DRAFT EIR DOES LITTLE TO EASE TENSIONS IN SAN MARTIN By Jaqueline McCool Reporter
➝ Cordoba Center, 5
Robert Eliason
South Valley Islamic families are beginning to see their long-awaited plans to build a mosque and community center in San Martin come together, but some vocal San Martin residents continue to oppose the project. The pros and cons of building the proposed Cordoba Center were discussed July 11 at a special meeting of the Santa Clara County Planning Commission to hear comments on a draft environmental impact report. Many of the comments reflected the continuing culture clash in this unincorporated community of 7,000 along U.S. 101 between Gilroy and Morgan Hill, rather than the specifics of the EIR. The 200-page report identified few negative impacts of the construction project. The South Valley
KIDS’ MUSIC Sean Mendelson of Sean’s Music Factory entertains kids and parents at the Morgan Hill Library.
Jamming in July SUMMER FUN AT MORGAN HILL LIBRARY By Debra Eskinazi Magazine and Features Editor
More than 150 kids and parents rocked out with Sean’s Music Factory Thursday, July 12 at the Morgan Hill Library on Main Avenue. The event, July Jams, says Jennifer Weeks, is part of the Santa Clara
County Library District (SCCDL) summer programming for children. Weeks, the SCCDL Library Services Manager said July Jams is focused on building family engagement and opportunities for kids to learn and “most certainly about having fun.” Weeks said this kind of play allows for endless skill building from listening, which helps with learning new words and
dancing, which works on their motor skills. Weeks, who’s worked with Sean Mendelson of Sean’s Music Factory before, says his shows are fun and engaging. “He is a music teacher by trade, and he gets everyone playing along,” she said. “They were actively listening to the cues in the music to control their actions and develop motor skills. And the fun and original songs
helped children learn the rhythms and rhymes of spoken language.” The simple games, said Weeks, prepare children for reading. “Children need to sing, play, read, write and talk to build early literacy skills and the library provides space, resources and classes all for free,” Weeks adds. The library offers weekly summer programming and classes that differ from its programming
throughout the year, including free lunch and activities for kids. “Vacation can be a time when kids slide and lose skills, but with STEM classes, art camps and the opportunity to keep reading to earn cool prizes,” said Weeks.

Women charged with felonies in July 7 fight TWO SUSPECTS TOLD POLICE THEY WERE DEFENDING SELVES FROM THREE MEN Michael Moore Editor
Two women accused of stabbing three men in downtown Morgan Hill July 7 told officers that they were defending themselves from the men,
who had been harassing them earlier in the evening. However, the alleged victims told police the attacks were unprovoked after a late night of drinking at local bars. The three men were treated at San Jose Regional Hospital’s trauma center for multiple stab wounds. Morgan Hill police confirmed that, as of July 16, two of the men had been released from the hospital, but were unsure if
the third victim had been released yet. All three are expected to survive the stabbings. The suspects, Tori Sanchez, 22, of Freedom, and Alexandria Campos, 23, of Morgan Hill, were arraigned at the Morgan Hill Courthouse July 11 on three felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon in relation to the early-morning July 7 incident. The maximum sentence for a single count of assault with a deadly
weapon is four years in prison. Sanchez and Campos have been in custody at the Santa Clara County Jail since their arrest by Morgan Hill police, and appeared July 11 in jailissued attire. Campos had a bandage on her right hand, which she suffered during the altercation that preceded her arrest. Attorney Micael Estremera of the Santa Clara County Public Defender’s Office argued
for the defendants to be released from custody, with supervision, while awaiting further court proceedings. Estremera noted that neither defendant had ever been arrested or convicted of a crime. Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Phong Banh argued Sanchez’ and Campos’ bail should be set “based on the viscous nature of the attacks” of July 7. ➝ Stabbing, 11

