Law enforcement supports Special Olympics

WATSONVILLE — Anyone who drove along Freedom Boulevard on Wednesday morning may have seen several police vehicles, their lights flashing as they slowly made their way northwest. These were surrounding about a dozen joggers – police officers and cadets from Watsonville Police Department – who were participating in the Special Olympics Northern California Law Enforcement Torch Run.

WPD Officer Robert Strong said he appreciates that the event raises funds for the Special Olympics. WPD raised more than $500. “We have a good team, and we get a lot of support from the community,” Strong said. “It’s nice being a part of something bigger.” The route started at the Watsonville Police Department, and went down Freedom Boulevard through Corralitos before ending at DeWitt Anderson School.

From there, the runners passed the flaming torch to California Highway Patrol officers. The Watsonville leg was part of a 31-mile route through Santa Cruz County that ended at Scotts Valley Fire Station at 251 Glenwood Drive. In addition to Watsonville Police Department and the CHP, the run included dispatchers from the Santa Cruz County Regional 911 Center, Capitola Police

Department, Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, the county District Attorney’s office, UC Santa Cruz Police Department and Scotts Valley Police Department. The run was launched in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas, and with events in all 50 U.S. states and 170 countries, it has evolved into one of the largest grassroots efforts in the country, said organizer John Hohmann, a retired lieutenant with the Scotts Valley Police Department. See CAUSE, page A14

WATSONVILLE — After a few years of steady growth the City of Watsonville will have to start chipping away at a predicted deficit that could force several changes at multiple departments across the city. Staff at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting presented a somewhat gloomy outlook for the next five years. Growing pension costs, the possible loss of Measure G funds and a “flattening” in tax revenues will all create a deficit between the city’s expenditures and revenues. As a way of offsetting the deficit for fiscal year 2019-20, city staff proposed the freezing of several positions — Assistant City Manager and Division Fire Chief among the biggest — in different departments, restructuring the Contigo Program and Neighborhood Services and funding the Police Activities League entirely through Measure G, a half-cent sales tax that will sunset in 2021, barring an extension by voters.

Artist looking for input on ambitious mural project By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — The largest outdoor mosaic mural project in Santa Cruz County is in the works for downtown Watsonville. In February the Watsonville City Council unanimously approved “Watsonville Brillante,” an ambitious five-year project that will cover the entire exterior of the Civic Plaza parking garage at the corner of Rodriguez and Second streets with mosaic designs. The project is being spearheaded by Kathleen Crocetti, who has headed up about 20 public art projects in Santa Cruz over the past decade. Crocetti said her downtown sidewalk mosaic project, “Celebrating the Dignity of Labor,” has served as a springboard for

E - EDITION - ON LINE @ www.register-pajaronian.com

“Watsonville Brillante.” “This project is about patterns that reflect heritages,” Crocetti said. “We want to connect each panel to another to show the familiar relationships and connections of current living people.” Crocetti said she and others have been reaching out to collect demographics at the farmers market, rotary clubs, on the streets, the library and other cultural and service organizations. The project calls for the installation of mosaic pieces over 12,000 square feet of the six-story garage, divided up by 185 panels that measure eight feet wide by three-and-a-half feet tall. In addition, three large walls of the garage will feature a single mosaic See MURAL, page A14

OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Watsonville Community Hospital will soon have a new owner, but it is not yet clear whom that will be. Los Angeles-based Halsen Healthcare is a one-year-old organization formed to make the purchase, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Brothman confirmed Friday. According to Brothman, the purchase will be completed on or before Aug. 1, which will make it the company’s only hospital. He said the company wants to run the hospital with a focus on its small community roots. This could come as a relief to Watsonville residents, many of whom have expressed concern about the hospital’s previous owner, Tennesseebased Quorum Health Corporation, which has owned the hospital since 2016. That company has been criticized as a large corporate entity out of touch with Watsonville’s needs. “We believe in working closely with the community, and we’re answerable to the community, not to shareholders,” Brothman said. P ajaro Valley Community Health Trust Executive Director DeAndre James said that organization has the ‘right of first refusal,’ and

All about apples

Cider company to move production to Watsonville, open tasting room By JOHANNA MILLER OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — The rich history of apple farming in the Pajaro Valley is not lost on Santa Cruz Cider Co. owner and cidermaker Nicole Todd. In fact, that history is embedded in everything she does—from the orchard where her company sources its apples to the facility where those crops are pressed. And now, the Santa Cruz Cider Co.’s production of its hard cider will also be coming to Watsonville. After stumbling upon an abandoned apple orchard on the outskirts of Watsonville, Todd said she was inspired to

learn more about apple fermentation. She had recently discovered she had an intolerance to gluten—making her involvement in brewing beer a challenge. “The catalyst of this whole thing was actually a food allergy,” she said. “I wanted to keep learning about fermentation. Apples were the other way to do that.” Partnering with husband Felix Todd, sister Natalie Henze and other family members, she formed the Santa Cruz Cider Co. in 2013. The company has been present at Farmers’ Markets across the county, and its product is sold by various local retailers. They’ve

also been involved with the annual Open Farm Tours. On June 4 the Watsonville City Planning Department unanimously approved a plan to allow Santa Cruz Cider Co. to move their production facilities from Santa Cruz to Watsonville, and to open a new tasting room on Hanger Way. “We are beyond excited,” said Henze. “We can’t wait to share our cider with everyone and keep expanding what we do.” Luz Del Valle orchard, located just off of Freedom Blvd. on Hames Rd., is where the company sources much

of its apples. The 17-acre plot of land has been established since 1880, and is currently owned by Phil and Karell Reader. Karell Reader is from the Silva family—known for a long legacy of apple growing in the region. The Readers reached out to Santa Cruz Cider Co., offering their orchard as a local apple source. The families grew close and eventually the Todds were invited to buy a house on the Luz Del Valle property. They now work together at managing the orchard. The Henze family also moved south recently to a property off of Holohan Road in Watsonville. “We’ve lived all over [Santa Cruz County] but the apples are here,” Henze said. “It makes sense to be here, and it’s

It’s official: Lopez named Fire Chief By TODD GUILD OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Rudy Lopez, Sr. has officially taken the position of chief of the Watsonville Fire Department, nearly three months after he was appointed to the interim position. Lopez, whose son Rudy Lopez Jr. is a Watsonville Police detective, has been a firefighter since 1990, a career that began when he went to a recruiting event when he was 29. He called it his life’s calling. His time in the department has included serving in nearly every possible capacity, including Division Chief and Fire Marshall. But he said the top spot has taken some getting used to. “I never started out to be a chief,” he said. “However, it’s my call to duty.” Lopez called his ascension to the position a “humbling experience,” and said his leadership is contingent on the respect he garners from his staff. “You earn that trust, and you can lose that trust in a breath,” he said. “It’s not about me, but it starts with me.” Lopez takes the helm during the impending sunsetting of Measure G, the half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2014,

Rudy Lopez Sr. was recently named Fire Chief for the Watsonville Fire Department. which has funded six firefighters and two new engines, each costing about $535,000. A $1.4 million tiller truck is currently being built. C ity leaders are mulling whether to bring that issue back

to voters, a task that falls largely on the shoulders of officials such as Lopez, who are tasked with convincing a tax-wary public that the money is being used wisely. Lopez said he is consider-

ing restructuring his command staff, and wants to expand the department’s fire cadet program. “We don’t need many changes,” he said. “We need continued progress.”

A fast-paced life: Watsonville racer keeping on track By TODD GUILD OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

Watsonville resident Lily Mead has been racing some form of motorized vehicle since she was 5, and is currently earning a name for herself racing late-model stock cars against other drivers her age. She competes in races as far way as Las Vegas, in 51FIFTY Energy Drink Jr. Late Model Series races, which are televised on MAV TV. M ead, 17, graduated from Ocean Grove Charter, a homebased high school this month. And she has maintained a 4.0 grade point average at Cabrillo College since she was 15 as she works toward a dual major in communications and art. She is also busy launching her own apparel business, Lilly Rae Designs. Mead was in attendance at the Capitola Rod & Classic Car Show on Saturday, where she was signing her autograph onto photos of herself with her car. With a busy schedule that includes maintaining her car with her family, Mead plans next year to start racing against people

18 and over, a demographic she referred to as “old people.” Mead was 5 when she began racing quad bikes, and 6 when she switched to go-carts. She then began racing quarter-midget racers, a smaller version of midget racers. At 13, she made the switch to late-model stock cars, in which she competes against racers male and female - aged 10-17. This allowed her to make the switch from dirt to asphalt tracks, which she said is her preferred arena. Mead said she hopes to advance her racing career as far as she can. She does not, however, want to go up to the NASCAR level, for fear that would mean no longer being able to do the behind-the-scenes work with her family. That, she said, is why she enjoys racing so much. Her mother and father both race at Ocean Speedway, and her brother has raced as well. “It’s a family deal,” she said. “It keeps our family close together.” “It’s a blast,” she added. “Not many kids get to do it. I’m really fortunate my family puts the time into it and lets me do it.”

Fog replaces record heat By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

CENTRAL COAST — Record-breaking temperatures swept through the west, from Vancouver, Canada to the desert in the Southwest at the start of the week, but marine fog has largely quelled the heat. Steve Anderson of the National Weather Service of Monterey said a massive high-pressure ridge off the coast drove temperatures up and produced widespread record temperatures Monday and into Tuesday.

PVUSD trustees hear budget, hire assist. superintendent

“Most every record will fall as these highs start coming in,” Anderson said. “It’s 94 degrees already in Monterey and it’s only 10:30 (Monday).” New heat records include: • Monterey 94; previous record 91 in 1994. • Santa Rosa 101: previous record 100 in 1921. • San Francisco 100; previous record 94 in 1994 • Gilroy 104; previous record 102 in 2014 • Salinas 106; previous record 88 in 1994

WATSONVILLE — The Pajaro Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees on Wednesday got its first look at its budget for the coming school year – and the following two years – a report that came with both good and bad news. The trustees also approved the contract for a new assistant superintendent and OK’d a new physical therapist position. This year’s budget projection shows a positive certification, meaning the district can cover its expenses for the next three years. But the three-year outlook also forecasts declining enrollment, which means less revenue for the district. According to PVUSD Chief Business Officer Joe Dominguez, the district lost 163 students between the 2018-19 school years, and is predicted to lose an additional 57 for the 2020-21 year. That number jumps to 186 in 2012/22. With Average Daily Attendance state funding at $17,116 per student this year, those numbers translate to a real loss for the district. That comes in part from California’s declining population, Dominguez said. According to the California Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state on average has lost 1 million residents annually between 2006-2016 to domestic migration. “We do see a trend as a state that people are moving outside the state of California, and less homes are being built, and it is expensive to live California, as we all know,” Dominguez said. PVUSD’s declining enrollment can also be attributed to Watsonville Prep School, a charter school that was approved early this year. The school plans to open in the fall with 175 students, most of which came from PVUSD schools. Dominguez urged the trustees to practice financial restraint as they make budget decisions, as the district faces decreasing ending fund balances for the next three years. According to Dominguez, the district ends this school year with a $26.3 million ending balance, and is projected to end next year with a $10.18 million ending balance. That number climbs slightly to $10.87 million in 2020-21, and rises slightly to $14.25 million a year later. “We are very lean as a district, and so I want to just bring up fiscal caution and making sure we do our part in the necessary adjustments we need to take,” he said. The PVUSD budget could change when Gov. Gavin Newsom introduces the state budget in the middle of June. The district will then have 45 days to revise its budget based on the state’s numbers. The final budget must be adopted by July 1.

The position will pay from $77,280 to $103,578. Shanks said the district will recruit for the position in-house. The trustees approved the plan 6-0. Trustee Georgia Acosta was absent. ••• The trustees also approved an Academic School Specialist, a Teacher On Special Assignment that will provide academic support in English and math at Radcliff Elementary, EA Hall Middle School, New School High School and Renaissance High School.

