CITY SAYS IT HAS BEGUN TO LOOK AT THEFT IN MODESTO Staff report
Barry Holtzclaw
Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee, a 30-year-plus law enforcement veteran, found himself the victim of a crime when someone stole his personal vehicle April 17, according to police. The chief ’s service firearm and badge, among other personal items, were inside the vehicle when it disappeared, police said Tuesday. Smithee was in Modesto on personal business, attending a graduation after he left Gilroy on Friday, according to a press release from Gilroy Police Department. After the ceremony, Smithee discovered his truck was missing and presumed stolen. Modesto police are investigating the crime. The truck had been locked and the vehicle alarm activated when Smithee left it parked earlier in the evening, police said. Along with personal items, Smithee had temporarily stored his department-issued service firearm, police badge and city-issued laptop computer inside the truck, police said. As of May 1, the truck was recovered but the other items had not been located.
INTERVIEWED Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith and challenger John Hirokawa sat down for interviews with editors on April 20.
Sheriff’s race heats up SMITH, HIROKAWA TRADE BARBS AS COUNTY JAIL ISSUE DOMINATES TOPICS IN INTERVIEWS By Barry Holtzclaw & Michael Moore
Less than a month after some of her opponents said she should quit over decades-old ethical allegations, five-term incumbent Sheriff Laurie Smith has come out swinging.
In a no-holds-barred interview with editors of the Gilroy Dispatch and Morgan Hill Times, Smith claimed San Jose media were deliberately spreading false complaints about her— that she had interfered with a gender harassment complaint against her 25 years ago—and accused her leading challenger, her former undersheriff John Hirokawa, of responsibility for lax jail administration that led to the murder of an inmate in 2015 by correctional officers. On the same day of Smith’s interview, April 20, Hirokawa
also sat down in Morgan Hill with the same editors—New SV Media Publisher Dan Pulcrano, New SV Media Managing Editor and Gilroy Dispatch Editor Barry Holtzclaw and Morgan Hill Times Editor Michael Moore. Hirokawa said the sheriff had been “asleep” and unresponsive to his pleas for jail reforms prior to the death of a mentally ill inmate whose assailants—three jailers—would be convicted of murder. The two candidates’ attacks on each other in separate interviews showed clearly that the
increasingly vicious race for sheriff of California’s sixth most populous county has emerged as a two-person contest, and one that could continue past the June 5 primary. Administration of the county jail continues to be a big issue for both the incumbent and challengers. Smith is pressing hard to top the 50-percent mark in the primary vote and avoid a long, hot summer campaign. At the same time, she has avoided some opportunities to ➝ Sheriff Race, 4

Brawl brings Britton carnival to halt TEEN SUSPECTS KNEW EACH OTHER, HAVE HISTORY WITH POLICE Michael Moore Editor
going to make a stand. He was going to do whatever it took to get to jail.” Additional officers responded, and the second juvenile was taken into custody, police said. While the teen was being arrested at the crowded carnival, other teenagers interfered and assaulted multiple officers, resulting in four arrests in the area of the basketball courts. The surrounding crowd grew to about 200 people, many of whom contributed to an increasingly “hostile environment,” police said. This resulted in police response from multiple agencies, including Gilroy, San Jose, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and California Highway Patrol. A total of 59 officers responded to the scene before the crowds were dispersed. Many of those in the unruly crowd displayed gang signs, shouted gang slogans and wore gangrelated clothing, police said. As police attempted to control the crowd, four more juveniles were arrested just outside the campus boundaries, near the intersection of Monterey Road and Keystone Avenue, police said. Police ordered the crowd to disperse, threatening to arrest any subjects

Morgan Hill citizens, school officials and community leaders this week were still trying to make sense of an April 27 brawl in which police said they were attacked by several teens while attempting to arrest a juvenile who had brought a knife to the Britton Middle School carnival. The Friday incident quickly spiraled into a largescale emergency operation involving five police agencies, and resulted in the cancellation of what had been billed as a three-day family-friendly carnival. Police on Tuesday offered more details about the eight juveniles they arrested that suggests their assaults on officers were organized. “We’re under the impression that they all knew each other,” Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Troy Hoefling said May 1. The incident started on Britton Middle School
grounds, 80 W. Central Ave., at 5:48pm, April 27, when school staff contacted two uniformed Morgan Hill police officers who had been assigned to patrol the annual carnival, police said. The officers were told that a male juvenile on the carnival site—on the northern edge of downtown Morgan Hill—was in possession of a knife that another student had given him. Police contacted the juvenile with the knife while he was in line for one of the carnival rides, authorities said. The child was arrested without incident. Immediately after that arrest, school staff then directed police to the juvenile who had given the knife to the other suspect, police said. In addition to providing the knife, that student had also caused a disturbance on campus earlier in the day and had been asked to leave by school authorities. When officers approached this teen on the basketball courts on the south side of the campus, the suspect “automatically” took a fighting stance, Hoefling said. “He was intent on telling officers he was not going to go with the program. He was derogatory, cursing at the officers, and didn’t care what happened and he was
BASKETBALL MELEE This is how the Britton Middle School basketball court looked after police and school officials shut down a family carnival. who stayed in the area. All eight of the arrested male juveniles were local residents “from a variety of schools throughout the district,” Hoefling said. “Most of the eight—if not all” of the teen suspects have previous history with Morgan Hill police. Two of the suspects are age 17; two are 15; three are 14; and one is 13. These juvenile suspects were booked at the county’s Juvenile Hall on suspicion of a variety of crimes, including possession of a knife on school grounds; assault on an officer; felonious threats on officers; inciting a riot
and resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer. Police did not release the names of the arrested juveniles. Hoefling said officers could have arrested even more teens who intentionally blocked intersections when police patrol cars arrived at the scene, “attempting to stop responding units.” The teens who assaulted the officers “jumped on their backs” and tried to pull officers away, “as if they were trying to rescue their friend from arrest,” Hoefling said. In one instance, a teen approached
an officer while holding a skateboard but was quickly disarmed. The assaulted officers suffered minor injuries, the worst occurring when a suspect punched an officer in the face. An officer deployed a Taser on one of the suspects, Hoefling said. As a result of the melee, police and the Morgan Hill Unified School District decided to shut down the carnival for the rest of the weekend. The annual fundraiser for the school had been scheduled to continue until the evening of April 29.

