Leapfrog Group’s methodology called “deceptive” by Florida court
Anika Kapasi, Contributor
The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit that evaluates nearly 3,000 hospitals nationwide for its quality and safety, is facing intense scrutiny following a March 6 court ruling that labeled its methodology “deceptive” for penalizing non-participating hospitals.
Leapfrog publishes hospital safety report cards twice a year, grading hospitals from A to F based on how well they prevent infections, injuries and medical errors. A federal judge ruled the group violated Florida’s consumer protection law by unfairly penalizing hospitals that didn’t take its surveys.
While the ruling has raised questions about the ratings system, the grades continue to influence how hospitals are evaluated nationwide—including in Los Gatos.
In one standout local result this year, El Camino Hospital Los Gatos received a “B” in Leapfrog’s Fall 2025 report, after six consecutive “A” grades.
On March 8, Leapfrog President and CEO Leah Binder fired back against the injunction by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks (calling it a “threat to patient safety” across the US) related to five Florida hospitals operated by Tenet Healthcare.
“We vehemently disagree with this decision, as we believe it threatens the First Amendment

Behind-the-scenes magic keeps the W. E. “Bill” Mason Carousel spinning
Amanda Senior, Contributor Saddled on their chosen steeds, children gleefully wave to their parents amidst the festive sound of a Wurlitzer organ. For some, riding the carousel is a new experience. For others, it’s a cherished childhood mem-
ory passed from one generation to the next.
Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad Inc. purchased the W. E. “Bill” Mason Carousel in 1980. After 10 years, and thousands of volunteer hours, the carousel was restored and ready for riders. But the work never stops to keep the historic carousel spinning.
For Cheryl Stuermer, it’s been a passion project.
I find Stuermer in her workshop, window open, deliver -

The whirring power tool is too loud to talk over, so Stuermer switches to hand sanding.

ADVOCATES WARN OF SCAM TARGETING IMMIGRANTS
Take time to check out those offering services, experts say
Todd Guild, Pajaronian Editor
Legal advocates are warning the public about a multistate scam targeting the immigrant community, with some victims losing as much as $30,000.
According to Claudia Abasto Rivilla, founder and executive director of Salinas-based Latin Advocacy Network (LATINAN), scammers target Spanish- and Indigenous-language speakers using information gleaned from social media. They then use stolen identities and fake legal credentials to appear legitimate, she said.
With an already tenuous legal status, victims are often too afraid to seek help or report the crime.
Abasto said victims typically seek help only after being defrauded. She also said she has not seen meaningful follow-through in her own identity theft case, despite reporting it.
Many victims are unfamiliar with what legitimate immigration documents look like, and speak only Spanish or Indigenous languages such as Mixteco, Chatino and Triqui, making them easier targets.
“They come to this country with a dream to fix their situation,” she said. “They are desperate for services, and that’s when they’re targeted.”
LATINAN is a nonprofit that provides low-cost immigration legal services in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz and Bay Area counties.
Abasto said many victims are contacted by a fake company based in Florida, with representatives using fake websites, contracts, documents and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) logos.
The scammers are Spanish speakers, but with evolving technology making locations increasingly difficult to pinpoint, it is unclear where the scams are centered.
“This is a big criminal organization happening all around our country, not only in our area,” she said.
A Facebook page associated with the scam had about 2,000 followers, which Abasto said suggests multiple victims and potentially large-scale losses.
Immigrants are not the only victims.
The scammers also use the names of people and organizations providing legitimate legal services.
Abasto said one scammer is using her name, and despite reporting it to local police and the FBI, there has been no resolution.
She said a victim recently called her from North Carolina saying she had lost $20,000 to a scammer using Abasto’s name. The victim had to take loans from friends and family to raise the money.
“This really broke my heart,” she said. “It’s really bad when I am the victim, too. I live with that every day, and I’m very aware that this is happening every day.”
In a separate case, a mother learned her son had been detained by immigration officials and found an “attorney” through Facebook. She eventually paid $30,000.
“Nothing happened,” Abasto said.
