“When I first started out, we were Quickbookscentric....Then, my clients asked, since you’re doing my books, can you do my taxes?,” said Daggett, who took that bit of advice to heart and went out and got her tax preparation license. “I love numbers. I love taking a client’s chaos and creating order.”

A wave of emotions flooded the Sept. 27 city council meeting as the elected officials along with a packed house of city staff, representatives of numerous community organizations and Morgan Hill residents welcomed the new city manager, and said goodbye to her predecessor.

The Sept. 27 council meeting was Christina Turner’s first as City Hall’s top staff person, and Steve Rymer’s last in Christina Turner Morgan Hill after serving the city for the last 11 years.

Before the five-member council unanimously appointed Turner to the city manager post with a contract that includes a $230,000 salary, Rymer bid a tearful goodbye and many thank you’s to the council, city staff and the Morgan Hill community.

Rymer, 47, who is headed to Rochester, Minn. to begin a new job as city administrator there, thanked the council— and former councilmembers Gordon Siebert and Marilyn Librers—for their “confidence and support” in him as city manager since he was appointed in 2013. He thanked the community that “has come

The 75 or so audience members who packed the Morgan Hill Library conference room heard some staggering statistics from expert panelists—including the fact that more than 650 students in Morgan Hill public schools are homeless, and there is a 1 percent vacancy rate in the city’s stock of affordable housing.

The panelists also discussed what is being done

to reduce the number of homeless, what support services are available for those without homes and how the audience and other members of the public can help.

MHUSD challenges accuracy of state test 2017 RESULTS SHOW SLIGHT DECLINE AMONG LOCAL STUDENTS Scott Forstner Reporter

Morgan Hill Unified School District showed a slight decline in state student test scores this year and maintained a cavernous achievement gap between Hispanic students and their classmates based on the 2017 Smarter Balanced Assessment Results released last week.

However, one local school district official thinks there is something seriously wrong with the state’s testing system, and claims the scores are inaccurate. Glen Webb, MHUSD’s Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, said he has “concerns over the functionality of the tests” and that a nationwide trend in which the same exams are given proves his point.

“The decline in SBAC scores across the nation is statistically improbable, and should be a red flag to all districts,” Webb said in a MHUSD press release titled “...Test Scores Marred by Questions of Test Functionality” dated Sept. 27. “It suggests that the measurement tool (the SBAC test itself) is not functioning properly.”

His argument relies on his own analysis of test scores across several states that use either the SBAC or another similar testing system. Webb posed questions from his findings to education assessment experts who supported further analysis of the SBAC tests.

State Superintendent Tom Torlakson described the latest tests as “far more rigorous and realistic than the previous paper and pencil tests.”

“We are asking more of our students, but for a good reason—so they are better prepared for the world of college and careers,” Torlakson said in the California Department of Education’s press release. The state did not respond to Webb’s claims when asked about them specifically.

MHUSD produces subpar scores

In Morgan Hill, the SBAC results revealed half the students in MHUSD schools, grades third through eighth and 11th, have either met or exceeded state standards in English Language Arts/

Literacy (ELA). In mathematics, nearly 40 percent of the same crop of MHUSD students met or exceeded state standards while 60 percent did not meet or nearly met that subject’s requirements.

Meanwhile, the achievement rate in both ELA and math was significantly higher among Ann Sobrato High School 11th graders who are now in their senior years. Nearly three-quarters of Sobrato students tested last year (73.69 percent) met or exceeded ELA standards while almost 50 percent met or exceeded math standards to surpass the district-wide results.

At Live Oak High School, last year’s 11th graders eclipsed the district totals in ELA with more than 56 percent meeting or exceeding standards. But the same could not be said in math, where just over 31 percent met or exceeded standards.

MHUSD’s overall scores in ELA and math, which can be viewed on the California Department of Education website (cde. ca.gov), dropped slightly from the previous year’s 52 percent at or above in ELA, and 41 percent at or above in math.

As for countywide results, 62 percent of students met or exceeded the ELA standards compared to 49 percent of students statewide. In math, 55 percent of county students met or exceeded the standards compared to 38 percent of students statewide.

When asked about the validity of the 2017 results, County Office of Education Superintendent Jon Gundry didn’t go as far Webb in challenging their accuracy in his emailed statement to the Times.

“It is the understanding of the Department of Assessment and Accountability at the Santa Clara County Office of Education that while the California Department of Education does not suspect that there are technical issues with the current scoring, a technical advisory committee will investigate the scores at an October Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Conference,” Gundry said.

Achievement gap persists

Always on educators’ radar is the achievement gap on state standardized tests between “Hispanic or Latino” students compared to their “White” and “Asian” counterparts.

