And, weather permitting, the final round will be held Sunday at Pebble Beach and will include the 60 lowest scoring pros (and ties) and 25 low teams. The winning pro will earn $1,134,000. “I have no hard feelings at all,” said Johnson of his pending return to the Monterey Peninsula after the disaster in June. “It’s beautiful here and I’ve always enjoyed coming back.

■ “Thank you for providing balanced and researched reporting and upbeat articles. I hope we have The Pine Cone around for many years to come. If it gets down to it, I would pay for the subscription to keep the paper viable.” ‘They love us ... ■ “We poll our ticket-buyers as to where they hear about our concerts. You might be surprised to they really, learn how many of them mention The Pine Cone. Thanks!” really love us!’ ■ “Thanks for the consistently great job you do with your newspaper. I regularly read several news- papers from around the country and yours has the best editorial integrity — bar none. Keep up the good work!”

■ “I look forward to The Pine Cone more than you will ever know.”

■ “The Pine Cone used to be my Friday morning habit, and now it’s my Thursday night habit. I also love the fact I can get the entire paper online when I’m out of town.”

■ “I am a regular advertiser in your paper, and I have been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your writing. It accomplishes exactly what I guess you want it to: I always want to read on. I appreciate and enjoy your talent.”

■ “I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate The Pine Cone and the fact that it seems to be the only news medium that does not feel it must serve up a diet of perversion, doom, gloom and controversy in order to glean and keep readers.”

■ “I am writing to thank you for your excellent newspaper, especially since it is available online. God Bless you and your editorial and production staff.”

■ “I love your newspaper!”

■ “I am so grateful to read all about the local news.”

■ “I just want to tell you how much I enjoy receiving The Pine Cone online ... it keeps me connected with Carmel. I love what you guys do.”

■ “I don’t know where all the good reporters have gone, but I sure miss them when I read other local papers. Keep up the good work. Your community needs you.”

■ “I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to The Pine Cone. It gives me more news in one week and one edition than the Herald does all week. You and your staff seem to have an ability to sniff out what is really important and of interest to Carmelites, weed out all the extras, and deliver it in a concise and timely manner. I can’t thank you enough for it.”

■ “I love Carmel and your enticing commentary. You’re creative.”

■ “Probably 50 people came to our event because of the article you printed. I kept asking people, ‘How did you hear about this?’ and pretty much to a person they said, ‘the article in the paper,’ which meant The Pine Cone. Thank you so much.”

■ “I have always been amazed at your editorials in The Pine Cone in that I do not believe I have ever disagreed with one of them. From taxes to the economy, to our current leaders, the crazy historical preservation efforts in Carmel, our court system, you have been a voice of sane reason in an increasingly insane world. I call you the ‘anti-Chronicle,’ and, believe me, that is a huge compliment.”

■ “Thank you for your excellent, easy-to-read, always-appreciated newspaper.”

■ “Your team is doing a great job! I have been a subscriber for a while now. The paper lets me know what’s going with my Favorite Place On Earth.”
