A landscaping contractor who was passed over for work around Gilroy has told the city council it shouldn’t hire a company that doesn’t check the immigration status of its employees. Mike Carter, a representative from BrightView LLC, which had worked in the city for five years, took exception with the hiring practices of the soon-to-be new contractors in regards to immigration status. “There is no contract language that requires that a vendor’s employees be citizens of the United States and that will have an adverse effect on the people who use Gilroy parks,”

Sal protected wife, daughter PIZZERIA OWNER STABBED WHEN HE FENDS OFF ATTACKER AT GILROY BUSINESS By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

This year marks the 40th year in business in Gilroy for Sal Oliveri, owner of Pinnochio’s Pizza. It’s a year he will never forget. The year began with him nearly losing his life defending

his family from a knife-wielding homeless man. In an interview this week, the humble pizza maker, son of Sicilian immigrants, said he is hopeful the year will end better than it started. Ten days later, Sal and his family calmly reflected on that day, and described a scene of terror and bloody mayhem. On Jan. 6, during the Saturday evening dinner rush at his restaurant at Church and Welburn, a man rushed in waving a large knife. When he lunged at Sal’s daughter, Gina Oliveri Polhaupessy, Sal and

his son-in-law, Duke, leaped into action, pushing the man towards the door. They ended up on one of the tables, and the man swung the knife towards Sal’s throat. When Sal raised his arm to block the blow, the assailant slashed it with his knife, then fled the store, as Duke was able to lock the door. Gina was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher throughout the frightening fracas, and the attacker was arrested without incident a blocks away a few minutes later.

“There was blood everywhere,” said Sal. Gina said she at first wondered if her dad had lost his arm in the attack. The wound had cut to the bone in his forearm, Sal said. “It’s scary when there are customers here, and my family — you don’t want to see anything happen,” said Sal. His right arm has a brace and heavy bandage from his bicep to his fingers. He has use of his hand, but more surgeries lie ➝ Pinnochio, 2

Two deaths heighten influenza concern REPORTED FLU FATALITIES IN SAN BENITO PROMPT NEW WARNINGS FROM LOCAL OFFICIALS Staff Report

58015 02001

Two San Benito County residents have died due from an influenza virus, prompting new warnings from local public health officials. St. Louise Regional Hospital reported an increase in Emergency Department patients with “Influenza-like Illness,” said Pam Holmquist, Director of Infection Prevention. "However, the volume is manageable. Typically these patients are assessed, treated with antiviral medication, and sent home.”

“Influenza admissions into the hospital are not higher than a typical flu season." she said. Erring on the side of caution, St. Louise has restricted visitors to at least 16 years old and has asked visitors to steer clear of the hospital if they are not feeling well. In San Benito County, the news was grim. “We regretfully announce the deaths of two San Benito County residents associated with influenza virus infection,” Health Officer Dr. Gail Newel said this week. One individual was an adult under the age of 65 and the other individual was over 65. Both had other medical conditions, possibly increasing the risk of severe complications from the flu, Newell said. Although the vaccination status for these residents was not reported,

California state health officials report that “of the 27 influenza-associated deaths and 85 influenza-associated intensive care unit admissions in persons under 65 years of age for whom data were available, approximately 95 percent had at least one underlying medical condition and two-thirds were unvaccinated.” Influenza activity is increasing in San Benito County and throughout the state as indicated by disease surveillance data, Newell said. People at highest risk from severe complications from influenza infection include adults 65 years of age and older, children younger than 5, pregnant women, and those with certain medical conditions like asthma, heart disease, and weakened immune systems. Newel emphasized the importance of getting the flu shot. “It is not too late to get

vaccinated,” she said. “We encourage everyone six months of age and older to get vaccinated as soon as possible every flu season.” Public health officials also advise the following steps to protect from the flu, as well as from other respiratory illnesses: • Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue • If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth • Wash your hands often with soap and warm water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer • Stay home when you or family members are sick. Stay home until you have been symptomfree for at least 24 hours. For more information, go to https://hhsa.cosb.us/

City takes a look at homeless issue Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The stabbing of a Gilroy pizza restaurant earlier this month by a homeless man with a criminal record fueled a special public meeting this week with city officials to discuss issues with the city’s homeless population. The city hosted a special study session Wednesday evening at City Hall to study homelessness in the city hosted by Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee, and Gilroy Compassion Center Board Chair Jan Bernstein Chargin.

