Pre School Kitchen Shut Down

Posted on by

Thanks Michelle Obama

The school’s food preparation teacher needs to get a food handler permit — something that can be done online — but also, the kitchen will have to be remodeled to be approved by the Monterey County Health Department.

Right now “it does not pass inspection,” Miller said. “We’re now looking for a consultant to tell us what we need for passing inspection. The board is going to have to get a contract. It will take time to design and for the county to review, then the board to approve the expenditure. That will take some time.”

Posted on by

Riaan and Vasti Manser, who just spent two months shoulder to shoulder rowing 2,400 miles from Monterey to Hawaii, should find themselves together not only in this life, but the next.

The South African couple, who opted to spend their honeymoon rowing their way to a place where most honeymooners go to lounge on the beach and sip from drinks with little umbrellas, on Tuesday finished they journey in a record 39 days, four hours and 27 minutes. They also severely tested their relationship.

Money For Monarchs

“Past mishaps”
Butterfly Tree Stump

Fish & Wildlife to grant money for restoration and improvements.

“We walk around and talk about the state of the sanctuary and what the activities are that we have decided are good for the grove,” said Weiss. “The idea is that we want to be open and transparent about why we recommend doing certain things to keep every one on the same page about what’s happening in the grove.”

That transparency is so important to Weiss and city officials because of the past mishaps that have occurred with the city’s management of the sanctuary.

Pebble Beach’s Good Deed Moves Forward

Geeze, PB’s workers told they are in the wrong place. All I ever saw in the forests over the boundary was trash and yard clippings dumped by P.G. residents.

DMP Del Monte Park

In giving the 24-unit project the thumbs-up, the supervisors praised the proposal as an exemplary effort by a private company to provide employee housing and rejected the opponents’ argument that the project was in the wrong place.

Opponents, led by attorney Pearl Kan, who filed an appeal of the county Planning Commission approval of the proposal in June insisted they supported affordable housing, including in the toney forest, but argued the proposed 13.2-acre site off SFB Morse Drive adjacent to the Del Monte Park neighborhood of Pacific Grove was the wrong site because development would mean losing 725 trees in the Monterey pine forest and a prized location often visited by the neighbors.

In Shape Gyms Fined $26,000,000

Can’t you use a prepaid credit card to open a ‘trial’ membership? Places sound as corrupt as carpet stores and furniture stores.

In Shape

Without acknowledging liability, In Shape agreed to provide $23 million in different forms of restitution to past and current members and pay a $3 million dollar penalty. The health club will also be bound by a 5-year injunction to prevent future unfair practices.

The multi-county investigation began in 2014 in response to complaints that In Shape sold “free” services without fully disclosing membership terms, refused to accept cancellation requests, issued unauthorized billing statements and pursued collections on invalid debts. The alleged violations occurred as the club expanded from 40 to 70 health clubs between 2010 and 2015.

The 2016 Little Car Show featured around 120 “compact” cars that are at least 25 years or older. American vehicles were this year’s theme though entries from all over the world were accepted. The event and some proceeds go back into the community. The organizer says he started the show not long after he read an article several years ago.

“You feel like you can get close to it. You don’t feel like you need to be standing there with your hands behind you, and at a proper distance. You feel like you can get close to the whole thing,” said Pacific Grove Mayor, Bill Kampe.

US Armed Forces To Retreat?

We lost the battle with the closure of Fort Ord. With less middle class families here the tourism industry is all we have. Sad

“In 1993 and in 2005 both the Navy School and the Defense Language Institute were under consideration for those BRAC Rounds,” said City of Monterey City Manager Mike McCarthy.

Both schools could make the list again, resulting in them being shut down or realigned, something the Central Coast is all too familiar with.

“We saw what happened with the closure of Fort Ord in the early 90’s and the time it’s taken for the region to rebound,” said Pick. “So we don’t want to see any further military installations leave the area.”

To prepare for the worst, Monterey and community leaders are gathering for symposiums to discuss what’s already being done and what can be done to keep military on the peninsula. Building relationships is one key recommendation.

Unsafe PG Buildings

The solid brick building with its sandstone facade is currently home to Sotheby’s International Realty and three additional tenants. But at one time it was also the location of Bank of America until the 1950s when Jay and Gladys Lewis purchased it. A Bank of America branch eventually ended up across the street while Tom Bratty, Bob Bratty’s father, bought the building from the Lewis couple.
