Morgan Hill weighs in for peace By Debra Eskinazi Reporter
Rick Coencas
More than 200 members of the South Valley community from Gilroy, San Martin, Morgan Hill and south San Jose came together for a peace walk at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center on Saturday, Aug. 19. The event was planned in response to the recent white nationalist rally in Virginia, where people from several hate groups including the KKK, neoNazis and white supremacists clashed with anti-hate protesters in Charlottesville. Events further escalated when a car crashed into demonstrators, killing one and injuring 19 more. The Clergy Alliance from the Interfaith Community of South County (ICSC) held a meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 16 in the interest of showing how the world could be different than the events that occurred in Charlottesville. Word of the Peace Walk and Vigil quickly spread through the members of the ICSC, the larger faith community, social media and others interested in promoting peace. Each of the clergy arrived at the Morgan Hill venue in traditional garments—robes, stoles, prayer shawls and head coverings—all respective of their faith traditions. From Christian vestments and the saffron robes of Buddhist monks to the common head coverings of the Muslim kufi and the Jewish kippah— all faiths in the area were represented and unified in their message of peace. “I think it’s important to make our case for how we want to express our free speech—which is, we’re against hate, we’re against exclusion and we’re for peaceful engagement and acceptance,”
NO TIME FOR HATE Residents from throughout South County marched on downtown Morgan Hill Aug. 19 for a peace walk.

With clear skies and warm temperatures, Morgan Hill Unified School District schools, staff and faculty welcomed back students Aug. 17 for the first day of the 2017-18 school year. At Paradise Valley Engineering Academy, fourth and fifth grade students stepped into brand new Gen-7 portable classrooms that were the centerpiece of the first phase of a more than $7 million renovation project on campus.
“We are very excited with the new facility upgrades,” said PV principal Swati Dagar, who was out greeting about 500 PV students and making sure everything ran smoothly for the first day. “The upgrades have added so much value to our school and we look forward to even more happening over the course of the year.” PV had other new additions, including a separate staff parking lot to allow for more parent spots in
the main lot; a new perimeter fencing; a bunch of metal park benches; and a grassy courtyard area. PV parents also followed a new student dropoff/ pickup loop that has alleviated congestion in front of the school. “It’s just more modern. Our kids are the best so why not give them everything we can,” said the fifth-year principal. “I come back every year because I love it here. It’s such a great community. I look forward to coming
back to work every single day.” Along with Paradise Valley’s improvements, the $198 million Measure G capital improvements bond continues to upgrade facilities at each of MHUSD’s 13 school sites. Facilities are not all that’s new at MHUSD this school year. Sixty-nine certificated appointments (i.e. teachers) are among the new employees, according to district staff. Live Oak High School had a changing of the guard
with new principal Maria Reitano taking over for longtime leader Lloyd Webb. Students arriving at Los Paseos Elementary School were welcomed by new principal Debbie Stewart, who replaced former site leader Jenna Mittleman. The summer months were spent budgeting for district staff as MHUSD’s operating budget climbed to $89,022,922 of a total budget, including all funds, at $114,799,040, according to Assistant Superintendent Kirsten Perez.

Schools facilities master plan is $700M wish list Scott Forstner Reporter
Morgan Hill Unified School District is in need of nearly $700 million in renovations and new construction, according to findings in a Facilities Master Plan compiled by the architectural firm LPA, Inc. Two representatives from LPA summarized a draft of the working document to district leaders and trustees at the Aug. 15 school board meeting. They first explained that the needs are always greater than the ability to fund them. However, the FMP helps to prioritize them and give an allencompassing perspective of the district. Priorities generated via the community input methods and reflected in the FMP were new construction (classrooms), modernization/reconfiguration of existing classrooms, existing
building systems, toilets and improved energy efficiency, staff and parent support, parking and dropoff and safety/security. Site specific priorities included multipurpose rooms, student union and food service improvements, physical education improvements and exterior play spaces, playfields and hardcourts. Board President Donna Ruebusch lauded the final draft FMP as both “extensive and comprehensive” as well as a “springboard to our next decisions.” The district has about $143 million remaining of its $198 million Measure G capital improvements bond. The Britton Middle School project, set to break ground in January, will ultimately gobble up about $50 million of that, leaving $93 million for future projects. The process of developing the FMP began in November 2016, and
included 47 meetings with more than 750 participants, according to district staff. LPA held focus groups, community forums, site stakeholders, educational workshops and an overarching FMP Committee that included local residents, business people, city personnel, school district and site staff, administrators, teachers and students. “As a road map, the Facilities Master Plan represents a three to five year strategic plan for creating 21st century learning environments and modernization of existing schools,” according to the Aug. 15 agenda. “As a living document, the Facilities Master Plan must be responsive to external influences and opportunities.” The document, which can be viewed online at mhusd.org/facilities-master-plan/, will get final

