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.

People who use the Pacific Grove High School campus have been warned to remain alert for mountain lions after a deer carcass was found Monday on the school track near the bleachers.

Pacific Grove police said today the dead deer showed signs of having been killed by a mountain lion. The carcass was removed from campus to prevent mountain lions from returning to feed off it, police said.

Glad to hear it’s back. Better keep your barking dogs inside at night . .

Just In Time For The Triathlon At Pacific Grove: Study finds Human waste On Lovers Point Beach

Lovers Point Sewer Pipe

A study by Stanford University scientists on bacteria, beach sand and surf water found traces of human waste on the beach at Lovers Point in Pacific Grove.

The Stanford study showed contaminated beach sand can be a source for bacteria in coastal waters. It found detectable levels of enterococci bacteria on 91 percent of the beaches and traces of E. coli on 62 percent. They found higher levels of the bacteria at beaches surrounded by developed areas.

At Lovers Point, researchers found that enterococci bacteria could wash from dry sand to the sea at levels high enough to trigger a beach health advisory.

Monterey County has a hot line and Web site to inform people about water quality at eight of its most popular beaches. The number: (800) 347-6363; online: www.co.monterey.ca.us/health/beaches.

Monterey police said the ordnance was found at a private construction site on Wave Street and brought to Monterey Fire Station 2 at 582 Hawthorne Street at 1:30 p.m.

It was secured at the rear of the fire station and neighboring apartments were evacuated. A business at the rear of the fire station, The Goodwill at 571 Lighthouse, was also evacuated as a precautionary measure.

What crazy person picks up an explosive device and trucks it up to a fire station?

Salinas Bans “Business Graffiti” Signs

Good move.

Letters From the Editor:

They are dangerous when you are trying to get out of a parking lot. They look tacky when driving through town. They line every main thoroughfare in town. One business on Main Street even has 4×8 signs.

I was in business for 35 years in Salinas, my first location being in the same strip mall that Kerr is located. I got business by advertising in the newspaper, direct mailings and word of mouth.
