Declining enrollments and increased wages and benefits could force the Gilroy Unified School District to close an elementary school by the 2020-21 school year, according to a recent staff report. “It’s very scary, frankly,” said Gilroy School Board President Linda Piceno of the possibility of closing an elementary school in Gilroy. “Declining enrollment is new to Gilroy Unified. It’s happening to more than half the districts in the county, but it is unsettling after decades of increasing enrollment in Gilroy to have declining enrollment.” About 30 miles to the north, Oak Grove School District closed three of its elementary schools before the start of this school year, citing a 15 percent drop in student enrollment.

Gavilan drones fly COLLEGE IS ONE OF FEW TO OFFER DRONE CERTIFICATE Scott Forstner Reporter
When 21-year-old Gavilan College student Brandon Puthoff learned about the new drone program being offered at the Coyote Valley campus north of Morgan Hill, he jumped on the opportunity right
away and signed up for several classes in the six-course certificate program. “I’m hoping to make a career out of it,” said Puthoff, of Morgan Hill, who is currently enrolled in the advanced aerial photography class after completing the introductory course last semester. “The most important thing is the classes are being taught by people who are professionals in the field.”
In the same Oct. 19 class held at Gavilan’s Bailey Avenue site, 55-year-old San Jose resident Larry Gonzales was looking to parlay his previous career in software development into a new venture in the drone industry by completing the certificate program. “I’m in the process of switching careers and wanted to learn more about this industry,” said Gonzales, who holds a bachelor’s degree
in biology from San Jose State University. He started with two introductory classes and is now taking advanced aerial photography and a second in drone maintenance. Next semester, Gonzales— who had been flying drones recreationally for about five years prior—plans to take two more drone classes: Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations as well as Sensors and Payloads. “It’s been well
worthwhile,” he said. “I’ve been refocusing what I wanted to do career-wise, and this was a natural segue into the industry.” Instructor Mike Bonillas teaches the Gavilan drone program classes and runs his own “drone solutions” business called Brilliant Perspective with longtime friend, fellow instructor and business partner Anthony Olson. ➝ Drones, 14
Poll workers train for a one-day job COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICIALS STILL IN NEED OF WORKERS FOR NOV. 6 VOTING Jaqueline McCool Reporter

It’s a perfect fall afternoon on the Saturday before Halloween, and the Morgan Hill Presbyterian Church is full of folding chairs and people of all ages. In just a few days, these people will be the first faces you see greeting you at the polls, as they will spend a
nearly 15-hour day as election officers in Santa Clara County. The Oct. 26 training was just one of several three-hour sessions offered to seasonal election officers by the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 balloting. A 90-minute training is offered for more seasoned election officers who have volunteered for previous elections. While the election officers receive a stipend of up to $200, and $15 more if they are able to offer bilingual services, their
work goes beyond an average 9-to-5 day. When the first ballot is cast at 7am Nov. 6 at Santa Clara County polling places, the dedicated election officers have already been there for an hour. Election officers in Santa Clara County come from all walks of life: retirees, full-time professionals, stay-at-home mothers, enthusiastic immigrants and more. They must be 18 or older, or 16 with a parent and principal’s consent. They don’t even need to be registered voters to participate, although it is recommended.

Wendy Hudson, county election division coordinator of public and legislative affairs, said she thinks the allure of giving back to their communities inspires people to volunteer as election officers. “I don’t think it’s about money,” said Hudson. “I think it’s about civic duty.” Elenita Rudholm, who works for the election office in the precinct operation training department, agrees with Hudson. ➝ Poll workers, 2

Candidates have no time limit to remove signs EMERGENCY ORDINANCE CLARIFIES FOR CANDIDATES Jaqueline McCool Reporter
Gilroy residents could be seeing campaign signs lingering across thei city well past the Nov. 6 election.
The City of Gilroy Email Express this week included a reminder to residents and candiates about recent amendments to campaign rules that allows signs to stay up for a long time, because of a First Amendment court case. The email stated, “Recently it came to the City’s attention that its sign
regulations pertaining to “political signs” may have First Amendment issues as a result of recent interpretations of sign ordinances by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Changes were made at a Sept. 10 City Council meeting and changed the ordinance so that noncommercial signs are treated the same. A noncommercial
sign is anything that has to do with religion, politics or ideas; as opposed to a commercial message like advertising for a service. Community Engagement Coordinator, Rachelle Bedell said the changes made to the city ordinances are marked with a ‘strikethrough.’ She told the Dispatch, ““Strikethrough”
indicates which part of the ordinance is changed. The sections removed are shown as text with “strikethrough” and the additions are shown with underline.” What was removed was Section 1 of the ordinance stating, “(13) Political signs or placards which are erected less than ninety (90) days before and removed
less than ten (10) days after the election for which they are posted.” Now the ordinance allows for signs to be posted more than 90 days before the election and taken down more than 10 days after. However the ordinance is still clear, no type of sign is allowed in any city rightof way.

