belt in the center of a residential area. And this crew should know — the work would
have begun earlier but they had been assigned to a wildland fire. They’ll take a week
away and be back, said Weissfuss.
He said he hoped to “fracture the canopy,” a term meaning to open it up to the sky,
so that re-seeding on the forest floor has a better chance. Normally, the canopy would
be fractured by a fire, a disease, or a treefall in bad weather. Weissfuss said he would
be going back in later to plant more trees to replace dead and dying ones.
The crew “chipped” what they could and hauled away larger pieces. Next year,
Weissfuss said that “weed-eating” may be all that’s required, dependant on weather in
the coming winter. ßNext up, when funding is available and the CalFire crew is, too,
will be Rip Van Winkle Open Space on Congress.

In Pacific Grove, an air temperature of 66 degrees F. isn’t very cold at all. But it
was pretty darned cold if you were one of the four Pacific Grove Police officers
who’d been “called out” to be splashed with ice water. The event is a goodnatured way to raise money for the Fallen Officer fund. The officers who have
been called out and have the ice water dumped on them and pay $10 each, or
avoid having the ice water dumped on them by paying $100 each.
Said Chief Vicki Myers, “I told them I would pay the avoidance fee on their
behalf, but they said they would be good sports in the hopes of encouraging
other participants, and let us soak them.”
And soak they did, with City Manager Tom Frutchey pouring an ice chest full
(emphasis on “ice”) and Cdr. Cassie McSorley a big bowl of ice water on (L-R)
Sgt. Jeff Fenton and officers Vanessa Alvarez, Eva Rasul and Amy Lonsinger,
the good sports that they were. Well, maybe not: They, in turn, “called out” a
number of other officers, some from Pacific Grove, others from Seaside and
other area cities, as well as Sheriff’s Department and even Fire Department
personnel. Photo by Peter Nichols
Area Volunteers Going to
Washington State to Aid
in Wildfire Relief Efforts
The American Red Cross Santa Cruz County
Chapter has deployed additional volunteers to Washington where wildfires have forced residents from their
homes. Jay Dravich, Arthur Larios, and Rick Daniel of
Santa Cruz; Allan Mayfield of Carmel Valley; Dennis
Poole and Michael Eugene Fyfe of Aptos; and Russell
Cole of Boulder Creek will join volunteers already in
Washington who are providing shelter, food, and emotional support to residents who have been displaced.
Trained members of the Red Cross workforce
are responding to help people affected by wildfires in
Washington and Oregon where thousands of acres are
burning and residents are being forced to leave their
homes. A total of 16 volunteers from the Gateway to
the Golden State region are responding thus far.
WILDFIRE SAFETY
If your home is being threatened by a wildfire,
make sure the entrance to your driveway and house
number are clearly marked. Other safety steps include
the following:
· If a fire is burning in the area, be ready to evacuate quickly.
· Back your car into the garage or park it out in the
open facing the direction you need to go to escape.
· Be cautious driving in the area – winds can unexpectedly cause poor visibility on the roads.
· Drivers should also watch for downed power lines
and poles.
· Listen and watch for air quality reports and health
warnings about smoke. People with health conditions need to take extra precautions.
· Keep indoor air clean by closing windows and doors
to prevent outside smoke from getting in.
· Use the recycle or re-circulate mode on the air
conditioner in your home or car. If you do not have
air conditioning and it is too hot to stay inside with
closed windows, seek shelter elsewhere.
· When smoke levels are high, do not use anything
that burns and adds to indoor air pollution, such as
candles, fireplaces, and gas stoves. Do not vacuum
because it stirs up particles that are already inside
your home.
· If you have asthma or another lung disease, follow
your health care provider’s advice and seek medical
care if your symptoms worsen.

Maintaining Wellness: The Holistic Pet Care Approach
By Cheryl Beller, M.B.A.
In case you haven’t yet noticed, there
is a quiet evolution occurring in pet care
that mirrors the evolution in people care.
People are becoming more mindful of
alternative options to maintain wellness,
avoid illness, and treat disease if it does
develop. Pet owners are discovering that,
in addition to relying upon their veterinarians for preventive and medical care, new,
additional options for creating wellness
and supporting health are emerging for
their pets, just as they are for themselves.
Pet practitioners are all around us.You may
not have yet embraced them as part of your
pet’s health team. But, if you consider that
each in some way supports our understanding of our pets, and our ability to create
the most supportive and healthful possible
environment for them, then you may begin
to identify them as important components
of your pet’s path to maximum wellness.
Just who are some of these practitioners, and why should pet owners know
about them? There are trainers, communicators, aromatherapists, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors,
exercise and physical therapists, herbalists, psychologists, behaviorists, and
combinations thereof. They offer an array of holistic approaches that go beyond
what has been available to our pets in the
past, often combining available holistic
techniques.
Let’s take the example of aromatherapy, in order to discover the value of
the holistic approach. There are now safe,
proven botanically based products that
may be used in place of, or in addition
La Mia Cucina Ristorante
to, medicines currently on the market.
A few veterinarians are beginning to
discover and embrace these alternatives
to synthetic chemicals. Many other practitioners routinely integrate essential oils
into their work, along with other modalities. Essential oils offer a wide range of
therapeutic actions which benefit people
and pets. Some oils are distasteful to fleas,
ticks, and flies. Some help calm the skin
or soothe the digestive tract. Others reduce inflammation and discomfort. Some
kill viruses or bacteria. Some support
the immune system or specific organs.
The benefits of the oils go on and on.
Botanicals have been used since ancient
times to treat diseases, promote wellness,
enhance comfort, for cosmetic purposes,
in perfumery, and to restore emotional and
psychological balance.
Perhaps most importantly, these natural products, used judiciously, may help
to prevent disease before it occurs. They
can help our pets adapt to, and be more
comfortable in, our complex and demanding society. By helping them to adapt, our
pets can avoid stress which might lead to
disease (dis-ease) . From that perspective,
the pet owner has an opportunity to be the
preventive “moving force” in the pet’s life.
When a dog is behaving uneasily, applying a properly prepared blend of botanicals which allay fear and induce relaxation
is just the ticket. Unlike traditional medicine’s “magic bullet” approach, in which
results are expected to be instantaneous,
using the oils in this manner allows for
owner participation and interaction. As the
owner applies the oils through gentle massage each day, the dog becomes more relaxed, more outgoing, and happier overall.
The human-canine bond is strengthened,
and a more satisfying relationship results.
Because the dog is happy and relaxed, he
or she is less pre-disposed to illness.
It is important to note that with
aromatherapy, as in any other alternative
therapy, there is a body of experience and
knowledge supporting the safe and effective manner of application. Some species
(e.g. cats) respond badly to essential oils,
but not to the by-product of the distillation
process – hydrosols. Each species tolerates
and responds most positively to specific
dilution percentages. Some oils are safe
for some species and not for others. It is
important to do in-depth research, or work
with someone who has, when applying any
alternative care.
Our pets add so much to our lives. We
live in a time of expanding awareness of
the many ways in which we can enhance
their lives and support our special relationship with them. By taking a journey into
a more holistic approach, you and your
pet can only benefit from the amazing
and ever-expanding array of alternatives
available to us all.

