DEBT FORCES BOOKSMART TO ANNOUNCE IT IS CLOSING Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Scott Hinrichs

The final chapter of BookSmart may soon be written.

Citing mounting debt following a move from downtown Morgan Hill to East Dunne Avenue, BookSmart owners Brad Jones and Cinda Meister face the imminent closure of their Morgan Hill mainstay.

“It’s heartbreaking,” Meister said. “This is our passion, to be part of the community and to support literacy and the arts. It’s a safe place for the community to gather. It’s much more than a bookstore.”

Friday afternoon, the day after Jones and Meister announced the news of their store closing via email, aggrieved longtime customers came forward to pay their condolences.

“A lot of our regulars have come forward asking what they can do,” Jones said.

For the first time in its 14-year history, the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival has added a

second location, expanding into two buildings in downtown Gilroy.

The Granada Theater, the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse and the Grange Hall in Morgan Hill, will continue to host the bulk of the four-day festival.

Festival President Mattie Scariot is hoping for significant attendance increases from the expansion of the venues for the

April 5-8 event. Her goal of 3,000 tickets is three times the previous festival high of 1,000 tickets in the 2004 inaugural year.

The increased ticket sales could be a boost for local downtown restaurants and bars in downtown Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

“We expect the festival to have a big impact on local restaurants,” Scariot said. “We will not serve

food at the event, so people will need to go out for lunch and dinner. I think it will create a lot of economic vitality for those restaurants.”

For Scariot, the high expectations are following on the heels of several years of dropping ticket sales. Ticket sales have ranged within the hundreds, and the festival's weakest showing in 2016 at Gavilan College

in recent memory. To help right the ship, Scariot has led a serious of changes to how the festival is marketed.

“We’re doing a lot of things differently,” Scariot said. “We changed our branding, our logo, the website, and we added new programs to appeal to more people. We want to get filmmakers from ➝ Poppy Jasper, 14

Swing named president of Chiefs Association CPCA REPRESENTS STATE’S POLICE CHIEFS Staff report

Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing was sworn in March 21 as President of the California Police Chiefs Association, which represents the state’s municipal police chiefs whose agencies serve more than 26 million Californians.

Swing, whose law enforcement career spans the last 23 years— all at MHPD—has been involved in the CPCA in various roles over the last seven years.

“One of the benefits (of this involvement) is the opportunity to network and build relationships in law enforcement throughout the state,” Swing said. “As president, I will further expand and strengthen those relationships.”

Swing was sworn in for a one-year term as president at the association’s 41st annual Training Symposium, at the Westin Hotel in Long Beach.

Swing has been chief of police in Morgan Hill since 2011. His law enforcement career began as a reserve officer at MHPD in 1995.

He was appointed to the CPCA’s board of directors in 2013, and was elected second vice president of the board in 2016, according to a press release from MHPD. Swing has also chaired the association’s Law and Legislation, and

According to the owner of the San Martin Pumpkin Park, rumors that the land there has been sold are untrue, and they have no plans to close the popular seasonal destination.

“I’ve had friends and family ask me if we’re going to sell it—it’s become quite a stir,” Uesugi Farms General Manager Pete Aiello said. “We’re not going anywhere. We’ve been here a long time, and we hope to be here a lot longer. We know it’s an important piece of the

community and if not for Pumpkin Park, people wouldn’t know about Uesugi Farms.”

Uesugi Farms has owned the property where Pumpkin Park sits since 2014 along with Rocke Garcia, President of Glenrock Builders. Recently, the Aiello's sold their interest in half of 16 acres of farmland that's adjacent to Olive Avenue in San Martin to Garcia.

“That land is not part of Pumpkin Park, and we've been growing vegetables there since 1979,” Pete Aiello said.

Garcia did not return multiple calls requesting comment.

Pumpkin Park, located at 14485 Monterey

Road in San Martin, is a 60-acre local fall family fun park, which features a corn maze, train rides, hayrides, a petting zoo, pony rides and, of course, pumpkins. It’s also home to the annual Giant Pumpkin WeighOff, where contestants vie for a $25,000 grand prize. In 2013, the contest hosted a then world record 2,032-pound pumpkin.

Pumpkin Park has been a family run business since 1985, owned and operated by the Aiello family. According to Pumpkin Park's website, Pumpkin Park draws over 100,000 people each fall, starting when the park opens Oct. 1.

Student earns chance to study at Harvard EMMA SQUIRES RAISING FUNDS TO MAKE SUMMER PROGRAM POSSIBLE Staff report

Live Oak High School sophomore Emma Squires has the chance of a lifetime after being accepted to Harvard University’s Secondary School Program, a summer event where she will be able to earn college credits from the Ivy League institution.

The 15-year-old Squires plans to enroll in two fourunit college courses— Law and Psychology and

Financial Accounting— which allows her the ability to earn eight college credits from Harvard.

Squires, who turns 16 in May, was contacted for this program after scoring a 1470 out of 1520 on her PSATs. She maintains a 4.33 GPA at Live Oak High School. She was also accepted to a similar program at Stanford; however, she chose Harvard due to the greater amount of class options and areas of study, specifically the Law and Psychology class. She is planning on a double major in Psychology and Accounting as an undergraduate and then pursuing law school with the goal of becoming a Special Agent in Criminal Investigations with the FBI.

