Melee brings Britton carnival to halt

EIGHT TEEN SUSPECTS KNEW EACH OTHER, HAVE HISTORY WITH POLICE Michael Moore Editor

➝ Britton, 11

Barry Holtzclaw

Morgan Hill citizens, school officials and community leaders this week were still trying to make sense of an April 27 brawl in which police said they were attacked by several teens while attempting to arrest a juvenile who had brought a knife to the Britton Middle School carnival. The Friday incident quickly spiraled into a large-scale emergency operation involving five police agencies, and resulted in the cancellation of what had been billed as a three-day family-friendly carnival. Police on Tuesday offered more details about the eight juveniles they

JUNE 5 ELECTION Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith and former Undersheriff John Hirokawa are the top two contenders in the race for sheriff on the June 5 ballot. Above, they are pictured during separate interviews with Tiems staff April 20.

Smith, Hirokawa battle SHERIFF AND CHALLENGER DISCUSS JAIL IN INTERVIEWS By Barry Holtzclaw & Michael Moore

Less than a month after some of her opponents said she should quit over decades-old ethical allegations, five-term incumbent Sheriff Laurie Smith has come out swinging. In a no-holds-barred interview with editors of the Gilroy

Dispatch and Morgan Hill Times, Smith claimed San Jose media were deliberately spreading false complaints about her—that she had interfered with a gender harassment complaint against her 25 years ago—and accused her leading challenger, her former undersheriff John Hirokawa, of responsibility for lax jail administration that led to the murder of an inmate in 2015 by correctional officers. On the same day of Smith’s interview, April 20, Hirokawa also sat down in Morgan Hill with the same editors—New SV

Media Publisher Dan Pulcrano, New SV Media Managing Editor and Gilroy Dispatch Editor Barry Holtzclaw and Morgan Hill Times Editor Michael Moore. Hirokawa said the sheriff had been “asleep” and unresponsive to his pleas for jail reforms prior to the death of a mentally ill inmate whose assailants—three jailers—would be convicted of murder. The two candidates’ attacks on each other in separate interviews showed clearly that the increasingly vicious race for sheriff of California’s sixth most populous

county has emerged as a twoperson contest, and one that could continue past the June 5 primary. Administration of the county jail continues to be a big issue for both the incumbent and challengers. Smith is pressing hard to top the 50-percent mark in the primary vote and avoid a long, hot summer campaign. At the same time, she has avoided some opportunities to tell her story—most recently as a no-show at a candidate forum on ➝ Sheriff Race, 4

Carnival chaos costs Britton dearly EVENT RAISED ABOUT $20K ANNUALLY Scott Forstner Reporter

58015 02004

In a matter of minutes— albeit a violent and scary few minutes April 27 involving local students and police officers—a $20,000 school fundraiser quickly unraveled. The annual Britton Middle School Carnival, the only fundraiser

organized by the Home and School Club that helps pay for everything from assemblies, field trips and dances to sports programs, athletic equipment and technology, was shut down by Morgan Hill Police and Morgan Hill Unified School District only hours after it opened. “I heard about it right away. I was devastated,” said Jennifer Allen, the Britton Home and School Club President. “My first reaction was I cannot

believe kids can take this much away from the community.” Allen’s daughter was at the carnival early Friday evening, like many Britton students, when a physical altercation spiraled out of control as Morgan Hill police attempted to arrest two juveniles seen passing a knife to one another. Video footage taken by bystanders would later show minors attacking police officers as they had another juvenile

suspect in handcuffs on the ground. While officers on the scene tried to control the situation and disperse the crowd, nearly 60 police officers from surrounding areas, including those from Gilroy and San Jose, responded to the carnival held on the middle school campus. In all, eight juveniles—many Britton students—were arrested and brought up on multiple charges for their involvement.

However, the aftermath is more widespread, with loss of valuable funds for Britton as well as for local family-owned Butler Amusements, which was ordered to pack up the carnival for the rest of the weekend. “I didn’t have all the details. I didn’t know that the carnival was shut down for the weekend,” Allen said. “My heart just sunk.” ➝ Carnival, 16

Summer opening scheduled for eateries RESTAURANTS AT THIRD AND MONTEREY STREETS DELAYED Staff Report

OUTDOOR DINING A view of the side of the south building under construction at Imwalle Properties at Third and

Monterey in downtown Morgan Hill, where Willard Hick’s and Tac-Oh will open their doors this summer. summer, even if Imwalle Properties has the Mo’s/ Opa! building up for sale. Razumich clarified that any sale of the building will not impact the 10-year leases all four restaurants

have signed for their new homes in Morgan Hill. “For us, more often than not when we do developments we buy the land, do the entitlements (and) construction, take

the risk and create a stabilized investment product, and that’s when we end up selling it,” Razumich said. “That’s how we earn our living. However, when you sign a lease,

you can’t change that. It doesn’t matter if the ownership changes hands 100 times. All four restaurants signed 10-year leases at the location, and nothing can change that.”

Teen injured by accidental officer shooting MHPD VETERAN ON LEAVE AS POLICE, DA INVESTIGATE Michael Moore Editor

A 23-year veteran Morgan Hill police officer accidentally fired his service handgun at the end of a stolen vehicle pursuit on Sunday, injuring a teen who had just exited the vehicle, according to authorities. The officer has been placed on administrative leave while the Morgan Hill Police Department and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office investigate the incident, according to Sgt. Troy Hoefling.

