An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word MENGJUN CHEN | PHOTO BY CHRIS HARDY “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Perhaps because I spent my early days on an army post and my parents were exceedingly patriotic. My Mother’s family were early settlers of this country. They were not to the manor born, but as so many escaped from En- gland to enjoy freedom of religion. It is ironic that Benjamin Morse’s wife was accused of witchcraft in 1682, convicted and sentenced to death from which she was reprieved with sense began to prevail in New England. These folk came to America for a better life, as did my father and his family over two hundred years later. What is happening today, appalls and frightens most of us. The hatred that prevails is something most of us have not seen before. I must confess I was not in the heart of things at the end of the Vietnam War, which was also a shameful time. When we hear about those returning from war with PTSD it is astounding that there are not more. I can’t imagine, how many of us can imagine the horrors they have seen and experienced. We should get on our knees and thank these brave people who have enabled us to remain unscathed, instead we wage a war within. We hear daily about mass murders. While I don’t own a gun and have reservations about guns in the home, I don’t believe weapons are the culprits. If someone wants a gun, he or she will get one, somehow. There needs to be more careful surveillance. In several cases we have learned that the perpetrator had demonstrated erratic behavior in the past and should have been locked-up somewhere. However, that is not the point of this column. I just wish we could return to the days when our eyes misted at a parade and our flag waving. Listen to Kate Smith and “God Bless America”.. think about what wounded warriors and those who didn’t make it back have given to us. For a moment, take a breath, shake hands with your political opponent and be thankful you live in a country where you have the freedom to express differences..

The Steelhead Association has been helping save the steelhead in the Carmel River Stay tuned for more news of the Valley. and it would be interesting and educational to look at their web site on a regular basis as well as considering joining this group which is vital to the preservation of the fish and the river. When we moved to the Valley in 1988 the river had not reached the Ocean for quite sometime. It was a time of drought. In the early 1990’s efforts were undertaken to transport returning steelhead up river so that the Carmel River Steelhead would continue to survive. The Lamprey Els also swim up river with the steelhead. See the Cedar Street Times Report that I prepared on that subject on Dec. 16, 2016 which was also prepared with the help of LeNeve. The most recent meeting of the Steelhead Group was on Nov. 15. Check their web site for programs of educational interest and open to the public. Their meetings are held at the Carmel Area Wast Water District Community Room located at 3549 Rio Road, Carmel, Calif.The membership dues to join are $25.00 for one person or $45.00 for a family. The Association stated in its recent newsletter that “Our Carmel River run of steelhead was in excess of 18,000 in the 1920’s and has declined to an average of 242 recored fish over the San Clemente Dam between 2006 and 2015”. Be sure to check the web site of the University Of California Hasting Natural History Reservation. We took a tour several years ago. You need to make reservations. It is located on Carmel Valley Road just east of the Carmel Valley Village. The Hasting website explains that there have been 500 research projects carried out at the location since 1937. The size of the Reservation is quite large and students from around the world join University Of California students in doing research. Most people that we talk to do not even know that it is there. It just as important as any research program in Monterey County. Page 12 • CEDAR STREET Times • November 16, 2018

Page 18 • CEDAR STREET Times • November 16, 2018 CEDAR STREET SUMMIT—Part 16 Kayla quits council as caravan comes to California Wanda Sue Parrott Homeless in Paradise Resigning effective December 1, Kayla Jones, 25, is retiring from her brief stint as Seaside City Councilmember and 2018 mayoral candidate (she lost to Ian Oglesby whose council seat she won in 2016). If you recall, this column announced “Kayla cockadoodledos council at Seaside City Hall” on Sept. 7. It detailed her outburst at the Sept. 4 council meeting at which she railed against alleged sexual harassment from the older all-male city council, and ended with a threat that basically sounded to me like: “If you don’t stop, I’ll make a lot of noise.” That’s why I called Kayla’s eloquent elocution “cockadoodling” and posed the question: “Did candidate crow like a hen or cackle like a cock?”

For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. In the talented young city councilmember’s case, the karmic reaction that apparently prompted her resignation was a public outcry demanding that Kayla Jones be recalled for overspending public money, allegations against which she spent the last two months exonerating herself. That’s not the end of the story. Kayla just celebrated her 25th birthday, meaning her brain is probably now through growing and ready to start its life as a mature young woman. What’s next for her? I would suggest she seriously consider writing Young Adult novels and, thus, do for the upcoming generation what the old Nancy Drew mystery tales did for me: inspire other limitations of sovereignty.” regardless of the religion involved. . . . girls to become more than just setting hens who lay eggs The Nazis started identifying those who were The masses have been blinded and given their that never hatch.

Outstanding campaigns were run by mayoral candidates: Rudy Fischer and Dionne Ybarra and council member candidates: Dan Miller, Andrew Kubica, Jenny McAdams, Amy Tomlinson, Tama Olver, Steven Lilley and Joe Amelio.

