Wanting to avoid any chance of repeating last winter’s catastrophic flooding when Anderson Reservoir spilled over for the first time since 2006 due to heavy rains, water officials have kept the county’s largest water reserve at lower levels than what is mandated by the state.

In October 2017, the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s Board of Directors set a “40 percent exceedance rule curve to reduce the risk of flooding ➝ Anderson, 19 THE LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE OF MORGAN HILL, GILROY & SAN MARTIN

Teen is gold as ice LOCAL NATIVE ANTHONY PONOMARENKO WINS JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP Scott Forstner Reporter

Any pressure of being the son of two decorated

Olympic champions has not fazed Morgan Hill’s Anthony Ponomarenko—who together with ice dancing partner Christina Carreira won the junior national title at last weekend’s 2018 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in San Jose.

“We set this goal at the beginning of the

season and we strived to be national champions, and we’re happy that it worked out well,” said Anthony, whose parents, Sergei Ponomarenko and Marina Kimova, are considered one of the best ice dancing teams in Olympic history. “It was a great event, great audience, great people (in San Jose).”

Thursday’s victory, which came one day before Anthony’s 17th birthday, placed Ponomarenko and Carreira into the 2018 World Junior Championships, which will be held this March in Sofia, Bulgaria.

“We’re really happy we were able to make it happen. We’ve been working

really hard,” Carreira said in the team’s post-skate interview Jan. 4. “There’s still a little shakiness that we need to work on. We want to improve our footwork, make our twizzles more together. We still have a lot of things to work on before Junior Worlds.” ➝ Ice Dancing, 15

Elite cycling tour coming to Morgan Hill WEEKDAY EVENT WILL CLOSE ROADS DOWNTOWN, WEST OF MH Michael Moore Editor

Picture a school where...

learning is more intentional.

The May 16 time trial stage of the Amgen Tour—set to take place in the city’s downtown and through the rolling hills west of town—will turn Morgan Hill into a cycling

fanatic’s paradise for the day.

City officials and tourism proponents hope the event and its worldwide broadcast will have a much longer lasting impact here.

The Amgen Tour of California is one of the more prestigious races in the cycling world. About 120 elite professional cyclists will compete in the seven-day, seven-stage (three stages for women) race that goes from Long

Beach to Sacramento, with stops at various communities in between.

“It has national and international attention,” Morgan Hill Economic Development Director Edith Ramirez told the city council at the Dec. 20 meeting. “The race (was) broadcast in over 200 countries, with 60 million viewers” in 2017.

Thus the question of whether the City of Morgan Hill should shoulder up to $55,000 for local

costs associated with the May 16 time trial and related activities seemed like a no-brainer for the council, which voted 5-0 to approve the expense Dec. 20.

The Amgen Tour, which is owned by Anschutz Entertainment Group, has not officially announced its final list of 2018 host cities, but is expected to do so in the coming weeks.

Specifically, the city will spend up to $40,000

from the general fund on costs associated with road closures and traffic control along the 22-mile time trial course that starts and ends in downtown Morgan Hill. Amgen Tour host cities are all responsible for such costs, according to a city staff report.

The city’s expenses will also include up to $15,000 for “marketing and branding” for the City ➝ Agmen, 12

Man accused of conning MH victims arrested JAYSON WAYNE GOODRICH DETAINED ON WARRANT, LOCAL THEFT ALLEGATIONS Michael Moore Editor

Morgan Hill Police arrested a San Jose man this morning who is accused of scamming hundreds of dollars—or more—from employees of local businesses by telling a bogus story about recent personal unfortunate circumstances that could be solved with a loan of a few dollars.

After the suspect conned more than a half dozen unsuspecting strangers in this manner in recent months, Salinas-based

television station KSBW last week ran a series of news reports about the alleged scammer and his methods.

Following the media coverage, Morgan Hill police identified the suspect as Jayson Wayne Goodrich. Sgt. Troy Hoefling said officers arrested Goodrich on a $40,000 felony warrant out of San Jose the morning of Jan. 8, as Goodrich was leaving a motel in San Jose. Police also booked him on suspicion of four misdemeanor counts of theft by false pretenses.

Goodrich allegedly approached employees at four Morgan Hill businesses, at different times, and told his targeted victims that he had lost his wallet and his car had broken down, according to police and victims. To top it off, Goodrich would even tell the victim that his father-in-law had

recently become sick. He would then ask the victims if he could borrow some cash so he could tow his vehicle, promising to return shortly to pay them back.

Police said Goodrich never returned each time a victim handed him the cash. Goodrich allegedly succeeded in scamming employees of GVA Café, Le Pooch Grooming, Quilts and Things and Coffee Guys in Morgan Hill, from late 2017 to the first days of January.

A follow-up report on KSBW last week noted that after the initial story on Goodrich, the station heard from victims in Gilroy, San Jose, Santa Clara, Hollister and other communities who claimed the man scammed them in a similar way.

Hoefling added that Goodrich’s fraudulent scheme spans a much larger region,

highlighting the need for other money, which she expected to be victims to come forward. reimbursed later that day.

Sister Cities of MH expands exchange PROGRAM SEEKS INTERESTED HIGHSCHOOL-AGE TEENAGERS Staff report

Sister Cities of Morgan Hill has expanded its programs to allow local families and teens age 14-17 to participate in a cultural exchange with sister city San Casciano, Tuscany, Italy.

The new program is comprised of two phases: the first is chaperoned and guided travel for participating teens this summer to San Casciano; and the second is Morgan Hill families hosting an Italian teenager in their homes a year later.

Sister Cities is developing the San Casciano Exchange Program to give Morgan Hill teens a chance to learn about, share and explore an international experience, as well as form lifelong friendships and memories, according to organizers.

