hanks to some expensive new drawings, visualizing what high speed rail will look like in Mountain View just got easier. A $100,000 contract approved by the City Council on March 23 has already produced six preliminary designs for high speed rail crossings at Rengstorff and Castro streets in Mountain View. The drawings are by Freedman, Tung & Sasaki, a San Francisco design firm that designed much of Castro Street’s redevelopment. Council members were excited to finally see the drawings on Monday and Tuesday, which they said were unusual for a city to have this early in the project. City officials hope that the California High Speed Rail Authority will take note of the community’s preferred option. “I love the trench alternative,” said council member Laura Macias as she pointed to one of the drawings likely to be the favorite, according to input from residents at a May 3 hearing.

Castro Street is raised seven feet to allow the four tracks to go underneath in a trench. Half of the trench is covered, with the downtown’s light rail stop sitting above the trench along with a greenway connecting Castro Street to Rengstorff Park, which Macias happily pointed out. The Caltrain platform is placed underground. “These are conceptual images to try to help the community and the City Council visualize the various high-speed rail track alternatives,” said public works director Mike Fuller. “They are based on very preliminary information from the California High Speed Rail Authority. As we get new information from the Rail Authority, we will adjust our images.” There are three basic design options drawn for the Castro Street and Rengstorff Avenue crossings: the tracks could run on an elevated platform, in a partially covered tunnel underneath the streets, or the streets could be See HSR, page 14

DA’s race is a wild ride INCUMBENT CARR AND PROSECUTOR ROSEN TRADE ALLEGATIONS OVER ETHICS, CAPABILITY By Sue Dremann

he fierce re-election battle between Santa Clara County District Attorney Dolores Carr and her employee, prosecutor Jeff Rosen, has become one of the most hotly contested in the June 8 election, splitting powerful supporters between the incumbent official and upstart litigator. Carr’s four-year tenure has been scarred by a series of embarrassing gaffes

that have led detractors to question her judgment and ethics. She was criticized when her husband, a retired police lieutenant, became a paid consultant for a murder victim’s family in a case Carr’s office would eventually prosecute. But her husband consulted on a civil action against the bank where the victim was killed and had nothing to do with the criminal case, Carr said during a recent interview.

In April 2008, she was accused of intervening in a case on behalf of a defense attorney who contributed to her 2006 election campaign — which she has denied. Rosen has seized on those criticisms, once calling her “un-American” during a candidates’ forum because of her rare boycott of a judge whom she said was biased against prosecutors. But Carr isn’t taking the attacks complacently. Rosen was taken to task for

prosecutorial misconduct in a trial by an appeals court eight years ago, Carr said during a March campaign debate. She recently filed a lawsuit against the wording of Rosen’s ballot statement. And she accused his campaign of taking an illegal in-kind $17,000 campaign donation from the San Jose Mercury News, after Rosen used the paper’s stories on his Web site without authorization.

Asked in Downtown Mountain View. Pictures and interviews by Ellen Huet.

Do you think the High Speed Rail will be a good or bad thing for the Bay Area? “It’s pretty expensive, and it’ll take so long to build that it will probably be outdated by the time it’s put in. I can’t image it’d be a good idea with our current state debt.” Steve Young, Mountain View

“It’s that it’s going to create jobs, but people aren’t going to use it. Plus, we already have a huge state deficit.” William Schwartz, Anaheim

“Overall, I think it’ll be a good idea. I would probably use it pretty often. It’ll be faster, which will be nice since it takes a lot of time to fly or drive to Southern California.” Mark Major, Mountain View

School district cuts, reduces classified staff ANONYMOUS 11TH-HOUR DONATION SAVES TWO LIBRARY ASSISTANTS

MV WHISMAN SUPERINTENDENT LEAVES JULY 1 FOR NEW JOB

by Martin Sanchez

he Mountain View-Los Altos high school board agreed May 10 to lay off three of the district’s classified employees and reduce the work hours of six more for the 2010-2011 school year. The jobs were cut in an attempt to balance the district’s budget, which has suffered from reduced state funding and decreasing property tax revenues, according to district superintendent Barry Groves. The district’s classified employees include instructional assistants, clerical staff, maintenance workers and food service professionals. The staff reductions were chosen last month by a budget advisory committee made up of teachers, administrators and classified staff, Groves said. At the meeting, classified employees’ union rep Chris Pedersen asked trustees to vote against the proposed staff reductions. Pedersen is a member of the California School Employees Association, which represents the state’s classified school employees. “This year it was a minimal cut to staff, last year it was a minimal cut to staff. I don’t know if you’re familiar with horticulture, but you can only cut a living entity so much before you start to do damage,” he said. After the meeting, Pedersen said future budget reductions should be distributed equally between teachers, administrators and classified staff. He also said letting classified staff make budget decisions as a group would allow them to make required cuts while keeping as many employees as possible. “There’s a high standard here, and to maintain that takes the appropriate staffing levels ... we want to get in front of this and have a say in our own destiny, not have it said for us,” he said. The proposal underwent one eleventh-hour change. The district received an anonymous, lastminute $56,000 donation to fund library assistants’ salaries that had been included in earlier staff reducSee MVLA LAYOFFS, page 8

Timothy Collins, KleenSpeed President and Founder, shows off his racecars which are electrically powered. Collins is in the process of creating affordable consumer electric vehicles.

