TEACHERS AND DISTRICT STILL AT IMPASSE OVER PAY AND INSURANCE Scott Forstner Reporter

If a new contract agreement cannot be reached over the summer months, Gilroy teachers have voted to strike at the start of the 2018-19 school year.

In a June 6 vote of 544 Gilroy Teachers Association members, the union reported that 84 percent were in favor of strike authorization until the union’s demands are met.

The GTA “authorized a strike action in the event that the fact-finding phase of negotiations does not yield an acceptable agreement,” according to a June 11 announcement.

“If a strike occurs, it will likely take place shortly after the start of the 201819 school year.”

The first day of student instruction is scheduled for Aug. 16 at the eight elementary, three middle and four high schools in the Gilroy Unified School District.

New plans for Hecker Pass stir opposition Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The Hecker Pass Corridor is the western gateway to Gilroy—a passageway connecting Gilroy and Santa Cruz County that features both natural beauty and commercial potential.

These twin features of CA 152 define the latest frontline pitting

neighborhoods against business developers, and these were in the spotlight at this month’s Gilroy Planning Commission meeting.

After a raucous debate on June 7, the commission deadlocked over the latest Hecker Pass development proposal.

The commission’s inconclusive 3-3 tie meant the new plan will likely be decided by the Gilroy City Council.

The latest issue is a proposed development spearheaded by developer Skip Spiering.

The development, on six acres

between Lone Oak Lane and Hecker Pass Highway, would be a mixed-use, residential/commercial development that features three buildings with 32,758 square feet of commercial space.

The plan calls for a winery, restaurants, a deli, a wine shop and 22 live/work apartments designed to include workspace along with living quarters. The project would have 178 parking spots for customers and 39 for the residential units.

After four hours of debate, impassioned pleas from Gilroy citizens opposed to the

development, and those in favor, including Spiering and members of Gilroy's business community, commissioners Tom Fischer, Rebeca Armendariz and Sam Kim voted to reject the proposal, while Steve Ashford, Casey Estorga and Rebecca Scheel voted for the project to proceed.

Since the Planning Commision cannot issue binding decisions, the tie vote meant that the commission gave the council no recommendation as to how to proceed. ➝ Hecker Pass, 15

Firefighters contained a grass fire near the San Martin Airport on June 11 before it could spread to a nearby animal shelter Monday afternoon, according to authorities.

The quick response to the small wildfire capped a busy and tragic week for CalFire and regional volunteers who battled as many as a half-dozen fires at one point last week.

while they hurried to rescue some of the animals housed at the county facility, Crawford added.

No firefighters were injured.

The largest fire of the new wildfire season consumed more than 1,300 acres of grassland in San Benito County at Coalinga Road and Airline Highway.

A few miles away, at the same time, the “Eastern Fire” off Coalinga Road east of Bitterwater, consumed 513 acres as high winds keep it alive for three days.

Firefighters quick action also doused a 35-acre grass fire at the eastern edge of Hollister on June 3.

Barbecue seen as likely source of fatal wildfire MOTHER, SON, DAUGHTER DIED IN JUNE 4 PANOCHE FIRE Michael Moore Reporter

Local Specialties

About 2:15pm on June 11, CalFire received a call reporting a fire on the southbound side of U.S. 101, opposite the northbound CHP scales, according to Battalion Chief Jim Crawford.

When crews arrived, they determined the fire was burning vegetation on the county airport property, spreading south toward the animal shelter located at 12370 Murphy Ave. Crews were able to do structure protection on the animal shelter—no damage there,” Crawford said.

Some employees of the animal shelter suffered minor injuries

A 27-year-old mother frantically tried to save her two small children when an errant barbecue fire spread out of her control and into the family’s camping trailer, quickly engulfing the surrounding property on Panoche Road June 4, according to the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office’s initial investigation.

Their burned bodies were found by firefighters who responded to the Panoche fire, which ultimately burned about 64 acres of vegetation, according to authorities.

Sheriff’s Capt. Eric Taylor said the mother, as well as her 3-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter, died in the blaze north of San Benito. The unincorporated town of San Benito is about 30 miles southeast of Hollister, and just on the east side of Pinnacles National Park.

The mother’s boyfriend—the father of the infant who died in the fire—had been out shopping for supplies and was returning to the camping trailer at the time of the fire, Taylor added.

“We’re pretty confident he was about 40 minutes away from the residence when the fire started,” Taylor said. He stressed that sheriff’s staff “are not fire investigators,” and the official cause of the fire and other circumstances surrounding the incident

are being investigated by CalFire. That investigation is ongoing.

