Teacher sues Loma Prieta school district
Drew Penner, Reporter
The Loma Prieta Joint Union School District is defending its decision to fire teacher David Kissner, who is suing the district for wrongful termination, harassment and civil rights violations, among other things. The lawsuit was filed Feb. 16 in U.S. District Court by Los Angeles-based Freedom X Law. Kissner was terminated by the school district last December following a hearing held by a three-member Commission on Professional Competence. The commission found him “unfit for service,” saying Kissner failed to properly supervise four teenagers he took
As General Plan Update Advisory Committee (GPAC) Chair Melanie Hanssen got a peek—along with other Housing Element Advisory Board (HEAB) members—at the two digital tools Los Gatos will use to propose its contribution to combatting California’s housing crisis, she forecast a hearty community back-and-forth on the horizon. Invoking the specter of the North 40 project approval, which saw blocky, nu-tech townhomes start to rise along Highway 17 and resulted in few affordable units planned, she predicted Feb. 17 homeowners might just start to come around to the benefits of density. “I have a hypothesis, that even though people are terrified about having any development in low-density residential, that if they start thinking about 4 or 5 or 6 North 40s, they might feel like, ‘Maybe we should spread it around a little bit more,’” she said, asking about what working with one public engagement tool may ➝ Housing, 6

Legislators respond to incidents at Los Gatos meetings Staff Report
Senator Dave Cortese (D-Silicon Valley) and Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Silicon Valley) introduced a bill Feb. 17 they say would update a law that governs public meetings. The Ralph M. Brown Act was originally enacted in 1953 to govern the conduct of public meetings for local legislative bodies, but many provisions in the Brown Act remain antiquated, according to the legislators. In 2021, as local officials in Silicon Valley including AAPI public officials such as then-Los Gatos Mayor Marico Sayoc were targeted by conservative demonstrators, Cortese and Low expressed their support for establishing mechanisms to de-escalate disruptions during public meetings that interrupt public business. SB 1100 by Cortese and Low would
create a process to restore order when disruptions occur that prevent a meeting from continuing in accordance with law. “This is for the safety of our public, and the safety of our public officials,” Cortese said. “Across California, public officials and attendees continue to deal with disorderly conduct during meetings at such a high magnitude that critical business and the legislative process as a whole has become significantly impaired.” “It is critical for us to have transparency in the legislative process while also ensuring that we maintain the safety of the public and our public officials who continue to support our community each and every day,” Low said. The Brown Act, as it stands, authorizes a legislative body to address disruptions through removal of an individual or group of individuals who “willfully interrupt” the proceedings of a public meeting. But the legislators say what constitutes a “willful inter-
ruption” remains vague in the law. SB 1100 would define what a “willful interruption” is to ensure an individual is removed from a public meeting if they substantially impair or render infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting in accordance with law and establish a warning system to require that removal of an individual causing a willful interruption be preceded by a request that the individual curtail their disruptive behavior or be subject to removal. “Local government is the essence of democracy,” Sayoc said. “It's where elected officials and constituents come together to make their communities stronger and more vibrant. I look forward to collaborating with Senator Cortese and Assemblymember Low as they work to ensure local governments can continue to serve their residents without disruptions caused by malicious attempts to intimidate people who are participating in democracy.” The bill will now move through various committee hearings.

Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve expands south of Los Gatos Bay City News Service
The largest preserve in the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District just got a little bigger, with the purchase of 42 acres in the Mount Umunhum area of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, district officials said Feb. 9. The property, purchased for $168,000, is located on slopes above Soda Spring Canyon and is surrounded by the Sierra Azul Preserve on three sides with private property to the south, according to the district. The newly acquired acreage expands the preserve to nearly 19,344 acres and protects a greenbelt of connected habitat and wildlife corridors. The large preserve, south of Los Gatos and San Jose, encompasses much of the Sierra Azul range and its

foothills in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The new area is dominated by California bay laurel forest, and provides habitat for several animal species, including deer, coyotes, foxes, bobcats and mountain lions, along with a wide variety of birds, small mammals, including dusky-footed woodrats and many other resident and migratory species. The property is not accessible by existing roads, has no improvements
or utilities and is currently closed to public access. It falls within the Guadalupe Creek and Upper Los Gatos Creek watersheds and includes an intermittent tributary of Soda Springs Creek, which flows directly into the Lexington Reservoir. Copyright © 2022 Bay City News, Inc. All rights reserved.

