Might Be A P.G. High Grad fer sure.
As Seen On KSBW
Someone hired by the store to write “entrance only” in large, white capital letters across the front of the freshly repaved parking lot accidentally wrote “enterance only.”

Fatal Accident Driver’s Blood Test “not inconsistent with the charges.”
Plus gleening evidence from computers in both cars.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Terry Spitz said prosecutor Ed Hazel was expected to file charges on Friday or early next week against Pacific Grove builder Stuart Elder, who was arrested on charges of vehiclular manslaughter while under the influence.
..
Elder’s attorney, Paul Nathan Puri, said Elder “flatly denies he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.”
But Spitz said Thursday that Elder’s final blood toxicology reports are “not inconsistent with the charges.”

Avoid Uncomfortable Contact With The Deer
The Pacific Grove Police Department received reports from residents who say deer in their neighborhood have been acting aggressively recently.
How can you tell if a deer is mad at you? An alarmed deer will change its stance and eye posture. It will also stomp its feet and huff. Residents who encounter this should slowly back away and avoid the area.
Pacific Grove police said the best way to avoid uncomfortable contact with deer is to follow these tips:
Don’t feed the deer
Keep dogs on a leash
Be especially cautious of deer with fawns
Observe deer from a distance
Carry a 30.06? Wear Orange?
Felony DUI Aaron Corn Granted Appeal
The media talks about Chelsie all the time, but it was reported that 4 others were injured, Corn took the car without permission AND was on probation. Stay in jail, boy.
A Pacific Grove man who paralyzed a friend in a drunken-driving accident will get another chance to get out of prison.
The 6th District Court of Appeals this week reversed the seven-year prison sentence of Aaron Corn and remanded him for a new sentencing hearing before Judge Russell Scott.
The three-judge panel unanimously concurred with Corn that Scott wrongly concluded the then-18-year-old was ineligible for probation after paralyzing Chelsie Hill. In a unanimous ruling written by Justice Patricia Bamattre-Manoukian, the panel voiced no opinion about what Corn’s new sentence should be, only that probation should be on the table.
P.G. Businesses Oppose Bag Ban
Shoplifters love reusable shopping bags.
In a “face-to-face” survey of 51 businesses, 64 percent asked said they are not in favor of a plastic bag ban that would also require patrons to buy a paper bag.
But 75 percent of shop owners said they wouldn’t mind a ban on plastic bags if customers didn’t have to pay for a paper bag to replace it.
Fruit Cheese Says The Budget Is Breaking Even
In his budget message, City Manager Thomas Frutchey said Pacific Grove is in better shape than “numerous other cities” spending down their general funds to pay for basic services. The city will have $4.5 million in reserves as of June 30, up from $800,000 five years ago, he said.
A proposal to add $50,000 to the budget to improve the intersection at Central and Eardley avenues brought pleas from two Monterey Bay Aquarium employees to make the intersection safer for pedestrians.
I offer an affordable solution – make the pedestrians cross at David instead of Eardley. If the ever expanding Fish Jail management team that is converting retail buildings across Central into offices wants a controlled intersection they should foot the bill.
CHP Has Cause To Conclude That Stuart Elder Was Drunk
Sizing up to be a quite a case. Lawyers now accusing news of yellow journalism
On Monday, Puri issued a statement denying the allegations and making Elder out to be a concerned man who took care of his friend in the crash’s aftermath and is mourning the deaths he caused.
He said Elder “will be vindicated in a court of law.”
But California Highway Patrol public information officer Bob Lehman said the officers — who are highly trained in accident investigation and determining whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs — had cause to conclude Elder was drunk, though he wouldn’t go into details. He also noted the CHP is the top echelon when it comes to skills, training, technique and information regarding DUI investigations.
Ex Tree Posse Turned Seal Posse Responds To Losin’ Susan
P.G. Newcomer Akeman has a new calling against humans – watching seals and blocking access to the beach.
I may not know all the definitions of vigilante, but I believe Susan Goldbeck used the term erroneously in a guest commentary in Thursday’s Herald. She was concerned about efforts to protect harbor seals and the babies they have each spring on Pacific Grove beaches.
The city applied its policy this month when the first baby seal in known history was born at Lovers Point. After mom and pup were spotted on Sunday morning, city police asked Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s Bay Net docents to provide a human presence at Lovers Point. Public Works brought barricades and yellow tape; the Marine Mammal Center brought signs.
PGPD: Bring Your Drugs To Us
Bummer duude, it’s not a drug buy back program.
“The goal of the program is to allow citizens to deliver all of their unused, unwanted or expired medications to law enforcement officials who can in turn dispose of these controlled substances in a safe, secure and non-hazardous manner, potentially saving lives and protecting the ecosystem,” according to PGPD Cmdr. John Miller.
The program is anonymous, and medications may be dropped off in their original containers or deposited directly in the disposal bin. Liquid products should remain sealed.
Humans Or Seals, Who Is Allowed To Block Access To The Beach?
The opposition is watching Losin’ Susan move the Seal Posse’s signs . .
It is curious the city of Pacific Grove, which appears to have a back door role in all this controversy, must have had a decided change of heart regarding marine mammals.
The city’s solution to keeping all marine mammals off Lovers Point Beach just a few years ago was to bang pots and pans to frighten them away. Now it seems we need to keep the public off the beaches if so much as one mother and pup venture into those areas.
Even Lovers Point Beach was recently closed after one mama seal appeared on the beach with her pup. It was mighty cute, yes, but the public was denied access to the beach and beach-related businesses were adversely affected.