CAUSE IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED, AUTHORITIES SAY
The cause of a fire that burned more than 50 acres of vegetation and killed four horses north of Morgan Hill last week remains under investigation, according to authorities.
About 1:45pm July 10, firefighters responded to the fire that began on Hale Avenue near Live Oak Avenue, according to CalFire Fire Prevention Specialist Pam Temmermand. The fire burned on an agricultural property on the west side of Hale Avenue, just south of Miramonte Avenue. Before firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze with fire engines and other ground apparatus
including air tankers and helicopters, the fire had burned about 51 acres of grass and vegetation, Temmermand said. Three outbuildings burned and four horses died as a result of the flames. The fire was mostly extinguished by the evening of July 10, but some crews remained at the scene the following day to clean up. No injuries were reported, Temmermand said.

police that Carr, during a lengthy verbal argument, “ripped the glasses from her face and threw them to the ground, causing them to break,” and pulled her hair in the process, according to the police report of the investigation. Carr told police at the time that any contact he made with his girlfriend during the argument was accidental. Carr—who is currently serving in his fifth term as a Morgan Hill councilman—was convicted of a similar misdemeanor charge in 2015, in relation to an incident at the couple’s previous home March 23. Carr pleaded no contest to domestic battery and completed a 16-week counseling program. The court later dismissed the charge from his record, at Carr’s formal request. Carr has also denied acting violently in that incident, and said he pleaded no contest to avoid prolonged court proceedings. If Carr is convicted of the 2017 charge, the court can consider the 2015 conviction as a prior offense in his sentencing, according to authorities.

Islamic community seeks mosque OK member Nashaba Afzal said at the meeting that the report, combined with the decision by the South Valley Islamic Community to withdraw its previous applications, represented an effort to be transparent. She said, “We didn’t want people thinking that we’re shoving this down their throats.” The plan remains a flashpoint for many, with residents from Gilroy and Morgan Hill joining their San Martin neighbors in the comments at the meeting. Booing or clapping occasionally drowned out speakers’ remarks, and signs both for and against the center were fervently waved in the air. Afzal’s three daughters, Hanna, 19, Sana, 16 and Maimona, 23, defended the project during the public comments, saying the opposition was directed more toward Islamic community members than the specifics of the Cordoba Center plan. “Let’s call this opposition for what it is: bigotry,” said Maimona Afzal-Berta. The San Martin Neighborhood Alliance has been a fierce opponent of the project from the start, and members of the group protested at Wednesday’s meeting, accompanied by large printed photos of floods in San Martin., In an emailed statement on behalf of the alliance, Trina Hineser said the group is concerned about the center’s size, what they say are inaccuracies in the EIR, the proposed cemetery’s impact on groundwater and the
center’s effects on development in San Martin. “We would be pleased to engage with the proposers regarding a more modest project that would meet their needs with substantially less impact,” wrote Hineser, “but regretfully cannot support this project as proposed.” Islamic community member Hambdy Abass said the South Valley Islamic Community and the neighborhood alliance have sat down on multiple occasions to discuss the project. Abass said he was confused after seeing the alliance at the meeting. “They say they’re on our side,” he said, adding that he doesn’t feel that the points the alliance has made in public reflect the concerns and sentiments the group shared with Islamic community members in private meetings. The alliance’s concerns regarding the cemetery’s effect on San Martin residents’ water supplies was echoed by many attendees throughout the meeting. While the EIR shows the center having minimal impact on flooding and the community’s access to groundwater, the report finds the cemetery’s effect on water quality in the area to be “potentially significant.” The report stated, “The potential effect on groundwater is not because of any specific toxicity [human remains] possess, but rather because of the potential for increasing the concentration of naturally occurring organic or inorganic substances to levels that would render the

Cordoba Center, 1 Islamic Community, which serves Muslim families residing in South Santa Clara County, has been meeting in a converted barn in San Martin since 2001. The community purchased the land for the new worship center in 2006 and has re-submitted plans three times. In 2012, plans for a mosque and community center were unanimously approved by the county planning commission and Board of Supervisors. But when neighbors sued to block the project, the Islamic community voluntarily withdrew, re-submitting plans for a larger facility and offering to fund an EIR. Six years later, the center is again a few months away from final county approval. The center is to be built on Monterey Road neighboring Llagas Creek, on the highest point in San Martin. The proposed project includes a mosque, a community building, recreational facilities, a cemetery and a summer camp site. The Hiram room at the Morgan Hill Community Center was at capacity on July 11, with approximately 280 people inside and more watching on monitors set up in the hallway during the special meeting. The meeting was hosted by the Santa Clara County Planning Commission and San Martin Planning Advisory Committee to mark the halfway point of the comment period on the EIR. The comment period ends July 30. Islamic community