During exchanges between San Casciano and Morgan Hill, teens can expect to actively participate in the local lifestyle, live host families’ routine, and enjoy group excursions showcasing the local area—both in Italy and when hosting in Morgan Hill.

Sister Cities is kicking off the first phase by actively looking for teens who are interested in the travel excursion planned for mid- to late-July 2018. The Italian families hosting in July 2018 have been identified and

are committed to offer each teen guest the opportunity of living the local Italian lifestyle as a member of the family Two information sessions are scheduled: Tuesday, Jan. 30 or Wednesday, Feb. 7, both 7pm at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center, Madrone Meeting Room, 17000 Monterey Road.

Contact amywhelan7@ gmail.com for questions, details and to express interest.

The second phase is slated for summer 2019, and will give those first phase participants, plus other interested families wishing to join the program, a chance to host an Italian teen also between the ages of 14-17.

“While the exchange is still in its infancy, I believe we are at the start of something that will one day be a great asset to Morgan Hill’s reputation as a vibrant, local community with a wealth of opportunities for families,” said Pier Antoniucci, San Casciano Exchange Program chairperson for Sister Cities. “The group of teens who join the program early will be a big part of shaping the program’s entire future. I know Sister Cities and San Casciano have a lot to offer, and I hope there are families out there who would like to become a part of it. We are very excited to move it forward at last.”

Exchange Programs in Morgan Hill

Morgan Hill already has an educational exchange program with its sister city Mizuho, Japan. The Mizuho Morgan Hill Student

Exchange Program has a long history of sending and receiving middle school-aged children between Morgan Hill and Mizuho. It, too, alternates between Morgan Hill kids traveling to Mizuho one year and then hosting Mizuho children the following year. The group is now getting ready to send Morgan Hill students to Mizuho, Japan, in the summer of 2018.

Part of its preparations include the Haru Matsuri Spring Festival, scheduled from 11am to 4pm, April 22 at the Buddhist Community Center; and, a Goodwill Truck donation on April 28, location pending.

MMHSEP can be reached at mizuhoexchangemh@gmail.com.

The San Casciano Exchange Program aims to build on the Mizuho team’s success and extend the international travel experience to older teens, according to organizers. Like the Mizuho program, the San Casciano team will also encourage a direct connection and friendship between families of the two cities before and after the travel period.

“The Mizuho program is very popular, and students always return from Japan with some of the greatest memories that will stick with them for life,” said Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate. “The Mizuho exchange is such a highlight for Morgan Hill, and I am particularly pleased to see something similar for more teens wishing to experience Italy and show off what Morgan Hill has to offer. The Italian exchange will have some key differences in this early stage of

While the exchange is still in its infancy, I believe we are at the start of something that will one day be a great asset to Morgan Hill’s reputation as a vibrant, local community with a wealth of opportunities for families.

About Sister Cities of Morgan Hill

Sister Cities is an all-volunteer membership organization formed over 10 years ago. It currently hosts relationships with five international cities: San Casciano, Italy; Seferihisar, Turkey; San Martin de Hidalgo, Mexico; Mizuho, Japan; and Headford, Ireland.

Morgan Hill’s Sister City program is modeled on Sister Cities International (sistercities.org), a worldwide organization that fosters connections between cities, counties or states. Connections between cities are usually based on shared similarities that can expand into a more thorough cultural exchange. Most Sister Cities organizations are comprised of volunteers, with the support of their local, elected officials. Sister Cities of Morgan Hill is under the fiscal sponsorship of the nonprofit Morgan Hill Community Foundation, morganhillcf.org. They receive funding from private voluntary donations and fundraisers.

The San Casciano Exchange Program is one of the multiple activities within Sister Cities

of Morgan Hill. Its chairperson, Pier Antoniucci, moved from Italy to California in 1986 as a high tech industry executive, then retired to Morgan Hill approximately six years ago. He became a member of the Sister Cities of Morgan Hill several years ago with the prime objective of revitalizing the formal relationship with San Casciano.

Antoniucci traveled to San Casciano in October 2017 to represent Morgan Hill in a series of meetings with the San Casciano civic leaders who are leading the program for the participating Italian families and teens.

About San Casciano

San Casciano in Val Di Pesa is a commune in the Province of Florence, Tuscany. It is part of the Chianti region and offers many cultural highlights of its own, as well as being centrally located in one of the most popular and picturesque regions of Italy. It is the birthplace of Machiavelli and surrounded by an atmosphere of the Renaissance, closely situated 10 miles from Florence. San Casciano was chosen as a Sister City with Morgan Hill because of its similarities in geography, agricultural output and residential size.

OPINION LETTERS Too early for legal pot It's still early days for recreational marijuana in California. Why the rush to allow the marijuana industry in Morgan Hill?

While it's unclear what legal marijuana will ultimately look like in this state, it is certain that many voters will regret having voted “yes" on Proposition 64 once the costs to law enforcement, public health, and quality of life are realized.

Ryan Treffers Morgan Hill

Thank You, Morgan Hill On behalf of Michelle's husband Dustin, daughter Kennedy, and our entire family, we want to thank the City Council, Morgan Hill teammates and the community for your overwhelming support and generosity.

Your display of compassion helped all of us as we struggled to understand why Michelle was taken from us at this time. Morgan Hill's kindness was reflective of the way Michelle lived her life, and we know she is thankful for all that the Morgan Hill community has done for her family. We thank you all for your ongoing support during this difficult time. It’s another example of why Morgan Hill is such a special, caring community.

2017: The year in water

T

wenty-seventeen will be a memorable year for Santa Clara County, especially for water resources management.

It was the year that broke our state’s longest dry streak with recordsetting precipitation. A year of transition between extremes—from drought to floods.

A year for big decisions on the future of our water supply. And it was a year to redouble our commitment to preparing for wet and dry years to ensure safe, clean water for a healthy life, environment and economy for the Silicon Valley.

