Can Dogs Read Pictographs?

Pooping pooches have been warned.

Now I wonder what happens when P.G. bans plastic bags? What can people use to pick up the poop with, free copies of the Cedar St Bull**iten?

No Smoking Dogs

Pacific Grove Police Chief Vicki Myers said if you’re caught letting your dog use your neighbor’s lawn as a restroom, you can be issued a citation. It can also cost you hundreds of dollars in fines.

To curb the problem, residents are posting signs from PG Hardware alerting pet owners to not allow their pets to use their front lawns as a restroom.

Tourist Gets Dinghy, Spends Cold Night In Bay

T-Shirts showcasing this dingy act should be available soon at Walmart.

The 45-year-old tourist from San Diego was visiting Pacific Grove when she decided she wanted to watch Tuesday’s sunset from a dinghy in the middle of the Monterey Bay.

She was one and a half miles offshore when her dinghy’s motor failed at 6:30 p.m., and the dinghy began losing air.

The woman spent the night partially submerged in the ocean as frigid water temperatures dropped to the low 50s.

A fisherman found her alive at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday and alerted the Coast Guard.

Fruit Cheese Wants More P.G. Money To Spend

Without oversight.

A council report says the $15,000 limit has been in effect since 1984 and probably earlier than that. The buying power of $15,000 in 1984 now exceeds when can be purchased with $35,000 today due to inflation, the report says.

There is a great range in purchasing limits in other cities, generally with higher limits in bigger cities with bigger budgets.

“The proposed limit of $35,000 is consistent with the practice of many other cities of our approximate size,” City Manager Thomas Frutchey says in the council report.

This Week Nader Sues . .

His P.R. Firm

Are there leaders of Pacific Grove still in favor of this relationship with him? Happens often when Nadir gets involved.

Attorney Chris Cayce, who represents Agha in the lawsuit, said Armanasco used the confidential information, protected by a confidentiality agreement, to help Deep Water Desal essentially copy Agha’s plans for a desal plant in Moss Landing, now known as the People’s Moss Landing Desal Project.

Golf Course Grille Burglars Interrupted

Cops stopped chasing because of reckless driving. Like there is anyone else on the road in P.G. at one in the morning?

between 12:30 and 12:45 a.m. Monday at Point Pinos Grill, and an officer found the suspects’ vehicle while conducting a business check.

The suspects drove off as the patrol car approached, and the officer pursued them but discontinued because of the driver’s extremely reckless driving.

The vehicle was found abandoned on the 600 block of Gibson Avenue, with some property taken from the restaurant in it.

The registered owner was contacted and was unaware the SUV had been stolen

Battle Over A Tree

On Wood street.

The removal plan was appealed by Gibson Avenue residents Saschja and Peter Marseguerra, who say the tree is “a unique and beautiful wonder of nature that we should respect, not kill.”

An arborist hired by a neighboring property owner concluded that removing the tree seemed “the most logical choice,” but said it could be preserved with pruning, support and annual monitoring.

A resident whose home is under the tree, in an email, called upon the city to remove the tree for safety reasons. A couple who live a few homes away wrote that the tree, if deemed truly dangerous, should be removed, but it would be best to save it if possible.

I know, move the tree to the yard where it can be respected.

Future Of The Presidio Looks Like The Rest Of Our Military Bases

The Presidio in it’s pre-World War II state
Presidio Pre WWII

Cuts are most likely coming to the Presidio of Monterey but no one knows how deep they will be. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday announced a plan to cut the Army to its pre-World War II size. He also called for a new round of base closings in 2017.

Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, had yet to release a statement as of Monday night. Several Republicans in Congress spoke out about what they felt were flaws in the plan.

Life was better before Sam the Sham. But what can you do? I thought that the entire military structure should have moved to Fort Ord and put the college at DLI.

Pacific Grove Gets A Temporary Police Commander

Pacific Grove, what the heck

PGPD Help Wanted

Cassie McSorley, who retired last July from the Salinas department after 30 years in law enforcement, has taken the job on a full-time but temporary basis while Pacific Grove searches for a permanent hire.

Although there are two vacant commander positions in Pacific Grove, Police Chief Vicki Myers plans to convert one of them to a civilian manager position to save money, McSorley said.

The department has been without a commander since Cmdr. John Miller left for a job with another Northern California police agency several weeks ago.

McSorley said she was “very much enjoying” her retirement but wanted to help out. “I thought what the heck, Pacific Grove is a great city.”

Retired Police Brought In To Fill Vacancies

Filling in for cops that left for greener beats. Does no one see the point of being a cop in P.G. is not the same as being a cop in say, Watsonville and notice that it’s a good thing?

Cassie McSorley, who retired last July from the Salinas department after 30 years in law enforcement, has taken the job on a full-time but temporary basis while Pacific Grove searches for a permanent hire.

McSorley said she was “very much enjoying” her retirement but wanted to help out. “I thought what the heck, Pacific Grove is a great city.”

With its beautiful shoreline and a much lower crime rate than Salinas, McSorley said she’s enjoying the change.
