With marijuana legal for recreational use in California as of Jan. 1, Morgan Hill police are expecting to see more of the controlled substance on local streets in the coming months. That’s despite the fact that the commercial sale, cultivation, manufacturing and transport of cannabis products remain prohibited in the city limits, at least until after the city council discusses their options at an upcoming meeting. The voter-approved state law, known as Proposition 64, allows adults age 21 and older to legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana, with or GOOD WORKOUT Ben Norton, right, a personal trainer at the Centennial Recreation Center, works with local resident

Getting fit in the new year CRC OFFERS A PATH TO ACHIEVING NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION Scott Forstner Reporter

It’s the second day of the New Year and the Morgan Hill Centennial Recreation Center is bustling with activity as residents begin to put their “Get fit in 2018”

resolutions into action. The front desk receptionists are busy registering their newest members and checking in current ones. It’s a mix of adults, seniors, teenagers and even youngsters filling the bustling 54,000-squarefoot facility, which offers just about everything in the world of fitness. “We’re getting a lot of members we haven’t seen in a while and a lot of new members joining the facility,” said Kolby Rousseu,

the CRC’s Health and Wellness Director. “We’re getting more appointment times (for our personal trainers), and more staff just out providing assistance to our members.” Always at or near the top of any New Year’s Resolutions List is a selfpromise to get in shape. The CRC is one of a number of facilities in Morgan Hill (most of the others are owned by private companies rather than the city or any other

public entity) that provides different avenues for members to reach their health goals, including a fitness center with 25,000 square feet of cardio and fitness machines, a FitLinnx automated workout tracker and onsite personal trainers; a group exercise studio for free member classes such as Zumba, boot camp, yoga and TRX; a gymnasium with two full-length basketball courts (which were just resurfaced at

the end of 2017) for a variety of scheduled activities like basketball, volleyball, soccer and badminton; and a heated indoor pool for lap swim, lessons and Aqua classes. “It’s definitely lively here,” said Ben Norton, a personal trainer at the CRC. “The clients I work with are very nice, personable, good people.

JANUARY 5, 2018

City manager looks to the future CHRISTINA TURNER TALKS ABOUT GROWING COMMUNITY Christina Turner, 41, was appointed Morgan Hill’s newest city manager in October 2017. A native of Santa Clara and a Gilroy resident since 2001, Turner is in the process of moving to Morgan Hill with her husband, Lou Zulaica, and their 15-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son. Before the five-member city council appointed Turner to her current position, she worked as Morgan Hill’s Assistant City Manager for Administrative Services. She has a strong professional background in finance and public accounting, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce in Accounting from Santa Clara University, and subsequent work with a large accounting firm and credentials as a Certified Public Accountant. “During this time, I grew familiar with the accounting, finances, and operations of Fortune 500 and high-tech companies, startups, nonprofits and the medical industry,” Turner said. “I then went into the private sector and worked for a large independent power producer in Securities Exchange Commission reporting and Financial Planning and Analysis.” Her career in public service began with the City of Gilroy in 2006, where she worked as Assistant Finance Director, and then Finance Director/Treasurer for a decade before the City of Morgan Hill hired her. Turner and her family enjoy the outdoors, and watching their teenagers play baseball, basketball, soccer and sing. Below, Turner answered a few questions from the Times about her work in Morgan Hill, and

This includes Morgan Hill, where there replacing/maintaining critical are about 70 percent as infrastructure (primarily streets many jobs as there are and roads), the rising costs of working residents (as of pensions and the escalation of 2014)? other costs.

In addition, the two the future of the community and local public services as the city continues to grow.

Hill will ever be able to

attract a major hightech company to set up shop in town? What are the barriers/challenges standing in the way of something like that happening? Morgan Hill is special in so many ways, including our location in Santa Clara County, with a good mix of agriculture, business and residential developments. We have a very active Economic Development team that works with and solicits commercial and industrial development in our community to add to our existing rich portfolio of businesses. We have the space and resources for a major hightech company. Recently, we responded to the request for proposals from (online retail giant) Amazon for its second headquarters. The marketing and economic development research and preparation completed for our response will be helpful for other potential developments. Our success will depend on our ability to improve our telecommunications (and) transportation system, and provide adequate housing.

