San Juan Bautista Mayor Jim West eulogized GRANITEROCK EMPLOYEE’S BODY FOUND IN HIS CAR DEC. 6 Staff Report

➝ Mayor, 2

Bryce Stoepfel

San Juan Bautista Mayor Jim West, who was found dead in his vehicle at his Graniterock workplace on San Juan Highway Thursday, Dec. 6, was praised in eulogies by city and county officials.

The body of the oneterm mayor was found by a fellow employee at approximately 11:30am at at Graniterock facility, according to city and county authorities.

West, 75, was nearing the end of his first term as mayor. He had not sought re-election.

“The City of San Juan Bautista was very saddened today to learn of the passing of its mayor and beloved resident, the Honorable Jim West,” San Juan Bautista Councilmember John Freeman said in a Dec. 6 press release.

“Mayor West was a longtime resident of San Benito County and recently made San Juan Bautista his home, where he turned his attention and tireless, neverending spirit of community involvement to helping the citizens of the Mission City and the local community.

“Jim was also the passionate representative of Graniterock, a company he emphatically believed in, loved and epitomized wherever he went.

“Jim leaves behind many great friends, colleagues and

CANNABIS TESTING High Sierra Analytics founder Thomas Gromis checks equipment at his Hollister laboratory.

Lab prepares for weed HIGH SIERRA ANALYTICS READIES CANNABIS TESTING LAB Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

This isn't your grandad's cannabis business—unless your grandfather happens to be Captain Kirk.

High Sierra Analytics in Hollister expects to open its cannabis testing laboratory within a month, in an industry that has lots of demand, but little supply. As testing requirements become tighter over the next couple of months, a vital component of the booming

cannabis industry will go through Hollister.

"Everyone kept asking when we're going to open," High Sierra Analytics CEO and founder Thomas Gromis said. "I kept telling them, 'When we get it right.'"

Gromis, 34, a Fresno native, worked for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as a freshwater ecologist before embarking on a career in the cannabis industry. After Gromis could not find municipalities near Fresno that offered cannabis permits, he looked to the nearest city that would: Hollister.

"I didn't want to get into growing; that seemed like a race to the bottom. I don't want to chase

margins and cut corners just to get by," Gromis said. "I looked at the regulations and the people who were getting into testing, and nobody wanted to touch the lab stuff because the regulations were pretty daunting."

After Californians voted in the 2016 general election to legalize cannabis consumption, new cannabis testing rules were mandated to go along with legalization. Cannabis products must be tested for pesticides as well as potency before they can hit the market.

Since High Sierra Analytics will be one of about 40 testing laboratories in the state, demand will be high.

There were many hurdles to overcome since the

company signed the lease for the Airway Drive space last year. Gromis needed to provide window shading, magnetically sealed doors and biometric key cards to get a permit. The building at 1851 Airway Drive already had cameras, a gate and security personnel, which helped to simplify the permitting process. In addition to these security methods, the Hollister Police Department may access High Sierra Analytics at any time, said Gromis.

High Sierra’s fee structure is based on entering contracts with growers rather than on a pay-bytest model. Contracts will be based on how many tests the customer wants

per month, with regularly scheduled pickup times that will hopefully reduce waiting time for tests to return. Time is money, and since cannabis can't hit the market until testing is complete, a quick turnaround is essential to retailers.

"The more you do, the cheaper it's going to be, but right now we're looking at around $700 for a single test," said Gromis, adding that they would offer cheaper rates for bulk testing.

High Sierra will focus on a 50-mile radius after it opens, moving out as far as 150 miles as operations ramp up. Most of their business will stay ➝Pot lab, 11

Six contend for superintendent post NEW FACES ON BOARD COULD DELAY HIRING DECISION Scott Forstner Reporter

The current five-member Hollister School District Board of Education convened in closed session Dec. 8 to interview six finalists for the superintendent job.

The governing body was to conduct more inperson interviews with the finalists again Dec. 13 with a goal of identifying one finalist from

that group, according to Trustee Robert Bernosky.

“Hopefully, from that we will have our next superintendent,” said Bernosky, adding that contract negotiations will follow shortly thereafter.

However, the decision comes with a caveat, since three of the five current board members will no longer be on the board by the Dec. 18 school board meeting, at which time the new trustees will be sworn in.

Bernosky recognized that the incoming trustees’ opinions as to who the next superintendent may

differ from those of the existing board.

“The three brand-new board members coming in, if they don’t like our candidate, then we will have to start the process all over again,” Bernosky said.

All of the school board candidates in the Nov. 6 election, as well as stakeholders in the community, were invited to take part in open session discussions and online surveys regarding the hiring process.

However, the in-person interviews are in closed session and reserved for current trustees.

