Trustees discuss area elections BOARD PRESIDENT ASKS FOR PATIENCE WITH TRANSITION Scott Forstner Reporter

Robert Eliason

Hollister School District board president Stephen Kain is not opposed to shifting from an at-large to a trustee area election system. So when the local League of United Latin American Citizens brought the issue to the Hollister school board, citing the California Voting Rights Act and the need to ensure more minority representation on the board, Kain was open to the idea. “The issue was brought up to the last board. As far as I know, they felt it wasn’t necessary to change. They wanted to continue doing things the way they were,” said the first-year board member who, along with Jan Grist and Carla Torres-Deluna. “Since we’ve come on, it’s been presented to us by LULAC that we are the

join the action at B&R Farms’ U-Pick event.

The community got its Blenheim apricot fix July 13 when Hollister-based B&R Farms held a U-Pick event in honor of its 90th anniversary. Blenheim apricots are rarely available fresh off the tree, and are mostly consumed in dried form. The Blenheim has a very thin skin and bruises easily, making it impossible to ship without being dried, causing the delicate fruit to appear on Slow Food USA’s Endangered Foods list. The 150-acre family-owned orchard on 5280 Fairview Road is now run by the third generation, Jim Rossi and his wife Mari, along with their son Brian. Two other sons, Phillip and Scott, also pitch in at the farm. For information, visit brfarms.com.

Hwy 101 development possible SUPERVISORS TO CONSIDER ZONING CHANGES Erik Chalhoub Business Editor

Faced with a need to increase the county’s coffers, officials are eyeing four intersections along Highway 101 as future revenue generators.

The San Benito County Board of Supervisors is expected to consider zoning changes for the properties on July 23, following the planning commission’s recommendation in May. The four “nodes,” as they are called, are located along the highway at Betabel Road and Highway

129/Searle Road in San Juan Bautista, and Rocks Ranch and 101 Livestock Market in Aromas. The properties, totaling about 326 acres, would be converted to regional commercial zoning, which according to the 2035 General Plan approved in 2015, provides “areas that function

as destinations for commercial activity serving the regional population.” Such developments as shopping centers, automobile stations and hotels could be constructed on the property. Under regional commercial zoning, retail space is limited to 85,000 square feet per node, and

no more than 125 hotel rooms can be built within each area. Each node is planned to have its own theme. For instance, the theme for Betabel Road is that of a mid-century roadside, while the Highway 129 node is expected ➝ Highway nodes, 8

Hollister man dies in Shore Road crash COLLISION OCCURRED ON SHORE ROAD EAST OF LAKE ROAD Staff report

Police are investigating a traffic collision in which a 30-year-old Hollister motorist died while trying to pass another vehicle on Shore Road July 12.

During the collision, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.

Erik Chalhoub

About 7:05pm Friday, a 1999 Ford Escort was traveling eastbound on Shore Road “at a high rate of speed” behind a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro, reads a press release from the California Highway Patrol’s Hollister-Gilroy office. Just east of Lake Road, the driver of the Ford moved into the westbound lane and began to pass the Camaro, according to police. Before clearing the front of the Camaro, the driver of the Ford turned the vehicle back into the eastbound lane. The right rear of the Ford collided with the left front of the Camaro. As a result of the collision, the driver of the Ford lost control of his vehicle, which overturned off the roadway several times, police said. During the collision, the driver of the Ford was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries. Police think he was not wearing his seatbelt. Authorities have not identified the driver of the Ford. He is described as a 30-year-old Hollister man. The 29-year-old female driver of the Camaro was uninjured, police said. Two passengers in the Camaro—a 5-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man—were not injured. CHP officers are still investigating the collision. Officers do not think drugs or alcohol were a factor in the incident.

