Holmans Jewelry Thieves Caught
That pose on the right should be welcome in Monterey County Jail
Police in Pacific Grove arrested two brothers from Corral de Tierra on Friday who are suspected of jewelry heists on Lighthouse Avenue.
Cmdr. John Miller said Zachary and Joseph Thomas, 24 and 23, were arrested at the Pacific Grove Police Department Friday afternoon and were later transferred to county jail for booking.
Miller said the brothers walked into Holman’s Antique Plaza on Monday. One asked to try on a gold necklace, and while the other distracted an employee, the first walked out of the building wearing the jewelry.
Pacific Grove police sent out an “alert flier” to local police agencies, and Seaside officers recognized the brothers from “previous contacts,” Miller said. An officer called the men’s parents, he said, because officers did not have phone numbers for either suspect. The parents contacted the brothers and persuaded them to turn themselves in, Miller said.
Pollacci’s Next Rape Trials
Seeking change of venue.
In the most recent charges against Pollacci, prosecutors allege he raped a woman identified as Jane Doe 1 in his father’s RV that had been parked on the far side of the Monterey Peninsula Airport, and also raped a woman known as Jane Doe 2 in the loft of his family’s liquor store, Ron’s Liquors, on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove.
The alleged rapes, which occurred in late 2008 happened as Pollacci was being investigated for raping another woman, Jane Doe 5, also at the liquor store. In March 2009 Pollacci was arrested and charged with assaulting Jane Doe 5. That’s when Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 came forward.
Jewelry Thieves Hit Holmans
The old distract the shop keeper trick
.
“And then I was going to weigh this chain and give him a price and when I turned back around he was not there. And I just didn’t know where he had gone too,” Linda said.
Linda didn’t know because she was distracted by the thieves friend who was asking her questions. Police say the same two men pulled a similar stunt down the street at Wells Jewelry. They stole a gold necklace and a pair of earrings.
Lovers Point Grill Rent Dropped During Construction
Now where will visitors be able to taste our famous tap water served ‘proper’?
Approved unanimously were amendments to a contract to operate the Lovers Point Grill, $30,000 for asbestos removal at the Old Bathhouse building at Lovers Point, and $13,500 to replace the City Hall clock tower chimes.
And they took Bindel off the lease. From the city’s web site they say needs to be replaced..
SECTION 2. The Agreement (Agreement) between the City and Cavallaro Limited Partnerships and David R. Bindel to lease and operate the property known as the Grill at Lovers Point executed on December 5, 2002, shall be modified to remove David R. Bindel as a party to the agreement.

Due to planned construction at Lovers Point Park, business shall not be conducted and the Agreement shall be modified so that no rent shall be due for the period of January 1, 2011 through a date of written notice to be issued by the City that business may recommence following construction.
Seals At Hopkins
The number of elephant seals on Hopkins beaches peaks during spring molting season and in the fall. The fall seals are mostly young males that are probably avoiding mature males at the larger breeding rookeries, Pearse said.
During mating season, male elephant seals, called bulls, engage in fierce fights for territory and access to a harem of females.
In November, Akeman observed a large bull at Hopkins chase, mount and bloody a female seal before she escaped into the water. The frustrated lover later tried to mount younger male elephant seals on the beach and chased some harbor seals away.
The bully bull seal needs a name, lets call him Tomm.
Corn Cops A Plea
No Contest = Guilty. Think this boy needs a bit of jail time.
Corn was the driver of a Toyota 4-Runner that crashed on Skyline Forest Drive in the early morning hours of Feb. 21, prosecutors said. Four of Corn’s classmates were injured in the crash.
Corn, 19, had faced a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison, but after entering the no contest plea, he now faces a maximum 9 years and 8 months in prison.
Chamber Of Commerce Story 2, Slow News Week
Make sure businesses are ready for major events that come to Pacific Grove. Refer visitors to events, places and businesses in town. Emphasize environmentally friendly events.
“Now we know who is in charge of what. We’ve met each other. Now we’ve got to work together,” chamber president Moe Ammar said after the two-hour meeting, which had a 27-member panel and 40 people in the audience. The panel included people from the hospitality industry, arts community and city officials.
Ammar, who has led the chamber for 18 years, said he holds the gatherings when the economy slips. The last such event was 10 years ago.
He last held any marketing summit a decade ago and has not noticed the economy since then? The best idea I think is to find a new Chamber Of Commerce leader.
As people described their organization’s events, Frutchey said there were some festivities he wasn’t aware of and suggested a master calendar for Pacific Grove events.
Great, we have a come-here City Manager that does not know about the quirky civic events in P.G., or what resources to turn to and find out.
It is the economy. Need to emphasize value for the dollar, which admittedly P.G. has very little of.
