The Monterey County Health Department has closed San Carlos Beach after a sewage spill Friday contaminated the water.
Health officials also recommend no swimming or contact with storm drain water, which may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, protozoa or chemicals and could cause serious illness.
TMAC looks forward to more “bump outs” like at Forest and Lighthouse, more raised dividers like on Central and throw in a couple of ridiculous Marina style roundabouts.
Pacific Grove residents may be looking at a more pedestrian-friendly portion of the Holman Highway corridor in the future.
That’s because of a study produced through a partnership between Caltrans, the Transportation Agency of Monterey County and the city of Pacific Grove that is looking at ways to change Forest Avenue and Sunset Drive to make them more bicycle-friendly and conducive to pedestrians.
I think that we as Americans have really come to expect inexpensive food. We spend a very small amount of our disposable income on food, and restaurateurs have to cope with that. They have to figure out how to offer food to us at a price we will pay, while buying the best ingredients that they can. And often, as in any other business, it’s buy low and sell high.
You confronted a lot of chefs about this, and a lot of them gave you the same answer.
[They said] “I guess that should come off the chalkboard.”
There were plenty of people who were honestly surprised to find something was still on the chalkboard or still on their menu many months after they’d purchased that product, and many others that were just caught red-handed.
Good Old Days had a Donald Trump booth, no surprise that the other side was vocal and abusive.
New at the fair this year was a booth for Donald Trump supporters.
“We need to get out the information that in order to vote for Mr. Trump, (you) have to be registered (in the) Republican Party, and that’s why we have this booth,” said Jackie Miller, who represented Californians for Donald Trump.
The booth and campaign materials came out of her own pocket.
A lot of people stopped by to show their support, but they weren’t met without controversy.
During an interview with Action News, a Bernie Sanders supporter jumped in front of the camera, yelling “Bernie 2016!”
As the Sanders supporter walked away, he yelled, “No racists.”
Another Trump supporter volunteering at the booth said they had been harassed by hecklers all morning.
“We’ve had some very abusive, one particular person, and he’s doing this in front of his very small children, which I take offense to,” said Nikki Schoessow.

Surveillance cameras captured the incidents, and the chamber handed the footage over to the Pacific Grove Police Department and KSBW.
“The videos plainly show two separate incidents of the illegal act of impinging on the Chamber of Commerce’s right to freedom of expression,” chamber members said.
According to the city manager, one of the men in the videos was identified as local activist Luke Coletti, and he apologized.
But police are conducting an investigation to identify a second man in the video, who has a ponytail.
On Friday, the chamber announced it is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the man with the ponytail.
Coletti told KSBW that he did not steal any signs, and merely put the signs on the ground. It was unclear if Coletti will face criminal charges.
Look! Out In The Dark! It’s A Bird! It’s A Raccoon! It’s . .
I am often a skeptic when a business exists solely on payments from government programs. Free Phones, mobility scooters, subsidized solar systems, electric cars, etc. Shows you just how loose the government is with our tax dollars.
The Federal Communications Commission plans to fine Total Call Mobile $51.1 million after alleging the carrier fraudulently collected payments from a program that subsidizes wireless service for low-income consumers.
According to FCC documents [PDF], since 2014 Total Call Mobile requested and received more than $9.7 million in payments by signing up tens of thousands of duplicate or ineligible consumers “despite repeated and explicit warnings from its own employees, in some cases compliance specialists, that company sales agents were engaged in widespread enrollment fraud.”

Jocks. Sheeshe.
A 16-year-old boy who is a football player at Pacific Grove High School was identified this week as the person who made a bomb threat against Carmel High School, investigators said.
The student used a social media campus feed app, Ogle, to write an anonymous message Feb. 21. The Carmel-Pacific Grove rivalry hits it peak during the annual Shoe Game in November.
Deputies traced Ogle messages back to the football player, served search warrants and interviewed him.
Family members called 911 because a man was having a mental health “crisis,” police said.
When officers arrived, the man was standing in the backyard holding a knife to his chest.
Officers talked to the man for more than two hours and convinced him to put the knife down.
He was handcuffed and escorted into an ambulance for a mental evaluation.
Thank you Monterey Herald (March 27), Monterey County Weekly, Cedar Street Times, Carmel Pine Cone and KSBW television for endorsing Measure X, that will change zoning at the American Tin Cannery to allow a hotel at the site.
Thank you Mayor Bill Kampe, former mayors Carmelita Garcia and Jeanne Byrne, former councilman Alan Cohen, former school board member Beth Shammas and retired teacher Jean Anton for signing the argument in favor of Measure X in the voter guide. Others that signed the argument in favor, include civic leader Richard Stillwell, First Awakenings owner Craig Bell, and general manager of Asilomar Conference Grounds, Mairead Hennessy. Opposition to the argument was signed by only two residents.