The focus on English learners, said Superintendent Michelle Rodriguez, will in turn bolster achievement for every student. “We have a saying,” she said. “When you focus on the most vulnerable students, everyone wins.”

Papás ready to honor fathers in 13th annual celebration By TONY NUNEZ OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Papás of the Central Coast will host its 13th annual Father’s Day Celebration on Saturday at Ramsay Park in Watsonville. In keeping with this year’s circus theme, the celebration will feature face painting, carnivalstyle games and activities, professional clowns and slack rope walkers. Free hot dogs, burgers, cotton candy, popcorn and raffle prizes will also be available. The band Sweet Spice, Taiko Drummers of Watsonville and folklorico groups Estrellas de Esperanza and Esperanza del Valle will provide additional entertainment. The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. Papás group facilitator Eric Bruckner called the event the organization’s “crown jewel.” “It’s a celebration for fathers

and the connection with their kids,” Bruckner said. An organization under Encompass Community Services, Papás helps fathers or father figures for youth in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties by teaching them the ins and outs of fatherhood, including how to communicate with their child, deal with stress and correctly budget time and funds. Bruckner said Papás has found its niche in the community because it also helps fathers find or improve employment opportunities and other services like free transportation, meals, childcare and case management. “The main reason why we’re successful is because it’s dads supporting dads,” he said. “Too often we don’t give fathers the tools and help — they get pushed aside, frustrated and give up. We want to help them.”

Rape, murder suspect in court Miguel Loza arrested in Mexico By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

SANTA CRUZ — Miguel Loza, the man suspected of raping two 17-year-old girls and killing one of them in 2003, made his first appearance in Santa Cruz County Superior Court Friday after being extradited from Mexico, where he had been living. Loza, 43, pleaded not guilty while accompanied by defense attorney Heather Rogers. He is being held in Santa Cruz County Jail without bail. “Loza was advised of the charges against him,” said assistant District Attorney Celia Rowland. “The charges are murder. There are a number of different sexual assault offenses that relate to the second victim in the case who is a juvenile. And there are special circumstances that relate to the fact that it was a burglary where they were when the crimes took places as well as the sexual assault offenses.” Rowland said Loza could face life in prison without the possibility of parole. L oza has been living in Mexico City and working as a day laborer, District Attorney Jeff Rosell said. He is accused of stabbing and raping Jessica Sheridan, who was his girlfriend, on Feb. 10, 2003. He also allegedly raped Sheridan’s friend. The

Two arrested after thwarted drug robbery By TODD GUILD OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

BEN LOMOND — Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday arrested two men from Texas after they allegedly tied up two people, beat one of them and stole 30 pounds of marijuana during an illegal drug transaction. N o a h Benjamin Hatcher, 21, and Anthony Charles Jefferson, 31, also reportedly fled into Hatcher the nearby woods after the robbery, police said. Both were charged with robbery, kidnapping, assault with a firearm, con- Jefferson spiracy and resisting arrest. They were being held in Santa Cruz

County Jail Thursday in lieu of $150,000 bail, jail records showed. According to Santa Cruz County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Dee Baldwin, Hatcher and Jefferson went to a residence in Ben Lomond to purchase 10 pounds of marijuana. Instead, they allegedly tied two residents up with zip ties, beat one of them in the head with a gun and then stole 30 pounds of marijuana. The victim was treated and later released from the hospital. S h e r i f f ’s d e p u t i e s r e sponded to a 911 call from the residence, Baldwin said. The suspects ran into the woods as deputies arrived and law enforcement officials conducted a search that included an airplane, a helicopter, three K9 officers and a drone. Officers from Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz police departments, State Parks rangers, and the California

Bonnie Louise Mahler

Bonnie Louise Mahler passed away peacefully at her home in Aromas on June 8, 2019. She had most recently celebrated her 85th birthday on March 10th with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren present. Bonnie was born and lived her entire life in the community she loved, Aromas. She passed in the family home that her and her late husband Paul R. Mahler built together over 60 years ago. Bonnie was a woman of many talents and accomplishments. She was a successful business woman who owned and operated both a beauty shop in her early adult years, and later in life, a popular Aromas deli café called the Ducky Deli. She served on both the Aromas water board and local school board. Bonnie, and generations of ancestral family who also lived in Aromas, made Bonnie somewhat of an expert on her beloved community’s history. She also taught Sunday school at her community church while raising her children. She was a successful real estate associate and developer as well. Bonnie loved relaxing in the outdoors. She loved boating, camping, gardening and just about any activity that involved celebrating life with family and friends. More than anything else, Bonnie cherished her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and mentor to countless people in her lifetime. She believed in giving back to her community, family, and friends and touched many lives in that endeavor. She truly embodied the meaning of a life well lived. Bonnie is survived by her children, Ken (Brenda) Mahler, Cindy (Paul) Lerma, Kevin (Melanie) Mahler, all of Aromas; siblings Karen Mendonca, and Neil Marshall of Aromas. She is also survived by grandchildren, Kevin (Christina) Mahler, Kyle (Jazmin) Mahler, Shawn Lerma, Megan (Julian) Arias, Ignacio Lopez, Alli (Reno) Morella, and Cody (Jessika) Mahler; great-grandchildren, Shealyn, Kenny, Emma, Luke, and Everette; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and other extended family members. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2019 from 11am-2pm at the Aromas Grange Hall. Mehl’s Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the arrangements.

Highway Patrol helped in the search. Neighbors were directed to stay in their homes while the search occurred. Hatcher was arrested within about 30 minutes, Jefferson was arrested “a significant distance from the victim’s home” soon thereafter, Baldwin said. Deputies found two replica handguns that had been used in the robbery. The marijuana, which was estimated to be worth about $50,000, was recovered outside of the home. It is not yet clear whether the residents will face charges for the marijuana possession. “That will be determined during the course of the investigation,” Baldwin said.

Thanks, dad — for everything

unday is Father’s Day. The day is a celebration honoring fathers and fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society. I was lucky to have an incredible dad. Though he died many years ago I still think about him when I’m awake and in my dreams. He was an artist and taught sculpting and ceramics at the university level. Quiet, respectful, a good listener and a prolific reader, he continually amazed me with his keen insight into humankind and the ways of the world. He had no tolerance for nonsenses talk, put downs or falsehoods. There was no place in his life or our family’s life for racism or mean treatment of others. He showed enormous respect for the underprivileged and downtrodden. Not that every word out of him was brilliant, but he was a very sharp wordsmith. He could squeak by in Russian, spoke fluent Finnish (not an easy language), and Swedish and could slip by in German. Born in 1916 in Akron, Ohio, he moved about in various fragmented family ar-

On My Mind Tarmo Hannula rangements. His dad was a violinmaker, among other things. My dad, Walter A. Hannula, eventually moved to Brooklyn where he ventured into manhood. He told me he was really poor and barely made it through several brutal winters. He said he terribly envied people on the streets that had big warm coats and scarves and furry gloves. He and his pals, in winter, would often duck into a large department stores just to soak up some of the heat before trudging back out into the snow. Eventually the draft caught up with him. He moved to Finland, then to Sweden, then back to the U.S. where he was drafted into the U.S. Army and was sent to New Guinea during World War II. He worked for four years in a radar tent. Eventually he cracked under the pressure of endless nights

of having their camp bombed from the air. When he got out of the Army he moved to Santa Barbara where, under the GI Bill, he studied art at UC Santa Barbara. That’s where he met my mother, on a bulletin board, where she was selling some of her textbooks. He spotted her last name and knew it was Finnish, like his own. Thus, a marriage and four kids were in the works. As my father’s career got under way, after he claimed a masters at the University of Oregon at Eugene, his engagement with alcohol also began to take hold. He ended up drinking heavily as the years piled on. We moved around a bit, from Eugene to Washington D.C., then to the little island of Guam where both my folks worked at the Univ. of Guam. That’s the place, as a teen, I really started to see how alcoholism was a major part of our family. And it was never addressed. Everyone looked the other way as my dad stumbled about the house, red-eyed, stoned on booze. He was a running joke around the neighborhood with all my friends as they snickered while he tried to walk off the booze

in a staggering gate. I cringed at the teasing and pretended it wasn’t really happening. But still, I looked up to the man because he was so warm and funny and helpful. He helped me get going in music, in drawing, in ceramics and learning to love books. Our father took us kids to the library all the time, even when we were really young. I still recall heading home on those warm D.C. nights with a pile of books under my arm, so excited have something to read. Dad eventually walked away from alcohol the last two decades of his life. He did it on his own. One day, as a teen I asked him if it was hard to quit and he simply said, “No, not really; you just have to want to do it.” He wrote me mountains of letters in my college days and deep into my adulthood. He was an amazing writer. His letters were loaded with inspiration, advise (not pushy), jokes, unique observations and philosophy. I still hold onto to those letters and yank them out now and again and still glean great ideas.

Picking the President’s Team

ne of the most important first tasks of an incoming president is nominating the men and women who will serve as the cabinet. Each nominee, as well as nominees for federal judges and more rarely, Supreme Court, must go through Senate confirmation. For the most part, our norms have been that with only a few exceptions, these nominees secure approval. Congress has traditionally been non-partisan about these nominees Each president has his own process for selecting this team. Abraham Lincoln provided a sterling example: he selected his most vociferous rivals to serve in his administration because he recognized their abilities. He converted “enemies” into admirers and gave history such excellent administrators as Secretary of State, William H. Seward, Attorney General Edward Bates, Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, among others. His one bad choice was a political one: choosing a Southern Democrat, Andrew Johnson, for Vice President. This was done in the hope of political reconciliation. Johnson became President after Lincoln’s assassination. He did everything he could to undo the Reconstruction, was impeached and nearly convicted. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to office during the great depression, a period of great danger to our society.

Local Columnist Dr. Farhat-Holzman He selected as his cabinet a “brain trust,” the smartest, most capable cabinet we have ever had, including the first woman to be named Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins. He had no vanity about admitting that he didn’t know everything, but was willing to surround himself with the best. He chose Joseph Kennedy to be the first chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission because he knew that Kennedy, a slick operator, knew every corrupt trick. Kennedy indeed cleaned up all the corruption. President Nixon followed a different model in selecting his cabinet. He appointed people, including his Attorney General, who would put loyalty to him above their duty to the country. Nixon was removed from his presidency and a number of his cabinet members had jail sentences for their corruption. Among his Supreme Court nominations were Clement Haynsworth and G. Harold Carswell, who were rejected by

the Senate as unqualified. They were both regarded as mediocre minds. However, one very qualified nominee for Deputy Solicitor General, Jewel Lafontant, was rejected because she was African-American. Most presidents make appointments from their own parties. However, several have done otherwise. FDR appointed a long list of Republicans who served him well. John F. Kennedy did the same, as did Lyndon B. Johnson, perhaps the most astute politician of them all. Even Ronald Reagan did the same, many of whom served him well. All the presidents after Reagan also nominated across party lines, including some of Donald Trump’s first nominees, with the exception of judicial appointments, all of whom representing the most extreme Republican conservatives. He has since nominated cabinet officers who, had there been a bipartisan Senate, would never have been confirmed due to conflicts of interest. Were this a normal presidency (one following norms), his own party in the Senate would have rejected such nominations. But there have been a few nominations for Federal Judge positions whom even the partisan Republicans could not stomach. One such was Matthew Petersen, who admitted that he had never tried a case

in court; after sarcastic Republican questioning, he withdrew his name. Another equally unqualified candidate, Brett Talley, rejected by the American Bar Association, a man with no trial experience, has nonetheless been advanced by a Republican vote to full Senate approval. Another Trump judicial nominee, Wendy Vitter, refused to say if “Brown v. Board of Education” was correctly decided. This casts suspicion on her views about desegregation. In addition, she has left a trail of opinions in print that promote conspiracy theories: such as claiming that abortion and contraception cause cancer. It is difficult to imagine this woman as a lifetime judge in the US District Court of Louisiana, yet the Republicans have pushed her forward. We are living through a presidency that has violated every norm of behavior and judgment that we formerly took for granted. He is a wrecking ball of democratic institutions and appoints people of like character. ••• Laina Farhat-Holzman is a historian, lecturer and author of “God’s Law or Man’s Law.” You may contact her at Lfarhat102@aol.com or www. globalthink.net.