SANTA CRUZ CO SUPERVISORS GREEN-LIGHT SHIELD ORD
Todd Guild, Pajaronian Editor
Santa Cruz County’s immigrant population received an additional measure of protection March 10, when the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance which, if adopted March 24, would prohibit federal immigration officials from using county property or facilities for immigration-related enforcement activities.
The proposed ordinance would bar federal agents from staging or processing civil immigration enforcement operations on county-owned or county-controlled property, including county buildings, parking lots and open spaces.
The policy would not block enforcement actions when agents have a judicial warrant or court order.
“The person doesn’t exist. The son is still detained.”
How it works
The scam begins when victims are contacted through social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The scammers then move the conversation to WhatsApp and send contracts, USCIS documents, green cards and approval notices — all fake. Finally, they demand payments — often through apps such as Zelle — to “activate” the documents.
Advice
• Do not hire legal services that operate only remotely — visit a physical office if possible.
• Legitimate providers do not send photos of their identification or staged images.
• Check web addresses carefully. Official government sites end in .gov, and many nonprofits end in .org.
• Verify that the organizations and individuals contacting you are legitimate.
• Watch for formatting errors in documents and logos.
• Example scam URL: GOV.USSCIS. com (ends in .com, not .gov).
• Be wary of someone claiming to work for the U.S. government but asking for payment under a different name.

Phone: 831-401-4838
(leave a voicemail for a callback).
The ordinance was developed by the newly formed S.H.I.E.L.D. (Safeguarding Health, Inclusion, Essential Services and Local Defense) subcommittee, which also examined how federal immigration enforcement actions and potential federal budget changes could affect residents’ access to county services.
The subcommittee, composed of Supervisors Monica Martinez and Felipe Hernandez, was formed in January to review county policies and assess potential impacts on community stability and access to services.
Those impacts, Hernandez said, are “devastating to families.”
“It causes not only fear, but it halts the daily lives of our residents,” he said. “Children are afraid to go to school for fear that their parents might get detained or deported.”
Hernandez added that some families are making contingency plans for their children should they be detained.
“Residents should not have to live in fear while carrying out their basic needs,” he said. “Access to essential services like health care, schools, public services and food should be a right, yet many avoid medical care and even essential services because of fear.”
Martinez said the subcommittee— and its work—is not intended to replace volunteer response organizations such as Your Allied Rapid Response (YARR), the Santa Cruz County Immigration Coalition and the South County Triage Group.
SOCIAL MEDIA Predatory individuals have been using Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp to ensnare immigrant victims in the area in financial scams.
rights of every American,” Binder wrote. “We will appeal it immediately.”
In the meantime, the company has made some adjustments as it works on its Spring 2026 reports.
Leapfrog calculates placements using 22 safety indicators, made up of 12 outcome and 10 process measures (which each account for 50% of the composite score).
Process measures evaluate whether hospitals have systems that prevent errors before they occur, such as in computerized entries by doctors and medication administration. The El Camino’s Los Gatos location performed strongly here, maintaining perfect scores of 100 across several measures over multiple reporting cycles.
Outcome measures, on the other hand, track complications or adverse events that occur during hospital care. These drive most grade changes, as they tend to fluctuate more.
El Camino Health LG performed worse than in the prior cycle with three outcome measures: foreign object retained after surgery, surgical site infec -
tions after colon surgery and C. difficile infection rates.
(Foreign object retained after surgery measures how often a surgical item, such as a sponge or needle, is accidentally left inside a patient’s body after surgery. Surgical site infections after colon surgery track infections that develop in surgical wounds after colon operations, and C. diff infection rates measure infections caused by C. diff, a bacterium that causes severe intestinal illness.)
Both the foreign object retained and C. diff categories were found to be worse than the national average.
All three of these measures, however, were taken from data measured in past years. Specifically, foreign objects retained used data taken between July 2022 and June 2024, while site infections and C. diff infections used data collected in 2024.
“It’s important to note that the change in rating does not reflect a decline in the quality of care our patients receive,” Christopher Brown, director of strategic communications at El Camino Health, wrote in a statement to the Los Gatan. “It is largely the
result of adjustments in Leapfrog’s scoring methodology and the timing of data cycles used in the Fall 2025 report. Some of the measures incorporated into this cycle rely on older data and do not represent the significant improvements and investments we have made over the past year.”
