Dear Readers,
Occupancy rates at hotels in the City of Carmel are
down sharply from last year and have reached levels not
seen since 2008. Mary Schley has the story.
Monterey airport is hoping to get a federal grant to
help launch nonstop service to Chicago. Mary Schley has
that one, too.
Peninsula residents have stepped up in a big way to help
victims of the Maui wildfires, including a fundraiser
this weekend staged by students from Carmel High School.
Chris Counts has the details.
The historic mansion on 17 Mile Drive that was heavily
damaged in a May 26 fire was demolished Monday. Still
unknown is what will replace it. The county
transportation agency is clearing a homeless camp from
the Monterey Bay shoreline. A man suspected of robbing
Macy’s in Monterey was nabbed when he tried to bail his
partner-in-crime out of jail. House numbers in Carmel
remain a contentious issue — one that has been debated
for decades. Paid parking has been debated a very long
time, too, and people still disagree about it. The
Spreckels school district has settled with a mother who
said her daughter was manipulated by teachers into
believing she was transgender. A Navy airman killed in
World War II is finally coming home to Seaside after his
remains were recovered from the bottom of the Pacific
Ocean. Your chance to tour some of Carmel’s most
interesting homes is at hand. Caltrans is redoing the
paving on Highway 68 for the third time in 3 years. The
theme for this year’s Carmel Beach sandcastle contest
has been announced. Dennis Taylor says the Stevenson
football squad is looking forward to another great
season. Neal Hotelling has more of the compelling — and
true — story of David Jacks and the cheese named after
him (not). Jerry Gervase gives a big hand to Labor Day.
And my editorial says that even if New Yorkers are
behind the Peninsula in preserving notable homes, they
quickly figured out how to get it done for free.
