For the second time, the jury deadlocked on several charges that David Stamm molested a 14-year-old boy and showed him pornography. Stamm’s defense has said the alleged victim was 18-years-old at the time, and that the sexual encounters were consenual.
Stamm then said his life was like, “A broken bottle. There are many pieces I can pick up, but there are also many slivers that will still be missing.”
Maybe those slivers are in the victim . .

“We won’t be doing what some people probably think sexologists do when we get together: There won’t be any crazy orgies or anything like that,” said Monterey’s Stephen Braveman, a certified diplomat of sex therapy and co-chairman of the four-day event. “I’m told that plumbers, lawyers and politicians have much more fun at their conferences.”
The Pebble Beach Co. announced Wednesday it is laying off 47 employees, including 14 management employees. The company had eliminated 29 jobs in November, including 24 management positions.
In a prepared statement, company Chief Executive Officer Bill Perocchi cited the economic recession as the reason for the company’s reorganization. He said the drop in business is a trend that operators of luxury resorts nationwide are contending with.

Not quite what I had in mind when the bond measures said renovate the schools – there may be no heat and the bathrooms are locked, but hey, we can play football on artificial grass.

The stadium features upgraded aluminum bleachers, synthetic grass field, snack bar, scoreboard, field house and wheelchair access. It also features an upgraded parking lot and walkway to the field.

The folks involved in the beautification hubbub in Pacific Grove are barking up the wrong tree.
I concede the expensive homes around the golf course and many homes around the middle school are well cared for, but walk along the streets that intersect Pine or Lighthouse avenues, or go into the Del Monte Park area. Walk along the sidewalks and see how often you are forced into the street because of branches, bushes, ivy or broken fences. You can’t even get many of these free-spirited, iconoclastic, willy-nilly residents to park legally.
Aren’t the homes near the middle school owned by Canterbury Woods?

. . In 1921, the Boy Scouts of Pacific Grove were assured a home in perpetuity. Chautauqua Hall’s title, however, was signed over to the City of Pacific Grove with instructions to make the building available for purposes other than scouting
Has it become politically incorrect to proudly display the presence of BSA Troop 90? There used to be a Boy Scouts Fleur de Lis symbol on the door.
