Appeal goes to council RULING ON 400 BLOCK COULD SPARK LITIGATION Jaqueline McCool Reporter
The controversial 400 block project will come before the Hollister City Council on Monday, May 20 in what may be the city’s last chance to avoid drawn-out litigation over the site’s future.
Proponents on the council want to move forward with plans to construct 22 condominiums, offices for a non-profit foundation and several ground floor retail spaces while opponents have suggested maintaining an open plaza or building a center for performing arts. Citizens lost the chance to weigh in on the question after the city appealed to state Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who gave
the city discretion to sell the land without a public vote. The effort to develop the currently empty lots at the corner of San Benito and Fourth streets—buildings there were destroyed in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake—has been riddled with complications and public mishaps from the start. The city tried in 2016 to find a developer to create
a mixed-use project in the space, and a local builder, the Del Curto Brothers, along with the Community Foundation of San Benito County proposed a joint project. That proposed project has generated nearly three years of controversy. The council agreed to a sale price based on an outdated appraisal after city officials withheld a higher appraisal from public
view until a public records request by the Free Lance revealed its existence. A petition drive to have the project appear on the ballot was derailed by the city council, when it sought a ruling by the attorney general on the legality of a referendum. Becerra, after nearly nine months, ruled the decision was an ➝ 400 block, 8
TRUMP’S BLM SEEKS TO OPEN 800,000 ACRES FOR OIL/GAS Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Robert Eliason
The federal Bureau of Land Management on May 10 announced a plan to open approximately 800,000 acres of public lands and underground federal mineral rights across California’s Central Coast to new oil and gas drilling, with specific targets in San Benito County—including areas surrounding Pinnacles National Park. The BLM said the new plan, coming less than a month after it announced a plan to allow drilling on more than one million acres of federal land near Bakersfield, should result in 75 new oil wells in California over the next 20 years. The announcement produced a not-unexpected chorus of objections from elected officials in the Central Coast region, including Rep. Jimmy Panetta, State Sen. Bill Monning and Assemblyman Robert Rivas. California is the sixth largest oil-producing state, providing more than 8 percent of U.S. crude oil production from thousands of private wells, WILD RIDE Six-year-old Josiah Rodriguez holds on tight as he rides the Dragon over Mother’s weekend at the San Benito High School Carnival at Veterans Memorial Park in Hollister.

Forgiving Paws to close its doors NONPROFIT TO CONTINUE RAISING FUNDS Erik Chalhoub Business Editor
After four years of supporting animals in need, Forgiving Paws Thrift Shop is closing its doors at the end of May. While owner Maggie Lairson is shutting down the shop due to health challenges, her organization’s mission is far from over. With a board and volunteers in place, Forgiving Paws will continue to operate as a non-profit fundraising organization. Its SPUTER fund, a spay and neuter program, supports families who need financial assistance, and Helping Paws provides funds to help with emergency veterinarian expenses. Lairson, who was a pug breeder, lost her dogs in 2006 after they ate pet food that was eventually recalled. Soon after, she founded the Forgiving Paws non-profit to help
support other pet rescue organizations. Raising funds through garage sales and other means, Lairson knew she needed a more consistent stream of revenue to support the non-profit, which led to the opening of the thrift shop in March 2015. The success of the shop, located at 195 Meridan St. in Hollister, is prominently displayed near its entrance, with a sign highlighting the amounts Forgiving Paws has donated to various animal rescue organizations. Peace of Mind Dog Rescue received $21,625, Pet Friends Rescue $13,490 and Operation Freedom Paws received $9,350, to name just a few. Altogether, more than $122,000 has been donated. Lairson said she and her team are saddened by the closing. “We have a great team,” she said. “It’s like clockwork; everybody knows what they are supposed to do and they do it.” Kathleen Smith, vice president of Forgiving
Paws, said Lairson is “very, very generous” when it comes to helping other animal rescue organizations. “The secret to success is commitment from the top line down,” she said. “Maggie is definitely 150 percent committed, and that’s part of the reason why she needs to close. She’s here 10 hours a day. That’s a lot of work.” The announcement of the shop’s closing on Facebook drew a strong response from customers. “You have been such a huge support to animal causes and selflessly donated your time and energy,” Rosie Pettit wrote. “So sad to see you go,” Kathy Gaeta Kessler wrote. “You all have been an invaluable resource to so many animal rescues in the area.” Although the thrift shop is closing, Forgiving Paws will continue its SPUTER and Helping Paws funds, and is looking to the community for support.

