Deer Dangerous to Drivers
Time to send in the mountain lions to help control the deer population.
When she felt the giant jolt to her car and heard the thunderous thud, Tove Andreassen’s first thought was something like, “Oh, dear.”
“Oh, deer,” would have been equally appropriate.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 150 people are killed and more than 10,000 are injured in deer accidents every year.
These figures are probably low. Deer accidents are generally under-reported, and besides, as Palmisano noted, the numbers don’t include lots of deer-related accidents.
“Sometimes drivers swerve to miss a deer and end up hitting a tree instead,” she said.

Union Members – Are They That Dumb?
A national survey released Monday by the AFL-CIO reports that 49 percent of homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages admit they do not know how their mortgage adjusts and 73 percent do not know how much their mortgage payment will be after the adjustment.
Well, they give away a part of every paycheck and probably don’t know where that goes, they tend to vote Democrat – so not being aware of their mortgage bomb aint surprising.
No Rent Increase For The Aquarium
To avoid what could be a lengthy and costly legal battle, the City of Pacific Grove is giving up the effort to get the Monterey Bay Aquarium to pay rent for the city-owned land it occupies.
“We would be fighting for years in court, even if we won, we might not be able to use the money the way we want anyway” said city manager Jim Colangelo.
That ís because Colangelo said the city could be bound by California State Lands Commission restrictions on how revenue can be generated from businesses that sit on
tidelands. The city’s intent was to use the higher rent from the aquarium for various city services, Colangelo said. About 20 percent of the aquarium complex sits in Pacific Grove, while the rest is in Monterey.

Billowing smoke from the older, one-story stucco building at 786 Pine St. could be seen from several blocks away along Lighthouse Avenue.

1HOPE.org – Chicken Little Lives Again
Letters From The Editor
When will our courts and government tell these people to stop inflicting their views on the rest of us? Their Chicken Little approach to life will make the general public indifferent to such protests, and then someone with a truly evil intent will slide something very bad by us, and as we will be so tired of sweating the small stuff, we will OK it and pay dearly.
Project HOPE should stand for Humans Ought to Protest Everything.

P.G. Dogs And Their Crazy Owners
Letters From The Editor
We moved to Pacific Grove less than a year ago to enjoy the small-town atmosphere and great schools and to start a business. What we didn’t expect was an epidemic of off-leash dogs. In June, our dog and family was attacked by a German shepherd in a public space less than a block from our home. It resulted in our dog being put to sleep.
This letter is for the woman in the tan Prius who let two Dobermans off the leash Oct. 1 at the lower Presidio park. You know your dogs chased the deer across the park. What you may not know is that the deer jumped the fence near the Private Bolio Gate and was hit by a car.
What are they thinking? Dogs by nature are predatory, territorial and unpredictable. None of the cutesy-wutesy talk is going to change them. They say hello by sniffing butts and if they do not immediately agree which one is “Top Dog” they settle it with fangs.
Haven’t you heard – Dog owners – keep your canines at HOME.
