Celebrating a local veterinarian
Last Saturday, a large group gathered to celebrate a birthday with one of Gilroy’s finest. Dr. James Ebaugh was one of the city’s first veterinarians, practicing for many years. I was one of the lucky ones to work with Jim after I graduated vet school. During those first years of my career, he helped me understand that veterinary medicine is more than just caring for animals. Dr. Ebaugh combined total dedication to his work with a sense of humor that’s important for survival in this high pressure job.

‘Next Fall’: A moving look at a moment in a life
“Next Fall” is a moving story by Geoffrey Nauffts about gay rights, coming out, religion and tragedy with a mix of humor. Adam (indomitable Danny Scheie) is an avowed gay atheist who carries the heavy load of dialogue with just enough control to keep his character believable. Luke (delightful Adam Shonkwiler) is young and handsome, and raised a devout Catholic who prays for forgiveness after sex. He has not told his family about living with Adam for the past four years - but destiny has made the time and place for his coming out a hospital, where family and friends gather to hope Luke pulls through from a serious auto accident.