Gilroy Police are looking for a 33-year-old San Martin man who they say stabbed a victim in an east Gilroy neighborhood last week.
About 6:45pm on Thursday, April 26, Gilroy police received a call reporting a male who was bleeding near the 300 block of IOOF Avenue, according to authorities. When officers arrived, they searched the area but could not locate anyone who appeared to be associated with the call. However, officers noticed a “moderate amount” of what appeared to be freshly spilled blood

On the record, Q&A with Sheriff Smith INCUMBENT SHERIFF PROMISES A TRANSPARENT SIXTH TERM Q. There's obviously a lot of growth in South County. Do you see any need for changes in manpower strategies for handling this increase?
Is there anything the sheriff’s office could or should do to curtail the proliferation of accidents and traffic violations on rural roads like Watsonville Road that have become commuter routes? I think it's increased. I think that we’re going to work on traffic enforcement. We’ve talked to the Highway Patrol about it. We've got a great relationship and they're going to work with us on it, and they don't mind that we do traffic enforcement, because in unincorporated areas the
traffic enforcement is CHP. But that doesn't mean that we can't write as many tickets as wherever we want. People think we can't write tickets on the freeway, but yes we can. We don't generally, because it's not our responsibility, but we certainly have the authority. What of the allegation from the 1990s, accusing you of sexual harassment? Basically, I say it is false— and you know, it is very hurtful. For generations to come, you have to read about how this guy made these salacious allegations against me that are not true. So may we ask you something about your former undersheriff, John Hirokawa? Was he responsible for the 2015 death of Michael Tyree in the Santa Clara County Main Jail? In July of 2010 he was
chief of correction—with no correction. Now he’s saying apparently he has taken full responsibility for the murder [of inmate Michael Tyree]. I can call them murderers now because the three jailers were convicted of Tyree’s death. [Hirokawa] was there during that time and he froze—he didn't want to do any media, didn't want to talk about. We were writing a reform plan and he didn't want anything to do with it. I think he just panicked. He was chief all the way up until he retired [in 2016]. And he's saying that he had no authority, that he had to do whatever you wanted. You know that's a great thing to say right now, but that's that's factually inaccurate. He reported to the Board of Supervisors. He met in closed session with the Board of Supervisors.
Barry Holtzclaw
A. We always look at cost for service. And if we need additional staffing for calls for service, we base our staffing on that. And you know, we have two rural crime deputies that work here with the ranchers and the cattlemen and everything down here. But our South County statistics? I was actually literally surprised. Auto theft in 2016 it was 138. Last year, 47. Everything [in crime stats] is significantly down [in 201718]. Everyone's concerned
about thefts from vehicles, which is just really really high in 2016, when it was 40 and in 2017 it was 27 [incidents]. I never take credit for good crime rates, because I think that law enforcement doesn't have the biggest impact on crime rates. The economy, the employment rate, alcohol, drugs, socioeconomics are factors.
INTERVIEW Sheriff Laurie Smith sits down with editors of the Morgan Hill TImes and Gilroy Dispatch. And he set goals and objectives on the entire jail with the Board of Supervisors. The fact is, that he was running the jails. It's very convenient now for him to say that and place blame somewhere else.