Alum designs gate repairs KOWALK USES ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE TO HELP NASH ROAD GATE Staff report
Photos courtesy of San Benito High School
A San Benito High School alumnus got called into action recently and helped fix an issue with the pivot arms that control the gates that block off Nash Road to through traffic during school days. Cuesta College mechanical engineering major Logan Kowalk—a 2018 San Benito High School graduate—was happy to lend a helping hand. Maintenance tradesworker technician Daren Dickison determined that the length or the geometry of the arms that control the gates from the motor was not quite right, causing a breaker to be tripped and extending the arms into the bike lanes. Dickison reached out to Kowalk—his longtime neighbor in Hollister—for advice. The challenge was having the gates’ arms at a length that would not overtax the motor and still keep them out of the nearby bike lane. Dickison said it made sense to talk to the college freshman who plans to eventually major in engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. “I sent Logan pictures of the current layout and
dimensions, and he had a range of measurements for me to work with within just a few hours,” Dickison said. He then made a wooden set of arms to test the length and strength of the arms that Kowalk engineered, and “it was very apparent that he nailed exactly what we were looking for: easy on the motor and still keeping the arms out of the bike lane.” Dickison then fabricated the new arms, and the gates have been functioning without impeding the bike lane ever since. The success of the remote engineering work done by Kowalk was not a surprise to his neighbor, as Dickison recalls Logan growing up “always wanting to turn a wrench or swing a hammer.” “Math and mechanical issues always came easy to him, whether it was with his schoolwork or rebuilding his motocross bike without any previous experience,” Dickison said. “Just give him a service manual and turn him loose.” During an early April visit to campus while on a break from college, Kowalk was able to check out the new gate arms in person, recalling that he took the specs and measurements provided by Dickison to run a simulation in his college engineering class using an AutoCAD (computer-aided design) program. “Daren and I have

worked together for many years on side projects, and he knew my major is mechanical engineering,” Kowalk said. “He drew me a schematic to give me the locations of the motor, gate and bike lane, and based off that I could run my simulation.” Kowalk said it was nice to work on a real-world problem and get it solved. “It’s pretty motivating to continue on the path I’m on,” he said, noting that he is taking classes
in engineering, physics, calculus and English at Cuesta. Kowalk has always been handy, with friends and neighbors frequently bringing him their card, trucks or dirt bikes for repair work throughout high school. “I enjoy working on cars and solving problems,” he said. “But I also enjoy doing the mechanical equations behind structures and powertrains.” His career goal is to work
on machinery or military equipment. Until then, Kowalk is thankful he took Tate Edwards’ Advanced Placement physics 1 and 2 classes at San Benito High School. “They were the first classes where you could apply the math that you’ve been learning throughout elementary, middle and high school and finally put some validity to those numbers,” Kowalk said. “I liked getting to
see how those calculations that meant nothing before could be demonstrated and proven by physical concepts. Doing math for the sake of math is not fun. Having those physics problems mean something is the coolest part.” Kowalk also noted that he took woodshop and auto classes in high school and said the cabinet-making instruction he received at SBHS helped him better understand design processes.

OPINION LETTER
High-Speed Rail is monstrosity
GUEST VIEW KEN CHRISTOPHER
Tariffs good for garlic
I
f you were to open the Wall Street Journal, New York Times or really any paper of record, you would be bombarded by countless stories about the current US-China trade war and the devastating effects on American farmers. Tale after tale of soybeans going unsold and corn fields going fallow are far too common and tell an overly simplistic story about the impact and the reality of the current state of agriculture in the United States. It should go without saying that our hearts go out to those commodity farmers that are being hurt by retroactive tariffs imposed by China on their goods. It’s our great hope that farmers across the Midwest will retool and repurpose their activities to not be so beholden to a non-market command economy like the People’s Republic of China. In diversifying their product mix as well as their customer base, these farmers would be best positioned to compete in the modern world of agribusiness. What the media has failed to take into account is that in any trade war, there are winners as well as losers. China has routinely flooded the US market with cheap produce, often sold at prices below their cost of production. Many Chinese exporters are playing “the long game,” and instead of competing in the free and fair market, are choosing to flood our shores at a loss in order to gain market share in the future. Countless farmers have gone out of business due to this illegal activity, and the current Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods greatly benefit many American farmers, something that is routinely left out of the larger media narrative. The US garlic industry has been under assault by fraudulent Chinese exporters since 1994. Per the Department of Commerce, since 2001, the American garlic industry has been directly impacted by over $600 million in financial damages by Chinese firms. I personally testified before the US International Trade Commission in August

