RECORD RUN Sunnyvale’s Ann Marie Cody continues on her Guinness Book of World Record pace during Sunday’s 36th annual Wildflower Run in Morgan Hill. Cody was crowned the ‘Fastest 10K Pushing a Triple Pram (Female)’ titleholder with a time of 47:10.

World record stroll CODY SETS TRIPLE PRAM 10K MARK AT 2019 WILDFLOWER Scott Forstner Reporter

If running a 10K race wasn’t challenging enough, 37-year-old Sunnyvale resident Ann Marie Cody brought along her 2-yearold triplets for Sunday’s 36th annual Wildflower Run. Pushing a triple stroller, with her three co-pilots (two boys and a girl), Cody set a new Guinness Book world record by completing

the 6.2-mile course in 47 minutes, 10 seconds.

“I had two people running with me as witnesses, and we discussed time and pace throughout the race. It was pretty clear early on that I was well ahead of the record pace,” said Cody, now the “Fastest 10K Pushing a Triple Pram (Female)” titleholder.

Cody—who is also the world record holder for the Triple Pram Marathon (4:06.33 in March 2018 in Modesto) and one-time Half-Marathon world record holder (1:46:10 in April 2018 in San Jose)—shattered the

previous mark of 49:17 set by Julie Dinardo on Aug. 26, 2018 at the Fierce Running Festival 10K in Rhode Island.

“It’s very hard to find races that will take us,” said Cody, an astronomer with NASA. “Morgan Hill was our only option. They really embraced our effort and were extremely supportive. It was an awesome experience all around. We are really fond of the Wildflower now.”

Cody—running in her first competitive race in a year— bested her 30-39 age division and was the third fastest female and 28th overall at the annual

American Association of University Women-Morgan Hill chapter’s fundraising run.

To make her world record time official, Cody contacted Guinness prior to the race and was given clearance to go for the 10K mark.

“Initially, I thought I’d be the first to do it, but a woman in Rhode Island beat me to it,” said Cody, whose initial goal was to eclipse the 50-minute mark until learning of Dinardo’s record pace. “That was my new goal, to break her number.”

Helping families get off the streets PROGRAM PROMOTES HOUSING OPTIONS Jaqueline McCool Reporter

Faced with soaring numbers of people who are homeless on city streets and in commercial parking lots, Morgan Hill continues to experiment with ways to get people off of the streets into transitional and temporary housing.

Some homeless individuals and families live in cars, vans or recreational vehicles on city streets or shopping center parking lots. The Focus program, organized by the Gilroy Compassion Center and hosted by the Morgan Hill Bible Church, offers a safe place to park these fourwheel homes.

The 2017 Santa Clara County homelessness census reported an almost fivefold increase in homelessness in Morgan Hill in just two years, from 81

homeless people to 388.

Founded in July 2017, the Focus program originally received funding from the Morgan Hill Police Department for a 13-week pilot program. One year later, Focus received $30,000 each year for two years from the Morgan Hill City Council, enough money for the program to be funded through 2020.

The idea for a car park program came when the Interfaith Community of South County was

attempting to put together a shelter program of its own. A partnership with the Compassion Center emerged, and a car park program was seen as the most viable and helpful option. Janessa Villarruel is the caseworker in her second year of running the Focus program.

Morgan Hill Housing Manager Rebecca Garcia has been the city’s liaison for the program. She said when it is time to fund the program, the council will be presented with a staff

report and recommendations based on the program’s success.

For now, Garcia believes Focus has had positive outcomes. “I think it’s been wonderful, and really a lot of it is attributed to the faith-based community,” said Garcia.

She told the Times that the city hopes to explore other ways to get people sheltered, including opening a cold weather shelter in Morgan Hill. Garcia ➝ Focus, 14

Students celebrate Chavez Day BILINGUAL SCHOOL CHEERS FAMILY OF LATE CIVIL RIGHTS, LABOR ICON, CESAR CHAVEZ Staff Report

Barry Holtzclaw

SI, SE PUEDE! Students at the San Martin/Gwinn School cheer speakers at Cesar Chavez Day rally.

The nearly 700 students and staff at San Martin/Gwinn K-8 school got some surprise visitors at their annual school-wide celebration of Cesar Chavez Day, a couple days early on March 29. The school walkways and recess playground were decorated with the red and black flags of the United Farmworkers, founded by Chavez 57 years ago For these San Martin students, the day was about family.

Claudia Olaciregui, principal of the dual-language Spanish/English school in San Martin, stood in front of a large photo of Chavez and his movement’s slogan, “Si, Se Puede!” (Yes, We Can!) and introduced Chavez’ daughter Sylvia Delgado, granddaughter Monica, and grandson Anthony Chavez. Monica’s husband, Jose Anaya, is a teacher at Gwinn, and their son— the legendary civil rights leader’s great-grandson—is a student at the school.After musical serenades, the cheering youngsters heard a stirring speech from Anthony Chavez, who spoke of the inspiration of his grandfather, and his commitment to justice and nonviolence.