There are a number of restaurant/retail spaces, a hotel and more than 100 new housing units under construction in downtown Morgan Hill. How do you see the city being able to handle the associated impacts on streets infrastructure, traffic flow and downtown public safety when all these projects are complete? Part of the fee structure for development projects includes development impact fees, which are intended to cover the projects’ incremental impact on

the city’s infrastructure. These fees cover infrastructure such as sewer, water, traffic and public facilities. New development leads to additional sales tax and property tax that is used for providing operational services to the city, including public safety. The city receives gas tax based on population, that is used for the maintenance of streets. In addition, the passage of Measure B (Santa Clara County transportation sales tax), as well as Senate Bill 1 will assist the city in road repairs. The city’s operational and capital expenditures are reviewed during the budget process and throughout the year to prioritize each of these needs.

After last winter's heavy and, in some cases, devastating rains throughout the region, what has the City of Morgan Hill done to prepare for potential flooding and other rain-related impacts? Morgan Hill has an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) team with individuals from all city disciplines. We meet regularly to prepare for emergencies, from earthquakes to flooding. EOC members are trained in all aspects of emergency response and recovery. All city workers are designated as City Disaster Workers and could be called upon during the event of an emergency. We have developed exit routes for citizens and periodically send out emergency reminders. We are working closely with the Santa Clara Valley Water District regarding its plans for controlling the level of Anderson Dam. Officials from the district presented plans at a recent meeting and we will continue to jointly meet.

Van Daele Homes and Presidio Residential Capital have begun model home construction at The Gables, a 9.4-acre community that will offer 37 attached townhomes ranging from approximately 1,400 to 2,100 square feet in Morgan Hill, according to a Dec. 21 press release. That brings the total number of homes under construction by the development partners in Morgan Hill to 49, including a 12-home project known as The Commons underway at the intersection of San Pedro Avenue and Church Street. The joint venture

partners expect the community to be open for sale by summer 2018. “This wonderful new community in Morgan Hill will offer residents an opportunity to live in coveted Santa Clara Valley at a far more affordable price tag than found in the Silicon Valley tech hubs,” said Jeffrey Hack, president and CEO of Van Daele Homes. “We look forward to showing prospective buyers all that the convenience of townhome living in Morgan Hill has to offer.” The development is located at the northwest corner of Watsonville Road and Monterey Road. Amenities include a central park with a play structure, picnic table, barbecue and shade structure. The Gables in

Morgan Hill is a joint venture project with Presidio Residential Capital, a San Diego-based real estate investment company. The Morgan Hill City Council approved the development agreement for the 37-home project in May 2016. The joint venture partners recently celebrated the opening of another project called The Commons, a 12-home duet and singlefamily home community located on the northwest corner of San Pedro Avenue and Church Street. The Commons features duets and single-family homes of three and four bedrooms with up to 2,895 sq. ft per unit. More information is available at vandaele. com and presidioresi dential.com.

County services improved in 2017

OUR TOWN JOHN MCKAY

Cycling tour will expose our town to the world

n Dec. 20, the Morgan Hill City Council voted to approve funding to secure a local stop for one of the most prestigious bicycle races in the United States later this year, likely to inject an economic boost into our town. Due to the council’s approval, on May 16, 2018, the Amgen Tour of California will stop in Morgan Hill for one of the event’s time trial stages. Anyone even remotely familiar with bicycle racing, or who is a follower of the sports segment of the news, knows the Amgen Tour of California is a big deal. This race is considered a lead up to the Tour de France for many, and is the only race in the U.S. recognized by the key international bicycle racing sanctioning body. For those of you who really don’t pay attention to these kinds of things, you probably do know what the Tour de France is. This is California’s version of that. It’s a big deal and it’s now coming to our little town! So what does the Tour of California mean to us? It will be fun to watch, but the economic implications are extensive. This event will be televised around the world with a social media following that could bog down anyone’s internet to dial tone levels when everyone is in town: digital imagery of Morgan Hill will be floating around the world. A circus of riders and support crews, event staff, reporters and fans will be here in earnest. Hotel rooms as far as Monterey are already being booked. Morgan Hill will get to show off our regionally recognized active lifestyle. Did you know that Morgan Hill was touted as a Mecca for bicycling just a few years back, in conjunction with the Bicycling Spring Classic hosted by Specialized and Bicycling Magazine?