2018 to ensure that Chinese garlic was included on the list of tariffs, and I’m proud to report that on Sept. 24, 2018, garlic made the official list. All Chinese garlic was immediately made subject to a 10 percent tariff, and on May 10, that tariff increased to 25 percent. This action provides immediate relief to our domestic industry. Back in the 1990s there were 12 major garlic farms in the United States. Today, there are only three left. We’re proud to be Gilroy’s largest employer, with over 1,000 full-time employees, and we’re proud to offer one of the nation’s highest corporate minimum wages at $15 per hour. An economic engine for our local community, Christopher Ranch is an indirect beneficiary of the administration’s tariff actions. In making California garlic more competitive against illegally dumped Chinese garlic, we stand ready to expand our industrial capacity, grow more acres of all-American grown garlic, and continue to increase our workforce. It’s not just American garlic farmers that are given critical support against less than ethical Chinese exporters. American apple farmers, crawfish farmers, sweet corn farmers, onion farmers, beekeepers, carrot farmers, lobster farmers, to name just a few, are also given immediate redress to Chinese activity due to the tariffs. International competition isn’t the problem. We’re happy to compete with countries that play by the rules of the free market. It’s only when non-market actors, like China, seek to break the rules and ignore the standards and norms of free and fair trade that it’s critical that our government step in. While tariffs aren’t a permanent solution, they provide immediate relief for the US garlic industry—an industry that’s been under siege for years.
Here is my comment on your Bullet Train article on May 10, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, Golden Spike Ceremony: I was disturbed by your lack of fair treatment of both sides of the issue. Your article failed to mention the revelation from a whistleblower who said that he quit in protest of the High-Speed Rail paying hundreds of millions to the contractor for no work performed, only delay damages. He said that the rail authority falsely told the federal government that work could be performed when they did not even own the land where the work was to be performed. For this they received $3.1 billion of our federal tax dollars, and have squandered it on damage payments to their contractor. This is the kind of debacle we get with politician transportation as we see with VTA, COG, TAMC, SCCRTC, Caltrain, Amtrak, ACE Train, SMART Trail and all the rest of the bankrupt boondoggles which kept running massive transfers of gas and diesel taxes to the bankrupt boondoggles by our local elected officials. This is unsound and unsustainable transport policy. Experts have advised both federal and state governments that we ought to fund transport with user fees. This policy was endorsed by the President's Blue Ribbon Commission on transport funding, and by the California Transportation Commission. But our leaders ignore their own experts. Instead, they gouge motorists for ever-increasing gas taxes. We need to reverse course on this supermassive black hole monstrosity. We need to do what Florida did: reverse our bad decision on Prop. 1A. We voted for self-sufficient High Speed Rail, not another government-subsidized public sector boondoggle. How high will gas and diesel taxes have to go to subsidize all these politicians' nightmares? California's politicians have us on the road to serfdom. Caveat viator. Joseph Patrick Thompson
FROM THE WEB Decorum of City Council members Marty Richman was right to call point of order for the mayor's improper bully pulpit response to public comments. However, his frustration with the mayor caused him to lose his cool and act out of line.The council has a leadership problem, pure and simple. The mayor must follow the rules like everyone else. I see no accountability on his part for his violation of rules for order. Kim Selesky-Williams via Facebook
Don't trust the government! Dan Corral Jr. via Facebook
One of the reasons we don’t have a collaborative plan for our community is, too much infighting. Things like this show the dysfunction in our local government and definitely do not inspire confidence in the direction of our little town. Hoping we can pull it together and catch up to other communities that have made it work with a solid plan: Morgan Hill, Gilroy, even Watsonville. Samantha Zaragoza via Facebook
This kind of thing can be avoided if the people were allowed to vote on these hot issues. The 400 block and the housing moratorium should be up to the people. The outcome of a countywide vote would shut this up once and for all. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I’m on board with Rolan [Resendiz] and Ignacio [Velazquez]. Holly Cornetto via Facebook

