LAFCO rejects Catholic school again COMMISSION VOTES 5-2 TO DENY CITY’S REQUEST

COUNTY PLANS ST. LOUISE TAKEOVER SOUTH COUNTY HOSPITAL TO BECOME PUBLIC IN MARCH Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Santa Clara County emerged this month as the sole bidder for O’Connor and Saint Louise hospitals, clearing the way for the county to buy the two private hospitals for $235 million, County

Executive Jeff Smith disclosed Monday. “We are really excited,” Smith told the Morgan Hill Times. “And, we’re ready to go.” “There is nothing that can derail it,” he said. In an interview with the Times, Smith said the county, anticipating this month’s news, has been laying the groundwork for its expanded health care system for weeks, and now will be on a fast track, which Smith hopes

will ensure a smooth transition to a three-hospital system in less than three months. Once the deal closes, the 129-year-old O’Connor Hospital in San Jose and the 29-year-old Saint Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy will join the 142-year-old Valley Medical Center in a significantly expanded publicly owned and managed health care system. Smith said the DePaul Urgent Care Center in

north Morgan Hill—site of the original Saint Louise hospital—is part of the purchase and will continue as an urgent care center and medical offices. He expects the county to tear down the old hospital building, which has been vacant, and anticipates expanding skilled nursing care facilities in Morgan Hill. The new hospital system will increase the number of hospital beds by nearly 80 percent, increase

medical staff by 70 percent and boost total employees by nearly 40 percent, according to the county. Smith said the county has already created more than 2,000 new positions, ready to be filled initially by existing O’Connor and Saint Louise employees, who will be hired as “provisional employees in permanent positions.” He is gearing up the county’s human resources ➝ St. Louise, 8

A Catholic high school has been talked about in the Morgan Hill for nearly a decade, but the Diocese of San Jose has run into a series of setbacks getting its 40 acres of land—their preferred site of the future school—annexed into the city. The latest of these hurdles is the denial of an annexation proposal Dec. 5 by the county commission charged with authorizing city boundary line extensions. The school site sits outside of the city’s Urban Services Area, so it must be annexed in order to receive city services like water, sewer and public safety. The area the city attempted to annex sits north of Tennant Avenue and east of Condit Road. Plans to annex the high school site were submitted by the City of Morgan Hill to the Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCO) for a second time, resulting in a Dec. 5 ruling at the committee meeting. Committee staff had recommended in their report that LAFCO commissioners deny the city’s request, because staff believed the plans did not comply with committee standards. The annexation proposal failed ➝ LAFCO, 4

County votes to expand airport SUPERVISORS SET IN MOTION PLAN TO CLOSE REID-HILLVIEW AND EXPAND SAN MARTIN Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Over the next decade, the skies above San Martin are likely to see steady and dramatic increases in light-plane traffic. A 3-2 decision by the Santa Clara County Board

of Supervisors Dec. 4 authorized a long-term plan to close the Reid-Hillview Airport in east San Jose and make substantial investments in upgrading and expanding the San Martin Airport, 24 miles south. Mike Wasserman, the supervisor who represents San Martin and the South County, including Morgan Hill and Gilroy, joined Board President Joe Simitian, who represents northwest Santa Clara County, in voting against the proposal. Supervisors Dave Cortese,

Cindy Chavez and Ken Yeager all voted for the airport consolidation plan. The supervisors’ decision begins a long process “to determine the futures of both airports, the health and safety of residents in the surrounding areas and the use of federal and local funds,” according to the county statement. The Reid-Hillview Airport would continue to operate until at least 2031, when federal grants expire, freeing up the 180

acres of land for non-aviation uses. The plan also would begin exploring a shift of San Jose State University’s aviation program from Reid-Hillview to San Martin. The board directed county staff to develop detailed plans for improving and expanding the San Martin Airport while negotiating leases at ReidHillview Airport to make land available for future commercial development. “The potential revenue

for the county in considering alternative uses for Reid-Hillview is too significant to ignore,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese. “But with this option, operations can continue at Reid-Hillview as we look at ways to improve the San Martin Airport.” One impact of the airport consolidation plan, in addition to upgrades to physical facilities and runways, would be a significant increase in air ➝ Airport, 12

Citing “work and personal obligations” as the genesis for her early departure, trustee Teresa Murillo resigned from the Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Board of Education in a self-penned Dec. 7 notification. Murillo, a first-term trustee who ran unopposed for the Trustee Area 7 seat in 2016, has two years remaining on her four-year term. Her resignation came almost exactly a month after the Nov. 6 election, in which five new trustees were elected to the MHUSD board. Her last day on the board will be Jan. 31, 2019. “It is with difficulty that I must resign as a trustee from the Morgan HIll Unified School District,” Murillo wrote. “I am certain that you, as a new board will continue the support of schools toward great improvements. I also feel very confident that you will choose an excellent new

