Council OKs Google rec facility on owl habitat By Daniel DeBolt

Strings on the upswing NEW PENINSULA UKULELE JAMS ARE DRAWING SINGING CROWDS By Rebecca Wallace

I

t takes all kinds for a ukulele jam. You’ve got the people sitting up front with their own gleaming ukes and digital clip-on tuners. They know all the songs. They can play while looking up. Then there are the newbies, their brows furrowed as they construct a G7 chord on a borrowed instrument. To sing and strum at the same time in “(How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window,” that’s like a small victory.

The nice thing about these evening jams at Dana Street Roasting Company in Mountain View is that both ends of the spectrum are equally welcome. So far, Ukulele Club Silicon Valley has held only a handful of these second-Monday-of-the-month jams at the cafe, but there are plenty of regulars who greet each other with grins, strum in synchronicity and sing with harmony. Meanwhile, club founder Dave Fichtner also makes ample room for beginners. He offers loaner See UKULELE, page 14

Incumbents battle newcomers in debate By Daniel DeBolt

hree City Council incumbents defended their records against three challengers in a debate hosted by the Chamber of Commerce Monday night The candidates tackled the topics of medical marijuana, the city’s golf course problems and the city budget. But first came the introductions, most notably from the newcomers. After noting that Google pays $90

million in property taxes a year, Google sales account manager Aaron Jabbari said, “If you trust a new idea, or a new candidate, big things can happen.” Longtime resident Greg David said, “I have always enjoyed the quality of life in Mountain View,” adding, “The council is out of touch with the common resident.” Google software engineer Dan Waylonis called himself a “sociable nerd who does have friends,” and

mentioned his desire for what he later called “a more searchable and transparent” city government. Budget concerns In his closing remarks, Waylonis drew ire from incumbents by saying that they “kicked the can down the road” when approving this year’s city budget. “The budget is balanced this year, See DEBATE, page 12

he City Council unanimously approved a 6.5-acre recreation facility that’s got nearly every activity a Google employee could want. The rub is that it sits on foraging grounds for the rare burrowing owl. The Google Athletic and Recreation field, or G.A.R.field for short, is a private outdoor buffet of recreation activities, including a soccer field, a basketball court, bocce ball courts, a horseshoe pit, a disc golf area and a putting green. The owls, about a dozen of whom live in gopher holes nearby, use the site to hunt for mice, voles and insects at night. Council members expressed concern about impacts on the owls and ended up requiring Google to pay $20,000 to the city’s burrowing owl preservation efforts, among other things. Google must also include signs explaining why dogs aren’t allowed in the area and put timers on the facility’s lights so they do not disturb the owls’ night-time foraging after 11 p.m. City staff had originally proposed that Google pay $10,000 towards burrowing owl preservation, saying it was hard to link the project to a specific cost for the impact on the owls. “Ten thousand dollars is not a lot of money,” said Shani Kleinhaus of the Audubon Society, who seemed to be the owl’s best defender. She has been helping to shape the owl mitigations in the project for months. She said that Google should have its famous weed-eating goats out “every spring to make sure the grass is short so the burrowing owls can live in their burrows happily.” The owls don’t like vegetation blocking their view of predators. The site is on the northeast corner of Amphitheatre Parkway and Garcia Avenue and is currently used as a soccer field by Google employees. Google purchased the

property from pharmaceutical company Alza, which had council approval (now expired) for an 117,000-square-foot office building in 1995. Impacts to burrowing owls were mitigated at the time by setting aside owl habitat to the north east in Shoreline Park. Jay Bechtel, Google’s real estate and construction project manager, said Google’s headquarters across the street from the site is a “world class facility” and that the recreation amenities are part of that as well as being exciting for employees. Bechtel was amenable to all of the requests from the council, even about paying the $20,000, which Google could have easily made a case against, city staff noted. An environmental report for the city by ESA and Albion Environmental describes the project as having a “potentially significant impact” on the burrowing owls, which numbered just over a dozen last year. But it also says mitigation could make the impact less than significant. “The loss of foraging habitat and potential nesting habitat at this site would be a significant impact but this impact has already been mitigated through the creation and management of 19.5 acres of See GARFIELD, page 11

Remaking Rengstorff Park WISH LIST FOR UPGRADES INCLUDES NEW POOL, TEEN CENTER, ‘SPRAYGROUND’ By Daniel DeBolt

Sebija Haxhicani passes the ball as Orlando Gomez Delgadillo reaches up to block it at a rugby demonstration at Bubb School on Sept. 15.

