Police patrol troubled center
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
Redwood City Police Department officially opened its substation at Sequoia Station Shopping Center yesterday, where residents are increasingly calling for safety improvements.
The opening comes two weeks after Joseph Carrerio, 66, of Redwood City, was fatally stabbed at the Caltrain platform, just steps away from the new

substation. Police were stationed at the substation at 1035 El Camino Real starting July 4, so officers were nearby when Carrerio was stabbed within minutes and had a drone overhead collecting footage.
“It’s an unfortunate event, but we’re hoping that our presence will make a dent in some of the criminal activity that has been occurring,” Clements said.
Clements said he has received posi-
tive feedback from employees around the substation, saying that they now feel safer and have noticed a difference.
Officers will not always be present at the substation, as there hasn’t been an increase in staff, according to Clements.
“I’m hopeful that down the road, that might be an option, but we just kinda haven’t worked that into the budget for

Manhunt on for Kirk’s killer
MSNBC ANALYST FIRED: Former MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd opened a floodgate of people who faced consequences for statements in the media, social or otherwise, in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Dowd lost his job after commentary in which he said “hateful words” lead to “hateful actions.” He and MSNBC’s president apologized. The list of others quickly grew. Feminist website Jezebel took down a satirical piece, published two days before Kirk’s death, that called on witches to put a curse on him.
BOLSONARO GETS 27 YEARS:
A panel of Brazilian Supreme Court justices has sentenced former president Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison after convicting him of attempting a coup to remain in office despite his 2022 electoral defeat. Bolsonaro is currently under house arrest in Brasilia. U.S. President Donald Trump said hours later that he was “very unhappy” with the conviction.

The shooter who assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk and then vanished off a roof and into the woods remained at large more than 24 hours later yesterday as federal investigators appealed for the public’s help by releasing photos of the person they believe is responsible.
Investigators obtained clues, including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled.
But they have yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing

Residents nervous for new development
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
East San Carlos residents are able to keep their partial street closures, but are worried about the traffic impacts of new development on their side of town, which may go as high as 150 feet.
The Greater East San Carlos neighborhood group has noticed a difference
in the number of cars cutting through traffic at the eight intersections, so council unanimously agreed to continue the Slow Streets Pilot Project on Monday.
Along Old County and Industrial, residents have seen a decrease in car speeds with the added signs, crosswalk markings, new “No Parking” zones and
partial street closures. Resident Greg Walker, who lives on Cherry St., said the project is a success.
“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a solution that works for that neighborhood,” Walker said.

Probe targets chatbots, their impact on children
The Federal Trade Commission has launched an inquiry into several social media and artificial intelligence companies about the potential harms to children and teenagers who use their AI chatbots as companions.

that everything a Character says should be treated as fiction.”
Snap said its My AI chatbot is “transparent and clear about its capabilities and limitations.”
The FTC said yesterday it has sent letters to Google parent Alphabet, Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms, Snap, Character Technologies, ChatGPT maker OpenAI and xAI.
The FTC said it wants to understand what steps, if any, companies have taken to evaluate the safety of their chatbots when acting as companions, to limit the products’ use by and potential negative effects on children and teens, and to apprise users and parents of the risks associated with the chatbots.
Surging popularity
The move comes as a growing number of kids use AI chatbots for everything — from homework help to personal advice, emotional support and everyday decision-making. That’s despite research on the harms of chatbots, which have been shown to give kids dangerous advice about top-
The mother of a teenage boy in Florida who killed himself after developing what she described as an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship with a chatbot has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Character.AI. And the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine recently sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT coached the California boy in planning and taking his own life earlier this year.
Companies respond
Character.AI said it is looking forward to “collaborating with the FTC on this inquiry and providing insight on the consumer AI industry and the space’s rapidly evolving technology.”
“We have invested a tremendous amount of resources in Trust and Safety, especially for a startup. In the past year we’ve rolled out many substantive safety features, including an entirely new under-18 experience and a Parental Insights feature,” the company said. “We have prominent disclaimers in every chat to remind users that a Character is not a real person and
“We share the FTC’s focus on ensuring the thoughtful development of generative AI, and look forward to working with the Commission on AI policy that bolsters U.S. innovation while protecting our community,” the company said in a statement.
Meta declined to comment, and Alphabet, OpenAI and xAI did not immediately respond to messages.
Safety changes
OpenAI and Meta earlier this month announced changes to how their chatbots respond to teenagers asking questions about suicide or showing signs of mental and emotional distress.
OpenAI said it is rolling out new controls enabling parents to link their accounts to their teen’s account and will allow them to disable features, according to a company blog post.
Meta also said it is blocking its chatbots from talking with teens about self-harm, suicide, eating disorders and romantic conversations.

