COMMUNITY LOSS: There’s lots of sadness in San Jose’s Catholic community this week about the death of Helene Lavelle, who lost a sudden battle with leukemia Tuesday at age 68. She had a 30-year sales career in the tech industry, which was surely no easy feat for a woman in a male-dominated landscape. But she shared that success with the community, serving on the boards of Presentation High School — she attended Presentation in San Francisco — and the San Jose Ballet, as well as serving on the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission. A rosary service will be held at Bellarmine College Prep at 6 p.m. March 31, and her funeral will take place at 11 a.m. at St. Martin of Tours Church in San Jose.

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, criticized the royal family for taking part in a “violent perversion,”  which could be harmful to the young prince’s “psyche,” according to ITV News. The U.K.-based nonprofit League Against Cruel Sports tweeted: “We’re disappointed to hear what #PrinceWilliam is teaching 5-year-old #PrinceGeorge.”. The incident revived complaints about Prince William and Prince Harry going out on hunts when they were younger, especially now that William, the president of United for Wildlife, last year decried how “global wildlife populations have halved in his lifetime.”.
