Donation is music to middle school teacher’s ears GIFT OF INSTRUMENTS WILL HELP KEEP CRITTENDEN’S MUSIC PROGRAMS STRONG By Nick Veronin

rittenden Middle School’s already large music program can continue growing thanks to a recent donation of $21,000 in instruments, including French horns, tenor and baritone saxophones, cellos, violas and flutes. The program needed the donation badly, according to Arlene Miyata, one of Crittenden’s two music teachers. “Getting these instruments really helped us out,” Miyata said. While close to 200 students

are enrolled in at least one of the school’s many music classes — including band, orchestra, guitar and choir — she estimated that as few as 10 percent of them have their own instruments. The rest are provided by the school. And that makes the recent donation all the more important, Miyata said. “I’m super excited,” she said. “I’m really happy about being able to meet the demand of students.” The donation was the result See MUSIC, page 8

Council says Century movie theater redevelopment must wait By Daniel DeBolt

espite protests from the developer, a proposal to redevelop the Century 16 movie theater on North Shoreline Boulevard with a new theater, fitness resort, hotel and offices will have to wait while city officials consider larger land use issues in the area, City Council members said Tuesday In a 3-3 vote, with Mike Kasperzak absent, there was not enough support on the council to allow the project to move forward before a precise plan for North Bayshore is adopted, probably in late 2014. The precise plan will determine where

higher density buildings will be allowed in North Bayshore as the city makes an effort to keep development away from wildlife habitat. A spokesperson for developer SyWest Enterprises said that there would be 950 fewer seats in the new 16-screen theater, reduced in size from 90,000 to 64,400 square feet, while the family-oriented fitness resort would be 88,000 square feet. A second phase of the project would add a hotel, parking structures and office space to the 15.35 acre site, which does not include the buildings that house Sports Page, Sunny Bowl, Cheryl Burke Dance studios and Laser Quest,

MV sex crime suspect linked to multiple cases By Nick Veronin

he San Jose man arrested earlier this month for allegedly sexually harassing a pair of young girls at Walmart is now suspected of being the perpetrator in two other sex crimes against children. Christopher Miller, a 70-yearold convicted sex offender, was booked into county jail on Sept. 7 after he allegedly groped himself while staring down two girls,

ages 6 and 9, in the costume aisle of the Walmart located at 600 Showers Dr. in Mountain View, according to Sgt. Sean Thompson, public information officer for the Mountain View Police Department. The mother of the two girls told a store security officer, who followed the man to the parking lot, and relayed a description of his vehicle to police. Officers arrested Miller in the parking lot of the adjacent Kohl’s department

among other small businesses around the theaters. The city’s new general plan allows for up to

eight stories. Council members were split on whether to move forward, with some saying they didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity for a new theater and dedicated bicycle lane through the property

on Shoreline Boulevard and others saying they wanted to honor a previous vote to not allow development planning ahead of the precise plan. Elizabeth Puccinelli of SyWest said the city had a “window of opportunity” to see the property redeveloped, and noted that there were “linkages” the city would want as part of the project. “They (Cinemark, the theater’s operators) are a business and they need to make a decision,” Puccinelli said. “There needs to be a clear and direct process we can go through. If we are waiting until the end of 2014, or if schedules slip and the precise plan isn’t adopted until 2015, then we are

unable to indicate there is this clear and precise process to go forward.” Council members asked why the existing theater couldn’t be renovated and updated, or for the new theater to move forward by itself. “The economics just aren’t there for a brand-new theater. I’m not going to get the return, especially in a smaller footprint,” Puccinelli said. “I need to add the additional business opportunities to make it economically viable.” Puccinelli said Cinemark would likely keep the theaters as is for

store, Thompson said. Aut horit ies now believe Miller sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in a Barnes Christopher & Noble store Miller in San Mateo on July 23 and exposed himself to three young girls at a Burger King restaurant in Union City on July 25, according to a joint press release issued by the police departments of Mountain View, San Mateo and Union City. San Mateo police have posi-

tively identified Miller as the suspect in the Barnes & Noble assault, according to Sgt. David Norris, public information officer for the SMPD. A press release issued at the time of the San Mateo assault reported that the 10-year-old girl was reading with her family at the Barnes & Noble located at 11 W. Hillsdale Blvd. when a man approached her and led her to a secluded area of the store. He then “exposed himself to the victim and had inappropriate physical contact with her.” Store surveillance video was used to identify Miller as the suspect in the case. Charges are

pending, according to the joint release. Union City authorities also suspect Miller in the Burger King incident. The UCPD’s public information officer could not be reached for comment, but the joint release noted that the investigation has been forwarded to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for charges. The joint release also emphasized that there may be unreported incidents involving Miller. People with information about similar incidents are encouraged to call their local law enforcement agency, the release stated.

