First Amendment expert weighs in on SB 1100
“If someone is speaking at a city council meeting or a county board of supervisors or school board or any body governed by the Brown Act, they have the right to their point of view and they have a right to say their piece during their time,” Loy said. “You can be as controversial as you wish. That's freedom of speech.”

NEW LAW AMENDS BROWN ACT
David Loy, legal director at the First Amendment Coalition, says that SB 1100 is a law that his organization “can live with,” if it is closely adhered to and only affects expression in meetings that genuinely disrupts the proceedings.
In Los Gatos last year, people disrupt ed council meetings, stopping proceed ings because they were angry about the town's support for LGBTQ issues, Black Lives Matter, and even threatening the mayor and showing up at her house.
The so-called disruptions prompted Assemblymember Evan Low, D-Camp bell, and state Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, to pen a letter to Los Gatos Town Manager Laurel Prevetti on Oct. 14, 2021. Prevetti responded on Oct. 28, saying she'd like to work with the law makers to create legislation to clarify meeting disruptions with State Penal CodeTheconsequences.resultwasSB 1100, put forth by Low and Cortese, barring “disruptive” behavior at public meetings in Califor nia. “Disruptive” is defined as “engaging in behavior ... that actually disrupts, dis turbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting.”

As written, SB 1100 doesn't address harassment or insults of public figures, unless it disrupts the course of a meet ing. Loy said that Burke's comments could indeed be seen as bullying.

“I suppose someone might argue the woman speaking in the video is a ‘bully,’ but nothing she said would justify re moving her from the meeting under SB 1100 as it was signed into law, much less the First Amendment,” he said.

“Our coalition stands for maximum possible transparency and freedom of speech,” he said. “We recognize that in some limited circumstances, there can be situations where individuals speak at public meetings and genuinely disrupt those meetings, not by the content or viewpoint of their speech, but by doing things like refusing to yield the floor when their time is done, or yelling loudly and speaking over other people and stopping the meeting in its tracks.”

Loy pointed out that the Brown Act, which governs the conduct of public meetings and has been the Bible for local legislative bodies in the state since 1953, had previously allowed for a body

The new version of the law is “less drastic,” he said, and allows for individ uals to be removed from meetings after first being given a warning. The thrust of the law is to allow for meetings to con tinue as smoothly as possible to conduct public business.

During public comment, a wom an identifying herself as Eden Burke called then-Mayor Marico Sayoc a “ter rorist,” a “coward to the Communist Chinese party,” and a “person with no conscience” for what she said was the town’s support of “diversity and inclu sion,” critical race theory, LGBTQ res idents, and Marxism.

A woman who addressed the Los Ga tos Town Council in August of last year is a good example of a person exercising their First Amendment rights at a meet ing, no matter how offensive her words might be to some, Loy said.
In August, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1100 into law, clarifying parts of the Brown Act to more explicitly define what behaviors are permitted during public meetings. Specifically, it defines what constitutes a “disruption” to a meeting. But who decides what is “disruptive,” and does the new law raise First Amendment issues?

At both events, incumbent Coun cilmember Mary Badame pitched her self as the “courageous” candidate to tackle the growing imbalance between town expenses and revenue.
Rennie said that while he wouldn’t make any promises, he’d strongly con sider this suggestion. However, he’s not sure he’ll make another attempt at joining the board of supervisors, he continued.He’snow contemplating a water board run, he told the dwindling crowd.
“I happen to care very much about this community and the people in it,” she said Monday. “I’m also looking at concentrating on tangible issues for ourShetown.”said Los Gatans tend to have a taste for “high quality,” so she’d opt to increase personal or sales taxes over cutting services.
Moore praised LGCA for its work as an advocacy organization, but said it shouldn’t have begun supporting can didates before hosting a supposedly neutral forum.
The two went toe-to-toe on invest ment basis points, service fund bal ances, data misrepresentation tech niques and pension liability coverage strategies.“Ifindit very disingenuous,” Rennie said of a particular Council decision criticized by LGCA. “You’re the one that gave us that idea.”

