After more than a year, Santa Clara County planners are almost complete with the Environmental Impact Report for the Cordoba Center mosque and community center project in San Martin.

Proposed by the South Valley Islamic Community, the project will eventually be built on a 16-acre undeveloped parcel near the intersection of Monterey Road and California Avenue. The proposal consists of a two-story, 9,000-square-foot mosque; a two-story, 14,500-squarefoot multipurpose building; a four-acre Islamic cemetery; a one-third-acre campground; and additional support and ancillary

Almost all of the Ann Sobrato High School students who participated, one way or another, in the April 20 National Gun

Violence Walkout Day were not even born when 13 people lost their lives in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

However, this generation of students wants their voice to be heard and an ultimate solution to be found that puts an end to gun violence, especially on school campuses.

has been done since then,” said 18-year-old senior Zoie Wise, one of the two lead organizers for a town hall-style meeting held inside the Sobrato theater on Friday. “We’re still having shootings at schools that are just as bad as 19 years ago.”

Just over two months ago, 17 individuals were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when a lone gunman

opened fire on that campus Feb. 14. The suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled from the high school, has been charged with multiple counts of murder.

“I feel (the Sobrato student body) is cohesive, but there’s still a chance something can happen.

It can happen anywhere,” Wise said.

Wise, along with schoolmate Amanda Sjolund,

gave Sobrato students an on-campus option of civic engagement as they invited them to engage with panelists Mike Wasserman (Santa Clara County Supervisor), Larry Carr (Morgan Hill City Councilmember), Gino Borgioli and Mary Patterson (Morgan Hill Unified School District Trustees) and Claudia Rossi (County School Board Trustee). ➝ Walkout, 15

No police consensus on carotid restraint CONTROL HOLD DANGERS MAKE ITS USE LESS FREQUENT Michael Moore Editor

subject is “violent or physically resisting,” or the person “has demonstrated an intention to be violent and reasonably appears to have the potential to harm officers, him/herself or others.”

The policies require that officers can only use the carotid hold if they have successfully completed their respective department’s approved training in its use, “due to the potential for injury.”

Gilroy and Morgan Hill police departments’ use of force policies also note that after a carotid hold has been applied to a suspect, that person “shall be promptly examined by paramedics or other qualified medical personnel.”

In Morgan Hill, Ramirez said officers rarely use the carotid hold, which can only be used in tight “body-tobody” contact when an officer is “in an active fight and other forms of force may not have been effective,” Ramirez said. In fact, he said he can’t remember the last time a local officer used a carotid hold in the field.

“But it is a technique we train for, because it is effective when other methods aren’t working,” Ramirez said. He added it’s also an option to avoid using “impact weapons,” also an approved use of force method for local departments, which are more likely to injure the suspect.

Gilroy policy unchanged

Gilroy Police Sgt. Jason Smith said trained officers are still permitted to use the carotid hold in Gilroy following the Feb. 25 death

of Juarez. The department has not made any changes to its use-of-force policy since Feb. 25, but Smith said, “The Gilroy Police Department constantly evaluates our policies to make sure they are lawful, relevant, and they meet the needs of the department and the community.”

Officers in Gilroy are trained every two years in the application of the carotid hold, Smith said.

This training is conducted

by California Peace Officer Standards and Training certified instructors. The most recent training for Gilroy officers was a four-hour session in the fall of 2017.

Gilroy Police Department’s “Control Devices and Techniques” policy lists other non-lethal use of force techniques that officers are trained and permitted to use. These include batons, tear gas (for crowd dispersal), Oleoresin Capsicum or pepper spray/projectiles and “kinetic energy projectile” launchers.

The policy addresses the proper escalation of force, noting that an officer should use verbal warnings before resorting to physical force on a subject refusing to comply. “When using control devices, officers should carefully consider potential impact areas in order to minimize injuries and unintentional targets,” the control devices policy states.

Gilroy Police also have a “Conducted Energy Device” policy, which lists the procedures and proper use of Tasers.

In Gilroy, officers in the field generally use the carotid hold less often than

Barry Holtzclaw

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith would like to eliminate the carotid control hold from the sheriff ’s office use-of-force policy, because there is too much room for injury-resulting error.

Local law enforcement agencies say the use of the carotid restraint is not common. However, they train for it and reserve it as a use-of-force technique in the field to compel disobedient, violent subjects to submit to arrest.

The carotid hold recently gained local attention when Gilroy Police reported that officers used the restraint, among other non-lethal techniques, to attempt to arrest an unarmed suspected prowler, Steven Juarez on Feb. 25. Juarez died after a struggle with officers in the Old Gilroy neighborhood. Police said at least one officer applied a carotid hold and used a Taser and other use-offorce techniques on Juarez while he tried to resist.

