LOCAL SCENE BIg recognition for local resort In a 2017 survey of global luxury travelers, the Rosewood CordeValle Resort in San Martin, was ranked as one of the Top 10 Resort Hotels in the world. Travel + Leisure’s readers gave the premium golf and tennis resort a score of 98.00 out of 100, which made it tied for No. 10 overall. CordeValle was one of 17 U.S. resorts named to the Top 100 and was the top-ranked California hotel. With its 260-acre golf course, 85-acre winery, miles of hiking trails, and 45 guest rooms with views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it is a truly idyllic Northern California paradise. In July 2016, Rosewood CordeValle hosted the U.S. Women’s Open golf tournament, which brought renewed attention to its bucolic environs.

St. Louise Hospital last year hosted 350 community friends for the first community barbecue event to thank the first responders who fought the Loma Fire. That fire burned 4,474 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains in late September and early October. The event was such a special thank-you from the community members to first responders that the hospital has decided to make it an annual tradition. The entire South County community is invited to the St. Louise Regional Hospital campus for an afternoon of food, music, and fun family activities on Saturday Oct. 14 from 11am to 3pm. Emergency personnel and families are guests, with a suggested donation of $5 for community members. Funds exceeding costs will be donated to St. Louise Regional Hospital Foundation. Firefighters, police officers and emergency personnel will be on hand to visit with community members.

The first time Rey Sumano, 49, sampled sourdough bread he hated it. It was...well, sour….and he was expecting it to be sweet, like a French loaf. But after working in bakeries that specialized in the historically artisan bread that takes 24 hours to prepare and bake, he came to love it. It became his favorite bread and a huge breadwinner for what has become a $6.5 million-a-year family business.

NO LOAFING Rey Sumano, of Sumano Bakery, plans to bring his 65 employees to Gilroy and double his staff in Gilroy.
Today he makes 3 million loaves of sourdough a year at his Watsonville and Los Angeles bakeries. He said this week he’s about to move his headquarters to GIlroy at 7050 Monterey Road just north of 10th Street, a building that once housed the Farmhouse Brewery and Diamond Doors. At 23,500 square feet, the new site is more than double the size of his current location in Watsonville. Sumano said he spent $2 million on it, planning to double his business, which now has 65 workers. He’ll spend another million dollars getting it up to code for food preparation and adding a retail outlet. “This is what it’s about,” he said. “Creating jobs and opportunities. It’s the American Dream.” He chose Gilroy because it’s
near the freeway and he can reach customers in Silicon Valley. He distributes the bread as far north as Pleasanton and Mountain View, but plans to expand sales to the capital of sourdough, San Francisco. “We are very confident we will do well there. We have a very good product.” His bread uses no preservatives or additives and is delivered fresh to markets daily. His outlets include Safeway, Albertson’s, Lucky’s, Nob Hill and Whole Foods. Gilroy’s Cafe 152 Bread Co. uses it for sandwiches already. If a loaf hasn’t sold, he buys it back and replaces it with a fresh one. He’s also supplied all the bread ➝ Sumano, 10

Test scores at local charter schools soared in the last statewide tests, while the majority of students in local public schools fell below the state standards in math and science. At Gilroy Prep, a charter school, 83 percent of the students in third through seventh grades met state standards in English and 75 percent of them met them in math. At Hollister Prep, part of the same Navigator school chain, 90 percent of the students met standards in English and 75 percent met them in math. Of Hispanic or Latino students at Gilroy Prep, 80 percent met or exceeded standards in English and 70 percent met or exceeded them in math. By comparison, only 48 percent of Gilroy Unified School District students, including elementary, middle school and 11th graders, met or exceeded standards in English and 40 percent in math. The Gilroy numbers for the category of Hispanics or Latinos were significantly lower, with only 40 percent successful in English and 32 percent in math. Statewide, 49 percent of public school students met English standards and 38 percent met them in math. The results for the 60 students at the Dr. TJ Owens Gilroy Early College Academy were even greater, with 99 percent meeting standards in English and 95 percent in math. Those high school students study advanced courses at Gavilan College. The low scores in the large, public schools prompted Glen Webb, Morgan Hill’s Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, to suspect that there were problems with the design of the tests, which he said “weren’t functioning properly” across the country. However, the charter school results offer other evidence, even in the most challenging categories. At Gilroy Prep, 78 percent of economically

The theme park pulled it off with flying colors and lots of them. We spent two hours there last Friday and could have stayed a bit longer without being bored. It got two candy-filled thumbs ups from 2-year-old Parker and based on the reactions from other kids there, it was a hit. “We want to be spooky, not scary,” said marketing assistant Jacob Estrada.

