arolyn Clarke’s reason for running for Menlo Park City Council is simple. “If you have ideas, and you’re not running for office, people don’t listen. So you have to be somewhere in the decisionmaking process to be listened to,� she said. Describing herself as “a regular everyday person who understands the needs of the 99 percent and understands the issues,� Ms. Clarke wants to put her finance background and nonprofit experience to work for the city she’s lived in about 20 years. A small business owner with a degree in accounting from San Francisco State University, Ms. Clarke is familiar with juggling the demands of work, family and civic service. Her experience includes serving on the Housing Commission, the Las Pulgas Committee, and the new housing element update steering committee. She also volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and co-founded the School of Wisdom and Knowledge charter school in East Palo Alto. Housing, traffic and job creation are the top three issues Ms. Clarke sees facing Menlo Park. She’d like more people
to be able to work and live in the city, even if that means a personal sacrifice. “If my property value has to go up at the expense of people being homeless, I don’t care for it to go up.� Ms. Clarke said that her neighborhood, Belle Haven, sometimes seems like a place apart from the city. “I think if I run, that would be the beginning of addressing that,� she said. “I think that the east and west side need to learn more about each other. The community on the east side has changed quite a bit, and the other side might not be aware of that.� She said she has no political ambitions beyond city hall. Three other residents so far have announced their intention to run for one of the two open council seats: Transportation Commissioner Ray Mueller, f iref ighter Dave Bragg, and incumbent Kelly Fergusson.

wenty-two counts of vandalism, one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and possession of burglary tools: Ryan Anthony Mattei, 18, is looking at a long laundry list of charges if the San Mateo County district attorney’s office agrees with police. Mr. Mattei was arrested when police responded to a call of vandalism in progress in Menlo Park on June 25. Officers spotted a red Ford 2002 pickup truck that resembled one described by witnesses to earlier crimes, according to the police report. The truck yielded two suspects — Mr. Mattei and a juvenile companion. The investigation also unearthed a third teenage suspect. All 22 alleged acts of vandalism took place in Menlo Park, police spokeswoman Nicole
Acker said. That includes 13 car windows shattered by a BB gun — eight in one day — and four damaged mailboxes. The crimes appeared random. One mailbox, blown up by a firecracker that also destroyed the mail, belonged to Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, sources said. She recently built a home in Menlo Park. The San Mateo County district attorney’s office received the case against Mr. Mattei on July 11, and will decide which charges merit prosecution. The cases against the 13-year-old and 16-year-old suspects will be handled by juvenile probation, according to police. The arrests did not put a stop to vandalism within the city. On Wednesday afternoon, July 11, officers responded to a report of a driver’s side car window shattered by a BB gun in the 1300 block of Willow Road. Police said right now there are no suspects. A
