Local resident was a member of The Terraces of LG's dining committee
Drew Penner, Editor The driver who crashed a speeding Volvo into a popular Los Gatos coffee shop on Thanksgiving night has passed away, multiple sources have confirmed to the Los Gatan.
Karl Klemmer, 90, died on Sunday.
Klemmer, a resident of the Terraces of Los Gatos senior living community, was hospitalized after he drove at a high rate of speed into the Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Co. and didn’t brake, just after 9pm.
On another Thursday night, the cafe would have been filled with bluegrass music fans, but it was closed due to the holiday.
The incident made international news and went viral on social media.
Klemmer was born and raised in Berlin. Those who knew him said he loved wine and was a physically active person.
After 45 years of marriage, Klemmer’s wife Gloria Ann Klemmer died in 2015, according to an obituary posted on dignitymemorial.com. In addition to Karl, she was survived by daughter Majka, son-in-law Jeremy, sister Sandy, brotherin-law Ralph, nephew Michael, stepdaughter Janice and granddaughters Crystal and Ciera.

WINTER HERE IS WONDERFUL, WITH TREE LIGHTING, THE PARADE AND TROLLEY RIDES
Kids get their chance to meet Saint Nick in Old Town
Dinah Cotton, Contributor With the Tree Lighting Ceremony and the annual Children's Christmas/Holidays Parade in the record books, the December events season is now in full-swing. There’s still plenty to look forward to, what with trolley rides, Santa in Old Town and eating, drinking and shopping in Los Gatos. What could be better? (Maybe New Year’s festivities—but that’s another story.) Winter in our corner of the West Valley is wonderful (though technically it doesn’t start until December 21). The hi-tech Silicon Valley pressure cooker is far enough away, and we can chillout, in mind and body. The few remaining leaves continue to fall from the deciduous trees, and deep winter is coming in softly— in foggy mornings with bright cool afternoons.
Los Gatos is a place where the holiday events flow seamlessly. At Friday’s tree lighting ➝ Christmas, 6

NETFLIX DEAL FOR WARNER BROS. IN DOUBT AFTER SKYDANCE MOVES IN
Paramount Skydance’s deal tailored to suit regulators, shareholders
Dan Pulcrano, Executive Editor Skydance’s surprise hostile takeover offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, announced Monday, has put Los Gatos-based Netflix’ blockbuster bid to acquire the Hollywood behemoth in doubt.
Paramount, which is backed by the Ellison family and RedBird Capital, has put forward a $30-per-share proposal and urged Warner’s shareholders to reject the Netflix agreement announced Friday.
Paramount argues its offer is cleaner and safer for shareholders than Netflix’s cash-and-stock package.
Its pitch seems tailor-made to appeal to regulators: The company says its bid delivers roughly $18 billion more in immediate cash value to Warner shareholders and is less likely to trigger antitrust scrutiny.
Paramount also said its deal would be backstopped by Ellison family capital and $54 billion in debt.
On Friday, Netflix agreed to acquire WB’s studio and HBO Max after the company hives-off parts of its business.
What had been billed as a transformational purchase on the other side of the weekend (because it would fold HBO Max and Warner’s film and TV libraries into Netflix’s global streaming engine) could be delayed—or halted.
Now, shareholders or regulators might favor Paramount’s cash offer or raise objections to the Netflix transaction.
Warner’s board has so far negotiated with Netflix, and the next steps will likely include shareholder consideration of Paramount’s tender offer and renewed scrutiny from antitrust authorities.
In what was described as the entertainment industry’s largest transaction ever, Los Gatos-based Netflix announced a $82.7 billion deal Friday morning to acquire Warner Bros. The transaction is almost ten times larger than Amazon’s 2022 purchase of MGM for $8.5 billion.
The agreement to buy one of Hollywood’s legendary studios would bring iconic franchises such as The Sopranos, Batman, Superman and Looney Tunes to the town’s streaming giant, as well as cutting edge contemporary content such as White Lotus.
“Our mission has always been to entertain the world,” said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos in the company announcement.
“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies—from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like Harry Potter and Friends—with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon
Hunters and Squid Game, we’ll be able to do that even better. Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling.”
