Martinez tells us that somehow these Hans Haselbach, Carmel Valley ‘Out of sight’ Dear Editor, By clearing homeless sites along Highway 1, Governor Newsom will not solve the problem. Rather he’ll be, out of political necessity, moving it temporarily out of sight. He has made numerous campaign stops to tout camp closures, including one in Stockton on Aug. 5, covered by the L.A. Times. What Newsom and California’s liberal Democratic leg- islature won’t face is the fact that their own economic pol- icies, radical environmentalism and over-regulation are to blame for the homeless crisis. And remember, Newsom imposed the longest and strictest Covid-19 lockdown in America, little of which was based on science, much of which was unnecessary and all of which hurt our economy. According to Downtown Streets Team, a well regarded nonprofit, over 42 percent of our state’s homeless became destitute due to a lost job, economic hardship and/or the inability to afford housing. As of July 2021, California had America’s third most expensive housing market while ranking 49th among states for new home construction. California also had the August 27th-September 12th nation’s highest individual tax rate (13.3 percent), and gas tax (66.98 cents per gallon). And while Nevada, at 7.7 percent, had the highest unemployment rate, California was at 7.6 percent. Meanwhile, in Stockton, per the L.A. Times, “New- som’s staff kept him from putting on gloves and joining in the cleanup because it included hazardous material. New- som stared at the pile of trash, insisting that he wanted to help with the cleanup. The Caltrans workers laughed. They smiled and took photos with the governor before he headed off to Southern California for another highway cleanup.” Joe Tarantino, Carmel Gov. Newsom and Diablo Canyon Dear Editor, Gavin Newsom misrepresents the recall as partisan. In 2016, Newsom led the California Lands Commission in approving a new Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant permit without state environmental review and applauded nine more years of operation. He knew PG&E had used incorrect safety data since 1982 and altered its operating license (with NRC help) to appear in compliance, committed 29 safety violations in 2014 alone, including inop- erable backup generators (Fukushima meltdowns started when backup generators broke when turned on), and im- properly packed high-radiation spent fuel rods into storage, risking a nuclear accident, and the plant’s extensive damage to the ocean and the network of active connected earthquake faults around the plant. Friends of the Earth said in March 2015, “Diablo Can- yon should never have been constructed in the first place, and now it is clear it should not be allowed to operate another day.” His critical decision is one example of his priorities and lack of sound judgment, and why I and others support a recall.

JOHN N. ANTON August 28, 1930 – August 1, 2021 The Honorable Judge John N. Anton, of Monterey, California, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2021. He was 90 years old. Born on August 28, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois, to Nick Anton and Georgia Giannopoulos Anton, John was the first of three sons. After spending his childhood in the suburbs of Chicago, the family moved from Illinois, to California and then to Louisiana. During this time, John attended five different high schools, graduating after 3 ½ years. John was a scholar-athlete, lettering in basketball, track and field, and golf. John attended Tulane University, graduating in 5 years with a Master’s Degree in Law. He was a member of the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, which offered him the opportunity to travel on Aviation Training Cruises. Upon graduation, he was commissioned into the U.S. Navy as an Ensign on the USS Bairoko, where they were deployed to North Korea and then rushed to the South Pacific for a secret mission, Operation Castle, where he witnessed and collected samples from the Hydrogen Bomb testing at Bikini Atoll. He ended his active duty as a Lieutenant ( J.G.) and officer of the watch on the battleship USS New Jersey. After the Navy, John moved back to California to work as litigation examiner for AAA Insurance Company. An avid lover of the arts, John joined the Dramateurs in Lafayette, and enjoyed performing in local productions. It was in San Francisco during this time that he met his wife of 57 years, Marilyn Hart Skelin. In 1967, they moved to the Monterey Peninsula where they raised four children and John settled into private practice ultimately becoming partner at Dewar, Romig & Anton. In 1982, Governor Jerry Brown appointed him as a Superior Court Judge. As a Judge of the Superior Court, Judge Anton developed a reputation for being honest, fair and compassionate. He served with empathy and fostered relationships with people, many who wrote to him expressing their gratitude for the way he changed their lives. He presided over his courtroom with his ever present sense of humor, occasionally sharing a quick rendition of “Moon River” during a break or appearing as Darth Vader in juvenile court at Halloween. Judge Anton served on many boards, including Kiwanis, SCRAMP, AT&T Foundation and Rancho Cañada Golf Club. He also performed a number of memorable wedding ceremonies, always joyful to be a part of such a happy occasion. Judge Anton served on the bench for 14 years, retiring in 1996. After retiring, he continued to serve as a visiting judge in 27 counties across California until 2013. John was an avid and accomplished golfer who was fortunate to play golf courses around the world and compete in tournaments, including the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He was most proud of the “Gold Country Classic” competing against his son-in-law, Jim, and winning the “split pants” trophy multiple times. He loved to travel and toured the globe with Marilyn, enjoying many cruises with local friends and visiting relatives in Greece. Always known for his big smile, a big hug and warm greeting, Judge Anton will be greatly missed. John is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn, children, Nick Anton of Monterey, Alissa Anton of Pacific Grove, Dianna Lowell ( Jim) of Pebble Beach, grandchildren, Joshua (Rebecca) and AlecSkelin, Sarah Beth, Alexis and John Nicholas Anton, Rachelle Farnese, Luke and Sophie Lowell and two great-grandchildren, Kaden Farnese and Wesley Skelin. He was preceded in death by his stepson, Martin Skelin, parents Nick and Georgia Anton, and brothers Chris and Dennis Anton. The family held a private burial in Monterey with the assistance of Bermudez Family Funerals. A memorial celebration of John’s life will be announced at a later date. The family would like to thank Father Ion of St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church for his kindness and compassion, Hospice of the Central Coast for allowing him time at home and John Seidel for his unconditional assistance. 22A The Carmel Pine Cone September 3, 2021

