Low rainfall falls short of drought designation RESERVOIR LEVELS ARE FALLING By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

This may be great weather for weekend fun, but a continued lack of rainfall has state and federal officials worried about a return of drought conditions, after two wet winters. It hasn’t rained a drop here for more than a month, and none is forecast for the rest of the month. In Hollister, rainfall this winter is less than half the October-February average—about 4 inches since Oct. 1. In Gilroy and Morgan Hill, less than 4 inches of rain has been recorded since Oct.1, which is barely 25 percent of the normal rainfall for the South County. Federal officials this week reported that “abnormal dryness or drought’ Submitted

The Gilroy Downtown Business Association announced winners of its second annual “Downtown is for Lovers” essay contest and promotion. Alyssa Sutton wrote the winning essay about her continuing romance with husband Levi. The winner was selected by judges at the Gilroy

Dispatch from multiple entries. The couple won a gift basket donated by an assortment of downtown Gilroy businesses, with items including gift cards, services and products. Rack cards highlighting all the offers and specials at downtown businesses were distributed throughout the community. Participating businesses include: Garlic City Mercantile, Old City Hall, Los Pericos, itty bitty Beauty Boutique, Amoretto

Boutique, Shag Beauty Bar, Studio Three, Station 55, FACT Fitness, Limelight Actors Theater, Leedo Art and Frame, Robot Shark, BookBuyers, Café 152 Bread Co., Kutz and Colors, Predators Archery, Frank’s Barber Shop, Gilroy Vacuum Center and Nimble Thimble. Here is the winning essay: “We fell head over heels for each other the first day we laid eyes on each other. We had our first date at the

Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. We spent that first date holding hands and kissing on the Ferris wheel. Ever since that day we haven’t gone a day without talking to each other. Even with our hectic work lives we still make time to add to our love story. He spends his days on a firetruck, I spend mine answering 911 calls. We may only get to see each other once or twice a week sometimes, but those days are the best days of my life. We bought

our first house together here in this amazing garlic city. We love spending out nights together at our favorite restaurants and shops in town. We love going on bike rides to get ice cream or just enjoy the daylight together. We’re newlyweds that argue like an old couple, but we are also newlyweds that love like an old married couple. We share our love and hope our love we have for each other can radiate to everyone around us.”

New math building is on a fast track OLDER HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES MAJOR UPGRADES Scott Forstner Reporter

58015 02001

In a concerted effort to capture equity among its two high school facilities as well as expand capacity for a growing population, Gilroy district officials have earmarked $14.5 million for a new two-story, 20-classroom mathematics building on its Gilroy High School campus.

The new quad project is well underway, with the foundation nearing completion on the back side of campus and the prefabricated modular building arriving later this month. It is the latest in a series of upgrades to the 750 W. 10th Street campus that represents district leadership’s continuing efforts to upgrade the 1978 Gilroy campus, on par with Christopher High School, built in 2009. An earlier facelift at Gilroy High occurred in 2012. “This is one that is very dear to my heart. We’ve been working

on this for some time,” said Gilroy Unified School District Supt. Deborah Flores, who is also part of the facilities subcommittee that made the recommendation for the new math building. “We made a commitment to do everything we could at Gilroy High School to make it look like a new building. It’s a beautiful campus now,” she said. The total cost is funded in part by Measure E ($4.7 million), proceeds from the sale of the Wren Avenue property ($8.3 million) and developer fees ($1.5

million), according to Assistant Supt. Alvaro Meza. For more than two years, the facilities committee members, which also includes Meza, three school board trustees and other district staff, evaluated whether to add seven new portables to the 13 existing ones in the math quad or purchase a permanent structure. The move was essential to accommodate an estimated growth of 2,000 students in the Gilroy High School ➝ GHS, 18

TIME FOR SPRINKLERS New plantings this winter need watering from sprinklers, in the absence of winter rain.

Reservoir levels drop, as drought looms

approximately 81 percent of the state's population. The “U.S. Drought Monitor” showed abnormally dry conditions in San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, with most of the state south of San Benito already in moderate or severe drought. An “official” drought declaration generally requires two consecutive years of low rainfall. Normally, more than half of the year’s rainfall occurs

in December, January, and February. The average annual precipitation for Gilroy and Morgan Hill is about 20 inches. The annual average for Hollister is about 14 inches. The growing season for most crops is just beginning, and farmers have begun irrigating heavily, in the absence of rain. So far for this 2018 water year (which began October 1), overall Northern California precipitation was about 67 percent of

average for this time of year. Snowpack statewide was about 27 percent of average for this time of year. Fortunately, California has 109 percent of average water storage in reservoirs. But reservoir levels are falling. This week’s latest report from the Santa Clara Valley Water District reports that all reservoirs—which were at or near capacity a year ago—are below 50 percent capacity, except the small Vasona Reservoir at 73 percent. Lexington Reservoir,

which overflowed a year ago, was at 31.2 percent of capacity this week. The total reservoir capacity in Santa Clara County was just at 26 percent. The Anderson Reservoir was at 24.4 percent this week, and the Coyote Reservoir was at 20.7 percent capacity. The Uvas Reservoir was at 30.9 percent and the Chesbro Reservoir was at 29 percent. The wet 2017 water year substantially refilled

Northern California’s less depleted aquifers. But only a small part of the additional drought groundwater withdrawals has been recharged for the more depleted aquifers of the southern Central Valley The Santa Clara Valley Water District reports that nearly half of the water used in Santa Clara County is pumped from groundwater The county's groundwater subbasins serve several important functions

in that they transmit, filter, and store water. Water from the district's recharge program and from rainfall enters the subbasins through recharge areas and undergoes natural filtration as it is transmitted into deeper aquifers. The groundwater subbasins also have vast storage capacity, which allows the district to store excess water in normal and wet years. This stored water serves as the county's best protection against droughts or other outages.