SHERIFF TEAM CONDUCTS RAID OCT. 11 AT MORGAN HILL PROPERTY Staff report
Deputies from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Marijuana Eradication Team, along with SWAT and bomb squad personnel, executed a daytime raid on a north Morgan Hill property and seized more than 2,000 illegal pot plants, according to authorities. The sheriff’s MET served a search warrant at the property on the 500 block of Dougherty Avenue, in
DEBIT
unincorporated Morgan Hill, the morning of Oct. 11. Deputies seized about 2,400 marijuana plants, 500 pounds of dry marijuana and 21 firearms during the search, according to Sheriff’s Sgt. Rich Glennon. Four suspects were arrested, but authorities did not immediately release their names. The property where the search occurred is located between Live Oak and Miramonte avenues on Dougherty. The area includes a mix of agricultural and low-density residential properties. Sheriff ’s deputies blocked this stretch of Dougherty Avenue to all through traffic during the search of the suspicious
property, which lasted several hours. So far in 2018, the sheriff’s MET has conducted 33 operations in Santa Clara County, Glennon said. These resulted in the seizure of 57,532 marijuana plants, 1,835 pounds of dry marijuana, 868 grams of butane honey oil and 45 firearms. Fortysix individuals have been arrested during these investigations. Although the recreational use of marijuana has been legal in California since Jan. 1, anyone growing or cultivating the product for commercial use must obtain the correct permits. It was unclear this week what charges would be brought against the four suspects.

In response to Saturday’s shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue that left 11 dead, several groups throughout the Bay Area have been holding memorial vigils to mourn one of the deadliest attacks on Jewish people in the U.S. The 20-minute massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue also wounded six others—four of them police officers. Robert Bowers, the 46-year-old suspected shooter who reportedly posted reams of anti-Semitic slurs on social media, has been charged with 29 counts of hate crimes and weapons offenses. At San Jose State, Jewish organizations on campus gathered Monday evening near the Cesar Chavez arc by Seventh Street for a candlelight memorial. At 5pm Tuesday, the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley was to hold an interfaith vigil outside San Jose City Hall. The federation has also set up a crowd-funding account to raise money for survivors of the terrorist attack. Money raised through the fund will help pay for psychological treatment, security services and medical bills. Donate by visiting
https://jewishpgh.org/ give-now-to-the-fundfor-victims-of-terror/. Jyl Jurman, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley, said in a statement that the events in Pittsburgh have prompted her to take extra precautions. “The peace of Shabbat was shattered [Saturday] morning as we learned of the horrific attack that took place at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh,” she wrote in an email over the weekend. “We are heartbroken and angry. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Pittsburgh Jewish community and the families of the victims of this vicious attack. We have been working with Los Gatos Police Department, San Jose Police Department, Santa Clara County Sheriffs Department and other law enforcement agencies and greatly appreciate their attention to our safety.May the memory of those who so tragically lost their lives be for a blessing.” Local Muslims and members of other religious minority organizations offered condolences to the survivors and condemnation of the attack as well. The Anti-Defamation League reported this week that In 2017 and 2018, there were 3,023 incidents of extremism or anti-Semitism in the United States. The 105-year-old organization’s mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to
secure justice and fair treatment for all.” The organization provides anti-bias, diversity and social justices resources for educators, parents and families. While Bay Area statistics were not available, according to the ADL San Francisco office, a spokesman noted that there has been an increase in incidents of bigotry and anti-Semitism. “There is a horrifying outbreak of hate and bigotry across America today,” Hasan Zillur Rahim, spokesman for the Evergreen Islamic Center in San Jose, said in a news release. “Our schools, public venues and places of worship are under assault by the intolerant and the violent. Yet we must not give up hope. We must continue to build alliances with majority Americans to stop the violence and the intolerance that are ripping our country apart. We pledge to work unceasingly with our fellow-Americans in ensuring that people of all persuasions and color are safe from acts of lonewolf or organized groups involved in terrorism or bigotry.” The San Jose-based Islamic Networks Group, which also issued a statement of solidarity for the Pittsburgh synagogue, launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise money for the survivors.

GUEST OPINION
I will have no problem backing what’s best for American farmers. David Marquez
RABBI DEBBIE ISRAEL
Shout against the hatred For Jews, Saturday is the Sabbath. When we greet one another on Saturday, we say these words: “Shabbat shalom, Sabbath peace.” But this past Saturday, as Jews gathered in worship at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, there was no Shabbat shalom. Throughout the United States, and indeed the world, we were horrified with the news of what had happened during the most sacred time in Judaism. Each of us come to our respective sanctuaries to pray, to commune with the Holy One, to be at peace, to share life’s meaning with friends, family and our faith community. By definition, a sanctuary is a refuge, a haven, a shelter, a place of safety. But on this past Sabbath, the sanctuary of Tree of Life synagogue was not a haven and not a sukkat shalom, a shelter of peace. We’ve been told that this was the most hideous and worse attack on Jews in America since its founding. How can this be? We have well documented evidence that anti-Semitism in America has been rising year after year. But we also know that when one group is attacked, all groups are attacked. When one group suffers, all groups suffer. In recent years we have seen attacks on Muslims, attacks on the undocumented and refugees, attacks on transgender and non-binary and gays and lesbians, attacks on women, attacks on indigenous people and all people of color. And then they came for Jews. I am a Jew. They came for me. They came for us. You and me, dear friends of different faiths and races and sexual and gender identities, over the years we have stood together through each of these attacks and we said in one voice, “We will overcome them!” This is not the first attack in a place of worship. In fact, on Friday an attempt was made to enter a black church in Kentucky; when that failed the killer went after two African-Americans in a nearby convenience store and murdered them instead. And last week we read of repeated bomb threats to our nation’s Democratic leaders. A week of violence. Violence begetting violence.
Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel, referring to the biblical story of the destruction of Sodom as a consequence of the inhabitants’ evilness, wrote:
“When one group is attacked, all groups are attacked. When one group suffers, all groups suffer. In recent years we have seen attacks on Muslims, attacks on the undocumented and refugees, attacks on transgender and non-binary and gays and lesbians, attacks on women, attacks on indigenous people and all people of color.