400 block has been a 30-year topic
Two-phase project
The project has two phases. Phase one is the construction of building for the Community Foundation of San Benito County and several non-profit agencies, including the media site it funds, Benitolink. Phase two is a mixed residential/ commercial building owned and developed by the Del Curto Brothers of Hollister, with residential units and six ground-floor commercial sites, both of whom would rely on parking in an adjacent structure. Another marker in the project occurred April 11, when the city planning commission voted 4-1 to approve the Del Curto/Community Foundation project’s subdivision, conditional use permits and tentative map. Velazquez appealed that decision, and his personal lawyers will argue their case in front of the city council May 20. Velazquez’ appeal is based on his belief that
the project violates the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has over the maximum number of allotted residential units and does not qualify for street vacation. The city first released a request for proposals for the site in 2016 and said its goal was “to sell both parcels to a private developer and construct a new keystone commercial or mixed/use development as a catalyst for economic development in downtown Hollister.”
The low appraisal
The request for proposals took the unusual step of listing an appraised price for the three lots, at $390,000, or $20 per square foot, setting a baseline price for the project. This was based on a 2015 appraisal. In January 2016 the Del Curto Brothers submitted a project proposal to the council. An update of the appraisal was then conducted September 2016 by the same company, Steve Loos Appraisal, and concluded that the property value had doubled—to $690,000. Loos wrote in a letter of transmittal to Hollister’s development services department: “There has been a significant change in the local market since October 2015,” wrote Loos. “The downtown area continues to adapt to new and changing market conditions, market activity for commercial land and buildings has increased significantly and residential building and home sales continue at a brisk pace with rising prices.” City manager Bill Avera, told the Free Lance in late

➝ 400 block, 1 administrative action and therefore was “not subject to a referendum.” Now Mayor Ignacio Velazquez—who can’t participate in the council decisions because his business, the Vault banquet hall, sits next door to the site—says the city’s 400-block decisions violated several state and local laws . Velazquez led the 2017 petition drive to seek a referendum on the project, collecting nearly 2,500 signatures. Velazquez now is taking the unusual step of threatening a legal challenge to the project “as a private citizen.”
400 BLOCK OF FUTURE? Here is how the developer sees the proposed mixed-use development
at San Benito and Fourth streets in Hollister, looking west.
2017 that the council “probably” did not see the new appraisal before the council approved the sale. No council members, including the mayor, could remember seeing it. Avera gave no explanation for failing to share the new information. The council approved the parcel’s sale for $390,000, based on the 2015 appraisal. The disposition agreement for the project was received June 5, 2017, several months after the new appraisal. Project manager Mary Paxton said the updated appraisal was done to make sure the value of the property hadn’t dropped, because the city could not sell the property for more than it was worth but could sell it for less. Paxton told the Free Lance that the original appraisal price was
that the “resolution was not subject to a referendum ” stating the council decision was simply an administrative action as part of a redevelopment plan and therefore not required to go before the public. The 400 block had six businesses prior to the 1989 earthquake, but they moved or closed because of damage to the building. The land had been the responsibility of Hollister’s redevelopment agency since 1995, but in 2011 the state dissolved redevelopment agencies as part of the state budget. Past attempts to unload the 400 block on developers were unsuccessful. The city’s property management plans said the grassy patch in the middle of Hollister’s downtown was almost a
kept for Del Curto Brothers because the developer submitted its proposal and designed the project based on the plan. “They made a proposal based on that value,” said Paxton. “They made a good-faith effort.”
The petition drive
The debate surrounding the project continued beyond the initial proposal’s approval. Velazquez spearheaded a petition to put the 400-block decision to the city’s residents for a vote. The petition received 2,465 signatures, but the city council majority challenged it and, with the help of state assemblywoman Anna Caballero, requested the attorney general’s opinion to confirm its decision without an election. Nine months later, Beccera wrote in an 11-page letter
theater/restaurant/retail/ office space, a hotel, a performing arts center and another hotel. After the dissolution of the redevelopment agency, the city could have sold the property or bought it themselves using reserve funds, Paxton said. In 2014, Hollister entered into a compensation agreement with the city’s taxing entities: the Hollister School District, the San Benito County Office of Education, the Gavilan Joint Community College District, the San Benito High School District, the San Benito County Healthcare District and the San Benito County Water District. These entities will split the sale proceeds once the deal is final. The ➝ 400 block, 12

