Trump tweets, feds stonewall fast train STATE GETS NO RESPONSE FOR TWO MONTHS Jaqueline McCool Reporter

The $79 billion High-Speed Rail that promises to connect Northern and Southern California could be stalled in its tracks by a new obstacle: the Trump administration.

The Federal Rail Administration (FRA) has refused to meet with the California High-Speed Rail Authority following a series of tweets from President Donald Trump in which he threatened to pull federal funding for the project, according to a High-Speed Rail 2019 project update report May 1. “On Feb. 19, 2019, the

FRA administrator notified the Authority of the FRA’s intent to rescind the $929 million in federal FY10 grant funds,” said the update. “The FRA also indicated that it was evaluating taking back the $2.5 billion in ARRA funds that were awarded to the Authority and which has been fully expended in compliance

with federal requirements and deadlines.” The FRA did not comment on the pulled funding, but a source in the administration told this newspaper that the FRA is still reviewing the HighSpeed Rail Authority’s response to the notice of pulled funding. High-speed rail in California has been the

subject of controversy for more than a decade, but as the project progresses, the High-Speed Rail Authority has continued to modify plans and attempt to appease critics. The train would run through Santa Clara County, which already has local officials talking about massive downtown revitalization from a new

High-Speed Rail station in Gilroy which would promise a 25-minute commute to Silicon Valley. The authority released the 2019 project report May 1. The update addresses funding shortages, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Feb.12 State of the State address and the Trump administration’s ➝Speed Rail, 4

Only an hour into the opening day of the Downtown Hollister Certified Farmers’ Market on May 1, a line of people waiting to purchase a baked potato at Ivan’s Baked Potatoes stretched a quarter of a block. San Benito Street, closed off for two blocks, was overflowing with hordes of people, making it difficult to navigate from one end of the market to the other. Market manager Corey Shaffer said the market was “booming,” even before its 3pm start time. “It’s the community that brings it together,” she said. “This is a great ➝ Farmers Market, 2

Mayor Ignacio Velazquez is moving forward with his plans to appeal the Hollister Planning Commission’s approval of a tentative map for the 400-block projects in Hollister. The projects include the Community Foundation’s non-profit offices and a mixed-use condominium building on San Benito Street at Fourth Street. On April 11, the mixed-use space and foundation received approval by the planning commission, which approved a tentative map, conditional use

permit and minor subdivision for the Del Curto Brothers and Community Foundation of San Benito County. Prior to the planning commission decision, Velazquez sent a letter through his lawyers, Robert Perlmutter and Edward Shexnayder at Shute, Mihaly and Wineberger, claiming that the decision violated a number of environmental and city codes. When the sale of the property on the 400 block neighboring The Vault, Velazquez’s banquet hall, was first approved, Velazquez gathered signatures to get a referendum on the ballot that would overturn the decision. Although the petition gathered enough valid

BUSINESS IS BLOOMING Hollister Farmers Market manager Corey Shaffer couldn’t resist buying flowers on opening day.

Weekly market opens ➝ Farmers Market, 1

time for family members and people to get together and see our local downtown.” The market, which typically attracts 5,000 people every week, now runs Wednesdays through Sept. 25, 3-7:30pm on San Benito Street, between Fifth and Seventh streets. It features a variety of produce, prepared foods, flowers, baked goods, crafts and more, as well as live entertainment and activities for children. Shaffer became manager of the market in January after Tammy Renz retired. “It takes a team to make this run, and I really want to thank the people that supported me to make this a successful event,” she said. While the market consists mostly of San Benito County vendors, businesses from Watsonville, Moss Landing, Morgan Hill, Salinas and other places take part in the weekly event. Shaffer said that despite having one less block open for the market this year, there are still the same amount of vendors participating, with 110 spots available.

