Page 12 • CEDAR STREET Times • June 28, 2013 Tom Stevens Otter Views The Beach House In an earlier, younger, married life, the vagaries of Vietnam-era military service sent my bride and me to Stockton. It was a more user-friendly town back then; smaller, prettier and quainter than the current troubled incarnation. That said, once summer wilted the elms and crisped the lawns to shredded wheat, Stockton was a good place to travel away from. So during “liberty” from the Navy, we’d gas up the station wagon, lay futons in the back, and drive off to explore the West Coast. As carefree travelers will, we found ways to pass any motoring time not spent sightseeing or getting lost. We sang folk songs, played 20 questions, watched for out- of-state plates. Once these diversions flagged, we’d move on to “imaginary restaurant.” This pastime worked best while we transited stretches of spectacular scenery, like the Canadian Rockies or the Oregon coast. We’d survey the passing countryside for ideal restaurant sites. Many miles could then pass amiably as details of design, construction, menu and décor were debated and refined. I don’t know where this cockamamie game came from, but Big Sur’s Nepenthe might have been one inspiration. An “au jus” sandwich place overlooking La Jolla Cove might have contributed as well. Whatever the game’s origins, by any road trip’s end, we had seeded the west’s scenic corridors with an impressive string of ersatz eateries. I still remember my favorite. It sat on a steep bluff in old growth redwoods. Far below, catching the afternoon light, the wild Smith River twisted through the forest like a silver eel. As this was 1970, my restaurant had a panoramic deck and a renaissance- style tower with bright banners, sconces and stained glass windows. From the tower, diners could watch brown bears and eagles snag salmon in the river. Because neither of us had any restaurant experience beyond busing tables, we never let the brutal realities of the food service business crush our gossamer fantasies. Where in this remote setting would the staff live? Who would deal with liquor and health inspectors? Could delivery trucks park without sliding off the cliff? No, we wisely left these vexing details to the West’s real restaurateurs and drove happily onward. We passed many fine eateries in our travels and even stopped at a few that rivaled our imaginary ones. I remember a cliff top cafe in Jenner that over- looked the mouth of the Russian River. It seemed as if every sea lion, osprey, pelican and petrel within 100 miles had swarmed to the estuary below the café. All the place lacked was a tower with stained glass windows. A Washington state seafood place called The Three Crabs had fresh berry pies, a stone beach and jaw-dropping views of supertankers plowing past on Puget Sound. In Oregon’s Cascade Mountains, one inn offered diners dizzying aerial views from a lofty cantilevered deck. Alfred Hitchcock would have liked that place. Older and more vertigo-prone now, I site my imaginary restaurants in more for- giving view planes. One recent inspiration is the newly reopened restaurant on Lovers Point in PG. Formerly the Bath House, it has been rebranded as The Beach House, complete with whimsical beach ball logo.

Yafa is a port city in Jordan: it also literally means “beautiful.” The owner and part- ner, Ben Khader was born and raised in Amman, Jordan, to a Palestinian father and an American mother. As a teenager in Jordan, he worked as a baker on a wood-fired oven. In 2004 he came to the United States to attend school at California Polytechnic Uni- versity in San Luis Obispo. He also worked as a police dispatcher for five years with the police department while attending school. Ben wanted to further his education and decided to move to Monterey. He earned a degree in International Business from California State University at Monterey Bay. Soon after he worked a short stint at the American Embassy in Paris, France. After returning to the Monterey Bay area, he began to work with fellow Jordanian Faisal Nimri, the renowned chef at Carmel’s Dametra Café. Dametra is one of the busiest restaurants on the Peninsula.

Khader and Nimri have raised their passion for food, music and hospitality to an art. The menu offers something for everyone: from seafood to chicken to lamb and vegetarian dishes. It will please everyone in your group. Here are some of their more popular dishes: One of the most popular is the grilled octopus with capers, oregano, olive oil, shal- lots, garlic, and lemon. The octopus is mild and tender with zest. This is one of my favorites. We paired it with the Otter Cove Chardonnay. The Chardonnay offers butter up front, tropical fruits with a hint of vanilla on the finish. The food and wine flowed very nicely together. The flavors of butter and bright acid from the wine complimented the olive oil, seasoning and octopus.

The other popular dish is the cubed watermelon salad with feta cheese, basil, and pine nuts, with drizzled olive oil. It’s light and energizing. We paired it with the Listel Rose. The wine offers delicate fruits, it’s clean, refreshing with a hint of sweetness. It’s made from three different grapes, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault. The fruit flavors from the wine balanced the salad and didn’t overpower it.