Cesar Chavez Day, March 31, became a federal commemorative holiday and California state holiday in 2014. Cesar Chavez died in 1993.

Woman tries to rob store at gunpoint POLICE RELEASE DESCRIPTION OF SUSPECT Staff report

A woman tried to rob a Morgan Hill Starbucks by pointing a handgun at a

store employee through the drive-thru window, according to police.

At about 6am on March 29, police responded to the coffee shop at 1041 Cochrane Road on a report of an attempted robbery, according Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Bill Norman. When officers

arrived, they made contact with the witness, who was working at the store at the time of the incident, and confirmed an armed suspect had just tried to rob the business.

A woman had approached the coffee shop’s drive-thru window and placed an order,

police said. The woman then drove forward to the pickup window and demanded the cashier give her money. The suspect removed a black semiautomatic handgun from her waist area and pointed it at the female cashier.

The victim was able to

step back from the window into the interior of the store, away from the suspect outside, police said. The suspect then drove away, without stealing anything, in a silver or gold Honda SUV. The suspect was described as a Hispanic female adult, medium

build, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a red baseball cap, according to police. She had a double piercing above her left eye and a mole or tattoo under her right eye.

Anyone with information about this incident can call Norman at (669) 253-4982.

District explores new marching band class

DEBIT

Morgan Hill school leaders continue to move forward with a plan to allow high school marching band members to receive physical education course credits for their participation in the new class.

After several sessions on the topic and approval from the Secondary Curriculum Council, the school board was expected to vote on adding the new course, PE/Marching Band, at its April 2 meeting. (The Times’ deadline came prior to Tuesday’s vote.)

The year-long class, which offers five credits in both visual and performing arts and physical education, was developed by band directors Jason Locsin of Live Oak High School and Greg Chambers of Ann Sobrato High School.

“We had a robust discussion about the best way to meet the needs of our students,” said Board President Mary Patterson following a March 26 board meeting that included discussion among trustees, district staff, parents and music teachers.

The PE/Marching Band course will be offered to upperclassmen who have already completed one full year of a traditional PE class as freshmen at either high school.

District staff recommended the approval of a two-year pilot program for the PE/Marching Band course through the 2020-21 school year.

They also noted that the new course “will not result in a reduction of PE staff.”

The concept was bandied about for some time at past school board meetings, with parents asking the district to consider the option. Marching band members put in extended hours after school is over and can often be heard on campus practicing into the evening.

New courses are developed and submitted for consideration to add to the course inventory from time to time, according to staff. Such courses are in response to student needs and interests or to changes in state frameworks, graduation requirements or collegecareer readiness goals.

New course concepts may originate in various stakeholder groups, but they are developed and reviewed by teachers through the secondary

curriculum council process, according to staff.

That process includes discussion at the site leadership level, review by council members and a one-week advisory balloting process during which council members are encouraged to seek the input and guidance of their constituents.

Courses with favorable recommendations are further reviewed by Educational Services to prepare a recommendation to the governing board.

“PE/Marching Band offers a unique opportunity to study the potential challenges and opportunities of alternatives to traditional physical education instruction,” the staff report reads. “Music is unique as our two current band instructors will hold physical education credentials, band is already offered in the schedule, and students experience a high level of physical activity.”

The PE/Marching Band course was one of two new courses voted on by the school board April 2. The other was advanced video production, a Career Technical Education class developed by William Row at Live Oak High School.

Full course descriptions can be reviewed at mhusd.org.

We had a robust discussion about the best way to meet the needs of our students.

OPINION GUEST VIEW ROBIN SHEPHERD

Film festival a source of cultural vitality

OUR VIEW

Unshackle Measure A

I

n 2016, county voters overwhelmingly agreed to tax themselves and spend $950 million to address the housing crisis and shelter more than 5,000 homeless persons.

A year later, developers showed up for a November 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting to receive project approvals but were mugged instead. Officials surprised homebuilders with an 11th hour requirement that they sign over their properties. “Just, I think, about 45 minutes ago, I agreed to deed over the land to the county for Leigh Avenue,” First Community Housing CEO Geoffrey Morgan said to nervous laughter.

“We learned shortly before the meeting today of the county’s desire to purchase the land,” Cupertino planner Kerri Heusler told the board, adding that the city’s 19 affordable units were financed and on a “tight timeline.”

