SOME QUESTION TEST’S VALIDITY By Brad Kava Editor

acorns provide an important food resource for squirrels, deer, wild turkeys, crows and racoons, among dozens of other species that enjoy the favorite food of cartoon chipmunks, Chip and Dale. “No they don’t have a negative impact,” Smith said. “It’s more of a nuisance cleaning them. There will be more oak trees popping up everywhere. It will increase the amount of wildlife that comes to properties to munch on the acorns.

Only 40 percent of the students in the Gilroy Unified School District meet or surpass state standards in math and 48 percent in English, according to a statewide report released this week of 2017 test scores. These are above state results in math, which are a dismal 38 percent passing and slightly below the state results in English, which are 49 percent meeting or above state standards. In Gilroy 5,943 students in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 submitted tests in English and 5,956 in math. The results showed little improvement from the previous year, in which 60 percent of Gilroy’s students were below the state standard in math and 52 percent in English. The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, CAASPP, is in its third year of use. It replaced the long-used STAR test and is based on the state’s Common Core Standards. Numbers for Hispanic students, who comprise 80 percent of the district, showed no improvement. In English, 60 percent fell below state standards and 68 percent were below in math this year. Last year 59 percent were below in English and 69 percent in math. “Overall, the 2017 scores leveled off, after substantial growth in 2016 in both English Language Arts and mathematics,” said GUSD Superintendent Debbie Flores. “This trend was seen across the county, as well as statewide. We are taking proactive steps to improve our students’ performance on the state tests. This includes continuing to focus our efforts on the adoption of Common Core aligned materials in English Language Arts and Mathematics at all levels, as well as ongoing professional development for teachers.” There were also big

The Gilroy Museum at 195 Fifth St. is hosting a special viewing of the Kitaji Bibles Saturday Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. These are translations of the Bible into Japanese, colorfully illustrated by Captain Kitaji of the Salvation Army in the 1920s through 50s. He was the caretaker of Gilroy Hot Springs. Scholars have compared these volumes to the calligraphy of the medieval monks. The two-volume set is being donated to the “Japanese and Japanese American Diaspora Project” at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, but are making a special appearance in Gilroy first. They are said to be “the most significant artifact associated with Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs” because of the near 30 years Captain Kitaji lived there while working on the Bibles.

In private conversations this week, council members who had been negotiating with the resort in private sessions, said they thought the waterpark and hotel chain preferred a more shovel-ready site and Manteca had been working for a decade to prepare one. Gilroy would have to go through months of work and environmental review. At Monday’s city council meeting Mayor Roland Velasco seemed to indicate the current deal was off the table but they could be talking in the future. “As the community knows the exclusivity period between Gilroy and Great Wolf Lodge has expired and they have indicated that they will be exploring other possible locations that fit what they

Squirrels rejoice! It's a bumper crop of acorns this year and besides the delight of these fuzzy, tree climbing varmints, the good news is that they do not harm lawns and have little impact except for the nuisance of cleaning up after them.

“Because of the weather there are a lot more acorns this year,” said Moki Smith, an arborist with Morgan Hill Tree Service. “Acorns are seeds of oak trees and those trees are monoecious, so they have both the male and female reproductive organs, which means they pollinate themselves. That process depends on the trees, weather patterns and available resources. If that process gets interrupted or altered, that can reduce or accelerate the acorn yield.” While they can be annoying,

TOO MANY CANDLES Ted Carpenetti helped build Christmas Hill Park

and has stayed vital in retirement, dancing, traveling and being handy. He got a tribute from the city Monday.

Former city worker is 101 and going strong TED CARPENETTI STILL DOES HIS OWN SHOPPING By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The Gilroy City Council honored Ted Carpenetti, who celebrated his 101st birthday on September 17 and was instrumental in building Christmas Hill Park. Born in 1916, Carpenetti was the eighth of 13 children of Italian immigrants. Carpenetti came to California in 1936, where he worked various jobs, including leasing the Madonna Inn where he met his wife, Elsie, to whom he was married for 58 years. Carpenetti entered World War II in 1943

