Schools prepare for the worst DISTRICTS USE SAFETY PLANS, DRILLS, STAFF TRAINING AND OFFICERS Scott Forstner Reporter

Four years ago, students, staff and faculty within the Gilroy Unified School District collaborated with more than 15 law enforcement agencies to help produce a “Run, Hide, Defend” training video.

Since then, just about every school district throughout Santa Clara County has shown the CMAP-produced training video to provide school communities with the best possible tactics and procedures to follow if there is an active shooter at a school.

PINE RIDGE ASSOCIATION HOLDS ANNUAL RAINY DAY Debra Eskinazi

Magazine and Features Editor

The weather was perfectly wet Saturday, March 3 for local children attending

the “Raincoats and Rubber Boots” event put on by the Pine Ridge Association of Morgan Hill. The event, which took place at Henry W. Coe State Park drew little and big kids alike to its annual creek walk and scavenger hunt.

With low rainfall levels this winter, Pine Ridge Association (PRA)

volunteer and Raincoats and Rubber Boots coordinator Chere Bargar said they were really worried about the outcome of the event, which took place just inside the park’s Hunting Hollow entrance east of Gilroy.

“The Sunday before, there was one little puddle at the first creek

crossing that wasn’t even big enough to go in,” Bargar said. “We were glad to see the rain when it came in on Thursday.”

The event attracted more than 60 puddle jumpers, with kids ranging in age from 1 to 11 years old.

“It’s mainly intended to get the kids outside to play

in the water,” Bargar said.

“We have boats and rubber ducks so they can just float them and have races or whatever they like.”

The four-hour event included learning about the rain cycle accompanied by a special craft project and a scavenger ➝ Rainboots, 21

Initiative seeks to change crime laws RECLASSIFY NONVIOLENT CRIMES AS VIOLENT Staff report

A statewide initiative to ask voters to change portions of three crime-related laws is picking up steam in Santa Clara County.

Over the last week and a half, both the Morgan Hill City Council

and Gilroy City Council passed support resolutions for a Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, which would change portions of voter-approved Proposition 47 and 57, as well as Assembly Bill 109, to reclassify current “nonviolent” crimes as “violent” to prevent the early release of inmates convicted of various sex and assault crimes.

The initiative also aims to reform the parole

system to stop early release of violent felons, expand parolee oversight, strengthen penalties for parole violations, reform theft laws, and expand DNA collection for drug, theft, domestic violence, and other crimes. It is supported by the California Police Chiefs Association, The California District Attorney’s Association, and the Peace Officers Research Association of California.

Morgan Hill’s city

council is supporting the initiative because they think it supports their top ongoing annual priority for the city: enhancing public safety, according to Morgan Hill Public Information Officer Maureen Tobin.

Certain types of crime are on the rise in Morgan Hill, where overall property and violent crime is up 13 percent, in recent years. While city staff and MHPD can’t directly connect the local crime

uptick to Props 47 and 57, and AB109, they are convinced that the long-term impact of these laws will be to reduce safety in the community.

The Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act will “add more crime types to the list of violent crimes,” Tobin said. These include rape of an unconscious or intoxicated person, shooting into an inhabited ➝ New Props, 13

City freezes developer fees for three years FEES WILL STAY AT 2016-2017 RATE Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

With a goal of spurring additional commercial and industrial growth in Morgan Hill, the city council approved a Development Impact Fee Freeze Program, which will peg impact fees at the 2016-17 rate for the next three years.

In an attempt to capitalize on the ever-expanding economic growth of the Silicon Valley region, Morgan Hill hopes the freeze in fees will help to alleviate the high costs of construction and labor costs

by keeping impact fees at who are trying to cona lower rate, according to struct commercial projects city staff. in a market that is chalBy locking the fees at lenged by the rising conthe 2016-17 rate, develop- struction costs.” ers are shielded from the Attraction and retenannual cost of livtion of manufacing expenses and turing are one of other infrastructhe cornerstones of ture cost adjustthe city's Economic ments that happen Blueprint, a docuon a yearly basis. ment intended to, “We are trying “further the comto be very stratemunity's quality of gic and intentional life by attracting about the type of Edith Ramirez investment, develdevelopment we opment, and jobs want to attract to Morgan that will ensure continHill,” said Edith Ramirez, ued economic prosperity,” City of Morgan Hill Eco- according to city staff. nomic Development The Economic BlueDirector. “This Impact Fee print, which the council Freeze Incentive Program approved in April 2017, provides certainty to both identifies four key indusbusinesses and developers tries, which are of prime

importance to the economic health of Morgan Hill. They include; Innovation and Advanced Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Healthcare.

As of today, Morgan Hill has 247 acres of vacant industrial and commercial property available for developers, along with a 1 percent industrial vacancy rate, according to city staff.

