He also stressed that the city and the district had worked hard to build good relations but “You damaged that relationship!” Kelly also noted that the school population has been basically stable for the past 10 years as has been the neighborhood, and Verizon by their own admission has good coverage in the area, so he questioned why this is needed.

Guerrero Ask ARK Lady Does your pet cower, quiver, behave frantically or become destructive in response to noise? Noise phobia triggered by fireworks, garbage trucks, and thunder storms need behavior modification. You can temporarily address these problems quickly with a few pet precautions. Pets exhibit noise phobia differently and so while some critters might just hide under furniture, many may become destructive to the environment and often injure themselves as well. All negative responses come from diverse triggers and the age of your pet, socialization, experience, and breed can also influence their reactions. Accidental reinforcement can escalate the symptoms of this pet problem so avoid cuddling, petting, holding, and attempting to physically relieve the stress. Good verbal reassurance is okay as it doesn’t usually reinforce stress behavior. Generally, animals with an established history of problems will likely worsen while elderly animals may get better simply because they lose their hearing. There are ways to work through noise phobia exhibited before and during thunderstorms or throughout firework displays, but it takes time and preparation. In the meantime use some quick tips and tools to address the problem behavior prior to any holidays or events where fireworks are prevalent. Quick Tips: Keep your animals inside during the fireworks event and for a few days to a week prior to the holiday. Make sure you have a tag with current information on your pet during this time. If you take your animal outside for toileting or any other activity, make sure he or she is under physical restraint via a collar and leash. Leave your pets safely at home instead of taking them to picnics or other holiday events. Play music or turn on a radio station with soothing music to help mask outside noises. Buy a plug-in Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) dispenser. This permeates the air and helps reduces fear and anxiety. Keep your pet busy with activities or chew items before the height of noise making occurs. Create a safe haven. If your animal is habituated to a crate, you may want to provide access for security. Some animals want to hide and will feel safe in a favorite spot, like under the bed. You can create sleeping bag tunnel or similar option for them. Plan a party and play instead of participating in other events. Making new traditions can be fun and helpful for your pet. Consider boarding your pet at a professional kennel for the holiday. Be sure to also watch guests--an open door or gate can provide an opportunity for animals to bolt outside. When you can, hire a behavior professional to help you solve noise phobia for the long term. Pet owners should always check with their veterinarian or behavior specialist before using any drugs or tranquilizers. Ask your veterinary medical professional for his or her recommendation about melatonin, an oral neurohormone, or additional sugges- tions on psycho-pharmaceuticals which might provide help for sensitive animals. If you prefer alternative therapies, don’t just decide to do it on your own as animals are sensitive. For best advice, contact a holistic veterinarian about flower remedies or essences. Five Flower® or Rescue Remedy® are two essences often used to help reduce anxiety and when properly used, some essential oils may be helpful. Questions?

King David understood this when he wrote, Ps 63:3- 4, “Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.” The feelings King David Bill Cohen is expressing are the ones we will share as a crowd in heaven. It will be better than the best rock concert, the last inning of game seven of the World Series, or the last two minutes of the Super Bowl game. Reasoning God is our only true rock star! He is a rock, because He is strong and never changes, Ps 18:2, “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my With God strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” and He created all He came in His Father’s name and we crucified Him, Could it be that we have a desire deep within us to of the stars, Ps 8:3-4, “When I consider thy heavens, the Jn 5:43-44, “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye be in the presence of God?

We want to be there The difference is that God truly is a rock star. He He created us to have abundant lives, Jn 10:10: “The thief in the arena/theatre to feel the pulse.

These are folk who complain about the pine needles and Jane Roland – [email protected] insist that the offending tree needs to be removed. They are new comers. When we moved into our house it was a quiet little neighborhood where everyone knew everyone. The children ran outside to play and went trick-or-treating all over. There were vacant lots across the street and every afternoon the quail would saunter down the road, babies in tow. There were even parrots living nearby. It was truly ideal. I don’t much like the kind of change that has evolved; although, it is possible that I have lived too long. This is a new generation. If we saw a truck on the block, early on, it was delivering or repairing something. Now it is routine. The behemoths live here and often park in front of our fence. In the past neighbors would tell us they were having a party, and would we mind if they parked in front. Of course, it is not ours, it is city land, but I am still annoyed when I come home and there are five vehicles by our fence, generally a couple of trucks, no questions asked. There are a couple of people who were here when we came, but only that. The world is creeping in. Back to our tree. It is home to hundreds of woodpeckers and the trunk reflects their persistence. It is filled with holes where the birds have pecked and buried their treasure. Often we see a mass of black, white and red lined up on the bark. They fly into the yard and eat at the bird feeders and chat with each other. Their companions in the tree are squirrels, many of them, all colors, black, grey and brown who, I am sure, vie for the snacks hidden by their feathered house mates. They also use the feeder and in the evening there is often a competition between the two species. Occasionally we see woodpeckers and squirrels on the same feeder. That is one of the reasons I love the tree. Where would these creatures go were their home removed? You may be sure there are hundreds of nests buried on the branches and I imagine squirrels live there also. They have been there for many years. People walking by stop to look at the colorful array and even the thousands of holes. Many take photos and we were told our friend’s image has even gone to Europe. “But you must cut it down” exclaimed one of the new folk “I am tired of raking pine needled”. I suspect my husband might agree, he hasn’t the affinity I have for trees. Give me a forest over an ocean any day. Fortunately, no one can decide at present. The offending foliage belongs to the city and chopping would cost a fortune and take time. Hopefully we will be long gone when June 29, 2018 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 13

