Following the state’s lead, Los Angeles County health officials announced on Monday that the region’s stay-at-home order would end, paving the way for certain businesses to reopen. Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday morning that, based on the current data, hospital capacity throughout the state, in particular intensive care beds, was projected to be at 33 percent in four weeks, reaching the benchmark for lifting the statewide stay-at-home order.

A day after snow covered the local mountains, Claremonters woke Tuesday to frigid temperatures that froze the water in this birdbath solid. The third in a series of winter storms is expected to blow through the area beginning Thursday. However, it does not appear that the overnight temperatures will be as low.

I don’t know if it was just me, but it seems as though Martin Luther King Day was surrounded by so many life changing events, it barely gave anyone time to think about the contributions he made during a day set aside for his memory. So we went to the COURIER archives to look for the first edition published after MLK’s assassination. It just so happened that two days after MLK’s death on April 4, 1968, the COURIER published its regular Saturday edition.
