June 16 – Diver reported missing at San Carlos Beach

According to the Monterey Fire Department, the diver reportedly went missing into the bay around 11 Sunday morning. Authorities say the diver’s truck is parked at the San Carlos Beach parking lot. Officials say they found a flashlight in the water, but it’s unknown if it belongs to the missing man

June 21 – Body of diver recovered from beach

The Monterey County Coroner’s Office has been called to San Carlos Beach to retrieve a drowning victim who may be the diver reported missing Sunday night.

“To be honest, I don’t know how anybody would be able to make an ID that quickly. I don’t know the condition of the body,” said Sonne, who had just spoken with a sergeant at the scene who reported the coroner had just arrived.

The drowning victim was discovered by other divers floating in a kelp bed about 30 yards off shore Friday morning. Sonne said he was in diving gear, minus his tanks.

The family of a Marin County man reported him missing Sunday night. Police found his car parked at San Carlos Beach and his flashlight underwater, but could not locate him and called off the search Monday.

P.G. Man Robs Nob Hill

Internet searching indicates a Ryan Curry is a Pacific Grove painting contractor.

Ryan Curry, 34, was taken into custody about 9 p.m. outside Nob Hill Foods, 900 Lighthouse Ave., said police Sgt. Aaron Delgado.

Police responded to a report of a man with a gun, but the suspect didn’t have a weapon, Delgado said. While in the store, the man evidently said he had a weapon or indicated he had one under his clothing, Delgado said.

People scurried from the store during the incident, Delgado said.

All police found on the man was a bottle of alcohol and food, he said. Curry was arrested on a shoplifting charge

Cedar St Timeworn

Timeworn ran a letter from the Mayor regarding the pension issue, calling out John Moore. Then chooses not to run any response from Mr. Moore due to litigation.

Because the pension question is now being litigated, I have chosen not to run your letters or your advertisements.

So, since the Times itself is being sued, is it wise to buy ads or even take it serious?

Alcohol Bans And Curfews At DLI

Posted on by

The Army told its students at the school Monday they now have a 9 p.m. curfew and are forbidden from drinking alcohol, Presidio of Monterey spokesman Dan Carpenter said.

The curfew will be for students on and off campus and enforced, in part, through random in-person checks.

“It’s the Army getting serious about changing behavior,” Carpenter said.

The program was implemented as part of the Army’s effort to crackdown on sexual assaults, he said.

Carpenter said he did not have the number of sexual assaults that have taken place at the school.

“It’s not a high number,” he said.

But over on the rec trail in 2001 a couple of Marines nearly killed a woman.

Old Beach House Opening Soon

“Small Plates” = Leave broke and still hungry.

I can’t give you an exact opening date, but I can give you the first look at the menu, an eclectic take on casual California cuisine. It focuses nicely on small plates, with a signature dish called Feast of Lanterns Firecracker Shrimp, cooked crispy and paired with a spicy, cream sauce. You also will find a regionally inspired smoked wild salmon galette with a lemon-dill crme fra”che, but then the menu takes a sharp turn toward classic French with garlicky escargot. Oysters are well-represented (cooked and raw), and small-plate prices vary from $8 to $18.

Could have been better..

Held on in tough times for 5 years. Was the foolish MST project a contributor to the final straw?

Searls

The nail in the coffin for Searle, he said, was the construction of Monterey-Salinas Transit’s JAZZ line bus stops last year. He said snarled traffic kept customers away.

MST general manager Carl Sedoryk said Monday afternoon they never heard from Wiseman during construction and noted Searle has its own parking lot and no construction took place in front of it.

He did say, however, that traffic was likely backed up in front of Wiseman’s store.

“I’m sorry to see such a long-standing member of the retail community has not been able to make it,” Sedoryk said. “I’m not certain what role though our project, if any, really had on that decision.”

Sedoryk said no claims against the transit district had been filed by Lighthouse Avenue businesses.