Alexandra Campione, program manager for Leapfrog’s Safety Grade Program, wrote in an email to the Los Gatan that a more lengthy reporting period is used to “improve the reliability of the results.”
“When the reporting period is longer, we can see how the hospital performed over time, minimizing the chance that the grade suddenly drops due to a single, possibly uncharacteristic, event,” Campione said.
What’s known as the “PSI-90”—a patient safety indicator and composite measure of multiple hospital complications— also appears to have played a big role in El Camino’s overall grade drop in Los Gatos. As the largest factor of all indicators (it’s weighted at 14.9%), the PSI-90 worsened from 0.79 to 0.87 in Fall 2025 reporting. However, the hospital still scored better than the national mean (which is 1).
Since Leapfrog grades are calculated using dozens of metrics, changes across multiple measures can affect a hospital’s overall grade in a complex manner.
“A single-cycle drop can result from changes in any of these areas, so it’s best not to generalize,” said Campione, when asked about the factors that might commonly drive movements up or down the rankings.
For the Fall 2025 cycle, about 160 “A” hospitals moved down to a “B” grade, which was then offset by a similar number of “B” hospitals moving to an “A” grade, according to Campione. About 80% of “A” hospitals keep their “A” grade per cycle, while 26-32% of hospitals move a single letter grade, she added.
“Preventable medical errors in hospitals harm one in four hospital inpatients and cause as many as 250,000 deaths each year,” Campione said. “The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventing medical errors and patient harm. Just as consumers navigate differing opinions when shopping for products, they should do the same when choosing hospitals.”

THE COST OF JEWISH JOY
Confronting antisemitism in the shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains
Jeffrey P. Blum, Contributor
Walking through Town Plaza Park on a Sunday morning, it is easy to feel insulated. We live in a town that prides itself on “Small Town Service” and quiet, manicured peace. But for the Jewish community in Los Gatos and the broader Silicon Valley, that peace is increasingly expensive, financially and emotionally.
Recent events have shattered the illusion that the “Los Gatos Bubble” is impenetrable. From a violent incident at Santana Row to the constant monitoring of FBI reports regarding regional threats, the reality of rising antisemitism is no longer a distant headline. It is a local emergency.
The Santana Row ripple effect
While the recent attack at Santana Row took place just a few miles away, the shockwaves were felt here in Los Gatos. When local victims speak out, they are sharing a story of a localized crime, but they are also highlighting a systemic vulnerability.
In a recent update, community leaders noted that they have been in direct contact with the San Jose Police Chief and the District Attorney’s Office to ensure these cases are treated with the gravity they deserve. The fact that high-level intervention is required to ensure victims feel “seen and heard” points to a chilling truth: for Jewish residents, safety is something that must be vigorously advocated for, investigated and policed.
The architecture of anxiety
Perhaps the most jarring statistic to emerge from recent community reports is the “Security Tax” on Jewish life. On March 12, Jewish Silicon Valley sent out an email in response to various incidents, including the one at Santana Row, stating its security costs had skyrocketed by 200% over the past three years.
While most local non-profits are budgeting for new programming or facility upgrades, our Jewish neighbors have had to divert millions of dollars toward armed guards, surveillance, and fortified entries. At the Addison-Penzak JCC (APJCC) and across our "Jewish ecosystem," the priority has shifted from simple com-
munity gathering to the logistical hardening of spaces.
This is the hidden face of local antisemitism. It isn't always a slur shouted on Main Street; often, it is the silent, staggering cost of ensuring that a child can go to preschool or a senior can attend a bridge club without being a target. We are living in an era where "Jewish Joy" requires a tactical budget.
Solidarity beyond the foothills
The sentiment shared by regional leaders is clear: "You are not alone." But for that to be true in Los Gatos, the burden of vigilance cannot fall solely on the Jewish community.
When we hear about FBI drone updates in San Francisco or active shooter situations in Michigan and elsewhere, the instinct is to check our own locks. But as the APJCC elevates its security
presence "out of an abundance of caution," the rest of Los Gatos must elevate its moral presence.
• Recognizing the weight: Acknowledging that your Jewish neighbors are navigating a baseline level of stress that their peers may not be.
