You can’t eat it, smell it or braid it, but in the nearly quarter century since its creation it has become an iconic symbol of the city that garlic put on the international map. Yet the designer of the sprawling downtown mural that boldly proclaims Gilroy, Garlic Capital of the World, has gone largely unheralded and long ago lost track of his original drawings for the colorful, bucolic image of garlic farming that has adorned everything from postcards to websites since it was painted by a visiting Italian muralist in 1993. That changed this week when former Gilroyan Martin Roberson, a 53-year-old San Jose tattoo artist and owner of Lucky Tattoo, was presented in front of the artwork with a framed original of one of his drawings for the mural – and perhaps the only one that exists. Heather Simpson-Bluhm presented it. She is the daughter of Caryl Simpson, the mural’s patron,
who died after a short battle with cancer in June 2015 at the age of 67. Roberson said he still recalls being hired by the neophyte businesswoman Simpson while a Gilroy High School student, and designing t-shirts for her silkscreen printing company. He’d lost touch with the family but after her death sent her children a poignant note explaining all she meant to him. He and his wife, Lori, and Simpson-Bluhm, 48, and her brother, Ted, 46, have since rekindled their friendship and have become close friends. Roberson even created a tattoo for each that honors their mom, according to Simpson-Bluhm. She and her husband, Greg, have a daughter, Hannah Caryl, 13, who is Simpson’s only grandchild. “She was everything to my mom,” said Simpson-Bluhm, who remains active in the company her mother founded. Roberson said Simpson taught him all he knows about running a business and really launched his successful career as an artist – not to mention her contributions to the city.
Alexander Station rumors swirl WHAT’S WITH GILROY’S TALLEST AND MOST CONTROVERSIAL BUILDING?
and owner of the building, the Idaho-based Pacific Companies, the apartments will fill a gaping void of affordable housing in Gilroy as rents in Santa Clara County continue to soar and outof-towners will not be favored. Alexander Station Apartments, the twin five-story, 262-unit construction project, is one of the most visible sights in downtown Gilroy, towering above everything else in the city. It will have 18 one-bedroom apartments; 110 two-bedrooms; 100 three-bedrooms and 32 fourbedrooms at rents between $1,076 and $1,997 a month. Each unit will be allowed two people per bedroom plus another person, prompting Gilroyans to question whether there is enough parking and rooms in schools for the new people. “Gilroy had a need for
affordable housing,” said Denise Carter, the Chief Portfolio Officer with Pacific Companies, based in Eagle, Idaho. “We're building in Hollister, Salinas and we're trying to find rural properties and fill a need that those communities may have. We saw the growth that was happening outside of the San Francisco area, and we have done other projects in the Bay Area and we saw that the growth was shifting outside of the San Jose area.” For housing to be considered affordable, the tenant must have an income four times the amount of rent. To be qualified to rent at Alexander Station an applicant’s monthly income must be two times the amount of rent. Section 8 vouchers, which allow those in need to get state funds, will be accepted but not issued

Gilroyans say the Alexander Station Apartments, a $95 million project on the corner of 10th Street and Alexander, will be filled with residents bused in from Oakland and will lower the quality of the neighborhood. They say there aren’t enough classrooms for the kids and the future students will be bused to far away schools, rather than those they can walk to. Yet, according to the builder 58015 02001

“A lot of people don’t realize how much she did for Gilroy, the downtown association would not have happened if it was not for her, she spearheaded the whole thing,” said Roberson, who still fondly recalls a downtown replete with mom and pop drug and a hardware stores, all the fading trapping of bustling, small-town America. “She was trying to help everyone, all the small businesses,” he said of Simpson’s efforts, which sometimes put her at odds with the folks. After she started her own condiment company and named it Garlic Festival Foods, she was even sued by the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, which owns and runs the popular annual event that draws around 100,000 visitors a year to the city. Simpson won—and the enormously and still growing company she founded still boasts the Internet address of www.garlicfestival.com. “She was tough as nails but had a big heart,” Roberson said of
Friday is Locals Day and South Valley residents will be treated with a discount when buying tickets at the gate.

Bowe severed as a human guinea pig testing out the bands. “We battle tested those,” Bowe said. “My staff and I wore those for a week to make sure they were comfortable. You won’t even notice it’s there.” Kid’s pricing has been adjusted this year, helping the Garlic Festival retain its family friendly reputation. Tickets are free for kids 10-years old and younger. Tickets are $10 for ages 10 through 16. “We pride ourselves on being family friendly, so we’re trying to make it easier for families to bring their kids and enjoy the festival,” Bowe said. Discounted advance tickets are back this year.

