Who would give money to Wild Fish? What happened to the money they got from our taxes?

Wild Fish owners Kelvin and Liz Jacobs oppose a city plan to redesign the sidewalk outside their 545 Lighthouse Ave. restaurant. The construction project includes removing their enclosed wooden dining parklet and two others used by neighboring restaurants in favor of open-air eating areas.
In a GoFundMe page started Oct. 15, the Jacobses say they’re preparing for a court battle against Pacific Grove and want people to open their wallets.

Baby Killers Kicked Off Campus

What is PP hiding?

Pacific Grove Unified School District will no longer use a sex education course offered by Planned Parenthood because of the group’s restrictions on public access to the curriculum, the superintendent said this week. In the spring, though, some Pacific Grove parents and residents who requested to view the curriculum over concerns it contained gratuitous and explicit sexual content were denied access to it.

Facing criticism about a webpage in the course that seemed to promote sex to kids, Planned Parenthood removed the content. The same page contained a hashtag that, when searched online, offered pornographic websites, according to a citizen who viewed the course.

On Oct. 25 at about 12:30 p.m., officials at the David Avenue charter school called 911 to report a student with a knife. Pacific Grove Police officers responded and found the boy near the corner of Forest Lodge Road and Congress Avenue holding a “doubled  edged weapon.” “The student was safely disarmed and escorted away from the campus to access necessary support services,”

Unknown Group Wants To “Save” NOAA Building

Posted on by

Read a few pages of internet search results and cannot find anything referring to COAST or Ken Parker. Suspect other motives, just like the conspiracy theory that the NOAA building was a CIA facade.

Two years safter the federal government sold Pacific Grove’s NOAA building to a private buyer, a group that formed to oppose the sale is asking the National Park Service to create a 92-acre historical district at Point Pinos that includes the former NOAA property — and prevents the building from being used for any commercial or residential purposes.

“Designation of the complete 92-acre parcel as the Point Pinos Lighthouse Reservation Historic District would restore the original intention to preserve this unique site,” the group contends. “This historic and scenic coastal location warrants comprehensive recognition and protection.” Measuring 11,200 square feet, the NOAA building was built in 1952 as a training facility for Navy pilots and ground personnel — and to withstand a nuclear blast. It was later used as a weather station for NOAA before being transferred to the federal agency in 1995. In 2009, artist Ray Troll was commissioned to create a colorful 400-foot-long mural of sea life on the building. The effort cost taxpayers $120,000.

P.G. Child Attacked By Dog, Owner Fleas

Posted on by

A string of dog bites this fall. The child had to undergo rabies shots.

On Tuesday a little after 4 p.m., the P.G. Middle School sixth grader was riding his bike through the Rip Van Winkle Open Space on his way to cross-country practice at  Monterey Bay Charter School when a white dog roughly 20 to 25 pounds charged him.
“The dog started chasing him and my son thought he was going to run it over with his bike,” his father told The Pine Cone Thursday. “He got off his bike so he wouldn’t hit it, and it latched onto his left leg. He said he had to shake the dog off.”
An unidentified woman who was with the animal called it before asking the 11-year-old, “Did our dog bite you?” the father explained. But when his son confirmed it had, the woman, who was with another female, did not offer help and took off.

Tax Deadbeat Liz Jacobs Begging For Cash to Sue the City

Posted on by

Can’t afford to pay taxes, can’t afford legal counsel to bring a lawsuit against Pacific Grove about their ugly ass corral that is due to be ripped out.

Jacobs is delinquent to the state for $143,000 in sales taxes that Wild Fish collected and another $9,000 to Monterey County for business assessment tax.

We spoke to an attorney who advised us that we are not being treated fairly. We would like to challenge the city to address these concerns. Our many public comments, emails and calls have not received responses that address these issues (and others that we have raised related to this). Therefore we would like to raise enough money to challenge the city, since it appears that this will not get addressed in any other way. 

We started a GO FUND ME page to raise $5000.00, which is the minimum needed to proceed with our challenge. If you can donate, we greatly appreciate the support!

Known as the Chinese Pavilion, the open-air structure will not only be a distinctive local landmark, it will provide
space for “community events, including festivals and the Chinese New Year in particular, and educational exhibits. “

Chinese New Year! Will we get fireworks?
