Contract negotiations officially hit an impasse with the Gilroy Teachers Association last week, and Gilroy Unified School District officials immediately went on the offensive, blaming teachers for the stalled talks. A flashing, multi-colored “Negotiations Update” link on the Gilroy Unified School District’s website outlines the district’s position on the situation that has forced Gilroy teachers to work without a contract since the previous three-year pact expired June 30, 2017. “The parties have reached many agreements on language. The parties have not moved, however, from their respective positions on salaries and benefits,” according to a district-generated document titled, “Frequently Asked Questions-Labor Negotiations,” posted to gusd.org. Gilroy Teachers Association president Jonathan Bass said union negotiators have tried to work out a compromise, but said the district is unwilling to budge on its stance of a 2 percent pay raise and no increase in health benefit contributions.

Ex-mayor gets portrait COUNCIL GIVES PAINTING TO CITY’S FIRST FEMALE MAYOR By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
The Gilroy City Council this week agreed to give former Mayor Roberta Hughan an oil portrait, in connection with a house cleaning effort at the Wiley Cultural Center. The painting had been done by local Gilroy artist Carol Peters in 2007. Hughan asked the city if she could have the painting, at the same time that the council was
looking at disposing of a number of paintings and old furniture that had accumulated at the Gilroy Museum over the years. “I’m going to give it one of my sons, in San Francisco,” a smiling and grateful Hughan said outside of the Council chambers on Monday. The former mayor was the city’s first elected female council member, in 1977, and served as Gilroy’s first and only female mayor from 1983 to 1991. A professional architect, now retired, she said she is concerned about the threats to the environment by President Trump’s policies and actions.
The council also voted to “deaccession” another seven paintings, 17 pieces of furniture and an antique radio, which never fit the mission of the Gilroy Museum. It has not been decided whether these pieces would be donated or auctioned off. The furniture, donated to the museum in 1997, includes mostly 19th-century pieces, but none with any local Gilroy historical value. The paintings had been donated to the city in 1981 by the late W. Robert Morgan, a Gilroy lawyer, and some were hanging at the Wiley Center and others
stored in the museum basement. Morgan’s family agreed to the city’s new plan to sell or donate the paintings. The 55-year-old museum adopted its first donations policy in 2000, to ensure that future gifts would related to documentation of the city’s history. The museum is staffed by a team of 26 volunteers, and is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10am to 5pm and the first Saturday of the month, 10am to 2pm. Admission is free.

The announcement this week from China that it intends to impose retaliatory tariffs on 128 U.S. products sent shock waves across U.S. agriculture, especially in California. Among the Chinese targets are some of the biggest money crops in San Benito County and
southern Santa Clara County— fruit, nuts and wine. The Chinese announcement— not unexpected—followed the Trump administration’s decision to impose tariffs on some $50 billion worth of Chinese goods.. In its statement, China did not indicate when the tariffs would go into effect but said it would implement them in two parts. The first part would affect 120 U.S. products valued at $977 million, including fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts and wine, with a 15 percent tariff. The second part

would cover eight U.S. products worth nearly $2 billion, including pork, with a 25 percent tariff. China said if it fails to reach an agreement with the United States, then it would place tariffs on the first part of the list. The list of Chinese tariff targets includes: • Dried coconut, Coconut without inner shell, Other coconut • Unhulled and shelled Brazilian nuts, chestnuts, pistachio nuts and shelled • Unshelled cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds
• Unhulled and roasted macademia nuts • Betel nuts, pine nuts • Other fresh or dried nuts • Fresh or dried bananas, plantains, dates, figs, pineapple, avocado • Fresh or dried guava, mango, mangosteen, orange, all other citrus, including clementines, virgin and other hybrid oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes • Raisins ➝ Tariffs, 12