President Trump befuddles Europe

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Justice To the Editor, I was very pleased to read of the capture and extradition of Miguel Ramirez Loza, who had been on the run since 2003 for a variety of felonies committed in Santa Cruz County, including being suspected of raping two 17-year-old girls and murdering one (Register-Pajaronian; June 7-13, 2019). It was satisfying to see the way Mexico and the U.S. worked together to bring him back here to face charges. Anyway, this murderous monster, now in handcuffs and wearing jailhouse orange, is no longer roaming the streets and he can no longer brutally attack anyone else. This guy should take to heart an old phrase, “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.”

resident Trump’s European trip earlier this month was nervously anticipated to be an improvement over the experience of last year’s visit, but still expected to contain some surprises and awkward situations, some potentially consequential, and others relegated to fodder for the talk show circuit. Some controversies already preceded the flight from Washington D.C. Mr. Trump’s ongoing feud with London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan had been in the headlines for days, and his characterization of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, as “nasty” during an interview rankled more than some royal feathers. Helicopters transported Mr. and Mrs. Trump from Stansted Airport to Buckingham Palace, where they were received by Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla. Mr. Trump would later claim that they flew over thousands of cheering supporters in downtown London, not recognizing that these were actually protesters expressing their disapproval of his presence. The pomp and ceremony at Buckingham Palace fit President Trump very well. He appeared well coached and scripted, acting statesman-like. Trump, being Trump, was very pleased with himself. After the state dinner, he soon boasted about having had “automatic chemistry” with the queen. When asked during a Fox interview if he fist-bumped the queen, he said: “I did not, but I had a great relationship, we had a really great time. There are those that say they have never seen the queen have a better time, a more animated time…We just had a great time together.” (The Guardian, Jun. 7, 2019). Queen Elizabeth, who has met with 12 U.S. presidents since 1951, was predictably not asked for a comment. After insulting Prime Minister Theresa May during their last visit, this year’s face-to-face meeting was much more civil. Mr. Trump actually managed to compliment the outgoing P.M. on her negotiating efforts

with the European Union. He did, however, all but encourage the U.K. to pursue a “no deal Brexit,” a scenario British lawmakers adamantly oppose. He also strongly suggested that Nigel Farage, a supporter and leader of the recently formed “Brexit Party,” should lead ongoing negotiations with the E.U. And, while he continued providing unwelcome advise, he also insinuated that former U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, an old friend, should replace Theresa May as leader of the Conservative Party and as Prime Minister (To not hurt his chances of being elected, Mr. Johnson declined to meet with the president). He finally proposed a post Brexit free trade agreement with the U.S., but stipulated that everything, including the popular British healthcare system, should be on the table. A deal breaker for anyone in his audience. The interview with Piers Morgan for “Good Morning Britain” should probably never have happened. The President appeared very uncomfortable when Morgan asked him how he evaded the draft during the Vietnam war. Trump received four student deferments and two medical excuses for bone spurs. Trump’s rambling explanation quickly made the news: “I was never a fan of that war, I’ll be honest with you. I thought it was a terrible war; I thought it was very far away. You’re talking about Vietnam. At that time nobody had ever heard of that country.”

His televised pep-talk to Ireland’s Prime Minister Leo Varadkar became another awkward moment. Referring to Brexit, a hot topic of significant concern in Ireland, Trump said: “I think it will all work out very well, and also for you with your wall, your border. I mean, we have a border situation in the United States, and you have one over here. But I hear it’s going to work out very well here.” Mr. Varadkar’s retort that Ireland would like “to avoid a border or wall” did not seem to penetrate or resonate. Aside from the state visit, the other featured objective of Trump’s visit to Europe at this time of the year was to participate in the commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day at the “Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial” in Colleville-sur-Mer in France. President Trump managed to do a commendable job during the solemn and emotional ceremony. However, even here he managed to redirect attention onto himself. With the D-Day ceremony as a backdrop, and the 9,388 white crosses covering burial sites behind him, he inserted a sit-down interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, during which he blasted his political rivals at home. At some point he suggested that the officials attending probably did not recognize that he was the one holding up the entire ceremony just to do that interview. Even Ingraham admitted that that was fake news.

A final parting gift to the pundits surfaced during the family’s trip home. Becoming aware that NASA planned to go back to the moon during the coming few years, something Trump actually proposed not too long ago, he flipped on his space objectives, tweeting: “For all the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the moon – we did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including MARS (of which the Moon is a part). Defence and Science!” For some in the Trump entourage this may have counted as enlightenment. For many at home and abroad this tweet simply represented pure nonsense. Most controversial statements chronicled during Mr. Trump’s European trip this time around are attributable to self-aggrandisement, and expressions of mostly unwelcome opinions fueled by narcissism and essential ignorance of the political climate on the ground. I am certain that many in Europe anticipated much of this.

If Russia investigation is a ‘hoax,’ why is Manafort chilling in prison?

iddle me this: Exactly how did the Deep State, anti-Trump conspirators in the FBI and CIA persuade Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort to hand over sensitive internal polling data to a Russian spy? Not to mention, what did Konstantin Kilimnik do with it? More to the point, how is Attorney General William Barr going to explain it away? Particularly in view of the fact that Manafort remains locked up in a federal slammer, having violated a plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller for lying to investigators about that very thing. Because if Barr can’t explain, then all of his weaselworded insinuations about the FBI “spying” on the Trump campaign stand revealed for what they are: the desperate rationalizations of a cunning political operative willing to play along with an absurd conspiracy theory concocted to appease Donald J. Trump and distract his fervid supporters. According to hardcore Trumpists, see, the only real misconduct that took place during the 2016 presidential election was the Russia investigation itself: a hoax cooked up by a cabal of intelligence professionals directed by the Obama White House. A “coup” attempt, Trump calls it. He’s even used the word “treason,” as if he himself were the United States. Hint: He’s not. More excitable Trump cultists are even predicting election year show trials in 2020. Appearing recently on Fox News, longtime Trump associate Corey Lewandowski

National Columnist

Gene Lyons listed several high-ranking FBI officials he expected to see indicted, especially former Director James Comey for “crimes ... against the Fourth Amendment.” Whatever those are. Former CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. were also mentioned. Can we pause for a moment here to observe that the U.S. government purging its own intelligence agencies would be a fulfillment of Vladimir Putin’s dreams? Such a spectacle could only make the onetime KGB agent and Russian dictator nostalgic for the Soviet Union’s glory days. But back to Trump campaign director Manafort’s secretive meeting with Kilimnik, the Russian spy. Assistant campaign director Rick Gates also attended. A longtime Manafort employee during his days working for pro-Russian Ukrainian strongman Viktor Yanukovych, Kilimnik flew in from Moscow. Hardly, then, a casual get-together. They referred to Yanukovych, deposed and exiled to Russia, in coded messages as “the guy who gave you your biggest black caviar jar.” The meeting took place at the height of the campaign, on Aug. 2, 2016, in the Grand

Havana Room, a penthouse cigar bar with dramatic views of the Manhattan skyline, very near Trump Tower. Tellingly, all three left by separate exits. According to the Mueller report, they discussed a Ukraine “peace plan” Kilimnik had in mind, essentially a free hand for Moscow. He hoped Trump would endorse it, which, given the candidate’s repetition of Russian talking points about the occupation of Crimea, certainly seemed possible, although it never happened. (Media accounts of Manafort’s previous political work for Yanukovych led him to resign from the Trump campaign soon afterward.) Only days before, Wikileaks had published the first batch of stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee to great fanfare. Democrats blamed Russian hackers, an accusation U.S. intelligence agencies ultimately confirmed. Manafort has never come clean about the episode. Perhaps seeking a pardon from Trump, or possibly fearful of crossing the Russians, he has chosen prison -- a standup guy if you learned your ethics from “Godfather” films. According to the Mueller report, Manafort “lied to the Office and the grand jury about the peace plan and his meetings with Kilimnik, and his unreliability on this subject was among the reasons that the district judge found that he breached his cooperation agreement.” Even so, Mueller established that the three chums discussed something else in the Grand Havana Room:

Trump campaign tactics for the so-called “battleground states” of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Minnesota. In short, information useful for anybody planning an online disinformation campaign like the one Russian operatives successfully deployed. Detailed internal polling would have been very useful to such an effort. But Manafort lied, and the Russians aren’t talking. So in the end, no conspiracy could be proved. For all the circumstantial evidence, the Mueller report concluded that “because of questions about Manafort’s credibility and our limited ability to gather evidence on what happened to the polling data after it was sent to Kilimnik, the Office could not assess what Kilimnik (or others he may have given it to) did with it.” That said, an innocent explanation for Manafort’s actions would be hard to imagine. But that’s not the point. It’s preposterous to imagine that Comey made him do it. Indeed, if they knew the facts, most Americans would think that it would be a dereliction of duty for FBI counterintelligence officers not to investigate. Put Comey on trial? Not a chance. Barr may be an opportunist, but he’s not fool enough to volunteer to lose the trial of the century. ••• Arkansas Times columnist Gene Lyons is a National Magazine Award winner and co-author of “The Hunting of the President” (St. Martin’s Press, 2000).

This is about a terrible, avoidable problem in parking at the large lot right outside the Adult Education building at 320 Rodriguez St., now with the highfalutin name on its side in bold letters: “INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE,” which even newcomers in the early 1970s and for many years after remember as a Langendorf Bakery outlet. Now remodeled, it has a large lounge, office, about six classrooms and other offices. While it is understandable that the City of Watsonville, via its parking control officer, issues citations for vehicles parked longer than two hours in one spot, it is both ignorant and cruel to ask instructors to interrupt their classes to go out and relocate, hoping they don’t have to exit a full lot and seek parking as near as possible. As an example, for the last couple of sessions of a great acrylic panting class taught by the inspiring and inventive Cindy Kaskey, she was kicked out of the main PVUSD building “The Towers” on Green Valley Road because these were “non-academic classes.” At the Rodriguez site, not only have students had to scramble to move vehicles (the classes being two-and-a-half hours), but also our great teachers and all the others in the morning and afternoon until about 6 p.m. have to watch the clock to be sure they don’t “overpark.” While the present writer benefits from a handicapped sign allowing not only unlimited parking in designated areas but in any and all of the public parking in this lot and throughout the city, and it would be unfair to give regular students special stickers even for their class days and times, surely the officials in Adult Ed., the Supervisor of the PVUSD and the Police Department could agree to provide instructors at this site some sort of passes to be displayed while teaching there. Ms. Kaskey and many other teachers at this site have found violation tickets for $47, an outrage. This writer was cited way back in the early ‘70s by an efficient patrolling officer. But the tickets were $3, then $4, so today’s citations should only be about one half the current unfair and exorbitant $47. Fix this. Richard Lynde Watsonville

