NORTH 40 DEVELOPER SHRINKS COMMERCIAL PLAN, DELAYS 100% AFFORDABLE BUILDING

Grosvenor is still promising to build more affordable units than required

Drew Penner, Editor

When Noa Sklar, a Los Gatos resident of 28 years, stepped up to the microphone to give public comment during a special meeting about the 450-unit North 40 Phase 2 development, her comments represented the evolution of thought about the project over the years in this famously housing-reticent community.

“I actually do not like this project at all,” she said, taking issue with the previous speaker who’d argued the buildings to rise from the old orchard (including a 99-foot tower) shouldn’t be considered highrise structures. “We’re losing this town for greed and such.”

But this perspective—emblematic of a popular slowgrowth mindset here, and consistent with comments she’s been making for more than a decade about residential development—were tempered by what came next.

“Since I’m just a little person who cannot face the big events that’s happening, my daughter…she’s a neurodivergent. She grew up in Los Gatos… excellent schools,” she said, noting her daughter represented her school in wrestling. “She graduated college…and she’s applying for a Master’s… She wants to be independent. Where is she gonna live? We want her nearby. She grew up here. Everything that she’s familiar with is here. Why should she move to Mountain View or

Karlis Treijs hopes to open his own studio

Faizi Samadani, Contributor

When Karlis Treijs migrated from Latvia to the United States in 2016, he had dreams of making it big.

And while he ended up in Silicon Valley, those aspirations weren’t about the tech world.

Treijs instead was seeking success in the field of dance, something he’s pursued since he was seven years old.

He’s now a professional ballroom dancer who’s been living in Los Gatos for several years, Treijs hopes to open his own dance studio here one day.

But, most recently, his focus has been on the USA Dance competition happening Nov. 15 in Redwood City.

As vice president of the organization’s Northern California chapter, Treijs is looking forward to welcoming dancers from all over California and surrounding states.

Treijs’s mother introduced him to dance, but by the time he was 12 he’d opted to play soccer

CARLOTA ROA SNAGS HONORABLE MENTION AT INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS

Author brings richness of Mexico to a global audience

Staff Report

Local author Carlota Roa was recognized with an Honorable Mention at the International Latino Book Awards, one of the most prestigious competitions dedicated to Spanish and English literature in the United States.

This year’s event was held at MiraCosta College on Oct. 25.

“This was amazing,” she said, noting around 5,000 people submitted work to various categories. “It was a heavy competition.”

The award was granted for her work Calaveras Literarias, a book that pays tribute to the Mexican tradition of calaveras. It blends creativity, satire and po -

etry in a unique style meant to resonate with readers of all ages.

“It’s a very cultural book,” she said. “This is very important book for me.”

The book features real people, including her grandfather who fought in the Mexican revolution. Another character: her ex-husband, a mountain climber who summited Denali in Alaska.

“He was the first Mexican doing this solo,” she said.

With this recognition, Roa strengthens her place as a prominent voice in contemporary Latin American literature, bringing the cultural and literary richness of Mexico to an international audience.

“Receiving this distinction is an honor I share with my community and with all those who keep alive the tradition of calaveras literarias,” said the author.

Every year, the International Latino Book Awards, organized by Latino Literacy Now, recognizes the excellence of writers and publishers who promote the culture, language and stories of the Latino community around the world.

Carlota Roa grew up during the 60s “golden era” of Mexico City. She emigrated to California in the late 1980s. She is a visual artist, writer and Spanish teacher.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

There are more development stories to be told

The recent Los Gatan article describing a scary chapter in Los Gatos history by Alan Feinberg jumped from the horrific 1960s plan to raise the Almond Grove District to the creation of the Almond Grove Historic District in 2008.

Unfortunately, this entirely omitted the

several decades political fight over land use and development in Los Gatos, something which current residents should know about, particularly in light of the current state mandates which will destroy the charm and small town feeling of Los Gatos.

