County bids $235M for Gilroy, San Jose hospitals MADE BY MATT P8 | AUTUMN OUTINGS P16

CURRENT OWNER EXPECTS MORE BIDS Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

➝ St. Louise, 8

Robert Eliason

Santa Clara County’s $235 million bid to buy Saint Louise Regional Hospital and O’Connor Hospital, revealed last week, could be the first of many bids for the hospitals owned

by Verity Health System, Verity CEO Rich Adcock said in an interview Monday, Oct. 8.

Adcock said the county’s offer mailed to the El Segundo nonprofit in early August would serve as a “stalking horse bid” for the two Santa Clara County hospitals, setting the initial floor price for the two hospitals at a public auction of all the local assets that the county bid on.

Adcock said Verity asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court this month to schedule the auction for the first two weeks of December.

He said he expected other purchase offers in the weeks ahead, but declined to identify the

CALABAZA QUEENS Sisters Or and Maya Ereo pick their perfect holiday pumpkins at Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park in Morgan Hill.

Pick of the patch For much of the country, the fall season means cooler weather, changing leaves and pumpkin spice. Where there is no cool weather to be had, we’ll settle for pumpkins—lots of them—in all shapes and sizes.

Uesugi Farms, a South Valley grower in Morgan Hill, brings the crowds to its farm, where its annual Pumpkin Park is a central fall attraction.

The Pumpkin Park is only a one-month operation, opening Oct. 1 and closing up for the year after Halloween. The park, which is open every day during October, employs close to 200 people and

can attract 10,000 or more visitors per day over the course of October.

On Saturday, Oct. 13, Uesugi Farms will host the highlight of its fall season at the Pumpkin Park with the 28th annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, when mindbogglingly large pumpkins from all over Northern California will be weighed. The owner of the heaviest pumpkin wins a prize of $7 ... per pound. For the fattest pumpkins that can reach weights of close to 2,000 pounds, that’s a nice payday.

The park is located at 14485 Monterey Road.

New bail law will nix monetary system BOND BUSINESS CLAIMS POOR WILL BE WORSE OFF Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

On Aug. 28, Gov. Jerry Brown signed one of the most sweeping bills of his administration, Senate Bill 10, the California Money Bail Reform Act, which will abolish the state’s current money bail bond system. Frank and Yesenia

Rivera, owners of Eight Ball Bail Bonds in Hollister, say the new law would put them out of business.

“The biggest problem in California is that the legislators think we’re taking advantage of people, or that we don’t bail out people of color; that’s not true,” Frank Rivera said. “We bail out anyone within reason.”

Rivera has been bailing people out of jail since 1997, when he opened Eight Ball Bail Bonds,

now located at 335 San Benito Street in Hollister. The Hollister native recognized that there was a need, and for him, it was good business sense to work to get people out of jail quickly.

For anyone sitting in a jail cell, quick is essential. For Rivera, if the current system of bail is overturned, many arrestees may find themselves in prison longer than they would have if they could use Eight Ball Bail Bonds.

"If you get arrested on a Friday,

you won't be able to see a judge until that Monday, or longer if there's a holiday," Rivera said.

If the new law goes into effect on Oct. 1, 2019, instead of paying a monetary bond, judges will decide who remains in prison based on how much danger the prisoner potentially poses to the community.

Gilroy teachers ratify new deal BUDGET CUTS NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE FOR SALARY INCREASE Scott Forstner Reporter

A 6 percent raise for Gilroy teachers will likely result in millions of dollars’ worth of staff reductions and other budget cuts in the coming years, Gilroy Unified School District officials warned.

Eighty-five percent of Gilroy teachers voted Oct. 4 to ratify their new contract

agreement. The contract includes a 6 percent salary increase over 18 months, according to an Oct. 5 announcement from the Gilroy Teachers Association.

“The agreement was signed on Sept. 18, and within two days, 85 percent of GTA members had voted to ratify it,” GTA stated in a press release.

However, GUSD officials said the district will need to cut $5 million from its budget over a three-year period to compensate for the increase in certificated salaries.

