“I don’t mind listening to folks criticize. I think it helps me do my job better,” he said. Westrick’s embrace of new modes of communication is not a surprise considering his background. Hollister’s top cop was a journalist and sports writer before he joined the police academy. Westrick also runs his own blog and earlier this year gave a talk on the concept of serving and loving mankind from a police chief ’s point-ofview at Salinas TEDx.
“It takes an incredible amount of love for me to do my job,” Westrick said during the February conference. “For police officers it’s an act of love everyday they put their uniform on.” The San Benito County Sheriff ’s office communicates important messages through the free, online Nixle service. “Though we are not opposed to a presence on social media, we simply do not have the staffing or resources to ‘do it right’ ➝ Coffee Cop, 4

Hollister eye doctor, Dr. Robert M. Theaker has been named Western States Optometrist of the Year by The Great Western Council of Optometry. Recognized as the 2016 California Optometrist of the Year by the California Optometric Association in February, Dr. Theaker has been a practicing optometrist since 1991 and currently serves patients at the Hollister Vision Center. Theaker’s leadership resulted in a landmark California law that expanded optometrists’ role in treating glaucoma and in expanded access to eye care for members of the public through the Affordable Care Act. Dr. Theaker has also volunteered with Flying Doctors and traveled to Mexico to provide vision and eye health care to needy children in that country. Outside of his optometry practice, Dr. Theaker is a longtime, active member of the Monterey Peninsula Sunrise Rotary Club. “It's been a pleasure to help my profession thrive. I really care about helping my patients see better and making sure they have good eye health and vision,” he said.

A proposed public aquatic center in Hollister will not proceed as planned because the proposed site at San Benito High School is in an earthquake zone. “Unfortunately since late last week, the geologic report came back and the no-build zone for the earthquake fault that runs through campus was doubled in size,” said Jud Shutts, chief operations officer for Hollister for Aquatics, a local nonprofit that would have operated the center. The revelation came at last Thursday’s intergovernmental committee meeting. Shutts told officials from Hollister, San Juan Bautista and San Benito County that results from the latest report left “absolutely no room” for the group’s plans to build a recreation facility next to the high school’s new 50-meter and 25-yard pools. The discovery meant the end of an aquatic center, but the two new high school pools will go ahead as planned. The aquatic center site is in an area affected by the Calaveras Fault that runs through town and San Benito High School. San Benito High School Superintendent Shawn Tennenbaum said the geotech report, which needs to be completed whenever new construction is proposed for the campus, found a new fault fracture. “Looking at the different fault lines, we actually found a new fracture on the south part of our campus,” he said. The original aquatic center proposal included a lazy river, wave generator, splash pad and water slide. This was reduced in size when the proposal couldn’t get adequate financial commitment from local governments. Hollister for Aquatics said it had also looked into private donations.

Bryan Stow speaks to Hollister students ASSAULT VICTIM GIVES ANTI-BULLYING TALK Jenny Arbizu Contributor
#
Jenny Arbizu
The band Survivor may have performed the 80s hit, “Eye of the Tiger,” but as the uplifting song played in the gymnasium of Sacred Heart Parish School on Friday morning, there was only one survivor that guests eagerly awaited. Bryan Stow spent nine months in a coma after being assaulted in Los Angeles by two men after a Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants game in March 2011. The assault required Stow to undergo extensive speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. He went the distance, but now he’s literally back on his feet. As Stow proudly walked on his crutches into Sacred Heart’s gym, he was met with a standing ovation from Sacred Heart’s staff, students, parents and the Hollister Fire Department. “It was very emotional just to see how much he's gone through,” said parent Margarita Manzo. “And now he’s able to walk.” With assistance from his speech language pathologist, Brandy Dickinson, Stow spoke to 77 junior high students about the effects of bullying. He held a separate assembly for the transitional kindergarten through fourth grades. The anti-bullying assemblies were presented by the Bryan Stow Foundation, which visits schools and community organizations. “My foundation was created to stop bullies, to help people lead kinder lives, put an end to fan violence,” he told the crowd. “You should be able to cheer for
your team, even out in the field. No one needs to get hurt.” He presented a slideshow that began with a glimpse of his life prior to his tragic 2011 assault; pictures of him from the 1990s, photos of him with his children and even a Hollister skydive he took with his sisters. “Fortunately, we survived,” he said of the skydive, jokingly. Then to a giggling crowd he responded, “Thanks for laughing.” The mood soon became somber after Stow showed a picture of himself at the hospital the night of March 31, 2011. “By far the worst night of my life,” he recalled. “I was down in Los Angeles and went to a Giants/Dodgers game to hopefully watch the Giants beat the Dodgers. The Giants lost and I almost lost my life in the parking lot.” Stow made sure the students understood the severity of bullying. “I was jumped by two adult bullies and they gave me a severe brain injury,” he said. He then listed the medications that he takes on a daily basis, saying that he has gone from taking 24 and a half pills down to taking 13 and a half. He said his daily medication is necessary to keep his body functioning and to minimize his chances of having a seizure. “I had one last year that was not good,” he said. Stow also showed the progression of his recovery. He showed a series of pictures, first of him being in a wheelchair, only able to exercise his limbs, to eventually a picture of himself on crutches. “I had just finished my portion of a Mile Walk, Traumatic Brain Injury Patients of San Jose. I didn’t walk the whole

