Just got around to checking out the shoreline on a clear November day and noted the progress of the plaque placement for the John Denver Memorial near the crash site. 
Don’t forget the faction of Angry Old Farts that don’t want to have it there. They must be preparing a lawsuit of their own..
A settlement that would have given former Pacific Grove Mayor Morrie Fisher a lifetime discount on playing fees at the city’s municipal golf course has been unanimously rejected by the Pacific Grove City Council.
City Attorney David Laredo brought the settlement, reached through mediation out of court, to the council Nov. 5 and the council appeared receptive at the time. Laredo said both parties agreed that pursuing Fisher’s lawsuit to recover his free golf wasn’t worth the potential expense, and that settlement would allow city officials to concentrate on more pressing business.
On Tuesday, the City Council approved placing directional signs that would route motorists on Ocean View Boulevard up to Lighthouse Avenue so they could travel through “historic downtown Pacific Grove” on their way to the fabled drive.
The sign would have eastbound drivers hang a left at 17th Street, go up to Lighthouse and turn right, rather than simply go straight and follow Jewell or Pacific avenues to 17-Mile Drive.
Looks like the first plan to send them up Grand fizzled. And what happened here long ago that makes it so historic anyway?
But really. The Pebble Bound tourists are more likely to follow the shoreline to see the true beauty of P.G. What is better to see and stop to look at?
The coastline that is often called “The Poor Man’s 17 Mile Drive”
Or do the really want the Tourist Trappings like junkyard garbage,
. . and rusty yard decor.
What would you choose?
Possibilities has possibly packed up, padlocked and parted.

Illnesses reported by Monterey Peninsula residents after September’s spraying to combat the light brown apple moth likely weren’t caused by CheckMate products, according to a study released Friday.
Findings released Friday by the Department of Pesticide Regulation suggest that exposure to a high dose of airborne CheckMate microcapsule particles could cause eye, skin or respiratory irritation. But the report said that the application of the product over Monterey County was extremely low, and it is unlikely the low levels could result in health problems.
The application of pheromones that took place was done at rates that fell below the proposed rate of 20 grams of active ingredient per acre, the report states.
A memorial bench is at the crime scene.
A judge Thursday ruled there will be separate trials for Soledad brothers charged with the 1997 murder of Monterey High School student Kristopher Olinger, in part because one of the brothers allegedly confessed to the crime.
A jogger found Olinger’s body on the Pacific Grove Recreation Trail on Sept. 19, 1997, the morning after the 17-year-old set out to complete a late-night school photo assignment.
He was beaten and stabbed more than 24 times, and thrown over a cliff along the trail, before he dragged himself back to a turnout where he was found.

About 2:40 p.m., Coast Guard officials arrived at the scene to find another boat had already fished the three people out of the water and was in the middle of towing the submerged sailboat to a buoy. Coast Guard Petty Officer Matt Brown said no injuries were reported and strong winds may have been a factor in the incident.

A traditionally slow Big Sur Half-Marathon weekend got even worse for businesses at the Breakwater Cove Marina on Saturday.
“If it was any other Saturday, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you because it would be too busy,” Leny Rapisarda said. “This isn’t just about us. It’s the kayak shop and the dive shop and the entire Monterey waterfront that gets shut down for the entire weekend. It’s not so much about the marathon, it’s about the way the city handles it.”
Why is it called the Big Sur Half-Marathon? It’s not in Big Sur, no where near. Since it’s on a slow weekend and only half shouldn’t it be called the Not In Big Sur Half Fast Marathon?

A 59-year-old Pebble Beach woman was arrested tonight on suspicion of striking her 80-year-old husband, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said.
About 9 p.m., the pair became involved in an altercation at their home at San Carlos and Broncho roads in Pebble Beach, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Both wife and husband received bruises to their arms, but deputies determined the woman was the primary aggressor and arrested her. They also requested that a criminal complaint of spousal abuse by the husband be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office.
The names of the couple were not released.