Somos Mayfair’s Gabriel Hernandez said he was “a little anxious in terms of the development of the Quetzal Gardens Housing Project. We were hoping to have this pass through today, and I’m just wondering why there’s going to be a delay in that. I’m going to have to go back to the families that we’ve been working with and try and explain to them that they’re working out some kind of thing around what we call security interest vs. equity interest and ownership.”

Supervisor Cindy Chavez announced from the podium that she would vote down the housing unless the county held title to the lands. That bullying move certainly wasn’t part of the Measure A language approved by voters. We’re pretty sure they wanted to get as many homeless and mentally ill people out of tents and off the streets—as quickly as possible. Supervisors Joe Simitian and Mike Wasserman buckled to the political hardball and withdrew their doomed approval motion.

As the projects lurch forward and the housing crisis worsens, supervisors need to make sure the public gets its billion dollars’ worth and that our elected officials maximize

the number of roofs over people’s heads. Do we need to wait until another local woman is raped by a tent dweller to realize that mental health and supportive services are needed now, not years in the future?

Attaching conditions to make it harder to build housing just complicates things.

The county has already unnecessarily spent $12 million to buy the dirt underneath four projects, including Gilroy’s Gateway Senior Apartments and Morgan Hill’s The Crossings on Monterey, and lease it back for $1 a year. That’s not money well spent, and is inconsistent with the will of the voters.

The county needs to make more deals happen and gain as much leverage as possible on the voter-approved funds. That means forgoing socialist land ownership ideals and supporting inclusionary units in mixed housing projects, rather than just segregating people with severe social problems in homogenized projects that impact neighborhoods.

It also means allowing project-based vouchers (PBVs) to be applied to a broader range of affordable housing options, including housing for teachers, public safety workers and other vital members of the workforce.

With independent Susan Ellenberg now on the Board of Supervisors, a back-scratching majority no longer dominates. It’s time for lone Republican Wasserman, the South Valley’s sole representative, to stand up and demand fiscal responsibility with marketplace competition to get the best deals for taxpayers instead of just going with the flow.

Ensuring that the next $700 million in Measure A money attracts as broad a pool of bidders as possible—by not creating too many restrictions—will be a good test.

Micromanagement creates barriers to execution. The supes should focus instead on expanding the housing stock quickly and building as many affordable units as possible rather than getting hung up on who owns the land or gets the vouchers.

Life without the arts would be bleak indeed.

Imagine a world with no literature, music, dance, fine art, culinary events, films or festivals to celebrate traditions. It’s inconceivable, not only from a social standpoint but also from an economic one.

Historically, the arts were considered “nice to have.” Whenever budget belts tightened, the arts were first to be cut from school and community programs. However, in recent years, Californians have come to view the arts through a different lens.

California’s arts and culture industries contribute more than $186 billion to the state economy and employ 738,000 workers. It certainly moves the arts beyond “nice to have” status.

In South Valley, we enjoy a rich and resilient arts and cultural heritage. One example is the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (PJIFF).

The 15-year-old film festival thrived early on, then faded during the recession. The festival’s founder was about to close it down when a volunteer offered to help.

That volunteer was Gilroy-born filmmaker Mattie Scariot. She recognized the festival’s potential. Like any savvy entrepreneur, she shared her vision and won the support of community leaders, volunteers and local backers. In two years, Scariot and her team have transformed PJIFF into a marquis event and put South Valley on the map as an up-and-coming regional hub for film production.

PJIFF 2019 adds an extra day to accommodate more film screenings. It also adds a new venue— along with downtown Morgan Hill and Gilroy—at the Gavilan College campus. Gavilan has a thriving Digital Media Arts program with a state-of-the-art studio and technology to help students prepare for digital-age jobs.

The Holiday Inn-Express in Morgan Hill will host a record number of international filmmakers whose films were selected by the festival’s panel of jurors. The festival will also dedicate a full day to local filmmakers, and a day to young students of filmmaking from elementary school through college.

Screenings and mixers will draw locals and outside visitors to enjoy film viewing, local food and wines at downtown venues including the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, and Golden State Brew & Grill and Capos in Gilroy.

Thanks to strong community and social media campaigning, the festival is enjoying increased visibility and geographic reach. Scariot expects this year’s attendance to top 3,000.

In the run-up to PJIFF 2019, organizers partnered with CMAP, YMCA Silicon Valley, Morgan Hill Historical Society, and the Morgan Hill and Gilroy Libraries to produce a series of guided workshops designed for four groups—youth, millennials, the 40-plus crowd and people 70 and older. Each group learned to create a short film start to finish. Scariot is passionate about these workshops as a way to connect the South Valley community with the world of films and filmmaking.

The festival, a 501c3 nonprofit, needs community support to achieve continued growth and success, which in turn, will contribute to the economic vitality of our region.

According to Scariot, “Film and digital media arts play a central role in society, helping us to share stories that need to be shared, from equity for women to social justice for immigrants. To independent artists, PJIFF provides encouragement to find your voice through film.”

