Palo Alto’s proposed monthly water-meter fee — which is one of several utility rate

hikes set to kick in on July 1 — caused a big scare for Joe Baldwin, treasurer for the All Saints Episco-pal Church.

The “customer charge” would net

the city $1.6 million annually by billing property owners a flat rate based on the size of the water me-ter, leaving most homeowners with a $5 monthly fee.

However, All Saints has three meters, including one large, six-inch meter that would add $3,100 alone

to the church’s annual expenses.“A fair amount of our water is

going to good purposes (provid-ing meals and a food closet for the homeless), and we don’t recover those costs, which are going up and up and up over the years,” Baldwin said.

After writing about the church’s potential financial woes on the Palo Alto Weekly’s online forum, TownSquare, last week, utilities

representatives came to the church to inspect the meters.

The large meter turned out to be exempt from the fee because it is a fire-service meter. The church will be off the hook for the $3,100, but it will still pay an additional $464 per year for the two other two-inch meters on the property.

Though relieved, Baldwin still opposes the flat fee, which will be on top of the city’s proposed utility

rate hikes of 9.5 percent for gas, 5 percent for electricity: its $2 to $3 a month for trash and 10 percent for water. The City Council is sched-uled to vote on the customer charge and other increases on Monday, June 11.

Assistant Utilities Director Tom Auzenne could not be reached for comment.

Water to go up 10 percent, new fee proposed for the meterby Molly Tanenbaum

M oney talks, and when a foundation gives the school district $6 million, educa-

tors listen. Palo Alto Partners in Education

(PiE), a three-year-old nonprofit fundraiser, has asked for an exclu-sive contract with the Palo Alto Uni-fied School District (PAUSD).

“PAUSD will not seek to create or endorse the creation of an additional PAUSD fundraising organization that duplicates PiE’s mission and role,” a master agreement presented to the Palo Alto Board of Education last week stated.

And the organization would get more access to the district’s fund-

raising information. In the agree-ment the district must “promptly” notify PiE “upon learning of any solicitation, planned or actual, by another fundraising organization for donation(s) to PAUSD by indi-viduals or organizations in excess of $25,000.”

Notifying PiE of all major donors helps to reduce overlap on fundrais-ing efforts, Susan Bailey, president of PiE’s executive board, said last week. The foundation wants to avoid “knocking on the same door,” she said.

Created in 2004, PiE is the merger of the Palo Alto Foundation for Ed-ucation and the All Schools Fund. It serves as “the primary PAUSD-authorized district-wide fundrais-ing organization for district-wide

programs,” according to the master agreement.

The organization’s mission is “to raise funds for enhancing educa-tional excellence for every student in the district,” according to its Web site.

The group is the only non-district source for funds that support staff-ing.

This year the foundation will give Palo Alto elementary schools $269 per student; secondary schools will get $115 per student. Schools have spent the money on the arts, hiring classroom aids, augmenting science classes, and hiring counselors and psychologists, Bailey said.

Facing growth, parking

company Facebook is expanding workforce

by Molly Tanenbaum

E ach week, one million new us-ers join the Palo Alto-based online social network, Face-

book, Inc.Similarly, the rapidly expanding

start-up is hurrying to add employ-ees — with an aim of growing from 250 to 400 by year’s end, according to company officials. It’s also gob-bling up more and more downtown office space.

To discuss the obstacles of grow-ing and staying successful in down-town Palo Alto, executives of the 3-year-old company invited City Council members and staff to their University Avenue headquarters last week.

Accommodating the bigger work-force is “going to be a continuing challenge for us,” Facebook’s Director of Real Estate Jim Merryman said.

Facebook employs 250 people right now, not counting temporary and con-tracting workers. It has 34 job open-ings listed on its site, ranging from engineers to administrative assistants to an intellectual property attorney.

Last week, the company leased 20,000 square feet on University Avenue, adding to its current of-fices on University and Hamilton avenues. It will soon expand into of-fices at 285 Hamilton Ave. as well, Merryman said.

“We’ll be good for the first quarter of next year, I hope,” he said, tenta-tively.

It’s a far cry from the Harvard University dorm room where the company started.

The kids go green

I t was a star-filled night in Palo Alto last week. Marilyn Mon-roe, Humphrey Bogart and Clint

Eastwood were among the luminar-ies on hand (in big, cardboard cut-outs).

It was the second annual Palo Alto Greenlight Earth Day Film Festival and the real stars were the young people who made the films that were shown. All had environ-mental themes.

One the biggest stars was one of the smallest people there.

Arianna Tammadon, a fifth grad-er at Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo Park, had entered a film in the “open” category, aimed at post-high-school filmmakers. The other two categories were for middle- and high-school students.

She entered the open category be-cause she was too young to enter the middle-school competition.

Arianna was one of the three fi-nalists in the open category.

The other two finalist films, which were excellent, were about building hiking trails in Tennessee by Drew Annis of Menlo Park and a professionally produced film on electronic wastes by Mark Levin-son, a Midpeninsula Community Media Center producer.

Arianna’s film was a claymation short, “Mr. Gopher,” a sweet film about a cute gopher and his world being made a little better.

After all three films were shown, Arianna was sitting on the stage be-tween two adults, a little girl with a big grin.

Her film won first prize in the open category. It was a crowd fa-vorite.

The idea for the environmental film festival came from former Palo Alto Mayor Jim Burch, who was on hand to enjoy the evening.

The auditorium at Cubberley Community Center was nearly filled with parents and student film-makers who eagerly applauded each film. The kids root for each other.

The big winners for the night were a team of four juniors from Gunn High School who made a film, “10 Simple Steps,” that showed how anyone could make a difference in recycling and reducing energy use.

The film was packed with enthu-siasm and punctuated by a sound-track of popular music, including a snippet from old Joni Mitchell song with the lyrics of “They paved para-dise and put up a parking lot.”

“We wanted to do something applicable to students,” said Aja Mathews, one of the Gunn students. She said Al Gore’s film, “An Incon-venient Truth,” is very powerful but doesn’t show people how to make a difference in their daily lives.

Their film does, with suggestions about recycling and carpooling, done with sly, humorous energy.

The Gunn students not only beat out a team from Palo Alto High School, they also won the “Best of Festival” award that included a cash prize (the other winners won gift certificates from local stores) and also included a large, recycled trophy that may have once been someone’s bowling trophy.

Palo Alto City Councilman Peter Drekmeier, who emceed the eve-ning with local film producer Lou-ise Pencavel, took special delight in holding up the recycled trophies for each winner.

Pencavel and Drekmeier also asked each of the producers why they decided to make the film they did.

One of the choicest interchanges was with Evan Green, a Redwood City middle-school student. He made a film about helping to clean his house.

And his last name, of course, was Green.

“Just a coincidence,” he said.The audience applauded enthusi-

astically when he was announced as a second-place winner.

Third place among middle-schoolers went to a team of Terman Middle School students who visited Barron Park Elementary School to teach the younger kids about keep-ing their campus free from litter.

“You would not believe what hap-pens with these kids when they put it together,” their teacher, Eileen Chang, told me. “Their faces just light up.”

First place among middle school students was won by Austin Tamad-don of Menlo Park for a claymation film, similar to that of his award-winning younger sister.

His film was “The Happy Hybrid and the Polluting Pickup.”

“A talented family,” Drekmeier said. ■

F or the first time since its cre-ation in 1999, annual dues paid by the five agencies

backing the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) in-creased $25,000, to $90,000 per year, Executive Director Cynthia D’Agosta said.

The organization, chartered to combat creek flooding, had been drawing down on its reserves and needed additional money to pay its three staff members, contracted consultants and administration fees.

The need for additional money almost forced San Mateo County Flood Control District to withdraw from the pact, but the district’s board approved the increase, D’Agosta said.

The fees are expected to remain stable until 2010, when the entire structure of the organization will change, D’Agosta said.

That year, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers anticipates design work will begin for the long-term flood damage reduction and eco-system prevention project, she said.

This spring, the project received an infusion of $300,000 from the federal government, which had failed to pass a budget for a variety of projects in October 2006, the start of the federal fiscal year.

That was matched by contribu-

tions from Palo Alto, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, San Mateo’s flood district and Santa Clara Valley Wa-ter District, D’Agosta said.

With the money, the Corps is currently investigating existing maps, hydrological and biological studies and conducting additional studies to determine the best ways to improve the creek, she said.

She anticipates the ultimate proj-ect will divide the 14-mile long creek into three sections — High-way 101 to the Bay, Highway 101 to Interstate 280, and Interstate 280 to the creek’s source in the hills.

Most recently, the emergency re-pair of an East Palo Alto levee that borders the Palo Alto Golf Course, which cracked during the winter’s storms, was completed. That work was financed by the state, starting in March 2006.

Longer-term improvements to the levee system are needed, however, to protect residents from larger floods caused by the creek or the Bay, according to the JPA.

The final project will also at-tempt to create improved habitat for native plants and creatures.

Between the two highways, the project will focus on stabilizing the bank. Due to the variety of land-owners, erosion-control efforts are not coordinated, JPA documents show. The approximately seven bridges that span that stretch of the

creek could face reconstruction as well, D’Agosta said.

In the upper stretches of the creek, which include Portola Val-ley and Woodside, the project will probably focus on water storage and environmental restoration, D’Agosta said.

