TWO JUVENILE SUSPECTS ARRESTED Michael Moore Editor
Two Morgan Hill teens are in custody after a Feb. 21 shooting in a busy shopping center that left a young San Jose man injured, according to police. It was the first shooting reported in Morgan Hill in 2018. Investigators are trying to determine how one of the 17-year-old suspects acquired a handgun, which is illegal for California residents younger than 18 to own. Authorities have declined to release the suspects’ names because they are juveniles. ➝ Shooting, 12 Robert Eliason

Fat Tuesday rolled around a little late this year for seniors at the the Centennial Recreation Senior Center, Tuesday, Feb. 27. Attendees donned beads and embraced the spirit of Carnival during a themed lunch
celebration at the center, where they offer offer a daily lunch for seniors 60 and older, for a suggested donation of $3—part of the center’s nutritional program in partnership with Santa Clara County. “We hold themed lunches at least once a month, but held a party for Valentine’s day just two weeks ago and wanted to spread out the festivities,” said Community and engagement coordinator, Elizabeth Near.

Renter’s burden persists in thriving market HUNDREDS OF MARKET-RATE APARTMENTS BEING BUILT IN MORGAN HILL Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

It's no secret to anyone who rents an apartment in Morgan Hill—it's costly. Among the reasons why is a basic tenant of economics—supply and demand. And in the Bay
Area, demand far exceeds supply. That may change in Morgan Hill over the next several years nearly 500 market-rate units are expected to be built. The issue of high rents was brought up at a Morgan Hill City Council meeting in January, which prompted Councilmember Rene Spring to request information from city staff about rent control. While rent control is not expected to be implemented here—in part due

to the lack of units in Morgan Hill that can be subject to rent control— the issue of high rent is on the minds of those in city government. “I brought it up because we have a serious issue in the area,” Spring said. “Not everyone has large salary tech jobs. We’re in need of housing that our teachers can afford, and given this crazy market, even below-market-rate units will be out of reach for most people.”
Recent history shows that developers have shied away from proposing large market-rate apartment projects in Morgan Hill. “The city has not had any development of market-rate apartments of over four units in the past 15 years,” said Assistant City Manager Leslie Little. “We have constructed several affordable rent-restricted rentals during that time, including more than 250 senior apartments and
more than 100 affordable family units.” The first dilemma in Morgan Hill is that there are so few affordable housing units available for those making 60 percent of the county’s median income rates or below. Currently, the city has over 1,100 rental units that are under some form of rent restriction. At the moment, there are no vacancies in any of the apartments. ➝ Rents & Control, 12

Silicon Valley manufacturer finds a good fit PINNACLE THRIVES IN MORGAN HILL LOCATION Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
Bryce Stoepfel
If you take a look at your surroundings—your desk, chair, car, refrigerator. All of these things have something in common—they were likely built, piece by piece, by a manufacturer. Pinnacle Manufacturing, a sheet metal and machining fabricator that moved to Morgan Hill in 2009, is one of those companies. Many of the parts they manufacture become some of the medical tools that might save your life. “We’re a contract manufacturer, but we don’t make finished medical products or products sold in retail stores,” Pinnacle co-owner Dave Brinton said. When Pinnacle was considering moving from their previous location in San Jose, there were many considerations they needed to work out, including real estate prices and commute times, along with finding a city government that made doing business as smooth as possible. They found what they were looking for in Morgan Hill. “I didn’t realize how much I hated the Silicon Valley commute until I didn’t have to do it anymore,” Brinton said. “I live in Gilroy, and it's a nostress 15-minute commute to get to work. When we were in San Jose, we'd
need to plan projects around the traffic. We just knew that at certain times of day we wouldn’t leave the building.” In 2008, when Pinnacle was searching to expand from its 21,000-square-foot building, they found the real estate market in San Jose to be prohibitive. They found what they were looking for in Morgan Hill, namely, an 85,000-square-foot facility at 17680 Butterfield Boulevard,which they bought for $5 million. “We didn't come down here to rent, and if we had stayed in San Jose, we would have paid $10 million for a similar building,” Brinton said. The City of Morgan Hill was eager to have Pinnacle Manufacturing move to town, and to assist Brinton to make the move happen, the city assigned Tammy Brownlow, the current CEO of the Gilroy Economic Development Corporation, to help clear the way. Still, Pinnacle had several questions to answer to make sure the move was right for the company. “Between the commute time for our employees, we needed to think about logistics for our suppliers and consumers, most of whom are in Silicon Valley,” Brinton said. “Almost all of those things were either not prohibitive, or they were non-issues. I estimate our net commute dropped by 30 percent.” The larger space in Morgan Hill allows for
PARTS OF THE PROCESS Pinnacle Manufacturing Co-owner Dave Brinton found
Morgan Hill to be the perfect place for his manufacturing operation. plenty of room for their business offices, warehouses and manufacturing operation, as well as room to expand their workforce from its current 75 employees to 150 if needed. “I hope we never need to move our company again, and I don’t expect to,” Brinton said. “If we need more warehouse space, we can do that offsite, but we won’t need to move our manufacturing operation.”
Despite the challenge of doing business in California due to regulations, Pinnacle Manufacturing’s business is largely based in Silicon Valley. In Morgan Hill, Pinnacle found a home base close enough to its customers, but not too close to the congestion of San Jose. So, why don't more Silicon Valley companies consider moving to South Valley? “A lot of people won’t consider this area to do business; people don’t
think it has enough prestige,” Brinton said. “Morgan Hill is Silicon Valley, but, it's not Silicon Valley.” Pinnacle Manufacturing is primarily a metal fabricator, but they also do value-added assembly, such as wiring, cooling fans and other components for companies in Silicon Valley, across the continental U.S. and several overseas customers. According to Brinton, Pinnacle's quality and customer service are the best around.
“We don’t have an outside sales force because we don’t need one,” Brinton said. “We take care of our customers, and we have a very high level of customer service. That’s why we don’t need salespeople. Our business model is, if you take care of them they never leave. We gained three or four new accounts already this year because of word of mouth from customers we already have.”

