SALINAS-TO-SJ RAIL ROUTE THROUGH GILROY IS PLAN IN MONTEREY By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
➝ Caltrain, 14
Robert Eliason
The 40-year dream of restoring passenger rail service—stoked by increasing population and traffic congestion—from Gilroy south to Salinas and/or Hollister has found new life in two counties. Monterey County officials this week began construction of an $81 million project to build a new train station and other railroad upgrades, which they claim could bring daily railroad service to Gilroy and the Bay Area by 2020. Meanwhile, San Benito county transportation officials this spring received a $150,000 grant for an “indepth feasibility assessment of public transit projects, including passenger rail, to help reduce congestion along Highway 25.” One problem: No

Rodeo rocks weekend CROWDS WELCOME THE RETURN OF WRANGLERS, BULLS AND BRONCOS AFTER 60 YEARS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
The Gilroy Rodeo is back, and judging by the attendance on the first weekend, there may be more rodeos to come. The nearly 6,000-seat arena on Dunlap Road was almost full on both Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 11-12,
no rider suffered any serious injuries, and other than a few minor bumps in the road, the day went off without a hitch. The two-day event was resurrected after a 60-year hiatus, and rodeo organizer Erik Martin was happy and relieved as the first day came to a close. “It’s good to have that one out of the chute,” Martin said. “It was definitely a success. Look at the stands. People were coming up to me thanking me for doing this. I had their total support; I was getting hugs. It was an awesome day.” As late as 3pm on Friday,
Martin had not been sure how tickets were selling. “We were still building the arena on Friday when we got the last load of sand,” Martin said. “For the first year, the first rodeo, it was off the charts.” Rodeo judges consider both the people and animals athletes at the rodeo. Gilroyan Alyssa Ferguson’s 10-year-old horse Bay Mare was all business. Bay Mare swung her head to the right and seemed offended at the notion that she needed prodding to run any faster. “I feel pretty good; it’s great to
compete at a hometown rodeo,” said Ferguson, who was still riding an adrenaline rush after she had a go in the barrel race. “There’s isn’t anything else like it.” The mood of the bulls was way easier to see. They were mad, and they wanted to rid themselves of their riders. Joe Cousins, 60, from San Juan Bautista, had long ago hung up his spurs. On Saturday, the cowboy was back, but he didn’t last long on the bull. It shook him off seconds after the chute opened. ➝ Rodeo, 12

Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee presented a “Homelessness and Quality of Life Plan” to the City Council on Aug. 6 that recommended a coordinated approach by police, the community and city or county programs.
Smithee said the situation urgently needs more communitywide attention. He said his officers were, on average, arresting one homeless person every hour for various crimes and offenses. Gilroy’s homeless population is estimated at 722 by the Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey. The quality of life plan presented by Smithee aims to help with community relations, reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness and manage the growing number of people living on the streets.
Smithee told the council that along with the plan, his department has a task force of officers who focus on the homeless community and quality of life calls. The short-term goals of the plan looking into what the cost would be to have “full-time case management services counselors through the Office of Supportive Housing.” Other short-term plans address banning or regulating the parking of oversized/ recreational vehicles. Smithee told the council that the cost to remove RVs has risen
from $500 to $950. Smithee said the police department had previously funded the $500 removal of the vehicles, but financing is becoming increasingly difficult. The chief also said the department was hoping to partner with several organizations within Santa Clara County and Gilroy. An intermediate goal proposed was to create a homeless task force that would be called when police presence is not necessary. Other intermediate solutions ➝ Homeless, 5

