The council seeks more information on cannabis businesses MEANWHILE, PROHIBITION REMAINS ON THE BOOKS Michael Moore Editor

➝ Marijuana, 13

Barry Holtzclaw

The majority of the Morgan Hill City Council still isn’t ready to make a decision on whether to legalize marijuana sales, commercial cultivation, deliveries and other activities in the city limits, as authorized by California Proposition 64. And the two voting councilmembers—Mayor Steve Tate and Councilman Rene Spring—who are ready to vote on a long-term local policy couldn’t be more opposed in their views of how much commercial and recreational marijuana activity the city should allow. Tate said at the Jan. HERO DAD Sal Oliveri, at right, with, from left, his son-in-law Duke Polhaupessy, daughter Gina Oliveri Polhaupessy,

PIZZERIA OWNER STABBED WHEN HE FENDS OFF KNIFE ATTACK AT HIS GILROY BUSINESS Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

This year marks the 40th year in business in Gilroy for Sal Oliveri, owner of Pinocchio’s Pizza. It’s a year he will never forget. The year began with him nearly losing his life defending his family from a knife-wielding

homeless man. In an interview after the Jan. 6 attack, the humble pizza maker, son of Sicilian immigrants, said he is hopeful the year will end better than it started. Sal and his family—former 25-year residents of Morgan Hill—calmly reflected on that day, and described a scene of terror and bloody mayhem. It was during the first Saturday evening dinner rush of the new year at his restaurant at Church and Welburn in Gilroy that a man rushed in waving a large knife. When the man lunged wildly at Sal’s daughter,

Gina Oliveri Polhaupessy, Sal and his son-in-law, Duke Polhaupessy, leaped into action, pushing the man towards the door. They ended up on one of the tables, and the man swung the knife towards Sal’s throat. When Sal raised his arm to block the blow, the assailant slashed it with his knife, then fled the store, as Duke was able to lock the door. Gina was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher throughout the frightening fracas, and the attacker was arrested without incident a blocks away a few minutes later.

“There was blood everywhere,” said Sal. Gina said she at first wondered if her dad had lost his arm in the attack. The wound had cut to the bone in his forearm, Sal said. “It’s scary when there are customers here, and my family—you don’t want to see anything happen,” said Sal. His right arm has a brace and heavy bandage from his bicep to his fingers. He has use of his hand, but more surgeries lie ahead before he knows whether ➝ Pinocchio’s, 17

With the American Cancer Society pushing for more regional fundraising efforts, local organizers of the annual Relay For Life from Morgan Hill and Gilroy have combined their resources and

developed the inaugural Relay For Life of South County. “Some people go to both Relays, some people bounce between them year over year, so it is nice that we have an opportunity to create a larger Relay community,” said Val Renggli, the marketing chair for the 2018 Relay who is a past lead organizer for the Morgan Hill event. The kickoff event is scheduled from 5pm to

Separately, the two area Relay events have raised millions of dollars in recent years for cancer research. With their efforts combined,

organizers are looking forward to even more success. “I think it was a wonderful idea to merge with Morgan Hill.

Local families with children involved in Morgan Hill sports leagues— some spanning three generations—had every reason to be upset with school district officials and board trustees after sitting around for nearly three hours to be heard Tuesday night. However, already fueled by frustration over Morgan Hill Unified School District staff ’s proposal to significantly increase their respective leagues’ facility use fees that they say would, in turn, raise their registration costs, those attendees did not let their emotions get the best of them. Instead, they presented a history lesson to the district leaders and board members on how much time, money and labor their volunteers have put into constructing, maintaining and then later upgrading the school fields over decades. These are the same fields that they played on as youth growing up in South County and that their children and grandchildren now play on as participants in leagues such as PONY Baseball, Spirit Softball and Orchard Valley Toros Soccer. Instead of dismissing any notion of increasing the field use fees (something that hasn’t been done since 2009) from the $15 daily fee, more than two dozen speakers, some whom brought their children wearing league uniforms, simply asked the board to defer the vote on the district’s proposal so all parties could sit down for a second time and hash out a mutually beneficial plan. And that’s exactly what happened at the Jan. 23 meeting, where trustees voted 6-0 to postpone the facility use pay schedule proposal until one of the two meetings in March. (Trustee Ron Woolf was absent from the meeting.) Some trustees said they needed additional information and time to make a more educated decision while others wanted district staff and league reps to have further discussions. Trustee Gino Borgioli, who previously was in favor of the district’s proposal after it was first introduced at a December meeting with no league reps

in attendance, admitted that he was “illinformed” about the issue. “What I heard from parents is they almost exclusively maintain and manicure the fields with their volunteer system and they expend the money to repair the fields. I haven’t seen or heard anything about what we do as a district,” Borgioli said. “We’re doing a major wrong to the community.”