Enjoy the region’s wine during Passport Month
I
t seems that it’s all about events this time of the year. We’re planning for them and talking about the coming year, all in terms of events. By events, I mean the plethora of fun happenings you can all attend whose co-function is to raise money for some worthy cause. Fundraising events are one of the great “win-wins” of life: you get to have fun, and someone makes money and does even more good for the community with that money. It’s kind of like the “law of conservation of energy,” only here it’s the money you spend that doesn’t lose energy and will come back to the entire community with no noticeable loss in effectiveness. I’d like to take a break from the Amgen Tour of California for a moment and turn your attention to one of my favorite events of the year, and it’s usually the first one too. The Wineries of Santa Clara Valley puts on two major events every year supporting the local wine association and bringing joy to those that appreciate fine wine: the Spring and Fall Wine Passport events. The first one starts this weekend (March 2-4), and it will be the best one yet. Of course, that’s what they always say but what if a twoday event got extended to 30 days, and the kickoff evening event just increased from 16 wineries and 12 restaurants to 22 wineries and 15 restaurants? I would say we have a bigger and better event! This Friday, March 2, that kickoff event will take place at the Coyote Creek Golf Club clubhouse. Since I’m usually working the event I probably pay more attention to the people than most, and all I can say is they
have a lot of fun and I wish I could join them. The finest in local wines will be poured, and this is where you can get up close to so many of our local heroes of wine. I’m going to call them heroes because so many aren’t making wine for the perceived fortunes to be made (there is a joke about how to end up with a small fortune in the wine industry: start with a big one…). They are working hard to express their passion in winemaking and help promote this wine region. I can only hope they are feeling rewarded for those efforts. Friday night will also find some of the finest restaurants in the South County showcasing their fine foods. Here too you may get to meet many of the people responsible for bringing their fine foods to you. Regardless of who is serving up the food, it is always impressive and I hope that you’ll find something from a restaurant you haven’t yet tried that inspires a future visit. The wine association is aware that many passport holders tried to visit all the wineries in the old two-day period. It could be a bit much for some so now you have an entire month to make all those tasty visits, because the spring passport event goes from March 3-31. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it again: make a plan of what wineries you want to visit, and then venture out and enjoy yourself. You can do it often now, so be safe. Kick off a year of fun events and a month of wine tasting this Friday! Fore more information about Passport Month and the order tickets, visit the Wineries of Santa Clara Valley website at santaclarawines.com/ passport.html.

Time for Mr. Carr to resign from the city council. One guilty plea in 2015 and now this second charge of Domestic Battery. If he continues to represent the citizens of MH, it means we, as a Community condone this type of behavior. I for one, find this unacceptable. But I understand everyone has a right to their opinion.

Five killed in separate accidents SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER ACCUSED OF MURDER OF 6-YEAR-OLD SON Michael Moore
Motorcyclist dies
Less than an hour earlier on Feb. 25—about 4:10pm—authorities responded to a collision in which an SUV struck a motorcycle, resulting in a motorcyclist’s death, according to CHP. That accident took place at the intersection of SR 156 and San Felipe Road in Hollister. A 43-year-old Gilroy man, later identified as Michael Gonzalez, was driving a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle with a 29-yearold female passenger, also of Gilroy, on the back, according to police. The driver of the motorcycle was stopped at a red traffic light in the left turn of SR 156, poised to turn onto northbound San Felipe Road. A 2005 GMC Sierra, driven by a 66-year-old Hollister man, was approaching

