Animals are link between humans, nature

For those wild animals that have been injured or orphaned, the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center strives to mend their bodies and psyches and return them to their habitats, healthy and free. Unfortunately, other animals have suffered permanent injuries and their chances for long-term survival are negligible. But after considering certain conditions, such as the animal’s disposition, age and injuries, some of them may get a second chance and become a candidate for educational programs.

WHY NOT HERE? Part 1: farms, parks to the West and South

Other cities in our region are preserving and celebrating their agricultural heritage, and in the process creating centers where that pull together their community, offer fun, recreation and a draw for tourism.  This posting and the next will show examples we can learn from:

MLB: Gimenez finding his groove in Texas

ARLINGTON, TEXAS—It’s been a busy year for Gilroy-native Chris Gimenez, but it hasn’t slowed him down. He left the Tampa Bay Rays behind and found himself back in the Bay Area after being claimed off waivers by the Oakland A’s just before Christmas.

Being a dad is a dangerous job

When I was a little girl, every single weekend my father risked his own life to ensure that my sisters and I were safe. That’s because every single weekend he took my sisters and I to the ice cream store and bought us cones. And then he willingly took the biggest risk ever and taste tested our ice cream for us to make sure it wasn’t “poisoned.”

Hunting Hollow 5K/10K Fun Run and Walk

Saturday, June 14--Don’t miss this beautiful trail run—the out-and-back course trail is a slight uphill on the way out with a few rollers along the way. As the description below states, it is “relatively flat,” but as I said, don’t be surprised by the rollers. This is a great little race with lots of energy from runners and volunteers. It is a nice introduction to trail running for those who have not done so. And for veteran trail runners, well, it is not a tremendous challenge in terms of technical running, but it is still a trail, and running in the woods is a great way to spend your morning. The out-and-back format actually works well—you can see exactly who is ahead of you and where you are in the race.

Public invited to unique Summer Fest

Perhaps some of the public has a negative stereotype of motorcyclists. Hearing their loud engines, seeing them splitting lanes while speeding down the freeway and reading about the drugs and violence associated with some bike clubs can be rather intimidating.
