This new joint SWAT team is not just for everyday crime fighting, but major emergencies and tactical situations, but if you’re thinking Salinas is involved you’d be wrong. It’s actually on the Monterey Peninsula.
Sand City, Seaside, and Cal State Monterey Bay have all approved the team. Pacific Grove, Carmel, Marina, and Monterey all have the item on their upcoming city council agendas.
With a rolling pin. Holiday stress?
Maria Dematos was arrested at 11:29 p.m. after police responded to a report of a disturbance in the 500 block of Chestnut Street, where neighbors had reported a man screaming. The man was taken to a local hospital, police said.
Dematos was arrested on suspicion of spousal abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. She was mentally evaluated at the hospital then booked at Pacific Grove Police Department. She posted bond and was released pending arraignment, police said.
What’s a better neighbor – Canterbury Woods owned houses or houses rented out in party packs?
The program would levy transient occupancy taxes on residential rentals such as those imposed on hotels and other lodging establishments in Pacific Grove.
City Manager Tom Frutchey said, “Regulating and taxing vacation rentals should prove to be a win-win opportunity for owners of vacant properties and the city as we strive to protect neighborhoods, develop our local economy and fund basic services.”
Giving It Up For Tourists – Legalizing Short Stays In Residential Areas
The pathetic LED ropelights are gone, in their place is the traditional shopping mall decor. Whatever. Would be better if there was some actual retail stores to sell things. What’s not empty is boring and useless.
We are stumped!
Sidewalk repairs? Beaver Invasion? Teenaged Mutant Brown Apple Moths?

All are invited to ring in the holiday-shopping season during Friday Night Lights. Families of all ages are encouraged to bring their little ones to visit Santa Claus and enjoy music and dancing from local entertainers, artists and school groups.
Holiday Shopping Season? Is someone missing the point? Maybe gift-giving season would be more thoughtful, but this piece of non-news must have been written by clueless Moe.
Deck the halls with advertising, What’s the use of compromising,
Dixie Layne began gutting the Feast Of Lanterns of it’s camp charm in 2009, declaring it was some sort of “multicultural celebration” and now has pretty much canceled the event for 2010. No week long summer celebration, no fireworks, no fun.
Like any number of Pacific Grove’s beautiful landmarks, the Feast of Lanterns needs renovating from to time. Its foundation is strong, but this beautiful old lady needs a new dress and accessories to sing a new song on a new stage to perform in her most awe inspiring tradition.

That sounds a lot like a P.G. Remodel, where a 100 year old comfortable, small house is 99% torn down and a replica mini mansion is built in it’s place. Attracts the wine & cheese crowds ok, but offers nothing to the locals.
To Dixie Layne, our Feast Of Lanterns is just another “gig”. Got any tar & feathers?
About time the users of the high paid city workers pay the price. Of course, developers like Nadir Agha are against anything that deprives them of an extra nickel.
On Wednesday, the City Council adopted recommendations made by city planning staff to require that the city recover 50 percent of costs for all architectural review permits, design changes and administrative approvals effective March 1, rising to 75 percent on Jan. 1, 2011.
The city currently recovers about 35 percent of the cost of processing the applications, said chief city planner Lynn Burgess.
In prison or a mental facility, King will never be free to operate a car again. That’s good.

Prosecutor Steve Somers confirmed Tuesday that Deborah King is being returned to Monterey County to face prosecution for allegedly running down 35-year-old Joel Woods as he was picking up his son outside Pacific Grove Middle School on Sept. 2, 2008.
King, who has five drunken-driving convictions in Kern County, is charged with murder and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. Somers alleges that she was under the influence of prescription drugs when the accident occurred.
This was one of the “Runaway Mayor” Dan Cort’s sustainable schemes. Bad idea – especially for the residents that live north of the thing in case of an earthquake.
One reason I do not trust the city with more of my tax money.
A $45,000 study on the feasibility of reactivating California American Water’s empty reservoir in Pacific Grove as a catch basin for storm water runoff and a source of irrigation water for the city’s golf course and parks will be presented Wednesday to the Pacific Grove City Council.