when he was drafted into the Navy, serving until the war's end in 1945. After the war, Carpenetti worked several jobs, until he started working for the City of Gilroy in 1960 in the Parks Division. “Ted took great pride in beautifying and maintaining our parks and property, including the development of Christmas Hill Park,” Mayor Roland Velasco said. “People think the park just happened, but it took a lot of work from people like Ted to make it happen.” Carpenetti retired from the Parks and Recreation Department of Gilroy in 1980. In retirement, Carpenetti stayed busy,

taking work as a handyman, took dance lessons, traveled with senior citizens groups and became a member of the American Legion. In 1999, Carpenetti got involved with the Gilroy Senior Center, which became a passion ever since. Carpenetti meets with a group of close friends nearly every day at the Senior Center, to enjoy lunch and rich conversations with friends. At 101-years old, Carpenetti still does his own grocery shopping. “Thank you all for coming to celebrate my 101st birthday, I appreciate it very much,” Carpenetti said to an audience which included family.

Machine makes mammograms more manageable ST. LOUISE’S NEW MACHINE EASES THE PAIN By Bev Stenejhem

The air was electrified with excitement as St. Louise Regional Hospital unveiled its new mammogram machine as a small group of physicians, hospital dignitaries, mammogram technicians and invited guests looked on. The large white machine with pink accents and backdrop mood lighting that

changes colors seemed like something out of the future. At the celebratory event where hors d'oeuvres were passed and local wines were sipped, Debbie Gilman, Breast Care coordinator and mammo tech, was excited to describe the machine. “This is the Siemens Mammomot Inspiration Prime unit, which uses a proprietary technology that delivers up to a 30 percent less radiation dose, depending on the density of breast tissue. The machine uses an algorithm that cleans up the scatter and allows just the

primary radiation to take the image. In addition, the machine has a special, low-compression feature which applies just enough pressure to take a good image. This makes for a softer, more comfortable experience that patients will appreciate.” The chief nurse executive of the hospital, Lori Katterhagen, DNP, RN, CENP, said, “We were seeing an increase of patients making the long drive to San Jose because we could not provide quality images. Even members of our own staff, some of whom are breast cancer survivors, were

getting their mammograms elsewhere. We decided it was past time and that our community deserved to have a world-class mammogram facility.” John Hennelly, chief administrative officer, spoke to the crowd. “We are excited to bring this cutting edge technology to South County, especially Gilroy. Saint Louise has invested in the most sophisticated mammogram machines to help serve the over 16,000 women here in our region. We are committed to bringing the best healthcare to our city.”

The hospital wants to get the word out that women should begin having mammograms yearly at age forty, or earlier if they’re at high risk. Medical director, Kyle Yu, MD, said that "Mammography has been scientifically shown to save lives.” Katterhagen concluded, “Our pink T-shirt campaign has taken everybody by storm. This new technology cannot be found anywhere else in the South County and we are proud to be the first hospital to offer it in Gilroy and Morgan Hill.”

Welcome to better breast care. ADVANCED. COMFORTABLE. CONVENIENT. Managing your breast health just got more convenient. St. Louise Regional Hospital is proud to announce our newly renovated Gilroy Breast Care Center, offering easier access to advanced digital mammogram technology. Schedule your appointment today.

OPINION LETTERS If not Great Wolf, how should we raise money for the city?

RON GURRIES

A longtime Gilroyan weighs in on the city’s future

on Gurries was a bright spot in the City Council’s public hearing on the Great Wolf Lodge proposal. He conducted both sides of this interview and wrote it up.

Editor: Mr. Gurries, I heard your comments during the special meeting of the Gilroy Council on the Great Wolf Lodge project. You mentioned your family has been in Gilroy for many years. Can you tell us a little about that? Gurries: Sure. Both my parents and their families were in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and they lost their homes in that and the resulting fire. My father’s family moved to the Gilroy area to a small prune farm and also raised sheep. In 1908 my grandfather, who had been a tailor in San Francisco, bought two acres on Monterey Street across from the original St. Mary’s Church and school. Those two acres were a tomato field and with the horse and buggy moving out and the automobile moving in, it became auto-related property. Editor: Is that the property you said you were born on? Gurries: Yes, that’s where I was a baby. The property is still auto-related and it is part of the partnership I manage. Editor: What changes have you seen in Gilroy? Gurries: Back in the 1930s the depression was in full force. No one had any money but neighbors did their best to help each other and anyone else in need. An out of work man walking the railroad tracks would get a meal in return for a bit of work. Then World War II and rationing! Everyone pulled together for the war effort. My father’s plant, the Be-Ge Manufacturing Co., employed from 250-500 people. The company manufactured tank guns and various other parts, exclusively for the war effort. After the war other changes happened. The freeway bypassed Gilroy and First Street developed. Some years later came the Outlets, Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, etc., etc., etc..