As for the 2016-17 scores, that achievement gap remains glaring in districts throughout the state, according to state data.

In Morgan Hill schools, about 34 percent of all Hispanic students tested met or exceeded ELA standards compared to nearly 67 percent among White students and 80 percent among Asian students. In math, 23 percent of Hispanic students met or exceeded standards compared to nearly 57 among White students and nearly 74 percent among Asian students.

Looking at the same comparisons in countywide results: In ELA, 37 percent of Hispanic students met or exceeded standards, compared to 76 percent among White students and 83 percent among Asian students. In math, 26 percent of Hispanic students met or exceeded, compared to 69 percent among White students and 83 percent among Asian students.

Webb questions these results too, contending that data such as this needs to be broken down even further with factors such as parent education level and socioeconomic status to get a true reading of how the district is serving the different ethnic groups.

The state’s online database allows users to isolate the test scores using varying factors.

“Fortunately for MHUSD students, we don’t rely solely on the SBAC as the only assessment for student achievement,” the district’s press release states. “Using a variety of academic and social-emotional tests, we are able to better assess individual student needs and provide multi-tier programs and enrichments that better support their needs.”

What are these state tests?

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Online Tests are now in their third year of existence since replacing the former Standardized Testing and Reporting program that included the Academic Performance Index or API. The computer-based tests use California’s challenging academic standards and ask students to write clearly, think critically and solve complex problems, just as they will need to do in college and 21st century careers.

Robert Eliason

INDUSTRY LEADER AdminBooks Founder Renee Daggett has turned her Morgan Hill residence into an award-winning book-keeping and tax preparation firm.

Tax service dedicated to professional growth ➝ AdminBooks, 1

elementary education degree from San Jose State University, went to work in a small makeshift office designed by her husband in 2002. Word began to spread and the former stay-at-home mom gradually began picking up client after client. Meanwhile, her husband was busy expanding the office space little by little over the last decade. He’s converted all of the downstairs rooms into business areas, and even built an extension onto the house.

“I was a business owner previously so I know the client perspective. That’s where my heart is. I prepare their books as if they were my own. I prepare their taxes as if they were my own,” Daggett said. “I explain and educate them on their tax situation and give them options and the consequences of those options so they can be more in control.”

Hand in hand with her expanding clientele, Daggett grew her AdminBooks workforce by “investing in women who want to work with me because I can’t do it all on my own.” And just as she bettered her own position while diversifying her work skills, Daggett did the same for her employees.

“Having all smart women to help, I just couldn’t do this without them,” said Daggett, stressing AdminBooks’ workforce age diversity. One employee came in fresh out of college, another who was advancing in her career and others returning to the grind after raising a family.

Handpicked employees like AdminBooks tax

preparer Misty Wolsfeld, of Morgan Hill, a former bank manager who was looking to re-enter the workforce after leaving for eight years to raise her children. Hired as an administrative assistant four years ago, Wolsfeld “found an aptitude for doing taxes, and it just grew from there” as she also earned her tax preparation license.

“That’s happened over and over, where they come in as an administrative assistant and then get that experience in taxes and bookkeeping and climb the ladder,” Daggett said.

Staff in other states

On the bookkeeping side, manager Nikki Mulder is “the head honcho,” according to Daggett. Mulder was looking to jump from a part-time job with another firm to a fulltime gig four years ago as her kids became older.

In her current duties, she checks in with bookkeepers working in the office and in remote sites such as Idaho, Nevada and Houston.

“I think we’re a pretty positive crew here,” said Mulder, who has three children and five grandchildren. “We’re always learning new things all the time.”

That lifelong learner mindset starts at the top, according to Wolsfeld.

“Renee is always looking 12 months down the road, what processes can we improve and what can we do to get there,” said Wolsfeld, with admiration for her inspirational boss. “Renee is a really great mentor for us.

She’s really invested in furthering our education.”

Daggett’s proactive,

nurturing work ethic is turning heads and changing the landscape in the tax preparation and bookkeeping industry. She’s helping to take tax preparation into the 21st century.

The entire AdminBooks team will attend the QuickBooks Connect conference this November in San Jose, where they hope to further educate themselves on all the new technologies being offered. Daggett has already turned AdminBooks into a paperless, secure, cloud-based tax firm. “Renee is a thought leader in our industry,” Wolsfeld said. “She is leading the pack and demonstrating where accounting will go in the future.”

Daggett has given webinars on the topic (her last drawing 800 listeners); was invited to be on a panel with InTuit in November; authored a self-help book titled “Your Financial Flight Plan: Pilot Your Business to Profitability”; and kept the door open for any new opportunities to promote her brand.