fencing at all sites and a technology refresh of student devices. “As funding beyond current Measure G is identified, project needs identified in the Facilities Master Plan will be prioritized by district leadership in consultation with the board of education, school site and community stakeholders for potential implementation,” according to LPA’s presentation to the board.

Live Oak High School alumnus Michael Do always dreamt of someday competing with and against the best musicians in the world. The 17-year-old baritonist just never imagined it would come so soon. Do, who plays the euphonium (a brass instrument resembling a tuba but smaller), lived out his dream this summer as the youngest member of the professional marching band known as the Blue Devils. “It’s sorta like how high school football players look up to the NFL. We look up to Drum Corps International. That’s the major league of marching band,” explained Do, who graduated from LOHS in the spring after four years on the Emerald Regime marching band. “It was always my dream to be part of this team called the Blue Devils.” It was a lofty dream, and one that even Do doubted could be a possibility since the Blue Devils' roster is deep with some of the best college-aged musical talent in the nation. “I was going in as an underdog at only 17 years old,” said Do, who practiced six to seven hours daily to perfect his instrument leading up to his audition in November 2016. “I went in there nervous, but came out with a perfect run of the audition.” With only nine spots
Live Oak High School alumnus Michael Do, who earned a coveted spot on the Blue Devils professional marching band this past summer, stands with his squad’s national championship trophy after their victory at the Drum Corps International World Championship in Indianapolis. on the team for his instrument, Do wasn’t sure if he’d made it. Waiting to hear from the judges, he knew there were three options out there: 1) get a one-year contract; 2) get a second audition for a closer look; or 3) get cut from consideration. “I was honored to have the first option given to me. They gave me the contract right then and there,” Do said. “My heart was pumping fast. To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to make it.” Do immediately texted Jason Locsin, his band instructor with the Emerald Regime, to inform him of the news. His dream reached even bigger heights when the Blue Devils marched to an undefeated season and secured the band’s 18th gold medal at the Drum Corps International World Championship in Indianapolis in

The Concord-based Blue Devils, who were were founded in 1957 and started competing nationally decades later, has won the DCI World Championship title more than any other performing group. “When you have kids like this, and a design team like this, and support staff and instructional staff, admin, everything all the way around, it becomes something pretty special,” said Blue Devils CEO Justin Heimbecker after winning the organization’s 18th championship. Do, an incoming freshman at California State University at Long Beach this fall, said he wants to return to defend the world title next year as well.

OPINION FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Board approves cleanup plan for Borello school site’ Everyone should be concerned about the alarming amount of raises and new positions created at the District Office. Students are not getting the attention they deserve, parents are doing more and more, classified workers get ignored, etc. It is time for new leadership. Sue Gilmore via Facebook
The MHUSD school board last night voted 4-3 to accept the Mitigated Negative Declaration which means they voted to go forward with this school at this site with Dieldrin contamination. Voting YES were Tom Arnett, Mary Patterson, Ronald Woolf and Donna Ruebusch. Voting NO were Dave Gerard, Gino Borgioli and Teresa Murillo. Next step is for the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to approve it or reject it, contact Mohsen.

