Drought could cost Palo Alto $5.46 million Market-rate power purchases would replace lost hydroelectric power

by Sue Dremann

I

f California doesn’t get more precipitation, Palo Alto could end up paying at least $5.46 million more for energy supplies to make up for lost hydroelectric power, a city official told the Weekly.

California’s seasonal forecast shows the state is heading into

its driest year on record, and even additional rain won’t be able to make up for two straight years of drought, according to the California Department of Water Resources.

A funding reserve the city built up during wet years, when costs were lower, means the city doesn’t

expect the drought to affect customer rates this year, but a third dry year could change that. “If we have continuous three years in a row of very critically dry weather, it will be a problem at some point,� said Jane Ratchye, city Utilities Department assistant director for resource management.

While most Californians will see the effects of the deficit as lower groundwater, river and reservoir levels, Palo Alto will feel

the hurt in its electrical budget, she said.

Hydroelectric power in a normal year accounts for about 50 percent of the city’s power supply, and by contract Palo Alto pays the same amount of money for that power no matter how much power it gets, Ratchye said. But in 2014, the city expects that the proportion of power it gets from hydroelectric sources, such as the Calaveras and Shasta dams, will fall by about 10 percent. Purchas-

ing power from other markets to make up for the drop would take a 4 percent bite out of the city’s electricity budget.

In addition to hydroelectric power, 20 percent of the city’s power came from landfill gas and wind in 2013; it purchased the remaining 30 percent from the open market.

The drought means that in 2014, 40 percent will come from hydroelectric sources, with the balance ­VÂœÂ˜ĂŒÂˆÂ˜Ă•i`ĂŠÂœÂ˜ĂŠÂŤ>}iĂŠÂŁ{ÂŽ

Surf Air, an airline that offers passengers unlimited flights on six-passenger planes for a monthly fee, started flying its turbine-powered Pilatus PC-12 planes in and out of San Carlos Airport in June.

But it has rankled some Atherton residents, who have found the airplane noise overhead annoying.

About 75 people attended a Dec. 9 community meeting about Surf Air, with many voicing their concerns, according to a Dec. 10 article in the Almanac, the Weekly’s sister paper.

Surf Air’s current FAA-mandated flight path is aligned above Middlefield Road through Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Mountain View and flies over Palo Alto’s Walter Hays Elementary School.

But a proposed additional path would take planes 10 degrees to the east, passing directly over the Willows neighborhood in Menlo Park and the Crescent Park, Duveneck/St. Francis, Triple El and eastern Midtown neighborhoods

REVELING RESPONSIBLY ...

Thousands of holiday revelers made responsible decisions this holiday season by taking cabs and public transportation, choosing from a myriad smartphone-enabled ridesharing services with annoying names, or just walking instead of driving while inebriated. It seems 32 unlucky folks did not.

Santa Clara County’s “Avoid the 13� DUI crackdown started Dec. 13 with fanfare around a muchtweeted-about patrol with Palo Alto Police Chief Dennis Burns, who didn’t catch any drunken drivers. It ended on Jan. 1 with the final three of 32 people arrested over New Year’s Eve. BEST WISHES ... Only hours before the clock struck midnight to bring in 2014, Palo Alto Online staff decided to ask Town Square users what they hoped for in the New Year. One poster said they wanted “Cures for MS, ALS, MD, RA, and cancer.� Very noble. A common theme, though, was a desire to have city leaders who oppose development in Palo Alto, with one poster stating her wish as: “A new City Council populated mainly by Greg Schmid clones.�

Another commenter chimed in: “If we start now we could have Greg’s 10 years apart in age.�

Among other wishes, poster Craig Laughton enthusiastically hoped for a Stanford Rose Bowl win. Sorry, Craig.

ALLIANCE BY DESIGN ...

Palo Alto’s architecture has been under a glaring spotlight in the last few months, with the modern design aesthetic of new downtown buildings grating up against the traditional tastes of many local residents. But now, architects are striking back. Early in December, more than 20 local architects submitted a letter to the City Council making the case against citizen appeals of building plans that the city has approved. The architects’ group includes former Councilman John Barton, former Architectural Review Board Chair Judith Wasserman, current architecture board member Randy Popp and local architect Tony Carrasco.

The recent disagreement, they wrote in a letter to the council, isn’t between modern and

traditional styles. Palo Alto, they say, “has good examples of modern design and poor examples of traditional design, so this is not really a one-sided debate.� They also dispute the “compatibility� argument offered by the residents. The city’s goal in encouraging compatibility, they say, “does not strive to cause projects to be identical with or to imitate existing styles.

Design compatibility refers to overall building massing, site organization, character of detailing and quality of materials and construction.� The architects agreed with residents, however, that the city could benefit from improvements in its designreview process and agreed that the city’s review boards should discuss how the city enforces its design standards.

SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY ...

As Palo Alto looks ahead to the long-awaited reconstruction of California Avenue, city officials are brainstorming ways to minimize the impact of construction on parking in the eclectic commercial district.

Vice Mayor Nancy Shepherd had one suggestion: reaching out to Caltrain to see if the city can use the dozens of parking spaces in its lot that Shepherd said are unused each day. The lot, she told city planners in an email, is about “1/4 to 1/3 filled during the work day.� According to Assistant Planning Director Aaron Aknin, however, Caltrain officials said they would prefer to keep the parking spaces reserved for train riders. In response to Shepherd, he noted that the city already has other plans to accommodate cars while construction is in place. This includes making 48 additional parking spaces available on Birch Street and making use of a parking lot formerly owned by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) on the corner of El Camino Real and Page Mill Road. The city is also discussing with Stanford University the possibility of using parking lots between Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank on El Camino Real and introducing a noontime shuttle between Stanford Research Park and California Avenue.

Proposed parking program a tough sell downtown Residents, businesses concerned about Palo Alto’s citywide permit program

by Gennady Sheyner

P

alo Alto’s residents and business owners rarely see eye to eye when it comes to downtown parking, but the city’s latest attempt to free up spaces for residents in their neighborhoods has achieved the seemingly impossible — bringing the two camps together in vehement opposition.

In the early weeks of the new year, the city plans to unveil its proposed framework for a new “residential parking permit program� that would set parking restrictions on participating residential blocks. If the program goes into effect, the only cars allowed to park on these blocks without time limits would be those belonging to residents who chose to buy permits — or possibly a few non-residents with permits.

While the program has yet to be fleshed out, it is already facing fierce resistance from both neighborhood leaders, who say

it is too complex, and from commercial property owners, who call it overly invasive and a “huge waste of money.�

Property owners say they are concerned about where employees would park once the program starts. Downtown residents characterize the staff proposal as overly complicated and “doomed to fail,� according to a memo.

Years in the making, the residential permit-parking program (RPP) is widely viewed as the most dramatic component of the city’s multi-pronged response to parking shortages in downtown and around California Avenue, a problem that was exacerbated over the past few years by accelerating commercial growth in the two business districts.

In 2013, the City Council designated as its first of three priorities the “future of downtown and California Avenue,� with parking atop

the agenda. Over the past year, the council explored a wide array of initiatives, including new garages, valet parking at existing garages, and a robust “transportation demand management� program that would encourage downtown employees to ditch their cars in favor of bikes, trains, buses and other modes of transportation. The latest staff report on the subject describes community concerns about parking and traffic congestion as having “reached critical levels.�

The problem will remain the council’s top priority in 2014. The council was scheduled to discuss the proposed framework for the parking-permit program on Dec. 16, but with the meeting running late, members agreed to take it up at a later date, most likely early in 2014.

The framework outlined in the December staff report wouldn’t automatically pertain to any specific neighborhood. Rather, it would

allow neighborhoods to enroll if they suffer from parking congestion, provided they can get at least 70 percent of the residents to agree.

Only blocks with a parking-occupancy rate of 75 percent or more (as verified by an independent consultant) would be eligible.

Interested neighborhoods would have to submit an initial petition demonstrating support from 50 percent of the residents. The city would then conduct “occupancy surveys� to confirm the reported parking problem. Planners would then send all residents postcard surveys to gauge neighborhood support. At least 70 percent of the returned surveys would have to indicate support before the program is considered further, according to the report.

Public hearings would follow in front of the Planning and Transportation Commission and, ultimately, the council. Only then

would the program be adopted on a trial basis. This would be followed by more data collection, further surveys and a decision by the council on whether the permit-parking district should be permanently established.

Staff is still wrestling with several big questions, including the number of permits that should be issued to residents and non-residents; permit costs; and the method of rolling out the program.

As part of the backlash against the proposed program, a coalition of more than two dozen downtown businesses have mounted the website paloaltoparkingsolutions.org, on which they call the proposed parking permit “massive, pervasive, and expensiveâ€? and warn visitors that a parking permit program “may be coming to your neighborhood soon even ­VÂœÂ˜ĂŒÂˆÂ˜Ă•i`ĂŠÂœÂ˜ĂŠÂŤ>}iĂŠ9)

HOLIDAY FUND

Foothill textbook program empowers students to succeed Program supports disadvantaged students, offers vouchers to pay for textbooks

C

ollege is expensive.

But for many, a college education is the way out of a life of poverty. At Foothill College, which has campuses in Los Altos and at Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto, the most vulnerable students receive financial help and academic support through Extended Opportunity Program and Services, a state-wide program.

Nazy Galoyan, currently dean of enrollment services at Foothill, was herself an Extended Opportunity Program and Services student until 2007. “It was my family,� she said of the program. “I was a single mother at the time. They helped me; at the holidays they provided gifts and activities. I would not have been able to go through school without EOPS (Extended Opportunity Program and Services).�

Galoyan also said she credits the program with contributing to her success in college and her current career. From Foothill, Galoyan transferred to San Francisco State University, where she majored in business management and minored in Russian. Galoyan graduated from San Jose State Univeristy with a masters degree in counseling and education before returning to Foothill as a dean. “It’s not just that EOPS provides; they also are empowering

(students),� Galoyan said. “They are giving you hope. They are making it possible for you, expecting you to achieve your goal.�

In addition to counseling, tutoring and community, the program offers textbook vouchers to enrolled students. Deeply affected by cuts to state education funds, the program now relies increasingly on community funding to support eligible students, said A lex a nd r a Duran, who directs the Foothill program.

The Extended Opportunity Program and Services received a $4,000 grant from the Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund this past year to supplement the textbook vouchers. “In the past, we used to be able to support students with all of their required textbooks,� Duran said. “But after the 40 percent cut in funding from the state during the 2009-2010 academic year, we had to just offer a monetary number instead of buying all books.�

Currently, enrolled students receive on average $250 to offset textbook costs, but this amount does not cover all required books, Duran said. “Tuition and fees run around

$1,094 for the academic year,�

Duran said. “Books and supplies raises that total to around $1,710, meaning books and supplies cost well over $500.�

The Holiday Fund grant allows the program to give vital financial support to students enrolled fulltime who qualify for free tuition and meet the program criteria, Duran added.