“We are all closer together,” she said. “We just are cozier than in the past.” With plans for a mixed-use residential/commercial building in limbo on the 400 block, Shaffer said the market dropped that block from its layout to avoid being in a construction site, should the project move forward. Shaffer said she heard from many businesses downtown about how the noon closing time of San Benito Street had hurt their ability to attract customers during lunchtime. This year, the closing time was shifted to 1pm. Also, Hollister Downtown Association members are able to put up free booths in the market, with seven taking advantage of it so far, according to Shaffer. “It’s going to be a humongous help to all these businesses downtown here,” she said. “We had some of our brick-and-mortars saying they felt blocked and left out of the market. This gives them the opportunity to capture the people down here.” But for Jack Barbieri, owner of the Hollister House at 500 San

Benito St., the later closing time does not make a difference. “The streets are still shut down from 1 to 9,” he said. “That’s our lunch and dinner. The city council doesn’t want to believe us downtown businesses when we tell them that it hurts our business.” Barbieri said he’s tried to put a booth outside his business during the market in past years, but was told he could only sell food two blocks away. “I opted not to join the HDA this year because they don’t do us any favors,” he said. More security is needed, according to Barbieri, citing an incident of teenagers loitering in front of his restaurant and threatening employees when they were asked to leave. Carlos Hernandez, owner of Heavenly Bakery on 601 San Benito St., said he’s had a positive experience with the market. With a booth set up outside his business selling baked goods, Hernandez said many market attendees come back on other days to check out his business. “We do pretty good with the farmers’ market,” he said. “We like the opportunity to engage with more customers.”

The San Benito County Office of Education hosted the annual countywide Certificated and Classified Employee of the Year celebration on April 25 at the Hollister Veterans Memorial Building. The 2019 Employee of the Year celebration recognized individuals from school districts in the county at the Hollister Veterans Memorial Building. Colleagues, administrators, friends and family were in attendance to join the celebration. Certificates were presented by representatives of State Sen. Anna Caballero, District 12; Assemblyman Robert Rivas, District 30; the San Benito County Board of Supervisors; and the City of Hollister. The San Benito County Office of Education provided engraved plaques to each recipient. Guests enjoyed treats from a dessert table, including chocolates donated by local confectionary MARICH.

Free Lancers receive newspaper awards MICHAEL MOORE, EMANUEL LEE RECOGNIZED BY MEDIA PEERS Staff Reports

Free Lance Sports Editor Emanuel Lee was a winner at the May 4 California Journalism Awards, presented by the California News Publishers Association. Lee won fourth-place recognition in the Sports Feature Writing category for a story on “AKA, House of Champions” in the Free Lance in 2018. Lee also won a Sports Feature Writing Award for a Free Lance article

in 2016. The Free Lance also won three CNPA awards for 2017, for indepth reporting and editorial writing. A Free Lance sister newspaper, the Gilroy Dispatch, was awarded First Place for General Excellence, the highest honor for California newspapers, in the annual journalism in the weekly newspaper circulation 11,001-25,000 category. The judge wrote of the Gilroy Dispatch: “Solid writing and very newsy stories. I like the way they approach some governmental coverage with real people

and not a recitation of events. There is nice ad support. The sports stories and photos were engaging and a real bright spot.” The Free Lance and its San Benito magazine share news editorial, advertising and design staff with the Gilroy Dispatch and the Morgan Hill Times. Reporter Michael Moore won a secondplace award for InDepth Reporting, for a series of stories in the Dispatch on the death of Steven Juarez in police custody. Several of these articles appeared in the Free Lance.

hostility toward the rail project. Following the State of the State speech, Newsom engaged with Trump on Twitter, following Trump’s tweets that threatened to pull federal funding that had been allocated to the rail project. Lipkin said these weren’t empty threats and that the federal government has not engaged with the authority in the months since the address. The silence from the federal government was addressed in the update report and identified as a risk to the project’s completion. Lipkin told this paper that the federal representatives have not showed up to scheduled meetings with the Authority and are not reviewing federally required environmental projects that would move the rail along. ”At some point, they will become big issues,” said Lipkin. “This disengagement by the FRA represents an unprecedented federal government action to cripple the advancement of a project it has helped fund. On March 4, 2019, Authority CEO Brian Kelly sent two letters to the FRA seeking re-engagement and the restoration of a functional partnership on this project,” the update said. “Those letters have been unanswered by the FRA after nearly two months,” according to the report. “The 2018 State Audit recommended that the Authority develop a contingency plan if at any time the ARRA grant requirements could not be achieved. It will not be

possible for the Authority to develop or finalize a contingency plan without proactive engagement by the FRA.”

