Itâs hard to remember a time when Pat Corso wasnât trying to improve life and the local economy here in Moore County.
Indeed, youâd have to go back more than 35 years, to when Bob Dedman Sr., then chairman of ClubCorp., had just made a fateful decision to buy the bankrupt, broken-down Pinehurst Resort and return it to glory. To do that, he hired Corso, then one of his young corporate executives, to lead that restoration. Corso hasnât stopped building since.
Sandhills Community College President John Dempsey is Corsoâs longtime friend, golfing partner and Vitoâs Ristorante dining companion. In a âroastâ of Corso a few years ago, Dempsey said it best when he said Corso alone isnât to credit for the good things we all enjoy today.
Stanislaus County is free from coronavirus stay-home order. What does it mean? [The Modesto Bee]
Jan. 25 Stanislaus County and the rest of a 12-county San Joaquin Valley region are no longer under a regional stay-home order, meaning that COVID-19 restrictions are lifted for some businesses and activities.
The state suddenly lifted the regional order Monday based on declining numbers of COVID-19 patients in hospitals and a four-week projection that available intensive care unit capacity will return to 15 percent or higher.
As the state lifted regional orders throughout California, Stanislaus County was immediately returned to the purple tier of California’s reopening plan. Top health officials cautioned that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over and urged people to keep wearing masks, avoid gatherings, practice social distancing and get vaccinated.
Turlock woman feeds hospital workers in honor of late husband Kraving Kebab Pizza delivered pizza and baklava to the hospital on New Year’s Day (Photo contributed).
Turlock resident Gaylene Cornell’s husband Bill passed away from cancer three years ago and when his birthday would come around on Dec. 31, she usually marked it with a donation to the American Cancer Society. But this New Year’s Eve, as the clock was counting down, she realized she had forgotten her donation and set out to put something together.
That little slip of the mind led to a community-wide effort to show their gratitude for Emanuel Medical Center employees by providing them meals from local restaurants. It’s now growing to include Turlock’s police and fire departments and emergency medical technicians.