Stow is now an anti-bullying campaigner and shares his story at events like the one at Sacred Heart Parish School in Hollister last week. mile, but that's me finishing it on my own.” He then showed a picture of himself walking on a cane. “I’m still unsteady but I’m getting better,” he said, and showed off his new skills by walking on the cane with assistance from his father, Dave Stow. Stow spoke of his life now, post-injury, and how he’s able to live a full life. For instance, the San Francisco Giants have asked him three years in a row to throw out the first pitch on their opening day. “And I did it,” he proudly said. Stow also swims every day, bicycles, and rows. And he recently completed a quartermile swim challenge at Cabrillo College swimming pool. One wouldn’t know of his
traumatic brain injury by listening to him speak, either. His comedic quips often lightened the mood in the emotionally heavy gym. For instance, after showing the room a picture of him with a feeding tube and saying how he gained even more weight back after learning to eat again, some in the crowd began to laugh. He turned at those laughing and quipped, “That wasn’t funny.” But he never steered away from his love for the team. When looking at several pictures of his recovery, he’d ask the students what shirt he was wearing. “Yes, World Series Champions, Giants!” The effect that Stow’s presentation had on his guests was
evident. While some older students were wiping away tears, parents and teachers wiped away tears, too. “It hits home,” said teacher, Christopher Salazar, of Stow’s presentation. “I got emotional at times and had to try to compose myself, take a couple of deep breaths,” he said. “It filled our hearts with compassion and love, and we’re very, very blessed to have had this experience at our school,” said parent, Adriana Ferry. Toward the end of the assembly, Stow asked the students to stand and recite his anti-bullying pledge: “Don’t be a bystander, Be an upstander, Speak up, Reach out, and Lead by Example.” The students did this, proudly.

page or on the Hollister Police Department page, ask a question or voice a concern,” Westrick said. Though crime tips traditionally come through the WeTip hotline or the general office number, the police department received a tip on social media right after a homicide. “We had one years ago for a homicide that came within about three minutes after the homicide,” Westrick said. “It was the suspect’s name, the location, where the guy ran to, all that stuff. More often than not, though, we ask folks to use WeTip or just the phone number.”
Aquatic Center, 1 “The aquatic center and its overall design integrity is still intact,” Tennenbaum said. “The unfortunate part right now is the land allocated for that is in a nobuild zone.” The public will be able to use the two new high school pools outside of school hours. “The current plan is for some nonprofit, Hollister for Aquatics or some other nonprofit, to run the public side of the
pool during non-school hours,” Shutts said. “During the summer the pool would be available to the general public. There would be an admission fee. We’d provide hopefully some training and aerobics classes.” As the intergovernmental committee discussed other ways to make the aquatic center happen, Hollister Councilmember Karson Klauer reminded everyone to consider scale.
The Hollister Police Department isn’t alone in its use of social media. Law enforcement agencies and municipalities across the country are taking to social media to inform constituents of important information. The City of Hollister also maintains a Facebook page. “I think you’ll see in the next five years that this will be the norm,” Westrick said. “This will be another avenue for communication. If you have the ability to listen to folk’s problems over whatever media, I think it’s a real benefit.”
“The location that’s been discussed was to me the best location you’d find anywhere in the county because you’d get to use a lot of the equipment the school district was already putting in,” Klauer said. “So when you start looking at other sites, I think the dollar signs only go up. There’s only more zeroes on top of it. We never actually got around to figuring out how we were going to pay for the minimized version of that plan.”
Levee on private land Levee Repairs, 1 county from liability and litigation from future flood damage. County counsel Barbara Thompson explained Tuesday that only one agreement came back signed. “Most of the landowners have opposed the agreement,” Thompson explained. “They don’t share the county’s assessment that it’s the landowner’s responsibility to repair the levees and they have objections to the indemnification and other provisions of the requirement.” It’s estimated it could cost the county $10,000 to $15,000 annually to maintain the levee, something that was previously undertaken by the currently inactive Pacheco Stormwater District. Tuesday’s vote also directed staff to explore asking the San Benito County Water District or Santa Clara County Water District to take over the waterway in the future. If that’s not successful, the county would reactivate the Pacheco Stormwater District.
On Jan. 12, county inspection teams discovered a 104-foot long breach in the Pacheco Creek levee on Dara Farms’ property. Another significant, 80-foot breach occurred elsewhere in the levee system during a subsequent storm. “I’d like to respond to continually being told it’s the landowner’s responsibility because the levee is on their property,” said Mahassa Altafi of Dara Farms. “There was an easement back in the 40s for the Pacheco Stormwater District to construct the levees. This makes it the reasonable assumption that the levees are public works and it is clear they benefit public property due to the flooding of the public roads.” Altafi explained that while she was working with county counsel to come to an agreement, she didn’t sign the agreement because she felt it was too broad. “You guys are our leaders and this is a public issue as much as you keep saying it’s private. If it floods again, it’s going to affect the public,” she said. Board chairman Jaime

