PICENO SEEKS RE-ELECTION; MIDTGAARD READY TO PASS THE TORCH Scott Forstner Reporter

As a retired Gilroy Unified School District educator and current Board of Trustees president, Linda Piceno has helped sculpt much of the local education landscape.

And she’s not looking to change that anytime soon, as she confirmed with the Dispatch last week that she will seek a second four-year term on the school board.

Piceno said there are many important and challenging decisions ahead for Gilroy Unified, and she wants to have a part in those discussions.

“The first (reason) is I suspect that this next term, this next board will be the board that selects the next superintendent for the district,” Piceno said. “Debbie Flores is not going to work forever, although we would like her to. I suspect sometime in the next four years she will retire, so I would like to be on the board when that happens.”

Piceno has a long

Garlic is big business GARLIC FEST IS A $3.5M OPERATION, BOON TO GILROY’S LOCAL ECONOMY

By Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

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. ➝ Garlic, 8

Opposition to Islamic center continues ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT DOES LITTLE TO EASE TENSIONS IN SAN MARTIN

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 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 ➝ Cordoba Center , 5

Child rapist sentenced to 34 years VICTIMS TELL HOW PAIN OF ABUSE LEFT ITS SCARS Michael Moore Reporter

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 self-harm,” 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 Dispatch 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.”

“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.

On July 5, a federal district judge generally allowed most of California’s sanctuary state laws to survive, but granted a preliminary injunction blocking the state from fining employers who voluntarily grant U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to their worksite or employee records.

Consent to Workplace Access

On Wednesday, July 11, Caliber Collision celebrated the opening of their second location in Gilroy with a Gilroy Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting.

Court Puts Parts of California’s New Workplace Immigration Law on “ICE”

By Gail Cecchettini Whaley, Senior Employment Law Counsel, CalChamber alifornia’s Immigrant Worker Protection Act (AB 450) provides California workers with certain protections from immigration enforcement while on

• Enter nonpublic work areas without a warrant; or • Access, review or obtain company records without a subpoena or judicial warrant.

Employers who violated these provisions could be fined up to $10,000.

July 27 – 29 – Gilroy Garlic Festival at Christmas Hill Park

C

AB 450 placed various requirements on employers for workplace immigration enforcement actions. Since January 1, employers have been prohibited from voluntarily allowing immigration agents workplace access. Employers could not voluntarily allow a federal immigration enforcement agency to:

the job. This law went into effect on January 1, 2018, but the federal Department of Justice challenged the law, plus several other California “sanctuary state” laws.

Notice Obligations Upheld Importantly, the court upheld the notice obligations found in AB 450. Under AB 450, employers: • Must give notice to employees of any inspection of Forms I-9 or other employer records within 72 hours of receiving a Notice of Inspection.

• Have notice obligations once the inspection is over. Within 72 hours of receiving the inspection results, employers must give each “affected employee” a copy of the results and a written notice of the employer’s and employee’s obligations arising from the inspection.

The court found that the notice provisions simply provide employees an opportunity to cure deficiencies in their paperwork or eligibility, and that nothing in federal law indicates Congress intended for employees “to be kept in the dark.” Providing the “courtesy” of notice to employees does not thwart federal immigration goals.

The federal district court issued a preliminary injunction blocking these two provisions from being enforced against private sector employers.

In other words, California employers must continue providing both pre- and post-inspection notice to employees.

The court held that the Department of Justice is likely to succeed on its federal constitutional challenge to these provisions, writing:

The battle over California sanctuary state laws, including AB 450, is probably not over as this is only a preliminary injunction and future appeals are likely. In the interim, California employers should continue to comply with AB 450’s notice requirements and consult legal counsel with any questions about how to respond to an ICE visit or request for documents.

For now, private sector employers can’t be fined for voluntarily allowing ICE to enter nonpublic work areas or for voluntarily allowing ICE access to employee records.

