Council, public debate local gun control CITY COUNCIL PLANS TO VOTE ON ORDINANCE AT OCT.17 MEETING Jaqueline McCool Reporter
➝ Gun Ordinance, 8
Robert Eliason
After months of meeting and soliciting community input, the Morgan Hill City Council is set to vote on the adoption of an ordinance that would make gun laws stricter within city limits. Councilmembers will consider accepting the ordinance drafted by City Attorney Don Larkin at the Oct. 17 council meeting. The draft ordinance was completed after two meetings where the public was invited to discuss proposals for the ordinance and drafts. The current version of the ordinance has seven points, addressing a permit for discharging weapons outside a designated

Pick of the patch
For much of the country, the fall season means cooler weather, changing leaves and pumpkin spice. Where there is no cool weather to be had, we’ll settle for pumpkins—lots of them—in all shapes and sizes. Uesugi Farms, a South Valley grower in Morgan Hill, brings the crowds to its farm, where its annual Pumpkin Park is a central fall attraction. The Pumpkin Park is only a one-month operation, opening Oct. 1 and closing up for the year after Halloween. The park, which is open every day during October, employs close to 200 people and
can attract 10,000 or more visitors per day over the course of October. On Saturday, Oct. 13, Uesugi Farms will host the highlight of its fall season at the Pumpkin Park with the 28th annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, when mindbogglingly large pumpkins from all over Northern California will be weighed. The owner of the heaviest pumpkin wins a prize of $7 ... per pound. For the fattest pumpkins that can reach weights of close to 2,000 pounds, that’s a nice payday. The park is located at 14485 Monterey Road. Read more in this week’s South Valley magazine.

Homecoming saved by MHUSD crews MAINTENANCE, GROUNDS WORKERS LAY NEW SOD TO REPAIR DAMAGE DONE BY VANDALS Scott Forstner Reporter
Suspect arrested for July 3 death in MH Staff report
Police this week arrested a Watsonville man on suspicion of murder following a three-month investigation into a suspicious death in Morgan Hill. About 9:40pm July 3, Morgan Hill Police officers
responded to the 15000 block of Concord Circle on a report of an unconscious man on the sidewalk, according to police. Officers and paramedics arrived and pronounced the victim dead. The victim was identified as Curtis Stapleton, 27, of Sunnyvale.

It was all hands on deck for the Morgan Hill Unified School District’s maintenance and grounds crew Oct. 4 as more than a dozen employees worked hard all week on repairing the damage done to the Ann Sobrato High School football field in time for the Bulldogs’ Oct. 6 homecoming game. “We’ll have it ready,” said Joe Stoykovich, MHUSD’s supervisor of maintenance operations, who had been out at the Burnett Avenue campus athletic field with his crew since Oct. 1. The Ann Sobrato varsity and junior varsity football teams defeated Yerba Buena in their homecoming games played on campus Oct. 6, thanks to the
efforts of MHUSD staff. The week prior, the Bulldogs were forced to play their home game at nearby Live Oak High School after someone drove onto the field and tore up the grass. “Someone came in and vandalized, doing doughnuts out here,” said Stoykovich, pointing to the largest patch at midfield where his crew was laying sod early on Oct. 4. “This was the worst part of it right here, in between the 40s right at the 50-yard line.” While patching up other smaller areas earlier in the week, MHUSD’s grounds and maintenance staff cut out a 60-foot by 60-foot patch in the middle of the all-grass football field. “We leveled it. We got the grass at the last minute to fill in today and we’re going to roll it,” said Stoykovich right before he went to work with his staff and began rolling the sod. “After we get all this laid, we’re going to roll it tight and get everything all level again for Saturday’s game.” Along with the 3,600-square-foot patch, the

