Green hype moves Green Tripe DOG FOOD MAKER SAYS IT WILL MOVE PLANT FROM HOLLISTER

By Brad Kava Editor

Gilroy is about to get a new dog food company thanks to Hollister’s looser cannabis cultivation laws and the run up on building prices they are bringing about.

Green Tripe, which sells millions of dollars a year of raw dog food around the world, is leaving Hollister after more than a decade because its landlord sold his 9,000-square-foot building for hundreds of thousands of dollars over the asking price—in cash.

With legalized marijuana

in the city, cannabis growers have been speculating on buildings in the industrial district.

A neighboring building valued at $900,000 sold for $2.1 million in cash and its owner applied, but was denied, a cannabis permit.

Green Tripe, which is owned by husband and wife Mary and Peter Voss and has five fulltime and three parttime employees, is moving to Alexander Street in Gilroy, even though owner Mary Voss said they offered the Hollister landlord the same $1.2 million price for a building that was listed for $600,000, but the competitors paid in cash.

The couple paid $1.45 million for the 8,387 square foot Gilroy location at 7238 Alexander

The Home Depot Foundation recently awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6309 a $8,750 grant and Home Depot employees will spend a day painting, hammering and making minor repairs to improve the Gilroy Veterans Hall.

“Home Depot is always supportive of veterans,” said VFW Commander Bob Diaz.

“We are thrilled to receive the grant and the assistance in making the place we call home a little nicer.”

The Veterans Hall is home to the VFW Post 6309, which includes the auxiliary, and also the American Legion Post 217 and its auxiliary. The veterans hall hosts monthly meetings and social events for these organizations.

The Canteen is also a popular watering hole for veterans passing through the area.

Home Depot volunteers will lend their trade skills to paint, replace lighting fixtures with energy efficient ones, add storage units and make other minor repairs to the Hall that was built in 1951.

Founded in Gilroy in 1946, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6309 is a patriotic veterans’ organization that fosters camaraderie among veterans of overseas conflicts. Its mission is to serve the veterans and the community and to advocate on behalf of all veterans. Worldwide there are more than two million VFW members. In Gilroy, there are nearly 300 members.

The work starts Nov. 3 from 9am until it’s completed at the Gilroy Veterans Hall, 74 West Sixth St.

CITY MOVES BEFORE POT LAWS CHANGE IN JANUARY Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Unlike what’s going on in neighboring Hollister, the green dreams of pot entrepreneurs in Gilroy are drying up.

The city has already legislated against medical marijuana dispensaries and will take action in the next few weeks to ban recreational growing and sales of cannabis.

“We have to do something before the end of the year or you fall into state

licensing requirements,” said city planner Sue O’Strander. “Our intent is to stay in line with what Gilroy expects.”

Gilroy has legislated against medicinal marijuana and will make amendments to the city code regarding personal use of marijuana and the planning department has recommended restricting commercial sales.

Hollister, in contrast, has legalized commercial cannabis sales and cultivation.

Since 2010 the Gilroy City Code has imposed a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries and in 2016 the city amended the code to prohibit

medical marijuana cultivation, delivery, and commercial marijuana activity within the city.

This statute was in part overridden last November in California when 56 percent of voters approved Proposition 64, The Adult Use of Marijuana Act. Under the act, for adults aged 21 years and older, the use of marijuana will be legal in January. The act also allows for the growing of up to six marijuana plants on private property for personal use, which supersedes the city’s code.

SUPREME START Gilroy native Tyler Park got sworn in as a lawyer by one of the top

judges in the country, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. The Justice, appointed by President Donald Trump, was Park’s professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Gilroy High graduate sworn in by Gorsuch NEW JUSTICE WAS TYLER PARK’S PROF IN CLASSES AT COLORADO

By Brad Kava Editor

When Gilroy High School graduate Tyler Park, 26, was at U.C. Davis studying political science, he wasn’t sure what he’d do with his life.

Then he went to a mock trial club run by his roommate, and fell in love with the law.

“For some reason, I got hooked on it,” said the 26-year-old. “It was fun. All these tricks to talk to people and convince them of things.”

That led him to his next stop, law school in Boulder, Colorado, where he became intrigued by telecommunications and technology law and had Neil Gorsuch as his anti-trust law professor, just before Gorsuch was appointed to the Supreme Court.

“He was really inspirational,” said Park.

