GOVERNOR’S STATE OF STATE CAUSES LOCAL CONFUSION Jaqueline McCool Reporter

Jaqueline McCool

Gov. Gavin Newsom sent shockwaves through California with his Feb. 12 State of the State address on Feb. 12 when he said “we have to get real” about the long-planned high-speed rail through California. Newsom told his statewide audience that the controversial project would “cost too much and take too long” and that he would shift focus to the Merced to Bakersfield portion of the plan. Newsom’s criticism of the rail line spawned cheers in the South Valley because many thought the project had been altered or ended all together. Two days later, the Governor issued a clarifying statement that seemed to indicate that not much had changed after all.

Police called to rally PROTESTORS GATHER IN HEAVY STORM OUTSIDE LOCAL OFFICE Jaqueline McCool Reporter

➝ High-speed, 2

In the middle of a drenching rain storm Feb. 14, a group of protestors gathered outside the Morgan Hill office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in hopes of shutting it down. The protest, organized by the Rapid Response Network in Santa Clara County, hosted a series of speakers at the Vineyard Court office

who advocated for the abolishment of the agency and the shutdown of the field office over an incident that occurred in December 2018. At the first protest, immigration attorney Dorothy Ma described an incident where an immigrant was detained by officers with the U.S. ICE agency and was denied due process while forced to sit in a van outside the Morgan Hill field office on Vineyard Court before he was transported to a processing center in San Francisco. The protestors returned nearly two months later, this time in smaller numbers in the winter rain, with a list of demands; many marched into the field office an read the list

to the officers inside. Morgan Hill police were called to the scene, and the building’s landlord faced off with the protestors who had gathered in the parking lot of the office. The protest ended peacefully, with protestors dispersing to public property, but vowing to return As car alarms blared, the small group of protestors continued to chant and give speeches in both English and Spanish. “What kind of a society are we when we tear their families apart?” Fr. Robert Brocato, from St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Gilroy, asked the crowd. “What kind of a society are we when our government institutions, which

we expect to be working in a fair way and a lawful way, are not? What about human dignity, basic human dignity?" The Morgan Hill ICE office is a administrative processing center. ICE spokesperson Richard Rocha responded to a request for comment: “The ICE office in Morgan Hill is solely administrative space and does not have space to process or detain individuals, nor is it set up to offer attorney or family visits. ICE routinely stops at the Morgan Hill office to allow detainees an opportunity to use the restroom en route to other permanent ICE facilities where full access to attorneys is provided.”

What’s going on with High-Speed Rail? ➝ High-speed, 2

Submitted Map

Boris Lipkin, Northern California regional director for the rail authority, said in an interview that funds will be redirected to ensure the Merced to Bakersfield line gets completed, but added that the Gilroy stop and rail infrastructure through Morgan Hill are still in the works. Lipkin said he knew the governor planned to address the project, but didn’t realize how much the remarks would confuse Californians. Newsom’s follow up remark came after he exchanged barbs with President Donald Trump on Twitter after Trump asked him to return the $3.5 billion in federal funds the project had received. Newsom said, “We’re going to make high-speed rail a reality for California. We have the capacity to complete the rail line between Merced and Bakersfield. We will continue our regional projects north and south. Finish Phase 1 environmental work. Connect the Central Valley to other parts of the state. For those who want to walk away, abandoning high-speed rail means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and lawsuits to show for it. I’m not interested in sending $3.5 B in federal funding—exclusively allocated for HSR— back to the White House.” Lipkin told this paper that the preliminary work being done in South County would continue, and while it was hard to

An email sent by Morgan Galli from the rail authority confirmed a South County meeting with the authority on March 5 will still happen as scheduled. Both Morgan Hill and Gilroy have previously held several

meetings with High Speed Rail Authority representatives, discussing possible routes for the rail line. Morgan Hill Councilmember Rene Spring released a statement before the Governor’s clarification praising the change of plans. “While I am a big supporter of public transportation projects, this one was not it for us

in our area! Thank you, Governor!,” wrote Spring. “Many Morgan Hill residents worried about HSR’s route might now be able to take a deep breath again!” Lipkin said the authority will continue to do all of the work in Northern and Southern California to get the areas “shovel ready.” While the project has never been fully

funded, Lipkin said the authority’s 2019 project update report and 2020 business plan will address the new focus on the Bakersfield to Merced line and how the rest of the project will continue to get funding. Ultimately, Lipkin said, the rail will still extend from Sacramento to San Diego.

