SANTA CRUZ — The Santa Cruz County Public Defenders Office has asked a Superior Court judge be disqualified from hearing one of its cases after the judge was publicly censured last month, and did not reveal the full extent of that censure during an ongoing case. In a filing dated May 27, attorney Jerry Vinluan, who is defending Nino Ruiz on murder charges, stated that Judge Ariadne Symons cannot be trusted to be non-biased after she failed to disclose that she had been sanctioned in a separate case involving the public defender’s office. “Judge Symons’ misleading actions and her false facade of transparency to Mr. Ruiz’s counsel shows that she is absolutely biased towards his counsel,” Vinluan wrote in a court

WATSONVILLE — Mayra Fernandez will soon return to a location that is all too familiar. The Pajaro Valley High School graduating senior will be walking the halls of Cabrillo College in the fall. And while many things have changed since she last visited, her childhood memories of the community college — and the opportunities it provides — have not.

City planning changes for Plaza, Ramsay Park By TONY NUNEZ OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Watsonville Director of Parks and Community Services Nick Calubaquib strongly believes the City is in the midst of a “recreation renaissance.” The number of people at their events is growing exponentially, community involvement and input has been as strong as ever and the City has had an injection of youth in several important leadership roles — Mayor Francisco Estrada, City Manager Matt Huffaker and Calubaquib are all under 40.

E - EDITION - ON LINE @ www.register-pajaronian.com

“We’ve started to rebuild the [recreation] team and there’s new folks in place to drive the direction a little bit differently,” Calubaquib said. “On top of that, we have a brand new city manager as well, who has a different vision for parks and recreation services than there has been in the past. We have a really energized city council that’s also really supportive and invested in making sure our parks and recreation system is top notch and cutting edge. And I think we have a community that’s ripe and ready for different things as well…I think people are really excited to start looking at

our spaces a little differently.” Among the spaces the City is looking to make changes to: the City Plaza and Ramsay Park. The Parks and Community Services department since January has been holding meetings with community members and conducting surveys at local events to draft master plans for Watsonville’s two historic parks. Currently, there are two proposed design plans for the Plaza and one preferred plan for Ramsay — all three come from Verde Design, Inc. of Santa Clara. See PARKS, page A14

City replacing water mains along S. Green Valley Road By TODD GUILD OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — City workers are in the midst of a project to replace aging water main pipes that run under South Green Valley Road, a project that is expected to wrap up by the end of June. The project began on South Green Valley Road near the Home Depot store, and ends at Freedom Boulevard. Phase two of that project will occur at night, when workers will replace water pipes under that intersection, said Watsonville Water Service Manager Steve Hernandez. T he project will continue up South Green Valley Road to Stewart Avenue after that finishes, Hernandez said. Watsonville operates 176 miles of water lines – no easy task in Pajaro Valley’s acidic soil – which wreak havoc on metal pipes, Hernandez said. He pointed to a study com-

paring soils around the world, which showed that Everglades, Fla. and Watsonville share the title of having the most corrosive soil in the nation. “We want to make sure our pipes are going to stand the test of time,” he said. “Everything grows here, but it also eats a lot of stuff up too.”

The city is therefore using zinc-coated ductile iron pipe which, while more expensive than other types of water pipes, is now industry standard for jurisdictions performing similar projects, Hernandez said. He added that Watsonville is the first city in California to use them, and the second in the na-

A ccording to Hernandez, Watsonville is saving money by using its own staff to perform the work.

While it can cost as much as $250-350 per foot to hire a contractor, the city pays about $145 per foot by using its own workers, Hernandez said. “ There is a huge savings, and we’re not trying to make a

profit,” he said. “We’re trying to save money.” A sewer line project slated to start later in the summer will run from Airport Boulevard down Freedom Boulevard and Carey Avenue.

Target gets OK to extend hours, sell beer, liquor By TONY NUNEZ OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — The Watsonville Planning Commission on Tuesday voted 4-2 to approve changes to Target’s liquor license and hours of operation. In the near future Target will be able to sell wine, beer and liquor and stay open into 11 p.m. The decision won’t go into effect until about a month after the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control receives the approval, a representative from Target said. Commissioners Jenna Rodriguez and Anna Kammer both voted no. The extended hours and over-concentration of alcohol-related businesses in the area were a problem for both commissioners. “I have to advocate from my district, the

5th district, and I do have great concerns about the extended hours,” Kammer said. According to the Watsonville Police Department, Target is in a high-crime area and the neighborhood is over-concentrated with off-sale alcohol businesses. There are nine alcohol-related businesses within a quarter-mile radius. Five are “bonafide restaurants” that serve beer and wine, three are stores that can sell beer and wine and one carries a general license that allows the sell of all types of alcohol. WPD Capt. David Rodriguez said the over-concentration and high crime designations were a bit misleading in Target’s case. Since January 2018 there have been roughly 300 calls for service in the area, but only a very small percentage were related to Target, Rodriguez said. Sixty-

eight of those calls were attributed to Target, and only one — an incident of an intoxicated man loitering after hours — was alcohol related. Additionally, Target has twice passed a Minor Decoy Test administered by the WPD. “The complete package for us is that they’re responsible operators,” Rodriguez said. “They work very well with us…We’re in full support of [the changes].” Target has sold wine since 2009, but in a letter written to the planning commission the corporation said it would like to become a one-stop-shop for its consumers — something it has already started to push with the recent upgrades to its grocery section.

The Target Store on Main Street in Watsonville has changed its color scheme from red and white to brown and white.

Planning Commission pushes forward PV auditorium By TONY NUNEZ

By TODD GUILD

OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — The Watsonville Planning Commission on Tuesday unanimously recommended the City Council approve the construction of Pajaro Valley High School’s proposed auditorium. According to Principal Planner Justin Meek, an approval of the 15,000-square-foot, 450-seat state-of-the-art building requires an amendment to the Coastal Development Permit currently in place at the school located at 500 Harkins Slough Road. The auditorium would be constructed adjacent to the cafeteria just to the right of the school’s front entrance. If approved by the council, the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) could at last complete the school’s campus. The school was OK’d by the council in 2001, and opened its doors in 2004. The 2001 approval, however, did not include plans for a sports stadium or an auditorium. It wasn’t until the passing of Measure L, a $150 million bond approved by voters in 2012, that the PVUSD made a push to finish the school. But that proposal was met with heavy pushback from several agencies, including the Watsonville Pilots Association (WPA), which threatened litigation if plans were approved. However, a settlement between the WPA and PVUSD in 2017 allowed the construction

Tuesday’s decision was another positive, long-awaited step toward completing the school. “It sure took us a long time to get here,” said commissioner Jenny Sarmiento, “but I’d like to say congrats to the school district.” Commissioner Phillip F. Tavarez, known as “The Voice of the Grizzlies” for volunteering as the announcer for the school’s football games over the years,

shared the same sentiments. “I know it really does bring joy to the students, the idea of having their own place to be high school kids,” Tavarez said. “It’s nice to see it finally coming to fruition.” Pajaro Valley Principal Matt Levy said the school already has over 70 kids enrolled in band and another 70 signed up for the drama club. The addition, he said, would give them a place to practice and showcase their creativity — something they have not had in the past. “We have freshman excited about this project and we hope they’ll be performing there be-

fore they’re out of school,” Levy said. According to PVUSD Chief Business Officer Joe Dominguez, a review of the proposed plans and the public bidding process would start soon, pending the council’s approval. Dominguez said the construction of the auditorium would be positive for both the PVUSD and the City, which could host events at the center. “Not only is this a resource for our high school, it’s a resource for our community,” Dominguez said.

Riders raise $16.7 million for HIV/AIDS prevention, care

WATSONVILLE — Erica Hernandez grew up in Watsonville, immersed in a community that has been shaped by immigrants since its founding in 1868. These are stories of struggle and triumph, of plowing furrows into rich soil and reaping the crops that would make the Pajaro Valley an agricultural epicenter. More so, they are stories of generations of people simply striving to work and support their families, as children grew into grandparents, and as diesel replaced the steam that replaced horse-drawn plows. Now, with immigration a hot-button issue that too often brings with it a stigma, Hernandez is hoping to tell as many of these stories as she can. S he has created My Immigrant Life Podcast, which launched this week. She is hoping the community will reach out with their own stories. For the uninitiated, a podcast is a downloadable audio file similar to radio shows. They often come as series. “I wanted to capture these stories and put them out in the world,” she said. “For me it was a healing process, getting these stories.” Hernandez, 37, attended Rio Del Mar Elementary School, Aptos Junior High and Aptos High School, and then received a degree in theater from UC Riverside. She now works for

Her first podcast was the story of her friend Arlette Quiñones, who came from Peru with her mother as a young girl, and never knew she was undocumented until she was in her late teens. She also interviewed her grandmother. For future shows, Hernandez plans to interview a Brazilian immigrant who has a Japanese father. She also hopes to talk to a Chinese friend. “I thought, people need to hear that,” Hernandez said. “Overall for me it’s to humanize these people and bring their stories to light.” ••• To submit an immigrant story online, visit linktr.ee/ myimmigrantlife.

More than 2,200 bicyclists, most wearing spandex and many festooned in feathers and other flamboyant finery, made their way through Santa Cruz County Monday as part of the annual AIDS/LifeCycle. T he 545-mile, seven-day journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles was created in 1994 as a fundraiser for HIV/AIDS prevention and care programs. The riders stopped for a brief rest at Monterey Bay Academy on Monday. Chokaé Kalekoa, who said he was “over 50,” was participating in his 21st ride. In doing so, he said he hopes help dismantle the lingering stigma that has come with an AIDS diagnosis since it made its public appearance in the 1980s. Back then, little was known about the disease, and few public resources were available, he said. Worse, organizations such as churches turned their backs on those affected, even as people lost their jobs. “When it hit, it hit hard,” he said. “Nobody knew what was going on. It was really quite overwhelming.” That has changed drastically in the intervening years, with the medical community developing better treatments and closing in on a possible cure. Still, there is much work to be done, Kalekoa said. “I keep coming back because I know it’s doing good,” he said. “(The event) is doing everything they say it’s doing.” K alekoa said he was also riding in memory of numerous friends who have died during the AIDS epidemic. “Hopefully, we won’t have too many more of them,” he

Bicyclists in the annual AIDS/LifeCycle, a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, roll through Watsonville Monday to help raise awareness and funds to combat the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic. said. Launched 25 years ago, the AIDS/LifeCycle is coproduced by Los Angeles LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. It is intended to reduce new HIV infections and improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS. Riders are required to raise at least $3,000 for their participation, although many surpass that goal. So far this year, riders have raised a record $16.7 million, spokesman Gil Diaz said. T he money goes to fund direct services through those organizations to support HIV prevention and care, which in turn is used to help people living

with the disease get treatment. Along the route, riders have access to such amenities as massage, chiropractic services, bike mechanics and a smorgasbord of food. Jake Torrenz of San Francisco said the ride marks his fourth time to join the trek. “It feels great to be riding,” he said. “On the second day you start to feel the energy, with everybody thinking about the ride and feeling the pain of sore muscles. But it’s awesome. We get so much support from people on the side of the road — people thanking us for riding and giving us the thumbs up. And it’s amazing

to be riding through the working lands of our country, the agriculture fields of strawberries and lettuce and artichokes with all the people out here growing everyone’s food.” T he ride debuted in 1994 as the California AIDS Ride before it was reconfigured in 2002 to what is known today as AIDS/LifeCycle, the world’s largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraiser. Participants have raised more than $263 million and completed more than 60,000 journeys from San Francisco to Los Angeles since its inception. ••• For information, visit aidslifecycle.org.

WATSONVILLE — Osler Santillan, one of Pajaro Valley High School’s nearly 300 graduating seniors, said Amesti Elementary School looked very different during his fifth-grade year. “There was never a fence gate here,” Santillan said, pointing over to the front of the school. “It looks different, but I still remember most of it.” Santillan and 66 other graduating Pajaro Valley seniors took a trip down memory lane Monday morning, visiting four elementary schools in Watsonville decked out in their green graduation robes with the hopes of inspiring the next generation of Grizzlies. Dubbed the “graduation parade,” the participating seniors dished out high fives and sage advice for kids at Landmark, Starlight, H.A. Hyde and Amesti schools. Among the questions asked by the kids from Amesti: “How much did you learn?” “This much,” the Pajaro Valley students answered in unison while stretching their arms to the ceiling of the school’s cafeteria. One by one the Pajaro Valley seniors introduced themselves by saying what elementary school they attended and their future plans. Some were getting ready to head off to UC Los Angeles and UC Davis, while others were staying closer to home at Cabrillo College, Cal State Monterey Bay and San Jose State. Pajaro Valley Activities Director Julie Brusa-Wallace started the event last year after seeing similar events on social media and at Alisal High School in Salinas. After only touring Starlight last year, student leadership decided to parade at four schools this year.

