Good Morning Monterey Bay

Ep. 593 - GMMB Tuesday 17 June 2025

Mari Segura filled in for Rosemary, who was otherwise engaged.

In the good news we heard of Ellie Wilson and her Moth X Human project, in which she takes data gathered on the presence of moths of different species, and uses it to generate music. Her intent is to call attention to declining moth populations.

Later we heard about a dog who recognized that a fellow was having a siezure. Bill was sure how the story would end, but he was wrong.

Ep. 592 - GMMB Monday 16 June 2025

Gail Pellerin was at the No Kings protest and told us about that. We asked if she was concerned for herself, given the attack on legislators over the weekend. Of course she is, but at the same time she reassured us that California's assembly members and senators have lots of security available to them. She is proud of the work the assembly and senate did to finish the budget and send it to the govornor recently.

In the Ag report, Michael Olson told us President Trump has directed ICE to stay out of the agricultural fields, as well as hotels and restaurants, focusing their efforts in cities. That is good news for farm workers. Govornor Newsome is eliminating the loophole allowing low grade hemp to be used to manufacture high THC edibles. Two Chinese students were caught sneaking a very dangerous fungus into a U.S. university. It attacks food plants, livestock and people. Pretty scary.

Ep. 591 - GMMB Friday 13 June 2025

Dr. Pete told us of a horse race that began in New York and ended in California. He also had a lost tortoise tale.

In good news we heard a dad story, since Father's day is approaching.

Most of the week's movies were uninspiring. The picks of the week were A Photographic Memory and the live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon.

Charlie taught us all about dhalias, including growing them in pots.

Ep. 590 - GMMB Thursday 12 June 2025

In Good News we heard about a lost tortoise that was finally found, a painting lost and then found and sold for a tidy sum, and Brian Wilson, whom we lost just yesterday. 

Gary Shapiro joined us to share lots of stories about Brian Wilson and how he made music with and for the Beach Boys.

Ep. 589 - GMMB Wednesday 11 June 2025

Good News brought us the story of a crane operator who saved a man from a burning building, and later was himself rewarded. So was a 14-year-old boy who found a wallet laden with cash and did the right thing.

Jaime Smith educated us about the differences between squid and octopus, from a chef's point of view. Rosemary told of having once educated another about English bacon.

Ep. 588 - GMMB Tuesday 10 June 2025

In good news we heard of the life of Dale Bridenbaugh, who is responsible for having made GE Nuclear reactors safer. Also, Rosemary related the story of running her car battery down at the park yesterday. A park employee got her car started and a friend got her a membership to AAA for the next time. That's a bad day turning around for sure.

John Laird gave us a good look at the inner workings of creating a budget, which he and our other legislators are doing right now.

Ep. 587 - GMMB Monday 9 June 2025

Good News today included accounts of both winners of the French Open tennis tournament, as well as of a dentist from Indiana who realized his dream of playing in the US Open golf tournament.

Mark Mozena's topics included a discouraging bit of news from the Japanese space program.

• Elon - Trump breakup will potentially have large consequences for space…
• Budget back doors to try to save (some) of NASA…
• Japan’s iSpace lander on the moon presumed lost after it stopped communicating while trying to land - reached surface at 187 km/hr
• India will send its first astronaut to the space station on an Axiom launch on Tuesday

Michael Olson pointed out that the recent woes of the Battery Energy Storage System in Moss Landing are not just a power issue, they are an agricultural issue as well. On a lighter note, he let us know about lots of opportunities coming up this summer to tour various local farms.

Ep. 586 - GMMB Friday 6 June 2025

Dr. Pete told stories of birthing cattle. We heard of four calves in one delivery. There is apparently a one in nine million chance of such a pregnancy, much less all four surviving.

Rosemary's movie pick of the week was The Life of Chuck.

Becky called to tell us what she has in store on her show. Tim Richards will discuss his resistance to a 151 foot cell tower in his rural neighborhood. Jami Wallace from East Palastine will tell us about the recent train derailment there.
