Officials seek residents’ vision for city by Gennady Sheyner

ew Palo Alto residents have the time and appetite to come to City Hall for discussions about the future, unless that future includes new buildings going up on their blocks, traffic lanes being reduced on their streets or parking spaces disappearing from their neighborhoods. With that in mind, City Hall will kindly come to them. Starting this week and continuing throughout this year and much of the next, city officials are preparing to host a wave of community hearings, social events, online forums, expert panels and coffee meet-ups as part of an ambitious effort to get residents buzzing about the Comprehensive Plan. The city is now in the midst of updating the plan, which is often referred to as the city’s “land-use bible,” and will outline the city’s official vision on everything from land-use and transportation to housing and community services. On Monday, the City Council discussed and tacitly approved staff’s broad plan to engage the populace, a strategy that seeks to inject some vitality into a process that has been quietly simmering behind the scenes for the past eight years. Since the council decided in 2006 to update the Comprehensive Plan, the revision process has been outpaced by the facts on the ground. With the economy now booming, the council’s former focus on sustaining commercial development in town has been upended by angst about protecting local neighborhoods from too much growth. Recent trends and events (including proposals for dense new development, downtown’s worsening parking shortage and the public’s rejection of a housing development on Maybell Avenue in a vote last November) have added urgency to the effort and prompted the council to hit the reset button on the entire process. Now, the city is on a new path to complete the update by the end of 2015. To that effect, the council Monday night discussed an engagement plan that includes (among many other efforts) in-person and virtual meetings, coffee sit-downs with city planners and street stalls in neighborhoods throughout the city. A new citizens-advisory panel will also be formed to aid the city in getting feedback from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented at City Hall, including ethnic minorities, renters and residents between 20 and 40 years old. The city will also continue to hold its Our Palo Alto panel series, which kicked off on April 23 with a discussion titled “Who Are We?” The Comprehensive Plan update ­V Ì Õi`Ê Ê«>}iÊ£x®

Around Town

LEADING THE CHARGE ... Palo Alto’s vocal legion of electricvehicle advocates scored a victory last year, when the city adopted a new rule requiring all new single-family homes to include circuitry that accommodates vehicle-charging stations. Next week, a City Council committee will consider extending the requirement to new multi-family complexes and nonresidential developments. In the interim, it’s celebration time. On Monday, members of a citizen task force that helped draft the new ordinance received kudos, and a special proclamation, from the council for its contributions. Peter Pirnejad, the city’s development services director, lauded the fact that Palo Alto has one of the highest percapita rates of electric-vehicle drivers in the state (and, thus, in the nation). Yet both city officials and residents Monday, clearly enjoying road-related puns, said that more needs to be done. “We need to pave the way for electric vehicles and remove barriers if we are to be leaders in the promotion of electric vehicles,” Pirnejad said. “We are the icebreakers,” said Sven Thesen, a resident who has installed a charging station in front of his Evergreen Park home, of the city. “We are the ones leading this, and it’s critical that we ... electrify our transportation system as quickly as possible.” Councilman Greg Scharff, who owns a Tesla and whose office is located in Evergreen Park, thanked Thesen for the charging station, which Scharff said he had recently used. Though Thesen doesn’t charge drivers for using his curb-side station, he noted in response to Scharff that some choose to drop off gifts. “Tesla owners have been known to drop off bottles of wine,” Thesen said. “Leafs drop off beer. Generally cheap beer, too.” COMPASSIONATE CROWDFUNDING ... Mountain View-based Silicon Valley Community Foundation’s SVGives, the region’s first “crowdfunding” event to benefit more than 600 local nonprofit organizations, considered its event Tuesday a smashing success. The 24-hour give-a-thon raised $7.9 millon, with 14,633 unique donors and a total of 21,567 donations. Numerous Palo Alto nonprofits topped the donation list, with TheatreWorks receiving $100,801; InnVision Shelter Network,

$53,035; and Downtown Streets Team, $24,580. East Palo Alto’s Project WeHOPE brought in $43,838; and Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties received $48,083. The Community Foundation raised $2.8 million in preparation for the event, to fund matching gifts and incentives for nonprofit organizations. Donations were made through the Razoo Foundation, a crowdfunding nonprofit, which will forward 95.1 percent of each donation on to the designated nonprofit. Still have that giving feeling? Online donations will continue to be accepted all year at www.svgives.org. WHAT PROBLEM? ... An outof-town visitor touring Palo Alto’s downtown garages would be justifiably shocked to learn that the area is going through a parking crisis. According to a new survey by city planners, about 30 percent of “permit” spaces in downtown’s parking structures remain empty outside the busy lunch hour. At the same time, residential streets around downtown’s commercial core have parking-congestion rates so high they defy mathematical boundaries (in some cases, the occupancy rate on the streets is “exceeding 100 percent,” planners found). An effort by the city to sell more permits to fill garage spots has done little good. The city’s data indicates that while many downtown employers want to buy parking permits (as evidenced by regular waiting lists), they are less eager to use them. On March 12, a survey of four garages showed about 82 percent of the permit spots occupied, a figure that slipped to 64 percent on April 2 and then inched up to 65 percent on April 25. “The data indicates that despite significant efforts to oversell the number of permits available, many visitors and workers are still parking in the residential streets,” a report from the planning department states. EXCEPTIONAL AT MATH ... Palo Alto High School juniors Daniel Cohen Wang and Luke Liao and seniors Jared Filseth and Grace Lin have qualified for the USA Math Olympiad. They will now compete with 256 students nationwide for the six seats on the USA International Math Olympiad Team. N

Smaller council, other reforms eyed for Palo Alto ballot Proposed changes include looser term limit, fewer council members by Gennady Sheyner

T

he Palo Alto City Council will consider on Monday asking voters to approve a looser term limit for council members, a seven- rather than ninemember council and swearing-in ceremonies for new members that take place earlier in the year. If the council decides to place these reforms to the City Charter on the November ballot — which will already see the election of five council members — voters will have a chance to significantly change not just the composition of the council but its very structure. The crowded ballot is also slated to include a proposal to raise the hotel-tax rate and reforms to the utility users tax. The proposals to loosen council term limits from two to three terms and reduce seats from nine to seven emerged from a memo authored last year by Mayor Nancy Shepherd, Vice Mayor Liz Kniss and Councilwoman Gail Price. In the June 2013 memo, the trio argued that a “steep learning curve” is required to be an effective council member and that it

takes time for council members to gain the necessary expertise and seniority to represent the city on regional boards such as the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and Caltrain. “Term limits interrupt this process,” the memo stated. “Under the current charter, members can sit out an election cycle and re-run for two more terms, but we consider this disruptive and not in the city’s interest. “We think Palo Alto will be better served by extending consecutive terms.” The city’s two-term limit has been in place since 1992, a provision meant to encourage more people to get involved in governing. The three councilwomen noted in the memo that some agencies have been rethinking this rule. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, where Liz Kniss served until her final term expired in 2012, recently increased its limit from two to three terms. The council will also consider on Monday an alternative that would scrap term limits entirely.

candidate, co-founder of Friends of Palo Alto Parks and founding president of Silicon Valley Bank. On April 29, Smith asked the council to make the change. He pointed out that Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Redwood City have seven council members, while San Mateo, which has a population of 99,000, has five. “I’ve spoken to a large number of community leaders who’d like to see the council reduced to seven members,” Smith said, adding that placing the measure on the November ballot would save “time, effort and money.” Another proposed Charter revision calls for swearing in new council members on the first business day of January. This would depart from the current practice of holding the ceremony on the first business Monday of the year, which could be as late as Jan. 8. The change was proposed in a memo by Councilmen Larry Klein and Greg Schmid, who argued that the delay is unnecessary and counter-productive. Because terms of outgoing

The same memo also proposes cutting the number of seats from nine to seven, a subject that the full council has yet to discuss. Shepherd, Kniss and Price wrote in the memo that having nine council members is unusual for a city of Palo Alto’s size. “Menlo Park is a five member council; we consider this to be too small. On the other hand, Mountain View has seven, and we think that this could bring efficiencies of meeting effectiveness and workload which deserves discussion and consideration while also reducing costs,” the memo stated. The topic of reducing the size of the council has been popping up sporadically every few years since 1972, when the council reduced its membership from 15 to nine. Supporters of the reduction include Roger Smith, a former council

council members expire on Dec. 31 and new members aren’t sworn in until the Monday meeting, the city risks “not having sufficient council members on hand to act if an emergency should arise,” Klein and Schmid wrote. Furthermore, if the outgoing members include the mayor and the vice mayor, the city would have no one in these positions until the reorganization meeting, the council members wrote. The change would also give council members more time for business. By dedicating the first business Monday solely for the swearing-in and election of mayor and vice mayor, the city typically leaves itself with only two Mondays in January when it can actually conduct regular business (the third Monday of the year is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). “At the very time when enthusiasm is high — particularly in years when new people are joining the council — we in effect are dawdling,” Klein and Schmid wrote. “Join us in supporting this simple change in our schedule.” N

The Jisser family would buy the mobile homes for their appraised value and pay for first- and lastmonth’s rent, a security deposit and 12 months in rent subsidies for the difference between the rent at Buena Vista and the rent at residents’ new locations. Persons moving into one-bedroom apartments would receive be-

tween $12,000 to $16,300 for relocation; those moving into three-bedroom apartments would receive $20,000 to $30,600, according to the report. The hearing is scheduled for May 12 through 14, when attorneys for the 400 residents and the Jissers will square off before independent Administrative Law Judge Craig Labadie. The hearing will be held at Avenidas Senior Center, 450 Bryant St., Palo Alto, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Labadie is expected to make a tentative ruling at the hearing, with a final decision in writing. The public will have a chance to speak at the hearing after legal arguments are made. Buena Vista residents can appeal Labadie’s ruling to the Palo Alto City Council if he accepts the report. The council cannot stop Buena Vista’s closure; an appeal would be limited to the compensation terms, city officials have said.

Palo Alto company tackles toxic plumes New application by Terradex maps out contaminated sites, cleanup efforts by Gennady Sheyner

P

alo Alto resident Bob Wenzlau may be best known locally as the pioneer of the city’s curbside recycling program and a leading advocate for a new compost facility, but in recent months he and his company, Terradex, shifted their focus to a different type of waste: the contaminants buried under industrial sites throughout Silicon Valley. The murky and complex topic of groundwater contamination has been a hot one in cities like Palo Alto, where a toxic plume under what is known as the “Hewlett Packard-Varian site� in the Stanford Research Park raises perpetual concerns about new developments. And in Mountain View, contamination has been found under an industrial site around North Whisman Road, a legacy left by computer companies that occupied the site in the 1970s. Groundwater in both cities contain trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical that has been deemed a carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. Though regulatory agencies have long detailed the potential harm of TCE, including neurological and reproductive, the information about specific Silicon Valley cities isn’t easy for a layman to find. Data about these underground contaminants are dispersed throughout dozens of different databases, Wenzlau said, making it difficult for city officials and residents to access and understand the information. This, in turn, makes it hard for cleanup efforts to generate momentum. To remedy the situation, Terradex created a Web application that consolidates all the information for each Superfund site in the Silicon Valley, as well as for dozens of other contaminated areas. It maps out each toxic plume, provides information about the chemicals and links to pertinent reports from government agencies. Also, rather than illustrating the contamination sites’ single points, the company’s map stretches them into polygons to give viewers a better idea of each plume’s reach. The application, known as CleanDeck 2.0 and available at http:// cleanupdeck.terradex.com, also provides information about status of the cleanup at each site; maps out areas where environmental protections have been implemented; and illustrates where land-use restrictions exist because of the contamination. It also maps out “sensitive uses� such as schools and day care centers so that users can see the proximity of these amenities to the toxic plumes. In a January blog post announcing the new application, Wenzlau noted that hundreds of groundwater plumes exist across Silicon

Valley, and “many contain volatile chemicals that could migrate upwards to occupied structures and then be inhaled by occupants.� “Over the past 30 years, industry has transformed to new office parks hosting businesses like Google and Facebook,� the post stated. “The workforce is smart, growing and young — but also vulnerable to carcinogenic vapors from shallow contaminated groundwater plumes from legacy businesses.� Wenzlau said he was partially inspired to pursue this project by the fact that his daughter works around Santana Row in San Jose, near another contaminated site. Also, he has friends who work at Google and who may benefit from knowing about harmful contaminants buried underneath the company’s campus. The goal, he said, is to make the information clear and easily available. “I think that too much of the environmental data is designed for environment scientists, not for the public,� Wenzlau told the Weekly. “I also believe that once people know more about these hidden toxics, the cleanup process and the oversight process would be strengthened and speeded up. Because these plumes, they have been here for 35 years and at the pace they’re going, they’ll be here for another 50 years.� The new application is a starting point for what Wenzlau hopes will evolve into a broader effort to bring residents, employers, workers and environmental experts together in a network focused on cleaning up the contamination. Each site on Cleanup Deck 2.0 includes links to Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn, and the goal is to create a system through which residents can com-

ment on sites and offer input on ongoing cleanup efforts. The hope is that the software will create a Yelp of sorts for contaminated sites, with people observing, commenting and updating each other about particular sites. At the same time, he hopes city planners in places like Mountain View and Palo Alto, where his company is based, will use the application. The maps, he said, help illustrate the magnitude of the challenge faced by local, state and federal officials charged with cleaning up the toxins. “It reveals how unprotected we are because the environmental protections are so much proportionally smaller than the area of impact,� Wenzlau said. Ultimately, the goal is to expand the program from merely illustrating the problem to providing solutions for individuals in impacted areas. As the application evolves, Wenzlau said the company plans to add features that would connect residents and companies with laboratories that can test homes for vapors or help install controls above the plumes to limit exposure. “By putting together this concept, we’re hoping we’ll be part of the value circle that offers some testing or helps offer controls through partners that we’re working with,� Wenzlau said.