The Firm of the Future contest, which is in its third year, recognizes the most forward-thinking accounting, bookkeeping and tax firms that are able to best showcase how they see the value of the cloud, use business models to better value their expertise and grow their practice with modern marketing techniques.

“A lot of tax preparers are older and getting close to retirement,” Daggett said. “I want to educate people on tax preparation and make this an attractive and fun industry for them to consider.”

OPINION LETTERS

Help is available for sexual assault victims In light of recent events, and letters defending David Wolfsmith (a 51-year-old personal trainer and former owner of a Morgan Hill gym, who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting more than a dozen female victims— one of them a child), I would like to share some thoughts, from a victim of sexual abuse as a 7-year-old.

Being a victim of such acts changes your entire life.

I suffered in silence, and felt fear, shame and guilt daily. Now I know that those feelings belong to the perpetrator of my abuse—NOT ME. It took me 25 years to speak about what happened to me as a child, and it is still not easy. I want other victims to know that it may take years, as it did for me, to realize that what happened to you was NOT your fault. There is help. Therapy has helped save my life.

GUEST VIEW ANITA R. WARNER

500 years since Reformation

O

n Oct. 31, 1517, a fairly obscure professor and monk posted theses for an academic discussion. That action— and Martin Luther’s life of writing, teaching, preaching and standing up to the emperor and pope—sparked a Reformation that changed the world.

Luther asks some of the most basic questions of human existence.

He was on a quest for the right relationship between God and people, and how to show love for others in need. This speaks to the basic universal hunger we have to find our ground of being and to find an orientation that helps us to explain, “Why am I here?” and, “Where am I going?” and that then has an impact on how we actually live in this world.

As we mark 500 years, I would like to personally invite you to any or all of three big community events this month hosted at our congregation, Advent Lutheran Church.

• Faith of Our Neighbors: Christianity in the Lutheran Tradition presentation, sponsored by the Interfaith Community of South County, 4 p.m. Oct. 15 • Reformation Hymn Festival, 5:30 p.m.

Oct. 22 • Catholic–Lutheran Common Prayer Service, 7 p.m. Oct. 30.

Luther is an example of how one can stand up on the basis of one’s faith against institutions and individuals who are hurting people. When Michael King, Sr., visited Germany in 1934, he was so inspired by how Martin Luther changed society without a call to take up arms, that he changed his name, and his son’s name, to Martin Luther King. Ideas do matter.

We will claim Luther and at the same time we will disagree with Luther. Along with my church denomination, I refute in the strongest terms Luther’s anti-Jewish writing late in his life. Luther himself was a clear example of one of his teachings: that each person is at one time both a saint and a sinner.

He was simultaneously the most loved and most hated person in the Western world. No one in history left behind a more detailed written record—130 volumes—and no one seemed to feel the need to edit him. Nearly 1 billion Protestant Christians in the world today have been influenced by him.

His influence extends far beyond the church. He unleashed new ways of thinking that profoundly shaped the secular world. For example, as a vocal advocate for the universal education of children, including girls, Luther paved the way for the now-ubiquitous public school system.

Martin Luther unleashed new ways of thinking that profoundly shaped the secular world He was the first to prove the power of the media to amplify the marketplace of ideas and to provide a check on government. He set in motion cultural changes that would lay the groundwork for democracies in the U.S. and Europe.

I joyfully participate in the life of our South County community alongside people of many faiths. In the worship, teaching and life of today’s Lutheran church, we continue to share faith and service from Luther’s insight into the grace of God in Christ Jesus as attested in the scriptures. Five hundred years later, we may well be at another hinge of history. Our time, too, requires deep theological and ethical reflection to lead to courageous living.

So many victims suffer in silence.

I want those victims to know they are NOT alone. There are others who know your pain, believe you, and will support you To those people who say things like, “He is a good man,” or, “I never saw those things happen,” that’s how abusers work. They keep up the appearance of a good upstanding citizen, while being a monster behind the disguise. That’s how they are able to keep abusing more victims.

I’m not claiming to know every detail of this particular case, but blaming the victims or saying, “They’re just in it for a payday,” is harmful to the victims who are already suffering enough.

NO amount of money can fix what’s been done to you and restore your trust in people. There is no big payday for victims of sexual assault. Many victims can’t even speak about what happened to them, let alone pursue their case legally.

So many victims suffer in silence. I want those victims to know they are NOT alone. There are others who know your pain, believe you, and will support you.

It is not an easy road; anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD— it’s all real, but if we support each other, instead of adding more pain to people already suffering, that is at least a start.

