Ray Magsalay cites odor but I think it’s just intolerance.
Bruiser, the pot-bellied pig that was booted out of his Pacific Grove home, has yet to actually leave. That’s despite his owners Lisa and Mark Hanes being ordered to relinquish their beloved pet.
Instead, the Hanes continue to hope things change as fees to keep Bruiser while they wait for an appeal continue to escalate. Since August 22, the Hanes have had to pay a fine of $50 a day. On Tuesday that fee escalates to $500 a day.
Don’t chop them down.
It’s the past management mishaps combined with a declining monarch population that has city officials more cognizant about how the sanctuary is currently managed. In 2009, some overly-trimmed trees were thought to cause the demise of some of the monarchs. That sparked debate and instigated a re-do of the monarch sanctuary management plan that was developed in the 1990s. Weiss was later instrumental in the process of planting a second row of eucalyptus trees along the sanctuary’s southern boundary with the theory that redundancy creates a safeguard.
Overall, he said the city is taking a conservative approach when it comes to the sanctuary’s maintenance this year, which will only include the removal of a couple of dead trees, which will be replaced with pine and cypress.
Don’t visit the trail at night. Dangerous Place.
The sardine population col-lapsed in the 1950s as a result of overfishing and changes in ocean conditions; the canneries closed, and the trains quit running through town.
Today, Monterey’s sardine history is still in evidence, although now seen through the perspective of tourism. Remaining canneries have been repurposed and filled with shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. The railroad tracks have been pulled up and replaced with a walking/bicycling path called the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail.

From unused department store to multimillion dollar condos for weekenders.
The building, a downtown staple for more than 90 years, was purchased for $5.9 million by the real estate development company for the purpose of converting it into a mixed-use property. It will include 25 luxury condominiums and 18,000 square feet of retail space. While existing businesses Jeninni Kitchen + Wine Bar, Grove Nutrition Center and Monterey County Bank will remain on the ground floor, there will be room for eight to 10 additional retail businesses.
Nekked drug users riding without a care.
Note to BART: Please require your crack-smoking riders to wear pants.
It’s bad enough that some people get away with smoking cigarettes while on BART. But a rider puffing crack in the handicapped seats while wearing a towel(?) draped over his crotch, well, that’s going to give a transit system a bad name.
Not a repeat of 1987.
Power has been restored to the more than 6,000 residents of Pacific Grove and unincorporated Monterey Peninsula who lost power after the incident, according to a Pacific Gas & Electric spokesperson.
The cause of the fire appears to be downed tree falling onto a utility pole, McCarthy adds, but that information could change as fire crews gather more information.
Highway 68 is currently closed from Skyline Forest Dr. into Pacific Grove.
Termites do your best.
“We’re about 60 percent into it,” said Jorge Rodriguez, the artist leading the project and working alongside fellow sculptors Javier Campos and Neftali Palomares commissioned to do the work. “We’re now going over the fine details.”
“The transformation of natural resources into chainsaw ‘art’ is an absurd practice within an environment such as Berwick Park,” said Coletti, in a prepared statement. “Many, including myself, want to see a living tree re-established here instead.”
The school’s food preparation teacher needs to get a food handler permit — something that can be done online — but also, the kitchen will have to be remodeled to be approved by the Monterey County Health Department.
Right now “it does not pass inspection,” Miller said. “We’re now looking for a consultant to tell us what we need for passing inspection. The board is going to have to get a contract. It will take time to design and for the county to review, then the board to approve the expenditure. That will take some time.”
Riaan and Vasti Manser, who just spent two months shoulder to shoulder rowing 2,400 miles from Monterey to Hawaii, should find themselves together not only in this life, but the next.
The South African couple, who opted to spend their honeymoon rowing their way to a place where most honeymooners go to lounge on the beach and sip from drinks with little umbrellas, on Tuesday finished they journey in a record 39 days, four hours and 27 minutes. They also severely tested their relationship.
“Past mishaps”
Fish & Wildlife to grant money for restoration and improvements.
“We walk around and talk about the state of the sanctuary and what the activities are that we have decided are good for the grove,” said Weiss. “The idea is that we want to be open and transparent about why we recommend doing certain things to keep every one on the same page about what’s happening in the grove.”
That transparency is so important to Weiss and city officials because of the past mishaps that have occurred with the city’s management of the sanctuary.