Thrift store opens downtown NON-PROFIT NEEDS VOLUNTEERS Erik Chalhoub Business Editor

Worth Saving Mercantile & Thrift Store celebrated its grand opening in downtown Hollister on July 10. The store, located at 101 Fifth St., opened in the former Pat’s Place, which closed in early 2018. Proceeds from Worth Saving benefit the non-profit Hollister Community Outreach/My Father’s House. The ministry outreach center, run

by Linda and Patrick Lampe, provides bathrooms, showers, clean clothes, food and hygiene items to the homeless. In addition, Linda Lampe serves as a court advocate and places people in drug and alcohol recovery programs. Lampe is quick to point out that the center is not a homeless shelter. “We call it a ‘launch pad,’” she said. “We give people the resources to get off the streets.” Since its founding in 2015, My Father’s House has helped more than 170 people get back on their feet, according to Lampe.

Worth Saving’s sizable Fifth Street location features a number of rooms offering all types of items, including clothing, books and furniture. It also includes an art gallery and a children’s area. It has been operating in a soft opening phase since late 2018. The store is also working on getting its California Green Business Certification. “We believe in repurposing and recycling everything,” Lampe said. Worth Saving is in need of volunteers, from cashiers to social media outreach and other duties. For information, call (831) 801-7775.

Summer repairs underway at schools MEETINGS ON STUDENT CELL PHONE USE Scott Forstner Reporter

File photo

Hollister school leaders have directed funds to help make repairs and upgrades at many of the local district’s school sites over the summer months in preparation of the 2019/20 school year. Hollister School District’s board of trustees unanimously approved a number of those projects at its June 25 meeting. They include: • $183,130 contract (Prop 39 Energy Fund) with Donangelo Brothers Electric, Inc. for installation of energy-efficient interior LEDs at Calaveras/Accelerated Achievement Academy and Cerra Vista Schools. • $29,655 contract (maintenance fund) with Scudder Roofing Company to install new rain gutters on classroom buildings at Rancho San Justo, Calaveras and Gabilan Hills. • $35,000 contract (maintenance fund) with Legacy Roofing for leaky roof repairs at Marguerite Maze and Calaveras schools. • $29,800 contract (Prop 39 Energy Fund) with Bay Area HVAC “to purchase 10 new energyefficient HVAC units for 10 classrooms at the Hollister Prep School/R.O. Hardin School campus. • $35,000 contract

(maintenance fund) with JB Jordan & Associates, Inc. to remove the existing carpet and flooring and install new carpet in three portable classrooms at R.O. Hardin. “When we first became school board members, we went around to all of our schools with the new superintendent to see which facilities needed the most improvements, and essentially that’s what we’re doing now,” board

president Stephen Kain said. At the same June 25 meeting, the board approved two contracts with Earth Systems Pacific for soil testing at the new school site, which will be called Rancho Santana School. They are following new school construction requirements from the state Department of Toxic Substances and Control. The first is an $82,082 contract (Measure V

funds) for observing, monitoring and testing of naturally occurring asbestos at the new school site. The second is a $30,562 contract with Earth Systems Pacific for the “observation and possible testing associated with the planned excavation and stockpiling of proposed import fill material/soil on property adjacent to the proposed new school site located at Santana Ranch,” according to the staff report.

HSD to host July 22 meetings on student cell phone use Hollister School District will host a pair of parent meetings July 22 regarding middle school student cell phone use, according to a recent announcement. The meetings are scheduled for: • 5pm July 22 in the Rancho San Justo Lunch Quad

• 7pm July 22 in the Gabilan Hills Gymnasium The meeting will feature a short presentation on the concerns related to student cell phone use. Parents will have the opportunity to review and provide input on a draft cell phone policy for the 2019-2020 school year. The objective is “to increase parent participation, especially for those parents who work out of town.”