“Our role in this matter is to determine cause of death, and to determine if a criminal act may have occurred that lead to that death,” Taylor wrote in a June 8 press release updating the public about the incident. As of now, law enforcement officials do not think the fire or deaths resulted from any criminal activity.

The sheriff ’s office, also acting as the county coroner’s office, is awaiting the medical examiner’s confirmation of the victims’ identities before releasing their names.

The family was living on the property, where they had moved from Gilroy in recent weeks, Taylor added.

Based on statements from neighbors and the woman’s boyfriend, they had been living in two camping trailers on the private property for about one month, Taylor said.

They were renting the space where the trailers were parked from the property owner. The other trailer did not burn.

Although CalFire officials are in charge of investigating and determining the cause of the Panoche fire, sheriff’s deputies think they have pieced together some of the events leading up to the deaths from witness statements and the firefighters’ initial assessment.

Taylor said shortly after CalFire discovered the bodies and called the sheriff’s office at about 10:30pm on June 4, the

firefighters pointed out a “tipped-over” Weber-style barbecue grill next to the burned camping trailer.

“They said that was the hottest area,” Taylor said, suggesting that’s where the blaze started.

A neighbor told deputies that just before the fire started, they saw the woman frantically walking around the trailer, then heard her screaming moments later, Taylor said.

Her boyfriend later told authorities that she called him on his cell phone while he was out shopping, and told him there was a fire in the trailer.

“We believe she tried to put the fire out, the trailer caught on fire, she went inside to try to save the kids, and they all got trapped in there,” Taylor said.

The woman’s boyfriend also told investigators that he had been cooking on the outdoor barbecue grill earlier that day. The fire possibly started by accident when he set a piece of wood on the ground that he had used to stoke the fire, or the hot grill had somehow tipped over, Taylor said.

“At this point, until we get the investigation back from CalFire, we’re not looking at any type of foul play,” Taylor said. “It was just an accident, and we’re not looking at the boyfriend as a suspect … It looks like this was a tragedy and not a criminal act.”

Taylor added that sheriff’s investigators are “confident” of the boyfriend’s whereabouts at the time of the deaths. They have also confirmed that the woman called his cell as the fire was starting.

End of May big payday for ranchers WORLDWIDE DEMAND FOR BEEF KEEPS RANCHES IN BUSINESS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

It’s an annual process that ranchers have repeated, in differing ways, since the Spanish rancheros established land grants in the 1700s. At the Fields Ranch, the end of May is payday. This year the rate is about $1.55 a pound, or about $1,007 a head at the video auction. Of course, when your payday comes once a year, you need to be able to budget well.

“I brought in our check to the bank, and while I waited the bank manager came out to ask us about investing our money,” Arleah Fields said. “When I told him that was our paycheck for the year, he was like ‘Oh, wow.’ ” The video market has modernized the old school auction. Via a satellite link, faraway buyers bid for whole truckloads of preloaded cattle by video.

The prospective buyers are given necessary information like weight, breeds and vaccination background to bid on truckloads of cattle weighing close to 50,000 pounds.

“You need to budget everything,” Fields said.

“The biggest expense is leasing land, which can range from $10 to $20 per acre, or by a per head per month basis which is between $15 to $20 depending on which agency you deal with.

When you pay for a mother cow, you are paying for the calf as well.”

On average it takes 10 acres of property to support a cow for one year, depending on the land.

Aside from the calving season in the fall, cattle

Bryce Stoepfel

From San Jose south down U.S. 101, most folks who live in the valley have little idea what happens in the hills that surround them.

The rolling hills are full of life, though, and the cattle industry practiced since the Spanish vaqueros still thrives.

Mostly unseen, the work done on surrounding cattle ranches shows up on our dinner plates and through the veins of the regional agricultural economy—13,300 head in Santa Clara County, according to the 2016 USDA Agricultural Census.

One of those ranchers is Justin Fields, president of the Santa Clara County Cattlemen’s Association, who works alongside his wife, Arleah Fields, and daughters Jenna,17, a recent graduate of Sobrato High School who’s heading to Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo in the fall, and Jodi,13, to ranch almost 500 head of cattle. Fields is tall, with blue eyes and a neat pushbroom mustache, and he’s a real-life cowboy, with the chaps, spurs, rodeo belts and family heritage to prove it. Still, when he comes to town to pick up his daughter from school, people often can’t understand what he does.

“They are so removed from the land, they don’t know where their food comes from,” Fields, 46, said. “They don’t realize that their food is actually being produced here.”

