This does not appear to be a repeat of her November 2024 arrest. Lady has a problem. Ticket mentions a collision, hopefully no one was hurt. Remember Deborah King? She had five DUIs before she killed a father in front of the middle school.

Chinesium Battery Starts Fire At Forest Grove School
Add this to the list of hazards we are warned about at Forest Grove.
fire inside a Pacific Grove classroom Thursday morning caused by a lithium-ion-powered battery was prevented from spreading after a quick-thinking teacher used sand her students play with to put it out, the Monterey Fire Department said.
Firefighters were dispatched to Forest Grove Elementary School just before 10 a.m., while summer school was in session. Division Chief Justin Cooper said the origin of the fire was a portable voice amplifier, a device teachers use to boost their voices in the classroom
Knock! Knock! Land Shark? Mormons?
Fire inspectors out door knocking for fire prevention but there is no door to knock on for the fuel infested Washington Park.
It’s a change many residents didn’t anticipate, coastal neighborhoods, long thought to be relatively safe, are now officially in the wildfire danger zone.”We presume in Carmel that we’re fairly safe,” Michael Spicer said.
However, the new Cal Fire hazard maps show otherwise. One Monterey resident said he wasn’t surprised by the updated risk designation.
“It doesn’t surprise me that it’s, on a high, fire zone. Yes. Because, as you know, we live in a forest,” Leonard Levenson said.
In response, Cal Fire has deployed six inspectors to visit homeowners, educating them about vegetation management, structure hardening, and defensible space, the key factors that can reduce wildfire damage.

Whatever brings ’em in. Too bad the last fast-food place this side of the tunnel is gone.
The burned-out husk of the Carl’s Jr. building on the corner of Lighthouse and David avenues draws passersby with their phones out, snapping photos of the pile of rubble that neighbors the Pacific Grove Tourist Information Center and is a stone’s throw from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Monterey Fire Division Chief Justin Cooper says insurance investigators are still combing the property to try to determine the cause of the fire, which remains unknown. Due to the severity of the damage, the cause may never be discovered, but Cooper says it doesn’t appear the fire was set intentionally.

All Those Opposed To The Self-Awarded Pay Hike, Sign The Referendum
A group of residents opposed to the Pacific Grove City Council’s decision last week to give itself an immediate 130 percent pay raise is hoping to overturn the idea by putting it to a vote of the people. The council on May 21 passed an ordinance to increase their monthly pay from $420 to $966, and from $700 to $1,610 for the mayor. Councilmembers Lori McDonnell and Paul Walkingstick voted against the pay hike.
In response, a group calling itself Transparent Pacific Grove filed referendum paperwork with the city clerk May 23. Former city councilman Luke Coletti filed the documents for the group.

Water Main Breakers
School Spirt, eh.
The California American Water break occurred after noon in the bus parking zone which parents also use to drop off and pick-up their kids on Sunset Avenue. Former P.G. City Councilman Dan Miller said that about two years ago — before Mogensen was city manager — he complained to city officials about a significant bulge in the pavement in front of the high school, but nothing was done about it. The pavement bulge turned out to be where the water main-break occurred.

Mr Mogensen, Tear Down These Walls
Ugly donkey corrals to be replaced by wider sidewalks for dining. Let’s see how many people want to eat in the fog with seagulls overhead.
The pandemic parklets that saved a number of Pacific Grove restaurants from closure as well as kept sales taxes flowing into city coffers, will come to an end by Oct. 31, the P.G. City Council voted on Wednesday, April 2.
City Manager Matt Mogensen was asking the council for direction on the parklet program as a deadline loomed for restaurants to renew parklet permits on June 30 for another year.
Since the city was moving toward sidewalk dining, Mogensen asked if they should sunset parklets. He suggested they give restaurant owners an incentive to remove their parklets early by waiving sidewalk dining fees costing $905 for the first year.
With the tourist season coming up, the council decided to extend sunsetting the program until Oct. 31. In the meantime, owners could choose to end by June 30, with fees waived and the city bearing the cost of removing their parklets.
Fast Food Flames Finishes It
The Monterey Fire Department responded to reports of a commercial structure fire at 902 Lighthouse Ave. around 6:37 a.m. according to a press release from the City of Monterey. Fire crews arrived within five minutes to find smoke inside the fast-food restaurant, located at the corner of Lighthouse and David Avenues, a few blocks up from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Firefighters found flames spreading rapidly through the attic. As the fire intensified, crews switched to a defensive strategy and evacuated the structure due to concerns about a potential roof collapse.
The fire was eventually contained, but the damage was extensive. The roof and several walls collapsed, and officials have deemed the building a complete loss. A Monterey Fire engine and ladder truck will remain on-site to monitor for flare-ups.