OPINION GUEST VIEW TOM DALZELL

Hedge funds fight for PG&E

GUEST VIEW DAN WALTERS

Agencies stall on public records access

n paper, California has some of the nation’s best open records laws, the latest of which allows access to previously secret information about police misconduct. However, passing a sunshine law is one thing, while applying it may be entirely different. That’s currently being demonstrated visà-vis the aforementioned law granting access to police misconduct records. The Los Angeles Times and other media outlets jointly explored how police officials are complying with requests for information and found that “six months after Senate Bill 1421 went into effect, some of the state’s largest law enforcement agencies haven’t provided a single record. Some law enforcement organizations are charging high fees for records, destroying documents and even ignoring court orders to produce the files.” Agencies that are stonewalling records requests include the California Highway Patrol. Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat who authored the new law, told the LA Times, “If the state agencies themselves are acting like they’re above the law, that’s absolutely the wrong model and the wrong example to set for the rest of the local government agencies up and down the state.” Foot-dragging is not confined to local or state police departments. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ruled on May 17 that SB 1421 requires the state Department of Justice to release all records on officer sexual assault, dishonesty and serious use of force, including files about police and sheriff ’s deputies that the department possesses. The suit was brought by the First Amendment Coalition and public radio station KQED. However, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who had rebuffed requests for records held by his agency, is appealing Ulmer’s ruling, arguing anew

that the Department of Justice shouldn’t have to release records on local police misconduct. The frustrations about obtaining police records that the Legislature declared to be accessible mirrors what journalists and others have experienced while invoking the halfcentury-old California Public Records Act (PRA) to obtain documents. It’s not uncommon for government officials to stall on requests or misuse the law’s exemptions to deny access. Currently, the only way for frustrated requesters to proceed is to sue, which may string out the issue for months or even years and is, of course, quite costly. Assemblyman Vince Fong introduced legislation, backed by journalistic and good government groups, to provide another avenue to appeal PRA denials by state agencies. Assembly Bill 289 would designate the state auditor, currently Elaine Howle, as an “independent referee” to examine denied requests and, if warranted, order the affected agency to comply. The bill passed the Assembly without dissent but ran into a stone wall last week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairwoman, Santa Barbara Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson, had what she described as “two pages of concerns.” She said it would allow a single unelected official to make decisions without judicial review and described the measure as “not ripe for prime time.” With her opposition, the bill died on a partisan vote. The death of AB 289 leaves a serious problem unresolved. Those seeking records from recalcitrant agencies face expensive, often protracted battles with officials who have bottomless reservoirs of tax funds with which to wage legal war.

As the elected leader of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245, which represents approximately 12,000 frontline utility workers at Pacific Gas & Electric Co., I have paid careful attention both to legislative activity in Sacramento and to PG&E’s bankruptcy proceedings. Our members work around the clock to deliver clean, safe and reliable gas and electricity to PG&E’s customers. As such, we are uniquely positioned to observe and evaluate the policies and proceedings that stand to impact the utility, its employees, and the millions of residents and businesses they serve. Several months ago, a consortium of hedge funds that owns a large percentage of PG&E’s stock replaced PG&E’s existing board of directors with a new board, which included several direct representatives of hedge funds. Traditional institutional investors are no longer running PG&E. Hedge funds are. And in the last few days, there has been much criticism of a reorganization plan that was put forward by another group in bankruptcy court. That other group also includes hedge funds, but those hedge funds own PG&E bonds. Those who follow finance will appreciate the traditional friction between equity and debt. But from our perspective, all the hedge funds on the stage at PG&E, be they bondholders or stockholders, are, in essence, the same creatures. They are investors who use high-risk methods in hopes of realizing large capital gains. Whether they are dealing in equity or debt, these hedge fund operators are all cut from the same cloth. The rational thing to do here is to compare all the plans for reorganizing PG&E and weigh the merits of each. However, as things stand today, there is only one viable plan for reorganization, and that is the one put forward by the bondholders, as the plan articulated several weeks ago by the shareholder hedge funds has dissolved to all but nothing. The equity plan for reorganization was based on assumptions that have not proven feasible. First, the equity plan assumed that PG&E could issue tax-free bonds based on future profits. Legislation is required to realize that goal, and that doesn’t strike us as likely in the existing political climate. Second, the equity plan assumed that PG&E could issue tax-free bonds based on $5 billion in cost savings achieved over the next 10 years. When it was pointed out that those savings belong to ratepayers, not the shareholders, that part of the plan collapsed. The bondholder plan may not be perfect, but it is the only plan that is currently publicly available and politically feasible. I am sure that the hedge funds that control PG&E will develop a revised plan for reorganization. I look forward to seeing it, and I look forward to seeing plans that others might develop. Then, and only then, can we do a rational comparison of plans. For the time being, our members will do their jobs, providing critical electric and gas service to millions of Californians. These dedicated men and women are highly skilled and proud of their work, and we are steadfastly committed to ensuring they do not become collateral damage in the course of these proceedings. We do not have the luxury of doing without hedge funds today, but as Mavis Staples urged us, let’s keep our eyes on the prize—clean, safe, affordable energy for California. Tom Dalzell is business manager of IBEW Local 1245, which represents PG&E workers. He wrote this commentary for CALmatters, a non-profit journalism project in Sacramento.

