Catholic high school denied again LAFCO REJECTS ANNEXATION PLAN FOR SITE
COUNTY WILL BUY SAINT LOUISE GILROY HOSPITAL AND O’CONNOR HOSPITAL IN SAN JOSE TO BECOME PUBLIC IN FEB. Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
Santa Clara County emerged this month as the sole bidder for O’Connor and Saint Louise hospitals,
clearing the way for the county to buy the two private hospitals for $235 million, County Executive Jeff Smith disclosed Monday. “We are really excited, and we’re ready to go,” Smith told the Gilroy Dispatch Monday. “There is nothing that can derail it.” In an interview with the Gilroy Dispatch Monday, Smith said the county, anticipating this month’s news, has been laying the groundwork for its expanded
healthcare system for weeks and now will be on a fast track, which Smith hopes will ensure a smooth transition to a three-hospital system in less than three months. Once the deal closes, the 129-year-old O’Connor Hospital in San Jose and the 29-year-old Saint Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy will join the 142-year-old Valley Medical Center in a significantly expanded publicly owned and managed healthcare system.
The new hospital system will increase the number of hospital beds by nearly 80 percent, increase medical staff by 70 percent and boost total employees by nearly 40 percent in the new three-hospital system, according to the county. Smith said the county has already created more than 2,000 new positions, ready to ➝ Saint Louise, 11

A Catholic high school has been talked about in the South County for nearly a decade, but the Diocese of San Jose has run into a series of setbacks getting its 40 acres of land—their preferred site of the future school—annexed to southeast Morgan Hill. The latest of these hurdles was the denial of an annexation proposal Dec. 5 by the county commission charged with authorizing city boundary line extensions. The school site sits outside of Morgan Hill’s Urban Services Area, so it must be annexed in order to receive city services like water, sewer and public safety. The area the city attempted to annex sits north of Tennant Avenue and east of Condit Road. Plans to annex the high school site were submitted by the City of Morgan Hill to the Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCO) for a second time, resulting in the ruling at the Dec. 5 committee meeting. Committee staff had recommended in their report that LAFCO commissioners deny the city’s request, because staff believed the plans did not comply with committee standards. The annexation proposal failed in a 5-2 vote, with Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman and Santa Clara Valley Water District Director John L. Varela voting to approve the city’s request.

Big plans for airport SUPERVISORS SET IN MOTION PLAN TO EXPAND SAN MARTIN AIRPORT AND CLOSE REID-HILLVIEW Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
Over the next decade, the skies above San Martin are likely to see steady and dramatic increases in light-plane traffic. A 3-2 decision by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors Dec. 4 authorized a long-term plan to close the Reid-Hillview Airport in east San Jose and make substantial investments in upgrading and expanding the San Martin Airport, 24 miles south. Mike Wasserman, the supervisor who represents San Martin and the South County, including Morgan Hill and Gilroy, joined Board President Joe Simitian, who represents northwest Santa Clara County, in voting against the proposal.

Cortese, Cindy Chavez and Ken Yeager all voted for the airport consolidation plan. The supervisors’ decision begins a long process “to determine the futures of both airports, the health and safety of residents in the surrounding areas and the use of federal and local funds,” according to the county statement. The Reid-Hillview Airport would continue to operate until at least 2031, when federal grants expire, freeing up the 180 acres of land for non-aviation uses. The plan also would begin exploring a shift of San Jose State University’s aviation program from Reid-Hillview to San Martin. The board directed county staff to develop detailed plans for improving and expanding the San Martin Airport while negotiating leases at Reid-Hillview Airport to make land available for future commercial development. “The potential revenue for the county in considering alternative uses for Reid-Hillview is too significant to ignore,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese. “But with this option,
operations can continue at ReidHillview as we look at ways to improve the San Martin Airport.” One impact of the airport consolidation plan, in addition to upgrades to physical facilities and runways, would be a significant increase in air traffic of the mosty small, privately owned pistonpropellor planes and helicopters. Airnav.com reported an average of 91 flights per day in and out of San Martin in 2017-2018. The website reported that ReidHillview had 452 average daily flights per day in the same period. San Martin has two runways, Reid Hillview, four, according to the website. The county reported that general aviation trends show pistonpropeller aircraft use to be on the decline in general, and at ReidHillview in particular. In 2006, Reid-Hillview housed 687 aircraft, compared to 478 today. In that same period, aircraft at the San Martin Airport has grown from 115 to 150. The supervisors’ decision directed staff to: Approve a policy statement
that the county will not apply for Airport Improvement Program grants for Reid-Hillview Airport and will make improvements funded by the general fund that are required to operate ReidHillview safely Direct the county executive to accept $1 million in FAA entitlement funding related to the airfield repaving project at San Martin Airport Direct the county executive to apply for property releases at ReidHillview Airport from the FAA Invite the City of San Jose to engage within the next two years in joint planning for both Reid-Hillview and the Eastridge areas, including alternative uses of Reid-Hillview after 2031 Begin a transparent community engagement process that considers consolidation of aviation operations and the 2006 master plan for the San Martin Airport Develop a plan to implement improvements to ensure adequate traffic flow and safety on East San Martin Avenue and ➝ Airport, 2

