City leaders and Public Works employ-ees enjoyed a satisfying
lunch on the new patio at Lovers Point on August 5. Mayor Pro Tem
Bill Kampe welcomed the group and acknowledged those who have
worked toward what he called, the summer of progress.
Joe and Paula Cavallaro, owners of The Grill, provided hot dogs,
popcorn and soft drinks for the group. Kampe thanked volunteer Bob
Blade and the PG Kiwanis Club for their help in retrofitting the
swim-ming pool drain to new safety standards, in cooperation with
Recreation Director Don Mothershead. Great to have the swimming
pool open this summer, said Kampe.
A long list of people and businesses received recognition for
their part in im-proving and maintaining Lovers Point Park, a
destination for people from all over the world:
City Planners Lynn Burgess, Sarah Hardgrave and Ashley
Hefner.
Mike Bellinger and Elke Ikeda for de-sign of park improvements,
including new fencing, the patio and an ADA-compliant path through
the park.
Otto Construction for their work in-stalling the
improvements.
City Engineer Sherman Low for sewer improvement designs.
Kent Munro of BMR Construction for coordinating between the city
and contractors.
City Finance staff Tony McFarlane and Cathy Krysyna for managing
grants, budget and payment duties.
City staff, builders, vendors celebrate Summer of Progress
Public Works for their efforts to assist with the work and
maintain the park.
Kampe announced the City will soon issue a building permit for
work to move forward at the former Old Bath House, and
groundbreaking will begin soon. The Old Bath House was built and
operated for 30 years by David Bindel. Since closing in November,
2005 the restaurant and its furnishings have been possessions of
the City, which owns the building. Ted and Cindy Walter, owners of
the very successful Passionfish restaurant, made a brief offer to
take over the Bath House but then withdrew. Soon after, developer
Robert Enea made a bid to oversee needed modifications to make the
place ADA-compliant.
Real progress is underway at the Old
Bath House, Kampe said, as he introduced Enea and designer Dave
Prew, along with restaurateur Jim Gilbert and his partner Kevin
Phillips, who have leased most of the building for use as a new
restaurant to be named, The Lovers Point Beach House.
In conclusion, Kampe said, The work we have seen over the summer
and the renewed energy that new partnerships and the swim-ming pool
represent are a harbinger of good things to come for Lovers Point
and Pacific Grove.

By Cameron Douglas
Our City Manager, Tom Frutchey, makes a weekly report to city
staff. Here are a few items of interest:
The Police Department has recently received three thank-you
letters from citizens. The most striking came from an elderly man
who was hit by a car on David Avenue in 2009 and sustained
life-threaten-
ing injuries. Now recovered, he sent a letter to Officer Eva
Rasul, who responded to the call. It was you saved me from death,
the man wrote. You are my benefactor.
Officers Buettler and DiMarco also received written praise from
people theyve helped.
Frutchey reminds us that fire hydrant testing will continue over
the next few months. This testing can cause temporary drops in
water pressure and discoloration of the water coming from the tap.
The dis-coloration may result from sediment in the pipes, which
will settle on its own. It is best to make sure the water is clear
before laun-dering clothes to prevent staining. Concerns about
water quality should be directed to Cal Am Water, Monterey Regional
Water Pol-
lution Control Agency, or the Monterey Fire Departments
Prevention Division.
Our fire department relies on a breathing support compressor to
fill air tanks for breath-ing in heavy smoke. It is also a critical
piece of equipment in the hyperbaric decompression chamber, where
diving accidents are treated. The compressor at the Pacific Grove
station needed replacement; and the first quote came in at $40,000.
Not happy with that, Captain Jim Brown and Engineer Frank Consiglio
took it on themselves to keep looking and found a suitable
replacement for just over $2,500.
The Streets Division of Public Works has been working diligently
to restore and re-paint crosswalks and other street markings as
schools re-open. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AND WATCH OUT FOR
CHILDREN.

Dear Readers: Please bear in mind that historical articles such
as High Hats & Parasols present our history good and bad in the
language and terminology used at the time. The writings contained
in High Hats are not our words. They are quoted from Pacific
Grove/Monterey publications from 100 years in the past. Our
journalistic predecessors held to the highest possible standards
for their day, as do we at Cedar Street Times. Please also note
that any items listed for sale in High Hats are done deals, and
while we would all love to see those prices again, people also
worked for a dollar a day back then. Thanks for your
understanding.