While Squires received a partial scholarship to attend Harvard, she is still in need of raising about $6,500 to fund her trip. Her mother, Catherine Squires, has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise the necessary funds for her daughter: gofundme.com/ help-emma-go-to-harvard-this-summer.

“It would be amazing if our community could help her to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity to be taking classes with current Harvard undergraduates as a high school student,” said Catherine Squires, a 1993 LOHS alumna. “She has a brilliant mind and I am incredibly proud of her.”

Cree acquires Infineon’s Morgan Hill plant EXISTING EMPLOYEES NOT EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTED Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Significant assets belonging to Infineon Technologies, including a plant in Morgan Hill, has been sold to Cree Inc. for $428 million on Mar. 6, a move made by Cree to expand its 5G wireless market. The sale will not include Infineon's Chip Card and Security operations in Morgan Hill. Cree plans to merge the new acquisition

with their Wolfspeed radio frequency division.

Infineon, which produces chips, sensors and microcontrollers, is a leader in wireless technology. With the acquisition, Cree hopes to bolster its transition to 5G cellular technology.

“The acquisition strengthens Wolfspeed’s leadership position in RF GaN-on-SiC technologies and provides access to additional markets, customers and packaging expertise,” said Cree CEO Gregg Lowe in a press release. “This is a key element of Cree’s growth strategy and positions Wolfspeed to enable faster

4G networks and the revolutionary transition to 5G.” Infineon’s products are also used in self-driving cars.

Between Infineon's operations in Morgan Hill, North Carolina, and Arizona, Infineon has about 260 employees. Worldwide, the Neubiberg, Germany based Infineon Technologies AG employs over 30,000 employees.

As part of the deal, Cree intends to hire the approximately 260 employees in the US locations of Morgan Hill and Chandler, Arizona, as well as in Finland, Sweden, China and South Korea. While the

company has built in a transitional period, the former employees of Infineon will become part of Cree Wolfspeed.

“Cree is a strong new owner for this portion of our Radio Frequency business and has an excellent reputation in the industry,” Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon said in a press release. “We are excited about the business rationale and the prospects for the combined businesses. At the same time, we will be able to focus our resources more effectively on Infineon’s strategic growth areas and will retain a strong

technology portfolio for the wireless market.”

Included in the sale is the main packaging and test operations facility in Morgan Hill, existing intellectual property, and existing customers.

With the acquisition, Cree expects to increase annual revenues by $115 million.

“We are looking forward to combining our strengths with Cree,” said Gerhard Wolf, Vice President, and General Manager, RF Power Products at Infineon. “With our highly skilled and dedicated team, advanced technologies and commitment to business excellence, we look forward to serving

our customers seamlessly as the 5G mobile standard ramps up.”

5G technology is the successor the 4G mobile wireless data technology, and it promises faster internet speed. As the type of information that's conveyed via the internet becomes more complex, 5G technology will be better able to handle the huge amounts of data that are needed. As the technology behind autonomous cars advances, the evolution of 5G technology becomes more important.

Cree is a Durham North Carolina manufacturer of LED lighting and power components.

Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program The Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water) is a voter-approved, 15-year program to implement the community’s priorities for the present and future water resources of Santa Clara County.

Notice of Public Hearing What:

Public Hearing on Proposed Modifications to the Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program and the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project

When:

April 10, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.

Where:

District Headquarters, Board Room 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA 95118

Modifications to the voter-approved program require a public hearing.

Two changes are currently proposed.

Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection (Coyote Creek to Dorel Drive – San José) The proposed modification is for Project E4, the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project. The primary objective of the project is to reduce the risk of flooding to homes, schools, businesses and highways in the Upper Penitencia Creek Watershed located in San José.

The proposed modification would reduce the scope of the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project to the planning phase only through FY19, and would reallocate the remaining funds to complete flood risk reduction along 9 miles of Coyote Creek, from Montague Expressway to Tully Road.

The proposed modification would address the urgent demand for flood risk reduction along Coyote Creek. Completing the planning phase for the Upper Penitencia Creek Flood Protection Project would position the District to be able to pursue additional funding for design and construction in the future as grant opportunities and other funding sources may become available.

Proposed modification to the Key Performance Indicators: 1. Complete a planning study report for a flood protection project to provide up to 1% flood protection to 9,000 homes, businesses and public buildings.

Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program The proposed modification is for Project A2, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) #3, the Nitrate Treatment System Rebate Program (Nitrate Rebate Program).

The Nitrate Rebate Program provides funds to reimburse private well users for the costs of installing a nitrate treatment system to improve water quality and safety.

The proposed modification will reduce the maximum program funding to align with the demand for the Nitrate Rebate Program. This reduced program funding level includes the funds spent to date to develop, administer and advertise the program, along with an annual amount of $4,000 prospectively, which will be used for rebates through the project’s completion date of 2023.

This will help ensure continued assistance for well users that want to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce nitrate levels in their drinking water.