Netflix, which has called Los Gatos home since its founding in 1997, has grown from a DVD-by-mail service in its “red envelope” days to the world’s dominant streaming platform. The acquisition marks a dramatic expansion of its dominance, adding the Warner Bros. film and television studios along with HBO Max and HBO to its portfolio.
Greg Peters, Netflix’s other co-CEO, emphasized the strategic benefits in the announcement, saying the combination will “accelerate our business for decades to come.”
“Warner Bros. has helped define entertainment for more than a century and continues to do so with phenomenal creative executives and production capabilities,” Peters said. “With our global reach and proven business model, we can introduce a broader audience to the worlds they create—giving our members more options, attracting more fans to our bestin-class streaming service, strengthening the entire entertainment industry and creating more value for shareholders.”
The transaction is expected to close in 12
to 18 months, following the separation of WBD’s Global Networks division—which includes CNN, TNT Sports and Discovery+—into the separately-traded company Discovery Global. That spinoff is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026.
The boards of both companies unanimously approved the transaction, which still must be approved by regulators and Warner Bros. shareholders. While massive, the Warner Bros. deal is not Netflix’s first acquisition. In 2017, the company purchased Millarworld, the comic book publishing company founded by Mark Millar, creator of Kick-Ass and Kingsman. In 2019 it bought the StoryBots franchise from JibJab Bros. Studios and two years later purchased the Roald Dahl Story Company. Netflix also owns Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre, which it purchased in 2020.
Netflix maintains its headquarters at 101-131 Albright Way, Los Gatos, off of Winchester Boulevard. Its four buildings were completed eight years ago. Netflix began in Scotts Valley and moved to Los Gatos in 1999. In 2022, it put its former 160,000-square foot Los Gatos headquarters at 100 and 150 Winchester Circle, which it had leased since 2006, up for lease.
The Silicon Valley Business Journal reported in 2022 that about 20% of the
company’s 11,300-employee workforce was Silicon Valley-based.
In 2010, 44% of the town’s sales tax revenues came from Netflix, up from 31% in 2008, according to municipal reports. The tax revenues were affected from the conversion of Netflix’s business model from physical DVDs to streaming.
When asked by the Los Gatan on Friday, the Town refused to say how much revenue it currently gets from Netflix, citing privacy rules.
In 2023, Los Gatos was a venue for the SAG-AFTRA TV/theatrical/streaming strike, in which members of the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists picketed the company’s headquarters during the now-resolved labor dispute.
The company relies on Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police services. It presented a plaque in 2023 to the Los Gatos Community Emergency Response Team, expressing appreciation for emergency preparedness training and its importance to the Netflix workforce.
According to the County of Santa Clara’s Department of Tax and Collections, Netflix pays $4.8 million in property taxes on its four buildings at 101, 111, 121 and 131 Albright Way as of the 2025-26 tax year.
FUTURE IN QUESTION The blockbuster deal for Warner Bros. by Netflix on Friday remained up-in-the-air at press time, due to a hostile bid by Paramount Skydance, announced this week.

WEEKEND EVENTS SET HOLIDAY SEASON INTO MOTION IN LOS GATOS
Christmas, from page 1
ceremony (“Los Gatos in Lights”) Mayor Matthew Hudes provided a joyful message, with a bit of history—one of his last duties as mayor.
It was just days away from the Dec. 9 hand-off of the mayoral duties to Rob Moore (who will also serve for one year).
“Our community has gathered at this very spot for over 100 years to celebrate this time of the year,” Hudes said. “This event really emphasizes the promise of our youth in this community.” Youth Citizen of the Year awards were presented. They blew whistles to signify the countdown to the next morning’s parade.
Mayor Hudes also introduced John Lochner, soon to celebrate his 97 years at the end of this month, and presented him with a memento of service to the Town. Lochner recalled how “back in the day” the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce office was right nearby. He would help with the tree lighting then, too.
Mayor Hudes acknowledged the youth citizens of the year, who blew whistles to signify the start of the parade activities.