Most of the new wells in the giant Coalinga Field south of San Benito County in recent years, 76 percent, use “steam injection and water flood techniques”—also known as fracking, according to the BLM. A BLM spokesperson said most of the proposed new wells in the expanded region would not involve fracking. The controversy over the development of oil and gas resources has been going on since 1921 when the first development was permitted. The San Joaquin Valley is home to 22 giant oil fields, each producing more than 100 million barrels of oil. Since 1969, the concern about potential environmental damage resulting from a massive Santa Barbara oil spill resulted in a statewide moratorium on new coastal or offshore oil and gas leases, which continues. However, the State Lands Commission reported that in 2017, 23 offshore rigs were still producing more than 7,000 barrels of oil per day, about one-tenth of the production at the time of the moratorium 50 years ago. The BLM manages nearly 600 oil and gas leases in California, covering more than 200,000 acres. Between 80 and 90 percent of the agency’s oil and gas wells are in the San Joaquin Valley and more than 95 percent of all federal drilling occurs in established fields in Kern County. California’s federal production accounts for less than 10 percent of the state’s oil and natural gas production.

“The Trump Administration’s call to drill in vast areas of our community is a direct assault on our vital agricultural economy,” said Rivas in his May 13 statement. “The unlawful action will also destroy local tourism, which could imperil thousands of our local small business owners.” “This attack on our communities is a distraction from the pressing issues we are all working to solve, like our farmworker housing shortage, the growing homelessness crisis, and the urgent need to improve our public education system,” Rivas said. “I want us to be known for protecting our environment for future generations. I urge all residents to join me to stand up for what is right.” Monning, in a statement, said, “The Central Coast already faces severe impacts of climate change. In California, we are moving to zero emissions, and this decision represents a step backward in protecting the health of our communities from the consequences of climate change. It also threatens the public health and safety of all Californians.” The area considered by BLM to contain the “highest potential” for oil and gas resources generally covers the southern Salinas Valley of Monterey County, southeastern San Benito County (east of the San Andreas Fault zone) and the western flank of the San Joaquin Valley, including portions of western Fresno, Merced and Stanislaus counties. There are 41 active or abandoned oil and gas fields in this area; of these, only 13 contain underground mineral rights managed by the BLM, known as “federal mineral estate.” All but one of 13 of these fields are located within a portion of one or more groundwater basins: the

The resulting land-use management decisions would affect underground federal mineral rights primarily located in Fresno, Monterey and San Benito counties. Rivas on May 13 asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to contest the unprecedented increase of oil exploration on public land, officially asking the governor file a protest, saying that the Trump Administration’s plans are inconsistent with state and local laws. “This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. Fighting this destructive plan is the right thing to do to protect our health and our future,” said Rivas, who as a county supervisor in 2014 led California’s first successful anti-fracking referendum. “This move by the President was void of research or community input. That’s why I’m calling on the governor to use his power to review the proposal and highlight how this plan takes us backward and how it is out of touch with the will of the people. It is entirely inconsistent with state and local law.” BLM regulations provide a 60-day window for Newsom to review the plan for any inconsistencies with state and local plans and policies and to provide recommendations. The general public has a 30-day protest period.
Rivas cites ‘attack’
San Benito River Valley, Bitterwater Creek (south of Pinnacles), Hollister (northeast of Hollister) and Vallecitos Creek (eastern San Benito County, south of Panoche). Environmentalists are concerned about the potential impact of oil/gas well drilling on groundwater resources. The state Department of Water Resources said that the BLM owns no underground oil/gas rights in the 50-squaremile Bitterwater Valley groundwater basin, the 38-square-mile San Benito River Valley basin or the 116-square-mile San Juan Bautista Area basin in northern San Benito County.