DEBIT
Santa Clara County’s $235 million bid to buy Saint Louise Regional Hospital and O’Connor Hospital, revealed last week, could be the first of many bids for the hospitals owned by Verity Health System, Verity CEO Rich Adcock said in an interview Monday, Oct. 8. Adcock said the county’s offer mailed to the El Segundo nonprofit in early August would serve as a “stalking horse bid” for the two Santa Clara County hospitals, setting the initial floor price for the two hospitals at a public auction of all the local assets that the county bid on. Adcock said Verity asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court this month to schedule the auction for the first two weeks of December. He said he expected other purchase offers in the weeks ahead, but declined to identify the other suitors, or to say which hospitals are involved. “There has been robust interest” in the Verity hospitals, he said. He said Verity has had “formal conversations with over 125 different people for all or parts of the system.” In late August, Verity Health System filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 to “reorganize and facilitate an orderly and efficient sale process.” That means that the bankruptcy court must manage the sales process and approve any sale offer. County Executive Jeff Smith said the county’s offer, sent nearly a month before Verity announced the Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, had included with the purchase offer a list of terms and conditions offered for the two acute care hospitals. One condition would be that the county would make few changes in hospital and medical services. The dollar amount of the offer was not revealed until Verity’s Oct.2 announcement. The acquisition would increase the number of
county-run hospital beds by more than 80 percent, adding the 93 beds at Saint Louise and O’Connor’s 358 beds to the 563-bed Valley Medical Center, according to the county. The proposal also would include the De Paul Health Center in Morgan Hill. The bankruptcy filing followed what Verity described as “a diligent process of evaluating all options of the table in partnership with the board of directors and legal and financial expert counsel who assessed the organization’s dire financial situation.” The previous management of the six hospitals and their related health service centers had in 18 years accrued debt totaling over $1 billion, according to Verity. Verity Health secured debtor-in-possession financing of up to $185 million. This additional cash will enable continued operations without interruption to patient care, employees and vendors throughout the Chapter 11 process. Adcock said in an interview that Verity’s goal is to “ensure the long-term success” and “high-quality patient care of the hospitals.” The bankruptcy filing came 13 months after billionaire entrepreneur physician Patrick Soon-Shiong, bought a majority stake in its management company, Integrity Health Care, with a promise to revitalize the health system. Verity Health System had announced in July that it was “exploring strategic options to alleviate financial and operational pressures on its six hospitals.” This prompted Smith to move quickly with the county’s offer. The county currently operates one acute care hospital, Valley Medical Center, plus 10 healthcare clinics around the county. The sales process kicked off with the announcement of the “asset purchase agreement” with the County of Santa Clara. Verity Health has requested court approval of an “orderly auction process” where other potential buyers can submit qualified competing bids against Santa Clara County’s bid.
The winning bid, as selected by the Verity Health Board of Directors, in consultation with its professional legal and financial advisors, is subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court, and, depending on the buyer, the California attorney general. “O’Connor and Saint Louise are two critically important institutions in the communities they serve, and the county has shown great leadership to ensure both can continue their mission of providing high-quality care to patients well into the future,” said Verity’s Adcock in a statement. “As we advance this sale process through the court, we are continuing to work with other potential buyers for Verity’s remaining assets, so they can be relieved from the financial burdens that impede their service to the community, and they can continue serving patients in their respective communities.” The county is seeking to acquire substantially all assets at both hospitals for a purchase price of $235 million, although that price is potentially subject to certain adjustments at closing. In the agreement, the county has committed to operating both hospitals “with a focus on quality, safety and patient satisfaction, including maintaining participation with public and private payors.” In addition, the county commits to instituting its charity care policies, and continuing to provide care through community-based health programs. Adcock told Reuters that Verity has been losing $175 million per year on cash-flow basis, and operated at a loss for at least the past three years. Politico quoted Verity as saying it had planned to break even in the 12 months ended June 2018, but the system reported its operating performance was $116 million below its budget expectations. It was also reported that prior to filing for bankruptcy, Verity stopped all capital improvement projects, and needs to spend millions in updates to meet California's seismic standards by 2019.
There has been robust interest. —RICH ADCOCK

OPINION FROM THE WEB Re: ‘Council formally opposes Prop 6’ Instead of spending money on that stupid train, that money should go to our roads. Julia Falknor via Facebook
Will the council be providing complete transparency on where the money is being spent and allocated by the state? That is surely part if educating the voters on where their money is going. Then they have a better understanding of what they are supporting as a whole and not just the small portion that is morgan hill. Jesse Marshall via Facebook
Our state government has already taxed us to death. We had a $6 billion state budget surplus last year. They don’t need more money. They need to spend it on the roads. Laurie Beasley via Facebook
The state has already siphoned off over 30% of the funds from the tax they sold to us as being for roads and repairs. Send a message. Repeal the tax and force them to do what they say they are going to so with our money.

Changing the rules to change election results
C
lay Matthews, the Green Bay Packers’ much-feared linebacker, was penalized after a hard tackle on Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith on Sept. 23, running afoul of new league rules aimed at protecting Smith and other QBs from injury. It was the second straight week that Matthews had been ticketed for making hard tackles on quarterbacks, and he complained loudly. The particulars of the incidents aside, they illustrate a cogent point. Changing the rules of the game can change outcomes. If linebackers can’t go after quarterbacks they way they used to, it gives the offense an advantage vis-à-vis the defense. What’s true in sports is also true in politics. Each legislative session brings a slew of bills to change political rules, with the hope of affecting who or what wins or loses. Two of this year’s political rules measures, one signed and one vetoed, underscore the syndrome. The Democrats who control the Capitol have been trying for years to alter the initiative system that allows advocates to bypass the Legislature and take their proposals directly to voters by gathering signatures of registered voters on petitions. Why? Having achieved domination of the Capitol, they and their allies, such as unions, want to make it more difficult for competing interests, particularly anti-tax or business groups, to bypass the Legislature and place their causes on the ballot. Assembly Bill 1947 would have done exactly that by banning organizations from paying professional signature-gatherers for each name they collect. They would have had to be paid by the hour or by the day instead. The rationale for the measure was that paying by the name encourages