This is a gathering that delights people of all ages. Fisher Middle School Strings and Encore Choir performed Christmas medley songs, and the Harker School Downbeat Show Choir entertained all who attended. Youngsters sat on the grass in the very front with parents and interested onlookers filling up the Plaza. Candy cane balloons, glow in the dark bracelets and hot chocolate were provided. By the way, Santa appeared here for the first time this season.
A safe, fun community evening. Many stayed in town to enjoy a meal out, catching up with old friends and making new ones. A walk along Santa Cruz Avenue is in order in the evenings, given all the beautifully decorated shop windows.
Everybody loves (or was in) the parade
The Children's Christmas/Holidays Parade is sponsored by the Los Gatos Lions Club, Los Gatos-Saratoga Parks and Recreation and the Town of Los Gatos. Their coordination and staging paid off, and the event went off without a hitch. The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department provided a sense of peace and safety, with Disaster Aid Response Team assisting. Both contingents used drones. This year, around 7,000 participants walked, marched, danced, drove bicycles, rode in and on vehicles, were carried, or cruised along in wheelchairs and on skateboards. The Billy Jones Wildcat steam locomotive train, with its distinctive whistle filling the air, hitched a ride on a flatbed trailer. They all made it look easy, despite the detailed logistics involved. And Mother Nature did not disappoint—though there were cool temperatures, the sun was out.
‘Magical Memories’ in the making
Santa will be in his workshop in Old Town (by Salt & Straw) Friday, Dec. 12, 4-7pm. There will be a ribbon-cutting at 3:45pm, with Mayor Rob Moore officiating.
To help Santa to get back to the North Pole on schedule, time with him will be kept brief. If the queue wait time reaches 30 minutes prior to the posted closing, the workshop may close early.
Visits with Santa will also be offered on Saturday, Dec., 13, 1-6pm, and Sunday, Dec. 14, from noon-5pm.
Bring your cameras (and cell phones)
as Los Gatos Rotary elves will be on hand to help take photos. Enjoy live entertainment that will include holiday characters and music. Goodie bags, one per family, will be offered. Check their website for more info. All is complimentary, with no reservations needed.
Arrive early to ensure your place in Santa's workshop. Last year over 800 families and 1,300 children were served. Holiday Market: Dec 13-14, 10am5pm, Civic Center Lawn on Main Street becomes a European-style holiday market. Expect children's activities, entertainment and free popcorn. Proceeds
benefit the Live Oak Senior Nutrition Center. This unique artisan market is sponsored by the Los Gatos Kiwanis Club. Bundle up and ride the complementary trolley around town. And coming in this week's mail: the catalogue-style LGS Recreation Guide (Winter/Spring 2026). It will feature almost 50 pages of things to learn, classes, sports, boating, senior activities, tennis, dance, music, AI education opportunities and more.
What a great place to live, raise families and make lifelong friends.
Happy Holidays Los Gatos!

TEMPORARY MURAL ALONG MAIN ST. TO SHOW LG IS ‘STRONGER TOGETHER’
Fundraiser for coffee shop tops $51,000 as cafe reopens
Dinah Cotton, Contributor
The jaw-dropping footage of the newer model Volvo careening down University Avenue quickly became national news. That car ended its journey in front of the iconic Brevetti Farina coffee roaster inside of the Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company.
When the media descended upon Los Gatos to visit the cafe-in-shambles, I was even interviewed about it for a CBS San Francisco TV news report. I explained the coffee shop has been key to the lifeblood of the community. It’s been here now for more than 42 years. And it’s not going anywhere.
Since 1982
LGCRC founder Teri Hope shipped this roaster from Lecco, Italy, in 1984. Hope wanted to be able to get a good cup of local coffee, right here in Los Gatos.
Over the years, LGCRC has become a valued part of daily life here: amazing exotic beans roasted on-site, consistent brewing, live music and camaraderie made it the heartbeat of town. For many Los Gatans, a job here as barista was their first— as was the case with Hope’s daughter.
After Thanksgiving dinner…
A call came into Hope, on Thanksgiving night, while still at the table with her family: Better get down to the roaster. At least the turkey's tranquilizing effects were kicking in. Hope, almost speechless, immediately began receiving texts and calls: Do you need any help?