“Gilroy accounts for 2.5 percent of the population of Santa Clara County, yet we have 10 percent of the homeless population,” said Councilmember Dan Harney. “I think they come here because of the number of compassionate people and services they can get in Gilroy.” The stabbing of Pinocchio’s Pizza owner Sal Oliveri occurred Saturday, Jan. 6 around 5:30 pm. Oliveri suffered a deep cut into his arm as the business owner acted to defend his wife and daughter. The assailant waved what was reported by

Oliveri, 62, a large switchblade knife, long and hefty enough to cut deep through the tendons of his arm to the bone. The Gilroy Police Department was on the scene within minutes and arrested 57-year-old Mark Allmond of Virginia nearby. The next week, Gilroy Police arrested a second man who repeatedly had harassed the business by pounding on the glass and making threats. The identity of the second arrestee has not been released. “It was a very traumatic experience,” said Gina Oliveri

Polhaupessy, 29, Oliveri’s daughter, who witnessed the attack. “You feel very violated having someone come into your business like that.” “You’d be surprised how many of the homeless are from Gilroy,” Harney said. “There are a lot of second- or third-generation Gilroyans who are down on their luck and can’t afford to pay $2,000 or $3,000 a month in rent. I understand that, and I think that families from Gilroy should be our first priority.’ In Las Animas Park, in the dog park, on a normal weekend

afternoon, a congregation of homeless people rested along the stream. Many of them, in the estimation of many law enforcement officials, are out on the street due in part to the passage of Propositions 47 and 57. Proposition 47, passed in 2014 by almost 60 percent of the vote, reduced the nonviolent crimes, such as many drug offenses, to misdemeanors rather than felonies. In an interview in August, Smithee said that the latest count of homeless in Gilroy was 752.

Sal Oliveri shielded his family from attack Pinnochio, 1

Oliveris should be deported, after Vickie had declined to shake his hand a few moments before the attack. “I’m an American,” Vickie said he had shouted. “It wasn’t even a robbery,” said Sal, shaking his head. He grew up first in Detroit, and then Little Italy on New York’s Lower East Side — tough immigrant neighborhoods. But he said he never saw a crime like this. The Oliveris lived in Morgan Hill for 25 years — Gina graduated from Live Oak High — then moved back to Gilroy when they opened the Church Street location four years ago. Shortly after moving in, there northside home was burglarized. On the fateful Saturday, Jan.

6, “I was making pizza, then I heard the commotion.” he said. “When he came in the door, he opened his knife, then he starts jumping up and down. This guy — you don’t know what he’s going to do. He’s going to hurt someone,” Sal recalled. “When I saw the knife, I started to call 911, I just froze,” said Gina. “When I saw the knife, I thought, this is going to end up bad,” said Sal. “I was worried the customers were going to get hurt — my daughter, my wife. I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.” “My back was turned and he comes at me, and my dad and husband saw that he was coming at me,” said Gina. “The first thing in my mind

was I am not going to let her get hurt,” recalled Duke. “I don’t care what happens to me.” Duke escaped uninjured. The counter at the restaurant is filled with flowers and cards from neighbors, friends and customers. “This community, this community so great. People have been so great,” said Sal. Gina said Gilroy officers stopped by the day after the attack, to see how the family was doing. It is a family business. No employees. Just family. They treat their customers like family. And this month, their customers responded, words of encouragement, flowers — and of course with orders for the locally famous Oliveri pizza.

ahead before he knows whether he will regain full use of his arm to be able to throw pizza dough as he has for four decades. Sal’s wife, Vickie, is a Gilroy native. “I’m just glad he is alive,” she said. She said her mother lives a couple of blocks away, and saw the police cars outside the business. She couldn’t get past the barricades yellow tape. After Gilroy firefighter paramedics got an IV going, Sal was taken to St. Louise Regional Hospital. Gina and Vickie said the attacker had been angry and barely coherent, accusing the Italian-American family of being terrorists. He mentioned President Trump and said the

Why is Christopher Ranch defending garlic importer?

Going to have to watch this. Our food system is corrupt. Maybe you should not inter twine yourselfs with these sketchy companies. And how is garlic grown here taken to China to pill and sent back cheaper then just buying it from here? Misty Blythe Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page

Dear Editor: For all its good works in the Gilroy area and its protestations of integrity, it is odd that Christopher Ranch and the Fresh Garlic Producers Association, of which it is the principal member, have been parties in fighting my repeated requests for review of Harmoni Spice by the U.S. Department of Commerce. By all rights, they should be on the same side of the issue as my small New Mexico garlic farm. They too should be seeking to have Harmoni’s 13-year run of zero-duty garlic imports questioned and perhaps ended. Instead, year after year the Fresh Garlic Producers Association has withdrawn Harmoni from the review process, presumably because its members benefit from reselling cheap Harmoni garlic. For the year starting November 2015, Harmoni imported 43,000 metric tons of garlic valued at $170 million,according to a public filing with the Department of Commerce.

I have no idea how much Christopher Ranch and its allies might have contributed to the $10-$15 million that Harmoni’s three international law firms have likely spent questioning my standing as a garlic producer. Their efforts have succeeded in saving Harmoni over $200 million in anti-dumping duty for 2015, which they were liable for when they refused to respond to a Department of Commerce questionnaire in June 2016. U.S. Commerce Department officials reversed their decision on the basis of false allegations against me and my attorney in testimony paid for by Harmoni—a matter of public record. Nor do I have any idea why Christopher Ranch declined to be interviewed by the well-known Zero Point Zero production crew for the Netflix documentary episode, “Garlic Breath.”

