No group has filed against sales tax renewal MEASURE A IS ON GILROY BALLOT NOV. 6

By Jacqueline McCool Reporter

Scott Forstner

Gilroy residents will be voting on two Santa Clara County measures on the Nov. 6 ballot. Measure A, which would continue a one-eighth cent sales tax in Santa Clara County and Measure X, a bond for Gavilan community college.

One committee has been organized to campaign in favor of measure A. If passed with a majority vote, Measure A will maintain a one-eighthcent tax throughout the county. Gilroy’s current combined sales tax is 9 percent. The county portion is 0.25 percent.

A group called the “Committee for the Future of Santa Clara County” has publicly filed in support of the measure. On the committee’s filings, the Valley Medical Foundation and Healthier Kids Foundation are listed as contributors.

Council won’t build sidewalks for seniors THE APARTMENT BUILDING FOR SENIORS BROKE GROUND SEPT.18

A Humboldt County developer has begun construction of a 74-unit apartment building for seniors in an industrial neighborhood at the south end of Monterey Street in Gilroy.

Surrounded by a lumber yard,

CalTrain tracks and a landscaping stone business, the affordable Gateway Apartments being built by Danco Communities of Arcata will have a sidewalk in front, but no route for its lowerincome senior residents to walk off the property, except on the busy street.

A spokesman for the developer said it is not required to extend sidewalks past its property located approximately a quarter-mile south of 10th Street—which has

sidewalks— and a majority of the City Council has no interest in using city funds to build a sidewalk. Property owners should pay for any sidewalk extension, council members say.

The project has been subject to changes amid some controversy over the past year. Its financing with affordable housing funds was approved by the City Council on a 6-1 in 2017, and the council then voted 5-2 in favor of the final construction plans. The apartments were first

a project by AMG & Associates, which threatened to sue the city if its plans were rejected.

Following project approval one year ago, Danco Communities took ownership of the project.

The City Council had initially asked the developer to pay for sidewalks to connect the 74 units to 10th Street, but the developer denied this request and moved forward with plans, while threatening a lawsuit. ➝ Gateway, 4

Libraries programs break records 2018 SUMMER READING, LUNCH AT THE LIBRARY PROGRAM SET RECORDS FOR PARTICIPATION Staff report

Barry Holtzclaw

Santa Clara County Library District’s 2018 Summer Reading programming, “Reading Takes You Everywhere,” saw record participation by children, teens and adults, according to a Sept.

11 announcement.

Morgan Hill and Gilroy libraries—both of which saw a significant increase in participation over this summer—are part of the SCCLD network.

In addition, SCCLD’s “Lunch at the Library” initiative set records of its own by feeding the minds and bodies of children and their caregivers in South County, according to the report.

A new goal was set and surpassed with an inaugural community reading goal of 100,000 books.

“Summer Reading is one of our signature programs, and I am delighted to see the increased numbers of Santa Clara County residents who have taken part,” said county librarian Nancy Howe. “Our libraries and Bookmobile program expertly deliver fun and educational programming for participants of every age, be it special guest performers, games or numerous prizes for participation.”

IMAGINATION RULES Mural at Gilroy Library shows magic of childhood reading.

Dozens of programs were held at all eight county libraries this summer, from early June through August.

Participation in this year’s reading challenge surpassed 32,000 people, a 30 percent increase over last year.

The community reading goal of 100,000 books was nearly doubled with

patrons logging close to 179,000 reads.

Kids and teens who read five books received special prizes and were entered into prize drawings.

This year, SCCLD partnered with the San Francisco 49ers, who provided incentives for readers. SCCLD also had the continuing support of the Tech Museum

of Innovation, Gilroy Gardens and, for the first time, Monster Jam at SAP. Lunch at the Library, a program that offers free, nutritious meals to children during the summer, served 5,783 meals, 42 percent more than last year. The Bookmobile staff hosted twice-a-week programming at San Martin-Gwinn

Elementary School, with guest speakers, interactive games and healthy meals each day. They saw a nearly 250 percent annual increase in attendance. Gilroy and Morgan Hill libraries each saw increases of more than 20 percent.