As Board Chair of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, I am proud to reflect on some of the year’s highlights.

A historic flood along Coyote Creek was a vivid reminder that flood risks persist in our county, and our hearts go out to those affected. Despite our investments of close to $1 billion in flood protection projects over several decades protecting nearly 100,000 parcels, our work is far from complete. The Coyote Creek flood has ignited a new urgency in our fight to reduce flood risks and help keep communities safe.

This year, we completed the Lower Silver Creek Flood Protection Project in east San Jose.

The project extends approximately 4.4 miles from its connection at Coyote Creek to Cunningham Avenue. When the Lake Cunningham detention basin is complete, it will protect approximately 3,800 homes and businesses.

After the Coyote Creek flood in February, my colleagues and I led advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C., to seek federal funding and support changes to the regulatory process, which has delayed many important flood protection projects. At home, we took immediate action to build short-term flood barriers at the Rock Springs neighborhood, remove invasive vegetation along Coyote Creek and remove downed trees and potential

To further improve reliability of our imported water supply sources, we applied for $484.5 million in state funding for the potential expansion of the Pacheco Reservoir. Located about 13 miles southwest of San Luis Reservoir, this project offers emergency and droughtyear supply, fish habitat enhancement, flood protection and other benefits.

Another way we are preparing for the future is through expanding the use of recycled water.

No doubt about it, 2017 was a forwardmoving year. I wouldn’t expect anything less for the Silicon Valley, and I am humbled to have led the efforts this year. Follow more of what we accomplished throughout the year in our 2017 annual report, available at valleywater.org.

FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Council to weigh Prop 64 options’ On Nov. 8, 2016, a significant majority of California voters approved the recreational use of cannabis, yet the City of Morgan Hill, among others, apparently opposes that voter mandate, as well as that passed more than 11 years ago (Proposition 215), authorizing the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes.

On that same day in 2016, a significant majority of voters nationwide mandated that the Democratic nominee be the 45th president of the United States. Yet, a mentally impaired impostor assumed that office, for which he is completely incapable in addition to being far more dangerous to human life than cannabis could ever be.

It would seem that the City of Morgan Hill needs to reassess its priorities in terms of what voters want.

Re: ‘Police: 2017 ends with string of armed robberies in Gilroy’ Yep, more theft. Every week, that is the majority of crimes, theft. Keeps getting worse. The state/counties/cities need to start taking this seriously. Laws need to change. These thugs, when found guilty should be imprisoned for 5 years, no parole. 5 years straight hard time. I don't care if the steal a tube of lipstick. Done, gone 5 years. Add 5 years everytime they are caught. 5 years, 10, years 15 years, etc. Want to stop theft, stop slapping them on the wrist and letting them go. “nyeff” via morganhilltimes.com

OBITUARIES JOSEPH B. AVILA June 30, 1947 - December 30, 2017

L

ong time Morgan Hill resident and business owner Joe Avila passed from this life on December 30, following a May cancer diagnosis.

His is the classic immigrant’s tale of determination and hard work.

In 1965, at the age of 17, Jose Maria Bettencourt e Avila came to the United States with $5 in his pocket.

After working briefly at a dairy in New Almaden, Mr. Avila went to work for Lucky Stores where, at the age of 30, he became the youngest Store Manager in company history. He spent the next twelve years at Lucky, eventually supervising the company’s Northern California division before “retiring” at age 42 to fulfill his dream of opening his own business.

In 1989, with one daughter in college and two more to follow, Mr. Avila and his wife opened SignTech-Postal Stop, a sign shop and shipping center, on Morgan Hill’s Vineyard Boulevard. Under his careful management, the business thrived for 27 years serving the needs of thousands of Morgan Hill residents. Mr. Avila was content to go to work each day in “his little shop” as he called it, and he enjoyed the many customers who became like a second family to him. This past spring, when cancer had taken a toll and Mr. Avila could no longer work, the business was passed on to Mr. Avila’s son-inlaw, Doug Stewart, and his daughter, Debbie Avila Stewart, of San Martin, bringing Mr. Avila great happiness in knowing his legacy would continue.

Born on Portugal’s Azores Islands in the picturesque village of Rosais, Sao Jorge to Irene Sousa and Antonio Maria Bettencourt e Avila, Mr. Avila grew up with his mom, dad, and siblings along with a loving and large extended family. Mr. Avila’s parents separated when he was a boy, forcing him to rely on the steadfast love of his family to see him through. Those early years impacted him hugely and cemented the importance of family, something he clung to all his life.

Shortly after immigrating to the United States, Mr. Avila met and married Alcinda (Cindy) Avila and they started their family. They lived in San Jose for a time before purchasing a home in Morgan Hill in 1977 where they raised three daughters who all attended Morgan Hill public schools and went on to graduate from college, two with advanced degrees.

Cindy and Joe spent many years sacrificing for their family and working hard to provide opportunities for their girls. Joe’s life was full of the things he loved most: soccer, family, good food and wine, trips to the ocean, and annual vacations to his beautiful homeland of the Azores.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 39 years, Alcinda, and leaves behind his beloved companion of ten years, Natalie Draher, also of Morgan Hill. Mr. Avila is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law Michelle Avila and Chris Berthold of Norwich, VT, and Christy Avila and Thomas Nores of Morgan Hill, in addition to his daughter Debbie and son-in-law Doug.

He is also survived by five grandchildren, Anabela, Carlton, Owen, Amelia, and Bishop, along with his four siblings and his mother. Mr. Avila is now interred with his wife at Morgan Hill’s Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Services were held January 4 and 5, 2018.

BETTE JANE (MANGANO) JOHNSON July 7, 1931 - December 25, 2017

B

ette Jane (Mangano) Johnson was born in her grandmother’s home in Morgan Hill on July 7, 1931 to the late Thomas and Josephine Mangano, the oldest of three daughters.

