Edna “Kay” Goines April 12, 1922 ~ December 31, 2007

Kay Goines, a former teacher at Carmel River elementary School, and esteemed educator and scholar of children’s literature, has died. She passed away peacefully, at home, early in the morning on New Year’ Eve. Kay was a uniquely creative teacher-artist whose insights and sen- sitivity enriched the lives of both chil- dren and adults around the world. She lived a full and remarkable life, devoted to her belief in the importance of literature. For her, poetry and books were the key to helping children “grow in knowledge, social sensitivity, and human relation skills in order to reach their full stature as human beings.” Mrs. Goines gained renown while working as a kindergarten teacher. Colleagues called her “the Picasso of education.” Parents described her as “a life force.” In Learning Magazine she was heralded as “The People’s Choice for Kindergarten.” Children said they loved Kay Goines, “Because she reads to us a lot.” Kay received recognition, tributes and awards throughout her life. She was featured in the film, A Child’s Right to Read. She was nom- inated for the Marcus Foster Memorial Award for her innovative use of literature to nurture a lifelong love of reading. And in her honor, with her guidance, the Bring Me A Book Foundation was established. I continues her life work: “To provide easy access to the best chil- dren’s books, and to inspire reading aloud with children.” Kay was born in Fayette County, Iowa where she was surrounded by a loving family and the seasonal rhythms of nature. She often The new pretty. spoke of the “hope, joy, and quest for knowledge that is childhood;” romantic style reinvented that was her childhood.

She is survived by her loving niece, Rosalind Cusack, her sister, SM Barbara Temple, her brother, Dr. Robert Kamm, and many cherished COMPLIMENTARY DESIGN SERVICE WE CAN HELP AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE. friends.

Edith Margot Pullen, a 50 year resident of Carmel- by-the-Sea, and most recently of Puyallup, WA. passed away February 3, 2008 after a brief illness, at 97 “years young”, in Puyallup, WA. Her son Gerald, his wife Tracey, her Granddaughter Janine Miller and Janine’s husband Curt were at her bedside. Born in Bernstein, Germany to Gustav and Hulde Ephraim, Edith and her twin sisters’, Ruth and Ellen, helped operate the family mercantile. She was an avid skier and also gave skiing lessons and instructed in physical education, until the entire family had to flee Germany to Israel ahead of the Nazi’s purge through the country. While in Israel she volunteered for the Red Cross, until she met her husband James Pullen, who predeceased her in 1984. Edith and her family moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1953 where she was a homemaker and operated a child care center in her home for 27 years. Retirement was not a word in Edith’s vocabulary. After closing her child care center she worked at Sylvia’s Danish Pastry Shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea and the Barnyard in Carmel. She was greeted by many Carmelites as she took her daily 5 mile walk around Carmel Point, Scenic Road and through the town. She was one of the first participants at weekly Bingo operated by the recreation depart- ment, and loved to play Bingo and Bridge at the Carmel Foundation. She would also be seen in her bright yellow car with the license frame engraved with “Bridge Playing Granny Onboard”, giving friends rides to shopping, doctor’s appointments and to City and Carmel Foundation events. She also loved RVing, saying that it was the best sleep she ever got. Edith is survived by her son Gerald, his wife Tracey of Puyallup, WA., her son Tom Pullen of Reno, NV., granddaughter Janine Miller and her husband Curt of Puyallup, WA., granddaughter Renee Culver and her husband Rob, of Monterey, CA., step grandson Chris Johnson and his wife Lansida of Carmel, CA., step grandson Greg Johnson and his wife Jessica of Monterey, CA., and great grandchildren and step great grandchildren Ashley, Hayden, Lily, Ethan, Gabriel, JT, Zach and Amy and “grandpups” Phoebe and Hannah. At Edith’s request no services will be conducted. The family requests that donations be made to Community Hospital’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, PO Box HH, Monterey, CA. 93942, or the Carmel Foundation, PO Box 1050, Carmel, CA 93921. 10A The Carmel Pine Cone February 29, 2008 Valentine reaches soon-to-be centenarian CCHURCHHURCH SSERVICESERVICES By MARY BROWNFIELD of Fleurish provid- ed the roses at WHEN THE Church of the Wayfarer raised funds and wholesale, accord- gathered volunteers to deliver chocolates and red roses to res- ing to development idents of the Carmel Foundation’s low-income apartments on associate Jennifer Valentine’s Day, Bunny Pratt was among those on the receiv- Martinez. ing end of that generous gesture.

On attacking a candidate

IN THIS very surprising political season, the ultimate surprise may be that some of this country’s most left-wing commentators have started defending John McCain and attacking the New York Times. Only a few weeks after endorsing McCain for the Republican Party presi- dential nomination as a man who has “demonstrated he has the character to stand on principle,” last week the Times ran a front-page exposé accusing him of protecting the interests of media and telecommunications companies because he was an having an affair with a lobbyist who worked for them. As objective commentators across the country quickly pointed out, the story was based on practically nothing — unnamed sources who didn’t say the affair happened or that the improper influence ever took place, but that eight years ago they were concerned there was the possibility the appearance of the affair and the improper influence might arise. As the New York Times’ own public editor observed, “If you cannot provide readers with some independent evidence, I think it is wrong to report the sup- positions or concerns of anonymous aides about whether the boss is getting into the wrong bed.” Top editors at the Times defended the story, asserting it wasn’t about an illic- it affair and conflicts of interest, but about the questions about McCain’s char- acter the indirect accusations raised.
