Moore was brought over from Gonzales to begin serving a twenty-day sentence for obtaining goods under false pretenses. The crime was committed against the Widemann Company and was quite ingenious. Moore tele- phoned the Widemann Company and ordered goods in the name of the Jacks Company. The goods were subsequently picked up. When once challenged, Moore threw a fit and threatened to cut off future purchases for the Jacks Company. He then proceeded to peddle the goods, mostly in Pacific Grove.

I might add that we won’t see a president like Obama on the inaugural stage again, either. He’s unique. I got that when I saw photos of then-Senator Obama bodysurfing shoulder- high shorebreak at Sandy Beach on Oahu. I knew immediately he wasn’t from Kenya. He was riding high in the pocket, parallel to shore, piked up on both hands, streaking along in the barrel. As a longtime Sandy Beach devotee, I could see this was no photo op. The guy knew what he was doing. He won my ballot right there. How many times will I get to vote for a PENINSULA presidential candidate who can bodysurf the gnarly, tubing shore pound at Sandy Beach? I will swear on Lincoln’s bible: any other candidates would have broken their necks. Now, I realize bodysurfing ability does not by itself confer statecraft, wisdom, vision and leadership, but it does teach useful presidential survival skills. As a Sandy Beach bodysurfer, Obama had to learn early in life to pay close attention to wave power, swell direction, backwash and currents. He learned to recognize and respond to forces beyond his control. He learned not to panic when things got crazy. He mastered planning, timing and execution.

By Mike Clancy

Pacific Grove native Scott Grover really has lively plans for the Golden State Theater in downtown Monterey. Lessee of the theater since September, Grover is determined to bring a full range of diverse events to the venue that will satisfy Monterey County’s thirst for top-notch entertainment. And he is off to a great start, producing 52 events in his first 100 days at the theater. A small fire in the electrical room on March 16, 2012, Above: A full house at the Golden put the Golden State Theater out of business for more than State Theater.

Comedy acts and theatrical produc- tions will also be an important part of the theater’s offerings. Film festivals will continue to be a mainstay, says Gro- ver. In addition to the United Nations, Blue Ocean and Banff Mountain Film Festivals that have run at the Golden State in the past, Grover would like to add an American Animation Film Festival, an Indie Film Festival and a Traditional Hol- lywood Film Festival into the mix. And with quite the sparkle of magic delight in his eyes, Grover speaks of producing “Vaudeville Evenings” that will feature local performers and celebrity guests. Peninsula audiences can expect some wonderful live entertainment in our own back yard. Their web site is www. goldenstatetheater.com where you can find information about upcoming events. Look for reviews of many of these events in future editions of the Cedar Street Times. Classic rock fans, be sure to get your tickets for Yes on the Main Stage March 10.

Home Improved Chili If you’re putting on the party, you don’t want to be slaving over a hot stove and then be too tired to enjoy the game – and the commercials and the half time entertainment. So, thought I would not enter this in a chili contest where the purists would drum you right out, what’s the harm in heating up a big (and I mean big – a #10 can) of chili con carne? At the firehouse, we would have our own little Super Bowl parties, and even though we might not get to see the whole game, we got to eventually eat all the food. To home improve your #10 can of chili, make it in crock pot (less chance of burning it on the stove). To your favorite #10 can of chili: add 1 can of Mexican style diced stewed tomatoes. In a large frying pan, saute a pound of hot pork sausage, a large yellow onion (diced), 1 or two jalapeno peppers (diced), 1 or two bell peppers diced, 1 Tbsp. Chili powder, 2 Tbsp.