“While we are offering some savings and certainty to developers, we expect to be able to recover those incentives by collecting revenue such as sales tax and property tax,” Ramirez said. “The city only collects nominal revenue from vacant and undeveloped parcels, any development

we attract in the next three years will be able to provide positive cash to the city for years to come.”

The various impact fees paid by developers range from use of water, sewage, storm drains, police, fire, traffic impacts; even Burrowing Owl mitigation—a law meant to protect the animal’s natural habitat. The average cost depends on the size of the lot, along with the type of usage.

In 2016 a consulting firm, Strategic Economics, conducted an analysis that created a prototype project development costs in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and San Jose. Based on the applicable fees, the study concluded that fees for

an auto dealer would be $807,000; a hotel would pay $978,000; and a 150,000 square foot high tech/research and development space would cost $1.3 million in fees.

Impact fees are designed to pay for a new construction project’s impact on a city’s infrastructure. These fees, which are collected by the city, are used for capital improvement projects and can only be used to build additional city infrastructure and facilities, not for the ongoing cost of maintenance or operations.

Impact fees don’t go into the city’s general fund and are instead put into separate funds depending on the purpose of the fee.

Borgioli toughs it out for March 6 meeting DRIVER WHO HIT TRUSTEE AND DOG NOT CHARGED, POLICE SAY Scott Forstner Reporter

trustees to participate in the meeting via teleconference. Board President Tom Arnett was in Texas on business, while Trustee David Gerard was unable to attend and called in from his Morgan Hill residence.

“With the lacerations and everything on my face, I really don’t want to be the talk of the meeting. I don’t want to put attention on me,” said Borgioli. “Plus, I can’t drive and I have locked leg brace,” he added.

Borgioli must use a walker or cane to get around since returning home from the hospital March 2.

At about 4:30pm Feb. 26, Borgioli was crossing La Crosse Drive from Vineyard Boulevard with his two

Dalmatians when he was struck by a vehicle. Borgioli briefly lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. One of his dogs, 5-year-old Morty, was struck by the same vehicle and was taken to an animal hospital, where he had internal bleeding. Morty and Borgioli returned home the same day. The younger Dalmatian, Finn, avoided any injury.

“If the dog would not have pulled through, this would have been that much more worse on my father,” said Gino’s son Scott Borgioli, the oldest of three siblings. “I think my dad would have definitely been declining in health because that dog means the world to him.”

Special to the Times

At 72 years old and one week removed from being struck by a car while walking his dogs on La Crosse Drive, Morgan Hill Unified School District Trustee Gino Borgioli was determined to attend the March 6 meeting.

“There’s several items that I think need an experienced board member’s input on, and I wanted to make sure I’ll be able to participate,” said Borgioli in a phone

interview Tuesday morning prior to teleconferencing in for the MHUSD Board of Trustees meeting. “You’re probably going to see me the quietest you ever saw me at a meeting, with the exception of a couple of items.”

Borgioli, who is recovering from a concussion, knee fracture and lacerations to his face and hands, participated in closed session, listened in on the first two hours of the public session—casting his vote on a few items—and then posed at least three questions to a legal expert during a board discussion on the Brown Act open meetings law. He then hung up from his teleconference line to rest.

He was one of three

RECOVERING Gino Borgioli was walking his two dogs,

Morty and Finn, when he and Morty were hit by a car Feb. 26.

The driver of the vehicle that hit Borgioli “has no charges pending in the collision, and impairment

was not suspected at all in this case,” according to Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Troy Hoefling.

OPINION FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Community cannabis survey comes to town’ Regardless of how the survey turns out…..there will be pot in MH…..too much money to be made by the MH City to pass up the opportunity(especially when they don’t have RDA money to play with anymore)….and the black market will still be booming because of the high tax rate they will charge…at 35%. Most things come down to money…and that is what this is all about....and when you have a councilman say: “It could be a great opportunity for our city if implemented right. Let’s change the stigma of cannabis and its use. Prohibition has never worked!”...you know the health of the community is not at the forefront.

Affordable housing and clean San Martin coming your way

O

ur housing market affects everyone—from renters, to homeowners, to the homeless.

The high cost of living and lack of housing supply in our area has created the perfect storm.

Last month, I attended a meeting of the “San Jose Residents for Housing Solutions” to talk about some of the ways that the county is addressing this issue. When voters approved the Measure A Housing Bond in November 2016, it enabled the county to borrow up to $950 million by issuing general obligation bonds to acquire or improve real property.

This means that the county is helping to provide affordable, local housing for vulnerable populations, as well as moderateincome first-time homebuyers.

The first six projects are underway in San Jose, Cupertino, Gilroy and Morgan Hill and are creating 350 new housing units consisting of permanent supportive housing, extremely low and very low income housing. There is so much more to do, but we are headed in the right direction. Additionally, we are working with San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo on the Veterans “All the Way Home” program to end homelessness among veterans. As of today, over 891 veterans have been housed through this program. The campaign works with landlords and apartment owners to increase access to rental units for homeless veterans and their families.