Re: ‘MHUSD: Sobrato football field will be ready for homecoming’
signature-gatherers to distort the measures they are promoting, making them sound benign. But the real motive was to make qualification of initiatives, referenda and recalls more expensive, as Brown said in his veto message. Brown rejected a nearly identical bill in 2011, and he repeated his reasoning on AB 1947, saying that paying by the signature is “often the most cost-effective method for collecting the hundreds of thousands of signatures needed to qualify a ballot measure.” Brown, it should be noted, used pay-bythe-name signature gatherers to qualify two initiatives himself. The second rule-changing bill, which Brown signed, allows Davis Unified School District to exempt teachers and other school employees from paying a parcel tax it would submit to voters for approval. The official rationale for the exemption, as Senate Bill 958’s author, Sen. Bill Dodd, a Napa Democrat, puts it: “This bill would provide an additional incentive for public educators and school staff to live in the community in which they work, despite the severe shortage of affordable housing.” The more likely reason is that exempting school employees who live in the district from paying new taxes would make them— and their unions—more likely to support the campaigns to get them approved by voters. It’s a classic slippery slope, as critics of the measure pointed out in legislative hearings. Now that Davis school employees have a tax exemption, workers for other local government agencies will certainly demand similar treatment when their employers seek tax hikes. That’s a potentially huge, game-altering change of political rules.

Chialas donate funds for playground PLAYGROUND WILL BE LOCATED AT MORGAN HILL COMMUNITY PARK Staff report
to make a donation in memory of Rick Chiala, who died unexpectedly two years ago, according to Tobin. While the family’s donation will go solely toward the inclusive park, the city and Chialas agreed to recognize the gift by memorializing Rick Chiala at an adjacent picnic area.The park’s westernmost picnic area will be named the “Rick Chiala BBQ Area.” In recent years the city has spearheaded a campaign to raise $5.2 million to fund an inclusive playground at Community Park. The city has contracted with the non-profit Magical Bridge Foundation to support the fundraising, grant writing and design efforts for the playground, according to city staff.
Michael Moore
A recent donation from the Chiala family puts the City of Morgan Hill over the 80 percent funding mark for an inclusive playground to be built at a local public park, according to city staff. At the Oct. 3 City Council meeting, council members and Mayor Steve Tate recognized the $23,000 donation from members of the Chiala family. The Chialas are longtime Morgan Hill residents who are known for
their commercial farming operations as well as their various philanthropic efforts that have supported community projects and organizations over the years. The donation from the Chialas will go directly toward the construction of an inclusive playground at Morgan Hill Community Park, located on West Edmundson Avenue, according to city spokeswoman Maureen Tobin. The new inclusive park will be designed and constructed by Magical Bridge Foundation in partnership with the city to provide recreational opportunities for all the community’s children and adults, including those who are disabled. The Chiala family recently reached out to city staff to express their desire