All-electric car for $20,000 MOFFETT START-UP AIMS TO BUILD VEHICLE FOR THE MASSES BY 2011 By Daniel DeBolt

rmed with expertise gained from pushing electric car technology to the limit in race cars, NASA Amesbased Kleenspeed is announcing plans to develop an affordable electric passenger car for mass production. Taking the company in this new direction is CEO Timothy Collins, who bought out his partner Jerry Kroll last year. Though design details are under wraps, he says the goal is to build a $20,000

car by 2011 that can go 200 miles on a charge (the battery pack would be paid for separately in a monthly lease). A prototype is in design, and the company plans to unveil by end of the summer this year. It’s been dubbed the “Kleenspeed project.” “We are in the final stages completing the design,” Collins said. “But the proof is in the pudding. It will probably be two to three months before we have a prototype ready to announce.” If electric cars are the future, then Kleenspeed is ahead of the

game. “The advantage of testing electric vehicle systems in a racing car is you’re pushing them as far as they’ll go,” Collins said. The company’s “crown jewel” is an electric race car based on an IMSA lights racer. Last July it set the electric car lap record at Laguna Seca in Monterey at 1 minute, 42 seconds. But the company says that doesn’t come close to the performance potential for electric race cars. A 200-mileSee KLEENSPEED, page 10

aurice Ghysels, the superintendent of the Mountain View Whisman School District, is leaving to become the chief schools officer for the Santa Clara County Office of Education, it was announced on Wednesday, May 12.

Ghysels begins the new job on July 1. The branch Ghysels will head runs multiple alternative schools and provides services for 9,000 students on 160 sites, including programs for the disabled, the county’s juvenile halls and children in Head Start preschool, and services for the children of migrant workers, said Larry Slonaker, the public information officer for the county office.

Report: NASA Ames boosts Bay Area’s economy By Daniel DeBolt

he United States economy gets a hefty return on every tax dollar spent by NASA Ames, which generates $877 million a year for the Bay Area’s economy alone, according to a new report. Mountain View’s NASA Ames Research Center hired the firm Bay Area Economics to study its “economic output,” which was found to total $1.3 billion nationally, with the potential of growing to $7.1 billion in the next 15 years. BAE found that Ames has the

potential to support 42,000 jobs nationally if plans for building a massive research park at Ames follow through, more than quadrupling the number of jobs it currently supports nationwide. Taxpayers are getting their money’s worth from the $750 million annual budget at Ames, according to the report. “Each dollar spent by NASA Ames generates $2.49 of total economic output throughout the United States, approximately $1.78 of economic output within California and $1.68 in the Bay Area,” the report concludes.

Ames Director S. Pete Worden said Ames “stimulates economic growth by employing scientists and engineering professionals, promoting technology innovation, and preparing the workforce of the future.” The economic output can be partly attributed to what the report calls a “major success story” at NASA Ames Research Park (NRP), which is home to 70 private companies partnering with NASA. Most have taken up residence in the former Navy buildings at Moffett Field, which Ames took over from the Navy

in 1994. Those businesses cover 675,000 square feet of existing building space. The report predicts that upon full build-out of the NRP in the next 15 years, Ames will be even more of an “extraordinary economic force” generating another 21,300 permanent jobs for the Bay Area and 33,800 nationwide. Ames itself now has only 2,500 civil servants and contract employees and supports 5,300 jobs in the Bay Area. V

he City Council came face to face with a half dozen medical marijuana users Tuesday who pleaded with the council to not take away a convenient source of medical marijuana in Mountain View. One of them was Mountain View resident Richard Ritter, 63, who said he had been paying $100 for cab rides to San Jose to buy his medical marijuana before Buddy’s Cannabis Patient Collective opened a month ago without any permits from the city. It might be an illegal pot club, but Ritter and others local medical marijuana users say that it makes life easier to have a dispensary near by. Ritter walks with a cane and doesn’t own a car. “It’s the only medicine that works,” said the 63-year-old Ritter. He said he was a NASA Ames test pilot whose helicopter crashed into a Fremont power line in 1981 and nearly killed him. He said he broke dozens of bones and has a frozen hip, among other sources of pain. Ritter may have to resume those $100 cab rides again soon. Upon direction of the City Council, the Bayshore Parkway collective faces

an injunction request filed by the city in court last week that could shut down the dispensary at the end of the month. While the City Council agrees that medical marijuana dispensaries should be allowed in the city, Mayor Ronit Bryant and a majority of the council believe that Buddy’s should be shut down while the city creates appropriate regulations for dispensaries. The city had passed a temporary ban on pot dispensaries in Mountain View just weeks before Buddy’s opened. Though the owner of Buddy’s, former corporate attorney Matt Lucero, said he would take the city all the way to state Supreme Court, he said Tuesday in a phone interview that he wanted to cooperate with the city if possible. “It is not our intention to litigate,” Lucero said. “Our purpose here is to help people.” Directing his remarks at the City Council, he said, “We’re together on this, let’s find common ground. Tell us the conditions, we’ll work with them.” Stanford psychiatry professor Roy King and his wife Rebecca Forest, Mountain View residents, spoke on behalf of Buddy’s on Tuesday. Forest has a seizure dis-

order which she said has caused the painful ruptured disc and slipped vertebrae in her spine after repeated falls. Using narcotics like Vicodin to kill the pain has too many side effects, such as liver damage, and are much more addictive, Forest said. She has been using medical marijuana for a year. King and Forest said they felt safe visiting Buddy’s, which is in an industrial neighborhood near Shoreline Park’s western entrance. Other dispensaries in Oakland or San Jose seem less safe, they said. Employees of the dispensary — there are a dozen total — pleaded for their jobs and for the patients they said they had been helping. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had,” said one of the employees. A man who said he works at Microsoft’s Mountain View campus also spoke in support of the dispensary, saying he treats his sleeping problems and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from his abusive childhood with medical marijuana. “It allows me to hold down my job,” the man said.

