Page 2 • CEDAR STREET Times • July 7, 2017 Joan Skillman Beloved Robert Down Skillshots teacher passes away Dear Pacific Grove Unified School District Staff and Families, It is with great sadness that I inform you that our beloved friend and Robert Down PE teacher, Jen Hinton, passed away yesterday, Sunday July 2. She was courageously battling a bacterial infection while away from her home. Jen was an incredible educator who was passionately dedicated to serving all students, a noble person who knew each and every student, regularly attended events that concerned the well-being of each one, understood the value of teaching health and well-being as part of a complete educational program, and had the greatest capacity for compassion and love. She has left an indelible mark on our district, and leaves a tremendous legacy for its future students and families. Jen will be deeply missed. Further information about services will be released when that information is available.

Sincerely, Dr. Ralph Gómez Porras Superintendent

“She was one of the ights in our city,” - Dianne Lye

Editor, It with great sadness that I must let you know that our beloved Physical Educa- tion teacher and dear friend, Jennifer Hinton, passed away on July 2 from a bacterial infection. Jen taught for 25 years at Robert Down Elementary School. Jen was an outstanding educator whose program won the 2016 Gold Ribbon Award for Excel- lence in Physical Education from the State of California. Ms. Hinton was loved by students, staff, and families and will be deeply missed by our close-knit community. Jen is survived by her mother, Bette Hinton, her brother Greg, and two nieces Gabriella and Gwyneth. Jen’s father, Jim Hinton, died in 2008. Both of Jen’s parents were also teachers. Jim taught English at MPC and Bette was PGUSD’s first English Language Development teacher. - Linda Williams, Principal Robert Down ekenebtary School

July 7, 2017 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 7 Nashwan Hamza To Speak At Unity Monterey Bay By Jan Austin

Nashwan Hamza believes that the most important method of dispelling myths is getting to know someone. “By people sitting down and talking to each other, we can come up with answers,” he said. A long-time peninsula resident, Hamza, has spent the last 25 years speaking at schools, institutions and churches in an effort to create understanding of the often-misunderstood Islamic faith. He has been a long-term member of the Islamic Networks Group centered in the Bay Area. “The purpose of my doing this is to address those issues that people are uncomfortable with,” he said. Unity of Monterey Bay will bring Hamza to speak and answer questions about Islam and relationships between Christians and Islamics on two Sundays in July. The public is invited to attend and participate. On July 16th, Hamza will present the weekly service, which begins at 10:00 a.m. He will also be holding an informal, interactive “Second Hour” discussion from 11:30 to 12:30 to delve deeper and answer questions. He will be returning to Unity on July 30 from 11:30 to 12:30 for another “Second Hour” discussion. “Unity has always had an inclusive heritage,” said Unity’s Reverend Vicky Elder. “The whole idea of the name Unity is that it honors all paths to God. We believe there is one God with many paths and we honor all of those paths and try to get people to understand and respect each others’ journeys. We recognize that there is truth in every spiritual path and the more we learn about other paths, the more it helps us to go deeper on our own path.” Following the onset of the Iraq war and 9/11, Unity began inter-faith bridge-building by having Hamza speak at Unity services. “We realized there had to be a way to share and build understanding, rather than being afraid of things we don’t know,” said Elder. “We all feel a sense of frustration,” said Hamza. “This frustration is not something we should ignore. iI’s like a physical pain or ailment that you go to a doctor for, only there’s no doctor for this. This is something that we have the solutions for ourselves by just educating ourselves. If it means just sitting across the table from someone else to discuss it, we need to do it for ourselves, for our local community and for the country. Once we do that, then we can be able to determine for ourselves what is true and what is false. I’d like to encourage people to attend something like we’re holding or to reach out and call me or visit our local mosque. People can go and sit in to learn more about Islam. I’m not asking anyone to following Islamic faith or any particular faith, but to just follow their own and understand them better. I’m trying to use those mechanisms to try to solve social issues. There is so much misunderstanding and so much hatred and violence now occurring. God willing, there will come a time when this too shall pass.” A local architect, Hamza was born in the Middle East and spent his childhood in Pacific Grove. During his college years, Hamza became deeply interested in religion and the intersections between all faiths. He believes that by understanding other people’s paths, you gain a deeper understanding of your own chosen spiritual path. “As you get to know each other as people, it starts building bridges,” he said.