Local families speak out

Like many of the community speakers, local resident Susie Tulowitzki, a public school teacher and mother of a young girl who plays OV Toros soccer and Spirit softball, asked the board to think about the impact the increased fees would have “on the district’s most vulnerable students” and on local nonprofit youth sports. “Do you really want to sideline some of our children? Do you really want to see them make their last out?” Tulowitzki asked. “By approving field usage fees to the magnitude of thousands of percents for leagues like Spirit and PONY, this is exactly what you’ll be doing.” The district has been charging a $15 per day, per facility fee to use school site fields. However, school officials are proposing a steady rate hike over the next three years with an hourly rate climbing to as much as $38.58 for nonprofit leagues and $77.17 for commercial use, according to a breakdown of the latest figures produced by the district. Tom Andrade, a member of PONY baseball for more than 20 years, explained how league volunteers back in the 1970s revitalized the large abandoned field on the backside of Britton Middle School, where they built several baseball diamonds. The district staff proposal now wants to raise the fees for them to use those same fields. Andrade also outlined how the league paid to put in turf, sprinklers and backstops at the old Burnett Elementary, and how they did similar work at El Toro Elementary and Live Oak HIgh School as PONY expanded, all coming at no charge to the school district. “That is what we did in 70s, 80s and 90s. Today, that work continues,” Andrade said. “That same thing is going on with Spirit at San Martin.”

After public comments prior to the board’s decision to table the issue, Superintendent Steve Betando immediately praised the young athletes, their families and coaches for their respect and patience during the board discussion. He apologized for not reaching the item until late into the meeting, which began at 6:15pm and got to facility use about 8:45pm. “There’s nothing that was said up here about the value of these sports to character, to assisting with the kids staying focused on school, to an outlet, to social development, to leadership, it’s all there. I totally agree with that,” Betando said.

Who maintains the fields?

District staff estimated their annual facility operation costs at $1.5 million and capital replacement cost (based on a 10-year term) at $3.2 million for a $4.7 million total. Assistant Superintendent Kirsten Perez explained those are some of the figures that are put into a new state formula used to calculate how much they should charge per hour for fields to recover costs. However, local resident Mike White said he’s been involved with PONY Baseball for more than 30 years. He took exception to the district's operation and maintenance cost claims. “The maintenance of these fields has not been done by your district,” White said. “Not a single backstop, mound or home plate, dirt, sod or anything was been put in by any of you guys.” The district contracted with Facilitron, an online facility rental software platform, in January 2017 to allow sports clubs to make reservations for MHUSD fields through the online booking agent, according to the Dec. 5 agenda. District staff then asked Facilitron “to provide a comparison of the district’s costs for facility maintenance and capital replacement compared to actual facility use fees generated.” According to Facilitron’s presentation, the district “has been subsidizing community groups over $300,000 (per) year in facility use.” The rate increase would help “to provide for the maintenance, restoration and replacement of facilities,” according to Facilitron. No date or location was scheduled for the school district staff to meet again with league officials.

Councilman’s battery hearing postponed LARRY CARR’S ARRAIGNMENT NOW SCHEDULED FOR FEB. 16 Michael Moore Editor

The arraignment for Morgan Hill City Councilman Larry Carr on the charge of domestic battery has been postponed to Feb. 16 at the South County Courthouse, according to Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Vishal Bathija. The hearing was originally scheduled for Jan. 26, but Carr’s attorney requested the rescheduling due to a prior commitment by Carr, and Bathija did not object to the request. Carr, who has continued to attend city council meetings since his Nov. 25, 2017 arrest, and the rest of the council have a twoday annual “goal setting retreat” scheduled for Jan. 26 and 27.

Carr faces the misdemeanor domestic battery charge in relation to a Nov. 25 incident in which Morgan Hill police say he battered his girlfriend of 11 years at the home they shared in the city’s downtown. The alleged criminal contact occurred after the couple had returned home from spending the Thanksgiving holiday in southern California. Carr and his girlfriend had been arguing about family matters since earlier in the day, according to the police report of the incident, which is on file at the Superior Court Clerk’s office. After police responded to a call requesting a welfare check at the couple’s residence, officers separated Carr and his girlfriend to take statements from them independently. Carr told the officers the only contact he made with his girlfriend during the argument was accidental, as he quickly moved his hands up to block a glass of

water she was poised to launch toward him, the police report states. He specified that she only threw the water from the glass at him, but he “instinctively” thought she was going to project the vessel itself in his direction when he saw her pick it up and make a throwing gesture. His girlfriend told police that Carr deliberately “ripped the glasses from her face and threw them to the ground, causing them to break,” and pulled her hair in the process, according to the police report. She also said when she was on the floor looking for her glasses, she pulled a chair out to facilitate her search. Moments later, Carr grabbed the chair and threw it down a flight of stairs, his girlfriend told police. Carr told officers it was his girlfriend who threw the chair toward him, as he was walking down the stairs, according to the police report. He further said he used his arm to block the chair from hitting

him. The police report does not girlfriend that were not reported say Carr showed any injuries. to police.

MH man gets life in prison for 2013 murder BERTHA PAULSON WAS BEATEN TO DEATH IN MOBILE HOME Michael Moore Editor

A Morgan Hill man who was convicted of the brutal murder of Bertha Paulson in 2013 was sentenced to life in prison last week. Michael Sheppard, 64, must serve a minimum of 15 years for the crime of second-degree murder, according to Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Chuck Gillingham. At the Jan. 19 sentencing hearing at the South County Courthouse, Paulson’s older sister and an advocate for the family read statements to the judge.

