We are disappointed, of course, that The Weekly seems to adhere to the philosophy that if you can’t say something snarky about The Herald, don’t say anything at all.
There was no mention of The Herald’s stirring and impressive victory anywhere in The Weekly’s Thursday edition. Not a peep out of Squid. No back-handed dig from the Forum.
Is the tree ordinance enforcement by newcomer Thom “Belly” Akeman a sign of the true mission of the green and sustainable movement that Mayor Cort endorses: The end of personal property rights?
Appropriately designed to promote addition to the urban forest rather than deletion, it generally requires the planting of two replacement trees for each one removed, a provision that rankles the side that does not care for the ordinance.
Adding to the tensions, the ordinance-friendly side apparently took it upon itself to set out on inspection missions to determine to what extent the provisions were being honored or dishonored. Though it does not require any significant intrusion to determine whether a tree exists, that has set off loud allegations of trespass and warrantless search
Next time, just deliver them back to their owner. That makes a better statement.
As part of the settlement negotiated by retired Judge Harkjoon Paik, Mercurio agreed to pay Shake $6,870.
The agreement ends both civil and criminal actions against Mercurio, owner of Domenico’s on the Wharf. He was charged with petty theft for stealing the pagers, which were used to summon patrons of Shake’s Old Fisherman’s Grotto when their tables were ready.
www.pacificgrove.com points out – that’s $92,000 per person.
While demand for its services remains steady, the Gateway Center of Monterey County’s funding has gone down in recent months. Now, it has to fix an elevator that won’t go up.
State funding for the Pacific Grove facility for the developmentally disabled was cut by 3 percent in February . . .
. . . The Pacific Grove Gateway is home to 41 developmentally disabled people.
The center started the fiscal year with a $3.8 million budget, but with the February cut and declining donations, the center’s income for the year is projected at $3.3 million, Gateway President and CEO Kathleen Adamson said.
Mayor’s full attention:
Letters From The Editor.
Apologizing is meaningless
my personal policy of zero tolerance for name calling or put-downs and bullying has been violated. Apologizing is meaningless. And it is always helpful to learn how a public official really thinks.
I had Tam O’Shanter holler at my kids on the trail for straying to far from the dirt path.
My neighbor then told me a male cyclist actually hit her friend on the back of her head during one of their walks. One of the problems with only allowing cyclists on the paved portion is some think they are entitled to enforce the rule with extremely rude and dangerous behavior.
Hmmm. Spokes + walking stick . . .
On March 19, Mayor Cort sent an e-mail to his wife, Beth Cort — the organizer of Trees for PG, a volunteer effort founded and initially funded by the Cort family — referring to Booth’s letter, and asking her to “Please set this moron straight.”
Beth Cort forwarded Booth’s letter and one of her own in rebuttal to all six other members of the City Council, as well as interim City Manager Charlene Wiseman, in a message she said inadvertently included the “moron” remark.
Beth Cort said she didn’t notice the remark was in the forwarded e-mail when she sent it, adding that her husband has since apologized personally to Booth.
And add Beth Cort to the roster of offenders.
Jury selection begins Monday in the second trial of accused child molester David Stamm, the former owner of indoor batting and miniature golf facilities on the Peninsula.
Stamm testified at his first trial that the relationship with his accuser, now 24, was consensual and did not begin until after the boy turned 18.
Yah, all this is sustainable carbon neutral event. Sure.
For more than fifty years it’s been one of the largest music and arts festivals on the Central Coast. It all started with a parade down Pine Avenue Saturday morning; it features carnival rides, hundreds of entertainers, and food.
Special events include a dance competition that’s open to the public. Organizers have tabbed the Good Old Days as a carbon neutral event.
Was crowded – looks like more people in one day than in every farmers market ever held.
There was some real nice classic cars.
Food on a Stick (great name BTW. Is the line longer around 4:20?).
Your name on a a stick.
Some not-so-good old day prices for homes.
Belly Dancers!
And return of ‘climb the giant terd’.
Was the victim bleeding in the store’s office? Who puts a bed in an office? Now an employee of Ron’s Liquor is making damaging statements.
Police investigating the alleged rape of a woman at Ron’s Liquors in Pacific Grove found evidence of blood at the base of stairs leading to what the victim described as a “bachelor pad” above the store.
A liquor store employee told detectives he saw his boss, suspect Tom Pollacci, scrubbing the same area of the floor the morning after the alleged assault, according to court documents.
The worker said he peeked through the crack and saw Pollacci scrubbing the floor beneath the stairs. He said he heard his boss going up and down the stairs and said Pollacci told him not to talk to anybody about what he was doing.
