Henry Servin is Gilroy’s new city transportation engineer, and he’s out there “Servin” the public already. I don’t know the gentleman yet, but intend to have a reporter give him a traffic buzz soon. Had to give a fist pump at my desk when I read that he said taking a look at syncing traffic lights at Sunrise Drive, West Day Road and East Day Road along Santa Teresa Boulevard might help with traffic flow around Christopher High at peak times. Hallelujah! Servin says it takes time to coordinate with the Valley Transportation Authority, but it’s clear that “Servin” the public is about listening, driving about town, making keen observations and working through the process to a good end. Henry seems to get it.
Christopher High scored six goals in the second quarter and cruised to a 13-7 win Tuesday over Gilroy in the opening round of the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division Tournament at CHS.
What inspires you? Professional musicians inspire me, especially those, like classical pianists, that don't generally fall into the "mainstream" categories. Why? Because despite the general belief that it is difficult to make money as a musician unless they have connections, they still do what they love because they love it. Money isn't their prime motivator. Their passion for music is, and I think that's extremely brave and courageous of them.
