Veteran SoCal sergeant is new PD captain EMIL KOKESH JOINS LOCAL FORCE WITH 27 YEARS EXPERIENCE Michael Moore Editor
➝ New Captain, 8
Robert Eliason
Following a five-month search, the Morgan Hill Police Department reached outside the community to hire its newest captain: veteran San Bernardino Police Sgt. Emil Kokesh. Kokesh began his new position in Morgan Hill Dec. 4. He is a 27-year veteran of a police department in Southern California that is more than four times the size of Morgan Hill’s force. Kokesh’s most recent assignment in San Bernardino, located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, was as sergeant overseeing the homicide unit. While in San Bernardino, Kokesh also led the department’s regional auto theft task force and served as an acting lieutenant. He was a first responder to the December 2015 terrorist shooting at the Inland Regional Center, in which 14 people were killed and 22 others injured. Kokesh comes to Morgan Hill with high praise from both his former and new employers. “He’s always been a rocksolid cop; he is respected
HIGH SCHOOL PRIDE Members of the Sobrato High School marching band participated in this year’s Holiday Lights Parade in downtown Morgan Hill on Saturday, Dec. 1.
Holiday season shines Crowds gathered in downtown Morgan Hill Saturday Dec. 1 for the 2018 Holiday Lights parade. The annual event, put on by Kiwanis Morgan Hill, is a time-honored tradition that culminates with Santa leading the crowd in his Magic Ship to the ceremonial tree lighting.
This year the event coincided with the Jewish holiday of Hanukah, officially Dec. 2-9, and included a menorah lighting. The tree and menorah were lit simultaneously when Santa and Mayor Steve Tate pushed a button together during the ceremony.
Police recover MH man’s scammed $50K VICTIM SENT CASH FOR ‘ADVANCE FEE LOTTERY’ FRAUD Michael Moore Editor
Morgan Hill Police recently recovered a local victim’s $50,000-plus loss in an “advance fee lottery scam.” Authorities say such a resolution is rare in this common fraud scheme.
Police cautioned citizens—particularly the elderly and vulnerable— to be aware of red flags so they don’t fall prey to such scams in the first place. In November, a relative of an 80-year-old Morgan Hill man called the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office to report that the elderly man had fallen victim to a recent scam attempt, according to Deputy District Attorney Cherie Bourlard. The victim had been
contacted on the phone by an unknown suspect who claimed the man had won $2 million in a lottery or sweepstakes prize. To claim the prize, the caller said, the Morgan Hill man had to pay an advance amount of $54,000 to cover fees and taxes, Bourlard explained. As instructed by the suspect, the victim sent the amount in a cashier’s check to someone in Southern California, who then forwarded the
money to an account in New York, according to Bourlard. The victim realized the next day that this was likely a scam, but it was too late as he unsuccessfully asked his bank to stop payment on the $54,000 cashier’s check, Bourlard said. The check had already been cashed. As soon as the victim’s family member called the D.A.’s office, prosecutors recommending reporting the fraud to the Morgan
Hill Police Department, Bourlard said. The victim reported the crime and it was assigned to Det. Joseph Burdick to investigate and “follow the money.” “He did an intense, immediate investigation” to find out where the victim’s $54,000 went, Bourlard said of Burdick. The Morgan Hill detective learned the Southern California woman who ➝ Scam, 11

