Dear Readers,

Legislation that goes into effect Friday allows changes to real estate deeds to remove racist covenants dating from the 1920s. And it doesn’t have to be the property owner who makes the change. Chris Counts reports.

The man who was attacked by a Great White shark in Monterey Bay two weeks ago is making a rapid recovery — and has even been enjoying some cookies. Kelly Nix has that one.

The lonely death of a resident at a local senior home wasn’t discovered for several days — and only then because other residents started to complain about a bad smell. Chris Counts has that story, too.

New details have emerged in the sex assault charges against a man who has a law enforcement and youth volunteer background. The man charged with injuring two in a DUI crash has a history of drunk driving, according to prosecutors. Carmel P.D. say they’ve identified and arrested the man responsible for planting video cameras in the restrooms at the beach. Monterey County has started giving the coronavirus vaccine to children as young as six months. Thanks to a court decision from Santa Barbara County, Monterey County is backing off enforcement of the ban on short-term rentals along the coast. A Seaside man convicted of a murder more than 25 years ago will spend 50 years in prison. The Barnyard shopping center is for sale for $25 million. If you’ve never seen an electric streetsweeper, you’ll be impressed with how cool Carmel’s new one looks. Dennis Taylor follows the college career of one of Stevenson’s best athletes. Neal Hotelling continues the saga of how Rocky Point restaurant came to be. Jerry Gervase has the story of a Red, White and Blue baby. And my editorial says that, despite the all the current crises and shortages, the world’s interdependent economy is something to be grateful for.
