Tree Cutting Could Have Caused Monarch Decline

Butterfly Tree Stump

With our city on the job, the best they can come up with is spending about $80,000 on a shuttle bus to bring butterflies over from Santa Cruz.

A thinning canopy of trees may be a factor in the reduced numbers of monarch butterflies visiting the Pacific Grove sanctuary, two scientists told the City Council last week.

The council voted unanimously to direct City Manager Thomas Frutchey to convene a meeting of interested parties on the butterfly issue, engage Weiss to update and expand the sanctuary management plan, and direct the city’s Natural Resources Commission to oversee the plan update. No meeting date has been set.

Five Pacific Grove teenagers were injured, three of them seriously, after the stolen car they were riding in ran off the road in Skyline Forest early Sunday morning, police reported.

The 1996 Toyota 4 Runner, driven by Aaron Corn, 18, was reported stolen out of Pacific Grove, according to Police Lt. Leslie Sonné, and alcohol is believed to have been involved in the crash.

Fat Chance. Could be competition for the Wine Walk (with art). Or Moammar can start a new silly event to draw people to P.G., Friday Night Lite-ups.

Retired Pacific Grove Police Chief Carl Miller termed medical marijuana “snake oil.” He said the drug has been a factor in auto accidents and homicides in the city.

Pacific Grove already has “a serious drug problem in our schools,” he said, and opening a dispensary would send young people a message that marijuana use is harmless. He said it would draw customers from all over the county.

He said his experience as a police officer investigating drug use since medical marijuana was legalized showed most patient prescriptions “were self-certifications,” with doctors writing prescriptions based on patients’ demands and claims of health problems.

Tourist Trolley Funding Approved

Trolley Riders

The trolley would run between Monterey Bay Aquarium and Asilomar Conference Grounds, following a route that would include Ocean View Boulevard, Sunset Drive and Point Pinos Lighthouse and would return via Lighthouse and Central avenues.

Cost of the bus service is estimated at $60,000, with the city providing $15,000 from its golf fund and $5,000 from the lighthouse fund.

Council members liked the idea but questioned how the city could measure its success.

“We’d need it to generate $3 million worth of business to recover the $60,000 cost,” said Councilman Bill Kampe.

Think P.G. Has It Bad? Tracy California Charges For 911 Calls

Keep the direct line in speed dial for emergencies, 831-647-7900

911 Is A Joke

Tracy residents will now have to pay every time they call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency.

But there are a couple of options. Residents can pay a $48 voluntary fee for the year which allows them to call 9-1-1 as many times as necessary.

Or, there’s the option of not signing up for the annual fee. Instead, they will be charged $300 if they make a call for help.

Jesse Crow

KSBW reports that Jesse Crow was arrested in a traffic stop in P.G. He’d been seeing Summer Donovan of P.G. He carries a medical marijuana card – a response given when popped for growing over 300 pot plants in a house in Prunetucky.

Crow’s first husband, Cody May, revealed new details to Central Coast News about the days leading up to his ex-wife’s disappearance. “She said she was trying to sever the ties,” explained May when questioned about the last time he spoke to Crow.

May said he spoke to her about a month ago. She told him she was going through a messy split with her husband Jesse Crow. “She had left him and was calling me again because every time she was with him I wouldn’t get a call, and when she wasn’t with him I would,” he added.

Jesse Crow has avoided all organized searches for his wife, as well as the media spotlight. Police, however, said he is cooperating with investigators.
