The Gilroy City Council appointed Marie Blankley to an open council seat at Monday’s regular meeting. Council members voted earlier this month to appoint a person to the council to replace Paul Kloecker, who died in December. The new city council member was interviewed alongside three others: Planning Commissioner Tom Fischer, local architect Reid Lerner, and Amanda Rudeen, a stay at home mother with a background in finance

On the northern part of San Benito County near Highway 101 at McAlpine Lake Campground, the tents of Almost Home offer as a stark contrast to the homeless encampments that pop up along the South Valley’s railroads and waterways. The privately funded camp site represents a new and progressive way to temporarily give homeless people a safe place to stay.
Matt Schultz is one of four who stay at McAlpine these days. Inside Schultz’s tent, he has a mattress with a box spring, a heavy-duty sleeping bag. The tent itself is sheltered by a canopy and in front, serving as a kitchen/ living room a campground picnic table has a place for his small propane stove. “It’s safe and it has everything I need,” Schultz said. “There’s a place for me to shower and I don’t have to worry about my things being stolen.” Almost Home is an entirely privately funded program managed by Dee Pearse, Program Manager for the Gilroy Compassion Center. During the
peak season for Almost Home, typically the warmer months while temporary shelters like the Armory are open, the number of participants ranges up to about 15. During colder months, the outdoor tent population drops to about four. This is in sharp contrast to the dozens of illegal temporary campsites that spring up around Gilroy. At one of these encampments visited last week is along Uvas Creek, a cluster of three tents lay nearby a chain link fence with a part rolled back to allow access to the area. The people camping here say they live in constant fear of being red-tagged, an official warning that is supposed
to give them a three-day notice to vacate the area or risk having their possessions thrown away. According to them, this does not always happen. “They need to be on their toes at that time,” Pearse said. “They need to have their stuff ready to move early in the morning, they need to vacate and they need to sit somewhere until the evening until they can come back. If the water district gets there and they’re not prepared, we have people who lose everything they have. They lose their IDs and their prescription pills.” “I just had a client who got ➝ Camps, 17

Due to an interest rate cut on its bond refinancing, Gavilan Joint Community College District has reduced the amount district taxpayers must repay for Measure E funds. Gavilan College refinanced $27,115,000 of Measure E general obligation bonds (Series A
and D) approved by district voters in 2004, decreasing payments by over $9.1 million. The interest rate of the new bonds is lower, down to 2.78 percent from an average of 5.68 percent. “We’re always looking for ways to save taxpayer dollars while continuing to improve the quality of higher education for our students,” said Laura Perry, president of Gavilan’s Board of Trustees. “The district’s taxpayers supported these bonds when

we needed it, and we’re proud to pass along these savings to them.” In 2015, Gavilan refinanced its 2004 Series C bonds, resulting in $3.5 million in savings. The two refinancings have reduced the payback by more than $12.6 million. Dale Scott & Company served as the financial advisor to help the district refinance the bonds and take advantage of lower interest rates while shortening the payback period, according to a press release.
“This refinancing helps our community take a large step forward in our ongoing efforts to responsibly manage our finances,” Gavilan President Kathleen Rose said. The 2004 voter-approved bond measure provided funds to upgrade outdated plumbing and wiring, renovate aging classrooms and libraries, provide access for disabled students, improve campus safety and plan for the future by expanding satellite sites, according to Gavilan staff.

according to Renggli. “It hurts me that we don’t have much support from previous Gilroy relayers,” Thomas said. “I understand it is hard for some of the Gilroy teams to accept that we have merged. However, Morgan Hill is 12 minutes away. I don’t relay for the location. I relay for the cause.” Thomas has asked former relayers to attend the kickoff meeting “with an open mind” and continue to support the cancer society.. In 2017, the Morgan Hill Relay raised more than $100,000, when the event washeld at Morgan Hill Community Park, and has raised $1.1 million since its inception. The Gilroy Relay has eclipsed $2 million overall in its local fundraising event, which was held at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy. Early in 2018, there are 25 teams signed up with 67 total participants for the inaugural Relay For Life of South County. The early squads have combined to generate $4,235. Those interested in forming a team or joining one should contact Nick Pauliukonis at (925) 922-9923 to get started. “Let’s all relay for the cause. We welcome everyone from the Gilroy and Morgan Hill communities,” Thomas said.

