Aint that stupid? Sending drugs in the mail.

A package containing furanyl-fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, sent through the Postal Service to a subject in Monterey was intercepted Monday. Deputies and the DEA served a two-location federal search warrant in Monterey on Tuesday and arrested Madeline Sweet, 28, and her boyfriend, Everette Cody Reed, 28. Both were taken to county jail. Sweet and Reed face up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Bruiser The Pig Forced Out Of Town

Hope no one sees my service camel.

Earlier in the public hearing the two spoke to council passionately about their pet, Bruiser, and shared a long list of myths about mini-pigs. Lisa Hanes told council that Bruiser serves as an emotional support animal for her.

City staff told the council that under the Americans with Disability Act, dogs, and in some cases, miniature horses trained to perform tasks for disabled people, are allowed as service animals. Emotional support animals could be allowed with a medical recommendation, and a determination by the city manager.

Besides pigs, the ordinance would also prohibit as pets horses, cows, sheep, goats, gulls, raccoons, deer, squirrels, geese and other “domestic, domesticated, exotic or wild animals.”

“Common household pets” like guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and rabbits would be allowed. Bees and chickens would be allowed with permits.

Doctored Pictures Not Allowed In Bruiser’s Case

Hanes said her frustration also comes from the fact that during Monday’s appeal hearing, she and her husband were not allowed to present prior evidence that Magsalay doctored photos depicting Bruiser’s excrement was worse than it was. Murdock had thrown that evidence out prior to the initial July hearing and because of that it could not be presented during Monday’s appeal, according to Hanes.

“We couldn’t say anything that wasn’t presented in that initial hearing,” said Hanes. “We had to present a case that was a joke from the beginning.”

Newcomer Akeman Wants Less Newcomers

I felt the same way 30 years ago when Ache-man the news reporter moved here and wrote articles and later an instruction manual for moving to the area. The man does not realize he’s been part of the problem all along,

“There are times it’s like living in an airport terminal,” Thom Akeman says of the sounds of rolling luggage and loud voices of vacationers on his street located near downtown. Akeman served on a subcommittee that advised the city before last year’s revision, but he says residents’ concerns were not adequately considered.

Coast Guard Faces Budget Cuts

US Coast Guard

 

With the possibility of a hobbled Coast Guard on the Central Coast, local entities that have relied on the guard in the past may have to adjust their expectations.

“We utilize them but not on a routine basis,” said Sean James, the public safety superintendent for the California State Parks’ Monterey District.

“Monterey or Pacific Grove might put in a request where the Coast Guard is not available to respond,” said James.

There might be times when the State Parks’ rescue swimmers would be called in because a Coast Guard boat was not available. Water rescues in the Cannery Row, Point Pinos and Moss Landing areas benefit from the presence of the guard close by.

Unelected Socialists Controlling What You Can Buy

Hands off my stale beer used on the snails.

A group of area activists are expected to gather at Pacific Grove’s Butterfly Sanctuary on Tuesday in defense of the birds, bees, monarchs and visitors that frequent the refuge to observe them.

They’ll be on hand for a press conference and rally starting at 3:30 p.m. in an effort to call attention to the effects of toxic pesticides and insecticides and to make a plea to local nurseries and hardware stores to remove such products from their shelves.

Shoreline Paths: You’ll Walk The Way We Want You To

Forget going off the beaten path. Makes room for the John Denver Memorial RV Park.John Denver Rv Park

On Wednesday, the city will look to approve an agreement for the construction of its Great Tide Pools Trails project. In the session right before the meeting, council members will go on a field trip to the Great Tide Pools area which is adjacent to the corner of Lighthouse Avenue and Sunset Drive. It’s in the area that Dan Gho, director of public works, refers to as the Rocky Shores area. There council members will get an overview of where the boardwalk, pathway and walkways are to be constructed.

Nothing To See Here, Move Along

Would be interesting to review the site with modern science. But what do I know? Climate Change was supposed to put the are under water 30 years ago and the Mvsevm Of Natural History is now an art gallery.

An archaeological site first discovered in the 1930s at Lovers Point and recently exposed to the elements by the fierce winter storms that hit the Peninsula, is set to be covered up again as early as this week.
covered in 1935 by a student named Anne Fisher who conducted an amateur survey around the Peninsula and noted nearly 100 archaeological sites. It has been known in the archaeological community ever since.

The Fire Station Horn by Phil Bowhay

Whenever an empty cannery was on fire, that horn seemed to be endless to me.

PG Fire One

The horn was part of the fine volunteer tradition in Pacific Grove. We all had posted in our homes the code telling the approximate location of the fire. “One, One, Three” Forest and Lighthouse, and there was a chalkboard in front of the station with the address of the blaze
