Board: Seek clarification but avoid pushback with feds School trustees discuss long-anticipated civil-rights agreement by Elena Kadvany

majority of the Palo Alto school board agreed Tuesday night that the best course of action forward on a proposed resolution agreement from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on sexual harassment cases at the district’s two high schools is to seek clari-

fication when needed but to avoid pushing back on requirements. Primarily, the school board disagreed with a recommendation from Superintendent Max McGee to limit an independent investigation and review to only current students and teachers. In the draft resolution agreement,

provided in December, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) directs the district to hire an independent investigator, to be approved by the federal agency, to conduct proper Title IX investigations into former Paly Principal Phil Winston’s alleged sexual harassment of students, former Paly teacher Kevin Sharp’s alleged consensual sexual relationship with a former student and reports of off-campus sexual violence between 2012 and 2014. “This is the Office for Civil

Rights. They make suggestions to us, and my default is to accept those suggestions unless there is some compelling reason not to,” board member Jennifer DiBrienza said. A majority of the board agreed that while the district can ask the Office for Civil Rights to clarify what an independent investigation might entail, there could be cases of sexual harassment or violence that they’re unaware of involving former students — students who may “have been harmed (and) to

whom we owe equitable relief,” board member Todd Collins said. The independent investigation — the concept of which McGee does not object to and will comply with, he said — could shed light on how the district erred in the past so it can correct its practices for the future. “This isn’t just about going and finding people that have been harmed,” said Vice President Ken Dauber, who served as the tempo(continued on page 10)

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Police to pilot psychiatric response team Officer and mental health professional will respond to mental health calls by Sue Dremann

he Palo Alto Police Department will soon become the first in Santa Clara County to pair an officer and a mental health professional on the streets in an attempt to bring mental health services to persons in need and keep them out of jail. Pending state review and approval early this year, the trained team of a police officer and a county behavioral-health-services clinician would travel together to mental health crisis calls to evaluate the situations and coordinate services for the person in need, said Toni Tullys, director of Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services. The new Psychological Emergency Response Team, or PERT, will ramp up for three months and then pilot its services for three months, she said. If successful, the program

could roll out to other law enforcement agencies throughout the county. The program has worked elsewhere in the state: Police and county behavioral-health professionals are hoping it will keep people from ending up in jail unnecessarily. Last year, police in Palo Alto put more people in 72-hour psychiatric holds than in any year of the past decade: 243 people, up from 239 in 2015. Between Jan. 1, 2006, and Dec. 27, 2015, officers placed 1,760 people in holds, an average of 176 people per year, according to department records. Although most Palo Alto police officers receive crisis-intervention training in addition to a statemandated course, mental health professionals say there’s a greater need for crisis teams that include a mental health professional.

Police respond to many calls involving mental health issues, beyond those that end in the 72-hour or so-called “5150” holds, police spokesman Lt. Zach Perron said. Many calls have a mental health aspect that isn’t discovered until after the officer arrives, he added. Some situations with mentally ill persons become deadly. On Dec. 25, 2015, officers fatally shot William Raff, a man with schizophrenia who charged at them carrying a table knife in downtown Palo Alto. The three officers involved were exonerated, but the tragedy highlighted the difficult situations that officers face. A trained clinician could help the situation by accessing the person’s history and assessing the situation, Tullys said. The mental (continued on page 6)

hat started as one father’s shock over his seventh-grade son’s book report on David Starr Jordan’s involvement in eugenics has culminated in a committee’s recommendation to rename that Palo Alto Unified school, as well as two others named for men who promoted eugenics. A majority of the school district’s Renaming Schools Advisory Committee, convened last year to study the issue of renaming, has recommended in a final report that David Starr Jordan Middle School, Lewis B. Terman Middle School and the Ellwood P. Cubberley Community Center be renamed (the latter only if it is reopened as a school) due to their namesakes’ leadership in the early 20th-century movement that promoted the reproduction of genetic traits of particular races over others. The 61-page report and 15 accompanying appendices reflect nine months of meetings, research, community outreach and often contentious discussion among committee members who vehemently disagreed on the value of renaming schools. In a minority report, four members who oppose renaming argue “the images these names evoke are not of an ugly racist ideology but of shared memories, community and growing up.” But the majority of the committee’s 13 members — which include the student who wrote the book report on Jordan and his father, other parents, alumni, one teacher and other

community members — believe that the schools’ names evoke reprehensible beliefs that are at direct odds with the values and mission of a public school district. “With everything we now know about the eugenics legacies of David Starr Jordan, Lewis Terman and Ellwood Cubberley, the majority of the committee believes that it is time to close the chapter on honoring these men and to create a sense of shared community and identity with new names — names we can all be proud of, namesakes who did not endeavor to disenfranchise and diminish students whose identities or learning differences didn’t live up to their preconceived ideals but also names that maintain the close relationship of the community with its schools,” the report states. The report presents an exhaustive argument for renaming, detailing the histories of Jordan, Terman and Cubberley — both their professional contributions to the community and their advocacy of forced sterilization, racial and ethnic segregation and other eugenics-driven beliefs. Jordan is best known as the founding president of Stanford University; Terman, as a psychologist and Stanford faculty member known for creating an IQ test, and Cubberley, as a professor and later dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Education. In response to the argument that it is unfair to judge Jordan, Terman and Cubberley by today’s standards, and that eugenics (continued on page 12)

health professional can find out if the person has had treatment in the past or has run out of medication, which might be contributing to the crisis — information that police cannot access because officers cannot search medical records. The pilot program will not cost the department any money; it will be funded through California’s Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act. The project will focus on persons ages 18 to 25, but the team can also respond to calls involving people outside of that age bracket, he said. A similar PERT team in San Mateo County launched in March 2015. Jason Albertson, a licensed clinical social worker with San Mateo County’s Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, said last year that the program has prevented potential tragedies. He and San Mateo County Det. Jim Coffman comprise the team.

