LG LODGE CONDO PROPOSAL GETS GOOD REVIEWS AT HEARING
Planning Commission votes unanimously to support 155-unit build
Drew Penner, Editor
The Los Gatos Lodge housing proposal emerged from Planning Commission last week, with a rare unanimous vote of support in its first kick at the can. It will now move on to Town Council.
During the Feb. 12 meeting, Senior Planner Sean Mullin explained the project would have 129 market rate units and 26 below market price units. It is being processed under SB 330. It qualifies for one concession and unlimited waivers under State Density Bonus Law, and the applicant has invoked the right to use the Builder’s Remedy mechanism.
The plan area includes 28 buildings.
“The three-story buildings would incorporate Mediterranean-influenced architecture in three color schemes,” Mullin described.
The project includes 330 parking spaces and 20 for guests.
In a letter to the Town, SummerHill homes said the average living area of the homes it

Restaurant refresh welcomes multiple chefs, a variety of cuisine options

Standing as one of the last enduring “roadhouses” in America, the red barn-like structure on the side of Highway 17 has been recognized as “The Cats” since 1967.
Initially established in 1896, this place is no stranger to change, seeing as it’s been occupied by everything from a weigh-station of lumber wagons, to a gun shop and even a sporting goods store.

SERGEANT WHO FATALLY SHOT MAN DIDN’T BREAK THE LAW, DA SAYS
Najib Magee’s actions were “lawful and justified” according to report
Staff Report
A Campbell Police Department sergeant who, on March 19, killed a man who shot at officers didn’t break the law, a Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office report has found.
According to the review, 31-year-old Miguel Gomez, who was under the influence of methamphetamine, had been trying to rush into a bedroom where two small children were located. He tried to shoot Officer Stevie Munoz, who was “fighting for his life,” the DA’s Office determined.
Sgt. Najib Magee discharged three rounds from his pistol, killing Gomez, the report states.
“The actions of Sergeant Najib Magee and Officer Stevie Munoz were both lawful and justified, demonstrating exemplary courage and training,” wrote the report’s author, Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker. “Together,
LOCAL NEWS
the two officers put themselves directly in harm’s way to protect two young children and fellow officers from the threat of great bodily injury or death posed by Miguel Gomez.”
The report concluded that, on March 19, an anonymous woman, referred to as Jane Doe, contacted the Campbell Police Department, via the 911 text messaging service, to say she was afraid of Gomez, her live-in boyfriend.
Officers went to investigate a potential violation of the “peaceful contact” restraining order she had against him (as she claimed he’d told her to barricade herself in a bedroom with the two children, during his multi-day meth binge); Gomez then jumped up from the floor and rushed toward the children’s bedroom holding a loaded firearm, prosecutors said.
“Officer Munoz tackled Gomez in the adjoining hallway and struggled over control of Gomez’s 9mm handgun,” the DA’s Office wrote in a release. “Gomez was able to fire one round from the weapon nearly striking two other officers in the living room. Sgt. Magee, afraid for his life and the lives of the other officers, discharged three rounds from his department-issued pistol, killing Gomez.”
In the aftermath, Officer Munoz was asked why it was he chose to enter the home and tackle Gomez in the hallway.
He replied he couldn’t “let (Gomez) get to the kids’ room,” the DA’s Office said in a release.
LOS GATOS POLICE ARREST SAN JOSE TEACHER IN SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATION
Police said the man was living in Los Gatos during the period abuse occurred
Drew Penner, Editor
A 53-year-old former Los Gatos resident was arrested Feb. 12 by Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police at Kathleen MacDonald High School in San Jose, where he works; he was booked on suspicion of illegal communication
with a minor and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.
LGMSPD began looking into the situation when it received a report that Darrin Garcia had been having a sexual relationship with a student he taught and coached, from 2021-2023.
“At that time, Garcia was a teacher at Santa Clara High School and was residing in Los Gatos,” a spokesperson for the department wrote in a release.
“Garcia has been a well-known sports
coach and athletic director in Santa Clara County.”
The suspect, Darrin Garcia—who currently resides in San Jose—appeared in court today and made bail, LGMSPD officials said.
Los Gatos police declined to release his mugshot.
The case is still under investigation.
Kathleen MacDonald High School officials declined to comment on the arrest.
On Friday afternoon, the District
Attorney’s office said it hadn’t received the report from LGMSPD to review.
The police department’s spokesperson, Katherine Mann, clarified that Garcia was arrested on a Ramey warrant, a document signed by a judge that allows a suspect to be detained before a complaint is filed.
Anyone with information about this case, or similar cases, is asked to contact Det. Riley Frizzell at 408-8273558 or email police@losgatosca.gov.