WET-WHISTLE Owner and operator Dustin Evanger envisioned a place where bartenders would drink.
Barkeeper inspired watering hole BARTENDERS UNION EXPECTED TO OPEN IN AUGUST By Bryce Stoepfel
For Bartenders Union Local 408, a new bar that will open where the old El Azteca Bar was on Monterey Road, owner and operator Dustin Evanger had a simple philosophy in mind. What kind of bar would a bartender want? “This whole place is inspired to be a place where bartenders would go and hang out at themselves,” Evanger, 37 said. Evanger, his father James and father-in-law Terry Meister, spent June and July ripping out the of the building he and his wife Carrie bought, updating the old watering hole into a sleek, new, downtown hangout, decked with pool tables, dart boards with 20 beers and four wines on tap as well as a fully stocked bar. Evanger hopes to be open in mid-August pending approval from the Health Department and the city of Gilroy, who both need to do walkthroughs. “It’s basically a total overhaul,” Evanger said. “We’ve ripped everything out and completely redecorated everything.” At Bartenders Union
Local 408, Evanger has eschewed live music and a dance floor for a jukebox. For someone who wants to wet their whistle with a cold pint of craft beer, play a game of pool or watch a Raiders game without a DJ blasting out the hits in the background, Evanger envisions Bartenders Local 408 as the place to go in downtown Gilroy. “This is really going to be a place to hang out,” Evanger said. The bar hit a snag when on July 3, the dump trailer they used to haul away debris, was stolen. “We had the trailer locked up in the back of the building and some guy just came in and snapped the lock and took off with it,” Evanger said. “We constantly were making trips to the dump and that really stalled what we were doing. We’re back on track now.” Evanger is not new to the bar and restaurant business and took much of his inspiration from his former ownership of The Hill Bar and Grill in Morgan Hill. “I sold The Hill back in October and this building, kinda, came across my desk,” Evanger said. “I looked into it and I looked into Gilroy and I liked what I saw.” Originally from Monterey, the Evangers have found the South
Valley to be a great mix of family, fun and business opportunities. “I like how this area is close to a little bit of everything,” Evanger said. “We’re close to family in Monterey and the beach in Santa Cruz and close to the city in San Jose, but we still have that small town feel which is important to us as we raise our family.” As Evanger works to overhaul the building, the remnants of what had been the El Azteca Bar are gone, making the building look almost brand new from the storefront to the interior. “There was a lot of rotten drywall we needed to tear out along with black curtains they were using as ceilings and we replaced that we corrugated steel,” Evanger said. “We’re keeping the original bar, but we’re refacing it, giving a brand new look to it. The floors are new, the paint is new and we’re completely redoing the bathroom, seating and lighting. We literally took it down to the bare bones.” While the Bartenders Union Local 408 will not serve food to bargoers, they will allow people to bring in outside food. “With the kind of liquor license we have we will not be able to serve food at all,” Evanger said.
Achievement award for quality care SAINT LOUISE AWARDED FOR EFFORTS TO REDUCE STROKE SEVERITY By Bryce Stoepfel
Saint Louise Regional Hospital’s Primary Stroke Center was honored Wednesday by the American Heart Association for excellence as the hospital earned the Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. Stroke survivors who got care at Saint Louise, some who received injections of the stroke wonder drug, Alteplase, were there to hug and reminisce with the nurses and doctors who saved their lives. “I had a stroke that paralyzed my left side and thankfully for my family; they got me here on time,” said Frederick Heidler, a stroke survivor
who received care at Saint Louise. “They gave me the tPA (Alteplase) that diminished a lot of my paralysis.” “There are 15 measures that a hospital has to meet to get this award and they’ve done it for two years,” said Elaina Gunn, Regional Director for the American Heart and Lung Associations. “For all the patients at Saint Louise who received Alteplase, 75 percent received it in 45 minutes, which is nothing short of impossible.” Saint Louise’s rate of using Alteplase, an injection that works by dissolving blood clots which improves the flow of blood into the part of the brain that’s deprived of blood during a stroke, bests the national average of use by 15 minutes. Before becoming a primary stroke center, victims needed to
be shuttled to San Jose, causing a delay in care. “Those minutes when you’re having a stroke are essential in getting the help you need,” Lori Katterhagen, Chief Executive Nurse at Saint Louise said. “When we had the opportunity to become a Primary Stroke Center, we moved on it quickly.” With an emphasis on speed, Saint Louise uses telemedicine, high-definition video conferencing used to rapidly connect with a neurologist, who can help make a rapid decision to inject Alteplase. “It was traumatic,” said Heidler, who woke up one day in April with stroke symptoms in a home he shares with his parents. “He called from inside the house,” said Heidler’s mother, Stella Craig. “So I jumped out of bed, threw on my clothes and ➝ Saint Louise, 5

Plans to bus students to nearby schools Alexander Street, 1 applicants with Section 8 vouchers. “We are processing applicants in the order that they applied,” Sanders said. Visions of a traffic-choked 10th Street filled with vehicles from a crime infested downtown project that mucks up the agricultural, small-town Gilroy aesthetic are prevalent. They also fear outsiders will have priority over Gilroy residents. Pacific Companies, which owns 165 similar properties in the western United States, disputes the claims. “We don’t need to bus people in because the need for affordable housing in Gilroy is so strong,” Carter said. “There could be people in San Jose or Oakland who work in the area who may apply to live there, but we purposefully wouldn’t seek out anyone outside of the immediate area.” As the Silicon Valley and the Bay Area as a whole continues to boom, many residents have struggled to keep up
rents. The median household income of Gilroy of $76,060 is about $13,000 less than the median for the county. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,433 and $1,877 for a three-bedroom according to the city’s general plan of 2015. Since approximately 41 percent of Gilroy households fall within the lower income range, The Pacific Companies saw an opportunity for expansion. Rents will be based on a household’s income compared to the average median income of the county. For a one-bedroom Alexander apartment, rents will range from $1,076 to $1,300 and a four-bedroom will range from $1,650 to $1,997. US Residential will manage the apartments. The company will employ two full-time managers, an assistant manager along with a full-time maintenance supervisor, maintenance tech and either a fulltime or part-time janitor. Safety is also a concern. “There will be a
controlled fob access and security cameras built in,” said Amanda Sanders, District Manager with US Residential. “We are not sure if we will hire a security company.” The project needed an array of building exemptions because of its size and location by the railroad tracks. The project was granted many because it fit in with local goals to build high density, affordable housing, along transit corridors. One exemption from city codes was that it allowed residences on the first floor, although businesses are preferred on the ground floor of downtown projects. “They needed a conditional use permit because that project is within the Downtown Specific Plan, which doesn’t allow any residences on the first floor,” said Tom Fischer, the Chairperson for the Gilroy Planning Commission.