One day a righteous person came to Sodom; he knew what Sodom was, so he came to save it from sin, from destruction. He preached to the people. "Please do not be murderers, do not be thieves. Do not be silent and do not be indifferent." He went on preaching day after day, maybe even picketing. But no one listened. He was not discouraged. He went on preaching for years. Finally someone asked him, "Rabbi, why do you do that? Don't you see it is no use?" He said, "I know it is of no use, but I must. And I will tell you why: In the beginning I thought I had to protest and to shout in order to change them. I have given up this hope. Now I know I must picket and scream and shout so that they should not change me." (Words from a Witness, pg 48) Speaking as the spiritual leader of the Jewish community of South County, I ask you not to comfort us, not to pray for us, not to offer flowers and sympathy. I want you to be as angry as I am. And I want you to use your anger to change the culture of bigotry, antiSemitism, racism, Islamophobia, and all the other “antis” in which we are drowning. Picket and scream and shout against the hatred that is consuming our beloved country. It is not too late to change them. But in the process let’s make sure they never change us.

So their garlic will be more expensive, but so will out cars. Harry Allison From Facebook
Our garlic is better than their garlic (which also sits on a freighter for weeks before arriving stateside). Scott Pierce From Facebook
I’ve always like Christopher Ranch products, but I’m disappointed that they support a staggering 25 percent tariff on imported garlic. On paper it sounds good (by increasing the price of an imported product you ‘balance the playing field’ thus encouraging people to buy American, support American jobs, etc.) If only it were that simple. In reality, when one country imposes a tariff, the other country retaliates, every time. Where does this lead? In my opinion, getting into a tariff war is risky, and probably not a smart way to build a strong economy. Paul Welka From Facebook

State/Local Laws Restrict Use of Information on Criminal Offenses By Sunny Lee, CalChamber

expunged, it means that the record has been wiped clean as if the event never happened, and the applicant never committed the crime.
This area is confusing to many employers who have had a practice of not hiring an applicant who has been convicted of a felony.
These are powerful protections that prevent an employer from acting on criminal information to deny employment.
Vintners, elected officials, Gilroy residents, Chamber members and others gathered underneath the newest Gilroy mural commemorating the wineries of Santa Clara Valley. The mural, commissioned by the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce, took approximately 6 weeks to complete. The mural is located at 5th and Monterey Streets on the wall of the CMAP building which faces the garlic mural.
Recent changes to state law prevent an employer of five or more employees from asking about criminal history information on a job application and/or in a job interview.
An employer who feels the need for further help in this area should consult with legal counsel.

n the long run, rent control “decreases affordability, fuels gentrification, and creates negative spillovers on the surrounding neighborhood,” according to a recent report published by the Brookings Institution. The research review, ” What Does the Economic Evidence Tell Us About The Effects of Rent Control,” is authored by Rebecca Diamond, Associate Professor of Economics at the Stanford
The review examines the San Francisco housing market, as well as national studies, in reaching its conclusion. It notes that:
• “Rent control can also lead to decay of the rental housing stock; landlords may not invest in maintenance because they can’t recoup these investments by raising rents”; and
• “Rent controlled properties create substantial negative externalities on the nearby housing market, lowering the amenity value of these neighborhoods and making them less desirable places to live”;
• Rent control can “lead to emptynest households living in familysized apartments and young families crammed into small studios” because tenants in rentcontrolled apartments keep their rental costs low by not moving.

The Brookings article is the latest research to point out that the policies allowed by Proposition 10 will harm California renters and homeowners alike. A New York Times article recently noted: “Economists have an almost universally dim view of rent control laws, and a number have supported the landlords’ contention that Proposition 10 could make California’s housing problems worse.”

