INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES Investigators are asking for the community’s help in identifying anyone who may have been victimized by a local man police are calling a sexual predator. The suspect, 31-year-old Cesar Urieta, was arrested on Feb. 18 on charges of causing a minor to distribute harmful material and contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense, according to a recent post on the Mountain View Police Department’s blog. According to police, Urieta had been renting a room from a Mountain View family for the past few years. During that time, investigators say, he had developed an increasingly inappropriate relationship with the family’s juvenile son — including sending “inappropriate messages� to the boy. In the wake of Urieta’s arrest, detectives are asking that anyone else who may have been
inappropriately contacted by Urieta to come forward and alert authorities. “If you ever come across any questionable material, and you believe the child may be the victim of a sexual predator, call us,� said MVPD Det. Jessica Nanez. “Do not wait. It is our duty as adults, caretakers and responsible individuals to protect children from harm.� Police are asking anyone with any information on this case to call 650-903-6344 and reference case number 14-0939.

ketball coach, athletic director, director of student activities and counselor.

‘The Los Altos Story’ It was around Christmas in 1989 when he and his wife learned that their son, Steven, was gay and that he had been suffering from AIDS for some time. “It was totally devastating,� Angius said, recalling the news of his son’s illness. Not long after, Angius learned that two other members of the Los Altos Rotary Club — where he was serving as president — had been diagnosed with the AIDS virus. Suddenly, AIDS, which had previously seemed so foreign and mysterious to Angius, was staring him in the face. With the help of his fellow Rotarians, he set out to “do something about AIDS.� The Los Altos Rotary AIDS Project was soon formed and not long after, a 30-minute documentary called “The Los Altos Story� was produced, focusing on the way the virus has impacted Angius, his family and his Rotary Club chapter. The critically acclaimed documentary went on to win a Peabody Award and an ACE (Award for Cable Excellence), and provided inspiration for the Academy Award-winning film “Philadelphia.� To date, Angius noted, 25,000 copies of the documentary have been circulated and the film has been translated into six foreign languages. Though his son later died of the disease, Angius said he is proud of the role he has played in helping in the battle against AIDS. He told the Voice that the district’s decision to memorialize him might top everything else he’s ever accomplished. “Naming the gymnasium after me is one of the most incredible things that’s happened to me,� said Angius, who is now living in Walnut Creek. “I am so honored.� V

Angius said that the best times were those he spent at Los Altos High School. “Nothing could compare to my years at Los Altos High School,� he told the Voice. “Opening a new school was incredible. The community, the student body, the faculty were all second to none.� He said he looks back with special fondness at the years he spent coaching the basketball team and overseeing the athletic department. “We had a trophy case you wouldn’t believe by the time I left,� he said.