The hue and cry since the 1960s has been to rejuvenate and beautify our downtown. Money was spent, over and over, mostly between Fourth and Sixth streets. The result of those changes was that the character and western theme of the town was lost. Editor: You favor the development of the Great Wolf Lodge and the property owned by the city on the Hecker Pass. Why is that? Gurries: Life is short but I tend to think and plan long term. As I have mentioned, change is constantly happening. With the Internet, some of our larger retail stores are being challenged for their very existence. Retail life is changing. The best dollar the city can receive is the tourist dollar and the occupancy tax generated by room rental. Obviously the Great Wolf Lodge loves the site and its proximity will make the Gilroy Gardens property more prosperous and profitable. Gilroy will receive jobs for our citizens and the can stay local and not travel to San Jose. Editor: Why do you think some people oppose the Hecker Pass location? Gurries: I have experienced this my whole adult life. When my father built the Tickle Pink motel in the Carmel Highlands (next to the Highlands Inn), the neighbors were strongly opposed. Now they love the place and it is one of the most popular motels in the country. Moneyed people come to our town and want it to stay unchanged around them but want Old Gilroy, Monterey Street and First Street to be changed to resemble Carmel or Morgan Hill. But Gilroy is different. Old Gilroy has a financially-challenged business community of diverse backgrounds. Their business is their whole life. Many are Spanish speaking. To disenfranchise them from their livelihood would be economic and political cruelty, but that is what some planners and dreamers propose. The Great Wolf Lodge will help give Gilroy needed financial stability for the short, intermediate and long term.

Email: advertising@newsvmedia.com Classified: 408-842-6400

The proposed Great Wolf hotel and water park development is a tough issue. On the one hand it is EXACTLY the kind of development Gilroy needs economically. In contrast to the blight of rampant residential sprawl which drains the city’s finances and sacrifices farm land and open space, a visitor attraction such as Great Wolf will generate large potential income for the city without adding to the city’s residential growth. On the other hand, the proposed Great Wolf hotel is very large for its proposed site. There will be visual, traffic and noise impacts that may be too high a price to pay for its prospective income. Ideally the development could be done in that same location on a smaller scale, say half the size. Or it could be done the same size in less sensitive location, such as near the Gilroy Sports Park, or (tongue in cheek here) it could be located in the middle of the sprawling Glen Loma housing development, which is already a hideous eyesore. Connie Rogers's letter in the Dispatch put forth an excellent checklist for due diligence in evaluating the development. Her letter asked for a rendering of the development so that people could see what it would look like. I’ll go one step further and suggest that with virtual reality tools and drone pictures the developer should be able to present a thoroughly realistic view from all angles with very little expense. This might help either reduce or confirm our worst fears about the proposal. Maybe we’ll see that it would not be so intrusive on the natural beauty as some people fear. In any case, we should be looking for exactly this kind of development for Gilroy: one that brings visitors who will spend money in Gilroy; one that provides both permanent and part-time jobs for Gilroyans; one that adds minimal stress to our water, sewer, power and safety infrastructure; and one that pays handsome dividends in taxes into our city coffers. If Great Wolf isn’t the right one, there must surely be other candidates. Can we rely on our city leadership to find them and lure the right one to Gilroy? We should insist on that. Dave Lima

FROM THE WEB Staying in Gilroy Well us older generations would love to stay here. And we don't need more nightlife. We would like to stay and like where we were born and raised. Stay around our families that already have careers here in town or near by. The ones moving appear to be the older generations that trying to hold on. Martha Garcia Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page