An investigation into Juarez’ death is ongoing, and authorities have not yet said identified the cause of his death.

The written use-of-force policies for the Gilroy Police Department, Morgan Hill Police Department and Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s Office each contain a section on the officers’

use of the carotid control hold. The restraint—popular among many departments nationwide—is typically applied by wrapping an arm around a subject’s neck from behind, and putting “lateral compression” on one of the the arteries on each side of the neck, according to Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Mario Ramirez.

The Hollister Police Department does not use the carotid hold, according to Hollister Police Sgt. Don Pershall. Officers in Hollister are trained to use and carry Tasers in the field.

A correct use of the carotid hold does not cut off or restrict the subject’s breathing, Ramirez said.

Rather, it is intended to briefly restrict the blood flow to the brain so the subject is momentarily rendered unconscious, allowing the arresting officer to handcuff them. When applied, the restraining officer’s elbow should form a “V” in front of the subject’s throat with a “pocket” between the elbow and throat, ensuring that no pressure is placed on the trachea or back of the head, Ramirez explained.

“It is not a chokehold,” Ramirez said. “At no point are we restricting the airway of an individual.” He added that when applied correctly, “Most are rendered unconscious within five to 15 seconds of the application. Most regain consciousness within 20 to 30 seconds.”

The written policies for both Morgan Hill and Gilroy police spell out precisely under what conditions an officer can apply a carotid hold: when the

SHERIFF LAURIE SMITH Santa Clara County sheriff

wants to remove carotid restraints from approved deputy procedures.

Tasers, Smith said. Sometimes, even just displaying a Taser is enough to compel a suspect to comply, he said.

Smith added that there might be some circumstances when an officer has to use force that is not spelled out in the written policies.

“If you’re in a fight for your life, there might be a metal stick next to you,” Smith said, without referring to a specific incident. “There are times, in a fight for your life, when you use what you can.”

Ramirez said a similar list of control devices, including Tasers and even a flashlight as an impact weapon, is available for Morgan Hill officers. He added that officers may use “personal body weapons”—a technical term for fists, feet and knees—in “close combat altercation.”

Officers also carry firearms, which are used only as a last resort because they are lethal.

Sheriff has concerns

Sheriff Laurie Smith said while the sheriff’s office includes the carotid hold in its use of force policy, she would like to see it removed from approved use in the field because sometimes “people don’t do it right.”

The carotid hold is not approved for use by officers in county jails, which are under the sheriff ’s jurisdiction.

Sheriff ’s deputies do not carry Tasers in the field or in the jails, but Smith thinks they should be permitted in both environments.

“I think it’s a good intermediate step,” Smith said.

“I believe Tasers would decrease deadly force.

We’ve had deputies shoot people who were attacking them with a knife, where I think they would have had time to get their Taser out, and that may have stopped the deadly force.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

End the use of carotid holds

GUEST VIEW

Why do we need six-story hotels?

Y

ou may not have realized this, but the City of Morgan Hill is updating its zoning code. If the proposed code is approved, the city will allow hotels near U.S. 101 to be as high as 65 feet, which is enough to be six stories tall. (Chapter 18.24.030).

One may ask, why do we need sixstory hotels in Morgan Hill? Perhaps you’ve heard the argument that we need taller structures because land is scarce. This type of development will not ease the housing crisis nor provide affordable housing. Instead, it will increase the wealth of developers, at the expense of harming our existing hotels and changing our landscape forever.

The city’s proposed height requirement is a reminder to local hotels that they “doth protest too much.” In 2015, when the city attempted to provide a $2 million dollar windfall to an outof-town developer by changing the zoning to a more valuable one, the Morgan Hill Hotel Coalition collected more than 2,500 signatures for a petition for referendum.

The city refused to place the ordinance on the ballot, and spent nearly $200,000 of your money fighting against your Constitutional right to approve or reject the ordinance. The appeals court agreed that you have the right to vote to approve or reject the zoning ordinance. But instead, the city asked the California Supreme Court to review the case, thereby spending more of your money.

When it came time to update the zoning code, the city decided it would allow any developer to build a hotel twice as tall as the current hotels. If you drive on Condit Road, nearly every hotel is 35 feet high, and three stories tall. The city admits it restricted us. In fact, the 35 feet height restriction still applies

Michael Moore Editor mmoore@morganhilltimes.com

to every other type of building other than hotels under the proposed zoning code. So the city is clearly singling out hotels.