DEBIT
SUMMARY On February 28, 2014, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed its 2013 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Compliance application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This Evidentiary Hearing (EH) has been scheduled by the CPUC to review a subset of PG&E’s 2013 ERRA Compliance application. The scope of this hearing is limited to costs specifically related to outages at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in 2013. BACKGROUND The ERRA is used to record fuel and purchased power costs which can be recovered in rates. PG&E recovers these costs with no markup for return or profit. The purpose of this ERRA Compliance proceeding is to request an increase in rates and to review PG&E’s costs associated with obtaining energy for customers. The CPUC will review PG&E’s costs to ensure compliance with the previously approved forecast and energy purchasing plans as well as compliance with the goal of minimizing costs for our customers. HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT ME? As part of this EH, a maximum of $14.4 million in costs will be discussed and reviewed for compliance. If disallowed, these costs will be subtracted from the amount PG&E is able to recover from customers in future rates. EVIDENTIARY HEARING At this EH, the assigned Administrative Law Judge (Judge) will receive the testimony of PG&E, consumer advocacy groups, and other parties to this proceeding. These hearings are open to the public but only those who are parties to the proceeding may present evidence, testimony, and be subject to cross-examination. The hearings and documents submitted during this proceeding will become part of the formal record that the Judge will rely upon in writing a proposed decision to present to the Commissioners for their consideration. After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned Judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s proposal, modify it or deny it. Any of the five CPUC Commissioners may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a scheduled CPUC Voting Meeting. Please note: The CPUC’s Courtroom is wheelchair accessible. If you wish to attend and need specialized accommodations, please contact the Public Advisor’s Office (PAO) at least five business days prior to the hearing date. Any changes to the dates, times and locations of the hearings will be posted to the CPUC’s Daily Calendar. TO OBTAIN COPIES If you would like a copy of PG&E’s application filing and exhibits, please write to: PG&E, 2013 ERRA Compliance (A.14-02-008), P.O. Box 7442, San Francisco, CA 94120. A copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits is also available for review at the CPUC’s Central Files Office located in San Francisco, CA, by appointment. For more information, please contact them at aljcentralfilesid@cpuc.ca.gov or 1-415-703-2045. PG&E’s filing (without exhibits) is available on the CPUC’s website at www.cpuc.ca.gov/puc. CPUC PROCESS The Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) has reviewed this application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. ORA has a multi-disciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. For more information about ORA, please call 1-415-703-1584, email ora@cpuc.ca.gov or visit ORA’s website at www.ora.ca.gov/.

Garlic Train
For Garlic Festival goers in San Jose, they’ll be going on the rails of a Garlic Train. For the second year, the Garlic Festival has commissioned a CALTRAIN train, departing from San Jose Diridon Station on Saturday and Sunday at 10 am for a one hour, non-stop ride. From Gilroy Station 20 to 30 VTA buses will shuttle everyone to the festival. Once there, attendees can gorge and imbibe to their heart’s content, until 4 pm when they are bussed back to Gilroy Station, departing at 5 p.m. to return to San Jose. Riders this year are expected to be close to 1000, up from 450 people who took the train last year. The $43 fee includes a ticket to the festival.
Garlic Fest App
The award winning Garlic Fest app, developed by Articulate Solutions, is in its second year, helping to guide visitors during their day. The sleek and easy to navigate app boasts an GPS map, a festival guide, directions and easy access to social media on Facebook and Twitter. Advance tickets, along with parking, CALTRAIN and gourmet plates are all available for purchase on the app. With the app, paper tickets are a thing of the past since tickets are scanned directly from the phone. “One of the coolest things about the app is the real time GPS map so you can tell where you are at the festival at all time,” Bowe said. “You can see where you’re going from point A to point B.”
Parking
Parking is on Day Road near Christopher High School and on Mesa Road near Gavilan College and will cost $10. From there festival goers will be taken by charter buses to the festival and back. The air conditioned coaches will roam Santa Teresa Boulevard all day from 9 am to 8:30 pm. Bike parking, which is getting more popular every year, is free. Riders can drop their bikes off at the levee near the intersection of Miller Avenue and Uves Parkway. The bikes are held in a fenced, secure area and will be returned by a bike valet. “We have hundreds of locals who ride a bike and it’s a great way to get there,” Bowe said. “It’s a very safe and secure system.”
New and Improved Gilroy Garlic Shrimp
The Gilroy Garlic Festival wouldn't be complete without another, new, garlicky treat and this year is no exception. This year Gourmet Alley will feature Gilroy Garlic Shrimp, a deep fried shrimp dish loaded with fresh garlic. The dish, beat out other entries after being picked by a tasting panel, joining past featured delicacies like the Deep Fried Calamari which had been a festival favorite.
Kids Area on the Move
The Children’s Area will be on the move this year. Now located near the Amphitheater Stage near Gate 1, the 200 foot by 75 foot, volunteer run area will feature rides, hands-on activities, live entertainment and kid friendly food. “Of course we have the best garlic laced gourmet food you can get at the Garlic Festival, but the kids often can’t take the bold flavors, so we have standard fare such as hot dogs out there for them,” Bowe said. Like the Spider Zone, the Obstacle Course, Spin Art, there will be new attractions like the Dance Dome and Beat the Bucket. Home
Depot will be back to get kids some safe, hands on construction experience. “Home Depot comes out every year and does its Kid’s Workshop,” Bowe said. “Each kid will get their orange apron and they'll be working building things with hammers and nails.”
Wine Garden
The Gilroy Rotary club has busted out of their tent for a Wine Garden this year. Nestled under the shade of trees at the Mulberry Picnic Area, formally where the Children’s Area was, the open air Wine Garden will feature the best wine the area has. Souvenir Garlic Festival wine glasses will be available for $10. “It’s a fantastic area to showcase a lot of our Santa Clara County wineries,” Bowe said. “For all three days of the festival, it will be one of our main attractions this year.”
Gilroy Garli-Que BBQ Challenge
For the second year, barbeque chefs will try to smoke the competition at the Gilroy GarliQue BBQ Challenge, an event officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.

Stroke wonder drug is saving lives, brains Saint Louise, 2 “So I jumped out of bed, threw on my clothes and we got him here in 11 minutes from Morgan Hill on Watsonville Road. They got him in the emergency room immediately.” Now recovering, Heidler has lost more than 25 pounds and worked to manage his diabetes. “I cannot give enough praise to Saint Louise,” Craig said. “A doctor from Los Angeles interviewed him right from the bed. It was fascinating.” Lucretia AltamiranoSantana was another stroke patient who received care at Saint Louise. “I’m doing a lot better today than I was doing that day,” Altamirano-Santana, 53, said, who woke up one morning in April 2014 and suffered a stroke.
“My grandson Jayden did everything I asked him to do. He got the ball rolling to save my life.” “They fought very hard to save my life,” Altamirano-Santana said. “I fought very hard to live too, so hard I broke a bed here.” These days, with the help of her husband Mike Santana and her friends from the therapeutic pool program at nearby Fritter, Schulz, and Zollinger Physical and Occupational Therapy, AltamiranoSantana is working hard on her recovery. “All my pool friends are here and I couldn’t do it without them,” Altamirano-Santana said. Some nurses at Saint Louise have lightning on their badges, which
indicates that they have at some point made sure a stroke patient got Alteplase within 15 minutes. “Every 40 seconds someone in the United States someone has a stroke, which is the leading cause of longterm disability,” Gunn said. “Hospitals earn these awards because hundreds of people are focused on doing the best job they can.” ”We say, time is brain and if we can treat it in the first hour we have a really good chance of reversing or stopping the damage strokes can do,” said John Hennelly, Chief Administrative Officer at Saint Louise. “Everyone here is working in concert, so treatment is quickly made.”

