Panetta looks to farm bill in 2018 THE SENATE AND HOUSE VERSIONS DIFFER ON SNAP PLAN By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Congressman Jimmy Panetta, headed to an 80-20 victory in his first re-election bid, isn’t going to be putting his feet up in the next few weeks while waiting for his Democratic Party to take control of the 116th U.S. House of Representatives. One of Congress’ most fervent bi-partisan optimists, Panetta is raring to go back into the fray with many of his lame duck colleagues to get the 2018 Farm Bill renewed before the new Congress is sworn in in January 2019. “I have confidence that a compromise bill will get passed this year,” he predicted on Nov. 15. “Final passage this Congress is the priority.” That could be a tall order, which may be more dependent than anything on the mood of his friends across the aisle, who have been holding out for adding a work requirement to federal food stamps. The work requirement for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients was pushed by President Trump and added to the House farm bill this summer, but was not included in the Senate version of the bill. The resulting farm bill deadlock has increased anxiety levels among tariff-fearing farmers, agribusinesses and food stamp recipients in Panetta’s ➝ Panetta, 12

FAMILY CELEBRATION Robert Rivas celebrates his victory with his wife Christen and two-year-old daughter Melina.

Family fuels Rivas SAN BENITO NATIVE SON HEADS TO SACRAMENTO By Jaqueline McCool Reporter

Bold. That’s how Robert Rivas, newly elected assembly member to California’s 30th district describes himself, his leadership style and his campaign. “I’m not afraid to make a decision, so long as it’s the right decision to make,” said Rivas said in his first interview after locking in a solid victory Nov. 6 in his first bid for the state Assembly. Rivas’ story is the embodiment of the “California dream,” as he calls it. As the grandson of a migrant farm worker, Rivas grew up in Paicines, in southern San Benito County. After several years of living in farmworker housing, the family moved to Hollister in 1989, where Rivas attended San Benito High School and got involved early in politics and leadership. The children of a single

mother, Rivas and his brother began working in their community at the urging of their grandfather, who had been a guiding voice in Rivas’ life. Despite passing away from cancer in 2011, Rivas’ grandfather got to see Robert Rivas elected to the San Benito County Board of Supervisors in 2010. Eight years later, Rivas is headed to Sacramento, representing the 30th Assembly District. Sitting in his office nestled next to Hollister City Hall, he was surrounded by stacks of campaign signs in every corner. A piece of white printer paper was still taped to the door leading into the smaller office in the back— “the war room.” The war might be over, but the work is just beginning. For Rivas the new mountain of work isn’t just okay, but welcomed. Throughout his political career hard work has become a celebrated part of his legacy. After his election as supervisor, Rivas took two more jobs to

provide for his newly formed family. He’s worked as a grant coordinator and later a student support manager at San Benito High School, while teaching political science at Gavilan College. The experiences, he said, have all led him to this point, informing how he helped make policy and whom it served. Shawn Tennenbaum, superintendent for the San Benito High School district, hired Rivas to work at his alma mater. He said having Rivas work at the school has given San Benito High students the opportunity to model themselves after a leader. “Having that ability to see themselves in Robert,” said Tennenbaum. “That’s invaluable.” Despite an instinctive interest in politics, Rivas said he never envisioned himself as the candidate, rather the man behind the curtain. Early in his career he worked on local campaigns with his brother, Rick Rivas, making connections to leaders within the community, and staying largely out of the spotlight.

Having overcome a childhood stutter, Rivas said he had apprehensions about being in the public eye. Ultimately he decided that he was the person to get the work done. Friends and mentors warned Rivas that he was unlikely to win his first campaign, but he said that only motivated him more. In the first political campaign of his own, Rivas unseated twotime incumbent Patricia Loe for the District 3 seat, winning over 70 percent of the vote. There are no hard feelings now, Rivas said The two have even become friends in recent years. Loe would come to endorse Rivas’ Assembly campaign. “He’s a very truthful, dedicated young man,” said Loe. “I hope to see him go far in the political arena.” The same internal drive that pushed Rivas to run for supervisor returned when the opportunity arose for him to run for the 30th ➝ Rivas, 8