Under the new code, newly developed hotels would have a huge economic advantage over the current ones because they will build twice as many rooms on the same amount of land. When the current hotel owners expressed their concern the city was providing an unfair advantage, the city's response was, “too bad, times have changed.”

The hotel owners suggested a compromise by asking the city to limit the height of new hotels to 50 feet, but the city refused.

Why are hotels different from all other commercial buildings?

Why are hotels different from all other commercial buildings? Is this the way we treat family businesses that have invested in our community for decades and employed dozens of people? Or is this what happens when the hotels stand up to the city?

Perhaps you really want a six-story hotel off the highway? Instead of El Toro Mountain, you can see some high-rise buildings from the highway.

Is that how you would like people who drive by Morgan Hill to remember our town? I hope not.

Please feel free to share your thoughts on this height change to Morgan Hill’s Planning Commission by emailing john.baty@ morganhill.ca.gov.

Two months after the death of Steven Juarez while in the custody of Gilroy police, the investigation of the exact cause of his death continues. While the police and the district attorney’s office are investigating whether police were responsible, they have said little about the “non-lethal” methods used by police to restrain the 42-year-old Gilroyan.

What police did say, two days after the Feb. 25 death, was that multiple officers used a combination of three things—a Taser stun-gun, “physical force,” and a neck hold known as a carotid restraint—to bring Juarez under control following a chase through the Old Gilroy neighborhood.

At some point during the struggle, the officers said Juarez “was in medical distress” and they called for an ambulance. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at San Jose Regional Medical Center. A coroner’s report is underway, to determine the cause of death. Footage from body cameras in use by police officers during the arrest has not been released.

Gilroy police said they have not reviewed either the department’s use of Tasers or the carotid restraint technique—or the training procedures.

Hand-held Tasers deliver a jolt of 1,500 volts of electricity to a suspect through a pair of wires propelled by compressed air as far as 35 feet away. The jolt immobilizes its target, in most cases causing a suspect to fall to the ground. Taser International says more than 16,200 law enforcement agencies in more than 40 countries use its devices. They are not without controversy. Some cities, including San Francisco and Berkeley, do not use Tasers.

In Santa Clara County, Sheriff Laurie Smith wants to expand their use, even to allow use of Tasers in the County Jail.

A carotid restraint—where the sides of one’s neck are squeezed to cut off blood flow to the brain—is used by half the nation’s big-city police departments, despite several deaths attributed to its improper use. It is distinct from a choke hold, now prohibited. To perform a carotid restraint, an officer has to be behind the suspect, bending one arm around a subject's neck, applying pressure on either side of the windpipe—but not on the windpipe itself—to slow or stop the flow of blood to the brain via the carotid arteries.

The growing concern is that a small difference in technique can mean life or death. Sherifff Smith told us last week that she wants to eliminate the carotid hold from deputies' available compliance techniques.

The Hollister Police Department does not use the carotid restraint.

Police officers need tools to protect themselves when confronted by dangerous suspects. They also deserve proper policies, training and support in the use of these tools. If techniques were improperly applied and led to the tragic death of Steven Juarez, the department supervisors as well as individual officers must bear some responsibility.

Gilroy should follow the lead of some of their regional and national fellow officers and immediately suspend use of the dangerous carotid holds. They also should review their Taser policies and training to ensure their safe use.

13335 Monterey Road Mon-Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 9:30am-6:30pm

Traffic officers from law enforcement agencies all over Santa Clara County wrote more than 130 citations to Morgan Hill motorists in a four-hour period the morning of April 18.

The special enforcement operation was coordinated among police departments in several cities of Santa Clara County. Morgan Hill has participated in such operations previously, but this one was the first since the city adopted the “Vision Zero” traffic policy, which is aimed at reducing traffic injuries and fatalities, MHPD Sgt. Troy Hoefling said.

A total of 33 officers on motorcycles blanketed problematic traffic areas in Morgan Hill during the April 18 morning commute, according to Hoefling.

“We want (motorists) to be aware, and drive as if there were that many traffic officers in town all the time,” Hoefling said.

Motorists could

scarcely cross Monterey Road, traverse the city’s downtown or pass by certain schools without being observed by a waiting traffic officer, equipped with a handheld radar device to measure speeds.

The operation also deployed volunteers to act as pedestrians who walked back and forth at two Morgan Hill crosswalks, with motorcycle officers stationed nearby to nab any drivers who illegally failed to yield to the walkers. One of these crosswalks was in front of Nordstrom Elementary School on East Dunne Avenue, and the other was at Fifth Street and Monterey Road in downtown Morgan Hill.