De La Cruz said he felt the county was about to open a can of worms. “All those things out there are private will now become public and guess who’s going to pick up for everything? San Benito County taxpayers,” De La Cruz said before the vote. Resource Management Agency Director John Guertin explained during the town hall what the county could do to mitigate the situation. “We can do work that’s directly related to the break in the levee, we can fix the break in the levee and we can do some clearing of some of the wood that has built up in that area,” he said. “It does not gives us the ability to do work in the entire creek. I know that’s what we need to do, but that’s going to require going through the permit process with [California Department of Fish and Wildlife].” Guertin said fines could be up to $10,000 a day if the county were to go in and clean out the creek without proper permits.

Coffee Cup, 1 at this time,” said Operations Captain Eric Taylor. “Since we are not in a position to adequately monitor and interact with the social media community, we have opted to stay with Nixle until we can ‘do it right.’” Westrick’s use of social media extends throughout the Hollister Police Department, which uses social media to send out press releases and safety updates around the holidays or when school is back in session. “Social media allows folks 24/7 to be able to comment either on my

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
The sun is shining and the outdoors are calling. How are folks in San Benito County spending their weekends and long days during this stretch of gorgeous weather?
Roseann Hernandez Cattani
Bill Mifsud Tasting wine along Cienega road. We have beautiful wineries in our county including Calera Wine Company and DeRose Vineyards. Taking house tours of our subdivisions in Hollister. Keith Snow Barbecues in my backyard are nice. I can overlook the mountains and watch the sunset. Beautiful view. I also like taking nice country drives. Tara Hernandez Spending long afternoons watching the kids play competitive soccer in Hollister and at away games. Taking long drives in the rural parts of the county and going to the movies. Ruth Erickson Enjoy all this county has to offer: our bucolic scenery and pleasant weather, wine trail, the Pinnacles National Park,
and our three state parks—Hollister Hills, Fremont Peak and San Juan Bautista historic park. There is always an event going on in the county—the Olive Festival on Saturday sounds like an interesting and special event to attend. Mary Zanger I relish the fresh air and sunshine in the great outdoors. Joining my group, "Adopt a Highway" and volunteering to keep the highway beautiful for two causes: the environment, because plastic drink bottles flow to the Pacific Ocean via the Pacheco Creek and for the peace movement. Our group, Hollister Peace Vigil, always needs volunteers who enjoy healthy exercise for important causes. Find me in the phone book.
The Question of the Week was sent in an email and posted on the Hollister Free Lance Facebook page on Monday, October 9. Thank you to everyone who contributed comments.

t has been interesting to follow recent political discussions surrounding President Trump’s use of Twitter. Over the last week, the President has used the social media platform to call out the Mayor of Puerto Rico over her criticism of the federal government’s response to Hurricane Maria, and then most spectacularly to fling personal insults at North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, calling him “Little Rocket Man.” Whatever political side you take, the President’s use of Twitter is remarkable, and to many disconcerting. According to a poll taken this summer by ABC News and the Washington Post, 68 percent of Americans find President Trump’s use of Twitter “inappropriate” while 58 percent call it “dangerous.” Only 21 percent called the President’s tweets “refreshing.” The ability to convey thoughts and feelings to the public at large in an instant can be exhilarating. However, as social media platforms have developed and become entrenched in our society, rules governing its use have cropped up as well, especially in the business world. Media companies, such as our’s, have rules of conduct when it comes to social media. Before I post anything on the Free Lance Facebook page I have to determine how that post may reflect on the newspaper and whether it sufficiently conveys our correct intentions. There is a running list of major companies, including McDonald’s, Kmart, Burger King, IHOP and Gap, that have experienced well-publicized social media mistakes. Whether it was retweeting a negative tweet, coopting a natural disaster to publicise a sale or posting an overly political tweet that turned-off customers, companies have used these mistakes to create social media best practices. About 12 years ago I worked as a moderator for a community website where people could post questions and get answers from other registered users. There was also a popular “chat room.” At that time, users would flag inappropriate posts or those which contravened our site rules. I would then look them over and delete them if necessary. A user would get banned from the website if they continued to flout the rules or attempted to create a hostile online community. This was before the term “troll” came to describe such nefarious actors. Some may have complained that by banning these “trolls” I was infringing on their right to free speech. This actually occurred in the United Kingdom, so there is no First Amendment or constitutional right to free speech, but I believe the bigger point is this: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are all companies that have their own rules of conduct. It is up to them to determine what is distributed on their platform. The First Amendment guarantees a U.S. citizen’s right to free speech, not the right to post incendiary comments on Twitter. Some political commentators say the President’s Twitter use is divisive and potentially dangerous when it comes to foreign policy. Isn’t it time then for Congress, just like companies throughout the country, to draft its own social media policy?

