For those of you with a heel-toe weighted putter or a large-flange putter, this tip is for you.

Gilroy Police released the name late Monday afternoon of the 21-year-old man who was shot and killed at Sobrato Apartments on Monterey Street July 22. His name is Martin Rojas.

Former Gilroy resident and current Olympian Shelley Olds, far left, shared this photo, and others, from London, taken this week, of her and her teammates, Kristin Armstrong, Evelyn Stevens and Amber Neben, who will represent the United States on the cycling road team that races Sunday for gold. Olds is wearing a special edition uniform that will only be worn at the Summer Games.

Three nestling Bullock’s Orioles open their bright pink mouths and demand to be fed, in this case by volunteers who feed them a special passerine diet every hour from sunrise to sunset.  They were orphaned mid-July after a windstorm broke the tree branch holding their nest and were brought to the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center still snuggled inside their hanging nest made from fibers, grasses, and bits of soft feathers.  Sporting gorgeous amber-yellow breast feathers, they are growing up fast and have just begun eating juicy mealworms.  When they’re released back to their summer habitat in Gilroy sometime next month, they will dine on wild bugs such as caterpillars and spiders, as well as fruit.  They will also drink from hummingbird nectar feeders in backyards, as well as enjoying halved oranges and suet put out for them.

An infestation of oriental fruit flies has struck Morgan Hill, with official word coming from the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture Thursday afternoon.

In what could be a crippling blow to South County’s only hospital, federal Medicare funding could be cut off for Saint Louise Regional Hospital in less than three months.

The judge presiding over the case of five men suspected of murdering Morgan Hill teen Tara Romero Nov. 4, 2011 ruled Thursday morning that the court will not release uncensored police reports to the public defender.

• Jeff Smith: Yes. No sanction or punishment will ever be enough to compensate for the lives destroyed by the sick monster Sandusky, and the criminal decision by administrators to cover it up. Unfortunately the sanctions will hurt those who had nothing to do with the crimes, namely the students, athletes, and the community as a whole that benefitted from Penn State football. Hopefully other programs will learn from this, that honesty, decency, being law-abiding, and protecting the innocent are       infinitely more important than any sports program – no matter how famous or revered it may be.