“That’s what the governor supports, and that’s what the voters asked the authority to do—and eventually from there extend all of the way from sacramento to San Diego,” said Lipkin. “I think what you’ve seen since the speech is the very strong desire from all parts of the state to make that a reality.”

School board approves $3M in cuts $1.2 MILLION STAFF AMONG REDUCTIONS Scott Forstner Reporter

Gilroy Unified School District’s Board of Education approved nearly $3 million in cuts to the 2019-2020 budget, citing a continued trend of declining enrollment, lost revenue and increased costs. Board President James Pace said the latest costsaving measure, approved unanimously on Feb. 14, was not an easy decision to make. “We didn’t want to do this. We had to do this,” Pace added. The deepest of those cuts was $1.2 million in full-time salaries, the equivalent of approximately 12 positions. Superintendent Deborah

Flores said that the staffing cuts will not require layoffs, but will be accomplished through attrition, such as retirements and resignations. “Our primary objectives are to preserve the good fiscal health of the district and to make cuts at the district level first, away from the classroom,” Flores said. The veteran administrator cited $3.7 million in lost revenue due to declining enrollment, coupled with rising costs for employee pension rates, salaries and benefits as well as underfunded contributions to support students with special needs. “These are challenging times for Gilroy Unified as well as most districts in Santa Clara County,” Flores said. According to a staff

report, 26 of the 31 schools districts in the county are experiencing declining enrollment. “Enrollment loss is a function of a significant decline in birth rates, rising housing costs and a lower student generation rate from new residential developments,” according to staff. In Gilroy, last year’s enrollment dropped by 250 students, and that decline resulted in a $2 million-plus decrease in state funding for the current school year. That pattern continued into the 2018-19 school year, with district staff estimating 160 fewer students this year than the 2017-18 year, resulting in another $1.5 million drop in the state’s Average Daily Attendance funds. “Trimming the budget by $2.9 million in 2019-20

is necessary to address the erosion of revenue, and address the increase in employee’s total compensation through 202021,” according to the staff report. “Putting it simply, revenues are declining while expenditures are rising. Ongoing cuts are necessary to maintain fiscal stability.” Other items among the $2,859,501 in cuts for the 2019-20 school year include: • two new IT positions will go unfilled to save $270,856; • fewer textbooks will be purchased to save $250,000; • the district will employ two fewer instructional specialists/teachers on special assignment to save $246,192; • the district will terminate contract with

Deborah Flores Graduation Alliance to save $190,987; • a program administrator for student attendance will be eliminated to save $155,411; classified and paraeducator positions will go unfilled to save $100,000; and • Some summer school services will be eliminated to save $100,000.

If the downward trend continues as projected, the district anticipates cutting an additional $1 million in the 2020-21 budget, with an unidentified elementary school closure on that list. “Potentially if the budget went up, there are some things we’d be interested in restoring,” Pace said. “However with costs going up and revenue from the state going down, that puts us in a tough position in maintaining the fiscal health of the district.” Total expenditures for the 2019-20 budget stand at $131,389,940, increasing to $134,321,610 in 2020-21. With revenues falling short of expenditures, the district’s unrestricted reserve is expected to be nearly $9.2 million for the 2019-20 school term.