PGPD Nabs Two in Chase to Salinas
Last night, Fri. July 18 at 11:40 PM, PGPD saw a vehicle run a stop sign at Presidio
Blvd and Funston Ave. They recognized the car as belonging to suspects wanted for burglary. The driver refused to yield to the officer and took off on Hwy 68 and onto Hwy 1.
A chase ensued through Monterey, Seaside, Marina and the former Ft Ord. Monterey
PD, Seaside PD, Sand City PD, Marina PD, Presidio PD, CHP and Monterey County
Sheriffs joined the chase. The suspect vehicle was stopped at Las Palmas Pkwy and
River Rd in Salinas with the help of Mo. Co. Sheriffs. The driver, 35-year-old Victor
Ramirez from Seaside was arrested for evading a peace officer, reckless driving, eluding a police officer by driving against traffic, unlawful possession of drugs, and being
under the influence of drugs. The female passenger, Nichole Baker, a 36-year-old
woman from Pacific Grove, was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics and
possession of burglar’s tools.
A number of items, suspected to be stolen property, along with illegal narcotics
and burglar’s tools, were found in the vehicle. In addition, the driver was charged with
cruelty to animals in or upon a vehicle, because he had a small chocolate Labrador puppy
unsecured in the vehicle during the chase. No one, including the puppy, was injured.
The pair was transported and lodged at Monterey County Jail to await arraignment.
Five Sets of License Plates Stolen
Friday, July 18 Pacfic Grove Police officers responded to the 1000 block of Austin
Ave. where front and rear license plates of at least five vehicles had been stolen. No
suspects yet. PGPD asks you to be vigilant.
Two pedestrians injured
Two pedestrians were injured while crossing the street near Lovers Point at about
3:08 in the afternoon on July 23. A driver, aged 92, was heading south on 17th St. He
stopped at the stop sign and then turned left on Ocean View and didn't see the two
pedestrians who were partially across the street in the marked crosswalk. A 60-year-old
woman and her granddaughter, 11, were injured. The juvenile had minor injuries and
was transported to CHOMP in an ambulance. The grandmother was more seriously
injured and was transported by air to a trauma center. Her injuries do not appear to
be life-threatening.
CHP offering Start Smart
classes in Salinas
The California Highway Patrol is asking parents and teens to take some time to
attend a free driving safety class aimed at young motorists on Thursday, July 31, 2014
at the Monterey Area CHP office at 6:00 PM in Salinas.
The two-hour “Smart Start” class is designed for new and future drivers, ages 15
through 19, and their parents. The class is taught by CHP officers who discuss factors
that contribute to crashes and how they can be avoided.
Some of those officers will talk about investigating fatal crashes involving teenage drivers. Commissioner Joe Farrow of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) notes,
“Our officers tell us one of the most stressful parts of their job is when they have to tell
the parents of a teen that their child was killed in an automobile crash. We are proud
to play a role in this educational program to reduce collisions, save teens from injury
or death, and keep a parent or family member from receiving heartbreaking news.”
Driving deaths are the number one killer of teens; and the most frequent causes are
distracted and reckless driving. “Crash data demonstrate that more action is needed,”
added Commissioner Farrow. “In addition to the high rate of teen drivers who are
involved in a crash in their first year of driving, the fatal crash risk per mile driven
by 16-year-olds is twice that of 18 to 19-year-olds, and about seven times the risk for
drivers ages 30-59.”
For more information, call the Monterey Area CHP office at 831-796-2197.
Tourist Centers Seek Volunteers
The Pacific Grove Tourist Centers are looking for volunteers to assist at 584 Central Avenue or 100 Central Avenue, Pacific Grove. A variety of shifts are available for

Catch Me If You Can
On Laurel Ave., officers attempted to stop a driver for violations and the
driver fled the scene and eluded officers in a high-speed chase. Eventually, he
crashed the car and fled on foot. The owner of the vehicle was located at his
residence and alleged no knowledge of the incident. He was also extremely drunk.
Found Dog
A large husky was found on Lobos and transported to the City Yard.
Purse Found
...and turned in. ID was found in the purse and the owner was notified.
To Sign or not to Sign
A person on Central reported that someone contacted him and said he was
collecting signatures for a petition. He did not have a booth or any signage for
the county in which he was colleting signatures. The reporting party gave his
name and address at first, but then withdrew the information after consideration.
The signature collector became upset. The reporting party was concerned that
the data was being collected in order to commit burglary or other crimes. He
had recorded the signature gatherer’s license number.
Open Invitation
A car was noticed on Granite St., parked with the door open. The console
and glove box were closed and it didn’t appear that the car had been rummaged
through. The person who answered the door said the car belonged to her room
mate and that it did not appear anything was missing.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
A woman was walking with her daughter and smoking an e-cigarette. A
man behind her called her a “bitch” and accused her of blowing smoke in his
face. she told him she wasn’t aware he was behind her. He got even more upset
and said he was going to call the police, so she did it for him.
Identity and Costco Theft
The suspect had some bank checks made with an account from Santa Cruz
Community Credit Union and passed one at Costco to the tune of $677.37.
DUI
Monterey County Sheriffs requested assistance with a suspected DUI on
a traffic check. The driver, Bradford Beach, was arrested, cited, and released
to a sober friend.
Stabbing at Hotel
Two makes were fighting at a hotel on Ocean view Blvd. One suffered a
stab wound to the arm. The other ran. They are both Sureno gang members. The
victim would not give up the perpetrator.
Dog Leashed
A dog was reported barking and found to be leashed to a house. The reporting
party said they’d give it food and water until the owner showed up. When the
resident was contacted, he said the dog got loose. He was advised of the codes
regarding leashing a dog to a permanent location.
Animal Hoarder Sentenced
The District Attorneys of the counties of Monterey, Fresno, Contra Costa, and
Tulare settled their civil case against animal hoarder Crystal Kisicki and St. Francis
All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary. The terms of the agreement provide for a statewide
permanent injunction and require Kisicki to comply with probation requirements from
her criminal case and pay the SPCA for Monterey County restitution as awarded by
the criminal court.
The defendants agreed to a permanent injunction that bars Kisicki from possessing or “rescuing” any animal, selling or adopting out animals, working or interacting
with animals, and adopting or procuring any animal from any animal shelter, pound,
pet store, individual, Craigslist or any other online site, or from any other source. The
permanent injunction also prohibits St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary
and Crystal Kisicki from starting up or working with another animal rescue group and
soliciting potential adopters or monetary donors. St. Francis All Creature Rescue and
Sanctuary and Crystal Kisicki are also required to remove any web pages and profiles
they used to solicit donations or display animals.
In June 2013, the SPCA for Monterey County responded to consumer complaints
and found St. Francis All Creature and Rescue Sanctuary and Crystal Kisicki offering
17 unhealthy, malnourished animals for adoption at local pet stores. The animals were
seized, and shortly thereafter the Central California SPCA seized 61 animals from
Kisicki’s rural property in Fresno County. The animals were found in poor condition,
without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. Further investigation revealed
that defendants had also conducted fraudulent adoption events in Contra Costa and
Tulare County and that Kisicki had a history of animal hoarding dating back to the
1990s. Animal cruelty charges were filed in Monterey County Superior Court and the
District Attorney Consumer Protection units of four counties where violations occurred
began putting together a civil unfair business practice and false advertising case against
Kisicki and her so-called “rescue group.”
In January 2014, Kisicki pled guilty to two counts of animal cruelty. She was
sentenced to three years of informal probation and 10 days in jail. The civil case was
filed in February 2014 in order to seek permanent restrictions on Kisicki’s contact with
animals and to make sure that St. Francis All Creature Rescue and Sanctuary would
stop defrauding consumers.