Bette and her sisters were raised in Gilroy and attended Gilroy High, where Bette played the clarinet and was a member of the marching band.

A hard worker all her life, it was while working at Woolworths that she met her future husband Carl when he asked her to wrap a canary in a birdcage.

Bette had planned on becoming a stewardess, but prior to the beginning of her training and one year after meeting Carl they became engaged, thus changing her future plans. Bette and Carl were married March 21, 1953 at St. Mary’s in Gilroy and celebrated their 64th Wedding Anniversary this past March. Once married, Bette became a full-time homemaker and mother of three. When the youngest began 8th grade, Bette returned to the work force at the Morgan Hill Unified School District, eventually becoming their bookkeeper, a position Bette held until her retirement over 20 years later. Bette enjoyed enumerable hobbies, and was an accomplished artist and seamstress. She was also an avid reader, and was known to have a book with her wherever she went. Bette and Carl moved their family to Edmundson Avenue when the kids were small, and lived there for over 50 years until they moved to Los Osos in December of 2014 to be closer to their kids. They were able to travel quite extensively, both with family and with their close group of friends. Their plans for additional travel were cut short when Bette was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on July 4, 2015. Bette fought and won the first round, and was determined to fight again when it returned in 2017, but it was not to be. Bette slipped peacefully from this world on Christmas Day, surrounded by the love of her family.

Bette was loved by everyone she met, and always left you with a smile. She loved her SF Giants, just like her dad, and even in later years could rattle off the pitching rotation and batting order! But her greatest love was her family and nothing made her happier than when we were all together.

Bette is survived by her devoted husband of 64 1/2 years Carl; sons Richard (Amy) and David, daughter Karin Van Lith (Jeff ); grandchildren Astyn Wielkie (John), Rylee, Hannah and Lucas Johnson, Jason, Chris and Eric (Jessica) Van Lith; great-grandchildren, Chloe and Jaxon Wielkie, Kayla, Ben and Oren Van Lith; sisters Bobbie Booten and Gloria Dixon (Dave); numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and an extended family of friends.

At her request, there will be no services and her remains will be cremated.

Bette will be sorely missed, but lovingly remembered, our time with her a treasured gift.

We love you to the moon and back Mom. You fell off your chair – Peaceful be Your Journey.

WHAT’S NEW

at El Camino Hospital Los Gatos?

For years, El Camino Hospital Los Gatos promoted and protected the health of the South Bay. We believe in treating our patients as people first, to be valued, respected, and not defined by their medical issues. At the same time, we work hard to meet our community’s evolving healthcare needs. With that in mind, we’ve added to and enhanced our services to bring you even more world-class care, close to home.

815 Pollard Road, Los Gatos, CA 95032

ANNOUNCING MORE SPECIALISTS, EXPANDED PROGRAMS, UPGRADED FACILITIES, AND NEW SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES. • INTERVENTIONAL PULMONOLOGY We are expanding this innovative service to our Los Gatos campus to increase access and improve convenience for patients. We offer diagnosis and treatment (including minimally invasive endoscopic procedures) for asthma, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, and tuberculosis.

• EXPANDED ENDOSCOPY AND COLONOSCOPY CAPABILITIES El Camino Hospital Los Gatos uses advanced technologies and equipment to diagnose and treat digestive health conditions. We now offer endoscopy retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for various biliary (gallbladderrelated) diseases. We’ve added interventional endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for cancer staging and diagnosis. In addition, we now use double balloon enteroscopy to evaluate small bowel diseases.

• BLUE LIGHT CYSTOSCOPY WITH CYSVIEW® FOR BLADDER CANCER SURGERY Cystoscopy is the procedure used to diagnose and remove bladder cancer tumors. Unfortunately, tiny tumors in the bladder wall are hard to locate.

Blue Light Cystoscopy with Cysview® makes these tumors easier to see during surgery. The bladder is treated with an agent that causes tumors to show up as bright pink under blue light, making them much easier for the surgeon to locate and remove.

• ENHANCED SURGICAL FACILITIES AND DEDICATED SPINE OPERATING ROOM We have updated and expanded our surgical suites to better accommodate the large team and sophisticated equipment needed to perform complex surgeries.

• LATEST ROBOTIC SURGERY CAPABILITIES Our minimally invasive surgical capabilities continue to grow with the addition of a da Vinci Xi® surgical robot in Los Gatos. El Camino Hospital is a regional leader in robotic-assisted procedures, and this enables us to accommodate the many patients who seek our expertise.

• OFFICIAL BABY-FRIENDLY® DESIGNATION We have just been named a Baby-Friendly® Hospital — the only South Bay facility to earn this designation. Sponsored by the United Nations International Children’s Fund and the World Health Organization, this earned accreditation recognizes that we are exceptional at teaching breastfeeding skills and helping new mothers adjust to nursing.

THESE SERVICES COMPLEMENT THE OUTSTANDING CARE YOU RELY ON. Our recent additions and changes are just part of the great care we’re known for here in the South Bay. Patients come from all over to be seen by the exceptional physicians in our Urology Program. We are one of very few hospitals in the region to offer Artemis™ 3D Imaging and Navigation for prostate biopsies. We also have an innovative Fast Track Stone Program through our Emergency Department that allows patients with kidney stone symptoms to see a doctor within 15 minutes.

Our Orthopedic Institute offers leading-edge hip, knee, and spine surgery. All joint and spine surgery patients recover in style in our Orthopedic Pavilion, a remarkable, hotel-like post-surgery unit.

Highlights of our Women’s Health Program include leading-edge robotic and conventional gynecological surgeries, and a Pelvic Health Program.

Our Regional Men’s Health Program offers a full range of treatments for prostate issues, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and urological conditions.