People wondered, Was anybody hurt? Sadly, on Monday, the Los Gatan reported online that the driver of the Volvo had passed away. And a Los Gatos Lions Club official confirmed that he was a member of their local service organization. Luckily, no one else was hurt.
The major damage to the building's wooden front and inside areas became visible after the dust settled. There was a hole in the floor, the plumbing was leaking, the piano demolished, the counter was gone, the brewing pots flattened, chairs and tables had been smashed, pastry cases were shattered, and broken bits of glass lay everywhere. Yet the roaster stood strong.
Plywood goes up
Hope’s son-in-law, Scott Nelson, who was at the Thanksgiving table when Hope got the call, was also there at the scene. A good friend of Nelson's, Dan J. Boyd— who owns a local construction company—texted him as soon as he got word of the accident. Boyd’s daughter was in town and had notified him of the crash.
Boyd’s company headquarters are located on University Avenue, so he had a crew based just down the street. Would they be able to come in and board up LGCRC? Yes. Again, stronger together.
The baristas were notified not to come in, yet many did. A fundraiser the Los Gatan set up in partnership with restaurateur Alex Hult and community member Roger Sanford to help the coffee shop rebound, including assisting employees, had raised more than $51,000 by press time. These funds will aid the temporarily unemployed baristas and kickstart the repairs.
Plywood went up to create a temporary façade, so the clean-up could begin.
A large plastic sheet with a Christmas design on it was quickly spread out front,
ahead of the parade. But there was something even better in the works.
The Artist
John Peck is a renowned realist painter and instructor based in Los Gatos. He is known for his classical portraiture and figure drawing. Peck graduated from the Florence Academy of Art, in Florence, Italy. He teaches portrait and figure drawing at Stanford University, Triton Museum of Art and the Pacific Art League. Peck offered to paint a temporary mural for the price of the materials.
The only stipulation Hope put onto Peck, a classically trained artist, was, “The town would not appreciate any nudes.”
Peck proposed multiple concepts and the management team at LGCRC kicked sev-
eral ideas around, too. The mural, aptly titled “Stronger Together,” will become a reality soon. After all, this is what the business does: helps the community become stronger together, one cup of coffee at a time. Stronger together
It will take some time to repair and refurnish the cafe section where the roaster is located. Dylan Phillips, a member of the family that co-owns LGCRC, is looking into other locations where beans may be roasted off-site. This will ensure that customers will not go without freshly-roasted beans over the winter months while repairs are completed.
What does Hope have to say a few days after the crash?
“We are truly stronger together.”
And the town has proved her right.

WILDCATS SEEK FOURTH STRAIGHT DE ANZA DIVISION TITLE
Girls basketball team is on a 40-game league win streak
Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor
The last time the Los Gatos High School girls basketball team lost a Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division game—Jan. 28, 2022—Wildcats coach Sara Quilici Giles only had one kid. Now a proud mom of two children, Giles briefly reflected on the team’s uber-impressive 40-game league winning streak.
“As you’re going through it in the first year or two, you almost don’t want to talk about it,” Giles said. “But by the third year, we’re talking about it, really understanding how special it is and how this might be one of the high points in life for all of us. It’s something the kids will look back upon and recognize how unique, special and how crazy it was. It definitely takes skill and talent, an extreme amount of hard work and a little bit of luck. We didn’t get the injury bug or have sickness wipe out the whole team during a run of games. It’s been incredible.”
The Wildcats entered the week 2-0, having posted convincing wins over Saratoga and Branham. Due to the high volume of tournaments and teams wanting to get in as many games as possible before league play begins in January, December is the busiest month on the prep basketball calendar.
The three-time defending De Anza Division champion Wildcats have five nonleague contests this month before being guaranteed at least three games in the Willow Glen Tournament from Dec. 2729. After a short break, the Wildcats play their De Anza Division opener on Jan. 3 at home against Mountain View.
Even though the program is on a 40game league winning streak, Giles takes the same approach every year, regardless of the roster.
