Property Q Democrats send letter to president Management calling for multiple authorizations By KELLY NIX

Vacation Rental CONGRESSMAN JIMMY Panetta this week led a Management group of 30 other Democratic lawmakers in asking Pres- ident Joe Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. Panetta and California congressman Ted Lieu sent a 5OCNN'XGPV letter Monday to Biden that was signed by 29 other demo- 2TQRGTVKGU crats, including Minn. Rep. Ilhan Omar, Mass. Rep. Ayan- na Presley and California Rep. John Garamendi, in an effort to limit the president’s power over nukes. “As president, two of your most critical and solemn du- ties are the security of the country and the safeguarding of its nuclear arsenal,” Panetta’s letter says. “You alone Andy Nygard I 831-915-2863 possess the authority to order the use of nuclear weapons, hauteshelter.com which assures that nuclear weapons remain under civilian Haute Shelter Property Management Inc. control.” DRE # 02065719 Enhance security Though the letter says that, while presidents would “presumably consult with advisors” before ordering a nuclear attack, it also acknowledges there is no requirement to do so, and the military is obligated to carry out the order if it’s believed to be legal under the laws of war. In a social media post, Panetta said “Vesting a single person with nuclear authority entails real risks.” The Pine Cone asked Panetta Wednesday if he was concerned about Biden’s acuity. He didn’t address the topic but said, “My colleagues and I are requesting a straightforward review of our nation’s nuclear command-and-control structure to determine how we can have a safer nuclear weapons launch authority, not to jeopardize, but to enhance and bolster our national security.” Past presidents, according to the democrats, have threatened countries with nuclear weapons “or exhibited behavior that caused other ofﬁcials to express concern about the president’s judgment.” Since World War II, the closest the United States has come to nuclear war was the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when President John F. Kennedy was what one contemporary ofﬁcial described as “eyeball to eyeball” with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in a confrontation over deploy- ment of each country’s nuclear missiles — Russian missiles in Cuba, and American in Turkey.

‘Checks and Balances’ Panetta and his fellow lawmakers outlined several alternatives to the nuclear command structure currently em- bodied in U.S. law, including requiring the vice president and speaker of the House of Representatives to concur with a launch order and “utilizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s tracking of those ofﬁcials to ensure prompt communication.” They also proposed requiring a congressional declaration of war and authorization from Congress before “any nuclear ﬁrst strike can be conducted.” “We oughta be in Pictures….” They also note Biden’s “distinguished record and leadership on nuclear arms control” while he was senator and vice president. 7KHQRQSURðW0RQWHUH\&RXQW\ “We respectfully request that you, as president, review )LOP&RPPLVVLRQZRUNVWR ways in which you can end the sole authority you have to ERRVWWKHORFDOHFRQRP\ launch a nuclear attack, and to install additional checks WKURXJKWKHðOPLQGXVWU\ and balances into the system,” the lawmakers said.

In 2002, Livingston ran for mayor against McCloud and joined forces with two council candidates, former Mayor Ken White and former councilman Jim Wright, to try to take back control of city hall, but all three lost. While in office, Livingston helped develop the Design Traditions Project guidelines which govern the appearance of housing in town, and worked with residents and then-assistant city administrator Greg D’Ambrosio to write “Car- mel from A to Z,” a handbook answering basic questions about city rules.

Monterey’s German Premier Independent Service Center council, planning commission and other public meetings, and she frequently and passionately spoke about issues that concerned her or the CRA. Even after macular degen- eration took her vision, she continued attending, accompanied by friends who would assist her. “Most people would probably never know how sig- niﬁcant her vision challenges were,” commented realtor Adam Moniz, who befriended Livingston and her late partner (and eventual husband), Bob Kohn, in 2009. “She recognized people mainly by voice, and she could almost instantaneously match a voice with a name. In my last phone call with her the other week, she told me, ‘Adam, of course it’s you, I’d recognize your voice anywhere.’ And I think there are probably thousands of voices she could easily identify.” Moniz said Livingston had a “zest for life that was con- tagious” and described the impact she had on Carmel as “monumental.” Friend and former city administrator Doug Schmitz said Livingston tended to the city with loving devotion. “If metaphorically Carmel was a garden, Barbara was its civic gardener,” he said, taking care to protect it while scruti- nizing and eventually accepting and caring for newcomers who understood her vision.

A proclamation In recognition of Livingston’s 50-plus years of service to the community, last August, Mayor Dave Potter and the city council presented her with a proclamation extolling her “passion and integrity” and crediting her with “the most apt description of Carmel-by-the-Sea as ‘a village in Servicing the Monterey Peninsula since 1970 a forest by the sea.’” “Barbara has forcefully, consistently, compassionately Green Certified through California Green Business Network and successfully promoted the imperative need to preserve Master Technicians with over 45 years experience the unique character of Carmel-by-the-Sea,” Potter said, reading the proclamation while standing next to her on the Servicing Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover, Porsche, VW, Mini-cooper. deck of her home during a ceremony that friends and fans gathered on the street below to witness.

Building on success The cupboard wasn’t exactly bare when Anderson replaced his predecessor, Craig Johnston, Carmel’s head coach for the previous 19 years. The 2008 squad had gone 8-2 overall, winning the MTAL crown with a 6-0 record, and only nine seniors on the roster. But the ’09 team ﬁgured to be under- sized, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines, by comparison to some of its competition — a disadvantage the new coach planned to mitigate.

THE ONGOING saga of Monterey County’s hapless vaccination program can be illustrated with just a few statistics from state and federal sources. According to the California Department of Public Health and the Cen- ters for Disease Control, Monterey County has administered 14,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine per 100,000 people, while the statewide number is 19,600 per 100,000, and the national figure is 20,000 per 100,000. Even worse is the fact that our neighbor to the north, Santa Cruz County, has somehow managed to get 26,000 shots into the arms of every 100,000 people — a rate almost twice as high as what has happened here. Similarly discouraging numbers have been reported almost since Day 1 of the vaccine era in Monterey County. But here’s one you probably haven’t heard: Health officer Dr. Ed Moreno told the board of supervisors this week that 49,979 shots have been administered in the county, but the state health department says 60,904 doses have been given to Monterey County residents. Which means about 10,000 of Monterey County’s citizens have been forced to get inoculated by going somewhere else — many of them to Santa Cruz or even Watsonville. Obviously, there is no practical reason why the county’s very sorry defi- cits had to happen. Santa Cruz County doesn’t have better roads or airports than Monterey County. Their healthcare system isn’t more advanced, and as far as we’ve heard, FedEx doesn’t prefer to deliver packages there. In- stead, the only possible explanation for Monterey County’s dismal record of administering coronavirus vaccines is bureaucratic. We don’t have the vaccine because the people who control the allocation decided not to give