Duran said that students have to meet certain economic and educational disadvantage criteria, such as being a first-generation college student or speaking English as a second language. Extended Opportunity Program and Services students often enroll in basicskills courses — usually remedial English and math — when starting at Foothill, Duran said.

Iris Kula, who is studying to become an ultrasound technician and is also working towards a degree in communication, said the Extended Opportunity Program and Services gives her hope. “When I started researching (going back to school), when I saw how much it was to register, how much the textbooks were, I was just going to turn around and leave,� Kula said.

Kula — who cannot even afford a cell phone — said she talked with Extended Opportunity Program and Services counselors about the program and its resources. “I’m opening my eyes to op-

Kula said. “EOPS is paying for my books. Without their program, I never would have come back (to start college).�

Angela Rosendo also is grateful for the textbook vouchers. Working towards a sociology degree, Rosendo said her goal is to transfer to San Jose State University and become a police officer. “You get to take whatever class you want because you can get the book,� Rosendo said. “It helps me a lot because I don’t have to worry about not being able to buy the book.�

Foothill’s Extended Opportunity Program and Support has a record of success, Duran said. “We create an environment that values each student’s individual potential,� she said, “so they may achieve their career goals and educational objectives.�

Last academic year, the program served 433 students. As of

November, 303 students were in the program, and Duran said 95 percent of students who start with the program stay enrolled in college throughout the year. “The Holiday Fund has really helped in increasing the allocated textbook amount per year per student,� Duran said. “Most of our EOPS students cannot afford the purchase of textbooks. If our department was not able to provide a reasonable amount, these students would stop coming to school.�

Galoyan said she also relied heavily on the program’s support when she was in school. “EOPS played a huge role in my life,� she said. “Book vouchers actually gave me the ability to stay in school.� N To read more about the Holiday Fund, and to make a donation, see page 8.

Parking (continued from page 7)

if you don’t live near the Downtown.� (It doesn’t mention the rigid qualification requirements.) “Do Palo Alto citizens really want to pay for Parking Officers to patrol streets in every residential neighborhood that’s near a business district?� the businesses ask.

Instead of instituting a permit program, the businesses propose the city designate certain spaces on problematic residential blocks for residents only. They are also urging the city to mark the parking spaces on residential streets so that fewer cars can park on each street, alleviating the problem of overcrowding. Residents and local employees could continue to park on the blocks without buying permits, the businesses argue.

The downtown businesses that support the marked-spaces proposal include Whole Foods Market, Watercourse Way, Palo Alto Creamery and Gordon Biersch.

A group of neighborhood leaders from Downtown North, Professorville and Crescent Park are voicing their objections as well. Though they argue that the city should pursue a city-wide parking-permit ordinance and adopt it by March 31, the new law should come up with “objective metrics for quality of life in a neighborhood� and design a program around these goals, the residents wrote in a statement. “A permit program for any residential neighborhood must be based on quality standards such as degree of commuter intrusion, traffic, safety, etc.,� the statement reads. “A residential is not a commuter parking lot with homes.�

The residents argue that the program designed by staff has “too many unreasonable hurdles and thresholds.� The program, they say, should be designed on a block-byblock basis, rather than by neighborhood, and the opt-in threshold should be 50 percent plus one.

Though they are coming at the parking issue from the opposite side, the residents are just as clear as the businesses about their stance on the permit program currently on the table. “Leaders from three neighborhoods are completely unified in opposition and are prepared to speak out aggressively within the University Avenue neighborhoods and take the issues to four California Avenue residential neighborhoods and beyond,� they wrote in the statement.

The proposed permit-parking framework isn’t the city’s first stab at such a program for downtown. In June 2012, planners unveiled a similar program limited to a section of Professorville. The council ultimately rejected this proposal, with council members and numerous residents arguing that this solution would only push the problem to other sections of downtown. At that time, the council directed staff to consider more comprehensive solutions. N Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner can be emailed at gsheyner@ paweekly.com.

News Digest

Off the Grid food trucks may come to Menlo Park

Man accidentally shoots himself in head An East Palo Alto man apparently shot himself in the head while intoxicated on New Year’s Eve, a police sergeant said.

East Palo Alto police responded to a report of a shooting in the 900 block of Bay Road at 9:07 p.m., Sgt. Jeff Liu said.

Officers found the 26-year-old man with a severe gunshot wound to his head and rendered immediate aid, Liu said. The man was then transported for additional treatment.

Investigators learned the man had consumed alcohol while handling the loaded firearm, Liu said. The shooting appears to have been accidental.

An update on the man’s condition was not immediately available.

East Palo Alto Police Police are asking that anyone with any information on this incident call the department at 650-321-1112 or anonymously at 650-409-6792. Anonymous emails can be sent to epa@tipnow.org. N —Palo Alto Weekly staff

Driver, 90, responds to lawsuit over crash The 90-year-old driver of a car that reportedly pinned 6-year-old twin brothers against a wall on Santa Cruz Avenue has denied all responsibility for the resulting injuries, claiming the children were engaged in behavior that was reckless, careless and negligent.

The driver, Edward Nelson of Woodside, made that claim in his response to the Cadigan family’s lawsuit naming him as the defendant. According to the lawsuit, filed on Nov. 14, the Cadigan twins and their 9-year-old brother were walking along Santa Cruz Avenue in Menlo Park when a BMW SUV with the license plate “EN ESQ� jumped on to the sidewalk, striking the twins.

The Oct. 17 crash broke one twin’s arm and left the other 6-yearold boy in critical condition; he was released from Stanford Hospital following a five-week stay and multiple surgeries. The family seeks punitive as well as general damages on behalf of all three boys for their injuries, which the lawsuit describes as ranging from multiple, extensive skin grafts and damage to the lower body; orthopedic and soft-tissue damage to the upper body; and emotional trauma.

Nelson states in his response to the lawsuit that the plaintiffs “carelessly, recklessly and negligently conducted and maintained themselves� in a way that contributed to the accident. Furthermore, “knowing the probable consequences thereof, (they) placed themselves in a position of danger and voluntarily participated in all the activities,� and so assumed any related risks. Finally, the plaintiffs failed to “reasonably mitigate� any damages they sustained.

Nelson held a valid license at the time of the accident. After the accident, his license was confiscated, and he was ordered to schedule an examination within five business days with the DMV or risk suspension of his license.

Due to the valid license and the determination that Nelson wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol when the accident happened, he faces only a possible infraction, according to police. The District Attorney’s Office will make the final determination.

Nelson was licensed to practice law from 1957 to 2001, according to the California State Bar. A team of two attorneys from Pedersen Eichenbaum & Lauderdale of San Jose and one from Dyer & White in Menlo Park is representing him in the lawsuit.

Attorney Michael Kelly, representing the Cadigan family, did not respond to requests for comment on the defendant’s filing.

The court has scheduled a hearing on Jan. 23 regarding Nelson’s motion to eliminate punitive damages. N —Sandy Brundage

Man in wheelchair injured in car collision A man in his 90s suffered minor injuries Monday when he was hit by a car as he crossed Hamilton Avenue in downtown Palo Alto in his motorized wheelchair.

The car, which had stopped at a red light on the corner of Bryant Street and Hamilton Avenue at 11:10 a.m., crossed into the intersection when the light turned green, hitting the man, said Palo Alto Police Officer Sean Downey.

The man complained of pain in his hip and had a bump near his left eye. He was transported to Stanford Hospital. Downey called the collision “low impact� and said he didn’t know whether the driver of the car had accelerated into the man or if the driver had only released the car’s brakes as the light turned. The driver cooperated with police.

The elderly man had been on his way to eat lunch at La Comida at the Avenidas Senior Center, said Betty Schneider, a friend with whom he often eats lunch. “A lot of us are out on the street around lunchtime, and drivers around Palo Alto do ignore crosswalks often,â€? she said. “When you’re elderly and you use a cane or a wheelchair, it takes a little longer to get across the crosswalk, and I think it’s good for young drivers to remember that.â€?

ff the Grid, a popular Bay Area food truck gathering, might set up shop in Menlo Park this year.

The organization has applied for a use permit to operate in the Caltrain parking lot at the corner of Merrill Street and Ravenswood Avenue.

If the permit is approved, eight to 12 food trucks would convene on Wednesday nights from 5 to 9 p.m. by the Caltrain station, with live music from 6 to 8 p.m. Food vendors would rotate every week, bringing new faces and food — but no alcohol — to the market.

Off the Grid currently coordinates 25 weekly markets, from San Francisco and Berkeley to Hayward and San Mateo. Many operate in parking lots or city gathering places, but this spring the city of Belmont approved an application for the mobile food truck extravaganza to take place on Monday evenings in that city’s Caltrain parking lot. “We were looking at other opportunities, and Menlo Park became tangible because the location is highly under-utilized,� said Ben Himlan, Off the Grid’s director for business development, about the organization’s decision to expand. “And we were interested in going further down the Peninsula.�

Food trucks became a contentious topic in Menlo Park in 2012 when the City Council floated a proposal to bring them to the city’s downtown area. The idea met strong opposition from local business owners and residents. “As a restaurant owner on Santa Cruz Ave. for over 12 years, I have to voice my displeasure on the plan for food trucks to occupy an area near my restaurant,� Ali Elsafy, owner of Bistro Vida, wrote in a June 2012 letter to the Almanac, the Weekly’s sister paper. “Has anyone looked into the mess that these trucks will create? Are there going to be public toilets available?

Is there going to be someone cleaning up the overflowing garbage cans at the end of the evening? Will someone be cleaning the mess off the stained sidewalks, or is it just going to look disgraceful until the morning? Who is paying for this clean up?� he asked. “Also think of the businesses, homes and apartments in the immediate area that have to suffer from hearing engines running for hours and general disturbance of their standard of living.�

Another letter, written by resident Cherie Zaslawsky, asserted that food trucks would spoil downtown, the “jewel� of the Menlo Park community.

Off the Grid mailed two notifications in late November and

early December to those living in the area near the Caltrain station. The first was a letter of intent from the city and notification of a public hearing to take place at the Planning Commission’s next meeting on Monday, Jan. 13. “There was some opposition from that,� Himlan said. “People (were) highly concerned about the music and noise.�

He added that some residents also expressed concern about drug use and drinking, though the market will not serve alcohol. “It really is about those food trucks,� he said. “They are the star of the show. It’s not about partying. It’s activating a space that otherwise wouldn’t be activated on Wednesday nights and it actu-

‘It’s not about partying. It’s activating a space that otherwise wouldn’t be activated on Wednesday nights and it actually might deter any drug use that might be going on there.’ —Ben Himlan, director for business development, Off the Grid ally might deter any drug use that might be going on there.�

Himlan said that after receiving critical response from the first mail notification, Off the Grid sent out a second postcard with further details to clarify what the market and music would be like. “People are assuming we are having a concert out there,� he said. “That’s really not what it’s about.�

Off the Grid’s application, which was submitted in October and will be heard by the Planning Commission on Jan. 13, includes details that address the concerns.