GUEST VIEW DWIGHT GOOD
Upgrade vulnerable vents This guest view is part of a periodic series on tips to make your property and family safe for wildfire season, which will continue through September in Santa Clara County.
M
ost people believe that wildfires ignite homes through direct contact with flames, but it is rare to have a home ignite this way. Flaming brands and embers can travel a mile or more ahead of the active front of a wildfire. Up to 60 percent of wildland/urban interface home ignitions result from embers. Make changes now to reduce the ember threat to your home. Our “Ember Aware” campaign is intended to educate people on the risks of ember cast and the actions they can take to reduce those risks, to encourage residents to harden their homes against embers and/or to maintain those ember-resistant features, and to practice ember-safe housekeeping and landscaping. You can learn more at emberaware.com.
Tip #5: Vulnerable vent dilemma Vents play a critical role in your home by allowing excess moisture to escape from the attic and crawl space. If moisture was allowed to accumulate in these areas, your home could be threatened by mold and decay fungi. During a wildfire, vent openings have also been shown to be one vulnerable spot for ember entry into your home. This creates a dilemma for homeowners. Many vents use wire mesh coverings with a quarter-inch screen. Smaller mesh sizes can become clogged by paint, cobwebs, debris, etc. that reduce air flow. Unfortunately, the quarter-inch mesh is not effective in preventing ember entry into the attic, eave and crawl space vents. For existing homes, consider the following: • Replace quarter-inch mesh with oneeighth-inch mesh, if required air flow allows. Be sure to keep the mesh openings unclogged. • Use metal wire mesh, not plastic or fiberglass.

• Don’t store combustible materials, such as paper, clothing, etc. in the attic or crawl space. • Clear fallen pine needles, leaves, dried grass and other debris from around vents (a particular problem with through-roof vents, such as a dormer or ridge vent). • Do not plant shrubs in front of or underneath vent openings.
During a wildfire, vent openings have also been shown to be one vulnerable spot for ember entry into your home. This creates a dilemma for homeowners • Create pre-made covers out of plywood to install over vent openings if wildfire is approaching and there is time. In an emergency, it may help to fold several layers of aluminum foil and staple over vent openings. New ember resistant vent designs are available. Check with your fire marshal or building official for advice on these and other measures to reduce the potential of embers entering your home.

The fact that the administration missed the point... Is the point. They did not read the petition. They did what they always do, circled the wagons, and put up shields of charts, graphs, numbers, and buzzwords designed to confuse and deflect. And all constructed from statistics that nobody else can access, fact check, or refute. I know after having 2 students go through math at Sobrato, it is a hot mess. My child learned from the Sobrato math department was they were horrible at math, which was not the case. After thousands of dollars with tutors that student is now getting A’s and B’s at college math. This rings true over and over with parent after parent we have spoken with. The grade weights are a major contributor to the problem. Assement is another. The department does not properly employ or follow pacing guides. Instructors rush through or brush over topics and then expect students to be profient on exams. There are not enough textbooks or reference materials for students. There is not enough individual attention spent on ensuring students have grasped the concepts before moving on. Teachers are under the gun to cover the material and as long as there is a check mark in their book somewhere they can claim they covered it regardless of rigor in the presentation. And the students are then made to answer questions on these brushed over topics with heavily weighted assesments. It is an environement that sets the students up for failure. “Crash” via morganhilltimes.com
Re: ‘LO training room to don the name of Acorn legend’ John Manning was a wonderful man and took such great care of the athletes at Live Oak over the years. He took care of us physically, emotionally and mentally... he took the time to get to know us and to speak into our lives... John gave of himself so much that each of us who met him has a John shaped impression on our hearts. I played football at Live Oak many years ago and during a game, my foot was stepped on and my ankle broken. My parents took me for X-rays and I was scheduled to have a cast put on... which would have been the end of my season. Mr. Manning asked me to trust him and not get a cast, he said that he could help me get back on the field. I trusted Mr. Manning and followed his advice, I missed only one game that season. He truly had healing hands... I have thought of Mr. Manning a lot over all these years and I am grateful that others have thought enough to grant him this honor. We cannot forget the great people who give of themselves in order to better the lives of those around them… “Lonnie Clardy” via morganhilltimes.com

Re: ‘Board looks for common denominator in Sobrato math debate’ Having had dealings with the administration and math teachers there, I can agree with the student. The methods and teachers by and large appear to be ineffective. Otherwise, the volumes of tutorial time available, yet we still had to employ at considerable cost, a personal tutor to teach our student. Additionally, as a whole, the administration and counselors there are basically ineffective.They will cover for the school, but the students suffer. Hopefully, things are/will be improving. My jury is still out.

Clear the Shelters event. Adoption fees were waived Aug. 19 as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters initiative that seeks to find forever homes for shelter animals. San Martin was a
participating shelter and helped the nationwide tally of adoptions reach 73,482 on Saturday, according to cleartheshelters.com. The local shelter found new owners for 39 shelter animals (25 cats and 14 dogs).
“We had a great event,” interim shelter supervisor Kim Burgess said. NBC and Telemundo teamed up with 900 shelters across the country to help promote the annual event.

