Church Opens New Store: Everything’s Free

There are many stores that charge just $1 for most items, but the metropolitan area now has a store where everything on the shelves is free.

The first Free Store opened Saturday in Lee’s Summit and operators said they hope the public will help them make an impact.

The store is filled with clothes, coats and toys of all sizes.

Members of Heaven’s Gate Gospel Church collected donations to stock the shelves and they hope they can serve at least 500 families this season.

Free Store In Lee’s Summit Closing

Officials said the funding they had to cover rent and utility expenses ends this month.

“It is sad to have to close, but it is awesome to know that we helped so many families during Christmas and during this extreme cold weather. We have helped so many families in the past three months with clothes, food, toys, and household items … everything. The need is great and the community has responded with items to be given away,” said Brenda Lang, one of the directors of the store.

Agha is the conservator…

Lillian Marie King, the colorful, longtime Pacific Grove woman who made headlines in 2005 after more than $2 million in gold and silver coins was stolen from her home near Asilomar State Beach, has died. She was 103.

According to court documents, King died Jan. 28 in her P.G. home, where she had been receiving round-the-clock help from caregivers.

Her attorneys and the conservator of her estate, Nader Agha, a Pacific Grove businessman who owns the Holman Building, said King had a youthful spirit despite her age. Even into her 100s, she was impressing those who cared for her.

Middle School Drop Off Point Unsafe?

Posted on by

It’s safe as long as there are no impaired drivers careening down the street.

J Ciccarelli’s report, delivered in November 2008, recommended the city consider moving the loading zone to Sinex or Fountain Avenue and prohibit parking or stopping on Forest outside of the school.

Pacific Grove Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Robin Blakely said Ciccarelli’s study looked only at pedestrian safety and sidewalks and was “quickly discredited” because it recommended moving the loading zone to Fountain Avenue, which is closed during school hours. Additionally, he said, there are already alternative drop-off and pick-up zones.

He said Forest Avenue in front of the school is “no more narrow” than other streets around the school and elsewhere in the city. If a city street is safe then drop-off should be safe, he said.

Joel Woods’ Son Testifies At Deborah King Trial

Tremendous strength, I’d say.

PGMS J Woods Flowers

Jake Woods gestured toward a self-drawn diagram of the accident scene to illustrate where his father was standing when he was hit, and where he landed after the collision. The diagram included sketches of both vehicles, his father and himself.

“I saw Dad look both ways as he went around the back of the truck to get in,” he said. “He was outside the driver-side door, with the door closed, and I heard a loud thump when the lady hit him. After he got hit, I didn’t really pay attention to the lady. He was in the gutter, bleeding all over the place. People were screaming and I didn’t know what to do.”

Jake described watching a school employee tend to his stricken father, and seeing teachers usher students toward the school cafeteria.

He said he went by himself to the school office, where he talked with teachers. He said he watched from the office as a tow truck pulled the car that had struck his father from the scene. He said he saw a broken windshield on the passenger side of the vehicle.
