more accustomed to recording his songs in front of a camera in his bedroom, Gospe found that keeping himself stationary and his pitch as precise as possible was demanding. “You can’t move your head away from the microphone and you can’t breathe into it in cer-

City to create paid parking downtown RESIDENT PERMITS, PAID LOTS TO HANDLE DEMAND ON LEVI’S STADIUM EVENT DAYS By Daniel DeBolt

ing lots, and to ticket drivers who park on nearby residential streets without a permit. It is estimated that 500 to 600 drivers will park in Mountain View and take light rail to the 49ers’ new stadium in Santa Clara, since the VTA promises to run a large number of express

light rail trains to events and stadium parking will be limited and expensive. There are now 17 events scheduled through April 2015 on weekends and weeknights. Expected parking demands have also forced the city’s huge farmers market to move to a new

Council members voted 6-1 in favor of the one-year pilot program, which institutes a three-hour time limit during event days for parking in the neighborhoods surrounding the train station, including the Jackson Street and Willowgate Street neighborhoods north of the expressway, and downtown Mountain View out to Shoreline Boulevard, Calderon Avenue and

El Camino Real. Households in those areas will each be given two free permits allowing them to park as long as they like on residential streets in the area, and more may be available with proof of residency and a good reason, city staff said.

An unruly passenger was arrested in Mountain View after she physically assaulted two Caltrain conductors Saturday night, a Caltrain spokeswoman said Sunday. At about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report that a rowdy passenger had physically assaulted two train conductors on a southbound train, Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said. Deputies arrived at the station and learned that a female passenger had been acting drunkenly and yelling profanities while aboard the train. When train conductors asked the passenger to quiet down, she refused, according to Dunn. The conductors then asked the passenger to get off the train at the San Antonio Station. When the passenger exited the train and reached the platform, she swung her bag at a female conductor, striking her in the head several times, Dunn said. A male conductor then approached the passenger and he was also assaulted in the same way, according to Dunn. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Mountain View resident Maria Posada-Valderrama, was transported to a hospital for an evaluation before being booked into Santa Clara County Jail for the felonies, assault with a deadly weapon and assault on transit personnel, the Caltrain spokeswoman said. Dunn said the train was stopped for almost 30 minutes before service resumed toward San Jose. The female conductor was later transported to a hospital for a head injury she sustained as a result of the assault. She has since been released, according to Dunn. Bay City News Service

Fighting summer hunger THREE SITES IN MV PROVIDE MEALS TO LOCAL YOUTH WHILE SCHOOL’S OUT By Kevin Forestieri

S MICHELLE LE

WhatsApp is slated to move into this new building at Villa and Bryant streets. The developer provoked upset when he proposed changing a ground-floor cafe space into an employee break room.

City delays decision on WhatsApp building DEVELOPER SEEKS TO USE GROUND-FLOOR SPACE, SLATED FOR RETAIL OR RESTAURANT USE, AS EMPLOYEE BREAK ROOM By Daniel DeBolt

O

n June 25, Zoning Administrator Gerry Beaudin delayed approval of an office developer’s controversial request to allow Facebook-owned WhatsApp to put an employee break room in a space originally slated for a cafe, shop or restaurant. After public outcry over the request, architect Bud Kobza requested the delay, as his group was “taken by surprise that the item was removed

from the consent calendar” and made a public discussion item at the meeting. “We need a little more time to prepare ourselves,” he said. City staff have yet to announce the date of the next meeting on the request. Several residents attended the 4 p.m. meeting on June 25 to oppose the request that the 932-square-foot ground-floor space on the corner of Villa and Bryant streets be used as break room, which would mean removing what they said was

a major selling point for the controversial project: a pedestrian-friendly cafe space on the ground floor. Developer Roger Burnell said that in over a year and a half of seeking a tenant for the space, “we didn’t receive a single offer from a coffee shop or coffee shop chain, and we went to all of them. It was considered, one, too large for that kind of location not along a thoroughfare. Two, the parking wasn’t See WHATSAPP, page 10

ummer may give kids a few months of reprieve from homework, math problems and essays, but for many students it means losing two daily meals. With a continued school food program through July and nonprofits hosting summer food programs, however, the local community is taking steps to keep kids from going hungry. Last year, nearly 2,000 students in the Mountain View Whisman School District qualified for free or reduced lunch — 41 percent of the student population. Tom Myers, executive director of Community Services Agency, said this causes a real problem during the summer months. “It’s a huge problem,” Myers said. “We have kids who depend on those free and reduced lunches, and it’s an increasing hardship for families.” The school district is offering free breakfast and lunch through July 25 at Castro Elementary School. The program will help kids who rely on school meals throughout the school year, but is open to anyone under 18 years old. The district’s summer lunch program serves 400 meals each day — up from last year, according to Terese McNamee, chief business officer for the school district. The uptick is still down from

meals served in 2008, however, when the district hosted summer food programs at two sites — Graham Middle School and Castro. At the time, the district provided 600 meals a day. The district downsized the summer school program in 2009 to cut costs, leaving only one summer food site. And that one site is open for only an hour for each meal, starting at 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. But there are other options. Cindy McCown, vice president of programs and services at Second Harvest Food Bank, said there are two other summer meal sites for youth in Mountain View that are open through Aug. 15: the YMCA camp at Monta Loma Elementary and the Moffett Clubhouse, which also have food available to kids 18 or younger. McCown said these are “open sites,” meaning that anyone can get food there regardless of whether they’re enrolled in on-site programming. Despite the limited locations and hours, McCown said the city’s food services have “pretty good coverage” thanks to yearround pantry programs like CSA’s Food and Nutrition Center.