On the ball: youth rugby takes off By Nick Veronin

A

t the end of last year, Paul Lynch set out to create the largest youth rugby league in California. This year, according to his estimates, he will likely reach that goal. Lynch, a native of Belfast, Ireland who grew up playing rugby, said he has signed up about 100 participants for the second season of his American Youth Rugby League. Add the 75 players that will be merging with his new league from an extant association in Los Gatos, and Lynch is halfway there. If he gets 350 participants, he said he will have the largest youth rugby organization in the

state. Because enrollment only just began, Lynch is confident he will reach that number. “There’s not enough youth rugby in our area,” said Lynch, who lives in Mountain View. He explained that there are more rugby leagues in the North Bay and East Bay, and that until now, parents had to drive long distances if their youngsters were interested in playing the sport — which is often described as a combination of football and soccer. Lynch said the league, which he co-founded with fellow rugby enthusiast Tom Trill, is not only growing in numbers, but that the players have also come a long way in just one year. This year

he feels his league will be ready to participate in a tournament held in the Sacramento area. To conclude the season, Lynch plans to take all of the league’s teams — he hopes for 20 squads of about 15 players each — to the tournament. He said rugby is a fun sport that is easy to learn and not as dangerous as people often think. The younger participants in his league play touch or flag rugby, for starters. But even when the kids get into full-contact play, he said injuries are not too common. That’s because players are penalized for above-the-waist tackles and are instructed to tackle by the legs and from the side, instead of head on. V

Incumbents rack up endorsements BUT CHALLENGERS DECIDE NOT TO SEEK ENDORSEMENTS AT ALL By Daniel DeBolt

A

s the three incumbents for City Council rake in endorsements from community leaders and groups like the Sierra Club and the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce, their opponents have decided to forgo the practice altogether. Google employees Dan Waylonis and Aaron Jabbari, as well as longtime resident Greg David, have all decided that endorsements won’t

be a part of their campaign strategy. Not one of the three council candidates has a list of endorsements online. “I am not actively seeking endorsements. I won’t be in anyone’s pocket,” said David in an e-mail. Waylonis and Jabbari did not respond to request for comments for this story, but Waylonis had previously mentioned that he wasn’t seeking any endorsements. Meanwhile, incumbent Margaret

Abe-Koga has the highest number of endorsements, including eight political organizations, over four-dozen elected officials and dozens of residents and community leaders. She is the only candidate to obtain an endorsement from either the Firefighters Association or Police Officers Association, which she did earlier this summer. She is also the only candidate who applied for them. Abe-Koga said See ENDORSEMENTS, page 6

bout 60 residents had a rare opportunity to collectively imagine a major revamp of Rengstorff Park in Mountain View. There were nearly as many ideas as there were attendees at the workshop held Sept. 24 at the Senior Center, but a few stood out when participants were asked to place colored dots next to potential new features for the park. A water feature was by far the most popular, either as a piece of public art or as a “sprayground” for children to play in. “A sprayground is a great way to bring people together and is well liked by the kids,” is

Rengstorff Park is already a place of much activity in a relatively small space. how one group of participants pitched the idea. The purpose of the meeting is to gather input for a new “master plan” to redevelop the entire park, which was built in 1959 and is one of the city’s three largest parks. It is unlikely that the park’s new Senior Center and Child Care Center will be touched, but there are numerous older structures in the park such as the city’s 1962 Community Center, that the council would like to find the money to replace, as well as the Rengstorff Pool, and the skate park. The Rock Church property at 263 Escuela Avenue was recently purchased by the city and will also be included in the park’s master plan. One group of a dozen frequent park users participated via a Spanish translator. Some said they were concerned with safety in the park. “There are still some groups who get together and they are not friendly for the families,” said one resident through a translator. Another pointed out that there isn’t enough light for a nighttime walk in the park. “We need more bathrooms,” said another.

After some small group discussions, several groups said they hoped for a teen center, which is possible at the Rock Church property. A teen center was supposed to be built along with the city’s new senior center, but a lack of funds has put it on the backburner for many years. Some said they wanted a “multigenerational” center, which could be used by adults when teens were in school or not using it. A neighbor said she was scared of plans to heavily use the church property and hopes for a quiet “Zen garden” there instead. Other clearly popular features for a new Rengstorff Park include more public art and a place to watch outdoor movies. “I find it interesting that 92 percent of our blue dots are in activities,” said one participant. “Parks are activities for a lot of See RENGSTORFF, page 10

Teachers OK salary freeze By Nick Veronin

T

eachers and staff of the local high school district have agreed to forego salary increases for two years. The pay freeze, together with a change in retirement benefits for some staff members, will help the Mountain View Los Altos high school district save money, officials said. At its Sept. 13 meeting, the high school board approved salary freezes for teachers and school staff represented by the California School Employees Association. The teachers union and the local chapter of the CSEA went along with the district’s plan, which ensures that salaries will not increase for employees represented by either union until the 2011-2012 school year at the earliest. “Our whole goal is to maintain the current salaries and benefits, avoid furlough days and possible layoffs,” said See FREEZE, page 11

