Housing developer Toll Brothers clashed with the City Council and neigh-

bors once more on Tuesday night, but this time it was over whether the developer should be required to build a tunnel under Central Expressway as part of its 450-unit development at 100 Mayfield Ave. The $6 million tunnel eventu-

ally got unanimous support on the council, though it seemed the issue would deadlock 3-3 with member Ronit Bryant absent. Member Nick Galiotto and Mayor Tom Means were not in support at first, and member Matt Pear was the surprise swing vote. It is hoped the tunnel will provide safe crossing to the San Antonio train station for the Monta Loma and Mayfield neighborhoods, as 1,000 residents are expected to inhabit the new Mayfield homes. Supporters said it would encourage walking and bicycling to San Anto-nio Center and make the housing project qualify as “smart growth.” A $150,000 feasibility study showed that the tunnel was “physi-cally and technically” feasible. But not everyone at Tuesday night’s meeting thought it was a great idea. “Cost should have been a critical piece of criteria,” said Jo Price of Toll Brothers, which is being asked to pay for the tunnel. She added that the tunnel would not be built “in a reasonable amount of time.” Council member Jac Siegel said $6 million was a small price to pay for a housing development worth over $300 million when finished. “What’s a life worth?” Sie-gel asked, commenting on the safety of the current Central Expressway crosswalk. Records going back to 1986 show one fatality has occurred at the crosswalk, in 2001, said traffic engineer Mike Vroman. “I witnessed the 2001 fatality,” said Monta Loma resident Elna Tymes. A car coming down the on-ramp from San Antonio onto Central hit a man on a bicycle.

Seniors savor the moment HUNDREDS GRADUATE FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW, LOS ALTOS HIGH SCHOOLS

By Casey Weiss

On stage in their blue caps and gowns, just min-utes away from receiv-

ing their diplomas, the Los Altos High School Class of 2008 followed two student speakers Friday in a graduation rap. Jumping up from the bleach-ers, the 374 students cheered, “Here we are today / the senior class of L.A. / We are so proud to say / this is our graduation day.” At the same time Friday, the Mountain View High School Class of 2008 also had its graduation ceremony, wishing congratulations and farewell to 373 seniors with student speeches and parting words from Principal Keith Moody. Principals and a handful of students spoke at each cer-emony, offering last words of advice before they received their diplomas and turned their tassels. The ceremonies also

included performances from the schools’ music departments, and students received awards for their academic achievement and community service. Following the ceremonies, the

majority of students from both schools attended separate post-graduation events organized by the parents. Mountain View

Clearer cut

By Don Frances

VALUED READER Julie Lovins wrote me last week regarding the front page

headline “Clear cut wins,” which ran atop two separate stories on the results of the June 3 election. “I spent several minutes this eve-ning puzzling over the lead head-line,” she wrote, “wondering what on earth I had missed on the ballot that promoted deforestation.” This is already great, but better still, Julie’s concern led to what could be the first-ever street poll on a Voice headline. “I was walking around Thurs-day Night Live at the time, and surveyed a number of my friends and neighbors. Some people never did figure out what was intended. Some immediately saw the need for a hyphen. One sug-gested that the word ‘Decisive’ would have been much more, uh, clear-cut, as well as meeting the space requirements.” Perhaps, but who is this Deci-sive, and was he running in the Assembly race?

“I’M DELIGHTED to announce that KMVT Community Televi-sion’s video, ‘What’s Inside Me ...’ was named the 2008 winner for the Best Educational Profile Documentary by the Alliance for Community Media.” This is from Brian Szabo, the station’s energetic executive direc-tor, who added that “The 8-minute video was produced in 2007 by KMVT Productions for the Com-munity School of Music and Arts.”

THE CITY’S Rotarians have their own good news to announce, after awarding more than $13,000 to local nonprofits through their annual Community Grants pro-gram. According to Alicia Crank, the recipients are: CHAC, Friends of Deer Hollow Farm, JustRead, PAL, YES Reading, CSA, Leader-ship Mountain View, CSMA, Soap Box Derby, Partners for New Generations and E-Soccer.

Residents dream of 2030

CITY BEGINS GATHERING COMMENTS FOR GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

By Daniel DeBolt

According to the more than 200 people who took time Saturday morning to share

their vision for Mountain View in 2030, they want a city with adequate open space, affordable housing, busy, happy youth and a small carbon footprint. The crowd at the Center for the Performing Arts included a group of Spanish speakers and a handful of teens, but most were adults over 30, such as Godfrey Baumgartner, who has been a resident since 1931. Mayor Tom Means had people raise their hands in an exercise to see who had been around the longest. After a brief talk from the mayor about the history of Mountain View and its incor-poration in 1902, the discussion was taken over by MIG, a Berke-ley-based nonprofit leading the

city’s outreach efforts to update the general plan. The general plan is a detailed blueprint for the city, used by city councils and developers to guide deci-sions on land use. Work started with a slideshow survey of “housing prototypes.” Residents were asked to follow along and check off their imme-diate reaction to each one on a sheet of paper. (The same sur-vey can be taken on the Web at www.mountainview2030.com.) The large group then filed into City Hall and divided into sub-groups. Using butcher paper, the groups recorded their ideas for the city: their common values, concerns and visions. Then they reassembled back at the perform-ing arts center and went over the results. Common themes were affordable housing, economic