Palo Alto to add fees for new developments Council committee: How greatly does Palo Alto’s work force burden municipal services? by Gennady Sheyner

N

o one doubts that the City of Palo Alto spends more on public safety and City Hall services due to its ballooning daytime population of workers. Yet the effort to recover costs for employees’ use of city services is tricky, the City Council Finance Committee discovered Tuesday night. Accurate data about the city’s work force is lacking, and committee members struggled to determine what share of these costs should be footed by whom. Even as the committee voted 3-1, with Karen Holman dissenting, to adopt new fees that will be charged to developers of new buildings, members acknowledged that the fee formula they settled on will have to be further revised in the next year or two, as better data about the city’s employees come in. Already, the city charges impact fees on new developments to pay for future wear-and-tear on parks, roads, libraries and community centers and for other city services. The impact fees that the committee signed off on Tuesday fall into two categories. One new fee would help the city pay for publicsafety facilities (including, most

notably, the planned $57 million public-safety building the city hopes to build in the coming years). The other falls under the broader category of “general government,” which includes such things as information-technology upgrades and various infrastructure projects relating to city facilities. Under a formula produced by the city’s consultant, David Taussig & Associates, new developments would pay for about 15 percent of these facilities’ costs. On Tuesday, the committee wrestled with a question that has been at the heart of most recent debates involving new developments: Are residents subsidizing the costs to the city brought on by new office buildings and their tenants, particularly downtown? That question has come up repeatedly during recent discussions over parking, with downtown residents complaining that their neighborhoods have become parking lots for employees. For Holman, the committee’s sole dissenter, the answer to the question is a resounding “yes.” The fee formula proposed by city staff and accepted by the committee allocates about 40 percent

of the costs of the impacts on city services to nonresidential developments and 60 percent to new residential developments. Holman argued that the split should be 50-50 and said she doesn’t see the proposed formula as “fair.” “I think the residents in the community recognize from a variety of different factors that they are subsidizing in a number of ways the nonresidential development in the community,” Holman said. “Not to diminish the value of nonresidential development, but everyone should be responsible for their fair share.” Her colleagues disagreed, though their support for the new formula was tepid at best. The city famously has no idea how many workers come to Palo Alto every day, though it is widely assumed that the city’s population roughly triples during the daytime hours. The lack of data, which has stymied efforts to manage transportation demand downtown, prompted the council to support last week the creation of a new business registry that will collect employee information from Palo Alto companies. The online registry will be updated annually and will include a range of data, including on

employees’ commute habits. Chairman Marc Berman, Pat Burt and Liz Kniss all voted to support the proposed fees, with the provision that they would undergo further revisions once job data is compiled. “I don’t think we have yet the data to conclude one way or another,” Burt said. Nathan Perez, vice president at David Taussig & Associates, described the process of structuring the fees as difficult, with “a bit of art” going into the science. One challenge is figuring out how much tenants in 1,000 square feet of nonresidential development consume of city services compared to residents of one housing unit. Then there’s the question of determining how much different types of nonresidential development (offices, retail, industrial) should pay. The proposal endorsed by the committee would tack on a fee — for each 1,000 square feet of a new nonresidential building — of $2,556 in the “commercial” category, $2,130 for “office/institutional” developments and $852 for industrial developments. It would charge a fee of $4,566

for each new single-family home ($2,893 for public-safety facilities and $1,673 for general-government facilities) and $3,653 for each new multi-family unit ($2,314 for public safety and $1,339 for general government). Though Burt supported the proposal, he vehemently rejected the consultant’s assertion that the study relied on relatively good job data in coming up with the formula. He said he had “trouble proceeding under a premise that I think is not sound.” “We have had significant community and staff discussion about the great uncertainty over our jobs data from various sources,” Burt told Perez. “If you somehow have really good jobs data, everyone in this town would love to hear it.” Kniss said that the formula can be revised in the future, when more information is available. But she rejected Holman’s proposal to ease the burden on developers of new residential projects. Doing so would basically be saying, “We’re not accepting the industry standard and instead we can make our own standards,” she said, referring to industry guidelines on impact fees. N

EDUCATION

Another federal investigation opened in Palo Alto school district Gunn High’s response to sexual-harassment complaint is subject of new civil-rights case

T

he U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will examine a family’s complaint that Palo Alto’s Gunn High School failed to “appropriately and effectively respond to notice of sexual harassment at the school,” the district announced last week. At the same time, federal investigators have closed a separate disability case against the Palo Alto school district, saying there was “insufficient evidence” that district officials failed to follow the law in looking into a family’s complaint. As part of its investigation in the Gunn case, the federal agency has asked the school for copies of “all complaints of sexual harassment or sexual violence involving students at the school” submitted to the school or district since the start of the 2011-12 school year. The Gunn case, opened in March and disclosed by the district on May 2, is one of three Office for Civil Rights cases remaining open against the district. The three include final fulfillment of a December 2012 “reso-

by Chris Kenrick lution agreement” in which the agency found that the district’s mishandling of a middle-school bullying case violated the civil rights of a student with disabilities. The third unresolved case is an examination of school climate and possible peer harassment at Palo Alto High School. District officials said they expect federal lawyers to visit “in the coming weeks” as part of that investigation. The disability case closed by the Office for Civil Rights last week was the fourth case since last June in which the agency said it had found “insufficient evidence” to support charges against the district. In that case, a complaint filed last September alleged that the district had failed to implement a written plan to accommodate a student’s disability. After reviewing information provided by the family and the district, Office for Civil Rights investigators said they found “insufficient evidence to support a finding of noncompliance with Section 504 (of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973)/Title II (of the

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990). “While the student did not agree with the district’s conclusion, the evidence did not establish that the district failed to provide a prompt and equitable process for addressing the allegations of discrimination,” the federal agency stated in a letter received by the school district April 28. The district released a heavily redacted copy of the letter May 2. In the earlier cases that were closed after findings of insufficient evidence, the Office for Civil Rights in June said it could not support a conclusion of racial discrimination in the case of a minority student who was searched by school officials in November 2012 after a substitute teacher accused the student of stealing $20 from her purse. The two other closed cases involved alleged civil rights violations in the handling of bullying complaints by students with disabilities.

News Digest Superintendent ‘finalist’ interviews set The Palo Alto school board will meet behind closed doors Thursday, May 15, to interview four finalists for the superintendent’s job. Board President Barb Mitchell said the board aims to make a final selection in May and approve a contract in June for the new executive, who will replace Superintendent Kevin Skelly. Skelly, who has held the job seven years, announced in February that he would resign effective June 30. On April 30, the board reviewed applications of eight semi-finalists recommended by search managers at Leadership Associates, a southern California consulting firm comprised of retired school superintendents. Members said they intend to protect the confidentiality of applicants until a finalist is selected, at which time they will make a “verification� visit to the person’s current school district. The board will interview finalists between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday and, if necessary, reconvene Friday morning to continue the interviews. N — Chris Kenrick

Palo Alto looks to beef up work force

:PV BSF DPSEJBMMZ JOWJUFE UP BO FYDMVTJWF MVODIFPO BOE UPVSy

Riding the wave of a booming economy, Palo Alto City Manager James Keene on Tuesday unveiled a proposed budget for the coming year that adds 17 new positions to the city’s work force, including additional staffing in the Library, Planning and Community Services departments. The proposed Fiscal Year 2015 budget, which the City Council received and briefly discussed Tuesday, further distances Palo Alto from the lean years of 2008 and 2009, when the city was freezing positions and trimming employee benefits. By contrast, Keene’s budget for 2015 includes both new positions and raises for existing employees. Overall, expenditures in the city’s General Fund (which pays for most basic city services, not including utilities) would be 7.3 percent higher in 2015 than in 2014, or $11.7 million more than the current fiscal year. While the current budget includes expenditures totaling $159.7 million, Keene’s new proposal would raise it to $171.4 million. In his presentation, Keene attributed the increases to the robust economy, which is bringing in more revenues — the city expects tax revenues to jump by $9.2 million between the current year and fiscal year 2015, which begins on July 1. The revenues are projected to grow from $83.8 million to $93 million. Keene’s Tuesday presentation kicked off a budget-adoption process that includes a series of council Finance Committee reviews and will culminate in an official adoption of the budget by the council in June.

Following the testimony of four substitute teachers who said their pay is too low, Palo Alto Superintendent Kevin Skelly Tuesday said he plans to formally propose a pay raise for substitute teachers later this month. The substitutes spoke in the open forum section of Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, telling members that pay of $135 a day for unsteady and unpredictable work was not sufficient. Mary Baker, who said she was credentialed to teach elementary school, middle school, German and Spanish, said last year she had to cancel three of the credentials “because it was too expensive and I only needed one to substitute, so I saved some money.� Longtime substitute Sonia Kantor, who holds a teaching credential in biology, said subs get little training in the classroom technology they’re expected to use. “This week I had to show a program on the Smart Board,� Kantor said. “The teacher had set it up on her computer, but she didn’t plug it in so it ran out of steam in the middle of the day. So we had to go to Plan B, but there was no Plan B.� Kantor said she improvised by discussing information and questions from the textbook, and “it worked out fine.� But, she said, “At $135 a day that’s a lot to ask of people. We are all highly skilled and we try hard to do a particularly good job. Also, there’s a lot of mainstreaming of a variety of children in the classroom now and we’re not given training. “We don’t have an advocate particularly for us and we don’t have a union.� Baker said when she began subbing in the early 1990s, “Palo Alto had top pay and plentiful subs. “Now we have a shortage. It’s time to right this wrong and pay substitutes a fair amount and, in so doing, attract more substitutes, which are badly needed.� The board did not discuss the comments, but Skelly indicated that a proposal for a raise will be forthcoming.

Palo Alto mulls new fees for emergency medical services

COMMUNITY

Mail carriers aim to ‘Stamp Out’ hunger Saturday

City considers charging for services that don’t require ambulance transport

Residents asked to leave donated food by mailboxes for pickup

by Gennady Sheyner

R

iding in an ambulance during a medical emergency is rarely a pleasant experience. Neither is receiving the bill afterwards, which in Palo Alto can top $1,700. But for the city’s Fire Department, which provides paramedic services, charging customers for medical response is in some ways an all-or-nothing proposition: They either transport the victim to a local hospital and charge the requisite fees (which vary based on miles traveled, services rendered and other factors), or they don’t transport them anywhere and do not charge them anything. In the existing system, the reimbursement model is based exclusively on transporting patients. Even if paramedics render aid and use medical supplies, they have no ways of charging for these services. That, however, may soon change. On Tuesday night, the City Council Finance Committee discussed a proposal to create a “treat and no transport fee” that would address situations in which someone receives medical care from the city but doesn’t need to be taken to the hospital. The committee authorized a request from Fire Chief Eric Nickel to begin conducting community outreach about this proposed fee. One of the goals of the new fee is cost recovery. Currently, the city sends a fire engine or a ladder truck to all emergency medical calls, which now make up an overwhelming majority of total calls, according to city data. The vehicles, manned by emergency medical technicians and paramedics, often arrive before the

ambulance and provide immediate emergency treatment. Yet the cost to deploy these employees and render the service has no recovery mechanism in the current municipal fee schedule. In his presentation, Nickel said the department wants to be in a position where it can offer services to residents who don’t need to go to the hospital and charge them a different fee from the ones that get transported. The new “treat but not transfer” fee would likely be in the range of $375 to $450, Nickel said. He noted that in many cases, the fees that the city charges patients for transport are reimbursed by insurance companies. By contrast, services that don’t require a hospital visit are paid for entirely by the city and, hence, by the taxpayers. “I personally feel the taxpayer should not be subsidizing the insurance carriers if we do not attempt to recover the cost of our service,” Nickel said. The department is also considering situations in which fees should not apply at all, he said. “If someone gets into an accident, someone else calls 911, and if the person is not hurt and doesn’t want treatment, we’d have a process to waive those fees,” Nickel said. The proposal comes at a time when medical calls are on the rise, a trend that is expected to continue as the large baby boomer generation gets older. According to the city’s 2013 performance report, the department received 4,712 calls in the medical/rescue category in fiscal year 2013, up from 4,484 in 2012 (by contrast, the city received 150 calls relating

to fire in 2013). The department made 3,523 ambulance transports in fiscal year 2013, up from 3,220 the prior year. In the vast majority of the cases (91 percent), a Palo Alto responder arrives within eight minutes of the call, compared to the 12 minutes it takes for ambulances elsewhere in Santa Clara County. Residents have been generally happy with the services, with 93 percent ranking them “good” or “excellent” in a recent National Citizen Survey. Nickel said Monday that in addition to helping recover costs, the new fee would align with the department’s objective of providing more services that do not require hospital visits. It would also be consistent with provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The act provides incentives for preventative care and alternate treatment options, particularly those that reduce costs, according to a report from the Fire Department. “We want to not take them to a hospital,” Nickel said. “We want them to stay home and be independent.” The four-member council committee unanimously backed Nickel’s request to begin doing outreach, though Councilwoman Karen Holman acknowledged she has “mixed feelings” about the cost-recovery argument. She said she was particularly concerned about low-income residents who may have a hard time paying the fees. “The last thing you need (in that situation) is to get dragged into a small-claims court and get harassing letters,” Holman said. “We want to be a compassionate community.” N

Stanford to divest from coal companies Following small colleges, Stanford is nation’s first large university to divest

