The Hear-Old article tries to catch Miller up with the other two Sheriff candidates’ tabloid fodder.
While serving as Pacific Grove’s police chief, he says he refused to bow to pressure from City Council members who wanted friends promoted and traffic tickets forgiven, and that he did the right thing in firing parking enforcement officer Rhonda Ramey, whom he suspected of wrongfully ticketing cars so she could obtain title to them.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a 31-year-old Vacaville man who had been swept out to sea while surfing at Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove this evening.
At about 6:30 p.m., Pacific Grove police were dispatched the area after the surfer’s friend said the man might be in distress.
Pine Cone reports that accused robber Jordan Pollaccii worked at Ron’s Liquor in P.G. Yes, the same liquor store that his father Tommy worked at.
I would not patronize businesses that employ rapists, robbers or domestic abusers.
Pollacci was taken into custody at the police department late Feb. 24. “He voluntarily came to the station, and during the course of the interview, he was arrested,” Engles said. He was lodged at Monterey County Jail on $80,000 bail.
Engles could not say how Pollacci is related to Pebble Beach resident Tom Pollacci, whose rape trial is set to take place later this month, but the younger Pollacci was often seen working in Ron’s Liquors on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove, which is owned by the Pollacci family and is the scene of the April 2008 crimes alleged against Tom
Pollacci.
Ha ha, funny sign.
Sponsors of a medical marijuana dispensary named the Apothecary Inc. were served a notice of injunction by Pacific Grove City Attorney David Laredo on Wednesday, prohibiting any transfers or sales of marijuana on the property at 115 Central Ave.
Laredo named Daniel Maniscalco, Tamara Mims, Erica Gamecho and Carmen Nazay specifically in the injunction, filed on grounds that the city has declared a moratorium on issuing permits for such dispensaries.
Maniscalco told the council that no marijuana transactions had taken place on the property.
One of LighthouseAvenue.com’s premier edition articles. No progress was ever made and why nothing was mentioned in the paid media I don’t know. Prayers go out to the family of Richard Coleman.
Crime Stoppers of Monterey County is a volunteer organization that assists enforcement agencies by urging the public to call anonymously with information about criminals and crimes. The following account regards a murder that took place in Pacific Grove in 1995 of a young man who was known in the gay community.
On March 4, 1995 an unknown male called police about 9 p.m. to report what was discovered to be the body of Richard Graham Coleman III in Apt. A at 303 Grand Ave., Pacific Grove. He had been murdered.
Coleman’s body was found on the floor of the kitchen that Saturday night. There were signs of a struggle and indications of boxes and cupboards having been searched.
The victim had reported that the same apartment had previously been burglarized. Two days before the murder, he had moved to a motel room in Marina because he feared for his life.

The May 17, 1906 blaze that swept through most of the Chinese village at Point Alones seared not only the landscape of the Monterey Peninsula, but the memories and histories of its people. The fire continues to loom as some kind of Original Sin whenever there are discussions about this remarkable Chinese village tucked into the cove on Pacific Grove’s eastern boundary.
What emerged was a festival that replicated the lights of the squid boats that had been driven away. Some members of the Chinese community find the resulting festival offensive. The Feast of Lanterns folks respond that their event has nothing to do with the Chinese village.
Feast Of Lanterns Is Celebration Of Burning Down Chinese Camp
I don’t make this up.
What about not blowing thousands on web sites or tourist trolleys. If they go the foundation route (like the Mvsevm) the library will always be open though.
A “library summit” held Feb. 6 at the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum drew more than 100 people, including City Council members, library board members, city administrators, members of Friends of the Library, library staff and others, said senior librarian Lisa Maddalena.
Ideas raised included proposed new services, approaching Pebble Beach residents as a potential source of tax revenue, using taxes from medical marijuana sales in the city if cannabis clinics are approved, establishing a library foundation to raise funds, and trying, once again, to get a two-thirds majority of voters to approve a tax to keep the library open.
Nothing but waves of people gathering at the shore to watch the waves of the ocean. The shoreline accesses were all closed, leaving people to park and stand on the shoulder of the road. Then there were drivers watching the water and not the road:
The National Weather Service issued a tsunami advisory covering the Monterey County coast Saturday, but big waves failed to materialize and no major damage or injuries were reported.
Monterey Harbor officials noticed water rise 8 inches about 12:45 p.m., but said there were no problems in the harbor. The Coast Guard reported no incidents.
The National Weather Service canceled the advisory at 8:21 p.m.
Pacific Grove police officers closed parking lots along Ocean View Boulevard. The popular Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, with its dramatic rocky shoreline, was closed to visitors.
Who says the city council does not do enough for us – a business was born from an off the cuff remark. Four Stars, check it out.
Cheap Websites At Webschlock.com, a recession era startup inspired by a City of Pacific Grove councilwoman’s remark that websites created by volunteers are schlocky, announced a “49 Buck Special.” Bobby Joe, the company’s head website designer, said, “We don’t volunteer for nothing but we create schlocky sites real cheap. For a limited time we will give folks a web page for only 49 bucks and we even throw in a free domain name and free hosting for one month. If folks want to continue after the first month, we’ll give them an additional 11 months of hosting for only 11 bucks.”
And now wants to sweep the Farmers Market someplace else.
Four of five vacant storefronts on Lighthouse are filled – lessee, we have another art gallery, another nail shop and another one of those stores full of stuff no one wants but would buy as a gift to someone. The first ex-Business Center is still vacant but shows signs of something happening. Hallmark has been vacant for like 3 years.
Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, is seeing signs that the downtown economy is turning around.
Since the first of the year, five of the six vacancies on Lighthouse Avenue have been filled, leaving only the old Hallmark location empty.
Four of the five spots were filled by merchants who already have businesses in Pacific Grove, Ammar said.The chamber hired retired banker Michael Adamson last fall as business development coordinator, and he was responsible for filling three of the spots.
