With tail wagging and pink tongue flopping out the side of his mouth, a jovial pit bull dashed exuberantly toward a grinning young man who waited with outstretched arms.

GILROY—For the 26th consecutive year, Gilroy’s elementary school-aged children can take a break from the summer heat and hone their art skills at free workshops Saturday. Kids Discover Art, which includes 15 workshops ranging from Japanese origami to caricature drawing and pastel painting, takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the grassy area just south of the Gilroy Library and north of Gilroy City Hall. Children ages 5 through 11 are invited to participate.

I recently took a trip up to Camino Arroyo near Costco, where I had my tires replaced. With an hour or so to burn, I took a walk with my kids and discovered that none of the crosswalks included an audible chirp when it was time to cross. Neither was there an accompanying voice to notify the walker, or a blind person, for that matter, that it was safe to move. These are such busy intersections—it doesn't make sense that there are no guides to help people to prepare to cross. Traversing one of these intersections without enough time is dangerous and with two kids in tow, I could have easily missed my moment. What would it take to get an audible signal at these crosswalks?

Despite recent rain, work continues on the sports park Tuesday.