will be renamed the “Rick Chiala BBQ Area” in recognition of a donation from the Chiala to the city.
Proposal echos existing gun laws Gun Ordinance, 1 range, licensed dealers posting regulations, reporting firearm loss or theft to the Morgan Hill Police Department, storing a firearm when not in a home, a regulation on high capacity magazines, confiscation if a person violates the ordinance terms and violation of the ordinance. Following the mass shooting in Parkland, Fla. at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, students across the country protested U.S. gun regulation. Morgan Hill students joined the National School Walkouts on March 14, and city council members responded.
After talks with local high school students, councilmembers decided to move forward with a proposed ordinance to regulate guns in Morgan Hill, which Larkin said had been long discussed by the council. On March 7, the City Council adopted a resolution condemning gun violence. Community members who voiced concerns at that meeting were then invited to a small roundtable meeting Aug. 8 to discuss a proposed ordinance. Council members Rich Constantine and Rene Spring were present at an informal meeting Aug. 8, where a select group of
residents who had spoken up at the March 7 meeting were invited to voice their thoughts on the proposed aspects of the ordinance. At the Aug. 8 meeting, a majority of the attendees advocated for increased gun safety education as opposed to regulation. City Engagement and Communication Manager Maureen Tobin told the Times these may be additional requests made by the City Council, but would not be a part of the ordinance. Dave Truslow was at the August meeting and had many recommendation for the city about how the ordinance should be amended. He said he was
ultimately still unhappy with the way the ordinance had turned out. Truslow believes the most recent draft of the ordinance won’t make a difference and has language that is not clear enough. “They’re missing an opportunity to clean this thing up,” said Truslow. “It doesn’t cover lots of things that would be reasonable safe uses.” At the August meeting, Councilmembers Constantine and Spring had said the ordinance would be worth something even if it only saved one life. Many of the proposals elaborated on existing California gun laws.
Reporting lost or stolen firearms to the Morgan Hill Police Department would be specifying California law, which requires reporting to local law enforcement. Larkin said there are many local law enforcement agencies and that the specification in a city ordinance would clarify the laws. A similar ordinance passed in Sunnyvale was upheld in court, and Larkin said he created the proposed Morgan Hill ordinance following the same legal guidelines. “I think the factors that made it okay in Sunnyvale apply to Morgan Hill,” said Larkin. Large-capacity
ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are also illegal in California if they were purchased after the year 2000. Following the announcement of the ordinance, the city accepted public comments until Oct. 5. The Oct. 17 meeting is open to the public and will be held at 17555 Peak Ave. at 5:30pm. The council will either choose to adopt the ordinance, make recommendations to have the ordinance amended or vote it down.

New bail law will nix monetary system BOND BUSINESS CLAIMS LOWINCOME WILL BE WORSE OFF Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
often can't afford to pay bail. Bail bonds companies step in by offering a surety bond to cover the bail, along with a 10 percent fee. The California Money Bail Reform Act was introduced by Senator Bob Hertzberg and Assemblymember Rob Bonta, both Democrats, to ensure that prisoners were not held solely because they could not afford bail. Brown had sought bail bond reform since as far back as 1979, when he called the current system a "tax on the poor." Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who said the current system is “outdated, unsafe and unfair," voiced their support for the reform. The effort is among several criminal justice reforms championed by the Brown administration. Brown has also signed bills and measures to downgrade drug offenses, ease punishments for juvenile offenders and expand the possibility of early release for prisoners. Now the bail bond industry is scrambling to gather more than 350,000 signatures from registered California voters to overturn SB 10. If advocates of the bail bond industry can obtain the needed signatures by the Nov. 26 deadline, voters will be able to cast their ballots in 2020 to decide the fate of the current system. Until then, the Riveras will continue business as usual, but they will also
Bryce Stoepfel
On Aug. 28, Gov. Jerry Brown signed one of the most sweeping bills of his administration, Senate Bill 10, the California Money Bail Reform Act, which will abolish the state’s current money bail bond system. Frank and Yesenia Rivera, owners of Eight Ball Bail Bonds in Hollister, say the new law would put them out of business. “The biggest problem in California is that the legislators think we’re taking advantage of people, or that we don’t bail out people of color; that’s not true,” Frank Rivera said. “We bail out anyone within reason.” Rivera has been bailing people out of jail since 1997, when he opened Eight Ball Bail Bonds, now located at 335 San Benito Street in Hollister. The Hollister native recognized that there was a need, and for him, it was good business sense to work to get people out of jail quickly. For anyone sitting in a jail cell, quick is essential. For Rivera, if the current system of bail is overturned, many arrestees may find themselves in prison longer than they would have if they could use Eight Ball Bail Bonds. "If you get arrested on a Friday, you won't be able to see a judge until
that Monday, or longer if there's a holiday," Rivera said. If the new law goes into effect on Oct. 1, 2019, instead of paying a monetary bond, judges will decide who remains in prison based on how much danger the prisoner potentially poses to the community. Bail bond agencies are a lot like tow truck businesses. You don’t want to need their service, but you’re glad they’re there if you ever do. The Riveras think the bail bond industry is unfairly stigmatized, and that these businesses fill a role useful both to the arrestee and the state. “A bail bond is a power of attorney that is worth what the bail is set at,” Rivera said. “If they don’t come back to court, we have six months to bring them back. If we don’t, we owe the full amount due to the court. If the new law is put into effect, the taxpayers foot the bill.” Each county sets bail based on the crime the defendant is charged with, and the court ensures their return by paying back the bail when the trial is over. If the arrestee fails to return to court when ordered, the bail is forfeited. At that point, Rivera must either hire a bounty hunter to make the arrest, or he must make the arrest himself. Under the new law, state police are on the hook to find and arrest bail jumpers. Critics of the current system contend that it's a tax on the poor since many impoverished offenders
BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL Frank Rivera, owner of Eight Ball Bail Bonds in Hollister may be out of business if bail reform legislation signed by Governor Jerry Brown goes in effect. need to have an eye on the future lest they have to find another way to make a living. “I don’t know yet what we’re going to do,” Rivera
said. “For 20 years, it’s helped us raise a family and send our kids to school, and we’ve been able to stay off the road and do business here.
If not, the court may have open positions and Farmers Insurance reached out to see if we wanted to work with them.”