If you have ever considered running for local office in Santa Clara County, now is your chance. Monday kicked off the nomination period for the June 5, 2018 Statewide Primary Election. The nomination period ends on Friday, March 9, but can be extended to Wednesday, March 14 for contests where the eligible incumbent doesn’t file. Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Shannon Bushey urged candidates running for office to call the Candidate Services Division at (408) 2998639 or come into the office in order to review forms and requirements for successful filing. “There is no leeway in the filing deadline,” Bushey said. “It is always best to file nomination papers as early as possible so that any incorrect forms may be corrected before the filing deadline, which in most cases cannot be extended.” The following federal, state, and county offices are up for election in 2018, which means there will be June primaries, and runoff elections for the top two finishers in November. • Governor • Lieutenant Governor • Secretary of State • Controller • Treasurer • Attorney General • Insurance

Hill, said he intends to run for reelection. “It’s been my privilege to represent South County on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors,” Wasserman said. “I am seeking reelection in June 2018 and have been honored to receive a strong outpouring of support from local leaders in education, public safety, business, agriculture, and community members who share my passion for improving our county.” While the City of Gilroy won’t participate in the June primary, several elected offices will go before voters in November. Four of the seven Gilroy City Council seats will be up for reelection later this year, including Vice Mayor Daniel Harney, Councilman Peter LeroeMunoz, Councilman Dion Bracco, and newly appointed Councilwoman Marie Blankley. Additionally, four of the seven seats on the Gilroy Unified School District Board of Education will be up for reelection in November, including Board President Linda Piceno, Member Heather Bass, Member Patricia Midtgaard, and Member Jaime Rosso. Candidates are encouraged to make an appointment and begin the nomination filing process as early as possible to ensure all paperwork is completed and submitted on time.

San Benito County Supervisor Robert Rivas’ political campaign announced last week the endorsement of Equality California in the race for the 30th State Assembly District. “I am extremely proud to be endorsed by Equality California,” Rivas said. “I am dedicated to making sure all Californians are fully represented in Sacramento.”

The civil rights organization noted that as a county supervisor, Rivas led the effort to create the first LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) resource center in San Benito County and developed partnerships in the community to create ongoing discussions about LGBTQ issues. “Robert Rivas has been an outspoken advocate to assure that government programs meet the needs of LGBTQ people in his rural community,” said Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California. “As a member of the San Benito County Board of Supervisors, he

has demonstrated his strong commitment to the LGBTQ community and we look forward to his continued leadership as a member of the California Assembly.” Equality California describes itself as the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ civil rights organization. Its stated goal is to “bring the voices of LGBTQ people and allies to institutions of power in California and across the United States, striving to create a world that is healthy, just, and fully equal for all LGBTQ people.” More information on Rivas’ campaign for State Assembly can be found at rivasforassembly.com.

Rivas led the effort to create the first LGBTQ resource center in San Benito County and developed partnerships in the community to create ongoing discussions about LGBTQ issues.

OPINION FROM THE WEB Alcohol permits in parks I also find it increasingly ludicrous that you would force the law-abiding citizens of Gilroy to take an extra step to have a simple get together on a sunny afternoon because the homeless can't control their behavior or drinking problem. As a small business owner who is an event planner, this throws another expense at not only my customers, but another step of time I have to do to insure my customers are not hassled at their park event. One needs to remind ones self on where Gilroy gets the money to run our parks. Anybody have the answer? Taxes! Your money, my money, our money. I rarely see out-of -ontrol raves and wild parties happening at any parks, but I do see the homeless hanging out, drinking next to the Dog Park every time I walk by! Are you trying to tell me they have a permit? Laughable at best. Was this another Unanimous Decision by our City Council?

Judging by the broken beer bottles and constant drunks at so many parks, The city must sell a lot of alcohol permits.

Resist the parade nonsense

o, now he wants a parade? Showy military displays go back millennia, to ancient Egypt and Greece. Yet, the U.S. has no consistent tradition of big military parades, especially since the Second World War. Why is that? Ask any senior officer. She or he will explain that it’s because a confident Pax Americana never felt any need. Strutting and preening is, in fact, the surest sign of an inferiority complex. Americans saw no point in grandiose expense and display—until now. During the Second World War, we were the one nation rich enough to supply each soldier with two uniforms. It wasn’t in order to show off that wealth. Rather, one uniform was for travel and office work and business— okay-looking, but not tailored for show. And even that one was stored away near the front, as each fighting man donned olive drab combat fatigues. Our adversaries—and yes, allies— mocked how ugly the ensemble was, then shut up when they saw how it allowed free, agile movement and easy maintenance. The combat uniform was purely functional and saved many hours of upkeep, as G.I.s seldom had to spit and polish or brush it for inspections. George Marshall—who should have

been Time’s Person of the 20th Century— made this decision, in part for practical reasons, but also because obsession with symbolism has always been the surest sign of second-rate thinking. We had a world to remake, and we weren’t in it for show. Still, at another level, this parade nonsense is a canny political trap! Picture a half million liberals protesting and jeering along the route,. Can you imagine anything more counterproductive for the “Resistance”? Many in today’s military are disgusted by the Right’s open war on science and all fact professions. But if one thing could push our wavering service members, their families and supporters back into Republican arms, it’s getting spitupon while on parade. No. We should resist this nonsense for better reasons. Because an America that’s still confident leader of the world—or ‘great’— doesn’t need to show off. Our overwhelming ability, professionalism, science, technical skill and calm assurance speak for themselves. In fact, nothing will more profoundly advertise our plummet from paramount confidence than this silly, silly dive into wasteful symbolism/obsession. David Brin is a writer who lives in Southern California.

I agree 100 percent. I would like the article to have explained how the permit system works. Get a permit, and you're good for life? Or need a new one each time. I'd hate to think that a law abiding citizen and his or her sweetheart would need to plan ahead in order to enjoy a glass of wine at an impromptu picnic in the park.