DEBIT

board member to finish the remaining two years of my term as there are several excellent potential candidates from Area 7.” With Murillo’s resignation, the school board—which will swear in the five new members at its Dec. 11 meeting— must decide whether to appoint a replacement or order a special election to let the voters decide who will finish out the last two years of the Trustee Area 7 seat. Murillo’s term expires December 2020. This marks the second time in the last two years and third in the last four years that a MHUSD board member has resigned before their term expired. Tom Arnett prematurely left the board after deciding to move out of town. In 2015, Amy Porter stepped down from the board under duress. Murillo addressed her departure letter to MHUSD Trustees and Superintendent Steve Betando. She also filed it with Santa Clara County Office of Education Superintendent Mary Ann Dewan, who accepted her resignation. In accordance with Education Code 5091(a),

the board has 60 days from the effective date of resignation to order an election or make a provisional appointment to fill the vacant seat. The 60-day time frame will end April 1, 2019. If the board chooses to appoint Murillo’s replacement, “the registered voters of the district may, within 30 days from the date of the appointment, petition for the conduct of a special election to fill the vacancy,” according to the school district staff report. If that happens, the TA7 seat would appear on the June 2019 ballot in an election that could cost as much as $345,000, according to staff. Since Murillo ran unopposed and there was no runner-up in the 2016 election, staff recommends an application process with interviews from a candidate pool. Murillo’s replacement must also reside within the Trustee Area 7 boundaries. “If the board orders an election. ...the district would pay a portion of the cost of an election, which would be approximately $65,000,” according to staff. “A stand-alone special election would cost the district approximately $450,000.”

MHPD: Drive sober during holidays CHECKPOINT SCHEDULED FOR DEC. 14 IN MORGAN HILL Staff report

Fresh Broccoli

Fresh Anise

REMAINING TRUSTEES TO DECIDE ON APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION

With the holiday season underway, police are reminding motorists to drive safely and soberly in order to reduce the risk of injury or death due to a collision—and avoid being arrested, jailed or fined. The Morgan Hill Police Department has been conducting “saturation patrols” on local roadways since Nov. 21, reads a Dec. 4 press release from the department. Morgan Hill officers will also conduct a DUI and driver’s license checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city limits from 8pm to 2am Friday night, Dec. 14. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the best opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving

deterrence and offer the greatest safety for officers and the public, police said. In addition to checking for driver impairment, officers at the checkpoint will ensure drivers have a valid license and are in compliance with the state vehicle code. MHPD’s DUI saturation patrols—in which extra officers are assigned at select times to enforce traffic safety— will continue through Jan. 1, 2019. These DUI enforcement efforts coincide with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s “Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving” campaign, which runs from Nov. 23 to Dec. 12. “The holidays are a time to enjoy the company of family and friends, but also a time to be extra careful on the roads,” MHPD Sgt. Ray Ramos said. “Sadly, the holiday season leads to an increase in drivers who shouldn’t

be driving. It’s important for us to let people know that if you feel different, you drive different.” Over the last three years, MHPD has arrested 810 drivers on suspicion of DUI and investigated 116 DUIrelated collisions that result in 57 injuries and five deaths, police said. During the 2017 Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, 99 people were killed and nearly 4,500 people were injured on California roads, according to authorities. Of those deadly crashes, nearly 35 percent involved alcohol. With holiday parties taking place frequently throughout the season, police urge revelers to plan ahead and make sure everyone has a sober ride home. “Even if you’ve had only one drink, play it safe and designate a sober driver or use a ride-share service to get home. If you plan on drinking, don’t plan on driving,” reads the press release.

Farmers, LAFCO at odds on farmland LAFCO, 1

of Morgan Hill—for a large portion of the Southeast Quadrant with a 5-2 vote. The city then submitted a request to annex only the land for the South County Catholic High School. The request was denied in June 2016. The original request was part of a plan to annex most of the Southeast Quadrant bound by Tennant Avenue to the south, Murphy Avenue to the west, Barrett Avenue to the north and abutting an agricultural field to the east. This land has been identified in the county’s agricultural plan as “prime agricultural land.” The request presented to the committee at the Dec. 5 meeting included 66 acres of land, nearly 40 of which would be used for the high school. Committee staff recommended denial of the annexation request based on several points of the plan they said violate LAFCO standards. The LAFCO staff report said there was land available within Morgan Hill city limits as an alternate site for the school; the annexation wouldn’t create logical city boundaries; there would be a significant impact to agricultural land; the city didn’t have the infrastructure to provide the public safety, sewer, water and storm drainage to the area; the plan isn’t consistent with the regional transportation plan; the city hasn’t annexed all of the unincorporated land still within the urban service area; and the plan wasn’t consistent with county policies. The Dec. 5 meeting was tense, with reports and

LAFCO

in a 5-2 vote, with Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman and Santa Clara Valley Water District Director John L. Varela voting to approve the city’s request. Morgan Hill and the LAFCO committee have a complicated history when it comes to the Catholic high school project and what is designated as the city’s “Southeast Quadrant.” Many of the commissioners at the Dec. 5 meeting brought up past decisions by the committee to deny the city’s annexation requests in the area that is mostly farmland. LAFCO is an appointed body of citizens and elected officials throughout the county. The committee’s mission is, “Encouraging orderly boundaries, discouraging urban sprawl, and preserving agricultural and open space lands.” The annexation is considered critical to the success of the Diocese’s plans for Catholic high school in Morgan Hill. The City Council voted in September with a 3-2 vote to send the plans to LAFCO for approval. Council members Rich Constantine and Rene Spring voted against the plans. Spring has marked his tenure by being an antigrowth advocate. Constantine previously said he could not vote to approve the plans because he did not feel it had been improved since the last time it was submitted, two years ago. In 2016, LAFCO denied an annexation request— also submitted by the City

REJECTED The proposed Catholic High School site, pictured in blue in the map above, is bound by Murphy, Barrett and Tennant avenues in southeast Morgan Hill. comments from LAFCO staff being contradicted by Morgan Hill city staff’s presentation. Commissioner Sergio Jimenez said, when attempting to make his decision, “You all are viewing things much differently.” A major topic of discussion was the designation of the parcels as “prime farmland.” Morgan Hill farmers made public comments about the quality of land in the annexation site and said it was not suitable for longterm farming use. George Chiala Jr. of Chiala Farms told the commission his family had trouble in the past farming on the land.