Sheriff: Dangerous felons arrested in Gilroy EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM ON HAND FOR SPECIAL OPERATION Staff report
Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
Sheriff’s deputies and police surrounded and arrested two wanted violent suspects at a residence just outside of Gilroy last Friday, according to authorities. About 5:30pm Oct. 24, Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s deputies cast a wide perimeter around a residence on Buena Vista Avenue north of Gilroy before approaching the two men, identified as Mark Ashford, 43, and James Edward Trujillo, 36, reads a press release from the sheriff ’s office. Both suspects are Gilroy residents. Both men had numerous felony warrants for their arrest and were considered armed and dangerous, the press release reads. Ashford was

GUSD board approves pay hikes for supes CLASSIFIED STAFF ALSO GETS 2 PERCENT ANNUAL RAISES By Scott Forstner Reporter
After securing a new three-year deal with its teachers union to avoid a possible work stoppage last month, the Gilroy Unified School District
Board of Trustee approved new contracts with its management and confidential employees as well as its classified staff. The new contracts approved Oct. 18 included 2 percent salary increases retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018, an additional 2 percent pay hike effective Jan. 1, 2019 and an increase to the district’s medical contributions effective Jan. 1,
2020, according to contract details. “The proposed salary increases to management and confidential employees is aligned with the increases to GTA (Gilroy Teachers Association) and tentative agreement with CSEA (California School Employees Association) for the years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-2020 fiscal years,” according to
the Oct. 18 agenda. With those increases, Superintendent Deborah Flores’ base salary jumps to $221,519 retroactive to July 1, 2017; $225,949 effective Jan. 1, 2018; and $230,468 effective Jan. 1 2019, according to the board resolution. Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Alvaro Mesa’s salary increases to $191,037 retroactive to July
1, 2017; $194,858 effective Jan. 1 2018; and $198,755 effective Jan. 1, 2019, according to the board’s Oct. 18 resolution. Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Paul Winslow’s salary jumps to $165,368 retroactive to July 1, 2017; $168,675 effective Jan. 1, 2018; and $172,049 effective Jan. 1, 2019, according to the Oct. 18 resolution. The new pay structure
for the management and confidential employees has a financial impact of $86,783 for 201718; $264,254 for 201819; and $379,320 for 2019-20. At the same Oct. 18 meeting, the board and district leadership discussed a preliminary list of future budget cuts.

GUSD considers closing a school Budget cuts, 1
Piceno added that an increase in a school district’s contribution to employee retirement benefits (soon to be up to 18-20 percent) is another key factor that has forced cuts in other areas. In June 2018, GUSD staff proposed almost $1 million in cuts for the 2018-19 school year. Now they are recommending a $4 million budget reduction over the next two years. Earlier this month, the board “provided direction to staff to establish a Superintendent’s Advisory Committee, tasked with analyzing the possibility of an elementary school closure,” according to the Oct. 18 agenda. “While the funding loss of $3.7 million is equivalent to the funding necessary to support an entire elementary campus, it is important to distinguish the savings that may be generated from a school closure will be substantially less; as the savings are primarily limited to the non-instructional staff at the school,” according to staff. The deepest cut on the preliminary list of potential budget cuts for 201920 school year is $1.2 million in full-time employee reductions. That’s followed by about $271,000 to leave two new IT positions unfilled; $250,000 in summer school reductions; a $250,000 reduction in funding for textbook adoption; and $246,192 by cutting two Teachers of Special Assignment positions. The target number in

sources of funding for any school district is average daily attendance, which is based on how many students are at school each day during the school year. In Gilroy, last year’s enrollment dropped by 250 students, which resulted in over $2 million less in funding for the current school year, according to district staff. That pattern continued into 2018-19 school year, with district staff estimating 160 fewer students this year than the 2017-18 year, resulting in a $1.5 million drop in ADA funds. “I never thought I would see that in Gilroy (but) it’s a reality we have to deal with,” said Piceno, who has been with the district for three decades prior to joining the board. She ran for re-election in 2018 knowing there would be tough decisions ahead, such as possibly closing a school. The head-scratcher to many in Gilroy is how there can be declining enrollment with all the new housing being built throughout the city. Piceno said families with school-age children simply can’t afford to buy houses in Gilroy anymore with the median home price now over $800,000. “We’re not getting families in,” said Piceno, who said the area’s low birth rate is another factor. “It’s down by about 15 to 20 percent and has been. So clearly people who are moving in are not having babies and additionally do not have them when they come in.”
DISTRICT DECISIONS Offices of the Gilroy Unified School District, where staff ponders impact of declining enrollments. total cutbacks for 2019-20 is $3,379,501, according to the staff report. “This is our reality at this point, and we have to be creative. We also have to be pragmatic and we need to look at everything,” Piceno said. “As I stated at the board meeting, every program, every position is somebody’s sacred cow. Everybody is fine until their cow gets gored.” The board took no action on the proposed cuts at its Oct. 18 meeting. “This level of reduction is necessary to address the erosion of revenue, and address the increase in employee’s total compensation through
2020-21,” according to staff. “Putting it simply, revenues are declining while expenditures are rising. Ongoing cuts are necessary to maintain fiscal stability.” Coincidentally, at that same meeting, the board ratified separate pay raises for its executive cabinet (superintendent and two assistant supes) and classified staff to align them with the increases negotiated by the Gilroy Teachers Association in their latest contract (see related story). “We’re the largest employer in Gilroy and we take our position as employers very, very seriously. Of course we want
to hire the best and keep the best and have a good work environment for all of our employees,” Piceno said. “We’ve also got big decisions to make in the budget and we’ve got to start moving on that.” The only item detailed on the potential cut list for 2020-21 was the wschool closure, which Piceno said would be an elementary school yet to be determined. Until earlier this year, the district was moving forward with plans to build a new elementary school, but postponed that project after reviewing its enrollment numbers over the last two years and projections for future
years. Instead, the district decided to re-allocate those bond funds to modernize Brownell and South Valley middle schools. “We’re not exactly getting huge amounts from Sacramento,” said Piceno, adding that California has one of the lowest perpupil spending ratio in the nation despite having the fifth largest economy. “And we expect a first class education for our kids with that kind of spending from Sacramento.” The board and district staff will meet with a demographer in the next few months for an enrollment update, according to Piceno.