BUSINESS
Everyone needs a roof over their heads SHRULL’S ROOFING COMPANY HAS BROUGHT THEM TO GILROY FOR GENERATIONS By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
#
Madison Shrull
Jimmy Shrull has never sold a roof, but he’s put up untold thousands of them as owner of Jimmy Shrull Roofing Inc. of Gilroy. For his business, the story of a five-generation family enterprise and the building of lifelong relationships in the community, has done the selling itself. “In this business, what I learned from my grandfather and dad is, that business is about building relationships,” Jimmy Shrull, 50, said as he sat on the grass outside a home on which he was working. “I tell our story, which is very powerful and I think that’s what people like most about us.” The story of Jimmy Shrull Roofing Inc. began in 1932, when Jimmy’s grandfather, Roger Shrull, founded Shrull Roofing in San Jose. Roger moved from South Dakota to San Jose at 16 years old and got his start as a union roofer with Al-Cal Roofing. Shrull Roofing, with Jimmy’s father Bob as an employee, would go on to install the roofs for former San Jose landmarks, Century Theaters near Santana Row, which have since been torn down, along with their domed roofs. “The legacy that my grandfather and father left drives me becuase I always want to continue to make them proud,” Shrull said. “A lot of customers that we have now were friends and customers of my father.”
As Jimmy’s father, Bob, got his start in the business, the wisdom behind the roofing business was sparked in Jimmy one day while sitting on his grandfather’s knee. “Since it’s a very hard and dangerous job, I asked my grandfather why he was a roofer,” Shrull said. “He put his arm around my shoulder and said, ‘son. Who do you know who does not have or need a roof over their head?’ Then, I understood.” All three of Jimmy’s children are involved in the roofing industry. Middle daughter Brooke, 24, is on the payroll, as the company’s secretary while the youngest, Madison,19, is a photographer who takes photos for the business and CJ, 26, works for a roofing supply wholesaler Southern Shingles in Austin Texas. Born in San Jose, Jimmy is deeply rooted into the Gilroy community. He went to elementary school at Rucker, then to South Valley Middle School and later to Gilroy High, where he wrestled. Jimmy met his high school sweetheart, Debbie, at Gilroy High. “My wife and I have poured our heart and souls into this community,” Shrull, who’s family are members of New Hope Community Church said. “When I met her I knew I only wanted to be married once, to have three kids, a boy, a girl and whatever God gives us and two dogs. That’s exactly what God gave us.” Technology has changed since the Roger Shrull got his start in the 30’s. The long and painstaking process of taking accurate measurements can now be done with Google Maps, and the quality of roofing materials has
FIFTH GENERATION Gilroy’s Jimmy Shrull with his grandson Madison,
soon to be a fifth generation Shrull roofer. improved to a point where manufacturers offer lifetime guarantees. The backbreaking and dangerous job of lugging pallets of shingles up to a roof has now been streamlined by a 40-foot conveyer belt used by Roofline Supply out of San Jose, from whom Jimmy Shrull Roofing buys all its supplies. “Roofers insurance premiums are among the highest for any industry,” said Shrull, whose workers always wear safety harnesses. “Our rates per man are very high because the danger of the job and because of accidents that happen at unsafe companies.” While roofing has been a family tradition, the businesses themselves were not
inherited. Each generation of Shrull started his own independent businesses as they left their fathers’ companies. Bob created Shrull and Sons Roofing when Jimmy was 3-years old and his brother Robert was 7-years old. Bob Shrull had a long term plan in mind. “My father used to joke that I was the S at the end of Sons, in Shrull and Sons Roofing,” Shrull said. “That used to hurt my feelings, but then I realized that it was just part of our story.” Just as Bob Shrull needed to start his own business, so did Jimmy. Along with his wife Debbie, Shrull put together a business plan, created a logo and officially started his business in 1999. Some things are
beyond Shrull’s control. During the heavy rains last winter, the company was hard pressed to keep up with calls for service. “We were busy last year but we’re even busier this year,” Shrull said. “I think people knew it was coming, but they didn’t react. The people who acted too late are calling me this year. When the rains were coming, our phones were ringing off the hook. We love doing service calls and when someone calls, we’ll be there.” Now, after his daughter, Brooke, gave birth to her son Mason, Jimmy is proud to say the business has extended to a fifth generation. How fast 85 years fly. “We got a long way to go,” Shrull said. “I want to hit 100 years.”