Most of the shops are full again; most office Royal Guard, who are eight community spirited, active high school students. space is taken. The tourist trade is booming and so is business in general. There’s ample reason to enjoy this summer! I’ve been ranting lately about the need to set aside reserves that total much more than our currently required 10 percent of the annual budget, and in fact, more than the 10-20 percent that budgeteer Dave Culver recently described as adequate. I’ve made that case, not because I think things are dire, but because things could get dire in a hurry. CalPERS could increase their annual bill by another $1.2 million, as they did a couple of years ago. We could be hit by the kind of 6.0 earthquake that struck Napa three years ago. The initial damage estimate was $362 million. Of course, Sacramen- to and Washington would help, but having $6-7 million in reserves would make a big difference when we’d need it most. The thing is, we have the money available now, thanks to our upbeat economy and the City Council’s past frugality, so now is the time to put it in a piggy bank. By the way, that would leave $3-4 million of surplus funds for councilmembers to spend on roads and sewers anytime. So why don’t they create a reserve fund? I’ve come to the unpleasant conclusion that most, if not all, councilmembers operate on this principle: first you increase expenses, then you arrange to pay for them, and when you find yourself short of funds, you reach out for more tax money by rais- ing the specter of terminating our most cherished budget items — always couched in terms of “saving” those items with a much-needed tax. And that’s how you guarantee payment of unrelated newer bills. Occasionally, however, the Council encounters a fly in the ointment, as it did when the people voted down Measure P. But then councilmembers simply feel they must use more alarmist language next time. We usually buy into it, and that’s why our taxes go up. I predict you’ll see the next in- crease expressed in a new way — a $400 parcel tax added to your property tax bill or your landlord’s bill. Sound good? If the city is so determined to keep expanding their expenses and our taxes, they should at least turn to the only truly beneficial form of revenue enhancement: supporting business growth. And step one should be to remove the $3,000 cap on business license taxes. Wait, what? Yes, it seems counterintuitive, but it would accomplish two things: (1) tax equality for smaller businesses who now pay a bigger percentage simply because they’re 2014 Mandarin Dukyun Cho and his daughter Queen Topaz Minhee Cho below the cap; (2) businesses will find the city suddenly playing on the same team when potential tax revenue is uncapped, thereby motivating PG to do all it can to help business thrive. Maybe the city will start by giving a free license to start-ups for their first year or two. As Economic Develop- ment Commission Chairman Alan Cohen pointed out to me, that one easy step would send a new and very business-friendly message to potential PG entrepreneurs. Prosperity is a healthy aim that benefits the whole community, and it’s a source of joy for anyone. We’re on the upside of the economic curve right now, so it’s the perfect time for PG to do more to ensure that its people will always thrive. On that note, have a happy and fun 4th of July!

A recent substitute clerking shift in PG’s venerable Bookworks store offered en- counters with some of America’s happiest people. These customers stood out from the general run of somber book browsers on two counts: they smiled constantly, and they darted from shelf to shelf like birds pecking up seed. One woman seemed nearly transported. Stacking a small hoard of hardcover and paperback titles onto the counter, she beamed: “I’m so glad to find these! I’ve been looking forward to reading them all year.” “Teacher?” I inquired. “Third grade,” she nodded. “Sacramento. I’m always too busy to read during the school year. Summer is book heaven for me.” The default myth about school teachers is that they summer in the Swiss Alps, take African safaris, or windsurf in Aruba. And some teachers actually do those things. But what many teachers long to do in summer is simply read a few books cover-to-cover; books not classroom-related. This can be harder than it sounds. “Summer vacation” once stretched three full months from Memorial Day to Labor Day, seemingly time aplenty for student mischief and teacher pleasure reading. But that was back in Tom Sawyer’s day. In modern times, education is a chameleon, taking its colors from whatever learn- ing theory has just arisen. When it was determined, for instance, that long summers contributed to student learning loss, “year-round school” sent teachers back into their classrooms in July. Forget finishing “The Girls of Atomic City.” Moreover, highly dedicated teachers – which is to say, teachers generally – want to avail themselves of whatever tricks, tactics and techniques might enhance student learning. Thus, summers are peppered with curriculum conferences, teacher training institutes, and various grade-level subject area workshops. Focus on “Jane Austen, The Secret Radical?” Not for long. With all this professional pressure breathing down their necks, it was little won- der the teachers I saw circled the book displays as hungrily as lumberjacks eyeing a smorgasbord. One junior high teacher joyously dropped onto the counter three meaty tomes from the “current best-seller” table. “I’ll be back Tuesday for three more,” he grinned. In part, a teacher’s summer “pleasure reading” depends on what he or she teach- Kent saw a beautiful 1958 MG Magnette ZB varitone wrap-around down by the es, and whether one’s curriculum is subject to change. If you’re moving to a different beach at Asilomar. The car was often used by the Queen’s house staff school or into a new subject or grade level, prep work could virtually close your summer reading window. One year I left my sixth grade public school post for a Catholic high school where my teaching line included advanced placement English. I spent that July and August reading, annotating and lesson planning the assigned summer reading texts: “Crime and Punishment,” “Wuthering Heights” and “A Doll’s House.” When class convened that fall, I found I was the only one who had done the reading. I could have devoured a dozen Elmore Leonard mysteries instead! Other summers found me not reading, but transcribing. When my teaching lines included drama classes, I needed to generate scripts for upcoming performances.

Most play pub- lishers also charge performance fees. As a result, many fine summer days saw me sitting on the edge of my bed, hunched over a combination TV and video tape player. Spiral notebook open on my lap, I’d furiously scribble down whatever dialogue I could catch from the movie then spooling through the VCR player. When the action outpaced my pen, I’d hit “rewind” and try to pick up where I had left off. In this laborious and illegal manner, I managed to typeset 50-minute scripts for “The Sound of Music,” “The King and I,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Shrek,” “Monty Python’s Holy Grail” and a half-dozen other produc- tions. The finished scripts had to time out at SATURDAY, JULY 8 at 2:00pm 50 minutes, because that’s how long classes lasted.