High Hats & Parasols
The News from 1911.
Chautauqua off to good startThis years Chautauqua is moving
right along. The Sabbath was a day full of in-
terest. In the morning, a crowded Love Feast was held, and this
good old-fashioned institution drew out some three hundred
testimonials written by people from all parts of the State in
preparation to attending this years events.
It is good to be here again, wrote many returning
participants.At 11 oclock, the bishop spoke, bringing the very
essence of Christianity to
Chautauqua and impressing upon all listeners the intense
importance of embracing Christianity, and also impressing on the
audience the compared value of Christianity rather than embracing
only other interests. The Bishop reminded all that Chautau-qua,
conceived in New York as a school for training Sunday teachers,
became an advocate of Christ even though it is now much more
eclectic than in its earliest days. In fact, the Bishop reminded
all of the resolution that while Chautauqua certainly would not
ignore religion, it would not confuse itself with a religious
camp.
The afternoon was given to a service dedicated to recognizing
and honoring mem-bers of the conference (and any wives or family
members) who might have passed away during the year. In the
evening, several deacons and elders were ordained. A rousing sermon
focused on the spirit of Daniel. A roaring chorus of hallelujahs
followed.
Monday presented no programs, but focused on the routine
business of Chautau-qua. Reports were heard and resolutions
presented, which were accepted or denied.
Taxes lower this yearThe California State Board of Equalization
has fixed the State tax as follows:
general fund, 29; school fund, 18.4; interest and sinking fund,
2; university fund, 1. The total state tax is 50.4. Last year the
state tax was 60.8, making for a reduction of 10.4 this year. The
total assessment of all counties upon which the tax is to be levied
is $1,107,106,327. I
Quarrels over travel costMany frequent travelers are objecting
to fare increases announced by Southern
Pacific. The rate to Chicago, now standing at $73, a $5
increase, is bemoaned as too stiff to be tolerated by many people
of limited means. Other fares are also being complained about.
This newspaper urges you to not wait until you arrive at the
depot before learn-ing of price increases. Remember, too, that
other customers are waiting to purchase tickets. Dont force them to
wait in line while you argue with the ticket agent over cost. Fare
increases are not the fault of this hapless individual; prices are
set by administrators much farther up the line. You might consider
writing a letter of displeasure to Southern Pacific headquarters.
If you are unhappy with the high-ups decisions, you might also
cancel your trip or go by motor vehicle or bus.
Cure for consumptionDr. Scott has announced a new way to treat
one of mans oldest and most feared
ailments. Scotts Emulsion, a blend of pure cod liver oil,
hypophosphite of lime, soda, and several secret ingredients shows
surprising propensity as a treatment for Consumption. On the market
only a short while, physicians world-wide have praised Scotts
Emulsion. There is little need to worry about side effects either.
Scotts Emulsion is as palatable as milk.
And there is more. Much more.This wonder drug also seems to work
with wasting diseases and chronic coughs.
Dr. Scott has explained that its effectiveness is a matter not
only of what is in the emulsion, it is also the portions used in
mixing.
Dr. Scott urges you to ask for Scotts Emulsion at your drug
store. You will find it much cheaper that a trip to the doctors
office. II
Snippets from around the area
Mary and Jane, two attractive Pagrovian young ladies, had gone
to the pavilion with two handsome young men, Jack and John, and
chaperones. The next day, talking things over while enjoying sodas
at the Grove drug store, said Mary to Jane: I had a terrible time
with Jack. He refused to stop talking. Said Jane to Mary: I had a

Authors Notes
I The Board of Equalization collects California state sales and
use tax, as well as fuel, alcohol, and tobacco taxes and fees that
provide revenue for state govern-ment.
II In 1911, cod liver oil was a cure-all. Children often had
spoonfuls forced down their throats for virtually any and all
ailments. Today, Cod liver oil is widely taken to ease the pain of
arthritis. It also has a positive effect on heart and bone. The
value of hypophosphite of lime was far less certain than that of
cod liver oil, but it was widely used to relieve the moods swings
and aches of menopause. This piece probably represents one of the
promo pieces paid for by a sponsor, but represented as being
news.
III The Ohio way referred to charging by the linear foot rather
than setting a fixed job price.
IV Yes, this is a joke. Humor was coming into vogue in both
magazines and news-papers. A little bit of something intended to
make readers laugh found itself inserted among other items without
announcement.