MAGIC YARN PROJECT PRODUCES 206 WIGS FOR CANCER-FIGHTING KIDS

More than 430 volunteers participated in the initiative

Staff Report

On Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11, more than 430 volunteers participated in a JustServe community Magic Yarn Project held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Saratoga.

With set up, meals, trainers and volunteers young and old, yarn wigs were made, styled after beloved Disney characters like Elsa, Rapunzel, Moana, Ariel, Belle and others, like Captain America.

The wigs are for children battling with cancer and other medical hair loss conditions. The yarn wigs are soft on tender bald heads. The goal was to make 200 wigs.

They held four two-hour sessions, with the final one focused on youth participation.

Wig-makers were trained by Magic Yarn staff who traveled from Southern California.

It takes about two hours for a team (of two) to make a wig.

After the yarn is looped into the pre-crocheted cap, it gets braided and decorated.

A Polaroid picture is taken with participants holding their wig.

They put the photo inside a card, including their names and the city where they live—as these wigs get sent all over the country.

The cards are put in a decorated envelope matching the character, wrapped with the wig in a clear bag, then finished with a purple ribbon tied in a bow.

“It is like magic all wrapped up ready to ship,” is how one organizer put it.

This year’s effort produced 206 wigs.

The yarn was donated from groups all over the Bay Area.

A family that came from Modesto shared their heart-warming story of their son, Jaden, who was diagnosed with AML cancer at 12 years of age.

He spent 224 days in hospital, receiving 219 doses of Chemo and 166 blood transfusions over the eight-and-a-half months.

“It was a hard thing for Jaden to lose his hair,” said an organizer, reflecting on their talk.

Magic Yarn founder Holly Christensen connected with the family—Holly and Jaden’s dad were friends in High School. Holly sent Jaden a Captain America beanie, which he wore to cover his bald head and still proudly wears it today.

Approximately 15,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer each year in the USA alone.

Magic Yarn Project has made and distributed over 50,000 wigs over the past eight years to 52 countries.

Some of the wigs made this year in Saratoga will be donated to local hospitals and cancer clinics.

“As a cancer nurse, I have learned that I can't save the world,” said Christensen, who lives in Alaska. “I can't take the horrible disease away. But I can do something. I can bring some light into cancer patients' lives and help provide a magical escape during an otherwise dark and difficult time.”

ANTI-TAX-HIKE SIDE ACCUSES COUNTY SHERIFF OF WRONGDOING IN MEASURE A FIGHT

FPPC complaint filed in final week of campaigning

Drew Penner, Editor

Just days before the polls were set to close in the Measure A general purpose taxhike—pitched by supporters as for health care spending, the “No” side upped the drama, accusing the “Yes” contingent—as well as Santa Clara County Sheriff Robert Jonsen—of violating election laws.

The Fair Political Practices Commission said, Wednesday evening, it had received the official complaint, but when the Los Gatan reached the Sheriff’s Office a couple days later, an agency official claimed Jonsen didn’t know he was now under the microscope for alleged wrongdoing.

“The Sheriff was not aware of this,” said Brooks Jarosz, a senior communications officer for the law enforcement body, Friday afternoon, when the newspaper sent the complaint in an effort to get an official response from Jonsen. “We will need time to evaluate before any official comments are made.”

Measure A campaigning has been a pitched battle, with supporters advocating for the sales tax increase (to last five years) of 0.625% percentage points to help backstop cuts by the Trump Administration to America’s safety net, and the “No” side claiming, when it comes to providing public health care, the County has overextended itself and doesn’t deserve more money.

According to the complaint, the “Yes” side failed to properly report some of its spending. While the organization did include five expenditures totaling $214,500, including $125,000 to “Tributary Media LLC Sterling, VA 20165” for “Digital Ads,” per the filing, the “No” side believes there are “presumably” subcontractor payments that were not accounted for, as required.

