In 2015, California became the fifth state to legalize medical aid-in-dying. It provides that a patient whose physician determines they have less than six months to live can seek a life-ending medication.

In October, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 403, meaning the law is no longer subject to renewal – the End Of Life Option Act is here to stay.

California's End of Life Option Act is now permanent. Learn about its history, impact, and the fight to make medical aid-in-dying a right.

A year-long investigation into the high cost of hospital care in Monterey County by the California Office of Health Care Affordability has concluded that a lack of competition between the three main hospitals – Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Salinas Valley Health and Natividad – is the chief reason why they are some of the highest-priced hospitals in the state.

State investigation blames lack of hospital competition for high costs in Monterey County. Experts say prices are far above average.

Say a girl expresses interest in a path in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). If she is younger, she might participate in “Operation SMART,” getting to experiment by building projects, coding games or exploring robotics. For high schoolers, Girls Inc. might bring in a woman professional working in a STEM career (an engineer, a doctor or a marine biologist) to speak or serve as a mentor.

Girls Inc. empowers young women for 161 years, breaking barriers through mentorship and education. Learn about their impact.

Younger family members are usually easier to shop for. If it’s something new and shiny, they’ll likely be enamored by it. Plus, while the older set probably has everything they want at this point in their lives, you typically don’t have to worry about that for the kids – they don’t have as many years of holiday gift-getting under their belts. Still, any successful gift-giver needs to put thought behind their shopping, regardless of the recipient’s age.

Stuck on what to get the kids? Here are some gift ideas that encourage activity and growth for kids and teens of all ages.

The town is prone to flooding every winter during the rainy season. There are vestiges of this annual tribulation even in dry times during early fall, before the rain returns: old and dusty sandbags are still stacked in walls in people’s front yards.

Bolsa Knolls residents face repeat flooding as stream management lags. County pledges action, but residents remain skeptical.