Grab your gloves and join me for the San Martin “Trash Bash” Litter Pick Up on Saturday, March 24 from 8:30am to 12pm at the Sig Sanchez Government Center, 80 Highland Ave., in San Martin. Volunteers are needed to help clean up illegally dumped trash and litter along public roadways and waterways in San Martin. This event will happen, rain or shine. Registration will be open to all volunteers age 16 or older. Liability waivers must be signed by all volunteers or

I’m with Rene Spring, if it can be regulated and enforced with a self sustaining tax, then that’s fine.

Without a tax it becomes one more burden placed upon an already underfunded MHPD. In addition, the MHPD should receive an equal dollar amount of new construction impact fees as Parks and Recreation.

Safety trumps fun and games.

Re: ‘Steve Tate gives State of the City address’ I wonder why we don’t have money to fund basic necessities like infrastructure or police. We’re selling $1 million dollar plus homes throughout town, giving city council members several hundreds of thousands on home loans, and property taxes have risen sharply over the last few years. We give breaks to people like Frank Leal and other developers so our town can look like it has it together when behind the gates, we’re in dire need of money. What a sad state of affairs. We need a fresh, new mayor to lead our city into the next chapter.

“David Edelstein” via morganhilltimes.com Maybe we would have the money we need to pay for police officers and repair our roads if we did not spend over $10.3 million on the downtown mall and Granada; which we then sold to Leal for $1.4 million and proceeded to give Leal an additional $700k to fix up the Granada. That is an net expense to our city of $9.6 million for which we got what exactly? A Granada that is now an event center that caters to the rich and another hotel that will cater to who exactly?

Not a great way to spend taxpayer’s money. That money that we wasted downtown, under this mayor’s leadership, would have paid for those additional 8 police officers for 8 years! I am not sure if these decisions are made due to ignorance and stupidity or just good old fashioned corruption. Either way we are in desperate need of common sense leadership that will make our infrastructure and safety a priority, not an afterthought that requires higher taxes.

Re: ‘Building continues downtown’ I have been a big fan of the redevelopment downtown and I think it adds tremendous value to the community....but $10M for two buildings that are resold six years later for $1.5M? Who authorized the original purchase? Why is there such a discrepancy between the two numbers? Were we ripped off when we bought the properties, or ripped off when we sold them? I’m sure that the new buildings will be great and I’m really looking forward to them, but more investigation should be done to show whether this is a scandal or just errors in management. Is someone getting rich off of these sales? What about the rest of downtown? What was the total cost the RDA paid for all of these parcels, and how much were they ultimately sold for?

Students celebrate Dr. Seuss MORGAN HILL STUDENTS JOIN ANNUAL READ ACROSS AMERICA CELEBRATION Debra Eskinazi

Magazine and Features Editor

Students at Nordstrom Elementary School propped open the pages on Friday March 2 for the Morgan Hill Unified School District’s fifth

annual read-in event. The celebration is part of a nationwide reading celebration known as Read Across America (RAA), presented by the National Education Association.

Kids sat neatly in rows and listened to rhyme, riddle and prose, while teachers and volunteers donned “Cat in the Hat” paraphernalia in several classrooms throughout MHUSD, and read books by a variety of contemporary children’s book authors.

Each year, the national program offers a varied collection of books written by and for a diverse bunch of book lovers, and exemplifies the RAA theme: “Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers.”

The event, which takes place on the same day each year, marks the birthday of innovative and whimsical children’s book author Dr. Seuss, who, this year would have been 114 years old.

MHUSD to allow student activism Scott Forstner Reporter

Morgan Hill Unified School District’s superintendent sent out a March 7 letter to all “employees, parents, guardians and students” regarding the district’s strategy to allow for student participation in planned school walkouts and protests.

“Many of our students, and several parents and community members are supporting two planned or staged demonstrations at our schools,” wrote MHUSD Supt. Steve Betando, listing the March

14 and April 20 dates for the staged demonstrations.

“The purpose behind these demonstrations is twofold,” he continued in his message. “One goal is to honor the lives of the students lost in the Parkland (Fla.) shooting, and the other objective is for students to use their voices to enact change in government policies surrounding gun legislation.”

District officials have instructed school principals and staff to plan “for potential or spontaneous peaceful demonstrations,” according to Betando.

For the March 14

walkout—planned for a 17-minute span between 10am to 10:20am to honor each life lost in February at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School—the district is allowing high school and middle school students “to exit their classrooms and congregate in a designated area on campus in order to give them the opportunity to express their feelings about the victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida in a supportive and caring environment.”