He believed a majority of the comments made were in support of the center. Abass said the questions regarding the cemetery’s effects on groundwater are a valid public concern, but added that the Islamic center’s motivations to ensure that San Martin groundwater remains uncontaminated are just as great as the other members of the community. “We put in a lot of work to make sure the cemetery has no effect on us or our children,” said Abass.

A community questionand-answer session was set for 7pm July 18 at the Advent Lutheran Church, 16870 Murphy Ave., Morgan Hill. Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman was not at the July 11 meeting, but said in a statement that he encourages all constituents to take advantage of the comment period. “The community can also attend and comment on this project at future hearings of the San Martin Planning Advisory Committee, the county planning commission and the Board of Supervisors,” said Wasserman. After the comment period for the draft EIR closes July 30, county
planning staff will spend several weeks compiling responses to the comments. Then the project will be considered by the county planning commission and the Board of Supervisors, with further public review opportunities built into the approval processes. Abass hopes those who still have questions will submit them to the commission, come to questionand-answer sessions, or read the 200-page report. “Everything required of us, we delivered,” said Abass. “It’s time for the county to deliver as well.” Questions and comments should be sent to CordobaEIRComments@ pln.sccgov.org.

OPINION LETTERS Shame on school district I am writing to express my disappointment after reading news reports of a student being victimized by an employee of the Morgan Hill Unified School District back in 2014. It is outrageous that the district failed to follow state law requiring a report of this incident to the police. Because of this, even more students may have been involved. That a teacher and an administrator were able to violate this law (and then avoid consequences because of the statute of limitations) is intolerable. That the taxpayers will no doubt be required to compensate the victims for this negligence is a drain on resources that should be put to educational uses. The safety of our students should be the highest priority of MHUSD; when I wrote to each school board member and Superintendent Steve Betando to ask what they intend to do to make sure breaches of the mandatory reporting law never again occur in this district, only Trustee David Gerard responded to my question. Apparently, this shameful situation isn't considered a problem. Chuck Flagg
Local papers reduce bond interest rates
T
hree economists have published a study that concludes that local newspapers can save taxpayers money. The May 2018 study by Pengjie Gao of Notre Dame and Chang Lee and Dermot Murphy of the University of Illinois at Chicago examined the effect of local newspaper closures on public finance for local governments, and found that following a newspaper closure, municipal borrowing costs increased by 5 to 11 basis points in the long run. The 8,000-word analysis further concluded that these results were not being driven by deteriorating local economic conditions, buwt from increased government inefficiencies and higher government wages, employees and taxes—all associated with the absence of a community newspaper. “Local newspapers hold their governments accountable,” they concluded. They even quoted Thomas Jefferson, who warned more than a decade after his presidency, “The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents.” They also cited a recent Federal Communications Commission report that said, “In many communities, we now face a shortage of local, professional, accountability reporting. This is likely to lead to the kinds of problems that are, not surprisingly, associated with a lack of accountability–more government waste, more local corruption, less effective schools, and other serious community problems.” The economists cited related academic studies that show that “geographic areas with reduced local media coverage have fewer informed voters and lower voter turnouts, removing the incentives of local politicians to work hard on behalf of their constituencies.” The economists warned of a deterioration in the quality of public governance when the local government is no longer being monitored