Support staff gets 6% in retroactive raises GILROY SCHOOL BOARD VOTES TO RATIFY AGREEMENT Scott Forstner Reporter

Gilroy school district negotiators agreed to a new contract with its support staff that was then ratified by the board of education at a Feb. 14 meeting. The Gilroy Federation of Paraeducators came to an agreement with Gilroy

Unified School District on the deal that includes a 2 percent salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2017; a 2 percent pay bump retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018; and a 2 percent hike retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019. The initial 2 percent pay increase was included as part of the current 201819 budget, at a cost of $115,240. The additional impact to the current and subsequent fiscal years is $57,620 for fiscal year 201819; $189,007 for fiscal year

2019-20; and $266,268 by the end of 2019-20, according to staff. Also part of the contract is an increase to the district’s medical contributions. Paraeducators are school employees who work alongside and/ or under the direction of a licensed or certificated educator. Employees in this bargaining group include general paraeducators, special education paraeducators, bilingual/

biliterate paraeducators, technology paraeducators, assessment paraeducators as well as home visitor, special education behavior support assistant, instructional assistant, district translator and occupational therapist. There is a wide range in salaries, from a “Step 1” general paraeducator earning $12.84 per hour to a “Step 5” occupational therapist earning $51.84 per hour, according to GUSD’s 2016-17 salary schedule.

With the retroactive salary increases, a general paraeducator’s hourly rate rose to $13.61 per hour while an occupational therapist’s hourly rate s now $54.95 as of Jan. 1, 2019.

GUSD receives $630k block grant

Gilroy Unified School District was allocated more than $630,000 from the California Department of Education as part of its LowPerforming Students

Block Grant, according to a staff report. The grant provides money for local education agencies serving students identified as lowperforming on the most recent state English language arts or mathematics assessments. The state identified 319 GIlroy students in grades 4-12 who meet the criteria for the funds. The total apportionment for the district is $630,352 to be spent over the next three years.

Strike a water balance

EDITORIAL

Slower high-speed rail?

t sounds crazy, but a presidential rant on Twitter may have forced Gov. Gavin Newsom to “clarify”—actually, backtrack—his position on California’s high-speed rail. “The project, as currently planned, would cost too much and take too long,” the governor said of the state’s high-speed rail plan in his State of the State address Feb. 12. He pledged to complete a Central Valley (Merced to Bakersfield) route and take a hard look at the rest of the route. “Right now,” he said, “there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to LA. I wish there were.” That sent some reporters and politicians scrambling to social media to write the train’s obituary. With the latest price tag approaching $80 billion, nearly double original estimates and more than eight times the $9 billion authorized by California voters in 2008, the governor’s statement seemed to make sense—until daily newspaper headlines and local officials, even President Donald Trump, assumed that Newsom’s comments meant that the project was dead. It turns out that initial reports of the death of High-Speed Rail were greatly exaggerated. There, in fact, was more in the speech. The governor then gave a politically ambiguous “on-the-other-hand’ remark, saying that, “Abandoning high-speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and lawsuits to show for it. And by the way, I am not interested in sending (back) $3.5 billion in federal funding that was allocated to this project.” The day after the State of State remarks, Trump called on California to return $3.5 billion in federal funds that had been provided for the high-speed rail system. He tweeted, “California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars. They owe the federal government 3½ billion dollars. We want that money back now. Whole project is a ‘green’ disaster!”

As is often the case, the President got it wrong, not unlike many California politicians. Newsom responded the next day with his own tweet: “Fake news. We’re building highspeed rail, connecting the Central Valley and beyond. This is California’s money, allocated by Congress for this project. We’re not giving it back. The train is leaving the station—better get on board! (Also, desperately searching for some wall $$??)” Newsom’s attempt at clarification has left most of the state wondering where we go from here. After the State of the State, a Newsom spokesperson Nathan Click gave assurances that his boss wanted to “refocus” and “reprioritize” funding, to enable the Central Valley plan to be completed. But he added his own on-the-other-hand comment, that “the state will continue undertaking the broader project—completing the bookend projects and finishing the environmental review for the SF to LA leg—that would allow the project to continue seeking other funding streams.” Proposition 1A in 2008 said the highspeed train would need to move at a speed of at least 200 mph and connect San Francisco to Los Angeles in 22/3⅔hours. Construction of the Fresno-to-Madera portion of the rail system began four years ago. The high-speed rail folks are trying to say there really has been no change of plan, saying the governor “reaffirmed our commitment to complete the environmental work statewide, to meet our ‘bookend’ investments in the Bay Area and Los Angeles and to pursue additional federal and private funding for future project expansion.” That didn’t help. These high-speed rail waters continue to be as muddy as a creek after a winter rain. A high-speed rail connection in Gilroy could be a lifesaver for the city’s downtown. It also could provide an important new commuter option for northbound workers in San Benito County. At this point, however, the “train to nowhere” label will linger as long as both the funding and the plans remain in limbo. More clarity, governor; more clarity, please.