MHUSD aids Camp Fire victims DISTRICT GIVES DESKS, SEATS FOR STUDENTS IN NEW SCHOOL Staff report
MHUSD
When former Live Oak High School principal Lloyd Webb, now superintendent of Durham School District, was faced with an unexpected influx of students displaced by the devastating Northern California fires, he knew just who to call for help. In need of chairs and tables for students from Paradise School District, which lost two elementary schools in the aftermath of the Camp Fire, Webb reached out to his brother Glen, MHUSD’s director of curriculum and instruction. Lloyd Webb estimated that he was in need of 250 primary level seats and 200 seats and tables for grades 7-12 to house students displaced by the Paradise fire. Almost immediately, MHUSD facilities and maintenance staff assessed the district’s surplus furniture and began sorting through and loading what
they could onto trucks to deliver to Durham. On Nov. 19, MHUSD deployed a convoy of seven trucks full of more than 500 school desks and chairs to Chico. “I express my sincerest gratitude on behalf of every student impacted by this utter devastation for MHUSD’s concern for our students’ well-being,” Lloyd Webb said. “The generosity demonstrated toward these kids is incredibly profound.” Two other towns—Concow and Magalia—also burned to the ground, and the furniture will be made available to any school set up to receive displaced students. “It is difficult to fathom the challenges and trauma schools have in the midst of such tragedy,” said Morgan Hill Superintendent Steve Betando. “Our staff jumped at the chance to help any way they could.” Butte County public schools are scheduled to reopen Dec. 3. “The focus is on helping students displaced by this tragedy return to normalcy,” Betando said. “The hard work is just beginning.”
A HELPING HAND Morgan Hill Unified School District staff load up a truck with desks and chairs headed
to Durham School District to help students of displaced families due to the Butte County fires.
Police investigate weekend shooting Staff report
Morgan Hill Police are investigating a late-night shooting that occurred in the city’s downtown this past weekend. No injuries were reported in the altercation that took place in front
of The Hill Bar & Grill, 17330 Monterey Road, according to police. About 1:44am Dec. 1, Morgan Hill police officers were dispatched to the downtown bar on a report of shots fired, reads a press release from MHPD. Officers arrived and began
investigating, and learned a dark-colored SUV had been driving through the downtown and stopped in the street on Monterey Road near the front of The Hill. The occupants of the SUV and several subjects standing outside on the sidewalk had some kind of
verbal interaction, police said. One of the occupants of the SUV produced a handgun and fired several shots. One of the bullets struck a vehicle parked nearby, but no injuries were reported. The SUV then fled the area and was last seen
traveling south on Monterey Road, police said. MPHD officers interviewed a number of witnesses at the scene and obtained surveillance video footage from downtown businesses, according to police. Detectives are investigating the incident
and are asking anyone who might have witnesses the shooting to call MHPD. Anyone with information about the Dec. 1 shooting can call MHPD Det. Kathleen Price at (669) 253-4985 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 947-7867.

THE COUNCIL RACE MOVES OUT OF RECOUNT TERRITORY Jaqueline McCool Reporter
The race for the District D City Council seat remained tight for weeks following the Nov. 6 election. Now, nearly a four weeks after the election, with 99 percent of votes counted by the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, John McKay had cemented a lead of 45 votes as of Dec. 3. McKay and opponent Julie Makrai Hutcheson had been in recount territory for two weeks following the election. Then after nearly a month of vote-counting, McKay had enough ballots to get him past the 25-vote margin that would have required a manual recount. When polls closed on Nov. 6, Hutcheson held an 18-vote lead over McKay. In the days and weeks following, McKay pulled ahead, with his lead jumping between 18 and 26 votes. With 1 percent of vote left to count, McKay was

MORGAN HILL POLICE: EVIDENCE FOUND AT SUSPECT’S HOME Staff report
Acting on a tip, Morgan Hill Police investigated a report of child pornography and arrested an 18-year-old suspect Nov. 29, authorities said. Officers received information from an
unidentified source that a Morgan Hill resident had been downloading child pornography, according to MHPD. During the ensuing investigation, officers developed credible evidence and obtained a search warrant. The warrant was served at an apartment on Cosmo Avenue on Nov. 29. Detectives contacted the occupants of the residence and searched the home. Multiple items of child pornography were
located at the apartment and seized as evidence, according to police. Arrested was Angel Camarillo, 18, of Morgan Hill, police said. He was taken into custody without incident, and booked at Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of possession of child pornography. Anyone with additional information about this incident can call MHPD Det. Chris Woodrow at (669) 253-4895 or the anonymous tip line 408.947-STOP (7867).

