There’s never a lull in the action on the Los Gatos dining scene.Parkside, in the former Boulanger space on Montebello Way, is finally open. They started dinner service earlier this month and so far, so good.“It’s going great! Really positive feedback so far,” says owner Darren Matte.As of Tuesday, Oct. 17,  Parkside is open for lunch Tuesday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m., and beginning Oct. 21, they will offer weekend brunch service from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.As soon as the railings arrive and are installed, that gigantic concrete-slathered space in front will morph from a storage area for tables and umbrellas into an actual parklet.

The grab ’n’ go case has been moved to the side wall to streamline the process of ordering takeout items from the kitchen counter. In addition to drinks and premade lunch salads, you’ll find con...

More than just an alternative pathway, CTE provides myriad opportunities for fostering innovation and learning, economic growth and prosperous communities.But even CTE has to keep pace with changing times. I know a lot of folks grew up taking auto shop or wood shop or home economics. Today, though, it’s a different world—a world that requires a different set of skills and talents that are in demand. So, we have to do more.Recognizing this need, last year I proposed a one-time county grant to the Metropolitan Education District (MetroED) to establish two new CTE programs: a nursing science program to support the growing demand for healthcare workers in our county, and an ...
