Winged On The Web

The Monterey Regional Monarch Alliance’s new website, MRMAlliance.org, is a one-stop shop for finding volunteer opportunities, educational resources, and information on creating monarch habitats.

“Everybody can make a difference,” says Dr. Emily Zefferman, an ecologist at the Resource Conservation District of Monterey County. “Some people might not have the ability to go volunteer, but maybe they can plant some native plants in their garden. Some people might not be able to do that because they’re renters, but they can join a community science project or they could educate other people about monarch butterflies.”

Theft Or Treat?

Must be those Methodists, keeping us safe from pagan celebrations.

“They stole all my sister-in-law’s stuff out the back of their truck and tried ripping the decorations that were already up,” the woman said, adding that her boyfriend yelled at the thieves and they took off in a small dark colored sedan. “We’re pretty sure a truck was also involved.

We had one [reported] incident of Halloween decorations being stolen and vandalized on Oct. 27 in the 700 block of Hillcrest Ave.,” Pacific Grove Police Sgt. Brian Anderson said. “Skeletons were damaged and parts of them were stolen.” While some suggested that police check the city’s traffic surveillance system for vehicles that matched the description,  Anderson said police did not have a “sufficiently detailed description of the suspect vehicle to use our cameras.”

Marina police received a tip about “concerning online postings” allegedly made by 21-year-old Ryan Keating.

At the Marina home, police said they found 2,500 rounds of ammunition in various calibers; two shotguns, one handgun, and three rifles, all legally purchased.

Investigators also found two “ghost gun” handguns and two “ghost” AR-15 rifles in the process of being manufactured. Numerous firearm parts and a 3D printer suspected of being used to make more firearm parts were also located, police said.

Four legally purchased handguns and 2,000 rounds of ammunition were located at Keating’s Pacific Grove home.

PG Homeless Project Manager Charged With Fraud

Tried to seize the Monarch Resort. I’m usually suspicious of these tax funded humanity projects.

Monarch Resort

On Oct. 16, FBI and IRS agents arrested 31 -year-old Cody Holmes, financial officer of Shangri-La Industries, on a federal complaint alleging he provided fake bank records to the California Department of Housing and Community  Development, which paid him nearly $25 million in taxpayer funds for a state homelessness project dubbed Project Homekey.

And the Coast Weakly thought this was a “Great Thing”.

PG Progressives Want Safety Cameras Shut Off

Afraid of losing voters?  PG Bolshevists

Afraid of sending out pictures of John Mothershead’s version of a Flock at work (right)?

It wants Pacific Grove to “explicitly prohibit any access or sharing with ICE and border protection or other Immigration agencies — directly or indirectly — without written city authorization,” and to confirm whether immigration authorities have accessed the camera data.

School Alerts Parents To Horrific Predator

Eh, it was a dead deer that was killed by a mountain lion. Quick to send out the warnings, except when human predators are there all the time.

On Oct. 1O, Pacific Grove Unified School District sent an alert to parents that staff at Forest Grove Elementary School that morning had discovered a dead dear on
campus. It was apparent that the deer was the victim of a
predator. “This morning, school site staff discovered a deceased deer on the Forest Grove Elementary campus, behind K-Wing,” PGUSD noted. “The scene indicated possible wildlife activity, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been notified.”
Children were not at school when the attack occurred,
and Pacific Grove students are on fall break this week.

$200,000 For Schools, Good?

Not really. It’s for 2 delivery trucks to meet the needs of serving school lunches. Never had a problem with serving students when the population was more than it is today. Only problem then was those hardtack grilled cheese.

Students at Pacific Grove Middle School were probably surprised to see what appeared to be a food truck, complete with colorful, oceanside graphics, on their campus. The truck, formally called a “mobile serving station,” is one of two electric vehicles the district purchased for $96,000 apiece that distribute food to students to reduce the cafeteria lunch line, which can get long.