When they arrived at a home where a man was having a crisis, he said by way of example, they were able to remove realisticlooking toy guns from the home. “If an officer had come to that door and (the man) had displayed something that looks realistic, he could have been shot,” Albertson said. Tullys said the county was inspired by a successful PERT program in San Diego County, which launched in 1995. There, law enforcement has seen a steady rise in mental health calls for service. Between 2008 and 2014 San Diego County saw a 62.3 percent increase in dispatch calls for mental health-related cases, according to a San Diego County Board of Supervisors staff report. Without the teams, officers would be handling these cases in addition to their regular criminal case loads. San Diego now has PERT teams throughout the county. n Staff Writer Sue Dremann can be reached at sdremann@ paweekly.com.

On chasing criminals, race relations and being the chief Palo Alto Police Chief Dennis Burns reflects on 35-year career

t takes Palo Alto Police Chief Dennis Burns about 15 minutes to walk from King Plaza to the conference room inside the Police Department — a remarkably sluggish pace for a guy who used to run track at San Jose State University and who made headlines just six years ago by chasing down a bike-riding purse-snatcher on University Avenue. But it’s not entirely his fault. First, he is approached by a man whose wife had been involved in a car accident, who wants to submit a police report and who only speaks Mandarin (Burns walks the man to the police station inside City Hall, where he is provided with a translator). He then says hello to a homeless man who regularly spends his days at City Hall, responds to a greeting from a stranger and then stops as a fellow with a mustache and a beanie approaches him on the plaza. “Going to take up fishing now?” the man asks. “No fishing and no golf.” After a brief chat about the past and the future, the man says, “Hope to see you again soon, under better circumstances.” “God bless you,” Burns replies. It’s no coincidence that just about everyone knows Burns, and vice versa. For the past 34 years, the Palo Alto Police Department has been his home away from home, and when it comes to police work, he’s pretty much done it all. After starting as a patrol officer in 1982, Burns held stints as detective, crime-prevention officer, defensive-tactics instructor, SWAT team member and assistant chief before getting the nod for the top position in 2009. On Dec. 29, his last day on the job before retirement, Burns sat down with the Weekly to look back on his years in the department and to offer his thoughts on fair and impartial policing, surveillance technology, asylum cities and the many joys and challenges of policing in Palo Alto. Q: Let’s start at the beginning, Chief. When did you first decide that you wanted to be a police officer? A: Growing up in the Sunset (neighborhood of San Francisco) you were probably going to be one of five things, and they all start with the letter “p.” You can be a plumber; you can work for PG&E; you can work for the phone company; or you’re gonna be a police officer or a priest. My mom wanted me to be a priest — that’s the special intention of every Irish mother: You want your boys to be priests. A lot of the guys in the neighborhood were police officers, and they were

good sorts. The job was interesting. So probably from the time I was 15, I knew I wanted to do it. Q: In football, they say when a team loses, the coach gets too much blame, and when it wins, the coach doesn’t get enough credit. Is that how it’s like with police chiefs? How much control does a new police chief really have over the department? A: Certain things happen to the community or the department well beyond the control of a police chief. What the police chief is really responsible for is how does a city or how does a police department respond to that. How do we react? Do we accept responsibility when we make a mistake or do we say, “It’s not our fault.” If we’re smart, we try to work together. Q: Do you remember the first arrest you made? A: My first arrest was a guy whom we stopped and he had some warrants and he gave me his brother’s name. Remember John Costa (a veteran officer who retired in 2009)? He went ahead and told me on the radio, “He uses his brother’s name from time to time.” He was like an early version of “Police Google” — he knew it all. He said, “Try his name. His brother’s name is X.” Sure enough, it turned out they weren’t serious warrants, but I remember being like, “Hey. This is the first time I arrested someone.” Q: When you got into detective investigating, did you like it more than patrolling? What part of the job is more appealing to you — the more strategic, solving-the-riddle type stuff or chasing down a guy on University Avenue to get a purse back? A: They are all satisfying. There’s different parts of the brain, and those stimulate different parts of the brain. For detective work — number one, you learn a lot. You work with judges and district attorneys; you get arrest warrants. A lot of times in patrol, your goal is to make an arrest, and it’s like you’re building a part of the car. In investigations, you’re building a lot of the car. You’re not just putting the hubcaps on, you’re getting the case ready to be filed, and not only filed, but you’re trying to find out — is this person responsible for other crimes that are so far not yet reported, can we prove those, can we find other victims and can we prove those? Q: One of the major cars you were charged with putting together was the Peninsula rapist.

