Police are asking for the public’s help after an overnight burglary at Hopkins Marine Station on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
An unknown person or people broke into the marine laboratory and ransacked the facility, causing extensive damage, police said.
“Over the past 20 years, we’ve actually seen a fairly steep decline in monarchs,” said Govea, citing data from the Xerces Society, which tracks numbers nationally. “You used to be able to see them in George Washington Park in P.G. but the last time people saw them there was a decade ago.”
As director of exhibits and education for the museum, Govea is more concerned with his home turf. He said the verdict on whether or not it’s a strong year for monarchs on the Monterey Peninsula is still out. That will remain the case until the weekend after Thanksgiving when the Xerces Society does their big count.
“We won’t know until the end of the season when we have the full count,” said Stong. “It’s impossible to say at this time it’ll be a better than average year. It’s just really cool to be seeing them come back for another year and we hope they continue to fill in.”
Monarchs Arriving On Time
Who can afford these apartments? Bet your bustle it’s not the hotel and restaurant workers in New Monterey.
Outzen said from the moment he arrived in Monterey, he wanted to see the bustle of combined residential/commercial use and asked, “Why can’t we do that here?”
“The day I bought it I started planning,” said Outzen about his property that will soon be added to the list of Monterey’s other completed mixed-use projects.
If you are Moe Ammar having orgasms with filmmakers and Ben Harvey thinking he is still in southern California. Hope the cops are watching for drunk drivers after the event.
“The city is honored to be hosting the filmmakers dinner as part of the Carmel Film Festival — it’s one of their signature events,” said City Manager Ben Harvey. “This is an expansion of their footprint in P.G. and we’re very pleased about that.”
It was at a Pacific Grove City Council meeting on June 15 that the request to hold the event and to allow alcohol to be served was approved after organizers made the appeal. They also asked if fire pits could be placed on the beach. Pacific Grove’s municipal code prohibits both.
Recycled sewage coming to town. Fist the golf course and cemetery, then the showers in the hotels.
In November, the state water board approved $2.3 million in Proposition 13 grant funding and $5.4 million in low-interest loan financing for the project designed to provide up to 125 acre-feet of irrigation supply per year to the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links, El Carmelo Cemetery and Crespi Pond restrooms. There’s one condition however, that the “saved” potable water must be used to offset California American Water deliveries from the Carmel River until the board agrees to allow its use elsewhere. Some, like resident Luke Coletti, had previously expressed concerns about the city’s plans for the “saved” water.
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.
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?
