Cultural Calendar Adds Days
DEI, still offending the Christian faith I see.
A Pacific Grove diversity panel which earlier this year omitted Christmas and Easter from a “cultural calendar” has included the major holidays on a revised version of the document, but one of the panel’s members this week expressed hesitation in adding more European and American cultural events for fear of making it “bland”.
P.G. Land Acknowledgment Should Include Prehistoric Life
The Dinosaur Equity and Inclusion committee insists that they were here before the humans. After all, they gave their lives so we could have petroleum.
If the city council OKs Rau’s recommendation, it will follow the Pacific Grove Unified School District, which notes in part at its board meetings that “we are on the traditional land of the Ohlone, Costanoan and Esselen people.’
Monarchs To Be Put On Endangered List
Probably can’t afford the rent.
“Ever scene we started monitoring the butterflies, what we have noticed is a steep decline in the number; an over 95% drop,” said Community Science Coordinator at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History Natalie Johnston.
Wednesday afternoon a swarm of Monarchs were fluttering throughout the sanctuary in Pacific Grove, but Johnston says there’s a number of reasons for their population drop.
“One of [the reasons] is habitat loss and in their northern ground where they migrate too,” said Johnston. “Another is pesticides, and then there is climate change, witch is impacting all creators.”

Cure For Parklet Pandemic
Tearing them down. Started as sidewalk dining then turned into full blown building additions. 
“The remaining parklet for Wild Fish restaurant will be removed Nov. 25,” Pacific Grove City manager Matt Mogensen told The Pine Cone this week. “The sidewalk widening project is expected to be completed prior to the end of the year, weather permitting.

Pedestrian traffic will be directed to’ a wider, 8-foot pathway between the outer portion of the fenced dining areas and Lighthouse Avenue. Other work includes removing trees and planting new ones in metal-grated wells, relocating signs and an existing light pole, while adding new pavement striping and markings.
Tax Deadbeat Liz Jacobs Begging For Cash to Sue the City
Can’t afford to pay taxes, can’t afford legal counsel to bring a lawsuit against Pacific Grove about their ugly ass corral that is due to be ripped out.
Jacobs is delinquent to the state for $143,000 in sales taxes that Wild Fish collected and another $9,000 to Monterey County for business assessment tax.
We spoke to an attorney who advised us that we are not being treated fairly. We would like to challenge the city to address these concerns. Our many public comments, emails and calls have not received responses that address these issues (and others that we have raised related to this). Therefore we would like to raise enough money to challenge the city, since it appears that this will not get addressed in any other way.
We started a GO FUND ME page to raise $5000.00, which is the minimum needed to proceed with our challenge. If you can donate, we greatly appreciate the support!
