Stolen Property Recovered In Traffic Stop
Pacific Grove police found $10,000 in stolen computer equipment Friday in the trunk of a car driven by a Marina man during a traffic stop in the 2800 block of David Avenue.
Jeremy Cullen, 26, was driving without a license and with an open can or bottle containing alcohol when police stopped him at 12:30 p.m., Cmdr. Tom Uretsky said.
Police searched the car and found the trunk filled with stolen computer equipment linked to two separate burglaries in Pacific Grove earlier this month. Cullen was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property, Uretsky said.
Miniature Golf Opens At ATC As Other Shops Close
Oceans 18, a Monterey Bay-themed course — complete with sea otter and sea lion obstacles and a swirling starfish in place of the traditional toy windmill — is scheduled to open in early May.
While one of the three buildings that comprise the Tin Cannery is filled with tenants, a second building is about half vacant, Grimm said. In 2000, The Herald reported that the center had 40 shops. There are now 25, Grimm said.
As outlet tenants leave, the plan is to bring in more entertainment and fitness-related businesses, casual dining spots, and maybe even a microbrewery and a cafe to tie the American Tin Cannery closer to the tourist- and family-oriented Cannery Row, Grimm said.

PG’s High Tech Parking Meters
This story was on CNet shortly after a local newspaper reported it. I walked down to the ATC and took a few pictures of Pacific Grove’s first ever parking meters. This ain’t like Hooterville I grew up in. There are 5 stoplights in town – all on the same street, Forest Avenue. All the parking downtown is timed, the parking by the beach is also timed. Seems that the meters were installed without some of the proper permitting, causing one citizen to blow the whistle and have the meters covered. But today they operate, and ring up more money.
The meters are installed only on streets surrounding the American Tin Cannery Outlet Mall. One large block consisting of Ocean View, Sloat, Dewey and Eardley. Google Map, click to see. They are also on Ocean view behind Nob Hill Foods, but the city limit is in the middle of the block, when you step over to Monterey, the meters turn to normal.
Sensor wires embedded in road.
The sensor wires are similar to the ones that control traffic signals, wires embedded into the street, feeding a signal to the meters to determine when a car leaves, and then resets the remaining time to zero.

A car with 12 minutes left on the meter pulled away, and it reset, putting it to EXPIRED.
Here’s a whole street of empty spaces
This was taken on Sunday, July 10. We have the MotoGP Motorcycle races in town that should be bringing thousands of visitors. Where are they parking?
Not parking just beyond Dewey Street
After Dewey Street, the ocean side of the road is too narrow and is a resident only permit parking area.
Those in search of free parking are just steps away.
Just after Second Street the parking is free, all it takes is a 2 block walk to the Fish Jail
There’s a trail that takes you to the Aquarium. Stay off the trail at night.
P.G. Senior Housing Lottery List Invalidated
City Manager Jim Colangelo issued a press release Friday saying the nonprofit developer, Gilroy-based South County Housing, made mistakes when it held a lottery to decide the order of priority for 273 applicants vying for 48 units in the Vista Point Apartments at 650 Jewell Ave.
“They said ‘We did it, we messed up,'” Colangelo said.
Biggs said it was not clear if the list for all 48 units had to be re-drawn, or just the 13 local-plus slots, but said South County Housing promised it would be sorted out early next week.
“The best thing is to do a new drawing and follow the process,” Biggs said.
P.G. Newspaper Publisher Pleads No Contest In Sex Assault Case
McRee also published a Gazette paper P.G.
The former publisher of the Marina Gazette pleaded no contest Friday to sexually assaulting two women in the newspaper’s offices in 2001 and 2003.
Jaryd Cade McRee, 61, entered what is called a “West plea,” agreeing the evidence against him would likely have resulted in a guilty verdict at trial, according to defense attorney Susan Chapman. He was scheduled to go to trial Monday on charges including forcible rape, false imprisonment, sexual battery and other sexual conduct by restraint.

P.G. May Sell Old Bath House Restaurant
The Pacific Grove City Council will consider plans to sell the Old Bath House building at its next meeting on Wednesday.
The Old Bath House restaurant closed Nov. 6, after a 30-year run as one of the city’s most recognizable eateries.
At its Feb. 15 council meeting, the city reviewed proposals in closed session for the city-owned property at 620 Ocean View Blvd. At the time, City Manager James Colangelo said the council was still considering several leasing proposals for the site, which previously housed the restaurant.
Now the council is said to be unanimous in support of selling the property or offering a lease with an option to buy.
More Vacancies, Fewer Applicants For City Panels
Applications for city commissions, boards and committees are half what they were a year ago, a problem exacerbated by city foot-dragging in filling vacant seats.
The number of board applicants dropped this year from 51 to 25.
Of those, only 18 appointments were recently recommended by the mayor to the City Council, despite the fact that several committees have long-standing vacancies.
Well, no one with a second/vacation home in PG would be interested, most of the better qualified residents have jobs to go to. That leaves us with retired teachers and Bay Area refugees.
Naked Kayker Dies Off Otter Point
The nude body recovered off Otter Cove in Pacific Grove on Monday morning has been identified as that of Kenneth Robert Burrell of Sacramento, police said Tuesday.
Burrell, 55, had parked his vehicle near Lovers Point sometime late Sunday afternoon and launched his kayak from Lovers Point Beach, said police Cmdr. Darius Engles.
There are lots of places to bathe in the buff, but the icy waters off PG are not the best one of them.