A total of 132 motorists were ticketed for various vehicle code violations throughout town during the four-hour operation, Hoefling said. Common violations included speeding, talking on a cell phone while driving, failure to stop at a stop sign, failure to stop for a school bus stop sign and failing to yield for pedestrians.

The officers also issued about 30 warnings to motorists suspected of similar

Hoefling also noted that the month of April is known as Distracted Driving Month, when MHPD and other law enforcement agencies are putting forth extra efforts to enforce and educate motorists about the dangers of distracted driving.

Multi-agency enforcement efforts such as the April 18 operation in Morgan Hill will continue monthly throughout the year in different cities in Santa Clara County. In May, a similar four-hour operation will take place on a date to be announced in the City of Santa Clara, in which MHPD officers will participate.

And such operations have been organized since last year.

On April 26, 2017, officers from various cities issued nearly 200 tickets in Morgan Hill, also during a weekday morning commuting period.

Towing, impound fees to rise in Morgan Hill HIGHER FEES APPLY TO POLICEORDERED TOWS Michael Moore Editor

MorganHillAd10x13.indd 1

Morgan Hill’s franchise tow program was started in 2009, and was revised in 2011 to cut down on some of the labor costs involved in administering it, Guerrero added.

Since then, the city’s costs associated with towing and processing vehicles has risen, and the city has been losing money on towed vehicles.

In 2017, Morgan Hill Police recovered a total of about $113,300 in vehicle release fees ($165 each vehicle) and franchise tow fees ($97 per vehicle, paid by towing companies). But the city’s cost to administer the towing program is about $126,177, or about $206 per hour of staff time, according to Guerrero’s staff report.

Thus, police calculated that a higher franchise fee of $128 would recover the difference in costs, and the council agreed.

Special to the Times

Storage and impound fees for vehicles towed by order of the Morgan Hill Police Department will soon rise, in order to offset the city’s increasing costs, according to city staff.

The Morgan Hill City Council approved the new fees April 4 as an update to the city’s “Two Franchise Agreements” with two local towing companies: Community Tow, and California Tow and Salvage.

Under the new towing agreements, the towing companies’ tow fee charges to vehicle owners will rise from $180 per hour to $225 per hour; the daily storage fee for vehicle owners will increase from $60 to $100; and the towing companies’ “franchise tow fee” paid to

the city will rise from $97 to $128 per police-ordered vehicle towed.

The franchise tow fee is designed “to ensure 100 percent cost recovery” for the police department and its staff who order vehicles to be towed and process the related paperwork, according to MHPD Sgt. Carlos Guerrero.

In the last three years, MHPD has towed an average of 612 cars per year from local streets and properties.

Police order parked vehicles to be towed when they are in violation of city ordinances, abandoned or illegally parked.

The fee increases will also “maintain consistency throughout the region,” reads a staff report by Guerrero.

Besides the franchise tow fee, the city also charges impounded vehicle owners $165 each to release their vehicle to them.

Pinnacles fees rise, cuts loom in future NATIONAL PARK ADDS NEW HIKING TRAIL

By Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

National Park Service

With poppies and other wildflowers in bloom, Bear Gulch filled with water and California condors soaring above volcanic peaks, Pinnacles National Park is in its peak season.

Park rangers say that April is the most popular month for hikers of all ages to enjoy one of the newest jewelt in the National Park system, located at the southwest corner of San Benito County.

The new year saw the opening of a new hiking trail from the western entrance to the park, east of Soledad, and another increase in vehicle entrance fees.

A seven-day vehicle pass now costs $25—five times greater than when the new park opened five years ago—and another $5 increase is expected later this year.

Drastic cuts to national park staffing that had been included in last year’s budget proposed by the Trump Adminstration are on hold, but loom in the new budget year.

In the meantime, the parking is enjoying a bright spring, says Park Ranger Beth Hudick.

She said there are hiking trails that serve the most novice and the most experienced hiker, meandering among jutting volcanic spires, cliffs, and peaks in the dense chaparral country of the Gabilan

Range. She also advised that weekday visits may be a better time for locals, avoiding heavier weekend traffic. She is one of 40 staff that provide sevenday assistance to visitors.

Pinnacles offers 32 miles of trails, accessible from two entrances. There is no road that stretches across the width of the 41-square mile park, connecting east and west entrances. It’s a 7-mile hike from one side to the other.

Geologists say the spectacular rock formations at Pinnacles were formed about 23 million years ago, when the region was all volcanoes.

The east side of the park is located off Highway 25, about 30 miles south of Hollister. The west side of Pinnacles is 12 miles east of Soledad, off Highway 101. Both entrances to the monument are located on Highway 146, which is obstructed within the park boundary by the Pinnacles rock formations.

