Once lived in Pacific Grove and worked in a hotel. Creepy looking, eh? The news seems to be picking up on Pacific Grove nut cases. Could it be the start of election season?

Daniel Christopher Leonard

Monterey police said Daniel Christopher Leonard, 32, was arrested by police April 27 in Olympia, Wash. Police are seeking his return to Monterey County to face charges for stalking, making annoying phone calls and possibly making terrorist threats, said Monterey Deputy Chief Phil Penko.

Police say Leonard used a voice-altering device to mask his identity and a caller ID “spoofing” service to make phone calls that were so traumatizing to some people it caused them to quit their jobs, to stop answering their phone and to fear they would be harmed.

“It was pretty vulgar, threatening and sexual innuendo,” Penko said.

Sustainability kook, bankrupt, quitter. The new generation of elected officials in P.G. continues to disappoint.

Lindsay, who was elected to the council in November 2008, said she is leaving due to family issues.

She served as the council’s representative to the Transportation Agency for Monterey County, on the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum board, and chaired the city’s Ad Hoc Water Alternative Subcommittee.

Nuts!

William Poolman of Pacific Grove has been charged with one felony count of mailing a false weapon of mass destruction causing fear. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

The Department of State Parks and Recreation cited Poolman in February for failing to pay for parking at Carpinteria State Park.

Poolman unsuccessfully appealed the citation. He sent his payment to a parking citation collection agency in Orange County and included a gram of a white substance that turned out not to be hazardous.

Authorities say he also wrote threatening messages in the letter.

City Bends Over To Political Correctness

Suspicious that this is the reason that the traditional campy Feast Of Lanterns is now held indoors to ticket holders?

Low-Sabado hasn’t forgotten that history, but the city has done little to recognize it. P.G.’s annual Feast of Lanterns replicates Chinese squid-boat lights and adopts a generic Asian theme, but doesn’t acknowledge the Point Alones village – an omission that was the focus of a recent Stanford dissertation.

Low-Sabado takes particular offense to the event’s annual play about a fictional Chinese princess, in which the audience boos the mandarin. (This year’s celebration will be scaled back; organizers cite budgetary reasons.)

Everyone’s Harvest executive director Iris Peppard said the board agreed to either keep the market at its current location on Lighthouse or move it to Central and Grand avenues near the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, Public Library and Chamber of Commerce office.

New Game: What Is Moe Ammar Talking About?

“We need it in this economy so many unemployed people and with all the depression. People need the financial help and this is a great way to generate that,” said Ammar.

Answer: Allowing Pacific Grove houses be rented at up to $10,000 a week for the U.S. Open. Is he talking about owners of homes that are good enough to net 10Gs? Or the servants in those homes? All the depression . . .
