Farmers Market Moved North

Posted on by

It seemed as cold as the north pole on the first day on Central Avenue. Now the liquor store where the rapes occurred can have their reserved parking spaces back.

As part of the deal to move its location, the city will allow vendors who don’t live in Pacific Grove to sell arts and crafts and other non-produce items. Peppard, who said Everyone’s Harvest spent thousands of dollars on advertising for the move, said that will open the possibility more vendors will set up shop at the farmers’ market.

Party in P.G. that led to one teen driving under the influence, crashing and leaving another teen disabled for life.

Who bought the beer?

Christopher Ray Veloz, Jr., 19, is charged with hosting a party where alcohol was consumed by minors. The count, which violates Pacific Grove’s municipal code, is a misdemeanor.

Veloz, who was arraigned June 24 in a Salinas and pleaded not guilty to the charge, faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted. A pretrial conference is set for July 22.

Pacific Grove city attorney David Laredo alleges Veloz, the son of Seaside Police Cmdr. Chris Veloz, was hosting a party Feb. 21 at his Syida Drive home where P.G. High School senior Aaron Corn and other teens were present and drank beer.

Shopping For Art? Try The Dump

Is this the ‘victim’ of the Pebble Beach Art Theft shopping for replacement paintings?

One answer may come from an anonymous videographer with the YouTube moniker of Studebaker Falcon. He captures a man who looks a lot like Amadio perusing the bargain paintings at Last Chance Mercantile while appearing to make notes on his iPhone.

See What Happens When They Don’t Lock The Doors To The Mvsevm?

And now they have to take a full inventory.

The Mvsevm

Attendance in May exceeded last year’s by 80 percent, said museum director Lori Mannel. She attributes increased public interest in the museum’s programs for children and adults.

Its Science Saturdays bring scientific experts from throughout the region to the museum, other programs feature artists demonstrating their work and techniques and authors lecture on their books. The restoration of the Native Plant Garden was completed in April. These events have advanced the museum’s role as “a living field guide for the Central Coast,” Mannel said. “We’re becoming a regional resource.”

Artists demonstrating their work. Authors lecturing on their books. How many of these visits have nothing related to a museum? Sustainable P.G. kooks lapping up Dan Cort rewriting the history of his failures should not count as visits to view natural history.

Let’s give out free beer at the Mvsevm during the farmers market and we can quadruple attendance.

Tyler Tirado, you are a loser.

Arrested for DUI August 2008

No respect for those that protect your freedom. Almost reminds me about the P.G. Ice Cream Shoppe where the military are not welcome.

Tirado

Police said Tyler Tirado, of Monterey, had confronted the group of Defense Language Institute students, called them “baby killers” and struck a 20-year-old woman in the head with a beer bottle.

Officers responded around 11:50 p.m. on the 1800 block of Sunset Drive to reports of a woman with a one-inch cut to her scalp.

The victim and about a dozen of her friends, police said, were gathering on Asilomar Beach when they were confronted by another group who began making derogatory comments towards them.

Public Works Director Terminated

Another Colon-Jello come-here gets the ax. Lots of mismanaged public works projects under her watch such as the clear cutting of the butterfly trees.

By the way, can someone clean up that downtown juxtaposition of American flags, paper lanterns and X-mas lights and focus on one season at a time?

Celia Perez Martinez, Pacific Grove’s public works director for the past four years, has been terminated from her job.

The reasons for her separation from the city are confidential personnel issues, all four city officials said.

Martinez, a Salinas resident, was hired by the city Jan. 15, 2006, as public works supervisor under then-City Manager Jim Colangelo. She was named business manager May 8, 2007.

Smart Meter Backlash – For All The Wrong Reasons

Posted on by

You’d think the protests would be about loss of privacy, grossly inaccurate readings or detecting that one has an indoor pot garden (this is an article from Santa Cruz), but no. People are imagining ill effects of the RF energy by them. Is it same people that became ill when moth spraying was scheduled, but didn’t happen?

Joshua Hart said he was protesting PG&E’s smart meters after researching the amount of radiation that comes from the devices.

“It’s significantly higher than cell phones. (In) brief periods of time, you have short spikes of intense electromagnetic radiation,” Hart said. PG&E started installing the smart meters in Santa Cruz County in July.

Marilyn Garret said she has a smart meter at her Aptos home.

“It makes me feel quite ill,” Garret said. “My tremors increase and (I have) very painful headaches.”