Officer recalled as loyal and tenacious MH RESIDENT DIED IN SEPT. 19 TRAFFIC ACCIDENT Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

California Highway Patrol Officer James Branik, 44, loved his family and was passionate about cars. He also loved being a CHP officer.

Last Wednesday, Branik was killed in a motorcycle accident in San Martin. James was a man of deep conviction, tenacity, loyalty, and passion for life and for those he loved.

“For most people, a job is a means to an end,” Scott Morris, Officer Branik’s brother in law said.

“For James, his work was a fulfillment of who he was created to be.”

Officer Branik was born on knowledge or wisdom to help you."

March 1, 1973, to Lawrence P. Branik was a devoted husBranik and Charlotte A. Branik. band to his wife, Gina BaizaHe was a graduate of Leigh High Branik. The couple had three School in San Jose, where he was dogs whom they adored. Morris a member of the 1991 described Officer Branik CCS championship basas a lover of animals, but ketball team. He entered the attention he paid to the California Highway his nieces and nephews Patrol Police Academy in was appreciated.

It was

so funny to see Officer Branik wearing a tiara with my daughter. He had such a rich, warm heart.”

Officer Branik met Gina in 1995 at a Mennonite youth event.

The couple went out to play pool on their first date and two years later they were married. From the mundane of life to the intimate recesses of the soul, James and Gina were inseparable.

Officer Branik was also a person who refused to give up.

“He applied to the police academy seven times; it was what he wanted to do,” Morris said. “It was hard, but he never let it get him down. It was inspiring to see someone who truly wanted something and who was not ready to accept failure. You wouldn’t have known it to talk

to him. He didn’t sit around and complain. He just kept trying.”

When off duty, Branik’s love of cars followed him him home. He worked restoring cars, including the complete restoration of a 1968 Camaro and a 1965 Ford Fairlane.

“He loved muscle cars; you could always tell when James was coming down the road,” Morris said. “From the time he was 2 years old, he was on his back watching a neighbor fix a dune buggy. He just loved cars and trucks. It was in his soul.

The fact he became a CHP officer was beautiful.”

Officer Branik was born and raised in San Jose, but moved to Morgan Hill in 2012.

“He loved being in Morgan Hill, it was his home” Morris said.

nthony Michael Malen, known as Tony to his friends, was born September 29, 1927, in Visalia, CA. Raised in California’s southern central valley in the small farming town of Alpaugh, he was the sixth child and only surviving son of immigrant parents. In the mid-1940’s, with his widowed father and sisters, the family relocated to Morgan Hill on Watsonville Road, adjacent to what was then Oak Dell Park.

Graduating from Live Oak High School in 1945, Tony went on to join the U.S. Navy and served during the Korean War. Upon his return from the Pacific, Tony met San Jose, CA native Eva Mae Georgetti. The young couple married in 1951. Together, they began their 65 year marriage in San Jose. In the late 1970’s, they relocated to Gilroy, CA to continue their lifelong love of caring for their home and gardens. Before retiring, Tony worked 38 years in customer service for Pacific Gas & Electric. In his work, he loved meeting and talking with customers.

Known for his outgoing and gentle personality, Tony was active in Veteran’s Affairs, Morgan Hill’s Historical Society and PG&E retiree functions. In retirement, he loved to play golf. Tony often told his family how much he enjoyed the friendship of his Gilroy neighbors from “down the lane.”

“Unk”, as he was lovingly referred to by family members, is survived by two of his sisters, Marie Gran of Sherwood, OR and Rose Brown of McMinnville, OR. He was predeceased by his wife, Eva, and three of his sisters: Agnes Hicks, Louise Rossi and Gretchen Rine, and an infant brother. “Unk” leaves several nieces and nephews: John Hicks, Jeannette Gran Davis, Jim Gran Jr., Cathy Gran, Roberta Rossi, Mary Ann Rossi, Patricia Heredia, Rich Rine, Steve Rine, Patrick Brown, Susanne Davis, Laure Brown, and Michael Brown. He is also survived by several great nieces and nephews and their families.

His final resting place will be beside his beloved wife, in San Jose.

Members of the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill couldn’t contain their excitement at presenting the City of Morgan Hill with the largest gift they have made since the local chapter of the nonprofit service organization was founded in 1955.

At the Sept. 27 city council meeting, the club gave the city a check for $100,000, to be spent on features for two new public parks under construction in downtown Morgan Hill.

The gift—the result of four years of fundraising—is specifically designated for a 56-foot “Rotary Slide” on the Hilltop Park at the top of West Third Street; and for a 30-foot “Rotary Peace Bridge” crossing West Little Llagas Creek, located between West Second and Third streets in the downtown Creek Park, according to Rotary Club of Morgan Hill members.