“I look forward to working with (the new trustees) and moving the Hollister School District forward,” Bernosky said.

“The superintendent is key to any school district. If the new board members don’t exactly like what the five previous have decided, we’ll start the process over again. We all have to be in agreement and working together.”

Incoming board members are Carla Deluna-Torres, Stephen Kain and Jan Grist. They are replacing departing trustees Patricia

Moore, Peter Hernandez and Elsa Rodriguez. The two remaining are Bernosky and Elizabeth Martinez, whose seats expire in 2020.

Retired administrator William Barr has been filling in as interim superintendent after former superintendent Lisa Andrew unexpectedly resigned from the post two years into her tenure. At a July 6 meeting, the board agreed to hire Barr from a pool of retired administrators; Barr’s contract was for 46 days at $935 per day.

Man crashes into house in Hollister DRIVER ACCUSED OF DUI, DRUG CHARGES Staff report

Hollister Police

Police arrested a suspected drunk driver who crashed into a house in Hollister the night of Dec. 10.

About 6:24pm, Hollister police officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of Hamilton Drive on a report that a vehicle crashed into a residence. When officers arrived, they located the vehicle that had run into the home, police said.

The speeding vehicle went through a wall on the west side of the home. The front end of the car came to rest in one of the bedrooms of the home. A witness who lives in the damaged house described the impact as an “explosion,” according to police.

A photo of the accident, released by police, shows the vehicle—a Dodge sports car—within a gaping hole in the exterior wall of the home. The front of the car is inside the home while the rear of the vehicle is outside, the picture shows.

“Fortunately, no one in the house was injured as a result of the crash,” reads a press release from Hollister police.

The driver of the car, later identified as Joel Banuelos Ledesma, was found by police a short distance from the residence. He had suffered a leg injury, police said.

Police also located a passenger in the wrecked vehicle.

The passenger was injured, and flown to a trauma center for treatment.

As officers interviewed Ledesma, they noticed he was showing signs of intoxication, police said. Field sobriety tests revealed a “high level (of) intoxication,”

CAPTION LEDE Hollister Police released this photo of a Dodge sports car crashed into a house on Hamilton Drive Dec. 10. and drugs were found inside the vehicle.

Ledesma was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries

suffered in the collision.

He was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving and drug charges, according to police.

Anyone with information about this case can call Hollister Police Officer Martin-DelCampo at (831) 636-4330. Those wishing

to remain anonymous can call the WeTip hotline at 800-87-CRIME. Information provided to WeTip may qualify for a reward.

Jim West remembered for community ➝ Mayor 1 associates in our community, and his presence will be greatly missed.

“The City of San Juan Bautista wishes to extend its most heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends. You will be missed, Mr. Mayor.”

San Benito County Sheriff ’s deputies said they were called to Graniterock, 2391 San Juan Highway, the morning of Dec. 6 by an employee who reported West’s death. The cause of death was not immediately determined,

and will be released pending results of an autopsy.

Sheriff ’s Capt. Eric Taylor.said the death was not a criminal matter and was not work-related.

West had been a fixture in San Benito County for nearly two decades. He not only served as the mayor of San Juan Bautista, he also had been elected to the San Benito County Health Care District and appointed to the County Parks and Recreation Commission. He was on the board of directors for the United Way.

Feds looking at San Benito lettuce fields FEDS WON’T ID GROWERS, DISTRIBUTORS, OR FARMS IMPLICATED IN OUTBREAK Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Barry Holtzclaw

Federal and state investigators have narrowed their nationwide search for the source of romaine lettuce contamination to six California counties, including San Benito County.

As the search continued into its third week, officials concluded that “the outbreak cannot be explained by a single farm, grower, harvester or distributor.”

In a Dec. 6 statement, the Food and Drug Administration said, “Traceback information from four restaurants in three different states so far has implicated 10 different distributors, 12 different growers and 11 different farms as potential sources of the contaminated lettuce.”

The agency, which is coordinating the probe in California with the Centers for Disease Control and the California departments of public health and food and agriculture, declined to identify any of the farms or distributors under scrutiny. It added that “counties may be added or removed as the investigation progresses.”

Information that investigators have collected through Dec. 6, continues to indicate that contaminated romaine lettuce from the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central

California is the likely source of the current outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections. The California counties FDA is including in the region are Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Ventura.

The FDA reported that on-site investigations of farms and lettuce cooling facilities in the Central Coast collected samples of romaine lettuce, soil, water, and scat (animal droppings), and found no evidence of the E.coli strain. Results of water testing being conducted

by CDC are pending.

The FDA announced last week that both the United States and Canada are seeing increasing numbers of people confirmed with infections from the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7. Neither country has reported any confirmed deaths in relation to the outbreak.

