Hollister PD avoids use of disputed neck hold STRUGGLE IN GILROY DEATH INCLUDED USE OF CAROTID RESTRAINT Michael Moore Reporter

Robert Eliason

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith would like to eliminate the carotid control hold from the sheriff ’s office use-of-force policy, because there is too much room for injury-resulting error.

Local law enforcement agencies say the use of the carotid restraint is not common. However, they train for it and reserve it as a use-offorce technique in the field to compel disobedient, violent subjects to submit to arrest.

The carotid hold recently gained local attention when Gilroy Police reported that officers used the restraint, among other non-lethal techniques, to attempt to arrest an unarmed suspected prowler, Steven Juarez on Feb. 25. Juarez died after a struggle with officers in the Old Gilroy neighborhood. Police said at least one officer applied a carotid hold and used a Taser and other use-offorce techniques on Juarez while he tried to resist.

for the jail, which said it received its lettuce from a packer in California, which got its romaine from a farm in Yuma, Ariz.

No single farm has been identified as the location of the contamination nationwide, said federal officials.

“The leafy greens community takes the responsibility of producing safe leafy greens very seriously,” said Scott Horsfall, CEO of the California Leafy Green Marketing Association. “Not only are the foods we grow eaten by our own families, but they are consumed around the world. Our deepest sympathies go out to those people whose lives have been impacted by this outbreak.”

Nearly all of the romaine lettuce currently harvested and shipped throughout the U.S. is

from California, which have not been identified by the government as being associated with this outbreak. It is year-round crop in much of California.

The production of “leafy greens” typically transitions from Arizona to California at this time of year. According to the Arizona Department of Agriculture, shipments of romaine lettuce from the Yuma, AZ growing region have ended.

“Because of the perishable nature of romaine lettuce, it is very unlikely that any romaine lettuce from Yuma, AZ that was purchased and consumed in mid-to-late March is still available in stores or other distribution channels, said Horsfall.

In the Safeway store in Gilroy this week, the produce department featured packages of organic lettuce

from Earthbound Farm, in San Juan Bautista, as well as “Artisan Romaine” from Salinas. The store was still selling its “O” organic brand of romaine, which did not state the origin of the lettuce, simply that it was “distributed by Safeway Stores.”

The California and Arizona Leafy Greens Marketing Agreements are considered to represent the U.S. produce industry’s most rigorous food safety program. The programs include mandatory food safety practices and frequent government audits are required to ensure practices are being followed.

The group’s members are required to be in 100 percent compliance with required LGMA food safety practice, and inspections by government auditors, who verify more than 150 food safety

are in the process of also identifying and removing products with full-leaf romaine sourced from the Yuma, Arizona region.”

She said customers also could bring Arizona or “unknown” romaine into the store for a refund.

CDC officials said the new outbreak is from a dangerous strain of E. coli that produces a toxin that can enter a person’s bloodstream and severely impact kidney function, in addition to the common E.coli symptoms of vomiting, painful cramps and diarrhea.

Typically, this contamination comes from animal feces coming into contact with the produce.

The first illnesses were reported in mid-March, with the most recent among jail inmates in Alaska. State officials traced the romaine to one lettuce supplier

checkpoints. These audits take place about five times per year.

In terms of annual eatings per capita, lettuce salads rank second only to potatoes. In 2015, annual consumption of all types of lettuce was 24.5 pounds

per person, of which 45 percent (13.5 pounds per person) was leaf lettuce, including romaine.

New housing growth fuels discussion COUNTY SETS MAY 1 FORUM TO DISCUSS GROWTH ISSUES Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The always contentious issue of growth in San Benito County has prompted Hollister Mayor Ignacio Velazquez and Supervisor Mark Medina to jointly host a community forum on growth May 1, at The Vault in Hollister at 7 pm.

“There are a lot of

misunderstandings out there about where we are with growth, and we want to educate the community about what is happening,” Medina said.

For many in San Benito County, the prospect of further development raised enough ire to motivate many to send angry emails to their county and city officials. The common concern of many citizens helped to spark a lively debate at the Board of Supervisors on April 17, where the supervisors

briefly discussed a moratorium to halt new construction.

“We need to make sure that growth is manageable, that it’s a win for the county and the city,” Medina said. “We want to make sure that these agreements make us whole, and that they build things that help the community.”

Public irritation over continued residential expansion has been common over the years, especially in San Benito

County and Gilroy. As the area’s big tech hitters Google and Apple continue to gobble up available land, developers boxed out by a lack of housing inventory often look to San Benito County for places to build. Buying land here is cheaper, and the market for single-family homes remains strong, as the Bay Area’s economy continues to hum along.

“There’s a lot of confusion about what is happening, even among elected officials,” Valazquez said.

“Without knowing exactly what’s going on, we can’t just keep going down this path saying it will be OK. We need to know how we’re going to pay the bills, how the growth will affect the schools and our roads.”