In addition, through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank and the YMCA, SCCLD was

able to offer lunch to the accompanying caregivers.

“This has been a great summer for book lovers and to have fun at Santa Clara County Library District events,” said County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, board chairman of the Library Joint Powers Authority. “The library’s programs have been entertaining and memorable.”

Senior apartments to rise in city Gateway , 1

Barry Holtzclaw

Construction began Sept.

24, and the only sidewalk that will be built is what is required by the city in front of the building. Danco and the city have no immediate plans to create a sidewalk extending to 10th Street.

Councilmember Daniel Harney voted against the project twice, and Mayor Roland Velasco voted against the project construction plans. Theirs were the only negative votes for the project.

Velasco said the developer paid money into a trust that the city is holding to eventually build a sidewalk along the street. Danco paid $73,438 for future off-site improvements. Extending the sidewalk to 10th would cost more than $200,000 just in materials, according to the city.

As the area between 10th Street and the Gateway apartments attracts new residential or commercial developments, each developer will pay a fee into the trust. This is how the city plans to create a sidewalk in the area.

The developer chose vacant land that Velasco said the city had no plans to develop. He said that under usual circumstances, development would have continued to happen closer to the city center and pushed outward, creating a natural length of sidewalk, with developers paying the city for the sidewalk construction.

Councilmembers Dion Bracco, who supported the project, and Harney, who opposed it, both echoed this thought. They said they had not anticipated not paying for the sidewalk, if the development of the street had happened as originally planned.

“Hindsight being 20/20,” said Velasco, “it was just never imagined that someone would leap frog that area.”

Although opposed to the

NEW HOME FOR SENIORS CalTrain rumbles in the background, at site of new affordable apartments for seniors on Monterey Street. project, he said he could not justify spending city money on a sidewalk to the senior housing project when other parts of city infrastructure needed to be maintained.

Danco Communities specializes in building and managing affordable housing communities. Their website states, “From affordable housing for seniors, veterans and low-income families to market-rate homes, we are continually looking for opportunities to bring new living options to the North Coast.”

Bracco said the fact that the units were considered affordable housing was another reason the project was difficult to regulate.

Velasco said, “Because it was initially a low-income

project, their margins were very tight.” He said this made it hard to ask developers to pay for the additional sidewalk.

Public transportation does not reach that end of Monterey Street. Chris Dart, president of Danco communities, did not forsee the sidewalks being an issue for the future tenants.

“I think the people have a way to get around,” said Dart. He was not more specific.

Harney questioned how well the elderly community living in the apartments would be able to travel, if it was not by car.

“We’re gonna have [74] units with seniors living in there that are gonna have to drive everywhere.”

Councilmember Bracco did not feel the sidewalks were an issue and told the Dispatch future residents will be able to see what the site looks like and make the decision for themselves.

In a Danco press release the project, is projected to house 37 individuals who are “formerly homeless.”

“The building will have its own on-site property manager, and the project’s common areas will include a community room and kitchen, case management and therapy offices, outdoor seating in landscaped areas, picnic area with pergola, community gardens, ground-level parking and laundry on each floor,” read the press release.

Dart said there will be

sidewalks throughout the property, but that Danco wouldn’t pay for additional sidewalks besides what was required.

Bracco, Velasco and Councilmember Fred Tovar believed that the space between the Gateway apartments and 10th Street would eventually get filled in with sidewalks as more development happened in the area.

Tovar said the sidewalk would happen as a result of future development.

“The city is not responsible for the construction of the sidewalk,” Tovar told the Dispatch. “However, a sidewalk will be constructed in front of the project, as this is a standard condition [of development]. Unfortunately, no sidewalk will be

constructed from the end of the project sidewalk. “ Senior civil engineer Jorge Duran with the Gilroy Public Works department told the Dispatch in a statement that the sidewalk leading from the apartments to 10th Street will be an ongoing project for the city.

“In the event no future developments are identified in the near term, the city may take on a Capital Improvements Project,” said Duran.

“However, given the extensive amount of time and funding required for such project, exact timing has not been established.”