Morgan Hill police declined to release the name of the officer who discharged his weapon before the investigation is complete. “We’re doing a joint investigation with the police department and the (DA’s office) in alignment with the county protocol on officer involved incidents, and we’re doing an administrative investigation that will identify the facts surrounding the incident,” Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing said May 1. About 7:30pm April 29, Morgan Hill Police responded to the area of Cochrane Plaza after receiving information about a stolen van in the

area, according to a May 1 press release. Officers located the stolen van traveling in the area and attempted to make a traffic stop. The van driver refused to stop for police, according to authorities. Police continued to pursue the van, eventually ending the chase in the area of Llagas and Del Monte avenues by using a collision technique that made the vehicle spin out. When the van stopped, two teenage girls exited and walked toward officers while the 16-yearold driver remained in the vehicle, police said. As officers were directing the girls to stop and lie down on the ground, an officer

accidentally discharged his service weapon into the ground near them. The bullet broke apart, and a fragment of the projectile bounced up and struck one of the teenage girls in the eye. The girl was transported to Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, where the bullet fragment was successfully removed, police said. The teen has been released from the hospital, and is recovering, Swing said. He declined to name the girl or specify her condition because she is a juvenile. “We certainly wish her the fullest and quickest recovery,” Swing said. Three MHPD officers

were at the scene when the van crashed and the teen girls exited, Swing said. Officers are trained to make a “high-risk stop” when approaching a stolen vehicle or a person suspected of committing a felony. That training requires that in situations such as the April 29 incident, officers approach with their service weapons drawn. “Sometimes, we have less-than-lethal options available, but in this case, because of the circumstances and the number of officers at the scene, they had their service weapons drawn,” Swing said. Swing noted that Morgan Hill officers’ service weapons do not have a

safety mechanism built into them. The teen driver of the van was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, Swing added. The van had been stolen from Live Oak High School earlier in the evening. Also earlier in the evening, the two teen girls who were passengers in the stolen van had been reported missing to police. Swing said officers had been in contact with the girls’ families earlier in the day. Police are also investigating why the girls were missing. The vehicle pursuit with officers ended when the stolen van crashed into a light pole and a fire hydrant, police said.

Morgan Hill downtown gourmets will need to wait a little longer for Willard Hicks, Tac-Oh, Mo’s and Opa! to open. Restaurant owner Molly Adams has delayed the opening of Willard Hicks and TacOh, but vowed in an email that the restaurants would open this summer. “All locations will open during the summer of 2018, but there are many factors still affecting the firm opening dates at this time,” Adams said in an email Monday. “There are many moving parts and lots of details to get in place before opening the restaurants. Sometimes that requires slowing

down. As mentioned before, all of the locations will open in the summer of 2018.” The restaurants are slated to open in two buildings under construction at Monterey Road and Third Street in downtown Morgan Hill. Developer Imwalle Properties is currently the owner of the project, but the northern building is up for sale. The opening dates for Willard Hicks and Tac-Oh, in the southern building under construction next to Trail Dust BBQ had previously been estimated to coincide with the AMGEN Tour of California professional bicycle race passage through Morgan Hill on May 16. Opa! and Mo’s, in the building on the corner at Monterey and Third, was not expected to open until June. Now, all are expected to open their doors in the

GILROY DISPATCH | MORGAN HILL TIMES | HOLLISTER FREE LANCE

MORGAN HILL TIMES

MAY 4, 2018

On the record, Q&A with Laurie Smith SHERIFF PROMISES TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY IN SIXTH TERM Q. There's obviously a lot of growth in South County. Do you see any need for changes in manpower strategies for handling this increase?

Is there anything the sheriff’s office could or should do to curtail the proliferation of accidents and traffic violations on rural roads like Watsonville Road that have become commuter routes? I think it's increased. I think that we’re going to work on traffic enforcement.

We’ve talked to the Highway Patrol about it. We've got a great relationship and they're going to work with us on it, and they don't mind that we do traffic enforcement, because in unincorporated areas the traffic enforcement is CHP. But that doesn't mean that we can't write as many tickets as wherever we want. People think we can't write tickets on the freeway, but yes we can. We don't generally, because it's not our responsibility, but we certainly have the authority. What of the allegation from the 1990s, accusing you of sexual harassment? Basically, I say it is false— and you know, it is very hurtful. For generations to come, you have to read about how this guy made these salacious allegations against me that are not true.

So may we ask you something about your former undersheriff, John Hirokawa? Was he responsible for the 2015 death of Michael Tyree in the Santa Clara County Main Jail? In July of 2010 he was chief of correction—with no correction. Now he’s saying apparently he has taken full responsibility for the murder [of inmate Michael Tyree]. I can call them murderers now because the three jailers were convicted of Tyree’s death. [Hirokawa] was there during that time and he froze—he didn't want to do any media, didn't want to talk about. We were writing a reform plan and he didn't want anything to do with it. I think he just panicked. He was chief all the way up until he retired [in 2016].

Barry Holtzclaw

A. We always look at cost for service. And if we need additional staffing for calls for service, we base our staffing on that. And you know, we have two rural crime deputies that work here with the ranchers and the cattlemen and everything down here. But our South County statistics? I was actually literally surprised. Auto theft in 2016

it was 138. Last year, 47. Everything [in crime stats] is significantly down [in 2017-18]. Everyone's concerned about thefts from vehicles, which is just really really high in 2016, when it was 40 and in 2017 it was 27 [incidents]. I never take credit for good crime rates, because I think that law enforcement doesn't have the biggest impact on crime rates. The economy, the employment rate, alcohol, drugs, socioeconomics are factors.

INTERVIEW Sheriff Laurie Smith sits down with editors of the Morgan Hill TImes and Gilroy Dispatch. And he's saying that he had no authority, that he had to do whatever you wanted. You know that's a great thing to say right now, but

that's that's factually inaccurate. He reported to the Board of Supervisors. He met in closed session with ➝ Smith,8

On the record, Q&A with John Hirokawa FORMER COUNTY UNDERSHERIFF SAYS IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE Q. Why did you decide to run for sheriff? A. I want to restore the integrity, fairness, transparency, community trust and balance to the elected position of sheriff. This is critically important to our community because the culture of the sheriff 's office starts at the top. The sheriff is a public servant leading by example. I believe that I have in-depth knowledge and experience and have had diverse responsibilities. What do you think are the top two public safety issues in unincorporated portions of Santa Clara County? Probably the number of supervisors and deputies that are assigned to the area. And then how those shifts and especially the special assignments needs to be flexible to the needs, especially in more rural areas. How they're deployed and how the shifts are arranged are probably important.