closely. A local newspaper closure, for example, could affect public borrowing costs because potential lenders have greater difficulty evaluating the quality of public projects and the government officials in charge of these projects. Their study also provided evidence that alternative sources of media, such as the internet, are not acting as sufficient substitutes for these local newspapers. “Our evidence suggests that newspaper closures lead to increased government inefficiencies, [and] local news media have an important and uncompromised external governance role… Local newspapers continue to play a crucial role in informing local residents.” They warned that communities without a local newspaper have a “local information vacuum”that cannot be easily filled. “Non-traditional media outlets, which are primarily online, have not sufficiently filled the investigative journalism gap that has resulted from newspaper closures. Instead, these non-traditional outlets have primarily been in the business of content dissemination rather than the production of new information.” They referred to a warning from Terry Francke, a leading expert on government transparency, about what can happen “to communities without their own old-fashioned diligent news coverage by veteran newspaper reporters, or at least smart reporters led by veteran newspaper editors.” In case we needed more evidence of the importance of our task at the Times, these economists provide some valuable data. It’s no secret that many communities our size have no local newspaper, and the communities suffer. Fortunately, our community support is strong, ensuring that our “watchdog” role—which never had more importance—will continue. For the complete study visit https://ssrn.com/ abstract=3175555.

FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Plans for $1 billion reservoir advance’ It’s a shame that there is always money for Bay Area water but none for the Central Valley, where we need it to grow our food. Only for the rich, I guess. “Quinn” via morganhilltimes.com
Aside from the cost to ratepayers, there are a lot of impacts from this project that the water district never brings up. The new reservoir will inundate hundreds of acres of valuable oak wood and riparian habitat and native American historic sites. The project will bring low-quality delta water into the Pajaro River system that flows into Monterey Bay. Construction impacts will be intense and last at least 6 years. They will build a quarry on site to mine materials and a cement plant to process the mined materials to build the dam. But a huge amount of materials will also need to be brought in from and disposed of offsite. San Benito and southern Santa Clara counties will be inundated with truck traffic, and any site that receives the waste materials will be overburdened. , “KI” via morganhilltimes.com
Re: ‘Letter to the editor: Support for San Martin mosque’ I would rather see this religious project go forward than more three-story townhomes fill that plot of land. A new neighborhood being built on the land would have worse impact than this project. Embrace all religions and people! We need to be united, not divided. “David Edelstein” via morganhilltimes.com
Well written letter and certainly compassionate. San Martin at this time has at least seven places of worship, including the current mosque. I don’t believe the good people of San Martin are opposed to a mosque here, since we In fact, already have one, and none of these facilities of worship established in San Martin are anywhere near the size of this massive Cordoba campus. There are many concerns for a resident of San Martin. We are unincorporated, and at the mercy of the county. We’ve already been polluted and violated by Morgan Hill’s sewage and the Olin Corporation’s perchlorate spill that contaminated our wells and kept us on bottled water for many years. San Martin Neighborhood Alliance and Planning and Advisory Committee have worked tirelessly and intelligently with the county to preserve a rural way of living rapidly disappearing due to greed, and to well meaning but uninformed people who don’t live here. The issues here are these: 1. Groundwater. We are all on wells, and have been violated before, so yes, we’re a little sensitive. 2. Size of the project. What started out as something reasonable and possible has now turned into a large-scale project no longer in keeping with the neighborhood. 3. Misinformation. Very good people have been lambasted in the media for expressing their outrage over having this being dumped on them. What about the neighbors? Does anybody care that people who live here, some of them having been here for generations, care about how this will affect their lives? “Concerned Parent” via morganhilltimes.com