entail. “Will there be an opportunity for people using the Balancing Act to take buckets—like ADUs or SB9— and increase those to help get to the RHNA?” Translation: Is it possible to play around with this fancy software in a way that projects whether or not expected accessory dwelling unit (ADU) production and lot-splits will help Los Gatos to reach the lofty goal of inviting 1,993 new units, as required in the upcoming eight-year Regional Housing Needs Allocation cycle? “For those two specifically, it’s a little challenging,” said Joel Paulson, the Town’s community development director. “We are confident, currently, that we’re going to be able to say that we’re going to produce 200 ADUs in the next eight-year cycle.” Los Gatos is still waiting for clarity from Sacramento about how many of these planners are allowed to count, he added. But on the other hand, Paulson suggested, if the Housing Element is able to unlock 1,993 potential home sites within Balancing Act before the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has figured out its rule, those newly-created housing programs (ADUs and SB9 lots) might come into play as the “buffer” Los Gatos is required to set up. “They’re dealing with the entire state, so they’re often a little cau-
tious on being willing to make those statements,” he said, referring to how HCD is mulling what it should say on the matter. “So, we start at the 1,993, and it might be that that number is actually more than the buffer that’s necessary.” This was just one question in the open salvo of a required development process that some analysts predict will change the nature of Los Gatos in significant ways. California brought in the Housing Element law back in 1969, as a way to make sure local governments were adequately designing ways for community members to live within the borders of their municipalities. Speaking during the public comment portion of Los Gatos’ Housing Element meeting, Planning Commissioner Kylie Clark, wearing her West Valley Community Services hat, offered to put commissioners in touch with low-income residents. “We see first-hand the importance of equitable housing in our community,” she said. “Naturally, we also see the importance of the Housing Element. We truly are at a critical point in our town’s history.” In fact, the service provider will host a Zoom session March 2 from 6-7:30pm titled “Envisioning an Inclusive Los Gatos Housing Element 101,” she added, noting the panel will feature two of its clients and a housing
TOWN APPOINTS NEW HR DIRECTOR Salina Flores to take over from retiring Lisa Velasco Staff Report
Los Gatos has named the person who will be in charge of the human clockwork that makes the local government tick. Salina Flores, the acting HR manager for the City of Campbell, will become the Town’s new human resources director, since Lisa Velasco, who is currently in the role, is retiring. Flores will join the Los Gatos team Feb. 28. “We are excited to have Salina join the Town,” Town Manager Laurel Prevetti said in a release. “She brings strong human resources experience, understands the challenges of small agencies, and brings new ideas and perspectives.” As the top HR staffer, she will oversee everything from administering benefits, to recruiting additional talent, to negotiating with bargaining units— and more. “Among her responsibilities, Salina will play a key role in attracting, developing and retaining a high quality workforce who deliver excellent services to the community of Los Gatos,” Prevetti added. Torrance-based Teri Black & Company, LLC ran the recruitment drive. Finalists were evaluated by Prevetti, other administrators and outside experts. Flores has two decades of HR experience in the public and private sectors, officials said, noting she’s been employed by Campbell since 2016. Courtesy of Town of Los Gatos

