octors at El Camino Hospital tried their hands at a relatively new surgical method Monday. The technique, known as single-incision laparoscopic surgery — or SILS — employs

a miniature camera, tiny light and a variety of tools attached to the ends of long wires, which allow surgeons to perform a wide array of procedures, such as appendectomies, hysterectomies, and hernia operations, all through a single opening in a patient’s belly button.

According to hospital doctors, as well as officials from the medical technology company running the event, the technique is gaining popularity in the field of minimally invasive medical procedures. See MOBILE SURGERY, page 9

City barks up new tree for animal control COUNCIL CONSIDERS MONEY-SAVING CONTRACT WITH SANTA CLARA-BASED AGENCY By Daniel DeBolt

T

he city is taking a serious look at switching from Palo Alto Animal Services to a Santa Clara-based service in order to save about $150,000 a year on animal control. City Council members were undecided in a study session Tuesday as to whether to renew a contract with the city of Palo Alto’s police department for animal con-

trol services. Switching to Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority would mean more animal services at less cost, though residents would pay slightly more for services and the shelter is located a few miles further away than Palo Alto’s, about 8.5 miles from City Hall. An example of SVACA’s increased services is that officers would be able to respond to Mountain View 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday, compared to Palo Alto’s

nine hours a day. SVACA has a new facility, while Palo Alto’s 1970s building needs costly upgrades, which have been put on hold since Sunnyvale canceled its contract with PAAS several years ago. A SVACA contract would also free up a Mountain View community services officer who investigates an average of 35 animal cases a year. See ANIMAL CONTROL, page 7

store. It was announced Tuesday that Rite Aid is no longer part of the project. In the last 40 minutes of the four-hour discussion, at around 11 p.m., council members gave some feedback on the project, adjusting building locations and street frontages, moving driveways and increasing park and sidewalk space, but not making the fundamental changes to the design that a number of residents suggested.

he City Council decided not to give final approval of a major redevelopment project at San Antonio Shopping Center Tuesday, saying that the design had clearly not been finished. Council members said they weren’t interested in approving the project Tuesday after a representative for the developer read a long list of changes that they wanted to be made to the project.

Code inspectors reveal illegal, unsafe side of the city By Daniel DeBolt

NICK GONZALES

Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, gave a wide-ranging talk at the Computer History Museum April 25.

The ‘Idea Man’ comes to town By Nick Veronin

S

pace enthusiasts, computer engineers, software designers, neurologists, astronomers, cancer survivors and aspiring entrepreneurs all had good reason to fork out $32 to attend Monday night’s event at the Computer History Museum. The conversation between Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and award-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas was the latest installment of the museum’s “Revolutionaries” series, which is meant to accompany the new exhibit, Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing. The conversation was co-sponsored by Kepler’s, the independent bookstore in Menlo Park.

Allen talked with Vargas in support of his new book, “Idea Man,” which discusses the good and bad parts of his life. “I’ve had some great successes and some signature failures,” Allen told Vargas. Aside from becoming one of the richest men in the world through his creation of one of the most well-known companies on the planet, Allen is also a philanthropist. He has contributed significantly to, or founded, many large-scale projects, such as SpaceShipOne, which pioneered the first private flight into outer space; the Allen Institute for Brain Science, which has drafted the first comprehensive gene map of the human brain; the Allen Telescope Array, which has been used

by the University of California at Berkeley to scour the cosmos for signs of intelligent life; and the Experience Music Project, a critically acclaimed music museum in Seattle. He is also a survivor of lymphoma. Jonathan Devor, an astronomy hobbyist from Santa Clara, said he admires Allen’s work on the telescope array. “If he’s got something to say, I want to hear it,” Devor said. “He is a fascinating person.” The conversation began with a discussion of Allen’s early life and friendship with Bill Gates — a friendship that ultimately turned sour after Allen left Microsoft. “In retrospect, how lucky was I to have a partner as capable as Bill See PAUL ALLEN, page 10