The remaining funds would be reallocated to another project within the Safe, Clean Water Program.

Proposed modification to Key Performance Indicator #3: Reduce number of private well water users exposed to nitrate above drinking water standards by awarding 100% of eligible rebate requests for the installation of nitrate removal systems; up to $30,000 for all rebates.

OPINION LETTERS Traffic poised to get worse in Morgan Hill After reading about the proposed development at the corner of Watsonville Road and Santa Teresa Boulevard, I am concerned with the additional amount of traffic that will have to deal with the four-way stop.

It already can be quite a mess during commute times, with more and more people using Santa Teresa Boulevard as an alternate route south (thank you Waze, the app), which sends people all through the back roads to avoid traffic.

Will the city force the developer to improve the roads around their development? This should be part of any development and the developer should foot the bill, not us taxpayers.

The traffic around Morgan Hill has gotten orders of magnitude worse in the last three to four years, and if we don't get a handle on it, things are going to get ugly.

Information is power in mass shooting era

I

n 2003, I started a company that evolved into what we named “PlanReady.” As a school architect following the Columbine massacre in 1999, I realized that much of the information that the first responders, police and fire—and the school itself—should have had at their fingertips was unavailable to them.

Architectural plans, which might be available to public safety officials, are not helpful in an emergency as they are created for the purpose of building the structure and for that reason only. For example, site plans don’t typically have the floor plans overlayed so there is no clear illustration of the connection between site access and actual building configuration. There is nothing in architectural blueprints that identifies a main entry door or additional doors to the exterior, much less what they look like and how they are accessed.

The drawing room numbers are not the same. For example, it might be labeled Classroom 15 at the school and could be room 140 on the plans. This is a disconnect that could waste valuable time as responders try to decipher the plans when responding to an emergency.

All of this disinformation, combined with a lack of access to these marginally helpful plans, creates a black hole of how to act strategically in an emergency.

In the early 2000’s, Columbine was a one-off. Thus, the program that we developed with a staff of five software developers was viewed as a “nice to have,” but it generated little interest from venture capitalists who were focused on social media millions.

The program—a software-as-service model designed in dot-net—made it easy for any school, business or city to upload, overlay and configure building plans simply. It included

special log-in views that included drag and drop icons that identified location, photos and instructions based on roles with the most important information available immediately, depending on the type of emergency at login.

For firefighters, all hose connections, fire alarms and identifying information of rooms, egress and structural concerns were identified. For police, camera locations and feeds as well room names, numbers, exits and lockdown information were available quickly and could be shared with other jurisdictions, throughout the local station, inside patrol cars and at the site—allowing for collaboration and rapid response.

School officials, city staff or business owners could log in at the same time as the first responders, providing additional necessary information.

In 2008, we put San Francisco City Hall up on PlanReady as a test, with many more buildings lined up to follow. But the recession hit and so went our ability to execute.

We are now in a new era where school shootings like the massacre at Columbine have become commonplace. Our built environment is still a question mark, with each project unique as to even something as simple as the locations of the electrical shutoffs. We need information about the building, how a campus functions and how to strategically manage an emergency.

Information is power. Does anyone want to pick up where we left off and do something to keep students, staff and first responders safe and more informed??

This statement is so true. The fields are in terrible shape. But maybe now MHUSD will put some effort in keeping up the fields. Not just mow them.

Or do they just collect the money and put the money in other places? Only time will tell.

“Grandfather’s hunting rifle” was probably a .308, 30-06, or .300 magnum. It could have been bolt action, but was just as likely to have been semiautomatic military surplus. All of which have considerably more killing power than an AR-15. You claim tobe a vet to to garner “authority” of what you speak, yet little of what you said was actually true.

The “gathering” places you speak of, many have armed security. We even have banks in town with armed guards pacing the front of the building. I don’t know if armed teachers are an option. But just like the bank, if I am going to rob one, will I pick the bank with the armed guard? Or a bank without one?

Board approves adjusted facility fees SPIRIT, PONY RECEIVE CREDIT FOR HISTORY OF FIELD INVESTMENTS Scott Forstner Reporter

feel that the rates you’re asking are commensurate with the quality of the fields we’re receiving, and if that’s going to change we’d like to know what you are going to be putting into it.”

The district’s plan includes a three-year incremental pay structure from 40 percent of the overall increase the first year, to 70 percent the second year, to full cost by the third year.

However, the rates were reduced from the initial proposal back in December 2017. In addition, the rates provide a 50 percent discount for nonprofits, an additional 25 percent discount “for organizations that have constructed and continue to maintain playfields via the in-kind policy,” according to the district report. The plan recommended by district staff and approved by the board march 20 also included “pre-approved in-kind work to offset the facility use fees.”

While Hoffman described the in-kind payback and future field investments as “a win-win for our partnership,” she was skeptical of the district’s intent on improving the fields used by OVToros.

“In three years’ time, I understand it’s incrementally, we will be paying roughly the same, if not more than, what we pay currently at the Outdoor Sports Complex, and there we have lights and turf,” said Hoffman, adding that if the new fee structure was approved that OVToros would be “forced to re-evaluate how often we use (district) fields and may go elsewhere.”