The goal of the parades, Brusa-Wallace said, is to show elementary school kids what is achievable through education. “I think it gets them really excited about their future — you see the end goal,” she said. Santillan was one of roughly a dozen students to have roamed the halls of Amesti in his younger years. Longtime Amesti Principal Erin Haley said she saw plenty of recognizable faces in the green-clad crowd. “They all look a little different but I recognize all of them,” Haley said, “I’m really glad they came back.” Seeing the energetic, pintsized elementary school kids served as a bit of motivation for the high school kids, too. “It makes you see how much you’ve really grown,” said Pajaro Valley senior Jayleen Solorzano. “It wasn’t until I saw how little they all looked that I kind of realized how far we’ve all come.” Added classmate and cousin Jackie Solorzano: “You realize how much you’ve evolved over the years.”

SANTA CRUZ — A woman was critically injured Wednesday night in a hit and run crash on Maple Street in downtown Santa Cruz. Police and firefighters were dispatched to Maple Street between Cedar Street and Pacific Avenue just after 7 p.m. for a report of a hit and run crash involving a vehicle versus a pedestrian. Officers found a female adult victim in the roadway pinned underneath a vehicle, Lt. Christian Le Moss said. Firefighters rendered medical aid. Police began searching the area for the suspects who reportedly fled the scene. Witnesses provided a description of two suspects who were seen jumping fences and running north towards Cathcart Street. The victim was later taken to a trauma center in critical condition. Santa Cruz Police detectives also responded and assisted with the investigation. Two Hispanic male suspects, both from Watsonville, were detained by

Stolen city truck bursts into flames By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

SANTA CRUZ—A alleged carjacking by a man celebrating his birthday ended in a fiery crash on Branciforte Drive in Santa Cruz Saturday. Angel Garibay, who turned 36 that day, allegedly stole a marked City of Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation truck from a city employee at 1:36 p.m., the Santa Cruz Police Department said. As Garibay barreled out of DeLaveaga Park on a winding section of Branciforte Drive, he shot across the opposite lane, plowed through a large tree, toppling it onto the roadway, and then careened down a hillside. The crash set the truck ablaze and flames quickly spread into surrounding brush and trees. Garibay was still at the crash site near Glen Canyon Road suffering from “significant injuries” when Santa Cruz Police arrived, police said. A group of officers teamed up to pull Garibay away from the fully engulfed truck, police said. He was taken to a trauma center for treatment. Tony Eliot, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Santa Cruz, said Garibay jumped into the Ford F150 pickup and stole it from a Parks and Recreation worker.

Sheriff’s deputies dismantle two illegal pot grows REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

WATSONVILLE — Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s deputies and the county’s Cannabis Licensing Office have identified and dismantled two illegal commercial cannabis operations, including one of the largest unregulated grow sites in recent county history, county spokesman Jason

Hoppin said. During service of the warrant, investigators found more than 9,734 cannabis plants inside 11, 3,000-square-foot nonpermitted greenhouses. They also found evidence of commercial cannabis cultivation, including numerous generators, pallets of soil and fertilizer. Investigators believe the site was managed by four on-site

staff that lived full-time in a small trailer and allowed sewage and other household fluids to run off onto the property without proper disposal. The site appears to have been active for at least two years, with cannabis crops diverted to the black market, Hoppin said. The property owner faces civil fines, and the property was red-tagged by county regulatory

staff due to numerous building and grading violations. No arrests have been made. In a separate enforcement last week, Sheriff’s Office personnel executed a search warrant at a remote cultivation site north of Boulder Creek, which was discovered while investigating a separate, nearby unregulated commercial cannabis cultivation. This site included four greenhouses, and was operating without a local or state commercial cultivation license. Investigators seized 762 cannabis plants. The operator was contacted by personnel and cooperated with the investigation. The operation is part of a growing problem of unpermitted cannabis grows found in rural parts of the county.

During the week of May 6, state and local officials executed a search warrant on eight land parcels in the 17000 block of Bear Creek Road in Boulder Creek. During the investigation, authorities seized 1,079 plants. They also executed a search warrant for an 80-acre parcel of land in the 500 block of Whalebone Ranch Road in Boulder Creek. There, investigators seized 1,673 cannabis plants inside large, non-permitted greenhouses, 61 pounds of processed cannabis, 50 pounds of recently harvested cannabis plants, 6.9 pounds of processed cannabis concentrate, gold and silver valued at approximately $67,000 and $53,330 in U.S. currency.

o one should force a pregnant woman to have an abortion, a practice in China years ago to address population explosion (the one-child policy). But forcing a pregnant woman to bear an unwanted child is “involuntary servitude.” The key concept here is force. If men and women in a modern society are legally equal citizens, how is it that the radical branch of the Republican Party has been relentlessly trying to eliminate the 1973 law that permits women to make decisions about their own bodies and childbearing? People are entitled to their own opinions on this contentious issue. But they should not have the power to control those who think differently. This personal issue has now become a battlefield that not only divides our two political parties, but also divides Republican-majority states from Democrat-majority states. Ugly bills have been passed in Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, North Dakota, and now Alabama and Missouri. This minority of states enacted draconian laws that they hope will force the abortion issue to the Supreme Court, expecting Roe v Wade to be overturned. Alabama made their bill so repulsive that probably the Supreme Court will not touch it. Their law makes abortion a criminal act, with no excep-

The abortion hypocrisy Local Columnist Dr. Farhat-Holzman tions for rape or incest, and life-time imprisonment for doctors and nurses who do these procedures. They claim this is based on principle that life begins at conception and a fetus is a “person.” Is a pregnant woman not a person? When the woman governor in Alabama held a press conference after signing the bill, a reporter asked her how much money will be allocated to support teen mothers too young to work or mothers with more children than they can support? The answer is “none.” These “baby-lovers” don’t care about their mothers, or incestuously impregnated children, or desperate women having to resort once more into life-threatening illegal abortions. The claim that all life begins upon conception does not account for fetuses rejected by a woman’s body (miscarriage). Nature protects us from a life that should not, and cannot, come to fruition. Apparently,

all life is not sacred. The anti-abortion politicians claim that a woman who gets pregnant did it willingly. What about a raped woman? What about a woman with a brutal partner? What about a child violated by a family member? Does the resulting fetus, that cannot survive outside the woman’s body, have more rights than the woman? Is it not a part of a woman until the moment of birth? The vast majority of Americans (almost 80 percent) believe that women have the right to abortion, with some restrictions, but even those restrictions have limits. A woman in her last trimester whose pregnancy goes very wrong can abort; the law recognizes this contingency. But where the politics of this issue got really ugly is best exemplified by President Trump, who cynically switched from a position supporting a woman’s right to choose to the most extreme form of anti-abortion rhetoric. During his presidential campaign, he actually professed punishing women who aborted with prison, along with her doctors, but no punishment for the man who caused the pregnancy. He was forced to walk back on that one when he faced public outrage. But even more outrageous are the President’s lies about

“doctors ripping babies from their mothers’ wombs,” a reference to a medically needed late-term abortion. He implies infanticide and claims that silly women decide at the last minute not to become mothers. Nobody has a late-term abortion who has any other choice. Republican extremists who have joined the anti-abortion bandwagon not only want to ban abortion, but want to cut funds for contraception, for women’s health centers and support systems for poor mothers and children. More than one political hypocrite has been caught ordering pregnant mistresses to abort or arranged for abortion for errant daughters. The Supreme Court, despite conservative-packing by Trump, has a public image problem. Trump’s two appointees testified under oath that they would respect “settled law” (the Roe v Wade law). If they lied in their Senate hearings, shouldn’t they be subject to impeachment? ••• Laina Farhat-Holzman is a historian, lecturer and author of “God’s Law or Man’s Law.” You may contact her at Lfarhat102@aol.com or www. globalthink.net.

I’ll take memory for $200, Alex

n our way to play golf today, Charlie and I couldn’t think of the name of the movie star who had come up in our conversation. We could remember all the movies he was in, all his co-stars, all kinds of odd trivia about his life and times — everything but his name. That’s all right; sometime when we’re thinking of something completely different, it will come to us. All of us have moments when we struggle to come up with the name of someone or something — the name of an old co-worker, neighbor or shop owner. And when it happens, especially as we get older, we all wonder if this is the first sign of what’s to come. Am I getting Alzheimer’s, or is it just a fleeting senior moment? But the odds that Charlie and I had both lost our minds at the same time seemed a little far-fetched. “We used to forget things when we were 16, too,” Charlie said. “We just didn’t worry about it. I sure don’t remember acing every test I took in high school.” “Yeah, but you didn’t forget that stuff, you were just stupid.

The Village Idiot

Jim Mullen You can’t forget stuff you never knew to begin with.” “It’d be a terrible thing if someone accidentally got hit with a golf club today,” Charlie said, a little too cheerfully. “We didn’t forget this guy,” I said. “We can see his face, we know what films he was in, we know his name — we just can’t pull it up. But it’s in there somewhere. It’ll come to us.” “Google it,” Charlie said. “Google never forgets anything.” “Knowing everything doesn’t make you smart, anyway. An encyclopedia isn’t smart.” “Henry Fonda!” “That’s what I said!” “You never said that.” “But you knew who I was talking about.” “I thought we were talking about Jimmy Stewart.” That night, after Charlie

trounced me on the golf course, I watched James Holzhauer win his 29th “Jeopardy!” game in a row. He has what is commonly called an encyclopedic memory. And so far, he has outplayed 58 people who also have phenomenal memories. But James is 35 years old. As a longtime “Jeopardy!” fan, I’m wondering if there should be a spinoff show for people my age. Say, “Senior Jeopardy.” The rules would be the same, but you’d get a little more latitude with your answers. “I’ll take Movie Stars for $200, Alex.” “He played the Godfather in ‘The Godfather.’” “Who was, that guy who was in that other movie about the boxer who coulda been a contender?” “Could you be a little more specific?” “Who was, the guy who yelled ‘Stellllaaaaa’?” “That’s right. Still your turn, Jim.” “Movie Stars for $400.” “He played Rhett Butler in ‘Gone With the Wind.’” “The guy with the mustache.” “It’s got to be in the form of a question.”

“Who was, the guy with the mustache?” “So close, but our judges say that’s not enough.” “Who was, the guy married to Carole Lombard?” “That’s correct for $400. It’s still your board.” “I’ll take Stupid Questions for $800.” “You’ve hit the Daily Double. How much do you want to risk?” “A dollar.” “Good choice. Why go crazy? This ancient Greek city held the first Olympics in 776 B.C.” “I’ll take ‘Phone a Friend’ on that.” “That’s another show. You pushed the buzzer, now you have to answer.” “What is, Glocca Morra?” “That is so wrong. It’s not even a real place. The answer was ‘Olympia,’ but we would have accepted ‘Oleo,’ ‘Olivia’ or anything close to that. We’ll be right back with our Double Jeopardy round after these commercials for products I hope you’ll never need.” ••• Contact Jim Mullen at mullen.jim@gmail.com.