Robin Shepherd is a journalist and filmmaker based in Morgan Hill. She is a former board member and current marketing committee volunteer with the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival. To learn more about PJIFF 2019 or order festival tickets, visit pjiff.org or follow the festival on Facebook.

Gilroy and Morgan Hill clinics stay open COURTAPPROVAL OF $1.27M SALE ALLOWS TRANSITION, AS UNION WORKERS ARE LAID OFF Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Michael Moore

Healthcare clinics in Gilroy and Morgan Hill whose status had been jeopardized by bankruptcy proceedings opened under new ownership April 1.

Gilroy Primary Care, at 9360 No Name Uno, and Morgan Hill Medical Associates, at 18550 De Paul Drive, opened on schedule Monday, owned and operated by Silicon Valley Medical Development, a subsidiary of El Camino Hospital in Mountain View.

The two clinics were among five in the Bay Area purchased by Silicon Valley Medical Development from Verity Health Systems. The $1.27 million deal was approved March 27 in US Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles.

Silicon Valley Medical Development president Bruce Harrison announced that the new clinics will continue to be affiliated with physicians in the San Jose Medical Group, under a new professional services agreement with his company.

“All appointments currently scheduled will be honored, and new appointments can be scheduled by calling the same phone numbers as

before. We look forward to welcoming patients to San Jose Medical Group, affiliated with Silicon Valley Medical Development.

“San Jose Medical Group physicians serve an important community need,” Harrison added, “and we are honored to work with them to quickly open and make this transition as seamless as possible for their patients.”

The other clinics are located in San Jose at 625 Lincoln Ave., 2585 Samaritan Drive and 227 N. Jackson Ave. “In the near future, the community can expect to see service enhancements, new technology and other improvements at these sites,” Harrison said in a press release last week.

The court’s approval just before the deadline of the purchase agreement had sent the new owners scrambling to open the clinics without an interruption in healthcare services.

“Now that SVMD received approval, it can provide staff with employment offers,” the new owners said in a statement.

“Initially positions will be filled through a combination of direct employment and contracted agencies. Patients previously served by San Jose Medical Group physicians will be contacted to ensure their health care needs are being met appropriately.”

“We are pleased to have a new home where we can continue to see our patients and meet their needs,” said Dr. Shabnam Husain, M.D., chair of the physicians’ group. “We commend

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP Morgan Hill Medical Associates staff members Olivia, Kay and Yesenia

(no last names offered) are pictured behind the front desk of the office at 18550 De Paul Drive April 2.

SVMD’s foresight and commitment to the local community (to) keep our physician group intact and open these clinics in such short order. It was a huge undertaking and an effort for which we are thankful and that will serve our community well for years to come.”

Of the 180 employees at the clinics who are members of the Service

Employees InternationalUnited Healthcare Workers West union—10 at the Gilroy and Morgan Hill clinics—only 16 are being retained by the El Camino Healthcare District, the union said in a statement last week.

“It’s reprehensible that the district would let go quality employees who built trust among patients and have been caring for

them, in some cases, as long as three decades,” the union said.

On March 26, healthcare workers filed a ballot initiative for the November 2020 election to ensure voters have a say in the El Camino Healthcare District’s expansion plans, including its $1.27 million purchase of the five clinics outside district boundaries.

The El Camino

Healthcare District includes most of Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills; a large portion of Sunnyvale; and small sections of Cupertino, Santa Clara and Palo Alto. It is governed by a publicly elected or appointed board of five members.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

City to fight weeds without chemicals TRIAL AT PARADISE PARK CONTINUES, AS CONTROVERSY ABOUT CANCER RISKS GROWS Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

Michael Moore

As lawsuits are piling up against the makers of the herbicide Roundup and some cities and counties in California are banning its use, the City of Morgan Hill continues to use a generic version on a limited basis in city parks.

Public Services Director Chris Ghione, in response to questions from the Times, said he is confident that the city uses the herbicide sparingly and in a safe manner in accordance with strict government safety standards.

“The city is changing its approach to pesticide use on an ongoing basis to ensure safety,” he said.

Ghione said Morgan Hill recently started a pilot program at one park site, “eliminating the use of herbicides completely.”

“This park is a trial site to assess the possibility and costs related to eliminating the use of herbicides in the future,” he said. The trial is in its second year at Paradise Park on LaCrosse Drive.

At other locations, the city applies Ranger Pro herbicide, which contains the controversial chemical glyphosate, in city parks, rights-of-way and utility stations twice a year, but never in or near waterways.

The state of California and

the World Health Organization have listed glyphosate among chemicals that are “possibly carcinogenic.”