“There were a lot of strong collec tions of performances from different players that built as the game went on,” Reyes said. “Sure, the team had some difficult first-half moments: the physicality, not illegal physicality, but it’s a different game when you’re going to have to play tighter and even more rubbing so to speak. But it’s another dyanmc you have to adapt to because they had not seen it, and so now it’s a little thing in their belt. Now they know, so we’ll go from there.”
Given the team’s depth, however, other players will no doubt emerge throughout the season. Lucy Sells and Keira Lin both had some nice moments playing goalie, which is a critical position in prep field hockey because the games often come down to one or two shots in the postseason when powerhouse teams like Los Ga tos and Mitty go head to head.
In a match where scoring was hard to come by, it was hardly a surprise the Wild cats’ top two returning players—Jiwoo Hong and Sam Elliott—were the ones to put the ball in the cage. Elliot scored two goals, including the game-winner with 16.2 seconds remaining.
“Sam and Jiwoo (being close friends) and scoring, it was neat to see,” Reyes said. “They were a little excited because they saw Natasha (Evenden) was here with a couple of the former graduating seniors (from last year’s team), so they were like ‘Come on, what’s up?’ Sam and Jiwoo were giving them that, ‘Oh my gosh, now I’m really embarrassed you’re watching us get our buns kicked.’ But they picked it up, continued to moti vate and got it done at the end.”
“You can’t do that because emotion ally it’s too huge of a leap,” said Reyes, whose team improved to 3-0 with the win. “You remember to think, ‘We don’t have to get to 3-2, we just have to put one in.’ From there, if you’re lucky to get it to 2-1, then you’re thinking how you can get the next goal and make it 2-2 because it’ll change the dynamics of the game. You play all the way to the 60 minutes and that’s what the girls did. I’m really impressed with them, really proud of them.”
“There were no more penalties and sitting on the bench arguing with referees,” Reyes said. “Just play. You’re young and you don’t know how to divert your energy and still keep max imum performance without thinking about the referees. There’s a ball, there’s a stick and a bunch of people who want to help you, so let’s go that way and it worked out really well.”
CLUTCH Sam Elliott and Jiwoo Hong celebrate Elliott’s game-winning goal in the Wildcats’ riveting 3-2 SCVAL De Anza Division win over Mitty on Sept. 15.
Los Gatos tops Mitty in showdown
Down 2-0 at halftime to one of the top field hockey programs in the Central Coast Section, Los Gatos High wasn’t exactly in the best position to pull out a victory.
The defending CCS champions have a gigantic 70-plus player roster, talent at every position and vast amounts of experience. Wildcats coach Henry Reyes, who is in his 32nd season with the team, said the key for the team was not thinking about having to score three goals to win.
Weaving through the Mitty defense with precision down the center of
The shot came from just inside the circle off a short corner, something Los Gatos had struggled with throughout. The Wildcats finished 2-for-16 on short corners, but they made the most on their final opportunity when things counted the most. Abby Lo’s dribbling prowess led to the team’s first score.
Los Gatos’ defense was rock solid in the second half, with Reyes pointing to Ellie White’s play as key and also high lighting the performances of Aanya

Reyes was also proud of the team for

the field, Lo induced a short corner which led to another short corner and penalty shot. Elliott converted it with 9:01 to go, placing a nice shot to the far left post.
But the Wildcats did just that, ral lying for a 3-2 win in a Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Divi sion showdown on Sept. 15. Only one or two teams in the section could’ve pulled out a game like that, and Los Gatos is one of them.
As one of the longest tenured high school coaches in the Bay Area in any sport, Reyes keeps returning because of his love for field hockey, wanting to make a difference and a competitive desire that is second to none.
Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor
Los Gatos continued to apply pres sure and after a flurry of shots, Hong scored from 15 yards away on a terrific backhander that bounced a couple of times before hitting the netting and making it 2-2 with 5:30 remaining.
Gupta, Ruah Flynn and Claire Torres. Macy Dennon, Teagan Fogerty, Alexa Musser, Caitlin Okonkwo, and Mack enzie Powell all figured into the win.

getting back to just playing the game in the second half. In the first half, Los Gatos got caught up debating calls with the umpires. Indeed, at one point the Wildcats had two of their players sent off the field for penalties, leading to a Mitty goal.

