At a March 5 P.G. City Council meeting, numerous volunteers who help protect the seals urged the city to install bigger fencing to protect them. But before they even spoke, city

Jacob Miller, of Pacific Grove, was sentenced Tuesday to consecutive terms of 365 days, 30 days and 30 days for a probation violation, two counts of possession of stolen property and methadone possession.
He was also sentenced to three years’ formal probation, related fines and fees, and 200 hours of community service.
Miller was arrested in January on drugs, weapons and burglary charges. He was initially accused of burglarizing the Asimolar Conference Grounds, but 28-year-old Wesley Langkamp, of Monterey, confessed to the crimes in early April.
The burglary counts and the remaining misdemeanors were dismissed Tuesday in court.
At least he did not call his lost cell phone in hopes of getting it back like Sean Conners
A Pacific Grove man stabbed by a homeowner who interrupted him during a burglary will be sentenced to 34 years and eight months in prison, prosecutors said Monday.
Raymond Gutosky, 57, pleaded guilty on Friday to burglary charges after having two previous burglary convictions in Los Angeles, officials said.
Around 9 a.m. on July 11, 2013, Gutosky entered a home after he watched the homeowner and his wife drive away.
The owner returned about 10 minutes later and found Gutosky stealing his wife’s jewelry. Armed with a knife, the owner ordered Gutosky to stay until police arrived.
But Gutosky fought back and was “pummeling” his victim, prosecutors said, until the owner stabbed Gutosky, severely wounding him.
Gutosky stumbled outside, got into a car and drove away, leaving behind his cell phone, which he likely lost during the struggle, officials said.

The council, at its Wednesday meeting, rejected an appeal filed against the Sea Breeze Lodge expansion after it had been approved on a divided Planning Commission vote in March.
Appellants Roxanne and Adiba Mahroom contended the proposed addition of six units, on top of three approved in 2002 but never built, should have been reviewed under the state Environmental Quality Act. They also argued the city wrongfully approved water for the project before it was considered by the Planning Commission.
City planners said the addition to the 30-unit Lighthouse Avenue motel was a minor project exempt from the Environmental Quality Act.

The animals will get first rate care, what about the people living in the house?
A small historic home in Pacific Grove was declared uninhabitable Wednesday after authorities found it crammed with dogs and cats in “shocking” conditions, the SPCA for Monterey County said.
The house was cluttered with piles of clothing, trash and garage, along with feces and urine, the SPCA said.
There were 18 dogs, including four small puppies, locked in three small back rooms. The stench of ammonia from urine was so strong that fire officials recommended that animal rescuers use protective gear.
Two cats were also taken from the home in the 400 block of Fountain Avenue.
