Panetta: Farm bill fate is up to GOP AG COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN WON'T BUDGE ON FOOD STAMP WORK REQUIREMENT By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
➝ Panetta Farm Bill, 14
Robert Eliasonv
The 2018 Farm Bill expired Sept. 30, and Congressman Jimmy Panetta said that unless his House Agriculture Committee chair softens on President Donald Trump’s new work requirements for food stamp recipients, farm programs will begin to suffer in the new year. In an interview this week, Panetta, whose district includes half of Gilroy and all of San Benito County, said legislation like the Farm Bill, which is up for renewal every five years, needs bipartisan agreement to succeed. “I am still hopeful that the House and Senate negotiators are able to come together to work out differences,” Panetta said in an interview this week. “I hope we can get it done in the lame duck session.” He said Texas Republican Michael Conaway, chair of the House Agriculture

Bonanza renewal soars GILROY FESTIVAL IS A HIT AFTER 30-YEAR HIATUS By Debra Eskinazi Magazine and Features Editor
More than 5,000 people came out to celebrate the days of smalltown Gilroy. After more than three decades’ absence, Gilroy Bonanza Days paraded back into town on Saturday, Sept. 29. The 2018 Leadership Gilroy reintroduced the long-lost
Bonanza Days as part of its class project. Raquel Lopez, a sixth-grade teacher and member of 2018 Leadership Gilroy, wanted to shake up Gilroy and is thrilled with the result. “We got residents to open up their front doors and enjoy their neighbors while watching the parade,” Lopez said. “My main goal was to build communities within. That’s exactly what was accomplished as schools got to work together with parents, students and staff to build their floats.”
Lopez said the event was the culmination of eight months of hard work planning to bring back Bonanza Days. “Countless hours, meetings, logistics, social networking and dedication went in to make this parade a success,” Lopez said. The event began with a parade including several floats from local schools—a Disney-inspired Coco float constructed by Las Animas school, as well as Eliot’s colorful garden display of unconventional sunflowers—and culminated with a festival at Miller Park.
“We wanted to have some the original activities that Bonanza Days incorporated such as junior royalty, tug of war, gunny sack races,” Lopez said. “We also had free cotton candy and free hot dogs for the kids.” Lopez said that although the accounting hasn’t been completed, they are planning on giving all the money raised back into the participating schools. “We are beyond grateful and appreciative of all the support we have received from this community,” said Lopez.

Union members at Saint Louise Regional Hospital want to be sure their jobs and their union are secure if the hospital is sold. To express this concern, some members of Service Employee
International Union-United Healthcare Workers West held a candlelight vigil Sept. 27 at the Gilroy hospital, whose owner, Verity Health Systems of California, had one month earlier announced it was filing for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 to “reorganize and facilitate an orderly and efficient sale process.” Hospital workers are worried the hospital might close. “It would be devastating,” said 17-year Saint Louise ultrasound technician Marc Quarels. “I had a patient this week who was going
to go to Stanford for their care. When they found out they could get it here, they were ecstatic. That should say something about the care we give in that little building.” The Aug. 31 Verity Health Systems announcement came a month after Verity announced the nonprofit was “exploring strategic options to alleviate financial and operational pressures on its six hospitals.” “The workers are concerned for a variety of reasons,” said SEIUUHW Senior Communications

Specialist Sean Wherley. “When Verity bought the hospital it was contingent on them remaining open. Filing bankruptcy puts that in doubt. That concerns patients, workers and their families.” Verity Health Systems is actively seeking buyers for all of their assets in Chapter 11. On July 31, Santa Clara County entered a bid to buy both Saint Louise and O'Connor Hospital in San Jose. The terms of the sale offer were not disclosed. ➝ Hospital Labor, 4