CVRA is undefeated, and the defendants have been required to pay for all legal costs incurred by both sides. A district must start the transition process within 45 days of receiving a demand letter to avoid CVRA litigation. The school board took no action June 25, and Kain said he welcomes continued conversation on the issue. To make the change, the board would first adopt an intent resolution to transition, which can specify what election year that will start in. The board must then hold five public hearings to consider how to divide the district into five trustee areas (two pre-map hearings, two map consideration hearings and one map adoption hearing). The county Committee on School District Reorganization must hold at least one hearing and then vote on the local district’s proposal. Upon approval, the district can seek a waiver (which is generally granted) to bypass voter approval in an election. Whether that change to the election cycle will come in time for the November 2020 or 2022 election is still yet to be determined but will be discussed at a future board meeting, according to Kain.

only political agency in Hollister that doesn’t use the district system,” Kain added. Elected officials on the boards of San Benito High School District, San Benito County Office of Education, San Benito County Board of Supervisors and Gavilan Community College Joint District must reside within specific trustee area boundaries to qualify. Voters within each trustee area elect a single candidate at election time to represent that area. That is not the case with the HSD board, which still uses an atlarge system where trustees must live within the school district boundaries as a whole. Nearby Gilroy Unified School District conducts an atlarge election as well. Residents can vote for candidates no matter where they reside within the district boundaries. “Me personally, I don’t see what’s wrong with changing (our election format) when it’s appropriate,” Kain said. “I don’t think it’s right that we are the only political agency in the Hollister area not to have it.” However, Kain is asking for patience. He explained that the district would take on a double cost if they draw

the boundaries prior to the 2020 census and then be forced to redraw them in 2021 based on those numbers. It would cost an estimated $60,000 to $70,000 to hire a demographer to draw up the trustee area boundaries each time. After every 10-year federal census, the school board must adjust trustee area boundaries based on population changes, according to a June 25 presentation on the California Voting Rights Act by Devon Lincoln from the Lozano Smith law firm. The purpose of the CVRA is to “prevent racially polarized voting” by transitioning to “district-based elections.” The current fivemember board is comprised of three Caucasians (two men, one woman) and two Latino women. According to the California Department of Education database, Hollister is 81.4 percent Hispanic or Latino. Under the existing model, the five trustees are elected at large in even-year elections and staggered terms. With a by-district election, each trustee must reside in a designated area to qualify for that office. School districts and other municipalities have attempted to fight the CVRA on legal grounds. However, the

to resemble an early farmstead. However, planner Darryl Boyd stressed that the zoning change would not immediately result in development. “There’s no physical development that’s actually being proposed as part of this project,” he told the planning commission in May. “This project is continuing the implementation of the 2035 General Plan.” Should the zoning changes pass muster with the supervisors, development would not be happening anytime soon. Each node would then need approval of a master development plan, which outlines the property’s site plan and landscaping, among many other things. Once approved, major

developments that are consistent with the master plan would then have to go through another round of county approvals. The proposal to develop along Highway 101 has been met with opposition from many community members, who spoke out against it at the planning commission meeting. In addition, the San Juan Bautista City Council on June 18 voted to send a letter to the board of supervisors opposing the project. San Juan Bautista resident Cara Vonk urged county officials to reject the proposal, saying such a development would destroy the natural landscape San Benito County is known for. “We don’t need urban homogenization and fake Disneyland themes,” she said. Gina Paolini, a