With the American Cancer Society pushing for more regional fundraising efforts, local organizers of the annual Relay For Life from Morgan Hill and Gilroy have combined their resources and developed the inaugural Relay For Life of South County. “Some people go to both Relays, some people bounce between them year over year, so it is nice that we have an opportunity to create a larger relay community,” said Val Renggli, the marketing chair for the 2018 Relay for Life who is a past lead organizer for the Morgan Hill event. The kickoff event is scheduled from 5pm to 8pm Feb. 1 at Old City Hall Restaurant, 7400 Monterey Road in Gilroy. Attendees will learn about this year’s event and how they can make a difference; meet the event leadership team; and find out what it takes to form or join a team. Separately, the two area relay events have raised millions of dollars in recent years for cancer research. With their efforts combined, organizers are looking forward to even more success.
“I think it was a wonderful idea to merge with Morgan Hill. The organizational meetings have gone well,” said Sabrina Thomas, this year’s event co-leader who has been involved with the Gilroy Relay for the last three years. This year’s Relay For Life of South County (RelayForLife.org/ SouthCountyCA), the American Cancer Society’s largest annual fundraiser that encompasses communities throughout the nation raising money to help with cancer research, will be held from 10am May 19 to 10am May 20 at the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Complex, 16500 Condit Road in Morgan Hill. “I’m thrilled that our communities are coming together,” said Renggli. “I feel like there is going to be a great cross section of families and businesses that will help make our Relay a fantastic event.” While Renggli said the change has been well-received by Morgan Hill participants, Thomas noted she’s experienced some pushback from Gilroy participants who have learned about the relay taking place at an out-of-town venue. Nonetheless, the organizers of the relays are following the directives put forth by ACS this year to streamline the charitable enterprise,
In an effort to increase qualified teaching candidates, the Santa Clara County Office of Education will host a “Step into Teaching: Opportunities in Silicon Valley Public Schools” event 9am to 1pm Feb.10 at 1290 Ridder Park Drive in San Jose. During the Saturday event, attendees will learn what is needed to become a teacher, how to navigate the credentialing process and receive information about compensation, benefits and retirement. “Step into Teaching” will also provide networking opportunities with potential employers and the chance to interact with classroom educators and experts from Santa Clara University, San José State University, National University, UC Santa Cruz and the Santa Clara County
Office of Education’s EPIC program. “Teaching is a wonderful profession with challenges—but also great rewards,” Interim County Superintendent of Schools Mary Ann Dewan said. “Teachers have the opportunity to have a profound positive impact in a young person’s life and influence future generations.” According to the California Department of Education, enrollment in California’s teacher preparation programs fell from more than 700,000 during the 2008–09 school year to less than 500,000 in 2012–13. In 2014–15, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing issued 15,000 credentials, while the California Department of Education projected the need for California schools to hire 22,000 teachers. “Step into Teaching” is designed for individuals
with or who are completing their bachelor’s degree, business professionals with an interest in teaching and classified school employees looking to transition into certificated positions. Registration is open through Feb. 7. For more information, contact Michelle Fine at michelle_fine@sccoe.org. The event is part of a multi-pronged approach developed by a coalition of community organizations to address the looming teacher shortage. Members of the group include SCCOE, local school districts, San Jose State University, University of California – Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce and Santa Clara County School Boards Association.

County recognizes local groups for cleanup COMMENDATIONS GIVEN TO GROUPS IN SAN MARTIN FOR ‘TRASH BASH’ JOINT EFFORTS Staff report
The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors this week presented commendations to members of the San Martin Neighborhood Alliance, the San Martin Chamber of Commerce and Greenwaste Recovery, Inc. for their joint efforts in hosting the November 2017 Trash Bash event in San Martin. Supervisor Mike Wasserman presented plaques to each organization’s representative with words of acknowledgement and praise for the cleanup the volunteers completed in South County. In 2015, the San Martin alliance began looking at ways to address the increased trash and graffiti within San Martin, according to organizers. Alliance members, community volunteers and
other organizations, such as the Sheriff’s Association, began holding cleanup events in San Martin. With the added collaboration and support from the newly formed San Martin Chamber of Commerce, the Trash Bash event Nov. 11, 2017 was a community success, according to organizers. Collaboration efforts will continue with cleanup events in San Martin scheduled for each spring and fall. “SMNA is committed to increasing the number of volunteers and working closely with Supervisor Wasserman’s Office, Greenwaste Recovery and the San Martin Chamber of Commerce,” said President Trina Hineser. “SMNA has extended an invitation to the Santa Clara Valley Water District to participate in the Trash Bash events to achieve cleanup efforts in the creeks that flow through San Martin.” The next Trash Bash community event is tentatively scheduled from 9am to noon March 24 at the Sig Sanchez County Building in San Martin.

Council interviews four applicants for seat Council, 1 who said she moved to the city in 2015. Fischer and Lerner both ran for city council positions during the 2016 General Election. Council members asked all four applicants a series of questions that included their thoughts on how to create more local jobs, homelessness, the
Alexander Street Station apartments, and last year’s failure to obtain a commitment from the Great Wolf Lodge development. “One of the things the city is currently going through is a period of growth,” Councilman Peter LeroeMunoz said. “How would you see Gilroy growing and in particular is there a need for additional housing?”
“Gilroy can’t survive as a bedroom community,” Blankley responded. “We need to get some economic development down here and get some jobs here, but then we need housing that can accomodate all those different levels. That’s what is going to help us change our image from being largely a commuter
town, which is how I think we’re perceived.” “We shouldn’t be perceived that way, it doesn’t help us get the businesses down here that we need,” she said. ”We need to address housing at all levels of affordability for people who can work in Gilroy and live here, as opposed to just live here.”
Blankley, a Certified Public Accountant and longtime Gilroy resident, will fill the appointment for only 10 months because the seat is up for reelection in November. While she has indicated she intends to run in the 2018 General Election, Fischer and Lerner have also voiced interest in running campaigns.