City finds new police chief in-house CAPT. MAX BOSEL TO TAKE OVER MOUNTAIN VIEW POLICE DEPARTMENT IN AUGUST By Kevin Forestieri

A

fter weeks of searching, City Manager Dan Rich announced Friday that Max Bosel will take the place of Scott Vermeer as Mountain View’s police chief. Bosel, who now is a captain, has worked at the department for almost 20 years. He joined the force in 1995 after six years with the Millbrae Police Department. He rose to the rank of captain in 2007, and has since served as an interim deputy police chief and

interim assistant city manager. A resident of Mountain View, Bosel received a bachelor’s degree in Max Bosel m a n a ge me nt from Saint Mary’s College, and a master’s degree in public administration from Notre Dame de Namur University. He is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy. Bosel will assume his new posi-

tion on Monday, August 4, with a salary of $242,000 — roughly the same as Vermeer’s current salary. Among other things, Bosel has worked as a patrol officer, a training sergeant and a detective, and has spent 10 years on the SWAT team. He said of those positions, detective work was the most challenging — and the most interesting. Fol low i ng Ve r me e r’s announcement that he would See POLICE CHIEF, page 14

need to pay an attendant for a permit or possibly buy one online. Stadium-goers are expected to have to pay $10, unless Caltrain raises its parking fees, which would trigger the city to match the Caltrain rate. Most downtown residents supported the program but a few were opposed to having to get permits to park in front of their own homes. “My mother is 94 years old and caregivers come and go,” said one resident. “Birthday parties, anniversary parties, any family gathering, we’d have to plan so far in advance. Why should we suffer?” Council members said residents might suffer even more with stadium attendees parking in front of their homes. Council member Mike Kasperzak defended the pilot program as a way to protect downtown residents. The council had proposed it only two weeks earlier, causing city staff to scramble to put it together. Some residents said they prefer the city manager’s previously proposed “wait and see” approach, reserving several downtown lots for unlimited parking, in case it turned out that there wouldn’t be much demand for downtown parking. Resident Steve Sommerstein said it was “a slide towards paid parking for everyone,” which Kasperzak has advocated for the downtown area in the past. Member John Inks opposed the one-year pilot program after criticizing its impacts on the city budget. City staff said in order for the program to pay for itself, it would require charging a $25 parking fee. Revenue generated by 500 cars at $10 a car would be $50,000, though some downtown garage revenue has to be shared with other local government agencies in a deal created by the ending of the downtown revitalization authority, a special tax district. Costs for the $85,000 program will be split between downtown parking district revenues and general fund reserves. That includes the cost of signs and paying attendants to collect fees at downtown parking lots.

substantial and that would allow us to be around for quite a long time,” Rasmussen said. Grehl had previously said any further delays would kill the project, but was amenable when members voted 6-0 to delay the project and to study a compromise for more housing. It would remove one of two proposed sixstory office buildings and replace it with what city staff said might be 115 housing units within the same footprint.

Inks can’t vote Council member John Inks had to leave the dais — the California Fair Political Practices Commission said that, even under new conflict of interest rules, Inks must continue to recuse himself from the project. Inks owns property within 500 feet of the San Antonio precise plan area, but Merlone Geier representatives sought a clarification of the rules in hopes that Inks could vote on the project. The FPPC determination was made just an hour before the meeting, clearing up confusion and concern that Inks would be a swing vote to approve an unpopular iteration of the project. Housing needs Residents of the 330 apartments in the first phase of Merlone Geier’s development spoke in favor of phase two, but most people who packed the meeting called attention to the area’s housing shortage and how adding as many as 2,500 office workers to the city in the two proposed office buildings would speed up the area’s gentrification. “There are a lot of beautiful things about this project, then there’s this jobs-housing imbalance thing, and I can’t not think

MICHELLE LE

about that,” said Edie Keating of Peninsula Interfaith Action. “The jobs-housing imbalance distorts so many things in our community. It creates traffic jams and it breaks up families. In our church we see young folks and retirees leave our area. Communities are being broken up by this jobs-housing imbalance. It affects everyone, whether you are a renter or a homeowner. You’ve got a great project, you need to make it morally right by substituting the office for housing.” The group leading the effort to remove office space and add housing to the project isn’t satisfied with the compromise proposed by Mayor Chris Clark to replace only half of the office space with housing. Merlone Geier said that removing all of the office space and replacing it with housing would trigger a lengthy delay to study the impacts and comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. “We would like more than the compromise offers,” said Lenny Siegel of the Campaign for a Balanced Mountain View.

“There are still too many jobs proposed.” Referendum threat Siegel said that the group has yet to decide on a way forward, but said in an email that it seemed “unlikely” that a referendum petition would be circulated to gather over 3,400 signatures to put the project up for a public vote. The group had planned to put a referendum on the ballot if the project is approved before the San Antonio precise plan comes up for discussion to consider housing and other needs for the San Antonio area. Grehl touted the $7 million in public benefits that would come with the Merlone Geier project, including a protected bike lane along California Street, a $300,000 monument to the birthplace of Silicon Valley at 391 San Antonio Road, new bike lanes on San Antonio Road and $750,000 toward a pedestrian tunnel under Central Expressway at the San Antonio train station, to which other developers in the area would contribute, according to Plan-

ning Director Randy Tsuda. Grehl added that the project would bring $2.5 million to the city in the form of property taxes and sales tax revenue. An estimate of how much revenue would be created if the project were killed was not included; Merlone Geier has said it would alternatively build a two-story, 175,000-square-foot retail project along the southern half of the site, which the council had already approved with phase one several years ago. There would also be $5.3 million in belowmarket-rate housing fees, which council members said would pay for only about six subsidized homes for low-income residents. “I want Mountain View to stay a diverse community,” said resident Joan Bradovsky. “The only way to increase housing is to build it. Even if you build more and it’s not affordable, at least it would take some pressure off (older housing stock). I hope you do that, you have the authority to do so.” “While I benefit from the housing-jobs imbalance on paper, I just think it’s wrong,” said longtime resident and homeowner Paul Davis, referring to how his property value is rising. “I agree it’s a moral issue. The city has failed to address the housing-jobs imbalance and that’s something I urge you to do ... so that our community can be whole.” Council members said they wished residents had been such advocates for controversial housing projects that they scaled back or killed in the past following public opposition, and they encouraged the public to continue their advocacy for housing. They said they would finish making most major decisions on the San Antonio precise plan — including whether to make housing a higher priority — at a July 8 study session to be held at the Senior Center.

Foothill grad earns degree entirely online By Chris Kenrick

COURTESY AMY BETH SISSON

Seen Around Town Mountain View fire fighters put out a car fire on Saturday, June 28, at Loreto Drive after being called at about 8:30 p.m. by the car’s driver. The driver had heard the car make an unusual noise, and reported that, upon pulling over, the car began to smoke. No injuries were reported. Voice reader Amy Beth Sisson spotted the flames and sent in this photo.

