ANGUISH AND GRATITUDE AT MEMORIAL FOR VICTIMS OF 2021 SHOOTING

Wildcats junior Hannah Slover wins high jump competition

Responders affected by tragedy urged to call Resiliency Center

Emanuel Lee,Sports Editor

For the first time since 2014, Los Gatos High has an individual state track and field champion.

Wildcats junior Hannah Slover joined rarefied air when she won the girls high jump competition in the CIF State Championships May 27-28 at Veterans Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High in Clovis. With a winning mark of 5 feet, 6 inches, Slover joined five previous athletes—Bob Brannan, Ivan Moen, Nick Kay, Nico Weiler and Greta Wagner—as Los Gatos High individual state champions.

As radio commentators on Silicon Valley airwaves analyzed the latest mass shooting in Texas, local officials gathered outside a mental health facility in San Jose to mark the year that’s passed since the one that happened on Valley Transportation Authority property.

On May 26, 2021, Valley Transportation Authority employee Samuel James Cassidy, 57, killed nine people at a rail yard before committing suicide.

One year later, a commemorative event was held at the 526 Resiliency Center—formerly the VTA Resiliency Center—which is being relaunched to provide counseling and workshops to transit workers and first responders, their families, and the wider community.

The District Attorney’s Office says the center will also raise awareness about workplace violence and help to identify problems before they happen.

MOTIVATION Tin Tin Wisniewski says she’s hooked on working out at the new SPENGA fitness studio on Los Gatos Boulevard.

Wellness brands, public join new gym owners for opening Drew Penner, Reporter

Cheers rang out from a group of young women at the sparkling fitness studio in northern Los Gatos, May 25.

One of them, 36-year-old Cibele Menezes, had just received word from the SPENGA head office in Chicago they’d officially certified her to teach at their gyms.

“I just passed an audition, so I’m going to be coaching,” she announced. “This is my passion.”

It was a glorious moment to cap off an exciting evening for Dan Waters and Mike Potenza, as they’d invited wellness brands from around the region to participate in the ribbon-cutting for their new franchise at 15505 Los Gatos Blvd.

The festivities included free B12 shots from one provider, giveaways of water bottles, a yoga mat and other health-related gear, free red and white wine and fresh-cooked tacos.

Melissa Hutchinson, the assistant manager of Urban Remedy, said SPENGA asked them to come in to showcase their organic and vegan nutrition options.

She said attendees seemed eager to make lifestyle improvements.

“Everybody wants to be healthy,” she said. “Vegan is the way to go. It’s the medicine.”

Dr. Renee Young, the founder of the Young Naturopathic Center, who’s lived in town for two decades, said she felt it was important to support the launch of a new fitness business focused on keeping people healthy, given the shortcomings of American health care.

“Health is so important,” she said.

“Our current system is more of a ‘sick care’ instead of a ‘health care’ system.”

The cool thing about SPENGA, she said, is they meld cardiovascular workouts with strength training. The brandnew mats and blocks laid out along the floor pointed to the yoga aspect of the company’s approach to working out.

Getting back in shape after the pandemic will come with massive benefits, she continued.

“Exercise will lower your blood sugar,” Young said. “It will even improve your sex life.”

From what she’s seen, Los Gatos is full of people who support active living.

“It’s a very health-minded community,” she said. “People are looking to get back to life and get fit.”

Potenza says his 16 seasons as director of strength and conditioning for the San Jose Sharks have given him a masterclass in fine-tuning movement,

muscle-toning and flexibility.

“It’s very rewarding to work with the high-level athlete in the success of winning games in your quest to win a championship,” he said. “They need the strength element, and they most certainly need the mobility and the flexibility element to reduce the risk of injury.”

These principles translate directly for non-athletes, too, according to the 43-year-old.

“We can do those same types of activities, just at a lower level,” he said. “We very much want to see our members reach their goals.”

Because, when you give people something to strive for, they start to take ownership over their own health, he explained.

“You can motivate through education,” Potenza said. “We want to be on that journey with them. We want to give them all the tools.”

Potenza got to know Waters after their wives met at a playground and hit it off.

