Careful, Yogi. Carmel shoots them out of trees.
The black bear was caught in Monterey Sunday morning by California Department of Fish and Wildlife officers. Officers used tranquilizer guns, and the bear was not injured.
Shortly after, wildlife officials released the male bear back into the wild, deep in Los Padres National Forest.
Don Kelly of the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife said the bear most likely wandered into residential areas looking for food.
Good luck, you will need it running against Sam the sham, even when you support same sex marriage and abortions.
In a YouTube clip announcing her run, Lucius said voters who are concerned about jobs, water, the environment and national security should support her so “we can create a new beginning.”
In the “Issues” section of her website, CaseyLucius.com, she said she supports gay marriage, is concerned about climate change but wants to limit global spending, supports the Second Amendment and abortion rights in the first six months of a pregnancy.
“On the Central Coast, we have a gang problem, not a gun problem,” her website states.
Nader’s Dream is back. This time the Holmans building becomes a bunch of multi million dollar condos and his big hotel takes up the rest of the block.
Developers are proposing two projects for the Holman Building property. The first project would turn the building into commercial space and condominiums. The second one would bring construction of Pacific Grove’s first hotel. To get it done, the developers need to split the lot and get multiple permits.
Developer Nader Agha is heading up the hotel project. The hotel, if all goes as planned, will be a 135-room Hilton Garden Inn. Agha wants to build it on the back two-thirds of the property.
What? Tear out all the parking and marina improvements to remake a beach that is likely to become a transient plaza for sea lions?
The waterfront plan, which has been put together during the past four years, is intended to transform Monterey’s shoreline between San Carlos Beach and Monterey Bay Park into a “spectacular gateway” for the city.
But many in the wharf business community say the proposal — which would eliminate hundreds of parking spaces in lots nearest the harbor by the city’s two wharves in favor of grass, walkways and a plaza — is anything but spectacular.
At a city Planning Commission meeting May 13, the battle over the future of waterfront parking under the proposed plan came to a head.
Wharf business owners and hospitality industry officials predicted the changes would drive away customers and cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in parking fees generated by the wharf lots.
With summer season beginning to take off, the website TripAdvisor has ranked Pacific Grove as one of its Top 12 Scenic Vacation Destinations.
“We could not have wished for anything better,” said Moe Ammar, the president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce. “We will ride this for 18 months and kick butt.”
Afraid it would bring down the values in P.G.’s own ghetto? Afraid of people from Seaside moving nearby? What? Next thing you know they’ll be putting in sidewalks in Del Monte Park.
the council voted 6-0 in support of a comment letter on the proposed 24-unit affordable housing project’s draft environmental impact report that included a recommendation that the project be relocated to a site at Sunset Drive and 17 Mile Drive. The letter is set to be delivered to county planner Joe Sidor, who is overseeing the project review, in the next few days, ahead of the June 19 public comment deadline.
The proposed project site near New Congress Drive and SFB Morse Drive on the edges of the Del Monte Park neighborhood has drawn considerable opposition, particularly from nearby residents.
Better carry a 12 gauge next to your six iron.
Deputies said Aurelio Camilo Bautista, 18, from Greenfield and a 15-year-old boy, demanded money from two golfers from Rocklin, CA and two from Los Altos Hills, CA.
During the confrontation, one of the victims fought with the suspects and ended up with a cut on his ear. Deputies said a golf range finder was taken from another victim. One victim reported seeing a knife in the waistband of on of the suspects, but deputies said a knife was never found.
Affordable Pebble Beach apartments for their employees comes under fire from the DMP people against everything. Did you know that Arkwright Court is the gateway to Del Monte Park? I’d rather live by the Pebble Beach apartments than Arkwright Court.
Kathleen Davis has lived in Pacific Grove for more than 20 years and said her backyard fence boarders Pebble Beach. When she heard about the plans for affordable housing near her backyard, she took action.
“Well, no most of the people on this street and many of the people who live in this neighborhood are against it,” said Davis.
One of the key parts of the proposal would take the 2.7 acres of land and turn it into apartments, parking lot and a recreation area.
“Probably going to have a significant impact on the property values of all of these houses here,” said Davis.
Another bad decision by Tom Fruit-Cheese. Why would Comcast or ATT want to use SiFi Networks’ fiber cables in sewers when they already have their own? Who wants to work on cables soaking in poop? And what happens when the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Creation Agency breaks a valve? Does the internet go out or just ooze sewage into your computer?
In a revised deal still under negotiation, City Manager Tom Frutchey says, SiFi would construct and install the network. Internet service providers such as AT&T and Comcast would pay the city for each customer who signs up, he says, and the city in turn would use that money to lease the system from SiFi for 30 years. When the term is up, the city would own the system. According to staff calculations, P.G. would net $1 million over 10 years.
Pacific Grove City Council made a deal with London-based SiFi Networks to install fiber-optic Internet cables through the city’s sewer pipes. The company announced it had selected P.G. as a California “FiberCity,” intended to showcase speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second – 20 times faster than the fastest DSL connection – and the network would be installed by the end of 2015. SiFi would cover the construction costs, up to $40 million.
M.R.P.C.A, the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Creation Agency had no plan in place for one lousy valve?
Scott Kathey, emergency response coordinator for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, said cleaning sewage out of the ocean is impossible.
When asked what environmental impact may occur, Kathey said, “It’s hard to say. Obviously the plume is going to spread. Any kind of effects would be long-term.”
Marine animals could develop bacterial infections from coming into contact with the sewage, he said. Luckily, there were no sea otters or seals nearby at the time of the spill.
The recreational trail was closed to the public from the Monterey Bay Aquarium to Point Pinos. Lovers Point Beach was also closed, as well as all beaches one mile to the north and one mile to the south of it.
