Gilroy man dies in police custody TRESPASS SUSPECT FLEES POLICE, DIES AFTER CHASE Michael Moore Reporter

Multiple agencies are investigating the death of longtime Gilroy resident Steven Juarez, who died

after a struggle with local police near the city’s downtown on Feb. 25. Juarez died after officers from the Gilroy Police Department chased him on foot through an east Gilroy neighborhood, then used a Taser and a neck hold on him in an effort to subdue him. Police added that Juarez

might have fallen from a roof just before he began to struggle with officers. Authorities as of Wednesday had not identified Juarez by name, but his friends and family members have. On Feb. 26, the Gilroy Police Department said in a statement that the man— who officers were pursuing in

response to a report of a suspicious person on Chestnut Street—was 42 years old. The Santa Clara County Coroner and District Attorney’s Office, along with Gilroy Police, are investigating the death and the circumstances leading up to it. Gilroy Police Capt. Joseph Deras said Feb. 27 that the

seven officers who responded to the Feb. 25 call that ended in Juarez’ death, acted “appropriately and lawfully” in their attempt to arrest him. All of the officers involved in the incident remain on active duty, Deras said. ➝ Police Death, 11

LOCAL SCENE Tractor trailer causes westside power outage Several thousand residents on the west side Gilroy were left without power Monday morning after a tractor trailer struck PG&E electrical equipment and caused a power outage. Around 8:20am on Feb. 26, a third party tractor trailer backed into electrical equipment at the Cambridge Place housing development off Wren Ave. Overhead telephone lines swayed and sparked up and down the street after the impact. Nearly 4,500 customers were affected at the peak of the power outage. PG&E crews restored the majority of the customers less than 20 minutes after the start of the outage, said PG&E Spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian. He said the outage was fully restored at approximately 10am.

DOWNTOWN DAVE Dave Armitage, shown at a recent event on Fifth Street in Gilroy.

Friends aid ‘Downtown Dave’ HOMELESS MAN KEEPS CITY STREETS CLEAN By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

58015 02001

In case you spotted litter on the streets of downtown Gilroy in the past week, it’s not Downtown Dave’s fault. Dave Armitage, the goodnatured self-appointed sidewalk sweeper for Monterey Street and assorted side streets for more than a decade, is recuperating in a Morgan Hill skilled nursing facility. Dave wants to let folks know that he is doing fine, thanks to several of his guardian angels— local business people. “I tripped over a high spot in the sidewalk on First Street, and

landed on my knee cap, then last week a couple of skateboarders pushed me and I fell on the same knee,” he said from his bed in Pacific Hill Manor this week. The 64-year-old Gilroy native is undergoing physical therapy, and is securing treatment for an infection in his leg injury. He said he won’t be released until the leg heals and he can walk again. One bright spot for Dave this week—courtesy of Cindy Parks of the Gilroy Downtown Association—was a telephone call to one of his sisters, Peggy Daugherty of Red Bluff. Dave had not seen her or spoken with his youngest sister since the 2016 funeral of their father Ed, a retired California Highway Patrol officer who had served for years in the Gilroy area. The conversation

brought a smile to his ruddy face. “I didn’t know where he was— we write letters to his post office box—and it’s so good to know people there are taking care of him,” Daugherty said later. Things definitely weren’t rosy for Dave in mid-February, when Yolanda Casteneda, owner of the Fifth Street Coffee Roasting Company, spotted him sleeping on a Fifth Street bench in subfreezing morning temperatures. Dave usually sleeps on benches in the downtown area. She said Dave often helps her in the morning, putting her chairs and tables outside the popular coffee shop on Monterey Street. On this morning, Feb 17, he appeared listless. “He looked really exhausted— he wouldn’t eat or drink anything,” she said. She was worried that he

might not survive the cold, so she called around, and Dave’s army of downtown angels went to work. Gardner Health Services examined his leg, and Castaneda paid for him to stay a couple of nights at a downtown motel. Mafalda’s Bridal Shop pitched in to help, and Visiting Angels lined up a nurse to help him at the motel. By the end of the week, the Gardner clinic got him a referral to the Morgan Hill nursing facility, out of the cold and into treatment. “This was like a little miracle in our town,” said Parks, describing the way folks pitched in to help Dave. Dave said he is eager to get back to work. “I know what day every dumpster in downtown Gilroy is dumped,” he said. “I walk all over town and get everything cleaned up.”

is allowing the construction of several new infill projects like the 104-unit affordable-living apartment complex known as the Cannery at 111 Lewis Street, and the $700,00 single-familyhome Cambridge Place development on Wren Avenue just south of the Gilroy Armory. The infill projects fill vacant space within city limits compared to expanding regional borders and are in line with Measure H, a growth control measure approved by over 66 percent of Gilroy voters in 2016. Despite the City Council’s 5-2 rejecting an extension of a residential development ordinance 5-2, which essentially slows growth until the adoption of the next General Plan, these projects will contribute crucial units in a statewide housing crisis. “Gilroy I believe is doing more than our fair share right now,” Velasco said. “We have many approved projects, but are under construction. Those numbers are not counted until they are completed. While on the surface it might seem like we are behind, in reality we are at or doing better than what is required.”