Duran said the City Council will be presented with possible funding alternatives to complete the sidewalk at the next budget cycle.

OPINION LETTERS

It’s time to get smart by ‘Growing Smarter’

DAN WALTERS

The state’s economy has some cracks

A

significant sub-theme of Gov. Jerry Brown’s climate change conference in San Francisco this month was that California is a living model of how a nation-state can go green while experiencing economic prosperity.

Some Californians take it a step further, contending that going green is itself an economic spur.

Certainly California’s current economy is, at least superficially, booming.

The state’s official unemployment rate is 4.2 percent, a record-low level, reflecting tens of thousands of new jobs being added each month—nearly 50,000 in July alone, according to the most recent employment report.

California’s total economic output is more than $2.5 trillion a year, which would place it fifth in the world were it a nation.

However, the claims that California is a model of green prosperity are somewhat overblown.

California is prospering these days mostly because the nation as a whole is experiencing a record-long economic expansion. The steps it has taken so far to reduce its carbon footprint have been relatively mild, so the economic impact, positive or negative, has been relatively scant.

The contention that going green has been an economic positive is unproven.

The cheerleaders for that claim notoriously overcount “green jobs,” including many that would exist regardless and discounting the jobs that might be lost in the conversion.

The biggest negative about the state’s economic standing, however, came in a new report issued by the Census Bureau as Brown’s conference was underway.

It was the bureau’s updated report on poverty and once again, California found itself in the unenviable position of being No. 1 in that category when all economic factors are included in the calculation.

While the state’s poverty rate by the Census Bureau’s “supplemental” method

declined slightly since the previous report, it still is the nation’s highest at 19 percent and that’s because of California’s very high cost of living, particularly for housing.

That means 7.5 million Californians, more than the population of most states, are counted as poor. And the situation is even darker when other data are put into the mix.

The Public Policy Institute of California, using a methodology similar to that of the Census Bureau, came up with very similar results, but also calculated that another 20 percent or so of Californians are living in “near-poverty.”

Adding the near-poor to the total brings us to about 16 million Californians struggling to survive. That number is bolstered by the fact that 14 million Californians are being covered by the state’s Medi-Cal program of medical care for the poor, and the number would probably climb to 16 million if undocumented immigrants were eligible for its benefits.

Finally, the state’s record-low unemployment rate is also somewhat misleading. The jobless rate most often cited, 4.2 percent, is the percentage of those considered to be in the workforce who lack jobs. But that doesn’t account for adults who, for one reason or another, don’t work or seek work, nor those who are working only parttime and/or below their skill levels.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics actually calculates unemployment and underemployment six different ways and the most revealing, called “U-6,” includes not only the officially unemployed but “marginally attached” workers and those involuntarily working part-time. California’s U-6 rate is 9.2 percent, more than a full percentage point higher than the national rate and tied with Louisiana for the sixth highest.

Until its real poverty rate and its real unemployment rate drop at least to the national average no one, especially no politician, should be boasting of California’s prosperity.

TO PLACE AN AD

Email: advertising@newsvmedia.com Classified: 408-842-6400

To the editor, A few comments about the Sept. 12 article “Agri·tourist vote may hurt incumbents.”

The group that calls itself “Gilroy Growing Smarter” is limiting its ability to get any smarter. According to the article, if any candidate voted against or opposed measure H or the agri-tourism project, “Gilroy Growing Smarter” is refusing to hear their reasoning.

Consequently, they are going to hold a forum for only those candidates who rubber stamp their position. No dissenters will be tolerated or listened to.

Marie Blankley and Dan Hamey are two sitting councilmembers mentioned in the article. They didn't totally rubber stamp “Gilroy Growing Smarter” positions, so they are not to be heard from. Each of these two are running for re-election, one for two-year term and one for four years.

Your article also mentions two recent homeowners who don't want the agri·tourism project in their neighborhood. They understandably are solely interested in their situation. The requirement for council members is to have a much broader perspective.

Dan Harney and Marie Blankley are exceptional members of the current council. Each one was selected to fill a vacancy after intelligent and broad questioning by sitting council members. Each one of them has excellent qualifications, judgment and a sincere desire to help the City of Gilroy.