TO THE EDITOR
Why aren’t veterans a priority?
I recently attended the Los Gatos Town’s strategic planning meeting, and noticed a conflict.
Under the goal of Fiscal Stability, “Sell or Lease Certain Town Properties” is listed; yet under the goal of Civic Engagement, “Community Engagement” is listed.
As the Town has a number of veterans or active military residents, doesn’t Community Engagement include providing for a place for veterans to meet?
The Town is currently doing nothing to support the veterans of Los Gatos.
Why is the Town so adamant on getting rid of the historic old fire station, which would be a perfect place for the veterans to meet, plus provide a meeting place for many other Los Gatos organizations to use as well?
Built in 1926, and part of the history of Los Gatos as its first fire station, shouldn’t this building be on the list of historical structures for the town anyway?
And there are so many good uses it can provide for residents.

Thank you so much for publishing this. It means a lot to our Lodge. We have been part of Los Gatos since 1888, and for
many decades we served the Los Gatos Community. If you look through the Los Gatos newspaper archives, we were always mentioned in the weeklies.
Through the years, our Lodge became quiet, and, admittedly, not as involved as our mission mandates. But we are changing that.
Your support means the world to us.
Hope you enjoy your retirement Ralph
(In response to “Community grandfather in Redwood Estates sells his pizzeria” by Faizi Samadani)
I knew Ralph when (he) was a little boy. I lived in the same neighborhood and my best friend was Dave Hendricks.
He lived across the street from the DiTullios. I graduated from LGHS in 1968. My mother taught English at LGHS. I wonder if she had Ralph as a student.
I was incredibly lucky to have gone to school at LGHS and grow up in Los Gatos in the 50s and 60s!

Ralph’s impact on our community goes far beyond pizza—he’s been a cornerstone of connection and generosity. As the saying goes, “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
Ralph, you’ve woven something truly special into the mountain community. Now, as you step into full-time retirement and gardening, may you enjoy planting new seeds— both in the soil and in life.
It’s also exciting to welcome new owners who appreciate the legacy you’ve built while bringing their own vision to the table.
Bravo! And wishing you all the best in this next chapter!

REUNITING FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HISTORIC 1984 LITTLE LEAGUE PERFORMANCE
All Stars are the highlight of this year’s Opening Day
Emanuel Lee
In the summer of 1984, the Los Gatos Majors 12-and-under All Star team was the feel-good youth sports story of the Bay Area, advancing to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
For the first time since its historic run, the team is having a reunion, which will highlight this year’s LGLL Opening Day Ceremonies, on March 15 at Baggerly Field.
“We wanted to do it last year for the 40th year anniversary, but timing-wise half the team couldn’t go,” said Ben Boulware, a player from the 1984 team who helped organize the event. “So this year we’re going to get everyone but one of the players, which is really cool, because we’ve never reunited since we were 12- and 13-years-old.”
The 1984 roster included Boulware, Scott Barrett, Bill Berk, Mark Borgese, Ryan Doheman, Mike Fisher, Jason Halladay, Joe Hasty, Lance Karnan, Stephen Lane, Ryan Lotz, Paul Norquist, Dominic Rugani and Shannon Splaine.
Two of the three members of the coaching staff—manager Leo Berk and Ben’s dad, Jim–have since passed away.
Coach Tony Borgese has been invited, but it’s uncertain whether he’ll be able to attend. Boulware can’t wait for the event, knowing there could be in excess of 1,000 people present.