This isn’t what we need We don't need more houses. We can barely sustain what we have. We don't need sky rises to house people. That was not our intentions when we voted in H. We should of put can't build up as well. But we can still change that like we changed with H. Our downtown is scum. It filed with vacant buildings, old falling apart buildings. No good shopping and no good restaurants for that matter. Our downtown sucks and you talk about it like it's glorious place. We don't need more homes, we need better roads, new elementary and middle schools, Brownell is falling apart. We need that overpass you approved then took away. You guys are all wrong in what this town needs. And the new apartments off of 10th. It's going to be a disaster. It's already horrible and dirty you’re just adding to the mess. Misty Blythe Via Gilroy DIspatch Facebook page

nthony Michael Malen, known as Tony to his friends, was born September 29, 1927, in Visalia, CA. Raised in California’s southern central valley in the small farming town of Alpaugh, he was the sixth child and only surviving son of immigrant parents. In the mid-1940’s, with his widowed father and sisters, the family relocated to Morgan Hill on Watsonville Road, adjacent to what was then Oak Dell Park. Graduating from Live Oak High School in 1945, Tony went on to join the U.S. Navy and served during the Korean War. Upon his return from the Pacific, Tony met San Jose, CA native Eva Mae Georgetti. The young couple married in 1951. Together, they began their 65 year marriage in San Jose.

Not in my hood, say neighbors ➝ Great Wolf, 1

GETTING AWAY Great Wolf representatives say they would want the Gilroy location, if accepted, to fit in with its natural surroundings. Its Poconos location looks similar to the spot it plans in the Gilroy hills. of great interest to us,” Great Wolf Director of Communications Jason Lesecki said. “While the 60-day exclusive negotiation period with the City of Gilroy has expired, we are still evaluating Gilroy as a potential location for a future Great Wolf Lodge. We look forward to continued discussions with Gilroy city leaders and community members as we move forward with the evaluation process. While we are very interested in developing a resort in Gilroy and feel it would be a good fit for our brand of family entertainment, we will restart conversations in the near future with Northern California communities in our consideration set and look to finalize a decision soon.” During the public commentary session last Tuesday at

city hall, local business leaders expressed their support for bringing the resort to Gilroy, while residents in the neighboring 950 homes in Eagle Ridge opposed it. “The chamber met to discuss this opportunity and we urge that Gilroy continue negotiations with Great Wolf Lodge ” Gilroy Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Turner said. “This is a great opportunity and we should give it serious consideration. With 1,500 construction jobs, 500 hotel jobs and 300 vendors, many of whom are local, along with 500,000 visitors year long all of this will contribute to the economic well being of our community. Twice Gilroy voters turned down the opportunity for an RDA. Look at Morgan Hill to

see the opportunities they have had to revitalize their downtown because of the RDA. We can’t ignore this opportunity here.” Gilroy Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Tammy Brownlow said, “From an economic development standpoint, projects like this don’t come around very often. This is a company that wants to commit $200 million to our community and along with the jobs it brings, those benefits can be very beneficial. The city does not have a spending problem, but a revenue problem. This project could bring in a lot of revenue for roads, police and fire.” Conversely, many Gilroyans voiced their apprehension over the project’s location in the Hecker Pass Corridor next to

Gilroy Gardens. Many were concerned that Great Wolf Lodge would disturb the natural beauty of the area and that opening the area for development of that size would open a Pandora’s Box of future industrial and commercial development in an area that is not fit for such development. Concerns over increased traffic along with skepticism regarding the economic benefits the resort would bring, brought many to the study session to speak out. “I wanted them in Gilroy, just not near our homes in Hecker Pass,” said Eagle Ridge resident Betty Vaca. Said Peggy Vix, “This has the potential to be a very big problem for Gilroy. SInce I heard about this two weeks ago, I have

told that the company would build there. “We had an initial conversation with them this week and are waiting to hear more,” said Manteca manager Tim Ogden. “They shared they would be making a decision on a Northern California location but didn’t say any more. “We’re optimistic. We’d love to have them. We’ve been working on it for a decade.” Manteca’s plan is to have the Lodge as a part of a “Downtown Disney experience without Disney,” he said. It would feature an amateur sports complex and shopping center. The city has cleared its site, done environmental review and has the support of its residents, he said. The Madison Wisconsin based water park resort ended its exclusivity period with Gilroy ended on Sept. 30 but still has options here and in Brentwood. “It would take a long time to build in Gilroy because of the length of time it takes to conduct an environmental impact report and the entitlement processes,” said Velasco during a phone conversation. “They want to continue to look at Gilroy as a possible new Northern California location in the future.” The company told councilmembers it could foresee 900 rooms in the Bay Area, with 400 in Manteca, sources said, so the door is not completely shut to future considerations “We don’t know when they will come back to Gilroy or what location they will pursue,” Velasco said. “I’m optimistic that they will come back and we can make it a win for them and the city.” Great Wolf Lodge indicated that development was still possible for Gilroy. “As we look to expand the Great Wolf Lodge experience to new audiences, the potential of adding a resort in Northern California is