The business community also has a high stake in how fast, or slow, the area’s population grows.

Growth that many residents may see as too rapid, may not be quick enough for businesses who are looking for new markets.

“When business owners

see new roofs going up they say, ‘Good, more clients mean more customers,’” said Pinnacle Strategy President, and former Hollister mayor Victor Gomez. “When a business hears ‘slow growth,’ the first thing they think is that they’re never coming here.”

“I always say when we involve the public early and we listen, the result is a success,” Velazquez said.

“When we ignore them and say that we know better, it’s a failure.

Students walk out, talk about gun issues EDUCATORS NURTURE PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE WALKOUT DAY Scott Forstner Reporter

Almost all of the Ann Sobrato High School students who participated, one way or another, in the April 20 National Gun Violence Walkout Day were not even born when 13 people lost their lives in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

However, this generation of students wants their voice to be heard and an ultimate solution to be found that puts an end to gun violence, especially on school campuses.

“We wanted to do this today on the 19th anniversary of Columbine and we feel like not enough has been done since then,” said 18-year-old senior Zoie Wise, one of the two lead organizers for a town hallstyle meeting held inside the Sobrato theater on Friday.

“We’re still having shootings at schools that are just as bad as 19 years ago.”

Just over two months ago, 17 individuals were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when a lone gunman opened fire on that campus Feb. 14.

The suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled from the high school, has been charged with multiple counts of murder.

“I feel (the Sobrato student body) is cohesive, but

Robert Eliason

there’s still a chance something can happen. It can happen anywhere,” Wise said.

Wise, along with schoolmate Amanda Sjolund, gave Sobrato students an on-campus option of civic engagement as they invited them to engage with panelists Mike Wasserman (Santa Clara County Supervisor), Larry Carr (Morgan Hill City Councilmember), Gino Borgioli and Mary Patterson (Morgan Hill Unified School District Trustees) and Claudia Rossi (County School Board Trustee).

“Personally, I was not able to participate in the full-day walkout so I decided to stay behind on campus and do something for those students who can’t leave school for whatever reason,” said Sjolund, a 17-year-old Sobrato senior.

“We just want to make our schools and communities safe places.”

Sobrato Principal Courtney Macko and Superintendent Steve Betando assisted the students in organizing the civic engagement event inside the theater, which was packed with more than 200 attentive students who asked questions and listened to their elected officials.

“We have voices and we want our voices to be heard,” added Sjolund, who urged her classmates to register to vote in order to put the right people in office to make the necessary changes.

A similar town-hall discussion was simultaneously put on by Live Oak High School students, who were joined by panelists Caitlin Jachimowicz and

Rene Spring, both serving on the Morgan Hill City Council, Donna Ruebusch of the MHUSD board and Vanessa Sandoval (Chief of Staff for San Jose Councilmember Sergio Jimenez).

Subhed: Different ways to take action At Sobrato, Rossi told students to “reach out and use your power” to hold politicians accountable.

Carr praised the school district for allowing students to advocate instead of forbidding it. Borgioli suggested taking the next step and going to their state legislature.

“I’m really here to listen and to learn from you,” Patterson said. “I want to know what you’re thinking.”

Before the town-hall meetings were fully underway, other Sobrato students began their march from their northwest Morgan Hill campus to city hall on Peak Avenue. Along the way, they met up with Live Oak High School students and any other local students who wanted to create a larger voice.

“I’m really sad because I feel like we need change and I don’t want any school to be the next victim (of an active shooter),” said 16-year-old Sobrato junior Karla Ureta, who held a sign with the message: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Kiana Nielson, a 16-year-old Sobrato sophomore, walked with a group of friends down Burnett

Avenue to participate in the walkout, “because of all the school shootings going on...

We need to restrict guns more.” Joining Nielson was 17-year-old Sobrato senior Nia Lyn, who said she was “on the fence” on whether she was going to walk out of school and take the unexcused absence for the day.

“I think it’s important to advocate for these people who died and advocate to help stop gun violence,” Lyn said. “I’m really surprised to see this many people walk out, but it’s going to help bring awareness to the problem.”

Senior Lauren Buckley, 17, helped organize the Sobrato Walkout and praised Principal Macko for

assisting students in finding ways to foster civic engagement among students.

“I feel like, in order to lead an event, you need leaders from every social group in the school,” said Buckley, who associated herself with the theater and drama students.

This was the second time in recent months that students from local secondary schools participated in a national movement against gun violence with thousands of their peers throughout the country. On March 14, high school students at both sites organized a 17-minute ceremony to help raise awareness on gun violence and honor the 17 victims from Parkland.

OPINION GUEST VIEW

California again ranks low in academic tests

Police should stop carotid restraints

T

wo months after the death of Steven Juarez while in the custody of Gilroy police, the investigation of the exact cause of his death continues. While the police and the district attorney’s office are investigating whether police were responsible, they have said little about the “non-lethal” methods used by police to restrain the 42-year-old Gilroyan.