Fast friends for a lifetime
I
’ve never had so much fun in my life before I moved to Gilroy, seven years ago. I used to live in San Jose— where neighbors were cordial but where we all stayed to ourselves. On the weekends my husband and I either entertained close friends at our home or visited these same friends at their homes across town. My life revolved around my job and family life (all good things) without any interaction with my community. I often felt like City government and issues were miles away from me and that I was just an onlooker in my community. While reading the news or emails about the goings-on in South County and visiting our good friends in Gilroy, I soon developed cityenvy. There seemed to be so many fun things to do in the South County. Getting our chance at the end of 2009, my husband and I made our move to Gilroy and only wish we had done it sooner. A whole new life opened up for me after moving here. Most people are so friendly and it is so easy to get connected here. We only lived here a short time before I got to know many of our neighbors, local officials and business owners on a first-name basis. As a new resident and while I was in between jobs during the Great Recession, I made a pitch to this newspaper about writing about wine. Even though I had never done anything like this before; after a brief vetting and amazingly to me, I was given the opportunity to have my own wine column. Writing about our local wines opened the door to meeting all the wonderful winemakers and other people associated with the industry. Not long after, a book publisher (Arcadia Publishing) came across my column and asked me to write a historical photo book about our oldest wineries—giving me the chance to research the region’s history and get to know our city’s pioneers. Living here, I’ve learned that

volunteering and giving back is a way of life. It is a great honor to join in with the many others in our community who give so generously of their time—whether at the Garlic Festival (a shift at the calamari booth is an unforgettable, gastronomic experience), or Rock the Mock event for high school kids, attending ribbon cuttings for new businesses or placing holiday wreaths at the tombstones of our U.S. veterans. In Gilroy, I know our neighbors by name. We look out for each other and socialize together. We’re even on a weekly bocce ball league along with a 100 of our other neighbors. When I bump into people I know at the local grocery stores, we always joke that we have to plan at least two hours to do our shopping because we’re always stopping to chat. All the open space and slower pace of life is calming to me. It’s easy to spot wild turkeys, deer and soaring hawks and on rare nights I’ll hear the hoots of an owl. I love shopping at the Gilroy Outlet stores for the selection and sheer convenience. Often times, I can park right in front of the store I am visiting for a quick in-and-out purchase. And when my husband and I go out to dinner or visit our wineries, we are warmly greeted by the owners who many times remember our names. Looking around I usually wave a hello at someone I know, also enjoying the food and wine. My calendar has been crammed and double-booked with summer events including festivals, the wine and beer strolls and parades. Free music series abound at the Friday nights in downtown, at the wineries and the music-in-the-park series in my neighborhood. If I seem smitten with Gilroy, I am. I am enjoying the fun and welcoming feeling of this city and its surrounding communities of Morgan Hill, San Martin and San Benito County and am here to stay.

Undocumented commit fewer crimes It’s not even considered a real crime to be undocumented, it’s an administrative violation, less than an infraction if you want to talk legality. Esperanza Cid is correct. Immigrants, especially the undocumented, commit actual crimes at a rate that is a fraction of what citizens do btw. But I doubt that’s your real issue though.

Mural brings Gilroy’s history to life Mural, 1
a home with his parents surrounded by working farm fields. “That is actually where I got the idea, because it was kind of like watching the circle of life, you’d see people out there picking the vegetables and the garlic early in the morning and the train that takes it to everywhere else in the United States,” Roberson recalled. That human aspect, he said, “is what I felt was the most important part of it rather than just showing the commercial side.” And out in those fields the garlic would be placed in huge wooden bins, just as it’s done now, bins adorned with growers’ names, such as Joseph Gubser. Roberson picked up on that idea and included the names and a train in his design “Caryl said it was a great idea, and that is where it came from,” Roberson said. His original design did not include the vampire that peeks out from the lower left hand corner of the mural, that came later, he said, and is completely appropriate to the overarching theme and garlic folklore. Simpson owned the building and inside ran an eclectically decorated gourmet food shop and art gallery called the Garlic Festival Store & Gallery at the corner of Fifth Street and Monterey Road. She was a dynamic and charismatic businesswoman who created the popular Garli Garni condiment, founded a nationally-known gourmet condiment company

his mentor, who also was an accomplished artist, designer, corporate executive, gardener, author, restaurateur, food product developer and even served on the California Olive Oil Commission. “She was a pretty dynamic force during her time in Gilroy and she wasn’t afraid of a fight,” her daughter said. “While it did make her some enemies, it earned her a lot of champions, too; she put her money where her mouth was, she actually bought real estate downtown, fixed it up, put that mural downtown and created a good, iconic brand this is all about what the festival is all about,” Simpson-Bluhm said. After working for Simpson for a while, Roberson turned to cooking. He became chef and cooked for some of the city’s most popular eateries of that era, including Station 55, Sandrinos and Harvest Time, now the Milias Restaurant. It was during that time that Simpson started her gourmet condiment company and he helped write a few of her recipes, Roberson said. Then one day she asked him if he could pull together a design because she had this idea for a mural about garlic that would pay homage to the history of farming the so-called stinking rose in Gilroy. At the time, Roberson was living out in the country, in
GARLIC LEGACY Mural about garlic pays homage to the history of farming the stinking rose in Gilroy. Featured, daughter of mural’s patron, Heather Simpson with Martin Roberson. called Garlic Festival Foods, now in its 31st year and its booth a staple of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and came up with the idea for the mural in the early 1990s. Then she convinced a short list of merchants and city boosters to pay for it to be painted on the huge south wall of her building, overlooking a small municipal parking lot. The rest is Garlic City history. “She envisioned it as Gilroy’s postcard to the world, I think she was really proud of it, said Simpson-Bluhm, 43. Her mother, she said, realized early that the success of the garlic festival and the mystique that wafted around the bulb and its cloves gave Gilroy, “on a silver platter,” the magic
ingredient with which to market the city to the world. With the Gilroy Garlic Festival that begins its three-day run today now in its 39th year, with the city awash in garlic souvenirs, hats and t-shirts year-round, with growers and other businesses built on that mystique and dependent on garlic and its lovers, and with even McDonalds getting into the act with its Gilroy Garlic Fries, it seems Caryl Simpson’s vision was right on the mark. “I like (the) concept of crediting her with a great legacy, she did a lot of positive things,” for the city, said Joan Buchanan of the Gilroy Downtown Business Association. The mural, Buchanan said, is “A natural” for Gilroy.
With Buchanan at the helm, the merchants group raised about $13,000 in 2013 and had the mural repaired, touched up and coated with a protective shield after 20 years of sun and rain had caused some peeling and faded its once vibrant colors. And Simpson, who by that time had moved out of the building, was right there to help; she contacted her muralist friend, Gianni Martino, in Italy and brought him and an assistant over to reprise and repair his original work while she put them up in her Aromas home. The results are spectacular, according to Buchanan. “Tourists stop there almost daily to take pictures,” she said.