“I always tell the kids on the team and the parents, ‘Listen, I'm not here to win basketball games at all costs,’” she said.
SPORTS
“I care about the girls fighting through adversity and becoming strong people in life. I'm here to help your daughters get through hard things. As a coach, loving my players is using basketball to help them to be strong and functional people after they graduate from high school. If winning basketball games comes along with that, it’s a bonus. As I say that, it’s crazy to think we haven’t lost a league game in three years.”
Now in her eighth season as the Los Gatos coach, Giles will rely on a bevy of guards to fuel the team’s success this year. Gone are Ashley Childers and Nicole Steiner, two stalwarts who are now playing at the Division I level and the reason why Los Gatos was one of the tallest teams in the Central Coast Section the last several years.
“It’s definitely a new era,” Giles said. “I miss Ashley and Nicole as basketball players, but I really miss them as people. I feel that’s where the biggest hole is. Having said that, we have many returners who are capable, players who have also been with me all four years of their careers. We are not big, but we are fast and we are guard heavy. It’s been really fun for me to watch and see how we’re going to play this year. There’s something really special here.”
In the Wildcats’ season-opening 52-29 win over Saratoga on Nov. 29, the nine players who suited up all scored—though none in double digits.
“It was the most balanced scoring game I’ve ever coached,” Giles said. “I walked into the team room after the game and told the girls we’re trying to
find out what our team identity is and this is it—team! We’re passing up good shots for great shots and we’re flowing as an offense right now. It felt really special to solidify our identity—we’re a balanced team. We’re not going to have that player who's going to score 30 in a given game, but we are going to have six, seven, eight players make an impact.”
Los Gatos followed up the Saratoga game with a 52-32 victory over Branham. Senior post Hanna Behnami erupted for a career-high 24 points, a performance that was literally years in the making. Behnami played sparingly as a freshman and sophomore before an injury derailed the first half of her junior season. Amid the adversity, Behnami continued to train for a moment like the Branham game. Here was a player who guarded Steiner every single
FOUR-PEAT? The Wildcats are the three-time defending SCVAL De Anza Division champions and on a 40-game league winning streak.

day in practice—sometimes getting pushed around like a rag doll in the process—but stayed diligent in her preparation.
“Hanna had never scored double-digits in a game before, so it was awesome to see her go for 24 because she’s been working so hard for years,” Giles said. “She was playing in the flow and it was so nice to see. Whether you’re playing the entire game or not playing at all, when you’re on the varsity, you still have to practice, you still have to show up, you still have to get yelled at. It’s special to see how much she’s grown.”
Behnami along with fellow seniors Lola Cuevas and Rita Zhou have been in the program all four years, developing on and off the court.
“The evolution of a player from freshman to senior year is one of the
more incredible things to witness in my mind,” Giles said. “You see the evolution of players who have been supporting players now stepping into their own groove. They’re confident and encouraging their teammates, and I’m so proud of where they’re at and what they’re going to do.”
Cuevas is the lone returning starter off last year’s team. The senior point guard brings an array of intangibles and controls the tempo of a game as well as anyone in the SCVAL.
“The way she goes is the way we go,” Giles said. “She’s a really great leader, holds teammates accountable and is like a second coach out on the court. We’re kind of frantic when she’s not on the court because she’s great at getting everyone focused.”
Cuevas plays alongside sophomore guard Jenna Webb, and the two complement each other well even though they’re both excellent at the point.
“It’s great to see them go back and forth and flow based on who has the ball and who is on the wing,” Giles said. “Jenna is also a really good scorer with great footwork.”
Zhou has come into her own as a vocal leader while providing scoring opportunities for herself and teammates.
“Rita is good at slashing through defenses and getting everyone involved,” Giles said. “She’s a great on the ball defender and it’s been awesome to see her progression. She’s always getting ready and mentally prepared to bring the energy.”
Giles is excited for junior guard Sophie
Riese, who only suited up for two league games last season due to injury.
“Sophie is one of the fastest players I’ve ever seen and probably the hardest working player on the team,” Giles said. “She gets every single, second, third, fourth and fifth effort, and it’s contagious.”