Routes and rights-of-way

While the Central Valley line construction gets increased attention, the authority is continuing work on the preparation for the other lines, including the “valley to valley” line from San Jose through Bakersfield. The authority has long planned for a single stop in the South County in Gilroy; however, the rail line will run through Morgan Hill and Pacheco Pass. These plans have not changed, but the exact recommended route has not yet been selected. The Northern California recommended routes are set for release in July, according to Lipkin. Gilroy has remained the South County hub in the recent iterations of the rail plan. “Positioned in a key location to become a central transportation hub, the City of Gilroy lies approximately 32 miles south of the City of San Jose. At the southern tip of Santa Clara County, Gilroy is not only the first Bay Area stop on the Silicon Valley to Central Valley Line; it is also a gateway north to Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area and provides access to future rail service south into the Central Coast,” read the update. “High-speed rail development in Gilroy is expected to spur increases in transit, additional rail service, and local and

regional development. While the plans in Northern California have not fallen behind the projected timeline, complications with federal funding, getting environmental documents approved by the federal government, and additional focus on the Central Valley line threaten the timing of the work in the Bay Area.

Funding and timelines

The portion of the project that would run through Pacheco Pass is a major funding challenge for the project, which has never had all of the money necessary for completion. “The availability of sufficient funding presents the biggest challenge to the authority and the greatest risk to delivering both the Silicon Valley to Central Valley Line (Valley to Valley) and Phase 1,” read the update. “This challenge extends further than the present threat from the FRA, although the FRA’s current position compounds the problem.” The project update provides new numbers for the cost of the Central Valley and Silicon Valley lines. The base price for the line that would run from San Jose to Bakersfield is estimated at $31.3 billion with a high projection of $36.8 billion. Phase one of the HighSpeed Rail project, which includes the Central Valley line completion and Silicon Valley line attachment, is now projected to have a base cost of $79.1 billion and a high cost of $98.1 billion.

Are charter schools best alternative?

GUEST OPINION DAN WALTERS

California’s poverty puzzle

alifornia, as we all should know by now, has the nation’s highest rate of poverty as measured by the Census Bureau’s supplemental—and most accurate—methodology. The primary reason is California’s horrendously high cost of living, particularly for housing, that overwhelms the relatively meager incomes of millions of California families. Even more troubling is a calculation by the Public Policy Institute of California, using similar methodology, that another 20 percent of Californians are living in nearpoverty. Thus, about 40 percent of the state’s population, some 16 million of us, are in deep financial distress. Two other pertinent data points: A third of Californians are enrolled in Medi-Cal, the statefederal system of health care for the poor, and 60 percent of California’s K-12 students are deemed at risk of academic failure due to poverty, lack of English skills or both. Only a few million Californians receive welfare, so the vast majority of our poor are in working families, giving rise to another feature of California’s economic stratification—big gaps in incomes. Jonathan Lansner, an economics writer for the Orange County Register and its sister newspapers, plumbed that phenomenon by feeding 2018 federal data on wages and salaries into a spreadsheet. His findings, published last month, were that wages for those in the 75th income percentile “ran 72 percent greater than the median in California, a spread that topped all states ahead of No. 2 New York at 68.1 percent and No. 3 Virginia at 67.7 percent. And it was far above the 50-state median of 57 percent.” Furthermore, Lanser wrote, “this wage gap is rising, especially in California. A decade earlier, the 75th percentile job statewide paid 66 percent more than the median wage.” Lansner’s research underscored the irony