Law enforcement, media have changed standards for Trump

ne of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation — and there have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn’t.) In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation. Two examples: First is the so-called Steele dossier, the collection of wild allegations against Trump compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Steele’s unfounded accusations — that there was a yearslong “well-developed conspiracy” between Trump and Russia, that Trump accepted “a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin,” and that Russian spies taped Trump watching prostitutes perform a kinky sex act in a Moscow hotel room in 2013 — circulated throughout law enforcement and political circles starting in the summer of 2016. That just happened to be the time the Clinton campaign and some in the media

errymandering has always been part of American politics. After all, the term was coined in 1812 after Massachusetts governor and Founding Father Elbridge Gerry endorsed a state senate district that resembled a salamander. Until recently, federal courts have been highly reluctant to enter the “political thicket” and confront a critical question: When does the legitimate use of political power cross a line into an unfair and illegal abuse of that power? When do the rights of a duly elected majority infringe on the rights of an aggrieved minority? In coming weeks, the Supreme Court is due to rule on cases from Maryland and North Carolina that could provide some answers. During oral arguments in April, Justice Brett Kavanaugh bluntly admitted: “Extreme partisan gerrymandering is a real problem for our democracy. I’m not going to dispute that.” It’s possible that the high court will do what it did in a case from Wisconsin last year and avoid a definitive ruling. But even if that happens, there is clearly a rising demand — among judges, voters and even some politicians — to change a system that is doing enormous damage to the country’s political climate. Two governors, Republican Larry Hogan of Maryland and Democrat Roy Cooper of North Carolina, reflected that urgency when they wrote in

National Columnist

Byron York began accusing Trump of “colluding” with Russia to gain an advantage in the election. Top Clinton staff received updates on Steele’s material. Then they accused Trump of collusion. FBI investigators, who also had the dossier, were trying to confirm it. They failed. Without evidence to prove any of the dossier’s most serious allegations, a new standard of proof emerged: The allegations were legitimate because they had not been proven untrue. Leading figures in politics and journalism adopted the new standard. “Not a single revelation in the Steele dossier has been refuted,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. “(I’m) aware of nothing in the Christopher Steele dossier that has been shown to be false,” said Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe. “So far with this dossier, nothing yet has been proven untrue,” said Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The new Trump standard

turned the old standard — can an allegation be proven true? — on its head. It’s not surprising that commentators, especially those with partisan motives, would adopt such a low standard. It was surprising when — and this is example No. 2 — Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller upended the justice system’s traditional norms by declaring that his investigation, while not accusing the president of committing a crime, also could not exonerate him. “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” Mueller said in his 448-page report. “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” Mueller repeated the point in his recent public statement. “If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” he said. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.” It was a mind-blowing moment for some Justice Department veterans. Since when do prosecutors hand out certificates of exoneration to the people they investigate? (An-

swer: They don’t.) Since when has “not exonerated” been an accepted legal outcome — as in, “How does the jury find the defendant? We find him not exonerated.” (Answer: Never.) Mueller, like Feinstein and Tribe and Todd before him, changed widely accepted standards, casting the shadow of guilt on Trump without formally accusing him of wrongdoing. Except Mueller, unlike the senator, the law professor and the journalist, wielded the prosecutorial power of the United States. Given the length and thoroughness of his investigation, Mueller’s noexoneration verdict carried a lot of weight in the public debate. Except that it didn’t mean anything, while at the same time it suggested to the public that the president had committed some unspecified offense. Trump’s critics often accuse him of violating the norms that make our society and government work. Yet in their discussion of the dossier, some of those critics violated essential norms of fairness and accuracy. And in Mueller’s no-exoneration gambit, a storied figure in American law enforcement abandoned one of the most important standards of justice. The damage done could last a long time. ••• Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An open letter to my sister To the Editor, I know you are patriotic. After all, we were raised as Air Force brats. Our beloved country is in crisis, I’m worried that we can’t talk about it any more, and it’s getting worse. Apparently you don’t believe in science, like accepting climate change. Your president has called it a hoax and “bulls***.” What about our grandchildren? I can’t believe that you support a president that lies daily (now over 2,000 times). I know you are an honest person. I can’t believe that you don’t support the rule of law. Trump breaks the law regularly, but he is not above the law. You obey the law. I can’t believe that you support a man that is clearly racist. There are not “fine people” on both sides. I believe in the Pledge of Allegiance. Do you remember the last line? “…one nation, under god, with liberty and justice for all.” Don Eggleston Aptos

ONLINE CHATTER Regarding improvements to City Plaza

Keep it the way many generations and many different ethnic groups have enjoyed it. Just have the City keep it maintained which they don’t now. Bill Ringe From Facebook I like it the way it is. Nice peaceful place to relax. It’s a big part of Watsonville’s history. Michael Coffman From Facebook As much as I appreciate the plaza for what it is, the layout of it is bland as all hell. Nobody that visits would want to go there, especially in the condition it is now. It’s an ideal place for small city events but it’s just such an awkward eyesore every time some stage and crowd is crammed into a corner on the lawn. Indica Jay From Facebook You’re literally ruining the beauty of the plaza. Leave it as it is and make change around it. For the sake of the history let it be. Change the streets but leave the plaza. I’d sign a petition for it to remain the same. Damian Gonzalez From Twitter Change is needed. Add a play ground for kids and clean it up. Make it an area of the city that people would want to visit. Steven Diaz From Facebook The city wants to shrink the number of lanes downtown (I understand this is intended for the safety of cyclists and pedestrians) but it will also create more traffic...Cabrillo College students struggle as it is to find parking and adding a park is going to make the fight for parking worse! Leave it the way it is. Plenty of other things that need revamping! Marya Avila From Facebook

A real problem for democracy National Columnists Cokie and Steven V. Roberts the Washington Post that the justices should step in. “Gerrymandering is an overt assault on our representative form of government,” they wrote, “and free and fair elections are the foundation of American democracy.” Both parties launch those assaults when they get a chance, but Republicans have been far more determined — and successful. In Michigan, the GOP won half the Congressional votes statewide over the last three elections, but distorted districts consistently gave them nine of 14 Congressional seats (65%). The imbalance was even worse in Ohio, where vote totals were roughly equal, but Republicans won three-quarters of the House districts. This is not just an abstract debate about equity or legality. There are many reasons for the poisonous partisanship polluting Washington, but gerrymandering is a prime culprit. “The damage done by gerrymandering isn’t difficult to measure,” Rep. Marcy Kaptur, an Ohio Democrat, wrote in

the Post. “It breeds partisan legislators, who in turn breed a partisan Congress. Gerrymandering has made virtually all House seats safer — including mine — and the members who hold those safe seats are often less responsive to communities and unwilling to compromise in Washington.” And the problem is getting worse. Vast databases combined with high-speed computers make it possible to draw maps that entrench majority power with almost “surgical precision,” said one federal judge. And declining respect for minority rights breeds evermore ruthless efforts by the majority to cement their advantage and bury their opponents. That’s why the reaction among federal judges is so important. Increasingly, they are embracing the argument that under the First Amendment, rigged districts deprive voters of their basic rights of political association and free expression. In dismissing Michigan’s map in April, a three-judge panel seemed to be sending a direct message to the Supreme Court when they wrote, “Judges — and justices — must act in accordance with their obligation to vindicate the constitutional rights of those harmed by partisan gerrymandering.” Last month, another unanimous court ruled against Ohio’s districting plan and sent its own message to the high court:

Defining the line between fair and unfair, legal and illegal, is not that hard. They embraced a three-part test that other federal judges have used, as well. A gerrymander must be rejected if it’s intentional, effective, and lacks “legitimate justification (that) accounts for its extremity.” These federal judges are not alone. Voters in several states have recently adopted measures that would create independent commissions to draw district lines, or similar methods to check and balance the power of the majority. A good example is California, which established a panel to draft district boundaries before the last election. “The result is much more competition, much more compact districts, districts that do a better job of keeping communities together and that produce more wins by women, by people of color — by, you know, people who don’t have access to big money,” Michael Li of the Brennan Center for Justice told NPR. The justices should listen to the judges who urged them to “vindicate the constitutional rights of those harmed by partisan gerrymandering.” But even if they don’t, governors Hogan and Cooper are right when they say, “Eventually reform will come — and it must.” ••• Steve and Cokie Roberts can be contacted by email at stevecokie@gmail.com.

I think this is great. The shaded areas will be nice for the farmers market on Friday and during the week people can get food from the surrounding business and sit down. The high schoolers or students from Cabrillo can go and study there, too. The playground should have a fully enclosed fence though because it is downtown but It would be great there’s many houses within walking distance that would benefit from a park. The only time people go to the plaza is when there’s an event or on Fridays, but day to day it’s dead and needs something to really bring people to downtown. Angelina Molina From Facebook Does the bandstand stage work? I mean, is it being used? It might need to be upgraded if it’s not usable, but that’s it. They can still keep the way it looks, but make it stable. Angie Rivera Lippy From Facebook Looks like they wanna have more open sight lines so they can kick out the homeless that sleep there at night. How about spend some of that money and help the local shelters expand to help the situation instead of just kicking them out and wasting police time and resources. Cesar Leon From Facebook After visiting almost a dozen different plazas, kiosks and fountains this month, I think I like our current plaza. Just bring it up to ADA compliance, upgrade the electrical system and add more lighting. Felipe Hernandez From Facebook I grew up in town and have known this park all my life, and currently work as a landscaping professional at the highest level. I have a degree in Urban Design and have worked with cities to develop several parks. It may be the reduction of detail comes from the program used, but this looks horribly sterile. I really hope this isn’t literally what you have in mind. Scott Braun From Facebook

45 years of Santa Cruz Pride By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

SANTA CRUZ — The 45th annual Santa Cruz Pride Parade unfolded in downtown Santa Cruz Sunday. Thousands of people lined Pacific Avenue to cheer the dozens of organizations, church groups, local agencies, businesses and others in the parade that support the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning (LBGTQ) community. Hosted by the Diversity Center of Santa Cruz, the festive event, which is part of the international movement, Pride Month, is the largest pride parade on the Central Coast. “This is a great event for our community, especially when it comes to support for the transgender community that is particularly vulnerable,” said Jenni Veitch-Olson, who rode alongside members of the Derby Girls, Guys, Gays. “We need to show support for all members of the LBGTQ community, and this parade is a good way of doing that. It’s important to come out and be a part of this.” Santa Cruz Pride spiraled out of the first Santa Cruz “Gay Pride” public event in 1975. Pride month was generated by the Stonewall Riots, the first major demonstrations for gay rights in the US. In New York City, on June 28, 1969, police stormed the Stonewall Inn, which had established itself as a safe gathering spot for lesbian,

Aptos

gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. The bar patrons, however —gay men and drag queens — fought back and six days of riots and demonstrations followed, thus pegging the start of the gay rights movement in America. The theme this year in Santa Cruz was “Turning the Tide.” There were two grand marshals this year: Vnes, a local musician from Rhode Island and Long Island, NY, who moved to Santa Cruz in 1993. The second was Adam Spickler, the first openly transgender man to hold elected office at any level in the state of California. A 2002 graduate of Cabrillo College, Spickler was elected to the Cabrillo College Board of Trustees in 2018. Themes of the past include Courage, Unity. Equality,

One Community, Peace through Pride and Life Gets Better Together. The event has drawn thousands of participants from a huge spectrum of society over the years; from church groups to the Santa Cruz Police Chief and County Sheriff, to schools, clubs and non-profits. Alejandra Vargas said the parade was her ninth such event. “There’s part of me that feels that Santa Cruz is really not living up to its image of inclusivity,” she said. “Some groups, especially large businesses and corporations, are dragging their heels. I mean, here’s AT&T. Where were they when gay marriage was the topic many years ago? I call this ‘rainbow capitalism.’ Don’t get me wrong — this is important for people to be out here. But there’s room for improvement.”

County Clerk to demonstrate new voting system The next time Santa Cruz County voters cast their ballots, they will be using a new voting system. The Santa Cruz County Clerk invites the public to learn more about the new equipment during three public demonstration events of the new voting system: • June 20, 10 a.m.-noon: Santa Cruz County Government Center, 701 Ocean Street, 3rd Floor PLH Conference Room. • June 20, 6-8 p.m.: Simpkins Swim Center, 979 17th Avenue in Santa Cruz. • June 21, 10 a.m.-noon: Watsonville Civic Center, 275 Main Street, 4th Floor Community Room The County’s existing voting system is obsolete and cannot be used after February 27, 2020. New systems must comply with the California Voting Systems Standards and be approved by the Secretary of State. Three voting systems currently meet the standards and are available for use in California. The Santa Cruz County Clerk has selected Dominion’s Democracy Suite, with the company having provided voting equipment to Santa Cruz County voters since 2006. The County Clerk plans to go before the Board of Supervisors in June with a contract to lease the new voting system using State matching funds

appropriated to upgrade and replace aging voting systems throughout California. The total annual cost of $206,000 will be split between the County and State. The new system will be in place during the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election. The new system is also paper-based, with the process of marking a ballot changing slightly to require filling in a bubble rather than marking a line to indication a selection..