The school needs to teach students how to respond, capturing and reporting the attacks, while parents need to monitor their children’s social media activities. If the school district discovered additional funds that needed to be allocated immediately, what areas would you like to see those funds go toward, and why? A first goal would be smaller class sizes. Marginal changes (e.g. reduce by 1) have little impact, but sizable changes can have a significant benefit. Key issues in special education would be another focus for additional funds to increase the number of specialists (e.g. speech) and paraeducators to provide support.
Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers I would like to form a committee (with representation from all stakeholder groups) to intensely study and focus on the issue of teacher retention. I would also like to hear directly from our teachers, by survey, to get feedback on work culture/climate and compensation—two major issues affecting retention. School safety and bullying Improve school safety: Hire/assign additional school resource officers, because one for the entire district is not enough; Utilize an off-duty MHPD officer at each middle school a few days per week and high school daily. Eliminate bullying: Implement OLWEUS Anti-Bullying and Prevention Program at all school sites.
Increase/supplement teacher pay to be more competitive; increase support of athletics, arts, music and enrichment programs to focus on the whole student and not just test scores; Implement ideas in question no. 2 to improve school safety and eliminate/reduce bullying; hire additional counselors for the high schools to better support students.
EMMA NUNEZ Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers I believe hiring and retaining highly qualified teachers should be an issue that Morgan Hill addresses as a community and in partnerships with the City and other relevant agencies. The reason for this is because the most pressing challenge we have in Morgan Hill and, for that matter, in Santa Clara County is the cost of living. Multiple groups and agencies must come together to collaborate and find compromise by way of providing affordable housing and better pay. School safety and bullying I believe that positive behavioral intervention and investing in mental health resources at a local level will help improve school safety and eliminate bullying in schools. Immediate allocation of additional funds If additional funds were discovered, they should be allocated to retaining highly qualified teachers and professional development. Retaining highly qualified teachers is important because it helps to ensure that students are successful and can achieve their highest potential in the classroom and beyond.

Trustee Area 2 TARA BEVINGTON Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Advocate for the revitalization of Live Oak Foundation or addition of a dedicated fundraising professional to pursue grants such as the CTC Teacher Residency Capacity Grants. A foundation could also obtain additional funding streams that would allow the district to offer recruiting bonuses, expand continuing education offerings or advancement incentives. School safety and bullying The most frequent concern I hear from parents regarding school safety is student drop-off and pickup
logistics. I would research what policies the district has to support our schools, then explore community partnerships to identify solutions as well as provide structure or enforcement. Immediate allocation of additional funds Teacher recruitment and retention programs as well as funds to improve equity for underserved student populations. I would then look for opportunities to enhance mental health services and support, such as establishing a district-wide anti-bullying and de-stigmatization of mental illness programs and social media campaigns.
JAMES DILL Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers I would ensure from the
initial interview to the onboarding process a high-quality mentoring/ coaching and induction (with the principal's participation), into the classroom. Schedule adequate time for each teacher for planning and collaboration with other teachers. “High-quality,” thoughtful development and support to learn and grow so they can meet the needs of the students. School safety and bullying Implement meaningful back-to-school communication now and over the summer to keep all stakeholders informed regarding safety/security improvement; prevent visitor access during changing of classes; single point of entry; staff monitoring of arrival and dismissal times; strong
visitor management; window glazing; cameras. Bullying and cyberbullying: Have teachers in locations where bullying has occurred; get parents involved; empower students to communicate to a trusted adult if friends are being bullied. Immediate allocation of additional funds School security: It is imperative we keep our students and staff safe and protected. Look for weak areas in secured areas and repair or replace defective items. School lunches: Our students should be concentrating on their studies and not on whether they are going to have a lunch. Instructional material: Purchase or replace instructional material for each class. ➝ School Board, 14