OBITUARIES MARIAN SHIRLEY BREM August 11, 1934 - January 12, 2018

ur Mother, Shirley Brem, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2018 at Brandel Manor in Turlock surrounded by her family. She was born in Salinas to Charles Phillips and Delmira Monteiro. In 1953, she married Richard Brem and they were married for over 62 year until he passed away in September 2018.

Mom is survived by three children, Mike (Tina), Nancy (Nick) and Jim (Pam). She has five grandchildren, Jason, Jeff, Ryan, Kyle and Tyson. She also had five great grandchildren, Cali, Jack, Layne, Everett and Clark. She is also survived by her sister, Patricia Bettencourt. Mom was the most dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother a person could have. She took great care of Dad until the end and her family was her biggest priority. Mom was a great cook and loved to bake. We will miss her Christmas cakes and cookies. She also loved to sew and many have one of her quilts. In keeping with Mom’s wishes, there were no services. We suspect she is already tending to Dad who has been waiting impatiently for her.

ea Lorraine Leso, 96, of Gilroy passed away Friday, February 2, 2018. Lea was born on January 4, 1922 in Gridley, Kansas to Eunice and Harold McCormick. Lea’s family of three sisters and two brothers came out to California in 1930 and settled in the Berkley area.

Lea married Ami Leso July 7, 1943. They would enjoy 68 wonderful years together until his passing in 2011. Just weeks prior to her passing Lea spoke of what a wonderful life she had. Besides raising children, that wonderful life included a love of animals, hobbies, and travel. An avid horse enthusiast Lea rode frequently all the way to her 88th birthday. Her goats provided nourishing milk and her donkey much amusement. Living in the country the deer were hearty connoisseurs of her annual vegetable garden and the wild turkeys considered her home their home in their foraging. Softball, swimming, hiking, rock climbing, river rafting, and Tai Chi were many hobbies that she enjoyed. Her travels with Ami were always a highlight. Be it the rattle snake in the Grand Canyon, the Grizzly Bear on the Stikine River or traveling by horse drawn wagon through Ireland, Lea always had stories when she came back. Lea also loved to quilt, and her life became a quilt with the many adventures she lived. Lea is survived by her sister Joanne Rudolph of Santa Cruz; daughter Karen Hegglin (Eli), sons Raymond (Beverly) and, Shannon (Karen); grandchildren Melissa (Mark) Dean, Becky (Tim) Pasquinelli, Sarah (Joe) Simon, Roseanne Leso, Anthony Leso, Marie (Ben) Roberts, and Carmen Leso; great-grandchildren Eliza, Eric, Evan, Ethan, Gabriella, Reece, Giovanni, Stella and Juliet.

STEPHEN A. CAPOSIO July 25, 1966 - February 1, 2018

tephen A. Caposio “Capo” passed away suddenly in his beautiful home in the hills on Thursday February 1, 2018. He was the most loving, caring, unselfish husband, father, brother and friend you could have. He gave one hundred percent to everything he did. He is survived by: wife Shana Caposio, son Robert Caposio, and his wife Sara Caposio, son Timothy Caposio, daughter Sara Caposio, mother Concetta Cirone, sister Julie Pelz, and husband Rick Pelz, sister Laura Manginelli, brother Phillip Ullio, brother Joseph Caposio, brother Robert Caposio Jr. and wife Gladys Caposio, Aunt Irene Baker, closet cousins Virginia Santa Inez, Irene Baker, and cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. What can you say about a self-made man with a bigger heart and an even bigger personality? Capo was a generous man that helped many and touched countless lives in a positive way. He lived to entertain and everywhere he went became a party. Stephen was an industrious man. He utilized his spare time by mastering a variety of skillsets. The list includes: hunting, cooking, acting, singing, fashion, and vehicle restoration. His accolades reflect his uncanny ability to be the very best at everything he did. Steve took friends and family on world class hunting trips all over the country, never failing to bring home a trophy. He taught old world Italian cooking classes and was the winner of an episode of The Food Network’s “Cutthroat Kitchen.” Capo even co-starred in the feature film “The Biggest Game in Town.” Steve was always impeccably dressed. He even had his wardrobe insured. Steve loved to sing, and he did it with passion. He collected and restored classic Cadillacs to the point of winning numerous awards, his favorite being the prestigious Grand LaSalle competition. All of these are bigger than hobbies, they are areas of expertise, each one being career worthy in and of themselves. Steve was boisterous and lifted everybody’s spirit no matter the situation. His loss leaves a void in his family and friend’s lives that will never be filled. There will be a memorial in true Capo style. A party that he would truly be proud of. Ladies wear your best open-toed shoes! The viewing will take place Friday February 23, 2018, from 4pm - 9pm at the Neptune Society, 798 South Second St., San Jose CA. The memorial service will take place on Saturday February 24, 2018, from 12:30pm - 2pm at the Five Wounds Church, 1375 East Santa Clara St. San Jose CA.

SV Clean Energy repays city loans NEW ENERGY AGENCY IS DEBTFREE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR OF OPERATION Staff report

File Photo

The cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill were among 11 Santa Clara County cities, which, along with the county government, last month were repaid in full the startup loans from Silicon Valley Clean Energy, the public nonprofit “community choice” energy agency that now provides most electricity to most county residents. As part of an agreement that formed Silicon Valley Clean Energy in 2016, the energy agency—which provides cleaner power at competitive costs— the county’s municipalities loaned $2.7 million to provide the agency with initial working capital. The loan agreement gave the agency four years from the effective date of the agreement, or March 2020, to pay back the loan. However, all funds were returned in January 2018, more than two years ahead of schedule, and within the agency’s first year of operation. The cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill each received checks for $100,000, their share of the startup loan. The agency also secured an $18 million revolving line of credit and a $2 million non-revolving line of credit, both of which were retired in late 2017. The loans allowed Silicon Valley Clean Energy to get up and running and pay for startup costs, which included power procurement, staffing, marketing and outreach, the agency reported this week.