Friend thinks little people should only adopt

EAR HARRIETTE: I I’ve recently been watching and have become of fan of a television show called “Little Women.” It displays the lives of individuals born with dwarfism. I learn a lot about the condition and the problems little people face on a daily basis, but I also learned that they are just normal people. Most of the show’s cast members have kids, and this sparked a debate between a friend and me. My friend claims that it is selfish for these people to have kids because their kids often face the same medical conditions as their parents. He said that it’s better for people with dwarfism to adopt children in foster homes instead of having their own. I feel the opposite and don’t understand his viewpoint. Little people do have struggles, but they operate in life the same way people of average height do, so they should have kids if they can provide for them. I told my friend he should adopt a child since he was so concerned about it. What middle ground, if any, can you offer to this debate? — The Right To Have Children DEAR THE RIGHT TO HAVE CHILDREN: What I appreciate about some of the reality shows that are airing these days, like “Little Women,” is that viewers are exposed to the lives of folks they might otherwise never meet. While there can be medical challenges to people born with dwarfism, as the show depicts, they also face the same trials and joys as people not born with that condition. Also, as you have seen, they don’t always give birth to children with the same medical challenges. In fact, one of the women on the show has twins — one with dwarfism, and one without. I think that people of all backgrounds, including those living with any number of medical conditions, should talk with their doctors and review the risks of giving birth to children. There

This week in Pajaro Valley’s past Compiled by Steve Bankhead 25 years ago on June 7, 1994: Ray Belgard easily won reelection as the Watsonville-area county supervisor, defeating his nearest opponent Councilman Oscar Rios by 3,649 to 1,543 votes. In the campaign, Rios emphasized his ability to get things done more than his liberal philosophy and the fact he’s Latino as he had in city council elections. Rios said, “It’s just a matter of time before a Latino is elected to the board of supervisors,” and added, “It’s a new beginning. Old

powers can be challenged.” Rios said he is unsure if he will run in four years for the next supervisor election. He fared better in the low-income and Latino neighborhoods, and actually prevailed in the voting precinct site at the fire station on Second Street where he led Belgard 125 votes to 64. Belgard’s strongest precinct was at All Saints’ Episcopal Church on Rogers Avenue in one of the more affluent areas of town, where he led Rios 304 votes to 47. He led Rios in the Pajaro Village retirement community 395 to 132. 50 years ago on June 4, 1969: Granite Rock Company and Central Supply Company are different in name only. The two companies are actually part of the same corporate structure; but the two names have caused confusion among some customers of the big Watsonville-based enterprise, so management hired a consultant “to help us eliminate the confusion” among its customers and others, says its president Bruce Woolpert. The result is a new trademark design that will identify both companies with

the title Graniterock. It’s not an actual reorganization since both companies will retain their own names. The new trademark is already appearing on all equipment of Granite Rock and Central Supply. Granite Rock Company was formed in 1900 to operate the rock quarry in Aromas that it still operates. In 1924, Central Supply was formed to act as a retail agent for the quarry, and has since grown to include a full line of building materials in its sales catalogue. 75 years ago on June 5, 1944: The sale of Tassajara Hot Springs to a Salinas corporation for $100,000 was announced by Mrs. Helen G. Holohan, who has owned and operated the famed hot springs for nearly 40 years. Mrs. Holohan will remain in Watsonville where her husband, former Senator James B. Holohan, has large orchard holdings. But she says she and her husband will go back to Tassajara whenever war conditions permit, as “you can’t break the Tassajara habit.” For the first time in 1943, the springs were not allowed to open

the grades. The climate, scenery, springs and hospitality attracted a large clientele year after year to enjoy Mrs. Holohan’s personality and accommodations. In recent years, visitors have come from as far as Honolulu to “bake out.” 100 years ago on June 7, 1919: A packed house greeted the Mack Sennett performance of “Bathing Girls” at the T. & D. Theater on Beach Street last night, and to put it mildly, we were disappointed. And the Pajaronian has heard criticisms from others around town today. Judging by announcements, we were under the impression it would be the same company that recently played at the Tivoli in San Francisco — eight girls headed by

the great female impersonator Rothwell Browne. Last night four girls appeared, and Browne was conspicuous in his absence. The girls stepped onto the stage, then did a few poses and walks to the accompaniment of a song that was indifferently sung. In fact, we have seen much better vaudeville at the theater and at a lower price. We doubt if any of the girls that were on the stage last night were in the company depicted on the screen behind them. T. & D. Theater manager Miller was likewise disappointed and lowered the 50-cent admission. ••• For questions or comments, email bankheadcolumn@aol. com.

There is the father. His extravagant love is the story. He does not hear or see anything, but the person who needs his acceptance, his affirmation, his love. Speeches about the past are passé. This is the first moment of the future, the first day of the rest of your life. “Get new clothes. Get the signet ring! Today, we celebrate. It’s all good.” The story is about the younger son who said to his father, “Father, I want right now what’s coming to me.” It is the story of a lad asking for his inheritance, his share of the family’s assets, who goes off and spends the money, ends up hungry and broke. He found a job feeding corncobs to the pigs. In one moment, the light went on.

He recalled his dad’s fieldworkers were doing better than he was. He decided to go home and ask for a job as a part of a crew working on the farm. He was lost, he was about to be found. Walking on the road home, when he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him and kissed him. The love and affection of the father burst out all over the place. As he embraced his son he said, “my son is here—given up for dead and now alive! Given up for lost and now found!” Jesus includes the older brother in the story. He has grown up surrounded by wealth. It was not his (no matter what his father said).

He has been to the city, he has seen it all, may have experienced it all. But he was an unhappy camper. Nor would he know how to create such wealth. He was a field hand. He went to town on his father’s dime, not his own. He and his friends may have laughed about “doing” the city, doing it all. But there is no joy there. He spent the money then had to go home and work in the fields. He was not his own man. He was never given the ring with the family crest, the signet ring. No wonder he was an unhappy camper. His lost brother is found and gets it all. He spent his whole life thinking he was found, now knew, he was lost. The real story was not the

elder or younger son, nor the father. The real story Jesus shares was the radicle extravagant love of his father, God, a love the surrounds all in the riches of his grace. And what do we get? Joy beyond measure, a fulfilled life because we own it. Yes, it is a gift, not earned. As its facets unfold in our experiences, each new page is better than the previous one. All of it, all that we have received is ours, we own it, you own it. I own it. ••• George V. Erickson is a retired Presbyterian minister and a resident of Watsonville.

PVWMA celebrates 10-year anniversary of recycled water REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

WATSONVILLE — In the decade since its inception, Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency has delivered 14 billion gallons of water to the agriculture industry. The agency began delivering recycled water in 2009, which helped reduce groundwater pumping and the resultant overdraft. The agency celebrated its 10year anniversary on Thursday. Owned and operated in conjunction with the City of Watsonville, the Watsonville Area Water Recycling Facility treats wastewater to tertiary standards, making it safe for irrigating edible crops on approximately 5,000 acres of coastal farmland. Recently, PV Water expanded

its recycled water storage ability, improved its distribution pumps and reconfigured its Blend Well pipelines to increase deliveries of supplemental water to growers. These improvements add reliability, improve efficiency and increase quality while helping reduce groundwater pumping in coastal areas most affected by seawater intrusion. To fund these projects, the City and PV Water won competitive grants and acquired low-interest loans from state and federal agencies. “We are proud of our collaborative successes,” PVWMA General Manager Brian Lockwood said. “Providing supplemental water to local growers makes a significant, positive impact on our groundwater basin while helping keep the

agro-economy vibrant.” Groundwater is the primary water source in the Pajaro Valley, accounting for approximately 95 percent of the total water supply. For many decades, groundwater pumping exceeded the amount that naturally replaced it, leading to overdraft conditions. Chronic overdraft has led to groundwater storage depletion and groundwater quality degradation, particularly because of seawater intrusion. The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency is a statechartered water management district formed to manage water supplies, and to prevent further increase and reduce long-term overdraft. For information, visit www. pvwater.org.

••• PVWMA milestones • 2002 — Water deliveries begin via the new Coastal Distribution System, with supplemental water produced from the Harkins Slough Recharge and Recovery Facility • 2006 — Coastal Distribution System expansion • 2009 — City of Watsonville & PV Water complete the Recycled Water Facility, Recycled Water production commences • 2016 — Coastal Distribution Pipeline expansion • 2017 — 1.5-million-gallon storage tank and distribution pump efficiency improvements added at the Recycled Water Facility • 2018 — Record supplemental water deliveries almost 1.7 billion gallons

Events planned throughout area to celebrate World Oceans Week REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

MONTEREY BAY — Nonprofit environmental organization Save Our Shores is hosting three events this weekend aiming to raise awareness during World Oceans Week. On Saturday, Save Our Shores invites the public to wear blue, bring a sign about an ocean issue of their choice and spend an afternoon at the March For the Ocean. Participants will meet at Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz at 3 p.m. to join a bagpiper-led march from the Lighthouse to Cowell Beach along West Cliff Drive.

The march will end at Cowell Beach around 4 p.m., with marchers lining up in formation to show where the tide line will be in 2100—if climate-driven sea level rise goes unchecked. Also on Saturday, Monterey will host the World Ocean Day Sanctuary Paddle-Out. Participants will attempt to form the shape of a ticking clock with hands a few minutes short of 12:00, signaling a call to action against climate change.

Teen Kitchen Project’s Jr. Iron Chef celebrates local teens REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

WATSONVILLE — Teams of local teen chefs competed at the Jr. Iron Chef SCC culinary competition on May 18 at Kaiser Permanente Arena. The seven teams of amateur chefs used original recipes to create healthy dishes they hope will inspire their school meal programs to use locally farmed, healthy ingredients. The event was sponsored by Whole Foods Market. Teams cooked before a lively crowd of onlookers and judges, including famous local chefs. The top three teams were: Mission Hill Middle School Mavericks, What the Fork? from Aptos High School and Up In Your Grill which included teens from Watsonville High, Ceiba and Aptos High School.

Each winning chef was given a specially-engraved knife from Teen Kitchen Project. “The goal of the competition is to promote recipes that use local and seasonal produce that can be replicated in a school cafeteria kitchen,” said Angela Farley, Executive Director. “Making fancy dishes is fun, but our goal for this round of competitions is to enable students to repeat their dishes at home and with friends.” The community has another opportunity to experience the culinary skills of teen chefs from the Teen Kitchen Project at their annual Everett Farm Family Dinner fundraiser on Sept. 7. Early bird tickets can be purchased starting July 7 at teenkitchenproject.org.

ing several nights away from home as a long-haul truck driver, Fernandez had no other choice but to sit in the back of the class with her mom and work on her homework or read a book. “A lot of the teachers, they were really supportive of it,” Fernandez said. “They would see me and my sister, and say, ‘thank you for joining us again!’” Her mom eventually received her associate’s degree — she has plans to return to school to earn her bachelor’s — and Fernandez, like several members of Pajaro Valley’s nearly 300-student graduating class, will soon get started on a college degree of her own. She hasn’t decided on a major yet, but she is thinking of following other family member’s footsteps. Her cousins, Alejandro and Gustavo Zamora, are police officers. The former with Salinas Police Department and the latter with Watsonville Police Department. The Zamora brothers are two big reasons why Fernandez joined WPD’s cadets program

document. Symons received the censure on May 20 for four separate violations of judicial ethics. One of those violations – the one that prompted Vinluan to make his motion – occurred May 2, when Symons was hearing a case involving the violation of a restraining order. A ccording to the public censure document from the Commission on Judicial Performance (CJP), Symons received a question from the jury during the deliberation phase, and called Deputy District Attorney Xavier Mitchell and public defender Mischa Rinkus. Rinkus did not immediately respond to Symons’ call, and Symons later discussed the question by phone with only Mitchell. She later made her written response based on that discussion, the CJP stated. The jury later returned with a

‘EMPOWERED WOMAN’ In the fall Julissa Espindola will move south to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly, and she feels more than ready to be on her own for the first time. She’s had an exceptional example of how to be an “empowered woman,” she said. Her mom, Dora Gutierrez, for 30 years has owned her own hair

salon, Designing Cut, in Watsonville. “She bought her own house, she has the shop, she’s super independent,” Espindola said. “I always ask her, ‘how do you do it?’ And she just says “Con la ayuda de Dios (With the help of God).” Espindola carried on her mom’s example at Pajaro Valley. The 4.1 grade point average student was senior class president, an on-campus advocate for the environment and animals and a teacher with Girls Inc. She also played softball for two seasons and cheered for three years. At Girls Inc. she taught sophomores and juniors about selfdefense, women’s health, how to plan for the future and how to make a difference in their community. “It was all about creating a sisterhood, an empowering sisterhood,” Espindola said. Espindola plans to major in environmental management and protection. She hopes to be an advocate for the environment and the numerous creatures that inhabit it. “Very soon, if not now, we’re going to need someone to save this whole planet,” Espindola said.