What was it like to work on that investigation? A: When this guy landed it was like aliens. He hit, like, six times within two weeks and then he was quiet for a while — had about three or four months off. Then he had an attempt. Tom Pohl, one of our officers, spotted the vehicle and that kind of led to a chain of events which ultimately resulted the apprehension of Romel Reid. ... I remember that day — Jan. 17, 1996 — where we ended up arresting the guy. Q: In the late 1990s, you got another new boss — Pat Dwyer. Did Dwyer change things or was he more into preserving continuity? A: He brought a different perspective. On community policing, he changed it so it’s less of a responsibility of one group. It’s a philosophy for the entire organization, not just, “Those people handle that.” The expectation is that we as police officers — we have police powers but also we can solve problems at a city level — be it bushes that are covering a sign or other nuisance that isn’t technically a police thing. Q: And he was succeeded by the department’s first female police chief — Lynne Johnson. Did she carry on her predecessor’s legacy? A: Lynne and Pat both were ahead of the game when it came to some of the stuff we see now. Pat made us one of the first agencies in the area that voluntarily collected demographic data on all of our stops. Lynne was also very interested in the accountability piece. She brought us our first version of the (vehicle) cameras. Those have raised the bar for our officers, and I think our community has a higher level of trust knowing that when the cops are out there, they have a camera strapped to the patrol car. Q: What was Lynne Johnson’s departure like? (She resigned in 2008 after making comments that many interpreted as an endorsement of racial profiling.) It must have been a painful chapter because, as you mention, the department is so based around transparency and community outreach. How hard was it dealing with the aftermath? A: It was hard. There was the issue, and then there’s the fact that it’s a public issue and people are concerned and questioning if we’re a legitimate entity or are we actually engaging in something. What’s interesting is that I don’t know anyone that’s done more to ensure that officers avoided it and stayed away

Palo Alto Police Chief Dennis Burns, who has spent 35 years with the department, talks with a resident outside City Hall on his final day on the job, Dec. 29. from racial profiling than Lynne Johnson. It was totally ironic. Q: Are you fairly confident that racial profiling did not exist? A: I think Lynne did her best to ensure there was no racial profiling. We saw what we were doing, and we took some steps (after her departure) to make sure that we absolutely did not engage in it. We had kind of an enhanced concern about our own self-monitoring. If there is one officer or a couple of officers who are getting these kinds of complaints, can we talk to them during training and see if there is an explanation? The beauty is that we have cameras and the cameras do help tell the story. At the same time, people felt that perhaps there was (racial profiling). We needed to hear that and we needed to look at ourselves and say: “How can we get better?” It’s like in sports: “How can we get to the next level?” Q: I want to ask you about two issues that the council had discussed that your successor will likely be thinking about. One is sanctuary cities. What is the police department’s current policy for dealing with immigrationenforcement officials? A: We have a policy on dealing with immigration. Basically, we will respectfully decline participating in anything with ICE or INS — any type of sweep or anything like that. Q: But if it’s the current policy, does that mean the designation (as a sanctuary city) is unlikely to have an effect? A: The reality is, local police deal with state laws — vehicle code, the penal code, health and safety, welfare institution. ... We couldn’t care less about (immigration status). We want people to come to us, regardless of their immigration status. If they’re the victim of a crime, if they’re in a relationship where their child is getting beaten, if they are being extorted and what have you. In some countries the police are the enemy, and we don’t want to have any type of immigration concern that would hinder them or inhibit them from coming to speak with us. Q: The council has been talking about the idea of having a citywide policy that would govern surveillance technology. Are you comfortable with the

department’s current policies on surveillance equipment? A: The policies that we have that exist right now are very strong and they provide our folks with guidance, and they inform people that you can only use this technology for an official law-enforcement purpose. And if you go ahead and choose to use that technology in something beyond that, you’re looking at potential discipline, up to and including criminal charges. ... So, I think those things are there. But at the same time, I understand that the public and the council needs to be really smart. If they can provide kind of like a framework and guidance about what our core values are as a city as it applies to this, I think it will help. And it’s not just police. There’s a Public Works component and a Planning Department component. Q: What are you up to next? A: To be determined. We’ll see. I’m looking at a couple of things. I’ll certainly be working. I’m looking at maybe a community college thing, at least talking to someone about that. I think there will be opportunities that come up, and I’ll just have to sit down with my wife and see, does that work? Q: So you’re planning to be a track coach? Or are we still talking about Administration of Justice? A: It’ll probably be more about Administration of Justice, though I’d love to be a junior college track coach. n A community celebration for Chief Dennis Burns, and Assistant Chief Bob Beacom, will be held Wednesday, Jan. 25, 4-6:30 p.m. at the Palo Alto Elks Club, 4249 El Camino Real, Palo Alto.