Giles expects contributions from sophomores Kate Langner and Taylor Payne along with junior Kendall Feichtmeir.
“Kate is just a freak of nature athlete,” Giles said. “She’s really improved her footwork and basketball IQ. Kendall and Taylor were JV players last year who were brought up to the varsity for the playoffs. This year, we expect them to do more things on the court. Both are working really hard to improve their basketball IQ, and they’re coming along nicely.”
DYNAMIC DUO Hanna Behnami and Lola Cuevas look to lead the Wildcats to a fourth consecutive SCVAL De Anza Division championship this season.

Astral Studio debuts a new cool fitness option
New pilates business offers non-heated space to exercise
Faizi Samadani, Contributor
Heated pilates studios have taken off across the Bay Area, yet Astral Studio—which opened in Los Gatos in November—has taken a slightly different approach.
Owner Stephanie Bean, whose business is located on North Santa Cruz Avenue right next to Manresa Bread, is offering an unheated space in which to exercise.
After being a trainer for 11 years in the fitness industry, Bean decided to follow her entrepreneurial passion at the age of 36.
While Los Gatos has large gyms with hundreds of daily users, Astral Studio is stepping in with an approach that embraces minimalism—just concrete floors, mirrors, mats and no decor. This simplicity is meant to ground pi-
lates veterans and newcomers in their own athletic drive, while focusing on fostering a space that builds community.
When the stars align
The name astral comes from Bean's affinity towards astrology. And in her case, the timing seemed right. Bean has spent time in a variety of adjacent areas—from plastic surgery for breast cancer patients who needed reconstructive surgery, to going back to school to study nutrition, and ultimately pursuing her credentials to work as a personal trainer (working at Bay Club since 2014). “I managed a few Orange Theory's around the Bay Area, and I really liked teaching group fitness classes,” she said. “And that's where my career went after that. It's been a journey.”
Bean says her long-term goal was to have her own business. Yet, she adds it's rare to see career trainers open their own studio, since most instructors aren't full-time. Recognizing that most of the
pilates and yoga studios were in heated studios, she realized it wasn't the right fit for her. Especially since there is a lot of
conversation around high-heat studios increasing cortisol levels for women. Living in Los Gatos for the last couple years
OF THE STARS Bean stretches on the mats in her brand new space that opened in November. She opted for a minimalist design.
PILATES ENTREPRENEUR Stephanie Bean is the owner of Astral Studios in downtown Los Gatos. Here she poses in front of the mirror as she awaits her next class.
and having started her training career in this town, her goal was to find a space for her to open her own studio. In March she signed her initial lease. All of the classes offered at Astral Studio take place in a cool studio.
Astral means having to do with the stars. Bean says that her studio serves to remind customers of their innate power. “I wanted something that embodied that connection, since pilates was originally created as a form of rehabilitation,” she said. “It's great for people that were injured, and is designed for any age.”
Many of the pilates studios in the area use reformer machines, of which Bean isn’t exactly a fan. She is strictly a matbased studio, at least for now. “We had to get permits to use the space for fitness by the end of July. We didn't do any building, but we had to have the floors redone, since they originally had carvings in them, in the concrete,” she said, reflecting on the history of the structure.
Bean laughs, as she discusses the grinding of cement that was done prior to their opening. (The contractor recommended epoxy for the floors, but she decided to renovate the concrete for an industrial feel.) Bean also dealt with bouts of vision loss, which led her to visit a series of doctors. Fortunately, this improved and she remains resilient.
Building a team
Currently, Bean has recruited four other trainers for her studio. She hopes to onboard four more team members by the end of the year. “I love building my team and seeing my instructor shine,” she said. “That's the biggest compliment to me. My overarching theme is community.”
Rachaelle Strausbaugh met Bean at a studio in 2022 and immediately hit it off, due to their combined passion for pilates. Strausbaugh plans to teach alongside Bean at Astral Studio. The studio (total space of 2,100 square feet) is open 6am8pm, 7 days a week. Bean plans to bring in pop-up businesses in the open space in the back, with a possibility of a permanent smoothie bar.