Five people—including a 6-year-old boy and an adult bicyclist—were killed in separate traffic accidents in San Benito and Santa Clara counties in less than a week, according to the California Highway Patrol. Two of the accidents occurred Sunday, Feb. 25 in the Hollister area, and were reported less than an hour apart. One of these resulted in the arrest of an allegedly intoxicated driver on a homicide charge in connection with the death of his 6-year-old son, who was a passenger in his father’s vehicle, according to police. About 5pm Feb. 25, authorities responded to a single-vehicle accident on McCloskey Road, just east of San Felipe Road. The Highway Patrol reported that Jesus Mora, 30 of Hollister, had been driving a GMC Sierra westbound on McCloskey Road with two children in the front seat, when he drifted “completely off the roadway onto the dirt shoulder” of the roadway, according to a press release from the CHP Hollister-Gilroy area office. The driver lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a wooden utility pole. Police said Mora swerved off the road “due to his level of intoxication.” The collision resulted
in fatal injuries to Mora’s 6-year-old passenger, who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, according to the CHP press release. The other child, a 7-year-old boy, was flown to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center with major injuries. At the scene, Mora referred to the two young boys in the vehicle as his children, according to CHP Officer Chris Miceli. The San Benito County Sheriff ’s Office later identified the boy who died as Camillo Mora-Valles, of Salinas. Mora was arrested on suspicion of murder and driving while intoxicated, causing bodily injury. He was booked into the San Benito County Jail, according to police.
SCENE OF FATALITY Utility pole at left on McCloskey Road north of Hollister was sheared when a pickup truck ran off the road on Feb. 25, killing a 6-year-old passenger. the intersection on southbound SR 156 at about 50 mph. For an unknown reason, the motorcyclist began making a left turn onto San Felipe Road while the traffic light was red, police said. After entering the intersection, the motorcyclist was unable to avoid a collision with the SUV. As a result, the Harley Davidson driver suffered fatal injuries upon impact, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. His passenger suffered major injuries and was transported to Natividad Medical Center.
Ford eastbound on SR 152 (Pacheco Pass), with a 49-year-old female passenger in the vehicle, police said. For an unknown reason, the driver turned the vehicle to the right, causing the Ford to leave the roadway, travel across the right shoulder and collide with a tree, police reported. The collision occurred just east of Lake Road. The driver of the vehicle suffered fatal injuries, and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office identified her as Krista Evers.
Single-vehicle death
Cyclist struck by car
Another single-vehicle accident resulted in the driver’s death Feb. 24 on SR 152 in eastern unincorporated Santa Clara County east of Gilroy, according to the CHP. About 2:10pm, a 49-year-old Monterey woman was driving a 2014
The recent rash of fatalities began Feb. 19, when a Cupertino bicyclist died after a collision with a Toyota just south of Hollister, according to police. The accident occurred about 5pm. A 2001 Toyota, driven by a 40-year-old
San Lorenzo man, was traveling northbound on SR 25 just south of Cienega Road, according to CHP. The 65-year-old cyclist, riding a Trek bicycle, was traveling on SR 25 in the same direction as the Toyota, when the bigger vehicle approached from behind, according to police. The Toyota collided with the bicyclist “due to the unsafe speed of ” the Toyota, police said. The collision caused the cyclist to be ejected from his bicycle before hitting the asphalt roadway, according to CHP. Authorities pronounced the cyclist dead at the scene. The cyclist was identified as Jonathan Kaplan. The driver of the Toyota suffered a minor cut to his finger, according to police. Three passengers in the Toyota were uninjured. It “does not appear” that alcohol or drugs were a factor in this accident, according to
police. The accident remains under investigation.
Shore Road fatality
The latest fatality reported by CHP occurred north of Hollister the afternoon of Feb. 26. About 3:12pm, a 52-year-old Hollister man was traveling eastbound on Shore Road west of San Felipe Road in a 1995 Chevrolet S-10, according to a press release from the CHP. For an unknown reason, the driver allowed the vehicle to travel across the westbound traffic lane and onto the north shoulder of Shore Road. The vehicle collided with two trees, police said. As a result, the driver suffered fatal injuries, according to the CHP. The San Benito County Sheriff’s Office identified the driver as Steve Lawrence. Anyone with information about these accidents can call CHP at (408) 848-2324.
Community cannabis survey comes to town RESULTS EXPECTED BACK AT MORGAN HILL CITY COUNCIL IN MAY Nicholas Preciado Reporter
While recreational cannabis has been legal in California for over a year, the City of Morgan Hill is still testing the waters on whether to jump headfirst into the green gold rush. The Morgan City Council on Feb. 7 approved moving forward with a community survey to examine potential revenue options for cannabis businesses. San Mateo-based Godbe Research will conduct the survey on a contract not to exceed $30,000. The survey is expected to start in March, with findings to be presented to the city council in May.
Councilman Rene Spring said he is looking forward to getting feedback on whether voters would approve of a special tax measure for cannabis businesses. “If our voters would not support such a special cannabis business tax, I won’t be in support of cannabis-related business in our city either, as it only would lead to additional costs with no additional tax money coming in from those businesses to offset those costs and add additional tax income for the city on top of that,” Spring said. Around 58 percent of Morgan Hill voters approved of Proposition 64 in 2016, which made it legal for adults 21 and over to buy, possess, use, share and transport up to one ounce of cannabis. The law also allows for personal cultivation of up to six plants for personal use. Councilwoman Caitlin Robinett Jachimowicz said that while
the majority of voters approved Proposition 64, the law allows for local regulation and control. “Just because we know the majority of voters wanted to legalize the use of cannabis, this does not tell us how they expect cannabis to be regulated in their individual communities,” Jachimowicz said. “Each of our communities is unique and each city is faced with the task of determining how the industry will best fit into our landscape.” The council updated its cannabis ordinance in July 2017 to clarify that local restrictions apply to both medical and recreational cannabis sales, cultivation and distribution. The city has had a ban in place for around 10 years. Spring is in support of allowing cannabis businesses in town so long as the city can control and tax them.
“With our voters approving of Proposition 64 with a clear majority, the people have spoken,” Spring said. “We have to respect that, and we have to make the best out of this new reality. I would rather put meaningful controls in place for cannabis-related businesses and to tax them appropriately to use that tax money to offset any costs, to hire more police officers, and to use for education purposes.” The community survey is expected to evaluate local voter interest in the cannabis industry to include deliveries and retail sales, receptiveness to taxation and at what threshold, statistically valid controls for survey bias, and test different audiences. Survey questions are still being developed. “The survey will be using a random sampling of registered
and unregistered voters in Morgan Hill so that the council has a broad perspective on this important policy issue,” Morgan Hill Public Information Officer Maureen Tobin said. Jachimowicz said she hoped the survey would help the city get a pulse on community opinion on the more nuanced aspects of Proposition 64. “I am hoping for direction from the community as to how they think the law can best be implemented in our city,” she said. Come May, Morgan Hill could be one step closer to welcoming a rapidly expanding industry into city limits. Said Spring: “It could be a great opportunity for our city if implemented right. Let’s change the stigma of cannabis and its use. Prohibition has never worked!”

