AGRICULTURAL WELLS HIT BY 22 PERCENT By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

➝ Water,8

Bryce Stoepfel

Municipal water districts, homeowners, farmers and ranchers with their own water wells face fee increases of 7.9 to 22.2 percent from the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Well users don’t use the district’s treatment plants, pipes or pumping stations, but they do dip into the same groundwater resources, and the district uses the well-user fees, and rates by “retail” consumers to sustain the system. The rate-setting process for the sprawling water district is scheduled to conclude on April 24, when the board meets to affirm rates it already approved. Public hearings were held April 10 and April 12 to explain the new rates. Groundwater rates would rise up to 7.9 percent for non-agricultural water wells, and up to 22.2 percent for agricultural well users. “As Santa Clara County’s primary water wholesaler, the water district strives to make sure there is enough clean, safe water to sustain the region’s economic

HEAVY HITTERS Three generations of fighters, Ruben, Robert Jr., and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero at Pound 4 Pound, their new boxing gym at 7648 Monterey Street. Robert Jr. under the tutelage of his champion father and grandfather Ruben is a fighter in training.

Guerreros open new gym 3 GENERATIONS OF GUERRERO FAMILY CREATE BOXING MECCA DOWNTOWN Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

One week after its grand opening, Pound 4 Pound Sports Fitness, the new boxing gym on Monterey Street was popping with the sounds of the sweet science. Whap, whap—swap—pap, pap, pap! “We’re here to build

champions,” said Ruben Guerrero before the day sparring sessions started at the new gym opened by him and his Maricela, parents of former multiple world boxing champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. It was tough to tell that fighters Oscar Escandon and Pedro Cruz were sparing. Even with head and body padding, the shots each threw and absorbed appeared, and sounded, like both were fighting at full steam. “I’d say they’re at 90 percent

speed and 50 percent power right now,” Robert Guerrero said. Like the fighters, Pound 4 Pound looks and sounds like it’s on full power. With the boxing ring, dozens of heavy bags, speed bags, mats, mitts, the new gym at 7648 Monterey St is slick, slim and powerful, just like multiple former world champion Robert Guerrero. It took about seven months to get to opening day, but there’s more to come. “I’m turning this whole area back here into a full gym, with weights, cardio machines and a

place for Crossfit,” Ruben Guerrero said while touring the unfinished back half of the building which had been the Discount Surplus store. “We get kids from the streets, but we also take in kids from the YMCA and the Gilroy Youth Alliance,” Maricela said. “ We’ve also reached out to local high schools and the Gilroy Department of Parks and Recreation. We want to get kids off the street and keep them out of trouble.” ➝ Pund for Pound, 11

City seeks to regain its Tree City status CITY CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY WITH PLANS TO PLANT ANOTHER 400 TREES ALONG GILROY STREETS By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

58015 02001

The City of Gilroy is on aggressive pace to plant more than 100 trees per year in downtown neighborhoods, replacing many diseased or dead trees.

The City Council last week heard that 100 trees had been planted, with a goal of 500, in hopes of restoring Gilroy to a national “Tree City” designation. To celebrate this renewed effort, the city is hosting a tree party on Arbor Day, Tuesday, April 17, at 5:30pm in Carriage Hills Park, 1701 Crest Hill Way. Mayor Roland Velasco has officially declared April 17 Arbor Day, in Gilroy, and the Parks and Recreation Commission will plant five trees in Carriage Hills Park that have been donated by West Coast Arborists.

There is more to the tree story in Gilroy than just planting trees, and having a party. The council is considering a new ordinance endorsed by the Planning Commission that would impose stiff fines on property owners who cut down trees in the city limits without city permission. “Trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, and provide

habitat for wildlife,” the mayor said in his Arbor Day proclamation. “Trees are a renewable source, giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires and countless other wood products— and trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business areas and beautify our community,” he said. “Trees, where they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual growth,” Velasco concluded. “I ➝ Trees, 17

Gilroy’s classified staff agrees to 2 percent hike INCREASE IS RETROACTIVE TO JULY 1 Scott Forstner Reporter

Despite stalled talks with the teachers’ union, Gilroy school district leaders reached an agreement with its classified (non-instructional) staff for the 2017-18 school year that includes a 2 percent pay raise retroactive to July 1, 2017. Gilroy Unified School District’s Board of Trustees ratified the contract terms with the California School Employees Association at its March 22 meeting. The retroactive pay increase does not include “overtime, additional hours or hours worked during the 2017 summer school program,” according to the agreement. In addition, no changes were made in the district’s contribution to the

classified staff ’s health and welfare benefits. A “Me Too Clause” was also part of the compensation package, which states that “the salary schedule adjustment shall not be lower than any across-theboard percentage salary increases negotiated with any other bargaining unit.” However, the Gilroy Teachers Association are at an impasse with district negotiators on a new contract. The certificated staff, which includes teachers and has been working without a contract since June 2017, is asking for a 6 percent pay raise and for the district to contribute an additional 5 percent for health benefits. The district’s offer is the same to the teachers as it was to the classified staff. “The tentative agreement reached between Gilroy Unified School District and California School Employees Association is within the

fiscal constraint of the District,” according to the staff report.