I have been talking to the rank-and-file. I believe that it's important to have that communication with the community groups in the South County to determine how to best serve this community. The best ideas come from guess what—the rankand-file in the community. What I'm looking for is to create more supervision at all the shifts to make sure there's complete coverage. Outreach is important, not just at certain election periods, but consistenty throughout the term, and that's why I'll continue to do it. But on top of that is the training with regard to certain crimes that are more unique to the South County area. Fish and Game issues, things like that. Because of the growth of the area there is a lot more traffic on alternate commuter routes. Is there anything you think the sheriff's office could or should do to kind of curtail that? Helping the Highway Patrol is key. But the other thing that you do is that when there is no sure concurrent jurisdiction, we can enforce traffic laws just like Highway Patrol. And

you talk to those chiefs— you collaborate with them: Can we help, can we do things, are you going to be OK? So again, I'm about communicating, talking to the community and talking to other law enforcement agencies about how to address these issues. There's nothing stopping the sheriff 's deputies from enforcing traffic laws. There is a sheriff’s substation in San Martin. Do you think you think it's adequately staffed? I think it could be again. I think it could be better staffed in regards to supervision and manpower. But I think the first order of business is to look at the ratio of supervision and when the supervisors are on duty. You were part of the sheriff's senior management for at least five years. Did you ever come to the sheriff and say, ‘We should be doing this,’ and she said, ‘No we can't do this?’ I would say she [Sheriff Smith] was disengaged or sleeping. So what she would say is, “You do do what you think is best.”

OK. But when I was bringing things to her attention, especially about the jails, there was no response. So I had to take it. And that was in late 2014 early 2015 before the death of Michael Tyree. She had received letters and phone calls from the prison law office that had gone nowhere. Were you aware of any incidents that came to your attention? Complaints about the incidents that came to my attention were given to internal affairs and to the criminal division. Were you aware of a culture there that would lead to brutality? I was unaware of any issues that came up during the Michael Tyree investigation. However, in early 2015 before Michael Tyree was killed, I had already hired an expert consultant to review some of the issues that we were having in the jails. I asked her [Sheriff Smith] if we can do these things. There was no response, so we went ahead and did it anyway. I'm advocating for oversight, independent oversight, an independent body, an inspector general, to say to the Board of

Supervisors—who's operating the jail? I brought this up. Who should be in charge of the county jails? The Sheriff’s Department has no operational authority in the jails. There was somewhat of a contract agreement that put supervisors in command of a lieutenant in the jails to help oversee it. Everything's now under the chief of corrections. Who is operating the jail? Is it the board supervisors or is it the sheriff? OK but if the Board of Supervisors is operating, running the jails, then there should an oversight report to the Board of Supervisors. That's an independent oversight. The sheriff [Sheriff Smith] was responsible for, was reported as saying the sheriff has been operating the jails (since the merger). The sheriff is responsible, is a live person operating the jails. If that's true, they're pointing it out. That's how it's been and that's how it should be, then really then the board should have oversight and have that inspector general report to the board.

Under what rules should Tasers be used by deputies in the field? I think the first thing that has to be done is an evaluation of what might have come into play if we had them. There has to be within the use-of-force continuum something short of using deadly force, a firearm, OK? Other than using deadly force, you may be able to use the Taser, but that has never been spelled out. What about Tasers in the jail? The correctional deputies want Tasers in the jail. But they don't want oversight. Some people use the restrainer carotid hold. I think it's past its day. They're going to make mistakes in regards to how it is employed nationwide. Who would determine when an officer’s body cam footage could be released, so the public can get some confidence that procedures were followed? With regards to privacy: A body cam doesn't just ➝ Hirokawa, 8

Four challenge sheriff on June ballot Sheriff Race, 1 no-show at a candidate forum on April 24—although she agreed to the nearly one-hour interview with the Times and Dispatch. The other challengers on the June ballot are retired Lt. Jose Salcido, Deputy Joe La Jeunesse,

and retired police chief Martin J. Monica. The Sheriff’s Office has a staff of 1,800 sworn and nonsworn employees and an annual budget of about $308 million. The elected sheriff serves a term of four years. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office serves the communities of Cupertino,

Los Altos Hills, Saratoga and the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. The Sheriff's Office also maintains contracts with the Valley Transportation Authority and the Santa Clara County Parks Department for law enforcement services. The Sheriff's Office is also responsible for

the safety and security of the Santa Clara County Superior Court system and all its staff. The Sheriff's Office oversees the jail system for Santa Clara County, with over 4,000 inmates. Four of the five county supervisors — Cindy Chavez, Mike Wasserman, Dave Cortese and Ken

Yeager—have endorsed Smith. Supervisor Joe Simitian has not. The Times and the Dispatch are publishing an edited transcript of the April 27 interviews with Smith and Hirokawa, below. Longer versions will be available at morganhilltimes.com and gilroydispatch.com.

The editors said they chose to limit their sheriff interviews to the two front-runners who have raised the most funds and campaigned most extensively. The newspapers’ endorsement editorial for Santa Clara County Sheriff is on Page 6 of the May 4 issues.