Wasserman says no to airport plan at the use of only unleaded fuel at the airports. In 2006, the board approved a master plan for the San Martin Airport that outlines improvements and expansion to consolidate general aviation operations the airport. This plan may need to be modified if operations shift from ReidHillview to San Martin. “I don’t think it’s wise to accept another federal grant to improve ReidHillview and tie up the land for aviation use only in perpetuity,” Cortese said. “This option gives us time to work with the aviation community, neighbors and business owners and the City of San Jose to determine the best use of the land occupied by Reid-Hillview and the area surrounding the San Martin Airport.”

Police schedule DUI checkpoint Dec. 14 POLICE URGE MOTORISTS TO STAY SOBER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Staff report
The Gilroy Police Department’s Traffic Unit will conduct a DUI and driver’s license checkpoint Dec. 14 at an undisclosed location within the city limits. “The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of
persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes,” reads a Dec. 6 press release from the Gilroy Police Department. “Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.” In California, DUIs led to 802 deaths in 2012 because someone failed to designate a sober driver, police said. Nationally, the latest data show that nearly 10,000 were killed
by an impaired driver. At the Dec. 14 checkpoint in Gilroy, officers will look for signs of alcohol and/ or drug impairment, as well as proper licensing—delaying motorists only momentarily, police said. Specially trained officers will evaluate those suspected of drugimpaired driving. Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems, according to police. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent)
than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DUI checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent, the press release continues. Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints. DUI checkpoints are placed in locations based
Checkpoints have provided the most effective results of any DUI enforcement. on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, affording officers the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence, police said. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public. Motorists caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes and other
expenses that can exceed $10,000—not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out, police warn. Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Gilroy Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

San Benito is possible contamination source FEDS WON’T ID THE GROWERS, DISTRIBUTORS OR FARMS IMPLICATED IN OUTBREAK Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
Federal and state investigators have narrowed their nationwide search for the source of romaine lettuce contamination to six California counties, including San Benito County. As the search continued into its third week, officials concluded that “the outbreak cannot be explained by a single farm, grower, harvester or distributor.” In a Dec. 6 statement, the Food and Drug Administration said, “Traceback information from four restaurants in three different states so far has implicated 10 different distributors, 12 different growers and 11 different farms as potential sources of the contaminated lettuce.” The agency, which is coordinating the probe in California with the Centers for Disease Control and the California departments of public health and food and agriculture, declined to identify any of the farms or distributors under scrutiny. It added that “counties may be added or removed as the investigation progresses.” Information that investigators have collected through Dec. 6, continues to indicate that contaminated romaine lettuce from the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California is the likely source of the current outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections. The California counties FDA is including in the region are Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Ventura. The FDA reported that on-site investigations of farms and lettuce cooling facilities in the Central Coast collected samples of romaine lettuce, soil, water, and scat (animal droppings), and found no evidence of the E.coli strain. Results of water testing being conducted by CDC are pending. The FDA announced last week that both the United States and Canada are seeing increasing numbers of people confirmed with infections from the outbreak strain
ROMAINE LABELS Label on this package of
romaine lettuce packaged by Fresh Express shows origin and date of the product. of E. coli O157:H7. Neither country has reported any confirmed deaths in relation to the outbreak. As of Dec. 6, the U.S. CDC reported 52 patients across 15 states. Canadian officials reported 27 people in four provinces have fallen ill. The outbreak strain is proving particularly virulent, having a U.S. hospitalization rate of 42 percent. Nine of the patients in Canada have been admitted to hospitals. Two people in each country have developed kidney failure. In the United States, illness onset dates range from Oct. 5 to Nov. 18. The sick people range in age from 1 to 84. Public health officials expect additional outbreak illnesses to be confirmed. “Illnesses that occurred after Nov. 14 might not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill with E. coli infection and when the illness is reported,” the CDC reported. “Twentyfour—83 percent— of 29 people interviewed reported eating romaine lettuce. Ill people reported eating different types of romaine lettuce in several restaurants and at home.” The “traceback” investigations involve reviewing shipping records and invoices to trace the romaine that ill people who are part of this outbreak consumed backward through the supply chain to identify where it was grown and where in the supply chain it may have become contaminated. The FDA’s advice to consumers has not changed. Based on discussions with producers and distributors, romaine lettuce entering the market is now being labeled with a harvest location and a harvest date or labeled as being hydroponically or
greenhouse-grown. A random search of produce sections of local market showed smaller than usual amounts of romaine lettuce, and all of it was marked with the new labels. Consumers are warned that if romaine lettuce does not have this information, you should not eat or use it. If romaine lettuce does have this labeling information, the agency still advises avoiding “any product from the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California.” Romaine lettuce that was harvested outside of the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California does not appear to be related to the current outbreak. Hydroponically and greenhouse-grown romaine also does not appear to be related to the current outbreak. There is no recommendation for consumers or retailers to avoid using romaine harvested from these sources. Neither health nor food safety officials on either side of the international border named any of the farms or other entities they have identified as having grown or handled the romaine in question. An FDA spokesperson said the leafy greens industry has agreed to establish a task force to find solutions for longterm labeling of romaine lettuce and other leafy greens for helping to identify products and to put in place standards for traceability of products. Jennifer McEntire of the United Fresh Produce Association was leader for the traceability group of the LGMA task force earlier this year. This group evaluated current traceback programs in the produce industry and their impact on traceability during outbreak events.