Angela Lyon named new Stevenson principal by Martin Sanchez

ongtime Mountain View educator Angela Lyon has been named the new principal of Stevenson Elementary School in Mountain View. The Mountain View Whisman school board approved Lyon’s new position last Thursday, May 6, at its bi-monthly meeting. Lyon will take office in August, when current principal Steven Gilbert it set to retire. “I want to help them explicitly define their approach,” she

said of Stevenson school’s educational philosophy. The school is home to the district’s Parent, Angela Lyon Child, Teacher Program (PACT), an educational approach featuring strong parent involvement in the classroom. Lyon will have to quickly build effective working relationships with the school’s teachers and parents, she said. “It’s a very strong community.

MV Whisman board OKs huge school renovation plan

I want to get in there and get to know people and let them get to know me,” she said. Lyon has worked in the Mountain View Whisman School District for the past 14 years. Most recently, she has been an instructional facilitator at Monta Loma elementary, where she handles teacher coaching and professional development. She has also taught kindergarten, first grade, and English as a second language (ESL) classes for students at various grade levels.

he Mountain View Whisman school board approved a $422 million, 10-year plan that calls for new construction, renovations and improvements at the district’s elementary and middle school campuses. The school board voted unanimously to approve the Student Facilities Improvement Plan at its May 6 meeting. After the vote, trustees debated whether to ask voters for a school construction bond to help fund part of the facilities plan on the upcoming November ballot. The board has an Aug. 6 deadline to qualify a bond measure for that ballot. Chief among the plan’s proposed renovations is the

Man arrested on charge of unlawful sex with teen A 22-year-old Mountain View man was arrested May 5 for allegedly having sex with a teenage girl who was with him in a hot tub at a San Carlos home earlier the same day. Officers responded to the 1300 block of Laurel Street to meet with a 15-year-old girl who told police the sexual situation had occurred earlier at a friend’s home in the 800 block of Bauer

Drive, according to San Carlos police. The teenager told police she went into a hot tub at her friend’s house and was eventually joined by the suspect, who she had apparently never met, but was later identified as Mountain View resident Baron Josef Ashton Von Knorring. The victim reported that Von Knorring allegedly made advanc-

es and then had sex with her. She said she left the Jacuzzi and reported the act to her friends, who called the police. Von Knorring was arrested in the 600 block of Elm Street at about 11 a.m. and booked at San Mateo County jail for sexual penetration and unlawful sexual intercourse.

construction of two-story buildings for classroom and library facilities at most of the district’s campuses. These renovations would help prepare for a projected district-wide enrollment increase of roughly 2,000 students from 2008 to 2013, district officials said. Another project would add single-story buildings to replace existing portable classrooms at the district’s elementary schools. According to a draft of the district’s improvement plan, portable classrooms are susceptible to mold, mildew and termite damage. Further planned renovations aim to bring various district facilities up to current health and safety standards, update classrooms’ technological capabilities, and improve energy efficiency. V

Rosen said he did not know it is illegal to post copyrighted articles from a newspaper’s site, he told the online news site San Jose Inside. He is questioning Carr’s use of 21 billboards paid for with state money on behalf of the state’s campaign against workers’ compensation fraud, to which she added her name. Carr has denied the billboards have anything to do with her election campaign.

Amid the verbal brawling, both candidates claim they want to reform the District Attorney’s office. Carr, 57, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge for six years, was elected after a three-year expose in 2006 by the Mercury News, “Tainted Trials, Stolen Justice,” which uncovered widespread judicial, defense and prosecutorial failures and misconduct that the newspaper asserted deprived defendants of fair trials in Santa Clara County. “I left the Superior Court bench to change the culture and to have

tor who puts the needs of students first,” said Superintendent Weis in the announcement. “He has built a successful team at Mountain View Whisman that has consistently focused on continuous improvement and customer service. We are thrilled to be able to bring him to the County Office of Education.” Weis credited Ghysels with increases in Mountain View Whisman’s test scores and “widespread improvement among Hispanic students and students who are English learners.” Ghysels was not available for comment before press time. Part of Ghysels’ legacy at Mountain View Whisman was his implementation in local schools of a corporate organizational method that originated in Japan called “Continuous Improvement.” Continuous Improvement encourages never-ending improvement in a

product and is often called the key to the success of Japanese auto makers. Ghysels believes it helps teachers, students and parents set measurable and attainable goals. It was announced that Ghysels was looking for work outside of the district last November after he told the Voice and the community that he had been having a romantic relationship with Landels school principal Carmen Mizell. Both were married and were the process of going through divorces last year. Because principals typically report to the superintendent, the district’s reporting structure was altered to avoid a conflict of interest. The announcement of Ghysels relationship with Mizell caused a backlash among some in the community, while others stated their continuing support for the two. Craig Goldman, Chief Financial Officer for Mountain View Whisman, is expected to take over as the district’s superintendent under an agreement announced in November by the school board president at the time, Phil Palmer.

Steve Hope, the district’s assistant superintendent for personnel, said two senior office assistants and one computer support provider will lose their jobs. Two senior office assistants will have their weekly hours reduced, Hope said, along with three instructional supervisors and one child care supervisor at the adult education program.