“That land isn’t good farmland—if you need data to prove that I can provide it,” said Chiala. “If we can’t do it, it’s going to be hard for somebody else to do it.” Still, many commissioners said it would be against LAFCO standards to approve the annexation. Commissioner Rob Rennie said the answer wasn’t black and white to him, but he didn’t feel Morgan Hill had the proper plans in place for the annexation. “These kind of annexation plans would be called sprawl,” Rennie said before eventually voting down the annexation plan.

While many of the commissioners saw the annexation request as the beginning of more outward growth in Morgan Hill, Wasserman thought the annexation would be the best way to preserve agricultural land. Wasserman told the rest of the commissioners that if the request was not approved, the Diocese would sell the land and the parcels would be used for individuals or families who build what is often referred to as “ranchettes” or “McMansions.” He thought mitigation that was planned for by the Diocese and the city—the two chief proponents of the

Catholic high school proposal—would be the best way to guarantee the land was used for agricultural purposes and not development. “I thought this was an opportunity to bring a school and protect ag land,” Wasserman told the Times. Communications and Engagement Manager for Morgan Hill, Maureen Tobin, told the Times that the city does not currently have any plans in place following the denial of the annexation request.

New red flags for state rail

LETTER

Trust the pros on Cordoba Center Professional geoscientists have generated voluminous geologic, hydrogeologic and geotechnical engineering information on the parcel of land proposed for development of the Cordoba Center mosque and cultural center on Monterey Road (at California Avenue) in San Martin. As a licensed (but now mostly retired) consulting professional geologist (PG) and engineering geologist (CEG), I have kept a watchful eye on this project ever since it came into the public view in 2006. As an integral part of my 40-year career I performed professional peer review services for several Bay Area cities (including Morgan Hill) and three counties (including Santa Clara) in the Bay Area, so I have reviewed hundreds of technical reports like the ones produced for the Cordoba Center property. First of all, it needs to be said that this parcel is probably one of the most thoroughly studied that I have seen in many years. While I may not have seen all of the reports generated in the study of this property, I have reviewed three engineering geology documents (Steven F. Connelly, CEG), two geotechnical engineering documents (Barry Milstone of Milstone Geotechnical), two hydrogeologic documents (Jeremy Wire of Geoconsultants, Inc.), and two environmental health documents (Michael Batz of Batz Environmental Consulting and Steven Hartsell of SR Hartsell Environmental Health Consulting). Additionally, I have reviewed reports and correspondence from the California Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Roger Briggs) and the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health (Ann Peden). Having spent an entire career in the geologic and geotechnical engineering profession, I have become very familiar with the quality of work performed by many dozens of such professionals,

including everyone of those individuals mentioned above. I personally know all of these professionals, and I hasten to mention that I hold each one of them in the highest regard. After reviewing project details in their reports, I have formed the opinion that the geologic, hydrogeologic and geotechnical engineering data generated for this parcel of land is of the highest quality one could expect in this region.

The...data generated for this parcel...is of the highest quality one could expect Which brings me to an important conclusion: The scientific and engineering data generated by these professionals solidly support the conclusions that the proposed development is compatible with the soil, geologic and groundwater conditions of the site. These professionals have shown that the project, as currently designed, complies with all of the requirements of the respective jurisdictional authorities. Living in this region, we are very aware that California is environmentally the most highly regulated state in the country, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. We should therefore be comfortably assured that all environmental geologic and hydrogeologic concerns with the project have been adequately addressed. Peter C. Anderson Morgan Hill

The messiest bit of unfinished business Gov. Jerry Brown will bequeath to successor Gavin Newsom is one of the outgoing governor’s pet projects: a north-south high-speed rail. One could even say it’s a hot mess, given the revelations of a new audit of the multibillion-dollar project’s first phase. That initial segment–100-plus miles of track in the mostly flat, sparsely populated San Joaquin Valley, from Chowchilla to an orchard near Shafter, north of Bakersfield–was supposed to be the easiest to design and build. However, State Auditor Elaine Howle told the Legislature that the High-Speed Rail Authority’s “flawed decision-making regarding the start of high-speed rail system construction in the Central Valley and its ongoing poor contract management for a wide range of high-value contracts have contributed to billions of dollars in cost overruns for completing the system.” Furthermore, even as costs soared, the state didn’t come close to meeting the initial 2017 deadline for completion of the segment specified in a 2010 federal grant. Howle told legislators it also won’t meet a 2022 deadline extension “unless…construction progresses twice as fast as it has to date,” adding, “Missing the deadline could expose the state to the risk of having to pay back as much as $3.5 billion in federal funds.” It wasn’t the first time that Howle and other independent analysts have criticized not only how the San Joaquin Valley stretch was proceeding, but also the project’s biggest issue: a lack of financing to extend it north to San Francisco and south to Los Angeles. Whenever track reaches that orchard near Shafter, the next phase is supposed to be connecting Chowchilla with San Jose by tunneling through the coastal mountains in the neighborhood of the Pacheco Pass along Highway 152 east of Gilroy. In theory, getting to San Jose would allow the system to begin carrying paying passengers. However, tunneling through the mountains will be expensive and the High-Speed Rail Authority hasn’t found a source of financing. Moreover, “blending” the bullet train with Caltrain and other commuter rail systems in Southern California would, as Howle points out, inevitably slow high-speed service. That, in turn, would make it nearly impossible to meet the 160-minute standard for trips between San Francisco and Los Angeles specified in the $9.95 billion state bond issue approved by voters more than a decade ago. It’s more than likely that the 2022 deadline for the San Joaquin segment won’t be met, either, exposing the state to federal sanctions. But even were it met, it would be a train to nowhere unless some way is found to extend it farther, embarrassing every politician involved with it. The need for a bullet train has never been adequately proven and its political cheerleaders have lowballed its costs from the onset, as Howle’s audit demonstrates anew. Dan Walters writes for CalMatters, a non-profit journalism project in Sacramento.