Lanterns of peaceThe Monterey chapter of the Womens
International League for Peace and Freedom held their an-
nual Peace Lantern Ceremony at Lovers Point on August 6. The
ceremony commemorates the atomic bombings of two Japanese cities,
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at the end of World War II. Hiroshima was
bombed on August 6, 1945.
The reverent ceremony featured readings and poems of tribute. At
nightfall, paper lanterns were launched on boats and rowed across
the cove, casting a warm glow on the water.

With enriched history and world showing art, how has the Pacific
Grove Art Center grown since its founding, and how has it continued
to be a great success? To answer this question, look no further
than Executive Director Jaqui Hope.
Since Jaqui joined the Pacific Grove Art Center it has been
busier than ever before. More classes are offered for young
students and seniors, as well as more exhibits including our new
workshop in Abilene, Texas, says one of the volunteers. (Ms. Hope
was not available for an interview due to a large number of new
exhibits opening.) New exhibits will include work by artists Cheryl
Kampe, Howard Perkins, Sunny Day, Sheila Delimont and Barbara
Kreitman. Their shows and exhibits will continue through September
1.
New classes have also opened up, which included youth art
workshops throughout the summer. They also offered different
activities for different groups of children. On Mondays, they
offered middle school art. It was called, The Middle School Art
Hang Out. On Wednesdays it was called, Wild Wednesdays for children
entering grades 2 through 5.
Adults can learn how to watercolor. They can join a drawing
class, learn visual journaling, or study acrylics. Its a lot of
fun, said one of the students. The instruc-tors are very hands on
and very patient to new artists. They make you feel comfortable,
and Im not afraid to show my work.
The Art Centers founders had a goal, and the goal was in the
three Es. The three Es represent Educate, Exhibit and Encourage,
all within the community. From talking to students and volunteers,
there isnt a doubt that Ms. Hope is the best person suited to
represent and keep the goals of the center alive.

Once in a while a bit of levity at a City Council meeting is a
good thing. Actually, it would be a good thing all the time, but
well take what we can get. At the recent meeting, it was Police
Chief Darius Engles who made us laugh, and it was about parking
something that usually isnt very funny.
Seems a citizen had brought a complaint about the fact that the
parking control officers have been marking the sides, or even the
tops of the tires of parked cars instead of the usual back of the
tire. The unhappy miscreants had been running out of their office
or shop and checking the back of their streetside tire, thinking
they had beat the rap and could occupy the space for more than the
al-lotted 90 minutes. Not noticing the mark on the top of the tire
they were incensed when they received a parking ticket.
Chief Engles response went something along the lines of this:
Pacific Grove Police officers are here to make sure the rules are
enforced, not to show you how not to get caught. General
laughter.
Many of us who have businesses downtown know the drill: Pull up
in front of your office, note the time, and when your 90 minutes is
nearly up, run outside to see if your tire has been marked. If it
has, jump in the car and move it forward a few spaces or back it
out and pull into a nearby space and do it all over it again.
Unproductive, to say the least, to be watching the clock and
running in and out all day. Not conducive to business, when your
customers and clients have to park two blocks away while your
personal car is perched in the parking space. It is rude to your
neighbors, some of whom depend on available parking near their
businesses for their customers, not for the business next door.
So get a clue, people. As Chief Engles reiterated after the
meet-ing, You do not have a constitutional right to a parking
space. Park outside the restricted zone and walk it will do you and
downtown businesses a world of good.