As of Dec. 6, the U.S. CDC reported 52 patients across 15 states. Canadian officials reported 27 people in four provinces have fallen ill. The outbreak strain is proving particularly virulent, having a U.S. hospitalization rate of 42 percent. Nine of the patients in Canada have been admitted to hospitals. Two people in each country have developed kidney failure.

In the United States, illness onset dates range from Oct. 5 to Nov. 18. The sick people range in age from 1 to 84. Public health officials expect additional outbreak illnesses to be confirmed.

“Illnesses that occurred after Nov. 14 might not yet

be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill with E. coli infection and when the illness is reported,” the CDC reported. “Twentyfour—83 percent—of 29 people interviewed reported eating romaine lettuce. Ill people reported eating different types of romaine lettuce in several restaurants and at home.”

The “traceback” investigations involve reviewing shipping records and invoices to trace the romaine that ill people who are part of this outbreak consumed backward through the supply chain to identify where it was grown and where in the supply chain it may have become contaminated.

The FDA’s advice to consumers has not changed.

Based on discussions with producers and distributors, romaine lettuce entering the market is now being labeled with a harvest location and a harvest date or labeled as being hydroponically or greenhouse-grown.

A random search of produce sections of local market showed smaller than usual amounts of romaine lettuce, and all of it was marked with the new labels.

Consumers are warned that if romaine lettuce does not have this information, you should not eat or use it.

If romaine lettuce does have this labeling information, the agency still advises avoiding “any

product from the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California.” Romaine lettuce that was harvested outside of the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California does not appear to be related to the current outbreak. Hydroponically and greenhouse-grown romaine also does not appear to be related to the current outbreak. There is no recommendation for consumers or retailers to avoid using romaine harvested from these sources.

Neither health nor food safety officials on either side of the international border named any of the farms or other entities they have identified as

having grown or handled the romaine in question.

An FDA spokesperson said the leafy greens industry has agreed to establish a task force to find solutions for longterm labeling of romaine lettuce and other leafy greens for helping to identify products and to put in place standards for traceability of products.

Jennifer McEntire of the United Fresh Produce Association was leader for the traceability group of the LGMA task force earlier this year.

This group evaluated current traceback programs in the produce industry and their impact on traceability during outbreak events.

Farm Bureau enters its 100th year

GUEST VIEW DAN WALTERS

Newsom faces new red flags for high-speed rail

T

he messiest bit of unfinished business Gov. Jerry Brown will bequeath to successor Gavin Newsom is one of the outgoing governor’s pet projects: a northsouth high-speed rail.

One could even say it’s a hot mess, given the revelations of a new audit of the multibillion-dollar project’s first phase.

That initial segment–100-plus miles of track in the mostly flat, sparsely populated San Joaquin Valley, from Chowchilla to an orchard near Shafter, north of Bakersfield–was supposed to be the easiest to design and build.

However, State Auditor Elaine Howle told the Legislature that the High-Speed Rail Authority’s “flawed decision-making regarding the start of high-speed rail system construction in the Central Valley and its ongoing poor contract management for a wide range of high-value contracts have contributed to billions of dollars in cost overruns for completing the system.”

Furthermore, even as costs soared, the state didn’t come close to meeting the initial 2017 deadline for completion of the segment specified in a 2010 federal grant. Howle told legislators it also won’t meet a 2022 deadline extension “unless…construction progresses twice as fast as it has to date,” adding, “Missing the deadline could expose the state to the risk of having to pay back as much as $3.5 billion in federal funds.”

It wasn’t the first time that Howle and other independent analysts have criticized not only how the San Joaquin Valley stretch was proceeding, but also the project’s biggest issue: a lack of financing to extend it north to San Francisco and south to Los Angeles.

Whenever track reaches that orchard near Shafter, the next phase is supposed to be connecting Chowchilla with San Jose by tunneling through the coastal mountains in the neighborhood of the Pacheco Pass along Highway 152 east of Gilroy.

In theory, getting to San Jose would allow the system to begin carrying paying passengers, because the bullet train would be “blended” with existing Caltrain service between San Jose and San Francisco that’s soon to be electrified.

However, tunneling through the mountains will be expensive and the High-Speed Rail Authority hasn’t found a source of financing, even though the system gets 25 percent of the state’s revenues from auctioning off carbon emission allowances through the “cap-and-trade” system.

Moreover, “blending” the bullet train with Caltrain and other commuter rail systems in Southern California would, as Howle points out, inevitably slow high-speed service. That, in turn, would make it nearly impossible to meet the 160-minute standard for trips between San Francisco and Los Angeles specified in the $9.95 billion state bond issue approved by voters more than a decade ago.