They attached a screenshot of a Google Transparency page that showed the “Santa Clara County Public Health and Safety Coalition” (the group supporting the “Yes” side) ran at least 10 ads in the period of Oct. 1-18. The Los Gatan has verified this to be the case.

It also attached a page showing “Santa Clara County Public Health” prepared at least five ads for Meta platforms, with at least four featuring video. However, it’s unclear how much was spent on the ads, given that they are currently listed as “inactive” and the total spend is not listed. However, a single “Yes on Measure A” ad that ran from Oct. 16-18 on Facebook and Instagram is listed as costing $100199 and achieving 8-9,000 impressions. Another that ran on the same platforms during the same period, is listed as costing less than $100. However, it achieved 3-4,000 impressions, suggesting it may have cost more than $50.

For context, Meta reports that from Oct. 24-30, the advertiser (officially: “Yes on A, Santa Clara County Public Health and Safety Coalition sponsored by public health, safety, and labor organizations. Top Funder: Santa Clara County Government Attorneys’ Association”) spent a total of $7,906 “on ads about social issues, elections or politics.”

The complaint points to the FPPC Campaign Manual section about “Subvendor Payments,” which notes, “Whenever an agent or independent contractor (such as a consulting firm or advertising agency) makes an expenditure, or incurs a debt, of $500 or more on behalf of the committee, the expenditure must be reported in the same detail as if it had been made directly by the committee.” The “No” side says that’s the part that’s missing from the financial report.

The complaint also raised questions about two mailers, which were also posted to the “Yes” side’s website.

The third accusation is the one that targets Sheriff Robert Jonsen. The “No” side says his behavior has been improper, because he’s been campaigning in his official dress.

“No officer or employee of a local agency shall participate in political activities of any kind while in uniform,” reads the Government Code Section 3206, which is quoted in the filing.

An attachment included a photo of Jonsen in his sheriff outfit at an Oct. 1 pro-Measure A rally in San Jose, to the left of District Attorney Jeff Rosen at a

podium that features a sign that says, “YES ON MEASURE A / PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY”.

A spokesperson for the County declined to comment on the FPPC complaint, because it was not against the administrative body directly.

The “Yes” side did not respond to a request for comment.

Dan Stegink, the “No” side’s treasurer, said it’s “shocking” how much money their opponents have spent during the campaign.

"If passed, the Measure A Tax will collect more than $1.65 billion dollars of the People's money, and it's crucial that Santa Clara County, it's employees and their organizations accurately report both who paid for the multi-million dollar avalanche of ad spending promoting the Measure A Tax and when they paid for it,” he said. “It’s also important that the good Sheriff Jonsen and his deputies not wear their official uniform(s) while engaging in political campaigning, like the pro Measure A rallies held on Valley Medical Center properties.”

The “No” side told the Los Gatan it believes the County has now spent more than $1 million on its own mailers—which don’t mention Measure A by name but highlight the importance of supporting public health care in the face of Trump’s cuts. The newspaper previously reported the county had spent more than a quarter-million on one such flyer.

Santa Clara County confirmed it had sent out a second mailer, but said they

did not pay more than $1 million overall in design, postage and delivery costs.

Residents from around the Bay Area and across California say, regardless of the specifics of what’s going on with the tax fight in Santa Clara County, the current federal landscape is affecting the health care picture in major ways already.

Dr. Adam Lowry, 34, a psychiatrist up in Napa County, says it’s been extremely difficult to sort out what’s going on with the repayment of his $500,000+ in student loans. The George W. Bush-created Public Service Loan Forgiveness program has become the latest hot-potato in the culture war between the Republican Party and Democrat-run cities.

“I want to help people,” Lowry said, noting some of his colleagues also want to keep working in California’s public health system, but who feel under incredible pressure due to Trump Administration policies. “None of us can get an actual payment program that would work with the program.”

Lowry says if he’s forced into going with a private repayment option, he might have to leave the Bay Area and return to Indiana to focus on paying off his debt.