A few weeks ago I did a wine paired dinner at Pono Hawaiian
Grill in Santa Cruz. This was my first time pairing my wines with
Hawaiian food. What an amazing combination. We had such a great
time. We had Poke, Ahi tuna, pulled pork, teriyaki scallops, and
banana bread pudding. The dessert was a great pairing with the off
dry Riesling. Which is why I chose the bread pudding for this weeks
recipe.
Braddah Timmy, aka Timmy Hunt, is a local Maui boy that
relocated to the mainland over 10yrs ago. He has brought with him
the island culture, aloha spirit and especially the food in which
he grew up with.
He has a background in sushi and an even stronger one in the
hospitality industry. Timmy has opened the eyes and ears of people
in Santa Cruz area with his delicious island recipes that have been
passed on by his mother as well as other family members.
We all have to eat says Timmy. Thats really how this all got
started. And to eat good stuff, well thats the tricky part! But he
believes that we each posess a palate if you will. Over the course
of his life, Timmys palate has developed into a very nicely
balanced one and for over eight years he has been sharing that with
the people of Santa Cruz.
With a successful first restaurant of seven years, Timmy decided
it was time to really show what hes got and left to begin his own
restaurant, Pono Hawaiian Grill. Which features many new recipes
and a new twist...Hawaiian style sashimi or poke. A new concept
that Timmy brings using his sushi style background as well as his
gift of gab.
They feature over eight new recipes at his restaurant. All made
to order using fresh island ingredients like sashimi grade ahi, ogo
(island seaweed), sesame oil, chili pepper, island shoyu and much
much more!
Using his skills in the kitchen and behind the bar he brings you
the best of both worlds in food and hospitality. Good food and
great customer satisfaction is what they are all about. They bring
the aloha spirit in a special way.
So stop in and say hello, grab a poke bowl or a delicious
Hawaiian style wrap or teriyaki bowl... All made with aloha!
I hope you will be able to try this recipe or go see Timmy in
Santa Cruz. If you have suggestions or comments, please email me:
[email protected].

Rhonda M. Farrah, M.A.Volunteering with Hospice of
the Central Coast is a rewarding experience, for the volunteers
as well as the patients and families who rely on hospice
services.
People interested in volun-teering are invited to attend one of
two open houses, from 10 a.m. to noon or 2-4 p.m. on Wednesday,
August 31, at Westland House, 100 Barnet Segal Lane, Monterey.
Prospective volunteers will learn about the assistance hospice
pro-vides, including driving patients to and from medical
appointments, visiting patients, providing respite for caregivers,
leading groups, performing administrative duties, and providing
massage therapy. Volunteers are needed for those services and more;
Spanish-speak-ing volunteers are also needed.
Volunteers provide such a range of services that there are
op-portunities for everyone, no matter how much or how little time
they have to share, says Stella Ben-nett, RN, director of Westland
House and Hospice of the Central Coast, both part of Community
Hospital of the Monterey Penin-sula.
Volunteers receive train-ing before beginning their work with
patients and their families. Deadline for training applications is
September 9 and training begins October 3. For more information,

the Life they De-sired What I refer to as a life where you stop
settling for less and living in default modeA Life that actually

The session went something like thisand I invite to
Think of all the things you havent done YET. As you think about
those things, ask yourself, What has been stop-ping me?
The likelihood is that Self-Confidence is a major factor.
Self doubt, fear and lack of Self-Con-fidence can hold us back
from achieving our goals. But if we had Unstoppable Self-Confidence
we would naturally become aware that we can solve any problem and
handle any obstacle on our path to making our dreams become a
reality, as well as living the Life we Desire. Yes, and not to
mentionbut, I willa Life that makes Our Tail Wag!
When we program our Subconscious mind with an unshakable beliefa
KNOWLEDGE in OUR AUTHENTIC SELF .nothingthats NO thing is
impossible for us. We then take immediate, massive, repeated action
and never give up until we make our dreams come true.
One sure-fire way to high levels of self-confidence is to model
the habits, attitudes, skills and strategies of High
Self-Confidence people.
Think about that today -- pay atten-tion to who you would model
and really notice what their habits and attitudes are...
This is surely an important first step toward Unstoppable
Self-Confidence and the internal power to control your Life in

how fear can cause us to remain captive to those situations,
circumstances, and events that are anything but conducive to making
Our Tail Wagas well as how to Befriend fear. Yes, you heard

China Garden out

Process of changes cont
inues
By Cameron Douglas
After 27 years, the Chi
na Garden Restaurant ha
s ended their
occupancy at 100 Centra
l Avenue and is in the pro
cess of moving to
the American Tin Canne
ry. Meanwhile, the Pacifi
c Grove Chamber
of Commerce held a gro
und-breaking ceremon
y on Thursday for
their new Visitor Cente
r at the site vacated by
the restaurant.
The property has been o
wned since at least 1970
by the family
of T.A. Work; a promin
ent Monterey Peninsula
businessman who
dealt in large parcels of
real estate in the early 19
00s. Cedar Street
Times contacted a famil
y member who currently
has the property
in her name, and she de
clined to explain why C
hina Gardens lease
was not renewed. The re
staurant owner, Katy W
ang, has stated she
has never been late on
rent.
Moving a restaurant is
a huge undertaking. A
key part of a
process like this is wate
r use. Under District ru

