Glory Days Sports Pub wants public’s help with new name
Dear Editor,
Attention friends and fans of Glory Days. After four years of building a solid reputation in Morgan Hill, we are forced to change our name. Glory Days Sports Pub has received a cease and desist order from the East Coast restaurant chain, Glory Days Grill. Because of possible confusion between the two names, infringement laws, not to mention advice from our attorney, we have decided not to fight the inevitable, but to go ahead and change our name.
Since two heads are better than one, a few hundred must be better than two. We will be holding a “New Name Contest” during the month of May. We are taking suggestions by written ballot, e-mail or via our Web site. You may enter as often as you like. The grand prize is your choice of a new iPhone (no service contract) or a $300 gift certificate, and all the bragging rights that go with being the winner.
Be assured that this is a name change only. There will be no change in ownership or staff and you will continue to receive the same high quality food and friendly service that you have come to expect from our little pub.
Thank you for four fantastic years in Morgan Hill. It is a pleasure serving you. We look forward to your continued friendship and support, and as they say in politics, “Four More Years!”
Send suggestions to Glory Days Sports Pub, 17230 Monterey Road, Morgan Hill, CA 95037, e-mail to ml***@***************on.com or in**@****************ub.com or visit www.glorydayssportspub.com

Where you point a finger, be sure to give a hand
Dear Editor,
I have always heard about the Morgan Hill School Board not being sympathetic to the Charter School of Morgan Hill, but I never really believed it entirely. I was absolutely disappointed by the cold reception the Charter School parents received at the board meeting last Tuesday night.
Dr. Alan Nishino’s concern is a perfectly legitimate one: What is the school doing to augment and balance its number of Latino students? The board seemed very frustrated by our progress. But, as a Charter parent I would like to know: “What has the district done to offer the opportunity to students to come to our school? Why don’t we have a bus that can serve our school the way it serves other schools in the district? I am convinced that our location deters members from our community to join us. Maybe Charter School should be relocated at Burnett, thus increasing the chance of Latino families to sign up?
As our community image changes, so should the people who represent us. Our board, which does a phenomenal job, does not reflect the diversity of our community either.
It is time to ask our Latino parents to stand up, and make sure we have more Latino board members. It is time for the district to be more inclusive of the Charter school as so many other districts already are.
The district should be proud of being able to offer various way to serve their students, because in Morgan Hill, I am convinced that my children will do very well in either type of schools.
My son is in third grade at Charter and my daughter is in eighth grade at Britton. I am thrilled by both schools. As a matter of fact, I think that both schools would tremendously benefit from each other if the board would get over the fact that we are here to stay. Charter’s outreach as been the most effective and positive through its parents by word of mouth. We all agree that we need to be more inviting to our Latino community.
It is the board’s responsibility to stop pointing fingers and instead, lead by example and give us a hand to better include the Charter school in our great school district.
It is the duty of our Superintendent, who I really admire, to provide the best education for all his students, thus offering them a promising future. It is our responsibility to be aware of our school’s business.
Ultimately, all our children will benefit and thrive from such a cooperative, diverse and educated community.
Lydie Jones, Morgan Hill, Britton Home & School Club President and District Advisory Committee President