BIANCHINI' S MARKET- SAN CARLOS 12pm-3pm
Fed in tough spot amid rising prices
Inflation rose last month as the price of gas, groceries and airfares jumped while new data showed applications for unemployment aid soared, putting the Federal Reserve in an increasingly tough spot as it prepares to cut rates at its meeting next week despite persistent price pressures.
Consumer prices increased 2.9% in August from a year earlier, the Labor Department said yesterday, up from 2.7% the previous month and the biggest jump since January. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 3.1%, the same as in July. Both figures are above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
A separate government report yesterday showed that weekly applications for unemployment aid jumped 27,000 to 263,000, the highest in nearly four years. Requests for jobless benefits are a proxy for layoffs. Recent reports have also showed that hiring has weakened dramatically this year and was lower than previously estimated last year.
‘Stagflation’ looming
The data raises the specter of “stagflation,” a trend that last bedeviled the U.S. economy in the 1970s. The term refers to a period of slower growth, higher unemployment along with rising inflation. It is unusual because a weak

economy typically keeps inflation in check.
Such a scenario could create major headaches for the Fed as it prepares for a meeting next week, when policymakers are widely expected to cut their short-term rate to about 4.1% from 4.3%. The Fed is under relentless pressure from President Trump to cut rates. At the same time, stubborn inflation while the job market is weakening is difficult for the central bank because they are diverging trends that require polar reactions from the Fed to address.
Rate cut on tap
Last month, Chair Jerome Powell signaled that Fed officials are increasingly concerned about weaker hiring, setting the stage for a rate cut next week. Wall Street investors think there is an 85% chance the Fed will cut twice more after that, according to futures pricing tracked by CME Fedwatch.
“Consumer inflation came in mildly hotter than forecast, but not nearly high enough to prevent the Fed from starting to cut rates next week,” Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist for Nationwide, said. “The labor market is losing steam and reinforces that the Fed needs to start cutting rates next week and that it will be the start of a series of rate reductions.”
Collision on I-280 kills motorcyclist
A motorcyclist has died after colliding with a vehicle on Interstate 280 in Los Altos Hills, CHP said.
CHP responded to a three-vehicle crash on 280 near the Page Mill Road exit in Los Altos Hills on Tuesday, CHP said.
High speeds reported
Investigators believe that a Ducati motorcycle was lane splitting at a high rate of speed when it collided with the rear of an unknown vehicle, causing the male rider to be ejected and thrown into the roadway. According to the CHP, the rider may have then been struck by a Dodge Ram pickup. The rider suffered major injuries and died at the hospital. The driver of the pickup remained at the scene.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner’s Office was working to contact the motorcyclist’s next of kin yesterday.
The investigation into this crash is ongoing.
Second crash this week
This is the second crash on 280 near Page Mill Road involving a motorcyclist this week.
On Monday, a CHP motorcycle officer was struck by a Tesla on southbound 280 near Page Mill Road.
The officer was dispatched to clear a leaf blower that was between the two left lanes of southbound 280, according to Officer Jovita Ojeda. The officer was performing a traffic break by swerving in the lane to slow other motorists when a 2026 Tesla Model Y crashed into him, Ojeda said.
The officer was ejected from his motorcycle and taken to the hospital, where he is suffering from major, but non-life-threatening injuries, Ojeda said.
Trial opens in shooting try
A suspect on trial for trying to assassinate President Trump while he played golf in South Florida last year forfeited his right to continue making an opening statement yesterday when he veered off topic and talked about Adolf Hitler and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
Ryan Routh, who is representing himself, was warned by U.S. District
Judge Aileen Cannon to stay on topic. The judge twice asked jurors to leave the courtroom so she could deal with the unconventional turn in Routh’s opening statement.
Routh’s initial argument, read from a written statement, lasted less than 10 minutes before the judge said he had forfeited the right to continue.