Complaints by tenants about the upkeep of a Pacific Grove
mixed-use property have caught the attention of city and county
officials. The property, located at 301 Grand Avenue on the corner
of Laurel, is owned by Sam J. Matar. It has seen several businesses
come and go over the past few years. Residential and commercial
tenants state that they have seen no cooperation from the owners
representative, Rose Marie Coleman.
A large room on the ground floor facing Grand Avenue is
currently marked For Rent. Examination of the rental space during
recent rains showed a pool of water covering most of the floor. A
tangle of exposed electrical wires runs beneath the eaves. Thick
mold is visible on several interior surfaces.
Joseph Berry, a Section 8 tenant, and Larry Zeller reside in
units upstairs. Zeller had a business on the ground floor until
last fall, when conditions drove his business, which is primarily
making hair pieces for cancer patients, to another location,
causing him financial loss and distress.
Kurt Heisig Music is the most recent commercial renter. In
Heisig's music store, an area on the ceiling has begun to discolor,
exposing what was likely the owner/manager's effort to disguise
water damage with mere paint. He states that hes afraid to unpack
all of his antique display equipment for fear it will be
ruined.
Two ground-floor suites on the Laurel Avenue side are also
ad-vertised for rent, one of the most recent tenants being a
pre-school. Walls have caved in, wires are exposed, and there is a
reek of mold in the air inside. A wood stove, likely too close to
the walls to pass a fire inspection, sits without its flue. Black
mold is crawling up the walls in the bathroom and spots the beams
in the ceiling.
In the residential units upstairs, water flows along beams in
the tenants' bedrooms. They have rigged catchments to "keep from
being rained on."
Stairs are wobbly and the tenants have torn up carpeting which
was soaked with rain water to keep the floor underneath from
rotting.
City Building Official John Kuehl examined the premises with
another building inspector on Jan. 31. In a letter dated Feb. 3,
2011, Kuehl notified property owner Sam J. Matar that Kuehls office
has received multiple calls with concerns about the building and
that remediation was needed, setting deadlines.
Some issues raised in Kuehls letter to the property owner
are:Roof leaks, exterior dry rot, window leaks, no permanent
heat
source for residential units, various electrical hazards, no
operable smoke detectors, appearance of interior mold and
unsanitary condi-tions, plumbing leaks, fire hazard from a
dislodged flue.
A letter like this is not common, said Kuehl, adding that he has
seen maybe ten such situations in the past 4 years. Kuehl indicated
repairs had to be made by March 17, 2011 to avoid abatement by the
city attorney, and that final approvals had to be obtained by that
time.
The property owner could be subject to fines determined by a
hearing officer if they remain out of compliance. Should the
building be red-tagged the tenants would likely be referred to
Mediation of Monterey as it then becomes a civil matter.
On February 25, an attorney for the property owner contacted
John Kuehl with a request for a 30-day extension. Kuehl denied that
request on behalf of the City, and set a new deadline of March 11
for securing of permits.Also on or by that date, there is to be a
meeting on-site between Kuehl and a representative of the property
owner. At
City, tenants tag property owner over mold, leaks and more

Happy [new] Mothers DayFor the second year, students from York
School knitted hats for newborns at Natividad Medical Center and
delivered them just in time for Mothers Day. In 2009, students
knitted about 450 hats; this year they made 350, 146 by York
student Jesse Blalock alone. Said Pam Sanford, Service Learning
coordinator, We try to do projects where kids are learning, not
just providing manpower.