Berkeley-bound student who earned his associate’s degree entirely online is among nearly 1,000 students who graduated from Foothill College June 27. From his home in Mendocino — or occasionally sitting in a Mendocino café or library — James Sommermann completed 23 online classes in music, English, statistics, Spanish, psychology, anthropology and geology. He will enter the University of California at Berkeley this fall with hopes of double majoring in music and English. Foothill offers all-online associate’s degrees in 18 subjects as well as an array of all-online “certificates of proficiency.” College officials said they have no way to track the number of students earning all-online degrees but that online classes accounted for about 27 percent of last quarter’s enrollment. Many students take a combination of traditional classes and online classes. But Sommermann needed to stay close to home in Mendocino, where he’s been helping with driving and house-

hold chores for a family member who has health problems. “I’m not going to say it’s ideal because I’d rather go to in-person classes to be honest, but it was really just not possible for me at that point,” he said. He’d never taken an online class before enrolling at Foothill and said he first considered it “kind of a weird idea.” He stumbled on Foothill — which he’d never heard of before — while helping a friend search for an online music class. Then he decided to try it himself. “I ended up really enjoying it, for the most part,” he said. Over 18 months as a Foothill student Sommermann met “very few” of his professors in person but “talked to them a lot through email,” he said. While he missed the camaraderie of in-person classes, he said professors tried to make up for it by welcoming electronic contact. “They return emails very quickly and they encourage you to communicate with them,” he said. “If you don’t understand something you ‘talk’ to them. Some of them you get to know pretty well — at least as well as you can know anybody through

email. “A few of them even asked me where I’m transferring to and stuff.” Sommermann “met” his fellow students online, including a partner in a Spanish class with whom he regularly recorded conversations for review by the professor. “You have to record it in real time, so you’re talking over the computer like it’s a phone, or a video chat without the video,” he said. “The professor listens to it and grades it.” In twice-weekly online conversations, Sommermann got acquainted with his Spanish partner online but still could not say where the partner actually, physically lives. “I assume it was close (to Foothill) because I think he took in-person classes too,” Sommermann said. “He works a lot, so that’s why online classes were good for him.” He also used specialized software that enabled him to enter musical notation for assignments in his music theory classes.

Don’t let aging uproot you. COURTESY OF MATHBREAKERS

Two girls play the Mathbreakers video game side-by-side at a Tech Museum event on Sunday.

Learning through gaming INTERACTIVE VIDEO GAME TEACHES KIDS MATH

T

rying to get kids into math, even in the age of STEM, can be like pulling teeth. But a local group is looking to change that with a math-based video game that balances fun and learning. Over the last few years, a team of three self-proclaimed math nerds and gamers has been working on a 3D educational video game that will teach kids math in an entertaining and interesting environment. The team is based in Mountain View and started at Hacker Dojo. Through their recent Kickstarter campaign, the Mathbreakers team hopes to tap into local Bay Area classrooms with a game they call immersive, addicting and educational. Charlie Van Norman, one of Mathbreakers’ founding members, grew up playing video games. He stayed up late into the night playing interactive games like Half-life and Doom, which were a thrill compared with educational games. He said many standard educational games at the time were more or less interactive worksheets, and in some cases literal worksheets. “I never stayed up till 5 a.m. playing an educational video game,” Norman said. After college, Norman abandoned his career in real estate and started developing an educational math game, which would later become the alpha version of Mathbreakers. He teamed up with Vivian Tan, who dropped her career in law to do game development, along with Morgan Quirk, who had formal training in game design. The game itself is a series of

3D interactive puzzles where players manipulate bubble-like numbers to reach their goal. Tools to change numbers include the division sword, which slices numbers in half, and a “wave gadget,” which multiplies numbers in front of the player. But players have to watch out for “spikey balls,” enemies with a set numerical value that actively pursue and sabotage the player’s numbers and can be vanquished only when the player zeros them out. “The game teaches you that the better you are at math, the more powerful you are,” Norman said. “And as you get powerful, you start getting bigger numbers.” Based on the feedback from kids who played Mathbreakers, Norman said they’re going to try to add a cooperative mode for the game so they can play with and help each other. He said he also wants to add a “versus” mode where kids can duke it out with numbers — which some teachers are a little less thrilled about. He said it would be great to lose against someone not because they’re better at video games, but because they’re better at math. Teaching math through a video game has some advantages. Norman said it’s a lot easier to represent ideas and mathematical concepts with visuals in a 3D environment than in a textbook. For example, there are hoops in the game that multiply or divide numbers that go through them, depending on which direction they went in. Norman said these hoops are a visual representation that multiplication and division are the inverse of one another, and one operation can undo the other.

It wasn’t always easy, though. Tan said one of the harder concepts to represent was rotations, degrees and radians, which they tried to do with pies. Unfortunately the word play between pi and pie was a real pitfall, and the more they distanced themselves from pie analogies the easier things became. Mathbreakers is currently designed for second- through sixth-grade math, but Norman said they encourage kids to move freely around depending on their progress. They plan to expand the game into higherlevel math, and won’t shy away from adding things like collegelevel calculus. The game is split up into lessons where every interaction is aligned with the new Common Core State Standards for math. Norman said they’re in the process of adding a feature that will adjust the difficult and make “smart” adjustments based on how the player is performing, similar to computer-adapted testing for Common Core. Norman said they hope to get Mathbreakers into classrooms across the Peninsula, and have contacted school districts in Redwood City, Los Altos and Santa Clara. While there were only a few uninspired educational games in the past, Norman said the landscape is very different today. He said the game development industry is in the early stages of a boom in educational games, with new programs being developed every day and math games comparable to Mathbreakers raking in millions of downloads.

harlie Weidanz, longtime head of the Bay Area YMCAs, will take the helm of Palo Alto nonprofit Abilities United, the organization has announced. Weidanz began his new position as executive director on June 30, replacing Lynda Steele, who officially retired the same day after serving as executive director since 1993. The organization helps children and adults with developmental and other disabilities in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties to live independently and to gain community acceptance. Weidanz brings more than 30 years of nonprofit leadership experience to the job, having served as the executive director at organizations across the United States. He spent 24 years as executive director of Bay Area and East Coast YMCAs. He has a personal passion for supporting those with disabilities, and has been an innovator in inclusive programs throughout his life, Abilities United’s board of directors said in a statement.