Paulson’s sister, Margaret Waskey, traveled from the family home in rural Mountain Village, Alaska, to attend the sentencing hearing. The advocacy group Mothers Against Murder helped Waskey with travel expenses to Morgan Hill. MAM Executive Director Margaret Petros said a portion of Sheppard’s court-ordered restitution will go toward reimbursement of those expenses, if he ever pays. “We don’t expect that much money to come from the criminal—he’s in prison,” Petros said. Petros added that Paulson’s family members are pleased with the judge’s sentence. “We believe he will not walk out of prison, which was very rewarding for the family,” Petros said after the sentencing hearing. With justice served, Paulson’s

family is now in the process of planning a memorial service and burial in Alaska, Petros added. Sheppard’s jury trial took place in October 2017 at the Morgan Hill Courthouse. The jury found that Sheppard killed Paulson, 45, the night of June 15, 2013 at his home at Morgan Hill Apartments, a small mobile home park just north of downtown. Court files and testimony during the trial showed that Paulson died of a broken neck and suffered fractured ribs, collapsed lungs and numerous cuts. Her body was covered in bruises. These injuries resulted from a “brutal” attack by Sheppard inside his home, Petros described at the time. Paulson had moved to the West Coast—first to Seattle and then to the Bay Area—from

Alaska about four years before physical altercation that ended her death, according to Petros in Paulson’s death. and Waskey.

OPINION LETTERS Medal of Honor holder to speak in MH Friends and Family of Nisei Veterans (FFNV), a locallybased, multi-state Japanese-American veterans’ group, will hold its annual meeting Feb. 10 at the Morgan Hill Buddhist Community Center, 16450 Murphy Ave. The main guest speaker will be Congressional Medal of Honor recipient James Taylor, who was the Grand Marshal of the 2015 Independence Day Parade in Morgan Hill. The host will be Lawson Sakai, who is President of FFNV and also Grand Marshal of the 2014 parade. On Nov. 9, 1967, First Lieutenant Taylor was serving in Vietnam as a cavalry officer. When his troops came under intense enemy fire and one armored assault vehicle was hit, Lt. Taylor jumped into action. The Medal of Honor citation reads: “His actions of unsurpassed valor were a source of inspiration to his entire troop, contributed significantly to the success of the overall assault on the enemy position, and were directly responsible for saving the lives of a number of his fellow soldiers.” The public is cordially invited to attend at 12:30pm.

Businesses are in middle of potential ICE squeeze

he stories began flying last week: Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would raid businesses across California and deport undocumented workers. As of this newspaper’s press time, the raids had not started, but the specter remains. Heightened anxiety about federal immigration policies has already intensified at the ground level of the nation’s biggest economy earlier this month. A new state law, passed in 2016, went into effect Jan. 1. It makes it a crime for business owners and managers to cooperate with ICE in certain circumstances. Rumors of pending ICE raids prompted our outspoken Attorney General Xavier Becerra to warn California employers last week that he wouldn’t hesitate to hit businesses with fines up to $10,000 if they assisted ICE in violation of the new state Immigrant Worker Protection Act. “It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know – more specifically, employers – that if they voluntarily start giving up information about their employees or access to their employees in ways that contradict our new California laws, they subject themselves to actions by my office,” Becerra said. This followed a warning earlier this month from President Trump’s acting director of ICE, Thomas Homan, via Fox News that “California better hold on tight... If the politicians in California don’t want to protect their communities, then ICE will.” A Republican candidate for California governor, Travis Allen, said last week that employers should help federal authorities conducting immigration raids and defy the law that went into effect Jan.1. He said federal officials should consider bringing charges of their own against the attorney general. The new state law: • Requires employers to ask immigration agents for a warrant before granting access to a worksite • Prevents employers from voluntarily

sharing confidential employee information without a subpoena • Requires employers to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records • Gives the attorney general and labor commissioner exclusive authority to enforce new provisions of state labor laws • Prohibits employers from reverifying information on employment verification forms, unless compelled to by federal law. Employers must inform employees of potential lawful ICE raids 72 hours in advance, under the new law. The new law, combined with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and Becerra’s aggressive stance, leaves business owners and their managers unprotected on the front lines of a pitched national immigration battle. Becerra apparently is willing to let the men and women behind the counters and in other workplace settings slowly twist in the breeze, uninformed and unprotected by their state with orders to face off against the intimidating presence of armed federal ICE agents. This heavy-handed confrontational approach by both California and the federal government hurts our most vulnerable businesses and their managers, as this latest immigration enforcement spectacle plays out. Of course there is a larger context: cannabis laws, offshore drilling, solar tariffs, sanctuary cities, pesticide safeguards, student loans, abortion rights, net neutrality and immigration policies are just some of the federal-state flashpoints that seem so clearly directed at us, the biggest and most blue state. Rights of our immigrant workers must be protected, but our small business owners and managers also deserve support and guidance from state officials, instead of threats. To state and federal agencies: These battle lines should be drawn in courtrooms, not in our neighborhood businesses, or our communities will become collateral damage in the immigration wars.