Garlic, festival bring big business GARLIC FEST IS A $3.5M OPERATION, BOON TO GILROY’S LOCAL ECONOMY By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
What started in 1979 as a small community food festival centered on the small, stinky, cousin of the onion has since turned into a world-recognized, Guinness record-holding, multimillion-dollar destination that helped put little Gilroy on the map. The Garlic Festival is a non-profit, but it's also big business–not just for the festival itself, but the entire South Valley, along with one of Gilroy's most recognizable companies, Christopher Ranch. The Garlic Festival has been the biggest weekend in Gilroy nearly every year for the past 40 years. Organizing the festival is a yearlong job. Executive Director Brian Bowe, who is paid $140,630 a year, along with an assistant executive director and a part-time receptionist, are the only paid staff at Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, Inc. As with the Garlic Festival weekend itself, planning the event depends heavily on volunteers, who staff the board of directors along with various planning committees. With volunteer and paid staff together, the Garlic Festival brought in $3,119,746 in revenue last year, according to its annual 990 report to the Internal Revenue Service. With $2,750,975 in expenses, the festival had $368,771 excess revenue over expenditures in 2017. One of the most enduring hallmarks of the Garlic Festival is volunteerism. More than 4,000 volunteers are expected to donate their time working at the Garlic Festival this year, and aside from community spirit and fun, the festival’s volunteer equity program uses their hours worked to determine how much money is donated to the volunteers’ charity of choice. Last year, volunteers worked to
accumulate $271,901 in donations to various local charities. The Garlic Festival has come a long way since its founding in 1979. What started as a small-town weekend festival at Christmas Hill Park has ballooned to a food festival that draws over 100,000 to a town of approximately 55,000 people. Television, specifically the Food Network, and social media have been two of the engines that have driven the festival’s increase in notoriety in the last 10 years. “There has been an entire shift in what people do with their time and how they access information,” Bowe said. “When I started 12 years ago, there was so little social media. With social media, the event is much more accessible. It also helps us to hype everything up.” The big two revenue generators are ticket sales, $1,089,292, and sales at Gourmet Alley, $701,676. Raley's, Rabobank, Pepsi and Christopher Ranch are among 37 sponsors who paid the festival $209,650 in 2017. The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, Inc. would not disclose exact amounts of each sponsorship. The Gilroy Chamber of Commerce runs the three beer tents at the festival, taking in $141,798 last year. “The beer sales are 100 percent run by the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce, and it’s been that way since day one,” Bowe said. “We take about 10 percent of beer sales.” The Gilroy Chamber of Commerce has a twoyear contract with Bottomley Distributing Company to supply between 300 and 325 kegs of beer for the festival. After the contract expires following the close of the festival, the chamber will wait until the end of the year to receive bids. In addition to paying 10 percent of the sales to the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, the Chamber of Commerce has also agreed to pay a significant portion of the festival’s $126,523 bill for security. “We have contributed a larger sum beyond the 10

The chamber negotiated that agreement in good faith two years ago,” Gilroy Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Mark Turner said. The Chamber of Commerce has nine years remaining on its beer sales agreement with the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association. Parking and transportation are two of the biggest expenses for the Garlic Festival. The festival uses parking lots on private land near Gavilan College at Mesa Road and near Christopher High School on Day Road for parking, charging $10 a day, which brought in $184,451 last year compared to $178,946 in parking expenses. The small profit is minimal compared to the cost of transporting festival goers by bus, Storer Coachways out of Modesto, from parking to the festival, $357,894, the festival’s single largest expenditure.
Administrative costs, $333,055, and the cost of operating Gourmet Alley, $393,094, are two other large expenditures. A main draw of the Garlic Festival are the food and arts and crafts booths, which attendees can explore and savor; they brought in $141,798 in revenue to the festival in 2017. For-profit food booths cost the vendor $1,750 per 10 feet of booth frontage for the weekend while nonprofits pay $750 per 10 feet of booth frontage. Other fees for vendors include waste disposal costs: $50 minimum for grease, charcoal and other food prep waste; and $25 at the minimum for dirty water disposal. Other vendor expenses include $70 for liability insurance, $625 for liquor liability insurance, a $500 deposit for logo licensing, and a refundable $300 deposit. Art booths cost $750 for a 10-by-10-foot area, $1,000 for a
15-feet-by-10-feet space, and $1,350 for a 20-by 10-foot booth. Corner spaces cost an additional $200. Art booths pay a $500 logo licensing deposit and a $70 liability insurance fee. About 10 years ago, the Garlic Festival became more celebrity-centric when they were able to book Guy Fieri and the then up-and-coming country band Rascal Flatts. “We got really lucky to get Rascal Flatts at the beginning,” Bowe said. “A few months after the festival, their careers really rocketed. Now, we have some really big names like Giada De Laurentiis and Michael Symon. If you’re a foodie, you know who these people are.” “Christopher Ranch donates about $200,000, which pays for celebrities and also for general festival costs, said Bowe. “With all of the garlic they donate, it is an incredible relationship that’s been there since year one. With Don Christopher, it
has been a mutually beneficial, and having the that relationship with the family and the brand means everything to this event.” “The economic impact of the festival is significant not just here, but hotel rooms are packed in Morgan Hill and Hollister as well,” Bowe said. “RV campsites are full. Restaurants, gas stations and the outlets see a bump in sales. Beyond that, the Garlic Festival gives us publicity. There are so many destinations that are jealous of us, being a small town that has something like this.” There could be no Gilroy Garlic Festival without garlic. Christopher Ranch has it covered with 4,000 pounds of donated California garlic. “Every bite of garlic at the festival comes from us,” Ken Christopher said. Christopher Ranch has been there since the beginning, when Don Christopher was among the founding figures of the festival. The company’s involvement continues.