Are you satisfied with the current setup for administration of the jail? It does need to be changed because it's somewhat convoluted. My current ➝ Smith,8
On the record, Q&A with John Hirokawa THE FORMER UNDERSHERIFF SAYS IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE Q. Why did you decide to run for sheriff? A. I want to restore the integrity, fairness, transparency, community trust and balance to the elected position of sheriff. This is critically important to our community because the culture of the sheriff 's office starts at the top. The sheriff is a public servant leading by example. I believe that I have in-depth knowledge and experience and have had diverse responsibilities. What do you think are the top two public safety issues in unincorporated portions of Santa Clara County? Probably the number of supervisors and deputies
that are assigned to the area. And then how those shifts and especially the special assignments needs to be flexible to the needs, especially in more rural areas. How they're deployed and how the shifts are arranged are probably important. I have been talking to the rank-and-file. I believe that it's important to have that communication with the community groups in the South County to determine how to best serve this community. The best ideas come from, guess what? The rank-and-file in the community. What I'm looking for is to create more supervision at all the shifts to make sure there’s complete coverage. Outreach is important, not just at certain election periods, but consistently throughout the term, and that's why I’ll continue to do it. But on top of that
is the training with regard to certain crimes that are more unique to the South County area. Fish and game issues, things like that. Because of the growth of the area there is a lot more traffic on alternate commuter routes. Is there anything you think the sheriff's office could or should do to kind of curtail that? Helping the Highway Patrol is key. But the other thing that you do is that when there is no sure concurrent jurisdiction, we can enforce traffic laws just like Highway Patrol. And you talk to those chiefs—you collaborate with them: Can we help? Can we do things? Are you going to be OK? So again, I'm about communicating, talking to the community and talking to other law enforcement agencies about how to address these
issues. There’s nothing stopping the sheriff’s deputies from enforcing traffic laws. There is a sheriff’s substation in San Martin. Do you think you think it’s adequately staffed? I think it could be again. I think it could be better staffed in regards to supervision and manpower. But I think the first order of business is to look at the ratio of supervision and when the supervisors are on duty. You were part of the sheriff’s senior management for at least five years. Did you ever come to the sheriff and say, ‘We should be doing this,’ and she said, ‘No we can't do this?’ I would say she [Sheriff Smith] was disengaged or sleeping. So what she would say is, “You do do what you
think is best.” OK. But when I was bringing things to her attention, especially about the jails, there was no response. So I had to take it. And that was in late 2014 early 2015, before the death of Michael Tyree. She had received letters and phone calls from the prison law office that had gone nowhere. Were you aware of any incidents that came to your attention? Complaints about the incidents that came to my attention were given to internal affairs and to the criminal division. Were you aware of a culture there that would lead to brutality? I was unaware of any issues that came up during the Michael Tyree investigation. However, in early 2015 before Michael Tyree was killed, I had already hired an
expert consultant to review some of the issues that we were having in the jails. I asked her [Sheriff Smith] if we can do these things. There was no response, so we went ahead and did it anyway. I’m advocating for oversight, independent oversight, an independent body, an inspector general, to say to the Board of Supervisors— who’s operating the jail? I brought this up. Who should be in charge of the county jails? The Sheriff ’s Department has no operational authority in the jails. There was somewhat of a contract agreement that put supervisors in command of a lieutenant in the jails to help oversee it. Everything's now under the chief of corrections. ➝ Hirokawa, 8
Smith and Hirokawa top the June ballot Sheriff Race, 1 tell her story—most recently as a no-show at a candidate forum on April 24—although she agreed to the nearly one-hour interview with the Times and Dispatch. The other challengers on the June ballot are retired Lt. Jose Salcido, Deputy Joe La Jeunesse,
and retired police chief Martin J. Monica. The Sheriff ’s Office has a staff of 1,800 sworn and non-sworn employees and an annual budget of about $308 million. The elected sheriff serves a term of four years. The Santa Clara County Sheriff 's Office serves the communities of
Cupertino, Los Altos Hills, Saratoga and the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. The Sheriff 's Office also maintains contracts with the Valley Transportation Authority and the Santa Clara County Parks Department for law enforcement services. The Sheriff 's Office is also responsible for
the safety and security of the Santa Clara County Superior Court system and all its staff. The Sheriff 's Office oversees the jail system for Santa Clara County, with over 4,000 inmates. Four of the five county supervisors — Cindy Chavez, Mike Wasserman, Dave Cortese and Ken
Yeager—have endorsed Smith. Supervisor Joe Simitian has not. The Times and the Dispatch are publishing an edited transcript of the April 27 interviews with Smith and Hirokawa, below. Longer versions will be available at morganhilltimes.com and gilroydispatch.com.
The editors said they chose to limit their sheriff interviews to the two front-runners who have raised the most funds and campaigned most extensively. The newspapers’ endorsement editorial for Santa Clara County Sheriff is on Page 6 of the May 4 issues.

OPINION GUEST VIEW CYRUS KAMKAR
Respect vets, student asks Concerned that his fellow students needed to know more about World War II and the bravery and sacrifices of ‘The Greatest Generation,’ Mount Madonna senior Cyrus Kamkar recently organized a veterans panel held at his private school. He expanded the panel to include veterans of several wars.