OUT OF THE SHELL Aaron Araiza described himself as an outgoing kid and an ever-present figure at the Pajaro Valley campus — he hardly missed a sporting event, school dance or rally. Four years ago, he would have described himself very differently. “I used to be afraid to do anything in class,” Araiza said. “I wouldn’t raise my hand. I wouldn’t say anything. Now, I can’t stop talking. It’s a little bit of a problem. Teachers tell me it’s good, but I need to not overdo it.” Araiza said he’s indebted to the teachers and administration at Pajaro Valley for helping him come out of his timid shell. In his last year as a Grizzly he was a coordinator for the associated student body, he ran track and cross country and was accepted into Sacramento State, where he plans to study criminal justice and hopefully become an agent for the FBI. “High school really developed me,” he said. “It made me who I am… The teachers I had really challenged me to be better. They pushed me, and they made me believe in myself.”

guilty verdict, causing Rinkus to file a motion for a new trial. She later negotiated what Symons described as a “sweetheart” deal for her client. “Judge Symons took no steps to notify Ms. Rinkus of her telephone conversation with Mr. Mitchell, or of her written response to the jury’s question,” the censure document reads. ••• THE RED LIGHT TICKET Symons was also censured for her actions after she ran a red light in Capitola on May 10, 2016, which was captured by a red light camera. Symons later told a fellow judge and other people at the court about the incident. But when the citation was delivered to her residence, it mistakenly listed Symons’ husband as the driver. According to the filing by the CJP, Symons helped her husband in filing the request for trial by written declaration, which resulted in getting the citation dismissed and the $489 fine refunded. She did not, however, say she

was the driver “Prior to filing the document, the judge took no steps to notify the Capitola Police Department or the citation processing company that she was the one responsible for the citation,” the document said. ••• SHOWING POSSIBLE BIAS I n addition, Symons was accused of exhibiting bias in a third case in 2013, when she admitted to being openly skeptical of the plaintiffs in a landlord dispute. ••• THE 40S COMMENT In the fourth case in 2016, a woman was asking for a domestic violence restraining order against her husband, who she said frequently drank alcohol and engaged in behavior that scared her and their children. During the hearing, Symons ordered the man not to consume alcohol before visiting the children or while visiting them. At one point, Symons told the man, “You can’t down a couple of 40s before you go pick them

up before a visit because that’s not good.” According to the CJP, that statement violated the Code of Judicial Ethics, which requires judges to avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. ••• THE CURRENT CASE Vinluan is currently defending Ruiz on charges he killed Joey Shuemaker on Aug. 23, 2016 on the west levee of the San Lorenzo River. A ccording to Vinluan, Symons did not disclose her censure for the incident with Rinkus in the beginning stages of the trial, telling them only about being reprimanded for the comment about drinking 40’s. “She misled us,” he said. The matter that concerned Vinluan, he said, was the one involving Rinkus. “ It was a complaint specifically involving our office,” he said. “That’s a problem.” Vinluan said that there is a very low legal standard when discussing possible judicial bias.

a little more than a year ago. Under the tutelage of officers Noe Hernandez, Monique Rangel and Saul Valadez, she learned the ins and outs of law enforcement such as how to write a report, conduct traffic stops and interact with the community in the correct manner. “It gave me a whole different perspective of what law enforcement really is,” Fernandez said. Fernandez, an über-involved student at Pajaro Valley, said her family hasn’t pushed her into one field or another. They’ve simply given her the tools to shape her future into whatever form she wishes. “They sacrificed a lot to give me the opportunity to do whatever I want to do,” she said. “I’m really lucky my parents worked so hard.”

Cabrillo Lions Club members (from left) Elaine Cole, Jay Johnson and Krista Brassfield on May 25 installed a welcome sign in the Aptos Village. “It’s not whether or not there is a conflict,” he said. “It’s the appearance of a conflict.” The matter is especially serious in Ruiz’s case, since he is facing 50 years to life in prison. “This is Mr. Ruiz’s life,” he said. “That is obviously an issue, and we want someone, at least for the appearance, to be someone that is fair and impartial.” Public censure is the most severe punishment a jurist can receive, short of removal from the bench. ••• SYMONS’ RESPONSE S ymons has been a judge since 2009. Her current term began in January 2015, and she is up for reelection in 2020. Judges typically cannot respond to criticism, and do not comment on ongoing cases. “It is sometimes unfortunate, but for sound policy reasons, judges are completely hamstrung from defending themselves with regard to allegations regarding anything occurring in pending (or impending) cases because of their ethical rules,”

said Symons attorney Kathleen Ewins. Symons’ attorney also provided a list of people who support Symons after the censure, including 18 former and current elected officials, 12 members of the legal community, four members of the law enforcement community and 10 community leaders. I n a prepared statement, Symons called the CJP process “long and challenging,” and said she is looking forward to focusing on her work as a Santa Cruz County Judge. “Ultimately, I recognize that as an elected public servant I am always held to a higher standard of conduct,” Symons stated. “I have always tried to conduct myself in a highly ethical manner and treat the people that appear in my courtroom with the utmost respect and dignity, no matter the circumstances. This process has taught me that I can do better in these areas and I am confident I will be a better judge because of this.”

Retracing a bandit’s trail By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

(Editor’s Note: This is the first part of a multi-part travel series in Hollister, Gilroy and Morgan Hill.) Recently my wife Sarah and I took a drive back in time to do a little history dig around Hollister, Gilroy and Morgan Hill. Spurring our one-day journey was a book we both read, “Bandido, the Life and Times of Tiburcio Vasquez,” by John Boessenecker. Vasquez was a notorious bandit who plagued the lands just mentioned, the Pajaro Valley and elsewhere. American author John Steinbeck once wrote: “Everybody thinks Vasquez was a kind

of hero, when really he was just a thief.” The 471-page hardbound “Bandido” book explores some of his misdeeds and the rugged trail of his history. Sarah and I have been intrigued with some of his haunts, including Tres Piños, New Idria and Paicines south of Hollister. We headed out Highway 129 through Chittenden Pass and crossed over Highway 101 onto San Juan Highway, which is a great way to access San Juan Bautista through its back door. We split off onto San Justo Road to Lucy Brown Road which runs square into Highway 156, where we turned left toward Hollister. Passing through huge agriculture

fields of strawberries, lettuce, groomed soil and flowers, we turned right onto Union Road and worked our way into downtown Hollister. The city has a population of around 35,000 and has seen a huge boom lately, with massive housing projects, defined by towering walls and trendy names like Sunnyside Estates, The Lanes at Allendale, The Knolls at Allendale and Hillcrest Meadows. The area has garnered big headlines in the news lately regarding built up traffic — a lot of which heads each to Silicon Valley. Hollister is an agricultural town in San Benito County. The region was historically inhabited by the Mutsun band of the Ohlone Native Ameri-

cans. When Mission San Juan Bautista was built in 1797, many of the Ohlone were forced into the mission way of life. Hollister was founded 1868, by William W. Hollister. The sleepy downtown of today still boasts scores of historic buildings that dot the main drag of San Benito Street and side streets. We drove around the tiny downtown district a get a feel for the area and spotted the stately Veterans Memorial Building, a former bank know known as The Vault, the handsome brick Hollister Methodist Church and the faded wood Hollister train depot. By now we were starving so we settled on the Hollister House Bar & Grill, 500 San Benito St., for lunch. We lucked out because their Tri-Tip grilled cheese sandwich was outstanding and Sarah’s $4 spinach salad was tops. A huge outdoor mural across the street provided us with some Hollister history before we headed south toward Tres Piños and Paicines on Highway 25. The highway is largely known for being the northern entrance to the Pinnacles National Park. First we came upon the San Benito Historical Park. A brass plaque fused to a boulder there read: “Costanoan people passed through this area along a trade route from their villages between The Pinnacles and San Juan Bautista. During the Mexican era of Alta California, this property was government land adjoining Rancho Santa Ana Y Quien Sabe.” Eventually the county bought the land and the park was

dedicated in 1982. It features scores of early-day buildings that were moved there, including the Cottage Corner Bar, the Palmtag Cutting Shed, the Dunneville Dance Hall and the Canepa Ranch Tank House, and numerous informational signs. Further south we drove through the open countryside of vineyards, rolling hills and farmlands. We stopped at the intersection at Panoche Road (Route J1) where a small market stands with another big boulder on the side of the road with a brass plaque that reads: “The original town of Tres Piños had been here for more than a decade when its Post Office opened on Jan. 24, 1871. The town lost the use of its name after Aug. 12, 1873 when the Southern Pacific Railroad opened the Tres Piños Station 4.7 miles away. The town turned its name to Grogan on Aug 4, 1874 and the Tres Piños Post Office reopened near the station six

days later.” We drove east on the lovely Panoche Road toward New Idria through dry, winding hills, over several dried out creek beds, past cattle farms and several old farmsteads. At one point we stopped, shut off the car and the only things we could hear were the wind and a few distant birds. These remote hills were precisely the terrain Tiburcio Vasquez and his band of outlaws sought for comfortable refuge, mainly due to the vast uninhabited swaths of land and because law officials wouldn’t risk being drawn out into such distant parts. In the next part of this series we wrap up our venture into the wild outback, head north into Gilroy for a coffee break, a taste of the Garlic Capital and on to our friend’s walnut orchard near Morgan Hill that got started in 1894.

ficult by the fact that Loza is a Mexican citizen. Still, it was the eighth time that a suspect has been brought back to Santa Cruz County from Mexico to face criminal charges, which Rosell said signals a new era of cooperation between the two countries. “If you commit a crime and you run to Mexico and anyplace else, we will find you and we will bring you back to face the charges you deserve. “Mexico is no longer the safe haven it once was in the old days,” Rosell added later.

Sheridan called news of Loza’s arrest “bittersweet.” “It opened up a lot of trauma for me, but I was definitely happy,” she said. “I will be able to sleep a lot better at night knowing that he is not able to hurt anyone else” She said the call by an inspector that Loza was arrested came as a surprise so many years after the murder. “I kind of thought that maybe because we were poor kids my sister was forgotten about,” Sheridan said. “Come to find out that all these people never forgot about her. They’ve been fighting.” Rosell said he is confident in the strength of the case. “The Santa Cruz District Attorney’s Office in this case are very confident that Mr. Loza will be brought to justice,” Rosell said. “And we are very confident that Mr. Loza will pay for what he did.”

If you commit a crime and you run to Mexico and anyplace else, we will find you and we will bring you back to face the charges you deserve.

PARKS From page A1

The plans for the Plaza come with several modifications. One would add shaded benches, a children’s park and a short performing stage. The other would move the iconic bandstand from the center of the Plaza a few feet toward Main Street to make way for a raised permanent performing stage and small amphitheater-esque seating. Ramsay Park, meanwhile, could see several additions, including an improved softball diamond that could also be used as a soccer field — the park’s third pitch — and a pump track for mountain bikes that would replace the old skatepark. “The plans that we’re sitting on today are based off of what we’ve heard throughout the process,” Calubaquib said. “As we collect data our consultants have been adjusting the plans.” Calubaquib and Co. are expected to make their first City Council presentation on July 9. Before that, they will present to the Parks and Services Commission on July 1, according to Calubaquib. In the meantime, Calubaquib

stand, which has been inoperable since the 1989 earthquake, according to Calubaquib, would be rebuilt and reinforced to once again house live performances. “There have been some concerns as we start talking about making changes to the Plaza, because there are folks that have a really strong connection, particularly with the bandstand, which I think for many people has served as a symbol of Watsonville for many years,” Huffaker said. “Our plan is to capture the character of the plaza and be able to build it as more of a place to gather.” Funding for the improvements would come from statedistributed grants provided by Prop 68, a $4.1 billion bond measure for parks, environment and water approved by voters last year. Calubaquib said August is the deadline for first round of funding. There is no guarantee Watsonville will qualify for funding. “But we wouldn’t even be in the running if we don’t get these [plans] done,” Calubaquib said. Calubaquib said the creation

of the a master plan for both parks is part of department’s push to update its overarching Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was first developed in 2009. That plan, however, was never realized for several reasons — the recession being the biggest — so the department decided to revisit the program this year and make adjustments according to the current direction of the City, which recently walked back its strict alcohol ordinance put in place in 2002 and is in the process of developing a Complete Streets Plan for the downtown. The most recent Complete Street Plan proposal — presented to the City Council in early May — would make drastic changes to the structure of downtown, including the slimming of the oft-congested Main Street from four lanes to two and the addition of wider sidewalks, high-visibility crosswalks and buffered bike lanes. “We want to make sure that its complimentary to both of those things, and that it helps to support the next phase of our downtown, whatever that may look like,” Calubaquib said. Former Watsonville Mayor Luis Alejo, who now serves as a Monterey County Supervisor,

said he was in favor of many of the ongoing changes in his hometown, but would caution city leaders from moving too fast on historic locations like the Plaza. In 2010, Alejo tried to name the City Plaza after United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta, but that pitch was met with heavy pushback from the community. He “very quickly” pulled the proposal. “It wasn’t what the community wanted, so I had to listen to the voice of the people,” he said. “The Plaza is a special place for many Watsonville residents older or young…I would hope [city leaders] learned from what I went through.” Any change, Alejo added, could possibly remove the essence of what makes the Plaza “special.” “I’ve seen other communities try to replicate the Watsonville Plaza, but none have come close to the look and feel of the Plaza,” he said. “It’s the centerpiece of downtown Watsonville, and the city as a whole. Every event imaginable has taken place in the Plaza…I think the City would be wise to not quickly move to make changes if they’re not needed.”