Reverification of Employment Eligibility

Stay Tuned

The court also blocked a portion of AB 450 that limits an employer’s ability to reverify the employment eligibility of current employees in a time or manner not allowed by federal law. But employers should be aware that federal law also places limits on reverification of employment eligibility, and those limits still stand.

Islamic community seeks mosque OK Cordoba Center, 1

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.

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 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

SEEKING NEW MOSQUE From left, sisters Maimona Afzal-Berta, Hanna Afzal and Sana Afzal at July 11 meeting.

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 groundwater unfit for potable supplies or other uses.”

Despite the alliance’s disapproval, Abass said he felt overwhelmingly optimistic coming away from the meeting. 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 question-and-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.”

OPINION LETTER

Let us support Islamic center

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, but from increased government inefficiencies and higher government wages, employees and taxes—all associated with ths 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. “Online sources do not act as a perfect substitute for local newspapers,” the economists wrote.

“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 by other media. “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 Free Lance, these economists provide some valuable data. It’s no secret that many communities our size have no local newspaper—many haven’t for years— and the communities suffer. Fortunately, our community support is strong, ensuring that our “watchdog” role—which never had more importance—will continue.

FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Plans for $1 billion reservoir advance’ 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.

Re: ‘Letter to the editor: Support for San Martin mosque’ 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?

To the Editor, I write in support of the Cordoba Center project initiated by the South Valley Islamic Community (SVIC) to provide a mosque for worship and related spiritual services, a cemetery, a separate community building for social and educational activities, and a caretaker’s dwelling and a maintenance building. The right to build, buy, or lease a place to assemble for worship is an indispensable part of religious freedom.

Religious groups simply cannot exercise their faiths without facilities adequate for their needs.

Santa Clara County released the comprehensive draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Cordoba Center project. A summary of issues raised by commenters during the draft EIR preparation included: adequate access to infrastructure, including sewer and water; increased traffic; local drainage and flooding; effects of the proposed cemetery on groundwater quality; land use compatibility; the combined effects of the proposed project and the proposed Patel RV Park (which is adjacent to the proposed Cordoba Center project site). The draft EIR report concluded that these issues would have “less than significant impact with mitigation.”

I reside in Gilroy, am a member of Advent Lutheran Church in Morgan Hill, and am active in the Interfaith Community of South County (ICSC). The nearly 20 faith communities who participate in the ICSC are committed to creating compassionate communities through social, service, and educational programs. The ICSC is open to all faiths and denominations.

I expect that the Cordoba Center project will receive the same consideration as proposed building plans from any other religious community. I expect the Cordoba Center project will be evaluated according to existing laws and regulations including the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) that was passed by Congress to prevent municipalities from using zoning or land-use rules that were “unjustifiably burdensome” on a specific religion.

The Garlic Festival has come a long way since its founding in 1979.

What started as a smalltown 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 two-year 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 percent to help offset the increased transportation cost. 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-by10-feet space, and $1,350 for a 20-by10-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 celebritycentric when they were able to book Guy Fieri and the then up-andcoming 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 ➝ Garlic, 11

GILROY DISPATCH

Christopher gives 4,000 lbs. of garlic Garlic, 8 destinations that are jealous of us, being a small town that has something like this.”

Full Rooms

Contributed

The Garlic Fest is the cherry on top for tourism in Gilroy. With over 100,000 visitors flocking to town, many need a place to stay, and throughout the weekend all 736 hotel rooms in Gilroy will be full. Full rooms equal sweet transient occupancy tax, $202,890 last July, into the city's general fund. Overall, the city received more than $2 million in transient occupancy tax last year.

As of May, the average daily rate for a hotel room in Gilroy was $108.84, compared to about $103 per room last year. Hotels generate $76.72 in revenue from each room, a $2.60 increase per room compared to the previous year.

Gilroy wineries see an extra tourism benefit from Garlic Festival visitors.

There will be 17 area wineries featured at the Gilroy Garlic Festival Wine Pavilion, which is run by the Gilroy Rotary Club.