Our Sleep Disorders Program is staffed by a team of specialists, including a fellowship-trained sleep medicine specialist, sleep apnea surgeons, and a dentist who’s certified in dental sleep medicine. Sleep studies are performed in our sleep lab, which is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

And, of course, you can always count on our outstanding Emergency Services, 24/7.

of Morgan Hill, including the production of a 30-second commercial to be during television coverage of the May 16 time trial stage, according to city staff.

Ramirez said while city staff and event promoters can’t estimate an amount of sales and hotel tax revenues—and other residual income— that could result from the Amgen Tour, it is possible that this economic benefit will more than offset the city’s costs. A large portion of this benefit will result from hundreds of hotel room stays—for which the city collects a 10 percent per night per room tax—for the time trial racers, their teams and spectators.

The inconvenience to local residents is not lost on city officials, as the Amgen Tour “Stage 4” men’s time trial will require the full closure of the race route, which is expected to loop from downtown Morgan Hill westward into the unincorporated hills along Oak Glen Avenue and north to Bailey Avenue before returning along Hale Avenue. The time trial will start on the west side of Monterey Road at East Dunne Avenue, with the finish line at Monterey Road and Fourth Street.

Councilmember Rene Spring noted that May 16 is a Wednesday, which is a normal workday for local residents who commute. The event will likely pose some inconvenience to those residents, Spring said.

Ramirez noted that some roads along the route outside downtown won’t be closed during the day’s heavy commute hours, as the time trial is scheduled for 11am to 4pm.

Road closures downtown will begin May 15 as Amgen Tour organizers set up for a Lifestyle Festival that will take place during the May 16 time trial. This festival will be hosted

by Amgen Tour of California, and will feature several tents for sponsor products, hospitality and other cycling industry promotions. The

festival will take place on Monterey Road between Main Avenue and Third Street.

Although Spring is “not as confident” as Ramirez and others about the possible economic windfall from the Amgen Tour in Morgan Hill, he joined his council colleagues in supporting the May 16 host city designation. He also agreed with a suggestion from an audience member to organize a less formal bicycle ride along the time trial route in the days before the Amgen Tour, which could serve as a fundraiser for local organizations and a promotion for the May 16 race.

The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Association offered their enthusiastic support for bringing the Amgen Tour to town, citing the revenues coming directly from the presence of hundreds of professional athletes and their road crews, as well as potentially thousands of spectators during the event. These organizations are also excited about the worldwide exposure that Morgan Hill will gain as the Amgen Tour is broadcast on live international television.

The city is also hoping to implement a Tourism Based Improvement District among the local hotels as another effort to fund the Amgen Tour costs, Ramirez said. This program would levy an additional tax on guests at Morgan Hill hotels, all revenue from which would be directed toward to efforts for “promoting and branding the community” and attracting events that bring visitors from out of town.

Past experience

Proponents note that time trials are vastly more spectator-friendly than other stages of a race such as the Amgen Tour, as the event lasts all afternoon in one location rather than quickly passing through the area. During a time trial, individual cyclists start out one at a time, staggered throughout the late morning and afternoon about two minutes apart.

The City of Solvang, in Santa Barbara County, hosted an Amgen Tour time trial from 2008 to 2011. Solvang City Manager Brad Vidro said the overall impact on the community was positive, especially over the long term.

Solvang gained repeated media exposure as well as the presence of teams training along the route in the weeks leading up to the Amgen Tour, Vidro said. He cited hotel taxes and food sales among the big money makers for Solvang.

“In the longer term, you get that exposure,” Vidro said. “The spectators…want to come see the area. We think that went on for years later.”

Solvang also organized a “ride the route” promotion before the official event each year, for which individual riders paid $800 or more to participate.

These efforts went to directly offset the City of Solvang’s costs for being an Amgen Tour host city.

Vidro said he couldn’t place a specific dollar value on the Amgen Tour’s impact on Solvang. The city, which has a population of about 5,400, stopped hosting the Amgen Tour in 2011 because the immediate costs for road closure and traffic control grew prohibitive.

He also acknowledged, “A lot of the locals didn’t like it so much because we were blocking roads (and) impeding access. With a time trial, you’ve got to completely close the loop” to vehicle traffic.

Cities in California along the Amgen Tour route typically compete to host a stage or time trial during the event, Ramirez said. In Morgan Hill, however, the City of San Jose and the San Jose Sports Authority offered to co-host the May 16 time trial with Morgan Hill.

City staff said they have already notified the school district about potential traffic disruptions associated with the Amgen Tour, and will begin getting the word out to local residents and businesses.

In the longer term, you get that exposure...We think that went on for years later.

Anthony is from Morgan Hill, grew up locally, and his parents and brother still live in the area. Sergei and Marina, who were inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2000, coach young figure skaters at Sharks Ice in San Jose.

However, Anthony relocated to train in Novi, Mich., with worldrenowned ice dance coach Igor Shpilband in 2014, according to U.S. Figure Skating.

“The overall performance needs to be in its ‘A’ game for Junior Worlds,” Anthony said. “I feel like if we do that, skate our best, we have a good chance at getting first place.”

Courtesy of U.S. Figure Skating

The Ponomarenko family knows how to take it to the next level.

Anthony’s parents who now live in Morgan Hill procured gold, silver and bronze Olympic medals skating for the former Soviet Union and Unified Team.

In 1984, the pair won a bronze medal for the Soviet Union at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics; a silver at the 1988 games in Calgary, also for the Soviet Union; and a gold in 1992 at the Albertville games, for the Unified Team.

“I felt like (Thursday’s performance) was very clean but not very emotional. We need to step up our game emotionally if we want to be in that top rank at Junior Worlds,” said Anthony, a 2017 U.S. silver medalist. “That’s

Local bookseller wins coveted bonus BEST-SELLING, AWARD-WINNING NOVELIST AWARDED GRANTS, BONUSES TO NATION’S BEST Michael Moore

Retired educator and Morgan Hill’s “bookseller extraordinaire” Ellyn Gaich was one of 300 independent booksellers nationwide to win James Patterson’s coveted “Holiday Bonus,” according to the owners of BookSmart, where Gaich works.