For the April 20 demonstration, scheduled for 10am—the 19th anniversary

of the Columbine (Colo.)

High School mass shooting—MHUSD high school sites “will rearrange their bell schedule for the day so that a voluntary period of civic activity can take place.” Students are not required to attend the forum, and alternate classroom assignments will be given to those students who choose not to participate. At each middle school, “principals are arranging individual activities for their schools. Each site will be communicating those activities to their students and parents,” according to the letter.

In both instances for elementary school students, the district believes “participation in such events may increase the sense of fear and anxiety and would create additional safety concerns in ensuring sufficient supervision.” The letter continues, “If parents would like to remove their child(ren) from class for the designated 17 minutes (March 14), they may contact the school office to make arrangements in advance to do so.”

As for April 20, parents of elementary school students can make

arrangements to take their children but “students kept home from school or taken out of school early without a reason permitted under Education Code 48205 will be considered unexcused.”

In conclusion, Betando states: “Our students have a powerful voice that can effect change, and it is our duty as educators to support our students through difficult events. This is an opportunity for us to provide guidance on how students can be civically engaged and politically aware through an educational lens.”

School districts update safety measures School Safety, 1 Police Chiefs’ Association used funds from the state Homeland Security Grant Program to finance the video, which casted Gilroy students in an active-shooter-on-campus dramatization and informed viewers of the appropriate actions to take in such a case.

“We’ve been taking this serious for a long time and do everything we can possibly do to prepare for the unlikely event of a school shooting in Gilroy,” said Gilroy Supt.

Debbie Flores, who also offers up the school campuses to Gilroy police officers to carry out their own livetraining drills when school is out. “It is the top priority in this district to make sure our students are safe and that we’ve done everything to make sure they are safe.”

In preparing for the worst case scenario—one that no school employee hopes to ever encounter but must be prepared for—area school districts such as those in Gilroy, Morgan Hill and Hollister have long-established, state-mandated, comprehensive school safety plans that are revisited on an annual basis with assistance from local police, sheriff, fire and other emergency response agencies.

“Anytime we have an incident, whether it be local or a national type like in Florida, we have a sitdown to take a look at what the initial findings were and look at our procedures to see are there any gaps based on that,” said San Benito High School Principal Adrian Ramirez, who conducts an active shooter drill each semester on his campus so staff and students are equipped to handle such a situation.

“Unfortunately, each of these incidents gives you some sort of insight into different behavior and tactics being used. We always have to make sure we’re on top of everything,” he said.

On Feb. 14 in Parkland, Fla., a single-shooter entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students, injuring many more, in one of the nation’s deadliest mass shootings. Shortly after, police officers arrested 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled

from the high school.

Cruz, who is alleged to have used a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle, has since been charged with multiple counts of murder.

“For any school to think that something like that could not possibly happen on their campus is being naive,” Ramirez added.

Immediately after the Parkland tragedy, State Schools Supt. Tom Torlakson sent “thoughts and prayers to the families of those killed and wounded in this horrible mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School” and also reminded school districts to update their school safety plans.

In Morgan Hill, one day after the Florida shooting, Supt. Steve Betando, along with Morgan Hill Unified principals, met with School Resource Officer Jeff Brandon of the Morgan HIll Police Department to debrief on the latest mass shooting.

“We discussed the circumstances about the Parkland incident known to us at that time,” said Betando, who sent out a letter to Morgan Hill families notifying them of the extensive measures taken to assure student safety at local schools.

“The group discussed our safety protocols, the site plans and the intruder response training that was put in place in 2014.”

San Benito High School District Supt. Shawn Tennenbaum described the high school’s safety plan as a “work in progress” since they are “continually making upgrades and incorporating best practices.”

“Unfortunately, the most recent tragedy in Florida, it heightens the alarm bell.

[School shootings] are more frequent now than ever in our country, more devastating,” Tennenbaum said. “Our utmost charge as a school district is to ensure a safe environment for not only our students but our staff as well.”

School resource officers and juvenile detectives joined teachers, administrators and counselors at a fourhour workshop on “School Violence and the Active Shooter” at the Gilroy Police Department this week.

The March 5 training session for 60 people from throughout the Bay Area was presented by the Public Safety Training Institute

MORE SCHOOL SAFETY INFORMATION Run If it is safe to do so for yourself and those in your care, the first course of action that should be taken is to run out of the building and far away until you are in a safe location.

Students and staff should be trained to •Leave personal belongings behind; •Visualize possible escape routes, including physically accessible routes for students and staff with disabilities as well as persons with access and functional needs; •Avoid escalators and elevators; •Take others with them, but not to stay behind because others will not go; •Call 911 when safe to do so; and •Let a responsible adult know where they are.

