The dog's name is Cherry and she is Skillshots a 22 pound, 5-year-old mixed breed. Cherry was trapped to be destroyed during the culling of the dogs in Sochi, Russia to make way for the Olympics. Luckily a kind-hearted citizen sprung her from the trap and took her to a makeshift animal shelter. Rescue groups from around the world are being called upon to help take in these displaced dogs. POMDR volunteer, Simona Prochazka, MD, was in Sochi, Russia for the Olympics and witnessed the stray problem first hand. She will be fostering Cherry upon her arrival. Cherry will be traveling 1,000 miles from Sochi to Moscow, another 1,000 miles from Moscow to Frankfurt, then 6,000 miles to San Francisco. Cherry will get a vet- erinary exam upon arrival and then be available for adoption. Although POMDR's focus is on helping dogs left behind on the Central Coast, from time to time the organization does take in dogs from international situations on a case by case basis.

The Pacific Improvement Company had 520 Pine Avenue, 831-373-0431 brought the buffalo in for the viewing pleasure of tourists, but the animals, which First Baptist Church of Pacific Grove were pastured near the lighthouse, committed such transgressions as breaking down 246 Laurel Avenue, 831-373-0741 Fish’s fences and trampling her gardens. Fish complained and the Pacific Improvement Company ordered the buffalo slaughtered. Guests at the Del Monte Hotel enjoyed a St. Mary’s-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church barbecue dinner. Emily Fish participated even though she had officially given up her Central Avenue & 12 tsp.h Street, 831-373-4441 lighthouse duties on April 8, 1914.

This was the third game these teams have played, and the 146 8th Street, 831-655-4160 Grove has won them all. This was no soft snap for the locals, as the county seat team Christian Church Disciples of Christ of Pacific Grove is a strong one. However, the Grove boys won out in the ninth with superior strategy. 442 Central Avenue, 831-372-0363 Judge approves In the case of P. H. Sheeby vs William Winaker and W.

40067 Page 10 • CEDAR STREET Times • April 25, 2014 Aphrodite’s flower, Columbine: Many uses for health and well-being By Marilee Childs

One of the most exquisitely beloved wildflowers is columbine. This magnificent rock-loving flower brightens our hearts in cool, hidden forest grottos, lifting our spirits higher. Columbine, or the genus Aquilegia, arrived in North America some 10,000 to 40,000 years ago during the Pleistocene. Crossing from Asia into North America over the Bering land bridge that once connected the two continents, columbine began to radiate rapidly out of Alaska and through the North American continent. Columbine’s evolution created ever-new species, developing uniquely shaped colored flowers in response to habitats and pollinators. Over time columbine developed different spur shapes and different positions for presenting their flowers, sepals, and spurs, responding intuitively to primary pollinators like the Swallowtail butterfly. Columbine was known as the plant of Aphrodite in ancient Greek and Roman times. In Celtic culture, columbine is said to open doors to other realms. In the Christian tradition, the columbine’s spurs were thought to be reminiscent of doves and came to represent God’s hovering spirit. Columbine flowers taken with wine promote perspiration, and the seeds taken with wine are said to speed the delivery of a child. Columbine opens obstructions of the liver, helps treat jaundice, and relieves kidney stones. A lotion made from the fresh root can be rubbed on affected areas to relieve rheumatic aches and pains. Native Americans used minute amounts of crushed seeds for headaches, love charms, and fevers. Roots were chewed or a weak tea was consumed for stomach troubles. Bumblebees and children nibble holes in the spurs of this flower to sip its sweet nectar. Turn to a flower essence made from columbine when you need to feel more peace, gentleness, and love toward yourself.

Celebrating Earth Day in Pagrovia By Cameron Douglas

Pacific Grove’s Community Garden enjoyed a solid turnout on April 19, as Sustainable Pacific Grove hosted an early Earth Day celebration. The sun broke through a week-old fog bank to light up hundreds of plants and smiling faces. Gardeners and young gardeners-to-be enjoyed the fruits and vegetables of their labor. Every garden needs water, and this one is well pro- vided for with a system that should satisfy any environ- mentalist. A 2,600-gallon enclosed cistern stands at the southwest corner. California American Water donated the tank, which stores water collected off a nearby classroom roof. Community High School principal Barbara Marti- nez organized a PGUSD team to finish the installation.