TED TALK, TEEN TALK At “Be The Change,” a TEDx event organized by area high school students, the organizing power of today’s youth was on display.
Teens talk change at TEDx Youth event SIX MONTHS OF PREP PROVES BIG SUCCESS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
In keeping with the national news narrative that high school students can affect huge change, a team of local students took it upon themselves to show that South Valley teens are no different. On Saturday morning at the Gilroy High School Theater, six local students, along with a host of volunteers, organized “Be The Change” a TEDx Youth event which featured nine speakers, including several from area high schools. “It took six months of work, but this was the best
team I could have hoped for,” said event Organizer Pranavi Kethanaboyina. “We met a lot of students who wanted to see young people here grow and take the initiative in their own lives.” Organizing the TEDx event was difficult, but so was the application process for the speakers. Organizers, Lucas Bundros, Andrea Levan, Jordan Bedell, Ryan Rivera, Tasia McConkie and Kethanaboyina, chose nine speakers from a field of over 30 applicants. “I saw an ad on Instagram, and I thought, why not apply,” said San Benito High School senior Andres Medina. “I got an email the next day letting me know I earned an interview.”
Like the Parkland teens who organized the March For Our Lives movement, the event’s theme “Be The Change” focused on what young people can do to make a significant impact on the world. “I really support them, and it’s motivating and empowering to see people my age do things like this,” Medina said. “We always see adults on the news, but we saw that during the civil rights era that students led some of the biggest change and that’s why I wanted to get involved.” Hayden Jungling, a senior at Christopher High School, found out about the TEDx event on Snapchat. After his application was accepted, he practiced his speech at
least twice a day in preparation. While writing may have come natural to the aspiring Political Science student, he still needed to overcome nervousness as the day approached. “I was very nervous, but I couldn’t let my fear get in the way,” Jungling said. Like Medina, Jungling found some inspiration from the Parkland students, even if his personal opinions on firearms do not align with many of theirs. “I think it’s great that they’re expressing their opinions,” Jungling said. “I don’t always agree with them about guns, but I’m happy that they can use their freedom of speech to make the world a better place with their viewpoint.”
“I think now more than ever is the time for youth to take action and get involved,” Kethanaboyina said about the March For Our Lives movement. “They played a role in inspiring me when we were going through some of the hardest parts of organizing this. It gave me hope and energy to keep going forward. People are starting to understand that youth, especially in Gilroy, are willing to get involved and make the community an amazing place.” Gilroy Chamber of Commerce President Mark Turner served as the official adult mentor, but that didn't stop him from making his own TED TALK presentation. In "Six Words That
Can Change the Direction and Destination in Life," Turner recalled some of the lessons he learned as a young adult which helped him to succeed in life, including, mowing lawns as a kid, getting fired, and the importance of a good attitude at work. “Mr. Turner was amazing,” Kethanaboyina said. “He was a great mentor when we needed him, but he also knew when to step back and let us be the drivers of the event. He gave us that flexibility.” Christopher High senior Iseph Dela Merced served as the events Master of Ceremony and his combination of humor and cheer served as a natural transition between speakers.

a 6 percent pay raise and for the district to increase its portion for member health care by 5 percent to cover the same increase in premiums. “We withdrew our class size reduction proposal with the understanding that the district could use that money to go towards improving their salary and benefits proposal,” Bass explained. “The district maintained their previous salary proposal of 2 percent and no additional contribution towards benefits.” Gilroy remains one of the lowest paying districts in the county, with a starting salary for a first-year teacher set at $50,743, according to edjoin.org, the education recruiter site used by California school districts. Other nearby local school districts with higher starting salaries, include Morgan Hill Unified School ($54,989), San Jose Unified ($54,958) and East Side High School District ($55,349). At both San Jose Unified and East Side, full-time employees pay no outof-pocket premiums for health benefits. Outside of the county, San Benito High School District’s first-year teacher salary is $53,051 with full health benefits, while Hollister School District’s first-year teacher salary is $47,217. A statewide teacher shortage has fostered challenges to districts such as Gilroy, which has had to replace an average of 75 teachers over the last two years and is well on its way to doing so again after 40 teachers already put in resignation notices for the end of the current school year, according to a GUSD staff report. Negotiators from the district and the teachers’ union, which began talks in December 2017, met for a seventh time March
26 and failed to come to an agreement on a new contract. “GTA is seeking a salary/benefits package that will allow the district to recruit and retain the best teachers for our students,” said Bass, who represents the union that includes teachers and other certificated staff. “When we negotiate, we always have an eye on keeping Gilroy Unified a great place to learn and a great place to work.” The district, however, claims that the union demands will zap the district’s reserve fund and “would bankrupt the district in the third year,” according to the district report. Compounding matters is that district revenues are expected to decrease by nearly $1.3 million next year because of declining enrollment, according to the same facts sheet. The two negotiation teams did agree March 26 that they are “at impasse” and “not likely to make any additional progress without the assistance of a neutral mediator,” according to the staff report. They have requested assistance from the Public Employees Relations Board. In its online report to the public, district staff shares that teachers’ union members have gotten salary increases every year dating back to 2013-14 when they got a 4.5 percent raise. In subsequent years, teachers earned a 5.5 percent raise in 2014-15; 3 percent in 2015-16; and 2 percent in 2016-17 plus 2.5 percent on benefits. “The district has worked very hard to improve the benefits package for its employees and is contributing significantly more to every employee’s benefits with the increases that went into effect last year,” according to the district fact sheet, which goes on to state that “the district’s total
compensation to teachers and certificated staff (i.e., salary plus benefits) higher than some other nearby school districts.” Last year, increases in salary and health contributions equaled $6 million and the district budgeted for an additional $1.7 million next year “even if nothing extra is negotiated,” according to the district report. Once a mediator is appointed, that individual will meet privately with both negotiating teams “to gain an understanding of each side’s positions, to see if there are any potential concepts or proposals to share with the other side and to persuade the parties to come to a mutually acceptable agreement,” according to the district’s online literature titled “Frequently Asked Questions—Impasse and Factfinding.” No date has been scheduled as of yet to meet with the mediator, according to Bass. If an agreement still can’t be reached, negotiations turn to a “factfinding process,” where one member of each negotiating team states their case to a neutral third party who then reports “final findings and recommendations,” according to the district report. Negotiations can also continue between the two sides during these stages separate from the mediator and an agreement still can be ironed out. If no contract is reached, the board of education must hold a public hearing and “may take action to unilaterally implement the recommendations of the factfinding panel, to unilaterally implement the District’s ‘last, best, and final offer’ or take no action.” Once all of these steps are completed, the union members have the right to strike or otherwise engage in a work stoppage, according to the report.