S

tanford University Tuesday became the nation’s first large university to decide it will divest its endowment holdings in publicly traded companies whose principal business is the mining of coal for energy generation. The resolution by the Stanford Board of Trustees followed a recommendation from the university’s Advisory Panel on Investment Responsibility and Licensing, which spent several months reviewing the social and environmental implications of investment in fossil-fuel companies. “The university’s review has concluded that coal is one of the

most carbon-intensive methods of energy generation and that other sources can be readily substituted for it,” Stanford President John Hennessy said in a statement issued by the university. “Moving away from coal in the investment context is a small but constructive step while work continues, at Stanford and elsewhere, to develop broadly viable sustainable energy solutions for the future.” Board of Trustees Chairman Steven A. Denning said a studentled organization, Fossil Free Stanford, had “catalyzed an important discussion” on divestment, which

the university followed up with a “careful, research-based evaluation of the issues. “We believe this action provides leadership on a critical matter facing our world and is an appropriate application of the university’s investment responsibility policy,” Denning said. Stanford is the first large university to decide to divest its coal-extraction holdings, university spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said. With an endowment balance last reported at $18.7 billion, it is the nation’s thirdlargest-endowed university, behind only Harvard and Yale. Pitzer College in southern Cali-

hen Palo Alto mail carriers complete their appointed rounds Saturday, their trucks could be more full than when they started out in the morning. At least, that’s if residents cooperate. Saturday, May 10, is the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual effort to replenish local food banks. The group is asking postal customers to place shopping bags full of canned and other nonperishable foods by their mailboxes, and their postal carriers will pick up the bags Saturday when they deliver the mail. Last year, letter carriers in Santa Clara County collected 145,059 pounds for local agencies that address hunger, the Second Harvest Food Bank reported. This year, all letter carriers on Palo Alto’s 92 delivery routes are expected to take part, according to Palo Alto Postmaster Dean Maeda. “Some even come in on their own time,” he said. The event is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, extending to 10,000 cities and towns, according to the letter carriers’ group. Last year, more than 74 million pounds of food were donated, which fed an estimated 30 million people. About one in six Americans live with the uncertainty of where their next meal will come from, the group states. By nature of their work, the mail carriers often know the

fornia announced in April its plan to divest its fossil-fuel holdings by the end of the year. Hampshire College in Massachusetts and Unity College in Maine also have committed to selling their coal investments. Stanford investment decisions are guided by the university’s 43-year-old Statement on Investment Responsibility, which says trustees’ primary obligation is to maximize financial return to support the university. But the policy also authorizes them to take into consideration cases in which “corporate policies or practices create substantial social injury.” In Tuesday’s decision, trustees concurred with the advisory panel that coal divestment was consistent with that policy given current availability of alternatives with less harmful environmental impacts. The decision means Stanford

people on their routes and the conditions they live in, said Frank Ware, president of the Peninsula and South Bay carriers’ branch, local 1427. “There are people who can’t get by with what they’re making. They have two jobs and such. They have kids. The rents are exorbitant,” he said. “They rely on the food bank to replenish their supplies.” The drive is especially important as summer approaches, with federally funded schoollunch programs stopping and donations from last year’s holiday season running out, the press release states. “It’s the time of year when the food banks dry up,” Maeda said. “It’s a good time to get them stocked so they can get food to the people who need it.” The carriers are encouraging people to donate canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, peanut butter, rice or cereal in sturdy bags. “We just ask people to leave as much food as they can,” Ware said. The drive has been going on for 22 years and has the support of the United States Postal Service as well as numerous local nonprofit organizations and businesses. “Getting a federal agency to allow us to do this, it’s a miracle,” Ware said, noting that, among other things, the letter carriers use space at postal branches to organize donations before delivering them to the food banks. “It does cost the agency a sum of money.” N — Jocelyn Dong will not directly invest in approximately 100 publicly traded companies for which coal extraction is the primary business and will divest any current direct holdings in such companies. Stanford also will recommend to its external investment managers, who invest in wide rages of securities on behalf of the university, that they avoid investments in those public companies as well. Fossil Free Stanford last year petitioned the university to divest from 200 fossil-fuel extraction companies. “We are proud that our university is responding to student calls for action on climate by demonstrating leadership,” Fossil Free Stanford said in a statement. “Stanford’s commitment to coal divestment is a major victory for the climate movement and for our generation.” N — Chris Kenrick

Palo Alto school board members praise counseling reforms

"

However, critics say they’re still dissatisfied with ‘unequal’ Gunn, Paly programs by Chris Kenrick

P

alo Alto school board members Tuesday said they were pleased with efforts by high school and middle school guidance counselors to improve their programs. Their comments came after nearly 20 counselors turned out for an evening meeting to show their support for a new, districtwide “logic model� for counseling developed in monthly meetings since last summer. The “logic model� describes the mission and goals of Palo Alto’s counseling programs, even though individual schools — in-

cluding Gunn and Palo Alto high schools — use different counseling delivery systems. Student Services Coordinator Brenda Carrillo, who has managed the district-wide counseling discussions, said the new model is based on principles recommended by the American School Counselor Association. Counselors from Gunn and Paly described plans to measure the effectiveness of their programs through surveys of students and parents, including the district’s annual strategic plan survey, alumni surveys and the California

Healthy Kids Survey. Gunn Assistant Principal Tom Jacoubowsky said Gunn had “stolen some really good ideasâ€? from Paly through the collaboration, and also begun implementing some of the 40 reforms suggested by an internal Gunn advisory committee last year. “To see the kind of collaboration going on is fantastic,â€? board member Dana Tom said. “It’s a great opportunity to learn, share ideas, improve and identify where you can most improve.â€?

Robles Avenue and El Camino Real near Buena Vista. The residents and advocates from the Barron Park neighborhood, known as Friends of Buena Vista, also plan a rally at Elinor Cogswell Plaza, located next to Avenidas, on May 12 starting at 5:45 p.m. just prior to the hearing, Escalante said. The Jissers have only commented that they are tied to an agreement with San Mateo developer Prometheus to sell the land for the apartments. But the city must also allow a zoning change for the new development to proceed, city officials have said. State law does not allow the City Council to stop the closure of a mobile home park. But Palo Alto can make funding available as an incentive for its preservation or for the creation of affordable housing in the city, City Manager James Keene has said. “While we may want to com-

ment on the personal, human aspect of the Buena Vista situation, we also do not want to jeopardize the outcome of what is essentially a legal hearing to determine if the relocation benefits for residents are adequate, which is the purpose of the hearing. The hearing officer’s decision can be appealed to the City Council, and we don’t want to make any statements that could be interpreted to influence the results,� he said in a statement. “Also, we anticipate that whatever decision the council makes will likely be adjudicated in Superior Court, and out of an abundance of caution, want to be careful not to comment on aspects that could impact the outcome of the judicial process. “We all know that affordable housing is needed in Palo Alto, and the city has been and will continue to be proactive in its efforts to identify funding and opportunities to provide for more affordable housing,� Keene stated.

Comprehensive (continued from page 5)

strategy is a far departure from the prior approach, which generally deferred the bulk of the work to the Planning and Transportation Commission. The commission has been reviewing and editing each chapter (or “element�) of the plan over the past four years and has recently completed a draft revision. The council on Monday began its meeting with a three-hour discussion of the commission draft and ended it with a conversation about public engagement in the update. Though the Comprehensive Plan includes eight chapters with subjects ranging from business to nature, Vice Mayor Liz Kniss spoke for many on the council when she argued that the community conversation will basically revolve around one portion. “When you buy a house, they say its about location, location, location,� Kniss said. “I think this plan is about density, density, density.� Others agreed. Councilman Greg Schmid noted that the city’s population growth in the last 13 years (about 1 percent per year) has far outpaced growth in prior decades (around 0.2 percent per year). In the last eight years, he said, the city has added about 2 million square feet of commercial space. He highlighted the need to obtain solid data about density and growth before adopting a new vision. Council members Pat Burt and Karen Holman both said the revision process should clarify the regulations that allow developers to construct denser-than-normal buildings. Developers often request to build at a density at the upper limit of what’s allowed under the zoning code. In some cases, they receive approval for density that even goes beyond the “maximum floor area ratio,� a calculation that determines allowable size. Some developers get exceptions because they offer to include affordable housing, which by state law allows them to claim density bonuses. Others offer the city money, amenities and various other “public benefits� for permission to exceed zoning regulations. This trend, which Burt called a “very big problem� has led to a situation in which “maximum-plus is the new minimum.� “Maximum doesn’t even mean maximum anymore,� Burt said. The city should determine in the Comprehensive Plan whether a developer should really be entitled to the “maximum� density even if the new project isn’t consistent with the principles of the vision document, Burt said. Holman agreed and said it’s important for the city to balance “private-property rights with public expectations of development projects.� It’s critical, she said, for the city’s developments to follow a “coherent design� and to be consistent with established design standards.

“I think it’s a hugely important issue in this community,� Holman said. “I think our community physically is being eroded because we don’t have a coherent design vision.� Though members briefly discussed the planning commission’s draft, they agreed that much in the document will have to be further changed as the update process proceeds and both residents and council members offer more feedback. Even with all the community-outreach tools in staff’s proposal, council members acknowledged Monday that engaging people who don’t normally come to City Hall will be a challenge. Councilman Larry Klein said staff members have a “daunting� task in front of them but stressed the importance of getting the feedback of residents who are not “the usual suspects.� “I’d be disappointed if I can recognize half the names on the (advisory) committee,� Klein said. “I really want to see new people participate — people who can reach out to areas of our community who don’t come down to City Hall.�

Mayor Nancy Shepherd agreed and said she hopes she won’t know anyone on the roster of the advisory group. This is the time, she said, to build and attract fresh civic engagement. She also noted that the process, while daunting, has gotten off to a promising start. The city’s first Our Palo Alto panel discussion brought a standing-room-only crowd to the city’s Downtown Library. The second event, which focused on affordable housing, brought more than 20 people to Lucie Stern Community Center for a round-table discussion about the city’s housing challenges and ways to encourage more affordable housing. “It’s bringing back the type of Palo Alto I’ve always been able to work in,� Shepherd said of the recent discussions. “Rigorous debates about issues and ideas but not tearing each other down. I really think that’s the kind of conversation we need to have in order to vision our future.� N Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner can be emailed at gsheyner@ paweekly.com.

Counsel ­V Ì Õi`ÊvÀ Ê«>}iʣή

Board President Barb Mitchell said a previous gap in spending on counseling between Gunn and Paly had been addressed and that a “major infusion” is rectifying the problem. “I’m really excited about your work and the strides you’ve taken, and they will show up in many ways in the lives of our kids,” Mitchell told the counselors. But Tuesday’s presentation did little to satisfy longtime critics of Gunn’s counseling program, who for years have urged the board to order the school to adopt Paly’s model of a “teacher advisory” system. Under that system, about 40 “teacher advisers” augment the school’s small counseling staff. Two critics testified Tuesday. “The central fact, and a peculiar fact, about our district is that we have two high schools and two very different models for delivering counseling services,” said Ken Dauber, a prospective school board candidate who has long urged consistency between the two high school programs. Dauber ran unsuccessfully for the board in 2012. “I can’t imagine that’s terribly common in California or nationally ... and it immediately raises the question of whether the two models are delivering equivalent services and whether we’re efficiently using our resources,” he said. Dauber cited past survey data of parents and students indicating a “persistent gap” in quality levels between the Paly and Gunn counseling programs. Despite years of discussion, the district has yet to find “clear, stable measures” to determine whether the quality gap is closing or growing larger. But Superintendent Kevin Skelly said it was a mistake to “fixate” on selected satisfaction data without looking at the “larger picture,” noting that Gunn is 10 percent higher than Paly in its percentage of graduates who complete a fouryear college prep curriculum. “We do want to have those (counseling) services improve,” Skelly said. “It’s an area that’s important to our community. But I would not change the Gunn model without doing great investigation into how it would affect the overall school quality, and making sure you had the buy-in of that staff at Gunn High School. “This conversation in many ways started with the suicide cluster (of Palo Alto students in 2009 and 2010) and has just continued unremittingly for four years and, frankly, I think it’s been unfair to Gunn to focus on the counseling program without celebrating the successes of that school and the multiple dimensions in which the parents are very satisfied,” Skelly said.

Mary Westbrook Ostrom December 11, 1921 – April 4, 2014 Mary Westbrook Ostrom, a resident of Palo Alto for nearly 50 years, passed away in Davis, California, on April 4 at the age of 92. Born on the Westbrook family ranch in Smith River, California, she received her undergraduate degree from Humboldt State University and her masters in Education from Stanford University. A lifelong educator and school administrator, she began her career teaching in a one-room school house in Del Norte County. She later went on to become superintendent of schools for Smith River before moving to Eureka. In 1964, she came to Palo Alto to attend Stanford and soon became principal at Corte Madera Elementary School in Portola Valley. She would stay at Corte Madera until her retirement in 1980, and at one point served as principal of both Corte Madera and Ormondale Elementary School. She was married for 53 years to her husband, John Ostrom, who passed away in 1997. Together, they traveled extensively, enjoyed playing bridge and attending the theater, and were active in the First United Methodist Church of Palo Alto, where they helped establish the First School for preschool children. Mary was also a talented artist and produced numerous watercolors in her later years. She is survived by her son, Tod Ostrom, of Redwood City, and son Brook Ostrom, daughter-in-law Nancy, granddaughter Kelly and grandson Daniel of Davis A memorial service will be held on May 10 at 10:00 a.m., at First United Methodist Church, 625 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto.