Before the board’s approval, Patterson asked district staff to confirm the

Robert Eliason

With two of the three largest youth sports organizations fully on board after working out a credit line for past field enhancements and maintenance, Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Board of Trustees approved an updated fee structure for reserving fields at a March 20 meeting.

“It took several working sessions with lots and lots of homework in-between for us to get where we are today,” said Spirit of MH Softball President Tom Evans, also a Morgan Hill Pony Baseball alumnus, in an email he sent to his participating families.

“In the end, the field use rates for Spirit and Pony will not be going up if we continue to maintain the fields to the high standards that we set for ourselves.”

Evans’ message came in stark contrast to a Jan. 23 school board meeting, where Spirit and Pony members voiced heartfelt opposition to the district’s proposal that shifted from a daily to an hourly rate for facility usage by area sports organizations.

Teams had previously been paying a $15 daily rate to reserve district fields.

The five school board trustees who cast votes on the new pay scale (Mary Patterson, Gino Borgioli, Donna Ruebusch, David Gerard and Ron Woolf) were in agreement that the restructured deal was mutually beneficial to the district, which

was looking to recoup maintenance and upkeep fees for its fields and establish an account to upgrade and replace facilities. Meanwhile, the local sports leagues wanted to keep their registration fees affordable to participating families. They also want to be fairly credited for years of field upgrades, which they financed, and field maintenance, which their volunteers have done over decades, according to the leagues’ representatives.

“I think (the fact that) we do not have 100 very concerned parents of studentathletes tonight in the room is evidence that the district has in good faith reached out and really tried to understand the specific concern,” said Gerard, who had previously been against any type of pay increase for local sports organizations wanting to use district fields for their practices and games.

Alicia Hoffman, a board member for Orchard Valley Toros Soccer (formerly Orchard Valley Youth Soccer League) who is also a parent and coach of a competitive team, was the lone speaker at Tuesday night’s meeting.

However, unlike Spirit and Pony that worked out in-kind agreements (credit for past services and monies used to enhance fields) to alleviate usage increases, Hoffman expressed concern on the impact for OVToros and its participating members.

“We do still have some concerns and do think the rates will still be a hardship for a lot of our families,” said Hoffman, who also wanted to know how the district planned to re-invest the additional funds into the facilities. “We just don’t

Pitcher Tarin Forbes, of the Athletics, delivers a pitch March 24 during a Morgan Hill Pony League baseball game against the Red Sox held at Britton Middle School. fee reductions from the initial proposal to the new rate structure. In doing so, it was demonstrated that a $19.57 per hour proposal for field use was lowered to $3.75 per hour at elementary and middle school sites and $12.64 at high school sites. Another example came for soccer practice fields, which went down from $16.14 per hour for a nonprofit in the December proposal to $5.39 per hour in the updated version.

“That’s a significant savings,” Patterson said.

Board President Tom

Arnett left the meeting early and was not present during the facilities vote, while Trustee Teresa Murillo recused herself from the vote due to a conflict of interest for being active in one of the impacted sports teams.

Along with the new pay rates, which go into effect beginning July 1 and then increase the following two years on the same date, all field reservations for district facilities are made through a third-party vendor called Facilitron.

The online facility rental

software platform allows sports clubs to make reservations for MHUSD fields through the online booking agent instead of going through the athletic director or representative at each individual site. The district’s contract with Facilitron stipulates that “the facility user will be charged a service fee of 5 percent of their use fee and the district will pay 5 percent of the fee to Facilitron which will be deducted from the fees collected,” according to a district report.

from the Morgan Hill Taiko group Sandoshin Taiko and local ukulele players, LukeS, with the Library Ukulele Society of Morgan Hill.

“I think it’s sort of part of the flavor of Morgan Hill,” she said. “It’s a communityminded place. The musicians are a piece of that.”

This run earned wellneeded funds, but beyond that, Mandel wants to remind the community there are many ways to participate.

“The thing to keep in mind is there’s the registration, the corporate sponsorship and the individual donations,” she said. “We’re hoping that combination will still enable us to produce the same support.”

In all, the group will raise more than $50,000, said run director Pat Toombs. After paying permit fees to the city, the school and the county, they’ll have enough to

“We’ll be easily (able) to turn around 50K and put it back into the local community into our scholarships and various missions,” Toombs said.

Toombs highlighted the AAUW contributions to the community as one of the best parts of their work.

“We also do the community action groups,” she added. “Learning and Loving Education Center supplies for ESL classes, we did a mariachi music program for San Martin Gwinn Elementary School, and we also did the Discovery Council Center youth mentoring for elementary school students. Those are some of the local ways that we give back in addition to all the scholarships.”

Interested sponsors and prospective members can learn more at wildflowerrun.org.

Trash Bash as an ongoing community event.

Connie Ludewig, San Martin Chamber of Commerce membership chair, said the group of more that 85 volunteers gathered from local schools and organizations collected 4,000 pounds of trash including soiled baby diapers, a dead goat in a bag, and an undelivered package that was taken to the San Martin post office.