The Pinnacles Visitor Center, Bear Gulch Nature Center, Park Headquarters, the Pinnacles Campground, along with the Bear Gulch Cave and Reservoir are located on the east side.

The West Visitor Contact Station is on the West side.

Hudick notes that Pinnacles National Park is primarily a hiking park.

The shorter trails are more accessible on the west side of Pinnacles.

Park rules allow pets only in the paved areas of the park, including parking

CALIFORNIA CONDOR Hike in Pinnacles National Park and you might see a condor soaring overhead. lots, picnic areas, and the campground, but are prohibited on all hiking trails.

Pets must be on a 6-foot leash and be attended to at all times.

Pinnacles National Park is a protected habitat for many sensitive and even endangered plants and animals, and strictly prohibits pets on all hiking trails.

Hudick said “flat, easy trails”—one a mile and another 1.7 miles— are accessible from the west

side parking lot and visitor center.

President Trump’s proposed Interior Department budget for the 2018 fiscal year —still under review—would increase funding for energy development on public lands while cutting virtually everything else, including the National Park Service. Overall the budget would cut the Department of the Interior’s spending by roughly 12 percent.

Last month the National

Park Service released its budget justification, explaining the requested funding levels and their impacts. The National Park Service would lose 1,242 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, leading to significant challenges at almost every park, if Congress endorses the President’s cuts.

At these levels, visitors to Pinnacles, Yosemite and other parks would experience service reductions, and remaining employees will face heavier workloads. At

this funding level, it was estimated that nearly 90 percent of parks would reduce their current staffing levels, leading to a reduction in services to the public. Likewise, support programs would also experience staffing and service level reductions, which further impacts parks.

Environmentalists fear that not only would cuts impact the visitor experience, they would hamper the National Park Service’s ability to preserve natural resources.

Local students join national walkout ➝ Walkout, 1

Carr praised the school district for allowing students to advocate instead of forbidding it. Borgioli suggested taking the next step and going to their state legislature.

“I’m really here to listen and to learn from you,” Patterson said. “I want to know what you’re thinking.”

Before the town-hall meetings were fully underway, other Sobrato students began their march from their northwest Morgan Hill campus to city hall on Peak Avenue. Along the way, they met up with Live Oak High School students and any other local students who wanted to create a larger voice.

“I’m really sad because I feel like we need change and I don’t want any school to be the next victim (of an active shooter),” said 16-year-old Sobrato junior Karla Ureta, who held a sign with the message: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Kiana Nielson, a 16-year-old Sobrato sophomore, walked with a group of friends down Burnett Avenue to participate in the walkout, “because of all the school shootings going on...

We need to restrict guns more.” Joining Nielson was 17-year-old Sobrato senior Nia Lyn, who said she was “on the fence” on whether she was going to walk out of school and take the unexcused absence for the day.

“I think it’s important to advocate for these people who died and advocate

Robert Eliason

“Personally, I was not able to participate in the fullday walkout so I decided to stay behind on campus and do something for those students who can’t leave school for whatever reason,” said Sjolund, a 17-year-old Sobrato senior.

“We just want to make our schools and communities safe places.”

Sobrato Principal Courtney Macko and Superintendent Steve Betando assisted the students in organizing the civic engagement event inside the theater, which was packed with more than 200 attentive students who asked questions and listened to their elected officials.

“We have voices and we want our voices to be heard,” added Sjolund, who urged her classmates to register to vote in order to put the right people in office to make the necessary changes.

A similar town-hall discussion was simultaneously put on by Live Oak High School students, who were joined by panelists Caitlin Jachimowicz and Rene Spring, both serving on the Morgan Hill City Council, Donna Ruebusch of the MHUSD board and Vanessa Sandoval (Chief of Staff for San Jose Councilmember Sergio Jimenez).

Subhed: Different ways to take action At Sobrato, Rossi told students to “reach out and use your power” to hold politicians accountable.

Senior Lauren Buckley, 17, helped organize the Sobrato Walkout and

praised Principal Macko for assisting students in finding ways to foster civic engagement among students.

“I feel like, in order to lead an event, you need leaders from every social group in the school,” said

Buckley, who associated herself with the theater and drama students.

This was the second time in recent months that students from local secondary schools participated in a national movement against gun violence

Mosque public review to begin soon Mosque, 1 structures, according to plans submitted to county officials.

Planners began the environmental study of the project, which is designed to accommodate up to 300 people at a time, in January 2017. Santa Clara County Planning Manager Rob Eastwood said Tuesday that the initial draft of the EIR is slated to be complete by “mid- to late-May.” After that will follow a minimum twomonth public review period “for folks to read the EIR and provide comments.”