It will be fun to watch, but the economic implications are extensive. The promoters will host a “Lifestyle Festival,” where our downtown will turn into a huge bicycle party with all kinds of bicycling related vendors and parties lining Monterey Road. A community event is being planned nearby, where we can highlight our local and regional assets. There will be immediate benefits to local businesses, but the exposure promises to help local tourism and other industries as our community and its attributes are seen far and wide. We get to have a 30-second promotional video shown during the event highlighting Morgan Hill that should excite potential employers about our town being a great place for their businesses and employees. This is our time to shine, folks. Let’s make the best of it.

Every day, Santa County County employees work hard to provide “Real. Life. Help.” for our nearly 2 million residents. Many of the county’s vital services go unnoticed and unseen. Here are a few highlights from the past 12 months that we accomplished on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors: Adding housing. We approved funding for local housing developments that will benefit special needs seniors and the chronically homeless, funded by the 2016 $950 million affordable housing bond (Measure A). The six projects in Cupertino, Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Jose will add over 350 units to the housing supply. Caring for our animals. In November, we announced that planning and funding has begun to replace our current antiquated animal shelter in San Martin with a modern Animal Services Center designed to be a welcoming destination for visitors focused on animal welfare, care and education. Learn more about the new Animal Services Center and make a donation online at countypet.org. Responding to disasters. In March, we responded to flooding, mudslides and road failures with support and resources to local agencies, jurisdictions and the community, including property tax relief for qualified homeowners. Thirty-five million dollars in road repairs are ongoing in many areas. Opening the VMC medical center. In December, the Sobrato Pavilion at Valley Medical Center opened its doors. The long-awaited sixstory, 370,000-square-foot, 168-room state-ofthe-art building, is named after Silicon Valley philanthropist John Sobrato, in appreciation of his generous $5 million donation to the project. Reforming jails and public safety. In January, we approved body worn cameras for 1,142 sheriff deputies and jail officers. The goal is to help restore trust and confidence in law enforcement. By using this technology, the public can be protected against officer misconduct, and officers can be protected from unfounded allegations. Preserving agriculture and the environment. Working with the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority, we launched the Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Plan to conserve the Santa Clara Valley’s farmland and ranchland as an innovative climate change mitigation and economic development strategy. In the past 20 years, Santa Clara County has lost 45 percent of its farmland, and much of the 27,000 acres remaining are at risk of conversion due to intense development pressure. Celebrating local wine month. We declared September “Wine Month” in Santa Clara County, and celebrated the 3-year-old Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail, a 28-mile loop showcasing 25-plus wineries throughout Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy. I wish each of you a healthy 2018, and I look forward to another productive year on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

On Dec. 30 at 4:26pm, officers from the Gilroy Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at Pizza Hut, on the 1100 block of First Street in Gilroy.

Legal pot poses local challenges, benefits Marijuana, 1 without a state-approved medical ID card, according to Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Troy Hoefling. However, local marijuana users should know that it remains illegal to smoke pot anywhere in public or on school grounds. Driving under the influence of marijuana is still prohibited statewide, Hoefling said. “You cannot use or consume marijuana in a car. You can’t have an open container of marijuana in a car,” Hoefling added. According to ballotpedia. org, Prop 64 permits marijuana smoking in private homes or in businesses licensed for onsite consumption. Prop 64 also allows each adult to grow up to six marijuana plants on private property, as long as the cultivation area is locked and not visible from public view. Cities, counties and other local jurisdictions may not regulate or limit the six-plant growth allowance under the new state law. However, the new law allows local governments—as well as the state itself—to license, regulate and tax marijuana sales. It also allows locals to license large-scale commercial cultivation operations. Under previous laws that

permit the medical use, sale and growth of marijuana—and in a state regulatory environment that is generally more lenient that many other states—the City of Morgan Hill has traditionally taken the more restrictive path in comparison with some cities in the region. Currently, Morgan Hill prohibits the sale, cultivation and transport of marijuana for recreational, medical or other uses— a prohibition that is allowed by follow-up legislation approved by the state after Prop 64 passed. In July 2017, the council updated this ordinance to remove references to “medical marijuana” in response to the approval of Prop 64, and clarifies that existing local restrictions apply to both medical and recreational cannabis sales, cultivation and distribution. The council will revisit the issue and discuss their options at the Jan. 17 meeting, according to City Manager Christina Turner. This discussion will include information on what ordinances or policies other nearby cities are enacting in response to Prop 64. The staff report on that agenda item will be available on the city’s website, morganhill.ca.gov, Jan. 12. Some California cities,