adequate for drive-by or pull-in parking. Three, is the concern of parking congestion in that area.” He added that it was written into the project’s conditions that he could pay fees to get out of the requirement. Downtown resident Max Hauser, who pens a newsletter on the local restaurant scene, said over that same year and a half, more than 17 new restaurants, cafes and tea shops had opened downtown. “Half of these 17 are similar or smaller-sized properties to what we have here,” Hauser said. “I have a hard time crediting the argument that there is a lack of tenants of this kind. I also feel that the owner of a property like this, in setting terms of occupancy, has some control of the

“We are thrilled to have someone as experienced as Mr. Weidanz to take over leadership of the agency,” said Karen Moore, president of the board of directors. “His non-profit leadership skills, expertise in programmatic areas for children and adults, including aquatic services, and demonstrated commitment to Charlie inclusion, are a Weidanz great match for Abilities United.” Weidanz’s immediate areas of focus will include continuation of future redevelopment plans and the completion of the organization’s “United for the Future” fundraising campaign, which is currently underway, Moore said. As a senior executive, primarily with the YMCA, Weidanz has worked in a variety of communities including Milpitas, San Francisco, New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He prides himself in creating a collaborative culture at all levels, according to the statement. His

skills include financial management, fund development, program creation and execution, and staff development, the statement reads. “This highly respected agency and the passion and commitment of the staff, volunteers, donors and partners greatly impress me,” Weidanz said in a statement. “I am excited to build on Abilities United’s strong foundation and to bring my experience to benefit the organization and position it for its future. We will continue to adapt to the growing and emerging needs of our community. “My goal is to further develop and enhance our lifetime of services for people with disabilities, their families, and all community members who can benefit from them. I proudly take the reins as we strive to make Abilities United a lead agency that drives the true inclusion of people of all abilities.” The organization plans to post on its website, abilitiesunited. org, a series of opportunities for the public to meet the new executive director.

situation and in holding up his end of the bargain.” Resident Thida Cornes said Burnell’s proposal of groundfloor retail was “the reason why I didn’t object to the project,” which involved tearing down the historic Pearson House. “I’m basically tired of developers going back on their agreements. I think they are just taking the easy way out because they have a major business moving in that wants a break room.” While city staff originally pushed for the retail space to be included in the project, they recommended approval of Burnell’s request to use the groundfloor space as an employee break room. “This small retail space will improve the pedestrian friendliness of the building,” wrote a city staff member in a July 2012 City Council report for Burnell’s project, which provoked contro-

versy for years because it sought to replace a historic home on the site, and led to fears that it would tower above Chez TJ, the neighboring gourmet restaurant. The report adds that the applicant provided this area, designated a “commercial/restaurant space,” at staff’s request. It also allowed Burnell to have an exemption from providing required parking spaces, according to city documents, which add that “parking in-lieu fees” must be paid if the space is not occupied by commercial, retail or restaurant use. Critics say an increasing amount of ground-floor office development in downtown Mountain View is slowly eating away at what’s considered to be a key component of a vibrant downtown: ground-floor retail space.

Local Whole Foods markets implicated in pricing violations By Sue Dremann

A

statewide investigation of pricing irregularities by Whole Foods Market, including at its Los Altos store, has resulted in an $800,000 court settlement in penalties and investigative costs, according to the Santa Monica District Attorney’s Office, which led the investigation. The city of Santa Monica launched the year-long investigation after the Los Angeles County Department of Weights and Measures reported pricing violations. Consumers were paying for the weight of the packaging as well as the food they purchased when products were weighed, along with other violations, said Adam Radinsky, Santa Monica’s head deputy city attorney. The investigation spread to 10 counties, he said. Santa Clara County Weights and Measures inspectors investigated six stores and found violations in 41 percent of inspections. The stores included Palo Alto, Los Gatos, Campbell, Los Altos, Cupertino and San Jose, said Stan Toy, deputy sealer for the county. Two out of five inspections at the Palo Alto store failed price accuracy, he said. The investigation uncovered widespread pricing violations throughout Whole Foods’ California stores. Inspectors found that Whole Foods was charging more than the advertised price for a wide variety of food items. The problems included failing to deduct the weight of containers when ringing up charges for self-serve foods at the salad bar and hot bar; giving less weight than the amount stated on the label for packaged items sold by the pound; and selling items by the piece instead of by the pound as required by law, such as kebabs and other prepared deli foods, Radinsky said. The statewide investigation began in 2012. Weights and measures departments in San Diego and Los Angeles found the same problems as in the Santa Monica stores. The problem was widespread and involved inconsistency, with one store having one system and another store a different system for tracking measurements, Radinsky said. Attorneys for the three cities filed a civil consumer-protection case against the supermarket

chain on behalf of the People of the State of California. Whole Foods agreed to a five-year court injunction prohibiting all of its 74 California stores from inaccurate pricing, he said. Whole Foods Market California, Inc., which controls the northern California stores, and Mrs. Gooch’s Natural Foods Markets, Inc., in southern California are bound by the judgment. In addition to the injunction, the stores are required to: ■ Appoint two “state coordinators” to oversee pricing accuracy at stores throughout California ■ Designate an employee at every store in the state who will be responsible to ensure pricing accuracy throughout the store ■ Conduct random audits at each of its stores four times per year, to ensure that all prices are accurate and that proper weight is being deducted for all containers ■ Charge accurate prices and provide the advertised weight on all items. The companies will also pay $798,394 in penalties and costs, including $630,000 in civil penalties, $100,000 paid to a statewide weights and measures enforcement trust fund, and $68,394 in investigative costs. “Consumers have a right to accurate pricing and the right to pay for only what they bought,” Radinsky said. By adding the weight of containers and packaging — especially on higher-priced, perpound items like seafood and meats, and even prepared food — the subtracted amount of actual product can add up fast and be hidden from consumers, he said. “If you’re paying $30 a pound for exotic fish, even a handful of ice can put you back a few dollars,” Radinsky said of prepackaged products. The city attorneys’ offices hope the case will serve as a wake-up call to supermarkets and other food retailers to make sure their per-pound charges are accurate, he said. Consumers should always pay close attention to their purchases and make sure the store deducts the weight of all packaging and containers, he added. Inaccurate measurements are a common consumer problem. Some stores don’t know they

