A beach advisory has been posted at Lover’s Point Beach in Pacific Grove, Monterey County health officials said Wednesday.
It’s safe as long as there are no impaired drivers careening down the street.
J Ciccarelli’s report, delivered in November 2008, recommended the city consider moving the loading zone to Sinex or Fountain Avenue and prohibit parking or stopping on Forest outside of the school.
Pacific Grove Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Robin Blakely said Ciccarelli’s study looked only at pedestrian safety and sidewalks and was “quickly discredited” because it recommended moving the loading zone to Fountain Avenue, which is closed during school hours. Additionally, he said, there are already alternative drop-off and pick-up zones.
He said Forest Avenue in front of the school is “no more narrow” than other streets around the school and elsewhere in the city. If a city street is safe then drop-off should be safe, he said.
The judge also scolded Knutson for chewing gum in court.
Keegan Knutson has pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of child pornography, and he appeared in Santa Cruz County Superior Court on Monday wearing Army fatigues.
In the October police raid of the four men and teenager, authorities seized thousands of online images and videos that were shared but not sold, Santa Cruz police spokesman Zach Friend said in October.
And there seems to be no prediction of crowds in P.G.
Thousands of golf fans are heading to the Central Coast, but travel at your own risk. We found out why most police departments on the Peninsula are not stepping up patrols for the AT&T Pro-AM. In Monterey, police say they’re not adding extra patrols. In Pacific Grove, same situation, police say not a whole lot is going on during the big event. However, in Carmel, you can expect to see more officers patrolling the streets.
Shuttle Buses for $15 per person close to Cannery Row parking garages. No need to find parking in the P.G. residential area, plus there are signs of life on the ‘Row after the rounds.
Have your computers checked & blow the dust out once in a while.
Monterey fire division chief David Brown said crews were dispatched to 700 Cannery Row on a report of a structure fire in the former building of the Monterey Canning Co. When firefighters arrived they learned that a computer in the office space at the Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum had caught fire.
Tremendous strength, I’d say.
Jake Woods gestured toward a self-drawn diagram of the accident scene to illustrate where his father was standing when he was hit, and where he landed after the collision. The diagram included sketches of both vehicles, his father and himself.
“I saw Dad look both ways as he went around the back of the truck to get in,” he said. “He was outside the driver-side door, with the door closed, and I heard a loud thump when the lady hit him. After he got hit, I didn’t really pay attention to the lady. He was in the gutter, bleeding all over the place. People were screaming and I didn’t know what to do.”
Jake described watching a school employee tend to his stricken father, and seeing teachers usher students toward the school cafeteria.
He said he went by himself to the school office, where he talked with teachers. He said he watched from the office as a tow truck pulled the car that had struck his father from the scene. He said he saw a broken windshield on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Bob Pacelli’s tree project appears to be a smart thing to do.
Among his recommendations for the sanctuary are placing eucalyptus trees for more wind shelter and “habitat complexity,” trimming hazardous trees, planting more oak trees and assessing older trees and pitch canker risks of Monterey pines on the property.
Even though they are native to Australia and have nothing to do with the monarch’s historic habitat, Weiss said it was critical for the city to plant new blue gum eucalyptus trees along the southern row of the grove — and he said it should be done in February and March after the monarchs leave.
Five drugs. And barely navigated 68.
Prosecutor Steve Somers said the cause of King’s erratic driving was a combination of drugs in her blood, including the painkillers morphine and Vicodin, along with anti-anxiety drugs Xanax and Wellbutrin and the sleeping aid Ambien.
Because she had five prior DUIs and had been repeatedly warned the drugs she was taking for chronic back pain could cause drowsiness, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office accused her of murdering him. But King’s defense is that Woods’death was the result of an accident.