eorgene passed away peacefully on the afternoon of September 29, 2017 at the age of 72. She was surrounded by her family in the home which she built with her husband David.
David and Georgene met at Cal Poly University and were married in January 1967 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Mountain View, CA, where Georgene had grown up as a young girl. Georgene was proud to have graduated from Cal Poly with a BA in Business-Industrial Relations, following in the footsteps of her beloved father who served as a union worker/foreman in San Francisco for over forty years. While Georgene was an extremely private person, she was well liked and loved in the community of Gilroy, California where she and her husband David built and owned a thriving small business, Abbott’s Pro Power for more than thirtyfive years. That business is still thriving today through the work of her husband David and son David Jr. Georgene believed in being kind to others, accepting all faiths, religions, and nationalities, and to giving back to the community in which she lived. She was an extremely spiritual woman who lived every day praying to God for the blessings he had bestowed upon her. She loved being a business owner, a wife, a mother, playing with her dogs and her grandchildren, gardening, and listening to music, especially country music. Her life brought so much joy to those around her, who knew her as an extremely strong and passionate woman who was patriotic, proud, and virtuous. Preceded in death by her father George Rettig, mother Catherine Stahor, her brothers George Rettig Jr., and Eugene Rettig. She is survived be her daughter Renee Abbott Blocker, her husband Lewis, their children Michaela, Emily, and Nathan, by her son David Jr., his wife Nicole, and her grandchildren Bode and Sydney, her nephew Russell Rettig , his wife Sharon, nephew Randy Rettig and partner Charles Wayne Wood.

L
ouie Godinez was born in Los Angeles,CA on August 21, 1946 to the parents of Francisco Godinez and Hermelinda Moreno.
He is survived by his siblings: Eva Lopez, Gloria Guerra, Frank Godinez, Yolanda Sosa and Jess Moreno. His children include Margie Godinez, Louie Godinez Jr, Raquel Godinez, and Christina Godinez Corona. Also, his grandchildren Jacob, Jordan, Jarret Dexter and Avery Garcia. His loving wife Margie Godinez, soul mate and best friend for 46 years remains. Louie was a teacher and a coach for the Gilroy School system from 1971-2008. He always enjoyed the company of his family and friends. His past times included participating in sports activities, listening to music, traveling, rock collecting, bird watching, and hiking.
lake Robert Birnie, 22, was reunited with his twin brother, Bryan, in heaven on October 7, 2017. Blake was born on September 8, 1995 in Santa Clara, the son of Greg and Cynthia Birnie. He graduated from Christopher High School in 2014. At the time of his death, Blake was working towards achieving his associate degree at Gavilan College. He was studying business agriculture in an effort to understand the flora that surrounded him and harness it to fulfill his entrepreneurial ambitions. Blake found release in art and music.

Blake is survived by his parents; siblings Christopher, Nicholas and Nicole Birnie; grandparents Sterling and Anna Chalk; aunts and uncles Debbie Chalk, John Chalk, Ben Chalk, Mohana and Kimberly (Birnie) Dissanayake, David and Marcy Birnie; niece Trinity; 14 cousins and his life affirming and ever present circle of friends.

Selling the county to visitors CHAMBER GIVES UPDATE ON TOURISM EFFORTS Nicholas Preciado Reporter
San Benito County Chamber of Commerce President Juli Vieira gave an update on tourism efforts at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. County supervisors allocated $18,000 to the chamber in their 2016-2017 budget. Tourism efforts included printing guides and pamphlets, filming commercials, building an online presence and magazine advertising. The business lobby group printed 10,000 visitors guides and placed them in over 200 hotels and businesses in Santa Clara County. The guides were also placed in places like the San Jose Airport, Monterey Airport, Oakland
Airport, Casa de Fruta and Pinnacles National Park. “We have less than 1,000 left,” Vieira said. “We hope to print between 12,000 and 15,000 this next year.” The group worked with Dunbar Productions, a Santa Cruzbased video production company, to film two commercials highlighting county restaurants and places of interest. Vieira said the two videos have been on YouTube since June and have reached 283 views. The videos performed significantly better on Facebook with more than 19,000 views and 390 shares. “The two videos produced by Dunbar Productions are also available on-demand with 1.2 million households in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas,” Vieira said. “It’s a one-year contract that
will continue to show from June to June.” Vieira played the two videos for county supervisors, as well as a third video available on 110 public access channels across the United States. Additionally, the chamber worked with Big Blend Online Radio for radio spots and advertised the county on nationalparktraveller.com. A total of 44 different pages representing San Benito County received over 8.7 million views over the last year. Vieira ended her presentation by highlighting a short-list of completed public relations projects. “We were published in Sunset International Magazine in 12 different countries. We also did a co-op with Canada Traveller and we did target certain areas of Canada,” she said.
Tentative agreement reached WORKERS LOOKING FOR MORE WAGES, BETTER HEALTH CARE TERMS Nicholas Preciado Reporter
Katie Small
The union representing hundreds of San Benito County employees and the county have reached a tentative agreement on wages and health care. According to county officials, the county has reached tentative agreements with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 521 which represents 270 county workers. “We reached an agreement with the county, which has been ratified by
our members,” said Suzy Caston, child support specialist and president of the SEIU Local 521 chapter for San Benito County. SEIU workers were looking for wage increases and county health care contributions to offset increasing costs and continued holiday office closures established over the last few years. They’ve rallied county board meetings numerous times since negotiations began on July 11. “While we still have a long journey ahead of us in addressing employee retention and recovery, this is a good step forward,” Caston said. “Our SEIU 521 members made clear that the work we do for
LABOR RALLY County workers have rallied outside San
Benito County Board of Supervisor meetings in Hollister during labor negotiations, which started in July.
our community matters, and after months of united efforts, the County Board of Supervisors heard us and worked with us towards reaching a contract that shows value towards the
services we provide.” All ratified contracts will be placed on the board’s regular meeting agenda some time in October for consideration and action.