What police did say, two days after the Feb. 25 death, was that multiple officers used a combination of three things—a Taser stungun, “physical force,” and a neck hold known as a carotid restraint—to bring Juarez under control following a chase through the Old Gilroy neighborhood.

At some point during the struggle, the officers said Juarez “was in medical distress” and they called for an ambulance. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at San Jose Regional Medical Center. A coroner’s report is underway, to determine the cause of death. Footage from body cameras in use by police officers during the arrest has not been released.

Gilroy police said they have not reviewed either the department’s use of Tasers or the carotid restraint technique—or the training procedures.

Tasers are hand-held weapons that deliver a jolt of 1,500 volts of electricity to a suspect through a pair of wires propelled by compressed air as far as 35 feet away. The jolt immobilizes its target, in most cases causing a suspect to fall to the ground. Taser stands for "Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle." It is named after a series of children's science fiction novels written in the early 20th century featuring the young genius inventor Tom Swift.

Taser International says more than 16,200 law enforcement agencies in more than 40 countries use its devices. They are not without controversy, especially with regard

to the numbers of jolts a person can receive safely. Some cities are considering restrictions on the use of Tasers. Some cities, including San Francisco and Berkeley, do not use Tasers.

In Santa Clara County, Sheriff Laurie Smith wants to expand their use, even to allow use of Tasers in the County Jail.

A carotid restraint hold—where the sides of one’s neck are squeezed to cut off blood flow to the brain—is used by half the nation’s bigcity police departments, despite several deaths attributed to its improper application. It is distinct from a choke hold, now prohibited, which blocks the windpipe. To perform a carotid restraint, an officer has to be standing behind the suspect, bending one arm around a subject's neck, applying pressure on either side of the windpipe—but not on the windpipe itself—to slow or stop the flow of blood to the brain via the carotid arteries.

The growing concern is that a small difference in technique can mean life or death.

Sherifff Smith told us last week that she wants to eliminate the carotid hold from deputies' available compliance techniques because of the dangers involved in its improper use. The Hollister Police Department does not use the carotid restraint, and the Chicago and Philadelphia police departments ban the use of the carotid restraint hold.

Police officers need tools to protect themselves when confronted by dangerous suspects. They also deserve proper policies, training and support in the use of these tools.

If techniques were improperly applied and led to the tragic death of Steven Juarez, the department supervisors as well as individual officers must bear some responsibility.

Gilroy should follow the lead of some of their regional and national fellow officers and immediately suspend use of the dangerous carotid restraint holds. They also should review their Taser policies and training to ensure their safe use.

There was a bit of good news for California in the federal government’s latest round of academic test results: It’s one of seven states that registered four-point gains in reading comprehension among eighth-graders.

But that positive morsel in the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress testing of fourth- and eighth-graders released this monh was more than offset by stagnation in other overall trends and, even more unfortunately, by continuation of what educators call the “achievement gap.”

That is the yawning differential of academic skills within socio-economic and ethnic subgroups.

Take, for example, that increase in eighthgrade reading, from a 2015 score of 259 on a 500-point scale to 263 in 2017.

That’s still below the designated “proficiency” level for the nation of 280. While California’s average scores for white and Asian students reach that level, those for black and Latino students are about 30 points lower, a gap that is fundamentally unchanged over the past 10 years of National Assessment of Educational Progress testing. Not surprisingly, eighth-grade “English-learners” in California fall 50 points behind students deemed to be proficient in English.

The achievement gap in mathematics is even wider, with just 10 percent of California’s black eighth-graders rated as proficient, and 15 percent of Latinos, while 44 percent of white students and 29 percent of all California eighthgraders reach that mark.

The latter numbers are nothing to brag about, and California remains among states, mostly in the South, at the lower levels of overall educational attainment in the National Assessment of Educational Progress testing, a position it has occupied for many years. But the results for nonwhite kids, except for Asians, are truly abysmal.

The latest numbers should be a civic embarrassment and are new ammunition in the bitter political and legal war over how to close California’s stubbornly wide achievement gap.

Five years ago, Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature dramatically altered school finance with the declared goal of narrowing the gap.

Most of the strings on state school aid were removed and school districts with large numbers of poor and/or English-learner students were given extra money to improve their achievement.

Tens of billions of extra dollars have been poured into the schools since then, but so far, national and state testing have not shown any obvious results.

The achievement gap will still be an issue for the next governor, and will be a conflict in this year’s battle for state superintendent of schools. It pits charter school advocate Marshall Tuck, who almost unseated state schools chief Tom Torlakson, against Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, a Richmond Democrat favored by the California Teachers Association.

A Christopher High School student is enjoying her school experience much more this year than last year, when she and her family say she was emotionally shaken from consistent bullying for her Muslim religion.