OPINION LETTERS Gilroy’s generosity
The generosity of so many people in Gilroy was evident last Friday. A fundraiser for the Valerie Roberts Memorial Scholarship, which funds graduating seniors from Christopher High School, was hosted at Fortino Winery. Through the hard work of Joy Deliz, Ann Gallardo, Lajette England, Yolanda Santos, and Jodi Syth, coupled with generous raffle prizes donated by numerous people in the community, more than $3500 was raised. The scholarship is awarded each May to an individual who has demonstrated positive influence on the people of Gilroy through community service. A sincere thank you goes out to all who participated.

Support more trees I hope many residents speak up and tell the City Council they support protecting our beautiful trees! On April 16 they will be considering an ordinance to protect oaks, sycamores and other native trees and also large heritage trees in Gilroy. Like Dr. Seuss’ Lorax, we need to speak for the trees! Speaking for myself, I’d like to see our existing street tree program strengthened and all large trees given some measure of protection. We’ve had enough of developers bumping off trees “accidentally” on the weekend! Trees provide shade, clean our air and increase our property values. They also define Gilroy aesthetically and environmentally. Let’s hear it for Gilroy trees!

How dangerous is Census dispute?
I
n the superheated conflict between President Donald Trump and the nation state of California, no issue is too trivial. Every week, it seems, brings some new point of friction, giving the combatants another opportunity to issue searing denunciations and file new lawsuits. Last week was no exception. The Trumpies announced plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census and California immediately sued to block it, claiming that it would discourage immigrants from filling out census forms due to fears about deportation, thus depressing the California count. Were a citizenship question to depress the census count in California and other states with high immigrant populations, it could also depress their clout in Congress. How so? Census numbers are used every 10 years to determine how many congressional seats are assigned to each state. When California’s population was growing strongly, it could count on steady increases in its congressional delegation. But the state’s population growth rate has declined. It received no new seats after the 2010 census and demographers believe that it would either be frozen again at 53 seats after the 2020 census or lose a seat to another, faster-growing state. Low census numbers could also reduce federal aid funds coming to California, because they are often tied to census data. Those are the potential consequences, and California leaders suggest that it’s another mean-spirited assault on the state, whose voters and politicians have as much disdain for Trump as he obviously has for them.
That’s quite possibly true, even though the administration says the citizenship question is needed to obtain data for enforcing the Voting Rights Act and other matters. However, this wouldn’t be the first time the census asked a citizenship question. It was a common feature of census forms for many years and was dropped from all forms after 1950. The Census Bureau explains why this way: “We ask about people in the community born in other countries in combination with information about housing, language spoken at home, employment, and education, to help government and communities enforce laws, regulations, and policies against discrimination based on national origin. For example, these data are used to support the enforcement responsibilities under the Voting Rights Act to investigate differences in voter participation rates and to enforce other laws and policies regarding bilingual requirements.” The current political sniping aside, we should know as much as we can about the makeup of the nation’s population, including how many of us are citizens. The proposal is to shift the question now on the American Community Survey to the full census, a question that simply asks about citizenship and doesn’t ask whether one is documented or undocumented. Even so, a study funded by the Obama administration concluded, “The introduction of legal status questions does not appear to have an appreciable ‘chilling effect’ on the subsequent survey participation of unauthorized immigrant respondents.” If Democrats don’t like the question, their remedy is to win the presidency and eliminate it from the 2030 census.

Comments are stifled The local Council of Governments invites “public comment” at so-called “public hearings,” for which we are given very short notice (48-72 hours) to the public, by being “posted” on the COG website, which they contend satisfies the requirements of the Brown Act. Well, it may satisfy the “special me’eting” requirements of the Brown Act, but in the real world it is almost no notice whatsoever. People are working for a living, trying to pay all the taxes/fees that they hang around our necks and do not have time to look at the COG Website every day. So, whereas taxpayers are getting shafted again and again, they have no opportunity to hear about or read about new government meetings where new taxes/fees and more shafting are going to be discussed. They stifle dissent. They refuse to obey the Brown Act because their agendas never state the truth about their actions. COG, VTA and local government leaders have us on the Road to Serfdom.