Council OKs Butterfly-themed mini-park By Daniel DeBolt

A

design for a mini-park at the west end of Dana Street was unanimously approved by the council Tuesday night, despite some previous disagreement over its design among neighbors. Sometime in the next few weeks firefighters will burn down the vacant homes on the .6-acre lot for training purposes. Construction will start in late spring 2011 on the park, which will include a butterfly garden, walking paths and a playground. Completion is set for winter 2011. Mariposa is the Spanish word for butterfly, and city staff say a butterfly theme will be carried throughout the park. “I’m looking forward to the butterflies in this park, the

mariposas,� said Councilwoman Margaret Abe-Koga. Mayor Ronit Bryant said the park would be easy to name. The park’s main path will provide a new connection to Mariposa Avenue from the end of Dana Street. Several existing trees on the site will remain along with several new trees, park benches, a children’s water and sand play area, a rose garden, a trellised entry and a playground aimed at kids between 2 and 12 years old. The park was designed by Robert Mowat Landscape Architects with the input of neighbors in community meetings in March and April. Neighbors opposed a design that many had previously favored that placed the children’s play area along the street. The final design places the children’s play areas in the middle of the park, with a low

fence in front of the park to keep children from running into the street. A walking path was also removed from the rear of the park to enlarge the lawn area. The project is funded by $1.3 million in park land funds, $68,000 of which will go to Delta Oil Field Services to scrape the site. V

Schools ready as disaster shelters League taps Kasperzak as VP By Nick Veronin

W

hile people rushed to flee the the devastating natural-gas explosion and fire that struck the Crestmoor neighborhood of San Bruno last month, safety officials at Skyline College, situated about a mile from the blast site, sat tight and encouraged students to begin preparing to spend the night. According to Chief Ron Levine of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Police Department, he and his staff would do the same if a disaster struck in Mountain View or another nearby city. That’s because Foothill and De Anza colleges, like Skyline and many other schools across the state, not only have plans for their own students, they are also ready to double as hubs for emergency personnel and shelters for displaced families in the event of a major emergency. “We’re always thinking about these types of incidents,” Levine said about the San Bruno conflagration. “We know that in disaster situations the colleges are put to task.” Both Foothill and De Anza partner with the Red Cross, which

is prepared to turn both campuses into community shelters. The district also works with Cal Fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention, which is ready to use school parking lots as staging areas to launch emergency operations. Stanford’s Life Flight helicopters periodically practice landing on the district’s athletic fields. Colleges are not the only local educational facilities that are called upon to serve the community in the event of an emergency. The Mountain View Los Altos Unified High School District and the Mountain View Whisman School District are also ready to accommodate emergency personnel and displaced community members. The high school district has an agreement with the Red Cross similar to Foothill-De Anza’s, said Steve Hope, an associate superintendent. Each year the school district holds a major drill in which emergency crews come to Mountain View and Los Altos high schools. The district also invites shortwave radio operators to come in and practice using their equipment, Hope said. In the event that both land lines and cell phones are disrupted, shortwave radios can be used to coordinate response

teams. The Red Cross has trailers full of emergency supplies on the Crittenden and Graham middle school campuses, ready to be deployed, according Kathi Lilga, executive assistant to the superintendent for Mountain View Whisman. All three districts abide by national and state safety protocols developed to streamline operations for emergency response teams. That way, if help is needed from outside the districts, those coming in to assist should be able to jump right in and be on the same page — a feat that is often easier said than done. According to Levine, as recently as the Oakland Hills fire of 1991, it was not uncommon for emergency responders from different agencies to use different protocols and terminology. This often led to confusion and contributed to inefficient responses. Inefficiencies in emergency response can ultimately cost lives, he said. “It really helps when agencies are using the same system,” Lilga said, referring to the national and state emergency communications protocols. “It gets everybody on the same page speaking the same language.”

C

ity Council member Mike Kasperzak has been named vice president of the League of California Cities and is on track to become its president. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kasperzak said he expects to be chosen as president of the league a year from now. The position holds responsibilities similar to those of the mayor of Mountain View, running meetings and working closely with league staff. The league advocates for the interests of California cities at the state level. For example, when state legislators recently learned that city officials in the city of Bell were paying themselves outrageous salaries some had knee-jerk reactions, such as proposing salary caps for city officials. The league pointed out that such a move would not pass muster legally, Kasperzak said. “Legislators were trying to do things in response to Bell which were quite knee-jerk,”

Kasperzak said. “One of the things we do is try and educate the Legislature in what the reality is instead of what they think it is.” Kasperzak is a licensed lawyer, a practicing mediator and is in the middle of his third four-year-term on the council. He stepped down in 2006 after eight years and was re-elected in 2008. Since 2003, Kasperzak said the league “has gotten pretty active in ballot measure campaigns,” such as the dueling 2008 eminent domain propositions, 99 and 98. The League backed Proposition 99 and defeated the wealthy, conservative groups backing Proposition 98. Kasperzak said the league’s focus lately has been on backing Proposition 22, a November ballot initiative that would prevent the state from taking money from cities to balance the state budget, as it has in recent years.