to conquer as he recorded “New Horizons,” his first professionally produced extended play (EP). Gospe and his best friend and manager, Riley Soward, are now promoting this seven-track endeavor ahead of its scheduled July 10 release. The prospect of recording the EP came by chance when Gospe and Soward attended the West Coast Songwriter’s Conference at Foothill College last September. At the conference, Soward recognized Mark Mazzetti, the head of Record Company in a Box and an A&R executive. Soward introduced himself to Mazzetti and gave him a copy of “Live at Midnight,” an EP that Gospe recorded live at his home. Mazzetti, who has worked with John Mayer and Elton John, came away impressed by Gospe’s songwriting ability and distinctive voice. “I loved the freshness of the songs and the way he was constructing the songs,” Mazzetti said. “He didn’t sound like anybody else.” Shortly after meeting Soward, Mazzetti contacted Gospe, and they began to discuss the prospect of recording an EP in a professional studio. Gospe and Soward needed $10,000 to make it happen. They turned to Kickstarter, the fundraising web service. “There are

only a couple of paths you can take when you’re 17 years old and you need $10,000,” Gospe said. “Kickstarter seemed very streamlined and seemed like the best way to go.” They raised more than enough funds to record the EP. During the Kickstarter campaign, which ran from early November to early December, Gospe began working with Mazzetti to write lyrics and craft melodies. Over Skype, Mazzetti advised Gospe to try to maintain his personal style and appeal to mainstream listeners at the same time. “It’s a very tough balance to see when you’re just one person, so I’m very grateful that Mark was there to help me with that,” Gospe said. As the Kickstarter campaign reached its conclusion, Mazzetti began helping Gospe arrange the instrumentation of his songs. Gospe’s previous work involved only a guitar and vocals; Mazzetti felt Gospe’s songs could use additional instruments. “We thought he should have a band sound except when he didn’t need it,” Mazzetti said. “Once he wrote those songs, they all seemed to me and Zach and Riley like they needed support.” They occasionally substituted a piano for Gospe’s preferred guitar; Mazzetti felt that change, combined with Gospe’s soft, relatively high-pitched voice, cemented a strong simi-

larity between Gospe’s work and that of what he called “a young Elton John.” The process culminated in February with a week-long recording session in Hollywood, where Gospe, Mazzetti and others finished up the arrangements and recorded Gospe’s vocals along with other instruments. Four months later, Gospe, Soward and Mazzetti have begun to market the EP. Gospe’s work is already gaining notice. Two songs from the EP,

lead single “Whatever Happens” and “Alleyways,” earned airplay on University of California at Berkeley’s official radio station, KALX; the former song, the EP’s lead single, has already received a nomination for Best Pop Song from the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Soward has been pushing to establish a greater online presence for Gospe. “We’re trying to get on as many social platforms as possible and have his music available on as many

streams as possible,” Soward said. He said he hopes Gospe’s EP garners interest from music industry professionals who can provide further opportunities. Gospe recently held an acoustic concert at his house for his Kickstarter donors, briefly touching on his past songs before moving on to new tracks from the EP. Attendees noted the strides Gospe made over the course of his EP’s development and compared him with established stars. “Zach’s new music is livelier, and the meaning of the songs is more apparent,” neighbor Estella Bonifacio said. “He reminds me of a young James Taylor before he lost all his hair.” Others, like Laura Mori, likened his music to that of Jason Mraz. “I think Zach has such an original voice,” Mori said. “I like his songs.” Both Gospe and Soward graduated from Los Altos High School in early June. This fall, Gospe will head to Nashville to attend Tennessee’s Vanderbilt University, more than 1,000 miles away from Soward’s school of choice, Boston College. Gospe and Soward plan to maintain their musician-manager partnership, but they aren’t certain how deeply they’ll pursue careers in the music industry. “A lot of it depends on how well this EP does,” Gospe said. “At this point we’re just going to do as much as we possibly can now and see where it goes.” Gospe’s next performances will be at 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, at Angelica’s Bistro at 863 Main St. in Redwood City, and at 6 p.m Friday, July 25, at the Crowne Plaza hotel at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto.

COUNCIL RACE GETS CROWDED Nine residents have indicated that they will run for the Mountain View City Council this fall, and the official filing period hasn’t even opened yet. After serving eight years on the council, Jac Siegel, Ronit Bryant and Margaret-Abe-Koga will step down due to term limits in December. The election may bring a significant shift on housing policies as the trio was elected during a time when many residents were protesting new housing developments in their neighborhoods, and the three members have often opposed housing development during their terms, including a plan for 1,100 units for Google employees in North Bayshore. As council members noted last week, public opinion has shifted toward a growing concern about gentrification and a lack of housing for the city’s rapidly expanding workforce. In recent weeks three residents have said they’ll join the race: longtime county official Ellen Kamei, attorney Mercedes Salem, and bike and pedestrian committee member Greg Unangst, who has spoken in favor of more housing growth in the city. The filing period for council candidates to officially join the race begins July 14 and ends Aug. 13, which includes the five-day extension for open seats with no incumbent running. Those who previously declared an intent to run include planning commissioners Helen Wolter and Lisa Matichak, human relations commissioner Ken Rosenberg, and former planning commissioner Patricia Showalter. IT administrator James Neal and environmental planning commissioner Margaret Capriles said they will run again after coming up short in the 2012 council election. —Daniel DeBolt

DUI CRACKDOWN Santa Clara County’s Avoid the 13 DUI Task Force and the California Highway Patrol announced plans to crack down on drunken driving over the Fourth of July weekend. The task force will assign so-called “DUI roving saturation patrols” to Mountain View on Saturday, July 5. In addition, the CHP plans to deploy all available officers to every freeway, county road and unincorporated road in the county from 6 p.m. Thursday, July 3, to 12 a.m. Monday, July 7. “This Fourth of July holiday, you can show your patriotism by helping to make the roads of Santa Clara County safer for everyone,” said Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith. “For everyone’s sake, don’t drink and drive or you will be targeted for arrest.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 10,000 people died nationwide in drunkendriving crashes in 2012, accounting for roughly a third of all drivingrelated deaths. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend in 2012, 78 people died in alcohol-related crashes — around 44 percent of crash fatalities during that period. According to statistics from the FBI, over 1.28 million drivers were arrested in 2012 for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is against the law to drive with a blood alcohol concentration above 0.08 in California. —Cooper Aspegren

