First-year students at Gavilan College who planned the basics of their futures this school year  when they started classes will receive an extra carrot: priority registration.

“Why are we continuing to build and we're in a drought? I got my water bill today and it said ‘drought alert.’ Why would the city allow people to keep building houses so they can spread what little water we have for the community members who live here to use? As a tax paying community member, I'm not happy about that. If we're in a drought, don't add more people. We need to get some fresh people in there making the decisions. They need to halt all that building.”

No services are planned at this time.

GILROY—It was a tale of two halves for Gavilan against Cabrillo.

“Every day I put a smile on,” said David Galindo, tugging at the bottom of his sweater as he spoke to a classroom full of students. “I’ll be happy at school and at home, but at night when everyone is sleeping I feel myself slowly starting to get depressed. I look outside at the stars and sometimes I just wish I could disappear because I feel like no one cares.”

The Gilroy-Morgan Hill Patriots hosted a forum Sept. 25 for candidates for the Gilroy City Council and Gilroy Unified School District. Incumbent council member Dion Bracco joined current planning commissioner and former council member Paul Kloecker at the event, held at the San Martin Lions Club, as they answered questions submitted by attendees. Gilroy Unified School Board incumbents Tom Bundros and Jaime Rosso were also in attendance along with challenger Heather Brown.

The Christopher girls tennis team was one win away from beating Monte Vista Christian and it all came down to the No. 3 doubles match. 

Well, it’s the end of the road. After three years and more than 50 columns, it is time for me to say goodbye. What started out as a dare from my best friends when I was in between jobs turned into a passion for recognizing and promoting our local wineries.