member of the citizens group Preserve Our Rural Communities, said the group circulated a petition opposing the node project. “The county does not have a tourism base to support the hotels,” she said. “This project is not going to save the county that’s already in fiscal crisis, yet it will have longstanding impacts on the surrounding community.” Ben Bingaman, whose family owns Rocks Ranch, said only 2 percent of the land would be touched by development, with the rest remaining open space. “For 75 years, we have fought furiously for our ranch,” he said. “But at the same time, the county needs jobs. The county needs revenue. We can do a lot of things to mitigate and preserve our neighborhoods.”

More than 100 protest ICE ACTIVISTS, RESIDENTS MARCHED TO OFFICE IN MORGAN HILL Michael Moore Reporter

the area attended, along with activists from Gilroybased C.A.R.A.S. The crowd gathered at the corner of Monterey Road and Tennant Avenue and marched to the ICE field office on Vineyard Court, where many of them demanded the facility be closed. The demonstrators held signs denouncing the federal office’s immigration practices and Trump, and supporting civil rights for detainees. They sang peace hymns and chanted slogans such as, “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!” Morgan Hill resident Susan Betz said, when asked why she was protesting, “I’m appalled at the conditions that children, in particular, are being kept in. I don’t feel like it’s our country anymore.” As they marched, motorists blew their car horns and shouted at the protesters—mostly in support of the assembly. Once they reached the cul-de-sac in an industrial zone on Vineyard Court where the ICE office is located, several of the activists spoke about the issues they were protesting. “We have an administration that refuses to submit to the checks and balances that were constructed in

A July 12 protest outside a federal immigration office in South County preceded a weekend during which threatened raids and deportations of local undocumented immigrants—according to many accounts—didn’t ultimately materialize. On Monday, July 15, Eunice Hernandez of Sacred Heart Community Services and the Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network said a volunteer-run emergency hotline she helps manage did not receive any reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in local communities over the weekend. Hernandez was one of the lead organizers of the July 12 protest against ICE and federal immigration policies in Morgan Hill. The local Rapid Response Network was a frequent topic of discussion among the protest organizers, as attendees were encouraged to call the hotline any time they see ICE officers

making an arrest or conducting an investigation. The purpose of reporting such activity to the Rapid Response Network is to document any ICE arrests, raids or detentions so that activists and attorneys can ensure the civil rights of those arrested are not violated by federal officers, according to organizers. Protesters in Morgan Hill on July 12 railed against the administration of President Donald Trump, which has made it a practice to detain every foreign migrant— including asylum seekers—caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border until they are charged and tried, or until their asylum claims are processed. The protesters were also concerned with reportedly crowded, unhealthy conditions in which these migrants—including children—are housed in U.S. detention centers, and ICE officers’ practice of separating families who are caught crossing the southern border until their cases are resolved in the courts. More than 100 protesters of all ages and backgrounds—including some who traveled from San Benito County—attended the rally. Clergy members from several churches in

to recognize and tell truth.” The ICE facility in Morgan Hill is an Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) sub-office for the agency, which falls under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. ICE did not return a phone call requesting

comment about the July 12 protesters’ grievances. In addition to the Rapid Response Network and C.A.R.A.S., the South County activist group Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) also helped organize the July 12 protest.

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 will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. 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.