OPINION OUR TOWN JOHN MCKAY

It’s Bike Week in Morgan Hill

Re-elect Sheriff Laurie Smith to sixth term

n two decades as the county’s sheriff, Laurie Smith’s legacy includes both accomplishments and mistakes, and as she runs for a sixth four-year term, her challengers have sought to direct attention to the latter. Smith’s department’s investigation led to the successful prosecution of Sierra LaMar’s killer and she’s been out front on women’s issues—from rape cases at Stanford and De Anza College to the suicide of a West Valley high school student shamed on social media. Much of the controversy surrounds the management of California’s fifth largest jail system, which was returned to the sheriff ’s control in 2010 after a failed 13-year effort to run an independent Department of Correction. The Board of Supervisors stripped Sheriff Robert Winter of that responsibility in 1987 after a judge sentenced supervisors to jail for mismanaging the overcrowded system, and costs spiraled out of control. Eight years ago, the board had enough confidence in Smith to consolidate both departments under the control of a single executive. The county’s perpetually troubled correction system is a thankless, no-win assignment, and the current administration now owns the mess. In 2015, mentally ill inmate Michael Tyree was beaten to death by three guards who regularly pulled prisoners out of cells and roughed them up for sport. The next year two prisoners sawed bars and lowered themselves to a few hours of freedom using bedsheets. John Hirokawa, who is running against Smith, says it’s time to change the department’s leadership. That’s a fair argument, but is the alternative better? Hirokawa ran the jails for six years as Chief of Correction, including the time when the culture spiraled out of control and resulted in Tyree’s beating death. Hirakawa now claims that he was only in charge of laundry, janitorial services and

booking, and was just taking orders from Smith when Tyree was killed. At the same time, he says the disengaged sheriff let him do whatever he wanted. His title was Chief of Correction, he reported to Board of Supervisors and he accepted responsibility at the time of the 2015 incident. Now he wants to shift the blame to Smith. Is he running as a leader with experience, accountable for his actions, or as an ineffective flunky who took orders and failed to speak up? He can’t have it both ways and speak out of both sides of his mouth. While Hirokawa doesn’t mince words when it comes to criticizing his former boss, he stumbles and lapses into confusing bureaucratese when trying to articulate how he would do anything different. As a spokesman for a major law enforcement agency, he just isn’t ready for prime time. Another candidate for sheriff, former deputy sheriffs’ union leader Jose Salcido, has shown stunningly bad judgment during the campaign by associating with a released felon and registered sex offender. His tenure as law enforcement advisor to former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed was a low point in relations with that city’s police department, and while Salcido doesn’t deserve all the blame, there’s few accomplishments to take credit for. Santa Clara County’s population growth continues to tilt south and into the unincorporated areas under the protection of sheriff ’s deputies. Smith has demonstrated an ability to grow, and to support her deputies in their battles against crime in a rapidly growing metro area. She’s moving ahead with jail reform and is willing to hold her deputies accountable, which has earned her critics amongst former sheriffs who perennially back failed challengers. We’ll stick with Smith until a credible, next-generation leader enters the arena. She can do the job. The others have yet to demonstrate that they can.

The Amgen Tour of California, the biggest bicycle race in all of these United States, is almost here! ARE YOU READY? It’s now May, which the League of American Bicyclists has declared National Bike Month. They have 57 million members, so they win—it’s Bike Month. Next, we are about to venture into our own Morgan Hill Bike Week. It’s the first time we’ve done it here and it’s being done right—with a little help from our friends. Bike Week officially starts May 9. To get an early start on Bike Week this Friday, May 4, you’ll want to mount up and head to the corner of First and Depot Streets. A no-host ride is planned to gather at 7:30pm and it promises to be one big party—a Bike Party to be exact. Bike Parties are popular in other cities, so let’s see how much fun we can have and make it a Morgan Hill style event. I’ve heard this bike event may include dancing… On May 9, you can ride to school with your children to celebrate Bike to School Day. Many of our local school children just learned about bike safety from the folks at Specialized Bicycle Components and AEG (Amgen ToC event organizers), so let’s practice safety and fun. Then, May 10 is “Ride to Work Day.” Stop at the Community Center and get “energized” with refreshments and some goodies. On Friday, May 11, head to the Downtown Amphitheater for the Amgen ToC kick off concert. Specialized got involved, allowing the Chamber of Commerce to bring in some great musical acts. Specialized helped sponsor the concert, bike inspections and a bike rodeo that will take place in the parking lot. Wanna try something different for Mother’s Day? Come out and ride with the Mayor and other community leaders you’d like to see sweat, and show that a few quality miles with mom is the way to spend the day. After the ride, sit down to some pancakes at the Morgan Hill Grange. Specialized is a friend to the Morgan Hill community, and what do friends do? They invite you over to their place on Tuesday, May 15. Specialized will open up their headquarters and “Windtunnel” to our community for a rare look around their digs. You must see all of the cool stuff they have in their museum, check out some custom bikes (like a chopper and hot rod bike) and maybe have a beer or glass of wine while you’re at it. To cap off our Bike Week, on May 16 we will host the world of international bicycle racing—that’s race day! FYI: a community meeting on street closures and details on the event will be held May 8, 6pm to 8pm, at the Community Center, 17000 Monterey Road. This is a great opportunity to hear details about the event so don’t miss it if you’d like to know more about getting around on race day. For detailed information, visit https://www. morgan-hill.ca.gov/1679/Events-and-Activities. John McKay is president of the Morgan Hill Downtown Association, city planning commissioner and co-founder of the Morgan Hill Tourism Alliance. He can be reached at takuhog@yahoo.com.

RESULTS OF INDEPENDENT COMPLIANCE AUDIT on FY 2017 2000 Measure A Program Expenditures The Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is delivering transportation solutions critical to the vitality, prosperity and quality of life for all who live, work or play in Santa Clara County. In November 2000, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure A, a 30-year half cent sales tax devoted to specific public transit capital improvement projects and operations. Most of the ballot-defined projects are massive and very complex, requiring years to plan, design and construct. Although in just the 11th of a 30 year program (tax collection started mid-2006), VTA has achieved significant results toward meeting Measure A goals, including milestones achieved during FY 2017 (7/1/16 - 6/30/17): • Extending BART to the Santa Clara County cities of Milpitas, San Jose and Santa Clara - The first phase, to Berryessa, is nearing completion, system testing is underway, and revenue service is projected for late 2018. • Improve Bus Service in Major Corridors - Construction of Alum Rock Santa Clara Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was completed and BRT revenue service along the corridor began May 2017. Also, construction of bus stop improvements for the Stevens Creek Rapid 523 was completed in late 2017 for this enhanced service that will serve the Berryessa BART Station when it opens in late 2018. • Caltrain service upgrades - The Santa Clara Caltrain Station Pedestrian Underpass Extension, which provides safe pedestrian and bicyclist crossing under the railroad tracks, was completed and opened in June 2017.