So that’s the situation that Newsom will inherit next month. It’s more than likely that the 2022 deadline for the San Joaquin segment won’t be met, either, exposing the state to federal sanctions. But even were it met, it would be a train to nowhere unless some way is found to extend it farther, embarrassing every politician involved with it.

“We need to make some changes and we need to make them now,” Sen. Jim Beall, a San Jose Democrat who chairs the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee, said during a hearing in late November on Howle’s sharply critical findings.

The need for a bullet train has never been adequately proven and its political cheerleaders have lowballed its costs from the onset, as Howle’s audit demonstrates anew.

Newsom has expressed some skepticism about the project’s viability in the past. However, he will own this managerial mess on Jan. 7 and it could easily become a white elephant on his watch.

In San Diego last week, 126 delegates from 53 county Farm Bureaus gathered for the California Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting, the 100th time that farm leaders from around the state have met to discuss, debate and set policies that will guide the organization in the year ahead. The California Farm Bureau Federation held its first annual meeting in October 1919.

Farmers and ranchers now have agricultural and communications technology that our predecessors could only dream of, and crop patterns have changed markedly. For example, California grew about a million acres of barley in 1918 but pistachios were still an experimental crop. California's 100 million acres of land accommodated a population of 3.2 million then, not the 40 million of today.

But certainly, the founders of the California Farm Bureau in 1919 would recognize many of the challenges we face: weather, markets, regulations, the uncertainties of water supply, the struggle to hire enough qualified employees, and others. I think Farm Bureau's founders would be impressed by the sophisticated way our organization works to address those challenges through advocacy with government officials, the courts and the media.

In its early years, the Farm Bureau formed a Law and Utilities Department to advocate for its members, and the organization moved from Berkeley to Sacramento in 1979 in order to make that advocacy more immediate and effective. This year, the Farm Bureau engaged with every elected official in the California Legislature and in our congressional delegation; our advocates filed more than 3,600 pages of letters, legal briefs and comments on dozens of different issues; and our work with utility regulators saved approximately $65 million in potential rate increases for agricultural electricity customers.

In the 1920s, the Farm Bureau provided farm news via motion pictures and radio broadcasts. This year, the Farm Bureau sent some 600 tweets; responded to more than 500 inquiries from local, regional, national and international media; reached approximately 1.5 million nonfarm viewers through our California Bountiful television program; and kept members informed via Ag Alert, video, websites, email and other forms of communication.

The Farm Bureau formed an organization department in 1929 to help county farm bureaus with membership recruitment and retention, and began offering insurance benefits in the 1940s. Now, Farm Bureau members in California can take advantage of nearly three dozen separate member benefits on equipment, supplies, business services and more, as well as insurance through our partners at Nationwide. In 2019, the Farm Bureau will create a member advocacy department that will better equip us to customize member benefits to the individual and, more importantly, understand more fully what our members need.

Organizations that endure, as Farm Bureau has, must adapt, and those examples show how the Farm Bureau has changed to meet the shifting needs of farmers and ranchers.

At the same time, Farm Bureau remains focused on its basic mission: to work for solutions for the problems of the farm, the farm home and the rural community and to represent, protect and advance the social, economic and educational interests of California farmers.

When I stood before delegates to the annual meeting last year, I noted that Farm Bureau is strong because of our diversity. Now, as I complete my first year in office, I'm more convinced of that than ever.

Each year at this time, farmers and ranchers come together, from the south, from the north, from the coast, from the mountains and everywhere in between, to establish California Farm Bureau policies. A Farm Bureau member in 1919 was the same as today: not content merely to accept the current political landscape but insistent on making it better for farmers and ranchers.

Farm Bureau is ready to move forward into its 100th year solidifying its long-standing role as the unified voice of California agriculture—a voice that serves not simply to make a statement but to make a difference for California's rural communities. I'm confident the original the Farm Bureau delegates from 1919 would be proud.

Jamie Johansson is president of the California Farm Bureau.

•Dashboard Alternative School Status (DASS) Schools. For the first time, the performance of students who attend alternative schools (such as continuation high schools and programs for incarcerated youth) are now factored into accountability indicators. Many of these schools are operated by county offices of education.

Staff report

California’s new tool to assess the quality of public schools, in its second year, expands beyond test scores to include graduation rates, absenteeism, college readiness and other measures.

State education officials say that students, parents and teachers now have easier, more direct access to information on how their schools are performing with the California School “Dashboard” website.

The revised Dashboard includes two new metrics for evaluating school and district performance and a new look designed to be userfriendly. It attempts to make complex data easier to understand. The Dashboard is now fully accessible on smartphones and tablets, and the state says it is easier to navigate

and has improved graphics. The new Dashboard also has the most current data available, including 2018 test scores and graduation rates, according to the state.