Monterey Library presents
on Functional Medicine
100 Years Ago in Pacific Grove talk
Join Dr. Margaret Gold, MD to learn about Functional Medicine on Monday, July
Jon Guthrie’s High Hats & Parasols
Main line
Special showing at Colonial Theater
This weekend, the Colonial Theater is inviting you to a special event. Three regular
films of exceptional quality will be screened. You will laugh and cry over scenes from
“Sad Sally,” “Tired Tire Treadwell,” and “The Chicken who laid an Egg,” followed by
an intermission. Then the Colonial will screen 8mm2 footage from the last track meet
of the season featuring the Pacific Grove team. The Colonial will also offer a round
robin of audience-presented skits, dialogues, songs, etc. Call in and register to be a
presenter. Plan now to attend. All seats are 25¢. Proceeds from the weekend shows
benefit the Pacific Grove High School track team.Get ready for war!
Instructions to mobilize lacking only a specific time have been issued by military headquarters in San Jose. All officers of the Fifth Cavalry, Companies B and M,
have been alerted. Only an invasion of Mexico by another South American country
is likely to stave off United States military action at this point. The local companies
have been issued instructions to get started packing. Big guns and other weapons are
being readied. Each of the 150-plus men will receive a physical examination before
leaving for the mobilization camp. Vaccinations against known contagious disease will
be given.1 For the men’s protection this army of reserves is to be blended into forces
of the regular army.
The orders received include everything but the final order to move, which is likely
coming. Colonel David Schmidt, Oakland, is in charge of the California invasion force.
Divining rods in use
Whether or not divining rods used in the ground search for gold, silver, and other
precocious actually work, nothing has been proven. Nevertheless divining rods continue
in wide-spread use. While questions about rods generally come from somewhere like
the United States Geological, this new correspondent is a person living in Modesto,
California. That individual claims that he works for the government, and has developed
a divining rod of hollow metal, like a super-size straw, the government will get a 50%
cut of anything received. The reply is that while ordinary, dip-needle equipment has
been useful in finding iron, nickel, and cobalt, no indicator of divining rods finding
gold or silver or other precious metals is on hand.
This editor asks why not? We should get busy proving or disproving such
capabilities. Anyone with an opinion or hard data is encouraged to contact the Review.
YWCA folder
From a handsome leather YMCA Asilomar folder just presented the local bunch
by its national office, the following information was extracted. The local YMCA girls
are authorized to play certain games in competition with girls from the Watsonville
YWCA. The PG bunch has just arranged for a railroad car to haul team members and
fans to Watsonville. The precise date and program have yet to be set. The Review will
publish a list of times and activities after it is released.
Good luck, Pacific Grove girls!

1 Eight millimeter film was also new.
2 Vaccinations were first developed in the 18th century by Edward Jenner. Widespread
vaccinations followed.
3 Note the difference in phone numbers. Efforts are afoot to centralize service into
one community-wide switching station.
4 Does that cost of $1.40 seem a bit inflated for 1914? These bulbs were provided by
the Thomas Edison company, which was eager to earn a quick and sizable profit.

Your Letters
Opinion
The Role of Compassion
in Politics
Casey Lucius, Ph.D.
In the past two years that I have served on the Pacific Grove City Council, I have made two decisions that I truly regret. The first one was when we
passed an ordinance outlawing sleeping in cars. At the time I justified the
decision as a public health and safety issue, but the decision has nagged at me
ever since, especially as the homeless population among us grows, services
remain insufficient, and no city in the region has come up with alternative
solutions.
The second decision I regret took place just last week in my capacity as
the representative of Pacific Grove on the FORA board. I joined with my
fellow board members to approve a rent increase for the Preston Park apartments. Preston Park is in Marina and does not house any of my constituents,
but I was nevertheless still concerned about the additional financial burden
we were placing on renters during these difficult times, even if the increase
was rather modest. There was a clear tension between compassion and my
fiduciary responsibility to FORA. The revenue from these increased rates
would support projects on the former Fort Ord, including upgrades to the
Preston Park units.
As soon as I voted, I immediately regretted the decision I had made. I
usually try not to allow sentimentality or my personal interests influence my
decisions as an elected representative, but the truth is, my personal experiences do inform the way I think, and they do shape my point of view on many
topics.This decision especially touched my heart because most of my life was
spent living in apartments and surviving paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to
figure out how to pay the next month’s rent. As a child, I remember moving
once from one apartment complex to another because the rent was raised
and my mom couldn’t afford the higher rent. I never want my decision to
put someone in that position. Instead, I hope to be more creative in finding
alternative solutions to our revenue shortfalls, rather than shifting the burden
to others.
I am convinced now more than ever, that there is not just room for
compassion in politics, but there is also a dire need for it. Those of us charged
with making decisions that impact the lives of others have an obligation to
put ourselves in their shoes, and to be guided by the kind of wisdom, creativity and compassion that will make us good stewards of our community’s
resources.
This is as true at the local level as we discuss water, unemployment,
homelessness, housing, and education, as it is at the state and national levels
as officials seek solutions to the ongoing border crisis and healthcare access.
It is all too easy to stand on principle, yet forget those who bear the burdens
we create when we cast our votes. We are all called to love and serve the least
among us, and as an elected official, I hope that we can rise to the challenge
by seeking a higher standard of compassion and creativity on behalf of our
communities and those in need.

