Castro Street’s car-free future CITY PREPARES PLANS FOR WALKABLE DOWNTOWN AFTER CLOSING ROAD AT TRAIN TRACKS By Mark Noack

SAMMY DALLAL

The new tree outside Mountain View City Hall is a lot smaller than the towering cedar it replaced, but it still made a festive centerpiece to the city’s annual Community Tree Lighting Celebration on Monday, Dec. 9. See more photos on page 18.

A happy holiday tradition A cheerful crowd assembled at the Mountain View Community Tree Lighting Celebration on Monday night. The big old cedar tree that was the event’s centerpiece was removed last month, but its young replacement was resplendent with lights, despite its diminutive stature.

Mayor Lisa Matichak and Santa Claus were on hand, along with a lineup of choirs, from senior citizens to students, who filled the air with music. Bayer Ballet’s Snow Queen posed for photos, and good-natured snowball fights broke out in the snow play area.

t what some describe as a make-or-break juncture for downtown Mountain View, the city is pressing ahead with plans to steer Castro Street toward a pedestrian-friendly future. At its Tuesday, Dec. 10, meeting, the City Council approved a new set of studies for closing off Castro Street at the Caltrain tracks and potentially blocking off sections of the street to traffic and creating a pedestrian promenade. In 2016, city leaders decided closing off Castro Street was the best option available to preserve the character of downtown while performing needed upgrades to the train crossing. As Caltrain prepares to launch faster and more frequent train service, Mountain View and other Peninsula cities have been urged to prepare grade separation projects, removing locations where auto traffic crosses over the train tracks. The most obvious way to accomplish this, tunneling Castro Street under the train line,

was expected to cost $120 million, and city officials decided it would be too expensive and disruptive. Instead, they favored a cheaper alternative to block off Castro Street at Central Expressway and build a new underpass for pedestrians and cyclists. Vehicle traffic heading into downtown would instead be routed along Shoreline Boulevard to Evelyn Avenue. Now three years later, the plan remains controversial among downtown residents and business owners. Skeptics have warned that if plans are poorly implemented, it could ruin the charm of Mountain View’s downtown. Those concerns popped up again on Tuesday night, as council members reviewed a new environmental study for their multifaceted plans for the Castro area. The study, a mitigated negative declaration, essentially served as an official report affirming that the disruptive impacts caused by the Castro Street project would ultimately be balanced out. Barely anyone at the meeting disputed the study’s See CASTRO STREET, page 18

City Council makes mental health a priority after youth suicides STUDENT DEATHS COULD PROMPT BETTER SECURITY AT CALTRAIN CROSSINGS, HEALTH CARE FUNDING By Kevin Forestieri

he Mountain View City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to turn youth mental health into a top priority next year, following the deaths of two high school students by suicide since August 2018. The move, prompted by Councilwoman Margaret Abe-Koga, means the council will find ways

Mountain View High School students died by suicide in less than two years. Eddie Keep died by suicide shortly before the start of the 2018-19 school year. In October, a second teen — whose name was not publicly released according to the family’s wishes — was struck by a Caltrain in Mountain View and later died of his injuries. Keep’s mother, Peggy Keep, told council members that more needs to be done to prevent

suicides, including safety and security measures along the Caltrain tracks. Crossing guards or cameras may not be the perfect solution, but they could at least act as a deterrent, she said. “There’s too much pressure — there’s all kinds of things that contribute to this,” Keep said. “It is way too easy, at certain hours of the evening, to walk down See MENTAL HEALTH, page 7

PEAR’S NEW ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Theater artist and teacher Sinjin Jones has been selected as the next artistic director for Mountain View’s intimate Pear Theatre, the company announced Monday in a press release. In addition to years of experience as a performer, director and educator, Jones has worked in operations and finance, choreography, creative writing, lighting and sound design and other artistic and technical pursuits. “As a queer artist of color, he has a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion both on and off the stage,” according to the release. Most recently he has served as artistic director and board of directors vice president of A Theatre Group in Silverton, Colorado. He also was the founder and artistic director of Otherworld Collective, and co-founder and head of operations for Perplexity Pictures.

THE VOICE

Imagine you’re Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert’s tragic heroine. You’re trapped in a boring marriage in a small town. Your only escape is through romantic novels, love affairs, shopping, redecorating and the occasional ball. When your fantasies crumble like a dried wedding bouquet, “It’s like the day after the ball every day.” Then, what are your options? Now playing at the Pear Theatre in Mountain View, “You/Emma,” an imaginative adaptation of “Madame Bovary” written by Palo Alto native Paz Pardo in collaboration with actress Valerie Redd, riffs on 19th-century French romanticism, bringing it into the present with contemporary parallels. By masterfully delivering the message in the second person, Pardo and Redd invite audiences to see themselves in a classic tragedy tempered with comic relief. The bovine Dr. Bovary is captured by a chorus of moos. Letters and unpaid bills cascade from overhead boxes. And Emma Bovary, believing she’s about to elope with a no-good lover, is instead battered by a barrage of apricots that accompanies his farewell note. Meanwhile, video montages of Hollywood sex goddesses like Marilyn Monroe, each with their own disillusionments, show that love is not forever. Redd, who won Best Solo Performance for “You/Emma” at New York’s Innovative Theater Awards last year, carries the onewoman show from the moment she enters, wearing a T-shirt with the words “Don’t Try to Make Me Smile.” She could have brought the message home by sporting a khaki-colored jacket emblazoned with “I Really Don’t Care. Do U?” but that would have been too obvious. Besides, it would have been tough to top a hooded jacket with a corset and hoop skirt when Redd transforms into Emma. Yet Redd as You/Emma manages to