“We’re ecstatic, we are thrilled, we are jumping out of our skin because we are so happy to make a donation to you,” Rotary Club of Morgan Hill Past President Theresa Kiernan told the council as she was surrounded by her fellow club members.

The enthusiasm infected Mayor Steve Tate as well. “On behalf of the city and the council, we joyfully, and gladly, and wholeheartedly accept this donation. It’s outstanding,” Tate said upon receiving a poster-sized mockup of the $100,000 check in front of a crowded audience at the Sept. 27 meeting.

Kiernan noted the club performed “due diligence” to determine who should receive the $100,000 donation and how it should be spent.

“We decided on this project because when we looked at the benefit it would have to so many people in this community, and to people who come to this community in order to visit and support (Morgan Hill), this was the best place to land with our major gift,” Kiernan said.

Randy Toch, the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill current president, noted that the effort to raise funds for the $100,000 has spanned

SERVICE SPAN The new foot bridge over West Little

Llagas Creek in downtown Morgan Hill—between West Second and Third streets—is funded by a portion of the local Rotary Club’s $100,000 gift to the city. The bridge is part of the city’s new Creek Park, which is scheduled to be open to the public by the end of November.

the terms of four club presidents. He specifically identified club members John McKay and Jeff Perkins for their “leadership role in… dealing with the city” to identify possible ways to spend the donation.

“The new parks will change the already evolving character of downtown Morgan Hill,” Toch said in a press release. “We wanted to make a substantial contribution and create a regional attraction that would make the downtown especially vibrant for children and the young at heart.”

The city is in the process of building three new parks downtown—the Hilltop Park, the Creek Park and the Railroad Park (on Depot Street just south of the train station building).

City staff said these parks are expected to be completed and open to the public by the end of November.

The Rotary Slide will descend the eastern face of downtown’s Nob Hill, below the city’s giant green water tank, the press release continues.

The recreational slide will be built in two segments: the upper 21-foot “slower” slide, and a lower 35-foot segment that will offer faster speeds.

The Rotary Peace Bridge, just down the hill from the slide and located between a residential and a commercial property, will “ease access for people coming from the west side of Monterey Road,” the press release states. The bridge

and connected walkway will lead to a small park with benches, tables, playground features and other pathways.

The bridge is already mostly built, but not open for public use. A “Rotary International” emblem is embedded into the bridge’s walking surface.

The $100,000 gift was made possible by the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill Endowment, a nonprofit charitable organization, according to the press release.

Rotary Club of Morgan Hill is a service organization that is part of Rotary International, a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that “provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.”

Kiernan listed other ways Rotary Club of Morgan Hill has recently spent its “charitable giving” at the Sept. 27 council meeting: $35,000 for local nonprofits, $20,000 for high school students heading to college, $10,000 for literacy programs and $40,000 for “world community service projects that support women, children and seniors in places like Mexico and Nigeria” and other countries.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

OCTOBER 6, 2017

Local experts: Homelessness a challenge ➝ Homeless, 1

Affordable housing on the horizon?

Former Morgan Hill mayor (198384) Beth Wyman, also a homeless advocate, spoke briefly as well, detailing how the city handled the issue of homelessness over past decades. Wyman championed a local low-income project in the 1980s that rehabilitated dilapidated homes on Sanchez Drive in Morgan Hill and then held a lottery to fill them with qualified residents.

She said those same two-bedroom, one-bath units are advertised on sale at more than $500,000.

Finding new creative ways to combat homelessness and generate affordable housing is in the wheelhouse of Bernstein Chargin, who

has pushed for Measure A monies to go toward a village of tiny manufactured homes (400 square feet) for the most needy of residents.

“We have to find a way to get affordable units” built in the county, said Bernstein Chargin, who explained that twice as many jobs have been created than housing units since the recession.

“As Measure A projects are proposed and you have the opportunity to oppose or support them, the best way to help is to support those projects,” she continued. “Right now people are living in their cars on the street, near creeks and in other unsanitary and unsafe areas.”

The Compassion Center, located at 370 Tomkins Court in Gilroy (right across from the Social Services building) in Gilroy, provides case managers to homeless and pays camping fees for them so they can have access to showers and bathrooms while they are waiting for permanent residences, Bernstein Chargin shared. She also touted the City of Morgan Hill’s safe parking program (called Focus) that provides eight homeless families with safe places to park their Recreational Vehicles and supply them with some basic essentials.

“It returns human dignity to a difficult situation,” Bernstein Chargin said. “Right now, there isn’t any place someone can afford to live if they are working 30 hours on minimum wage. We need to build housing that can be affordable.”