Waters comes from the technology industry—he was one of the first Siri employees, before it was acquired by Apple. But the 56-year-old swam and played water polo in college.

After attending Iowa State University for electrical engineering, and then the Kellogg School of Business, he got a job at Motorola. ➝ SPENGA, 8

RESILIENCY CENTER PROVIDES COUNSELING

colored by the killing of 19 students and two teachers in a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, two days earlier—and another mass shooting in Buffalo, days earlier.

Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez said the Resiliency Center is meant to help emergency responders deal with the challenges they face on a daily basis.

“It’s very difficult to separate yourselves from what you see,” she said. “Everybody needs help.”

And she urged the dozens in attendance not to hesitate to seek assistance.

“You don’t have to be afraid to feel,” she said, thanking the District Attorney’s Office for the refocused center. “I couldn’t be more grateful to the men and women who serve this community.”

Susan Ellenberg, vice president of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, said more needs to be done to remove firearms from the local streets.

“I’m not going to be eloquent,” she said. “I am just so pissed.”

She also expressed frustration with the inability of Democrats to make any progress on gun reform in Congress, despite controlling both the legislative and executive branch of the U.S. government.

“Santa Clara County is doing everything we can to keep guns off our streets,” she said. “But we cannot do this alone.”

The recent mass shootings show these are “universal challenges,” Ellenberg added.

“I’m crushed for the families who lost children earlier this week,” she said. “I do wish I had something more uplifting to offer.”

San Jose Vice Mayor Chappie Jones praised first responders for running towards danger during the San Jose shooting, and the transit authority for how it dealt with the tragedy.

“The community of VTA was challenged,” he said. “But we rose together.”

Jones told how one of his good friends was killed in a 1989 freeway shooting.

The outpouring of support in the wake of his grief taught him just how “wealthy” your friends make you. He recalled how the priest at the funeral remarked on how packed the church was, and said the same holds true for the VTA shooting victims.

“They were so loved,” he said. “I hope we also remember the light of our loved ones.”

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith presented a flag—the very one that flew over the Guadalupe yard while

IN MOURNING Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith (left) presents Valley Transportation Authority CEO Carolyn Gonot on May 26 with the American flag that flew over the Guadalupe yard during a mass shooting on the property in 2021.

investigators were combing through the property in the aftermath of the mass shooting—to VTA CEO Carolyn Gonot.

“It stood as a symbol of motivation to our personnel,” she explained. “This flag belongs with VTA as a memory of those who were lost.”

Gonot said she was honored to accept the Stars and Stripes, and thanked the sheriff for the actions of the deputies that day.

“We are forever indebted to you,” she said, adding she’s aware law enforcement officers suffered psychological injuries.

“We know there’s a great deal of trauma.”

Gonot noted the effects of the mass shooting have rippled far and wide.

“The victims are not just those who have fallen,” she said. “That’s tens of thousands of people who get affected.

“And that’s just one mass shooting.”

Next, District Attorney Jeff Rosen presented medals to first responders who raced to the transit agency’s property.

“We’re grateful for the lives you were able to save a year ago today,” he said.

“They’re heroes.”

First responders are the people the community relies on to calm down arguments, to put out brush fires—or to stop a gunman—Rosen said.

“I’m so thankful for that vigilance,

that dedication, that bravery,” he said.

“We will try to help them here at the 526 Resiliency Center.”

He, too, reflected on the recent tragedies in Texas and Buffalo, and reminded the crowd of the 2019 Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting that resulted in four deaths.

“It makes you wonder about people; it makes you worried,” he said, adding first responders demonstrate the positive side of human nature. “Here are people who give you hope.”

After the performance of an operatic number that began, “When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high,” Karrey Benbow, the mother of Jose Hernandez III, a 35-year-old mechanic killed in the VTA shooting, stepped forward.

“I shouldn’t be here. I hate that we’re here. I want to thank all of you that responded,” were her first words.

“My personal thoughts are that it could have been prevented. 100%.

Had people listened to the complaints of my son.”

She recalled breaking the news to her son’s sister—that he’d died in a mass shooting.