House fire displaces family of six A local family, new to Gilroy after just moving from outside the state, was displaced by a house fire on Quail Walk Drive the evening of Aug. 12, according to authorities. Just after 7pm, Gilroy Fire responded to a call reporting a structure fire in the west Gilroy neighborhood. All three of the city’s engines responded to the fire on the 1500 block of Quail Walk Drive, according to Gilroy Fire EMS Division Chief Jim Wyatt. Crews were assisted by a CalFire engine in extinguishing the blaze. The damage to the home displaced a family of six who had just moved to Gilroy, from Texas, only 24 hours earlier, Wyatt said. Gilroy Fire Operations Division Chief Mary Gutierrez described the damage to the home as “moderate structural smoke and water damage.” Bryce Stoepfel
The American Red Cross is assisting the family with temporary housing, Wyatt said.
Fatal accident halts rush-hour travel BIG RIG WRECK BLOCKS 101, BACKS UP 25 AND 152 Staff report
A traffic accident on U.S. 101 in Gilroy resulted in the death of a 57-year-old man and injuries to three others in heavy morning commuter traffic on Monday, Aug. 13. The three-vehicle
accident occurred at 7:55am on U.S. 101 northbound, just south of the Old Monterey Road exit and the intersection of Highway 25, according to Officer Chris Miceli of the California Highway Patrol. As of Monday evening, authorities had not released the identity of the man who died in the collision. A 2012 Ford van driven by a 33-year-old Castroville man was traveling north on the freeway, just south
of Old Monterey Road at an unknown rate of speed, according to police. As the van approached the rear of a 2018 Peterbilt semitruck, driven by a 59-yearold Salinas man, the van driver apparently failed to notice the slower, larger vehicle ahead. The right front of the Ford van collided with the left rear of the Peterbilt’s trailer, authorities said. The force of this impact caused the van to travel
into the adjacent northbound lane. The van then collided with a 2005 Ford Explorer, driven by a 35-year-old Salinas man. When the van struck the semi, the passenger in the front seat suffered fatal injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and another passenger of the Ford van—a 34-year-old Castroville man—were transported to San Jose
Regional Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the semi was transported to the same hospital, also with minor injuries. The driver of the Ford Explorer was not injured, according to police. Neither alcohol or drugs are suspected in the collision, according to authorities. U.S. 101 northbound was closed in both directions for about two hours
due to the collision and investigation, backing up traffic in both directions for several miles. The accident also snarled the morning commuter traffic along 156 from as far away as Watsonville to Hollister, and stalled commuter traffic on Highway 25 north of Hollister. Anyone who witnessed the Aug. 13 collision can contact CHP Officer Brandon Dias at 408-848-2324.
Council approves Incumbents face police contract Nov. challengers GILROY GIVES ITS OFFICERS 4 PERCENT ANNUAL RAISE FOR NEXT FOUR YEARS Michael Moore Reporter

Gilroy Human Resources Director LeeAnn McPhillips said in July. Hiring qualified officers for Gilroy PD has been a challenge in the years following the 2009 recession, due to the lag in compensation and economic instability, McPhillips added. The city hopes that with the updated compensation package in the POA agreement, the Gilroy Police Department will be able to recruit experienced officers from other agencies who can handle the growing workload of public safety calls within the city limits. The four-year agreement also updates the city’s and individual officer’s contributions to CALPERS retirement, long-term disability coverage and uniform allowances. The contract also offers a new tuition reimbursement program for eligible officers who undertake higher education opportunities while employed by Gilroy Police Department.

The Gilroy City Council Aug. 6 unanimously approved a new contract and salary schedule for the Gilroy Police Officers Association, providing officers a 4 percent raise for each of the next four years. The Gilroy POA, which represents about 60 unionized local police officers, and the City of Gilroy agreed to the contract terms in July. The council voted 7-0 Monday to seal the deal. The agreement spells out POA members’ reimbursement and other conditions of employment retroactively from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022. The contract provides officers with an annual 3 percent salary raise for the life of the agreement.
It also adds an annual 1 percent equity adjustment to the officers’ salaries, bringing their total annual raise to 4 percent. A salary schedule included in the contract lists a starting Gilroy police officer’s base salary at $90,001 annually as of July 1. A police corporal’s first-year salary at Gilroy PD is $96,338 under the approved contract, and a starting police sergeant is paid a $106,803 annual salary. This schedule reflects the proposed 4 percent raise from 2017 salaries. Bilingual officers receive a 5 percent increase to their base pay, and canine and mounted unit officers receive an additional $421.38 per month, according to the proposed new salary schedule. The purpose of the 1 percent equity adjustment in the new contract is an acknowledgment on the city’s behalf that salaries and other compensation at Gilroy PD are “behind market, compared to our region’s agencies,”

City agrees cops need more training DEPARTMENT WILL REQUEST MORE FUNDING FOR OFFICER, DISPATCHER TRAINING Michael Moore Reporter
Gilroy officials agree with a county grand jury report that says the city’s police department should expand its crisis intervention training programs in order to improve their responses to the growing volume of incidents involving mentally ill residents. “The police department is planning to review existing training budgets, make policy modifications and provide additional training which meets or exceeds the Grand Jury’s recommendations,” reads a staff report by Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee, presented at the Aug. 6 council meeting. The report includes Smithee’s detailed response to a May 9 Santa Clara
County Civil Grand Jury report titled “Police and the Mentally Ill.” The council approved Smithee’s response, which mostly agrees with the report, on a 7-0 vote. The grand jury report takes a close look at how wellprepared police throughout the county are to address mental health-related incidents. One of the grand jury’s chief criticisms of the Gilroy Police Department is that only the department’s 12 field training officers are required by local authorities to receive advanced Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). The grand jury recommended that all of Gilroy’s sworn officers and dispatchers receive advanced CIT. Smithee’s report noted that in addition to the 12 field officers equipped with CIT, an additional 21 Gilroy officers and five dispatchers have received between four and 40 hours of CIT. “Although we exceed currently mandated training, the police department agrees with the Civil Grand
Jury’s recommendations that include expanding this training to all sworn officers and dispatchers,” reads Smithee’s Aug. 6 staff report. If the Gilroy Police Department was fully staffed, a minimum of 22 more officers and eight dispatchers would need to receive the training recommended by the civil grand jury, the police chief’s report adds. As a result, police department staff will consider its training budget and make funding recommendations to the city council in time for the 2019-20 budget deliberation process. In addition to the additional CIT training, the local department will also look into further Tactical Communication and De-escalation Techniques training for officers. The original grand jury report gives a comprehensive summary of the level of training that officers in each of the county’s law enforcement agencies have received in responding to mentally ill subjects.
The grand jury report lists a number of findings and recommendations for law enforcement agencies to improve and increase officers’ training in mental health crisis intervention. The full report can be found online at scscourt. org/court_divisions/civil/ cgj/grand_jury.shtml. Among local police agencies, Gilroy in 2017 had the lowest percentage of officers who completed additional critical incident training above and beyond the basic requirements, according to the grand jury. The civil grand jury found that nine of the 31 people who died in officerinvolved shootings from 2013 to 2017 were mentally ill. Twenty-two of the 56 total police shootings during that time involved someone with mental health issues. There was one fatal officer-involved shooting in Gilroy during the 20132017 period studied by the grand jury. Mental health was not a factor in that