make the transitions seem almost effortless. Sometimes we shake our heads in disbelief at the character’s naiveté, but we empathize. Flaubert himself, played onscreen by Redd with a mustache, offers his 2 cents, delivering key passages from the novel as well as his letters. Unfortunately, perhaps because of uneven sound quality at the initial performance, Flaubert’s words are sometimes muffled and the floppy mustache makes lip-reading problematic. With her lovers gone and all possibilities of escape dissipating amid her mounting debts, Emma, like myriad tragic heroines — Anna Karenina, Hedda Gabler, Cleopatra — sees no way out. The actress’ tears become our tears, and we leave the theater seeing ourselves as Emma. Ambitious and more complicated than it looks, “You/ Emma” is entertaining as well as thought-provoking. “You/Emma” runs through Dec. 15 (Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.) at the Pear Theatre, 1110 La Avenida St., Mountain View. Tickets are $35. Go to thepear.org or call 650-254-1148. —Janet Silver Ghent

DRIVER FLEES POLICE, CRASHES BMW A suspect was at large Tuesday after fleeing from police in Mountain View and then crashing a vehicle on U.S. Highway 101 in the early morning, a police spokeswoman said. At about 1:20 a.m. Dec. 10, officers tried to stop a suspicious BMW sedan on Gladys Avenue, but the driver didn’t yield and continued to drive at a normal speed, Mountain View police spokeswoman Katie Nelson said. The car went onto northbound Highway 101 and accelerated to high speeds. Officers did not speed up to continue the pursuit, but kept driving along the highway, spotting the BMW crashed on the side of the highway a short distance later, Nelson said. No other vehicles were involved in the crash, and the driver had run away on foot. Officers searched for but did not find the suspect and did not immediately have any other information to provide about the case. See CRIME BRIEFS, page 14

But to be this kind of pioneer is daunting. Her parents, both

immigrants from the Philippines, are unfamiliar with the U.S. college system, and her school counselors have plenty of other students in need of guidance. The good news is Co has some outside help on her mission. For the last couple of years, Co has been taken under the wing of Sandy Burgan, a 60-year-old retiree who is familiar with the trials and tribulations of high

school life. On a weekly basis, the two each take a couple of hours out of their busy days to meet up, usually at a coffee shop. Sometimes they talk about academics; at other times they discuss life, stress, friends, family or whatever else is on their minds. “We got comfortable together really fast,” Co said. “I’m glad that I can talk to someone else about these things. Now I really look forward to our meetings.” Burgan nodded along as her protégé spoke. “I appreciated her back story, See MENTOR TUTOR, page 7

County explores universal basic income for former foster youth PILOT COULD GRANT $1,000 TO $2,000 PER MONTH TO ADULTS EXITING FOSTER CARE SYSTEM By Kevin Forestieri

anta Clara County Supervisors are looking into providing a universal basic income for young adults aging out of the county’s foster care system. If approved, it would mark the latest in a growing number of experiments testing whether no-strings-attached cash payments can improve the

health and well-being of at-risk people. The framework of the pilot program is still under development, but it could mean that the roughly 58 young adults aging out of the foster youth system each year would be eligible for between $1,000 and $2,000 in monthly payments from the county. The money would be granted without any restrictions

on how to spend it, and would likely last for one or two years. If approved next year, the county’s pilot would follow several recent experiments with universal basic income (UBI) programs, in which recipients get unrestricted cash payments from a nonprofit or government agency. A $500 monthly income See FOSTER YOUTH, page 17

network of North County clinics serving lowincome families will be under new management next year, owned and operated by the nonprofit Ravenswood Family Health Center, it was announced Dec. 6. MayView Community Health Center, which has provided care for needy patients in Santa Clara County since the 1970s, has reached a deal in which all of its assets, employees and operations will be transferred to Ravenswood by April 2020. The name “MayView” might stick around as a local brand for its clinics located in Palo Alto, Mountain View and Sunnyvale, but the deal largely ends the nonprofit’s long tenure as the North County’s health care safety net. Ravenswood CEO Luisa Buada said the merger, which will be subject to a vote by the boards of directors of both organizations this week, is the best path forward for MayView’s patients. Nonprofit clinics are difficult to operate on a balanced budget while serving an ever-increasing number of uninsured and underinsured patients, she said, particularly with limited reimbursement rates and high physician salaries in the Bay Area. Consolidating the clinics into one larger organization is one way to get around those challenges, Buada said. “The stresses MayView has had in the past are going to be a thing of the past,” she said. “So the focus will be on patient care delivery and expanding services.” MayView serves more than 9,000 patients each year, the majority of whom are Mountain View and Sunnyvale residents. There are no county-operated health clinics in northern Santa Clara County, leaving organizations like MayView and Planned Parenthood to fill the gap. After the transition, Ravenswood is expected to serve a combined 27,000 patients with a little over 100,000 patient visits each year, according to MayView CEO Ken Graham.