Red sticker season starts at Hollister Hills OFF-ROAD RIDERS, VENDORS MARK OPENING WEEKEND Roseann Hernandez Cattani Editor
Dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles kicked up dust at last week’s red sticker weekend, the annual start of the season for certain off-highway vehicles at Hollister Hills. “Red stickers refer to competition and two-stroke off-highway vehicles manufactured in 2003 or later that do not meet the emission standards established by the California Air Resources Board,” explained Sam Hamilton, an office technician at Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation Area.
Park elevations range from 660 to 2,425 feet in the Gabilan Mountains. In the lower 3,300-acre area, open for motorcycle and A.T.V. use, there are 128 miles of trails and several hill climbs, all of which are maintained by a topnotch resource crew. The crew is also responsible for habitat restoration. “We have maintenance staff out every day working on special projects, cleaning out the bathrooms,” said Hamilton. To keep riders safe in case of a fall or other incident, there is a volunteer patrol run by the Hollister Hills Off-Road Association, which also puts on special events and helps raise money for the park.
Don’t Just Aid Your Hearing.
Roseann Hernandez Cattani
Red sticker season is from October 1 to May 31. The season kicked off on Saturday with an annual celebration that brought out hundreds of riders and brands such as Bell, Fox Racing and Motion Pro. Hosted by Faultline Powersports for the last 10 years, the main event was an afternoon raffle ticket giveaway where lucky riders walked away with a selection of motorcycle gear and other merchandise, such as t-shirts and caps. The state park is a destination for off-road vehicle enthusiasts and campers with five campsites in the lower section and two in the upper area, which is used for 4-wheel drive recreation.
RIDE ON Hundreds of dirt bike and A.T.V. riders attended a special event on Saturday to kick-off red sticker season at Hollister Hills. Park rangers are also on regular patrol throughout the site in case of medical emergencies
and to ensure riders have all the correct registrations and safety gear.

Police score grant for traffic enforcement LOCAL DEPARTMENT TO GET $70,000 Staff Report
The California Office of Traffic Safety has awarded $70,000 to the Hollister Police Department for a year-long program of special enforcements and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries.
The grant will fund educational presentations, DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, motorcycle safety enforcement, distracted driving enforcement, speed enforcement, red light and stop sign enforcement. “Unsafe behaviors account for 94 percent of traffic crashes,” Office of Traffic Safety Director Rhonda Craft said. “This grant emphasizes the two most
effective ways to change behaviors— education and enforcement. Hollister Police Department, with assistance from the Office of Traffic Safety, will use these tools to help keep Hollister’s streets safe.” The police department will use the funding as part of the City of Hollister’s aim to keep roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both
enforcement and education. While alcohol remains the primary cause of DUI crashes, the Hollister Police Department supports new efforts that aim to drive awareness that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription medications and cannabis can also be impairing by themselves, or in combination with alcohol, which can result in a DUI arrest.
We Stock Domestic & Foreign Parts for Automobiles, Trucks & Most Farm Equipment
After falling to a 10-year low in 2010, the number of persons killed on roadways has climbed nearly 17 percent across California, with 3,429 fatalities in 2015. Pedestrian and bicycle fatalities now comprise nearly 25 percent of all traffic deaths. The grant will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as speeding and crashes at intersections.