In the fifteen years that I have known Marie Blankley, I have been very impressed with her integrity, knowledge and her passion for Gilroy. I like the idea of having a council member with her CPA background. Rhonda Callen Via Gilroy Dispatch Facebook page

An editor retires fter two busy years at the helm of Gilroy’s 150-year-old newspaper, Dispatch Editor Brad Kava has announced his retirement, effective with this issue. He’ll be able to spend more time chasing his young son on the California coast than chasing news tips and the occasional oddball story that he’s fond of. The veteran journalist, who lives in Aptos, leaves the paper with multi-millionword legacy of community-minded, socially aware reporting — in New York, Kansas City and his beloved California, where he was a journalist in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Valley before joining the Dispatch two years ago. He has left his mark on local newspapers not just through his writing and editorial leadership, but also as a teacher and mentor. For a number of years he has directed the journalism program at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz County, and his former students

can be found at publications throughout the Bay Area and Central Coast. Brad’s commitment to excellence and his determination in pursuing stories is legendary. He also is a fine photographer and excellent wordsmith. An innovator in the use of social media, his posts engage readers, provoke comments and foster discussions. Anyone who has had the good fortune to speak with Brad can attest to his honesty and empathy; like any good journalist, he is a patient listener. At the Dispatch and the other publications of New SV Media and Metro newspaper groups, we’ll miss his energy and good humor. We’ll continue to advance his commitment to local news, local communities and local newspaper readers. Brad also happens to be an accomplished blues harmonica player and avid cyclist — two activities he may be doing a little more in the days ahead. We wish him well.

Wipe Out Watch fights grime ANTI-GRAFFITI VOLUNTEERS LEAP INTO ACTION TO KEEP GILROY’S WALLS CLEAN By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Bryce Stoepfel

When a graffiti tagger strikes—such as the two who tagged the Gilroy Dispatch office around 5 pm on Tuesday with a crude pink stamp—grime fighters with the Gilroy Wipe Out Watch AntiGraffiti Program spring into action to erase what is left behind on public or private property. “I’ve been fighting grime for about five years now,” said Cindy Parks, a property manager with Bay Sierra Properties, who was on the scene in less than half-an-hour after she was called. “We want to wipe it out quickly before someone else tags the building. It gets competitive with them.” The Wipe Out Watch is a group of volunteers organized and supplied by the Gilroy Police Department who are committed to wiping out graffiti wherever it’s found. “We want to wipe it out as soon as we find it,” said Gilroy Police Officer

Rachel Muñoz, the city’s Graffiti Abatement Officer. “If it’s left on property too long, it can spark a tagging war. One tagger will notice a rival’s tag, then they’ll cross it out and add their own. It becomes a competitive crime.” Parks, who routinely takes care of the downtown came to the Dispatch office armed with a spray bottle full of paint thinner and a can of Goof Off graffiti remover. Within a minute or two, the tag was gone. “If it would have been from a gang I think it would have been much worse,” Parks said of the tag. “This one looks like a signature. A lot of them do it for the notoriety and some of them have minions who tag for them.” Wipe Out Watch was started in the early ‘90s by volunteers such as Al Galardi, who would patrol the streets in the early morning, seeking out graffiti and wiping it clean before the city’s other residents had started their days. “We call it community policing,” Muñoz said. “We have a core group of volunteers and they’re like a neighborhood watch. We work very closely with downtown businesses, the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce and other residents.

GRIME FIGHTER When the Gilroy Dispatch building was tagged Cindy Parks with the

Wipe Out Graffiti Watch Anti-Graffiti Program wipe out the evidence in a flash.

When a tag is too large for Parks or another WipeOut Meeting volunteer to remove, they report it to Munoz to have the tag removed. “A lot of times if you

see a big square on a wall where the color doesn’t match with the rest of the building—that’s probably where graffiti was painted over,” Parks said. “A lot of the alleys

get tagged a lot and I feel really bad for business owners who have their buildings regularly tagged. It really is a nuisance.” The Wipe Out Watch is

always looking for volunteers and will meet next on Feb., 7 at noon at the Gilroy Police Department Community Room. To report graffiti, call 408-846-0359.