It would help those who feel they are “Growing Smarter” to listen to the reasoning and ideas of Marie Blankley and Dan Harney.

When voters see Dan Harney and Marie Blankley on their ballots, they should vote for each of them.

They often don't agree with each other, but I like them both. Dan Harney and Marie Blankley have only one agenda: work for the entire City of Gilroy.

Ronald Gurries

CPA experience can be valuable to city To the Editor Providing accountancy services to businesses and residents of Gilroy since 1991, Marie Blankley is a consummate professional with a passion for community service and a desire to assist in improving local government. Her professional standing as a practicing CPA is verification of her financial expertise.

A Rotarian, Marie’s community service spans more than 20 years. Marie has long history of professional and volunteer service and is vested in Gilroy’s success.

Marie has decided to seek public office where she would work with other City Council members to oversee and influence how services are provided to the community. Marie is a gifted financial planner with an appetite for details behind the numbers. I enthusiastically support Marie Blankley for City Council because of her proficiency in accountancy, her demonstrated record of community service and for her interest in improving local government.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Letters in this campaign season The Dispatch does not publish letters from any candidate during the campaign.

Letters should be from individuals and not organizations; although individuals may represent organizations.

CORRECTIONS The Sept. 14 Gilroy Dispatch incorrectly reported City Councilmember Marie Blankley’s vote on a Hecker Pass agri-tourist development.

Blankley voted against the development, which was approved on a 4-3 vote.

A Sept. 14 article about the impact of a possible Gilroy teachers’ strike on athletics incorrectly identified Christopher High School football head coach Tim Pierleoni as a union representative.

Coach Pierleoni is a teachers’ union member, not a representative.

Fall means it’s time for new flu shots Staff Report

Other ways to limit the spread of the flu include regular hand washing, limited contact with those who have the flu at work or school, covering your mouth or nose while sneezing, or sneezing into an arm or elbow, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Now that summer is over, the Santa Clara County Public Health Department is urging everyone older than 6 months to get ahead of flu season and get a flu shot. Because the start of flu season is unpredictable and the flu vaccine takes two weeks to become fully active, officials are recommending everyone to get the flu shot early.

“Public Health focuses on prevention,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Public Health Department director and county health officer. “Flu shots are the best way to

protect yourself, your family, and the community from becoming seriously ill with the flu.”

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center hospitals and clinics are rolling out their 2018 Adult Flu Fair, where adults 19 and older can get flu shots while supplies last. The Valley Health Center in Gilroy is offering flu shots on Oct. 20, and Nov. 17 from 10 am to 2 pm. Low-cost or free flu shots are also available at doctor offices and many pharmacies.

“Vaccination not only reduces the risk of catching the flu, but it also

Cisco gives $50 million for homeless GRANT MADE THROUGH SILICON VALLEY FOUNDATION Staff Report

Homeless services nonprofit Destination: Home has announced a five-year, $50 million commitment from networking-hardware company Cisco in support of its efforts to end homelessness in Santa Clara County.

The funds will be used by the public-private partnership to maximize the impact of local strategies

aimed at ending homelessness in the region, leverage existing public resources to build additional housing, upgrade technology across the homeless services sector, and invest in promising and evidencebased practices designed to help individuals and families in need of support and stability. Cisco has made the first $20 million of its commitment through the Cisco Fund at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

There are approximately 7,400 people without a home and 2,000 people considered chronically homeless in Santa Clara County, which has

the third highest rate of chronic homelessness in the United States, according to Destination: Home.

"We have said for a long time that it is up to all of us to end homelessness in our community," said the group’s CEO Jennifer Loving. "Cisco has fully embraced that concept and is stepping up in a big way to provide the type of critical private sector leadership and substantial funding that is necessary to address this crisis head on. We couldn't be more thrilled or grateful to have Chuck Robbins and the Cisco team at the table."

“To solve this crisis, there must be supportive

policies in place, political and community will, and funding to acquire land and build the housing,” the group said.