Morgan Hill also is in the process of reviewing and will begin testing alternate pesticides that do not contain glyphosate for effectiveness, said Ghione.

The city for six years has posted notices of herbicide use 72 hours in advance of any application, and the signs stay in place at least 24 hours after pesticide applications, Ghione said, adding, “The city follows all federal, state and Santa Clara County guidelines and regulations and city staff utilize all personal protective equipment and follow all procedures outlined for each pesticide.”

Morgan Hill has two permits for pesticide application registered with the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture, said Ghione.

“We follow all label instructions, post notifications in parks prior to application, leave the notifications in place for a minimum of 24 hours after completing the application (meeting school requirements and going beyond requirements for parks), and document all chemical mixtures and usage as required by federal, state and local laws, as well as following the City of Morgan Hill Integrated Pest Management System,” Ghione said in a statement.

All crews that apply pesticides in Morgan Hill are overseen by a maintenance worker on site with a valid California Pesticide

PARADISE PARK Toddlers from Nicole Isaacson’s (pictured in back) neighborhood home daycare play at Paradise Park on LaCrosse Drive the morning of April 2. Isaacson said she and her students visit the park frequently. She was pleased to hear the park is the site of a pilot program conducted by the City of Morgan Hill to phase out harmful chemical pesticides such as Roundup.

Qualified Applicators Certificate, and all pesticide mixing is performed by a crew member properly trained and in possession of a valid certificate, he said.

He said the city also uses Dimension Ultra (dithiopyr), Milestone (triisopranolammonium salt), Capstone (aminopyralid; Triclopyr) and Clearcast (ammonium salt of imazamox 2) herbicides on some city-owned property.

Use of Roundup and other glyphosate products has become increasingly controversial, especially in California. In the wake of a second successful lawsuit

against Bayer, owner of Roundup-maker Monsanto, last month the city of Napa and Los Angeles County banned use of Roundup and its active herbicide, glyphosate. On the Central Coast, the San Lorenzo Valley Water District last month banned use of glyphosate by its staff on its large mountain watershed.

Use of the herbicide is widespread by CalTrans, school districts and cities, and it’s readily available in hardware and garden retail stores in California, despite the state’s 2017 determination that the herbicide

can cause cancer. California continues to license and approve its use under strict guidelines. California was the first state in the US to list glyphosate as a carcinogen.

Proposition 65, approved

by California voters in 1986, requires the state to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weed killer. Monsanto’s Roundup was the first glyphosatebased weed killer but is no longer patent-protected, and many other versions are now sold.

The US Environmental Protection Agency, the European Chemicals Agency and other regulators have found that glyphosate is not likely carcinogenic to humans. But the World Health Organization’s cancer arm in 2015 reached a different conclusion, classifying glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

The most recent case was only the second of some 11,200 Roundup lawsuits to go to trial in the US. The city keeps some public records of all herbicide and pesticide use, as required by the state.

While the triplets do tend to fall asleep at some point during their runs (more so when they were younger), they were wide awake for Morgan Hill’s Wildflower Run. “They did not (sleep). Now that they are 2, they nap in the afternoon,” Cody said. “They just enjoyed the scenery, looked at the cars and people, felt the breeze and enjoyed themselves.”

Maxi Corrales claimed the 2019 Wildflower 10K overall crown with a time of 35:13, while Kristin Boone of Los Gatos was the fastest female with a time of 45:12.

In the 5K race, Ken Meager bested the field in 19:22, with Gilroy’s Kari Anne Bertand winning the women’s 5K title by completing the 3.1-mile challenge in 19:56.

Need grows for housing options ➝ Focus, 1

Jaqueline McCool

said city staff is looking into the possibility of a cold weather shelter.

There are two homeless shelters in the South County, both in Gilroy; the Armory and the St. Joseph’s family shelter. The Armory’s operation is funded by Santa Clara County.

The Focus program offers eight spaces for families and singles who pass a rigorous application process in order to park their cars nightly. Villarruel did not want to reveal the address of the site, fearing it would attract people looking for a one-night place to park.

Applicants fill out a four-page document with information and personal history that helps the caseworkers see if the family or individual will be a good fit. Villarruel said applicants are required to have their own vehicles and a valid driver’s license and have to be able to commit to working with a caseworker.

The caseworkers help find career training for the participants, as well as pathways to semi-permanent or permanent housing opportunities. Not every participant is successful in the program.

Villarruel said about a third of participants have left the program and gone into temporary housing, while the same number have left because they no longer wanted to be involved. According to Villarruel, about 40 people have participated in the program since 2017.

EARLY MORNINGS Janessa Villarruel in front of the two trailers donated to the Morgan Hill Bible Church

and used for the program. All other vehicles must be gone by 8am.