Farm Bureau enters its 100th year
GUEST VIEW DAN WALTERS
Newsom faces new red flags for high-speed rail
T
he messiest bit of unfinished business Gov. Jerry Brown will bequeath to successor Gavin Newsom is one of the outgoing governor’s pet projects: a northsouth high-speed rail. One could even say it’s a hot mess, given the revelations of a new audit of the multibillion-dollar project’s first phase. That initial segment–100-plus miles of track in the mostly flat, sparsely populated San Joaquin Valley, from Chowchilla to an orchard near Shafter, north of Bakersfield–was supposed to be the easiest to design and build. However, State Auditor Elaine Howle told the Legislature that the High-Speed Rail Authority’s “flawed decision-making regarding the start of high-speed rail system construction in the Central Valley and its ongoing poor contract management for a wide range of high-value contracts have contributed to billions of dollars in cost overruns for completing the system.” Furthermore, even as costs soared, the state didn’t come close to meeting the initial 2017 deadline for completion of the segment specified in a 2010 federal grant. Howle told legislators it also won’t meet a 2022 deadline extension “unless…construction progresses twice as fast as it has to date,” adding, “Missing the deadline could expose the state to the risk of having to pay back as much as $3.5 billion in federal funds.” It wasn’t the first time that Howle and other independent analysts have criticized not only how the San Joaquin Valley stretch was proceeding, but also the project’s biggest issue: a lack of financing to extend it north to San Francisco and south to Los Angeles. Whenever track reaches that orchard near Shafter, the next phase is supposed to be connecting Chowchilla with San Jose by tunneling through the coastal mountains in the neighborhood of the Pacheco Pass along Highway 152 east of Gilroy. In theory, getting to San Jose would
allow the system to begin carrying paying passengers, because the bullet train would be “blended” with existing Caltrain service between San Jose and San Francisco that’s soon to be electrified. However, tunneling through the mountains will be expensive and the High-Speed Rail Authority hasn’t found a source of financing, even though the system gets 25 percent of the state’s revenues from auctioning off carbon emission allowances through the “cap-and-trade” system. Moreover, “blending” the bullet train with Caltrain and other commuter rail systems in Southern California would, as Howle points out, inevitably slow high-speed service. That, in turn, would make it nearly impossible to meet the 160-minute standard for trips between San Francisco and Los Angeles specified in the $9.95 billion state bond issue approved by voters more than a decade ago. So that’s the situation that Newsom will inherit next month. It’s more than likely that the 2022 deadline for the San Joaquin segment won’t be met, either, exposing the state to federal sanctions. But even were it met, it would be a train to nowhere unless some way is found to extend it farther, embarrassing every politician involved with it. “We need to make some changes and we need to make them now,” Sen. Jim Beall, a San Jose Democrat who chairs the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee, said during a hearing in late November on Howle’s sharply critical findings. The need for a bullet train has never been adequately proven and its political cheerleaders have lowballed its costs from the onset, as Howle’s audit demonstrates anew. Newsom has expressed some skepticism about the project’s viability in the past. However, he will own this managerial mess on Jan. 7 and it could easily become a white elephant on his watch. Dan Walters writes for CalMatters, a non-profit journalism project in Sacramento.