Measure X campaign gains momentum ALL GAVILAN CAMPUSES STAND TO BENEFIT Scott Forstner Reporter
A $65,000 check from the Associated Students of Gavilan College, key endorsements from local and regional community leaders and a well-attended kickoff party have gotten the “Yes For Gavilan College, Yes on Measure X” campaign off to an energetic and optimistic start. The local community college, which serves south Santa Clara and San Benito counties with a main Gilroy campus and satellite campuses in both Morgan Hill and Hollister, is asking its Gavilan College Joint District voters to approve a $248 million bond in the Nov. 6 election. Measure X, as it is tagged on the ballot, is just the third bond measure developed over the 100year history of Gavilan College, which used an initial bond in 1965 to build the Gilroy campus and a 2004 Measure E bond of $108 million to upgrade the main campus as well as purchase land for future expansion of Hollister site, plus the creation of the Coyote Valley Center on a 55-acre plot on Bailey Avenue in south San Jose. “Our fundraising efforts have been going on about four weeks now, and we are doing great,” said Esmeralda Montenegro, who heads up the development, events and fundraising for the “Yes For Gavilan College, Yes on Measure X” committee.
“We’ve received great support from the Associated Students of Gavilan College. Our goal is to raise a little more than $200,000, and we are on our way.” Along with the $65,000 check from the ASGC, Montenegro said they have already reached 68 percent of that campaign funding goal (more than $100,000) with other donations coming via industry and individual partners “and more coming along every week.” Montenegro, a Gilroy resident and former Gavilan College instructor, is one of 13 committee members who meet every other week and remain in constant contact as new opportunities present themselves to help support Measure X. “I really value education, and Gavilan College is our local college and it needs a lot of TLC,” said
Montenegro, who helped another bond measure get approval at another community college. “I gained some experience that way. I’m happy to be able to assist with Measure X and use all that I learned two years ago from that campaign.” According to the committee, Measure X funds will: • Repair or replace leaky roofs, old rusty plumbing, and faulty electrical systems where needed; • Upgrade and add classrooms, labs and career training facilities for science, math, engineering, and technology; • Upgrade and add classrooms and labs to help local students complete the first two years of college affordably, and transfer to the Cal-State or UC systems; • Expand the Veterans’ Center to provide job training, job placement, counseling and support
MEASURE X Gavilan Joint Community College District School Bond 55 percent required to approve “Gavilan College Affordable Education/Job Training/College Transfer/Veterans Support Measure” To upgrade classrooms, science, healthcare, technology, engineering/career training labs, repair aging facilities, shall Gavilan Joint Community College District’s measure authorizing $248 million in bonds at legal rates, levying 2 cents/$100 assessed value, $14 million annually while bonds are outstanding, constructing, acquiring, repairing classrooms, facilities, sites/ equipment, Veterans Center, adding a campus in San Benito County, improving local access to affordable education, with citizen oversight, all money locally controlled
services to military veterans and their families; • Improve access for students with disabilities; • Improve student safety and campus security systems including security lighting, security cameras, emergency communications systems, smoke detectors, fire alarms and sprinklers; • Add a campus in San Benito County, and labs and classrooms at the Coyote Valley Center, to offer a much larger selection of classes, certificated programs and degrees; • Renovate the aging College library to meet modern standards for technology and research. “The impact will be huge,” said Montenegro of the potential $248 million bond measure. “(Gavilan) needs a lot of facility improvements. … In Hollister, it would mean a brand-new campus that would allow students to stay near their homes and avoid the drive (to Gilroy). It would just make it a lot easier for those students.” Elizabeth Williams, a full-time student at Gavilan and an employee at the welcome center at the Gilroy campus, supports Measure X because it will make the the college “more accessible for everyone.” “Gavilan College has been a huge foundation for me (in) understanding the skills I need to be successful and for me to be able to continue on to a UC,” said the 21-year-old Morgan Hill resident who commutes daily to the Gilroy campus. “We have so many great students at Gavilan College and so many people who need that foundation, and Gavilan provides that foundation.”
MEASURE E (2004) $108 million bond Approved November 2004 56.75 percent voted in favor Completed Measure E-funded Projects: Tennis court repairs; Boiler replacement; Infrastructure replacement; Computer replacement; Enterprise Resource System; Interim housing; Parking lot expansion/resurfacing; Renovations of Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Sciences, Art, Music, Humanities, Security and Facilities, and Multipurpose buildings; Land purchaseCoyote Valley; Land purchase-San Benito County; Cosmetology/Business Renovation; Roof repair for gymnasium and science buildings; Campus and building signage; Social Science building; Gilroy Campus modernization project; San Martin airport instructional facility for aviation; Coyote Valley Phase I; Student Center retrofit; San Martin Aviation facility; Swimming pool and gymnasium renovation; Habitat mitigation, Coyote Valley and San Benito County; Athletics fields
Williams, who works with students to help set their class schedules, said certain students are limited in what classes they can take based on the class location and time. “It’s a huge burden because the traffic coming from Hollister is intense,”added Williams, who plans to go from Gavilan to a four-year school and major in psychology. “They can’t register for certain classes” because traffic prevents them from getting there. A bond measure must pass a 55 percent threshold for approval. In 2004, Measure E won by a slim margin, earning 56.75 percent (11,217 votes) of the vote. During that election, voter approval of the measure hovered below the required 55 percent for much of the evening before
receiving 56.1 percent of the vote in Santa Clara County and 55.9 percent in San Benito County, according to our 2004 news reports. Gavilan’s board of trustees decided to move forward with Measure X after hearing encouraging results from two surveys conducted by a polling firm. Then, at a July 10 meeting, the trustees unanimously approved putting the new bond measure on the Nov. 6 ballot. Measure X has already garnered a slew of endorsements, including Santa Clara County District 1 Supervisor Mike Wasserman; San Benito County Chamber of Commerce CEO Candace Ledesma; Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco; Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate; and Morgan HIll Chamber of Commerce President John Horner.