incident, according to the report. On Feb. 25, Gilroy resident Steven Juarez died during a struggle with police who were trying to arrest him. This death did not occur in the period covered by the grand jury report, and the DA’s office is still investigating that incident. The cause of Juarez’s death has not been released by the coroner’s office, and it is unknown if he was suffering a mental health crisis when officers responded to arrest him. At the Morgan Hill Police Department, 85 percent of
the agency’s 39 officers have completed the additional critical incident training beyond the minimum, the grand jury reported. There were no officer-involved shootings in Morgan Hill during the period covered by the grand jury. The District Attorney’s office determined that 28 of the department’s 31 officer-involved shootings were justifiable under state criminal law. The office was still reviewing the other three cases at the time the civil grand jury report was compiled.
Chief: one homeless bust per hour Homeless, 1 The chief also said the department was hoping to partner with several organizations within Santa Clara County and Gilroy. An intermediate goal proposed was to create a homeless task force that would be called instead of police, when police presence was not necessary. Other intermediate solutions included waste clean-up, a safe parking
program and a solution for 24 hour restrooms. Smithee proposed a handful of long-term goals as well. He said the department was considering extending hours of the Compassion Center in partnership with the organization, hiring a housing specialist, giving the homeless community a place to legally stay and looking into a concept called “Tiny Homes Village.” Tensions between
Gilroy constituents and the homeless community have continued to mount throughout 2018. On Jan. 6 local business owner Sal Oliveri was stabbed by a man in his restaurant Pinocchio’s Pizza. Following the incident, a city council meeting was held where some constituents voiced frustrations and others defended the homeless community in Gilroy. There continued to be
disagreement within the council and with Gilroy residents on what the best approach was to handling the growing problems of homeless people. Council member Dion Bracco said at the meeting that homeless people who broke the law did not fear arrest in Gilroy. “The cities that don’t have this problem, it’s because they don’t tolerate it,” said Bracco. Smithee said that while
many police officers pay out of pocket to help homeless citizens, there is a segment of those experiencing homelessness in Gilroy who are “generally unpleasant.” Bracco was in favor of a more hardline approach, stating, “I think we need to start approaching this differently, instead of enabling the homeless community.” In opposition to Bracco, council member Fred Tovar was in favor of giving more
assistance to the community and stated at the meeting, “I don’t think saying get out of our town we don’t want you, is a solution.” While the study presented possible plans and new approaches by the police department, Smithee made it clear it wouldn’t be the last public discussion on the topic. Smithee said,”this is obviously a very difficult situation and there’s no easy answer.”