SJB official charged with assault, battery HEARINGS DELAYED IN THREE HOLLISTER MURDER CASES Michael Moore Reporter

San Juan Bautista City Councilmember Dan DeVries has been charged with three misdemeanors in relation to a May 24 suspected domestic violence incident. San Benito County District Attorney Candice Hooper’s office on June 21 filed charges of battery of a non-cohabiting spouse, assault by any means creating great injury and violation of a court order. DeVries, 54, was arrested the night of May 24 when the alleged victim called 911 to report that DeVries had assaulted her, according to the sheriff ’s office. The alleged incident happened at a residence on the 400 block of Fifth Street in San Juan Bautista. Deputies arrested DeVries on suspicion of domestic violence. He was released on $50,000 bail the same evening, according to authorities. One of the charges against DeVries is related to his alleged violation of an emergency protective order prohibiting him from contacting the victim, according to court records. He allegedly contacted the woman who accused him on May 25. DeVries is now subject to a criminal protective order, filed June 25, prohibiting him from

contacting the victim for three years, the court file details. Authorities have not released details about any injuries the victim might have suffered in the May 24 incident. DeVries’ next hearing on the case is scheduled for July 18 at San Benito County Courthouse, for a pretrial conference. DeVries could not be reached for comment.

Murder trial delayed

The murder trial for Jose Antonio Barajas, who is accused of killing a 19-yearold Hollister woman in 2014 and then hiding out in Mexico for nearly four years, has been delayed again. Barajas will return to court at the San Benito County Courthouse 9am July 18, for a hearing to set his trial date. Barajas has been in custody at the local jail since authorities extradited him from Mexico in July 2018 for charges related to the shooting death of Ariana Zendejas. He is charged with murder, three counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle. Zendejas was shot and killed during a confrontation on public streets between Barajas and another man, according to authorities. Barajas was a passenger in a vehicle chasing another car that had four occupants, including the male driver with whom

Barajas had previously been feuding. Zendejas was a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle that Barajas was chasing. Barajas opened fire with a handgun on the victims’ vehicle near B and West streets, hitting Zendejas with at least one of the bullets, according to police. The driver of the victims’ vehicle drove Zendejas to Hazel Hawkins Hospital, where police responded shortly after the shooting. Zendejas was pronounced dead later that evening. Barajas fled the area with the two occupants of the vehicle he was traveling in, and later left the country, according to police. He was arrested July 12, 2018, in Guadalajara, Mexico in relation to the Hollister shooting. He was extradited from Mexico and flown to San Jose, where he was transferred to the San Benito County Jail. The charges against Barajas also include “special allegations” for his use of a firearm in the crime, according to court documents. If convicted, Barajas faces life in prison.

Prelim hearing postponed for 2014 murder

The preliminary hearing for a Hollister man accused of killing Raul De La Rosa in 2014 was delayed last week. Christopher Larios, 32, of Hollister, appeared July 11 at San Benito County Courthouse to schedule

Sang Ji his preliminary hearing for his murder trial. However, that hearing was continued to Aug. 1, according to District Attorney Candice Hooper. Larios is charged with a felony count of murder, in addition to an enhancement for the use of a firearm. The charges relate to the Dec. 23, 2014 death of De La Rosa at a residence on the 2000 block of Scenic Circle in southeast Hollister. Police arrested Larios when he entered the Hollister police station April 21, 2019, and told officers he wanted to make a statement about the 2014 murder. Based on that interview, officers arrested Larios on suspicion of killing De La Rosa. He remains in the county jail in lieu of $1.05 million bail. Officers have not released any details about Larios’ motive or events leading up to the 2014 murder.

Sang Ji, 49, and Jung Choi, 45, appeared for a trial confirmation hearing at San Benito County Courthouse July 12. They were scheduled to return July 22 for a jury trial on charges that they murdered Yoon Ji in 2017, but that date was vacated, DA Candice Hooper said. The two suspects will next appear in court July 31 for a hearing on motions and the beginning of the trial, Hooper said. The two suspects remain in custody at San Benito

County Jail on suspicion of murdering Yoon Ji. Both have pleaded not guilty. Sang Ji and Yoon Ji owned Hollister Laundromat before Yoon Ji’s death. Sheriff’s deputies found Yoon Ji’s remains 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 on Dec. 2, 2017. The daughter told sheriff ’s authorities that she had not heard from her mother for about two weeks, according to police.

