Other Random Thoughts First, I would like to thank Marge Ann Jameson, editor and publisher of Cedar Street Times for reviving the CarmelVoice which has been dormant for awhile. Good Lord Deliver Us! There is much happening in Carmel that hasn’t been reported, and we’ll do our best to keep you apprised of the goings on in every facet of Carmel It is Halloween, the time of the Scottish prayer “From ghoulies and ghosties and life. long leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us.” • Halloween today is fun and gentle. When I was a child, we pranked a great deal. Once Condolences are in order for two friends whom I lost recently. Ed Dick- we moved items from one small basement to that of neighbor, put porch furniture from inson, who worked for me when I owned KRML and was someone I worked one house to another. Later toilet paper adornment was a favorite “trick.” Witches were with during our early broadcast years. We both spun records on Wharf #2 at of fairy tails. To be sure the ones with which I grew up, the Grimm Brothers, have been KMBY, whose transmitter tower was located there. It made it rough when sanitized over the years. I slept with the light on after seeing Snow White; the Wicked Witch of the West terrified me and, later, my children. We didn’t think about or know about the unspeakably terrible time in Massachusetts when 20 people were executed because they were accused of witchcraft. Arthur Miller, who was questioned by the House of Representatives’ Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956, was convicted of “contempt of Congress” for refusing to identify others present at meetings he attended. Miller and many other artists were black listed. Some never recovered; Joseph McCarthy and his ilk were the witch hunters of their time... Miller wrote “The Crucible” in 1953 as his protest of McCarthyism. This play educated many Americans about the horror of the Salem Witch Trials. While many of the facts were true, some were fictionalized. Others, including names, were correct. The Salem Witch Trials took place in 1692 and 1693. Before they were over, 19 had been hanged, primarily women (and in one study I read, three dogs). “The Cru- cible” covered the persecution of many of these people, including Giles and Martha Corey. It all began in the spring of 1692, after a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. A wave of hysteria spread throughout colonial Massachusetts. A special court convened in Salem to hear the cases; the first convicted was Bridget Bishop who was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed on Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women and children were accused over the next several months. By 1693 the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials. The stigma lasted for many years. In the case of Martha and Giles Corey, he refused to admit his guilt, nor deny it. The theory was that his property would not go to his heirs; however, most of it had already been confiscated. He was pressed to death by stones placed on his body. It took three days for him to succumb. Martha was subsequently hanged. William Morse, my ancestor, was a key figure in the only case of witchcraft in Newbury that was ever subjected to a full legal investigation in 1680. William’s wife, Ed Dickinson and me onWharf #2 in front of the old radio transmitter Elizabeth, resided with him in a house at the head of Market Street. Two little old people living out their final days, oblivious of what was to come. There were strange goings the seas were acting up and the pilings shook. The needle scooted across the on which William attributed to the supernatural (a common conception in early New record creating a weird sound. Dickinson played the “oldies” to the delight of England). A belief in witch craft was universal, giving a solution to anything strange many on the Central Coast. and mysterious. Another friend with whom I attended college and with whom I played a Caleb Powell, a seaman, suspected the Morse’s grandson of the mischief. Anthony few rounds of golf was Larry Segovia of Monterey. Segovia’s Bar is a popular Morse, Williams’s brother, was terrified about the strange goings-on at his brother’s spot on Lighthouse Ave., in New Monterey. Sports enthusiasts and those in the house. There were scores of bricks coming down the fireplace. Items were there and know (me included) feel Larry was perhaps the “best” all-around athlete to call disappeared, probably purloined by the boy. William reported the occurrences and this area his home. He was a great running back, a good basketball player, a Caleb, who had knowledge of astrology, was tried as a witch and finally acquitted. The super baseball player (he played Triple-A nall with Maury Wills), and wasn’t bad court looked for another guilty person “of being instigated by the devil,” and, for some at golf. He ws no physical giant either ... stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. The reason, selected Elizabeth Morse as the culprit. William at the time was 65, Elizabeth late Danny Holman is another of the great local athletes who was recognized some years older.

In • spite of her protesting her complete innocence, she was found guilty and sentenced That was quite a bash my radio partner, Dave Marzetti and his wife Teri on May 27. “Elizabeth Morse, you are to go from hence to the place from which you threw a few nights ago to celebrate Dave’s birthday.

On of the chief accusers was Ann Putnam, Jr. into five areas: Public Safety; Public Works; Building and Planning; Adminis- tration; and Culture/Events/Marketing. Jane Roland welcomes comments and suggestions [email protected] If such a move were taken it would improve local confidence in council members “doing the right thing.” The drawback can be worked out...that is, a council person trying to give professiona advice in an area unfamiliar to them. I like the fact that there are those in our community who want to know more, particulrly when it comes to “checks and balances.” Running amok is not the answer. Kudos to Kreitman and his group. We’ll keep you posted. • What happened to Carmel’s uniqueness? We were an artist colony with the best who handled a brush, poets and writers live here; motion picture stars resided here because there was natural beauty everywhere...no hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and Hollywood. Yes, we were unique. And now, someone conjures up an idea for parking meters on ocean Avenue. The say it’s an experiment. Does this solve the parking problem? I think it creates a problem. But it does raise revenues. Ah, so that’s it...it’s all about money. Do we ever have enough? Again, what happened to Carmel’s uniqueness?