Gavilan is in forefront of drone technology ➝ Drones, 1
Scott Forstner
“We started our business four years ago as a drone photography company and realized right away that the drone industry was going to take off and became a drone solutions company,” Bonillas said. The certified drone pilot and flight instructor also teaches an after-school introductory drone class at Live Oak High School through Gavilan’s Career Technical Education program. “The biggest thing that people can take away is that the drone is a tool and they can add it to their repertoire of something they already do,” Bonillas added. “If they are a real estate agent or an insurance agent, a sports coach or a teacher, a biologist or somebody that does geography, search and rescue—anybody who does any stuff with the environment—it can be huge.” The possibilities are endless, and Bonillas wants to help nurture that in any person who registers for his classes at Gavilan, where about 35 students are currently enrolled in any of the six classes that allow them to pilot drones above the scenic hills on the 55 acres of community college land. Classes, which are part of Gavilan’s Aviation
Technology Department, last anywhere from three to five hours and include lecture and lab. “This is a drone pilot’s paradise,” said Bonillas, looking around the Coyote Valley campus. “You get the sunset off the hills. We’re in a small bubble away from all air space. It’s an opportunity for people to just come out and fly all types of drones.” Gavilan, which supplies the drones to its students, is one of only a handful of colleges in the state that is certified through the State Chancellor’s Office to issue a drone operator’s certificate, and those units are all transferable, Bonillas said. The program is in its third semester. “We will teach you everything you need to do to be a successful drone pilot,” Bonillas added. “You learn basic maneuvers and how to operate and just move on from there to aerial photography, advanced aerial photography, FAA rules and regulations, repair and maintenance, and sensors and payloads.” Puthoff said what drew him to drones and the Gavilan pathway “was seeing everything from a different perspective” from high above. “Drones are the future for many different industries,” said Puthoff, who also has his FAA certification.
FLYING HIGH Gavilan students fly this drone at Coyote Valley campus in new certification program at college. Gonzales is in his second semester with the drone program, taking two classes each term. “They have just really given me insight into what I might want to do and where I can use my skills in the drone industry,” said Gonzales. “It’s just a new perspective from up in the air. That’s what kind of led me into this. If someone
is curious about it, they should come out and learn what it’s about.” To get Friday’s class started, Bonillas had his students create a new online drone deploy profile (which can be done on sites such as 360hangar and Pix4D) and map out their flight plans for the day. After charging the drones, the students

Stick and Move inspires youngsters A LEGENDARY BOXING GYM IN GILROY STILL OFFERS PLACE FOR KIDS AFTER SCHOOL HOURS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
On the east side of the railroad tracks in old Gilroy, in an old square brick building that used to be a PG&E substation, kids spend the night punching each other in the face. Usually, that means trouble. But at Stick and Move Boxing, the longtime Gilroy amateur boxing gym run by Rick Mello, flying fists and hard hits come with life lessons, newfound confidence and friendships. “The kids have a place to go,” said Mello, 83. “This was a bad part of town, but it mellowed out a little. All these kids come here, and they socialize. We kind of watch them to make sure it’s safe. We haven’t had any problems.” For $45 a month, every Monday through Saturday, up to 20 kids at a time spend their afterschool hours learning the ropes of boxing. It’s a safe place for kids ages 8-18. Mello and coaches Jose Soto and Derek Shingu are there to watch over the kids, but also to coach seven boxers who fight in USA Amateur Boxing tournaments from Salinas to Sacramento. Among the hundreds of kids who have gone through Stick and Move, a couple stand out from the rest. Mello coached
Kelsey Jeffries to a state featherweight championship in 1992, and Gilroy’s No. 1 boxing family, the Guerreros, spent some time with Mello back when he had a gym on Gilroy’s south side near the sewer plant. “Victor, the middle brother, came in first; Robert didn’t come in until later,” Mello said. “When they came and the word spread, I had kids coming up to my ears. We used to fight all over the place. When Robert came, the dad, Ruben, got involved. When you get fathers and sons involved in this game, that’s when I step away. Blood is thicker than water. I’m telling the kid one thing and the father is telling him another, and the kid gets all screwed up." Two of Mello's current students, Azael Torres and Bryan Alvarez, come from different backgrounds and circumstances, but through their shared love of boxing, they have formed a strong friendship. Torres, 17, is a senior at Leigh High School in San Jose and started coming to Stick and Move Boxing because his grandmother lives nearby in Gilroy. “The thing I love about martial arts is the discipline; it shows you how to put a better version of yourself out there,” Torres said. When Torres started boxing, he struggled with his weight, coming in at 220 pounds. After six months of clean eating, hydration and exercise, Torres dropped below 160