Ludewig praised the efforts of the community for all the people who showed their support for “The Jewel of South County—to protect our

Past run director and AAUW publicity chair Elizabeth Mandel said building community is one thing the AAUW has sought to reinforce over the four decades since the event began.

“Like adding a stroller event, adding a senior event,” Mandel said. “We do things that don’t give us as much profit—we gave out medals to all the 2K children runners.”

The Morgan Hill Photography Club, which Mandel said is very active in its support of local nonprofits, provided free photography services. Their photos are downloadable from the wildflowerrun. org website.

With the rains clear for much of the morning, the organizers were delighted with the energy of the crowd and the people who showed up to contribute.

“It warms my heart to know that there were community-minded folks from as far as San Jose, to San Juan Bautista who showed up, and collected at least two tons of trash from the San Martin roads and creeks,” said Ludewig.

Trina Hineser president of the San Martin Neighborhood Alliance and community liaison

for the San Martin Chamber of Commerce, said the community is passionate about efforts because San Martin has long been viewed as a dumping zone and residents are working hard to rebrand themselves as “The Jewel of South County.”

“Being active to beautify our area is one way the community is coming together to do that,” Hineser said. “We’ve seen the county step up and acknowledge the work we are doing. We’ve seen code enforcement more proactively addressing the concerns in our community.”

Olive’s Cleaning Service

Hineser said since the development of neighborhood alliance and the chamber, plus regular town hall meetings, the residents are more dedicated and energetic about their community.

By being proactive and providing information ahead of time and getting community involvement and offering solutions together, Hineser hopes to build a stronger community.

“We are gaining momentum and each time one more person is willing to pick something up,” Hineser said.

South County Marches For Our Lives MESSAGE CALLS FOR LEGISLATORS TO ACT ON STRICTER GUN LAWS Staff report

could also register to vote at the event.

On Feb. 14 in Parkland, Fla., a single shooter entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students, injuring many more. Shortly afterward, police arrested 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled from the high school. Cruz, who is alleged to have used a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle, has since been charged with multiple counts of murder.

This past weekend’s event followed another nationwide protest, a walkout by students across the country, with the same message of demanding stricter gun laws and honoring those lives lost or impacted due to gun violence.

Robert Eliason

Several hundred South County residents participated in a local “March For Our Lives” demonstration March 24 as they joined millions of Americans in similar marches throughout the nation to call for stricter gun laws as well as honor the victims of gun violence.

Two local groups, the Morgan Hill Federation of Teachers (MHFT) and Showing Up For Racial Justice South County (SURJ) co-organized the

event, which began early Saturday morning in downtown Morgan Hill.

Participants of all ages brought handmade signs with slogans calling attention to the gun violence that continues to permeate public arenas such as the Feb. 14 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.

The March 24 protest in Morgan Hill was part of a nationwide movement dreamed up by the survivors of the Parkland shooting.

Poppy Jasper brings films to MH, Gilroy Poppy Jasper, 1 outside of the community, but we also want to include those from within the community.”

In Morgan Hill and Gilroy the film festival will be centered downtown.

In Morgan Hill, the Granada, 17440 Monterey Road, will be the center of the festival screenings, with the Opening Gala on April 6. The Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, 17090 Monterey Road will open the festival April 5 with a Local Filmmakers Day, with selected films screened on April 6.

The Old Strand Theater in Gilroy, at 7588 Monterey Road, formally the Vix, will open its 5,000 square-foot-event space for a film screening room all day on Saturday, April 7.

A building at 7652 Monterey Road, formerly The District, will host a filmmaker’s lounge on that day, where music videos will be screened, and live bands will perform, followed by a midnight movie.

“Rather than scramble to find a new place, I have a building that is currently under negotiations to lease, so I donated the building

so we can keep the festival downtown,” said The District building owner Gary Walton. He was optimistic about the festival’s benefits for Gilroy.

“Obviously, if you have thousands of people here the restaurants and hotels will benefit,” Walton said.

“We’ll get the hotel tax dollars; some will shop at the outlet stores. In a broader sense, we’re looking to bring people into the community,” Walton added.

Aside from providing a home at his Granada Theater for the festival’s opening gala, and its closing awards

ceremony, owner Frank Léal has also assisted with the festival’s marketing.

“Frank Léal has been a tremendous help.,” Scariot said. “They are helping us to make radio and television commercials that are getting a lot of airplay on local airwaves. He’s a good person and a great supporter.”

Since the films will run late in the evening, Scariot believes that most festivalgoers will stay locally. The Holiday Inn Express in Morgan Hill is the official hotel of the festival. The Holiday Inn has donated 10 rooms to the

event for volunteers and visiting filmmakers.

“The Holiday Inn Express was a huge coup for us, nobody has ever done that before,” Scariot said.

They came to us saying they wanted to work with us.”

Two of the festival’s special guests include two notable Gilroyans who’ve made an impact in Hollywood.

Randy Spendlove, President of Paramount Music, and Emmy award-winning writer Kevin Rubio.