In San Diego last week, 126 delegates from 53 county Farm Bureaus gathered for the California Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting, the 100th time that farm leaders from around the state have met to discuss, debate and set policies that will guide the organization in the year ahead. The California Farm Bureau Federation held its first annual meeting in October 1919. Farmers and ranchers now have agricultural and communications technology that our predecessors could only dream of, and crop patterns have changed markedly. For example, California grew about a million acres of barley in 1918 but pistachios were still an experimental crop. California's 100 million acres of land accommodated a population of 3.2 million then, not the 40 million of today. But certainly, the founders of the California Farm Bureau in 1919 would recognize many of the challenges we face: weather, markets, regulations, the uncertainties of water supply, the struggle to hire enough qualified employees, and others. I think Farm Bureau's founders would be impressed by the sophisticated way our organization works to address those challenges through advocacy with government officials, the courts and the media. In its early years, the Farm Bureau formed a Law and Utilities Department to advocate for its members, and the organization moved from Berkeley to Sacramento in 1979 in order to make that advocacy more immediate and effective. This year, the Farm Bureau engaged with every elected official in the California Legislature and in our congressional delegation; our advocates filed more than 3,600 pages of letters, legal briefs and comments on dozens of different issues; and our work with utility regulators saved approximately $65 million in potential rate increases for agricultural electricity customers. In the 1920s, the Farm Bureau provided farm news via motion pictures and radio broadcasts. This year, the Farm Bureau sent some 600 tweets; responded to more than 500 inquiries from local, regional, national and international media; reached approximately 1.5 million nonfarm viewers through our California Bountiful television program; and kept members informed via Ag Alert, video, websites, email and other forms of communication. The Farm Bureau formed an organization department in 1929 to help county farm bureaus with membership recruitment and retention, and began offering insurance benefits in the 1940s. Now, Farm Bureau members in California can take advantage of nearly three dozen separate member benefits on equipment, supplies, business services and more, as well as insurance through our partners at Nationwide. In 2019, the Farm Bureau will create a member advocacy department that will better equip us to customize member benefits to the individual and, more importantly, understand more fully what our members need. Organizations that endure, as Farm Bureau has, must adapt, and those examples show how the Farm Bureau has changed to meet the shifting needs of farmers and ranchers. At the same time, Farm Bureau remains focused on its basic mission: to work for solutions for the problems of the farm, the farm home and the rural community and to represent, protect and advance the social, economic and educational interests of California farmers. When I stood before delegates to the annual meeting last year, I noted that Farm Bureau is strong because of our diversity. Now, as I complete my first year in office, I'm more convinced of that than ever. Each year at this time, farmers and ranchers come together, from the south, from the north, from the coast, from the mountains and everywhere in between, to establish California Farm Bureau policies. A Farm Bureau member in 1919 was the same as today: not content merely to accept the current political landscape but insistent on making it better for farmers and ranchers. Farm Bureau is ready to move forward into its 100th year solidifying its long-standing role as the unified voice of California agriculture—a voice that serves not simply to make a statement but to make a difference for California's rural communities. I'm confident the original the Farm Bureau delegates from 1919 would be proud. Jamie Johansson is president of the California Farm Bureau.

annexation comes as the City of Gilroy is gearing up to submit plans to annex land for the city’s sports park off south Monterey Street. At a Dec. 3 Gilroy City Council meeting, the council directed staff to proceed with updating an Environmental Impact Report for the area. Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco said plans would still have to go through the Planning Commission and City Council before being submitted to LAFCO, but he and city staff attended the Dec. 5 LAFCO meeting to see what the commissioners expected from such a proposal. Velasco said observing the meeting was helpful in informing how Gilroy city staff should prepare the sports park plans when they are eventually brought in front of the LAFCO commissioners. “We know what LAFCO staff is thinking, and we have to make sure that we’re addressing all of those issues,” said Velasco. Morgan Hill and the LAFCO committee have a complicated history when it comes to the Catholic high school project and what is designated as the city’s “Southeast Quadrant.” Many commissioners at the Dec. 5 meeting brought up past decisions by the committee to deny the city’s annexation requests in the area, which is mostly farmland. LAFCO is an appointed body of citizens and elected officials throughout the county. The committee’s mission is, “Encouraging
orderly boundaries, discouraging urban sprawl, and preserving agricultural and open space lands.” The annexation is considered critical to the success of the diocese’s plans for Catholic high school in Morgan Hill. The Morgan Hill City Council voted 3-2 in September to send the plans to LAFCO for approval. Council members Rich Constantine and Rene Spring voted against the plans. Spring has proven an anti-growth advocate during his council tenure. Constantine previously said he could not vote to approve the plans because he did not feel it had been improved since the last time it was submitted two years ago. In 2016, LAFCO denied an annexation request— also submitted by the City of Morgan Hill—for a large portion of the Southeast Quadrant by a 5-2 vote. The City then submitted a request to annex only the land for the South County Catholic High School. The request was denied in June 2016. The original request was part of a plan to annex most of the Southeast Quadrant bound by Tennant Avenue to the south, Murphy Avenue to the west, Barrett Avenue to the north and abutting an agricultural field to the east. This land has been identified in the county’s agricultural plan as prime agricultural land. The request presented to the committee at the Dec. 5 meeting included 66 acres of land, nearly 40 of which would be

Committee staff recommended annexation be denied based on several points of the plan they said violate LAFCO standards. The LAFCO staff report said there was land available within Morgan Hill city limits as an alternate site for the school; the annexation wouldn’t create logical city boundaries; there would be a significant impact to agricultural land; the city didn’t have the infrastructure to provide the public safety, sewer, water and storm drainage to the area; the plan isn’t consistent with
the regional transportation plan; the city hasn’t annexed all of the unincorporated land still within the urban service area; and the plan wasn’t consistent with county policies. The Dec. 5 meeting was tense, with reports and comments from LAFCO staff being contradicted by Morgan Hill city staff ’s presentation. Commissioner Sergio Jimenez, when attempting to make his decision, said, “You all are viewing things much differently.” A major topic of discussion was the designation of the parcels as “prime
farmland.” Morgan Hill farmers made public comments about the quality of land in the annexation site and said it was not suitable for long-term farming use. George Chiala Jr. of Chiala Farms told the commission his family had trouble in the past farming on the land. “That land isn’t good farmland; if you need data to prove that, I can provide it,” said Chiala. “If we can’t do it, it’s going to be hard for somebody else to do it.” Still, many commissioners said it would be against LAFCO standards to approve the annexation.
Commissioner Rob Rennie said the answer wasn’t black and white to him, but he didn’t believe Morgan Hill had the proper plans in place for the annexation. “These kind of annexation plans would be called sprawl,” Rennie said before eventually voting down the annexation plan. Maureen Tobin, communications and engagement manager for Morgan Hill, told the Times that the city does not currently have any new plans in place following the denial of the annexation request.