NASA AMES ‘LIVING MUSEUM’ The NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field will celebrate its 75th anniversary this year with a 17-piece “living museum.” In partnership with the cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale, NASA Ames will put 17 exhibits on display throughout both cities to show off engineering and scientific endeavors from the past and present at the research center. The original aeronautics laboratory was built at Moffett Field in 1939. Named after Joseph Ames, an architect of aeronautical science, the research lab will turn 75 on Dec. 20 this year. The living museum will include CheMin, a chemistry and mineralogy instrument that was used on the Mars rover “Curiosity” to analyze soil samples and look for signs of life, according to a NASA Ames website. The instrument won an award for Invention of the Year in 2013, and will be on display at the Odd Fellows Hall in Mountain View. There will also be a robotic aircraft exhibit at the Tied House and test models of components for a new Space Launch System and crew capsule at the Dana Street Roasting Co. Other locations include Mountain View City Hall, Red Rock Cafe and Yoga Belly. The living museum runs the entire month of July and will be accessible during business hours.

in Mountain View and Los Altos, and receives food from Second Harvest for distribution. Jim Boin, the CSA developmental director, said they provided about 532,000 pounds of food last year to thousands of families through their Food and Nutrition Center. Boin said they get about 800 to 900 people a week, almost 200 a day, coming in for food supplements. The Food and Nutrition Center is a bit more sophisticated than your typical pantry program. Myers said they prioritize high-protein foods such as eggs, milk and cheese to make sure kids are getting enough protein in their diets. “It’s not just handing out a can of peaches and a loaf of broad,� Myers said. The program also includes workshops to teach people about nutrition and healthful eating, including how to shop on a limited budget and how to shop for more healthful foods. Though the program does not cook or serve meals, as the summer food sites do, Boin said they provide recipes for turning the food they’re bringing home into a meal their families will want to eat. Myers said 40 percent of the clients who benefit from the Food and Nutrition Center are children. One of the challenges facing these food programs is outreach. Myers said there are a number of options out there, but people have to know about them first to benefit from them. CSA’s outreach campaign includes its nutrition programs as well as fliers and ads with information to get the word

be stepping down, the city manager’s office looked at internal candidates for a replacement. Bosel said the department’s other two captains had recently been promoted following two retirements, and he had the tenure and experience required to be the next police chief. When Rich offered Bosel the post, Bosel said, he accepted without hesitation. The position, he said, is “both a privilege and an honor.� Bosel said he has big shoes to fill following Vermeer, whom he called an exceptional leader. “Vermeer did an excellent job with administration, and I think we can always improve,� 14

out to as many people as possible. Second Harvest posts a list of locations and addresses for summer meal sites on its website, shfb.org, as well as a “food connection� hotline for people to find out about summer meal programs and pantry programs, and whether they are eligible for food stamps. The toll free number is 1-800-9843663. McCown said Second Harvest is also running a summer initiative to get family doctors and pediatricians, especially in low-income communities, to let their patients know about food service options in the area. McCown said it’s one of the most effective ways to get the word out. Despite the improving economy, the number of people in need of food services remains high. The number of meals served and pounds of food are holding steady from 2008 levels across most food service agencies in Mountain View. “In the Bay Area, we’re rebounding economically, which is a good thing,� McCown said. “But families are still having trouble, especially with rental prices being so high.� According to Boin, the economy is improving, but not for everyone. He said there are still plenty of families in the Bay Area that are living paycheck to paycheck, or are being displaced from their homes because they can’t afford the high cost of living. He said they’re even providing food for people who are using food stamps to bolster their diets. “Anything we can do to contribute,� Boin said. “Every little bit helps.� Email Kevin Forestieri at kforestieri@mv-voice.com

Bosel said. As police chief, Bosel said he will adopt a “collaborative� style of leadership and listen to the men and women in the police force as well as the greater community for input. Vermeer, who spent 12 years as chief of police, announced his retirement from the force earlier this month to become a director at Security Industry Specialists. In an interview following his announcement, Vermeer said the department had a great leadership team to draw from in searching for the next police chief. According to city officials, Bosel has shown exceptional operational and leadership abilities during his career in public safety. E-mail Kevin Forestieri at kforestieri@mv-voice.com

Some people have their picture on it,� he said. Sommermann had to physically travel to the Los Altos Hills campus to take exams — “some of them, not all of them� — and also to participate in a week-long program called Pass the Torch, during which he learned how to tutor fellow students. His stellar performance at Foothill earned him the President’s Medal, the college’s highest academic honor, as well as admission to UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Riverside and San Diego. He chose Cal because it’s not too far from Mendocino and because, he said, “I’ve always kind of wanted to go to Berkeley.� Though he loved his online classes, Sommermann said he can understand the view of skeptics of online learning. “I’ve heard people say you can’t learn the same way online as you can in person, or that it’s easier or something, which I can’t really tell you because I haven’t taken the actual class in person. “Personally I loved (online classes) ... but I could see why

7JFX1PJOU N LETTERS VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY

TWEAK VILLAGE PLAN TO INCLUDE MORE HOUSING Having lived in Mountain View for many years, I’ve watched our city evolve from a nice comfortable place to live, to being bumped around by massive shuttle buses on city streets, to looking at high-rise buildings going up and surrounding our environment. The longtime residents here are constantly talking about the cost of housing, especially for the many new employees of these new companies, seniors, workers who serve us in restaurants, yard maintenance workers, office cleaners, etc. They can’t afford to live here! Where would they live? Perhaps the City Council should rethink their ideas for high-rise apartment buildings with excessive rents and all these new companies. Obviously, we need the precious land we have left to develop, to solve these housing deficiencies in our city. Bigtime developers have swayed our council members and Planning Department with all the wonders they can provide. Do those city workers and elected council members even think of renting apartments for $2,000-plus for a oneroom apartment? Mountain View needs housing for single and married employees, who work for all these companies. In place of the proposed hotel and offices, how

many units could be built in attractive studios with common areas for visiting and socializing? Many of these same employees have meals provided and workout rooms at their workplaces. The San Antonio Center already offers many restaurants and a fitness center, fresh produce, grocery store with pharmacy, hair and nail salons. Reasonably priced studios are a very attractive alternative to what has been proposed. Other economical SROs could be built elsewhere in the city for the many people who take buses, ride bikes to their daily jobs and keep those big beautiful buildings cleaned and landscaping pristine, work in their cafeterias cleaning tables, washing dishes and cleaning restrooms! Wake up, elected council members! Mountain View needs a few SROs to serve our under-served! Perhaps this developer could tweak his plans a bit to leave his footprint as is, but reconfigure the hotel and office units of the two large buildings into attractive studio apartments. This could be an answer to much-needed housing. Before the council votes on Phase II at San Antonio Center, please consider some of these ideas and include them in your precise plan, which also needs immediate attention. Stop the insanity! Kay Boynton Moorpark Way