Michael Kelly CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE Pacific Grove Veterans Day Muster Council Needs to See that Pacific Grove has Three Business Districts 2014 To Brian Brooks: In your printed campaign material and candidate's statement in the Cedar Street Times you say, “Working closely with our three business districts to increase exposure...” While I appreciate you recognizing that the Sunset area is one of our business districts to be supported there is one that everyone on the City Council and Chamber seems to be able to ignore completely. The Central Ave. business district has long been the “red-headed stepchild” of Pacific Grove, even though a visitors center was recently added at the entrance to Pacific Grove on Central and Eardley. After managing a business on Central Ave. for more than 18 years, I can tell you that this area has many successful businesses that need to be included in the mindset of the Pacific Grove City Council and the candidates running for said council. There are many issues decided or trying to be decided that affect this area of town and we need a person on the Council who recognizes this, My vote is not decided but I can say that I would seriously consider a candidate who realizes that the Pacific Grove business district does NOT begin with the downtown area.

A third work room held an antique cider press into which volunteers poured apple slices. Kids were invited to crank the press and watch the “oozings” collect beneath a cheese cloth. As festival goers far outnumbered oozings, the resulting cider could only be sampled in small cups, but what an elixir. It was the very essence of apple. Apples themselves held court in a tent village that had been set up on the grassy verge of an orchard. Beneath the tents were several long tables arranged in a square. Inside the square, 20 or more apple growers busily slivered up and plated their favorites. Outside the square, the apple tasters formed a long, leisurely centipede that shuffled in a counter-clockwise direction from one station to the next. Each taster was issued a toothpick, a pencil and a score sheet and invited to choose three favorites. Upon completing the circuit, tasters could affix little shiny S t hearts, stars and dots onto a master chart, thus marking their choices.

These professionals are highly regulated by the State of California, and when acting within a court setting, a judge carefully scrutinizes their work. Even in a private, non- court setting, a Licensed Professional Fiduciary is under the scrutiny of the client’s attorney and the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau, the latter of which can bring an enforcement action against a licensee who violates the law and can impose fines, sanctions, and license suspensions or revocations as well as refer suspected criminal cases for prosecution. In short, Licensed Professional Fiduciaries are well-trained and well-regulated professionals whom the State deems competent to handle the intimate affairs of others. Using a Licensed Professional Fiduciary in lieu of a Trust Officer at a bank may result in significant savings to the client as the former are usually amenable to working on an hourly fee basis instead of using the flat “percentage-of- assets-under-management” computation that banks tend to use. This, in turn, may result in significantly more assets being passed on to one’s beneficiaries rather than being eaten up by fiduciary fees. Our community welcomes a new Licensed Professional Fiduciary with a tremen- dous resume of talent. In 1984, Robert Hulet graduated as one of only two University of Arizona students to ever earn four business degrees in four years [B.S. in Account- ing, B.S. in Finance, B.S. in Management Information Systems, B.S. in General Business (with emphasis in marketing)] and earn the magna cum laude distinction to boot. He retired in 2010 as the President of a multi-million dollar, multi-location company with a long-term record of successful project management. Since then, Robert has served as a consultant to privately owned businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada, utilizing a dynamic system of business tools that allows him to quickly dissect a company and get to the heart of the issues that impedes a company from reaching its full potential. In seeking his fiduciary license, Robert desires to give back to the community by offering services to those who are the most vulnerable among us. He and his wife, Cindy, are long-time Pacific Grove residents who are now empty nesters after having Traditional Cataract surgery is performed with a blade.... raised five children. Robert states that his ability to make solid professional decisions derives not just from his business acumen, but also from his and Cindy’s management of a blended family and years of setting boundaries with children to encourage their success.

Participants collaborate and share information about services available to the growing community of homeless women, which ranges from teens with babies to 80-something grandmothers living in cars. Pacific Grove city councilmen Rudy Fischer and Ken Cuneo compiled a spring 2014 report entitled “A Homeless Chal- lenge—The search for a long-term solution” which cites statistics based on the 2013 Monterey County Homeless Census and Survey Reports: There an estimated 2,590 homeless people in total; 1,244 on the Peninsula. Some 79 percent grew up here, lived here, worked here. Reasons for homelessness include: 41 percent—loss of home; 26 percent—loss of job; 14 percent—divorce. Health problems and family crises made up the balance. Twenty-eight percent of Monterey’s homeless are women. Councilmen Fischer and Cuneo conducted a matching fund campaign in which Pacific Grove would donate $1 per resident to a fund to help the homeless, provided three other Peninsula cities joined PG. To date, Sand City, Monterey and Carmel are part of the matching-grant coalition. Sea- side will consider joining at its mid-year budget session. Timothy Barrett, candidate for Mon- terey City Council, organized the first public forum to address homessness in 2012 and is a supporter of the I-HELP (Shelter Outreach) program that provides a meal and shelter to homeless men at thirty local churches and synagogues. An I-HELP program for women is on the drawing board for the next round of fundraising. Marian Penn, Kathy Whilden and Fr. Michael Reid are co-organizers of the Fund for Homeless Women and the Friends of Homeless Women. Linda Henderson is chairperson of the brunch, planning sessions for which are held on Mondays at Christian Church of Pacific Grove. For information about volunteering, donating silent auction items, or ordering tickets, call 831-372-7432. Wanda Sue Parrott is author of The Boondoggler’s Bible—How to Fight Like City Hall to Win!