pounds. Now, as he considers his college options, Torres struggles to overcome his fear of getting in the ring for his first fight. “There’s something in me that makes me unsure if I want to compete; it’s a strange fear of mine," Torres said. "I want to overcome it some point, but at this point, I want to train as much as I can.” Bryan Alvarez of Gilroy has been fighting at Stick and Move for almost two years, and through boxing, Alvarez found peace of mind after years of struggling with trouble at home and at school. “I’m not the kind of person who goes out to
parties, but when I do boxing, I feel like I stand out," Alvarez said. Boxing has helped Alvarez build confidence. He’s more talkative, and better able to express his feelings. However, mounting bills at home have forced Alvarez to choose between working harder to help support the family or keep boxing. “I need $1,000 for boxing. I need a new car, I need to help out at the house, and I don’t make much money,” Alvarez said. Alvarez lives in an apartment in Stoney Court, a neighborhood he describes as “one of the most ghetto parts of Gilroy.” The family still
struggles, but his mother works to save money to buy a house and fix her credit. Rising rents in Gilroy may soon force the family to move to Los Banos, he said. Alvarez works as a cashier in the morning and uses his mother’s car to make deliveries for DoorDash. Torres has worked since he was 14, but even at 19, the realities of life have forced him to think of the future. “I’ve been boxing for two years, and I wonder if I put those years to waste,” Alvarez said. “But then I start thinking, I spend those two years, and if I can’t go pro, What was I doing with my time? It’s
a back and forth, and I don’t know how to decide. There’s nothing to show that I am getting better. It’s a struggle.” Despite the struggles, Alvarez found peace of mind and friendship through boxing. “I met Brian through boxing, and that’s why we’re such close friends now,” Torres said. “We starting sparring together, and it was like, sometimes the best enemies make the best friends. We would go in and spar really hard. He would hit me with straights, and my head would go straight back. He bloodied my nose, but after we’d walk home together and laugh about it.”

GAVILAN FOOTBALL
Robert Eliason
Persevering OVERCOMING ADVERSITY Cecil Murphy, a Gavilan College sophomore, plays offense, defense and special teams. Murphy, who was raised in
Florida and South Carolina, lost 31 pounds in the off-season to give himself the best chance to play his preferred safety position this season.
MURPHY’S LAW: NEVER GIVE UP ON A DREAM emanuel lee Sports Editor
Robert Eliason
Cecil Murphy IV has learned to be content in his circumstances. The Gavilan College sophomore was raised in Tampa, Fla., under difficult circumstances. Money was hard to come by, and at times the Murphy family didn’t have enough funds to provide light in the house, Cecil said. Cecil’s dad, Cecil Jr., rode his bike to work, which took two hours—one way. Through it all, Murphy never felt like he was poor; instead, he spent plenty of time outside doing what kids do—play. “My parents (Tami Mosley and Cecil Jr.) never let us know we were struggling,” Murphy said. “They showed us love, but in the back of my mind I always knew something was wrong. But they always kept us happy, kept food on the table and a roof over our heads. It was very hard at times, but probably the best days of my life.” With that type of attitude, what event—on or off the field—could ever shake Murphy? Murphy credits his Christian faith as the main reason for having a grateful attitude, which has been vital to his success on the gridiron. The sophomore multi-position player—Murphy is the starting
strong safety and long snapper, but he also gets some reps at running back and on the kickoff unit. “I will play any position that can help the team get a win,” he said. When asked how he was able to play such a variety of positions, Murphy said, “God blessed me with a lot of talent.” Since Murphy rarely comes off the field, the 23-year-old has to keep himself in great shape and make sure he’s got plenty of fluids in his body, starting a couple of days before a game. “I drink a lot of Pedialite (an electrolyte solution) before the game,” he said. The 5-foot-9, 184-pound Murphy dropped 31 pounds in the off-season with the goal to play safety this season. Last year, Murphy played linebacker and was too heavy to play the safety position effectively. “I wasn’t in football shape last year (after not playing for three years),” he said. “So after last season ended, I knew I had to go really strong in the weight room to make sure I would get back to playing defensive back this season.” Murphy worked out twice a day, first in the morning with trainer K.C. Adams and then with the team in the afternoon. Murphy said he didn’t drastically overhaul his diet to shed the pounds; however, he did point to a couple of beverages as key to his weight loss. “Every morning and night I drank apple cider vinegar and green tea,” he said. “I still drink those everyday.”
VERSATILE TALENT Cecil Murphy takes a handoff in a recent practice. The Gavilan College sophomore
has made an impact in all three areas of the game: offense, defense and special teams.
Even though it’s been a tough season for Gavilan, it’s no fault of Murphy. The 2015 graduate out of Andrews High in South Carolina has five interceptions this season, including two in the season-opener. Murphy credited the coaching staff along with his talent and willingness to learn as keys to his standout season. “Coach Lango’s preparation in getting the defensive backs to flip our hips and get the right footwork down allows us to make plays,” he said. “I make a lot of plays because I hustle to
the ball, and I’ve got good football awareness.” In the season-opener against Los Medanos, Murphy’s two interceptions came by reading the quarterback’s eyes, watching a lot of video and disguising his coverage. Even though Murphy takes his greatest pride at safety, he was downright euphoric—and rightly so—when he returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown against Monterey Peninsula College. Murphy’s road to Gavilan was not a straight-line path. Murphy
played four years at Andrews High in South Carolina, but he received scant interest from fouryear schools. Not wanting to start his eligibility clock, Murphy didn’t enroll in college until the 2016 spring semester, at Louisburg College in North Carolina. However, Murphy never ended up suiting up for Louisburg, and after one semester as a full-time student, he left the college and looked at other options. Nothing materialized, so Murphy moved back home and started working. “I ended up getting a job