of a deep blue state, whose politicians constantly express sympathy for the poor, having the widest income disparity in the nation, far more than those in more conservative states. The political response to California’s income gap has largely been confined to efforts to raise incomes of the poor through such gestures as raising the minimum wage and creating a state-level “earned income tax credit” that sends checks to low-income working families. But Lansner’s data indicate that the gap is still widening and another new report implies that raising the minimum wage may be backfiring by reducing job creation. The UC-Riverside’s Center for Economic Forecasting and Development studied recent increases in the minimum wage at the behest of the California Restaurant Association and concluded that it has markedly slowed job growth in that industry. “Data analysis suggests that while the restaurant industry in California has grown significantly as the minimum wage has increased, employment in the industry has grown more slowly than it would have without minimum wage hikes,” the report concluded. “The slower employment is nevertheless real for those workers who may have found a career in the industry. And when the next recession arrives, the higher real minimum wage could increase overall job losses within the economy and lead to a higher unemployment rate than would have been the case without the minimum wage increases.” Christopher Thornberg, the center’s director and author of the study, said the rapid pace of minimum wage increases “is creating certain negative consequences for smaller businesses and people who need the most help rising out of poverty.” That captures the dilemma of California’s persistent poverty and demonstrates the unintended consequences of trying to reduce it by political decree, rather than by encouraging job creation and work-oriented education and reducing housing costs.

In education circles in California and nationally, the fundamental question is this: How do we ensure all public schools are high quality? In Sacramento, much of the debate focuses on charter schools, as the Legislature considers several related bills related to them. What’s too often lost in the discussion is the fate of California’s 6.2 million public school students. For too long, public schools have underserved segments of our student population. The shortcomings of the public school system have created a void, one which others have tried to fill. The results have been decidedly mixed. But the mere existence of charters highlights the desire for strong schools that capably serve and provide equitable access to a diverse student population. California has more charter schools than any state in the union. Yet our haphazard charter laws force school boards to grapple with loopholes and unintended consequences, too often creating havoc in our state. Can charter schools be part of this solution? Absolutely. But that solution should be strategic and consider the health of the entire public education system. School board members and county office of education trustees are the primary authorizers for charter school petitions. They also act as stewards of the districts and county offices that are impacted by charter schools. Schools have insufficient resources to begin with. So it’s critical that school board members have the authority to consider the district as a whole. They must be given the power to focus on school quality, access, equity, opportunity and good governance. However, existing charter law compels authorizers to ignore critical factors such as the financial impact on existing schools. In some districts, multiple charter schools are approved on appeal, overriding the denial by the local school board. In others, districts are forced to accept charters within their boundaries that have been approved by school boards in different towns or even different counties. This is compounded by the growing pressure districts face, given that funding hasn’t kept up with sharply rising costs. As a result, districts must make difficult tradeoffs that potentially hurt some of the very students the Charter Schools Act was intended to help. Trustees have an invaluable perspective on charter legislation that, if passed, would need to be implemented by school boards. In a recent report, the California School Boards Association argues for: • Prohibiting changes to the charter petition on appeal; • Providing districts with more time to act on a petition; • Requiring that petitioners demonstrate why their proposed model cannot be accomplished within the school district structure; • Evaluating charter school impact on districts; and • Limiting out-of-district charters in which one school district approves charters located in another district. The study has gained additional resonance as pending legislation intensifies the debate over charters. We must recognize that quality charters have a role in public education. But we also need to insist that California correct the shortcomings of the charter authorization process and account for the impact of charters on students in neighboring schools and throughout the district. If we let the quest for better student outcomes guide our work, we will find the answers everyone is seeking. Emma Turner is California School Boards Association president and vice president of La Mesa-Spring Valley School District in San Diego County. She wrote this commentary for CALmatters, a non-profit journalism project in Sacramento.

City Council, mayor head to showdown ➝ 400 block, 1

Erik Chalhoub

signatures, California Attorney General Xavier Beccera said the decision could not be subject to a citywide vote. Velazquez abstains on voting on decisions regarding the 400 block, but has sent two letters to the planning commission and spoken out against the issue “as a private citizen.” He left the room for the vote at the May 6 council meeting, which set the date for the appeal hearing of the planning commission decision. Any city resident can appeal a planning commission decision within 15 days. At the meeting the council decided on the date that the appeal would be heard. The 400-block decision was also discussed in closed session ahead of the public council meeting. The council agreed to the appeal date hearing on May 20. This is when the council will review the planning commission’s decision and make a determination on whether or not to uphold the decision. Velazquez previously told the Free Lance that if the decision is upheld, he plans to sue the city to overturn the 400-block plans. Velazquez and his lawyers believe the project’s approval is unlawful because “the project violates the maximum residential density for the project site; the project does not qualify for a density bonus; the project requires full CEQA review; (and) the city should comply with the state law requirements for street vacation.” The city’s planning department replied to each of Velazquez’s points, but he believed they did not offer significant explanations.

