For Or Against – The Moth Spraying Goes Off On Time

Mothra

On Sunday night, airplanes dropped the pheromone solution over areas of Marina and Seaside.

The spray does not kill the pest but confuses male light brown apple moths, keeping them from mating and reproducing.

State officials say the eradication project is necessary to protect hundreds of plants and crops the moths feed upon.

The potential cost of damages if the moth is not controlled could surge into the millions of dollars, according to state officials.

Residents in the area have expressed concern over potential ill effects the spray could have and people, animals and the environment.

No Beauty School For Vacant Theater

Basing its decision primarily on the lack of parking downtown, the city’s planning commission voted Aug. 16 not to issue a use permit for a Paul Mitchell Partner Beauty School, which would have occupied the 12,000 square-foot building at 525 and 527 Lighthouse Ave.

In July, Jeanne Combs wrote a letter to Mayor Dan Cort opposing the Paul Mitchell school, saying it could be harmful to similar local businesses because beauty schools typically offer discounted rates for haircuts, manicures and other services.

In other words – Similar Local Businesses charge too much for too little. Guess this idea would not go over . .

Lighthouse Cheesecake

That’s one downtown business that would bring more people to P.G. than all the bistros and taco places combined . . yummm The Cheesecake Factory.

What Do Triathletes Truly Fear Most?

More than sharks or poo-poo in the water.
Tridents

It’s the kelp-clogged waters and cold temperatures that worry competitors in this year’s Triathlon at Pacific Grove — not possible shark attacks.

Team member Sia Karamalegos said sharks are found regularly along the Gulf Coast. “Probably more so than here,” she said. “I think we will be all right, as long as we’re not the slowest ones out there. Or the first ones.”

P.G. Bulletin Pulls Another Proofreader Boner

Klatch Meeting at Black Forest Coffee – in GATEWAY CENTER?
Bull 090705

Well, maybe that does make sense – think about those “regular attendees” to council meetings like Dilworth, the Willoughbys, Alene, Fischer, etc.
Gateway Center

Gateway Center is a “Residential Program serves clients ranging from the moderately functioning to the profoundly disabled, providing 24-hour care and supervision.”

Country Club Gate is where Black Forest Coffee is, along with the best taqueria – Michael s, the best market – Save Mart and the best pizza – Domino’s.

It’s been written here before – the mass of PG leaders does not acknowledge the southernmost part of PG, the forbidden zone that lies beyond that stoplight at Sunset & Forest. It’s all “Grove Market this” and “Art Gallery that” when thinking about P.G. services and businesses.