Re: ‘Parish, Romani to play at the next level’
New points of view
T
he November election was historic for Morgan Hill—the first council members to be elected from districts rather than by all city voters. The council members not only have new sets of constituents but also represent the rich diversity of our city and our state—a diversity that is not always reflected in public bodies. Politics is about issues, policies and results, but it also is, whether we like it or not, about appearances. So it is meaningful that three people elected to the council on Nov.6 were all people of color: Rich Constantine is our first black mayor, John McKay is of South Korean descent and Yvonne Martínez-Beltrán is a Latina, specifically Mexican-American. Race and ethnicity were not issues in the hard-fought campaign, as candidates rightfully campaigned on issues rather than personal characteristics. But the voters’ choices, we think, offer up a welcoming and positive image of our community to the world at large. One of the two council members whose terms expire in 2020, Rene Spring, adds diversity as the city’s first openly gay council member. Veteran council member Larry Carr is now the longest-serving elected official on the dais. His current term also expires in 2020. Growth and development are big issues in the city, and new council members McKay and Martinez-Beltran bring important experience here from their years on the city’s Planning Commission. There will be tough and potentially divisive issues facing the council in the years ahead—annexations, affordable housing, homelessness and the High Speed Rail route, to name a few. Each of these issues will have different impacts on different neighborhoods, and it will be interesting to see how long council members retain their citywide perspectives while responding to parochial concerns from their specific districts. The new district representation had little
visible impact on the 2018 campaign, as candidates and voters emphasized citywide issues. Voters also didn’t shy away from approving new local taxes. They supported continuing the county sales tax, and expressed their resounding preference for a hotel tax increase and a cannabis business tax program.
The voters’ choices, we think, offer up a welcoming and positive image of our community to the world at large. With the passage of Measure H, the city’s transient occupancy, or hotel, tax will increase from 10 to 11 percent. Also, nearly 80 percent of city voters demonstrated their clear preference for a cannabis business tax in the city. It remains to be seen if the new council interprets this vote as a mandate for a city ordinance to grant the first licenses for cannabis sales and manufacture for commercial use. Outgoing Mayor Steve Tate offered steady leadership steady in his 12 years on the dias, and Constantine will have a unique role moving forward: He will be the only council member with a citywide constituency. The new mayor’s 10-point plan for the city is to advocate for affordable housing, ensure sensible growth, improve traffic, preserve and create city parks, address homelessness, fix city streets, improve local internet speed and access, promote a sustainable community, keep schools safe and fully funded and require government accountability and transparency. “The things I talked about during the campaign are definitely the things I’m going to be focusing on,” he told the Times. The city will be watching.

Goats stolen from north MH field OWNER OFFERS ‘GENEROUS REWARD’ FOR ANIMALS’ RETURN Michael Moore Editor
get to the trailer (and) let our guardian dog out,” Allen said. He added that the family does not know exactly how many goats were stolen because they keep their herds in two different locations, the field on Richmond being one. The Allen family filed a report with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s Sgt. Rich Glennon told the Times that the theft occurred between Nov. 23 and Nov. 25. The suspect or suspects cut through a locked gate leading into the Allen family’s field, and destroyed a corral that contained the animals that are now missing. Sheriff’s deputies completed a report for vandalism, grand theft and theft of a vehicle or trailer, Glennon said.
Brian Allen added that his wife, Christine, saw their stolen livestock trailer when she was on her way home Nov. 26, parked on East Main Avenue between U.S. 101 and Butterfield Boulevard. She reported the recovery of the trailer to Morgan Hill Police. Green Goat Landscapers has been owned and operated by the Allen family of Morgan Hill since 2014, Brian Allen said. He owns the company with his son Daniel. Christine and Daniel’s wife work for the family business as well. Anyone with information about the theft can call the sheriff’s office at (408) 8084400. Green Goat Landscaping can be reached at (408) 427-5945.