ASSAILANT BEATS MAN WITH STICK, FLEES An unknown assailant beat a 26-year-old Mountain View man with a wooden stick on the night of May 6, in a Castro Street parking lot, police say. The assailant rushed towards the victim as he was getting into his car behind Sonica Music Company at 260 Castro Street at 10:26 p.m., Mountain View Police Department spokeswoman Liz Wylie said. The assailantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face was covered, she said. The assailant hit the victim with the stick once and punched him immediately afterward, Wylie said. The victim fell out of his car after being struck and the assailant fled on foot down Bryant Street without taking anything, she said. Several bystanders witnessed the attack, Wylie said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of whom called 911. Police were unable to locate the assailant after the attack. The victim received minor injuries, Wylie said. He was transported to a nearby hospital but was released without receiving treatment, she said. Wylie described the suspect as roughly 6 feet tall and of medium build. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martin Sanchez

LAB TECH DODGES CRUTCH-THROWING EL CAMINO PATIENT A Milipitas man was left without a leg to stand on the evening of Monday, May 3, after being cited for battery for allegedly throwing one of his crutches at a medical technician at a Mountain View hospital. The 22-year-old technician claims Milipitas resident Ricky King, 53, verbally abused staff at El Camino Hospital after being transported there via ambulance, Mountain View Police Department spokeswoman Liz Wylie said. King was asked to leave the hospital, Wylie said, and he allegedly threw the crutch as he was being escorted from the premises. The technician submitted a request for a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest to the Mountain View Police Department at 5:15 p.m., Wylie said. Police transported King to another hospital where he was admitted for treatment, she said. Once he had been installed in the hospital, the officers cited King for battery on a physician, she said. The technician was not injured by the thrown crutch, Wylie said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martin Sanchez

THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY BEGINS THIRD FIVE-YEAR REVIEW OF CLEANUP AT THE CTS PRINTEX SUPERFUND SITE The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun the third Âżve-year review of cleanup actions undertaken at the former CTS Printex Superfund Site (Site) located in the City of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California. The review will evaluate whether the cleanup actions for the Site remain protective of human health and the environment. THE REVIEW PROCESS

When EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleanup remedy leaves some waste in place or the remedy will take longer than Âżve years to complete, the Superfund law requires an evaluation of the protectiveness of the remedial systems every Âżve years until the site has been cleaned up to allow unrestricted use. The purpose of this Âżve-year review is to understand how the remedy is operating and to measure the progress towards achieving the Siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleanup objectives. SpeciÂżcally, EPA will look at all information related to the Site and evaluate monitoring activities and land use changes as well as ensure all legal documents regarding restrictions on groundwater use and other potential exposure pathways are working as intended. We will also review any changes in scientiÂżc knowledge or regulatory status of the remaining site contaminants. Upon completion of the review, a copy of the Âżnal report will be placed in the local information repository listed below and a notice will appear announcing the completion of the Five-Year Review Report in the local paper. SITE HISTORY The CTS Printex Superfund Site comprises a number of properties and is situated in the northwest corner of the Santa Clara Valley, between the south end of San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains, in the City of Mountain View, California. CTS Printex, Inc. operated a printed circuit board manufacturing facility within a 5Â˝-acre portion of the area bounded by Plymouth, Colony and Sierra Vista streets from 1970 to early 1985. Metals and degreasing compounds (e.g., organic solvents) were discharged to soil and groundwater during CTS Printexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing operations. Investigation and remediation, including soil excavation and groundwater extraction, were undertaken by CTS Corporation and Nearon Enterprises between 1985 and 1996. The Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Final Site Cleanup Requirements (SCR) Order No. 91-081 for the site in 1991. A Record of Decision (ROD) was issued by EPA in July 1991. The Site was transferred to EPA in 2006.

The remedial action objective stated in the SCR and ROD is to reduce existing and future risks to human health and to the environment by preventing the migration of chemicals in groundwater and prohibiting the use of shallow groundwater for drinking water. The down-gradient portion of the Site bounded by Plymouth Street, Sierra Vista Avenue and Highway 101 still requires additional monitoring, investigation and possibly remediation for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater. However, residual concentrations of VOCs in groundwater have been decreasing and are anticipated to continue to decrease over time. The property that once housed the manufacturing facility has been redeveloped as a residential condominium complex known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gables Endâ&#x20AC;? with the following new street addresses: 1901-1950 Cambridge Drive, 841-862 Avery Drive, 1900-1929 Aberdeen Lane, 851-863 Donovan Way and 1901-1941 Newbury Drive. The Gables End developer has prepared a risk management plan, recorded a restrictive covenant and implemented certain mitigation measures (e.g., vapor barriers and sub-slab depressurization systems) to address potential VOC concerns through the vapor intrusion pathway. CLEANUP OBJECTIVES AND PROGRESS In 1986, CTS Printex, Inc. decontaminated buildings and excavated soil from under those buildings, sending the wastes to an EPA-approved storage facility. The company also excavated the neutralization sump between 1985 and 1986 and backÂżlled the area with gravel, clay and asphalt. The soil and groundwater was cleaned up to remove residual sources of contamination on the former manufacturing area of the Site. However, low levels of VOCs remain in the groundwater. Over the next year, EPA will be assessing the vapor intrusion pathway, investigating down-gradient areas of the Site and proposing a plan to remediate groundwater and, if necessary, any vapor intrusion risk identiÂżed. Risk management measures have been installed to allow residential development on the former manufacturing area of the Site, and concentrations of VOCs in groundwater are continuing to decrease over time. Monitoring of groundwater in this area will continue until VOC concentrations reach cleanup levels. Sub-slab depressurization systems with membranes have been installed in all residential buildings located in the Gables End development to protect future residents from potential migration of VOC vapors from the underlying groundwater. Concentrations of VOCs that exist in groundwater downgradient of this area may require additional monitoring, investigation and, potentially, remediation. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT EPA is interested in hearing from the public. If you have any issues or concerns about the CTS Printex cleanup plan, and particularly if you have direct knowledge that could affect our review, we would like to talk with you. Please contact Raymond Chavira, EPA Remedial Project Manager. If you would like to receive future fact sheets, please contact Vicki Rosen.

ilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. It was hard for her to come to the Community Services Agency, the Mountain View nonprofit group that runs the food bank she visits, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to come with my sunglasses and a hat, because the people handing out food went to my church. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to being the one handing out food at church,â&#x20AC;? she said. Marie said her savings have nearly run out. She has been receiving unemployment benefits for the past two years, but those checks will stop coming in two months, she said. Food banks like CSA allow her to feed her family without borrowing money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many people who go to bed at night with that debt hanging over their heads. I think that the miracle of my family is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not gone into debt,â&#x20AC;? she said. Marie said she has spent the past two years looking for jobs through former colleagues, and doing volunteer work for nonprofit groups in the hopes of being promoted to a paying position. Neither approach has worked, she said. She has significant personal responsibilities as well. As an only child, she runs errands, cooks and provides transportation for her parents, who are unable to care for themselves. She also cares for her 16-yearold daughter, who has struggled with developmental disabilities since a childhood problem restricted oxygen flow to her growing brain, Marie said. She tries to teach her daughter skills that will help her find a job when she graduates from high school but worries about what her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future holds. Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter helps walk the family dogs, cook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the Food Channel,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and care

for Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents. In spite of the challenges her daughter faces, Marie said she is grateful for the time they spend together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughter is healthy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lucky mom,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her two older children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a son and another daughter -â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have already left home. Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-husband does not contribute to the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances, so her children have had to find ways of paying for their own college educations, she said. Marie struggled to find career advice and financial support when she was laid off, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have been so selfsufficient for years, it can be hard to reach out for help,â&#x20AC;? she said. Marie said she has spent a lot of time researching support groups like the Community Services Agency, but has had some serendipitous moments as well. By chance, she discovered NOVA, a local career development agency through which she has been taking career development and computer skills classes for the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sound religious, but I just heard â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Go to Foothill College and just show up.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I knock on this door, and this woman says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can I help you with anything?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I started to cry and I told her my story. She said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You walked into the right place!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I walked into NOVA!â&#x20AC;? she said. She finished one of NOVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career certification courses last week, she said. She hopes that certificate will help her find work as an office manager again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In spite of all the obstacles, there is always something to work towards,â&#x20AC;? she said. Churches and nonprofits like NOVA and the Community Services Agency can provide huge benefits to everybody who finds themselves in financial trouble, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I finally got rid of my pride, I realized how many resources are out there to help â&#x20AC;&#x201D; emotionally, financially, spiritually,â&#x20AC;? Marie said. V

aint Francis High School student Hailey Kehoe prefers shopping the farmers’ market to cruising the mall. She reads “Cook’s Illustrated” magazine instead of “Seventeen.” Her favorite TV program is “Iron Chef.” At 16, Hailey has her eyes on the prize. She wants to be a chef. It started early for Hailey. When she was a toddler, she didn’t watch “Barney.” It was “No, mommy, I want to watch the ‘bam’ man” — referring to celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse’s TV program. When starting to read, Hailey pored over the labels on food packages, says her mother, Betsy Kehoe. Did this child come from a family of foodies? No. “I’m no gourmet, but I’m learning from her,” says Betsy. Hailey lives in Atherton with her parents, Patrick and Betsy Kehoe. She graduated from Nativity School and is a junior at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, where she plays varsity water polo. She plans to attend culinary school after graduation, and visited the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts in Providence, Rhode Island, during spring break. This summer she will attend week-long “Career Camps” at both schools. Since the water polo season ended at St. Francis last fall, Hailey has concentrated on cooking. She cooks dinner for her parents every night (her mom does the dishes) and shops for food on Saturdays at the farmers’ market at College of San Mateo. “It’s my favorite place to go in the whole world. You can find every specialty food in season.” Hailey Kehoe, caterer Hailey launched a catering business, called Culinartist, in January. It came about when a friend of her mother sampled appetizers Hailey

had made for a Christmas party. Crickette Brown Glad was so impressed she asked Hailey if she would like to cater a dinner party at her home in Hillsborough. There was a special requirement, however: The menu had to be gluten-free. A gluten-free diet is completely free of foods containing gluten, such as wheat, barley and oats. Some of the most frequently used grains and starches in a gluten-free diet are corn, potatoes, rice, tapioca, buckwheat, millet and quinoa. Hailey says she researched everything she could find about gluten-free foods, and came up with a multi-course menu for 10 people. The dinner included: pizza Margherita, Sicilian blood orange salad, pasta carbonara, veal Marsala, winter root vegetables, and chocolate orange mousse. The linguine was made with quinoa and the veal was breaded in rice flour. There were many sophisticated ingredients in the menu: Mimolette cheese and black truffles in the salad, pancetta and quail egg in the pasta, and a wine and mushroom reduction in the veal. “We’ve had to buy truffles, caviar, saffron. She’s not afraid to try new things,” says Betsy Kehoe. The hostess was so pleased with Hailey’s efforts that she booked her for another dinner party, and two more coming up this spring. Guests were equally enthusiastic. “I had the wonderful pleasure of dining when Hailey performed her magic,” says Beverly Stern, a guest at Ms. Brown Glad’s dinner. “The meal was thoughtfully prepared, especially due to Crickette’s eating options. ... I was senor vice president of Williams-Sonoma from 1997 to 2001. I have met many chefs and been in many kitchens. I myself am a self-taught foodie chef. ...

