Bet an otter pushed her out.
The Monterey Fire Department responded to San Carlos Beach below Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa on Cannery Row at 12:30 p.m.
“They were coming in on kayaks and the first lady came in without incident and the second lady, when she started to come in was knocked out of the kayak by a wave,” said Monterey Fire Division Chief Felix Colello. “And then the wave slammed the kayak into her legs and broke her legs.”
I’m just having fun with headlines. Another power failure.
The crash knocked out power to the nearby Nob Hill store and required evaluation from officials after fluid leaked onto the ground from the unit which was stationed across from Hopkins Marine Station, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the bay.
Just be careful and not point them at any right of center bumperstickers.
“Certainly police departments are using them throughout the nation,” City Manager Ben Harvey said. “We’re in favor of them so we’re showing what our program looks like and why we’re doing it. We’re basically telling the grand jury – here’s our policy, we’ve created one and we’re in the process of doing it – we just don’t have all the details drilled down.”
Yummy. Seaside waste and Salinas farm run off treated and served up in P.G.
Prep work has already begun on the 7-mile pipeline running from Seaside to Pacific Grove, which is designed to deliver water from the Seaside basin to Peninsula customers as a result of the recycled water project
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe called the pipeline tangible progress toward providing a new water supply, noting the collaborative efforts that helped overcome initial opposition to recycled water from Peninsula hospitality, Cal Am and even the state Public Utilities Commission. Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio called the ceremony a historic groundbreaking and “first step toward a water supply solution” for the Peninsula.
There’s no sewer or water hookups. Propane stove, solar panels. It’s a substainable camper trailer that can’t be moved.

Real estate broker/owner Amber Russell would like to see the possibilities for tiny homes expanded in Monterey County and beyond, and she’s now working toward that goal.
She’ll speak on “How to Make a Tiny Impact, No Matter the Size of Your Home” at this weekend’s Inspired Home Expo at Monterey County Fair & Event Center, 2004 Fairground Road in Monterey. The expo is free and open to the public this Saturday and Sunday.
“I’ll be talking about what draws people to tiny houses, and also how we can use less energy in our current homes,” said Russell, who has the National Association of Realtors’ Green Designation, specializing in energy efficiency ad sustainability, and is the only Realtor in Monterey County with that designation. She recently launched her own mobile brokerage, Over the Moon Realty.
Think again. Crosswalks, sidewalks and bike lanes. I thought bike lanes were the same as sidewalks.
The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved the Pacific Grove Highway 68 corridor study and adopted the report’s recommended findings. The yearlong analysis of the city’s major thoroughfare was done to determine how to make it more pedestrian-friendly and suitable for all forms of transportation.
Launched in 2015, the 190-page report looked at ways to improve two streets that are part of the Holman Highway route through Pacific Grove; Forest Avenue from the city limit to Sunset Drive and Sunset Drive from Forest Avenue to Asilomar Avenue. Specifically, it addressed ways of implementing bike ways, sidewalks and making crossing improvements.
“It’s a very important opportunity for us to begin improving that corridor and these two streets, Sunset and Forest, to make them serve the community better,” said Councilman Robert Huitt.
Huitt said he hopes for the passage of Measure X, the transportation sales tax, because funding from the measure could help pay for the project.
Think That Those Measure X Funds Are For Smooth Safe Streets?
Dan Miller would be way better than STR loving K(r)ampe
Kampe’s opponent, Dan Miller said there is another challenge more pressing than water.
“Financial stability mainly, and I have tried to do that for years, even before I was on the city council, and trying to convince the councils to keep control of spending,” Miller said.
Miller is a third generation Pacgrovian and has served six years on the city council.
Pacific Grove has long been burdened with problems related to the public employee retirement system and Miller said as mayor he would be against exorbitant pay raises and retirements for city staff. Currently the city has about $4.7 million a year budgeted annually for public employee retirement related expenses.