Someone stole scores of goats from a farm in unincorporated Morgan Hill just after Thanksgiving, according to authorities. The owner of the goats, which are essential to a local family’s landscaping business, is offering a “generous reward” for information leading to the animals’ recovery. The suspect or suspects also stole the farm owner’s livestock trailer, which was
recovered on a public street in Morgan Hill Nov. 26. At least 20, and possibly up to 60, goats were stolen from Green Goat Landscapers on Richmond Avenue in north Morgan Hill, according to the company’s coowner Brian Allen. The theft is a “huge loss” for the family business—a landscaping service that uses goats to cut back vegetation for fire prevention and weed abatement purposes. All of the stolen goats were pregnant at the time of the theft and are due to give birth in February, Allen said. He estimated the animals are collectively worth about $10,000. “They stole our trailer, damaged our water tanks to

New captain praised for leadership New Captain, 1 by his peers and his leadership,” said San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan, who has worked with Kokesh since they both joined the department more than 27 years ago. “He’s got a career to be proud of here, and a great opportunity in what he’s chasing up there in Morgan Hill.” Kokesh’s hiring in Morgan Hill ends a statewide recruitment effort led by consultant Teri Black of Teri Black and Company. The city council hired Black to search for candidates and recruit a new captain shortly after longtime Morgan Hill Police Capt. Jerry Neumayer retired in June, after 20 years with the MHPD. During

compared to about $17 million for MHPD. San Bernardino PD employs about 450 full-time staff (including dispatch and police support staff ), while MHPD employs about 63 people. The City of San Bernardino’s population is about 209,000, compared to less than 45,000 for Morgan Hill. Kokesh’s background in a larger city with “more entrenched crime problems” will be a significant plus for MHPD, Swing said. “He’ll bring that experience to Morgan Hill to strengthen many of the already successful programs we have, and make them even more successful,” Swing said. “He will bring those ideas and experience,
and see what works for us and see what is applicable.” Violent crime, for example, is a bigger problem in San Bernardino than it is in Morgan Hill. In 2016, 62 homicides were reported in San Bernardino, according to the FBI. Zero murders were reported in Morgan Hill that year. The new captain’s experience responding to and helping to investigate the Dec. 2, 2015 mass shooting at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center—the largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001—is also unique to Morgan Hill. Even though these types of incidents are uncommon and hopefully will not occur in Morgan Hill, Swing said Kokesh’s experience with
such a “major critical incident” will bring knowledge of how to efficiently collaborate with other law enforcement and emergency medical agencies if needed. Kokesh said in a statement, “I am incredibly grateful to be joining the Morgan Hill team and truly honored to have the opportunity to serve alongside the men and women of the Morgan Hill Police Department.” MHPD staff did not immediately know what Kokesh’s salary will be, but the city’s website says a first-year police captain in Morgan Hill earns about $11,000 per month, or about $132,000 per year. MHPD is authorized for a total of 41 sworn officer positions as of July 1, 2019.

