Got A Wind Chime? That’s A $435 Fine In Pacific Grove

Posted on by

When you have a so called artist living across the street.

“It’s a shock,” Phil Allen said. “I’ll certainly fight this. With all the things the courts have to worry about today, I wouldn’t think this would even be worth mentioning.”

But Richmond Woodson, who lives across the street from the offending chime, said the constant ringing is like living across the street from an ice cream truck. Woodson, a 54-year-old art teacher who has lived in his house since 2000, signed a complaint about the noise, which forced police to cite the Allens.

Weeks later, about 4 a.m., Woodson decided he was fed up with the wind chime. He walked across the street and taped the chimes together.

“I apologized for the tape,” Woodson said.

Woodson admits to trespass and vandalism. Should be arrested for same. Kook also admits to patrolling the block to find other noises and turning them in.

This is not ‘the’ wind chime from the article

Cannery Row History Signs Ripped Off

Posted on by

Just like poachers after abalone, them signs pry right off.

“We don’t know,” Adams said about the thieves “if they are collectors or malicious vandals.”

 

The Business Improvement District, in partnership with the city, the Cannery Row Business Association, Monterey Bay Aquarium and InterContinental The Clement Monterey hotel, has put up informational plaques, murals and ceramic recreations of the row’s cannery labels of fish that were important to Monterey Bay’s seafood industry. A series of banners depicts historic row figures and selected quotes from Steinbeck’s works.

 

The Clement hotel built a walkway that gives pedestrians free access to the ocean side of the hotel and the rear of the Pacific Biological Laboratory, where Ed Ricketts plied his trade as a collector of marine specimens. Tiles showing each of the canneries’ labels have been placed in sidewalks where the canneries once operated.

Deborah King Sent To Mental Hospital Instead Of Court

The young father was picking up his son, Jacob, in front of Pacific Grove Middle School Sept. 2, 2008, when Deborah King allegedly ran him down in her BMW SUV. Though she was arrested and later charged with murder and gross vehicular manslaughter, King has yet to face a trial.

 

But that doesn’t sit well with Summer Coe, a good friend of the Woods family, who believes King — with five previous DUI convictions on her record — should pay for her fatal error.

 

“I am outraged that she has yet to face any charges,” Coe said. “It seems that she kind of got away with playing the victim card, where someone else might have been held accountable.”

Going to Patton State Hospital. Does not sound like a cakewalk..

L.A. Times 12/10/2008:

At least one psychiatrist at Patton said he believed conditions have worsened during the period of federal oversight, in part because of a sharp increase in demand for documentation that he says has left clinicians less time for patient care.

 

“Everyone is so fatigued doing paperwork,” said the psychiatrist, who asked not to be named out of fear it could jeopardize his job. “The assault rate has increased.”

Data posted on the website of the state Department of Mental Health show there have been recent increases in patient-on-patient aggression resulting in major injury as well as increases in the number of self-inflicted major injuries.

Book Lovers To Do “Whatever They Can” To Fund Library

Posted on by

Ask for more taxes!!

Wonder if they have a backup plan?

Liberry

A campaign committee in favor of Measure J, a parcel tax to support the Pacific Grove Public Library, was formed late Wednesday after a meeting at the Pacific Grove First United Methodist Church.

 

Measure J, which would levy a flat $96 tax on each parcel and $75 for each unit of a multi-family residential building, is expected to raise an estimated $630,000 annually from the city’s 6,000 parcels plus apartment units, said city Management and Budget Director Jim Becklenberg.

That alone wouldn’t be enough for 40 hours a week, Headly said.

Think that this added tax will benefit the library only? Wrong. The city will be able to draw money away from the library to fund other things. Say forinstance, sustainable seagull repellent for the roof of city hall.

Monterey Hear-Old, 8/25

“It is a way to set the library up with a base outside of the city’s general fund,” Becklenberg said.

 

Passage of the measure, he said, could secure the future of the library and provide general fund savings of approximately $400,000 toward the $2 million city budget deficit, since Measure J funding would allow the city to use its regular library budget for other purposes until the budget can be balanced.

Jersey Swimmer Attempts To Swim Across Bay

Posted on by

Let’s give it up to the jellyfish for chasing the yankee away.

A New Jersey man will attempt something on the Central Coast that only one other person is known to have accomplished — a solo swim across Monterey Bay.

 

On Thursday, Bruckner Chase will jump in the water near the Santa Cruz wharf at 4 a.m. and try to swim roughly 25 miles to Lover’s Point in Pacific Grove.

 

Chase will have to overcome cold water, whales, jelly fish and sharks if he hopes to complete the swim.

FAIL 8/21

A little after 10 a.m. — more than six hours into his swim — Chase said cold water and jellyfish, which were biting him in the face and arms, got the best of his body and he knew it was time to stop.


Load of BS 8/23 Bruckner Chase appears to be one of the sustainability kooks. Real glad he failed now. Learn about your freedoms being taken away under the cloak of “Sustainability”.