Gilroy High School’s new two-story mathematics building, located on the back side of the 750 W. 10th St. campus, has been officially opened for the new school year, with a Sept. 5 ribbon cutting attended by Gilroy Unified School District officials, board of education members and faculty. The $14.5 million project added 20

much-needed classrooms to the high school’s newest quad inside the prefabricated modular building. After the foundation was laid, the building’s structure was constructed off site and then delivered to Gilroy High School. The total cost was funded in part by Measure E ($4.7 million), proceeds from the sale of the Wren Avenue property ($8.3 million) and developer fees ($1.5 million), according to district staff. “I’m just so proud of this building. It’s a beautiful building with state of the art equipment inside,” said Superintendent Deborah Flores of the
new addition. “We learned a lot from this project, too, as we go forward to reconstruct Brownell” Middle School. The math building was essential to accommodate an estimated growth of 2,000 students in the Gilroy High attendance boundary over the next decade, according to Flores. The new building is one of many upgrades to the Gilroy High campus, including a new science lab, new quad, new parking lot with solar, new track and field, new stadium bleachers, archway entrances in the front and back, redesigned drop-off area in the front of campus and fresh paint inside and out.

“I think that would be great if it went to the county,” said certified nurses assistant Deborah Schwoerer if the county bought St. Louise. Historically, St. Louise has provided vital health care services for lowincome, uninsured, or underinsured residents. Should the hospital close, the impacts on the 184 SEIU-UHW members at St. Louise would be significant. “I’d probably start crying,” Schwoerer said when asked what would happen to her if the hospital closed. “I would lose everything. I’m the head of a household. I provide health insurance. My husband doesn’t have insurance. My daughter is pregnant right now, I have her covered. If I lose that she doesn’t have insurance. It’s important for me to have health insurance when I’m a healthcare provider. I should at least have that.”
“I drive 45 miles to get healthcare at this hospital,” Q said. “I drive past the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, past Natividad Hospital, past Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital to come here for my healthcare. It’s not because I’m an employee here. I come here because we give excellent care in that building over there.” The ownership of St. Louise has changed often in recent years. In 2015 Catholic Daughter of Charity sold six hospitals, including St. Louise, to Blue Mountain Capital Management, which created Integrity Healthcare. In July 2017 Nantworks, owned by Los Angeles billionaire entrepreneur Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong (who also owns the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union-Tribune), bought Integrity Healthcare, which includes ownership of Verity Health and St. Louise.
“My comments aren’t directed at any administrator in that building— the decision to put us in bankruptcy was made by a billionaire, Dr. Patrick Soon, he put us in this situation,” Quarels said. “He is using the bankruptcy laws to enrich himself and put healthcare at risk for this community. I could lose up to 15 percent of my pension. I would ask Dr. Patrick Soon, why do you need $300 a month from me for the rest of my life to move up the Forbes 500 list?” On Sept. 27 it was reported that the City of Lynwood would launch a bid to buy St. Francis Medical Center in Los Angeles County to ensure that the hospital stays open. Verity Health owns three other medical facilities in the Bay Area other than St. Louise— O’Connor Hospital in San Jose, Seton Medical Center in Daly City and Seton Coastside in Moss Beach.