CRIME
Lottery scammers prey on elderly Scam, 1 received the Morgan Hill man’s payment had also recently fallen victim to the same scam. The woman, also a senior citizen, told police that she was contacted by someone who claimed she had won a prize. The suspect told her that in order to claim her winnings, once the $54,000 from the Morgan Hill man cleared her account, she should send $51,000 worth of cashier’s checks— via overnight FedEx— to a person in New York, Bourlard explained. The suspect told her to send the remaining $3,000 to another unidentified individual. The woman said she had ultimately been scammed out of about $250,000, and in the recent case she did not know who sent her the $54,000 or that the sender was also a victim.
Bourlard said victims such as the Southern California woman are often used by “international criminals” as “money mules” to perpetrate the fraud and avoid identification. The woman, who filed a police report after she realized she too had been scammed, did not know she was being used to further an illegal scheme. The advance fee scam architects often allow their money mules to keep a portion of the scammed cash and forward the remainder to another mule, and so forth until the bulk of the cash ends up in the hands of an overseas suspect. “She was an unwitting money mule; she didn’t understand the illicit purpose for which she was wiring the money,” Bourlard said. The woman cooperated with police and shared her bank records with Burdick.
DON’T BE A VICTIM The DA’s Office offers the following advice to prevent being scammed: • All bona fide sweepstakes do not require money up front; • Companies like Publishers Clearing House never contact winners by telephone or email— only by U.S. mail; • If you’ve never entered a sweepstakes, then you should not be a winner.
After identifying the account in New York to which the woman in Southern California sent the money, Burdick obtained a search warrant. He determined the account belonged to an employee at a New York law firm, and was able to seize $44,595 of the Morgan Hill man’s money from the bank account, Bourlard said. The woman in New York, who had received the Morgan Hill victim’s money by way of the Southern California victim, told police that distant relatives had contacted her to receive the money and hold onto it for them, Bourlard said. She returned the remaining balance to the Santa Clara County D.A.’s office, for a total of $51,000. Morgan Hill police returned this amount to the victim in Morgan Hill, authorities said. Authorities have declined to prosecute any known parties in the Morgan Hill case because the “money mules…did not appear to have sufficient knowledge of the underlying criminal enterprise to warrant a prosecution,” Bourlard said. Still, Bourlard—who works in the D.A.’s Elder Fraud Unit—was ecstatic that local police helped the Morgan Hill man recover most of his initial
If you have sent money, and realize you have been scammed, immediately call your bank or wiring company to see if the transfer of funds can be reversed. —D.A.’S OFFICE, ELDER FRAUD UNIT loss. Most victims do not recover their cash in such advance fee scams. “I was excited about this case because it was reported immediately, (and) it gave Det. Burdick the opportunity to serve these intense search warrants and recover the money,” Bourlard said. Bourlard advised that anyone who falls victim to such scams should report the crime to police as soon as they figure out they have been duped, as the longer the fraud goes unreported, the less likely the victim’s money can be recovered. The D.A.’s Elder Fraud Unit also offered the following tips to recognize the advance fee lottery scam and avoid becoming a victim: • All bona fide sweepstakes do not require money up front; • Companies like Publishers Clearing House never contact winners by telephone or email. Their policy is to contact winners is by way of U.S. mail; • If you’ve never entered
a sweepstakes, then you should not be a winner; If you have already been contacted by a scammer and/or paid money in an advance fee scam: • Confirm what is being told to you by trying to contact the company by independent means. Ask for the name of the company. Call law enforcement or the D.A.’s Office to see if this is legitimate; • If you have sent money and realize you have been scammed, immediately call your bank or wiring company to see if the transfer of funds can be reversed; • The criminals behind this scam are generally offshore, utilizing local money mules to insulate themselves from detection. Thus, call your local law enforcement agency or the D.A.’s Elder Fraud Unit Hotline at 1-855-DAElder (1-855-323-5337) to report the crime; • Others can report their suspicions about an elder being victimized to the county’s Adult Protective Services Agency at
1-800-414-2002. Reports can be confidential.
Scam reports common in MH
Burdick said victims regularly call Morgan Hill police to report similar advance fee scams in Morgan Hill. “We do get reports of these pretty often—on average, one to three a month,” Burdick said. The cases range from misdemeanors—less than $900 scammed from the victim—to felonies where thousands of dollars have been stolen. Recovery of the victim’s money is rare in his experience, too, Burdick said. “I have never recovered the money before (in an advance fee scam investigation), but in this case we were happy to intercept it,” said the detective. In an ongoing effort to get the word out and ensure elderly residents are equipped to avoid being scammed, Morgan Hill police officers offer educational seminars for the community’s senior citizens, Burdick added.