Police Department investigated a series of armed robberies. On Nov. 8, at approximately 12pm, police said a white male adult entered the 7-11 at 162 West Tenth Street and contacted the store clerk, displayed a handgun and demanded money from the register. The suspect was able to flee the store with an

undisclosed amount of cash, according to police. The next day, at approximately 7:45pm, the same white male adult entered the Travel Park convenience store at 5920 Travel Park Circle, displayed a handgun and again demanded money from the register. The suspect fled the store with

an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. On Nov. 10, at approximately 1:30am, the same white male from the previous two robberies entered another 7-11 at 691 First Street, and demanded money from the register. The clerk told police he refused to meet the suspect’s demands and moments later the suspect

left the store without any money. The suspect in all three cases is described as 20-25 years of age with brown hair and a youthful appearance. Anyone with information about these cases or who can identify the suspect depicted in police photos is asked to contact Det. Cryar at 408-846-0335.

park would bring muchneeded revenue to the city and allow for a tourist destination with restaurants and hotels available for those who visit or use the facilities. “There ain’t gonna be no Amazon coming to Gilroy,” said Councilmember Fred Tovar. “So we need to find revenue.” When it came to the Wren/Hewell land, which would bring in land for 250 to 300 homes, the council was more divided. Mayor Roland Velasco said he was sympathetic to the plight of the developers who had submitted numerous environmental impact reports. However, members of the council feared submitting the requests together or consecutively would look to the agency like urban sprawl or unregulated growth. Tovar said the 15 percent of homes in the project that would be affordable or low-income housing are not enough to address the city’s affordable housing problem. Connie Rogers, president of Gilroy Growing Smarter, who spearheaded the initiative for the urban growth boundary, spoke at the meeting. Rogers said she was speaking as an individual but expressed support for the sports park project and said she was even in favor of the Wren/Hewell project since the development would not happen for four to five years. “I would really love to see the sports park fully developed and the commercial property by it developed,” said Rogers. “I see that as an economic asset.”

The Gilroy City Council is still contemplating moving forward with plans to annex parcels of land outside city limits. A Gilroy Sports Park expansion project and an amendment to the Wren/ Hewell residential development are two projects under discussion. Upon approval by council, the projects would move toward a submittal process to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). At a recent study session, the council decided to discuss the issue again next month when the staff would have more information on the cost and time it would take to update the existing environmental impact report for the sports park area. The sports park annexation was conditionally approved in 2006 by LAFCO under the provision that the city would create an agricultural mitigation plan within one year. The city did not complete a mitigation plan until 19 months after the approval, so the annexation was revoked. The agricultural mitigation plan is still in effect. The city staff report defines the USA amendment, which both projects would need to move

forward, as “a city boundary that delineates areas that are currently provided with urban services, facilities and utilities; or areas proposed to be annexed into a city within the next five years in order to be developed and receive such services.” LAFCO is a county agency made up of seven individuals who decide the fate of city projects that hope to bring land into the city or extend services the city provides, like water and sewer. The agency has six criteria it looks at when deciding the status of projects. The agency looks to determine that the proposed boundaries won’t create areas that would be difficult for a city or special district to serve, that the city can provide facilities and services to the newly annexed area, and that logical boundaries are followed with natural or manmade characteristics. No new special districts should be created, adjustments have to address fiscal repercussions and the identity of the community should be taken into account. In just over 20 years the city has submitted 20 USA Amendment requests to LAFCO, but very few have been approved. LAFCO limits any requests made by cities to one per year, meaning cities typically bundle projects. If the city decides to move forward with the sports park plans it may take up to two years before anything is submitted for LAFCO approval. The council was largely in agreement that the annexation of the sports

Gavilan College restructuring nursing programs NEW LVN, RN PROGRAMS RESPOND TO JOB MARKET Staff report