“Part of my vision was to build the community here, and I view this space as a community space—and not just a workout space,” she said. “And that's why I designed it very minimally.”
Bean has been in talks with the Chamber of Commerce to have networking events in her studio, and says that she's seen similar concepts in southern California, as well as the east coast.
Bean says she would love to eventually open other locations, especially with the success that she's reached within her first month in business. “This is more than a workout studio for me,” she said, adding she’s looking at “collaborating with other businesses, such as outside trainers that would like to have their own classes. When someone else comes into this space and wants to use it too, that's success for me.”

THE LANDMARK LA CAÑADA BUILDING DISCOVER LOST GATOS
A Dutch immigrant’s lasting legacy
Alan Feinberg, Contributor
Let’s welcome the newest addition to our vibrant downtown dining scene, Heritage Pub & Chop House, with a brief look at the history of their iconic home.
With its second-story circular bay window topped by what’s known in architectural circles as a “witch’s hat” roof, the Queen Anne-style building on the corner of North Santa Cruz Avenue and West Main Street has been a prominent feature of our historic downtown almost since the day it was built.
It’s been photographed, sketched, and painted countless times. In fact, it’s so well recognized that our Chamber of Commerce has a symbol of the tower as their logo and a photo of the building on the cover of their 2026-7 Official Destination Guide. Yet the history of this landmark building—and the story of the man who built it—have largely been forgotten.
The property was developed by a Dutch immigrant named Sake Anthoons Hofstra who was born in Friesland, The Netherlands, in 1830 and emigrated to the United States at age 24. He settled in the predominantly Dutch community of Holland, Michigan, where he spent most of his life (with the exception of a brief period in the 1890s when he lived in San Jose).
In 1891, perhaps sensing the opportunity for investment in the rapidly growing town of Los Gatos, he purchased real estate here on North Santa Cruz Avenue. His first project was a single story com-
mercial building at #9-13 and a companion two-story building at #15-17. The latter had five retail stores on the first floor and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) lodge on the second.
He added the familiar corner building (#1-7) in 1895 and named it the Hofstra Block. If you look closely at the photograph, you’ll notice the single story building in the middle, but you may need a magnifying glass to read the faint Hofstra Block lettering on the left parapet.
Shortly after the project was completed, Sake’s name appeared in newspapers all over the state. Much to his chagrin, he had fallen victim to a group known as the “gold brick swindlers.” Hofstra paid
$10,000 cash (about $300,000 today) for what he thought were gold bars that turned out to be made of brass. He never recovered his money, but was instrumental in landing the crooks in prison. He told police that he was such an easy victim, he thought he must have been hypnotized.
When Sake died of heart disease in San Jose in 1897, he left the property to his daughter Irene Wilhelmina Hofstra Markres who sold it shortly thereafter. The new owner, George W. Scott, added a second story to the middle building in 1905, making the three separate buildings appear as one. His original upper floor tenant was E.E. Place’s furniture store and mortuary. It was converted into Mountain Char-

notice was put up at The Terraces of Los Gatos senior living community, where Klemmer lived.
He served on the facility’s dining committee, which gathers feedback from residents in order to improve the menu.
The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department did not reply to a request for comment about the case on Sunday, nor did they provide any information to a Los Gatan reporter who stopped by the police station on Monday.
Klemmer may have been involved in a
hit-and-run accident shortly before his sedan came to rest where patrons usually line up for coffee and pastries. Campo di Bocce, which was closed on Thanksgiving and is more than half a mile away from the Main Street coffee shop, has shared a security video clip of the incident with LGMSPD and the Los Gatan.
It shows a speeding auto passing as a second car is knocked aside and passengers exit the vehicle to inspect the damage. Shortly thereafter, multiple sirens can be heard in the distance.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office declined to comment on the death on Monday afternoon, citing the need to notify next of kin first. Both LGMSPD and the coroner declined to provide information by Tuesday morning.
A fundraiser, set up by the Los Gatan newspaper to assist coffee shop employees, had raised $51,452 as of Tuesday evening.