The Fields’ ranch is one of the few remaining family-owned cattle ranches in Santa Clara County. The Fieldses own 700 acres of prime grassland in the rolling hills of Coyote Valley, just south of San Jose. To accommodate almost 500 head of cattle, they lease an additional 7,000 acres, much of it on public lands administered by the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority.

“In this area, there aren’t many family-owned ranches,” Fields said. “It’s rare that a rancher owns enough property where they don’t need to lease more acreage to run their cows.”

The end of May is the culmination of a year’s worth of work, this year the final send-off for 32 cows and 14 calves— Herefords and Angus— which Fields loaded into the back of a semitrailer to be sent to auction. He had some help.

With fellow rancher Pierre Paquelier, and Arleah on horseback, they led the cattle through a chute. As the team loaded the cattle, mother cows bellowed for recently weaned and now separated calves.

“They’re still looking for their calves; they’re agitated, mooing and bawling,” Fields said. “It’s kind of sad, but it happens every year. That’s the annual cycle.”

HOME ON THE RANGE Rancher Justin Fields rides with his cattle, driving them onto summer pastures. can take care of themselves while out on the ranch. Still, the Fieldses ride their land looking for potential trouble, like a sick cow, or they check on water and fences. They also work to rotate grazing land, especially during the winter and spring when the grass is still growing.

In this case, the cows act as lawn mowers.

The market for beef is bullish. In January, Bloomberg reported that in 2018 the average American is expected to eat 222.2 pounds of red meat and poultry, and that domestic beef production will exceed 100 billion pounds.

In the international market, U.S. beef producers exported over $7 billion in beef products, with Japan as the largest consumer at $1.9 billion. The Chinese marketplace, which had been cut off since 2003, was reopened in last year after the U.S.-China Comprehensive Economic Dialogue in June.

Among the challenges of running a cattle ranch, the weather is always a big one. While the Fieldses have a few water wells operated by solar-powered pumps, most of the water they use is spring water. However, during the worst parts of the

drought that ended in the winter of 2016, water from the city of San Jose proved invaluable.

The Fields Ranch is the definition of a familyowned and -operated outfit. Justin, Arleah, their two daughters, nine horses and a team of cattle dogs make the operation work. There is also a strong sense of community among ranchers, where a handshake is still bonding. On June 1, fellow rancher Paquelier was there to help, and Fields will return the favor in kind. When the margins are so razor thin, the community helps family farms survive.

GUEST VIEW LAUREL ROSENHALL AND MATT LEVIN

High rollers were primary investors

H

ere’s a sampling of a few of the players who spent big to influence your vote—the self-funders, the billionaire advocates, the unions and the

corporations: Angelo Tsakopoulos, a Sacramento developer and longtime donor to Democratic candidates, dug deep to help his daughter, Eleni Kounalakis, in her bid to become California’s next lieutenant governor. He’s the largest donor to an independent committee working to elect Kounalakis, giving almost $5 million as of May 30. His largesse has become a source of criticism from her Democratic opponents.

John Cox, the wealthy San Diego-area businessman and Republican candidate for governor, was the latest in a string of GOP candidates to run for California’s highest office using their own fortunes. It did the trick for movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2003, but hasn’t worked since. “The history of self-funders in this state is not good,” Cox acknowledged in an interview with CALmatters. But he said he jump-started his campaign funding in hopes “that the people of this state will respond because they want to see a positive change.”

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings donated more than $13 million to Democrats Antonio Villaraigosa for governor and Marshall Tuck for state schools superintendent, as well as to various legislative races.

than 20 years, he’s pushed changes to public education, served on the State Education Board and helped craft a 1998 deal allowing more charter schools in California. Because charters are public schools exempted from many of the rules governing traditional schools and mostly hire nonunion teachers, he’s often at odds with the state’s teachers unions.

Hastings gave $7 million to an independent committee backing Villaraigosa for governor, making him the group’s largest donor. He has also given about $3.4 million to a committee run by the charter schools association, which is spending heavily in legislative and school board races, and donated $14,600 to Tuck’s campaign.

‘Trust your instincts, close your eyes’

By Sloane Pace Gilroy High School

This is no ordinary Thursday. Tonight is the start of the rest of our lives.

I found writing this speech to be an incredibly daunting task. I have put in all of my sanity and hours and hours of work to stand here and talk to you all, so I must have something I want to say—but how can I possibly string together the words to tell this story? One night I was deep in thought and a lyric from “Hamilton” came to mind. “I wish I could just build palaces out of paragraphs.” And there was my ‘aha’ moment. A musical!

These past four years we have all been living our own high school musical.