The application states that live music will be performed by typically one to two musicians playing mainly acoustic instruments for only a portion of the evening; the music will be heard via speakers facing the center of the market and with limited amplifi-

cation. Any noise from food truck generators will be at a “minimum.� However, the application acknowledges that the noise may exceed ordinance limits.

The application also promises that Off the Grid staff will leave the market space “cleaner than (they) found it� and that vendors are required to provide garbage, recycling and compost cans in front of their vehicles. Setup would begin at 3:30 p.m. and cleanup would conclude around 10 p.m.

Off the Grid would also provide necessary lighting and 200 chairs for customers.

The event would initially be approved for only one year “so that its operations can be evaluated prior to any long-term approval,� according to the application. “What we’ve learned from every location that we go to and every permit we go after is that the outreach portion is really important and the notification process is really important,� Himlan said. “We don’t ever try to sneak these things in. ... We’re not looking to upset people; we’re looking to build relationships.�

This would be Off the Grid’s first foray south of Belmont; it would join a scattered few other food-truck events in the area.

The Willows Market in Menlo Park hosts a smaller-scale food truck night every Monday; many of those vendors also participate in Off the Grid.

Popular food-truck event Edgewood Eats in Palo Alto was shut down in April after it was forced to leave Edgewood Plaza and unable to find a new home. Moveable Feast and Mobile Wednesday, two roaming food-truck markets similar to Off the Grid, continue to operate in Palo Alto for weekday lunches.

In May Mountain View revamped its 57-year-old municipal code to allow food trucks in parts of downtown but also added various requirements.

The Menlo Park Planning Commission is scheduled to review Off the Grid’s permit request at its Jan. 13 meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the Civic Center at 701 Laurel St. N Editorial Assistant Elena Kadvany can be emailed at ekadvany@paweekly.com.

Correction The Dec. 27 article, “Palo Alto’s year of disruptions,� incorrectly stated that voters shot down a “superblock� proposed by the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. “Superblock� was the nickname for a development proposal involving two blocks between University and Lytton avenues and Ramona and Waverley streets. It was voted down in a 1971 referendum. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation proposal for a 18-story hospital in Professorville was voted down in a 1970 referendum.

Solar program remains a challenge in Palo Alto

PaloAltoCLEAN renewed, despite lack of participants

hen Palo Alto launched in spring 2012 a program that allows local businesses to sell solar energy to the city, officials lauded it as the latest example of the city’s commitment to green energy and, in the words of City Councilman Pat Burt, an “excellent example� for other utilities to follow.

But more than 18 months later, the program known as PaloAltoCLEAN (Clean Local Energy Available Now) still has no participants, prompting utilities officials and council members to consider revisions. In December, the council’s Finance Committee

heard the latest presentation about PaloAltoCLEAN and recommended keeping it in place with few changes. “We still don’t have any takers in the program,� Assistant Utilities Director Jane Ratchye told the committee on Dec. 17. “We think we’re close to having some takers.�

Approved by a unanimous vote in March 2012, the program enables commercial customers to build solar systems on their properties and sell power to the City of Palo Alto Utilities under a longterm, fixed-rate contract. The current rate for this energy is 16.5

cents per kilowatt hour for a 20year contract (the council raised it from 14 cents after getting no participants in its initial bid). Because this rate would entail a subsidy from ratepayers, the council agreed in December 2012 to cap participation to 2 megawatts.

Even so, commercial customers have been reluctant to install solar panels for energy sales.

In considering the future of the program, a staff report from the Utilities Department argues that the 16.5 cent/kWh price is “sufficient to attract projects and that

Arthur Pfeiffer demonstrates “Texas Block ‘Em,� his online poker game, in December. to operate, meaning that if there are multiple players, everyone has to be in the same room together — even though everyone is playing on their own devices.

When the game starts, everyone is shown five face-up “community� cards, similar to popular poker game Texas Hold ‘Em. Each player is then prompted to privately choose a card from a limited deck that’s randomly generated fresh for each new hand. Players aim for the same hands that are desirable in poker (royal flush, full house, four of a kind, etc.). The second round of selections are made public, introducing the skill element: once a player sees what another player is aiming for (say there’s a jack of spades in the community cards and one sees another player selecting a jack of clubs), he or she can strategize to “block� that player. If two players select the same card, they’re dealt a “thwart� card that has no value. “This adds a whole dimension on top of poker because card selection now becomes a very important feature,� Pfeiffer said. “And when you play you can play to try to improve your hand, to try to block somebody or when you’re trying to improve your hand, you have to consider they might be trying to block you, so you might not make the best selection to avoid (that). So there’s a whole different dynamic involved.�

Texas Block ‘Em will be based on the same concept but will involve either fee- or subscriptionbased online tournaments that award cash prizes. So the elements consideration and prize will be present, but not chance, meaning the game does not violate gambling laws, Pfeiffer claims.

Pfeiffer’s games also have potential educational value, he said.

They can be used to teach strategy and negotiation skills, for example. “When you play this game, it makes you a better thinker, strategist and poker player,� he said.

Pfeiffer is not the only one trying to reinvent the world of Internet poker. PurePlay, a San Francisco-based company, broke into the scene in 2005, claiming its legality based on the absence of consideration. PurePlay users don’t have to pay to play in its online tournaments, but instead pay a monthly $25 subscription fee to join the website. It’s a different business model, but the game that users play remains the same as regular poker.

Pfeiffer’s company has been compared to PurePlay, but he said the two aren’t in competition. “It’s really a totally different thing because our game basically is a game of skill,� he said. “Their game is not a game of skill by the definition of skill where there’s no outside force intervening.�

David Levine, an affiliate scholar at the Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, said: “The argument that this is more a game of skill and therefore it wouldn’t run afoul of laws certainly seems probable.�

Levine, himself a poker player, added that learning how to read other players’ “tells,� bluffs or potential next moves involves a “high degree of skill.�

PurePlay are operating during a difficult time for online poker, during which many companies have come under major legal fire.

In 2011, the U.S. Justice Department shut down two of the world’s biggest online poker companies, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, charging their founders with fraud. The next year, PokerStars paid the government a $527 million gambling fine and an additional $184 million to reimburse customers outside the United States.

Pfeiffer also recalled in the early 2000s when offshore poker sites were formed so that American players could take part in the lucrative game. In response, Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006, making it illegal for businesses to knowingly accept payment in connection with illegal online gambling.

At the state and local level, there’s variation between enforcement and abatement. Some states explicitly categorize online gambling as illegal; others don’t.

Some states consider online-poker related violations felonies, and others as misdemeanors (including California).

Under California law, legality depends largely on the rake, or the commission fee taken by the person or company operating the game. If the rake is taken as a percentage of the total sum of

Arthur Pfeiffer, creator of the “Hold ‘em Blitz� and “Texas Block ‘Em� online poker games, shows the iPhone app while in his Palo Alto home in December. money that players gamble during a single hand or game, the game qualifies as a “percentage game� and is illegal. But a flatrate or non-percentage rake could be considered legal.

Only three states — New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware — have completely legalized Internet poker.

Proponents of legalization point to the millions of dollars in tax revenue that could be collected from the game. A recent study conducted by Academicon, a Germany-based law and economics research team, and PokerScout, a website that collects online poker

data, found that the California market alone could generate between $217 and $263 million in its first year of operations.

Pfeiffer said he thinks it’s only a matter of time until online poker becomes legal. “Several states already allow (it) and just simply as a source of tax revenue, it’s going to happen.

It’s going to happen in the next couple of years.�

Levine however, disagrees. “I don’t think I’d go that far.

I don’t see (legalization) happening immediately,� he said, citing gambling’s unavoidable association with personal im-

further education of property owners about the program will yield program participation.�

The report touts behind-thescenes progress. “The program prompted developers to take a serious look at the cost of developing solar projects in Palo Alto, and some of them shared that information with CPAU staff.�

Utilities Director Valerie Fong stressed the value of all parties in the discussion picking up experience in what is known as a “feed-in tariff� program. “Staff would like to gain experience working with this tariff and working with developers,�

Fong said. “I think the market place needs this experience as well so that they can understand how to do projects under these sorts of opportunities.�

The committee voted unanimously to keep the program going under the rate of 16.5 cents per kilowatt hour, though members agreed with Burt’s suggestion to raise the cap from 2 megawatts to 3 megawatts.

Burt, who chairs the committee, noted that the city has received some proposals for solar projects on city-owned properties, including at the Palo Alto Airport and at a cityowned garages. Though neither plan has materialized to date, the possibilities are still there, Burt said. “We do have the possibility that we can go from ... waiting, waiting to where a couple of these pop and we have to say ‘no’ to one of them because we didn’t have the allotted capacity in the program that would allow (them),� Burt said.

in Palo Alto before crossing above U.S. Highway 101 just south of the Palo Alto Animal Services Center. From there, the flights would travel over the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve and above the Shoreline Golf Links in Mountain View.

It would not replace the current flight path but would provide another option, Cory Cozzens, Surf Air’s vice president of business development, stated in an email to the Weekly last week.

Surf Air currently serves 371 members with about 350 more waiting for new routes to their communities, Cozzens told the Almanac. About half of its members live in the Bay Area, and 31 reside in San Mateo County. The airline has 16 daily flights from 8:20 a.m. to 9 p.m. connecting San Carlos to Burbank, Santa Barbara and Hawthorne, Calif., according to its website.

Cozzens said the company does not have any immediate plans to add flights to San Carlos airport. “However, our long-term plans have included as many as 20 daily flights to San Carlos. We plan to provide service to airports throughout California over the coming years, including Tahoe, San Diego, Palm Springs and more,� he said.

The membership-based airline charges a flat rate of $1,350 per month, plus a $500 one-time initiation fee.

The new flight path was formally requested by a working group of Atherton residents, Cozzens said.

Surf Air and the San Carlos Airport provided minimal technical and feasibility guidance, he said.

Cozzens defended Surf Air planes, which he said are not exceptionally noisy. “Surf Air flights comprise only a small number of the total daily flights into San Carlos airport and is similar or smaller/ quieter than many other aircraft that have long been operated from San Carlos, including 20

coming from renewable sources and the open market, Ratchye said.

Palo Alto would purchase the additional power from an existing stable of eight to 10 suppliers, she said.

The city won’t know until March if its drinking-water supply, which comes from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, will be affected, Ratchye said. But if the drought affects the Sierra snowpack or continues for an extended period, water supply could be impacted. The city has underground emergency-water supplies, she said. “It’s very early in the water year. Supplies in storage are looking OK, and water use has gone down,� she said.

daily operations with identical aircraft (Pilatus PC-12s). Unfortunately noise from other operations, including louder Coast Guard operations, are often attributed to Surf Air. All of that said, we want to be welcome in the community, so we have made many changes to our operations to minimize our noise impact, and we continue to work with all concerned parties to obtain this goal,� he said.