“We haven’t been able to celebrate the accomplishment together,” he said. “It’s going to be pretty special for that, because you don’t appreciate and understand when you’re 12 what you did. And now you’re 50, you think, ‘Dang, we did something unique, and we didn’t even know it.’”
Los Gatos went 18-3 during its remarkable summer run.
Back then, the LLWS operated under the single-elimination format. Los Gatos lost its opener and got sent packing.
Boulware can remember his experience in Williamsport as if it were yesterday. Outside of playing the game and practice time, Boulware said the team-bonding events made things memorable.
“We got to Williamsport, and they had all these strict rules,” he said. “We broke every rule possible. So, we’d sneak out to McDonald’s every night. And playing ping pong with the Japanese kids–we thought we were good–and we got our butts handed to us. We got smoked. Those are all the fun stories you remember years later.”
One of the team’s most dramatic moments that summer came in the Northern California Division I Tournament championship game against Pacific of Sacramento.
Trailing by a run entering the final inning, Fisher hit a walk-off, tworun homer to send Los Gatos to the Western Regional Tournament in San Bernardino.
A week later, Los Gatos edged Sunnyside of Arizona 1-0 in the Western Regional championship game.
Halladay hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning, and Lotz was simply superb, pitching a complete-game, two-hitter, with a remarkable 16 strikeouts over six innings.
Lotz walked just one batter, which was an intentional manager’s directive.
“Without Mike Fisher and Ryan Lotz, we don’t go to Williamsport,” Boulware said.
With a different format back then, just four teams from the U.S. advanced to the LLWS compared to the 10 in its current iteration.
“It was so much harder to make it back in the day than to do it now,” Boulware said. “It makes it all the more special the magical run we had.”
Los Gatos knew it had something special early on.
Before the team’s first District tournament game, it scrimmaged against the LGLL 13-and-under All-Star team.
“We needed a practice game or two, so we went against them on the bigger field,” Boulware said. “We’re thinking they should smoke us. Well, we steamrolled them. It was like 21-2. That was the moment of like, ‘Holy crap, we’re different. Maybe we can make a run at this thing.’ Once we realized that, it’s— ‘OK, let’s play loose and see how far we can go.’ That was the aha moment.”
Los Gatos featured a talent-laden roster, where everyone could throw strikes, hit a home run and play shortstop.
“That’s why we were good—the whole lineup could do anything,” Boulware said. “We were just 11 really good athletes who didn’t have any fear. We weren’t a bunch of cocky kids. But we were confident, competitive and expected to win.”
The coaching staff also was key, fostering an atmosphere that allowed the players to maximize their immense talent.
“The coaches let us play free. And when you let these little kids play free, then magic happens,” Boulware said. “We played loose, because it was the things we did along the way. The towel fights in hotels, and staying in barracks—and building that closeness. We were just these California kids having fun. And that was the baseline of the team.”
Three of the players off the team ended up playing in college. And one— Boulware—played five years professionally in Single-A ball.
Even though the 1984 All Stars are the ones being honored, the team is paying-it-forward—by creating a scholarship to help cash-strapped families pay for their kids to play the game.
MEMORY LANE The Los Gatos Majors 12-and-under All Star team advanced to the 1984 Little League World Series.