Free transportation to schools

Bird, who heads up MHUSD’s CARE program that caters to students who are homeless, in foster care and socio-economically disadvantaged, dropped a bombshell on the attentive audience by stating there are currently 652 homeless students in local public schools.

She further explained, included in that count are students whose families live in RVs; “double up” with a handful or more of family members living in one room; and

“surfer” students who are on the outs with their parents and sleep on couches at friends’ homes.

Bird said the district provides these identified students with free transportation to and from school and free meals on campus, as well as counseling at LIve Oak and Sobrato high schools and Britton Middle School. The best way for the public to help, Bird replied, was to offer an extra room they may have at their home to a family in need.

“We need to open our hearts,” she said.

Garcia summarized and touted the city's affordable housing program. She also mentioned they currently have a less than 1 percent vacancy rate. The median household income for a family of four in Santa Clara County is $113,400, she said. Affordable housing addresses varying levels of income below that median beginning at extremely low (0 to 30 percent of that average).

“Morgan Hill has done a really great job at creating affordable housing,” said Garcia, detailing that 8 percent of local residential developments are affordable at a variety of different income levels.

She told audience members the best way to help is to donate funds for car repair and gas cards.

Programs assist in helping homeless

Bringing some youthful resilience into the homeless issue, Murphy, a high school senior, founded “Manna” to help nourish young families, especially those headed by single mothers (63 percent of whom fall below the poverty line, she said).

Murphy, along with some friends, interviewed some low-income families and found out that many must decide each month between paying rent, buying groceries or keeping current on their bills. In her conversations with homeless women, Murphy found they feel isolated and that no one cares about them.

Interactions with homeless individuals is part of the job for local police officers—specifically

Robert Eliason

the six panelists who each answered a set of prepared questions surrounding the homeless issue prior to any additional inquiries from audience members.

The panelists were: Jan Bernstein Chargin (chair of the Compassion Center in Gilroy), Andrea Bird (lead counselor for Morgan Hill Unified School District), Rebecca Garcia (housing manager for the City of Morgan Hill), Claire Murphy (an Oakwood High senior who founded a nonprofit called “Manna”), Cecilia Ponziini (founder of Cecilia’s Closet and the Edward “Boss” Foundation) and David Swing (Police Chief of the Morgan Hill Police Department).

A county homeless count report released earlier this year revealed a 13 percent increase in homelessness across the county since 2015, with a point-in-time census of 7,394. In Morgan Hill, the number of unsheltered homeless increased 379 percent from 81 in 2015 to 388 in 2017, according to the Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey Report.

These figures, as well as real-life visuals of a growing homeless population during a regional housing crisis, prompted AAUW members to provide a forum for discussion.

‘TRYING TO RESTORE DIGNITY’ Police Chief David Swing speaks about his officers’ encounters with local homeless individuals during the Sept. 26 Homeless Panel hosted by the local chapter of the American Association of University Women at the Morgan Hill Library.

MHPD’s Homeless Outreach Team, according to Swing. The police chief said officers carry backpacks in their patrol cars filled with toiletries and $7 in cash that they can distribute to homeless people they encounter.

“It’s something that can help get people back on their feet in some way,” said Swing of the HOPE backpack program that his department is a part of. “It’s about dignity and trying to restore dignity in the lives of others.”

The police and the city, along with other local organizations such as Ponzini's cache of humanitarian efforts, have helped get the pilot safe parking program off the

ground. Ponzini has found success in many capacities with her “No Child Goes Unfed” program, which writes checks to schools so they can provide free meals to students, no questions asked. To date, 1,800 students have gotten free lunch through that program, Ponzini said.

“The community has been very, very good to us,” said Ponzini of the generosity of all kinds of donations received by her foundation over the years. She mentioned that gentle-used clothing as well as new socks and underwear remain priorities. They can be delivered to 35 Peebles Ave. For more information, visit edwardbossprado.org.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

OCTOBER 6, 2017

Turner offered $230K salary, home loan ➝ Turner, 1

Mayor Pro Tem Larry Carr recalled first getting to know Rymer when he joined Morgan Hill’s recreation and community services department in 2006.

When the council promoted him in 2013 to replace outgoing City Manager Ed Tewes, Rymer was “the absolute right city manager at the right time for Morgan Hill.”

“You really challenged us as a council, and as a team, and as a community,” Carr said. “I’m a better person for having worked with you…in understanding what it means to build a community.”

Welcoming applause

Turner received several standing ovations and sustained applause from the audience as the council approved her appointment to her new position on a 5-0 vote. The contract provides Turner, 40, a base salary of $230,000, with an annual cost-ofliving salary increase. She will pay the employee’s retirement contribution, and pay for half of any future increases in the city’s share of such payments.