‘We fell in love’ To the Editor, I heard a program recently that might have blown my mind but for one thing: one of the prominent personalities featured was Donald Trump. The theme of the program was the leaders of North Korea, particularly Kim Jong Un, who was described as a most brutal and inhuman man and how he and his family became the leaders of that country. How can one know what was in Trump’s head before his first meeting with Kim? Prior to the meeting, Trump hadn’t much flattering to say about Kim. But ever since, he speaks of him very fondly, like “we fell in love. He writes me beautiful letters.” Presently, Trump has nothing bad to say about Un, who spends most of his national budget on the military and weaponry while citizens starve and many die of hunger. Trump is totally unfit for the presidency. I live for the day he leaves it, either by losing reelection or impeachment, but in disgrace. Meanwhile, should he commit more stupidity like his relations with Kim, my wish would be to “Lock him up!” Thomas Stumbaugh Aptos

ONLINE CHATTER Regarding the sale of Watsonville Community Hospital Let’s see what happens...at first they say good stuff then they turn a different story..hope it works for us in Watsonville. Barbara Leon From Facebook Watsonville community is NOT the worst ever, but it is rather removed from the needs of the community and too expensive. I am hopeful this change of ownership will help. Steve Trujillo From R-P website I worked at a small community hospital in the central valley that was bought by a private owner who never ran a hospital. Ultimately, the hospital was shut down and the owner was not doing the right thing for the hospital. Further, he bought a second small district hospital and was sharing equipment that was not legal. I am not saying this will happen here because every organization needs a chance to prove themselves. A citizen review board should be established to ensure hospital is working to help the community and be able to provide feedback. I would also suggest recruitment of graduate MD’s in different disciplines to give the citizens of Watsonville a choice to keep their medical services local. Further, hospital should buy a group of homes to house these MD’s as well. The last thing I would suggest is to invest in their own hospital based emergency ambulance services. Providing 911 service from a hospital based ambulance ensures that the community is covered and not have to wait for AMR or any other private ambulance for service or rely on anyone but their own service. Make the Medics and EMTs employees. Good luck to you Watsonville and hope that all works to provide the community with well diverse care and services. Tom Woodland From R-P website

WHS golf tournament continues growth By TONY NUNEZ OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Watsonville High School’s Alumni Golf Tournament is heading into its 11th year, and, like the school’s mascot, it is doing so with a fierce roar. Tournament Director Brad Hubbard said the tournament will have more than 100 golfers play Spring Hills Golf Course in Watsonville today. The goal, Hubbard said, was to get 144. “But breaking 100 is really good for us,” said Hubbard, the school’s former longtime athletic director. “Getting 144 would’ve been a busy time, but a fun time. It’s still a win-win for everyone.” Lunch and registration for the tournament starts at 11:30 a.m. Action gets going at 1 p.m. Watsonville Athletic Director Marcus Northcutt said day-of registration is welcomed. It is $125 for entry, which includes access to a golf cart, a bag lunch and a dinner following the tournament at 5:30 p.m. The tournament is one of many fundraisers for the school’s athletics program. The money raised from this year’s tournament, Hubbard said,

will likely go toward making improvements on the school’s athletic fields, primarily the softball and baseball diamonds. “This tournament helps us get jump-started for the following year,” Hubbard said. “It takes a little bit of the pressure off.” Hubbard said the tournament struggled in its early years, but has started to make steady growth since moving over to Spring Hills four years ago. A year ago the tournament had 93 golfers, and the year before roughly 70 participated. Having Anthony Gallino, Brett Meyers and Jess Sida help gather sponsorships has also given the tournament a boost, according to Hubbard, who also thanked the community for spreading the word through multiple avenues. “It feels like the tournament’s first year was four years ago. The tournament has taken on a whole new feel over the last few years,” Hubbard said. “We’re starting to get all the alumni that we were missing in the past. That’s what it’s all about, getting people to contribute back to their school.” The tournament this year is dedicated to Peggy Ernst and

Karen Wildman. Ernst help found the Watsonville High School Foundation and served as the president and treasurer. Wildman, meanwhile, was the booster club president and treasurer for many years. The two join previous honorees Don Melton and Donna Jean Busmire. Hubbard said the honorees “always had the right priorities and provided clear direction in supporting a broad range of programs and interests.” “Their dedicated efforts greatly improved and enhanced the educational and athletic experience of the Wildcatz athletes and made a positive and significant difference in their lives,” Hubbard said. Spring Hills tournament coordinator Bobby Powers said golfers can expect a tough but fun time and plenty of sun at the wide-open course off of Casserly Road. “On paper, it might look like an easy course, but it’s a little different when you get out there,” said Powers, who added that hole No. 18, which features a long drive downhill over water toward the clubhouse, is their signature hole.

Room. • June 20, 6-8 p.m.: Simpkins Swim Center, 979 17th Avenue in Santa Cruz. • June 21, 10 a.m.-noon: Watsonville Civic Center, 275 Main Street, 4th Floor Community Room The County’s existing voting system is obsolete and cannot be used after February 27, 2020. New systems must comply with the California Voting Systems Standards and be approved by the Secretary of State. Three voting systems currently meet the standards and are available for use in California. The Santa Cruz County Clerk has selected Dominion’s Democracy Suite, with the company having provided voting equipment to Santa Cruz County voters since 2006. The County Clerk plans to go before the Board of Supervisors in June with a contract to lease the new voting system using State matching funds appropriated to upgrade and replace aging voting systems throughout California. The total annual cost of $206,000 will be split between the County and State. The new system will be in place during the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election. The new system is also paper-based, with the process of marking a ballot changing slightly to require filling in a bubble rather than marking a line to indication a selection.

Life coach needs to stop giving advice for free

EAR HARRIETTE: I am a professional life coach. I help clients sort out their problems and make smarter choices. So far, it’s been going well. I mainly get clients through word of mouth. The one thing that I haven’t figured out is how to get my friends and family to pay for my services. It’s one thing to give a little advice here and there, but several people in my life go so far as to call me and to schedule time to pick my brain without ever considering that they should pay for my services. Meanwhile, they will pay for all kinds of other services, such as manicures, the hairdresser and all kinds of other beauty services. I don’t know why they should be more valuable than the services I offer. What can I do? — Time to Charge DEAR TIME TO CHARGE: Family members and friends often take loved ones for granted without meaning to. They are likely so accustomed to you doling out advice that it hasn’t occurred to them that they should pay. It can be difficult getting them to pay even after you make them aware of their behavior. One way to create boundaries around your work is to let them know that this is how you earn a living. Offer to “give” a half-hour of free advice. Any professional counseling time after that you can offer to them at a friends-andfamily discount. In this way, you let them know what your standard fees are and what you are willing to offer them. If they balk, stop giving them advice. Tell them you just want to hang out and enjoy each other’s company and not have to work. Then, stick to it.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY — Santa Cruz County and the Homeless Action Partnership (HAP) of Santa Cruz County are teaming up to reduce homelessness. A mong the plan are yearround shelter, and “housing navigation services” to help people find places to live. Under the plan, shelter services at the Salvation Army Community Corps Center on Laurel Street would remain open year-round, and the shelter at 1220 River Street would be extended through March 15, 2020. In addition, HAP approved funding to provide mobile hygiene and housing navigation services to help move homeless persons out of shelters and into permanent housing. “Ending homelessness demands a Housing First approach,” said Santa Cruz County Homeless Services Coordinator Rayne Marr. “Expanding shelter and day services will help stabilize vulnerable homeless persons, and the need for housing resolution services is so great that the HAP is moving forward with a plan to provide them while we continue searching for an appropriate venue to establish a permanent Navigation Center.” The combined sites would extend availability of 50 beds and 60 tent sites, with both venues previously set to close June 30. Both are operated by the Salvation Army, and include beds, meals, security, transportation, and access to health services. T he Salvation Army also operates the seasonal Winter Shelter Program in Live Oak, as well as the Salvation Army Day Center and 38-bed shelter in Watsonville, which will now operate 24/7 with expanded service capacity.

“The Salvation Army works to assure that all Santa Cruz County residents have a place to access food and lodging, and we are pleased to extend our partnership with the HAP,” Salvation Army Capt. Harold Laubach said. “The Salvation Army has been serving the local community for more than 130 years and we greatly appreciate the support of our volunteers, donors and especially our clients.” The Homeless Action Partnership plan includes funding that assures the continued availability of the Paul Lee Loft emergency shelter at the Homeless Services Center, which provides beds for up to 40 adults along with hygiene, client assessment, advocacy and other services. The Housing First model is a recognition that substance use disorder and mental health treatment are most effective when clients first have stable housing, which increases the likelihood that clients remain housed. The model has been endorsed by numerous federal, state and local agencies. HAP expects to begin providing the services by Aug. 1. A City of Santa Cruz Water Department project expected to commence in July at the 1220 River Street property is being delayed due to construction schedule changes, allowing the temporary encampment to extend operations under the standard operating procedures previously adopted by the Santa Cruz City Council. Funding for the plan is being provided through the Homeless Emergency Aid Program. Through its members, the Homeless Action Partnership continues working to identify additional appropriate sites for future navigation and shelter services. No sites have been identified at this time.

beginning in their freshman year with their main school building cordoned off and condemned by the ‘89 quake, and losing their principal Roger Mock this year when he was reassigned. Adversity followed them to their graduation

Vice-Principal Debbie Zehnder said, “We all feel it’s been a real positive year,” while veteran teacher Rudy Pedulla called the Class of ‘94, “as good as any.” 50 years ago on June 11, 1969: The father of Watsonville native and former Watsonville High student Sp/4 Steven Herring, 20, learned he was recently killed in action in Vietnam. Herring was a door gunner with the 116th Assault Helicopter Group, when his aircraft was shot down in enemy territory. He entered the Army on July, 1967, and was on his 2nd tour of Vietnam. In August of

1968, he received the Air Medal after completing 25 combat missions in five days. He was due to return to the States in less than two months. Two days after that sad news, word was received by parents from the Army that a second Watsonville man was killed earlier this month. Juan (John) D. Inguillo, 21, attended local schools, and was a member of Valley Catholic Church. In addition to his parents, he leaves two brothers and four sisters. These two deaths make a total of ten locals to die in Vietnam. 75 years ago on June 15, 1944: Lt. Frederick Streig, son of Mr. & Mrs. Fred Streig of the Chittenden district, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for as a member of the famous

Ponytail By Lee Holley

Skull and Crossbones Navy fighter squadron in the Solomon Islands area. Lt. Streig’s citation covers the period Oct. 27 to Dec. 1, 1942, and specifically mentioned an aerial battle over Empress Augusta Bay, Bougainville, Nov. 22, in which the local flier “repeatedly went down through anti-aircraft fire to destroy two enemy fighters and damage two others.” Officially credited with five and a half enemy planes, Lt. Streig participated in 37 combat missions. His squadron turned in probably the best combat record of any fighter squadron in the Navy, destroying 154 Japanese planes in the air and two on the ground, and sinking many enemy vessels without losing a single escorted bomber.

100 years ago on June 10, 1919: The mere mention of camp rouses within a red-blooded boy an intense desire for a taste of real life in the out-of-doors. Watsonville boys will have a chance to satisfy that desire with seven days of camp life in the Big Basin under auspices of our Y.M.C.A. It’s been three years since the local Y.M.C.A. has held its popular Boys Summer Camp, due to the unsettled conditions occasioned by the war, and its renewal will no doubt interest many local boys. It will be open to boys 10 to 19 years of age, with tents pitched at Chimney Tree Camp on Sempervirens Creek with its own swimming hole. Though far enough from the highway to give the feeling of being in the wilds, it is in easy hiking distance of Governor’s Camp which provides for water sports. Points of interest for hikers are Berry Falls, and Pine Mountain with its grand views of both valley and sea. ••• For questions or comments, email bankheadcolumn@aol. com.