Trump administration ends grant programs for minority-serving colleges
The Trump administration is ending several grant programs reserved for colleges that have large numbers of minority students, saying they amount to illegal discrimination by tying federal money to racial quotas.
In a shift upending decades of precedent, the Education Department said Wednesday it now believes it’s unconstitutional to award federal grants using eligibility requirements based on racial or ethnic enrollment levels. The agency said it’s holding back a total of $350 million in grants budgeted for this year and called on Congress to “reenvision” the programs for future years.
More than $250 million of that figure was budgeted for the government’s Hispanic-Serving Institution program, which offers grants to colleges and universities where at least a quarter of undergraduates are Hispanic. Locally this includes Palo Alto University, Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, the three colleges in the San Mateo County Community College District and Foothill Community College.
Congress created the program in
1998 after finding that Latino students were going to college and graduating at far lower rates than white students.
Other programs cut
Several smaller programs are also being cut, including $22 million for schools where at least 40% of students are Black, along with programs reserved for schools with certain enrollment levels of Asian American, Pacific Islander or Native American students. The programs have traditionally received bipartisan support in Congress and were created to address longstanding racial disparities in education.
Not included in the cuts is federal funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, which are open to all students regardless of race.
“Diversity is not merely the presence of a skin color,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement Wednesday. “Stereotyping an individual based on immutable characteristics diminishes the full picture of that person’s life and contributions, including their character, resiliency, and merit.”
Anatolian Kitchen brings the unique flavors of homestyle Turkish cuisine to Palo Alto’s California Avenue.
Owner Dino Tekdemir says the homey recipes come straight from his mom and his native village, Diyarbakir, which is in a Kurdish area in the southeastern part of Turkey.
“It’s like what we’re eating at home, like mother cooks,” he said. He grew up on a farm where his family raised cows and sheep and grew their own vegetables. For his restaurant, Tekdemir is passionate about bringing that fresh perspective to his California Avenue kitchen, as well as sharing the authentic flavors of his native country.
Fresh tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and eggplants have a large role to play, as do herbs and spices like paprika and dried reyhan, a Turkish variety of purple basil known for its complex, aromatic flavor.
While Tekdemir also co-owns Barbayani Greek Taverna in Los Altos and Portola Bistro in Portola Valley, Anatolian Kitchen was his first, his baby. After coming to America he worked as a janitor, server and finally manager at Piacere in San Carlos. But in 2010, he realized his dream of opening his own restaurant. Anatolian Kitchen served diners for almost 12 years at 2323 Birch St. In 2022, after emerging from the pandemic, Tekdemir saw that demand for his healthy homestyle cuisine remained strong, and he re-opened the restaurant on Cal Ave. in late 2022.
Authentic Home-Style Turkish Food in Palo Alto
Not sure what to order? The menu offers a delicious array of hot and cold appetizers, kebabs, wraps and other items. Vegetarians will find plentiful options, including a stuffed eggplant entree and a veggie moussaka. Customers rave about the house-made doner – flavorful lamb and beef meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, sliced thin and served in a wrap or with rice pilaf and salad. If it’s your first time there, Tekdemir recommends trying a variety of flavors at once by ordering the mixed appetizer platter or mixed grill entree, a meat-lover’s dream that offers
chicken and lamb shish kebabs, doner, chicken and lamb adana kebabs and kofte (ground beefand-lamb patties).
The restaurant also offers handcrafted artisan cocktails, beers and a diverse selection of wines, including several Turkish and Greek vintages Californians aren’t used to seeing. And of course raki, the anise-flavored brandy that’s Turkey’s national drink.
The restaurant loves to host their patrons’ social or business events and the restaurant can host up to 40 people. They also offer an unforgettable private catering experience, where their chefs, servers and bartenders can come to your location, preparing delicious fare and taking care of your every need while you enjoy your occasion.
Sweet tooths take note: Save room for traditional desserts, including the kunefe (a sweet cheese pastry with honey syrup and ice cream) and this fall’s baked butternut squash, served with tahini, homemade whipped cream and walnuts.
Anatolian Kitchen is open for lunch and dinner every day. For more information and to make reservations, go to anatoliankitchen.com.