OPINION LETTER Parks Dept. left archery range in shambles
GUEST VIEW MATT LEVIN
Pros and Cons of Prop 5
P
roposition 5, which California voters will decide on this November, allows homeowners age 55 and up to receive a major break on their property taxes when they move. Sponsored by the California Association of Realtors, the initiative attempts to address a problem familiar to many Californians of a certain age: You want to move from your empty nest, but you’re scared of the new taxes you’d have to pay on a downsized property. That dilemma is a byproduct of Proposition 13, the landmark 1978 initiative that capped how much local governments can levy homeowners on escalating home values. If you bought your home in 1988, you’re still paying property taxes based of the value of your home when the Soviet Union was still in existence. It’s a pretty great deal. But try to move into a different—and invariably more expensive—home at today’s prices, and your property taxes will jump dramatically. Those property tax bills could be tough for older homeowners on fixed incomes to afford. “These are largely larger-family homes,” said Steve White, president of the Realtors association. “If these folks were able to sell, then folks in (younger) generations would be able to purchase.” Realtors argue that Prop. 5 will induce more senior homeowners to sell their homes and buy new ones. Obviously that’s good for their commissions. But beyond allowing older homeowners to perhaps move closer to their children, Realtors argue it would bring a flood of new homes to the market perfect for younger households starting their families. Prop. 5 is opposed by local governments and public employee unions such as teachers and firefighters, who say the initiative is a costly giveaway to wealthy homeowners and the real estate industry. There are plenty of property tax protections already in place for senior homeowners who truly want to downsize. Because of a similar proposition passed decades
ago, homeowners age 55 and up can buy a new home of equal or lesser value to their current property anywhere in their own county and retain their Prop. 13 property tax savings. Prop. 5 would allow senior homeowners to buy more expensive homes anywhere in California and still get a large tax break.
Realtors argue that Prop. 5 will induce more senior homeowners to sell their homes and buy new ones “What the real estate industry is really trying to do with this measure is turn the market and drive up prices so their end profit is really to their benefit,” said Dorothy Johnson, an advocate for the California State Association of Counties, which opposes the measure. Realtors could not have been pleased with the analysis Prop. 5 received from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, which voters will see included in their sample ballots this fall. It concludes that Prop. 5 would eventually costs local governments and schools $2 billion a year in revenue, and that the vast majority of baby boomers who would benefit from the initiative were likely going to move anyway. In other words, the initiative was not likely to induce a lot of people to move or result in lower home prices. That’s partly why Realtors have pursued a somewhat odd political strategy—while pushing for Prop. 5’s passage this fall, they’re already planning to put a very similar initiative on the ballot in 2020. That initiative would provide the same property tax breaks for older homeowners, but would also close some Prop. 13 loopholes to lessen the cost on local governments.

I was very happy to see the March 23 Dispatch article informing local people about how someone at the Santa Clara County Parks Department is trying to ruin the Mt. Madonna Park archery range. I have spoken to over a dozen credible sources about this travesty. The archery range began in 1957 by a group who became known as the Mt. Madonna Bowmen. From 1961, when a contract was made between the Bowmen and the parks department, until the end of 2017, the group has built and maintained the range in exchange for free day use of the park. This was cost-effective for the parks department and good for local archers. It has been a successful relationship since 1961—the epitome of a win-win situation. During this 60-year span, there has never been an archery injury on the range. There have been injuries— and even a death—due to falling trees in the parks; there have been horseback and motorcycle injuries and animal attacks, but not one archery accident! Consider this timeline: 2014: Someone employed by the county claimed people were drinking on the range and declared that to be unsafe. Although some derelicts, clearly not archers, are often seen staggering around the park, to appease any concerns, alcohol was prohibited on the range. This also when the parks department got an upstart director named Rob Courtney. 2015: Four stations on the range were suddenly deemed unsafe. These four stations had been there since 1961 with never an accident. Members of the National Field Archery Association, who are far more educated about archery than any Mt. Madonna ranger, said that if those stations were truly such a concern, any of the following would have sufficed: a plywood backstop, shortened distance or the angle moved as much as 30 degrees. The Bowmen offered to build these and began construction. 2016-17: Six more stations (that have also been there since 1961) are now suddenly unsafe. They claimed arrows would go 1,500 yards! 2018: After every concern was addressed (i.e., viable solutions proposed), and they had no new lies to churn up, the parks department claimed that the successful, 57-year relationship is now in some sort of legal violation! It is very clear and disappointing that in no uncertain terms, someone is deliberately setting the range up for closure. What else could be the motive behind this? By severing the relationship with the Bowmen, the range is not even insured any more. The range is now in shambles. With some of the stations completely taken down, a first-timer can't even find his way to the next target in at least four places. The direction signs are either down, gone or hidden behind the overgrowth. The bales (targets) at the sight-in station (the main one by the parking lot) are so worn, arrows shoot right through them. The parks department, particularly director Courtney, must be proud!

Gilroy officials have turned to homegrown administrator Jeremy Dirks to bring back some stability to the principal’s office at Christopher High School, which is now on its third principal in as many years. Dirks, who was promoted from his assistant principal’s position at South Valley Middle School to the top perch at Gilroy Unified School District’s marquee high school, wants to immediately inject his collaborative approach to leadership at CHS. “My strength is building culture,” said Dirks, who crafted his own style after taking what he learned from several mentors including current Gilroy High School Principal Marco Sanchez and San Benito High School Principal Adrian Ramirez. “I believe we have the cream of the crop of teachers in this district, and I want to build

Local skies were more than hazy last week, as Northern California wildfires pushed air quality to dangerous levels on Aug. 8 and 9. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District monitored air quality and issued a health advisory on Aug 9 in the Bay Area, including South County and northern San Benito County. Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy and Hollister early Wednesday, Aug. 8, had begun experiencing brown, hazy skies from the smoke of the Mendocino Complex Fire and other wildfires.
Starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing into Thursday, smoke impacts became more widespread and at ground level at times. Active wildfires and changing wind patterns made air quality worse, and residents Thursday afternoon, Aug. 9, were advised to stay indoors. A regional Spare the Air Alert was called, because air quality exceeded federal standards. The Environmental Protection Agency is monitoring air quality every 20 minutes. Updates are posted at airnow.gov. “If the smell of smoke is present, it is important that Bay Area residents
protect their health by avoiding exposure,” the warning said. “If possible, stay inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside. Set air-conditioning units and car vent systems to recirculate to prevent outside air from moving inside.” Smoke irritated eyes and airways, causing coughing, scratchy throats and irritated sinuses, health officials said. Elderly persons, children and individuals with respiratory illnesses were particularly susceptible to elevated air pollution levels and encouraged to take extra precautions to avoid exposure.

