A new report by Santa Clara County shows that Gilroy is the new epicenter of increased crime in the county. Arrests in Gilroy’s 95020 ZIP code totaled 2,187 in 2017, more than 19 percent higher than the totals for downtown San Jose’s 95112 ZIP, and more than 32 percent higher than the 95111 ZIP code for southeast San Jose, according to a report released by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Crime Strategies Unit. The objective of the unit, formed in 2016, was “to engage in Intelligenceled prosecution and policing, as part of a nationwide movement toward smarter, data-driven solutions in criminal justice.” The 2017 document is the second annual report from the Crime Strategies Unit, highlighting countywide crime trends and

Crowds braved the heat on the Memorial Day holiday Monday, May 28 to

honor service women and men who paid the highest price—giving up their lives in the line of duty. Beginning the day with a Remembrance Ceremony at Gavilan Hills Memorial Park, the public continued its show of support during Gilroy’s annual Memorial Day parade.

Although there was no official car show during this year’s events, some stylish rides made their way along the parade route. The 36 vehicles began at the train station on Monterey and Seventh Street, made its way down 10th and finished at Gilroy High School.

It's going to be a rootin' and tootin' fall in Gilroy this year. More than 30 years after it ended, the Bonanza Day Parade is back. Leadership Gilroy has received approvals for a Sept. 29 parade down Miller Avenue, culminating with a festival at Miller Park.

The Bonanza Day Parade was born as a project from Leadership Gilroy, a nonprofit organization that works to develop leadership potential in participating Gilroyans. When the members came together to brainstorm ideas for their capstone project, the regeneration of the Bonanza Days came out as the winner. “The parade restores what used to be part of our history,” Leadership Gilroy member Raquel Lopez, a sixth-grade immersion teacher, said. “It’s a way to bring the community

We plan to bring them all together in this one-day event.” It will be the first Bonanza Days Parade since the early 1980s, when the four-day celebration of Gilroy’s roping and riding days ended. It will be a oneday event this year, instead of the four-day extravaganza that was staged in the past. “We met with the Gilroy City Council, the Police Department, and we have our route all planned

out,” Leadership Gilroy member Rich Chavarria said. “We’re going right down Miller Avenue.” Leadership Gilroy has been working on organizing the Bonanza Day rebirth for nearly two months. For them, the parade is a way to bring together longtime Gilroyans and those who recently moved to the Garlic City. There will be a particular emphasis on getting schools involved. “Every school will build a float, with help from their ➝ Bonanza Day, 11