“The Dashboard helps schools identify strengths and weaknesses in many different areas that measure success,” said State Superintendent Tom Torlakson in a Dec. 6 announcement. “I urge educators, parents and communities to turn this data into positive action by using it to target resources where improvement is needed and to share practices where success is demonstrated.”

The Dashboard is a key component of California’s five-year overhaul of the state’s school accountability system. It displays statewide data based on “status” (how each school or district performed) and “change” (how much they have improved or declined over time). School and district performance levels are indicated by color, with red the lowest and blue the highest. The

Dashboard also breaks down information by student group (lowincome, English learner, foster youth, etc.) to help pinpoint and address achievement gaps.

“The Dashboard shows us which students have the greatest needs and which areas of our educational system need the most attention, which is exactly what it was designed to do,” said State Board President Michael W. Kirst.

“Challenges that once may have been hidden, such as how poverty, homelessness and disability affect student learning, are now in sharp focus. It also shows us which school districts are succeeding so they can serve as models for others as we build professional sharing networks throughout the state.”

The Dashboard replaces the state’s former accountability system—the Academic Performance Index (API)—which relied exclusively on standardized tests and gave schools a single score.

That system was suspended four years ago.

Winter Intersession runs from Jan. 2, 2019 through Jan. 25, 2019.

Spring Semester begins Jan. 28, 2019 and runs through May 24, 2019.

The Aviation Maintenance Technology program begins Jan. 10.

The cost for California residents is $46 per unit versus $279 per unit for out-of-state residents. Financial aid is available. First-year students who graduated from a California high school may be eligible for free tuition through the Gavilan Promise program.

Gavilan offers academic programs leading to Associate in Arts (AA)

degrees, Associate in Science (AS) degrees, Associate in Arts for Transfer (AAT), and Associate in Science for Transfer (AST) degrees. The AAT and AST degrees provide a clear pathway to transfer to California State University, University of California and private universities.

Engineering teacher wins grant

San Benito High School engineering and

leadership teacher Thien Vu-Nguyen, who also is the adviser for the Robotics Club, recently won a $5,000 grant from Monsanto to offset competition expenses and purchase supplies for the school’s robotics team, according to a SBHS District announcement.

“Being allowed to participate in a second competition is a big step for us,” Vu-Nguyen said.

“Many teams use the first competition as a measure of what their robot can do (by) making sure the robot works properly.”

The SBHS robotics team was only able to compete once in the previous season, so “we were only able to really compete in four of 10 matches,” VuNguyen said.

The team will use $1,000 of its grant funding to purchase wires, tires, additional metal and hand and power tools, according to staff.

Cannabis testing is careful, precise ➝ Pot lab, 1

Bryce Stoepfel

OCD people here,” Gromis said. “Our records are extremely important.”

Sequoia Analytical Labs in Sacramento was a perfect example of what happens when records are improperly kept. In early December Sequoia Analytical was shut down after a lab director falsified test results. Because of the falsification, over 700 test results are now in doubt, opening the possibility of a recall of cannabis products already tested.

The data, whether the product passes or fails, is sent to the Bureau of Cannabis Control, which may audit a lab at any time.

With more testing regulations coming, audits may increase, and with Sequoia Analytical Labs serving as an example, the need to keep precise records is necessary to stay in business.

With strict testing laws, cannabis cultivators will be held to higher standards, meaning that if the cannabis fails to pass acceptable levels of pesticides, microbes, heavy metals and other impurities, the product fails, disqualifying it for sale, and what cannot be sold is sent to be destroyed.

local, in Hollister, Salinas and unincorporated San Benito County.

"We'd like to offer some lower rates here for everyone who's getting in early and work as an incubator to help this community grow," Gromis said.

Demand for testing will only increase in 2019 with additional state-mandated tests for heavy metals, micro-toxins and moisture.

With further testing comes more expenses, and each test could cost about $1,000.

Gromis hopes to grow the testing capacity of the company while simultaneously building working relationships with clients, helping to improve efficiency while reducing costs.

Along with obtaining permits, Gromis faced the daunting task of buying equipment (one piece in particular cost as much as a starter home, according to Gromis,) along with hiring qualified chemists.

Since the testing industry requires meticulous record keeping, Gromis looks for people who have an eye for details.

“We’re really a fan of

precision equipment in his Hollister business.

"The stakes are higher now, and the testing is far more rigorous," Gromis said.

"We're working for the state, not just our customers."

Since getting into the

cannabis industry, Gromis has become a believer in what cannabis can do medically.

"We find out new information every day," said Gromis, who uses

Cannabinoids to help him sleep. "This plant has a lot that we haven't discovered yet. It will change a lot of people's lives, and it already has for many

people with epilepsy.

Unlocking what all these cannabinoids can do is going to be extremely interesting in the next five to 10 years."

four gas-powered shop trucks, four Traverses and an electric cart and to fund the installation of cameras on all buses, according to SBHSD staff.