Every Friday, participants gather in the makeshift mess hall at the program site. There are games for the kids, a microwave, a washer and dryer and two showers. Villarruel said this is a time for the participants and caseworkers to debrief over dinner and talk about any problems that are arising in their community. The Friday date was chosen, Villarruel said, because

it’s the only day a free dinner is not available somewhere else in the South County.

Nancy Lee has been a volunteer with Focus since the program’s inception; she learned of the opportunity through her church, Advent Lutheran Church.

“For me it’s really understanding and getting to know them. I’ve never been involved in anything like this before,” said Lee. “A

simple act of kindness can go a long way.”

If the need for the program can be measured by the number of applicants, there is an obvious need in the South County. Villarruel said for this year alone, Focus has received about 30 applications; Morgan Hill applicants get first priority.

In an ideal world, Villarruel said she would love to have multiple program sites—the current site for

families, plus one for single men and one for single women. Villarruel believes the South County could benefit from more services like Focus. She said that Gilroy city officials have not been as open to such a program as Morgan Hill has been.

“When you’re in your car, you still have a level of privacy,” said Villarruel.

Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco did not respond to the Dispatch’s request for

comment on the possibility of a similar car park program for homeless individuals or families in Gilroy.

The 2017 county homelessness survey found that Gilroy’s homeless population was 722, nearly double the population measured in Morgan Hill. A new census was taken in the beginning of 2019, the results of which have not yet been compiled and published.

LIVING THE DREAM Morgan Hill resident Ryan Stenn, right, is the Director of Team Services for the San Jose Sharks. The 36-year-old Stenn, a

Mitty High and San Jose State graduate, has myriad responsibilities, but most notably this: He helps the team get from one location to another without fail.

LOCAL PROFILE

The Sharks’ point man MORGAN HILL RESIDENT RYAN STENN HELPS GET THE TEAM FROM CITY TO CITY AND MORE emanuel lee Sports Editor

Submitted

When he was a junior at San Jose State University, Ryan Stenn knew he wanted to be involved in professional sports. So he applied for an intern position with the San Jose Sharks, not knowing if anything was available. For six months, Stenn fired off an email at least once a month to let the powers that be know he was serious about the position. Stenn’s persistence paid off, as he eventually got an intern position with the Sharks in 2003.

“I think that’s what it took me to get in, that I kind of showed I would do whatever they needed me to do and I would get after it,” said Stenn, a Morgan Hill resident who with the exception of the NHL lockout season in 2004-2005 has worked in the Sharks organization since 2003.

“I kind of carved my way in.”

Stenn, who is the Director of Team Services, has several roles, most notably this: He helps get the team where it needs to be, which, when it comes to a professional sports franchise, involves a high attention to detail, planning and organization. Stenn is responsible for flight arrangements, bus transportation from the airport to the hotel, scheduling a rink for ice time/practices, meals, hotel lodging, and pretty much anything that involves the team going from one place to another, he’s got his hands all over it.

If that sounds like a lot, well, it is. However, the 36-year-old Stenn is meticulous in his preparation and checklists, lessening the effects of what could be a very stressful job.

“I have my checks and balances in place,” he said. “I double and triple check everything. I’m already a paranoid guy as it is, so I make sure 10 times over that things are set. I’m always in contact with the hotel and the bus from the city where the team is leaving from, and it’s overcommunication, basically. It can be stressful if you don’t stay on top of things.”

To stay on top, Stenn plans things far in advance. When the upcoming NHL schedules come out—usually in midJuly—Stenn gets to work. He analyzes the schedule and starts booking hotels for the entire season. Then he works on the bus arrangements, then the ice time and by July he’ll have every single day of the regular season mapped out from September until April. Things like the hotel rooming list is arranged a couple of weeks before the team’s stay at a particular location. Stenn also works on arranging the player per diems.

“I hardly know who is playing; I’m mainly focusing on what the next trip is and the trip after that,” he said. “I’m just trying to stay ahead of everything.”

Stenn also sends out a group text to everyone on the team and the hockey staff in regards to the next day’s warm-up, meetings and skate times. In the morning, he updates the standings on the board so everyone knows what happened the night before.

Stenn also sends out a prospect report every morning detailing what they did the night before.

Has Stenn always been the organized type?

“I would say so, but maybe my parents don’t agree,” Stenn said with a smile. “I’m organized, especially when it comes to a business check list.

I’ve definitely figured out that having a checklist is the No. 1 thing to have. You have to know everything and highlight when you’re done with it. Multitasking is a huge thing because I have a few things going on at once, but it’s never out of sync.”

In other words, even though

SELECTION DAY Ryan Stenn is on location at the NHL Draft with his fellow Sharks’ team members.