“They get the immediate visitors, but there’s also the long-term benefit because they can market the wineries and the area,” Howard said.

“You have people in town, and that’s the key,” Howard said. “It brings us national attention, and we are amazed by the interest and excitement the festival brings. Last year we had visitors who came from Russia, just to come to the Garlic Festival.”

Having notable celebrities is a significant benefit

MAIN EVENTS Two of the most notable features of the Gilroy Garlic Festival is Gourmet Alley and events

on the main stage like the Great Garlic Cookoff and the Garlic Showdown.

when spreading the word of the Garlic Festival. When Giada De Laurentiis headlined the festival last year, the state’s official tourism agency, Visit California, took particular notice.

Big stars come with big bills, however, and according to Christopher Ranch Executive Vice President Ken Christopher, De Laurentiis commanded a six-figure fee, more than $100,000.

Christopher Ranch writes the checks for the big celebrities, but the Garlic Festival Association takes care of the day-to-day arrangements, including booking rooms at CordeValle Hotel in San Martin.

Every Bite

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.

Considering the worldwide reach of the Garlic Festival, Christopher Ranch—and the garlic industry as a whole—have significantly benefited from the increased exposure.

Christopher Ranch has been there since the beginning when Don Christopher was among the founding figures of the festival. The company’s involvement continues today.

“We donate from the family and the ranch, and it’s safe to say, it’s more than $200,000, which is no drop in the bucket,” Christopher said. “It’s the signature event for the city and the company. It is known the world over, and the Garlic Festival has brought a level of exposure that is beyond belief.

Back in the ’70s Gilroy was a fraction of what it was now, but since the Garlic Festival started, consumption jumped dramatically.”

This year Christopher Ranch will celebrate the Garlic Festival simultaneously with one of its most robust harvests to date, over 100 million pounds.

Christopher Ranch will only sell American garlic, foregoing what Ken Christopher imports from Argentina and Spain— not from China, a clear rebuke of the Netflix series “Rotten,” which alleged that Christopher Ranch imported Chinese garlic peeled by prison labor.

“We have absolutely not, never, used Chinese garlic, past, present or future,” Ken Christopher said.

Gilroy may be the “Garlic Capital of the World,’ but only 300 of Christopher Ranch’s 5,500 acres in California are used for growing the stinking rose. While a fraction of the garlic grown comes

from Gilroy, all 100 million pounds of garlic used

by Christopher Ranch comes to their facility on Bloomfield Road.

“We are in the middle of the harvest, and we’ll have 15 million pounds coming in over the next few weeks until the end of July,” Christopher said.

“It’s a mad scramble to determine quality for long and short-term storage.

We want to save the best garlic for the holidays.”

This year’s Garlic Festival will be the first year of the Great Garlic Giveaway; attendees can enter a contest to win a year’s worth of Christopher Ranch garlic.

GILROY DISPATCH

Local school candidates lining up GUSD, 1 assistant principal there for 11 years. Before retiring herself in 2007, she was assistant principal at Glenview Elementary, principal of the old Jordan Elementary, principal at South Valley Middle School and then the district’s assistant superintendent of human resources.

Along with the potential for hiring the next education leader, Piceno also said driving her to seek reelection is helping navigate the district through some approaching tough economic times for public education.

“If you read anything about economics in the state of California, it looks like we’re in for some tough times,” added Piceno, pointing to a firsttime enrollment decline in Gilroy schools last

year that will lead to even tougher decisions in future budgets. “I have experience dealing with really tough decisions and it’s not easy but I’ve done it. I’d like to continue to offer that experience to the district.”

The candidate filing period for the Nov. 6 election is July 16 through August 10. Incumbents failing to file a Declaration of Candidacy by the Aug. 10 deadline are then prohibited from filing for the office during the extension period; and the nomination period for that office is then extended until 5pm on Aug. 15.