alph “Mike” Gabriel, an energetic man whose devotion to his community changed the face of San Benito County for generations to come, died on July 18, 2017. He was 93.
Born 12/11/1923 in Redondo Beach, he was the second son of Joseph and Alice Gabriel. The family moved to Hollister in 1937 where Ralph re-identified himself. When his new friends asked his name, he responded “Mike”, and henceforth, “Mike” it was. Mike graduated from Hollister High in 1942, and attended Salinas Junior College where he made lifelong friends from the tri-county areas. With World War II raging he joined the Naval Air Corp Division, flying a Stearman. After the war Mike earned a degree in Economics from Stanford University in 1947. He returned to Hollister, and with his brother Don, joined the family business, Hollister Ice Company. As iceboxes were replaced by refrigerators, and as agriculture became a global business, Mike and Don transformed the business. They progressed from one that sold blocks of ice to house-holds and for railroads and agriculture transport to one that supported agribusiness in San Benito County through cooling and shipping perishable fresh produce to markets far from San Benito County. In 1949, Mike married Elizabeth “Betty” Hall of Watsonville. The couple had three children: Connie (Tom Wilson), Jade, and Mitch (Marianne). Mike leaves grandchildren: Margaret, Abbey (Jon), Brian (Valerie), Eric Lewine, Josh, Steve (Helmi) Sandifer, great grandgirls Sydney and Karle. As the son of immigrant families from Lebanon, Mike was proud of the old country word which renamed him as “Giddu” (grandpa). Mike and Betty traveled widely in the company of friends. With their many social activities they developed camaraderie of friends with treasured memories and great stories that would make a best seller. It was his devotion to his community that Mike distinguished himself. He served as a leader in Boy Scouts, a member of the local Draft Board, SIRS, Hollister Rotary Club, the Elks Lodge, and drove trucks for the Community Pantry. Mike served on the San Benito County Water District Board of Directors for 22 years. During his term, the Water Board embarked upon an ambitious public works project for San Benito County. Through trips to Washington, D.C., phone calls, letters and lobbying, the San Felipe Project was created. San Felipe brings water from the Sierras to San Benito and Santa Clara counties, providing an additional source of irrigation to our areas. Mike had an unlimited amount of energy which he poured into many projects and activities. One such venture with his brother and friends was the rebuilding of Bolado Park Golf course after WWII. The story credits his buddies in redesigning Morris Minors into golf carts - a golf cart that could make 50 mph on a clear fairway. Golf was a huge part of Mike’s life sharing rounds with his friends at Bolado, Ridgemark, Shastina, Spyglass, and across the world. A true Sports fan, he faithfully followed the PGA, LPGA, Stanford Athletics, the HayBalers, 49ers, SF Giants and Golden State Warriors. Mike was an energetic outdoorsman. Friendships gained him access onto many San Benito ranches spanning North County, through Cienega valley and south to Panoche where he hunted deer, boar, duck, pheasant, quail and dove. He loved hiking and fishing in his favorite areas near Huntington and the Kaiser Wilderness in pursuit of trout. Other trips took him deep sea fishing or lake trolling. Wintertime found him on the slopes downhill skiing. One very special adventure included trekking, canoeing, jeeping into the wilds of Africa. It was in these wild open spaces that he loved the feeling of calm, quite the contrast of his ever-ready energy. Mike lived a great life. We’ll miss you, Pops, Dad, Gabe, Giddu.

Alexander developer says parking will be sufficient Alexander Street, 4
the Pacific Companies is building Harvest Park Apartments on the north side of town. “We are also building an additional 98 units in town,” Carter said, referring to Harvest Park. “We will have up to 360 units of affordable housing in Gilroy by the time we are done. I would expect that project to be finished about mid-2018.” Kids living at Alexander Station Apartments will attend Las Animas Elementary School, Solorsano Middle School and Gilroy High School. With consideration to the proximity of the railroad tracks, the Gilroy Unified School District and the city of Gilroy are currently working on busing plans for the students. With size comes several amenities for residents at Alexander Station Apartments. Each building brings courtyards, one with a large playground and park and the other with a full sized basketball court and a full sized pool. Each building contains workout areas, study rooms, community rooms and meeting space, designated for the city of Gilroy to use, next to the management office facing 10th Street. The buildings will be connected by sky bridges and dozens of architectural designs have been used for terraces, stairways and various accented exterior designs. Throughout the day dozens of workers, some living as far as the Central Valley and Idaho work throughout the day as the complex inches towards completion. Noah Concrete of Gilroy was contracted to pour cement. The community has been abuzz with rumors since the project was announced back in 2014. Examples are abundant on Facebook and the popular website Nextdoor.com, a social networking site designed

