Dear Readers,
Former police chief Paul Tomasi is returning to the
force, bringing what’s hoped will be some longterm
stability to Carmel PD. Mary Schley reports.
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors again failed to
approve a pro-Israel resolution — this time for good,
and with Mary Adams, Wendy Askew and Glenn Church voting
no. Kelly Nix has that one.
At a town hall meeting Monday night, Sen. John Laird and
Assemblywoman Dawn Addis said politicians from San
Francisco and Los Angeles are responsible for the
one-size-fits-all housing mandates that face Carmel and
other small communities.
The forest and beach commission has been debating rules
for how the beach should be cleaned — and whether it
should be done at all. CHOMP failed to convince a judge
to overturn a $9.5 million jury award in a case where a
cardiac care supervisor at the hospital claimed he was
illegally fired. Construction is underway for a new
hotel in downtown Pacific Grove. After a recent city
council meeting was disrupted by racist comments from
anonymous participants over Zoom, the P.G. council has
decided to ban comments from people participating
remotely. A shelter for homeless women and families will
open next week in Monterey. The popular owners of a
jewelry store on Dolores Street — Jason and Marijane
Johnson — died 6 months apart, and both from cancer. A
major redevelopment plan for the Hofsas House hotel got
a favorable reception at a community meeting last week.
On Wednesday the county OK’d the design for the entrance
to the 95-unit housing complex at September Ranch. A
remarkable variety of Halloween happenings are planned
around the Peninsula this weekend. Dennis Taylor says
high school athletes in several sports are plotting
paths to victory in the fall playoffs. Neal Hotelling
explains what happened when the first printing press
started operating in California in the 1830s. Jerry
Gervase wonders what it would have been like if
modern-era journalists had been there to report
happenings in the Bible. Winners of this year’s Golden
Pine Cones are unveiled in our 52-page special section.
And my editorial says the “tyranny of the majority” can
be a real problem when the majority starts acting like
they know everything.