Stenn is doing multiple tasks at once, he has it organized that those tasks are related to one another, making for efficient work. Even though things can go wrong on a moment’s notice—the team’s plane getting diverted at the last minute due to inclement weather, for instance—Stenn has made sure to leave no stone unturned. By constantly communicating with all of the parties involved and having backup plans, the Sharks get to the places where they need to be, often with little turbulence—no pun intended. That’s a credit to Stenn and the people who make up the staff that is responsible for getting the team from one destination to another with as little issues as possible.

“It’s been a fairly smooth year,” Stenn said.

A 2000 Mitty High graduate, Stenn played baseball there and at San Jose City College. Playing community college baseball was a chance to extend the dream of playing professionally.

“Once I realized I wasn’t going to be a pro baseball player,

I had to think about what I wanted to do in my life,” he said.

“I spent a couple of years at San Jose City to keep the dream alive as long as I could.”

Stenn has been living in Morgan Hill for four years. He has a wife, Jennifer, and they have two kids: R.J., who is 6 years old, and Gia, who is 4 years old. Ryan and Jennifer will be celebrating their 10-year anniversary in August, and they’ve had a wonderful time living in Morgan Hill.

“We love Morgan Hill,” Ryan said. “It’s been great.”

Even though Stenn loves his job, it’s always tough when he goes on the road with the team, especially for up to a week or more at a time. He misses his family, and yet they all know it’s part of the job and comes with the territory. When Stenn does return from a road trip, it makes family time that much more enjoyable.

“My wife has been amazing and is just a rock,” Stenn said.

“And our kids are at great ages now. They play with each other and all R.J. wants to do is play

baseball or hockey. Gia is into softball and gymnastics.”

In the 2004-2005 NHL lockout season, Stenn worked doing public relations for the now defunct San Jose Stealth lacrosse team. When the NHL returned to action the following year, he earned a job writing stories for and updating the Sharks’ website before landing his current position a year later. Stenn said it’s been a great experience being a part of the Sharks organization, which is known for its stability and employee satisfaction.

Simply put, the team depends on Stenn, and he works behind the scenes to get the job done.

“I’ve always been a part of a team, whether it’s in baseball or something else, and it’s special to be a part of this team,” he said.

“When you’re in the locker room and interact with members of the team and they depend on me for certain things, I know my role and I want to do it well. I’ve been fortunate that the Sharks have only missed the playoffs once in 15 years. That’s not normal, so it’s really a great situation to be a part of.”

Gilroy-Morgan Hill NJB win titles PROGRAM’S SIXTHAND EIGHTH GRADE TEAMS TAKE HOME CHAMPIONSHIPS IN NATIONAL TOURNEY emanuel lee Sports Editor

Submitted

For the first time in Gilroy/ Morgan Hill National Junior Basketball (NJB) program history, two of its teams placed first in the AllNet National Tournament in Los Angeles on March 9-10. The Gilroy/Morgan Hill eighth-grade boys and sixth-grade boys teams— both coached by chapter director Joe Lampkin— combined to go 10-0 in the national tournament, which featured squads throughout California.

“We’ve won this in the past, but we’ve never won two championships in the same tournament,” Lampkin said. “We had all kinds of heroics happen, so give credit to the kids for playing well and rallying at the right time.”

The All-Net division is the higher level in NJB’s hierarchy, and the teams travel locally to compete every weekend. The two Gilroy/Morgan Hill teams both were runner-ups in their respective Sectional Tournaments, with the eighth graders dropping a 66-61 decision to Redwood City-Sequoia, while the sixth graders lost a 66-64 heartbreaker to Willow Glen on the same day.

Lampkin said it was a devastating day for the program; however, not all was lost as the two teams by virtue of making it to the Sectional title game,

advanced to the national tournament. Once in Los Angeles, neither team could be stopped. And that was bad news for the teams that defeated Gilroy/Morgan Hill in the Sectional Tournament.

Gilroy/Morgan Hill faced them again, and this time the results would be different.

The eighth graders pulled away from Sequoia 69-56, and the sixth graders did likewise against Willow Glen, 48-41. The eighth grade roster includes James Allred, Kal Chak, Dominic Pereira, Kenny Harper, Christian Kjellesvig, Charlie Kosta, Ethan Marmie, Tim McCain, Chigozie Okeke, and Adam Saenz.

The sixth grade roster includes Matt Anderson, Tyler Green, Sam Guenther, Jacob Huerta, Braddock Kjellesvig, Ebuka Okeke, Jaxen Robinson, Rico Maturino, Reece McKeever, and Nishikawa Bennett.

Lampkin said the eighth graders found their groove once they switched from their traditional set plays to a different style that focused on defense and fast breaks.

Marmie and Kjellesvig, who played off the bench for parts of the season, found themselves starting in the semifinals and finals.