Motorcycles factory in 2003. Once completed, it will be surrounded on the east by South Valley Plaza Shopping Center and Acosta Produce, south with International Paper and west by the railroad. “There are always challenges when you do a project of this size in a community,” Carter said. “There are growing pains, but we have done this a number of times with other cities and we believe we can work successfully with most cities we work with. Working with the City of Gilroy hasn’t been anymore difficult than any other city we have worked with. In the end, we both have the same goals, which is to provide much needed affordable housing in the Gilroy community.” “The construction itself will probably be in the $70 million range,” Carter said. “The whole development costs, including building permits, impact fees and everything else will cost about $95 million, including the land. This is a tax exempt bond project with tax credits that we sold to an investor, CREA LLC out of Indianapolis Indiana, which is about $41 million of the budget.” The Pacific Companies plans to open the Alexander Station Apartments by the end of this year or at the beginning of January, barring any setbacks. The heavy rains that pounded the area throughout the winter set the project back at least three months. “We had standing water everywhere and we needed to let it dry out,” Carter said. The company has other plans already in the making in Gilroy. Due to the strength of the market and the need for affordable housing in Santa Clara County,

The responses are a mix of suspicion, positivity and the ‘not in my backyard’ variety. “I am grateful they are being built. It is likely I will be living in just such a place in my retirement years. There’s not a lot of traffic in that area so doesn’t seem like an eyesore to me. I expect it will improve the surrounding areas as service needs grow and a community builds,” said a resident on Upper Mantelli on Nextdoor. “There are surely some decent and honest people who use the low-income housing system,” said another Gilroyan on Nextdoor. “From personal experience, everyone I know in the low-income housing system has abused it. I know someone who doesn’t work, gets a two-bedroom apartment and illegally rents one room out. She’s also in and out of prison. How she gets
New Customer Special!! One month cooler rental & two 5 gallon bottles of water with a signed customer agreement
to keep the apartment every time she’s locked up is a mystery.” “The problem is why should taxes pay for peoples’ ‘privilege’ to eat out and get nails done?” another Nextdoor user said. “Those luxuries should be able to cover employees that get paid enough to live close enough to the job. I am planning on moving out of this area because I don’t make enough to buy a house for $600,000 and I don’t plan on asking for money. If my services are in demand, the market should adjust itself. If the government pays the difference on rent, there is no incentive for property owners to ask realistic prices for rent.” Around 120 days before the Alexander Station Apartments are expected to open, residents should expect to see advertisements pop up around the area. “We are processing applicants in the order that the
people called in to the interest list,” Sanders said. “The people we contacted this week were the first 500 people who called us. Then, we’ll move on to the next 500.” “You cannot understate the need for affordable housing in California,” Carter said. “We’re providing unit sizes for families at an affordable rate that do not exist.” There is skepticism, based on the size of the project and the scarcity of parking downtown, that there will be adequate parking available to satisfy what will be needed when the apartments open. There will be 372 conventional parking spaces, 78 covered and 88 tandem spaces. “The parking the only other issue except for the height of the building when it went before the Planning Commission and ➝ Alexander Street, 14

Free rides: area seniors get on board SOURCEWISE TRANSIT SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE By Kimberly Ewertz
Sourcewise
Seniors living in Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy, have reason to celebrate. As of July, free door-to-door transportation service to local senior centers is available to them, thanks to Sourcewise, an organization that provides support to seniors and individuals with disabilities, in Santa Clara County. A recent press release from Sourcewise stated: “The Sourcewise Transit Service enhances transportation access for 11,574 South County residents who are aged 65 and older and in need of connections to senior centers in Morgan Hill and Gilroy.” The transit service is a result of a 2016 comprehensive needs assessment of Santa Clara County conducted by Sourcewise. As part of the assessment, a public hearing was held in Gilroy, which brought to light the lack of transportation mobility options available to seniors and individuals with disabilities. “Folks found it very difficult to get around,” Aneliza Del Pinal, Area Planner/Public Relations Director for Sourcewise, said. “Not only was South County lacking private transportation, they were also lacking some public transportation as well.” Sourcewise addressed the problem by initiating a pilot program in April of this year, the Speedy Shuttle, which ran Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The free service provided free door-to-door transportation to senior centers located in Gilroy and Morgan Hill, which
according to Del Pinal, is the hub for older adults. “Specifically speaking, socialization-wise, there’s a lot of programs and services that are available,” Del Pinal said. The result of the pilot program proved extremely successful. “April, May, June, we were at capacity,” Del Pinal said, adding, “We were providing about 552 one-way rides, that means we were taking trips in the morning, and in the afternoon, and people were beginning to be placed on a waiting list.” Sourcewise is the area agency on aging in Santa Clara County and receives federal funding, in addition to private donations. At the start of this month, Sourcewise utilized that funding to purchase a wheel chair equipped StarCraft bus, built by Americans with Disabilities Act industry specialists, adding additional availability for those in need of the free transportation service. To date, the door-to-door service has provided over 900 oneway rides to seniors and individuals with disabilities. “Sourcewise strives to find innovative solutions that benefit our clients and support freedom of individual choice and independence,” said Manuel Altamirano, Sourcewise Chief Operating Officer. “The Sourcewise Transit Service creates greater access for frail and isolated seniors who otherwise may not be able to leave their home.” And the organization doesn’t want to stop there. Shuttle expansion plans are already in the works, which would include door-to-door rides to doctor appointments, and to the route extension in the Santa Teresa Light Rail. “Which would help the
DOOR-TO-DOOR Santa Clara County-based organization, Sourcewise is now offering free transportation to residents aged 65 and older and in need of connections to Senior Centers in Morgan Hill and Gilroy. connection coming in to the more populated North Valley area, where individuals would potentially be able to access even more services,” Del Pinal said. But for the now, the primary concern is providing services to those who need it. Mickey Enos is one of those individuals. Due to 23 knee surgeries Enos,63, needed assistance when it came to traveling outside her Gilroy home. Back in April, Enos found out about the pilot program from a representative of Sourcewise who works at the Gilroy Senior Center. She’s been using it twice a week, ever since. “It has really, really, lifted my mind, in terms of just feeling like a human being, capable, Enos said. “Not feeling crippled, I am crippled, but not feeling so crippled I can’t manage my own affairs.” Del Pinal explained that
federal funding fluctuates, and Sourcewise will not find out until September if their budget allocation will be impacted, making community donations all the more crucial for the continuation of this new service, as well as the vast number of services the organization provides to seniors and individuals with disabilities. These programs include: Meals on Wheels, Senior Information Awareness Program, Health Insurance and Advocacy Program, Senior Employment Services, Care Management, which includes a, Family Caregiver Program, a Public Authority Service, which provides a registry of individuals in the in-home supportive services, as well pre-screened inhome supportive care providers for those under the IHSS, (In Home Supportive Services). “If it wasn’t for that service
I would feel depressed all the time,” Enos said. “With that service it has made me feel alive again. I have a means of which to get away from the world I live in, and when you have that available to you, it changes your outlook on life a great deal.” According to Del Pinal, Sourcewise is continually working to, “advocate and educate government officials and leaders about the importance of senior and their caregivers.” “It’s not a senior issue, it’s a community issue, and as such it’s important to support all of our members in our community,” Del Pinal said.

