Mountain Lion Or Housecat?

Lion Layin

“There have been five sightings in the past week,” reported Paul Jeung, who works as a starter for the golf course.
Jeung said the mountain lion was seen on the back nine, which wraps around the lighthouse, and was described as “pretty small, about 100 pounds.”

Several of the sightings have been discounted by P.G. police officers. One “lion” turned out to be a large house cat and another, reported on Jewell Avenue near Sunset Drive, was described as “two feet long,” too small to be anything but a new cub.

Thief Leaves Cell Phone At Crime Scene, Comes Back To Get Arrested

None-too-bright Pacific Grove criminals.

Sean Conners

A suspected car burglar was arrested in Pebble Beach last week after he left his cell phone behind and then arranged a meeting with the victim to get it back.

Pacific Grove resident Sean Connors, 18, pleaded not guilty in Monterey County Superior Court Thursday to felony charges of vehicle burglary, grand theft and possession of stolen property – though he apparently didn’t possess it for long.

A caddie at Cypress Point Club, called the sheriff’s office just before 11 a.m. May 19 after discovering his Toyota Tundra had been burglarized.

He found a cell phone inside that did not belong to him, said Sgt. John DiCarlo. The phone rang, so the victim answered it, and the suspect said, “I left my cell phone in the car, and I’ll give you your property back if you give me my cell phone back.”

Nottenkamper agreed, hung up, and then promptly called the sheriff to report his truck had been broken into, his wallet, including $185 cash and day planner stolen, and the suspect was on his way back to the scene of the crime.

Deputy John Pellerin arrived at the caddie parking lot off 17 Mile Drive 10 minutes later.<

When the deputy arrived, the suspect was there with the victim and he was arrested, DiCarlo said. Nottenkamper recovered his planner and wallet, complete with cash and credit cards.

Raccoons Bad For More Than Just Tipped Trash Cans

Children getting perminantly crippled by parasites in raccoon poop.

The experts warn parents to watch their children carefully when playing in areas with known populations of raccoon latrines.
“If children are seen to ingest material from a raccoon latrine, the drug albendazole should be administered immediately,” Murray said, “and a sample should be sent for expert examination for Baylisascaris procyonis eggs.” Everyone should thoroughly wash their hands after playing outdoors or working in the yard.
Murray’s best advice for people with persistent raccoons at their home is to discourage the animals by eliminating access where possible, never leaving food out, and removing feces promptly. “The eggs are not infective until they ‘age’ for 14 to 28 days, so if the droppings are cleaned up immediately there is no danger,” Murray said.

Even at night, it’s ugly

Ugly Tree 2006

Business leaders are dreaming of a green Christmas in Pacific Grove — but it’s a vision with a price tag.

For years, Chamber of Commerce Director Moe Ammar has heard complaints about the scraggly pine in Jewell Park that the town decorates every holiday season.

“That’s got to be the ugliest tree I’ve ever seen,” said Ammar. “Last year we had 17 or 18 people comment, saying, `What kind of a horrible tree is this?’.

Red Ferraris On Golf Course

Public Works superintendent Daniel Gho recommended councilmembers consider bringing The Legends of the Autobahn to the municipal golf links on Aug. 18, 2022. Gho said it would be a “full cost recovery special event,” meaning organizers would reimburse Pacific Grove for related costs.

The car show’s organizers are looking for a new venue at the same time Pacific Grove would like to replace the loss of a car auction that was held during Car Week on the 18th Hole of the city’s golf course. Worldwide Auctioneers informed P.G. it would not be returning to the city next year for the event, Gho said.