The curtain opened to the first act of our high school years way back in 2014. We were naive and inexperienced, but we soon were allied with compassionate faculty

on campus who showed us the ropes. Mr. Leong was one of the first smiling faces we were greeted by and his kindness never dimmed from that moment on. Teachers like Ms. Lee and Ms. Williams introduced us to the new worlds of biology and Shakespeare while we got settled in, while we dove in head first with teachers like Mr. Chavez with heart dissections and career exploration. We said ‘hola’ and ‘bonjour’ to chemistry experiments and badminton. As our first two years continued, we adjusted to the workload and got through the day with the help of Mr. Matt’s so called “stay-awake juice” and pals like Ms. Walker’s gekko, Nori.

During Act 2 is when we were really tested and pushed to our limits. Some of us thought we were living the hard-knock life as underclassmen, but we were soon let in on a little secret—the “best” was yet to come. We juggled

AP classes, the SAT, more homework than thought possible. We slayed the beast that was the personal statement and college applications. Ms. Pham was brave enough to teach us calculus and, though she instilled fear in us, it was her way of believing in our potential to succeed, and we did. Those of us who dared step into Room C-13 and look beyond the Trojan-covered walls found ourselves a bit overwhelmed by Spun and her expectations, but we were to able to navigate through piles of color plates and cat dissections. She forced us to think beyond the surface and challenged preconceived notions of our knowledge.

Our government teachers guided us through the Constitution to shape us into informed citizens and then did a quick costume change to teach us about supply and demand. At some point we all got a bit of a break to take

a fine art, whether it was singing, dancing, painting, or photography, we all got a chance to try something new.

I want to thank Mr. Souza for persuading me to join choir and reminding me how much more enjoyable life can be if you let out your heart’s inner song.

We cheered on our football team all the way to a CCS victory, we built fantastic homecoming floats and a Mike Wazowski that will stay in the ASB office forever, and we danced our hearts out at prom.

Golf carts were stolen, balance beam stick fights were won, seven was said, and sometimes those people on the announcements broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

Now, as we take our final bow, we can look back on our memories and reminisce about all we know.

But if we step into the

marches in for the ceremony leading her fellow graduates.

sun to look down the path ahead of us, there’s still so much learning to be done.

My fellow peers, it’s time to trust your instincts, close your eyes and leap.

Go defy gravity, and work to be satisfied. Go find

your purpose and know, wherever you go, you will be found. Excerpted from the June 7 speech by Sloane Pace, valedictorian, Class of 2018. Full text, plus salutatorian speech

Grads receive ‘gifts of opportunity’ EXCERPTS FROM HER CLASS OF 2018 VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH Jennie Kim

Christopher High School

In what seems like a lifetime ago, we all walked onto this campus for the first time, some of us having heard snippets of rumors about this school from our older brothers and sisters, and some of us knowing nothing at all. But regardless of the things we did and didn’t know, all we could talk about, all we could dream about, was our graduation day. As tiny freshmen, four years never seemed so long. The word “senioritis,” which we all loved to spout repeatedly, became stuck to our tongues. But now, we all sit here with a bittersweet feeling in our stomachs, prepared to walk onto the stage and receive a ticket to the beginning of our adulthood.

There’s a quote on one of the walls in our gym from [famed runner] Steve Prefontaine that says, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” To many, this quote may be some ambiguous cliché, applied too often in inapplicable situations.

But we are in an uncommonly profound moment where we truly are receiving a gift—of opportunity.

This next year will be filled with new experiences and unprecedented decisions we will have the privilege of making. I know that many of us are,

Jennie Kim or at the very least I am, afraid of making a mistake, choosing the wrong path, or being forced to face our own failures. And we would be crazy not to be. But this uncertainty is simply a chance for us to grasp that blank page we’ve been presented and fill it with our own story.

My mother used to always say that if you’re trying your best, even if you don’t receive the result that you wanted, you won’t ever regret the process.

So let’s pick up our pens and write with the vigor that Shakespeare must have had in his prime playwriting years. Let’s use the persistence and dedication we have within us to continue to push us to set new personal landmarks.

The simple fact that we are all sitting here today is evidence of the success we’ve set ourselves up for. So receive this fleeting gift with open arms, and remember we all have potential within us; how we choose to use it will determine our futures.

Class of 2018, congratulations, enjoy the fruits of your accomplishments, and best of luck in your future endeavors.

ALL SMILES Christopher High School graduates Savannah Yawary and Gisselle Cisneros

are overjoyed after the June 8 graduation.