Art Wong Arthur Douglas Wong, an Atherton resident for 32 years and longtime owner of Ramona’s Pizza in Palo Alto, died at his home on May 5 after a 12-year battle with brain cancer. He was 65. He was born on Sept. 7, 1948, in the Taishan region of southern China. At age 5, he immigrated with his family to San Francisco. After graduating from San Jose State University, he taught physical education at elementary schools in Burlingame. He met his future wife, Judy, at a church dance in Palo Alto, and they were married in 1973 at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. In 1982, they moved to Atherton to raise their family. In 1978, he decided to go into the pizza business, buying Ramona’s in downtown Palo Alto. Under his ownership, it served for years as a gathering place for Stanford students and Peninsula residents. He later opened a take-out restaurant, Ramona’s Too, off California Avenue on Birch Street. He was also a committed advocate for youth sports. He led a nonprofit youth basketball program, Palo Alto Youth Services, through the Palo Alto Buddhist Temple, and also served as a coach and organizer for the Japanese American Citizens League Junior Olympics. He also coached his sons’ Little League teams and routinely cheered them on at basketball and baseball games at Sacred Heart Preparatory. In his free time, he enjoyed playing pick-up basketball games, boogie boarding in Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz and tending to his flowers and fruit trees. He is survived by his wife of

Donna Jeanne Shafer Donna Jeanne Shafer, a resident of Palo Alto, died in her sleep on March 31. She was 90. Known as Jeanne, she was born on Oct. 29, 1929, in East Palestine, Ohio, the child of Perry and Amelia Faulkner Allen. In her youth, she learned many crafts and arts, including hand-painting china, arranging flowers, gardening, sewing and knitting, among others. She continued to work on these skills throughout her life. During WWII, she worked for the war effort in the Curtis Wright airplane factory in Ohio. After the war, she married Nelson Shafer,

whom she had known since childhood. They raised their family in East Palestine, where she was involved in a local church as a choir singer, teacher and deaconess. She and Nelson enjoyed fishing, camping, birding and generally being in nature together. In their retirement, they eventually settled in Palo Alto around 1980 to be near their daughters, becoming caretakers at the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto. They continued to live in the area, primarily in Palo Alto. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Nelson of Palo Alto; her daughter Cheryl Branco (Brenda Smith) of Palo Alto; and her granddaughter Jessica Mauch (Anthony) and great-grandchildren Audrey and Jason — all of Sunnyvale. Her ashes were scattered at sea, as she wished. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 15, at the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto, 1985 Louis Road, Palo Alto. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Ecumenical Hunger Program in East Palo Alto.

Raymond Joseph Bier 1932 – April 18, 2014 Former Palo Alto resident Raymond Bier died recently at his home in Austin, Texas. Ray came to the area in 1962 after accepting a job at Lockheed Missiles and Space Division, driving his family across country in a VW bug with the family cat looking out the back window. Laid off in 1970, Ray took the advice of friend and mentor Max Ratner and became a realtor. He invested in Bay Area real estate with various business partners, most notably Stuart Brolly, with whom he founded Lincoln Enterprises. Ray’s marriage to artist Bevery prompted him to open an art gallery and to become involved in the Palo Alto art club. When the marriage ended in 1970, he became custodial parent to his children David and Lorraine. During the ‘70s, Ray and Stu formed Introdata, a small data entry company, with second wife Karol Smith. Ray enjoyed collecting and driving a variety of cars and motorcyles, and made many long-distance trips to all parts of the U.S, returning frequently to visit friends and family on the east coast. After retiring, Ray moved to Austin, where he enjoyed the Texas lifestyle and more open space to park his cars, boats and motorcycles. 0! ) $ / " ) 4 5! 29

Kenneth Wolcott Johnson Nov. 6, 1921-April 13, 2014 Kenneth Wolcott Johnson passed away on Sunday, April 13, 2014 at home in Palo Alto. A lifelong resident of Palo Alto, Kenneth (or simply Ken) was the first of two children of Betty and Wolcott Johnson. He is survived by his younger sister Dianne, his children Carol, Margie, Larry, and Doug, as well as 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Growing up in Palo Alto, Ken was active in the youth groups of Palo Alto First Congregational Church, where he became acquainted with a fellow Paly student, Evelyn Pleasant. Even though he went off to Caltech for his undergraduate training, their romance survived the separation, and they became committed to each other while he was working on a Navy research project at Caltech and she was performing defense work at Alcoa in Los Angeles. Ken eventually transferred to active duty in the Navy. He was assigned to a ship in the European Theater in 1945, and so they decided to get married on January 17,1945. The obstacles and adventures along Ken’s crosscountry journey to return to California for the wedding became known as the “two dollar bill” story, a tale beloved by family and friends alike. After the war ended, Ken and Evie returned to Palo Alto, where he completed a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at Stanford. In 1947, he began working as an engineer for his father’s company, Johnson-Williams, arguably the earliest electronics business in Palo Alto. A unifying custom, maintained for many years, was a family vacation in Tahoma on the western shore of Lake Tahoe. Ken was enthusiastic about hiking, swimming, and fishing, and often led trips of grandchildren up the Cascade Falls trail. In later years, Ken and Evie took numerous overseas trips, business and personal, to Europe, Japan, China, Australia, Latin America, and New Zealand, and delighted in the close friendship of his business partners. They remained lifelong friends with families from Nigeria, Japan and Belgium. After the sale of Johnson-Williams, Ken started his own company, GasTech, in 1971. He served as head of GasTech until 1992, when he retired and started up KWJ Engineering, where he worked until January of this year. In addition to numerous trips throughout their golden years, Ken and Evie stayed sharp by regularly and soundly defeating grandchildren at Scrabble. Their victories were always gracious and were followed by a generous helping of Marianne’s ice cream, thus satisfying all parties. Ken will be missed by those who survive him, but solace is found in his reunion with Evie, who passed away in 2012 after 67 years of marriage. A memorial service will be held on May 9th at 1 pm at First Congregational Church of Palo Alto: 1985 Louis Rd, Palo Alto. All are welcome. Ken’s generosity was felt by all who had the good fortune to be a part of his life. If contributions in his name are desired, the family suggests they may be made to Care or to Doctors Without Borders. PA I D

Editorial Sylva, Harris for Judge Two Superior Court judgeship races on June 3 ballot

V

oters are at a severe disadvantage when trying to determine the best judicial candidates in contested judge races. Candidates are forbidden from discussing any substantive issues that could conceivably come before them if elected, so these campaigns are built almost entirely around experience, reputation and the assessments made by interest groups, including the local bar association and unions. Two races are on the ballot, one with three candidates, including an incumbent, and another with two. In the two-candidate “Office 21” race, we believe Julianne Sylva is the superior choice, in spite of the more diverse experience of her opponent, Dennis Lempert. Sylva, a deputy district attorney for the last 23 years, is a prosecutor who has shown consistent concern and compassion for both crime victims and the accused, especially with regards to juvenile and family-law matters and those involving indigent defendants. She won the support of the women’s lawyers section of the Santa Clara County Bar Association, an important endorsement, although her opponent, defense attorney Dennis Lempert was endorsed by the full rank and file of the bar association. The seat was formerly held by Judge Kevin McKenney, who retired. Sylva has rotated among all the divisions in the D.A.’s office, and last June was named the county’s human-trafficking prosecutor, a position that involves working with law-enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute sex-trafficking cases. She also currently serves as the district attorney’s truancy specialist. With the support of local judges, she developed a Parent Truancy Court that brings parents of chronic truants before the court where they can work out plans to get the students back in school and avoid prosecution. Sylva has not only been recognized locally as an expert in child-abduction matters, but she has traveled to Mexico to train lawyers, judges, social workers and educators about Alerta Amber!, the Mexican version of our Amber Alert program. Fluent in Spanish, she worked with the U.S. Department of Justice to create and implement the Alerta Amber! program. Lempert, who filed for the race at the last minute, will appear on the ballot as “D A Lempert,” a campaign ploy that has created a backlash in the legal community. His long career includes stints as a deputy district attorney, police officer and, most recently, a defense attorney. His experience includes trying deathpenalty cases and he helped start the county’s consumer-fraud unit before moving into private practice, representing mostly criminal defendants. We urge voters to give Sylva their support on June 3.

T

hree candidates are running for the “Office 24” slot on the bench. Our choice is Matt Harris, a 23-year veteran prosecutor in the D.A.’s office. He is running against incumbent Judge Diane Ritchie and challenger Annrae Angel, a criminal-defense attorney. It is the first time in 16 years that a sitting judge has faced a challenge. Judge Ritchie, a former deputy district attorney, has struggled on the bench since being elected in 2008 and was voted “not qualified” by the county bar association, a stunning rebuke. The consensus view among attorneys practicing in Santa Clara County is that she needs to be replaced. Both Harris and Angel were viewed as qualified by the bar association, but Harris received its endorsement by a large margin. Angel won the endorsement of the women lawyer’s section. Among those two, we believe Harris is more qualified due to his broad experience as a prosecutor and his strong reputation for fairness. He currently serves on the D.A.’s major crimes team and has done stints on assignment to the U.S. Attorney’s office. Angel, who lives in Santa Cruz County, has a private criminal-defense practice in San Jose that specializes in representing indigent felony defendants, including gang members. We applaud her work and legal values, but don’t think she has the diversity in her legal experience to recommend her over Harris. We recommend Matt Harris for Superior Court Judge.

Spectrum Editorials, letters and opinions

No on high density Editor, Last week I heard Palo Alto’s new sustainability officer, Gil Friend, present our City Council with his thoughts on making Palo Alto a sustainable community. He talked about our successful programs for green energy, recycling and composting, encouraging more bicycling and walking, and other such programs, as Palo Altans are familiar with. But when it came time for Council to ask questions, it became clear that to most of our Council members, sustainability means high-density development. The only exceptions were Greg Schmid, Karen Holman and maybe Pat Burt. Gil said he wants to be “transformative” in how Palo Alto moves to sustainability — as such he should explore how to improve prosperity without continuous land development, increased density and the resultant population growth that follows. An economy based on land development is not sustainable. And he should resist pressure from City Council to use his office to “green wash” their plans for a high-density future, even though that seems to be why he was hired. Palo Alto’s leaders like to talk up high-density development as the key to environmental sustainability. It isn’t and isn’t intended to be. It is intended as a full-employment program for real-estate developers. I hope Gil sees through this and focuses on keeping and improving Palo Alto as a sustainable, low-density, family-friendly community. Ben Lerner Janice Way, Palo Alto

Preserve the parkland Editor, Palo Alto must rethink its plan to use 10 acres of parkland to build a compost plant when that land cannot be replaced. Proponents want to treat 10 acres as “free” since the city already owns it. That would be a deliberate robbery of the citizens. The fact is that 10 acres are near priceless, and it seems unlikely that any financial study would justify using such valuable and irreplaceable land to manufacture gas. Let’s be real. Our carbon footprint is not just carbon released in Palo Alto. So perhaps a little trucking to a lower-cost place might pollute; however, a small portion of the savings could be used to preserve a few more acres of trees in the foothills (or in another state for that matter) and yield a better environmental benefit than trying to fit a digester here.

While many people accuse Palo Altans of living in a bubble, the fact is that we do not. Our efforts must be based on the greater good of the planet — not some environmental trophy that feeds a false pride of being “green.” Let’s truly be “green,” take a larger view of the carbon equation and preserve our parklands. Viewed in the light of day, the proposals have been another commercial development hiding behind a green flag. Clarity gained from this larger global view dictates that the land must be returned to the citizens for recreational use. Let’s put aside self-interests and restore our bayfront park for the community good. Timothy Gray Park Boulevard, Palo Alto

Modeling bad behavior Editor, I appreciate the Palo Alto Weekly’s reporting on the harassment charges against Phil Winston — I have a child in one of Mr. Winston’s current classrooms. We can argue about the seriousness of the charges against Phil Winston all day, but one thing is certain: My trust in PAUSD lead-

ership has been shaken because every person who spoke about the transfer from Kevin Skelly down to Winston himself emphasized that it was due solely to his health. A sizable number of Jordan’s seventh graders this year (he is a special education teacher, but teaches in mainstreamed classes) have been used as guinea pigs to test if Winston was able to work in the classroom without incident. Furthermore, his team teacher — the person who would be most closely able to monitor his behavior — was a young woman teaching her first year in Palo Alto, who I’m given to understand wasn’t made aware of the charges. How can that possibly be considered a good match for proper oversight? PAUSD leadership does have some limitations on what they can say and do if they want to avoid a lawsuit from Mr. Winston or the union that represents him, but secrecy and shuffling around of problem employees, while telling half-truths in order to protect the institution, reminds me of the recent tactics of the Catholic Church. For the kids, it’s a tough situation because they are reading and hearing things that the adults at

‘No’ on Measure AA Editor, So we have another bond measure on the June ballot. Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District wants more money from us. We are already funding the district, but, like a heroin addict, they want more. Do they realize that all these bond measures are just draining us dry? What are they going to do with the $300 million? They are going to make improvements. Looking at the list in the voter pamphlet, almost all the improvements appear to be in locations far from the urban areas. $300 million is going to benefit only a select number of hikers and bikers. Most things can be improved with more money, but in this case, the cost/benefit ratio is definitely not right. Most taxpayers don’t have an unlimited supply of money. They would rather spend the money on things that improve their quality of life. Like it or not, most of us have to learn to live within our means. It is time MROSD learns to do the same. If they had managed their money wisely, they wouldn’t have to come begging now. Warren Storkman Mackay Drive, Palo Alto

Guest Opinion

Why good English is good 4 U by Samuel Xiao

T

wz d bst of x, twz d wst of x.” Translation: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” As a chronic texter, I have become accustomed to reading these messages. Now that we have touch-screen phones, computers and tablets our communication has become more efficient. Through the touch of a button, we are able to send messages across the country. More than eight trillion text messages were sent in 2011, and 95 percent of 18-29-year-olds text. For me, typing in abbreviation is second nature, and there is a distinct difference between academic writing and texting. Unfortunately, some parents label this non-standard English use as the downfall of Standard Written English and the cause of illiteracy among youths. According to John McWhorter, an authority in linguistics, the proper response to these accusations is LOL. There have been conflicting studies about the effect of texting language or “textspeak” on literacy, yet some parents and educators wholeheartedly believe that textspeak is the root of all problems. After surveying 542 middle school students, researchers at Penn State concluded a negative correlation between the frequency of sending/receiving textspeak messages and grammar scores. Their explanation is that kids are imitating and habituating textspeak, which muddles their academic lan-

guage skills. Teens might develop an inability to switch back to proper grammar, influencing poor grammar choices that make it through formal writing. However, in the study there seemed to be no effect on the tweens’ ability to use correct capitalization and punctuation on the tests. What people often forget is that switching on and off between textspeak and formal writing is easy and ordinary. Just like you do not talk slang to parents, there is clearly a different mindset when writing essays. Individuals are able to distinctly differentiate the right setting for textspeak and formal writing. I have never struggled with changing gears from texting a short response to a friend to writing my AP English persuasive essay, and neither have my classmates. In fact, understanding the intricate differences between the languages has improved my grammar. I became more aware of what styles to avoid and strayed away from abbreviating words. Students deviate from Standard English because of technological limitations such as the keyboard. Youths are inclined to write shorthand messages such as “laugh out loud” into “LOL” due to time efficiency and ease. Typing entire phrases out strains fingers and is impractical. Further, text messages are meant as a convenient way to communicate. Often people are on the go and read texts on the side. No recipient wants to read a block of text on the tiny screens of their mobile devices. Texting language is not only beneficial for practicality, but also for the positive development of language. Standard English is slimmed down to its most basic and simplistic roots, clearing the meaning of sentences and building a foundation of English for children.