Crescent Park Neighborhood Association President Norman Beamer sent an email to City of Palo Alto officials requesting immediate action so that the proposed route does not materialize. “It’s certainly appropriate for people to weigh in on this with the City Council,� he said, but he did not know what legal mechanisms might be in place to address the trans-Palo Alto flights. “I’m hoping people will get organized and look into it,� he said.

Palo Alto officials are looking into the matter, said city spokeswoman Claudia Keith.

“The city is aware of the issue.

We are working to ensure that the city is able to participate in any discussions on potential changes that could impact our community and continue to monitor the situation to ensure that the city’s position is adequately represented,� she said.

Karen White, president of the Duveneck/St. Francis Neighborhood Association, said she has not heard the planes, but neighborhood concerns regarding aircraft are not new, she said. “Many years ago there was an uproar over the noise of the LifeFlight helicopters, but those concerns subsided,� she said.

White said she would be more concerned about the planes flying at a safe altitude. “We need to wait and see what happens. Flights during the day are not as problematic as flights at 2 a.m. waking people up,� she said. N Staff Writer Sue Dremann can be emailed at sdremann@ paweekly.com.

She was born on April 7, 1976, to Harold and Georgia Yang and grew up in Palo Alto.

Donald Nils Granholm enjoyed the Advanced Placement course he helped initiate and the science department coordinator role he held for a number of years. After Cubberley closed, Don taught for several years at Palo Alto High School, where he retired in 1982.

During his teaching career, Don was actively involved in the major chemistry curriculum changes that the National Science Foundation funded in the post-Sputnik era.

He also served on the board of the California Science Teachers’ Association, including one year as its president.

Don and Mary shared a passion for building international relations, especially one person at a time.

Their hosting of international students began while their son Dean was in high school, with a one-year stay

by Ethiopian exchange student Eabisa Guteta, who remains (with his family) a close part of their circle.

For many years thereafter they opened their home to students through Stanford University’s international student program, where Don was an active volunteer.

In their wide-ranging travels throughout the world, Don and Mary often stayed at the homes of families whose children they had hosted. Don’s photographs of their travels are legendary, demonstrating both his eye for beauty and the spirit of friendship that he and Mary fostered on their adventures together.

The life of Donald N. Granholm will be celebrated at a memorial service at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 4, 2014, at the First Baptist Church, 305 N. California Avenue, Palo Alto, California. Don’s wishes were that in lieu of owers, donations could be made to the First Baptist Church of Palo Alto or to LinďŹ eld College, McMinnville Oregon.

Donald Nils Granholm passed away peacefully on December 19, 2013 at a nursing home in Mountain View, California. Don leaves behind his wife of 53 years Mary Jane (Budrow) Granholm; two sons, Steve Granholm and Dean Granholm; as well as four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Don was born on October 15, 1918, the oldest son of Nils Olaf Granholm and Victoria Erica (Lundquist) Granholm, in Yakima, Washington. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, David Granholm and Victor Granholm.

Don and Mary met in the First Baptist Church of Palo Alto, California, where they were married on April 9, 1960. Members at the time, they have remained so to the present day, often drawing on the strong church community for support but always returning the favor many times over.

Don and Mary have been residents of Mountain View, California since the mid-1950s.

Don graduated from Wapato High School in Wapato, Washington and received his Bachelor’s degree in 1939 from LinďŹ eld College in McMinnville, Oregon. He went on to earn a Master’s degree from the University of Washington in 1948 and pursued other postgraduate work at the University of California Berkeley, Denver University, the University of Chicago, and Stanford University.

A lifelong educator as well as learner, Don spent sixteen years as a science teacher and principal at several high schools in Washington State before moving to California in 1956. There Don taught chemistry, as a charter member of the faculty of the new Cubberley High School in Palo Alto. He especially

Spectrum Editorials, letters and opinions

Apples and oranges Editor, During the last City Council meetings, several council members tried to justify their view(s) of not taking seriously the message of the November 2013 election rejecting Measure D. Some had the hubris to say they were elected with more votes than the votes defeating Measure D. Your election had nothing to do with Measure D. This is an insult to Palo Alto voters, comparing apples and oranges. No one disputed the legitimacy of their election nor denied their right to continue holding misguided views. Our system of government does not require citizens to vote.

We and our neighbors from throughout the city went door to door leafleting and talking to fellow citizens. They understood this election was not about affordable senior housing, but developments increasing density in residential neighborhoods, declines in quality of life and safety for their children.

This decline is reflected in ugly, oversized, under-parked projects with increased traffic and congestion. Council’s attempts to miscategorize and devalue citizen’s views is a reflection of their believing they are invincible and their inability to accept they may be wrong.

This turns people off and leads to mistrust of the council.

We urge council and all staff to seriously examine the election results and the implications it has for our city’s future. We hope the next project on the Maybell site will be guided by current zoning and consideration of people in the neighborhood along the Maybell corridor.

Michael J. and Ruth Lowy Thain Way, Palo Alto

Transfer Maybell loan to Buena Vista Editor, I support reprogramming the $5.8 million City loan on the Maybell property to help the residents of the Buena Vista Mobile Home Park to purchase the property and become homeowners in the City we all love. This would show a good faith effort to preserve and maintain the current level of lowincome housing stock, by saving the largest low-income housing project in the city.

Margaret Fruth El Camino Way, Palo Alto

Dangerous darkness Editor, Every year in December it gets dark quite early and I become very concerned while driving.

Each year I see bikers (kids and adults) riding with dark clothes,

either no or woefully inadequate lights, no reflectors and riding like it was daylight. It is very difficult to see them with bright car lights, street lights, house lights and Christmas decorations all attracting your eyes’ attention.

These riders are may be smart people, but they are doing a very stupid and dangerous thing. I don’t understand why they don’t spend a few dollars for reflective clothes and adequate lights and reflectors to protect themselves from serious injury.

I don’t know what the city can do to rectify this situation but anything would be welcomed.

Mike Murnane Metro Circle, Palo Alto

Eastside Prep props Editor, Hallelujah for the cover story on Eastside Prep. As one in an army of dedicated volunteers, I can attest to the virtues of the institution. It’s not just a school. It’s truly a community where mutual admiration and respect among students and adults fuel a rigorous, demanding level of college-preparatory learning. There is no praise high enough for its founders, Chris Bischof and Helen Kim, who have maintained a pure and steady focus on one singular goal — providing an environment where every Eastside student will be fully prepared and successful in graduating from college and launching him/herself into the world with a strong belief in his/her own capabilities. Where others may have been tempted to “franchise� their operation and expand to additional sites, Chris and Helen have instead painstakingly worked to remove all of the potential obstacles and cracks in the road that might waylay their students. The end product — Eastside Prep as it stands today — is breathtaking in its integrity.

Every time I step foot onto the Eastside campus, I leave awash in a gentle euphoric flush, not unlike a runner’s endorphin-induced “high.� The teachers impress and inspire me, but it’s the students that make me smile. Although we struggle together with asymptotes and algebraic equations, they take full responsibility for their own understanding and mastery of learning, and are earnestly appreciative of the support that volunteers offer. If your readers are looking to give themselves a holiday gift, they should consider joining the ranks of Eastside supporters.

opinion (Dec. 13) are supporting a campaign against permit parking. Why? They own a building on Alma between Lincoln and Addison, bordered on two sides by residential and the other by my antique store. The original house facing Alma is leased to a designer; the concrete addition opening onto the alley was his family’s upholstery shop, later leased to the Pacific Art League who used it a few hours a week as a studio/ classroom. The property is “nonconforming� with only four or five unmarked spaces, about a third of the actual need for this building.

But, because of the restrained intensity of the former uses parking was never an issue.

When the art use left, city staff handed the brothers a golden egg — they approved an office use and remodeling along the alley but no parking or limits on workers. The owners increased the rent and a start-up with 16 employees moved in.

Clearly the brothers enjoy and want to defend the financial subsidy they receive (over $500,000), letting their neighbors, sometimes parking for my store, provide their parking needs. Why not? All of the other downtown developer/ owners are subsidized, why not Cintz? So, they are defending what they feel is their right to destroy the character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods and maintain their subsidy.

Why did the city approve the intensification of a clearly nonconforming use? Other cities don’t.

Go figure.

Ken Alsman Addison Avenue, Palo Alto

No need to upgrade Editor, We have used California Avenue for a significant portion of our weekly shopping and easy access to convenience stores and eating places for the past 55 years.

It is quietly the way much of small town California main streets used to be. There is nothing wrong with it. It does not need to be “upgraded� into another El Camino or University Avenue. It is and has been essentially down town for much of Palo Alto and Stanford University student and faculty housing. It has convenient on-street parking and parking facilities. Just because it may look old-fashioned to some is no reason to change a good working community resource. Check it out for yourself.

City for sale

Editor, The Cintz brothers mentioned in Mr. Thorwaldson’s Weekly guest

Editor, Thanks to Karen Holman, Greg Schmid and Gail Price for stand-

ing up against the humongous Grocery Outlet sign.

Perhaps council members should take a class in negotiating so they won’t fold to every threat against city regulations. But maybe it’s too late. By this time, every developer — and now every business owner — knows that the city is a pushover and its laws are made to be broken.

Resident Tom DuBois had photos showing that nowhere else in the Bay Area does Grocery Outlet have a sign more than 1/4 the size of the one that Palo Alto approved. Even that didn’t sway the council to a sane decision.

Palo Alto: A city for sale where the council can’t say no to developers and can’t say yes to residents.

Pat Marriott Oakhurst Avenue, Los Altos

No trees on golf course Editor, In response to Ed Lauing’s comments as chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission (Palo Alto Weekly, Dec. 13), in reference to the tree replacement plan at the Municipal Golf Course: Mr. Lauing has incorrectly stated that “Trees ‘R Us� is a fitting guiding principle for full replacement of the trees at the Municipal Golf Course at the Baylands.

The golf course sits on land that was historically salt marsh, and unfortunately, this plant community does not include trees.

With an eye towards eventual sea level rise as predicted by climate change models, the better course would be to adopt a hybrid plan that includes both tress and salt marsh habitat restoration. In the long run, salt marsh at the Bay’s edge, not trees, will mitigate somewhat the rising tides. This means Palo Alto spends less on disaster recovery from flood damage. The benefits don’t end there — the increased wildlife viewing opportunities will be enjoyed by the large numbers of people who walk and bike and birdwatch in the Baylands every week. Plus

the superior oxygen-producing ability of a salt marsh to a forest is well-documented. Yes, we are a city of trees, but the trees have their place on the uplands and in our neighborhoods, but not at the Bay’s edge on the golf course.

