Weather forecast:
• Dire situation for cherry growers in Santa Clara County (ktvu.com) — Cherry lovers in Gilroy face a near-total loss of local fruit this year, as Borello Family Farms and B and T Farms report almost no viable crop and no u-pick season. A warm winter, heat during bloom, and looming rain are devastating orchards across Santa Clara County, forcing growers to consider other crops and rely on insurance to survive.
• Sheriff's deputy charged with loaning AR-15 rifle to Gilroy teenager (sfchronicle.com) — Gilroy residents should know that a San Benito County sheriff’s deputy has been charged after allegedly loaning an AR-15 rifle and ammunition to a 17-year-old from Gilroy at a private dinner in the city. Gilroy police and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office investigated, and the deputy turned himself in after a felony complaint was filed.
• High Gas Prices Gouge Silicon Valley Households (patch.com) — Gilroy commuters are feeling the squeeze as surging gas prices across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties cut into household budgets and threaten thousands of jobs. A new economic report warns that higher fuel costs are rippling through construction, retail, and other industries, forcing companies like a major San Jose contractor with workers living in Gilroy and Hollister to raise prices and hunt for savings.