ALL STAR Ashlee Io, an incoming sixth grader at the Hollister Dual Language Academy, has been an integral player for the Hollister 11-and-under Little League All Star team. Hollister entered Monday’s Section 5 Tournament game needing to win to keep its season alive.

Ashlee Io has game A GIRL AMONG BOYS, AND IO IS THE REAL DEAL AS AN ALL STAR emanuel lee Sports Editor

Submitted

Approximately four years ago, Daniel Barone was assisting in teaching P.E. classes at Hollister Dual Language Academy when a student caught his eye. It was Ashlee Io, who is a utility player on the Hollister 11-and-under Little League All Star baseball team. “I saw her in class and she could run, she could catch and she looked like an athlete,” said Barone, the 11s manager. “She was a stud and I told her she needed to play baseball.” Io, who plays pitcher, first base and second base, was hesitant at first and decided to hold off on a decision. However, Barone refused to take no for an answer. “Daniel was very persistent,” said Rhonda Io, Ashlee’s mom. “Daniel’s persistence and me knowing her abilities and the level she was at, after a while we felt why not give it a try. It took some coaxing from Daniel, but it worked.” Io started playing in Hollister’s Little League organization when she was 8—she’s 11 now—and has

made the All Star team in each of her four years in the organization. Barone, who enjoyed a taste of the Major Leagues with the Florida Marlins—was effusive in his praise for Io. “She is one of my favorite players,” he said. “I actually begged her the year before to come out for the team, and she finally came out in the second year. She is amazing. She doesn’t cry, doesn’t complain about playing time or anything.” It’s true: Io doesn’t cry—at least when it comes to baseball. Growing up with two older brothers and two older cousins, Io remembers being told, “There is no crying in baseball.” She took that phrase to heart, but more important, Io took every opportunity to play baseball with boys several years older than her (her brothers are 20 and 16 and her cousins are 17 and 15, respectively), an experience that fueled her desire to compete. “It helped when they were tough on me,” she said. “They would tell me what I needed to work on and what I needed to get better at.” Io would take that knowledge and run with it, working on specific parts of her game, and making continued progress and improvement. Barone said taking information and transferring that to the actual field of play is one of Io’s greatest attributes. “She does everything you ask of

COMPETITION Ashlee Io grew up playing baseball with her two older brothers and two older cousins ( from left to right): Luke Brothers, Austin Io, Ryan Io, and Jack Brothers. Ashlee has been a perennial Little League All Star. her,” Barone said. “You tell her to do something, and that is exactly what you’re going to get. She’s amazing.” One of Io’s top individual highlights of the season came in the team’s win over Continental in the District 9 Tournament. Io needed just 10 pitches to retire the side in order, and she felt great about her performance. “I threw only one ball and the rest (nine) were strikes,” she said. Io feels comfortable being the only girl in Hollister Little League, a credit to the welcoming environment of the organization. In

essence, she fits right in because she is friendly, competitive and can flat-out play. “What Ashlee is doing isn’t a fluke,” Barone said. “This girl is a stud. She’s coachable and has some of the best mechanics out there, whether it’s fielding a ball or throwing the ball. Whenever (I’m showing a drill or giving an example) I tell the boys to look at Ashley and say that is what I want you to do. You explain it and she goes out and does it.” Io developed a high baseball IQ by playing with her brothers and cousins almost everyday from

the time she could basically walk. One of Io’s first memories of baseball involved a game called Amazing Catch, in which one of her brothers or cousins would throw a ball and Io had to make the catch. Io particularly enjoyed the more difficult catches she had to make. Io loves everything about baseball, from the camaraderie to the in-game plays that need to be made. She likes watching the MLB as well, with the San Francisco Giants being her favorite team. She made it a point to emphasize that she’s not exactly fond of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