Keenan, Lee named to PCAL All-League teams

By JUAN REYES OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

The Pacific Coast Athletic League announced its AllLeague baseball teams for the spring season on Sunday and a handful of local players made the cut. Monte Vista Christian junior Tyler Keenan was named to the PCAL Gabilan Division First Team, while teammate Aiden Lee was named to the second team. “I think they both deserved to be on the teams that they got selected on,” said MVC coach Don Keathley. Keenan finished with a .338 batting average with four doubles, a triple, two home runs, 22 RBIs and 23 runs scored for the Mustangs. Keathley said Keenan is one of the best players in the entire Central Coast Section. Keathley said the junior

NCAA moving men’s 3-point line moving back >> The 3-point line is moving back in men’s college basketball. The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel announced Wednesday that the arc will be moved to 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches for the 2019-20 season, matching the international distance. The change will not go into effect in Division II and III until 2020-21 due to the potential financial impact on schools. The committee said the line was moved to make the lane more available for drives from the perimeter, to slow the trend of making 3-pointers so prevalent and to create more offensive spacing by requiring the defense to cover more of the court. The international line was used on an experimental basis in the National Invitational Tournament the past two seasons. The 3-point line was last moved in 2008-09, extending a foot to 20 feet, 9 inches. – AP News Warriors’ investor banned from NBA Finals >> The Golden State Warriors’ investor who shoved Toronto guard Kyle Lowry during Game 3 of the NBA Finals won’t attend any more games in the series.

Lowry went into a row of seats along the sideline in an effort to save a loose ball during Wednesday night’s game at Oracle Arena. Lowry landed a few seats to Stevens’ left and video shows Lowry then being shoved in the left shoulder. The Warriors said their probe into the matter is ongoing. The NBA is also investigating, and reiterated that Stevens won’t be allowed at any NBA games while the events are reviewed. – AP News

He’s a coach’s dream, quite honestly.” Lee made eight appearances on the mound going 3-2 and recorded 26 strikeouts before his season was cut short due to a dislocated right shoulder injury.

Mariners’ players picked for All-League By JUAN REYES OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

St. Francis alumnus Sahid Valenzuela drafted by Oakland A’s

By JUAN REYES OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

The Major League Baseball Draft is about a week-long process of teams picking and choosing from a pool of potential franchise players for the near future. St. Francis High alumnus Sahid Valenzuela was part of that pool of talent, and was chosen in the 13th round by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. “I was like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe it,’” said Valenzuela when he first received the news. “All that hard work that I put in finally paid off. Just making my family proud and being able to fulfill this childhood dream, it’s great.” Valenzuela, who played at Cal State Fullerton the past three seasons, said the best part was seeing how proud his family was when his name finally got called. “My mom, my sister and dad all broke down,” he said. Valenzuela said he’d been chatting with representatives of the A’s for quite some time and thought Oakland would be a good fit for him from the start. “Hopefully everything goes

good and I have a successful career with them and hopefully make it into the big leagues,” he said. Other notable former Cal State Fullerton players currently playing on the A’s include Khris Davis and Matt Chapman. Valenzuela admits the first couple of days of the draft were a bit stressful as he waited for phone calls from any of the MLB teams. “But, it’s also exciting knowing that you’re name is going to get called,” he said. “Finally, when I got that phone call, I just had a lot of emotions going.” Valenzuela said he got a phone call from the New York Mets during the fourth round but things didn’t work out. “I’m satisfied with where I landed,” said Valenzuela about being drafted by Oakland. “Now it’s all up to me and how much work I put in on the road to the big leagues.” Valenzuela is coming off a junior year in which an elbow injury kept him sidelined for a good portion of the season.

Aptos High had four players recognized for first team honors at last week’s Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League coaches’ all-league voting meeting. Senior pitcher David Eichhorn, sophomore pitcher Nathaniel Brouse, junior catcher Jack Bollengier and junior outfielder Luke Keaschall were all named to the SCCAL First Team. “Just to get a couple of guys recognized on first team is pretty cool,” said Aptos coach Jason Biancardi. “To get four is pretty special, especially having two pitchers both be on the first team.” Eichhorn finished the season with a 5-1 record in 10 appearances — eight starts — on the mound with a 0.93 ERA and 55 strikeouts. Eichhorn showed up to the team last year as a transfer and Biancardi said he didn’t have quite the season he was hoping for. Eichhorn couldn’t play until April 2 because of eligibility rules and Biancardi said it was too late for his ace pitcher to get into a rhythm. Going into this season, the fourthyear head coach said he wasn’t sure what to expect from Eichhorn. Eichhorn’s dad, Mark, played Major League Baseball for 11 years and won two World Series titles with the Toronto Blue Jays in the early ‘90s. “We’ve heard a lot about David Eichhorn and he comes from a famous bloodline,” Biancardi said. Biancardi said he was blown away during the first scrimmage of the season “You can tell from that point on he was going to be our ace and he was going to have a dominant year if he stayed healthy,” Biancardi said. Brouse was 5-1 in 16 appearances — seven starts — for the Mariners. He recorded a 2.30 ERA and a team-high 72 strikeouts. “The pitchers were both very deserving,” Biancardi said. “They had really stand out numbers the whole year.” Bollengier batted .356 with four doubles, a triple, a home run, 17 runs scored and 12 RBIs, while Keaschall batted .395 with five doubles, four triples, three home runs, 35 runs scored and 30 RBIs. “They take it serious and they’re baseball players,” Biancardi said. Biancardi commended both of his juniors for their work ethic, especially during the offseason. “They got a lot of experience as sophomores, so they came in this year with a lot of confidence that they See BASEBALL, page B2

Breakers rebound with win against San Francisco Glens SC REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

The Santa Cruz Breakers FC gave the home crowd something to cheer about on Sunday after a 5-1 win against San Francisco Glens SC in Western Conference Southwest Division play. Ettore Ballestracci scored a game-high two goals and now has a team-high four goals for the SC Breakers. He also recorded two assists. The SC Breakers rebounded after last week’s 3-1 home loss against Orange County SC U23. Walmer Martinez scored the first goal for the Breakers to make it 1-0. He also scored a goal in the teams’ previous meeting in May, which resulted in a 1-1 tie. San Francisco Glens tied

it up at 1-all after Luis Lopez made his shot hit the back of the net in the 30th minute. But Jeremy Romero followed up with his first goal of the season to give back the SC Breakers the lead, 2-1, just before halftime. Ballestracci extended the lead to 4-1 after knocking in both of his goals in the 55th and 56th minute. Riley Hanley added another goal, which gives him three this season. The Breakers are currently tied for second place with 10 points (3-4-1) in the Western Conference Southwest Division with Ventura County Fusion (10 points) and just behind FC Golden State Force (16). The Breakers went 2-1 in a

three-game home stand. Next up, they hit the road to play against the Southern California Seahorses on Friday at Whittier College with kickoff slated for 7 p.m. Contra Costa 6, PV United 1 >> The Pajaro Valley United FC had a golden chance to jump into first place of the Wild West Division but came up short against division-rival Contra Costa FC on Saturday at Northgate High in Walnut Creek. PV United tied the game in the 23rd minute to make it 1-1 but Contra Costa FC scored just before halftime to take back the one-goal lead. Contra Costa FC kept the pressure going in the second half and scored in the 60th min-

ute to make it 3-1. They scored against eight minutes later and sealed the deal with two more goals (78’ and 80’). PV United FC finished with just a shot on goal, while Contra Costa FC had nine shots. They drop to 6-1-2 with 19 points just behind Contra Costa FC (8-0-1) with 24 points.

contribute for our team and they had a very good year,” Biancardi said. Keaschall, who made last year’s all-league second team, also had an amazing on base percentage of .495 and a .651 slugging percentage. “I was pretty excited and honored. It’s kind of a big deal. I was happy that I had a good season and other people noticed, too,” Keaschall said. Keachall said he was proud to see his production increase, especially in the RBI category where he went from less than 10 a year ago up to 30. Keaschall also broke the school record for stolen bases with 25, which was one more than the previous record set by his brother, Jake. Jake Keaschall was in the dugout when his younger brother broke his record during a league game against Santa Cruz High. Luke’s good friend, Brady Chavez, also happened to be pitching for the Cardinals. “I took off for third and beat it by a hair,” said Luke Keaschall. “I got back up and looked at my brother, he was just shaking his head.” The Mariners (21-7-1), who were the SCCAL runner-up and CCS D-II semifinalists, also had senior outfielder Josh Barry named to the second team. Barry batted .290 with three doubles, two triples, 20 runs

Seniors Alex Taylor and Shane Modena were honorable mentions. Keaschall said he knew the team had a lot of good players on the roster, including Eich-

horn, who was the incoming starting ace, and Brouse, the up-and-coming sophomore. “(Brouse) had a phenomenal season and the future is bright for him,” Keaschall said. Santa Cruz High swept the top honors. Chavez, a junior

outfielder and pitcher won Player of the Year, while senior Clayton Ray repeated as Pitcher of the Year. Santa Cruz skipper Dustin Torchio took home his secondstraight Coach of the Year award.

player and at times took over first base. He batted .339 with seven doubles, a home run, 16 RBIs and 15 runs scored for the Mustangs. “He’s a threat whether he’s pitching or playing first (base),” Keathley said. MVC senior Matt Sanders and St. Francis senior Domenic Cordova were named to the Richard Chamberlin All-Sportsmanship Team. The PCAL Gabilan Most Valuable Player award was split between Michael Carnazzo of Monterey High and Nathan Martorella of Salinas. Chas Brown of Monterey was named Pitcher of the Year.

sonville High senior Dylan Vargas was named to the PCAL Mission Second Team. Joaquin Mosqueda was named to the Richard Chamberlin All-Sportsmanship Team. Justin Heyn of Pacific Grove was named Mission Division MVP, while teammate Hunter Hanes was named Pitcher of the Year. Both were also named to the First Team. Cypress Division >> North Monterey County senior A.J. Valdez and junior Sebastian Ramirez were named to the PCAL Cypress First Team. Valdez was a four-year starter on the varsity team and NMC coach Alex Rivera said he’s one of the best players to put on a Condors uniform. “(Valdez) had a good season and right now he’s back and focused on baseball and wants

to continue to play ball,” Rivera said. Rivera said Valdez is staying in top shape so he can play baseball at the next level. Ramirez is expected to be back on the Condors next year. “Sebastian (Ramirez) has the baseball IQ and he uses that to his advantage,” Rivera said. “He knows how to manipulate the game with his mind and he’s a very smart baseball player.” Seniors Tony Magaña and Wyatt Ramos were named to the Second Team. “It’s very well deserving. Those kids worked their butts off all season and worked their butts off the last couple of seasons,” Rivera said . “Being the underdog the whole season, we’re finally getting the recognition that our program deserves.”

Rivera said he felt the Condors’ roster was good enough to compete in the Mission Division this year. They’ll get that chance next season, after being bumped up to the second tier. “For us, we knew that we could hang with teams like Alisal and teams like Alvarez,” Rivera said. “This year, our goal was to go out there and make a statement and prove everybody wrong.” Pajaro Valley senior John Ramos was also named to the All-League Second Team. NMC senior Rudy Diaz and PV senior Rocky Ramirez were named to the the Richard Chamberlin All-Sportsmanship Team. Gonzales senior Xando Mendez was named PCAL Cypress MVP, while Greenfield senior Jaime Soto took home the Pitcher of the Year award.