The public is encouraged to attend but for those unable, written comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on May 9 at the addresses shown below. If you need accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) such as sign language interpreters or accessible print materials, or need documents translated in your primary language or an interpreter for this meeting, please contact VTA’s Customer Service at least five days prior to the meeting at (408) 321-2300, TTY (408) 321-2330.

First Street, Building, San José, CA 95134-1927. Questions or comments on the hearing should be emailed to board.secretary@vta.org or mailed to the Office of the Board Secretary at the above address. INDEPENDENT AUDIT: Fulfilling its ballot-defined responsibilities, the independent Citizens Watchdog Committee (CWC) for Measure A commissioned an audit of the Measure A Program financial records for FY 2017. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, independent certified public accountants, conducted the compliance audit. They issued an unqualified (“clean”) opinion, meaning that in their professional opinion VTA complied in all material respects with the provisions defined in the ballot. Every annual Measure A compliance audit (12 to date) has received a clean opinion.

Hirokawa calls for independent oversight Hirokawa, 1

that there should be more transparency disclosure. OK. Only on certain circumstances do I believe that the video can be released. So I think I'm the only candidate who’s gone to the unions and has advocated for oversight, independent oversight. Could you provide some clarity for the public and for the deputies about how the sheriff’s department should cooperate with immigration enforcement agents? OK, so we are not supposed to ask about immigration status or documentation. Also that creates an environment

where we have a part of our community now who will not, who don't trust us in regards to our intent, in regards to what we may do if we start asking those questions. There was a directive from the county that no ICE agents or immigration people can come and go into the jail. But that information wasn't passed down to the people. She [Sheriff Smith] let them in. So there needs to be a clear, unambiguous position from the top executive about where they stand. For a longer version of this interview, go to morganhilltimes.com, or gilroydispatch.com.

capture the person who may be the subject of the reasons why we're having contact. There may be other people also within our views or maybe other people in the background. OK, so they have privacy rights. So I believe that in general that the video itself, because there are privacy issues for the people being filmed, that there is an expectation of their privacy and how we go about releasing it. Now when you come to a controversial subject, a controversial subject, you most likely use force, right? Now I know you guys are in the newspaper business, right? So it’s a public record for you. You believe

INTERVIEW Former Undersheriff John Hirokawa sits down with editors of the Morgan Hill Times and Gilroy Dispatch.

Smith calls for changes in jail administration Smith, 1 the Board of Supervisors. And he set goals and objectives on the entire jail with the Board of Supervisors. The fact is, that he was running the jails. It's very convenient now for him to say that and place blame somewhere else. Are you satisfied with the current jail administration setup? It does need to be changed because it's somewhat convoluted. My current undersheriff, Carl Neusel, is also the interim chief of corrections and reports to the Board of Supervisors in closed session and is evaluated by the board. It really should be a more clear-cut command. I think if you ask jail employees, they say that they don't know whom they work for, necessarily. There

really needs to be needs to be a clear chain of command. Ultimately, everything is under me, because the undersheriff position is there and I'm the appointing authority for all the deputies. But in functionality, it’s the chief of correction (who runs the jail). Do officers in the jail wear body cameras? Yes, and we've seen our complaints really go down. I was pretty unhappy that the county told me that a camera system in the jail would cost something like $20 million. I bought one system that was I think 15 cameras. We put them up in this one housing area and the next day there was a major, major serious fight. And just having those cameras there, we were able to get criminal charges

on the actual offenders. After that, the county went out and bought the same system. I'm also a big proponent of Tasers in the jail. I think that we have to do everything that we can protect our deputies. What's your thought about when deputies’ body camera videos should be released? That’s a really hard question and I've wrestled with that a lot. I believe in that and also in privacy. I think that people really have the right to privacy. I know we can always hide behind the investigation exception. But I think there are going to be some court decisions. I think the courts are wrestling with that as much as the rest of us are—how does privacy and transparency mix, and what is the right answer?

So do I think it should be released the day after the investigation ends? That's the problem: Is the investigation done? But then the district attorney has to review it to find whether or not they're going to indict. When they do that very detailed report of the summary, and (report) their findings, they should release the tape at the same time. The DA's office should have to weigh in on that within a couple of months, instead of a couple of years. Do your officers use the carotid restraint? No. It's in our use-of-force policy, but it's very high up, where it can rarely be used. Most people don’t know the carotid restraint is blood, and not air—This is what kills people [uses her hand to demonstrate

pressure on the front of her windpipe]. How do you keep excited about your job? The people. We have the greatest deputies in the world. What they do every day I think it's wonderful. I'm very passionate about the job. I will stay as long as I think I'm productive, or don’t get elected. I really believe in the service that we provide. I've been in the sheriff's office for almost 45 years. So it's been a long time—I've had a great career. So you expect, if you’re re-elected, to serve out the full four years? Yes. Was the Sierra LaMar case a success? I think we were very very

successful. The initial call came out: “My teenage daughter did not return home.” We called out our search-and-rescue team, a group of really highly dedicated volunteers, and along with technology we were able to find her cell phone and then within 48 hours they were able to find her backpack. Had the deputy who responded to the scene not had the intuition that this is not just a teenage girl not coming home, I don’t think we would have been so successful, because the backpack was where we identified the suspect. I think that our investigation into the case was exceptional. We had a first-degree conviction of murder without ever actually finding Sierra, and that’s one thing I hope we can do some time, is to find her.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