SCHOLARSHIP SURPRISE Gavilan student Stephanie Arriaga, of Tres Pinos, a server at Loma Clara,

gets a $1,000 scholarship from the Edward Boss Prado Foundation.

Senior residence opens HOLLISTER STAFF HELPS AT MORGAN HILL SITE Erik Chalhoub Business Editor

Morgan Hill’s newest senior community threw a grand opening bash April 30, and the apartments are filling up quickly. Residents began moving into Loma Clara Senior Living, located at 16515 Butterfield Blvd., in February. San Jose-based SBI Builders broke ground on the 62,000-square-foot project in late 2017. The two-story, Craftsman-style building was designed by HPI Architecture. It consists of 67 residential units, 25 of which are for residents with memory care needs, and include studio, onebedroom and two-bedroom units. Residents have access to amenities such as a cafe bistro, library, movie theater, fitness

center, and an outdoor courtyard with barbecue. Loma Clara is owned by Irvinebased Steadfast Companies, and managed by Integral Senior Living, which is headquartered in Carlsbad, where it manages 80 properties in 18 states. Monthly rates for assisted living units range from $3,995 for a studio to $6,795 for a twobedroom apartment. Tim Batton, senior executive director of Integral Senior Living, said the demand for senior living facilities is increasing as baby boomers age. “Morgan Hill has a significant senior population that was underserved,” he said. Loma Clara offers a number of activities for residents through the Vibrant Life program, as well as a memory support program called Generations.

“What really sets us apart are our programs and offerings,” Batton said. He added that many residents have moved in from not only Morgan Hill but Gilroy, Hollister and San Jose. Nancy Taylor moved into Loma Clara in March after living in Northern California for most of her life. She said she found Morgan Hill to be a “charming” town, and praised the staff that work at the property. “I think it’s very oriented to the residents,” she said. “It gives me a sense of safety and belonging. I’m able to do what I want to do. It’s a beautiful, beautiful building.” Collette Gray, CEO and COO of Integral Senior Living, said Loma Clara has already established a small, tight-knit

community that hosts frequent get-togethers. “It is an honor to join the vibrant Morgan Hill community, and we’re grateful for the warm reception,” she said. In a surprise announcement, Tres Pinos resident Stephanie Arriaga, who works as a server at Loma Clara, received a $1,000 scholarship from the Edward Boss Prado Foundation during the ceremony. Cecelia Ponzini, co-founder of the foundation, said her mother-inlaw is a resident at Loma Clara. While having lunch there, the two were waited on by Arriaga, and were so impressed by her service that Ponzini said she wanted to give back to her through the foundation. Arriaga is a student at Gavilan College, where she is studying cosmetology.

SCHOOL SAFETY Congestion at beginning and end of school days, as shown here

at Hardin Elementary, are focus of county school board concerns.

Scott Forstner Reporter

Hollister School District board president Stephen Kain has made it a top priority to help alleviate the traffic safety issues at local schools during dropoff and pickup times. Kain, who has been part of a committee trying to identify the best corrective measures to solve the lingering issues brought up parents at meetings, said some will go into effect before the start of the 201920 school year. He said the pickup time after the end of the school day is where the bigger problem lies. At Marguerite Maze Middle School and Gabilan Hills Elementary School (which shares a campus with Hollister Dual Language Academy), Kain has advocated staggered start and release times by about an hour to reduce the number of vehicles in the school zone at one time. “That way we will be able to have pickup areas for students at both schools at different times,” said Kain, noting another plan is to put in a 6-foot-high fence along the walkway on the lefthand side from Maze to Gavilan Hills. “What we’re trying to do is spread these people out and eliminate some of the congestion.” Kain said the plan is to implement these traffic calming measures by the start of the next school year. “We will also have letters going home