Military dad surprises stepdaughter AF SGT. JARED RUSTMAN FLEW FROM BAHRAIN FOR SURPRISE AT S. VALLEY Staff report

Kenny Wong

One South Valley Middle School student, along with her entire family, got a welcome surprise June 6 as she was being recognized at the eighth-grade promotion ceremony held on the Gilroy High School campus.

As student Angelina Zuno was making her way through congratulations from school and district staff on stage the Wednesday ceremony, there was one last person waiting for her. It was her stepfather Jared Rustman, an active duty staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force who had returned from his deployment in the Middle East to surprise her.

Rustman arrived on campus prior to the June 6 ceremony and was hidden and transported to the D-wing until it was

Zuno’s turn on stage. He made his way down to the receiving line of GUSD dignitaries that included Supt. Deborah Flores, South Valley Middle School Principal Patricia Mondragon, Gilroy High School Principal Marco Sanchez, Christopher High School Assistant Principal Julie Berggren and school board members.

When Zuno was awarded her certificate of promotion, Rustman was

the last one to greet her in line, and the crowd erupted in applause. Mondragon made some remarks to all the attendees about the surprise and thanked Rustman for his service to our country, according to district staff.

Rustman, who flew in from Bahrain on leave to be at the ceremony, is back on duty this week.

He had planned the special moment with school site staff and surprised the entire family.

SUMMARY On June 1, 2018, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed its 2019 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Forecast Application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to change rates for the following: • Recovery of $2.7 billion in costs related to the fuel needed to produce electricity as well as costs of buying energy from third parties • Setting certain charges for departing load customers, including the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), Ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC) and Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM) • Return of $314 million to eligible customers for the sale of GHG emission allowances (including the California Climate Credit for residential customers) Exact amounts are subject to change and CPUC regulatory approval. PG&E will provide the CPUC with updated amounts later in the year to ensure the most current information is used to set customer rates.

BACKGROUND The ERRA is used to record fuel and purchased power costs which can be recovered in rates. While this may result in a change in rates, PG&E recovers these costs with no markup for return or profit. The purpose of this application is to forecast costs of obtaining energy for customers and also to approve the amount to be returned to customers from the sale of GHG emission allowances for the calendar year of 2019. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover its costs in electric rates effective January 1, 2019.

At the end of 2019, PG&E will compare actual costs to the amounts forecasted in this application and will incorporate any differences in next year’s application.

HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT ME? Most customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. A summary of the rate impact by customer class was provided in the original bill insert sent to customers in June and July.

Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential Non-CARE customer using 500 kWh per month would decrease from $111.59 to $106.43 or 4.6 percent. Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage. Twice a year, in April and October, eligible residential customers will also receive a California Climate Credit in the amount of approximately $29.15. The annual credit amount will be approximately $58.30.

HOW WILL PG&E’S APPLICATION AFFECT NON-BUNDLED CUSTOMERS? Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. PG&E does not purchase energy for these customers. However, this application addresses the cost of transporting energy for these customers through PG&E’s electrical system using the PCIA, CTC and CAM. Residential DA/CCA customers also receive the benefit of the California Climate Credit. In addition, eligible non-residential DA and CCA customers receive the benefit of the GHG allowance returns. The impact of PG&E’s application on these customers is an average increase of 2.0 percent.

Another category of non-bundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision, including the PCIA, CTC and CAM. The impact of PG&E’s application on these customers is an average decrease of 2.3 percent.

HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT PG&E’S PROPOSALS? If you have questions about PG&E’s filing, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. For TTY, call 1-800-652-4712.

If you would like a copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits, please write to PG&E at the address below: Pacific Gas and Electric Company 2019 ERRA Forecast Application (A.18-06-001) P.O. Box 7442 San Francisco, CA 94120 A copy of PG&E’s filing and exhibits is also available for review at the CPUC’s Central Files Office by appointment only. For more information, contact aljcentralfilesid@cpuc.ca.gov or 1-415-703-2045.

PG&E’s application (without exhibits) is available on the CPUC’s website at www.cpuc.ca.gov.

CPUC PROCESS This application will be assigned to an Administrative Law Judge (Judge) who will determine how to receive evidence and other related documents necessary for the CPUC to establish a record upon which to base its decision. Evidentiary hearings may be held where parties will present their testimony and may be subject to cross-examination by other parties. These evidentiary hearings are open to the public, but only those who are formal parties in the case can participate.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the hearings, the assigned Judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt PG&E’s proposal, modify it or deny it. Any of the five CPUC Commissioners may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon at a scheduled CPUC Voting Meeting.

The Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) may review this application. ORA is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a legislative mandate to represent investor-owned utility customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. ORA has a multi-disciplinary staff with expertise in economics, finance, accounting and engineering. For more information about ORA, please call 1-415-703-1584, email ora@cpuc.ca.gov or visit ORA’s website at www.ora.ca.gov.

STAY INFORMED If you would like to follow this proceeding, or any other issue before the CPUC, you may use the CPUC’s free subscription service. Sign up at: http://subscribecpuc.cpuc.ca.gov/. If you would like to learn how you can participate in the proceeding, have informal comments about the application, or have questions about the CPUC processes, you may access the CPUC’s Public Advisor Office (PAO) webpage at http://consumers.cpuc.ca.gov/pao/.

You may also contact the PAO as follows: Email: public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov Mail: CPUC Public Advisor’s Office 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 Call: 1-866-849-8390 (toll-free) or 1-415-703-2074 TTY: 1-866-836-7825 (toll-free) or 1-415-703-5282 If you are writing or emailing the PAO, please include the proceeding number (2019 ERRA Forecast Application; A.18-06-001). All comments will be circulated to the Commissioners, the assigned Judge and appropriate CPUC staff and will become public record.

GILROY DISPATCH

Teachers say pay increases turnover Teacher strike, 1

The district’s “certificated,” or teaching, staff is asking for a 6 percent pay raise and for the district to contribute an additional 5 percent for health benefits.

“Because we are one of the lowest-paid districts in Santa Clara (County), GUSD struggles to hire and retain teachers,” the union’s release states.

“This is bad for students.”

According the GTA statistics, 78 teachers (nearly 14 percent of union members) have resigned since the start of the 2017-18 school year, a pattern that has remained consistent over at least the last three school years.

The district’s offer remains a 2 percent pay increase and no additional

contribution to the health care package. Officials have detailed that anything more would zap their reserves, according to documentation on gusd. k12.ca.us.

GUSD’s starting salary for a first-year teacher is set at $50,743, according to edjoin.org, the education recruiter site used by California school districts.

Other nearby local school districts with higher starting salaries, include Morgan Hill Unified School ($54,989), San Jose Unified ($54,958) and East Side High School District ($55,349). At both San Jose Unified and East Side, full-time employees pay no out-of-pocket premiums for health benefits.

“GTA is hopeful that

a strike can be averted,” the press release concludes. “GTA believes that the GUSD school board is ready to push administration to make changes in its spending that will allow for an improved salary and benefits package.”

Gilroy teachers and supporters have picketed prior to the last two school board meetings as well as at their respective school sites before the start of each school day since the negotiations stalled.

California Teachers Association President Eric Heins sent a June 2 video message to GTA members regarding their contract situation.

“When you’re asking for a salary increase, when you’re asking for the

File photo

in the district since August 1999, said this is the first time he recalls the union taking a strike authorization vote. However, this is at least the fourth time an impasse between teachers and the district has been called in more than a decade.

The GTA, whose members have worked without a contract since the previous one expired in June 2017, and district leaders have been in an impasse in contract negotiations since failing to reach a compromise by the end of March. The two sides continue to be engaged in a “fact-finding process” through the state’s Public Employee Relations board, after attempts to reach a settlement through mediation failed.

TEACHER PROTESTS Gilroy Unified School District

teachers with signs have been a regular presence at school board meetings this spring.

district of Gilroy to make teachers a priority, you’re doing it for the students, to attract and retain the best and brightest for your

kids,” Heins said. “It’s time that the district in Gilroy makes you a priority because you make the students of Gilroy a priority.”

Opponents urge city to stick to plan Hecker Pass, 1 Spiering often had his name drawn through the mud, both by attendees and by Commissioner Sam Kim. Kim, who lives near the proposed development, pulled no punches, much to the delight of the audience.

“I am concerned that the applicant won’t compromise or make accommodations,” Kim said. “I found the (applicant’s) approach and attitude to be condescending, hostile and punitive.”

Spiering defended his project, saying it completely fulfilled the requirements set forth by the city’s approved Hecker Pass Specific Plan.

“We have worked for two years to come up with something that meets the goals of the plan’s guidelines, and I feel that we have done that,” Spiering said. “You can disagree, but based on what we have here, we’re not going to change the size or location of the buildings. We feel we have come up with a plan that works and fits in.”

Kim gripped tight on the term “mom-and-pop shop,” found in the Hecker Pass Specific Plan, which offers guidelines to acceptable agri-tourist commercial projects.

“The Hecker Pass Specific Plan says

mom-and-pop shop and small coffeehouse,” Kim said. “I wonder how this (project) is consistent with the plan.”