Board approves calendars for next two school years

The Gilroy Unified School District Board of Trustees approved the 2018-19 and 2019-20 Instructional and Gilroy Teachers Association Certificated Work Calendars at itsMarch 22 meeting. The calendars meet the required 180 student instructional days and three staff development days, according to the report. For 2018-2019 school term, the first day of student instruction is scheduled for Aug. 16, 2018 and the last day of instruction will be Friday, June 7, 2019. For 2019-2020, the first day of student instruction is set at Aug. 14, 2019 and the last day of instruction will be Friday, June 5, 2020.

Mosquito control office invites public April 17 COUNTY ASKS PUBLIC TO ITS MOSQUITO CONTROL OFFICE OPEN HOUSE Staff Report

The County of Santa Clara Vector Control District will host its fourth annual open house from on Tuesday April 17, from 10am to 3pm. The event at the mosquito-control headquarters at 1580 Berger Drive,San Jose will celebrate 30 years of protecting public health with a family-friendly event that provides education about pest management and the importance of mosquito and vector control. The Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California has designated April 15-21 as Mosquito Awareness Week.

Educational activities include watching mosquitofish in action, helping fight West Nile Virus in your yard, inspecting the habitats of bees and beehives, and conducting a mock backyard inspection with vector biologists. Attendees can also bring in bugs for identification by our entomologists and learn about native Bay Area species. Specialized equipment on display includes marshland vehicles used for treatments in difficult-to-reach waterways. Laboratory tours, demonstrations for controlling rats and mice, arts and crafts for kids, and more will take place throughout the event. The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley will educate attendees on living compatibly with our local wildlife. Hendrix, a black lab mix who alerts inspectors of illegal fruit, plants and insects entering the county, will be

at the open house for guests to interact with and pet. “This is a wonderful educational experience for kids and adults to learn first-hand how to prevent the spread of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses, ticks and other potentially dangerous vectors,” said Vector Control District Manager Dr. Nayer Zahiri. “Even simple, individual acts such as dumping standing water can go a long way in preventing diseases such as West Nile Virus.” In addition to Vector Control, other Consumer and Environmental Protection Agency departments participating are Consumer Protection Division, Clean Water, Recycle and Waste Reduction, and Animal Care and Control.

Uvas Canyon Park reopens to public COUNTY ASKS RESERVATIONS FOR PARKING ON WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS Staff report

Uvas Canyon County Park has reopened after heavy rains last winter forced its closure for more than a year, and reservations for parking are now required on weekends and holidays, according to authorities. In February 2017, torrential storms caused so much damage to Croy Road—the rural mountain road that leads into Uvas Canyon— that it was impassable to most vehicles, according to Santa Clara County Parks staff. However, the county roads department has completed

the repairs, and Uvas Canyon County Park is now open. To help ease the parking and traffic situation at the park and on Croy Road, the parks department has implemented a weekend and holiday parking reservation system, starting Saturday, April 7. Visitors will now have to book a parking spot in advance for a $6 vehicle entry fee on weekends and holidays. The new reservation process will be in effect through June, or as long as visitation remains high. Park visitors who wish to park their vehicle in the park parking lot will have two parking time slots to choose from: 70 spaces will be available from 8am to noon; and 55 spaces will be available for a second window from 1pm to 5pm. All parking requests must be

completed before 8pm the evening before visiting the park. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Visitors who have purchased annual passes can call the reservation line and ask for the parking fee to be waived after their pass has been verified. The online parking reservation process will not impact park campers or their vehicles included with their campsite reservation, according to parks staff. To make a reservation, call the reservation line during business hours at (408) 355-2201. The online reservation system is coming soon, and will be found at gooutsideandplay.org. Uvas Canyon County Park is located at 8515 Croy Road, about 13 miles southwest of downtown Morgan Hill.

Visitors who have purchased annual passes can call (408) 355-2201 and ask for the parking fee to be waived after their pass has been verified.