FROM THE WEB Mayor says ‘protocols followed’ Keep in mind GPD only let out information to the Dispatch that they wanted out regardless whether the information was given during as they say an ongoing investigation. The already gave their narrative on what they want the community to think about Stevie. The Mother who lost a son has requested information and a meeting with GPD to get some answers and she was denied any information from anyone at City Hall and GPD and citing ongoing investigation. All she wants is answers because GPD version and witness version are totally different. If you live in East Gilroy and Latino and have already had negative contact from GPD warranted or not you would think about not wanting that contact with GPD again. So let’s all not be Judge and Jury until all the facts are out. Gilroy City Council passed a Transparency Sunshine Ordinance to get information out to the community when needed. The Dispatch should know this as they challenged City Hall and GPD for information on another incident and the City was not very transparent Art Barron Via Facebook
Article should read “While fleeing the police by running across roof tops on Chestnut street, Stevie was eventually detained using police force and died. Cause of death to determine if he was a drug addict running from the police or if he was injured and killed by police is underway. As in all investigations, it takes time to complete. Please allow time for the investigation.” Brittney Patterson Via Facebook

CHP conducts bus safety sting HIGHWAY PATROL OPERATION IN GILROY RESULTED IN CITATIONS FOR STOP SIGNS Staff report
Submitted
California Highway Patrol officers last week issued four citations for motorists who failed to stop for school buses in an enforcement operation in unincorporated Gilroy. Authorities said they also issued one verbal warning, and educated an “untold” number of motorists, parents and students on the importance of school bus pedestrian safety during the March 28 crackdown. “School bus safety is a key issue in our community, and the CHP is committed to upholding pedestrian safety laws to protect the public,” reads a March 29 press release announcing the results of the sting. During the March 28 operation, CHP officers rode as passengers on school buses, actively watching for motorists who failed to stop for a bus with its flashing red lights activated and stop sign arm extended. These officers, posing as passengers, were in communication with CHP patrol officers in the area of the school bus. If a driver was observed illegally passing a school bus, a patrol officer stopped them and issued a citation or warning, police said.
STOP WHEN YOU SEE THIS California Highway Patrol officers caught Gilroy drivers running past stopped school buses. At the conclusion of the Gilroy area operation, four citations were issued and one verbal warning was delivered, according to CHP. The California Association of School Transportation Officials contacted the CHP to request assistance in promoting school bus pedestrian safety. The school bus officials noted that the 2016 annual California Department of Education School Bus Illegal Passing Driver Survey found that more than 26,000 motorists failed to stop for a school bus that was stopped to load or unload children.
The CHP also took the request as an opportunity to “strongly remind” motorists of the law when it comes to stopping for school buses or their passengers: • When a school bus’s red lights are flashing, motorists may not pass the bus. Motorists must stop from either direction until children entering or exiting the school bus have safely crossed the street and the red lights stop flashing; • Yellow flashing lights on a school bus warn motorists to slow down and prepare to stop;
• Be alert when children are standing at a school bus stop, as children are often unpredictable and may dart out in front of traffic without heed for traffic hazards or risks. The CHP also offered advice for parents to pass on to their kids in order to be safe pedestrians and school bus passengers: • Arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes early and stand at least 10 feet away from the road; • Do not let your child play running games, or push, or shove at the bus stop; • If your child drops something near the bus,
warn them not to try to pick it up. Instead, the child should tell the bus driver and wait for assistance to pick up the dropped object. If a child bends over to pick up a dropped object, they might not be seen by the bus driver and could be struck by the bus; • Remind children to look to the right before they step off the school bus. Motorists sometimes try to pass buses on the right; • If children must cross the street to get to the bus, remind them to wait for the bus driver to signal that
it is safe to cross. Children should not get on or off the school bus until the bus driver says it is safe to do so; • When walking, practice good pedestrian behavior and walk on the sidewalk, if there is one. If there is no sidewalk, walk single file, facing traffic and stay on the shoulder as far off the road as possible. Funding for the March 28 enforcement was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Notice of Public Hearing What:
Public Hearing on Proposed Modifications to the Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program and the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project
When:
April 10, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.
Where:
District Headquarters, Board Room 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118
Modifications to the voter-approved program require a public hearing. Two changes are currently proposed.
Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection (Coyote Creek to Dorel Drive – San José) The proposed modification is for Project E4, the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project. The primary objective of the project is to reduce the risk of flooding to homes, schools, businesses and highways in the Upper Penitencia Creek Watershed located in San José. The proposed modification would reduce the scope of the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project to the planning phase only through FY19, and would reallocate the remaining funds to complete flood risk reduction along 9 miles of Coyote Creek, from Montague Expressway to Tully Road. The proposed modification would address the urgent demand for flood risk reduction along Coyote Creek. Completing the planning phase for the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project would position the District to be able to pursue additional funding for design and construction in the future as grant opportunities and other funding sources may become available. Proposed modification to the Key Performance Indicators: 1. Complete a planning study report for a flood protection project to provide up to 1% flood protection to 9,000 homes, businesses and public buildings.
Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program The proposed modification is for Project A2, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) #3, the Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program (Nitrate Rebate Program). The Nitrate Rebate Program provides funds to reimburse private well users for the costs of installing a nitrate treatment system to improve water quality and safety. The proposed modification will reduce the maximum program funding to align with the demand for the Nitrate Rebate Program. This reduced program funding level includes the funds spent to date to develop, administer and advertise the program, along with an annual amount of $4,000 prospectively, which will be used for rebates through the project’s completion date of 2023. This will help ensure continued assistance for well users that want to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce nitrate levels in their drinking water. The remaining funds would be reallocated to another project within the Safe, Clean Water Program. Proposed modification to Key Performance Indicator #3: Reduce number of private well water users exposed to nitrate above drinking water standards by awarding 100% of eligible rebate requests for the installation of nitrate removal systems; up to $30,000 for all rebates.