Alexander Street, 10 city council,” Fischer said. “They met the requirements for the Downtown Specific Plan. In respect of parking I’m trusting them that they’re going to manage it like they said they want to manage it.” “There one vehicle permitted for household at least and some form of assigned parking,” Sanders said. “The
four-bedroom will have at least two spaces. A number of the parking spaces there are double deep. We will start with the larger units and work down.” “Sometimes you need to take a risk if you need something and Gilroy needs affordable housing,” Fischer said. “Especially with the parking, there are risks involved. We don’t get to pick and choose when
and where it goes, we zone the land and developers need to come in with a proposal. At the time we didn’t have any of these other affordable projects going on at all. To me the city needed that project and still needs that project and the developer and owner is telling us they can manage the parking. The risk for me is to believe them.”

hank you, good caller, for your inquiry about the vacant shopping center on 10th Street—where the old Orchard Supply and other shops were located. Checking with Tammy Brownlow, President/ CEO of Gilroy Economic Development Corporation, we learned that in fact, and perhaps unfortunately, the rumor about Whole Foods is untrue. The 44,000 square foot property is owned by Mike Conrotto, a long-time Gilroy resident and businessman. The property is a commercially zoned C3-Shopping Center which means that the new tenant must continue to provide ample landscaping, parking and creative design. Conrotto is currently fielding inquiries on the property himself (versus having a broker represent the property) and the property is for lease only— not for sale. Because Conrotto prefers
a single user and doesn’t want to divide the property for two or more tenants, it makes finding a new tenant a bit more challenging. According to Brownlow, “Although Conrotto is in discussions with potential tenants, there isn’t any news to announce at this time.” When Red Phone asked for an opinion about who would make an ideal, new tenant, Brownlow responded, “The ideal tenant would be a business that would be a good fit for the square footage, location and other considerations such as demographics, household income, and competition within the market area. The location is well-suited for retail that would serve the neighborhoods in and around the heavily traveled 10th Street corridor.” Gary Walton, president of the Gilroy Downtown Business Association, also weighed in. “In regards to what I would like to see in the shopping center, I really miss Orchard Supply. It was a great store and very convenient for everyone downtown. If not Orchard, then maybe an Ace Hardware.” And Mark Turner, president and CEO of the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce chimed in, saying, “While the Chamber would enjoy seeing another tenant occupy the old Orchard Supply building, due to varying considerations, it’s difficult to identify a tenant by name. We hope to see a company that becomes an active part of the community, employs local residents and contributes to economic vitality of our city.” All principals agree that the shopping center is conveniently located within walking distance of the new 10th Street apartments which will most likely provide an excellent customer base to whoever the new tenant may be. Everyone at Red Phone is hoping for a good tenant to make the replacement, soon.

The Gilroy girls basketball team had one winning season after going 22-2 in the 2010-11 campaign heading into this past year. In the interim, including going 16-9 in 2013-14, the Mustangs went a combined 40-69. That included winning two Gabilan Division games combined in the 2014-15 and 15-16 seasons. Coach Mitchell Pierce believed in the process and insisted the team not
The road to get to that point was anything but certain for Valencia and the tears from her friends and family who turned out to watch her sign her letter of intent proved that. Valencia said there was a lot of frustration over the years and that frustration nearly derailed her desire to keep playing. “Due to the last season coming into my fourth season, I was really tired; I was really upset,” Valencia said. “I didn’t really have the mind-set to make playoffs. We hadn’t made playoffs before, but that was our goal was to make playoffs. “After we started coming together and getting wins ... we wanted to prolong that. I would send a ➝ Signing, 18

Gilroy’s Adina Valencia will play at the next level in Illinois, signing on to play for Trinity International University. “There’s not a player I appreciate more because of her dedication,” Pierce said. “Dedication is when no one else wants to play basketball, she’s there in the gym.”

heading over to North Carolina, but noted they are largely just trying to take in the experience of it all. “I just want to see all the best players in my age bracket and see what they’ve got and see how I stack up against them,” Justin said. Justin from Morgan Hill was described as a phenomenal athlete by his coach. He largely plays center field where he uses his speed and aggressiveness to his advantage, Wagle said. “He’s the 3 hitter on the team and one of the most dynamic players out there and one of the most athletic,” Wagle said. Pace looms large within the team both in stature and talent. Pace said he is looking forward heading out to North Carolina. “It’s going to be a great experience without a doubt,” Pace said. The Hollister kid is already north of 6 feet and has a live arm. His father was a college pitcher, so he has the pedigree for success. “He’s definitely a fireballer,” Wagle said. “He’s very physical on the mound and he’s aggressive.” Pace joined Dub a year ago, but has been throwing since T-Ball. He has the look of a pitcher, with a stern face and professional demeanor. Following practice on Thursday, he stood with his two other teammates with a baseball in hand and going through his pitching grips.