Schools get mixed grades in new tests ➝ Schools, 1

math, 42 percent women met or exceeded standards and in English 53 percent did. Only 39 percent of boys exceeded standards in math and 43 percent in English. Statewide 54 percent of girls exceeded state standards in English and 37 percent in math. Boys hit 43 percent in English and 38 percent in math. State Superintendent Tom Torlakson described the latest tests as “far more rigorous and realistic than the previous paper and pencil tests.” “We are asking more of our students, but for a good reason— so they are better prepared for the world of college and careers,” Torlakson said in the California Department of Education’s press release. One local school district official believes there is something seriously wrong with the state’s testing system and claims the scores are inaccurate. Glen Webb, MHUSD’s Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, said he has “concerns over the functionality of the tests” and that a nationwide trend in which the same exams are given proves his point.

“The decline in SBAC scores across the nation is statistically improbable and should be a red flag to all districts,” said Webb in a Morgan Hill School District press release. Morgan Hill’s results were comparable to Gilroy’s. Only half the students in MHUSD have either met or exceeded state standards in English. In math, 60 percent did not meet or nearly met that subject’s requirements. The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Online Tests are now in their third year of existence since replacing the former Standardized Testing and Reporting program that included the Academic Performance Index or API. The computer-based tests use California’s challenging academic standards and ask students to write clearly, think critically and solve complex problems, just as they will need to do in college and 21st century careers. “CAASPP results will show their greater value with time. The numbers will eventually allow us to track student progress and

development over time, and the more data received, the greater understanding we will have,” said Gundry in an earlier Sept. 27 press release. CAASPP includes a number of assessments, but the most widely given are the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments, which evaluate student progress on the California standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy, often referred to as the Common Core. The CAASPP tests for English Language Arts/Literacy and mathematics were given to students in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Ninth and 10th graders are not given the CAASPP exams. They consist of two parts. First, there is an adaptive test taken on a computer that gives students different follow-up questions based on their answers, thereby providing a more refined picture of a student’s abilities. Second, there is a performance task that challenges students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems. The two parts measure depth of understanding, writing, research and problem-solving skills.

TESTING Gilroy School Superintendent Deborah Flores has been at the helm for a decade and is trying to improve test scores.

a little mascot for us,” Shrull said. “Another time we were on a job where a customer was saying that they were hearing sounds coming from their roof. We disassembled part of their tile roof and found a whole family of squirrels. The babies were only the size of a little egg. We put them in a box and gave them to the homeowner. Since it was their house we left it to them to decide what to do with them. From what I heard, they all survived.” Sometimes the damage the squirrels do to roofs while stashing acorns can cause considerable damage. “In that situation it cost several hundred dollars since we had to repair the damage they did,” Shrull said. “The squirrels will often pull up shingles to hide their acorns. It’s worse for tile roofs.” The Blue, Black and Valley Oaks are native to Gilroy and for Native American tribes of California, including the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, who have lived in the area since before European colonization, acorns were an important part of their diet. According to a report released

Other than that, it isn’t a negative.” With acorns, come squirrels and both can cause roof maintenance trouble. Jimmy Shrull, owner of Jimmy Shrull Roofing Inc. of Gilroy, explained some of the harm that the acorns and critters can do to a roof. “Leaves, debris and the acorns that squirrels hide on roofs can dam up the valley areas of a roof, which are the important areas that drain water off of a house,” Shrull said. “Acorns can plug up gutter systems, which doesn’t allow the water to drain which will cause roof damage if left unnoticed.” Squirrels follow their food source and when oak trees are situated too close to a home’s roof, often pelting a house relentlessly with acorns, it also allows easy access to the rodents. Shrull and his employees often work near and around squirrels and the two species often brush shoulders with each other. Sometimes, literally. “One time one of our employees offered an acorn to a baby squirrel that went and crawled up his arm and sat there, it became