They don’t do it, so they don’t realize it’s a process, a very satisfying, artistic thing I can do that makes me feel good inside,” says Hailey. She realizes most teenagers don’t have her mature palate. When friends eat at her house, they prefer the garlic bread and pizza to more sophisticated dishes. One friend, Kirsten Wessbecher, works with her as a sous chef, however. When this reporter visited the Kehoe household last week, Hailey whipped up a gourmet repast for us to sample.

some serious competition from this teenager. All of Hailey’s cooking isn’t caviar and truffles. Her brother, Spencer, who is 23 and living in San Diego, is a “chocolate and meat person,” she says. She makes chocolate chip cookies, fudge, and “my Nana’s fudge sauce” for him. Hailey Kehoe doesn’t seem to have trouble “finding herself.” She knows her career lies in cooking. “Something so elemental to life, food is so misunderstood by people of my generation. Now that I’m able to earn some money and do what I love, my friends are way more interested,” she says. “Food — it’s my passion,” says the teenager. V

The city expects to have more detailed images before a City Council discussion on May 25. cerned about the cost of the trench option, though she had concerns about the elevated and at grade alternatives. In Mountain View, the Rail Authority reports a cost of $155 million for at-grade tracks, $344 million for an aerial viaduct, $615 million for an open trench and $1.4 billion for a covered trench. The elevated platform option downtown is â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelmingâ&#x20AC;? as Bryant put it, because it has to be wide enough for Caltrain platforms on each side of the four tracks. In the Rengstorff Avenue options, Crisanto Drive along Rengstorff Park is closed off in the at-grade alternative. Existing businesses and homes remain in the three designs for Rengstorff Avenue, including Mi Pueblo Market. The city expects to have more detailed images before a City Council discussion of the images on May 25. Additional drawings will eventually include some street level views, Fuller said. V

The biggest consequence for downtown may be in the at grade option where portions of Castro Street are depressed all the way from Villa Street to Central Avenue That would alter how people use the historic 100 block of Castro Street, and would require an elevated pedestrian crossing mid-block. But that option has the advantage of an elevated crossing over Central Expressway, though others could as well, Fuller said. Another consequence for downtown is that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1888 train depot replica at the corner of Castro Street and Evelyn Avenue has to be moved away from the tracks in the at-grade option, Fuller said.

Jeff Rosen for District Attorney

Mayor disputes housing editorial

eset by a series of bad decisions and what appears to be a wide-ranging lack of confidence from members of her own staff, District Attorney Delores Carr has found herself in a struggle to win reelection. After taking office in 2007 as the first woman to serve as Santa Clara Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District Attorney, Carr soon ran into a buzz saw of controversy over her decision not to prosecute several De Anza College baseball players for sexual assault in a widely publicized case. Although her decision may have been correct, she admits that she did not adequately explain her reasoning to the media and other interested parties. More black marks occurred when some of her deputies were accused of prosecutorial misconduct for withholding evidence from defense attorneys, and when her husband, a retired San Jose Police lieutenant, became a consultant in a case that is likely to be prosecuted by her office. Another issue has erupted over her decision to blackball Superior Court Judge Andrea Bryan for what Carr considered a bias against prosecutors. For candidate Jeff Rosen, these and other missteps by Carr are what convinced him to run against his boss, who has lost the support of more than half the deputy prosecutors in her office. They have endorsed Rosen, as has former longtime former DA George Kennedy, and a majority of the Santa Clara County Bar Association, which constitutes a serious loss of support for Carr. Rosen has spent 15 years as a deputy district attorney, and now handles mostly high profile murder cases, including some that carry the death penalty. He is known as a tough prosecutor but says he has dismissed murder cases when he thought the defendant was innocent. Rosen promises to institute a number of reforms to the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, including bringing back the cold case and conviction integrity unit that Carr dropped. He says he also would make sure deputies share evidence with defense attorneys, and begin a policy that all supervising attorneys carry a small case load, to keep them involved in the prosecution process. Although Rosen lacks experience managing a large operation like the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, which has a staff of 500, and an $85 million budget, he has been successful as president of Temple Kol Emeth in Palo Alto, where he oversaw a large budget and staff. In our view, Jeff Rosen will bring a fresh, no-nonsense approach to the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has suffered under Delores Carr, who simply has made too many mistakes. Rosen is a mature, seasoned prosecutor who has the support of more than half his colleagues, a majority of the county bar association and former DA George Kennedy. We recommend Jeff Rosen for Santa Clara County District Attorney.