OPINION California schools are underfunded compared to U.S.
Businesses are in middle of potential ICE squeeze
T
he stories began flying last week: Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would raid businesses across California and deport undocumented workers. As of this newspaper’s press time, the raids had not started, but the specter remains. Heightened anxiety about federal immigration policies has already intensified at the ground level of the nation’s biggest economy earlier this month. A new state law, passed in 2016, went into effect Jan. 1. It makes it a crime for business owners and managers to cooperate with ICE in certain circumstances. Rumors of pending ICE raids prompted our outspoken Attorney General Xavier Becerra to warn California employers last week that he wouldn’t hesitate to hit businesses with fines up to $10,000 if they assisted ICE in violation of the new state Immigrant Worker Protection Act. “It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know – more specifically, employers – that if they voluntarily start giving up information about their employees or access to their employees in ways that contradict our new California laws, they subject themselves to actions by my office,” Becerra said. This followed a warning earlier this month from President Trump’s acting director of ICE, Thomas Homan, via Fox News that “California better hold on tight... If the politicians in California don’t want to protect their communities, then ICE will.” A Republican candidate for California governor, Travis Allen, said last week that employers should help federal authorities conducting immigration raids and defy the law that went into effect Jan.1. He said federal officials should consider bringing charges of their own against the attorney general. The new state law: • Requires employers to ask immigration agents for a warrant before granting access to a worksite • Prevents employers from voluntarily
sharing confidential employee information without a subpoena • Requires employers to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records • Gives the attorney general and labor commissioner exclusive authority to enforce new provisions of state labor laws • Prohibits employers from reverifying information on employment verification forms, unless compelled to by federal law. Employers must inform employees of potential lawful ICE raids 72 hours in advance, under the new law. The new law, combined with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and Becerra’s aggressive stance, leaves business owners and their managers unprotected on the front lines of a pitched national immigration battle. Becerra apparently is willing to let the men and women behind the counters and in other workplace settings slowly twist in the breeze, uninformed and unprotected by their state with orders to face off against the intimidating presence of armed federal ICE agents. This heavy-handed confrontational approach by both California and the federal government hurts our most vulnerable businesses and their managers, as this latest immigration enforcement spectacle plays out. Of course there is a larger context: cannabis laws, offshore drilling, solar tariffs, sanctuary cities, pesticide safeguards, student loans, abortion rights, net neutrality and immigration policies are just some of the federal-state flashpoints that seem so clearly directed at us, the biggest and most blue state. Rights of our immigrant workers must be protected, but our small business owners and managers also deserve support and guidance from state officials, instead of threats. To state and federal agencies: These battle lines should be drawn in courtrooms, not in our neighborhood businesses, or our communities will become collateral damage in the immigration wars.

At its Jan.17 meeting, the Santa Clara County Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution for full and fair funding for California Public Schools by state lawmakers. The resolution highlights California’s poor national standing in funding for public schools. California ranks 45th nationally in the percentage of taxable income spent on education, 41st in per-pupil funding, 45th in pupil–teacher ratios and 48th in pupil–staff ratios. California funds schools at roughly $1,961 per student, less than the national average, which translates to approximately $3,462 per student when adjusted for California being a high-cost state. In addition, California trails the average of the top 10 states by almost $7,000 in per-pupil funding. While Governor Brown’s recent budget proposal continues his commitment to the Local Control Funding Formula and provides an increase in education funding, it does not address the significant underfunding of public schools in the state. In 2016, a California School Boards Association (CSBA) report, California’s Challenge: Adequately Funding Education in the 21st Century, estimated an additional $22 billion to $40 billion annually would be required to provide all public school students with access to a high-quality education. “As the leader of an organization that values diversity and equity and is committed to high-quality educational opportunities for all youth, I am heartened that the governor’s proposal begins to address the varied needs of our students in Santa Clara County,” said Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, Interim Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools. “More work is needed to ensure equitable funding for districts identified for improvement under the accountability plan, marginalized students, and special education programs. I look forward to working with our legislative representatives to develop a budget that fully meets the needs of California students.” The Santa Clara County Office of Education provides direct services to 1,528 students with disabilities from birth to age 22. The office also acts as Local Education Agency for 28,691 students and provides early learning services to 2,381 students. However, its primary role is to support students, teachers, and school districts in Santa Clara County. “We know that many of our school districts are struggling with the lack of appropriate funding to meet the diverse needs of students, recruit and retain high-quality staff, and provide a world-class education to Santa Clara County students,” commented Rosemary Kamei, President of the Santa Clara County Board of Education. “We must not let our students and schools fall further behind national counterparts when it comes to funding our public schools.” Budget negotiations will be ongoing in the Legislature throughout the spring, leading up to the May budget revision, which will be released on or before May 15. The Legislature will then have until June 15 to send the final agreed upon budget to Governor Brown, who will have until July 1 to sign it. Santa Clara County Board of Education

O
tmar Otto Silberstein passed away on December 15, 2017 at the age of 96. Born in Graz, Austria, he came to the United States in 1939 with nothing more than the suit he wore and four dollars. After serving in the US Army in World War II, he married his lifelong partner, Natasha, and earned an MS from Michigan State in horticulture. He continued his education at Cornell and was awarded a PhD. His career as a food scientist brought him to Gilroy in 1963 where he directed the R&D lab at Gilroy Foods for many years. Before retiring he worked at the McCormick Co. headquarters in Baltimore as Director of Exploratory Technology. In retirement Otto became passionate about hydroponics. As a member of the Hydroponic Society of America, he promoted teaching of hydroponics at all levels of school, making contact with educators across the country. Otto was admired and respected for his thoroughness, persistence and integrity by scientific and business associates. Family and friends appreciated his sense of humor, generosity and warm-heartedness. He loved classical music, traveling, telling stories, and poppy seed strudel. Otto truly enjoyed his work, and was a mentor to many people who worked with or for him. He developed an interest in genealogy, exploring potential connections with Silbersteins in the US as well as countries such as Brazil and Australia. To relax, he enjoyed playing Scrabble, chess, cribbage and ping-pong. Otto is survived by a son, Robert, a granddaughter, Raina, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife of 68 years, Natasha, as well as their son David. A celebration of his life will take place at the Longhouse Restaurant in Gilroy on Saturday, February 3, 2018 from 2:00 to 4:00pm. Donations in Otto’s name may be made to the International Rescue Committee (rescue.org).

