A year for pine siskins, red crossbills and red-breasted nuthatches

A what year for what? Many of our feathered friends from Canada are enjoying the relative warmth, sunshine and especially the abundant food of South Valley this winter.

Champagne has been the drink of celebrations ever since French monk Dom Pérignon discovered the libation in 1693 and exclaimed,“Come quickly, I am drinking the stars.”

W.E.R.C. animal of the month: Red-Tailed Hawk Nursed Back to Health

The animal patients arriving at the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center range from those needing "outpatient care," such as a small bird that perhaps flew into a window and suffered a minor concussion, to orphaned babies that require weeks or months to mature, to severely injured animals that need acute care and remain in our sanctuary for a long period of recuperation and treatment. All of these animals require dedication and expertise from W.E.R.C.'s staff and volunteers, but the long-term patients require the animal equivalent of a convalescent home.

Crowning the cookie

As Thanksgiving shrinks in the rearview mirror, the goodie-focused holiday season continues with festive music playing on the radio, the scent of pumpkin spice tickling the nose and colorful lights dazzling the eyes. And the taste buds?

Questions abound about new streetlamp light bulbs in town

I observe the City of Gilroy is switching streetlights from the kind with the orange glow to LEDs and have several questions. What is the replacement cost of each new light being installed? What is the monthly electrical operating cost of a new vs. the old style streetlight? Are the citizens going to see a cost savings in the first year of operating the lights? Will the city be able to recoup the cost of the old lights by selling them to another municipality and not just dumping them in the trash? How many hours of operation should a light provide before the bulb or LED will need to be replaced? Is PGE helping cover part of the cost of replacing? Thank you for investigating.