By Ronit Bryant

was surprised to read your May 7 editorial regarding the City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval of the Prometheus project on Evelyn Avenue. You characterized the council as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to do anything to encourage development and retail development downtown,â&#x20AC;? with the added implication that the council disregarded the risk of â&#x20AC;&#x153;traffic gridlock, impossible parking and an imposing, four-story facadeâ&#x20AC;?. I reject that characterization. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put the decision in context: a location on the edge of the downtown neighborhood, fronting the train tracks (and possibly, quite soon, the high-speed rail) was approved for 203 mostly one-bedroom apartments; the parking ratio is somewhat greater than the one approved in the 15-year old Evelyn Corridor Precise Plan; the facades mirror the ones of buildings across Villa and Bush, with four-stories facing the train tracks. None of the studies undertaken indicated there would be significant impacts on the neighborhood. Did the neighbors express concerns? Quite a few most certainly did. Quite a few others expressed support. After months of study, numerous public meetings, many, many private meetings with residents, countless e-mail messages, and very considerable

thought, I voted with the majority of council to approve the project. I love my downtown neighborhood, where I have lived for the past 23 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a walkable and very diverse neighborhood. The Prometheus project will add some housing options for people unable or unwilling as yet to afford the high costs of single-family residences but eager to live in a friendly, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood with good public transit options. Nothing in the decision I made regarding this specific lot on Evelyn Avenue should be taken as implying that I would necessarily approve another high-density project downtown, or in any other part of the city. Several times in the past few years your paper characterized me as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow growthâ&#x20AC;? when I voted against higher-density projects that I thought were badly designed or inappropriate for their proposed location. In truth, I am neither slowgrowth nor fast-growth. I judge each project that comes before me on its own merits, with a view to fulfilling what our residents recently defined as the vision for Mountain View: a city that â&#x20AC;&#x153;provides for the needs of all residents,â&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lively downtown, vibrant neighborhoods and a healthy economy.â&#x20AC;? Ronit Bryant is mayor of Mountain View.

efore wondering why anyone would open yet another Asian restaurant on Castro Street, consider Thaiphoon’s menu. It’s eclectic. Deep. Chinese and Indian dishes mingle easily with the Thai specialties of the Vongampai family, who also own the original Thaiphoon in Palo Alto, where their pan-Asian concept was perfected. While Thaiphoon isn’t the first to perfect this technique on downtown’s busy restaurant row, it further dignifies itself by resisting the “fusion” trend. So when you order an Indian dish, it tastes Indian.

Chinese food tastes Chinese. “We’ve wanted to open this restaurant in Mountain View for a long time,” says Tom Vongampai, who manages the operation with his wife and mother. “People who live here are such a mix of demographics — we wanted to offer them more variety.” But they also have provided a quiet sanctuary that contrasts with the bustling scene taking place just outside the floor-toceiling picture windows spanning the length of Thaiphoon’s storefront space.

Judging by the temperature of every course, it seems as if our orders didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger very long in the kitchen before arriving at the table. We began with a bowl of steaming tom yung goong soup ($4.95), which proved to be a modest serving and yet was a very satisfying way to whet the appetite. The soup contained four large de-veined shrimp with tails, roasted pepper strips and mushrooms in a lively hot and sour fish broth exploding with citrus, lemon grass and chili pepper flavors. We loved this soup, which found the mid-point between spiciness and freshness. We ordered the Indian appetizer roti ($6.50), and within minutes dug into a steaming hot six-inch pancake cut into six triangles

accompanied by a yellow curry dipping sauce. We enjoyed the delicate texture of the pastry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; crispy outside and fluffy inside, with a subtle oil glaze on the surface. The sauce was mild with

a couple pinches of finely diced green onions and red pepper. It provided a nice complement to the roti, and was rather thin, making it better suited for spooning rather than dipping onto the pastry. Thaiphoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veggie lettuce wraps ($7.95) arrived as two quarter-head slices of crisp iceberg lettuce rest-

ing behind a mound of tiny tofu squares stir-fried with diced peppers and onion in a subtly sweet marinade. Our party had lots of fun peeling individual leaves from the lettuce, placing a small amount of filling in the cup and wrapping it into a manageable package suitable for eating by hand. Next, an irresistible aroma arose from the pool of yellow chicken curry ($8.50). Chunks of chicken, whole cherry tomatoes, sliced yellow onion and firmly cooked diced potatoes swam in a sauce that was rich, buttery and delicious, and yet a bit too mild for our taste. We made a mental note to ask the chef to punch it up a bit the next time we dined at Thaiphoon (which we did on our subsequent visit, and were happy with the results). One of many choices from the many Chinese selections on the menu, our Mongolian beef ($8.95) combined the savory flavor of sliced pan-fried beef See THAIPHOON, page 18

with a thick, dark brown sauce that was both tangy and slightly sweet. Sliced leeks and hot little chili peppers provided plenty of zing, which we enjoyed, but might prove to be a challenge for less adventurous diners. It’s a bit hackneyed, like ordering spaghetti at an Italian restaurant, but I love pad Thai ($8.25), the sweet and nutty rice noodle recipe that doubles as a main course or side dish. Ours was pan-fried with tender grilled chicken slices, bean sprouts, bits of scrambled egg, sliced green onion and cabbage, all coated by a thin layer of the oily sweet fish/tamarind sauce spiced with a hint of chili pepper. I enjoyed Thaiphoon’s version, which neither reinvented nor ruined this national Thai dish. I can never resist pla chu chee ($13.95), and was excited to try Thaiphoon’s version of this delectable Thai fish curry. Ours was prepared with delicate fillets of sole simmered with crisp bell peppers and peas in a buttery sweet and nutty curry sauce imbued with coconut and lime flavors. Topped with cilantro strips, this dish shimmered with beautiful green and orange colors. With its extensive wine list (assembled with the advice of three separate wine experts), delicious food, courteous wait staff and relaxing atmosphere, Thaiphoon is a great choice, especially for parties who want a mix of Asian cuisines in one sitting.

