Freshman Taylor Slattery scored three times in the Mustangs' win

Sunshine and warm air cleared the way for a record-breaking

Gilroy native Marcel Brinson recently signed his letter of intent to play football for Minot State University in North Dakota.

GILROY — When Gilroy Tennis Club members Mike Hansen, Paul Wheeler and Marco Renella brought their proposal to restore the Las Animas Veteran’s Park tennis courts to the City of Gilroy in mid-2012, they weren’t sure what to expect. They were asking for a hefty amount of money — $28,000 — but it was just a portion of what would be needed to complete the project — they’d take care of the rest, they assured the city. But with cities tightening their budgets across the country, the idea of allocating funds to restore tennis courts almost felt like a pipe dream.

Thunder, lightning and rain, oh my.

For over 20 years Kimberlee Rossi, owner of Leedo Art & Framing has been making Gilroy a bit more arty. The sign above the store at 7436 Monterey St. sums it up: “Because the earth without art is just eh!” a play on the letters in earth.