QUAKE READY The San Martin Airport will be the center of activity on April 7th as the South County holds its annual emergency relief simulation.
Community disaster exercise April 7 SAN MARTIN AIRPORT WILL BE CENTER OF EARTHQUAKE RELIEF Staff Report
The South County Airport Pilot Association Disaster Airlift Response Team will be conducting an intensive emergency response to a mock earthquake on Saturday, April 7. Organizers said this year’s scenario will simulate a large earthquake
occurring at 7:30am with an epicenter near San Martin. The emergency teams will assume that communication networks, electrical power and water service will have been cut, with Highway 101 and other regional transportation arteries impassable, preventing access for those in need of rescue, emergency medical services, water, food and transportation to emergency shelters or hospitals. In this practice scenario, the San Martin Airport will be the
designated transportation center. Providing shuttle transportation and logistics capability to assist regional disaster response efforts.. The disaster preparedness program was initiated in 1989 by local San Martin pilots after the Loma Prieta earthquake. The California disaster network includes pilots at 15 airports, including San Martin Airport, which serves the South County. The annual exercises are a collaborative effort involving local community volunteers, various local
organizations, certificated pilots and FAA-compliant aircraft.

Top agricultural exports to China and Hong Kong include pistachios, almonds, wine, oranges, dairy products and hay. “California farmers
depend on trade for a living, so we are quite concerned about the retaliation resulting from the tariffs announced,” said Sara Neagu-Reed, legislative associate for the California Farm Bureau Federation. “We would prefer to see the executive branch working to open more new markets. We are continuing to remind our trade officials of those goals.” China is now one of the fastest growing wine markets in the world and will soon be second only to the U.S. in value, according to the Wine Institute, which said China’s proposed tariffs on U.S. wine “could have a significant negative impact on the future growth of wine exports to China.” American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said in a statement that if trade continues to deteriorate, “our lives as farmers and ranchers will become more difficult.” “Retaliation in the trade arena makes our outlook even worse,” he said.
California's nut industry—almonds, walnuts and pistachios—sold $1.1 billion in 2016 to China, its third-largest foreign customer, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture. China also bought more than $220 million in fresh citrus and table grapes from California that year, according to the department's data. The California wine industry, which has made big inroads to the Chinese market, sold about $197 million of its product there last year, according to the Wine Institute, a California advocacy organization. U.S. wine exports to China and Hong Kong (which often re-exports to the mainland) have more than quadrupled in the last decade and rose 10% last year, according to the institute. Each of those California sectors stands to lose momentum in a worldwide competition for a share of the rapidly expanding Chinese consumer market.

Dogs join Easter Bunny in fundraiser PAWS CHARITY PROGRAM GETS SUPPORT IN EGG HUNT Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Robert Eliason
What do you get when you combine the Easter Bunny, kids, dogs, and a charity whose mission is to train service dogs to assist veterans in need? The result was Operation Freedom Paws' Annual Easter Egg Hunt, where for $5 kids and parents had good wholesome fun on a perfect Spring day, while helping to match service dogs with veterans. Operation Freedom Paws is a 501 (3) c non-profit organization that takes dogs from shelters and rescue groups, then matches them up with veterans who train them as service dogs. When the training is complete, the dogs are matched with veterans or people with disabilities. The 48-week program comes at no cost to clients. “We do more than just match veterans with dogs,” said Operation Freedom Paws President and Executive Director of Operations Mary Cortani. “We have therapist group meetings where veterans can get support for themselves and their sponsors. We also have outings to get them out and active in the community.” For a dog to qualify as a service dog, it needs to be able to perform an assortment of tasks defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Duties could range from letting a veteran know when to take their medication, informing them of an oncoming seizure, or to act as
a calming agent when they’re in a large crowd. “For a veteran with PTSD, being in a crowd can trigger memories,” Cortani said. “The service dog can warn the veteran of rising levels of stress, and the dog can lead him or her out of a crowd when those stress levels are heightened. A service dog can also create a barrier between the veteran and an uncomfortable situation.” While the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is a lot of fun—along with being an important fundraiser— organizing all the details for the day can be an arduous task that takes a lot of time. Lucky for Cortani and event organizer Megan Wenholz, they had help from over 40 volunteers. “We start organizing the event in January, so it takes a lot of time,” Wenholz said. “It’s always better when we have a few months to prepare.” Along with fun, another goal of the event was to educate the public about the vital work that service dogs perform. “We also want to show the community how to interact with service dogs,” Cortani said. “You should also ask someone if you can pet a service dog. You can distract a service dog from doing its job by doing what we call a ‘drive-by pet.’” Not every dog can become a service dog, but any dog breed— from a German Shepard to a ShiTzu—can become a service dog. “Any dog can be a good breed; it’s based on the dog's personality,” Cortani said. “We have a Vietnam veteran who has a tiny poodle who reminds him when to take his diabetes medicine.”
EGG-CELLENT DAY Apparently Hannah Lee couldn’t wait until Easter Sunday for her hard-boiled eggs. Operation Freedom Paws’ Annual Easter Egg Hunt is an important fundraiser for the non-profit organization.