The city also will offer her a housing loan of up to $1.3 million to purchase a residence and property within the city limits, as well as up to $15,000 in relocation expenses.

Turner currently lives in Gilroy with her family, but she told the Times they plan to move to Morgan Hill.

Rymer’s salary in 2016 was $248,000, and the council awarded him numerous annual raises prior to that, based on positive performance evaluations. He also received a housing loan, as well as a home improvement loan from the city.

Turner has worked for the City of Morgan Hill as assistant city manager since March 2016. Before that, she worked as the City of Gilroy’s finance director. Many of those in the Morgan Hill audience Sept. 27 were her former colleagues, friends and neighbors from Gilroy.

“I am truly honored and pleased to be serving as Morgan Hill’s next city manager,” Turner said after Torrez swore her in. “You have heard throughout the night what an amazing city we have. I am extremely blessed to serve the city.”

Gender not a factor

With comments that seemed to be pointed at recent remarks by a fellow councilmember—but without mentioning that official by name—Jachimowicz told Turner that her gender had nothing to do with her appointment.

Special to the Times

together to make Morgan Hill what it is, and to make it even better.”

Rymer choked up as he reserved a special nod for the 188 members of city staff, who he has frequently called his “teammates” over the last four-plus years.

“This truly is a team that is motivated to serve, dedicated to this community, to this council and even to me,” Rymer said.

“I’m going to miss you guys. It is an exceptional team that’s here.”

He concluded his remarks by congratulating Turner, formerly the city’s assistant city manager for administrative services, with whom Rymer has worked for the last 18 months. “I have the utmost confidence she is going to carry the community forward,” he said.

Councilmembers then gave their own thanks to Rymer and reflected on his legacy in Morgan Hill.

“So much of what is great about our city is going to be your legacy, and that is the collaborative nature of City Hall…and also our culture of sustainability,” said Councilwoman Caitlin Jachimowicz, who was appointed to her council seat in February. “I won’t forget that you were the driving force behind that.”

SOLEMNLY SWORN Morgan Hill City Manager Christina Turner (left) takes the oath of office administered by City Clerk Irma Torrez at the Sept. 27 council meeting.

“You did not win this position because you are a woman,” Jachimowicz said. “I hope you don’t let anybody diminish your accomplishments by making you think otherwise. However, it’s important for us to celebrate the fact that you are a woman.”

She continued by noting that as of 2015, only 19 percent of city managers in California are women, and females are vastly underrepresented in public and private sector management.

Before administering the oath of

office, Torrez noted that Turner is the second female city manager in Morgan Hill during the city clerk’s 36 years with the city.

Councilman Rich Constantine said that shortly after the council voted in closed session Sept. 6 to negotiate with Turner for the city manager post, the majority of the council was leaning toward her “because she was a woman.” He said he voted against the motion to negotiate with Turner because he doesn’t think it’s fair to hire someone based on gender or race.

Cheeto Barrera Sports Editor

With the Mt. Hamilton Division thrown into chaos thanks to a dramatic Santa Teresa upset of Oak Grove last week, Live Oak is enjoying new life thanks to both the opportunity and thanks to a dramatic win of its own.

The Acorns trailed 20-7 at the half to Piedmont Hills but Jonathan Singleton, Christian Guary and Jaime Martinez plus the entire Live Oak defense led a comeback effort to come away with a 21-20 victory.

Now Live Oak has a chance to improve to 2-1 in Mt. Hamilton Division play and be among four teams who will at the very least be nipping at the heels of Westmont who stands alone at the top of the Division at 2-0.

If Piedmont Hills knocks off the Warriors, four teams will be tied for first at the end of the night in stead of three tied for second.

“Anybody in the league has a chance to take it right now. Anybody in the league can beat anybody,” said coach Mike Gemo, adding, “...This gives the kids in every program a chance. If they come out excited every day in practice and work hard, they have chanve to win league.”

Even though having a renewed shot at winning the league will make any coach happy, Gemo was especially thrilled by the news that Santa Teresa knocked off Oak Grove for the first time in more than 30 years.

“It’s a big deal for me being alumn of Santa Teresa. They haven’t been able to beat for them years, When I coached there, we never got them.

I’m extremely happy for (Coach Nick) Alfano. This made a lot of Santa Teresa alumns proud.”

Gemo said his team

SPEEDY Receiver Christian Guary runs after catching a pass from Jonathan Singleton for one of his two touchdowns against Piedmont Hills. didn’t need the added boost of the league being wide open to work hard.