The full project is not expected to be completed until 2022, a sched-ule that some critics have called too slow.

In other business, the authority recently completed a three-month organizational planning effort that D’Agosta said produced “creative and focused” results.

The planning group lauded the organization for uniting previ-ously disparate agencies around a common goal and for its dedicated staff.

The organization is hampered, however, by its small budget and staff, extended project duration, complex mission and lack of public support and participation, accord-ing to the JPA.

In the future, the authority will strive to develop more stable fund-ing, which could include public-pri-vate partnerships and an increased focus on the environmental aspects of the project, according to JPA documents. ■

Federal project includes expanded focus on the ecosystemby Becky Trout

T his fall, a turkey, cheddar and bacon panini meal will cost 75 cents more at Palo Alto

High School, rising to $4.25, while chicken nuggets with the fixings at the elementary schools will cost $3.75 — also a 75 cent increase.

The price hikes are two of the ways the Palo Alto school board is trying to reduce a $600,000 food-program deficit to $200,000 a year by next February. The board adopt-ed the plan last week on a 4-1 vote, with board member Barb Mitchell dissenting. Mitchell said she want-ed to see the food-service budget at zero.

“I don’t see a break-even plan, and I’m not willing to break board policy,” Mitchell said.

The district’s food service, run by Chartwells, has lost in total more than $1.1 million over the last five years, according to a staff report.

In addition to the price increases, in which middle-school lunches will also rise to $4.24 each, students will have to pay for food with cash or prepaid meal cards. The district will no longer accept credit cards.

Each day all elementary schools

will be required to pre-order the number of lunches they plan to serve that day. Elementary schools will also have to stagger their lunch breaks.

An earlier proposal to offer pre-packaged “grab and go” lunches was not adopted.

If the increased lunch prices and pre-ordering system do not work, the district may have to do away with hot lunches altogether, Associ-ate Superintendent Jerry Matranga said.

“We’re not as far as we would like to be because it’s a culture of change,” Matranga said. “There has to be some consistent practices in terms of how those facilities (school sites) are managed.”

“PAUSD will enforce a pre-order system so we can get closer to the actual number of lunches we actual-ly have to feed,” Matranga added.

“Teachers are going to have to be willing” to pre-order lunches, he add-ed. “Secretaries are going to have to be willing to call it in every day.”

Parents of elementary school students will be able to pre-order lunches for their children online,

Matranga said.The only way to ensure food ser-

vices gets back in the black next year would be to close both high school campuses for lunch, Matranga said.

Student board members Molly Kawahara from Gunn High and Peter Lo from Paly protested the idea of keeping teens from leaving school for lunch, saying open cam-puses promote “trust” and “free-dom.” Under the adopted plan, high school campuses will remain open during lunch time.

The board also renewed its con-tract with Chartwells. ■

HOT SHOTS . . . Palo Alto has many hot shots in its midst, but none like the 47 students from Gunn and Paly high schools, Terman and Jordan middle schools and Juana Briones Elementary School who showed off their basket-ball skills at the 10th annual Special Hoop Shoot last Fri-day, held at Juana Briones. Sponsored by a group known as the Palo Alto Annex, the morning athletic event for youth with special needs gave each participant the chance to sink some balls, with vol-unteers helping by adjusting the nets accordingly. As balls flew, so did the cheers, smiles and hugs. Each participant received a green T-shirt and trophy, provided by Palo Alto Trophy. Summing up the spirit of the event, organizer Tom Brosnan remarked: “They play basketball, and we make up the rules as they go.” What’s not to smile about?

ALL DAY PARKING DOWN-TOWN? . . . The holy grail of downtown Palo Alto parking is hiding underneath a big, pur-ple condo building completed last year at 800 High St. Right now, drivers can ignore the large sign at the underground garage’s entrance that tells says non-residents they can park for two hours between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Additional signs in front of each individu-al parking spot read “All day” parking, and those are for real, says to Palo Alto Park-ing Enforcement Lead Chris Quick. They’re meant to help the new, under-utilized lot say to drivers, “I’m here, please use me,” Quick said. But they won’t last forever. The garage

will revert to two-hour parking on July 1 once enough word gets out, he said.

BIG BUCKS . . . The Palo Alto City Council agreed last week to pay to a consultant $26,200 to analyze the performance of City Manager Frank Ben-est, City Attorney Gary Baum,City Clerk Donna Rogers and City Auditor Sharon Erickson— an expense that Council-woman Judy Kleinberg felt was unwise. She cast the only vote against the expenditure. “I think we should be reducing costs in our current financial situation, and we shouldn’t be expanding consultant con-tracts when we ourselves are capable of providing some of the work product,” Kleinberg wrote in a follow-up email. “We used to do it entirely by ourselves.”

A HIKE OFFERED ONCE IN A BLUE MOON . . . “Blue moon,” it turns out, is quite a complicated term (check out the Wikipedia listing for some fun reading). Hiking, however, is fairly straightforward, and food, many would argue, is al-ways good. The environmental nonprofit Acterra is promising all three at its California Blue Moon Hike, to be held Thurs-day, May 31 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. It costs $25 per person, but participants will get a veg-etarian dinner cooked by chef Laura Stec. Smaller groups will take guided hikes and then former NASA physicist Joe Jordan will explain why May 31 is a California blue moon. For information, contact Ac-terra at www.Acterra.org. The event is limited to 50 people. ■

California Avenue introduces a Year-Round Farmer’s Market!

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007, on California Avenue(Cross street: El Camino Real)

9AM - 1PMDetails at www.UrbanVillageOnline.com

This space donated as a Community Service by the Palo Alto Weekly.

I t will be at least another 15 years until the state begins a project to improve traffic over

the Dumbarton Bridge, but local residents are already bracing for changes that could add cars to Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and other cit-ies’ roads.

Some residents and commuters wish improvements could come sooner.

“It’s a true feeling to feel trapped in your own community during commute hours. You can’t get in and out,” East Palo Alto resident Norm Picker said. “God forbid when the next big earthquake comes.”

This Saturday, the public will have another chance to weigh in on possible traffic, quality-of-life and environmental issues that will af-fect them when traffic-improvement measures become realities around the year 2020.

The meeting, part of the “Dumbar-ton Dialogue” series, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at East Palo Alto City Hall, 2415 University Ave.

Widening U.S. Highway 101, Uni-versity Avenue and Willow Road, adding elevated express lanes to 101 and tunneling under East Palo Alto are among many possibilities gener-ated by San Mateo County’s City/County Association of Governments from the “2020 Peninsula Gateway Corridor Study” to improve traffic on the crammed approaches to the

Dumbarton Bridge.Last month in East Palo Alto, 13

residents of Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park gathered to talk about the options and realities surrounding traffic on the bridge.

East Palo Alto residents felt that many of the options would affect their city disproportionately, and those present at the meeting dis-agreed over whether or not one city should have more of a voice than another.

“We have traditionally had very little power over what occurs in our city,” East Palo Alto resident Nancy Edelson said.

Some people at the meeting sup-ported adding lanes for vehicles, while others advocated carpooling, BART and other mass-transit exten-sions.

Penny Ellson, civic-affairs com-mittee chair for the Greenmeadow Community Association in Palo Alto, opposed adding more non-car-pool lanes to U.S. Highway 101, ar-guing that the more lanes there are, the more people will drive instead of using public transit or bicycling.

In Los Angeles, Ellson said, “They add lanes, and the cars just keep coming.”

Lee Gray, a Public Works and Transportation Commissioner in East Palo Alto, wanted more fund-ing to be allocated to mass transit instead of focusing on road improve-

ments. Buses are time consuming to take and not practical for many commuters, he said.

“Who has hours to waste in a day?” he added.

The Dumbarton Dialogue is funded by a grant from Caltrans to East Palo Alto. Omowale Satter-white of the National Community Development Institute, which fo-cuses on “capacity-building issues in communities of color,” is one of the dialogue facilitators tasked with the goal of finding a middle ground among the desires of residents from the six affected cities: Atherton, East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City and Mountain View.

“People forget the city boundaries in this process,” Satterwhite said. “By the end of the day, people are feeling much more collegial.”

On June 13, as a wrap-up to the community meetings that have tak-en place this spring, members of the public will have the opportunity to attend a “mock” public hearing with city officials from the six cities.

Two die in solo-car crash at 101, San AntonioTwo passengers died in an early morning single-vehicle crash

at Bayshore Freeway and San Antonio Road in Palo Alto, and the driver has been charged with driving under the influence, accord-ing to the California Highway Patrol.

The crash of a blue Hyundai on the northbound San Antonio Road off-ramp at U.S. Highway 101 was first reported to the CHP around 2:40 a.m., Officer Scott Cakebread said.

The Hyundai sustained major damage after rolling several times, fatally injuring two passengers. The driver was able to remove himself from the wreckage.

He was transported to Stanford Hospital.The driver is a 23-year-old Sunnyvale man, according to CHP.

The two passengers, 24 and 36, were from Mountain View. Those with information are encouraged to contact the Redwood

City area CHP office at 650-369-6261. ■—Jay Thorwaldson

Indecent-exposure suspect arrested after chase Ricardo Valencia, 34, of Redwood City, was arrested about 7:30

a.m. Friday — after a foot chase by police through Town & Country Village Shopping Center — as a suspect in the series of indecent exposures near Palo Alto High School and the center.