VILLAGE PROPOSAL REPRESENTS ‘DEVELOPMENT DONE RIGHT’ We have been watching the development of the Village at San Antonio Center. Among other businesses, the Village offers delicious restaurants (such as Pacific Catch and The Counter) and nice amenities (like the dog park). Phase 1 is completed, and they’re hoping to proceed with the next phase, which includes a hotel, movie theaters, offices and more. We think this could work. The buildings are not too high and they are visually appealing. We attended an information session on the next phase, and were impressed with both the details and their concern for the community. We’re not big fans of development, but we do appreciate development done right! Mark and Laura Robichek Sunnyvale

THE VILLAGE: HERE’S WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE I wonder where Susan Hamilton got her information about the San Antonio Phase II project of Merlone Geier Partners (MGP)? The PR department of MGP couldn’t have written a better puff piece. What is missing from her letter to

the editor are some of the not-so-good features of the project. It will significantly increase the building density (FAR) over existing zoning, and will set a precedent for other high-density development. It will bring in about 2,500 employees, with parking for only a small fraction of these, and a few hundred hotel guests, and will provide no additional housing — the 300 apartments in Phase 1 aren’t going to accommodate 2,500 people. The project by itself will degrade the traffic at the El Camino Real/San Antonio intersection to a LOS (level of service) F rating (gridlock), and some of the mitigation measures (improvements to the intersection) will only bring the intersection back to a LOS E rating, but these are cited as “significant public benefits” that are used to justify the higher FAR requested for the project. It also should be clear that MGP never had any intention of accommodating the Milk Pail; it only took MGP leasing 11 parking spaces in their huge parking lot to the Milk Pail, but they are unwilling to take this tiny step to keep the Milk Pail there — they want the land for their own development, having gotten rid of everyone else, and don’t care about a Mountain View institution — they care about how much money they can make from this project.

P

sst. Three-month-old Pizzeria Delfina is popular and noisy. At lunchtime or any night after 6:30 p.m., write your name on the chalkboard out in front and feed your anticipation with a crowd of fellow trendsters. It’s fun to be around so many people having a good time, especially out on the 65-seat patio, where trellises, wisteria, Japanese maples and a wall of ivy cool the summer nights and heat lamps await for chillier weather. If you sit in the sleek 46-seat dining room at peak times, good luck talking. Even outside the noise level can get high, what with lots of children, large celebratory parties and a full liquor license featuring inventive Italian-inspired cocktails. If you are most interested in romance, conversation and wonderful service, mid-afternoon is the ticket. It offers the same menu from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Pizzeria Delfina comes to us from Annie and Craig Stoll, who founded the restaurant Delfina 15 years ago in the newly hip Mission District of San Francisco. They added two Neapolitan-style pizzerias in San Francisco and one in downtown Burlingame before reaching out to Palo Alto. Refreshingly, they treat Palo Alto like a special friend rather than a suburban dolt. It is the only member of the Delfina Restaurant Group with a full bar and the only one with a spacious patio. Everybody gets thin, perfect bread sticks and a little plate with grated Parmesan, red chile flakes

Delfina’s Neapolitan 10-inch pizza crusts have swirly ridges on the bottom, like the Indian flatbread, naan, and puffy edges. The crusts aren’t too thick or too thin. As for toppings, the classic Margherita ($13) sings with a simple tomato sauce. For me, it could use a few more leaves of basil. Know that you need to eat it right away, or the slabs of mozzarella gum up. Same with the 4 formaggi ($14.50). Eight regular pizzas range from the napoletana ($11.75) to the prosciutto pie ($17). There are two daily specials, great choices for vegetarians, and a variety of add-ons from anchovies ($3) to prosciutto ($6). Pizzas are good, but Delfina’s uniqueness comes with its creative use of market vegetables and its salads, thoughtfully composed but not fussy. Try the tuna conserva salad ($10), with fat and creamy butter beans, crisp watercress and meaty housecured tuna. In the same vein, the Monterey Bay calamari and ceci salad ($10) is dominated by garbanzo

Food-friendly wines by the glass start at $8. On a busy evening, pacing was problematic. Green beans came before wine, and were followed too closely by salad and pizza. The hot dishes are better hot. The gelato-based dessert menu features six flavors “made right here,” which means they do run out. We wanted brown butter and mint stracciatella, but cleansed our palates with chocolate and vanilla (two scoops, $5). The front room is long and narrow, lined by blond wood

Exposed beams give the room a more open feel, bright where the previous restaurant in this location, the Empire Tap Room, was dark. Toward the end of the Tap Room’s 21-year-run, the patio was its main draw.

8FFLFOE of life, but can war be averted if people won’t come to terms? As with the previous installment, the film functions as a comingof-age story, with this chapter focused on earning leadership and loyalty through earnest self-improvement. DreamWorks Animation ups the ante visually (under the sharp direction of Dean DeBlois, who also penned the script). The flight scenes are truly wondrous, especially the quieter ones — though scenes of dragon races and high-flying battle are certainly spectacular.

The character acting has also leaped and bounded over the uncanny valley, helping this sequel to be surprisingly emotional. Rated PG for adventure action and some mild rude humor. One hour, forty-two minutes. — P.C.