“The state of the city is good,” said GIlroy Mayor Roland Velasco this week. The mayor discussed the city’s status as he was putting the finishing touches on a “State of the City” presentation set for Thursday, March 1, at 6pm at a Chamber of Commerce event at Old City Hall. He also is scheduled to give a free public presentation of his report on Saturday, March 3, at 10 a.m. in the Gilroy City Council chambers at City Hall, 7351 Rosanna Street. “We are financially healthy, making investments for our future,” Velasco said. “Those future investments will pay off in terms of better services for our residents in the long term.” “We are recovering” from the recession of 2008, Velasco said. “One of the the challenges for the city is the service demand that we are still experiencing.” “Since the Great Recession, the population of Gilroy has continued to grow, but the number

of employees to provide services to residents has not kept pace with the population growth.” Velasco, a GIlroy native, previously served on the Gilroy City Council from 1997 to 2007 and again in 2014. He was elected to his first four-year as mayor in 2016. He said Gilroy is working to change its image as a bedroom community. The downtown has seen recent additions to longempty storefronts over the years, such as Golden State Brewery, Bartenders Union, Lazo Firearms and Consulting, and Book Buyers. As mayor, Velasco has strived to draw more attention to the need for growth in the local business community. “I think what I want to do is raise awareness regarding the importance of economic development in Gilroy,” Velasco said. “Housing development by itself does not pay the bills. We need a multi-prong approach to making sure the long term financial sustainability of the city is there so we have to talk about economic development, what that means, and what we can do.” While housing development might not pay the bills, this city

Police arrest man for three sex assaults GIANNI FILICE IN CUSTODY AT SANTA CLARA COUNTY JAIL Staff report

Gilroy Police arrested an 18-year-old local man last week on suspicion of sexually assaulting at least

three people, and investigators think even more have been victimized by the same suspect. Police received the first report of a possible sexual assault committed by Gianni Filice, a Gilroy resident, in March 2017, according to a press release from Gilroy Police Department. Police investigated the

allegation and obtained an arrest warrant for Filice. As police continued to investigate, two more victims came forward and reported Filice had also assaulted them, according to authorities. In each case, Filice established a relationship with the victims before he assaulted them, police said.

Filice is currently in custody at Santa Clara County Jail. Police added that they think there might be more victims of Filice’s who have not come forward or been identified. The Gilroy Police Department is encouraging anyone who was a victim to make a report. Victims can contact GPD at (408) 846-0350.

Police think there might be more victims who have not come forward or been identified.

DEBIT

A statewide initiative to ask voters to change portions of three crimerelated laws is picking up steam in Santa Clara County, and is soon expected to reach San Benito County. Over the last week and a half, both the Morgan Hill City Council and Gilroy City Council passed support resolutions for a Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, which would change portions of voterapproved Proposition 47 and 57, as well as Assembly Bill 109, to reclassify current “nonviolent” crimes as “violent” to prevent the early release of inmates convicted of various sex and assault crimes. The initiative also aims to reform the parole system to stop early release of violent felons, expand parolee oversight, strengthen penalties for parole violations, reform theft laws, and expand DNA collection for drug, theft, domestic violence, and other crimes. It is supported by the California Police Chiefs Association, The California District Attorney’s Association, and the Peace Officers Research Association of California. “The bottom line is I think that if we can find ways to rehabilitate people, that is fantastic. I completely support that,” Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said Tuesday. “The idea of this [initiative] is not aimed at those people. It is aimed at those who do not choose to avail themselves of those opportunities and continue to choose a life of crime. There needs to be consequences to deal with those people.” Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco spent a few hours Saturday morning at First Street Coffee helping residents collect signatures for the new initiative, which needs 365,880 signatures by August to qualify for the November election. Over 100 signatures were gathered in two hours, he said.

Velasco said he supports the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018 because of the ill effects of Prop 47, 57, and AB 109. “It is creating havoc in cities up and down the state,” Velasco said Tuesday. “It is impacting the quality of life of our residents. It is becoming a strain on public safety services.” California voters approved Proposition 47 in November 2014, which reduced certain drug possession felonies to misdemeanors and also required misdemeanor sentencing for petty theft, receiving stolen property, and forging or writing bad checks all to the amount of $950 or less. Prior to Prop 47, the dollar threshold for theft to be considered a felony was $450. “If someone comes into your house and steals something from you, as long as the value is less than $950, if we caught and arrested them we would give them a citation ticket and let them go,” Smithee said. “They could come back and do the same thing and still get the same ticket. It does not matter how many times. The result is never going to be more than getting a ticket and let go again because there is no sanction for how many times something has been done. It is each a separate case.” Former Gilroy Police Officer and current Hollister City Councilman Jim Gillio is another supporter of the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018. “Over the past several years we have had Proposition 47 and Proposition 57 that have essentially, in an administrative way, decriminalized certain crimes,” Gillio said by phone Monday. “Certain violent crimes have been lowered, so you are eligible for early release. Administratively, so you are eligible for early release is what I mean by lowered.” California voters approved Proposition 57 in November 2016, which allowed parole consideration for nonviolent felons, authorized credit-earning opportunities for good behavior, and changed some

