Informants led Pacific Grove police to the 19-year-old Seaside man they suspect of robbing the pharmacy at Safeway and fleeing with 800 Oxycontin pills two weeks ago, and to another male they believe was involved in the crime. Cmdr. John Nyunt reported officers took Johnny Rodriguez into custody after serving a search warrant on his home last Thursday morning, and they had 20-year-old Seaside resident Cameron Ferguson arrested on the tarmac at San Jose Airport later that day.

Damn the parasites, full speed ahead.
“We paid a lot of money for this Triathlon and I’ve trained for almost a year now so I’m just going to go for it,” said Triathlon Swimmer, Christal Alderton.
“Every year we always have something going on with the water. It’s a still time of year. But because of contact with the county we just felt like let’s do it! And everyone’s been swimming and enjoying the ocean and we haven’t had any ill effects,” said Betsy Davis Co-Owner Tri-California
Now the warning signs have the local spin job saying the levels are down next to them.
The Weakly has a story about the efforts to import some trees for this coming winter’s butterfly migration.
Heavy pruning of the sanctuary’s eucalyptus trees a year ago may have been responsible for the estimated 96 percent drop in the monarch population there last overwintering season – although, according to butterfly experts, the population simultaneously fell about 90 percent throughout the Central Coast.
Funny is the comment from M. Butterflies:
Monarch Butterflies are known to be very conservative Republicans who believe in the rule of law, individualism, and private property. Most Monarch’s have changed their migration patterns to avoid over-taxed nanny states like California.
This attempt to set up overpriced Government subsidized housing is going to be considered a serious insult to a vast majority of Monarch’s, who are all ready counter-protesting Monterey Counties boycott of Arizona.
Though they bow down to liquor stores.
Residential Care Facilities, eh? Maybe Canturbury Woods can use the homes on Spazier to grow pot now that people are not allowed to live there.
The ordinance, prepared at the council’s direction by City Attorney David Laredo, prohibits “growing, selling, distributing or operating marijuana dispensaries” medical or otherwise.
There are exclusions, Laredo said, for health care, residential care or hospice facilities to provide marijuana to patients who hold doctors’ prescriptions for cannabis, and residents can grow plants “in strict compliance with the (state) compassionate use act.”
“It seemed like the endless project,” Cindy Walter said of the undertaking she and her husband, Ted, took on four years ago.
Their lives have changed in that time, Walter said — she had two surgeries and has another scheduled — and they decided their Passionfish restaurant in Pacific Grove is all they want to handle now. They have owned it for 13 years.
Walter said she and her husband invested time, emotion and thousands of dollars in the Old Bath House project. As it proceeded, “there were more and more expenses,” she said.
I’m telling ya, this would be easy:
Keeping us all safe from encroaching Episcopalians, good job!
A Superior Court judge has upheld Pacific Grove’s right to pursue a cross-complaint in an ongoing legal battle over expansion of a retirement home into a neighborhood.
After a January hearing, city-appointed hearing officer David Spradling found that Canterbury Woods committed four violations of city zoning laws by having dwellings outside the retirement-home campus as additional client units and providing them the same meals and housekeeping services.
He said Canterbury Woods violated the area’s single-family residential zoning by introducing a commercial use in the neighborhood when it expanded beyond the main retirement complex. But he didn’t find the retirement home in violation of its use permit.
Notice that the signs are only in English?
“They were everywhere the last time we came, but we didn’t see them this time, probably because we didn’t see them in the same places as last time,” Carey said, adding that his family took the warnings seriously.
“But we don’t go all the way into the water. Just to about here,” he added, motioning to his lower leg.
Posted at area beaches by Monterey County Environmental Health staff when beachwater bacteria levels exceed state standards, the 8-inch-by-11-inch signs reading “Warning! Ocean water contact may cause illness” hung at three entrances to the beach on Saturday.

No trees, no butterflies. Guess this will have to do:
At a City Council meeting last week, Mayor Carmelita Garcia apologized for the city’s mismanagement of the tree cutting, calling it “a horrible mistake.” In the audience, people who had come to hear about emergency sanctuary repair wore toy butterfly antennae that bobbed up and down as the mayor spoke.
With the first monarchs due in about a month, volunteers have been scrambling for potted trees that can serve as makeshift butterfly shelter throughout the 2 1/2-acre sanctuary. “We’re hoping and praying,” said Moe Ammar, president of the Chamber of Commerce that serves the picturesque, sometimes fogbound town of Victorian homes.
“People who follow the monarchs come from all over the world,” Ammar said. “When we get calls asking if the butterflies have arrived, we have to be honest.”
Will be nice to have a store with low prices in town.
Dopes.
Police say they have surveillance video of John Reyes Rodriguez, from Seaside, robbing the store.
Officers also said San Jose police arrested Cameron Myles Ferguson, from Marina, last night in connection to the robbery.
