Stumbled on this on Saturday. Never read or heard a thing about it. Not many people there, mostly owners of the cool cars.

Globalism Setting In: Holman Highway Roundabout
How can these things work in our liberal area? No Left Turns, only turn right?
The agency says the Holman Highway roundabout project will be built to relieve congestion near Holman Highway and Highway 1 while also improving access to Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach and Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. The project is a public-private partnership between the city of Monterey, Pebble Beach Co., TAMC, Monterey County, Caltrans and the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District.
Anti Haters Hate On Trump And Lose Gig
P.G. authors pen a book that shows a dislike of republicans’ ideas and get fired from an R.V. Association. Most RVs in that association must be of the 6 figure luxury slide out variety and not the used up school bus of crispy critters kind.
Baker said the group suspended the Herzogs’ media tour on June 29. The decision was “difficult,” but the organization’s principals are “nonpartisan” on both federal and state levels.
Baker said the organization has to focus on building and maintaining positive working relationships on both sides of the aisle on legislative and regulatory issues
“As spokespersons for (RVIA), the Herzogs’ decision to merchandise a book that does not meet the nonpartisan position of our organization distracted from our core values of political neutrality,” said Baker in the statement.
The Herzogs were shocked by the decision. They were five days into a 50-day media tour when the news hit.
Ice Cream Shoppe Owner Still Full Of Hate
Gary Ozuna allegedly called the customer a “Nazi Redneck Bitch”. And I wonder if he has a license to play copyrighted material in public?
“I politely said, ‘$26 seems like an awful lot to me, are you sure that is correct?’” Raph said.
Ozuna calculated the amount again and came up with the same figure. “He said ‘Yep, $26. That’s what it is,’” according to Raph.“I said, ‘OK, at these prices it would be really nice to get a local’s discount because we have lived here for 20 years,” said Raph, 54. “I didn’t think it was too much to mention.”
With Led Zeppelin music playing on the shop’s speakers in the background, Raph said, Ozuna responded by saying,
‘Well, you can thank George Bush and Dick Cheney, the Nazis, for that,’” she recounted.
PG High Teacher Ken Ottmar Given 45 Day Notice
Jocks. Sheeshe.
Ottmar, who worked as a sports reporter for the Monterey Herald until 2008, began working for the high school that same year.
In the nine-page letter, district administrators describe misconduct that dates back to his early years at the school. The allegations say that he described his private life and sexual fantasies to students, that he left students unsupervised, that he allowed students to drive his children using his car, that he came to classes smelling of alcohol, that he allowed students to consume alcohol at his home, that he held inappropriate meetings with female students, that he displayed favoritism toward certain female students, and that he made inappropriate and sexually suggestive comments to female students.
New PG Police Chief Chosen
Morro Bay chief Amy Christey takes the hot seat at PGPD.
“Chief Christey’s hands-on approach to community policing, her emphasis on customer service, her understanding of the needs of a small-town coastal community and her track record as a team player makes her a terrific fit for our Police Department, the municipal organization and the community,” Harvey said.
Vicki Myers served as Pacific Grove’s police chief before Belcher took over on an interim basis in December 2015. She served in a dual role as chief of Pacific Grove and Seaside from 2012 until Pacific Grove terminated its contract with Seaside pertaining to Myers running its police department in September 2015 and gave her a 90-day notice.
Tom Frutchey, who has since left his role as Pacific Grove city manager, told The Herald last year that the split was fairly amicable. He cited two “no-confidence” votes by the Pacific Grove police union and a citywide survey that found residents would like to keep its own separate police department as reasons for the city moving on from Myers.
Surfer Rescues Kayaker At Asilomar
Tyler Scheid from Carmel is the hero.
As Scheid paddled out, the kayaker tried to reach shore but the kayak capsized. Scheid said he paddled over to the man, got him on his surfboard and paddled to shore.
Scheid said the man told him he had been out on the water overnight because he couldn’t make it through the surf to shore. Fire department personnel gave him aid. Scheid said the man was hypothermic and dehydrated.
PG$E Changing Streetlights To Bright LEDs
Remember these tall majestic street lights?
Constant state of change. Last switch was from the sodium vapor to magnet induction where we traded orange tint for more radio frequency emitting into the air.
Who pays for the fragile year round tree lights? Mayor says “we” replaced the blue tinged ones as soon as people complained.
The LED lights I see are narrow-beamed. Is the spacing of the lights being taken into consideration?
See the examples at:
- 515 Junipero Ave
- 77 Asilomar Bl
- Forest Grove school
While Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe acknowledged the lights’ greater efficiency, he also noted that complaints about LEDs usually center around the uncomfortable colors some of them have.
“There are LEDs of all colored variance,” said Kampe. “So it doesn’t mean that if you’ve seen one you didn’t like, you won’t like others. There are different color temperatures.”
Kampe cited the LED lights draped over and lining the trees in the center of Lighthouse Avenue in downtown Pacific Grove as an example. When they were initially installed, residents complained they were too blue.
“We took them down and put up a different LED light — a softer light that was more suitable,” he said.
For his part, Kampe’s biggest complaint was that PG&E hadn’t done its research in terms of what lights are suitable for different places in the city.
“They’re bringing a one-size-fits-all program and haven’t done research as to what lights might be better,” said Kampe, noting that in residential areas, softer lights are generally used while busier, more commercial areas generally require brighter lights.
Pacific Grove’s McDonald’s Closed
Other locations are close (permanently)
Thought to be the slowest McDonald’s in the world but it held on.
In 1995, the city adopted a ban on any “formula fast food” establishments coming in, but the four existing fast-food spots were grandfathered in and allowed to remain. Today those spots are occupied by McDonald’s, Subway, Mountain Mike’s and Domino’s.
Moammar discovers the secret of PG’s business areas south of Sinex and will help kill that too, undoubtedly.
“It attracts people from different walks of life and has the most diverse group of people because it’s affordable,” said Ammar, noting the many times he’s seen the restaurant packed with senior citizens in the morning having coffee. “Last week I must have seen 18 different groups of people in there ranging from children to teens to construction workers and seniors.”
City Says Bruiser The Pig Must Go
I am surprised that he Hanes’ have not used the “emotional support animal” excuse that was used to keep a miniature horse in a residential area of town.
neighbors who live next door to Bruiser said it’s been hard to deal with stinky smells caused by the pig for the past two years.
“The smell is entering our yard and kitchen and dining area,” Ray Magsalay told city officials at a hearing held to determine the pig’s fate.
Lisa Hanes and her husband, Mark Hanes, said Magsalay, “has made this a mission to get rid of our pig.”
In January 2016, the city issued a compliance notice asking the Hanes to remove feces from their property. The Hanes said they built a pig pen and cleaned the yard more frequently.
In May, however, city officials decided that the owners are still out of compliance, and requested they get rid of their pet by June 20.