Norman Mineta dines in Morgan Hill HE AND WIFE DENI WERE VISITING FRIENDS, FAMILY Michael Moore Editor
Olive’s Cleaning Service
Scott Hinrichs
Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Congressman and namesake of San Jose’s international airport Norman Mineta dined at a downtown Morgan Hill restaurant Wednesday night. Mineta, 86—who now lives in Maryland—was in the area visiting family and longtime colleagues. The Times caught up with him and his wife, Deni, at Ladera Grill Feb. 21. They were dining with Mineta’s former chief of staff and his wife, John and Michelle Flaherty, who live in Gilroy. Mineta was born and raised in San Jose, and represented the U.S. congressional district that included San Jose and Morgan Hill during the 1980s. However, he said Wednesday it’s been some time since he stopped in town. “I can’t get over how nice Morgan Hill looks,” said Mineta, who ordered osso buco for dinner.
Mineta’s political career began in the late 1960s when he served on the San Jose City Council. He served one term as the city’s mayor starting in 1971. He then served 11 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. After a few years in the private sector, Mineta returned to public service as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce for President Bill Clinton. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed him the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. He served in that post until 2006, when he retired. The Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is named after the politician, who remains popular in the area. John Flaherty was Mineta’s chief of staff while Mineta was in congress and in the Bush administration. Michelle Flaherty now works for the City of Palo Alto. Mineta said Feb. 21 that his health has improved after it declined somewhat in recent years, and he is eager to get back into traveling more. In addition to the Flahertys, he was also visiting family in San Jose and Redwood City.
REGIONAL LEGEND Norman and Deni Mineta indulged a Times news crew for a photo and quick interview while they sat for dinner at Ladera Grill restaurant in downtown Morgan Hill Feb. 21. Not pictured are the Minetas’ dinner companions, John and Michelle Flaherty of Gilroy.

Crime is city’s first shooting in 2018 Shooting, 1
male, according to police. MHPD officers were joined by Santa Clara County deputies—plus K9 dogs and a police helicopter—in searching the surrounding neighborhood the evening of Feb. 21. A police helicopter hovered above the neighborhood, using an infrared camera to search for “hot spots” on the ground where someone might be hiding. Authorities also searched the suspect’s residence, but were unable to immediately locate him or the weapon used in the shooting. The second suspect later turned himself in at Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall, according to police. He was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police have not recovered the handgun used in the shooting, Hoefling said. The shooting victim was transported to San Jose Regional Medical Center shortly after paramedics arrived at the scene, and he was released the following day.
Altercation
The police investigation revealed that the two suspects approached the victim at the intersection of Tennant and Church, and a verbal argument “immediately began,” police said. One of the suspects pulled out a black semiautomatic handgun and fired two rounds, one of which struck the victim in the leg.
Michael Moore
Police responded to multiple 911 calls from witnesses who reported the shooting about 8pm at Tennant Station, according to MHPD Sgt. Troy Hoefling. Officers responded and located an 18-year-old male from San Jose suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper leg. Standing nearby was a large group of witnesses. Officers determined the man was shot in front of Commonwealth Credit Union, which is located next to Tennant Avenue in the shopping center, across the street from the intersection with Church Street. One of the suspects had fired two rounds, only one of which hit the victim. Witnesses at the scene told police that two subjects were involved in the shooting, according to Hoefling. Officers located one of the suspects who was still in the area, and ordered him to stop. That suspect—later identified as a 17-year-old male—fled on foot, but police caught up to him and arrested him after a short pursuit. In addition to being involved in the shooting, police booked him on suspicion of possession of an illegal weapon, as he had a miniature bat on him. Witnesses also told police that the second suspect was seen running northbound on Church Street before officers arrived. Police were able to identify the outstanding suspect as a 17-year-old
CRIME SCENE Morgan Hill Police blocked the intersection of Tennant Avenue and Church Street and surrounding areas while they investigated a shooting in the area Feb. 21. Hoefling later said the incident does not appear to be gang-related, but the suspects and victim knew each other. He added the altercation escalated quickly, from a loud verbal argument to two shots fired by one of the suspects. A Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman said one of the suspects was charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm at a Feb. 27 hearing, with an enhancement for causing great bodily harm. The other suspect is scheduled to appear March 5. Both
hearings were set to take place at the Hall of Justice in San Jose. Statistically, Tennant Station has been a safe shopping center. Since Jan. 1, 2017, police have responded to only two violent incidents at Tennant Station—the Feb. 21 shooting and a robbery of a cell phone from a Safeway customer on May 29, 2017, according to police. Other types of calls are more frequent at the shopping center, which houses the grocery store as well as a movie theater, restaurants and other shops. Since Jan.
1, 2017, these calls include 36 reports of theft, 29 reported disturbances and 25 “suspicious person” calls, according to MHPD Police Analyst Margarita Balagso. The shooting is the first in Morgan Hill in 2018. The last shooting here was in December 2017, when three young men entered a home on Calle Mazatan and shot the 62-yearold resident. Police said the suspects, who were arrested down the road after they fled the residence in a vehicle, knew the victim and robbed him before they shot him.
The victim survived the gunshot wound. In October 2017, police also responded to a shooting in the area of Denali and Scotts Bluff Drive. The suspect, who has not been identified or arrested, shot at a residence during a dispute about unsafe driving, according to police. No injuries were reported in that incident. On April 1, 2017, Morgan Hill police arrested a suspect from Soledad who shot a man in Morgan Hill during a road-rage incident. The victim survived that shooting.
More apartments coming to MH Rents & Control, 1 “All the apartment companies have a waiting list, there is so much demand for affordable housing,” Little said. The state does not allow rent regulation for single-family homes or duplexes and any other unit that has been built after 1995, meaning these units may not be subject to rent control. This restriction is meant to add incentive to developers to build high-density affordable housing rather than focus on single-family homes. “When I asked city staff to investigate rent control, my intention was to educate myself on the matter, but I don’t know if it’s feasible,” Spring said. “The
state limits what we can do in terms of rent control, and there are very few units at the moment that could be subjected to rent control. It would also not be cheap for the city to control the issue.” Developers have significant incentive to build single-family homes though. Following the sale of a single-family home, a developer may expect to make an immediate profit. For higher density housing, such as largescale affordable housing projects, it may take years for a developer to see a return on their investment due to high construction costs, developments fees and myriad other costs that a developer must pay.