SUMMARY On March 30, 2018, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for approval to increase rates related to the Catastrophic Event Memorandum Account (CEMA). The application seeks recovery of $588 million for the following recorded costs related to PG&E’s 2016 and 2017 emergency work: • Fire and storm emergency response • Drought-related work such as pruning and removing hazardous trees and vegetation The application also includes $555 million for forecasted costs related to the drought-related work referenced above in 2018 and 2019, for a total of $1.1 billion included in the application. No costs associated with the October 2017 Northern California wildfires or the 2015 Butte Fire are included in this application. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover costs in electric rates beginning January 1, 2019. PG&E is proposing the recovery of costs and any rate increase be extended over a two-year period to reduce the impact on customer bills. BACKGROUND CEMA is used to record unexpected costs incurred as a result of significant events declared to be disasters by the state of California or federal authorities. Costs are related to the following: a) safely restoring utility services to customers during declared natural disasters b) repairing, replacing or restoring damaged utility facilities c) complying with governmental agency orders CEMA is directly associated with restoring and repairing damage to critical energy infrastructure as well as PG&E facilities that help deliver energy. In addition, PG&E has been directed by the CPUC to perform additional work related to reducing fire risk. Previously, PG&E has recovered CEMA-related costs after they were incurred. Due to the increasing fire risk mitigation work required by the CPUC, PG&E is requesting to recover future costs in advance. These costs will include proposals to address severe tree mortality and management of hazardous trees. HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT ME? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. A summary of the rate impact by customer class was provided in the original bill insert sent to customers in April and May. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential Bundled Non-CARE customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $111.59 to $116.89, or 4.7 percent. Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage. PG&E customer service is available to help customers with energy saving tips and tools which can help minimize the impact of any bill increase. HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT CUSTOMERS WHO BUY ELECTRICITY FROM A THIRD PARTY? Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. Within this category, residential customers will see an increase in rates. On average, DA and CCA customers will see an increase of 5.7 percent. Departing Load customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, they are required to pay certain charges as required by law or CPUC decision. These customers will not be impacted by this application. HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PG&E’S PROPOSALS? If you have questions about PG&E’s filing, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. For TTY (speech and hard of hearing), call 1-800-652-4712. If you would like a copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits, please write to PG&E at the address below: Pacific Gas and Electric Company 2018 CEMA Application (A.18-03-015) P.O. Box 7442 San Francisco, CA 94120 A copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits is also available for review at the CPUC’s Central Files Office by appointment only. For more information, contact aljcentralfilesid@cpuc.ca.gov or 1-415-703-2045. PG&E’s Application (without exhibits) is available on the CPUC’s website at www.cpuc.ca.gov. CPUC PROCESS This application will be assigned to an Administrative Law Judge (Judge) who will determine how to receive evidence and other related documents necessary for the CPUC to establish a record upon which to base its decision. Evidentiary hearings may be held where parties will present their testimony and may be subject to cross-examination by other parties. These evidentiary hearings are open to the public, but only those who are formal parties in the case can participate. After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the hearings, the assigned Judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s proposal, modify it or deny it. Any of the five CPUC Commissioners may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a scheduled CPUC Voting Meeting. The Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) may review this application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. ORA has a multidisciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. For more information about ORA, please call 1-415-703-1584, email ora@cpuc.ca.gov or visit ORA’s website at www.ora.ca.gov. STAY INFORMED If you would like to follow this proceeding, or any other issue before the CPUC, you may use the CPUC’s free subscription service. Sign up at http://subscribecpuc.cpuc.ca.gov/. If you would like to learn how you can participate in the proceeding, have informal comments about the application or have questions about the CPUC processes, you may access the CPUC’s Public Advisor Office (PAO) webpage at http://consumers.cpuc.ca.gov/pao/. You may also contact the PAO as follows: Email: public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov Mail: CPUC Public Advisor’s Office 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 Call: 1-866-849-8390 (toll-free) or 1-415-703-2074 TTY: 1-866-836-7825 (toll-free) or 1-415-703-5282 If you are contacting the CPUC, please include the application number (2018 CEMA Application; A.18-03-015). All comments will be circulated to the Commissioners, the assigned Judge and appropriate CPUC staff and will become public record.

Save a life by signing up to be an organ donor

he month of April has been designated as National Donate Life Month to encourage Americans to register as organ donors, educate our communities about the need for organ donations and celebrate those who have saved lives through the gift of donation. The need for organ, eye or tissue donors is ongoing and can potentially save someone’s life. Unfortunately, while 95 percent of Americans have no issue with registering to be a donor, only 54 percent are actually registered to donate their organs. The gap between those willing to donate and those who are registered donors contributes to the 115,000-person waiting list for organs. Every day, 22 people die waiting on the list. Organ donation after death brings comfort and hope to families by turning a tragedy into renewed life. In 2016 alone, 33,600 patients were given the gift of life by transplants from willing donors. Signing up to be an organ donor is as easy as marking a “Yes” box at the DMV when getting or renewing your driver’s license or ID card. You can also sign up online at donatelife. net/register/. People of any age, background, or medical history can become donors after death, and there is absolutely no cost to donors or their families. The process

to establish whether your remains are eligible for donations is thorough and done independently from the transplant process.

People of any age, background, or medical history can become donors after death, and there is absolutely no cost to donors or their families. Also, becoming a donor does not impede or change funeral arrangements. Additionally, in some instances, you can even become a living donor and donate a portion of your liver, lung, pancreas or a kidney. This April, please reflect on the lives of those touched by donation and transplantation, and join me as you register to become an organ donor. Learn more about National Donate Life month at donatelife.net or donatelifecalifornia.org/. Sen. Bill Monning represents the 17th State Senate District, which includes all of San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz counties, and portions of Monterey and Santa Clara counties.

Give access to records California Senate Bill 1421 would bring longoverdue transparency to records relating to police misconduct. The bill would require disclosure of records relating to investigations of serious police misconduct, including officer-involved shootings and instances where officers have lied under oath. Law enforcement officers are alone among public employees in California (at least those who work for agencies subject to the California Public Records Act) in being able to keep secret even confirmed allegations of misconduct. For everyone except police officers, investigations into misconduct must be made public if the charges are “wellfounded,” or if discipline is imposed. California has long been an outlier in the degree to which it allows records created by law enforcement to be kept out of public view. Many if not most states require, for example, the disclosure of police reports; California does not. Of even greater importance to the greater public good, California unlike a majority of states requires secrecy for records about alleged (and even confirmed) police misconduct. There is no principled reason in law or policy for police officer misconduct files to remain under this shroud of secrecy. Given the extraordinary power and discretion that law enforcement officers have, when they abuse the public trust, the public is entitled to know the details.