• Supporting the infrastructure: Understanding that when local Jewish organizations ask for help, they are often asking for the basic right to exist safely.
• Refusing silence: Ensuring that when antisemitic rhetoric appears in our schools or on our social media feeds, the pushback comes from the entire community, not just the victims.
Unapologetic belonging
The goal, as stated by community advocates, is to ensure Silicon Valley remains a space to be "vocally and unapologeti -
cally Jewish." In Los Gatos, that means ensuring that our town remains a place where a Hanukkah menorah is displayed with the same sense of security as a Christmas tree, and where Jewish students at Los Gatos High School, and in our other schools, feel as protected as any of their classmates.
We are a community that shows up for the Holiday Parade and the Jazz on the Plazz concerts. We must also be a community that shows up when the "oldest hatred" knocks on our regional door. True safety isn’t just about police presence and 200% increases in security spending; it is about the collective refusal to let any segment of our town feel like they are standing alone. The cost of Jewish joy is currently too high.
It’s time we all started chipping in to lower it.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO KEEP THE MERRY GOING 'ROUND?
Carousel, from page 1
I’m brimming with questions, but I think it’s best we begin at the start.
Why carousel horses?
“I am a graphic artist by trade,” she said. One day, walking through the park, Stuermer ran into volunteer Kathy Murphy.
“I stopped and asked her what she was doing. I shared my background and said I'd really like to have a try. That’s all it took! I had a volunteer form in my hand before you knew it. It was good timing because the second workroom was finished and ready to go.”
It’s lucky Stuermer loves to try new things because painting the 3D form of horses was a new skill to master.
“I started off painting blank horses without carving. There was a real learning curve with specific brushes for pinstriping enamel paint. Transferring designs by tracing and taping didn’t work, so I had to draw freehand straight onto the horses.” Stuermer found support from online tutorials and carousel restoration groups.
Where do you find inspiration?
“Originally, it was a circus carousel, so I want to reflect that with bright colors and showcase similar designs. On arrival, the smaller horses were renaissance themed, chin to toe with fleur-de-lis. Right now, all volunteers are moving to get everything on the same page.”
Varied methods of painting through the years have added difficulty to the process.
“Some horses were painted with latex which becomes gummy with stripping.”
Mindful of preserving the quality of the wood, Stuermer works on small areas at a time, applying the least toxic formula to strip paint.
“The original canvas was disintegrated, the oval frames were missing their mirrors. Previous restorers took great photos and captions, but all of the horses had to be taken apart, re-carved and re-glued. Some weren't salvageable, so a volunteer with fiberglass skills created molds from two of the horses. They’ll be used if we need to create horses in the future.”
Stirring trouble like Stuermer stirs paint, I ask, Which horse do you favor?
“Pegasus! Red and orange, he looks like he’s on fire! He was fun because I had to paint perfect swirls.”
Straight from the horse's mouth. Named prized horse, Pegasus nickers, feeling one’s oats. Phantom and Groovy (the only fiberglass horses) have their chins tucked and legs bucked ready to dislodge me out of the workshop window. Jungo is the biggest naysayer. You can’t blame him, it’s not a fair race when he’s in the buff, lacking any color or dressage to his ornately carved barrel.
Our interview pauses when a young family stops by to watch. Their knee-high
jockey rode Bullseye over the weekend. He’s excited when Stuermer shows him a pink and blue polka dotted design tacked to the workshop wall, but not everyone is as giddy with Jungo’s new look.
One little girl burst into tears as Jungo’s dappled gray coat was sanded away.
“How can you take his spots?”
Stuermer promised her that Jungo’s spots would reappear, and as more children took an interest, she polled their preferred colors. A dead heat finish confirmed equal splits of pink and blue.
The only regularly running historical
carousel in California outside of amusement parks, Stuermer delights in doing her part to keep it in service. Not only has she peeled back paint, but also the carousel’s history. A year of research at Berkeley revealed the English carousel was built by Savage in 1910 and advertised at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition.
How can we retain this treasure for future generations?