Planners will conduct at least one public meeting on the Cordoba Center EIR in San Martin, and county staff will spend several weeks responding to each comment on the EIR submitted by the public, Eastwood explained.

After that, the project will be filtered through the San Martin Advisory

Committee and the county planning commission before the board of supervisors takes a vote on the Cordoba Center’s site plan, Eastwood added. He estimated the public hearings before those bodies could begin in fall of 2018.

The Cordoba Center has generated ongoing skepticism from South County residents who fear the project will be significantly larger than typical existing commercial or religious uses in the rural, unincorporated town of San Martin.

Eastwood noted that the top three concerns that San Martin residents have identified about the project are the potential impact of the cemetery on the groundwater, increased vehicle traffic associated with the site and the visual impact. The EIR will offer a detailed analysis of these and other

potential impacts of the Cordoba Center on the surrounding community.

At previous public hearings on the Cordoba Center project— which was first proposed in 2012—some residents expressed more hateful concerns related to the SVIC members’ religion, culture and beliefs. County planners have told the residents that the county cannot legally reject a project based on the religion of those who proposed it.

The SVIC includes about 400 residents of South County. These families currently attend prayer services in a barn in San Martin.

SVIC spokesman Hamdy Abbass said the SVIC remains committed to developing the new Cordoba Center as a modern central religious and cultural facility for the local

Muslim population. On occasion, they also plan to open up the Cordoba Center to the surrounding community for events.

Family fights intolerance

The SVIC and the Cordoba Center proposal gained national publicity last week when NPR and National Geographic published a lengthy story about the discrimination faced by local Muslim families. The story featured a teen in Gilroy who has been bullied in class because of her religion, and her efforts to use education to eliminate

such ignorance.

The teen’s mother, Noshaba Afzal, told the Times recently that one of the initial town hall meetings on the Cordoba Center—which drew hundreds of residents—“felt like we were living in the 1600s in the deep south” due to the procession of prejudicial comments submitted by attendees opposed to the SVIC. While the effort to build the Cordoba Center continues, Afzal and her daughter—who the Times is declining to name at her mother’s request— have made ample progress

toward creating a more comfortable environment in the Gilroy school.

The teen and her family have worked with Gilroy Unified School District to eliminate culturally insensitive classroom lessons and encourage more education of different cultures.

The Christopher High School sophomore’s academic experience has thus improved since she spoke to National Geographic more than a year ago.

“At this point of time, it’s old news,” said Afzal, who hopes the bullying behavior does not return with the recent publicity.

Carr hearing postponed to June 15 COUNCILMAN’S LAWYER ASKS FOR PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE ON CHARGE Michael Moore Editor

Morgan Hill City Councilman Larry Carr’s April 18 hearing on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge was delayed at South County Courthouse.

Carr’s attorney requested the hearing, scheduled for

a pre-trial conference, be postponed because the attorney is involved in another trial, according to Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Vishal Bathija.

The pre-trial conference was postponed to 9am June 15 at the Morgan Hill courthouse on Diana Avenue.

Carr, 49, has pleaded not guilty to the charge of domestic battery, which carries a maximum sentence of a $2,000 fine or one year in county jail, or both.

The charge stems from verbal argument, that a Nov. 25, 2017 Carr “ripped the incident involvglasses from her ing his girlfriend face and threw of 11 years, with them to the whom he shared ground, causing a home in downthem to break,” town Morgan Hill and pulled her at the time. hair in the proMorgan Hill cess, accordPolice responded ing to the police to the couple’s res- Larry Carr report of the idence that eveinvestigation. ning, and arrested Carr Carr told police at the after taking statements time that any contact from him and his girl- he made with his girlfriend.

has continued to deny the allegations since his arrest.

The victim did not exhibit any injuries or indicate a complaint of pain, according to police.

Carr—who is currently serving in his fifth term as a Morgan Hill councilmember— was convicted of a similar misdemeanor charge in 2015, in relation to an incident at the couple’s previous home March 23. Carr pleaded no contest to domestic

battery and completed a 16-week counseling program. The court later dismissed the charge from his record, at Carr’s formal request. Carr has also denied acting violently in that incident, and he pleaded no contest to avoid prolonged court proceedings.

If Carr is convicted of the 2017 charge, the court can consider the 2015 conviction as a prior offense in his sentencing, according to authorities.