As of Aug. 8, all outdoor burning is banned in the South Bay area, including all of Santa Clara County. The burn ban was announced by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire). The ban includes all burning in the State Responsibility Areas within Santa Clara, Alameda and Contra Costa counties, plus the western portions of Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties.
The restrictions also affect the use of campfires, stoves and smoking materials in these areas. The ban will remain in effect until CalFire announces otherwise. Starting immediately, the following restrictions are in effect: • No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires will be permitted; • Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel and propane or gas fire pits will be permitted; • Visitors to campgrounds must clear all flammable material for 10 feet in all directions from their camp stove, have a shovel available
and ensure that a responsible person attends the stove at all times during use; • Smoking is prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle, building or designated campfire use site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or clear of all flammable material. The burn ban was announced as more than 13,000 firefighters are on the front lines of 12 large wildfires across the state. As of Aug. 9, these fires had burned nearly 667,000 acres and damaged or destroyed more than 2,000 structures, according to CalFire.

GILROY DISPATCH
AUGUST 17, 2018
Robert Eliason
TIE-DOWN Stoney Joseph prepares to take down a calf at the Gilroy Rodeo Saturday, Aug. 11.
Gilroy hosts reprise of rodeo romp Rodeo, 1 “I know I’m better than that,” said Cousins, who was upset after his ride. A younger San Benito rider, Cash Robinson, stayed on his bull long enough to earn 65 points. Even though he had a day left to come home with the bucks, Robinson had a more comfortable ride than at July’s San Benito Saddle Horse and Rodeo Show, which he described as horrifying. Martin was impresario, as well as rodeo organizer. He built the arena, organized volunteers, lobbied hard with Santa Clara County for permits and he
hired pros like San Martin’s Rob Smets. Smets, the Kid Kamikaze, is a fivetime Wrangler World Champion bullfighter. “It’s great to be back here, being from San Martin,” Smets said. “We got a lot more years to come.” At the rodeo, the term “bullfighter” may be a little misleading. Bull dodger, bull-keep-away-from-theriders, or even bullback, given his Barry Sanderslike nimble feet, might better describe the work of Dwayne Hargo. “You’d be surprised how fast you can move when you have 1,500 pounds after you,” Hargo,
35, said. “I’ve been doing this my whole life. My dad (Dwayne Sr.) was a champ. My brother, too. This is what our whole life is about, pretty much.” For Hargo, and everyone else who is into rough stock bull and bronc riding, the rodeo is more than a full-contact sport. Imagine a 150-pound running back going against a 1,500 defensive lineman. Hargo knows. “In the last year and a half, I broke both of my legs, back to back,” Hargo said. “I broke one leg, came back, and two months later I broke another one. I just got cleared two months
ago. They say things come in threes. I broke my face a year ago, so I’m good to go.” The view from the stands was far more comfortable than Hargo’s. For three local families, the rodeo was a great time. “Yes, we think this is a great family event,” said Adriana Tonelli from San Jose who was there with her 5-year-old son Blake. The Tonellis plan to be back next year, and so do the Kjallesvigs from Gilroy. “It’s a blast. I’m proud to be from Gilroy, and I’m proud to bring this back,” said Scott Kjallesvig, who was there with daughter
Hazel and sons Braddock and Christian. The bucking bronc and bull riding events were the main draws at the rodeo, but in the interludes, there was plenty of action, comedy, and games to keep the crowd entertained. Rodeo Clown Dominic Giordi got some laughs with his one-liners, an act with a “voice activated,” modified VW clown car, and an impromptu game he called Redneck Olympics. Young Omarri Neville from Gilroy proved to be a natural. “I don’t know, maybe because I’m a kid,” Omarri Neville, 8, with his mom
Olympia Neville said when asked how he got to be so good, so quick at the game. Unfortunately for Hollister bull rider Cash Robinson, Sunday wasn’t his day after he was thrown too early from a bull to get a score. Barrel racing Gilroyans Rebecca Carter, 18.63, and Alyssa Ferguson, 18.36, and Amber Stites, 21.35, and Lisa Jewett from Morgan Hill, 20.15, posted respectable scores but did not win any money. CJ Deforest from Hollister, and Andy Holcomb, Aromas, came in third in Team Roping, earning $524 each.