Because of this, making a profit may take years of patience. Hence, the housing crisis everyone is aware of in California and, in particular, the Bay Area, where the average rent exceeds $2,000. The supply of market rate apartments does not meet the demand, leading to high rates of rent and long waitlists for affordable housing projects. Also, in Morgan Hill, due to growth restrictions under Measure S, a developer may not gain approval to build more than 100 units in a single year.
Market-rate thrives
There is good news on the way for renters. Two
new large-scale marketrate apartment projects are currently in the works, including 85 market-rate apartments on Condit Road, and 385 marketrate apartments on Butterfield Boulevard, north of the Sports Complex. The housing ownership market seems to have found Morgan Hill, apparently a place where the demand is high enough for developers to make a significant investment in market-rate apartments. In the last eight years, Morgan Hill has seen an increase in new townhomes, in addition to new single-family homes. Morgan Hill has also welcomed its first condominium project in the Barley Place, a 16-unit

condo development on Depot Street that recently opened its doors for owners to move in. For some, the new market-rate apartments are a blessing. For others, who want Morgan Hill to be made up of only single-family homes, the new units are not such great news. Higher-density homes mean more citizens and faster overall growth. To throttle down the rapidity of growth, Measure S sets a limit of 215 unit allocations a year. This year, it will be less, with only 195 units approved by the council. But, in the next 10 years or so, Morgan Hill will see 465 new market-rate apartments, to go along with the existing
1,100 deed-restricted units that already exist. How much the new housing will ease the strain on renters is unknown at the moment. Only time will tell as market forces dictate a renter’s monthly burden. “We need to have good paying jobs for millennials,” Spring said. “If they work in the tech industry, and have two incomes, they should be ok. But if they’re students, or just starting their first job, they will struggle. If you look at the traffic, many of them aren’t stopping here. They’re going to Gilroy or Los Banos to live. I wish we had an answer, but we only have a limited number of units to work with.”

Steve Tate gives State of City address 2018 CHALLENGES INCLUDE POLICE STAFFING, ROAD MAINTENANCE Nicholas Preciado Reporter
Morgan Hill Mayor Steve Tate last Thursday gave the annual “State of the City” address to a modest crowd in the council chambers, where he touched on accomplishments from last year and upcoming challenges in the year ahead. “Without a doubt, the top of the list are these two ladies,” Tate said as his presentation showed pictures of City Manager Christina Turner and Councilwoman Caitlin Robinett Jachimowicz. “The council had to appoint a replacement for (former Councilman) Gordon Siebert, who moved out of town, and we had the good fortune to