Now a sophomore, the student has not reported any more recent incidents of harassment at school—which her mother attributed to the response of the Gilroy Unified School District.

The 16-year-old is even comfortable enough to participate in afterschool activities, according to her mother.

That was not the case during her freshman year, which prompted the student, along with her family, to have a sitdown interview with National Geographic reporter Leila Fadel last year for a special series titled, “Muslims in America: A New Generation,” in the May issue of the National Geographic Magazine sent to subscribers last week. The article also was posted this month on National Public Radio’s website, npr.org.

The Dispatch is not identifying the girl, at the request of her mother.

The headline that accompanied Fadel’s piece, “Bullied For Its Faith, Muslim Family Fights Back Through Education,” did not paint a positive picture of Santa Clara County’s southernmost city. The experiences of Noshaba Afzal’s daughter at Christopher High shaped that headline. The family was interviewed more than a year ago.

“We were clear with the reporter that we were sharing our story to create awareness and create positive change,” Afzal explained. “We love the city of Gilroy and, for the most part, we haven’t experienced any negativity, but multiple

incidents did occur at school.”

It was shortly after the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, amid heightened tensions regarding race, ethnicity and religion that the Muslim student first encountered bullying from some teenage schoolmates, according to Afzal.

In one instance depicted in the magazine article, someone pinned a handwritten message on the girl’s backpack that read: “I like Trump, you’re fired.” In another, “kids whispered in her Spanish class: ‘Allahu Akbar’ — ‘God is great’ in Arabic —in a derogatory way,” Fadel wrote.

“Our daughter did not choose these situations,” Noshaba Afzal said. “I saw my daughter broken down to a level that no child should be and that no parent should witness.”

Afzal, who has a professional background in education herself, seemed most taken aback by an assignment from her daughter’s English class “involving a Fox News opinion piece that linked Islam, her religion as a whole to a horrific stoning in Afghanistan,” Fadel wrote.

The family immediately notified thenChristopher principal Paul Winslow (also the school’s former English department chair) and current Gilroy Unified Superintendent Deborah Flores of the bullying behavior of some students as well as the misguided English assignment.

“In GUSD, we have a strong commitment to making all of our schools safe, welcoming and free from harassment and bullying,” said Flores when asked about the situation. “We are grateful that (name deleted) approached our site administrators very promptly, permitting us to double our efforts to combat bullying.”

Flores, Winslow (now an assistant superintendent) and two Gilroy school board trustees met with Afzal shortly after being

notified of the bullying behavior. Flores said those talks “led to great partnerships” between the district and the Islamic Networks Group as well as the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“Their presentations at school sites have been well received and have made a difference,” Flores added. “This is a top priority for us.”

Afzal agreed that her daughter’s school experience has improved since those dark days after the 2016 election.

“At this point of time, it’s old news,” said Afzal, who hopes the bullying behavior does not return with the release of the National Geographic article and a story in her hometown newspaper. However, she stood by the decision to take action because “we needed accountability and acknowledgement that this was not acceptable.”

The English assignment that “incited hate” from students toward the Muslim faith is no longer used at Christopher High, Flores confirmed.

District-wide, Flores touted a number of anti-bullying programs that have been implemented, including Character Counts!, Olweus and Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports.

“We want our schools to be places where students feel comfortable coming to us when something happens that makes them feel unsafe or unwelcome,” Flores said. “That is what we have been teaching our students through these various programs.”

Afzal, who grew up in Central California, said she would have liked to see other measures taken but “accepted some of their steps” to help build tolerance, sensitivity and awareness within the schools.

“It took them a lot longer than what we wanted,” said Afzal, whose main objective, like any parent, was to protect her daughter.

“She’s had a great year this year.”

Hollister PD doesn’t use carotid hold Restraint, 1

use-of-force techniques on Juarez while he tried to resist.

An investigation into Juarez’ death is ongoing, and authorities have not yet said identified the cause of his death.

The written use-of-force policies for the Gilroy Police Department, Morgan Hill Police Department and Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office each contain a section on the officers’ use of the carotid control hold. The restraint—popular among many departments nationwide—is typically applied by wrapping an arm around a subject’s neck from behind, and putting “lateral compression” on one of the the arteries on each side of the neck, according to Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Mario Ramirez.

The Hollister Police Department does not use the carotid hold, according to Hollister Police Sgt. Don Pershall. Officers in

Hollister are trained to use and carry Tasers in the field.

A correct use of the carotid hold does not cut off or restrict the subject’s breathing, Ramirez said.

Rather, it is intended to briefly restrict the blood flow to the brain so the subject is momentarily rendered unconscious, allowing the arresting officer to handcuff them. When applied, the restraining officer’s elbow should form a “V” in front of the subject’s throat with a “pocket” between the elbow and throat, ensuring that no pressure is placed on the trachea or back of the head, Ramirez explained.