With Santa Clara County voters in 2016 approving Measure A, a $950 million housing bond with $700 million dedicated to increasing the supply of extremely low income and supportive housing, the funding from Cisco will allow Destination: Home to explore new approaches available to end homelessness in the region.

“We can put an end to homelessness in Santa Clara County, and there is no better partner in this

work than Destination: Home,” said Chuck Robbins, chairman and CEO of Cisco. “I hope to join together with other business leaders across the technology industry so that with our collective creativity and innovative spirit, we can create a thriving community for all, including those who need our help the most.”

“One of the reasons that Silicon Valley will continue to thrive is because of the leadership of people like Chuck Robbins and generosity of companies like Cisco, who invest in our community in a meaningful and compassionate way,” said Santa Clara

County Supervisor Cindy Chavez.

“My deepest thanks to Chuck Robbins and Cisco for their leadership, collaboration and commitment to solving our community’s homelessness crisis. Cisco’s extraordinary gift will go a long way to helping house more of our homeless neighbors, and serves as a prime example of how our community is coming together to confront some of our greatest challenges,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo.

Cisco has made the first $20 million of its $50 million commitment to this work through the Cisco Fund at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Chris Mora

Higher level CONCENTRATION Allison Duross, Natalia Vidito and Kennedy Bretz are three of the many standouts on Christopher, which looks to enjoy the

everyday process of playing the game. The Cougars are not lacking for talent, however, so they expect to be competitive in the Gabilan Division.

COUGARS ENJOY THE PROCESS OF IMPROVING emanuel lee Sports Editor

Chris Mora

Allison Duross doesn’t get intimidated whenever she has to play the best teams in the Central Coast Section. After all, the Christopher High junior outside hitter/opposite plays her club ball with City Beach, which has many of their players on the rosters of high-profile high school programs in the powerhouse West Catholic League.

“Playing with some of them, I know I can hold my ground,” she said. “They inspire me to play better, but at the same time it helps me realize that I’m a good player and I have to play with confidence and the right mindset.”

The Cougars, who entered the week with a 1-1 record in the Pacific Coast League’s Gabilan Division, seemingly has the requisite talent to contend for a league championship.

“The talent on our team is amazing,” Duross said. “Our teamwork and chemistry has been good, and hopefully we can continue to get better.”

Cougars coach Ramon Rodriguez said he’s still trying to build a “team culture where everyone gets along and plays well together” while not worrying about wins and losses.

“The wins and losses for us will be measured off the court,” said Rodriguez, whose assistant coach happens to be his wife of seven years, Stephanie. “Our main focus is for everyone to enjoy the experience of playing for Christopher. We’ll work hard and if the wins are going to happen, they’re going to happen.”

Rodriguez points to the three captains—Madison Hammer, Grace Gundy and Duross—as players who lead with their

the season. The Cougars seek an upper-tier finish in the Pacific Coast Athletc League after going 4-8 in the Gabilan Division last year.

actions. Hammer, a 5-foot-10 junior outside hitter/middle, has a versatile skill set that allows her to play every position on the court.

“Madison is a unique individual who can play any position,” Rodriguez said. “We can put her at setter and be confident, and of course when she’s in the front row, she hits with a very heavy hand.”

Gundy, a senior middle hitter, poses a difficult matchup for opposing teams when she’s in rhythm. Gundy plays for Vision, which is one of the premier club programs in the Bay Area.

“If Grace and her setter are connecting, she’s almost unstoppable,” Rodriguez said. “She’s a very gifted athlete.”

Duross is the team’s go-to outside hitter, a six-rotation player and one who has the rare ability to turn a so-so set into a point.

Ultra-reliable

“No matter what is happening, you know when you get the ball to her, good things usually happen,” Rodriguez said.

Christopher is a physically strong team, with junior middle blocker Kennedy Bretz being a force at the net. Armed with an impressive vertical leap, Bretz has the ability to affect the game in a variety of ways.

“Kennedy makes an impact with the energy and attitude she brings to the court, which is really special,” Rodriguez said.

“When she’s on, she can take over a game. She’s constantly working with a personal trainer, and physical fitness is a hobby for her.”