Civil rights

rary president at Tuesday’s meeting in Terry Godfrey’s absence. “It’s also to understand what processes broke down, what decisions were made that shouldn’t have been made (and) what exactly was missing that we need to fix. “If we don’t do those investigations, then we won’t know the answers to those questions.” McGee argued that an independent investigation could have “diminishing returns and significant expenses” depending on its scope. For example, tracking down former students and staff could be costly. He took the same position on the resolution agreement’s directive to review all behavioral incident reports from Gunn and Palo Alto high schools from 2012 through 2016. “We’re not disagreeing with the guiding principles” of those two requirements, “just how far back we should go,” McGee told the board. He later agreed to drop that recommendation at the board’s direction. Melissa Baten Caswell — the only trustee who was on the board when the Office for Civil Rights first opened its investigations at Paly and Gunn — expressed concerns about the proposed agreement. She said she was reluctant to agree to a resolution agreement without first receiving the agency’s official findings, which will identify where the district or the schools are legally out of compliance. The Office for Civil Rights has shared its findings verbally in meetings with McGee, Chief Student Services Officer Holly Wade and district attorneys but will not provide anything in writing until the resolution agreement has been signed. Attorney Elizabeth Estes of the law firm Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo, who is working with the district on the resolution agreement, told the board via speakerphone that in her experience with voluntary resolution agreements, the Office for Civil Rights has issued its findings in writing after the agreement is finalized. While the resolution agreement is subject to negotiation and could change, the findings are not, according to the agency’s procedures. The school district will have the option to appeal the findings within 60 days if it believes they are incomplete, incorrect and/or the appropriate legal standard was not applied, according to the Office for Civil Rights’ case-processing manual. McGee said staff sent notes of their understanding of the agency’s findings from these meetings but has yet to receive confirmation from the Office for Civil Rights on what are findings and what might be “concerns.” Baten Caswell asked McGee to share those notes with the board members. “I don’t think we should be signing a resolution if we don’t know what the findings are,” Baten Caswell said. She also voiced concern about

the proposed minimum three-year monitoring period, which could involve requests for more information, site visits and interviews. While three years is “reasonable,” she said, “forever is probably impossible for us to support.” Other board members noted that the monitoring period does have an end point — when the district is found to be in legal compliance, the resolution agreement states. The trustees agreed with McGee that it’s reasonable to seek assurances from the Office for Civil Rights that it will respond to the district in a timely manner. District leadership has expressed frustration in the past that these investigations lasted for several years and that during those years, there was infrequent communication from the Office for Civil Rights. McGee also proposed asking the federal agency to give 30-day notice before visiting the district to interview students and staff and that the notice include the specific purpose for the interviews, the specific students or staff to be interviewed and the expected length of the interviews. This proposal stems from the district’s past experience, he said, when the agency visited the district to interview staff who “felt extremely vulnerable and often discussed, ‘Should I get my own lawyer?’” McGee said. Dauber called this position “unnecessarily defensive” and urged district leaders and staff to see the Office for Civil Rights’ involvement in the district as a positive, not a negative. “I think it’s important and very positive ... to see the role of OCR here as supportive of our efforts

to provide a safe, educational environment for all of our students,” Dauber said. “To the extent that we haven’t done that in the past, which is what gave rise to the findings, we owe it to our students and to our obligations under federal and state law to correct that and to go forward and do better.” McGee will bring the board’s input to his next meeting with the Office for Civil Rights on Jan. 19. The district’s new law firm is supporting the district in the process and has already started to work on policy revisions proposed in the resolution agreement, staff said Tuesday. The district has also started work to develop an anonymous tip line for students and parents to report concerns about sexual harassment or sexual violence, McGee said. The district intends “in large part” to fully comply and cooperate with the Office for Civil Rights, McGee said. He did not recommend any changes to the agency’s other reporting and investigatory requirements, which include to provide staff training on Title IX and investigations and to conduct a student and parent climate survey focused on sexual harassment and the district’s response and prevention efforts, among others. “We all want to do what’s best to protect the safety and security of our students,” he said. “This is not adversarial.” The district has until March 7 to respond to the draft resolution agreement, but McGee said he intends to return to the board for approval in February. n Staff Writer Elena Kadvany can be emailed at ekadvany@ paweekly.com.

was popular in their time, the report provides examples of several people contemporary to the three men who spoke out against eugenics. The report also notes the growing number of school districts, colleges and universities that have been grappling with the same questions, with different outcomes. The renaming committee did agree that more education on eugenics is needed in Palo Alto Unified, recommending that the district incorporate the history of the California eugenics movement and Palo Alto’s role into secondary schools’ social-studies curriculum. The committee is also recommending that the school board add the values of “integrity, innovation and inclusion” to a policy on naming criteria. The group is not recommending

the district change the names of any other schools. The committee also researched the potential financial impact of renaming — the cost of changing everything from school signs and uniforms to business cards and letterheads. The committee estimates the price tag would be about $97,600 and about $45,600 at Jordan and Terman, respectively. Replacing the uniforms for after-school athletics teams at a single site would cost an additional $12,800, according to the committee. Several community groups have taken official stands in support of the recommendation to rename, including the Palo Alto Community Advisory Committee (CAC), which supports families of students with disabilities; Parent Advocates for Student Success (PASS), which supports minority students and families; and the Terman site council. In their “minority position” report, the four authors do not deny the three namesakes’ involvement