Along with the pay raise, the collective bargaining

agreement includes improvements in extra-duty rates of pay and an increase in medical benefits. In a side agreement, teachers will be more quickly notified if their own children will be placed in a local school of choice, according to the Oct. 5 press release.

“GTA views the outcome as positive for students, teachers and (Gilroy Unified School District) as a whole,” GTA stated. “Improved salaries and benefits is a step in the right direction (though more work is needed) toward increasing GUSD’s ability to provide excellent instruction by attracting and retaining highly qualified teachers.

“The effort put forth negotiations. Gilroy teachers by the GUSD board and had been working without a administration during contract since June 2017. bargaining will contribute “GUSD’s changing to a sense of being valued financial landscape proin the workplace, and the vides an opportunity organizing effort put forth for a renewed, cooperaby GTA during bargain- tive relationship between ing will contribGUSD and GTA, ute to a sense of as we work community among together to keep union members,” our schools strong the GTA statement and stable,” said continued.

certificated salary schedules retroactive to July 1, 2017; another 2 percent ongoing increase retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018; and a third 2 percent boost effective Jan. 1, 2019.

“We are pleased that both sides engaged in goodfaith bargaining through the state’s impasse resolution process,” said Superintendent Deborah Flores after the agreement was reached.

The district has already made nearly $1 million in budget reductions and will now identify an additional $4 million in potential cuts over the next two years, which will be discussed at upcoming meetings.

Q&A with county board hopefuls GINO BORGIOLI, CLAUDIA ROSSI RUNNING FOR AREA 7 SEAT One of the races appearing on the Nov. 6 election ballot is Area 7 Santa Clara County Board of Education.

Area 7 includes Morgan Hill Unified, Gilroy Unified, Evergreen, and a portion of Oak Grove and corresponding portion of East Side Union High school districts.

Vying for the seat are incumbent Claudia Rossi and challenger Gino Borgioli.

Both are Morgan Hill residents and former Morgan Hill Unified School District trustees. See page 13 of this week’s Dispatch for a detailed bio of both candidates.

The Santa Clara County Office of Education is governed by a seven-member elected board.

The Dispatch sent Borgioli and Rossi the same list of three questions.

Their answers, limited to 50 words, are printed below.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY Board of Education District 7 GINO BORGIOLI Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Enhancing the mentoring

program coupled with specific achievement bonuses. Many teachers come to MHUSD for the professional development training then leave; therefore, finding incentives for them to stay is the answer.

School safety and bullying School safety is central to students feeling secure on campus. A central point of entry for all schools is the only answer.

When I read for Project Cornerstone, it was a three-year program. I saw firsthand how students grew and were better prepared from bullying on campus. I would like to have a middle and high school version of PC.

Immediate allocation of additional funds I voted for NGSS because the student achievement scores improved a great deal in the pilot program at Sobrato. Working with the math department and students was the key. I would allocate extra funding to go directly to programs that enhance and improve student achievement, coupled with extra duty bonuses for teachers that improve student and classroom successes.

CLAUDIA ROSSI Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Every effort must be made to support a budget that aligns

with our values as supporters of public education. In order to attract and retain highly qualified teachers, I would support budgetary adjustments which provide competitive salaries for teachers and class-size reductions. I would also support professional development opportunities for teachers who seek to advance to administrative positions.

School safety and bullying I support partnerships with counseling centers in order to offer mental health counseling for students who display distress, recognizing we need to educate the whole child. I also support partnerships with nonprofits such as Silicon Valley FACES that

have programs that create nurturing school climate and provide tools students can use to resolve conflict and engage with peers with respect, compassion and empathy.

Immediate allocation of additional funds I would use these funds to reduce class size, which would allow students to receive more individualized attention.

I would also invest in school-site tutoring/ homework assistance centers staffed with newly graduated teachers in order to support students who have fallen behind academically or who have language barriers at home.

Former police officer to enter plea Nov. 9 BROWNING ACCUSED OF DRIVING STOLEN CAR TOWARD GILROY POLICE ON HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS Staff report

Chad Browning, the former Hollister Police officer who allegedly drove a stolen vehicle onto a crowded athletic field at Gilroy High School last month, will next appear in court Nov. 9.