JOHN HORNER
School safety and bullying
Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Obviously we need to pay staff as well as possible, but turnover isn’t just about money, it is also about culture. Trustees must demonstrate respect and appreciation. Modeling positive behavior and insisting on it by all levels of employees will improve teacher retention. School safety and bullying First, make health and safety the no. 1 facilities spending priority with cameras, appropriate fencing, etc. Reduce bullying by building a culture of mutual respect. Culture starts at the top, and every trustee and district employee must demonstrate the respect for one another that we want our students to emulate. Immediate allocation of additional funds Our schools need more counselors and advisors available at every level. We need to bring back choir, shop, daily physical education and other so called “non-essential” classes to provide a full and engaging school day. These would be a good place to start spending any windfall.
ENRIQUE NAVARRODONNELLAN Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Teacher retention and recruitment depends on competitive salaries that enable them to live within commute range of their schools. Even if we cannot successfully lobby Sacramento for more district funding, we can support state income tax exemptions for teachers' salaries as
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is the key to MHUSD schools' safety. This requires single-entry and controlled-movement architectural design. Additionally, I would push to recruit additional school resource officers to proactively guard against intruders. Countering bullying depends on a collaborative school culture and team-building programs like Camp Everytown. Immediate allocation of additional funds I would spend additional funds toward campus safety redesign as stipulated in my CPTED agenda. The best way to spend one-time funds is toward projects with long-lasting positive impacts, especially security enhancements. Additionally, such funds must be applied to next-generation classroom technology upgrades.
Trustee Area 4 CAROL GITTENS Hiring and retaining highly qualified teachers District practices must showcase high value and respect for our teachers. I support strategies to bolster entry-level salaries and benefit packages. Master teachers should be compensated for their growth, effort and commitment. We need leadership and growth opportunities within the district, teachers’ feedback in decision making, and enhanced worklife balance. School safety and bullying School safety and protecting the well-being of our student community is a top
priority for me. I endorse prevention-based policy/protocols: School-based crisis assessment and intervention teams; Broad scale training in Restorative Justice, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS); Recognition and response to signs of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Vulnerability assessments conducted by public safety partners. Immediate allocation of additional funds Additional one-time funds should go toward anticipated deficits in high-need, high-impact programs such as food service, instructional material acquisitions and other essential student services that may be threatened by budget shortfalls. Mitigating the negative impact of cost-saving measures needed to balance the annual budget would be my top priority.
ROBERT GUYNN Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers To hire and retain highly qualified teachers, we need to increase newly hired teachers’ salaries. Starting salaries in MHUSD are some of the lowest in the county. I believe that getting MHUSD teacher salaries even with other districts would encourage teachers to come to and stay in the district. School safety and bullying Parent involvement always improves school safety and works to eliminate bullying. The answer is always, more parent involvement. According to stopbullying.gov, research also shows that when adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Over time, this can stop bullying.
Mitigating the negative impact of costsaving measures needed to balance the annual budget would be my top priority. —CAROL GITTENS Immediate allocation of additional funds I would like to see money allocated for teacher salaries and classroom supplies. Teachers now reach into their own pockets to purchase supplies. No more cuts in electives like art and music. I would also like to see additional funds go to classified employees. These are the employees that are always cut when funds are depleted.
JILL PROVENCAL Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers Increase teacher pay through smarter use of tax revenues. Teachers in MHUSD are paid less than county peers and funding comes from student attendance. Over 3.5 percent are absent daily. Absenteeism costs us $3 million annually. Focus on problem solving with families of students with highest persistent absenteeism to cut absenteeism by half. School safety and bullying Early identification of students with behavior problems and involve their families. Continue PBIS programs. Improve bathroom/ hall monitoring. Secure fences and sensors for all exits. Provide more training to staff and badged volunteers on all safety issues. Zero tolerance for vaping. Stop spraying RoundUp on school lawns. Immediate allocation of additional funds Special education: classroom materials, technology, and additional staff. Communication:
build a marketing program to promote our schools with the goal of attracting and retaining families. Resources: build a teacher retention program to retain top teaching talent;
and classroom size, teaching other grade levels and subjects, and special education does not have the personnel needed due to recruitment challenges.

Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers
Hiring and retaining of highly qualified teachers I plan to work collaboratively reexamining best and promising strategies to set direction for priorities with greater impact short and long term, including revisiting a local tax and permanent fund; working with the city on housing opportunities; exploring scholarships and forgivable loans; investing in professional development. School safety and bullying My ideas focus on promoting the use of evidencebased prevention practices and a community approach to how we operationalize and evaluate current safety protocols. District-wide campaigns, community engagement, partnerships, staff development and regular assessments are elements to a culture that is safe and protects students and staff. Immediate allocation of additional funds Applying an education equity lens, I would like to see funding support staffing in special education, early education and up-to-date tools/resources where needed. Educators face greater workloads
I will ensure teachers have defined career pathways. By offering clearly articulated pathways with structured support, mentorship, and increased compensation, more teachers will stay in our district. Additionally, I will explore piloting a teacher residency program, to create opportunities for more people to obtain teaching credentials and lead MHUSD classrooms. School safety and bullying As a trained therapist, I have extensive knowledge about safety and mental health. Our students cannot learn if they do not feel safe. As a trustee, I will ensure we devote resources to mental health services, provide exceptional training to our staff and engage parents about safety and bullying issues. Immediate allocation of additional funds While 89 percent of MHUSD students graduate from high school, only 46 percent of these students are eligible to apply to a UC/CSU. With additional funds, I would increase the number of counselors to ensure that more students are able to apply for college and are supported during these challenging years.