File Photo

Gavilan College is planning a major restructuring of its nursing programs, citing changes in health care and a desire to help students complete programs more quickly and efficiently. “We need to help students make the best use of their time and provide the education that will lead them to the greatest career success,” said Denee Pescarmona, Gavilan College Vice President of Academic Affairs in a Nov. 13 press release. The plan would suspend the college’s Licensed Vocational Nursing Program until 2020 while it is redesigned, and restructure its Registered Nursing Program as a stand-alone program. Pescarmona, who joined Gavilan in July, has been in discussion with the nursing faculty for several months regarding potential changes to the program, according to staff. In order to facilitate the transition, the college will not be admitting a new Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) class in Fall 2019. Students who are currently enrolled in the first and second year of the foursemester LVN program will be able to complete that program as planned. Students who wish to begin an LVN program in

GAVILAN COLLEGE Nursing programs at the GIlroy-based community college will be changing. Fall 2019 can speak with their counselors about applying at neighboring colleges, according to staff. They plan to restructure and restart the LVN program for Fall 2020. Gavilan College is still accepting Fall 2019

applications for the Registered Nursing (RN) program. “The nursing faculty hopes to restructure the program in a way that allows students to attain their career certifications more quickly,”

according to the press release. “They are planning to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether the college should restructure the RN Program from the current ‘ladder’ approach, requiring

attainment of the LVN prior to application to the RN program, into a stand-alone program.” Gavilan plans to accept applications for a restructured LVN program for Fall 2020. As details become

available, they will be posted at gavilan.edu/academic/ah/index.php. Gavilan College is one of the state’s 114 community colleges, serving a 2,700square-mile area from South San Jose through most of San Benito County.

OPINION GUEST OPINION DAN WALTERS

Election will increase taxes This month’s election was good news for those who believe Californians’ taxes, while already among the nation’s highest, should be increased. Voters elected Gavin Newsom, who has an expansive and expensive agenda, as governor, and also solidified Democrats’ supermajorities in the Legislature, giving them, at least on paper, unfettered power to raise taxes for that agenda. Voters’ willingness to raise taxes was most starkly demonstrated, however, at the local level, where the vast majority of nearly 400 city, county and school district tax measures (including bonds that require new property taxes to repay) were endorsed by voters, according to a tally by Californiacityfinance.com. About three-quarters of those tax increases were approved, including 90 percent of the 168 placed on the ballot in California cities. They are facing sharp increases in mandatory payments for city employee pensions, although that factor was rarely mentioned in the preelection campaigning. Instead, most local government tax campaigns stressed improvements in popular police, fire and park services. Most of the proposals were designated as general taxes, which allowed them to be approved by simple majority votes and also allowed them to be used for any purposes, not simply those cited by proponents. The state constitution says that taxes meant for specific purposes require a two-thirds voter approval, but last year, the state Supreme Court cast a cloud on that provision, implying in a Southern California marijuana case that if special-purpose tax measures are placed on the ballot by initiative petition, rather than by local governments themselves, the two-thirds vote threshold might not apply. Pro- and anti-tax organizations want a definitive judicial ruling on the issue and two measures passed by San Francisco voters this year, one in June and the other this month, might provide it. Measure C, placed on the June ballot by an initiative petition sponsored by members of the city’s Board of Supervisors and approved by 51 percent of its voters, imposes a 3.5 percent tax on local commercial rents, such as office buildings, and a 1 percent tax on warehouse rents. Entitled “Universal Childcare for San Francisco Families,” the measure dedicates tax proceeds to child care and early childhood education. This month, another Measure C, also placed on San Francisco’s ballot by initiative, imposes a 1.5 percent gross receipts tax on large businesses located in the city – clearly aimed at high-tech corporations – and dedicates revenues to helping the homeless. It won about 60 percent approval, but the proceeds won’t be spent until after a court case involving the first Measure C is resolved. Commercial property owners and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association sued, contending that June’s Measure C is clearly a special tax, since its proceeds are designated for one purpose, and thereby needed a twothirds vote. If the plaintiffs win, both Measure Cs will be voided. If they lose, the door will be open to even more local tax initiatives dedicated to single purposes but requiring only simple majority votes, Meanwhile, another conflict over local taxes is simmering. Los Angeles County voters overwhelmingly approved a “parcel tax” on “impermeable land” through which water cannot pass, such as driveways and parking lots. Proceeds would be used on water improvement projects. However, the California Taxpayers Association filed a complaint with the state Fair Political Practices Commission, alleging that the county board of supervisors violated state election law by spending taxpayer money on a campaign for the water tax. If that complaint is upheld, local government drives for higher taxes could be sharply curtailed.