Facebook user John Harrington commented on a recent IKON ski resorts pass advertisement to urge the tickets provider to slash prices due to the current situation.

“I sure wish I could ski Mammoth this year,” he wrote, “but with my increase in health care cost it will be very difficult. A break on the cost of an IKON Base pass would be extremely helpful.”

PLANNING COMMISSION SUPPORTS GROSVENOR'S ASKS

North 40, from page 1

East San Jose, when she can be here near us—close to her family?”

Sklar urged Planning Commission to support Grosvenor’s second phase of its North 40 development, with about 20% of homes reserved at affordable price points for qualifying residents; it includes designs for a building by Eden Housing, with 16 units set aside for people with intellectual disabilities.

“There’s tons of kids like her: neurodivergent, on the spectrum…living here,” she said. “You’re not as exposed to them as much, because we tend to be low key— except me. So, please move on with this project for the sake of my daughter and people like her. As quickly as you can.”

Her daughter, Romi Sklar, 23, stepped up to the plate next, brandishing her infectious smile like a weapon.

“I lived in Los Gatos my whole life,” said Romi, an autistic woman who graduated from Cal State East Bay after studying Human Development. “I love living in Los Gatos. My heart’s in Los Gatos. I have a lot of friends in Los Gatos. Good memories in Los Gatos. My gym, my extra-curricular activities. My family. And I am neurodivergent. I faced some obstacles in school like academics, slow-processing.”

But she said she never let that stop her.

“I always persevere; I want to continue persevering,” she said. “I have a lot of friends on the spectrum—and other neurodiverse conditions who live in Los Gatos, too. They want to be independent. They still want to live in Los Gatos, like me.”

Commissioner Jeffrey Barnett was curious if she shared her mom’s disdain for the architectural approach of Grosvenor. She got a good laugh at this pointed question, as she looked over to her mom.

“Personally, I am a firm believer that whoever benefits and really needs housing allocated—whether it’s people with

low income or people with…neurodiverse conditions—deserve to have housing. Because they want to be independent,” she said, indicating she’s much less concerned with the size of the prospective building than having a place where she can live on her own.

Throughout the hearing, the developer’s representatives—while promising to maintain the previously-expected number of affordable units overall, despite a reduction in State requirements for this sort of project—argued for two main concessions.

Number one, Grosvenor requested to be able to hold-off on building the 100% lower-income building (including the units for intellectually-disabled residents) while it generates funding by selling 127 townhouses first (it’s supposed to proceed with both at the same time). Eden Housing said, if all goes well, it’s still about three years away from groundbreaking— including about a year of design work.

One of Grosvenor’s reps said they’re highly incentivized to continue to the 100% affordable part of the development, because, after selling all the townhomes, they’ll still be in the red.

The second thing that Grosvenor asked for was to not have to put in some of the ground-floor commercial that is currently in the renderings.

Barnett made the motion to support the applicant’s concessions—and to explicitly require the developer to build 16 units for people with learning disabilities, as one of the conditions of approval. And (based on a request from Chair Emily Thomas) to make the developer work with staff to swap out non-native vegetation in the current documents with native species.

It passed 5-2, with commissioners Rob Stump and Susan Burnett opposed.

It now moves on to Council for consideration.

MOTHER Noa Sklar said, while she doesn’t love everything about the North 40 Phase 2 design, she really appreciates that the developer has included units for people with learning disabilities. (Town LG / YouTube) (Daughter)

DAUGHTER Romi Sklar says she loves living in Los Gatos. She hopes developments like Grosvenor’s will allow people with intellectual disabilities to thrive here.(Town LG / YouTube)

WILDCATS ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AS ONE OF THE BEST

Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor

Ever since the Central Coast Section sanctioned play for girls flag football beginning in the fall 2024 season, Los Gatos High School has established itself as one of the top-tier programs.