If it’s left on property too long, it can spark a tagging war. One tagger will notice a rivals tag, then they’ll cross it out and add their own. It becomes a competitive crime. —GILROY POLICE OFFICER RACHEL MUÑOZ, THE CITY’S GRAFFITI ABATEMENT OFFICER

Love for food & travel becomes Instagram hit BREANN CHIERO AND CHRISTIAN MEDICE ARE HUNGRY HIPSTERS By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Contributed

How often do you say to yourself, “That is what I should be doing for a living.” ? For Breann Chiero and Christian Medice, co-founders of the Hungry Hipsters, a popular Instagram site with over 130,000 followers, they have found a way to turn their love of food, fashion and travel into part of their livelihood. Pretty cool, huh? “It’s a weird and twisted world,” Chiero, 29, said of building the Instagram account. “But, it’s fun.” Instagram, or Insta as the kids call it, is the uber-popular photo-sharing application that created mega-celebrities like Kim Kardashian. Users can share every major to the minuscule aspect of their lives, from food to their love lives and everything in-between. For the Hungry Hipsters, their habit of posting photos of their food while eating out turned into something much more significant. “We always took photos of our food on our own, which was starting to annoy our friends I think,” Chiero said. “Our personal Instagrams turned into lots of photos from what we were eating. So we created a foodstagram, which is what everyone was doing in New York.” Shortly after getting their lunch order at Cafe 152 Bread Company in Gilroy, Chiero set to work carefully staging her and Medice’s food for a new post. Every detail, to the fold of the paper lining of the lunch basket, was arranged with attentive care. It paid off. The picture Chiero took was crisp, colorful and made their lunch seem that much more desirable. The name, Hungry Hipsters, came largely by chance, but the

POST PERFECT Breann Chiero, who’s Hungry Hipster account on Instagram

has about 130,000 subscribers, arranges her lunch for a new post.

alliteration worked well, so they stuck with it. “At first we thought of using “Hungry Couple,” but that was already taken—but this one works out better anyway, we can get more people on our team this way,” Chiero said of how they came up with Hungry Hipsters. “Christian is more of a hipster than I am anyway.” While discussing the name, it begged the question—what exactly is a hipster? “It used to be about that whole Brooklyn scene,” Christian said. “Like flannel shirts, glasses, mustaches, beards.” “Trendy, but not trying to be trendy,” Chiero added. Chiero and Medice met in Brooklyn, the de facto capital of Hipsterdom, while Chiero was working in the fashion industry

and Medice worked as a music producer. Medice, who has worked with artists such as Pink, Halsey, Natasha Bedingfield and the band Lovely, moved along with Chiero to Los Angeles three months ago. “It’s such a hustle in New York and you’re always “keeping up with the Jones,” Chiero, who lives with Medice in North Hollywood said. “Los Angeles is much more spread out. I still love New York though and I have a trip planned already to back for a visit, so I’ll still get my New York fix.” It took almost two years for Chiero and Medice to reach 130,000 followers. Buoyed by reposts from other Foodstagram sites like Infatuation and Beautiful Cuisines, along with a feature story on Refinery 29

profiling the best Instagram food accounts, day-by-day their site grew by the hundreds to what it is today. It’s still growing, thanks to Chiero’s work as a social media content creator for major players in the fashion world. “Half of my job right now is content creation for a number of brands’ social media sites,” Chiero said. “The best arrangement I have is with the brand Forever 21. I create content for them on a monthly basis and in return, anything they use, they tag me in their posts and we get a lot of new followers in return.” As part of California Restaurant Month, Visit California, the non-profit state organization that boosts tourism, invited the Hungry Hipsters to Gilroy to help spread the word to the wider world about the

culinary offerings of the Garlic Capital of the World. Their stay in Gilroy was short. After spending a day in San Jose, the Hungry Hipsters came down to Gilroy Tuesday night for wine at the Stomping Grounds, followed by dinner at the Milias. The couple ate breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn, where they stayed and ended their 22 hours in Gilroy at Cafe 152 Bread Company. After Gilroy, the Hungry Hipsters took off for Yosemite, where they supped not only on food and drink, but the majesty of the National Parks nature. Not a bad day at the office for the techie trekkers. “I don’t think I’d ever want to do this as my solo job,” Chiero said. “I think that might take some of the fun out of it. We get to do what we love and for me, this is a passion for us.”

Just getting here and overcoming obstacles, it’s a blessing.” Bethany Community Church has given the award for over a decade. The event started out at the Forest Park Inn in Gilroy, but moved to Gavilan College and this week was hosted at San Juan Oaks Golf Club in Hollister.

Local leader Lovell “KC” Adams, a Gilroy business owner and youth coach in Hollister and Gilroy, and several students from the San Andreas Continuation School in Hollister was honored on Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 15 by Bethany Community Church at San Juan Oaks Golf Club in Hollister. Adams received the Martin Luther King Freedom award for his dedication and service to the community and schools. The students received certificates of completion of the Future Leaders with SWAG (Successful Winners Achieving Goals) taught by local attorney Elvira Zaragoza Robinson and Pastor Gerald E. Harris. “The reason why Lovell was selected was because we were looking for individuals that really

serve the role model of being as we call freedom fighters,” Harris said. “Fighter is a harsh word, but a freedom fighter is someone out there trying to liberate people from their incarceration, whether that’s in education or finance or opportunities.” Adams, who was born and raised at an orphanage in Gilroy, works with at-risk youth in athletics. He’s coached sports at numerous institutions including Gavilan College and Anchorpoint Christian School in GIlroy. He is currently the president of the Gilroy and Morgan Hill chapter of the 28-team National Junior Basketball Association. “I think it’s an honor just to be selected by that group,” Adams said. “This summer I was in Atlanta, I did a march with Martin Luther King Jr.’s son.