“In 2017, we added our ‘Adopt-A-Horse’ fundraiser. $100 is the minimum pledge, with a one year commitment. The funds
cover specific horse and carousel improvements, while giving back to our community.” Volunteers are welcome with open arms. A fun way to donate and keep them spinning in circles could be to visit the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad this weekend and saddle-up a horse!
The Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad’s spring schedule is currently in effect: 10:30am4:40pm Saturdays and Sundays. Applications can be found online at bjwrr.org/volunteers.

SCHWEITZER EXCELS ON AND OFF THE FIELD
Los Gatos senior earns prestigious honor
Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor
Whether under the glare of the Friday Night Lights or in the air-conditioned classroom, Callum Schweitzer's excellence knows no bounds.
Schweitzer earned the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division Player of the Year honors last season as quarterback for the Los Gatos High School Wildcats, while maintaining a 3.85 GPA.
His performance culminated in a 2026 National Football Foundation Northern California Scholar-Athlete Award, which recognizes a student-athlete’s ability to balance athletics with classroom duties, while contributing to the wider community.
And so, one night before the Oscars, Schweitzer had his moment in the spotlight, alongside 23 other seniors from Northern California.
The annual awards ceremony was held March 14 at the Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco, which is located in Redwood City.
“There were a lot of impressive resumes from all the other athletes, and being a part of that group was special,” the Yale University-bound Schweitzer said. “I really enjoyed being around a bunch of other motivated student-athletes and seeing all the amazing things they’ve done.”
Last season, Schweitzer led the Wildcats to a league championship and Central Coast Section Division I title game appearance. He completed 66.7% of his passes and threw for 2,452 yards, with 25 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. Schweitzer was equally potent with his feet, finishing as the team’s second-leading rusher.
He averaged 7.1 yards per carry and ran for eight touchdowns. When plays break down as they inevitably do in a football game, Schweitzer had the athleticism to make something out of nothing. His explosive playmaking ability, accurate passes and laser-like focus on the field paired with his diligence and work ethic in the classroom made him a model student-athlete whose impact extends far beyond the gridiron.
“Callum represents the very best of what we hope for in our student-athletes,” Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District Superintendent Heath
Rocha said in a press release. “His commitment to excellence in the classroom, on the football field, and in his future at Yale reflects the values we strive to instill in all of our students. We are incredibly proud of his accomplishments and excited to see all that he will achieve.”
During the awards ceremony, a highlight video was shown for each honoree. When Schweitzer’s video clips came on the screen, he had a mixture of emotions.
“It was definitely bittersweet,” he said. “There were so many good memories, but I definitely miss it at times already. It was cool to look back and have those memories, especially at a place like Los Gatos.”
Entering his junior year, Schweitzer didn't exactly have four-year programs knocking at his door. Schweitzer did have a breakout season that fall 2024 season— albeit as a part-time starter—and continued to make rapid improvement in the off-season heading into his senior year.
“Going into the end of my junior year, I thought about the place I was in recruiting where nothing was really happening,” Schweitzer said. “So, I started to think about and break down schools to target. I thought the Ivy League schools were a good target for me, a good fit because of my academics. But if you told me two years ago I’d end up going to Yale, I’d probably look at you and say you were insane.”
The Yale coaching staff reached out to Schweitzer after the first game of the 2025 season, a contest in which Schweitzer threw for 206 yards while run -
ning for 63 more. He had five TDs (four passing, one running), a preview for what was to come. The relationship between both parties started to build from there, leading to one of the seminal moments in Schweitzer’s life last October.
That’s when Yale offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Chris Ostrowsky told Schweitzer over the phone that Yale was offering him a spot on the team.
“Being on the phone and receiving that offer was absolutely mind-boggling,” Schweitzer said. “It was an absolute blessing. I was just blown away with the opportunity. It shows what’s possible when you put your head down and work, stay consistent in the classroom and focus on what you can control. When you do those things, the sky’s the limit for anybody.”
Even though Schweitzer had a sense Yale was going to make an offer, reality turned out to be better than anything he could’ve possibly imagined.
“When it actually happened, I was speechless,” said Schweitzer, who committed to Yale on Jan. 5.
After Schweitzer got off the phone with Ostrowsky, he immediately called his parents.
