I was pleased to be part of the 2015 Valentine’s Day celebration when asked to read January’s column about my 24th wedding anniversary at Live Oak Adult Day Services.

Connie Rogers' guest column and Chris Foy's article about the 700-plus-acre urban service area (USA) amendment request were very informative and quite disturbing. I, and most people I have talked to in Gilroy, treasure the small town character of our city. We hope for a focus on improving the town that we already have instead of growing it outward into the open space that we treasure as well. 

When did El Roble children’s Park become an El Roble Dog Park, too? As you can imagine, not all who bring their dogs to El Roble Park are responsible dog owners. For health and safety reasons, I no longer bring my grandchildren to the park because of the smell, urine and dog feces left behind. The dog sign and waste bags at the entrance of the park have caused a significant change to a park designed for neighborhood children to encourage its use as a dog park, too. The exponential increase in dogs and their owners at the park has also played havoc with the neighborhood dogs, who are now barking in protest at every dog not from this neighborhood. Let’s do the right thing and support a dedicated dog park for our best friend, so we can keep our children’s play area safe and healthy.

What do you get when you stir up a burping ogre with a flatulence problem, a cheeky donkey, a sassy cookie, a delightful heroine, an optimistic Pinocchio, an egocentric villain you love to hate and just about all the fairy tale characters you can get under one roof? You get “Shrek the Musical.”

GILROY—Alma Gehre’s history with the San Francisco Giants spans nearly a century.

Every buyer wants the home of their dreams for the lowest possible price. Every seller wants the most amount of money with the least amount of hassles or obligations. Often this difference of viewpoint and personal goals can collide during a buy-sell negotiation. It is the job of the Realtors to coach, guide and advise both sides so that nobody gets offended and everyone can come out a winner. It is often said that either everybody wins or nobody wins.

Morgan Hill resident Gay Rodrigues taught 25 years in public schools and is now an author with the release of her self-published “Here Comes the Sun: A Recovery Workbook” and “How Did the Phoenix Rise from the Ashes: A Recovery Story.”

The stresses of our society lead many people to suffer from addictions to drugs or alcohol, or other compulsive or dysfunctional behaviors. Many well-known programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous have been developed to deal with such problems.

Disney has taken the movie "Newsies" and turned it into a fantastic roller coaster ride with some of the most amazing choreography ever seen on stage. At times you feel you need to have a seat belt fastened for some of the dance numbers that never seem to stop.
