The anonymous group called Peninsula Mothers United to Protect our Children sent out emails to the news media on their cause. They say, “We demand that the Pollacci family sell the business. And we also demand that Tom Pollacci stay out of Pacific Grove.”

Pollacci calls the Pebble Beach area home.

The email from the concerned mothers continues on, claiming, “He hangs out on the sidewalk harassing girls who walk by.”

Moe Ammar Dont Buy American

Chamber Of Commerce is actually discouraging people to take advantage of all the empty stores? Yet something as out there as a picture frame shop is thriving..

Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar said the business climate is particularly challenging, and he discouraged more than a few would-be entrepreneurs from launching a business because of timing.

Still, there are small-business owners such as Gobel who are finding ways to flourish. Some are launching first-time ventures. Others with established businesses are finding opportunities in expansion and acquisition.

Would YOU Show Your I.D. To A Registered Sex Offender?

Think about it ladies – a registered sex offender could be looking at YOUR name & address when you buy alcohol or tobacco at Ron’s Liquors.

Pollacci Parking For Rape Victims

Police tracked down Pollacci after he reportedly left the woman at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula with a head injury. In the following months, they gathered evidence — including having forensics specialists sweep the Lighthouse Avenue liquor store where he works — and interviewed the victim, who is not from the area.

Neither officers, nor the district attorney’s office, would reveal any further details of the case. Pollacci, who police said is a registered sex offender, is set to appear in a Salinas courtroom at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, for his arraignment

Interesting screenshot obtained via email. One does get to wonder what the circumstances are to have this removed from the Megan’s Law pages.

The same not-news article about this restaurant’s “green” pitch ran one year ago in the Hear-Old..

You should see the mountains of landfill-destined garbage and rubbish that this restaurant generates. Look at the grease encroaching the sidewalk leaking from their overflowing dumpster. See the other trash cans blocking the sidewalk. This “green” business practices is a farce.

Stock photo, I know. These are  not Lamborghinis. Seen one red Italian exotic car you’ve seen ’em all.

Red Ferraris On Golf Course

Laguna Seca is a more perfect name for sports car events.

The biggest luxury Italian car show on the Central Coast will be rolling onto the golf links of Laguna Seca in Monterey.

Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar said they hope the show will come to their links in the future.

“It’s not a dead deal,” said Ammar.

Ammar said the Pacific Grove golf course is also a good location. He said the course’s pristine oceanfront property and it’s location to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance makes it a prime spot.

Beware Of Thom Ache-Man’s Tree Posse

P.G. newcomer and former Hear-old reporter is out busting anyone who’s cut down a tree and not replaced it. He has absolutely no authority to do so. Should be removed from committee.

Acheman Book

P.G. Beautification and Natural Resources Committee member Thom Akeman told residents if they didn’t comply the city’s tree ordinance — which includes replanting two trees when one is removed- they faced penalties.

And Mayor Dan Cort said he heard from several people who thought Akeman specifically overstepped his role as a city volunteer.

“There were several letters and emails that I got from some of the people he visited and from their friends who felt it was something he shouldn’t do,” Cort said.

Though Cort said he understands the frustration and desire by some citizens to speed up city work, he said any sort of enforcement effort should be left to city employees.