Along with Piceno, the other three at-large school board seats set to expire in November are those of trustees Patricia Midtgaard, Heather Bass and Jamie Rosso.

Midtgaard, who has served on the GUSD board for 11 years, notified the Dispatch last week that she’s decided not to seek another four-year term.

“As a former teacher and principal in GUSD, I had experienced the many-faceted sides to education at both the classroom and site level,” said Midtgaard, who called her time on the board “invaluable” in learning the governance role. “I thought I understood what the purpose and actions of a school board were, but I didn’t until I served.”

Midtgaard praised her fellow trustees as “ethical, committed board members who are determined to offer a variety of classes and programs so that the students of GUSD will be prepared for their future opportunities.”

During

The candidate filing period for the Nov. 6 election is July 16 through Aug.10. her tenure, she served on the facilities subcommittee and helped shape decisions on the use of Measure P and Measure E bond monies.

Midtgaard lauded bond projects such as the upgrades at Gilroy High, a new library at Rod Kelley Elementary, new wing and administrative building at Glen View Elementary; new multipurpose/cafeteria building and upgrades at Rucker Elementary; and the new stadium at Christopher High.

“I am sure there are community members who are dedicated to the goals of public education and would be advocates for our students in the capacity of a board member,” Midtgaard said. “I would encourage such people to seriously consider serving on the GUSD Board of Education.”

Bass and Rosso could not be reached for comment before this week’s edition.

In addition to these four spots on the local

board, Santa Clara County Board of Education Trustee Claudia Rossi’s seat expires in November 2018. Rossi, a Morgan HIll resident and former Morgan Hill Unified School District trustee who is seeking a second term, represents Trustee Area 7, which includes Morgan Hill Unified, Gilroy Unified, Evergreen and a portion of Oak Grove and corresponding portion of East Side Union High school districts.

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-yearolds 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 halfmile; 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

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. to get healthy and get some of 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.

OBITUARIES SUE DUPLISSIE

WAYNE ETHERIDGE

June 28, 1926 - July 9, 2018

September 12, 1958 - June 8, 2018

S

P

ue Duplissie was born on June 28, 1926 in Detroit Michigan to Armenian immigrant parents Levon and Victoria Kaprielian. Sue married Fred Larmay and had two children Linda and Gordon. Later in life she married Leon Duplissie.

The eldest of five children, Sue lead the way for her siblings, earning a bachelor’s degree and teaching credential. She taught grammar school for over 30 years in the Gilroy School District. Sue was passionate about helping children learn English, as she did not learn the language until she started elementary school.

Sue loved cats, often going to the local shelter to adopt one, but returning with two so they could keep each other company. She loved music and dancing: from disco to square dancing. Sue was an avid painter and her paintings are proudly displayed in the homes of many family members.

Sue passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 92 on July 9, 2018. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister Sarah Karibian. In addition to her two children she is survived by two sisters, Mary Guth and Louise Czarnik, one brother Michael Kaprielian, one grandson Elias Barbosa, two great-grandchildren Daniel and Mateo Barbosa, and son-in-law Jesus Barbosa.

assed peacefully with family at 59 years old after a brave battle. Born to Love, he had many good rides and was rich in character, family, friends and humor. Also known to some as Wishbone or Pete, he loved chilling with family and friends, mishap adventures, good deals and Harley Davison.

Wayne was born in Vermont and made his home wherever family was in Guam, California, Colorado and Utah. Always industrious, he started working in his youth as a neighborhood newspaper boy and doing bike repairs. He had many careers over the years including oil rigger in Utah, bouncer in LA, the fields in Delaney, a tool salesman in San Jose and working the trades in Oroville, Los Gatos and Hollister.

Wherever he traveled he made good friends and was known for his kindness and helping hand.

Preceded in death by his mother Virginia Moore.

He will be missed as a patient father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He loved his bikes, sweets and good one liners. His kind heart and giving spirit will be dearly missed.

Celebration of life July 22, 2018 Hollister. Rock on!

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.

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.