Robert Rivas draws on his rural roots ➝ Rivas, 1

District Assembly seat. Rivas said it was ultimately his history and family that motivated him to run. He said Dolores Huerta, labor and civil rights leader for the United Farm Workers, of which Rivas’ grandfather had been an active member, told him, “Your grandfather didn’t work in the fields for over 40 years for you to pass up an opportunity to be in the state legislature and really make a difference in the lives of millions and millions of people, let alone the people in your own district and community.” His next political step came with the guidance and a path that was paved by former 30th District representatives, Simon Salinas and Anna Caballero. Rivas interned with Salinas while in college and later worked for Caballero. Now he’ll be taking Caballero’s place in the

Assembly as she is headed to a state Senate seat she appeared last week to have won by a narrow margin. “My view having seen him work as a supervisor is that it really matters what people think—and he’s really in touch with people,” said Caballero. “He works in a bipartisan manner.” Caballero and Rivas cited his work to lead the fight against fracking in San Benito County as an illustration of his work ethic and ability to reach across party lines. Rivas was a major proponent of Measure J, which outlawed fracking in the county in 2014. His position gained him big enemies in the oil industry, which poured the kind of money typically seen in national races into an assembly primary in an unsuccessful effort to stop Rivas in his tracks. “I felt like fracking, in my opinion was inconsistent, incompatible with the identity of this county,” said

Rivas. “That’s why I fought very hard to ban it. It wasn't about politics,—to me it was about common sense.” Rivas said his ultimate decision to run for assembly came from the lack of opportunities available for the residents of his new district. He said the “California dream” that had allowed him and his grandfather to succeed doesn’t seem to exist anymore. “When I reflected on my experience, on the fact that I benefited from this great state, my grandfather was absolutely right that if I worked hard I would have opportunity,” said Rivas. However, he wasn’t sure if he could still tell his daughter the same thing. Now, Rivas is ready to bring the California dream back to the 30th district, which stretches from Morgan Hill to King City—a swath of land Rivas traveled continuously throughout his campaign,

HIS ABUELITA Robert Rivas credits his grandmother with being a strong motivating force

in his career.

putting 4,000 miles a month on his Prius. He said he is ready for the work and the drive that awaits him up in

Sacramento. As for Rivas’ California dream, it still feels too good to be true. “If you had told me as a kid that someday I’d be

sitting next to the speaker of the Assembly or as a newly elected member of the Assembly, said Rivas. “I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Gilroy woman killed in Morgan Hill wreck TWO KILLED IN WRECKS NOV. 9 ON WATSONVILLE ROAD NEAR VENETIAN Staff reports

Morgan Hill police responded to two fatal collisions on Watsonville Road on Nov. 9—one involving a pedestrian and the other a single-vehicle accident, according to police. The first accident occurred about 3:45pm in the area of Watsonville Road and Venetian Way, a few blocks southeast of Monterey Road. When police arrived on the scene, officers located a vehicle

on the north sidewalk of Watsonville Road, according to Morgan Hill police. The vehicle exhibited major front-end damage. Two people inside the vehicle appeared to have significant injuries and both were unresponsive, police said. Police and Morgan Hill Fire Department personnel began rescue efforts on the two crash victims. The driver and passenger—both Gilroy residents—were transported to a local trauma center, according to police. The passenger was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. The driver of the vehicle was listed in critical condition as of Nov. 12. The passenger who died in the accident was identified as Tiffany Ulanimo,

26, of Gilroy, according to the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office. Officers from the MHPD Traffic Unit are investigating the collision. Prior to the collision, the vehicle was seen traveling eastbound on Watsonville Road, then drifted across the westbound lanes of traffic and collided with a tree, according to police.

Evening victim was active community member As police and paramedics continued to process the scene of the single-vehicle accident, authorities responded to another accident in the same area involving a pedestrian. The pedestrian was hit by a vehicle about

8:08pm Nov. 9 in the area of Watsonville Road and Venetian Way, according to police. When officers arrived to the scene, police found the involved vehicle and an unresponsive female pedestrian suffering from significant injuries in Margaret the roadway. Police and Snively paramedics from the Morgan Hill Fire Department began life-saving efforts. The pedestrian was transported to a local trauma center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, according to police. The coroner’s office identified the woman as Margaret Snively, 71, of Morgan Hill.