Victims: Stabbing was unprovoked Stabbing, 1 Judge Edward Lee set bail at $175,000 for each woman. More than a dozen friends and family members of Sanchez and Campos attended the July 11 hearing. They said the two women were acting in selfdefense when they ended up in a fight with three men outside a downtown Morgan Hill bar. Police reports of the incident describe a gruesome scene as officers responded to the area of Monterey Road and Third Street about 2:15 a.m. July 7. Officers followed trails of blood through downtown Morgan Hill as they attempted to piece together the details. The first victim was contacted by police in front a downtown restaurant, suffering from a stab wound to his groin area from which his intestines were protruding, according to police reports.

The suspects’ family members said outside the courtroom July 11 that one of the men stabbed Campos in the hand as she was defending herself. She was treated at a nearby hospital for the cut, according to police reports. A police report of the incident described the cut on Campos’ hand as “selfinflicted” in the process of stabbing another person. The police reports say one of the victims was so intoxicated that he couldn’t provide a coherent statement after the late-night July 7 fight. Another victim’s statement was described by an officer as “convoluted and confusing.” Officers gathered the victims’ and suspects’ bloody clothing, as well as the knife, as evidence. The reports also note that officers gathered security video footage from the bars and other businesses in the area where the July 7 incident occurred.
Child rapist sentenced to 34 years VICTIMS TELL HOW PAIN OF ABUSE LEFT ITS SCARS Michael Moore Editor
A Gilroy man was sentenced earlier this month to 34 years in prison for repeatedly sexually molesting two young girls over a 10-year period. Anthony Duran’s victims, now adults, said in court that the abuse deeply impacted their mental and physical health as they grew up questioning their self-worth, intentionally hurting themselves and at times even contemplating suicide. The victims, sisters who are now in their 20s, spoke at Duran’s July 6 sentencing hearing at the Morgan Hill Courthouse. Duran, 46, pleaded guilty Feb. 26 to two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child by force, violence, duress, menace or fear; one count of rape by force, violence, duress, menace or fear; and two counts of sodomy by use of force. Duran began molesting one of the girls when she was 5 years old, and the other when she was age 7, according to the victims’
stepmother. The sexual abuse continued for about 10 years. Duran knew the girls through his relationship with an adult female relative of theirs, whom he was dating at the time. The abuse took place in Gilroy hotel rooms rented by Duran for that purpose. Duran, who has been in custody in Santa Clara County Jail since his February 2017 arrest, sat still in the courtroom’s jury box while his victims tearfully read their statements describing the damage he inflicted on them. The women said the childhood abuse by Duran haunted them well into adulthood and plunged them into severe depression. Both victims said they resorted to harming themselves physically as a coping mechanism—with one cutting her wrist so badly that the bone was visible, almost resulting in her death. “I grew up thinking that somehow it was my fault, that I must have done something wrong to deserve this,” read the younger of the two victims in court July 6. “I didn’t deserve this; no one does. You made me feel ashamed of myself for years. I became depressed
to the point where it was dangerous. I couldn’t function like a normal person. I would cry day and night any time I was alone.” Over the years, even after Duran’s abuse stopped, this pain grew worse. “I had to figure out a way to make it stop. That’s when I started to selfharm,” she said. “I would either burn or cut myself. Burning myself didn’t bring me enough physical pain, so I stuck with cutting. … I’d rather deal with physical pain than emotional.” The woman also spoke directly to Duran: “Anthony, I didn’t destroy your life, you destroyed mine. I can never be normal. I can never be sane. I can never be not broken. There were countless times I wished you had killed me.” The Times is declining to name the victims, who sent written copies of their court statements to this newspaper. Several of the victims’ family members sat in court with them during Duran’s sentencing hearing. Santa Clara County Deputy Supervising District Attorney Vishal Bathija provided the following statement regarding Duran’s conviction and sentencing: “His crimes