On Wednesday, July 23, the SPCA for
Monterey County rescued 70 neglected
pets from a house in Greenfield.
SPCA Humane Officers responded
to a residence on the 300 block of Apple
Avenue in Greenfield after receiving a call
from the Greenfield Police Department
about a suspected hoarding situation.
The small house was filled with feces,
urine, and thousands of cockroaches. The
smell of ammonia from the urine was
overwhelming and posed a serious health
hazard. Adult Protective Services, Child
Protective Services and Monterey County
Department of Health are also involved
in the investigation. The house has been
declared uninhabitable.
The rescued pets, seven dogs and 63
cats and kittens, were dirty, matted, skinny,
severely infested with fleas, and suffering
from ear parasites and upper respiratory
infections. Many were confined to small
cages. One cat was locked in a cage without food, so weak and emaciated he was
unable to move. Sadly, due to lack of treatment, many of the illnesses were so severe
that after an examination by veterinarians,
26 pets had to be humanely euthanized to
end their extreme suffering.
Today, the surviving pets are undergo-

Ohlone, the native people of the Monterey area. From abalone to rockfish, everything was fished and utilized and the
Monterey Bay was a multi-cultural stew, made up of whalers from the Azores, squid fishermen from China, salmon
fishermen and abalone divers from Japan, and Sicilians fishing sardines in the “dark of the moon.” This entertaining
tour of Old Fisherman’s Wharf and the waterfront will take us back in time to explore the history of the Monterey
Wharf, early history of the Monterey waterfront, The Rumsien/Ohlone People--Monterey's first fishermen, the abalone
industry, whaling the bay and of course, the legendary sardine industry. Discover some of the people and cultures
of Monterey’s colorful past and hear fascinating stories about Old Fisherman’s Wharf and those who worked and
walked there. Learn more about the sardine and squid industry, too.

Peninsula Primary CareCardiology opens with
trusted local physicians
Peninsula Primary Care-Cardiology opened Tuesday as six cardiologists and a sleep specialist officially
became part of the growing primary and specialty care
practice established by Community Hospital Foundation.
Forming Peninsula Primary Care-Cardiology are
Dr. Nicholas Chee, Dr. Michael Galloway, Dr. Alexander Izmailov, Dr. Richard Kanak, Dr. Thomas Kehl, Dr.
Eugene Liu, and Dr. Pir Shah. The physicians previously
were members of the private practice Cardio-Pulmonary
Associates Medical Group Inc. The new practice remains
in the same location on Garden Court in Monterey and
retains the same hours and telephone number. As an added
service to patients, Community Hospital’s Tyler Heart
Institute on Tuesday opened a cardiac imaging center in
an adjoining office.
“We’re very excited to be working more closely with
this trusted and experienced group of physicians, who
have been providing care to our community for more
than 30 years,” says Dr. Steven Packer, president/CEO
of Community Hospital. “They bring a range of specialization, including in electrophysiology, interventional
cardiology, non-invasive cardiology, cardiac imaging,
and sleep medicine.”
Community Hospital’s parent company, Community
Hospital Foundation, opened the first office of Peninsula
Primary Care in 2009 in Carmel, followed two years later
by an office at the Peninsula Wellness Center complex
in Marina. A second Monterey office is expected to open
later this year at Carmel Hill Professional Center, near
Community Hospital.
PPC was established as a key part of Community
Hospital’s efforts to alleviate a shortage of primary care
physicians in the area. As the practice has grown, shortages in some medical specialties have become more
acute, prompting PPC to begin recruitment and retention
efforts directed at specialties, including neurology, urology, gynecology-obstetrics, and cardiology.
“Establishing and maintaining relationships with primary care doctors and specialists is key to achieving the
best health possible,” Packer says. “With the addition of
these six physicians to PPC, we can preserve the continuity of the excellent care they provide to our community.”
PPC-Cardiology is at 30 Garden Court in Monterey
and may be reached by calling 646-8570. Hours are 8:30
a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tyler Heart Institute’s cardiac imaging center is open from 7:45 a.m.-5
p.m. and may be reached at 622-8070.
ABOUT PENINSULA PRIMARY CARE
Peninsula Primary Care opened its first office in
Carmel in 2009, its second in Marina in 2011, and its
third in Monterey in 2014. A fourth office, also in Monterey, is expected to open in 2014. The centers have more
than 25 primary and specialty physicians and a nurse
practitioner, many of whom are accepting new patients.
Peninsula Primary Care is a subsidiary of Community
Hospital Foundation, the nonprofit parent company of
Community Hospital of the Monterey. More information
may be found at www.peninsulaprimarycare.org.

By Katie Shain
Playing to full houses, the now ‘seasoned’ Dale Thompson as Curly, attaining
some of his initial acting skills on the MPC
stage, is co-starring with Lori Schulman,
who plays Laurey. Both bring expert
choral expression, supporting the entire
production from start to finish with glowing repartée, verve, affection and charm.
Aunt Eller, as played by Katie Day,
claimed the stage and maintained all the
love the house could hold. While every
individual supporting cast character role
from the effectively frightful Judd Fry
(Morgan Vetter), Aido Annie (Megan
Root) aptly performed with Will Parker
(Peter Hoffman), and the Peddler Ali Hakim (Chris Deacon), with Pa Carnes; Clark
Brown, the Sheriff (Ike Skidmore) and
Gertie Cummings (Corinne Walker) bring
howling, sensitive, comedy with every
nuanced scene. And the dream sequence
must be mentioned Dream Laurey; Nicole
West and Dream Curly; David Buckley.
Newcomers to the theatrical stage,
like “triple-threat” dancer, singer, actor
Kevin Jasper as Slim, graced the stage
with impeccable presence and awareness,
adding balance, gesture, character and
true cowboy form to the show, with an
added spark from Fred, played by Douglas
Johnson.
Sara Horn always manages to brighten, enliven and define the fact that “there
are no small parts” with her love and
professional demeanor, along with her
innate talent and drive for her exquisite
and defined stage contributions.
As has become the standard, sets,
costumes, choreography, sound and lights
are all well above par. The musical was
directed by MPC Department Chairman,
Gary Bolen.
Of course it’s ultimately up to the
college board to decide if this production
is too professional or not for the campus,
but busloads of students have been filling
the seats and this is closing weekend, so
if you hold an interest in fine theater arts,
get your tickets, if you can.
More than tickets are on sale to help
support this and future MPC productions; raffle tickets are being offered for a
full- amenity stay at renowned Big Sur’s
Ventana Inn.

5.0, 7.2 and 9.2 miles. In addition, the
relay will be limited to 200 total teams.
Registration will open August 1.
“After looking at all operational and
safety aspects of the relay, we decided to
combine the former legs four and five,”
said Doug Thurston, race director. “This,
combined with a slightly-lower team
entry limit, will improve the participant
experience and reduce crowding and the
number of buses on the course during
the race.”
The progressive distances allow
choices for both experienced and newer
runners who, while not ready for one
of the event’s longer races, still want to
experience the beautiful and challenging ocean-front course on Highway 1
between Big Sur and Carmel.
Leg 1 of the marathon relay begins in
Big Sur and travels through the redwood
forest for 4.2 miles. Leg 2 includes a 5
mile stretch of coastal views and ranch
lands. Leg 3, perhaps the most challenging, includes the 2-mile ascent to
Hurricane Point, crosses Bixby Bridge,
and continues past the iconic pianist on
the baby grand piano near the marathon’s
halfway mark. The fourth and longest
leg of 9.2 miles, now a combination of
the previous legs 4 and 5, includes more
scenic coastline views, rolling hills, three
miles through the Carmel Highlands, and
enthusiastic crowds at the race finish.
Race organizers are also making
changes to improve relay exchange logistics including gear check and runner
refreshments. In addition, an improved
team member bib assignment process will
help the marathon’s public safety team
better track runners on course.
“These changes will help us provide
a safer event for all participants, volunteers, and the community,” Thurston said.
Entry fee for the Relay is $310, or
$77.50 per person, through December
31, 2014. The relay entry fee increases to
$340 on January 1, 2015 if there are still
team spots available. Registration opens
at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, August
1 at www.bsim.org.