If 58% of the MH registered voters and who voted, were in favor of legalized marijuana then I’d say it’s up to the council to follow the voter’s wishes and not their personal feelings about the issue.

Re: ‘Letter to the editor: Bore underground for High Speed Rail’ And yet every report I've read says the opposite, that tunnels are expensive and will have the potential to increase costs dramatically due to things like the geologic makeup of areas our valley has. The HSRA noted in a letter to the city of San Martin that tunneling is 4-5 times more expensive than raised or at-grade construction. The 1.5 mile tunnel proposed for San Martin, which is needed due to the airport, is projected to cost $1.4 billion. Tunnel proposals have been rejected in other areas, such as the two near Dodger Stadium, which were estimated to cost $260 million per mile, due to costs and practicality. The only non-public financial option would be from a private funding source, which I can't see as practical since rail lines for public transit don't generate the profit investors would want to see in return. An article in the Mercury News reported that communities would have to pay several hundred million dollars for the luxury of having the rail lines run underground. Morgan Hill can't even find the $5+ million it needs annually to fix its streets. “CPaul” via morganhilltimes.com

Council rejects ‘traditional family’ flag CRITICS SAY PROPOSAL SEEKS TO DIVIDE RESIDENTS Michael Moore Editor

Morgan Hill residents and City Councilmembers Jan. 17 strongly rebuked a proposal by a fellow citizen to fly a “Traditional Family” flag over City Hall as homophobic, divisive and a contradiction of the community’s values. Morgan Hill resident Olympia Peralta submitted the proposed flag last year, in accordance with the city’s “flag raising” policy, which was approved by the council in September 2017. She was hoping the flag would fly at city facilities during the month of February 2018. At the Jan. 17 meeting, the council unanimously rejected the flag on a 5-0 vote, also in accordance with their policy. That policy states that any commemorative flag to be considered for display on city flagpoles must “(identify) with a specific date, historical event, cause, nation or group of people,” and must be “consistent with the city’s vision, mission, and ongoing and strategic priorities, incorporating themes of diversity, equity, social justice and inclusion.” The “Traditional Family” flag design proposed by Peralta—which depicts a silhouette of a man,

woman and two children holding hands with a red heart above their heads—seeks only to divide the community and promote hate, according to councilmembers and members of the public. The flag does not support a recognized cause, and is not consistent with the city values identified in the city’s policy, according to city officials. The policy applies to city flagpoles at City Hall, the Community and Cultural Center and the Centennial Recreation Center. These flagpoles daily fly the flags of the State of California and the U.S., but any proposed commemorative flag is subject to the council’s approval. One example of a commemorative flag is the Rainbow Flag that the city flew for LGBTQ Pride month in June 2017. “As a member of the LGBTQ community, I was deeply troubled when I saw this,” said Councilmember Rene Spring. “It is extremely hurtful.” Spring, who met his husband 20 years ago, went on to describe his experience as a gay man. He and his husband only got married “after years of being afraid” of legal and social repercussions against their orientation—a typical experience for LGBTQ people all over the world, he said. He added that the flag proposed by Peralta is similar to flags used by “right-wing homophobic groups” in France, Russia and other countries.

MHUSD seeks new members for the bond oversight committee DEADLINE TO APPLY IS JAN. 26 Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Board of Trustees is seeking qualified candidates to

serve on the independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee for the implementation of the Measure G school facilities bond program, according to a Jan. 11 announcement. The two openings on the

“I do not think flags like that reflect what we are in Morgan Hill,” Spring said. “We are proud to be living in an inclusive community. This flag is offensive to all the LGBTQ members, but also to all our friends. Raising this kind of offensive flag would send the wrong signals across the board.” Other councilmembers objected to the label “traditional family,” noting that there is not a consensus on what the phrase defines. Councilmember Rich Constantine noted that Webster’s dictionary defines a “family” as “traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children,” without specifying the gender of the parents. As a black American, Constantine noted his family has experienced discrimination sponsored by the government, as many members of the country’s LGBTQ community have. Councilmembers and members of the public also pointed out that the families defined by Peralta’s flag as “traditional” are not oppressed or targeted for discrimination as minorities and the LGBTQ community have been throughout the country’s history. “People (in the LGBTQ community) are targeted, abused and murdered for who they are,” Councilmember Caitlin Jachimowicz said. “Traditional families are celebrated every day.” The agenda item was on the