Re-elect Sheriff Laurie Smith to sixth term
I
n two decades as the county’s sheriff, Laurie Smith’s legacy includes both accomplishments and mistakes, and as she runs for a sixth four-year term, her challengers have sought to direct attention to the latter. Smith’s department’s investigation led to the successful prosecution of Sierra LaMar’s killer and she’s been out front on women’s issues—from rape cases at Stanford and De Anza College to the suicide of a West Valley high school student shamed on social media. Much of the controversy surrounds the management of California’s fifth largest jail system, which was returned to the sheriff ’s control in 2010 after a failed 13-year effort to run an independent Department of Correction. The Board of Supervisors stripped Sheriff Robert Winter of that responsibility in 1987 after a judge sentenced supervisors to jail for mismanaging the overcrowded system, and costs spiraled out of control. Eight years ago, the board had enough confidence in Smith to consolidate both departments under the control of a single executive. The county’s perpetually troubled correction system is a thankless, no-win assignment, and the current administration now owns the mess. In 2015, mentally ill inmate Michael Tyree was beaten to death by three guards who regularly pulled prisoners out of cells and roughed them up for sport. The next year two prisoners sawed bars and lowered themselves to a few hours of freedom using bedsheets. John Hirokawa, who is running against Smith, says it’s time to change the department’s leadership. That’s a fair argument, but is the alternative better? Hirokawa ran the jails for six years as Chief of Correction, including the time when the culture spiraled out of control and resulted in Tyree’s beating death. Hirakawa now claims that he was only in charge of laundry, janitorial services and
booking, and was just taking orders from Smith when Tyree was killed. At the same time, he says the disengaged sheriff let him do whatever he wanted. His title was Chief of Correction, he reported to Board of Supervisors and he accepted responsibility at the time of the 2015 incident. Now he wants to shift the blame to Smith. Is he running as a leader with experience, accountable for his actions, or as an ineffective flunky who took orders and failed to speak up? He can’t have it both ways and speak out of both sides of his mouth. While Hirokawa doesn’t mince words when it comes to criticizing his former boss, he stumbles and lapses into confusing bureaucratese when trying to articulate how he would do anything different. As a spokesman for a major law enforcement agency, he just isn’t ready for prime time. Another candidate for sheriff, former deputy sheriffs’ union leader Jose Salcido, has shown stunningly bad judgment during the campaign by associating with a released felon and registered sex offender. His tenure as law enforcement advisor to former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed was a low point in relations with that city’s police department, and while Salcido doesn’t deserve all the blame, there’s few accomplishments to take credit for. Santa Clara County’s population growth continues to tilt south and into the unincorporated areas under the protection of sheriff ’s deputies. Smith has demonstrated an ability to grow, and to support her deputies in their battles against crime in a rapidly growing metro area. She’s moving ahead with jail reform and is willing to hold her deputies accountable, which has earned her critics amongst former sheriffs who perennially back failed challengers. We’ll stick with Smith until a credible, next-generation leader enters the arena. She can do the job. The others have yet to demonstrate that they can.

I feel that respect for our veterans in today's culture is lacking, unfortunately, especially among my age group. My goal with this project was to spread the awareness of the importance of soldiers’ sacrifices. When people talk about how horrible Hitler was, they forget to mention that he could have won. If it weren’t for the United States and its brave soldiers, the world would be a very different place. What I am doing is not a message of pro war, if anything, it is anti-war. The further away we get from remembering these incidents in history, the closer we are to war and losing freedom. This can’t be thought of as something that happened a long time ago. War is relevant. I am very grateful for the veterans who participated in the panel at Mount Madonna: JP (Navy, WWII), Al Hopson (Air Force, WWII), David Perez (Army medic, WWII) Rick Noble (Army, long-range reconnaissance patrol, Vietnam), Gary (Army, Vietnam) Mike Baker (Army, Vietnam), and Dean Kaufman (Army, Gulf War). I have a deep interest in our nation's veterans, and feel that it is very important to remember their sacrifices. Every step we take in a free society, every movement, every breath was fought for and made possible by our veterans. Every freedom we have has been fought, bled and died for. The will to protect and preserve the ideas that shape us as Americans must continue to live on and be a shining example for the whole world to see. We are a unique country that was formed off a reaction to oppressive government rule, and we have successfully been consistent with those values by being the strongest enemy of tyranny and biggest preserver of freedom around the world. There is nothing that could sadden me more than to see our country become alienated from these unique and integral values. War must be avoided at all costs, but we should always be the first to sacrifice when it’s needed to ensure freedom. This is why it is important to not just respect our veterans, but to show them that you respect them. A WW II veteran once told me: “We aren’t called the greatest generation because of what we did. We were the greatest generation because of who we were. We could not have done what we did if it weren't for our values and patriotism. And always remember this, Cyrus, we didn’t fight for us, we fought for you.” I will always remember that. There is a quote that was found in a dead U.S. soldier’s diary on the battlefield from WW I that always gives me the chills: “America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.”