Officers of the MHPD Traffic Unit are investigating this accident as well. Prior to the evening collision, Snively was seen crossing Watsonville Road northbound near Venetian Way, when she was struck by a vehicle traveling westbound on Watsonville Road, according to police. Witnesses at the scene were contacted and corroborated the statement of the driver of the vehicle that collided with Snively. The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative with the police investigation. Snively was highly active in the American Association of University

Choking, smoky air shuts Gavilan classes MORGAN HILL AND GILROY SCHOOLS STAY INSIDE Scott Forstner Reporter

airnow.gov

With “Unhealthy” air quality levels reaching south Santa Clara County because of smoke from Butte County wildfires, Gavilan College canceled all classes at each of its locations Nov. 15-16. Local school districts in Morgan Hill and Gilroy remained open both days with no outside activities, such as recess, physical education and athletic practices. Community college students and staff were notified via “GavALERT” messaging in text, email and social media of the cancellations, according to Gavilan Public Information Officer Jan Bernstein-Chargin. At Morgan Hill and Gilroy Unified School Districts, district-wide precautions were taken to ensure student and staff safety during the Nov. 15-16 school days. “The air quality in Gilroy has moved into the unhealthy range. All students will be kept indoors throughout the school day today, including breaks, recesses, lunches, physical education classes, and after school programs,” according to a Gilroy schools message sent out Nov. 15. “Athletic practices will also be moved indoors. Student-athletes should contact their individual coaches for scheduling and logistical information,” the message continues. “We anticipate the same schedule for all Gilroy Unified School District sites

tomorrow, and will update you on the status of the air quality tomorrow.” According to the Bay Area Quality Management Index, the Air Quality Index for Gilroy reached as high as 180 and was last measured at 174 for Nov. 15. The next day, air quality got slightly better at 160 but still remained in the “unhealthy” range. Air quality was expected to remain at unhealthy levels through Nov. 20, and a cold front was expected to move into the region Wednesday, bringing with it the chance of rain. Air quality within the 151-200 range is considered “unhealthy” for all individuals, according to the AQI key. Morgan Hill schools staff posted a message on its Facebook page alerting families to the poor air quality and precautions being made at its district schools. “The air quality in Morgan Hill continues to be poor from the Camp Fire in Butte County. We continue to monitor the conditions to ensure the safety of all our students,” it states. “Currently, all Morgan Hill Unified schools will limit outdoor activities including recess and physical education activities. We will assess conditions each day.” In a follow-up message Nov. 16, school officials again notified families via social media that schools were open for the day, heading into the weekend and weeklong Thanksgiving break. “The Public Health Department remains firm that the current (Air Quality Index) numbers do not warrant a school closure,” said

DANGEROUS AIR Red areas on Bay Area map show smoky danger zones. Supt. Steve Betando in that message to MHUSD families posted on Facebook. “We continue to monitor the air quality which is better than yesterday but still projected to be unhealthy today.” In addressing MHUSD staff Nov. 16, Betando explained that schools will remain open as “an option for parents” since many are “in distress with no day care and scrambling to find places for their children.” “To me, the best decision to keep schools open is that it supports true equity for families less advantaged or in a bind related to work responsibilities,” he wrote. The Santa Clara County health department has

advised residents “to take precautions due to visible smoke in the air.” Those precautions include: Stay inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside; and set air conditioning units and car vent systems to re-circulate to prevent outside air from moving inside. Smoke can irritate the eyes and airways, causing coughing, a dry, scratchy throat and irritated sinuses, according to the county health dept. Elevated particulate matter in the air can trigger wheezing in those who suffer from respiratory conditions, such as asthma or emphysema/ COPD. County staff recommended that parents and school administrators check air quality readings before

allowing children to practice outdoor sports while air quality is unhealthy. “Residents may have questions about using masks to help with protection from wildfire smoke. The most important thing you can do is to stay indoors as much as possible when you smell or see smoke in the air,” according to county staff. “If you work outdoors or prolonged outdoor activity is unavoidable, and there is heavy smoke, certain masks (for example, properly fitted N-95 masks) can protect against harmful exposure.” Bandanas and typical surgical masks do not protect against wildfire smoke particles, according to county staff.