MayView has struggled in past years to stay solvent in a difficult health care market, and there are a lot of forces that make consolidation a tempting option. Perhaps the most important factor is that Ravenswood is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), granting it a line of federal funding to provide health services in underserved areas. MayView had applied for FQHC status to improve its finances, but it was denied in September. This sparked serious discussions with Ravenswood about the acquisition plans, Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian said. Graham said he believes Ravenswood taking over the MayView clinics will “unify” the safety net across county boundaries — Ravenswood’s flagship clinic is located in East Palo Alto in San Mateo County — and will mean better services for patients and stronger organizational support for staff. Buada said the merger makes sense, given that both organizations have fought to provide health care to underrepresented and marginalized residents, with special considerations for cultural competency in diverse communities. Unlike a corporate merger that might come with layoffs and major restructuring, Buada said patients really shouldn’t see much of a difference. “It doesn’t take anything from MayView. It’s not like other businesses,” she said. Under the current plans, the staffing at all three of MayView’s clinics will remain the same, and patients who can’t afford the full cost of care will still be eligible to pay a reduced fee on a sliding scale based on income. Even the IT and electronic health records should be relatively easy to combine, as MayView and Ravenswood both use the same providers. Subsidized health care for needy residents has gone through major shifts in Mountain View in recent years. In 2016, the Mountain View RotaCare clinic on See MAYVIEW, page 10

and I thought I could help her get into college,” Burgan said. “She’s very left-brained and good at math, but she also has a very creative side.” The pair met about two years ago through Mentor Tutor Connection, a Los Altos-based nonprofit that links students with seasoned professionals as a way to provide guidance in their education and other aspects of their life. Originally launched in 1996, Mentor Tutor Connection puts a priority on helping students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly those who would be the first in their families to graduate high school or go to college. At younger grade levels, this mentoring is usually focused on straightforward academic tutoring, helping students with fundamental subjects such as math and reading. For high school students, this guidance verges into other subjects, such as students’ social life, self-esteem and stress management. Mentors try to present themselves not just as role models, but also as approachable adults with whom

students can freely talk about anything on their minds. “This is an opportunity for students to have a relationship with an adult who isn’t a parent or school staff member,” Burgan said. This year, Mentor Tutor Connection is one of seven local nonprofits that benefit from donations to the Voice Holiday Fund. With the support of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, 100% of donations go directly to these nonprofits. In total, Mentor Tutor Connection has about 90 volunteers providing guidance at schools in the Mountain View and Los Altos area. More mentors are always needed, and anyone interested in volunteering their time is urged by Mentor Tutor Connection to apply. Burgan joined Mentor Tutor Connection a few years ago after seeing an ad in the Voice. She had recently retired from a sales position at a semiconductor firm, and her own daughter was all grown up, so she decided to go for it. On the other side, Co wanted someone who could speak from experience about navigating the college entry gauntlet. She applied to join Mentor Tutor

Connection as a sophomore, after learning that more than 30 of her classmates were also in the program. At their first meeting, Co remembers being extremely shy, not sure of what to expect. Burgan tried to put her at ease, asking her what she wanted to get out of the relationship. From there, the conversation got much easier. For their outings, the pair often meet at a coffee shop and hang out, but they’ve done plenty of other activities, Burgan said.

MENTAL HEALTH Continued from page 1

Castro Street and just stand in front of a train.” The city adopted a policy in 2012 explicitly calling for strategies preventing suicide, but has taken a relatively hands-off approach to mental health up until now. Mountain View provides annual funding to the nonprofit Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC) as part of a cross-agency agreement, but the city’s contribution, a little over $100,000 each year, is a small slice of CHAC’s $3.7 million budget. Palo Alto launched Project Safety Net, a collaborative of more than 30 community organizations including the city, the school district and local nonprofits, following a similar spate of tragedies, and Mountain View could consider following suit, Abe-Koga said. “I would like for us to have a deeper dive into this issue in this coming year,” she said. One component of suicide prevention, safety measures on the Caltrain tracks, has been explored, tested and altered over the last decade in neighboring Palo Alto after a cluster of youth suicides prompted city officials to take action. At first, it was volunteer “track watchers,” followed by city-hired security personnel keeping watch at all hours. The approach changed again last year, when the city