Attempted homicide near Whisman Park A local man, with the aid of a friend, was able to get himself to the hospital Saturday night after a group of teens beat him and stabbed him multiple times with a screwdriver, police said. The 24-year-old victim was walking toward Whisman Park to take the Stevens Creek Trail home shortly after 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 25, when a group of teenage boys jumped the man — ostensibly for no reason — said Liz Wylie, a spokeswoman for the Mountain View Police

Department. Police received a call from neighbors at 11:43 p.m. who said the mugging took place at Walker Drive and Taylor Court, Wylie said. The teens fled into the park and onto the trail, witnesses said, and police ultimately contacted the boys as they were exiting the trail near Middlefield Road. After detaining several boys, the police received word that the victim was in stable condition and being treated for stab wounds from a screwdriver.

Police located the screwdriver, and three of the teenage boys — two 16 and one 17, all from Mountain View — were booked into juvenile hall and charged with attempted homicide, Wylie said. Two other teens were detained but not charged. The investigation is still in progress, Wylie said. Police believe the incident may have been gang related and are attempting to determine if others were involved. —Nick Veronin

demand for swimming activities “outstripped� existing pool facilities at Rensgtorff Park. Others said the park needed more green space. And yet others called for storage and new spaces in a new Community Center. One fix for the lack of space could be closing Crisanto Avenue on the north edge of the park and using the space to extend the park, said architects from the design firm on the project, Anderson Brulet, echo-

The ideal park was described as a place of “retreat� that “pulls you in and is really appealing to the eye,� participants said. After getting some direction from the City Council in the next few months, architects said they would be developing four different “master plan scenarios� for the community to consider in another public outreach meeting.

burrowing owl habitat north and east of the project site as discussed above. However, the proposed project could have additional indirect impacts on burrowing owls nearby as a result of increased lighting and predation that could result from increased raptor perches on light poles and trees,” the report states. The report adds that the owls could disappear from the area entirely if their numbers continue to decline as they have in recent years.

Chris Pedersen, a labor relations representative for the CSEA. Superintendent Barry Groves said that the district has made $3.2 million in cuts to its budget over the last two years, and in order to “stay solvent” the district needs to take a long view of its financial situation. “We’re looking at not only this year, but trying to balance our budget in the future,” Groves said. Pedersen said the CSEA understands the district’s efforts to save money in trying financial times.

developing new treatments.” Gopi and Langston hope to begin collecting data from subjects as soon as possible. Langston’s Parkinson’s Institute will study the subjects in a clinical setting, collecting specimens, like blood and spinal fluid, and taking notes on the progression of symptoms. Meanwhile, at El Camino Hospital, patients will see Gopi or one of his colleagues and have their brains imaged using the multi-head gamma camera. Gopi will use the camera in conjunction with a radio isotope

“A recent population viability analysis of the three largest burrowing owl colonies in the south San Francisco Bay Area (at) San Jose International Airport Moffett Airfield and Shoreline Park showed that all three colonies have a high risk of extinction if population trends observed in the last 11-plus years continue,” the report says. Partly in response to pressures from the Audubon Society, the city also proposed Google post a sign that explains why dogs won’t be allowed in the area, take”anti-perch measures” to keep other birds from preying on the owls, do an “owl occupancy survey” during construction and limit construction

during owl nesting season. Kleinhaus also requested that the barbecue be removed from the plans because the fire and smell of food could draw burrowing owl predators to the area. City staff and Google’s consultant disagreed, saying that barbecues at Shoreline Park have not caused problems for the owls there. But the council decided to study the issue further before allowing the barbecue, which would not be used regularly, Bechtel said. City staff said the facility will be temporary until an office building is built on the site by Google sometime in the future.

“Given the state of the state and current funding, it’s the only real option,” he said, in reference to the current long-stalled California budget, which was scheduled to be passed on July 1, but has yet to be approved. Without a budget in place, school districts can only estimate the funding they might receive from the state. Groves said the district is anticipating a $1 million reduction once the Legislature approves a state budget. Groves also said the district will see a 1.7 percent dip in revenue from property taxes this year. The district is also making a change to the health benefits package of retiring classified

employees, identified as anyone who is not a manager or a teacher. The change stipulates that when a classified employee retires, if the employee is eligible to receive health benefits the district will pay only up to the amount it pays for current employees for coverage. Groves said that change will likely be approved at the next school board meeting. Groves said that due to the uncertainty of the state budget, the property tax decrease and the fact that salary increases are negotiated anew each year he is not sure how much money the district will save when the changes are implemented.