A witness stepped out of a shopping-center doorway and grabbed the man after police Sgt. Sandra Brown — in plain clothes — called out to nearby workers to stop him, Brown reported.

Valencia was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose for failing to obey a police officer and resisting ar-rest. He was placed on a federal immigration hold for a prior felony conviction, Brown said.

She said plainclothes officers investigating a series of indecent exposures in the area were observing pedestrian traffic on the foot-and-bike path behind Town & Country Village when they observed a man matching the description of a man seen exposing himself and masturbating in the area. The description was of a stocky Hispanic male of medium height.

Officers saw Valencia enter the path from Encina Avenue, wear-ing a green sweatshirt, baggy jeans and a black baseball cap. Brown said she saw him standing in some bushes in the same location as the man reported by two prior witnesses to the indecent expo-sures.

Brown said he was standing with his back to the path, apparently urinating and looking around furtively. He then left the bushes and began walking briskly toward the shopping center, Brown reported. Brown said she identified herself as an officer and called for the man to stop, but instead he began running into the shopping center with Brown in pursuit.

Brown called to some workers to stop the suspect, and a witness stepped out of a doorway and grabbed the man. Other officers ar-rived and arrested him, Brown said. ■

Second fake student discovered at StanfordA second person has been discovered posing as a Stanford Univer-

sity student and has been sent a letter by university officials to stay away from the campus.

The first person discovered as a phony student had been living in campus dorms for eight months as an undergraduate. The second may have been on campus since 2004, posing as a graduate physics student.

The university has not identified either student imposter, but the Stanford Daily reported that the supposed undergraduate was Azia Kim and the student posing as a graduate student was Elizabeth Okazaki.

The student newspaper reported that Okazaki had been attend-ing graduate seminars for four years and using offices intended for graduate students.

The university is now conducting an investigation to discover how non-students could successfully pose at students, which has upset both parents and students.

“We recognize that this (latest) allegation, following earlier reports of an individual falsely impersonating an undergraduate, raises important questions about campus security,” said Jeff Wa-chtel, senior assistant to Stanford President John Hennessy. “In addition, there are separate investigations underway of each of these individual cases.”■

“Taxing you on the meter — which is an existing physical device that is part of the city’s infrastruc-ture — struck me as a little draco-nian,” Baldwin said.

“Next year, they’ll put a tax on your gas meter and the year after your electric meter. I think it’s a ter-rible precedent,” he added.

The new charge would pay for “meter reading, billing and other administrative costs” and would prevent an “unfair subsidization of low-volume water users,” according to a city staff report.

The utility rate increases will also have a negative impact not just on the church but on individ-ual residents throughout Palo Alto, said Mary Carlstead, who lives in the Duveneck/St. Francis neighbor-hood.

“It’s very obvious that the rate increases are going to be punitive

to many people and particularly to seniors who are on Social Secu-rity and a fixed income,” Carlstead said.

Both Baldwin and Carlstead have encouraged Palo Alto residents to write letters of protest to the city before June 11.

It would take more than half of the affected residents writing a let-ter for each separate utility hike to change the city’s plan, according to staff reports.

However, other residents doubt a majority of owners will write let-ters to object to the rate hikes.

“You (the city) continually ask for money and get it because you’re not going to get 50 percent to say they don’t want it. That’s just a façade,” said Rich Scholz, who is retired and lives in the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood.

“Instead of raising the prices, I think they ought to start cutting costs,” he said. “Frankly, they could learn a whole lot from Mountain

View.”Midtown Residents Association

Chair Sheri Furman called the let-ter-writing requirement a barrier to residents having a voice in the rate increases.

“The fact that you have to write a letter — you can’t e-mail and you have to write one for each differ-ent thing (utility) — seems to me a kind of way to discourage the pub-lic,” Furman said.

Carlstead agreed that people in Palo Alto probably will not protest in great enough numbers to prevent the rate increases. She believes, however, the higher costs will cause residents to think twice next year when voting on $95 million in bonds for libraries and a new police building.

“When they go to the ballot box in 2008 ... people are going to look at that,” Carlstead said. ■

ic student activities at the schools would be able to continue fund-raising, according to Lois Garland, vice-president of governance for PiE.

But the agreement will help PiE to better account for how schools spend the money, Bailey said.

The organization is asking for quarterly financial and impact re-ports, as well as a quarter update on major donors.

“The foundation has been incred-ibly supportive of the district and they are moving the foundation to the next level,” Superintendent Mary Frances Callan said. “They give us the money, and all the schools do is

report back what they’ve spent the money on.”

Roles and responsibilities between the district and the foundation will be more clear, Bailey said.

“The first step in the process is for the district to tell us what they want funding for.”

PiE will then decide which of the district’s priorities for which it can fundraise, she said.

Menlo Park, Los Altos Hills and Irvine have similar contracts with their major donors, she added.

PiE is also asking for students’ contact information for use during fundraising campaigns and to keep track of parents who donate and thank them.

The organization would also get a permanent Web site link on www.pausd.org.

The exclusive nature of the con-tract will not hinder the district from continuing to do its own fund-raising, Bailey said.

“We take our fundraising goals from direction from the district. That’s the major purpose of the document,” she said.

One representative from the dis-trict will serve as an honorary di-rector on the PiE board. This year school board member Mandy Low-ell acted as a board member with the foundation.

School board members showed unanimous favor last Tuesday night for cementing the district’s relation-ship with PiE. The board will vote on the agreement June 5. ■

representatives why they had chosen Palo Alto, and downtown specifi-cally, as their campus.

“We think of Palo Alto as a real asset for us,” Chief Operating Offi-cer Owen Van Natta said, referring to the need to lure workers away from Google and other companies.

Downtown Palo Alto’s proximity to a Caltrain Baby Bullet stop, its supply of restaurants and its night-life were among the company’s rea-sons for setting up shop there.

“You’re working late hours, and it doesn’t feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere,” Van Natta said.

The start-up also hopes to benefit the community, he added. Besides attracting young, talented college grads to work in Palo Alto, Van Natta said that Facebook encour-ages its employees to become Palo Altans.

The company offers a $600 sti-pend for employees who live within a mile of the office.

“We want to help people set roots in Palo Alto,” Van Natta said.

In addition to the stipend, Face-book provides its employees with amenities such as laundry and dry cleaning services, three catered meals and two snacks a day.

One complication of being locat-ed downtown, however, has been parking.

Merryman joked that Facebook workers were contributing to city revenues from the parking tickets they were getting while waiting six to eight weeks to receive permits from the city.

Keeping Facebook in downtown Palo Alto would help maintain active, successful stores and res-taurants on University Avenue, ac-cording to Susan Arpan, the city’s manager of economic development and redevelopment.

“It doesn’t generate sales tax, but it does create support for the ground- floor businesses,” she said.

Several of the council members and city staff showed a limited knowledge of the quickly grow-ing downtown company that has 24 million active users and is the “sixth most trafficked Web site in the U.S.,” according to Vice Presi-dent and Chief Privacy Officer Chris Kelly.

Before the meeting, Assistant City Manager Emily Harrison threw up her hands and admitted that she didn’t know what Facebook was.

“I have cats, not kids,” she said.Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto said,

“I’m not (on Facebook) but my daughters definitely are. They’re the first to jump on anything.”

Councilmen John Barton and Pe-ter Drekmeier have Facebook pages, but both say they joined out of cu-riosity and are not frequent users of the site, which is typically associ-ated with college students.

“I think it’s something younger people use more than old fogies like me,” said Drekmeier, who is the council’s youngest member.

“I don’t spend a lot of time look-ing at it,” added Barton, who is “friends” on Facebook with his son and several Stanford students he taught recently.

However, Barton explained to his colleagues the potential he saw for using Facebook for professional purposes.

If, for example, architects com-municated with each other through Facebook, they could supply photos and drawings in a simpler way than e-mail attachments, Barton said.

“If all of us had a Facebook page, we would know a lot more about each other,” he added.

Kelly said several large compa-nies already use Facebook for em-ployee communication and that the site encourages presidential candi-dates to make their own pages that are open to the public.

Barton thought using Facebook could be a very useful — and free — campaign tool.

“You can put together a network of folks who are interested in sup-porting you, and you could get in-formation straight to them. At that point, it’s a free database of infor-mation,” he said. ■

Kenneth AllenKenneth Paige Allen, 80, a

longtime resident of Palo Alto, died May 3 from Alzheimer’s disease.

He was born in Oakland and

grew up in Alameda, Calif. He joined the U.S. Army after grad-uating from high school and was sent to Japan to serve under Gen-eral George Macarthur. When his tour of duty was complete he attended the University of San Francisco and graduated with a degree in philosophy.

As a member of the Army Ac-

tive Reserve he was called on to fight in the Korean War. Af-ter completing his active tour he left for Europe to study foreign languages and music in Perugia, Italy, and the University of Vi-enna, Austria. He met his future wife, Judith, while attending the U.S. Army Intelligence School in Obermmergau, Germany. They

were married in London, Eng-land.

Upon his return to the United States he pursued studies at both Cornell University and Stanford University. As an intelligence officer he was assigned as State Department Attache to several international posts.