Animal Tales and
Other Random Thoughts
After a Summer
It has been a wonderful couple of months for us when it comes to family. Because
everyone is scattered and/or very busy, visits are rare. The Patricks had been up a couple
of times. It has been two years since we had the pleasure of being with our little granddaughters, Cora and Lydia, and their mother, Jennie. We really didn’t know what to
expect. When children are so young they can forget people they knew. We don’t Skype
nor do face time, but I believe that needs to change. There was no need to worry. They
arrived around noon on July 9 and rushed in with hugs and enthusiasm, which warmed
the hearts of these old folk. The gathering was prompted by a wedding reception the following Sunday at Fern Cottage in Kennedy Regional Park, El Sobrante, just
north of Oakland. Megan and Justin had married in December. They woke up one
morning, looked at each other and said “let’s get hitched today.” after a trip to City Hall,
they alerted the family that the deed was done. We were all delighted having had the
pleasure of getting to know the bride. Both are artists and have excellent jobs. They
are charming, talented, wonderful young people. After long deliberation the site and
type of event were chosen. It is the first of what will hopefully evolve into a family
reunion from time to time. There were many things that Jennie wanted to do in the few
days they were on the Peninsula, which was approximately 48 hours. I decided that
the only way those who wanted to see the girls would be able to do this was to gather
them together for a casual supper the first evening they were here. Obviously I could
not leave the house, so John went off with them to play tourist. They went to the wharf,
the First Theater and the Coast Guard Pier to look at the sea lions congregating on the
boards. They arrived home, tired but happy with gifts for all. The early evening supper
went off with a few hitches, a planned dessert fell through, but John saved the day with
Hagen Das ice cream bars he had in the freezer.
The next day was my day to travel. We drove out to Carmel Valley to visit Jennie’s long time and close friends Amy and Mike Bullas whom she had introduced years
ago when she and Mike had an art show in Los Angeles. The house is a wooden cabin
hanging over the mountain with a view that won’t stop. There are ducks in the yard
and below is a cage of goats, one of the animals is a baby whose mother rejected her
and the Bullas’ must nurse with a bottle every three hours. I sat on the porch soaking
in the beauty and holding the little creature while I gave her the food. It was really
glorious. On the way home we stopped to visit Lydia Criley then headed back to the
house for an early supper and movie, “Frozen”, which I had never seen. The next day
we hit the Treasure Shop, visited Becky Flavin, after which the visitors left for the city.
Sue and Rod Dewar accompanied us on our trip to the Bay Area. We stayed at a
Sheraton Hotel in Emeryville and Saturday night visited our past by eating at Trader
Vic’s. Sunday was the reception. We had no idea what to expect but were pleasantly
surprised. Ellen and Shawn with Will and Joe had come up from Los Angeles and
were heavily involved in all of the cooking which was vegetarian and delicious. It was
peaceful and beautiful. My former husband, with his wife Lois, was there and it was
great seeing all of them. Needless to say, Jay and Denise, parents of the groom, Brother
Spencer and grandmother, Lu Hammond,were present. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to
Lois and getting to know her. At the end of the festivities we gathered for family photos.
As I looked around at this large brood I thought of the generations that have been lost
due to tragedies. In 1955 I was in a horrible automobile accident and could have, should
have, died the family photo would have been blank. I know we all think of this when
we dare reflect on incidents such as Sandy Hook and other catastrophes, to say nothing
of war. The Dewars and Rolands returned to the hotel, played dominoes for a few hours
then had an upscale dining experience at The Black Bear Diner across the street. Our
waitress was a tall, humorous African-American woman named Vivian who kept us in
stitches, urged us to return (probably not) and shared with us that her husband and she
spent anniversaries on the Monterey Peninsula, dining at their favorite restaurant, The
Sardine Factory. The week ended and on Monday we returned home, I must confess
that I was exhausted but thoroughly happy and looking forward to the next gathering.
It is time to remind you to mark your calendars for Fiesta del Perro, a celebration
of dogs, held annually at Robert Down School. This year it will be on September 27
with many exciting demonstrations, a children’s art show, judged by Will Bullas (who
has once again donated the art work), a pet parade, music, food and an assortment of
booths. We are looking for sponsors and participants. There will be an on line auction
in September featuring the painting and many other valuable items. Also avail able
are thermal mugs at Rabobank, Treasure Shop and Grand Avenue Flooring. They are
excellent as they keep beverages hot or cold, feature Will’s painting and donations will
go to the sponsoring agent Pacific Grove Rotary and Animal Friends Rescue Project
and Peace of Mind Dog Rescue. More about this later please contact me if you would

Moss Landing Whale Smorgie
The most humpback whales your correspondent has yet seen in one locale were
breeching and blowing off Moss Landing all week. A friend and I finally got out there
Saturday at dusk, then returned with binoculars on Sunday for a better look.
It was a whale smorgasbord out there, and the banquet was surprisingly close
to shore. An article in Friday’s Monterey Herald reported that at least 15 humpbacks
had been enjoying “an anchovy feast” just off the Moss Landing Harbor. One whale
reportedly swam right into the harbor mouth.
A terrific photo taken from a charter boat accompanied the story. It shows three
humpbacks – or their knobby heads, anyway – piercing the surface while gouts of
seawater gush from their mouths. The whales pictured were “lunge feeding,” the caption explains.
The photo piqued my interest on a couple of counts. First, it shows the whales
surfacing at the same moment and about as close together as three whales can get. With
their pointy snouts topping vastly pouched-out gullets, they look like hooded Franciscan
friars standing shoulder to shoulder in the ocean.
Even more remarkable was their proximity to shore. Behind the whales, the photo
shows people walking on the beach and seafood restaurants so close you can read the
signs. A pelican glides into the frame below the tip of one whale’s lunging jaw.
The Friday photo got me interested. Then on Saturday, a fellow lap swimmer
added some compelling personal details.
“We were diving out near Moss Landing the other morning,” he related. “The
whales were so thick we could smell their breath.”
“What did it smell like?”
He laughed. “Anchovies! They all had anchovy breath. There was an old-timer
with us on the boat. He told us Monterey used to smell like that all the time, only 10
times more so.”
With luck, the great anchovy feast is still going on. If so, a drive to Moss Landing
is highly recommended. Turn off at one of the beach exits, park, hike up the sand berm,
and gaze seaward. If the humpbacks are there, you should see synchronized blasts of
spray, glistening black backs, and the graceful curve of descending flukes.
On Sunday afternoon, pods of whales were visible all along the coast. Some were
far out in the bay; others so near shore you could count the blows. The timing of the
blows suggested the whales were working in concert. The sea would be flat for a time;
then a big group of whales would surface and exhale in unison blasts.
The blows shot into the air all at once, bringing a couple of images to mind. One
was a water show I saw once at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. To orchestral
accompaniment, spot-lit fountains of water rose and fell synchronously as if beckoned
to life by a sorcerer’s wand. It was like a scene from Disney’s “Fantasia.”
The simultaneous blasts also reminded me of battling man-of-war movies from
the 1950s. Wreathed in smoke and belching flame, squadrons of French and English
frigates would blast each other with salvos of cannon fire. The first salvo would splash
down short of the target, raising 15 or 20 columns of spray. The whales looked like that.
Why were they exhaling together? I know humpbacks “sing,” but I doubt that explains it. I’m thinking “lunge feeding” requires cetacean choreography. I can imagine
a circle of whales surrounding the anchovies, diving down beneath them, then driving
them to the surface for easy gulping. That’s how it looked from the beach, anyway.
Much closer to the action on Sunday were the whale watch vessels, fishing rigs
and charter sloops that tacked back and forth among the various humpback pods. The
fleet also included smaller boats too frail-looking to approach feeding whales.
“Check out that little Zodiac,” I said, handing off the binoculars. “They get
any closer, they’ll get flipped.”
“Or be overcome by anchovy breath.”
Also very close to the smorgie were countless sea birds that formed a whirling,
clattering, frenzied cloud over the scene. Flying low over the water, the birds were so
numerous and thick they looked like flowing corpuscles. At intervals, pelicans would
wheel up out of the avian cyclone to splash-bomb into the feeding whale vortex.
As the afternoon waned, the feeding pods grew fewer and farther between, and
several charter boats peeled off to return to their harbors. One last big group of humpbacks surrounded a signal buoy just seaward of the harbor mouth.
“The anchovies must like that buoy,” my friend said.
I trained the binoculars on the buoy as whales spouted, rolled, lunged, breeched
and dove all around it. “That would be the place to watch from,” I mused. “But how
do we get out there?”
“I’ll call Ishmael.”

