Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Any tobacco use actually.

“As a health care organization, we have a responsibility for maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all our employees, volunteers, patients and visitors,” she said. “We are also committed to promoting wellness. We’ve had a nonsmoking campus for a number of years, and this is a natural extension of that policy.”

Barker said studies by the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that workers who smoke, on average, miss 6.16 days of work a year because of illness, compared with 3.86 days for nonsmokers.

Water Bills Will Double

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

I say leave residential bills as is and TRIPLE the cost for hotels. Make the biggest wasters of water bear the cost.

With or without a proposed regional seawater desalination facility, rates for California American Water customers on the Peninsula will likely double in the next few years, a company executive said Tuesday.

Cal Am President Rob MacLean admitted it would cost more to provide water if a regional water project is built. But he said the cost would be even greater if a replacement source to the Carmel River is not developed, and the regional desalination facility is the most inexpensive alternative.

“The rates will go up,” MacLean said after a Tuesday news conference in Monterey.

Crackpot “Artist” Rewrites History At Mvsevm

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Someone sold the mvsevm a ball of sticks, called it art and left it in the garden. Looks like a giant dung beetle left it’s namesake in the garden.

Dung Beetle Art

The jewel in the crown of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History’s redesigned Native Plant Garden is a “spirit nest” created by Big Sur artist Jayson Fann. On Monday, March 29 a crew with a crane brought the spirit nest to be placed in the garden where it will be available for the public to view, and to dream in.
Fann, an artist who “favors art that serves a purpose,”

It does serve a purpose, kindling.

Less Government – Good Or Bad

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Can mean fewer busybodies like the Thom Ache-Man Tree Posse but it can also mean decisions made by a select few elitists, like golfers or house flippers.

A reorganization approved Wednesday night by the Pacific Grove City Council has reduced the number of the city’s boards, commissions and committees from 20 to 11.

The Once A Year Passionfish Green Hoax

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Lather, rinse, repeat. As long as this poof piece is reported every year, remember it’s about green in their wallets.

You should see the mountains of landfill-destined garbage and rubbish that this restaurant generates. Look at the grease encroaching the sidewalk leaking from their overflowing dumpster. See the other trash cans blocking the sidewalk. This “green” business practices is a farce.

Passionfish also holds the designation of being Monterey County’s first green certified restaurant. Cindy, the daughter of a fisherman, serves on the advisory council for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and is a member of the Seafood Choices Alliance. During the past few years, she has been inducted into the California Restaurant Association’s Hall of Fame, been named a “California Woman of the Year” by state Assemblyman John Laird, and been among 10 finalists for the International Seafood Champion’s Award.

Jesse Crow – Murder Suspect, Medical Marijuana Card Holder

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

and son of a medical marijuana dispensary owner/manager. Crow was picked up in P.G.

Jesse Crow

The first search warrant served on this peaceful medicine user is at KSBW.

When police arrived, Ryan’s family had blocked Jesse’s truck in the driveway and told police they believed Jesse had a history of abusing Ryan — abuse that had gone unreported — and they suggested Jesse had a drug operation because he didn’t have a job, but he seemed to have plenty of money.

The warrant also calls attention to Crow’s father — a physician — confirming that Dr. Crow runs a medical marijuana dispensary. The warrant said it operates out of Soledad.

Welcome to the best Pacific Grove & New Monterey news aggregation.

The source of the story, such as a newspaper or TV news site is in each post, either in the title or at the end. Since switching the website platform to WordPress, links in the titles do not work well in other features, so the source links are now repeated at the bottom of the story, right above the category entries. This is an ongoing project that is being edited by hand. When completed you will not see this note.

Some of the news sources (the Herald in particular) do not keep articles up on the web forever, so if the link does not work try that site's search.