New brew pub is open on Monterey BEER IS ON TAP, MORE TO COME Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
Good news beer lovers, the Golden State Brew and Grill has officially opened and they’re already pouring their suds for thirsty Gilroyans. Owner/brewer Seth Hendrickson and owner/ contractor Kirill Egorov had hustled this month, working 12-plus hours per day as they sped to the finish line with the goal to open as soon as they could to complete the first phase of their brewing enterprise. “All day and all night,” said Hendrickson on the frenetic pace needed to open for business. “With projects like this you tend to do a lot of work, then wait, you do some more work and you wait some more. But in the end, everybody needed to come together to get the place opened.” With 24 taps, 16 of their own brews, a handful of sours and ciders along with a few guest beers, one of their most well-known beers is the 3-Way. Watch out though; it packs a punch. “It’s a triple New England-style IPA,” Hendrickson said. “It’s a very hazy and it has a big mouth but very low bitterness. People are going nuts for it. It’s a 10-percent
beer, but it’s a sneaky 10 percent.” Although they opened for business Jan. 18, the construction is not complete. The next phase includes opening a full kitchen, complete with restaurant seating along with a full seven-tank brewing operation that allows guests a plain view of the brewers at work. “Right now we’re a little limited as to what we can do for food because of the permitting, so a lot of what we’re doing is premade,” said Head Chef Michelle, Mish, Goulart. “We’re doing a lot of paninis, Cubano Grilled Cheese and Caprese. We’re working with Sumano Bread and it’s going to be cool to find out what breads work best. It’s exciting to explore what ingredients Gilroy has to offer; I’m tossing garlic in as many things as possible.” Another draw for Golden State Brew and Grill, 7560 Monterey St, will be the outdoor seating. The “parklet,” which is secured by iron posts and just out slightly onto Monterey Street will have table service and is equipped with heaters for night time comfort. The whole process took a lot of time and effort but it seems that Gilroy is ready to drink. “At 4:45 on Thursday, as soon as we got everything
HAPPY BREW YEAR From left, Kirill Egorov, Stephanie Hendrickson, Seth Hendrickson and
Michelle Goulart rushed to get Golden State Brew and Grill up and running
signed, off we opened the doors,” Hendrickson said. “We had about 50 people meander on in without us announcing anything. This downtown really wants something like this here.” While work on the restaurant seating is still a work in progress, a
temporary wall separates the sections. When all work is completed, Golden State Brew and Grill will seat 295 people. “It’s going to be a full restaurant with burgers, pizza and the whole nine yards,” Hendrickson said. “We’re going to keep out
tanks in Santa Clara, but you’ll be able to sit at the bar and you can see people brew. That’s the way we want to do it; we don’t want to hide stuff. We want you to see the tanks, see the people working and smell beer when you walk in.”
While beer is a signature part of Golden State Brew and Grill, wine lovers won’t be left out in the cold. A selection of Chardonnay, Cabernet and sparkling wine from Gilroy wineries are available priced approximately at $30 per bottle.

Kudos to the Renewal by Andersen team. Everyone was very professional and very willing to answer all my questions. The installers, Alex and Roman, put down plastic sheets to protect my carpet and vacuumed when the work was completed—everything neat and clean. My patio door and windows are beautiful, and I look forward to replacing the rest of my windows in the near future. – Dianne W., Renewal by Andersen customer, Vallejo, CA

Gilroyans without homes tell their stories LIVING ON THE STREET IN CITY By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Who are the Gilroyans some have labeled “the homeless?” They are young, and they are old. They are full of hope, and they are lost in despair. They have dignity and determination to battle for self-betterment and permanent housing for themselves and their families, and they have all but given up and struggle to only live day to day. These are some of their stories.
Mary
Odman
Another, a man who calls himself Odman, among other pseudonyms, is short and skinny. He has thick, wavy jet black hair and he’s heavily tattooed, defiant and street-tough. He’s also a longtime Gilroyan who describes himself as a heavy drinker who has been on the streets for almost 20 years. “Hell yes I’m a drinker, I was drinking today,” said Odman, 40, with breath pungent with what smelled like liquor. “I only have half a foot, want to see? I got hit by a car but I was so drunk that I didn’t get it looked at until 15 hours later. I didn’t even feel it. I just went and got more drunk. For months I used a skateboard to get around. My brother was like, ‘Well you were a skateboarder anyway.’ So I would just sit on it and roll around.” A graduate of Gilroy High
School who has an 18-year-old daughter he rarely sees, Odman doesn’t hide who he is or why he’s on the streets. “I did them myself,” Odman said of his tattoos. “This one here (pointing to a tattoo on his wrist which reads, 5150), ‘criminally insane.’” This one and this one, (pointing to his left inner bicep, then his right inner bicep), ‘self,’ ‘inflicted,’ it says.”
Debbie and Richard
Debbie and Richard, native Gilroyans with two kids, a son aged 18 and a daughter, 16, lost their home in July when the owner of the home they rented sold the house and the new landlord raised the rent from $1,800 to $2,400. For now, they’re staying at the Ochoa Migrant Camp, which is open to homeless families from Late November until the end of March while the migrant families are away. “I used to work driving a truck for a porta-potty business but I lost that job in 2011,” Richard, 47 said. “I’ve had three heart attacks, four stents, type-2 diabetes, an arthritic neck and two degenerative knees. It’s a struggle, but I pray every day and every week I go to mass at St. Mary’s.” For now, they are comfortable at Ochoa Camp. They have food provided and the living conditions are comfortable at the moment. On March 31, when Ochoa Camp is again open for migrant worker families, it will be closed to the homeless. Even though Debbie works at a Taco Bell, the income is far shy of what they would need to move into a new apartment.