Too often, entrenched conflicts that pit water user against water user block efforts to secure a sustainable, equitable and democratic water future in California. Striking a balance involves art and science, compassion and flexibility, and adherence to science and the law. Felicia Marcus is a public servant unknown to many Californians. But as she concludes her tenure as chair of the State Water Resources Control Board, we owe her a debt of gratitude for consistently reaching for that balance. In the face of a changing climate with more ferocious and unpredictable floods, droughts and fires, Californians need public leaders of Marcus’ caliber. Under her guidance, the state water board helped navigate California out of one of the worst droughts in our history, championed solutions to help fulfill the human right to safe water, developed laws and regulations to bring our groundwater basins into balance, and began to bring our water data systems into the 21st century. “There is no silver bullet to our water problems, only silver buckshot,” Marcus says. She understood and championed the need for a portfolio of solutions. She genuinely listened, didn’t shy away from tough decisions and maintained a fierce dedication to public safety, economic security and environmental health priorities of the state she loves. Her leadership will help her successors, E. Joaquin Esquivel and Laurel Firestone, who bring experience in community-based work to the board. At a time when one million Californians can’t drink the water out of their taps, extreme weather threatens the security of our precious water supplies, and freshwater ecosystems stand at the brink of collapse, we must identify and encourage leaders who prioritize community needs and aspirations. The water board’s work is complex. To keep California on a path toward success, the board should continue practices from Marcus’ tenure. The water board’s role is to carry out laws passed by Congress and the Legislature, oversee water rights and protect the public trust. That includes ensuring safe water and a healthy environment. Board members increasingly championed flexibility and creativity in how those laws are implemented, seeking winwin solutions when possible. But it cannot compromise its legal requirements and end goals and objectives. All of these tasks are easier said than done but are critical to mitigating and preventing the worst, whether it’s the collapse of iconic fish populations, toxic water in homes and schools, or the loss of our agricultural economy and heritage. We can govern with science and empathy, humor and grace. We can collaborate around creative solutions that make the biggest impact with the smallest cuts while keeping our eyes trained on tangible outcomes. In the Delta, that means restored habitat, clean water flows, greater certainty of supplies and resilience against droughts and more violent floods. In a New York Times interview a few years ago, Marcus said: “I see people, and the first thing they want to tell me, they want to do, is confess their water sins.” We’re lucky to have been in the same room as she listened actively to anyone about anything for as long as they needed to share. It’s not something to take for granted. Perhaps we all became water sin confessors in front of Marcus because she regularly reminded us that we all play a role in protecting our water resources. In our field, we often hear that where water flows, our lives and livelihoods thrive. Water public servants are what Californians need to keep us on a path dedicated to the public interest. We are grateful to Marcus for forging the path. Juliet Christian-Smith and Andrew Fahlund are senior program officers at the Water Foundation in Oakland and Sacramento. They wrote this commentary for CALmatters.

RAINS POSE CONTINUED RISK OF FLASH FLOODS NEAR COUNTY STREAMS Staff reports

As the rainy season continues, Valley Water— the new name for the Santa Clara Valley Water District—has taken precautions to prepare for possible storm impacts. “Residents should be aware that winter storms have the potential to cause creek flooding issues, especially on small channels that tend to rise quickly with intense rains,” the district said in a statement. “Unanticipated blockages in streams or storm drains may contribute to these risks.” Valley Water crews have been actively