Parolee help center shifts to Gilroy GILROY MAYOR SUPPORTS IT BUT WASN’T CONSULTED Michael Moore Reporter

The South County Reentry Resource Center—which offers a variety of services to help parolees and probation clients reintegrate into society—will celebrate a grand opening at its new location at 8425 Murray Ave. in Gilroy later this month. The center opened at its first location at the San Martin county government center on Highland Avenue in 2015 at the request of law enforcement and elected officials in both Morgan Hill and Gilroy. Since then, county authorities have sought a location that is more accessible to the residents who are likely to use its

available services. They found such a site at the new location, which is strategically positioned in the vicinity of other resources that former inmates—who may now be struggling with mental illness, substance abuse and financial difficulties—might need. Nearby is a VTA bus stop, as well as offices for Community Solutions, Social Services and the Gilroy Compassion Center. “The idea is to provide services and assessments in Gilroy,” said Santa Clara County Director of Reentry Services Javier Aguirre. “Currently, a lot of folks on probation have to come to San Jose to see their (probation officer) and receive services, but we’re growing these services in South County.” The new South County Reentry Resource Center will host a grand opening the morning of April 24, Aguirre said.

A similar reentry center has been open in San Jose since 2012. The South County center was initially requested by the police chiefs of Morgan Hill and Gilroy in late 2014, specifically in response to the abundance of inmates being released under the state law AB109. This law shifted responsibility for certain convicted felons from state to county authorities upon their release from jail or prison, and allowed some individuals to serve their sentences in county jails rather than state prisons. Since 2011, 7,176 former inmates have reentered Santa Clara County under this law, known as “realignment,” according to the Office of Reentry Services’ December 2017 semi-annual report. Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman said the South County center is modeled

on the one in San Jose, which he noted has gained high praise from state officials for its practices in helping clients get back on their feet and stay out of jail. “The more convenient you can make it for people that use these services, the more likely they are to use the services,” Wasserman said. “Our reentry centers have made a huge reduction in the typical recidivism rate in Santa Clara County.” Recidivism—the rate at which former inmates reoffend and go back to jail— has indeed dropped locally since 2011. Specifically, the recidivism rate among AB109 clients since 2011 has dropped 11 percent, from 56 percent before realignment to 45 percent after the law was established, according to another report from the office of reentry services. The recidivism rate among all felons—including those not impacted by AB109—has

dropped from 46 percent to 36 percent in Santa Clara County since 2011. County reentry services served more than 10,000 clients from 2011 to 2016, and about onethird of these are AB109 clients. These clients have enrolled in supportive housing, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, public benefits, faith-based services and other services offered or referred by the reentry centers in San Jose and Gilroy (and formerly in San Martin). The vast majority of these clients are served by the San Jose center, but there are enough South County residents who qualify for the services that the Gilroy facility is expected to stay busy. Most of those in South County who qualify live in or near Gilroy, according to authorities. Gilroy Mayor Roland

Velasco—who serves on Wasserman’s staff—said it was a previous mayor and a previous police chief (Denise Turner) who had requested the relocation of the South County Reentry Center to Gilroy. He said current county officials did not consult with him or any other city officials before finalizing the move. However, he supports the county’s effort to reintegrate convicted felons into the society in a productive way. “I’m not a fan of AB109 or Prop 47 or Prop 57,” Velasco said, referring to two other state laws that have been criticized by law enforcement authorities for flooding the streets with more convicted criminals. “I want the reentry center to be successful, providing services for referral to faith-based organizations, group therapy (and) drug and alcohol treatment.”

Well water fees to increase on July 1 Water, 1

these well help underwrite the costs of the infrastructure and services required to deliver clean, safe drinking water to county residents and businesses. In addition to this week’s meeting, the ratesetting process also includes a formal protest procedure by which well owners, operators, and owners of land upon which a well is located can object to the proposed increase in rates. The water district is

alllowed to charge for the protection and augmentation of water supplies from those who pump their own groundwater, which includes residences as well as “muncipal systems, farms and ranches. Charges may be collected from all those within a zone who own or operate water-producing wells, whether currently active or not. “The historic drought of 2012 to 2016 may be over, but drought

conditions could return at any time,” the district warned. “In fact, this winter-to-date has been uncharacteristically dry, providing a sober reminder that we must make conservation a way of life. To prepare for the next drought, we must invest in large infrastructure projects.” The district said seismic retrofits and upgrades at several dams, most notably Anderson Dam, are critical.

New Gilroy gym seeks to help young boxers Pound for Pound, 1 What makes Pound 4 Pound really pop, is the coaching. Aside from Ruben, who’s been training fighters for 40 years, coaches include former fighters Carol Siracusa and Pat Deleon. The Ghost, when he’s not working to train his 11-year-old son Robert Jr. or away at his job as a fight commentator for Fox Sports, is also a coach. “It’s so cool, having a world champion around pumps me up,” said Justin Cardona an amateur fighter. “I’ve always looked up to him. He’s my favorite fighter.” In the meantime, there’s plenty to do, from pro-fighters to budding amateurs, youngsters, the elderly, and regular Joes who are looking to change their exercise routines—anyone can learn to box, for the mind, body and the soul. “We do something new every day, and I’m here for

anyone who comes in the gym,” Ruben said. “In the morning we have kickboxing aerobics for adults. It’s great cardio for the heart, and it gets your blood pumping. It’s an hour of great training.” As the fighters warmed up for an afternoon of sparring, Gilroyan Jim Balbas got in a morning workout. After a few minutes on the speed bag, sweat poured from Balbas’ body. “It’s awesome, and if you’re trying to get in shape, coming here is very motivating, and it’s a welcoming atmosphere,” Balbas said. “Where else can a guy come in from the street and have guys like this helping you out?” Ruben Guerrero has another purpose. He wants to continue to build a boxing legacy out of the youth of Gilroy, just like he did with his kids, just like Robert. “We want to get people in shape and give kids someplace to go, instead of

doing stuff on the streets that can get them in trouble,” Ruben said. “My goal is to build an Olympic team from the young kids here in Gilroy, just like my boys. We want to keep that legacy going. One day, we’ll have a gold medalist from Gilroy.” While the Guerrero’s want to train a new generation of champion fighters, they are running a business. Full access memberships at Pound 4 Pound costs $120 a month for 6-month or 12-month contracts, $140 for a onemonth membership, or $20 to work out for the day. Still, they look for ways to defray the cost to make the gym accessible for those who can’t afford memberships. Pound 4 Pound, at 7648 Monterey St is open Monday through Saturday. Class schedules and prices can be found at pound4poundgym.com.