n November 19, 2018, I presented the annual report from Visit Gilroy to the Gilroy City Council. This annual report included an overview of the organization’s 2017/18 accomplishments and activities, results of the 2017/18 advertising and marketing campaigns and the action plan goals and strategies adopted by the Visit Gilroy Board of Directors to be implemented in 2018/19. Following are highlights from this report for your information:
Accomplishments & Activities • •
which a Notice of Inspection (NOI) was provided to the employer. •
Notify Employees
Employers must follow specific requirements related to Form I-9 inspections. For example, within 72 hours of receiving a Notice of Inspection, California employers must post a notice to all current employees informing them of any federal immigration agency’s inspections of Forms I-9 or other employment records. Employers also have obligations once the inspection is completed. Within 72 hours of receiving the inspection results, employers must provide each “affected employee” a copy of the results and a written notice of the employer’s and employee’s obligations arising from the inspection. The written notice must contain specific information and must be hand-delivered in the workplace, if possible. An “affected employee” is one identified by the inspection results as potentially lacking work authorization or having document deficiencies. Unions also have the right to receive notices. An employer that fails to follow any of these notice requirements can be fined between $2,000 and $5,000 for a first violation and between $5,000 and $10,000 for each subsequent violation. At the same time, federal penalties for Form I-9 violations can range from a couple hundred dollars to more than $20,000.

Preparation Is Essential
Because the timeframes are so short, preparation is key to meeting the notice requirements. Employers should have a process in place to respond to Notices of Inspection. Employers should identify who in their organization would likely receive a Notice of Inspection and confirm that person knows how to respond.

GILROY DISPATCH
County’s $235 million offer accepted be filled initially by existing O’Connor and Saint Louise employees, who will be hired as “provisional employees in permanent positions.” He is gearing up the county’s human resources staff and expects a new media relations team and additional administrative services to be in place once the deal closes in late February. Smith said patients at the two Verity-owned hospitals will see few immediate changes with the ownership change. “Patients will see the same nurses, the same staff doctors—they won’t see much, if any, change at all,” he said. He said the hospitals will accept all of the same health insurance carriers. Paul Lorenz, CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center since 2012, will lead the transition, after which two new sister hospitals will retain their names and identities under the expanded county umbrella. Smith also is well-positioned to manage hospital acquisitions: He has both medical and law degrees. The county executive said he expects a federal bankruptcy judge to finalize the county purchase on Dec.19, and the escrow period to close by the end of February. The county offered to buy the hospitals in late July, after Verity Health announced it was seeking suitors and one month before Verity filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In October, Santa Clara County’s offer of $235 million was identified as a

“stalking horse bid” in a highly anticipated bidding race that never got out of the starting gate. A Dec. 5 deadline passed with no competing bids for the two Santa Clara County hospitals, eliminating the need for an auction this month in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles. Verity and its hospitals in August filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, for the stated purpose of facilitating a courtsupervised sale of some or all of the hospitals. Saint Louise Regional Hospital is located on the north side of Gilroy, and O’Connor Hospital is in San Jose, located less than two miles from Valley Medical Center, less than four miles from the center of downtown San Jose. Verity Health owns the two Santa Clara County hospitals, plus two in San Mateo County and two in Los Angeles. The company had posted no information or released any statement as of Dec. 10 about the sale of the two hospitals to Santa Clara County. Smith said Verity contacted his office last week, and notified him of the county’s successful offer. The O’Connor and Saint Louise employees will retain their jobs, but Smith said all union contracts with Verity Health will be voided, with the new employees represented by the current collective bargaining agreements already in place in Santa Clara County. The bankruptcy court will be deciding what

NEW PURCHASE Santa Clara County officials confirmed this week that it was the only bidder for