checking hotspots and areas of concern and have mobilized heavy equipment to respond to reports of downed trees or large debris blockages in locations where the water district has property rights, such as along Uvas Creek in Gilroy. As of Feb. 12, Valley Water’s 10 reservoirs were at a combined 55 percent of their full capacity, according to the water district. Anderson Reservoir is currently at 37.6 percent capacity, leaving ample capacity to capture runoff from this week’s storm. Anderson Dam’s outlet has been open since Feb. 4 to reduce the chance of the reservoir reaching its dam seismic storage restriction of 58 percent capacity. “We are also monitoring streams for blockages at key bridges and culverts,” said Linda J. LeZotte, newly elected

chair of the Valley Water board of directors, in a statement. “We need the public’s help as our eyes and ears to alert us to obstructions in the creeks to help prevent flooding.” To report issues in creeks, residents can call 408-630-2378 or submit a service request to Access Valley Water. “Our crews have worked all year in collaboration with cities and partners to prepare our creeks for winter rains,” LeZotte said in the statement. “We are dedicated to keeping residents and businesses safe through our flood protection programs.” In preparation for this series of storms, all five of the district’s sandbag sites have been fully stocked. In addition, cities around the county operate an additional 19 sandbag sites.

ruling after full consideration of properly submitted pleadings.” WIth the filing Feb. 15, of the attorney general’s final response to Verity Health System’s pleadings, Klausner’s ruling could come any time after court is back in session Feb. 19, after the Feb. 18 federal holiday. Becerra is seeking a stay of the county’s $235 million purchase of the two failing hospitals, until the District Court hears his objection to a December decision in U.S. Bankruptcy Court approving the sale. Verity submitted its objections to Becerra’s request on Monday, Feb. 11. A stay of the Bankruptcy Court approval of the sale would cause the deal to collapse, forcing the hospitals to close, according to Verity Health and the county. The purchase agreement that had been approved by Bankruptcy Court Judge Ernest Robles expires Feb. 28. There were no other purchase offers. The case was transferred to Klausner’s courtroom on Feb. 11 by District Court Judge Dolly Gee, who had set the Feb. 22 hearing after rejecting Becerra’s request for an “emergency” review before the deal closed. Verity Health System sought Chapter 11 protection last fall in bankruptcy court. If Saint Louise Regional Hospital were to close, the 110,000 people in the communities of Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill would lose their local hospital, and more than 2,000 healthcare workers at the two hospitals would be out of work. The 93-bed Saint Louise hospital is in Gilroy. The 358-bed O’Connor Hospital is in San Jose. Becerra had initially sought the stay in bankruptcy court, but Robles rejected it Jan. 30. The attorney general’s attempts to block the sale of the hospitals ignited a firestorm of protest from the hospital’s patients, staff, community leaders and Santa Clara County politicians, with rallies and a social media campaign. Becerra contends that only oversight by his office can ensure that the hospitals provide comprehensive healthcare

Xavier Becerra services to Medicare, MediCal and other patients. Santa Clara County countered that it is legally required—and eager—to provide these services. In its Feb. 11 filing, Verity Health said a stay of the purchase “would terminate the county’s purchase of the hospitals, result in their closure, and would eviscerate healthcare access for some of the Santa Clara County’s neediest residents.” The hospital owners—supported by Santa Clara County and affirmed by the bankruptcy court judge—said the attorney general had no legal authority to get involved in the sale. The Feb. 15 filing, filed in Becerra’s behalf by Deputy Attorney General Alicia Berry, claimed the county had refused to provide a range of healthcare services. Further, she wrote, “State law allows the attorney general to enforce the health and safety protections within his conditions to the fullest extent provided by law.” Berry also wrote that the bankruptcy court had “abused its discretion by finding that state law did not apply to this sale transaction.” “The attorney general’s reply conveniently ignores most of the material that was submitted in opposition to his stay request,” said County Counsel James Williams in an email statement. He said the attorney general ignores the county’s assertion that a stay “would effectively kill the transaction and likely lead to the hospitals’ closure,” and that the fact that the county has committed to “comprehensive healthcare services.” “Willful ignorance doesn’t make that evidence disappear,” Williams wrote. “When the judge reviews the