Clergy urge unity in response to hate Peace Walk, 1
While using a crude, yet effective “pinhole projector” to watch the Aug. 21 partial solar eclipse over the downtown Morgan Hill parking garage, Times staff ran into a local resident who used some household items to rig his Nikon Coolpix camera so he could capture crisp, clear images of the celestial phenomenon that gripped the nation. “At the last minute, I scrambled around looking for my old welding helmet,” Morgan Hill resident Andrew Remer explained. “I removed and cleaned the lens and cut up a Snapple bottle. It just happened to fit perfectly. I pushed the lens through (the end of the bottle) and added some duct tape to keep out excess light and, voila, I had a cheap and easy solar lens for (my) camera in five minutes.” One of his photos is pictured above.

No eclipse of ingenuity
said Phil Cooke, priest at St. John the Divine Episcopal Church in Morgan Hill. Father Jose Rubio of St. Mary Catholic Church in Gilroy felt with the vocal demonstrations around the country that it was necessary that people in South County be united in their stance against hate. "I am very surprised at this anti-semitic feeling, anti-immigrant feeling, anti-Muslim feeling,” said Rubio. “I think it’s important—as little as South County is— for (local) people to say something.” Imam Ilyas Anwar of the South Valley Islamic Community in San Martin wanted to make clear that there are many people who don’t want to tolerate actions and language that perpetuates hate. “There’s no place for hate in our country,” said Anwar. “Not in our community, not in our country.” He continued, “We have to be part of this community,” he said “You can’t live in isolation— regardless of race, color, gender—whatever it may be—that’s all secondary. The first thing is: This is our home and we have to make it. We have to make sure that the peace and safety stays here.”
NO TIME FOR HATE Residents from throughout

and the mayor of Morgan Hill, Steve Tate. Morgan Hill councilmember Rene Spring, wearing a black shirt with several lines declaring “love is love” written in a rainbow of colors, said that he was there to show his solidarity. “There is so much hatred,” Spring said. “I’m not a believer in hate. I don't care if you’re left or right. I think we just need to love each other more, respect each other more and I wanted to show that.” Fellow Councilmember Caitlin Jachimowicz said she participated Aug. 19 because she wanted to show there are more people who are full of love, and those that hate are fewer and farther between. “But, I think they are louder—and so I think it’s important for us to band together and work on amplifying our voices in support for one another, in unity and in love,” Jachimowicz said. The walk, less than a
mile down around Monterey Road and back, ending at the United Methodist Church, concluded with messages from many of the clergy. Rabbi Debbie Israel of Congregation Emeth in Morgan Hill said she was asked to give a speech and not a prayer. “In my tradition, a call to action is a prayer, speaking truth to power is a prayer.” Israel drew a comparison to times in history when the Jews of Europe cowered in their homes fearful of Nazis marching through the streets. Israel noted the victims’ silence didn’t halt atrocities. “But in 2017, we will not cower behind closed doors and we will not cower,” spoke Israel. “We will not be treated as ‘other.’ We do not accept that our black brothers and sisters and our Jewish brothers and sisters need to stay home because neo-Nazis are coming to town. We all stand together, stand proud together.”