SETI puts search for sentient life on hold By Nick Veronin

T

he Mountain View-based SETI Institute announced April 22 that it is powering down its array of antennae used to comb the cosmos for hints of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Jill Tartar, director of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Institute, said that cuts on the federal and state level, coupled with the recession, have resulted in a

dearth of funding at the University of California, Berkeley, which runs the antennae array for SETI. According to Tartar, U.C. Berkeley recently informed SETI that it cannot afford to operate the Allen Telescope Array — SETI’s field of large and small satellitedish-shaped antennae in Northern California, which is used to monitor space for transmissions, in the hopes of finding a signal that may have been broadcast intentionally

or inadvertently by sentient beings elsewhere in the universe. The university will put array, located at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory between Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta, into “hibernation,” meaning that no signals will be collected for SETI research. “A perfect storm” of cuts led to the U.C. Berkeley decision, Tartar said. There was the federal government’s inability to pass a budget, for one — “It’s hard to start new proj-

ity code inspectors gave a tour through some of the worst code violations in Mountain View, including storage lockers being used as homes and an apartment complex where trash was dumped in a swimming pool, at a presentation last week to the City Council. The presentation comes as the council considers various ways to cut the city budget in the long term. One second-tier budget cut proposed would lay off one of the city’s two code inspectors, Kelli Casale and Chris Costanzo Costanzo and Casale, who took turns making the presentation, said that about 75 percent of their work has to do with illegal dumping, front yard storage, vehicles parked on private property and sign violations. As a wave of foreclosures hit the country, Casale and Costanzo say they began to find large piles of garbage and unwanted furniture on the street outside of foreclosed homes. They’ve also begun to see more “hoarders,” people who can’t stop collecting things, filling their hallways with objects that could either catch fire or block an exit. Storage unit living One of the more troubling cases was the discovery of a 74-year-old woman living in a storage locker at Public Storage on Old Middlefield Way. There were reports from police, confirmed by managers, about as many as five others living in the storage lockers, including one other woman who left before code inspectors arrived. The elderly woman was last seen loading her things into a U-Haul truck heading for an unknown ects on a continuing resolution,” she said. Additionally, cuts from the National Science Foundation, which reduced its University Radio Observatory funding to Berkeley, forced the university to cut its staff at Hat Creek by about 90 percent. California’s budget woes also loomed large, as public universities across the state are feeling the impact of an estimated $25.4 billion budget shortfall. And complicating matters further, the recession has made it difficult to raise private money, Tartar said. Still, Tartar said, SETI is doing all

location, Casale said in a phone interview after the meeting. She had been sleeping on a recliner, which was so tightly packed into the small storage locker with her other possessions it didn’t fully recline, Costanzo said. She declined help from the Community Services Agency, Casale said. City Attorney Jannie Quinn said the company’s regional managers were unaware the storage units were being used for housing, which is prohibited by the city’s housing code. Casale and Costanzo say they each have 35 to 50 open code violation cases at any given time, requiring multiple site visits to resolve. That’s reasonable for ensuring the legality and safety of the city’s 14,566 housing units, 24 hotels and motels and numerous other properties. They receive 75 to 80 complaints a year about code violations. Costanzo called it an “adversarial” and “confrontational” job. Business owners are often unhappy about having to move a temporary sign off a sidewalk that could be bringing in business, one of the more common complaints. Costanzo said businesses have requested the ability to receive temporary permits for such signs. Casale presented the case of a Rock Street apartment building where she was “terrified” to find a drained pool being used as a “dumpster and toilet.” There was a large pile of garbage in it, including an old mattress. It turned out that the complex had been all but abandoned by a property owner who was set to redevelop the complex as row See CODE INSPECTION, page 6

it can to raise the money to keep the Allen Telescope Array — named after Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft — up and running. That includes seeking major funding sources as well as accepting private individual donations on its website, SETI.org. Tartar said that the work SETI is doing is highly valuable — even in trying economic times. “The human race has been asking this question for millennia,” she said. “We have been asking ourSee SETI, page 8

â– MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE â– APRIL 29, 2011

-PDBM/FXT

A Sunnyvale woman was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend outside of a Mountain View restaurant Friday, April 22, police said. The man threatened to kill the woman, 28, and took her back to his house before he ultimately agreed to let her go. Mountain View police arrested 28-year-old Servando Reyes at his home after the victim reported the kidnapping the next day, Mountain View police spokeswoman Liz Wylie said. The incident began at about 10 p.m. Friday night, outside of the Chaat Paradise restaurant in Mountain View. The victim, who was leaving the restaurant where she worked, had called her brotherin-law and asked him to pick her up, because, according to Wylie, Reyes was “not happy� with the breakup and the woman was fearful that her ex-boyfriend might confront her at her job. Her fears were confirmed as she was getting into her brotherin-law’s car: Reyes came up to the vehicle, and her brother-in-law attempted to speed off, Wylie said. The car hit a pole, which gave Reyes an opportunity to open the car door, throw his ex-girlfriend over his shoulder and drag her to his car, even as her brother-in-law attempted to physically stop Reyes – at one point punching him in the face. Reyes drove around “aimlessly� for about 45-minutes, Wylie said — “sometimes at a high rate of speed� and threatened to crash the car and kill himself along with his former girlfriend. Then Reyes drove back to his house with the victim. Meanwhile, the brother-in-law called his wife, the victim’s sister,