Hide If running is not a safe option, hide in as safe a place as possible. Students and staff should be trained to hide in a location where the walls might be thicker and have fewer windows. In addition: •Lock the doors; •Barricade the doors with heavy furniture; •Close and lock windows and close blinds or cover windows; •Turn off lights; •Silence all electronic devices; •Remain silent; •Hide along the wall closest to the exit but out of the view from the hallway (allowing for an ambush of the shooter and for possible escape if the shooter enters the room); •Use strategies to silently communicate with first responders if possible, for example, in rooms with exterior windows make signs to silently signal law enforcement officers and emergency responders to indicate the status of the room’s occupants; and •Remain in place until given an all clear by identifiable law enforcement officers.

Fight If neither running nor hiding is a safe option, as a last resort when confronted by the shooter, adults in immediate danger should consider trying to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter by using aggressive force and items in their environment, such as fire extinguishers, and chairs.

In a study of 41 active shooter events that ended before law enforcement officers arrived, the potential victims stopped the attacker themselves in 16 instances. In 13 of those cases they physically subdued the attacker.

While talking to staff about confronting a shooter may be daunting and upsetting for some, they should know that they may be able to successfully take action to save lives. To be clear, confronting an active shooter should never be a requirement in any school employee’s job description; how each staff member chooses to respond if directly confronted by an active shooter is up to him or her. Further, the possibility of an active shooter situation is not justification for the presence of firearms on campus in the hands of any personnel other than law enforcement officers.

and paid for by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The attendees included representatives from Gilroy Unified School District, San Benito High School, San Juan Bautista Unified School District, Morgan Hill Unified School District, and the Gilroy, Hollister and Morgan Hill police departments.

“This is a tough topic, but we have to talk about it,” said Mike Elerick, who led the session.

The classroom workshop discussed best practices, identifying

behaviors, reporting procedures and security systems.

The most important thing for schools is “they need a plan in place to make sure they have a single point of contact for parents, students and staff—from janitors to teachers,” said Elerick.

He said he has conducted about 40 “active shooter” workshops in California since the program began three years ago.

Many school districts, like those in Morgan Hill, Gilroy and Hollister,

employ school resource officers who are assigned to one or more campuses and are another line of defense in the case of emergency.

“We have a great collaboration with the Hollister Police Department,” Tennenbaum said. “Our school resource officer is invaluable.”

Officer Juan Guevara, with the Hollister Police Department, has been the resource officer for San Benito High School for more than two years. Guevara is one of three Hollister police officers (the

other two are assigned to middle and elementary schools) working in partnership with San Benito schools to help ensure a safe school environment. Morgan Hill has one resource officer, while Gilroy employs two resource officers at each of its high schools who are also in charge of their respective feeder schools.

Through the partnership between police and schools, Guevara said they have established a uniform ➝ School Safety, 17

We have made a commitment to making school safety the first priority and worked hard over the past four years to make improvements in our school safety and security. We won’t stop improving.

Cities push for justice reform initiative New Props, 1 dwelling, assault with a firearm or other deadly weapon, solicitation to commit murder and abducting a minor for prostitution.

“The crimes listed above are not on the rise; however, the early release of those who have committed heinous acts as (those reclassified by the earlier laws) foretell a future with increasing crime,” Tobin said. “The initiative seeks to prevent future residents from becoming victims of violent crime.”

The proposed ballot measure will also “provide some of the necessary sanctions to help hold offenders accountable in custody and post-release, and restore some of the necessary tools that officers to ensure safety,” Tobin said.

These tools include conditions of probation that can be imposed years after a defendant is released from prison or jail.

South Valley support

City and police officials in Gilroy have been hitting the pavement in support of the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act. “The bottom line is I

think that if we can find ways to rehabilitate people, that is fantastic. I completely support that,” Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said. “The idea of this (initiative) is not aimed at those people. It is aimed at those who do not choose to avail themselves of those opportunities and continue to choose a life of crime. There needs to be consequences to deal with those people.”

Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco spent a few hours Saturday morning at First Street Coffee helping residents collect signatures for the new initiative, which needs 365,880 signatures

by August to qualify for the November election.

Over 100 signatures were gathered in two hours, he said.

Velasco said he supports the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018 because of the ill effects of Prop 47, 57, and AB 109.

“It is creating havoc in cities up and down the state,” Velasco said Tuesday. “It is impacting the quality of life of our residents. It is becoming a strain on public safety services.”

AB 109, which

Governor Jerry Brown signed in 2011, transferred responsibility of supervising certain felony offenders and state prison parolees from state prisons and state parole agents to county jails and probation officers.

California voters approved Proposition 47 in November 2014, which reduced certain drug possession felonies to misdemeanors and also required misdemeanor sentencing for petty theft, receiving stolen property, and forging or writing bad checks all to the amount of $950 or less. Prior to Prop 47, the dollar threshold for theft to be considered a felony was $450.