HARD WORKER Sobrato High junior Orion Woods rarely comes off the field, as he plays on the offensive and defensive lines along with being the team’s long snapper. Coach Tony Holmes said Woods’ intangibles, most notably a tireless work ethic, has helped the team in a variety of ways.
PREP FOOTBALL
Sobrato finds its footing BULLDOGS ON A HIGH AFTER EARNING 1ST LEAGUE WIN emanuel lee Sports Editor
Robert Eliason
Orion Woods trusts in the process and lets the results take care of themselves. Irrespective of the scoreboard, Woods knows his job is to finish his blocks and compete hard on every play until the whistle sounds. No let up. No taking downs off. Just working hard, all the time. “My goal is always the same— to be the best I can be,” said Woods, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound Sobrato High junior two-way lineman and long-snapper. “I try to be the best I can be, and that means not letting go of my blocks on offense and getting through the line on defense. I’m trying to get first team all league.” The Bulldogs enter Friday night’s Blossom Valley League West Valley Division game against San Jose High with added confidence after posting an 18-15 win over Yerba Buena last week. Jordan Sheets completed 12-of-20 passes for 174 yards, Jesse Redmond rushed for 102 yards on 17 carries and Jonathan Sheets had a game-high 13 tackles as Sobrato improved to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in league play. Junior Orion Woods had seven tackles while also playing solid on the offensive line. As a guard on the offensive line, tackle on the defensive line and long snapper for the punt and field goal units, Woods rarely comes off the field. Woods got called up to the varsity team for the team’s final two games last season, including the Central
Coast Section playoff contest against Hillsdale. Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for Woods to make an impact. Woods rotated in at guard in the first half of the contest, then took all the snaps at guard in the second half and it’s been full speed ahead since. Bulldogs coach Tony Holmes said Woods brings with him a host of valuable intangibles. “His work ethic brings a lot of energy to the table,” Holmes said. “He’s one of the younger leaders on the team, and he’s just tenacious. His energy uplifts a lot of the players surrounding him.” Woods has decent size on his frame, and utilizes effective technique to win the majority of his battles with opposing players. Holmes said that is a byproduct of Woods participating in several football camps. “The one thing I ask of these athletes when they go to these camps is to bring a little bit of that knowledge back, and he’s really good about doing that,” Holmes said. “He shares all of the little small technique details that we might not be up to date with. He doesn’t have the frame or size yet of a (college) offensive lineman, but once he gets there, he’s going to be really good. He’s already been good for us.” Incredibly enough, Woods is just in his second year of playing football. The Morgan Hill native grew up playing rugby, which he did from the fourth grade through his freshman year. Playing rugby taught him the fundamentals of tackling and got him prepared for the rigors of the physicality aspect in football. “In rugby, you need to get low, underneath the shoulders and wrap up,” he said. “Rugby is definitely safer than football because you need to be able to tackle
GROUND GAME Sobrato High’s Jesse Redmond rushed for a season-high 102 yards on 17 carries, including one touchdown in the Bulldogs’ 18-15 win over Yerba Buena last Friday. Sobrato plays San Jose High next. correctly, whereas in football you go head-on like a train probably because you’re padded up and you have protection and you can. Rugby is a lot more running because there is no stoppage in play, and football there is a lot of stoppage in play, but indefinitely it’s more of a collision sport.” Woods has always admired his dad, Nate, who played
linebacker for San Jose State in the 1986 and 1987 seasons. “(In the off-season) he’ll teach me many new things to improve my game,” Woods said. “(When I see him on old film or video) I always think it’s amazing what he did and was able to accomplish. All I can think about is hoping and striving to be my best so I can play there some day.”
Holmes said Woods has a bright future and tremendous potential. As long as Woods works hard—his work ethic is his greatest attribute—playing football beyond high school is a realistic possibility. “He’s one of our hardest workers and is one of our young men who is a pleasure to watch because he competes so hard,” Holmes said.