Panetta encouraged all residents to participate in the public comment period and share their opinions on opening more federal land to oil and gas leases. “Our community is concerned about expanded oil and gas exploitation on the Central Coast,” he said in a statement. “It is critical that we share our opinion of the proposal directly with this administration.”

US seeks new CA wells most in the San Joaquin Valley. The California Department of Conservation reported that as of April 2018, there were 31 active oil/gas wells in San Benito County, and 15 active oil/gas wells in Santa Clara County. The wells are operated by six companies on private land. The new BLM plan would greatly expand the opportunity to obtain oil/gas leases on federal land, much of it in fragile, remote settings on the Central Coast. The BLM’s proposed “resource management plan” published in the Federal Register May 10 analyzed six alternative approaches to oil and gas leasing and development, specified which BLM-managed public lands or below-ground mineral rights would be open to future oil and gas leasing and identified the stipulations or restrictions that would be applied “to protect resources.”

Hollister pot opinions still divided CITY HOSTS TOWN HALL TO GAUGE PUBLIC SUPPORT Jaqueline McCool Reporter
The recreational cannabis debate continued this week in Hollister at a town hall meeting to discuss public support of amending Hollister’s existing cannabis ordinance. Cannabis Affairs Manager Maria Mendez presented the proposed
changes to the public and to the council once again. The changes would affect sales, delivery, retail hours and the permit application process. The possibility of allowing the sale of recreational cannabis in the city has been a topic before the council since the beginning of the year. The council approved the sale of cannabis for medicinal use in December 2016, and the first retail store is set to open June 1. But council has balked at taking the next step. On March 13, the city held its first public outreach
meeting on the issue, and comments were divided for and against the ordinance changes. Many of the speakers who supported the recreational change are involved in the emerging Hollister cannabis industry. After the council on April 22 had been presented with changes in the ordinance to allow recreational sales, Mayor Ignacio Velazquez instructed staff to hold another town meeting. He said he didn’t want to rush the process and wanted the public to be included in the discussion.
At that time, Mendez estimated that with recreational and medical sales, the city could collect $5.5 million annually in fees, but with just medical sales the projected revenue would be $1.375 million. Mendez said the ordinance amendments would allow recreational sales in the two approved dispensaries, allow nonstorefront cannabis businesses to deliver cannabis products, ban deliveries between 10pm and 6am, allow deliveries from other jurisdictions with a permit
approved by the council and remove the point system for applicants. Lonna Blodgett spoke on behalf of her business, Monterey Bay Alternative Medicine, a medical dispensary set to open in Hollister. Lewis brought numbers from her two other dispensaries to illustrate the difference between revenues from exclusively medical sales and combined recreational/medical sales. Blodgett told the council that in one year her Salinas dispensary served over 22,000 customers, but only
about 1,700 of those customers came in with medical cards. At the Del Rey Oak location Blodgett said the storefront served over 38,000 customers with only about 2,000 being medical patients. Other community members who spoke expressed concern that opening Hollister up to recreational marijuana would lead to a rise in use and sales to minors. Velazquez said he wanted to continue to proceed with caution.

The payments
community foundation offices will stand at 45 feet. The development will have commercial/retail space on its ground floor, and two floors of one-bedroom and studio apartments. Altogether there will be 22 units, two of which will be designated as “low income” and two others as “very low income.” With downtown zoning, the lot would have only allowed 18 units to be built, but a density bonus was approved by the planning commission on the contingency that the additional four units be below market rate. At the May 13 special city council meeting the council, without Velazquez, unanimously voted in closed session to appoint Lauren Layne from the law firm Baker, Manock and Jensen as legal counsel for the appeal.
Submitted grap hic
In Phase one of the project, the Community Foundation will pay $141,316. In Phase two, the Del Curto Brothers will pay $248,684. Paxton told the Free Lance the payment will be received when each phase has submitted a building proposal. She said this measure was a way of protecting the city from another lost project. “It’s saying we’re not going to give you the property till we’re sure they’re going to perform,” said Paxton. Before the money changes hands, the city is still able to use the 400 block for the non-profit activities that have taken place.
The idea of a mixed commercial and residential use for the site dates back to when the redevelopment agency first took over the property. Even when subsequent deals fell through, the city’s general plan called for projects with residential and commercial uses to be built downtown. The city’s 2016 request for proposals explicitly called for a mixed-use building to be set in the downtown. The Del Curto Brother’s rustic adobe three-story design is in line with the city’s 2009 downown strategy. City planner Abraham Prado told the Free Lance that the city’s plans call for buildings in the historic downtown to have an “old town” feel. The height limit downtown is 75 feet; the mixed-use building and

