California’s counties, it wouldn’t have taken any cleverness at all to vote 53 times, our investigation showed. Or, if you preferred, you could register under 50 or 60 different names, ask for absentee ballots for all of them, and commit voter fraud without leaving your living room. Under the pretext of encouraging maximum voter participation, one of President Bill Clinton’s first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to sign a law mandating that every state relax its voting laws. It actually became a federal offense to require someone to show ID when registering to vote. The mythology behind the law was that requiring somebody to show ID when he signed up to vote would somehow discourage the poor, the elderly or mem- bers of some other presumably downtrodden group from voting. Of course, all the reporters who parroted that line never produced an actual person who could illustrate the phenomenon. That’s because there wasn’t actually anybody in this country who (a) was legally entitled to vote, (b) wanted to vote and (c) would make the effort to register but immediately run for cover as soon as a voting offi- “That’s right, sir, we found your Dream House ... four bedrooms, four baths and a three-car garage.
