The operator of a rubber boat that capsized off the Pacific Grove shoreline was rescued by the Coast Guard Sunday morning.
Coast Guardmen said they were called to the waters off Ocean View Boulevard and Coral Street and a rescue boat crew found the man tangled in kelp clinging to his rubber boat that had overturned about 200 yards offshore.

Cal Am Water Takes It’s Time To Fix Leak
Four months ago, plumbers doing work on the house pointed out a leak at the water meter that connects to the house.
“It’s not visible to the naked eye. You have to lift the cover,”
Plumbers who found the leak called California American Water Company and told them about the problem.
Cal Am’s own employees HAD to have seen this when the check the meter every month, right? In the meantime, they spend money on advertisements telling us to save the precious H20 they suck out of the ground and charge us for . .
Running For Council Causes Global Warming!
Deborah Lindsay has announced that her campaign will be “carbon neutral.” The green radio host plans to offset carbon dioxide emissions from campaign-related driving, marketing, merchandise and office equipment by creating a community solar project.
Right, solar in foggy forested Pacific Grove. The woman is a kook.
Dumpsters Of Commerce August 2008
Not downtown, but a violation none the less. Pacific Grove Golf. That cardboard tube has propped the lid open all week.
Also not downtown. It’s in a closed compound, but the bird’s eye view is wide open.
Dumpster behind Holmans.
And now our most consistent winners. The businesses that always can be found with garbage open to the air, offering treats to gulls, raccoons and other vermin.
Zocalos Mexican Restaurant – wanna bet the kitchen is just as (un)tidy?
And Grapes Of Wrath Catering. Garbage is never closed.
Juice N Java continues to use the tree planter as a trash can
Juice N Java Garbage dumpster – hey vegans, free carrots!
Water War – Use It Or Have It Taken Away
Owner of the old Grove Theater building is sitting on water allotment, city want’s to pull it out from him..
On Wednesday, the P.G. City Council decided the owner of a downtown building who has excess water should either use the allotment or give it back so others can.
Rudas’ attorney, Dave Swaggert, firmly told the council they have no right to take away his client’s water. “I don’t know who is more shocked, Mr. Rudas or me,” Swaggert said, “that the [city] would deprive Mr. Rudas of a vested property right.”
P.G. Police Taser Suspect – Suspect Lives
And suspect was suicidal. Nice work, P.G.P.D. for ending this incident with no shots fired and no one assuming room temperature.
Pacific Grove police tased a reportedly suicidal suspect on Aug. 22. According to a PGPD press release, police responded to a report that Glenn Preston had a gun to his head. Preston left his residence before the cops arrived, and police chased him through the city, eventually forcing him to stop. Police tased him when he allegedly resisted arrest, later charging him with evading an officer, resisting arrest and possessing a firearm.
Follow Up: Dumpsters Of Commerce
Posted on 7/21. The County Health Department was called, the city was called. Everyone pledged to crack down on the sloppy restaurants poor housekeeping habits. I ported the story over on the Pacificgrove.com message board and it was picked up by the Weakly.
Well, nothing has improved. Recommendation, avoid downtown at all cost. Anything you touch will be diseased. Restaurants are not keeping wet garbage covered as per health regulations, who knows what other safety rules they overlook. Is the food covered? Is the mayonnaise kept at the correct temp? Are the dishes cleaned within spec? The mind fills with doubt.
Fandango’s 8/10, See the locking bar?? Use it.
Zocalos 8/21, complete disregard for health regulations.
Stamm Thought Being Homosexual Was Bad For The Business
The link to the KSBW story has links to all of their reports on Stamm.
On the witness stand, Stamm said he had sex with the alleged victim on at least four occasions, but he said it was consensual and only happened after the alleged victim turned 18.
Stamm said that story started going around town and that’s when he offered to pay the alleged victim $5,000 to recant.
Stamm said he’s gay and he hid his homosexuality because if it got out he feared it would ruin a batting cages business he once owned.
Well That Didn’t Last (As Predicted)
Primo in Pacific Grove has closed, not making the magic one year mark — another punch in the gut for that city
Whine Bars in P.G? Opened in March, 08. Second one to fall. Maybe they can blame the Farmer’s Market?
(W)Rec Trail For Sale
Union Pacific Railroad is offering its former rail line in Pacific Grove’s Asilomar area for sale, with an asking price of $1.6 million.
The property includes a .69 acre lot at Crocker and Sinex avenues that may be suitable for building. A railroad station once stood on the corner, according to Union Pacific spokeswoman Zoe Richmond in Sacramento.
The total 9.12 acre property stretches from Sinex Avenue to the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course, but most of it is “very thin,” she said, “not something for development.”
Union Pacific put the property up for sale about eight years ago,
Why didn’t P.G. buy it back then when there was money in the bank?