Gravity feeds water to the big tank, which in turn fills two 55-gallon tanks that are fitted for hoses. “These systems are becoming the norm,” said Manley, adding that he has done several for clients in Carmel Valley. Catherine Bowie of Cal-Am External Affairs at- tended the event, where she visited with Manley and studied the completed catchment system. “Being in the worst drought year on record in California, it’s so important for people to think about ways to conserve water,” said Bowie. The garden is located off Ridge Road at the Adult School location, where it occupies a sizeable piece of natural area behind the school. There is a waiting list to get in. When inquiring, mention the desired amount of space you want to use. For more information, contact Karin Locke: [email protected]/

John’s car did not pass the smog test. The first analysis was that it needed a new distributor. The place where he took his ancient VW said, “No it isn’t a distributor issue, but a catalytic convertor.” So, to another garage. “Yes, that is the problem, but not easily resolved.” So, back next week. There goes our tax refund and more. However, it is cheaper than trying to find a new second hand car. I took Friday off so that I could cook all day. I made the mistake of trying to resolve an ongoing issue with Quicken, with whom I do my on-line banking. There have been problems since I purchased Bill Pay 2014…After countless hours on line and on the telephone with agents, who tried, but were not successful; starting in January, I was told it was a bank issue. So, yesterday, I talked to a representative of my financial institution. We got the bank connected with Quicken, but it wouldn’t accept my password for Intuit which owns Quicken Bill Pay. Another three hours on line with their represen- tative. At 5:00, after three hours, we gave up. Someone from Quicken called me this morning wanting to resolve my problem. I have no time today, so Monday I will need to call them back. John says I should change to another bill paying service, he is right, but I am frustrated and determined. Obviously with a large party looming on Friday for which I do all of the cooking, I needed groceries. John went out at 2:30. He didn’t return until close to 6:00. He had loaded his cart at Safeway, not a small task. Got to the check-out line. The com- puters were down and Safeway was accepting only cash. Customers were told they could go to the ATM at Wells Fargo. Unfortunately he had neither his debit card nor Rocky Point restaurant didn’t do an Easter brunch per se, but a late morning cash. It wouldn’t have mattered; the bank ran out of cash. Lots of people shopping breakfast on its outdoor terrace amounted to the same thing. A friend’s birthday for Easter. There was rage in the streets, and I am sure heads will roll somewhere. So, coincided with Easter Week this year, so a Big Sur foray on Sunday marked both my good husband went to Costco and did some marketing but not all. This postpones occasions. my cooking by half a day. If the weather holds and nothing else goes wrong I am sure We reached the restaurant before the meal service began, but the hostess led us it will be a successful event. to a table anyway. “It’s a nice place to wait,” she said. There was no arguing with Monday: It is a truism that if anything can go wrong, it does. My good husband that.

After sending a seltzer blast of spray high into the air, each wave would rebound We settled down to view our team and hope that they might beat San Diego after back to sea, effectively doubling the height and fury of the next incoming one. two abysmal losses. But the television would not turn on. No picture – no sound. Soon the terrace resounded with the shouts of arriving patrons trying to gauge We tried everything and finally John called AT&T Uverse.

It hovered 20 feet over the water and 10 yards shoreward of the takeoff zone. In the foamy hiatus before the next set rumbled through, I could see the ma- chine was square or rectangular and about the size of a dresser drawer. Four small rotors mounted at its corners kept it aloft, and a small black camera peered out from its undercarriage. Whoever controlled it from shore had a steady hand on the joy- stick, for the drone scarcely wobbled as it awaited a video-worthy wave. One of these at length swept in around the point, and a surfer dutifully took off on it. The drone sped backward through the air, presumably keeping the surfer in focus as he rocketed off the lip, head-dipped into the tube, then zig-zagged in toward the breakwater. Long before that surfer paddled back out, the photo-drone had zipped back into position over the lineup, ready to immortalize the next takeoff, cutback and head dip. Alternately treading and swallowing water, I marked Easter Sunday, 2014, as my first encounter with a drone. It was so sudden and unexpected I didn’t know quite how to respond. Others in the water seemed equally surprised. Some waved at the quadricoptor, some cursed at it, and others just watched it hover. Then a monster cleanup set roared in, and aviation novelty gave way to marine survival. The drone zipped away and reappeared two or three more times in the next 20 minutes, then presumably returned to its landing pad. It was only a brief, benign encounter on a happy afternoon, but it felt like a glimpse into an uneasy future. Hackers, computer firms and surveillance agencies already compromise our privacy, but they do so unobserved. In the coming drone world, we’ll see that eye in the sky, and it will see us. So surf well, young grasshopper. April 25, 2014 • CEDAR STREET Times • Page 21

When I visited Germany last year, I had many great adventures that took me all over the northern part of the country. Dur- ing that grand tour, I noticed an astonishing number of garden statues — gnomes in particular. From old moss covered guys that were several feet high and graced the doorsteps of many ancient stone houses to a bevy of brightly colored gnomes captured in various gardening activities. I loved their pointy, red hats and long white gnome babies, which they gname with creatures. Gradually, the elemental groups beards as they were frozen forever in the gnomish gnames.