Moderate conditions in San Benito County AQI readings for Hollister remained in the 50-100 moderate range, according to San Benito High School staff. After initially giving the go-ahead for after school sports, SBHS staff later decided to cancel all afterschool activities Nov. 15 to ensure student safety. “If the AQI is in the 100150 range, then conditioning would be limited but not necessarily cancelled,” according to SBHS earlier in the day. “The California Interscholastic Federation and Central Coast Section mandate that outdoor sports will be cancelled if the AQI is at 150 or above.”

GILROY DISPATCH

NOVEMBER 23, 2018

Panetta boosts victory margin over 2016 ➝ Panetta, 1

home 20th District and across the U.S. Panetta, whose district includes half of Gilroy, part of Santa Cruz County and all of San Benito and Monterey counties, is a member of the House Agriculture Committee. The son of Washington D.C. legend Leon Panetta—former CIA and budget director, White House chief of

staff and defense secretary for presidents Clinton and Obama—was elected to the House in 2016. Jimmy Panetta’s re-election vote totals have grown steadily since the Nov. 6 election, as mailed and provisional ballots inflated his winning percentage over independent Ronald Kobat to more than 80 percent. About the re-election victory, Panetta said in

a statement to the Free Lance, “I am grateful to the voters of California’s 20th Congressional District for their trust in me to continue to be their representative in Congress.” “I remain committed to serving our communities and championing our Central Coast values in Washington.” If Congressional leaders are unable to pass a five-year

renewal of the comprehensive farm bill in the remaining days of this year, Panetta said he hopes “all members will be willing to come to the table and pass a strong bill that supports our domestic producers, consumers and rural communities.” Panetta will join a solid Democratic majority in the House, where his party won’t have just the 23-seat gain it needed for a bare

majority, but enough for a comfortable majority. If Democrats win seats they are leading, including four undecided contests in California in which they led Nov. 16, the party would claim a 38-seat gain and a solid 16-vote majority in the House. With 90 percent of most 20th District returns counted as Nov. 16, Panetta had 144,224 votes, or 80

percent, district-wide, compared to 35,023 for Kabat, at 20 percent. In San Benito County, his winning margin was less, with 11,744 votes, 71 percent of the total, compared to 4,807, 29 percent for Kabat. Jimmy Panetta was a deputy district attorney for Monterey County, where his wife is a Superior Court judge.

Pedestrian killed in Monterey at Church Staff report

A 65-year-old Gilroy man died Friday evening after a vehicle struck him while he was crossing Monterey

Road, according to police. The accident occurred about 5:50pm Nov. 16, when a 43-year-old Gilroy woman was driving a 2018 Jeep southbound on

Monterey Road, through the intersection with Church Avenue, reads a press release from the California Highway Patrol. A male pedestrian

was attempting to cross Monterey Road on foot, from the east shoulder to the west shoulder, when he walked into the path of the Jeep, police said. The

vehicle, which officers estimated was traveling about 70 to 75 mph, struck the pedestrian, who was pronounced dead by paramedics on the scene at 6:02pm..

The driver of the Jeep was not arrested at the scene. Authorities did not know if alcohol or drugs were factors in the accident.

Gilroy to step up traffic enforcement STATE GRANT ALSO WILL PAY FOR EDUCATION OF DRIVERS Staff report

The Gilroy Police Department has received a state grant to help pay for traffic education and more enforcement of traffic violations on the city’s streets. The $76,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety was announced earlier this

month.The funds will pay for a year-long traffic safety program intended to educate the public on safe roadway habits and to deter people from violating traffic laws and practicing unsafe behaviors that can lead to injuries and deaths. The grant will fund various education and enforcement activities for the 2019 federal fiscal year, including: • DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols to take suspected

alcohol and drugimpaired drivers— and those who are unlicensed or driving with a revoked/suspended license—off the road • Traffic safety education presentations for youth and community members on distracted, impaired and teen driving, and bicycle/pedestrian safety • Patrols at intersections with increased

incidents of pedestrian and bike collisions • Motorcycle safety operations in areas with high rider volume and where higher rate of motorcycle crashes occur • Speeding, red light and stop sign enforcement • Compilation of DUI “Hot Sheets” identifying repeat DUI offenders

• Specialized DUI and drugged-driving training to identify and apprehend suspected impaired drivers. In 2016, 3,623 people were killed in crashes throughout California, a 7 percent increase from 2015, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Also in 2016, 867 pedestrians were killed on California roadways—a nearly 33 percent increase from 2012.