Company bid for landscape work was late Landscaping, 1 Carter said. “Currently a contractor’s employees only need to pass a background check to work in Gilroy parks, but there is no requirement that they are authorized to work in our country.” The city replaced the San Jose based-company with Alpine Landscapes of Gilroy and Jensen Landscaping of San Jose. The two contracts, both three years with two-year options, were awarded through a bidding process where the city weighed the cost and the firm's ability to perform the services, totaled $935,007 to Jensen Landscaping and $262,477 for Alpine Landscapes.

plant and tree care, weed and pest control, litter pick-up, irrigation maintenance and general seasonal maintenance like leaf removal. To support its growing population, Gilroy has expanded available parks and recreation areas for Gilroyans. The new sites include Cydney Casper Park next to Las Animas School, Village Green mini-park at Third Street and Santa Teresa Boulevard, the Traffic Circle at Third Street and Santa Teresa Boulevard along with several new areas for public use near Hecker Pass. In August 2017 the city advertised in the Gilroy

www.GilroyHyundai.com

Dispatch and the San Jose Mercury News a request for bids, which netted eight contractors who submitted formal proposals. The companies that submitted bids attended a mandatory half-day review meeting at the City Yard on October, 26 with a tour of city sites which followed. A selection committee held formal interviews on November 29 at City Hall. The city used six criteria to make its selection: the cost of service, the resources available to each contractor, safety records, the contractor's proximity to the city, the contractor's personnel expertise in performing similar jobs and

references. Following the review, the city determined that Jensen Landscape was the best choice for Gilroy. Owing to the expansion of the city's public lands according to documents available to the public on the city's website, the price of the contract rose from $734,048 in the previous agreement to $935,007 for the new contract. The city utilized the same bidding process when they selected Alpine Landscapes to service the Community Facilities District Parks & Landscape Maintenance areas, which are privately owned lands where landscaping costs are paid directly through property taxes.

that the company was late with its bid. The mistake was a costly one, indeed. “That’s true, we were late,” Carter said. “We had a young manager who did not give himself enough time or got stuck in traffic. We needed to have it in by 2pm and he didn’t make it until 2:06 pm.” After soliciting bids to service the city's 23 sound walls, medians and islands, the landscaping for eight city buildings, 15 parks, 11 downtown landscaping areas and 16 water facility sites the city decided that Jensen Landscape was the most qualified applicant to do the job.

Carter's argument regarding citizenship fell on deaf ear. City Attorney Andy Faber and City Administrator Gabe Gonzalez pointed out that employees of contractors are not city employees. Second, BrightView missed the deadline to to submit a bid and were thus not considered. “We felt that it was a matter of public safety, especially in parks where kids play and where people play sports and have parties,” Carter said. “If police officers and teachers are required to be U.S. citizens, should workers contracted with the city be citizens as well?” Carter did not dispute

He led the successful effort to ban fracking in San Benito County. “Robert Rivas served as a paid-call firefighter for over six years in San Benito County,” said Vince Grewohl, president of the Hollister Firefighters Association. “He was on the front lines, keeping our community safe.

Submitted

San Benito County Supervisor Robert Rivas has officially announced that he is entering the contest for the 30th District seat in the California Assembly, which includes the Salinas Valley and Big Sur, San Benito County, Watsonville, Gilroy and Morgan Hill. His campaign will focus on education, roads and protecting the environment, and he will continue his work to bring affordable housing and goodpaying jobs to the district. He also pledged to be a strong advocate for local farmers. “I am a lifelong resident of this region, and I will work tirelessly to make sure the 30th Assembly District has a strong advocate in Sacramento,” said Rivas, who pledged to be a strong advocate for every district resident. “We have

been fortunate to have a strong leader in Anna Caballero fighting for us. I will continue to work on the issues Anna has championed to improve the quality of life of everyone in our region.” Rivas is a native of San Benito County. His grandfather was a migrant farmworker, and Rivas was raised in farmworker housing near Hollister. He graduated from San Benito High School, and returned to the area after college to serve his community. Rivas has worked as a lecturer at Gavilan College, a paid call firefighter in Hollister, and in staff positions for Assemblymembers Simon Salinas and Anna Caballero. Since 2010, Rivas has served on the San Benito County Board of Supervisors. The current county supervisor will make improving roads and the regional transportation system a priority. “Traffic congestion diminishes our quality of life and pollutes our environment,” Rivas said. “We need urgent fixes for this issue.”