Jane Moss Ferne Avenue, Palo Alto

R.I.P. University Art Editor, I grew up in Palo Alto but moved to the east coast 30 years ago for school and then work. I return a couple of times a year to see family. Palo Alto was a wonderful place to grow up in — great schools, interesting people, fantastic weather, entrepreneurship. Much of that is now gone, replaced by a techie/hipster vacuum. I agree with those who say that Mountain View, Menlo Park and Redwood City have more vital downtowns.

Palo Alto city planning has been poor. Other similar cities, like Boulder, Colo., have figured out how to preserve vital downtown space with a diversity of shops.

University Avenue could be a pedestrian mall with parking offline.

Shuttles, trolleys and other public transport would help. Extending BART or light rail down the peninsula to San Jose (and looping up to the East Bay, and further south) would reduce traffic.

But Palo Altans/Peninsula residents are partly to blame for this.

Complaining about lots of traffic?

The NIMBY opposition to public transport/light rail is foolish and short-sighted. Palo Alto has the money, ingenuity and ideological commitment to progressive politics. So who’s going to step up and take the lead?

Everybody has a story In ‘guided autobiography,’ people tell their life stories and ponder wisdom gained

by Chris Kenrick

T

he death of her mother was the spark that ultimately led Palo Alto resident Sheila Dunec to make a major turn in her own career. “So much was lost with her passing,�

Dunec recalls of her mother’s death at age 84 in 1991. “In addition to my already profound grief, I had this overwhelming regret of why I hadn’t asked her things, listened to the stories. “She was sort of my model and my guide, but when it’s too late it’s really too late.�

Dunec, a counselor who at the time was running anger-management workshops and teaching veterans at Foothill College, began advising her friends who still had living parents to “ask them questions, write the tributes, the expressions

of gratitude.�

She got interested in recording life stories and, ultimately, sought permission from Foothill to launch communitybased classes in “life stories and guided autobiography.�

Now retired from Foothill, Dunec offers her 10-week “Life Stories� classes at Avenidas, Grace Lutheran Church and in a private home in Portola Valley.

She’s a firm believer in the psychological value of reviewing and recording one’s life memories, crediting the late psychiatrist and gerontologist Robert Butler and gerontologist James Birren of the University of Southern California for pioneering work in the “life stories� field. “Really reviewing and taking stock of one’s life correlates with good mental

health in older adulthood,� Dunec said. ‘It’s one of the activities an older adult can engage in that correlates with successful aging and a positive view going forward.�

Moreover, it’s a gift that older people can give to children and grandchildren, she said. “If your adult children are way too busy, caught up in the rush of midlife, trying to make a living and raise kids, you can bridge that gap by writing about things you’d like them to know about your life,� she said. “As children we’re sort of meshed in a relationship with our parents, and it’s hard to see them as independent young adults, navigating the same challenges that we do.

From left, Bill Lee, Sheila Dunec, Becky Spitzer and Jim Wong share stories while meeting briefly at Avenidas, where Dunec leads her life stories memoirs class on Dec. 31, 2013. “Everyone in my class has a desire to be seen as people independent of the role of mother or father.�

The “Life Stories� curriculum is not to be confused with a memoir-writing class, Dunec says.

She advises students to write about their life struggles, admit

their mistakes and steer clear of romanticizing the past. “If somebody’s looking to publish a witty little collection, this isn’t for them,� she said. “This is not a rosy memoir class — we get into really tough stuff.�

Toward the end of a 10-week session Dunec typically asks

students to ponder death: their early experiences with it, their thoughts on immortality and what they would do if they knew they had just one more year to live. “Like money, this is another taboo that we don’t talk about much, but it’s a very important subject,�

In the first week of Life Stories, Dunec asks students to share what’s brought them to the class, what they’d like to accomplish and whether they’re writing for anybody other than themselves.

In later sessions, students are asked to reflect on their lives chronologically — birth, family, growing up, adulthood.

Later, the themes shift to retrospection, as students consider how the world has changed, what’s

been gained and what’s been lost. Other sections ask students to integrate the insights gained to “create a more authentic life in the present.�

Sometimes Dunec adds a section on “The Times of Our Lives,� in which students revisit their best memories and consider lessons learned on how to enjoy life. Another section, “Being My Age,� asks them to try to assess honestly what it feels like to be their age.

Dunec says she finds continual inspiration in her students. “People come to me and say, ‘My life has never been anything out of the ordinary’ — and then they start talking,� she said.

One student in his 90s, Menlo Park resident Carl Clark, received military honors after his wartime heroism came to light in Dunec’s class. Dunec brought the story to the attention of U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, who worked for two years to secure military recognition for Clark, an African-American.

On the night of May 3, 1945, a kamikaze attack on the USS Aaron Ward instantly killed Clark’s colleagues on a firefighting team, and, despite a broken collarbone, Clark, sprang into action to extinguish fires sparked by a subsequent kamikaze plane.

In a 2012 ceremony at Moffett Field, U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus bestowed the Navy and Marine Corps Medal with the Combat Distinguishing Device, with Dunec, Eshoo and Clark’s surviving child and his siblings — who are in their 90s — looking on. “We were loyal Americans and tried to do our part,� Clark said, acknowledging other black servicemen never properly honored.

Clark’s story is among 42 oral history narratives of World War II collected by Dunec and others in a decade-long project that filled Foothill College’s Smithwick Theater in its 2009 premier. “We gathered people from everywhere, and it felt like we got so many of them in the nick of time,� she said. “It was important to get many different viewpoints. It was a world war, not just an American

Dunec estimates that several thousand students have taken her class over the years but has no real count. A few have continued with the class for as long as 15 years.

She’s seen students publish books with their life stories, write moving tributes to people — known and unknown — who have inspired them, travel across the world to track down long lost relatives and fall in love in their 90s. “I’ve had several love stories that have just bloomed, and it’s given me the knowledge — not just the suspicion — that love can truly flower at any age. Who would’ve thought? “I’ve learned far more than I’ve ever taught,� she said. “I’ve learned about how to grow old well and what a difference attitude makes. “I have the most remarkable students who are teaching me how to grow old and age successfully, both by negative and positive examples, but mostly positive.�

Chiwetel Ejiofor, center, in “12 Years A Slave,� the unflinching historic drama that made it on both Weekly critics’ top-10 lists.

Weekly critics single out the top cinematic tales — and show no mercy to the worst ones

W

hen the Weekly film critics assemble their lists of the top 10 movies of the year, it’s anyone’s guess whether anyone will agree. Some years a blockbuster title crowns more than one list; some years the reviewers don’t see eye to eye on anything.

For 2013, an unusual trio of films impressed our panel.

There’s the odd romantic comedy (“Her�), which transcended “quirky� to reach “daring�; and the insightful look into an evolving, grown-up relationship (“Before Midnight�).

Most serious was the unflinching historic tale (“12 Years A Slave�) with devastating performances. Critic Susan Tavernetti described one scene in the drama as “an indelible image of human bondage and its legacy.�

Two Weekly critics, Tavernetti and Peter Canavese, took part in the list-compiling. (Tyler Hanley was unable to take part this year.)

Canavese also gave us a taste of the bottom of the barrel, choosing his five worst films of the past 12 months.

Read on for the best and the worst of 2013 in film.

Susan Tavernetti’s top films: 10

The Clock The film-going event of the year did not come to a theater near you. Instead artist Christian Marclay’s “The Clock,� a 24-hour montage of found footage with cinematic time references, marked the minutes before the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art closed for renovations in June. The 2010 masterpiece depicting movie and television references for every minute of every hour of the day was synchronized to local time.

So as noon approached, a film clip showed the face of the town clock about to strike the hour be-

fore cutting to Gary Cooper’s lawman striding down the deserted main street to the iconic shootout in “High Noon.� Surprisingly, no single minute was more climactic or riveting than another. Marclay modulated the pace, offered thematic and visual riffs and delivered a mesmerizing reel experience. Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center had also treated us to the artist’s acclaimed 14-minute “Video Quartet� (2001) installation in 2012.

9

Gravity (in IMAX 3D) Known for his long takes, Alfonso Cuarón stretched this film’s opening shot to a stunning 17 minutes. Visually breathtaking in scope and spectacle, the space thriller immerses the viewer within the weightless, silent expanse above Earth’s atmosphere. The thin narrative is as tenuous as the astronauts’ tethers when an unexpected storm of space debris

wreaks havoc on their mission.

But lost in space, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney make us care about their characters and the ensuing journey through darkness.

Without the existential payload that grapples with meaning and faith, “Gravity� would lack the gravitas that elevates the cinematic experience to infinity and beyond its CGI artistry.

8

Before Midnight Richard Linklater’s “Before� trilogy has followed Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) from their first meeting on a Vienna-bound train to an unplanned reunion in a Paris bookstore nine years later and now to married with children. The light romantic comedy of “Before Sunrise�

(1995) and “Before Sunset� (2004) has grown heavier, like the protagonists, with the onset of middle age. Their vacation on a Greek isle bristles with tension: Celine is re-

sentful of being saddled in compromises while raising their twin daughters, while self-centered Jesse has become a successful author and wants to move the family to New York — despite Celine’s attractive job offer in Paris. They have grown up, and their adult dynamics resemble real ones. Some of the improvisatory exchanges between the two actors catch lightning in a bottle, trapping the elusive essence of the moment in a magical way that could never be scripted or directed.

7

Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d’Adèle) Tunisian-born filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche’s controversial love story nabbed the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Festival de Cannes. Clocking in at almost three hours, the riveting drama fully develops the coming-of-age story of Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and her relationship with

Arts & Entertainment

The daring romantic comedy “Her,� starring Joaquin Phoenix, pictured, impressed the Weekly critics.

Emma (LÊa Seydoux), an artist sporting blue-streaked hair. The performances pulse with emotion, and the women emerge as fully realized three-dimensional characters. Although the male gaze of the camera tends to commodify the female body in the simulated lesbian sex scenes, the protracted exchanges of passion intensify the couple’s strong bond. The film also resonates on a political level, whether supporting freedom of expression or France’s recent legalization of same-sex marriage.

6

Inside Llewyn Davis Ethan and Joel Coen embark on another Homeric odyssey with music producer T-Bone Burnett (“O Brother, Where Art Thou?�), giving Oscar Isaac a breakout role as the titular singer-guitarist. The Sixties folk musician sings so soulfully at the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village, yet his personal life is in shambles. More character study than folk revival, the dark comedy delves into the question of why some talents shoot to stardom and others can’t catch a break and remain complete unknowns, like rolling stones, in the hardscrabble world of music.

5

Nebraska Alexander Payne and screenwriter Bob Nelson have turned their home state into a memorable character.