In November 2000, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure A, a 30-year half cent sales tax devoted to specific public transit capital improvement projects and operations. Most of the ballot-defined projects are massive and very complex, requiring years to plan, design and construct. Although in just the 11th of a 30 year program (tax collection started mid-2006), VTA has achieved significant results toward meeting Measure A goals, including milestones achieved during FY 2017 (7/1/16 - 6/30/17): • Extending BART to the Santa Clara County cities of Milpitas, San Jose and Santa Clara - The first phase, to Berryessa, is nearing completion, system testing is underway, and revenue service is projected for late 2018. • Improve Bus Service in Major Corridors - Construction of Alum Rock Santa Clara Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was completed and BRT revenue service along the corridor began May 2017. Also, construction of bus stop improvements for the Stevens Creek Rapid 523 was completed in late 2017 for this enhanced service that will serve the Berryessa BART Station when it opens in late 2018. • Caltrain service upgrades - The Santa Clara Caltrain Station Pedestrian Underpass Extension, which provides safe pedestrian and bicyclist crossing under the railroad tracks, was completed and opened in June 2017.
The public is encouraged to attend but for those unable, written comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on May 9 at the addresses shown below. If you need accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) such as sign language interpreters or accessible print materials, or need documents translated in your primary language or an interpreter for this meeting, please contact VTA’s Customer Service at least five days prior to the meeting at (408) 321-2300, TTY (408) 321-2330. Documents, Questions and Submitting Comments for CWC Public Hearing: Measure A Program documents and reports, including compliance audit results, are available at www.vta.org and for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays in the Building B lobby at 3331 N. First Street, Building, San José, CA 95134-1927. Questions or comments on the hearing should be emailed to board.secretary@vta.org or mailed to the Office of the Board Secretary at the above address. INDEPENDENT AUDIT: Fulfilling its ballot-defined responsibilities, the independent Citizens Watchdog Committee (CWC) for Measure A commissioned an audit of the Measure A Program financial records for FY 2017. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, independent certified public accountants, conducted the compliance audit. They issued an unqualified (“clean”) opinion, meaning that in their professional opinion VTA complied in all material respects with the provisions defined in the ballot. Every annual Measure A compliance audit (12 to date) has received a clean opinion.

Hirokawa calls for independent oversight Hirokawa, 1
Under what rules should Tasers be used by deputies in the field? I think the first thing that has to be done is an evaluation of
what might have come into play if we had them. There has to be within the use-offorce continuum something short of using deadly force, a firearm, OK? Other than using deadly force, you may be able to use the Taser, but that has never been spelled out. What about Tasers in the jail? The correctional deputies want Tasers in the jail. But they don't want oversight. Some people use the restrainer carotid hold. I think it’s past its day. They’re going to make mistakes in regards to how it is employed nationwide. Who would determine when an officer’s body cam footage could be released, so the public can get some confidence that procedures were followed? With regards to privacy: A body cam doesn't just
capture the person who may be the subject of the reasons why we're having contact. There may be other people also within our views or maybe other people in the background. OK, so they have privacy rights. So I believe that in general that the video itself, because there are privacy issues for the people being filmed, that there is an expectation of their privacy and how we go about releasing it. Now when you come to a controversial subject, a controversial subject, you most likely use force, right? Now I know you guys are in the newspaper business, right? So it’s a public record for you. You believe that there should be more transparency disclosure. OK. Only on certain circumstances do I believe that the video can be released. So I think I'm the only candidate who’s gone to
the unions and has advocated for oversight, independent oversight. Could you provide some clarity for the public and for the deputies about how the sheriff’s department should cooperate with immigration enforcement agents? OK, so we are not supposed to ask about immigration status or documentation. Also that creates an environment where we have a part of our community now who will not, who don't trust us in regards to our intent, in regards to what we may do if we start asking those questions. There was a directive from the county that no ICE agents or immigration people can come and go into the jail. But that information wasn't passed down to the people. She [Sheriff Smith] let them in. So there
Barry Holtzclaw
Who is operating the jail? Is it the board supervisors or is it the sheriff? OK, but if the Board of Supervisors is operating, running the jails, then there should an oversight report to the Board of Supervisors. That’s an independent oversight. The sheriff was responsible for, was reported as saying the sheriff has been operating the jails (since the merger). The sheriff is responsible, is a live person operating the jails. If that's true, they're pointing it out. That's how it's been and that's how it should be, then really then the board should have oversight and have that inspector general report to the board.
INTERVIEW Former Undersheriff John Hirokawa sits down with editors of the Morgan Hill Times and Gilroy Dispatch. needs to be a clear, unambiguous position from the top executive about where they stand.
For a longer version of this interview, go to morganhilltimes.com, or gilroydispatch.com.