developer, as well as Ande Flower, one of the consultants Los Gatos is relying on. At the Feb. 17 meeting, Flower, who is the principal planner for EMC Planning Group, began to give the Housing Element members a virtual walk-through of the programs they’ll be using. “We like to work with emoticons, because it helps us gauge immediately whether somebody is unhappy—or very happy—about a site being included on the list,” he said, explaining how part of his job will be to collect and organize comments from the public. “In our experience, people almost always take the time to let us know why they’re feeling that way about a particular site.” Ryan Rosenberg, who was appointed to HEAB as a representative of the public, said he wanted to understand what happens when identifying a housing site through the software. “I understand you mentioned, like, 500 parcels, and we’re going to go through them, and we’ll get lots of input from the Town and the community,” he said. “Once we put the sites on a list, does that mean that the Town then changes zoning for those sites? What does it actually mean to put the parcels on the list? What actually happens with those?” The short answer, from staff: It’s complicated. But Hanssen, who previously served on HEAB alongside Vice Mayor Maria Ristow (also on this round’s board), came back with more of a nuts-and-bolts reality-check. Her message for Rosenberg: Get ready to roll up your sleeves, because it’s not going to be as simple as placing parcels on a list and letting tech do the rest. “The lion’s share of the work that we did was exactly in looking at different sites, figuring out if the criteria were appropriate,” she said. “It was really months and months of going through the sites and whether or not they were appropriate or not. Whether or not it was reasonable that they might redevelop, and so on and so forth. So, that’s the work that we will be doing.” Los Gatos expects to hold a community meeting about its housing goals in late March, with an eye toward a full-throated housing inventory analysis in April. The Town has to have its RHNA plan ready by Jan. 31, 2023.

KISSNER FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST DISTRICT Teacher, from page 1 mination,” saying it was not about politics but Kissner’s “lack of professionalism and misconduct as an educator.” Grier included a link to the report submitted by the Commission on Professional Competence, which addressed another Kissner controversy: an April 2019 non-school outing to Death Valley, when four boys aged 15-17 accompanied Kissner to Las Vegas to purchase a vehicle part for his broken down trailer.
‘It’s a soap opera roiling the mountain community.’
The commission’s report says Kissner purchased a bottle of whiskey before he and the boys checked into a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Two of the boys drank some of the whiskey, the commission concluding that Kissner “took no effective steps to stop (the students) from consuming it.” The report also points out that Kissner did not stop two of the students from “exploring the Las Vegas Strip on foot.” The teens returned to the hotel room at dawn, the report says. As the Kissner controversy moves into its third year, parents are again taking sides—with one parent telling the Los Gatan that “it’s a soap opera roiling the mountain community.” The K-8 Loma Prieta school district is in unincorporated Los Gatos, enrolling some 500 students from both Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Loma Prieta Elementary and C.T. English Middle School are Los Gatos High School “feeder” schools. Kissner was hired in 2012 as a math and science teacher. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a Marine veteran. The lawsuit describes Kissner as a devout Christian who has been a “welcome voice” for disenfranchised community members.

to Las Vegas; refused to follow directives from Principal Billy Martin and then-Superintendent Lisa Fraser; and had “unprofessional” communications with parents. Kissner’s 80-plus page lawsuit claims he was fired “based on false and fabricated evidence intended to damage his reputation and impugn his moral character.” It includes details of a March 2018 controversy, when Kissner gave failing grades to three students who skipped a quiz so they could participate in the National Student Walkout against gun violence. Kissner was placed on a seven-day leave following the walkout, although the district did not publicly state a reason for his involuntary leave. Kissner’s attorneys argue the school district violated Kissner’s First Amendment rights because he objected to the district decision that allowed students to attend the walkout. It calls the walkout a “politically organized scheme to influence and indoctrinate impressionable youth into taking a specific anti-Second Amendment political position.” At the time, the controversy caused a great deal of rancor among parents and students, some of whom supported Kissner and some who did not. Fast forward two years, when Kissner stirred up the community once again by opposing the 2020 Measure N school parcel tax extension. Here again the lawsuit says Kissner’s civil rights were violated because he was “personally and publicly targeted for his opposition to Measure N, including by many school employees.” Loma Prieta Superintendent Kevin Grier disputed Kissner’s allegations, issuing a statement on Feb. 18 that said, “Our district respects the due process and privacy rights of our employees and normally does not disclose information or publicly discuss employee disciplinary matters. However, the egregious nature of Mr. Kissner’s lies, misrepresentations, unprofessional conduct with minors and continuing disruptive behavior has prompted us to set the record straight.” Grier called the lawsuit a “desperate attempt to divert public attention away from the real reasons for his ter-

Los Gatos needs community-based mediation By Jeffrey P. Blum
Perhaps I’ve read too many articles and listened to too many podcasts decrying the level of vitriol and partisanship existing in Washington D.C. and in many communities throughout the country. Add to this sorry situation the scenes of conflict I’ve seen on television and those I’ve witnessed at some recent Los Gatos town council meetings. The toxicity makes me want to see something done before another terrible event occurs. My background and work as a mediator impel me to want to pursue mediation for every major issue I read about, hear about or witness. It’s an affliction or a blessing, depending on the day and my mood. Presently, I am compelled to argue that Los Gatos, like innumerable communities throughout the country, needs a mediation program for resolving local disputes. There are limits to what is feasible but that should not prevent our town from considering the idea.