In the recently completed regular-season, the Wildcats finished 20-5, including a perfect 10-0 to win the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League championship and earn the No. 3 seed in the Open Division playoffs.

They edged No. 6 seed Carlmont High 13-12 on Nov. 3, propelling them to a semifinal showdown with No. 2 seed Sacred Heart Prep on Nov. 5. The Gators defeated Los Gatos 26-7 in a non-league matchup in the first month of the season.

“I’d love to win (against Carlmont) and if the opportunity came up to have a rematch with Sacred Heart Prep, that would be really cool, too,” Wildcats coach Jaye Reinman said three days before the Carlmont game. “I don’t care who we play. I hope there’s three doors (opponents) to walk through and I want my girls to walk through all of them, God willing.”

No matter how this season ends, the future remains bright. Out of the 22 players on the roster, just two are seniors. Furthermore, Los Gatos has a pipeline of incoming talent en route to campus.

“That’s the beauty of my squad,” Reinman said. “We’re very young and a really good team. So, being able to think to myself that next year’s starting offense and defense is basically the team that will be there for the next two to three years is great. In addition, I hear the new incoming class has some athletes who will be playing flag football next year.”

Los Gatos dominated the majority of its games, with Reinman liberally utilizing his second- and third-string players by the start of the fourth quarter. However, the Wildcats also showed they could perform in the clutch, winning two razor-thin close games with league rival Milpitas.

“Everytime we play them, I joke with their coach, ‘Can we have a game and not have it come down to the final whistle,’” Reinman said. “Three of the four games we’ve played with them since last year were ping pong matches and absolute thrillers.”

Sophomore quarterback Helena Younan

SPORTS

has thrown 57 touchdown passes, with 42 of those going to the dynamic trio of Sophie Riese, Taylor Payne and Reilly Cronin. In one sense, Reinman has given the keys to the offense to Younan, who continues to make all of the plays.

“Helena is a really smart player,” Reinman said. “I’ve been giving Helena the autonomy to basically run the offense, even though I have an offensive coordinator. She’s comfortable when she’s able to direct, and she’s able to understand what the offensive needs are and what her personal needs are. Once those two connect, we’re good.”

Riese is a dynamic playmaker who is averaging 64 yards receiving per game. Just as important, she is one of the stronger personalities on the team.

“Sophie is really opinionated sometimes,

but she’s also really smart,” Reinman said. “She might come with a suggestion during a game and I’m like, ‘OK, there could be something to that. Let’s do that.’ We’re a family-based team and a tight-knit offense. They understand football and when you know your players get it, it’s really refreshing because now you’re really scheming the ins and outs of football.”

Five of the seven starters on offense play both ways, including Kendall Feichtmeir (receiver/cornerback), Paige Purcell (halfback/linebacker), Cate Zeman (receiver/linebacker), Riese (receiver/free safety), and Payne (receiver/strong safety). Feichtmeir and Purcell lead the team with four “tackles” per game, while freshman Callie Nelson has a team-best 19 sacks. The trio of Payne, Riese and Purcell have combined for 37 interceptions.

Flag football is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S., with girls driving the surge in participation. According to the International Federation of American Football, 2.4 million kids aged 16 and under are playing organized flag football nationwide, while millions more play globally.

The rise in participation is one of the key reasons why flag football will make its debut as an Olympic Sport in the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

“Girls flag football has grown exponentially,” Reinman said. “It’s out of this world. A bunch of colleges are offering scholarships now, and you’re seeing the game played at the junior college level as well. I knew the game was going to take off when I started doing this in middle school. Obviously, I don't think anyone could’ve expected the way it took off, but

Out of the Wildcats’ five losses, only two came from teams within the CCS: Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep, the top two seeds in the playoffs. However, Reinman said the implementation of the new rule changes and the seeming inconsistency of the interpretation of what was being called a penalty, had an impact on the team’s progression early in the season.

