Good morning, Salinas.

CAL FIRE rescued a diver — who sustained non-life threatening injuries — at Weathers Cove in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, south of Carmel on Sunday afternoon as medics assessed him.

Seaside Police said that after 10 p.m. all fireworks are illegal as a 10 p.m. curfew on safe and sane fireworks (those that do not fly high and are sold at roadside stands) has been in effect through July 5 since June 28, and they are using dozens of cameras, microphones, and drones to track illegal firework activity after responding to four calls in the past 24 hours.

Rachelle Parks has written a children’s book titled Coco the Half-Newf — a limerick tale about a Newfoundland-Poodle mix who finds her way despite an identity crisis.

The book draws on her rescue of three-month-old Coco from Toledo and highlights the dog’s record-setting long lashes — a charming mix of gentle nature and playful spirit.

Palma graduate Jamaree Bouyea is expected to play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League next month—his participation marks a key step in his basketball career.