“Every day he showed up for class he expected us to prepare for class and to do our best. I would read the material and thought I understood it but he had a way of really showing the depths of it. I was disappointed

when he left in the middle of class to go to the Supreme Court.”

When he passed his exam and was ready to be sworn into the Colorado Bar, Park wrote his former professor and asked him to do the honors, which he did in his new digs at the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Being sworn in at the Supreme Court, under a portrait of Chief Justice Taft, the only man to be President and Chief Justice, felt surreal,” he said. “It still feels surreal.

It was very special and it is not something I will ever forget.”

Park grew up in Gilroy where he attended Luigi Aprea Elementary, Brownell Middle School and graduated from Gilroy High class of 2009. He graduated from U.C. Davis with honors, Phi Beta Kappa, with degrees in Political Science and Spanish. He graduated in May 2017 from the University of Colorado Law School. During Law School, Park interned with the Boulder District Attorney and Hogan Lovells law firm in Mexico City.

Park currently has a fellowship to work for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington D.C. “I think that like in

any area of law, there are good people on both sides of any debate in telecommunications who are working to strike the right balance and make good, thoughtful policy,” he said, looking toward his future goals. “However, it's a process and it does take longer than it seems like it should.

“Telecommunications is fundamental to how we live our lives. It's your phone, laptop, the internet, 911 services, satellites, WiFi, fiber optic cables, and even invisible electromagnetic waves constantly bouncing all over the world.

“I am excited to think deeply and carefully about the multitude of issues that we face like ensuring consumer privacy, artificial intelligence, connecting our cars to the internet, and fostering new technologies that we haven't imagined yet. I will advocate for sound policy that helps people continue to communicate with each other.

“One piece of advice that Justice Gorsuch gave was to make sure that at the end of your career, you can look back at the work you have done and tell your kids about it and be proud,” said Park. “I mean to do just that.”

Veteran’s remains return home FRANK MASONI’S SOUTH COUNTY DESCENDANTS PLAN MEMORIAL SERVICE Michael Moore Editor

‘Horrendous’ battle

During the Battle of Tarawa, Masoni was assigned to Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division.

Specifically, he participated in the invasion of Betio Island.

“Its personnel, men primarily in support jobs, were not normally used as infantry, but during the first two days of fighting on Betio, every man supported the fighting in any way possible,” reads the DPAA’s narrative of the battle and Masoni’s involvement.

Sandoval added, “The battle was so horrendous. He survived day one, and died the second day.”

As soldiers died during the

Louis, Frank, Clorinda

Gilroy resident Frank Louis Masoni died in combat just two days after landing with the U.S. Marine Corps at Tarawa Atoll in the South Pacific in November 1943. Nearly threequarters of a century later, in the summer of 2017, his remains were positively identified by military officials, and his South County descendants will finally get to bury him.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency is in the process of transporting Masoni’s full skeletal remains—which have been buried in an unnamed grave at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu for decades— to his 90-year-old brother, Richard.

Richard, who still lives in Gilroy, and his sons, daughters and other family are planning a Nov. 18 burial service.

“I’m so happy he’s getting a chance to return home after all these years,” said Gilroy resident Lanna Sandoval, Frank Masoni’s niece and Richard’s daughter. “It’s so emotional. I wish his other brothers would have had the chance to be alive during this time. And I’m happy my dad has the opportunity to see this in his lifetime.”

Frank Masoni was the oldest of four brothers who grew up in a home on Chestnut Street— now Lewis Street—in Gilroy.

Their parents, Clorinda and Salvatore Masoni, were Italian immigrants. All four of their sons served in the military.

Frank Masoni enlisted first at the age of 20, and went to Marine Corps basic training in South Dakota before his deployment to the South Pacific theater of World War Two.

Richard, the youngest of the four siblings, was 16 when he dropped his oldest brother off for his trip to basic training at the bus station in Gilroy.

“He didn’t realize that would be the last time he would see him,” Sandoval said.

Sandoval and her sister Clorinda Sergi shared these details of their family history one recent afternoon at Sergi’s Morgan Hill home. Although Masoni’s nieces and nephew never met their uncle, they grew up hearing stories about him and confirmed he was a dutiful older brother.

“He always looked out for Dad,” Sandoval said. “He smoked, but he wouldn’t give Dad any cigarettes.”