Google plan could be a windfall for

city, schoolsBy Daniel DeBolt

Despite its location on Moffett Field, the 42 acres recently leased

by Google is within the juris-diction of Mountain View, city manager Kevin Duggan said Monday. Last week, Google and NASA Ames announced their new agreement: a 40-year lease, at more than $3.6 million a year, giving Google the right to build on the undeveloped, federally owned land. But that land also falls within city lim-its, Duggan said, and the tax revenue generated there will be shared with the city, local schools and the county. The unusual arrangement makes for unusual taxation rules. But according to finance manager Bob Locke, Moun-

tain View will receive 18 to 20 percent of the property taxes Google pays for the site — a windfall of hundreds of thou-sands of dollars a year, and possibly more, as the company develops more than one mil-lion square feet of office space as well as housing and other amenities for its workers. The first phase of construction is set to begin no later than 2013. Local schools would receive even more, because schools receive about 45 percent of the tax windfall, according to the county assessor’s office. In return, the city has been asked to provide police, water and sewer services, Duggan said, and schools will have to absorb additional students who live on the property.

GROOVY:Wearing tie dyed T-shirts they made themselves during a Monday tie dye party, the entire class of first graders at Monta Loma Elementary School line up in front of the school’s new handball court. The students showed off their colorful shirts for other students, teachers and administrators during the last assembly of the school year.

Coroner IDs man killed by train SURGE IN RIDERSHIP ADDS TO CONFUSION WHEN THINGS GO WRONGBy Daniel DeBolt

The County coroner’s office has identified the man who reportedly jumped in

front of a moving train last Fri-day — near the San Antonio sta-tion at the height of the evening commute — as David Unguran, 42, of San Carlos. Caltrain reports that Unguran was seen jumping from nearby bushes just north of the station platform at 4:20 p.m. The coro-ner had yet to officially declare his death a suicide. The incident caused delays of up to two hours during rush hour as trains were forced to single-track

through the area at slow speeds. Incidents like these are now exacerbated as the commuter rail’s ridership hits an all-time high. According to the agency, 39,936 tickets were sold in April, up 13 percent from April of last year and up 3,000 from a Febru-ary record. “We believe we’re seeing a surge in ridership due to the high cost of gasoline,” said Caltrain spokes-person Christine Dunn. More riders can lead to more confusion when something goes wrong. On Friday afternoon, more than 200 riders waited at the Castro Street station for the northbound 4:58 and 5:05

trains. When a northbound train arrived late, on what is usually the southbound track, riders rushed across the tracks, despite the “no crossing” signal, in order to claim a seat. Later that evening, at least one southbound train, with over 600 seats, was overflowing with pas-sengers. Some riders at various mid-Peninsula stations, unable to even board the packed trains, were left behind. Riders on Friday may have gotten a glimpse of the near future, as gas prices continue to rise. Even on a normal day, some rush hour trains are now stand-ing room only, riders say. V

Students find platform on world politics

GROUP OF SIX FROM LOS ALTOS HIGH TALK FOOD POLICY WITH REP. ESHOO’S AIDES

By Casey Weiss

Tired of just talking about the world’s problems in their classes, six Los Altos

High School students are push-ing Rep. Anna Eshoo to intro-duce new farm legislation which they hope will better address the world’s food crisis. After learning about food riots in developing countries, the students met with the congress-woman’s staff recently to discuss ways to curb skyrocketing food prices. They are particularly con-cerned about the increased use of ethanol and petroleum, which they said “only fuel the world’s population towards poverty.” The students said the meeting is just the beginning of their push for better global policies. “I am tired of hearing all the sad things,” said junior Sepeed Emambakhsh. “I wanted to know what we can do.” The group decided to meet with Eshoo after hearing from their American history teacher, Seth Donnelly, about his recent travels to Haiti, where people were rioting after food prices became unaffordable. The six students — Emambakhsh, Hediyeh Shak-eri, Molly Junkins, Emily Hoff, Claire Bedard and Jared Jacks — approached him after class, and began drafting a letter. “It is inspiring when you see students on their own accord take on an issue like hunger and food policy,” Donnelly said. Originally, the U.S. push to produce more ethanol was billed as benefiting the environment and promoting energy independence. But these students say that by making biofuels from corn, the government-sponsored programs are taking away land and corn

which could otherwise go toward food production. Concurrently, higher fuel and production costs are increasing the price of commodi-ties, leaving millions without food. The students want Eshoo to introduce legislation to promote subsidies for local agriculture. Buying local food, they say, would decrease gas and food prices. Selling “locally produced food in the Third World and the U.S. at affordable prices is not only possible — with smart subsidies — but imperative if we are to avoid a hunger holocaust in the near future,” the students wrote in their letter to Eshoo. Eshoo was not able to meet with the students, but wrote them a letter in response, agree-ing that the U.S. needs “sounder economic policies.” While she supports biofeuls, she does not think they should be made from existing crops. “I voted on the recent farm bill to decrease tax credits to blenders who combine ethanol with gaso-line from 51 cents to 45 cents per gallon,” Eshoo wrote. “Although significant, these reductions did not go nearly far enough in my view, and I will continue to work for bet-ter fuel and energy policies.” Sitting in portable classrooms at Los Altos High School, the juniors said they are hopeful after meeting with the congresswoman’s staff. They said the meeting left them confident that they can play a role in politics and forming policy. “Before I thought the govern-ment was untouchable,” Emam-bakhsh said. “I was surprised how they were openly listening to people our age,” Shakeri added.