to parents to let them know about the areas for dropoff and pickup,” he added. The board has been tackling the issue since several parents have brought up growing safety and traffic concerns at recent school board meetings. Trustees asked district staff to provide an assessment at the schools where it has become a problem, such as Gabilan Hills/HDLA, Calavera/Accelerated Achievement Academy, R.O. Hardin/Hollister Prep School and Maze. District Director of Facilities John Teliha gave an “ Pickup/ DropOff and Traffic Conditions” update to the school board at its April 23 meeting. In that assessment, Teliha identified various factors causing the problems: • Parents arriving 45 minutes to one hour before dismissal; • Vehicles blocking access to school parking lot and traffic on roadways adjacent to school sites; • Roads in front of schools are “very busy”; • Limited parking and sidewalks on roadways adjacent to some schools; • Vehicles parked illegally and violating traffic laws; • Parents parking and walking into the school site to pick up students; • School parking lots are not large enough to accommodate vehicles; and • Not enough staff to assist in traffic flow. Staff and school site administrators met to discuss possible ways to improve conditions and prioritized those

improvements based on difficulty of implementation. District staff has sent letters to parents, drawn out pickup/ dropoff maps, provided safe routes to schools and promoted walking and riding school buses. Staff has also met with the Hollister Police Department and with City of Hollister and San Benito County Traffic Engineers. Before the 201920 school year, district staff plans to further assess start and end times and additional busing; improving parking and traffic markings and signs; and whether intra-district transfers and new school boundaries would help alleviate the traffic problem, according to Teliha’s report. Kain is not a fan of one traffic-calming measure implemented by city officials in front of Maze, where it is now illegal to make a left-hand turn off Meridian into the school. “If the parents can’t make that left-hand turn, they are parking on the right and the kids have to walk across along four lanes of traffic. I’m not happy with that personally,” Kain said. “We were not consulted on that. The city hired an agency to go over traffic flow, and this was their recommendation.” Kain believes the better method is by staggering start and end times on campuses that have more than one school program and adding dropoff and pickup areas. “We’re working on those things,” Kain said. “We do have a plan.”

that there is no connection between the false alarm and the other information in this message.” There was no other interruptions to the May 2 school day, which was a minimum day ending at 1:45pm. “We are consistently reflecting on our procedures and protocols based on current events to provide the safest learning environment possible for all students,” Tennenbaum said. “We appreciate the communication from our parents, guardians and school community, as the open dialogue is critical.” Students who did not attend school Friday, May 3, were marked as absent, “but there will not be punitive measures taken as a result of those absences, due to the situation,” according to Tennenbaum.

Local school and police officials investigated a rumor swirling around San Benito High School’s campus May 2 of a “potential school shooting on campus.” “An immediate, thorough investigation took place in conjunction with the Hollister Police Department, and we confirmed that the rumors lacked credibility,” said Superintendent Shawn Tennenbaum in a May 3 email to parents, students and school community. “Despite this, principal Adrian Ramirez worked to ensure that the appropriate precautions were taken and that we consistently communicated with families and the

community to assure that our established protocols were being followed.” Hollister police officers, including Police Chief David Westrick, provided additional campus security May 2 after being notified of the possible threat to students and staff. District staff became aware of the situation after hearing “secondand third-hand reports of a rumor that was overheard,” according to a May 2 announcement posted on the school website. “Regardless of the lack of any credibility, we are working closely with the Hollister Police Department to ensure that all appropriate precautions are being taken,” read the district’s report. “The campus also, coincidentally, had a false fire alarm at approximately 11:45am this morning.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Man pleads not guilty to teen’s murder JOSE BARAJAS WILL RETURN TO COURT ON MAY 23 Staff report

A Hollister man accused of killing 19-year-old Ariana Zendejas pleaded not guilty to the charges against him at a May 2 arraignment hearing at the San Benito County Courthouse, according to authorities.

Jose Antonio Barajas faces six felony charges in relation to the Aug. 1, 2014 shooting near B and West streets that ended in Zendejas’ death: one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle. Barajas allegedly opened fire with a handgun after chasing the victims’ vehicle, which contained four

people including Zendejas, according to police. One of the victims’ vehicle’s occupants was a man with whom Barajas had been recently quarreling. The attempted murder and kidnapping charges are related to the occupants of the victims’ vehicle and the car in which Barajas was riding when the chase and shooting occurred, according to court files.