On Monday morning, as the sky still hung heavy with rain clouds, Mary Gracia checked out of a hotel room paid for four nights by the Compassion Center. Gracia sat in her wheelchair, picking at the meal provided. She is thin and frail, resembling a woman thirty years older than her 52 hard-loved years on earth. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Gracia said between sobs. “I don’t know where I’ll be tonight. Probably by Stubby’s or the 7-11. I just want a place so bad. A shack, a shed. Anything.” Life has been hard for Gracia. She has been homeless since 1999, after suffering from years of abuse, drug addiction and a series of worsening tragedies. Her health has steadily and severely declined during her years of homelessness. A bone infection and the ensuing surgical complications have left Gracia mostly dependent upon her wheelchair. “I’ve had a very hard life; I was abused, then my son died a couple years ago after he was hit by two cars,” Gracia said. “A couple of years ago something broke loose from above my tent and fell on me. I couldn’t move
and it took days for someone to find me. Everybody always steals from me too. Especially the young kids and people from the gangs.” Gracia has indeed been taken advantage of according to Dee Pearse of the Compassion Center. “A lot of older homeless people are very often taken advantage of,” Pearse said. “They get Social Security and a lot of times they have the older people buy them stuff. That happens to Mary. They act like they are Mary’s friends, then they make her buy things for them, then they just dump her off again.” On Tuesday, Jan. 22, Santa Clara County issued a warning for the area’s homeless, warning them of incoming severe weather. For Gracia, as the storm clouds gathered once more, it’s unknown where she will be, when storms clouds break loose again.

while he was crossing the street on Leavesley Road and Forrest Street he was hit by a car. “I had the right away and everything,” Martinez, who gets around on crutches, claimed. “Next thing I know, pow. My face hit the windshield and I went flying. I broke my pelvis and everything here on my right side is all busted up. If I get hurt again like if I fall, they tell me I’ll be in a wheelchair the rest of my life.” Martinez is now completely dependent on his girlfriend, Jacqueline Robbles, for nearly everything now. Robbles, who has been homeless for eight years, was joined on the streets by Martinez for protection, according to him. Now, a life
that was already difficult has become far more perilous. “I yell at her a lot to hurry up,” Martinez said as Robbles cried softly nearby. “I regret it later. But I’m frustrated now and I can’t do anything for myself. I’m out here to protect her though. Whenever people come by the tent at night and bother us, I get out of the tent with a flashlight and scare them off. I may be hurt right now, but I’ll still fight them.” Donations to the Compassion Center can be made online at gilroycompassioncenter.blogspot. com or on their Facebook page.

Homeless citizens, business owners meet GILROYANS PACK CITY HALL TO TALK CRIME AND ISSUES OF THE HOMELESS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
“Nobody wants to be homeless,” shouted Rachel Kogan, a 17-year old senior at Christopher High School in response to Gilroy businessman John Webster, who boiled over in frustration over the negative impacts Gilroy’s homeless population puts on his business. “They cut through my fence to steal $20 worth recyclables and it cost me $500 to fix the damage,” Webster said.” Citizens at a packed city hall on Jan.17 met to discuss Gilroy’s homeless population. Vicki Oliveri recounted the traumatic attack suffered by her husband, Sal Oliveri, who was attacked at his business, Pinocchio’s Pizza, on Jan. 6. Daleen CharlsonPearse, Program Director of the Gilroy Compassion Center, championed the progress already made and spoke with urgency about the need to identify the root causes of homelessness. And then there were homeless Gilroyans, who spoke about their lives on the street. The Gilroy City Council sought answers on crime in Gilroy, not exclusively homelessness and Gilroy Police Chief presented an uncomfortable reality in the eyes
of the police department. Gilroy is growing and the police department is not growing enough to keep pace,due to changes in state law which officers said have handcuffed law enforcement. “There’s one individual the council knows— he’s been on probation 12 times, gangs, drugs, he’s not a nice guy,” Smithee said. “One year we arrested him 41 times—and not for low-level stuff. We arrest the same people over and over again and most days they’ll be back the next day or later that day.” According to the Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey, between 2015 and 2017 the homeless population in Gilroy has risen from 439 to 722. The Gilroy Police Department, in contrast, has grown from having 33 officers in 1997 to now having 38 officers today. To help alleviate the strain on the police force, on Feb. 5 the city council will examine the possibility of expanding the overtime budget for the police department, $50,000, possibly up to $100,000 or more. Representatives from the Gilroy Compassion Center, Charlson-Pearse and Program Director of the Gilroy Compassion Center spoke in favor of their work helping the area’s homeless make positive changes in their lives. The mood of the audience—more than 20 of them spoke during the public commentary portion of the meeting, varied and seemed to be divided
WE’RE ALL HUMAN Rachel Kogan makes an impassioned plea for the needs of the homeless, at Jan.17 meeting. into partisanship—those who stressed law and order and those motivated by compassion or personal experience. “Something must be done, we cannot fear to be on the street or in fear to run our business,” said Oliveri who recounted the traumatic and violent
attack their family experienced when Sal Oliveri was stabbed while he at his business. “Not a day goes by that we don’t think of it. Why don’t we run background checks? Criminals do not deserve to be assisted in our city.” According to data provided by the Compassion
Center, 70 percent of Gilroy’s homeless population are Gilroyans. One, Minnie Nevarez, said she was born and raised in Gilroy and now she is homeless. “I just want to say that I’m from Gilroy and it’s hard, but I get through it by the compassion of others,” Nevarez said.
“I’m in the Almost Home Program which and it provides a tent, it’s safe and it’s clean. If it weren’t for that and the Compassion Center, this would not be possible. I’m going to take my HVAC test this Friday and it’s not just about a job, but it’s a career. We can’t do all of this alone.”