T
hank you good caller for alerting us to the reckless driving on Wren Avenue. It must be frustrating to move into a new home only to discover that your road is a popular raceway. And adding insult to injury is when the scofflaws give you the finger. Red Phone immediately contacted Capt. Pedro Espinoza of the Gilroy Police Department. Capt. Espinoza turned over the case to Sgt. Jason Smith who gave us the following report: “The Gilroy Police Department is aware of the reckless driving issue on Wren Avenue. Both our traffic division and our patrol division have been notified. They are deploying resources as time allows to detour unsafe driving and to apprehend any violators. We encourage any resident who witnesses reckless driving to report it by calling 911. Please keep in mind that the 911 system is intended to render urgent assistance in true emergencies and should not be used for simple motor vehicle violations. All nonemergency reports can be made by calling (408) 846-0350. If you call 911, pull over if you are driving and tell them your location, the description of the vehicle/driver, and their direction of travel. The license plate number, state of origin, vehicle make, model, and color are also helpful. Do not follow the car or take a cell phone picture, as these actions may magnify the potential roadway dangers. In fact, because you have identified this driver as a threat, be sure to exercise caution and maintain a safe distance from their vehicle.” Sgt. Smith says that the police department can take action under the following conditions: 1. The reporting party files a police report. 2. he reporting party can positively identify the driver (photo lineup, etc.). Just because the vehicle is registered to someone does not mean they were the driver or even had knowledge of the alleged acts.
Dear Red Phone: My wife and daughter and I recently moved to Gilroy and seem to have bought a box seat at the Gilroy Speedway(Corner of Wren and Vickery)! We regularly have cars drag racing up and down Wren, blowing through the stop sign at Wren and Vickery as well as doing donuts. They will do four, five, six donuts then take off. At times multiple cars line up to do it! Please do something to stop the dangerous and reckless driving that is damaging the streets, home values, neighborhood and putting our lives at risk. 3. The reporting party is willing to make a citizen’s arrest and willing to potentially participate in future court proceedings. If the above conditions are met, the case will be forwarded to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office for review. It will be up to their office to decide whether or not to file charges for reckless driving or a similar charge. “In some cases we have had reports of ‘sideshows,’ which are essentially informal demonstrations of automotive stunts,” says Sargent Smith. “Although there has been some activity in Gilroy it is definitely more prevalent in the Bay Area. Common activities at sideshows include doing doughnuts and “ghost riding,” which involves people dancing on the hood of the car, or next to it, whilst the car is rolling driverless. Violent incidents, including shootings, have been known to happen at these events. The Gilroy Police Department, CHP, and the Santa Clara Sheriff ’s Office are all aware of the inherent dangers of sideshow activity. We collectively do our best to curb that behavior and hold those who choose to participate in these events accountable for their actions. In addition to the dangers of reckless driving, there are stiff penalties if one gets arrested. In California, a conviction for engaging in a ‘speed contest’ (defined as a motor vehicle racing against another vehicle or being timed by a clock or other device) consists of a fine up to $1,000 plus penalty assessments, up to 90 days in jail, or both. The perpetrator’s license may be suspended or restricted for up to six months. A police officer may impound a vehicle when the driver is arrested for engaging in a speed contest, for reckless driving, or for an exhibition of speed (for example, screeching or peeling of tires due to hard acceleration). An involved vehicle can also be impounded for up to 30 days.”

OPINION LETTERS Goodbye, Squarehead
BRYCE STOEPFEL
Gilroyans show how rude the roar of the crowd can be
T
here are a lot of very sweet, kind and hard-working people who live at Eagle Ridge. Of that, I have no doubt. However, during a meeting with Great Wolf Lodge representative Bryson Heezen a couple of weeks ago at the community building the atmosphere was–and I try to be diplomatic–downright rude. Maybe it’s the power of a crowd. Or, that I can’t completely understand the complexity and depth of concerns that many Eagle Ridge residents. But when I left the meeting, or as it happened when I was ejected by Eagle Ridge security, I was left shocked by what I heard. What I saw wasn’t just rude, it was plain mean. Answers to questions were met with scoffs, derisive laughter and off the cuff commentary dismissive of what Heezen had to say. It was chaotic and the negativity seemed to spiral into a hate tornado directed at Heezen, no matter what he had to say. Indeed, Heezen was there to put the company’s best face out there for the public, but by the tone of the meeting at Eagle Ridge, I would have thought he was trying to build a toxic waste dump based on the reception he got. I understand the apprehension that comes with a city’s growing pains. Concerns are valid, but to greet the entreaties of a business that seeks out Gilroy to do business like the invasion of a Mongol horde, is no way grow Gilroy's economy. It's also bad business. Gilroy is growing whether we like it or not. As new homes are built around town, people are coming to Gilroy to live in them. You can't put the genie back in the bottle on this one. With more people, come more problems. Gilroy will need more cops, fire personnel, better roads and better sewage. There will be more students in the schools and there will be more cars on the road. A lot of those people will need jobs and
the city will need tax revenue to keep up with everything. That’s where Great Wolf Lodge comes in. Whether it’s Great Wolf, or another industry, Gilroy needs to attract new businesses. Businesses are risk-averse, however and they don't want to move to a town full of NIMBYs. N.I.M.B.Y., a term that George Carlin popularized in the 1980s, stands for Not In My Back Yard and the term has been used to describe many of the arguments used against the proposal.
Concerns are valid, but to greet the entreaties of a business that seeks out Gilroy to do business like the invasion of a Mongol horde, is no way grow Gilroy’s economy. It’s also bad business. The problem here is that neighbors are prone to protest any development near them. The city could theoretically put the world’s biggest roller coaster on the 35 acres that are zoned for recreational development. How would they feel about that? Or what if Apple wanted to build here and bring in a ton of traffic? Would people protest? I support their right to protest as much and as often as they want. I just hope they will remember to be polite, which was definitely not the case this time.