—HOLLISTER FIREFIGHTERS

California Public Utilities Commission Courtroom State Office Building 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 SUMMARY On June 30, 2016, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed its Phase II application in the 2017 General Rate Case (GRC) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This Evidentiary Hearing (EH) has been scheduled by the CPUC to review a subset of PG&E’s application, specifically including the following topics:

ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT VINCE GREWOHL

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

•

Information and data (including costs) needed to calculate a future request for a residential fixed charge

ACROSS

•

Concerns over differences between forecast and actual revenue for the agricultural customer class Master Meter Discount for eligible mobile home parks (other residential rate designs were settled)

1 Pitcher’s miscue

•

Rate design for a subset of commercial customers (storage rates for larger commercial and industrial customers as well as bill mitigation for oil-pumping customers)

•

Time-of-Use transition issues for certain public agency solar customers

Settlement agreements between PG&E and interested parties have been, or are being, finalized for most of the issues in this proceeding, and the CPUC may also discuss any or all such settlements during these evidentiary hearings. BACKGROUND In the original 2017 GRC Phase II application, PG&E requested approval from the CPUC to assign previously approved revenues (Phase I) and design electric rates across different customer classes. This proposal will more accurately align rates with the costs of providing electric service to customers, as well as simplify rates to make them easier to understand. HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT ME? Approval of PG&E’s original 2017 GRC application will result in an increase in rates for some customers and a decrease in rates for others. PG&E’s original GRC Phase II application proposed an increase of $0.5 million in annual revenues for costs incurred and recorded for real-time rate designs, which were proposed in prior rate design proceedings.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned Judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s proposal, modify it or deny it. Any of the five CPUC Commissioners may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a scheduled CPUC Voting Meeting.

Amgen Tour to boost tourism in May Michael Moore Reporter

The May 16 time trial stage of the Amgen Tour—set to take place in Morgan Hill’s downtown and through the rolling hills west of town—will undoubtedly turn Morgan Hill into a cycling fanatic’s paradise for the day, but city officials and tourism proponents hope the event and its broadcast all over the world will have a much longer lasting impact here.

The Amgen Tour of California is considered one of the most prestigious annual events in the cycling world—perhaps behind only the Tour de France. About 120 elite, professional cyclists from all over the world will compete in the seven-day, sevenstage (three stages for women) race that goes from Long Beach to Sacramento, with stops at various communities in between. “It has national and international attention,” Morgan Hill Economic Development Director Edith Ramirez told the city council at the Dec. 20 meeting. “The race (was) broadcast in over 200 countries, with 60 million viewers” in 2017. Thus the question of whether the City of Morgan Hill should shoulder up to $55,000 for local costs associated with the May 16 time trial and related activities seemed like a no-brainer for the council, which voted 5-0 to approve the expense Dec. 20. The Amgen Tour, which is owned by AEG, has not officially announced its final list of 2018 host cities, but is expected to do so in the coming weeks. Specifically, the city will spend up to $40,000 from the general fund on costs associated with road closures and traffic control along the 22-mile time trial course that starts and ends in downtown Morgan Hill. Amgen Tour host cities are all responsible for such costs, according to a city staff report. The city’s expenses will also include up to $15,000 for “marketing and branding” for the City of Morgan Hill, including the production of a 30-second commercial to be broadcast on national television during the May 16 time trial stage, according to city staff. Ramirez said while city staff and event promoters are hesitant to estimate an amount of sales and hotel tax revenues—and

other residual income—that could result from the Amgen Tour, it is possible that this economic benefit will more than offset the city’s costs. A large portion of this benefit will result from hundreds of hotel room stays—for which the city collects a 10 percent per night per room tax—for the time trial racers, their teams and spectators. The inconvenience to local residents is not lost on city officials, as the Amgen Tour “Stage 4” men’s time trial will require the full closure of the race route, which is expected to loop from downtown Morgan Hill south and westward into the unincorporated hills of Oak Glen Avenue and up to Bailey Avenue before coming back south along Hale Avenue. The time trial will start on the west side of Monterey Road at East Dunne Avenue, with the finish line at Monterey Road and Fourth Street. Councilmember Rene Spring noted that May 16 is a Wednesday, which is a normal workday for local residents who commute. The event will likely pose some inconvenience to those residents, Spring said. Ramirez noted that some roads along the route outside downtown won’t be closed during the day’s heavy commute hours, as the time trial is scheduled for 11am to 4pm. Road closures downtown will begin May 15 as Amgen Tour organizers set up for a Lifestyle Festival that will take place during the May 16 time trial. This festival will be hosted by Amgen Tour of California, and will feature several tents for sponsor products, hospitality and other cycling industry promotions. The festival will take place on Monterey Road between Main Avenue and Third Street. Although Spring is “not as confident” as Ramirez and others about the possible economic windfall from the Amgen Tour in Morgan Hill, he joined his council colleagues in supporting the May 16 host city designation. He also agreed with a suggestion from an audience member to organize a less formal bicycle ride along the time trial route in the days before the Amgen Tour, which could serve as a fundraiser for local organizations and a promotion for the May 16 race.