morgan hill— Dub Baseball put another feather in its cap after having three players chosen to represent Northern California at the 2017 National Team Identification Series in North Carolina. Jackson Pace of Hollister, Justin Kester-Johnson of Morgan Hill and Zach Lewis of Pacific Grove all were identified following an All Star game tryouts. “We’re pretty pumped. It shows the experience of the program, especially with kids from different regions,” said Dub President Erik Wagle. Dub had four players chosen to play in the All Star game which identified who would be chosen to represent Northern California. “I think this shows we’re doing good things,” Wagle said. “Obviously we’re developing players at a good rate.” The NTIS is a nationwide program that seeks to identify future baseball talent through a series of regional tryouts leading to the series in North Carolina. From there, players are chosen out of their six respective age groups— starting from 11U and going up to 17U—to attend National Team Trials, National Team Development and the Tournament of Stars.
The 13U players will head out for four days of competition starting Aug. 9 in Cary, NC. Following team tryouts—where a travel team gets a chance to compete for a spot in the All Star game—individual players are chosen to advance to the next round. That’s where the three plus Justin’s brother Trevor were chosen to compete. From there, the three learned by email they had been chosen for the Northern California team. This is the second straight year Dub is sending a player to North Carolina after Aidan Keenan was picked last year. All three players this year play for Dub’s 13U team and all show off different skill sets that helped to make the team, in Wagle’s view, one of the stand out teams Dub has this year. He noted the 13U team has some great parent involvement and said among them, Justin, Pace and Lewis all come from great families who are active in the sport. “This is the kind of vision we had when we started and it’s started to become reality,” Wagle said. “Out goal is to take kids in this region and give them an opportunity to move to next level.” The players said this is going to be a good measuring stick to see where they’re at. Justin, Pace and Lewis will join forces with players from around Northern California, but they said most of them were from out of the immediate area. They said they will have one practice before

But while he has the look of a pitcher, Pace said he kind of took that role for granted until recently. “At first I didn’t take it too seriously until recently,” he said. But through his experience with Dub, Pace said he’s learning a lot. “I love the coaching we get here,” Pace said. “I’ve learned a lot and am hoping to keep getting better.” Pace comes into a Dub program that recently expanded down into Hollister and already has some good numbers showing up for their Hollisterbased teams and practice facilities. While Pace has a bit of a
hike to get to Morgan Hill for practice, he doesn’t have the longest haul. That honor goes to Lewis who makes the hour-plus trek to workout with Dub. Wagle was high with his praise for Lewis, who plays shortstop on the 13U team. Wagle said his teammates call Lewis “The Big Leaguer” because he carries himself as you might if you were in the big leagues. Wagle said he’s a dynamic player who has both speed and can hit for power. “He understands the nuances of the game,” Wagle said. “Coming from Pacific Grove, he’s had
some good coaching along the way.” Lewis said he didn’t want to put too much pressure on himself to make the team and just went out there to do his job and try to help the team. “I just wanted to go out there and put my best foot forward,” Lewis said. “If I didn’t make it, I didn’t make it. Thankfully I was chosen and it’s going to be good.” Lewis said he heard about Dub from Trevor and has liked his experience. He said the coaching is as good if not better up here compared with Pacific Grove and said he likes the level of competition he’s exposed to through Dub.

text and Maddie would send a text, ‘hey, grab your jerseys let’s give this everything we got.” She said in the down years, it was hard to keep up the desire to work hard in the off season. She said at times when things went south for the team on the court, she didn’t know why she was working as hard as she was. But Pierce and Assistant Coach Casey insisted she was a role model for the other players and she had to hold herself to a higher standard if everyone else was to follow. “In the beginning, I felt real bad for the younger girls because there was no senior leadership,” Casey said. “It was a mess. Then Adina, Jackie (Morales) and Maddie (Cox) became seniors and I said this is not going to happen again.” Casey challenged Valencia, specifically, to be a leader.
“I said you got to not just show up, I said you got to be a leader,” Casey said. “This is the gas to that engine over there,” Casey said pointing to Valencia and then over to the group of players to their left. “That’s the engine over there. This is the gas.” That meant often being the only player in the gym working out. It meant getting on the phone with her teammates making sure they would show up to practice. It meant being the go between for her teammates to their coach. The result was along with fellow seniors Maddie Cox and Jackie Morales, the Mustangs discovered who they were. They started winning games. They advanced to the playoffs and won in dramatic fashion over Westmoor. The result was before she signed her letter of intent, players described what she meant to them
and to the team as tears rolled down their faces. Valencia said she chose Trinity by more chance than anything else. She had put out feelers in 2016 to various college coaches to come watch her as she played AAU basketball. San Diego Christian College coach Irvin Jerry responded and watched her play in a tournament. He reached out and eventually made her an offer to come play for him in San Diego. But that offer disappeared when Jerry was let go from the college and Valencia was left in limbo. Eventually she received an unexpected text from a number she didn’t recognize but there was a familiar offer on the other end. “I got a random text and his name wasn’t in there and it was a random number,” Valencia said. “I didn’t have any offers, so I was like OK I want to hear about the program.”
So the texter called her and Valencia heard a familiar voice on the other end. It was coach Jerry extending an offer to still play for him, this time in Illinois. And sight unseen, Valencia accepted his offer. She eventually flew out to visit the campus and said it was where she wanted to end up. Valencia said she hasn’t had a chance to meet her teammates yet, but there will be two people there with whom she can relate. Two Gavilan sophomores recently accepted offers to play for Trinity, both of whom were coached by Eric Nelson who is also Valencia’s AAU coach. Valencia didn’t always know she was going to play at the college level. She started out playing recreation basketball in the third grade but finally moved to competitive basketball in middle school. There she began to
develop, but even then, Valencia said she wasn’t sure if she would continue. She reluctantly went to a camp held at Christopher being hosted by Pierce. Her brother made the introduction, but Valencia said she was nervous because she heard Pierce like to work his players pretty hard. But she fell into the groove and found she could do the workouts that Pierce demanded. “In middle school, I didn’t have much direction, but when I met coach Pierce you could say my whole future changed,” Valencia said. Those workouts got even tougher as time went on as Pierce demanded excellence from her. Eventually, Coach Casey started a fitness program that involved work on the track, including running and pushing sleds. Valencia said she started to work harder
than she had ever worked in her life. Even with an offer that she was thankful to receive, she said during her thank-yous to her family, friends, teammates and coaches that she still fights feeling uncertain about the whole thing. But it is advice from her twin sister Athena that is keeping her going through the process. “You don’t know where you’re going to go or what you’re going to do unless you go for it,” Athena said. “I know you’re not always 100 percent on every decision, but you have to at least try.” And with that and a few more thank yous and a selfie with coach Pierce (at Pierce’s request), she signed her letter of intent. Just like Valencia has through out her time at school and on the court, she did it with those closest to her looking on with pride and a few tears as well.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sa le date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17-768341-BF . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return o f the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Jennie Camacho in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. The PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: Jennie Camacho be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 9-182017 Time: 9:00 a.m. Dept: 12, Superior Court of California County of Santa Clara, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, California, 95113.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: Thomas G.