If you noticed Gilroy's atmosphere dim on Sept. 19, it was because we lost the most mirthful man I’ve ever known — John Albaugh. We met in the early days of the Garlic Festival, when our wives were organizers of the Children’s Area. At that time he drove a boxy old van he used for his handyman business. Adorning that van was a big sign announcing what I think was his Citizen’s Band radio handle, “Squarehead” — a reference to his Scandinavian heritage. It was obvious John put humor before vanity, he’d rather get giggles from a self-deprecating nickname than present an image of dignity. Just a look at the photo that accompanied his obituary will show the unsuppressed, mischievous, twinkle of fun that defined him. John had a perpetual gleam in his eyes. Whenever we met he would first hug my wife, then turn to me and the jokes would start bubbling out. Like all great humorists, the joke itself was secondary, the real impact came from John’s radiant joy and the sense he took it as his mission to make the world a better place, one giggle at a time. Perhaps the last comment needs revision: John never rested after just one giggle, there were always several. What’s more, John would always hold back when I had a joke or a quip, and his reaction magnified the quality of my remarks. If John’s elfish enthusiasm was the best part of his stories, it also became the best part of mine! When his wife, Marge, passed away and John began to slow down, I could stop by at J.Chris and Larry Mickartz’. John had moved to his daughter’s home, the beautiful place he had helped restore. I wish I could visit him again, John always lifted my spirits, even when they weren’t low. Phil Laursen Gilroy
Thanks, Dispatch I'd like to complement your team on the continual coverage of the apartments, and many valid problems have been identified with this project. My question is how did the city address these concerns in their impact studies which were necessary for the approval for this project? Steve Ghazi Gilroy
FROM THE WEB Gilroy test scores flat Failure starts at home! We have to stop making excuses and start addressing the problems, and first, is home life. Second, is understanding English. Third, is giving the students what they need, more back to basics and less career ready. How can you become career ready if you don’t have the basics! Cheryl Onion Jenkins Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page
Don’t point fingers Shame on you Gilroy Dispatch for causing this finger pointing and blame. Maybe that was your point in using a picture of Dr. Flores, to cause this controversy when you know very well it is not one person’s fault. Perhaps this was to boost, your post but a bad decision when I have spent numerous parent meetings with Dr. Flores. She has every student’s best interest all the time. Debbie Tsuda Gjerde Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page
Bad system at the schools Our entire public school system is a dropout festival. The standardized tests do not show the gifts of each student, and teachers are bound to teach for these silly tests instead of using their gifts and potential that they were hopeful to use when becoming a teacher. So many good teachers and wonderful young people; unable to teach, learn and share because they are limited by these useless tests. Catalina Ventura Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page
Schools get an F Thank you for the article. LOVE the dissing of the tests! And why not a picture of Flores? After all, she's been presiding over this failing system for a few years now. As,a parent I am disgusted with our schools. Joyce McMillion Cain Taylor Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page

eorgene passed away peacefully on the afternoon of September 29, 2017 at the age of 72. She was surrounded by her family in the home which she built with her husband David.
David and Georgene met at Cal Poly University and were married in January 1967 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Mountain View, CA, where Georgene had grown up as a young girl. Georgene was proud to have graduated from Cal Poly with a BA in Business-Industrial Relations, following in the footsteps of her beloved father who served as a union worker/foreman in San Francisco for over forty years. While Georgene was an extremely private person, she was well liked and loved in the community of Gilroy, California where she and her husband David built and owned a thriving small business, Abbott’s Pro Power for more than thirtyfive years. That business is still thriving today through the work of her husband David and son David Jr. Georgene believed in being kind to others, accepting all faiths, religions, and nationalities, and to giving back to the community in which she lived. She was an extremely spiritual woman who lived every day praying to God for the blessings he had bestowed upon her. She loved being a business owner, a wife, a mother, playing with her dogs and her grandchildren, gardening, and listening to music, especially country music. Her life brought so much joy to those around her, who knew her as an extremely strong and passionate woman who was patriotic, proud, and virtuous. Preceded in death by her father George Rettig, mother Catherine Stahor, her brothers George Rettig Jr., and Eugene Rettig. She is survived be her daughter Renee Abbott Blocker, her husband Lewis, their children Michaela, Emily, and Nathan, by her son David Jr., his wife Nicole, and her grandchildren Bode and Sydney, her nephew Russell Rettig , his wife Sharon, nephew Randy Rettig and partner Charles Wayne Wood.

B
lake Robert Birnie, 22, was reunited with his twin brother, Bryan, in heaven on October 7, 2017. Blake was born on September 8, 1995 in Santa Clara, the son of Greg and Cynthia Birnie. He graduated from Christopher High School in 2014. At the time of his death, Blake was working towards achieving his associate degree at Gavilan College. He was studying business agriculture in an effort to understand the flora that surrounded him and harness it to fulfill his entrepreneurial ambitions. Blake found release in art and music. His vocal talents bridged a gap between his family and friends, which so many young adults struggle to connect. Blake’s friends and family have lost a truly remarkable young man, but they all agree that the way he touched their lives and brought people together means he will never be forgotten. Blake is survived by his parents; siblings Christopher, Nicholas and Nicole Birnie; grandparents Sterling and Anna Chalk; aunts and uncles Debbie Chalk, John Chalk, Ben Chalk, Mohana and Kimberly (Birnie) Dissanayake, David and Marcy Birnie; niece Trinity; 14 cousins and his life affirming and ever present circle of friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Jim, Audrey, and Peggy Birnie; his uncles Jeff Birnie and Frank Chalk; and his brother Bryan Birnie. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Blake’s name to Friends of San Martin Animal Shelter.