“Kylie is a consistent ball striker, has a good short game and a good head on her shoulders,” Denight said.
Allison Dang and Juliet Bolger are Nos. 6 and 7 in the team’s lineup order, and either is capable of being a topfive scorer on the team on a given day.
Junior Sami Hull, Olivia Li, Cadence Hull, Natalie Lane, Angela Horton and Ava Schmidt round out the roster. Sami Hull, in particular, is a player to watch out for as the Mitty-transfer is eligible to play on Sept. 23.
possesses a solid all-around game and smooth swing, Denight said. The team practices and plays at Morgan Hill’s Coyote Creek, which has a high er slope rating and level of difficulty compared to most of the other courses high school golfers play on.
“It was definitely super eye-opening,” she said. “I got some insight into a lot of different issues, especially with the access of justice to different under-rep resented groups in our society, like peo ple of color and people of different so cioeconomic backgrounds. It’s great to see the work of these public defenders who provide justice and make justice accessible to everyone in society.”
Although Chan stays extremely busy with her passions off the course, play ing on the golf team gives her a differ ent level of satisfaction and fulfillment.
“I think it would take a lot of prac tice to get back to that level,” she said. “I don’t want to say it’s impossible, but I am very much aware of other focus areas I have as a senior in high school. It’s probably not a top priority, al though captaining the team and doing well this season is a top priority.”

CHIPPER Los Gatos High senior Jordan Chan tees off for a practice round at Coyote Creek Golf Course on Sept. 13. Chan looks to help lead the Wildcats to a league title.
The three main endeavors that take
up most of Chan’s time include political science-related activities, journalism through El Gato and community ser vice. Earlier this year, Chan said she got to intern at the Santa Cruz County Public Defender’s Office, where she got to shadow workers and attend trials.
Chan was introduced to golf at an early age because her older brother played the sport. She started playing competitively at 11 or 12, and put a lot of time into improving her game. However, once Chan entered high school, she had to balance her time with a lot of other important extracur ricular activities.
Orendain, a sophomore, plays with tremendous consistency, and Snell
Chan, who carries a 4.56 GPA, is no stranger to taking on various challeng es. In addition to being the top golfer at Los Gatos, Chan is the lieutenant governor of the school’s Key Club and the editor in chief of El Gato, the school’s student newspaper.
GOLF TEAM HAS PLENTY OF POTENTIAL
Golf,
“We’ve got a lot of returners and some new players that look prom ising,” she said. “Hopefully, we win a lot of matches and go to CCS and at the same time strengthen our bonds through more practices and by being together.”
Chan doesn’t remember the team winning a match last year, so this sea son already holds plenty of potential.
Chan shot a 39 to earn medalist hon ors in the team’s match at Los Lagos, and Chang, a junior, had 9-hole rounds of 42 and 43 in the opening two weeks of action, a testament to her steady play.
“From what I’ve seen, Sami shoots in the upper 30s, low 40s, and will probably be our No. 3 for now until she plays in a match,” Wildcats coach Dave Denight said.
“Golf obviously is really great to get outside and see all these different courses,” she said. “I’ve also found a community in the team this year, and we all come from different back grounds and have such varied inter ests. But we bond over our shared love of the sport, and it’s really fun to find those unexpected connections with people of different experience levels and different backgrounds in terms of what we do outside of school.”
Hull was a top-three player in Mit ty’s lineup last season and competed in the Central Coast Section Finals since the Monarchs qualified as a team to the Championships.
So, while golf didn’t exactly take a back seat, Chan’s time on the practice range was limited. A couple of years ago, Chan shot a 69 over 18 holes at Saratoga Country Club, the best round of her career.