Smith calls for changes in jail administration Smith, 1 undersheriff, Carl Neusel, is also the interim chief of corrections and reports to the Board of Supervisors in closed session and is evaluated by the board. It really should be a more clear-cut command. I think if you ask jail employees, they say that they don't know whom they work for, necessarily. There really needs to be needs to be a clear chain of command. Ultimately, everything is under me, because the undersheriff position is there and I'm the
appointing authority for all the deputies. But in functionality, it’s the chief of correction (who runs the jail). Do officers in the jail wear body cameras, and are those helping? Yes, and we've seen our complaints really go down. I was pretty unhappy that the county told me that a camera system in the jail would cost something like $20 million. I bought one system that was I think 15 cameras. We put them up in this one housing area and the next day there
was a major, major serious fight. And just having those cameras there, we were able to get criminal charges on the actual offenders. After that, the county went out and bought the same system. I'm also a big proponent of Tasers in the jail. I think that we have to do everything that we can protect our deputies. What's your thought about when or if deputies’ body camera videos should be released? That’s a really hard question
and I've wrestled with that a lot. I believe in that and also in privacy. I think that people really have the right to privacy. I know we can always hide behind the investigation exception. But I think there are going to be some court decisions. I think the courts are wrestling with that as much as the rest of us are—how does privacy and transparency mix, and what is the right answer? So do I think it should be released the day after the investigation ends? That's the problem: Is the
investigation done? But then the district attorney has to review it to find whether or not they're going to indict. When they do that very detailed report of the summary, and (report) their findings, they should release the tape at the same time. The DA's office should have to weigh in on that within a couple of months, instead of a couple of years. Do your officers use the carotid restraint? No. It's in our use-of-force policy, but it's very high
up, where it can rarely be used. Most people don’t know the carotid restraint is blood, and not air—This is what kills people [uses her hand to demonstrate pressure on the front of her windpipe]. For a longer version of this interview, go to morganhilltimes.com, or gilroydispatch.com.

Gilroy High dad celebrated for heroism JOSE PEREZ SAVED LOS BANOS COUPLE’S LIVES, CHP SAYS Michael Moore Reporter
Michael Moore
Morgan Hill resident Jose Perez was simply hoping he could “help somebody out” when he stopped on the side of a busy highway in January 2017 to check on the victims of a fiery traffic accident that happened right before his eyes. His actions saved two Los Banos residents from burning to death as he and another passing motorist pulled them to safety with flames beginning to engulf the victims’ vehicle, according to police. At a ceremony April 23 at the California Highway Patrol office in Gilroy, Perez was officially hailed a hero by police and South County’s elected state legislature officials. Perez attended the April 23 ceremony with his wife, Marie, and two teenage sons, Javen and Silas. CHP Commdr. Scott Parker presented Perez with the CHP’s Medal of Distinction—a rare honor—for his heroic efforts. Perez described what happened, and what he was thinking when he witnessed the head-on collision during a rainy afternoon Jan. 21, 2017. He was traveling eastbound on State Route 152, just east of San Felipe Road in east Gilroy, when a Ford
F150 pickup traveling in front of him “just exploded.” The pickup collided head-on with a Mercedes that was traveling westbound on State Route 152, Perez said. The pickup veered to the right shoulder, hit a guardrail and came to a stop just off the roadway. The Mercedes went abruptly to the other side of the road before coming to a stop. “My first thought, I figured there were major injuries, and somebody was hurt,” Perez told media assembled at the April 23 ceremony. “I was able to weave through the debris and not hit anything. I came to a stop and dialed 911.” Perez, who was traveling alone, exited his vehicle and approached the accident scene, “to see if there was anything I could do.” “As I was running toward (the truck), I saw an orange flame coming out of the engine compartment, so I knew it was going to catch on fire eventually,” he continued. “I went to the (passenger’s) side, and couldn’t get that door open. I went to the driver’s side and that’s when the engine compartment just exploded in flames.” With the help of the other passing motorist, Vidal Flores, he was able to remove the two unconscious occupants of the Ford—a man and a woman—out of the vehicle and safely away from the flames.
HUMBLE HERO Jose Perez saved the lives of two people in January 2017. “It happened so fast,” Perez said. Perez did not know Flores at the time. Flores, a Lake Elsinore resident, has also been recognized by CHP as a hero. Flores will also receive a Medal of Distinction at a separate ceremony closer to his home, Parker said. “I knew they were unconscious, and they were not going to get out on their own,” Perez said. “The last thing in the world I wanted to see was those two people burn.” One of two occupants of the Mercedes died in the collision, according to Perez and the CHP.
Perez grew up in the Salinas area and has lived in Morgan Hill with his family for about 18 months. His sons attend high school in Gilroy. The son of migrant workers, Perez flies corporate jets for a living. He told the media that his parents instilled “hard work and helping others” into his and his six brothers’ upbringing. “I was hoping I could help somebody out,” Perez said quietly and humbly of why he decided to help the 2017 accident victims. Perez’ wife, Marie, said she is proud of her husband for the actions he took.