Gilroy runs to Gabilan Division title MUSTANGS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM SOLIDIFIES ITSELF AS ONE OF THE BEST IN PROGRAM’S RICH HISTORY emanuel lee Sports Editor
Call us for this weekend's specials
“I’ve never had a team like this before, when you can just switch them around and see no drop off,” Silva said. “The JV girls are almost as good as the varsity girls. We’ve had great teams in the past, but this one ranks right up there with the best of the best.” For a team to win a competitive prep championship race, it needs at least one or two runners to set a personal-record (PR). Bundros, Alcoran, Flores and Anna Turk all set PRs at Toro Park, which was key to the team’s first-place finish. Alcoran provided a huge boost with her breakthrough performance. Alcoran, who had raced most of the season on the junior varsity team, has run so strong in the last month that she needed to be placed on the varsity. “Emily is the happiest kid on a team of happy kids,” Silva said. Besides having ability and talent, the Gilroy High runners are fast because of their work ethic and bond, the latter playing a crucial role in faster times. When teammates can run together and push each other while on the course, it lends itself to faster times. “We have this bond and connection and really get along like a close family,” Rodriguez said. Said Silva: “They have this great chemistry, and there is really no jealously amongst them selves. It’s just a fun atmosphere of good characters and selfdisciplined kids. I can go
Robert Eliason
After coming on strong in the regular-season league meets, the Gilroy High girls cross country team stamped itself as the favorite to win last Saturday’s Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division Championships at Toro Park in Salinas. The Mustangs didn’t disappoint, as they totaled 66 points to win by a rather comfortable 14 places over runner-up San Benito High. Gilroy hasn’t competed in the upper division for several years, making this year’s title all the more rewarding. “We were all super happy and really proud for each other,” said freshman sensation Karina Rodriguez, who finished fourth overall in 20 minutes, 41 seconds. “It was a really proud moment, especially since we’ve been working together since the beginning of the summer. I was really nervous waiting for the result to come in because I was thinking about how much we’ve all improved since the beginning of the season. It’s unbelievable and pretty crazy when you think about it.” Indeed, the Mustangs have all made dramatic strides since they started the summer conditioning workouts, with Rodriguez two minutes faster from that point. Once again, the
Mustangs did it with a formula that has worked all season. Their five scoring runners all placed in the top 20, including Rodriguez, junior Marianna Bundros (13th in 21:28), junior Emily Alcoran (14th in 21:31), sophomore Kayla Flores (17th in 21:41) and sophomore Anna Turk (18th in 21:42). Here’s the incredible part: The Mustangs’ sixth and seventh runners— who are used for scoring purposes in the unlikely event of a tiebreaker— were right there at the end. Sophomore Maddie Eastus (20th in 21:50) and freshman Katherine Turk (24th in 22:03) showed the team’s tremendous depth and talent. In most cases, the sixth and seventh scoring runners on a team finish outside the top 30—usually in the 40s or 50s. However, Gilroy has something special going within its entire program. To wit: The junior varsity team took the first five spots in its race, covering the same course and distance at Toro Park. Sophomore Angelina Gonzalez won the individual title in 21:37, which would’ve placed her as the fourth fastest runner had she run in the varsity race. Gilroy has a pack of runners who are so close in ability and talent that it makes coaches Art and Cathy Silva’s job of putting out the best seven runners for a given race a crapshoot, because the results will just depend on who is having the better race that day.
TOUGH RUNNER Gilroy High freshman sensation Karina Rodriguez guts her way to the finish line to take fourth in last week’s PCAL Gabilan Division Championships. on and on of how great these kids are.” Silva said the majority of the runners showed up for the key summer workouts, which gave them a solid base for running and prepared them for the rigors of the season. The Mustangs are truly a special group, with Marissa Galvan—who was the team’s sixth-place runner in the JV race— serving as a key figure for the entire program. “Marissa is one kid who stands out in that she keeps all the girls
together,” Silva said. “She braids their hair and is kind of a captain if you will. She is not our best runner, but she is always there and makes it to every practice despite working two jobs while also having a 4.0 GPA.” Rodriguez has a pure love for running, a key to her improvement and standing. Whether it’s in practice or a race, Rodriguez thinks about her family, fueling her motivation. Her grandfather, Benjamin Cadena, is one of her biggest fans and
supporters, and Rodriguez loves nothing more than to put a smile on his face. “I think about him and my family a lot in a race,” she said. The Gilroy boys took fifth in the Gabilan Division Championships, with freshman Nicholas Guzman taking sixth in 16:46 and senior Noe Serafio finishing 23rd in 17:41. Guzman, like Rodriguez, has come on strong in his first year of high school. He’ll be a force on the cross country scene for many years.