The government notified Frank Masoni’s parents in December 1943 that their son, an Assistant Cook in the Marine Corps, died in combat Nov. 21.

Although his death was confirmed, the location of his remains was “unknown” due to the massive number of casualties on the battlefield, and the lack of sophisticated identification methods at the time, according to Masoni’s official government file, copies of which were provided to his brother and nieces in August.

THE WHOLE FAMILY Louis, Frank, Clorinda (mother), Salvatore ( father), “Uncle” Salvatore and Richard Masoni lived on what is now Lewis Street in Gilroy when Frank left to serve with the Marine Corps and fight in the Battle of Tarawa in 1943. His brothers were later recruited to serve in other branches of the military, and all of them saw combat. battle, the living gathered their bodies and moved them to collection points for burial. The bodies received temporary burials on the island or, in some cases, burials at sea.

“The Marines just buried as they went, and made makeshift graves,” Sergi said. “He did not have his dog tags on him when he died.”

The remains of hundreds of American soldiers who died in the Tarawa Atoll were then transported to other locations in efforts to identify them, according to Masoni’s file. By 1949, “after every effort available at the time to identify the remains,” the bodies of Masoni and other soldiers were buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as the “Punchbowl” cemetery.

Then in October 2016, DPAA

gained authorization to re-examine the remains of soldiers who died at Betio Island and exhumed numerous graves, Masoni’s among them. Officials identified Masoni by comparing dental x-rays, a chest radiograph and other records with his skeletal remains.

‘Been a long time’

That led to DPAA’s contact with Richard Masoni this summer, and the promise that the family will finally be able to bury Frank Masoni’s remains—as his parents wanted.

The government’s file on Masoni’s service and death includes copies of six hand-written letters sent by his mother to the government between 1944 and 1948, reminding officials that she was still waiting for his remains.

“I am very much interested in

having his body returned home.

Would appreciate all you can do,” reads a November 1946 letter from Frank Masoni’s mother to the General Accounting Office in Washington, D.C. Frank Masoni didn’t have any children, but he has a large crew of surviving nieces, nephews and their families, many of whom still live in South County.

“The Masoni family can now have closure as we ponder the fact that freedom isn't free,” Sandoval added.

Richard Masoni’s daughters said the return of his brother has been too emotionally overwhelming for him to speak extensively about it. But he said in a written statement delivered

by Sandoval, “It’s been a long time and I’m glad it’s happening.”

Suburban sprawl, Big Data and the death of the quiet country road

I

t’s Thursday morning. The day I dread, as I have to take two trips out during Country Road rush hour. My oldest son needs to get to a friend’s house two miles away on Foothill to get to school early for band practice. I have been up since 5 am watching the line of cars zoom by my home on New Avenue in San Martin, 25 to 40 of them per minute.

We live near Harvey Bear County Park and have been here for three years. I estimate that traffic has tripled in that time and somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 cars trucks and big rigs pass my home between 5 and 8 every weekday morning. They don’t drive the speed limit and are oblivious to the neighborhoods they drive through.

At 6:05 am, my son and I leave for the fiveminute harrowing drive. I’m able to quickly get on New Avenue today. Sometimes I am forced to sit in my driveway for many minutes as I wait for an opening in the high-speed traffic. We wind down around the corner to the stop sign at Foothill and New Avenue. The car at the fourway stop that follows me immediately hits his brights and the yellow Ford Mustang passes me doing 70 miles an hour.

Another car behind me hits his brights and honks, because for goodness sake I have no right to turn on this road. Heading home, I’m turning right and not left into the speeding line of cars. I begin to nudge out onto the road and am faced with two cars, one in the right lane and one in the left coming right at me.

The car honks at me, swerves and just misses me as I sit stunned considering how close I was to being plowed into by the racing Honda.

It’s 6:35 am and time to take my other son to the bus stop. The traffic in front of my house has started to lighten up to around 20 cars per minute. We pull out and roll down New Avenue to Foothill. We drive down Foothill at 50 mph and the cars behind me are impatient because that is not nearly fast enough even though the speed limit is 45. I turn on my blinkers to turn left on Middle as I do every morning just as the guy behind me is preparing to pass me. I brake to turn and get

out of his way as he accelerates to well past 60 mph on the narrow two-lane road.

Driving down Middle Ave we approach Columbet, then Sycamore. This is the intersection where my wife was in an accident last year as an unlicensed driver ran through the stop sign and pulled right in front of her.