Smith said the employees will enter the California Public Employees’ Retirement System as new employees, regardless of currently held seniority. He said the union contracts and pensions have to be different, because federal and state labor and pension laws differ between public and private employees. Smith said the county is talking with employees and unions, adding, “We will be speaking with the doctors, and tenants of the buildings” at the hospital campuses. The county is developing plans for the implementation of a new medical records system for all of its hospitals, called EPIC, and
s a m t s i r Ch

will updating equipment. By July, he anticipates that all employees will be connected to the county payroll system. “We will have a whole lot of work to do behind the scenes,” he said, including creating a new financial systems that integrate the two hospitals with the Valley Medical Center system. Smith said the DePaul Urgent Care Center in Morgan Hill—site of the original Saint Louise hospital— is part of the purchase and will continue as an urgent care center and medical offices. He expects the county to tear down the old hospital building, which has been vacant, and anticipates expanding skilled nursing care facilities in Morgan Hill. The first-year costs in connection with the
hospital purchase will be expensive, perhaps exceeding the purchase price of the two hospitals, Smith estimated. However, he said these expenses will be defrayed by income from the two hospitals. The county will sell “lease revenue bonds” to finance the purchase, a mechanism already authorized by the Board of Supervisors. Smith described this as a kind of mortgage, for which payments would be about $15 million per year. Smith is optimistic about the financial health of the two hospitals, because Medicare reimbursement formulas provide more money for medical bills at publicly owned hospitals than for private hospitals. “Now that the future
is more stable, we know there is never going to be a cloud over these hospitals, and there is going to be a stable owner,” said Smith. “Then we can build the system back up and provide more services.” Verity Health System, created in late 2015, is a nonprofit healthcare system employing more than 6,000 in California. In 2015, the Catholic Daughters of Charity had sold the six hospitals to BlueMountain Capital Management, which owned Verity Health. Last year, a company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who also owns the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union-Tribune, bought the hedge fund’s healthcare division that owns Verity.

State updates schools’ accountability site
‘DASHBOARD’ OFFERS MORE INFO, EASIER ACCESS F0R SCHOOL DATA Staff report
California’s new tool to assess the quality of public schools, in its second year, expands beyond test scores to include graduation rates, absenteeism,
college readiness and other measures. State education officials say that students, parents and teachers now have easier, more direct access to information on how their schools are performing with the California School “Dashboard” website. The revised Dashboard includes two new metrics for evaluating school and district performance and a new look designed to be user-friendly.
It attempts to make complex data easier to understand. The Dashboard is now fully accessible on smartphones and tablets, and the state says it is easier to navigate and has improved graphics. The new Dashboard also has the most current data available, including 2018 test scores and graduation rates, according to the state. “The Dashboard helps schools identify strengths and weaknesses in many different
areas that measure success,” said State Superintendent Tom Torlakson in a Dec. 6 announcement. “I urge educators, parents and communities to turn this data into positive action by using it to target resources where improvement is needed and to share practices where success is demonstrated.” The Dashboard is a key component of California’s five-year overhaul of the state’s school accountability
system. It displays statewide data based on “status” (how each school or district performed) and “change” (how much they have improved or declined over time). School and district performance levels are indicated by color, with red the lowest and blue the highest. The Dashboard also breaks down information by student group (low-income, English learner, foster youth, etc.) to help pinpoint and address achievement gaps.
“The Dashboard shows us which students have the greatest needs and which areas of our educational system need the most attention, which is exactly what it was designed to do,” said State Board President Michael W. Kirst. “Challenges that once may have been hidden, such as how poverty, homelessness and disability affect student learning, are now in sharp focus.