“Her reply was, ‘Which one?’” she said. “Which one? Really?”

She doesn’t like it when people tell her to “be strong,” she said.

Benbow explained she decided to wear the same outfit she had on the last time she hung out with her son— riding on a motorcycle and having lunch together—and recognized John Courtney, the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265.

“Wow! You are an unsung hero,” she said. “My son loved you. I know you loved my son.”

Now, life is a “day-by-day, moment-by-moment process,” she said, as she tries to come to terms with the void left by the loss of a child with whom she was inseparable.

“That’s my blood; that’s my boy,” she said. “I would have given everything to take those bullets.”

Benbow received a standing ovation, and later, after being overcome by grief, she was consoled by a small group who gathered around her.

Those interested in receiving services at The 526 Resiliency Center at 353 W. Julian St. can call 669.308.1475 for more information.

If you know someone who may be a danger to themselves, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

MOTIVATED TO GET FIT

jun e 1- 7, 220 0 22 Ju ne 2 2 : losgatan.com losgatan.co m

SPENGA, from page 4

Over the years, fitness remained a big part of his life, including participating in the Wharf to Wharf road race in Santa Cruz.

“I’ve always wanted to own a gym,” he said. “Here we are.”

But he says he understands how hard it is for people who work long hours in competitive tech jobs to take care of their health properly.

“What happens is you don’t have enough time for yourself. You’re focused on your work,” he said, adding he believes SPENGA’s methodology is a good fit for these folks. “The key is the flow to the workout.”

That’s because, unlike CrossFit, which places more emphasis on heavy-lifting, SPENGA starts with stationary bikes, moves onto strength training and then finishes with a yoga session, he said.

One of the younger attendees at the open house was 9-year-old Jaxon Ojeda, whose mother Adrien recently got a job at the SPENGA location as the front desk manager.

The Marshall Lane Elementary student tells of how she once brought him to a soccer game, causing him to fall in love with the game. Now he plays for Los Gatos United as a goalkeeper and a defender.

“I like to jump around,” he said. “I like

to save the soccer balls from going in.”

He knows his mom now has the opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of other families, too.

“It’s really cool. It’s helping people get stronger and stuff,” he said. “It could maybe save your life.

“You can get sick and get viruses and stuff if you don’t exercise.”

Tin Tin Wisniewski, 39, is on the same wavelength.

She heard about SPENGA through a raffle at Lexington Elementary School, where she was serving as a parent volunteer. They’d donated a gift basket, which she ended up winning.

It got her thinking that her stationary bike at home wasn’t cutting it anymore.

“The thing is, at home I have so much distraction—even though the Peloton is right there,” she said. “I really want this going-back-to-the-gym component.”

The Lexington Hills resident says she’s already hooked on working out at the new fitness studio.

“The accountability part is really important to me,” she said. “I have a training partner right across from me.”

This helps motivate her to take her health into her own hands.

“She looks at me and says, ‘OK, let’s do this,’” she said. “It anchors me.”

PETE SEEGER FAMOUSLY ASKED, “Where have all the flowers gone?” This time of year, in our little town, one can’t help but wonder, where have all the summers gone?

Has it really been three years since we sat together on a warm June evening to share a moment of friendship, community, and Jazz? It has. And for many of us it seems like a very long time. Jazz on the Plazz returns this year with a nod to an American icon... Dave Brubeck. An innovator, an activist, a teacher, and a force in Jazz like few others. What he brought to the table literally changed the genre and supplied a new rhythm to all our lives. His quartet’s recording of his friend, Paul Desmond’s, “Take Five,” became the best-selling jazz single of all time.

This season we welcome his progeny in the form of the group, The Brubeck Brothers Quartet, along with a stellar lineup featuring both familiar and new names. All renowned artists at the very top of their games. I really don’t know what has seemed longer, the seventeen summers we were together or the past two that we’ve been apart.

And what better way to come back than with a fresh voiced, East Coast Jazz Scene favorite…

Svetlana and the Delancey Five.