Sites offer legal alternatives for homeless
Bryce Stoepfel
Camps, 1 new dentures and he was so happy about that; and they lost that too,” she said. The tale of the two camps illustrates the precarious existence of Gilroy’s homeless population. It also affords a view of what could be a viable mid-term solution to a problem that exasperates city police and fire personnel, business owners and residents concerned about safety. “The camping program provides a stable place where they know they can be with access to sanitation,” Pearse said. “It’s stable. It gives them a place to decompress and then be able to work on a solution and that’s what this town needs. It needs a place where people can be. Instead of telling people they can’t be here (referring to an illegal campsite) tell them where they can be.” Along the railroad tracks, there is another homeless camp, one large makeshift tent cluster that contains an unknown number of people. It is constructed of tarps and advertising banners held up by ropes and cords tied to a nearby fence line and tree, standing next to a small pup tent. The area is surrounded by trash, bikes, bike parts; it is boarded on one side by a fence line separating the rail line from nearby businesses. The rail track itself lies 10 feet nearby and is bisected by a crude trench dug to drain away rainwater. “Honestly, I’ve given up, I don’t think I’m ever going to get a place,” said one homeless man living next to the railroad track. “I was told months ago that I would get a place. Then, nothing. I haven’t heard anything.” Nearby underneath a railroad bridge, a tiny makeshift cave has been constructed by a couple in their thirties, made from
OFF TRACK This illegal homeless encampment near the railroad track is one of the dozens of camps found in Gilroy. large rocks found nearby which are held together by foam insulation. Miller Slough, which runs underneath the bridge, is dry now but memories of last year’s flooding are still fresh on minds of those who live underneath the bridge. “Every time it rains I think about it,” said a woman, 35, who didn’t wish to be identified as she pointed to a spot which was the high water mark less than two feet from where they sleep. Lake Campground is a privately owned campground which is used by both tent
and TV campers. After a brief visual inspection of the RVs there, many with registrations that were expired since 2015, it appeared than many of the campers have been there on a long term basis. Donations to the Compassion Center can be made online at gilroycompassioncenter. blogspot.com or on their Facebook page. Donations can also be dropped off directly at the Compassion Center at 370 Tompkins Court, Gilroy.

Five influenza-related deaths in the county HEALTH OFFICIALS URGE RESIDENTS TO GET SHOTS Staff report
An “influenza virus infection” claimed the life of a fifth Santa Clara County resident earlier this month. County officials are recommending those who haven’t already received the flu vaccination to do so, according to an announcement from the Public Health Department. The most recent death was an individual under the age of 65 years. All five deceased residents had not been vaccinated, according to county health officials. Along with the Emergency Medical Services Agency and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, the Public Health Department recommends that any residents experiencing flulike symptoms to “stay home, drink fluids and take medicine for fever.” “People should monitor their own symptoms and if they are
getting worse, contact their medical provider,” the Jan. 10 announcement states. County health officials recommend that all individuals six months of age and older, including pregnant women, be vaccinated against influenza. “The influenza vaccination is the best way to protect your family from complications of influenza,” said Dr. George Han, the county’s Assistant Health Officer. “It’s not too late to get vaccinated. Even if the vaccine does not prevent you from getting the flu, it will make it less likely for you to be seriously ill and require hospitalization.” People at risk for complications from the flu have chronic conditions, are pregnant, or are very young or very old. “For the vast majority of us who are not in a risk group, we will get better,” said Dr. Jeffery Leinen, Medical Director at SCVMC Emergency Department. “If you’re sick, stay home and take care of yourself. But if you are seriously ill and at risk for complications from the flu, contact
your medical provider because you may need additional treatment or hospital care.” Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Emergency Department has seen an increase of patients who have been diagnosed with the flu. In the first week of December 2017, only 5 patients were diagnosed as having an influenza virus. The numbers continued to increase and for the week of January 1-7, 40 patients were diagnosed with influenza. “We see increased flu activity with the higher daily ambulance traffic to hospitals. Typically we have 220 emergency medical transports a day. In December 2017, there were 240 daily transports,” said Dr. Kenneth Miller, Medical Director of the Emergency Medical Systems Agency. “And so far this year, Jan. 1-10, 2018, we averaged 264 daily transports to local hospitals. That compares to an average of 253 daily transports for the same time period last year. Needless to say, emergency departments are extremely busy and wait times are long.”
FLU-RELATED DEATHS AMONG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 65 YEARS Current Flu Season: Oct. 2017 to date: 5 Oct. 2016 to April 2017: 2 Oct. 2015 to April 2016: 6
SANTA CLARA VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER INFLUENZA PATIENTS Dec. 4-10, 2017: 5 total patients, 1 diagnosed with influenza Dec. 11-17, 2017: 4, with 2 diagnosed Dec. 18-24, 2017: 15, with 11 diagnosed Dec. 25-31, 2017: 42, with 24 diagnosed Jan. 1-7, 2018: 40, with 20 diagnosed
Health officials recommend that people take the following additional steps to protect themselves and loved ones from the flu: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your elbow when you cough or sneeze. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, since hands may become contaminated with live influenza virus. • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and
water are not available, an alcohol-based hand rub may be used. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Stay at least six feet away from individuals who are visibly ill. • If you are sick, stay home from work or school until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours. Going to work or school while ill may pass the disease to someone who is at risk for serious complications. For more information about influenza, visit sccphd.org/flu.