“It is not a chokehold,” Ramirez said. “At no point are we restricting the airway of an individual.” He added that when applied correctly, “Most are rendered unconscious within five to 15 seconds of the application.

Most regain consciousness within 20 to 30 seconds.”

The written policies for both Morgan Hill and Gilroy police spell out precisely under what conditions an officer can apply a carotid hold: when the subject is “violent or physically resisting,” or the person “has demonstrated an intention to be violent and reasonably appears to have the potential to harm officers, him/herself or others.”

The policies require that officers can only use the carotid hold if they have successfully completed their respective department’s approved training in its use, “due to the potential for injury.” Gilroy and Morgan Hill police departments’ use of force policies also note that after a carotid hold has been applied to a suspect, that person “shall be promptly examined by paramedics or other qualified medical personnel.”

In Morgan Hill, Ramirez said officers rarely use the

carotid hold, which can only be used in tight “body-tobody” contact when an officer is “in an active fight and other forms of force may not have been effective,” Ramirez said. In fact, he said he can’t remember the last time a local officer used a carotid hold in the field.

“But it is a technique we train for, because it is effective when other methods aren’t working,” Ramirez said. He added it’s also an option to avoid using “impact weapons,” also an approved use of force method for local departments, which are more likely to injure the suspect.

Gilroy policy unchanged

Gilroy Police Sgt. Jason Smith said trained officers are still permitted to use the carotid hold in Gilroy following the Feb. 25 death of Juarez. The department has not made any changes to its use-of-force

policy since Feb. 25, but Smith said, “The Gilroy Police Department constantly evaluates our policies to make sure they are lawful, relevant, and they meet the needs of the department and the community.”

Officers in Gilroy are trained every two years in the application of the carotid hold, Smith said.

This training is conducted

by California Peace Officer Standards and Training certified instructors. The most recent training for Gilroy officers was a four-hour session in the fall of 2017.

Gilroy Police Department’s “Control Devices and Techniques” policy lists other non-lethal use of force techniques that officers are trained and permitted to use. These include batons, tear gas (for crowd dispersal), Oleoresin Capsicum or pepper spray/projectiles and “kinetic energy projectile” launchers.

The policy addresses the

proper escalation of force, noting that an officer should use verbal warnings before resorting to physical force on a subject refusing to comply. “When using control devices, officers should carefully consider potential impact areas in order to minimize injuries and unintentional targets,” the control devices policy states.

Gilroy Police also have a “Conducted Energy Device” policy, which lists the procedures and proper use of Tasers.

In Gilroy, officers in the field generally use the carotid hold less often than Tasers, Smith said.

Sometimes, even just displaying a Taser is enough to compel a suspect to comply, he said.

Smith added that there might be some circumstances when an officer has to use force that is not spelled out in the written policies.

San Benito teen gets summer at Stanford HIGH SCHOOL EARNS HONOR FROM SPECIAL OLYMPICS Scott Forstner Staff writer

The county’s most comprehensive site for news and information.

Sponsored by the Hollister Free Lance and San Benito magazine

where she plans to play in the university orchestra.

San Benito earns Special Olympics honor

San Benito High School was recently recognized as a “Unified Champion School” through the Special Olympics Northern California for its “commitment to provide an accepting and inclusive campus for students,” according to a staff report.

The school will be presented with a banner May 10 and has been awarded $550 in funding for this school year “because it provides inclusive sports and whole-school involvement activities such as Gifted Soccer, Gifted Cheer, the Gifted Games, Circle of Friends and more.”

Among its many inclusive programs, San Benito offers a Life Skills Prom, has a peer helpers program and has Circle of Friends make Ability Awareness Presentations to all freshmen in Biology classes early in the school year.

The Gifted Cheer team, consisting of Life Skills students and with the help of the Baler cheerleading squads, performs at rallies, football games and basketball games. Circle of Friends also sponsors Ability Awareness Week in May. “San Benito High School has demonstrated everything that Special Olympics Unified Sports aims to accomplish; giving youth the power to be leaders of change in their campus communities,” said Cameron Ahmadian, the area and regional unified sports manager of the Special Olympics Northern

San Benito High School junior Jasmine Rosales Castillo will be spending part of her summer at Stanford University, after being selected for the prestigious institution’s eight-week Summer Session Horizon Scholars program.

Rosales Castillo earned the residential scholarship opportunity designated for low-income, high-achieving incoming high school seniors to participate in the High School Summer College program, according to the district.

Castillo and the other Horizon Scholars will take seven to nine units of college credit during the summer, including an introduction to college writing course. They will have access to tutoring, academic advising and academic skills workshops while also participating in pre- and mid-summer advising sessions to support academic success.

“I honestly can’t believe that I will get to do something so amazing because I never knew this could be possible,” Castillo said. “I’m excited to get an early college experience. I’m worried the classes will be difficult and I may get homesick, but all of this will prepare me for college. I’m ready.”