She T-boned him.

People blow through this stop as they race to avoid the traffic on adjacent Highway 101.

There is zero law enforcement. Stop signs and speed limits don’t matter I tell the details of this morning to illustrate the danger now present in these parts. Our family were residents of Morgan Hill for 11 years prior to moving to the country. We just wanted a bit more space and found this great home on what was at the time a marginally busy road. Now, thanks to unlimited growth south of us, and the advent of Google Maps and Waze, the roads that we drive every day around our homes have turned into major commuter thoroughfares.

There is zero law enforcement. Stop signs and speed limits don’t matter. What do the people driving through here care? They don’t live here. Waze just says this is the best route to get them there faster, and that’s what matters.

It is only a matter of time before a largescale accident where people die during these commute hours is going to happen. Living in the country now is a completely new Wild West where people drive as if they are the only ones on the road with no concern for laws or other drivers. We need help. Where is the CHP? Where is the Sheriff? Where are the people who help moderate traffic flow? Where are my tax dollars?

People will die. I pray it is not me and my kids as we drive to the bus from our lovely country home.

I read your "Guest View" by Deborah Flores, "Why do charter schools perform so much better than others?"

The article acknowledged but glossed over the critical difference of the extra funding charter schools enjoy that public schools don't. If they had the funding, public schools would gladly buy more technology, provide additional professional development for teachers and hire additional highly skilled staff in the classroom to lower the ratio of teacher to student.

Charter schools also enjoy increased parental involvement, just by the inherent selection process.

A less-involved parent may not be as motivated to go through the hoops of entering the charter school lottery.

Children with more-involved parents statistically do better. Then of course you have the natural resentment of the parents who failed the lottery and now have to send their child to a perceived inferior school and possibly go in with a negative attitude.

If I was a GUSD teacher or parent in one of their public schools I would be upset that I was not receiving the same funding as the charter schools.

This seems like a violation of the law that every child will receive the same education. Every dollar given to a charter school is a dollar taken from a public school. Why don't we just give every school the same funding?

San Martin, the new rural speedway For years, San Martin residents have voiced concerns to the county for approving construction without considering concerns of residents. Of recent years, San Martin residents have been victims of perchlorate contamination from Olin Corporation, the Waste Transfer Site next to the elementary school, and the recurring Raw Sewage Contamination assault from Morgan Hill. Last winter when the sewer trunk system (managed by Morgan Hill and Gilroy) spilled hundreds of gallons of raw sewage onto Llagas Creek, San Martin roads and farmland, neither city would claim responsibility.

And now we are watching San Martin become a rural speedway. The rural roads of San Martin, where equestrians could once meander, is now where commuters zoom at highway-speeds, having no respect for the residents and the serene country roads. Truckers notoriously use the roads as a detour from Hwy 101 and daily commuters are following suit. Through the farthest-most rural residential roads to the heart San Martin, drivers are racing at excessive speeds down Columbet, Middle, and Murphy and Sycamore Avenues. Residents attempting to exit their driveways or just to retrieve their mail are jeopardizing their lives as they dodge rude, horn-honking, reckless speeding drivers.

Were traffic studies really considered when Morgan Hill and Gilroy approved their many massive housing developments? Was the unincorporated rural community of San Martin ever taken into consideration? Likely, not.

Back in 2000, dispiritedness within the community grew and a few residents formed the San Martin Neighborhood Alliance and have addressed county planners. Unfortunately, most county representatives do not live in South County.

SMNA continues to address concerns of large developments that are being proposed in San Martin, and in an effort to get attention of the decision makers, they designed T-shirts with the slogan "SIZE MATTERS In San Martin".

The San Martin Community is also being used as an 'unauthorized park-n-ride' by commuters. There are several areas near Mama’s Market where the soft shoulder of the road is being ruined by commuters parking their vehicles there all day.

Residents have been speaking out online. They are sharing facts about auto accidents of loved ones, that continue to take place throughout San Martin.

They have listed specific safety hazards and have posted pictures exposing these facts. It seems, from all the comments from San Martin neighbors that something needs to take place. Here are some general ideas: 1) a better sheriff presence 2) “local traffic only” signage 3) speed bumps 4) more fourway stop signs 5) yellow flashing warnings to slow down. Although this may impact residents from getting around, it will improve chances of surviving another day on the road.

