Pacific Grove High School students gain experience in how to handle employment interviews thanks to the efforts of high school staff and community volunteers. During the two hour mock interview exercise students not only get to be interviewed by real life employers, they are given feedback as to their performance with suggestions on how to improve their presentations and chances for employment. The ses- sions are held twice a year for seniors and are a built in part of their English curriculum. The students learn how to prepare a resume, how to dress, and how to present themselves to future employers. Two students attend each interview. One will observe his classmate while the other student interviews. They will rotate around the room, from interviewer to interviewer, and will reverse roles at the next interview table. The students are able to participate in at least four interviews during the exercise. This training is considered important enough for District Superintendent Dr Ralph Porras to participate in the interview exercise. Photo by Al Saxe

Box 470, Monterey, CA 93942 learn all about it: www.waterplusmonterey.com September 28, 2012 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 7 SPCA Wildlife Center releases first ringtail Julie reported the animal to Caltrans Engineer Charlie Hench, who recognized it as a ringtail. He and foreman Todd Ferryman donned gloves, placed the animal into a Beth Brookhauser box and contacted The SPCA. When the call came in, Wildlife Care Technician Audrey Gossett immediately set out on the 120-mile round trip. Her destination turned out to be the dramatic site of a Animal Chatter bridge construction project high above the ocean on Highway One, south of Lucia. By the time Audrey arrived, the workers were calling the ringtail “Juju,” and had given him a blanket, water and a granola bar. It seemed like the end for this injured ringtail, until some compassionate road workers called The SPCA. Ringtail rebound When road worker Julie Matteucci lifted the lid of the empty dumpster at her Back at the Wildlife Center, Dr. Amy Wells of the Avian and Exotic Clinic exam- construction site on Highway One, she saw something move inside. ined the animal and cleaned his wounds. The ringtail’s right eyelid was lacerated and “I couldn’t help it. I screamed and did a little dance,” said Julie, the only female on drooping, and a large, infected wound on his forehead had swollen the left eye shut. the crew. Soon six of her male coworkers were staring open-mouthed into the dumpster “Most likely the injuries were from a territorial dispute or large prey animal,” said at a skinny, wet animal that none of them could identify. “We didn’t know what it was, SPCA Wildlife Center Supervisor Jessica Shipman. “It’s pretty impossible to hunt and but it looked half-dead,” said Julie. “One of the guys looked over at me and said, ‘You forage with two injured eyes, so by the time the ringtail resorted to garbage picking he did far less screaming than I would have done!’” was very weak. When he dropped into the dumpster he was trapped.” While SPCA staff have rescued and released two ringtails out in the field, this was the first one ever treated at the Wildlife Center. The extremely dehydrated animal required fluid therapy for three days to balance his electrolytes, as well as a special diet to reactivate his digestive system. Two staff members administered antibiotic eye drops twice a day for ten days—not an easy task with this weasel-like animal’s long and flexible body. It’s not surprising that the road crew had never seen a ringtail—they are known for their solitary and secretive habits. Commonly known as “ringtail cats,” they are actually members of the raccoon family. Ringtails can rotate their hind feet 180 degrees, mak- ing them extremely agile climbers capable of ascending vertical walls, trees, rocks and even cactus. Their extremely long, striped tail gives them amazing balance. They can quickly reverse direction at a run by performing a cartwheel using their tail and legs. Once the ringtail’s eyes were healed he graduated to an outdoor enclosure where he had more room to exercise. After three weeks of care, Wildlife Center Technician Jaime Deuel transported him back to his home territory and released him on a wooded hillside near Limekiln State Park. She reports that when she opened the carrier there was a long pause before the ringtail suddenly shot out of the box and disappeared into the brush. Jessica emailed the news to Caltans Engineer Charlie Hench, along with photos of the bright-eyed ringtail before release. “He looked like a different animal in the pictures,” said Charlie. “Without you guys it never would have happened. . . . We’re so happy The SPCA was there so he could return to the wild!” To report wildlife in distress call 264-5427; after hours phone 646-5534.

Party in the Village! set for Oct. 13 in Carmel Valley On October 13 the Carmel Valley Village Improvement Committee (CVVIC― Celebrating the life pronounced civic) and the Carmel Valley Historical Society (CVHS) will throw the first Party in the Village!, a concert and barn dance celebrating the Village’s past and raising funds for its future. The party will be held from 6:30 p.m. till 10:30 p.m. at of Nadine Annand the beautiful Hidden Valley Music Seminars at 88 W. Carmel Valley Road, thanks to the generous sponsorship of its Board of Directors. The event will feature local favorites Heartstrings and The HayBoys as opening acts, with The California Cow- boys (and special guest Bobby Black on pedal steel) as the headliner. A fundraiser for CVVIC and CVHS, the event will also feature a silent auction of items from the outstanding wine tasting rooms, lodges, spas, and restaurants that fill the Valley. In addition, there will be wine and beer barrel raffles of local libations. Carmel Valley Kiwanis will run their famous no-host bar, proceeds of which also benefit the Village through the three organizations. Tickets are $35 and include hors d’oeuvres. Marj Ingram Viales, a CVVIC Board member, hatched the idea for a country music fundraiser while working with CVHS on plans and permitting for their brand- new History Center at 77 W. Carmel Valley Road, adjacent to the Community Park. “I admired their mission of preserving Carmel Valley’s past and understood their struggle to complete the building. It made me want to help.” A Carmel Valley native, Marj recalled the Valley’s history of family-friendly “music parties,” as they were called back in the 1960s and 70s: “Carmel Valley was really rural―a place where ranching and 4-H were prevalent. Back then, musicians from Cachagua to the Village would grab their guitars and fiddles and play together whenever they could. Then the Jamesburg Players began putting on musical theatre productions, and the local actors and musicians just came out of the woodwork. And who could forget the Valley Volunteer’s annual Fireman’s Ball at Hidden Valley?” Marj, a guitarist in the acoustic ensemble Heartstrings, wanted to honor the Val- ley’s long musical tradition. “When I was thinking about a fundraiser, I was thinking about all the country music I was raised on in Carmel Valley, so I asked Heartstrings and The HayBoys to be opening acts for the Party in the Village! Then we were lucky enough to have The California Cowboys be our headliner. Their crowd- pleasing music will have everyone dancing, just like back in the old days.” Music Enthusiast, Kiki Wow, will be the emcee! The CVVIC board plans for the Party in the Village! to become a recurring event, with different themes and musical genres, and to benefit a variety of lo- cal nonprofits. This year, CVVIC and CVHS will share the proceeds from the first inaugural party. CVVIC plans to use its proceeds to extend the pathways and gardens that contribute so much to the Village’s beauty and safety. CVHS seeks to pay off the final $80,000 construction costs for its brand-new History Center, so that the public can finally enjoy all of the Native American artifacts, heirloom family photographs, vintage farm tools and equipment, scrapbooks, newspaper files, books, maps and art- work that have been collected to tell Carmel Valley’s story. (Over the years, through grants, gifts from estates, Cowboy Shows, rummage and bake sales, and dedicated efforts by the Society, CVHS has raised $500,000 so far to help build the Center.) Tickets may be purchased online at www.partyinthevillage.org, as well as in Carmel Valley at Hacienda Hay & Feed, Carmel Valley Business Service, The Running Iron, The UPS Store in Mid-Valley, in Carmel at Do Re Mi Music & Video, and in Salinas at The Feed Trough.