Board approves Borello cleanup plan will be named “S.G. Borello Elementary” in honor of the donating family. Arnett’s candid comments came on the tail end of what was another in a series of heated exchanges between school board members, neighboring residents to the Peet Road-Mission Avenida parcel and district staff since the months-long approval process for the new school project began.
Scott Forstner Reporter
Impassioned and well-versed residents, board of education trustees and district officials generated conflicting views and a few intense moments at an Aug. 18 special meeting to determine the future of a 9-acre plot of land in northeast Morgan Hill. About two hours into Friday night’s debate on whether to dig up and remove pesticide-riddled dirt in the former orchard to make way for a new elementary school, Morgan Hill Unified School District’s seven-member board had heard enough. In consecutive 4-3 votes, the school board moved forward with the district’s off-haul remediation plan—which is still waiting on final approval from the State Department of Toxic Substances—and a $1.7 million construction contract to do the work—which was awarded to Seward L. Schreber Construction. The contractor will start removing about 19,590 cubic yards of toxic soil once the district receives the go-ahead from DTSC. “I’d feel comfortable sending my kids to a school built on that site,” said Board Vice President Tom Arnett, who seemed to be wrestling with his vote as he spoke about risk factors in everyday life and wanting to build trust between the district and the community before breaking ground. “I worry that (by moving forward without 100 percent support) we do damage to our greater purpose of serving the community.” Arnett joined Board President Donna Ruebusch and Trustees Ron Woolf and Mary Patterson in supporting district staff ’s recommendation to build a ninth primary school, which
Pair of trustees oppose district’s remediation option Trustees David Gerard and Gino Borgioli vehemently rejected the district’s cleanup plan and attempted to discredit the state agency tasked to oversee the remediation. A much less vocal Trustee Teresa Murillo was also against the plan. “I warn you, you will live to regret it if you move forward with this,” said Gerard, who called the offhaul method a “quick and dirty route” to take in fixing the problem. He preferred the district go with bioremediation, an alternative cleansing option that involves the use of organisms to neutralize toxins in the soil. “We need to re-look at what we’re doing here.” Gerard’s accusation that DTSC was under pressure from district staff to approve the RAW since they were on “a project schedule that was very aggressive” drew an immediate and forthcoming response from Superintendent Steve Betando. “Actually, that’s not true,” said Betando in rebuttal. “I’m making the recommendation. We had a choice to make it an off-haul or bioremediation, and that’s my recommendation.” Betando explained that Gerard’s choice of “bioremediation” was used on the Peet Road site a decade earlier and the

Dieldrin levels rebounded years after the property was given a safe declaration from DTSC. Unproven theories of how that happened include the land was used again for farming and sprayed with the same pesticide; construction workers building nearby housing pushed contaminated dirt onto the vacant field; or earthworms in the soil carried the Dieldrin up from deeper depths, according to differing accounts. District: Off-haul is chosen method statewide Casino Fajardo, MHUSD’s Director of Construction and Modernization and Live Oak High School alumnus, added that every public school project within the state that required some level of soil remediation used the same off-haul method. Fajardo said off-hauling is the “quicker (and) safer” way to do it. “I could not find one school in California that did any kind of bioremediation on their campus,” said Fajardo. As part of the MND, district and state staff answered inquiries from individuals and agencies such as the City of Morgan Hill and Santa Clara Valley Water District. There were concerns over increased traffic and impacts on U.S. 101/Cochrane Road on-ramps; impacts of a high-voltage power transmission line and high-pressure water line on the Coyote Pump Plant; impacts to Tribal Cultural Resources; and possible flooding from Anderson Dam. Borgioli’s specific beef was with how the off-haul method would be carried out and how that could possibly endanger the health of nearby residents if the Dieldrin became airborne. Borgioli did not trust DTSC or the onsite workers with adequately

The site and surrounding properties are former farmland. monitoring the dust particles to prevent that from happening. He also believed that more dust particle monitors were necessary than currently in the RAW. “Dieldrin is going to come back if you do off-haul,” Borgioli said. “The only solution is bioremediation.” At one point in the meeting, a nearby resident and father of three children, frustrated with the proceedings, spoke up that he was selling his house and moving away because of the toxins discovered in the soil. Other neighbors of the surrounding developments, such as Alicante, spoke up against the district plan during the Aug. 18 meeting. “The draft RAW and MND are incomplete, filled with inaccuracies and, in the end, not sufficiently protecting the health and safety of our community,” resident Claudia Cibrian said. “Believe me, I would love to be able to walk my kids to school,

but not at this cost and this many inherent risks.” As part of the roughly 45-day cleanup plan, the dirt will be wetted down before being loaded onto trucks so it won’t create dust. In addition, dust monitors will be set up along the perimeter of the property and an alarm will go off with any visible dust detected in the air. The truck beds will be covered when transporting the soil to the Kirby Canyon Landfill Management Facility (910 Coyote Creek Golf Drive) for disposal. Construction of the new $20-$30 million school is estimated to take 490 days immediately following the off-hauling, through February 2019. The contract approved Aug. 18 was only for the soil cleanup and not for the school design/construction. The new school will be funded through the $198 million Measure G capital improvements bond along with developer fees.

