1. Part 1: All-Electric Hospitals Move From Concept to Construction Reality (hconews.com) — Los Gatos could see its first all-electric hospital as El Camino Health proposes a $1 billion replacement campus for its aging Los Gatos facility, targeting a 2032 opening. The plan calls for 122 single rooms, more operating rooms, a larger ER, and advanced maternity, cardiac, and cancer services, all designed to cut emissions and meet seismic standards.
2. Monte Sereno woman learns $13K check went missing from Los Gatos post office (losgatan.com) — A Monte Sereno homeowner's $13,600 check was allegedly stolen and altered after passing through the Los Gatos post office, prompting an investigation by Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police and federal postal inspectors. Investigators say thieves exploited an unsecured, unsupervised area at the local post office but now believe that vulnerability has been fixed. Residents are urged to report any suspicious bank activity or possible mail theft so patterns can be tracked.
3. Soquel expects to be in the mix in powerful PCAL Gabilan Division (modbee.com) — Soquel High's football team, a perennial PCAL Gabilan contender, will kick off its new season at home against Los Gatos before diving into a tough league slate. With a new sophomore quarterback and several key seniors returning, coach Dwight Lowery expects the Knights to remain in the title hunt. The matchup with Los Gatos offers an early test of how this retooled roster stacks up.
