My name is Cat and I work on the television show ‘American Pickers’. The show will film in California this spring and the hosts are looking for people in your area with unique antique collections and interesting stories behind them.  I have attached a press release, flyer and photo, and am hoping that you can feature American Pickers through your paper, website and/or social media sites. We are trying to get the word out as soon as possible, so the sooner people with large collections reach out to us the better.  Please make sure people who have one of a kind items to sell reach out to us on our phone number 1-855-OLD-RUST (653-7878), or our email, which is [email protected]. Mike and Frank only pick private collections so no stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public.   My contact info is below, don't hesitate to call me with any questions. Thank you so much for your time and help!                                                             Best,Cat Raynor, Casting AssociateAmerican Pickers on History Email: [email protected] Phone: 646-561-3617

In a world where just about every pet critter seems in need of rescuing, pregnant mares are no different, but what they need saving from is—the slaughterhouse.

Gavilan College is a gem for Gilroy and the surrounding counties and after hearing a report from new President Kathleen Rose we are encouraged with the way the school is growing in new courses, new buildings and a strong spirit of social justice.

All because of what she saw when she looked in the mirror as a little girl, Kinberly Antrim grew up shy and introverted.

Trees were felled, traffic snarled and creeks filling fast Tuesday afternoon and night, during what forecasters predicted to be the highest point of flooding for a week of rain.

There is more rain in the cards for Gilroy. Turning heavy at times Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the San Francisco Bay Area, as a Pacific storm system continues to move through the region. In Gilroy, southwesterly winds are expected to reach between 14 mph to 18 mph. Rain, that will turn heavy at times this afternoon into the evening, can leave between a quarter and half an inch of precipitation. Tonight, Gilroyans can expect showers and possibly a thunderstorm, as south/southwest winds reach 21 to 25 mph, becoming west 15 to 20 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 34 mph. New rainfall can reach between three quarters and one inch. Highway 152 continues to remain closed from 2.1 miles east of Watsonville at Hecker Pass Road & Carlton Road to the Santa Clara County / Santa Cruz County border in Mount Madonna, due to a mudslide near Mount Madonna County Park. Highway 152 is also closed 1.5 miles west of Gilroy at Watsonville Road due to a mudslide. Motorists are being advised to use an alternate route. A planned closure at Highway 129 has been delayed to deal with the detoured traffic, and is open to motorists. For the latest weather conditions go to: http://forecast.weather.gov/

Highway 152 is closed because of two mudslides, one in Santa Clara County, 1.5 miles west of Gilroy and one in Santa Cruz County, 2.1 miles east of Watsonville.

UPDATE: There are suggested evacuations for low lying areas in Gilroy, according to a city release:

Gilroy’s first combined co-working space and digital media studio is getting ready to open later this month as CMAP (Community Media Access Partnership) puts the finishing touches on its new downtown location.

The video is chilling. A woman carrying a shopping bag is walking down a vacant street at night, shops are closed, a couple passes her, but it is clear she is oblivious to the man trailing behind.