He said they took it upon themselves to change their focus at practice to help end a three-game losing streak.

“They changed a little bit of their attitude toward practice and they’re working hard right now to get better every day,” Gemo said.

Standing in Live Oak’s

way to be among those three or four teams is Leigh who saw its fourgame winning streak come to an end with a loss to Pioneer last week.

Leigh played four straight tight matches, winning by one score in each of the contests until going against Pioneer last week.

Gemo said Leigh does a lot of things that Piedmont Hills did well last week and the Acorns are going to

need to solid on both sides of the ball to counter what Leigh does.

The Longhorns are led by quarterback Kyle Albert who is second only to Singleton in passing in the league.

He has thrown for 1,005 yards in five games, but has thrown nine interceptions against seven touchdowns.

Best of W. Valley Div to square off Friday

DEFENSIVE STAND The Sobrato defense will need to

stand tall against Overfelt’s big weapons Friday.

Royals have knocked off Lincoln and just smashed Mt. Pleasant and James Lick.

Sobrato is coming off a dominating win of its own, rolling past Yerba Buena 48-14 last week.

In that game, John Bell threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns while running for 111 more yards and a touchdown.

Sobrato is itching to prove it can compete for a league title and it can make some noise in the CCS playoffs.

Friday night can go a long way to showing everyone just how real that can be and against a Overfelt who is itching to avenge a loss to the Bulldogs a year ago as well as exercize its own demons from league play last year.

Overfelt was the odd team out following a three-way tie for the league title with the other two winners moving up to the Santa Teresa Divsion.

The Royals will come at Sobrato with a lethal quarterback in Ulysses Ryees who has thrown for 773 yards this season and runningback Shalom Filoialii slassing defenses to the tune of 618 yards.

Overfelt sits at 3-2, much like Sobrato, after tough losses to Gilroy and Santa Clara to start the season. But since then, the

A defensive stand Sobrato is officially back into its winning ways with a 25-23, 25-20, 25-22 win over Silver Creek to improve to 5-2 in Santa Teresa Division play. Jenna Fields had seven kills and 10 digs, Taylor Tran had 30 digs, Mackenzie Turnipseed had five solo blocks and six aces.

Hailey Jones had 12 assists and Lizzie Santos had seven assists.Santos was out on CCS contract, she transferred schools, and Tuesday was her first game back. This follows a 3-1 win over Andrew Hill and a 2-1 win over More at the Mt. Madonna Invitational over the weekend.

This marks a solid winning streak after dropping two tough matches to Leland and Prospect.

Sobrato traveled to Independence on Wednesday but results were not available by presstime. The Bulldogs return home Oct. 10 to host Santa Teresa starting at 6 p.m.

Jones ran for 209 yards and two TDs. Entering Friday, four teams are 2-0 in West Valley play with Prospect and Evergreen both lerking.

But only two will emerge 3-0, setting up an epic clash later in the season.

Sobrato and Overfelt are favored to roll through the division, however, as both have fased tougher competition.

Live Oak wins thanks to last minute heroics against Piedmont Hills Acorns, from 19 targets in Nick Alexander and Niklas Cooper who combine for half of the team’s receptions.

The Longhorns will run the ball, but won’t focus on a single back.

Against Pioneer, Leigh had two runners break 50 yards on the ground, but had to abanon the run game quickly as the Mustangs

jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter.

The week before, it was also the passing game that carried Leigh over Santa Teresa thanks to a late field goal.

Kickoff for Friday’s game is scheduled for 7 p.m. in San Jose.

Win over Piedmont Hills With 1:10 left to play

in the game, Singleton’s scrambling ability led to a go-ahead touchdown to Martinez and ultimately to a 21-20 come from behind victory to stun Piedmont Hills and snap a threegame losing streak.

“That was an exciting game. That was a good football team over there. The last two years it seems like it came down to the last play,”

said coach Mike Gemo.

Live Oak trailed 20-7 after the first half, scoring 14 unanswered points in the second half and both on great plays by Singleton extending a play with his feet and keeping his eyes down field.

At the close of the third quarter, Singleton found himself running for his life only to find Christian Guary

in a soft spot in the defense and fed him the ball.

Guary capitalized on the defensive confusion and sprinted for the end zone for a 22-yard score.

Guary caught seven passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns and both were dramatic.

Before his 22-yard strike to cut the deficit down to six, Guary caught a touchdown

that was only beat by Martinez’ grab in terms of dramatics.

Late in the second quarter, Singleton had four defenders in his face and he once again was scrambling for his life.

It looked as though Singleton had no choice but to throw the ball away, but he sent a pass up the sideline where Guary was in the area.