Press Release; A Book of Fiction
INTERNATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL AGENCY:
CARBON DATING
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND…… Carbon dating has proven to be the most accurate
method of determining the age of archaeological findings. Recent events, however,
have cast doubt on the reliability of the carbon dating technique.
Last year, an agency member tested a metal dish excavated near Manila. The
carbon dating test indicated the dish was 2,100 years old. Since the dish bore Japanese
markings, we were forced to revise our entire timetable of events regarding the history
and development of the Philippine Islands.
Several months ago, while the dish was on display in a Philippine museum, a
Japanese tourist recognized the design and identified the dish as a World War II Japanese mess kit.
In another unrelated incident, one of our members unearthed a skeleton from
beneath a New Jersey garbage dump. Although obviously not human, the bones bore
a strong physical resemblance to previously discovered Neanderthal men. Measurements of the uniquely shaped cranium and extraordinary arm length further buoyed
our hopes that we had uncovered a major archaeological find. The ultimate test was
carbon dating. You can imagine our euphoria when carbon dating placed the age of
the bones within the Neanderthal period.
Unfortunately, the New Jersey coroner’s office later identified the bones as those
of a union labor leader who mysteriously vanished in 1954.
At this time, we are unsure if the carbon dating technique itself is invalid, or if
the mistakes were caused by unqualified technicians performing the tests. Carbon
dating has been used successfully (at least we think it has) for many years. Should
the technique be proven invalid, archaeologists will have to carefully examine and
possibly revise currently accepted theories regarding the history and development of
the entire human race.

Move over Flat Stanley, the Red Chair is the Newest Travel Icon
Where travelers once held photos of
Flat Stanley in unusual places, photographers now shoot photos of a humble red
chair. Long considered simply a place to
rest one’s buttocks, the lowly wooden
chair has been elevated to celebrity status,
and is being welcomed at inns and B&B
throughout America. It’s all part of a consciousness raising experiment among innkeepers. Over July 15-18, the chair made
its way to Monterey and the Jabberwock
Inn. That explains why innkeepers Lauren
and Suzanne Weichert were shooting images of the Red Chair at the Monterey Bay
Aquarium, Lovers Point in Pacific Grove,
Cannery Row, and Fisherman’s Wharf, as
well as the Jabberwock Inn.
It all started in winter 2012 with a
single image. Woods Hole Inn innkeeper
Beth Colt of New York state posted a picture on Facebook of her simple red chair
perched on the ice behind her house and
watched her page light up with “likes.”
The picture was shared on the Facebook
page of Julie Ann Cromer, a photographer
from Santa Barbara, who was inspired
by the image to visit the Woods Hole Inn
and took an amazing second photo of the
chair on a local beach. This inspired Colt
to share the chair with other innkeepers,
sending it on a journey through towns and
villages throughout Cape Cod last spring
and then across the six New England states
last fall and winter. As innkeepers all over
New England were inspired by the chair,
it has taken on a personality of its own.
“Now it’s time for the chair to branch
out,” said Beth Colt. “Innkeepers across
the country are clamoring to host the
chair, so it’s time to send it coast-to-coast
in every corner of America the Beautiful.
There would be no Red Chair without the
generosity of innkeepers and B&Bs. It’s a
barn-raising of sorts; the sharing of a piece
of Americana,” concluded Colt.
Who is ‘Flat Stanley?’
If you don’t have grade-school
aged children, you may not be aware
of the Flat Stanley Project.
“Flat Stanley Lambchop” is a
fictional character, created in 1924. He
gets flattened by a bulletin board and in
that condition, finds that he can do some
pretty amazing things, including being
mailed all over the world.
In the mid-1990s, Flat Stanley
became a conduit for literacy as the
Flat Stanley Project took hold. Children
mailed their homemade Flat Stanley
and his log book to “pen pals” all over
the world, encouraging photos and log
entries. More than 50 countries have
participated so far.
Stories from the Red Chair’s travels
have been chronicled on blogs at each stop
throughout its journey. Look for tales of
the Red Chair’s travels the Jabberwock Inn
on (jabberwockinn.com). “Red,” as it has
become known, visited Vagabond’s House
Inn in Carmel from July 10-14. The Red
Chair went next to the Sand Rock Farm
Bed and Breakfast in Aptos.
For a compilation of these blogs, visit
www.redchairtravels.com/blog.html . For
a complete view of Red Chair photos,
visit www.redchairtravels.com and get
ready to be inspired. To learn more about
the Jabberwock Inn visit http://www.jabberwockinn.com/ or call (831)655-2946.
Flat Stanley visited Pacific Grove
a few years ago and, along with
meeting Thomas Jefferson at the
4th of July celebration, and being
photographed with then-Chief Darius
Engles, met this race fan at Laguna
Seca.

