Two homes of equal value, Skillshots occupied by families utilizing the same City services, can have “markedly different” assessed values and property taxes. In Pacific Grove, property taxes account for 25 percent of City General Fund rev- enues, along with sales tax and transient occupancy tax. These pay for City services, such as police, fire, street maintenance and the Library – costs of which are outpacing property tax income increases. Only the voters can change Proposition 13. “It may be time in Pacific Grove to start considering measures that can address these inequities,” said Frutchey. “The failings associated with the current property tax system fall on each of the other local entities that are funded through property taxes, primarily the Pacific Grove Unified School System.” The Pacific Grove Unified School District is a basic aid district, one of some 22 in the state dependent primarily on property tax income. It has the advantage of including portions of Pebble Beach in the mix. Other school districts in the state rely on property tax income as well as state funds – when one goes up, the other goes down and the income remains static. Rick Miller, Assistant Superintendent of the Pacific Grove School District, says that someone from one of the groups has contacted him in recent months, but did not follow up with answers to his questions. He asks, for example, whether costs of services will increase if commercial property owners wind up paying a more modern property tax rate. He expressed an interest in looking at the proposal.

P LOVERS POINT From Page 1 more than 40 years. According to the seller’s agent, J.J. Taughinbaugh (along with Anh Stovall), the buyer paid $2.5 million cash for the prime property and intends to operate it as an Asian restaurant, likely serving sushi. The nearly 6,700 square foot building has been vacant for more than four years after Lattitudes closed in 2010. Before Lattitudes, the building house The Tinnery. At one time, “It was the Lovers Point drive-in and had the best onion rings in the world,” according to a local. The Elves family entertained many interested parties, both local and from across the United States, but they were looking for a quick closing and that’s what the suc- cessful buyer offered. Taghinbaugh, who represents Marcus and Millichap of Palo Alto, said that the liquor license was not part of the package, but that the new buyer will likely apply for one right away, while working on repairs and improvements he wants to make to the property. The Elves family also owns Lovers Point Inn and a popular candy store on the Monterey Wharf.

By Kevin Stone Monterey County Association of Realtors®

The housing markets of suburban Los Angeles are being transformed by affluent Celebrating 50 Years Chinese home buyers who have the funds to buy American real estate due to China’s economic high tide. The influx of foreign buyers is reportedly driving prices past boom- era peaks, particularly in the San Gabriel Valley. Mel Wong, president of the West San Gabriel Valley Assn. of REALTORS®, commented, “People are getting money out of mainland China and sticking it here.” Chinese buyers bought 12 percent of all U.S. homes purchased by foreign citizens last year, up from 5 percent in 2007. More than half of home purchases by Chinese buyers were in California, and more than two-thirds of them paid cash. There is a growing subset of property brokers and mortgage lenders who cater to the distinct needs of these buyers, including design details in new subdivisions. Many Chinese Americans want homes large enough to comfortably accommodate relatives from overseas. According to the Hurun Report, more than 60 percent of China’s wealthy have left or plan to leave the country, at least part time, and their top destination is the United States. Prices are experiencing upward pressure. For example, heavy demand pushed the median home sales price past $1.32 million last quarter in Arcadia’s 91007 ZIP Code, which is 30.5 percent above its peak in 2007, during the housing bubble. Hubs of Chinese investment are all seeing prices exceed their peaks, such as Walnut, Temple City, San Marino and parts of San Gabriel and East San Gabriel. For example, in the 91006 ZIP Code, prices are up 23.7 percent.

Hale has more than a decade of experience making animated films, which combine computer effects with puppetry, and has won numerous awards for his work. Perhaps his best-known work, “Yamasong,” has been honored at the Atlanta Film Festival, the Graphation Film Festival in Los Angeles and the World Music and Inde- pendent Film Festival. His other credits include art director for the Cartoon Network sow “Annoying Orange,” lead artist for Disney Jr.’s “Bite-Sized Adventures of Sam Sandwich,” and associate producer for Disney’s pilot, “Team Smithereen.” On April 10: • From 3-5 p.m., Mr. Hale will present a workshop on stop-motion puppet mak- ing. He will discuss his fabrication and construction process and show how he made “Yamasong” and his current work-in-progress, “Monster of the Sky.” • From 7-9 p.m., Mr. Hale will present the latest collection of Handmade Puppet Dreams, a film series created by Heather Henson, daughter of the late Jim Henson. Handmade Puppet Dreams is a touring festival of films, created by independent art- ists. The films focus primarily on marionettes, finger puppets and paper cutouts, and showcase a new generation of puppeteers who embrace film as a medium of artistic expression. Mr. Hale works as a producer for Handmade Puppet Dreams. Both events will be held in the Cinematic Arts Building on Sixth Avenue and A Street. Driving directions and a campus map are available at csumb.edu/maps. While the events are free, visitors must purchase a parking permit from a machine on the lot. Some of the films contain mature content and are not suitable for children younger than 14. On April 12, the university and MY Museum will partner to offer a program for the whole family. At 1 p.m., puppet films will be screened, followed by puppet-making activities with Mr. Hale. Museum admission must be paid. MY Museum is located at 425 Washington St., Monterey. CSUMB is developing an animation curriculum within its Cinematic Arts and Technology Department. This is the program’s first public event. Page 8 • CEDAR STREET Times • April 4, 2014