The funding has allowed the district to replace older, higher-polluting vehicles in

the fleet, including swapping four diesel-burning buses with clean-burning versions. All district buses now have seatbelts. A gaspowered cart used on campus was replaced by an electric cart.

Future grants are

also expected to fund an electric school bus, and an Air Resource Board grant will pay for additional plants, trees, signage and bike racks on campus, according to Kristy Bettencourt, the district’s maintenance,

operations and transportation manager.

Bettencourt reported to the school board on the planting of drought-resistant landscaping throughout campus, the addition of fresh paint to buildings, the installation of a new monument sign on

the 400s campus, the addition of push bar gates on the fences on the West Street side of the main campus, and an inside facelift for O’Donnell Gym over the summer.

Catholic high school denied again LAFCO VOTES 5-2 TO DENY CITY’S REQUEST Jaqueline McCool Reporter

it had been improved since the last time it was submitted, two years ago.

In 2016, LAFCO denied an annexation request—also submitted by the City of Morgan Hill—for a large portion of the Southeast Quadrant with a 5-2 vote. The city then submitted a request to annex only the land for the South County Catholic High School.

The request was denied in June 2016.

The original request was part of a plan to annex most of the Southeast Quadrant bound by Tennant Avenue to the south, Murphy Avenue to the west, Barrett Avenue to the north and abutting an agricultural field to the east. This land has been identified in the county’s agricultural plan as “prime agricultural land.”

The request presented to the committee at the Dec. 5 meeting included 66 acres of land, nearly 40 of which would be used for the high school. Committee staff recommended denial of the annexation request based on several points of the plan they said violate LAFCO standards.

The LAFCO staff report said there was land available within Morgan Hill city limits as an alternate site for the school; the annexation wouldn’t create logical city boundaries; there would be a significant impact to agricultural land; the city

LAFCO

A Catholic high school has been talked about in the Morgan Hill for nearly a decade, but the Diocese of San Jose has run into a series of setbacks getting its 40 acres of land—their preferred site of the future school—annexed into the city.

The latest of these hurdles is the denial of an annexation proposal Dec. 5 by the county commission charged with authorizing city boundary line extensions.

The school site sits outside of the city’s Urban Services Area, so it must be annexed in order to receive city services like water, sewer and public safety. The area the city attempted to annex sits north of Tennant Avenue and east of Condit Road.

Plans to annex the high school site were submitted by the City of Morgan Hill to the Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCO) for a second time, resulting in a Dec. 5 ruling at the committee meeting.

Committee staff had recommended in their report that LAFCO commissioners deny the city’s request, because staff believed the plans did not comply with committee standards. The annexation proposal failed in

a 5-2 vote, with Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman and Santa Clara Valley Water District Director John L. Varela voting to approve the city’s request.

Morgan Hill and the LAFCO committee have a complicated history when it comes to the Catholic high school project and what is designated as the city’s “Southeast Quadrant.” Many of the commissioners at the Dec. 5 meeting brought up past decisions by the committee to deny the city’s annexation requests in the area that is mostly farmland.

LAFCO is an appointed body of citizens and elected officials throughout the county. The committee’s mission is, “Encouraging orderly boundaries, discouraging urban sprawl, and preserving agricultural and open space lands.”

The annexation is considered critical to the success of the Diocese’s plans for Catholic high school in Morgan Hill. The City Council voted in September with a 3-2 vote to send the plans to LAFCO for approval. Council members Rich Constantine and Rene Spring voted against the plans.

Spring has marked his tenure by being an antigrowth advocate. Constantine previously said he could not vote to approve the plans because he did not feel

REJECTED The proposed Catholic High School site, pictured in blue in the map above, is bound by Murphy, Barrett and Tennant avenues in southeast Morgan Hill. didn’t have the infrastructure to provide the public safety, sewer, water and storm drainage to the area; the plan isn’t consistent with the regional transportation plan; the city hasn’t annexed all of the unincorporated land still within the urban service area; and the plan wasn’t consistent with county policies.

The Dec. 5 meeting was tense, with reports and comments from LAFCO staff being contradicted by Morgan Hill city staff’s presentation. Commissioner Sergio Jimenez said, when attempting to make his decision, “You all are viewing things much differently.”

A major topic of discussion was the designation of the parcels as “prime

farmland.” Morgan Hill farmers made public comments about the quality of land in the annexation site and said it was not suitable for long-term farming use.

George Chiala Jr. of Chiala Farms told the commission his family had trouble in the past farming on the land. “That land isn’t good farmland—if you need data to prove that I can provide it,” said Chiala. “If we can’t do it, it’s going to be hard for somebody else to do it.”