agent called DATscan, which is injected into a patient’s blood stream. DATscan mimics a kind of dopamine molecule that is drawn to two areas of the brain that control movement and are often impacted by Parkinson’s — the basal ganglia and brain stem. “The agent goes in like a Nike missile and labels the cells that you want to look at, so that you can see them on the scanner,” Langston said. The result is a detailed, threedimensional image of the basal ganglia and brain stem used to measure the extent of the damage caused by the disease. “With imaging, you have an objective way to quantify the

extent of the disease and its progression as well as the response to any potential treatments and therapies,” Gopi said. Ultimately all the data yielded by the researchers at El Camino, The Parkinson’s Institute and all the other sites around the world will be made available to the scientific community at large, giving researchers a chance to parse the research and make discoveries of their own. Brooks, of the Fox Foundation, said Bay Area residents who have recently been diagnosed with PD and are interested in participating in the study should contact the Parkinson’s Institute in Sunnyvale at 800655-2273.

Hoax call closes downtown street By Nick Veronin

O

fficers descended upon the 800 block of Villa Street Monday afternoon after receiving a call from a man who claimed to have shot a woman and who insisted that he would fire on any officers who pursued him, Mountain View police said. However, after closing a portion of Villa Street and combing the area for the gunman, who had said he was hiding in a Dumpster, police found nothing out of the ordinary. They now believe that the caller may have been a prankster, on drugs, mentally disturbed or perhaps all three, according to police spokeswoman Liz Wylie.

N CRIMEBRIEFS

BURGLARS TAKE JEWELRY, IPOD

“The person was clearly a confused individual,� Wylie said of the caller, who phoned police at 12:31 p.m. to say that he had shot a woman and that she needed medical attention. He told police that he and the woman he had shot were in a Dumpster on the 800 block of Villa Street. But over the course of the phone call, which lasted until just before 3 p.m., the man gave conflicting statements about his location, at one point telling police that he was out of state. “It started to become apparent that he was not downtown with a gun,� Wylie said. “There were a lot of things he said that didn’t make any sense.� Police are still working with AT&T in an attempt to trace the source of the call, she said.

An open sliding back door is the suspected point of entry in a Sept. 21 burglary at a home in the 1000 block of Boranda Avenue, police said. One of the victims, a 47-year-old man, reported that he returned to his home to find the front door open and immediately suspected something was awry, according to Mountain View police spokeswoman Liz Wylie. Wylie said the man estimated that the burglary must have taken place somewhere between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and that the burglar or burglars may have gained entry through a sliding back door that was left open. Miscellaneous jewelry and an iPod were stolen.

LAPTOPS TAKEN FROM DUPLEX Two laptops, valued at about $1,500, were stolen from a duplex in 900 block of W. Dana Street on Sept. 21, police said. The victim, a 55-year-old woman, told police that the break-in occurred some time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to police spokes-

woman Liz Wylie. Police suspect that the burglar or burglars got in by reaching through an opening created by a broken window on the duplex’s front door and unlocking the door, Wylie said. The window had been broken out of the door previously but had not been fixed.

POLICE HAVE LEADS IN BURGLARY Checkbooks, cameras and a laptop were among the items taken from a home in the 800 block of Sevely Drive some time before noon on Sept. 21, police said. The victims, a 44-year-old man and a 37-yearold woman, told police that the items went missing sometime between about 11 a.m. and noon, according to Liz Wylie, a spokeswoman for Mountain View police. Also stolen: a leather jacket, and miscellaneous jewelry. Wylie said police did not know how the burglar or burglars gained entry to the home. The doors were locked and should have been locked at the time of the burglary. However, she added, detectives on the case have some strong leads.

‘Sunday Arts’ kicks off with dance, films Two events this month promise to bring out the “best of Mountain View� in musical and theatrical performances with free shows. The events dubbed “Sunday Arts Live� are set for Oct. 3 and Oct. 17. The events are organized by a group called Arts Action 21, which was initiated by members of the city’s performing arts committee. In the group’s honor, on Tuesday evening Mayor Ronit Bryant proclaimed October to be Arts and Humanities month. This weekend’s event will be held in the Center for Performing Arts at 500 Castro St. and begins at 1:30 p.m. It will feature

All the while, John Kaay is playing smoothly in the back of the room, occasionally consulting the song sheets that he downloaded through the club’s Yahoo group. He doesn’t seem to know anyone here yet, but he’s clearly not a beginner. “It’s my first time here, but I’ve been playing for a long time,� he says. He first heard about the club at Palo Alto’s Gryphon Stringed Instruments, where he’s been a regular for 30 years, practicing not only ukulele but also fiddle, guitar, bass and banjo. Tonight Kaay is playing a Kamaka ukulele from Hawaii, probably from the mid-’70s, purchased on eBay and repaired at Gryphon. It’s a soprano uke, smaller than concert, tenor and baritone ukuleles. Of all the stringed instruments in all the world, what makes the uke stand out? “It’s a great instrument to sing with,� Kaay says. And, of course, it has only four

