Then, students across California are starting to receive new resources and opportunities in their arts education thanks to Prop 28. The funding is also helping children with special needs. And Día de Muertos celebrations are underway. KPBS is celebrating the holiday with the community in a special way this year.

Mystic A group of Old Mystic neighbors are asking the Stonington Board of Police Commissioners to address what they say is a dangerous situation on narrow North Stonington Road caused by the crowds that flock to B.F. Clyde s Cider Mill each fall.
The neighbors say large numbers of cars park along both sides of the street and people then walk to the mill, sometimes pushing children in strollers and walking with dogs. They say they have seen pedestrians and cars almost struck by other vehicles, and police officials have acknowledged the parked cars make it difficult for firetrucks and ambulances to not only access the cider mill but to navigate the street.