Sumano grows American Dream in Gilroy ➝ Sumano, 1
here. There’s no other country like this one. “ He’s raised four kids, now ages 13-23, with wife Maria Elena. He drives them back to Oaxaca twice a year–a three-day drive– so they can appreciate how poor they would have been if they had stayed in Oaxaca and how much they have here. “I want them to appreciate what they have,” he said. They also visit his mother brothers who still live there. The company uses the same sourdough starter the Sumano brothers created 16 years ago–one of the things that keeps sourdough authentic is that it is all born of the same starter–and among their many secret and not-so-secret ingredients are fog rooms in the factory that keep the unbaked loaves in a San Francisco-style climate. Bigger bread companies that need more speed for more profits give up on sourdough because it takes so long to age and prepare, leaving a niche for this smaller business. Sumano said there are plenty of customers who are surprised that he’s making this San Francisco favorite instead of authentic Mexican tortillas or pastries, but he said he wants to stick with what he loves. He’s tried to sell sourdough in Mexican markets with little success. His favorite way to eat sourdough is toasted with butter. “I never get tired of it. My customers either, I guess. We keep growing.”

for the Gilroy Garlic Festival for the past five years. Sumano’s bakes 364 days a year, closing only on Christmas Day, and starts delivering to stores at 2am. The business goes through 70,000 pounds of flour a week in Watsonville, shipped from a mill in Oakland. Loaves sell for between $4.50 and $5.29. The firm sells baguettes and French breads, but sourdough is their mainstay. Sumano’s life has truly been the American Dream. He came to the U.S. illegally at 15 from a small town in Oaxaca state and worked in the fields in Half Moon Bay. That led to a job at Gayle’s Bakery in Capitola, where he was introduced to sourdough. From there he and his brother, Rafael, got jobs at Alfaro’s Bakery in Watsonville where they worked for 13 years until it went out of business. They bought the used equipment and started Sumano’s 16 years ago. Both became American citizens after serious study for the naturalization test. “This is the country I want to live in and the country I want to die in,” said Sumano. “This is my home. It’s incredible how many opportunities you have here if you work hard and get a little smart. You can make it
FOG BANK Sumano bakery’s owner Rey Sumano poses in front of one of his not-so-secret weapons,

He may move to Gilroy when he opens here. He will offer a shuttle service for his longtime workers from Watsonville. When he opens sometime next year, the company will turn

SUMMARY On October 31, 2016, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed its 2016 Catastrophic Event Memorandum Accounts (CEMA) Application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This Application is requesting approval to increase rates for the following: The 2016 CEMA Application seeks recovery of $141 million in electric distribution, gas distribution and gas transmission costs. If the CPUC approves this Application, PG&E will begin to recover its costs in rates effective January 1, 2018. This Evidentiary Hearing (EH) has been scheduled by the CPUC to review PG&E’s application. BACKGROUND The CEMA are used to record costs related to the following: (a) restoring utility services to customers; (b) repairing, replacing or restoring damaged utility facilities; and (c) complying with governmental agency orders in connection with events declared disasters by state or federal authorities. The costs from declared disaster events are different from the costs associated with “normal” and “major” emergencies. Unlike the costs for “normal” and “major” emergencies, forecasts for CEMA events are not included in the General Rate Case or Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case. HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT ME? The forecasted electric revenue requirement increase is $133 million. For 2018, the forecasted gas distribution revenue increase is $6.4 million and the gas transmission revenue increase is $1.6 million. Detailed rate information was sent directly to customers in a bill insert announcing this filing in November 2016. For a typical bundled residential Non-CARE customer using 34 therms per month, their bill would increase from $56.67 to $56.77 or by 0.2 percent. However, individual customer bills may vary and how the increase is distributed to each customer class will ultimately depend on the CPUC’s final decision. EVIDENTIARY HEARING At this EH, the assigned Administrative Law Judge (Judge) will receive testimonies from 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 or 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, modify or deny PG&E’s proposal. Any of the five CPUC Commissioners may also sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the Commissioners 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, 2016 CEMA Application (A.16-10-019), P.O. Box 7442, San Francisco, CA 94120. A copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits are 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/.