actual record and the law, we certainly hope he reaches the same conclusion the bankruptcy court did and denies the stay.” The attorney general’s office said in its filing that it was only seeking to protect “vital” healthcare services, and repeated his assertion that predictions by the bankruptcy court, Verity Health and Santa Clara County that granting a stay would force the hospitals to close were “merely speculative.” “Rather than state that the sale is in danger of collapsing in a declaration under penalty of perjury, County Counsel James Williams attaches a letter to his declaration [that] constitutes hearsay,” Berry said in the filing. If the sale of the hospitals does close on March 1, nurses at the two hospitals would become county employees under the county’s contract with the Registered Nurses Professional Association (RNPA). The California Nurses Association, a rival union that represents nurses in a contract with Verity Health that was voided in bankruptcy court, said its members will strike unless the county opens immediate negotiations with the CNA. The nurses told supervisors they had a right to strike because of “unfair labor practices” committed by the county in transitioning nurses into new jobs as county employees. The court filings in the Verity Health case came the same day that Becerra was in the national spotlight, announcing that he would sue President Donald Trump to challenge the constitutionality of Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency along the U.S./ Mexico border. Klausner was in the national spotlight two years ago when he presided over a trial in which jurors cleared the rock group Led Zeppelin of plagiarizing the melody for its iconic “Stairway to Heaven.” Klausner was in the news again last year, when a U.S. Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco ordered a new trial in the case, ruling that Klausner had made several errors in his instructions to the Led Zeppelin jury.

Sharwian Bobian, who is accused of raping a San Martin woman earlier this year when she brought groceries and other supplies to his homeless encampment, did not appear in court for his Feb. 14 hearing. Bobian, 43, remains in

Bobian was in the courthouse but was unable to appear for his hearing. It was unclear why Bobian did not enter the courtroom. Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Duong said Bobian was to appear at the Feb. 21 hearing. The judge also ordered a restraining order against Bobian, prohibiting him from being within 300 yards of his accuser for at least one year. Duong ordered a Santa Clara County Sheriff ’s deputy to serve Bobian with the protective order immediately after the Feb. 14 hearing.

E C N A R A E L C O N A PI

Bobian was initially arrested by sheriff’s deputies the night of Jan. 2, when the victim reported the alleged assault to authorities. However, he was released less than two days later as Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s office declined to press charges. On Feb. 5, the DA reversed course and filed a rape charge against Bobian in relation to the Jan. 2 incident in San Martin. San Jose Police found and arrested him Feb. 8 in the area of U.S. 101 and Yerba Buena Road.

WRESTLING

Robert Eliason

Title Town

CHAMPIONS GALORE Gilroy High senior Noah Castro gets his arm raised in triumph after he won the 132-pound weight class in last Saturday’s CCS Championships. Gilroy established CCS records for most finalists (12) and points (377), breaking the mark of 373.5 points they set a year ago.

GILROY’S WRESTLING PROGRAM AS GREAT AS EVER emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

The Gilroy High wrestling dynasty shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. In fact, it seems like the Mustangs are inching up to a higher level. A year after a record-breaking performance in the Central Coast Section Championships, the Mustangs found a way to add further accolades to one of the section’s all-time great runs covering all sports. Gilroy had a record-breaking 12 finalists—including nine individual champions—while amassing a meet record 377 points Saturday at Independence High to win an unprecedented 17th consecutive section title. A year ago, Gilroy won 10 of the 14 weight divisions with a thenrecord 373.5 points. This season, the Mustangs had one less individual winner but two more finalists and finished with a record 47 pins. The fleet of Gilroy title winners included Victor Jacinto at 126 pounds, Noah Castro at 132, Chase Saldate at 138, John Fox at 145, Daniel Vizcarra at 152, Nathan Villarreal at 160, Joe Barnes at 170, Ryan Reyes at 195, and Nick Villarreal at heavyweight. Gilroy also had an individual champion on the girls side, as Kelly Nebesnick won the crown at 150 pounds. The aforementioned group—along with runner-ups Donte Lopez, Dallas Gutierrez, Dezi Johnsen and Aphrodite Ayala and fourth-place finisher Divina Perez—advance to the two-day state tournament beginning on Friday at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. “We all had a goal of breaking previous records and setting new ones to give a good example for kids looking up at us and who will be the next generation of Gilroy wrestlers,” said Joe Barnes, who validated himself as one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the program’s illustrious history by winning a fourth CCS title. “Basically, we were just

