Docents share folklore of Steinbeck at Salinas museum - The Salinas Californian

As founding docents at the Steinbeck Center, George and Joann McKay know a lot about author John Steinbeck and his life here in the Salinas Valley. They've read most of his books thanks to their participation in the Same Page Book Club, which meets at the museum on Thursday afternoons. More volunteers like the McKays are needed, said Diane Arellano, volunteer coordinator. Near the exhibit for "The Red Pony," Steinbeck's book about a pony named Gabilan, Joann McKay said that the school groups love this part of the tour. Steinbeck had a pony named Jill while he was growing up in Salinas. Much later, when Steinbeck returned to Salinas because his mother was dying, she urged him to write this story. "We have more lore than I thought we had," Joann McKay said. He learns about responsibility and life and death, Arellano said. Another children's favorite, "The Pearl," is about an Indian boy who threw a pearl back into the sea. It's a story about the underdog which so many people around the world can relate to, Arellano said. Source: www.thecalifornian.com

Honda, reeling from recalls, hands reins to insider - Automotive News

TOKYO (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co. is turning to an insider who’s spent his entire career at the company to navigate out of a global auto safety crisis, after seven people died in its cars. Takahiro Hachigo this week becomes the eighth president of one of Japan’s most renowned companies. By replacing Takanobu Ito, whose tenure was plagued by recalls and rupturing Takata Corp. airbags, he upholds a 41-year custom of Honda presidents hand-picking their successors from within. I hope Honda won’t fall into the same rut,” said Kentaro Hayashi, a Tachibana Securities Co. analyst in Tokyo, who’s recommended selling Honda shares for more than a year. Honda has so far relied on incremental steps, such as delaying new models and doing post-production checks to improve quality, rather than more radical changes such as severing ties with Takata. Defective Takata airbags that can deploy with too much force and spray metal at motorists have led Honda to recall about 20 million vehicles, by far the most among 11 affected carmakers. Honda said Friday it will set aside an additional $363 million to cover an expansion of the recalls and confirmed that a seventh death has been linked to a Takata airbag in one of its.