juvenile prosecution policies. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Proposition 57 moved up parole consideration for nonviolent offenders who served the full term of a primary offense sentence and demonstrated their release to the community would not pose an unreasonable risk of violence. “The overall intent of both Prop 47 and 57 was to increase the opportunities for rehabilitation and try to minimize mass incarceration, but there were unintended consequences,” Gillio said. The Hollister councilman is currently working with Acting Chief of Police Carlos Reynoso to have a support resolution for the new initiative placed on the next city council meeting on March 5. “I will present it to the city council for their consideration,” Reynoso said. “If passed, all we are asking for is their support in getting this initiative on the ballot and letting the citizens of our community and the state vote on it.” San Benito County Sheriff Darren Thompson, who supports the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, said he hopes to approach the San Benito County Board of Supervisors in the near future to see if they would support the initiative. “The previous measures, Proposition 47, 57, and AB 109, are designed to reduce state prison population, they are not designed to increase public safety,” Thompson said. “Certainly some adjustments are in order to those original measures.” Velasco said he hopes the initiative will be able to collect enough signatures to go before voters statewide in November. “Hopefully California voters will support this proposition,” he said. “I think it will go a long way in making sure that people who should be locked up, are locked up.” For more information on the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, visit www. keepCALsafe.org.

Full disclosure needed

national debate has ensued over the use of police force to control subjects who resist arrest and may be dangerous to others. Officers regularly use electronic weapons, spray, physical blows or holds to subdue these uncooperative persons. In the field, public safety personnel must make quick decisions on which option to use with individuals who may be emotionally disturbed, aggressive or under the influence of drugs. A stun gun or cayenne pepper compound may not incapacitate a substance abuser who’s feeling no pain. That’s why police officers will at times deploy what’s known as a “carotid restraint control hold,” a headlock that renders a suspect unconscious within a matter of seconds by restricting the flow of blood to his or her brain. Methods intended as non-lethal can

result in in-custody deaths if improperly applied. These unplanned tragedies bereave families, divide communities, traumatize police departments and cost local governments money. The death of Steven Juarez following a chase by Gilroy Police has brought mourning to a family and the debate over use of force to our community. All officer-involved deaths need to be fully investigated, and this one is no exception. The facts should be brought forward, fully and transparently. The police department should release any body camera footage, 911 recordings and other evidence it has in its possession to be reviewed independently. The community expects answers. Good information is the best way to evaluate police practices and achieve closure. Without that, any conclusions are premature and questions will continue.

picture of U.S. agriculture, census data are then relied on when making important decisions about farm policy, disaster relief, loan programs, research, technology development, infrastructure improvements, and more. Trade associations, extension educators, agribusinesses, even farmers and ranchers themselves have used census data in support of American agriculture. For nearly 30 years, the Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program has been the primary tool to help historically underserved producers gain access to USDA’s credit, commodity, conservation, and other services. In the four years of the 2008 Farm Bill, the program received $75 million in mandatory funds, about $18 million per year.

here’s still time. To ensure an accurate representation of the agriculture industry in this country, the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service has extended their 2017 Census of Agriculture response deadline through spring, and the Rural Coalition/Coalición Rural is calling on all farmers and ranchers to participate. Small and minority producers need policymakers to continue to respect their value. According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, small farms make up 88 percent of all U.S. farms. It’s data like this that demonstrate economic importance. With a new Farm Bill around the corner, this is the time to be counted.

The Santa Clara County Board of Education selected former Saratoga mayor and current Healthier Kids Foundation CEO Kathleen King to fill the vacancy left behind by former trustee Michael Chang, who unexpectedly resigned from his Trustee Area 2 seat late last year. The board made the appointment at a Feb. 13 special meeting held at the Santa Clara County Office of Education. King will serve as a provisional appointment that will run until the term of office expires in November 2018, according to the SCCOE announcement. “We are pleased to welcome Kathleen to the County Board of Education, and we look forward to working together,”

Juarez, beloved by family, had rap sheet Michael Moore Reporter

Steven Abraham Juarez, a longtime Gilroy resident with deep ties to the area who died after a struggle with police on Feb. 25, will be remembered as a loyal friend and family member with a good sense of humor and funloving demeanor. Gilroy Police and other law enforcement authorities knew Juarez, who was 42 at the time of his death Sunday night, from numerous arrests and criminal court proceedings over the years. Juarez’ cousin, Rebeca Armendariz, also a Gilroy resident, admitted in a phone interview with the Dispatch that Steven Juarez was “no angel.” “But he wasn’t some kind of hardened violent criminal,” Armendariz said. “He was a big-hearted, easygoing person,” said Armendariz, adding that she just saw him last weekend at a family barbecue. “It’s really hard for his mom, and his brothers and sisters.” Juarez left behind five sons age 6 to 22, according to a gofundme page set up to raise funds for his funeral expenses. Armendariz said these children include young twin boys. “Steven was a son, brother, father, uncle and friend to many,” reads the page, which can be found online at gofundme.com/ steven-juarezs-funeral-fund. At the time of his death, Juarez did not have a permanent residence and had been staying at different friends’ and family members’ homes in Gilroy, according to Armendariz. Juarez was welcomed with open arms into many homes in the Chestnut Avenue neighborhood where police say a resident reported him as a suspicious person before officers arrived, chased him and then struggled with him in an effort to arrest