Gilroy loses Tree City USA designation CITY DIDN’T FILE THE PAPERWORK Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

the Arbor Day Foundation and once the application is submitted, the city expects to regain its Tree City USA status.

“Once the Public Works Department submits the paperwork I couldn’t imagine that it would take more than six to eight weeks,” said Henig.

Recently the city has been tangled in litigation when it approved legislation in May to remove more than 200 trees citywide, including 35 in Christmas Hill Park. The Gilroy City Council approved a $258,000 contract with West Coast Arborists for tree maintenance.

The city removed 235 trees, which it determined had posed a safety risk, but also agreed to replant 95 trees per year for five years.

Gilroy is proud to be acknowledged as a Tree City USA city.

Right? Actually, no.

At a meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Recreation Manager Adam Henig revealed that Gilroy is no longer an official Tree City.

Why? Somebody in City Hall forgot to apply.

In the midst of turnover in the Public Works Department, the deadline to file the proper paperwork to the Arbor Day Foundation was missed and the city lost its Tree City USA status in 2016.

“Being a Tree City USA does not grant money, but it’s a recognition that a city actually does care about trees,” said Danny Cohn, the Public Relations Director for the Arbor Day Foundation.”

Gilroy became a Tree City USA member in 1980 when tree maintenance was under the supervision of the Parks and Recreation department. Today the city’s trees are taken care of by the Streets, Water and Trees Division.

To officially qualify as a Tree City, a city must adhere to four guidelines which include having a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a budgeted community forestry program and an annual Arbor Day celebration.

The good news: Gilroy still adheres to the standards set by

OBITUARIES RICHARD “DICK” MANFRE November 10, 1926 - October 27, 2017

R

ichard (Dick) Manfre passed away in the early morning of Friday, October 27, 2017, at his home in Hollister at the age of 90.

Dick was surrounded by his loving family in the days prior to his death.

The family doted on him as his sisters, nieces and nephews visited to share in the laughter and storytelling of each ones unique relationship with him. This is a man who knew without question, he was truly loved.

Dick was born in Medford, Mass. on November 10, 1926 to Irene and Hugo Manfre.

He shared his birth with his identical twin, Robert (Bob). He enjoyed being the eldest by seven minutes. As WWII was underway, Dick enlisted in the Navy, leaving Medford High School in his senior year, 1944. His military service ended in the Philippines aboard LST 749 when it was attacked and sunk. After recuperating from extensive injuries, Dick returned home to Medford where he married Barbara Quinlan. Together, they had three children, Loretta, Richard and Charlene. Dick was a proud veteran and graduate of his beloved Boston College.

In 1949, the family of four relocated to Watsonville where Charlene was born. Family life and a career in the banking industry took them to San Jose. Ultimately, Dick began a career as a self-employed Real Estate Appraiser. Appraising became his life’s work. It was through this career that he was able to make and sustain life long friendships within the industry. At the age of 85, Dick made the decision to hang up his tape measure and retire.

Dick was blessed with his life partner Teresa, whom he met through his association with the British American Club. Married on November 10, 1975, on Maui, they enjoyed 42 years of marriage, traveling, dancing, laughing and living life to the fullest.

Dick is survived by his wife, Teresa, his three children, Loretta, Richard and Charlene. Four grandchildren, Ty Moran, Aaron Moran, Ryan Manfre, Sierra Manfre, eight great-grandchildren, sisters Beverly Van Sant, Jeri Hawsey and sisters-in law Shirley Manfre and Donna Manfre and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dear Red Phone,

I have been a resident of Gilroy for over 77 years and am writing about the terrible condition of San Ysidro Road, the road going from Home Depot to Saint Louise Hospital.

When I was growing up as a kid I remember it was a dirt road until the Gilroy Outlets were built. Someone should take a ride out there to see that portions of the road are popping up – Call (408) 842-9070 or email redphone@ in some places as much as six to seven inches gilroydispatch.com. out of the ground. Don Gage, our previous mayor, had the road patched but since then, the road has further deteriorated. I have been reading about other Gilroy roads that are slated for repair, like Swanston Lane which is a dead-end street. Why would we re-pave a dead-end street that hardly gets used when San Ysidro is in such great need?