Barajas’ next hearing is scheduled for 9am May 23, to set a trial date and discuss the filing of any other motions, according to San Benito County Assistant District Attorney Ellen Campos. Barajas fled to Mexico shortly after the shooting, allegedly forcing Vanessa Flores-Ibarra to go with him, according to police. Flores-Ibarra later left

Barajas and surrendered to U.S. border patrol authorities in February 2015. Barajas was arrested July 12, 2018, in Guadalajara, Mexico in relation to the Hollister shooting. He was deported from Mexico and flown to San Jose, where he was transferred to the San Benito County Jail. Barajas remains in local custody as he awaits trial.

TRUE PLAYMAKER Amber Rodriguez, a San Benito High senior catcher, has hit six home runs this season after not totaling any in the previous two seasons. The Weber State-signee has done a remarkable job of calling pitches, making adjustments at the plate and leading the defense. SPORTS SHORTS Track and Field

emanuel lee Sports Editor

Amber Rodriguez entered the season without a home run to her credit. Despite being a proficient hitter, the San Benito High senior catcher would never be mistaken for someone who could hit the long ball. Until now. Rodriguez, a Weber State-signee, has six home runs this season, or six more than she had in her previous two years combined (she transferred into San Benito High at the start of her sophomore year). “She’s attacking the ball if it’s anywhere near the (strike) zone,” Haybalers coach Andrew Barragan said. “If you look at all of her home runs, most of the balls pitched to her have been up in the zone. But she’s the best high fastball pitch, out of the zone hitter I’ve ever seen. She’s hitting home runs from balls up and out of the zone because they’re trying to get her to pop up. But her hands are so fast it kind of reminds me of Callee Heen (the former San Benito standout who is now starring at Hawaii) and how she hit that high fastball. Amber has got the quickest hands from a right-handed batter I’ve seen in a long time. She is good at reading and waiting for that mistake pitch.”

The Balers entered the week at 15-9 overall and 6-4 in Pacific Coast League Gabilan Division play. Winning a league title looks unlikely. However, victories against Notre Dame-Salinas and Gilroy this week would give Balers coach Andrew Barragan piece of mind as he attends the Central Coast Section seeding meeting on Sunday. Rodriguez has been nothing short of outstanding this season, as she leads the team in average (.458), hits (33), RBIs (22), doubles (12), slugging (.875) and OPS (1.356). Her six home runs is one fewer than the rest of the team combined. While Rodriguez has started every game this season, the same can’t be said of junior Julia Woeste, who suffered a broken right forearm in the first game of the season after getting hit by a pitch. Woeste worked hard and returned to game action against Salinas High on April 15. Woeste, who was projected to be the team’s top pitcher at the start of the season, knows it’s only a matter of time before she gets back to the form prior to the injury. “It’s all in my mind,” she said. “I would say I just need to get my confidence back. I can do everything perfectly fine, and I really want to get better at hitting and pitch selection.” Woeste utilizes a drop ball that she throws around the same velocity as her fastball; however, it sinks as it approaches home plate, inducing numerous groundouts. It’s been a long road back for Woeste, who was determined to return well before the season ended. Woeste reached that mark

San Benito High had several topnotch performers in last week’s Pacific Coast League’s Masters Meet. On the boys side, Dillon Engler swept the hurdles events for the second week in a row. One week after doubling up in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles in the PCAL Gabilan Division Finals, Engler repeated that feat and had a personalrecord (PR) to go along with it. The senior went sub 15 seconds in the 110 for the first time in his career, finishing in 14.99 seconds. He also dominated the 300 hurdles race, winning in a time of 40.13 seconds. Isaac Gonzales smashed his previous PR to win the discus in 144-5 1/2 feet. Gonzalez’ previous PR was 142-11, accomplished twice in April. On the girls side, Julia Hicks was equally dominant, winning both the shot put and discus. Hicks nailed a PR of 36 feet, 10.5 inches in the shot put and went 105-5 in the discus. Mia Villegas took second in the 400-meter run in 1:02.49, Hailey Cross took second in the 800 in 2:22.22 and Ellie Miller finished second in the high jump at 4-10.