“He flew up in the air and fell down in a way that nobody sur-vives,” Tymes said. Price argued that not only was the cost “exorbitant” but that residents would be more likely to use the crosswalk. She also said the tunnel could stand in the way of plans to widen the train tracks for high speed rail, an argument that didn’t hold water with the council’s current transit expert, Vice Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga. Even tunnel supporters had concerns about crime in the tunnel, especially at night. But with little car traffic at night, said Monta Loma resident Nola Mae McBain, she felt safe using the crosswalk instead. Council member Laura Macias had city staff show a TV news report on a tunnel in Phoenix, Ariz. that was built after a young woman was killed on a crosswalk in 2004. The tunnel was built with fine artistic detail, and foot-age showed residents walking back and forth enthusiastically during its opening. Council member Galiotto, a former police officer, was look-ing at a police report on two men mugged in the Palo Alto train

station tunnel. “I have to say this has been a difficult issue for me to reach a decision on,” he said. “If someone was assaulted in the tunnel we would certainly feel as badly as we would after a traffic accident.” Pear, who is often on the side of housing developers, surprised many by saying he supported the tunnel. As a cyclist who uses the crossing himself, he said the ramp that sends cars onto the expressway from San Antonio Road was “a significant issue.” But he did add that he had con-cerns about the tunnel’s cost. The council eventually approved the tunnel as part of the subdivision map for the project. The tunnel will be 20 feet wide and 125 feet long, with glass brick providing light in the median along with full electric lighting. The council chose the smaller of two designs for an entrance on the Mayfield side, even though it provides less vis-ibility into the tunnel. “If the tunnel is not built, it’s the responsibility of the council to re-look at this whole develop-ment,” Siegel said. “If we don’t build this tunnel now it will be an opportunity lost forever.” V

LIBRARY GETS HELP WITH FUNDING GAP The city library was $18,000 richer last Monday after the council decided to up spend-ing on books, periodicals, DVDs and CDs. For several years, library trustee Randall Stock has been studying a disparity in Mountain View’s spending on library materials compared to Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Red-wood City and Pleasanton. “It turns out Mountain View had been spending consider-ably les per capita than those communities,” Stock said. But whether the library has the staff to buy the new mate-rials “is an ongoing concern,” Stock said, adding that com-

pared to the other cities, the Mountain View library spends 13 percent less per capita on library staff. “It would be nice if we could afford more staffing,” Stock said. “But right now we have a good service level.”

SENIOR TASK FORCE PICKS GOALS The city’s first-ever senior advisory task force has gotten though a list of 80 possible goals for the year, and picked three. Chair Elna Tymes said the group will study transporta-tion needs for seniors, conduct outreach to make sure seniors know about a long list of programs the group will com-pile, and conduct a survey of

seniors on their general needs and desires. Transportation needs are a priority, Tymes said, because the expanding senior popu-lation will face a time when they can no longer drive, even as they chose to stay in their suburban homes. VTA’s program for door-to-door senior transportation is not as dependable as a neighborhood shuttle system could be, Tymes said. Such a service could take seniors to the hospital or gro-cery store, for example. This year the task force will prepare a report for the coun-cil on the state of seniors in Mountain View.

issues affecting both governing bodies: substance abuse among teens, parking and transporta-tion, mobile food vendors and transparency in governance. Some council members had concerns about transparency after trustees had shown reluc-tance to televise the joint meet-ing. Although the Los Altos council broadcasts all its meet-ings, the school board does not. The issue, which had caused tensions leading up to Monday’s meeting, erupted after council member David Casas suddenly announced plans for a pilot program, sponsored by his own employer, Johnson & Johnson, to broadcast 10 school board meet-ings on the local community television channel, KMVT. The tapings “will set the opportu-nity for the public to decide if there is a need,” Casas said. “What is

good about [the tapings] is they are going to trigger some dialogue.” The announcement surprised everyone, and touched off an angry exchange between Casas and the trustees — and disavowals from his fellow council members. “This is news to all of us as well,” Mayor Val Carpenter said on behalf of the council. Casas said no official plans had been made, but that the 10 tap-ings — free to the school district — would allow KMVT to pursue more community relationships, while serving as a model for other high school districts. He acknowledged that other council members were not involved in planning the pilot program. Still, school board members thought the announcement was tactless at best. “Why wouldn’t you come to a board meeting, where normal people would do this,” trustee Susan Sweeley said. “It is weird.” “Why pick us,” wondered school board president Judy Hannemann. Casas said he started looking into the idea after a meeting with Hannemann and trustee Phil Fail-lace. At that meeting, Faillace said he would be interested in learning more about the pilot program if a private sponsor could be found. It will cost an estimated $9,660 for KMVT to tape 10 programs. Both groups eventually agreed to continue the discussion at the next district board meeting on Monday, June 23.

Mobile food vendors In a less heated discussion Mon-day night, the council decided not to pass an ordinance prohibiting street vendors from selling food around Los Altos High School, despite a push for the ordinance by the school district. The district had in mind one vendor in particular, who drives her mobile food truck to the perimeter of Los Altos High School to sell burgers, fries, sodas and other “non-conforming” foods. Without the ordinance, she will be allowed to continue visiting the school, which district officials see as problematic. New state regulations say such non-conforming foods must be sold “off of and away from school premises.” Local educators say the district could lose funding for its free and reduced-price lunches if the school does not comply with this rule. “We have to be supportive of the intent of the law,” trustee Joe Mitchner said. “To look the other way seems disingenuous.” “Right now we are not con-forming to the law, and they do audit,” Hannemann said. In Mountain View, the City Council passed an ordinance pro-hibiting vendors from approach-

If your brake pedal feels spongy, it is likely that there is air in the hydraulic system. It is the elasticity of the air that creates the mushy feel of the brake pedal. To remove the air, the system must be bled. Air usually enters the system either via a leak somewhere along the brake system’s hydraulic lines, or if the fluid level in the braking reservoir has been allowed to drop beyond the minimum level. The usual culprits are a flexible fluid line that breaks, worn seals in the master cylinder, or a braking caliper that may have allowed air to seep past. After locating and repairing the leak, new brake fluid must be introduced into the system.