OPINION
LETTERS City Council is most responsive in years To the Editor, Full Disclosure: I am a Dan Harney For City Council supporter, but please, don't stop reading here. While precinct walking for Councilman Harney, I noticed the door hanger for his opponent. Can you please tell me why Carol Marques is running a race that ended two years ago? She is living in the past, running on issues about Measure H and backdoor deals, of which the previous administration was accused. There is only one endorsement listed, and that is from the special interest group that started the Measure H Campaign. This is the law for 18 more years, and there has been no talk from citizens or the council to change it. She’s the one that could be considered guilty of backdoor deals by using the Gilroy Growing Smarter (GGS) logo before the endorsement interview last month. Any wonder Marques would get this endorsement, being the vice chairperson? I’ve seen her at several candidate forums,and she mentions—as does Tom Fischer, for that matter—being a “voice” for the people. Really? This is the most transparent, responsive council in years. Not only does the mayor bring city staff, developers and stakeholders back to the podium to address issues brought up by public speakers, but you are personally responded to by email or phone when you contact Mayor Velasco and many of these council members. Carol Marques mentions more work needs to be done by the City Council. I would agree there is more to be done, but there’s an exciting momentum with opening parks, bike trails, cops walking the beat downtown and at community events. Downtown is thriving, with families attending the successful summer music series, many seasonal and holiday events, wine strolls, outdoor dining, and Dan Harney has been instrumental in these changes. He is the right choice to continue the progress we’ve been seeing and be elected to City Council for the two-year term. Susan Mister
Personal, professional integrity is the key
To the Editor, I have had the privilege of knowing Marie Blankley, both professionally and socially, for more than 15 years, and I wholeheartedly support her bid for Gilroy City Council this November. Marie is a person with the utmost personal and professional integrity. I, for one, value that highly in a person who will be part of the team that leads our city. Marie also truly cares about the community of Gilroy, as evidenced by her previous work on the Planning Commission and with the Chamber of Commerce, and her commitment to charitable organizations such as Rotary and the Gilroy Assistance League. Marie is a well-respected businesswoman in this
community as well, having been a successful certified public accountant here since 1991. I believe that every elected body such as a City Council needs members with a variety of skills. Marie’s experience as an accountant will serve her constituents well. She understands short- and long-term budget projections, and financial implications in planning for the future. She is an advocate for business development, and services, to meet the needs of all of Gilroy’s citizens, yet also meet the city’s need for a balanced budget. Marie has necessary, valuable experience to lead our city into the next four years. She is approachable, and listens to input before making decisions. These are important skills as the City Council deals with the topics of growth, economic development, affordable housing and public safety. My vote will go to this candidate who represents the values of the Gilroy community. Please join me in November in electing Marie Blankley to Gilroy City Council. Lonna Martinez
Tired of sweetheart deals for developers
To the Editor, Taking a clue from a certain besieged president, Zach Hilton and Ron Kirkish wailed on these pages about some horrible insult to Dan Harney by Carol Marques, and wondered how she could be so ruthless. It has been a good defensive strategy for that certain president when people have spoken or printed facts that reveal his lack of morality— he claims people are using “fake news” to smear him. Harney’s supporters have not described the alleged insult, but my best guess is that it was when Carol Marques proved that Harney had voted in favor of the 721acre, 4,000-home project north of town, a horrid prospect that prompted the formation of Gilroy Growing Smarter and a 66-percent voter approval of an Urban Growth Boundary. She also reminded voters that Harney voted in favor of the “Agri-Tourism” project (a.k.a. Apartment Complex Masquerading as Agri-Tourism). Apparently the truth hurts. Speaking of truth, Marie Blankley also voted in favor of the agri-tourism project; then, after it was clear the out-of-town developer and former mayors had enough votes to get approval without her vote, she switched to vote against the measure,thus she is left appearing to care more about Gilroyans than about greedy outsiders. Now Ron Gurries moans that Gilroy Growing Smarter doesn’t care to hear the ideas of Harney and Blankley, they are left as voices in the wilderness. My response is that Harney and Blankley seem not to have listened to years of attempts to persuade them to protect our farmland and preserve our unique heritage. Voters, who will you listen to? People like Tom Fischer, Dion Bracco, Carol Marques and Tim Renggli, who are tired of sweetheart deals going to out-of-town developers. Phill Laursen

This ‘smarter’ group remembers 2016 vote To the Editor, The writer of last week’s letter, Ron Gurries, is misinformed about Gilroy Growing Smarter. We invited all eight candidates for City Council to be interviewed if they wished to be endorsed by our group. Five accepted and were interviewed by four of our members. The following week our core group voted to endorse four of those. Our criteria did include whether the candidate supported Measure H, the Urban Growth Boundary approved by 67 percent of the voters in November 2016. Of course we want to support candidates who will uphold the Urban Growth Boundary that we worked so hard to attain! We then held a wellattended public event to introduce our endorsed candidates Tom Fischer, Carol Marques, Dion Bracco and Tim Renggli. We held an endorsement process as many other groups do, not a public forum. Maybe those candidates who didn’t seek our endorsement weren’t listening to the voters in 2016. Connie Rogers

South County’s Velasquez gets Hall TWO-TIME UFC CHAMPION, ALL-AMERICAN WRESTLER COACHES GILROY YOUTH SOCCER Scott Forstner Reporter
Panetta says Farm Bill fate tied to GOPAG Panneta Farm Bill, 1 Committee, of which Panetta is a member, is the lone stumbling block to resolving differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The bill narrowly passed the house 213-211. The Senate version was
approved on a bipartisan vote, 89-11. The House bill includes a new work requirement for food stamp recipients, which had little support in the Senate. “I’m completely open to talking about SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition
Velasquez—who trains out of American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose— sometimes gave up more than 20 pounds to his opponents, relying on his quickness to lead him to victory. He has a 14-2 record in professional mixed martial arts with 12 knockouts. Velasquez said he is still active in the sport although he hasn’t fought in a while. “Once I was a junior (at ASU), I knew that’s what I wanted to do. The sport was really taking off and I knew that I wanted to go to the UFC,” said Velasquez, who in the meantime was tearing up the college wrestling mats. At Arizona State, Velasquez was named an NCAA Division I AllAmerican in 2005 and 2006, winning Pac-10 championships in both of those years and selected as Pac-10 Wrestler of the Year in 2005. He also won a gold medal in the Junior World Championships. It was at ASU where he “learned how to compete against guys much bigger than me” since the
higher weight class had a broad range of wrestlers. He was coached by Tommy Ortiz, a past All-American collegiate wrestler in his day. “I had to be quicker than them,” said Velasquez, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsutrained fighter who is well regarded for his conditioning. “That translated from college wrestling to mixed martial arts. I’m always moving, never standing still. Another key is relaxation. That is something that works across the board in sports.” That goes for youth soccer, too, when Velasquez coaches his daughter as an assistant on a Gilroy Recreational League team called the Wicked Witches. “I like coaching soccer. It’s just being competitive. I just try to help as much as I can with the team and my daughter,” said Velasquez, who was planning to take Coral to a Sun Devil women’s soccer game while he’s in Tempe for the induction festivities. “We are a soccer family.”
Assistance Program, or food stamps) and how we can improve it,” Panetta said. “We had 23 hearings on SNAP, with 89 witnesses, and no one talked the changes that ended up in the proposed Farm Bill. It’s a perfect example of what’s wrong with Congressional leadership.” “You’re not going to see any agreement out of the conference committee if the SNAP changes are in it,” Panetta predicted. “Our farmers are facing a tremendous amount
of unpredictability and uncertainty,” he said, with new tariffs as well as the Farm Bill hangup. “ The 2014 farm bill expired Sunday, ending dozens of programs and putting others in a holding pattern until four key lawmakers either produce a replacement bill or seek some form of extension of the now defunct law. The four principal negotiators working on a 2018 farm bill say they hope to resolve differences between House and Senate farm bills