Staff Report
Locale, a food delivery platform founded in Los Gatos, announced Sept. 20 that it is expanding its foot print to bring 20 more of California’s restaurants to consumers nationwide.
FRESH AND LOCAL Jonathan Friedland (left) and Chris Clark are the founders of Locale, a food delivery service.
“Locale is one the most organized companies I have had the pleasure of working with in many years,” said Norm Langer, president and CEO of two-time James Beard award-winning Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant.
Los Gatos-based Locale adds 20 more restaurants
Featuring foodie favorites such as Boichik Bagels, Cali Dumpling, Cofax, Dragon Beaux, Langer’s, Sqirl, Man resa Bread, Pizzana, Pop Pie Co and more, the service, which launched in June 2020, has quickly grown among consumers and restaurants alike for the way it allows people to mix and match the items they want from their
“We started Locale during the pan demic to help restaurants reach more customers, and it has quickly grown into what it is today,” said Jona than Friedland, co-founder of Locale. “We’re thrilled to provide people, no matter where they live, with a new way to experience exactly what they want from culturally relevant eateries that consistently top best of lists.”
“Locale has been a great partner for us, getting our bagels to new customers further and further afield,” said Emily Winston, owner Boichik Bagels. “They helped us first in the Bay Area, then all over Los Angeles to San Diego; and, now people across the country will be able to get a taste of Boichik.”

Recent incidents involving my vol unteer roles made me view the “See Something, Say Something” message as too limited in its reach, with its sole focus on deterring crime. It could be more impactful if it is expanded to encompass problems of all types we observe in our town. If you see a prob lem of any nature, say something.
something” about this state of affairs by preparing a report, with recom mendations to improve this situation. To this end, we’ve attended sever al meetings with mental health care providers in our community, to learn where deficiencies exist. Again, we see something and say something: we observe the players can improve their communications with one another and can collaborate on projects to improve the delivery of mental health services, and we deliver that message.
All of us observe problems and can say something about them to the right authorities. This is not for purposes of creating a “big brother” state. It is to improve our community.
Volunteering frequently entails shining light on problems and seeking change by saying something about the problem to the powers that be. Along these lines, my role as a commissioner on the Community Health and Se nior Services Commission (CHSSC) requires me and my fellow commis sioners to advise our town council on problems relating to the health of our residents and the services our residents receive, and make recom mendations for ameliorating these problems. To this end, last year, our commission thoroughly investigated town senior services facilities and pro gram offerings, and pointed out nu merous deficiencies, leading the town to invest $500,000 to improve senior services using American Rescue Plan Act funds. This led to very positive outcomes for our seniors.
This year, CHSSC is addressing the problem of deficiencies in mental health services in our community. According to recent surveys and our own research, Los Gatos is average in terms of its delivery of mental health services, compared to other similarly situated towns. We intend to “say
And so, I respectfully ask the town to expand the breadth of the “See Something, Say Something” message in its newsletters so that it is under stood to be a message encouraging us to bring attention to problems we observe with how things are done in town, in addition to problems of a criminal nature we may encounter.
Jeffrey P. Blum is a family law mediator who lives in Los Gatos.
Here is another example: Several of us who are experienced mediators saw bullying, cyber bullying, petty theft, vandalism, and improper use of social media cases occurring at our schools being sent to juvenile courts for resolution. We said something to one another and began organizing an alternative solution. We are working to implement a mediation/restorative justice program in school, to resolve these situations in a less intrusive and contentious way, and in a way that will be considerably less problematic for the students involved.
I’ve observed the “See Something, Say Something” message delivered and acted on numerous times as a member of the Rotary Club of Los Ga tos. The problems we hear about are vast and varied but we persist in ad dressing them and the results thereby gained in our community, our nation, and internationally, are profound.
GUEST VIEW
Until recently, I never paid much attention to the “See Something, Say Something” message appearing every week in the town’s newsletter I receive online. I considered the message a bit creepy. Is it meant to encourage us to spy on one another and report aberrant behavior? Could this message be an attempt to further erode our privacy? One can justifiably be paranoid about such things these days. Alternative ly, the message might be considered merely a benign attempt to ask our residents for help in stopping crime.
