Gonzales High School Football player recovering after suffering serious brain injury



Gonzales High School Sophomore Receiver Angel Bravo suffered a serious brain injury as he landed on his head during a 7 on 7 drill that the Football team was taking part in on Saturday, July 27 in Carmel as they prepare for the 2019 season. Spartan Head Football Coach Art Berlanga said that Bravo just unfortunately landed hard on the back of his head on the ground of a grass surface after going up to make a catch during the drill and added that he had seen plays like that many times in all of the years he's played and coached football. Moments later Bravo collapsed and hit his head again between a divider and a long jump pit of the sideline. Bravo was transported to a trauma center at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas where surgery was performed immediately because of internal bleeding and hemmorhaging in his brain. Bravo was put under a 48 hour sedation, but was able to wake up in less than 24 hours after going through surgery. Coach Berlanga said that the Doctors were surprised and shocked of Bravo's conditions stating that Bravo passed many of the Doctors tests they gave him, he's breathing on his own, he can speak, he can move his extremities and his limbs, while the rest of his health is also improving. Coach Berlanga also indicated that the quick response from the coaching staff and emergency medical personnel probably saved Bravo's life. Bravo's recovery period is expected to be 6 to 8 months. Gonzales High School will begin the 2019 High School Football season on August 30 at home against Alisal High School.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau.   Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