Before he became a UFC heavyweight world champion, Cain Velasquez was mastering his craft in NCAA wrestling matches at Arizona State University, where he twice rose to the stature of a college All-American. This past weekend, the Gilroy resident, married father of two and youth soccer coach was honored by his alma mater with an induction into the Pac-12 University’s Hall of Fame. “I was surprised and honored when they gave me a call to ask if I would attend the ceremony,” said Velasquez, who moved to Gilroy in 2010 after living in Morgan Hill for a couple of years prior to that. He has a 9-year-old daughter
and a 10-month-old son. “I told them of course I would be at the ceremony.” With his oldest child Coral by his side on the field for a halftime induction ceremony inside Sun Devil Stadium, Velasquez was given the university’s highest honor for his career accolades. It was just a part of the weeklong celebration of the 2018 ASU Hall of Fame class. “I met a lot of friends who are still my friends now from Arizona State. They are lifelong friends,” said the Sun Devil alumnus. Born in Salinas and raised in Yuma, Ariz. by migrant farmworkers, the 36-year-old Velasquez rose to worldwide fame by conquering the UFC’s heavyweight division twice with victories over some of the sport’s most elite combatants, including Junior dos Santos, Brock Lesnar and Antonio Silva. “I had to work my way up “ the ranks, said Velasquez of his rise to two-time UFC champion. Coming from a hard-working family,

In August, the American Farm Bureau Federation said, “In light of the steep, ongoing downturn in the farm economy, growing farm debt and lost access in some of farmers’ and ranchers’ biggest international markets, on-time completion of the farm bill is a must.” With the expiration of the 2014 farm bill, major programs such as crop
insurance and SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program, will continue because they are either permanently authorized in other laws or funded by appropriators. Other programs such as the Conservation Reserve Program, which provides 10- and 15-year contracts to farmers who take environmentally sensitive land out of production, continue to operate but cannot make new agreements or award new grants.

Federal Legislation Eases California Water Shortage Written by Valerie Nera, Policy Advocate at CalChamber
C
alifornia’s water future will get brighter with the passage of the bipartisan, comprehensive federal legislation,
America’s Water Infrastructure Act 2018 (AWIA). The bill passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives and will very likely pass the Senate before the end of the month. Given President Trump’s outspoken support for improved infrastructure and statements about more water for the Central Valley being important, his willingness to sign the bill is not in question. Another big boost for western water projects is the passage of the 2019 Energy and Water appropriations bill that addresses water storage, drought preparedness, and water infrastructure needs for the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers. Taken

together these water bills could jump start water projects all over the state including the Delta that have been languishing for years for lack of funding. This bill is awaiting the President’s signature as well. AWIA authorizes financing for new water-storage projects as part of the Water Resources Development Act, the primary federal vehicle for water resources funding that is reauthorized every two years. Federally backed financing reduces the costs to project proponents and means much better rates for debt service that will benefit water storage projects like Sites and Temperance Flat reservoirs. AWIA contains provisions that will support local irrigation districts and water agencies to raise spillway gates, repair and expand dams, reservoirs and
other water projects. It also includes flood protections for San Joaquin Valley, funding for a program to restore seismic stability and expansion of the San Luis Reservoir, and funding for a pilot project in the Russian River Basin to develop a system for incorporating weather forecasts into reservoir operations. The 2019 Energy and Water bill provides: • An additional $196 million to fund California and Western drought programs including $134 million for water storage, $20 million for water recycling, $12 million for desalination and $30 million for environment and science projects. • $540 million for Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation water infrastructure programs specifically in California. • $34 million for WaterSMART grants and almost $59 million for the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse program. • $35 million for the San Joaquin River Restoration project.