BUDDING FORESTS In the last year of the drought acorns didn’t have much of a presence. But this year, they are exploding on rooftops like fireworks. by Sacramento State, 75 percent of native Californians relied on acorns as a daily source of food. They would ground acorns into flour that would be used in bread, soups and porridges. Fortunately for car owners, acorns, which weigh less than

10 grams, will not leave dents in cars. According to Alyssa Lehr at Johnny’s Custom Auto Body on Wellburn Avenue, they have received no customers to repair dents caused by acorns. “We’ve seen a huge increase in hit and run accidents, but we

haven’t got any acorn claims,” Lehr said. For the adventurous gourmet, a recipe for acorn pancakes from PBS Foods be found on pbs.org/food/recipes/acornpancakes/. So, make the most of those acorns and bon appetit.

Bringing dignity to being homeless HOMELESS ADVOCATES, POLICE DISCUSS WITH COMMUNITY Scott Forstner Reporter

A room filled with caring residents sympathetic to the plight of the homeless throughout Santa Clara County absorbed the expertise of a diverse panel of advocates, law enforcement, city and school personnel during a Sept. 26 event hosted by the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. A county homeless count report released earlier this year revealed a 13 percent increase in homelessness across the county since 2015, with a point-in-time census of 7,394. These figures, as well as reallife visuals of a growing homeless population during a regional housing crisis, prompted AAUW members to provide a forum for discussion. The panelists were: Jan Bernstein Chargin (chair of the Compassion Center in Gilroy), Andrea Bird (lead counselor for Morgan Hill Unified School District), Rebecca Garcia (housing manager for the City of Morgan Hill), Claire Murphy (an Oakwood High senior who founded a nonprofit called “Manna”), Cecilia Ponziini (founder of Cecilia’s Closet and the Edward “Boss” Foundation) and David Swing (Police Chief of the Morgan Hill Police Department). Finding new creative ways to combat homelessness and generate affordable housing is in the wheelhouse of Bernstein Chargin, who has pushed for Measure A monies to go toward a village of tiny manufactured homes (400 square feet) for the most needy of residents.

“We have to find a way to get affordable units” built in the county, said Bernstein Chargin, who explained that twice as many jobs have been created than housing units since the recession. “As Measure A projects are proposed and you have the opportunity to oppose or support them, the best way to help is to support those projects,” she continued. “Right now people are living in their cars on the street, near creeks and in other unsanitary and unsafe areas.” The Compassion Center, located at 370 Tomkins Court in Gilroy (right across from the Social Services building) provides case managers to homeless and pays camping fees for them so they can have access to showers and bathrooms while they are waiting for permanent residences, Bernstein Chargin shared. She also touted the City of Morgan Hill’s safe parking program (called Focus) that provides eight homeless families with safe places to park their Recreational Vehicles and supply them with some basic essentials. “It returns human dignity to a difficult situation,” Bernstein Chargin said. “Right now, there isn’t any place someone can afford to live if they are working 30 hours on minimum wage. We need to build housing that can be affordable.” Bird, who heads up MHUSD’s CARE program that caters to students who are homeless, in foster care and socio-economically disadvantaged, dropped a bombshell on the audience by stating there are currently 652 homeless students in local public schools. She further explained, included in that count are students whose families live in RVs; “double up” with a handful or more of family members living in one room; and “surfer”

students who are on the outs with their parents and sleep on couches at friends’ homes. Bird said the district provides these identified students with free transportation to and from school and free meals on campus, as well as counseling at LIve Oak and Sobrato high schools and Britton Middle School. The best way for the public to help, Bird replied, was to offer an extra room they may have at their home to a family in need. Bringing some youthful resilience into the homeless issue, Murphy, a high school senior, founded “Manna” to help nourish young families, especially those headed by single mothers (63 percent of whom fall below the poverty line, she said). Murphy, along with some

friends, interviewed some lowincome families and found out that many must decide each month between paying rent, buying groceries or keeping current on their bills. In her conversations with homeless women, Murphy found they feel isolated and that no one cares about them. Interactions with homeless individuals is part of the job for local police officers—specifically MHPD’s Homeless Outreach Team, according to Swing. The police chief said officers carry backpacks in their patrol cars filled with toiletries and $7 in cash that they can distribute to homeless individuals they encounter. Ponzini has found success in many capacities with her “No

Child Goes Unfed” program, which writes checks to schools so they can provide free meals to students, no questions asked. To date, 1,800 students have gotten free lunch through that program, Ponzini said. It started at Ann Sobrato High School and has spread to Live Oak High School, as well as both high schools in Gilroy. “The community has been very, very good to us,” said Ponzini of the generosity of all kinds of donations received by her foundation over the years. She mentioned that gentle-used clothing as well as new socks and underwear remain priorities. They can be delivered to 35 Peebles Ave. For more information, visit edwardbossprado.org.