County adds two hospitals to system St. Louise, 1

need for an auction this month in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles. Verity and its hospitals in August filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, for the stated purpose of facilitating a court-supervised sale of some or all of the hospitals. Saint Louise Regional Hospital is located on the north side of Gilroy, and O’Connor Hospital is in San Jose, located less than two miles from Valley Medical Center, less than four miles from the center of downtown San Jose. Verity Health owns the two Santa Clara County hospitals, plus two in San Mateo County and two in Los Angeles. The company had posted no information or released any statement as of Dec. 10 about the sale of the two hospitals to Santa Clara County. Smith said Verity contacted his office last week, and notified him of the county’s successful offer. The O’Connor and Saint Louise employees will retain their jobs, but Smith said all union contracts with Verity Health will be voided, with the new employees represented by the current collective bargaining agreements already in place in Santa Clara County. The bankruptcy court will be deciding what money, if any, Saint Louise and O’Connor will receive in a pay-out of their pensions. Smith said the employees will enter the California Public Employees’ Retirement System as new employees, regardless of currently held seniority.

Barry Holtzclaw

staff and expects a new media relations team and additional administrative services to be in place once the deal closes in late February. Smith said patients at the two Verity-owned hospitals will see few immediate changes with the ownership change. “Patients will see the same nurses, the same staff doctors—they won’t see much if any change at all,” he said. He said the hospitals will accept all of the same health insurance carriers. Paul Lorenz, CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center since 2012, will lead the transition, after which two new sister hospitals will retain their names and identities under the expanded county umbrella. Smith also is well-positioned to manage hospital acquisitions: He has both medical and law degrees. The county executive said he expects a federal bankruptcy judge to finalize the county purchase on Dec.19, and the escrow period to close by the end of February. The county offered to buy the hospitals in late July, after Verity Health announced it was seeking suitors and one month before Verity filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In October, Santa Clara County’s offer of $235 million was identified as a “stalking horse bid” in a highly anticipated bidding race that never got out of the starting gates. A Dec. 5 deadline passed with no competing bids for the two Santa Clara County hospitals, eliminating the

St. Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy, pictured above, and O’Connor Hospital in San Jose.

He said the union contracts and pensions have to be different, because federal and state labor and pension laws differ between public and private employees. Smith said the county is talking with employees and unions, adding that “We will be speaking with the doctors, and tenants of the buildings” at the hospital campuses. The county is developing plans for the implementation of a new medical records system for all of its hospitals, called EPIC, and will updating equipment. By July, he anticipates that all employees will be

connected to the county payroll system. “We will have a whole lot of work to do behind the scenes,” he said, including creating a new financial systems that integrate the two hospitals with the Valley Medical Center system. The first-year costs in connection with the hospital purchase will be expensive—perhaps exceeding the purchase price of the two hospitals, Smith estimated. However, he said these expenses will be defrayed by income from the two hospitals. The county will sell “lease revenue bonds”

to finance the purchase, a mechanism already authorized by the Board of Supervisors. Smith described this as a kind of mortgage, for which payments would be about $15 million per year. Smith is optimistic about the financial health of the two hospitals, because Medicare reimbursement formulas provide more money for medical bills at publicly owned hospitals than for private hospitals. “Now that the future is more stable, we know there is never going to be a cloud over these hospitals, and there is going to be a stable owner,” said Smith.

