KAZU Radio Host Murdered Wife
Guy himself died in 2002.
Last week, a Massachusetts prosecutor announced that his office determined that Terry’s killer was her husband, Guy Rockwell Muldavin. In the 1980s, Muldavin hosted a popular three-hour weekly radio show, “Talk to Me,” on KAZU radio in Pacific Grove.
In 1985, a reporter for The Californian newspaper featured Muldavin and his radio show. “During the show, Muldavin draws on his experiences and conversations with
other people to deal with topics such as cuts in Social Security, Alzheimer’s disease and feelings about old people having sex,” the article said.
Muldavin was also the prime suspect in the murder of a previous wife and Stepdaughter in Seattle in the 1960s, according to the Associated Press. Those murders have not been solved, however.
Child Molesting In P.G. Church
Sicko
On Aug. 31, Pacific Grove Police officers arrested Jason Alexander Cline, 26, at his Spreckels home on suspicion of annoying and molesting two young girls.
Between Aug. 1, 2022, and May 31 of this year, the complaint says Cline kissed Doe 1 twice, touched her breasts and genitals and put the girl ‘s hands on his genitals, while he’s accused of performing general lewd and lascivious acts on Doe 2, the complaint says.
An online resume indicates that since January Cline has been employed as a social media manager for the Peninsula Monterey Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Cultural Proficiency Takes Precedence For Teachers
Grading practices? In the 1970s it was pass ’em all regardless of the child’s ability to prove they were educated.
Oh, and having the DEI people on board can’t be a good sign.
Included in the ongoing cultural proficiency training for PGUSD staff, he said, are “instructional materials that represent diverse and “culturally proficient instructional strategies and grading practices.”
The district invited members of the city’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to attend the board meeting to listen in on the topic.
PGUSD’s invitation to members of the DEI Task Force this week comes after the task force’s vice chair, Nadja Mark, was accused of comparing a seemingly noncontroversial online comment by a citizen and member of the city’s economic development commission to the work of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
That comment and other remarks Mark made on social media violated the city’s code of conduct, which prohibits members of city commissions and committees from making negative comments, including on social media, that could offend members of the public, and compels them to “show tolerance and respect other party’s opinions.”

Otters and sea lions beware. The more we welcome and protect the prey, the more hunters we will get.
