Dear Readers,
In a wide-ranging interview, Congressman Jimmy Panetta
tells us what he thinks is going wrong at the border, as
well as what’s going right, and he also says what he
thinks this country’s moral obligations are where
immigration is concerned. Kelly Nix reports.
Carmel public schools will reopen April 19, the school
board says, and believe it or not, even the CHS football
team was out there practicing this week and has a game.
Mary Schley has that one.
The Pebble Beach Co. announced Monday that Dave Stivers
would be the company’s new CEO, effective July 1.
Stivers and current CEO Bill Perocchi both say they
expect the pandemic to be followed by a tourism boom. I
have that byline.
With coronavirus cases still falling in the county and
vaccine supplies increasing, everyone 50 and up is now
eligible to be inoculated. After being closed for a
year, the Monterey Bay Aquarium will open to members May
1 and to the public May 15. The owners of a pine that
had its roots seriously damaged during construction will
have to pay $32,000. Two orphaned bobcats have been
freed near Jacks Peak, and boy are they cute. A man was
arrested for stalking his ex-girlfriend and following
her to Carmel. An alleged child rapist was nabbed after
authorities collected a DNA sample from his facemask.
With most of their residents and staff workers
vaccinated, senior facilities are welcoming back
visitors. A wilderness group has started a campaign to
get hikers to be more responsible. The Monterey Museum
of Art joins a long list of local businesses and
institutions that will soon reopen. Neal Hotelling has
investigated the origins of that “greatest meeting of
land and sea” quote we’ve all heard a million times‚ and
what he found will definitely surprise you. We have a
special section, “Women in Business,” that delves into
the entrepreneurship, creativity and stick-to-it-iveness
of some of the Peninsula’s most interesting
businesspeople. And my editorial says the demographic
changes you see happening all over the Peninsula are
probably here to stay.