Rodriguez describes junior outside hitter Natalia Vidito as an “amazing athlete who moves well, jumps high and has a good mind for the game.” Vidito’s athleticism allows her to reach balls on the court that most players can’t get to, a luxury for a Cougars team that looks to elevate its defensive play.

Senna Kolagotla, a junior setter, has all of the intangibles to be the pacesetter of the team.

“She has a quiet confidence and a really good ability to lead on the court,” Rodriguez said.

“She’s not that tall, but she makes

up for it with pure hustle, a great attitude and extreme confidence.

She has solid all-around skills and uses all of them.”

Duross believes the team has the talent to contend for a Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division championship. It’s up to the Cougars to coalesce and rally together to make that happen.

“We’re still working on our chemistry and once we get that down, we’ll get better,” she said.

Over the years, Duross has worked on being a more complete hitter, knowing it will pay off against taller players. “(When I go up for an attack) I try to roll it, swing it over and try to hit it deep if I have to face a big block,” she said. “You have to play smart in this sport.”

Gilroy has eyes set on championship MUSTANGS LOOK LIKE THE FAVORITE TO WIN THE PCAL’S CYPRESS DIVISION emanuel lee Sports Editor

Hitting smarter

PASSING FANCY Maggie Brinkman and Ella Blank prepare to make a pass

in the Mustangs’ three-set win over Pajaro Valley on Sept. 19.

Chris Mora

Offensively, Popma feels like she’s become a smarter hitter, as tips and a variety of finesse shots have become a part of her arsenal.

“I don’t try to kill it every time because that won’t work,” she said.

The Mustangs have a solid setter in junior Amaya Raoof, who passes well and keeps the team’s offense in rhythm. Ella Blank, a junior libero, is the de facto captain of the back row with her ability to keep rallies alive and everyone communicating.

“Ella runs the back row and she is there every time making sure to getting balls up and running into chairs and doing everything in her power to make sure no ball drops,” Carpenter said. “She’s always being

loud and talking up the team and trying to get them excited. That’s being a good leader.”

In a three-game sweep over Pajaro Valley on Sept.

19, Clonts and Brinkman led the team with 13 kills apiece, and Raoof pumped out 33 assists. Brinkman also had 12 digs and two service aces, displaying her strong all-around game. Popma had five service aces and Blank had 23 digs.

A year ago, Gilroy didn’t have the on-court chemistry to achieve its potential. The Mustangs have done a 180-degree turnaround this season, and the results are evident.

“This year we definitely have a bond that can’t be broken,” Popma said. “We all accept each other more about our decisions, and things have really clicked for us this year. With that our team goal is to win league and strive to win a CCS title.”

Said Carpenter: “Last year our biggest issue was a lack of communication.

This year they came in with the goal of playing together, and they’ve done just that.”

With more girls on the varsity and junior varsity teams playing club in the off-season, the players who come up the varsity now are more experienced and ready to make an immediate impact.

“The girls know the game really well, they know what is expected of them and the communication has been on point,” Carpenter said.

“Those things have been the biggest game-changers for us.”

Chris Mora

Meghan Popma grew up with two older brothers who never took it easy on her. The Gilroy High senior credits her upbringing for helping her to develop into a bona-fide impact outside hitter at the high school level.

“My brothers taught me how to be tough,” Popma said. “I’d go throw the football with them or play soccer, and they taught me to always stand up for myself.”

The Mustangs are standing tall this season.

They entered the week at 11-5 overall and 4-0 in the Pacific Coast League’s Cypress Division, which has pleased coach Bailie Carpenter.

“So far I’ve been really impressed with the team,” she said. “The biggest highlight for me is how everyone is getting along so well together. You can see on the court that they’re functioning as one, which has been a problem for us in the past. But this year we’ve completely turned things around.”

In captains Margo Clonts, Maggie Brinkman and Popma, Gilroy has three players who lead by example. Clonts, a senior middle hitter, makes an impact with her ability to hit the ball with authority and block attacks.