“I’m extremely thankful that he’s OK and he was able to save those two people from that truck,” Marie Perez said. “It’s so unfortunate that there was a fatality at the scene, but it could have been worse.” The CHP certificate awarded to Perez April 23 also describes the accident. The description notes it was a three-car collision. The third vehicle was a 2012 Scion. “Absent your selfless actions, the occupants trapped inside of the burning Ford would not have survived,” reads the certificate. “You are
commended for your heroic actions, which saved the lives of two motorists.” Parker said the couple saved by Perez and Flores are “doing well.” Parker added that in his 20-year career with the CHP, he has never seen anyone receive the CHP’s Medal of Distinction. In addition to the CHP recognition, Alexander Pittaro of Sen. Bill Monning’s office and Pricilla Orona of Assemblymember Anna Caballero’s office presented Perez with certificates of commendation.

MBL SWIM FINALS
Robert Eliason
Going all in
FRESHMAN SENSATION Christopher’s Kylie Nguyen had the best overall time in the 100-yard breast stroke, finishing in 1 minute, 9.78 seconds in the MBL Championships last Saturday at Hartnell College. Nguyen is also a member of the Cougars’ 200 free and 200 medley relay teams.
MUSTANGS, COUGARS WIN MBL FINALS emanuel lee Sports Editor

For the ninth consecutive year and the 13th time overall, the Christopher High girls swimming team earned a Monterey Bay League title. The Cougars were too tough once again in the MBL Gabilan Division Championships last Saturday, totaling 359 points to easily finish ahead of runner-up Salinas (272). Gilroy High was equally dominant in winning the Pacific Division championship and just as impressive in taking second in the overall standings (boys and girls points combined). The Mustangs did it with the second smallest squad—12 girls and four boys—in the league. Christopher and Gilroy had several standouts excel, no surprise considering the city is rich with swimming talent. Swimmers with the best overall time in an event—counting both divisions— included Christopher’s Kylie Nguyen (100-yard breast stroke in 1 minute, 9.78 seconds), Nicole Critzer (100 butterfly in 59.45), Chris Critzer (100 freestyle), and Maria Higginbotham (100 and 200 free in 2:00.91). Top overall time event winners from Gilroy included Katelyn Brolin, who won the 500 free in 5:38.90, edging out Christopher freshman Ashley Flores’ 5:39.16 in one of the most exciting races of the day. The Mustangs also received
stellar performances from Ashley Harding, Alena Lepe and Adam Thompson, who won two Pacific Division titles in the 100 fly and 200 IM—his time of 1:02.72 in the fly was the fourth best overall time. Lepe won the Pacific title in the 200 free in 2:13.65, and Harding was stellar, taking the third best overall time in the 100 breast stroke in 1:12.32 and fourth best in the 100 free in 58.67. Nate Cazares took second overall in the 50 free in 24.06, and Alexa Bennett took third overall in the 50 free in 26.03. The high-points leader of the Championships was Higginbotham, who in addition to winning Gabilan titles in the 100 and 200 free was part of Christopher’s victorious 200 free and 200 medley relay teams. In addition to Higginbotham, the squads feature Critzer, Nguyen, Sierra Ceballos and Haley Hartman. Higginbotham entered the Championships not expecting to win the 200 free since she came in third place to two San Benito swimmers in the teams’ dual league meet. In the 100 at that same meet, a San Benito swimmer outouched her at the wall. However, Higginbotham got the best of the San Benito swimmers in the league’s biggest meet. “I was feeling pretty good and everything felt smooth,” she said. “Being a part of the relays was so satisfying because our two biggest competitors were Salinas and San Benito, so going into them we talked about having to do it for coach (Jeff Ross). We’re not used to losing relays (which they did against San Benito), so it got us fired up to win.” Higginbotham, Nguyen and both of the Critzers earned
SHE’S FAST Gilroy High’s Ashley Harding had a strong showing in the MBL Championships, finishing third overall in the 100-yard breast stroke in 1:12.32 and fourth overall in the 100 free in 58.67. CCS qualifying standards in their individual events. Ross was effusive in his praise of his swimmers. “Kylie is a freshman and she smoked it,” he said. “She is the most quiet girl ever, but she is an animal in the pool, a superstar. Maria is the real deal, just the best. Nicole is a bulldog and just a sophomore, and we also have three girls coming in next year who are quick. Ashley Flores takes everything that comes her way and is constantly improving.
And Chris and Nicole are sophomore twins who work hard and go after it.” The Christopher junior varsity boys won their respective league title, meaning there is an excellent chance the Cougars will have a boys varsity team— something they didn’t have this season—next year. “And the girls will be right up there again competing for the title,” said Ross, who has hinted as this being his final year of coaching.
