Chirco entertains seniors

More than 140 seniors attended a barbecue hosted by District 9 Council-member Judy Chirco on Friday, Sept. 21 at the Kirk Community Center. It is one of two annual events Chirco does with the seniors, one early in the year around Valentine’s or St. Patrick’s Day and the summer barbecue.
This year’s barbecue featured a picnic atmosphere with tables set on the lawn. Although the day wasn’t too sunny, everyone lucked out because the rain didn’t bother to come until the following day.

Vigil for John Riggins
Last month, a homeless man named John Riggins was found dead in the alley beside the Vin Santo restaurant on Lincoln Avenue. Unlike many homeless people throughout the state, Riggins was well known in the Willow Glen neighborhood and treated by residents like a friend.
Shortly after his death, a sizable group of Willow Glen residents held a vigil in his honor. Led by a bag piper, they carried candles from the alley where he died to the Boulangierie. It is a sad time for Willow Glen.
Frank Anthony Souza was arrested on Sept. 7, about a week after Mr. Riggins was killed, for the murder. He currently is in jail in San Jose. —Photos by Ashley Rodriguez Read more...
