The trees can stay but the school board needs to be reduced by a seat or two.
Four recently planted apple trees at Robert Down Elementary School — which parents planted two weeks ago during a school cleanup day without prior approval — will be allowed to stay, the Pacific Grove Unified School District board decided.

Evidence points to another resident in the same apartment complex. People who torture animals often graduate up to other crimes. .
The person who placed a dish of antifreeze in a flower bed of a Pacific Grove apartment complex to kill a tenant’s cat in September set out two more bowls of the poison, this time adding food to the toxic soup so it would be more enticing to felines.

Letter published aimed at the Carmel Valley city-or-not voters:
If you need proof that newcomers usually don’t have the veteran residents’ welfare and concerns in their hearts, witness the recent past in Pacific Grove.