City, locals celebrate Indian independence Poonam Chabra Submitted
Robert Eliason
This past Saturday, Aug. 12, the Indian Association of South County (IASC) held its fifth annual Indian Independence Day celebrations at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center. Members of the IASC were joined by local residents and city officials for a raising of the Indian flag, which will fly over the CCC through Aug. 15. The crowd also celebrated India’s independence with renditions of the American and Indian national anthems, with about 20 children singing the “Jana Gana Mana.” Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate thanked the IASC for coming together year after year to share this day and the Indian culture with the entire South County community, and encouraged other ethnic groups to do the same. City councilmembers Rene Spring and Rich Constantine both outlined how all the various communities can come together to create a unified Morgan Hill, and the power of getting involved with the city council. Special guest speaker Venktesh Shukla, a successful Indian venture capitalist and philanthropist, spoke of how India, as the world’s largest democracy, embraces all
people of varied backgrounds, with so many religions, languages, ethnicities and cultures still able to unite under one flag. He also encouraged each and every member of the community to pick a cause that is important to them and give back to those in need. IASC President Poonam Chabra mentioned how proud she is of the accomplishments the IASC committee has made during her first year of leadership. “After 24 years of existence, we finally have our own website,” Chabra announced. “We are also formulating a community outreach program to help those in need in our community.” Siraj Bandookwala, 86, who witnessed first-hand India’s freedom in 1947, described the event 70 years ago. “Everyone was extremely ecstatic about finally being in a free and independent India,” Bandookwala said. “There was laughter and jubilation everywhere. There were fireworks and dancing in the streets. The feeling of being our own masters was undeniable and irreplaceable. Everyone’s hearts were filled with joy.” More than 120 members of the community—young and old— attended the Aug. 12 ceremony,
FLAG RAISING Local children and members of the Indian Association of South County stand under the Indian flag during a celebration of independence at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center Aug. 12. which was followed by some tasty Indian food, ice cream and fun in the CCC courtyard. India attained independence from the British Empire on Aug 15, 1947, thus marking this as the
country’s 71st Independence Day. The IASC is a nonprofit organization and an initiative of the Indian Community of over 500 residents living in the cities of Morgan Hill, Gilroy, San Martin
and Hollister. The group’s mission is to bring the spirit of community and bring awareness of our rich Indian culture. For more details on upcoming events, visit iascinfo.com.

Dub Fall Ball tryouts being held in August
HERE THEY COME After a long summer and offseason, the Sobrato linemen are ready to go Friday night at Christopher. The offensive and defensive lines will be key to the Bulldogs turning a corner in 2017.
SOBRATO LINEMEN TO BE KEY IN THE RUN IN 2017 SEASON Noe Magana Special to the Times
Linesmen Luis Lopez, Senior, and Jonathan Sheet, Junior, are hopeful summer team workouts, bonding activities and depth lead to wins. Sheets feels the team bonds most when they are pushing each other past the exhaustion during workouts. “Specially the conditioning when everyone gets tired together you slowly begin to bond with one another because you feel like you need to motivate the person next to you and you have to do it for the person next to you not just yourself,” Sheets said. Sheets also said the
intensity of the workouts leading up to the seasonopener give little room for the players to socialize, but they take advantage of the breaks between sets to get to know their teammates and find out who they are outside of the field. The team also had the opportunity to enjoy themselves outside of football when coach Tony Holmes prepared a barbeque for Varsity and JV. “We had an hour and a half, two hours to bond with each other. He also let us go swimming to have a little bit of fun,” Lopez said. Lopez continued to say that it was a great experience for the team to socialize in a different environment rather than always doing it when they are trying to kill each other in practice. Sheets already sees the benefit of the time spent with his teammates on and off the field. “It helps us understand how each other will react to a certain situation ➝ Lineman, 18