Bud Keading wins third sprint car race of the season By DON MARTIN II

Ocean Sprints

FOR THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Bud Kaeding won the 30-lap Taco Bravo Sprint Car main event on Friday night on the Tom Sagmiller prepared quarter-mile clay oval at Ocean Speedway. It was the third win of the season for the third-generation competitor as he continues to race in the sprint car that belonged to his father, Brent Kaeding. Justin Sanders had the outside front row for the Main Event and charged into the lead at the start ahead of Mitchell Faccinto and Dominic Scelzi. Scelzi made a move past Faccinto for second as they were working the seventh lap, but a yellow flag negated the pass. Sanders continued to lead Faccinto and Scelzi, but Scelzi surrendered third to Kaeding on lap 14. Kaeding took second from Faccinto on lap 16 just before a yellow flag flew. Sanders led the restart but Kaeding put the moves on him, took the lead from Sanders on lap 18 and led the entire way for the victory. Kaeding recorded the victory ahead of Sanders, Scelzi, Faccinto, James Ringo, Jake Andreotti, Kurt Nelson, Brad Furr, Kalib Henry and Jason Chisum. There were 22 competitors and Kaeding set the quick lap in 11.757 seconds just ahead of Henry, who finished in 11.786. There were three eight-lap heat races and Kaeding outran three-time champion Furr to win the first one. Scelzi won the second heat ahead of Henry, while championship contender Nelson held off Sanders to win the final heat. The six-lap Trophy Dash win went to Faccinto ahead of Sanders, which put the duo on the front row for the feature. IMCA Sport Modified >> Guy Ahlwardt won the 20-lap IMCA Sport Modified main event. He is currently the IMCA State point leader and has been traveling throughout California to earn his points. But the night started with a special memorial lap in remembrance of Sue Silveira, who

he still managed to hit .288 with a home run, 24 RBIs and 29 runs scored in 38 games played for the Titans. Valenzuela had Tommy John surgery on May 2 and is currently going through the rehab process, which he said is going well. Valenzuela said the injury might have affected his landing spot in the draft and perhaps now has a chip on his shoulder. “But not necessarily,” he said. “They know what kind of player I am and that’s why they still took the chance after this injury.” Valenzuela started in all 61 games as a sophomore. He led the team with 254 at-bats

Frost was joined by several other racers for the lap, including some who made the special trip just to support the family in their time of mourning. KC Keller, who was the 2017 Antioch champion, led Randy Miller early in the race but Ahlwardt worked his way into second place on a lap four restart. Ahlwardt made a pass for the lead but the move was negated by a lap six yellow flag. Keller led for one more lap before Ahlwardt made the lap eight pass for the lead. Keller held the second position until he was passed on lap 14 by Kevin Johnson of Bakersfield. Ahlwardt held a two-second advantage up to that point and carried his advantage to the checkered flag. Keller pitted from third on lap 17, while Michael Johnson finished in third place ahead of Mounce and TJ Etchison III Randy Miller finished sixth ahead of Frost, Austin Williams, Justin McPherson and Billy Robertson to complete the Top-10. Keller, Kevin Johnson and Mounce each won their eightlap heat race. Hobby Stock >> Rob Gallaher recorded his third win of the season after winning the 20-lap Hobby Stock main event and is now the current point

leader. Gallaher led the opening lap before being passed up by DJ Keldsen, while Joe Gallaher passed his son on lap nine to take over second place. But Joe Gallaher dropped to third after the final yellow flag of the race fell on lap 13. Keldsen continued to lead the restart with Rob Gallaher moving back right behind him in second. Gallaher took the lead from Keldsen a lap later. The lead battle remained close to the checkered flag but Gallaher prevailed ahead of Keldsen, Joe Gallaher, Bobby Huckaby Sr, Bobby Huckaby Jr, Allen Neil, Chris McCabe, Nick Triolo, John Farrell and Wally Kennedy. Kennedy and Keldsen won their eight-lap heat race. South Bay Dwarf Car >> Mark Biscardi won his third South Bay Dwarf Car 20 lap main event this season. Biscardi took the lead from Eric Weisler on lap two and stayed ahead in the race through three yellow flags during the first 10 laps. Ryan Amlen settled into second place on a lap six restart and took up a pursuit of Biscardi for the rest of the race. Biscardi ran a good race and earned the win, followed by Amlen, Weisler, Barry Waddell, Lonnie Tekaat, Mack Aceves, Eddie Claessen, Mike Ferrell, Keith Costas and Gene “Punky”

and finished the season hitting a .272 with 14 doubles, four triples and 22 RBIs Valenzuela had an on-base percentage of .313 along with a .358 slugging percentage. In his first year with the Titans, Valenzuela was named the Big West Conference Freshman Player of the Year. He was also selected to the All-Big West Conference First Team and named a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American. North Monterey County High baseball coach Alex Rivera has built a strong relationship with Valenzuela after the latter came from Yuma, Ariz. to Watsonville during his freshman year. “It’s definitely been fun to watch, and kind of watching him develop throughout the years,” Rivera said.

Yuma, but attended St. Francis High where he graduated in 2016. He played all four years on varsity at shortstop, second base, third base and center field. Valenzuela was named to the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League All-League First Team in each of his four seasons with the Sharks. St. Francis coach Kenny Nakagawa said it’s an accomplishment well deserved for his former player. “Everybody that we played against knew that he was a special kid and we just knew that it was a matter of time before he was going to get an opportunity to play at the next level,” Nakagawa said. Nakagawa congratulated Valenzuela with a phone call and told him all the hard work

Pires. Tekaat and Pires won their eight-lap heat races. Four Banger >> Dan McCabe won the 20-lap Four Banger main event slightly ahead of rookie John Grilli. Grilli led in the early laps with McCabe in pursuit. McCabe made his move for the lead on lap 10, while Ryan McClelland remained in second. McClelland briefly took the lead on lap 12 but lost it to McCabe a lap later. Grilli stayed in the third position during the close battle for first and retook the lead on lap 14. McCabe finally made his winning move on the final lap for the well earned victory. Grilli settled for second, while McClelland retired late in the race, which allowed Tony Gullo to finish third. Kate Beardsley, Nicole Beardsley, Bill Beardsley, McClelland, Chuck Kessinger, Roy Iler and Dakota Keldsen rounded up the top-10. Grilli and McClelland won their eight-lap heat races. Up Next >> The action returns Friday night with the BCRA and Ocean Midgets headlining the show. The evening also includes the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, South Bay Dwarf Cars and Police N Pursuit cars. For further information, go to www.racepmg.com “(Valenzuela) is just excited to start the next chapter in his life,” he said. As a freshman at St. Francis, Valenzuela batted .402 with a home run, 13 RBI and 14 stolen bases. The following year, he batted .349 with nine RBI and 19 stolen bases. Valenzuela showed what he can truly do during his junior year after he posted a .500 batting average with 20 RBI and 44 stolen bases. He was also named to the All-State team. During his senior year, Valenzuela hit a .442 with a home run and 22 stolen bases. He was also named the MVP in the Great West League All-Star game. “I think his work ethic alone to our program was huge and what it meant to be a baseball player here in our area,” Nakagawa said. Rivera said he’s excited for Valenzuela to get the opportunity to play at the next level and fulfill a lifelong dream. “It was just another stepping stone of what he’s gotta do to continue to go to the top,” Rivera said. Rivera said he also spoke with Valenzuela for a brief moment and kept close communications with him throughout the process. Rivera said they talked about going through so much together to get to where he’s at now, including the lack of sleep, the long drives and everything they could think of in his journey. “It’s still kind of surreal,” Rivera said. “But I was never surprised, I knew that kid was special and I knew he had a lot in him.” Valenzuela said he plans on returning back to Cal State Fullerton for his senior year during the offseason to get his master’s degree in communications. But for now, the next step is more rehab and spending time at the training facilities in Mesa, Ariz. starting next week. “I’m looking forward to getting healthy and being able to be back on the field and just start my professional career,”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (800) 758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.homesearch. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-1240. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the City of Watsonville has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Floodplains Protection. The activity is funded under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The proposed project will be located in the City Plaza park located at 350-358 Main St. in the City of Watsonville, County of Santa Cruz. City Plaza is a flat approximately 1.402-acre park located in the heart of downtown Watsonville. The City intends to install an approximately 300 sq. ft. prefabricated restroom unit with two ADA-accessible unisex stalls and an integrated water fountain on the northeast side of the Plaza near the Union St./ Peck St. intersection. The restroom will be elevated a minimum of one foot above the floodplain and will encompass just over 300 sq. ft. of the floodplain. The City of Watsonville has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: Three alternatives were considered: 1) Alternative 1 – abandoning the proposed project site and building the restrooms facility on another site in the City; 2) Alternative 2 – build the structure within the City Plaza park but in an area outside of the floodplain, and; 3) Alternative 3 - the No-Action Alternative not proceeding with the addition to the park. The project will be mitigated by elevating the structure one foot minimum above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Alternative 1 was determined to not be a practicable alternative due to there being no alternative undeveloped sites of suitable size in the City center for development of the project. Alternative 2 was determined to not be a practicable alternative due to there being no area within the park but outside of the floodplain where the structure could be built. The area located within the 500-year floodplain is too small for the project. Alternative 3, the No-Action Alternative, was determined to not be a viable or practicable alternative as the park would continue to have porta-potties located in the park in the floodplain, not elevated out of the floodplain as with the proposed project. Additionally, having a permanent restroom with hard utilities will reduce health and safety issues associated with “permanent” porta-potties. All State and Local wetland protection policies and procedures will be complied with. The City of Watsonville has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City of Watsonville at the following address on or before June 14, 2019: City of Watsonville, 250 Street, Watsonville, CA 95076 and 831.768.3150, Attention: Ben Heistein A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8am to 5pm at the above address. Comments may also be submitted via email at Benjamin.heistein@cityofwatsonville.org. Date: June 7, 2019 Aviso final y explicación pública de la actividad propuesta en una planicie de inundación de 100 años Para: Agencias, grupos e individuos interesados Por este conducto se avisa que la Ciudad de Watsonville ha conducido la evaluación requerida por la Orden Ejecutiva 11988 de acuerdo con las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR 55.20, subparte C Procedimientos para hacer determinaciones sobre el manejo y la protección de la planicie de inundación. La actividad está financiada por el programa de Subsidios para el Desarrollo Comunitario (conocido como CDBG por sus siglas en inglés). El proyecto propuesto estará situado en la Plaza de la Ciudad ubicada en 350-358 calle Main, en la Ciudad de Watsonville, condado de Santa Cruz. La Plaza de la Ciudad es un parque de aproximadamente 1.402 acres ubicado en el corazón del centro de Watsonville. La ciudad tiene la intención de instalar una unidad de baños prefabricada de aproximadamente 300 pies cuadrados con dos puestos unisex accesibles por ADA y una fuente de agua integrada en el lado noreste de la Plaza cerca de la intersección de la calle Unión y calle Peck. El baño se elevará un mínimo de un pie sobre la llanura de inundación y abarcará un poco más de 300 pies cuadrados de la llanura de inundación. La ciudad de Watsonville ha considerado las siguientes alternativas y medidas de mitigación que deben tomarse para minimizar los impactos adversos y restaurar y preservar los valores naturales y beneficiosos: Se consideraron tres alternativas: 1) Alternativa 1: abandonar el sitio del proyecto propuesto y construir las instalaciones de baños en otro sitio en la ciudad; 2) Alternativa 2: construir la estructura dentro del parque de la Plaza de la Ciudad pero en un área fuera de la llanura de inundación, y; 3) Alternativa 3 - la Alternativa de no acción - no proceder con esta adición al parque. El proyecto se mitigará elevando la estructura lo mínimo de un pie por encima de la elevación base de inundación (conocido como BFE por sus siglas en inglés). Se determinó que la Alternativa 1 no es una alternativa viable debido a que no hay sitios alternativos que no están desarrollos del tamaño adecuado en el centro de la ciudad para el desarrollo del proyecto. Se determinó que la Alternativa 2 no es una alternativa viable debido a que no hay área dentro del parque donde se podría construir la estructura que esté fuera de la llanura de inundación. El área ubicada dentro de la llanura de inundación de 500 años es demasiado pequeña para el proyecto. La Alternativa 3, la alternativa de no acción, se determinó que no es una alternativa viable o práctica, ya que el parque continuaría teniendo portaequipajes ubicados en el parque y aun estarían dentro de la llanura de inundación y no fuera de este como el proyecto proponía. Además, tener un baño permanente con servicios públicos reducirá los problemas de salud y seguridad asociados con los baños portátiles “permanentes”. Se cumplirán todas las pólizas y procedimientos estatales y locales de protección de humedales. La ciudad de Watsonville ha re-evaluado las alternativas de construcción dentro la llanura de inundación y ha determinado que no tiene una alternativa viable. Los archivos ambientales que documentan el cumplimiento con los pasos 3 a 6 de la Orden Ejecutiva 11988 están disponibles para inspección pública, revisión y copia a solicitud en los momentos y ubicación descritos en el último párrafo de este aviso para recibir comentarios. Hay tres propósitos principales para este aviso. Primero, personas que pueden verse afectadas por las actividades en las planicies de inundación y aquellos que están interesados en la protección del medio ambiente natural se les debe dar la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y brindarles información sobre estas áreas. En segundo lugar, un programa de aviso público adecuado puede ser una herramienta educativa pública importante. La difusión de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre planicies de inundación pueden facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales. Tercero, como