The honor was announced by international best-selling author and philanthropist of the arts James Patterson, who teamed up with the American Booksellers Association to award the prestigious honors, which came with

Gaich and her co-workers, along with BookSmart owners Jones and his wife Cinda Meister, share a “team approach” to selling books. “Everybody here reads,” Gaich said.

Currently, among Gaich’s favorite books for sale at BookSmart are those in the “Merle, the Freethinking Dog” series, as well as science-fiction novel “Ready Player One.” “We have several really top notch booksellers who always try very hard to find just the right book for each and every client and Ellyn is one of the best!”

“I like being around books.

It’s a comfort to me,” Gaich said.

“The retail side was more of a learning curve. It’s a little bit different, but fun.”

Gaich, a longtime Morgan Hill resident, has been a customer of BookSmart’s for much longer than she has worked there. She used to stop into the store at its former downtown location while walking through the neighborhood with her two children, who are now adults.

“It’s such an institution in the community,” Gaich said of BookSmart. “Every town needs a bookstore.”

She also likes how BookSmart is more than just a bookstore.

She enjoys the “variety” of people and activities she gets to encounter at the store, which hosts art

holiday bonuses for the designated top booksellers.

BookSmart co-owner Brad Jones said the Patterson Holiday Bonus is “given to only those booksellers who go above and beyond the call of duty.”

BookSmart nominated Gaich for the award because of her longtime service to the reading community.

Patterson’s prestigious honor came with a cash holiday bonus.

Gaich didn’t disclose the amount of the bonus, but she told BookSmart co-owner Brad Jones it was “more than a couple tanks of gas, and less than a trip to Maui.” In total, Patterson and the ABA awarded the Holiday Bonus recipients nationwide a total of $350,000 in bonus money.

Gaich, 62, has worked parttime at BookSmart, located at 1295 E. Dunne Ave., for about seven years. She is retired from

Despite rains, reservoirs are still low Anderson, 1 along Coyote Creek and provide adequate water supply while balancing other beneficial uses,” according to a district staff report.

The restriction came on a recommendation from the Coyote Creek Flood Risk Reduction Ad Hoc Committee.

So, even after two days of consistent downpour Jan. 8-9, Anderson Reservoir—the largest reservoir in the county that provides about 25 percent of water that the entire county consumes each year—is only about 26 percent of its 90,373 acre feet capacity. An acre foot covers an acre of land 1 foot deep—enough water to supply two families of five for a year.

Due to the low water level, Anderson is also closed to all vessels.

The seismic restrictions

imposed by state regulators allow Anderson to be filled up to about two-thirds of its maximum capacity.

“Releases from Anderson Reservoir have been minimal and haven’t changed in recent weeks,” according to SCVWD spokeswoman Gina Adriano.

“By Dec. 1, we had already lowered the reservoir level to meet the board-approved flood risk reduction action...Since then, water has been released at a minimal level for groundwater recharge and to maintain fish habitat in creeks.”

In February 2017, Coyote Creek was unable to handle the substantial runoff from Anderson’s spillover, and widespread flooding overtook San Jose neighborhoods, which were forced to

be evacuated. The floods resulted in an estimated $73 million in damages.

Anderson Seismic Retrofit Project

The $400 million Anderson Seismic Retrofit Project, which is not expected to begin until 2020, is currently in the design phase and is “undergoing a series of independent reviews with industry experts to ensure best outcomes,” according to staff.

“We are working to complete a draft Environmental Impact Report for public review by summer 2018,” Adriano said. “We expect to complete the project design by 2019, after which we will need to apply for a series of permits. The district is aiming to break ground in 2020.”

The massive project, which will take between three to four years to complete with completion targeted for 2024, is being funded primarily through the district’s water rates, along with $60 million from the Measure B parcel tax.

Staff is expected to present a project update report Jan. 23 at the board of directors meeting.

Other reservoirs at low levels

Nearby Coyote, Calero and Chesbro Reservoirs—which also must operate under restrictions implemented by the state’s Division of Safety of Dams— are also currently at low levels as measured

by SCVWD’s gages.

As of Jan. 10, Coyote is at 19.9 percent of its 23,244 acre feet capacity; Chesbro is at 31.1

percent of its 7,945 acre feet capacity and Calero is at 35.9 percent of its 9,934 acre feet capacity.

Uvas Reservoir is at 34.3 percent of its 9,835 acre feet capacity.

“We’ve had to balance groundwater replenishment with releases for environmental benefits,” Adriano explained. “We also haven’t seen much rainfall thus far to fill the reservoirs. However, we receive most of our rainfall during the months of January through March, so we are keeping a close eye on the forecast.”

According to the National Weather Service, there was about 1.5 inches of rainfall between Jan. 8-9, but more wet weather is not expected again until Jan. 15. There has been 6.26 inches of rainfall this season, according to the SCVWD gage on Edmundson Avenue.

Garlic producer responds to documentary NETFLIX SHOW SUGGESTS COMPLICITY WITH CHEAP CHINESE IMPORTS

By Brad Kava Reporter

Gilroy’s Christopher Ranch, America’s biggest garlic producer, disputes accusations that it conspired to fix garlic prices and sells garlic peeled by Chinese prisoners, allegations raised by competitors in a new Netflix documentary series investigating food scandals called “Rotten.”

The episode, called “Garlic Breath,” shows what it alleges is undercover video taken in Chinese prisons of workers peeling garlic—using their teeth in some cases, according to an undercover witness, to remove roots because the peeling had ruined the prisoners’ fingernails.

The hidden camera video shows boxes marked with the Golden Lion brand, sold by Christopher.

