P.G. High Jocks Get $6,000,000 Stadium

And what about education on skills that we use everyday?

Measure X PG High Stadium

The decades-old stadium will get new aluminum bleachers, a synthetic grass field, snack bar, scoreboard, field house and wheelchair access. The project began June 7 and is expected to be finished next spring.

The project is being paid for by taxpayers through a $42 million bond made possible through Measure D, which voters approved in June 2006 to renovate P.G. schools.

“In the wintertime it gets so muddy that it’s impossible for the kids to play a good game of soccer,” McCord said. “With artificial turf, the ball is so much more responsive.”

Yah, responsive balls. That will help me out in later life . .

Leave A Million Dollars In A Mini Storage?

Posted on by

If I was really looking out for the security of gold coins, I’d be asking a bank with a vault. Not a place where excess household junk is kept. Where’s Nadar??? Is he hiding in the bushes?

In a lawsuit filed June 18 against Extra Space Storage, Lillian King is seeking compensation for valuable silver coins and precious jewelry, which she says were stolen in 2006.

In January 2006, King’s attorney arranged to have 17 boxes of gold and silver coins and jewelry placed into a unit at the storage facility, according to the suit. In May of that year, King’s attorney removed two boxes of gold coins from the unit and placed them into a bank for safe keeping. However, days after that, the lawsuit claims, the storage unit was broken into and the remaining 15 boxes of silver coins and jewelry were stolen.

He is charged with 13 felony counts of child molestation and possession of child pornography related to alleged activities with a former employee.

The alleged victim told police he was molested by Stamm from 1999, when he was 14, to 2002. The defense has argued that the alleged victim’s accounts are not believable.

City Manager Suddenly Quits

Posted on by

Colangelo, who has 28 years experience in local government, said he’s not sure if he’ll look for another job, but that he plans to stay in the area, at least for a while. He said his son Dylan’s graduation from P.G. High last month was another reason for his resignation. “I feel like I have accomplished a lot of things,” he said. “I have reached a point in my career where I want to reconsider what I want to do.”

I wonder if all the employees that followed him to PG will do without him?

P.G. City Budget – $29,000,000

Posted on by

With fires and $5/g gas, it’s not shaping up to be a big tourist year. It’s smart to not be all Sandy-ish and start spending like a gold digger.

Pacific Grove’s $29 million fiscal 2008-09 budget got final approval late Wednesday by unanimous vote of the City Council.

The council has set the city machine’s financial carburetor on lean. Pacific Grove anticipates general fund revenues of $15.7 million, including new revenues of $630,000 and general fund expenditures of $15.2 million, with the balance going to build up city reserves.

Total expenditures for the coming year are expected to reach $24.8 million, including general fund spending and expenditures of money earmarked for special purposes.

Do We Really Need Susan Goldbeck’s “Talent”?

Wasn’t it sloppy management during her first terms that got us deeper into the mess we are in today?

Speaking of city leaders and funny money, Squid’s not sure what to make of former-and-would-be-future Pacific Grove city councilwoman Susan Goldbeck.

Recently, after repeated demands, the Weekly sales department received a long-overdue check for a Backpage ad– for a whopping $140. A few days later a notice from the bank arrived, saying the account is closed.

The Fat Cat Memory

Great article from a resident in the 1970s. Describes the place to a tee.
Fat Cat

I had stumbled across the Fat Cat in Monterey previously and that is the only way I knew this Fat Cat was also a restaurant. The Fat Cat near 17-mile drive was in what used to be a trailer park, but it served some of the best squid omelets you could ever want to taste. Yes, I had strange taste in those days.