THE CATS REFRESH
The Cats, from page 1
And now, its current owner (for a year-and-a-half now), Richard Tam, has been putting a new spin on the place, led by his startup ChefCentury.
Proof of Concept
Restaurants have a high chance of failure, in part because of inconsistent customer volume.
So, Tam wants to tackle this problem with a new business model.
ChefCentury came to Los Gatos in 2023, as the restaurant industry was dealing with the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was meant “to help chefs rebuild their future,” Tam explained.
“My interest comes from understanding why there is a growing income divide in all developed countries, including the United States,” he said.
Tam said his studies at Georgetown have helped prepare him to navigate the challenging restaurant landscape.
“My conclusion, in the last 30 years, is that the middle- and low-income class haven’t seen their income improve because of a lack of investment into the small guys,” he said. “The lower-income class doesn’t have enough savings to invest in the overall economy. So, my conclusion is, you need to find a way to make the investment more attractive for small individual businesses that are not as appealing as the technology businesses.”
Tam believes, to mitigate this issue, there needs to be a platform which enables the “small guy” to thrive and succeed.
The way to do this, he says, is by lowering the barrier of entry.
Research shows food service is now a trillion-dollar concern. And yet, according to the National Restaurant Association, about a third of restaurants fail.
The question Tam has is, can he enable a platform to empower those running the kitchen?
“If I tell the chef to just create good food and take care of the place, then I will help you find the market by providing the management backbone, marketing and financial resources to make it happen,” he said. “I essentially market with them and help them succeed.”
Tam says ChefCentury got involved with The Cats because he values the history and sees opportunity in its unique, yet difficult, location.
“This place is not conventional, because it isn’t just a walk-in restaurant—since it’s on the side of a highway,” he said of the challenge of luring customers to the space off the northbound side of the twisty route toward Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz.
“Therefore, you need to give a compelling reason why they need to come here. We want to give that reason by bringing in unique talent with unique menu styles and dining options.”
Revitalizing the Brand
Since taking on The Cats, Tam has limited operating hours to Friday through Sunday, and only from 5-10pm.
“We see those standard hours of the business as showcasing and building a relationship with the customer,” he said. “Then, we see the other side of the business as private dining, private events and delivery.”
The reason that most restaurants fail, says Tam, is due to their lack of visibility.
“How many people are going to come tomorrow?” he asks rhetorically. “You don’t know.”
Tam says they get all sorts of requests from people who want to use the space—for things like wedding rehearsals, corporate events and showers.
And while, typically, establishments charge an up-front fee for venue rentals, Tam does not.
“The incentive is strictly that they are getting a real, private space and
services so they can have the whole restaurant to themselves without paying for the rental,” he said. “The contingency is that, if it’s during the day, then it’s around $1,000 minimum that a party would (be required) to spend. To host an after-hours private event from 10pm-2am, there’s a minimum of a $1,500 bill. And all we ask for is a 25% deposit.”
Tam says that some of their private evening events have brought in as many as 200 people at a time.
On its website, ChefCentury says its program for chefs not only includes a fully-licensed kitchen, but also social media marketing, packaging, delivery management and customer support services.
Getting to Know the Current Owner
The Cats became a food establishment, during the 1960s, after changing hands several times.
The current owners have put three different styles of barbecue on the menu.
“We currently offer Texas barbecue, Filipino food, and also Hawaiian,” Tam said. “The popular Texas barbecue is the triple combo—which is brisket, pulled pork and ribs. The Filipino street food is the Manila chicken and smoked crispy pata. On top of our dining options, we still maintain live music every Friday through Sunday, and people can expect blues or rock music.
We’ve had 45 different performances since we have been open.”
That has included musicians with a large local following, such as Joe Ferrara. Tam says since he is building a digital platform, the goal is to test the concept here, before scaling his idea up, elsewhere.
“The goal is to build a very large enterprise to help a lot of small guys succeed,” he said. “And to make this business work, a significant part of the events should be available for private dining.”
Tam says he treats the 15 hours the restaurant is open every week as marketing, essentially.
And, he adds, he’s treating the location as almost like a new version of a food court.
“The restaurant side of the business is a way for us to showcase different styles of menus,” he said. “Yet, what makes us unique is that we have different chefs with different menus, and what we are doing is bringing a platform with many talented chefs.”
What Tam wants is to see the majority of the events be private dining, while Friday-Sunday be a preview for those events.
“We want to help young chefs succeed,” he said. “There are a lot of talented chefs out there, but they just didn’t have the opportunity to succeed. The Cats is our proof of concept.”
PLATFORM BUILDER Richard Tam has high hopes for one of Los Gatos’ oldest establishments. He hopes the model he’s trying with The Cats can eventually be extended to other places.
LG LODGE VOTE
Planning, from page 1
was designing would be about 1,823 square feet.
“Window shapes and sizes are straightforward and create a rhythm for the elevations,” it reads. “Color schemes have been thoughtfully developed to showcase the Mission-style architecture.”
Under current State law, a project like this is supposed to have a mixeduse component, though SummerHill hopes to avoid that.
The developer seeks to build up to just over 37 feet, in an area where the maximum is 35 feet.
“It is not physically possible to include a Mission-style roof with hips and gables and comply with the 35foot height limit without decreasing the number of floors or substantially reducing the ceiling heights,” John Hickey, vice president of development for SummerHill, wrote in a letter to the Town.
He also asked for lighter bike-storage rules (from one space per unit to one space for every 10 units), and a reduction in setback requirements.
The Town previously named the location in the Sites Inventory of its Housing Element.
James Lyon, a former member of the Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee, said he has major concerns.
The project is “too dense” with “not enough green space,” he argued during public comment.
“Essentially, the applicant blew off all of the recommendations of the Town architect,” he said. “There’s also major traffic impacts.”
Jason Farwell, of Farwell Rashkis, LLP, however, called the project a “responsible development under the circumstances.”
“I can appreciate there’s frustration about high-density and the impact it’s having,” he said. “You need to direct those frustrations towards your state legislature.”
Commissioner Steve Raspe said given the limitations of the project the units are designed pretty well.
“I do have traffic concerns, but in this instance I think I have to rely upon those who are smarter than me and have studied it,” he said.
Raspe said he thought the proposal was about as good as it was going to get for the site.