TOUR DE TOURISM Cyclists ride along Chesbro Reservoir on Oak Glen Avenue in Morgan Hill in

February 2015. This stretch of Oak Glen Avenue is part of the proposed “Stage 4” time trial route for the Amgen Tour of California, which will take place May 16 in Morgan Hill.

“Maybe companies like Specialized (Bicycle Components, based in Morgan Hill) and some organizations in favor of this will donate some money to offset the costs,” Spring added. The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Association offered their enthusiastic support for bringing the Amgen Tour to town, citing the revenues coming directly from the presence of hundreds of professional athletes and their road crews, as well as potentially thousands of spectators during the event. These organizations are also excited about the worldwide exposure that Morgan Hill will gain as the Amgen Tour is broadcast on live international television.

Sharing the road

Proponents note that time trials are vastly more spectator-friendly than other stages of a race such as the Amgen Tour, as the event lasts all afternoon in one location rather than quickly passing through the area. During a time trial, individual cyclists start out one

at a time, staggered throughout the late morning and afternoon about two minutes apart.

The City of Solvang, in Santa Barbara County, hosted an Amgen Tour time trial from 2008 to 2011. Solvang City Manager Brad Vidro said the overall impact on the community was positive, especially over the long term. Solvang gained repeated media exposure as well as the presence of teams training along the route in the weeks leading up to the Amgen Tour, Vidro said. He cited hotel taxes and food sales among the big money makers for Solvang. “In the longer term, you get that exposure,” Vidro said. “The spectators…want to come see the area. We think that went on for years later.” Solvang also organized a “ride the route” promotion before the official event each year, for which individual riders paid $800 or more to participate. These efforts went to directly offset the City of Solvang’s costs for being an Amgen Tour host city.

Vidro said he couldn’t place a specific dollar value on the Amgen Tour’s impact on Solvang. The city, which has a population of about 5,400, stopped hosting the Amgen Tour in 2011 because the immediate costs for road closure and traffic control grew prohibitive. He also acknowledged, “A lot of the locals didn’t like it so much because we were blocking roads, impeding access. With a time trial, you’ve got to completely close the loop” to vehicle traffic. Cities in California along the Amgen Tour route typically compete to host a stage or time trial during the event, Ramirez said. In Morgan Hill, however, the City of San Jose and the San Jose Sports Authority offered to co-host the May 16 time trial with Morgan Hill. City staff said they have already notified the school district about potential traffic disruptions associated with the Amgen Tour, and will begin getting the word out to local residents and businesses immediately.

SPORTS WRESTLING

Final Push Josh Miller

SKILL AND HEART Gilroy High senior Nic Aguilar is a three-time Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division champion and two-time finalist in the CIF State Championships. Aguilar, who has a scholarship to wrestle at Rutgers University, plans on finishing his prep career with a state title.

MUSTANGS SENIOR NIC AGUILAR ON A MISSION emanuel lee Sports Editor

Aguilar is not planning on experiencing heartbreak again in the state championships. “It was a tough match. I turned him at the very end, and it looked like I had a pin, but the ref didn’t call it,” he said. “There was a lot of emotions, the crowd is screaming and I’m thinking I’m about to win. You feel like you have the state title and it slips out of your fingers. It’s kind of humbling, to be honest. All the hard work I put in to take second humbles me.” Aguilar didn’t take any time off after the state tournament final loss. Rather, he started an off-season strength-training program to add muscle in preparation for college wrestling, where the lowest weight class at the Division I level is 125 pounds. “I was also focused on getting that state title,” he said. Aguilar tries to accumulate takedowns in the first period, setting him up for success when he’s on top position, where he’ll often turn his opponents.

Josh Miller

Nic Aguilar knows what it’s like to have a state championship within his grasp—literally—only to have it slip away. In last year’s 113-pound title match in the CIF State Championships, Aguilar had Jesse Vasquez of St. John Bosco’s on his back only to run out of time, resulting in an excruciating 6-5 loss. A three-time Monterey Bay League and Central Coast Section champion and two-time state finalist, Aguilar doesn’t plan on being denied again. The Gilroy High senior has flat-out dominated most of his opponents this season, having suffered just two losses—both to

nationally-ranked wrestlers. Aguilar lost in the finals of the Doc Buchanan Tournament and placed third in last week’s tournament at Temecula Valley High. Other than that, Aguilar has been on a mission to improve his skills and make sure he closes out his high school career with a state championship in Bakersfield in March. Last year’s state title loss, while tough, made Aguilar examine every aspect of his skill set and mental game. “That loss showed me what I needed to work on and improve on so I can dominate more,” said Aguilar, who has a scholarship to wrestle at Rutgers University. “I need to work on things like my game plan and getting the offense going more. The focus is wrestling without fear, pushing the pace and getting ready for college matches.” Aguilar’s focus, determination and work ethic has always been evident, and he prides himself on being mentally tough.

