It’s Wednesday, Sept. 4, and I’m writing from Los Angeles. The flower- and candle-strewn [impromptu memorial]( at Santa Barbara Harbor continued to grow Tuesday, as more information about the Conception boat tragedy trickled out in devastatingly sad bits and spurts. After seven rescue missions spanning an area of 160 miles yielded no signs of additional survivors, authorities suspended their rescue efforts [about 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning](. Thirty-four people — 33 passengers and one crew member — are presumed dead. The names of those who perished in the fire have not yet been released, and officials say they have received more than 100 calls from family or friends who believe their loved ones were on board the Conception. Most of the people aboard the ship are thought to have been from the Santa Cruz and San Jose areas. A special team from the California Department of Justice will help Santa Barbara County officials use a rapid DNA analysis tool to identify victims. “The horrific incident is being felt deeply by our community,” Santa Cruz Mayor Martine Watkins [said in a statement](. Grief counselors [were on hand]( at a charter high school in Santa Cruz where two students are among the missing. In Stockton, the community is mourning five members of the same family who were all aboard the Conception. Three sisters — Angela, Nicole and Evan Quitasol — [were celebrating their father’s birthday]( with a diving adventure. Their father and stepmother were also with them. The three women had served as bridesmaids in a fourth sister’s wedding two weeks ago. Answers about what happened Monday morning will take time, but the National Transportation Safety Board, which will lead the safety investigation, began its inquiry Tuesday morning with a team of 16 investigators. The team will be on site for seven to 10 days and will work closely with the Coast Guard and first responders, [according to an NTSB board member](. More coverage: — How did crew members survive the fire? Their location allowed for escape, the sheriff says. [Los Angeles Times]( — Rescue operations are suspended after no signs of other survivors; 20 bodies found, 14 still missing.

[Los Angeles Times]( And now, here’s what’s happening across California: TOP STORIES The California Assembly has approved a bill to tighten the state’s school immunization law, putting the measure one step closer to reaching Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk. Senate Bill 276 now heads back to the Senate, where an earlier version passed in May. The bill comes amid the worst measles outbreak in more than 20 years, with more than 1,200 people nationwide diagnosed with the disease this year. [Los Angeles Times]( Records show that USC officials discussed how much wealthy parents could donate when their children applied. The cache of emails, which were made public Tuesday when an attorney for a father facing charges in the [college admissions scandal]( filed them in court, turns an unsparing light on how the university flags children of possible donors and other influential families for special consideration in the application process.