Thankfully, it’s once again time to celebrate that which is uniquely an American art form. So, masks off and smiles on... jazz is back. See you starting June 29th!

Brannan won the shot put in 1964, Moen the pole vault in 1984, Kay the discus in 2003 and Wagner the pole vault in 2014. Weiler is the school’s only two-time state champion as he won the boys pole vault in 2007-2008, but Slover will have a golden opportunity to win a second state title next year as a senior.

The surprise wasn’t that Slover won the championship, but that she did it with a mark of 5-6.

After all, Slover cleared 5-7 the week prior to finish in third place in the Central Coast Section Championships, and in most years the winning high jump mark at state is a

couple of inches higher than at CCS. Slover cleared 5-6 on her first attempt at State.

Two other competitors—Golden Valley’s Meagan Humphries and California High’s Mara Lampsas—also cleared the height, but were unsuccessful on their first attempts. Therefore, Slover won on fewer attempts to clear the winning height. Slover, a UC Santa Barbara-commit for volleyball, has made a name for herself in track and field in her first season of competition since she was in middle school.

Fellow Los Gatos High teammate Nicole Steiner capped a tremendous freshman season, barely missing out

on qualifying for the Day 2 finals.

She placed 14th in the preliminary round of the shot put with a mark of 38-10 3/4. The last qualifying spot went to Carson’s Miah Molette, who had a mark of 39-1 1/4.

Among the Los Gatos High boys who advanced to State, Wil Brennan finished 20th in the preliminaries of the 400-meter run in 50.17 seconds, while the 4x400 relay team of Brennan, Levi Romero, Luke Pittock and Brady Kamali finished 18th in 3:24.47.

There’s symmetry in Slover winning the state title. Her grandfather, Bob, coached Weiler and Wagner

to pole vaulting state titles. Bob also coached his son, Scott, Hannah’s dad, to two state championships, also in the pole vault.

Rich athletic bloodlines indeed, but Hannah Slover has carved her own path as a premier volleyball player and high jumper. Slover hit a personal-record (PR) of 5-8 at the Arcadia Invitational on April 9, had a mark of 5-7 at two different meets including CCS and went 5-6 in five different competitions this season, including State.

Known for her volleyball play with Los Gatos and Vision Volleyball Club, Slover has become elite in a second sport, track and field.

Los Gatos has bright future in store for next season Juan Reyes, Sports Reporter

STALWART Jaden Mena had a solid senior season for the Wildcats, who advanced to the Central Coast Section Division III playoff semifinals before losing to Monterey High on May 25.

The Wildcats went through the same pain in last year’s D-I semifinals after they gave up three runs in the seventh inning in a 7-6 loss to Mitty High.

“I just think at the end of the day if we’re going to compete we gotta throw strikes and we didn’t do that,” Oliver said.

Still, the future’s looking bright in the hills of Los Gatos and the program will have plenty to build on for next season.

Plus, the junior varsity team won a league championship, usually a harbinger of success for the varsity program.

“There’s going to be a lot of jobs on the line, people are going to be battling for it,” Oliver said. “Los Gatos is in good hands.”

Boyd said it’s thrilling to see the next three years will be loaded with tons of great talent in sight.

“It’ll be exciting to see what we can get together and pull through,” Boyd said.

Los Gatos simply ran into a buzzsaw in Monterey. Wedderburn also got it done on the mound, retiring Los Gatos’ side in the sixth and closing it out in the seventh.

“We were a little down but we just had to pick ourselves up, and just keep moving on and push,” Wedderburn said. “We were all hitting the ball well.”

Monterey, which placed third in the Pacific Coast Athletic League’s top Gabilan Division, was riding a seven-game win streak going into the game.

During that stretch, the Toreadors beat San Benito, Pacific Grove, Gilroy, Palma and Christopher in league play.

“I think our energy and just how connected we all are pushed us to this and hopefully we go win a ring on Friday,” Wedderburn said.

jun ne 1-7, 2 02222 los gatan .co m : Ju e 17, 20

It was a year of growing pains for the Los Gatos High baseball team after it graduated 17 seniors from last year’s squad.

