Cort Lashes Back At David Dilworth

Says the activist is a symptom that is fracturing the community.

“I deeply regret how my actions have upset good people and I promise to be much more careful of my words and comportment in the future,” Dilworth said in his e-mail to the community.

Cort, however, said Dilworth made no attempt to communicate with him or any other city council member since last week’s original e-mail and said Dilworth wants “the media to forgive him.”

Sea Lions Take Over Beaches

Attracting more sharks, no doubt.

As long as the beaches get fenced off to protect them, more and more will keep coming here to give birth. Not unlike dare I say, illegal immigrants.

“As population has grown, they’ve spread out and taken and started using more and more locations around the Monterey Bay Peninsula,” said Jim Watanabe, with Hopkins Marine Station.

Pupping season not only brings more than 300 harbor seals to a 3-mile stretch of shoreline. It brings eager onlookers too.

“I’ve been standing here maybe 20-30 minutes. They’re really fascinating to watch. They’re really cute and their little sounds sound like ‘mom,'” said Sarah Knox, a visitor from Mass.

Sustainable Thinking – Ban T.V.

Kooks are in the palace. Why the T.V? $30 a year you’ll save – .09 a day. Can they look for better sources of electricity, like nukes?

Energy commission officials said the reason for the proposed new rules is because large Plasma and LCD TVs use a massive amount of energy

The regulations, however, would help a consumer save between $18 and $30 a year on their electricity bill, energy officials said.

Another Reason To Fear The Dentist

Groping. Was this one of those ‘sedation dentistry’ doctors that knock you out for a cleaning?

Defense attorney Michael Rothschild told the six-man, six-woman Yolo County jury that Mark Anderson was treating his female clients for temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. The attorney says the condition affects the muscles of the upper body.

Anderson faces 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for touching a patient’s breasts over her clothing.

We Don’t Serve Your Kind Shoppe Sets Off Flurry Of Spin Doctors

Ice Cream Shoppe Awning

Soldier Darrick Williams, who was unavailable for comment Monday, told the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce that he and his wife walked into the Ice Cream Shoppe — formerly known as Rocky Coast Ice Cream — on Lighthouse Avenue but decided to leave when they noticed the ice cream was over their budget.

As they were leaving, Williams was allegedly told by the store’s owner that he wouldn’t serve soldiers at his business, and the two exchanged words, Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar told KSBW Action News 8.

“He was referring to the fact that this guy is a soldier and this specific owner has anti-war, anti-Bush sentiments and these have been expressed in the location,” Ammar said.

The incident has spurred an uproar, with some residents writing letters to the editors of local newspapers and others boycotting all Pacific Grove restaurants until the location of the dispute was revealed.

The Chamber of Commerce said that pro DLI groups are planning to boycott the ice cream shop next week.

“I know the government officially says we’re in a recession. I’ve just chosen not to participate,” said John Wiseman, of Searle Framing.

Wiseman walked away from his small Central Coast chain of art supply and framing stores after he sold it 14 months ago to an investor.

Wiseman was working on his golf game full time when he got word last weekend that his old stores would close its doors, leaving more than a dozen long-time employees without jobs.

From the Park Lane Classic Residence by Hyatt website:

A day in the life of Lance Millington.

9:00 a.m. I begin to take the residents to their doctor and dental appointments in the Lincoln Town Car. We also take them on group shopping trips to various locations on the Peninsula four days a week and on a tour or activity every Friday afternoon. Friday mornings are reserved for cleaning and maintenance of the vehicles.
