Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Garrison was working on the boat dock when he noticed and heard commotion on San Carlos Beach. A pedestrian notified Garrison of the situation, and called emergency medical services.

Garrison grabbed a first-aid kit from the station’s 47-foot Motor Lifeboat and ran to the beach.

Once on scene, Garrison found a 39-year-old female scuba diver unconscious on the beach. The diver had been pulled out of the water by fellow divers who had already commenced CPR. Garrison assumed CPR efforts and within a minute, the patient regained consciousness.

Today’s non-shopping list item: Green Onions (some people call them scallions, Joe)

A Steinbeck spokesman says the company bought the onions from Circle Produce, a Calexico-based company supplied by an onion farm in Mexicali, Mexico.

Castroville-based shipper Ocean Mist Farms recalled 1,746 cases of its green onions as well, after realizing they came from the same lot. No illnesses have been reported.,

City Employees – you’re boned. CYA people.

Pacific Grove’s newly chosen city manager was fired from his previous city administrator post in Oxnard 12 years ago for his contentious management style following complaints from former employees who said he created a “culture of fear”.

City residents – you’re boned, too. Look forward to bending over for more tourists.

Two council members at the time said “Frutchey streamlined Oxnard’s bureaucracy and helped make the city more business-friendly,” the Times said. He also had support from the president of the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce.

Swine Flu Shows Up In P.G.M.S. Student

Posted on by

Teachers Union no doubt will be asking for a raise to monitor signs of flu symptoms.

The student became sick over the weekend and the doctor faxed the school Wednesday the confirmation of a Type A influenza diagnosis. Type A influenza can be caused by different viruses, but in recent months most cases have been traced to the H1N1 virus.

Administrators at Pacific Grove Unified School District are reviewing precautions normally taken during the flu season with an increased level of awareness, said Cindy Gallo, director of student services. But despite apparent heightened concerns, only two people contacted her after she put out a statement announcing the possible case of swine flu.

P.G. Mayor Options – Who Will The Next Fool Be?

Posted on by

Do Not Want Cat

With the title of temporary mayor, Stilwell seems like a shoo-in to succeed Cort. But she says she’s not interested in the post for personal reasons.

 

Her pick for mayor is Councilman Bill Kampe. “He would be a great mayor,” she says, citing Kampe’s dedication, financial savvy, business background and time available for public service.

 

Kampe, for his part, plays modest. He says he was leaning toward appointing Stilwell mayor, but since she’s not interested, he’s willing to serve. “I’m flattered,” he says of Stilwell’s endorsement. “I got into this to serve the city as best I can.”

 

Councilwoman Lisa Bennett may be a candidate for mayor. Bennett couldn’t be reached, but she has previously told the Weekly she doesn’t plan to run for another term.
