Human remains have been recovered from the Moss Landing area. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office was notified early Sunday.

Following allegations of an assault that took place in Santa Cruz at a local nightclub, a statement was released on the Catalyst Nightclub’s social media pages regarding the incident.
In an interview with the victim Kulwa Apara, she responds to the nightclub’s statement.
“It’s the proper thing to do. [..] It is very late because the two eyewitnesses have been in a lot of communication with the Catalyst, and with Santa Cruz Police Department, with Santa Cruz City Council, and the mayor. […] They never once issued an apology.”
Kulwa added, “I equate it to a partner who is cheating on their spouse and they just happen to get caught redhanded and all of a sudden they’re begging their spouse. For me, true ethical behavior is when you do the right thing, even when no one is looking.”
The full interview can be found on last Thursday’s edition of KSCOs Flight 1080.

Al fresco dining parklets placed in the Capitola Esplanade could be made permanent. That’s because city leaders are deciding whether to keep these installations at the cost of reducing parking spaces when restaurants can revert to indoor dining operations.
Currently, 25% of parking available in the Esplanade is taken up by these parklets.
Various event organizers state the parking is necessary when events return to the city, and parking spaces generate $3,000 dollars for Capitola.
The proposal to make these permanent will be discussed at a Capitola city council meeting next month followed by a review by the California Coastal Commission if approved by city leaders.
On Saturday night around 11 PM, a structure fire was reported near Soquel Avenue and Cayuga Street and Santa Cruz Fire Department responded to the scene.
It took 20 minutes for fire crews to quell the blaze that was discovered burning behind the Midtown Surfshop and ended up reaching the building itself.
No injuries or victims of the fire were reported and storefront inventory was mostly saved.
Officials with the Santa Cruz Fire Department state that the fire is deemed suspicious in nature.