him. That struggle ended in Juarez’ death. Armendariz said others in the neighborhood often let him sleep on their couches and play with their kids. “Steven wasn’t an unknown person that we would have called the cops on,” she said. By Feb. 26, residents and family members created a memorial to Juarez outside a home on the 7400 block of Chestnut Street, where the struggle with Gilroy Police occurred. Flowers and a cross with Juarez’ name were placed at the memorial. Another cousin of Juarez’, Marina Martinez, of Morgan Hill, placed a cross at the site Tuesday. She said when she lived in Gilroy with her father, Juarez made it a routine to loyally stop by just to “hang out with my dad. He always checked up on my dad,” Martinez said. “He’s a really good guy. A really happy guy,” she continued. “We’ll miss him. He always makes you laugh. He was a free spirit.” Gloria Olmos, a friend who has known Juarez since they attended school together at South Valley Middle School in Gilroy, wept as she placed flowers at the memorial Feb. 27. Olmos, like others who knew Juarez, was upset about the way he died. “They treated him like he was nothing,” she said. She added, “He was loved.” Gilroy Police Capt. Joseph Deras Wednesday continued to decline to identify the man who died after a struggle with his officers. But he said the department is “quite familiar with a Steven Juarez.” While Deras said he couldn’t discuss the details of Gilroy Police’s history with Juarez, a review of court records and newspaper archives reveals he

STEVEN JUAREZ Steven Juarez is pictured with his sister, Monica Juarez ( far left), and mother, Martha Silos. was arrested numerous times over the years. A search of court records at the Morgan Hill Courthouse brought up 20 cases from 1997 to 2017 in which Juarez faced criminal charges. These include misdemeanors and felonies. He has faced charges related to drug possession, trespassing, driving under the influence and other vehicle code violations. One of his case files, from 2001, reveals police suspected him of affiliating with the Norteno street gang. In that case, he was accused of attempted murder in a gang-related stabbing in January 2001. Juarez was ultimately not convicted of

a crime in that case, after spending months in jail. At the conclusion of his preliminary hearing in early 2002, the judge determined the authorities did not have enough evidence to take him to trial, and he was released from custody, according to the court file. The stabbing victim in that case, Carlos Gonzalez, told police he was not a gang member, but Juarez and three other suspects in the stabbing thought he was affiliated with the rival Sureno gang, according to the court file. Juarez and the other three suspects allegedly followed him to a home on Eigleberry Street in

downtown Gilroy, according to the court file. The suspects and victim began a shoving match, which escalated to more violence and a knife attack on Gonzalez. The court file does not indicate that Juarez was the one who wielded the knife. Eight of the cases on file for Juarez have been “purged” from the court records system. These cases occurred 2002 to 2012. A search of the Gilroy Dispatch website brings up numerous instances of his name appearing in the “police blotter” over the years. These include arrests on suspicion of controlled substances and a probation violation.

Police say officer used ‘carotid restraint’ Police Death, 1

Officers began to use “less-lethal force” techniques to take the man into custody, according to police. These methods included the use of an electronic control device (Taser), physical force and a “carotid restraint” on his neck, according to Gilroy police. Seven Gilroy police officers were in the neighborhood responding to the call by the time police made contact with Juarez, Deras said. He said a single officer used both the Taser and carotid restraint on Juarez. At one point during the struggle—after the carotid-restraint hold was applied—the officers noticed the man was in medical distress, the Feb. 26 press release states. The officers initiated first aid, which Gilroy Fire Department personnel took over when they arrived at the scene. A cell phone video from a neighbor, acquired by Juarez’ cousin Rebeca Armendariz, shows Juarez on a stretcher, surrounded by police and firefighters and being lifted from the ground in the front yard of a home on Chestnut Street into an ambulance. Authorities transported Juarez to a nearby hospital with a trauma center, where he was pronounced dead, according to police. A carotid restraint is a “higher level of force” that Gilroy Police officers are approved to use “when you’re running out of options” to take an uncooperative suspect into custody, Deras said. The technique is different from a chokehold or “arm bar”— which Gilroy police are not authorized to deploy— even though it might look similar. “It’s a method we can

use to render somebody unconscious, so we can get them into custody,” Deras said. “Typically they (wake up) within 15 to 30 seconds.” In this incident, the suspect did not regain consciousness after the officers’ use of force, police said. Deras added he is aware there might be private security camera footage from residences in the neighborhood that depicts at least portions of the foot pursuit and subsequent use of force on Juarez. Investigators are in the process of attempting to acquire that footage.

