The Supreme Court ruled against a part of 1996’s Defense of Marriage Act in June Skillshots 2013. This act defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The ruling struck down this exclusively heterosexual interpretation and gave same-sex couples access to all the federal benefits of marriage, such as taxation and federal employee health insurance, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Adrianne said that it was after this she and Sandy were able to file taxes together for the first time, despite having already been married five years. The Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage in all 50 states made marriage an institution that is available to all people. “It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right,” Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the opinion of the court. President Obama spoke in support of the ruling shortly after the court announced its decision. “Today, we can say in no uncertain terms that we have made our union a little more perfect,” the president said in his speech. Even though California had already legalized gay marriage before this ruling, the Supreme Court’s decision is a monumental step, Adrianne said. “It’s a triumph for human rights, a triumph for gay rights and a triumph for hu- manity,” Adrianne said. Taylor Rhyne, a graduate of Pacific Grove High School, served as both vice president and president of the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance. Rhyne said the high school was initially pretty close-minded and there was blatant bullying of both students and teachers. She was amazed by how much of an impact the group made after her friend started it. “It was really nice how the school took to it and it was really nice to be a part of it,” Rhyne said. Adrianne said she has spoken to the Gay-Straight Alliance at Pacific Grove High School and said she enjoyed seeing how accepting the students were.

The Rev. Richard Leslie of St. Mary’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church said the court’s stance has not changed the Episcopal definition of marriage, which is exclusively between a man and a woman. Rev. Leslie said there is a possibility that the definition might change, but it has not yet. While St. Mary’s will not perform same-sex marriages, Rev. Leslie said the church performs a “witnessing and blessing of a lifelong covenant” ceremony for people of the same gender. According to The Rev. Leslie, he does not tell his parishioners what to think about this and said he is available to listen to both people’s rejoicing and sorrow over the Supreme Court’s ruling. LUNCH & DINNER

Local Builder Sentenced in Tax Evasion Bicycle parking at the 4th of July BBQ and Insurance Crimes SOLUTION ON PAGE 16 On June 29, 2015, Juan D. Rosas, age 36 of Pacific Grove, was sentenced by the Honorable Julie R. Culver for three felony charges including failing to accurately report employee wages to obtain a lower workers’ compensation insurance premium; fraudulent use of a contractor’s license; and willfully failing to file payroll tax returns with intent to evade tax. The defendant was doing business as Juan the Builder and Associates, Inc. The defendant reported no employee wages or underreported wages to the State Compensation Insurance Fund [SCIF]; underreported or did not report any wages or payroll taxes to the Employment Development Department [EDD]; and worked as a contractor when his Contractor State License Board [CSLB] license was suspended. The defendant’s license was suspended in September, 2010 by CSLB for not having a bond and not having workers’ compensation insurance. The Secretary of State had also placed a suspension on his CSLB license. The defense attorney requested a specially set sentencing hearing to argue that the felonies should be reduced to misdemeanors. During the four hour hearing, Chief Inspector John Kuehl of the Monterey and Pacific Grove Building Department testified that homeowners need to be able to rely on representations as truthful when contractors state they are licensed and insured. He further testified that the integrity and honesty of contractors is of upmost importance to the homeowner who is allowing a contractor into their home to complete work often for a long period of time. Further, there is a potential liability issue when a contractor does not have a bond in place or has employees working for them without workers’ compensation insurance. The People argued against the felonies being reduced to misdemeanors. The court ruled the convictions would remain felonies and placed the defendant on probation for six years and four months, the maximum duration by law. The Court ordered the defendant to serve 40 days in county jail, pay over $30,000 in fines, be subject to a search by any probation or peace officer and be subject to other terms and conditions of probation to ensure the defendant is properly conducting business. The court ordered victim restitution in the amount of $67,406.82 to be paid to the SCIF with interest to accrue at 10% per annum and victim restitution in the amount of $155,250.03 to be Laura Peet paid to the EDD for the failure to file and pay payroll tax returns.