Ken Christopher, the thirdgeneration manager of the family-owned private company, this week denied the the documentary’s allegations. He said that Christopher, Gilroy’s biggest employer, is planning to file suit against Netflix asking it to stop showing the documentary and to issue a correction.

He said the company is overwhelmed by negative comments on social media as a result of the show. Christopher said his company has never sold garlic peeled by prisoners and 90 percent of the garlic it sells is from California. He said the company has no connection to the Golden Lion brand and that the video claiming to be filmed in prisons is a fake.

“The documentary is a hit piece on us,” said Christopher, whose

family has grown, packed and marketed garlic in Gilroy since 1953.

“We’re being dragged through the mud. I want to keep emphasizing, who we are is about California garlic. No Christopher Ranch product uses Chinese garlic. Having our integrity means so much to us.”

In the documentary, a U.S.based garlic importer tells the filmmakers he sneaked a camera into a Chinese prison and observed prisoners peeling garlic, allowing companies to sell it at much lower prices than cloves peeled in the U.S. The documentary alleges that Christopher Ranch sells that garlic.

It also claims that Christopher has been working with a Harmoni Group, Inc., which is the only importer of overseas garlic that doesn’t have to pay tariffs on imported cloves.

Christopher said the company works with Harmoni because it doesn’t dump garlic in the U.S. market, meaning it doesn’t sell garlic for less than it costs to produce it, undercutting U.S. growers.

“Christopher Ranch, the nation’s largest family-owned garlic company, is proud of our commitment to our customers and community to be both ethical and transparent regarding our business operations,” Christopher wrote in a Jan. 8 Facebook post. “We find it unfortunate that the new Netflix docuseries ‘Rotten’ has chosen to produce a show that highlights our brand in such a negative light.”

The company grows 90 percent of the 90 million pounds of garlic that it sells annually in the U.S. in California, sourcing the rest from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and China,” he wrote.

“We source a limited amount of Chinese garlic from a US-based firm, Harmoni, and have found them to be a dependable supplier.

We were aware of some allegations

CHRISTOPHER RANCH Workers at Christopher Ranch in Gilroy work on garlic cloves in this file photo. surrounding their labor practices last year, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigated and cleared them of any wrongdoing.”

According to the documentary, small garlic producers can’t survive if this large Chinese importer, Harmoni, is allowed to undercut prices.

“Currently, the wholesale price of garlic in China is $1 a kilo, and this has enabled Harmoni Spice, the only garlic importer that pays no duty, to undercut U.S. producers for the past 10 years,” said Stanley Crawford, a New Mexican farmer who asked the Department of Commerce to review Harmoni’s exemption from tariffs, in an article published by the Albuquerque Journal. “Anti-dumping duties, which can run as high as $4.71 a kilo, would serve to level the playing field for U.S. producers, bringing the price of imported garlic in line with U.S. wholesale prices.”

The commerce department reviews companies suggested by an organization called the Fresh Garlic Producers Association, of which Christopher Ranch is one of four members.

That organization annually

withdraws its request for the regulatory agency to review Harmoni, according to the film, allowing Harmoni to exploit a loophole and avoid tariffs.

In June, the U.S. Department of Commerce threw out Crawford’s request to investigate Harmoni, saying that Crawford had taken money from a competing Chinese garlic company and destroyed his credibility as a source. The film documents a battle between Crawford and his attorney and another boutique New Mexican garlic producer who first signed on with Crawford and then took money from Harmoni. Those battles prevented the Commerce Department from taking action.

U.S. Customs investigated the allegations of prisoners being used for the imported Harmoni garlic and found it to be untrue, Christopher said.

The “Rotten” series is produced by Zero Point Zero, the company behind Anthony Bourdain’s television shows.

“Our food supply system is broken, corrupt, dirty, inhumane, and riddled with fraud. If you are not aware of this, you need to be,”

wrote Paste Magazine in a review of the series, calling it “mandatory” viewing for people who buy food.

Christopher said the company is considering a lawsuit and is also thinking about no longer importing any garlic from China. The reason it does so now, he said, is because some customers who can’t afford California garlic prefer the cheaper Chinese product.

Those imports are never sold under the Christopher name, he said, and when the company does use garlic from other countries to bridge the gap between harvests, it clearly labels its origin.

Christopher Ranch, with more than 600 full time workers and another 400 seasonal ones, is Gilroy’s biggest employer. The company pays its agricultural workers above minimum wage, and company patriarch Don Christopher is noted for his philanthropy, which includes donating land and an endowment to fund the establishment of Christopher High School.

Ken Christopher said the company would never knowingly use prison labor for its products.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “Not in a million years.”

PASSING FANCY Sobrato High’s Brent Shore makes a pass to Kristopher Moyer in the team’s 54-40 loss to Willow Glen on Jan. 5. The Bulldogs entered Wednesday’s Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division game against Westmont at 8-4 overall and 0-2 in league action.

Sobrato’s future is bright BULLDOGS LOOK TO EXCEL IN BVAL’S TOP DIVISION emanuel lee Sports Editor

Playing tough

“David has been knocking down shots and playing great defense,” Tate said.

“He’s also a backup point guard and helps take care of the ball. Cade has a high basketball IQ, and is our anchor at the point guard position.”

Offensively, everything starts with Kristopher Moyer, a 6-foot-6, 220pound center. The senior is averaging a team-best 18 points per game, and makes an impact on both ends of the floor.

“He’s solid down low, has good footwork and finishes around the basket,” Tate said. “He definitely

alters shots, which is important for us on the defensive end. He’s an old school center in that he’s going to finish around the basket if we can get him the ball. I’m really proud of how Kristopher has stepped up as a leader.”

Ignacio Bettinelli, a sophomore forward, is the team’s second leading scorer and plays solid defense while also possessing a strong mid-range jumper. Another sophomore forward, Drew Hooks, has added a spark to the team after first impressing Tate in the team’s open gym summer workouts.