Defined by Phadon Papamichael’s elegiac black-and-white imagery of vacant main streets, desolate highways and abandoned farmhouses, Nebraska represents a vanishing way of life. The same can be said of Woody (Bruce Dern), a Midwesterner of few words and fewer dreams. Similar to his counterpart in “About Schmidt,� Woody needs a reason to live when hope arrives in the form of a mail-order sweepstakes letter. His son (SNL alumnus Will Forte) agrees to drive the stubborn old man to claim the prize money in a comic, carefully observed road trip to Lincoln, Neb. Payne tempers the sharp satire of stoicism and greed with values befitting America’s Heartland.

Woody’s face may be chiseled in granite, like those memorialized on Mount Rushmore, but his son’s actions could crack any heart of stone.

4

Blue Jasmine Woody Allen did not fashion a love letter to San Francisco (as previously to New York City, Barcelona, Paris and Rome), but “Blue Jasmineâ€? is his best film since “Match Pointâ€? in 2005. Cate Blanchett is brilliant as the title character, infusing the former socialite with the fragility and snobbery of a modern-day Blanche duBois. She, too, arrives penniless at her sister’s modest home — albeit wearing a Chanel jacket, clutching a Hermès Birkin and toting monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggage. Leveled as much by her own character flaws as by the losses incurred by her philandering, Ponzi-scamming husband (Alec Baldwin), the desperate woman is close to being crazy and homeless on the streets of San Francisco. Allen’s devastating portrait of privilege, denial and lack of self-awareness finds its perfect expression in Blanchett’s Oscar-worthy performance.

3

Her The high-concept premise — a lonely man falls in love with an operating system — sounds off-putting and creepy. But writer-director Spike Jonze has crafted a fresh, smart and sweet romantic comedy set in the not-so-distant future. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a sensitive performance as the Cyrano of Cyberculture, writing touching personal letters for people who cannot communicate with their loved ones themselves. His character is completely surprised that his newly purchased OS1 (voiced

by Scarlett Johansson) fills the void after his wife (Rooney Mara) leaves him. Subverting generic expectations, “Her� ultimately affirms the need for humans to embrace their humanity — and each other. Brava to Silicon Valley native Megan Ellison and Annapurna Pictures for producing

Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke returned this year for a third installment in Richard Linklater’s “Before� trilogy; the resulting “Before Midnight� was a hit with the Weekly.

the most daringly original work of the year.

2

The Past (Le PassĂŠ) Iranian writer-director Asghar Farhadi extends his masterful storytelling beyond “A Separation,â€? his 2012 Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Language Film. Set in Paris instead of Tehran and dealing with the finalization of a divorce after years of living apart, the nuanced drama offers yet another film of emotional and moral complexity. The past impinges upon and informs the relationship of the estranged couple, Marie (BĂŠrĂŠnice Bejo) and Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa), as well as the situation with the Frenchwoman’s boyfriend (Tahar Rahim) and her troubled teenager (Pauline Burlet). Secrets and scenarios unveil, shifting the narrative into fascinating new directions that tug on the heartstrings and encourage you to switch loyalties. Create your own ending to this tale without closure.

12 Years a Slave Perhaps only an outsider can look at the deep scars on America’s back without flinching or glancing away. British filmmaker Steve McQueen does just that.

Working from John Ridley’s adaptation of Solomon Northrup’s 1853 memoir, the director of African descent treads the ground of history that stretches from Spielberg’s “Amistad� and “Lincoln� to Tarantino’s “Django Unchained.�

He deals directly and matter-offactly with the treatment of slaves in the Cotton States — separated from family, auctioned like livestock, horrifically mistreated and sub-humanly perceived as threefifths of a person. With great emotional range, Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the educated New York freeman who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. Northrup maintains his dignity, wits and courage while reeling from disbelief, fear and despair. An excruciatingly long take of him hanging from the branch of a tree, supported by only the tips of his toes,

seems endless — and sears an indelible image of human bondage and its legacy.

Peter Canavese’s top films: 10

All is Lost In critics’ minds, J.C. Chandor’s tale of survival spent the year waltzing with “Gravity.� Both films are technically proficient (though “Gravity�’s brilliant effects, in 3D, dazzle like nothing else this year), but “All is Lost� proves a more pure and moving experience, shot through with sincere melancholy about facing death alone. Robert Redford does fine work as the only human in sight, holding the screen with the strength and frailty of mind and body under fatalistic duress.

9

In the House François Ozon’s devious adaptation of Juan Mayorga’s play “The Boy in the Last Rowâ€? was the headiest comedy of the year. The meta-literary tale of genius envy and thieved intimacy boasts deftly drawn characters, sharp performances and incisive satire: of teacher-student psychology, our increasingly voyeuristic global culture (thank you, internet), our escapism into stories fictional and “reality,â€? capricious criticism and hypocrisy, and all colors of denial.

8

The Wolf of Wall Street There’s a Dorian Gray effect at work in Martin Scorsese’s 23rd narrative feature.

Leonardo DiCaprio has finally grown up — his performance as hotshot stockbroker Jordan Belfort is the real deal — and Scorsese’s simultaneously aging in reverse. In terms of energy, this doesn’t feel like the film of a 71-year-old, even as abetted by Terence Winter’s whip-crack adapted screenplay and Thelma Schoonmaker’s brilliant editing. Sterling supporting work by Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Margot Robbie and others bolster this get-angry epic

of quintessentially American conspicuous consumption, one that rests comfortably beside “Goodfellas� and “Casino.�

7

A Hijacking Business as usual takes on new meaning in this potent, well-researched verite thriller. In work that approaches documentary realism, Søren Malling gives arguably the best performance of the year as the shipping-company CEO forced to negotiate for the lives of one of his crews. What are those lives worth, and what risks are acceptable? Writer-director Tobias Lindholm manages to make his hostage drama twice as interesting as Paul Greengrass’ superficially similar “Captain Phillips.â€?

Taken literally, “A Hijacking� is gripping drama; seen through a wider lens, it’s an allegory for today’s global economy, the ugly choices it offers to high and low, and what happens when push comes to shove.

6

The Act of Killing With the most audacious film of 2013, Joshua Oppenheimer gambled and won by allowing Indonesian death-squad thugs, “victors� of a sort, to “write� recent history as movie scenes starring themselves. Laying bare attitudes and acts that come as close as anything to “evil,� Oppenheimer gives the torturer-executioners enough rope to betray themselves and for one, unexpectedly, to find his guilt bubbling to the surface.

Weird, shocking and riveting, “The Act of Killing� means to be offensive — you should be appalled — but also fascinates in how the processes of acting, reenacting, and revisiting can offer access to unexpected emotion and inconvenient truth.

Remarkably, this black-andwhite, Manhattan-set film survives the inevitable comparison to Woody Allen’s “Manhattan,� another film that usefully explores the tension between romanticization and reality in New York City.

At Berkeley Woody Allen said that 80 percent of success is showing up, and one might say those are words the legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman lives by. This time, Wiseman shows up at U.C. Berkeley, which just by being there becomes a potent symbol. Concretely, it is that sui generis institution fired into shape by the student protests of the ‘60s, but it also stands in here for the tenuous space occupied by public (higher) education and how any school functions as a microcosm of its community.

Before Midnight The third in a trilogy shared by co-writers Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke and director Richard Linklater continues to foster dramatic intimacy and tension by radically prioritizing conversation. If the honeymoon is long since over for Delpy’s Celine and Hawke’s Delpy, they offer a good facsimile of one on a Greek family vacation — until, that is, modern-family issues crack open festering resentments, unleashing bitter recrimination and scary midlife evaluation. Plus, as is his wont, Linklater makes room for enter-

12 Years a Slave The year’s top tale of physical and emotional survival wasn’t “All is Lost� or “Gravity� but this wrenching film adapted from free Northerner Solomon Northup’s autobiographical account of being pressed into slavery. Without succumbing to either undue caution or melodrama, director Steve McQueen thoughtfully unfolds a serious drama of the undeniable pain and the considerably more interesting existential threat of slavery. Chiwetel Ejiofor impeccably traces the odyssey of Northup: beginning with contentedness devastated; proceeding through torture, despairing denial and self-awareness; and arriving at someplace unsettlingly like and unlike his starting point.

Friendly, tasty Japanese fare Homey Dohatsuten has something for everyone

by Sheila Himmel | Photos by Veronica Weber

J

apanese restaurants can be so intimidating. All the rituals, the untranslated lists of menu items, the feeling that everyone but you knows what to do. Welcome to Dohatsuten, where they may not know your name, but you’ll get a greeting, a thank you and any explanation you need.

Another thing not to worry about: Dohatsuten’s menu is not carved into arcane specialties.

It’s all about finding something you like. If you don’t like cold seared white tuna you might like fried chicken or a soul-warming noodle soup.

Your favorite dish could very well be yakimeshi: rice cooked in an iron pot so that it acquires a fabulous crust, sort of an inner bowl that you break up and stir into the rest of the sticky rice and whatever toppings you’ve selected, from pickled mustard leaf to grilled eel. At Dohatsuten they give you two metal spoons with which to scrape the sides — which you will want to do.

You also will want to share, or bring home the leftovers. Portions are large.

Dohatsuten is a good place for families, groups and people dining alone. Look for the little pitched roof and chimney among bland flattop buildings on San Antonio Road. At lunch and in the summer, about 20 people can sit outdoors at picnic tables, far enough away from traffic that they’re not eating exhaust.

Rush hour occurs precisely be-

Dohatsuten’s signature ramen features spicy garlic pork, shredded chili, kurobata chasu pork, stewed taro pork, cabbage, carrots, green onions, chives, bean sprouts, nori and egg. tween noon and 1 p.m. on weekdays. Even then, the staff is nice about it. “Sorry for your wait,� a server said recently to those of us who had waited maybe 10 minutes.

The signature Dohatsuten ramen ($9.95) reflects the owner’s roots in Nagoya, a city known for its unusual style of comfort foods.

Choose your broth (among them are both soy and vegetarian soy) and your fillings include types of

pork (grilled, belly and spicy garlic pork ground into balls), half an egg, shredded chili, carrots and green onions. Bean sprouts sprinkled on top stay crisp. Korean-style spicy Napa cabbage (kimchee) gives it a kick, but not too much kick. The kimchee works perfectly in slightly sweet miso ponzu broth.

You can also make a meal of tapas, small hot and cold plates such as fried chicken karage

Kat Nguyen, a server at Dohatsuten Japanese restaurant in Palo Alto, stands with a plate of Tan Shio in the restaurant’s dining room. ($6.95), boiled spinach ($3.95), fried tofu in dashi broth ($4.95) and white tuna tataki ($8.45) seared with ponzu.