When I returned to the Monterey Peninsula in 1971, I purchased a tiny house on Wellings Place in Monterey down the street from Monte Vista School. Little did I know that in a little more than a year I would be married with a baby. It was a wonderful neighborhood; however, we were bursting at the seams. Ellen, then 9, was sharing her room with Jennie, Jay was cramped for style and we had acquired a couple of dogs and cats. Because we loved to entertain, we would load the place with friends, but there was no storage, no room for anything. Thanks to Jean Ehrman we found our current home on Grove Street between San Bernabe and Alameda. In a later column I will tell you about the folk who peopled the area in those days. On the corner was the old barn, what was left of the estate of Charles Rollo Peters, the famed artist. In our time it was occupied by Fred and Judy Todd, siblings, who were great artists in their own life, but extremely reclusive. Fred was blind and a wood carver, he could be seen daily, an Albert Einstein type, who wore a long coat and walked with a cane. He would go down town and never speak to anyone, the silence was reciprocated as he was dour and frightening. However, when Jennie was at Monte Vista, she and her best friend, Marcie Olson, broke through the shell and soon the girls would be seen with “Freddy” as he took his constitutional. The brother and sister would invite the little girls in for tea and to view their beautiful art works, Judy was a photographer... It is amazing what children can do to solve problems, too bad they aren’t ruling the world. The history of the house is fascinating. Charles Rollo Peters is known for his noc- turnal works. He was born to affluence in San Francisco in 1862. He attended boarding school where his first teacher was Jules Tavernier, who introduced him to his Barbizon influence and to the Monterey Peninsula. By 1889 he was a fully formed artist, having exhibited in Europe and been accepted in the Paris Salon. After years in the Bay Area and then Europe, he and his wife came to the Monterey Peninsula in 1896. He purchased a 30-acre property where he would build a home for his family. Construction began on a rustic estate that was to be known as Peters Gate. He lived lavishly, drank freely and entertained frequently. His home became a haven for arists All along the Central Coast, the July 4th weekend exerts a sort of tidal pull, drawing and the literati who had come to love the coast as much as the painters.

I’m going to get him before he gets killed.” The light Patricia Hamilton changed, Mary drove across and got him, gave the dog to me to hold in the backseat.

One warm summer day, the great mistress of the Festival chose the most graceful swan to be decorated with lights and lanterns and sent to help the beautiful Queen Topaz and her lover, Chang, escape from the evil Mandarin.

By Dixie Layne

Nathanial Roscoe “Ross” Sprague introduced glass bottom swan boats to Pacific Grove’s small harbor in 1894, taking advantage of the wonderful underwater show available just off Pacific Grove Beach. The swan boats were launched from a wooden pier in the middle of the cove next to Lovers Point. Passengers would sit on benches around the glass bottom of the boat, shielded from the sun by a canvas canopy, where they could easily see as deep as 50 feet into the water on a clear day. Passengers watched the underwater show from the swan boat’s three dimension- Once Upon A Time...there was also a Japanese Tea House at Lovers Point. al glass screen while the oarsmen allowed the boat to drift and float over the area known as Pacific Grove Marine Gardens. Ross Sprague lived on 18th Street, and he built most of the boats used at the beach in his nearby boat workshop. A house painter by trade, Ross fashioned the swan’s heads on the fore and aft of each glass bottom boat. Ross Sprague operated the swan boats as a city-sanctioned concession for 50 years. After Ross died in 1948, his son J. Russell Sprague took over the fleet, which by then contained paddleboats, rowboats, and motor launches for sport fishing. The swan boats were always part of the Feast of Lanterns. In the Festival’s ear- liest years, they were decorated with lights and lanterns and were part of the lighted boat parade. With the revival of the Feast of lanterns in 1958, there were years when the boats were used to bring Queen Topaz and her court to the pageant, and until the mid-’70’s they were used by Queen Topaz and her lover to make their escape from the evil Mandarin. After Russell Sprague died, the boats went through a number of owners and operated through 1976. The swan boats were put up for sale in January 1978, and there was an unsuccessful attempt to revive the attraction from 1979 to 1984 by the Chamber of Commerce. Today, the swan boats are just a memory to those who were lucky enough to see them float across the cove, decorated with lights and lanterns, as part of the Feast of Lanterns pageant, or filled with happy passengers enjoying the underwater sights on a calm day off Lovers Point. The swan boats were used during the feast of Lanterns. Above, Helen Getz as Queen Topaz escapes with her Chang, 1973

Bill Kampe, Mayor City Manager Frutchey is a Good Deal Editor: I would like to thank Pacific Grove Mayor Kampe and City Council for supporting Guest Commentary City Manager Tom Frutchey’s contract extension. Background: I have been a Pacific Grove resident for six years. For the first four years I worked as an Analyst for the City of Monterey, for the past two years I have worked as a public-private business consultant.

Sewer Maintenance Rates Explained I rarely meet City Managers who are highly intelligent, yet also as down to earth and accessible as Mr. Frutchey. You have probably received a letter this week urging you to protest an in- If the contract numbers I have read are correct, Pacific Grove is getting a very good crease in sewer maintenance fees. These fees are part of our Pollution Control value for a very good City Manager. When I look at the $100m+ budget of Monterey Agency bills. The new fees were proposed by the council in a unanimous vote and then look at PG's modest budget by comparison, the results speak for themselves. Pacific Grove, despite the budget challenges is clean, safe and steadily improving. on May 27.

That work was Sincerely, under a court order that just recently expired. Yet there is much work still to Sam Rashkin do. The maintenance plan was developed by a very capable engineering firm Pacific Grove after a thorough survey of sewer conditions.While we are a step beyond crisis, the council and city staff view the work as urgent. It’s a necessary expense and important for the quality of life for our residents and visitors.