A tool known as the Pavement Condition Index that rates roads on a scale of 1 to 100 found that the average condition of Morgan Hill streets in 2017 was 72, considered “good.” Yet by 2021, the pavement condition index is projected to drop down to 67, or “fair,” with current spending. The city will need an additional $1.5 million to $2 million a year to maintain a condition of “good.” “Our pavement is at the low end of being good,” Tate said. “We need additional funding. Just to maintain a pavement condition index of 72, we need another $1.5 million a year to get there. What this shows is we are going to go into this budget cycle and we are going to be faced with problems of police staffing and infrastructure.” Morgan Hill is not alone in its struggle to maintain decentquality roads. San Benito
County as a whole has a current pavement condition index of 38, considered “poor,” and it would cost an estimated $398 million to repair all roads in the county. “We project that general fund expenses will exceed revenues and reserves” in Morgan Hill, Tate said. “Looking at things like what I showed you, we need a new revenue source.” The mayor indicated that the city would be considering placing a possible tax ballot measure before local voters in order to make up the difference in finances. “We want to have the conversation with you and all of our voters in the city to figure out how do we structure that. We have done it before, it has not been successful. If we do it this time, we want to make sure it is successful. Either that or not do it.”
New water pipeline project underway THREE-PHASE PROJECT WILL RUN THROUGH JULY 2019 Scott Forstner Reporter
The Santa Clara Valley Water District broke ground earlier this year on the Main Avenue and Madrone Pipeline Restoration Project, according to district staff. The large infrastructure project will install approximately 2.7 miles of raw water pipeline to improve groundwater replenishment in South County.
The new pipeline will carry water from Anderson Reservoir to the Main Avenue Perc Ponds and Madrone Channel, where the raw water will slowly seep into the district's groundwater supplies. The project, which is located between the Cochrane Road, East Main Avenue and Half Road public rights-of-way, is estimated to be completed in July 2019. There will be traffic delays in those areas during construction. “This project will be constructed in three phases to minimize impacts to existing groundwater recharge operations and lessen impacts to the community,” according to the SCVWD’s
January newsletter. “Installing the new pipeline system and related facilities will help ensure a safe, reliable water delivery system for Morgan Hill residents.” Local residents will be informed of any constructionrelated schedule and traffic impacts throughout the project. Construction hours will be from 8am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday, according to staff. Phase 1 is ongoing; Phase 2 is expected to begin in late June; and Phase 3 is slated to start in early November (See map). SCVWD staff intend to send project reminders with details
and other critical information as they complete each phase and prepare for the next. Morgan Hill residents get 100 percent of their drinking water from local groundwater sources. This project will help ensure a reliable water supply for South County by restoring existing infrastructure to refill the Llagas groundwater basin, spanning across Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy, according to SCWD staff. During construction of phase 1, motorists should use Peet Road to bypass construction on Cochrane Road between Half Road and Cochrane Road.
Motorists should use Elm Avenue to bypass construction on Cochrane Road between Half Road and East Main Avenue. The project is estimated to cost approximately $17.7 million. It is partially funded ($6.3 million) by the voter-approved Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program. The remaining $11.4 million comes from the district’s Water Utility Enterprise Fund, which consists in large part from groundwater and treated water charges.

Strong season CONNECTING Sobrato High junior Olivia Adams (2) makes a pass to teammate Jessica Gonzalez in a 4-0 loss to Mountain View Tuesday in a
Central Coast Section Open Division playoff semifinal at Milpitas High. The Bulldogs were coming off an impressive 1-0 win over Aptos in the quarters.
HISTORIC SOBRATO SEASON COMES TO AN END emanuel lee Sports Editor
“We were asking them to keep pushing forward, and that is one of the things Katie does really well,” Thomas said. “She pushes forward, got behind the defense and Olivia was there to put it away.” Adams said the team had to shake off a first half that was affected by a lack of free flowing play. “In the first half, our nerves got the best of us,” she said. “Our nerves were up obviously and we needed to be communicating more and play as a team. Our halftime talk really calmed us down, and we were able to unify and get the result we wanted.” The victory over Aptos was especially gratifying considering the team was coming off a 4-0 drubbing against Pioneer in the regular-season finale. However, Sobrato rebounded with one of its best performances of the season. “That Pioneer game was a tough loss,” Thomas said.

In the end, the Sobrato High girls soccer team ran into a buzzsaw in the form of a powerhouse Mountain View squad. The Bulldogs saw their season end against the Spartans Tuesday in the form of a 4-0 drubbing against the Spartans in a Central Coast Section Open Division playoff semifinal at Milpitas High. Despite the loss, Sobrato has plenty to be proud of. The Bulldogs finished 12-3-6 and qualified for the top division in the postseason. Their 1-0 win over Aptos last Saturday in
the quarterfinals was historic in that it gave them their first-ever victory in the Open Division format. “It was a big-time win against a really good team,” Sobrato coach Ted Thomas said. “Aptos is a phenomenal side, and to be able to walk away with a 1-0 win is huge for us.” Olivia Adams scored the only goal of the match when she streaked in to drill home a rebound off the shot of teammate Katie Somavia in the 52nd minute. “I just calmed myself, took my time to look at the ball and saw the corner was open,” said Adams, a junior center midfielder. “It was a matter of racing to the ball and getting to it first.” Sobrato hadn’t generated many scoring opportunities until a torrid 10-minute stretch early in the second half that saw it change the outcome of the match.

Rottenborn played an instrumental role in shutting down Aptos. The Mariners had a handful of great scoring chances in the first half, only to be stifled for the most part in the final 40 minutes.

Torres reaches CCS 106-pound finals emanuel lee Sports Editor
That’s exactly what Torres did in the semifinals against Palma’s Zach Thompson, who had easily handled Torres 11-2 earlier in the season at the Overfelt Tournament. However, Torres was intent on getting payback. With the match tied at 2-2 late in the third period, Torres got Thompson on his back for a pin with one second remaining. Had Torres not gotten the pin, he would’ve won 5-2, having accumulated three points for a near fall. “I trained a lot for the Palma guy because I knew I would see him in the semifinals, and he would be my obstacle to get to the finals,” Torres said. “Going into the match, my head was on straight and I was confident I would come away with the win.” Torres has had a terrific season, including winning

Javier Torres entered the Central Coast Section Wrestling Championships intent on taking home a title in the 106-pound weight class. Even though the Live Oak High junior finished second, he still had plenty of reasons to feel proud about his performance. Quite simply, Torres delivered another machine-like effort en route to the finals, coming up with three pins before running up against a buzzsaw in Gilroy freshman sensation Jayden Gomez in the championship match. “I’m very happy I made it as far as I did, but I was pretty disappointed I came up short in the finals,” said Torres, who dropped an 8-1 decision. “I really wanted to become a CCS champ, but I’m happy
I’ll be going to state.” The CIF State Championships start on Friday at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield. Torres will go in unseeded, which suits him just fine. “I’m going to wrestle like I have nothing to lose because I don’t,” he said. “I know state is another monster, but I hope to take a state title and finish first there.” Torres realized he’ll need to improve his bottom game to beat Gomez should the two meet again this year or next season. Gomez was able to ride Torres to the ground and spent a lot of time on top against Torres, who uses losses to learn, improve and motivate himself to train harder and smarter. “I try to learn a lot from my matches and improve on everything I did wrong,” he said.

a Blossom Valley League championship in dominating fashion. He’s shown tremendous improvement in both his physical and mental game, and he can’t
wait to take his game to another level this off-seaspon. It’s worth noting that Torres went 1-2 in the CCS Championships last year. The improvement
he’s made in 12 months has him poised for even greater things next season. “Next year I’m planning to take CCS,” he said. “And state.”