Scaring up more attendance at Gardens ➝ Halloween, 1
which took up a good half hour for our 2-year-old who didn’t want to stop following older kids through it. We watched other parents have to drag kids out of it after they’d gone through half a dozen time. There’s a storyteller who shares not-too-scary weird stories around a firepit that would appeal to older kids. The amphitheater showed classic old TV shows, “Bewitched,” “The Addams Family” and “The Munsters.” We didn’t stop to see them, but would on a second visit. We were too busy running after the ecstatic Ever Ready Bunny of a kid, who didn’t want to sit still. There’s a coloring area and a place for kids to decorate Halloween bags ($1); a lake with lighted floats like a starry night on water you can walk right next to; spooky selfie spots; a giant lit up spider in the butterfly area; trick or treat stops giving out candy; and some spookified versions of the daytime rides are open. The ghostly petting zoo was great, with snakes that could be
taken out of their cages by a handler and Alpacas. The only negative there was they wanted an additional $1 to visit it. After paying $20 or $25 for an online ticket ($20 if you buy four or more and $30 at the door) and $15 for parking and drop an easy $40 on food, seems like one too many outreached hands. The best way to afford this 7pm to 10pm exhibit is to spend $90 for a 2018 yearly pass which gets you free visits now and great bargains for the whole next year. Halloween nights are Friday through Sunday until Oct. 29. Estrada said the park was pleasantly surprised by the first night’s attendance of 2,000. It’s a must for families with kids up to 12 for a safe, fun, thrilling Halloween celebration. For older kids, Gilroy Garden’s sister theme park, Great America has one of the best and scariest Halloween Haunts we’ve ever seen, with monsters jumping out all over the place, haunts decorated with the panache of a Hollywood movie, amazing theater shows and creepy stuff everywhere.
LIT UP Gilroy Gardens lives up to its reputation as a family friendly theme park, even during its Halloween nights.
HAUNTING HALLOWEEN You’d be hard pressed to find a scarier, more professional Halloween Haunt than
the one at Great America. It can be pricey, at $33 a ticket, but it was well worth it for this family.
LOST IN A MAZE Kids stayed in the Scary Boo Hay Maze not because they were lost, but because they had so much fun navigating the bales of hay and chasing other kids. Parents had to beg them to leave.

Newspapers get new managing editor Staff Report
Barry Holtzclaw has been named managing editor of the three newspapers and two magazines of New SV Media—the Morgan Hill Times, the Gilroy Dispatch and the Hollister Free Lance, and South Valley and San Benito magazines. “Our weekly publications, in print and online, serve three distinct, thriving communities and offer unmatched professionalism and commitment to local news,” said Holtzclaw. “It’s an honor to join this editorial team, as we implement our shared mission to provide our readers with valuable local
news and essential local information they can’t find anywhere else.” “This reflects our expanding investment in and commitment to local news,” said Dan Pulcrano, publisher and executive editor of New SV Media. “Communities depend on accurate, timely reporting to grow, thrive and maintain quality of life. Each publication has its own editor and staff, and this new position supports each publication’s mission.” Holtzclaw was a local news reporter with daily newspapers in New York and North Carolina, and a local news editor in New York and Kansas. He has been a publisher

of economically disadvantaged students met or exceeded standards in English and 70 percent in math and of those with English as a second language, 72 percent met standards in English and 72 percent in math. So why are the charter schools more successful? “We have since our inception in 2011 gone to the top-performing schools across the state and taken bits and pieces from each
school,” said Kirsten Carr, the director of community outreach for Navigator Schools. “We’ve created our own educational model. We are able to have a little bit of creativity in the curriculum, basing it on common core and on things we have found that stimulate student success. We also focus on coaching teachers. Every staff member is coached weekly. Creating phenomenal teachers will create phenomenal students.” Students are assessed weekly
and teachers meet to examine the strengths and weaknesses of each student and figure ways to help them. The class size of 30 is larger than Gilroy’s average of 28, although the school on IOOF street is significantly smaller than any in the Gilroy district. There are only 60 students in each grade and the students split time between full classrooms and smaller groups. Students get into the school by lottery with preferences for those

who have siblings that have already attended. There are no academic standards or financial requirements to get in. Selection is random. Carr said the fact that Navigators scores didn’t improve in math suggested that perhaps there was something to the rigor of the tests, which have only been in place for three years. She said the math scores didn’t grow as much as the schools had hoped, though were still far ahead of state standards. The charter has worked with
teachers at other school to share methods, including Rod Kelley Elementary School, which had 62 percent of its students reach the highest scores in English and 61 percent in math. Gilroy’s two high schools showed varying results. At Christopher High 67 percent of the students met or exceeded standards in English and 32 percent in math. At Gilroy High 58 percent met or exceeded in English and 28 percent in math.