Since messages are intended to be concise, there is no room for verbosity, which helps strengthen the skills children need in reading and writing. In addition, people who are newly learning English especially benefit from text speak. Texting helps students read. There is more awareness when reading textspeak due to the creative usage of words. Students see the building blocks when they abbreviate a word that encourages understanding on how the word is built. The playful and creative nature of texting eases the English learning process. Communities have seen the benefits of textspeak and followed trends on modernizing education to suit its needs. Palo Alto Unified School District recently implemented an “iPad Pilot Project” at Gunn High School, my alma mater, enabling students access to iPads at school. The project’s broad goals are “(1) differentiation, (2) study skills, (3) literacy.” My friends and I often used these iPads to communicate over Facebook messenger, using texting lingo. The integration of real word communication at school along with the standard curriculum prepares students socially and professionally. As textspeak becomes popular globally, it will be worthwhile for more schools to infuse education with these experiences. Adults should halt their fears. Kids will use textspeak as a language separate from the language in actual writing. Textspeak, far from being a detrimental influence, is going to greatly grow as technology becomes more pervasive in our lives. Better start txting :) N Samuel Xiao is a student at Columbia University who graduated from Gunn High School last year.

Do you want the best in home care for your family? Call Home Care Assistance.

“Named national winner of the ‘Best of Home Care Award’ by Home Care Pulse.” It starts with our caregivers. We carefully screen nearly 25 applicants for each caregiver we hire. Only the best are good enough for Home Care Assistance! We follow this with extensive training. Finally we invite geriatric experts to meet with our caregivers so that they are up-to-date with the newest ideas about senior care. Hourly and Live-In Care. Our caregiving services focus on two basic types of care: hourly and live-in. The service you choose is determined by your particular needs.

Hourly caregiving works well for many families. In this situation we provide trained caregivers on an hourly basis. Here the caregiver focuses all her attention exclusively on the senior.

Page 22ÊUÊ >ÞÊ ]ÊÓä£{ÊUÊ*> Ê Ì Ê7ii ÞÊUÊÜÜÜ°*> Ì " i°V

Live-in care differs from hourly care in that we provide personal aides on a daily basis. Live-in caregivers are often the best choice for those seniors who need the companionship of another person, but who do not have intense “all the time” personal needs. At Home Care Assistance we mean it when we talk about providing the best in senior care–whether it is on an hourly basis or a live-in basis.

be getting for the additional money. Councilman Greg Scharff noted that the city has committed about $70,000 thus far — $38,200 on direct grants, $27,000 on personnel and $5,400 on supplies and technical assistance — on a program that benefited six people. He suggested that the city can “spend money a lot better on some of the higher impact things.” Scharff ultimately joined his colleagues in supporting the entire action plan for the grant program, with the provision that the council’s Finance Committee will get more information about how the expanded program will work. Planning staff has proposed holding a round-table discussion with the program’s partners and participants in June to review and consider how to further develop the program. Heekyoung Kim, a local hair stylist, received the largest MAP grant: $15,000. She declined to be interviewed for this story, but Goldman, her mentor, was particularly struck by the challenges of making a living as a hairdresser. “That’s a really great job for people. There’s a lot of single moms in that job. It has flexible hours and it’s something that, once you become established, you can do it forever, and it can lift someone out of poverty forever. “What I learned is there are people that don’t have the wherewithal to get their own (salon) chair. You need a security deposit, first month’s rent, all your own equipment. Even when we first received the application from the hairdresser, we were all thinking, ‘Why does she need that? You have a pair of scissors, and you can make a living.’” Hair stylists must also purchase hair products, such as chemicals, and foot the costs of training. “When someone goes into this salon and they’re paying $40, $50, $100 for a haircut, they don’t realize the person cutting their hair isn’t making practically anything and is living in poverty,” he said. The grant money will help Kim purchase equipment and pay off a security deposit for her salon chair. “The concept is taking a skill set she already had and helping her acquire the equipment she needed and the security deposit and all that. Suddenly, her skills become 50 times more valuable to her and her family. That was tremendous to go through that experience and learn how that could work and see the pride and hard work.” Kim also got a new client out of the process. She’s now doing Goldman’s hair, he said.

Sherice Lane n November 2010, Sherice Lane became injured at work, tearing tendons in her foot and her meniscus and irreversibly impacting the gait of the right side of her body. The warm, ebullient mother of three, who lives in the nonprofit Palo Alto Housing Corporation’s Tree House Apartments and had been working in early childhood education, said it was a taxing time in her life. “With this type of injury that I have, or any injury when you can no longer do what you were doing, you begin to get depressed,” she said. But she picked up crocheting, a craft her mother had taught her when she was about 9 years old, making hats and scarves and teaching crochet classes at her apartment complex. “I was in a lot of pain, and I re-discov-

referring to his time in the minor leagues. He was drafted in the 21st round in 1971. “It was a dream,” he said. “I got halfway there.” A Downtown Streets Team caseworker told him about the MAP program; at the time, he was coaching Little League fulltime and not umpiring. But coincidentally, he had just heard from a Recreation Department employee about a need for umpires in Palo Alto. “It fell right into place,” he said. Barnes’ mentor, Roger Smith of Silicon Valley Bank, advised him to find out just how big or small that umpire void — that is, the market — might be. Perhaps more helpful than the businessspecific advice was Smith’s support. “He was in my corner,” Barnes said. “He was pulling for me.” Smith said he was impressed with Barnes’ obvious passion for the sport and for business. Barnes plans to use the MAP grant to purchase umpire equipment, such as uniforms — he needs different colored uniforms for different cities’ leagues. He said criticism of the city using public funds to help support a handful of private businesses is unwarranted, as planting the seed with one person helps grow others’ employment opportunities. “I’ll be able to pull in people and put them to work,” he said, looking down the road to where he might be able to expand his business. “In that respect, you don’t lose. You don’t lose. I think that’s a major goal behind (the program) — to grow and employ other people.”

Chris Murphy n true entrepreneurial style, Chris Murphy gets a bit cagey when asked about his business idea, reluctant to reveal the full concept lest someone else steal the big idea that’s been gestating since he was an undergraduate student in computer and political science at Texas A&M University. The most he’ll divulge is that it’s focused on building, publishing and hosting affordable websites for small businesses and organizations, “with some ad creation and publishing to boot.” But he’s confident in his idea, bolstered by interest expressed by local industry leaders, investors and the City of Palo Alto, which awarded him a $9,200 MAP grant. “The money is a much-needed boost,” he said. “I think for all of us it’s been a boost — taking what (we) had and really setting it in motion.” Murphy, who lives at Alma Garden Apartments in Palo Alto with his wife, said he’s been tinkering with the idea for the company for years but didn’t decide to work on it fulltime until he lost his job in the economic downturn. “I thought, ‘You know what? I need to work on something.’ I was doing some independent work on the side, but I started to tinker more often on this project. I just needed something to kick-start me, I think.” He, like the other recipients, stressed that the most valuable part of the program was not the financial support but the mentorship and education the city provided. “I learned more about business in the course of about five months than in my entire life,” he said. Richard Bush, a seasoned Valley executive who has founded numerous companies, mentored him. “You can’t assign a monetary value to the immense amount of wisdom and guidance that I’ve received from Richard. He’s achieved his success in life and business, so he’s been a really great example to look up to, and that’s what I’m aspiring to be one day.”

ered crochet while I was in pain,” she said. “It seemed to really help me with the pain and the frustration — and I was also producing something.” Friends and family who received Lane’s creations as gifts urged her to sell what she was making. When a Palo Alto Housing Corporation staff member told her about the city’s MAP program, she jumped at the opportunity. Lane will receive $1,500 from the city. She said she’s using the money — which isn’t given in cash form but instead as reimbursements for eligible expenses — to pay the fees to get her business, Sherice’s Kreativ Lane, off the ground. She’ll also be able to purchase an embroidery machine, which she’s long lusted after to be able to do more detailed, custom work; a printer; and materials, such as ecofriendly, organic yarns and fiber. She said she’s going to sell clothing, jewelry and crochet art online but would love to secure a brick-and-mortar retail space one day where she could also teach crocheting classes for kids. “For me, my injury put me in a different class. For this opportunity to come up was huge for me,” she said. “I began to be even more excited. I said, ‘Oh my god, someone’s thinking about me.’ You know what I mean?”

Walter Barnes t’s hard to imagine a better candidate to umpire local baseball games than one who attended Palo Alto schools, playing baseball on school fields and in the Baylands; went on to play second baseman for the Chicago Cubs’ minor league affiliate; and eventually returned to Palo Alto to coach Little League and at Terman Middle School. “I’ve been around sports now for about the last 50 years,” Walter Barnes said. “This is where I’m comfortable at.” With a $1,000 grant from the city, he’s turning that comfort and passion into a business, hoping to cast a wider net as a freelance umpire and referee. He’s currently a subcontractor for the City of Palo Alto, umpiring its recreational adult baseball league. He also referees flag football in Los Altos and hopes to expand into local baseball games, “to at least the high school level,” he said. He’s also a participant in the Downtown Streets Team, a nonprofit program that helps homeless and low-income people find employment. Baseball was a constant for Barnes during his Palo Alto childhood. “Me and one of my friends, we just played all the time. We didn’t have too much time for anything else. And it paid off,” he said,

Cover Story Jewelry designer Robin Angstadt poses for a portrait, wearing some of her own jewelry. Angstadt plans to purchase equipment such as a kiln and micro-torch with her grant money.

Chris Murphy works on his startup outside of Philz Coffee in midtown Palo Alto on May 6.

Murphy is still developing his prototype and plans to use the grant money to pay for some additional educational “pick-me-ups” he feels are necessary and “typical logistical and infrastructure needs.” “Tomorrow I’m meeting with an attorney; Thursday I’m meeting with the president of a bank,” he said, his face lighting up and his perpetual smile widening further. He added that he sees the grant as an investment that one day he’ll provide returns on. “Maybe one day I will have reached that pinnacle and I can help someone else.”

Robin Angstadt s a single woman with a limited income and on disability, Robin Angstadt said taking her arts-and-crafts business beyond selling items on online marketplace Etsy.com has proved difficult. She’s never applied for a traditional business loan because of what she called “questionable credit.” “It’s common among lower-income (people) to have lower credit. It kind of goes along with it,” she said. “I never did (apply for a loan). I was trying to do it on my own, and it was really, really hard.” Angstadt — short and blond with shocks of pink highlights in her hair — draws, paints, sculpts

and makes all kinds of jewelry. She makes most of it in her Palo Alto Housing Corporation apartment. “I love to work in a wide variety of media, from gemstones and beads to oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, graphite, linocut, polymer clay, felted wool, yarn, fabric and leather,” her Etsy.com profile reads. Her specialty is “Lord of the Rings” themed items, like an orc bracelet with spikes made with copper and precious stones. Angstadt holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in art as well as a master’s in psychology, both from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She grew up in both Salt Lake City, Utah, and San Carlos and has lived in Palo Alto off and on since the 1980s. She said that as a jack-of-alltrades artist, she also had trouble focusing the vision for her business. “I needed help deciding what to concentrate on; I needed a mentor,” she said. And — “I needed some money to get some equipment.” Enter MAP, which eventually connected her with mentor Michael Gross, a Palo Alto resident who has worked as an executive at high-tech companies like National Semiconductor and Applied Materials. The program also provided her with a $4,500 grant. Most of the money will go to-

ward purchasing equipment, such as a kiln and micro-torch, to make the jewelry she wants to focus on selling. (Up until now, she’s been borrowing other people’s equipment.) She’s also found a garage to rent. “It’s making an enormous difference,” she said of the grant money. “It’s the difference between success and failure.”

