Great White Stops Over In Malibu Before Touring Monterey

Shark lands in the fish prison.

The young shark, a four-foot, seven-inch male weighing 43.2 pounds, was brought north in a 3,200-gallon mobile life support transport vehicle. He was collected August 18 by aquarium staff with the help of a commercial fishing crew using a purse seine net. He was quickly transferred to a more than 4-million-gallon ocean holding pen off Malibu, where he remained for almost two weeks.

Tax $$ Paying For Hysteric Society Studies

What happens when your home becomes deemed as “historic”? Your property rights may be in danger for one thing.

According to a press release sent out July 25 by the state agency, the City of Monterey will receive $22,500 to pay for “a historic context statement and reconnaissance historic survey for the New Monterey Residential Neighborhood and the New Monterey Business District.”

The grant will fund 60 percent of the project. To be eligible for the assistance, the City of Monterey is required to pay for the remaining 40 percent of the work — which totals $16,600 — according to Lucinda Woodward, a spokeswoman for the Office of Historic Preservation, which is a division of California State Parks.

No Marijuana Selling In Monterey

No Pot Club

Monterey medical marijuana patients’ dreams of a dispensary in their town went up in smoke Wednesday night, as City Council voted 3-2 to permanently ban dispensaries in all zones within city limits.

“I’m disappointed, but not surprised,” says Richard Rosen, the Salinas-based lawyer for MyCaregiver Cooperative, Inc., the now-defunct medical marijuana cooperative that was raided by city inspectors in February after allegedly violating a court order to stop dispensing pot. That case is still being tried in Monterey Superior Court.

Recreation Trail Robbers Arrested

The recreation trail is always a dangerous place to be, can get robbed, assaulted or hit by a surrey.
Rec Trail Arrest

The man was walking about 10:45 p.m. near the northbound Lighthouse Avenue curve when he was attacked and robbed, police said.

The man suffered facial injuries, but declined medical aid. No suspects were found in the area.

About an hour later, a Monterey patrol officer made a traffic stop on a car in the 800 block of Del Monte Avenue. That led to the arrest of five people and discovery of stolen property from the robbery, police said.

Three of the five people were booked on charges of robbery, conspiracy and possession of stolen property, police said.

The suspects were identified as Jamarius Ballio and Chico Glover, both 18 from Seaside, and Sean Underwood, 18, of Marina.

Anjelika Ierome, 18, of Marina was booked on charges of violating probation and giving false information to police.

Property Owner Trying To Evict Pot Shop

Richard Rosen, lol

After a three-day hearing, Judge Lydia Villarreal asked for written final arguments from attorneys for the MyCaregiver Cooperative and directors Jhonrico Carrnshimba and Mark Rowland.

The three are accused of contempt of court for allegedly violating an October 2010 court injunction by continuing to operate as a medical marijuana outlet on Lighthouse Avenue.

The medical marijuana co-op has appealed the earlier ruling to the state Court of Appeals. To obtain the injunction, the city said the outlet violated the city’s 2010 moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries.

The owner of the New Monterey building also has gone to court to evict the co-op, but that case has been held in abeyance pending the outcome of the contempt-of-court case.

Richard Rosen, attorney for the co-op corporation, filed defense papers arguing that the injunction on which the contempt charges are based is, itself, a flawed city law.

Jellyfish Win Latest Bay Crossing Challenge

Jellyfish 3, Humans 2
Jellyfish Warning

Dublin’s Patti Bauernfeind made it about halfway through her second attempt to swim across the Monterey Bay on Tuesday morning before jellyfish stings once again forced her to stop.

Cindy Cleveland crossed the Monterey Bay in 1983 in 17 hours, becoming the only person known to complete the swim without a wetsuit. Last year, Santa Cruz native Chase Bruckner completed the swim in 14 hours after stopping near Moss Landing to put on a wetsuit when jellyfish stings became unbearable.

Have We Forgotten The Squid?

Oohhh, the Squid Festival. That was fun. I’d start a calamari booth at the Farmer’s Market just to be able to munch on fresh squid.

Even with those record hauls, Tringali laments the overall loss of identity with squid in the general community, pointing to the now-defunct Monterey Bay Squid Festival, the annual Memorial Day weekend event that ended its run in the late 1980s.

“It would be fantastic to have a squid festival again, but it’s hard to get people to (organize) it,” said Tringali, who encouraged squid fans to try instead the local Santa Rosalia Festival, a free event in September that blesses the local fleet and serves a myriad of Italian delicacies such as calamari.
