Correiar began scrambling in the water toward shore, trying not to splash or let his legs hang down. He then hit upon another strategy:
“While this was going on, the shark was using my boat as a chew toy. I saw it spin with the boat at least three times. It started pushing the boat towards me and then left the boat and headed for me. Suddenly it dove. I put my face in the water to see if it was under me, but I couldn’t see anything.”
The city extended the application, however, because officials kept thinking plans were on their way, Brodeur says.
There was reason to believe that might be the case. Just a couple of weeks before the May expiration date, Domaine and its supporters in Friends of Project Bella scored a major win in a special election election to change the American Tin Cannery’s zoning from retail to hotel.
However, months later there were signs of trouble within the Pacific Grove company, which is owned by Domaine Hospitality Partners, LLC. One of the DHP partners, Michael Crall, resigned his position as development director in November, publicly raising questions about Meer’s management of Project Bella.
At a Jan. 11 City Council meeting, Armanasco told the council that despite Crall’s questions, Project Bella was moving forward. Meer himself made a similar statement to the Weekly just the day before.
Is this what we hire?
Salinas police arrested a 35-year-old man on Thursday on charges of unlawful sex with a minor. The alleged victim is a 17-year-old girl.
Juan Govea was a well-liked teacher at Salinas High School until about six months ago when he wrapped up the 2015-16 school year and left for a new job at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, where he is currently the director of exhibits and education.
He taught biology at Salinas High for 11 years before going to the museum.
Govea faces two felony charges connected to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, and one misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting a child.
I still offer up the John Denver Memorial RV Park.
After 77 percent of Pacific Grove voters resoundingly defeated Measure P, officials are determined to find new ways to raise revenue – fast. Measure P would have levied a 5-percent tax on event and venue admissions, bringing an estimated $4.2 million annually to the city.
Open one day a week. That’s an art gallery schedule!
The bakery is open Saturdays, but closed Sundays and Mondays.
Pacific Grove residents can rest a little easier. After a temporary shutdown due to sewer line repairs, Pavel’s Backerei on Forest Avenue is opening with a limited supply of baked goods for sale on Friday morning, the owners announced on Facebook Thursday night.
No functioning bathroom? Eeeew.
City officials said on Monday that the bakery had to cease operations so that the building’s owner, Gary Delahanty of Carmel, could make major repairs to a non-functioning employee bathroom and a leaking lateral sewer line that runs to Forest Avenue.
According to Harvey, there has been a long-term dispute between Pavel’s management and the property owner that came to a head recently when the Monterey County Health Department got wind of the non-functioning employee bathroom. The city soon got involved, and once city Building Official John Kuehl determined repairs had to be made, Harvey said they had no choice but to shut down Pavel’s until repairs were complete.
Harvey sees the one time the trash is covered. Here are three other time I passed by the mentioned location. He’s also bothered by the squawks and cries of the gulls, but not the smell of the open garbage next to his part time residence?
City Manager Ben Harvey, clad in a baby blue sweater over a white button-up shirt, strolls down 16th Street with a cup of coffee in hand. It’s early afternoon, and while there are still no gulls around, Harvey stops between Fandango Restaurant and Grove Market, and turns to face a dumpster area.
“This is what I am talking about,” Harvey says, visibly annoyed, yet composed.
Harvey takes a few steps toward a nearly empty parking lot in front of the restaurant, and points to a big, black dumpster with its lid shut. The container stands next to a small trash can filled with a tied-up garbage bag.
In addition to using predatory birds to scare off gulls, part of the program would also include stepping up enforcement of dumpster lid closures.
Christian afterschool club gets access to property for meetings. Unlike the new substainable and CRT education kids are taught during school hours.
Over at Robert Down and Forest Grove elementary schools in Pacific Grove, many students are part of the Good News Club. The after-school program is part of the Child Evangelism Fellowship. Established in 1937, CEF aims to teach kids about the bible through ministries, clubs, conferences and sometimes even seminars, according to its website.
Ahh, from that commie folk singer.
The Pacific Grove Public Library has committed to fomenting more culture and ideas by dedicating a room, the Nancy and Steve Hauk Gallery, to precisely that. Last year they did so by weaving events around the ecological writings of Rachel Carson. This year, they’ve continued that commitment with This Land is Our Land.
The title is an invocation of the Woody Guthrie song “This Land is Your Land,” and many of the activities are backdropped by an exhibit of paintings of national parks and monuments.
Strange Night In Pacific Grove
Prosecutors closed the investigation for lack of evidence.
In May 2013, Gill was terminated from his position at the Seaside Police Department. Six months later, he sued the Pacific Grove Police Department and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, the two agencies charged with the investigation of the stabbing, for lost wages, slander and allegedly botching the investigation with malicious intent. In essence, he’s alleging his firing was based on prosecutors’ “feelings and suspicions” that he made up the story.