“If someone comes into your house and steals something from you, as long as the value is less than $950, if we caught and arrested them we would give them a citation ticket and let them go,” Smithee said. “They could come back and do the same thing and still get the same ticket. It does not matter how many times. The result is never going to be more than getting a ticket and let go again because there is no sanction for how many

“I will present it to the city council for their consideration,” Reynoso said.

“If passed, all we are asking for is their support in getting this initiative on the ballot and letting the citizens of our community and the state vote on it.”

San Benito County Sheriff Darren Thompson, who supports the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, said he hopes to approach the San Benito County Board of Supervisors in the near future to see if they would support the initiative.

“The previous measures, Proposition 47, 57, and AB 109, are designed to reduce state prison population, they are not designed to increase public safety,” Thompson said.

“Certainly some adjustments are in order to those original measures.”

Velasco said he hopes the initiative will be able to collect enough signatures to go before voters statewide in November.

For more information on the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018, visit www. keepCALsafe.org.

(This initiative) is aimed at those who do not choose to avail themselves of those opportunities and continue to choose a life of crime.

There needs to be consequences to deal with those people.

Resource officers help keep campus safe School Safety, 10

heightened awareness of security,” Brandon noted.

Local school districts installed multiple security measures at their schools to ensure safety long before the Parkland shooting. In Gilroy, along with active shooter training for staff and bi-annual “code red” drills, some of those practices include school safe locks installed at the middle and high schools, perimeter fences and single point of entry for all school sites.

“Anytime a major school shooting occurs, we take a look at our safety plan again and ask ourselves, ‘Is there anything more we can do to assure our schools are safe as possible?’” said Flores, who was set to meet this week with district administrators and local law enforcement to go over their plan with insights from the Florida shooting.

At Morgan Hill Unified, which includes Morgan Hill, San Martin and South San Jose, Betando notified parents and families of the “Five Powerful Strategy Fields to Improve Student Safety of Campus,” which are Prevention, Policy, Protocol, Practice and Public Information. The Morgan Hill school board adopted a resolution March 6 calling for stricter gun laws.

“We have made a commitment to making school safety the first priority and worked hard over the past four years to make improvements in our school safety and security,” Betando said.

“We won’t stop improving.”

“The responsibility of the resource officer is to be on campus, assist the schools, evaluate any suspicious activity that may be going on, patrol the area and just show a strong presence that you are there,” said Guevara. He parks his squad car in the front of the high school, like most resource officers assigned to schools, so “anyone who drives by can see me there.”

Officer Jeff Brandon is in his fourth year as the resource officer in Morgan Hill, dividing most of his time between Live Oak and Ann Sobrato High Schools.

He is also assigned to Britton and Martin Murphy Middle Schools, and Central Continuation School.

Brandon said he’s built invaluable relationships with both staff and students over his tenure that have helped in his job of making safer schools.

“A lot of students seek me out to discuss problems they may be having.

They know they can report things to me and come to me if they have any personal issues that they don’t want to follow them later on in life,” Brandon said.

Brandon and Guevara said they haven’t received any threats at their respective school districts in any form since the Florida mass shooting. “If anything there’s been a

The Flying Lady restaurant Learn about Morgan Hill landmark, the Flying Lady restaurant, at a 10 to 11:30am April 7 presentation at Hiram Morgan Hill House, 17860 Monterey Road. Built on a grand scale by Irv Perch and named for his wife, Jan, the Flying Lady Restaurant was open from 1971 to 1994. In fact, there were two Flying Lady restaurants: the first was a small restaurant with seating for about 200 people, which opened in 1971. Not satisfied with the small quarters, Perch built the Flying Lady II, which in 1981 was one of the largest restaurants in the world with seating for nearly 2,000. The Flying Lady was also one of the most unusual restaurants in the world, with seven fullsized antique aircraft hanging from the ceiling and more than 100 scale model aircraft “flying” over the heads of the diners on a moving track.

But why would anyone build a huge restaurant out in the rural foothills of Santa Clara County? What made the Flying Lady a success and what happened to it? Presenter Julie Perch Belanger, daughter of Irv and Jan Parch, will discuss some of these questions, and share treasured family photographs and movies. You will learn the fascinating story of the Flying Lady, how Julie met her husband, Pat Belanger, there and how they were married at the restaurant (in an airplane, of course).

Cops and robbers The 2018 Cops & Robbers Ball, a fundraiser for public safety in Morgan Hill, will take place 5pm to 10:30pm April 21 at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center, 17000 Monterey Road.

The South Valley Civic Theater presents “Thoroughly Modern Millie” from Feb. 23 to March 17.

Showtimes are scheduled for 8pm Fridays and Saturdays, as well as 2:30pm Sundays at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, 17090 Monterey Road. Set in New York City in 1922, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life.

Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man, and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage and the man she falls in love with doesn't have a dime to his name... or so he tells her.