“In Gilroy, the city council has been very supportive,” Scariot said. “Fred Tovar wants to put forth

a proclamation to honor Spendlove and Rubio. Of course, Gary Walton has been a tremendous help.

I would give him another ‘Man of the Year Award.”

The Poppy Jasper International Film Festival is a 501 (3) c non-profit organization, and relies solely on about 60 volunteers.

The Poppy Jasper International Film Festival will be held from April 5 - 8 in downtown Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

Tickets and a complete festival schedule are available at pjiff.org.

MARCH 30, 2018

Beloved store failed to recover from move Booksmart, 1

BookSmart was also plagued by the cost of rent, which for them is about $7,500 a month. They said they are now five months behind on the rent.

More than a bookstore

BookSmart started as a small bookshop in downtown Morgan Hill. Jones and Meister branched out when they soon after added a toy store and a coffee shop to their book retail business.

When the opportunity came to move to a larger location, they decided to put all three ideas together into one place at the downtown shopping center known as Depot Center, on East Second Street.

“We bought an option to eventually own the property ourselves,” Jones said. “We paid more money up front so we could buy it later. Then, the economy changed and all the opportunities we had to purchase the property evaporated. We brought in some financial partners, but the city eventually bought the option on the property.”

Specifically, the city’s Redevelopment Agency purchased BookSmart’s option on their former downtown site in 2010 for $1.7 million. Even though the state shut down the RDA in 2011, state regulators allowed the City of Morgan Hill to keep the option, and later sell it to developer City Ventures in order to complete the RDA’s former vision of modern mixed-use, residential/commercial development on the former Depot Center property

and sites throughout the downtown.

The old 25,000-squarefoot Depot Center building, which had been a number of things in the past—including an egg plant—was also the home of several other local businesses, most of which also relocated out of the downtown neighborhood in 2016 before City Ventures demolished the structure.

BookSmart moved to its current, and likely final location in a newer commercial shopping center in east Morgan Hill, near the intersection of East Dunne Avenue and Condit Road.

According to Jones, BookSmart received no help during the move.

“The city helped the other tenants to move, but in the contract, we signed when we purchased the option to buy the building, we also waived our rights for future relocation,” Jones said.

After the move outside the downtown in 2016, BookSmart remained steadfast in its efforts to support community arts and culture. Jones and Meister formed the nonprofit BookSmart Community Advantage program, which has offered fun and educational workshops, art lessons, music classes and more, primarily geared toward children. Without a center of operation, the future of Community Advantage is uncertain and the foundation’s board are exploring other options.

As downtown Morgan Hill continues to ride a

Bryce Stoepfel

Morgan Hill’s independent bookstore, BookSmart has cultivated a loyal core of supporters. Last Friday, March 23 those customers were shocked to read an email sent by Jones and Meister announcing their decision to close.

“It is with heavy hearts we must announce our closing,” the message read.

“The move to our Dunne location was very costly— financed with high interest and short-term loans. Our effort to refinance this debt has been unsuccessful and therefore we are unable to pay our bills. Starting today, we are liquidating our merchandise to pay our vendors and taxes.”

The store’s owners estimate BookSmart will be closed within a month or month-and-a-half, unless they receive a sudden infusion of financing from a surprise source.

To finance their move in 2016 from downtown Morgan Hill to their current location at 1295 E. Dunne Ave., Jones and Meister ran up what would become a mountain of debt—$250,000 worth.

The move, which took almost five months, left a vacuum of revenue. It also broke up the spending habits of former customers who went elsewhere, said the owners. Along with the cost of prepping the new location, the ongoing expenses cut deeper and deeper into the store’s economic vitality. Eventually, it became too much to bear, and Jones and Meister said they were forced to bow to the economic reality.

A FINAL CHAPTER After 22 years of business, BookSmart co-owners Brad Jones and Cinda Meister have decided to close what has become a community landmark. wave of redevelopment and renewal, BookSmart owners feel they have been left high and dry.

“I was the president of the downtown association for years, and we really wanted the downtown to be something special, and right on the verge of that happening, we were out,” Jones said.

As the crisis loomed, Jones and Meister launched a Gofundme campaign in July which eventually raised $20,000. The also sought financial relief by applying for a loan from the Grow Morgan Hill Fund.

Despite support from the city council, their application was rejected since they’ve been operating at a financial loss for the last two years.

“It would take someone to help us refinance the loan. That would mean, $250,000 over 10 years so we could make the monthly payments,” Jones said. “Every payment we make now goes to service the debt and nothing more.”

Today, the old home of BookSmart is long gone.

The corner of Second Street and Depot Street is now a construction zone,

where City Ventures is building its project, consisting of commercial units on the ground floors and a number of “livework” residences upstairs.

And, while Morgan Hill leaps into the future, Jones and Meister will make a similar leap into the unknown.

“We don’t know what we’re going to do; we need to find jobs,” said Jones, who was scheduled for a hip replacement surgery at the hospital this week. “We put every penny we had in this, and we put other people’s money into it too. We need to pay them back.”