SPORTS
WRESTLING
Robert Eliason
Tony The Tiger GOING FOR A RIDE Gilroy High senior Tony Andrade went a perfect 4-0 in last Saturday’s Overfelt Tournament, winning every match via pinfall.
Andrade entered the week ranked third in the state in the 195-pound weight class. Andrade was the state runner-up at 195 pounds last season.
GILROY HIGH’S TONY ANDRADE DEAD SET ON FINISHING AT STATE THIS TIME emanuel lee Sports Editor
Working way up
“My endurance wasn’t there,” said Andrade, who last weekend ran roughshod in the Overfelt Tournament, winning every match via pinfall en route to the 195-pound title. “So this week to prepare my arms I did burnouts on the bench with dumbbells to get my arms conditioned.” Before the Temecula Valley High Tournament, Andrade competed in the equally loaded Doc Buchanan Tournament in Clovis. “I needed a little more gas in the tank, and I should be there by MidCals (tournament Gilroy High is hosting on Friday and Saturday),” he said. “I’ve been doing a lot of extra work so I can catch up. I’m trying to grind through the season and get over the hump.” That’s exactly what Andrade has done throughout a solid wrestling career that includes two Monterey Bay League championships and last year’s CCS title.
Robert Eliason
Tony Andrade doesn’t lack for confidence. But the Gilroy High senior knows the difference between being confident and cocky, and he plans on never crossing that line. After all, wrestling is a sport that demands humility, and for good reason. Perhaps no other high school sport demands more out of a student-athlete than wrestling. Take it from Andrade, who in the fall starred at defensive end for a Gilroy High football team that won the program’s firstever Central Coast Section championship with a storybook 13-0 season. It wasn’t too long after before Andrade had to take his skills to the mat. “Football is a little more violent, and there are some big collisions,” he said. “But wrestling is the ultimate grind, where everyday you have to overcome some sort of obstacle to reach your goal.” The state runner-up last year in the 195-pound division, Andrade plans on finishing the deal in his final high school season. Currently ranked third in the state, the 6-foot Andrade blends agility, power, strength, technical skills and ever-improving stamina to dominate most of his opponents. Andrade also possesses tremendous mental toughness and match awareness, as he suffered only a handful of losses—and just one
via pin—last year despite facing several nationallyranked wrestlers. Andrade lost to the Nos. 1 and 2-ranked wrestlers in the state earlier this season, but he’s far from worried. After all, Andrade is still not in peak shape after the football season extended into the first weekend of December. “I’m trying to get in my groove,” he said. “Every week I’m increasing my conditioning and my wrestling skills.” Two weeks ago, Andrade took second in the Temecula Valley High Tournament. At one point in the third period, Andrade could barely feel his arms. TOO STRONG Tony Andrade, a Gilroy High senior, dominates an opponent from Fremont-Sunnyvale High en route to winning the 195-pound championship at the Overfelt Tournament last Saturday. Andrade went 4-0 with four pins. On the gridiron, Andrade has been equally ferocious. During the Mustangs’ dominating playoff run—they beat every opponent by at least 18 points—Andrade totaled eight sacks. Andrade wasn’t even sure he was going to play this past season after undergoing surgery for a torn ACL on his birthday, May 2. Unsure whether he wanted to give it a go or prepare early for wrestling season, Andrade said he asked his teammates if he could return to the team for the Christopher game. “I really missed it and wanted to be with them,” he said. “I asked them if it would be cool to come back, and they welcomed me with open arms.” Andrade has exhibited plenty of toughness in his athletic career, especially during his junior year. Andrade suffered the second of his two ACL tears—the first came in
his sophomore year— during the wrestling season. However, Andrade marched on all the way to the state finals.
Not to be denied
“I just had to wrestle; I couldn’t miss another year,” he said. “It wasn’t too bad. Plus, the doctor told me I have a strong leg. I didn’t shoot at all during the state tournament, probably three times total. But I had a good gas tank, I positioned myself well and wrestled to my strengths.” Andrade said he has made a verbal commitment to wrestle at Oklahoma State University, while also noting he needs to complete a math class to meet the academic requirement of admission. “I’m probably going to sign at the end of the school year,” he said. Andrade will be a heavy favorite to repeat as CCS champion and make a
deep state run. He envisions returning to the state championship match, only this time there will be a different outcome. “I didn’t do that well (in the title match),” he said. “I guess I got a little shell shocked because I had never wrestled in that big of a scene. I learned I need to just go out there and let it fly. I kind of froze up a little bit, and this time the difference is going to be the experience factor.” Indeed, wrestling and competing at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield can be a bit daunting for firsttime state finalists. When Andrade came out of the tunnel to the main stage, he had never been so nervous for a match. “When I was up on stage, I usually stretch my arms and look up,” he said. “This time when I looked up, I saw thousands of people looking at me. I was like, ‘Oh dang.’ Then
in the match I didn’t let it fly and didn’t wrestle my best against a great opponent. If I get another chance, I’m going to let if fly.” Andrade received a first-hand look on what it takes to win a state championship. When Andrade was in the eighth grade, he vividly remembers watching then Gilroy High senior Paul Fox completing incredible, grueling workouts—after practice. Fox is currently wrestling at Stanford, having garnered 2017 AllAmerican honors. “Paul would run, do pushups, lift—this guy did crazy workouts after practice,” Andrade said. “He’d go a straight hour doing pull-ups, hangs, climbing the rope, doing bench press on his neck. He kind of taught me how to outwork everyone. He was the guy who showed me the light.”