CHP to recognize MH resident for brave act JOSE PEREZ, VIDAL FLORES RESCUED TWO PEOPLE FROM BURNING CRASH Staff report

The California Highway Patrol will recognize two men—one a Morgan Hill resident—for saving the lives of two people involved in a 2017 traffic accident, according to authorities. An awards ceremony for Jose Perez, of Morgan Hill, will take place on a date to be announced at the Hollister-Gilroy Area CHP office, 740 Renz Lane. Alexander Pittaro, of Sen. Bill Monning’s office, as well as CHP Coastal Division Chief L.D. Maples, Assistant Chief

Paul Vincent and Capt. Scott E. Parker will present Perez with the CHP Commissioner’s Medal of Distinction Award. To be recognized at a separate ceremony is Vidal Flores, who helped Perez remove two occupants from a burning vehicle in the moments after the same accident, which took place in unincorporated Gilroy. About 12pm Jan. 21, 2017, a head-on collision resulting in a fatality occurred on SR 152 east of San Felipe Road, according to authorities. A 2002 Mercedes and 2005 Ford pickup had collided into each other. A third vehicle, a 2012 Scion sedan, was also involved in the accident. The driver and passenger of the Ford suffered major injuries to their lower extremities as a result of the

collision, and were incapacitated, according to authorities. Perez and Flores were passing by the scene in their respective vehicles moments after the accident, and stopped to help. The two safely removed both occupants from the Ford, police said. Minutes after the Good Samaritans removed the occupants out and away from the vehicle, the passenger compartment of the Ford became fully engulfed in flames, according to the CHP. “If not for the selfless acts of Jose Perez and Vidal Flores, both the driver and passenger of the Ford pickup would have perished in the flames,” reads a press release from the CHP. Flores will also receive the Medal of Distinction at a separate ceremony, authorities said.

Alexander Station to open in Sept. APPLICATIONS ARE POURING INTO NEW APARTMENTS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Barry Holtzclaw

The expected opening date for the Alexander Station Apartments, the 262-unit affordable apartment complex on Alexander Street has been delayed again. The Rental staff now hope the apartments will open in late September. Despite the latest delay, rental pplications at Alexander Station are still coming in—anywhere from 100 to 150 new inquiries a day. So far, more than 5,000 potential residents have sent in applications since last summer. “Because of the delay, we’re not sure how many applicants will still be interested,” said rental agent Laura Cortez from the Alexander Station rental office at 555 Mayock Road. “We’re still taking applications, and we’re putting them on a wait list.” Estimations about when Alexander Station will open have varied. In July, Pacific Companies Chief Portfolio Officer Denise Carter estimated that Pacific West Builders would complete the project in mid-2018. Amanda Sanders, District Manager for US Residential, said in an email in October that the project would open In January. “We were told that there was a shortage of workers,” Cortez said of the delay.

Last year’s heavy rains delayed construction for months. Buckling floors necessitated repairs, further complicating an already complicated $95 million project. Despite complaints about the scope and design of the project, Alexander Station is expected to fill a gap in the need for affordable housing in southern Santa Clara County. Rents at Alexander Station will range from $1,076 to $1,300 for a one-bedroom unit and $1,650 to $1,997 for a four-bedroom unit. According to rentcafe. com, the average rent in Santa Clara County for all rentals is $2,706. While filling an affordable niche, rumors regarding Alexander Station have swirled since Pacific West broke ground on the project. Townwide social media buzz has speculated that residents would be bused in from the Bay Area. Gilroyans raised other concerns over parking, traffic, and a glut of new students into the Gilroy Unified School District. As questions go unresolved, work has progressed, and the exterior of the northern building at the corner of Alexander and East Tenth Streets is completed. In November property management for Alexander Station was transferred from US Residential to Aperto Property Management Inc. Sanders remains property manager for the property.

SLOW PROGRESS Real estate marketers speculate that labor shortages have slowed

progress at Alexander Station apartments on 10th Street in Gilroy.

