Mayor’s Zoom Meeting Gets Good As Goatse

This would not have happened if they had trusted the schlock website operators that know better.

And Moe? The same Moe that talks about his orgasms in meetings? He did not say his normal “the best thing to happen to P.G.”

“My wife was watching from home, and she was shocked,” Peake said. He added that former P.G. Chamber of Commerce president “Moe Ammar was there, and he said something to the effect of that it was ‘ugly. ‘ There was no laughing.” Peake, who said his State of the City address will be rescheduled, added that “city staff was aware” of the potential for hacking, “and if they had set up the meeting differently, this would not have happened.”

No, it was not John Denver.

“The Pacific Grove Police Department was notified by Bureau of Land Management employees that human remains had been partially unearthed at a known archaeological site within federal jurisdiction,” the PGPD reported.
Police Chief Cathy Madalone told The Pine Cone they were found on the 1400 block of Ocean View, an area along the coast and across the street from a city recycled-water treatment plant.

Carjacking On Forest Ave

While a passenger was in the car. Drove to Country Club Gate of all places. Looking to steal drugs?

Zachary Drehobl, 36, was booked into the Monterey County Jail on charges of carjacking, kidnapping, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, trespassing, tampering with a vehicle, resisting arrest and driving on a suspended license.

After an investigation, police suspected Drehobl had stolen a Mazda Miata out of Monterey, drove it to the Chevron station on Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove, and carjacked a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the passenger still inside. He then drove to the Country Club Gate site, the release said, where he attempted to forcibly remove the passenger.

City Council Fires Tina Rau

No to Tina Rau and other divisive applicants. Don’t forget.

Resident Carol Marquart at the Jan. 9 meeting echoed a growing number of residents’ concerns that the DEI task force is only inclusive and accepting of citizens who are in lockstep with its goals, and she called for new members to replace the incumbents.

“I’d like to see a new group of people with the same passion that you have — only less divisive,” Marquart said at the meeting.

For example, after it was discovered late last year that Rau had mocked Catholics and other Christians in a Twitter post, Rau doubled down on the comment and initially refused to apologize. Her task force colleagues also refused at first to condemn the anti-Christian comments — which some called hypocritical considering the task force promotes “diversity and inclusion.”

Losers Keep On Losin’

Hello Loser

Wachs has not lived in P.G. long enough to contribute anything of substance. And Tina Rau was an embarrassment.

Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake’s appointments to the city’s boards and commissions raised some eyebrows when the list was released in an agenda report for the P.G. City Council meeting taking place tonight, Jan. 18. In one case, it appears he snubbed his political opponent in the Nov. 7 election, Mike Wachs.

The chair of the DEI Task Force, Tina Rau, was also rejected in her bid to remain on the task force, in a surprising move by Peake who rejected two other members who wanted to retain their seats. He did appoint one woman, Marie Hunter, who in her application called into question DEI principles.

Tear Down The Parklets

Some are empty more than they are used. Some have unsafe conditions.

Parklett Parking

Prompting those letters was an 86-page report by a P.G. Planning Commission subcommittee that recommended 14 rules for parklets. Those rules would have meant all existing parklets would have to be torn down; some could have and rebuilt much smaller, and at least five of the current 13 parklets would have been eliminated entirely.

Despite pleas from restaurant owners who said the new rules would hurt their businesses in a time of inflation and other challenges, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 on Dec. 8 to send the recommendations to the City Council.

 

Some of the commission’s recommendations went beyond what was required by existing codes, said John Kuehl, the city’s chief building official. While the planning commissioners were concerned about safety, Kuehl suggested that some people’s perception of what’s safe may not correlate with laws already in place.

Jason Blad, P.G. Recreation Trail Attacker Granted Parole

Recreation trail can be a dangerous place. Now an attacker that repeatedly stabbed a young lady there is about to be freed. Not right.

The California Board of Parole Hearings, represented by two parole commissioners, granted Jason Blad parole after 21 years in California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In June of 2002, Blad was sentenced to seven years to life for attempted murder.

This was Blad’s Seventh Parole Board Hearing. The  Monterey County District Attorney’s office will request that  Gov. Gavin Newsom reverse the panel’s decision.

From the last denied parole story: The two men stabbed the woman 12 times and slashed her throat twice before leaving her for dead on the trail in November 2000. At the trial in Monterey County Superior Court, the victim told jurors she’d pleaded for her life and tried to get away, but the two pinned her to the ground and began stabbing her on each side.

Wachs On Wachs Off

Texas transplant fool (it’s the backwards hat) thought he could be mayor after living here 1 year. And the fools from Coast Weakly endorsed him?

Wachs

“It’s kind of a shock. I knew Mayor Peake would be a tough candidate to go up against,” said Wachs, who added that he hopes there is a large enough number of younger voices coming up in the future to lead the city.
Wachs, 40, entered late in the race “for his kids,” and said previously that he wants to help build a better city for them and future generations. Wachs came to Pacific Grove in 2021 from Houston with his wife and two young children. For the past two decades, his professional career has varied from creating billboards for sports teams to serving as an art director for venture capital-backed media startups.