in what they describe as a “repugnant and non-inclusive” ideology. But to remove the three men’s names, they argue, would be to erase the symbolism and generations of memories tied to the schools. “As decades have passed, these names have been decreasingly associated with their namesakes and increasingly with the place,” the minority report states. “To change the name of this school will sever the connection with the past.” Three of the four minority-report supports are Palo Alto Unified alumni. The fourth is a current Jordan teacher. The minority report also notes that “there are many who feel that renaming institutions, however well intentioned, serves as a moral Band-Aid that glosses over deeper issues, such as the continuing presence of the achievement gap, and mutes the lessons of history.” The majority report argues that renaming is, in fact, doing the opposite as the “conscious, public act of facing the eugenics legacy.” The four minority members offer a compromise: to hold a public ceremony or ceremonies to formally remove the men’s full names from official school records and facilities but retain the generic names of Jordan, Terman and Cubberley for the sites. The members argue that removing the names completely, even with the addition of curriculum on eugenics, will mean future students will be less engaged in that history. “The controversial and emotional nature of this issue justifies a compromise, as the stakes are high for each side,” the report states. A different committee member, Ben Lenail, offers another “middle-of-the-road” compromise in his own report: to name Terman after Frederick Terman, Lewis’ son, and publicly reject any ties to the father’s legacy. Yet another committee member, Stan Hutchings, a staunch opponent of renaming, wrote his own piece. In it he argues, “A school environment has much more influence on belonging, acceptance, respect/values than a school name.” The district’s time, resources and attention, he added, would be better focused elsewhere. The question over whether to rename now lies in the hands of the school board, which will discuss it at a future meeting. If the board decides to rename Jordan, Terman and Cubberley, it is unclear through what process and when new names would be selected. The renaming committee suggests engaging in a “site-centric renaming approach that involves the students, staff and parents and helps to create a sense of name ownership and belonging.” The renaming committee’s final report and accompanying appendices are posted at pausd.org. n Staff Writer Elena Kadvany can be reached at ekadvany@ paweekly.com.

Wurzburg, Hildy (Hildegard) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It is with great sadness that our family has to announce that the matriarch of our family passed away on Dec. 28, 2016, after a brief illness.

She attended and met the love of her life, Willam (Bill) Wurzburg at Palo Alto High School. She graduated from Stanford with a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in teaching. Her first teaching position was at Garland Elementary school at the age of 20. She and Bill purchased their first home in Menlo Park where they lived for several years. She and her husband, Bill and their daughter Michelle moved to Petaluma in 1963 when Bill got a job as the principal of Penngrove Elementary. Hildy taught for the bulk of her career within the Novato Unified School District, retiring after nearly 42 yrs. Hildy and Bill enjoyed traveling a great deal, often taking their daughters Michelle and Heidi with them on their adventures. For their 25th anniversary, they visited the islands of Hawaii and for their 50th, enjoyed a cruise through the Panama Canal. Hildy also took trips to the Baltic Sea region, Australia and New Zealand. She and her husband belonged to the 901 Elks camping group for many years as well as enjoyed dancing with the Cotillion group of Petaluma and with a local square dancing club.

Patricia Nell Ferguson Weaver August 9, 1944 to September 16, 2016 Resident of Palo Alto

Patricia Nell Ferguson Weaver passed away peacefully in her sleep September 16, 2016, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Dallas, Texas, Patricia Nell Ferguson the daughter of Julia and Charles Ferguson, spent her elementary and junior high school years moving back and forth between Texas and California as her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs in the insurance industry changed. Graduating from John Muir High School in Pasadena, California, she attended Stanford University where she earned a BA in French and an MA in Education. While at Stanford, she met Richard Weaver whom she married in 1966 following a two-year courtship. Patricia and Richard settled in their â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever houseâ&#x20AC;? in Palo Alto, where they lived since 1974. Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional path always involved teaching. Before interrupting that career to have children, she taught French, History, and Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Physical Education at Hopkins Junior High and Irvington High in Fremont. When her children got older, she returned to teaching, as an SAT tutor, as a grader for Advanced Placement History and English classes, and occasionally as a classroom teacher, teaching English at Menlo-Atherton High School and Sacred Heart Prep as a long-term substitute or as a temporary replacement. However, her enthusiasm for helping people learn to think and write led her to fulfill her real passion which was to develop a tutoring and mentoring practice that she actively continued until just a few months before her death. In addition to working with students, Patricia helped to develop curriculum for local high school English departments while mentoring teachers, helping them to hone their skills. Always a committed Christian, Patricia loved the Lord. Her twenty-seven year battle with breast cancer energized her to share Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love with all whom she came in contact. Instead of being embittered by her condition, she enthusiastically embraced each day as a gift from God that was to be lived with dignity and grace. Her ability to actively listen to others, empathize with their situations, and to provide thoughtful suggestions for solutions to their problems made her a much sought after friend, counselor, and companion. Although family and friends sorely miss her, they all rejoice in the certainty that she is in heaven, free from her earthly pain and suffering. Patricia leaves behind her husband of 50 years, Richard Weaver of Palo Alto, CA, her daughter and son-in-law Tricia and Charlie Moss of San Francisco, CA, her son and daughter-in-law David and Katelyn Weaver and her granddaughter Clara Anne Gravelle Weaver of Seattle, WA, and her stepmother Bobbie Mitchell Ferguson of Palm Desert, CA. We invite her friends to join us as we celebrate Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at Stanford Memorial Church on Monday, January 30, 2017 at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be sent to the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer help organization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sense of Security California, 2636 Judah Street #133, San Francisco, CA 94122. http://www. senseofsecurityus.org PAID