Still, many commissioners said it would be against LAFCO standards to approve the annexation. Commissioner Rob Rennie said but he didn’t feel Morgan Hill had the proper plans in place for the annexation.

“These kind of annexation plans would be called sprawl,” Rennie said.

He thought mitigation that was planned for by the Diocese and the city—the two chief proponents of the Catholic high school proposal—would be the best way to guarantee the land was used for agricultural purposes and not development.

“I thought this was an opportunity to bring a school and protect ag land,” Wasserman told the Times.

Communications and Engagement Manager for Morgan Hill, Maureen Tobin, told the Times that the city does not currently have any plans in place following the denial of the annexation request.

WHAT A RIDE Hollister native and San Benito High junior Adam Lemke has earned a ride to race for JR Motorsports’ Late Model program. JR Motorsports is the race team and management company of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is arguably the most popular driver in NASCAR history.

MOTOR SPORTS

Lemke on fast track SAN BENITO HIGH JUNIOR TO RACE FOR EARNHARDT JR. LATE MODEL TEAM emanuel lee Sports Editor

Serious talent

“Having a driver of Adam’s capabilities is very important to the future of JR Motorsports,” L.W. Miller, who is the director of motorsports at JRM, said in a release on jrmracing.com. “We’re very happy to have a young driver of his caliber to continue on the trail blazed by drivers like Josh Berry, William Byron and Sam Mayer. He’s been winning races and championships out West, and we think he’s going to continue to do so here in the Southeast.”

As Lemke was winning races and contending in each of them, others noticed. With all of Lemke’s races being available on TV/video, any of the major players in motorsports had the opportunity to view Lemke’s performances. Lorin Ranier, who is one of the more well-known talent evaluators in NASCAR, got wind of Lemke and started tracking his performances.

This eventually led to Lemke doing a test run with Ranier in North Carolina earlier this year.

“It went really well, and I think that’s when Lorin realized Adam could be the one in 10,000 or one in 100,000 driver who can actually get it done,” Rodney said. “I didn’t think it would be this soon and for JR Motorsports, but Lorin is well connected (in the race world), and he was seeing Adam setting unofficial track record lap times as a 15 year old on his first lap.

That is what caught Lorin’s eye, and he spent a good year finding a good seat for Adam and telling teams this is the kid you want.”

Rodney also credited Chastain,

Hollister native Adam Lemke grew up watching NASCAR, envisioning himself one day as a professional race car driver. The 16-year-old Lemke—a San Benito High junior who is on independent studies—took a big step in making that dream a reality when he was named a driver for JR Motorsports’ Late Model program for the upcoming 2019 season.

JR Motorsports is the race team and management company of Dale Earnhardt Jr., the son of legendary figure Dale Earnhardt and arguably the most popular driver in NASCAR history.

JR Motorsports fields a full roster of four cars in the NASCAR Xfinity Series while also being a key player with its Late Model program. Lemke, who is known for being a cool customer in the race car, finally let it all hang out when the news became final last Thursday that he would be one of the drivers in JR Motorsports’ Late Model program.

“I started jumping all over my dad (Rodney) and messing with my crew chief (Randy Chastain),” said Lemke, who was reached by phone and was in Indianapolis to attend the USAC Champions Night Banquet and the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show. “It’s crazy to think when I first started talking to you of what I wanted to do, and now I’m talking to you saying how I’m actually going to do it.”

It’s no coincidence JR Motorsports decided to put Lemke in one of its Late Model cars.

Lemke is coming off a spectacular 2018 season in which he won the pavement and overall championships in the USAC Western

Midget Series along with Rookie of the Year honors in the RPM Pro Late Model Series at Madera Speedway. Lemke’s race team, which consists of Rodney and Chastain—among others—was remarkably consistent, with Adam winning eight of 12 races in the USAC Midgets, including finishing no worse than third place in any of the races.

Lemke also finished second in the dirt series portion of the championship. In the Late Model series, Lemke earned three topfive finishes en route to winning Rookie of the Year honors.

FAST TRACK Adam Lemke, a Hollister native and San Benito High junior, has earned a coveted ride with JR Motorsports’ Late Model program, the race team and management company of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Rod Wortham, Susan Kinnicutt, Mike and Sharon Naake, Tony Caputo and Sarah Holliday for raising Adam’s profile and getting word out on his dynamic performances on the track. As Lemke’s crew chief in the open wheel race car, Chastain has a bird’s eye view of what makes Lemke special.

The reasons are myriad, starting with a natural ability to be one with the race car.

The best drivers know the precise way to relay information to their crew chief so their race car can be adjusted properly. Every word and description counts in a sport where seconds are paramount.