Along with education about the growing dangers of distracting technologies like phones and drug-impaired driving, the grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these dangerous and illegal behaviors in Gilroy, according to authorities. “Almost all crashes are preventable,” Office of Traffic Safety director Rhonda Craft said in a press release. “Education and enforcement go hand in hand helping change behaviors that cause devastating crashes.”

COLLEGE SIGNINGS

Submitted

Next level

TRIPLE THREAT Christopher High seniors Andrew Kachel, Garret Santos and Jack Tomlinson have signed on to play baseball at four-year programs. The trio helped lead the Cougars to the semifinals of the Central Coast Section playoffs last season.

COUGARS’ TRIO TAKE THEIR GAME TO 4-YEAR PROGRAMS emanuel lee Sports Editor

“Brutal.” “Terrible.” “Long and a lot of uncertainty.” Those are the words Andrew Kachel, Garret Santos and Jack Tomlinson used to describe the recruiting process. Through it all, the Christopher High baseball players persevered to earn scholarships to play at the four-year level. The trio was part of a ceremony at school Wednesday to confirm their signings on National Letter of Intent Signing Day.

In a poignant event filled with laughs and plenty of emotion, the three players expressed thanks and gratitude to friends and family members for helping them to get to this point. Kachel has signed with Fresno State, Santos with Fresno Pacific and Tomlinson at the University of California at San Diego. “I think about the amount of people that has actually been there for you throughout the whole journey,” Kachel said. “You don’t make yourself—it’s the people who you surround yourself with—the coaches and family members—that make you.” “I had so many people supporting me, and the best memory is persevering no matter how much I got kicked down,” said Tomlinson, an outfielder who just committed to UCSD last weekend. Nothing came easy.” Tomlinson’s dad, Kevin,

retold a story during the event that spoke to his son’s grit and determination. Jack was 7 years old and playing for a Morgan Hill Pony team that had just been eliminated in the playoffs. After a game, Jack went up to his dad and said, “Dad, I don’t want to suck anymore.” “I told him he didn’t have to worry about it and that it was time to go to work,” said Kevin, who then put his hand on Jack’s shoulders and said, ‘I just want to tell you, you don’t suck anymore.” The comments drew laughter from those in attendance, a lighthearted moment that belied the intensity the three players show every time they take the field. College coaches notice when players are competing as if their livelihood depends on it, and from that perspective, the Christopher seniors check off all the boxes when it comes to the intangibles.

“The Fresno Pacific coaches said I played hard, was really aggressive and wasn’t afraid of the pressures of playing in a camp in front of college coaches, that it didn’t affect me,” said Santos, who played right field for the Cougars last season but is projected to play his preferred position of second base in college. “They look for all the physical stuff, to be able to hit the ball hard and be fast.” The years of hard work paid off for the players, especially Santos, who envisioned this moment for a long time. “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, since forever,” he said. “So there is a lot of excitement just knowing all the hard work paid off.” Kachel caught the eye of the Fresno State coaches when they were in attendance at one of the Cougars’ Central Coast Section

playoff games last spring. The one noticeable part in all this? “They were not there to look at me,” said Kachel, a shortstop who also pitched last season. “They didn’t know who my name was at that point. But I stood out to them, and now I’m here. They said they liked my drive and poise and the way I play the game. That I played with passion—that is the first thing they noticed.” Santos has a similar recruiting path in that Fresno Pacific didn’t start pursuing him until he went to one of their baseball camps in September. This was after Santos had visited the school on a whim as he was traveling with his friend Travis Romero, whose sister Haley attends Fresno Pacific. “It was a coincidence how I came upon Fresno Pacific,” he said.

