Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:59:22 GMT

TORONTO — Luis Matos isn’t a Star Wars fan. The Giants rookie hasn’t seen the movies. But, he said, the most enjoyable part of his second day in the major leagues was riding all the attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the recently opened exhibit at Disneyland.Why’s that?Teammates Wilmer Flores and Thairo Estrada were right there by his side.“It meant a lot,” Matos said this week in Spanish. “I just happened to go because that’s where Thairo and Flores went. … It was the first day I was actually able to spend time with them. We had a great time.”At one point in their careers, Estrada and Flores were in the same place as Matos: precocious young Venezuelans, living far away from home, suddenly the new face in a major league clubhouse. So, when the Giants began planning a team trip to Disneyland on their off day last week in Los Angeles, they knew what to do.“I know how it is,” Estrada said in Spanish. “We deci...

Q: I was traveling with a friend recently from Gilroy to Santa Nella and we passed the full San Luis Reservoir on the trip. What a sight!There is a lot of construction going on near the face of the dam along Pacheco Pass. It must be a tremendous project, as there were trucks full of materials and a series of gravel, rock and dirt yards full of raw materials to be moved somewhere else, as well as trucks driving across the top of the dam.That was an area where you could see the Tule elk that have been able to make the dam and surrounding territory their home. I think they will move back into the hills and we might never see them again. Too bad.I hope you can find out what is going on.Alma Gay Rush, Morgan HillA: It’s a $1.2 billion project to rebuild the largest dam in Santa Clara County in order to reduce the risk of the dam failing in a major earthquake. The San Luis Dam now impounds up to 2 million acre-feet of water in the San Luis Reservoir, the largest offstream reservoir ...