A Story of the Repatriation of Children

Johannesburg, South Africa • 1989

By Bob Pacelli

I had been in the UN for less than 10 days when I flew into Johannesburg with the first group of ANC to be allowed to return to South Africa, all children who had been born in the Refugee Camps. (The South Africa government could not turn them away claiming they were enemies of the state they had never set foot in SA). When we got to Soweto (for security reasons no one was told we were coming) the streets exploded with joy with folks singing and dancing as our bus was escorted. When we got to center of town it was sea of humanity as far as you could see…so we unloaded the children into the arms of their grandmothers, who had never met their grandchildren (because they had been born outside of SA in refugee camps) There was a feeling of joy and hope for the future of all refugees … (it was ille- gal for whites to enter black townships). As I stood under bright sun, women started coming up to me with photos in their hands. Some were student IDs, some still in frames. I remember the look in their eyes: a cross between hope and desperation, the look of a mother searching for her child … some who had been missing for longer than 20 years. One by one I told them I did not know where their children were but there was an NGO in Johannesburg that tries to track missing refugees. The UN was banned in South Africa at the time. I had to use my US passport to get in to the country. Many had been to the NGO many times already, and even though I could not help them they thanked me with a hug and kiss as they joined the celebration with tears in their eyes. Less than a year latter Nelson Mandela was released from prison. One of the first things he did was fly to Geneva to arrange the repatriation of thou- sands of South Africans. In the end the economic pressure from the boycott and UN sanction reunited a lot of families ...and ended apartheid. It may have taken 20 years but we should never give up.

The immigrant parents now live in fear and asking “where’s my mommy?,” “where’s my daddy?,” “where’s my brother?” and that they may never see their children again. “where’s my sister?” It seems the children are being held “hostage” as a bargaining Since writing the above, the President signed today an executive order that families tool for President Trump’s $20 billion wall. will not be separated, but that’s not the solution to the entire problem..

But he hasn’t done anything for the poor children and their parents who are still suffering from the way the USA has been welcoming them to our borders. Even the First Lady, an illegal immigrant herself, although she did make a trip to the border, can’t bring herself to take a strong and immutable stand on behalf of the parents and their children, the real victims, It’s sad that her personal sit- uation puts a damper on what she can say, even though she wants to. The fight is not over. Young lives are continuing to be seriously harmed, perhaps for life. We must act as one condemning our own government’s actions that are demeaning, inhu- mane and, frankly, an embarrassment in front of the entire world. Just today, we learn that military attorneys are being transferred for six months to assist the DOJ prosecuting the parents who have violated immigration law, including those parents whose children have been separated to who knows where. What is our country coming to? Can we imagine that the USA’s current path is sad, scary and ignoring the great princi- ples under which our country was founded? It looks like we can.

Everyone knows river rapids make the water move fast. But not everyone knows that rapids make the water better. Accelerating water aerates a river nicely, resulting in superior water quality. And you might say that’s exactly what Colorado Rapid’s Brian Crookham brings to the WAVE Program’s Parent Orientation: superior quality. He is Senior Director of Soccer Development for the Colorado Rapids, a professional men’s soccer team that competes in major league soccer. Not only has he enjoyed a highly successful coaching career prior to his appointment in 2007 to Senior Director, Coach Crookham is a sought after motivational speaker in the United States and all over the world. He will be speaking on the topic “Parenting the Student Athlete” at The WAVE Program’s Parent Orientation. Brian shared some of his thoughts on the WAVE Program and why he feels parents play a vital role in the success of the student athlete. “Fortunate kids have parental involvement, and that involvement needs to be educated. For me, it’s very significant that this program has an orientation just for the parents, it’s an absolute key in trying to mentor young people through any program, especially a sport program. I think that 99 percent of the parents are very well inten- tioned, but they may not know how to frame their support or their frustration. The stressors that come to the parent of a student athlete are real, and not many people pay attention to managing these stresses for the parents and guiding them through Cheryl Kampe draws from the inspiration of this area to capture the beauty of that process so they can be as supportive and as productive a resource as possible for local trees in watercolor. www.cherylkampe.com. their kids.