Any person who is feeling depressed, troubled or suicidal can call 1-800-784-2433 to speak with a crisis counselor. People in Santa Clara County can call 1-855-278-4204. Spanish speakers can call 1-888-628-9454. implemented a new thermal and infrared security camera system, complete with an “intrusion detection system” with algorithms designed to detect movement within 1,000 feet — night or day. Abe-Koga said residents and school district constituents have both suggested Caltrain safety measures could help reduce access to means for suicide. Councilwoman Alison Hicks said she believes youth mental health initiatives run by nonprofits like CHAC, local schools and El Camino Hospital are “very scattered,” and that the city might have a role to play in coordinating services under one roof. She added that the big-time philanthropic giants in the area, like the Silicon Valley Education Foundation and Sobrato Family Foundation, focus heavily on physical health and education and may be neglecting an opportunity to help kids struggling with mental health conditions. At the same time, she said, the city should set limits on its involvement. “I’m not particularly interested in the city becoming a mental

health provider,” Hicks said. “I’m interested in hearing more from the community and then improving what these various organizations do, or possibly partnering with Project Safety Net.” National studies have found that about 1 in 5 children have a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder, but only about 20% of those children actually receive care from a mental health provider. The reasons for the gap are manifold, including a dearth of available psychiatrists and psychologists and challenges in finding affordable, in-network care. Anxiety and depression make up the large majority of mental health illnesses diagnosed in youth ages 13 to 18. In response to inadequate mental health care, nonprofits and school districts are working to fill in the gaps. Mountain View-Los Altos High School District hires a team of a half-dozen therapists, and has a contract with CHAC to have mental health counselors on campus throughout the year. Patients seeking an appointment at CHAC’s Mountain View clinic can face long waiting lists to get services, and increasing the city’s financial support to the nonprofit could put a dent in the problem, said Councilman John McAlister. “I’m in total support of putting some money where our mouths are, and actually contributing to existing programs that will help solve those problems,” he said.

Grant Road shut down, forcing hundreds of patients who relied on its free services to transfer to MayView. Now, all patients of MayView will be transferred to Ravenswood. Unlike RotaCare, Graham said the planned merger with Ravenswood will be relatively seamless. The goal is that not one MayView patient will receive a letter saying they have to go somewhere else. To assist in the transition, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a $625,000 contract with MayView for financial support through the end of March. The money will be used as “bridge” funding to allow MayView to continue to provide health care services to patients during the “orderly transition of patients and patient care from MayView to Ravenswood,” according to a county staff report. MayView serves 200 uninsured patients per month — the second highest of all health centers in the county — in addition to Medi-Cal patients who would otherwise have to travel to Milpitas or Sunnyvale for care. In a statement, Simitian called the funding a critical stopgap

measure to ensure MayView’s services continue in the lead-up to the acquisition. Assuming the merger succeeds, he said the organization will be assuming a vital role in health care that MayView has filled for decades. “MayView has been an invaluable partner in the North County for almost half a century,” Simitian said in the statement. “And we are so excited that Ravenswood will continue to carry the torch that MayView lit 47 years ago.” The funding agreement also stipulates that, if the acquisition

doesn’t happen for some unforeseen reason, the county will have “first right of refusal” to acquire the three MayView sites. Precise details on a MayViewRavenswood merger, including how to integrate a portion of MayView’s board of directors into Ravenswood’s organizational structure, have yet to be determined.

City set to launch new headcount tax BUSINESS LICENSE TAX TO BRING IN $6 MILLION ANNUALLY By Mark Noack

n the coming weeks, Mountain View leaders will roll out a new business tax that could eventually net $6 million or more per year from the city’s largest employers. Starting in January, the city will begin charging companies big and small a new fee based on their total headcount of employees. The tax was specifically designed to extract more revenue for public services from the city’s largest tech companies to offset the traffic and housing demands that they create. The new business tax will be gradually phased in over the next three years to allow larger businesses to adapt to the new fee structure. Large employers with 50 or more workers will be required to pay one-third of their license fees next year, and then two-thirds in 2021. The full tax will be implemented in 2022. Over recent months, officials in the city’s Finance Department have sent out notices of the new fees to about 5,000 businesses registered with the city. Staff have

been fielding questions from business owners, but overall there doesn’t seem to be any major problems with the new fee regime, said Finance Director Jesse Takahashi. The new fees will be due at the start of January. “There’s been quite a variety of responses,” Takahaski said. “Most are trying to understand how this will work and how it’s different from the previous system. But overall it seems like folks are accepting it.” The new business tax operates on a tiered system that charges a higher per-employee fee based on the size of the company. For example, Trader Joe’s with 63 workers would pay up to $75 per employee. Pure Storage and its 1,150-person workforce would pay a maximum of $100 per employee. Small businesses with annual revenues of less than $5,000 would be exempt under the new city business tax, as would any business owned by a military veteran as the sole proprietor. As Mountain View’s largest employer by far, Google stands to pay the most under the new fee structure. The tech giant

reportedly has more than 23,000 employees in Mountain View, which would require the company to pay about $3.5 million annually. Mountain View’s experiment in taxing its large tech employers is expected to be closely watched by other cities. Seattle, Cupertino and East Palo Alto each proposed similar plans to tax large businesses last year, but local officials decided to take a wait-and-see approach. In Cupertino, officials last year held off on a similar per-employee tax that would have had a lopsided impact on Apple. Instead, Cupertino officials decided to directly negotiate with Apple on greater corporate contributions to the community. Earlier this year, Apple proposed funding about $10 million for a series of bike paths, and Cupertino officials indicated they didn’t need to press for more. In Mountain View, the revenue from the new business tax is expected to be used mainly for transportation improvements, with some left over for to fund affordable housing or other projects. V

