The City Council has banned living in cars in what is arguably the center of power and wealth in Silicon Valley. And just this week it passed an ordinance aimed at clearing out a growing homeless encampment at a busy city-operated community center, packed with dance classes, music rehearsals, yoga sessions, preschool classes and a public library. It’s an odd juxtaposition at the 35-acre Cubberley Community Center: young soccer players, ballerinas, grown-up tuba and tennis players and aspiring pianists coexisting with hard luck cases living in vehicles or sleeping in the bushes or the nooks and crannies of a sprawling building that once housed a public high school.

As usual, the program features a mix of premieres and works from the company’s repertoire. The latter category includes works like The Kiss, a romantic piece inspired by the passionate Auguste Rodin sculpture of the same name, and Three Loves, set to Robert Schumann’s Fantasie. The work demonstrates that not every aspect of love is always rosy. “It sheds light on three different kinds of relationships. One is ‘unrequited,’ another is ‘broken,’ and then there’s one called ‘enraptured.’ And so it really kind of illuminates those three kinds of relationships,” Wingrove says. In fact, human interaction can truly be difficult, the subject of another work from the repertoire called Off-Center, which is set to music by Samuel Barber and Irving Fine.

There were nine bald boys, one bald teacher and one bald parent walking around Los Gatos High School in April because they all shaved their heads for St. Baldrick’s Day. The day is marked annually to raise money for cancer research, with the LGHS contingent raising nearly $7,000. Fisher Middle School students held a St. Baldrick’s fundraiser in March that netted a whopping $20,000. Two Los Gatos women who ran in the Boston Marathon returned home safely following the bomb blasts that killed three people and injured more than 260 others. Marathoners Christine Kennedy and Lori Beveridge both crossed the finish line before the bombs went off. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Beveridge recalled. “I can’t get it out of my head.” There was far happier news reported this month as Los Gatos’ oldest and newest park opened to the public once again. The Pageant Grounds, located to the rear of the civic center, underwent a major renovation so now the park ties in with the library.