I am compelled to argue that Los Gatos, like
8
innumerable communities throughout the country, needs a mediation program for resolving local disputes.
Jeffrey P. Blum
For several years I served as a volunteer mediator with Palo Alto’s Mediation Program, which handles hundreds of landlord tenant disputes, neighbor-to-neighbor disputes, and disputes between merchants and customers nearly every year. The program is very successful, and it costs the city little since the trained mediators are volunteers. Most of the cases in Palo Alto are landlord tenant disputes. Los Gatos has a rental dispute resolution program, which covers many types of disputes between a current tenant and the landlord. These include rental increases, repairs and maintenance, and invasion of privacy. The program is administered by Project Sentinel in Santa Clara, which also administers Palo Alto Mediation Program’s landlord tenant program. However, Los Gatos does not have a formal community-based program to address neighbor-to-neighbor disputes, merchant-customer disputes, or other types of disputes. Through my involvement with the Palo Alto Mediation program I learned about SEEDS Resolution Center, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community-based organization that has been providing mediation, facilitation, training and restorative justice to residents, organizations and schools in the Bay Area since 1983. SEEDS mediates disputes between neighbors, friends, families, landlords and tenants, those in business relationships, and court litigants. It also provides conflict resolution counseling services, it refers disputants to oth-
er services and agencies, and it serves as a resource for people wanting to learn about mediation and other alternate dispute resolution related issues and activities. SEEDS also facilitates programs to guide organizations and groups in their deliberation and decision-making processes and it holds workshops and training for individuals, corporations and city agencies in conflict resolution. SEEDS additionally provides training on restorative justice practices for individuals, schools, and other organizations. Berkeley Dispute Resolution Service (BDRS), which started in the early 1980s and which eventually merged with SEEDS, provides a potential model for the approach Los Gatos might take to implement a community-based mediation program. BDRS arose when a committee formed by the Berkeley Mayor and City Manager determined that conflict impaired civility and brought gridlock to some aspects of civic life. Do those problems sound familiar? The committee recommended that the city provide initial funding to a group of citizens who had begun developing an independent, community-based conflict resolution program. This financial and vocal support from the city allowed BDRS to get going.
In addition to offering community mediation services, BDRS piloted city-based services in Alameda County, using mediation as an integral part of administrative processes for zoning/land use permits, tree-view ordinances and police-citizen complaints. A mediation program in Los Gatos could begin by handling neighbor-to-neighbor disputes, merchant and customer disputes, and family disputes. It could then, after mediators receive additional training, move on to handling disputes between perpetrators and victims of minor crimes and handling other types of disputes, including administrative matters. As with the existing programs administered by Project Sentinel, mediators could be recruited and trained to mediate. Residents concerned with the poor quality of civic engagement we sometimes see or who are interested in otherwise working through mediation to make our town a more unified place to live and work, should contact me to discuss next steps, which logically includes preparing a community-based mediation business model to present to the town council. My email address is blumesq@aol.com. Jeffrey P. Blum is a family law mediator who lives in Los Gatos.
TO THE EDITOR State shouldn’t profit on grieving children A family member dying and passing the family home onto their child or grandchild should not be a taxable event. Prop. 19 allows property to be reassessed to market value when it passes from parents to children, resulting in a massive property tax increase so costly that children may be forced to sell family properties because they can’t afford the annual tax bill. The CA State General Fund currently has a surplus of $45 billion so the state
doesn’t need the grieving children of a loved one to pay taxes on a property inherited. I am a local realtor opposed to the California Association of Realtors’ support for “The Death Tax” Prop. 19.

