Tommy could get another 24 years in the slammer.
Thomas Pollacci, 50, will be arraigned Thursday on three new counts of forcible rape involving two victims.
Pollacci was found guilty April 26 of raping a woman in a loft above his father’s Pacific Grove liquor store, Ron’s Liquors, two years ago.
Prosecutors said that the two alleged victims Pollacci is now being charged with raping are not the same women who testified during Pollacci’s trial in April.
Here’s the list of hopefuls that applied to replace quitter Deborah “Bankrupt” Lindsay, and some comments from their statements.
Richard Ahart – Uses the word “sustainable”. Thinks that allowing more fast food franchises can help bring revenue and then touts several fast food corporations as clients. Says he “has earned the confidence of voters during the last election”. He was dead last, getting fewer votes than David Dilworth, LOL.
Laura Dadiw – “Dadiw Associates . . Headquartered in Pacific Grove” Consultant that works from home. Prioritizes “health and welfare of Pacific Grove youth”. Sounding good until I notice she puts down 93953 as her ZIP Code. That’s Pebble Beach, dummy.
Eric Chad Fonferek – wants to “stimulate business growth” and “raise Pacific Grove’s tourism profile. Thinks that Holman building is a city asset. I thought Nadir owned it.
William Fredrickson – Mechanical Engineer. Wants to work with Moe to bring more tourists to P.G. Might know how to fix the sewers that fill up from said tourists.
Khalil Ibrahim – Arabic teacher. Long list of experiences, none that have to do with being on city council. Offers up nothing to give to the city.
Daniel Miller – 54 year resident. Came in 4th place in last election that put Bankrupt Deb in office at 3rd place.
Rudy Fischer – another misguided person that thinks Moe is “doing a lot to bring new business” and repairing sidewalks will make us walk instead of drive.
All from those nice people at AT&T.
Anyone have the luck of getting one of these big honking structures in their front yard, sidewalk or have the landscaping ripped out to make room for one?
A nationwide service outage continues to impact customers of AT&T’s VoIP-based U-Verse Voice service — users of its fiber-to-the-home TV and broadband network for phone service as well. Now home-based VoIP phone users are waiting in Internet chat queues numbering hundreds of users long seeking solutions, and at least a few customers are reporting they’re waiting on hold from their (working) Verizon Wireless phones.
Though there has been no official explanation, customers who have gotten through to support personnel have been advised that the cause is some sort of server outage. That diagnosis would appear to be contradicted by evidence that service has been restored to some areas while still down in others; and also that the outage does not appear to affect TV or broadband service.

Saw fish gets revenge?
A 30-year-old Pacific Grove man suffering from hypothermia was rescued Tuesday after his fishing kayak began taking on water in the middle of Monterey Bay, officials said.
The unidentified man called 911 about 6:20 p.m. to report a leaky hull and that he had rolled three times, officials said. The man was unable to describe where he was, but after 20 minutes realized he could determine his location by reading coordinates from his iPhone’s GPS system.
Kristopher Olinger was murdered in 1997 at the turnout by the foghorn.
Jacobo Ruelas, who was 18 when Olinger was stabbed to death and dumped on the Pacific Grove Recreation Trail, faces a potential death penalty if convicted.
Despite years of prodding by Olinger’s mother, Shell Phillips, there were no arrests until 2006, when Pacific Grove police got a “hit” between the state’s new palm print database and a print lifted from the car.
Second hand men’s clothing store. Prices were insane, I swore that this was really some kind of speakeasy or card room in the back with the old clothes and umbrellas as a front.
Anyone for a hot dog stand in front of the Mvsevm?
Next the poor sellers of “Stuff No One Wants But Would Buy To Give To Someone Else” will complain that the market is taking away their customers or not leaving any spaces on Lighthouse Avenue to park their carpet cleaner vans.
Pacific Grove’s farmers market will move a block downhill from its downtown location on Lighthouse Avenue, pending approval by the city Planning Commission.
The move was undertaken to satisfy complaints by merchants on Lighthouse that the market was taking away business each Monday.
“The complainers,” Bennett said, “have won.”
Constant fail, tax for more Library services. Need to pay for more non-reading events.
The City Council voted unanimously late Wednesday to place a parcel tax measure on the November ballot that would provide money for the city library.
The tax would need approval by two-thirds of voters to pass. A similar measure for a $95 parcel tax failed in November 2009 because only 65.91 percent of voters supported it.
Resident that was once called a “moron” by the runaway mayor Dan Cort is authoring the revision in the city’s policy on tree removal.
“I want to be safe in my own yard,” said Del Monte Park-area resident Georgia Booth, who was a founder of Residents for Responsible Change and co-author of a proposed revision of the tree ordinance — which got a lot of votes from workshop participants. “Large canopy trees don’t belong in small Pacific Grove yards.”
Eliminating the two-for-one replacement requirement was a top vote-getter, as were proposals that property owners, not the city, decide when a hazardous tree should be removed, that no permit fee for it should be charged, and that property owners who plant a tree may remove it
without a permit.