OBITUARIES PATSY TERESA ZUNIGA OCTOBER 14, 1943 - JULY 12, 2019

atsy Teresa Zuniga passed away peacefully from a short but critical illness at Stanford Hospital on July 12, 2019 at the age of 75. She was surrounded by her husband, Aurelio Zuniga, and three children Teri McManus, Rachel Zuniga, and Elaine Klauer. Patsy was born in Piru, California to Tomas and Maria Martinez, Mexican immigrants from Guanajuato and Zacatecas, Mexico. Patsy is an alumnus of San Benito High School. She graduated in 1961 and later married her high school sweetheart, Aurelio Zuniga, in 1964 after he was discharged from the National Guard. They both found jobs in Silicon Valley and were settled in Mountain View with their three children. Patsy and her family later moved

to Hollister to help run the family restaurant, Progresso Tamale Parlour, in Hollister, California. Patsy had a special place in her heart for family, the arts, community service, and genealogy. After both her parents passed away, Patsy began looking at her family lineage. She started at the Family History Center, and in two years she was able to trace her family tree to the early 1600’s. She had the opportunity to visit relatives in Jerez, Zacatecas and visit the birthplace of her father and the graves of her grandparents. Her rich Mexican heritage was very important to her, and her artwork evolved over time, reflecting her culture. Patsy was an accomplished artist and member of the San Benito County Arts Commission, Tri-County Arts Commission, and San Benito Artist Club for over 20 years. She focused on local landscape scenes with familiar locations like the San Juan Bautista Mission, local Victorian homes, agricultural scenes, barns, flowers, and her grandchildren. Her art mediums included oil paintings, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, pencil sketches, collage, mixed media, and photography. Her work was displayed at the local family restaurant Progresso’s, Hazel Hawkins Hospital, Mars Hill, San Benito County Library, City Hall, and she participated in many Open Studio Art Shows for the Hollister Art League. Her passion for art and guiding others’ creativity

was an important part of her legacy as an artist in the Hollister community. She empowered youth through art scholarships and supported art design in her hometown including the artistic design of St. Benedict’s Church. Throughout her life, Patsy also stayed active in the Hollister community. She was a member of the San Benito County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and served as president for 2 years. She participated in many Committees including the Hollister Downtown Association, Galleria Tonantzin, County Fair Arts Department, and Toastmasters Club. Patsy was a dedicated member of LULAC and served as the chairperson for the annual Hispanic Women in Action Reception. Patsy was honored as the 1999 San Benito County LULAC Woman of the Year and went on to receive the National LULAC Woman of the Year Award in Corpus Christi, Texas. Patsy was a kind, quiet woman always with a smile on her face. She was considered an unsung hero who never wanted recognition for her dedication and hard work. She has been recognized by senators, Board of Supervisors, City Council, and Chamber of Commerce members. Most importantly, Patsy was a proud grandmother and great-grandmother. She was regularly seen painting with grandchildren at the kitchen table and encouraged them to enter their work in

100 YEARS OF SERVICE TO SAN BENITO COUNTY

the San Benito County Fair. She always had her camera in hand and kept detailed picture albums of all family celebrations. She had a unique relationship with each and every grandchild and great-grandchild; she will be greatly missed. Patsy is preceded in death by her parents Tomas and Maria Martinez and brother Pasqualito. She is survived by 7 siblings, Vincent Martinez (Lydia), Trino Martinez (Frieda), Rose Bishop (Gene), Joby Weitz, Esther Johnson (Karl), Lupe Katsuda (Lee, deceased), and Margie Herzog (Monty). Devoted wife to Aurelio Zuniga and mother to her three children, Theresa McManus (Thomas, deceased), Rachel Zuniga, and Elaine Klauer. She was grandmother to 8: TJ McManus, Adrianna McManus, Amanda Garcia, Tiana Garcia, Alora Garcia, Kayla Klauer, Lauren Klauer, and Ian Klauer. Great Grandmother to Andre Pio, Jayda Pio, Raiden Pio, Hunter Carmona, and baby Pio on the way. She is also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. The family has designated the local LULAC Council #2890, the San Benito Arts Council, and the American Cancer Society for memorial contributions c/o the mortuary. A memorial mass will be celebrated at 11am, July 18, 2019 at Sacred Heart Church in Hollister followed by a burial at Calvary Cemetery.
