Re: Mayor Cort Resignation
By Editor | August 4, 2009
Not only has Mr. Dilworth shown his total disregard for his city in threatening the Mayor with a recall, he’s also targeted Bill Kemp, Vickie Stillwell and Deborah Lindsay as people he thinks should go.
What excellent timing! Is this what PG really needs right now? I’m sure a prospective City Manager will just jump at the chance to get all cozy with us Pagrovians now.
What is this really about? Is this about Dan and these Council members voting on pay schedules for the City? No. Is this about the Library? The Dog Park? The Museum?
No.
This is, quite simply, about David Dilworths lifelong search for acceptance. He’s chosen crusade after crusade, not only to help the environment, to stop the spray, to keep the forests healthy, but to satisfy his own sense of self worth.
Don’t get me wrong, us frogs appreciate the work he’s done on the environment, we really do, but this latest move shows not only a complete lack of understanding of the situation we are faced with, but a complete lack of honor. David has smiled into the faces of the same people he attempts to destroy.
Most folks in PG understand this about David. It’s why he came in almost dead last in his bid for City Council.
Thanks for the help on the forests David, but you really need to stay out of politics. You have hurt the city today.
-Kermit.

Farmers’ Market Conundrum
By Editor | March 27, 2009
An editorial feature by Jon Guthrie
There’s just something special about a farmer’s market!
But exactly what is hard to say. There’re certainly the bins and barrels of fresh vegetables (Oh, those squash!) and the buckets of flowers; the trays of baked goods and fruit and candies. There’s also the camaraderie, the companionship, the amity … the community solidarity and comradeship brought on by all sorts of vendors and all sorts of customers who become united neighbors in this brief moment of commonality.
But there are those few who shun such community activities, give them little weight, set amity aside in favor of enmity. According to these opinions, such events lower merchants’ income, are held in the wrong places, absorb too many already-scarce resources, cause traffic jams, and are general pains-in-the-neck. These are the well-meaning factionists who-sometimes for sound reasons-fail to join the good spirits and revelry. Read the rest of this entry »

Theft of newspapers to suppress story?
By Editor | March 14, 2009
On Thursday, March 12, 2009, the Carmel Pine Cone was printed as usual at the press we share in Salinas. It was also distributed, but as of Friday, March 13, there were no copies of it to be found in the usual racks in Pacific Grove where it is distributed for free. It is unknown whether it was available in racks in other cities. To be honest, we didn’t notice because we subscribe online and it arrives as an email. We had already read it in its entirety when the theft came to light. Read the rest of this entry »