Live Oak look to rebound in 17 Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor
There’s a new look and a new league for the Live Oak volleyball team from top to bottom. After a disappointing season in 2016 that featured just eight players (or sometimes six or seven), the Acorns were sent down to the West Valley Division. At the same time, coach Lora Coleman stepped away for the second time. Overall Live Oak went 8-13 for the season after pulling off wins in four if its first five matches. However, after rolling up four early wins in league play, the Acorns dropped nine straight to close out the season. Peter Borja, who had worked as an assistant
at Live Oak for six years, finally took over the program this past summer after initially being unsure if he wanted to make the switch from assistant to head coach. But with Kathleen Davis, he agreed to head up the program and the two have been working to get the girls ready to go. Davis will take on the JV team while also assisting with the varsity. Borja will assist on JV as well. Borja said Davis has been instramental in the early going of the season, keeping all the minutia of tryouts, paperwork and working with parents in order while he coaches. Borja—who’s daughter Courtney played for Live Oak until she graduated in 2015—said he
has full confidence in the squad despite recent setbacks within the program in recent years. “I think we’re going to do good in C league,” Borja said. “I’m setting one of our goals to take this thing.” The Acorns have three returning seniors to lead the squad in Zoie Brotherton, Josilyn Layton and Sarah Carmichael. All the rest of the players from varsity last year graduated which opened the door for previous JV players to rise up. Among those coming up from junior varisty is Anabella Stewart who is a big player in the middle that Borja thinks is going to fit in well up front with senior Carmichael. Stewart, who also plays
basketball, should help to keep things locked down up front. “She’s tall and pretty athletic kind of putting lot of confidence to take up middle along with Sarah Carmichael,” Borja said. The other two seniors will primarialy be setting, but will also be playing opposite each other when they both are up front. “We want to utalize the two strongest hitters in the front when we got them together,” Borja said. Rounding out the front attack will be Kendall Kirk and Samantha Evans, who moved up from JV last year. “I’ll be counting on Kendall to produce on the outside,” Borja said. Live Oak brought up three players who were
slated to be on JV this year, but as needs arose, the call was made. Sophia Lacerda, Kara Blotz and Hannah Hapstead all had their numbers called to move up to the varsity either at the jamboree on Saturday or since then. Hapstead will play libero off the bench to give some help to Isabella Angakowski, Borja said. Overall, Borja said he feels confident in the team. At the jamboree, he said Live Oak did well against opponents he expects to see in league play and held its own against A-level teams. Live Oak will officially kick things off on Sept. 7 hosting San Jose in a nonleague game starting at 6:30 p.m.

Bulldogs kickoff at Christopher
Robert Eliason
All the workouts, practices, scrimmages, jamborees and everything else that help prepare teams for a new season have come to an end and starting Friday night, it starts for real. Sobrato will kick off its season 7:30 p.m. Friday at Christopher as the Bulldogs will open four of their first five games on the road. The Bulldogs are hoping to establish themselves in the first three nonleague games, wanting to go 2-1 on that stretch to officially roll into the West Valley Division. That means the Bulldogs will be hoping to get off to a good start against Christopher who is much in the same boat as Sobrato. The Cougars finished last season 1-9 overall and are 3-17 in the last two seasons. As Sobrato looks to get itself established up front with a strong run game plus some passing prowess, Christopher will counter with a stout defense led by a linebacking corps full of seniors. The trio of Joey Bassian, Peyton Mitchell and Anthony Gomez will anchor a Christopher defense that expects good things out of 2017. Meanwhile, the offense will be led by a relative newcomer Ben Sanford. The junior saw time last year for a few series on offense, but will be taking the reins for good
GETTING OFF THE BLOCK Live Oak receivers work on blocking during practice this
past summer. The Acorns are back at it in Salinas at 7:30 p.m. against Alisal Friday.

Acorns kick off against an old foe
READY TO GO Quarterback John Bell hands off to Sam
Anaya during practice this summer. this season. To help him out, Christopher will be relying on its offensive line, moving several of its key players to the offense to help open up the run game as well as the passing game. Mitchell, among others will see time in the run game as Christopher hopes to establish a ground game in much of a departure of past years when the Cougars lived off the passing game. To counter that is a strong Sobrato defense that is a yea older and has returns in some key
positions. Of course, on offense John Bell returns for his senior year, having a full off season with a new quarterbacks coach. Sobrato will hope to get a balanced attack going with a few speedsters out wide but will also try to use its speed in the run game led by Samuel Anaya. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
It has been 12 years since Live Oak and Alisal last squared off. Now with the suspension of El Toro Bowl, Live Oak will get a chance to return to Salinas for an old school game against Alisal 7:30 p.m. Friday. The Trojans are coming off a 2-8 season that saw Alisal lose eight in a row before winning the final two games. Coach Mike Gemo gave a lot of credit to Alisal for what should be a better team this year. Alisal will be returning its quarterback from a year ago in Andrew