Council drops plans for human rights analysis By Mark Noack

eeing little of value in the practice, Mountain View leaders are dropping plans to adopt a human rights analysis in city decision-making. In 2017, City Council members approved trying out a pilot program to have city staff examine local development projects and municipal policies through a human-rights lens. A broad term by nature, â&#x20AC;&#x153;human rightsâ&#x20AC;? was defined by city officials as impacts on housing displacement, affordability, social equity and economic prosperity. Further narrowing the scope, the city tested out using the human rights framework on only a handful of projects, including the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restrictions on shortterm rentals, the East Whisman Precise Plan and the Vision Zero traffic safety plan.

assurances that human rights will remain an informal priority because they would pick closely aligned goals in future years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountain View does take human rights into consideration in our words and deeds and how we look at projects,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman John McAlister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is more important than putting a human rights label on it.â&#x20AC;? Former Councilman Ken Rosenberg, who championed the human rights framework during his time in office, expressed disappointment that the council is now jettisoning it as a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disheartened to learn that people, even elected officials, feel that human rights donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be codified,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is somewhat of a metaphor for how human rights have to be championed and people have to be reminded of them constantly to preserve them.â&#x20AC;?

In general, city staff found it difficult if not impossible to assess the human rights consequences. For regulations on Airbnb and other short-term rentals, city staffers say they were working with unreliable listings gleaned from third-party websites. For East Whisman, staffers reported they had little data on small businesses that could be displaced if the area were redeveloped. In short, Christina Gilmore, the assistant to the city manager, warned it create a hefty workload to appraise the human rights impact of each and every city action. Even if staff made that effort, she reported it likely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect any staff decisions or recommendations. In a brief discussion, the City Council unanimously agreed to discontinue the human rights analysis. Elected leaders gave ic

program launched in Stockton in February, and the research arm of Mountain View-based Y Combinator is also planning to test a UBI program that would provide $1,000 in monthly payments to 1,000 participants across two states. One of the most well-publicized basic income experiments took place in Finland in 2017 and 2018, in which 2,000 employed Finns received 560 euros a month with no spending restrictions. While the recipients were not more likely to find work during the trial — a key component of the program — they reported feeling less stressed, more financially secure and “more confident in one’s own future,” according to the government’s report. Though referred to as a “universal” program, Santa Clara County’s basic income pilot would take a narrow aim at young adults coming out of the foster youth system, who are suddenly faced with losing access to a robust network of support services. Studies have found that children in foster care are often subject to poverty, trauma, substance abuse and mental health issues, and struggle to be self-sufficient in early adulthood, according to county staff. A 2006 Bay Area study found foster care “alumni” are at heightened risk of homelessness, unemployment, incarceration and dependence on welfare. County Supervisor Dave Cortese, who proposed exploring a UBI pilot in August, said such a program could be a “potentially transformative intervention” for adults coming out of foster care. It would also be a pretty big divergence from what the county has already done, which is provide funding for specific services and uses. “It’s not prescribed to housing, it’s not prescribed specifically to health care deductibles or medical costs or registration for school or groceries,” Cortese said at the August meeting. “It is the idea that, much like the few UBI pilots that are out there, it is a much more fungible or flexible fund.” County supervisors unanimously agreed at the time to have staff explore the idea. Supervisor Joe Simitian said he believes there is an ongoing struggle to support foster youth in the county and across the state going back at least 20 years, and that well-intentioned legislation has done little to move the needle. “Here we are 20 years later and frankly, these kids are still

not having the level of success that they can and should have after they come through our system. What we are doing now does not work,” Simitian said. “I think it behooves us to ask ourselves are there different or better ways we can address the needs of these kids.” Who will benefit? At a committee meeting last week, county staff laid out a menu of options for how the county’s basic income program could look, including the size of the payments, the duration and, most importantly, which foster youth and former foster youth should get the money. County staff recommended that, while Stockton residents might get a big boost from $500 each month, a more appropriate basic income in the Bay Area should land somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000. The money could be based on income eligibility requirements, and could be provided over the course of 18 months or two years. The basic income program could hit a snag if, by accepting the county’s money, former foster youth are no longer eligible for other government benefits including Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, CalFresh or General Assistance. It could also create problems for recipients who immigrated to the country and are seeking U.S. citizenship. County staff suggested that the sweet spot would be to provide money to “transition age youth” ages 21 to 24, who are eligible for fewer services than younger adults. The vast majority of those who are between the ages of 18-20 are still eligible for “extended foster care” services including housing support, social workers, stipends and financial help for college tuition. While the two members on the committee — Cortese and Supervisor Cindy Chavez — made no strong commitments at the Dec. 3 meeting, they both agreed that there should be no “control” group of former foster youth who don’t receive money. Chavez argued the county has plenty of data showing the challenges that foster youth face, and that there’s no point in “disadvantaging or traumatizing anyone,” while Cortese said the county shouldn’t be the business of picking winners and losers for the sake of testing a pilot program. “I understand that an experiment that would maybe hold some more statistical validity would be to sort of split the population and have the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots,’ but I don’t think that’s us,” Cortese said. “I

