Lent began for Roman Catholics, Protestants and Anglicans on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 21. (Eastern Orthodox Christians use a different calendar and began their observance on Feb. 19.) This is the traditional season in the church year when Christians begin their preparation for Easter. It is marked by fasting, penitence, prayer, study and special acts of charity (often called "almsgiving").

Striping concerns: "I have a big concern about pedestrian walkways across intersections. They're not being kept up. Take a look at the intersection of Leavesley and Murray. It's one of the busiest intersections in Gilroy. A while back the Dispatch put together an article on pedestrian accidents in the city and ... I think the city needs to stay on top of painting those sites for the pedestrians. Moreso, those stripes are for folks to see while they're driving vehicles. Thank you for your help. Hopefully people will learn to be aware of pedestrian crossings throughout Gilroy and make this a safer place. Thank you."
