Was only a greens keeper out to get the gophers…
At around 8:30 a.m., a beachcomber reported spotting a suspicious device that looked like two pipe bombs taped together at the base of a 40-foot cliff near the 9th hole at Pebble Beach, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Monterey County sheriff’s bomb squad went to the scene, examined the device, and rendered it safe.
Battle began when the meters around the fish jail went up. Meters or signs not both..
Under the plan, the parking spaces would be limited to residents or to two-hour stays during the daytime. Burgess said that would protect residents, provide visitor parking and deter all-day parking by employees from the aquarium or other nearby businesses.
In the meantime, the city will have to comply with its current permit and put bags over residents-only parking signs.
“We talked to the neighbors last week, and they understand the need,” Burgess said. “We will be bagging those signs.”
Resistance if futile, your privacy will be invaded.
Pacific Grove Police were called out to Wednesday’s city council meeting, expecting a riot about SmartMeters. The police presence caught many people off guard in the quiet town.
“I was surprised,” says Jerry Norton. “It seems to represent a different kind of attitude.”
Norton lives in Pacific Grove.He’s talking about the two armed police officers. One guarded the front door, the other was inside the packed council meeting.
NIMBYs that move in next to a ball park want peaceful use of the property. Make the kids and families go elsewhere and all you are left with is the tourists.
Baseball and softball coaches, players and parents argued successfully for the changes, saying children needed a facility for play and such fields are in short supply.
Saturday games were curtailed by the city after complaints about late-night adult games, alcohol use, litter, lights and noise, but Mothershead said city permit requirements could control the problem.
Among neighbors opposed to Saturday use was Margo Gurs, who said that “in the absence of strict rules, a neighborhood can be ruined.” She said residents have a right to peaceful use of their property.
Skip the salad, just bring me the steak please.
A Northern California company has voluntarily recalled products sold at supermarkets across the West because they could contain contaminated broccoli. Tracy-based Taylor Farms Pacific announced the recall this week after a random test by agricultural officials came up positive for the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Sounds to me like the politician didn’t get enough campaign contributions from the “massive corporations”.
“Taxes shouldn’t be a tool for social engineering, or an instrument to penalize people for doing nothing wrong,” said J. Justin Wilson, a research analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Consumer Freedom, in a statement posted on the group’s website.
While Monning admits part of his goal is to change consumer behavior, he refuted the social engineering argument.
“The real social engineering is the massive corporate advertising that targets young people,” Monning said. “It’s open season on young people to market these beverages.”
Instant idiot, just add alcohol.
Police arrived at a residence on 19th Street in Pacific Grove late Feb. 20 to find a woman “outside crying hysterically,” with blood on her chin and shirt, P.G. Police Cmdr. John Nyunt said Tuesday. The woman had called police, telling them her 29-year-old boyfriend, Andrew Scheiber, who is also he father of her child, had beaten her.
They had been drinking, and the fight stemmed from an argument they had about a family member while preparing for dinner, according to Nyunt. In addition, “he allegedly tried to force her to drink some beer,” he said. “She didn’t want to drink it, so he was forcing it down her throat.”
Man Arrested For Beating Woman & Tried To Force Her To Drink Beer
Pacific Grove Lane resident James Long and his son have a lengthy history of fighting, Nyunt said, and officers have been called to their home on multiple occasions. The altercation leading to the arrest began Feb. 17, when the two started arguing and threatening each other.
“The dad told him he had one minute to pack his bags, or he would throw his belongings out of the house. The son got mouthy with him, and they got into a fight,”
Nyunt pointed out parents who have trouble with their kids should take advantage of resources, such as counseling, rather than acting out against them. “Even though your kid is unruly, you can’t just say, ‘Get out of here — I’m not going to take care of you,’” he said. “You can’t just abandon your kid.”
So, who is Miller referring to in that last sentence?
Five of seven council members, though, said the ordinance had too many bugs, including that it placed too much burden on employers and was not easily enforceable.
“I see that we want to protect individuals … it’s our obligation,” councilman Ken Cuneo said at the meeting. “I don’t know if by adding another layer of law it will make anybody safer in doing so.”
However, Miller told The Pine Cone this week that he and Garcia, both of whom voted for the ordinance last week, haven’t given up on it yet.
Miller told the council why he and Garcia drew up the ordinance, which he said would help officials “protect people who can’t protect themselves.”
“The reason this came up is for years there was somebody in town,” Miller explained, “who I knew factually would ask for identification for purchase of alcohol … and show up at their houses after taking their addresses from their driver’s license.”
If HIPAA rules do not apply to marijuana sellers, how can it be legally called a medicinal drug?
“He opens up a HIPPA labeled file,” says Jhonrico Carrnshimba, a MyCaregiver director. “He sees a number of files in it at this point they should close the file. They shouldn’t have these files open.”
But, Fred Cohn from the City of Monterey defends their actions.
“Medical marijuana establishments are not governed by HIPAA,” says Cohn. “The only reason that those records were compromised is because they continued to operate illegally against the court order.”
