IRENE ROSE THELEN 1917 - 2015

Long time Carmel resident Irene R. Thelen left this earth for her eternal adven- ture on October 20, 2015 after a long and successful life. She was a dedicated Catholic and a parishioner at the Carmel Mission since 1958 after she and her late husband, Emil P. Thelen, M.D., moved to Pebble Beach with their three children from the East Coast after Dr. Thelen left the U.S. Navy for private practice following a neurosurgical conference on the West Coast. Both Irene, an Iowa farm girl, and Emil, a Nebraska farm boy, recognized that wintertime on the Monterey peninsula was only slightly more temperate than the Midwest.

Irene met the love of her life, Emil, in Chicago when Irene was attending nursing school and he was in medical school. They married shortly thereafter and Emil died unexpectedly in 1963, leaving Irene to raise her three boys as a single parent. By all accounts, she did a fine job.

Irene had a full life. She was a flight attendant for United Airlines when flight attendants, for a brief period of time in the U.S., were required to be registered nurses as well. Following Emil’s death, Irene took a refresher course, obtained her California nursing license and returned to nursing for many years.

Irene was born in Spring Grove, Minnesota, in 1917 and was pre-deceased by going on now her parents, John and Katherine Schulte, as well as her four siblings, Sister Mary Eileen, Bonnie Fritz, Florence Crawford and Ray Schulte. Irene is survived by AREA RUG SALE & CLEARANCE her three sons and their spouses, E.

FIVE HUNDRED biologists from as far away as Europe will converge on Monterey this week week to discuss the CARMEL INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. future of one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures, the bat. The Monterey Plaza Hotel will be the site of a four-day conference on bats that runs from Oct. 28 to Halloween, the day of the year most associated with the fear-inducing flying mammals. In fact, it’s National Bat Week. 2012 2013 2014 2015 Vilified in literature and on the silver screen as emissaries of evil, bats are viewed very differently by those who know them best, said one of the conference’s attendees. “They are terribly important to our ecology and our econ- omy,” said Rob Mies, the co-founder and execut ive director of the nonprofit Organization for Bat Research. “Each bat eats more than 2,000 insects a night. It’s estimated they save the agricultural industry over a billion dollars a year in the (831) 624-1234 cost of pesticides just by eating the corn ear worm.

The original musical, which was written by Walt DeFaria, “Rami is incredible,” Kelleher said. “I’ve worked with her is based on a children’s fantasy novel of the same name by By ELAINE HESSER many times, and she was the only person we could think of Mary Norton. The book explores the secret world of a family SURE, THERE are adorable animals — mostly dogs — strutting their stuff in costumes every Halloween. But for many pets, the last quarter of the year holds some additional risks that their humans need to know about. Karl Anderson, veterinarian at the Animal Hospital at Mid Valley, and his wife Lori, who manages the hospital, offered If you need an a cringe-worthy list of holiday hazards that can easily be avoided fairly easily once you’re aware of them.

Your pet’s reactions could range from obsessive barking or bolting out an open door to hiding in she’s the one. fear or possibly even attacking that scary creature that’s too close to its family.

He said that spray-on spider webs aren’t readily digestible, either. Costumes and lighted candles are a particularly bad com- bination, so make sure any open flames are up and out of reach. Even an un-costumed dog could knock over a jack-o’- lantern and cause a fire.

Blacks cats in trouble? Despite some claims that it’s an urban legend, the Andersons strongly assert that black cats are in danger of kidnapping and worse around Halloween. They recommend Worship keeping them indoors for a couple days before and after the holiday. It’s noteworthy that many shelters will not adopt out black cats near Halloween — although that is sometimes CARMEL  CARMEL VALLEY  MONTEREY  PACIFIC GROVE  PEBBLE BEACH because people just want them for party decorations and return them a few days later.

Your brother’s keeper

IN PEBBLE Beach, a home on 17 Mile Drive sold recently for the colossal sum of $18,000,000 — which means the new owner of that property will be paying property taxes of more than $180,000 a year. But if he needs a sheriff’s deputy in the middle of the night, he will have to wait a long time before one shows up. And the same thing goes for all his neighbors — whose property taxes, while perhaps not as large as the $18 million man we just mentioned, are still high. Until at least the middle of next year, if there’s a break-in, assault, rape or attempted suicide in Pebble Beach or Carmel Valley, chances are it will be a long time before anybody from the sheriff’s department will be on hand to help. That’s because, as we reported last week, the overnight resources of the sheriff’s department have been redirected to the county jail. At this moment, not a single deputy is posted overnight in Pebble Beach or Carmel Valley, which means that when one is needed for an emergency in either of those areas, he’ll have to come from Salinas. This latest move is just part of a nationwide reality, in which most law enforcement dollars are spent in a few communities, while most of the money that underwrites law enforcement budgets comes from other areas. To be specific, more than one-quarter of the Monterey County’s “Lady, we believe you’re Clint Eastwood’s cousin. But you still have to pay.” property tax revenue comes just from the immediate Carmel area, Please join Former Monterey mayors while only a small fraction of the sheriff’s force of deputies is Dan Albert, Chuck Della Sala and Peter Letters Coniglio, current Monterey council mem- deployed here.

Personally, the latter seems like a waste of time to me. Polly Osborne, Carmel Valley Right to die law misguided Dear Editor, As a medical oncologist for 38 years I witnessed the pass- ing of many persons from cancer. Never did I receive a request to actively facilitate anyone’s demise. I had only one suicide during that period. He had widespread cancer, was comfortable and responding well to chemotherapy, but, for some reason unknown to his family and to me he ended his life. Gov. Brown in his decision to sign Right to Die into law, mentioned he couldn’t imagine “dying in prolonged and excruciating pain.” This is one of the reasons often quoted by those pushing for legalized euthanasia. BUT, there is no rea- son for anyone to undergo unrelenting pain. Medical profes- sionals have at their disposal a variety of excellent medica- tions, injections, etc., along with hospice programs with skilled, caring nurses, to keep such individuals completely comfortable! Physicians fail when they do not keep their patients pain- free. In my experience, if comfortable, people want to live and be with their families as long as possible. For those who required regular pain medication I always provided them a generous supply for their use. Had they chosen to do so, it would have been sufficient to take and end their life. They knew that. Not one ever did! Legislators have no business interfering with decisions that should be left to patients, families, their clergy and physicians. To use the excuse that patients are suffering from pain that can’t be relieved is demonstrating a serious lack of knowledge and insight. All involved in bringing Right to Die to legal status are sorely misguided. Legal safeguards set up in other countries to prevent abuse have failed and have led to deaths of persons with non-fatal illnesses and to involun- tary deaths.