I greatly appreciate their positive and thoughtful campaigns. The focus was on issues and not on personalities. They set good examples that others can follow.

I also wish to acknowledge the significant commitments candidates made both in time and effort. In our haste to judge who we wish to elect, it can be easy to overlook the contributions made by each and everyone. We are very lucky to have such talented people willing to put their names forward to go on the ballot.

During campaigning I would occasionally be greeted by “thank you for running”. I’ll remember to say this now even though the election is over.

Thank you and best wishes to all candidates for stepping up.

Hospice Giving Foundation Seeks to Increase Public Awareness Hospice Giving Foundation celebrates National Hospice and Palliative Care Month every November to increase public awareness about the benefits of hospice and palliative care. This year’s theme is “My Hospice. A Program that Works. A Benefit that Matters.” What began as primarily a volunteer-driven, grassroots movement in the 1970s, hospice is now an integrated part of our nation’s health care delivery system providing care to more than 1.43 million Medicare beneficiaries and their families every year. A Medicare benefit since 1982, hospice focuses on providing comfort, relieving pain and offering support to patients and their family caregivers, and provides bereave- ment services to people following the death of a loved one. Hospice Care in America: Sore winners versus strategic losers • 48 percent of Medicare decedents were enrolled in hospice at the time of death (in by Joy Colangelo 2016). • Median length of service was 24 days. There’s a posting going around the Facebook world that states “I’d much rather live • 5 percent of patients received care for 90 days or less, while those receiving care next door to someone who crossed a desert to become an American, than an American for more than 180 days accounted for 13.6 percent. who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.” It’s a statement meant to deride • Cancer was the most common principle diagnosis, accounting for 27.2 percent of those who fear the caravan of immigrants but I read it on my own page as a statement patients; increasing among the patient populations is a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or about “neighbors” who won’t cross their street to be civil to short term renters or even, dementia which accounts for 18 percent. in my case, the owner of the house for 30 years.

More space means more options, which can be exploited both tactically and strategically. A player who has all pieces developed and no tactical vision or promising long-term plan has likely lost the center space and likely the end game. Here’s what No on M has as an opening: one player accepts less space for a time, to set up a counterattack in the middlegame. That is called hypermodern play. The game has just begun.

What does God say about the power of His love? he careth for you.” This humble nature God calls us to, opens our hearts and minds; which then allows His Word, and will, to penetrate the depths of our souls. Let us now look at the life changes we will see along the path to completing God’s calling. Bill Cohen Gal 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentle- ness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” This fruit frees us from the preoccupation of self, teaching us patience, allowing us to see our problems as stepping-stones to the solutions God will provide. We can then focus on Reasoning others and our part in God’s plan to help them through their troubles. Charity is that part of love, which brings us into harmony with God’s plan, Col 3:14, “And above all With God these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” We learn by experience that giving is better than receiving, Acts 20:35, “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord When we understand the depth of God’s love for us, Rom 5:8, “But God commen- Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” deth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” we love Our relationships change when we work from the spirit of love, Eph 5:25, “Hus- Him, 1 Jn 4:19, “We love him, because he first loved us.” This love teaches us not to bands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for fear, 1 Jn 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because it;” Our love for our spouses comes to life as our deeds match our words and become fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” and the freedom this expressions of our love. brings allows us to change our lives. Jn 15:12-13, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved His love confirms the hope He has promised us of an eternal life, which changes you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” our perspective on everything in this life. Our future is already secure, so we are free Our love for our friends becomes limitless, as we learn to lay down that part of our “And that he died for all, that they which to live this life helping Him, 2 Cor 5:15, 17, lives, which have separated us from our friends. Friendships grow deeper, as our friends live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, feel our love for them. and rose again…Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things Matt 5:43-44, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” and hate thine enemy.

We no longer judge them; their imperfections become opportunities be selfless, 1 Cor 13:4-8, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; for us to show our forgiveness, as we become more reasonable. charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh This change is hastened by our examination of our lives, Prov 4:26-27, “Ponder not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand rejoiceth in the truth;” nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” We begin to see the little things we are Our new found selfless love no longer uses dissimulation to manipulate others to doing, which negatively affect the lives of those around us. Then, one by one, we do our will, Rom 12:9, “Let love be without dissimulation.

This world calls us to darkness; however, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” God calls us to the His Truth, which leads to good, 1 Jn 3:18, “My little children, let Our lives become more interesting when we focus less on ourselves and begin us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” He is not calling us helping our neighbors, “Sir John Templeton once wrote that it is impossible to be bored to thought alone, but rather to action, to deed. Only then can our lives be changed, if you love your neighbor.” - It’s Good to be Good: Love Your Neighbor, by STEPHEN G. POST, thus drawing others to God.