“She’s a force to be reckoned with,” Carpenter said. “Most teams struggle defending strong middles, and Margo does not make

it easy for the other team to pick up balls on her.”

Brinkman, a senior outside hitter, possesses a strong swing and has made tremendous improvement since her freshman year.

“She’s one of those athletes who want to learn how to do new skills and is open to critique,” Carpenter said.

Even though Popma plays outside hitter, her game is versatile enough that she played setter in a match earlier in the season against North Salinas.

“I want to be the best teammate I can be,” she said. “I just needed to step up and take that role for that particular day. I’ve been thrown in every position possible (since I started playing), so it wasn’t a shock to me.”

ALL SMILES Meghan Popma, Amaya Raoof and Ell Blank celebrate a point in Gilroy’s

three-game sweep over Pajaro Valley. Raoof had 33 assists and Popma five aces in the win.

Caring for the Bay Area’s commercial and estate trees for over 20 years

ennie Van Tassel, 79, died in Kirkland, Washington, after a long battle with leukoencephalopathy.

Computer scientist, professor, mathematician, author, much loved father, brother, son and companion, Dennie was born in Clear Lake, South Dakota to Rush and Florence Van Tassel. He had two siblings, Marge and Jim, with whom he remained close his entire life.

Upon graduation from high school, he joined the Marines and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California. After his service to his country, he completed a BS in Mathematics at the University of Southern California and an MA in Mathematics at California State College, Los Angeles. He put himself through school by working full time for the duration. After graduating, he settled in Santa Cruz, California where he worked for 25 years as System Administrator at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He subsequently embarked on a second career as Professor of Computer Science at Gavilan Community College, finally retiring 15 years later at age 76. He was never one for bureaucracy and would frequently skip meetings, to the occasional frustration of the administration. Instead, he put his students first, making himself endlessly available via office hours, labs, and on-line coursework. Dennie also authored five books, wrote magazine articles, and submitted many letters to the editor at newspapers including the New York Times.

His strong work ethic never relented until very late in life, when declining health forced him to slow down.

He married in 1968 and had two children, who were by his side at his passing. His daughter and son have many memories of their father’s boundless energy.

Tearing down an old barn and rebuilding it on their urban farm with his son, driving to Baja California in a VW van and camping on the beach, taking long runs through the University hills, donning his bee suit to collect honey from his beehives, and surprising his daughter upon her high school graduation with a trip to Paris and London are just a few examples of his adventurous, generous spirit.

After his marriage ended in divorce he found Marlene Bumgarner, his companion for almost 20 years who was by his side the week of his passing. He helped to parent her youngest child, Deborah Eltgroth, during her high school years, and she considered him her stepfather.

Dennie will be remembered for his generosity, dry sense of humor, unpresuming presence, strong work ethic and love of travel. He is survived by his daughter Sonia Gabrielson (Jacob), son Eric Van Tassel (Rebecca), brother James Van Tassel (Nancy), sister Marge Seuss, and companion and sweetheart Marlene Bumgarner, along with four beautiful grandchildren (Jessica, Nathan, Blake and Chloe) and many other friends, colleagues and family members.

All will miss him dearly.

A Celebration of Life will occur on October 7, 2018 at 2:30pm at Peace United Church of Christ, 900 High Street in Santa Cruz, California.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider a donation to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Wood cells are weakened during times of drought due to low water content, attacks from insects and fungi and depletion of food storage in the roots system.

Heavy rains and soil saturation results in a tree taking up larger amounts of water than has been absorbed for several years, heavy limbs and high winds create windsail / wind resistance and a weakened limb structure can be the triad of destruction for trees.

Anchorage

During years of stress, food stored within the root system in the form of starch can be depleted, low moisture, hot summers can result in soil compaction and these factors can equal poor anchorage for your tree.

Uptake of water into a weakened canopy can result in stress around the root base. Combine these two factors with soil saturation and uprooting failure can occur.

High Wind Sail While excessive pruning is never recommended, selective and proper canopy thinning can be useful when seeking to lessen the stress from high winds on your tree. During winter months, evergreens are often the victims of uprooting due to high winds and poor anchorage.