Happy Father’s Day

or all the dads, Sunday will be a special day, a day set aside to herald your years of joy, laughs and sometimes tears. I remember the Saturday night as we were gong to bed, we heard a truck stop in front of the house with the cling of chains. It was a tow truck with our daughter’s car in tow. Our daughter was fine. She had spun out and blew all four tires. She held it in until we met her in the entryway, then she broke into tears, as did we. The tow truck driver was very good sharing something of the event, then bringing Sandy and the car home. I shed a few tears when I held Graham, my 1-day-old grand-

Memo From Pastor George

George Erickson son. He was still a bit wrinkled, but all there. I will call to say Happy Father’s Day on Sunday. My great granddaughter, Arlo, is now 2 years old. If we are with our kids on Father’s day it will be fun to ask “remember when?” But keep it short. The kids may become bored with old stories, some even funny, about them. Keep

it light, it is better to talk about today and tomorrow. Last week, I jumped the gun a bit writing about the man with two sons. The story is known as the prodigal son and the older brother (Luke 15:11-51) and, of course, the father. The age old question of dads and mothers is “How can children with the same parents, brought up in the same home, be so different?” And, if the question is asked early on, “How can we be fair to each one?” When our two girls were growing up, we had to be a bit stern with the older one just to get her attention. Then, the younger daughter was in tears. No, it was not fair to the younger

daughter. In a better place ( i.e. better parents) the younger daughter would be taken aside to explain the first step was getting her sisters attention, then begin the discussion about the immediate event. Looking back it is easy to analyze. In the moment, very difficult. High School was a trying time. The older girl sailed through with a strong ‘B’ average and many friends. The younger girl struggled, hated school, had a ‘C-‘ average and had one friend. How could we have a pleasant conversation at the dinner table abut the day? We tried. We talked about every thing except school, it was good. But school was the big thing in their lives. We meant well. They both went to community college on their way to a university. The younger daughter

had straight ‘As’ two semesters and had a great experience. All of that is being a parent. Father’s Day is a good time to recall the good times, the successes. Let all the rest go. As a pastor, counseling was a major part of the week at work. All kinds of people came through the door, most of them in the church family. My style was first to listen to hear their story. It was their moment to talk with an active listener. A fair amount of the counseling was with parents asking for help to resolve problems with their children. My major contribution was to listen. They described the problem from their point o view. Then their ideas about a first step toward a solution, getting on the same page and making the move forward (that sounds too simple to make real

change). My own view of pastoral counseling is to very quickly ascertain the depth of the problems and the limits of my expertise. It’s called ‘listen and refer’. I had the good fortune to have had two colleagues who accepted me as a part of the team. One was a psychiatrist, the other with a PhD. Together, we saw real growth and movement toward new possibilities. Most often, with a bit of help, they resolved their issues and moved on. Have a rich and rewarding father’s day. ••• George V.

Students receive President’s Environmental Youth Award REGISTER-PAJARONIAN STAFF REPORT

WAT S O N V I L L E — The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected the 2017-18 fifth grade class at Mt. Madonna School as the recipient of the President’s Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) for its work in fighting environmental threats faced by humpback whales. The awards are presented each year to exceptional students and teachers who demonstrate creativity, innovation and leadership to address difficult environmental challenges. “We’re proud to honor this special group of young leaders at Mt. Madonna School who are promoting whale conservation,” said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Mike Stoker. “These students are making a real difference by engaging their community, reducing plastic pollution, and teaching other students the importance of environmental stewardship. This class is an inspiring example of what’s possible when young students create solutions through passion and dedication.” The class was invited to Washington, D.C. on July 25 for a national ceremony recognizing all of the 2018 PEYA awardees. The fifth graders (now sixth graders) at Mt. Madonna won the award for their year-long environmental education and stewardship campaign titled “Whalemanji: Welcome to the Ocean, an Environmental Proj-

happening in some far-off land and it’s a threat to all of us,” said Mt. Madonna student Colby Culbertson. The students worked in conjunction with several environmental nonprofit organizations, including Marine Life Studies, to host an educational assembly about whales of the Monterey Bay and create conservation games for the WhaleFest event in Monterey. They also worked with The Last Plastic Straw to encourage local restaurants to reduce their use of plastic straws by using a compostable alternative, and the Centro

de Investigacion de Cetaceos (CEIC) de Costa Rica, where they encouraged the protection of the breeding and birthing ground of the whale at Golfo Dulce, and raised funds to support a “buddies” trip where some of the students worked with CEIC in research and public education. “After seeing the documentaries and our beaches, I realized how much plastic there really is in our oceans,” said student Kinsey Don Carlos. “It inspired me to help reduce the use of plastic and try and help save humpback whales and other animals threatened by plastic. Being recognized with this award is amazing. It shows how all of our hard work has paid off and that we really can make a difference.” In recognition of their efforts and project reach, in 2018 the students were invited to attend WE Day in Los Angeles, and also had the opportunity to present their work at the local Earth Day festival and the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s World Ocean Day celebration and Plastic Pollution Summit. This is the third time Mt. Madonna School fifth-grade students have received this national recognition. In 2017, students were awarded a PEYA for their 2015-16 work protecting Western Snowy Plovers. And in 2015, students won for their 2013-14 work to protect endangered sea turtles.

MIND From page A6

He had a major stroke in his 80s and for six years he had to deal with being on a cane, losing his voice and his ability to read or understand much. My amazing mom largely took care of him in those trying years. His last two weeks were spent in a care home and then one day he was gone. An hour before he died I was lucky to have kissed him on the forehead and say out loud to him, “Thank you, dad.” Included in this article is a photo of a sculpture my father made of sandstone back in the late 1950s, the “Mother and Child.” In some ways it made him kind if famous.

Its image appeared in Life and Time magazines and he got letters from all kinds of famous people thanking him for the beauty his art added to their lives. The piece was widely reproduced for decades and he was enormously proud of that. I guess that is one of the truly great treasures I have to thank him for: an appreciation of the arts. I just wish now I could show him some of the photos I have accrued over the years. He played a big role in getting me interested in photography as well. So thank you and happy Father’s Day. ••• Contact Register-Pajaronian photographer Tarmo Hannula at thannula@ register-pajaronian.com.

A slice of Hollister, Gilroy and Morgan Hill By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

(Editor’s Note: This is the second part of a multipart travel series in Hollister, Gilroy and Morgan Hill.) Last week we wrapped up exploring the outback in Hollister on Highway 25 and Panoche Road, where the famed bandit, Tiburcio Vasquez, roamed with his crew. We cruised along Highway 25 past the Hollister Municipal Airport through more strawberry fields, lettuce rows and construction projects. We swung right, because of clogged traffic on Shore Road and went out past San Felipe Lake and connected with Highway 152. After crossing over Highway 101 we slipped into Gilroy’s historical

district along Monterey Road. It’s always refreshing to be able to catch a convenient parking spot right in the center of the action without battling for parking. Sarah and I walked up and down the main drag taking in the bounty of older buildings, as we worked our way to the Fifth Street Coffee Roasting Co., 7501 Monterey Road. The popular business is situated in an older style Spanish building with a massive mural of a railroad engine splashed on the exterior wall by Scott Lance (2014). Right inside the door is their coffee roasting machine. The friendly staff fixed our drinks and we took a window seat to monitor the flow of foot and motor traffic. A passage from the book, “Bandito, the Life and Times

of Tiburcio Vasquez,” by John Boessenecker reads: “Having concluded to rob the stage between Gilroy and Pacheco, I took position with two men on a narrow lane, making an opening in the fence. I arrested all parties in either direction in advance of arrival of the stage. Taking them under some oak trees, I tied their hands behind their backs. Finally, when the stage approached, I saw it was covered with a multitude. However, I determined to take the chances. The coachman obeyed my order to turn and drive through the opening in the fence and halt under the oak trees. The passengers asked if it was life or money that I wanted. I replied that I only wanted their money. One señorita in the coach had burst

into tears, and taking off her watch, and a twenty-dollar piece and some small coin from her pockets, tendered them to me. I politely told her to keep them. She begged me not to injure her husband. I asked her to point out her husband, which she did, and I made him take a seat alongside her.” There are 16 references to Gilroy in the book and seven about Watsonville. Vasquez (1935-1975) was buried in the Mission Santa Clara Cemetery in Santa Clara. In 2010 Gilroy, in San Benito County, had a population of around 49,000 people. In early days, cattle ranching and timber were the moneymakers, eventually switching over to agriculture, mainly garlic. The Gilroy Garlic Festival is one of the world’s largest summer food festivals — three full days of food, drink, live entertainment and cooking competitions. Founded in 1979, the event is hosted by thousands of community volunteers who have raised millions of dollars for local schools, charities and non-profit organizations. This year the event runs July 26-28. On our way out of Gil-

roy we stumbled onto the LJB Farms roadside store. We were delighted to see a large selection of jams from Gizdich Ranch of Watsonville displayed inside an early day vault. Those jams always make for nice gifts. We picked one up for our friends, Ron Ward and his dad, Paul, who live in Morgan Hill. We’ve been going to their home for decades and have seen drastic changes in their neighborhood, which was once rolling pleasant hills of oaks, eucalyptus and gobs of poison oak. Hanging on the roadside by Ron and Paul’s stately Victorian home is a metal sign: Ward’s Oak Glen Farm 1894. The farm used to be a producing walnut farm that has now been put to sleep. Ron is helping to take care of his dad, who is 96. Paul is a living treasure trove of historical information about that area. Their land used to be surrounded by countryside, interrupted sporadically by small wood homes, shacks, a few barns and a sprinkling of cattle. Now massive castlelike estates dominate the region, with lengthy winding

driveways, four-car garages, security fences, swimming pools and tennis courts. After a brief visit, Sarah and I headed west over Highway 152 into Watsonville. Some day we hope to make it all the way into New Idria off of Highway 25, which was once deemed the “most famous quicksilver mine in the world.” How a mine becomes famous is a curiosity to me. But we also hope to go there to gather a greater sense of the days when Vasquez would maraud the area back in the 1800s.

La Manzana, which serves roughly 2,200 people a year, have helped numerous immigrants in Watsonville by giving them a safe space to ask for guidance without the fear of reporting to a government agency. The program helps people understand what services they’re eligible for, refers them to other locations for legal help and teaches them how to pay their taxes — among

other things. “We’re a trusted location because we’re a bilingual and bicultural staff,” he said. “There’s a whole disconnect with using public services and it effecting someone’s future immigration status. I’ve never talked to one immigrant that has ever said, ‘I never want to become a U.S. Citizen.’ That’s a dream for everybody, and no one wants to endanger that.”

as such can purchase WCH before the seller negotiates any other offers. The Health Trust has 45 days upon receiving notice to accept or reject the right of first refusal, James said. The Health Trust is asking the community to give its input about the impending sale. “We will operate openly with input from the community we serve,” James stated in a press release “We will also maintain a clear, fair decision-making process. Our decisions will be transparent and consistent with policy and demonstrated health needs. It will also ensure that the decision-making process is protected from undue influence from parties with self-interest.” James said the Health Trust is “taking the necessary steps to ensure the community has continued access to the quality health care it needs and deserves.” “Our intentions are to safeguard these services for the foreseeable future by confirming that parties who have expressed legitimate interest in ownership uphold this mission to provide the highest health standards available and the resources to support the community,” he said. Halsen Healthcare is made up of three partners who have a combined 90 years of experience running acute care facilities, Brothman said. “I couldn’t think of a better place to be the owner of a hospital than Watsonville,” Brothman said. “There is something about the community we really like.” It is not clear why Quorum Health Corporation made the sale. Corporation representatives did not return a call seeking comment. In a June 7 press release, Quorum Health Corporation said that divesting the 106-bed hospital will net the corporation approximately $35 to $40 million. These proceeds will be used to repay outstanding principal on the loan it used to purchase the hospital. Brothman said that Halsen

