Dear Readers,
New laws ordained by the State of California mean new
rules for disposing of commercial and household food
waste — rules that will take a lot of getting used to.
Mary Schley reports.
As coronavirus cases continue to decline, the Monterey
Bay Aquarium will soon start requiring visitors to be
vaccinated or prove they’re not infected. Kelly Nix has
that one.
The city council has once again extended the deadline
for restaurants to stop serving customers in parking
spaces. As of now, it’s November 12. Mary Schley has
that story, too.
The founder of one of Car Week’s most popular events,
the Concours on the Avenue, is being remembered as
someone who was caring and compassionate and had a
unique vision of what was best about Carmel. Paul Tomasi
is now former police chief, and Brian Uhler has taken
his place on a temporary basis. A Pacific Grove man has
been charged with trying to strangle the mother of his
child. A taxpayers’ group is suing the water district,
claiming it’s overcharging its constituents. Carmel’s
sign ordinance has been revamped to comply with the
First Amendment — meaning, you can say anything you
want. Some county workers disrupted a ceremony to honor
them at the board of supervisors with complaints about
the vaccine mandate. Sheriff’s deputies had to undertake
a difficult fox removal from a Carmel Valley home. An
elm tree protesters say is too important to be removed
will be left alone for now. Raises for P.G.
councilmembers will get another look. Dennis Taylor has
a preview of the high school field hockey season,
including the challenges one school faces in its tough
new division. Neal Hotelling explains why Stanford
University decided to take its first president’s name
off a campus building. We have a special section for
you, In Your Dreams, full of wonderful stories about
some of the Peninsula’s most interesting homes,
including Ed Haber’s former residence, a Big Sur home
that snuggles up to some impressive redwoods, and an
amazing remodel near the Mission. And my editorial asks
whether it’s really a good idea to pass new laws that
will not only be difficult for most people to follow,
they’ll be really hard to enforce.