Family disputes police account

Juarez’ cousin, Armendariz, said she has spoken to witnesses of the Feb. 25 incident who she said told her “they saw multiple police beating on him, and he was screaming for them to stop.” Armendariz said the GIlroy police account of the incident doesn’t match up with Juarez’ non-threatening demeanor, his physically small stature and his friendliness with residents of the neighborhood where police subdued him. “There was a lot of people there that knew Steven, and would allow Steven to stay with them,” Armendariz said. “They are pretty devastated with what they witnessed.” A spokesperson from the DA’s office said, “Fatal encounters where law enforcement is involved will call for a joint investigation with our office.” The office declined to provide any other information about the incident while the investigation was continuing. Anyone with information about this incident can contact Gilroy Police at (408) 846-0350.

nearn o thethat Juarez as of Wednesdaydon the evidence we have in front of us,” said Gilroy Police Capt. Joseph Deras. He added that investigators from the DA’s office have been in Gilroy since Sunday night “monitoring and conducting interviews” with Gilroy officers involved in the Feb. 25 incident. Gilroy police officers attempted to arrest Juarez after a resident of the 7400 block of Chestnut Street called to report a suspicious person in her backyard, four blocks east of Monterey Street, just before 10pm Feb. 25. The woman told police she did not know the suspect. When police arrived to the residence, the suspect “made eye contact” with an officer and immediately fled on foot, according to Deras. The officers verbally told Juarez to surrender, but he continued to run away, Gilroy police said Feb. 26. The suspect made his way onto the roof of at least two nearby residences. Police noted that before making any physical contact with Juarez (not identified by name in the release), officers said it appeared he was bleeding from his face. Deras added that this wound appeared to be near the suspect’s forehead. A nearby witness told officers of hearing a noise that sounded like someone or something fell from a roof, Deras said. The officers caught up to Juarez on the ground in front of another residence nearby and approached him in an effort to arrest him, according to police and other sources. Juarez “acted violently and resisted their efforts and made threatening statements,” police said.

SCENE OF FATALITY Utility pole at left on McCloskey Road north of Hollister was sheared when a pickup truck ran off the road on Feb. 25, killing a 6-year-old passenger.

Five killed in separate accidents SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER ACCUSED OF MURDER OF 6-YEAR-OLD SON Michael Moore

Five people—including a 6-year-old boy and an adult bicyclist—were killed in separate traffic accidents in San Benito and Santa Clara counties in less than a week, according to the California Highway Patrol. Two of the accidents occurred Sunday, Feb. 25 in the Hollister area, and were reported less than an hour apart. One of these resulted in the arrest of an allegedly intoxicated driver on a homicide charge in connection with the death of his 6-year-old son, who was a passenger in his father’s vehicle, according to police. About 5pm Feb. 25, authorities responded to a single-vehicle accident on McCloskey Road, just east of San Felipe Road. The Highway Patrol reported that Jesus Mora, 30, of Hollister, had been driving a GMC Sierra westbound on McCloskey Road with two children in the front seat, when he drifted “completely off the roadway onto the dirt shoulder” of the roadway, according to a press release from the CHP HollisterGilroy area office. The driver lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a wooden utility pole. Police said Mora

allegedly swerved off the road “due to his level of intoxication.” The collision resulted in fatal injuries to Mora’s 6-year-old passenger, who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, according to the CHP press release. The other child, a 7-year-old boy, was flown to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center with major injuries. At the scene, Mora referred to the two young boys in the vehicle as his children, according to CHP Officer Chris Miceli. The San Benito County Sheriff ’s Office later identified the boy as Camillo Mora-Valles, of Salinas. Mora, the driver, suffered minor injuries in the accident and was transported to Hazel Hawkins Hospital in Hollister, according to police. Mora was arrested on suspicion of murder and driving while intoxicated, causing bodily injury. He was booked into the San Benito County Jail, according to police.

Motorcyclist pronounced dead

Less than an hour earlier on Feb. 25—about 4:10pm—authorities responded to a collision in which an SUV struck a motorcycle, resulting in a motorcyclist’s death, according to CHP. That accident took place at the intersection of SR 156 and San Felipe Road in Hollister. A 43-year-old Gilroy man, later identified as

Michael Gonzalez, was driving a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle with a 29-yearold female passenger, also of Gilroy, on the back, according to police. The driver of the motorcycle was stopped at a red traffic light in the left turn of SR 156, poised to turn onto northbound San Felipe Road. A 2005 GMC Sierra, driven by a 66-yearold Hollister man, was approaching the intersection on southbound SR 156 at about 50 mph. For an unknown reason, the motorcyclist began making a left turn onto San Felipe Road while the traffic light was still red, police said. After entering the intersection, the motorcyclist began applying the vehicle’s brakes in an effort to avoid colliding with the approaching GMC, according to police. The Gilroy man was unable to avoid a collision with the SUV. As a result, the Harley Davidson driver suffered fatal injuries upon impact, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. His passenger suffered major injuries and was transported by air ambulance to Natividad Medical Center. Authorities do not think alcohol or drugs were a factor in this collision. The accident is under investigation.

driver’s death Feb. 24 on SR 152 in eastern unincorporated Santa Clara County east of Gilroy, according to the CHP. About 2:10pm, a 49-year-old Monterey woman was driving a 2014 Ford eastbound on SR 152 (Pacheco Pass), with a 49-year-old female passenger in the vehicle, police said. For an unknown reason, the driver turned the vehicle to the right, causing the Ford to leave the roadway, travel across the right shoulder and collide with a tree, police reported. The collision occurred just east of Lake Road. The driver of the vehicle suffered fatal injuries, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office identified the driver as Krista Evers. The passenger suffered minor injuries and was flown to San Jose Regional Medical Center. Authorities do not think alcohol or drugs were a factor in the accident, which is under investigation. On Monday, Feb. 26, CHP issued another press release urging motorists to drive with caution in response to the unusual cluster of three traffic fatalities in the area in one weekend. The release advises residents to “drive safely and courteously at all times,” obey traffic laws and slow down because “speed is a factor in most collisions.”