BATTLE OF THE BEST Gilroy will travel to Christopher Friday night to take part in the annual Severance Bowl, but this time a league title could be on the line as both teams are undefeated and showing no signs of slowing down.

Gilroy battles CHS for Severance Bell, control of division Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor

They’ve played the game for seven seasons and it’s always been important, if for no one else than the two teams playing and for the community they played it in. The Severence Bell is bragging rights, its school pride. This year, the winner of the Bell could be the winner of the Division. For the first time in Bell Game history, both teams enter the contest undefeated. Gilroy sits at 5-0, 1-0 after defeating Alisal in the Pacific Division opener two weeks ago. Christopher sits at 6-0, 2-0 after defeating Pajaro Valley and North Monterey County the last two weeks. The Mustangs are coming off a bye week. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at Christopher. Just once before, back in 2014, did the Bell Game actually decide a league championship. When Christopher defeated Gilroy in the last game of that season, the Cougars clinched a perfect run in the Pacific Divsion and edged out Monte Vista Christian for the title. But this year, all bets are off.

THE COVETED BELL The Severance Bell is the prize for the winner of the Gilroy-Christopher football game Friday. This year will be the biggest game as both teams are undefeated. Forget about the fact that Christopher has rung the bell for six years in a row. Gilroy has not been as good as it is now. Last year was the Mustangs’ first winning season since 2008, which was the last time they were undefeated this late in the season. Even last year when the Mustangs lost, it was in the season opener and they went on to have one of those special seasons

that turned into a CCS semi-finals appearance. And with Joseph Barnes back for another year and Jon Jon Castro back and Christian Rodriguez added to the mix along with a slew of strandouts on both sides of the ball. Christopher is not too shabby either. Led by junior quarterback Ben Sanford, the Cougars have been on a redeption tour after two

straight seasons of going 2-8 overall. The Cougars have outscored opponents by an average of 27 points. The only reason that number isn’t higher is because Christopher needed double overtime and a missed PAT to defeat Live Oak in Week 2. Sanford has thrown for 1,102 yards in just four games. Receivers Jason Scirigione, Cooper Aloha and Joseph Cupp are allowing

Sanford to have a diverse set of targets, eaching catching the ball more than 25 times this season and racking up at least 235 yards. Add runningback Tyler Davis into the mix and Christopher has a potent offensive lineup for Gilroy to deal with. Perhaps the best lineup since the Mustangs took down Live Oak in Week 3. The game will likely be decided by who can get its defense off the field quickest and who controls the line of scrimmage. Gilroy’s line has been its bread and butter so far this season and it’s proven to be stout in late game situations, with all except one of its games needing a second-half push to come away victorious. The Mustangs have been phenominal all this season in making second half adjustments that turn close games into routs. That will be put to the test as Christopher has put the peddal down in five of its six wins this season. It was only against Live Oak’s defense that the Cougars struggled to get going offensively to put a game away early. ➝ Bell Game, 20

The Rams got on the board in the first quarter with Ornduff throwing to Trevor Hobbs with an 11-yard strike to tie the game early. But Hartnell responded with two touchdowns in the second quarter and kept Gavilan in check the rest of the way. The Rams got back in the endzone midway through the fourth quarter on a one yard scoring run from Makel Hale. Gavialn will next host Shasta on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Gilroy High School.

Christopher shakes off first quarter rust to run away from N. County last week ➝ Bell, from page 19

For Gilroy, it has been grinding teams down with a combination of Barnes and Rodriguez. especially in Gilroy’s game against Alisal where Rodriguez went for more than 120 yards to join Barnes who had just under 150. Christopher vs NMC Christopher needed a

quarter to finally get rolling against North Monterey County, but once the offense got moving—plus a kick in the pants following a kickoff return for a touchdown by the Condors— the Cougars couldn’t be stopped in a 42-12 victory. Coach Tim Pierleoni said quarterback Sanford needed to shake some rust off after returning from an

ankle injury that kept him out for two weeks. Sanford threw for 294 yards and five touchdowns in the win with Cooper Ahola pulling down 107 yards receiving plus one touchdown. Runningback Jon Scarcella went for 42 yards on seven carries and Davis added a touchdown on nine carries.

