He Said WHAT? Mo Ammar Has Orgasms

Orgasms when he screws the Farmers Market out of it’s downtown Monday location.

“We all had orgasms! It was heavenly,” P.G. Chamber of Commerce Moe Ammar jokes. “Like, ‘I can’t believe that this problem is solved.’”

Everyone’s Harvest director Iris Peppard initiated the March 2 get-together with hopes of heading off controversy at the March 3 City Council meeting. Peppard and an Everyone’s Harvest board member squared off with Ammar and two members of the Downtown Business Improvement District, who’d been complaining the market hurt their Monday night sales. They all agreed on moving the market to a city-owned parking lot south of Lighthouse Avenue on Saturday mornings.

Our Taxes At Work, $$ For House Flipping

Tough to imagine that there are still any unmolested homes in the retreat area that have not been torn down and replaced by re-creations by the likes of Juan The Builder.

Pacific Grove residents living in the town’s aging Victorian and Edwardian treasures who can’t afford to fix leaking plumbing, sparking electric wires and termite damage can get help from City Hall.

Pacific Grove has received federal Community Development Block Grant and state home improvement grant funding that it can draw from to help homeowners who qualify, said Laurel O’Halloran, housing program assistant for the city.

“We have some money to spend,” she said, and it must be used up during the next 18 months.

Richard Coleman Murder Case Reopens

Cops to use modern forensics – finally.

Richard Coleman

New technology incorporated in the national forensic database has given renewed hope to Pacific Grove police that they will finally close the murder case.

“We have not forgotten about this,” Police Chief Darius Engles said. “It’s an active and open case.”

He (said investigators collected sufficient evidence, so new forensic techniques for identifying palm prints and DNA will catch up with the killer.

That evidence, he said, was submitted in July to the national DNA database. The process takes months, Engles said, but police expect results.

Olga Ospina Gets $87,000 For Dead Dog

After turning down a settlement of $40,000 she finds that twice that amount is sufficient. But she still does not get what she originally wanted, to kill the other dog. Lighthouseavenue.com post, 11/9/07:

But Olga Ospina wanted a different result. “Please help me, put this dog down” she said at the hearing Aug. 16.

Olga Ospina

A Superior Court jury awarded $87,000 Tuesday to local television anchorwoman Olga Ospina, whose dog was fatally mauled in a Pacific Grove attack three years ago.

Ospina testified the incident was emotionally draining. In 2007, the city determined the Labrador was not vicious and required the dog to undergo behavioral training.

Racists Burned Down Chinatown, Celebrate Every Year

“Historian” says Feast Of Lanterns being multicultural is egg-foo-young in the face. Feast of Lanterns does an about face and plays down the whole multicultural thing.

They fished for squid using lighted boats on moonless nights, Lydon said. The lights of the boats on the bay were a tourist attraction, “like Christmas decorations on the ocean.”

Those lighted boats may well have inspired Pacific Grove’s annual Feast of Lanterns at Lovers Point, where an ersatz Chinese pageant is re-enacted.

Scott Miller Makes Good Copy

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.

Salinas Going Broke – Bankrolls Doubtful Green Cars

Tax dollars at work – making ugly slow cars that no one only elitist sustainability kooks would pay $25,000 for, if the manufacturer can deliver one. And that looks doubtful.

Check out the picture from the web site – it’s worded to make greenies bodies tingle from head to toe with sustainable schlock copy.

Green car schlock

The company’s 80,000-square-foot production site at the industrial park south of Salinas is still nearly empty and largely inactive, though the Green Vehicle Web site lists the address as its headquarters. Instead, the firm’s employees are working out of a temporary facility in Gilroy. Meanwhile, the state funding deal is still being processed, and it could be three more months before it comes through.

There have been hints of turmoil within the firm and complaints that the city’s contribution thus far has not directly resulted in any local jobs.

Jordan Thomas Pollacci

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.