Putting pressure on the rail project

A

lthough Mountain View did not choose to join the action, three nearby Peninsula communities are suing the California High-Speed Rail Authority, charging, among other things, that its latest environmental impact report is incomplete and inadequate. The city councils from Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto all voted last week to file a legal challenge to the authority’s EIR, which had recently been slightly modified and then reapproved after an earlier suit by Menlo Park and Atherton. Not satisfied, the communities, joined by Palo Alto, voted to sue again, and for good reason, we think. From the cities’ point of view, the biggest problem is the authority’s use of a model that many consider to contain greatly inflated ridership estimates that make the EIR’s validity “very questionable,� according to Stuart Flashman, the attorney for the cities. And there is also a continuing dispute over the authority’s business plan, which critics have called inadequate ever since it was released. All three cities believe the authority has treated their welldocumented and oft-repeated concerns with disdain, despite many efforts to find common ground in the routing and design of the tracks that would carry the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco trains through each city. As the high-speed rail discussion unfolded, the cities were led to believe that they would have some say in the final design of the tracks, but as time went on they learned that is not the case. Now, after more than a year of debate, it appears that the rail authority is no closer to resolving disputes over the project than it was in the beginning. Comments from authority board members show that most would like to see the Peninsula critics just go away. But that is not going to happen. There is a package of deadlines fast approaching for the project to qualify for up to $4.3 billion in federal funds. The draft EIR must be completed by this December; the state Legislature, with the support of local Sen. Joe Simitian, has ordered the authority to produce a “viable business plan� by next February or face possible loss of support from the Legislature. The final environmental review must be completed by September 2011 for the project to qualify for additional federal funds, and construction must start by September 2012. The entire project must be completed by September 2017. These are not insignificant deadlines. If the rail authority has any hope of meeting them, it needs to respond to the Peninsula cities’ concerns, including those of Mountain View and other cities, so it can get on with its work. However you may feel about high-speed rail, it is hard to argue against those who say the project needs a viable business plan based on reasonable ridership estimates. And just like Menlo Park, Atherton and Palo Alto, which will see trains run through residential or heavily developed areas, Mountain View officials should expect the rail authority to meet all the cities at least halfway in their effort to reduce the project’s impact. We hope this lawsuit will get someone’s attention at the rail authority. It is time for these questions to be answered.

VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY

GOOD DECISION TO REJECT STATION I was heartened to see that Mountain View has joined Palo Alto and Redwood City in rejecting the high-speed rail station. The rail authority’s demands were so outrageous, expensive and destructive that I can’t imagine that any city along the Peninsula could or would want to build such a station. This is a good first step. As envisioned, high-speed rail will create an ugly gash all of the way up the Peninsula, a gash that will disrupt lives, property, and traffic in every city that it scars. I urge Mountain View to join the effort to block high-speed rail construction anywhere along the Peninsula. If the system must be built, then the rail authority must find a far less disruptive and expensive alternative to the peninsula option. Personally, I think it’s obvious that California can’t afford it and that the entire project must be stopped. William Hitchens Sunnyview Lane

SAY NO TO PROPOSITION 23 Shakespeare’s Hamlet speaks of “taking arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them.� California is facing a sea of troubles and has begun ending them. Specifically, AB-32, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction ballot measure, has already generated a series of practical plans to improve our ability to use fuel more efficiently and to avoid activities that produce far more CO2 than economic benefits. Proposition 23 must be

opposed because it will bring these beneficial programs crashing to a halt. And while our air quality worsens, hypocrites in high places will continue to export our jobs and pocket the profits from pain-free pollution brought to you by Texas Oil, the makers of Prop. 23. Just vote no. Ed Taub Devoto Street

HIGH COST FOR HIGH-SPEED STATION In response to Tracy Schwartz’ letter last week supporting a high-speed rail station for Expo visitors: the station might sound like a good idea on the surface but 90 percent of the public speakers at the Mountain View study session on the station spoke out against it for good reasons. It would cost Mountain View $150 million for a multi-story parking structure and traffic during rush-hours would be severely congested. Residents living near the proposed station are almost unanimously opposed to it. The city has been asking for a year for noise and ground vibration information on these trains, which are expected to rumble through town at 125 miles per hour, but so far, has not gotten any information from the HighSpeed Rail Authority. It’s time Mountain View did what Menlo Park recently did and join with the other cities along the line in the lawsuit against the High-Speed Rail Authority to make sure they respect the environmental needs of Peninsula residents.

Pluto will get more positive attention in 2015, when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is expected to make its closest approach to the body. In the meantime, dining at Pluto’s in Palo Alto isn’t much of a problem.