homes. An explosion in the popularity of food trucks, which communicate with customers on Facebook and Twitter, has created a new challenge for code inspectors. The city has received half a dozen complaints about food trucks, including one from a restaurant about a truck that regularly parks on Ortega Avenue. “He’s taking my business away and doesn’t pay any rent,� was how Mayor Jac Siegel described that complaint. Recently a food truck set up a tent and a grill for several days in the parking lot of Clyde’s Liquors on El Camino Real, spurring Quinn to begin a study of revisions to the city’s 1958 “mobile canteen� ordinance this summer. “At what point does it become a (land) use?� Quinn said. It turns out that the temporary signs used by real estate agents

who drove to Reyes’ house, Wylie said. There, after a heated discussion with the victim’s sister as well as members of his own family — all of whom implored Reyes to let his ex-girlfriend go — he relented and the victim left with her sister. The incident was not reported until 10:22 p.m. on Saturday. “Domestic violence is something that is often times under-reported for various reasons,� Wylie said. Fear of retribution often plays a heavy role in the under reporting of such incidents, Wylie said. The victim decided to report the incident after Reyes went to her work the next day and waited for her to arrive. Reyes asked to talk to her, but she refused and a coworker convinced him to leave. “It is important that these things get reported because this could have ended very poorly for the victim,� Wylie said. “We can help people and we can help put people in contact with resources that can help get them out of these types of situations.� Police found Reyes at his home with a black eye. He was arrested without incident and charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor domestic violence. —Nick Veronin

FLASHER CHASES WOMAN Police arrested a man on attempted rape charges after he chased a woman while exposing himself Sunday evening. The 26-year-old Mountain View man, Jose Camacho, was quickly located after the incident was reported to police dispatchers at 5:16 p.m. on April 24, according to See CRIME BRIEFS, next page

to advertise open houses on the weekends are also illegal under the city’s sign ordinance, when not on private property. Adam Montgomery, government relations director for the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, said Los Altos and other cities are more lenient and he urged Mountain View officials to follow suit. Council members were not critical of the code enforcement program in their remarks, though council member John Inks said he has been a critic of it. “Just the fact that people know we have code enforcement keeps them following the law,� Siegel said. “It does hold the city together,� said council member Laura Macias. “Of course you are going to get one or two unsatisfied customers.� Vocal critic Don Letcher, perhaps the most unsatisfied customer of all, called the program “abusive.� Letcher has been engaged in a multi-year battle with the city over the fate of his rental property.

The man’s genitals were exposed and he was touching himself, Wylie said, so the woman quickly crossed the street. The man followed her, so she started running and the man began running as well. She began screaming for help, so the man stopped following her, turned around and walked back

Some were concerned it would take longer for SVACA to respond to calls about a stray dog or dangerous animal. Palo Alto’s average response time to Mountain View is 34 minutes while SVACA’s average response times to Campbell and Monte Sereno is 28 minutes. SVACA officials said the goal would be to have a truck dedicated to Mountain View for quick response times. On average, SVACA’s services will be slightly higher for residents. It

because “they are the experts.” In response to calls for a wider sidewalk and building frontages along El Camino Real, she said “I don’t care what anybody says, El Camino Real will never be a nice place to walk.” “El Camino Real can be a perfectly pleasant place,” Bryant said, citing a popular cafe in Menlo Park as an example. “Saying this is the way it will always be... will not work.” Several council members supported an opportunity to implement the “Grand Boulevard” vision for a walkable El Camino Real with a 15 foot wide sidewalk along the project’s shops, replacing the less-than-10-foot-wide sidewalk proposed. Resident Jarret Mullen suggested a 24-foot-wide sidewalk. A 54-inch high wall at San Antonio Road and El Camino Real,

down Crisanto Avenue. Wylie said there were police officers in the vicinity who were able to respond quickly. The victim’s mother, who heard her daughter’s screams, followed Camacho as he walked down Crisanto and pointed him out to police who arrested him near the skate park in Rengstorff Park. Camacho was charged with indecent exposure and assault with attempt to rape — the second charge stemming from his action of aggressively following the victim, Wylie explained.