Valuing youth The annual Morgan Hill Values Youth workshop,

enticed by the promise of a flood of sales tax revenues from recreational marijuana—an industry expected to generate more than $7 billion statewide by 2020— have embraced their new ability to allow retail sales. In San Jose, which approved a licensing program for retail marijuana sales late last year, customers reportedly formed long lines outside licensed dispensaries on Jan. 1, the first day recreational sales became legal in California. The original ballot summary for Prop 64—which was approved by 57 percent of the state’s voters Nov. 8, 2016—cites “additional tax revenues ranging from high hundreds of millions of dollars to over $1 billion annually, mostly dedicated to specific purposes” resulting from the law’s passage. This economic development impact is likely one aspect of the marijuana trade that Morgan Hill officials will discuss Jan. 17. The discussion will be a follow-up to previous workshops on the change in marijuana laws that the council conducted throughout 2017. These previous discussions included public comments from marijuana opponents who fear the new law will result in more drug use and

danger on the roads, and from supporters who rely on cannabis for chronic medical conditions for which they have to drive to other, more pot-friendly cities to seek treatment. The City of Morgan Hill could generate between $675,000 and $1.6 million in annual revenue if the council decides to implement a licensing and taxation program for marijuana industry businesses, according to a presentation by HdL Companies at a Sept. 27 council workshop. Other concerns and challenges related to Prop 64 that cities like Morgan Hill might face under the new law include the proximity of marijuana activities to local youth, impaired driving, continued black market sales, limited police authority to search and seize property and the growth of other crimes

Prop 64 imposes a state excise tax of 15 percent on licensed retail sales of marijuana, as well as state cultivation taxes of $9.25 per ounce of cannabis flowers and $2.75 per ounce of leaves, according to ballotpedia.org. The law also establishes packaging, labeling, advertising and marketing standards for marijuana products; prohibits advertising marijuana to minors; and authorizes the resentencing and destruction of record for prior marijuana convictions. In Santa Clara County, 58 percent of voters voted “yes” to Prop 64, according to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. In Morgan Hill, 57 percent of voters said “yes” to the recreational marijuana law.

Health buffs offer tips on how to stay fit Getting Fit, 1

‘Something for everyone’

And there are a plethora of options for all ages at the CRC. In addition to his personal trainer appointments, Norton teaches group exercise classes such as a low impact functional fitness for seniors and a high intensity kickboxing and circuit training class. “There’s something for everyone,” he added. Local resident Blair Zerr, a 9-year member of

the CRC who has lived in Morgan Hill since 1997, said he practically raised his family at the CRC. He’s enjoyed his time so much, Zerr joined the staff as a performance coach and also teaches some classes. “The CRC is all about family and getting well. If weights aren’t your thing, then there are fitness classes for anyone from age 6 to 80. Everyone is welcome,” Zerr said as he got some reps in on the TRX suspension station Jan. 2. “It’s a great place if you have a family, or if you don’t know anybody in town. Since they added this facility, it has really brought the community together.” A new member gets three free orientation sessions with a CRC staff member to learn how to use the different workout equipment properly, how to use the FitLinnx automated workout tracker and other membership benefits. The member can then pay for more 1-on-1 work with a personal trainer if so desired. All fitness classes are drop-in and free for members as well. A CRC membership for residents are $72 per month for an adult, $100 for a family and $35 for teenagers. The membership also includes access to the Aquatics Center

Norton, who earned his Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from San Diego State University, currently works with nine to 10 clients per week and is “hoping to get a few more in the New Year.” “What I tell (someone looking to get fit) is don’t do too much too soon. You’ve got to ease into it,” said Norton, originally from Modesto and now living with his wife in Hollister. “I know they’re excited, but you don’t want to burn yourself out. If you haven’t worked out in a long time, you have to ease into it.” Just as important, according to Norton, is finding an exercise or workout activity you enjoy doing rather than turning to a forced, fixed routine because “doing something is better than doing nothing.”