WALK TIL YOU SHOP The Patio will be another piece of the burgeoning development of the Hecker Pass area.
Piazza plan builds a community DEVELOPER AIMS TO CREATE A SMALL TOWN FEEL IN PLAN Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
The Patio and the Piazza may sound like a new foreign film, but in Gilroy, an innovative plan represents a new approach to urban development. On the corner of First Street and Santa Teresa, The Piazza will soon be joined by a commercial development nearby. Both may be part of something bigger, developers say, a sign of a new kind of approach to building neighborhoods. It may also indicate that hottest area of growth
in Gilroy is moving west, towards Hecker Pass. The story behind the Piazza was born in Italy. “We were on a family trip in Italy and we stopped in a small town outside of Rome,” said Chris Vanni of Vanni Properties Inc. “When I saw it, I knew that was what I wanted.” What it turned out to be was a 52,000 square foot commercial complex, that in many ways does not feel like a commercial complex. The Piazza is highlighted by a courtyard, surrounded by greenery, masonry inspired by Vanni's Italian roots, along with a flowing fountain in the center. “With everything happening around Hecker Pass and the possible new apartments near First and
Kern, we wanted to build something with a walkable urban style,” said Vanni. “The whole idea is to create something that people would enjoy, so they could be outside and be able to walk to places without getting into your car.” The Patio will be three buildings. On the corner of First Street and Kelton Drive, there will be a 2,500-square-foot coffee/ restaurant pad, and there will be a 4,000-square-foot general retail building that can be divided in half. The third, nearest to The Piazza will be a 6,500-squarefoot building that will be divided between restaurant and retail use. “We hope the mitigation goes smoothly,” Vanni said. “Before we designed the project, we did a lot of studies. We did a parking
analysis, a traffic analysis, we spoke to CalTrans, and we got our access points correct. We were able to get the correct easement off First Street. We don’t expect anything crazy to come from the report.” Along with the continued residential expansion around Eagle Ridge, a new 202-unit townhome-style condo project has been proposed nearby on 11 acres on the southeast corner of the Santa Teresa Boulevard and First Street. And, a new 119-unit apartment complex development near the corner of First Street and Kern Avenue will likely come before the Planning Commision and City Council sometime in the middle of the year. This development, coupled with ongoing construction around Hecker Pass,
indicate continued growth in the area. In some ways, it sounds like the beginning of a town within a town. Walkable neighborhoods, with many of the daily necessities, shopping, restaurants, all within a short distance from each other. A nearby example of what that might look like the Carmel Valley development in Mountain View, which has a Safeway built inside the neighborhood. The idea could be part of a way to combat urban sprawl, or, the continual urban expansion of a city. Gilroy voters recently acted on their dislike of unfettered expansion by passing Measure H, which set fixed boundaries on how Gilroy will expand. Developer Gary Walton, who has built numerous mixed-use

commercial/residential buildings is a believer in walkable neighborhoods. “People are rediscovering these neighborhoods, and they like it,” Walton said. “People will pay more to be in walking distance of downtown. In Willow Glen and Los Gatos, people want to live near the downtown, and the return the city gets from protecting and maintaining these neighborhoods is greater than the revenue they get on revenue reserves. We’re losing money on that because inflation is higher than the rate of the interest.” In the end though, you can build a walkable neighborhood, but you can’t force residents to walk. Vanni is hopeful. “Now we just need to get people out of their cars,” Vanni said.