This incident is uncommon as far as indecent exposure cases go, Wylie said. Often, the perpetrator wishes to expose himself and that is all. “The vast majority of those people don’t progress to the next step,” she said. “This is an isolated incident,” Wylie said, but noted that police are investigating to see if any other similar events have occurred recently in the area. “We always tell people if something like that happens, the best thing to do is walk away from the person and call 911 right away or seek assistance from someone.”

would cost $42 to license an altered dog for three years, compared to $35 now charged by Palo Alto. Some services would be cheaper; SVACA would charge only $75 to spay or neuter a dog while Palo Alto charges between $100 and $215. Mountain View police commander Max Bosel said SVACA “is not a lesser qualified provider in terms of services” when compared to Palo Alto Animal Services. Council member Margaret AbeKoga noted another selling point: a Mountain View city official would have a seat on SVACA’s governing board at regular meetings, whereas Palo Alto, which also serve Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, only

meets with partnering cities on an as-needed basis. Council member Laura Macias appeared to be the staunchest defender of the Palo Alto animal services contract, saying that the city’s analysis has not taken into enough consideration the needs of the city’s pet owners who would appreciate the proximity of the Palo Alto shelter. She and other council members said they would like to discuss potential cost saving with Palo Alto before deciding to pull the city’s dollars away completely — something that would have a major financial impact on Palo Alto Animal Services, Bosel said.

below market rate units in the Minton’s redevelopment through the use of a development agreement. In return for the 10 below-market-rate apartments offered, the developer requested that the city reimburse 100 percent of the value of the one-acre public park in the project, rather than the typical 50 percent. That could lower the $5.5 million park in-lieu fee that would otherwise be required. The one-acre park, dubbed “San Antonio Green,” would bisect the property into northern and southern halves. The developer claims there is space in the park for a farmers market, a dog park, bike paths and a bocce ball court. Abe-Koga and others questioned the need for a one-way driveway circulating around the park, which several members said would not encourage use of the park. Some called for a two-way driveway on one side of it. It has been suggested that Target

El Camino cedes ground to nurses union BENEFITS CLOSER TO WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE HOSPITAL BOARD IMPOSED CONTRACT By Nick Veronin

A

fter returning to the bargaining table with the nurses’ union, El Camino Hospital has partially reinstated one of the benefits that had initially been eliminated in the “last, best and final offer” contract the board of directors unilaterally passed in November. The reinstated benefit allows nurses to once again earn paid time off — or PTO — when taking time off. The contract passed in November made it so nurses would no longer earn PTO on their days off. “That was the biggest complaint that the nurses had about the imposed contract,” said Pat Briggs, president of the union, Professional Resource for Nurses, known as PRN. Starting in July, the PTO structure will return to the way it had been before November — almost. “It will not be completely back to the way it was before,” Briggs said. According to her, nurses used to earn paid time off when they were going to continuing education classes — a requirement — and during extended leaves of absence. In the newly revised contract nurses will not earn PTO in those instances. They will, however, earn PTO when on vacation and regular sick leave. The board imposed El Camino Hospital’s “last, best and final” offer on Nov. 10, after lengthy negotiations with the nurses’ union. The contract

may wish to move from Showers Drive into the northern portion of the site, where there would otherwise be space for three, 40,000 square foot retailer stores above a street-level parking garage. There was intense discussion about how to direct pedestrians through the Safeway parking lot, which had the developer defending a sidewalk-free design in the name of pedestrian safety, while some council members said there was room to remove a few parking spots to allow for pedestrians to comfortably walk through. Abe-Koga and others noted that the project already had more parking than the city requires. The Safeway would also have rooftop parking. The manager of Safeway on California Street said their land lease ends in 2016, and the store

was uniformly opposed by PRN and was called “unfair, unnecessary” and disrespectful by one of the nurses who addressed the board at November’s public board meeting. The board narrowly approved the contract in a split 3-2 vote. Administrators who spoke at the meeting in favor of passing the contract cited tough economic times. But Briggs said that in fighting for this benefit, the nurses were not asking for an unreasonable perk. “It is the standard in employment that you earn vacation time when you take vacation time,” she said. “We were below the standard. So, it really put us out of competition with the other hospitals in the area, and that put us at a grave disadvantage.” Charlene Gliniecki, vice president of human resources for El Camino, agreed with Briggs, noting in an e-mail that the hospital reconsidered its stance on nurse PTO in order to keep the hospital competitive with other hospitals in the area. “The hospital values the contribution nurses make to patient care and the relationship built over 10 years of negotiations based on our mutual interests,” Gliniecki wrote in the e-mail. When asked whether the change to the contract would be enough to repair the relationship between the El Camino administration and nurses, Briggs replied: “It’s a small step. That’s all I’d say.” V

is counting on the new location. Resident Doug Delong said it made more sense, traffic-wise, for Safeway to move to the California Street side of the shopping center, and said there was no good reason to have Safeway in the project, it just happened to be a place where a piece of real estate became available. Several union representatives and Safeway employees were there to defend the 200 “good jobs” slated for the new Safeway, an increase from the current 120 jobs at the California Avenue store. Merlone Geier said the new development would employ 900 people, and provide a “net increase” to the city’s sales tax revenue of $1.2 million. All of those employees would receive subsidized transit passes for three years from Merlone Geier. V