SPORTS LOS GATOS SETS SCHOOL RECORDS AT CCS CHAMPIONSHIPS Jonathan Natividad
Wildcats finish with six state qualifiers, nine medalists
f e bruary 23- march 1, 20 22 : losgatan.com

Los Gatos High senior Daniil Gorshkov went undefeated with a 4-0 record in the Central Coast Section Wrestling Championships Feb. 18-19, dominating each opponent that stood in front of him. He battled his way in the two-day tournament to a first-place finish against Palo Alto senior Max Felter, edging him in a 1-0 decision in front of a packed house of the gymnasium at Watsonville High School. Gorshkov mentioned that winning the CCS title was nice to add to his resume and it was something that was expected of him, but that wasn’t the ultimate goal. “This tournament was for the team mostly,” he said. “You take the championship and it sounds pretty nice, but we wanted to upset Gilroy this year. It did not happen, but I believe this is not our best team, yet.” Instead, the Wildcats finished with several school records starting with the most team points scored (217) and nine medalists, including four that reached the finals. The team also produced a record-setting six state qualifiers. Even though Los Gatos finished a distant second to Gilroy—which won a 19th consecutive CCS title—it represented the Mustangs’ lowest margin of victory since 2005, when they edged Los Gatos, 186-175. In other words, the surging Wildcats are coming for Gilroy. “It’s a great team, what can I say?” Gorshkov said. “When I started off, I wasn’t as close with the guys on the team and now everybody’s spending time together.” Gilroy won the team title with 312.5 points, followed by Los Gatos in second, Saint Francis (167.5) in third, Fremont (142.5) in fourth and Palma (115.5) to round off the top-5. Gorshkov went into his finals match against Felter calm, cool and collected, especially because he had seen this same opponent twice this season. But, they were scoreless through the

