My best friend is renting a room to a Monterey Institute of International Studies student from China. This visitor was quite troubled by Thursday’s Go! section cover article about Pacific Grove’s Feast of Lanterns. We found ourselves trying to explain why white westerners put on such a pageant dressed in stereotypical Chinese costumes.
We did not have answers to the following questions: How is the Feast of Lanterns different from anti-Semitic passion plays in Europe and black-face minstrel shows of the Jim Crow South?
It’s a play, that’s all. And maybe the student should first look in the mirror and ask questions about racism in China
After earthquakes and fires they are consumed by the college and taken away. Used to be funky, hometown public radio. Gone downhill ever since taking up the same NPR stuff you could hear everywhere else.
Public radio station KAZU 90.3 FM has completed its move from Pacific Grove to the campus of CSU-Monterey Bay.
The studio and offices of the National Public Radio affiliate are now housed in the Foundation Building at Sixth Avenue and Inter-Garrison Road. The signal was switched over July 13 from its previous facility.
Think he’ll really serve all that time? Doubtful. He served time for a 1991 murder and was out on the street robbing people in 2005.
A Salinas man who robbed a woman outside the Safeway store in Pacific Grove has been sentenced to 24 years in prison, the District Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
Pablo Castaneda, 42, was convicted by a jury in August for the December 2005 armed robbery of a female customer in the grocery store parking lot. The robber took her purse at gunpoint.
Pacific Grove’s 103rd annual Feast of Lanterns started with cake at the official opening ceremony and cake cutting Wednesday in Chautauqua Hall. (The cakes celebrated the festival’s 103rd and the city’s 119th birthdays.)
The Feast of Lanterns actually got started a few days earlier at the Tea and Fashion Show Saturday at Chautauqua Hall, where the court of eight “princesses” and the “queen” modeled vintage Feast of Lanterns costuming.
Street Dance on Lighthouse Avenue tonight. Entertainment & Fireworks on the beach tomorrow. More information at www.feastoflanterns.org
To pay their attorney. Another sick-o gets busted for kiddie porn.
The teacher, Craig Dinwiddie, 52, of Gonzales was arrested on seven counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of distributing child pornography, two counts of annoying or molesting children and possession of marijuana, police Chief Paul Miller said.
If our code enforcement can’t see obvious things like the uncovered garbage and accumulated bird poo – and police are blind to merchants that park in 2 hour parking spaces all day, it looks doubtful that your rental unit will get busted.
A resolution adopted by the City Council on July 16 calls for training the city’s code enforcement officer, building inspector and other staff members about identifying potential housing code violations while conducting routine city business and report them for investigation and abatement.
An earlier version of the resolution called for including police and fire personnel in such training. That was removed from the final version..
Interesting – a principal that has more than a few years of experience in P.G. schools. Kudos to the district.
Bell first worked at the high school in 1983 as a math teacher and as the head swimming coach. He moved on to principal at Robert Down Elementary and Pacific Grove Middle School, where he last worked.
Superintendent Ralph Porras says promoting Bell to principal made sense because of his knowledge of and history with the district.
After business owners protested the market for more than a year, the open air market on Lighthouse Avenue will go on every Monday from 4p.m. to 8p.m.
Many shoppers welcomed the farmers market and said it was over due in Pacific Grove.
Meanwhile, opponents of the market say only time will tell what if any affect the market will have on other businesses.
Final vote – two thumbs up. Take care of it and it can be a great thing.