Fit Republic upgrades its brand GOAL IS TO REACH OUT TO MEMBERS By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
A gym must address many factors if it wants to flex its financial muscles. According to Fit Republic in Gilroy, the most important things are a friendly “Hello,” and “Goodbye.” “The number one reason why a person quits going to a gym is that they don’t feel welcome,” said Fit Republic General Manager Adam Davis. “That interaction is so important because people often come to the gym to relieve their stress. That’s why we emphasize customer service.” In January, Fit Republic shed some fat, so to speak, when it committed to rebranding and a change of management. What had been Fitness Evolution evolved into Fit Republic and along with that change came Davis, 29, a graduate of William Jessup University with a Bachelors of Science in Business and a degree from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. With Davis’ background in business and fitness, Fit Republic hit the new year running. “It’s not that the staff was bad or failing here,
but the proper leader was not in place,” Davis said. “Mentorship is a big deal, and it was something I didn’t fully understand until I was in my mid-20s. People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led.” As memories of New Year’s resolutions fade so does attendance for people who sign up for gym memberships at the beginning of the year. Between 80 to 90 percent of members who stop coming to the gym cancel their membership says, Davis. The key to keeping members coming back is communication and motivation. “We want to reach out to people and ask them if they want to try our classes,” Davis said. “We don’t want to charge people for something they aren’t using; we want to see them gain long-term results. If they see results, they’ll tell other people about how their lives have been changed. This business is about people. We’re not here just to take someone’s money; we want to make an impact on the community.” While communication is part of member retention, results also drive members to keep coming back. For some, the results can be life-changing. One particular member's fitness story stands out for Davis. “When Jeremy came in he weighed almost 400
GAINS AND LOSSES Darin Bellamy, center, with Fit Republic Head Coach Miguel Pena on the left and General Manager Adam Davis on the right, was a first place winner in a two month fitness challenge. Bellamy lost 8-pounds, decreased his total body fat by 11.3 percent and gained 11-pounds of muscle. pounds,” Davis said. “He’s dedicated, comes in all the time, watches his nutrition, and he’s taken part of our Fit Nation classes. He’s lost over 180 pounds so far. That’s like losing a whole person.” With 30,000 square feet and two floors to work with at 8540 Church
Street, Fit Republic fills the space with 156 different machines, ranging from the humble bench press to a Hammer Strength Olympic Squat Platform. Some pieces of equipment cost up to $5,000 each. With personal training sessions, classes, nutrition
seminars among Fit Republic’s offerings, there’s plenty to do for their 2,000 members. Fit Republic, headquartered in Pleasanton, has 60 locations throughout California and Washington and has recently started to offer franchise opportunities.

CHRISTOPHER SWIMMING
Robert Eliason
Fifty is nifty
ROSS IS BOSS Christopher High swim coach Jeff Ross, who has been with the school since it opened, recently guided the girls team to 50 straight
wins in Monterey Bay League action. The Cougars have another terrific girls squad this season, some of whom have hit CCS-qualifying times.
COUGARS ARE TOO TOUGH IN LEAGUE emanuel lee Sports Editor
Robert Eliason
For Maria Higginbotham and the Christopher High girls swim team, being a part of the squad that helped the program clinch 50 consecutive wins on March 23 against San Benito was all about one person: coach Jeff Ross. Higginbotham, who has hit Central Coast Section Meet-qualifying times in the 100-yard freestyle along with the 200 free and 200 medley relay teams, expressed a deep sentiment for Ross. “Coach has done so much for me in terms of being there for me whenever I needed it,” Higginbotham said. “When he told us the week before (the meet against San Benito) that a win would be the 50th straight, it was so surreal.” However, about a third of the meet through Christopher found itself in a razor-thin close battle with the Haybalers, who outside of the Cougars probably have the best team in the Gabilan Division. The Cougars, who are used to blowing away opponents, suddenly had some doubt creep in their minds with so much riding on the line. “When it was close, it was a little nerve-wracking,” Higginbotham said. “I was thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, are we really going to lose this meet?’ We were upset we might be letting coach down. He’s always so excited for us to do well, so we definitely didn’t want to lose this for coach. It’s really rewarding to see coach so happy.” Indeed, Ross couldn’t have been prouder of the girls and their performance. When asked what being the coach of a program that has won 50 consecutive meets meant, Ross gave a somewhat prophetic statement. “It means for me this could be my last rodeo,” the 68-year-old Ross said. “I retired from teaching at Christopher last year, and in coaching people don’t realize how much you put into it. But
STEADY Christopher High senior Maria Higginbotham has been a four-year standout. Higginbotham credits longtime coach Jeff Ross for always being
there for the swimmers and meeting their needs. It’s a big reason why the girls team recently clinched 50 consecutive wins in MBL action.
it’s been a dream coaching some of the teams I’ve had here.” Ross has been the swim coach since the school opened—“We were out there when they were just building the campus and there was only dirt and gophers out there,” Ross said—so he’s built up quite an emotional attachment to the school and swim program. Ross said the 50 consecutive wins isn’t so much about the victories but more about what the girls team has come to represent in the city of Gilroy: a swimming evolution. “This has been a wrestling town for boys and a softball town for girls,” he said. “We’ve been lucky to get some outstanding girl swimmers here, and it’s a tradition now. I guess if you wait around long enough, you can do anything. We get the girls in, they work hard and everything falls into place.” Said Higginbotham: “It’s
rewarding for all of us girls because we’ve worked our butts off and put the work daily in practice.” In addition to Higginbotham, Christopher has several other standout swimmers whom Ross expects to hit CCS-qualifying times either in individual events or as a part of a relay, including Nicole Critzer, Kaylee Nguyen, Sierra Ceballos and Haylee Hartman. Higginbotham, Critzer, Nguyen and Ceballos make up the relay teams that have qualified for CCS, with Hartman serving as an alternate. Higginbotham has many great memories swimming under Ross, starting in her freshman year when the longtime coach nicknamed her Hurricane Maria. “He’s always been encouraging, but at the same time, if I need to be told something straight, he won’t hesitate to do that,” Higginbotham said. “When I ended up getting my
100 (free) cut (CCS time), he gave me a hug during the race. A couple of days later, he texted me, ‘See, you’re still the hurricane.’ Certain things like that always make you feel special.” Higginbotham admitted she peaked as an eighth- and ninthgrader, and yet she’s come to the realization that it’s OK to enjoy the journey and have fun. The biggest moment of her career came as a ninth grader when she was racing at the time for the Gilroy Gators club team. Competing in a meet in Reno, Higginbotham was involved in a unique 50-meter free challenge that started off with approximately 70 swimmers. After each round, swimmers are cut until two final swimmers are left at the end. Higginbotham swam five to six rounds over two or three days, and even more impressive, she swam three other events simultaneously during the competition.
“I was really proud because I definitely didn’t think I would get that far,” she said. “It’s one of those things where I could’ve stopped and not try anymore, but instead I pushed myself to see how far I could go. I’m glad I pushed myself that far.” Ross has done likewise as a coach, knowing he could’ve well retired from coaching a couple of years ago. However, Ross enjoys coaching swimmers who are dedicated and continually guiding them, as there is a different dynamic every season. Ross has had some great memories at Christopher, including three years ago when the Cougars won the league championships. “In that meet our first relay team got disqualified, so we started the meet out 32 points behind,” he said. “By the time the meet is over, we win by 44 points. There is no way we should’ve won it the way we did. It was awesome.”