railway company has committed to, or even expressed an interest in providing the rail service. The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, which contracts with BART to operate rail service between Sacramento and San Jose, is the latest favorite of the Transportation Agency of Monterey County for the San Jose-Gilroy passenger rail. Caltrain, the initial choice, told the Dispatch this week, “There has been no commitment made that Caltrain would be responsible for operating the service” from San Jose to Salinas through GIlroy. Six Caltrain trains— three northbound in the early morning commute and three southbound in the evening commute— currently connect the Bay Area to and from the Gilroy station, with stops in San Martin and Morgan Hill. Some folks may still remember the last passenger train to stop in Hollister at the Fifth Street depot, on Oct. 30 1955. The Gilroyto-Hollister rail route opened in 1871. The old train station since 2007 has been the home of El Epazote Restaurant. WIth much fanfare, Monterey officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 9 at the Salinas Train Station, to celebrate “the Monterey County Rail Extension – Kick Start Project” to extend passenger rail service from Santa Clara County to the City of Salinas. “The project will provide an alternative to traffic congestion, thereby reducing commuter stress and increasing productivity. The extension will provide access to jobs, healthcare, education and shopping, and expand transportation options for the young, elderly and disabled,” touted the Monterey agency in a press release. The even was cited as “an unprecedented collaboration of state and regional transportation agencies, along with local jurisdictions.” The proposed route would follow Union Pacific tracks that roughly parallel CA Highway 129. The lone Amtrak train, the Coast Starlight train linking San Diego and Vancouver, follows this
route—northbound in the early evening and southbound mid-mornings. This is the closest passenger train to Hollister, but the San Benito Council of Governments will be studying its own possible Caltrain extension. A Tres Pinos branch line of this rail route extends east past San Juan Bautista to Hollister. The Union Pacific is the main rail freight system in the region. One Salinas city councilmember last week said that Monterey officials would also be reaching out to Union Pacific as a possible provider of the new passenger service, but the railway stopped all of its passenger trains in the U.S. in 1971. Plans to link either the Capitol Corridor, (which now ends in San Jose), or Caltrain, (which now ends service at Gilroy) could be in place “optimistically by 2020,” said Christina Watson of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County. Originally, the project was to extend Caltrain to Salinas, according to Monterey County officials. Then the plan changed to extending the Capitol Corridor train, which connects Sacramento with San Jose. Another project in the mix is the California High Speed Rail, which would reach from Gilroy to Merced, then to Los Angeles. Caltrain, along with many other regional rail operators and the State, has been involved with planning efforts to establish rail service between Monterey County and the Bay Area. However, there has been no commitment made that Caltrain would be responsible for operating the service. “The Transportation Authority of Monterey County has been working on this effort for many years, but the effort is still in its infancy and no operator has been identified,” Caltrain said in a statement this week in response to inquiries from the Dispatch. “Significant planning, capital improvements, actions, and agreements involving many parties would be required before any service could be considered for operation. As a key part of the region’s rail network,
Caltrain staff will continue to participate in these discussions.” The Council of San Benito County Governments and San Benito County Local Transportation Authority, which oversees San Benito County Express, received a $150,000 competitive Senate Bill 1 transportation planning grant award from Caltrans. The funds will be dedicated to an in-depth feasibility assessment of public transit projects, including passenger rail, to help reduce congestion along Highway 25. Highway 25 is highly congested during weekday commute hours due to the large number of residents commuting into Santa Clara County. The average daily traffic at the San Benito/Santa Clara County Line has more than doubled since the mid-1990’s due to rapid population growth and commute trips, and is expected to double again by 2040. The study will include public engagement, stakeholder participation, the evaluation of public transit projects, high-level implementation strategies, project cost estimates, and the identification of funding strategies, COG said in a press release. Work with a consultant began this summer with community outreach starting later this year. Project updates and information on how to get involved will be provided on the San Benito County Express website at www.SanBenitoCountyExpress.org . Senate Bill 1 provides approximately $5.4 billion in annual funding to fix roads, freeways and bridges and puts more dollars toward transit and safety. For complete details on SB 1, visit the state’s website at http://www.rebuildingca.ca.gov Census information indicates that 48.9 percent of employed San Benito County residents commute outside of the county for employment. As the population of the county continues to increase at a rate higher than the employment opportunities, current congestion issues for personal automobiles will continue to increase, including along Highway 25.

