Mee Memorial Hospital Foundation is Raising Needed Funds through ‘Forever Roses’ in the Hospital Garden

KING CITY, Calif., — Approaching Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, it’s difficult not to notice the spectacular Memorial Rose Garden, planted more than 50 years ago by a local man wanting to honor his wife in long-term care. Decades later, the Mee Memorial Hospital Foundation tends the garden of heirloom roses, offering local residents the same unique opportunity to honor a loved one or celebrate a special occasion. In an effort to raise funds for the foundation, anyone may purchase a rose bush ($500) located around the walking path. These donations represent a “forever purchase,” meaning a loved one’s name will never be removed from the garden. People may hand-select a rose bush among the 150 still available, based on color or location. The garden is funded entirely by donations, with gifts to the garden recognized by the foundation (unless anonymity is requested). The Foundation staff works together with volunteers to take care of the roses and tend the garden, which is open to the public. To receive more information about honoring a family member in the Memorial Rose Garden, call (831) 385-7233 or email foundation@meememorial.com. The Mee Memorial Hospital Foundation’s mission is to adequately “equip, modernize, update and make aesthetically pleasant the hospital facilities.” Over the past 50 years, the foundation has raised millions of dollars for the betterment of the hospital, from fetal monitors and dialysis chairs to floor polishers. Helping support the foundation has never been easier. Donate directly to the Emergency Fund online here. Or choose Mee Memorial Hospital Foundation as your charity of choice through Amazon Smile, and a percentage of your purchases are donated to MMHF.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