“They were out doing groceries and when I told them, my mom started crying,” Callum said. “And after that, I Facetimed both of my brothers (Will and Tate). That was a really cool moment as well.”
Schweitzer credits his parents, John and Chris, for instilling in him the importance of academics, work ethic and
being responsible in all facets of life. Callum’s brothers, Will and Tate, were instrumental in his development in both the physical and mental side of sports. Will and Tate showed Callum the way, as both played football and excelled academically at LGHS. The intangibles that helped Callum get to this point—grit, perseverance and competitiveness— were in no small part aided by Will and Tate’s influence.
Callum’s brothers pushed him in the best possible way, sharpening both his athletic ability and his mental toughness. Their constant encouragement and competitive edge helped shape Callum’s resilience and drive that defined him on and off the field.
“That’s something I'm grateful for, is the way they pushed me in so many positive ways,” he said. “They’ve always been supportive and are my two best friends.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE
The path toward a safer e-bike landscape in Los Gatos
Cities Association of Santa Clara County takes on the issue as a major priority
Rob Moore, Los Gatos Mayor
One of the things I love most about Los Gatos is how easy it is to get around on two wheels.
Whether it’s families riding along the Los Gatos Creek Trail, students biking to school, or neighbors choosing a bike instead of a car for short trips, biking has long been part of our community’s culture. In recent years, electric bicycles have made that even easier, becoming a convenient and environmentally friendly way for students, older adults and families to get around.
But as e-bikes have grown in popularity, so have concerns about safety.
Over the past year, I’ve heard from many concerned residents about risky behavior involving e-bikes, and I’ve seen quite a bit of it myself. Parents pushing strollers have described close calls, and drivers have had to take abrupt action to avoid young riders weaving through traffic or ignoring stop signs. I worry someone will be seriously hurt if things don’t change.
As a former teenage boy, I understand the appeal. If 14-year-old me had access to what kids have now, I would have gotten myself into trouble.
To begin, a basic distinction is important: not all “e-bikes” are the same.
Under California law, legal e-bikes fall into three classes, with the fastest capable of reaching 28 miles per hour with pedal assistance. When ridden responsibly, they can be a safe and practical form of transportation.
Most of the concerning behavior we’re seeing is not on these traditional e-bikes. Rather, the most dangerous riding involves high-powered electric motorcycles (motors >750W) and illegally modified throttle-assist e-bikes. Many of these e-motorcycles have no pedals, can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour or more, and are illegal to ride on public streets without registration and licensing.
These e-motorcycles often cost several thousand dollars, meaning teenagers aren’t buying them with their lunch money. In most cases, parents purchase them, often unaware they are illegal. Unfortunately, e-motorcycles are increasingly ridden by young people who may not fully understand the risks or the rules of the road.
Research shows e-bike users face higher odds of injury than traditional cyclists, and younger riders have particularly high crash rates. While Los Gatos has not seen a surge in serious crashes, we have had injury-causing collisions, and the potential for harm is real. Both Half Moon Bay
and Davis have experienced fatal e-motorcycle crashes in the past month alone. Our responsibility as a community is to address the issue before tragedy occurs.
Last year, fellow Council member Maria Ristow and I brought forward a recommendation for a four-pronged approach to achieve e-bike safety in Los Gatos. It consists of education, registration, legislation, and enforcement. Work to implement these ideas continues, and many of the efforts described below reflect that approach.
At Los Gatos High School, administrators recently introduced a bicycle registration and safety training program for students who ride to campus. Students watch a safety video, complete quizzes on traffic laws and road etiquette, and register their bikes. Most riders have gone through this process, and the program is reducing the number of illegal e-motorcycles being brought to school. Other schools serving Los Gatos are now exploring similar programs.
The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department has increased enforcement, stepped up its presence around schools and expanded education about e-bike laws.
You may have seen our motorcycle officer pulling over riders on illegal e-motorcycles.
Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Safe Routes to School continues to provide excellent safety education to students and families about responsible riding. Together, these efforts reflect an approach focused on education, enforcement and clearer regulations.
Looking ahead, I’ve been working to help families better understand the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motorcycles before making a purchase. It is important to know that all three Los Gatos bike shops—Mike’s Bikes, Summit Bicycles and Specialized—sell only legal e-bikes. Buying locally supports our small businesses and helps ensure you’re purchasing something safe and legal to ride.