Frances and Charles Riley In Loving Memory

This past Spring our parents passed away 2 months apart. Our mother Frances L. Riley in March, then our father Charles W. Riley in May. They were married for 62 years. Our mother was born on June 20, 1929 to Mary and Everett Mann in New London, Connecticut. As the daughter of a U.S. Naval Officer she lived in a number of cities on both coasts of the U.S. She and Charles met through her brother Everett who was a classmate of Charles at the University of California, Los Angeles. Frances was a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara and was an artist and teacher. Among the places where Frances’ artwork has been displayed are Gallery House and the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, and at the Menlo Park Civic Center. Frances and Charles were married on January 2, 1954 at her parents’ house in Millbrae, California. Charles was born on September 16, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Erma and Charles W. Riley, Sr. His family lived in Washington state and California, primarily in San Francisco and Los Angeles. His father was a pilot who had flown with John A. MacReady in the 1920s and Charles developed an interest in flying early in his childhood. While in college he obtained his pilot’s license. Charles graduated from UCLA with an Engineering degree and had a career as an Aerospace Engineer. Charles had been a member of the Acacia fraternity at UCLA and was a lifetime member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. When Lockheed Missiles and Space Corporation moved to Sunnyvale Frances and Charles moved from Santa Monica to Palo Alto in 1956 with their one-year-old first son Charles. Soon after their arrival in Palo Alto their second son Robin was born. Their daughters Mary and Frances were born in 1958. In 1963 they moved their family to Menlo Oaks near Peninsula School where Frances spent most of her teaching career. They lived in Menlo Oaks for the next 53 years. They donated their bodies to the Stanford University Medical School. After retirement Frances and Charles got great joy from their grandchildren and great grandchildren. They enjoyed activities at Avenidas, a non-profit agency which helps Seniors stay active and independent. They are survived by their children Charles, Robin, Mary and Frances, and by their seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and Frances’ brother Robert Mann. PAID

A member of the Kronos Quartet performs, as seen by artist Trevor Paglen’s machine-vision software. So what exactly is “machine vision”? “A super-obvious example would be Optical Character Recognition,” with which computers are able to translate an image of printed text into machine-coded text, such as how red-light cameras read license plates, Paglen said. To Paglen, who’s worked extensively on the issue of privacy and mass surveillance, while the technology is wondrous, it’s also fairly ominous.

hen you snap a picture on your smartphone, you may look at it for a few moments, perhaps share it with friends via social media, then forget about it. But it hasn’t forgotten about you. Even when the image is not being seen by human eyes, the computer programs inside your phone are still looking — and analyzing its data — forever. For artist Trevor Paglen, who’s been named Cantor Arts Center’s new artist-in-residence, understanding how computers “see,” and the implications of that vision, has become a major topic of interest. He explores this issue with his multisensory project “The Sight Machine,” which will be exhibited at a Stanford University-presented event in San Francisco on Jan. 14. The Cantor-commissioned performance piece, which lets Trevor Paglen viewers “see” a music performance (in this case, a concert by the renowned Kronos Quartet) the way machines do, will launch Paglen’s collaboration with the Stanford arts center. The winter-spring residency will likely culminate with an exhibition at the Cantor in May. Paglen said he plans to further explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, visual and performance art, and ethics, and that Stanford, with its wealth of expertise, is the natural place to do it. He and Cantor’s Chief Curator and Associate Director Alison Gass have worked together before, and when Paglen asked Gass if she might be able to connect him to Stanford, she jumped at the chance. “It’s a really exciting opportunity to think differently about what contemporary art at Stanford could be,” Gass said. “Our residencies can take all kinds of different forms. It’s really kind of experimental.” “The overarching project is looking at how the advent of computer vision is changing our relationship to images,” Paglen said. At Stanford, he’ll lead a crossdisciplinary examination involving the university’s Artificial Intelligence Vision Labs and the Center for the Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, giving some lectures and leading a symposium on the topic along the way (including, on Feb. 8, giving the annual Wilsey Distinguished Lecture at Bing Concert Hall). Paglen will be “looking specifically at different ‘techniques in seeing’ used in computer vision,” he said, “but also looking at a kind of history of machine vision at Stanford.”

Cantor artist Trevor Paglen’s ‘Sight explores AI vision by Karla Kane “We’re probably living in a moment now where computers look at images more than people do. What does that mean for culture, for society?” he said. “Computers always have agendas when they look at things.” Facial-recognition technology allows Facebook to suggest “tagging” photos of friends, for instance, but it also does much more. “When you put an image on Facebook or other social media, you’re feeding an array of immensely powerful artificial intelligence systems information about how to identify people and how to recognize places and objects, habits and preferences, race, class, and gender identifications, economic statuses, and much more,” Paglen wrote in a recent article for The New Inquiry. Part of his work involves comparing and contrasting the differences between animal (specifically, human) vision and that of machines. “Computer vision is obviously very formal,” he told the Weekly. A machine “looks for edges and lines and draws conclusions about what it’s seeing from that. For example, computers are better than humans at recognizing faces, but they’re limited by the fact that they don’t understand history, context, human emotions. It’s dramatically different.” To illustrate that contrast, Paglen chose to involve something he sees as essentially human: music. Watching and listening to live classical musicians perform is “extremely emotional, extremely human,” Gass explained.

