Joan Skillman PART CENTER From Page 1 Classic bicycle race and “asked the universe” to put her to work in something with both Skillshots a creative environment and a place where she could use her business sense. She had lived in Pacific Grove as a child, and always remembered it as a special place. She and her husband honeymooned at Asilomar in 1984, and after a brief stint in Idaho, they moved back here in 1986. “The Art Center was on my radar,” she said. “There are great processes already set up here,” she said. “But there's an evolu- tion that needs to happen. It needs a little more current thinking.” She wants to have a financial audit done so that the Art Center will become eligible for large funding grant and opportunities. “We're supported generously by many local people and organizations,” she said, but added that with more funding the Art Center could do more, for example in terms of classrooms and galleries and promotion of the shows and classes. She wants to promote the sales of art, for example, and become a bigger part of the Pacific Grove community. “Dream big,” says Teresa Brown.

The Pacific Grove Art Center is located at 568 Lighthouse Avenue Pacific Grove. Phone/Fax: 831-375-2208. Hours are Wednesday - Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m. The Art Center is closed Monday and Tuesday. A new show opens approximately every six weeks, and an opening is set for July 18 for a show of paintings by Barbara Codd, photographs by Meredith Mullins, and a show of Art Center Studio Artists.

Lecture and Booksigning for Stevenson's Treasure Fiddler Joe Weed on tap Of all the notable and notorious char- acters who have, at one time or another, called Monterey home, perhaps none is more illustrious than Robert Louis Ste- venson, acclaimed author of such classic novels as Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Spend an afternoon with author Mark Wiederanders, who recently completed an historical novel based on the legendary writer. In 1879 Robert Louis Stevenson embarked on one of the most romantic, ill-advised but wildly successful quests a literary figure has ever made. Young, unknown, and in failing health, he jour- neyed 6,000 arduous miles to make Fanny Osbourne his wife. Stevenson's Treasure is a carefully researched novel that pieces together the documented facts about the couple's year-long struggle in California to have a future together, and where gaps exist in the historical record the author makes informed guesses to complete a grand love story. Wiederanders will give a short lecture and book-signing, there will be wine and refreshments for attendees and, in a nod to Stevenson's Scottish roots, John Weed, fiddler with acclaimed Celtic band Molly's Revenge, will be performing. Don't miss the exciting opportunity to learn about one of the great American writers and his time in California and Monterey Sunday, August 3, 1-3 p.m. Museum of Monterey-Stanton Center, 5 Custom House Plaza Free with Museum admission ($8 adults, $5 seniors/military/teachers, children under 12 free) MHAA members free.

Chinese buyers are leading the way in foreign purchases of U.S. housing, and overall, real estate sales to foreign buyers and new immigrants surged to new highs in the last year, according to a new study released by the National Association of REALTORS®. Overall, foreign purchases of U.S. real estate jumped by 35 percent last year. Chinese buyers have become the largest source of foreign cash in the U.S. residential real estate market, accounting for nearly one in four dollars spent by foreigners on American housing last year. China accounted for $22 billion in international sales for the 12-month period ending March 2014, or 24 percent of all foreign sales, up from $12.8 billion, or 19 percent, during the year-earlier period. Total international property sales rebounded last year to $92.2 billion, up from $68.2 billion in 2013 and $82.5 billion in 2012. American real-estate markets have been viewed as a safe haven and a bargain amid concerns over geopolitical instability or unsustainable asset values abroad. The median purchase price to international clients ($268,284 last year) is signifi- cantly higher than for all sales ($199,575). Consequently, these buyers tend to hunt for trophy properties. Chinese buyers, in particular, have an eye for Southern California. Los Angeles and Irvine were two of their top three destinations, according to the survey, with San Francisco ranking second.

Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad Skewers There’s nothing like the harmonious flavors of a caprese salad - the aromatic basil leaf; the juicy crunch of a summer cherry tomato; soft, sweet mozzarella cheese; a glis- ten of peppery olive oil; and a tangy balsamic glaze. These bite-size salad skewers are perfect for a party, or kids, or to spice up your evening meal during these long, beautiful summer days. This recipe is written very loosely, as you can make as many or as little as you would like - you use equal parts tomato, cheese balls, and basil leaves. Easily doubled, tripled, etc. to meet all your summer party-attending needs. Prep time: 20 minutes

Ingredients 10 cherry tomatoes 10 ciliegine cheese (cherry size mozzarella balls, you can find them at Grove Market) 10 fresh basil leaves pDRONES From Page 1 balsamic vinegar glaze (I found Monari Federzoni at Nob Hill) extra virgin olive oil long toothpicks (3 ½ inches, also available at Grove Market)

Preparation Cut the cheese balls in half and skewer half a ball of cheese, a cherry tomato, the other half of the cheese, and a basil leaf on a long toothpick. Arrange geometrically on platter and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Enjoy!

July 18, 2014 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 7 What police chiefs do when they retire: Horse-drawn buggies By Peter Mounteer

Former Pacific Grove Chief of Police Tom Maudlin has spent the more recent part of his retirement repairing and restoring horse-drawn vehicles for the San Benito Historical Society. Maudlin was Chief of Police for Pacific Grove from 1985 to 1993, working his way up from a patrolman position with the force, which he joined in 1962 He oversaw the now defunct water rescue patrol program. He is remembered by many for his appearances in the Good Old Days parade riding a small red motorcycle, which now resides in Jameson’s Motorcycle Museum. After his retirement, Maudlin decided to further pursue a life-long passion for woodworking, a craft he’d taught himself. He restored parts of his home and moved onto historic vehicle restoration projects roughly seven years ago. According to Maudlin, after seeing a dilapidated wooden buggy in a neighbor’s yard he became very interested in the possibility of restoring it himself and bought it from the neighbor and got to work in the driveway of his home. “Everything I get is a wreck and ruined, in a total state of disrepair and I just slowly, methodically rebuild them,” Maudlin said. Despite the often severe state of disintegration the vehicles are in when he gets them Maudlin also said he has never encountered a job he couldn’t do. After his first job he connected with the San Benito County Historical Society through a contact in Salinas and began donating his woodworking efforts restoring historical horse-drawn vehicles for them. Each project typically takes several hundred dollars that Maudlin pays for entirely himself and projects last six months. Common problems Maudlin sees is advanced deterioration due to exposure and lack of care along with rot and structural collapse, some of which is so severe that the buggies come to Maudlin in pieces. The buggies, or other vehicles, all of which are more 100 years old, delivered to Maudlin’s Pacific Grove home, sometimes in multiple pieces and often with extensive wood rot. He typically starts out by photographing the buggy from multiple angles and identifying similar vehicles using internet images to get a good idea of what the buggy looked like in its original condition before getting to work on rebuilding the vehicle itself. The process involves carefully tearing down the buggy and restoring it piece by piece. The buggies, once structurally restored, are then painted and oth- erwise adorned to appear as close to the original as possible. Maudlin primarily does the work by himself although sometimes receives assistance from friend and former City of Monterey employee Ernest Hazard. His restored vehicles are often used for show in parades both in Pacific Grove and Hollister. The first buggy Maudlin restored is featured in the Parade of Lights each year in Pacific Grove. Others are used in museums and parades. Some are kept in barns in Hollister owned by the Historical Society in San Benito County. Other notable projects include a horse-drawn hearse currently on display at the San Benito County Historical Society, a project that required painting and tasseling a large century-old hearse along with completely rebuilding it. Future projects for Maudlin include restoring a large, ornate buggy and what Maudlin calls a “school bus” buggy.

Top: An early project Maudlin took on was a horse-drawn hearse. The finished project was launched in May, 2012.