David Stubchaer, operations manager and senior civil engineer for the city, responded to your question about why Swanston Lane is being worked on instead of San Ysidro, saying, “There is a water line replacement project on Swanston, but not a road project. San Ysidro is on the list of roads to address and is currently in design.”

Gilroy rejects 2018 cannabis tax windfall ➝ Pot Legalization, 1

The recommendation from city staff is to make sure local ordinances comply with state law allowing personal cultivation, but prohibit the outdoor cultivation of marijuana.

Gilroy is bucking a trend that is bringing big bucks into other states. According to Marketwatch. com, Colorado pulled in over $200 million in tax revenue from $1.3 billion in marijuana sales. California also expects substantial tax revenue.

Along with legalization, the state is charging a 15 percent excise tax on recreational marijuana and expects to bring in $1 billion in tax revenue according to Forbes.com.

Earlier in October, the Hollister City Council approved Monterey Bay Alternative Medicine to take one of two approved medical marijuana dispensary sites. Hollister is cautiously expanding legal

marijuana businesses, and expects to welcome cannabis manufacturing businesses that make edible and concentrated marijuana.

With the revenues, the city is expected to hire a cannabis affairs officer, an additional police officer and sergeant, an IT technician, an account technician and an additional deputy fire marshal. While the initial costs of the hires is expected to cost around $824,000.

“Those costs are offset, at least right now,” said Hollister City Manager Bill Avera in an interview with the Free Lance on Oct. 6. “The revenues you’ll be generating from cultivation alone that the council has already approved is about $1.161 million. That doesn’t count any of the manufacturing sales and dispensary sales.”

GREEN BUSINESS Nearby communities like Hollister are hoping to cash in on a cannabis boom market.

Dog food maker buys Alexander St. site ➝ Green Tripe, 1

including one called “No Guts, No Glory,” and spent a year finding local small slaughterhouses to buy the less desirable parts of slaughtered animals for humans and built a plant to grind them up, package them and freeze them for dogs.

In 2003, they began manufacturing in a small building and moved to a bigger location in 2007 at 807 Industrial Drive, in Hollister.

The business took off as breeders, owners of competitive dogs and police departments began spreading its praise.

“Initially when I started the website, I just wanted people to know about green tripe,” said Mary. “I had so much success with it. We know it does wonders for the dogs and they thrive on it. I didn’t intend on making it a business. I was a software engineer.”

The food brings domesticated

dogs back to their evolutionary diet when they were wild wolves.

Voss said her dogs never needed dental work from the diet.

“So how can something so disgusting, be so good?” she writes on her website, greentripe.com. “These same gastric juices and enzymes not only aid the animal in digestion, but also aid the dog in digesting and efficiently utilizing his food. The amino acids are necessary for muscular development and, the other gastric juices, I believe, are the best cleaner for their teeth!”

The tripe is made from animals that are fed organic grass and lived near Hollister or in the Central Valley. The animals all pass standards for human consumption.

Green Tripe was featured on a 2008 episode of the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs along with a business that traps leeches.

Bryce Stoepfel

It was really stressful to find a place. But this one will be better for us. It’s smaller, but the layout is better.”

The Voss’s started the company in 1998, as just a domain name.

They had lived in the Netherlands for a decade, both working as engineers for Phillips, and they saw dogs there eating raw food– specifically, tripe, the stomachs of ruminating animals. When they returned to the States, they couldn’t find any of it here.

They found some for their own dogs and Mary started a website about the health benefits of tripe– which is actually brown, but has a tinge of green from the grass the animals eat. The Afghan Hounds she raised on the raw meat were strong competition dogs that lived healthily for more than 18 years.

She wrote articles about it,

GOLDEN GUTS The tripe may not look pretty, but dogs love the finished product.

New animal shelter on its way to San Martin COUNTY TO FUND $26M PROJECT Scott Forstner Reporter

Robert Eliason

A new county-funded animal shelter is on its way to San Martin in a long-overdue project that proponents say will significantly expand South County's ability to house, rehabilitate and find homes for countless rescued animals.

“This is exciting for us,” said Lisa Jenkins, who is in her third year as shelter supervisor and also acts as the interim program manager at the existing 40-year-old facility located on Murphy Avenue. “The current facility is quite antiquated. Looking at that facility, a lot of people don’t realize the great work and life-saving that goes on inside its walls.”

County officials were scheduled to unveil their plans for the proposed San Martin animal shelter during a Nov. 1 community meeting at the South County Office Building located at 80 Highland Ave., right near where the new facility will be built.

