Hi, I am calling about the vacant lot between Alexander Street and the railroad tracks on 10th Street. The same lot that once was occupied by Nob Hill Foods and Indian Motorcycles. I realize that a growing number of homeless have relocated to Gilroy in desperate need of assistance. But, what I don’t understand is why these citizens have been allowed to destroy the property by cutting through a chain link fence on a main thoroughfare giving them full access to the property for the construction of a tent city made out of cardboard. Each day it grows bigger and bigger and nothing has been done to stop it. How is it that a city that opposes the use of flags and banners for small businesses think that this is okay? Thank you.

Farmers' markets and grocery store produce aisles are jammed

When Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall joined The Roundabout Theatre to recreate the Tony Award-winning Cabaret, they brought in a nastier, gaudier and cruder production than had ever been brought to any stage. If you have seen this play before, you will immediately feel how much further they went to bring the audience to back a time of incomprehensible foreboding.

South County public officials and business people want everyone to know that Santa Clara Valley is a premier international wine region.The Wineries of Santa Clara Valley, Santa Clara County, cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy and both cities’ chambers of commerce hailed the newly labeled Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail as a victory for tourism and the business community as a whole at a grand opening ceremony Aug. 22. “The wineries here are internationally award winning wineries,” said Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors President Mike Wasserman, who represents South County on the board. “Our wineries are one of the best kept secrets in the South Bay, but it won’t be a secret much longer,” Wasserman continued. “There is no need for anyone to go outside of Santa Clara County if you want to enjoy wine.”The ceremony was held at Guglielmo Winery in east Morgan Hill, and was attended by about 50 representatives of the different organizations that organized the Wine Trail and members of the media. The SCV Wine Trail is a “collaborative effort” by the public and private sector to install permanent wayfinding signs on the shoulders of county roads directing motorists to the more than 20 wineries and vineyards in the WSCV association, according to WSCV President and Guglielmo Marketing Director Greg Richtarek. At Friday’s press conference, Richtarek specifically called out Morgan Hill resident Jon Hatakeyama and Morgan Hill Cellars winery owner Mike Sampognaro for coming up with the Wine Trail idea.Earlier this year, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to sanction the Wine Trail with more than 70 signs pointing wine tasting visitors and residents along the route that extends from north Morgan Hill through San Martin to south Gilroy. This summer, the county’s roads and airports department began installing the signs. “Many other wine regions already enjoy the significant boost in tourism enhanced by a clear, attractive signage,” Richtarek added. “It’s gratifying to have long overdue and proper recognition for the Santa Clara Valley.” Gilroy Mayor Don Gage quipped at the press conference, “If you aren’t living down in South County, you’re suffering.” The ribbon cutting ceremony kicked off a Wine Trail Celebration Weekend, Aug. 23 and Aug. 24, with barrel tastings, barbecues, winery tours, special discounts and music at wineries along the Wine Trail. Guglielmo Winery, which was founded in 1925, is the oldest continuously family owned and operated winery in the region. Guglielmo brothers Gene, George and Gary shared this history and offered tours at the Aug. 22 Wine Trail kickoff event. Tickets for the weekend events are $40 each, and can be purchased at participating wineries and the Gilroy Welcome Center.