Vice Mayor Ristow and I are also working with a group of Hillbrook students to create educational resources that make the rules around e-bikes easier to understand. Our hope is that young people can help create messages that resonate with their peers.
I’ve been pushing for broader regional action. Last month, the Cities Association of Santa Clara County, representing all 15 cities in the county, adopted e-bike
safety as one of its top three priorities for the year. I’m also tracking state legislation that would clarify the distinction between legitimate e-bikes and illegal e-motorcycles, prohibit marketing e-motorcycles as e-bikes, and require students statewide to complete an e-bike safety program.
No town or school district can solve this problem alone, which is why regional collaboration is so important.
I want the Los Gatos community to know that I take this issue seriously and will continue working with our schools, the police department, regional partners and state legislators to improve safety. My goal is for residents to enjoy the real benefits of e-bikes while curbing the proliferation of e-motorcycles so our streets and trails remain safe for everyone.
E-bikes are a valuable transportation option, and I want them to remain part of life for people in Los Gatos. But like any powerful technology, they come with responsibility. If we work together as parents, students, neighbors, schools, law enforcement and local government, we can ensure Los Gatos remains a place where people of all ages can enjoy getting around safely on two wheels.

TRADITION The Cat's Hill Classic has been going strong since 1974, except for a pause during the pandemic.
CAT'S HILL 50TH ANNIVERSARY THIS SATURDAY
San Jose Bicycle Club gets ready for this year's race
Faizi Samadani, Contributor
This Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the San Jose Bicycle Club's Cat's Hill Classic bike race which starts and finishes in Los Gatos. Beginning at 8am on Saturday, March 21, participants of all ages gather at the corner of Tait and Nicholson avenues, and spectators can come and view the racers in the historic Almond Grove District in downtown Los Gatos.
The race takes places in a one-mile loop, and kids race free with a pre-registration required on the day. A hallmark race like the Cat's Hill invites locals to be part of a tradition that promotes community and encourages healthy lifestyles. And this year, Lamborghini Los Gatos will handle lead-out duties.
50 years of Cat's Hill
The first Cat's Hill took place in 1974 and was put on by the Los Gatos Bicycle Club. It’s now run by the San Jose Bicycle Club. A couple years were missed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which is why they are still celebrating this year as the 50th anniversary.
That makes it “one of the very few races in the United States that's been able to achieve this milestone,” said race director Diana Hellman. Famous bicyclist Greg Lemond has biked in the Cat's Hill multiple times (he won the Tour de France in 1986, 1989 and 1990).
“This race has been known among cyclists for a long time as a very important race to many cyclists,” Hellman added. “And because it's gone on for so long, they are able to close the roads and also receive a lot of support in the neighborhood with watch parties to enjoy the race.”
Another other well-known participant is Megan Guarnier, who rode for Rabobank-Liv Giant, Boels-Dolmans and Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank teams.

Food less traveled
Prioritize your wellbeing and Bay Area biodiversity and stop by the Farmers’ Market
Susan Campbell, Contributor
Over 20 local family farms grow seasonal produce for the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market. These small farms feed thousands of households in the region! It is because of our community that these small farms can continue to grow year after year!
Produce at the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market travels an average of 58.6 miles! Local farms bring their produce directly to market, reducing the overall carbon footprint from farm to plate! The produce you see at market is harvested by hand, at the perfect point of ripeness. This shows up as peak flavor and higher nutritional content. Small farms are able to grow unique varieties because of
a shorter distance to market and selling direct to the community.
This is a stark contrast to most other food channels. Eating out-of-season produce means that it has not been grown locally and has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles, from different countries around the world. Produce shipped long distances goes through many different modes of transportation and distribution channels, often traveling by plane, cargo container and then semi truck. Out-of-season produce often lacks the iconic flavor we crave. How do we bypass this? Try adding seasonal ingredients to recipes whenever possible.