In a state that is chronically short of water even in normal water years, the fight for federal funding is a serious and ongoing battle. The cost to develop or even repair infrastructure in California is much greater than other states. Environmental regulations slow projects and add costs that strain the state and local agencies tasked with keeping water infrastructure in good repair and developing new infrastructure. Those same regulations impede private venture capital investments into innovative technologies that save water or improve system operations.

Twin Power PREP FOOTBALL
Robert Eliason
TEAM PLAYERS Christian and Tyler Davis have been playing football together for as long as they can remember. The Christopher High seniors are dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball. Tyler Davis has rushed for a team-high 538 yards and Christian has 37 receptions for 344 yards.
CHRISTIAN AND TYLER DAVIS MAKE DIFFERENCE emanuel lee Sports Editor
Robert Eliason
Christian and Tyler Davis have competed against each other their entire lives. When the two Christopher High senior twins lived in Hawaii from age 5 to 8, their stepdad routinely took them out to a field to play 1-on-1 football. Often times, it wasn’t pretty. “We’d tackle each other on dirt or hard grass, and he would just let us go and have at it,” said Tyler, who has rushed for a teamhigh 538 yards on 70 carries and six touchdowns, while also making an impact at the linebacker position. “We’d go out to this school with a super big field, and he would let us go at each other. Someone would always end up getting hurt, but it is what it is. It toughened us up at an early age, that’s for sure.” Christian, who plays wide receiver and returns kicks for a Cougars team that entered the week at 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Pacific Coast League’s Gabilan Division, had similar memories. “We’d tackle each other and were pretty competitive, so that builds up a bit,” Christian said. “We’d get a little mad sometimes and end up leaving dripping in sweat because no one wanted to stop until someone gained a substantial lead. It just kept on going back and froth until someone said they were tired.” Although the twins are close, they definitely beat to their own drum. Translation: They’re not inseparable as a lot of identical
twins tend to be growing up. In fact, one gets the sense that both of the Davis brothers will be more than content to not live in the same house as they go their separate ways after high school. “Even though we hang out with the same friends, we’re fine on our own,” Tyler said. “We have very different personalities. I’m a little more calm and he’s hyper,” But in a conversation with a reporter, Tyler answers questions bluntly and isn’t prone to being politically correct. In other words, he says what’s on his mind. While Christian said the two are close to being best friends, Tyler said, “We’re not best friends—we’re brothers. We get along obviously, but (sometimes it seems like) it’s a lovehate relationship.” Whether they’re getting along or not—and for the most part they do—on the football field, the Davis’ are always in cohesion. Defensively, they play on the same side of the field, and communication plays a vital role in their success. “We still have our twin telepathy,” Tyler said. “That is why we’re on the same side of the field on defense and don’t see many big plays to the house (end zone) on our side. What I don’t pick up, he will and what he doesn’t pick up, I will. If I miss a tackle, he’s going to clean it up. We can say something to each other and no one else will pick up the hint but us. We don’t even have to verbally communicate sometimes to know what the other is trying to say.” The Davis’ are undersized but not at a disadvantage, as they use that as motivation to be as physically strong against bigger players on the field. Both are listed at 5-foot-6, with Tyler listed at 152 pounds and Christian 150.
UNBREAKABLE BOND Christian and Tyler Davis have been terrific on both sides of the ball for the Cougars. “He’s been two inches taller than me our whole life until recently,” Christian said. “He’s probably got a good 10 pounds on me, but we’re exactly the same height now. If anything, I might be a little taller.” Said Tyler: “Everyone we play is bigger than us—that’s how it’s been since we were young. So we’ve always had to play bigger than we are.” The twins certainly played big in last year’s Central Coast Section Division IV championship game, where the Cougars rolled to a 24-7 win over Leland. Tyler rushed for 143 yards and Christian was his usual solid self in the victory. In addition to their determination and toughness, the duo are dynamic playmakers, utilizing their speed and agility in the open field. Tyler
credits his offensive line of tackles Thomas Vasquez and Joe Fleming, guards Jesse Ramirez and Ray Miriles and center Damian Ramsey for creating holes for him to run through. “I can’t do anything without my line,” Tyler said. “They’re the key to everything with me. I need them to have success. I don’t rely on myself because I need them. I think of us as one unit.” In addition to being impact football players, the twins are strong on the academic side as well. This year Christian has a 4.17 GPA and Tyler a 4.0, and Christian couldn’t help but rub it in on his brother. “He talks a lot,” Tyler said. Christian has enjoyed his expanded role on offense this season, as he is the team’s second leading receiver behind
standout Jason Scirigione. Even though the twins said they’ll be more than fine after high school is over, they’ll miss playing football together. After all, it’s something they’ve been doing together since the first grade, first on dirt fields in Hawaii and then in an organized league starting in the fourth grade with the Pop Warner Gilroy Browns. No matter where their post high school paths take them, one thing is for certain: They’ll always be there for each other. “The thing I appreciate most about Christian is he’ll always have my back,” Tyler said. “We’ll go through times when you can’t tell certain things to friends,” Christian said. “But with Tyler, I’m willing to talk to him about anything. He’s the one to talk to in those moments.”