The plan states that agri-tourist zones include small-scale commercial uses serving residents and consumers. “Examples of such local-serving uses include but are not limited to a delicatessen, ‘momand-pop’ grocery market, cafe, bistro, or small coffeehouse,” the plan reads.

Spiering’s project did comply with the letter of the Hecker Pass Specific Plan, but the feeling expressed by much of the audience was that it did

not fit with the spirit of the plan. City staff, along with Spiering, developer Chris Vanni, and commissioner Estorga maintained that the development adhered to the precepts of the Hecker Pass Specific Plan.

Commision chair Fischer agreed but did not decide that the project fit the spirit of the plan initially conceived in 2005.

Slow-growth advocate Connie Rogers is leading the charge against the development. Rogers is the chairwoman of Gilroy Growing Smarter and a former Gilroy councilmember, planning commissioner, and parks and recreation commissioner.

Gilroy Growing Smarter played a crucial role in passing Measure H, which established a growth boundary around Gilroy. Measure H scuttled plans for a large scale 721-acre, 4,000-unit development on the city’s north end.

“I am very passionate about the plan and its goals,” Rogers said. “The theme was agriculture, and low-density uses to capitalize on tourism, and developments should reflect that, and this project does not meet those goals.”

The Planning Commission did approve a 22.44-acre, 72-unit subdivision directly east of

the Gilroy Municipal Golf Course. The North Hecker Pass Residential Cluster is a continuation of the ongoing new home construction that continually inches west. The highway entrance for the golf course will be eliminated and replaced with a roundabout in the new neighborhood.

Hecker Pass Highway will also get roadway facelift. To help accommodate the new additions, the Planning Commision approved a roundabout where Hecker Pass Highway, Third Street and Autumn Drive meet at the new outlet for the North Hecker Pass Corridor.

Going High HE CAN FLY Recent Gilroy High graduate Logan Flores took seventh place in the pole vault in the CIF State Championships on June 2. Flores cleared 15 feet, 4 inches, the third best mark of his burgeoning career. Flores has an athletic and academic scholarship to UC Santa Barbara.

GILROY GRADUATE LOGAN FLORES ON HIS WAY TO UC SANTA BARBARA emanuel lee Sports Editor

happened when Flores nailed his PR at the CCS Top 8 Meet. Flores texted the mark to Marlow, who initially said, “talk is talk” after Flores said he would clear 16 feet, which proved prescient.

“Once I texted him, I think it surprised him because he took two days to respond,” Flores said. “He said congrats and that I was a man of my word about clearing the height I said I would clear. That is when they offered.”

In his interactions with Marlow, Flores said the Gauchos’ assistant coach remarked how Flores did well in less than ideal vaulting conditions, his consistency and that “I exemplified a student-athlete.” Indeed, Flores’ 4.2 GPA is proof that he took academics as seriously as he did athletics.

Joe Miyoshi, who coaches Flores and is a renowned pole vaulting coach based out of Soquel High and the Santa Cruz Track Club, said Flores’ best attribute is his ability to take in information and implement that into his vaults.

Hearing, doing

“Most of improving is exercising the most important muscles—your right and left ear,” Miyoshi said. “Are you listening, are you hearing? If you’re a good listener, you’ll probably be a good pole vaulter. Logan was really great—probably the best boys pole vaulter I’ve had in 20-something years. You can tell him something and he was, ‘OK, I’ll do that, I’ll try that.’ He had an open mind and was willing to learn. He took risks without blinking an eye, and of course we didn’t put too much how would you say danger right away—he earned his way to that point. He answered the bell every time it rang in terms of learning a new drill and application.”

Miyoshi, who started working with Flores two years ago, said the recent Gilroy High graduate has all of the intangibles to do well at the Division I level.

“Logan is really good in pressure situations,” Miyoshi said.

“When I started working with him, he really took it seriously and knew it was crunch time for him hoping to get some knocks on the doors from colleges. I want to say you have to be obsessed in a healthy way (to

With a seventh-place finish in the 2018 CIF State Championships, Logan Flores will go down as one of the greatest track and field athletes in Gilroy High history.

Flores, who graduated Friday, cleared 15 feet, 4 inches, the third best mark of his burgeoning career.

“I enjoyed the moment, and it was a great experience overall,” he said. “The fans were really involved and engaged, and there were a lot of oohs and ahs and clapping for all the competitors.

I had a big support system there: my whole family, my cousin’s family, aunts and uncles. There were probably 12 to 15 people along with my coaches, too.”

The CIF State Championships featured a preliminary round on June 1 and the finals the next day. Flores sailed through the preliminary round, which actually surprised him. Flores said he was exhausted leading up to the event; in fact, Flores was so tired he actually took a nap on the field before his name was called to vault.