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I was deeply troubled when I saw this

council’s consent calendar for the Jan. 17 meeting, with a recommendation by city staff to reject the flag. While items on the consent calendar are typically approved without discussion, four members of the public asked that the item be pulled for further comment. Joy Joyner said, “A lot of people were unaware this item was on the agenda,” but she and others wanted the public to be aware of the undertones of hatred that she thinks inspired the “Traditional Family” flag request. “This flag proposal was designed specifically to alienate members of this community. ‘Traditional families’ have never had laws (enacted) against them. They have never faced the fear of having their head bashed against the curb for loving the person they love,” said Joyner, who went on to describe that she has been the target of such violence because she is a member of the LGBTQ community. Only one Morgan Hill resident, Brian Faircloth, spoke in favor of the family flag proposal. He said

it is “simply not true” that “traditional values” are not under attack, but he didn’t offer any specific data. “What you’re saying is ‘traditional values’ are not supported in Morgan Hill,” Faircloth told the council. Peralta did not speak at the Jan. 17 council meeting, and did not return a phone call. Her proposal for the flag noted, “We want to highlight the mothers and fathers who are doing their best day (in) and day out to provide a loving and caring environment for their children and ultimately society.” On April 19, 2017, the council declared the month of June “LGBTQ Pride Month” in Morgan Hill, which led to the rainbow flag raising in June. The resolution declaring LGBTQ month notes, in part, “The City of Morgan Hill encourages the celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month to recognize all people in the community deserve to be treated respectfully, fairly and equally regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Approved in November 2012, Measure G is a $198.25-million bond measure that authorizes funding for needed repairs, upgrades, and new construction projects to the District’s schools.

Responsibilities of COC members include: • Inform the public about the District’s expenditure of Measure G bond proceeds; • Review expenditure reports produced by the District; and • Present to the Board of Education an annual written report about their activities. Measure G projects include Burnett modernization, Charter School multipurpose room, the Britton

MORGAN HILL TIMES

City to survey public on support for pot Marijuana, 1 17 council meeting he prefers the city’s current “moratorium” on commercial marijuana sales and related activities in Morgan Hill. He cited public safety as his primary concern, shortly after Police Chief David Swing gave the council a presentation that listed impaired driving, youth access and other crime concerns the police department is likely to deal with as marijuana availability increases in the area. “I am not going to vote for anything that will make this community less safe,” Tate said. Spring, on the other hand— enticed by the possibility of up to $1.6 million in new annual revenue from potential local marijuana sales taxes—noted that marijuana is “already here” and the city should take advantage of Prop 64’s new leniency. “The world is changing. This is a great opportunity to jump on the wagon and do something we as a society and community can benefit (from),” Spring said at the Jan. 17 meeting. “Yes, we can tax it if voters approve. I’d be OK if that money goes into prevention and more (police) positions. This might give us access to state grants (which) could be used for education.”

City officials have been considering what to do about marijuana under Prop 64 since the state’s voters approved the law, which legalizes recreational marijuana use (for those age 21 and up) and commercial sales, in November 2016. Statewide, Prop 64 passed with 57 percent of the vote. About 58 percent of Morgan Hill’s voters voted “yes” to Prop 64. Prop 64 also allows individual cities and counties to decide whether or not to allow commercial marijuana activity, and to what extent. Swing told the council their options are fourfold: • Allow sales, testing, commercial cultivation, delivery and/or production; • Allow testing, commercial cultivation, delivery and/or production; • Registration program for personal cultivators (Prop 64 allows all adult residents to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use, on private property); • The city’s current marijuana policy, which prohibits the sale, cultivation and transport of marijuana for recreational, medical or other

uses. In July 2017, the council updated its ordinance to remove references to “medical marijuana” in response to the approval of Prop 64, and clarifies that existing local restrictions apply to both medical and recreational cannabis sales, cultivation and distribution. A registration program for personal cultivation, however, would require any Morgan Hill resident who is growing marijuana for personal use to register their plantings with the police department, Swing explained last week. He said such a registry would be helpful to police and EMS who arrive at the scene of a residential emergency, so those responders will know if there are marijuana plants growing on site. Failure to register one’s plants could be a misdemeanor, infraction or no penalty, depending on the council’s preference, according to City Attorney Don Larkin.

Pros and cons

But for the time being, the city will leave the current policy unchanged, and will not implement a cultivation registry or allow any commercial marijuana activity in Morgan Hill. At the Jan.

17 meeting, the council directed police and city staff to conduct more research on the different options. This includes commissioning a scientific survey to determine more details of the public’s support for commercial and retail marijuana business, along with an associated tax or fee program, among Morgan Hill’s voters. Swing said such a survey would cost about $27,000, or more depending on the length of the survey. “We need to know what voters want before we put it on the ballot,” Councilman Rich Constantine said, referring to any marijuana program that would impose a new local tax on consumers and businesses. Swing’s presentation to the council included information on other states’ experiences with recreational marijuana—such as Colorado—and how legalization has impacted health and public services. He noted that if Morgan Hill begins to allow retail sales, the community would become the “sole access point for cannabis in South County,” as the City of Gilroy and Santa Clara County governments also currently prohibit sales.

A key concern among law enforcement officials is the potential increase in drivers who are impaired by marijuana, Swing said. “The effects of marijuana are compounded when combined with alcohol,” he noted. Driving under the influence of marijuana is a state vehicle code violation. Swing presented information to the council that indicates that in Colorado, areas with fewer marijuana dispensaries show a lower rate of youth cannabis use. And there are fears associated with the “allcash” nature of the marijuana business, which could make cannabis storefronts and delivery people targets for robbery, Swing said. The benefits of allowing the gamut of commercial marijuana activities include more revenue for city services—between $675,000 and $1.6 million annually—as well as more jobs, Swing said. Cities that allow retail marijuana sales under Prop 64 will also be eligible for certain state grants, though Swing said the details of such funds and what they could be appropriated for are not yet available.