GILROY DISPATCH

City considers protecting its trees Trees, 1

or deemed a threat to the public health, safety and welfare by the Planning Division Manager.” However there are no provisions in either the policy or the current Zoning Ordinance that regulate the removal of significant trees on private property when that private property is not part of a development project. Two past incidents of removal of very significant oak trees illustrate the nature of the problem, according to the staff report. In the first, a private property owner planning to develop a hillside lot in the Country Estates neighborhood removed a healthy oak tree estimate to be over 30 inches in diameter in order to expand the buildable area of the lot. The tree had been evaluated as part of an environmental analysis and identified for preservation as part of the approved Country Estates Planning subdivision approval. Under the proposed ordinance, a tree removal permit and arborist report would have analyzed the tree’s health and presented potential options for preservation. The ordinance also includes possible

findings to justify removal, including the creation of a disproportionate economic hardship to the property owner or limits the buildable area of the lot by 25 percent or more. In addition, if removal is approved, the ordinance requires planting of replacement trees. In the second more recent example, a massive oak tree located on the grounds of the Rebekah Children’s Home had multiple limbs connected with cables to improve the tree’s structural integrity. A large limb fell and a tree service, not a certified arborist, was called to evaluate the tree. In the process, other cables were cut, causing more limbs to fall and the tree became unsafe, in the opinion of that tree service. As a result, the tree service proceeded to cut down the tree. The proposed ordinance includes provisions for dealing with emergency situations caused by the hazardous condition of a protected tree. In such cases, the ordinance authorizes the property owner to take the minimal necessary actions to reduce or eliminate the immediate hazard, without first applying for a permit.

Barry Holtzclaw

urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the wellbeing of this and future generations.” With that in mind, the draft ordinance is being rexamined by city staff. Staff reported that currently, there are limited restrictions to protect the city’s tree resources, and there has been an increase in removal of significant trees. “The proposed ordinance amendment would protect existing and future significant trees and tree communities throughout the city by establishing a process to regulate their removal,” the staff report stated. The council is being asked to consider establishing an ordinance to recognize and protect significant trees, tree communities and heritage trees on private property by creating a new tree removal permit process. Since 1988, staff has applied a Consolidated Landscape Policy during review of new development projects. The policy states that “all significant trees shall be maintained by the property owner until deemed insignificant by a public hearing

MILLER AVENUE These stately trees line Miller Avenue,

where some new trees have been planted. The condition of the tree would be documented prior to any such actions, the city would be notified within five working days, and a tree removal permit and arborist report would still be required. Under the ordinance, replacement trees would have been required to be

placed on the grounds of the Children’s Home. The draft Protected Tree Removal Ordinance protects indigenous trees such as all types of oaks, California Bay, Big Leaf Maple, Madrone, California Sycamore, California Buckeye, and Alder, and defines a protected tree as

any indigenous tree with a trunk at least 19 inches in circumference. An approved tree removal permit would be required prior to any action to cut down, remove, poison or otherwise damage, kill, or destroy or cause to be removed a protected tree on private property.

Hecker Pass attracts more retail, housing NEIGHBORS COMPLAIN OF NEW GROWTH ALLOWED IN PLAN Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

A San Jose developer will be seeking city approval this year for restaurants, retail shops, residences and a winery building near Hecker Pass Road. The Gilroy Planning Commision and City Council will review the application from Hecker Pass Commercial LLC for final approval with the next several months.

Developer Skip Spiering’s plan will use a portion of a 6-acre property designated as “Agri-tourist commercial” in the city’s Hecker Pass Specific Plan written more than 10 years ago. Hecker Pass Commercial hopes to get approval to use the ground floor of two of three buildings for commercial use while the second floor will be 22 onebedroom or two-bedroom apartments, designed as live/work space. The winery will feature a tasting room, but the building will also be used for production and storage. Live/work residential units are designed to mix living space with

workspace for small businesses, entrepreneurs, or artists. The 22 apartments will range between 600 to 800 square feet each, all on the second story. EMC Planning Group LLC, an environmental consulting firm out of Monterey, submitted an environmental mitigation report to the city on Aug. 30, 2017, and determined that the Hecker Pass Commercial Project, “will not have any significant impacts on the environment,” and, “is a logical component of the existing land use of this area.” Residents have raised concerns that the project does not conform with

the environmental intention of the Hecker Pass Specific Plan, which has designated the Hecker Pass area as “The Jewel of Gilroy.” Residents have also raised concerns over increased traffic on residential streets, and that Meritage Homes did not notify them of the project when they bought their homes. “My husband and I decided to buy our home from Meritage because of the beautiful and peaceful location here, but even after several inquiries during the buying process, we were never told that commercial traffic would come on the street in front of our

home,” said Rosie Sanborn, a concerned homeowner near the development. Spiering has met with concerned homeowners nearby, but their worries remain. “We would have loved to have the entrance off Hecker Pass Road, but between the city and Caltrans, we can’t do that,” Spiering said. “The plan was always to use the Two Oak Lane entrance. The first reaction is, ‘it’s going to be right on my driveway.' That’s not going to happen. There won’t be that much traffic.” Hecker Pass Road, which the Hecker Pass Specific Plan deems to a

gateway to the city, itself poses a challenge for the development. “They don’t like access off the highway; you would need 400 feet each way for acceleration and deceleration lanes,” Spiering said. “That would wipe out about 15 to over 20 trees, but that’s what you would need because of the speed limit there.” The full findings of the report are available at http://www.cityofgilroy. org/298/DevelopmentActivity-Projects. The Hecker Pass Specific Plan is also available at https:// www.cityofgilroy.org/277/ Hecker-Pass-SpecificPlan.