“Then we can build the system back up and provide more services.” Verity Health System, created in late 2015, is a nonprofit healthcare system employing more than 6,000 in California. In 2015, the Catholic Daughters of Charity had sold the six hospitals to BlueMountain Capital Management, which owned Verity Health. Last year, a company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who also owns the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union-Tribune, bought the hedge fund’s healthcare division that owns Verity.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

We are very encouraged by the turnout and applaud Santa Clara County voters for their historic level of participation. —SHANNON BUSHEY

County certifies Nov. 6 local election results FIVE NEW MHUSD TRUSTEES TO JOIN BOARD, TWO NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS Scott Forstner Reporter

County election officials certified the results from the Nov. 6 election one month to the day, according to a Dec. 6 announcement from the Registrar of Voters. The final local turnout for the general election totaled 625,425 ballots cast, representing 70.61 percent of registered Santa Clara County voters, according to county statistics. The Registrar of Voters officially certifies the results once the canvass of the vote is completed in the 30 days following an election. During the canvass, all vote-by-mail, paper and electronic ballots cast at the Registrar of Voters’ office as well as at the early voting centers and all other polling places are added to the semi-official vote totals. Afterward, prior to certification, a 1 percent manual tally is conducted to confirm the accuracy of the machine-counted results. “We are very encouraged by the turnout and applaud Santa Clara County voters for their

for Murillo’s replacement. (That vote came after the Times print deadline.) In the Trustee Area 7 seat for the Santa Clara County Board of Education, incumbent Claudia Rossi won a second term. In the Trustee Area 3 race on the Gavilan Community College Joint District Board of Trustees, challenger Edwin Diaz was victorious and expected to be sworn in at that governing body’s Dec. 11 meeting. Incumbent Laura Perry ran unopposed in TA1, which covers the Morgan Hill area. The registrar’s official certified results also include local races for Morgan Hill mayor and city council, which will place three new faces on the five-person elected council. Rich Constantine, former council member for District B, will be the new Mayor of Morgan Hill, with about 47 percent of the votes cast in the Nov. 6 race. Planning Commissioner Yvonne MartínezBéltran will be the new council member for District B, winning over 52 percent of the vote. In a tight race for District D, John McKay won the seat with 37 percent of the vote.

STORE WILL RELOCATE TO SOUTH MORGAN HILL SHOPPING CENTER Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

The saga of BookSmart in Morgan Hill continues, and the independent bookstore’s optimistic owners say that’s a good thing. Facing customers’ bad debts, high rent and costs associated with moving from its longtime spot in downtown Morgan Hill, BookSmart has again decided to relocate.This time the store is moving on Jan.1 from its current location on East Dunne Avenue to a smaller space at 421 Vineyard Center. For the past 23 years, BookSmart has served as more than a bookstore. it’s also a place for the community to meet, relax and learn. Things changed in 2016, shortly after BookSmart had to move from its longtime home on Second Street as downtown Morgan Hill morphed into a restaurant and entertainment hub. Owners Brad Jones and Cinda Meister proceeded to 1295 E. Dunne Ave. The expense of the move, including renovations to the storefront, in addition to higher rent, forced Jones and Meister ring up about $250,000 in debt. "Many people in the community have generously contributed their time and money in an attempt to help, but in spite of these efforts, none of the avenues we pursued worked out,"

historic level of participation,” said Registrar of Voters Shannon Bushey, who certified the results. “We believed turnout might be as high as 70 percent, and voters exceeded our expectations.” None of the Morgan Hill Unified School District’s five trustee area races met the threshold to warrant an automatic recount. The closest of the five came in Trustee Area 2, where Morgan HIll Chamber of Commerce President John Horner edged executive Tara Bevington by 29 votes. A margin of 25 or fewer votes would have triggered a recount. Horner is joined by other election winners Vanessa Sutter (TA5), Wendy Sullivan (TA1) and Carol Gittens (TA4), as well as Heather Orosco, who ran unopposed in TA3. The five new MHUSD trustees were sworn prior to closed session for the Dec. 11 school board meeting. They were welcomed by current trustees Mary Patterson and Teresa Murillo—even though Murillo announced Dec. 7 she is resigning from her post with two years remaining. The remaining six board members were expected to decide later that same evening whether to appoint or hold an election

BookSmart will move to Vineyard Town Center as of Jan. 1, 2019. read a statement in a letter released by BookSmart. With the move to Vineyard Town Center on the south end of town, BookSmart will also modify its business model given that the new space is 75 percent smaller than its current location. BookSmart will eliminate the cafe and significantly curtail its toy section, and staff will be reduced to a couple of part-time workers. "When you step through the doors of our new store, BookSmart will have the look, the feel and the ambiance that you expect from every bookstore you have ever visited," read BookSmart's statement.

With fewer distractions, we can focus on the very best qualities that a bookstore can possess: books, the book-reading experience, and on you, the customer." Defying the online giant that is Amazon, along with large chains like Barnes and Noble, BookSmart fights on and hopes to remain competitive through convenience, a wide selection of books and customer service. BookSmart plans to offer a larger children's section, daily 20 percent discounts on indie next bestsellers, speedy special orders, event space and educator discounts, the store’s owners said.

County to expand San Martin airport Airport, 1

at Reid-Hillview, in particular. In 2006, Reid-Hillview housed 687 aircraft, compared to 478 today. In that same period, aircraft at the San Martin Airport has grown from 115 to 150. The supervisors’ decision directed staff to: • Approve a policy statement that the county will not apply for Airport Improvement Program grants for ReidHillview Airport and will make improvements funded by the General Fund that are required to operate Reid-Hillview safely • Direct the county executive to accept $1 million

traffic of the mosty small, privately owned piston-propellor planes and helicopters. Airnav.com reported an average of 91 flights per day in and out of San Martin in 2017-2018. The website reported that Reid-Hillview had 452 average daily flights per day in the same period. San Martin has two runways, Reid Hillview has four, according to the website. The county reported that general aviation trends show piston-propeller aircraft use to be on the decline in general, and

in FAA entitlement funding related to the airfield repaving project at San Martin Airport • Direct the county executive to apply for property releases at ReidHillview Airport from the FAA • Invite the City of San Jose to engage within the next two years in joint planning for both ReidHillview and the Eastridge areas, including alternative uses of ReidHillview after 2031 • Begin a transparent community engagement process, that considers consolidation of aviation operations and the 2006

master plan for the San Martin Airport • Develop a plan to implement improvements to ensure adequate traffic flow and safety on East San Martin Avenue and Highway 101 and adjacent roadways • Establish a plan to implement the improvements at the San Martin Airport, including funding from the General Fund and FAA funds • Direct the county executive to recommend a plan to analyze and address any concerns regarding airborne lead and other health concerns