The chicken Caesar salad is large and reasonably priced at Pluto’s.

is a salad station, a grill station and a pay station. Patrons grab paper menus, place their orders at the appropriate station, have the menu punched to signify what was ordered, wait for that portion of the order to be made, then continue to the next station or cash register. There are discreet signs directing traffic flow — and, trust me, plenty of fellow diners to help you out should confusion reign. What looks rather cosmically chaotic is organized and orderly after all. Elbow to elbow, cooks toss salads, grill meats, assemble plates and fill beverage orders behind a glass partition. During busy hours, the staff works at warp speed. Occasionally, there is a bottleneck at the pay station. That part of the crew is responsible for filling beverage orders; plucking brownies, bars and cookies from glass containers; dishing out side orders; and other tasks. But even at the busiest of times, the backup doesn’t take long to

clear. Best of all, there isn’t that distressing Styrofoam cup soliciting tips at the cash station, or anywhere else on the premises. Hooray for Pluto’s. With food in hand, diners eating in parties of larger than one might take a moment to find a place to sit, especially during the midday crush. Seating is first come, first served. The unadorned, sturdy wood tables are bussed instantly and the dishes and flatware used are restaurant-grade, which adds a detail of quality to the topnotch food ingredients. While the menu revolves around salads, meats, sandwiches and sides, the potential combinations are astronomical. There are 18 possible salad components, a half-dozen meat options, and numerous side dishes. Salads are $5.15-$6.95, and meats and sandwiches $4.40$5.90, with extra meat or cheese added for a nominal fee. Side dishes generally hover around two dollars. There is a good-sized Little Astronauts children’s menu

as well. On a recent visit, the chicken Caesar salad ($6.95) I ordered was large and tossed before my very eyes. The lettuce was springgreen, the croutons crunchy, the chicken a tad on the salty side. The dressing was tame but not flat and in the right proportion, coating all the lettuce. Price-wise and freshness-wise, it was a good deal. One warm day, I decided to have an early Thanksgiving dinner. I ordered the carved turkey ($4.40) and was given the choice of white or dark meat or a combination of both, as well as mashed potatoes ($2), stuffing ($2) and a thimble of cranberries ($.50). Total: $8.90 for one terrific plate of pre-autumnal bliss. Another time, I opted for a grilled tri-tip steak sandwich on focaccia ($5.90). The beef was thin-sliced, tender and flavorful. The side of Orbital Onion Rings ($2) came with a tangy barbeque sauce for dipping.

The Celestial Sandwich special one week was a grilled chicken breast with cheese, peppers and lettuce ($5.90). It was a delicious lunch especially when coupled with the Crater of Orbital Soup ($4), which happened to be a hearty, flavor-packed, Tuscan bean potage with chunks of chicken. The only dish I wasn’t enthralled with was the macaroni

and cheese side ($2.50). It wasn’t bad, just too plain. Even browned bread crumbs on top would have added another dimension. In all, a minor complaint. For beverages, there are coffees, teas, juices, sodas and waters. Pluto’s has beer, including a house ale on tap made by Pyramid Breweries. Wine labels rotate among Estancia, Mondavi and Ravenswood labels, $4.25-$5.25 per glass. Pluto’s is exactly as Louis Kimball described it to me: a restaurant positioned between fastfood and fine dining that uses

nutritious ingredients and attractive pricing. Sometimes the simplest foods can be out of this world. V

N MOVIEREVIEWS

THE AMERICAN --

(Century 16, Century 20) For those making throwback, ‘70s-styled paranoid thrillers, it’s clear by now that George Clooney is the go-to guy. But one should have a good reason (and a good script) to go there, and the spare “The American� sets off ill-equipped. Based on Martin Booth’s novel “A Very Private Gentleman,� “The American� concerns Jack (or is it Edward?), an aging contract killer who finds out the hard way that he’s become a target. And there you have it: See Jack run, see Jack build a custom rifle, see Jack bed a prostitute, see Jack suspect everyone. Rated R for violence, sexual content and nudity. One hour, 43 minutes. — P.C.

CAIRO TIME ---

(Guild) Patricia Clarkson plays Juliette Grant, a Canadian in Cairo. Her United Nationsemployed husband Mark (Tom McCamus) has been held up at the refugee camp he runs in Gaza, leaving vacationing Juliette in a holding pattern. Mark arranges for old friend Tareq Khalifa (Alexander Siddig) to look after Juliette. A retired policeman and current coffee-shop owner, Tareq knows the city like the back of his hand. He’s a chivalrous breath of fresh air for Juliette, who’s unaccustomed to being the object of Cairo’s sometimes brusque public sexism. The picturesque romantic travelogue that follows is as obvious but elegant as the bit of symbolism that ends it. The plot consists of two people strolling around Cairo, each becoming more and more attuned to the attractiveness and uniqueness of the other. Rated PG for mild thematic elements and smoking. One hour, 30 minutes. — P.C.