A gifted pianist, he had an ap-preciation for all kinds of music. He also enjoyed rebuilding classic sports cars.

He is survived by his wife, Judith of Palo Alto; daughters, Pikke Allen of Santa Barbara and Heidi E. Allen of Palo Alto; and two grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 2, at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1295 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. He will be buried at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial do-nations may be made to the Al-zheimer’s Association, 2065 W. El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA 94040.

Janet LeeJanet Virginia Lee, 94, a long-

time resident of Menlo Park and Atherton, died May 6.

She was born Aug. 17, 1913, in Chicago, Ill., to James Owen Lee and Helen Tully Lee. She stud-ied public speaking, speech and voice at Rockford College and Northwestern University, and completed courses in commer-cial, portrait and color photogra-phy at the New York Institute of Photography.

She worked as a photographer in New York during World War II. In 1945 she became the official photographer for the Arctic Circle Exploration Company, a jade and asbestos mining operation, and spent two years in Candle, Ala., a tiny settlement 150 miles north-east of Nome. After the company dissolved in 1947, she continued to travel in the Alaskan Territory for another three years, accompa-nied by her sled dog.

When her father retired in 1954, the family moved from Illinois to Atherton, Calif. She became active at St. Peter’s Epis-copal Church in Redwood City. She enrolled at St. Margaret’s House in Berkeley and because of her desire to work “in some rug-ged spot” was led to the Church Army. She was commissioned in the Church Army of the United States in December 1963.

She served as missionary in charge of two small communities in the Nevada desert from 1961 to 1963 and as missionary for an In-dian community in Sisseton, S.D., from 1963 to 1965.

In 1965 she was assigned by the Church Army to be assistant director of Hospitality House, an activity center for senior citizens in Dallas, Texas. She served as director from 1969 to 1973.

She returned to Atherton in 1973 and moved to Menlo Park in 1978 after her father’s death. She was active at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Menlo Park and in 1985 was commissioned a Lay Eucharistic Minister by the Diocese of California.

A memorial service will be held Friday, June 8, at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 330 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park.

OK to opt outEditor,

Kudos to Paly and Gunn High School for opting out of News-week’s rating system, which is basi-cally about the number of students taking A.P. (Advanced Placement) classes. A.P. classes look good on a transcript. They can help get college credit and they can be challenging. However, these courses generally have tightly scripted curricula and are often “taught to the tests.”

A regular class can be as chal-lenging with more opportunities for creativity. An artificial scale that measures rankings by these classes is an additional pressure our children don’t need. A good high school is about so much more than the sum of its A.P. classes.

Help for HeiferEditor,

We are two seventh-grade stu-dents from Jordan Middle school who are doing a project to help end world poverty and hunger. We are looking for donations to a nonprofit organization called Heifer Interna-tional.

Heifer International collects money and buys animals to donate to hungry families. For example, $150 is enough to buy a goat. The goat would help a family have milk and, once there is excess, they will be able to sell that milk and make more money. Once that animal has offspring, the family will give it to another family in need.

Did you know that more than 40,000 kids die every day from hunger in Africa? The population of Palo Alto is around 50,000. Imagine the whole city of Palo Alto dropping dead every single day. Malnutrition plays a roll in 5 million deaths each year.

We are asking Palo Alto Weekly to publicize this project and anyone who wants to donate money can go to www.heifer.org.

Why we fight?Editor,

The war in Iraq should never have happened. We have spent over $425 billion and lost the trust and respect of our world allies.

This war has not helped the de-fense of America. If anything, the war has weakened our ability to pro-tect ourselves.

President Bush chose to use the money of the United States to start a war instead of improving health care, education or pretty much any

Editorial: ‘Save Route 88’ bus effort worthwhile

But so is the Valley Transportation Authority’s long-overdue effort to make bus routes more efficient,

increase ridership and become more responsive to need

A proposal to cut a bus route that serves many Palo Alto neigh-borhoods (Route 88 east of Alma Street) has brought together unlikely Palo Alto allies to defend it, including developer Jim

Baer and neighborhood leader Penny Ellson, among others. But this proposed drastic cut differs from budget-driven

service cutbacks of earlier years. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) transportation planner Kevin Connolly, who May 23 weathered critical comments from Palo Altans about the proposed cut, noted it is part of a countywide revision of routes designed to increase efficiency, ridership and responsiveness to demand.

The revisions are part of a “comprehensive operations analysis” by VTA that will combine market research and aggressive marketing of bus services, Connolly said. Work on the new approach has been underway for 15 months.

After more meetings, including a June 4 briefing of the Palo Alto City Council, the VTA hopes to reach a decision by late August, he said.

But Route 88 in Palo Alto during peak times doesn’t need marketing to fill buses. That’s when the buses fill with students heading to or from Gunn High School and Terman Middle School. It’s during the off-peak hours that buses run nearly empty — creating a real-world case of “use it or lose it.”

Gunn and Terman are also served by the Palo Alto city shuttle service, but students report the shuttles are packed, so there is limited ability to absorb more students if 88 is cut.

The 88 line currently starts at the downtown Palo Alto transit center, heads east on Hamilton Avenue, then over to Channing Avenue, connecting with Embarcadero Road at Edgewood Shopping Center. It then jogs west on Embarcadero to Louis, where it makes a long run south to Charleston, then heads west on Charleston/Arastradero roads past Gunn High School and the Palo Alto VA Hospital, winding up near the California Avenue Caltrain station before looping back.

Those fighting to preserve 88 cite major new housing will soon emerge along the route, including senior and other housing in the southeast corner of town, part of the Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life. VTA planners on May 23 indicated they were not fully aware of the extent of housing planned for that corridor.

But regardless of future demand the real fear is that once a bus line goes away it’s gone forever. Connolly concedes the point, but adds that there may be better ways to provide the service — noting that most new housing won’t arrive until 2009.

Palo Alto Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto, who also serves as Palo Alto’s representative on the VTA board, echoes Connolly’s points: “Remember, this is a proposal — and this proposal comes from a very comprehensive overhaul of VTA designed to make VTA more efficient, as we’ve all been asking,” she said in an e-mail response to Baer. “The question is whether VTA can help Palo Alto backfill with a VTA Community Bus or a jointly run city-county shuttle,” she said.

That is precisely the question. But it’s not that simple. There is first a question of local resources. Second, there is a long-standing lack of trust stemming from a lengthy history of rear-guard battles to preserve North County transit service and safeguard future transit-related funding in the face of San Jose’s political clout — despite the strong support North County voters have given transit-funding measures.

This “equity” issue has frustrated North County representatives for years. But it is a weak argument compared to the goal of creating an overall transit system that is efficient and responsive.

Yet what seems clear is that the VTA is approaching Palo Alto backwards. Instead of entering with a proposal to work together to “find a better way” to provide service, it comes in with a proposal to whack an important route and essentially says “trust us” to help figure how to backfill for the lost service.

That’s just not good enough. VTA needs to shift gears, back up, remove Route 88 from the cut list for this round, engage the community in finding better ways to meet the need and build ridership and then re-evaluate the line’s future in the light of complete information.

program designed to help people. Bush has taken this money from my generation. My school (Gunn) lacks proper funds to buy new textbooks. Instead, we are spending the nation’s wealth on a war with no real gain.

Bush has lied and cheated the American people out of our time, money and education. We should pull out of Iraq and take real steps to ensure our safety. Why are we still fighting Bush’s war?

Iraq War affects everyoneEditor,

The United States is at war in Iraq, yet most people at my school (Gunn) rarely talk about it. While American soldiers are getting killed, people continue to go about their daily lives and seem to not take any interest in what is happening with the war.

In addition to the obvious and tragic loss of American lives over-seas, American civilian lives have been surprisingly and directly af-fected by this ongoing war. If the

Kansas National Guard, as well as their equipment, had not been so de-pleted by the war, it is very possible that they would have been able to respond in a more effective fashion to help with recovery after the dead-ly tornadoes. I hope that my fellow citizens of California realize that depleted manpower and equipment could greatly affect our state’s abil-ity to respond to a natural tragedy, such as an earthquake.

Perhaps the people whose lives have been tragically affected in Kansas can open up America’s eyes to the situation in Iraq.

War is not something to have a passive opinion about but a topic to openly discuss and debate. Con-gress has taken a good first step by discussing how the National Guard can be more ready for a crisis like the one in Kansas. I hope that all Americans take a close look at how the war in Iraq impacts each of our lives.

“I use my truck. I’ve never used the bus. No bike, not on the bus, nothing.”

I have worked in down-town Palo Alto since 1992 and have wit-

nessed many changes in the shops and services that have ebbed and flowed and altered the business atmo-sphere.

As a Palo Alto resident, I enjoy the many services downtown offers and would like to see more members of our community have a stronger connection with their downtown.

I became an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and am one of the founding directors of the Palo Alto Downtown Business and Profes-sional Association. I participate because I see the value such organizations can deliver to our busi-ness and residential communities alike.

Bringing these entities together strengthens both. Public space and facilities are logical con-nections between them.

Lytton Plaza has a wonderful history as a place for free speech and public expression. It’s a meet-ing place for kids to go after school where they can engage in risk-free socializing. It’s a place for music and dance. Do you remember the infre-quent times when a group of local young people would plug in their instruments and give a free concert?