Browning, 42, of Fresno, is scheduled to appear for a plea hearing at 1:30pm Nov. 9 at the Morgan Hill Courthouse, according to Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Vishal Bathija.

He is charged with four crimes in relation to a suspected Sept. 9 crime spree that ended with Gilroy police shooting at him before he could drive onto a local football field full of children.

Specifically, Browning is charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, vehicle theft, petty theft and possession of methamphetamine.

OPINION LETTERS

Not fake news “Fake news” is the accusatory term used by Phill Laursen in his Oct. 5 Dispatch letter toward Dan Harney supporters. He goes on to say that his candidate, Carol Marques “proved" that Dan Harney had voted in favor of the 721-acre, 4,000 home project north of town.

Does anybody else see the irony? DAN HARNEY WAS NOT ON THE CITY COUNCIL IN DECEMBER 2015 FOR THIS VOTE, when that 5-4 vote passed. In fact, not fake.

Changing the rules to change election results

C

lay Matthews, the Green Bay Packers’ much-feared linebacker, was penalized after a hard tackle on Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith on Sept.

23, running afoul of new league rules aimed at protecting Smith and other QBs from injury.

It was the second straight week that Matthews had been ticketed for making hard tackles on quarterbacks, and he complained loudly.

The particulars of the incidents aside, they illustrate a cogent point. Changing the rules of the game can change outcomes.

If linebackers can’t go after quarterbacks they way they used to, it gives the offense an advantage vis-à-vis the defense.

What’s true in sports is also true in politics. Each legislative session brings a slew of bills to change political rules, with the hope of affecting who or what wins or loses.

Two of this year’s political rules measures, one signed and one vetoed, underscore the syndrome.

The Democrats who control the Capitol have been trying for years to alter the initiative system that allows advocates to bypass the Legislature and take their proposals directly to voters by gathering signatures of registered voters on petitions.

Why? Having achieved domination of the Capitol, they and their allies, such as unions, want to make it more difficult for competing interests, particularly anti-tax or business groups, to bypass the Legislature and place their causes on the ballot.

Assembly Bill 1947 would have done exactly that by banning organizations from paying professional signature-gatherers for each name they collect. They would have had to be paid by the hour or by the day instead.

The rationale for the measure was that paying by the name encourages signaturegatherers to distort the measures they are

promoting, making them sound benign. But the real motive was to make qualification of initiatives, referenda and recalls more expensive, as Brown said in his veto message.

Brown rejected a nearly identical bill in 2011, and he repeated his reasoning on AB 1947, saying that paying by the signature is “often the most cost-effective method for collecting the hundreds of thousands of signatures needed to qualify a ballot measure.”

Brown, it should be noted, used pay-bythe-name signature gatherers to qualify two initiatives himself.

The second rule-changing bill, which Brown signed, allows Davis Unified School District to exempt teachers and other school employees from paying a parcel tax it would submit to voters for approval.

The official rationale for the exemption, as Senate Bill 958’s author, Sen. Bill Dodd, a Napa Democrat, puts it: “This bill would provide an additional incentive for public educators and school staff to live in the community in which they work, despite the severe shortage of affordable housing.”

The more likely reason is that exempting school employees who live in the district from paying new taxes would make them— and their unions—more likely to support the campaigns to get them approved by voters.

It’s a classic slippery slope, as critics of the measure pointed out in legislative hearings.

Now that Davis school employees have a tax exemption, workers for other local government agencies will certainly demand similar treatment when their employers seek tax hikes.

That’s a potentially huge, game-altering change of political rules.

Susan Mister’s letter on Oct. 5 stated that Carol Marques, City Council Candidate, who I support, is running on a past issue. She was referring to Measure H, the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). She stated, “There has been no talk from citizens or the council to change it.” She is wrong. There is a landowner and his fellow investors who do want to change it and they have made large contributions to candidate Dan Harney’s campaign.