UP FOR AIR Clayton Sawyer, a Sobrato High senior, won the 100- and 200-yard freestyle events in dominating fashion in a three-way league meet against Branham and Live Oak on March 21. A two-time CCS qualifier in relay events, Sawyer has a goal to earn an individual qualifying time in the 100.

Peace of mind

With a sense of liberation and peace, Aliamus has been swimming well, as she took second place in both the 50 and 100 free while being a part of Sobrato’s victorious 200 free relay team— which included Jackson, Batey and Prim—in a three-way duel meet with Branham and Live Oak on March 21.

Other highlights include Batey winning the 200 and 500 free and the quartet of Batey, Prim, Molly Foster and Aziza Calvert winning the 400 free relay event. On the boys side, Clayton Sawyer won the 100 free by 5 seconds and the 200 free by 11 seconds; Jacob Hatch picked up a pair of impressive victories in the 100 back and 200 individual medley; and the team of Hatch, Sawyer, Stephen Parker and Kyle Nguyen won the 400 free relay race.

Sobrato also has a solid group of divers who have an excellent shot of qualifying to CCS, including Kylie Katsuyoshi, Grace Baker and Kelly Ann Lim. Sawyer takes great satisfaction in excelling in the 200 free, as it presents the biggest

Robert Eliason

For the majority of the talentladen swimmers in the Central Coast Section, their goal is pretty simple: hit a Central Coast Section-qualifying time. Sobrato High has a handful of swimmers who have already done just that, with the possibility of more to follow. On the girls side, the Bulldogs 400 free relay team of Helena Baty, Annie Ly, Kassidy Prim and Nina Aliamus hit the CCS qualifying time in the first meet of the season in early March.

Freshman sensation Ly has already qualified for the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke.

Aliamus, a senior, is close to qualifying in her best individual event, the 50-yard freestyle.

Just as important, Aliamus is enjoying the sport more than ever. After qualifying for the 50 free as a sophomore, Aliamus was disappointed to not be able to repeat that feat during her junior season.

“I expected to be better, so it brought my confidence down a little bit,” she said. “But junior year is known to be stressful, and I wasn’t going to as many practices as I should have been because swimming wasn’t a priority due to school work.

I feel a lot more confident this year because I’m more focused on swimming.”

Aliamus has learned to manage the anxiety that built up after trying to do many things at once. Granted, it’s hard for

high school students today to not take on too many things, as competition is greater than ever for college entry. But last year the pressure mounted and things started snowballing, leaving Aliamus in a less than desirable emotional state.

“I struggled a lot with taking on too many things and didn’t know how to handle it,” she said.

“No matter how much I took on, I never felt like it was enough or I was doing enough. But this year I feel like everything is under control. I’ve learned to manage my time and what to take on and what not to take on. I’ve learned to take a step back, and it’s making a huge difference.”

AIMING TO GO FAST Sobrato High’s Helena Batey dives into the pool in a three-way meet against Branham and Live Oak on March 21. Batey was part of the Bulldogs’ victorious 200-yard freestyle relay team. challenge for him both mentally and physically.

“It’s the hardest event for me, and I feel the happiest when I’m done with that event,” he said.

“It’s the hardest because it’s fairly long, but in order to be competitive you have to go all out almost the entire way. It’s hard to pace that race, but I feel over the years I’ve made the most progress in that event. That is why I tend to enjoy it the most.”

Sawyer is counting on producing faster times as the season goes along. A two-time

CCS qualifier in relay events, Sawyer—who also played four years of water polo and three seasons of soccer at Sobrato— has a goal to nail a CCS qualifying time in the 100 free. If that happens, it’ll likely come against fast competition.

“I normally get my best times when I’m under pressure,” he said. “Against people who are faster than me.

Aliamus and Sawyer have done wonders out of the pool as well. Aliamus has a cumulative 4.2 GPA, is the vice

president of the Random Acts of Kindness club on campus and takes pride in being a role model for her younger sister in the eighth grade.

“She pushes me to be a better person knowing she’s looking up to me,” said Aliamus, who has been accepted to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.

Sawyer plans on playing water polo at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo before transferring to a four-year university with the plan of becoming a mechanical engineer.

Acorns look to dig it early and often LIVE OAK HIGH BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM IN THE MIDST OF A REBUILDING PHASE, BUT COMPETITIVE AND EARNING WINS emanuel lee Sports Editor

Team chemistry

Villarreal tries to make sure the players are communicating constantly and picking each other up. Villarreal likes the team’s makeup, and hopes the camaraderie the players are developing will manifest to solid play on the court.

“What I see is the team is very passionate about wanting to play and wanting to learn,” he said. “We want to do better, and we’re finding that right balance of putting in the effort and having fun in the games. I feel with the passion and drive we have, we’re going to do well.”

Villarreal was cut from the team as a freshman, which motivated him to come back as a sophomore and play better than ever.

However, it was Villarreal’s inability to play football that has given him a great appreciation for life.

Robert Eliason

After winning just one game last year, the Live Oak High boys volleyball team has already doubled its win total this season. The Acorns are in the midst of rebuilding a program that doesn’t have the numbers to field a junior varsity team. Live Oak entered the week with a 2-4 record in the Blossom Valley League’s Santa Teresa Division, with a goal to become a consistent, competitive team.