EAT PRAY LOVE --1/2

(Century 16, Century 20) Julia Roberts plays Liz Gilbert, a writer who tells her astonished husband (Billy Crudup) she doesn’t want to live in unhappiness anymore. In a twink, she’s taken up with a younger lover (James Franco), but their affair also slumps into unhappiness. Realizing her problem is internal, Liz thinks of Ketut (Hadi Subiyanto), a medicine man she met in Bali on a journalism assignment. And so she hatches a plan to go to Italy and “Eat,� visit an ashram in India and “Pray,� and return to Indonesia where, if Ketut’s palm reading was right, she just may find “Love.� Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, some sexual references and male rear nudity. Two hours, 20 minutes. — P.C.

COMMUNITY MEETING NOTICE Shoreline Athletic Fields You are invited to a Community Meeting to discuss the design of athletic fields located in the North Bayshore Area. The planned fields are to be located off of Garcia Avenue in an area currently used by the City for storage of materials. The purpose of the meeting is to gather input from residents on field layouts and amenities to include in the complex. The meeting will be held at the following time and location: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010 6:30 P.M. TO 8:30 P.M. SENIOR CENTER 266 ESCUELA AVENUE, MOUNTAIN VIEW

GOING THE DISTANCE --

(Century 16, Century 20) Extra! Extra! Hip People with Cool Jobs Have Relationship Problems! Or so we “learn� in “Going the Distance,� the debut fiction feature from documentarian Nanette Burstein. Sarcasm aside, the raison d’etre of “Going the Distance� is exploring long-distance relationships. What a shame, then, that it has nothing much to say on the subject that isn’t completely obvious. Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are likeable as the star-crossed lovers but unlike its characters, the movie never takes flight. Rated R for sexual content including dialogue, language, drug use and brief nudity. One hour, 43 minutes. — P.C.

HEARTBREAKER ---

(Aquarius) There are matchmakers. And then there are matchbreakers, like Alex Lippi

If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please contact Rey Rodriguez, Senior Project Manager at the Public Works Department at (650) 903 6311 or by e-mail at rey.rodriguez@mountainview.gov

love. But a financial crisis and a hulking debt collector force him to break the last rule, and when an unscrupulous French financier asks him to stop the impending marriage of his daughter, Juliette (Vanessa Paradis), and her British fiance, he’s forced to accept. Not rated. 105 minutes. — R.P. (Century 16) Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, “Jack Goes Boating,� offers an alternative for those tired of the conventions of Hollywood romantic comedy. Hoffman’s lonely bachelor Jack is a sad-sack striver whom we catch in mid-�strive.� Alongside best bud Clyde (Ortiz), Jack works as a New York City limo driver, but he harbors an aspiration to climb the next rung on the social ladder by getting a job with the MTA. Clyde has a more important advancement in mind for his friend: pairing Jack up with Connie (Amy Ryan), a misfit co-worker of Clyde’s wife, Lucy (Rubin-Vega). Rated R for language, drug use and some sexual content. One hour, 29 minutes. — P.C.

MAO’S LAST DANCER --

(Aquarius) The film begins with an 11-yearold Li (Wen Bin Huang) being plucked from rural Shandong Province by a couple of Madame Mao’s cultural aides to attend the Beijing Dance Academy. The child becomes a teenager (Chengwu Guo) in tune with a quietly rebellious teacher who prioritizes the aesthetic of dance over its potential to be a propaganda tool. When his teacher fails to hold the tide of Communist influence, Li’s mentorship gap is filled by Ben Stevenson (Bruce Greenwood), the artistic director of the Houston Ballet. Stevenson singles out Li (Chi Cao) as a diamond in the rough. Thanks to a cultural exchange program, Li wins the chance to spend a few months in America under Stevenson’s tutelage. Rated PG for a brief violent image, sensuality, language and smoking. One hour, 57 minutes. — P.C.

THE TOWN ---1/2

(Cinearts, Century 20) Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is the conflicted leader of a bankand armored-car-robbing quartet based in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Mass. Doug’s unfortunate family background (his mother left when he was a toddler and his dad, played by the always excellent Chris Cooper, is languishing in a federal prison) helped create the criminal he has become. Things get complicated when the gang kidnaps bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) during a brazen robbery, blindfolding the terrified young woman and setting her free at the edge of a river. Doug’s right-hand man/best friend Jem (Jeremy Renner), a trigger-happy bruiser, expresses concern when he learns that Claire lives in the same Charlestown neighborhood as Doug and his pals. Doug agrees to keep an eye on Claire, which quickly develops into a passionate relationship between the two. Suddenly life isn’t so bleak for Doug. He is anxious to run away with Claire, leaving his drug-addicted ex (Blake Lively), relentless FBI agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm) and Charlestown itself behind him. But bigwig gangster Fergie Colm (Pete Postlethwaite) won’t let Doug hit the road without pulling off one last job: a dangerous and profitable heist of Boston’s Fenway Park. Rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, some sexuality and drug use. 2 hours, 5 minutes. — T.H.