Have your car, truck or SUV’s brake system inspected regularly. At Larry's AutoWorks, we know preventative maintenance is the best course of action to follow to ensure that your hydraulic system works properly. We are located at 101 Freeway on Leghorn between San Antonio and Rengstorff in Mountain View. Take the Rengstoff exit south, then right on Leghorn.

and cultural diversity, positive activities for youth, open space, good public transportation and environmental sustainability. The need for a new downtown grocery store was mentioned, as several groups talked about mak-ing neighborhoods more “walk-able.” One group reported that the driving force behind their discus-sion was a woman who wanted to be able to live in Mountain View “and not have a car.” Two groups mentioned the need for residents to start driv-ing electric cars to reduce the city’s carbon footprint. Others said they valued the city’s transit center, and one group wanted a shuttle to concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Another group mentioned the need for a trail on the Hetch Hetchy right of way. Many seemed to value the “general charm of the city” and its “small town feel,” and wanted neighborhoods where people “care for one another.” “We want to preserve our fis-cally strong and open city gov-ernment,” one resident said in a group report. “We like it and we want to keep it.” A spokesperson for the Span-ish-speaking group said much of their discussion was about a new community center at Rengstorff Park that would concentrate on youth activities. But the group also talked about the need for affordable apartment living, child care, playing fields, legal support and job training. One group said it wanted to revamp San Antonio Center into an affordable version of Santana Row, a high-density outdoor mall in San Jose that includes luxury homes. The issue of Mountain View having more jobs than homes, causing many to commute, was a concern for one group. “We all agreed there was a prob-

lem with the jobs-housing imbal-ance,” said the group’s presenter. The state’s tax structure, he said, encourages industrial development but doesn’t reward cities enough for building needed housing. He said he convinced his group to vote on whether the city should slow industrial development so enough housing could catch up. The group voted 7-3 in favor of slowing indus-trial development. At the end of the meeting, Means reminded everyone that despite all the great ideas, there is only so much money in the city budget. In the lobby, comments from groups taken in the weeks before the meeting were posted. One notable prediction for 2030 came from Miss Ha’s third grade class at Huff Elementary School, which said that “things from space will live here.” V

ing Mountain View High School. Although the state law speci-fies the food cannot be sold near campus, it does not clarify how far away vendors must be. Los Altos council members said they didn’t want to pass an ordinance without knowing specifics. “Until we have further informa-tion, it is not clear to me,” Mayor Pro Tem Megan Satterlee said. Council members and a public speaker also worried that the ordinance could discriminate against students who cannot afford cars or leave campus to buy lunch. V

Summer in-Class Schedule

students went to Club Sport in Fremont, while the new Los Altos alumni celebrated at the Coconut Groove in Santa Cruz. At Los Altos High, Principal Wynne Satterwhite honored the students for their “courage to respect and embrace each idea” — particularly new programs and classes such as forensics and Mandarin Chinese. She concluded by saying the school would never forget the students. For her, the Class of 2008 is particularly special since they became freshmen the year she started as principal.

“We will miss them as they go off, but know the world is in good hands,” Satterwhite said. The idea of community was a common theme throughout the ceremony. In her gradua-tion speech, Ting Ting Liu said her time at Los Altos had helped her and her peers build an iden-tity, but she was excited for the opportunity to “explore the world beyond the identities we have built for ourselves.” Although her class may be ready to leave, she told students they should not “forget how the school has prepared us.” “Each and every one of us has found someone who has something we can carry with us.” she said.

Farewell, Teacher NancySTUDENTS, PARENTS CELEBRATE RETIRING TEACHER NANCY BROWN

By Casey Weiss

Hundreds of parents and students celebrated “Teacher Nancy” dur-

ing a retirement party recently, honoring her for her nearly 30 years of “wisdom” and service to the community. Nancy Brown is retiring this summer after 28 years of running parent observation classes for 2- and 3-year-olds at MVLA’s Adult School. Dur-ing the classes, parents can observe the temperament and personality of their children as the toddlers play in a specially designed classroom. While the children continue to play, parents attend a lecture and discuss parenting techniques. “The parents bond very close-ly,” Brown said. “They are shar-ing a lot of new challenges.” Parents and past students, some of them home from col-

lege, held a retirement party for Brown at Bubb Elementary School on May 15. Brown, who is teaching summer school until the end of June, said she is going to spend extra time with her four grandchildren and travel with her husband during her retirement. As for seeing former students, “You always wonder what will happen to them in the future,” Brown said. “It is always nice to see your students.” During her time with the program, which is part of the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District, Brown worked with more than 1,000 families. Parents register through the Adult School, and attend classes behind the MVLA district office. Brown helped design the program along with Joan Somers, who retired nine years ago. “Teacher Nancy is one of our

community’s greatest trea-sures,” parent Lynn Fletcher said. “Nancy is someone I con-tinue to seek out when I need a fresh perspective on things going on in my teens’ lives.” “She is an ongoing inspira-tion to me, and I know I speak for others when I say we are truly blessed to have her in our lives,” she added. Diane Hart, who attended the parent observation class with her twins, will continue to run the program when Brown retires. Brown said she has “enjoyed every day” of the program. “I think it is important to leave teaching when you love it,” said Brown. “Thank you to all the parents and children who have given me 28 fun years.” V