Great Wolf to hire 600 in Manteca
WATER RESORT THAT DROPPED GILROY PLAN TO OPEN IN 2020 Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Picture it. A 500-room, upscale, family-friendly, all-inclusive, revenue-generating, notoriety-generating water park/hotel on vacant cityowned land next to a cityowned theme park, Gilroy Gardens, which was eager for quick access to new customers. Such was the promise of Great Wolf, a company that refocused its initial interest in Gilroy onto another city. On Aug. 10 Great
Wolf announced that the Wisconsin-based company would break ground on a new 500-room indoor water park/hotel conference center in Manteca. Great Wolf will be the first water park in Manteca since Manteca Waterslides closed in 2004. The project represents a $180 million investment, and includes a 95,000-square-foot water park, a 45,000-square-foot Great Wolf Adventure Park and a 12,000-square-foot conference space with breakout rooms, audio/visual capabilities and catering. “As we look to expand the Great Wolf Lodge experience to new markets, we are excited to place our newest
resort in Manteca and provide Northern Californian families with an easy getaway where kids and parents can have fun together,” said Murray Hennessy, chief executive officer for Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. “The strong support from the local community and government, along with the overall familyfriendly nature of Manteca, made this a perfect location for a Great Wolf Lodge.” In August 2017, the city of Gilroy entered into an exclusive 60-day negotiation period with Great Wolf Lodge, pursuing what would have been a resort/hotel with up to 700 rooms on cityowned land next to Gilroy Gardens. Then the project
faced fierce opposition from nearby residents, who packed Gilroy City Council meetings to voice their opposition. In October the negotiations dried up because Great Wolf said it preferred a site that was more “shovel ready.” “They are making a business decision to find a place where they can break ground immediately,” Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco said in October. Whether the decision to favor Manteca over Gilroy came down to availability or the stony reception Great Wolf received from many Gilroyans is unclear. Manteca Mayor Steve DeBrum had good things to say about the project.

“We are thrilled to welcome Great Wolf Lodge to the City of Manteca and look forward to our partnership with this iconic brand,” DeBrum said in a press release. “The city has been working toward this type of project for a number of years, and with Great Wolf’s reputation for family-friendly attractions and experiences throughout their resorts, it’s a great fit for Manteca.” The 29-acre Manteca site will be the company’s 19th resort nationally and its second in California, joining their location in Garden Grove near Anaheim. The company expects to break ground by the end of the year and to open in the first half of 2020.
Great Wolf resorts are designed to be all-inclusive, providing families with food, fun, entertainment and security within the resort/hotel.

Barberi be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 09-17-2018 Time: 9:00am Dept: 12, Superior Court of California County of Santa Clara, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, California, 95113. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

ON TARGET Hollister resident Javier Mendez holds the pads for UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is scheduled
to fight Conor McGregor in UFC 229 on Oct. 6. Mendez is the owner of the famed American Kickboxing Academy in south San Jose.
GILROY’S CORMIER TRAINS AT AKA IN SJ emanuel lee Sports Editor
Mendez said when Cormier was in the midst of a 13-fight win streak early in his UFC career, he dropped weight rather than stay or go up a weight class to fight Velasquez. “His love for Cain was that strong,” Mendez said. The love goes both ways. When UFC President Dana White called Cormier to set up the fight with Stipe Miocic— in which Cormier delivered a first-round knockout to win the heavyweight championship on July 7—Mendez said Cormier cleared it with two people first. “His wife and Cain,” Mendez said. “If either said no, Daniel wasn’t going to do it. So you tell me what kind of bond the gym has created. Here’s a guy willing to throw away millions because of his friendship with somebody.”
True role model
Mendez and Castro said Cormier goes above and beyond his duties as a pro athlete, taking his responsibility as a role model seriously. “D.C. had me working on him the last fight,” Castro said. “He’d work with me, then coach the kids at the high school, train again, go home and then train the kids at AKA. The guy is amazing. To witness how he fits all of that in a day is absolutely amazing. D.C. loves the kids.” Mendez said while Cormier was in the midst of a heavy training period in preparation for one of his recent fights, Cormier still took time to coach a youth wrestling club team at tournaments, which are often all-day events. “Any other fighter, there is no way in hell they’re doing that,” Mendez said. “They’re going to rest, but D.C. is the most giving pro athlete out there. He does things behind the scenes for people that no one knows about. Money has changed him—for the better. He helps so many people, and he’s the most beautiful person I know.” Talk about humble beginnings. Before Mendez and Takacs moved AKA to its current location on Realm Drive in 2010, Mendez started training people out of a warehouse garage in 1985 at Jim and Nancy Armetta’s Capitol Glass Shop. “It wasn’t my desire to be a gym owner (at that point),” he said. “The plan was to make