If you see a suspicious person in your neighborhood, call the police immediately...Working together we can keep these thieves out of Morgan Hill. —MHPD
DOORSTEP DELIVERY THEFTS RISE DURING WINTER HOLIDAYS Staff report
‘Tis the season for doorstep package thefts and the Morgan Hill Police Department’s annual sting operation to arrest thieves who want to steal Christmas from local residents. Throughout the winter holiday season, local police will deploy decoy packages on random doorsteps in Morgan Hill. The fake packages will be equipped with GPS trackers and motion sensors to locate and arrest those who attempt to steal them, according to a press release from Morgan Hill police. Home surveillance videos on social media
commonly depict the thieves who walk up to a front door and take packages off the porch before the homeowner even realizes they have been delivered. With online shopping becoming more common during the holidays, the problem will continue to grow if nothing is done, according to the MHPD press release. Morgan Hill residents can protect themselves from these easy thefts by making sure there is nothing for suspects to steal, police said. Officers offer the following tips to fend off any porch pillagers: • Use safe pickup sites like Amazon Locker; • Request a signature at delivery or have a friendly neighbor pick up your package; • Make sure you are signed up for delivery alerts so you know when your package has arrived;
• If possible, use your work address rather than your home for deliveries; • Doorbell and security cameras may not deter all thieves, but they can capture footage that may help police. The Morgan Hill Police Department’s bait package operation will continue throughout the holiday season. “We are committed to preventing thefts and arresting the thieves when they strike,” reads the MHPD press release. “If you see a suspicious person in your neighborhood, call the police immediately. Please provide our dispatchers with suspect descriptions, license plate information and direction of travel. Working together we can keep these thieves out of Morgan Hill.” The police department’s non-emergency phone number is (408) 779-2101.

Police awarded $43K traffic grant STATE GRANT TOTALS $43,000 Staff report
The Morgan Hill Police Department has received a state grant to help pay for traffic education and more enforcement of traffic violations on the city’s streets. The $43,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety will pay for a yearlong traffic safety program intended to educate the public on safe roadway habits and to deter people from violating traffic laws and
practicing unsafe behaviors that can lead to injuries and deaths. “We are delighted to have received this grant award,” Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing said. “Through proactive enforcement, checkpoints and education and outreach, we will work toward taking impaired drivers off our streets and make Morgan Hill a safer community for our residents and visitors.” The grant will fund various education and enforcement activities for the 2019 federal fiscal year, including: • DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols to take
suspected alcohol and drug-impaired drivers— and those who are unlicensed or driving with a revoked/suspended license—off the road • Traffic safety education presentations for youth and community members about distracted, impaired and teen driving, and bicycle/pedestrian safety • Patrols at intersections with increased incidents of pedestrian and bike collisions • Motorcycle safety operations in areas with high rider volume and where higher number of motorcycle crashes occur
Education and enforcement go hand in hand helping change behaviors that cause devastating crashes.
—RHONDA CRAFT • Speeding, red light and stop sign enforcement • Compilation of DUI “Hot Sheets” identifying repeat DUI offenders • Specialized DUI and drugged-driving training to identify and apprehend suspected impaired drivers. In 2016, 3,623 people were killed in crashes throughout California, a 7 percent increase from
2015, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Also in 2016, 867 pedestrians were killed on California roadways—a nearly 33 percent increase from 2012. Along with education about the growing dangers of distracting technologies like phones and drug-impaired driving, the grant funding will provide
opportunities to combat these dangerous and illegal behaviors in Morgan Hill, according to authorities. “Almost all crashes are preventable,” Office of Traffic Safety director Rhonda Craft said in a press release. “Education and enforcement go hand in hand helping change behaviors that cause devastating crashes.”