• Direct staff to reach out to San Jose State University to negotiate a possible accommodation for the university’s aviation program at the San Martin Airport • Direct staff to reach out to the County’s Office of Emergency Services to consider all safety options • In partnership with the aviation community, look at the use of only unleaded fuel at the airports. In 2006, the Board approved a master plan for the San Martin Airport that outlines improvements and expansion to

consolidate general aviation operations the airport. This plan may need to be modified if operations shift from Reid-Hillview to San Martin. “I don’t think it’s wise to accept another federal grant to improve ReidHillview and tie up the land for aviation use only in perpetuity,” Cortese said. “This option gives us time to work with the aviation community, neighbors and business owners and the City of San Jose to determine the best use of the land occupied by ReidHillview and the area surrounding the San Martin Airport.”

COUNTY’S BIGGEST LAKE A view of Anderson Reservoir from the top of the dam on Dec. 10, when the water level was about 26 percent of the lake’s capacity. While the reduced capacity of the reservoir will extend for another two years, the district once considered using special floating pumps to reduce flood risks by pumping the water out of the reservoir over the spillway. On Feb. 13, 2017, the reservoir burst over the emergency spillway after a series of torrential storms, over the banks of Coyote Creek into a South San Jose neighborhood. Those floods forced 14,000 people from their homes, leaving $100 million in damage. The district concluded that “installing pumps on the dam or in the reservoir added risk and hazards to the operation of the dam,” and the same benefits “could be achieved through operational changes.” Anderson Dam creates the county’s largest surface

water reservoir—Anderson Reservoir— which stores local rainfall runoff and “imported” water from the Central Valley. The reservoir is an important water source for treatment plants and the recharge of the groundwater basin. Besides restoring drinking water supplies, the upgrade also supports compliance with environmental regulations. The district’s regular reservoir releases ensure that downstream habitat has healthy flows and temperatures to sustain wildlife. A breach of Anderson Dam at full capacity could have catastrophic consequences, including inundation of surrounding land more than 30 miles northwest to San Francisco Bay, and more than 40 miles southeast to Monterey Bay. Current estimates put

10% OFF Labor on your next

the project cost at $550 million. Of that total cost, 15 to 20 percent will be spent on planning and design, as well as on environmental studies and documentation, with the remaining spent on construction. These cost estimates may change as the project progresses. The Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, which Santa Clara County voters approved in November 2012, will fund about $65 million of the project’s cost. The remaining costs will be funded by groundwater rates. Upon completion of the project, the average household in the area of the county roughly north of Metcalf Road in Coyote Valley can expect an increase of $6.25 per month in their water rates. Households in the area

south of Metcalf Road can expect to see an increase of about $3.50 per month. The project will require the use of heavy equipment, which may generate traffic in multiple shifts. Residents living near Anderson Dam east of Morgan Hill can anticipate other impacts due to lighting, noise and dust. The water district is working with the City of Morgan Hill, the county’s Department of Parks and Recreation and local residents to develop a program to minimize construction impacts. It is expected that the reservoir will be available for some recreational use until early 2022. For more information, visit https://www. valleywater.org/ anderson-dam-project

The rains have returned to the Santa Clara Valley, and with them renewed anxiety over the capacity and stability of the county’s biggest body of water, the Anderson Reservoir. The source of that anxiety isn’t likely to go away until after as many as nine rainy seasons, as the Santa Clara Valley Water District now says that a fiveyear, $550 million project to upgrade the earthquake safety of the Anderson dam may not begin until 2022 at the earliest, two years later than its official start date. The popular recreation lake will be drained for at least five years during the project. New seismic data prompted the district, which owns the reservoir, to revise its plans for the “Anderson Seismic Retrofit” this fall. The project may take longer and cost more: The initial cost estimate was $400 million. The new data will require a complete reconstruction of the nearly 70-year-old earthen dam, according to the district. The dam reconstruction plan was first announced by the water district in 2013, about four years after authorities learned the current structure could collapse in a major earthquake. The revised project was unveiled at a public meeting in Morgan Hill in late October, and is currently in the design phase. The water district board will consider revising the project start date early next year. New geologic investigations in areas around the

dam resulted in the discovery of “previously unidentified seismic deficiencies,” according to the water district report: The upstream embankment is “susceptible to liquefaction” during a “maximum considered earthquake,” an earthquake that is expected to occur once in approximately 2,500 years, or a 2 percent chance every 50 years. The special materials placed between the reservoir’s clay core and the rock fill were determined to be inadequate to prevent failure in the event of a “fault offset,” leading to seepage and erosion through the bedrock foundation beneath Anderson Dam during a major earthquake. Even before these new findings, concerns about earthquake safety prompted the district in January 2017 to lower the reservoir’s water surface elevation limit an additional 10 feet. Anderson Reservoir is currently limited to about 52 percent of its capacity because of the seismic concerns. “The retrofit project, which was originally planned to include large upstream and downstream buttresses, has been modified to a nearly complete replacement of Anderson Dam in place,” district staff said in the latest report. The project will return the reservoir to its original storage capacity. The defeat of Proposition 3, for new water bonds, by the state’s voters Nov. 6 won’t affect the viability of the project, says the district. Spokesperson Gina Adriano said, “We’ve already allocated project costs within our budget. However, it does reduce the opportunity to lower the district’s project costs by utilizing what would have been potential Prop 3 funding.”