Schools pick their top profsKEREN ROBERTSON, ALECIA FALK NAMED TEACHERS OF THE YEAR

By Casey Weiss

Two local teachers, Keren Robertson of Los Altos High School and Alecia

Falk of Huff Elementary, have been named teachers of the year by their respective school districts. Both will be honored later in the summer for their leadership and commitment to the community. The high school district named Robertson for her work as English department chair and for her leadership role at Los

Altos High. Robertson teaches advanced placement classes, works with the literacy program and has been a department chair for the last three years. In addition to teaching, Rob-ertson helped develop an advi-sory program for ninth graders and participated in the school’s most recent accreditation pro-cess, according to Principal Wynne Satterwhite. In the Mountain View Whis-man school district, a com-mittee of union members and administrators chose Falk, a

fifth grade teacher at Huff Ele-mentary School, to be teacher of the year. The committee selected Falk because she con-tinues to pursue her personal education through classes and courses, teaches in an interest-ing way, and is a “champion for youth.” The district also noted Falk’s creative teaching style and professionalism. Both teachers will be honored during an event sponsored by the Santa Clara Office of Educa-tion in September. V

Assistant county tax assessor Mary Solseng and spokesman David Ginsborg confirmed the company’s tax responsibility, dis-missing concerns by some city officials that Google could get exemptions for acting as a govern-ment contractor on the site. “The bottom line is they are going to be paying taxes like everybody else,” Ginsborg said. Mountain View has no control over construction at the site,

located in the northwest corner of Moffett Field, Duggan said. Fire services likely will come from the NASA Ames fire department. Because Google’s lease exceeds 35 years, the company will also be taxed for the land as if it had pur-chased it, Solseng said. Google will pay NASA more than $144 million during the 40-year lease term. Google’s new Moffett site is just a few hundred yards from an exist-ing Google campus on Crittenden Lane and a few blocks from its “Googleplex” headquarters, but Stevens Creek stands in the way of easy access for Google employees. Without a new access point, Google’s new employees may have to drive onto Highway 101 and go through Moffett’s main gate, Duggan pointed out. “We will discuss direct access to Google’s facilities, with a bridge connecting the properties, when that project proceeds and NASA or Google engages us,” Duggan said. But this increased access to Moffett Field by Google employ-ees bothers many Army person-nel stationed at Moffett, accord-ing to one longtime officer there who requested that his name be withheld. “The whole idea is kind of concerning to a lot of the soldiers I’ve talked to,” he said. “Someone should probably be thinking about this at a senior level” in the federal government, he said. “But it’s sort of a hot potato.” Based on a ratio of 300 square feet per employee, Google’s planned 1.2 million square foot campus could mean 4,000 private workers at Moffett. The proposed bridge or bridges over Stevens Creek could compromise access to Moffett as well. Unless fences line the perimeter of the campus, Google employees will be working within yards of the Moffett run-way, Air National Guard facilities and a new Army training center and reserve command post set to break ground this year. “Based on what I’ve seen Google stand for, they may not have a positive feeling for a military group,” the officer added.

Another acquisition Google’s presence in the Shore-line District got a separate boost recently when the company leased the 450,000-square-foot campus recently vacated by Alza Corp. With this last acquisition, which sits adjacent to the Googleplex, the company has now leased the entire block around its headquarters. As part of the deal with the land-owners, Google has purchased an estimated nine acres of vacant land across the street, which spreads east from the northeast corner of the intersection at Charleston Road and Amphitheatre Parkway. The city’s development review committee recommended plans for a tempo-rary soccer field on the site. V

‘AFFORDABLE HOUSING’ BAD FOR QUALITY OF LIFEEditor: My wife and I moved to Moun-tain View 40 years ago because of the quality of life. Now, after making mortgage payments for 30 years, our home, our largest asset, is being threatened. Advocates of “more affordable housing” want to turn Mountain View into a place of multi-family tenements. If I wanted to live in a slum, I would move there. Instead I chose to live in Mountain View. I say if affordable housing supporters want to live in a high-density slum, so be it. However, don’t turn Mountain View into a slum.

SAVE THE HERITAGE TREE ON HANS AVE. Editor: At the meeting on the general plan last Saturday, I was delighted that we were talking about sustain-ability and developing a “green plan” for the future. But what we do today impacts the future. I feel the city is missing an opportunity right under our noses. I refer to a huge, healthy Chinese elm tree on the 300 block of Hans Avenue. It is a landmark heritage tree and it was approved to be removed because the landowner finds it too costly to trim, an impediment to her sewer pipe, too

large for her lot and worrisome for her neighbors. On the latter point, I checked with the neighbors on both sides and they had not noticed the sign posted on the tree indicating the removal process had begun, and they did not seem interested either way. The posting is hard to notice, and you have to walk through ground cover to get to the small paper on this huge tree. A tree this large creates a big “sponge” for carbon absorption. The city forestry committee at first denied the application for removal, but the homeowner appealed, and it was decided in her favor. If it is removed, I think it is a travesty.