City OKs ‘Vision Zero’ traffic safety plan MHPD TO RAMP UP ENFORCEMENT IN 2018 Staff report

unpredictable; the transportation system should be designed to anticipate error so the consequence is not severe injury or death; • People are inherently vulnerable and speed is a fundamental predictor of crash survival. The transportation system should be designed for speeds that protect human life; • Safe human behaviors, education and enforcement are essential contributors to a safe system; • Policies at all levels of government need to align with making safety the highest priority for roadways. “The elimination of traffic related injuries and deaths is our primary goal,” reads the press release. City staff added that Vision Zero action items fall into one of seven categories: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Engagement, Evaluation, Encouragement and Equity. Some examples of Vision Zero policies and plans are already in place in Morgan Hill, according to city staff. These include more expansive data collection

In response to an uptick in traffic accidents going back several years, the City of Morgan Hill has adopted the “Vision Zero” collision-reduction strategy that combines street planning concepts, education of motorists on traffic safety, enforcement of existing traffic laws and adopting new policies in order to prevent injuries and deaths on the roadways. The Morgan Hill Police Department also announced this week that officers will begin increasing traffic enforcement “in an attempt to reduce injury collisions in 2018,” reads a Jan. 18 press release. “Effective immediately, the MHPD traffic team and members of the patrol division will be conducting proactive traffic enforcement during peak commute hours,” the press release states. “The mission of the officers is to educate motorists on the importance of traffic safety and to enforce traffic laws when necessary.”

Such enforcement is just one aspect of the overarching Vision Zero concept, which was developed by authorities in Sweden in 1997, according to a presentation given by city staff to the Morgan Hill City Council Jan. 17. The council unanimously adopted the Vision Zero plan at that meeting. The Vision Zero mindset includes shifting from traditional assumptions, such as the belief that traffic fatalities are inevitable and that human error is not a significant factor in collisions, according to city staff. Under Vision Zero, authorities and planners assume that fatalities are preventable, human error will occur frequently and so forth. According to city staff, the guiding principles of Vision Zero include: • Traffic deaths are preventable and unacceptable; • Human life takes priority over mobility and other objectives of the road system, which should be safe for all users, all modes of transportation, in all communities and for people of all ages and abilities; • Human error is inevitable and

This accident was outside Morgan Hill Police Department’s jurisdiction. and analysis of collisions and traffic reporting; more diligent evaluation of planning for midblock crosswalks; installation of “countdown timers” at newer signalized intersections; and consideration of future upgrades for several existing intersections/crosswalks to improve cyclist and pedestrian safety. Morgan Hill Police attribute the increase in traffic accidents in

recent years to more commuter traffic on city streets, as well as more motorists using phone and GPS apps (such as Waze) that reroute drivers onto local roads. In 2017, MHPD responded to 269 traffic accidents in the city limits, which is in fact down from 287 such accidents in 2016, according to authorities. In 2014 and 2015, police responded to 209 accidents each year.

S. County family recounts knife assault Pinocchio’s, 1 he will regain full use of his arm to be able to throw pizza dough as he has for four decades. Sal’s wife, Vickie, is a Gilroy native. “I’m just glad he is alive,” she said. She said her mother lives a couple of blocks away, and saw the police cars outside the business. She couldn’t get past the barricades yellow tape. After Gilroy firefighter paramedics got an IV going, Sal was taken to St. Louise Regional Hospital. Gina and Vickie said the attacker had been angry and

barely coherent, accusing the Italian-American family of being terrorists. He mentioned President Trump and said the Oliveris should be deported, after Vickie had declined to shake his hand a few moments before the attack. “I’m an American,” Vickie said he had shouted. “It wasn’t even a robbery,” said Sal, shaking his head. He grew up first in Detroit, and then Little Italy on New York’s Lower East Side — tough immigrant neighborhoods. But he said he never saw a crime like this. The Oliveris lived in Morgan

Hill for 25 years — Gina graduated from Live Oak High — then moved back to Gilroy when they opened the Church Street location four years ago. Shortly after moving in, there northside home was burglarized. On the fateful Saturday, Jan. 6, “I was making pizza, then I heard the commotion.” he said. “When he came in the door, he opened his knife, then he starts jumping up and down. This guy — you don’t know what he’s going to do. He’s going to hurt someone,” Sal recalled. “When I saw the knife, I started

to call 911, I just froze,” said Gina. “When I saw the knife, I thought, this is going to end up bad,” said Sal. “I was worried the customers were going to get hurt — my daughter, my wife. I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.” “My back was turned and he comes at me, and my dad and husband saw that he was coming at me,” said Gina. “The first thing in my mind was I am not going to let her get hurt,” recalled Duke. “I don’t care what happens to me.” Duke escaped uninjured.

