    Playground closed for safety repairs

    On March 4, the children's playground at Vasona Lake County Park was closed for improvements. The Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department will need to replace the rubberized safety surface on the playground, said Reese Seah, the department's assistant civil engineer.

    Existing rubber tiles on the bottom of the slide and on the swing areas are peeling off and will be replaced with one whole slab. According to Seah, the project cost estimate is $20,000. It's estimated that the children's playground, Vasona's only playground, will reopen on March 29.

    The family of missing Los Gatos woman Jeanine Sanchez Harms will participate in the fourth annual Vigil of Hope, a Modesto event to increase awareness and prevention of missing persons cases. On March 9, there will be a march starting at 12:30 p.m., followed by lunch, entertainment and speakers. Law enforcement representatives will be on hand to provide information on missing person cases and prevention, as well as offer fingerprinting for children.

    Harms, 42, lived on Chirco Drive until she disappeared on July 27, 2001. Various relatives, including her parents, Jess and Georgette Sanchez, will attend the Vigil of Hope.