PUMP SOME IRON Morgan Hill native Johnny Jaime, 30, a 2005 Live Oak High School alumnus, is a regular in the fitness center at the Centennial Recreation Center. during summer months, and to YMCAs across the nation. The CRC is open 4:30am to 10pm Monday through Friday and 6:30am to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays. “We’re not a regular gym and swim,” said Rousseu, who noted that one in every four local residents

It’s a lifestyle. It’s not just a resolution... There’s a lot here to choose from. If you’re not into weight training, then we have a ton of classes and a pool. —DANIELLE HILL

is a CRC member. “We’re a family center with help for everyone.” The CRC offers a discounted teen membership starting at 13 years of age and has a teen center with programs, games and events specifically for their age group. The YMCA of Santa Clara Valley also operates within the facility and partners with the city to “provide high quality health and fitness, youth, teen, family, and senior programs for Morgan Hill residents and the surrounding community to enjoy,” according to city staff.

Morgan Hill native Johnny Jaime, 30, a 2005 Live Oak High School alumnus, got his CRC membership a few years back, but it wasn’t until seven months ago that he really started “taking time to use it up.” “I weighed over 300 pounds for eight years. I was watching my two boys grow up and it was a big motivation for me to lose some weight,” Jaime said before taking a rep on the bench press. He is now down to to about 280 pounds before doing a rep on the bench press. “The people, the staff are

all very welcoming. They make you feel comfortable. It’s very family oriented.” Local resident Danielle Hill, the Health and Wellness Coordinator, repeats a motivational quote that CRC staff uses to encourage members such as, “It takes 21 days to turn into a habit.” “It’s a lifestyle. It’s not just a resolution,” said Hill, who touted the “amazing staff ” for creating “a little community” within the gym. “There’s a lot here to choose from. If you’re not into weight training, then we have a ton of classes and a pool.”

South County mentors needed for foster care youth MORGAN HILL TO HOST INFO SESSIONS Child Advocates of Silicon Valley is in need of more Morgan Hill and Gilroy community volunteers to serve as friends, mentors and advocates for children in foster care. Three Information sessions are scheduled in Morgan Hill over the next three months for those interested in learning about what it

takes to participate in the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. All three will be from 5-6pm at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center, 17000 Monterey Road, on Jan. 9, Feb. 7 and March 6. Child Advocates recruits, trains and supports Court Appointed Special Advocates, known as CASAs, to work one-onone with children in foster care. A training session for new volunteers will take place in April.

CASAs provide critical emotional and educational support, ensuring that each child’s needs are met and their voice is heard while they navigate the court dependency system, according to Child Advocates. “We know CASAs make a tremendous difference in a foster child’s life,” said Karen Scussel, executive director of Child Advocates. Scussel noted that only 58 percent of all foster youth in California complete high school. But with

the support of a CASA, foster teens fare much better. Last year, 95 percent of Child Advocates’ teens completed their high school requirements. “We need CASAs in South County now more than ever,” Scussel added. “A growing number of children in the dependency system are being placed in foster homes in Morgan Hill and Gilroy. It really helps these children to have a CASA from the community to help them make

connections and settle in.” Currently, there are more than 1,500 children in the county’s dependency system—1,200 of whom would benefit from a CASA. This year, Child Advocates hopes to serve more than 900 children, according to a Jan. 3 press release. Laura Fulda, Child Advocates’ Director of Community Development, said the organization is particularly interested in recruiting male and Latino advocates.

“Half the children in foster care are boys and 70 percent are Latino.” Fulda explained. No legal experience is necessary. The time commitment is 10 to 12 hours per month, and volunteers must be 21 years or older. Those interested in becoming a CASA volunteer can visit Child Advocates’ BeMyAdvocate.org to sign up to attend an information session to learn more about the role and requirements.