doing what we were taught and been doing our whole lives.” Barnes, who won the 170pound title, has plenty to be proud of considering he started the season slow due to injuries he incurred from football season. However, once Barnes’ body started to recover, he was able to go full bore into the team’s intense workouts and get in the superior wrestling shape the Gilroy wrestlers are known for. Barnes never ran into any trouble in the tournament, amassing five pins over five matches, putting an exclamation point on a fourth section championship. “It was huge, a big moment for me,” he said. “I’ve come a long way in this journey, and I’m just glad I was able to accomplish my goals. It felt like a dream come true. As a kid I looked up to older kids who were winning the finals and wanted to be like that and follow in their footsteps.” Nathan Villarreal followed in some footsteps as well, while also making a trail of his own. His older brother, Nico, was also a four-time CCS champ and is now a senior wrestling at Arizona State. Nathan captured his second consecutive CCS title in dominating fashion, winning all five of his matches via pinfall. “I was really excited because I didn’t think I would be able to pin all of them,” said Villarreal, who utilized his superior quickness, agility and technique to bury his opponents. “I felt like our coaches put us in the right mindset to do big things. They were motivating us every single day and training us like professional athletes, which really took us to the next level.” Villarreal has been wrestling since he was 3 years old, and chalked up his development to Nico. The two grappled plenty of times growing up, with Nathan admitting the two had some rough fights along the way. However, the two are close and Nathan said he would’ve never gotten to this point had it not been for Nico’s influence. “He’s brought me to where I am, forced me to do things I didn’t want to do and is the reason why I’m wrestling,” Nathan said. Vizcarra was involved in the match of the night, a thrilling contest that had the crowd out of their seats near the end. Trailing 7-1 to Evergreen Valley’s Marcos

FOX TRAPS FOES Gilroy High senior John Fox dominates his Palma opponent in the 145-pound title match in last Saturday’s Central Coast Section Championships. Fox won the championship match by a 8-1 decision. Jimenez, the Gilroy High senior unleashed a furious comeback to pull out a 10-9 win. It was one of the largest comebacks in CCS Championship history in recent memory, and what made the feat even more impressive was the fact Vizcarra nearly got pinned in the opening 15 seconds of the match. Vizcarra got caught and was squarely on his back, trying desperately to get one of his shoulders off the mat. In that moment, Vizcarra used all of his experience to escape the proverbial jaws of defeat and eventually prevail. In a nail-biting, seesaw match, Vizcarra nearly produced a pin later in the match and scored points to get within striking distance. With time bleeding away, Vizcarra unleashed a huge series of moves late in the third period, including a duck under takedown that gave him a 10-9 lead in the waning seconds. Jimenez then looked to pull off an escape at the buzzer, which would’ve forced overtime. However, the two referees conversed for a couple of minutes and decided Jimenez either did not get the escape or get it off in time, finalizing the outcome. In that moment, Vizcarra let all of his emotions out, tugging on his jersey, pointing to the crowd and strutting around the mat befitting of a champion. “(When I was down 7-1) I

was just thinking to myself to let this first period go and battle away,” he said. “I had to think about all of the training I had ever done up to this point and to dig down in a deeper place and let it go. I hit him with something I’ve been working on and was trying to set up the whole match. The worst-case scenario (at the end) was it would’ve been an escape and we would’ve went to overtime. But at that point I was ready to take the match. The whole match I still felt like I was going to win.” Vizcarra also displayed tremendous mental toughness and poise a week earlier when he defeated Salinas’ Alfredo Mendoza for the Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division title. The match could’ve gone either way, and yet Vizcarra came through in a white-knuckle affair, a testament to his ability to grind when things get tough. That match served Vizcarra well against the talented Jimenez. “At first I panicked a little bit (down 7-1),” Vizcarra said. “Then I looked at my corner and heard the coaches say, ‘Just relax.’ And that’s when I realized it was time to go, dig deep and get this match. I’ve been reading a lot lately on how the body is just as strong as the mind, but you have to push. It’s about callusing your mind to get better and knowing when it hurts I have a reason

