What once was a pleasant place to view exhibits of local natural history has become a “re-education camp” for the Substainable Vegetarian Global Warming Eco-freaks.
Tama OIver will present the latest science on climate change at a free presentation hosted by Sustainable Pacific Grove at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, Central and Forest avenues, Pacific Grove.
Only in government are projects costing from $2,000,000.00 to $17,000,000.00 considered “small projects”. They include reactivating the former waste treatment facility at Point Pinos, Runaway Mayor Dan Cort’s scheme to fill the old Cal Am reservoir or my favorite, pump raw sewage from DMP to Carmel – flush twice, it has to make it over the hill..
The city has tucked three small projects that would produce recycled wastewater or stormwater for irrigation into California American Water’s overall application to the state Public Utilities Commission for a Peninsula water project.
Looking at spiraling costs for the 100 to 125 acre-feet of water it takes a year to keep the city golf links and adjacent El Carmelo Cemetery green, the city looked at ways to replace that expensive potable water with nonpotable irrigation water.
People that can spend $8 for a jar of pickles or hundreds on rusty garden decor seem the most gullible for other scams, right?
Police said the callers may be using personal information from social media sites.
Police advise residents to never divulge personal information over the phone or send checks, money orders or valuable items to people or businesses you don’t know.
If the scam involves a relative, confirm with someone you know that what is being claimed is true.
You can report scams online to the National Consumers League Fraud Center at www.fraud.org, or call the local police department.
Cut services or build fewer of those jazzy bus shelters? Thanks Transit Union.
Federal grant money accounts for about 25 percent of the agency’s operating budget.
California’s new pension reform law has come under fire from the Amalgamated Transit Union, which has called upon the U.S. Department of Labor to withhold federal funds from MST and other California public transit operators, the agency said Tuesday.
How many more stadiums and parking lots do they really need?
The voters that favor more taxes for schools must be either parents of school aged kids or retired teachers. As P.G. turns more into a retirement village or vacation home town there are fewer of the former and not enough of the latter to make up for them..
The measure, which called for a $65 annual parcel tax, had 6,103 yes votes (66.37 percent) and 3,092 no votes (33.63 percent) according to the Monterey County Elections Office.
Well that was a predictable result.
The court rejected the Willoughbys’ claim that the use permit was not in compliance with the city’s general plan and zoning code, and rejected their challenge to the city’s environmental studies related to the use permit amendment.
The plaintiffs were represented by attorney Susan Goldbeck.
Crime is alive and well at Country Club Gate. Looks like one of them was stealing Sharpie pens.
One of them, police said, tried to spray an employee with pepper spray.
Employees watched them run into a residential area and kept in contact with police by cellphone, and four of the six were caught and arrested, investigators said.
They were Jamilah Lynn Barth, 26, of Boulder Creek; Kelly Lynn Loretz, 26, of Ben Lomond; Patrice Roxmary Hayes, 24, of Fremont; and Jasmine Robinlsa Magnuson, 23, of Watsonville, police said
Music then talk radio and now more catechism communications on the once enjoyable KMBY.

Practical and purposeful items like straight pathways and a historic building are out, zig-zagging trails and demolished buildings are in.
The path, which had been straight and wide enough to drive a car on, now meanders and is narrower. The small metal posts and twine marking the path were replaced by thick redwood posts and bulky rope. City workers added a drainage system to combat erosion.
Brokaw Hall, dating back to 1914 and formerly part of the Del Monte Military Academy, was considered unsafe and needed to be torn down, Zimmer said. It was dismantled in June.
“Brokaw Hall is gone and is becoming the hall of flowers,” said volunteer Bob Pacelli. He and other volunteers plan to add 75 plants to the sanctuary before the ceremony, he said.
He is part of a project to add eight new genera of plants. The plants have been used in the sanctuary throughout the years, but not recently, said Frances Grate, a Pacific Grove gardener who is involved in the project.
The long-term goal is to plant permanent flowers that the butterflies can use instead of relying on temporary plants brought to the park each year.
The shopping center has been a training academy for young criminals. Add stupid young criminals – this one thought the bank would have money left out of the vault for the taking.
A 19-year-old Pacific Grove man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and vandalism early Sunday after he reportedly broke a window at the Chase Bank at 170 Country Club Center, then climbed in to look for money.
The broken window caused an alarm to sound just before 6 a.m., police said, and they arrived to find Curtis Vanderslice, near the bank.
Vanderslice admitted breaking the window and going inside, police said. He was booked into county jail.