include raping, sodomizing, and orally copulating a child. It is difficult to quantify a just and legal punishment for such vile acts.The 34-year prison sentence is designed to ensure he can never harm another child in our community and to provide closure to two brave young women who can continue to heal.”
‘I was only a child’
The second victim who spoke at Duran’s July 6 hearing told the court that he started sexually abusing her at age 7. “I was scared. I was confused. I was only 7,” she said. “I was only a child.” She added that she has recurring nightmares in which she is paralyzed with fear as “a shadow man” approaches until she wakes up screaming. She explained that even though she knew what Duran did to her was wrong, she was afraid to call police because his arrest might separate her from her siblings. The woman frequently questioned her self-worth long after the abuse ended. “I convinced myself I was worthless. I convinced myself I wasn’t worth helping. I started to question my existence,” she said.
HELP IS AVAILABLE Local nonprofit Community Solutions offers a variety of services and resources for survivors of sexual assault. These services include counseling, intervention, accompaniment to medical procedures and interviews with law enforcement, and legal advocacy. For more information and assistance, call the 24-hour help line at 1-877-3637238, or visit one of Community Solutions’ offices in Gilroy, Morgan Hill or Hollister. Office locations and other information can also be found on the nonprofit’s website, communitysolutions.org.
At age 16, she developed an “extreme hate toward myself and the world.” She described how she eventually started to harm herself, cutting her wrists to the point where the bone was exposed and she almost died, requiring emergency care at the hospital. She also starved herself: “I hated my body so much, I wanted to be so thin I couldn’t exist.” At age 20, she was diagnosed with bulimia. When she learned her sister also suffered similar abuse by Duran, her “mental health took another turn for the worst” as she blamed herself, and ceaselessly thought about things she could have done to prevent her sister’s victimization. She also directed her words at Duran toward the end of her statement:
“You are a coward. … You manipulated young girls for your own personal pleasure. … You made us believe what you did to us was OK. You made us believe we were worthless.” The woman closed with a promise to “let go” now that Duran faces punishment for his crimes. “I give myself the permission to live my life without being afraid to go to sleep. I give myself permission to live with depression and anxiety. Your sexual abuse is no longer my reality. I am free,” she said. Judge Javier Alcala praised the young women and their families for speaking out about Duran and how his abuse affected them. “It took a lot of guts. I really admire that,” Alcala said.
I didn’t deserve this; no one does. You made me feel ashamed of myself for years. I became depressed to the point where it was dangerous. I couldn’t function like a normal person. I would cry day and night any time I was alone. —VICTIM OF ANTHONY DURAN

The proposed project would include excavation and construction of a downstream earthen buttress, mining of rock from nearby borrow areas, raising the dam crest by approximately four feet, constructing a new intake structure, a new spillway and constructing new outlet facilities to the creek below the left dam abutment. The water district, acting as lead agency for the proposed project, has determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required to satisfy requirements cited in the California Environmental Quality Act. A draft EIR will evaluate the environmental conditions in and around the project area and analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with implementing the project. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) has been prepared and circulated to local, state and federal agencies responsible for project approval or permitting for a 30-day review period to define the scope and content of the draft EIR. Copies of the NOP are available for review from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Santa Clara Valley Water District Headquarters Building, 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118, starting July 18, 2018. The NOP can also be accessed online at: https://www.valleywater.org/project-updates/ public-review-documents. The water district will hold a scoping meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, 5750 Almaden Expressway, 95118, Administration Building, Conference Room B108.