Martin has been golden on, off field CHRISTOPHER HIGH JUNIOR HAS BEEN TOUGH TO STOP, EVEN WHEN TEAMS ARE FOCUSING ON THE STRIKER emanuel lee Sports Editor
Mom as coach
“It’s super fun to play with her as an assistant coach for our team,” Aurea said. “It is an interesting dynamic, but we’re really close. That makes it a great and enjoyable experience.” During the club season, Aurea plays for Mountain View-Los Altos (MVLA), which is one of the premier traveling squads in the state. Martin is a distributing midfielder for MVLA, so the chance to play striker for Christopher is a nice changeup. “For high school, I get to work on my shooting, which is one of my weaker points,” she said. Martin grew up playing travel ball around Gilroy and Morgan Hill; however, it was apparent from an early age she needed to play for a team like MVLA. “My proudest accomplishment is growing from where I was when I was one of the better players in Morgan Hill and Gilroy to not necessarily being the best player on MVLA,” she

In Latin, the female name Aurea means golden. It’s turned out to be an appropriate name for Christopher High junior striker Aurea Martin, whose dazzling game has helped the girls soccer team to the top of the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division. The Cougars entered Friday’s match against Notre Dame-Salinas at 7-4-1 overall and in 5-1-0 in division play. Martin, who was last year’s MBL Gabilan Offensive Most Valuable Player, has done nothing but impress yet again. “Aurea is a very special player,” Christopher coach Matt Oetinger said. “Her skill set and skill level is so high, and in the sport of soccer those things are difficult to learn at a later date. It’s got to be something you’re brought up with if you want to reach a high level. It helps to be gifted, which she is. Quite frankly, she couldn’t be a sweeter girl, so you’re getting everything in one basket.” Martin scored five of the team’s first six goals in league play, including a hat trick against San Benito on Jan. 10. Martin credited her teammates for setting her up perfectly on two of the three goals. “What really helped is everyone was making great runs and great touches on the ball,” she said. “It wasn’t just me finishing, but it was all the work that led up to it. My last goal was definitely an individual (effort), but the
first two goals the team connected on a bunch of passes beforehand.” On Martin’s final tally against the Haybalers, she used her speed to blow by the defense. However, Martin’s greatest strength lies in her ability to maneuver where space is limited. “I have the ability to get out of smaller spaces,” she said. Martin inherited some great soccer genes. Her dad, Tim, played professionally for 12 years including two stints with the U.S. national team, and her mom, Darlene Del Carmen, was a standout player at the University of Virginia. Del Carmen happens to be a Christopher High assistant coach, meaning Aurea and Darlene get plenty of quality momdaughter time together.
ON THE GO Aurea Martin scored five of the Cougars’ first six goals in MBL Gabilan Division play. In addition to being a standout soccer player, Martin also excels in the classroom, as she takes four AP classes and has a 3.83 GPA. said. “Learning to challenge myself is one of the biggest factors that have helped me to be where I am today.” Martin’s has a younger brother, Enzo, who is an eighth grader at Brownell and has already shown plenty of soccer acumen. The two practice against each other when they get the chance, with Aurea able
to have the upper hand because of the age difference and the fact Enzo has yet to fully hit his growth spurt. However, Aurea knows the days of getting the better of her brother are numbered. “Once he really starts growing, it’s going to be tough to outplay him,” she said. “But right now I can still bump him off the ball.”
Even though Martin loves soccer, she has plenty of ambition and drive outside of the sport thanks in part to Darlene, who instilled in her daughter to be excellent in every aspect of her life, not just soccer. “My mom was a great soccer player, but she’s also very artistic and inspired me to look beyond soccer,” Aurea
said. “She wanted me to look at other things in life.” And that’s exactly what Martin has done, producing a 3.83 GPA while taking four Advanced Placement classes this year. Martin can see herself working in the biochemistry field in a future that seems to have no ceiling, soccer or otherwise.

First St., San Jose, CA Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $799,038.40 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2390 STONECRESS STREET GILROY, CA 95020 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. A.P.N #.: 783-65-014 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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.
