Drop Gilroy’s high school student community service requirement

I read the headline in the Gilroy Dispatch, “No high school diploma for hundreds?” and thought what could this possibly be that could affect so many local students. My curiosity had me read more and my concern turned into frustration and many questions.

GETTING OUT: Scenery brightens Manzanar’s dark past

I have written frequently here about the eastern Sierra. Few places in the world match the immensity and variety of natural wonders that await a visitor there; 14,000-foot peaks on each side of the Owens Valley capture the attention of most visitors, but there is much to see on the valley floor. One stands out not for its natural beauty but for its historical significance.

Pets need homes this holiday

More than 1,200 Silicon Valley animals need a home for the holidays.  Silicon Valley animal shelters are launching “Shelters First” (www.sheltersfirst.org), an awareness campaign that targets the 67% of Santa Clara county households that love pets – encouraging everyone to find their next pet at a shelter.  (That’s over 400,000 families!)  Currently, only 25% of pet owners adopt from shelters.

Courage under fire

As summer winds down, fall leaves begin their descent from green to gold, and many people in Gilroy are taking the opportunity to go on one last trip. Some are enjoying Bay Area backroads treks for the weekend, and some, like my friend Lisa, journeyed to Maui with her two children for respite after a year in which they suffered the loss of husband and father.