Castillo and her fellow students will attend a series of workshops focusing on college preparatory

skills and have a calendar filled with off-campus excursions throughout Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

The value of the scholarship, which was open to a competitive pool of applicants, is nearly $17,000.

Castillo found out about the scholarship opportunity from San Benito English teacher and counseling intern Lorena Fernandez, who guided her through the process.

English Department Chair Carissa Alvarez, who helped Castillo on her three essays required as part of the application, said she had Castillo in her English 9 Advanced class two years ago, “and ever since, she’s come to my classroom every Monday morning to do homework.”

“She is an extremely hard worker and super motivated,” Alvarez said.

“She really deserves this.”

English teacher Dr. Tom Rooth wrote a letter of recommendation for Castillo and Counselor Tim Pipes supported her through the application process.

Larry Lagerstrom, associate dean and director of the Stanford Summer Session, said the program’s goal is to “foster a strong group of Horizon Scholars through specialized academic programming, as well as promote a diverse student life community through the residential experience with all of our High School Summer College students.”

Castillo said she plans to study environmental engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz,

VAPAA building, art gallery ribbon-cutting ceremonies

San Benito High School District formally unveiled the new Visual and Performing Arts and Academics building and a new student art gallery with an April 18 ribbon-cutting ceremony.

School staff, teachers and administrators were joined by local elected officials for

the opening and a proclamation from Assemblywoman Anna Caballero’s office was presented.

Guests toured the twostory structure which houses dance, ceramics and art spaces along with other classrooms, including history and American Sign Language.

“The vision for these classrooms were next-gen, 21st Century mobile classrooms with a flexible learning environment,” District Superintendent Shawn Tennenbaum said.

After the tour of the new building, another tour and ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in the hallway of the main administration building on Monterey

Street, where a hallway between the principal’s office and the student support office has been transformed into a student art gallery. The naturally-lit, windowed walkway features framed art pieces from students as well as ceramics project and a video screen that scrolls through a video presentation highlighting more student work from the performing visual and performing arts department.

Tennenbaum said the hallway gallery is designed to “accentuate the awardwinning art that is coming out of this district and also have a showcase in perpetuity for our students.”

CA says Gavilan is ‘Strong Workforce Star’ INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS ADVANCE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL MOBILITY FOR STUDENTS Staff report

Multiple programs at Gavilan College earned the California Community Colleges’ Strong Workforce Stars recognition for their success in improving student employment and wage outcomes, according to an April 17 announcement.

A Gold Star was awarded to the Gavilan College program in Accounting.

Silver Stars were awarded to Gavilan’s programs in Licensed Vocational Nursing to Registered Nursing Career Ladder and Law Enforcement.

Bronze Stars were

awarded to Gavilan’s programs in Cosmetology, Water and Wastewater Technology, Licensed Vocational Nursing, Computer Programming and Administration of Justice.

Strong Workforce Stars is an annual recognition for career education programs, also known as Career Technical Education, within the California Community Colleges system. The program must show that graduates have made significant gains in factors important for advancing social mobility, a substantial increase in earnings, attainment of a living wage and a job closely matched with the field of study.

“We are very proud of the success our graduates are achieving in employment, earnings gains, and regional living wages thanks to the fantastic work of Dean Sherrean Carr and the career education staff,”

said Gavilan President Kathleen Rose, The 2018 Strong Workforce Stars were given to career education programs throughout the state in 12 industry sectors, based on earnings gains, living wage attainment and employment in field of study.

Those named Strong Workforce Stars met one or more of the following thresholds: • An increase in earnings by 50 percent or more, based on a match to the state wage file, for students who earned a certificate or degree and were last enrolled in 2015-16; • Attainment of the regional living wage by 70 percent or more, based on a match to the state wage file, for students who earned a certificate or degree and were last enrolled in 2015-16; • 90 percent or more are employed in a job similar to their field of study, according to the Career

Technical Education Outcomes Survey, for students who earned a certificate or degree and were last enrolled in 2014-15.

This year, the Bronze Stars, Silver Stars and Gold Stars levels were introduced, with each winning program receiving recognition in one of those categories. Bronze Stars programs met one or more thresholds; Silver Stars met two; and Gold Stars met all three.

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. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 03/08/2005 as Document No.: 2005-0003731, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Benito County, California, executed by: FERNANDO FLORES JR AN UNMARRIED MAN FLORESTELA FLORES, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the attached legal description. Sale Date & Time: 05/15/2018 at 09:00 AM Sale Location: San Benito County Courthouse, Monterey Street Entrance, 440 5th Street, Hollister, CA 95023 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 10 AZUL CT, HOLLISTER, CA 95023 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale.