That meant there were a lot of new faces across the board playing together in a competitive schedule.

But this group of young feisty Wildcats continued to push through, clawing their way to earn the top seed in the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs.

That run came to an end May 25 after a tough 9-3 loss to No. 4 seed Monterey High in the semifinals at Sollecito Ballpark in Monterey. Los Gatos skipper Justin Oliver said they started playing their best ball toward the end of the season but things just didn't go their way.

“It was growing pains, we’d make mistakes, we’d show glimpses of being really good, then we’d kind of take a step back,” Oliver said. “It was tough.

A lot of inexperience, but these guys really came together at the end and pushed us to the semifinals.”

The Wildcats, who finished the season 14-17, will lose seven seniors with at least five of them moving on to play junior college baseball next year.

But there’s a lot to look forward to for Oliver, especially with the return of several starters including Jake Boyd.

The junior standout utility player had a great season on the mound and at the plate, helping Los Gatos to a fourth place finish in the competitive Santa Clara Valley Athletic League’s De Anza Division.

Boyd said this year’s team was young and they struggled at the beginning to build a bond. Yet they managed to overcome a lot of adversity.

“With having such little seniors, throughout the season we did a really good job of becoming brothers, becoming close with each other,” Boyd said. “And I know it didn’t end in a

great way but it really helped get to where we are and hopefully succeed in the future.”

Boyd was the starting pitcher in the semifinals. Monterey got to him early after Goose Garrett drove in Nate Wedderburn for a 1-0 lead in the opening frame.

The Wildcats answered right back when sophomore Carter Johnstone scored on a double by senior Nick Temple, tying the score at 1-all.

Boyd bounced back with two solid innings on the mound, retiring the Toreadors’ side without giving up a hit in the second and third innings.

Los Gatos took its first lead of the evening, 2-1, when Temple hit a single that drove in Drew Dillehay, who started the third inning with a lead-off ground rule double.

The ‘Cats added one more run in the fifth when Johnstone hit a crushing solo home run over the right-center field wall, putting them ahead, 3-2.

The Toreadors wouldn’t go away that easy, though. They tallied seven runs in the decisive sixth inning using patience at the plate—two runs on three walks— and on a pair of clutch hits.

Wedderburn smacked a two-run single, followed by an RBI triple by Patrick Adams that gave Monterey back the lead, 9-3, for good.

“My coach, at first base, challenged me to hit it over the second baseman’s head,” Wedderburn said. “Just hit the ball and get it in play, make something happen.”

Boyd said they’ve been consistently great with the quick starts, but then the energy begins to fade away as the game progresses, which is what happened against Monterey.

“For the future, it’s really important for us to stay together throughout the entire game,” he said. “I think we kind of just let go a little bit and that’s when the door opened up.”

Oliver said that giving up nine free bases on walks and the one crucial base hit by Wedderburn dropped any confidence that was left in the dugout.

On May 24, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the creation of a pilot program to ensure the “missing middle” have access to outpatient mental health treatment (motion by Supervisor Joe Simitian, second by Supervisor Otto Lee).

The missing middle are residents who earn a bit too much to qualify for Medi-Cal, do not have access to good commercial insurance, or cannot pay for care out of pocket.

“The mental health needs of the missing middle in our healthcare system have been overlooked for far too long,” Simitian said. “This new effort will help folks who need mental health help be able to access affordable outpatient services. It’s good for patients, good for families, and good for our community. We ought to close the gap that has allowed too many people to slip through the cracks.”

According to a 2021 survey on mood disorders published by the National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI), access and cost are major barriers to treatment. Lack of treatment can have significant economic and social impacts, including loss of productivity, job loss, divorce, homelessness, imprisonment, drug addiction, and even death by suicide.

“Families often find it difficult to find and pay for qualified mental health professionals,” said Marico Sayoc, executive director of CASSY (Counseling and Support Services for Youth). “We need to meet families where they are and connect them to treatment. Having more affordable outpatient services available will only help strengthen our community.”

County staff are expected to report back to the Health and Hospital Committee on Aug. 24, and the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 13, with options for a pilot program.