A VISION OF SHOPPING NEAR WHISMAN STATIONEditor: I was unable to attend the community-visioning meeting last Saturday, but I did attend a smaller “pre-meeting” in my neighbor-hood a few days before. What I learned is that I am not alone in feeling like an island here in the Whisman Station neighborhood. Our closest shopping outlet, at Grant Road and El Camino Real, is accessible only by car, and there are no plans to build any retail into our ever-expanding neighborhood. The idea of community vision-

Despite $4 a gallon gas and a slowing economy, Mountain View voters defied conventional wisdom last week and voted to tax themselves at a higher rate

It was a heartwarming Tuesday evening for Mountain View Whisman school officials and the many parents who worked endless hours to make sure the critical tax adjustment did not lose its way. In the end, voters approved Measure C by 79.8 percent, far more than the 66.67 percent required by the state. The renewal and increase in the tax, from $76 to $127 a year (for owners of smaller parcels) starting with the 2009-10 school year, was viewed as a critical piece in next year’s spending plan for the school district. This year’s budget, especially, is a moving target until the governor and Legislature decide how they intend to resolve the woefully underfunded state budget, which is expected to make significant cuts to local school funding. Although it is impossible for the district to know how much it will lose next year, estimates start at around $400,000. Local voters also helped elect Paul Fong to the District 22 state Assembly seat being vacated by Sally Lieber, the former Mountain View mayor who is termed out. Fong has served on the Foothill-De Anza college district board for 15 years, and is a longtime activist in the Democratic Party. He edged out San-ta Clara council member Dominic Caserta 35.6 percent to 29.9 percent. Two other candidates, South Bay politicians Anna Song and Kris Wang, each finished with less than 20 percent of the vote. But it was the Measure C parcel tax that captured the imagination on June 3, as school officials and tax supporters gathered to watch the returns at the Tied House in Mountain View. Superintendent Maurice Ghysels put the yes-or-no choice in perspective: “In tough times, people have to differentiate between a want and a need,” he said. “We need to have quality schools. Our kids are our future.” School board member Gloria Higgins, who was also a Measure C volunteer, said in an e-mail to supporters after the election: “This result is far beyond what I could have imagined. It was just a crazy, hectic, wonderful day.” This weekend, Ghysels and Bruce Barsi, board president of the Community Health Awareness Council, intend to emphasize their displeasure with the state budget by riding their bicycles to Sacramento and attempting to deliver a let-ter directly to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The two plan to leave Mountain View on Saturday, June 14 and complete the ride in one day. We hope they get the governor’s attention.

Schools the big winner in last week’s vote

Moldaw Family Residences

Is The Perfect Fit!

“My internal map of reality tells me constantly that the best is yet to come.” -Lily Anne Hillis

ing is laudable, but I think it should be a goal of the city’s to have basic shopping within everyone’s walk-ing distance, like the bodegas and green grocers that are on every cor-ner in places like New York City. All the visioning in the world is for naught if we can’t easily step out for organic milk, a good loaf of bread, free-range eggs and bananas. We need to think green on the most basic of tasks.

THANKS FOR STORY ON BMW STRIKEEditor: I am one of the shop foremen at the BMW dealership. I just want to thank you for your support and for the nice piece in the Voice last week (“Workers go on strike at BMW dealership”). The union members really appreciate all of the kind words. This will be a very tough fight for us. You would not believe how many unhappy Auto Nation employees are cheering us on. If you have any interest, you can check out the Web site www.destroyautonation.com. It gives a snapshot of the kind of company we are dealing with.

NEW OPTION FOR GIRLS SOFTBALL PLAYERSEditor: As many Voice readers know, I am a longstanding supporter and member of the youth sports com-munity in Mountain View. Most recently I have become involved with the girls’ fast pitch softball organizations in our com-munity. I recently realized there was a need for more opportunities for our girls to play beyond the normal recreational league. We need a place for girls who want to play in a more competitive environment and get more detailed coaching for the next level of the sport. I have joined Jim and Joann Porter to help expand their recently formed Mountain View Mayhem softball organization, which is focused on developing girls from Mountain View and Los Altos to become better softball players. We are now offering roster spots for 14- to 16-year-olds on our sum-mer and fall team. Girls in this age group who would like to play softball this summer should con-tact Mountain View Mayhem on the Web at www.mvmayhem.com, e-mail [email protected], or call (650) 776-8407.

By Dale F. Bentson

Jennifer Ng is a natural. She was born into a family of restaurateurs in Vietnam.

Later, she migrated to Thailand and absorbed the nuances of that cuisine before coming to California. She has siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles still in the restaurant business. “I had a lot of family support and confidence before starting out,” she said. Her first venture is Mint Leaf Asian Noodle House, which she operated for three years on Mid-dlefield Road. Last November, Mint Leaf relocated to University Avenue, adjacent to the Borders

bookstore. It is the site of the long-lived Palermo and short-lived Chicken Ranch. The space is open and airy with photographs lining the mustard powder-colored walls, as well as bistro-styled rattan chairs and aluminum-topped tables and a large skylight overhead. A long burgundy banquette lines one wall and tables are not too jammed together, allowing con-versation at sane levels. It is Jennifer Ng’s menu and she employs two chefs in the kitchen, one Vietnamese, the other Thai, to execute her dishes. The kitchen turns out nearly 60 plates of food. Overall, the quality is very good, the food is fresh and sauces are

not overloaded with dubious ingredients. I had issues with ser-vice but I’ll get to those later. For appetizers, I thought the chicken pot stickers ($7.95) as good as any I have had in the area. They were smaller than the usual pork-filled dumplings usually encountered and were crisp and fresh-tasting, particu-larly good with the house-made vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was essentially shallot oil with deli-cate, yet expressive flavors, and ideal for this cuisine. Almost as good were the crispy vegetarian rolls ($6.95), packed with taro root, mushrooms, jica-

