Today we celebrate another notable woman in local history, Mayo Hayes O'Donnell - historian and journalist. According to her obituary, Her tireless half-century of work to preserve the history of Monterey earned her the title “Mrs. History”. There's a library on Van Buren Street named after her. MHOD is a non circulating research library providing an extensive collection of books, photographs, scrap books, and other historical artifacts pertaining to Monterey, Monterey County, and surrounding counties.

We have more details about Monday's reopening. Per State Health Guidelines for counties in the Red Tier based on the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, gym and fitness centers are allowed to reopen indoors at ten percent capacity. Amenities to open include group exercise classes (Mar.29), use of all fitness areas, weight training equipment, and cardio equipment. Opening hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 8:00a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A new Group Exercise schedule starts March 29. Indoor swimming pools are allowed to reopen for “drowning prevention classes”. The pools are scheduled to reopen April 5.