The meeting was held after this paper’s print deadline.

They are expected to break ground in early 2019, according to Jenkins.

The new shelter, which will replace the cramped quarters of the aging facility located at 12370 Murphy Ave., “will enhance animal care and safety with modern technology, include an upgraded adoption center, and add a barn to house abandoned horses and other livestock,” according to the county report.

A feasibility study completed in 2012 recommended an increase in space to safely and effectively care for animals, and evaluated 80 Highland Ave. as a potential location for

DOG DAYS Two rescued Chihuahua dogs remain

in their cage at the 40-year-old Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in San Martin. The county has approved plans for a new $26 million facility.

the new 4.5-acre shelter, according to county staff.

The site will include a 36,000 square feet onestory shelter; a 2,500 gross-square-feet barn, and exercise yards; and a parking lot. An attractive and welcoming new facility will increase community engagement, raise awareness of animal welfare issues in the County, and increase the number of adopted pets.

“The proposed shelter facilities reflect the growing needs of the South County community for a larger adoption center, modern animal care technology and temporary housing for abandoned livestock,” said County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, who represents District 1 where the new shelter would be located. “We welcome comments and ideas from residents to ensure that vulnerable animals are properly sheltered and ultimately find loving homes.”

The existing shelter houses approximately 3,000 dogs and cats each year, and is the only shelter in Santa Clara County that cares for large livestock and horses. The new plans will increase the number of horse stables to eight

as well as have a pasture for the horses to exercise, rehabilitate and roam free, Jenkins shared.

“We’ve obviously been pushing for this for a long time,” Jenkins said.

“I’m so excited. The possibilities just seem endless now....The community can get a shelter that they can be proud of.”

The new shelter will cost $26 million and was approved as part of the county’s budget.

Wasserman, along with representatives from the Animal Shelter Program, Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency, Facilities Department and Planning Office, were expected to be on hand at the Nov. 1 meeting to lead the discussion and answer questions from residents.

“Animal Services is dedicated to helping the wide variety of homeless animals in the community; however, since it was not intended to house animals for extended periods, it is challenging to optimize their physical and mental well-being,” according to the county’s announcement for the new shelter.

Gilroy on the cusp of history

INTO THE WIND UP... Christopher’s Maya Tabron wind up for an attack as Gilroy’s defense comes together to set a block during their match on Friday.

CHS, GHS SQUARE TO END SEASON

Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor

Thanks to an unexpected opening in Christopher’s schedule, the Cougars hosted Gilroy to close out the regular season Oct. 27.

Christopher took down the Mustangs in three straight, but not before a battle between the two squads in the second set.

The Cougars swept the match 25-11, 25-22, 25-17.

Gilroy closed out the season 12-15 overall while going 5-7 in Pacific Division play.

Christopher advanced to the Central Coast

Section Division II playoffs where the Cougars hosted San Mateo in the first round on Wednesday.

If Christopher won the match, the Cougars would have advanced to play No. 1 seed Mountain View on Saturday.

Check gilroydispatch. com for results.

Gilroy was led by Maggie Brinkman who had seven kills followed by Margo Clonts who had five kills.

Sophomore Ella Blank had 10 digs.

The night before, Christopher fell in straight sets to Salinas 25-14, 25-11, 25-18 to officially conclude Gabilan Division play.

For Gilroy the night before, Brinkman had 12 kills in a 3-1 loss to Seaside.

CHS set for season finale Bryce Stoepfel Staff Writer

Christopher High (7-2, 3-2) avenged a two-game losing streak at home Friday night when the Cougars blew out the Watsonville 42-14 in a crucial Monterey Bay League-Pacific Division game that kept their playoff hopes alive.

“They played a little upset tonight,” said Christopher coach Tim Pierleoni. “When you lose two games in a row that’s a bad taste and they wanted to get it out.”

Junior quarterback Ben Sanford ran the Cougars’ precision passing attack beautifully, leading the offense to four unanswered

touchdown drives on the way to a 28-0 lead before Watsonville could get on the board.

“Ben did a great job, but it was our offensive line tonight; they did a great job,” Pierleoni said. “We ran the ball well, they pass protected well and Ben did a great job throwing, but it all starts out there in front on both sides of the line.”