Students sow seeds of green CONSERVATIONIST IDEALS, PLANTED IN THE CLASSROOM, BLOOM AT HOME By Nick Veronin

A

local elementary school club is aiming to increase environmental awareness both at school and at home with a program that gives students the opportunity to swap eco-conscious deeds for prizes. If all goes according to plan, the program, which kicked off late last week, will get both children and their parents thinking green, and instill a sense of stewardship in the Theuerkauf Elemenatry community. On April 19, shrieks of joy filled the air during the mid-day recess at Theuerkauf. Children swung, hopped, bounced balls and darted about the sprawling playground. The entire school was engrossed in play — except for the small group

of students gathered in Room 15. It wasn’t detention or study hall. It was the weekly meeting of the Green Team, led by volunteer Theuerkauf mom Sharon Gloster. Every Tuesday, nine fifth-graders willingly give up their lunch recess to learn about conservation and think up ways to get their fellow students, as well as Theuerkauf parents, to adopt more eco-friendly practices. On this day, Gloster, along with fifth-grade teacher and Green Team co-chair Lynn Moorehead, were making plans for a special assembly to be held April 21, the day before Earth Day. The students were going over their role in the upcoming assembly and eating lunch. Juan Arias, one of the Green Team fifth-graders, said he often reminds his friends to recycle and

reuse what they can. Teaching his friends how to conserve, he said, makes him feel “good and warm inside.” “I wanted to help the school recycle and use less waste,” said Sami Jones, another Green Team member. “I think that we need to get more people to start helping the earth and caring more.” These are exactly the types of sentiments Gloster wants to nurture in the Green Team. She hopes these children will spread their ideals to friends and family, she said. “Reading, writing, bike riding, swimming and taking care of the Earth,” Gloster said, lumping the conservationist ethos in with the other basic lessons of childhood. “If you get yourself programmed early on, you just don’t think twice about it. We want their habits to

be oriented toward saving and conserving right off the bat. This is their Earth.” At the April 21 assembly, students of every grade at Theuerkauf gathered to watch teachers dressed as polar bears act in a skit intended to show how climate change is disrupting the habitat of animals living in the Arctic. The students were also given yellow booklets filled with “Cool the Earth Action Coupons” that can be cashed in for rewards if they are brought back to school signed by a parent. Each coupon represents the completion of a green task, like biking to school instead of driving, waiting until the dishwasher is full before running it, taking shorter showers and packing lunches with reusable containers. Students win trading cards emblazoned with green-themed characters and occasionally a card that can be redeemed for a bigger prize. “The goal is to collect them all,” Gloster said. Every coupon gets

entered into the lottery drawing for the grand prize. Because the tasks on the coupons often require a parent’s supervision — elementary-aged students aren’t generally in charge of running the washing machine or adjusting the thermostat, Gloster observed — parents inevitably get drawn in to the conservation game. “That’s the good thing about the coupons — it forces the families and the parents to get involved with the campaign,” she said. “Really, kids can only do so much.” The coupon booklets, along with the trading cards and other prizes — even the script for the play and the polar bear costumes that the teachers wore at the assembly — were all provided for free by Cool the Earth, a Marin-based, non-profit organization founded in 2007. Cool the Earth receives funding from public agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, as well as from other sustainability oriented organizations, like the Conservation Corps North Bay and The Climate Project. Jenny Jedeikin, director of communications for Cool the Earth, said about 160 schools — most of them in the Bay Area — have implemented their Action Coupons program. In addition to developing school programming, Cool the Earth has worked with Wells Fargo and the Girl Scouts. “We are inspiring kids and their families to take actions to decrease their carbon emissions to combat climate change,” Jedeikin said. She seconded Gloster’s observation that children are often the most effective catalyst of change in the behavior of parents. “When kids become inspired to make changes they are actually a very behavior-changing mechanism within a family.” V