Police: Teen suspects knew each other Teen Riot, 1 arrested that suggests their assaults on officers were organized. “We’re under the impression that they all knew each other,” Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Troy Hoefling said May 1. The incident started on Britton Middle School grounds, 80 W. Central Ave., at 5:48pm, April 27, when school staff contacted two uniformed Morgan Hill police officers who had been assigned to patrol the annual carnival, police said. The officers were told that a male juvenile on the carnival site—on the northern edge of downtown Morgan Hill—was in possession of a knife that another student had given him. Police contacted the juvenile with the knife while he was in line for one of the carnival rides, authorities said. The child was arrested without incident. Immediately after that arrest, school staff then directed police to the juvenile who had given the knife to the other suspect, police said. In addition to providing the knife, that student had also caused a disturbance on campus earlier in the day and had been asked to leave by school authorities. When officers approached this teen on the basketball courts on the south side of the campus, the suspect “automatically” took a fighting stance, Hoefling said. “He was intent on telling officers he was not going to go with the program. He was derogatory, cursing at the officers, and didn’t care what happened and he was going to make a stand. He was going to do whatever it took to get to jail.” Additional officers responded, and the second juvenile was taken into custody, police said. While the teen was being arrested at the crowded carnival, other teenagers interfered and assaulted multiple officers, resulting in four arrests in the area of the basketball courts. The surrounding crowd grew to about 200 people, many of whom contributed to an increasingly “hostile environment,” police said. This resulted in police response from multiple agencies, including Gilroy, San Jose, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and California Highway Patrol. A total of 59 officers responded

to the scene before the crowds were dispersed. Many of those in the unruly crowd displayed gang signs, shouted gang slogans and wore gangrelated clothing, police said. As police attempted to control the crowd, four more juveniles were arrested just outside the campus boundaries, near the intersection of Monterey Road and Keystone Avenue, police said. Police ordered the crowd to disperse, threatening to arrest any subjects who stayed in the area. All eight of the arrested male juveniles were local residents “from a variety of schools throughout the district,” Hoefling said. “Most of the eight—if not all” of the teen suspects have previous history with Morgan Hill police. Two of the suspects are age 17; two are 15; three are 14; and one is 13. These juvenile suspects were booked at the county’s Juvenile Hall on suspicion of a variety of crimes, including possession of a knife on school grounds; assault on an officer; felonious threats on officers; inciting a riot and resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer. Police did not release the names of the arrested juveniles. Hoefling said officers could have arrested even more teens who intentionally blocked intersections when police patrol cars arrived at the scene, “attempting to stop responding units.” The teens who assaulted the officers “jumped on their backs” and tried to pull officers away, “as if they were trying to rescue their friend from arrest,” Hoefling said. In one instance, a teen approached an officer while holding a skateboard but was quickly disarmed. The assaulted officers suffered minor injuries, the worst occurring when a suspect punched an officer in the face. An officer deployed a Taser on one of the suspects, Hoefling said. As a result of the melee, police and the Morgan Hill Unified School District decided to shut down the carnival for the rest of the weekend. The annual fundraiser for the school had been scheduled to continue until the evening of April 29. “Just like anything, it’s a few bad apples that

spoil the whole bunch. We couldn’t take a chance of anybody getting hurt. Some of the kids had been known to the police department in (illegal) activity they had done before, together,” Hoefling said.

Community responds

MHUSD Board of Trustees President Tom Arnett declined to comment on the April 27 incident when contacted May 1. He said he was “not fully up to speed” on what happened and he was planning to discuss the incident with Supt. Steve Betando that evening. Mayor Steve Tate, who presides over a city council that has long held the community’s youth as one of its top priorities, was distraught over the April 27 brawl. He said the lack of respect shown by the group of teens toward police officers and adults in general is “not acceptable,” and he thinks it is an issue the community should address. “We obviously have a problem,” Tate said. “We can’t say we don’t have gang problems. We need to focus on what (the problems) are, and figure out solutions.” Tate invited residents to discuss this and other issues involving the youth at his upcoming Coffee With The Mayor at 10am May 5, at GVA Café, 17400 Monterey Road. He added he will pursue other upcoming opportunities to engage those who are concerned after the April 27 carnival incident. By Monday, April 30, Britton Principal Chris Moore had sent a letter to parents of the school’s students in response to the unfortunate incident. “Britton site administrators are working with staff to have additional counselors available on campus for students who feel uneasy about this weekend’s events,” reads the letter, in part. “Staff will also review safe campus expectations with all students in their homeroom. Although only one youth involved in the weekend incident is a current Britton student, we are aware of the impact that media reports and the cancellation of the carnival will have on our student body.” Tate and Moore both praised the officers’ actions in response to the April 27 incident.

all bicycle-related injuries seen in U.S. emergency rooms, according to event organizers. Despite the increasing number of adult bike riders, the amount of children riding bikes has plummeted 20 percent since 2010, according to organizers. Many children are not engaging in physical activities, which is contributing to the childhood obesity epidemic (17 percent of children in the U.S. are obese and 21.9 percent of Latino children are obese).

Students at two Morgan Hill schools were treated to special visits April 27 from a pair of professional cyclists who promoted bicycle safety and living an active lifestyle.

Carnival is part of family tradition Carnival, 1

students who bought the $23 discounted all-day pass prior to the event. “I’m beyond frustrated,” said Moyer, an active member of the Britton school community since her oldest son (now a senior at Ann Sobrato High School) first started there. Six years ago—and every year since—she has scheduled her family’s carnival business to be at Britton to help fund the school’s activities for years to come. “It is the only thing we do once a year,” Allen said. “We decided we didn’t want to nickel-and-dime parents with smaller fundraisers throughout the year. Instead, we wanted to have this big community event, make it fun for everyone and still benefit from it.” The nonprofit Britton Home and School Club, made up of parent volunteers who come and go as their kids graduate through to high school, has limited reserved funds saved up from previous years, according to Allen. “It could affect our lastday-of-school celebration. It definitely will impact us next year,” said Allen, who is also concerned about the future of the Britton carnival and if it will be allowed back. “I don’t want the community to miss out.”