ON THE ATTACK Lex Chavarria, a former San Benito High standout, teamed up with sister Noel Chavarria to form one of the pairs team for a Gavilan College beach volleyball program that advanced to the California Community College State Championships for the first time in school history.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Beach record setters LOCAL TALENT POWER RAMS VOLLEYBALL PROGRAM TO NEW HEIGHTS emanuel lee Sports Editor
Chris Spence
The Gavilan College volleyball program has never been better, making history year after year. Last November, the indoor team advanced to the State Final Eight for the second time in three years and won a match at that stage for the first time in program history. On the beach this season, the Rams qualified to the State Championships, also a first for the program. By accomplishing both, Gavilan was one of only three community colleges in California—Irvine Valley and El Camino being the others— that had their indoor and outdoor volleyball teams make the State Championships. Quite a feat indeed. To give perspective on how impressive that accomplishment is, there are 95 community colleges with indoor programs and 40 to 45 with beach volleyball programs. Only six teams advance to the beach volleyball state tournament, four from Southern California and two from Northern California. The Rams got it done with a true team effort, as they had none of their twowomen squads advance to the Pairs State Championship, the first time in the five-year history
of beach volleyball at the California community college level that Gavilan didn’t have a duo competing in the Pairs Tournament. For a team to qualify for the State Championships and not have a single pairs team in the regional field speaks volumes of a deep roster filled with quality players. In the team state championships, the Rams lost to Grossmont 4-1 and El Camino 3-2 on May 9 in Chula Vista to close out a remarkable season. “It’s the first in the five year history of the event that a team qualified without having one of its pairs qualifying,” Rams coach Kevin Kramer said. “It really kind of shows you the depth of the team and how important they are to each other. It’s kind of been a group effort all year long.” Nowhere was that more apparent than in the NorCal Finals against West Valley on May 1. Gavilan prevailed, 3-2, earning wins from its No. 4 and 5 teams in Lex Chavarria and Noel Chavarria and Evelyn Clonts and Melissa Zanotto, respectively. The No. 4 and 5 matches were the first to go on the courts, so even before the Rams top three squads took to the court, they were up 2-0 and needed to win just one of the three remaining matches to seal the victory. That was easier said than done considering West Valley has the top pairs team in Northern California playing at the No. 1 spot, and tough teams at the two and three positions as well. However, Katia Dizon, a former Anzar High standout, and partner Keona Stopper beat their West Valley

In the previous round, the Rams beat Fresno City College by the identical 3-2 score. The three teams were pretty familiar with each other, as they had
battled all season taking turns beating each other. “We (all of the coaches from each program) were joking all year long that any time the three of us get together, it’s a 50/50 crapshoot of who comes out on top,” Kramer said. “We’re lucky
this time it was us.” Sarah Weiby, a former Gilroy High standout, and partner Mikeila Banda played at the No. 1 spot against West Valley, while Katelyn Viray, a former Christopher High standout, and partner ➝ Rams, page 17