“He can tell me exactly what the car is doing so we can talk about it and get it fixed,” said Chastain, who has been a crew chief for 12 years and has worked with over 100 drivers in that

period. “He is one of the smartest drivers I’ve ever worked with.

He listens so well and can apply that to what he’s doing on the track, and that alone makes him successful. He’s very studious, listens well and that allows him to take his natural talent to the next level.”

Balers have high hopes for season SAN BENITO HIGH GIRLS SOCCER TEAM POISED TO GO FARTHER THAN EVER WITH 12 SENIORS ON TEAM

Bonner pointing to a couple of key reasons for the change.

“We switched to this formation because a lot of players on this team have offensive mindset and are very good about moving the ball forward and passing the ball,” she said. “It’s a team formation, meaning every play counts, every movement counts.

All of the girls see this at practice and are getting it down. This levels out the playing field for the entire team. For this formation to work, every player hast to move off the ball, pass and think to create opportunities while also dropping back for defense.”

PLAYMAKER Jada Taylor will play a pivotal role as a defender for the San Benito High girls

soccer team, which plays at Soquel on Thursday. Taylor can also excel offensively.

File photo

The poor air quality that littered the Bay Area resulting from the Northern California Camp Fire last month combined with the school’s new field situation forced Bonner to cancel practice multiple times.

In essence, the team was practicing the new formation for the first time in a 7-0 season-opening loss to Santa Cruz.

“We knew there would be some kinks working out of the new formation, but I’m really confident the girls will be looking fabulous by the start of the league season,” Bonner said.

Key players on the backline include Garcia, Jada Taylor, Iana Arreola Padilla, Lupita Gonzalez and Aileen Ceja.

“They’re a very vocal group, which is what you need from the defensive players,” Bonner said.

With 12 seniors on the roster, the San Benito High girls soccer team may have its best chance yet to make the deepest playoff run in program history. The Haybalers are nothing if not consistent. They’ve finished in third place in the Gabilan Division in each of the last four years following their last league championship in the 2013-2014 season.

However, the Balers have lost their opening game in the CCS playoffs in each of the last two years, last recording a postseason victory three years ago. San Benito hopes to reign once again atop the Gabilan Division, and players like Vanessa Garcia believe the superior cohesiveness will prove to be the difference.

“We have really strong chemistry and we’re all on the same page,” said Garcia, a senior center defender. “I think we will complement each other better than in previous years with our dynamic playing styles. I think we’re strong at every position, and even our second string when they come in, there won’t be a big difference from the starters.

Hopefully, that will get us farther this season.”

The Balers have switched from a 4-5-1 formation to a 4-3-3 set this season, with

learn and grow, and they do a really good job on the field shutting things down.

From a spatial standpoint, they’re very aware of one another, which is important.”

Players who are expected to have an impact in the midfield include Laine Lowi, Alex Mendoza, Stephanie Castillo and Juliza Mejia.

Bonner noted the group’s footwork, speed and ability to make smart decisions. The playmaking forwards include Carli Lowi, Mayvene Navarro Molina, Arlette Fausto, Katelyn Teerman, Sam Bloom, Sophie Munoz and Ryen Ortiz. Amanda Garcia and Lauren Okamoto are also on the roster.

The Balers will have a new player at goalkeeper in junior Victoria Carlsen, who takes over for the graduated Mariana Magana. Goalkeeper has been a strong position for the team in recent years, as Hailey Blackburn was solid between the pipes for four years before graduating after the 2016-2017 season and Magana last season. Bonner said Carlson has what it takes to be a strong goalkeeper.

“She works hard and wants to be there,” Bonner said. “She asks questions and is developing and growing every single day. She’s very receptive to feedback, does a good job of hearing that feedback and implementing what she’s told into game situations. You can’t ask for more than that from a player. The whole team has a positive attitude, and I think they’ll do great.”

EXPERIENCED Vanessa Garcia, a senior center defender, provides stability and consistency

on the San Benito High backline. The Balers have switched to a new formation this season.

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. On JANUARY 4, 2019 AT 10:00 am, at the gated North Market Street entrance of the Superior Courthouse, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, Ca. 95113, EXCEL FINANCIAL, as Trustee, will sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States) the following described property situated in the County of San Benito, State of California, described more fully within said Deed of Trust. This Notice of Trustee’s Sale is being recorded concurrently with our Notice of Trustee’s Sale 17-242-A in Santa Clara County, which is also secured by the same Note.

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b) the public auction sale of all of the property will take place in Santa Clara County. The street address and other common designation of

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’s Sale (auction). You will be bidding on a lien. Although you will receive title to the property, placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction DOES NOT automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction you will be, or may be, responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and amount 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, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2924g. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances to satisfy the obligations secured by and pursuant to the Power of Sale conferred in the Deed of Trust executed by Sandra C.