YOUR WATER, OUR PROMISE
Delivering lead-free H2O to South Bay communities
Suzanne DeLorenzo, San Jose Water
Every family deserves the peace of mind that comes with clean, lead-free drinking water. At San Jose Water, we are committed to developing a comprehensive inventory of service line materials in our system.
Since 2017, we’ve worked alongside industry experts to inspect thousands of lines using a combination of historical records, predictive modeling and field inspections. So, how many lead service lines have we found in the past seven years?
Zero.
Across the country, drinking water providers are working to get the lead out by identifying and removing old lead pipes that connect homes to water mains. The
first step in replacing lead service lines is finding them. Most lead service lines in the U.S. were installed during the early 1900s, and for many utilities, records from that era are incomplete.
As part of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, the EPA required all water utilities to develop a detailed service line material inventory by Oct. 16, 2024. This inventory helps utilities allocate resources effectively, plan phased replacement and prioritize public health by focusing on sensitive areas like schools and childcare facilities. It also builds trust by providing customers with clear information about their service lines and empowering them to take action, if needed.
San Jose Water’s inventory, now viewable on our website, is a cornerstone of these efforts. It identifies water line materials throughout our system, from utility-owned pipes to customer-owned lines, as well as legacy lead goosenecks—small fittings historically used to connect water mains to service lines in pre-1948 installations.
While we’ve never found a lead service line in our system, we’ve occasionally encountered these goosenecks, which are only connected to old cast iron mains. We target high-risk areas for replacements and further testing. By Dec. 31, 2030, we will have eliminated all legacy lead goosenecks from our system.
IT’S TIME FOR A FUNNY COLUMN
I figured I might as well give it the old ‘college try’
Jeffrey P. Blum , Contributor
I aim for humor in my Los Gatan columns. The kind that elicits a chuckle, maybe a snort, not the kind that has readers questioning my grip on reality (though, fair point, the jury is deliberating on that one). Of course, I also try to sneak in some local relevance. Lately, though, my columns have been heavier than a San Francisco fog. My New Year’s resolution to lighten up? Let’s just say it’s progressing at the speed of government bureaucracy. Nevertheless, I press on. Because nothing says “fun” like self-imposed pressure.
Speaking of pressure, the Super Bowl just occurred. My fiancée, Lissa, is a Chiefs fan of the “raving” variety (and I use that word judiciously). During games, she transforms into a whirling dervish of questionable chants and enough nervous en -
ergy to power Los Gatos. I genuinely fear our neighbors suspect I’m running an underground cage match in our living room. I’ve considered investing in earplugs—for myself and the neighbors. Maybe even the squirrels in the trees.
Meanwhile, my alma mater’s basketball team, despite boasting (allegedly) two of the top five freshmen in the country, is struggling to achieve a winning record. It’s like watching a Shakespearean tragedy unfold in slow motion, but with more missed free throws and less iambic pentameter. And the Rutgers women’s team? Let’s just say their record is less “slam dunk” and more “air ball.” Which, I suppose, is a kind of victory in the existential sense? Bring back C. Vivian Stringer! Closer to home, I enjoy my walks along Los Gatos-Saratoga Boulevard. It’s a lovely stretch, perfect for contemplating life’s big questions. However, I can’t help but notice the gigantic tree chilling in the nearby stream. Is it performance art? A
commentary on the fleeting nature of existence? Or did someone just forget to call a tree removal service? Perhaps it’s part of a Los Gatos beautification project, a bold new initiative to “enhance” our waterways with strategically placed arboreal debris. If so, I eagerly await the arrival of the matching beaver dam.
Speaking of mysteries, have you tried parking downtown? It’s a competitive sport, a high-stakes game of vehicular Tetris where the grand prize is a parking spot within a threeblock radius of your destination. You circle, you stalk, you strategize, all while trying to avoid parallel parking into a vintage Vespa. And don’t even think about visiting on a weekend. It’s a free-for-all. I once saw two cars engaged in a near collision duel for a single open space. The victor? A minivan. Naturally. I’m sticking to walking or the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad. Much safer options.
I recently saw a Nextdoor post about the Grand Canyon–sized pothole on the Highway 17 north onramp. I’ve become quite adept at avoiding it. I’ve also wondered about the legal ramifications of filling it my-

self. Is it a misdemeanor? A felony? Does it involve orange cones?
And there’s the eternal debate: to bike or not to bike on Los Gatos-Saratoga Road. It’s perfect for a leisurely ride…if you’re not terrified of being flattened by a speeding SUV or forced off the road by a Lycra-clad cyclist going uphill at warp speed. It’s a delicate dance, a constant negotiation between two-wheeled enthusiasts and fourwheeled commuters. Maybe we should just designate certain days for each. Mondays: cars. Tuesdays: bikes. Wednesdays: rollerbladers. Our Rotary Club recently held its annual Crabfest, a major fundraiser that always sells out. One of the auction items was a dinner for eight prepared by Lissa and me and a few other brave souls. We got some amazing bids! Which is hilarious, unless you’re a big fan of kale, almond butter sandwiches, veggie tofu scrambles and, courtesy of Lissa, leftover hamburgers and French fries.
So, there you have it. A little slice of Los Gatos life, seasoned with a dash of humor (I hope). Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go practice my parallel parking.
