The Atascadero Police Department is warning the public about escalating use of illegal motorcycle riding in the Salinas Riverbed. In recent months, police say there has been a surge in unauthorized motorcycle activity within the riverbed area, posing significant risks to both the riders and the community at large. Police say these actions violate local and state ordinances and also endanger public safety and the delicate ecosystem of the riverbed. The Atascadero Police Department is urging all residents and visitors to refrain from engaging in illegal motorcycle riding activities. If you are caught doing so, these are the potential consequences; Safety Hazard: Riding motorcycles in the riverbed presents a severe safety hazard to riders, equestrian riders, pedestrians, and nearby residents. The rugged terrain and unpredictable conditions increase the likelihood of accidents, potentially resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Environmental Damage: The delicate ecosystem of the Salinas Riverbed is under threat from illegal motorcycle riding. Such activities can cause soil erosion, damage vegetation, and disrupt wildlife habitats, leading to long-term environmental degradation. Noise Pollution: The loud noise generated by motorcycle engines disrupts the tranquility of the

He did his bit of smuggling, he once sang, and he ran his share of grass. Now, the late, great Jimmy Buffett is being honored by an assortment of his many friends and admirers in an all-star tribute concert Thursday night at the Hollywood Bowl. Keep the Party Going, as the show is billed, takes place seven months after Buffett died from skin cancer in September at age 76, leaving behind a lifestyle empire that reportedly made him a billionaire — and, of course, a deep catalog of wryly literate songs that blend country, pop, folk, rock and Caribbean music. In the wake of his death came warm remembrances from the likes of former President Clinton, who said Buffett’s work “brought happiness to millions of people,” and Alan Jackson, with whom Buffett recorded the No. 1 country hit “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” Elton John called him “a unique and treasured entertainer”; LL Cool J said he was “glad we had time to vibe.” Among the many acts set to perform at the Bowl are Paul McCartney, the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile

A San Francisco man suspected of vandalizing a Nob Hill mosque was arrested Wednesday evening while visiting the scene of his alleged crime for the second time in as many days. San Francisco resident Robert Gray, 35, was booked on one felony count of vandalism with damage of more than $400 and a misdemeanor violation of civil rights by damaging another property. He currently sits in a county jail. Neither Gray nor a representative were reached for comment. San Francisco Police officers responded to a call from congregants of Masjid al-Tawheed mosque around 7:55 p.m. on Wednesday. Mosque-goers told police that Gray was the man who had vandalized their sanctuary on April 4, having recognized him for security footage. Arriving officers detained Gray after they concluded he matched the description of the suspect wanted in the attack. “Through the course of their investigation, officers developed probable cause [for] arrest,” Police spokesperson Paulina Henderson said in a statement. Henderson said the investigation was still active and police were looking for more information. Surveillance video obtained by the San Francisco Standard shows a man with a skateboard