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-3832. 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. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

JUMPER Ben Hagan, a San Benito High junior, has been remarkably consistent with six of his seven high jump marks close to within his personalrecord range of 5 feet, 10 inches to 6 feet, 1 inch. Hagan is tied for the 12th best mark in the Central Coast Section high jump rankings.

TRACK AND FIELD

Hagan looks higher SAN BENITO HIGH JUMPER CONSISTENT AS HE FLIES OVER BAR emanuel lee Sports Editor

Mr. Consistent

Hagan has been remarkably consistent this season, having finished with marks of 5-10 through 6-1 in all but one of the seven meets he’s competed in. The one time Hagan didn’t clear 5-10 was the very first meet of the season, so one can pretty much throw that result out the window and see that Hagan has been rock-solid throughout.

When Hagan cleared 6 feet for the first time in his career March 24 in the King City Invitational—he also cleared it again four days later in a dual meet— the Balers standout had experienced a breakthrough.

“It was a big deal for me because that was something I imagined getting when I first started this (as a freshman),” he said. “To have finally gotten it was amazing.”

When Hagan produced a 6-1 on April 6, he pumped

Robert Eliason

At 5-foot-7 and 130 pounds, Ben Hagan doesn’t fit the prototypical mold of a high jumper. It doesn’t matter that Hagan is physically smaller than most of his competitors—he’s looking to go higher with every jump. The San Benito High junior is having a breakthrough season, with a personal-record mark of 6 feet, 1 inch that ranks him tied for the 12th best mark in the Central Coast Section.

“I worked very hard in the offseason so I could jump 6 feet this year,” he said. “When I got 5-10 last year, it gave me more confidence and greater goals and expectations for this season.”

Hagan is part of a serious logjam among the section’s best, with the top two athletes at 6-6 and another two having cleared 6-4. A half-dozen of athletes have done 6-2, Hagan is at 6-1 and a dozen have done 6 feet even. If Hagan continues to improve, a CCS podium finish is not out of the question.

However, Hagan will take things one jump at a time, focusing on the Monterey Bay League Championships and getting out of the CCS Trials. A year ago, Hagan went 5-9 in the Trials to place ninth, missing out on a spot in the Finals.

“I feel more confident this year because I know I can get higher marks,” he said. “I have high expectations.”

San Benito track and field coach Rob Macias had nothing but positive things to say about Hagan’s demeanor and love of the sport.

“Ben has always been well liked the moment he started track as a freshman,” Macias said in a text message to the Free Lance. “The older jumpers at the time kind of took him under their wing. … Doesn’t matter what’s going on, Ben is always having a good time. As a coach you could tell the kid had a little something. Then sophomore year Ben starts with a big jump. The best part of that season is watching Ben at CCS Trials competing against guys much bigger than him. But all of his competitors are just cheering for him. He just has that laid back attitude.”

GETTING OVER Balers junior Ben Hagan had a breakthrough last season when he cleared 5 feet, 10 inches

in the high jump. He has since cleared 6 feet four times, including a personal-record 6-1 on April 6. his arms before running over to his coaches and friends in pure elation. Hagan has come a long way in a short period. As a freshman, his best mark was 5-2. Like most freshmen taking up the event for the first time, Hagan admitted he had no idea what he was doing.

But with the help of the San Benito High coaches, Hagan started to get his form down.

Hagan credited Macias and assistant coach Wes Finley for helping him develop and

spending extra time with him after practice to put him in the best position to succeed.

“I wouldn’t be at 6-1 without their help,” Hagan said. “I’ll get in some extra work after practice, and they give me advice when I need it. … “Techniquewise this year I’ve been working more on bending over the bar and trying to get my head lower than my butt, which will allow me to get much higher heights.”

Even though Hagan grew up playing football—he played

cornerback and wide receiver on San Benito’s junior varsity team last season—the high jump has become his single favorite sports endeavor. Hagan also competes in the long jump and triple jump, having established huge PRs in those events this season, too.

From a young age, Hagan has always had an affinity for jumping—“My mom said when I was really little, I was really bouncy,” he said—and now everything has come together this season.

Raquet commits to Fresno State FORMER HAYBALER WILL BE COACHED

word and recognizes the value of staying true to himself and to the coach who showed faith in him first. Will Pac-12 colleges come with offers if Raquet has another spectacular season at MPC? Most likely yes; however, Raquet said Fresno State is the best place for him—bar none.

“Verbal commitments can be broken, but when I’m committed to something, I keep my word,” Raquet said. “The character I was born with and the values my parents have instilled in me, I’m not going to bail on something like this because that is not the way I am.”

Not taking bait

Interestingly enough, Raquet said he could tell after receiving an offer from Fresno State that other schools expressed interest in him simply for the sake so he wouldn’t choose Fresno State.

“There were some schools that wanted to take me away and didn’t want me to play for them,” he said. “One school said they would have me ready to compete for their starting QB position, and I went to their roster and their quarterback situation was settled 1-2-3 (starter and backup positions).”