they want me to play.” Rogers’ connection to UC Davis goes back to her former Mustangs teammate Carli Coyler, a sophomore forward for the Aggies. “They asked my old teammate if we had any good players on our team, and they came out and watched our game against Mitty,” Davis said. “They only saw me play once, but they have that kind of confidence in me.” Coach Adam Gemar’s Mustangs squad went 17-3 and a perfect 11-0 in their conference this past season, and while their season came to a close on Nov. 3 with a 3-1 loss against St. Ignatius High, one local opposing coach

knows how hard it is to play against Rogers. “She’s one of those players you need to plan to play against because she can do so much damage,” said Christopher High coach Dani Hemeon, who also coached Rogers at the Infinity Sports Club. “I know when she goes to Davis she’ll do the same thing.” It took a lot of work and support to get Rogers to this point and judging by the amount of support she got at her college signing, there is no limit to where she can go. “My cheeks are shaking,” Rogers said after posing for dozens of pictures after the signing ceremony.

Bryce Stoepfel

After another successful season and a Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division championship, it’s time for the departing seniors on the Gilroy High field hockey team to decide on their future. One of them—Mustangs star Cami Rogers—signed a letter of intent last Friday to play field hockey at UC Davis. With only a few choices of California schools who offer field hockey, going to UC Davis was tops on Rogers’ list. Rogers will need to play a significant role for UC Davis coach Britt Broedy, whose Aggies team went 6-13 overall and 0-6 in conference play last season.

“At first I wanted to go somewhere else in the country, but then I realized I wanted to stay home,” said Rogers, who also considered the University of Iowa and University of Virginia. “Davis was my No. 1 choice in California. It’s so safe there and I love the vibe.” Rogers, who mostly plays midfield, was asked to play multiple positions at Gilroy, an experience she believes helped her develop as a player. “It’s helped me understand the game more,” Rogers said. “They (UC Davis) haven’t told me where they want me to play, but I’m 100 percent up to playing anywhere

IMPACT PLAYER Gilroy High senior Cami Rogers was all

smiles after signing her letter of intent to play for UC Davis.

PROTECTING NEIGHBORHOODS

With new wildfires threatening our local communities, PG&E is partnering with our customers in high fire-threat areas to accelerate and expand our vegetation management work. We will be examining and addressing critical vegetation across 7,100 miles of power lines. The 2018 wildfire season is already one of the worst on record — with more than 1.5 million acres burned and more than 1,000 homes lost. And it’s not over yet. With the wildfire risk increasing at an alarming pace, the 2018 wildfire activity is on track to exceed the 2017 wildfire season, which was the most destructive on record. In order to keep our neighborhoods safe, PG&E may need to trim or remove vegetation on or near properties in high firethreat areas. PG&E’s action plan includes the following steps: ■ Step 1: Our safety inspectors will be in your neighborhood to determine what vegetation may need to be trimmed or removed. ■ Step 2: If needed, we will mark trees that need to be addressed and contact you to discuss the results of the safety inspection. ■ Step 3: We will perform safety work shortly after the inspection. ■ Step 4: We will plan to begin wood debris removal within a few weeks after completion of the safety work (unless you would like to keep it).

KEEPING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE

You can help keep your family and neighbors safe by maintaining defensible space around your home and property. We recommend you regularly trim bushes and trees, remove any dry or dead vegetation and be sure to leave space between trees and plants.

Now, and in the years ahead, we must all work together to be better prepared for wildfires.

To learn if you live in a high fire-threat area and what you can do to keep your community safe, please visit pge.com/wildfiresafety.

First Street, San Jose, CA 95113 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 7392 CREWS ROAD, GILROY (Unincorporated Area), CA 95020 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an AS IS condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $950,949.27 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 95263963. 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Affinia Default Services, LLC, Jorge Torres, Foreclosure Associate This communication is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. However, if you have received a discharge of the debt referenced herein in a bankruptcy proceeding, this is not an attempt to impose personal liability upon you for payment of that debt. In the event you have received a bankruptcy discharge, any action to enforce the debt will be taken against the property only.