Pediatric hospitalists will also be on hand to provide onsite consultative services to attending medical staff and ER physicians and to help stabilize patients in emergency situations. Good Samaritan Hospital’s neonatology group has, for many years, been assisting HHMH with the stabilization and transport of high-risk newborns, and supported physicians with telephone consultations. “We have a long-standing relationship with Hazel Hawkins, built over the last 10 to 15 years, and this is the next step,” said Dr. Richard Powers, MEDNAX affiliated neonatologist and Chief of Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. HHMH pursued a partnership with Pediatrix due to the need for full-time pediatric support at the hospital. Currently most pediatricians in Hollister have established office-based practices and cannot staff the hospital. “Pediatrix has a history and national reputation for providing excellent care to newborns and children,” said Ken Underwood, HHMH CEO. “This partnership will bring experience and vital support to our top-tier Women’s Center and ER, and to children admitted to Hazel Hawkins Hospital”

aul John, son of Rachel Spivack and Paul Vasquez Sr., was born July 11, 1970. He passed away peacefully on September 25, 2018, surrounded by his loved ones. Paul grew up in San Jose, California where he attended Santa Teresa High School and graduated from Saratoga High School. Paul’s passion for movies since he was young led him to continue his studies right after high school with the famed Stella Adler at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles. Paul was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and the Screen Writers Guild. Paul split his time between Los Angeles and San Jose acting, writing and working in the movie industry. He was passionate about writing and created several movie scripts that generated interest and he was pursuing his own independent production. Growing up, Paul had fun filming with a camcorder taping everyone around him. He loved all foods, especially sushi and carrot cake and wasn’t afraid to try new things. Paul kept a personal journal since he was nine years old, recording his thoughts and feelings. Paul liked running, hiking and snowboarding. He loved to walk and play with his dogs, Rex and Grace. When he wasn’t doing anything else, he was always critiqueing movies, either in the theater or at home. He enjoyed traveling and on his 21st birthday, he travelled to Europe, visiting more than 11 different countries. He believed in integrating art into every dimension of his life. He found art in his Catholic upbringing and in the culture and traditions of Judaism and reflected upon them in his journal writing. He loved music, the study of drama and of course, his Mama’s cooking. Paul was preceded in eternity by his grandparents Gilbert and Josie & Frank and Doria, his Aunt Linda, Uncle Jesse and cousin Edwin. He is survived by his father Paul Vasquez, his mother Rachel Spivack and stepfather Robert Spivack, his dog Jack, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A private burial was held at Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, California and a Celebration of Life was held in Gilroy, California. He will be sorely missed by all his family and friends. Please continue to appreciate art and beauty in your own lives as a way to remember Paul and hold him in your heart.

926 GIL - Public Notice CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) is the Lead Agency for the Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed State Water Project Water Supply Amendments for Water Management and California WaterFix (proposed project). The proposed project is located within the SWP Service Area which includes the water delivery facilities of the SWP and service areas of the Public Water Agencies (PWAs) that receive water from the SWP. The proposed project would add, delete and modify provisions of the State Water Project (SWP) Water Supply Contracts (Contracts) and clarify certain terms of the Contracts that will provide greater water management regarding transfers and exchanges of SWP water supply within the SWP service area; and provide a fair and equitable approach for cost allocation of California WaterFix facilities to maintain the SWP financial integrity. The proposed project would not build or modify existing SWP facilities nor change any of the PWAs’ Annual Table A amounts. The proposed project would not change the water supply delivered by the SWP as SWP water would continue to be delivered to the PWAs consistent with current Contract terms, and all regulatory requirements. Implementation of the proposed project would contribute to project-specific and cumulative significant and unavoidable impacts related to increases in groundwater pumping associated with changes in transfers and exchanges implemented by the PWAs. A copy of the DEIR can be found at these locations: https://www.water.ca.gov/ Programs/State-Water-Project/Management/Water-SupplyContract-AmendmentOR San Benito County Free Library470 5th StreetHollister, CA 95023 ANY INTERESTED PERSON may comment on the DEIR for the proposed project. Comments must be in writing and received by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on December 10, 2018, which is 45 days after publication of this notice on October 26, 2016.

Box 942836, Sacramento, CA 94236-0001 or by e-mail to: ContractAmendment_comments@ water.ca.gov. A public meeting on the DEIR will be held on Friday November 16, 2018 in the Resources Building Auditorium, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The meeting will include a brief presentation about the proposed project followed by public comment on the content of the DEIR analysis.

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.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007731086. 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.