Dallas and Derek Jensen vividly remember the individual 1-on-1 times they had with their dad, Kort, from the time they were adolescents into their college years. Most of those moments—they number in the thousands—took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Gilroy, the city in which all of them currently reside. Kort, who is in his ninth year as Oakwood High’s athletic director and boys basketball coach, took aside his boys to teach them not only how to properly shoot a basketball, but something far more important—the game of life. Kort called those father-son talks a dad, boy and a ball. “I remember sometimes struggling with things in life, and my father always said, ‘Let’s go talk about it,’” said Derek, a 26–yearold who is in his second season coaching the Christopher High boys basketball team. “Everything we talked about was bigger than basketball, but basketball provided that outlet and was a nice release from everyday life.” Dallas, 32, is in his first season coaching the Gavilan College men’s basketball team. Dallas said the time spent with his dad—in which

Kort imparted to his sons important values, among other things—are life lessons he uses with his players today. For the Jensens, it’s about building relationships. Sure, they coach to win, but in the grand scheme of things they know it’s the relationships that will have the greatest impact on the players than a team’s won-loss record. Realistically, no one remembers a team’s won-loss record just five years after the fact.

Life lessons

“We spent so much time in the gym growing up even in times I did not want to go to the gym,” Dallas said. “That enabled us to have an incredible relationship away from the game of basketball. I think being in the gym and being able to talk openly to one another really helped our relationship grow and helped me open up to him. I took those moments as an opportunity to learn.” Did he ever. Gavilan has enjoyed one of the greatest one-year turnarounds in California Community College basketball history. At 14-1 and ranked No. 3 in Northern California, the Rams have won more games this season than in their previous eight years combined. For Dallas, the wisdom Kort imparted onto him has transferred directly into how he views his role as a coach. “Obviously I’m a huge relationship guy and try to spend as much time I can with my players talking about basketball, but more about life,” Dallas said. In addition to Dallas and Derek, Kort has

The Dub Baseball Dynasty program will have tryouts for the youth (10 to 14 and under age group) Spring/Summer teams on Jan. 20 at 9 a.m. at Live Oak High High. Register at dubbaseball.com. Dub is entering its sixth year operating high level travel ball teams and has emerged as a model program focused on development of student athletes through a team concept. The Spring/ Summer season runs from February to July. The teams practice three days a week between the field and both of our Dub Indoor Training Centers in Hollister and Morgan Hill. Hollister-based practices will be held for players in the Hollister and Salinas areas. Dub will play in destination tournaments specialized for each age group. Multiple teams in some age groups are likely and has worked very well in the Dub program each season. For more information or questions, email erik@dubbaseball. com. Financial aid is available for families not able to afford the fees associated with travel baseball.

JENSENS AT HOME AS COACHES, MENTORS

TURNAROUND Dallas Jensen has guided the 14-1 Gavilan College men’s basketball

team to the No. 3 spot in the Northern California Community College rankings.

another son, Dylan, and two daughters, Ashley and Stacie. Kort and his wife, Cherie, have been married for 38 years. Whenever the sons needed a talking, Cherie would tell Kort to “get a ball and go to the gym.” “I would take one boy at a time and rebound their shots for hours,” Kort said. “During those hours we talked about everything in life: girls, grades, dreams, future, expectations, having respect for their mothers and sisters. That is where I basically did an interview with them every time we went to the basketball court.” The Jensens are true basketball junkies. Last Friday, they attended three basketball games—two high school and one community college. In those

times, the Jensens talk about players, their teams, strategies, Xs and Os and everything in between. “That’s pretty much how it’s always been,” Derek said. “Basketball dominates the conversation. Even if it’s out of season, that is the topic of conversation.”

