Another Chapter In “What The Heck Is Moe Ammar Talking About?

Posted on by

Article from KSBW about cities preparing for the rush of U.S. Open tourists.

In Pacific Grove, Moe Ammar said that businesses will stay open longer because of the U.S. Open.

“Typically, a lot of the stores in Pacific Grove would close at 5 to 5:30 p.m.,” Ammar said. “For the Open, they will stay open until 9 p.m., which is really great.”

Speak for yourself you clueless fool. Maybe the wine galleries, second hand clothing and rusty garden decor shops close at 5, but there is more to P.G. than them.

Pollacci Parking Sex Offenders

Same as he said about the one he was convicted of. Notice he’s now got a public defender – wha’ happened?

Convicted rapist Thomas Pollacci entered not-guilty pleas Friday to three new charges that he sexually assaulted two other women in 2007 and 2008.

Pollacci hasn’t been sentenced on the original conviction. He faces up to eight years in prison in that case and an additional 24 years if convicted of all charges in the new case.

Moe’s Bike Race Closes Street, Attracts Few

Street was shut down all day. Aside from the bicycle riders, I’ve seen more people at a foggy farmers’ market.

Perfect weather, an easy viewing venue and upward of 300 racing entries still didn’t make the 2010 Pacific Grove Butterfly Criterium a big draw for spectators.

The race, sponsored by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce with the cooperation of the city, was organized by Central Coast cycling clubs Ghost Tree Racing and VOS Racing.

Pollacci Rape Trial Sequel

Posted on by

Attorney Liu is out, now has a public defender. What happend?

His arraignment in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Timothy Roberts was bumped to June 11 after Andrew Liu withdrew as Pollacci’s attorney for that case, and public defender J.B. Robert was appointed in his place.

J.B. Robert immediately asked for a continuation for the arraignment to familiarize himself with the case.

Liu, who defended Pollacci in a rape trial that ended in April with a conviction, will continue to represent the 50-year-old Pebble Beach resident in the original case.

Agha vs. Potter

Agha contends he was asked by Potter for a $10,000 contribution in January 2004 to Potter’s re-election campaign, and Potter asked him to make the check out to Russ Carter, who Agha contends Potter said was his campaign manager.

Agha goes on to claim that his comptroller gave the check to Potter and wrote the word “loan” on it at Potter’s instruction.

Got a copy of that canceled check, Nadir?

Looks Like No Trolley Buses From P.G. For US Open

Take the Cannery Row shuttle bus. $20 per person, free parking in the parking garage a block from Cannery Row.

One of these would have been cool:

Pacific Grove officials hoped to see a Monterey-Salinas Transit trolley bus rolling through downtown in time for the U.S. Open.

The trolley was meant to showcase the town’s history and to tourist attractions.

But the plan will have to be on hold, said City Manager Thomas Frutchey, due to a shortage of the trolleys.

Mvsevm As We Knew It Officially Gone For Good

The transformation from a resource to catalog and display real history of the area to some kind of art gallery and substainable re-education camp is complete. The quickly fading current city council team approved it. Only Dan Miller opposed the giveaway.

Doubling the length of the Museum Foundation of Pacific Grove’s lease from 15 to 30 years, and changes allowing it more control over museum funds, facilities and administration, were approved 6-1 Wednesday by the Pacific Grove City Council.

The changes were part of an agreement hashed out in February by City Manager Thomas Frutchey, Mayor Carmelita Garcia and museum foundation board president Jason Burnett as part of a six-month review of the original lease agreement approved by the council a year ago.

Ignored in the process was the Pacific Grove Museum Advisory Board, the original oversight body established by the city charter.

Former museum director Vern Yadon told the council that the charter requires review of policies affecting the museum by the museum board, particularly those involving major fund transfers, but Frutchey said he didn’t believe an advisory body — the museum board — should have oversight over a governing body — the foundation board.

Frutchey said the museum foundation faced deadlines in its application for major grant funding from the National Endowment of the Arts and needed to move ahead.