ON THE MOVE Despite a loss to Notre Dame-Salinas Tuesday, the San Benito High field hockey team enters Thursday’s league match against Monterey with a 4-1-1 mark. The Balers have enjoyed another solid season.
FIELD HOCKEY
Sticking together SAN BENITO HIGH LOOKS TO MAKE A MOVE TO THE TOP emanuel lee Sports Editor
Before the season started, the San Benito High field hockey team had a goal to contend for a Monterey Bay League championship. With just four league matches remaining, the Haybalers (4-1-1 in league) will probably have to win out to knock off perennial league power Gilroy from its perch. “We’re trying to get into that No. 1 spot, along with Christopher and North Salinas,” Balers coach Molly Macierz said. “We’re thinking, ‘OK, it’s our time.’” Ever since San Benito started a field hockey program three years ago, it has been tough defensively but somewhat lacking offensively. This season the Balers are scoring at a slightly higher rate, but they’ve still struggled to put the
ball in the goal against some of the stronger teams in the league. However, San Benito is playing at an even high level defensively, which has been the key factor to the team’s success. Despite having trouble clearing the ball out of their zone in a 1-1 draw with North Salinas last Friday, the Balers have been rock-solid on the defensive end, starting with defenders Mia Martinez, Karina Collins and Dennys Lopez, who played the entire game and earned a promotion to the varsity squad a month ago. “Dennys was probably our standout defensive player (against North Salinas),” Macierz said. “She’s made a huge impact with us and fits right in. She’s made some amazing plays.” Collins, who also plays in the midfield, is a versatile talent who moves the ball around well while playing strong defense. Martinez is always around the ball and often quells an opposing team’s
attacks. Of course, no defense is secure without strong goalies, and the Balers have two in Yasmin Gonzalez and Katalina Santiago. Gonzalez played the first half against North Salinas, and Santiago played the second half and overtime period. “They both made some great saves,” Macierz said. “They work together well, and we rely on them to keep the score down.” Gonzalez and Santiago did just that; in particular, Santiago made a couple of point-blank saves in the second half and OT session to preserve the tie. Macierz was impressed with everyone she put into the North Salinas game, including forwards Railyn King, Kyla Mead and Olivia Gonzalez. “All three of them have been scoring for us,” Macierz said. Speaking of scoring, it was midfielder Katelyn Tedesco who scored the Balers’ lone goal with 14 minutes, 10 seconds remaining
in the second half. Tedesco was sprinting down the center of the field toward the North Salinas goal when King delivered a perfect pass from the right wing. Tedesco, who also plays forward, one-timed the shot to the lower right corner, a beautiful piece of execution. Sam Sanchez, Mackenzie Honeycutt, Kayla McKeon, Mead and Collins all have made an impact at midfielder. “I’m proud of our midfielders because they’re putting it all together,” Macierz said. The Balers are intent on upping their scoring output, especially since teams like Gilroy are tough to score on. Whatever happens, Macierz will be happy if the players give the same effort they did against North Salinas. “We were playing our game,” she said. “We played hard, disciplined and with intensity.” For the full version of this story, go to sanbenito.com.
GAVILAN VOLLEYBALL
Rams set for another big run WITH A ROSTER FILLED WITH LOCAL TALENT, GAVILAN EYES ANOTHER STATE TOURNEY BERTH emanuel lee Sports Editor
The Gavilan College women’s volleyball team has been road warriors this season—literally. Due to the renovation of the school’s gym, the Rams haven’t had a place on campus to play or practice. Instead, Gavilan has been relegated to practice at Gilroy High’s auxiliary gym—read, not the main gym—while playing every match on the road. “These young women have been super resilient,” said Rams coach Kevin Kramer, who expects the renovated gym to be open for play within the next two weeks. “I’ll be honest—they haven’t complained about it at all. I hope in long run once we do get back home, we’ll reboot and hit a stride we haven’t been able to hit yet.”
Expectations are high once again for the Rams, who are coming off their first-ever appearance in the finals of the state tournament. They’ve already shown flashes of having the potential to return to that stage for the second straight year, especially in regards to team chemistry. To wit: When two returning starters off a state contending team are asked to switch positions, that’s enough to potentially ruffle some feathers and change the dynamics of a team. Egos get bruised. Tension sets in. In turn, the team falls apart. That story has played out time and again in every sport, in every age group, across the world. However, Gavilan is one of those programs that rise above any potential distractions and changes, because everyone has bought into the one for all, all for one mentality. So it is for the Rams, who enter Friday’s match at De Anza ➝ Gavilan, page 19

Robert Eliason
Through the air, on the ground, or screaming off the edges, nothing came easy in a 31-22 victory for the San Benito High Haybalers on the road against the Seaside High Spartans. But, when the dust settled and the clock read triple zeros, the Haybalers (5-1, 3-0) found themselves on top, in a threeway tie for the first place in the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division. Things will only get more interesting from here. The final score belies how the game was going for San Benito before halftime. Seaside (3-3, 0-3) had stunned the Haybalers off two long touchdowns of 75 yards and 65 yards between senior quarterback Ivan Ochoa and allaround offensive weapon Daniel Sayer, which gave the Spartans a 22-12 lead shortly before the half. From that point on, San Benito’ offense got to work and the defense clamped down. Seaside’s aerial show was grounded for the remainder of the game. Near halftime, the Balers were driving to the end zone when junior quarterback Slade Wilson hit senior tight end Giovanni Giannotta for a 15-yard touchdown. Senior running back Matt Ramon, the team’s goal-line battering ram, punched through the line for a successful 2-point conversion, narrowing the score. From that point on, it was all Haybalers. “In the first half we ➝ Football, page 19

