Cops spread joy with holiday bike giveaway MORE THAN 90 BIKES, HELMETS DISTRIBUTED TO LOCAL STUDENTS Roseann Hernandez Cattani Editor

The Hollister police station was transformed into Santa’s grotto on Saturday as more than 90 bikes and fitted helmets were distributed to local students. This is the fourth year the local police has hosted the bike giveaway. “It started as an idea I had the first year I was chief to help kids, not just in Hollister but the whole county,” said Hollister Police Chief David Westrick. “I think that every kid should have the opportunity for a new bike at least once, no matter what.” For the last three years of the initiative, the Hollister police has teamed up with San Jose-based charity, TurningWheels for Kids, which builds and donates bikes to children in the Bay Area. Earlier this month, the organization hosted a bike building workshop where up to 2500 bikes were constructed by approximately 1000 volunteers and later distributed to 40 area nonprofits to give the bikes away to children in need. In its 13 years of operation the group has given away more than

35,000 bikes, according TurningWheels for Kids co-founder, Nancy Huff. A group of Hollister police, youth in the Explorer program and department staff and family members attended the bike building event. In addition to the bikes from TurningWheels, the local contingent collected donations from people and businesses in San Benito County. “We brought a ton of donated bicycles and helmets,” said Westrick. Central Ag Supply, Cold Storage Crossfit, Whiskey Creek, Cheap Seats, Enterprise Academy of Martial Arts and many other local private donors readily gave. “Not only did they provide a bike build team, some of the officers went to load the bikes,” said Huff. “[Chief Westrick] put a challenge out to the community and local businesses to provide in-kind donations—we have a raffle to raise money for next year to buy bikes—and they brought with them several baskets for gifts that Hollister businesses donated. That was going above and beyond and we appreciate that.” On Saturday, a line formed outside the station door at 8am, the

kids were ready and excited to collect their new bike. The police department asked teachers in Hollister schools to nominate kids who they believed would benefit from a new bike. All of the names were then entered into a drawing and randomly selected by raffle. There were an assortment of bikes to giveaway: pink ones, racing ones, cruisers, aqua blue ones with sparkly tassels dangling from the handle bars. All came with a big, red bow. Safe Kids Partners, a collaboration of various agencies involved in health, recreation and public safety, provided safety lights for each bicycle and helped fit each child with the appropriate helmet. “I do it, because I can and I have a staff that also believes we should give hope and help where we can,” said Westrick. “We don’t do it to be recognized or anything. We do it, because it’s the right thing to do. We love people, it’s why serve.” It is also just a lot of fun. “It’s always fun to see them come in with a big smile on their face,” said Carlos Rodriguez, one of three school resource officers that patrol Hollister schools.

DEBIT

➝ Dabo, 1

hard on everyone, the articles, the accusations, the office under attack, etc.,” Dabo wrote county school Supt. Krystal Lomanto on Dec. 1 in an email obtained by the Free Lance in a public record request. “I will resign my position. I just don’t know when I’ll do it.” Dabo sent the email to Lomanto the same day that the Free Lance reported that San Benito County District Attorney Candice Hooper would investigate possible criminal fraud or theft charges against him, once she obtained evidence from a Nov. 13 civil trial. That Superior Court trial in San Benito ended with a ruling that Dabo violated state probate laws and diverted money from a charitable trust to his own accounts, denying the Community Foundation for San Benito Country more than $640,000 in money for local charities. Dabo told the Free Lance last week that he would not seek reelection by his fellow trustees to a third consecutive year as president of the school board, but stopped short of saying he would quit the board, where he has served for 34 years. Aside from the resignation statement, most of the content of three emails sent by Dabo to Lomanto in October, November and December was hidden under thick black lines – “redacted” – by Lomanto in “the public interest.” The redactions included most of an Oct. 24 email, all of a Nov. 24 email, as well as most of the Dec. 1 email from Dabo, and all of a Dec.2 response from Lomanto. The only statements by Dabo not hidden by Lomanto’s black marker pen indicated Dabo’s concern for his reputation and that of the county Office of Education, which he said was “under attack.” “Thanks for all your support,” he wrote Lomanto.

The school superintendent responded to a Free Lance request by sending copies of 27 emails to or from Dabo over a six-week period, 18 of which were routine board communications from the board secretary. Lomanto justified her redactions of most of her exchange with Dabo before and after the civil trial as serving the public interest. There was no reference in the un-redacted text to his absences from two board meetings or his decision to not seek reelection as president. “A portion of the records have been redacted as they contain information not disclosable under Government Code…as they are not ‘public records,” she said in a letter to the Free Lance accompanying the emails. She said she was justified in redacting public records for public view “if the public interest served by not disclosing the records clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosing the records.” The California Constitution, Article 1, Section 3, b (1) states that “The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business, and, therefore, the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies shall be open to public scrutiny.” The school board’s attorney, Matthew P. Juhl-Darlington of conChico, CA, tends that Lomanto was “required to make” the redactions in the emails before releasing them. He also wrote that “Mr. Dabo’s privacy would be violated if certain email communications had not been redacted.” When asked to identify the specific section of state law used to to justify each redaction, Lomanto deferred to her attorney, who wrote, “To be clear, the [County Office of Education] is not required to create

a list of specific exceptions tied to each specific redaction,” citing a 2001 court decision. The California First Amendment Coalition disagrees, stating that the numerous exemptions allowed by the California Public Records Act are not mandatory, but up to the discretion of the public official or public body. Juhl-Darlington, in response to a Free Lance question, said the question of blocking content in the released emails did not come up before the full school board. “Since the [California Public Records Act request was sent to your office,” he wrote Lomanto this week, ”then you as the County Superintendent of Schools was responsible for producing responsive records per Mr. Holtzclaw’s request, and making redactions per advice from the [County Office of Education]’s legal counsel.” Dabo did not attend board meetings on Nov. 30 or Dec. 14, when Joan Campbell-Garcia was elected the new president. He also did not attend the Nov. 13 trial, saying he could not afford an attorney. The Hollister Police Department earlier this month opened its own criminal investigation, and received a binder of evidence of – canceled checks, bank statements and court documents – from District Attorney Candice Hooper showing withdrawals of money from the Matulich Charitable Trust by Dabo. The evidence, presented at the trial of Dabo’s civil lawsuit by the Community Foundation for San Benito County, had been delivered to Hooper by the Free Lance. A Superior Court judge on Nov. 13 awarded the foundation $1.74 million in damages, plus legal fees estimated at $85,000. The final court papers ordering Dabo to pay the judgment had not yet been filed this week.

The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business, and, therefore, the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies shall be open to public scrutiny.” —THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 1, SECTION 3, B (1).

OPINION FROM THE WEB Local leaders updated on Nash Road bypass Now how about another bypass at the end of San Juan Rd/156B to alleviate traffic off of Highway 25? I think that would generate less accidents and adding extra lanes on the 25 would just enable, cause or give drivers a chance to speed. Higher speeds mean greater accidents. Just my thoughts. Thanks for reading! Drive safe everyone. Jeff Ryan Bernaldez Via Facebook

Wouldn't a pedestrian overpass, or tunnel like the one in front of the court house be easier and cheaper? Breanna Sondgroth Via Facebook

Hollister police looking at Dabo evidence Considering the reluctance to pursue this criminally I doubt he will see any jail time or even a criminal conviction. They should investigate Dabo's political campaign contributions and if any are found determine if it was obtained from the trust money and if it could hinder the investigation in any way. Follow the money!

Mitchell Dabo’s departure from public life is overdue

itchell Dabo is leaving the San Benito County Board of Education. At least he said three weeks ago that he would. The

sooner the better. He could have announced his plans to resign when he told us last week that he would not seek to be returned as board president. But he didn’t. The 34-year public servant could have told his constituents, the taxpayers and voters of San Benito County, of his plans. But he didn’t. He could have resigned five weeks ago when Superior Court Judge Marjorie L. Carter slapped him with a $1.74 million judgment and affirmed facts that he violated state probate laws by moving more than $640,000 from a charitable trust fund to his personal accounts. But he didn’t. He could have resigned from the board when the Community Foundation first filed the lawsuit, seeking the funds promised to San Benito charities by the late Tony and Barbara Matulich. Mr. Dabo knew at the time that he had been caught red-handed, and could have saved this community and his school board colleagues embarrassment. But he didn’t. For that matter, when a series of enforcement actions by the federal Financial Industry Regulatory Authority censured him on four separate occasions in 1998, 1999 and 2001, finally pulling all of his certifications for selling securities or acting as a securities broker for violating federal regulations, he could have resigned. But he didn’t. Mr. Dabo hasn’t said when he will retire. Perhaps he is waiting for the outcome of the Hollister police investigation, or the inspection of his accounts by a forensic accountant hired by the district attorney. If he is eventually charged with crimes, he might say that he wants to wait until after a verdict, or after an appeal – or after sentencing, before resigning.

Mr. Dabo complained to Krystal Lomanto, superintendent of the county Office of Education, that he and the school board were “under attack.” By whom? The Matulich Charitable Trust? The Community Foundation? The Free Lance, which simply reported the details of the court case? We don’t know what Supt. Lomanto said to Mr. Dabo. We don’t know if she encouraged him or discouraged him with regard to his board status. We do know that he thanked her for her support. Or more accurately, for her public silence, since she and Mr. Dabo’s fellow trustees have chosen to say nothing to reassure the citizens of San Benito County that public trust is more important than cronyism.

Mr. Dabo should resign immediately. Give us a break. Give the county school board a chance to get back to business. We don’t know much of what he said to Ms. Lomanto, either, because she ran her black marker over most of the email content before sending the public documents to us. In doing so, she chose to define the public’s interests as her own private interests, at the expense of the public’s right to know what elected public officials are saying about their public responsibilities. Mr. Dabo should resign immediately. Give us a break. Give the county school board a chance to get back to business. Give Ms. Lomanto a chance to put down her black marker and restore transparency to the Office of Education. Give prospective candidates an opportunity to file for his vacant seat. That would be a great holiday gift and a great way to start the New Year.

Hollister considers annual cap on singlefamily homes Yes it should. I agree with the above comments but, I grew up in Orange County at the foot of the Saddleback Mountains. By the time I graduated high school, there was not an orange grove to be found and the mountain (hills) were plastered with houses. So, yes slow down and limit growth. Shanon Moore Romiti Via Facebook

A resounding YES! Duh. Mel Robichaud-Flowers Via Facebook

No, increase the impact fees to pay for the backlog of schools, roads and other infrastructure. Robert Gibson Via Facebook

County transportation plan considers bond to plug funding gap I don't think any project that includes an interregional road should be included. It has always been the state’s job to fund interregional roads. 156 is an interregional road. Why should a little county with only 60,000 people in it pay for travel from the central valley to the coast areas? They are just stealing the state funds to pay for a high speed railroad to nowhere instead of doing the right thing. Richard Place Via Facebook

If we could see how funds are earmarked and actually spent, building more confidence. The taxpayer would be more accepting of bonds and money grabs. But we are so jaded watching our state reps spend, spend, spend like there is no tomorrow, we the people would be more willing to support such issues. Jack Kimmich Via Facebook

No bonds! Let the current generation pay for repairs and maintenance, not kick the can down the road. Robert Gibson Via Facebook

City leaders put a halt to non-medical cannabis URGENCY ORDINANCE WILL BE VALID FOR 45 DAYS Nicholas Preciado Reporter

The Hollister City Council focused on cannabis operations once again as elected officials on Monday enacted an urgency ordinance that prohibits recreational cannabis business operations within city limits for a period of time. City leaders also approved a manufacturing permit for a medical cannabis business on Industrial Drive and denied the appeal of a dispensary applicant who failed to receive a permit from the council in September.

Urgency ordinance

The city council unanimously approved an urgency ordinance that prohibits cultivation, processing, manufacturing, distribution, testing and sale of non-medical cannabis in the City of Hollister. The urgency ordinance is valid for 45 days. “Staff will be coming back to

you either with findings to continue this particular ordinance or the real goal here is to provide you with enough information for you to adopt a permanent ordinance relating to the adult use of cannabis,” City Manager Bill Avera told the council. The city council approved a medical cannabis ordinance in December 2016. Since then, the city has approved two medical dispensaries within city limits, as well as a multitude of cultivation, manufacturing and distribution businesses. Residents and local cannabis businesses turned out at the Monday night meeting to voice their opinions on the urgency ordinance. John Kolodinski of High Class Distribution and YHL, Inc. mentioned the financial impact on local cannabis operations. “If we’re restricted as a producer to only work in the medical market, that would affect our ability to generate revenue,” Kolodinski said. “We hope you consider the implications of restricting our operation.” The urgency ordinance had support from numerous

residents, including Steve Becerra. “They came to you before and said they wanted to provide medicine for people and tonight we’re seeing a different shirt,” Becerra said. “Tonight we’re seeing what it’s really about in the future: recreational marijuana.”

Cannabis comes to Industrial Drive

Medical cannabis business Euphoric Life, Inc. received a permit to operate a manufacturing facility at 807 Industrial Drive, but relinquished a cultivation permit at the same location after public outcry over the location. The business will manufacture transdermal, adhesive pain patches that utilize cannabidiol, or CBD, a cannabis compound with health benefits that doesn’t get the user high as is the case with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Additionally, the location was owned and recently sold by a trust where a member of Vice Mayor Karson Klauer’s family is a beneficiary. Klauer recused himself from the item.

Residents came to speak out against the proposed location for Euphoric Life at Monday night’s meeting. “I just want to reiterate again that we still have children, we still have families and we still have been there in that facility for 25 years,” said Lisa Rovella of Rovella’s Gym. “So we’ve built our business, we’ve gone through all of the things we needed to go through to keep our business and to accommodate the healthy lifestyle. We have to fight again to remain a healthy choice in our community.” In August, the city council denied three cannabis permit applications from Layla’s Landing, who intended to operate at 817 Industrial Drive mere feet away from Euphoric Life’s location. The permit denial came after members of the public raised concern over the site’s proximity to places where youth gather, such as Crossfit San Benito and Rovella’s Gym. Euphoric Life Owner Dr. Ahmad Rafii, a doctor of chiropractic medicine for over 25 years, said he attended the August city council meeting where the initial uproar over 817 Industrial Drive occurred. After some questions

from the council, Rafii said he would be willing to defer a cultivation permit and just stick with a manufacturing permit. Pinnacle Strategy President Victor Gomez, speaking as a representative for Euphoric Life, argued in favor of allowing cannabis manufacturing facilities on Industrial Drive. “When it comes to manufacturing, the question about location is over,” Gomez said. “The city council adopted an ordinance that included Industrial Drive. The argument whether this is a good location for cannabis or not is really irrelevant, because the council already adopted and said Industrial Drive is going to be cannabis-friendly. Even with the investments that have been made, my client is willing to defer the cultivation component, but we believe that the manufacturing component is 100 percent consistent with the industrial zoning use and also the cannabis zoning use as well.” The medical cannabis business ended up receiving a manufacturing permit with a 3-1 vote. Mayor Velazquez was the sole dissenter.

San Benito County school board elects a president JOAN CAMPBELL-GARCIA HAS BEEN ON COUNTY BOARD SINCE 2000 Roseann Hernandez Cattani Editor

Retired educator and current San Benito County Office of Education governing board vice president, Joan Campbell-Garcia, has been elected new board president. The move comes after former board president, Mitchell Dabo, did not seek to be reelected by his fellow trustees.

www.GilroyHyundai.com

Campbell-Garcia, whose term is up in 2018, said it has been an honor to serve so long on the board. “We’ve always had great respect for each other, staff members and teachers,” she said. “We are always focusing on vision, goals and what we are trying to achieve at the county office of education.” When asked if the court judgement against fellow board member Mitchell Dabo and the resulting publicity has been an issue,

www.GilroyHyundai.com

Campbell-Garcia said, only so far as the board has had to keep repeating that they have no jurisdiction over what Mr. Dabo does. “Some people seem to think the superintendent can fire him or we can fire him, that is ridiculous. That’s not just the way it works,” she said. To the best of her knowledge, Campbell-Garcia said Dabo had not resigned from the board. “We focus on the business at hand,” she said.

Dabo’s second one year term as president was up and he was absent from last week’s vote. Campbell-Garcia taught at San Andreas Continuation High School and has a strong interest in vocational education. “I loved working with alternative education students,” said Campbell-Garcia on Monday. The board position opened up when she thought about retiring from teaching in 2000 and she has been on the board eversince. The board is made up of five

Hollister hosts Wreaths Across America EMOTIONAL CEREMONY ON SATURDAY AT CALVARY CEMETERY Roseann Hernandez Cattani Editor

and women who gave their lives so that we could live in freedom without fear.” Each member of the Hollister VFW Post 9242 honor guard stood up to receive a wreath bedecked in a red ribbon, one for each of the branches of the U.S. armed services. The wreaths were then laid outside in stands along the headstones. Volunteers, family members and loved ones walked among the gravestones. “Thank you to those who gave their lives to keep us free,” said Vieira. “We shall not forget you, we shall remember.”

The emotion-laden notes of “Taps” fill the air as Joe Ostenson plays his bugle outside the mausoleum. Ostenson’s father served in the U.S. Army during WWII and also played the bugle. “I play this for my dad,” said Ostenson, the poignant refrain of the sombre tune lingering above the heavy silence of Hollister’s Calvary Cemetery. “Right now across the

country at more than 1,200 memorial sites like this one, people are gathered as one nation to remember, honor and teach,” began Juli A. Vieira, president of the San Benito County Chamber of Commerce. Called Wreaths across America, the memorial service takes place every year on December 16. Wreaths are laid on the graves of soldiers who have died and their names read out loud, one-by-one. “Freedoms we enjoy today did not come without a price,” continued Vieira. “Lying here before us and in cemeteries throughout this nation are men

County to hire lobbyist, Rivas catches fire KIM STONE PREVIOUSLY WORKED WITH SUPERVISOR’S BROTHER Nicholas Preciado Reporter

San Benito County policymakers last week approved the hiring of a lobbyist to work on the county’s behalf at the state capitol to the tune of $120,000 over the next fiscal year. But some have balked at the $10,000 a month in retainer fees that will go to the Sacramento-based lobby firm, Stone Advocacy, and raised the spectre of a potential conflict-of-interest on the part of one of the county supervisors, Robert Rivas, whose brother once worked with the lobby firm’s principal and founder, Kim Stone. “Knowing someone does not create a conflict of interest,” Rivas said, who referred to Stone as an acquaintance. “I’ve held myself to the highest standards of the board of supervisors. I’ve been as transparent as I can be. Unfortunately, this is an attempt by political opponents to discredit me.” Stone worked with Supervisor

Rivas’ brother, Rick, when she was president of the Civil Justice Association of California, a Sacramento-based nonprofit group that lobbies against policy that would make it easier to bring lawsuits against business. The board of directors includes major companies such as JPMorgan Chase, The Dow Chemical Company, ExxonMobil Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank and Kaiser Permanente. Stone left the lobby firm in December 2016 and Rick Rivas now works at Equality California as the San Francisco program manager. The Board of Supervisors decided to hire Stone Advocacy after a search that started earlier this year. The county placed an ad in a Sacramento news publication, Capitol Weekly, seeking letters of interest and proposals from California lobbying firms. The county received a total of seven proposals over the last five months and brought three before the supervisors at the December 12 meeting: Dimare, Brown, Hicks & Kessler LLC,

Hurst Brooks Espinosa LLC and Stone Advocacy. Each firm requested a monthly retainer, with Stone Advocacy and Dimare, Brown, Hicks & Kessler asking for $10,000. Hurst Brooks Espinosa was the lowest bid at $3,000. “It’s 2017; it’s time for our county to get professional representation in Sacramento,” Supervisor Rivas said at the meeting. Rivas, who was part of an ad hoc committee to find representation for the county alongside Chairman Jaime De La Cruz, nominated Stone Advocacy. Part of the lobbyist’s mandate is to advocate on important county issues like roads and transportation. “When we were tasked with finding a county advocate, I looked for three things,” Rivas said by phone Monday. “I wanted the best to represent San Benito County, I wanted a firm with bandwidth to focus on our county and we need a proven advocate who knows how to deliver results.” A motion passed 3-2, with De La Cruz and Supervisor Mark Medina dissenting.

Since the vote, Rivas’ brother’s connection to Stone has raised eyebrows. Rivas said it is just dirty politics at work. Rivas is considering a run for the district 30 seat in the state assembly next year, currently held by Anna Caballero, who cannot run for reelection because of term limits. Rivas has yet to make an official announcement. Furthermore, the Rivas brothers and Stone worked for Caballero during a previous campaign in 2006. “I was employed as Anna Caballero’s field director,” Rivas said. “I didn’t know Kim then. My brother was campaign manager. This whole idea that we’ve worked together, it’s false. I’ve never been on the same payroll as Kim Stone.” While Rivas acknowledged that his brother worked with Stone in the past, they haven’t worked together in over a year and a half. County staff is currently in negotiations with Stone Advocacy to hammer out a one-year agreement. The contract does not

require additional board action, as Chief Administrative Officer Ray Espinosa is authorized to execute the agreement per board direction on December 12. Stone Advocacy’s scope of service is expected to be outlined in the contract currently under negotiation. “I’m happy we’ve directed staff to begin negotiations,” Rivas said. “I’m not part of those. We directed staff to negotiate. I’m optimistic and hopeful staff can negotiate a good price to obtain her services. I think this is a step in the right direction for our county and the board of supervisors.” According to county officials, Stone Advocacy will meet with a wide range of local community stakeholders in the coming weeks to help supervisors formulate a comprehensive legislative and advocacy agenda for the upcoming legislative session in Sacramento. “The bottom line is Kim Stone is the very best,” Rivas said. “She had references from Anna Caballero and State Senator Anthony Cannella.”

BALERS HOOPS

Martinez a testament to always persevere SAN BENITO HIGH SENIOR PROVING THE DOUBTERS WRONG WITH EACH PASSING GAME

➝ From page AXX

emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

During her sophomore year, Berenice Martinez remembers all of the people who had only negative things to say to her. “There were some people at school trying to put me down,” the San Benito High senior guard said. “They told me I couldn’t do this or do that, but I overcame that. I told myself I could do this and prove I’m capable of playing basketball well and moving forward.” And that’s exactly what Martinez has done. Martinez has proved the haters wrong with a breakout season for the Haybalers, who entered the Del Mar Tournament Wednesday with a 6-3 record. Martinez is one of the Baler’ top scorers and 3-point shooters, and she’s improved in every facet of the game from last season. “I think overall I’m doing better with moving the ball and finding the open girl,” she said. “I feel like my shooting is better than what it was last year, and as a result I’m shooting a lot more this season.” That took some adjusting, however. Martinez has always had a passfirst mentality, but she’s learned that sometimes the best shot for the team is when she’s taking it. Plus, Balers coach Mitch Burley has encouraged Martinez to take open shots. Even though Martinez can light it up from the outside, she’s also adept at getting to the basket ➝ Martinez, page 20

GRIT AND DETERMINATION San Benito High juniors Jacob Burley and Matt Campo grew up together playing basketball and baseball. They’ve added plenty of grit and toughness to a Haybalers team that is looking to turn things around. BOYS BASKETBALL

Strength in Twos JACOB BURLEY AND MATT CAMPO GREW UP PLAYING HOOPS AND BASEBALL emanuel lee Sports Editor

Jacob Burley and Matt Campo grew up playing a lot of 1-on1 basketball against each other, developing a close bond in the process. Now the San Benito High juniors are key cogs for a Haybalers team that is looking to rebound from a tough threeyear stretch. The Balers entered Thursday’s game against Milpitas with a 2-9 record, and yet Burley and Campo have been consistent contributors throughout the season.

Burley, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound point guard, and Campo, a 6-2, 190-pound power forward, are similar in that they’re willing to compete for every possession and do all of the little things that might not show up on the stat sheet but plays a key role in a team’s success. San Benito High coach Anthony Butler has been pleased with the two first-year varsity players. “Matt Campo is a guy who has really stepped up so far this year on the defensive side as well as being aggressive offensively,” Butler said. “Jacob Burley has been someone who has impressed us early. His work ethic and basketball IQ is something that is great to see. These guys work hard on the court, but more importantly

they are great students in the classroom.” Burley, who is the son of longtime San Benito High girls basketball coach Mitch Burley, started the season at shooting guard only to make the switch to point guard a couple of games into the season. “I knew that was my spot and how I could help the team most,” he said. In the team’s season-opening 68-63 win over Christopher, Burley finished with 14 points, scoring some critical baskets in the fourth quarter and overtime periods. “In the close games, I love handling the pressure and trying to make the big shots,” he said. Burley is also adept at shooting from 3-point range and getting to

the basket off dribble penetration. Campo has played solid interior defense while also being strong on the boards. He had 12 points in a 56-46 loss to Wilcox on Dec. 12, starting the game off strong with a couple of putbacks. Campo earns every point he scores, as they usually come through pure grit and effort. Against Wilcox, Campo converted some steals into layups while also slicing through the Wilcox defense for some close-range baskets. “I play scrappy and try to outhustle the players on the other team,” Campo said. “All I want to do is help my team in any way I can. Mentally, it’s about grinding and playing hard all the time.” Burley and Campo also grew up ➝ Balers, page 20

Haybalers senior Martinez shows she’s got game about basketball until C.C. turned her on it,” Burley said. “She has really grown in her basketball acumen over the last couple of years. Typically she is very quiet, but on the court she is extremely loud. Her hustle and toughness make her fun to watch. The other day she dove over an opposing player to create a jump ball without touching the player. I asked the team if they saw ‘Ninja Berenice’ make that play.” Vasquez, who is now playing at Gavilan College, always offers helpful advice and tips to Martinez, who is more than willing to listen and learn. “C.C. will always come to me and tell me what kind of drills they’re doing at Gavilan,” Martinez said. “She’ll show me certain things that she thinks will help me, like drills to help me handle the ball better. I end up trying those things on my own. C.C. is a good role model, is positive and

always gives 100 percent. She’s just amazing and helps motivate me to keep going.” Martinez said as an eighth grader she had no clue what basketball was about. While it took some time for her to learn the rules of the game and the fundamentals, she had a deep desire to improve in a sport she was quickly falling in love with. “I would go to the park with my cousins and just play as much as I could,” said Martinez, who also credited her uncle, Miguel Vasquez, for teaching her the basics of the game. “ Despite her lack of experience, Martinez was named a co-captain on the Balers’ freshmen team three years ago. “I didn’t see that coming, but I used it as an opportunity and saw it as a positive thing,” she said. Martinez loves the makeup of this year’s team, noting the superior talent

Page 19 off dribble penetration. She had a season-high 15 points in a game earlier this season, mostly coming off a variety of drives and open outside jumpers. At 5-foot-3, Martinez knows the importance of positioning and using screens to shake her defender. “It’s harder for someone like me to shoot over a lot of girls, so I have to work hard with and without the ball to get open,” she said. “I have to find a way to get around them or create space for myself so they don’t have a chance to block my shot.” Martinez only started playing organized basketball in the eighth grade, but thanks to her cousin, former Balers standout C.C. Vasquez, Martinez has made meteoric strides in her game. Burley said he has been thoroughly impressed with Martinez’s play. “She knew very little

level and chemistry compared to last year’s squad. In particular, freshman sensation Kaiya Dickens has made quite an impression, playing a game few freshmen in the entire

Central Coast Section can rival. Dickens’ impact has helped the Balers in every facet of the game. “I feel like this year we’re communicating better, working harder in practice

and giving each other more helpful instructions in practice and in the games,” she said. “We’re more vocal with each other, and that makes it more easier to know where everyone is on the court.”

Balers juniors Burley, Campo making an impact Page 19

“They never let me win in anything, so that helped me a lot. I was always around them and they helped give me a love for sports. My sister played travel softball, and I went to almost all of her tournaments every weekend. During the winter basketball season, I was in the gym all day.” Mitch, of course, is the most decorated athlete of the family, having played basketball at Santa Clara University. The younger Burley has done a nice job of following in his siblings’ footsteps while also forging his own identity. Burley prides himself on hustling and never giving up, as does Campo, who credits the San Benito coaching staff for putting him

in a position to succeed. Campo is an excellent help defender, always active on the glass and willing to set strong screens. Burley and Campo can’t wait for the league season to start. They know it’s going to be a tough road, but they don’t plan on laying down anytime soon. “I’m really looking forward to league and seeing where we’re at,” Burley said. “I love playing the games where the atmosphere is high intensity.” Said Campo: “Our goal is to not only win more games, but we want to bring excitement and the crowd back to our home games. We want to have people talking and being excited again.”

playing baseball against each other as members on different teams. They’ve always shared a love for competition, and they know how to play well together on the court. Burley grew up in the gym and on various athletic fields—literally. With two older brothers (Kevin and Matt) and one older sister (Ellie), Burley watched his siblings’ games while also practicing at the same time. Kevin graduated from San Benito High in 2008, Matt in 2011 and Ellie in 2013. Burley said growing up with three older siblings helped him develop at a faster pace. “They were all good siblings, and they were never easy on me,” Burley said.

HOOPS DUO Jacob Burley and Matt Campo have made solid contributions in a variety of ways, whether it’s scoring, rebounding, playing defense and making the hustle plays.

BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN BENITO

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF EDNA B. MARTIN NO. PR-17-00064 FILED: 12-1-2017. To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Edna B. Martin. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Vincent Arroyo in the Superior Court of California, County of San Benito. The PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that: Vincent Arroyo be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 1-11-2018 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept: 1, Superior Court of California County of San Benito, 450 Fourth Street, Hollister, California, 95023 . IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner, Vincent C. Catania, CSB# 196176, 215 W. Franklin St. Ste 310, Monterey, CA 93940 831.655.3330.

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 11/1/2017 to 11/30/2017 showed nitrate levels ranging from 8.44 to 13 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, CA 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 Upon receipt of notification from a person operating a public water system, the following notification must be given within 10 days [Health and Safety Code Section 116450(g)]: • SCHOOLS: Must notify school employees, students, and parents (if the students are minors). • RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR MANAGERS (including nursing homes and care facilities): Must notify tenants. • BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS, MANAGERS, OR OPERATORS: Must notify employees of businesses located on the property.

Section 50101. Unless otherwise formally approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all acquired steel and manufactured products installed under the AIP assisted project must be produced in the United States. The Buy America requirements flow down from first tier contractors, who are responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are in compliance. Section of 50101(b) permits conditional waivers of this preference. Specifically, the FAA will consider a waiver if the bidder can demonstrate: (1) Applying subsection 50101(a) is inconsistent with the public interest; (2) The steel and goods produced in the United States are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or are not of a satisfactory quality; (3) The cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than 60 percent of the cost of all components and final assembly occurs within the United States (4) The inclusion of domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.As a condition of bid responsiveness, Bidder must indicate on the Buy American certification whether it in-tends to meet Buy American requirements by only installing 100% United States made steel and manufactured products or if they intend to request a permissible waiver to Buy America preferences. Waivers determinations addressed under exceptions (1) and (2) will generally be made as part of the bid so-licitation. Bidder may not request a waiver under exceptions (1) or (2). The successful bidder that desires a waiver under exception (3) shall make the request by selecting the ap-propriate certification statement and complying with the following conditions:- For equipment and material the FAA has already issued a waiver to AIP Buy American preferences as indicated on the current FAA Buy American conformance list, bidder shall submit a listing of specific equipment and material it proposes to install on the project prior to the issuance of a Notice-to-Proceed.- For equipment and material the FAA has not previously issued a waiver to Buy American preferences, the bidder identified with the apparent low bid agrees to prepare and submit to the owner a waiver request and component calculation information within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice of apparent award of contract.The successful bidder that desires a waiver under exception (4) shall make the request by selecting the ap-propriate certification statement and complying with the following conditions: - Provide detailed proposal costs using domestic product(s) and the overall project cost.- Provide detailed alternate proposal costs of the non-domestic product(s) and the overall project cost. - If the proposal with domestic product(s) is more than 25% of the proposal with non-domestic product(s), the bidder may request a waiver under exception (4). Bidder is hereby advised that Owner approval of any requested waiver is contingent upon approval by the FAA. The submission of a Bid shall be conclusive evidence that the Bidder agrees to comply with 49 USC § 50101, which provides that Federal funds may not be obligated unless all steel and manufactured goods used in AIP-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless the FAA has issued a waiver for the product; the product is listed as an Excepted Article, Material Or Supply in Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 25.108; or is included in the FAA Nationwide Buy American Waivers Issued list. A bidder or offeror must submit the appropriate Buy America Certification with all bids or offers on AIP funded projects. Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America certification must be rejected as nonresponsive.