Furthermore, officers reminded residents not to drink and drive. In 2016, more than 1,800 people were killed in California in accidents in which alcohol was a factor, according to the CHP. “While any loss of life is tragic, a loss of life resulting from something preventable is especially troubling,” the Feb. 26 press release states. “Most traffic collisions are preventable.”

identified as Jonathan Kaplan. The driver of the Toyota suffered a minor cut to his finger, according to police. Three passengers in the Toyota were uninjured. It “does not appear” that alcohol or drugs were a factor in this accident, according to police. The accident remains under investigation.

Cyclist struck by Toyota

The latest fatality reported by CHP occurred north of Hollister the afternoon of Feb. 26. About 3:12pm Feb. 26, a 52-year-old Hollister man was traveling eastbound on Shore Road west of San Felipe Road in a 1995 Chevrolet S-10, according to a press release from the CHP Hollister-Gilroy office. For an unknown reason, the driver allowed the vehicle to travel across the westbound traffic lane and onto the north shoulder of Shore Road. The vehicle collided with two trees before coming to rest, police said. As a result of the collision, the driver suffered fatal injuries, according to the CHP. Police do not think alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision, which is under investigation. The San Benito County Sheriff’s Office identified the driver as Steve Lawrence.

The recent rash of fatalities began Feb. 19, when a Cupertino bicyclist died after a collision with a Toyota just south of Hollister, according to police. The accident occurred about 5pm. A 2001 Toyota, driven by a 40-year-old San Lorenzo man, was traveling northbound on SR 25 just south of Cienega Road, according to a CHP press release. The 65-year-old cyclist, riding a Trek bicycle, was traveling on SR 25 in the same direction as the Toyota, when the bigger vehicle approached from behind, according to police. The Toyota collided with the bicyclist “due to the unsafe speed of ” the Toyota, police said. The collision caused the cyclist to be ejected from his bicycle before hitting the asphalt roadway, according to CHP. The Toyota stayed at the scene, where authorities pronounced the cyclist dead. The cyclist was

GILROY HIGH’S WRESTLING DYNASTY AS STRONG AS IT’S EVER BEEN bryce stoepfel Staff Writer

How’s that for a sweet 16? Gilroy High School won its unprecedented and ongoing record 16th straight Central Coast Section Wrestling Championship last Saturday at Independence High School In San Jose, with a record-breaking 10 wrestlers earning firstplace honors. That helped the team accumulate a record-breaking score of 373.5 points. Three records, 10 individual winners, another CCS title. The question has to be asked: Is this the best squad in Gilroy High’s illustrious history? “I don’t want to disrespect our past teams, but it’s looking like this is the best team we’ve had yet,” Mustangs coach Greg Varela said. “We were just trying to break 300 points, and we almost got 400. We broke the champion’s record, which used to be seven, and we got 10. That’s something that we’ve been chasing for a long time. We got work to do to get ready for next week at the state finals. That will be our Super Bowl.” The loaded CIF State Championships begin on Friday at Rabobank Areana in Bakersfield. It’s a place many of the Mustangs are familiar with. Gilroy’s winner list resembled a mini phone book, and included a Jayden Gomez (106 pounds), Nic Aguilar (120), Chase Saldate (126), Alex Felix (132), Daniel Vizcarra (138), Nathan Villarrreal (145), Johnny Fox (152), Joe Barnes (160), Tony Andrade (195), and Nick Villarreal (285). Gomez, the top seed in the 106-pound weight class, started off the championship matches against No. 3 seed Javier Torres of Live Oak High.

The Gavilan College men’s basketball team continued its historic season, posting a 67-63 win over Modesto College last Friday in a California Community College Athletic Association Northern California playoff game. The No. 7 seed Rams (24-4) play at No. 2 seed Fresno City (26-4) on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the State Final Eight Tournament. Gavilan used a superior second half against No. 10 seed Modesto (20-9). Ibn Zaid scored a team-high 18 points and Brian King Jr. had 12 for Gavilan, which received 11 points from reserve Mrad Abrha. Kenneth Monica Jr. had a game-high 18 rebounds.

Sweet Sixteen

ON TOP Gilroy High freshman sensation Jayden Gomez has control during his 106-pound title match in the Central Coast Section Wrestling Championships. Gomez won by decision, 8-1, propelling him to an automatic berth to the state meet. Gomez won by a comfortable 8-1 decision. “I’ve been watching Gilroy wrestling since I was a little kid, and it’s a dream come true to win CCS,” Gomez said. “We’re going after a state title, but we don’t want to be cocky. We’re humble, but if anyone is going to do it, it’s us.”