SERIOUS GAME Christopher High senior left-hander Sean Straub delivers a pitch in the team’s 5-0 win over Branham Monday. The Cougars seem primed for a second-half run in the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division, as all of their league losses have come by two runs or less

COUGARS TRIO OF PITCHERS GET THE JOB DONE emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

Armed with a three-man rotation that is right up there with the best in the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division, the Christopher High baseball team seems primed for a second-half run and upper-tier finish in the standings. The Cougars entered the week at 6-6-1 overall and 3-5 in league, with four of the losses coming by two runs or less. It’s no wonder Christopher feels it is on the verge of breaking through in a big way. The three Christopher starters— seniors Jonathan Newman and Sean Straub and junior Jacob Ornellas—are a big reason why the Cougars have been in every league contest thus far. Cougars coach Ryan Dequin has described the trio’s performance as phenomenal, and the stats bore that out. Newman and Straub have nearly identical numbers, having pitched 27 2/3 innings entering this week’s action. Both have allowed three earned runs (0.51 ERA), and walked five. Newman has 39 strikeouts and Straub 27, meaning the two combined are averaging more than a strikeout per inning. Ornellas has come on strong in his first season on the varsity, pitching 9 1/3 innings and allowing 10 hits and five earned runs while striking out

six. Since the three pitchers have been fantastic, they drive each other to be better through friendly competition. “We’re performing so well right now there is a supporting and building up of each other type of competition,” Newman said. Newman and Straub both said their best performances of the season came in the two-game set against San Benito to open up Gabilan Division play. In Newman’s start, he allowed just two hits and no runs over seven innings in a 2-0 loss; in Straub’s start, he yielded just four hits and one run—zero earned—in 6 1/3 innings in a 1-0 defeat. Newman had his fastball, cutter, curveball and changeup working, while Straub has an equally similar potent pitching game. Ornellas said his best start came in a 4-3 loss to Monterey, a game in which Ornellas pounded the strike zone and let his defense make plays. Ornellas, who is armed with a 2-seam fastball, slider and changeup, is the least heralded of the three but quietly making an impact. The 6-foot, 175-pounder had a key breakthrough the summer before his freshman year, when he dropped his arm angle on his delivery, resulting in a tough freshman season on the freshmen team. After working out the kinks, Ornellas had a strong sophomore season on the junior varsity squad before earning a spot on the varsity this season. Ornellas credits DUB Baseball’s Erik Wagle for helping him with the change of arm angle, which Ornellas credits for

TOUGH TO HIT Cougars pitchers Sean Straub, Jonathan Newman and Jacob Ornellas have been outstanding this season. changing the trajectory of his career for the better. Ornellas has already started meal prepping, which many pro athletes either do or have someone do for them to eat healthy and fuel the body for peak performance. Ornellas used to be a competitive skateboarder before his friends encouraged him to play baseball. As the years went on, baseball came to the forefront and skateboarding faded into the distance. For Straub, baseball has always been his No. 1 sport. The 6-2, 195-pounder started playing the sport at 6 and pitching at 11. Over the years, Straub’s changeup has become his bread and butter pitch, something he can throw on any count with supreme

confidence. Straub’s changeup has plenty of movement, and combined with his mid-80s mph fastball and curveball, it’s no wonder batters are having a tough time making contact. “My changeup has got a good break to it, and I can use it in any situation,” he said. “It’s a pitch that has always been there for me, and most of my strikeouts come from that pitch, so it’s a huge factor.” Straub credits his travel ball pitching coach, Mike Coderolli of Hardtke Baseball Academy, for helping his body stay balanced and his mechanics sound so “I can get the pitches where I need to be instead of everything being so fluid.” Straub’s youngest brother, Owen, is a catcher for Gilroy’s freshmen team.

“Growing up he would catch all my bullpens, and it was really fun sharing that experience with him,” Straub said. “I love pitching because you’re in control of the game.” Newman expressed similar sentiments, falling in love with pitching from the first time he took the mound as an 11 year old for the Double-A Kanas City Royals Little League team in Folsom. “The team needed someone to pitch, and I hopped on the mound,” he said. “After the first pitch, I knew it was something I loved and something to strive for. I like controlling the tempo of the game and playing a big part in leading the team to victory. The pitcher and catcher have supreme roles because they set the tone for the game.” Newman played his first

two years of high school ball at Sobrato High— he made the varsity as a freshman—before his family moved from South San Jose to Gilroy for his junior year. Newman really came into his own last season, and this season he’s been better than ever. The 5-11, 147-pound right-hander pointed to his freshman season as playing a key role in his development. “Being exposed to a high level of competition at such a young age will definitely make you better in the long run,” said Newman, who has remained steadfast with a strong work ethic. “Talent helps, but reaching a high level has more to do with the work ethic. After you put in a lot of work, there is a certain beauty to see how it has transformed your game as a player.”

It was the breakthrough Harding was waiting for, and an emotional one as she did it in front of family and friends. “I looked up to see my time, slapped the water and screamed with joy,” she said. “I saw 25.58 and was so proud. I could see my family cheering and couldn’t be happier. I’m trying to remake that moment again this year.”

LOVE TO SWIM Katelyn Brolin and Ashley Harding are Gilroy High seniors who look to hit multiple Central Coast Section qualifying times in the relays and individual events.