BABIES ----

(Century 16, Century 20) This French documentary, directed and filmed mostly by Thomas Balmes, occupies a niche somewhere between â&#x20AC;&#x153;awww!â&#x20AC;? and ethnology. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s babies are four: Ponijao from Namibia; Bayarjargal from Mongolia; Mari from Tokyo; and Hattie from Oakland. The movie follows each baby from birth to about 18 months. Ponijao and her siblings play in the dirt, which they sometimes put in their mouths. Bayarjargal, the only boy in the group, plays outdoors near the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yurt, often alone or among goats and cows. Both Mari and Hattie have heaps of toys and books and are taken to parks and baby exercise classes. Despite their different environments, all of the tots are loved and cuddled, and they all seem healthy. Comparisons are hard to avoid, though the film never hammers them home. The Third-World kids are messier but have more freedom and are more in tune with the natural world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though the California mother takes little Hattie to a play group where the leader chants, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Earth is our mother.â&#x20AC;? Rated PG for â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural and maternalâ&#x20AC;? nudity. One hour, 20 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; R.P.

IRON MAN 2 --1/2

Gen Admission $20

(Century 16, Century 20) Showmanship is the order of the day for superhero sequel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iron Man 2,â&#x20AC;? though the flash and dazzle distract from plot machinery thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a little clunky. Robert Downey Jr. is back as our heavy metal hero (aka crafty industrialist Tony Stark), smugly answering to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, who wants to seize Starkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-powered armor for military use. Stark counters that his invention is inimitable and therefore the ideal deterrent: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have successfully privatized world peace! What more do you want?â&#x20AC;? Cue Russian physicist/ ex-con Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), who demonstrates his own technology in a murderous assault on Stark. The crowded cast also includes presumable flame â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pepperâ&#x20AC;? Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and comic femme fatale â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Widowâ&#x20AC;? (Scarlett Johansson). Rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language. Two hours, four minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P.C.

KICK-ASS ---

(Century 16, Century 20) What a superhero-loving teen took to the streets in his own homemade costume? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the idea behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kick-Ass,â&#x20AC;? itself based on a fanboyfave comic-book series by writer Mark Millar (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wantedâ&#x20AC;?) and illustrator John Romita Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With no power comes no responsibility,â&#x20AC;? Dave Lizewski muses, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong, of course. When he pulls on his eBay-bought wetsuit and prowls the streets as â&#x20AC;&#x153;KickAss,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking his very life into his hands. Lizewski quickly lands himself in the hospital, lucky to be alive. But that accomplished, the story spins wilder and wilder â&#x20AC;&#x153;what-ifâ&#x20AC;?s, throwing Dave (an appealingly nerdy Aaron Johnson) into a world much broader than the walls of his high school. Rated R for strong brutal violence throughout, pervasive language, sexual content, nudity and some drug use â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some involving children. One hour, 57 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P.C. )

venâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleverly conceived slasher movie. In eight films between 1984 and 2003, Freddy Krueger serial-killed, always sporting a bladed glove and an unfashionable red-andgreen-striped sweater, and always played by Robert Englund. Now Oscar-nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley has taken on the role, which requires him to spend most of his screen time unrecognizable due to burn makeup and a heavily processed voice. What always gave the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nightmareâ&#x20AC;? films a bit of added cachet was how Craven bridged the slasher genre with supernatural horror. Having once been hunted and murdered, Freddy takes revenge from beyond the grave, haunting the dreams of his victims, typically teenage and conspicuously nubile. This latest in Michael Bay-produced horror remakes takes a mostly anti-creative approach. As such, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conceivable this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nightmareâ&#x20AC;? might put audiences to sleep. Rated R for strong bloody horror violence, disturbing images, terror and language. One hour, 35 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P.C.

(Palo Alto Square) Kate (Catherine Keener, often the star of Holofcenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s films) is the owner of a trendy New York modern furniture shop, for which she buys furniture and accessories at estate sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We buy from the children of dead people,â&#x20AC;? says her husband, Alex (Oliver Platt). She pays a pittance and resells the pieces for major bucks, while being racked with guilt about all the homeless and disadvantaged people out on the streets. As often as not, though, her attempts at charity misfire. Kate and Alex have bought the pre-war apartment next to theirs, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take possession and merge it with theirs until its current tenant, bitchy 91-year-old Andra (Ann Guilbert), dies. While many of the characters are nasty, including Andra, this is not a mean-spirited movie. Many characters battle with their selfishness. And the writing is superb: witty, at times seemingly improvised, never static. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please Giveâ&#x20AC;? is a very New York movie, but its New York is far from Woody Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gilded view. This is the real New York, warts and all. Rated R for nudity. One hour, 30 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; R.P.

THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES---

(Aquarius) The story is about modes of seeing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the passive watching of could-be lovers whose hesitation spans decades. The man and woman are court investigator Benjamin Esposito (Ricardo Darin) and lawyer Irene MenendezHastings (Soledad Villamil). The film begins in 1999, with Benjamin retired and struggling against writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block to launch a second career as a novelist. Concluding he must get out of his system the defining story of his erstwhile career, he visits his former colleague Irene, object of the great unconsummated love of his life. Though she is now married with children, possibility still hangs in the air as the pair recall a murder case from 25 years hence and the politics that hampered the investigation and prosecution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Secret in Their Eyesâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hedge any bets, offering romance, mystery, prosecutorial tension and social critique. Rated R for a rape scene, violent images, some graphic nudity and language. Two hours, seven minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P.C.