Brian’s Parent Orientation presentation will begin at 6:30 on Friday night, July 6 at the Pacific Grove High School Gym.

Another notable figure who is helping bring superior quality to the WAVE Program is India Hoffman. India is with the United States Tennis Association and her mission is to bring tennis into the youth programs of Santa Cruz County, Monterey County, and Santa Clara County. She works mostly with non profit organizations like the WAVE Program, Monterey YMCA, and Girl Scouts of the Central Coast, but the USTA is also reaching out to schools and working with their PE Departments. Her enthusiam is tangible as she describes her objectives. “Our main goal is to grow the game of tennis. We have found that the av- erage age of a tennis player is in their 50’s, and as this older main base of players retires out of the sport, we’re trying to bring younger players into the game to keep the sport alive. To reach our goal, the USTA donates tennis equipment, and a tennis coaching curriculum that is a very comprehensive program. It is designed for people who have never taught tennis before and trains them how to teach the basics to kids. We also help with registration, advertising or anything else they need to start their program. Last year in 2016 we gave the WAVE Program a $500 grant to buy tennis equipment and we trained their staff members on how to run the tennis program.” The tennis curriculum went so well with the WAVE Program last year that USTA is helping Pacific Grove schools set up there own tennis programs. India explains, “In addition to summer camps and after school programs, the USTA is also working with schools in their PE Departments. There is a perception that tennis is not really a team sport, so people don’t really see it’s place in PE, or as a local team like little league, but we are trying to make it a communal thing to get kids to play with their friends and family. We give out free equipment, free training to any school interested in bringing tennis into their curriculum. We are currently working with Robert Down, Forest Grove Elementary, and PG Middle School. We are reaching out and so far we really are seeing results, we are getting a lot of good feedback from program coordinators. The idea is that we don’t want starting a tennis program to be a burden. We want to make tennis accessible to everyone.” Tennis runs the first week of camp July 9-16, 2018 For more information on community tennis programs visit www.usta.com The WAVE summer camp runs July 9-20, 2018 For information on the WAVE Program visit www.thewaveprogram.org June 29, 2018 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 15 PG Family’s Fishing Boat Undergoes Restoration

But, first the large nails had to come out. One nail at a time. Holes were drilled into the Douglas fir beams around the top of the nails, so the hammer or crowbar could reach the nails. Some nails cooperated, while others didn’t. Each wooden plank was saved and used as a templet for their new successors. An old school steam box was created to bend the new boards that needed to be shaped and fitted into place. Metal parts that were rusty gave way to their new and shiny replace- ments. As the San Giovanni was restored to her former glory, once again her natural beauty emerged. Last week the San Giovanni was launched back into the water. Over the next few months, Nozicka and his crew will continue to prepare her to go fishing again and forge ahead with her momentous tale.

Page 20 • CEDAR STREET Times • June 29, 2018 Humpty Dumpty Housing—Part 19 To educate or not educate detained immigrant children Wanda Sue Parrott Homeless in Paradise