Loaded with local players, Gavilan thrives again ➝ From page 18
College at 12-4 overall and 2-0 in the Coast Conference South Division. Last year’s middle blockers, Haley Leifheit and Jenna Clonts, have moved to the right side because freshmen Camille Finley and Evelyn Clonts—yes, Jenna’s younger sister—are taller and more suitable to play the positions. Instead of causing strife, the Clonts sisters—they both prepped at Gilroy High—can tease one another about the situation. “Evelyn took my spot,” Jenna said with a chuckle. “It’s good, and I expected it. She’s so tall and so strong, and it’s nice I get to see her grow and improve. We’re so close in age and have played all through high school and club together. We don’t argue on the court because all of our hitters are dynamic. The change
of position has worked out better for the team.” Indeed, Kramer said this could be the most complete and balanced team he’s had in his 11th season at the helm. “The biggest boost we’ve had this year is the ability to block and control a match that way,” Kramer said. With Evelyn Clonts and Finley—a 2017 San Benito High graduate—locking down the middle, Jenna Clonts and Leifheit (San Benito) manning the right side and the trio of outside hitters in Katelyn Viray (Christopher), Sarah Weiby (Gilroy) and Katia Dizon (Anzar), the Rams have a physically imposing net presence. “This is probably the best blocking team we’ve ever had,” Kramer said. “One of the things we’ve lacked over the last couple of years is athletic and physical net play from the
blocking side, and these ladies really enjoy it and making their presence felt.” Gavilan’s diverse offensive attack isn’t dominated by one player; rather, several players are capable of scoring points off a swing. Other than Viray blasting 20 kills in one match, no other player has had over 15 in a single match throughout the season. But it’s no surprise when a half-dozen players record several kills in the same match, speaking of the team’s balanced offensive attack. “It’s harder to game plan against a team that has five to seven players who can put the ball down all the time,” Kramer said. “You can’t focus on one player, and we’re in a situation where we have a lot of young women who can contribute anytime. They have the ability to take over—they just haven’t had to do that yet.”
The bevy of options give setters Christa Arroyo (Christopher) and Greysen Gilroy (Monte Vista Christian) plenty to work with, and they’ve done an excellent job of making sound decisions and keeping opposing teams guessing on which player they’ll set. “Christa and Grace move the ball around really well,” Kramer said. “It’s a luxury to have both of them.” It’s also a luxury to have players who can take constructive criticism, and improve off them instead of taking it personally and affecting them in a negative way. Leifheit’s place in the middle was taken by Finley, her former teammate at San Benito High. “Camille and Evelyn are great in the middle,” Leifheit said. “They’re monsters, they’re awesome and I love having them here.” Leifheit and Jenna
Clonts are two of the team’s three captains—Karishma Brooks is the other—and they’ve displayed leadership not so much by words but by their actions. By switching positions with no reservations, they’ve demonstrated what it means to be team players. The transition for Clonts and Leifheit was made easier because both players are experienced and possess versatile skill sets. Because of that, they were able to make the necessary adjustments to flourish at a new position. “It has gone smoother than I expected,” Leifheit said. Said Clonts: “I like playing the right side. It’s something new, and it’s something I get excited about, knowing I’m improving everyday.” Playing the right side instead of the middle
means Clonts and Leifheit have had to adjust their timing with their attacks. Middles receive quick sets, while sets to the right side hitters are higher, giving them more time to adjust on the fly. One thing is for certain: The Rams are loaded with a deep roster, and competition at every position keeps everyone playing and practicing with a sense of urgency. “It’s really interesting because there’s a little more nervousness in getting pulled off the court,” Leifheit said. “There might be a shorter leash because we’ve got players for every position, and it puts more pressure on everyone to play their best in their role.” Clonts said the team’s dynamic and chemistry allow players to address each other in a firm but productive manner for the benefit of the program.
San Benito football team set for another league showdown against Salinas “We made some adjustment at halftime offensively and defensively,” Balers coach Bryan Smith said. “They couldn’t block the blitz at the end and we brought pressure from all sides. They didn’t change the protection, so there was no need to change the blitz.” It was like an early Thanksgiving feast for senior linebacker Eric Fernandez, who terrorized Ochoa, who would most often not drop back more than a few yards. Fernandez finished the night with a remarkable four sacks. “At halftime, our coaches were sticking it to us and
telling us that we were better than them and we needed to play like it,” Fernandez said. “Their offensive line could not handle our pressure. Everyone was doing a great job on defense, not just me.” From then on out it was a ground and pound clock chewing affair for the Balers. Senior running back Jonny Gonzalez and sophomore Eric Green attacked the line of scrimmage, methodically biting off chunks of yards while Wilson utilized his athleticism and running ability to march down the field. Senior running back Joe Demaggio
punched through the line for a 1-yard touchdown and Giannotta caught a 2-point conversion to give San Benito a 28-22 lead. The Balers play host to Salinas on Friday in a showdown of two of the three teams—Aptos is the other—that are 3-0 in league play. Upon hearing that Palma lost to Salinas last week, Gonzalez sounded eager to get the game going already. “Here we go,” Gonzalez said. “The only thing I got to say is, here we go. ... They watched the film from last week and they adjusted, so I knew what I had to do; I got tackled
Bryce Stoepfel
Page 18 were kind of being stopped, but in the second half our coaches made adjustments to go over right and over left, which opened up the playbook,” said Wilson, who explained San Benito’s offensive evolution after the half. “Then, we were able to open up the option to the weak side. By doing that it opened up our smash option and we were able to get two lead blockers.” Besides production from Seaside’s Roderick Gaskins Jr. and running back Demarcus Hawkins, the Spartans’ offense was smothered by the Balers’ defense in the second half.
PRODUCING Gio Giannotta had a 15-yard touchdown reception in the Balers’ 31-22 win over Seaside last week. a lot for it,” said Gonzalez, who was covered head to toe in turf. “I’m a team player and it’s a team effort
and I want my boys to succeed. Whoever gets on that scoreboard go up, I’m down for it.”