The plaza is a sunny spot for having take-out lunch with friends or a place for “quiet” rest. It’s a place for strollers and games; for chatting and coffee; for reading a book or newspaper; for just plain people-watching.

Yet Lytton Plaza is a community asset that is begging for rehabilitation. The tree planters are old, dingy and overscaled. The concrete is dirty

Time to refurbish Lytton Plaza, with or without the Eggby Sunny Dykwel

Guest Opinion

This week on TownSquare• Posted May 24 at 9:30 p.m. by Andrew, a resident of the Downtown

North neighborhood: “I believe that University Avenue should be turned into a bicycle and pedestrian mall, from Cowper to Emerson.”

• Posted May 25 at 9:15 a.m. by Parent, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood: “The recent news about a teen pretending to be a Stan-ford student, going to classes, etc. speaks volumes about the pressures we are putting our teens under.”

and decrepit. There are no tables on which to eat or play games and other outdoor activities.

However you feel about the “Egg” as public art, it is overlooked in a space devoid of character. This plaza has deteriorated; and in a city where space is a premium it is a blatant example of un-der-utilized and neglected urban space.

It is not a pleasant site.So what opportunities are available for this

valuable public space?A survey conducted by the Palo Alto Down-

town Business and Professional Association re-vealed that the community wants downtown to be a more welcoming place for families.

Specifically, the survey results showed a desire to create a multi-use community gathering space for Lytton Plaza.

We have a real and timely opportunity for a col-laborative effort to improve this space. The city has insufficient resources to redevelop the plaza on its own. But in April 1994 the City Council

adopted a public-private partnership policy which has been successfully used in the past to provide improvements to the Children’s Theater, the new Heritage Park and future possible improvements to the Junior Museum and Zoo.

We have an opportunity to use that coopera-tive mechanism today to turn Lytton Plaza into a unique locale for the citizens of and visitors to Palo Alto.

The Downtown Business and Professional As-sociation is collaborating with the Friends of the Palo Alto Parks as the key players, along with the city, in an important and desirable civic im-provement.

The proposed improvements envision the use of water, greenery and seating to make the plaza more inviting. We want to encourage pedestrian use of downtown spaces, which is important in our quest for increased sustainability of our city and resources.

It should be clear that the purpose of improving Lytton Plaza is not to benefit any single business but to enhance the overall area and make it a truly useable space and a family destination.

There are plans to create a one-day promenade and show movies at the plaza this summer. Future activities could include coordinating community and complementary business events.

Updating Lytton Plaza will be an important step in which to make downtown an inviting and vibrant place to walk, linger, play and socialize by ensuring the revitalization of what could be a signature community asset. Let’s make Lytton Plaza attractive, welcoming and worthy of Palo Alto! ■

Crime Pays for CPAEditor,

Who said crime doesn’t pay? The London Guardian recently reported $12 billion that has essentially van-ished into thin air. Shortly after the start of the war in Iraq, a huge cache of money consisting of $100 bills shrink-wrapped into huge bundles were loaded onto a C-130 planes and delivered to Iraq. The money was to be disbursed to Iraqi ministries and war-profiteering contractors but much of the funds were given to “ghost employees.”

The chairman of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Henry Wax-man, was outraged, stating, “Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone?”

The cash bonanza came from Iraqi oil sales, surplus U.N. oil-for-food program funds, and seized Iraqi assets. The Coalition Provi-sional Authority (CPA) retained a relatively unknown consulting com-pany, North Star Consultants, Inc. to “manage” the accounting details of the transactions.

The company reportedly operates from a private home in San Diego.

This is yet another example of the blundering, incompetent, and crim-inal behavior of the U.S.-led CPA and their task masters in Washing-ton who played fast and loose with Iraqi assets to enrich war profiteers and the U.S. puppet government in Baghdad.

BAND OF BOUTIQUES ... Score one for the small, locally owned business. In typical entrepre-neurial fashion, a scrappy group of downtown Palo Alto specialty shops has united under the ban-ner of Palo Alto Downtown Bou-tiques’ Association. To celebrate, the group is hosting an al fresco fashion show, IN STYLE Palo Alto, set for Saturday, June 9 on Bryant Street between Univer-sity and Hamilton avenues. The inaugural event will benefit the Downtown Streets Team and will feature the latest from Bloom Buitik, Charmosa, Far East Living, Fashion Passion, Gitti’s Fine Lin-gerie, Hot Mango Pickle and Vian Hunter. For more information, go to www.boutiqueson bryant.com/instylepaloalto.com.

FACING MYSPACE . . . Palo Alto’s Facebook, a social-net-working site popular with the col-lege crowd and beyond, declared its pages open for business last Thursday. By sharing its screen space with Microsoft, Amazon, Forbes.com and more than 60 others, Facebook is giving the businesses access to its more than 24 million users. Reports predict Facebook will eventually boost profits by processing the transactions for hosted business-es. The blogosphere was buzzing Friday morning with speculation that the move could ultimately position Facebook to unseat the reigning social-networking king, Myspace, which currently boasts 100 million unique accounts.

LIVE, FROM SPACE . . . Palo Alto’s Space Systems/Loral was recently awarded a contract to build a communications satellite for SES Global which will allow telecommunications providers, broadcasters, corporations and governments to beam content and information around Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India and other areas of Asia. Named the NSS-12, the spacecraft will even-tually hover high above the earth over the Indian Ocean. The craft will be assembled in Palo Alto, with a completion date of 2009.

“Iwork for my wife,” said Dan Garber, architect and Palo Alto planning commissioner. He often says that to people he meets for the first time.

“I think you say that because it’s amusing to others, and partly because I started the firm,” said architect Catharine Garber of their Palo Alto-based architectural firm called Fergus Garber group.

“I’d say that we’re an anomaly,” Dan said.It’s an interesting scenario for 21st Century America.

In fact, the idea of husbands working for wives is so new that there is very little research on these kinds of working relationships. But with the scenario of Hillary Clinton as President and Bill as First Man edging closer to reality, it

may be something we hear more about in the near future.

Women-owned businesses have grown twice as fast as the national average, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. The coun-try now has 7.7 million firms that are more than 50 percent owned by women. Women-owned businesses account for 29.7 percent of all busi-ness in the United States and gener-ate $1.1 trillion in annual sales.

California leads the pack with women running 31.5 percent of all privately held firms in the state.

Although Catharine started the firm, she wants to make it clear that she thinks of her working relation-ship with her husband as a partner-ship. They jointly and equally own the firm, but it’s clear she’s taken the lead.

Catharine’s maiden name, “Fer-gus,” comes before Garber in the firm’s name. On their Web site, Catharine’s picture is in the first position. She’s also the founder. “The firm is built around Catharine and the way she designs and the things that are interesting to her,” Dan added.

“The firm already had a type of work that it did and a certain sense about it,” Catharine said. “I think Dan’s been sensitive not to change the nature of the firm too much from that vision.”

Catharine started the firm in 1987, working out of the family’s home in Chicago. After working in the corporate world, Dan formally joined Catharine’s firm in 2000.

The two have been married 20 years.

“She thinks of us as being equals as opposed to me being in a subor-dinate position,” Dan added.

“I think what friends find sur-prising is that a husband and wife can spend so much time together,” Catharine said.

In fact, they enjoy the partnership. “For me it was being in a work envi-ronment with people I know and in this case, love,” Dan said.

The feeling is reciprocal. “It was a relief to have him because I didn’t want to be managing other people. It gave me the confidence to grow the company and hire more people. He’s been really helping to steer the growth of the company,” she said and turned to Dan. “It’s not like you’re following in my footsteps.”

“I get to do my own thing,” Dan said, “and support Catharine and that’s pretty great.”

Working together has given the couple an advantage.

“It’s actually benefited the fam-ily and it’s better for the business. Financially you’re better off,” he said.

Several blocks away from Fergus

Garber Group, another up-and-com-ing couple, Lisa and Scott Hunter, set up a new clothing boutique called Vian Hunter in Palo Alto this year. In a style remininscent of 1950s and 1960s elegance, the store sells Lisa’s designs.

“I’m in charge of everything to do with designing and produc-tion,” Lisa said. Her husband Scott, whom customers will often find in the store on Bryant Street, sells the clothes, and handles marketing, ad-vertising and publicity, Lisa said. The two jointly own the business and see their working relationship on equal footing.

“We love it,” Scott said. Lisa agrees. “It’s a family affair.”But when it comes to creative li-

cense, “there’s a fine line with hus-bands and wives working together,” Lisa said. There were some tensions in putting together their storefront, Lisa said. She had an idea of what she wanted and Scott had an idea of what it should look like. In the end, Scott said Lisa’s vision brought it together.

“She really has figured out what people want and it’s really about getting the word out to people now. Everybody who comes in here and sees her designs — from the mo-ment she started doing custom work after getting her fashion degree to the present — is extremely positive. I really think she’s hit on something that people want,” Scott said.

The couple has been married for 19 years and have two children who attend Palo Alto High School.

This isn’t the first time they’ve worked together.

From 1995 to 2000 when they worked together on a music maga-zine Scott ran, Lisa provided mana-gerial support. “That was his pas-sion,” she said. “I love rock music. But that was his dream, and I was part of it. He was the one being in-terviewed, he was creating the mag-azine, and that was fine for me.”