PRA has more than 100 volunteers donating thousands of hours to the park each year through events, trail and spring restoration, building maintenance and controlled burns.

“There’s a whole training program to learn about the plants and animals, geology, history and, we have a horse patrol group and I’m the head of that too,” Bargar said.

With exposure to PRA’s Ranch Day and programs

like Raincoats and Rubber Boots, Bargar said the park was able to stay open when state funding dried up a couple years ago because people had a vested interest in their neighborhood.

“Private funding kept it going,” Bargar said. “If people are aware of Coe Park and they use it and they love it, they will be more willing to spend the money on their taxes to keep it open.”

When the trails are less muddy, PRA even has bikes for kids to borrow and invites them on trails with knowledgeable guides who help the kids learn the ropes about the terrain.

A volunteer with PRA for more than 30 years, Bargar said not enough people are aware of the amazing space—more than 87,000 acres—to romp around in at Henry W. Coe State Park.

SPORTS Bulldogs on the attack

STEADY LEFTY Sobrato High sophomore Alexis Parish delivers a pitch during the team’s loss to Valley Christian Monday. The left-hander will be one of the top pitchers for a Bulldogs squad that is looking to make a move up the Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division standings.

is in good hands whenever the sisters are on the field.

“Samantha is real vocal, super positive, a great hitter,” Cognetti said. “Both Parish sisters are phenomenal. They’re great teammates and probably the hardest workers on the team. I’m looking for them to do a lot of great things.”

Ally Nodohara, who has a partial scholarship to play at UC Santa Barbara, had a double in the team’s loss to Valley Christian Monday. Nodohara, a first baseman/center fielder, possesses plenty of pop in her swing, and fellow senior Ashley Burke—who has an academic scholarship and will play softball at Division III program Huntingdon College in Alabama—gives Cognetti plenty of reason for optimism.

“Ally is quick, a lefty

and a superstar wherever I put her,” Cognetti said.

“Ashley hits the ball hard and is another one of our leaders. She’s a good communicator outside of the field and kind of handles things for me when we need messages relayed to the team. She’s kind of my go-to player to make sure the girls know what they’ve got to do.”

Samantha Brenny, a senior shortstop and second baseman, does an excellent job of communicating with the infield to make sure everyone is in the proper position defensively. She will probably end up as one of the team’s leading run producers. Alexis Parish hits leadoff and uses her speed to get into scoring position and wreak havoc on the basepaths. She finished with two hits against Valley Christian,

Robert Eliason

The Sobrato High softball team finished in the middle of the pack with a 7-7 record in the ultra-competitive Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division last season. Coach Julie Cognetti expects this year’s squad to notch a couple of more wins in league play.

“I have high expectations because we have a lot of good talent,” said Cognetti, who is in her first season at Sobrato after being the assistant coach at

Leland last season. “We’ve got a lot of returners and a young pitching staff—all sophomores—but they’re capable of pitching well.”

Cognetti has confidence in pitchers Alexis Parish, Maya Heffernan and Julie Martin in delivering their best when the team needs it the most.

“They all throw different speeds, so it should be a good combination,” she said. “Maya and Lexi have speed and movement on their pitches, and Julie throws a little slower but with movement as well. I’m excited to see what they do.”

Alexis’ sister, Samantha, is a junior catcher who has made a verbal commitment to play at Santa Clara University. So has Alexis.

Samantha has proven to be a strong leader, and Cognetti knows the team

The Bulldogs can expect promising things from freshman Lindsey Martin, whom Cognetti describes as “strong and powerful.”

Deanna Mendes, a senior utility, possesses a good

arm and reads the ball well on defense. At third base, sophomore Madison Fisher and freshman Hailey Cognetti will vie for playing time. Junior Bella Romani also figures to be a key player at shortstop.

EAGLE EYE Acorns senior Michelle Corona makes contact

in Tuesday’s non-league home game against Gilroy.

Even though it’s her first year on the varsity team, junior Nicole Bonino feels comfortable in the circle.

When asked if she has a go-to pitch to get an out, she said, “I like all my pitches.” That is good news since Bonino will be one of the pitchers Live Oak High relies on in its quest to contend for a Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division championship.

KEEP YOUR CAREER ADVANCING WITH REAL PROJECTS AT TOP COMPANIES.

10-4 in the A league last year, and fourth-year coach Sara Porras is optimistic this year’s team can approach or even better that mark this season.

“It’ll be a fun and exciting year,” she said. “There’s so much (softball) talent in Morgan Hill it’s crazy.”

Porras is banking on some of that talent developing into bona-fide standouts this season.

Junior Sammy Evans will also see time in the circle, and Porras hopes Bonino

and Evans develop into a strong combination.

“They are both talented, both promising and can play the outfield as well,” Porras said. “They’ve shown they have the attitude they can get the job done, which is a great mentality to have as pitchers.”