DeAndre James Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust Executive Director believes in the importance of community clinics, and in programs such as Medi-Cal and Federally Qualified Health Centers, which help low-income families access health care. He praised the Watsonville community “ We love the community, we love the people the hospital serves,” Brothman said. “We will preserve those relationships.” In preparing to take over the hospital, Brothman said that he has already spoken with many of the hospital’s employees, telling them they will have comparable benefits as they had with the previous company. He also said that long-time employees will get credit for their seniority. “We hope to add things, not take them away,” he said. Watsonville City Manager Matt Huffaker said the City’s goal is to “insure that this important resource is preserved.” “ Watsonville Community hospital has filled a critical need in meeting the health care needs of our community for decades,” Huffaker said. “We will be working closely with the Health Trust to learn more about what the buyer’s intentions are for the future of the hospital.” ••• To express comments, questions, or concerns to the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust at 85 Nielson Street in Watsonville, call 761.5639 or email info@pvhealthtrust.org.

included,” she said. “We’ll be paying artists for their designs. We want to get as many artists as possible to get involved. This project is not about me, it’s not my art; it’s about unifying images that will be thematically connected to one another. Anyone that wants to contribute to the city of Watsonville and its beauty is more than welcome to do so.” Crocetti added that project organizers are also looking for “angel donors,” people that can donate $20,000 a year for five years. Crocetti estimated the project will cost $1.5 million, and so far has raised $750,000 in donations. Rinaldi Tile of Watsonville will provide installation services, while Fireclay Tile of Aromas will donate the tile. Rinaldi Tile and Marble and Fireclay Tile have each said they will donate about $250,000 in labor or materials. “Generally, people don’t just have one heritage,” she said. “

We want to show current history and how we are connected to one another. Eventually there will be a website for people to see which family names are connected with who.” A major player in the project, Crocetti said, is Juan Fuentes, a Watsonville High graduate now in his 70s. On top of running a print shop in San Francisco, Pajaro Editions, he teaches art at San Francisco State. Fuentes has donated eight images of his own art that include indigenous women, a Guatemalan girl, a black woman, farmworkers and others. Crocetti said the images are being spread around the city for the community to help select what art will end up on the garage walls.

tasks that need to be done to make sure things run smoothly. He has, however, enjoyed the tournament as a spectator. “I love seeing tournaments, especially tournaments like this where you can see them grow year after year,” Powers said. “The people running this tournament have really worked hard to make this thing a success.”

The voter-approved tax, according to an annual report from an oversight committee presented at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, generated roughly $3.9 million for public safety — 40 percent going to the Watsonville Fire and rest to Watsonville Police Department. “[Renewing Measure G] is honestly the biggest thing you can do right now for the city,” she said.

started to look for other ways to generate sales tax. City Manager Matt Huffaker highlighted the city’s focus on restructuring and rethinking its downtown to bring in more business, and, in turn, more sales and property tax. Huffaker also said the city should see a boost in tourism dollars when the 117-room Hampton Inn & Suites off Lee Road and a planned Hilton Hotel at the end of Main Street are completed in the near future. “Hotels do a number of things, they bring people into town that want to visit local restaurants and craft breweries and shop at local stores, but they also generate a bedroom tax,” Huffaker said. “We continue to put a major focus on economic development and look for those opportunities. Part of the challenge is many cities, for decades now, have been highly reliant upon sales tax,

The changes would create a savings of $1,031,579, according to city staff. The council will make a final decision on the budget at a meeting on June 25. “Any reduction is going to be painful,” said Administrative Services Director Cindy Czerwin. “We’re trying to make the reductions as slow and as less painful as possible.” The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), which manages the city’s pensions, is faced with an imbalance in its fund, paying out more in benefits than it is collecting from workers’ contributions. As a result, the agency announced in late 2016 that it would lower its discount rate from 7.5 percent to 7 percent over a period of three years, which means government agencies and other organizations that contract with CalPERS must pay more into the fund to address the imbalance. The increases in the general fund alone are expected to cost more than $10 million over the next five years, nearly triple the cost from 2014-15. That number could rise if the discount rate continues to drop as it has in recent years. “I think that it’s very likely that in two years from now I’ll be coming back to you and showing even a worse situation,” Czerwin said. The tapering of tax revenues has also put the city in a tight spot. Sales tax growth in recent years has been driven by automobile sales, a market which has steadily leveled out statewide. Without that boost the city has

Aptos High had a league-high five players named to the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League First Team at last week’s all-league coaches’ meeting. Mariners senior catcher Martina Churchill, junior infielder Shea Garcia, senior infielder Vanessa Segura, freshman pitcher Ada Neu and freshman outfielder Ashley Griffith were honored with spots on the first team. Aptos (16-10) finished second in the SCCAL and reached the Central Coast Section Division II semifinals for the first time since 1999. Churchill was named to the All-SCCAL First Team for a third time in four years. She made the cut last season as a first baseman and also made the team as a freshman.

Durant posted on social media Wednesday the severity of his injury two days after getting hurt during Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Toronto in his return from a strained right calf that sidelined him a month. The 30-year-old posted a photo on Instagram showing himself in a hospital bed and wrote: “I wanted to update you all: I did rupture my Achilles. Surgery was today and it was a success, EASY MONEY.” The Warriors said later Wednesday that Durant had the surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, performed by Dr. Martin O’Malley. – AP News Big Papi remains in hospital >> David Ortiz remains in guarded condition as he continues to “heal and make progress” at a hospital in Boston, his wife, Tiffany Ortiz, said in a statement released Thursday by the Boston Red Sox.

Churchill batted .440 with two doubles and 35 RBIs. Aptos coach Phil Rojas Jr. said Churchill was consistent with her bat and was clutch in big moments. “(Churchill) has this loose part of her that keeps the team loose and always not too caught up in the moment,” he said. Churchill also stepped up on the defensive side when she took over the catcher’s position following the graduation of Ashley Del Colletti. Churchill had a .964 fielding percentage. Rojas also praised his all-league catcher for having great communication with the pitchers. “The way she goes about the game, being loose and not getting too caught up… she would transfer that to the pitchers,” Rojas said.

No love for the U.S. women’s soccer?

1/2 years without a loss and the team record was 122-0 from 1996-2015. Aptos softball coach Phil Rojas Jr. was brought onboard as an assistant coach by Dorfman a little more than 11 years ago. Rojas took over as head coach five years ago and said as new coaches come in, Dorfman guides them to where the need to be because he assumed all the coaches were going to be there for a long time. “It’s kind of like he puts you on training wheels and then before you know it, you got it,” Rojas said. “There’s more than just coaching. It’s all the other stuff that comes with being the head coach.” Rojas said that meant keeping all the coaches certified and legal. “Keeping us on our toes, up to date on CCS rules,” he said. And like most of the curent or former coaches, Rojas said he’s going to

The Women’s World Cup got underway this past weekend and the United States is a heavy favorite to win the whole thing. The defending champs opened up with a smashing 13-0 win against Thailand in the first game of Group Stage F play on Tuesday afternoon. And to very little surprise, most people probably did not know the U.S. team was playing or that the World Cup was going on. It’s a bummer because these women are good. The U.S. women’s soccer team has won three championships, including a victory against Japan in last year’s title game in Canada. They’ve also played in the championship or a third place game since the World Cup started in 1991. The U.S. women are No. 1 in the FIFA world rankings and have outscored opponents 26-0 during the qualifying stage. Yet, it seems like they don’t get the love or respect that they deserve. I made several phone calls to bars and restaurants in Watsonville where I thought they might have a viewing party or at least something promoting Tuesday’s game. None of them had anything planned other than Happy Hour drink specials, which is not what I was looking for. It was also disappointing to know a lot of the sporting goods stores or soccer shops in the area didn’t carry any US women’s soccer apparel or a jersey for both of my nieces, Alexia and Jasmine. They are both under 10 years old and a big part of the target audience I hope is watching the World Cup. Perhaps it’s not that big of a deal, but it is to me. And I thought a big soccer community such as Watsonville would at least promote the Women’s World Cup for the young fans and future of the sport. It was heartbreaking to hear none of the places had at least some kind of viewing party. The San Jose Earthquakes are hosting viewing parties at Avaya Stadium every day the U.S. team plays, as well as the remainder of the

Mark Dorfman won 232 SCCAL titles and 30 Central Coast Section championships as athletic director at Aptos High.

THAT’S ALL, FOLKS Mark Dorfman retires after 30 years as Mariners’ Athletic Director

By JUAN REYES OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

APTOS — Mark Dorfman has spent most of his time inside his office or out on the field/gym as the athletic director for Aptos High over the past three decades. But after giving it much thought and consideration, especially for the kids, Dorfman has decided to step down after 30 years as head of the athletics program. “Time for someone with new energy and new vision to take over,” wrote Dorfman in an email. During his tenure as athletic director, Aptos High won 232 Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League titles, including 21 as the track coach, and 30 Central Coast Section championships. Dorfman was an assistant football coach for 26 years but took a few years off when he took over as the track and field coach for 13 years from 1995 to 2008. Dorfman officially an

nounced he was stepping down at the beginning of June but the idea of retiring started brewing sometime in November. Dorfman said he never pictured himself staying around as long as he did but something kept bringing him back. “The dedication of our student-athletes and coaches, they inspired me,” he said. Dorfman hired Dan Gruber as an assistant coach for the track team during the fall of 1991, which was shortly after he took over a parttime athletic director, coach and teacher. “I’m probably his closest work friend,” said Gruber with a chuckle. “We have this relationship where he yells at me and I pretend like I didn’t do it.” Gruber said his longtime co-worker developed not just teams but a complete athletic program. “He’s always had the utmost integrity,” Gruber said. “He would never blindside you and was

straight up. He wants to win the right way and he does it.” Gruber said he remembers Dorfman being competitive but a great sportsman who was respected by those he defeated and those who defeated Aptos High. “I don’t think anyone can give you a bad word for him,” Gruber said. Dorfman had plenty of personal achievements, including building an allweather track without Pajaro Valley Unified School District assistance thanks to help from many parents and the community. Dorfman also created the Aptos High School Sports Hall of Fame and teamed up with the leadership of the Aptos Sports Foundation to pay for the turf field, also without PVUSD assistance. As the track coach, he helped establish the second longest girls track and field dual meet winningstreak in California history. The Mariners went 18 and

miss the little talks they had and chatting about the small things. “I would go up there before practices maybe twice a week, into his office, just to check in I call it,” Rojas said. Jason Biancardi graduated from Aptos High in 2001 and Dorfman was his football coach at the time. Biancardi is now the head coach for the baseball team and has developed a special relationship with Dorfman. “It’s one thing to get along with your AD but to have a special bond is pretty cool,” Biancardi said. “He’s helped me a lot and I’ve learned a lot these past four years just with coaching.” Biancardi said Dorfman has gone out of his way to make sure he knows the rules and is learning on the job. “He really cares about the kids,” Biancardi said. “He’s not just there for the job, he’s there because he likes working with kids… He’s not there just overseeing things. I think it’s a passion of his and it makes it easy working with somebody like that.” Aptos football coach Randy Blankenship said Dorfman will be irreplaceable and was the best line coach he ever had. “(Dorfman) never saw a

32nd minute to tie the game at 1-all. The goal was assisted by Sung Yong Jung, his San Diego took its first lead of the game shortly after Kazuma Suzuki made his first goal of the season in the 44th minute to give the Zest a 2-1 lead going into halftime. Ettore Ballestracci tied the game after he knocked in a goal in the 49th minute to make it 2-2. He now has a team-high five goals. Joseph Bastian gave the Breakers back the lead when he made his first goal of the season during the 84th minute. Theo Delaleu finished with

seven saves for the Breakers, who are currently tied for second place with 13 points (4-5-1) in the Western Conference Southwest Division. Ventura County Fusion is also in second place with 13 points and FC Golden State Force has a division-leading 22 points.

touchdown scored, he was always watching his guys and they kept improving and improving,” Blankenship said. “He coined the phrase, ‘It’s a great day to be a Mariner’ and that’s exactly how he approached his job.” Blankenship said the longtime athletic director made sure the coaches did their jobs because the work reflected on him. “I think all the coaches try a little bit harder because Mark’s the guy in charge,” Blankenship said. Blankenship said what he’ll remember the most is the day Dorfman hired him as the coach of the football team. “He brought our family over here and gave us an opportunity and I’ll always be indebted to him for what he did for our family,” he said. Blankenship said Dorfman is a calming, insightful person who’s always looking on the bright side of things. Blankenship, who is entering his 10th year as the football coach, has been at eight different schools but said there’s been nobody like Dorfman, who has had a big influence for everybody at Aptos High. “(Dorfman) has been the best athletic director I’ve had,” Blankenship said. Dorfman said the heroes are the coaches, the studentathletes and their families.

