Looking for something free to do close to home this weekend? Gilroy residents can enjoy a free day at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park this Saturday before the park opens to the public for the season.

Another search-and-rescue effort to find missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar is scheduled for today, and will include sheriff’s office dive teams searching underwater in South County reservoirs. 

Just as the raindrops fell across the Christopher High softball diamond, senior Kayla Medrano sprinkled in the game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth inning of a 1-0 victory over North Monterey County on Tuesday.

Nearly 700 people from the South Bay and South Santa Clara Valley areas, and even a few from outside the state, trekked to Morgan Hill to volunteer their time in the search for missing teen Sierra LaMar, as police announced Tuesday their investigation has ruled out the possibility that she ran away on her own. 

Cami is a 5-year-old long haired Chihuahua who knows how to do tricks, loves to be scratched and is good with other dogs. She has been at the San Martin Animal Shelter since February and is ready to find a loving home. If you are interested in adopting this or any other animal at the shelter, please call (408) 686-3900.

Over the last week, Gilroy Police responded to several burglaries, assaults, drug incidents and even a person urinating on Monterey Street. Here are a few standout incidents.

Flowers are pretty and make people happy.

Kids soon will be clamoring for baskets overflowing with jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and Robin Eggs candies – not to mention that plastic green grass that immediately goes in the garbage (if it’s not all over the carpet first). And, while fun, it all seems a little less than environmentally friendly. Fortunately there are some other options.