We especially liked the ten-

der licks of grilled beef tongue ($8.45) and onigiri ($4.95), which the menu calls rice balls, ­VÂœÂ˜ĂŒÂˆÂ˜Ă•i`ĂŠÂœÂ˜ĂŠÂ˜iĂ?ĂŒĂŠÂŤ>}iÂŽ

NEW BLOOMIES UNDERWAY AT MALL ... A new Bloomingdale’s is scheduled to open at Stanford Shopping Center later this year. It will be located in the former parking lot in front of the current Bloomingdale’s, which will remain open until the new three-story building is completed, according to a source familiar with the construction. Plans then call for the older building to be demolished to make way for a cluster of small stores. “We’re shooting for an October opening. The store will have about the same square footage as it does now, but the new Bloomingdale’s will be taller and narrower,� the source said.

Dohatsuten replaced a previous Japanese tapas restaurant, Hattoriya, about four years ago. Dohatsuten means ... nothing, really.

TWO NEWCOMERS, FOUR GONERS DOWNTOWN ... Lots of movement lately in downtown Palo Alto. Brand-new to University Avenue is Marine Layer, a San Francisco-based clothing store that opened last month at 435 University. It initially came to Palo Alto as a holiday pop-up store but now looks like it may be a keeper. “We’ll be at this location for at least a couple more months,� Marine Layer marketing

director Meg Williams said, adding: “We’ll see how our sales do, but we’re very excited we finally found a spot in Palo Alto.� This is Marine Layer’s third store in the Bay Area. The company, which also has locations in Venice, Calif., and Portland, Ore., says all of its clothing uses 100 percent California-made fabric. Another fairly new business downtown is Infinite Beauty, a skin-care shop at 267 University. The menu for facials has prices ranging from $50 for a 20-minute eye treatment to more than $500 for a “Platinum Facial.� Among businesses that will no longer grace the street, at least for now, is Rudy’s Pub, whose last day in business was Jan. 1. The pub was a 50-plusyear fixture in Palo Alto that was a throwback to the 1960s, according to one patron who described himself as a regular named Joe. “I don’t go for fancy. Rudy’s has everything I need. They know me. I know them. Just grab me a beer,� he said. Pub owner Megan Kawkab said some her “regulars� have been coming to Rudy’s for 45 years. “I’m going to miss this place. I know every square inch of every nook and cranny,� Kawkab said. But she also expressed optimism. “We hope to reopen just down the street in six months, maybe less. I can’t tell you exactly where yet, but it will be on University Avenue,� she said.

And although Rudy’s is gone, its sister restaurant, The Patio, which opened in 2011, will remain in business at 412 Emerson St. Also gone is Mango Caribbean, a Jamaican-style restaurant at 435 Hamilton Ave. Best known for its jerk chicken, it closed in November after eight years in business. Empire Vintage Clothing, which sold clothing and costumes from the 1940s through the ‘80s, closed its doors last week at 443 Waverley St. and will be opening later this month in Mountain View, at 831 Villa St. “My rent went up by 35 percent. There’s just not enough foot traffic anymore to justify that increase. There are too many restaurants downtown and people don’t come here to shop like they used to,� Empire Vintage owner Tiffany Gush said. She said the move to Mountain View is a prudent one because “The rent is cheaper, and the space is bigger.�

And the 65-year-old art supply and gift store University Art announced that it plans to close its 267 Hamilton Ave. location this spring and move to Redwood City. N

The front yard of a Palo Alto home was re-landscaped with tips from Houzz.com, a Palo Alto-based website for home remodeling and design.

hat happens when you

W

combine the words house

and buzz?

The answer is the online community “Houzz,� where design is democratic, said Liza Hausman, vice president of community at Houzz. “Houzz is a website and mobile app for home remodeling and design,� Hausman said. “It helps homeowners all the way through their home build, remodel or decorating project.�

Co-founders and Palo Alto residents Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen created the online community while remodeling their own home in 2009. Houzz officially became a company the following year.

Houzz inspires, educates and connects, Hausman said. Users include homeowners and design professionals such as architects, interior designers, landscapers and contractors.

Because the company earns revenue from ad-

vertising, Hausman added, using Houzz is free for homeowners and professionals alike.

More than two million high-resolution images of renovated homes are accessible through Houzz, Hausman said, and users can save images they like to online folders called “ideabooks.� “Homeowners can use (ideabooks) collaboratively with an architect, designer or contractor who they hire. Visuals are an effective way for homeowners who do not have the language of design to communicate,� she said.

Houzz also includes a budgeting tool called the “Real Cost Finder,� which shows cost ranges for projects, materials, labor and products based on ZIP code.

To date, more than 16 million homeowners use the free website each month. The Houzz mobile app, also free and available for both iOS and Android platforms, has been downloaded more then 12 million times, Hausman said. “Many professionals around the country and in Palo Alto are getting new clients (by using Houzz),� Hausman said. “They are able to showcase their work to a much broader audience than before, when things were more strictly word of mouth.�

Rebecca Thompson, who moved to Palo Alto from Seattle with her family more than four years ago, used Houzz for a landscaping project at her home in the Palo Verde neighborhood.

While the initial impetus for Thompson’s landscaping project was the removal of an old backyard swimming pool, she said she and her husband decided to replace all their landscaping to complement their Eichler home.

Thompson said her time perusing Houzz initially started off as a guilty pleasure, but it ended up paying off — both financially and aesthetically.

Because Houzz facilitates communication between homeowners and design professionals, Thompson said she thoroughly researched the details of the project herself. She estimated that Houzz saved them thousands of dollars in consulting fees. “Houzz was a critical resource for decisionmaking,� Thompson said.

By sharing her Houzz ideabooks with her landscape designer and also her contractor, Thompson said she was able to have directed conversations about the project that otherwise ­VÂœÂ˜ĂŒÂˆÂ˜Ă•i`ĂŠÂœÂ˜ĂŠÂŤ>}iÊә)

might have required paid consultants. “We were able to do a much higher-end project for less money,� she said.

Using Houzz is like having access to thousands of housing and design magazines, Thompson added, but with streamlined search options. “If you see a picture you like, you can find out what the materials are,� Thompson said. “Through Houzz, we were able to contact professionals and ask questions like, ‘What size cinder blocks?’ or ‘What color concrete?’�

And asking professionals lots of questions is exactly what Thompson did.

When Thompson searched for “Eichler landscaping� on Houzz, she said she viewed an image of a combination cinder

block wall and fountain that she loved.

Through Houzz, Thompson said she contacted the company that posted the photo, Huettl Landscape Architecture of Walnut Creek. By talking with them, Thompson

‘We were able to do a much higher-end project for less money.’ —Rebecca Thompson, homeowner, Palo Alto said she learned specifics about the project that allowed her to customize her own cinder-block wall and fountain. “We were able to take an idea that we loved and modify it for our own needs and scale,� Thompson said.

Thompson said she also learned that the cinder blocks in the Houzz image came from a commercial supplier, Calstone. So she went to Calstone to ask questions about cinder blocks and said she ended up getting a custom product for her property. “I ended up working directly with a (Calstone) guy who is a plant manager,� Thompson said. “Cinder blocks come in all different faces and colors; there are standard and custom colors. If a commercial project does a custom color, they might have an overrun.

(My) blocks are just cinder blocks, but they have a slice taken off them, to expose the aggregate underneath them. They are also only 6 inches high, which is not standard.�

Even though Calstone usually only works

with commercial clients, Thompson said her contact there asked to see pictures of everything related to her finished project.

Linking design professionals and homeowners is what sets Houzz apart in the crowded online social-networking market, Thompson said. “Houzz let us imagine things we would not have been able to dream up on our own,� Thompson said. “It makes design so much more accessible.� N

o, why does Mother Nat u re a l low young plants to die for good gardeners? What is the reason for us being here anyway? How did we manage to get this far already without being wiped out by a meteor, a volcanic shift or a cosmic convergence? And why do weeds grow better than flowers?

It is time for some pruning, and if you are sitting around as I am asking all these simple-minded, easily answered questions, then you are a lazy bones and need to get back to work.

But first, to get the questions out of the way.

If nature wasn’t random in its service to gardeners, it would not be nature.

We struggle to make good gardens.

The struggle is as important as the results. Luck is how we got this far so far, nothing more, nothing less. And weeds grow better than cultivated plants because the ones that survive are ideal for where they are.

We try to choose or create an ideal environment for the plants we select.

Weeds thrive or die by ideal environment or natural selection. Our choice

is by control or desire; theirs is survival. Actually, we have a much higher success rate. Their advantage is in numbers. A little cultivation shifts that advantage to us in our gardens.

Here are this month’s tips: 1. Time for winter pruning. Remove everything dead, dying and diseased.

Leave no stubs.

2. Plant trees, shrubs and vines.

997 All Other Legals NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: RICHARD T. BURRESS Case No.: 113PR173148 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of RICHARD T. BURRESS, RICHARD BURRESS. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: LEE BURRESS DUBOC in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. The Petition for Probate requests that: LEE BURRESS DUBOC be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on January 22, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: 12 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA, 95113.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The sale will be made in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;as isâ&#x20AC;? condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: RAMON BERNAL, AN UNMARRIED MAN Duly Appointed Trustee: NATIONAL DEFAULT SERVICING CORPORATION Recorded 09/20/2006 as Instrument No. 19110229 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of SANTA CLARA County, California. Date of Sale: 01/10/2014 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the North Market Street entrance to the County Courthouse, 191 North Market Street, San Jose, CA 95113 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $758,036.60 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 803 WAKE FOREST ROAD, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94043 A.P.N.: 160-05-043 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The undersigned mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent for the mortgagee or beneficiary pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b) declares that the mortgagee, beneficiary or the mortgageeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authorized agent has either contacted the borrower or tried with due diligence to contact the borrower as required by California Civil Code 2923.5. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be

PREP HOOPS . . . The 2013 high school basketball season came to an end this past week without any teams bringing home titles. Two squads won consolation championships in local tournaments while the Eastside Prep girls wound up fourth in the 16-team Coaches vs. Cancer Classic that finished up Tuesday night in East Palo Alto. The host Panthers (8-4) dropped a tough 4237 decision to state-ranked Mitty in the third-place game, despite playing with only five players. Chacitty Cunningham had a season-high 14 points for Eastside Prep with 6-foot-3 Destiny Graham adding 10.