Expert expects another brutal flu season ahead
After the high severity of the 2024-25 flu season, health experts are making predictions for the upcoming season and urging the public to get immunization for both influenza and Covid.
Jeffrey Silvers, an infectious disease specialist with Sutter Health, spoke in a webinar Tuesday giving advice and explaining forecasts for this year’s flu season in Northern California. Sutter Health is a health care provider based in Sacramento with hundreds of locations across the Bay Area.
“Last season was definitely a higher severity season we’ve seen in quite a few years,” Silvers said.
Australia clues
For this season, Silvers is expecting a severe flu outbreak once again, based on Australia’s flu sea-
son. Because Australia’s flu season is typically from April to October, it can provide clues to what flu seasons in the Northern Hemisphere may look like, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We can’t tell you for sure what we’re going to see in the winter,” Silvers said. “But I have communications with influenza leadership in Australia and my understanding is that they have a fairly severe early flu season in Australia, but the vaccine appeared to be a good match.”
Early vaccination urged
Flu season in Northern California usually begins around late October, but Silvers recommends getting a head start on receiving a vaccination since it does not kick in right away.
“It takes two weeks for the vac-
cine to work, for you to get the antibodies,” Silvers said. “Could you get the vaccine and a week later get the flu? Absolutely, because your body hasn’t developed enough of an immune response to completely protect you.”
While anyone six months or older is encouraged to get a flu vaccination, certain at-risk groups are especially urged to receive immunization. These include children, people over the age of 65, pregnant women, and people who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions.
“Children are very high risk for complications for flu, especially if they’re under 2 years old,” Silvers said.
In addition to encouraging people to take precautions against the flu, Silvers also recommends getting vaccinated for Covid.
Questions with senior care? Ask Vanessa
Dear Vanessa,
My dad is on several medications, and I’m constantly worried about whether they’re being given correctly. How do families like mine keep things safe without making mistakes?
— Maria
Dear Maria,
This is a question I hear often, and one that resonates deeply with many families. Medications can save lives, but when they’re not handled properly, they can also create serious risks. In California, the guidelines are clear: nurses and family members are the ones legally permitted to administer medications. Caregivers, unless they are licensed nurses, are not permitted to take medications directly from the bottles and set up pill organizers. Their role is to remind, observe, and report, and while that may sound like a small difference, it carries a big impact when it comes to keeping your dad safe.
I’ve seen families run into challenges when multiple people are involved in the process. One person thinks a pill has already been given, another isn’t sure, and suddenly a dose is missed or doubled. It’s rarely intentional; it’s simply the reality of busy days colliding with complex routines. That’s why having one consistent person, whether it’s you or a nurse, take the lead makes all the difference. The caregiver’s role then becomes a strong layer of support: ensuring your dad takes his medications on time, noticing if he refuses or has side effects, and communicating those observations.
What truly makes the process safer is building a rhythm that everyone can trust. For some families, it’s a weekly pill organizer that serves as the anchor. For others, it’s the reassurance that
comes when a nurse visits to set up and verify the medications. The goal isn’t to make the system more complicated; it’s to make it dependable. And when it’s dependable, you gain peace of mind while your dad gains security.
If at any point it feels overwhelming, remember you don’t have to shoulder it alone. Doctors, pharmacists, and home health nurses can all help create a plan that works for your family. Sometimes, even simple changes, deciding who fills the pillbox or keeping a basic log, can ease the worry and prevent mistakes. At the heart of medication management is more than just giving pills. It’s about creating trust, reducing stress, and ensuring your dad feels safe and cared for.
And if you’d like a free professional assessment to see what kind of support might be right for your situation, Care Indeed, or any licensed provider with nurses on staff, can walk you through the best options.
Warmly, Vanessa