It is part of CALL WEBSTER SLATE AT the borough of Manhattan in City.With the arrival of the 16th Infantry Regiment on Governors Island and Fort Jay in 1922, a strong connection was forged be- 831-324-4742 tween the U.S. Army and the citizens of New York City. The regimental band marched in the city parades and had an Army camp at the 1939 World’s Fair, while the public was invited to watch polo matches and mock battles staged on the Island. My father was a champion horseman, a polo player and the Military Attaché to the International Horseshow at Madison Square Gardens. I have never been able to ascertain how Daddy, a captain in charge of the Discipline Barracks (Ft. Mason), was able to obtain the permission to turn the former barn into a very large home. My mother had inherited a little money which helped – the depression was in full swing – and the house was to be turned over to the Army when we left. Of course, it was undoubtedly smaller than my memories but it was quite massive with three bedrooms on the second story, a master bedroom with a bath overlooking the skyline of Manhattan, a maid’s bedroom, my bedroom and another bathroom. Down a twisty flight of stairs to a kitchen, dining room, living room and another bedroom and bath. There was a very large courtyard with a fishpond. The house was on the seawall and when there were storms the waves attacked with a vengeance and we could hear the buoy warning those out in the water. Lady Liberty held reign, her torch held high, off to the left. I remember The Dionne Quints, the royal princesses, Uncle Don who read the funnies each Sunday until he was banned when he said, thinking the mike was off. “There, that will hold the little bastards’ remember seeing the Hindenburg float over, heading for its ultimate graveyard. The Fourth of July was celebrated gloriously. There were parades, won- derful spectacles, and the fire work, oh the fire works! They exploded over New York Harbor and filled the sky with color. The only way to get to the Island was a ferry boat. I remember once when I misbehaved I was punished by not being allowed to see the circus (Barnum and Bailey) at Madison Square Gardens. My mother had a cousin, Dorethea Morse Coors, who was married to the beer baron, Adolph (from whom she was subsequently divorced). She adored me and was my Aunt Dot – her letters were signed with a circle and dot in the middle. She was distressed that Mother’s penalty, prevailed and we took the subway, under the East River to Brooklyn to see the clowns and elephants. My father came to the United States when he was six. My grandfather, a Christian from the Isle of Man, was a ship captain who invented a component that was purchased by a shipping line. He was paid substantially, but lost all of it in the “crash.” The entire family was fiercely patriotic and while Mother and Daddy had widely divergent political views (he an FDR Democrat, she anyone who ran on the Republican ticket) they adored our country. Mother’s family arrived on the ship after the Mayflower, my father not until the early 20th century but they were identical in their strong patriotism. They both played the piano, but Tom had made a living and helped with school, playing in a speakeasy in Chicago before he went into the Army during the First World War. He could not read a note. Mother, on the other hand was not proficient but easily deciphered scores. The house would ring with George M. Cohen and I grew up singing You’re A Grand Old Flag and Yankee Doodle Dandy. Until my father’s death in 1941, every Fourth of July was filled with parades and celebrations. I still get a thrill from “Before The Parade Passes By” from Hello Dolly, because that is the way I felt as those wonderful men and their instruments marched on the field. I don’t recall too much about Tucson other than the fireworks displays and sparklers. Skipping to the Monterey Peninsula. For many years the Fourth was cele- brated at Jan and Ray Smith’s on Jack’s Peak. We would stand on the porch and watch the fireworks over Monterey Bay. When they gave up the party, Don and Lydia Crile picked it up for more than 20 years, then Suzie Matmiller stepped in when the Crileys moved into town and I would guess that has been 10 years now. We went to Salinas to the Rodeo Field for exhibits when the children were still at home. John and I sat in a convertible in Monterey’s Fourth of July Parade. I find it more than distressful that our country has become so divisive. I wonder about the lack of values; is it nurturing? I really don’t care what a person’s political affiliation might be. There is a President who was elected, I wish we would all pull together. Perhaps we have gone too far into black hole to come back. Who knows. However, I love our country warts and all, and will always feel that way. Oh, another recollection about the Fourth. Many years ago, we watched Jimmy Cagney strut his stuff on the night of July 4th.then we went to bed, John and I, and our old dog Beau sacking out on floor. In the morning, he hadn’t moved. His gallant heart had shattered and he had left us to the sound of “Give My Regards to Broadway.”

Webster Slate The Gray Eminence

Last Wednesday evening Jameson’s Classic Motorcycle Museum in Pacific Grove hosted the South American contingent of MOTUL. The company produces the highest quality of synthetic oils and lubricants, used worldwide by the racing elite. And even locally by me. Motul has been on the cutting edge of science in ’53. 1853. About 30 people were here for their sponsored World Super Bike races, enjoyed the museum and its heart and soul, Neil Jameson. On a whole they could not have been nicer or more interesting. I enjoyed a fascinating conversation about what is in the company’s future. More to follow, as deadline looms.