Two years later at the age of 39, Lisa achieved her dreams of com-pleting a degree in fashion. She made custom designs for clients while Scott worked on a business plan.

“It’s different,” Lisa said of her new role as a designer and figure-head for the line. “This is my pas-sion. It’s his passion too, but I get to design, which is great.”

Scott is in total support. “We’re in the groove. We’re bond-

ed. We’re looking at trying to have a successful business through this,” Scott said.

“What’s unique — pretty much all the creative stuff is her burden this time,” Scott said.

“We expect that to continue on for infinity.” ■

A lesson in sleepSchools begin to educate teens, parents about the importance of sleep,

but changing school start times an uphill battle

by Thea Lamkin-Carughi

“If our kids weren’t getting enough food, we’d make sure they were fed, and this is equally as important. They’re starving for sleep.” — Melinda McGee, Palo Alto High School parent

T hree local high schools are beginning to look at the significance of sleep for teens as part of the fight against stress.

Gunn High School has held two full assemblies to educate students about their need for adequate sleep.

A member of Palo Alto High School’s Site Council has been lobbying for more than a year to move school start times almost an hour later, to 8:45 a.m.

Menlo-Atherton High School has conducted a sleep study that showed three out of four students are sleepy in their first class and 44 percent doze off at least once a week in class.

Palo Alto High School parent Melinda McGee says sleep deprivation is a main contributor to many of the challenges today’s adolescents face.

“There’s a whole smorgasbord of reasons to

make a change,” she said. “There’s a domino ef-fect that goes along with not getting enough sleep, from minor health problems to major crises like suicide.”

The current school schedule doesn’t allow stu-dents to get the sleep they need, and no one seems to be making a concentrated effort to change the situation, she said.

“If our kids weren’t getting enough food, we’d make sure they were fed, and this is equally as im-portant,” she said. “They’re starving for sleep.”

McGee feels her pleas to the Paly administration have been largely ignored, despite its stated com-mitment to student health.

“I have experienced chronic frustration in deal-ing with the Palo Alto schools,” she said.

McGee wishes others would realize the impor-tance of teen sleep and add their support. As a

working parent, there is only so much she can do on her own, she said.

“Without the leadership on this issue, it’s pretty much dead in the water,” she said.

The community does seem to be slowly waking up to the connection between adolescent stress and sleep, however. In April, Gunn held two all-school assemblies addressing how sleep needs affect teen-age behavior.

Menlo-Atherton parent Eileen Van Rheenen teamed up with a sleep scientist to bring sleep awareness to the entire school community.

Van Rheenen, the mother of a sophomore, has spent 18 years in health promotion and disease prevention. She became attuned to the teen-sleep situation five years ago when her second-youngest daughter started high school and had to wake up an hour earlier each morning.

Brook Costello and Shelley Rich, both juniors at Menlo-Atherton High School, understand now that drowsiness is a red alert, especially when driving.

Sleep researcher Mark R. Rosekind, Ph.D., made presentations to Menlo-Atherton High School faculty and PTA, as well as surveying students.

“This is really incompatible,” she said. “What happens to teens’ bodies and their schedules is on a diverging path. What will it take to get us to look at the science?”

She later met nationally known sleep re-searcher Mark R. Rosekind, Ph.D., at Stanford University, where her older daughter and his son were starting as freshmen.

“Dr. Rosekind was somebody in the trenches, as he put it, trying to make the sleep thing an issue in high schools,” Van Rheenen said.

Together they planned the mass education of M-A, where Van Rheenen had been trying to alert the administration about the importance of student sleep.

“The more constituencies in an organization that you can educate, the more success you’ll have in the message,” she said. “They just build on each other.”

The scope of the project made it an unprec-edented effort to increase school awareness.

“Nobody has ever done this in a school quite so comprehensively,” Rosekind said.

He gave presentations to both the school faculty and the PTA, but the most important part of the project was reaching students them-selves.

“It’s so important that kids are armed with enough data and information about how sleep affects everyday things in life: performance, depression, ADHD and sports,” Van Rheenen said.

To do that, she called upon the help of stu-dents from Stanford University enrolled in a “Sleep and Dreams” class taught by leading sleep scientist William C. Dement, Ph.D.

Cheri Mah, the class’s head teaching assis-tant, worked with university students to devel-op 30-minute presentations they would make at Menlo-Atherton.

She said the 125 Stanford students were ea-ger “to go back to their high school years and convey the knowledge that they had gained from the course.”

The Stanford teams made 61 presentations to individual classes, educating the school’s entire student population about basic sleep principles.

“We did it in one big blast,” Van Rheenen said.

Rosekind and Van Rheenen also put together two surveys Menlo-Atherton students filled out before and after they watched the presentations to gauge how much they had learned and how much sleep they actually got.

They asked about general sleep patterns, en-vironmental factors that might limit sleep and attitudes toward sleep. The surveys also tested basic knowledge about sleep and safety.

The results revealed that on weekdays, the average Menlo-Atherton student slept 7.5 hours a night — well short of the 9.5 hours sleep re-searchers say adolescents require — and fin-ished the week with an accumulated sleep debt of 8.6 hours. Only one of four students reported being alert in morning classes, and most said homework was the main thing keeping them up at night.

Three out of four students did not consider sleep to be a high priority, but 83 percent said they were “likely to do something different based on the education.”

Van Rheenen sees the project as a major step towards raising a more aware and health-con-scious student population.

“We’re just on the rise of adopting change in our culture, and I hope that M-A will be one of the leaders,” she said. But there is still much to be done.

“We’re now in the phase of next steps: What’s in the future?” she added. “What is the per-sonal responsibility on the part of the students and their families? What’s the organizational responsibility the school has?”

Now she is a member of a committee that will look at student-health issues and work with students to recommend possible policy changes. Van Rheenen hopes the administra-tion will eventually think about pushing back start times.

“If you had a kid sleeping 20 minutes longer a morning, you could be making up some of that sleep debt in even minor alterations,” she said. ■

Menlo-Atherton juniors agree starting school later would help reduce student stress

B rook Costello and Shelley Rich sat side by side in the principal’s office at Menlo-Atherton High School recently, ready to talk about feeling

sleepy.It’s a subject they have learned a lot more about in the

past month.“What didn’t occur to me was that you could make up

sleep,” Costello said. One thing the two juniors have learned is that “drows-

iness is red alert,” especially when driving a vehicle. That’s the mantra a team of Stanford students had stu-dents chant to reinforce the point that driving while drowsy is equivalent to driving after having had two or three beers.

“That really stuck in my mind,” Rich said. “I try not to drive when I’m drowsy now.”

Costello said that she has rearranged her schedule to make sleep a priority since the presentations.

“Now I make the choice to go to bed,” she said. “It’s a new improvement in my life.”

The girls still feel the school administration has a re-sponsibility to alter policies and schedules to encourage better sleep habits.

“Starting class at 9 a.m. has been an ongoing issue for me,” Rich said.

Costello agreed, dismissing the possible problems it would cause for student athletes.

“People who want to get sleep shouldn’t be penal-ized,” she said.

But Rich doubted that later school start times would ever be realized.

“I don’t see it happening when we’re teenagers,” she said. “Our society as a whole kind of doesn’t like change.”

Costello is holding out hope: “Give or take a year or two, they might get their act together,” she said. “I’m definitely not driving my kids to school that early in the morning.”

The two students see start times as only the tip of the iceberg of issues confronting today’s teens.

“You’re talking to the two most stressed-out kids ever,” Rich said.

“I don’t think it’s only high school’s fault — it’s more colleges’ fault,” Costello said. “They’ve become really hard on students.”

“On top of that, teenagers go through a lot of stuff: go-

ing through all of these hormonal and mental changes,” Rich said.

“That plus schoolwork is, like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’ve got to be joking,’” Costello added.

They also think that at times parents contribute to the pressures on teens.

“They shouldn’t push their kids as hard as they are,” Rich said. “That’s part of what’s keeping them up so late.”

Costello believes parents can help their kids keep bet-ter sleep schedules but admitted parental influence only goes so far.

“If (students) don’t want to go to bed, they’re not go-ing to go to bed,” she said.

Both girls hope that more students — and their par-ents, teachers and school administrators — realize the importance of sleep.

“Sleep is one of those things you need to pay more attention to,” Rich said. “There should be something done to get the word out.” ■

Sleep talking

S leep scientists are desperate for the general popula-tion to heed their wake-up call and take the issues surrounding adolescent sleep seriously.

Despite an enormous amount of scientific knowledge that has been collected about sleep over a half century, the general population is almost completely ignorant of the most basic sleep principles — including that kids aren’t getting enough of it, they said.

“Part of that is because of our culture, which is sort of ‘push hard, lose sleep,’” according to longtime sleep researcher Mark R. Rosekind, Ph.D., president and chief scientist of Cupertino-based Alertness Solutions.

“There’s a sort of bravado about that,” he said. “The classic, of course, is ‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead.’”

A growing fear among sleep experts is that America’s high school students, who are leading lives of increased stress, are suffering the effects of sleep deprivation and from adults’ lack of awareness of adolescent sleep needs.

“If you’re getting less than seven hours of sleep, it can impair your performance like you’ve been drinking,” Rosekind said. Missing two hours of sleep a night is the physical equivalent of having a blood-alcohol content of 0.05 percent, or two to three beers, he said.