don’t think we should do that, even though it might give us a finer set of data points.” Sparky Harlan, CEO of the Bill Wilson Center, told the Voice that she believes that the UBI already has a proven track record and would be a great idea for foster youth, particularly in reducing homelessness — which is a major problem that is most acute in people ages 21 and 22 when they’re making the transition into adulthood. She agreed that people ages 21 to 24 would be the ideal population, as young adults up to age 21 are still technically in foster care. The Bill Wilson Center offers a range of services to children and young adults, including counseling, homeless support services, transitional housing and provides temporary housing in Mountain View for foster youth. Harlan said she believes the basic income program would help former foster youth learn how to manage money and make financial decisions on their own, rather than receiving assistance through highly prescriptive grant programs. She pointed to one example where the state decides what car repairs are worth making, based on the value of the car, which completely takes the decision out of the hands of the recipient. “The state should not be telling them the car should be worth a certain amount,” she said. “That’s a decision we make, as an adult, to weigh whether we should or shouldn’t. Sometimes it’s a good decision, sometimes it’s not, but we make the decision ourselves.” Though the details of the pilot are still being worked on, Harlan said she feared the basic income program’s scope will end up too narrow, leaving out people who could use the money the most. Children placed in homes that are “permanent” on paper, but unstable in reality, exit the foster care system on their 18th birthday and are no longer eligible for services. Many of them end up on the street and don’t appear eligible for the county’s pilot UBI program. “Often times when they turn 18 they become homeless,” Harlan said. “That’s the population that could really use this income even more.” The committee is tentatively scheduled to get a second review of the pilot program in March before it returns to the Board of Supervisors for a vote in April, in time for the 2020-21 budget process. A $1,000 basic income program would cost an estimated $700,000 each year. Email Kevin Forestieri at kforestieri@mv-voice.com

traffic situation ... how will that interface with the most popular walkable block in the city?” Public works Director Dawn Cameron fielded questions about the project as best she could, although she pointed out that many aspects are still undetermined. By next spring, city engineers expect to be one-third finished with the design for the project. Part of the uncertainty is that Mountain View is still negotiating an agreement with Caltrain and the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), which is expected to be signed by March. Once that

findings, but the report still elicited many familiar concerns that fiddling with the layout of Mountain View’s successful downtown carries big risks. Councilwoman Alison Hicks, who previously worked as a city planner, did not mince words to describe what’s at stake. “I see the grade separation and underpass, it could potentially wreck the walkability of the downtown, or be an opportunity to make it much better,” she said. “As we change the

three-way deal is finished, the grade separation project can move into its final design, with plans to begin construction in 2022. In any event, the city will eventually face a hard deadline to close off Castro Street because the train service will become so frequent that cars will no longer be able to cross, Cameron said. For the project, Cameron pointed out the city should be able to make use of $60 million in VTA funding collected under the 2016 Measure B sales tax initiative. She said that Mountain View is well ahead of Palo Alto and Menlo Park in preparing its

grade separation infrastructure. “VTA said to us that since we’re so far along, they’ll consider us first in line for the funding,” she said. “They’ve committed to funding this grade separation, but they haven’t committed to the timing.” During the same meeting, the City Council also commissioned a new study to explore transforming a section of Castro Street into a pedestrian plaza. When complete, the study is expected to provide a variety of options for improving the pedestrian experience, which could involve a full or partial

closure to vehicle traffic. The study is expected to focus on the 100 block of Castro, between Evelyn Avenue south to Villa Street. After screening different planning firms, city officials decided to hire the San Francisco-based Gehl Studio for the study, at a cost of $265,000. The work plan for the study is expected to include up to three public meetings next year, and the City Council is expected to review a draft report by Gehl by in June.

