Believing her cat’s death was accidental, Edwards consoled herself with the company of her other cat, Todd. But a few days after Lily’s death, the manager of Edwards’ apartment complex said she had discovered a black styrofoam meat tray with antifreeze in one of the complex’s flower beds.
“I picked it up and threw it away,” said the woman, who declined to be identified.Then, the manager found a tin pie tray filled with antifreeze on a trail behind the apartment complex – an obviously intentional act to kill animals.

Pimping The Town To US Open Golf Fans
A marketing plan is needed for Pacific Grove’s golf course to build up attendance and prepare for next summer’s U.S. Open tournament at Pebble Beach, the City Council agreed Wednesday.
Mayor pro tem Bill Kampe had previously proposed that the council appoint a five-member ad hoc committee for the task.
But newly appointed Councilman Robert Huitt suggested the job might better be handled by a professional marketer using city resources, including the Recreation Commission, the three golf clubs affiliated with the municipal course, tourist-oriented business groups and economic development groups.
Barely on the job and Huitt is spending like a sailor on shore leave.

Runner Up Ken Cuneo & Ex Member Robert Huitt Fill Seats
Check that picture in Cedar Street Times – SOMEBODY please send these guys for some grooming.
It took three rounds of nominations and votes to appoint Cuneo, and when the council appeared (on the fourth vote) unable to garner the four votes necessary to fill the vacancy left, they swore Cuneo in and added his vote. He promptly nominated two additional candidates — Dan Miller and Richard Ahart, both of whom ran unsuccessfully in the November, 2008 election with Cuneo — but when it came down to the vote, Cuneo went for Robert Huitt
Tsunami Warning Beach Gathering – Darwin Theory Proven
Story copy from KION website has nothing to do with anything local – but do check the video block – a news reporter is interviewing spectators that went down to the shore to see the waves.
Officials in the San Francisco Bay Area are reporting a quiet night after a tsunami advisory was issued Tuesday for the coastal areas of California and Oregon.
In nearby Pacifica, police closed Pacific Pier earlier that usual, though the waves late Tuesday were reported to be no bigger than those generated during a winter storm.
96 Year Old Woman Beaten To Death In P.G.
Around eight last night, Pacific Grove Police responded to a medical emergency on the 2800 block of Forest Hill Boulevard. When Officers arrived, they found 96-year-old Charlotte Danvers lying on the floor, badly beaten. Police say she suffered traumatic injuries and died earlier this morning. Bill Speacht lives next door to the Danvers and he says this comes as a shock to the whole neighborhood.
“We did hear some screaming before and things like that, but I mean it wasn’t like a common occurrence, and that’s what I told police,” says Bill Speacht.
Police arrested Danvers’ daughter, 63-year-old Jean Danvers. Officers charged her with homicide and she was booked into the Monterey County Jail today. Neighbors say they didn’t know the family well.

Safeway Pharmacy Robber Accused & Captured
Picture from Coast Weakly
no, won’t be passing out acid but maybe something else . . .
Suspect lived on Cypress street in New Monterey and stupid enough to be driving his getaway car into P.G. Why do you think they call it ‘dope’.
The suspect, 32-year-old Brennan Tiffany, was arrested at gunpoint in the Safeway parking lot on Forest Hill Wednesday morning, when officers in an unmarked car spotted him.
Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, a Pacific Grove detective and a detective from Marina following leads in an unmarked car fortuitously saw Tiffany’s Toyota SUV entering P.G. via Highway 68. They summoned other officers and initiated a felony stop, pulling the car over in the Safeway parking lot and drawing their guns before approaching to arrest the driver..
Exodus Continues – Vicki Stilwell Quits Council
The council also decided Wednesday that Kampe should be appointed mayor pro-tem after Stilwell announced she is resigning effective Friday.
Stilwell said her reasons are strictly personal. She said the economic recession has hit her family hard and they must move out of the area.
To fill the seats of Garcia and Stilwell, the council said it would accept applications until noon Sept. 28. A special council meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 30 to hear from applicants, and appointments will be made.
Typically we go down the list of candidates – this would put Dan Miller & Ken Cueno in the seats..

Mayor Chosen – Carmelita Wins
By the toss of a coin. Could P.G. politics get any weirder? Good news for chicken owners. Only the losers supported Kampe.
Few members of the public were present when City Attorney David Laredo tossed the coin about 9 p.m. It landed tail side up, in favor of Garcia.
The council was split 3-3, with Garcia supported by council members Alan Cohen and Lisa Bennett. Councilwomen Vicki Stilwell and Deborah Lindsay backed Kampe.
After voting three times, with the same result, it was clear that neither Kampe nor Garcia would step aside, and their supporters would not be swayed.