CLEANER POWER Agency provides cleaner, cheaper alternative for 97 percent of county consumers. “Returning our startup loans well ahead of schedule and being debt-free in less than a year shows that Community Choice Energy is a viable model,” says Rob Rennie, Silicon Valley Energy Board Chair. “When forming this agency, we were focused on the significant greenhouse gas reductions having carbon-free electricity would provide, but our communities will gain additional benefits with [our agency] reinvesting net revenues in our local economy and providing customer programs.” Community choice energy agencies in California are funded

by ratepayers through electricity sales, and do not rely on taxpayer funds. The agency is locally governed by a board of directors comprised of one elected official from each member community. Since launching service in April 2017, SVCE now serves more than 242,000 commercial and residential electricity customers in 11 Santa Clara County towns and cities, and unincorporated county communities with carbon-free power—97 per cent of all customers in the service area. Silicon Valley electric

generation rates are 1 percent less than PG&E’s equivalent rate, providing an estimated $3.4 million dollars of on-bill savings to customers, according to the agency. Silicon Valley Clean Energy customers still get billed by PG&E and pay PG&E for electricity transmission and delivery. It is now just a new line item of the bill that replaces PG&E electric generation charges. Customers pay SVCE on a line item on the PG&E bill called “Silicon Valley Clean Energy Electric Generation Charges.” Customers with questions

about how to understand SVCE generation charges on their bill can visit svcleanenergy.org/ your-bill or call 1-844-474-7823 (SVCE). Silicon Vallley Clean Energy’s GreenStart electric generation service offers 50 percent renewable energy that is 100 percent carbon free, Tobin continued. For a higher rate, residential and commercial customers can choose to upgrade to SVCE’s GreenPrime program, to receive 100 percent renewable power. In comparison, PG&E’s existing service offers 60 percent carbonfree, 30 percent renewable energy.

Big food distributor coming to Gilroy PERFORMANCE FOODS MOVES FROM SANTA CRUZ Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Bryce Stoepfel

Performance Food Group is moving its food distribution plant from Santa Cruz to Gilroy. The company said it will build a 195,000-squarefoot food processing plant on Monterey Road, which will replace its current location in Santa Cruz. The move could mean nearly 60 new jobs in Gilroy, as the company expects to retain 70 percent of the current 190 person workforce. However, it is unclear how the commute will affect the retention of long-term employee. The new site sits on 30 acres of land at 5480 Monterey Road, south of the Garlic Farm Travel Center. Construction is expected to take about a year. With 30 acres to work with, Performance Food Group will have the option to add 151,000 square feet to the 195,000 square feet facility. The property was listed by Renz and Renz Investment and Commercial Brokerage at $5,500,000. While Performance Food Groups, which specializes in supplying restaurants, may be one of the largest industrial food distribution operations in Gilroy, it is expected to employ fewer employees and will take up a smaller land-use footprint than UNFI, the largest distributor of organic and natural food products in the US, which employs 230 employees. Performance Food Group distributes a broad array of food and food-related products

LOADING UP Performance Food is leaving Santa Cruz to take its food distribution center to Gilroy, along with its 190 person workforce. such as baked goods, meats, poultry, condiments and even cleaning supplies. The firm delivers fresh, frozen and dry food as well as food-related products such as cleaning supplies and packaging materials. It also offers equipment, supplies and serving ware. The company has a cheese processing facility in Minnesota, and also ships fresh seafood overnight to customer locations across the U.S.

When the decision to approve construction of UNFI was presented to the Gilroy City Council, the city requested that they submit financial information into IMPLAN, a software program used to calculate economic impacts of new developments. Over the three years, a yearand-a-half of construction and a year-and-a-half in operations, IMPLAN estimated that UNFI would generate approximately $142 million in economic impact.

Included in the IMPLAN estimation are the direct costs of the project, the amount of money that goes directly into the project, including labor cost, real estate, and construction material, but also the indirect economic impacts, including local businesses like restaurants and hotels. IMPLAN estimated the economic benefit to local businesses, and the companies that supply them would potentially

total approximately $60 million. Performance Food Group, formally Ledyard, has been in its current Santa Cruz location at 1005 17th Avenue since 1957 when Harry Ledyard founded the company. The company was sold in 2011 by former owner Richard Fontana of Scotts Valley to Performance Food Group, headquartered in Richmond Virginia, for $100 million, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

Testing crucial for local cannabis industry HOLLISTER ON ITS WAY TO BEING REGIONAL POT PRODUCTION HUB By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

At the Hollister City Council meeting early this month, council members approved plans for a cannabis testing lab, High Sierra Analytics, that is expected to draw business from cultivators and manufacturers from multiple counties. Owners expect demand for lab services to be high, because the closest testing laboratory

in the region is located in Santa Cruz, and nearby cannabis distribution businesses will benefit tremendously from the lab's proximity. “I started looking around a year-and-a-half ago, and the closest place we could find that was close to the Central Valley was Hollister,” Thomas Gromis, CEO and founder of High Sierra Analytics said. “Hollister is a great little town, and there’s a lot of business going there. The Bay Area market is strong.” Following the implementation of new cannabis laws on Jan. 1, new regulations to

test cannabis products came into effect. The tests, which include testing for potency, for the presence of heavy metals, pesticides, residual chemicals such as alcohol or microbial contamination, testing labs will serve an integral and ultimately, a legal necessity to do business. "It's our job to make sure the product is safe before it's ready for sale," Gromis said. "The tests are pretty intense, and we need to use some very intense machines and chemicals to do it." Intense as the methods are, the logistics surrounding

the pickup of samples, which require technicians from certified labs to pick up a distributor’s product, with video evidence to be sent to the state. Then the lab is required to test. “That’s a big reason why we wanted to find these underserved areas,” Gromis said. “If the closest testing lab is three hours away, collecting the samples are going to be very onerous. We also need to make sure the samples are separated scientifically. If you have a 50-pound batch, you need to make sure it’s separated into 10 different containers. That is all videotaped.” Tax rates in Hollister are

Logistically, Hollister by mid-year will have all key components of the cannabis industry: manufacturing, distribution, and testing.