Beware of holiday telephone scam artists
GILROY PD SAYS CALLS ‘FROM THE IRS’ ARE ATTEMPTS TO ROB THE UNSUSPECTING Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
You might think of them as the anti-Santa Clauses. Scammers. They're watching, waiting and given the opportunity, they'll make their holidays bright at your expense. But, with good sense, and with some tips from the Gilroy Police Department and the AARP, there's help to stop you from paying for someone else's Christmas shopping. The most straightforward advice, according to Gilroy Police Sgt. Jason Smith, is to use a little common sense. "If it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is," Smith said in an email. Phone scams are common, where the scammer uses “spoofing,” or fake phone numbers to make it seem that the caller is local. One of the most common types of phone scams is fake calls from scammers claiming to be from the IRS, threatening to arrest the victim if they don’t pay their taxes. "The IRS isn't going to come to your house and arrest you for not paying taxes," Smith said. "No government agency or legitimate business is going to request or demand payment in gift cards. When in doubt, you can always ask for a callback phone number and let them know you will be contacting your local police department to verify the validity of their call." For bargain hunters, Craigslist, the internet's
The IRS isn’t going to come to your house and arrest you for not paying your taxes. unofficial garage sale, can be a great place to find anything from lawn chairs, kittens, places to live or even jobs. It’s also a good place for scammers to stalk their prey. An example of a common Craigslist scam happens when a distant person sends the victim a real-looking check for a job, apartment or any other service. The scammer then instructs the victim to cash the check, keep half, and send the other half back to the scammer. Only when the victim sends the scammer their part of the money does the bank discover the check is fake, leaving the victim on the hook for
the missing money. "I would suggest to always meet in person in a visible public area to make an exchange of goods; only accept a cash payment," Smith said. Since the '50s the AARP has fought to advance and protect the interest of older Americans, who are often the target of scammers. As online purchases soar during the Christmas shopping season, online scams increase as well. The AARP warns customers to avoid steeply discounted items meant lure shoppers into fake online sales and to always rely
on popular websites with strong safety records. Seasonal job seekers are also often the targets of scammers, and since more than 500,000 people take seasonal jobs, there are plenty of targets. Scammers will pose as potential employees, using fake websites to gather the victim’s personal information to steal their identity. The biggest red flag are jobs that offer a lot of money for very little work. If the job looks too good to be true, it probably is. Holiday travelers are another target of
scammers who use copied photos and details of rental properties on thirdparty websites to book fake rentals. The AARP recommends never paying for a rental until you see it yourself and always verifying the listing with hotels directly before booking. In winter scammers claiming to be from utility companies use threats of shutting off power, water or heat unless the victim pays up. Scammers will insist that the victim did not pay their bill, and through fear tactics, they can extract money or personal information. The AARP recommends that potential victims hang up immediately when they get these calls and to call their utility provider to confirm their billing status.
Eighth annual holiday giveaway is Dec. 14 CATHEDRAL OF FAITH HOLIDAY OUTREACH AGAIN IMPACTS HUNDREDS OF NEEDY FAMILIES By Scott Forstner Reporter
Hundreds of local families in need will be treated to a Christmas Toy and Jacket Giveaway from 5:30 to 8pm Dec. 14 at the Morgan Hill Community Center, 17000 Monterey Road. The local Cathedral of Faith’s outreach group, called “I Love Morgan
Hill,” organized the eighth annual holiday event, which is still accepting donations of new toys, jackets or tax-deductible monetary donations to help their cause. To make donations, contact Robin Tokiwa at (408) 483-7000. This year’s theme is “You Belong Here.” “This outreach is for community members who would like to enjoy a warm sit-down meal, listen to music and receive toys and jackets for their children,” according to lead organizer Josie
Scott. “There is also a Santa’s Village for children to take pictures with Santa.” Children must be present to receive a toy and jacket; it’s on a first-come, first-served basis until they are distributed. Key supporters of the holiday outreach are I Love Morgan Hill, Cathedral of Faith, Martha’s Kitchen, Golden Eagle Mortgage and Gilroy Elk’s Lodge No. 1567. The holiday dinner and giveaway is just one of the many outreach events organized by the Cathedral of Faith, including its

GIRLS SOCCER
Anthony Fuccella
On the cusp FOCUSED Sophomore Jordan Anaya is in her second season as the starting Christopher High goalkeeper. Anaya blends athleticism, agility and tremendous instincts to give the Cougars an impact performer in between the posts. Christopher plays at Avaya Stadium on Saturday.
COUGARS ON THE VERGE OF HISTORIC SEASON emanuel lee Sports Editor
and physically—than a year ago. “I’m definitely more comfortable now because I know the girls and what they all can—which is a lot,” she said. “I was obviously nervous in the first game last year, but the girls helped me get through that which allowed me to play the way I can. Now I try to help the freshmen. I understand how everything works and being more mature has really helped my play on the field.”
Keys to success
Other players who are expected to play significant roles include center back Jackie Sanchez, center midfielder Ally Euchari and center midfielder Jaden Carillo. Sanchez, who possesses a ton of experience and athleticism, anchors the back line, while Euchari, a four-year varsity player, has helped shepherd in the younger girls to a smooth transition, Carillo made tremendous improvement since last season and freshman Jenna Urrabazo plays alongside Carillo. Three freshmen who figure to make big-time contributions to the team include center midfielder Urrabazo, left wing Taylor Mejia and left back/wing Jessica Schween. “For me to start them (in a game early in the season) is really big because you have to have that trust,” Oetinger said. “Obviously, their play dictated their minutes.” The freshmen trio of center back Skyler Turiello, center midfielder Aesha Sandoval and center midfielder Korina Rodeo also
Anthony Fuccella
The 2017-2018 season was one of historic proportions for the Christopher High girls soccer team. The Cougars established a couple of firsts in program history, winning an A-league championship along with a Central Coast Section playoff game. What can Christopher do for an encore? Well, repeat as league champions and win multiple games in the postseason. The Cougars have every reason to believe they can make it happen. They return nine starters and also added another standout freshmen class that promises to make an immediate impact. At the conclusion of last season—a 4-3 double overtime loss to Leigh in a CCS Division I playoff semifinal— Christopher coach Matt Oetinger said this year’s goal would be to win league and CCS on the caveat that “unless something dramatically changes.” Well, things have changed for Christopher—for the better. To wit: the Cougars have seven— count ‘em, seven—freshmen on their roster, including three that started in the first couple
matches of the season. Oetinger has an incredible bounty of talent to work with, and now it’s a matter of time of how well the team can coalesce to achieve their potential. The Cougars return reigning Gabilan Division Most Valuable Player Aurea Martin, who averaged 1½ goals per game last season and commanded multiple players marking her. Oetinger said the senior striker has earned a full-ride scholarship to a Division I program and looks better than ever. “She’s really the whole package as far as intelligence, work ethic, talent and personality,” Oetinger said. Christopher plays Los Gatos on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the second game of a doubleheader of the Earthquakes High School Soccer Series at Avaya Stadium. There will be no charge for parking or tickets, so fans are encouraged to come. Oetinger is a Los Gatos alum and coached there for six years, so he and the players are excited for this event for a variety of reasons. “Everyone is super excited because a lot of our role models (in the sport) have played on that field, whether it’s U.S. national players or different pro players,” said sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Anaya. “It’s kind of cool we’re going to play on the same field as them.” Anaya started at goalkeeper last year as a freshman, and she enters this season at a much higher level—both emotionally