Pure domination

Rutgers University-bound senior Nic Aguilar, who was the top seed at 120, won by fall at the 4:36 mark over No.3 seed Riley Siason of Alvarez. “It all goes back to practice, and what I’m doing in the room,” Aguilar said. “It’s a whole mental state.” Chase Saldate won 14-6 by major decision against Andrew Wong of Palo Alto in the 126-pound division. Saldate, haunted by a loss in the semifinals last year, was leery of letting up on his opponent. “I was a little nervous based on last year,” he said. “We totally think we’re the best team Gilroy High has had, and with 11 finalists, it feels great.” In the 132-pound class, Alex Felix, a senior who will wrestle at Ohio State University, put his on power on display, defeating his opponent 25-10 at the 4:59 mark.

“I’m in the room every single day grinding it out, and there’s no point why I can’t do what I did today every time,” Felix said. “It means a lot for me to come out here in my senior year and shatter the 300 (points) record. Gilroy is not to be messed with.” Of that, there is no doubt. Daniel Vizcarra had a tougher time with his opponent in the 138pound final, prevailing by a 4-0 decision over Palma’s Saul Gonzalez. “He adapted to my style, but I just had to open up my shots and keep going forward,” Vizcarra said. Nathan Villarreal, the top seed at 145 pounds, won a 7-0 decision over Salinas’ Alfredo Mendoza. “I feel amazing right now, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Villarreal said. “I’ve been training for this since I was a little kid.” Fox was involved in one of the closest matches of the championships, edging Pioneer’s Daniel Woo, 4-3, in the 152-pound title match. Barnes couldn’t score many points in his title match, but he didn’t have to as his defense was impeccable. “It feels great to be a three-time CCS champ;

you can’t beat that,” Barnes said after his 5-0 win over Marcos Jimenez of Evergreen Valley High. We’re setting the tone for future generations to beat what we did here today.” In all, Gilroy had 11 wrestlers qualify for the finals, including Dallas Gutierrez, who came in unseeded, and ultimately finished second to Alvarez’s Ben Perez after being pinned at 3:25 in the second period.

Breakthrough

“I feel like could have wrestled better, but I’m happy the way the tournament went,” Gutierrez said. “I was unseeded, but I beat the three kids who were in front of me on the mat. I did what I was supposed to do out there. It was hard being the unseeded one out there because I thought I had something to prove, but we are all supportive of each other, and we work very hard.” In the 195-pound weight class, senior Tony Andrade was a powerhouse, defeating his opponent, Taniela FelicianoTakafua 13-1 by major decision. It was hardly a surprise, as Andrade also ran roughshod over the competition last season. “He was just trying to

survive out there,” Andrade said. “I’m just going to train hard and keep up a positive mental attitude to get ready for state.” It was a cross-town showdown as heavyweights Nick Villarreal and Christopher High’s Anthony Gomez collided on the mat. Ultimately, Villarreal, described as a gentle giant by Varela, defeated Gomez 4-1, avenging a defeat to Gomez in the Monterey Bay League Finals three weeks ago. “He caught me at the league meet a few weeks ago, but I knew during the match that if I was smart, I was going to win,” said Villarreal. It was a disappointing finish for Gomez, but,he’ll have one more shot at high school wrestling glory at state. “I feel like I could have trained a little harder and I didn’t accomplish all I wanted to do tonight,” said Gomez. “My goal was a CCS title. I did this last year, and I feel like I should have progressed, but that didn’t happen tonight, but, I’m going to state, and I have that to look forward too.” Nathan Aguilar also qualified for state with a third-place showing at 113 pounds. Aguilar won a 7-3 decision to earn a coveted state berth.

Christopher sets table for the future COUGARS SUFFER TOUGH LOSS IN CCS PLAYOFFS, BUT THEY’RE POISED FOR A SECTION TITLE RUN AGAIN emanuel lee Sports Editor

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

KICKING IT Natalie Smith, a Christopher High sophomore, is one of several standouts who

are likely to return next season and make the team a legitimate CCS title contender.

emotional games for us,” she said. Smith started at forward during her freshman season, and did a solid job of making through runs, crossing the ball and taking corner kicks. However, with midfielder being her natural position, Smith started in the midfield during her sophomore season, and she was strong as usual. Smith had one of the team’s two goals against Leland, and she worked well together with fellow midfielder Alessandra Echauri. The two made for a dynamic combo, and should both return next season—along with Martin—making the evolving Cougars a legitimate threat to win a CCS playoff title.

“Quite frankly, if we played against Leland earlier in the season, we would’ve lost a game like that,” Oetinger said. “The coaching staff was really happy with the evolution of the team, which has a lot to do with the comfort level amongst the players. … As the season wore on, we had more and more girls willing and able to take the shot and go full bore.” One only has to look at who was on the field for the Cougars’ final game of the season to realize just how incredibly bright the future is for the program. Two freshmen— Jordan Anaya and Hanna Crawford—started, while another, Jaden Carrillo, entered in the 20th minute and never came off the field. “I feel really good about this squad for the next couple of years for sure,” Oetinger said. “Even though we had quite a bit of talented girls from multiple classes, it goes beyond Xs and Os. They had to respect each other

as teammates rather than classmates. If there were factions on this team, there was no way they were going to achieve what they achieved. They came together as a unit, and that was the key.” Martin was simply dynamite, finishing with 29 goals. It was an incredible accomplishment considering Martin often did it while attracting two to four defenders wherever she went. That opened up a lot of space for her teammates, which is why Martin finished with over 10 assists on the season. Against Leigh, Martin was unstoppable. “The nature of the beast in sports generally is your best players have to be at their best in the playoffs, and that’s what we saw from Aurea,” Oetinger said. Smith proved to be an impact player as a sophomore midfielder. As one of the team’s leaders in assists, Smith has a strong soccer acumen, having played the game since she was 3. What Smith enjoyed the most about this season and last season was reuniting with several of the players who she used to play with years ago. “It was everyone reuniting, and just kind of remembering our youth playing days,” she said. What stood out the most for Smith—besides the overall scope of the season—was the team’s first game against Gilroy in January, a 4-1 win. “That was the most memorable game and probably one of the most