“I was getting enough sleep but waking up in the morning exhausted,” he said. “I’d come home from school and go to sleep again, and it stressed me out that my body needed to take naps after school because I usually don’t take naps. Going into the competition I was not anxious at all because I was too exhausted to be nervous. I put my chair down and took a nap on the field before it was my turn in the competition, and I enjoyed it.”

Flores, who will be attending UC Santa Barbara on an athletic and academic scholarship— he had a superb 4.2 GPA at Gilroy High—produced a solid mark at state despite not being at his best. In the finals, Flores cleared 14-10 and 15-4 on his second attempt before getting three cracks at 15-10, which he has cleared once when he nailed a spectacular personal-record (PR) of 16-1 ½ in the CCS Top 8 Meet on April 21.

Flores said he didn’t really come close to clearing 15-10, and that was OK by him. Sure, Flores wanted to clear it, but he knew that would have to come on another day.

“I don’t think I had it that day,” he said. “I wasn’t able to follow through like I normally do, and I couldn’t get enough out of my jumps and get enough pull to get over the bar.”

Flores had an epiphany of sorts once the competition was over. Usually when his season ends, Flores immediately looks ahead to the next season and thinks about making changes to improve. It’s just in his nature.

This time, however, Flores did a lot of reflection in a season in which he cleared 15 feet nine times in competition, a huge improvement from the 2017 season in which his PR was 14-6.

“After I finished, I was happy and sad with a lot of mixed emotions,” he said. “I was very excited to have the season over with and take a nice little break and reflect on what I’ve done and just enjoying the moment. I reflected on the past experiences and the new friends I’ve made who I am still interacting with.

I’m not too concerned about next year, which is something I’ve done in the past right after a season ends. I’m just enjoying the moment.”

After making the first contact with UC Santa Barbara, Flores maintained in touch with assistant coach Robert Marlow. But things didn’t start heating up in the recruiting process until Flores went 15-2 at the Knights Invitational on April 13. When Flores took an official visit to UC Santa Barbara, he knew it was the place for him and thought everything was in line for the Gauchos to offer him a scholarship on the spot.

“I was excited and expecting they would offer a scholarship,” Flores said. “But later on (the UC Santa Barbara coaches) said, ‘OK, Logan, everything checks out fine. You have the marks to qualify to be on the travel team and we’ll be recruiting you as a walk-on.’”

That statement was a punch in the gut to Flores, but rather than sulk Flores told Marlow “that I would hit 16 (feet) soon.” And that’s exactly what

FOCUSED Former Mustangs standout Logan Flores capped off a spectacular career by finishing seventh in the state pole vault event. excel in the pole vault). Logan has been a real spark and example of yes, there are boys out here in the area who can reach the state level—we just have to find them and develop them. Logan was great to work with, and I’m kind of spoiled now to find a kid that works that hard.

“I’ve had six dedicated boys like that in 30 years, and the five others are doing well in their professions. Logan is brilliant

academically and one of those rare kids who did it all. If I found him a year earlier, he’d be a 17-footer. That’s speculation, but based on the way he’s progressed, 17 would be a conservative guess on how high he could’ve gone. But now I hand him off to the Santa Barbara coaches, wish him the best of luck and tell him to remember how he got here and to be his own best coach.”

January 2, 1920 - May 5, 2018

O

n Tuesday, May 29, 2018, Lawrence F. McRae, at the age of 89, passed into heaven in Redding, California.

Larry was born to Samuel and Freida McRae in Rochester, NY on December 15, 1928. Beginning life on a farm that had no electricity, Larry’s lifetime included early research in space travel, flying as a private pilot and being a beloved family man and friend to many.

He joined the US Air Force in 1947. He served at Burtonwood Air Base in England during the Berlin Air Lift and concluded his service in AirSea Rescue. On April 17, 1962 he married Virginia Nielsen. He is survived by his wife, his son David (Trish) and daughter Roberta, his grandchildren Jonathan, Kevin and Megan and brother Samuel (Pat). He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Bob and sister Rita. His many relatives and friends span the globe and were important to him.

It wasn’t unusual to be buzzed by an airplane announcing his arrival since he loved piloting his plane for fun and visits. He could be found at airshows either as a participant or an observer and was never happier than doing mechanical work on aircraft.

He received his AA degree from Gavilan Community College as a member of the first graduating class. He continued at San Jose State University earning his BS degree in Industrial Arts.

Services will be held on Friday, July 20, 2018 at 11:00am at the Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo, California.

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 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned
