Jaqueline McCool

With Tax Day approaching on April 15, local tax preparers are feeling the brunt of the new law that recently went into effect. In December 2017 President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, billed as the largest tax reform in three decades. The law applies to 2018 tax filings. The law changed, among many other things, the tax brackets based on a single person’s or married couple’s income. For example, a single individual who makes $38,701$82,500 annually saw their income tax rate drop from 25 percent to 22 percent on Jan. 1, 2018, meaning they would receive slightly more money per paycheck. However, this has resulted in smaller refunds, or worse, taxpayers finding that they owe money to the government in April. When asked about the upcoming Tax Day and how the new laws are affecting residents, four local tax services businesses—Eigleberry Tax Service and Tax Systems in Gilroy, as well as Mariposa Tax Service and Larry L.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME Assemblymember Robert Rivas in front of the Vista Del Oro apartments in Hollister. The development is newly constructed farmworker housing on San Juan Rd.

Housing bill offered RIVAS’ FIRST LEGISLATIVE MOVE WOULD BOOST FARM HOUSING Jaqueline McCool Reporter

Growing up in farmworker housing in Paicines, California informed how newly elected state Assemblymember Robert Rivas ran his campaign

for his District 30 seat, and now it’s informing one of his first proposed pieces of legislation. The Farmworker Housing Act of 2019 has made its way out of the Assembly housing committee and has now moved on to the committee on local government. The bill creates a streamlined process for farmworker housing to be built on agricultural land. Currently, if a farm

owner wants to build worker housing on farm property, it is a long process of zoning changes, with smaller farm owners unable to provide the kind of housing their workers need. Rivas’ bill would provide exemptions to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for farmworker housing, and does not require property owners to apply for a zoning change. “This is a bill that is not

a mandate at all,” Rivas said in an interview. “It’s a tool kit, it’s an option.” The federal government currently provides a program known as H-2A that allows farm owners to sponsor temporary workers from foreign countries. Rivas said the Farmworker Housing Act would provide an option for the 75 percent of farmworkers who are U.S. residents and for the small farm owners who

cannot afford to participate in H-2A. Rivas said farm owners would be eligible to use state funding to partially fund the projects, allowing them to provide low- or no-rent housing. After being built, the developments would be run by local non-profit organizations The bill is focused on addressing homelessness in the state’s rural counties, ➝ Farm housing, 2

Hollister has money for new school DISTRICT SAYS FAIRVIEW ROAD SCHOOL IS FULLY FUNDED Scott Forstner Reporter

The proposed new $51 million elementary school at Santana Ranch in southeast Hollister is fully funded, according to Hollister School District Board President Stephen Kain. Kain and the rest of the Hollister board were assured that there are

no funding shortfalls by Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Gabriel Moulaison, who gave a “Santana Ranch School Funding” presentation in late March. “As it turns out, we have more money than we actually need” for the new school project, said Kain. “Honestly, I was very pleased with the presentation, and I believe all the board members felt very good about it, too.” The new school has five different funding

sources, including two bonds ($36.2 million from Measure V and $3.4 million from Measure M) and nearly $10 million in developer fees. “Trustee Rob Bernosky had concerns if we had enough money to build the school. That’s what prompted this report from the district,” Kain explained. “I was glad it was done. That made me feel a lot better. I feel a lot more comfortable.” Moulaison did outline a $455,500 difference in

current funds compared to the overall project cost. However, the district plans to make up for that with developer fees. “The district receives $2.5-$3.5 million per year in developer fees,” according to the staff report. “The district will receive enough in developer fees to cover the shortage in three months.” HSD also applied for $1 million in Proposition 51 matching state construction funds, Kain said. That

$9 billion bond act for kindergarten through community college public education facilities passed in November 2016. The target date to open the new primary school is the start of the 2021 school year, Kain said. “As far as shovels in the ground, that should be coming fairly quickly,” he added.

Preparation in Hollister—said their schedules were booked solid. Linda Hyer, owner of NorCal Business and Tax Service in Morgan Hill, said her office is “experiencing a greater volume for sure,” with many “very unhappy clients.” “The tax return looks different,” she said. “Everything looks different. I feel like the Grim Reaper this year. It’s not a fun tax season this time.” Many of Hyer’s local clients who typically receive a refund every year have seen

it eliminated, she said. Those who fear having to owe money tend to wait longer to get their taxes filed, causing an influx of clients turning to tax professionals in the days leading up to the deadline, she added. Hyer advises taxpayers to plan their taxes early, and update their W-4 forms or invest in 401(k) plans. On Tax Day, hours at many U.S. post offices will be extended for last-minute tax filers. As the number of taxpayers who file electronically continues to rise, the number of people filing taxes last-minute has fallen, meaning that

the post office has seen less of a necessity to offer extended Tax Day hours. Only one post office in Santa Clara County will have late hours on April 15: 2200 Eastridge Loop, Suite 1062 in San Jose. The post office will remain open until 7pm, with the last collection at 3pm. The Gilroy, Morgan Hill and Hollister post offices’ last pick up will remain at 5pm To file an extension, visit www. irs.gov/forms-pubs/extensionof-time-to-file-your-taxreturn.

Housing rules could ease ➝ Farm housing, 1

according to the housing act summary. Rivas said Monterey County’s startling numbers of homeless children were a major factor in the creation of the bill. The summary of the legislation states, “In 12 schools in rural Monterey County, more than one out of every five students are homeless. In one school, Sherwood Elementary, that number is nearly 40 percent.” Rivas said a catalyst for the legislation was a 2018 study on farmworker housing in Salinas and the Pajaro Valley. The study found that “47,937 additional units of farmworker housing are needed to alleviate critical overcrowding in farmworker households.” This was just the need found in Salinas and Pajaro Valley, both of which are a part of the assembly district Rivas represents.

Robert Rivas One of the solutions the study outlined was putting an emphasis on permanent family housing that would be available yearround. Rivas explained that the housing act is an attempt to

address that specific piece of the housing problem. Rivas was also inspired by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s State of the State address earlier this year. Rivas said Newsom’s focus on housing in California and the 30th district’s unique needs, led his team to come up with the Farmworker Housing Act. Officials from the cities of Morgan Hill and Hollister, also part of District 30, sent letters of support for the bill, along with Gavilan College and a number of other organizations, municipalities and non-profits. As a first time assemblymember, Rivas said his legislative agenda has been focused on “making sure that all of the bills we introduce [are] seeking to address issues in Assembly District 30, while addressing the values we care about locally.”

‘Best year ever’ for Gilroy Gardens PARK LOOKS TO CONTINUE 2018 POPULARITY Erik Chalhoub Business Editor

WATER EXPLOSION Centerpiece of the new water park is this watery climbing structure. will mark the 20th anniversary of Gilroy Gardens. The celebration will officially kick off in August with a membership drive, and the 2020 season will be filled with what Granter describes as “everything a child would expect at their birthday party,” such as stilt walkers, giant birthday cakes and jugglers. A “full park color palette refresher” is also in the works, she noted. The park will also debut Gardens@Night in 2020, a light and sound show that will take place at night later in the year. The hope is to capture the same success Gilroy Gardens achieved in 2016 with Lumination, an event that celebrated

Chinese culture through light displays and sculptures. While that year netted the highest attendance in park history, the profit margins were minimal, as Gilroy Gardens had to pay the producers $1.2 million, according to Granter. “We’ve been working on this since Lumination, trying to come up with a product that will give us the same excitement in the community, but we own it and it’s ours,” she said. Councilmember Cat Tucker pointed to the num- TODDLER FUN The new park offers safe and ber of seasonal jobs Gilroy wet fun for the youngest visitors.

Gilroy Gardens experienced its “best year ever in 2018,” thanks to a water park expansion that spiked attendance and profits, general manager Barb Granter told the city council April 1. The park, which is operated by a non-profit corporation and sits on land owned by the city, experienced a bump of 50,000 in annual attendance, bringing 2018’s numbers to 457,000, far better than a low of 329,000 in slow years, according to Granter, who presented the annual report to the council. Membership sales increased to 66,400, up from 40,900 in 2017, and the park netted a 12 percent profit margin. Gilroy Gardens’ profit margin has only exceeded 10 percent three times in its 19-year history, she noted. “In the last five years, we’ve had a nice sustaining net profit margin,” Granter said. “It is, in fact, the best we’ve ever grown.” If the park continues to net a 7 to 12 percent profit, it will remain sustainable, according to Granter. “There will be ups and downs, but there is no reason to believe that this property isn’t sustaining,” she said. In 2008, the City of Gilroy purchased the 536 acres of land that includes the park and hillside for $13 million, paying off the park’s remaining bond debt. The city receives a

percentage of the park’s earnings, and in 2017, that number was $164,086, according to the most recent Form 990 available, which lists revenues and expenditures. In 2016, Gilroy Gardens embarked on a 10-year master plan, which, among other things, aims to grow annual attendance to 500,000 by 2022 and attract a larger percentage of children in the 11- to 12-year-old range. As a result, the park opened the $4.5 million expansion of its Water Oasis area in 2018, featuring larger water slides for older children, as well as cabanas and “splash pads.” Such new water attractions have historically resulted in attendance and profit increases for Gilroy Gardens, according to Granter. Park officials are also eyeing the 350 acres that sit behind Gilroy Gardens, possibly opening it to the public for hiking, mountain biking, zip lines and other attractions. More than 93 percent of those who visited the park in 2018 are not Gilroy residents, according to Granter. With growth planned on the horizon, and with nonGilroy residents making up an overwhelming majority of the park’s visitors, Gilroy Gardens’ board of directors commissioned an economic impact study in March, which is expected to be completed within 90 days. No new attractions are lined up for this season, which opened on March 17, Granter said. Instead, park officials are turning their attention to 2020, which

OPINION GUEST VIEW SOFIA RUSTER

Unite to end gun violence in schools

GUEST OPINION DAN WALTERS

Who is an employee?

orena Gonzalez finds herself in an unusual political position this year—and clearly relishes it. Gonzalez, a Democratic assemblywoman from San Diego, is best known as a fierce warrior for worker rights and benefits, and carries a heavy load of legislation, usually on behalf of unions and other advocacy groups. That puts her in constant conflict with business and employer interests. Her legislation routinely appears on the California Chamber of Commerce’s “job killer” list of bills that would, employers say, raise their costs and discourage investment. She’s still fighting those battles, but a landmark decision last year by the state Supreme Court, tightening up the legal definition of an employee, is now sending business lobbyists to her, figuratively with hats in hand, to ask for exemptions from the court’s definition. By applying a three-part test of a worker’s duties, the court’s ruling would shift countless thousands of workers from contractor status to payroll-employee status. Unions and other critics have long complained that rampant “misclassification” has deprived workers of basic rights and benefits, including the ability to unionize. Gonzalez has introduced Assembly Bill 5, which would codify the decision, known colloquially as “Dynamex” for the package delivery company whose workers, having been classified as contractors, sued and won the right to be employees. The key part of the Supreme Court’s “ABC” test—already used in many other states—is the declaration that a worker can be classified as a contractor only if he or she performs work that is outside of the usual course of the employer’s business. Thus, the court ruled, since Dynamex’s delivery drivers are the core of what the company does, they must become employees. Dynamex is widely seen as a blow to the socalled “gig economy” of companies dependent on part-time workers, with ride services such as Lyft

and Uber the best-known examples. Their drivers provide their own vehicles, but the companies make the connection with riders and collect a portion of their fees. Ever since the decision was issued a year ago, employers—and some contract workers— have been pressing for exemptions. A coalition of major business groups, headed by the Chamber of Commerce, pledged to support the bill if Gonzalez would agree to broader exemptions and “provide a more progressive and holistic approach that fits today’s modern workforce.” “The coalition seeks exemptions for workers “who prefer to control their own schedule,” including consultants, travel agents, and truck, taxi and gig economy drivers” and exemptions for “short-term projects and business-to-business contracts.” Gonzalez has given some ground, agreeing to exempt insurance agents, doctors, stockbrokers, investment advisers and some salespersons. But there’s a long line of employers and workers in other sectors seeking similar treatment. They appeared at the bill’s first committee hearing last week, pledging to support the bill if given exemptions. Many of those seeking relief were owner-operators of heavy trucks, who said they prefer the flexibility and independence of working as contractors. “I’m willing to have those discussions,” Gonzalez told the committee. “I’m committed to striking a balance.” However, she said the bill needs to “send a message that rings loud and clear—enough is enough,” about misclassification she said is hurting workers and costing the state billions of dollars in potential tax revenue from payroll work. “Something is wrong with the way we’ve allowed these companies to operate.” The bill cleared the Assembly’s Labor Committee easily, but its final shape is very uncertain.

On the first day of kindergarten, my heart raced. I was just 5, about to be thrown into a world I knew nothing about, and I was terrified. I found I was immediately welcomed to my class and came to know of the rare beauty found in school. My fear was replaced by love and comfort. In the fifth grade, my teacher sat us down to talk about guns. It was December 2012, and the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary had just happened: 28 dead. Our teachers did the best they could to explain to us what had happened— but how do you explain such tragedy to a child of only 10? It was the first time I had heard the words “shooting” and “school” in the same sentence. I felt fear again—not fear of the first day of school but of danger surrounding me as I played in the schoolyard. My sense of comfort was shattered. Now, seven years later, that shock and fear has been replaced by a numb sense of awareness. Since Sandy Hook, there have been at least 239 school shootings. In 2017, 39,773 people were killed by guns in the U.S. The U.S has a gun problem, and that problem has permeated our schools. It feels as if we are trapped in a constant cycle of school shootings, becoming desensitized to the tragedy that surrounds us. It feels as if there is nothing we can do. But there is. I ask you to feel: Feel the shock, the sadness, the outrage. it feels as if we must turn off our emotions in order to preserve our sanity. But we cannot lose hope, we must continue to work to uphold the true ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Capitol Hill feels far away, but as a community we can work to eliminate gun violence. Prevention starts within our schools. Many a time, the perpetrator of a shooting is a young person, a recent or current student. Funding that schools receive for counseling is insufficient. The American School Counselor Association recommends a counselor per every 250 students; California’s ratio stands at 1 for every 760. Outreach makes a difference. Schools in Los Angeles have seen high success from outreach by county mental health professionals, school staff, and law enforcement to identify students that pose potential threats to their school environment. This outreach does not stem from aggression or demonization of at-risk students, but instead the goal is to provide these students and their families with the proper help and services they deserve. We must work with school boards to ensure this type of outreach in all our schools. We must also strive to teach our children necessary social and emotional skills. Communication and conflict resolution can be used as vital skills for students to create connections with others and instill in them empathy for those different from themselves. Communities can work to provide safe spaces for youth, such as teen centers, to provide them with a compassionate and nurturing environment designed to help them grow. And we can advocate. We can turn our anger into action. We can walk, we can write to our representatives in Congress. We can advocate through social media, and we can vote. We students want our voices heard. We want to see ourselves reflected in the decisions made by our elected officials. We want to live, knowing our lives won’t be cut short by an act of senseless violence, knowing what beauty it is to truly learn and live once again in comfort. Sofia Ruster is a student at Oakwood School in Morgan Hill. This is an edited version of a speech that won a local American Association of University Women contest.

The new site plans include four two-story buildings, with a pickup/ dropoff area on Santana Ranch Drive and a fire lane dividing the academic buildings and common areas from the athletic fields and basketball courts. Other school construction

projects on the district’s radar include new gymnasiums at Calaveras, Cerra Vista and Santana Ranch schools for $8 million each. In other Hollister school news, Kain said the board is working on several solutions to student dropoff/pickup safety issues at some school sites. “I just want the community to know that we hear them. This is a situation that needs to be rectified, and we are working on it,” Kain said. “We have some ideas, and we want to implement them by next school year.”

HOLLISTER M.D. HAS NOT YET ENTERED PLEA ON SEX CHARGE Michael Moore Reporter

A local doctor with staff privileges at Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital was charged with misdemeanor sexual battery in Butte County, after police arrested him based on accusations by a female patient there. Dr. Annamalai Ashokan was arraigned on the charge of sexual battery March 22, according to Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey. He has not yet entered a plea. Ashokan’s next hearing is scheduled for May 2 for a plea hearing at the Butte County courthouse. Police in Chico arrested Ashokan Jan. 30 after a female patient reported that he sexually assaulted her during a medical procedure in his office in that city. At the time of his arrest, Ashokan maintained office hours in Chico one day a week but was based in Hollister. The Hazel Hawkins website still lists Ashokan as a pain management doctor on the “Find a doctor” section of the page. Initially after Ashokan’s arrest, prosecutors in Butte County were considering charging him with a felony. However, Ramsey said they filed the lesser misdemeanor charge because “the facts didn’t support a felony.” “The way the law is written, he would have to forcibly restrain her, and that’s not how the facts in this particular case came about,” Ramsey said. In Chico, Ashokan maintained a private practice at Skyway Surgery Center.

Annamalai Ashokan He specializes in pain management at both his Chico and Hollister offices. His Hollister office is listed as Monterey Pain Treatment, is located at 581 McCray St. and he also is listed with the Pacific Pain Treatment Center, 930 Sunnyslope Rd., in Hollister. Police said after Ashokan’s arrest that they don’t think there are any additional victims in Chico. The current accusation is not related to Ashokan’s practice or medical activity in San Benito County. In 2000, Ashokan pleaded no contest in San Benito County to misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a patient/ client, a violation of the state Business and Professions Code, reads a complaint against him found on the Medical Board of California’s website. Subsequently, the Medical Board took administrative action against Ashokan and accused him of sexual misconduct, gross negligence and dishonest and corrupt acts, the state Medical Board’s 2001 complaint states. The Medical Board placed Ashokan on probation for five years as a result of the misconduct, reads the 2001

complaint. The probationary term ended in 2006. Ashokan also surrendered his medical license in the state of New York in 2001. He was placed on five years probation by the state of Maryland Board of Physicians starting in 2002, based on the California case of 2001. Furthermore, Ashokan surrendered his license in the state of Arizona in 2002, and in 2003 was ordered an indefinite suspension of his New Jersey medical license by the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners. On March 7, 2019— weeks after Ashokan was arrested in Chico— an accusation against him was filed with the state Medical Board, according to the board’s website. Details of the accusation are not available on the website. No hearing has been scheduled on the accusation, and the website notes that he has not been found guilty of any charges related to the accusation. A Hazel Hawkins spokesperson previously said the hospital cannot sanction or fire a physician based on allegations that have not yet been ruled on by a court or the state medical board.

Judge might try Yoon Ji murder suspects separately

DEBIT

VICTIM’S HUSBAND CLAIMS HE IS NOTCOMPETENT FOR TRIAL Michael Moore Reporter

Yoon Ji’s husband and the woman accused of helping him murder his wife in San Benito County could be tried separately for the crime in the coming weeks, according to authorities. The murder victim’s husband, Sang Ji, recently claimed he is not mentally competent to stand trial, and a psychological evaluation to determine his competency is underway. Sang Ji, 49, and Jung Choi, 45, remain in custody at San Benito County Jail on suspicion of murder in relation to the December 2017 death of Yoon Ji. Both suspects appeared in court March 29, where defense attorneys filed a motion to try the suspects separately, according to San Benito County District Attorney Candice Hooper. Jung Choi pleaded not

guilty at the March 29 hearing. Her next court date is scheduled for May 1. Sang Ji’s next court date is April 18. A superior court judge will determine if the two suspects are to be tried separately at an upcoming hearing. A judge will also rule on Sang Ji’s competency to stand trial at an upcoming hearing. At the March 29 hearing, the judge ordered a competency evaluation for Sang Ji at the request of his attorney. Sang Ji and Yoon Ji owned Hollister Laundromat before Yoon Ji’s death in late 2017. Sheriff ’s deputies found Yoon Ji’s remains in December 2017 off Salinas Grade Road between San Benito and Monterey counties, according to authorities. The two suspects were arrested immediately after the remains were found. Yoon Ji’s daughter and sister, who live in Los Angeles, reported the woman missing Dec. 2, 2017. The daughter told sheriff’s authorities that she had not heard from her mother for about two weeks, according to police.

The adult children of Yoon Ji and Sang Ji filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against the murder suspects in 2018, winning a default judgment of $20 million in damages. The civil complaint alleges that the parents’ marriage had been on the rocks in the weeks preceding their mother’s death. Sang Ji and Jung Choi conspired to remove more than $175,000 worth of “community property assets” from a safe in the family home in Hollister, and transfer the proceeds to an associate in South Korea. The lawsuit claims the property had belonged jointly to Sang Ji and Yoon Ji, and Sang Ji did not want to divorce his wife of 23 years for fear of losing a portion of these assets. The lawsuit also alleges that Jung Choi and Sang Ji were having an extramarital affair at the time of Yoon Ji’s death. Sheriff ’s deputies have not confirmed details of the death and motive that are alleged in the civil lawsuit.

ON THE RISE Balers junior Drew Barragan has come on strong in her first season with the team, having transferred over from Monte Vista Christian in the off-season. Barragan has made an impact both offensively and defensively, which has been critical to the Balers’ success. SOFTBALL

Drew comes through BARRAGAN’S EMERGENCE COMES AT THE PERFECT TIME FOR BALERS emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

When Julia Woeste suffered a broken wrist at the start of the season, the San Benito High softball team faced a dire prospect: It was suddenly without its top pitcher. In the world of competitive softball, a team without a solid pitcher is as good as finished. Fortunately for the Haybalers, they had a talented newcomer waiting in the wings in junior Drew Barragan, the daughter of Balers coach Andrew Barragan. “We’d be in big trouble without her,” said Andrew, whose statement was a more of a matter of fact that opinion. “Drew has really taken the bull by the horns and been successful so far.” Barragan has come on particularly strong in the last couple of weeks, pitching back-to-back shutouts against Watsonville and Santa Catalina, the latter result coming on April 2. San Benito High entered the week at 9-3 overall and 3-2 in the Pacific Coast League’s Gabilan Division. Both of the Haybalers’ losses have come by one run, a 7-6 decision to Salinas and a 4-3 defeat to Notre Dame-Salinas. Barragan didn’t have her best outing against the Spirits; however, the talented right-hander has generally found her rhythm and feels comfortable and confident going forward. “I’m definitely doing way better than I thought I would (before the season started),” she said. “I definitely have a comfort level being at a new school and playing on a new team. At first, I was a little shaky when I went out to pitch, but as I’ve gotten to bond

with the girls and spend time together as a team, that has made me feel better. I know if someone does hit the ball, there is someone to back me up.” Barragan who attended her first two years of high school at Monte Vista Christian, has developed a rapport with Balers catcher Amber Rodriguez, who plays excellent defense and has a rifle for an arm which makes baserunners think twice about trying to steal a base. “No one notices when I get kind of down on myself or if I miss a pitch call, but I know Amber sees that,” Barragan said. “She’ll encourage me and tell me that ‘You’re good and you’re the best one out here now.’ That pumps me up and helps me stay in it.” Barragan utilizes a solid fastball with her best pitch, an offspeed changeup, which is approximately 8 to 10 mph slower than her fastball. Barragan holds her off-speed pitch by tucking her middle and index fingers, almost in a way someone throws a knuckleball, Andrew said. “It’s a nasty pitch,” Andrew said. “She’s had that pitch since she was 12 and has really come along nicely with it. It takes a toll on her fingers, though.” When Drew keeps her best pitch down in the zone, hitters get so far out in front on their front foot that Andrew said, “it’s even comical sometimes, it’s that good.” Even though Drew doesn’t have the velocity of some of the top pitchers in the Central Coast Section, when she locates her pitches, they’re hard to hit. That’s because Barragan puts tremendous spin on the ball, resulting in the batter unable to make solid contact more often than not. Barragan entered this week’s play with a 6-2 record, having pitched 51 2/3 innings with 47 strikeouts. Barragan has allowed 56 hits and walked 16 in that span, numbers she would like to decrease. However, despite the amount of baserunners that have gotten on in her starts, Barragan has done well limiting the damage.

DELIVERING Drew Barragan has emerged as a No. 1-type pitcher in her first year at San Benito. The junior

right-hander is the daughter of Balers coach Andrew Barragan and has strengthened the team’s pitching corps. A perfect example of that came in San Benito’s 2-0 win over Santa Catalina, which put runners on second and third base with one out and had the potential go-ahead run at the plate in the top of the seventh inning. That’s when second baseman Dominique Monteon acrobatically snagged a liner for the second out of the inning. “When that ball was hit and I saw Dom catch it, I thought to myself, ‘Thank God,’” Barragan said. “I knew she’d have it because Dom is a great second baseman, but it takes a really good player to make a play like that.” Moments later, Barragan induced a fly out to end the game. When runners get on base, Barragan makes sure to relax. “I’m not really the type to get that nervous,” she said. “When I’m in those kind of situations I just try to get more relaxed than I already am, but at the same time, I still

have a good amount of intensity. I take a step back off the mound, start breathing and picture me and the catcher. It’s just me and her and I’m pitching like I know how to pitch. If there is too much in your head, you’re going to make a bunch of mental mistakes.” Both coach and daughter expressed pleasant surprise with Drew’s offensive production. Among the regulars in the starting lineup, Barragan has teamhigh marks in batting average (.514), hits (19), on-base percentage (.561), while ranking second in OPS (1.183) and doubles (four). “I feel it’s a big accomplishment,” she said. “I went into it (the season) thinking I would just be a pitcher, but when he put me up to bat and I started hitting, I thought to myself, ‘OK, this might work out, too.’” Andrew said the focus Drew put on pitching could’ve taken away from her hitting, but that has

not been the case so far this season. “Drew has always been a good hitter, but did I know at this point in time that she would lead the team in hitting and hits? Absolutely not,” he said. “What that tells me is she’s focused and determined to help get this team to another CCS title game.” The Balers saw exactly where they stood Wednesday when they played defending CCS Division I champion Gilroy (this article went to press before the start of the game). The dynamics of a parent coaching his or her child is pretty commonplace in youth leagues and high schools in America. While it makes for quality time for the parent and child, it also poses challenges. Like most coaches, Andrew knows he has to be harder on Drew than any other player on the team so there won’t be a hint of whispers of favoritism going around. Drew knows that, too.

Balers aim to finish season strong SAN BENITO HIGH BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM HAS SOLID SENIORS, LED BY BRENNAN VENTURA, CHAD CHAMPION emanuel lee Sports Editor

HANDS UP Miguel Siniguian and Iean Parker go up for a block in earlier action this season

against Christopher High, while Chad Champion, below, hits over the block.

and digs up balls that keep points alive. Even though the Balers are not having the season they anticipated—they entered the week at 2-4 in Gabilan Division action—they’re hoping to close out the season strong. Champion and Ventura have developed a chemistry on the court that results in strong communication and play. “I always have someone to set it to because I know Chad is a reliable hitter in the front or back row,” Brennan Ventura said. “So there will be certain times I might not make the best play, but Chad will be there to bail me out or the team out because he can keep the point alive. We have a rhythm down and we know what the other is going to do most of the time.” Champion has had a more productive season in 2019 compared to last year, due in part to having another year of experience under his belt. Once he sees the ball set his way, Champion looks at the defense and starts analyzing how to hit and where to go with the ball. “Once I see the ball come my way, I start my approach and look to see who they have blocking and where the back row is covering,” he said. “If there is a big block, I’ll try to hit away from it or try to hit it off the side of their hands.”

Robert Eliason

Brennan Ventura and Chad Champion first started playing basketball together before making the transition to another sport on the hardwood—volleyball. Now in the twilight of their high school careers, the San Benito High seniors are cherishing every moment they have left playing for the Haybalers. “The highlight of my season is getting closer with all of my teammates and having a fun time, win or lose,” said Champion, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound outside hitter. “Some of my favorite sports memories have come in the last two years playing on the volleyball team.” Ventura, the son of Balers coach David Ventura, has been a solid setter for the last couple of years. Brennan counts the team’s four-set win over Monterey on April 3 as the best performance of the season, in part to San Benito havng to overcome the loss of Champion late in the match to come out on top. “The way we played all around was amazing,” he said. “The team camaraderie was good, we didn’t

put our heads down and we fought to the very last point. Even when Chad got hurt in the last set, we had to put another player in and we still finished the set strong and played amazing.” In addition to Champion and Ventura, David Ventura said players like Dylan Perry, Jakob Young, Cyrus Turner and Miguel Siniguian have also made an impact. Young, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker, is in his first season with the program and a pretty raw talent. However, David Ventura said Young has improved over the course of the season and has contributed in a variety of ways. Perry has also been a difference-maker as a middle blocker for the second straight year, whether it’s on the attack or defensively with blocks and getting his hands on balls at the opponent’s point of attack. Siniguian is a junior utility who possesses tremendous ability. “He can play the outside, has amazing hops and looks like he’s floating in the air sometimes,” David Ventura said. “He’s one of the shortest guys on the team, but he can jump higher than anybody.” Turner, a junior libero, has elevated his game and become a sparkplug for the team. Turner leads vocally and makes solid passes