Christopher now will get ready to finish the regular season and will hope to do so on a high note to keep playoff aspirations alive.

Because of a loss to Alisal, Christopher is forced to settle for an atlarge bid to get into the Division IV playoffs.

In front of the Cougars is Monterey who is also looking to end its own twogame losing streak as well as play possible spoiler against Christopher.

Monterey is coming off a 43-6 loss to Gilroy.

The Toreadores will play right into Christopher’s strengths as they are led by a junior quarterback Evans Charles who has thrown for more than 1,000 yards, but will also turn the ball over.

Christopher will need to get things rolling early in hopes of earning its eighth win of the season to better its playoff resume.

Kickoff is slated for 7:30pm Friday. After,

Robert Eliason

Gilroy is on the brink of something it hasn’t done since 2008: Win a league title.

With a win Friday night, Gilroy could clinch no worse than a share of the Pacific Division crown and will earn top billing from the league into the playoffs due to holding a tiebreaker against Alisal.

The Trojans finished their season last week.

So if Gilroy wins out with two games remaining, the Mustangs will clinch its best regular season mark in years, an outright league title and a top two seed into the Division V playoffs.

“We’ve been looking forward this part season for a long, long time now,” said coach Jubenal Rodriguez.

“The kids know what expect and they know what our expectations are once they hit the new season you call the playoffs. They know what to expect and that’s why we have to stay consistent with the mind-set stay week-toweek with our focus.”

In front of the Mustangs are North Monterey Country, who is 2-7 overall and 1-4 in league play.

“North Monterey County loves to pass the ball,” Rodriguez said.

“Their wide receivers run really crisp routes. If our defenders can pattern read, they should be OK. “Their quarterback is very quick and very fast.

He loves break contain so we have to make sure cover receivers and keep an eye in back field.”

Robert Eliason

Friendly finish

BLOCKING SCHEME Christopher quarterback Ben Sanford throws a pass as his line keeps the pocket clear.

Christopher will have a bye week because the regular season was pushed back to accommodate games

cancelled due to smoke.

Playoff seedings will be announced Nov. 12 and the playoffs will be set to begin Nov. 17.

WATER POLO

Gilroy rolls through MBL tournament

It has been seven seasons since a water polo team at Gilroy High School was able to lay claim to a league championship, but the drought is over.

After successfully completing the regular league season without a blemish, the Mustangs entered the league playoff as the No. 1 seed and with a huge target on their backs.

Focused on avoiding any kind of letdown, the girls from Gilroy eliminated Stevenson in the first round game, 18-4.

The Mustangs used a swarming defense that prevented its opponent from gaining any momentum.

The offensive standout in this game was Katelyn Brolin who lead the counter-attack and racked up seven goals. Erika Cates continued her scoring

A PERFECT TEAM Gilroy’s girls water polo team comes together after completing a win over Santa

Catalina Saturday to finish off a perfect Pacific Division run with a sweep of the MBL Tourney.

tear with four goals, followed by Ellie Pickford with three, Ashley Harding with two and Dillania

Barnett and Isabel Prieto with one each.

The win set up a rematch against Catalina,

with the winner going to CCS. Despite only being able to squeak out two one-goal

victories during the regular season, the ladies in blue thoroughly dominated from the opening whistle.

With two perfectly executed plays in the first two offensive sequences, each capped off by wicked shots out of the 2M spot by Cates, the Mustangs went ahead 2-0 just 50 seconds into the first stanza.

Employing a “fronting” strategy against last year’s sophomore of the year, GHS all but shut down any offensive threat their opponent had.

At the end of the first, Gilroy led 6-1 and extended the lead to 10-2 through three quarters.

Catalina scored two quick goals in the fourth, but the Mustangs regrouped and scored the next three unanswered goals and won 13-5.

The scoring was well rounded with Cates getting 4 goals, Brolin and Ashley Harding getting threegoals, D Barnett tossing in two goals and Pickford scoring once.

In addition, Cheyenne Cates made numerous big saves in the cage, but more importantly, stealing numerous passes inside, all but exhausting any fight left in the opponent.

The Mustangs completed their overall regular season with an 18-4 record, clearly the best in their history.

In addition to the new league champion banner for the GHS gymnasium wall, the Mustangs qualified for the CCS water polo tournament. The first game is slated for Saturday against Sobrato At Aptos.

Sobrato is 18-6 entering the game and will prove.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.