“The girls have made a really nice adjustment from the beginning of the season,” Reinman said. “We had to change our whole game plan and the girls really adapted to that. You watch the girls now and it’s clear they are even in a better place now than before. They’re ready to adapt and adjust on a dime.”

“They are really kind, nice girls,” he said. “I was joking one time and said to them, ‘You’re going to have to start getting more feisty.’ One of them was like, ‘No, I'm not going to do that.’ To see that reaction was really cool. They were upset because some of the girls on the other team were calling them bad names, and other ones referencing weight. But our girls are not going to react to that.

ARMS CYBER DEFENSE OPENS HEADQUARTERS IN LOS GATOS

Will I be targeted by online criminals? Local firm says it’s not a matter of “if” but “when”

Dinah Cotton Contributor

On Monday, Oct. 20, along with the assistance of the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce and our Mayor, Arms Cyber Defense “Arms” held their ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new international headquarters.

From the Los Gatan ’s observations, Mayor Matthew Hudes is getting quite good at operating the giant scissors at these events, with the support and encouragement of Chamber Executive Director Jennifer Lin and her team.

Mayor Hudes will be the go-to ribbon-cutter until Dec. 9, when Vice Mayor Rob Moore is set to take over mayoral duties (his invitations have already gone out).

“Better to think about cyber security before you are hacked than after,” said Arms Cyber Defense CEO Bob Kurse. “It is easier to install cyber defense prior to being hacked than during, or after.”

This cyber ransom attack or “software ransoming" usually means ransomware.

This is the malware that encrypts or steals data and then someone demands payment in exchange for its return—or nondisclosure of personal information.

Ransomware will remotely hold control of all of the software’s abilities.

Publicly held companies must now disclose if they have been ransomed.

Have you received notices stating that your social security number or other private details have been acquired by third parties?

Ransomware fears

A ransomware-malware victim can lose access to all their data in a second.

Any and all transactions that were processed on it suddenly become frozen.

Remotely controlled, a ransom is set.

If a ransom fee is paid, the victim still

might just get a small portion of software access back.

And even then, the perpetrators may ask the victim to fork over even more cash.

“If you pay the ransom, then you're just basically opening up the floodgates to pay more ransom,” Kruse said. “In the UK, it is illegal to pay ransom.”

He continued, “Publicly traded companies now need to disclose that hacking has occurred.”

Ransomware remains a major threat to organisations of all sizes.

Currently, Arms is offering to do a demo for interested parties.

“It is not a question (of), Will I be attacked?, it is, When you will be attacked.”

Hospitals are not immune to cybercrime

Kurse went on explaining how these profit driven “hackers” have no concern about holding health systems ransom.

“They’ll take down a hospital, hold the software ransom so that the hospital… can not care for its patients or staff members—and supply services—until the ransom has been paid,” he said. “If you can imagine that, then understand that this is extortion.”

In a case like this, a cyberattack could be life-threatening, he said.

“And it does not stop,” he said.

Criminals target everyone

Once you notice that your software is unusable, you may receive information through normal channels—such as text, email or phone calls—informing you that you have been hacked.

These ransom attackers even have customer service staff that will help you pay the ransom and unlock your system. It’s crime on a global scale.

Anybody who uses software is a potential victim. Anyone with valuable data (from the government, to clinics, to large

facility operators) can be a target.

Attackers tend to go where the payoff is huge and leverage is available, where the opportunity to hack is best and the hacking is the easiest.

Hackers “follow the money.” Celebrities and high-net-worth individuals can be in the crosshairs.

But also mom-and-pop and medium-sized businesses can be victims.

And a range of industries (think finance, tech, energy, logistics, healthcare, transportation, water provision, food supply, emergency services, government, law enforcement, military, education, healthcare and universities) can be vulnerable.

This ransom scenario is the biggest worry for large concerns, however, no one is too small, or too obscure, to avoid interest from these nefarious digital actors.

Just think about when you got your last scam call, email or text?

Now, with the aid of artificial intelligence, even your voice and image can be used to do what might help in obtaining ransom.