The counter at the restaurant is filled with flowers and cards from neighbors, friends and customers. “This community, this community so great. People have been so great,” said Sal. Gina said Gilroy officers stopped by the day after the attack, to see how the family was doing. It is a family business. No employees. Just family. They treat their customers like family. And this month, their customers responded with words of encouragement, flowers — and of course orders for the locally famous Oliveri pizza.

MH, Gilroy join forces against cancer Relay, 1 joining forces to generate even more funds and awareness throughout South County to help with the fight to find a cure. “I feel like there is going to be a great cross section of families and businesses that will help make our Relay a fantastic event.” While Renggli said the change has been well-received by Morgan Hill participants, Thomas noted she’s experienced some pushback from Gilroy participants who have learned about the Relay taking place at an outof-town venue. Nonetheless, the organizers of the Relays are following the directives put forth by ACS this year to streamline the

charitable enterprise, according to Renggli. “It hurts me that we don’t have much support from previous Gilroy relayers,” Thomas said. “I understand it is hard for some of the Gilroy teams to accept that we have merged. However, Morgan Hill is 12 minutes away. I don’t Relay for the location. I Relay for the cause.” Thomas has asked former relayers to attend the kickoff meeting “with an open mind” and continue to support ACS. In 2017, the Morgan Hill Relay raised more than $100,000, with the event being held at Morgan Hill Community Park, and has raised $1.1

million since its inception while the Gilroy Relay has eclipsed $2 million overall in its local fundraising event, which was held at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy. Early in 2018, there are 25 teams signed up with 67 total participants for the inaugural Relay For Life of South County. The early squads have combined to generate $4,235. Those interested in forming a team or joining one should contact Nick Pauliukonis at (925) 922-9923 to get started. “Let’s all relay for the cause. We welcome everyone from the Gilroy and Morgan Hill communities,” Thomas said. “Let’s work together to find a cure for cancer.”

Flying High AERIAL SHOW Live Oak High goalkeeper Andres Rosales makes a leaping save as Sobrato High’s Arinze Okafor looks for a rebound in Monday’s 1-1 draw in a Blossom Valley Athletic League West Valley Division match. Okafor scored for the Bulldogs, while Luis Olivera scored for the Acorns.

LIVE OAK, SOBRATO AIM FOR 2ND HALF CHARGE emanuel lee Sports Editor

Highlight reel

“It was an amazing goal,” Araujo said. “No keeper would’ve gotten that shot.” Not even Live Oak sophomore 6-foot-4 goalkeeper Andres Rosales, whom Hernandez calls the team’s MVP and an absolute game-changer. “He made a ton of stops, especially in the last three minutes,” Hernandez said. “He came up with some huge saves to preserve the tie. Andres is fearless, stands tall in box and comes out on 1 on 1s. He’s long, very tall and gets all the high balls. He makes all the plays.” Sobrato also has a pretty dynamic goalkeeper in senior Evan Martinez, who possesses tremendous reflexes, communicates well with defenders and comes off his line to snag a lot of 50-50 balls from opposing players. “Evan was the keeper of the year (in our division) last year,” Araujo said. In addition to Rosales, the Acorns have been paced by the play of Caleb

Ojeda, Christian Guary, Andrew Diaz and Olivera. Ojeda, a freshman forward, and Guary, a senior forward, form a dynamic duo up top. “Caleb and Christian both have outstanding speed and shots,” Hernandez said. “Both are excellent with the ball, Christian’s speed is second to none, and Caleb plays a real physical game.” Hernandez said Diaz, a senior who can play any position on the field and often does, is “probably our most inspirational and best player on the team.” Diaz is always willing to do whatever is best for the team. Usually a midfielder, Diaz played defender against Live Oak. “Wherever we’re feeling vulnerable, Andrew will go and play there,” Hernandez said. “He’s always around the ball, and the ball always seems to find him at the right spot.” Olivera is another player who can play multiple positions. The senior played in the midfield against Sobrato, and his goal came after he knifed through the defense. The Acorns haven’t had their full 20-man roster all season, as they have battled numerous injuries throughout. “We’ve played a lot of games with 10 to 11 kids due to injury,” Hernandez said. “But we’re hoping to turn the corner with our health and the results that would follow. We’re optimistic we can make that second-half charge.” And so are the Bulldogs, who have a longer hill to climb up the league standings compared to their crosstown rivals. Araujo said the team has had to deal with two forfeit losses in the early part

Robert Eliason

The Live Oak High and Sobrato High boys soccer teams are both confident they’ll be stronger in the second half of the Blossom Valley League West Valley Division season. The Acorns were 1-1-5 and the Bulldogs 1-4-2 in league after the two squads played to a 1-1 draw Monday. It was a great result for Sobrato, which played with a man down after standout striker Arinze Okafor went off for a red card around the 25-minute mark. “It was a better game for them than it was for us,” Acorns coach David Hernandez said. “My boys struggled to say the least. Sobrato played an outstanding game, and they had a good game plan coming in. But when they lost one of their best players, we should expect more out of ourselves.” Even though the Acorns didn’t take advantage of being a man up, Hernandez feels his team is headed in the right direction. Live Oak has played the three teams ahead of it in the league standings to draws, and now it’s a matter of getting over the hump. That is the same story with Sobrato, which struggled mightily in the early going only to turn things up a notch lately, including a 3-1 win over Silver Creek last week. “The team is very

motivated and united right now,” said Bulldogs coach Mario Araujo, who said assistant coach Jeff Brown has been integral in the team’s turnaround. “They can see the improvement coming every single game. The players are starting to believe in the excellent team we have.” In Monday’s draw, Okafor scored in the 20th minute before Live Oak’s Luis Olivera got the equalizer in the 65th minute. Okafor, a senior striker, took on two defenders down the left wing before cutting in and gaining separation near the left edge of the 18-yard box. He then drilled a shot into the opposite upper corner for a score.