ON POINT Sobrato High senior point guard Kianna Maldia has signed a letter of intent to play at Sonoma State University. Maldia recently scored her 1,000th career point, a milestone moment for a player whose dynamic play helped lead the Bulldogs to the CCS playoffs last year. COLLEGE SIGNINGS
Maldia realizes dream FOUR SOBRATO ATHLETES ARE SIGNED FOR NEXT LEVEL emanuel lee Sports Editor
Serious business
“West Valley is a really strict program and are all about getting their athletes to college,” she said. “They believed in me and then helped me envision this and make it a reality for me. They told me it could happen. I had the thinking before that I would love to play (in college), but I didn’t have the right tools and people to help me to make it happen. (Bramlett) likes to make sure the college really wants his players before he wants them to contact us.” Although a lack of height can be a limiting factor in basketball, it has actually had the opposite effect for Maldia’s game. At 5-foot-2, Maldia takes the court as one of the shortest players on the court. Since she routinely goes up against bigger players, Maldia recognized every part of her game would have to be a little finer. In conversations with Shayewitz, Maldia knows her overall awareness and decisionmaking must be at a high level for her to succeed.
Chris Mora
Kianna Maldia has always had a strong belief in herself when it comes to playing basketball. That confidence has carried the Sobrato High senior to earning a scholarship to play at Sonoma State University. Maldia actually returned her signed letter of intent in person to Sonoma State coach Rich Shayewitz on Nov. 24 because she had already been scheduled to be on campus that day. Maldia was one of four Sobrato High athletes—with Helena Batey, Sam Parish and Bella Romani being the others— who have signed their letter of intents to play at a four-year school (the Times posted articles on Batey, Parish and Romani in previous editions). For Maldia, the handing of the letter of intent document finalized a process that saw her realize a dream to play for a four-year program. Even though other programs expressed interest in Maldia, Sonoma State had built a relationship with her and shown the most interest. “I’d rather go to a college that really wants me because I know I can trust them,” she said. “I can continue to build a relationship with them and into the future. It was perfect.” Maldia got on Sonoma State’s radar when she competed in one of its camps near the end of her
sophomore year. Maldia plays for the West Valley Basketball Club, and one of her teammates at the time was attending the camp. Little did Maldia know that her decision to attend the camp—her first college camp— would eventually lead to a scholarship down the road. “I thought it sounded interesting so I decided to try it out,” she said. “I did a bunch of drills and I ended up loving it. All of the girls were fun to play with and it was a great experience.” Maldia credits playing for West Valley and coach Bob Bramlett as key to the recruiting process.
ADVANCING Sobrato’s Sam Parish (Santa Clara University) and Bella Romani (Dominican University) have signed letter of intents to play at four-year schools. Both were instrumental in the Bulldogs’ CCS run a year ago. “He (Shayewtiz) made a point to make sure my cognitive thinking has to be up there because I’m shorter and have a height disadvantage,” she said. “(Shayewitz) said he liked my style of play and liked the way I lead.” Maldia grew up playing with two older brothers, and she’ll be the first in the family to earn a scholarship to play sports at a four-year university. On the court, Maldia has already gotten off to a nice start, as she went over the 1,000 career point mark at Sobrato in the second game of the season, a 65-31 win over
Andrew Hill on Nov. 27. Maldia has high hopes for the final season of her high school career, as Sobrato has some talented players who should improve as the season goes along.
Young but growing
“We’re young, but we have a lot of good games coming up before league, which should help us grow as a team,” she said. “If we really want it, we’ll make it happen (contending for a league championship and making a deep Central Coast Section playoff run).” Maldia pointed to the
improvement of Angeline Madriaga, a junior guard whose confidence has skyrocketed from last season. “She’s really confident with her shot and overall shooting,” Maldia said. “She’s not afraid to do anything, and that’s what we need from everyone to fulfill our potential.” If Maldia’s teammates need any inspiration, they can look at her as proof of how far one can go on determination, grit and perseverance. Those three traits —along with some natural ability and a greaet attitude—have gotten Maldia this far.