These tofu pieces had been deep-fried, served with tamarind sauce and topped with ground peanuts. They reminded me of toasted marshmallows without the sweetness and were blazing hot when delivered to the table. It was several minutes before I

dared biting into one. They were light and delicate. The refreshing papaya salad ($8.95) had thinly sliced green papaya, mango and carrots dressed in a light vinaigrette. The salad was mostly carrots, though, and the mango was barely detect-able. Some really awful-looking sliced tomatoes sat at the base of the shredded produce. For main courses, I particu-larly liked the beef massaman curry ($11.95). Chunks of tender beef, potatoes, onions and pea-nuts had simmered in massa-

man curry paste, coconut milk and peanut sauce. Massaman curry is a Thai dish believed to be of Muslim origin. At Mint Leaf, the massaman curry was aromatic and spicy but not overly so. Each bite kept me guessing what new spice, what new discovery I would make. It was a hearty dish and I was glad I ordered a side of jasmine steamed rice ($1.50) to sop up all the delicious sauce. Shaking beef ($14.95) was the prettiest of the plates. Wok-seared beef cubes with garlic, onion and black pepper were heaped over a generous pile of crispy fresh greens and tossed in a light vinaigrette. It was a healthy plate as well, the greens and beef not necessarily in pro-portion to one another. The flavors of the Thai basil chicken ($9.95) were missing in action. The rather skimpy por-tion with fresh lemongrass in special house sauce needed some spicy oomph to give it life. Even with a bowl of rice, I left the din-ner table unsatisfied. Thai spicy prawns ($14.95) consisted of 10 fat, fried prawns with straw mushrooms and onions in spicy garlic sauce. The heat was just enough to keep the dish interesting. The prawns were unpeeled, which made for a messy chore before I could enjoy them. I am not a fan of food I have to use my fingers to get at. I am fearful of slopping on myself, or worse, someone nearby. Despite my grumble, the dish was tasty and, again, the side of rice was important to soak up the perfumed sauce. I ordered iced tea ($2) on each of my visits, but Mint Leaf never had any. All they had was Thai tea ($2.75), a tea sweetened with sugar and condensed milk. I tried one but think it must be an acquired taste. Service was often ambiguous at Mint Leaf. Entrees often showed up before appetizers and one day I was asked twice if I was ready to order even though I hadn’t yet quite sat down at the table. Sometimes, service glitches can drive customers away. I hope not in this caseb because the food is very good and the kitchen is excel-lent at quickly turning out fresh, healthy, enticing dishes. Mint Leaf does a great job of blending two slightly different cuisines into a unified, tasty whole. V

Weekend

CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI ✭1/2(Guild) Director Roger Spottiswoode preys on the heart in this ill-conceived weeper that just won’t say die. Shang-hai 1937 is an enclave of luxurious sophistication, but in distant Nanking a revolution is raging. Every foreign journalist worth his salt is clamoring to get to the front lines. Eager-beaver English shutterbug George Hogg (Jona-than Rhys Meyers) maneuvers himself to action’s center stage but doesn’t like what he finds: shocking atrocities followed by a brutal arrest and exile to a decrepit orphanage a la “Lord of the Flies.” Earnest Hogg, the ultimate fish out of water, flounders in his new envi-rons, reluctantly warming to his young charges while making goo-goo eyes at do-gooder American nurse Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell). The boys give George the business (as boys will) but he per-severes, building trust and basketball hoops to a crescendo of swelling vio-lins. The script is unfortunately laugh-able, a crying shame as more meaning-ful discourse could have put this lifeless historical dud on the map. Rated: R for violence, bloodshed and mature themes. 2 hours, 5 minutes. J.A.

KUNG FU PANDA ✭✭✭1/2(Century 16, Century 20) Suspension of disbelief is a technique filmgoers use to resolve actions or plot points that do not quite fit into our version of reality. “Kung Fu Panda,” does not make this requirement of the audience. At no point are we asked to even remotely believe any of the scenarios involving a talking, martial-arts-fighting, noodle-selling panda whose father is a duck. And that’s what makes the movie so much fun. The panda, Po (voiced by Jack Black), is reluctantly thrust into the spotlight when he is told he must fulfill an ancient prophecy to become one of the greatest kung fu masters of all time. A kung fu fanatic, Po is excited to study among his idols, a collection of animals representing forms used in Shen Lung kung fu: Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Monkey (Jackie Chan). When an evil snow leopard (Ian McShane) threatens their world, Po and his mentor, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), must find a way to turn the panda’s special talents (which seem to be laziness and glut-tony) into strengths. If you’re looking for a fun romp and a good story, Kung Fu Panda will not disappoint. Rated: PG for sequences of martial-arts action. 92 minutes. — D.D.

