The Pacific Grove charter only asks a candidate to declare his or her present address. Dr Nilmeier was found to reside at the residence she gave on that date.

Pacific Grove Commies Meet At Lovers point
The ceremony honors the victims and the survivors of the atomic bombs and is a call for the end of nuclear warfare.
Messages from the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be read as lanterns are assembled and towed to sea by kayaks.
The ceremony is sponsored by Women’s’ International League for Peace & Freedom, Monterey branch.
Also picked up by The Bulletin in the Council meeting minutes:
Peggy Olsen. We would like to have an event on August 9th at Lovers Point Beach. Movement to Peace And Freedom belive that the suffering of Japanese should not be forgotten. We wish to renew the call for elimination of nuclear weapons. We have applied to Recreation Department. We asked for special consideration because we don’t have 30 days.
Peace And Freedom? Where have we heard that before?
Oh, PG’s very own former first homeboy Dan Koffman and his flag of socialism…
“One day, the Flag of Peace and Freedom will fly over all the Nations of the World!” The Flag of Peace and Freedom was designed in 1984 and the Flag of Peace Organization founded in 1988 by artist Dan Koffman.
What really is Peace & Freedom? It’s Communism hiding behind a bunch of hippies..
Check out that web page design, it looks just like David Dilworths web pages . .

P.G. Beaches Attracting Salinas Gangs
Whether to avoid the cops who know they’re violating probation or to hang out without fear of attack by rivals, gang members from other Monterey County cities are being spotted more and more in Pacific Grove and Carmel.
“This is not an area where they need to constantly watch their backs. They’ll drink alcohol and go to the beach with their girlfriends,” said PGPD Lt. Tom Uretsky. “They come to P.G. because in many cases it’s considered neutral territory by the Salinas gangs.”
And police say locals should beware: A volatile situation can easily ignite if warring gang members find themselves on the same stretch of sand.
I do not shop at stores that support gangs. If there is gang graffiti on the walls, I stay away. If the workers look anything like a gang member or even imitate the look and behavior I stay away. Hear that Northridge Mall? Safeway? ATC?