Waldorf School charts a different path PRIVATE SCHOOL MARKS 30TH ANNIVERSARY ON PENINSULA WITH DOCUMENTARY FILM By Chris Kenrick

lazing an educational path with tools like wooden toys, modeling wax and gathered leaves rather than classroom Smartboards, the Waldorf School of the Peninsula kicks off its 30th anniversary celebrations this fall. The school, one of more than 1,000 worldwide based on the humanistic educational philosophy of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, has grown to a pre-K-12 enrollment of 312 students, but it’s been a long ride. Launched in Redwood City in 1984, Waldorf School of the Peninsula had six different homes in its early years — including, briefly, in Palo Alto. It’s now comfortably settled in Los Altos with a long-term lease on its K-8 campus and low-cost option to buy. A high school, which graduated its first student — one girl — in 2010, is six miles away on North Rengstorff Avenue in Mountain View. The high school has grown to 64 students

and amassed a respectable list of college acceptances. For parents like Mary Jane DiPiero, who was seeking creative alternatives to the traditional classroom, Waldorf “seemed just what I’d been looking for.” DePiero, whose daughter was in first grade the year the school opened, has maintained ties to the school through its history as a founding parent and later a teacher and administrator. “For the first years there was no track record, no personal experience about whether it really worked or not,” she recalled in an interview. “Now we have a lovely track record. What we say about a child who graduates is that they have a sense of who they are as human beings, that they have a real interest in learning and that they are courageous about trying new things because they’re used to doing all sorts of things. “They know they can do art, science, sports — they’re adventurous.” Waldorf families will celebrate the school’s 30-year track record

Sept. 20 with a public showing of “Preparing for Life,” a documentary about the school. “A lot of people have this idea that Waldorf is not very strong in math and sciences,” a physics teacher said in the film, going on to dispute the notion. That concern also was addressed in a 2011 front-page New York Times article highlighting the apparent contradiction of Silicon Valley executives sending their kids to a school that discourages the use of computers among children. “There were people at first who felt like they couldn’t quite be pure enough at Waldorf, and that’s true, because technology early on (in elementary years) is really discouraged still,” DiPiero said. But, she said, Steiner did not prescribe a rigid curriculum, rather encouraging people to “look at the time you’re living in, the place you’re living in and the student you see in front of you and make your curriculum accordingly.” In the case of Silicon Valley, she said, “If you think about the

children who are in front of you and the time and place, our place included technology big time, so you couldn’t really build a little enclave where it didn’t happen. “But there’s a real priority in nourishing creativity and the idea that you can do it on your own, in your own way and in your own head rather than having to have a computer or television set fill you up. You can motivate yourself, be imaginative with your own resources.” Though technology is kept out of elementary school classrooms, Waldorf parents struggle, like others, over television, iPhones

and the like. “There’s an ethic in the school that it’s discouraged, but our school has never been rigid in that sense,” DiPiero said. In the recent launch of its high school, Waldorf consulted with Stanford University senior lecturer Denise Clark Pope to find a “meaningful evaluation system that didn’t focus on grades,” Di Piero said. The high school adopted a grading system because of college admissions, “but we really deemphasized (grades) and went See WALDORF, page 8

Workshop for local immigrant students EVENT AIMS TO HELP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DREAMERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NAVIGATE THEIR WAY TO HIGHER EDUCATION By Nick Veronin

any students at Mountain View and Los Altos high schools will never have to worry about their ability to pay for and attend college. Other teens come from lowerincome families, but with hard work and good grades will be able to make their way through the higher education system thanks to grants and student loans. Then there are those who, despite working hard and earning high grades, face a seemingly impossible battle when it comes to getting into college. Elena Pacheco refers to them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dreamers,â&#x20AC;? and she wants them all to attend her workshop for immigrant students on Sept. 25 at Mountain View High School.

Dreamers are the children of illegal immigrants, who were brought to this country by a parent, grandparent, aunt or family friend when they were very young, students who call the United States home even though they are not legally citizens of this country. According to Pacheco, a local immigration rights activist, Dreamers live in fear of deportation and often with the implicit understanding that they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to attend college, since they often come from low-income families and are ineligible for state grants and other financial aid available to citizens. Dreamers get that moniker because they are the ones who stand to benefit most from the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM)

Why keep your teeth and gums healthy?