Page 16 • January 13, 2017 • Palo Alto Weekly • www.PaloAltoOnline.com

“To humans, music is a very effective form of communication. It immediately connects with you emotionally, it resonates; it’s not reducible to something that’s quantified,” Paglen said. Seeing such a quintessentially human experience through a machine’s eye, so to speak, “creates a really nice contrast that hopefully underlines that schism” between human and computer visual interpretation, he said. For the Jan. 14 performance, Paglen curated the planned one-hour program with the Kronos Quartet, which will include a variety of music styles, from classical to contemporary minimalist to African folk music and American blues. Multiple cameras will create a live feed of the performance, processed through different AI surMachine’ veillance algorithms, and the resulting images will be projected onto a screen above the quartet, giving audiences a look at how different computers might “see” the show. The performance will be held at historic Pier 70 in San Francisco’s Dogpatch district, a fitting setting for “The Sight Machine,” Gass said, due to the location’s rich history as a place where warships were once built. Its ties to the darker side of U.S. history connect nicely with Paglen’s interest in governmental surveillance and privacy issues. “It is a Stanford project, but Pier 70 felt like the right place to do this,” she explained, the gritty pier adding “an element of discomfort” that would be missing from a concert hall or auditorium on campus. Paglen, Glass and Stanford Center for Internet and Society Director of Civil Liberties Jennifer Granick will also present a panel discussion on AI and ethics earlier that day, at the FOG Design+Art fair, also in San Francisco. Paglen’s work has opened Gass’ eyes (no pun intended) to how prevalent AI vision has become in modern life. “Once you spend a little time talking to Trevor, you start to understand that machine vision is everywhere,” Gass said. “Our faces can be recognized very easily; the privacy we think we have isn’t really there.”n For more information, go to museum.stanford.edu/ news_room/Paglen.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS for the 38th Annual

All’s quiet on the Eastern front Martin Scorsese tests faith in ‘Silence’

MMM (Century 20 & Palo Alto Square)

From a young age, director Martin Scorsese was marked by Catholicism. It bubbles up in many of his films, most obviously in “The Last Temptation of Christ” and, now, “Silence.” Though he also made a film on Tibetan Buddhism (“Kundun”), Scorsese has been perhaps not so much a religious seeker as a seeker of the meaning of religion, its relative harms and usefulness. Like anyone who has paid attention to history, Scorsese has seen religion feed the soul and destroy souls, seen it abused terribly (by Spanish inquisitors, say), embraced sincerely for demonstrable good (by the likes of social justice true believer Dorothy Day), and everything in between. “Silence” engages in the contradictions of religion and of faith, and he has identified the source material, Japanese author Shūsaku Endō’s acclaimed 1966 novel, about “the painful, paradoxical passage ... from certainty to doubt to loneliness to communion.” This journey is undertaken by Sebastian Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield), one of two Portuguese Jesuit priests in 1633 who travel to Japan on an urgent mission (the other priest is played, in a keen tone of austere blinkeredness, by Adam Driver of “Paterson”). With reluctant allowance from their superior (Ciarán Hinds), the missionaries go in search of their mentor Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson), who appears to have renounced the Jesuit faith in Japan, where Christians have been persecuted and driven underground in fear of torture or death. What follows suggests a variation on Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness,” a dark journey with an even darker destination, fated to transform a naïve hero. It is, to be sure, slow going, with its run time of two hours and 41 minutes devoted to longeurs of fearful, tortured thought and bursts of physical torture. “Silence” feels heavy with the burden of martyrdom and the weight of that “painful, paradoxical” struggle between faith and doubt. But “Silence” also represents consummate filmmaking, with Scorsese surrounded by ace collaborators: his co-screenwriter Jay Cocks (“Gangs of New York,” “The Age of Innocence”), his loyal editor Thelma Schoonmaker (a three-time Oscar winner), cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), and regular designer Dante Ferretti (“Shutter Island”), among others. Though the acting is uniformly excellent, Scorsese has an ace in the hole, as

well: Issei Ogata as the sly, canny inquisitor who burrows through the Jesuits’ sense of certainty. “Silence” riffs on the roles of Jesus and Judas, the mystery of faith and the frailty of humanity (“Man’s nature,” as one character puts it, “cannot be moved”). It is a story of what Scorsese calls “the questioning faithful,” full of toils

and snares and competing notions of freedom as earthly or eternal. For those outside of the Catholic experience, “Silence” will not resonate so deeply but more likely test their patience even more than Scorsese intends (for “Silence” is a deliberately trying film). (continued on next page)

enough ambiguity — skewing to skepticism — to allow the outsider’s perspective on the arrogance of the European missionary, the cruelty of religious persecution, and, most disturbing to the

NEIGHBORHOOD SNAPSHOT

WATER-EFFICIENT PERMITS LAW... The City of Palo Alto Development Services Department has begun requiring an Outdoor Water Efficient Landscape Permit to be issued separately from building permits. The new requirement went into effect on Jan. 1. This new process will enforce the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) while streamlining the landscape submittal process. The permit allows building owners to complete critical activities associated with finalizing a building permit separate from the landscape work. To support the new permit process, the Development Services Outdoor Water Efficiency Compliance webpage contains several resources including the Outdoor Water Efficiency Landscape Trigger Permit Worksheet, MWELO Submittals and Guidelines, and a MWELO Compliance Video training. SAVE THE DATE ... The Gamble Garden Spring Tour dates are Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29. Look for more information and ticket sales closer to the date at gamblegardens.org. JAPANESE MAPLE CLASS ... The De Anza Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society will offer a program on pruning Japanese maples at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 18. The talk will be in Room 12 of the Hillview Community Center, 97 Hillview Ave., Los Altos. Arnie Cornez, a longtime volunteer at the Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga, will share his expertise on the selection, care, and pruning of maples. For additional information on the program, please go to www.deanza-ars.com. DREAMING OF REPLACING YOUR LAWN? ... Gamble Gardens might boost your plan with a class on Saturday, Feb. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The class, called “Replace Your Front Lawn with an Eye-Catching Garden,” will teach participants how to replace or shrink their front lawns with flowering and edible plants that provide seasonal interest and drought tolerance. After class, the course teacher, Kim Raftery, will offer a tour of two gardens she designed. Fees for the class are $25 for members of Gamble Gardens and $35 for nonmembers.

