Shared services as a method of reining in costs, according to the mayor and the city manager, have lost priority in other Peninsula cities because the economy is improving. Mayor Kampe also hinted that a pay-per-service agreement rather than a blanket plan might be considered for fire services currently provided by the city of Monterey. Other revenue sources the council may consider include an admissions tax on entertainment venues, a real estate transfer tax, and – albeit out in the future – a parcel tax. Resident services and good governance were two more items which will surely be considered. The council wants to examine increasing library hours, assistance of some sort to low-income residents, and a joint meeting with the Pacific Grove Unified School District to potentially examine common issues such as pedestrian safety. They will as a council monitor the website, which is currently being revised, and the television/video feed. Steve Silveiria, IT manager, pointed out that the problems with the television feed likely have to do more with the city's infrastructure than with AMP TV. They are looking at customer service training and standards, and monitoring the effectiveness of board and commissions and the council liaisons to each commission.

Warrant issued for suspected robber: Bail set at $3 million for man in custody On Jan. 13, 2015, the Monterey County District Attorney’s office issued an arrest warrant for James Kevin Johnson of Los Angeles in connection with the February 2013 armed robbery of Hesselbein’s Jewelry Store in the Crossroads in Carmel. Bail was set at $3 million. On February 8, 2013 two black men posing as utility workers brandished a semi- automatic handgun, tied up employees and robbed Hesselbein’s of about $200,000 in jewelry. The men told employees they were utility workers there to repair a gas leak. Both were wearing white hard hats and orange reflective safety vests. Johnson is currently in custody in San Luis Obispo County on unrelated drug traf- ficking charges. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Det. Martin Opseth with the Monterey County Sheriff’s office.

Carranza and Villa split It has been learned that the split between Mexican Generals Pancho Villa and Venustiano Carranza is now complete. Villa considers himself a Rebel while Carranza has gone over more strongly to the Constitutionalists. Villa became incensed after Carranza appointed General Natera, rather than himself, to head the northern force of the constitutionalists. This act, for the first time, made clear the relationship between Villa and Carranza. In retaliation, Villa declared that he no longer answered to Car- ranza’s orders and he assumed control of Juarez and vicinity. General Chan, formerly in charge of the Juarez area, has gone over to Villa. General Villa wired Carranza to say that he intended to move southward toward Mexico City as soon as his troops had rested. That was considered bad news by the Carranza forces and good news by the St. Anselm’s Anglican Church American population of El Paso. 2 Meets at 375 Lighthouse Ave. Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Fr.

Page 12 • CEDAR STREET Times • January 16, 2015 Steinbeck: The Art of Fiction Rediscover Steinbeck on Cannery Row

In celebration of literary genius John Steinbeck and in recognition of Steinbeck Country, an exhibit featuring artistic interpretations of the author’s fiction will be featured at the American Tin Cannery at the west end of Can- nery Row beginning January 15. Sculptor Lew Aytes, photographer Robert Nease and painter Warren Chang have created this exhibit that also includes the Robert Lewis Exhibit of Cannery Row Photographs (1957-1958). The exhibit was first created for the National Steinbeck Center by Aytes and Nease, and has been expanded to include Chang’s paintings of fieldwork- ers, and historic Lewis images of Cannery Row provided by Michael Hemp and The History Company. Steinbeck was an artist of fiction and a master painter of words. His written illustrations of people and places draw you in, become real and endure. This exhibit brings together three accomplished California artists who, through sculpture, photography and paintings, have brought artistic interpretation to some of Steinbeck’s most memorable works of fiction. Sculptor Lew Aytes’ 3-dimensional faces represent his visions of Steinbeck’s characters. Commercial and fine art photographer Robert Nease brings an artist’s eye for lighting and composition to the exhibit, creating interior images and landscapes that accompany the writer’s story lines. Warren Chang’s paintings portray fieldworkers within Steinbeck Country that were inspired by the novels, as well as the Monterey Peninsula within which Chang was born and raised. The Robert Lewis photographs have been preserved by Michael Hemp of The History Company, and bring a dimension of historical reality that “Steinbeckians” will find memorable and factual. The exhibit runs through March 31, and will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10:00-5:00 beginning January 15. The Opening Reception will be held Friday, January 23 from 6:00-8:00 pm, and is open to the public. Beverages will include Beer Milkshakes, inspired by Ed Ricketts in the book, Cannery Row. The reception is being hosted by the Cannery Row Foundation, an organization formed “to preserve the historical and literary re- sources of Cannery Row… and to research, interpret, educate, disseminate, and celebrate the unique multi-cultural essence of Cannery Row’s historic, literary, cultural and ecological legacies.” The exhibit will be located on the second floor of the American Tin Cannery, 125 Ocean View Blvd, Pacific Grove, just around the corner from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Slant Wells, the Holy Grail of Ocean Intakes Public Water Now Water Forum, Open to the public Monday, January 19, 7 - 8:30 pm. Unitarian Universalist Church, on Aguajito at Hwy 1 and 68. Cal Am has proposed to use slant wells under the bay for its intake for the new desal water supply. Slant wells are the holy grail of ocean intakes. Did you know that there are no operating slant wells for ocean intake anywhere in the world? Did you know Cal Am has told the public that one is operating in Spain, but this is not true? Did you know that state agencies have encouraged using slant wells as the environmentally superior ocean intake, if feasible? But did you know these same agencies have not specified "cost" as a necessary criteria for feasibility? PWN will report on its research of other studies and consultant reports on slant wells. Yes, test well information is needed. But will there be an authentic evaluation of slant well feasibility that includes life cycle costs and the risks for an entirely new and experimental intake? Come for new information and insights. Time is running short.

Uneven lies....uphill shots and downhill shots really confuse players. If you think about it, most golf courses are not flat; they all have uphills and downhills all over the course. Here is a good tip: When you have an uneven lie, adjust your shoulders to the slope of the hill. This will allow the golf club to travel along the slope of the hill to get the ball up in the air. Remember, wherever you play golf, the course probably is not flat. It will have uneven lies so adjust your shoulders to the hill to hit better shots.
