Why So Few Monarchs?

Maybe the butterflies hate the tourists too. I certainly avoid places where they gather.

Butterfly Molesting

Roughly 30 people — sanctuary docents, volunteers and interested members of the public — gathered in the sanctuary Thursday morning to listen to Stuart Weiss, the chief scientist contracted by the city to develop long-term planning for the 2.5-acre site. Weiss described what goals he and the city want to accomplish to help monarchs, including dealing with tree species, microclimates and the plants monarchs rely on for nectar.

I’d buy the man a cup of coffee to move the open house signs that block the sidewalks.

The Sheriff’s Office did not release the name of the man taking brochures because of the ongoing investigation and because taking the brochures isn’t a crime, Baldwin said.

“He has some personal beliefs he is pursuing,” said Sgt. Dee Baldwin. “We want the behavior stopped.”

The man is taking brochures from publicly accessible listing locations, Baldwin said, which means it isn’t considered a crime. It would be considered a crime if he was cited for trespassing. The man would have to return to a property after receiving a warning from deputies that he can’t be there, and the homeowner or real estate agent at the property would need to want to press charges.

The man told deputies that he expects to stop taking brochures Oct. 1, according to Baldwin.

California Approved Scams Coming To A Sidewalk Near You

I just want to use the sidewalk to walk, let’s not make every little space a commerce zone. Make the business permit cost a hefty one

Pretzel carts, hot-dog stands and jewelry vendors are coming to a sidewalk near you. Monterey is adopting rules to regulate these tiny businesses following the signing of a state law prohibiting cities from banning the practice.

Three areas in Monterey Cole is recommending to the council to ban or heavily restrict vendors are at Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Recreation Trail and Fairgrounds Road.

Cannery Row is singled out because of its abnormally high volume of pedestrians and the subsequent safety issues that would present, Cole said. The restriction would prohibit sidewalk vendors between the hours of 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The restriction would be on sidewalks between David and Hoffman avenues.

Street Vendors Are Coming

Pushy carnival atmosphere is not just for Carmel cosmetic shops.

Even if the city wanted to keep food carts and other vendors off sidewalks its hands are tied, with certain exceptions. California Senate Bill 946 was passed late last year with the idea of enabling small businesses that cannot afford a storefront to also make a living.

The law, also called the Safe Sidewalk Vending Act, stipulates that California cities cannot ban vending in parks, cannot determine where vendors can operate and are no longer required to ask permission from adjacent businesses to operate. The exceptions to these mandates are spelled out specifically in the language of the legislation but can be summarized as restrictions necessary to ensure the “health, safety or welfare concerns” of the public.

Right now the beer is made in San Jose under contract with another brewer. Tope, who runs Employnet, a staffing and recruiting company based in Monterey, has spent the better part of a year soaking in the suds business from every angle.

Tope said within the next five months, PGBC will be brewing and bottling the beer themselves in either Sand City or Marina.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is hosting its first-ever adult sleepover, which means the kids are going to grandma and grandpa’s house.

The aquarium is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a 1980s themed slumber party. It’s called “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of Seaweed): An ’80s Sleepover Party,” a nod to the 1983 Eurythmics song, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” according to The San Luis Obispo Tribune.

Tickets cost $175 for non-members and $150 for aquarium members. They’re on the high-end but it includes a build-your-own-taco dinner, an ice cream sundae bar, alcohol, and breakfast in the morning.