Live Oak’s valiant effort not enough ACORNS MAKE A GAME OF IT AGAINST A FORMIDABLE APTOS TEAM IN THE CENTRAL COAST SECTION PLAYOFFS emanuel lee Sports Editor
Simply amazing
“Grace is an amazing player,” Kiefer said. “What she does on the floor says it all. She’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever had a privilege to coach.” Kiefer was also effusive in his praise for O’connell, who earned First Team All League honors. “Cameron is like a little firecracker,” he said. “She was an amazing player who did it on both ends of the court.” Live Oak was facing a huge height disadvantage against Aptos, which had at least a 4 to 5 inch height advantage at nearly every position. However, that’s made the Acorns’ performance all the more impressive. Marisa Chu, a 5-foot-2 senior, always provided inspiring play. “Marisa has had a rough ride the last three years and was able to provide some amazing minutes in critical situations,” Kiefer said. “She’s probably

Moments after Grace Smith made a long 3-pointer from the left wing just before the halftime buzzer, Live Oak High girls basketball coach Mike Kiefer jumped up before pumping his fist. The longtime Acorns coach was so excited his right hand nearly hit the floor. Kiefer had good reason to be jubilant, as Live Oak would take a twopoint lead into the intermission against host and No. 2 seed Aptos. However, the Mariners’ superior height and length took over in the second half, preventing Live Oak from continuing a season that was by all accounts memorable and successful. The No. 10 seed Acorns lost 66-54 last Saturday in a Central Coast Section Division III playoff quarterfinal. “We gave it a hard fight for four quarters,” said Kiefer, who completed his ninth season as the Live Oak coach. “That’s all you can ask for, and they’ve done that all season long.” Smith had a team-high 21 points and Cameron O’connell had 11 points for the Acorns, who finished a 21-6 campaign that included winning the Blossom Valley League’s Santa Teresa East Division championship. According to Kiefer, Smith and O’connell will go down as two of the greatest leaders
in program history. “They will go down in history as the winningest duo to play four years of varsity basketball I believe,” Kiefer said. “They are two of the best leaders I’ve ever been around. The bond and sisterhood the team had was because of the example they set. Their personalities are so infectious, and I will truly, truly miss them.” Smith, who earned the BVAL’s Santa Teresa East Division Co-MVP award, played an all-around game and helped her teammates play at a higher level. She was an extension of Kiefer on the court, often directing her teammates offensively.
RUNNER Live Oak High junior Adrianne Gomez, seen here in earlier action this season, was a steadying presence all season. The Acorns finished 21-6, won the Blossom Valley League’s Santa Teresa East Division and made the CCS quarterfinals. sacrificed her body the most, and that is what her teammates like about her, is how much she leaves on the floor every night.” Jennifer Poonia, a 5-8 senior forward, also played a vital role in the team’s success. “We wouldn’t be here without her,” Kiefer said. “She’s been a strong rebounder and blocked shots at critical times in the last few games.” Kiefer noted Smith, O’connell, Chu and Poonia have left a lasting mark on the program, which despite graduating the quartet will have a solid

nucleus coming back next season, led by Adrianne Gomez and Raegan Kirk, who had a terrific freshman season. Kirk started 27 games, the most ever by a freshman since Kiefer has been the coach. “She plays both ends of the court, is long, lanky, and continues to grow and has become better and better,” said Kiefer, who also noted Gomez earned First Team All Division honors. The Acorns will also return post Anabela Stewart, who provides the team with some height and physical play inside. With Stewart, Gomez and
Kirk returning, along with some expected newcomers who should make an impact, Kiefer sees no reason why the team can’t return to the playoffs and make another solid run. One thing is for certain: In order for that to happen, the team must have the camaraderie that this year’s squad displayed. “What I’ll remember most about the team is their bond,” Kiefer said. “(As a coaching staff ) we preach bond, sisterhood and togetherness all season, and this team took it to another level. Stuff that happened on the court
was great, but I’ll remember the practices, them sitting around and being goofy like the young teenage girls they are. I’ll miss them talking about game days and going out to breakfast or doing things together on the weekend. Those are the things that I’ll remember.” Live Oak also proved to be proficient in the classroom, compiling a team 3.769 GPA, good for third best out of 125 programs in the section. Now that’s getting things done on and off the court. On or off the court,the Live Oak players were high achievers.