One of my favorite things about the farmers’ market is being able to get to know who is growing our food. This is a rewarding way to stay connected to the community and region. Having a conversation with the people that grow our
food, often ends up in learning something new, discovering a “new to me” variety and inspiration to cook something new. If you are curious about how to prepare certain types of produce feel free to ask the vendor. I often like to ask the vendor what their favorite product is right now. This usually leads me to try something that has peak seasonal flavor.
Many of the people working at the market are involved in different aspects of the farming process like sowing the seeds, driving the tractors or operating equipment, tending the crops, harvesting and preparing produce for the market. So much time, skill, knowledge and care goes into cultivating crops season after season.
Farmers are some of the most resilient people I know. Supporting small farms is preserving farmland and a way of life. Farmers are masters of their trade and carry years, decades and even generations of experience. They show up rain or shine. The weather decides what kind of yield there will be. This is the time of year when many farmers are planning ahead and planting summer crops alongside harvesting winter crops.
Sundays at the market are special here in Los Gatos. Over the years I have seen new friendships form, families connect and children grow. The farmers’ market is a community hub where we can get to know our neighbors, reconnect after the hustle and bustle of the week and enjoy the beauty of the park.
What’s in season? Cool weather crops like citrus, brassicas, root veggies, lettuce, bunched greens and more. Spring garlic and spring onions are in season and a must have for any foodie. The season does go by fast. Watsonville grown strawberries are making a return to market. What’s new at market? We are excited to have raw milk available and will soon be bringing in freshly squeezed orange juice! Looking ahead, the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market will be closed Easter Sunday, April 5. Cherries will arrive in May. Family focused events, like the Zucchini Car Races and Kids Day will return this summer!
Susan Campbell has been the market manager of Los Gatos Farmers' Market since 2022.
VIBRANT In addition to classic produce options, recent additions to the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market have included a flower stand, organic wine and avocados, raw milk and rotisserie chickens.

Small changes at home can make a big difference
How to think about refreshing it for spring
By Janis Mara
The rain is gone, spring is almost here and it’s a great time to refresh your home. It doesn’t have to be expensive or exhausting—maybe a fresh coat of paint, new colors, new lighting and a window-washing, Bay Area designers said.
Small changes can have a big visual impact, according to Kanika Khurana, principal interior designer for Kanika Design.
“I love swapping winter textures for spring-forward soft goods—lightweight linen pillows, airy curtains and brighter rugs,” Khurana said.
Anna Jacoby of Anna Jacoby Interiors seemed to be on the same page.
“You can replace your fall look with nice fresh springtime colors,” Jacoby said. “Consider changing out the throw pillows on the sofa, as well as the table runners on the dining room table.
“Get some fresh flowers or silk flowers for the centerpiece,” she suggested. “This is all low-cost and puts you in a springy mood.”
For the bedroom, Jacoby said, if you have a goose down comforter, you can change the cover for a new look at not much expense.
Along those lines, Khurana said “My personal favorite tip is to start with the bedroom. Add crisp new bedding paired with dimmable lights you can adjust to your mood.”
Lighting can completely transform how a home feels, according to real estate
site Redfin. You can start with general overhead lighting that evenly illuminates the room as a base. From there, you can add task lighting focusing on specific activities, such as desk lights, or accent lighting.
For spring, the best choice may be natural lighting, maximizing windows and daylight whenever possible, according to Redfin.
With that in mind, “Definitely wash your windows after a long winter,” Jacoby said. “You’re going to want your windows shades open to look at the flowers blooming outside.”
Painting a room is another relatively low-effort approach. With spring in mind, neutral or light tones can brighten things up, according to Redfin.
Overall, “If you’re looking for a weekend project, a fresh coat of paint is still the most cost-effective way to redefine a space,” Khurana said.
Even more low-cost: Rearranging the furniture.
“Don’t overlook the power of simply decluttering and reconfiguring your furniture,” Khurana said. “It costs nothing and provides a much-needed sense of clarity.”
Clearing surfaces and streamlining storage makes rooms feel larger. And rotating art and accessories can create a fresh perspective on a familiar space.
Some more cost-effective small changes: New placemats and kitchen towels; new bathroom towels and hand soaps in the bathroom; and a new shower curtain, Jacoby said.
“With the change of seasons, it’s a nice time to try new things,” the designer said.