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Hollister, as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act, has completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the Chappell Road Project and the Draft EIR is currently available for public review and comment. Project Name: Chappell Road Project Project Location: The Chappell Road project is within the City of Hollister Planning Area and the City’s Urban Planning Area. Hollister is located in San Benito County, southeast of Gilroy and east of San Juan Bautista. The City serves as the county seat. The project area is located along State Route (SR) 25 (Hollister Bypass) adjacent to the eastern city limit, just outside of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundary. The project area is bordered by Santa Ana Road to the south, North Chappell Road to the west, and SR 25 to the east and north. The project area includes 13 different parcels. Project Description: The proposed project includes the following proposed actions: (1) expansion of the City’s SOI by approximately 100.6 acres; (2) prezoning of three parcels to Low Density Residential consistent with General Plan designations; and (3) annexation of approximately 32.4 acres for those parcels. Parcels 1, 2, and 3 are proposed for nearterm development, while the remaining parcels would be annexed in phases based on the property owner’s readiness. It is understood that future actions and detailed submittals for development of parcels A through I may require additional CEQA review. Currently parcels 1, 2, and 3 are slotted for annexation and development. The rest of the parcels located in the project area would be developed once annexation and development proposals would be submitted for City approval. Construction assumptions in this Draft EIR are based on the full development potential for the project area. It is assumed that parcels 1, 2, and 3 would be developed within the next five years, with the rest of the parcels as development applications are developed. Environmental Effects Discussed in the Document: The City has prepared a Draft EIR to address the specific environmental effects of the Chappell Road Project. The Draft EIR consists of an analysis of the following environmental issue areas that may be impacted by the project: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology & Soils, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Transportation and Traffic, and Utilities. After mitigation, the project would have fourteen significant and unavoidable impact related to the conversion of prime farmland, cumulative conversion of farmland, long-term air quality operational emissions, cumulatively considerable increase in non-attainment criteria pollutants, built environment cultural resources, cumulative impacts on cultural and tribal cultural resources and human remains, generation of greenhouse gas emissions under Year 2030 conditions, compliance with Senate Bill 32 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Policy, compliance with the General Plan Open Space and Agriculture Element, cumulative land use impacts, exposure of persons to substantial noise and a permanent increase in noise, cumulative traffic noise impacts, compliance with an applicable traffic plan, and cumulative traffic impacts. Document Availability: Copies of the Draft EIR are available for public review at the following locations:
DRINKING WATER WARNING The City of San Juan Bautista Water System has high levels of nitrate DO NOT GIVE THE WATER TO INFANTS UNDER 6 MONTHS OLD OR PREGNANT WOMEN OR USE IT TO MAKE INFANT FORMULA Water sample results received from 9/1/2017 to 9/30/2017 showed nitrate levels ranging from 12.79 to 13.81 milligrams per liter. This is above the nitrate standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), of 10 milligrams per liter. Nitrate in drinking water is a serious health concern for infants less than six months old. What should I do? • DO NOT GIVE THE WATER TO INFANTS. Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL may quickly become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die because high nitrate levels can interfere with the capacity of the infant’s blood to carry oxygen. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. Symptoms in infants can develop rapidly, with health deteriorating over a period of days. If symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately. • PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD NOT CONSUME THE WATER. High nitrate levels may also affect the oxygencarrying ability of the blood of pregnant women. • Water, juice, and formula for children under six months of age should not be prepared with tap water. Bottled water or other water low in nitrates should be used for infants until further notice. • DO NOT BOIL THE WATER. Boiling, freezing, filtering, or letting water stand does not reduce the nitrate level. Excessive boiling can make the nitrates more concentrated, because nitrates remain behind when the water evaporates. • If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor. What happened? What is being done? Nitrate in drinking water can come from natural, industrial, or agricultural sources (including septic systems, storm water run-off, and fertilizers). Levels of nitrate in drinking water can vary throughout the year. We will let you know when the amount of nitrate is again below the limit. The City is working to bring two new wells into the water system so that Well #2 (high nitrates) can be taken offline. The goal is to have the system back in compliance by November. For more information, please contact The City of San Juan Bautista at 831-623-4661 or 311 Second Street (P.O. Box 1420), San Juan Bautista, C.A. 95045. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this public notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. Secondary Notification Requirements
