Grading practices? In the 1970s it was pass ’em all regardless of the child’s ability to prove they were educated.

PGhs Speling

Oh, and having the DEI people on board can’t be a good sign.

Included in the ongoing cultural proficiency training for PGUSD staff, he said, are “instructional materials that represent diverse and “culturally proficient instructional strategies and grading practices.”

The district invited members of the city’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to attend the board meeting to listen in on the topic.

PGUSD’s invitation to members of the DEI Task Force this week comes after the task force’s vice chair, Nadja Mark, was accused of comparing a seemingly noncontroversial online comment by a citizen and member of the city’s economic development commission to the work of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
That comment and other remarks Mark made on social media violated the city’s code of conduct, which prohibits members of city commissions and committees from making negative comments, including on social media, that could offend members of the public, and compels them to “show tolerance and respect other party’s opinions.”

The video, taken on Friday, shows the shark’s dorsal fin and tail appearing out of the water as it swims between the shoreline and the nearby kelp.

Barbara Block is a marine science professor at Stanford University, located at Hopkins Marine Station. Block tells KSBW 8 this is a very common spotting this time of year.

“At this time of year, we have a variety of shark species in the Monterey Bay region, including mako, white sharks, thresher sharks and leopard sharks,” said Block.

How does one See Monterey when they are seeing impaired?

As part of the rebranding, the tagline that has been used for more than 10 years, “Grab Life by the Moments,” is giving way to a new brand platform, “Find Your Way Here,” which is said to be more than a tagline, as it is an open invitation to not only travel to Monterey County but to seek connectivity within, according to the organization.

The organization hopes to build upon the momentum of last year’s Long Term Strategic Plan, meant to guide the destination and tourism economy into the future. The new 2023-24 Business Plan continues the ongoing effort to drive the potential growth of $2.2 billion in incremental visitor spending over the next decade, said See Monterey.

LaPorte Mansion

On May 26, a fire broke out at what’s known as the LaPorte Mansion at 1030 Lighthouse, severely damaging the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, built in 1895. It appeared in Hollywood productions in the 1950s and 1970s but was in need of renovation. After the fire, the owner, Bill Turrentine, opted to tear it down.

A worker told The Pine Cone Thursday morning that the process of tearing down the home could begin Monday and that crews would likely be there all week cleaning up the remnants of the demolished home.

Good location. Are the apartments on the second floor still rented out? Hope they don’t have to share a sewer line with Pavel’s.

Resident Michaela Kuenster has proposed opening a business called Pop & Hiss in a 2,640-square-foot commercial building at 215 Forest Ave., formerly the site of a silk screen shop.

Kuenster — a music teacher who moved to P.G. from Los Angeles five years ago — said she envisions a record shop, food, a live music venue that could accommodate about 80 people, and an enclosed 1,450-square-foot beer garden to the rear of the building on Grand Avenue.