The famed American Kickboxing Academy in south San Jose has been around for 18 years, and it’s still one of the top MMA training centers/camps in the world. Fighters of all types and backgrounds from around the world— amateurs aspiring to be pros and established ones aiming to be champions and all-time greats— flock to AKA to win and be a part of the AKA family. In a sport where change is the only constant, AKA continues to stay at the top because Javier Mendez has surrounded himself with premier coaches and smart business people, including but not limited to Bellator MMA President Scott Coker, Ron Keslar, Leandro Vieira, Bob Cook, and Mendez’s partner of 22 years, Joanna Takacs. Mendez and Takacs have two sons, Brandon and Jeremy. “Joanna is a great mom and the hardest working woman I know,” Mendez said. “She takes care of all the business aspect of things, from the maintenance to the aesthetics side of the business. She does it all; I get credit for what she does.” Even though Mendez is quick to deflect praise—instead crediting others for AKA’s success— others are more than willing to say what makes AKA go. “First of all, you have to look at the No. 1 ingredient, and that’s Javier Mendez,” said strength and conditioning coach Tony Castro, who trains Cain Velasquez and works with UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in a variety of capacities. “Javier has had six UFC belts under the name of guys he’s coached, and the guy is just brilliant. I’ve cornered fighters, too, and I’ve learned a lot from him. How he studies the fighters, how they should counter, he picks up on things fast. Khabib and all of the Dagestani fighters come to
the gym because of Javier. AKA has a mystique and has been successful because of Javier. His mindset and coaching (is unparalleled), and he has surrounded himself with the best people. It’s a blend you can’t lose with.” AKA has some of the best coaches in the industry, starting with Mendez, Vieira, Keslar and Cormier, who directs a highly popular youth wrestling program at AKA. But beyond that, the family atmosphere that AKA fosters is its greatest strength and asset. The saying that iron sharpens iron is an apt description of what happens at AKA everyday, as fighters spar with each other with goals to become an established pro and in the best case scenario a world champion. Just like any household, AKA has rules and a pecking order. “We don’t break the rules,” Mendez said. “If they get broken, I come down on you.” Mendez said fighters need to show up and leave at certain times, and they can’t make orders when it comes to sparring. “The head coach decides that,” Mendez said. “There’s a chief, the commanders and lieutenants. But what keeps us good is a lot of the guys know they have a voice, and your opinion matters. If you’re respected, it makes you feel good about where you’re at.” Mendez also gives the fighters the power to approve or deny a fighter’s inclusion into the organization. Fighters are expected to support one another, and occasionally deep friendships grow out of this respect and support. Case in point: Cormier and Velasquez have developed a tremendous bond, and it all started when Velasquez welcomed Cormier with open arms when Cormier came to train at AKA in 2012. “When D.C. first came to us, Cain Velasquez was our big fish,” Mendez said. “But on the very first day, he took to Daniel and started teaching Daniel how to do this and working with him knowing full well he could compete with him one day.” Cormier and Velasquez have repeatedly said they would never fight each other—although they’ve sparred literally hundreds of times at AKA—and
PURE GOLD Gilroy resident Daniel Cormier has trained at AKA since 2012. He is also AKA’s pro and youth wrestling coach. money and focus on my fighting. I needed to make extra money, so I started teaching (martial arts to) people. From there, one thing led to another and things kept getting bigger and bigger.” Mendez started training amateurs and professional kickboxers before entering the UFC scene in the mid-1990s when he started training Brian Johnston. Mendez then got connected to Frank Shamrock, who knew Johnston. Mendez trained Shamrock to a UFC championship, and the pipeline was established. Legendary MMA star B.J. Penn spent time at AKA, and from there it was only a matter of time until AKA became synonymous with excellence. In 2015, Mendez became the only trainer to have three fighters holding belts simultaneously (Velasquez at heavyweight, Cormier at light heavyweight and Luke Rockhold at middleweight). From humble beginnings, Mendez has built an MMA juggernaut in AKA. However, Mendez knows it takes a humble approach everyday to stay on top. That is why humility runs deep at AKA, as all of the fighters take turns cleaning up the facility. That’s right: with a big mop in hand, fighters clean up the training center. “Everyone cleans except when you’re a TV fighter,” Mendez said. “Cain, D.C. and Luke all cleaned. The only one that didn’t is Khabib because he was a camera fighter before he came to us. Still to this day, if I train Cain one-on-one and he’s made a mess, he’s cleaning. (Occasionally) Khabib will make
the whole crew clean. It’s part of what humbles us, and I hope it never stops—it shouldn’t.” Cormier became just the second fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously when he knocked out Stipe Miocic to win the heavyweight championship in UFC 226 on July 7. AKA’s other golden goose, Nurmagomedov, fights Conor McGregor in UFC 229 on Oct. 6 in what will likely be the highest grossing pay per view event in UFC history. Nurmagomedov has trained with only two coaches in his career: his father, Abdulmanap, who is a famed MMA coach residing in Russia, and Mendez. Khabib listed a couple of reasons for picking AKA as his training center. “I came here in 2012 at the beginning of my UFC career because I followed Cain, D.C., Luke, (Josh) Thomson, Javier Mendez, that is why I come here,” Nurmagomedov said. “It’s very important to have good energy inside the gym, and that is why I love coming here and training here. My father and coach Javier, they think the same for my game plan and background. My father says, ‘Hey, you have to do what you’ve done all your life—go forward, make opponents tired, more wrestling (equals) more tired opponents.’ And Javier says the same thing. … My father and coach Javier are almost the same age, and they think the same. MMA is all about mental; No. 1 is mental and No. 2 is your skills.” Go to gilroydispatch.com to view the full version of this story.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
