City Massacres Butterfly Trees, Butterflies A No Show

There you go again, messing up Pacific Grove for the sake of the tourists.

Butterfly Tree Stump

“There was a concern that the trimming may have discouraged monarchs from coming to the grove,” said P.G. City Manager Tom Frutchey. “It’s a good hypothesis, but we don’t know the answer to it yet.”

The eucalyptus, which often shed limbs, were trimmed for the safety of visitors to the monarch grove sanctuary, Frutchey said.

$40,000 Not Satisfactory Over Dog Death

Olga rejects settlement.

Though California doesn’t allow a person to financially recover for emotional distress from the death of an animal, Ospina’s attorney contends a jury will see that her need for treatment is a result of the attack that killed her dog.

Ospina’s pain and suffering alone is worth $70,000, according to the documents. The dog attack forced Ospina to miss about 16 days of work, which cost her $8,184, an amount characterized as a “fraction of her salary.”

Crash On 68, Get To Da Choppa!

Get To Da Choppa

A 51-year-old Pacific Grove man received major injuries after he lost control of his 2004 Ford Taurus and crashed into two trees on Highway 68 about 5:50 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

The driver was flown to San Jose Regional Medical Center.

Less than a mile away from CHOMP and the guy is airlifted to San Jose? And insurance cost goes up again.

There Are NIMBYs On My Block!

Canterbury cannot provide services to the homes it owns adjacent to the facility, but others on the block can hire gardeners, housekeepers, pizza delivery etc. What’s the difference?

I see CW providing jobs. Local jobs. And the NIMBYs on Spazier don’t approve.

Spazier St

Canterbury Woods owned a house at 612 Spazier for more than 30 years, according to its executive director, Norma Brambilla, and the resident did not receive services from the senior citizen complex.

After the occupant retired, Brambilla said, she was assured verbally by city officials that using the property for life-care senior housing was acceptable to the city and would not violate Canterbury Woods’ use permit or the city zoning ordinance, since the property was zoned for single-family residential use.

The Not In Big Sur Half Fast Marathon Closes Roads This Weekend

Homer Running

Some of the best-known streets in Monterey and Pacific Grove will be closed to traffic for two to four hours Saturday and Sunday mornings as runners participate in Big Sur Half Marathon events.

Saturday’s 3- and 5-kilometer runs affect a small section of Cannery Row from Prescott to David avenues in Monterey, plus Ocean View Boulevard in Pacific Grove as far as Sea Palm Avenue near Lovers Point. The affected areas will be closed to traffic from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m

Hope they clean up after themselves better than that triathlon did.

High Surf Advisory, What To Do? I Know, Let’s Go Fishing!

Lets go fishing off the coast in a 15 foot boat! Twenty foot high waves were crashing. Huh?

I sure hope these two get a full bill from the state for the cost of their stupidity.

Two fishermen were rescued Sunday morning after their boat capsized in rough waters off Asilomar Point.

One of the fishermen was injured as he was trying to get back to shore and was taken to a hospital; the other fisherman was treated on the scene.

Robert Down Trees Granted Visas To Stay

The trees can stay but the school board needs to be reduced by a seat or two.

Four recently planted apple trees at Robert Down Elementary School — which parents planted two weeks ago during a school cleanup day without prior approval — will be allowed to stay, the Pacific Grove Unified School District board decided.

The day after the semi-dwarf trees were planted, a district official ordered them removed because their placement hadn’t received a prior OK from administrators or the school board.

Agha Declares Holman Building All Used Up, Gets OK From Council

Owner of the dilapidated old red house by the post office once said the same thing. Wish I could drill my own well and not pay Cal Am. What about the sewer system, has that been addressed?

On Wednesday, he described the existing store building as “an old building at the end of its economic life.”

The structure Agha is proposing, they said, would provide 250 to 420 rooms, a restaurant and conference center, a basement parking garage, and a multi-story parking garage in the lot behind the Lighthouse Cinema movie theater on Lighthouse Avenue.

He is proposing to drill a well on the site and install a desalination system to provide water for the hotel and low-cost housing for employees.

Hundreds more shower heads, flushing toilets, traffic and tourists.