In July, I received a phone call from Mayor Roland Velasco asking if I would discuss the UGB with Mr. Gary Gillmor, owner of the bucolic 2,000-acre, Lucky Day Ranch located behind the Gilroy Golf Course, spreading north to Day Road. Mr. Gillmor then phoned and told me that he was interested in developing his property in the near future and he wanted to know what I thought voters would think about this. I explained that 67 percent of the voters spoke loudly and clearly about stopping sprawl into our beautiful open spaces when they passed Measure H in 2016. I was surprised he was contemplating this so soon.

The same Gary Gillmor has contributed $750 to Dan Harney’s campaign. He has also received a large contribution and endorsement from Jeff Martin, the landowner who wanted to develop the infamous 721acres that is now outside the UGB. Marie Blankley has also received the same contributions. Developers have a lot to gain financially and must be hoping to influence candidates to support their future projects.

Gilroy voters, who will you trust to protect the UGB from big development forces? I trust Carol Marques, who worked so hard to help pass Measure H, unlike her opponent, Mr. Harney, who opposed Measure H and has accepted large donations from developers who would want to change it.

Carolyn Tognetti Gilroy

County bid is one of many expected St. Louise, 1

county-run hospital beds by more than 80 percent, adding the 93 beds at Saint Louise and O’Connor’s 358 beds to the 563-bed Valley Medical Center, according to the county. The proposal also would include the De Paul Health Center in Morgan Hill.

The bankruptcy filing followed what Verity described as “a diligent process of evaluating all options of the table in partnership with the board of directors and legal and financial expert counsel who assessed the organization’s dire financial situation.”

The previous management of the six hospitals and their related health service centers had in 18 years accrued debt totaling over $1 billion, according to Verity.

Verity Health secured debtor-in-possession financing of up to $185 million.

This additional cash will enable continued operations without interruption to patient care, employees and vendors throughout the Chapter 11 process.

Adcock said in an interview that Verity’s goal is to “ensure the long-term success” and “high-quality patient care of the hospitals.”

The bankruptcy filing came 13 months after billionaire entrepreneur physician Patrick Soon-Shiong, bought a majority stake in its management company, Integrity Health Care, with a promise to revitalize the health system.

Verity Health System had announced in July that it was “exploring strategic options to alleviate financial and operational pressures on its six hospitals.”

This prompted Smith to

other suitors, or to say which hospitals are involved.

“There has been robust interest” in the Verity hospitals, he said.

He said Verity has had “formal conversations with over 125 different people for all or parts of the system.”

On Oct. 9, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on a series of actions to support the county’s effort to acquire the hospitals.

Specifically, the board approved a resolution of intent to purchase the Gilroy and San Jose facilities; a resolution delegating the county executive to negotiate the transaction; and the addition of staff positions in the county’s hospital system relating to the purchase.

In late August, Verity Health System filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 to “reorganize and facilitate an orderly and efficient sale process.”

That means that the bankruptcy court must manage the sales process and approve any sale offer.

County Executive Jeff Smith said the county’s offer, sent nearly a month before Verity announced the Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, had included with the purchase offer a list of terms and conditions offered for the two acute care hospitals. One condition would be that the county would make few changes in hospital and medical services. The dollar amount of the offer was not revealed until Verity’s Oct.2 announcement.

The acquisition would increase the number of

The county currently operates one acute care hospital, Valley Medical Center, plus 10 healthcare clinics around the county.

The sales process kicked off with the announcement of the “asset purchase agreement” with the County of Santa Clara.

Verity Health has requested court approval of an “orderly auction process” where other potential buyers can submit qualified competing bids against Santa Clara County’s bid.

The winning bid, as selected by the Verity Health Board of Directors, in consultation with its professional

legal and financial advisors, is subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court, and, depending on the buyer, the California attorney general.

“O’Connor and Saint Louise are two critically important institutions in the communities they serve, and the county has shown great leadership to ensure both can continue their mission of providing high-quality care to patients well into the future,” said Verity’s Adcock in a statement. “As we advance this sale process through the court, we are continuing to work with other potential buyers for Verity’s remaining assets, so they can be relieved from the financial burdens that impede their

service to the community, and they can continue serving patients in their respective communities.”

The county is seeking to acquire substantially all assets at both hospitals for a purchase price of $235 million, although that price is potentially subject to certain adjustments at closing.