During World War II, he served as co-pilot of a B-24 for the Naval Air Corps in the Pacific Theater, for which he earned a Silver Star, Purple Heart and Cal Am 3/4 Distinguished Flying Cross. After the war, Richard supported his family through a range of blue collar jobs on the south side of Chicago. He started painting in his 40’s after attending group lessons at a local park. Painting in oils and acrylics, his subject matter included landscapes, abstracts, and many floral motifs. His son Peter has continued the artistic tradition through photography and painting and has exhibited his father’s art in Studio Silzer for many years.

In mid-Victorian England, the aged raffish adventurer Trelawny looks back at his not-wholly- creditable but decidedly exciting life, with its fatal friendship with Shelley and Byron. The characterization will be held at The Little House in Jewell Park, Pacific Grove (Central and Grand) on Sat., April 12, at 5:30. Admission is $10 at the door.

On March 21, Iration – a Reggae group – performed at the Catalyst Club in down- town Santa Cruz. Natural Incense and Micah Brown, a folk style band from Lancaster, California opened the show. The second set was played by Natural Incense with their amazing reggae rock style. Iration closed out the show around midnight performing many of their classics, as well as new songs from their 2013 released album, “Automatic.” The band is originally from Hawaii but formed in Santa Barbara California. My favorites of their new songs they performed were “Burn,” “One Way Track,” “This Old Song,” and “Back Around.” The positive vibes of the music and the mellow ambiance of the crowd made for a great concert and good evening at the Catalyst. You can see the live acoustic version of “One Way Track” on thepier.org.

This is an unusual to This Point state agency, in that it benefits union members who donate to the legislature which then grants them their benefits. This does not excuse PERS from putting out misleading literature and minimize the impact of changes.

I don’t want to see us get to where we can only afford a handful of highly paid police officers and firemen with great pensions; while at the same time our streetlights are out, our roads are in disrepair, and we can’t afford to provide other services. So how did we get here? When PERS was started in the 1930s it provided a pension for state government employees based on a credit of 1.5 percent for each year of service. That percentage Measure O will save millions was applied to the employee’s last five years of salary and, at that time, employees could retire at age 65 and their pensions payments would start.

H: No, dogs hadn’t yet been invented. Bernard Furman A: What do you mean by that? H: The domestication of descendants of wolves and their conversion into dogs hadn’t Marriage Can Be Funny been completed. So we had wolves as pets, instead. A: How did that work out? H: Fairly well, except for the occasional times they ate one or two members of the tribe. Harry, as the 2500-year old man, is being interviewed by son-in-law Andy. A: Wasn’t that very disturbing to you?

Andy: I assume that there were distinct groups of population in your time? H: Not really. It was our way of disposing of the old and weak. Harry: Yes, they were divided into tribes. A: How were the relations between tribes? A: How did you distinguish one tribe from another? Did they have names? H: As you would expect, sometimes good, sometimes bad. H: Certainly. There was the Hills Tribe, the Forest Tribe, the Plains Tribe, the Lake A: Did you fight with each other? Tribe, and mine was the Mountain Tribe, which meant that we could look down on H: Oh, yes. We had some dandy little wars. everyone else. That’s a joke, son. A: For what reasons? A: What was the governmental structure in each tribe? H: We didn’t have to have a reason. When we got bored, we fought. H: Each had a Chief and a Medicine Man. The Chief made all the decisions and the Medicine Man did a lot of chanting. A: If you took prisoners, did they become slaves? H: Absolutely not! Slavery is a crime against nature. Do you think we were barbarians? A: How was the Chief chosen? A: I’m delighted to hear that. So what did you do with your prisoners? H: By the club. H: We ate them. A: You mean like an election committee? A: You ate them? How could you possibly condone cannibalism? H: No, I mean the war club. Whoever could wield it best was the Chief; and in our tribe, that was me. H: It put the prisoners out of their misery, we didn’t have to feed them, and it provided us with needed protein—a perfect solution. A: What functions did the other men perform? A: How did it taste? H: Everyone was a hunter. When not hunting, some were builders, some were wagon pullers, and so on. H: Like chicken. A: What was the role of the women? H: They bore and took care of the children, cooked and cleaned. They were supposed to be seen but not heard, but obviously that didn’t happen. We heard a lot from them, believe me. A: Did you practice monogamy or polygamy? H: Every man was limited to one wife, except the Chief, who could have several. A: Did you? Lee Brady to Lead Six-Week H: My first wife made sure I didn’t.