UP AND AWAY Sobrato’s Sean Rashid and Live Oak’s Caleb Ojeda battle for the ball in Monday’s 1-1 draw. Both squads are looking to make a push in the second half of league. of the league schedule, and they’ve been climbing the proverbial mountain ever since.

Optimism abounds

However, Araujo expressed confidence the team is about to turn the corner and start collecting some victories. Led by Martinez, Okafor, Max Brown and Dylan Gallipeo, the Bulldogs could be primed for a strong

finish. Okafor blends physical tenacity with the ability to make plays on a moment’s notice. “Arinze is really strong and big, and any time he goes in the air, he’s going to win that ball,” Araujo said. “He’s very aggressive, but he’s not dirty. “ Brown, a center midfielder, has great touch, terrific dribbling skills, is strong on the ball and delivers through balls

that can knife through defenses. Gallipeo, a sophomore, is the team’s utility, able to play multiple positions. “We call him our universal player,” Araujo said. “Any place where we need to fill a hole, he can do it. He’s an amazing player, has speed and knows exactly where to go on the field to put himself in a great position for himself or his teammates.”

Morales’ impact goes beyond the field SOBRATO HIGH HAS A TREMENDOUS STUDENT-ATHLETE WHO LOOKS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT WILL LAST emanuel lee Sports Editor

Hard worker

“Kayla has worked really, really hard to get to the level she’s at,” Thomas said. “She expects herself to play at a high level all the time. When it comes to the games, she sees the game differently than everybody else. Match that with her skill, and that is what makes her so special.” For Morales, earning a college scholarship was something she didn’t even dream about until she got to high school. “When I got my first email from a college coach in my freshman year, that boosted my confidence,” she said. In conversations with Cal State East Bay coach Amy Gerace, Morales recalled Gerace saying, “She liked how I played smart on the field, my movement and that

I didn’t really panic.” Cal State East Bay offered Morales the scholarship last summer; however, Morales weighed her options for a couple of months before making a verbal commitment shortly after Thanksgiving Day. In between then, a couple of out-of-state colleges offered Morales a scholarship, but she knew she wanted to stay closer to home. Morales has earned an athletic scholarship despite balancing soccer, school and work. Morales works two jobs, carries a 3.81 GPA and is involved in community service. Even in an era when highachieving high school graduates are doing great things, Morales’ resume is second to none. More important, Morales’ heart to give back will make an impact in other people’s lives far after her soccer career is over. Morales has done an array of civic-minded activities, including feeding the homeless, blood drives and helping to change fire alarms in people’s houses to make sure they are up to date. Morales is also taking a class called AVID, which requires student to make a proposal for a project and complete 50 hours of work for a given semester. For her project, Morales and teammate Jessica Gonzales are going to do a blood drive based off of sickle cell disease and how it affects people. “We’re trying to build a program that educates people and help promote more people to donate blood and save other people’s lives,” she said.

Robert Eliason

Kayla Morales will never be mistaken for a rah-rah type of player. Rather, the Sobrato High senior lets her actions do all the talking. Quiet, unassuming and humble, Morales has been an integral part of a Bulldogs team that is seeking its first Central Coast Section playoff championship in program history. Morales, who has made a verbal commitment to play at Cal State East Bay in Hayward, scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win at Branham last Friday. Morales took a nice pass from Hannah Pefferlen and went to the far post after making a strong run down the wing. “That is the bread and butter play for her,” Sobrato coach Ted Thomas said. “She has three goals just like that this season. The ball got played in from the middle, and Hannah got it out to Kayla, who bounced out wide and took her defenders out on the wings before cutting in. She hits it to the far post every time. When I see her on the outside making plays like that, we have a really good shot at winning the game.” Morales has had a blast playing on this year’s team, which entered the week at

8-0-3 overall and 5-0-1 in the Blossom Valley League’s Mount Hamilton Division. “The girls make it fun,” she said. “We have a lot of players on the varsity who have been playing together for a long time, and we’ve had a chance to grow together and get closer. I feel like we bond on and off the field well.” On the field, Morales’ talent is evident. Taller than most of her peers, Morales is strong on the ball and always calm. She rarely looks rushed, makes pinpoint passes and has a rocket for a shot. It’s no coincidence that Morales has reached this point; after all, she is an incredibly hard worker who has made her way to the top.

PLAYMAKER Kayla Morales, a Sobrato High senior forward, has tallied several goals for

a Bulldogs squad that is aiming for its first CCS championship in program history.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