ALL-AROUND TALENT Angeline Madriaga dribbles the ball during the Bulldogs’ loss to Mount Eden of Hayward last Saturday in the Charger Shootout at Leland High School. Madriaga is a three-year varsity player and an impact player both offensively and defensively. GIRLS BASKETBALL

Shooting for the stars BULLDOGS ON A MISSION TO WIN ANOTHER LEAGUE TITLE emanuel lee Sports Editor

Chris Mora

After earning a share of the Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division championship and advancing to the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs last year, the Sobrato High girls basketball team is aiming to take things up another notch this season. “We have a bunch of goals, and one of them is to go farther in CCS,” Bulldogs coach Erica Wallace said. “We’ve gotten to the third, round, the semifinals, so now we’re looking to make it to the championship game. Another goal is to win first place in league, which would be the third straight year we would have accomplished that.” Sobrato entered the week at 3-1, with one more game before the start of league play against crosstown rival Live Oak High on Jan. 5. For the Bulldogs, everything starts with senior point guard Kianna Maldia, who recently signed a letter of intent to play at Sonoma State University and was last year’s Mount Hamilton Division Most Valuable Player. Maldia has been outstanding early in the season, a harbinger for what should be another productive season. “Kianna looks amazing,” Wallace said. “She’s doing great leading the team and has a great attitude, two of the reasons why I built this program around her the last four years.” Trezure Tu’ua, a sophomore forward/center, possesses a physicality that opponents have a hard time matching up with. Tu’ua has improved in all areas

of the game since last year, giving the Bulldogs a legitimate threat down on the low block. Wallace said Tu’ua. “Her athleticism is out of this world,” Wallace said. “She can pull down three offensive rebounds in a row and is such a solid player. She’s growing into a real leader, her energy is up and she is able to dominate in the post, which is something we really need. I don’t know if she realizes yet that she can score inside any time she wants to because she’s so strong. She’s really stepped up in how she reads the court and being a verbal and physical leader on the court.” Sobrato also returns senior center Jessica Byrum, who provides a true impact on the defensive end. Wallace produces a couple of blocks a game and alters several others. Byrum also has the capability to hit shots from the outside. “She’s been working on her 3-pointer a lot, and she can hit it,” Wallace said. “Jessica has a great attitude, motivates her teammates and goes hard every single game and practice. She does a great job of getting a lot of blocks and really makes her presence felt on defense.” Sobrato also has another strong post player in junior Kira Levandoski, who finished with 11 blocks—yes, 11—in a game earlier this season. Wallace said Levandoski has a nice drop step move in the post and should provide a strong presence defensively. Freshman shooting guard Jana Pineda has made an immediate impact with her keen court sense, ability to anticipate plays and scoring points. “She’s a difference-maker,” Wallace said. “She has amazing shot selection, amazing range and her passing is on point. She’s definitely someone to look out for now and in the future.” The team’s second leading

FLOOR GENERAL Kianna Maldia looks to pass in Sobrato High’s game last Saturday in the Charger Shootout.

Maldia, who recently signed to play at Sonoma State, has excelled in her time as the Bulldogs’ point guard.

scorer, junior guard Angeline Madriaga, averaged 12 points and four steals per game through the first three games of the season. Madriaga made the varsity squad as a freshman and has improved each year. Madriaga plays a pivotal role in Sobrato’s pressure defense, often harassing ball-handlers into mistakes. “My confidence has definitely grown,” she said. “I’ve worked hard to be a better overall player and try to be one of the leaders on this team.” Most high school rosters go through an overhaul every year, and Sobrato is no different. However, Madriaga feels the players have meshed well this season. “Seeing the new connections that are developing is making me really happy,” she said. Said Wallace: “Angeline’s

work ethic is non-stop. She’s an amazing defender and has the ability to score in a lot of ways.” Madriaga excels off the court as well. She has a cumulative 4.0 GPA and expects to have a 4.0plus by the end of the school year because of the three Advanced Placement and one honors class she is taking this year. Madriaga is known for earning the lead role in “Real Life Moana,” a music video in which Madriaga re-enacts the animated scenes of “Moana” to life. Madriaga has also sung the National Anthem countless times for various events, including the Morgan Hill Freedom Fest for the last eight years. When asked which of the eight versions of the song were her favorite, Madriaga replied, “Honestly, when I was younger because my vocal range was a

lot higher.” Madriaga already has her future career scoped out as a pediatrician. Despite having a talent for acting and singing, Madriaga knows the entertainment business is a catch-and-miss deal. “It’s really a hit or miss thing, but if the opportunity is there to be an actor or singer, I would definitely take it,” she said. “It’s just not my first choice. … I knew I always wanted to be in the medical field and realized a pediatrician would be a good choice for me.” Madriaga loves when she takes the court, as the energy and vibe is similar to when she goes up on stage. “Sometimes you have to fake it until you make it,” she said. “Basketball is a big mental game. You can’t do well unless you have the proper mindset.”

