While all the police were at the Pet Parade.
A woman was robbed by two men in Pacific Grove Friday afternoon, moments after the Feast of Lanterns pet parade concluded, according to Cmdr. John Nyunt.
“When all of our officers were tied up on this parade, we had an individual walking at Lighthouse and 13th toward town,” he said. At about 3 p.m. July 25, two men wearing dark clothing with hoodies grabbed her purse from her.

So we know that Grove Market opposes the farmers market because it’s competition. Ron’s Liquors opposes it because all of the veggie loving crowd will make the consumers of tobacco, booze & pr0n shop elsewhere, now a veterinarian says nay nay because people would not be able to drive down the one way street . . .
But Cottage Veterinary Care owner Jennifer Wernsing, whose business is on 16th Street, has appealed the planning commission’s approval of the location, requesting instead the market be held between 15th and 13th streets or on Saturdays.
“This street closure would be a terrible obstacle for each of my 3,000-plus local clients and their beloved pets,” Wernsing wrote in her appeal, dated June 26.
Wernsing contends that would require clients and pets to walk several blocks to her office.
For one business hour on Mondays, people would need to walk half a block from Central (or cut through the parking lot across the street). Hardly the “several blocks” she states. Makes it sound like all 3,000 customers would be arriving at 4:05 pm on Monday. Is she related to Grove Market or Ron’s Liquors?
And what about education on skills that we use everyday?
The decades-old stadium will get new aluminum bleachers, a synthetic grass field, snack bar, scoreboard, field house and wheelchair access. The project began June 7 and is expected to be finished next spring.
The project is being paid for by taxpayers through a $42 million bond made possible through Measure D, which voters approved in June 2006 to renovate P.G. schools.
“In the wintertime it gets so muddy that it’s impossible for the kids to play a good game of soccer,” McCord said. “With artificial turf, the ball is so much more responsive.”
Yah, responsive balls. That will help me out in later life . .

If I was really looking out for the security of gold coins, I’d be asking a bank with a vault. Not a place where excess household junk is kept. Where’s Nadar??? Is he hiding in the bushes?
In a lawsuit filed June 18 against Extra Space Storage, Lillian King is seeking compensation for valuable silver coins and precious jewelry, which she says were stolen in 2006.
In January 2006, King’s attorney arranged to have 17 boxes of gold and silver coins and jewelry placed into a unit at the storage facility, according to the suit. In May of that year, King’s attorney removed two boxes of gold coins from the unit and placed them into a bank for safe keeping. However, days after that, the lawsuit claims, the storage unit was broken into and the remaining 15 boxes of silver coins and jewelry were stolen.
Colangelo, who has 28 years experience in local government, said he’s not sure if he’ll look for another job, but that he plans to stay in the area, at least for a while. He said his son Dylan’s graduation from P.G. High last month was another reason for his resignation. “I feel like I have accomplished a lot of things,” he said. “I have reached a point in my career where I want to reconsider what I want to do.”
I wonder if all the employees that followed him to PG will do without him?
Pacific Grove farmers’ market, scheduled to debut in July, will be delayed for at least two weeks — and could be called off altogether this year — because of an advertising blunder in the Monterey County Herald, city officials said.
Scheduled to debut July 7, the farmers’ market will be set back because the Herald failed to print a public hearing notice for last week’s city council meeting in which the market was discussed.
“It’s too bad it will be delayed,” P.G. Mayor Dan Cort told The Pine Cone, “because we are all so excited about the farmers’ market.”
Well, if you can’t buy some vegetables, we can always find you some toast and noodles for about $30 . .
$8 toast at Joe Rombi
$21 for a plate of noodles, not even any meat!
Does someone else own the copyright to “The Newly Wed And Nearly Dead”?
The Pacific Grove City Council Wednesday voted to use the brands as part of a marketing strategy to draw more tourists to the city.
Although P.G. for some time has billed itself in fliers, brochures and advertisements as the most romantic destination, the copyrights will solidify those monikers and generate publicity.The city wants to be known as the “most romantic city,” “most romantic town” and “most romantic place.” “It creates news by saying you have copyrighted it,” said P.G. Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar.
Dogs doing what dogs do, either being social or defending their territory. It’s crazy to think that they will obey voice commands.
In the December attack, the two German shepherds, Lola, 2, and Bear, 11, owned by Monty Reitz, jumped Reitz’ 4-foot fence and ran toward Tule, a 2-year-old female Labrador owned by Casey Conover Houston, and began biting the dog, according to Davis’ report. Houston had been visiting her parents, the Conovers, who live next door to Reitz on Crocker Avenue.
In order to protect her dog, Houston said she “threw herself on top of her dog and screamed for help,” Davis wrote.
Although Tule didn’t suffer any lasting injuries, Houston said since the attack, the dog has had a difficult time socializing with other animals. “She acts a lot more scared now,” Houston said.
Could the dog be scared that whenever another dog comes near that a person is going to dive on top of her and scream? And when the rescue dogs try to drag her out from under the screaming woman, the woman fights off the rescuers?
admin’s concept:
The plan also calls for expansion of the restaurant from 92 to 128 seats, the addition of a 570-square-foot outdoor seating deck and ADA improvements within the restaurant, including a wheelchair lift, bathrooms and seating configuration.
The Old Bath House shut down in November 2005 after the city decided not to renew the lease with longtime operator Dave Bindel, who got behind about $30,000 in rent.
The concept also includes demolishing the Lovers Point public restrooms, which mayor Dan Cort called an “eyesore,” and installing new ones on the first floor of the restaurant.
So the thousands spent on repairing the fire damaged cinder block restrooms were a waste of money?
The kiddie pool at Lovers Point would also be removed and in its place a year-round picnic area would be built.
There goes another thing that the residents use, to be replaced by another picnic area where weddings take place.
Alicia Austin used a handgun to end her life at about 8:05 p.m. May 16 in a bathroom at George Washington Park, according to Pacific Grove Police. Numerous young children and teenagers were in the park at the time.
“We received a call of a shot heard in the area of George Washington Park,” said police Cmdr. Tom Uretsky. “As one of our officers was responding to that, he saw some juveniles running out of the park. They had gone into the restroom and had found the victim there.”
Uretsky declined to say what type of gun was used. He also wouldn’t say whether the woman died in the men’s or women’s restroom for fear it would become a “tourist attraction” for curiosity seekers.