“AI is increasing the need for security,” Kruse said. “What might take a month to code, AI can do in days.”

In other words, AI makes ransoming easier.

He also added, “The most dangerous part of the computer is the person using it.”

So, stay aware.

It’s enough to make you wonder about picking up some anti-ransomware insurance.

Are you being hacked?

Early detection can stop hackers in their tracks.

Or better yet, protect yourself ahead of time with a cyber defense system, says Kurse.

You can also be vigilant for warning signs of inappropriate activity.

For example, if new, or unusual, file extensions appear on many files. If you’re alerted to many failed log-in attempts, or if you detect suspicious outbound traffic of large uploads to an unknown IP address, you may be under attack.

If so, ransom notes may soon begin appearing on your desktop or other devices.

Forewarned is forearmed

There’s a famous proverb, “Prior knowledge of possible dangers or problems gives a tactical advantage.”

Basically, if you know about a danger area in advance, you can be prepared to deal with it.

So, be aware of cyber risks, and set up a defense plan—and possibly defense software—before anything bad happens, urges Kruse.

After all, experts say that these attacks are becoming more common.

In closing, Kruse shared the following tips for staying safe on your computer:

• Awareness - Keep it at a high level.

• Vigilance - Keep your system updated.

• Multi-layered - Use two-factor identification.

• Fortify - Keep your passwords strong.

DAVE ESHELMAN’S 17-PIECE JAZZ GARDEN ENSEMBLE BRINGING CLASSIC BIG BAND TO TOWN

West Valley College Jazz Ensemble and its director, Troy Davis, will also play

Dinah Cotton, Contributor

On Nov. 16 at 2pm, big band music will resound at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center auditorium. Dave Eshelman and his 17-piece Jazz Garden Ensemble will take to this excellent stage to wow you with classic sounds. Prior to the Jazz Garden performing, the West Valley College Jazz Ensemble led by Troy Davis will present Cold Snap. Relax to the music of Cedar Walton, Charlie Parker, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chuck Mangione and Michael Brecker. The Jazz Garden Big Band plans to celebrate these greats in concert with Dave Eshelman’s arrangements of their wellknown compositions. They’re calling it the “Bay Area World Tour III.”

If you are going through jazz music withdrawals since Jazz on the Plazz wound-down in August, there is hope (please note not Teri—the JonP organiz -

er—this time) to hear some live jazz before next summer. Fasten your seat belts for an enjoyable afternoon along Oka Road, where there’s plenty of easy—and wheelchair-friendly—parking out front.

The Jazz Garden Big Band features some of the most active freelance musicians in the Bay Area. Many have performed with the band for decades. Saxophones: Mary Fettig, Kasey Knudsen, Dann Zinn, Bob Kenmotsu and Bob Farrington. Trumpets: Marvin McFadden, Rich Bice, Mike Olmos and Erik Jekabson. Trombones: Matt Hall, Jeanne Geiger, Dave Eshelman and Rich Lee; Colin Hogan, piano; Randy Vincent, guitar; Dan Parenti, bass; Kelly Fasman, drums. Over half of these musicians are former students from Eshelman’s teaching days.

In selecting music for this performance Eshelman stated, “A few days after I chose this set list I stepped back and looked at it from a distance. I realized these compositions were representative of the most positive music in my book. I’m speaking of the honesty of the music, the genuine hopeful-

ness that it projects, and the promise of better days ahead. On a subliminal level, I must have sensed a need to showcase this great music and recognize what it can do for those wanting a spiritual lift right now. I look forward to sharing it with our audiences.”