Signing his executive order to keep illegal immigrant families together last week raised a question Donald Trump faces: If displaced (homeless) detainees in US custody are under 18, will we educate them pending pa- rental deportation hearings? Since the immigration courts’ backlog is around 800,000 cases, and local educators preferred not to debate it as a political issue, I time-traveled 2,400 years back to the place democracy started. I found Socrates standing in his famous trance, gazing into the azure Athenian sky. “Master, if the children of an illegal Thracian immigrant seek admission into school, would you admit them?” “What do you think I should say?” Socrates stared past me. “Knowledge is a virtue?” “And what is education to virtue?” “A path to a virtuous life?” “I am but one man, so why not ask several teachers?” the 71-year old said, adding, “I am about to drink hemlock. Excuse me, please?” I used his popular Jeopardy-style TV-show method of answering one question with another at Plato’s Acad- emy, where I joined a circle of toga-clad students under a tree. A dialogue called “The Republic” was in session. Master,” I asked, “what is your purpose for such discourse of ideas?” Instead of replying Socratically, Plato snapped like a snoot, “Isn’t it obvious my plan is to ensure politicians are educated in areas relevant to making reasonable, important decisions for society-at-large?” “Well, excuse me!” I retorted. “There are some bad dudes out there.” “Why politicians?” I asked. “The ruling class should be morally excellent, virtuous individuals, who serve as examples to society-at-large.” “How should a virtuous ruler behave?” “You want an example?” “Yes, please.” He pointed toward himself, but said, “The leader of the senate should treat the person who scrubs his chamber pot as his equal.” A young man raised his hand. “Yes, Ari?” Plato said. “Master, my Lyceum will be founded on the notion that he who studies how things originated and came into being. . . will achieve a clearer view of them.” I thought, “That was then. This is now.” So, what’s today’s view of the virtue of education for all—including homeless immigrants both legal and illegal? The McKinney-Vento definition of Homeless Back in 1987 the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act,” which has since been amended several times, was passed into law. Subtitle VII-B (per Title IX, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act) defines homeless as follows: The term “homeless children and youths means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence (within the meaning of section 103(a)(2)); and includes children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals. Also, children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings (within the meaning of section 103(a)(2)(C)); And, children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and migratory children (as such term is defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) who qualify as homeless for the purposes of this subtitle because the children are living in circumstances described. . . above. Will the next revision include asylum-seeking detainees’ children as eligible homeless students? That may depend on whether they are defined as “awaiting foster care.” Foster care, detained children and Monterey County’s Safe Parking Program “Aristotle” by Raphael Participation in McKinney-Vento is optional. Per Title IX, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act, “covered states” had until December 10, 2017 to remove “awaiting foster care placement” from their definition of homeless. As a McKinney-Vento state, California’s policy is: Enroll the child first; follow up on other facts later. “The educated differ from the uneducated as To read the McKinney-Vento Act, visit https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/legis/mv-essa.pdf . much as the living from the dead.” Aristotle, Meanwhile, locals who live in vehicles under the County of Monterey Safe Parking program are protected 384-322 BC because $50,000 was approved for the county’s 2018-2019 budget.

Although Tim was upset and I’m sorry it took him so long to get home, we had Sally Baho a really nice chat. I think we can make people’s lives a little more positive by sharing a pleasant conversation with them and listening to them.

We live in a fast-paced world. It may not appear too fast-paced in sleepy Pacific I apologize I do believe that my meal was probably not compliant with the Mon- Grove where we roll up the sidewalks at 6pm. But if you leave the island of Pacific terey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch. Grove you’ll find that the world moves a little faster. Whether you drive up to the Bay Area or hop on a flight from Monterey to Phoenix, you’ll find that everyone is in a hurry to get on with life. This past weekend I was flying to the East Coast for work. I had a quick layover in Phoenix and a longer layover in Charlotte. When you travel to the same place again and again you end up flying on similar flight paths and learning that the transient part of travel is you, not the airport. That is to say, when I was a kid I thought that because I was in constant movement when I traveled through that the airport, the airplane, the flight attendant, etc. changed, too. What I have grown to learn is that those things are constant and the moving piece is me. One delightful way this has been apparent to me are iconic features of airports, in this particular case, the white rocking chairs lining the glass-walled atrium connecting the gates of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. There are also green leafy Bradford pear trees lining the moving walkway, alongside the rocking chairs. And right across from that is a grand piano that typically has a piano player soulfully pounding out tunes. Before I even left home I was anticipating this layover. I had decided that I would find my lunch at a restaurant in the atrium, sit on a rocking chair, and listen to the music. As luck would have it, my long layover was made longer by thunderstorms in Oklahoma. So I sat at the sushi bar at Hissho’s Sushi next to the piano and watched as notifications popped up on my smart phone alerting me at every 20 minutes of delay after delay. I told the very kind waiter to bring me my meal slowly, I would be there for a while. I had a salad with ginger dressing and it was lovely—lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a tangy ginger dressing. A gentleman sat next to me and let out an exacerbated sigh. He was delayed, too. We struck up a conversation and he ordered a “Tito’s and Tonic.” I had never heard of that and we talked about it. He was a vodka drinker and if you don’t know, Tito’s is a Texan vodka made from yellow corn. He told me he preferred it to Grey Goose, which he feels is too refined. Of course, I tried one with my next course – nigiri – and it was delightful. Nigiri is a slice of raw fish placed atop a perfectly pressed nugget of sushi rice—that is short- grain rice with sake-mash vinegar, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. The Tito’s & Tonic was refreshing, you couldn’t taste too much alcohol, the tonic and lime dominate the flavor of the cocktail but that’s all right, at least I won’t be getting malaria thanks to the quinine in the tonic water! Tim left to catch his flight and I went on to my third course, the CLT roll. The roll gets its name from the airport code, CLT. It is a cucumber and salmon roll topped with tuna and yellowtail and two hot sauces, a white spicy sauce and a sriracha sauce, a popular hot sauce made of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, and garlic. I ate slowly and made some phone calls. I watched a tired mother chase her wobbly baby around the atrium. Other people ran left and right to catch their connecting flights.