One year ago, Leo the pit bull was destined for the cruel life of a fighting dog. But today, he pads

the halls of Camino Medical Group, lift-ing the spirits of cancer patients as they undergo chemotherapy. Leo was one of 50 dogs seized last sum-mer from an illegal dog fighting ring on the Virginia property of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Vick, who was kicked out of the NFL, is currently serving a 23-month prison sentence in federal prison. All but one of Vick’s dogs were reha-bilitated, and Leo’s story led him to Mar-thina McClay, a Los Gatos dog trainer

and president of Our Pack, a Bay Area advocacy group for pit bulls. “Leo is a love dog,” McClay said. “The entire time his tail is wagging.” McClay says Leo (who under Vick’s ownership was called Bouncer) was “con-ditioned” while living on Vick’s property. After hearing about the dog fighting ring, McClay contacted the shelter where Leo was living, and eventually brought him

to California. She said once Leo was here it was easy to teach him to sit, lie down and perform other commands crucial for passing the test for potential therapy dogs. After five weeks of training, Leo was certified as a therapy dog, and began visiting local rest homes and hospitals, including Camino Medical Group — the Mountain View facility operated by Palo Alto Medical

Foundation — where he spends Friday afternoons with patients in the Cancer Infusion Center. His turnaround life has made Leo a celebrity, and People and Fox News both did stories on him. McClay dresses Leo in clown collars or silly scarves before heading to the medical center. Once there, she walks Leo around to visit each patient.

“He quietly and calmly brightens spir-its,” said Cynthia Greaves, a spokesper-son for the medical center. Once McClay puts Leo in his therapy dog vest, “he knows it is time to work,” she said. He is very gentle with all the patients, but approaches them differently depending on their response to his presence. Since the

A new initiative at El Cami-no Hospital could add as much as $5 million to ben-

efit community health programs, after the hospital district’s board of directors agreed to set aside some property tax receipts for the programs each year. As a nonprofit, the hospital has always invested in chari-table programs, said Barbara Avery, manager of community development. But under the new initiative, approved during a meeting last month, El Camino will use a portion of its annual property tax income to provide “consistent, predictable funds for these programs.” The hospital will start the ben-efit fund with an estimated $5 million this year. The yearly funds will allow the hospital to make long-term goals and plans. The fund is designed for “improving health care for the more vulnerable community,” Avery said. “There are going to be a lot of wonderful opportunities.” The board will make no deci-sions regarding allocation of the funds until July, and Avery said she has been exploring options with local organizations and will present her findings to the board next month. Accord-ing to a hospital press release, some community health service options include RotaCare, the hospital’s free clinic; educational forums; and prevention pro-grams, including screenings. “As a not-for-profit organiza-tion, it is both our obligation and our commitment to use our tax-exempt status for the good of the community that supports us,” hospital CEO Ken Graham said in a press release. “The expanded fund will allow us to have an even greater impact within our community.” California has no guidelines regarding donations from tax-

exempt organizations, and dur-ing the 2006-07 fiscal year, the hospital invested $56 million in community programs. Avery said some of this money went to help fund state programs, such as Medicare and MediCal, and nursing programs. With this new fund, Avery said, commu-nity benefit “is an area we can really pump up.” The hospital recently formed a community benefit advisory board, which will make recom-mendations to the directors about how to allocate the funds.

Recently, you may have picked up the news-paper

or turned on the TV news to see yet another report about caffeine. The debate is over whether or not caffeine, particularly coffee, is good or bad for you. You’ll find “experts” on both extremes of the caffeine issue. Who do you believe? Although whether or not you should avoid caffeine really depends on your indi-vidual medical history and how much caffeine you con-sume, it’s a good idea to know the facts beyond the sensational headlines. Here are answers to your questions about all things caffeinated.

Q: I’ve heard reports on the news recently that caf-

feine can increase the chance of miscarriage? Is this true?

A: A study concluded that the risk for miscarriage

doubles for expectant moms who consume more than 200 milligrams of caffeine every day — about two regular cups of coffee. But some doctors are skeptical of the caffeine-miscarriage link. Until these results are confirmed, moth-ers-to-be are urged to keep their daily caffeine consump-tion to less than 200 mg.

Q: Does caffeine help you lose weight?

A: Caffeine is a stimulant and an appetite suppres-

sant, which is why many non-prescription “weight-loss” pills include it. Caffeine also increas-es urination and can have a laxative effect, which means the scale may show a tempo-rary weight loss. Still, there is no reliable data proving that caffeine use leads to significant long-term weight loss.

Q: Is caffeine addictive?

A: Many studies suggest that caffeine causes physi-

cal dependence. Regular caf-feine users who skip a “dose” may suffer withdrawal symp-toms, such as headache, anxi-

ety, fatigue, depression and muscle pain. These symptoms typically disappear within 48 hours of quitting caffeine.

Q: I’ve given up coffee and replaced my morning

cup of joe with an energy drink. This is healthy, right?

A: Energy drinks are incredibly popular, but

most people aren’t aware that the “energy” in these drinks comes from large doses of caffeine. If you’re looking for a caffeine-free alternative to your daily cup of coffee, try herbal teas or hot water with a slice of lemon.

Q: Does caffeine increase blood pressure?

A: Caffeinated drinks raise blood pressure slightly by

increasing levels of stress hor-mones. But long-term studies on coffee drinkers found that this effect declines over time, as most people develop a tolerance to caffeine. Scientists conclude that caffeine users are not more likely to develop long-term high blood pressure.

Q: Can drinking caffein-ated coffee raise my cho-

lesterol?

A: Two substances in caf-feinated coffee — kah-

weol and cafestol — may raise cholesterol levels. Fortunately, paper filters take out these substances. That means you needn’t worry if you drink filtered coffee. But that isn’t true if you enjoy coffee made with a French press, cappucci-nos, lattes or other unfiltered espresso-based drinks.

Q: Can caffeine lead to osteoporosis?

A: Because caffeine increas-es urination, this leads to

a loss of calcium, especially in older women past menopause. But significant calcium loss — and the risk for osteopo-rosis — is only likely if you do not get enough calcium in your diet. Be sure to talk with your doctor if you are unsure how much calcium you need.