Kathryn Morgan

Kathryn “Kitten or Kathy” Morgan died peacefully at her home in Los Gatos on September 30, 2025. She was born during WWII at the Naval base in Norfolk, VA where her father was stationed. After the war, her parents, Richard and Genevieve Kapp moved to Chicago, and later to San Diego, where she grew up. She graduated from Hoover High School and then San Jose State, later earning a Masters degree. Kathryn taught English (and was very active in the drama department) at Los Gatos High School, a vocation that she absolutely loved for her entire 37 year career. Kathy traveled extensively in the U.S. as well as in Europe, the UK, China and Africa. She was fascinated with literature, theater, art, history and architecture.

Kitten is survived by her four sisters, Diane Levorsen, Leslie Jensen, Peggy Kapp and Connie (Tom) Hooks, as well as many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of life will be held at the Los Gatos United Methodist Church, 111 Church Street, on Friday, November 14, 2025 at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Los Gatos Historical Society, Los Gatos Community Concert Association, World Central Kitchen or World Wildlife Fund would be very much appreciated.

TREIJS SEES BALLROOM DANCING AS A FORM OF CREATIVE MEDITATION

USA Dance, from page 1

with the other boys.

But he found himself drawn back to dance.

“When I was 14 I became better at it, and my competitive side kicked in,” he said. “I want to practice more seriously and get better. I wanted to win and I wanted to do great.”

By the time he reached his high school graduation in Latvia, he was very math and physics oriented.

But decided to consider dance as a profession, attending university in neighboring Russia.

After just three years of study to be a ballroom dancing coach, Treijs decided to drop out and move to Los Angeles to pursue dance as a full-time career.

“I didn’t see how college was going to help in my career or in my life,” he said. “Some students went to America to work, so I decided to leave Volgograd, Russia, and go to America.”

All that Treijs knew of the US at the time came from watching movies.

Upon arrival, he realized San Francisco and Los Angeles were two cities where the reality matched his expectations.

Dance was always a way for Treijs to express himself. And he was motivated to make something of himself.

He arrived first in Los Angeles County, where he taught dance for three years in Covina.

Treijs had a student who wanted him to teach her, which led him to move to the Bay Area.

He was drawn to the “European feel” that he says he found.

Los Gatos reminds Treijs of his home country of Latvia, due to the surrounding lush mountains.

Now, Treijs works at Starlite Ballroom in San Jose and commutes out of Los Gatos.

Silicon Valley is consumed with tech culture, yet Treijs has been able to sustain himself through the arts.

“You need to work pretty hard, and of course it’s not easy,” he said. “I’m thinking of opening a studio where I would be more in charge of the teaching process. A lot of people value dancing for different reasons, like exercise, to be happy or to have a creative outlet. In a sense, it’s invaluable. A lot of people have material things, but they don’t feel that good. Dancing is a form of therapy for a lot of people.”

A need for a meditative outlet. This inspires Treijs to teach to his students the beauty of movement, through his small business. He believes in it so strongly he’s dedicated his entire life to it.

He’s been considering how to establish a studio. He knows there are different ways to go about it.

He could run a closed studio, like Fred

DANCE PROFESSIONAL Karlis Treijs (right) says he wants to open his own dance studio in Los Gatos. But he’s still mulling over what market he should target.

Astaire, where the employees are working for one teacher.

Or, there is the “social dancing” focus, where people can mingle.

He could gear things towards preparing people for weddings.

USA Dance organization

USA Dance is one of the major dance organizations in the country. As its vice president for Northern California, Treijs is hoping to spur the revival that’s been fueled in

part by the popularity of shows like “Dancing with the Stars,” “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dance Monsters.”

On Nov. 15, the International Olympic Committee-recognized organization will hold an event in Redwood City at Grand Bay Hotel. They expect more than 1,000 attendees will come—from places across Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Nevada—to compete in hopes of moving on to nationals. The Northern California chap-

ter has a board that works together to put on this event. Its chair judge will come from New Jersey. It’s officially called “California DanceSport Grand Prix Regional Championship,” and the slogan is “Where Dancers Shine & Dreams Take Flight.”

Fees are under $100 and dancers from the area are welcome to sign up online before the event. For more information contact: usadancesf@gmail.com