If it is, Ross will leave the program in terrific shape. One has to look no further than Nguyen and the Critzer twins, as the trio continues to get faster with each stroke. Nguyen, who is one of the top freshmen in the CCS, is a versatile and hard working talent whose ceiling seems limitless. Same goes for the Critzers, as Chris won the 100 free rather handily, clocking a 49.03. He also had the second best ➝ Swim, page 18

Christopher, Gilroy swimmers excel ➝ From page 17
But that is why the successful swimmers reach the level they’re at, because they’re willing to put in mind-numbing lap after lap to reach their goal. Speaking of laps, Brolin swam 20 of them to take the 500 free in thrilling fashion. The Gilroy senior started fast—perhaps a bit too fast—before holding off a hard-charging Flores for the victory. Brolin took her first 100 out in 1:03 before settling into a range of 1:07 to 1:10 the rest of the way. Her final 100 split was, in fact, a 1:10. Brolin was elated and downright exhausted once she touched the wall. “I was hitting my pace the whole time and feeling strong the entire race,” she said. “It went by really fast, and I knew I did better but didn’t think I went that fast.” Brolin smashed her previous PR by 17 ½ seconds. Brolin chalked up a huge PR to the constant pace work she’s been doing in practice. Knowing what lap times she had to tick off, Brolin kept focused and her stamina was there to finish strong. “I usually fade, but this time I was able to keep going,” she said. “I could see the other girls behind me and thought they would catch me, because that’s what usually happens. And in the last 50 I saw her (Flores) a couple of lanes over coming closer, so I really had to pick it up and sprint to the finish. I don’t think I’ve ever been that tired after a race.” It was the first-ever individual title for Brolin, who qualified for CCS as a part of Gilroy’s relay team. Gilroy’s girls 200 free relay
team of Brolin, Harding, Bennett and Ellie Pickford had already hit the CCS cutoff time entering the league Championships. Mustangs coach Doug Pickford couldn’t have been prouder of his team’s performance. Harding only started swimming on the team as a junior but quickly made an impact. In two years, Harding went a perfect 8 for 8 in the Championships, winning every Pacific Division relay event she entered along with every individual event.
The real deal
“Ashley is very athletic and a super eager learner,” Pickford said. “She was a raw talent but you give her a little guidance and it goes a far way. She does her own studying and research on things and is very motivated and wants to be the best she can.” Harding had never competed in swimming until high school, and it’s a credit to her that she was able to qualify to CCS in each of her only two years of competition. Pickford also had positive things to say about Cazares, whose potential is very high. “Nate is a raw athlete with tremendous speed,” Pickford said. “He’s a little rough on his starts and turns, but his swimming is so fast that when he perfects the starts and turns, he’ll be on his way to great things. He just needs a great dive and turn and for sure he has 22 seconds in his sights next year for sure.” But perhaps no one has made the dramatic strides Thompson has in his first
Robert Eliason
time in the 200 free in 1:48.19. Nicole, meanwhile, won the 100 butterfly by a whopping 6 seconds in 59.45. It was one of the most impressive performances of the meet. She also had the third best overall time in the 100 backstroke in 1:04.67. Nicole Critzer said both of the relay events—while thrilling and exciting—were also stressful. However, she handled her splits just fine. Critzer’s goal is to swim the 100 fly in 57 or 58 seconds at the CCS Meet. “My mindset is simply to get the job done,” she said. In winning the 100 free, Chris put together an even split, a sign he knows how to properly pace himself for a race. “My mindset is I didn’t want to go out too fast because I wanted to have some legs coming back,” he said. “My goal is to make it to the CCS Finals in the 200 free.” The twins are close but not inseparable, which is a good thing. They have their own identities and are independent of one another. Although they’re similar in many ways— competitive and willing to put in long hours in the pool—they’re also markedly different. A couple of times a week, Chris will do double day practices, first in the morning with his club team and then in the afternoon with Christopher. Chris also does strength-training a couple of times a week and plays water polo for his club team on Sunday, meaning he rarely—if ever—takes a day off.
IMPROVER Adam Thompson, a Gilroy High senior who is in his first year on the swim team, won the 100-yard butterfly and 200 individual medley in the MBL Pacific Division Finals. and only year of swim competition. A standout water polo player, Thompson decided to play water polo this season after his dad and Pickford convinced him that he needed to be a strong swimmer if he wanted to reach his goal of being an impact water polo player in college.
Though raw, Thompson took to the sport almost immediately and the results started to show as the season wore on. “I’m not in any way being disparaging, but Adam being in his firstyear was absolutely clueless about swimming,” Pickford said. “He would just plow
through the water expending a lot of energy, and it was not a pretty thing. To see him refine his skills in 13 short weeks is very impressive. The transformation he’s gone through from being a madman out here to being efficient is great to see and not something many people can do.”

C
layton “Ronnie” Bermudez passed away on Thursday after a long battle with a chronic illness. He could light up a room with his energy and have everyone laughing in no time. Ronnie was a fierce family man and nothing made him happier than spending time with his great big Mexipino family and BBQing for everyone.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-681415-RY. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