first round. Gorshkov didn’t record a point on the board until the second period after he escaped from Felter, giving him a 1-0 lead. It was all he needed to claim victory and an automatic qualifying berth to this week’s CIF State Championships. “I don’t like winning close like that, obviously I want a dominant match, get some takedowns and stuff like that,” Gorshkov said. “It didn’t happen today but I’ll take what I got.” This is the final season of wrestling for Gorshkov but he knows the team will be in great shape after he’s gone. Starting with E.J. Parco, who was one of those four finalists and the first sophomore at Los Gatos to win a CCS title. He won the 138-pound division final and a trip to the CIF State Championships after a 4-2 decision against senior Donte Lopez of Gilroy High. “It feels pretty crazy because last year we didn’t have a season,” Parco said. “Just going into this year, fresh, first year in the league, first year in everything, it feels good.”
During the finals match, Parco said that Lopez got him on a takedown but he didn’t think too much about it, keeping his focus for the duration of the match. They were tied at 2-all in the second round and Parco said that’s when he began to break down his opponent midway through the match. “I tilted him and that began snowballing into the win,” he said. A swift move in the third period put Parco ahead by two, which was good enough for the title. “It meant a lot because I knew if I won this it’d boost my mentality, it’d boost my mentality for state and it was a good win,” he said. Los Gatos junior Anthony Ramirez (145 pounds) was the runner-up to Sobrato High sophomore Clemente Holguin after an 8-1 decision in the division final. Sergiy Nyzhnyk (182), a senior, was runner-up after a 5-2 decision loss to Palo Alto senior Cade Creighton. Timmy Murabito (132), a sophomore, also qualified for the state cham-
pionships after a 13-6 decision victory for third place over Leland High senior Nathan Vasquez. Other medalists for the Wildcats include junior Peter Bowen (126), who finished fourth after he was pinned by freshman Daniel Zepeda of Gilroy. In the light heavyweight divisions, sophomore Oleksandr Nyzhnyk (195) claimed fifth place with a 2-1 decision win over Alisal High junior Diego Chazidez. Om Shastri (220), a junior, finished sixth after a loss to Mountain View High senior Calvin Conaway. Dylan Lucas, a senior and lineman on the football team, placed third in the 285-pound division to qualify for a state berth. Lucas probably had the most incredible run of any wrestler in all the weight classes. After two byes through the first two rounds, Lucas lost a narrow 3-2 decision to get sent to the consolation bracket. From there, he had to win five consecutive matches just to reach the third-place match, which he won, 5-2. Gorshkov said he had a pep talk with Lucas, who is a first-year wrestler, at the beginning of the week and told him all he had to do was be tough to wrestle hard to place at CCS. “He did it, Dylan wrestled as hard as he could, very tough, got his face bloodied up and I think this is the highlight of the day for me,” Gorshkov said. “Not my championship, I expected this for myself. But Dylan took third place and he’s going to state.” Parco, who is also making his first trip to the state championships, said he’s going back to the drawing board and he will work on some moves to get better for the big tournament. But for the most part, it’ll be business as usual when it comes time to hit the mat. “I’m gonna keep my mind right, I’m gonna go in every match, have fun and do the best I can,” he said. “Leave everything out on the mat.” The CIF State Wrestling Championships will take place at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield beginning Thursday. The championships take place Saturday at 6:15pm. For information, visit cifs tate.org/ sports/wrestling/wr_champ_info
LOS GATOS GIRLS GO TO THE ‘BELLE’ EARLY AND OFTEN Super sophomore Belle Bramer leads the Wildcats’ charge Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor
It was a Super Sunday in more ways than one for the Los Gatos High girls basketball team. On Feb. 13—the day of the Super Bowl—the Wildcats had a key game of their own against arch-nemesis Palo Alto High in the final league game of the season. Two weeks earlier, the Vikings extended their win streak over Los Gatos to 13 games, dating all the way back to the 2015-2016 season. But Los Gatos (21-3)—which is the top seed in the Central Coast Section Division I playoffs—completely turned the tables in the rematch, rolling to a 55-31 victory. Even though Palo Alto had already clinched the Santa Clara Valley League’s De Anza Division championship, the Wildcats’ victory was significant. “That was our team highlight because it had been a while since Los Gatos had beaten them,” sophomore standout Belle Bramer said. “They’re
our rivals and we didn’t just beat them—we beat them by 20 to 30 points. That was our peak and our team chemistry grew even more from that game.” That’s saying something considering the girls already had tremendous cohesion prior to the Palo Alto game, Bramer said. The Wildcats are prohibitive favorites to reach the section final, where it would most likely take on a highly-rated Evergreen Valley team. No matter what happens, Bramer said it’s been a memorable season, on and off the court. “We all get along super well, and we’re friends and hang out outside of basketball which really grew our season,” Bramer said. “One of the reasons why we play well on the court is because we’re friends off the court.” With just 10 players on the roster before the usual spate of junior varsity and freshmen call-ups for the playoffs, Los Gatos has had to rely on the likes of Bramer, Nicole Steiner, Jeanette Grasty, Casey Brennan, Claire Galbo, Ashley Childers and Keira Dodd to log a lot of minutes. Wildcats coach Sara Quilici Giles
said Bramer is the catalyst of the team, and with good reason. The 6-foot Bramer can do it all, from bringing the ball up court, hitting shots from the outside and mid-range, driving to the basket and playing tenacious defense against quick guards or big centers. Her long wingspan and instincts have resulted in a bevy of steals that usually leads to layups either for Bramer or her teammates. Even though opponents have become weary of Bramer’s defense, they still make passes that get intercepted by her because passing lanes that appear to be open close up fast with Bramer around. Last spring, Bramer’s freshman season consisted of 12 league games and two non-league contests. Bramer did well but ultimately the season for her was an afterthought. Los Gatos finished 6-8 and at that point, Covid’s impact on high school sports was still near its peak. “I don’t even remember last season,” she said. After the season was over, Bramer was as motivated as ever, running two miles each morning to keep her conditioning up. And just when Bramer’s Jonathan Natividad