BRINGING THE BOOM Through last week, Carter Tetherow had a 38 stroke average, good for fifth best in the Blossom Valley League’s Mount Hamilton Division. The Sobrato High senior will try to earn a berth to a CCS Regional with a top-tier finish in the upcoming league championships.

in the ultra-competitive Mount Hamilton Division standings.

“The younger guys look up to Carter and Kyle, and they show what it takes to compete in this division,” Letts said. “It’s been a pleasure coaching them the last four years for sure.”

Letts said junior Nathan Arnott—who is the No. 3 player in the lineup—has also made a big impression in just his first year of playing competitive golf.

“It’s pretty remarkable to see what he is doing in his first year, and it shows you what kind of athlete he is,” Letts said.

Tetherow can power it off the tee, as his driver and long irons tend to be the strength of his game. Mentally, Tetherow has learned to move on from bad shots or rounds and not dwell on them.

“The last three years has been a really good teacher for me from the aspect of being able to keep cool in pressure situations,” he said. “I’ve learned to fight through when things are not going my way, and not get upset and let it decide the round for me.”

Tetherow said it’s been great playing with Snopkowski, as the two often get put in the same pairing. Whenever Tetherow is on a bad string of holes, Snopkowski is there to encourage him and vice versa.

“He can calm me down if I’m running a little hot,” Tetherow said. “He helps me get past certain situations. We’ve developed a friendship since the seventh grade, and it’s been great.”

Tetherow grew up playing ice hockey, eventually playing

Carter Tetherow knew he had hit a good shot—he just didn’t know how great it was. The Sobrato High senior hit a hole in one on the par-3, 168-yard 8th hole at Almaden Country Club in a March 27 match against Leland.

Using an 8 iron, Tetherow’s shot took a bounce or two on the green before going into the hole, setting off a celebration with teammate Kyle Snopkowski and Bulldogs coach David Letts.

“I was jumping up and down on the tee box,” said Tetherow, who will play golf at Northwestern Christian University in Oregon next season. “It was my first hole in one ever.”

Said Letts: “He had to shoot the ball over water, and I had the pleasure of seeing it go in. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a hole in one, and it was a great shot needless to say.”

Now that Tetherow has accomplished what many golfers dream of doing, he’s got his mind on an equally if not bigger goal: to contend for a Blossom Valley League championship and earn an outright berth into a Central Coast Section

Regional. Tetherow achieved the latter as a sophomore, but not outright. This season, the 6-foot, 145-pounder wants to leave no doubt as his high school career comes to a close.

“Sophomore year I shot an 81 at BVALs, but I did not make CCS outright,” he said. “They take a look at several players and go back and look at our previous rounds and how well we did.

I was one of the six they took at-large.”

This year’s BVALs are once again at Coyote Creek Golf Club, which isn’t Tetherow’s favorite course. However, Tetherow has played it enough to where he can set up a game plan that will put him in the best position to succeed. As of last week, Tetherow had the league’s fifth best nine-hole scoring average, at 38.

He shot a season-best under 1-under par 35 at Cinnabar Hills on April 17, a round that gives him confidence leading into BVALs. “My shot making and decision-making was solid,” he said. “I was able to work the golf ball how I wanted it to and the decisions I made on what club to hit and what type of shot to hit always turned out to be the best for me.”

If Tetherow can repeat that performance at BVALs, he’ll most assuredly earn an automatic berth into a CCS Regional. Tetherow has enjoyed playing with fellow senior and friend Kyle Snopkowski, who is the No. 2 singles player in Sobrato’s lineup and averaging a 45. Letts said the top two Bulldogs have helped lead the team to third place

RISING TALENT Carter Tetherow is a Sobrato High senior who will

play at Northwestern Christian University in Oregon next season.

10 years overall and the last four with a travel club program.

Playing hockey helped Tetherow make the transition to golf a rather seamless one.

“The fundamentals of ice hockey and golf are kind of similar in needing balance and core strength,” he said.

In the off-season, Tetherow

was either at the practice range or course six times a week, putting in long hours in anticipation of his best season yet. That’s exactly how things have turned out in his senior season, and nothing would satisfy him more than firing off a career round at Coyote Creek in the league championships.

Salsbury develops into bona-fide ace SOBRATO SENIOR BECOMES THE TOP PITCHER FOR A BULLDOGS TEAM THAT HAS WON THREE STRAIGHT emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

After the Sobrato High baseball team suffered a 15-1 beatdown to Piedmont Hills on April 10, the Bulldogs needed a topnotch performance from ace Patrick Salsbury And that’s exactly what they got, as the senior allowed four hits and two earned runs over six solid innings en route to a 6-2 win.