So far, so good. The Acorns have two solid setters in sophomore Andrew Bergholz and junior Guiliano Sarlo, allowing Coleman to implement a different offense.

“This year we have two setters and we’re running a 6-2 (offense), so they’re learning because they’ve never done this rotation before,” Coleman said.

“Their sets are fine and we’re running quick sets, which we were not able to do last year.”

Coleman said the team’s strengths lies in its defense and serve-receive; however, Live Oak doesn’t have a ton of firepower.

“We’re trying to build up our confidence to hit hard without committing errors,” Coleman said.

The team’s two main outside hitters—junior Nick Sykes and senior Aaron Villarreal—both play excellent defense.

Sykes has been the team’s

most consistent hitter, while Cameron Chu—a senior libero who is in his first year of playing volleyball—has caught on quick.

“Cameron is running around all over the place,” Coleman said. “He’s aggressive and a talker, so it keeps the momentum going. Definitely one of my core players.”

Anthony Downer, a senior middle blocker who didn’t play last year, has also improved in every facet of the game. As the team captain, Villarreal plays a valuable role.

“Aaron is the backbone of the team,” Coleman said. “He has the nickname of Aztec Warrior, because he will fly all over the place. It doesn’t matter where the ball goes— he’ll get it.”

SERIOUS BUT HAVING FUN Live Oak High players Aaron Villarreal, Nick Sykes, Andrew Bergholz, Anthony Downer, Cameron Chu and Guiliano Sarlo have been key in the Acorns doubling their win total from last season.

Having grown up around uncles who were football fanatics, Villarreal was excited for football tryouts as a freshman.

However, Villarreal said he ended up getting irregular heartbeats after some of the workouts, making for a rather dangerous situation. It happened again his sophomore year, and

by Villarreal’s junior year he figured the time for him to play football had passed him by.

“I was devastated not being able to play football,” he said.

Villarreal has taken that pain and used it as a positive, as he puts

tremendous effort into volleyball. Villarreal loves the fact the team is a work in progress, knowing all of the steps are worthwhile.

Season highlights

“The highlight is we push each other so much and have been able to find our skills and consistently use them on the court,” he said.

Villarreal takes pride in being able to play every position; however, he admits being able to finish a point is the best reward.

“If you’re the last one to touch the ball and you get that point, it’s the greatest feeling,” he said.

Villarreal has been

accepted to Cal Lutheran University, and should he go there, he plans on taking a combination of psychology and criminal justice classes in his quest to one day become a crime scene detective for the FBI or NCIS. The goal came about, of course, after Villarreal started watching the TV show NCIS, which is his mom’s favorite show.

Villarreal has been fascinated with psychology after noticing the huge difference a person goes through mentally with oneself and with relationships with others from middle school to high school.

“I wanted to understand

how the mind works,” he said. “It’s a great asset to the job if you’re able to understand what each person is feeling and then dealing with them with that knowledge in hand.”

In addition to the aforementioned players, the roster includes Austin Lee, Ryan Wensmann, Jack Scotney-Castle, Samuele Ronchi, Tyler Wilte, Mitchell Reynolds, Kobe Nguyen, Andrew Gonzalez, Christopher Mendez, Landon Reynolds and Antonio DiFrancesco.

The Acorns played Lincoln High Wednesday and Gunderson High on Friday.

We continue to encourage lower water usage, which results in lower revenue for infrastructure upgrades and rehabilitation projects, and puts upward pressure on water rates in the near term. Over the long term, reduced water use per capita will reduce the need for long-term investments to secure new supplies, which will minimize rate increases in the future.

The water district is hosting a public hearing in Gilroy for residents to ask questions or comment on the proposed rates. This annual process creates a channel for transparency and ongoing well owner communication and engagement.

OBITUARIES LUPE STELLA YAMAMOTO October 13, 1954 - March 21, 2018

L

upe Rocha Yamamoto passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on March 21, 2018. Lupe was a Gilroy girl her whole life! She was a beautiful, loving and caring person who lived her life devoted to her family and God. She was a very giving person who would give you her last nickel if you needed it. As long as she had her family, she was fulfilled.

She took great pride in her children (Vanessa, Elliott, Janet and James), but her greatest joy was her grandson, Ethan. She so loved her mother (Catalina Rocha), brother {Henry Rocha, Jr (Suzann)} and sisters (Rosemary Rocha Zurlo (Richard), Bertie Rocha Cooke (Glen), Sylvia Rocha Bell (Rod)} and always let them know, in one way or another, with a ‘little something’. She leaves behind her niece and many nephews and great nephews.

She joins her heavenly family, her father (Henry Rocha, Sr), sister (Anna Rocha Taylor) and grandparents.

She will be greatly missed by her family and many, many extended family and friends.

April 4, 2018 – viewing - 2:00pm to 9:00pm and a Vigil service at 6:30pm at Habing Family Funeral Home.

April 5, 2018 – Mass 10am at St Mary’s Church.

Lupe loved to wear clothing that had beautiful colors, so please feel free to do the same.