Mark Dorfman, right, is stepping down as athletic director for Aptos High School after 30 years. He also coached the football team that included former NFL player Trent Dilfer. “They do all the hard work and heavy lifting,” he wrote. “I just try to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes for all of them and not mess things up.” Dorfman said he’s going to

miss all the friendships he’s forged over the years. Asked if there was any ultimate goal he wanted to achieve going into the job 30 years ago, he said: “Not really, I just wanted to do a good job.”

Garcia also repeated as a first team selection. She batted .500 with nine doubles, a triple, a home run, 21 RBIs and 22 runs scored. Garcia said she was excited for the honors but she was happier that her teammates were also recognized, especially the seniors. “I was just really proud of them,” said Garcia about Churchill and Segura. “It’s always fun to get that kind of stuff.” Segura finished the season batting .476 with six doubles, four triples, 27 runs scored and 15 RBIs. Griffith batted .434 with six doubles, a triple, two home runs, 30 runs scored and 14 RBIs. “I really trust the girls hitting behind me and in front of me, Vanessa (Segura) had a big year because she was getting a lot of good pitches to hit and she took advantage of that,” Garcia said.

Garcia said being named to the first team has been special both times, but last year’s award was a bit more memorable because Aptos won the SCCAL and it was officially her first season playing for the Mariners. “I think just being able to come in and have an opportunity to have an impact on the team was nice but it means the same to me both years,” Garcia said. Garcia did not produce the same numbers as her sophomore season because her opportunities were limited. Most opposing teams saw her success at the plate and started pitching around her. “I knew I would have to have maybe a little more of a patient mindset and make sure not to get myself out and to only be looking for hittable pitches,” Garcia said. Garcia said she had to take on a different role this year, which was to get on base and let her teammates do their job at the plate. Garcia had an on base per-

centage of .624 and a team-high 18 walks. But, she admits, it was frustrating not to see the “right” pitch and draw walks, especially as a hitter. “Everybody wants to be able to help their team,” she said. “But what I learned this year, and I’m thankful for the opportunity, is that there’s more than one way to help your team.” Neu was 9-6 overall — 7-2 in league — in 19 appearances in the circle and finished with a 3.15 ERA. She recorded 151 strikeouts and allowed 44 walks. Rojas said Neu opened a lot of eyes going into the season. The coach mentioned she joined the team as a freshman and not once did she try to step on a teammate’s toes. “(Neu’s) blessed to have the talent she has as a freshman and she’s definitely going to build from her freshman year into her sophomore year,” he said. “I’m excited to wait and see what happens.” Garcia said she also noticed Neu was playing the role of an underclassman, which is to

practice hard and let the play on the field speak for itself. “I think she did that,” Garcia said. “I think her presence was the most impressive because she didn’t make anybody feel like she was better than them.” Senior first baseman Julia Cano was named to the All-SCCAL Second Team. She finished the season batting .355 with eight doubles, three home runs, 17 RBIs and 13 runs scored. Sophomores Malia Serrano and Aliyah Garland and junior Zoe Kinsella-Montes were honorable mentions. San Lorenzo Valley High senior catcher Zoe Mendez repeated as the league’s Most Valuable Player and junior pitcher Madison Reger was named the Pitcher of the Year. Both played a huge part in helping the Cougars win an SCCAL title. SLV coach Mark Brown was given the Coach of the Year award. *All the stats in this story are from the MaxPreps website.

Frost, Schutte, Gallaher win main event features By DON MARTIN II FOR THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

WATSONVILLE — Adriane Frost won the 20-lap IMCA Sport Modified main event on Friday night at Ocean Speedway. It was an emotional second win of the season for Frost, who recently lost her mother, Sue Silveira. The win puts the Watsonville native in first place in the Ocean Speedway standings with 176 points and she became the first repeat winner in the IMCA SportMods this season. Justin McPherson led the race for two laps before a yellow flag was waved. Frost charged ahead of McPherson on the restart and ran smooth and consistent laps the rest of the way for an impressive victory. McPherson settled for second place, followed by Jarrod Mounce, state point-leader Guy Ahlwardt, Randy Miller, Rob Gallaher, Austin Williams, Billy Robertson, Tim Elias and Steven Allee. Frost and Elias won their respective eight-lap heat races. Midgets >> Alex Schutte won the 20-lap Midgets main event, which ended up being a shootout race involving the local Ocean Midgets and the

BCRA/POWRI Midgets. Schutte took the lead from Maria Cofer on lap three and stayed ahead until the yellow flag was waved on lap 12. But Schutte continued to lead Cofer and Ocean Speedway point leader David Prickett on the restart. He set a good pace and wasn’t seriously threatened on his way to a victory. Cofer had problems with her car and headed for the pits on lap 17, while Prickett finished second. Marvin Mitchell placed third followed by Joel Rayborne, Jackson Dukes, BCRA point leader Robert Carson, Cofer, Randi Pankratz, Larry Peterson and Greg Edenholm. Schuette set the fastest time on the quarter-mile clay oval with a lap of 13.530 seconds. Schutte and Peterson won their 10-lap heat race. Hobby Stock >> Rob Gallaher got his fourth win of the season in the 20-lap Hobby Stock main event. He also continues to hold his place as the current point leader (214) in the Ocean Speedway Hobby Stock standings. Nick Triolo had a front row start and set the early pace, while Jerry Skelton took second from DJ Keldsen on a lap three restart. Triolo surrendered the lead to Gallaher during lap 10 but a

yellow flag was waved moments after that. Triolo led the restart with Gallaher pressuring him hard. Gallaher finally made his winning move on lap 14 and took home the victory with Triolo not too far behind him in second place. Skelton settled for third, followed by Wally Kennedy, Ryan Muller, Joe Gallaher, Quentin Harris, Tony Oliveira and Keldsen. The two eight-lap heat race wins went to Keldsen and Joe Gallaher. South Bay Dwarf >> Shawn Jones won the 20-lap South Bay Dwarf Car main event in a toe-to-toe battle with two-time champion Terre Rothweiler. Jones, who is also a past champion with the group, set the pace early with Rothweiler. Antioch point leader Scott Dahlgren was also in the mix at the beginning. The only yellow flag of the race flew on lap nine for current point leader Mark Biscardi. Jones fell into second behind Rothweiler on the restart and began to put the pressure on him for the lead. Jones made his winning pass on lap 18 and brought it home to a satisfying win. Rothweiler settled for second, followed by Danny Wagner,

tournament. That sounds like a fun experience, but it’s still somewhat of a drive just to be around other fellow U.S. soccer fans. According to the Miami Herald, the 2015 final match drew 25.4 million U.S. television viewers, and 750 million fans worldwide tuned in over the four weeks. The World Cup was also a chance to get the National Women’s Soccer League jump started with teams such as the Houston Dash, North Carolina Courage, Orlando Pride and Portland Thorns. “But the women’s pro game hasn’t reached that level of popularity. Not even close. Hopefully, that will change some day,” wrote Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald. Across the pond, The Guardian reports women’s soccer is now more popular than men’s cricket in the television ratings.

According to a story, England’s win against Scotland on Sunday attracted an average audience of 4.6 million viewers to the BBC One network compared to 55,000 viewers for the men’s Cricket World Cup. “This set a new record for a women’s football match and left the broadcaster hopeful that millions of viewers will continue to tune in as both national teams progress through the tournament,” wrote Jim Waterson of The Guardian. It sounds like there might be a glimpse of hope for women’s soccer after all. But then there’s also the issue of the huge gender pay gap. According to Forbes, FIFA announced it was doubling the total prize money at the Women’s World Cup from $15 million to $30 million. But that’s far away from what the men got in last year’s tourney. The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia had 32 teams competing for a $400 million pot. Forbes also reported the French team, which won the

Dahlgren, Gene “Punky” Pires, Ryan Amlen, Trafton Chandler, Devan Kammermann, Eddy Claessen and Barry Waddell. Amlen won the eight-lap heat race. Police N’ Pursuit >> Jessie Mueller came through for the California Highway Patrol with a big win in the 15-lap Police N’ Pursuit main event. Mueller took the lead from San Benito Sheriff’s Office representative Roy Iler on lap 14 and never looked back as he drove off for the victory. Iler started on the front row and led much of the race with Justin Rhodes in close pursuit. Mueller moved past Rhodes for second on lap 12 and gained the lead two laps later. Rhodes finished second, followed by Iler, Steven Fernandes, Chris Murphy, Nate Graham, Pat Sullivan, John Hohmann, Adam Rikalo and Tony Weir. Hohmann and Fernandes won their respective eight-lap heat races. Up next >> The Taco Bravo Sprint Cars return to action on Friday along with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Four Bangers.

men’s event last year, took home $38 million in prize money. “If the U.S. does manage to retain the trophy, they will only take home $4 million,” wrote Niall McCarthy, a contributor for Forbes. Hope Solo, a former goalkeeper for the U.S. team, has been fighting in a lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation over equal pay. They play the same exact sport and have actually won World Cup titles unlike the men, who have only gone as far as finishing third during the 1930 tourney and most recently to the quarterfinals in 2002. I get it, the Women’s World Cup might not be as popular as the men’s quadrennial summer tourney, but something has to be done in order to get the U.S. women’s team the same amount of respect as the men’s, even if it’s a tiny viewing party. Next up, the U.S. women’s team plays against Chile in Group Stage F play on Sunday at 9 a.m.

Fun With Numbers 3 >> The amount of World Cup titles the U.S. women’s soccer team has won since the tournament started in 1991. Germany has the second most with two championships. 13 >> The amount of goals scored in Tuesday’s win against Thailand. It’s also more goals than the men’s soccer team has scored in every World Cup series since 2006 combined. $4 million >> The amount of money the U.S. women’s team can receive if they win the World Cup. The France team, which won the men’s event last year, took home $38 million in prize money. 184 >> The amount of goals scored by Amy Wambach, which is an all-time best for the U.S. women’s team. Current players with a hundred goals or more include Carli Lloyd (111) and Alex Morgan (106).

