Bar & Nighttime Parties Coming To Golf Clubhouse?

PG Golf Parking
When the grave yard Clubhouse was pushed on the taxpayers we were told there would not be hard liquor or evening operation. I’m shocked, shocked that the city would ever turn on the residents and do such a thing.

The city is proposing the use permit for the $4million golf clubhouse at 79 Asilomar Ave. be amended to allow it to operate 6a.m. to 9p.m. rather than the current dawn-to-dusk schedule, allow the club restaurant to serve liquor as well as beer and wine, provide amplified music and erect light fixtures in the parking lot and along walkways.

Former Councilwoman Susan Goldbeck told the council the proposals fly in the face of promises made to neighbors when the clubhouse project was approved in 2003.

Callin Us All Chowdaheads?

Legal Sea Foods

A Boston-based restaurant chain is planning a dinner featuring seafood it says environmental groups have “brainwashed” consumers to avoid.

Legal Sea Foods owner Roger Berkowitz tells the Gloucester Daily Times that guides such as “Seafood Watch,” published by the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, have “no scientific basis,” but intimidate buyers.

Tree Rules Cut Down. You Can Learn A Lot From A Moron

Stump Lighthouse Congress

The changes would allow private property owners to replace cut-down trees with suitable trees listed by the city’s Natural Resources Committee as appropriate, though not necessarily the same species as those lost, and eliminate the “two-for-one” replacement requirement.

They hold the city to a higher standard of replacing trees, Frutchey said, noting Pacific Grove hasn’t kept up with the loss of trees on public property. Schematics included in the ordinance proposal noted a decline in the city’s tree canopy cover from 33 percent to 20 percent of its land area since 1986.

Full Bar And Parties Good For The Environment, City Planner Says

Throwing up in the bay is not harmful to the environment . . .

Pacific Grove’s residents have until Monday to comment in writing on a report that contends that keeping the city’s Municipal Golf Course clubhouse open in the evening, adding parking lot lights and serving liquor won’t have an impact on the environment.

The report, prepared by assistant city planner Ashley Hefner, covers a proposal to amend the clubhouse use permit to allow it to operate 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. rather than the current dawn-to-dusk schedule, allow the club restaurant to serve liquor as well as beer and wine, and provide amplified music.

Lighthouse Lodge Fails To Pay $231,602 In Taxes

Hasn’t made a mortgage payment since March ’09?

Lighthouse Lodge

Yelp Reviews

According to bankruptcy documents filed Dec. 15, Lighthouse Lodge LLC, employed 35 workers and in the last fiscal year had $3.2 million in gross revenues. It owed about $8.7 million on a to Orix Capital Markets, had $291,000 in “priority” unsecured debt and $5.7 million in other debt, owed to more than 175 suppliers and other vendors. Court records show the property was valued at $18.5 million and the company had $213,000 in cash.

The owners apparently stopped making payments on the mortgage sometime before March 2009, when Orix declared the loan in default. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stephen Johnson ruled Dec. 28 the inn should be sold to pay off creditors.

P.G. Woman Shows Anti Christmas Spirit

A bit anti American too. Says to give instead to corrupt third world nations. Nah.

If anything at all, look around a little closer to home.

A Pacific Grove woman believes many of the planet’s most daunting problems — world hunger, clean water, treating all AIDS patients, educating the masses and saving the rainforests — could be eliminated if Americans reduce their holiday spending by just 1 7percent and commit that money instead to a humanitarian effort.

She said a spending reduction of $334.20 per person — money that instead could be donated to humanitarian-focused nonprofit organizations — would heal many of the planet’s most-serious maladies.

“I was extremely surprised at what I found,” she said. “About a year ago, a cousin posted a Facebook video that stated that Americans spend $450billion each year on holidays, but only $10billion was needed to provide clean water for everybody on the planet. That really shocked me. Is that all it would take? If that’s the case, maybe these huge problems could actually be solved.”

DUI From P.G. That Ran Over Campers Goes To Trial Soon

“We’re hoping to go with that date in January,” she said this week. Petrick, who was 25 at the time of the accident, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol for felony DUI and taken to Monterey County Jail after allegedly driving over Carmel High School student Ryan Marden — son of Carmel River School principal Jay Marden — with his 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup truck while trying to get up a hill. Marden and a friend had been in sleeping bags on the ground when the accident occurred shortly after 2:30 a.m. May 2, CHP public information officer Bob Lehman reported at the time, and Petrick was reportedly unaware what he had done until passengers in his truck yelled.

Registrar Of Voters Gets DUI In P.G.

Alcohol arrests & DMP, they go together it seems.

Monterey County Registrar of Voters Linda Tulett, 43, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 19, after a Pacific Grove police officer pulled her over on David Avenue for speeding, according to PGPD Cmdr. John Nyunt.
“She showed objective symptoms of intoxication and was right at the [DUI]limit,” he said. Tulett, who lives on Funston Avenue in P.G., was taken to the police station and held there until sober. She was released just after 4 a.m. with a citation to appear in court on the charge.

Burglars Having Record Success In P.G.

Even if you lock things up, scum may cause damage costing more to repair than the lost item.

Almost a dozen victims reported thefts and burglaries to P.G. police between Dec.14 and 20, with the bulk of them — nine — occurring the night of Dec. 15 or the morning of Dec. 16. Eight of those vehicles were unlocked, according to police, and the ninth had its convertible cover cut.

In addition, thieves stole computers, a phone system and keys from the Anton Inn on Dec. 3, someone took a television from a rental property on Dec. 18, and a suspect tried to break into a Lighthouse Avenue business Dec. 19 or 20 but failed to get through the window or the back door. Nyunt said parolees, drug addicts and gang members are hitting his city and other Peninsula locations, because they know the prey is easy.
