Dear Readers,
With new cases of coronavirus continuing to decline,
California is moving ahead with Reopening Day Tuesday,
which means the elimination of most restrictions on
businesses and gatherings and even the end of facemask
requirements for people who’ve been vaccinated. Kelly
Nix reports.
The Salinas man who attacked a woman outside her home
near Carmel Beach in May 2020 has been sentenced to
25-years-to-life. Mary Schley has that one.
Despite widespread opposition, the sewer board approved
rate increases of more than double over the next three
years. Kelly Nix has the details.
Federal immigration officials have given up the idea of
housing asylum-seeking children at Camp Roberts in
Southern Monterey County. A 29-year-old Pacific Grove
man was killed early Saturday when he crashed his pickup
truck into the city’s public works department and set
the building on fire. Former President Barack Obama
enjoyed a brief vacation in Carmel and Pebble Beach this
week. An orphaned seal pup who turned up on a local
beach has finally accepted the idea of returning to the
ocean. The city council approved a much bigger budget
than they thought they’d be able to. Prosecutors are
trying to get Tom Pollacci declared a “sexually violent
predator” when he’s released from prison. One local
family is celebrating their years with a blind cat they
adopted after seeing an ad in The Pine Cone in 2006.
Backpackers in southern Monterey County are reporting
bear encounters. The city council approved a rooftop
deck for a home despite opposition from a neighbor. The
Ventana Inn has been sold for $148 million. Patrice
Pastor’s latest plans for a home on Scenic have been
OK’d by the planning commission. Objections from the
coastal commission notwithstanding, county supervisors
have decided to make parking limits at Point Lobos
permanent. In his history column this week, Neal
Hotelling gives everyone a new reason to admire Perry
Newberry. Dennis Taylor explains why Stevenson school’s
lacrosse teams are so good. And my editorial delves into
the relationship of interest rates, inflation and the
local housing market.