Local experts spill about their favorite natural wines Q F O O D F E AT U R E Story by Elena Kadvany

isa Robins is glad that more and more customers are coming into Vin Vino Wine in Palo Alto asking for natural wine — sort of. She’s glad because any curiosity about wine, no matter the category, is a good thing. She’s chagrined, however, when those customers can’t quite explain what they mean by “natural” wine, or if they’re attached to its most restrictive definition. Natural wine has become a cultural phenomenon of sorts, propelled from the fringes of wine geekery into the mainstream. Its popularity has sparked a flurry of wine bar openings across the country, including locally, endless explainers and thought pieces (just this week, The New York Times asked, “Is Natural Wine Dead?”) and heated debate about what natural wine actually means. “To me, the idea of natural wine has become a little bit dogmatic and it imagines this world where either you make these zero intervention, very

handmade wines, or you’re an evil corporate entity, and what gets dismissed in that kind of dichotomy is every wine we sell,” she said. “We like to place a much bigger emphasis on, how is that wine grown? How is it made and how much energy is in it when you taste it?” Loosely defined, natural wine grapes are farmed organically with minimal intervention and no (or very few) additives — though as Robins pointed out, there are numerous exceptions, from organic wines that are not certified as organic to small, thoughtful producers that add some sulfites to their wines to enable them to be shipped across the world. Vin Vino Wine is one of several places to taste and explore the nuances of “natural” wine on the Peninsula. Read on Robins and five other owners’ picks for bottles they’re excited about, from a cabernet sauvignon-petit sirah blend made in a garage in Yolo County to an orange Georgian wine made in large, handmade clay vessels called qvevri that are buried underground.

Lisa Robins, Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto 2018 Siciliane Bianco ‘Calaiancu,’ Mortellito (90% grillo/10% catarratto), $26 Mortellito is a small, organic producer in the Southeast corner of Sicily. This wine is positively oceanic; it’s briny, fresh and slightly savory. A small amount of skin contact gives it a deep golden hue, though I wouldn’t classify it as an “orange” wine. The texture is quite fresh, but also has a hint of roundness. The nose gives up lush, ripe lemon with floral notes. I would drink it as an aperitif or with any light fish or shellfish dish. It’s a wonderful, vibrant, offbeat white. 2018 Toscana Rosso ‘Unlitro,’ Ampeleia, $20 Ampeleia is a relatively young estate in Tuscany started by Elisabetta Foradori with a couple of partners. Initially, the idea was to plant Rhone varieties, but they’ve expanded their scope as they’ve learned what works best on the land. The farming is all organic, moving toward biodynamic. Unlitro is a 1-liter bottle of a mix of grapes grown at the lowest altitude on

the estate. The primary grape variety is grenache, but there’s also carignano, mourvedre, sangiovese and alicante bouchet in the mix. Aging is done all in concrete vats. The wine is a fresh, slightly herbal and vibrant pale red. The nose is all of the pretty aspects of grenache, fresh cherry/red berry with just a hint of Mediterranean herb. It’s insanely quaffable, and the liter bottle makes the wine feel like it was grown to bring people together. I would pair it with grilled pork or hard cheese and charcuterie. The price point is also party-friendly!

Kasim Syed, Salvaje, Palo Alto 2018 Pipeño Portezuelo, $45 (1-liter bottle) I am really enjoying the Pipeño wines from Louis-Antoine Luyt out of Chile. The red and the white are equally tasty but I find myself going to the white more often. It’s organically farmed, hand-picked and fermented on native yeast, like all the wines we pour. It is unfiltered and cloudy in the glass. It’s fun to drink and has many tropical flavors going on, like lychee. It can go great with anything, from spicy Asian or Indian food, and is also tasty with pizza. See NATURAL WINES, page 20

Weekend NATURAL WINES Continued from page 19

Pavel Sirotin, Bevri, Palo Alto Dakishvili Family Vineyard Cuvee, $80 This full-bodied amber dry wine is a blend of three Georgian endemic grape varieties: rkatsiteli, mtsvane and kisi, grown in the Dakishvili family estate vineyards of the village Kondoli, on the right bank of the Alazani river in the Kakheti region. This wine was fermented and matured in qvevri according to the UNESCO-recognized Georgian traditional wine production method. The wine offers complexity of dried white and yellow fruits complemented with roasted almonds and sweet spices. Artevani, $80 Unique terroir red wine Artevani is made in the historic wine-growing Kakheti region from the organically grown saperavi grape variety. This full-bodied, dry red wine has a dense, dark garnet color, ripe red fruits and plums in the aroma, a palate of black cherries, plums, and earthy spices. Bold, complex structure yet smooth and well-balanced acid. It is a perfect choice for Georgian spices, dishes and meats. Zu Tarazi, BottleShop, Redwood City It’s hard to label a wine as natural wine since I don’t believe there is

a clear definition. This movement started in the ‘60s in Beaujolais with an approach of no additives in the wine. We think of natural wines as fruit that’s sustainably farmed, no manipulating, little to no sulfites, a kind of hands-off approach. There is a cool, youthful evolution of winemakers that’s been going on in California, and one that I am particularly excited about is James Jelks of Florez Wines from Santa Cruz. He’s been on his own since 2017 and is making some beautiful wines. One wine that I find to be fire is his recent California heritage field blend ($63). It’s a blend of zinfandel, mourvedre, carignan, alicante bouschet, petite sirah and black muscat from a vineyard planted in the 1920s in Santa Clara Valley. While working for another winery he would pass this 0.6 acre on his way to work and decided to approach the vineyard owner to see if he can utilize this historic fruit. These are the stories that get us geeked about wine at BottleShop, and now we get to enjoy the finished product of this labor of love. Rocco Scordella, Vino Enoteca, Palo Alto 2016 Palazzo Tronconi ‘Lauterie’ syrah, $89 We decided in the last five months to add a few natural wines to our list and we see a great interest from guests. Since we opened we always had macerated (orange) wines (that