why I’m here, and that’s to win a state title. In the tight moments in the big matches, I can count on my mind to be right there with me.” Jacinto also proved to be mentally tough, grinding away for a tough 3-0 win over Palo Alto’s Andrew Wang. Neither wrestler could do much to score points, but Jacinto scored all of the points he would need when he recorded a takedown after holding one of Wang’s legs for a good 25 seconds before he was finally able to bring Wang down to the mat. “I feel excited and tired,” said Jacinto, a sophomore standout. “He kind of knew what I was going to do from the top, so I really couldn’t do anything (to score points). I held him down and kept him down the whole match.” Castro, a senior, also had a dominating run, recording three pins, a technical fall victory and a 6-0 decision in the semifinals. Saldate and Reyes crushed their respective competition, with Saldate recording pins at the 46-second mark, 2:55, 1:18, 2:00 and 1:37, and Reyes producing pins at 36 seconds, 1:22, 1:14, 3:26 and 1:50. Fox, as he typically does, wins the battle of attrition in the later rounds. Saturday was no different, as he recorded a 5-1 decision in the semifinals and 8-1 points victory in the title match.

outweighed by the public's interest in protecting privacy rights under Government Code section 6255; and WHEREAS, the AG Position further determined that it will not disclose any records that pre-date January 1, 2019 at this time; and WHEREAS, in November 2008 the City Council adopted the Open Government Ordinance (OGO) codified in Gilroy City Code Chapter 17A; and WHEREAS, the OGO Sections 17A.24 (6) and (8), as adopted, currently prohibit reliance on Government Code section 6255; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to adhere to the AG's position and not disclose the City's peace officer personnel records until the legal question of retroactive application of the statute is resolved by the courts; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Emergency Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA," Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq.), because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and it does not have the potential to result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations "CEQA Guidelines," sections 15060(c)(2) and (3)). NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I Chapter 17A, of the Gilroy City Code entitled the Gilroy Open Government Ordinance is hereby amended by repealing Sections 17A.24 (6) and (8) in their entirety. Except as provided herein, no other amendments, deletions or additions are made to the Chapter 17A. SECTION II This Emergency Ordinance, pursuant to Gilroy City Charter, Article VI, Section 602, is hereby declared by the City Council to be necessary as an emergency measure and shall take effect immediately and be in full force and effect after its approval and adoption based on the following: The City Council finds that the uncertainty of the application of SB 1421 presents an imminent threat to the confidentiality of its peace officers personnel records and that until the legal question of retroactive application of the statute is resolved by the courts, the public interest in accessing these records is clearly outweighed by the public's interest in protecting privacy rights. The City Council finds that there are several SB 1421 requests for peace officer personnel records pending with the City that require a response by City in the immediate future, which will be prior to the legal question of retroactive application of the statute is resolved by the courts. The City Council finds that the City's exposure to litigation by disclosing peace officers' personnel records that a court may later determine to be unwarranted is also clearly outweighed by the public's interest in protecting privacy rights. The City Council finds that this amendment is necessary to provide the City the ability to solely rely on Government Code section 6255 to withhold local agency peace officer personnel records until the legal question of retroactive application of the statute is resolved by the courts. The City Council finds that in order to accomplish these goals, the Gilroy City Code Chapter 17A, Section 17A.24 (6) and (8) must be deleted by means of this Emergency Ordinance. SECTION III If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Interim Urgency Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Gilroy hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases may

be declared invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION IV This Emergency Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Gilroy City Charter, Section 602. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Emergency Ordinance and cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law, and it shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY this 11th day of February 2019, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: BLANKLEY, BRACCO, MARQUES, LEROEMUOZ, TUCKER and VELASCO; ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS:TOVAR /s/SHAWNA FREELS, MMC City Clerk of the City of Gilroy Published:February 22, 2019 Posted:February 12, 2019 (PUB GD 2/22)