GILROY DISPATCH
Lewis and Dolan strong in the middle LONGTIME FRIENDS LOOK TO LEAD THE MUSTANGS BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM TO A SOLID FINISH IN MONTEREY BAY LEAGUE’S PACIFIC DIVISION SLATE emanuel lee Sports Editor
Ever improving
ATTACK MODE Gilroy High middle blocker Trevor Lewis hits through the block in earlier action this season against San Benito High. Lewis has become a dominant middle this year.
Robert Eliason
Lewis’ game has made dramatic improvement in the last couple of years, a byproduct of playing for a club team and doing some camps outside of the high school season. Lewis said playing volleyball has brought him extra fulfillment. “The best highlight is seeing the progress I’ve made and all of my teammates have made,” he said. “I’ve known them for four years, and it’s cool to see how we’ve all grown together as players and people. It’s great to see what playing sports can do. I get more enjoyment out of seeing the team do well instead of me doing well. Of course I want to play well, but it’s more about the team and what we’re trying to do.” Dolan and Lewis are good friends, and their
relationship only grew stronger when Dolan was diagnosed with testicular cancer last August. Dolan underwent successful surgery that same month and now has monthly checkups to make sure the cancer is not spreading. So far, so good for Dolan, who credited his family and friends for providing support throughout this emotional process. “Friends like Trevor were really comforting,” Dolan said. “He’s a real fun guy to hang out with, and he knows how to make me laugh.” Lewis was impressed with Dolan’s character throughout his friend’s ordeal. “When he was talking to me about the cancer, it was a pretty scary time,” Lewis said. “I was feeling pretty down and sad since I’ve known him all my life. To know he could’ve possibly been taken away, it was very emotional. But he had a good attitude about it, and he didn’t use it as a pity card. Everyone noticed that about his character. I thank him almost everyday for coming out and helping this team.” Dolan opted to play this year after friends convinced him to come out for the team, and he’s overjoyed he made the decision. Dolan decided to play for the love of the sport and to motivate others and himself to overcome adversity. “I wanted to prove people wrong that you can come back from something like this and have good seasons in two
Robert Eliason
The Gilroy High boys volleyball team is still trying to find its identity and cohesiveness on the court. Fortunately for the Mustangs, the players— including senior middle blockers Trevor Lewis and Jacob Dolan—believe a turnaround is imminent. “I feel our team can definitely clean up our play (in terms of passing and serve-receive),” Lewis said. “These are things we can work on, and I definitely see us doing very well this season.” The Mustangs entered the week at 2-3 in the Monterey Bay League’s Pacific Division, but coach Paolo Palao expressed optimism that the squad has yet to play its best volleyball. “We’re still trying to find our identity,” Palao said. “Once we get there, we’ll start getting better results.” Whereas Gilroy leaned heavily on the outside for its attacks the last couple of years, this season it has gone early and often to the middle on offense. “Trevor is one of the bigger and more physical middles in the league,” Palao said. “We’ve run our quick attack pretty well through him, and we’re getting a lot of kills and blocks from our middles this season. Jacob has
brought us so much good energy on the floor and keeps a positive attitude. He’s only getting better.” Other top standout players include junior setter Niklas Marquez, senior right side Jesus Martinez, sophomore middle blocker Bryce Bayuga, junior outside hitter/defensive specialist Vincent Thai, sophomore Josiah Lopez and libero Krystian Deveza. The 5-foot-11 Dolan is in his first and only season of playing volleyball at Gilroy. Dolan’s main sport is soccer, and that was his focus for the majority of his high school career. However, Dolan did play volleyball in middle school, so he had at least some experience coming into this season.
BLOCK PARTY Gilroy High senior middle blocker Jacob Dolan stuffs a San Benito attack in earlier action this season. Dolan is in his first season of playing volleyball for the Mustangs.