earned some valuable minutes earlier in the season. Since most or all of the players who come into the program play club soccer, the freshmen have plenty of match experience. However, the social dynamics of high school soccer are different, and that is where their Christopher teammates can help them the most. “A lot of it is about gaining
faith and confidence as they come onto a team with juniors and seniors,” Oetinger said. “They can be intimidated and there can be a lot of self-doubt. So it’s really about keeping and putting them into situations where they buy into their own talent. They’re here for a reason—these girls can play.” Of that, there is no doubt.

PLAYMAKER Gilroy High sophomore Drew Gumin looks to make a play in the Mustangs’
63-53 loss to Christopher in the opening round of its tournament on Dec. 6.
Chris Mora
Gilroy High boys basketball coach Mike Suarez believes this year’s team can develop into something special. The Mustangs, who entered the week with a 3-2 record, opened up its Bob Hagen Tournament with losses to Christopher and Aptos before rolling past Monte Vista Christian. Suarez loves the energy the players bring every time they step on the court, whether it’s a practice or game. Gilroy has offensive firepower in sophomore guard Drew Gumin, who went 6 for 6 from 3-point range in the second half to lead a furious comeback win over Oak Grove on Nov. 28. Gumin and his twin brother, Mason, form a dynamic backcourt. Mason plays shooting guard and Drew the point guard, but as the Oak Grove game showed Drew can light it up on a moment’s notice. “Drew is really emulating the selfless attitude we want to incorporate as a team into our culture,” Suarez said. “We give Drew the green light for obvious reasons, but he’s always looking to set his teammates up. Mason has been a great shooter for us, but he’s really focused on the defensive aspect of his game and worked on his quickness. He really wants to defend the best guy on the other team.” Suarez said Mason
us versus Oak Grove,” Suarez said. “He turned the tide of that game.” Are has had a great attitude in switching from point guard to a frontcourt player, as he usually subs in for either Vegas or Filice-Hollar. “Jaeru is providing us with that sixth man role who can play anywhere in this new era of position-less basketball where you need to be able to play multiple positions,” Suarez said. “He’s got an inside game, an outside game, and is a never-ending mad man because he plays physical and earns his stripes.” After not playing on the team last year as a junior, Diego Hsu has returned and provided the team with his usual high energetic ways and being an intense competitor, especially defensively. Suarez said Hsu provides leadership on and off the court while also having the ability to spell one of the Gumin brothers when necessary. Suarez noted the nice background stories on seniors Juan Pirir Lopez and Tony Alvarez, who was the Most Valuable Player on the junior varsity team last season. Alvarez has only been playing organized basketball for the last 18 months, but has come on strong. Pirir Lopez made the JV team as a freshman but wasn’t on the team as a sophomore and got cut off last year’s squad. “He worked really hard in the off-season to make the necessary improvements that would make him a varsity player,” Suarez said. “He’s really taken
Chris Mora
Gumin has also put an emphasis on not settling for the outside shot and trying to attack the basket when the opportunity presents itself. Junior Josh Filice-Hollar and senior James Vegas are relied upon to control the glass. The two frontcourt players combined for 27 rebounds against Oak Grove, with Vegas averaging a double-double through the first couple of weeks of play after having a breakout season last year. FiliceHollar was the Pacific Division Defensive Player of the Year last season, but he didn’t rest on his laurels. “Josh has really stepped up in his ability to score and rebound,” Suarez said. “James continues to make improvements such as his footwork, defensive discipline, communication and shooting. He’s shooting 50 percent for us and is averaging 12.5 points per game. We rely on Josh and James to make sure not to give up second shots while creating second-chance shots for us.” Suarez said the team wants to establish a defensive bulldog mentality because while teams sometimes go into shooting slumps, defense is all about effort Junior point guard Carlos Andrade and senior Jaeru Are provide the team with depth off the bench, as they usually make an immediate impact in the game. Andrade provides solid ball-handling and allows Drew Gumin to switch to the shooting guard spot at any point in a game. “Carlos definitely helped

The Mustangs expect
sophomore Owen Straub to be back this week, and he has shown some potential after making the team last season as a freshman. “I’m really excited about this group,” Suarez said. “It ended up being a blessing
that we had attrition because we have a much more cohesive group. I feel like we’re further along now at this point in the season than we’ve been in the past, and that’s because guys worked hard in the off-season.”
