SAN JOSE — Gilroy High is well on its way to its 12th straight Central Coast Section team championship.

Supervisor Mike Wasserman and the Councils must work to save Saint Louise Hospital  

For those of you wondering, as I have been lately, when exactly Daylight Saving Time starts, it’s Sunday, March 9 at 2 a.m. That’s when the clock springs forward for some inexplicable reason and, voila, an extra hour of daylight appears magically and the days grow longer marching toward summer. Leave the clock alone would be my preference. It’s just a weird cultural fluke from days gone by at this point.

Cleanup crews remained at the scene of a 1,700-gasoline spill - resulting from an accident involving a tanker truck - on U.S. 101 in Morgan Hill Friday afternoon. The traffic accident happened about 1 a.m. Thursday, when the 8,500-gallon tanker collided with a speeding 350Z Nissan in southbound traffic between the Tennant Avenue and San Martin Avenue exits, according to authorities. The collision caused the truck to leave the roadway on the right shoulder, spilling its contents into the environment. The driver of the truck was transported to area hospital with a complaint of pain, authorities said. The accident prompted staff from Fish and Game, the Coast Guard, Santa Clara Valley Water District, Cal Trans and Santa Clara County Hazmat to respond, shutting down traffic for several hours, according to authorities. And the fuel spill caused authorities to issue a mandatory evacuation of about 15 to residents living in the area near the crash. Cal Trans cleanup crews remained at the scene Friday until about 3 p.m., slowing down southbound traffic due to the closure of the western lane, according to CHP Officer Lopez. Authorities will return to the scene Monday to “do a final check and cleanup,” Lopez said. 

Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, March 7, 2014, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 11 First Street, Gilroy, CA at 10:00 A.M. Condolences can be made at www.HabingFamilyFuneralHome.com.

The woman staring out at me was not smiling. She had not seen the light of day in many years but had been kept safely hidden away, thanks to grandma's packrat tendencies, love of genealogy and appreciation for her New England roots. I rediscovered the photo last week in a box that had not been opened since 1970, when my grandma passed away.

The box board shows the game switching in the third quarter, but Sobrato’s 48-44 win over Christopher in the second round CCS playoff game changed much earlier.

GILROY — Oakwood entered Thursday’s game with a chip on its shoulder.

Come mid-June, Gilroy Gardens will host a new water feature designed to teach young children about the physics of water while they play in it and beat the heat, according to theme park administrators.