Entertainment
Spinal Tap is back, but is it worth it?
BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer
In an early scene from “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,” the blisteringly obtuse Nigel Tufnel asks his wife a question after he and his bandmates have reunited after many years: “I don’t know whether this was a good idea or not.”
Fans may ask that very same question after an albeit mercifully short sequel hits theaters today from the mother of all rock mockumentaries, 1984’s “This Is Spinal Tap.” Forget about going to 11. This one barely registers at 4.
Despite some great starry cameos — Paul McCartney’s is easily the best — “Spinal Tap II” leans into the old favorite bits too needily and is suffocated by the constantly looming presence of death, a downer. The improv-based comedy is forced and the laughs barely register. This is a movie only for diehard Tappers.
Final concert
The structure is the band reunion and countdown to a final concert by Spinal Tap, who we are told disbanded 15 years ago. They’ve not agreed to reform out of love, but contract. (They owe one more live set.) The venue is in New Orleans, because a Stormy Dan-
iels appearance fell through. (That was probably really funny in 2017.) There are simmering intra-band tensions.
Rob Reiner — who directed, starred and co-wrote the original with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer — has once again directed the sequel, faithfully playing his role as filmmaker Marty DiBergi, complete with military baseball cap and a director’s viewfinder around his neck. All the guys get screenwriting credit. We learn where the trio has landed after all these years — one runs a cheese-and-guitar shop, another is the proprietor of a glue museum and a third writes soundtracks to podcasts and the hold music for phones.
Death stalks the search for a drummer, who has the habit of coming to an abrupt demise whenever they join. Valerie Franco eventually steps behind the drum kit, bringing a vitality and effervescence to a movie that sorely lacks it.
Famous cameo
The high point is when McCartney happens to stop by the recording studio. He praises the band for their ability to rhyme “flesh tuxedo” with “pink torpedo” on the song “Big Bottom.” (“That’s literature,” says the ex-Beatle in admiration.) But soon things grow testy between him and McKean’s David St. Hubbins
over a song’s direction. “We’ll take it under advisement,” McKean curtly tells McCartney about his suggestion. Later, he grouses about the sunny McCartney: “He’s got this sort of toxic personality.”
There are also appearances by Elton John, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Fran Drescher and Paul Shaffer reprise their old roles in blink-andyou’ll-miss-them moments. Henry Diltz, one of rock’s great photographers, also gets a cameo.
John, whose natural comedy instincts are sadly untapped here, sits in with the band twice, for “(Listen to the) Flower People” and “Stonehenge.”
The movie often stalls in the second half as it loads up on performances leading up to the final concert.
One of the bits that doesn’t work is that the band’s apartment in New Orleans is constantly interrupted by a walking tour of haunted spots. But that’s fitting, perhaps: “Spinal Tap II” is filled with ghosts. It’s like watching a cover band playing the hits but then realizing it’s actually the original band onstage after all.

Poll: Awards shows still matter to half of adults
Many Americans still want to thank the academy, at least a little.
About half of U.S. adults say they’ve watched all or most of an awards show on TV or streaming in the past year, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, while just over half say they’ve watched clips from an awards show. About 6 in 10 say they’ve watched an awards show, clips or both in the last year.
The results suggest that some vitality remains in the seemingly stodgy old tuxedo-and-gown world of the Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, Tonys and Golden Globes. And they come at a moment when the Oscars and the Emmys have seen a short-term uptick in viewers after cultural shifts that brought
a huge long-term drop in people gathering around a television to watch an awards show together.
Oscars rebound
The Oscars, which remain the most viewed and most engaged-with awards show, are coming off a five-year high in viewers.
Nearly 20 million people watched “Anora” win best picture and four other top trophies in March.
But that’s down from the more than 55 million who watched “Titanic” win 11 in 1998, when awards shows truly were the king of the world.
Some, like Christine Steingraber, 64, watch most of the awards shows that air on TV. The Oscars are her favorite, but she watches the Emmys and the Grammys,
too, even when she’s not familiar with the shows or the artists up for awards.
“It opens up another perspective as to whether I want to see that show or hear that artist,” she said.
Clips help extend reach
Meme-able moments like the “La-La Land” fiasco or Will Smith’s slap at the Oscars or the hits and misses of Golden Globes monologues have shown the shows can still have life after social media took over for TV for many.
The survey found that the people who watched full awards shows largely overlap with clip viewers, although people are slightly more likely to say they’ve just watched clips.

New doc to mark Van Dyke’s 100th
- Lobster corn chowder - Coleslaw
- Tortillas - Chips
- Fresh baked bread - Bread pudding - Whoopie pies
- Blueberry cheesecake
Movie theaters across the country are pulling out the stops for Dick Van Dyke’s 100th birthday in December. A new documentary about the song and dance man’s life, “Dick Van Dyke: 100th Celebration,” will be in theaters over his birthday weekend on Dec. 13 and 14, Fathom Entertainment has announced.
“It’s wonderful; a total surprise for me,” Van Dyke said in a statement the filmmakers provided to The Associated Press. “If you don’t think luck has a lot to do with it, then you’re mistaken.”
Decades in the making
The feature length film has been in the works for over three decades. In telling the story of Van Dyke’s 80-plus years in entertainment, the film weaves together clips from classic films, like
“Mary Poppins,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “Bye Bye Birdie,” and television shows, including “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “Diagnosis: Murder,” as well as new interviews with Van Dyke in which he shares never-before-heard stories from his time in Hollywood.
The portrait is bookended with a visit to his hometown of Danville, Ill., where he visits his childhood home, the radio station where he started his career as a DJ at age 16 and his old high school where he took the stage once more to join in with the students performing songs from some of his most beloved films.
“We’re really excited about the film,” filmmaker Steve Boettcher said. “It’s very much in the style of Dick Van Dyke. It’s got laughter and music and touching moments. It’s pure entertainment, much like Mr. Van Dyke.”
Tickets go on sale Oct. 31.

