Today at the post office. Susan is packing up her stuff. She parks her car:
1. Double Parked.
2. Blocking the handicap spot.
Sorry for the poor pic – camera phone shot.
I pointed out she was blocking the handicap spot, and I heard laughter from Loosin’ Susan.
County supervisors have denied two claims brought Tuesday afternoon by Jason Chioino, who is facing trial on three counts of possessing drugs with intent to sell.
One claim seeks compensation for allegedly being exposed to asbestos in the Salinas Courthouse. The second claim asserts that the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office improperly restrained Chioino, physically harming him.
Chioino’s record includes felony convictions for kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and breaking and entering. He has served two prison terms.
Chioino is awaiting a Nov. 9 hearing to set the date of his jury trial. He is representing himself, said prosecutor Anne Hill.
Concerned that he have been exposed to asbestos but uses meth? Can’t brush his teeth while shackled is the other reason, he has teethe after using meth? Sounds like the American Criminal Liberties Union is recruiting out at CJ.
This man was allegedly caught in PG with a pound of Meth. And now of a sudden he is all concerned about his health? I got a big claim in return – endangering me an my family by bringing dangerous drugs and their users to my town. The compensation? Lock him up for life.
Pacific Grove city staff members will be looking for ways to repay more than $1 million taken from the city’s golf enterprise fund during the past several years that was moved to three other city funds.
The City Council’s decision late Wednesday was based on a partially completed audit released by the Harvey Rose Accountancy Corp. earlier this month.
The auditors found that all money in each of the city’s 24 funds was accounted for. But it showed that several inter-fund loans were made without the consent or knowledge of past councils, and without proper documentation, including the transfer of more than $1 million from the city’s golf course enterprise fund to its sewer service, workers’ compensation and Chautauqua Hall funds.
Well some suggestions I’ve heard:
More metered parking.
Turn the shoreline into an RV park.
Nude 2007 City Council Calendars.
Tax churches.
Tax real estate transfers.
More than $1 million was transferred from Pacific Grove’s golf enterprise fund to three other city funds, according to a partial audit report released this month.
Among other issues, the report by the Harvey Rose Accountancy Corp. focused on fund-to-fund loans, specifically more than $1 million of golf course enterprise money loaned to three other city funds as of June 30, 2003.
Hear-old reported it as 2005 – a serious error.
Harold Winkenwerder, 81, and Jeanett Winkenwerder, 77, were pronounced dead at the scene after an eastbound pickup collided with their car shortly after 3 p.m. The accident occurred east of Monte Del Lago near Cathedral Oak Road
Officers said that for reasons still under investigation, the 2002 Chevrolet truck, driven by Robby Robinson, 30, of Morgan Hill, veered into the westbound lane, striking the Winkenwerders’ vehicle.
P.G. Couple Killed In Crash On Highway 156
Pacific Grove police say they pulled a 16-year-old Marina boy out of a burning vehicle that he crashed early this morning while fleeing officers.
The car crashed through a guard-rail along Recreation Trail and continued over a rock edge near Ocean View Boulevard and Fountain Avenue, officers said.
The teen received minor injuries and was booked into Monterey County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of auto theft, evading a peace officer, driving under the influence and driving without a license.
Dennis Lee Dumas, 45, of Cathedral City, was booked into Monterey County jail on charges of carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon, felony vandalism and possession of stolen property. Police said Dumas called for the taxi cab from a bar in Monterey. After Dumas was taken to Grove Acres in Pacific Grove about 11:20 p.m., the driver asked for his fare, whereupon police said Dumas took the driver’s flashlight and began beating him in the head.

So, who is candidate David Dilworth and does he really live in PG? He touts honest government, but it sure looks like something is hiding…
First, he’s always at council meetings with his single topic of open government, hug the trees, etc. In all the meetings I have watched him speak at I’ve never heard him say he is from Pacific Grove. His non-profit lists a 624 (Carmel) prefix and a Carmel PO Box..
David’s sites are pretty minimal, looks like 1996 vintage Geocities. Wonder how much HOPE pays Dilworth for those bad copy/pasted web pages?
His businesses – Sometimes known as Common Sense Software here shown as “Dilworth Software & Web Design”, also uses the same Carmel phone & address:
Another Dilworth for-profit, using the same resources at the non-profit:
Searching the web comes back Carmel, Carmel and more Carmel, check the web domain register for the for profit photo business. Whoaaaa! The makings of a TRUE conspiracy – registered to David bilworth?
The seat-hopeful’s campaign site – oooh – same mistake, same Carmel address and phone number..
OK, OK. Dil comes out and puts a PG address of 166 17 Mile Drive as his home:
Wait!! That’s the raccoon hugger ex-councilman Terrance Zito’s address!! What’s going on here???
Sound like open honest leadership??
Is the man another constant runner/loser kook? Touts free Internet and free cable TV. The city can’t even keep the sewers flowing and he wants taxpayers to support free to all TV and Internet.
No Cost? Who pays for the infrastructure? Who pays for the power to keep the cable system working? Who pays the workers that maintain it? Cable TV and Internet is not a non-profit. It’s a business that expects to make money from it’s investments.
And city dictated franchises are out. It’s statewide now thanks to AT&T.
Affordability is not the issue. It’s that there is nobody in PG’s vacation homes that cares to see city council meetings or subscribe to cable TV. (few people care to watch public access altogether, but that’s another story)
So, lets solve hunger by making Trader Joe’s give free food to everyone. Force ‘Sustainable Pacific Grove’ to generate enough power to give everyone free electricity. Free water. Ban Cars. Replace buses with horse and buggies. Remove all the evil petrochemical asphalt and return to dirt roads. Uh huh, like it’s 1985 again, and the weird candidates are back.
To be sure, nothing in Monterey causes sleep deprivation more consistently than crows, except the clamor of the mindless auto and motorcycle races at Laguna Seca. Geniuses like Schopenhauer detested noise and wrote essays about how maddening it was to intellectuals and nappers like he and I.
Why do we have such a great population of these dirty, noisy, scavenger birds? I suspect it’s because they have no natural predators to chew them into pieces. Hawks, owls, vultures and eagles appear about as frequently as pterodactyls. So crows go about their nasty ways with full license, willfully murdering sweet birds such as finches, robins and sparrows whose numbers are declining. How can we stop this occupation and genocide?
Aw, I like the gameful interaction between the crows, jays and squirrels. The noise of animal life is preferable to the power tools, yard blowers and stupid barking dogs.