motivation started waning, it was time for her travel ball season with the San Jose Cagers. The age-group team Bramer was on traveled to Idaho, Texas and Los Angeles for tournaments, and at each stop Bramer had time to do some sight-seeing and enjoy the experience. The club season bled right into Los Gatos’ preseason training, and Bramer returned to school a more complete player. “I really got better over the summer and that was my mindset after last year’s high school season ended,” she said. “I really wanted to make an impact this season and help the team be successful.” The Wildcats have three freshmen— Steiner, Childers and Ella Rabitz—who have made sizable impacts and fit right into the team’s dynamic. “It’s great because coming into this season, we knew we’d be adding three freshmen who were pretty good,” Bramer said. “I had grown up with them since middle school so it was pretty exciting even before the season started.” Bramer has had a terrific season, highlighted by a 28-point performance in a win over Branham in late December and the second Palo Alto game in which she helped break a Palo Alto press that had given the team fits in the first meeting between the teams. “I feel like I played my best in that Palo Alto game even though I didn’t score as many points,” she said. “I felt really good about my passes and my decisions.” If the Wildcats can take care of business against San Benito and then most likely Los Altos in the semifinals, they would have a probable matchup with an Evergreen Valley squad that is the top-ranked Division I team in the CCS, according to Max Preps (Los Gatos is No. 3). With three prominent freshmen, two outstanding sophomores in Bramer and Galbo and two juniors in Brennan and Dodd, the Wildcats are set up for multiple league and section title runs in the next couple of years. Los Gatos’ lone CCS championship came in 1982—20-plus years before any of the players on the team were born—and it has been runner-up three times: in 1978, 1984 and 2017. But this year’s team has a chance to end the long title drought.

Iconic collector, traveler Gracie Garcia dies at 82 Contributed
Managed Los Gatos business in 1980s
COVID-19 TESTING AVAILABLE AT REC CENTER
Erik Chalhoub, Managing Editor
Gracie Garcia, a lifelong collector, world traveler and longtime manager of the Main Street Exchange in Los Gatos in the 1980s, died on Feb. 10 following a stroke she suffered in December. She was 82. Tika Burns, one of Garcia’s four children, said her mother was passionate about antiques for as long as anyone can remember. She rejected most newly made things, son David Garcia said, possibly because they could not match the beauty and quality of something that has been around for generations. “I don’t think in our entire life she ever went into a new furniture store,” he said. “She always bought beautiful used stuff.”

She was known to make friends with anyone who

stepped foot into Gilroy Antiques. Every international trip would result in a new item, or multiple things, for her collection. “The world is her marketplace,” David said. Garcia was born in San Jose in 1939, growing up in Campbell and graduating from Campbell High School. The family lived in San Jose until moving to Morgan Hill in 1969, where Garcia pursued her other love of animals. They moved to a home on Fifth Street in Gilroy in 1977, where Garcia lived up until her passing.

Gracie Garcia
While living in Gilroy, Garcia commuted to manage the Main Street Exchange in Los Gatos. But after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake damaged the building, Garcia began floating around the idea of opening her own store, preferably closer to home. It was about this time that the hardware store at 7445 Monterey St. in downtown Gilroy had closed up shop, leaving the building available. Garcia purchased the building, and Gilroy Antiques opened its doors. Countless people have walked through the doors to view and purchase Garcia’s eclectic displays of furniture, kitchenware, artwork, jewelry and any type of collectible imaginable, or just to chat with the proprietor herself. She was known to make friends with anyone who stepped foot into Gilroy Antiques, and she often invited people to view the large apartment upstairs that would make any collector swoon. Most of her store’s merchandise was acquired through private parties, according to a previous Gilroy Dispatch article, where Garcia described herself as a collector first and dealer second. Her taste in goods definitely leaned toward the Victorian era, her children said. Planning is underway for a celebration of life.

COUNTY OFFICE OF ED RELEASES REPORT ON WELLNESS CENTERS The Santa Clara County Office of Education recently released a research brief about the importance of expanding school-based wellness centers and programs amid a youth mental health crisis. “The youth mental health crisis manifests every day in schools, contributing to higher drop-out rates, student disengagement, chronic absenteeism, increased disciplinary actions and the tragic loss of students,” said Mary Ann Dewan, County Superintendent of Schools, in a newly released research brief on the efficacy of implementing a school-based approach to student wellness. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issues and accelerated the need for youth mental health services. According to the research brief, in the first year of the pandemic, intentional self-harm among 13- to 18-year-olds increased by 91%, overdoses increased by 95%, and diagnoses of major depressive disorders increased by 84%. The SCCOE supported schools across Santa Clara County in establishing wellness centers and programs with support from the Mental Health Student Service Act Grant. To inform this work, the SCCOE Youth Advisory Group was created to ensure diverse backgrounds, perspectives and identities were heard in the creation of these programs and centers. One wellness center recorded more than 700 student visits in the first week, according to the SCCOE.