Kimmel makes a stand
Jimmy Kimmel is no defender of democracy.
At least he turned down the title when a reporter suggested he might be.
“Those are heavy thoughts and I have a tendency to reject them,” he said backstage at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. “I don’t really feel like I’m defending democracy.”
He said he’s doing something much smaller when he lays into President Trump.
“I’m giving this guy a little poke, and he deserves it, and I enjoy it, and I hope that people enjoy it too,” Kimmel said.
As the 57-year-old TV personal-
ity spoke he was holding his fourth Primetime Emmy Award, this one for best game show host for his helming of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” He’s up for another Sunday for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Kimmel is, undoubtedly though, a defender of Stephen Colbert — and voted for him too.
Colbert cancellation
When his friend and fellow latenight host Colbert had his “Late Show” canceled in July, three days after criticizing a settlement between Trump and CBS parent company Paramount Global as it was seeking administration approval for a merger, Kimmel cursed CBS and shared his love for Colbert. Executives insisted the decision was financial.
Later he erected a billboard in Los Angeles declaring “I’m vot-
ing for Stephen,” throwing his endorsement to his opponent in their Emmy race in the talk series category.
Kimmel was on a long vacation from ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” when Colbert’s cancellation happened, but weighed in when he returned last week.
“CBS, all of a sudden out of the blue, claimed ‘The Late Show’ was losing $40 million a year and then miraculously got FCC approval to sell their company, which is what they wanted,” he said.
Asked how long he plans to keep his current show going, Kimmel kept it vague.
“I’m not prepared to answer that question, but it is something I think about a lot,” he said. “Each day is a new adventure, and I kind of take them as they come, is that a good way of dodging the question?”
p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard
meeting will be held with a virtual component in Council Chambers located at 500 Castro Street, Second Floor, Mountain View, CA 94041, broadcast live at mountainview.legistar.com, on YouTube at MountainView.gov/YouTube, and on Comcast Channel 26.