Barrymore in ‘Hamlet’ Aria Brings Color to Life Mike Clancy and Katie Shain Performance Review Aria, Monterey Peninsula Choral Society’s premier women’s choir, directed by Dr. Sean Boulware delighted its audience at their final concert of the summer season with “Paint Me a Song!” at the colorfully decorated MPC Music Hall June 22 and 23. The ladies took stage in vibrantly colored outfits representing every shade in the rainbow. Aria’s color-themed show was fun, and the crowd seemed to know what it was in for. Each song featured a reference to color in some way or another, except for one number, “Bumble Bee” which of course, is well known for its color scheme. Appropriately the show opened with a beautiful rendition of “Like A Rainbow” and moved up to more upbeat songs from there. As to be typically anticipated of a Sean

On Saturday, April 27 at around six o’clock in Pacific Grove it was dark and cold and the downtown buzz had settled into a quiet hum as America’s Last Home Town shut down for the day. Sherry Litchfield was closing Blessings Boutique with col- league Barbara Moore when a white dove wandered by. Realizing that the bird would likely die that evening from cold and exposure, Sherry took initiative. She and Moore cornered the dove and took it inside, placing it in a small bird cage the shop had on hand. Litchfield and Moore named the bird Angel and placed him in a bigger bird cage Litchfield purchased shortly thereafter, and kept him in the store. Several days later, another Blessings employee, Litta Sughair of Monterey, noticed a quarrel between two similar white doves and a crow in her backyard. The crow had killed one of the doves and wounded the other before Sughair was able to reach it. Crows are common predatory birds that live almost everywhere on the North American continent. Though not known for their overall aggressiveness as a species, like most animals crows will become aggressive when they feel as though their young are being threatened by the presence of another creature in their territory, according the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Spring is also mating and nesting season which puts the dove found by Sughair right in the middle of reproductive season when these birds are most territorial. According to Litchfield, the dove Sughair recovered had been wounded on its head, but the pair felt as though the laceration would heal on its own, and simply placed the second bird (which they named Grace, after the street Sughair lives on) into the same cage as Angel. There was no tension between the two birds at all, according to Litchfield, Angel took care of Grace and made sure she was well cared for. Well that old phrase about birds and bees when Spring comes around certainly Dove Love: Angel and Grace are applies to these two lovebirds, who took the Blessings Boutique staff by surprise when two white doves which were rescued Grace laid two eggs, and it became apparent that Grace and Angel were female and outside Blessings Boutique in Pacific male, respectively. White doves, which are essentially better looking pigeons, usually Grove. It is possible they had each lay two eggs, so the number bequeathed to the Blessings staff is ordinary. The interest- lost a mate, but they took to each ing part is this: according to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental other and baby doves were hatched Protection these birds are monogamous and thereby mate for life. However, if a dove’s earlier this month. They already mate dies, it will select another. Though just speculation, Litchfield believes that Grace have their pinfeathers. and Angel’s mates both died in the wild, possibly after a flock of them were released Photos by Peter Mounteer for the 2013 Big Sur International Marathon opening ceremony, which took place the same weekend she and Moore found Angel wandering around outside their storefront. The babies hatched on June 17 and 18, and will remain nameless until July 17, when the Blessings staff will conduct a drawing of potential names for the two babies. Submissions are already being accepted, and will be up until the date of the drawing, which occurs on Sunday, July 17 at 3:00p.m. Litchfield intends to keep the four birds in a bigger cage for the rest of their lives “The story is so beautiful, I would never let anything happen to them,” she said in an interview. Litchfield, who owned a pair of dove years ago, is well equipped to provide them the care they need, with a large cage and several different types of bird feed on hand at Blessings Boutique. The shop is a cooperative, with some 17 other women, and has been in business for four years. It was so named after a meeting between Litchfield and three other women who wanted to start a cooperative in Pacific Grove selling all kinds of items. After the meeting it became clear that without their own building, the co-op would be doomed to failure. While walking back to her car, Litchfield noticed a for rent sign for a space in the building at 620 Lighthouse Avenue, and across the walkway from the much beloved International Cuisine. She contacted building owner Greg Beardsley whom she knows personally, and secured the space for the new co-op, which was named Blessings, in Litchfield’s words, “because it was a blessing that that sign was in the window!” Flower Painting Workshop Offered “Flowers with Brush and Ink,” a 4-hour workshop in flower brush painting with colored inks, will be offered Sat., July 13 at the Pacific Grove Art Center.

Reverse Mortgages and Protection for Surviving Spouses Canterbury Woods Susan L. Alexander, Esq. Heads for the Hills (J.D., M.P.A., LL.M. - Taxation) Spotlight on Seniors

Three California members of Congress are urging eight executive agencies to make changes that would protect surviving spouses from foreclosure. Earlier this month, three Representatives sent a letter to agencies including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development that detailed the unique circumstances many surviving spouses may face under mortgage loans on which they are not named. Surviving spouses throughout the country have found themselves in this troubling situation. These individuals, who also may be struggling with responsibility for medical bills, funeral costs, and other expenses while adjusting to a loss of income, are trapped without a means of preventing the loss of their homes. A unique circumstance named in the letter is when surviving spouses’ names do not appear on the mortgage loan for their home, and are forced to assume the loan in order to remain in the home. Banks usually require payments to be up-to-date in order for a survivor to assume the loan—and if the survivor can’t afford those payments, banks will often refuse to The Bluegrass quartet, Hilltown, specializing in toe-tapping, traditional negotiate loan modifications, effectively treating them like strangers instead of partners and contemporary bluegrass music with three-part harmony vocals, re- “Dad Couldn’t Remember How Toto theGet deceased.