Christopher’s furious rally falls short COUGARS HAVE A LOT TO BUILD ON AFTER NEARLY COMPLETING A HUGE COMEBACK bryce stoepfel Staff Reporter
Rally time
Just when it seemed like this game was a rout, the Cougars caught fire in the third quarter, scoring three unanswered touchdowns against a seemingly deflated and exhausted Balers’ defense. Christopher senior quarterback Ben Sanford went from Drew Carey to Drew Brees in one quarter. After struggling to move the offense in the first half, Sanford’s staked the team to three third-quarter touchdowns, eventually finishing 24 of 44 for 350 yards four touchdowns and two interceptions. “At halftime, we had to sit down and think, (and) everybody needed to think about their jobs,” Sanford said. “They took that and we all went in and did the job. It’s a tough group of guys.” A smiling Tim Pierleoni embraced his players after the game and didn’t give the impression of a coach who had lost a close game. Some losses can feel like victories. “We made some adjustments at halftime and the kids came out and did what we needed them to do,” Pierleoni said. “I guarantee nobody felt like we were going to come out and
Robert Eliason
It wasn’t quite the comeback of the year for Christopher High, nor was it a monumental collapse for San Benito High. In a wild Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division game last Friday in Gilroy, it was the Haybalers that prevailed 34-28 over the Cougars in a contest that wasn’t decided until the final seconds. At the half, it was bleak for the Cougars (3-2, 1-1). The Haybalers (2-3, 1-1) landed repeated haymakers, building up a seemingly comfortable 27-7 at the break. However, the Cougars stormed back, scoring three unanswered touchdowns before finally succumbing on downs on their own 28-yard line with 16 seconds to go. “It’s a tale of two halves,” Balers coach Bryan Smith said after the game. “I give a lot of credit to them. There’s no quit in that team. We had to hold on until the very end. It feels good to win, but it should have been by a whole lot more.” The Cougars were dead on offense, pushed around on defense and special teams. Meanwhile, the Balers backfield, led by running back Stevan Navarro (18 rushes for 100 yards and three touchdowns), methodically ran by, over and through Christopher’s defense while dominating the clock in the first half. Navarro’s three TD game was his first threescore game of the year, one
less than last season’s high of a four-touchdown game against North Salinas High. “Getting our first conference win is a big deal for us, as it was time to turn the tide,” Navarro said. “After taking an ‘L’ last week (a 42-20 loss at Aptos), it’s a big turn from us. Next week we got the Prune Bowl (Gilroy High), which hasn’t been (played) since 2012, and we’re going to take that bell hopefully.”
PASSING FANCY Cougars quarterback Ben Sanford completed 24-of-44 passes for 350 yards and four TDs with two
interceptions. Sanford had TD throws of 57 and 30 yards to Jason Scirigione and 66 and 14 yards to Christian Davis.
play like we did, (because) that’s a very good football team over there. They’re well-coached with a lot of kids. They have twice as many kids as we do.” Even with the comeback effort, the loss counts the same in the standings. At least, the moral victory took away some of the sting of losing. “If there is one this would be it,” Sanford said. “This team showed more toughness than any Christopher team I’ve been with. To be able to play against a team of this caliber and do well is just incredible.”
Senior running back/ wide receiver/defensive back Christian Davis had a busy night on both sides of the ball. Davis caught 15 passes for two touchdowns, including a 66-yard TD reception in the wild third quarter.
Doing it all
On defense, Davis collected five tackles and one assist. Senior wide receiver Jason Scirigione was one of Sanford’s favorite targets of the night. Sanford connected with Scirigione for a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter and again for
a 30-yard TD reception in the third quarter. Balers’ senior quarterback Slade Wilson’s highlight throw came in the second quarter when he threw a dime to wide receiver Anthony Mercurio for a 41-yard TD in the second quarter that extended San Benito’s lead to 27-7. “Right when it came off my hand I knew it was a good play,” Wilson said. “On my first read, I saw the corner get burned. His hips were flipped, and Anthony (Mercurio) was wide open. I just had to get him the ball.” San Benito’s final score
came courtesy of a botched Christopher fake punt within its own end zone early in the second quarter. Christopher punter Robert Lajun’s errant threw helped set up a short Matt De La Torre TD that increased Hollister’s lead to 34-7. “That was a bad call on me,” Pierleoni said. “I told the kids that at the end. I thought that they were going to come at us again and we had a chance to fake it and get a big play out of it. In the end, the coaches told me that kind of sparked us.”