board, said he would like to see more signage to decrease the confusion drivers may come across.
Shneider said he has lost two parking spaces in front of his home and doesn’t see “No Parking” zones as necessary for the program. He recommended that one-way streets be considered.
Want slower streets
Resident Anna Axiaq, who has lived in the neighborhood for 18 years, has noticed a difference but said the streets should have a speed limit of 15 to 20 mph. However, 25 mph is the standard speed limit in neighborhoods, said transportation consultant Mark Spencer.
“Given all this change that’s going on in our neighborhood and the fact that there’s going to be more traffic, I think it is great that we are doing this now as our neighborhood is evolving and as the area is becoming more of a biotech hub,” Axiaq said.
Council also reviewed Monday increasing the height from 120 to 155 feet for future developments. This increase would help the city create more parks in the neighborhood, according to Rendell Bustos, senior planner.
Mayor Sara McDowell asked where parks would be located, but it would be up to developers and their proposals, Bustos said.
Who benefits?
She said the height increase would be more of interest to the developer and not to council.
Councilmen John Dugan and Neil Layton supported the height increase but were interested in having more clarification on the community benefits.
Council will be revisiting the topic in a later council meeting.
San Carlos officials have reviewed projects that are growing the biotech district. Most recently, The Minkoff Group is proposing two office buildings at 789 Old County Road that are 69 to 85 feet tall.
NERVOUS MANHUNT
they are treating as the latest act of political violence to convulse the United States across the ideological spectrum. The photos of a person in a hat, sunglasses and a long-sleeve black shirt, with a backpack, as well as a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest suggested that law enforcement thought tips from the public might be needed to crack the case.
Two people who were taken into custody shortly after Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University were later released, forcing officials to chase new leads on a separate person of interest
they pursued yesterday. During a news conference yesterday with FBI Director Kash Patel, authorities showed a video of the suspected shooter racing across the roof of the building where the shot was fired, dropping down to the ground and fleeing into the woods. In the process, officials say, the shooter left behind imprints, including a palm print, that investigators hope can yield clues to their identity.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox pleaded for the public’s help in the search for the shooter.
“We have people all over the country trying to bring this perpetrator to justice,” he said, adding that the FBI had received more than 7,000 leads and tips.
Will seek death
He said they’re getting everything in order to pursue the death penalty.
The direct appeals for public support at the nighttime news conference, including new and enhanced photos, appeared to signal law enforcement’s continued struggles a day and a half into the search to identify the shooter and pinpoint the person’s whereabouts.
Authorities didn’t take questions, and Patel did not speak at the news conference.
One clue in the investigation was a Mauser .30-caliber, bolt-action rifle found in a towel in the woods. A spent cartridge was recovered from the chamber, and three other rounds were loaded in the magazine, according to information circulated among law enforcement and described to The Associated Press. The weapon and ammunition were being analyzed by law enforcement at a federal lab.
The attack, carried out in a broad daylight as Kirk spoke about social issues from a university courtyard, was captured on grisly videos that spread on social media.
The videos show Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump who played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters, speaking into a handheld microphone when suddenly a shot rings out. Kirk can be seen reaching up with his right hand as blood gushes from the left side of his neck. Stunned spectators gasp and scream before people start running away.
Blended into the crowd
The shooter, who investigators believe blended into the campus crowd because of a “college-age” appearance, fired a single shot from the rooftop where they were perched before jumping off.
“I can tell you this was a targeted event,” said Robert Bohls, the top FBI agent in Salt Lake City.
Trump, who was joined by Democrats in condemning the violence, said he would award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian
honor in the U.S., while Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, arrived yesterday afternoon in Salt Lake City to visit with Kirk’s family. Vance posted a remembrance on X chronicling their friendship, dating back to initial messages in 2017, through Vance’s Senate run and the 2024 election.
“So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene,” Vance wrote. “He didn’t just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.”
Kirk’s casket was flown aboard Air Force Two from Utah to Phoenix, where his nonprofit political youth organization, Turning Point USA, is based. Trump told reporters he plans to attend Kirk’s funeral. Details have not been announced.
Answering question about shootings
Kirk was a conservative provocateur who became a powerful political force among young Republicans and was a fixture on college campuses, where he invited sometimes-vehement debate on social issues.
He was shot while attending one such event Wednesday, a debate hosted by Turning Point at the Sorensen Center on campus in what was billed as the first stop on Kirk’s “American Comeback Tour.”
The event generated a polarizing campus reaction. An online petition calling for university administrators to bar Kirk from appearing received nearly 1,000 signatures. The university issued a statement last week citing First Amendment rights and affirming its “commitment to free speech, intellectual inquiry and constructive dialogue.”
One such provocative exchange played out immediately before the shooting, as he was taking questions from an audience member about gun violence when the shot was heard.
Some attendees who bolted after the gunshot rushed into two classrooms full of students. They used tables to barricade the door and to shield themselves in the corners.
Someone grabbed an electric pencil sharpener and wrapped the cord tightly around the door handle, then tied the sharpener to a chair leg.
TROUBLED ––––
somebody to be staffed here all the time,” Clements said.
The substation provides officers with an additional location to work from to write up reports without needing to drive to the police department at 1301 Maple St., according to Clements.
Officers will be sporadically present, but it has still made the community feel safer, Clements said.
“This substation strengthens our ability to serve in several important ways. It allows us to achieve a visible, consistent and accessible presence in one of our busiest areas in the city,” Chief Kristina Bell said yesterday during the ribbon cutting.
The substation was created because police are at the shopping center and Caltrain station so often, owner Hunter Properties, set aside space in the shopping center. The idea has been in the works since December.
Resident Kris Johnson said in a letter to City Manager Melissa Stevenson Diaz that the shopping center, train and bus station has become a haven for people “drinking, littering, loitering and taking over our transit shelters for their own personal use.”
“In the last five to 10 years it started having ongoing problems with security and petty crime,” Johnson told the Post in December.
Some of the issues at Sequoia Station increased when the previous property owner, Lowe, planned to redevelop the shopping center into a series of housing, office and retail towers, and let vacancies occur.
But Hunter Properties bought Sequoia Station in 2023 for $53 million with a plan to improve the shopping center. Property co-owner Deke Hunter said he was proud of the partnership and its importance to the community.