Pajaro Valley defends crosstown rivalry title

Juan Reyes/Register-Pajaronian

Pajaro Valley Little League team defeated Watsonville American majors in Tuesday’s District 39 TOC first round game. By JUAN REYES FOR THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

SANTA CRUZ — The unofficial title for little league majors champions of Watsonville was up for grabs on Tuesday. The Giants of Pajaro Valley came out on top against the Red Sox of Watsonville American, 7-4, in the first round of the District 39 Majors Tournament of Champions playoffs. “It took place in Santa Cruz but PV was happy to take it here,” said PV coach Andy Garcia. “We definitely have bragging rights now.” It’s the second-straight year Pajaro Valley has defeated a team from Watsonville American. “We were happy to defend our title,” Garcia said. Garcia said it was a close game in the beginning and credits the starting pitcher for Watsonville American. He said it took at least an inning for the players to get used to the speed of the ball. “Once we got used to him we started hitting off him after that,” Garcia said.“I think the regular season and the (PV) playoffs really helped them out,” Garcia said. Watsonville American got off to a fast start by taking an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. But PV came storming back in the second inning with

two runs to go ahead 2-1. Both teams scored once in the fourth inning and PV still had a 3-2 lead going into the fourth. Watsonville American tied the game at 3-all in the fifth, however, PV bested that by scoring four runs and never looked back. Watsonville American added another run in the sixth but it wasn’t enough to overcome the huge deficit. Watsonville American was eliminated from the TOC after a 15-1 loss against Capitola/ S o q u e l i n We d n e s d a y ’s elimination game. PV played yesterday against Aptos Little League, which won its opening round matchup on Monday against Santa Cruz National, 2-1. “Aptos is a quality team, too, and they’re real consistent every year,” Garcia said. Garcia said this year’s PV team is different because most of the players are coming in with a lot of experience, especially after those who were part of last year’s Padres team that made it to the TOC. This year’s Giants team won the PV playoffs by defeating the A’s, which finished with the league’s best record, in the finale. “I think the regular season and the (PV) playoffs really helped them out,” Garcia said.

to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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. ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 18-20992-SP-CA. 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.

It was created after artist Moto Ohtake expressed his concern that his piece might not be accurately displayed inside the small Pajaro Valley Gallery on Sudden Street. PV Arts was able to secure a grant from the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County to make “Sculpture Is” an annual event. The exhibit’s five-month-long run has become a tradition for the community, and continues to grow in size and scope. “It’s amazing to see what these artists come up with,” said Exhibit Coordinator Hedwig Heerschop. “I just wonder how See SCULPTURE, page C3

The grandeur of nature Paintings, woodblock prints on display at Santa Cruz County Building By TARMO HANNULA OF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

SANTA CRUZ — Ten paintings and two woodblock prints by Aaron Johnson are currently on exhibit at the Santa Cruz County Building. Johnson’s extra large oil paintings of serene woody scenes offer glimpses of calming forest landscapes with a keen grasp of lighting and shadows. His sense of graceful lines plays out in a web of tree limbs and trunks couched in a sweeping mix of foliage. Using the traditional medium of oil on linen, Johnson brings over 20 years of letterpress printing experience to the production of his woodcut prints. “Both techniques require patience, but encourage a slower, more contemplative way of looking than is common in our contemporary world,” Johnson said. Johnson studied art at UC Santa Cruz and has shown his work at Stanford University, the Triton Museum of Art and the San Diego Museum of Art, among scores of other spots. “I like having a show at the County Building,” he said. “All the works on exhibit are from Santa Cruz County.

FOOD

Maple, miso and salmon

ut on a pot of rice, make the sauce, steam the broccoli and you are just about ready to taste a wonderful combination of two ancient flavors, developed worlds apart and brought together here for this simple fish and vegetable dish. The discovery of taking sap from a maple tree and cooking it down to a sweet syrup has long been part of the diet, medicine, as well as myths and legends, of the Ottawa, Iroquois, Menominee, Chippewa and Mohegan people of the northeast North American continent. Paul Le Jeune, in 1634, was one of the first Europeans to write about this. Later, Philadelphia physician Benjamin Rush in the late 1700s promoted maple sugar as a “wonder food” leading to an invasion of European immigrants into the Upper Great Lakes, who hoped to profit off the product. It truly is a “wonder food,” needing 30 to 50 gallons of sap cooked down to make one gallon of syrup. As sweet as maple syrup is, miso is salty. There are different varieties rendering many subtle and not so subtle secondary flavors, so

The Mixing Bowl Sarah Ringler salt is only part of the story. Basically, it is made from fermented grain; the kind of grain determines the name of the miso, like mugi miso is made from barley, and genmai is made from brown rice. The fermentation process and the region the miso is from also determine its name and flavor. A key ingredient in the fermentation process is aspergillus oryzae, a special fungus that is not only used to make miso, but also soy sauce, sake and rice vinegar. Mentioned in the Chinese Rites of the Zhou Dynasty, it is thought to have been domesticated over 2,000 years ago and was a major advancement in Asian food technology. Eiji Ichishima of Todoku University spearheaded the movement in 2006 to recognized it as the “national fungus” of Japan. The recipe is from writer

and recipe developer Colu Henry, which appeared in the New York Times food section in January this year. I like buying wild sockeye salmon because of its flavor, and because it is recommended by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program; the way the fish are caught has a low impact on the environment. Visit the official website at www. seafoodwatch.org for more information. Maple and miso salmon and broccoli •1 pound salmon fillet with skin on, cut into 1 inch wide slices •4 teaspoons maple syrup •1 tablespoon white or brown miso •1 tablespoon rice vinegar •2 teaspoons soy sauce •1 garlic clove, minced •1 pound broccoli florets, washed and trimmed •2 tablespoons olive oil •Pinch of red pepper flakes •1 teaspoon sesame oil •¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves - optional •Salt •Black pepper Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

parchment paper or aluminum foil. Wash and dry the salmon. Cut into 1-inch wide pieces and rub with salt and pepper. Place on the pan, skin side down. In a small bowl whisk the syrup, miso, rice vinegar, soy sauce and garlic. Pour the mixture over the fish and gently rub it into the fish. Don’t wash the bowl; use it again for the broccoli. Let the fish sit until the oven is ready. Bring a small saucepan

with water to a boil on the stove. Add broccoli florets and cook for about 5 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and are partially cooked. Drain and then add to the same bowl the maple-miso mixture, and then add the olive oil, pepper flakes, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat florets, then add to pan with the fish. Bake for about 10-12 minutes depending on how thick the fish is. When done,

sprinkle with cilantro and serve with rice. This recipe serves four. ••• Sarah Ringler is a retired schoolteacher.

Betty’s Eat Inn Betty’s Burgers is a small chain of restaurants in Santa Cruz. The business currently has three locations, with another in the works in Aptos Village. When I’m in downtown Santa Cruz I love to stop for a bite at Betty’s Eat Inn on Pacific Avenue. The eclectic decor and friendly staff always make for an enjoyable experience. Their burgers, of course, are the main draw— but they have plenty of other delicious choices, such as the “Mac Daddy” (homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon) or the “Rough ’n Ready” salad (featuring sliced almonds and dried cranberries). My favorite item to order is their sweet potato fries. Paired with the restaurant’s signature dipping sauce, the fries are a side that goes with pretty much anything.

Jarritos My colleagues at the R-P and I like to pick up lunch at one of Watsonville’s many fantastic taquerias. Often its La Buena in the Overlook Shopping Center, since it’s so close to our office. I switch my order up from a few small tacos to a chicken quesadilla—with all the fixings, of course. I also love to grab a Jarritos soda. The popular Mexican soda company offers a multitude of fruity flavors. I have not even had half of the flavors they make. My favorites that I have tried are Mandarin and Pineapple. I think the people at La Buena know immediately to reach for a bottle when I walk through the door…

Mobo Sushi An udon noodle appetizer with tahini sauce, Tropi-Maki roll, and a Futo Maki roll are sure winners at Mobo Sushi in downtown Santa Cruz. The popular business has been serving a wide selection of sushi, including a wealth of house originals, since 1988. Their address is 105 River St. in San Lorenzo Park Plaza (the same parking lot as Trader Joes). For information call 425-1700.

Drink

Peet’s Coffee At Peet’s Coffee on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz they take their hot chocolate to another level by creating a special design into the milk foam. If you’re lucky you can fetch a table at the window there and get a nice view of the foot traffic in downtown Santa Cruz. I always get their small hot chocolate, which is plenty for me. It’s always served fresh and hot. Visit peets.com for a complete menu.

Fun

Antique Street Faire The Santa Cruz Antique Street Faire unfolds the second Sunday of every month on Lincoln Street and adjoining parking lots. Dozens of vendors keep the variety wide and interesting. There’s plenty of nearby metered parking and, if you can walk a handful of blocks, there’s free neighborhood parking on surrounding streets not too far away. This event runs year-round. In the event of rain, the Faire runs on the third Sunday. For information call 476-6940.

Fun

Mt. Madonna State Park Santa Cruz County is known for its great hiking spots, but I feel like not many people are aware of Mt. Madonna State Park. I grew up visiting the park, just off Highway 152. The turnoff is right after the (abandoned) Mt. Madonna Inn. I went camping at this park with the Girl Scouts and my family for years. There are beautiful views of the Pajaro Valley, as well as trails that take you underneath majestic redwoods and over slow-moving streams. And of course, the Miller ruins. The ruins of the estate of Henry Miller, one of Gilroy’s founders, still remain nestled in the park. I love walking around the stone foundations and steps, imagining what it was like so long ago.

Artist Lyn MacDonald, who moved to the area from Boston two years ago, has a few pieces on exhibit this year, including “Prickly Pear Person,” made from bottle caps, zip ties and pieces of faucets, and a large version of the Cheshire Cat peeking out from its perch on a tree branch. “When I first saw this space, I was floored,” MacDonald said. “I fell in love with it. What a fantastic place to show art.”

How people have adapted to dramatically different environments is an ongoing fascination.” Johnson said he plans to show his work at the Open Studio Art Tour in October, which he has been a part of 15 times in the past. His work will show on the weeks of Oct. 12 and 19 at his studio, 1305 Chanticleer Ave. in Live Oak.

“Sculpture Is” opened on June 1 and will run until the end of October. Sierra Azul invites the community to come with a picnic lunch and enjoy the art. School groups are also welcome with advance notice. “We had a woman here on Sunday who came with her daughter from Concord,” Heerschop recalled. “She was 99 years old, walking around and just delighted to be here. That’s what we like to see.” For information on “Sculpture Is” visit pvarts.org and sierraazul.com.

‘Masterpiece’ makes another ‘Endeavour’ toward mystery Six seasons in, Shaun Evans is still living by the Morse code. The British actor is continuing the younger incarnation of novelist Colin Dexter’s character Inspector Morse in “Endeavour on Masterpiece,” which begins its sixth PBS round Sunday, June 16. Evans also directs “Apollo,” the second of the prequel’s four new episodes – which begin with “Pylon,” taking newly mustachioed Endeavour Morse onto a different late-1960s beat and back to the city of Oxford to probe a student’s murder. Others believe they have the likeliest suspect, but Endeavour doesn’t agree. While he’s comfortable with his approach to the role, Evans maintains he always has been. Expressing respect for the initial “Inspector Morse” tales, he adds, “You go your own way and do your own thing. Also, I think I’m just confident enough as an actor to be like, ‘Well, that’s the job.’ I wasn’t waiting for someone to either accept or not accept it.” Evans enjoyed being an “Endeavour” director, reasoning that “whilst the characters are constant, each (episode) should feel different from the next. Every time I meet one of the directors coming in, I can get a sense very swiftly of how it’s going to turn out by what’s important to them, what they laugh at, what they think about the story (or) where their head is at with the story. Which, I think, is very telling.”

“Endeavour” also features (as Dorothea Frazil) Abigail Thaw, the daughter of the late John Thaw, who portrayed Morse on PBS’ “Mystery!” before it was folded into “Masterpiece.” Evans reports he still hasn’t seen the Thaw episodes, “and that’s purposeful. And that’s with a huge amount of respect, because I know they will be brilliant when I do get around to watching them. “If there are any similarities in terms of the character, then that needs to be borne out of the writing. I think you would be shortchanging the audience if you were to come in and do an impression, and to start morphing into something else.” Still, Evans stresses his appreciation of “all of the things that have gone prior to (‘Endeavour’), because my first port of call was the books and the imagination. I still want all of that now as it draws to a close.” However, the finale isn’t immediately pending, especially since a seventh season of “Endeavour” has been ordered. For now, Evans voices satisfaction with his evolution of the title part: “I would like to think he is less of a loner, and that he knows that he’s got people who have got his back at work ... that you can open yourself to rely upon. Perhaps that’s true for me, too.”