Kathy Wu athy Wu is a soft-spoken and reserved independent insurance agent with a history of commitment to her profession. The China native, who came to the United States in 1984, works with underserved populations who need but have trouble accessing health care, such as seniors or impaired people who have difficulty leaving the house or people with language limitations. Armed with a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles, she’s been in the industry since the mid-1990s and last year became a certified insurance agent under Covered California, the state’s new health insurance exchange that operates under the federal government’s Affordable Care Act.

complicated, time-consuming and costly, she said. As a one-person business, she must acquire considerable knowledge, and her clients cannot always pay her on time. She also has a “pretty old” computer and relies on using public Wi-Fi at coffee shops and city libraries when she meets clients. “She was literally having people be wheelchaired to Starbucks so she could use Wi-Fi,” business mentor Jon Goldman said. “So I said, ‘Let’s figure out what smartphone you need; let’s get you a year of subscription for 4G to your computer. You need a tablet? Let’s get it.’ “Insurance is a numbers business; you need to get a lot of people. You can’t see one client a day and make a living.” Wu will be receiving $7,000 in grant funding from the city. She said she plans to buy a laptop, a cell phone, stationery and business cards as well as rent office space and pay for her insurance license and continuing education. She said the support she received through the program proved invaluable.

“Of course financially it helped me, and also it’s a big encouragement,” she said. “It helped me to learn about writing grants and getting resources and getting business ideas.” To make ends meet, Wu also does some online teaching and works as a Mandarin and Cantonese interpreter at local hospitals. “This is clearly her passion,” Goldman said, referring to insurance. “Medical interpreting is a very high-paying job. However, it’s a job where they just call you when they need you. She might go make a substantial sum in a day, but she might not work for a month after that. “You really learn a lot about how society is a little bit ... it’s hard,” Goldman said. “A lot of people are just trying to improve their situation but can’t quite get to that next level. That’s what this is all about.” N Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner contributed to this report. Online Editor Elena Kadvany can be emailed at ekadvany@ paweekly.com.

It is third time in as many years that Stanford has hosted a TEDx — the franchise version of the popular TED lecture and performance series, which promotes “ideas worth spreading” in the realms of technology, entertainment and design. One of the TEDx speakers, Ge Wang, will discuss the intersection of technology and music. Wang is a musician, electronic instrument creator and assistant professor at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, or CCRMA (pronounced “karma”). In a conversation with the Weekly Wang said he plans to discuss “the story of using computers to make music in a different way.” According to Wang, humanity is in a “special moment” — a time when music is easier to access, share and create than it has ever been. And Wang wants to make it even easier to compose and share music.

The event features a wide range of speakers and performers, who, in various ways, will advocate for pushing limits, thinking outside of the box and believing that more is always possible. Melinda Sacks, director of media initiatives in the Stanford University Office of Public Affairs, is the producer and curator of TEDxStanford. In the week running up to the event, she has been working feverishly to bring every last detail together. “The goal of TEDxStanford,” Sacks wrote in an email to the Weekly, “is to open the Ge Wang doors of the university to the global community, and to share the exploration and discovery that happens here” — that is, at Stanford. Sacks said the event gives the university the opportunity to showcase all the great work being done at Stanford: “Remarkable arts and untold stories from laboratories, dance studios, engineering classrooms, and all seven

‘Keyboard Conversations’

Although local magician David Gerard will perform in his largest space yet with Saturday’s Mountain View show, he doesn’t think he’ll be quitting his day job as a marketer for Google anytime soon. “A big part of being good at magic is being good with people,” Gerard said. His work in the tech industry also has the added benefit of keeping him in touch with his core audience, the Bay Area tech wizards whose own magic is based in truth and fact. The show’s props will include little more than a deck of cards, David Gerard paper, markers and duct tape. With magic that relies on an intricate insight into the human psyche, Gerard moves away from”rabbit in a hat” illusions, buoyed by trickery and sleight-ofhand. Gerard wants an audience that lingers on the blurred line between perception and reality. “It becomes gray, and I think that’s a good thing,” he said, especially here in Silicon Valley where the fantastic is explainable and the explainable is life. “On stage things just have to seem so innocent,” Gerard said. “The show exists not in fancy props but in people’s heads.” Gerard doesn’t like the term “trick,” because it implies a flatness and predictability, uncolored by a technique’s textural nuances. Though he’s been called a mentalist, Gerard doesn’t like that either. In today’s information age, a simple Internet search of the term would shatter its entertainment value. “If you give people an out, you’re doing them a disservice,” Gerard said. Ultimately, Gerard wants to entertain, so he steers clear of easily-dismissible puff-of-smoke illusions in lieu of a mind-bending show that demonstrates his very real abilities. Gerard will perform at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on May 10 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St., Mountain View. Tickets are $20.

While pop music has a low barrier of entry by design, other genres of music can be harder to get into. It was with this in mind that Jeffrey Siegel developed Keyboard Conversations — the pianist’s long-r u n n i ng concert series, which helps introduce audiences to classical music through a Jeffrey Siegel combination of light conversation and performance. “I make the listening experience an enriching one for the avid music lover, and perhaps even more important, the remarks provide an accessible introduction to people who may not yet be avid music lovers, but who would like to be,” Siegel said of his series, which he will bring to the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto on May 15. Siegel said he believes there are many younger people who are interested in classical music, but who know very little about the genre. In the upcoming performance, titled “Mistresses and Masterpieces,” he will play a number of pieces by Brahms, Schumann, Liszt, Chopin and Debussy — all of them written for or about a significant romantic interest in the composers’ lives. He will preface each piece with “brief and nontechnical” remarks, that he said are designed to help the audience better connect with each composition. “The audience therefore feels they are listening on the inside track,” Siegel explained. Keyboard Conversations: Mistresses and Masterpieces is scheduled for May 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Schultz Cultural Arts Hall at the Oshman Family JCC, located at 3921 Fabian Way, in Palo Alto. Tickets range from $25 to $35. For more information call (650)223-8609 or go to paloaltojcc.org/events, or keyboardconversations.com. —Nick Veronin

the metric of “gross national happiness” as a yardstick for progress. It got Henretig thinking. “What is the true meaning of progress and success?” he asked. It’s a question he will put to the audience at TEDxStanford this weekend, where he intends to “raise questions around how to promote health and well-being in our communities.” One easy way Henretig believes health and well-being can be promoted is for everyone to simply take a deep breath. “It’s OK to slow down,” he said. “In fact, it’s necessary in the fast-paced lives we’re all living.” He said he wants people to think about what truly makes them happy, noting that the answer to that question “might be more simple than we make it out to be.” While the media and advertisers are working hard to convince us that happiness can be bought or achieved by reaching out and

grabbing something, Henretig said he believes people are often happiest when they can just spend time with family, friends and loved ones. Henretig is no Luddite, and he isn’t calling for people to throw away their phones or mobile devices. In fact, it was through a social media campaign that he gathered some of the evidence for his hypothesis that happiness can be very simple. During the making of “The Happiest Place,” Henretig asked his social media followers to post pictures of themselves doing something that made them happy, along with the hashtag #thisishappiness. “That was awesome,” he said, recalling the campaign. What Henretig found was that most people posted pictures of themselves with someone else — friends, family, girlfriends, husbands. “A lot of people shared a lot of the same things that we also saw in Bhutan,” he said. “The images were people with their partners, loved ones, families, children, and

Eating Out The cream of the crop Smitten brings a cool twist to making ice cream by Melissa Landeros

6iÀ V>Ê7iLiÀ

“

‘Brrrista’ Kirsten Aguilar makes a batch of strawberry, TCHO chocolate and salted caramel ice cream using the Brrr Machine, which uses liquid nitrogen to rapidly freeze cream.

Growing up my mom used to say I had two stomachs, and one solely reserved for ice cream, and I still believe that,” said Robyn Sue Fisher, owner and creator of Smitten Ice Cream. A love for ice cream always hovered in the back of Fisher’s mind as she went through college and explored career options. Unhappy with the corporate world, she returned to academia, studying business at Stanford University. While there, Fisher made a bold choice. “I decided to dive into something I love and try to make it better, and that thing is ice cream,” she said. In 2009, Smitten Ice Cream debuted on the streets of San Francisco, where Fisher hauled around a red wagon, selling her sweet creation. The wagon was equipped with Fisher’s version of an ice cream machine, which would churn out fresh, smooth ice cream by the scoop. Two years later, all the hauling paid off: Fisher opened her first location in

Fresh strawberry ice cream, by Smitten Ice Cream in Los Altos, is made from scratch every day using seasonal ingredients. the Hayes Valley neighborhood. After adding another location in Rockridge, and with a location coming soon in Lafayette, Fisher has opened a third store on El Camino Real in Los Altos. The ice cream shop is attached to the Whole Foods Market, which Fisher visited when she was a student in the area. She said she always dreamed of

opening a shop near Stanford. Fisher described the partnership with Whole Foods as a match made in heaven. “(It) gives creditability to our brand ... being approved by Whole Foods, as using good ingredients and being the real thing,” she said. The machine that first churned Fisher’s ice cream is now known as “Brrr,” a patented device that took years and the help of seven engineers to design. She originally got the idea from a Stanford physics professor who would conduct demonstrations making ice cream using liquid nitrogen as a coolant, she said.

The “Brrr” machine cools the ingredients to an extremely low temperature of -321 degrees within minutes, which results in the formation of smaller ice crystals than normal ice cream machines produce, and results in a surprisingly smooth scoop. Organic milk and cream, sugar and flavorings go into the machine and the end product is a flawless sphere with a consistency that Fisher compares to “frozen pudding.” Smitten ice cream is unique, she said, not only because of the way it is made, but also because of its quality and taste. All ingredients are sourced locally

in California, and everything is made to order from scratch, with handpicked ingredients. Customers have the option to choose from a handful of pairings each season, such as the strawberry-white-balsamic flavor, or classic favorites like vanilla and chocolate. Each shop employs an open kitchen where customers can see their treat being made by one of the shops “brrristas.” “It is really important to us to be fully transparent, because we are proud of every ingredient that (continued on next page)

goes into our food,� Fisher said. The brain behind Smitten’s ice cream combination is pastry chef Robyn Lenzi, who makes all the recipes. The process behind creating these unique ice cream flavors is critical, Fisher said. “Every season we revisit recipes, because every harvest is different,� she said, explaining, by way of example, that one rhubarb crop might be more tart than another. “So by revisiting the recipes, we see if we need to change anything in the ratios.� Currently, the Los Altos location is the only one offering “brrrgers,� Smitten’s twist on an ice cream sandwich. One “brrrger� offered includes a shortcake bun, brown sugar ice cream, with peanut butter and brown sugar caramel spreads. Brrristas are trained to be knowledgeable about the products, and can explain any scoop of ice cream — breaking down what is in a particular offering and where different ingredients come from, Fisher said. Eight years after her first spark of inspiration, Fisher’s love of ice cream has become a growing business. “If it wasn’t for that love, then I would have given up a long time ago,� Fisher said. “So I’m smitten with it, it’s supposed to make you smitten with it.� N

Neighbors --1/2

Belle --1/2

(Century 20) Even more so than its recent forebears (and this is saying something), the new comedy film “Neighborsâ€? is all about the riff. With Seth Rogen taking center stage, that’s not such a bad thing: a steady flow of one-liners improves the odds for laughs. It’s not easy having less story than a Will Ferrell movie, but “Neighborsâ€? is undaunted. With less a plot than a series of sketches, the latest film from Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshallâ€?) explores variations on the theme of bad fences making bad neighbors, as the fraternity Delta Psi Beta moves in next door to a couple whose early parenthood already has them emotionally vulnerable. “Just because we have a house and a baby doesn’t mean we’re old people,â€? insists Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne), as much to convince herself as her husband Mac (Rogen). In the process of attempting to befriend and, failing that, master their loud-partying neighbors, Kelly and Mac set about proving they can keep up with the Joneses, despite being the parents of a baby daughter. Representing for the frat house are its president, dumb party animal Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron), and vice president, the studious, going-places Pete (Dave Franco). If Pete is motivated by letting off some steam between exams, Teddy is all about achieving his legacy through some legendary party, as yet undreamed of, to be remembered for decades to come, and both value brotherhood. With their potential for harshing the party vibe, the Radners quickly become Delta Psi Beta’s natural enemies, to be outmaneuvered at every turn. What follows is something akin to “The War of the Rosesâ€? (though it could do with a bit more of that film’s savage satire). Though the rest of the neighbors are only glimpsed, the conflict between the Radners and Delta Psi Beta makes an effective microcosm for local politics at the neighborhood level, where selfish interests, petty though they may be, take on outsized proportions. Accountant Mac and stay-at-home mom Kelly need their sleep, as does their growing child, but the frat, with “I’ve gotta be meâ€? attitude and bass-heavy music, can’t not party all the time. Rogen essentially plays himself (which he’s proven good at), while Byrne comically unleashes femme fatality as but one weapon in her Machiavellian arsenal. The best, and funniest, part of “Neighborsâ€? is its refusal to shunt Kelly to the sideline, and there’s a hilarious, postmodern argument between the marrieds about their correspondence to film and TV stereotypes, wherein Mac defensively complains that Kelly is filling his comfortable role of low expectations for men: “HavenĂ­t you seen a Kevin James movie?â€? Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien’s screenplay is smart enough to humanize Teddy a little (as the senior belatedly realizes he has squandered his chance to learn anything that might serve him outside of a frat house) and to own up to the Radners’ transgressive selfishness (while still excusing them as just-folks in the end). Nimble performances by the likeable top-billed foursome go a long way to making the anemic story feel satisfying. It’s all very larky and goofy, and if you can meet “Neighborsâ€? in that place (and assuming you have a tolerance for raunchy, R-rated comedy), you can get a nice buzz off of it. Rated R for pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout. One hour, 36 minutes. — Peter Canavese