Last Friday, the business was able to partially open—and host live music again—during the annual tree lighting ceremony at nearby Town Plaza Park.
ley’s saloon in 1972 and now houses Heritage Pub & Chop House. Coincidentally, both this restaurant and Gardenia are in properties formerly occupied by the same family-owned funeral parlor.
The property traded owners over the years, one of whom changed the name to La Cañada (Spanish for “canyon”) sometime after 1912. It’s currently owned by the Farwell and Bacigalupi families who restored it after it suffered extensive damage in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Although his name has long since been erased from the façade, Sake Hofstra would be proud to see that his property is a major contributor to our Downtown Historic Commercial District.

NOTICE AND SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 6, BUILDING REGULATIONS, AND CHAPTER 9, FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION, OF THE TOWN CODE AND REPLACING THEM WITH A NEW CHAPTER 6, BUILDING CODES AND REGULATIONS
TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS REPEALING CHAPTER 6, “BUILDING REGULATIONS,” AND CHAPTER 9, “FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION,” AND REPLACING THEM WITH A NEW CHAPTER 6, “BUILDING CODES AND REGULATIONS,” THAT INCLUDES THE NEW 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING, FIRE, AND REACH CODES AS AMENDED. AMENDMENTS INCLUDE UPDATED FIRE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE AREAS FOR NEW, RENOVATED, OR REPAIRED STRUCTURES, AS WELL AS REACH CODES AFFECTING AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENT AND ELECTRICAL READINESS IN RENOVATIONS/ ALTERATIONS
Notice is hereby given that at its meeting of Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the Town Council conducted the first reading of an Ordinance repealing Chapter 6, Building Regulations, and Chapter 9, Fire Prevention and Protection, of the Town of Los Gatos Municipal Code, and replace them with a reorganized Chapter 6, Building Codes and Regulations.
The Town Council adopted the Ordinance at its meeting on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, by the following vote:
Ayes: Maria Ristow, Rob Rennie, Rob Moore, Mary Badame, Mayor Matthew Hudes
Nays: None
Absent: None
The following is a summary of the Ordinance: An Ordinance repealing Chapter 6, Building Regulations, and Chapter 9, Fire Prevention and Protection, of the Town of Los Gatos Municipal Code, and replace them with a new Chapter 6, Building Codes and Regulations. This Ordinance adopts the California Building Code by reference. The Ordinance repeals and reorganizes Los Gatos’ existing building and fire regulations to adopt the 2025 California Building Standards Code, effective January 1, 2026, along with tailored local amendments. It incorporates the full suite of state codes building, residential, fire, energy, green building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and wildland-urban interface while adding local provisions to address wildfire vulnerability, seismic risk, and climate change. Key measures include expanded requirements for automatic sprinkler systems, stricter roof covering standards in fire-prone areas, enhanced seismic bracing limits, and detailed rules for energy storage systems. The Ordinance also includes reach codes to promote electrification readiness in remodels and incentivize heat pump installation for AC replacements. These efforts will align with the Town’s General Plan by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Beyond code adoption, the Ordinance establishes a comprehensive framework for administration, enforcement, and permitting. It streamlines solar permitting for small residential rooftop systems, sets clear standards for hazardous materials handling, and strengthens fire department access, hydrant distribution, and emergency responder communication systems. Provisions also cover expedited permitting, relocation of buildings, and integration of green building standards into alterations of existing homes. Collectively, the Ordinance modernizes Los Gatos’ regulatory structure to improve public safety, resilience against wildfire and seismic hazards, and long-term sustainability, while ensuring consistency with state law and local environmental goals.
California Building Code modifications include, but are not limited to, calculation methods for building allowable areas, materials and construction methods for exterior wildfire exposure, emergency escape and rescue openings, energy storage systems, photovoltaic requirements, increased energy efficiency, and increased green building requirements.
Please note that the above is simply a summary of the Ordinance. To obtain a full understanding of the Ordinance it should be read in its entirety. A copy of the full text of the Ordinance, copies of the primary code and copies of the secondary codes, if any, are on file with the Town Clerk and open to public inspection in the Town Clerk’s office at Los Gatos Town Hall, 110 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA 95030. Wendy Wood Los Gatos Town Clerk
