A period of fair weather mid-month, however, entered the mountain areas and took precipitation from the normally wet season. However, earlier snows will make for good run-offs from the melt.

How far is a journey? For members of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, it can be as far as 4,000 miles or as near as a handshake. Twenty-eight young men on their own journey rode their bicycles from San Francisco into Pacific Grove on the first leg of a cross-country trip, to shake hands with residents of Gateway Center on June 13. It’s called the Journey of Hope, run by Push Amer- ica; a non-profit organization set up by the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity in 1977 for the purpose of mobilizing Above: “Where’s lunch?

Each year, 100 members of the fraternity ride a combined total of 12,000 miles. Each rider must come up with $5,000 in pledges in order to be part of the Journey of Hope. This year, they started from two “kick-off” points: Seattle, for the Trans-America ride, and San Francisco, for the north and south routes out of California. All will pedal east and reach their mutual destination, Washing- ton, D.C., on August 13. Imagine it: Just you, your bike, the team and the road.

Jackson is assigned to ride the beginning part of the South route. “I act as a riding instructor,” he said, to make sure the travelers understand the rules and practices of safe riding. This is his third year on the Journey, which aims to raise $500,000. “So far, we’re at about $535,000,” said publicist Andres Gonzalez, a fraternity member from Florida International University. At Gateway, the cyclists lined up for lunch at the dining room and enjoyed the company of their hosts. It’s been a year since the last group of Push America riders stopped in. The Gateway residents, who had waited anxiously all morning, were clearly delighted to see them.

Learn from your scorecard Many golfers struggle to play better golf but few lack the direction to get started on the road to better scores. One of the first things I do with my students is ask them what their handicap is. If they say "28," for example, I then ask them, "Well, where do you think you are losing 28 shots per round?" Far too often their answer is, "I don't know." If more players knew how to use their scorecard to their advantage, they would know where most of their strokes are lost. A great learning tool, I tell my students, is to use your scorecard during your next four rounds as a record of every shot you hit. Along with the score for each hole, mark down on your card how many fairways you hit, how many greens in regulation you hit, how many putts per green you use, and how many times you did or didn't get up and down. Ideally, I'd like to see you do this type of record-keeping for at least four rounds Ben Alexander PGA on four different courses.

All-Star jazz students headed for tour On Fri., June 24, the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Monterey County High School All-Star Band and High School Honor Vocal Jazz Ensemble will depart for a 3-day tour to the heartland of the United States, with performances in Kansas and Missouri. During the tour, they will perform at a number of festivals and other sites. “I’m very excited about our upcoming County High School All-Star Band and High School Honor Vocal Jazz Ensemble tour to America’s jazz heartland,” said Dr. Rob Klevan, Education Director of the Monterey Jazz Festival. “The tour will give our students a chance to visit some of the most historical points of interest in America’s jazz history, as well as perform in a variety of settings.” After their return from the Midwest, the Monterey County High School All-Star Band will perform at the San Jose Jazz Festival. Both the All-Star Band and the Vocal Honor Ensemble will also perform at Jazz on the Plazz in Los Gatos on Wed., Aug. 17, from 6:30 to 8:30pm. The Jazz on the Plazz concert is free, and will take place at the Los Gatos Town Plaza, at the intersection of West Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue in downtown Los Gatos. The bands will also make their traditional appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival on Sunday, September 18 in the Night Club. The Monterey County High School All-Star Band, directed by saxophon- ist and flautist Paul Contos, includes the best and brightest student musicians from the Festival’s home county. Members are selected by the Festival’s “Traveling Clinicians” who visit Monterey schools once a month during the school year for one-on-one instruction in jazz, and the 2011 groups include jazz musicians and vocalists from Carmel, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Salinas, and Stevenson high schools. The jazz program at Pacific Grove High School was de-funded a few years ago due to a combination of declining enrollment and lack of funds. It is now an after-school activity, funded by parents, members and benefactors. Todd Clickard is the advisor. This year, with a number of Pacific Grove students being part of the All- Star Band and with 35 Pacific Grove students enrolled in the Monterey Jazz Festival Jazz Camp, the possibility of bringing it back grows ever closer.

June 17, 2011 • CEDAR STREET Times• Page 15 Downtown Business Improvement District and Hospitality Improvement District annual statements In 2000, the City of Pacific Grove established the Downtown Pacific Grove Business Improvement District, which many refer to as “the B.I.D.” or “the BID.” Annual assessments are made on businesses located within the core downtown area. Under the terms of the agreement, the assessments may be used only for the promotion, marketing and advertising of professional and retail businesses located in the district. In addition, the city contracts with the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce to administer the B.I.D. funds. All businesses located in the BID are assessed an amount equal to 35 percent of their business license tax. The assessment is collected together with the Business License Tax payment, due each year in July. Anticipated expenses for the remainder of FY 10/11 as listed by the Chamber in their annual report have been reduced in order not to exceed the budget and to include the $800 as yet unbilled for trolley costs. The projected $9,709 revenue balance will be retained by the Chamber for performance of the FY 2011/12 contract.

Similarly, in 2007, the City established the Hospitality Improvement District (HID), appointed an advisory board, and established an assessment for the District. The assessment was set at $1.50 per room night for full-service lodging establishments and $1.00 per room night for all others. Currently, all lodging establishments in the District contribute at the $1.00 per room night level. Of this amount, half is remitted as dues to the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau (MCCVB) and half remains in Pacific Grove for HID purposes.These revenues may be used only to fund promotion, marketing activities, and physical improvements to support and improve the hospitality economy of Pacific Grove. The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce administers the Hospitality Improve- ment District.

HID and TOT (Transient Occupancy Tax) are separate items and go into separate funds. TOT was established by ordinance and equates to 10 percent of gross receipts of affected businesses. It is a tax rather than an assessment. To increase it would require a vote of the people.