(Aquarius) In much the same way films based on novels often send moviegoers to bookstores, films “based on a true story� often send moviegoers to historical accounts to find out what really happened. Generally speaking, the movies always seem inadequate in comparison to their source material, but when they make enticing “previews� for actual history, they do a kind of service, especially to young audiences, and perhaps that’s the best that can be said for the simplifications of “Belle.� “Belle� opens in 1769, as Captain John Lindsay (Matthew Goode) of the Royal Navy locates his biracial illegitimate daughter “Belle� and rescues her from slavery. Lindsay installs the girl with his great-uncle William Murray, First Earl of Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife Lady Mansfield (Emily Watson). Though immediately scandalized, they take in the girl — full name Dido Elizabeth Belle — and before long, she’s part of the family, albeit a part of the family not allowed to take dinner with them. Once full grown, Dido (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) begs the question of a husband, an awkward situation for a “mulatto� girl raised by high-society whites. Matters are less complicated for Dido’s sisterly cousin — and bosom companion since childhood — Elizabeth Murray (Sarah Gadon). Screenwriter Misan Sagay takes creative license to create, pretty much from whole cloth, an Austen-esque romantic drama from this situation, in which money is an issue (the cinematic Dido winds up a well-off heiress to her father’s fortune, whereas Elizabeth has no such dowry on offer) but race even more so. Dido has two options, one perfectly adequate (James Norton) if more or less transparently interested in Dido’s exoticism and dowry rather than her soul, and a dashing downlow suitor that oozes passion for both her and social justice: vicar’s son and aspiring lawyer John Davinier (Sam Reid). Clearly, Davinier is the man for her, as evinced by his abolitionist advocacy. Unfortunately, this sets him at odds with Lord Mansfield, who, as Lord Chief Justice, is considering a slave trade case with the potential to disrupt “the finances that hold up England.� The powerful social forces at play — from propriety to slavery — give the story some heft. Director Amma Asante wrangles crisp period imagery, and in its broad strokes, “Belle� captures the intrigue of the real Dido, subject of a famously captivating portrait that is more fascinating and extraordinary than the film around it. Raw makes Dido charismatic without being unduly confident or modern, and the subtleties of Wilkinson’s performance go a long way to selling a script that consistently favors blunt statement over subtext (kudos too to an underused Watson and Miranda Richardson as the crafty mother of Belle’s first suitor). “Belle�’s triumphant racial enlightenment has clearly been rigged for maximum dramatic impact and uplift (the real Davinier, by the by, was a gentleman’s steward, not the upwardly mobile intellectual of the film). Older viewers may be unconvinced by the imposed narrative formulas, but with its PG rating (and a dastardly supporting role for Tom “Draco Malfoy� Felton), “Belle� makes a fine opening to engage kids in some race-based social and legal history. Rated PG for thematic elements, some language and brief smoking images. One hour, 44 minutes. — Peter Canavese

Best Selection of on the Peninsula at

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 --1/2 Marc Webb’s sequel “The Amazing Spider-Man 2� about Marvel Comics’ famed Manhattan webslinger succeeds in being a largely well-produced comic-book movie extravaganza, but its weighty baggage may leave audiences wishing it had traveled light. Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner pick up where the 2012 film left off, with Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) tortured about dating the girl he loves, Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone), because of his dangerous double life as Spider-Man. Danger obligingly arrives in the forms of Russian mobsters and a series of supervillains. In the film’s biggest tonal misstep, Webb directs Oscar winner Jamie Foxx to ham it up big-time as pocket-protected Max Dillon, who becomes the super-charged Electro as the result of that standby, the tragic lab accident. The lab is located in the skyscraping Oscorp Industries, where Peter’s old friend Harry Osborne (Dane DeHaan) inherits from not-so-dear old dad (Chris Cooper) both the CEO position and a fatal genetic disease. As Spidey fans know, Osbornes notoriously suit up as sky-surfing bad guys under the brand name of Green Goblin. Throw in a large heaping of backstory involving Peter’s long-gone parents, a couple of juicy scenes for Sally Field as Peter’s Aunt May, and the emergence of one more supervillain (Paul Giamatti), and you start to see how “The Amazing Spider-Man 2� quickly reveals itself to be crowded, busy and lumbering. On the “Amazing� score, Webb fares pretty well, in giant-sized confrontations on Manhattan city streets. The frenetic nature of these scenes consistently threaten to spike into the red, but they serve their purpose, and Spidey’s high-flying CGI stunt double has become considerably more convincing over the years. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence. Two hours, 22 minutes. — P.C.

The real reason for the experiments is “trying to understand the basic laws of nature,� a goal with no military or commercial application. Levinson has chosen articulate spokespeople in Kaplan, Stanford’s Savas Dimopoulos, Harvard’s Nima ArkaniHamed, Italy’s Fabiola Gianotti, CERN’s Martin Aleksa, “Beam Operation Leader� Mike Lamont and post-doc Monica Dunford. Covering from 2007 to 2012, Levinson’s film pulls from over 500 hours of footage assembled by legendary editor Walter Murch (“The Conversation,� “The English Patient�), as it observes CERN’s search for the Higgs particle. But the drama is on a human scale: The film efficiently reminds us of how CERN had to play politics, dispel hysterical fears, weather a media frenzy and present its results under intense public scrutiny. If the film disappoints, it only does so by not being yet more rigorous in its scientific detail. Still, even a science dunce will walk away with a basic understanding of the project and a strong impression of the community around this important research. Better yet, here is a film about the idealistic pursuit of knowledge: something we should all be able to agree upon admiring.Not rated. One hour, 39 minutes. — P.C.

Real estate: a way to

diversify

Income drives investment in multi-residential properties by Kimberlee D’Ardenne

T

he stock market is volatile, interest rates are negligible and the economic future is uncertain. So, what is a good investment today? In a supply-constrained market like Palo Alto and Menlo Park where there are limited amounts of land available for development, real estate can be a good investment. Investment properties purchased by individuals typically are multi-residential properties. Such properties range in size from a duplex all the way up to small apartment buildings. Keri Nicholas, who has worked in real estate on the Peninsula for 23 years, said the majority of the multi-residential buyers she deals with pursue the properties as a way to diversify their investment portfolio. “(Multi-residential properties) are a tangible asset that brings in income,” Nicholas said, “and work well as a retirement vehicle because you know long term that you will have monthly rent.” With the current rents in the Bay Area and the positive economic outlook in Silicon Valley, multi-residential properties are an investment capable of a healthy income stream, Nicholas added. “Most buyers are savvy investors, and they want these properties to hold on to,” she said. “Some buy them for their kids, and they see it as a vehicle for not having their kids’ rent be too high

Most multi-residential properties are usually older structures; building a new one is possible only on specifically zoned lots, Nicholas said. Some multi-residential structures in Palo Alto and Menlo Park date to the early 1900s. “Downtown North (in Palo Alto) has a lot of Craftsman-style bungalows that may look like a single-family house on the outside but are actually multi-residential dwellings,” Pasin said. The market for multi-residential

properties is similar to other realestate markets in the Bay Area. Though multi-residential properties make up a small part of the real-estate market, in the past three years the multi-residential market has seen growth similar to the single-family home market, Nicholas said. “It is very tight,” she added. Pasin also said the Palo Alto market is very competitive. “For both income properties as (continued on page {£)

well as single-family properties, inventory is extremely low,” Pasin said, “but there is big demand for both.” Like single-family home and commercial property sales in Palo Alto and Menlo Park, multi-residential sales involve multiple offers almost always over the asking price. The recent sale of 360 Hawthorne Ave. in Palo Alto yielded eight offers, sold in cash for a million dollars over the asking price and closed in just four days, Pasin said. Cash purchases for multi-residential sales are common, but not just because of the competitive market. Many buyers are investors looking to purchase property via a 1031 exchange under federal tax law. Such exchanges allow investors to defer taxes incurred from the sale of a property by buying a similar property within a timeframe specified by state and federal governments. “1031 exchanges are tax deferring for investors to move up or diversify their investments,” Pasin said, “and most exchanges are local.” Nicholas said sometimes groups of people buy multi-residential properties together, for investment purposes but also as a creative way to afford more home in the current market. Though cash purchases are common, Pasin said whether a property sells depends on the terms and price of the offer. Some buyers who can afford cash purchases often opt to take

Selling a multi-residential property presents different challenges than selling a single-family home. “Usually for a single-family home, there is more time to prepare (the) property for sale,” Pasin said. “If the income property is tenant-occupied, you (might not) have the opportunity to (prepare) it before the property comes on the market. Often it’s difficult to show the insides of units of multi-residential properties because they are tenant-occupied.” When a tenant-occupied property sells, any ongoing leases transfer to the new owner, Nicholas said. “Before sale, usually the term of the lease is up or made month-to-month,”

Nicholas said. If leases are not month-to-month, they are kept until the term expires, Nicholas added, at which point rents can be adjusted. While some buyers do redevelop multi-residential properties, others keep them as is and instead bring the rents to current market value, Pasin said. Motivation to purchase a multiresidential property varies. Roughly 70 percent of buyers Nicholas has worked with use the property only as an investment while the remaining buyers reside in the property, she said.

The field include Olympic gold medalists like Matt Biondi and Stanford graduate Misty Hyman. Barnea competed in the women’s 70-74 division while representing Stanford Masters, which had 33 swimmers in the meet. Among Barnea’s victories was a national age-group record of 3:06.72 in the 200 IM. She also won the 50 breast, 100 breast, 200 breast, 200 fly and 400 IM.

grew up about a half-hour drive from USC. Seniors Annika Dries and Lexie Ross played their high school ball at Laguna Beach, an hour from the Trojans’ water polo facility. “I was actually a little nervous that we had to play both the MPSF and NCAA tournaments at USC,”

Dodson said. “But after having success there, we’re feeling confident. And it is L.A., where I always feel comfortable.” Stanford (22-1) enters the national championships as the top seed, a ranking it earned by beating defending NCAA champion USC and No. 2 UCLA during the

regular season and then beating the Bruins again in the final of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament. Should the Cardinal reach the title game, it’s highly probable one of those two schools will be ­V Ì Õi`Ê Ê iÝÌÊ«>}i®

Women’s tennis begins defense of NCAA title

by Keith Peters he last time the Palo Alto boys swim team was defeated at the SCVAL De Anza Division championships, it came in rival Gunn’s pool in 2010. Since then, the Vikings have splashed to victory during the past three seasons and should make it four in a row on Friday when the 2014 championships get under way. Palo Alto, which cruised through the regular dual-meet season with a 6-0 mark, is perhaps faster and deeper than last season when it defeated runner-up Monta Vista by 101 points.

By Rick Eymer he Stanford women’s tennis team was not favored to win the NCAA title last season. But, the Cardinal did. Despite being the defending champ, Stanford is once again not favored to win it all. Stay tuned as the Cardinal begins its title defense. Stanford (16-2) opens the NCAA tournament at home Friday at the Taube Family Tennis Center with a match against MAAC titlist Quinnipiac (13-10) at 2 p.m. Tulsa and Long Beach State square off at 11 a.m. with the two winners meeting Saturday at 1 p.m. Last year, the Cardinal opened the tournament seeded 12th and went on to become the lowest seed

MAKING THE TEAM . . . Stanford All-American setter James Shaw is one of three collegiate players to be named to the 2014 U.S. Men’s National Team preliminary roster for FIVB World League competition, USA Volleyball announced this week. A Woodside native, Shaw is joined on the preliminary roster by former Cardinal All-Americans Kawika (2010) and Erik (2012) Shoji. Seven Olympians are also a part of the roster. Shaw is one of three collegians named to the training roster along with USC’s Micah Christenson and BYU’s Taylor Sander. All three have played internationally as part of the USA Volleyball High Performance Program, but only Christenson has played with the senior national team. Shaw just completed his sophomore season on The Farm, helping lead the Cardinal to the NCAA championship match. He was a second team AVCA All-American and a first team All-MPSF performer. He ranked ninth nationally in assists per set (10.86) and directed the Cardinal offense, which led the MPSF and was second in the nation, in hitting percentage (.334).

Palo Alto sophomore Mimi Lin defended her SCVAL De Anza Division diving title Tuesday.

National honor for record run Stanford’s Cuffe shatters school mark in 5,000 at Jordan Invitational

S

Water polo ­V Ì Õi`ÊvÀ Ê«ÀiÛ ÕÃÊ«>}i®

Stanford’s Aisling Cuffe ran a historic 15:11.13 in the 5,000. was in attendance Sunday. Cuffe, the 2014 NCAA indoor 5,000 runner-up, is now the fastest active 5,000 runner in the country. In the top section of the men’s 5,000, the top eight times in the world this year all came out of that single race. And we can’t forget Stanford recruit Elise Cranny. The senior from Niwot, Colo., became the second-fastest 1,500 runner in girls’ high school history. Competing in the fast section against collegians and pros, Cranny was sixth in 4:10.95. N Sunday’s championship match is set for 5:30 p.m. All matches will be streamed live through ncaa.com. Dodson (her younger sister Cory is also a member of the Cardinal) feels the five seniors, a group that also includes Kaitlyn Lo and Kelsey Suggs, have played a part in creating a positive atmosphere. “We’ve come a long way and we’re hopeful the experience will carry over,” she said. “The important thing was to build chemistry. When I was a freshman, the seniors were amazing and made me feel right at home. I have to admit that first year was overwhelming. My goal this year was to pay it forward and make these freshman welcome.” Two of the freshmen, Jamie Neushul and Dani Jackovich, are members of the 10-plus goals club. Neushul’s older sister Kiley, who also plays at Stanford, was named winner of the Peter J. Cutino Award in 2012. That serves as the national player of the year honor. This year, Dries and sophomore Maggie Steffens are two of the finalists for the Cutino Award, along with UCLA goalie Sami Hill. Dries won the award in 2011, before taking a year off to join the United States Olympic team, with Steffens. Kiley Neushul leads the Cardinal with 46 goals, followed by Steffens with 44, sophomore Ashley Grossman (41), sophomore Anna Yelizarova (35), Jamie Neushul, Dodson, Jackovich (16) and Cory Dodson (10).