Dungeness Crab Shifts to a “Good Alternative”
Social Security
For People Who Have Worked in Both
Public and Private Sectors
We’ve reassessed the California Dungeness crab fishery as part of a larger review
of West Coast Dungeness crab fisheries. The resulting
“Good Alternative” recommendation is a change from
the previous “Best Choice” recommendation. The fishery hasn’t changed for the worse, rather the reassessment
includes new information about bycatch and uses our
new scoring criteria. Currently, there is no scientific
stock assessment for Dungeness crab, which makes it
difficult to say whether removing such large quantities
of crab from the population is sustainable. There are also
known gear interactions with endangered humpback
whales in California, Oregon and Washington. While these interactions are rare, their
impact is unknown.
USA Today recently ran an excellent article containing Social Security information for those who have worked in both the public and private sectors. This information bears repeating here since a large percentage of people on the Monterey Peninsula have worked as a civilian for DOD or another federal, state, or local agency
and have also worked in the private sector. At first blush, it would seem that these
public/private retirees might have the best of both worlds by being eligible to receive
a public pension as well as Social Security. However, under the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), you may not be eligible for all the Social Security benefits
you think are coming to you.
Before 1983, people who worked in both public and private jobs could collect a full pension when they retired, as well as Social Security benefits, as long as
they qualified. Benefits were calculated as though the employee had been a lowwage worker throughout his or her career. Not only were public employees able to
retire with a pension, but any additional work in which employees paid into Social

is that you had 30 years or more of “substantial” earnings. In order to obtain a 90%
exemption from the WEP, you will need that full 30 years; the percentage drops after
that. With 20 or fewer years of substantial earnings, the multiplier is only 40%.
The SSA’s Retirement Planner gives an indication of how this might work.
The maximum monthly reduction for someone reaching age 62 this year, with 20
or fewer years of substantial earnings, is $408.00. A few things affect this amount,
however. One is that the WEP will never be more than one-half of your non-Social

A Japanese Touch for Your Garden
When I was living in San Francisco,
one of my favorite haunts was the Japanese
Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. I loved
to escape the city sounds and smells, drink
tea, and watch the koi fish glide through
the ponds.
I was first introduced to the gardens as
a little girl. Holding the gloved hand of my
grandmother, we entered through massive,
red carved double doors into a magical
world of miniature trees and curvy roofed
buildings. I’ll forever remember looking
down at her from the arched wooden
bridge with perilous planks that were the
stairs. Grandma declined my invitation to
join me in the hand-over-hand crawl to the
top of the bridge and instead sat with grace
on a bumpy stone bench.
Those visual delights, which fascinated me as a child, are still eye-candy to
my adult self. The exotic orange and silver
koi hold special memories and the moss
covered stone lanterns are an inspiration in
my ceramic art. I continue to “stone hop”
on the jiggy-jaggy path that cuts through
one of the koi filled ponds.
Traditional Japanese gardens may be
as simple as a several well-tended plants in
a small entryway or as elaborate as meandering paths and tea houses on a multi-acre
estate designed with artificial hills and
valleys. The starkness of a predominately
sand and boulder Zen meditation garden
is by no means easy to tend, but it holds
a special place in defining Asian gardens.
Design elements these gardens have
in common are simple lines, interesting
year-round features, and imitating the
rhythm of nature. I’ve heard people say
that walking through an Asian garden is
like being in a three-dimensional painting.
Water
Even in times of drought, a small
stone or ceramic basin filled with water
will create a spot of tranquility. The wind
may ripple the surface creating slight
movement, and reflections of the sky can
add an ever-changing, interesting visual.
Birds and local cats will enjoy a quick
sip, though probably not at the same time.
Of course, a pond is lovely, but requires
regular maintenance. The addition of Koi
would be heaven, but in light of all the
raccoons, a plastic rubber ducky would
elicit livelier conversation than the skeletal
remains of a fish.
The use of sand raked in long, sweeping lines mimics the movement of water.
For obvious reasons, this feature is difficult to maintain. Especially if you’re a
cat owner.
Paths and Stepping Stones
Artfully arranged stones or pavers
instantly add an Asian feel to any garden.
By “artfully arranged,” I mean both visually pleasing and comfortable to walk
on or stone hop along. This may take
several attempts at moving the stones to
create a casual flow and to account for
the “negative space” between the edges.
I recently discovered that Japanese paths
were intentionally laid out in seemingly
haphazard patterns to prevent evil spirits
from traversing along them and into the
adjoining house or temple. However, I
believe that they are laid out so that one
can walk slowly along the paths and enjoy
the beauty of a garden.
Lanterns and Lighting
Nothing highlights a well thought-out
garden more than the addition of light.
The origin of lighting in the garden,
specifically the use of oil lamps, most
likely came from China in the 6th century
or from Korea at a later date. The first lanterns were bronze and were used primarily
to light paths to Buddhist temples and to
Shinto shrines. Hence, lanterns became a
symbol of spiritual enlightenment.
Japanese gardens have stone, metal,
or ceramic lanterns that may be used emit
a quiet evening glow. Their designs may
reflect the simple, organic nature of a rock
or a more elaborate structure that evokes
a large structure. They can be short and

squat or placed on a tall pedestal.
As with most things Japanese, there
are many different types of lanterns -some with whimsical designs. The Snow
Viewing lantern (yukimi doro) has three
legs with one leg on land and the other
two in water. The broad roof of this lantern captures large amounts of snow and
is particularly attractive in the winter. If
you are lucky enough to have fireflies
in your garden, the Water Firefly lantern
(mizubotaru) invites the little critters for
viewing. Around here, however, moths are
the most likely to visit.
And of course, there are hanging
lanterns…
Traditional Plants
Evergreen bushes and trees that
have interesting foliage and can be
shaped in eye pleasing ways are key to
a well-balanced Japanese garden. Many
plants also have symbolic references to
landscapes throughout the country. The
Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtuse),
for instance, represents “deep mountains.”
There are many cultivars of this traditionally green leafed plant including Nana
Lutea, which is compact and has lovely
golden yellow foliage. There are also many
dwarf hinoki varieties that are suitable for
small gardens.
Japanese black pine (Pinus thungergii) is a classic with long needles and an
interesting white sheath at the base. The
bark begins as a shade of grey and matures
to a rich black tone as it matures. Black
pines are also resistant to salt, making it
an ideal plant to grow on the coast.
The elegant azalea (genus Rhododendron) is a flowering shrub and pares
nicely with conifers. There are over 10,000
different cultivars to choose from with a
complete spectrum of colors.
Deciduous plants, including fruit
trees, are a common feature in an Asian
garden. Plant them not only for fall color
but also for interesting or unusual bark and
branching structures. The Ginkgo (Ginkgo
biloba) is an Old World tree that has an
uncommon leaf shape and is striking in
the autumn. Different species of flowering
cherry (Prunus spp.) fit the bill with the
added bonus of stunning flowers in the
spring. One of my personal favorites is the
Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttalli). This
species of tree is native to California and,
like the flowering cherry, has an abundance
of blooms in the spring. An added bonus is
the colorful bark that appears in the winter.
There are many interesting species of
maple trees (Acer palmatum) available,
and maples are a must in a traditional
garden layout. Unusual leaf structure,
fall and spring foliage color, and elegant
branching are all attributes of these trees.
The best time to purchase a maple is in the
fall. One out of ten plants has the whopper
color appeal.
What Japanese garden would not
include bamboo? There are many varieties, including dwarf bamboo for ground
cover and towering species for privacy.
(See Diggin’ It September 2013 for more
about bamboo).
Finally, Japanese iris is a broad term
that actually includes three different species. The Hanashobu thrives with their feet
in the water while the Aame variety prefers dry land (both pair nicely with stone
lanterns). The Kakitsubata tolerates both
water and dry land. Most of these irises
have showy flowers that bloom late spring
and last through mid-summer.
There are many other ways to touch
your garden with a Japanese flair. Buddha
statues, bamboo fencing, and graceful
Kanji script images are just a few more.
I’d avoid death defying arch bridges;
however, a strong stone bench for a special
grandmother would still be a nice addition.
Just saying.