Gilroy HS racks up a victory over Santa Catalina GILROY GIRLS TEAM REMAINS PERFECT IN LEAGUE PLAY
defeating Christopher for the first time in six seasons
GILROY WINS THE COVETED BELL GAME Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor
If you needed any indication what the Severance Bowl meant to Gilroy, you had to look no further than Spencer Soares. The Gilroy senior ran up and down the sidelines screaming that they were about to ring the Severance Bell, ripping off his helmet every time he came off the field and got more and more manic as the clock ticked ever lower. Finally, the clock struck zeros, the scoreboard read
Gilroy 24, Christopher 6 and the Mustangs raced to the west end zone to do something they had not done for seven years: Ring the Bell signifying they won the rivalry game. “It’s something our team just always wanted and just so happy that we were finally able to do it,” said Gilroy quarterback Jon Jon Castro. Castro and the entire team were at a loss for words for what had happened that night. The only other time the Mustangs won the Bell was in the first year of the rivalry game when they beat the Cougars 40-17 in 2010. Since then, it has been all Christopher who got to ring and keep the bell for the last six years. “Our job as coaches was
to constantly instill confidence in the boys and they came out and proved it,” said Gilroy coach Jubenal Rodriguez. “I have a lot of respect for Coach (Tim) Pierleoni, but our program was definitely the better one.” As the clock wound down, the Gilroy kids got louder and louder with their cheers that they were going to ring the bell and none louder than Soares. “Spencer was there when I first got hired as a sophomore on varsity with me. He experienced the lows of program,” Rodriguez said. “It was awesome to see him let off all the emotions he had built up.” Gilroy improves to 6-0 and now has the inside track for something truly special.
The Mustangs in their remaining four games against teams that are a combined 9-16 overall in their chase to win out and claim the division title. Gilroy has not won a league title out right since 2007 when the Mustangs captured the Tri-County Athletic League crown. The following year Gilroy was forced to share the title in a three-way tie after losing to North Salinas to snap an eight-game winning streak. Still up ahead for Gilroy is 4-2 Watsonville on the road. That will be followed by Pajaro Valley (1-6), Monterey (2-4) and North Monterey County (2-5). “That was a huge game for us because gave us a playoff experience with the atmosphere. That added to it,” Rodriguez said. “It’s
definitely going to prepare us going into Watsonville.” The loss is Christopher’s first of the season, dropping the Cougars to 6-1, 2-1. CHS still has Alisal (3-4, 2-1) and Watsonville (4-2, 1-1) left on the docket, but wins against them and a win over Monterey would put pressure on the Mustangs to win out. “We’ve got three tough games left without a doubt,” Pierleoni said. “Monterey, Alisal, Watsonville, they’re all good football teams and they’re all getting better. We’ve got our work cut out for us, without a doubt. That’s called life. There’s wins, there’s loses. That’s football.” Gilroy stunned Christopher thanks to an offense that refused to leave the ➝ Bell Game, 19
VOLLEYBALL
Rams thrive on the road Emanuel Lee Staff Writer
The Gavilan College women’s volleyball team has been road warriors this season—literally. Due to the renovation of the school’s gym, the Rams haven’t had a place on campus to play or practice. Instead, Gavilan has been relegated to practice at Gilroy High’s auxiliary gym—read, not the main gym—while playing every match on the road. “These young women have been super resilient,” said Rams coach Kevin Kramer, who expects the renovated gym to be open for play within the next two weeks. “I’ll be honest—they haven’t complained about
it at all. I hope in long run once we do get back home, we’ll reboot and hit a stride we haven’t been able to hit yet.” Expectations are high once again for the Rams, who are coming off their first-ever appearance in the finals of the state tournament. They’ve already shown flashes of having the potential to return to that stage for the second straight year, especially in regards to team chemistry. To wit: When two returning starters off a state contending team are asked to switch positions, that’s enough to potentially ruffle some feathers and change the dynamics of a team.
Egos get bruised. Tension sets in. In turn, the team falls apart. That story has played out time and again in every sport, in every age group, across the world. However, Gavilan is one of those programs that rise above any potential distractions and changes, because everyone has bought into the one for all, all for one mentality. So it is for the Rams, who enter Friday’s match at De Anza College at 12-4 overall and 2-0 in the Coast Conference South Division. Last year’s middle blockers, Haley Leifheit and Jenna Clonts, have moved to the right side because ➝ Rams, 18

The Gilroy girls water polo team extended its unbeaten league record on Tuesday with yet another thrilling victory over rival Santa Catalina, 13-12. The Mustangs started quickly, jumping to a 3-1 lead and looked to be in total control with an 8-5 lead when the half time buzzer sounded. But the Cougars were not going to go away quietly as they outscored the Mustangs 4-2 in the third period to only trail 10-9. Gilroy, however, rallied late and controlled the clock and never relinquished the lead, outlasting its foe. The game featured solid team defense, what is fast becoming a defining characteristic of this team, said coach Doug Pickford. On the offensive side of the pool, Erika Cates and Dillania Barnett came up big, scoring seven and three goals, respectively. Rounding out the scoring were two goals by Ashley Harding and a single tally by KK Brolin. The Mustangs hope to continue their quest for perfection when both the boys and girls visit Alvarez on Thursday.

freshmen Camille Finley and Evelyn Clonts— yes, Jenna’s younger sister—are taller and more suitable to play the positions. Instead of causing strife, the Clonts sisters—they both prepped at Gilroy High—can tease one another about the situation. “Evelyn took my spot,” Jenna said with a chuckle. “It’s good, and I expected it. She’s so tall and so strong, and it’s nice I get to see her grow and improve. We’re so close in age and have played all through high school and club together.