A family affair

Butler Amusements, a family-owned and operated business for more than five decades, has been tied to the Morgan Hill community since Jill and Lance Moyer arrived here

Michael Moore

The carnival’s operators, including Jill and Lance Moyer, whose three sons all attended Britton with the youngest still in eighth grade, were shocked and dismayed by what transpired in their hometown. Jill Moyer, whose father and grandfather started the family business in the mid-1960s, offered refunds to those who purchased advanced tickets. It was the first time the carnival has ever been shut down, according to Lance Moyer, the company’s Chief Operating Officer. Allen, who has two children currently attending Britton and is in her second year as an active member of the home and school club, set up a GoFundMe page on the popular crowdfunding site in an effort to try to recoup the lost funds. They have generated $3,813 in donations; however, it is far short of the nearly $20,000 in annual funds generated for the school through the carnival ticket sales. Donations can still be made at gofundme.com/5y3v7fbritton-carnival-loss or by stopping by the Britton front office, located at 80 W. Central Ave. Last year, Britton netted $18,000 from carnival proceeds, according to Allen. This year, advanced ticket sales eclipsed those of 2017, forecasting even more profits for Britton in 2018, according to Jill Moyer. On April 30, Moyer was on the Britton campus after school refunding

FORMER CRIME SCENE The April 27 carnival incident that led to a massive police response started on the basketball courts at Britton Middle School, pictured here the morning of April 28 with crews dismantling rides and other equipment in the background. The basketball courts are adjacent to Keystone Avenue on the northern edge of downtown Morgan Hill. nearly 17 years ago. It arose from humble beginnings when Jill’s grandfather, George Butler, bought his first carnival kiddie ride while living in Austin, Minnesota. At that time, Jill’s father Butch coowned a grocery store with George. But on weekends they would take their single ride to local fairs. “They would go out all weekend and would make more money in one weekend than they’d make in a few months at the grocery store,” Jill said. George Butler and his wife Evelyn then brought the kiddie ride to Southern California and fell in love

with the warm weather. They decided, along with Jill’s parents Butch and Mary, to sell their homes, buy several carnival rides and trailers, and moved out west in RVs in the mid-1960s. After spending time in SoCal, the Butler family settled in Campbell, where their children attended Willow Glen High School. As they graduated, Butch—who died six years ago—got each of his children their own carnival stand to run. “While we were cleaning out my dad’s house, we found a route sheet list from 1972 and Live Oak

High School (now Britton) was on it,” Jill shared. The entire family is involved in various capacities. Jill was born in 1970, the year Butler Amusements was established, but she also had older sisters Tami Quint, Kris Brajevich and Kelley Butler. Years later came younger brother Sean Butler, who is now the traveling carnival’s Unit Manager. While Jill’s husband Lance is the COO, Kris’s husband Mick Brajevich is the Chief Executive Officer. Tami, and her husband Ron, are in charge of the company’s transportation and trucking department.

Kelley Butler, along with partner Gena, are office managers. “We’re all involved in the business. It’s a complete family-run business,” said Jill Moyer, who is more active with the company in the busy summer months when the carnival is booked in various cities. “The business is unique because we travel as a family, not just us but all of our employees and everyone we work with.” Bringing the carnival to Morgan Hill, however, was always special, “Because we know a lot of the kids and it’s a good community fundraiser,” she said.

DETERMINATION Sobrato High freshman sensation Annie Ly was downright spectacular in the BVAL Swimming Finals, winning two individual races along with being a member of the Bulldogs’ victorious 200-yard freestyle and 400 free relay teams. She’s hit CCS marks in the 200 IM and 100 fly. BVAL FINALS

Sobrato’s title repeat LIVE OAK ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF STANDOUTS WHO QUALIFY FOR SECTION emanuel lee Sports Editor

Premier diver

Sobrato senior Kylie Katsuyoshi dominated the girls diving event, totaling 432.35 points. Aliamus barely missed out on qualifying for the 100 free, with a seasonbest of 56.41 seconds, just 2/100ths of a second off the cut time. However, Aliamus had a particularly strong performance in every race, a testament to her consistency as she closes out her high school career at the CCS Meet, which starts on May 11. “It’s pretty special to go for two relay teams,” she said. “Swimming together has really brought the girls together in a way that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.” Ly has proven to be a force in the 100 fly and 200 IM, and if she keeps on improving, contending—not just making— the CCS Finals is a likely probability in the next year or so. For Sawyer, day one of the BVAL Finals proved to be a now or never scenario. Sawyer, who had already made the decision to skip Saturday’s

finals to attend a beach lifeguard academy training program in San Luis Obispo—something that was required since Sawyer will be relocating to San Luis Obispo in the summer to work and attend Cuesta College in the fall—had one last chance to hit a Central Coast Section qualifying time in the 100-yard freestyle. And that’s exactly what Sawyer did—by the slimmest of margins. Sawyer’s time of 49.93 seconds was just under the cutoff mark of 49.99, and it was a clutch performance in his final chance to make sectionals. “I was stoked when I found out I made it,” Sawyer said. “It was my best time, but sometimes the stopwatch time is different than when you touch the pad. I checked the time later when they posted it and saw that I had done it. It was great since I had been working on that since freshman year.” Saywer pulled out all of the stops to qualify, shaving his body the night before—it took him two hours to complete— and wearing a hi-tech swim suit in the hopes to shave precious tenths of a second off his time. “It was my last race so I had to go all out,” he said. Sawyer borrowed a Jammer swim suit from Hatch’s older brother, Jarod, a former Bulldogs standout who is swimming at Cal. “The Jammer suits are really small and tight, and they take about 15 minutes to put on,” Sawyer said. “You want them to be as tight as you can because ➝ Swimming, page 18