For the Christopher High girls soccer program, the 2017-2018 season might be just the beginning of what could be a historic two- or three-year stretch—or something even beyond. Even though the Cougars saw their season come to an end last Saturday in the form of a 4-3 double overtime loss to Leigh in a Central Coast Section Division I playoff quarterfinal, they’ve got plenty to be proud of and to look forward in the next couple of years. “Unless something dramatically changes, next season our goals will be to win league again and win CCS,” Christopher coach Matt Oetinger said. And why not? The Cougars graduate just one starter off this year’s outstanding team, which finished 13-5-2 in winning a Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division championship for the first time in program history. Junior striker Aurea Martin scored all three of the team’s goals against No. 3 seed Leigh, which connected early in the second overtime period to decide the outcome. “We had a couple of really juicy scoring opportunities there at the end, but just couldn’t get a foot on it,” Oetinger said. “Obviously, losing in double overtime is rough, but

the girls gave us everything they had. In light of what the girls accomplished this season and the two CCS playoff games, I’m real happy with their performance.” Oetinger was particularly proud of the team’s 2-0 win over Leland in the opening round. Isabella Jimenez and Natalie Smith scored for the Cougars, who earlier in the season had a hard time winning if Martin didn’t score.

UNSTOPPABLE Striker Aurea Martin scored 29 goals this season, often with two to four defenders marking her.

OBITUARIES HORACE WESLEY FABING December 6 1925 - February 18, 2018

orace Wesley Fabing passed away peacefully in the company of his family on Sunday February 18, 2018 at the age of 92. Horace was born on December 6, 1925 to Oscar and Emma Fabing in Gilroy, CA.

Horace was a fourth-generation Californian. While his service in the Merchant Marine and US Navy took him to destinations along the west coast and throughout the Pacific, Gilroy was the center of his orbit. As a boy, Horace grew up watching the freight trains go through Gilroy and San Jose, and he knew their schedule and isms just as well as his own. He believed his love of trains began when his father told him that if he would wave to the train crew (at the time, to Horace, a tough bunch of guys) that they would wave back. His father would speed up or slow down their car to “chase” the trains, so Horace could wave, and most often, the crew would wave back. Horace graduated from Gilroy High School and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He married his wife, Nan Fabing on October 5, 1951 and together they built their home in Gilroy and raised their two children, Cindee Ann and Frank Wesley. Horace worked at Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Moss Landing Power Plant for 36 years. After his retirement in 1986, his hobbies took on new life. He would travel with his speeder car and those of his friends to ride railroads around California and as far as Colorado, or ride his 7-1/2 inch gauge trains at the Portola Valley and Alpine RR. He built a garden railroad in his backyard that was for many years included as one of the stops on the Bay Area Garden Railway Society’s annual tour. Horace enjoyed traveling the country and even in his 91st year, went on a road trip to visit his granddaughter in Seattle. An author, historian, and preservationist, Horace was a story-teller with a depth to his memory that could rival any stack of encyclopedias. He gave back to his community by volunteering at the Gilroy Museum. He wrote several articles on local railroad history for The Western Railroader and authored Steinbeck Country Narrow Gauge, a book which tells the story of Claus Spreckels and the Pajaro Valley Consolidated Railroad and how the narrow gauge railway helped shape the central coast communities. Horace was an endlessly patient, kind, and ever-present fixture in our lives. He will be missed by his wife of sixty-six years, Nan, his children, Cindee Sorensen (Gary) and Frank Fabing (Dennis), and his two grandchildren, Scott Sorensen (Yvette) and Emily Sorensen. Our family would like to thank Aida Davis for being an unwavering caregiver and good friend to Horace. Horace was preceded in death by his sister, Orvalee Seadler, and brother, Robert Fabing. Celebration of life will be held at the family home on April 28, 2018 from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Memorials in Horace’s name may be made to the Gilroy Historical Society, P.O. Box 1621, Gilroy, CA 95021; or the Lompoc Valley Historical Society, P.O. Box 88, Lompoc, CA 93438.

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 2017.

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.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On March 30, 2018 at 10:00 AM, At the Gated North Market Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 191 N. First St, San Jose CA 95113, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on October 15, 2010 as Instrument No. 20914972, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Santa Clara County, California, executed by JOSE REYNOSO JR., AN UNMARRIED MAN AND KRISTINA MARIE SUTHERLAND, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for RMR FINANCIAL, DBA PRINCETON CAPITAL, A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 8417 WAYLAND LANE, GILROY, CA 95020 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $249,430.84 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07001497-16-5. 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.