Men’s tennis Stanford (14-5) opens the NCAA tournament on the road, meeting Tulsa (15-12) on Saturday morning in Waco, Texas. Host Baylor and Texas A&MCorpus Christi play in the other first-round match. The Cardinal won its last five regular-season matches before being upset by Oregon in the second round of the Pac-12 tournament. Stanford owns a 103-19 record since the NCAA tournament went to its present format in 1977, participating in all but three tournaments. During that time, Stanford has won 15 NCAA team titles, with the most recent crown in 2000. The availability of Maciek Romanowicz, who has been sidelined by injury, is unlikely to be determined before Saturday.

The talented sophomore is 13-4 overall, 8-2 in duals and capable of playing at any of the top three courts. Romanowicz actually managed to hold down a singles ranking for nearly two months despite limited playing time. Stanford has received its most consistent singles efforts from No. 1 John Morrissey and Anthony Tsodikov this season. Daniel Ho, Trey Strobel, Nolan Paige and Robert Stineman complete the singles lineup. Menlo School grad Jamin Ball has been teaming with Morrissey in doubles play. The pair has won their past three matches. Women’s lacrosse Stanford makes its fifth appearance at the NCAA tournament and second consecutive, when it plays No. 9 ranked Duke on Friday in a first-round game at Notre Dame. The No. 19 Cardinal (14-4) was second in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation regular season and tournament. Duke (9-7) was fourth in the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference and lost to Virginia in the first round of the ACC tournament. The winner will match up with Notre Dame (9-8), the ACC’s seventh-place team, or Big South Conference champion High Point (14-5) in the second round on Sunday. Stanford returned 11 starters and 96 percent of its goals from last year’s team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. N

the opponent. Stanford, which meets No. 8 Indiana in the opening round on Friday at 3:30 p.m., lost to the Trojans in quadruple overtime last year. The Cardinal has not forgotten. “We’re excited about the weekend,” Dodson said. “We hope to go out a winner. We also understand anything can happen. We’re on top right now but we’re not feeling too much pressure. It’s almost like we’re the underdogs. We have been looking forward to this for a long time and we’re ready.” Indiana (23-5) advanced into the tournament by defeating No. 9 Wagner, 11-6, in an NCAA playin game last weekend. The Hoosiers won the CWPA tournament to earn a spot in the tournament draw. Canadian Shae Fornier, who has scored 73 goals, leads them offensively. Other first-round matchups include No. 3 USC (24-3) against No. 6 UC Irvine (24-7), No. 2 UCLA (25-4) versus No. 7 UC San Diego (27-10) and No. 4 California (19-8) against No. 5 Arizona State (15-10). Castilleja grad Sallie Walecka and Sacred Heart Prep grad Sarah Westcott both play for PomonaPitzer. The Stanford-Indiana winner meets the California-Arizona State winner in Saturday’s semifinal round.

tanford junior Aisling Cuffe was named USTFCCCA National Women’s Track and Field Athlete of the Week after her stunning 15:11.13 in the 5,000 meters Sunday night at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational at Stanford’s Cobb Track and Angell Field. Cuffe, who placed sixth in a loaded 26-runner field that included both collegians and professionals, became the third-fastest collegian of all-time and No. 2 ever among American collegians, trailing only Jennifer Barringer Simpson, who ran 15:01.70 indoors for Colorado in 2009. “I wasn’t sure I fast I expected to run,” Cuffe said. “I was ready to run . . . wanted to mix it up with the big dogs . . . it was a lot of fun.” Cuffe, a junior from Cornwallon-Hudson, N.Y., shattered her personal record by more than 42 seconds and broke the Stanford record of 15:20.44 set in 2003 by three-time NCAA outdoor 5,000 champion Lauren Fleshman, who

to win the national title. Once Stanford reached the Round of 16 in Illinois, its opponents were seeded fifth or higher. Should the Cardinal reach the Round of 16, held in Georgia this season, opponents are likely to be seeded sixth or higher. Stanford had to beat last year’s Pac-12 champion USC in last year’s Round of 16. This year, the likely opponent is Pac-12 champ California. The Cardinal has enjoyed success on the courts at Georgia at the NCAA tournament, winning three of the past five titles held in Athens. Stanford is making its 33rd consecutive appearance in the NCAAs, compiling a 129-16 record in since the tournament went to its present format in 1982. All six players in the singles lineup, including No. 3 Kristie Ahn (26-3 overall), are ranked in the top 60 and all will compete in the NCAA singles championship tournament. On the doubles side, two of Stanford’s three pairings own a national ranking. That depth has proved important this year: the Cardinal needed to fill a void left by the early departure of backto-back NCAA singles champion Nicole Gibbs, who turned pro following last year’s national title run, while integrating a trio of freshmen into the lineup. Sophomore Krista Hardebeck, who won clinching matches

against No. 4 Georgia and No. 1 Florida last year, has anchored the No. 2 spot. Junior Ellen Tsay, who clinched Stanford’s win over USC in last season’s round of 16, is 21-7 overall at the No. 5 spot. Freshmen Taylor Davidson, Caroline Doyle and Carol Zhao have combined for a 75-17 record. Davidson is 22-7 overall and playing at the No. 4 spot, Doyle owns a team-best 28-5 overall record while occupying the No. 6 position and Zhao has been nearly unstoppable at the No. 3 line with a 25-5 overall record. The Cardinal has not won back-to-back national titles since winning three straight between 2004-06.

Stanford seniors (L-R) Kelsey Suggs, Kaitlyn Lo, Lexie Ross, Kaley Dodson and Annika Dries hope to bow out with their third NCAA title in water polo this weekend at USC. Sophomore goalie Gabby Stone leads a strong defensive effort that has allowed less than six goals a game. Menlo-Atherton grad Emily Dorst has appeared in 12 contests. Dorst’s older sister and fellow M-A grad Becca plays for UCLA. Kiley Neushul and Indiana’s Amanda Redfern were teammates for three years at Dos Pueblos High, helping the school win section titles each year. Dodson, who has scored 121 career goals, could graduate from Stanford as part of the program’s most heralded senior class. They have reached the past three national title games. Last

year’s senior class became the first to reach four championship games, winning twice (2011 and ‘12) and finishing with an overall record of 109-9. This time around, the seniors carry a 107-7 overall mark into the final weekend and a chance to make history. “It would be fun to celebrate,” Dodson said. “I’ve had my ups and downs along the way. There were times I did not think I would make it through four years. It’s been a long journey.” Dodson said head coach John Tanner has been an important part of her journey.

“He’s been a very different coach than I’ve ever had and I appreciate that,” she said. “He has been patient with me, shared my confidence and has been supportive through all of this. He’s a big part of me getting through four seasons.” Stanford makes its 14th straight appearance at the NCAAs, the only school to qualify for every NCAA women’s water polo tournament since the inaugural event in 2001. Stanford has reached nine national title games and has never finished lower than third at the event, compiling a record of 25-10. N

SHP boys reach CCS golf finals; Gators clinch league lacrosse titles by Keith Peters

T

he entire Sacred Heart Prep boys golf team will play another day, but only two members of Palo Alto’s squad will have that opportunity following the Central Coast Section Regional II tournament on Wednesday. With senior Bradley Knox finishing with six birdies on his final 10 holes and taking second with a 2-under 69, Sacred Heart Prep shot 381 as a team and finished just a shot back of Palma and Serra. The Gators also were third last year, shooting 377. “It was one of the cooler days in recent years, and breezy, but that’s pretty standard for down there,” said SHP coach Mark Dowdy. “Yeah, it was a good result. A few of the boys were disappointed with the way they played but, at this point, all you need to do is advance.” Palo Alto, which qualified fourth last year, struggled on a windy Wednesday and shot 393 at the par-71 Rancho Canada (West) course and wound up seventh. The Vikings needed to finish among the top four teams to earn a berth into next Tuesday’s CCS Championships, also at Rancho Canada (West). Paly’s John Knowles (73) and Matt Lewis (76) will be playing in the section finals as individuals. Joining Knox next week will be teammates Derek Ackerman (71), Taylor Oliver (79), Bradley Keller (79), Ryan Galvin (83) and Shane Snow (91). Not advancing were Palo Alto’s Patrick Fuery (80), Henry Hughes (81), Sam Niethammer (83) and Alex Hwang (85) plus Pinewood’s

Trevor Hernstadt (83) and Menlo School’s Rohin Chandra (94). At the CCS Regional I on Tuesday, also at Rancho Canada (West), Gunn and MenloAtherton failed to advance to the finals, but one boy from each team did move on. MenloAtherton senior Grant Johnson shot a 5-over 76 and Gunn’s Jack Jaffe carded a 6-over 77 as both qualified as individuals to the CCS Championships. Gunn’s Zack Tevanian missed out on advancing by losing a tiebreaker. Boys lacrosse Sacred Heart Prep celebrated its Senior Day in a big way with a 22-4 victory over visiting Burlingame in SCVAL De Anza Division action Tuesday. The Gators, who won their first division crown last week with a 10-8 win over Menlo School, improved to 11-0 in league (13-4 overall). Seniors Frankie Hattler, Brian White and Sean Mayle combined for 15 goals and seven assists to lead SHP. Hattler had six goals and two assists, White finished with five goals plus one assist and Mayle had four goals and four assists. Will Kremer and Paul Vetter added two goals each. Girls lacrosse Sacred Heart Prep wrapped up its second straight regular-season title in West Bay Athletic League (Foothill Division) action with a 16-1 romp over visiting Castilleja on Wednesday. The Gators (9-0, 16-5) were led by sophomore Ally Mayle’s four goals while senior Caroline Cummings had three goals plus one assist and sophomore Libby Muir

finished with three goals. Brigid White added two goals plus three assists. In the SCVAL, Gunn remained tied for first place with Palo Alto following a 9-4 victory over host Los Gatos. The Wildcats received four yellow cards in the match with one going to their coach. Gunn improved to 11-1 in league (14-2 overall) as senior Anna Cabot scored three goals, junior Caroline Chou added three goals plus an assist and junior Rachael Tsai contributed two goals. The Vikings (11-1, 13-5) kept pace with Gunn following a 17-9 romp over host Mountain View. Seniors Ami Drez and Kristen Destefano each scored four goals to lead the Vikings. Boys tennis Much has gone Menlo-Atherton’s way during a solid season that saw the Bears win a sixth straight PAL Bay Division title while finishing 17-4 overall. On Monday night, good news for Menlo-Atherton continued at the CCS seeding meeting. While it was a given that the Bears would receive a high seed for the team tournament that began Wednesday, which seed was crucial. “We want to be opposite Menlo,” said M-A co-coach Carlos Aguilar. Aguilar and the Bears got their wish as M-A received the No. 3 seed while defending champion Menlo School (17-3) got the No. 1. That means the teams would not face each other until the title match on May 16 at Courtside Club in Los Gatos — should they advance that far. N

Junior teammate Scott Hillen was second with 380.90 with Ryan Brown and Skyler Cox Koulman combining for 16 points while taking ninth and 10th. Including Merritt, Paly returns three individual champions who accounted for five victories in addition to sweeping all three relays. The Vikings could duplicate those totals or even surpass them Friday when action gets under way at 2 p.m. “I do think it will take something spectacular from either us or Monta Vista, combined with a major let-down from Palo Alto, for anyone to beat the Palo Alto boys,” said Gunn coach Mark Hernandez. Leading the Vikings will be senior Andrew Liang, who is headed for Stanford in the fall. He dominated his events last year while setting school records in the 50 free (20.59) and 100 fly

Gunn sophomore Vivian Zhou was third at the SCVAL De Anza Division diving finals on Tuesday with 465.00 points. (47.88), the latter of which erased the meet record of set by the legendary Mark Spitz in 1967. Liang also led off the winning 200 free relay that set a meet record of 1:26.21 and anchored the 400 free relay to victory.

also has a solid supporting cast that includes senior Scott Powell, junior Winston Wang, sophomore Andrew Cho and freshman Alex Liang. Gunn, which finished third last season, is led by sophomore Daichi Matsuda. He’s the defending champion in the 500 free (4:34.31). The Titans also have Joao Ama, Luke Chui, Michael Lincoln and Trent Tosky. In the girls’ meet, Gunn will be out to defend its title after ending Palo Alto’s streak of 10 straight championships last season. Monta Vista, however, won the dual-meet title this season with a 6-0 mark. “The girls side will be a fun and fast meet,” Hernandez said. “If I read the entries correctly, Monta Vista and we will go back and forth, some events favoring us, some favoring them.” Gunn has a slim six-point advantage over Monta Vista following Tuesday’s diving, which saw Paly sophomore Mimi Lin defend her title with 481.45 points. That moved Lin to No. 2 all-time at Paly. Lin’s effort helped the Vikings score 35 points, the same number

put up by Los Gatos. Gunn was next with 32 as sophomore Vivian Zhou finished third with 465.00 points, a big improvement over her third-place mark of 417.48 last year. In the pool, Gunn will have defending champ Jenna Campbell (200 free, 500 free) leading the way while Paly has defending champ Jayna Wittenbrink back in the 100 fly. Campbell won her specialties last week and swam on two winning relays to help Gunn defeat Palo Alto, 110-76, and finish 5-1 in the dual-meet season. Freshman Grace Zhao paced the Vikings by winning the 50 free in a fast 24.09, one of the top five marks in school history. In the boys’ meet, Palo Alto posted a 112-71 victory as Andrew Liang won two individual events and swam on two winning relays.
