Look Who’s Talking
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.

Because the pension question is now being litigated, I have chosen not to run your letters or your advertisements.
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
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.
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 . . .
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.
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.

Entrancing Entrance
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.