OBITUARIES DENNIS BROWNE October 11, 1950 - August 27, 2018 Principal and Administrator for Adult Education, Morgan Hill Unified School District
DENNIE VAN TASSEL July 8, 1939 - September 8, 2018
M
ary Lou Ruiz passed away in Morgan Hill, California after a lengthy illness on September 30, 2018 at the age of 84 years.
D
ennis Browne passed away on August 27, 2018. Eighteen months prior, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Dennis was born in Maspeth, Queens, New York to the late Joseph Browne of Clara, Offaly, Ireland and Henrietta McCartney of Glasgow Scotland. Dennis is survived by his sister Geraldine Sheridan, his brothers Peter Browne and Joseph Browne and his wife Alice, his nephew Thomas Sheridan and his wife Heidi, his niece Norah Sheridan and husband Joe Ferrara, his nieces Sharmaine Browne and Tamara Browne, and his friend Sherwin de la Cruz. Dennis studied English Literature at Queens College (BA) and UCLA (MA). He completed a Masters in Theological Studies at St. Patrick’s Seminary and a JCL (Licentiate in Canon Law) from the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome. For personal enrichment, he later completed an MA in Modern European History at San Jose State University. From 2000-2016, Dennis worked as the Principal and Administrator of the Adult Education Program of the Morgan Hill Unified School District. From 1997-2000, he was an Adult Education Instructor in the Fremont Union High School District. Earlier, Dennis was the Judicial Vicar for the Diocese of San Jose and had served as pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Church (Palo Alto), St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception (Los Gatos), and St. Nicholas (Los Altos Hills) and as Associate Director of the Newman Center at Stanford University. Dennis described himself simply as “bookish.” He was fluent in French and Italian and had a firm grasp of Irish and Anglo-Saxon. Passionate about literature, music, art, history, politics and traveling, Dennis would make an annual “pilgrimage” to Europe in pursuit of those interests. Funeral services will be held Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 11:00am at St. Joseph of Cupertino Church, 10110 North De Anza Boulevard, Cupertino. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Dennis’s name to the ASPCA, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

D
ennie Van Tassel, 79, died in Kirkland, Washington, after a long battle with leukoencephalopathy. Computer scientist, professor, mathematician, author, much loved father, brother, son and companion, Dennie was born in Clear Lake, South Dakota to Rush and Florence Van Tassel. He had two siblings, Marge and Jim, with whom he remained close his entire life. Upon graduation from high school, he joined the Marines and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California. After his service to his country, he completed a BS in Mathematics at the University of Southern California and an MA in Mathematics at California State College, Los Angeles. He put himself through school by working full time for the duration. After graduating, he settled in Santa Cruz, California where he worked for 25 years as System Administrator at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He subsequently embarked on a second career as Professor of Computer Science at Gavilan Community College, finally retiring 15 years later at age 76. He was never one for bureaucracy and would frequently skip meetings, to the occasional frustration of the administration. Instead, he put his students first, making himself endlessly available via office hours, labs, and on-line coursework. Dennie also authored five books, wrote magazine articles, and submitted many letters to the editor at newspapers including the New York Times. His strong work ethic never relented until very late in life, when declining health forced him to slow down. He married in 1968 and had two children, who were by his side at his passing. His daughter and son have many memories of their father’s boundless energy. Tearing down an old barn and rebuilding it on their urban farm with his son, driving to Baja California in a VW van and camping on the beach, taking long runs through the University hills, donning his bee suit to collect honey from his beehives, and surprising his daughter upon her high school graduation with a trip to Paris and London are just a few examples of his adventurous, generous spirit. After his marriage ended in divorce he found Marlene Bumgarner, his companion for almost 20 years who was by his side the week of his passing. He helped to parent her youngest child, Deborah Eltgroth, during her high school years, and she considered him her stepfather. Dennie will be remembered for his generosity, dry sense of humor, unpresuming presence, strong work ethic and love of travel. He is survived by his daughter Sonia Gabrielson (Jacob), son Eric Van Tassel (Rebecca), brother James Van Tassel (Nancy), sister Marge Seuss, and companion and sweetheart Marlene Bumgarner, along with four beautiful grandchildren (Jessica, Nathan, Blake and Chloe) and many other friends, colleagues and family members. All will miss him dearly. A Celebration of Life will occur on October 7, 2018 at 2:30pm at Peace United Church of Christ, 900 High Street in Santa Cruz, California. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider a donation to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. BARRETT DAFFIN FRAPPIER TREDER and WEISS, LLP, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 03/29/2006 as Instrument No. 18863830 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of SANTA CLARA County, State of CALIFORNIA.

DATE OF SALE: 11/05/2018 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: At the Gated North Market Street entrance of the Superior Courthouse, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, CA 95113. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2200 ROOP RD, GILROY, CALIFORNIA 95020 APN#: 835-17-021 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.homesearch. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007377880. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