In the agreement, the county has committed to operating both hospitals “with a focus on quality, safety and patient satisfaction, including maintaining participation with public and private payors.”

In addition, the county commits to instituting its charity care policies, and continuing to provide care

through community-based health programs.

Adcock told Reuters that Verity has been losing $175 million per year on cash-flow basis, and operated at a loss for at least the past three years. Politico quoted Verity as saying it had planned to break even in the 12 months ended June 2018, but the system reported its operating performance was $116 million below its budget expectations.

It was also reported that prior to filing for bankruptcy, Verity stopped all capital improvement projects, and needs to spend millions in updates to meet California's seismic standards by 2019.

hile many voters in Gilroy will be very focused on national and statewide issues this election season, our local elections can have a greater impact on our daily lives. Our city policies and leadership will impact our local economy as much as the state and national leadership we elect in November. In terms of economic development, we should all be aware that local decisions and resources for economic development will play a large role in our quality of life.

Decisions made by local elected officials impact the future of our community and without a vision and true leadership we will not reach our full potential as a community. Leadership is a critical factor in effective economic development and can come from many places within the community. Following is a list of things local elected officials should know about economic development in order to be effective leaders:

•

Your local economic strengths and weaknesses

•

Your community’s place in the broader regional economy

•

Connections between economic development and other city policies

•

Your regulatory environment

•

Your local economic development partners and stakeholders

•

The needs of your local business community

A strong understanding of the community will assist local elected officials in making critical decisions that impact our city and its residents. Elected officials should have an understanding of how our community fits into the broader region and how local policies impact our competiveness as a business location. A community’s regulatory process should allow for timely, reliable and transparent resolution of issues facing businesses.

Gilroy has a number of assets to make us competitive as a business location, but unless the leadership of the city reflects the true economic goals and business friendly environment that companies seek, we will not realize full potential as a business location. For more information on economic development for Gilroy, please contact the Gilroy Economic Development Corporation at 408-847-7611 or email president@gilroyedc.org.

GILROY DISPATCH

New bail law could harm businesses Bail, 1 don’t want to need their service, but you’re glad they’re there if you ever do. The Riveras think the bail bond industry is unfairly stigmatized. To them they fill a role useful both for the arrestee, but also the state.

“A bail bond is a power of attorney that is worth what the bail is set at,” Rivera said. “If they don’t come back to court, we have six months to bring them back. If we don’t we owe the full amount due to the court. If the new law is put into effect, the taxpayers foot the bill.”

The amount of bail is based on the crime on a county by county basis. People in jail can get out by paying, and the court ensures their return by paying back the bail when the trial is over. Felony domestic violence in San Benito County carries a $50,000 bond, and if the arrestee fails to return to court when ordered, the bail is forfeited.

At that point, Rivera must either hire a bounty hunter to make the arrest, or he must make the arrest himself. Under the new law, state police are on the

hook to find and arrest bail jumpers.

Critics of the current system contend that it's a tax on the poor since many impoverished offenders often can't afford to pay bail. Bail bonds companies step in by offering a surety bond to cover the bail, along with a 10 percent fee.

The California Money Bail Reform Act was introduced by Senator Bob Hertzberg and Assemblymember Rob Bonta, both Democrats, to ensure that prisoners were not held solely because they could not afford bail.

Brown had sought bail bond reform since as far back as 1979 when he called the current system a "tax on the poor."

Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who said the current system is “outdated, unsafe and unfair," echoed their support for the reform.

The effort is among several criminal justice reforms championed by the Brown Administration. Brown has also signed bills and measures to downgrade drug offenses, easing

punishments for juvenile offenders, and the expansion of the possibility of early release for prisoners.

Now the bail bond industry is scrambling to gather more than 350,000 signatures from registered California voters to overturn Senate Bill 10. If advocates of the bail bond industry can obtain the needed signatures by the Nov. 26, 2018 deadline, voters will be able to cast their ballots in 2020 to decide the fate of the current system.

Until then, the Riveras will continue business as usual, but they will also need to have an eye on the future. Should the state lock away their business and throw away the key in 2019, they will need to find another way to make a living.