“I’m open-minded about how we solve the problem,” Simitian said. “We could subsize outpatient mental health care at nonprofit clinics for middle income County residents, identify alternative methods for mental health care service delivery, or push private

insurers to really provide the coverage the law requires. But we have to face up to the fact that people in need aren’t getting the help they require.”

The effort also directs County staff to identify which residents should qualify for such a program, and how many residents could be served by a pilot.

IN-PERSON VOTING CENTERS NOW OPEN In-person Vote Centers are now open throughout Santa Clara County.

Voters will have access to a host of additional services, including language assistance and accessible voting systems.

“Our Vote Centers are open to everyone,” said Registrar of Voters Shan-

non Bushey. “We encourage voters to vote early to avoid lines on Election Day. If you still need to register, you can do so and vote at the same time at any Vote Center.”

Twenty-four Vote Centers are now open. The remaining 77 Vote Centers will be open for four days beginning June 4.

Vote Center hours are 9am to 5pm everyday, and 7am to 8pm on Election Day, Tuesday, June 7.

Vote Centers offer a traditional voting experience for those who prefer to vote at the polls, but unlike polling places of the past, voters now have the ability to cast a ballot in-person at any Vote Center in the county instead of being tied to a single polling location.

In addition to in-person voting, voters may also drop off a Vote by Mail

ballot, get a replacement ballot, update their address, conditionally register to vote, use a touchscreen voting machine with accessibility features, and receive language assistance.

Hedges must be sheared seasonably and properly Contributed

There are rules to hedging. For example, hedges should be uniform and exclusive to just a single cultivar. A modern “Green Beauty” boxwood will never conform within a hedge of more yellowish old fashioned boxwood. Hedges should also remain within confinement. It is important to shear them back from obtrusion into walkways and other usable spaces.

It is not as simple as it seems to be. That is why so few hedges get proper maintenance. Almost all occupy and therefore waste more space than they need. Most have wide tops that shade out narrower lower growth. Moreover, many plants that are not components of hedges all too commonly succumb to inappropriate shearing too. It is sheer shear abuse!

Even if done properly, only hedges and a few other plants are conducive to shearing and hedging. It is an aggressive procedure that compromises form, texture and bloom cycles of involved plants. For hedges, that is not a problem. They need not bloom, and adapt to a refined hedged form, which is more desirable than their natural shrubby form would be.

However, it is important to not unnecessarily shear plants that bloom, or provide intricate foliar texture or form.

Shearing deprives rhododendron of young floral buds. It ruins foliar texture of Heavenly bamboo, and foliar form of Japanese maple. It is acceptable to shear boxwood only because it responds by generating such appealingly uniform foliar growth.

With proper scheduling, it is possible to shear only a few blooming plants without ruining all of their bloom. Aggressive shearing after the early bloom of oleander and bottlebrush leaves them with space to grow enough to bloom again during autumn. Without sufficient space to grow, they will require subsequent shearing, which will ruin subsequent bloom.

It is better to shear some of the simpler hedges, such as privet and boxwood, shortly after winter. They regenerate lush growth immediately afterward, and do not mind two or three annual shearings. The last shearing should be early enough to allow a bit

Highlight: Japanese boxwood Strictly formal boxwood hedges are traditional components of old formal rose gardens. In California, Japanese boxwood, Buxus microphylla, had always been more popular than English boxwood, which may be more common where winter is cooler. Although it grows too slowly for high hedges, it gets high enough to obscure gnarled lower growth of roses.

Mature plants are generally less than three feet tall and wide, although they can get a bit larger if they get a chance.

The oval and glossy evergreen leaves are only about half an inch or an inch long, but relatively thick, so are very conducive to formal shearing. Foliar texture is nicely dense but not too congested. Gray or pale brown bark is seldom visible.

Old fashioned Japanese boxwood, which remains the most common in old gardens, has a somewhat light or yellowish green color. Modern cultivars are darker green. A common problem with old formal hedges is the addition of modern cultivars or even other species to fill gaps.

The darker foliage will not conform to the lighter foliage, so it ruins the formality.