READY TO STRIKE Mustangs senior Nic Aguilar has had another

standout season, capturing victories at national tournaments.

Aguilar is adept at scoring points in a variety of ways. One of Aguilar’s biggest wins of his career came in last year’s CIF State Championships, when he edged top seed Matthew

Olguin of Buchanan 1-0 in the semifinals. It was sweet redemption for Aguilar who lost to Olguin in the 2016 state championship match. ➝ Aguilar, page 21

secret that she is our MVP so far this season.” But Christopher is far from a one player team. Jackie Sanchez, a junior center back, has been one of the team’s most reliable players. The stability was needed early in the season when the Cougars endured a bit of a rough patch playing some of the premier teams in the section. “She was somebody no matter what the situation was and even in our worst games was a standout player in the back for us this year.” Freshman Jordan Anaya has been precocious in her play as the goalkeeper.

The Christopher High girls soccer team showed plenty of promise in a 2016-2017 season that concluded with a 1-0 loss to eventual Central Coast Section Division I co-champion Santa Clara in the opening round. A season later, the Cougars are expected to live up to soaring expectations after they returned their entire startling lineup— a rarity in high school sports— from last year’s squad. Christopher plans on making history this season, as the

girls soccer team has never won the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division. “We’ve made it very clear that our goal is to win the Gabilan Division,” said Cougars coach Matt Oetinger, whose team entered Wednesday’s match against Gilroy at 6-4-1 overall and 3-1-0 in division action. “We think it is an attainable goal. Beyond that, going deeper into CCS is also goal, and quite frankly, winning CCS is a goal.” It’s no secret that everything starts and begins with Aurea Martin, a brilliant junior striker who scored five of the team’s first six goals in league play, including a hat trick in a 4-0 win over San Benito on Jan. 10. “She is an extremely high level player, and we are lucky to have her in our program,” Oetinger said. “It’s not much of a

three losses were to strong squads, and Oetigner purposely scheduled tough teams for the sole purpose of preparing the Cougars for league and CCS. “It was to challenge the team and our level of play,” Oetigner said. “Even though we returned our starting lineup, everyone doesn’t come back exactly as they left. There was a process we had to work through, and a lot of that was worked through in the preseason (non-league). We’re still working through it, but we’ll get to where we want to be.” Christopher had arguably its worst game of the season in a 4-0 loss to Salinas on Jan. 5, the team it is tied with atop the Gabilan Division standings. However, the Cougars are confident they’ll win the rematch on Jan. 31, a match that will go a long way in determining the division champion. “We clearly hope that Salinas game was an aberration,” Oetinger said. “I think when we see them again at home, we stand a significant chance of winning that game.”

think she has worked past it—is the social aspect,” Oetinger said. “There is that social aspect of, “Geez, I’m a freshman and I shouldn’t be telling sophomores and juniors where they should be going.’ But that’s exactly what she should be doing. She wasn’t comfortable at first, but she’s worked through it and we’re a better team for it. We’re lucky to have her for four more years.” Juniors Natalie Smith and junior Allie Echauri have been ultra dependable players as center midfielders. Oetigner raved about their skill level, high work rates and fitness level that allow them to play strong all match long. Isabel Schween, a senior center back, has earned a scholarship to compete at Texas A&M—in equestrian. Clearly a unique talent, Schween has given the team plenty of energy and skill on the pitch. Christopher opened the season with losses to Notre Dame-Belmont and Homestead, and a couple of weeks later suffered a 3-0 defeat to Live Oak. All

BREAKING AWAY Cougars junior Aurea Martin gets by the San Benito High defense for a goal in a 4-0 win on Jan. 10. It’s also likely the Cougars could reign supreme atop the Gabilan not just this year but next season as well, as they graduate only four seniors off this year’s squad.

“We’ve got an extremely talented sophomore and junior class in the hopper right now,” Oetigner said. “Add the freshmen and seniors who are also

contributing at a high level, and hopefully that is a good equation for us moving forward.” One of the key pieces is Martin—look for a

profile on Martin in a future Dispatch edition— a dynamic and talented player who can alter the outcome of a game with one pass or shot.

Aguilar pursuing state championship ➝ From page 20

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Aguilar will be in the thick of things to compete for another state championship. At the top level, Aguilar knows it’s not about the physical aspect of the sport; it’s

about the mental game. “I push myself as hard as I can past breaking points,” he said. “It’s going to come down to how hard I’ve worked throughout the year. Toward the end of the season, when it’s CCS and state time, the

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 17-48421. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