Pierleoni said said he was impressed with how North Monterey County came out to start the game. He said the Condors had some good things working early and it pushed his team for 12 minutes. “North Monterey County played a very good first quarter,” Pierleoni said. “They got after it and did some really good

things. I was impressed. They gave us really good game there. If the kept up what they were doing, we would have found ourselves in some trouble.” Pierleoni said after his team went up 14-0, the Condors put a fright in his team running back a kickoff for a score. “They ran that kick back and made it 14-6 and

I think that woke us up a little bit,” Pierleoni said. Christopher scored late in the half after executing a 2 minute drill to go into the break up 28-6. From there, an accidental onside kick led to a touchdown in the first minute and the Cougars put things away with a touchdown less than a minute later.

Christopher went on a three-match winnig streak last week, thanks to wins against Alvarez, Live Oak and Alisal to pick up its seventh win of the season. After sweeping Live Oak in straight sets, the Cougars returned the next night to defeat Alisal in three, 25-19, 25-17, 25-17. Maya Tibron led the team with 17 kills with Sydney Ogden adding six and Kennedy Bretz putting down five. Through the first two sets, the Cougars jumped out to a big lead early, including 13-5 in the first and 15-8 in the second. Both times, however, Alisal rallied to pull within two points both times, pulling to within 16-14 in the first set after a 9-3 run and got to within 20-18 late in the first. In the second, the Trojans went on a 5-0 run to get to within 15-13, but the Cougars put the contest away quickly. Ogden had two kills, Grace Gundy had a dramatic kill and Tabron had an ace to answer the 5-0 run with a 6-0 run

INTO THE SWING OF THINGS Christopher standout

Maya Tabron follows through on an attack against Aliasl. of its own. From there Christopher put the hammer down and stole the momentum for the rest of the match. In the third, Alisal actually held a tie at 3-3 before Christopher went on a roll. The Cougars jumped out to an 8-3 lead that ballooned into a 20-9 lead late in the set. The Cougars held match point at 24-10 when Alisal went on a mini run to pull to within 11 at the end. However a Madison Hammer kill squelched

any Alisal effort.

Loss to Salinas Christopher couldn’t make the streak four in a row after a straightset loss to Salinas on Tuesday. The Cowboys won 25-11, 25-21, 25-18 to drop the Cougars to 7-13 overall and 1-4 in Gabilan Division play. Christopher will next attempt to get back into the win column when the Cougars host Notre Dame Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m.

FIELD HOCKEY

Gilroy field hockey keep win, shutout streak alive The Gilroy field hockey team extended its unbeaten streak to nine games thanks to a 4-0 win ove Christopher and a 5-0 win over Carmel on Sept. 28 and Oct. 3, respectively. Against their rival Christopher, the Mustangs broke a scoreless tie in the second half of the game thanks to goals by Gina Barbaglia and Audrey Larson in a span of less than a minute. Larson finished with two goals in the match, including on in the 44th

minute. She finished with two goals and an assist with seven shots on goal. Celeste Perales added a goal early in the second half. The Cougars found themselves playing defense most of the match, unable to get a shot on goal against the Mustangs. On Tuesday against Carmel, Gilroy went up 1-0 10 minutes into the game thanks to a goal from Larson on her way to a pair of goals and an

assist agianst the Padres. Teammate Cameron Rogers had a natural hat trick with goals at the end of the first half and two midway through the second.

Public Notice

Admin Estate Theobore B. Davis NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Theodore B. Davis, CASE NO. 17PR181928 FILED: 9/6/2017. To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Theodore B. Davis, a.k.a. Ted Davis. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Paul H. Davis in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. The PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: Paul H. Davis 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: 11/22/2017 Time: 9:00 a.m. Dept: 12, Superior Court of California County of Santa Clara, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, California, 95113. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. 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: Rusconi, Foster & Thomas, APC, J.C.