“I don’t know yet what we’re going to do,” Rivera said. “For 20 years, it’s helped us raise a family and send out kids to school, and we’ve been able to stay off the road and do business here.

If not, the court may have open positions and Farmers Insurance reached out to see if we wanted to work with them.”

Bryce Stoepfel

If they don’t come back to court, we have six months to bring them back. If we don’t we owe the full amount due to the court. If the new law is put into effect, the taxpayers foot the bill.

Gilroy hosts fifth annual tamal festival NONPROFIT RAISES FUNDS FOR YOUTH

By Debra Eskinazi Magazine and Features Editor

criminal activity, Rebeca said, the program offers families assistance navigating different systems including legal, health care and schools.

“We help them to learn about their rights in all of these different settings and serve as a voice for the voiceless—teaching folks how to advocate for themselves,” she said.

CARAS plans to host a Day of the Dead fundraiser on Nov. 3, with funds going toward the restoration of the Aztec calendar mural on Old Gilroy street.

For information about CARAS and its Dia de los Muertos fundraiser, call 408.847.4978.

Scott Hinrichs

Sweet or savory, meat or veggie—more than 10,000 people lined up for tamales at the fifth annual Gilroy Tamal Festival in downtown Gilroy on Sunday, Oct. 7.

The event is run by Community Agency for Resources, Advocacy, and Services (CARAS), a south Santa Clara County nonprofit group providing advocacy services to at risk youth and their families.

“Our purpose for organizing the festival is to bridge gaps between the Latino community and

non Latinos in South County,” said CARAS program director Reymundo Armendariz. “We believe cultural events are a good way to dispel prejudice and discrimination through cultural awareness and appreciation.”

CARAS board member, Rebeca Armendariz said the funds raised, usually less than $5,000, go toward its youth programs with a focus on themes like decision making and gang intervention.

“The funds will go toward the materials and the stipends for participating in those programs,” Rebeca said.

In addition to helping youth who are gangimpacted or at high risk for getting involved in

TOP TAMAL Members of La Luz del Mundo church, located on Eigleberry and

Seventh Street, beat out the other competitors by taking first place for the best tamales at the fifth annual Gilroy Tamal Festival on Sunday, Oct. 7.

CROSS COUNTRY

Robert Eliason

Runner’s high THREE’S COMPANY Karina Rodriguez, Maddie Eastus and Marianna Bundros are three of the key runners for the Gilroy High girls cross country team. The Mustangs recently won the second league meet and are poised to capture their first league championship since the 2009 season.

MUSTANG GIRLS ARE POISED TO WIN PCAL emanuel lee Sports Editor

Pack running

Gilroy’s next three finishers— seniors Lucas Bundros (18:20) and Alberto Bedolla (18:23) and sophomore Arturo Perez (18:23)—all finished together, taking 31st, 32nd and 33rd, respectively. By running together, the boys pushed each other to faster times.

“It helps them mentally when you’ve got teammates around you,” Silva said. “It keeps them going the entire race. They pack run and train so well as a group.”

In addition to the aforementioned boys, sophomore Anthony Rodriguez (86th) and junior Andres Nava Garcia (89th) ran at Crystal Springs. On the girls side, junior Aphrodite Ayala has played a key role this season, especially in the second league meet when the team took first overall with 66 points, edging San Benito in the process.

Ayala finished 17th overall in that race in 22:06.40 at Christmas Hill Park. The team victory was critical on many fronts, as San Benito has either won or taken second in league for the better part of a decade.

However, Gilroy showed it will be in contention to take its first league championship in the upper division for the first time in a long time. The last time the Mustangs won in the upper division was in 2009.

“It was exciting to win on our home course,” Eastus said.

Robert Eliason

In a sport where it’s a race against the clock, Maddie Eastus performs a delicate balancing act. The Gilroy High sophomore has been the team’s second fastest runner on the girls cross country team this season; however, Eastus also has club soccer practices in the evenings. By the time Eastus gets to soccer practice, she will already have run up to six miles, depending on the workout of the day.

“Yeah, it’s a lot, but I love both sports,” she said. “It’s fun to do both.”