Mi Pueblo rebranded as Cardenas COMPANY SAYS NO LAYOFFS ARE EXPECTED Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Bryce Stoepfel

Gilroyans will say adios to the old and bienvenido to the new, now that Mi Pueblo has become Cardenas in a Hispanic supermarket shakeup following the merger of the two companies last year in July. “The footprint of the store has a lot of changes coming,” said Cardenas Director of Public Relations Marco Robles. “There will be new products that are common in Cardenas stores, and there will be improvements in the service the customer can expect. We anticipate a great relationship with Gilroy and the surrounding area.” According to Robles, aside from the signage and some new products on the shelf, the status of the remaining 120 people strong workforce will be unchanged. “It is the same management team with some additional management at other levels,” Robles said. “Labor will be the same; we are not anticipating any layoffs. We want to see growth in our merger, and we’re looking to expand labor force. Our CEO has made that clear.” Cardenas, headquartered in Ontario California, is owned by

New York-based KKR, an investment firm that according to their website, “is a leading global investment firm that manages multiple alternative asset classes, including private equity, energy, infrastructure, real estate, credit and, through its strategic partners, hedge funds.” When KKR announced the merger last July, it declared that the two companies would operate as Cardenas Markets LLC, but each grocery chain would continue to operate independently under a single executive team under CEO, John Gomez. That period of independent management of Mi Pueblo stores appears to have ended. “This business is moving up in ways we wouldn’t have predicted,” Robles said. “We used to only think of cashiers and baggers in the grocery industry. Now we bring our own bags. Life has changed, and the way we shop has changed, and we are at that point of adapting to trends. We offer the opportunity to grow, and now we can offer that expansion of service.” KKR and Chicago-based Victory Capital Group bought both Cardenas and Mi Pueblo late in 2016, instantly becoming an industry leader in supermarkets that cater to Hispanic consumers. KKR currently owns 53 Cardenas Markets in three states; 43 in California, seven in Arizona and four in Nevada.

BIENVENIDO At the moment the changes are mostly cosmetic as the

labor force is expected to remain status quo says the company.

Business owners confront homelessness NEW INCIDENTS INCLUDE PHYSICAL ATTACKS AND VANDALISM Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The stabbing of a Gilroy restaurant owner by a homeless man in early January ignited new fears and frustrations among local business owners. Many small business owners feel they are bearing the brunt of what they see as a growing homeless population. Some of those concerns were vented two weeks after the stabbing, at a special study session of the city council. Others were raised in interviews in the weeks that followed, with no easy answer or solutions in sight. “They cut my fence out back, and they break into cars to steal change from the ashtrays,” said John Murphy, owner of Johnny’s Custom Auto Body on Welburn Avenue.”I’ve had the front windows of my building broken, which cost me about $700 to fix. And not once have any of them asked for a job. They may not be able to paint a car, but they could offer to sweep up for some extra money.” Murphy’s business, which he started in 1990, is near Pinnochio’s Pizza, scene of the January attack. Last Tuesday when he and his partner Alyssa Lehr arrived at work, they discovered a rock had been thrown through the front window, breaking not only the window but damaging a 62 Corvette. The damage, which prompted Murphy and Lehr to install motion sensor

lights and additional security cameras, cost them over $5,000. “By the time we’re done paying the deductible and the increased rates for insurance they’ll demand from us, it will cost us more to turn it in to our insurance company,” Murphy said. In his estimation, the homeless population of Gilroy has steadily increased over the past seven years. To Murphy, the stabbing of Sal Oliveri, who is recovering, has elevated what has been a costly nuisance for him into a matter of safety for his wife, son and eight employees. “I’m a lot more worried about my wife, now that that happened just down the street—it could have easily happened to us,” Murphy said. “I’m a pretty big guy, and I can take care of myself. I’m not the kind of guy that will back down. I’ve trained my wife and son to be careful and lock the gates when they’re here alone.” Solutions to homelessness have eluded U.S. cities since before the Great Depression and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. While President Johnson’s plan was foiled in part by the Vietnam War, homeless people in localities such as Gilroy depend more on the charity of local organizations such as the Compassion Center than government programs. Many Gilroy business owners such as Murphy believe that services are offered to homeless people actually attract more homeless people to Gilroy. “We heard many different options at City Hall that night, and I don’t disagree with what the Compassion Center does; but, I

Recently, a rock was thrown through their front window, damaging a 1962 Corvette. don’t think they’re comprehending the impact it has on other people,” Murphy said. Behind ExtraSpace Storage the West Branch Llagas Creek, a regular homeless encampment has been in place for several years. The campers there, who say they have nowhere else to go, have been served with a red tag, which warned them to vacate the area by Friday. For ExtraSpace Storage Store Manager Mike Lopez, some of the residents behind his business have proven to be nuisances over the years. “One day a guy came by with a machete and was banging on the door,” Lopez said. “He came back later that night and did the same thing. My family and I live above the office here.” One business owner, who declined to be named in part of the

fear of reprisal, said he has been attacked at his business twice. “This goes way beyond a news article,” he said. “Yes, I was attacked twice, and I’ve had things stolen from my business. With the drugs and the theft, the city needs to do something about this immediately.” The experience of many Gilroy business owners is not shared with some business owners in Morgan Hill. Renee Carrillo, owner of GVA Cafe Bistro Music Catering in downtown Morgan Hill has had little negative interaction with homeless people in her business. “I haven’t had any trouble here,” said Renee Carrillo, owner of GVA Café Bistro. “We really don’t have much of an issue in downtown Morgan Hill, and I’m not sure why.” Recent statistics released by the Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey Report

anplumbinginc.isoars.com

reported a 13 percent increase in “unsheltered homeless,” representing a 379 percent increase from 2015 when the homeless county went from 81 to 388 in 2017. “We have a gentleman who comes in here sometimes, but he doesn’t cause any issues,” Carrillo said. “He’s not fully aware socially, and I had a conversation with him about not bothering customers, but he understood, and he doesn’t bother anybody. He comes to the Bible study we have on Tuesdays.” Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing said in July that the number of homeless might be inflated. “If you were to ask any of our officers, they would tell you they have seen the increase in our homeless population in Morgan Hill,” Swing said. “Would they tell you it went up by 379 percent? That seems like a high percentage to me.”