Tortora is a shark in the board room MORGAN HILL’S JOHN TORTORA HAPPENS TO BE PRESIDENT OF SHARKS SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT emanuel lee Sports Editor
bids, We weren’t expecting 2019, but the opportunity popped up so we jumped at it.” Tortora and his SSE cohorts worked with the league for over six months to negotiate terms of the All Star Game returning to San Jose. “The biggest selling point is our fans and the passion for hockey in the Bay Area is very high,” Tortora said. “The fact they were able to fill Levi’s Stadium with 70,000 fans is a testament to that.” Tortora was referring to the Sharks participating and hosting the 2015 Stadium Series outdoor game at Levi’s Stadium against the Los Angeles Kings. In addition to the return of the All Star Game and the Stadium Series outdoor game occurring under his watch, Tortora is particularly proud of having a part in the franchise’s American Hockey League team relocating to San Jose, meaning the Sharks are one of just three NHL teams that have one of their minor league clubs playing in the same city. That gives the organization and fan base the chance to see the future in the present, as a couple of the San Jose Barracuda players are now wearing a Sharks uniform. “It’s also an opportunity to bring the game to the fans from a different price point,” Tortora said. The one goal that the Sharks franchise haven’t accomplished is winning the Stanley Cup. In 2016, of course, the Sharks reached the Stanley Cup Finals before losing to Pittsburgh in six games.

When John Tortora earned his law degree from Seton Hall University in 1994, his goal was to run an NHL team. “I never had the ability to play (hockey at a high level), but I loved the business and legal aspects of the sport,” said Tortora, a Morgan Hill resident. “During the late 1980s and 1990s when I was in college, the sports world was becoming more big business and the issues facing them more interesting. I had a strong passion for hockey ever since I was a teenager, so I thought if I could marry the passion of hockey with my legal acumen, I’d do OK.” He’s done more than OK, thank you. Tortora, 49, is the president of Sharks Sports & Entertainment (SSE), which oversees the San Jose Sharks, the San Jose Barracuda and operates SAP Center and Solar4America Ice in San Jose. Whether he’s at work or at home, Tortora is living a dream. Tortora and his family moved to Morgan Hill from a picturesque Willow Glen neighborhood three years ago for one big reason: space. Tortora and his wife, Debbie, bought a home off East Dunne Avenue, minutes away from downtown but far enough where he can get lost in nature. “We like the rural nature of Morgan Hill,” he said.
“My wife grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York, and from the corner where we live now there are farms with sheep and horses. We have Anderson Dam, farms and a little rodeo nearby, and we’re minutes from downtown. It’s very appealing.” Tortora had a glean in his eyes when talking about how he met Debbie, who sat in front of him in law school. Debbie oversees hospice and healthcare for Kaiser Permanente’s Redwood City to San Jose locations, John said. “I have one degree; she has two. She has hair; I don’t. She’s much better looking,” John said laughing, poking a little fun at himself while praising his wife. Tortora has overseen a number of impactful projects in his role as the SSE president; however, there are a couple of accomplishments under his watch that he’s particularly proud of. One of them is bringing the NHL All-Star Game back to San Jose, which takes place in January 2019. The franchise hosted the event one other time, in 1997. Tortora, who has been with SSE for seven years, heard the drumbeat from fans to bring the All-Star Game back to San Jose. “Practically every week I’ve been in San Jose, a fan will come up to me and say they can’t wait to get the All Star Game here again,” Tortora said. “The league takes a bid on a threeyear process (the Sharks bid on the 2019, 2020 and 2021 games), and we were hoping to get one of those
SOUTH VALLEY PRIDE Sharks president John Tortora and his wife Debbie have lived in
Morgan Hill for three years, and love the city’s combination of rural and suburban life.
“We’re in this business to win the Stanley Cup— that is always the corporate goal,” Tortora said. As the president of SSE, Tortora oversees the company’s finance and venue operations. Besides pro hockey games, Tortora expressed pride in having a variety of unique events at the SAP Center monthly. “More than anything, we want to bring fantastic entertainment and want to be a place where the community can gather for all different type events, not just hockey games,” he said. Tortora pointed to several cultural and diverse
events that take place at SAP Center, including high school and college graduations and events that spotlight the rich diversity in the Bay Area. “SAP is a place for everybody and we want to continue to bring events to the arena that our diverse community can enjoy,” he said. Tortora emphasized his love for Morgan Hill, noting the city is developing at the right pace and balances its rural roots and necessary development of housing and businesses at the same time. “It’s one of the few places in the world where
you can drive on a busy road—in this case Main Street, Monterey Highway or East Dunne—and pass someone who is galloping on a horse. I think that’s very attractive,” he said. Before coming to SSE, Tortora spent 14 years working at the NHL’s New York City headquarters. “When I got there, it was to use it as a stepping stone,” he said. “The goal was to run an NHL team and to land in a place with great ownership, great colleagues and great fans. I didn’t think it would take 14 years to do that, but it was definitely worth the wait.”