Marquez who threw for 691 yards and seven touchdowns against four interceptions. The team’s leading rusher Thomas Martinez is also back, coming off of a 425-yard performance on a squad that was largely runningback by committee. Despite the record, Alisal gave up just 22 points per game a year ago, but likewise was held to 14 points per game on offense that included two shutouts. This will be Live Oak’s first chance to get after it with a new group of
receivers after its two main weapons graduated a year ago. But the Acorns will be led by quarterback Jonathan Singleton with runningbacks Cole Davis and Connor Dietz picking up the load in the running game. Defensively, Live Oak will have some experience in the linebacking corps after the youth of last year have returned following a CCS semifinal run. The Acorns will next take on Christopher in their home opener on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.
Team is ready to turn the corner after back-to-back 2-8 seasons Jump From B1 on the field,” Sheets said. “Just knowing the guy next to you well enough to know what he’s probably going to do will help you make a decision on how you should react.” Sheets and Lopez are two of 16 returning players
that will take on the field starting August 25 to face Christopher High School. “It’s mostly the same, but there are a few new players that we’ve put in and they are doing the best job we can ask for,” Sheets said. Having gone through
two 2-8 seasons, Lopez believes the team is ready for the challenge ahead. “I think the difference this season is that everyone is ready. Everyone has the attitude that they want to put up 110%,” Lopez said. Depth deficit in previous years, ironically,
should help the lines be successful this season. Multiple players had to play on both sides of the ball last season and know the responsibilities of different positions. Now that only a few will be asked of that responsibility, Lopez among them, the players
Citizens Watchdog Committee
Report to the Public 2000 Measure A Sales Tax Activities Fiscal Year 2016 (7/1/15 – 6/30/16)
VTA delivers transportation solutions critical to the vitality, prosperity and quality of life for all who live, work or play in Santa Clara County. In November 2000, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure A, a 30-year half-cent sales tax devoted to specific public transit capital improvement projects and operations. Most of the ballot-defined projects are massive and complex, requiring years to plan, design and construct. Although in just the 10th year of a 30 year program (tax collection started mid-2006), VTA has achieved significant results toward meeting Measure A goals. A few key Fiscal Year 2016 accomplishments are: • Extending BART to the Silicon Valley cities of Milpitas, San Jose and Santa Clara, which will provide increased transportation options and reduce congestion. Phase I extension to the Berryessa area of San Jose is ahead of schedule and under budget. Construction is mostly complete (over 90%), system testing is underway, and passenger service is currently projected to start the first half of 2018. • Extending and improving light rail service with projects such as the Mountain View Double-Track project completed in December 2015 that allows enhanced service to Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. This project, combined with other improvements, allows VTA to establish a new light rail corridor from Mountain View to Alum Rock to accommodate the projected dramatic increase in public transit ridership into our County when BART service begins.
can focus on their specialty while also knowing how and where the teammates will be positioned. Even with more depth, coach Holmes isn’t changing his strategy. “He is preparing everyone to go both ways no matter what,” Lopez said.
“Coach expects everyone in the line to learn different positions just in case one of us gets hurt.” The experience returning linesmen bring to the team along with the depth puts the Bulldogs football team a step ahead of where they were last year.
2000 Measure A Program Expenditures - FY16 (in millions)
Commuter Rail Projects (Caltrain, ACE, etc.) $10.3
Light Rail Projects $26.1
Mineta SJ Airport People Mover $0
Funding Swaps $5.0 Non-Project (debt service, bond repayment, operating assistance, etc,) $84.6
Bus Projects $39.3
BART Silicon Valley $396.3
Program Total: $561.6 [Expenditures grouped by category. Individual project detail shown in CWC Comprehensive Annual Report; see below for link.]
• Implementing fast and convenient Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) with construction of the Alum Rock-Santa Clara corridor (service implementation in mid 2017) and design underway of the Stevens Creek Rapid 523. Santa Clara County voters entrusted the Citizens Watchdog Committee (CWC), comprised of fellow community members, with overseeing Measure A expenditures to ensure your sales tax dollars are spent as intended by the ballot. After thorough and careful consideration:
It is the conclusion of the CWC that, for the period of FY 2016, 2000 Measure A tax dollars were spent in accordance with the intent of the measure. Additional Measure A information is available on VTA’s website (www.vta.org/projects-and-programs/Programs/2000-Measure-A-Citizens-Watchdog-Committee) including: • CWC Measure A FY 2016 Benefits & Key Achievements Report. • CWC Comprehensive Annual Report on FY 2016, which provides a detailed description and status on all Measure A projects and the CWC’s responsibilities. Printed copies of select Measure A and CWC reports are available at libraries and other public buildings throughout the county, and at the VTA offices at 3331 North First Street, San Jose, CA, in the Building B Lobby.
