The fate of contracts, hospitals’ pensions uncertain SC COUNTY SAYS IT WILL CONTINUE SERVICES AT O’CONNOR, SAINT LOUISE Bryce Stoepfel Reporter
➝ St. Louise, 12
Scott Hinrichs
Santa Clara County's $235 million bid to buy St. Louise and O'Connor hospitals, if accepted, will not negatively affect services offered at the hospitals, pledged County Executive Jeff Smith in an interview this week. That's the good news for patients. For employees, uncertainty surrounds collective bargaining agreements currently in place, and pensions will be decided by a U.S. bankruptcy court. Smith this week said all St. Louise and O'Connor employees would become employees of Santa Clara County if the purchase of the hospitals from Verity Health Systems goes

Cars of grandeur impress 7TH ANNUAL BRITISH FALL CLASSIC DRAWS THE CROWDS By Debra Eskinazi Magazine and Features Editor
Thousands of spectators converged on downtown Morgan Hill for the British Fall Car Classic
Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 13 and 14 Nearly 150 British cars and their owners polished up for the event, which included a display on Sunday, put on by On the Road Again Classics— a British car restoration shop in Morgan Hill. On the Road Again Classics owner Bill Hiland said they started the event to bring people
into downtown Morgan Hill while giving them a free look at some rare and exotic cars—some worth a few million dollars. Hiland said there were a wide array of British vehicles on display Sunday, from a 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I—“a very dashing old car” all the way down to Bugeyed Sprites—a small open sports car produced in the UK by Austin-Healey.
“There was a 1937 Bentley,” said Hiland. “One-of-a-kind. It won its class. This isn’t your average street hot rod show because some of these cars including that Bentley have actually won prestigious prizes like in Pebble Beach.” Hiland said in reference to Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance— a premier car collector competition.
Hiland’s hope behind bringing the lineup of cars out to the main drag is to “fill up the restaurants on Sunday as opposed to having it out in some grassy area someplace else.” The event has raised thousands of dollars for Community Solutions since getting its start seven years ago. ➝ Fall Classic, 12
Greg Sellers tops all in fundraising MAYOR’S SEAT HOPEFUL RAISES MORE THAN $20,000 FOR CAMPAIGN Jaqueline McCool Reporter
As the 2018 election inches closer, candidates have been competing to collect contributions for their campaigns. In the race for mayor,
Greg Sellers has raised more than twice as much as both his opponents combined. Sellers and one of his opponents, Councilmember Rich Constantine, said they had set fundraising goals at $20,000. Sellers has met his goal, according to reports filed with the city clerk. Constantine has raised about 40 percent of his target. Kirk Bertolet, who is running against Sellers and
Constantine, has chosen to self-fund his campaign. There is no incumbent in the mayor’s race, as the current mayor, Steve Tate, has pledged to retire after the end of his current two-year term. The Fair Political Practices Committee (FPPC) requires candidates to complete a series of forms that declare campaign finance activities in the interest of public transparency. All Morgan Hill
candidate’s FPPC filings are available on the city website at morganhill. ca.gov. Sellers reported $20,823 in monetary contributions and $150 in non-monetary. A nonmonetary contribution is a service provided to the candidate not at market rate, such as a space to hold a campaign event. The contribution would be what that space would typically cost to rent. In
total Sellers has raised $20,973. Current Councilmember Caitlin Jachimowicz gave $250 to the Sellers campaign. 30th Assembly candidate and current San Benito County Supervisor, Robert Rivas gave $100. The committee, “Tate for Mayor” also contributed $100. Sellers received large contributions from Diane ➝ Campaign Money, 14