Kids learn science skills at Pebble Beach SOUTHSIDE SCHOOL STUDENTS STUDY TECHNOLOGY By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Submitted

The annual Pebble Beach ProAm golf tournament is more than one of the premier stops on the Professional Golf Association Tour. It also is an important source of money for San Benito County charities and a venue for learning opportunities for some Hollister fifth- and sixth-grade students. The tournament raises millions for charities and is the main source of income for the Monterey Bay Community Foundation. Last year, the foundation’s philanthropic footprint totaled $12.8 million. The foundation’s 167 awards included almost $500,000 for non-profits in San Benito County. On the first day of the Feb.811 tourney, as professional golfers and their amateur teammates headed out on the course, 50 students from Southside Elementary School in Hollister headed into a temporary classroom off the 3rd fairway.

The student entered a world of technology, where they made videos, and applied math skills to the world of golf. They learned about the physics of the golf swing and saw real-world applications for the science and technology. The Hollister students were among nearly 2,000 who attended the STEM sessions sponsored by Chevron at the Pebble Beach tournament. The largest awards from the foundation for San Benito County last year supported: the Community Food Bank of San Benito County , $125,000; Hazel Hawkins Hospital, $115,000 for its Diabetes Center, and the Hollister Youth Alliance, $150,000. Margie Barrios (former San Benito County Supervisor) joined the foundation’s grants committee in December. The foundation also funds groups that serve San Benito County, but are based in Santa Cruz or Monterey County, including the Seniors Council’s Foster Grandparents Program, the Sun Street Center’s capital project for a Women’s Residential Center for drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Hollister.

State cycling tour comes to Morgan Hill CITY WILL CO-HOST AMGEN TOUR OF CALIFORNIA TIME TRIAL Nicholas Preciado Reporter

Nick Preciado

TIME TRIAL The City of Morgan Hill held a press conference Feb. 8 to announce the region’s participation

in the 2018 Amgen Tour of California, a statewide cycling race.

the “Race of Truth,” where riders take off individually in a time trial. The 21.6mile route will feature one moderate climb, with the start and finish within a few feet from each other on Monterey Road. Wind could be a factor on the route. The course will head out of Morgan Hill on Dunne Avenue and then pick up on Oak Glen Road around the north side of Chesbro Reservoir to McKean Road to Bailey Avenue to Santa Teresa Boulevard. From there, riders will head due south onto Hale Avenue and finish on Monterey Road. “For a rider, the time trial is the hardest event because you can’t give a second away,” said Amgen Ambassador Freddie Rodriguez, a former professional cyclist and fourtime U.S. Pro Champion. “It’s a 21-mile race and you can lose a lot of time if

you’re not ready and prepared for it.” Stage 4 is a valuable day in the statewide cycling race where the leader board can see dramatic changes and every second counts. Riders with top times coming out of the day will still have to defend their positions over the next three stages as the event leaves the local region. “Our community has totally embraced this event, bicycling fits so well with our culture and is part of what we do,” Tate said. “If only we could declare May 16 a holiday for all Morgan Hill residents, so they can partake as firsthand observers.” Morgan Hill is locally hailed as a community that values health and fitness. Cycling is part of the community with Specialized Bicycle Components, a titan in cycling technology, headquartered in Morgan Hill. “Here at Specialized, we

love cycling and we love Morgan Hill,” CEO Mike Sinyard said. “We are super excited to watch Peter Sagan and the best riders in the world right here in our beautiful hometown.” On Dec. 20, the Morgan Hill City Council unanimously approved expenses up to $55,000 for local costs associated with the May 16 time trial. Most of these costs will cover traffic control, road closures and related public safety expenses, but a portion (up to $15,000) will go toward efforts to market and promote Morgan Hill during the event’s worldwide broadcast. Cities that agree to host the Amgen Tour are required to cover these expenses, according to organizers. Residents and visitors to the event can sign up to be notified and updated on the event at morganhill. ca.gov/atoc.

Nick Preciado

Organizers of the 2018 Amgen Tour of California on Thursday formally announced the news that has excited local cycling enthusiasts, city officials and tourism proponents for several weeks—the statewide cycling tour will sweep through Morgan Hill on May 16. “The Amgen Tour of California is the most important cycling race in the United States, one of the most prestigious and most watched races in the world,” Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate said on Feb. 8. The city held a press conference to welcome the event in front of the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center, just in front of where the May 16 time trial starting line will be located. Morgan Hill will partner with San Jose to host the Stage 4 Individual Time Trial during the race, put on by owner and presenter AEG for the 13th year in a row. This is the 12th year San Jose has hosted the Amgen Tour of California since the race started in 2006. “We’re delighted once again to be part of it,” District 10 San Jose City Councilman Johnny Khamis said during Thursday’s press conference. “We have a very large and growing bicycle culture in San Jose. There are many bicycle enthusiasts and we are building bicycle infrastructure all over our city.” The cycling stage race covers 645 miles of California roadways, highways and coastlines during seven stages that stretch from Long Beach up to Sacramento from May 13 to 19. Cyclists will come to Morgan Hill on Wednesday, May 16 for Stage 4, which spans 21.6 miles. This will be the third Time Trial contested race on the outskirts of Silicon Valley. Morgan Hill will host the start and finish of

attendance boundary over the next decade, according to Flores. “We need additional capacity. That’s what started the discussion,” said Flores, noting that the existing portables are nearly 30 years old and in poor condition so the decision was an easy one to go with a new math building. “This way we are replacing

them and adding capacity at the same time.” The committee chose the modular construction “in order to get the building up as fast as possible,” Flores added. While the foundation is put in on campus, the building is constructed off site and then delivered to Gilroy High. “The goal is to have it done by