A third sophomore forward, Travis Turnipseed, can knock down outside jumpers, and junior guard Brent Shore has provided steady play off the bench with great defense. Tate sees plenty of potential in Christian Keller, a 6-5, 195-pound junior center.

“Maybe that’s why we got moved up to the A division, because we have two 6-5 guys,” Tate said.

“Christian is a raw talent, but he’s very athletic

Despite entering the season without two projected starters, the Sobrato High boys basketball team hasn’t let that deter it from having its best start in coach Sean Tate’s fourth year at the helm. The Bulldogs entered Wednesday’s game against Westmont at 8-4 overall and 0-2 in the tough Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division.

Although Tate said Piedmont Hills is an “absolute beast of a team,” he likes the makeup of his squad and how it can improve going forward.

“There is an opportunity for us to finish with a solid record in the A division,” he said. “And we’ll be even better next year. I see big things for us.”

That’s because Sobrato has plenty of underclassmen who are playing prominent roles this season. However, the Bulldogs are experienced in the backcourt with senior point guard Cade Zorio and senior off guard David Villareal. Backups a year ago, Zorio and Villareal have brought stability to the all-important guard position.

and getting better everyday. We’re getting good minutes from him off the bench.”

Playoff-bound

By virtue of finishing above .500 in the nonleague portion of their schedule, the Bulldogs have already qualified for the Central Coast Section playoffs. Competing in an

A division, Sobrato will be battle-tested by the time the regular season ends.

Sobrato’s 69-67 win over a solid Saratoga squad on Dec. 19 was a key moment for the team, as it displayed resolve and toughness in the fourth quarter.

“That was a great signature win for us over Saratoga,” Tate said. “It was a fight to the end.”

Like most high school teams, Sobrato struggles at times with consistency.

“There are times we look great and other times we look like we didn’t do anything in practice,” Tate said. “But the guys are giving a great effort every time we get on the floor, and it’s great to see.

We’re headed in the right direction.”

GETTING IT DONE Former Live Oak High standout Erik Ornduff is

a mid-year transfer to play football at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

He played one year at Gavilan College this past season.

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

college football programs in the nation. Even though Ornduff didn’t end up playing at CSM, things couldn’t have worked out better. For one, he didn’t use a year of eligibility.

And two, Ornduff said he learned more about playing the quarterback position in one year at CSM than he had in four years of high school. CSM’s quarterback coach, Matt Pelesasa, played at Western Kentucky University and was instrumental in Ornduff learning the nuances of the position.

“From proper footwork to going through reads to how to prepare, he pretty much taught me everything,” Ornduff said. “My year at CSM was one to perfect my craft and raise my skill level.”

That helped Ornduff last season at Gavilan, which had an ignominious season on and off the field. The Rams finished 0-10 after the roster was thinned out due to injuries and a recruiting violation that led to the dismissal of 17 players.

“It was a disappointing season going 0-10, and I felt like my stats could’ve been better,” he said. “But overall, I felt my first year of college football was a successful season, especially with all of the drama and injuries we had.”

Fort Lewis is a Division II program that finished 5-6 last season. Ornduff can’t wait to get his career at Fort Lewis started.

“Coach Johnson said he liked my film and the fact that I can throw and run,” Ornduff said. “They ran a similar kind of offense that Gavilan did, so that will help in my transition here.”

s a quarterback, Erik Ornduff is used to making quick decisions on the field. Apparently, the 2016 Live Oak High graduate is equally quick when it comes to making next level decisions. Last Friday in Durango, Ornduff signed his letter of intent to play at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

Ornduff started his first day of class Monday at Fort Lewis, and sounded ecstatic as he talked with the Times via phone.

“Durango is a really nice city with a lot of friendly people,” he said. “I think I’m going to like it here.”

Ornduff comes in as a midyear transfer, meaning he had already met the academic requirements out of high school to attend a four-year university.

Even by mid-year transfer standards, Ornduff signing with Fort Lewis was a whirlwind. Ornduff, who played his one and only season of community college football at Gavilan College in 2017, had been in contact with Fort Lewis shortly after the season ended in mid-November.

This happened after Ornduff sent out over 200 emails along with his game film to colleges throughout the country. Even though Ornduff talked with a couple of Division II schools, only Fort Lewis maintained

serious interest. Throughout the process, Ornduff communicated with Fort Lewis offensive coordinator Clayton Johnson, who like Ornduff attended Live Oak and Gavilan before coaching Ornduff ’s older brother, T.J., at West Valley College.

So the connection was there, and it was only a matter of if Fort Lewis would have enough scholarship money remaining to give Ornduff an attractive offer for him to take.

“He showed interest and told me to stay patient, that they needed to sign other people first,” Ornduff said. “I met with coach Johnson and he told me they had some money left over and was willing to offer me to come as a mid-year transfer.”

On Dec. 20, the university offered Ornduff a scholarship.

Last Friday, Ornduff signed his letter of intent in Durango, where he’ll be living for at least the next 3 ½ years. It wasn’t an easy decision; however, Ornduff is confident he made the right choice.

“It was either come out here or wait and see if I could get a higher offer (after my sophomore year) or from a school that was closer,” he said. “But when (former Gavilan) coach (Mike) Dovenberg decided to leave, that kind of helped my decision to come out and sign. With Gavilan not having a head coach at the moment and not knowing what would happen next season, this gave me some certainty.”

Out of high school, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Ornduff took a grayshirt year at the College of San Mateo, which is one of the premier community

emotions as he left Morgan Hill to drive to Durango on Jan. 3.

His mom, Tina, and longtime girlfriend, Mikaela Turnipseed, made the drive with him.

“It’s the next part of my life, and I’m looking forward to the experience,” Ornduff said. “Things have turned out great.”