-PDBM/FXT MOBILE SURGERY Continued from page 1

Weighing in at about 40 tons and measuring 85 feet in length, a massive big rig parked its 18 wheels behind El Camino Hospital on April 25. Inside the 1,200-square-foot trailer, there was a small screening room and a larger demonstration floor. Doctors were invited to come to the “mobile operating truck,” watch an orientation video and then move into the next room to try the Covidien SILS technology hands-on. The El Camino demonstration is just one of 90 stops the Covidien Innovation Tour will be making in cities across the country, according to Chuck Flora, regional manager for the surgical technology company. Single-incision laparoscopy had been considered impossible by many medical professionals as recently as four years ago, and many surgeons remain skeptical about the practicality of operating through one tiny opening. But, as Flora tells it, the technique is not only possible, it is the wave of the future. Traditional laparoscopy, the predecessor to single-incision, required multiple incisions to be made up and down a patient’s torso, to allow doctors access to internal organs from various angles. The new technology, however, allows for a much broader range of motion — all through a single entry point in a patient’s belly button. The SILS multiple-

instrument access port, a round plug that is inserted into the belly button incision, has three holes arranged like the grips of a bowling ball. These allow for the insertion of the laparoscopy instruments, which have been improved, and allow doctors to move small scissors and grabbers a full 360 degrees around, as well as up, down and side-to-side slightly more than 180 degrees. Both patients and doctors are fans of the technique, Flora said, for a variety of reasons. “The patients like it because the cosmetic effects are that it looks like you didn’t have surgery,” Flora said. “We’ve also heard from surgeons that there is faster recovery time and perhaps less pain associated with the procedure.” Dr. Patricia Rogers, a gynecologist and surgeon practicing at El Camino, said she was dubious of the claims made in the invitation she received to the Covidien truck. “I couldn’t believe you could do surgery through one incision,” Rogers said. “The angles didn’t sound like they would work.” After working with the instruments, however, Rogers said she is convinced. She is planning on making some time to train with the technology and may start performing SILS procedures herself. Rogers agreed with Flora that patients usually prefer fewer incisions, as it means fewer scars. “But what people have to remember is that they have just had a big organ removed,” and just because things look good on the outside, doesn’t necessarily

mean they can jump right off the operating table and go on a 10-mile hike. She added, that while doctors generally want to please their patients, laparoscopy “has a pretty steep learning curve. Nobody likes a steep learning curve.” If Rogers had her druthers, she said all surgeries would be wideopen surgeries, where visibility is better and the chance of error is lower. However, Dr. Homero Rivas, assistant professor of minimally

he worst-case scenario is unfolding now for those who want to preserve Hangar One. Last week, a U.S. Navy contractor began to remove the toxic siding or “skin” of the 200-foot tall hangar in a project that will last into the new year. When complete, it will leave the Hangar’s massive and well-preserved skeleton exposed to the elements, at least until money is found to install new siding, a job that could cost up to $32.8 million based on what President Obama put in NASA’s budget for next year. But it is not clear that Congress will approve any Hangar One funding for next year, given the budget-cutting battles being waged between the president and the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. If allowed to go uncovered, it would be a sad end to this noble structure, which serves as a landmark for Moffett Field and is visible for miles in any direction. Preservationists have long worried about leaving the hangar’s skeleton exposed for an extended period. Bill Wissel, of the Moffett Field Historical Society, told the Voice last week: “Without the protective siding, the structure will be exposed to the elements and will begin to deteriorate pretty quickly,” bringing up the issues of visual blight and safety concerns. He fears that it would not be long before “public opinion shifts N LETTERS

VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY

COMBINING TRAINS IS A BAD IDEA The plan advanced by Rep. Anna Eshoo, state Sen. Joe Simitian and Assemblyman Rich Gordon to run high-speed rail trains from San Jose to San Francisco on Caltrain tracks is woefully misguided. It is fatally flawed due to severe safety, operational, and engineering problems. If, in their words, they really want high-speed rail “to be able to connect and interface in a seamless fashion with local transit systems,” then there is only one solution, and it is not theirs. There must be no high-speed rail trains on Caltrain tracks because they are dangerously incompatible with present trains and at-grade road crossings. High-speed rail should, at best, end in San Jose and its passengers transfer to existing Caltrain Baby Bullet trains for trips up and down the Peninsula. Why? That is why Caltrain built the baby bullets — for fast transportation from San Jose to San Francisco within the safe speed limits of Caltrain tracks. Now that is seamless — and safe. This obvious solution would preserve the safe rail and automobile transport status quos on the Peninsula and also obviate the need

for crazy and destructive decisions, such as closing Castro Street and other vital at-grade Peninsula Caltrain crossings. For seamless integration and safety and cost control, it’s a no-brainer. William R. Hitchens Sunnyview Lane

