Howard Jarmy, a local author, has recently published a book of 80 short stories and essays, “Fables & Foibles.” KMTV interviewed Jarmy about his writing, and he read two excerpts from his book.

The show is scheduled to air 9:30 p.m., today and April 6, on Channel 15.

Kiwanis Gov. Larry McLeland and his wife, Yolie, will take part in the 58th annual Kiwanis Pet Parade scheduled May 14 in downtown Los Altos.

It is believed to be the first time that the Kiwanis governor, who represents Kiwanians in California, Nevada and Hawaii, will take part in the parade.