Robert Eliason

It will probably take yet another Herculean effort for Harding to match or surpass her personal-best, but she’s confident of peaking at the perfect time. Harding credits Gilroy coach Doug Pickford for not only getting the swimmers in supreme condition, but helping them with their technique. “Coach is known for his conditioning drills, but I can go to him with questions and he helps me a lot,” said Harding, who also has a goal to qualify for CCS in the 100 breast stroke. “He’s great at helping us taper so our body is in prime condition to do well in the most important races. Coach Doug also makes swimming a fun experience for everyone.” Even though Harding grew up swimming countless hours in her backyard, she never thought about doing it competitively until high school. Interestingly enough, Harding took up water polo in her sophomore season, a year before she started competing with the swim squad. After Harding’s initial

In their final year of high school swimming, Ashley Harding and Katelyn Brolin are making it count. The two, along with Rachell Carnell and Ellie Pickford, make up Gilroy High’s 200-yard freestyle and medley relay teams that are close to hitting Central Coast Section meet-qualifying times. Harding has goals to qualify for CCS in the 50 free and 100 breast stroke, while Brolin is aiming to qualify in the 100 backstroke. Whatever happens, the two seniors are having the most fun they’ve ever had in the pool. “I’m really pushing myself in practice and doing a lot better than I was at the end of last season,” Brolin said. “It’s been a super good season so far,” Harding said. “I’m doing better than I was at this point last season. I know my strokes are better, I have experience and I’m comfortable in the water. There are a lot of little different things I learned last year in terms of diving into the pool and my turn that have helped me to speed up a lot.” Brolin has a personalbest time of 1 minute, 8 seconds in the backstroke, and she credits her time in the weight room and positive attitude as the keys to her success this season,

“I’ve been doing a lot of weight training in the morning, and I think overall my mindset is better,” she said. “I’m more positive and dedicated to the sport—I don’t dread it like I did last year. It’s my last year of swimming, and I want to do my best.” The busyness and pressures of her junior year made swimming a chore for Brolin, who has rediscovered her love for the sport this season. Brolin is hoping for more dramatics like last season, when the 200 free relay team qualified for CCS in its final chance to do so—in the Monterey Bay League Championships. “A lot of people didn’t think we could do it because we had to drop 5 seconds to hit the cutoff time,” Brolin said. “It was a good feeling for everyone to be pumped in our league finals.” Brolin had two outstanding seasons as a junior and senior playing on the water polo team, averaging three goals per game while earning AllMBL First Team honors last season. Brolin only started playing water polo during her junior year, and she wishes she started the sport as a freshman. Harding has similar sentiments to Brolin when it comes to swimming, having wished she tried out for the team in her freshman year. Harding has made up for lost time in a big way, as she qualified for the 2017 CCS Meet in the 50 free in a personal-best 25.58 seconds in the Monterey Bay

and activities growing up, Harding found her calling in the pool. Brolin did, too, and they’ve got a handful of meets to hit their marks.

“I’m not really good at anything on land, but being in the water works for me,” Harding said. It works for Brolin, too.

arcel Dubois, age 73, of Morgan Hill passed away peacefully on April 5, 2018, surrounded by his family. Born April 3, 1945 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to Philibert and Marie Rose (Ferland) Dubois, Marcel grew up in Lewiston, Maine with his five siblings. He attended St. Dominic High School where he earned excellent grades, made life-long friends, and was named “Class Clown.” He loved to laugh! Marcel met the love of his life, Monique (Asselin), at age 15. After losing his dad at age 16, he and his siblings helped his mother run their corner market and the family’s Belmont Hotel in Lewiston, Maine. Marcel and Monique married on October 24, 1964. After attending Wentworth College and earning an Associate’s degree in Engineering, he proudly took a job at IBM. He later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Santa Clara University. In addition to a 35-year career with IBM, Marcel also worked for Anritsu and Hospira.

In 1970, Roxanne and Nicole in tow, Marcel and Monique relocated to California, where Marcel (Marc) was born. Marcel loved to socialize and organized many gatherings and annual events, including neighborhood block parties volleyball tournaments, and bicycle trips between wineries. Marcel loved to camp, play cards, start home improvement projects, coach soccer, and play tennis. He also loved to ski, sharing this talent with countless teens from St. Catherine’s Youth Group. An avid golfer, Marcel spent many days on the course and later taught Monique the love of the game. Marcel was a loyal fan of the New England Patriots, the Red Sox, and the Sharks and could be heard cheering loudly from far away! He was passionate about music and looked forward to happy hour on the porch with his neighbors while listening to the Oldies, Classic Rock, and of course, the Blues. Holidays were magical with Marcel; his excitement for parades and fireworks, and his visits as Santa were gifts to us all. Marcel and Monique loved to travel and visited Hawaii, France, England, Hong Kong, Thailand, Italy, and many U.S. landmarks. Above all, Marcel loved his childhood sweetheart, his best friend, his wife, the mother of his children, Monique, and all of his family. Marcel is survived by his wife of more than 53 years, Monique (Asselin) Dubois, three children Roxanne, Nicole, and Marcel, sons-in-law Doug Robinson and Scott Immel, daughter-in-law Lorraine (Townsend) Dubois, nine grandchildren: Melissa, Brooke, Rebecca, Matthew, Benjamin, Bradley, Timothy, Andrew, and Devin, and siblings Georges Henri, Sr. Monica, Denis, and Denise, as well as many nieces, nephews and their children. Marcel is preceded in death by his parents, Phillibert and Marie Rose (Ferland) Dubois, brother Norman, sisterin-law Rejeanne (Bernier) Dubois, sister-in-law Jeannine (Saucier) Dubois, father- and mother-in-law Normand and Rejane Asselin, nephew Michael Dubois, and dear friend Barbara Schrader. A memorial Mass will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at St. Catherine’s Church, Morgan Hill. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Dementia Society (www.dementiasociety.org) or Operation Smile (www.operationsmile.org) in honor of Marcel’s infectious smile. “Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.” Now and Forever.

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. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT, AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