Hills

Palo Alto

Rural neighborhood a stone’s throw from Silicon Valley by Rachel Van Gelder | photos by Veronica Weber

he drive to Palo Alto Hills is unlike the drive home most Palo Alto residents experience. Winding rural roads with glimpses of rolling golden hills through the foliage and very few cars make for an enjoyable commute for residents of this neighborhood. and it’s easy to forget it’s only a stone’s throw from Silicon Valley. The Palo Alto Hills neighborhood is an oasis for those looking for a serene setting to live in. With large lots featuring sizable homes with breathtaking views of the Bay Area, it is an ideal place to get away. Palo Alto Hills residents moved to the neighborhood for many of the same reasons, to get away from the busy Silicon Valley life and relax in a place with friendly neighbors and spectacular views. Palo Alto Hills resident Mark

Nadim has lived in the neighborhood for 30 years and still says his favorite thing about his home is its natural, relaxing qualities. “It’s nice to have the fresh air and wildlife,” Nadim said. “It really makes it a serene place to live.” Other Palo Alto Hills residents like Jay Weber are very appreciative of the neighborhood’s tranquility. Weber was particularly taken by the laid-back, private atmosphere when he moved in seven years ago. “The partly rural feel of the neighborhood is nice. It is quiet, but not deathly quiet. It is quiet enough that you can take a deep breath and take it all in,” Weber said. “It is also a nice drive when you are coming back from work and driving through the trees. You feel like you’re going to a different space.” In order to have larger lot sizes,

residents must live further apart and do not see each other as frequently as they might if they lived in another Palo Alto neighborhood. For Weber this was a big adjustment for him and his wife when they moved from Menlo Park. While they do not see people as often as they did in their previous neighborhood, Weber says they do see a few neighbors when they go on walks or runs. There is still a strong sense of community in the neighborhood. “We do not always see our nextdoor neighbors,” Nadim said. “We may not be close by but I know that if I need help, it is only a phone call or an email away.” Within Palo Alto Hills, residents have easy access to a few activities including the Palo Alto Hills Golf Course and Country Club and Foothills Park. Access to Foothills Park is particularly exciting for Weber and his wife since they lived in Menlo Park prior to moving to Palo Alto Hills and the park only allows Palo Alto residents to visit. “Foothills Park is a real gem and a real plus to the neighborhood,” Weber said. “When we were looking at this house, we were Menlo Park residents so they wouldn’t let us into the park and we wanted to see it. We saw it on the map but we didn’t know what a gem it really was until we actually moved here.” While residents do have easy access to a variety of outdoor activities and live in a very peaceful, secluded place, simple things like going downtown or doing grocery shopping are more time-consuming than they are for most Palo Alto residents. Most attractions within Palo Alto and surrounding cities are at least a 20-minute drive away. Nadim says this can make it more difficult to stay connected to the Palo Alto community.

To maintain connections within the neighborhood, Nadim, who also happens to be the president of the neighborhood association, organizes an annual holiday party at the country club. The event brings neighbors together to celebrate the holidays as well as address neighborhood business. It is very popular among residents and is a favorite neighborhood event of Weber’s. Although it is more remote than any other neighborhood in Palo Alto, residents still find their location ideal because they are close to outdoor areas that most locals do not get to visit on a daily basis. “Every morning when I run up to Vista Hill, I get to see the whole Bay Area laid out in front of me,” Weber said. “I get that same view three times a week but that is still the highlight of living here for me.”n

IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial C ode and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Burnham Pavilion as Maples was When Dunning announced his being refurbished.

The Huskies were clearly the dominant team and the second set was absolutely devastating. The Cardinal looked as though they were ready to pack it in and give up on the season. Ogonna Nnamani, Stanford’s all-time kills leader, had eight kills after two sets and reporters were scrambling to find out if she’d ever been held to single digits. Dunning was furious. He went into the intermission with a face that could have melted the Ford Center. Ten minutes later a different team took the court. Stanford never led nor trailed by more than three points in the third set. The Cardinal trailed, 24-21, before Nnamani recorded five kills and Leahi Hall’s service ace gave Stanford the win. Washington led, 25-19, at one point in the fourth set. Bryn Kehoe served five straight points and the Cardinal tied the match. The Huskies were on the verge of victory at 29-26, but Stanford never packed it in. The Huskies still held the advantage at 32-31 but kills from Nnamani, Kristin Richards and Kehoe evened the match. Imagine how much emotion and energy had been spent by both sides. There was no way they could keep this up through another set. But they did. Once again Washington was on the verge of winning at 14-11. And once again Stanford rallied to take a 15-14 advantage. A service error gave the Cardinal a 19-18 edge when Jennifer Hucke stepped up and served herself into Stanford folklore. Hucke looked dazed as she slumped to the floor following her ace. In a matter of moments she was surrounded by happy teammates. Even the student radio crew abandoned their stations
