Put the dogs down
Calvin, a large cat who was well known to everyone at Robert Down Elementary School, was in the driveway of the house where he lives on 13th Street when two Siberian huskies attacked him. Calvin was seriously injured in the attack and underwent surgeries to try to bring him back to health.
The owner of the huskies, Carolina Shea, was issued a notice to appear in court on a citation for dogs at large,
The Pine Avenue work has been discussed at P.G. traffic commission and city council meetings for more than five years.
But the four-way stop will be something that drivers will have to get used to.
“We are going to have to make sure that the public now knows there is a four-way stop at Congress,” Gho said.
Good luck with that. People don’t stop on Congress where stop signs have been for decades.
Four Way Stop Coming To Pine & Congress
Not everyone’s pleased, though. The rainbow flags — which the city is flying in place of the city flag at the police station — have annoyed some citizens, including Larry Esquivel, who sent a letter to the city council this week.
“I have nothing against the flying of the LGBTQ flag,” Esquivel said, “but it should not be on the same pole as the United States flag. It can be on a separate pole or on the wall of the building.” Esquivel, a retired reserve Pacific Grove Fire captain and police officer and Vietnam veteran, said the stars and stripes “means a lot” to him and others, including military veterans.
The word “united,” he said, “means all of us; race, sex, religion and so on.” Esquivel also cautioned displaying the pride flag “just to make a statement.” Doing so, he said, could open the door for “NRA, KKK, religious, Confederate” and other flags to be flown at city hall
The more ‘consignment shops’ you have, the bigger chance of being defrauded.

A mountain lion made an appearance in Pacific Grove over the weekend. When officers responded to a call of a sighting, the beast made a break for it and was last seen running up the street in the Del Monte Park neighborhood, bordered by Buena Vista and Benito avenues, in P.G.
On Sunday afternoon, P.G. police were notified of a mountain lion sighted in the backyard of a residence. Officers responded and were shown a picture that was taken of the lion by the reporting party. According to the P.G. police, while officers were checking the surrounding property, the reporting party saw the lion run up the street.

A group of Jehovah’s Witnesses that rented property in
Pacific Grove for nearly 50 years is suing its landlords, alleging they broke the terms of a longstanding agreement by not allowing it to purchase the property.The congregation contends that in March, the owners in-
formed them they had decided to sell the property for $1 million cash.
While the Jehovah’s Witnesses said they would purchase it,
the owners sold it to Hayward Lumber instead.

And badges! Don’t leave out the badges.
Councilwoman Jenny McAdams, who was elected last fall, said the current pay, “unless you’re retired and wealthy,” is a “deterrent” to those considering running for office.
A 100 percent raise would cost taxpayers an additional $43,680 annually, the city said.
The council also weighed the idea of giving members medical benefits and cell phone stipends.
No mentions of all the silly eco-features of the Bella Fella
“The design will incorporate the existing building,” Geiler said. “The plan will also have 20,000 square feet of retail, very similar to the San Francisco Ferry Building.”
An earlier 160-room hotel project dubbed “Project Bella” came apart at the seams after launching in 2015 by developers Domaine Hospitality Partners. In February 2017 the permit for that project expired leaving the city of Pacific Grove in the lurch for more than $100,000 worth of expenses only partially recovered from the developers, according to a Civil Grand Jury report issued in July of last year.
Up to the point of failure, the project had cost nearly $250,000 plus the cost of a $31,000 investigation. Domaine Hospitality reimbursed the city roughly $180,000 of that.
Pacific Grove was the subject of severe criticism in the Grand Jury report, accusing it of moving ahead “without proper due diligence,” the report read.
Just 7 years in prison for that. Shame.
On the day of the crash, Stewart Napier was driving near the Eighth Street overpass in Marina when he “looked down for a lighter, and when he looked back up, he saw the victim’s brake lights and collided with him, causing the victim’s car to swerve off the road and burst into flames,”
“It was a heroin-methamphetamine case at rush hour on a road you and I travel all the time,” she said. “This is an example of the dangerousness of controlled substances vs alcohol and how they all intertwine. He’s a young man from P.G. driving on Highway 1 impaired, and he rear ends Mr. Acona, who dies. It’s tragic.”
Napier also pleaded guilty May 28 to assault likely to cause great bodily harm for a March 4 fight with another inmate at the Monterey County Jail, where he has been lodged since his arrest last December.
Won’t see this nonsense in Oregon.
The sea lion population has steadily increased in the last several decades, but it has come with a cost, one being paid by already imperiled stocks of steelhead and salmon.
“The steelhead have a 90 percent extinction risk if nothing changes,” says Shaun Clements, a biologist and senior policy analyst with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Which is why Oregon has taken the drastic step of actively culling – segregating and euthanizing – certain individual sea lions.