in each of them, others noticed. With all of Lemke’s races being available on TV/video, any of the major players in motorsports had the opportunity to view Lemke’s performances. Lorin Ranier, who is one of the more wellknown talent evaluators in NASCAR, got wind of Lemke and started tracking his performances. This eventually led to Lemke doing a test run with Ranier in North Carolina earlier this year. “It went really well, and I think that’s when Lorin realized Adam could be the one in 10,000 or one in 100,000 driver who can actually get it done,” Rodney said. “I didn’t think it would be this soon and for JR Motorsports, but Lorin is well connected (in the race world), and he was seeing Adam setting unofficial track record lap times as a 15 year old on his first lap. That is what caught Lorin’s eye, and he spent a good year finding a good seat for Adam and telling teams this is the kid you want.”

Influential figures

Rodney also credited Chastain, Rod Wortham, Susan Kinnicutt, Mike and Sharon Naake, Tony Caputo and Sarah Holliday for raising Adam’s profile and getting word out on his dynamic performances on the track. As Lemke’s crew chief in the open wheel race car, Chastain has a bird’s eye view of what makes Lemke special. The reasons are myriad, starting with a natural ability to be one with the race car.

ON THE MOVE Hollister’s Adam Lemke has signed a contract to run for JR Motorsports’

Late Model program, the race team and management company of Dale Earnhardt Jr. crew chief so their race car can be adjusted properly. Every word and description counts in a sport where seconds are paramount. “He can tell me exactly what the car is doing so we can talk about it and get it fixed,” said Chastain, who has been a crew chief for 12 years and has worked with over 100 drivers in that period. “He is one of the smartest drivers I’ve ever worked with. He listens so well and can apply that to what he’s doing on the track, and that alone makes him successful. He’s very studious, listens well and that allows him to take his natural talent to the next level. I’ve seen see him grow as a person

and driver, and it’s been an awesome thing to watch.” Rodney saw something special in Adam at an early age. The two watched NASCAR races every Sunday for the better part of a decade. When Adam was 9, Rodney took him to a NASCAR race in Fontana. As they walked through merchandise row, Adam saw a booth set up for quarter midget race cars. That’s when Rodney asked Adam if he wanted to race a quarter midget. “That is when I decided to do this,” Adam said. Even though Lemke showed a preternatural talent in the race car, he knew that wasn’t good enough. So early in his career, Lemke started

investing time off the track to complement the time he spent on the track. Like a number of pro drivers, Lemke spends time practicing on a race simulator to preview a race track. “It’s a pretty good way to learn the basics of a track,” he said. “I’ll have the basics learned and if no one else did that, I’ll already have a foot ahead of them, which is huge in this sport.” Chastain said Lemke is one of the top drivers he’s ever worked with, starting with his ability and attitude. “I’d put him in the top echelon not just on his ability, but his attitude and willingness to learn,” Chastain said.

Hollister native Adam Lemke grew up watching NASCAR, envisioning himself one day as a professional race car driver. The 16-year-old Lemke—a San Benito High junior who is on independent studies— took a big step in making that dream a reality when he was named a driver for JR Motorsports’ Late Model program for the upcoming 2019 season. JR Motorsports is the race team and management company of Dale Earnhardt Jr., the son of legendary figure Dale Earnhardt and arguably the most popular driver in NASCAR history. JR Motorsports fields a full roster of four cars in the NASCAR Xfinity Series while also being a key player with its Late Model program. Lemke, who is known for being a cool customer in the race car, finally let it all hang out when the news became final last Thursday that he would be one of the drivers in JR Motorsports’ Late Model program. “I started jumping all over my dad (Rodney) and messing with my crew chief (Randy Chastain),” said Lemke, who was reached by phone and was in Indianapolis to attend the USAC Champions Night Banquet and the Performance Racing

Industry (PRI) Trade Show. “It’s crazy to think when I first started talking to you of what I wanted to do, and now I’m talking to you saying how I’m actually going to do it.” It’s no coincidence JR Motorsports decided to put Lemke in one of its Late Model cars. Lemke is coming off a spectacular 2018 season in which he won the pavement and overall championships in the USAC Western Midget Series along with Rookie of the Year honors in the RPM Pro Late Model Series at Madera Speedway. Lemke’s race team, which consists of Rodney and Chastain—among others— was remarkably consistent, with Adam winning eight of 12 races in the USAC Midgets, including finishing no worse than third place in any of the races. Lemke also finished second in the dirt series portion of the championship. In the Late Model series, Lemke earned three top-five finishes en route to winning Rookie of the Year honors. “Having a driver of Adam’s capabilities is very important to the future of JR Motorsports,” L.W. Miller, who is the director of motorsports at JRM, said in a release on jrmracing.com. “We’re very happy to have a young driver of his caliber to continue on the trail blazed by drivers like Josh Berry, William Byron and Sam Mayer. He’s been winning races and championships out West, and we think he’s going to continue to do so here in the Southeast.” As Lemke was winning races and contending