HIGH-SPEED TRAINS NOT SUITED FOR CALTRAIN CORRIDOR The high-speed rail proposal by Rep. Anna Eshoo, state Sen. Joe Simitian, and Assemblyman Rich Gordon is narrowly directed at avoiding lawsuits from the city of Palo Alto and wealthy Atherton residents, and fails to address the fundamental problem with the current high speed rail design. The fundamental problem is that the current Southern Pacific right-of-way going straight through the downtowns of all the small midPeninsula cities is not well suited to the way the major transportation corridors have developed since it was originally established in the mid-1800s. Building a high-speed rail line there, or even simply upgrading Caltrain within the current rightof-way, will not address the prob-

and there will be an outcry for complete demolition. That’s the ‘demolition by neglect’ concern that everybody has been voicing for the past few years.” Indeed, anyone concerned about saving Hangar One has seen it ‘die by a thousand cuts’ in recent years. Most buildings inside the hangar have been destroyed, while the historically significant “cork room,” which was used to store the USS Macon’s fragile helium cells back in the 1930s, has been only partially preserved. One recent concession stands out: The Navy announced in March that it was working with NASA to keep the hangar’s unique wire-reinforced corrugated windows in place while the siding is removed. The deal is not final, but it is hoped the Navy can work around the windows, which were designed to withstand the explosion of a 1930s airship filled with hydrogen. In better economic times it would be difficult, but not impossible, for the local Congressional delegation to find federal funding to preserve this historic hangar. Today, we’re not so sure. But we hope that somehow, whether through a major government grant or a generous gift from a local corporation or philanthropist, funds will materialize to prevent this iconic structure from wasting away. It is far too important to meet such an ignoble fate. lems of impact on the cities’ downtowns, lack of integration with other transportation modes, and lack of space for a mid-Peninsula station of the magnitude needed for the high-speed rail line. The basic design needs to be revisited from the start. An alternate design, such as along the Highway 101 corridor, would result in a better integrated system with much better services. Building on an elevated viaduct over parts of the freeway — the cheapest option and the one most favored by the California High Speed Rail Authority — would raise fewer issues than along the current route. Integration with air hubs at San Francisco and San Jose airports would be much easier, and a large, multi-service mid-Peninsula station could be built at Moffett Field, where there is plenty of land adja-

cent to 101, and parking, traffic, and integration with light rail would be much less of an issue than in a midPeninsula city downtown. Maintaining the current rightof-way merely avoids the land acquisition problem rather than solving it, since even if the rail line is kept to the current right-of-way, additional land will be needed for a mid-Peninsula station, to say nothing of the impact of a viaduct or grade-separated line on the downtowns of the mid-Peninsula cities. Rather than accepting this weak compromise, the mid-Peninsula cities should insist that the California High Speed Rail Authority return to the basic requirements, and design a system that fits the Peninsula as it is today, rather than as it was in the mid-1800s.

Do-it-yourself dining GINSENG BBQ & TOFU OFFERS DINNER AND A SHOW FOR DINERS WHO LIKE TO PLAY CHEF By Ruth Schechter

Beef bi bim bob at Ginseng BBQ & Tofu is sizzling purple rice topped with vegetables and meat and crowned with an egg.

or those of you who still like to play with your food, I have a socially acceptable suggestion: Go Korean. Ginseng BBQ & Tofu allows you to cook your own food on a gas grill fitted right into the table. It’s all very civilized — a server brings you your platter of marinated meat, chicken or pork, and you and your party can take it from there. Of course, there are several selections in which the kitchen does the preparation. But there’s something about cooking over a hot grill that makes food taste better, and the whole process is

pretty entertaining. Ginseng has a modern vibe: Walls are colored cinnabar and mustard, and the high ceilings are networked with oversized industrial stainless steel vents. Centered in each table are two stainless grill covers (the circular one is no longer used as the menu has changed since the restaurant opened in 2008). While the dinner menu is not especially long, there is a good variety of different cuts of meat to sample, from pork belly to short ribs and brisket. After you place your order the server uncovers the grill and turns up the heat. Within minutes, the meat is ready to sizzle. That means that

-PDBM/FXT heaping platter of beef bulgogi ($13) or chicken bulgogi ($13) gets prepared just the way you like it — unless you get distracted from your duties and forget to move things around with your chopsticks. Generally your meal stays fresh and literally hot off the grill. Bulgogi is thinly sliced meat marinated in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chili, sugar and green onions. While the big appeal at Ginseng is the hands-on approach to dinner, most dishes can also be prepared and brought out bubbling on a cast-iron skillet. For variety, we ordered the pork golgogi ($12) from the kitchen and enjoyed the simple, spicy preparation almost as much as our own efforts. The tofu soup ($10) was a generous cauldron of flavorful broth still actively boiling and loaded with chunks of silken tofu and mushrooms. Be warned about spice levels: We were relieved we settled for mild heat since even the sissy level had a lot of zing. Be sure to try the seafood pajun ($10) a delectable egg pancake studded with scallions, shrimp and vegetables. Served on a bamboo steamer, it was crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and

one of the table’s favorite dishes. Meals are served with an assortment of small dishes known as banchan, which can be used as condiments or eaten as snacks. While the selection was colorful — theoretically these dishes are supposed to cover the gamut of flavors and textures — ours tended to be bland and added little to the meal. Our little dishes of dipping sauces, fish cake, kimchee, broccoli, mung sprouts and potatoes were largely left untouched. Servings are very generous, and most of the golgogi must be