things and making the adjustments,” Weiby said. “Last year was my first year playing beach, and it was hard not having the coaches’ input in the game. But a year later we all have more experience and are confident we can make the right decisions.” Then there’s the inexact science of maximizing the potential of each player by putting them with a partner that will enhance their game, and vice versa. Weiby and Dizon were partners earlier in the season before it was decided that Banda and Weiby would form a team along with Dizon and Stopper. In each situation, the players must support each other to lift their play to a higher level. “It’s about meshing really well and motivating each other,” Weiby said. “If she digs a ball up, I want to get to it and make sure it gets back over the net. We work for each other.” The culture of the Gavilan volleyball program features accountability, hard work, discipline and a desire to grow and improve. “Everyone is really self-motivated and selfdriven,” Weiby said. “I think Kevin is a huge part of that. Everyone works hard because they see the dedication he puts in, and I think that is the root (to the sustained success of the program). I think everyone wants to match that intensity and energy, and it pushes everyone to be better. It’s crazy to see him coaching softball during the same season, but I know it’s something he enjoys doing even though it’s pretty stressful.” Kramer emphasized
that it was the assistant coaches who did a lot of the heavy lifting for the program this season since he had double duty coaching the softball team concurrently with beach volleyball. Kramer said four assistants helped out immensely, including former Balers standout Isaiah Acfalle, who did the majority of the coaching on the days Kramer was coaching softball; Chris Spence, who has been with Kramer for all 12 of his years at Gavilan; Brian Calimpong, who directs the team’s operations; and Ramon Rodriguez, the Christopher High girls volleyball coach.
Supportive coaches
Blending an excellent coaching staff along with talented and hard working players, it’s no wonder Gavilan’s volleyball program continually reaches new heights. The program has got some serious mojo, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the indoor or beach program—or both— win a state title within the next several years. When the Rams lost in the State Championships last week, the emotion was palpable. “It was very emotional for everyone because this was our last game together as a team,” said Dizon, who recently committed to play beach volleyball for Ottawa University in Arizona. “We all realized as a whole this was it and our last hurrah. This exact group will never play together again.” And what a dynamic group it’s been. Camille Finley, who played on the indoor team last season, transferred to Long Beach State in January to
Chris Spence
Flo Tukuaoga played the No. 3 position. The rest of the roster includes Adrianne Orahood, Zoe Harada and Evelyn Clonts. All of these players with the exception of Stopper were on the indoor team, no small feat considering the outdoor game requires a greater overall skill set, Kramer said. “In the indoor game, you can get away from being a one-dimensional player,” he said. “On the beach, you kind of have to be good at everything (to excel). It demands a lot that maybe the indoor game doesn’t demand.” Weiby, who is one of the top two or three beach volleyball players at the school but probably in the range of being the sixth to 10th best indoor player, has an all-around skill set that makes her a formidable talent in both games, especially the beach. “For the indoor team, my teammates always made a joke because I jumped from position to position,” she said. “They would say I was versatile, and I think that helps out on the beach because I have different skill sets which you really need.” The beach game differs from the indoor game in one huge aspect: coaching is limited, putting the onus on the players to make in-game adjustments and tactical decisions. Pairs are allowed only one timeout to go along with a technical timeout in each set when the scores add up to 21. Coaches are actually prohibited from doing any type of coaching unless it’s in a timeout situation. “It’s a lot more on the player and you seeing

compete on the track and field team. The following have all either signed or committed to play at the four-year level: Weiby to Niagara University (indoor); Viray to Ottawa (beach); Lex Chavarria to Peru State in Nebraska (indoor); and Banda and Clonts will stay teammates next season as they have committed to play for Chico State’s indoor team. Beach volleyball is exploding in popularity at all levels, especially in college. Dizon, like most of her teammates, had never played competitive beach volleyball until coming to Gavilan. Her partner, Stopper, played at Holy Names University and the two
meshed to form a cohesive unit. “We communicated well and really talked through every single play,” said Dizon, one of the most productive players in Anzar High history. “That is the most important thing because the beach game is more of a mental game. I love it because playing beach has helped me grow as a person in that I had to figure out strategies on the court and there is more independence.” Although height plays a factor in the beach game, it’s not the end all, be all to success. Stopper is 5-foot-4 and Dizon is perhaps a shade taller than 5-6. In the beach game, one player
usually stays at the net (designated as the big) and one in the back (the little). Dizon, who played the little last season, made the transition to the big this year. Despite facing taller players, Dizon more than held her own at the net. “I was still able to get up there and make some blocks,” she said. When Dizon graduated from Anzar High two years ago, she had no idea on the next step she wanted to take in life. After two amazing years at Gavilan both athletically and academically, she has direction. “Gavilan definitely helped shape who I am,” she said. “I’m ready to go on to the next chapter in my life.”
