Good morning, Oakland.

Rick & Ann's Restaurant, a well-known East Bay dining spot, will close on August 3 after 36 years as owner Ann Lauer prepares to retire; she will continue her catering business at a new Oakland location off 65th Street near Ashby Avenue and work on a consulting basis for two years.

An 18-year-old suspect faced court Monday for the fatal crash that killed Oakland teacher Marvin Boomer — his new attorney said he panicked when police followed him and he postponed his plea to June 20.

Parents at Montclair Elementary are angry because a racist entry from a 1940 article appeared in the new yearbook, Otter Magic — they want the book reprinted instead of using a sticker to cover the page.

School leaders held a racial equity circle and will deliver revised copies of the yearbook to families who ask for one.

Gov. Newsom pushed for looser police chase rules in Oakland after a CHP pursuit killed teacher Marvin Boomer—critics say that easing the policy risks more bystander harm and that the governor must take responsibility for the fallout.

Michael Bowen, 60, has lived for eight years on a vacant lot on East 12th Street and now the city intends to clear his encampment to allow PG&E to upgrade a nearby utility pole—despite his federal lawsuit claiming ownership of the land.

Bowen fears losing his home, his garden, and his cats as eviction moves forward next week.