Last weekend a stellar performance was given by a select group
of poets, danc-ers, actors and musicians, all in the name of
supporting the arts at Pacific Grove High School. In the line-up
were four best-in-class: Kylie Batlin, Monterey County Po-etry Out
Loud winner from 2009; Morgan Brown, California state Poetry Out
Loud winner from 2010; Enoch Matsumura, First Chair Clarinet for
the state of California; and Robert Marchand, California state
Poetry Out Loud winner for 2011. As parents, faculty and
administrators filed in and took their seats, it was obvious from
the electricity in the air that the audi-ence was in for a rare
opportunity. Where else, for a mere $7 could one see so much talent
on one beautifully restored stage?They danced, they sang, they
pulled beautiful glissandos out of the well-worn grand piano. The
rafters rang with incom-parable harmonies and impeccable notes from
the brass band. They recited poetry that went straight to the
sternum and they gave dramatic performances worthy of a much larger
hall.The crew -- Matthew Bell and Katie Phillips on lighting, Chip
Dorey on sound, Emily Marien as stage manager -- never missed a
beat for two hours of magic.After the performance, as people waited
in the chill for their rides to drive up
and whisk them home, it was as if they were waiting in front of
Carnegia Hall for limou-sines, not a middle school in Pacific
Grove.Next year, many of this group will be gone, scattered to
colleges and universities across the state and the country. A few
are already poised to launch careers in the arts.
But there will be new talents following in their footsteps if
the funding holds out. And when Pacific Grove hears that theres
going to be an encore, theyd better get their tickets early.

Collaborating for the Arts
State Poetry Out Loud winner Robert Marchand chats via Skype
with the audience and advisor Larry Haggquist. Marchand was still
in Washington, DC for the competi-tion. Haggquist had challenged
last winners winner, Morgan Brown, that he would perform Coleridges
Kublai Khan in drag if she won. Well, she won. See page 7 for the
results. He made no such bet with Marchand.

For generations, the Monterey Bay has harbored some of the most
success-ful fishing activity in the world. Since it became part of
the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 1992, rules and laws
have been created to protect the diverse marine life and prevent
over-fishing.
In 2007, the California Department of
California State Marine Protected AreasMarine Sanctuary Zones,
Regulations
By Cameron Douglas
Fish & Game developed The Central Coast Marine Protected
Areas. These consist of 15 State Marine Conservation Areas (SMCAs)
and 13 State Marine Reserves (SMRs.)
In the SMCAs, regulations vary somewhat. The taking of all
living marine resources is prohibited, except for the rec-
reational take of finfish, and the specified, limited, hand
commercial harvesting of giant kelp and bull kelp.
In the SMRs, the taking of all living marine resources is
completely prohibited. Game wardens can cite for wayward fish-ing,
kelp grabbing or tide pool harvesting, with fines up to $1,000.
The Pacific Grove coastline is mapped into four sections: Two
SMRs, and two SMCAs (see illustration). Each zone has a name that
associates it with its location. Starting to the west, there is the
Asilomar SMR. Then the Pacific Grove Marine
Gardens SMCA; the Lovers Point SMR; and the Edward F. Ricketts
SMCA. On pa-per, the divisions are clear: standing on land, they
can be difficult to differentiate.
There are many differ-ent reserves and conserva-tion areas on
the Central Coast. A look through the Department of Fish and Game
website shows the rules for different regions overlap and are
somewhat complex.
The following websites contain valuable informa-tion:
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/
Here you will find all the current information from the
Department of Fish of Game concern-ing protected areas in the
Sanctuary.
http://mpa.gov/book-letchart_mbay/
This page will bring up a PDF from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which shows their latest chart
of protected areas in the Monterey Bay.
The DFG also has an office in Monterey. Call (831) 649-2870.
The SPCA Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center has rescued
five California Brown Pelicans with painful and life-threatening
embedded fish hooks in recent days. The SPCA reminds ev-
eryone who goes fishing t o s a f e l y discard of their hooks
and line to protect our native wild-life.
Birds a n d s e a m a m m a l s can be se-riously in-jured by
get-ting tangled
in fishing line or swallowing fish hooks, advises Beth
Brookhouser of the SPCA for Monterey County. If you see fishing
line on shores or in the water, please pick it up and discard it in
the trash.
If you see a Brown Pelican or any other wild animal in distress
please call the SPCA Wildlife Center at 831-373-2631 or call their
overnight emergency number at 831-646-5534.
The SPCA Wildlife Rescue and Re-
habilitation Center is the only full service wildlife
rehabilitation center serving Mon-terey County. The SPCA operates
under permits from the California Department of Fish and Game and
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Public support is
important to the agency, as they do not receive direct funding from
any federal, state or local government agency. Each year, The SPCA
Wildlife Center admits over 2,000 animals for treatment and
care.
