Weird Turn Of Events – Attempted Robber Gets Stabbed By Victim

Posted on by

The Hear-Old later released the name of the stabbed burglar as 57-year-old Pebble Beach resident Raymond Gutkosky.

A man who owns a house along a golf course on 17 Mile Drive in Pacific Grove told police that at 11:30 a.m. he returned home and found a man inside his house.

“The owner armed himself with a kitchen knife and a physical altercation occurred,” Pacific Grove police Cmdr. John Miller said.

The burglar was stabbed in the chest by the 54-year-old homeowner. He fled by jumping into a dark blue Buick parked outside and a 30-year-old blonde woman was waiting at the wheel, dispatchers said, and the two sped away.

The stolen Buick had a rear bumper sticker reading “Support the Sheriff,” dispatchers said.

Investigators suspect the burglar was a 50-year-old Monterey man. Four hours later, the Monterey man called firefighters to his home and told them that he had been stabbed in the chest and side.

A CalStar helicopter flew him to a Bay Area trauma center to be treated for serious injuries. The hospital listed him in stable condition Friday.

New Monterey Record Store Moves To P.G.

Will be at 309 Forest Ave, the location of a long string of failed boring art galleries.

Add to the list of stupid things Moe says: “Vinyl Revolution will shake up Pacific Grove.”

Gamber will close his Lighthouse Avenue store July 22. He said he had to move because it was difficult for his new landlord, developer Carl Outzen, to get insurance for the dilapidated building.

Gamber acknowledged he will miss out on foot traffic from the Cannery Row area, but hopes to tap into a different dynamic in Pacific Grove.

“Since there’s no record store there,” he said, “I think the people in that area will appreciate it.”

He said he is aiming for another 20 years in Pacific Grove.

Stabbing Story Seaside Cop Is Fired

Posted on by

Nowhere to go but down after he admitted to having affairs with other cops wives and 911 dispatchers.

Seaside Police conducted an internal investigation that lead to the department’s firing of Officer Justin Gill, who has been on paid leave since an alleged stabbing incident last year.

Gill was fired on June 27th and since it’s a personnel issue, the department said it can’t go into details on why he was fired.

In 2012, Gill was off-duty when he said he was stabbed on Forest Avenue and reported the suspects got away. However, the Monterey County District Attorney began investigating the case because they believed he may have lied about what happened.

Cedar St Timeworn

Timeworn ran a letter from the Mayor regarding the pension issue, calling out John Moore. Then chooses not to run any response from Mr. Moore due to litigation.

So, since the Times itself is being sued, is it wise to buy ads or even take it serious?

Old Beach House Opening Soon

“Small Plates” = Leave broke and still hungry.

I can’t give you an exact opening date, but I can give you the first look at the menu, an eclectic take on casual California cuisine. It focuses nicely on small plates, with a signature dish called Feast of Lanterns Firecracker Shrimp, cooked crispy and paired with a spicy, cream sauce. You also will find a regionally inspired smoked wild salmon galette with a lemon-dill crme fra”che, but then the menu takes a sharp turn toward classic French with garlicky escargot. Oysters are well-represented (cooked and raw), and small-plate prices vary from $8 to $18.

Could have been better..

Cops Join Forces In Lawless P.G.

Wow, bringing in police from everywhere in a show of power. What better reason to stay away from town and shop in Sand City!

A coalition of officers from Salinas, Seaside and Marina issued nearly 20 traffic citations and warnings on Wednesday in Pacific Grove as part of a joint motorist safety operation, according to a release from the Pacific Grove Police Department.

The majority of the tickets issued as part of the four-hour Monterey Regional Strategic Traffic Operations Prevention Program were for distracted driving/cell phone and seatbelt violations. Six motorcycle officers conducted the operation.

Pacific Grove, The Mobile App In The News

Posted on by

Coast Weakly woke up about the clunky Pacific Grove App. Most of the flaws featured at it’s launch are being ironed out, but still pretty schlocky.

PG App Error Sorry

Officials say it’s the first city-sponsored app in Monterey County, with features like a Shop & Dine section with contact info and map directions, current weather conditions and the ability to contact city officials with a touch of the screen. Users can report issues like graffiti and defunct traffic lights, with the option to include pics, audio and video as evidence.

The P.G. app, which costs the city $300 per month, was developed by MyCommunityMobile. The company has developed similar apps for the cities of Viejo, Mendota, Needles and others.

Stupid Logic – Liberry Manager Position Tough To Fill, So . . .

Posted on by

Let’s rename the job “Liberry DIRECTOR” and offer more money(that we don’t have enough of) and ask them to fix the computers too. Maybe then the city can attract some young come-here to take the job and commute from Salinas. Then the newcomer will become depressed and leave, likened to the OG PG Cops.

I’d try renaming the job “Senior Liberrian” and offer more $$ to an existing employee.
I feel that to be a Director one would have more than a single dead-tree lending branch to direct, not fix the computers while your at it.

Library Book Drop

In the past six months, the city has twice tried to recruit applicants for the permanent position of a library manager at the annual pay range of $66,564 to $80,904. Those efforts haven’t turned up many qualified applicants.

That prompted leaders of three groups — the Library Advisory Board, Foundation for the Pacific Grove Library and the Friends of the Pacific Grove Library — to ask the City Council this week to put some more polish on the job title and salary.

In a letter to the council, the groups said people who run public libraries are generally called library directors, and the 2010 national mean salary for library directors was $100,106.