“Ethan was a defense monster and hit key shots, while Christian’s rejuvenated basketball awareness kept him finding the ball as he repeatedly shot for points or dropped dime after dime to teammates,” Lampkin said in an email to the Dispatch. “Ken Harper pulled rebounds out of the

CHAMPIONS The Gilroy-Morgan Hill NJB All-Net eighth-grade basketball team won a NJB national tournament on March

10 in Los Angeles. The program’s sixth-grade team was also victorious, as both squads avenged losses in the Sectional Tourney.

clouds—wow, can that kid jump—and key newcomer Dominic Pereira hit three 3s in a row to (help the team) pull away in the championship game.”

The duo ofSaenz and Kosta provided tough play, while McCane and Allred provided a powerful and imposing frontcourt presence.

Okeke was simply outstanding and the premier player in perhaps the entire tournament.

The sixth graders were equally impressive in their title rematch with Willow Glen. Gilroy/Morgan Hill had lost to Willow Glen two weeks earlier in the Sectional Tournament final, 62-46. The result would be different in the rematch. Led by Anderson,

Robinson and Kjellesvig— the trio converted a number of putbacks and connected on the free throws at the end to pad the margin of the final score—the sixth graders would not be denied.

The team’s point guard, Huerta, spearheaded the team with precision and playmaking ability that proved to be too tough for anyone guarding him.

Lampkin rejoiced in the national tournament run, as the program had to overcome a different type of adversity than in years past. He made particular note of seeing the reactions of the sixth graders as they cheered each play and stayed into the game from beginning to end.

Department of Toxic Substances Control

“I care for all 20 players,” Lampkin said. “I coach them like they are my nephews, as most of them have been with me since they were in the fifth grade.”

Chigozie Okeke, whom Lampkin said was “my Kobe, my Jordan, my LeBron,” averaged 15 to 20 points per game and has been playing in the program for four years.

Okeke has a strong allaround skill set.

“I like to say I can do a little bit of everything,” he said. “Assist, rebound, steals, points, blocks. And I’m kind of like the team leader.”

Okeke said besides winning the title, another highlight was the team’s third game in which the team scored 90 points in

a 34-point blowout victory over Whittier. After losing to Sequoia in the Sectional Finals, Gilroy/Morgan Hill got payback.

“We came out with a vengeance,” Okeke said.

“We wanted to beat them for what they did to us. The difference was a lot more energy around the team and it showed in the way we played on the court.”

Okeke, whose first name means God Bless in Nigerian, credited Lampkin for being a coach who could motivate and teach him basketball skills.

“Playing for coach Joe has been really good,” Okeke said. “He’s been teaching me new skills and new concepts that I’ve never been taught before or known before.”

Public Notice

The mission of DTSC is to protect California’s people and environment from harmful effects of toxic substances by restoring contaminated resources, enforcing hazardous waste laws, reducing hazardous waste generation, and encouraging the manufacture of chemically safer products.

Proposed Draft Permit Modification United Technologies Corporation, Pratt & Whitney (UTC) 600 Metcalf Road, San Jose, California 95138

Public Comment Period: April 9, 2019 – May 24, 2019 WHAT’S BEING PROPOSED? The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) invites you to review and comment on a draft Class 3 Permit Modification of the Hazardous Waste Facility Post-Closure Permit (the Post-Closure Permit) for United Technologies Corporation, Pratt & Whitney (UTC), located at 600 Metcalf Road, San Jose, California 95138. The PostClosure Permit requires annual sampling of monitoring wells due to contamination (volatile organic compounds and perchlorate) left at the site from former testing of space and propulsion systems. This Permit Modification proposes to transfer the western 1,514 acres of the property (Coyote Ridge Parcel) to the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency to be maintained as a natural preserve. The Coyote Ridge Parcel is comprised of several steep canyons of open space west of the formerly active portion of the UTC facility. If approved, the Coyote Ridge Parcel would be removed from the permitted facility boundary since post-closure care is not required.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? The public comment period for the proposed Permit Modification will run from April 9, 2019 to May 24, 2019. Please send written comments no later than May 24, 2019 to Joanna Louie, DTSC Project Manager, 700 Heinz Avenue, Berkeley, California 94710 or Joanna.Louie@dtsc.ca.gov. Call (510) 540-3957 if you have any questions.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA): Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), DTSC must evaluate whether the draft Permit Modification may have any significant impacts on human health and the environment. As part of this evaluation, DTSC has reviewed the Class 3 Post-Closure Permit Modification request and proposed a Notice of Exemption (NOE). The NOE concludes that approval of the draft Permit would not result in any impact to human health and the environment.

WHERE DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The draft Permit Modification, CEQA NOE, and Statement of Basis can be viewed at the repository located at the Evergreen Branch Library, 2635 Aborn Road, San Jose, CA 95121, (408) 808-3060.