Quality time

Kort made it a point to emphasize quality time with his sons. Derek specifically recalls going through issues on making a college decision after he had completed two years of community college basketball. “I remember his guidance and just being in prayer and doing the right thing,” Derek said. “He said we’ll get the help we need if I stay on the right path and continue

to stay close to the heavenly father. We’re such big believers and know if we do things the right way, things will fall into place.” Dallas knows his dad instilled in him traits that have helped mold him as a person and coach. “Dad had a different upbringing in that he had to grow up fast,” Dallas said. “He has taught us the value of service and relationship, of being kind and loving people unconditionally. And I think those traits alone have rolled over to what I’m trying to teach at this level. I’m trying to mentor young men from all different walks of life, helping them with their education, careers, basketball, and relationships.” Dallas, Derek and ➝ Jensens, page 20

Dallas, Derek and Kort Jensen are coaching lifers ➝ From page 19

“We are so blessed to have such great kids,” Derek said. “We feel like we hit the jackpot. Alanna is an amazing sleeper, and has been since Day One. She sleeps all the way through the night, and has been doing it since she was a couple weeks old.” Even though the Jensens have their own coaching methods, in the end everything comes full circle because they’re constantly sharing their thoughts and opinions. The three will often gather at Kort’s house, and they’ll pore over game film and examine plays online. When they’re away from each other, they’ll send texts of certain plays and ask each other to analyze them. They also scout constantly, together and separately. “We talk basketball everyday, and we all end up pretty much running the same things,” Derek said. Kort actually wasn’t planning on coaching until he realized his sons had a passion for the game at an early age. “That’s what drew me in more to do it,” Kort said. “Coaching wasn’t for them to follow me; I was following them.” Kort counts Sobrato Athletic Director Lawrence Crawford as one of his influential coaching role models. Crawford trained his son, Marcus, into one of the best basketball players to ever come out of the South Valley area. Derek had great mentors in Jay Baksa and Craig Martin, while Dallas had a great mentor in Percy Carr, the legendary San Jose City College

coach whom Dallas still has a strong relationship with today. The Jensens agree on many things, but not when it comes to rooting for their favorite NBA team. Kort is a Golden State Warriors fan, Dallas roots for the Lakers and Derek loves the Los Angeles Clippers. Of course, they have a much more vested interest in each other’s teams. In fact, Kort knows the Christopher boys well, as Derek has taken his team to his parents’ place on occasion. While coaching is rewarding, Kort said the best part of the job is when former players return for alumni contests or visit during a game. “The greatest part is when the kids return and they still call you coach,” Kort said “They come back with their own kids years later, but they still refer to you as coach. There is no greater honor—there really isn’t.” This happens because the Jensens are intentional in building relationships with their players. “You have to be there for the kids,” Derek said. “We’re there for them a lot more than for just basketball matters. When they’re off the court, they can still call us. And when they need help, we’ll be there. You can be tough on the kids and can even break them down once in a while, but at the end of the day they need to understand you love them and care about them. That takes a basketball team and relationships to another level. My guys know I love them and care about them way beyond the game.”

Kort also agrees they’re extremely fortunate to have wonderful wives who support them in every endeavor, especially when it comes to the basketball side. During the basketball season, spouses of coaches know there won’t be much quality time together. There simply isn’t enough time in the day once practice or the games end before it’s close to bedtime. Dallas, Derek and Kort rave about Cherie, who didn’t know much about basketball when she first met Kort but now has an uncanny understanding of the game. “She can sit with anybody and have an incredible conversation of the game of basketball because she’s been around it for a long time,” Kort said. “I’m married to greatest woman on Earth. She’s really attractive, fun and a great friend. She allows me to hang out at the gym all the time, and when I come home she can have a great conversation about basketball. I am the luckiest man in world.” Dallas and his wife, Kimberlee, recently celebrated their 12-year anniversary. They have four kids: AAliyah, 11; Zander, 9; Palmer, 6; and Otis, 1. “I don’t know how my wife deals with me to be honest,” Dallas said. “It’s craziness. She’s awesome, an incredible wife and an awesome and amazing mother. I got very lucky.” Derek feels the same way about his wife, Emily. On Dec. 21, the two celebrated their fiveyear anniversary. They have two kids, Houston, 3; and Alanna, who was born six months ago.

HAVING A BALL Kort Jensen is in his ninth season as Oakwood High’s athletic director and

boys basketball coach. He has led Oakwood to three CCS playoff semifinal appearances.

Picture a school where... teachers are passionate experts.

Please join us at our Open House! Saturday, January 20th 10am to noon

And when students learn from educators who are teaching their passion, they can’t help catching the enthusiasm. Here students find that there’s joy in every subject, and in being good—really good— at the passions you choose to pursue.
