Opportunities abound to travel to conferences and not participate.
Carjacking On Forest Ave
While a passenger was in the car. Drove to Country Club Gate of all places. Looking to steal drugs?
Zachary Drehobl, 36, was booked into the Monterey County Jail on charges of carjacking, kidnapping, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, trespassing, tampering with a vehicle, resisting arrest and driving on a suspended license.
After an investigation, police suspected Drehobl had stolen a Mazda Miata out of Monterey, drove it to the Chevron station on Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove, and carjacked a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the passenger still inside. He then drove to the Country Club Gate site, the release said, where he attempted to forcibly remove the passenger.
City Council Fires Tina Rau
No to Tina Rau and other divisive applicants. Don’t forget.
Resident Carol Marquart at the Jan. 9 meeting echoed a growing number of residents’ concerns that the DEI task force is only inclusive and accepting of citizens who are in lockstep with its goals, and she called for new members to replace the incumbents.
“I’d like to see a new group of people with the same passion that you have — only less divisive,” Marquart said at the meeting.
For example, after it was discovered late last year that Rau had mocked Catholics and other Christians in a Twitter post, Rau doubled down on the comment and initially refused to apologize. Her task force colleagues also refused at first to condemn the anti-Christian comments — which some called hypocritical considering the task force promotes “diversity and inclusion.”
Losers Keep On Losin’
Wachs has not lived in P.G. long enough to contribute anything of substance. And Tina Rau was an embarrassment.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake’s appointments to the city’s boards and commissions raised some eyebrows when the list was released in an agenda report for the P.G. City Council meeting taking place tonight, Jan. 18. In one case, it appears he snubbed his political opponent in the Nov. 7 election, Mike Wachs.
…
The chair of the DEI Task Force, Tina Rau, was also rejected in her bid to remain on the task force, in a surprising move by Peake who rejected two other members who wanted to retain their seats. He did appoint one woman, Marie Hunter, who in her application called into question DEI principles.

Tear Down The Parklets
Some are empty more than they are used. Some have unsafe conditions.
Prompting those letters was an 86-page report by a P.G. Planning Commission subcommittee that recommended 14 rules for parklets. Those rules would have meant all existing parklets would have to be torn down; some could have and rebuilt much smaller, and at least five of the current 13 parklets would have been eliminated entirely.
Despite pleas from restaurant owners who said the new rules would hurt their businesses in a time of inflation and other challenges, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 on Dec. 8 to send the recommendations to the City Council.
Some of the commission’s recommendations went beyond what was required by existing codes, said John Kuehl, the city’s chief building official. While the planning commissioners were concerned about safety, Kuehl suggested that some people’s perception of what’s safe may not correlate with laws already in place.
HPOL Canceled – Somebody Must Have Been Offended
It just aint going to be Christmas without a decorated shark. 
The parade was planned for 6 p.m. Thursday in Downtown Pacific Grove. The city did not say when and if they would reschedule the parade.
“We hope to celebrate this beloved event with you all soon.,” said the Pacific Grove Chamber.
Jason Blad, P.G. Recreation Trail Attacker Granted Parole
Recreation trail can be a dangerous place. Now an attacker that repeatedly stabbed a young lady there is about to be freed. Not right.
The California Board of Parole Hearings, represented by two parole commissioners, granted Jason Blad parole after 21 years in California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In June of 2002, Blad was sentenced to seven years to life for attempted murder.
This was Blad’s Seventh Parole Board Hearing. The Monterey County District Attorney’s office will request that Gov. Gavin Newsom reverse the panel’s decision.
Monterey Spending Money To Make Money
Rent for Scales was probably too high for the business. Soooo
The two-story, 17,500-square-foot structure at 30 Fisherman’s Wharf has been vacant since July 2021, when restaurant Scales Seafood & Steaks moved out after its owners failed to reach a lease agreement with Monterey. The city owns the building and has a filed a permit with the
coastal commission to make improvements to it.