Bonino tops out in the mid-50 mph range, but she’s also adept at throwing off-speed pitches for strikes. Evans’ off-speed pitches are the key to her success.

“Sammy will be able to throw hitters off a bit,” Porras said.

Live Oak has the potential to bash the ball, starting with catcher/third baseman Kelli St. Clair, who has done an excellent job of hitting the last couple of years.

“Kelli hits the ball super strong and is going to have a lot of RBIs and hopefully a lot of home runs,” Porras said. “She is a big-time slugger.” ➝ Live Oak, page 23

Outlaws hope to grow their sport JUNIOR LACROSSE CLUB PROGRAM HAS DONE WELL IN A SHORT PERIOD emanuel lee Sports Editor

having this local club in Morgan Hill is amazing. We’re so happy with the Outlaws. It’s run beautifully, the coaching is great, and the communication is open.”

Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport on the West Coast, and also finding it way in the Midwest and South. It’s long been an establishment on the East Coast, where most of the nation’s prized recruits reside. However, with each passing year players are getting plucked in other parts of the country, a telltale sign that the sport is making major inroads.

Speaking of making inroads, the Outlaws are on the rise, too.

Their 12-and-under team went 4-0 to win the All West Petaluma 7-V-7 Icebreaker Tournament on Jan. 27, the program’s first tourney win in its short history. In that same tournament two years ago, the team couldn’t

A

round 2 ½ years ago, Brad Ledwith and a couple of his friends—who also happened to be parents of youth lacrosse players— gathered for dinner and talked about putting together a lacrosse organization in Morgan Hill.

“I was tired of driving my at the time 8-year-old twin boys to San Jose for them to play,” said Ledwith, a financial adviser and 20-year Morgan Hill resident.

“We put on a clinic for five weeks and charged $100, and here we are 2 ½ years later.”

With the help of friends, coaches and non-profit organizations, Ledwith assembled the South County Outlaws, a youth lacrosse program based in Morgan Hill but serving the entire South Valley, including Hollister.

The Outlaws currently have two teams, a 12-and-under squad and a 10-and-under team, consisting of a total of 35 players.

Most of the kids are from Morgan Hill; however, there there are also some kids from Gilroy and Hollister, including Matthew DeSilva, a sixth-grader at Rancho San Justo. Michelle DeSilva, Matthew’s mom, raves about the Outlaws program and what it means to have a club program in the area.

“We’re so thankful we have a local club we can go to,” she said. “If we didn’t have the Outlaws, we’d have to go to ADVNC (lacrosse program) in San Francisco, so

Fast forward 24 months and the Outlaws are an entirely different program.

“These kids have gotten so much better and improved a lot,” Ledwith said.

Some of the players on the team include Colby Allen, Colin Fisher, Nolan Ledwith, DeSilva,

Ben Ledwith, Dylan Fisher, J.D. Rosyski, Bennett Nishikawa, Luke Richey and Cameron Kendall. In the tournament, Allen and Fisher were the leading goal scorers, DeSilva and Nolan Ledwith were strong defensively, and Ben Ledwith led the team in assists.

Go to morganhilltimes.com to view the full version of this story.

Live Oak softball team looks to reload, not rebuild season, Porras said players are still competing to lock down positions.

“For the most part our lineup is based on who’s hitting,” she said. “Everyone on the team is super talented, but we need players who are going to come through in the clutch and prove themselves to earn that spot in the lineup.”

One of the few returning starters include outfielder Mikahaele Sakamoto, a senior who possesses tremendous speed and can reach base

in a variety of ways.

“Mikahaele is fast and aggressive on the bases,” Porras said. “She can hit the longball, but is also someone who can drop down a bunt and beat it out.”

Infielders Sydney Bell, Michelle Corona and Bella Anglikowski are expected to make an impact with their defense, speed and, if Porras gets her wish, hitting.

“We have a lot of talent in our middle infield,” Porras said. “Players will duke it out for positions through their hitting.”

Bonino said she’s been impressed in practice with Anglikowski, Evans and Bell, who had been recovering from an injury.

“Sydney is doing great, and it’s exciting to see what’s in store for us this season,” Bonino said. “Our team goal is to win league, and if we don’t, as long as we bond well and come together as a team, that is success.”

“I’m excited for this year because we have a lot of juniors and a ton of potential to grow,” Porras said.

From page 22 Junior Ashley Church, a first baseman/catcher, will be relied upon to consistently drive in runs.

“I’m really excited to see her after she came up to the varsity for the CCS playoffs last year,” Porras said.

The Acorns only have a couple of returning starters from last year’s team.

In most cases, that is not a good sign. However, Porras said she’s confident all of the incoming newcomers will progress with each passing week. Since it’s early in the

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: Jennifer F.