When it comes to fatigue-related vehicle accidents, teenagers comprise the leading risk group.

Another prominent sleep researcher, William C. De-ment, Ph.D., of Stanford University, has been leading a wake-up crusade against sleep deprivation for years, es-pecially relating to the effects on teenagers.

“All students are really, across the board, curtailing their sleep,” Dement said.

Dement has been conducting “Multiple Sleep Latency” tests to establish “sleep tendency” patterns among Stan-ford and high school students. He has found that students spend most of the day in a state of drowsiness, owing to

a lack of sleep. “Drowsy is, in a sense, you are falling asleep,” he said.

“And if you don’t do something, sleep is literally seconds away.”

Living in a constant state of drowsiness can lead to “progressive impairment” of their ability to function, he added.

Both researchers agree that school work, athletics, men-tal and physical health are all affected by the amount of sleep an adolescent gets and that sleep science shows that adolescents require more sleep than any other segment of the population.

The bottom line is that as children reach adolescence their bodies begin to need at least 9.5 hours of sleep a night, they said.

Teenage biological clocks also begin to “drift later,” meaning that the adolescent wants to go to bed around midnight and wake up about 9 a.m.

High school schedules that start at 8 a.m. or earlier do not allow students to get the amount of sleep they need, even if they manage their schedules responsibly, experts said. The result of continual loss of sleep is accumula-tion of “sleep debt,” a term and concept that Dement pio-neered.

Teens usually make up that debt on weekends, which explains the phenomenon of teenagers sleeping until well past noon.

“To not do so would be disastrous,” Dement warned. Both Dement and Rosekind are increasingly concerned

about the culture in most high schools that regards sleep as optional, especially when sleep interferes with grades or entertainment.

But their warnings are met with skepticism and igno-rance.

“We all sleep, so we think we’re experts. Everyone

thinks their personal experience is fact,” Rosekind said. Eight out of 10 people failed a simple 10-question sur-

vey on basic knowledge of sleep needs conducted by the National Sleep Foundation.

Dement blames the lack of education generally and in schools specifically.

“Sleep teaching is really, really stagnant, and the knowl-edge is encyclopedic,” he said.

Rosekind found that the average medical student spends less than an hour of class time learning about sleep during his or her entire medical education.

“Our doctors aren’t learning about it, and in general people don’t even know the basics,” he said.

To help spread the word at Stanford, Dement teaches a “Sleep and Dreams” class to undergraduates — one of the most popular classes on campus, and one that has given him almost celebrity-status due to his use of humor to make his points.

“I’m willing to be flamboyant in the interest of getting the message to more people,” Dement said.

But even after people are taught about the importance of sleep, they are reluctant to reorganize their lives to get more sleep. American culture in particular is at odds with the hopes of sleep scientists.

“We are explorers and entrepreneurs, always pushing the envelope,” Rosekind said. “There’s a huge bureau-cracy to move around if you want to change it. It’s a huge system you have to shift.”

But Rosekind believes people are beginning to be more receptive to the sleep needs of adolescents and that the gears of change have begun to move.

“Maybe in the last five years, we’re starting to see some cracks” in the solid barriers resisting change, he said. ■

finishBut Cardinal misses first NCAA tourney since 1993 season

by Rick Eymer

O utfielder Michael Taylor had an All-American weekend and that helped Stanford end

the season on a positive note even if it meant no postseason play for the first time in 14 years.

By sweeping host USC over the weekend, the Cardinal (9-15, 28-28) avoided its first losing season in 14 years.

Stanford won its last three series while winning nine of its final 10 games, including the last six in a row. Still, it wasn’t enough to get the Cardinal into the NCAA tour-nament. Stanford last missed the postseason in 1993.

Taylor has hit safely in 12 straight games, a career high. He exploded, just like the rest of his teammates, against the Trojans. Taylor hit .389 (7-for-18) over the three games with two doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI. He finished with a .335 batting average, 12 homers, and a team high 59 RBI.

Menlo School grad Ryan Sea-well’s three-run homer in the 11th inning gave Stanford a 10-7 victory over USC on Friday, while Taylor hit two homer and drove in six runs in one inning during the Cardinal’s 20-13 victory on Saturday.

Taylor had two hits and drove in four runs as Stanford capped an in-credible last couple of weeks with a 10-5 victory on Sunday.

“It’s something for us to build on,” Taylor said. “There are a lot of guys who learned lessons about perse-verance. We were able to preserve and work hard throughout the sea-son, and we were able to get back to .500.”

Taylor’s three-run double in the second gave the Cardinal a five-run advantage on Sunday and starter Austin Yount (3-1), with the help of three relievers, made it stand up.

“I am proud of the way this ball-club finished the season,” Stanford coach Mark Marquess. “They never quit working hard, and the way they played at the end of the season and the results we had in the last few weeks are evidence of that.”

The 1993 team lost three of their final four games to finish 27-28, which remains the only losing sea-son during the Marquess era, and the only losing season since 1964.

This is also the first time since 1923 in which Stanford has finished at an even .500.

Brent Milleville added a career-high matching four hits, including a home run, and drove in two runs as Stanford pounded out 40 runs and 58 hits in the three games against the Trojans (8-16, 27-29), which fin-ished in the cellar. The Cardinal fin-ished eighth, 10 games behind con-


Palo Alto’s Philip MacQuitty be-came the first freshman to win a CCS title in the 3,200.

AQUATIC CORNER . . . Stanford freshman Julia Smit won three events at the Speedo Grand Challenge at the William Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine over the weekend. Smit won the 200 back in 2:15.43, the 200 IM in 2:15.01 and the 400 IM in 4:43.46. Smit also finished fourth in the 100 free in 56.83 and fourth in the 100 back in 1:03.85 during the three-day event which ended Sunday. She was joined in the winner’s cir-cle by Stanford freshman Elaine Breeden, Cardinal junior Brooke Bishop and Stanford grad Tara Kirk. Breeden was a double win-ner, taking the 100 fly in 1:00.30 and the 200 fly in 2:12.13. She also finished second to Smit in the 200 IM in 2:18.75. Bishop won the 100 back in 1:03.34, placed second in the 100 free in 56.26 and was third in the 50 free in 26.17. Palo Alto junior Liv Jensen finished right behind Bishop in 26.61. Kirk won the 100 breast in 1:08.18 and finished third in the 200 breast in 2:29.45. On the men’s side, Stanford senior Andy Grant produced a second-place finish in the 200 back in 58.14 and a fourth-place finish in the 100 back in 58.14. Fellow senior Shaun Phillips was third in the 200 free in 1:50.80 and fourth in the 1,500 in 15:52.83.

OF LOCAL NOTE . . . A pair of incoming Stanford freshmen earned California Interscholastic Federation Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards worth a $2,000 scholarship and a trip to the state capital in June. Sam Finlayson, ofSan Ramon Valley was the boys winner. He’ll be playing water polo for the Cardinal in the fall.

I t was perhaps appropriate that Tori Anthony and Philip Mac-Quitty both have qualified for

the 2007 CIF State Track and Field Championships this weekend at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento.

Anthony, a senior from Castilleja, was the first local athlete to earn a state berth at last Friday’s Central Coast Section finals at Gilroy High. She set a meet record in the girls’ pole vault at 13-8.

MacQuitty, a freshman from Palo Alto High, was the last local athlete to earn a state berth when he set a CCS freshman record while win-ning the 3,200 in a personal best of 9:11.99.

While Anthony has to vault Friday in order to qualify for Saturday’s fi-nals, she’s a virtual lock to accom-plish that as the national leader in her event. MacQuitty, meanwhile, already has qualified for Saturday’s finals since no preliminary races are held in his event.

Both will be chasing special marks this weekend in Sacramento.

For Anthony, her quest is quite significant — the national prep out-door record of 14-0. She has been flirting with that mark all season, just missing once again at the CCS meet with a few close attempts.

“I’m confident to make 13-8, 13-

10, whatever,” said Anthony, who has been clearing 14-1 in practice. “But, the takeoff has to be better. Once I get that down, everything else comes together.”

It was only a year ago when An-thony was attempting to be con-sistent in the mid-13-foot range. This season, her goal was to take attempts at the national outdoor re-cord as much as possible. She set the U.S. prep indoor record during the winter when she vaulted 14-2 1/2 in Seattle. The national outdoor mark is 14-0, a height Anthony has come close to clearing on numerous occa-sions this season.

“Hopefully, we’re not going to get stuck at 14-1,” she said. “I just need to get lucky one of these times.”

At this point, getting the national record is a mental game for An-thony.

“This meet was an improvement over not getting wrapped up in 14-1,” she explained. “For me, I need to pretend it’s not the national record. It’s just another bar. It’s not that much higher than 13-10.”

Anthony cleared 13-10 earlier this year to establish her personal outdoor best. That height also is the state and national outdoor lead this season. She likely sailed over that when she cleared 13-8 to break her



ference champion Arizona State.Stanford and the Sun Devils are

tied for the best composite record in the Pac-10 since 1999 at 135-85. The Sun Devils also won their first conference title since a three-way tie with Stanford and UCLA in 2000.

Toby Gerhart and Cord Phelps equaled their career highs with three hits, while Sean Ratliff and Adam Sorgi each had a pair of hits.