RISE AND RUN The Gilroy Kids Triathlon is in its 10th year, and it continues to be one of the Gilroy Recreation Department’s most successful program. Kids from as far as Sacramento, and as near as Morgan Hill and Hollister, came to participate in the triathlon.
Triathletes in all sizes
COMPETITION STARTS AT 5 YEAROLDS, AT REGIONAL ATTRACTION Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Robert Eliason
Early in the morning last Saturday, while many area kids were either in bed, eating, watching television or settling in for a long day of video games, more than 100 young area triathletes were up and ready for action. It was the 10th annual Gilroy Kids Triathlon at Christopher High School, and the number of participants, over 125, beat expectations, again making the triathlon one of the Gilroy Recreation Department's most popular events. “We have little triathletes come from as far as Sacramento,” said Gilroy Recreation Department Director Maria De Leon. “We have people from Morgan Hill and Hollister as well, and we welcome that.” The Gilroy Kids Triathlon, for ages 5-13, has three main events: swimming, running and an obstacle course. The latter features some familiar obstacles like the tire run, balance beam and jump boxes. A few others are more like basic army training: the spider crawls, where the kids crawl under a net for about 10 yards, and a climbing wall. Or, something just for fun, such as the inflatable slide roughly 10 yards away from the finish line. At the finish line, where every kid gets a medal, Gilroy City Councilwoman Marie Blankley was there to hand out gold medals and praise. "It's a super fun event, the kids look great, the weather is beautiful," Blankley said. "It's super important that kids stay active. This is definitely an event to be promoted, and I hope kids are taking advantage of opportunities like our Gilroy Gators swim team or some of our running
clubs. Anything to stay active; there is no substitute for it." The length of the swim and the run depends on the age of the kids. Eleven- to 13-year-olds swim 100 meters and run a mile; 9- and 10-year-olds swim 75 meters and run three-quarters of a mile; 7- and 8-year-olds swim 50 meters and run a half-mile; and the youngest kids, ages 5-6, swim 25 meters and run one lap. At the Gilroy Kids Triathlon Saturday, nobody kept score, unless perhaps you finished first, like Liam Rutigliano. "Probably the balance beam was the hardest," said Rutigliano, 9, a student at Gilroy Preparatory School. Liam’s parents, Luca and Luba Rutigliano, were there at the finish line waiting for their kids. Liam, unlike a few kids who took extra turns going down the slide, didn't take any breaks along his way to the finish line. “We’re a pretty sporty family,” said Liam's father. The Rutiglianos are indeed sporty. Their oldest daughter, Lulani, 11, was also finished first in her age group at the triathlon. “We’re very proud that the city puts this together and brings the community together. We see a lot of friends here,” said Luba Rutigliano. (Liam is) very competitive; that’s part of his nature. He's a second child, but he always wants to beat his sister.” For the rest, however, how they finished was far less important than how they felt at the end: tired but happy. “Fun, but very tiring,” Adrianna Van Derzwaag, 10, said after the triathlon. “I was trying to beat one girl on the obstacle course.” For parents, the triathlon was a way to get their kids up and active in the morning. Introducing them to some community spirit was a bonus. "I think it’s cute and great, it’s an opportunity for these kids to get healthy and get some of
KEEPING BALANCE Abby Gemar, daughter of Gilroy High School’s field hockey coach Adam Gemar, and Alex Cabrera keep their balance on the balancing beam. that competitive feeling as well as being part of the community,” said Adrianna's father, Gilroy resident Tom Van Derzwaag. A mixture of volunteers and city staff were on hand to manage the event. Local high school students, some who served as lifeguards, earned credit toward their community service hours on Saturday.
“It’s awesome,” said Zach Hilton, chairman of the Gilroy Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission, whose daughter Avery was competing in the triathlon. “It brings out local kids and shows them what the high school looks like. It gets them experience running, and doing some obstacle courses, the good feeling of competing with other
kids early in the morning. It also shows how good it is to get physical activity finished early in the morning. It’s everything our community needs." Avery was of another viewpoint. “Not really,” she said when asked if she agreed that it was best to finish exercise early in the morning.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: We request certified funds at sale be payable directly to SEASIDE TRUSTEE INC. to avoid delays in issuing the final deed. 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 Sale line or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case 1406956CA. 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. Date: 07/03/2018 Seaside Trustee Inc. J.