August so the teachers can occupy their new classrooms and the district can handle the increased student enrollment at Gilroy High School,” said Flores, who is also planning a late July grand opening ceremony for the two-story math building. “It’s thanks to the support of the Gilroy community that we were able to do this.” The district began renovating

Gilroy High School over the last five to six years, according to Flores. Some of the work done over that time includes a new science lab, new quad, new parking lot with solar, new track and field, new stadium bleachers, archway entrances in the front and back, redesigned dropoff area in the front of campus, and fresh paint inside and out.

“We’ve been renovating and rebuilding portions of the entire campus to bring it up to more equity with Christopher High School,” said Flores, noting the district plans to redo all of the blacktop area from the parking lot to the new building. “That’s the very last thing. It’s going to look like a brand new campus when we finish.”

FLOOR GENERAL Christopher High junior guard Travis Romero looks to make a play in last Friday’s 82-63 win over crosstown rival Gilroy High. Cougars coach Derek Jensen said Romero is an extension of the coaching staff on the court. KACHEL AND ROMERO PLAY WITH A CHIP ON SHOULDER emanuel lee Sports Editor

Andrew Kachel and Travis Romero grew up playing sports together, forming a strong bond and creating a wealth of memories in the process. They share plenty in common, but most notably this: They go into every game with a chip—check that, a boulder—on their shoulders. The Christopher High juniors are two-sport standouts in baseball and basketball, and they flatout compete. “I’m not at a disadvantage playing center at all,” the 5-foot-11, 160-pound Kachel said. “I feel like I’m one of the most physical guys out there, and I think my stats show it. I play with a lot of heart, which is more important. Heart gets you rebounds and loose balls. Height only gets you so much. Height doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t play with heart. The guys on the other team don’t expect me to get any rebounds, but I’m out here getting rebounds all over these guys. I shock them—I shock myself sometimes.” Said Romero: “We like to do the dirty work, whether it’s taking charges or fighting for rebounds. The greatest challenge I’ve overcome is my height (Romero is 5-6), understanding my role and turning that into my strength. People don’t expect me to do things with how small I am. They don’t expect me to jump high, to run fast or how hard I play on the inside.” Kachel and Romero’s mentality of having something to prove every time they step on the court has helped the Christopher High boys basketball team to four straight wins entering Wednesday’s Monterey Bay League

Pacific Division game against Pajaro Valley. The Cougars (13-9 overall, 6-4 league) are seemingly peaking at the perfect time, as evidenced by an 82-63 win over rival Gilroy last Friday. Cougars senior Dean Tognetti had another monster game, finishing with a game-high 33 points. If Christopher manages to beat North Salinas in its regular-season finale on Friday, they will have avenged all four of its league losses in succession—quite a remarkable feat. Grit is Christopher’s talent, and the Cougars have it in abundance. It’s no wonder coach Derek Jensen raves about players like Kachel and Romero.

Competitor

“Every time Andrew steps on the floor, he is ready to bang and compete,” Jensen said. “He is a difference maker. There is no other way to put it. He does all the little things right. He rebounds extremely well, he passes well, he can finish inside and out, he is a great defender and he is, just like Travis, an extremely unselfish player that really understands the game.” Jensen noted the players’ grind-it-out mentality, and how that manifests on the court. It’s no wonder Jensen feels great about his team. “Kids like Travis are extremely rare,” Jensen said. “Kids that want to win more than see themselves put up big stats. Kids that care more about the team than themselves. Kids that are humble, want to learn and improve from it. Our defenses and offenses all start with Travis. He does not care if he gets a steal on defense or if his teammates get it; he just wants the steal. … He is such a fierce and unselfish competitor. Anytime we have a team issue, I go to Travis first. He

For the first time in 11 years, Gilroy High School will have a fresh set of inductees into its Athletic Association Hall of Fame. The 2018 Hall of Fame class will be honored first at Friday’s home basketball game and then on Saturday for a dinner and ceremony at Hecker Pass Winery. Gilroy High Athletic Director Jami Reynolds and Sal Tomasello played a vital role in re-starting the Hall of Fame, pointing to all of the positives that are associated with recognizing the school’s best in sports, supporters and administration. “We’re trying to build relationships back,” said Reynolds, who also serves as a community service coordinator. “Right now there is a disconnect, and it shows in that we don’t have many fans anymore. There used to be a ton of fans. We have five league champions so far (in the 2017-2018 school year), but our fan base is really low. Building relationships is the key to getting that fan base back.” This year’s list of inductees—the last Hall of Fame class to be recognized was in 2007— includes former athletes, coaches and administrators like Tomasello, Gena Sakahara Gonzales, Michael MacDonald (class of ‘84), Chris Gimenez, Edwin Diaz Jr., Jesse Delgado, Jay Baksa, the late Dushan Angius Jr., Bria DeLorenzo and Chuck Ogle, who coached football and wrestling from 1981 to 2014.

is such a great kid with such a great head on his shoulders.” Even though the Cougars are in the midst of a season that could include a strong Central Coast Section playoff run, their chances would’ve been hindered had Kachel ultimately decided not to play. That was actually a reality last summer—for about a week. That week seemed like an eternity for Jensen, who tried his best to convince Kachel that playing basketball again would be beneficial in a variety of ways. After Kachel had made up his mind last summer that he was going to forego basketball to focus on baseball—the sport he will potentially play in college—Jensen figured he would be one key player short come hoops season. “Thank goodness for us (that Andrew changed his mind),” Jensen said. It was actually another childhood friend—teammate Anthony Burns— who is largely responsible for Kachel playing on the team this season.