RODRIGUEZ MASHING AT THE PLATE WITH SIX HOMERS; WOESTE RETURNS

HAPPY COMEBACK Balers junior Julia Woeste has returned from a broken forearm she

suffered in the first game of the season. Woeste will make an impact as a pitcher and hitter. and has a goal to continually improve in every practice and game. One thing is for certain: Whenever Woeste is in the circle, she’s throwing to one of the best catchers in the section. Barragan was effusive in his praise for Rodriguez, noting her ability to call pitches, make adjustments on the fly and align her teammates for any kind of situation. “Amber’s leadership on the field is very well present,” Barragan said. “She’s very soft-spoken and quiet, but her leadership is done on the field and it’s great. She’s the QB out

there and she’ll move girls around, but more impressive than that is now I’ll take some innings off of calling pitches because I know Amber truly understands how to call a game. She positions the defense, calls the game and so far she hasn’t let me down.” Rodriguez’s understanding of the game is so deep that she’ll see things that Barragan might miss on occasion since she’s right there in the box. “She’s challenged me this year calling pitches,” Barragan said. “I’ll give a sign and she’ll tilt her head saying, ‘Hey, are you

sure?’ And I’m like maybe not, and I’ll point at her and tell her to go with her call because she’s obviously seeing something in the batter I’m not. So far she’s proving me right in the way she calls pitches. It’s impressive.” Barragan added Rodriguez has become adept at taking advantage when the pitcher misses her spot. “She makes them pay for it,” Barragan said. ... “We’re looking for a league title, and if not we’ll do our best for a CCS title. We have the team to do it, and come playoff time we’ll be full force and ready to go.”

Former Baler excels at Oregon State COLETTE YAMAOKA COMPETES FOR NATIONALLY RANKED OREGON STATE emanuel lee Sports Editor

where I am today. It was a really special moment.” Yamaoka was a level 9 gymnast—most of the girls who are recruited by Division I programs are level 10—by her junior, and on her way to competing at the level 10 stage until she suffered a torn ACL in February of her junior year. The injury forced Yamaoka to miss the all important recruiting window to get her noticed by college coaches, resulting in the less than ideal predicament of hoping to earn an initial tryout strictly through her previous competition videos. Turns out Oregon State had a need for gymnasts who could excel on the uneven bars, which happened to be one of Yamaoka’s strongest disciplines. Yamaoka’s goal is to be a part of the rotation on the balance beam, vault and floor next year. Go to sanbenito.com and the Free Lance Facebook page to view the full version of this story.

Colette Yamaoka took one of the more unconventional routes in earning a roster spot for a nationally ranked Division I program. Yamaoka, a 2017 San Benito High graduate, was already enrolled at Oregon State University when she sent an email on Labor Day weekend of that year to Michael Chaplain, the associate head coach of the gymnastics team. “That was a couple of weeks before I came out here (Corvallis) to move in,” she said. “Since I was all set for my freshman year, I thought I might as well reach out to him and see where it takes me. I didn’t want to give up on my goal (of competing on a college program) even though I knew it was kind of a reach.” After an intense two-week

tryout period, Yamaoka had earned a spot on the team. Last year as a freshman, Yamaoka was primarily an alternate on the uneven bars, and only competed in exhibitions. This past season she moved into the lineup and was a valuable contributor for an Oregon State team that finished No. 6 in the nation and reached the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament in Fort Worth, Texas. In the NCAA semifinals, Yamaoka scored a careerbest 9.8125 on the uneven bars that helped give the Beavers a solid team score 49.2625 in the event. For Yamaoka, all of the hard work and the literally thousands of hours she had put in since starting gymnastics at age 3 had paid off in s sublime way. “Competing at nationals for me was the highlight because that is the biggest competition in the NCAA at the highest level you can compete at,” she said. “So that was really exciting for me because I worked so hard to be

ACROBATIC Colette Yamaoka, a 2017 San Benito High graduate, recently completed a

strong sophomore season in which she posted impressive numbers on the uneven bars.