OBITUARIES HORACE WESLEY FABING December 6 1925 - February 18, 2018
H
orace Wesley Fabing passed away peacefully in the company of his family on Sunday February 18, 2018 at the age of 92. Horace was born on December 6, 1925 to Oscar and Emma Fabing in Gilroy, CA.
Horace was a fourth-generation Californian. While his service in the Merchant Marine and US Navy took him to destinations along the west coast and throughout the Pacific, Gilroy was the center of his orbit. As a boy, Horace grew up watching the freight trains go through Gilroy and San Jose, and he knew their schedule and isms just as well as his own. He believed his love of trains began when his father told him that if he would wave to the train crew (at the time, to Horace, a tough bunch of guys) that they would wave back. His father would speed up or slow down their car to “chase” the trains, so Horace could wave, and most often, the crew would wave back. Horace graduated from Gilroy High School and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He married his wife, Nan Fabing on October 5, 1951 and together they built their home in Gilroy and raised their two children, Cindee Ann and Frank Wesley. Horace worked at Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Moss Landing Power Plant for 36 years. After his retirement in 1986, his hobbies took on new life. He would travel with his speeder car and those of his friends to ride railroads around California and as far as Colorado, or ride his 7-1/2 inch gauge trains at the Portola Valley and Alpine RR. He built a garden railroad in his backyard that was for many years included as one of the stops on the Bay Area Garden Railway Society’s annual tour. Horace enjoyed traveling the country and even in his 91st year, went on a road trip to visit his granddaughter in Seattle. An author, historian, and preservationist, Horace was a story-teller with a depth to his memory that could rival any stack of encyclopedias. He gave back to his community by volunteering at the Gilroy Museum. He wrote several articles on local railroad history for The Western Railroader and authored Steinbeck Country Narrow Gauge, a book which tells the story of Claus Spreckels and the Pajaro Valley Consolidated Railroad and how the narrow gauge railway helped shape the central coast communities. Horace was an endlessly patient, kind, and ever-present fixture in our lives. He will be missed by his wife of sixty-six years, Nan, his children, Cindee Sorensen (Gary) and Frank Fabing (Dennis), and his two grandchildren, Scott Sorensen (Yvette) and Emily Sorensen. Our family would like to thank Aida Davis for being an unwavering caregiver and good friend to Horace. Horace was preceded in death by his sister, Orvalee Seadler, and brother, Robert Fabing. Celebration of life will be held at the family home on April 28, 2018 from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Memorials in Horace’s name may be made to the Gilroy Historical Society, P.O. Box 1621, Gilroy, CA 95021; or the Lompoc Valley Historical Society, P.O. Box 88, Lompoc, CA 93438.

R
aymond Domingo Trevino, 79, a longtime resident of Gilroy and Hollister, passed away on February 16, 2018 at the Veteran’s Home of California in Yountville. Ray was born on April 24, 1938 in Bakersfield to Ramon Trevino and Margaret Contreras Trevino. He attended East Bakersfield High School before joining the US Army. After his service, he began a thirty-year career in the jewelry business, working in Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose, before opening his own businesses in Gilroy, Trevino Jewelers and Ray’s Jewel Box. After retiring from the jewelry business, he enjoyed cooking with his Gourmet Alley friends and catering special events. He also worked as a cook and enjoyed mentoring at the James Boys Ranch in Morgan Hill. In later years, Ray lost his sight, but that did not stop him from living life to its fullest. He loved music, dancing, singing, fishing, and playing golf and poker. Ray was the first blind golfer to play in the National Veterans Golden Age Games competing against sighted players for several years beginning in 2007 and winning gold one year. He and his beloved guide dog Thorn moved to the Veterans Home in 2010. Ray returned to the Golden Age Games in 2012, traveling to St Louis where he took gold in bowling and shuffleboard, and silver in horseshoes and golf, the highest medal count ever for a visually impaired athlete. Ray is survived by siblings Maria Garza, Linda Trevino and Victor (Norma) Trevino of Bakersfield, and Robert Trevino of Glendora; son Michael (Lori) Trevino of Kensington; daughters Ramona Trevino and Cecilia (Mark) Andrade of Hollister; grandchildren Vanessa (Everett) Yniguez, Kristine Padilla, and Raymond Andrade of Hollister; Carly Andrade of Davis; and Liliana and Carina Trevino of Kensington; and great grandchildren Ali and Isaiah Yniguez, and Jayla and Jocelyn Jones.

O
ur Mother, Shirley Brem, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2018 at Brandel Manor in Turlock surrounded by her family. She was born in Salinas to Charles Phillips and Delmira Monteiro. In 1953, she married Richard Brem and they were married for over 62 year until he passed away in September 2017.
Mom is survived by three children, Mike (Tina), Nancy (Nick) and Jim (Pam). She has five grandchildren, Jason, Jeff, Ryan, Kyle and Tyson. She also had five great grandchildren, Cali, Jack, Layne, Everett and Clark. She is also survived by her sister, Patricia Bettencourt. Mom was the most dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother a person could have. She took great care of Dad until the end and her family was her biggest priority. Mom was a great cook and loved to bake. We will miss her Christmas cakes and cookies. She also loved to sew and many have one of her quilts. In keeping with Mom’s wishes, there were no services. We suspect she is already tending to Dad who has been waiting impatiently for her.

NOTICE INVITING BIDS
NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-17-797714-BF Order No.: NXCA-0275592 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/17/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Abraham M. Andrade, Jr., a married man as his sole and separate property Recorded: 6/29/2005 as Instrument No. 18445209 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SANTA CLARA County, California; Date of Sale: 3/9/2018 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Gated North Market Street entrance of the Superior Courthouse, 191 N. First Street, San Jose, CA 95113 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $851,918.90 The purported property address is: 13765 HARDING AVENUE, SAN MARTIN, CA 95046 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 779-07-037 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17-797714-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