“Anthony made a bet that if I played basketball, he would try out for the baseball team even though he hadn’t touched a bat or ball in six years,” Kachel said. “I love Anthony, and I’ve known him since rookie league. I’m glad he did that, because I’m not regretting my decision to play basketball again.”

Strong play

Kachel, who is second in the MBL in rebounding and fourth in steals, has been particularly strong lately, averaging 13 rebounds, 13 steals and 3 steals in a sizzling threegame stretch, all victories. Romero did nothing but work in the off-season, a big reason why his game has made tremendous progress in that time. A year ago, Romero averaged 2 points per game. This season, the point guard is averaging 10 points a game. Romero has a keen eye for the game, a big reason why Jensen will go to him to talk about important matters regarding the team. “As a point guard, my

role is to be the coach’s eyes on the court, the second set of eyes,” he said. “I know I don’t score a lot, but I contribute to the team by moving the ball, setting up plays and creating chances for everyone. We always want to make sure everyone is on the same page.” Kachel and Romero have shared plenty of memorable moments over the years, and they plan on creating more this season. There is no doubt Christopher can win a game or two— and if everything breaks right, possibly more— in the playoffs. And it all begins with a certain type of dogged attitude that Kachel and Romero display daily. “How could I not play with a chip on my shoulder? I’m 5-11 going up against centers above 6 feet,” Kachel said. “Our season has been defined by us having more heart than anyone. Someone has to earn the win against us; we won’t give it to them.” Of that, there is no doubt.

Gilroy crowns 8 champions in MBLs CHRISTOPHER’S ANTHONY GOMEZ ALSO WINS A TITLE IN LEAGUE FINALS Jeb Goldman Correspondent

and Rutgers Collegecommit Nic Aguilar (120 pounds), Alex Felix (132), Tony Andrade (195) and Nick Villarreal (285), all of whom won by pinfall. Freshman Jayden Gomez (106, 12-2 major decision), Daniel Vizcarra (138 6-0 decision), Nathan Villarreal (145), and Fox (152 16-0) also won titles. Christoher High had one champion in senior Anthony Gomez, who won the 285-pound division, producing a pin over Gilroy’s Nicholas Villarreal with 20 seconds left in the match.

IN CONTROL Dan Vizcarra was one of eight Gilroy High wrestlers who won individual

titles at last Friday’s Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division Championships.

Nail-biter

Trailing 2-1, Gomez caught Villarreal out of position to score the pin and win in thrilling fashion. The runner-up in at 220 pounds last year, Gomez is focusing on taking titles at the CCS Championships and a podium finish in the CIF State Championships. Though the countless hours before and after school on the mat certainly played a huge role on this massive victory for Gilroy, Varela is convinced that there is something more going on behind the scenes that make the program so successful. “What’s happened is we go through our culture of winning and success, a brotherhood, it’s a culture of brotherhood and family, not just of winning and losing,” he said. “I think that’s what makes it easier for our guys to succeed, because there’s not so much pressure to win.” Though Varela acknowledges that there are certainly pros and cons to

Chris Mora

For nearly two decades, Gilroy High has been the premier wrestling program in the Central Coast Section, collecting an unrivaled 15 consecutive Central Coast Section championships. The Mustangs also have another ongoing streak, just as long and as impressive in the Monterey Bay League Finals. And if a 16th consecutive MBL title is any indication, a 16th consecutive CCS title could be in the cards as well. The Mustangs took the tournament with a score of 360 points, a staggering 139.5 points ahead of their nearest competitor, San Benito High. Gilroy wrestlers took first place in 8 of the 14 weight classes, with 11 athletes getting to their respective weight class finals. Streaks were a recurring theme at the league finals. Just ask sophomore Chase Saldate, who notched his second straight MBL title, pinning Monte Vista Christian’s Eddie Zamora at the 3:46 mark in the 126-pound championship match. “I wasn’t too nervous just because I wrestled that kid last year in my quarterfinals match at CCS,” he said. “But once the match started, it kind of hit me that our team is always trying to rack up as many points as possible.” However, it didn’t take long for Saldate to realize that more was riding on his match than he had

previously expected. “As soon as the match started, I realized that, ‘Oh, I really need to pin this kid and get as many points as I can for the team,’ just because our 115-pounder had previously lost,” he said. “So that put a little bit of pressure on me. But after I got the first couple of takedowns, I didn’t really have any pressure at all.” Saldate’s attention will turn to the CCS Championships on Feb. 23 at Independence High. After coming within inches of a CCS title last year, Saldate is looking to go all the way this year after his massive MBL win. When asked about what his ambitions for the rest of the postseason were, he confidently remarked, “Oh, state champs for sure. Definitely racking up CCS champ. My goal is to pin everyone through CCS and then definitely get to state and win it there.” There’s no arguing that Gilroy is one of the most talented teams in the state, a testament to the coaching and leadership of coach Greg Varela, who has overseen the program since 2009. “It was a good tournament, we wrestled well,” said Varela. “We’re coming down to the end of our season. The stakes are high and our team is good about handling the pressure, sticking together, with the older guys helping the younger guys.” The supportive environment seems to be working, with Gilroy posting an impressive list of first place finishers, including senior

being the undisputed best team in the CCS, he still makes sure to focus on providing the athletes with an environment that they feel comfortable with and can excel in. “It’s not a business, we’re not just punching a clock, coming in here and working,” he said. “It’s a brotherhood: they love each other, lean on each other.” Even though the Mustangs have enjoyed

utter and complete dominance at the upcoming CCS Championships for the past 15 years, Varela still stresses to the team about the importance of competition and never taking anyone lightly. “For CCS, it’s getting tougher every year,” he said. “Our guys have personal goals, we have team goals and going into CCS we want to come out healthy. No. 1, we want to get to state; they only take