In talks with Fresno State offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer, wide receivers coach Kirby Moore and Tedford, Raquet said they noted his skills and how he carried himself well.

“They had this thing about me they couldn’t

Describing it as a “surreal experience,” former Balers standout Hunter Raquet couldn’t believe he was sitting in front of Jeff Tedford, the Fresno State football coach who is known for his offensive mind and ability to bring out the best in quarterbacks. When Tedford offered Raquet—a Monterey Peninsula College freshman and former San Benito High standout—a scholarship on April 14, Raquet was floored.

“It was the first time coach Tedford had met me, and he offered which was unbelievable,” said Raquet, who attended Fresno State’s annual Spring Game before meeting Tedford in his office. “I didn’t know how to react. This is a dream come true.”

Raquet already knew the answer in his head, but in the days that followed talked everything over with his parents before making the verbal commitment to Fresno State last Thursday. Raquet will enroll at Fresno State in January 2019. The 6-foot4, 195-pound Raquet is coming off a terrific season at MPC, completing 161 of 278 passes (57.9 percent) for 2,492 yards with 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

He averaged 9.0 yards per completion with a passing

efficiency rating of 154.8, ranking eighth in the state for a team that went 7-4 overall and 5-1 in the American Golden Coast Conference. Even though Raquet started playing quarterback at a young age, he never fully got to show off his skills at San Benito High, which runs the triple option.

Combine that with a player who has grown mentally and physically— Raquet got some goodnatured ribbing for an innocent flexing pose in a social media post recently—and the sky does seem to be the limit for Raquet, whose running and passing skills also drew interest from San Jose State.

The Spartans offered Raquet a scholarship around the same time as Fresno State did, but Raquet ultimately chose the Bulldogs because of the program’s resurgence, Tedford and the opportunity to go to a school he had at the top of his wish list since he was a child.

“What drew me was the turnaround,” Raquet said, referring to the Bulldogs going from 1-11 in 2016 to 10-4 last season in Tedford’s first season in Fresno.

“That is amazing and coach Tedford is probably one of the best quarterback coaches in the nation. To be a part of something like that is something I couldn’t pass up.”

Raquet won’t be able to sign his letter of intent until Dec. 19, meaning he is not binded to Fresno State. However, Raquet said he’s a man of his

RISING TALENT Hunter Raquet, a Monterey Peninsula College freshman and 2017 San

Benito graduate, recently made a verbal commitment to play at Fresno State University.

identify, but something they could feel, how I would fit right in with the program,” Raquet said.

The verbal commitment capped a roller coaster recruiting journey for Raquet, who didn’t receive his first contact from Fresno State until nearly two months after the season ended. That was merely an introduction from Fresno State expressing interest, and Raquet had to wait another month before hearing back from the Bulldogs coaching staff again.

The situation was stressful because Raquet thought he was an automatic qualifier, which meant he could’ve been a mid-year transfer to a four-year school had

the opportunities come sooner. It was only three weeks ago when Raquet found out that he was a non-qualifier—“In the time from my senior year at Hollister the NCAA changed the grading scale I guess, and I was on the bubble,” he said—meaning Raquet will transfer into Fresno State as a junior instead of a sophomore.

“That stung a little bit, but you have to roll with the punches,” he said. “We need to win the American Division Championship Bowl, so we still have unfinished business here at MPC.” It’s no small matter that Tedford wants Raquet as one of his quarterbacks.

Tedford is most known for

leading Cal to some of its best seasons in program history in 2004 and 2006, while also having an eye for quarterback talent.

He recruited and coached some QB named Aaron Rogers at Cal. “Not to toot my own horn, but the fact that coach Tedford has a great eye for quarterbacks means a lot to me,” Raquet said. “His recruiting past has been phenomenal, and I’m just honored to be a part of it. It’s been a dream of mine to come to Fresno State. They’ve got a passionate fan base, and I’ve already had alumni commenting welcoming me and how great it’ll be to be a part of this program.”

O

layton “Ronnie” Bermudez passed away on Thursday after a long battle with a chronic illness. He could light up a room with his energy and have everyone laughing in no time.

Ronnie was a fierce family man and nothing made him happier than spending time with his great big Mexipino family and BBQing for everyone.

Carlos was born April 21, 1972 in Belo Horizonte Brazil, and moved to Sao Paulo when he was young. Carlos married Pam Hodgdon 2009.

In 2013, they moved to San Martin. Carlos worked at Cabrillo College as a software developer. Those who knew him loved his humor, caring, kindness, patience, and passion for living. While we will miss him terribly, we rejoice in knowing that he is at peace, pain-free and able to breathe easily.

Godspeed Carlos... until we meet again!

Services to be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1130 Brent Court, Hollister, CA 95023 A.P.N.: 055-170-032-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

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: $ 568,295.04.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this

case 2014-01261-CA. 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.