Eastus is part of a Gilroy team that finished fourth in the varsity race of the Crystal Springs Invitational in Belmont last Saturday, a strong event that featured great competition and shows the Mustangs are running strong. Gilroy edged Sacred Heart Cathedral for the fourth spot, finishing with 132 points.

Freshman Karina Rodriguez took 15th overall in 20 minutes, 25.16 seconds over the famed 2.95-mile course, which is the site of this year’s Central Coast Section Championships.

Junior Marianna Bundros finished 30th in 20:58.63, Eastus was 31st in 21:00.10, sophomore Kayla Flores was 40th in 21:22.48, freshman Katherine Turk was 44th in 21:25.40, sophomore Anna Turk was 48th in 21:30.20 and junior Emily Alcoran was 52nd in 21:38.14 as the Mustangs placed their entire seven-person lineup in the top 52 of a competitive race.

Cathy Silva and Art Silva have been coaching the program for 15 years, and Cathy Silva said this year’s team has a superior team chemistry that allows it to run at its optimal best.

“They’re competitive as far as helping to push each other to be

their best, but they’re not competitive against each other,” she said. “It’s all about supporting each other, and it’s so fun coaching kids who have that kind of mindset. The support system they have going for each other is a big part of doing well and feeling so strong mentally.”

The cohesiveness comes out in tangible ways. Take the Gilroy boys team, for example. At the second Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division meet on Oct. 4, the Mustangs had an impressive fourth-place showing, with freshman sensation Nicholas Guzman taking seventh in 17:14 and senior Noe Serafio finishing ninth in 17:16.

FAST CROWD Nicholas Guzman, Noe Serafio and Lucas Bundros help power the Mustangs’ boys cross country team. All three runners have been remarkably consistent this season, and they’re looking to set new PRs. “It showed if we work together and work as a pack, we can beat San Benito.”

The fact that 24 of the 26 kids in the program—covering the varsity and junior varsity boys and girls teams—earned season personal-records (PRs) made the race all the more rewarding.

“For the kids to run so well, oh my gosh,” Silva said. “It was so much fun to watch them and they were so pumped up. We were expecting to run well, but not expecting all of them to PR because that just doesn’t happen in the same race. It was incredible.”

Everyone on the team brings their own unique skill set or talents, and several runners speak up and are able to lead the team vocally. On the girls side, that includes senior Marissa Galvan, who was on the varsity last year but is on the JV squad this season due to Gilroy’s superior talent and depth on the varsity this

season. Yet is says a lot about the makeup of the Mustangs that the varsity girls take in what Galvan has to say.

“Marissa has been really helpful, and it’s good for them to have that leadership and calm, mature voice,” Silva said.

Whenever Eastus is struggling and sees Rodriguez ahead, it can’t help but to push her and stay strong.

“She pushes me to go faster, and I try to keep up with her and vice versa,” Eastus said.

Youth has definitely been served for Gilroy, as Rodriguez and Guzman have come on strong in their freshmen year.

Silva watched Rodriguez in middle school and knew she was a pure runner.

“She just loves to run and has a feisty personality to go with it,” Silva said. “She takes on the course, pushes herself to the limit in workouts and then will smile at you when she’s

done. It’s just infectious how she gets the team pumped up and then everyone starts laughing and giggling. And with Nicholas even though he is a freshman, he’s a seasoned runner because he was running club before high school. He just wants to keep on improving and has a great mindset to do so. He has shown a lot and we can’t wait to see what he does this year and the coming years. He’s pretty special.”

The majority—if not all— of the team’s runners have improved since the season began, and Bundros has made a strong impression with her running form.

“Marianna’s stride is phenomenal,” Silva said. “She’s got this beautiful stride and every time she runs, she’s getting faster.”

The Mustangs are rolling, and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

“We’ll just ride this high that we’re on right now,” Silva said.

Vogel, Christopher inspired to play COUGARS GIRLS GOLF TEAM HAS THIRD STRAIGHT LEAGUE TITLE IN THEIR SIGHTS emanuel lee Sports Editor

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

SMOOTH SWING Christopher’s Sarah Finch hits from the fairway in a recent match.

The Cougars are poised to win their third consecutive league championship.