not try to do everything by herself. I’m excited to see how she improves and then becomes that great player who makes everyone around her better.” Sophomore Audrey Reed, a returning wing, continues to impress with her ability to never tire out during a match. Reed is a twotime participant in the CIF State Cross Country Championships and this past season won the BVAL title. Her indefatigable ways help the team in several areas. “Audrey looks really good this year,” Vasquez said. “Her fitness level is key. Whether it’s the first or 80th minute, she’s running the same and stomping down the field. She’s able to run the whole 80 minutes and it doesn’t even look like she’s tired. I don’t think I subbed her out once out of a game last year, and she scored some big goals for us. She’s incredible.” In addition to Reed
and Lema—who made the national team in her age group and had a terrific summer and fall club season— Vasquez pointed to the play of junior Maria Lopez and sophomores Bella Fiorentino and Bethany Urrabazo. Vasquez said he’s plenty excited about Fiorentino and Urrabazo, who form a rocksolid tandem on the backline. “Bella is tough, quick and fast,” Vasquez said. “She has the skills, technical ability and the knowledge of the game. Bethany is a very physical and rugged defender. She wins a lot of balls in the air for us. For both players, along with all of the younger girls, it’ll be about trying to get them to communicate on the field, especially in the back. We want to get the young players to use their voice in a positive way. The communication in the back (line) is going to be key for us.” Urrabazo echoed similar sentiments, with her goal to

After winning the Blossom Valley Athletic League’s Santa Teresa Division championship and a Central Coast Section playoff game last season, the Live Oak High girls soccer team was promoted to the Mount Hamilton Division this season, which consists of A-level teams. Can the Acorns hold their own, or even contend for a league title? Only time will tell, but know this: coach Tony Vasquez feels the talent is there for the squad to more than hold its own against tougher competition. To accomplish that, the Acorns will have to coalesce fast. They graduated a halfdozen senior starters from
last year’s team, so the heavily dominated sophomore and junior roster will have to fill the void. Everyone believes the pieces are in place for that to happen. Even though Live Oak graduated a lot of talent, it returns its most dynamic playmaker in sophomore forward Karlie Lema, who blazed onto the scene last season and wreaked havoc on the opposition. Vasquez said he can’t wait to see how Lema develops in the next phase of her game. “One of the things I really want to see from her to get to that next step is making her teammates better,” he said. “All great players have the ability to make their teammates better, to help them score goals or get assists and help them raise their game. I really challenged her in that area. Last year in the playoffs they tripleteamed her, so she has to be smart about that and

Urrabazo has always been a physical player; however, in recent years she’s improved her speed, a byproduct from training with some of the school’s track runners. “Developing some speed has really helped me on the field to win (50-50) balls,”
she said. “Being a sophomore, I have a feel for the field and know a lot more about the game and am able to spot things out and help the new people on the team.” Lopez, a center midfielder, has the ability to impact the flow of the game with her ability to make plays.

Nick was born in Los Angeles, California but grew up in Gilroy, California where he was raised by his grandparents Candido and Sidelia Estrada. He attended Elliott Elementary School, Brownell Junior High School and Gilroy High School where he graduated in 1979. Following graduation, Nick left home to serve in the U.S. Army. After serving his time in the Army, he lived in North Carolina for a while but managed to make his way back home to Gilroy. When back in Gilroy, he worked several jobs but eventually found a home at Nissan of Gilroy that he absolutely loved and where he was blessed to work with an amazing group of people. Nick loved many things but music and dancing by far were his favorites. So much so, he even started his own disco dance group back in high school. He also had a big love for sports and was a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants and Golden State Warriors. Nick was a very humble man with a very big heart. He loved his family and treasured his friends and with that he will be truly missed and hold a place in many hearts. If you would like to attend services for Nicholas John (Estrada) Green details are as follows: A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, December 13, 2018 from 11am-1pm at Habing Family Funeral Home located at 129 4th Street, Gilroy, CA 95020. The burial will take place immediately following the Memorial Service at Mount Hope Memorial Park located at 220-398 Spring Avenue in Morgan Hill. Nick’s sister Mandy will be hosting a potluck style reception after the services at the Veterans Memorial Building located at 74 W 6th St, Gilroy, CA 95020 and would like to extend the invite to all that would like to attend.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP. com, using the file number assigned to this case 201800637. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

sale.