N MOVIEREVIEWS

THIRD PERSON -Oscar-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis (“Crash”) raises navel-gazing to an art form with “Third Person,” a borderline trashy entry in the genre of global interlocking stories. Those who scoffed at “Crash” will have even more to sniff at here. Haggis also directs and produces. Holding the film’s center is Liam Neeson, as Pulitzer-winning fiction writer Michael. Having recently split with his wife Elaine (Kim Basinger), Michael carries on with journalist Anna (Olivia Wilde) in his Parisian hotel suite, even as he struggles with exploiting the lives of his loved ones (and himself) for his art. In Rome, sarcastic small-time businessman Scott (Adrien Brody) plays the part of ugly American, seeking comfort food at the “Cafe Americano.” There he befriends — or becomes the mark for — a beautiful Roma woman named Monika (Moran Atias), who eventually spills that she’s desperate for cash to ransom her 8-year-old daughter from traffickers. In the New York story, former soap actress Julia (Mila Kunis) takes her last shot at resolving a child custody case hinging on an allegation of child abuse. The father of her 6-year-old child, ex-husband and aspiring artist Rick (James Franco) won’t give an inch to Julia or her sympathetic lawyer Theresa (Maria Bello). Did I mention that Scott and Michael also have (or had?) young children? The stories all rhyme in circumstances and themes, in ways that will drive some viewers up the wall. At times, Haggis’s stylistic choices feel cliched, from the faux-Philip Glass of the opening montage to the slo-mo and Euro-accordion that introduce Monika. But it’s also possible it’s all part of Haggis’s game in a film that immediately begs the question “All right, what is he playing at?” The puzzle-piece structure eventually makes a picture, or at least reveals the gimmick. But the tasteful austerity of style and solid performances can’t overcome a script that stands between emotional humanity and the viewer. Rated R for language and some sexuality/nudity. Two hours, 17 minutes. — P.C.

JERSEY BOYS --1/2

“Jersey Boys” has never been high art. The jukebox musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons ran on hit songs and ample corny shtick in nominally telling the act’s story. Now, it’s all been folded into a

Clint Eastwood film that’s neither theatrical fish nor cinematic foul. John Lloyd Young reprises his Tony-winning role as Valli, the boy with the golden whiny falsetto and the friends who are “bad influences.” Local tough guy Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza) first ropes the 16-year-old into a crime and then into performing with his band. When Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) comes along with a head for musicianship and business, the act reaches a new level. Soon, the Four Seasons — rounded out by Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) — are a sensation. The film, scripted by the playwrights, Marshall Brickman (“Annie Hall”) and Rick Elice, alternates between musical numbers such as “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” and drama that compactly explains the band’s origins, challenges and resolution. The film is least interesting when it feels like an impressionist’s act complete with put-on mook accents and more interesting when it captures the dynamics of a group with strong egos and competing concerns. The “group argument” scenes — one refereed by Joe Pesci (played by Joey Russo), who grew up with the Four Seasons guys, and the other by mobster “Gyp” DeCarlo (Christopher Walken) — offer the clearest signs of life. Lovers of “Jersey Boys” and its music will no doubt appreciate the film, which benefits especially from the practiced performances of Young, Bergen and Lomenda, all veterans of the stage play. It’s unclear whether the corny gloss of the play would have worked any better than Clint’s lower-key grasp at realism (probably not), but there’s a release when Eastwood stages a full-cast curtain call under the closing titles. No movie can’t be improved by Christopher Walken doing a shuffle. Rated R for language throughout. Two hours, 14 minutes. — P.C.

OBVIOUS CHILD --1/2 Aside from every indie filmmaker’s affinity for Paul Simon, the title of “Obvious Child” refers to its heroine, another protagonist suffering from severely arrested development. When in trouble, wine-swilling New York comic Donna Stern (Jenny Slate) habitually crawls into the arms of her best friend Nellie (Gaby Hoffmann) and her gay friend and colleague Joey (Gabe Liedman), or back into the cradle of her funny and supportive dad (Richard Kind) or her micromanaging but loving mother (Polly Draper). When a nice-but-square one-night stand Max (Jake Lacy) knocks up Donna, her trips around her circuit of support intensify. But this is a problem only she can solve, which forces Donna kicking and screaming into a stronger sense of self. “Obvious Child” deserves credit for being just what

it is: an urban romantic comedy that deals matter-of-factly with the situations of pregnancy and abortion. And it’s terrific to see Slate own a film in the starring role (she recently has acquitted herself as the horrific Mona-Lisa Saperstein on “Parks and Recreation”). But “Obvious Child” is just good enough to make you dearly wish it were better. Director Gillian Robespierre announces her lack of preciousness or pretension by laying fart sounds under her credit, but too often she resorts to these jokes. “Obvious Child” has a pleasantly prevailing wryness (Donna schedules her abortion for Valentine’s Day) but few quality jokes (at its best Donna’s stand-up feels like a knockoff of Sarah Silverman). The picture can also be eye-rollingly obvious, as in the packing scene in which Donna literally puts herself in a box. Donna’s choices will naturally be divisive, both on the question of reproductive choice and how she fumbles emotional responses, including to her lingering relationship with the sweetly clueless father. But Robespierre has conceived something you don’t see every day: a feminist rom-com that unapologetically allows its flawed protagonist to let it all hang out. Rated R for language and sexual content. One hour, 24 minutes. — P.C.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 --A good children’s film doesn’t talk down to kids; it tells a story that’s palatable to adults, while serving as training wheels for kids to move on to yet more challenging fare. The animated adventure “How to Train Your Dragon 2” fits this bill. Five years have passed since the events of 2010’s “How to Train Your Dragon,” in which inventive 15-year-old Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) waged peace between his Viking village of Berk and dragonkind, represented by Toothless. Hiccup and Toothless are still joined at the hip, practicing new flying stunts as they explore and map outlying regions. Hiccup still faces pressure from dad Stoick (Gerard Butler), who lovingly wishes for his son to become chief. Then trouble arrives — in the form of dragon trappers who don’t share Berk’s enlightened view of living with the fire-breathers. Pompous, all-bark-no-bite Eret (Desmond Harrington) turns out to be merely a lackey to the fearsome Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou), who has history with Stoick. The bigger shock comes when Hiccup discovers a hidden dragon sanctuary watched over by someone with even more significant history with Hiccup’s family: the guarded Valka (Cate Blanchett). Hiccup again casts himself in the role of peacemaker, now protecting a hard-earned new way