are dynamic. The change of position has worked out better for the team.” indeed, Kramer said this could be the most complete and balanced team he’s had in his 11th season at the helm. “The biggest boost we’ve had this year is the ability to block and control a match that way,” Kramer said. With Evelyn Clonts and Finley—a 2017 San Benito High graduate— locking down the middle, Jenna Clonts and Leifheit (San Benito) manning the right side and the trio of outside hitters in Katelyn Viray (Christopher), Sarah Weiby (Gilroy) and Katia Dizon
(Anzar), the Rams have a physically imposing net presence. “This is probably the best blocking team we’ve ever had,” Kramer said. “One of the things we’ve lacked over the last couple of years is athletic and physical net play from the blocking side, and these ladies really enjoy it and making their presence felt.” Gavilan’s offensive attack isn’t dominated by one player; rather, several players are capable of scoring points off a swing. Other than Viray blasting 20 kills in one match, no other player has had over 15 in a single match throughout the season.

field and a defense that played fast and played aggressive. “We were ready physically, mentally,” Barnes said. “We were preparing for two weeks because of the bye week and we knew before we stepped on the field that we would be ready.” The Mustangs came away with three interceptions on the night and one fumble recovery. Christian Rodriguez rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown and pulled in the fumble in the fourth quarter after Christopher had entered Mustang territory and was threatening to get on the board. Teammate Joseph Barnes rushed for 83 yards on 26 carries with a touchdown.
Quarterback Jon Jon Castro threw for 96 yards including a 27-yard touchdown to Andrew Castro to put Gilroy up 24-0. Jon Jon also came away with a key interception denying the Cougars who had marched down to the Gilroy 6 after Ben Sanford completed five passes in a row. It proved to be a momentum swing as Christopher was attempting to answer a Gilroy touchdown that came on the pervious series. Rodriguez broke a scoreless tie 53 seconds into the second quarter on a four-yard run to cap a 49-yard, 11-play scoring drive. Christopher had one possession in the first quarter, a three and out that resulted in a punt.
Pierleoni said with his offense off the field, it put immense pressure on his defense to step up and ultimately the Mustangs simply grinded the game out. “I thought our defense played really well for being on the field for three quarters of the game,” Pierleoni said. “They played really, really well, but all the credit goes to Gilroy High. They did an excellent job.” The Cougars in the second quarter converted a key third down and Sanford seemed unstoppable as Christopher threatened to answer the score. But Jon Jon Castro found a pass headed his way and he flipped the script. “I was just behind the ball on that. Brandon
(Weiler) was in front of me and the ball just ended up coming to me,” Jon Jon said. “It was a huge momentum change and I couldn’t have done it without these guys.” Sanford still had 121 yards passing with a touchdown, but he and Christopher just seemed snake-bit the entire night. “It kind of felt that way. We definitely didn’t get any breaks tonight, that’s for sure,” Pierleoni said. “They played an excellent game. Their coaches did an excellent job. The kids did an excellent job. They took the air out of the ball the whole night. They did exactly what they needed to do. They kept our offense on the sidelines. That was a very good game played by Gilroy High School.”
Christopher golfers eye league title The week’s headline match is against crosstown rivals Gilroy, and it shall have big implications on league championship. Gilroy has only lost to Christopher and are bound to be looking for redemption. CHS beat them 268-298 with Sophomore Kaylyn Scourbys as medalist, in the first match. It was her first medalist honor, but she has already racked up a couple more in the past few weeks. She recently, with a low score of 46, took the honors against league rival NMC. Team Captains Samantha Vogel and Madisen Ruelas, who also have both medaled in matches, have really been the pillars in our program. Vogel currently has the season low score of 42. From modeling integrity and determination,
to leading by example, these team captains are both responsible for this year’s success. We have a young team including two Freshman starters, Emma Horn and Mikaela Santiago. These two young ladies have really stepped up to fill out out team. Joining the freshman, Ariana Hemstreet and Mitzi Sanchez, both new to the program, have filled in when and where needed without any question. With the departure of last year’s leader, this young squad stepped up, put in the work, and really bonded. “I attribute a lot of their success to their short game. We practice short game about 70 percent of the time on the course,” said coach Jason Navarro. “There are longer hitters in our league, but none
more accurate around the greens.” With a team of eight golfers, four brand new to the sport, the girls really have to minimize their errors when facing programs like GHS and NMC. With the season almost over, the Lady Cougars never look past the next match. With two matches left, GHS could play spoiler to the first undefeated season. The girls remain focused and know they cannot overlook any team. Last year the Cougars ended up losing one match for making that error, Navarro said. That still doesn’t sit well with him the team’s leaders and they are using it as fuel. Next week the Cougars face Watsonville for our last match, and then off to championships.

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.

Picture a school where... students develop confident self-expression.
Oakwood students graduate with
Please join us at our Open House! Saturday, October 21st 10am to noon
the confidence and knowledge to project their voices thoughtfully from any stage. Here, performing doesn’t mean pretending to be someone else. It means becoming your best self and learning how to share that self with others. That’s why we give all our students plenty of opportunities to perform in public. Students begin to speak more clearly, listen more attentively, and challenge their own boundaries—the key to success in any college, any career, any relationship.