The late-season offensive output produced a team batting average of .306, its highest since 2004. Stan-ford has hit .300 or better in 10 of the past 12 years.

The team ERA of 6.01, however, was the highest in recorded history, which dates to 1958. The previous high was 5.36 in 1979.

At the beginning of May, none of this seemed likely for the then-slumping Cardinal. Stanford started hitting the ball better, the pitching tightened up a little and it’s made a big difference.

“We were just talking about how unfortunate it is that we’re not in contention for the postseason,’ Tay-lor said.”We feel like we’re firing on all cylinders.”

Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA and Oregon State earned berths in the 64-team tournament and will be playing in a four-team regional this weekend.

Track and field Stanford’s Feranmi Okanlami,

Erica McLain, Arianna Lambie and Teresa McWalters each won an event at the NCAA West Regional meet at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. over the weekend to lead a contingent of Cardinal athletes who qualified for the NCAA championship meet in Sacramento next weekend.

Okanlami won the men’s triple jump with a leap of 50-7 1-4. He’ll be joined at the NCAA meet in the event by freshman Richard Sher-man, who doubles as a wide re-ceiver in football. Sherman finished fourth.

McLain went 44-8 to win the tri-ple jump. She also finished second in the long jump with a 20-10.

Lambie went 4:14.05 to win the women’s 1,500 meter race while McWalters won the 5,000 in a time of 16:04.92.

Janice Davis (100) Lindsay Allen (3,000 steeplechase) and Lauren Centrowitz (1,500) also qualified for the big meet.

Russell Brown and Garrett Heath finished second and third, respec-tively, in the men’s 1,500, and will also advance along with Michael Robertson (discus), Michael Gar-cia (800) and Graham Hoste (pole vault).

Women’s golf Stanford ended a successful sea-

son with a fifth place finish in the NCAA championships in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The Cardinal shot its best round of the finals with a 294 in windy and rainy conditions Friday.

Stanford finished with a 45-over-par 1,197 in the four-day event.

Duke became the second school in NCAA history to win three straight women’s golf titles, holding off Purdue by 15 strokes for its fifth team title in nine years, shooting a 2-over 290 to finish at 18-over 1,170

on LPGA International’s Legends Course. Duke and Arizona State (1993-95) are the only schools to win three straight titles.

Senior Lauren Todd led the way for Stanford, finishing ninth with a four-round score of 8-over-par 296.

Junior Mari Chun recorded a top 20 finish, tying for 17th with an 11 over 299, while senior Jennifer Tangtiphaiboontana tied for 26th in her final collegiate tournament, recording a 13 over 301.

Women’s tennis Stanford freshman Lindsay Bur-

dette won her first three singles matches in the NCAA singles tour-nament in Athens, Ga., and was the last Cardinal standing.

The impressive rookie season that Burdette had compiled came to an abrupt end Saturday at the NCAA Championships when Burdette dropped a 6-0, 6-2 decision to top-ranked Audra Cohen of Miami.

Burdette’s loss to Cohen ends a late-season surge that saw Bur-dette reach the singles quarterfinals Burdette closes out the year at 31-5 overall and 18-2 in dual-match play. Her 31 victories are the most by any Cardinal player this year.

In doubles, Burdette and senior Anne Yelsey were defeated 6-3, 6-4 by Clemson’s Ani Mijacika and Fed-erica van Adrichem in the quarter-finals. Burdette and Yelsey finished 23-8 on the year as the Cardinal’s top doubles team.

Also on Friday, Stanford’s Celia Durkin fell to Cohen, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, in a match that could have set up a Durkin-Burdette match Saturday.

Stanford senior Theresa Logar also lost a heartbreaker, 6-0, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), to seventh-seeded Natalie Frazier of Georgia.

Logar concludes her season with a 30-11 overall mark and her impres-sive career at 140-28.

Men’s golf Stanford finished seventh at the

West Regional in Tempe to earn a spot in this weekend’s NCAA Cham-pionships, which begin on Wednes-day at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Course in Williamsburg, Va.

The seventh-place finish was Stanford’s lowest of the season, which spans 12 tournaments. The Cardinal won six team titles, was runner-up twice and in the top five in two other events.

Senior Zack Miller won the most individual titles, while freshman Jo-seph Bramlett finished among the top 10 the most often.

Miller won the title at The Pres-tige and tied for the title at both the Gopher Invitational and Corde Valle Classic.

Bramlett tied for the title at Puerto Rico and recorded seven top 10 fin-ishes.

Women’s crew Stanford’s rowing varsity eight

boat finished fourth in the Petite Final of the NCAA Rowing Cham-pionships on Sunday at Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Men’s basketball Jarrett Mann, a 6-foot-5 small

forward out of Middletown, Del., gave Stanford a verbal commitment on Saturday, The Bootleg.com re-ported.

Mann averaged 21 points a game for Middletown High during his ju-nior year.■

Palo Alto junior Mike Scott made the most of his final chance to qualify for the state meet with a third place in the triple jump.

Stanford roundup(continued from page 26)

own meet record of 13-6 set in the semifinals a week earlier.

“I’m happy jumping big at 13-8,” Anthony said. “I will get it (the na-tional record).”

Long after Anthony defended her CCS title, Palo Alto’s MacQuit-ty got his first one. But, it wasn’t easy. The freshman trailed most of the race, as far back as fifth, and looked out of the running entering the final lap.

But, with 200 meters to go, the lead pack suddenly bunched up and MacQuitty saw a chance to make his move.

“I tried not to go too fast and save it for the last 200,” said MacQuitty, running in the fastest race of his life. “They were all great runners, so I didn’t know if I could overtake them.”

But MacQuitty did, charging off the final turn in first place and holding off his challengers to finish with his lifetime best despite being spiked early in the race.

“I was going for 9:12, because I knew it was the freshman record for CCS,” MacQuitty said. “So, I was going for that.”

MacQuitty actually achieved more than that. In addition to surpassing the previous freshman best of 9:18.6 by Carlos Carrasco of Mt. Pleasant in 1976, MacQuitty became the first freshman ever to win a CCS title in the boys’ 3,200.

In the past 10 years, only two runners have produced three faster times than MacQuitty’s 9:11.99 — Menlo-Atherton’s Jeremy Mineau (9:01.54 in 2004, 9:11.11 in ‘03) and Brett Gotcher of Aptos (9:09.78 in 2002).

“It feels great,” MacQuitty said afterward. “It’s one of the best things I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m glad I got to state. It’s just one step at a time. Now I can shoot for a 9:05 or some-thing like that.”

MacQuitty is still well off the Palo Alto record of 8:56.11 (converted) set by Mike McCollum at the 1981 state meet, but McCollum ran that his senior year and MacQuitty’s ca-reer is just getting under way.

Mike Scott’s career in the triple jump also is just getting under way after the Palo Alto junior qualified for the state meet with a third-place mark of 45-4 — finishing just one inch ahead of fourth place.

“I’m glad I got to state in some-thing,” Scott said, who figured to have better opportunities in the 400 relay and high jump.

In the relay, Scott helped the team of Daniel Jones, Trenton Hart and Will Frazier record a season best of 43.09, but the Vikings finished fifth and out of the money. In the high jump, Scott came in as the No. 1 seed with a best of 6-6. All he needed to was equal that height to earn an automatic qualifying berth, yet finished fourth at 6-4 on more misses.

“The higj jump was my main focus, but I kind of over-estimated everyone,” Scott said. “That didn’t work out well. In the 400 relay I was not feeling it. I was ready to leave (after missing out in the high jump). The triple jump was my last chance to go to state.”

While Scott is a virtual neophyte in the event and gets by on raw tal-ent, he responded to challenges

CCS track(continued from page 26)

throughout the competition and produced his best mark in the fifth round.

“It was either go hard or go home,” he said. “I just flushed those other events out of my mind.”

Joining Anthony, MacQuitty and Scott at the state meet this weekend will be the Menlo-Atherton girls’ 400 relay team of Caprice Powell, Keianna Talton, Christina Dixon and Dominique Greene. That four-some ran 48.20 to finish third. Greene turned it on in her anchor leg, passing one runner to gain the coveted third and final qualifying berth.

Talton’s health in recent weeks was in question, due to a quadriceps injury. She warmed up before the race for 1 1/2 hours and was ready to go.

A handful of other local athletes, meanwhile, just missed out on mak-ing it to the state meet.

Palo Alto’s Hart finished fifth in the boys’ 100 in 11.22, Gunn’s Jona-than Chu was seventh in the boys’ 3,200 in 9:27.69, and the Paly 1,600 relay finished fourth in a season best of 3:22.69.

For the local girls, Pinewood freshman Angela Gradiska was fourth in the 100 (12.53) and fifth in the 200 (25.32), Paly seniors Alicia Ivanhoe (seventh) and Renata Cum-mins (10th) missed out in the 1,600; Gunn sophomore Allegra Mayer was eighth in the 3,200 (11:11.60); Gunn’s Kelsey Feeley was seventh in the 800 (2:19.57) after being a late addition; Menlo-Atherton ju-nior Kim O’Donnell was sixth in the 300 hurdles (46.67) and eighth in the 100 hurdles (after hitting a hurdle); and Gunn freshman Sunny Margerum registered a career best of 17-1 1/2 in the long jump to finish sixth. She was the only underclass-men in the field.■