The ABC’s of Legal Titles
Do You Own Inches of Land
in the Yukon?
Kyle A. Krasa, Esq.
Travis H. Long, CPA
Planning for
Each Generation
Travis on Taxes
When I was growing up, I remember my Dad once telling me that he owned eight
square inches of land in Canada. He said he got the land as a promotion when buying
cereal as a young boy. At the time, I thought that was kind of cool, and just accepted
it at face value.
As I look back on that now from my perspective as an accountant, dealing with all
kinds of financial related issues on a daily basis, a lot more questions come to mind. For instance, where are the deeds to the property, and how would we find the right recorder’s office to get copies of the deeds if needed? Were the deeds ever even recorded? Was it a fee simple interest? Did he have mineral rights? Eight square inches may
be just enough to drill a very small oil well! Or maybe there is gold!
How would that impact his retirement planning? What about real estate taxes? Typically land requires the annual or semi-annual payment of property taxes or the
land is taken back or sold to settle the outstanding debt if unpaid. Are there any laws
regarding foreign ownership of land or any new requirements to look into regarding
foreign asset holdings?
Could we lease the land, and what would the tax impacts be? Should my Dad have
included it in his estate planning so that loose ends would not pop up at some point
which could result in title problems or perhaps probate? Would there be any liability
associated with this land, and should he have carried a general liability or perhaps an
umbrella insurance policy in case his eight inches contained a stone on which someone
could have tripped?!
What was his cost basis on these inches and how much profit would be recognized
if we sold it? All of these questions and more find their way to my door step for other
client issues. As an accountant, we often end up as the independent advisor - like the
hub in a wheel with spokes running out to the financial planner, investment advisor,
insurance agent, attorney, banker, etc. Almost every profession leads back to taxes
and tax planning in some way.
In my Dad’s case, I found we did not have any real concerns, but there is a fantastic story to go along these inches of land which you can read all about at: http://
www.yukoninfo.com/dawson-city-yukon/the-klondike-big-inch/. The gist of the story
is that this was a marketing plan in 1955 developed by Bruce Baker to get children to
buy Quaker Oats Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.
Baker decided to tie-in a popular radio and television show which Quaker Oats
sponsored, “Sergeant Preston of the Yukon” by offering children the opportunity to own
one square inch of land in the Yukon in Canada if they bought cereal. The attorneys
thought the idea was crazy, but Baker persisted and even flew to the Yukon and secured
a 19.11 acre parcel to be divided up into 21 million one-square-inch parcels. The company eventually agreed to the idea and thus began their most successful campaign ever. Cereal boxes flew off the shelves as deeds were printed and inserted into each box, and
every one inch parcel was given away. They did a second campaign and Baker had four
tons of Yukon riverbed sand sifted and packaged into tiny promotional pieces as well.
As the years rolled on, the inquiries about these hard-earned plots of land kept
coming in by owners that wanted to know more about their plot of land, or its worth,
and also by estate planning attorneys that were trying to figure out what to do with
these deeds! One child was said to have sent four toothpicks and a string and asked
the Quaker Oats company to put a fence up around his property! One person collected
over 10,000 of these from people around the country and asked Quaker Oats to pick

Initials listed after a professional’s name often designate accomplishment, title, and
authority. While the use of “M.D.” for doctors and “Ph.D.” for professors is widely
understood, the initials commonly present after attorneys’ names are less known. Below
is list of the most common legal titles and their meanings. J.D.
“J.D.” refers to “Juris Doctor,” “Doctor of Law,” or “Doctor of Jurisprudence.” It
means “Teacher of Law” or “Teacher of Legal Knowledge” in Latin and is the degree
conferred upon persons who have completed law school in the United States and thus
earned a law degree.
Most law schools require students to have a Bachelor’s degree to gain admittance
and full-time law school in the United States is generally three years. Earning a “J.D.” does not confer the right to practice law. Instead, each state administers its own admission guidelines including the requirement to pass a Bar Exam. When you see “J.D.” after a person’s name, that person has graduated from law school
but is not necessarily licensed to practice law. LL.M
“LL.M” refers to a “Masters in the Letters of Law.” It is an advanced law degree
after someone completes a “J.D.” An “LL.M” is often pursued by students who are
interested in gaining expertise in a concentrated area of the law. Some “LL.M” degrees
are available for foreign lawyers who wish to learn about the host country’s legal system
(referred to as a “Comparative Law Degree”). Esq.
“Esq.” often succeeds an attorney’s name. “Esq.” is an abbreviation for “Esquire.” Originally a term of social status in England (above a “gentleman” and below
a “knight”), in the United States it is customarily used to designate a person licensed
to practice law. Although “Esq.” is not an official title, because it is often associated
with persons who are licensed to practice law, most state laws prevent non-lawyers
from using the designation. In California, in order to practice law and thus be allowed to use the unofficial
“Esq.” designation, a person must pass a three-day, 18-hour written Bar Exam as well
as pass a separate ethics exam and meet several other qualifications.
CLS
California, as well as many other states, has a program to certify its practicing attorneys as “Certified Legal Specialists” in one or more of eleven different practice areas. In order to become a Certified Legal Specialist (“CLS”), a California attorney must have
been practicing in the area of specialty for a minimum of five years, be an active member
of the California Bar, demonstrate performance in a number of designated tasks in the
particular field of specialization, demonstrate education performance in the particular
field of specialization, pass a written 6.5-hour specialist exam, and demonstrate proficiency in the particular field of specialization through independent inquiry and review. Kyle A. Krasa, B.A., J.D., Esq., CLS earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature from Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont, earned his Juris
Doctor degree from UC Davis School of Law, is a licensed attorney by the State Bar of
California, and is Certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization
as a Certified Legal Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, & Probate Law.

out a quiet place for him along a lake or river, if possible!
The reality of what happened is that the company that was created to handle all the
deeds - The Klondike Big Inch Company, Inc. realized it would be way to expensive to
record all the deeds in each child’s name, so with the opinion of a Canadian attorney
they decided to send the deeds out and never have them officially registered. The
Klondike Big Inch Company, Inc. did not pay the $37.20 property tax bill in 1965, so
the land reverted back to the Canadian government. The company then shut its doors.
Still, to this day, however, nearly 65 years later, Canada and Quaker Oats receive
hundreds of communications each year regarding the land!