Robert Eliason

catch up with my swing.”

Navarro emphasized the team aspect, noting even though Finch is the No. 1 golfer by her scores, she plays in the last group instead of the first group. So what makes this team truly a family? Constant support and encouragement, on and off the course.

“When we’re out there and see each other in down times, we pick each other up,” Vogel said.

“Sometimes it’s hard to lighten the mood back up when you’re out there and struggling, but that is why you have teammates there for you.”

Vogel plans on becoming a child therapist/psychologist or grief counselor, because it was the latter that helped her process the emotions of losing a parent at a young age.

“I want to help others because of what I went through,” she said. “I feel that when I was younger, I didn’t know how to express myself. I was a shy child until I started playing golf again. That is where I learned how to become a leader; it helped me be outspoken.

I feel like I didn’t handle it (my dad’s death) very well until I learned how to cope with it.”

Vogel knows she had to grow up faster than her peers, and she has gotten stronger through a very tough situation. David was a longtime city maintenance employee when he was struck and killed by a van while marking utility lines in 2011. No child should ever have to go through the experience of losing a parent, but Vogel continues to bring honor

Robert Eliason

For Samantha Vogel, playing golf has been downright inspiring. The Christopher High senior started hitting balls on the range when she was 5 or 6, but it was simply for fun. However, once Vogel got to high school, she decided to take her game up another level. Vogel’s dad, David, who died in 2010, inspired her to play.

“My dad got me interested in golf and he is the reason why I continued to play,” said Vogel, who is the captain of a Cougars team that hasn’t lost in division play since the 2016 season.

Christopher entered the week undefeated in the Pacific Coast League’s Mission Division at 4-0.

Last season, the Cougars ran the table in the Monterey Bay League’s Pacific Division. With no legitimate standout, Christopher is literally a team in the truest sense.

The five girls on the squad practice and support each other constantly, a big reason why they’ve found success on the links.

“I’ve never been a part of anything like this,” Vogel said. “Before I got into this, I thought it was kind of new and weird. I was there strictly to play golf, but over time I grew in connecting with people and creating friendships to the point where it’s like having another mini-family.”

In an email to the Dispatch, coach Jason

Navarro said the team reminds him of the 2013 championship squad that featured no super star but several solid players.

This year’s team has been able to “focus and reduce unforced errors,” resulting in similar scores for everyone in the lineup across the board. Despite the program’s success, Navarro emphasized he would like to see more girls try out for the golf team, not only at Christopher but Gilroy as well.

Christopher went 12-0 in league play last season and 11-1 in 2016. This year’s lineup includes seniors Sarah Finch and Vogel, juniors Kennedy Ruelas and Kaylyn Scourbys and sophomore Emma Horn.

Through the team’s first four league matches, the Cougars are averaging a whopping 63 strokes fewer than their opponents.

“Horn has the power, Scourbys has the touch, Ruelas has the consistency,” Navarro said. “Seniors Finch and Vogel both have distance and control, (but they) just have not been able to put them both together at the same match. … I let Sammie lead her team, and she has these girls playing well. This team is dangerously close to being the strongest (golf team) CHS has ever put together.”

Vogel shot her best round of the season, a 49 in a Oct. 4 match win at Gilroy Golf Course. She said the key was slowing things down and pacing herself.

“I started slowing down and not rushing myself,” she said. “I know I have to stay slow and maintain my tempo so I give my body time to

to her father in the best way possible: by playing golf, the game he loved.

“His first job out

of college was on a golf course, so I know he loved the sport a lot,” Vogel said. “Going through the

experience (of losing him) has definitely made me a stronger person.”

It shows.

NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 03/20/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. BARRETT DAFFIN FRAPPIER TREDER and WEISS, LLP, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 03/29/2006 as Instrument No. 18863830 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of SANTA CLARA County, State of CALIFORNIA.

DATE OF SALE: 11/05/2018 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: At the Gated North Market Street entrance of the Superior Courthouse, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, CA 95113. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2200 ROOP RD, GILROY, CALIFORNIA 95020 APN#: 835-17-021 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,208,818.41. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

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 800-758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.homesearch.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007377880. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