However, because of the layout of the grill, people on one side of the table will be saddled with doing most of the cooking unless you are friendly enough to skip good manners and just start reaching across the table.

Lu Hugdahl of Mountain View opened up a safe deposit box at a bank in Los Altos in November of 2006. Two years later she went to open her safe deposit box and was horriďŹ ed to discover four or ďŹ ve rings and three necklaces missing. On a police report she estimated two of the rings were worth approximately $1,500.00, “one being a keepsake from a cherished friend who passed awayâ€?, as reported by the Los Altos Town Crier.

The pork lunch box ($6.95) is an oversized bento with compartments for deeply seasoned bits of pork, purple rice, an iceberg salad, tasty jap chae (cellophane noodles stirfried in sesame oil) and one cold, dry and inedible dumpling. Service was attentive initially, and our server was very patient about explaining the nuances of Korean cooking to the ignorant. However once the table started

to get loaded up, we were pretty much left on our own. Our water glasses remained unfilled, our dishes uncleared, and we had to almost beg for our check. C’mon. Just because I’m doing the cooking doesn’t mean I want to be ignored.

N MOVIEREVIEWS

AFRICAN CATS --1/2

(Century 16, Century 20) “African Cats” unfolds on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where the filmmakers seemingly trailed a pride of lions and a coalition of cheetahs. The story focuses on lion cub Layla getting steadily schooled in “the circle of life” (by film’s end, new cubs have arrived), cheetah “single mother” Sita raising a litter of five, and savanna “king” Fang ruling the pride with tough but regal authority. Kids would doubtlessly learn more watching basic cable, but the spectacle is what it is, and the big screen adds majesty to it, enhanced by IMAX-style helicopter shots and bigger-than-life slo-mo of “the fastest creature on land — a cheetah.” Rated G. One hour, 29 minutes. — P.C.

ARTHUR -1/2

(Century 20) Russell Brand assumes the role of booze-guzzling playboy Arthur Bach, heir to a seemingly endless fortune. Even Arthur’s lifelong nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), can’t coax maturity out of the reckless lush. Arthur’s mother (Geraldine James) threatens to cut him off unless he agrees to marry Susan Johnson (Jennifer Garner), the power-hungry daughter of a developer (Nick Nolte). Arthur reluctantly goes along with his mother’s wishes but secondguesses himself when he falls for aspiring writer Naomi (Greta Gerwig). What’s an alcoholic spendthrift to do? And, more importantly, do you care? Rated PG-13 for some drug references, sexual content, alcohol use throughout and language. 1 hour, 45 minutes. — T.H.

RIO --

(Century 16, Century 20) “Rio” starts in the Brazilian rainforest, where baby Blu gets shanghaied by pet-trading smugglers. The blue macaw grows up as the pet of Minnesotan bookstore owner Linda (Leslie Mann), who — like Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) — lives comfortably off the social radar. That all changes with the arrival of Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), a Rio-based bird scientist who has traveled across the globe to ask Linda to bring Blu home to mate with the last female of their kind: If Linda doesn’t agree, Blu’s particular species will go extinct. A nervous Blu must shake a tailfeather on a blind date with restless parrot Jewel (Anne Hathaway). Human smugglers again intervene, with white cockatoo Nigel (Jemaine Clement) doing their dirty work. Attracted opposites Blu and Jewel gradually learn to see eye to eye over the course of their vertiginous adventures. Rated G for mild offcolor humor. One hour, 36 minutes. — P.C.

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS ---

(Century 16, Century 20). Told in a flashback, Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is a young Cornell veterinary science student. After receiving tragic news, he hops aboard a train in the darkness of the night and awakens to the world of the struggling Benzini Brothers traveling circus. The spectacle dazzles him, but he soon learns about the tawdry reality behind the sequined illusion and enters a forbidden love affair with the cruel ringmaster’s wife Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Rated: PG-13 for moments of intense violence and sexual content. 2 hours. — S.T.