Part music festival, part marketplace for jade and art, and part fundraiser for a several worthy local causes, the three-day gathering was scheduled for Oct. 8-10 at Pacific Valley School, but festival volunteers have called it off for this year. “Due to ongoing Covid concerns and the fact that Big Sur Jade Festival is held at a California public school, the necessary restrictions that would have been imposed on the festival made it impossible for us to move forward at this time, so our annual festival is postponed indefinitely, at this location at least, until this health crisis abates,” organizers announced last week.

ONE THING you can say in defense of the mask mandate proposed last week by county supervisor Luis Alejo: Its direct costs of compliance are low. Wearing a mask may be inconvenient, but masks don’t cost much and don’t take your job away or cause you to lose a year of school. What bothers us about Alejo’s plan isn’t the requiring of masks per se, it’s what might come next. Alejo’s justification for making everybody cover their faces again is very weak, and if government officials are going to go around forcing people do things for flimsy reasons, then the sky’s the limit, isn’t it? If we’re all supposed to start masking up based on an Alejo whim, you have to wonder what his highness will propose next. We call it a whim because, despite Mr. Alejo’s statement that he’s “looked at our numbers, and they are alarming,” the coronavirus data for Monterey County aren’t alarming — they’re reassuring. Every day, the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control publish updates of all the critical metrics for measuring the intensity of the coronavirus epidemic in the country, right down to the county, if not the zip code, level. Test positivity rate, case rate per 100,000 residents, hospitalizations, deaths, other illnesses people may have, the pro- portion of vaccinated to unvaccinated who are catching the delta variant — it’s all in there. And no matter which data point you choose to focus on, Monterey County looks better than almost everywhere else. Below you can see a chart we prepared Thursday afternoon with the very latest numbers for the rate of new infections in various parts of the Unit- ed States. In Monterey County, as you can see, the rate of new infections per day per 100,000 residents is 12.0. This number comes from the CDPH. Meanwhile, statewide, the same number is more than twice as high: 28.2 (also from the CDPH). And you can see the other states we sampled, all the way up to Florida, which is struggling with a rate of 92.7 new infections per day per 100,000 Floridians. (Monterey County was only that high for a few “City hall? Yeah ... just go past where the Carmel Dairy used to be, cross days during the December-January mega-surge.) the street and turn right where Orange Julius used to be, then keep walking past Alejo didn’t specify which current numbers he thought were “alarming,” where Derek Rayne used to be, then turn left where Anything Goes used to be and but whatever they were, we urge him to take a closer look and maybe even you’ll see it just the other side of where The Spinning Wheel used to be.” ask himself why, if Monterey County’s “alarming” numbers warrant a mask mandate, then why hasn’t the State of California, with its rate of new infec- healthy people.