It was a critical victory for Sobrato, which entered the week at 6-8 overall and 4-4 in the Blossom Valley League’s Santa Teresa Division. The Bulldogs have won their last three league games, and are hoping to run the table with four division games remaining.

Against a tough Piedmont Hills—a quality team that beat Live Oak earlier this season—Salsbury utilized a solid fastball and curveball to keep the potent Piedmont Hills lineup off-balance. The 5-foot-8, 160-pound righthander also drove in two runs against the Pirates to help key the victory.

“Hitting hasn’t been my expertise, so that was a nice game I was able to contribute and get on base,” he said. “That was also the best game I’ve pitched so far. It was a really good win for us to be able to come back after they had beaten us. The fastball was my dominant pitch, and it’s something I like to locate and be

efficient with. I have to locate it well because I can’t just blow it by people.”

Salsbury has come on strong at Sobrato after getting cut during his freshman year. It was a humbling experience and yet something needed, as it gave Salsbury added motivation and drive to come back the next season stronger than ever “The most important thing was I didn’t give up on baseball and even played for another league even though my pride was hurt,” he said.

During his freshman year, Salsbury played for the Blossom Valley League Pony Baseball organization, which turned out to be a critical experience for Salsbury moving forward after not making the Sobrato team. Salsbury ended up making the All-Star team, and though it couldn’t take the sting away from not making the Bulldogs squad, it gave him purpose and motivated him to continue playing baseball.

“I was lucky enough I was able to play for Pony Baseball, stay sharp and stay humble so I could prove myself the next year, which I did,” he said. “It was an eye opener and kind of sparked a flame for me to really work hard. I was still hesitant to come back and try out sophomore year because I didn’t know if I had a good chance of making the team. But I decided to take another shot at it and made the team.”

When Salsbury isn’t on the mound, he’s playing

second base and usually in the No. 2 spot in the lineup. In the 2017 season, Salsbury spent most of his time as a reliever and was able to finish some games strong, especially toward the end of the season. Salsbury said he doesn’t plan on playing baseball after this season, and knows the team’s regular-season finale against

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

Independence on May 10 could very well be his last organized baseball game.

“It’s a little heartbreaking,” he said. “But the best way to look at it is everyone has to stop playing at some point—it’s only a matter of time until you can’t play anymore. I’ll always enjoy the sport, though. When the time comes in the future, I’ll probably have my son play baseball.”

Salsbury has made a great effort to improve himself both in the classroom and physically since he entered high school.

Salbury said he had a 3.3 GPA as a freshman and sophomore before skyrocketing his average up after earning a 4.5 GPA as a junior and then a 4.1 in the first semester of the 2017-2018 school year.

For the last year or so, Salsbury has been diligent with strength-training, with the purpose to lose weight—“My entire life I’ve been a chubby kid,” he said—and gain muscle to help in his performance on the field. Salbury credits his dad, Robert, for “teaching me everything about the game and helping me improve.”

O

n Saturday, April 28, 2018, from 11:00am to 3:00pm, a Celebration of Life will be held for Horace Fabing at the family’s home in Gilroy. Horace passed away peacefully on Sunday February 18, 2018 at the age of 92.

Horace was born on December 6, 1925 to Oscar and Emma Fabing in Gilroy. He graduated from Gilroy High School and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He married his wife, Nan, on October 5, 1951 and together they built their home in Gilroy and raised their two children, Cindee and Frank.

Horace worked at PG&E’s Moss Landing Power Plant for 36 years. After his retirement in 1986, his hobbies, particularly his love of railroading, took on new life. He would travel with his speeder car and those of his friends to ride railroads around the western U.S., or ride his 7-1/2 inch gauge trains at the Portola Valley and Alpine RR. He built a garden railroad in his backyard that was for many years included as one of the stops on the Bay Area Garden Railway Societyís annual tour.

Horace was an author, historian, preservationist, and story-teller. He wrote several articles on local railroad history for The Western Railroader and authored Steinbeck Country Narrow Gauge, a book which tells the story of Claus Spreckels and the Pajaro Valley Consolidated Railroad. He enjoyed volunteering at the Gilroy Museum.

Memorials in Horace’s name may be made to the Gilroy Historical Society, P.O. Box 1621, Gilroy, CA 95021; or the Lompoc Valley Historical Society, P.O. Box 88, Lompoc, CA 93438.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOSEPH A. SCHISSLER CASE NO. 18PR182835 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Joseph A. Schissler A Petition for Probate has been filed by Suzanne Ayvazian in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.

The Petition for Probate requests that Suzanne Ayvazian be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. 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. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. 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.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on April 30, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 12 located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. 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. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
