More than sharks or poo-poo in the water.
It’s the kelp-clogged waters and cold temperatures that worry competitors in this year’s Triathlon at Pacific Grove — not possible shark attacks.
Team member Sia Karamalegos said sharks are found regularly along the Gulf Coast. “Probably more so than here,” she said. “I think we will be all right, as long as we’re not the slowest ones out there. Or the first ones.”
Let’s hope so. Sitting empty (next to another storefront that’s been vacant since April) is Edward Welter gallery.
Some say that galleries really do nothing for the town’s economy. They are closed more than the are open and generate less sales tax than retail would.
. . police conducted a search warrant on Stamm’s residence and business and recovered a series of computers. Investigators later discovered the child pornography on one of the computers, according to Pesenhofer.
More Charges
Another count charges Stamm with dissuading a witness.

Klatch Meeting at Black Forest Coffee – in GATEWAY CENTER?
Well, maybe that does make sense – think about those “regular attendees” to council meetings like Dilworth, the Willoughbys, Alene, Fischer, etc.
Gateway Center is a “Residential Program serves clients ranging from the moderately functioning to the profoundly disabled, providing 24-hour care and supervision.”
Country Club Gate is where Black Forest Coffee is, along with the best taqueria – Michael s, the best market – Save Mart and the best pizza – Domino’s.
It’s been written here before – the mass of PG leaders does not acknowledge the southernmost part of PG, the forbidden zone that lies beyond that stoplight at Sunset & Forest. It’s all “Grove Market this” and “Art Gallery that” when thinking about P.G. services and businesses.
California’s Secretary of Agriculture, A.G. Kawamura, has announced that aerial spraying of the light brown apple moth pheromone Checkmate OLR-F will begin in Monterey County at 8 p.m. Sunday, weather permitting.
The operation that night will cover just part of the eradication area, which includes Marina, Seaside, Del Rey Oaks, Monterey and Pacific Grove. To complete the initial application throughout the rest of the area, additional plane flights are scheduled to occur Monday and Tuesday.
Ever since Trotts antiques moved to the old Sprouse Reitz building, their old location was vacant and on the block for awhile. Since there was no takers, it looks like it will be filled with another gallery. Sheeshe!
What’s Scarier? The sharks in the water or the sharks on the rec trail?
Most mammals—and all local marine mammals—heard about the WHITE SHARK who attacked the man surfline.com identified as 24-year-old TODD ENDRISS at MARINA STATE BEACH Tuesday morning. But fewer heard about the attack last Saturday in OTTER COVE just past LOVERS POINT. Squid’s allies in the dive community tell Squid that a pair of divers saw a smaller white circle them, then disappear—only to make a charge at them. Luckily, they were carrying spearguns, which they reportedly used to fend off the shark before surfacing and successfully screaming for help from a nearby dive skiff.

The fog rolled in during Memorial Day weekend. It was right on schedule. My wife and I looked gloomily at each other and sighed. We weren’t ready for summer yet; at least not our type of foggy summer. That fog can really put a chill in you.
Weather forecasters call a marine layer. Well, I call it a marine invasion. Fog by any other name is just as gray.
Ah, but then Labor Day arrives. The fog lifts, our spirits lift, and everything reappears in glorious profusion. Those magnificent Monterey pines stand out clearly etched against sand, sea, and sky.

dark and smells like grannie’s house after it has been shut up for two months. It cost me $162.00 plus tax not to stay there and was worth every penny. stained furnishings and a belligerent owner/manager. Wine tasted like juice and cheese was the cheapest they could find.
Pacific Grove Mayor Dan Cort supports the city of Monterey’s efforts to delay by 30 days spraying of pheromones to curb mating of the light brown apple moth, the city said today.
The planned aerial spraying is intended to prevent invasive light brown apple moths from breeding.
Maybe the Mayor is not all what he appears to be . .