Make that two in a row. The Sobrato High girls swimming team repeated as Blossom Valley League champions last Friday and Saturday at Gunderson High. The Bulldogs totaled 427 points to edge Piedmont Hills by four points in one of the closest team finishes in recent memory. “It was a great accomplishment,” said Nina Aliamus, who swam several events to help pile up points for the Bulldogs. “We lost some really good seniors off last year’s team, but we gained some talented freshmen, and they stepped up. We had a lot of people step up and take charge.” Sobrato was up by two points heading into the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. Fortunately for the Bulldogs, their relay team was far and away the best quartet in the field. “We pulled through and it was such an amazing moment,” Aliamus said. “The pressure was on us to win the event.” And that’s exactly what the team of Aliamus, Helena Batey, Amanda Jackson and Annie Ly did, scorching the field in a time of 3 minutes, 49.47 seconds, four seconds faster than

Piedmont Hills. The quartet had already hit a Central Coast Section qualifying time in the event along with the 200 free relay. Freshman sensation Annie Ly has section-qualifying times in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley, and Aliamus the 50 free. On the boys side, sophomore Jacob Hatch is headed to CCS for the 100 back and senior Clayton Sawyer the 100 free. For Live Oak, Kai Leong and Karrine Leong made the CCS cut times in the 100 backstroke.

for himself. For Live Oak’s top swimmers, the present and future came in the form of Karrine Leong, who nailed her CCS cut in the 100 back after several tries from the start of the season. That happened Friday, and the next day Leong further lowered her PR by half a second to close out the meet in style. When Leong hit the wall Friday in the 100 back, she didn’t think it was a quality swim.

Nice surprise

FRIDAY CROSSWORD

SUPER SOPHOMORE Sobrato High’s Jacob Hatch had a strong showing in the Blossom

Valley League Finals. Hatch is headed to the CCS Meet for the 100-yard backstroke.

Robert Eliason

“I was really surprised at the time because I messed up on my turns,” she said. Brother Kai Leong nailed a PR in the 100 back, finishing in 55 seconds. Leong also won his heat in the 50 free, and though it wasn’t a qualifying time, a PR qualifies as a successful performance. The Leongs have one more high school meet to go before Kai heads off to college. The two have shared numerous memories in the pool, and last weekend they got to watch each other produce sensational performances. Kai, who also swam the 200 free and 200 medley relays, was overjoyed that Karrine nailed the cutoff time in the 100 backstroke. “She’s been waiting for that the whole season,” he said. “Swimming makes us closer,” Karrine said. “We connect because we have the same events and know what it’s like to swim the events.” The Leongs—like the rest of the swimmers in the field—had to be mindful of keeping their muscles warm. They spent plenty of time in the warm-up/cool down pool to prevent from getting stiff. “If that happens, you

jump in the pool and everything locks up,” Kai Leong said. On the diving side, the focused Katsuyoshi shined, repeating as league champion in impressive fashion. The diving finals took place two days before the start of the swim finals at Santa Teresa High. Katsuyoshi, who has earned a scholarship to dive at the University of Denver, didn’t advance to the CCS Finals last year after not finishing among the top 16 in the preliminary round. As a sophomore, Katsuyoshi took 12th place. This season, the senior is aiming for a top-10 finish. At the high school level, divers must complete a front, back, reverse, inward and twister dive. In addition, they must complete one more dive from any of those categories for a score. “Reverse dives are probably my strength,” said Katsuyoshi, who easily qualified above the CCS qualifying mark of 280 points. Even though Katsuyoshi has only been diving for four years, she made a seamless transition to the sport after competing in gymnastics for several years. In fact, the majority of the six members of Sobrato’s dive team were on the same gymnastics club team before entering high school. “The other girls on the team are all ex-gymnasts, so it’s funny how we all transitioned from gymnastics into diving,” she said. In the high school diving competition, Katsuyoshi is only allowed to dive off a 1-meter springboard. When she’s competing at

you’re way more dynamic going into the water. You definitely can break a sweat just putting them on, but it’s worth it.” From shaving his body to wearing the Jammer, Sawyer noticed a difference, both mentally and physically. “Once you get in the pool, it’s all on you to swim the way you’re capable of,” he said. “You know you’ve done everything to be as fast as possible.” Speaking of fast, Hatch was just that. The super sophomore hit his CCS cutoff time in the 100 back Friday, and he’s seemingly peaking at the perfect time. “It was a do or die thing Friday with trying to qualify,” he said. “When I hit the wall, they said I swam it in 56 seconds. I knew that was a CCS time, but I didn’t want to get too excited until it became official. When they posted the time (56 seconds), I had all this energy and sense of accomplishment that I finally did it.” At the end of the meet Saturday, Hatch did handstands in the warm-up/cool down pool. It was a reward for enduring a six-plus hour meet for the second straight day. Hatch’s dad, Jason, is big into CrossFit and has taught Jacob how to do a handstand. “It’s fun trying to do it in the pool, trying to walk and stuff,” Jacob said. “It helps you with your balance and core strength.” Hatch credits Jarod for helping him develop into a strong swimmer, and yet Jacob is quietly coming into his own and making a name

FASTER, STRONGER Live Oak High’s Jack Calvetti, seen here in earlier competition this season, had a strong showing in the 200-yard freestyle in the BVAL Championships. the club level, however, Katsuyoshi sometimes dives off of a 10-meter board. After not advancing out of the CCS

preliminary round last season, Katsuyoshi was motivated to not let that happen again. “It pushed me to learn

new dives and improve the ones I already was doing,” she said. “I try to stay calm and focus on the corrections my coach gives me.”