are) usually loved by geeky sommeliers or wine people since they are not cheap and usually have a strong, nutty taste and a full body almost compared to a red wine. (This wine) is organic and (undergoes) biodynamic cultivation, nonfiltration or clarification over 15 months of aging in a used French tonneaux (an oak barrel). Dark ruby color with intense staining and deep tearing. On the nose you have an interesting balance of chocolate, vanilla, dark cherry and black pepper with a little hint of dried plums. A classic full-body SAMMY DALLAL syrah wine perfect for polpette (meatballs), game meats and grilled Cindy Chang examines a bottle of Christina Orange, an Austrian meats. I found very interesting how chardonnay, at Salvaje on Dec. 6. a wine with no controlled temperature, spontaneous fermentation and indigenous yeast could reach such a great balance. Guillaume Bienaime, Zola, Palo Alto 2017 “Grandma’s Garagiste” cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah blend, $70 I’m super excited to be serving and supporting an up-and-coming winemaker’s truly garage wine. Juicy plum and blueberries come out of the glass, nicely balanced with black pepper and hints of licorice. We love it with our 30-day aged rib-eye (steak) that we’ve been serving as a special lately.

Weekend Q MOVIEOPENINGS

COURTESY OF SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

“Jumanji: The Next Level” reunites most of the cast from “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.”

It’s all in the game ‘NEXT LEVEL’ KEEPS JUMANJI FRANCHISE ON THE MOVE 000 (Century 16 & 20, Icon) Action cinema in the age of computer-generated imagery has trended toward increasingly improbable, if not downright impossible, stunt sequences — but one franchise gets away with them guilt-free. After being launched by director Joe Johnston and star Robin Williams in 1995, the resuscitated Jumanji franchise took the premise of a magical board game and updated it to a magical video game. When the characters of “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and now “Jumanji: The Next Level” enter that video game, anything — including wildly unrealistic action — can happen. Director Jake Kasdan’s “Welcome to the Jungle” introduced the theme of trying on different

identities in adolescence, as four high school teens worked out their post-hormonal insecurities while trapped inside videogame avatars that did not match their self-images. Alex Wolff’s lanky nerd Spencer inhabited the muscle-bound frame of Dwayne Johnson’s Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Morgan Turner’s introverted intellectual Martha leapt into Karen Gillan’s “Tomb Raider”-esque martial-arts babe Ruby Roundhouse, Ser’Darius Blain’s bulky jock “Fridge” became Kevin Hart’s pint-sized sidekick “Mouse,” and Madison Iseman’s popular influencer Bethany wound up as Jack Black’s hefty professor Sheldon “Shelly” Oberon.

In the newly released “Jumanji: The Next Level,” Spencer returns from his first year of college in a deep funk. Associating his depression with withdrawal from the game, where he found the romance with Martha that’s since fizzled, he literally picks up the broken pieces of the Jumanji game and gets pulled back into its world. Reasoning that he’s likely to die on his own, his three friends decide to follow him back into the game, but the glitchy game leaves Bethany behind, instead taking Martha, Fridge and two newcomers: Spencer’s granddad Eddie (Danny DeVito) and his frenemy Otis (Danny Glover), erstwhile buddies estranged after the sale of their joint restaurant venture. The conceit allows Johnson to goof it up with a halfway decent DeVito impression and usefully tamps down Hart’s overacting instincts by having him imitate the breathy, slow-talking, understated pedantry of Glover. Black now plays Blain’s character, again unhappy in a body that lacks endurance, while Gillan’s “killer of men” reunites with Turner’s Martha. The sequel holds some mix-and-match surprises in store as we run into new (Awkwafina) and returning (Nick Jonas) guest stars. Sure, there’s an in-game objective (reclaiming “the fertility jewel of Jumanji”), but what we’re really here for is the action: a desert stampede, a vertiginous rope-bridge challenge and a mountaineering adventure that leads to a climactic showdown involving a remote stronghold,

lots of hand-to-hand combat and flying the not-so-friendly skies with the bad guy’s zeppelin (Rory McCann of “Game of Thrones” gamely plays stock-villain Jurgen the Brutal). Although one svelte human stuck in a portly avatar comments, “All bodies are beautiful,” the film levels up the body-dysmorphia theme in “Welcome to the Jungle” by introducing characters in their 70s and comparing and contrasting them to the teen characters. Like grandson, like grandfather: Both miss the physical formidability and attendant self-confidence they once had — Spencer in the