The Panthers led after one quarter, 12-9, trailed at the half (24-22) and got within three points before missing on a three-point attempt with under 20 seconds to play. The Menlo-Atherton and Menlo School girls, meanwhile, continued their preparations for the upcoming league basketball seasons by capturing consolation titles in tournaments that concluded on Monday. MenloAtherton rallied to defeat Evergreen Valley, 58-55, in the consolation finals of the Newark Memorial tournament in Fremont and Menlo posted a 53-45 win over Luther Burbank of Sacramento in the consolation finals of the Steve Geramoni Invitational at Notre Dame-Belmont. Evergreen opened a 12-point lead on M-A in the first half before M-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense tightened and Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; senior guard Emma Heath began hitting outside shots while freshman post Ofa Sili scored 10 of her team-high 19 points in the paint resulting in a 20-3 quarter. In the fourth, M-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead fell to one point with eight seconds remaining before Heath hit both of a 1-and-1 free-throw opportunity to seal the victory as she finished with 16 points and the Bears improved to 6-2. M-A junior forward Naomi Baer finished with 11 points. In Belmont, all-tournament selection Donya Dehnad tossed in 16 points as Menlo School rolled to a 15-point halftime lead on the way its victory. Hannah Paye and Mackenzie Duffner each added 13 points for the Knights (6-4) while Anna Miller grabbed seven rebounds. In Salinas, Castilleja dropped a 58-53 overtime decision to Salinas in the seventh-place game of the Monterey Bay Sweet 16 Tournament at Notre Dame-Salinas. The Gators (5-7) were led by Paige Vermeer, who finished with 23 points (with five 3-pointers), nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals.

Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Rector (3) made a leaping catch, but had the ball taken away from him by Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trae Waynes (15), ruining a possible scoring opportunity in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday in Pasadena.

Rose Bowl win just eludes Stanford Cardinal running game stopped by Michigan State in crucial moments of 24-20 loss

by Rick Eymer he 100th Rose Bowl Game, from a Stanford point of view, will be remembered for one thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the Cardinal needed to run the ball, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

No one knew that better than Stanford senior Tyler Gaffney.

After gaining 67 yards (47 coming on one run) and scoring on

T

a 16-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, he was held to just 24 yards on 18 carries the final three quarters.

Not too surprisingly, as Gaffney was stopped, so too was No. 5 Stanford as it let a 17-7 lead disappear in a frustrating 24-20 loss to the No. 4-ranked Spartans before an announced crowd of 95,173 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on

(13-1). Yet, when Stanford needed just one yard with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter and the ball on its 34, the Cardinal failed to keep the drive going. End of game.

Ryan Hewitt got the call on that final carry and plowed into a line that featured some 3,000 pounds of Stanford players and equal of ­VÂ&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;i`Ă&#x160;Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x160;Â&#x2DC;iĂ?Ă&#x152;Ă&#x160;ÂŤ>}iÂŽ

100TH ROSE BOWL

Paly grad Anderson put Cardinal in position to win

by Rick Eymer alo Alto High grad Kevin Anderson got a second chance to make a good impression and the way things were going for the fifth-ranked Stanford football team, it came at a good time.

Anderson had a chance to intercept a pass early in the second quarter but he could not hold on, and it resulted in a Michigan State reception.

Stanford, which lost 24-20 to the Spartans in the 100th Rose Bowl on Wednesday, went into hibernation for much of the second quarter, gaining 22 offensive yards and giving up 157 yards, including two long scoring drives.

Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everywhere I looked there was a green defender,â&#x20AC;? Gaffney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get into the backfield right away and that immediately disrupts the run. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no space to figure something out.â&#x20AC;?

Stanford finished its 11-3 season with a single-season rushing record of 2,904 yards, 162 of that coming against the Spartans

Palo Alto High grad Kevin Anderson (48) had a 40-yard interception return in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday.

Page 44Ă&#x160;UĂ&#x160; >Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;>Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x17E;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x17D;]Ă&#x160;Ă&#x201C;ä£{Ă&#x160;UĂ&#x160;*>Â?Â&#x153;Ă&#x160; Â?Ă&#x152;Â&#x153;Ă&#x160;7iiÂ&#x17D;Â?Ă&#x17E;Ă&#x160;UĂ&#x160;Ă&#x153;Ă&#x153;Ă&#x153;°*>Â?Â&#x153; Â?Ă&#x152;Â&#x153;"Â&#x2DC;Â?Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;i°VÂ&#x153;Â&#x201C;

Anderson, who also recorded a tackle for a loss in the quarter, made sure he hung on the next time the ball came his way.

His heads-up play turned into a 40yard interception return for a score kept the Cardinal in front at 17-7. It was his first career interception and marked Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37th forced turnover in its past 38 games.

After the Spartans closed to within 10-7, helped in large part by a pass interference call on Wayne Lyons in the end zone on a third-and-goal play, Stanford made it as far as midfield before punting the ball away. Half of the ­VÂ&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;i`Ă&#x160;Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x160;Â&#x2DC;iĂ?Ă&#x152;Ă&#x160;ÂŤ>}iÂŽ

Despite the loss, Stanford finished a four-year run that saw the Cardinal play in four straight BCS games and go 46-8 overall (only Alabama at 47-6 is better during that time). Only two of those losses were by more than a touchdown. Shaw is now 34-7 in his three seasons.

Shaw praised his senior class, which he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the most accomplished group of football players to ever go through Stanford University. Regardless of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcome, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth . . . Four straight BCS games . . . itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare company.â&#x20AC;?

Still, there was no Hollywood ending for Stanford this season as it played a virtual mirror image of itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two teams that play great defense, that run the ball and try to make big plays in the passing game,â&#x20AC;? Shaw explained of the matchup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One has got to win, one has got to lose, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make enough plays for us to be on the right side . . . They played better.

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan rushed eight times for 41 yards against Michigan State. in and saved the day, at least for the time being. He was right in the middle of what was supposed to be a screen pass.

Usua Amanam pressured MSU quarterback Connor Cook into rushing his throw and Anderson gladly accepted the ball and raced 40 yards for the score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard the crowd yelling and saws Kevin with the ball,â&#x20AC;? said Amanam, the Defensive MVP of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rose Bowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was glad to see Kevin make the play, after all the hard work he has put in.â&#x20AC;?

The Spartans only needed 1:39 to respond with another touchdown, to close within 17-14 by halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took advantage of their opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Stanford free safety Ed Reynolds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we prepared for is exactly what they did.â&#x20AC;?

fense, quarterback Kevin Hogan, who lost to a ranked opponent for the first time in 11 starts, thinks Stanford will continue to be in future Pac-12 title hunts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got back to the Rose Bowl this year and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang our heads,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to go out with a loss but these guys have been doing such a great job for four years.â&#x20AC;?

six plays either lost yardage or did not gain yardage.

The Cardinal woes continued after holding Michigan State on its next possession. It started on the Spartans punt when Patrick Skov was nailed with a personal foul and Stanford was forced start on its own eight.

A false start cost Stanford another four yards and Tyler Gaffney lost two yards on an ill-advised Wildcat play, in which he took the direct snap. Gaffney made up three yards on the next play but an incomplete pass forced Ben Rhyne to punt.

Rhyne entered the game averaging 3.6 punts a contest. He punted five times against Michigan State for an average of 49.8.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Anderson stepped

Shayne Skov said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some and we missed some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You fight all season to get to these moments, to have these opportunities . . . so to lose is incredibly difficult. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with the way we played but it definitely hurts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to lose.â&#x20AC;?

Michigan State freshman Mike Geiger kicked a 31-yard field goal to tie the game at 17 early in the second quarter after the Cardinal gave up a 61-yard pass play.

Stanford made it look too easy on its opening drive. A 43-yard pass from Hogan to Rector opened the field for Gaffney, who went the final 16 yards of the 7-play, 77-yard drive.

The Cardinal scored again on a 34-yard field goal by Williamson late in the first quarter. Gaffneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 47-yard jaunt helped give Stanford good field position.

The highlights for Stanford, however, were few and far between. Palo Alto High grad Kevin Anderson picked off Cook and returned it 40 yards in the second quarter for the final Cardinal touchdown of the game.

into the game, wide receiver Ty Montgomery, was held to three catches for 21 yards before injuring his left knee on a kickoff return early in the fourth quarter and did not return. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an MRI to determine the extent of the damage.

On the other side, Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense stuffed the run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; allowing just 65 yards on 35 carries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the Spartans went to the air and gained 325 of its 397 yards after the first quarter.

Connor Cook threw for a careerhigh 332 yards, just 56 in the first quarter, and a pair of touchdowns as he rallied the Spartans.

Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-yard touchdown toss to Tony Lippett was the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter.

Jordan Williamson kicked his second field goal of the game with 4:15 remaining to make it 24-20.

Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense did itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job and got the ball back with enough time for a possible winning drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just realize that if we kept going, kept getting after it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get opportunities to make plays,â&#x20AC;? Stanford senior linebacker

Â&#x153;Â&#x2026;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x160;/Â&#x153;``Ă&#x2030;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Â&#x2C6;ÂŤÂ&#x2026;Â&#x153;Ă&#x152;Â&#x153;Ă&#x192;°VÂ&#x153;Â&#x201C;

that for Michigan State. There was simply no place to run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to give it to Michigan State for stuffing that because everybody in the building knew exactly what was coming, a run up the middle,â&#x20AC;? said Gaffney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a test of wills, and they got the better of us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came off the ball and we got about a foot and a half,â&#x20AC;? Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were six inches short.â&#x20AC;?

Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consensus All-America offensive lineman David Yankey said there was a little more to it than that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest they gave us a look we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect at all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came down to that one play and they stopped us . . .

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the best defenses in the nation, and they proved it on every play.â&#x20AC;?

Stanford head coach David Shaw defended his call because being successful on those plays during the season got the Cardinal to its second straight Rose Bowl Game for only the second time in school history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that (run on short yardage), everybody goes crazy that we should have done this or should have that, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about any of that stuff,â&#x20AC;?

Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to put the ball in the hands of our guys and put it on the offensive line. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go for it on fourth down in that situation . . . We got beat by a really good football team.â&#x20AC;?

The Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, featuring a nine-man line that dared Stanford to throw, locked down on the Cardinal after allowing two scoring drives in the first quarter.

Stanford continued to put itself into hazardous situations after taking a 10-0 advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the first quarter they become more movement-oriented,â&#x20AC;? said Yankey, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely give up his final year of eligibility and turn pro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a lot of stuff and were able to play their style.â&#x20AC;?

Gaffney, who lost 26 yards on carries through the first 13 games, was thrown for a loss a total of 15 yards against the Spartans.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have nine in the box,â&#x20AC;?

Gaffney explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made adjustments after the first couple runs first couple of drives of the series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond like we needed to.â&#x20AC;?

Another defining fourth-down play came with the game tied at 17 in the third quarter and Stanford on Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36. Gaffney was called upon, as expected, and the Spartans knew it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tossing him for a three-yard loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at what they do,â&#x20AC;?

Shaw said of MSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nine-man front. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole bunch of guys in there.â&#x20AC;?

Stanford seemed unstoppable early, gaining 146 yards in the first quarter. The Cardinal moved the ball 159 yards over the final three quarters combined.

Hogan, who completed 10 of 18 passes, with one interception, for 143 yards and no touchdowns, completed a 43-yarder to Michael Rector to open the game and a 51-yarder to Devon Cajuste. Take away those two completions and Hogan was 8-for-16 for just 49 yards. His best weapon coming