New historical novel set in Watsonville By JOHANNA MILLER

By TARMO HANNULA

OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE—Author Barbara Anne King was in the midst of writing a different book when she got the idea for “The California Immigrant.” Born and raised in Watsonville, King was researching her hometown when she came across bits of history she had never known. “I was falling down the internet ‘rabbit hole’ of information,” King said. “I kept finding all of this stuff that, despite growing up in Watsonville, I hadn’t heard before.” King was inspired to write a book set during World War II. In particular, she wanted to tell the story of the immigrant experience. King’s own grandparents on her father’s side immigrated from Croatia to the U.S. “The California Immigrant” follows the story of a young Yugoslavian immigrant named Martin Petrovich, who comes to live in Watsonville—a small farming town with a diverse community; Mexicans, Croatians, and Japanese all lived and worked together. But after Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, things change fast—and Martin suddenly finds himself at a crossroads when his Japanese friend is facing imprisonment. King said that growing up, she had to learn from a school friend about the imprisonment of JapaneseAmericans bu the U.S. government in 1942. “A friend of mine pointed to an old photo on the wall

SANTA CRUZ—For a different take on the art scene around Santa Cruz, wander into the Tannery Arts Center on River Street (just east of Highway 1) and check out the two massive freestanding sculptures created by Jayson Fann. The two works, made from driftwood, are part of Santa Cruz Arts Council’s annual Ebb and Flow Arts Festival, an art-infused event that celebrates the San Lorenzo River which includes a sprawling street festival, free exhibitions, and live music under the stars. Over the past several weeks, Fann has invited the public to help erect the two-part artwork titled “Spirit Nest.” The pieces will be open to view in completion during the monthly First Friday Art Tour around downtown Santa Cruz. The event runs today from 5:30-9 p.m. Other artworks will be displayed around the San Lorenzo River downtown. On his website Fann’s artwork is described as “interweaving architecture and spirit with seamless grace and beauty;” Fann aims to express his love of art and culture in every detail of his work. Fann is an interdisciplinary artist and designer with a focus on large-scale works, weaving natural architecture, cultural imagery, and inspirational messages. He emphasizes in creating “interactive staged environments,” which integrate visual arts, activism, performance and ritual. The Tannery Arts Center is located at 1010 River St. in Santa Cruz.

When I learned—I just couldn’t believe I didn’t know.” For “The California Immigrant,” King dove deep into Watsonville’s role in World War II. Despite now living in Connecticut, she often visits Watsonville to see family and friends, and on trips she would meet with local historians and dive through library archives. King discovered facts such as the Watsonville Municipal Airport being used by the U.S. Navy during the war. She learned of the cherry blossom trees that were gifted to the town from Japan (many of which were eventually cut down). She found out that Japanese, Italians and Germans were at one point not allowed to go west of See BOOK, page C3

FOOD

Make your own filo spinach or pumpkin pie

f you have ever had baklava, I’m sure you appreciated the ultrathin and crispy layers of dough interspersed with nuts and soaked in sweet syrup. If you have been brave enough to try and make it yourself, you have surely wrestled with the sheets of filo - or phyllo dough and wondered how it was made. Store bought filo is made by machine but here is your chance to make a more primitive version. It wasn’t too difficult to make, once I found the right recipe in Diane Kochilas’s “My Greek Table” cookbook. She has the right ingredients that miraculously work to make the dough roll out easily unlike other recipes I have tried that took a lot of patience and muscle. “Phyllo” is the Greek word for leaf and the dough is rolled out to leaf thinness. Wheat was first cultivated over 11,000 years ago around the Tigris and Euphrates River region, now Iraq, in what was one of the first examples of humans living in a civilization. Later, the Byzantines, whose empire roughly spanned from 395 to 1453 ACE, became experts at inventing technological devices that expanded the production of wheat, like the watermill that ground it into flour, and an ancient dough mixer that was driven by oxen.

Old style phyllo dough:

The Mixing Bowl Sarah Ringler Their empire, at its largest, extended from southern Spain in the east to around the northern, southern and eastern coasts of the Mediterranean including what is now called Egypt, Turkey and Greece. Breads they developed like filo and pita, are still common to this entire area today. In case this recipe sounds familiar, over a year ago, I presented similar spinach pie but the dough in that recipe was a yeast bread. It was Jordanian, which was also part of the Byzantine Empire. I combined Diane Kochilas’s filo recipe with a spinach filling from David Tanis’s New York Time’s City Kitchen column. The pumpkin filling is my invention, made with one from my garden that was left over from last Halloween. Both fillings have a savory taste, freeze well and are easy to heat up in a toaster oven for a quick lunch or snack.

3 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar ½ cup cold water, more if necessary Cornstarch or rice flour for rolling out - about 1 cup Spinach filling: 1 pound bag frozen spinach or other greens (about 1 1/2 pounds fresh, washed, chopped and steamed) 1 cup chopped parsley 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or 1/3 cup dried 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes 2/3 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes, optional 1 cup crumbled feta Salt and pepper olive oil for brushing, about 2/3 cup Pumpkin filling: 2 cups cooked pumpkin 1 cup fresh sage leaves, washed and dried ½ cup fresh oregano leaves, washed and dried 3 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup crumbled feta Salt and pepper Olive oil for frying pies

Make the phyllo by thoroughly combining the flour and salt in a bowl or stand mixer. In another smaller bowl, mix olive oil, yogurt, vinegar and 1/2 cup of cold water. Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Add more water if necessary. It is easier to add more water now rather than later. Mixture should form a shape when pinched. In a stand mixer, mix for 5 minutes. The dough should be very pliable and more like pie crust dough. When the dough is well combined, cover with plastic wrap and let sit 30 minutes. Make the spinach filling. If you are using fresh greens, wash well and dry. Steam or plunge into a pot of boiling water and cook just enough to turn the greens dark green. Drain. Chop parsley and dill. Mix the greens, oregano, chili pepper, tomatoes and feta. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use. For the pumpkin filling, put the pumpkin pulp in a bowl and mix until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a small frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add the leaves and fry until crispy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to the pumpkin with the feta cheese and mix. Adjust flavors. Do not overmix.

Tarmo Hannula/Register-Pajaronian

Knead the dough a bit and cut into 6 pieces. Roll into balls and dust with cornstarch or rice flour. On a board, roll out each ball of dough in the cornstarch or rice flour until it is about 14-16 inches across. This takes a little patience. When you get to the desired diameter, dust the dough with the cornstarch or rice flour and set aside. Continue with your workout until all 6 are rolled out and pile them on top of each other. You can make them even thinner by rolling them as a stack but make sure they don’t stick together. Take the stack of dough and cut them down the middle so you now have 12 halves. Get out the filling. Brush some

olive oil on the half leaving 1/2 inch around the edges. Take about 1/4 cup of filling and spread it on half the dough then fold over. Pinch and press the edges, dust with rice flour or cornstarch and set aside. When you have made 12 pies, heat a griddle over medium heat. Take a pie and brush one side with olive oil. Put that side on the hot griddle and cook for about 2-4 minutes. Brush the top with olive oil and when the bottom is brown, flip and cook about the same time. Cook that side until brown. Continue until you have cooked all 12. Serve warm. Pie freeze well and reheat easily in a toaster oven on in a frying pan.

Marini’s Candies

Main Street Burgers & Brews Main Street Burgers & Brews has started to creep into my list of favorite burger stops in South County. They have a good selection of alternatives, but, as the name would suggest, their burgers are their main draw. The Guacamole Burger and Chipotle Burger are my favorites — each come in at $8.50. Both feature a 1/2 pound fresh beef patty, the works (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onion and mayo) and a pleasant kick. The former has pepper jack cheese, guacamole and grilled jalapeños. The latter carries Monterey jack cheese, avocados and a house made mild chipotle sauce that completes the tasty package. Sides are extra, but I do recommend getting a 50/50 combo of garlic fries and onion rings ($6).

English Toffee is one of numerous selections at the walk-up counter at Marini’s Westside Candies, 332 Ingalls St. on the westside of Santa Cruz. Four generations of Marinis have been making candy in Santa Cruz since 1915. “Our candies are handmade locally, using strict quality guidelines and only the finest of ingredients,” a note on their website states. They feature salt water taffy, caramel corn, homemade fudge, nut clusters, popcorn, sodas, nice cream and a variety of other delights. They also have locations on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and 1308 Pacific Ave. in downtown Santa Cruz.

DRINK El Valle Produce I love that El Valle Produce takes full advantage of what it has going for it: fresh veggies and fruit. Their juices have for sometime been one of my favorite quick pickups. My go-to is the orange, carrot and ginger mix ($5.50 for a large) that gives every lunch a pleasant, healthy ending.

Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail The completion of the 32-mile Rail Trail is still so far away — 10 years, according to Land Trust of Santa Cruz County Executive Director Stephen Slade — but if you’d like a small taste of what will be, I recommend taking a bike ride on the Monterey Bay Costal Recreation Trail, which starts in Marina and takes cyclists all the way into Monterey. The ride does not come without its challenging sections, but the beautiful views of the Monterey County coastline and the safe space it provides the riders are a treat. Additionally, Turlock’s Dustbowl Brewing will soon open a tap room near the Monterey Wharf, which is at the end of the trail. A nice ride and cool beer pair well.

So it’s good to have a few natural niches.” King will be at Kelly’s Books

Women detectives hang their shingle in 1920s A stylish drama series that drew critical kudos in its native Canada comes south of the border to make its U.S. debut this week on Ovation. In “Frankie Drake Mysteries,” premiering Saturday, June 15, on the cablenet, Lauren Lee Smith (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Normal”) stars as the title character, the head of the female-only Drake Private Detectives with her partner, Trudy Clarke (Chantel Riley, “Wynonna Earp”), in 1920s Toronto. Together, this duo use their gender to their advantage as they defy convention and flaunt the law to investigate cases that either police won’t touch or that clients can’t take to the authorities at all. The atmospheric series, which premiered in Canada in 2017, was filmed in Toronto and takes advantage of many of the city’s vintage exteriors that remain from the 1920s. But much of its storyline springs from the very modern-day theme of women in a male-dominated profession, as Smith explained to a recent gathering of journalists in Pasadena, Calif. “It’s sort of the basis of our story, in a sense,” the Vancouver native says. “You know, it’s these women who, in the early, you know, 1920s are sort of going against all odds and opening up the very

first female private detective agency, and doing things that, you know, the women at that time weren’t necessarily doing, like working and riding motorcycles, and solving cases and crimes, and shooting guns.” And toward that end, Smith notes some of the vintage equipment of the time that was used in the making of the series wasn’t necessarily cooperative. “I think the bane of my existence for Season 1 was trying to operate the cars and the motorcycle that we often drove,” Smith says. “It lit on fire at one point. It’s when you’re supposed to be going forward it would reverse. I think our entire blooper reel is just me screaming and swearing at various vehicles that I had to drive.” But conversely, she says, the vintage clothing was very instrumental in getting her into character. “I always say it sort of takes bits of the work out of it for us, in a sense ...,” she says. “It sort of immediately puts you in a different head space and a different zone, which I think is a really cool thing about doing a period piece.”