Act. Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the DREAM Act was passed into law in 2011, and gives students brought to the U.S. illegally an easier path to higher education. Pacheco is hosting the workshop to help local students understand how the act impacts them and learn what options they have when it comes to going to college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a huge need in

Mountain View with our Dreamers,â&#x20AC;? Pacheco said, explaining that the workshop will have information from a variety of sources and organizations established to help young undocumented immigrants. She said the workshop is intended to help give undocumented youth the information necessary to navigate a complex system and avoid those who would seek to take advantage of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure they have the resources they need,â&#x20AC;? she said. The event will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 25, from 5:30

p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Mountain View High School Theater, located at 3535 Truman Ave. Dreamers and their parents are encouraged to attend, Pacheco said. At the event, students can get information from a variety of organizations, including the Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN); the Mexican Consulate of San Jose; Foothill College.

of a grant proposal, which Miyata submitted to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation — an organization dedicated to helping underfunded public school music programs around the country. The MHOF was able to secure funding for the grant from Fidelity Investments, which has an investment center in Mountain View. “Fidelity recognizes the importance of supporting the arts in our local schools and is happy to help programs, like the one here at Crittenden School,” local branch manager Aaron Arga-

bright said in a press release. Miyata said supporting music in schools is indeed a worthy pursuit. It gives children an artistic and creative outlet and is an important component in a wellrounded education, she said. Now that Crittenden’s instrument supply isn’t spread as thin as it was before the donation, Miyata said she can work on making needed repairs to some of her department’s older instruments as well as on updating their inventory of percussion instruments. Miyata said she hopes to see the music department at Crittenden — which is already larger than some high school music programs — continue to grow. V

Field. Earlier this year, NASA put use of Hangar One and the operation of the expensive airfields up for bid with help from the General Services Administration. The consequences of the bidding for Mountain View and the local region are huge, possibly bringing more air traffic to the skies, more jobs, a major museum or a new venue for public events, depending on who has the winning proposal. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big obstacle to taking over the 1,000-acre airfield, three massive hangars and a golf course: money. Hangar One, which has been stripped of its siding, must be restored at a cost estimated to be well over $30 million. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $500,000 fee just to make a bid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bids are due Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. A winner will be announced in December. Google aside, â&#x20AC;&#x153;right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear who has the money to make a bid,â&#x20AC;? said Lenny Siegel, director of the Center for Public Environmental Oversight, who also sits on the boards of the Air and Space West Foundation and the Save Hangar One Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very challenging to bring forward a viable business proposal,â&#x20AC;? added Bill Berry, former NASA Ames deputy director. Siegel says he may resign from the Air and Space West Foundation board if director Larry Ellis proposes to bring business jets to Moffett in order to make for a viable proposal. Siegel has long advocated for Moffettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runways to be torn up and redeveloped with â&#x20AC;&#x153;badly neededâ&#x20AC;? transitoriented housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally would like to see it used as much as possible for public benefit,â&#x20AC;? Berry said, saying that he would favor giving Moffett to the local community the way the Presidio was in San Francisco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Lenny and I have differing opinions on this stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Williams, a pilot and blogger who has been involved in efforts to save Hangar One and build a museum inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we still need to look on community involvement in this whole process as a positive thing, even if different people in the community have different plans. Ultimately the responses to the RFP (request for proposals) are going to have to be based on the requirements of the RFP and really, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way around that.â&#x20AC;? Ellis, the director of Air and Space West Foundation, did not respond to requests for an interview. While many have stressed the

Private space center â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe the right use for the airfield is for space entrepreneurship,â&#x20AC;? said Sean Casey, co-founder of a group that wants to take over the 1,000 acres at Moffett to build the Silicon Valley Space Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovative Design Environment for Air and Spaceâ&#x20AC;? or IDEAS. Led by seasoned NASA players, his group has been organizing conferences and working with businesses in the private space industry since 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silicon Valley is not about museums, Silicon Valley is about building companies,â&#x20AC;? Casey said, taking a dig at the Air and Space West Foundation. He also blasted proposals to have the World Expo at Moffett Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason people come to Silicon Valley is to build the future, not focus on the past,â&#x20AC;? Casey said. Like those involved with the museum bid, Casey said he could not guarantee that SVSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan would not include use of the airfield by private business jets. Another group looking to expand on the numerous publicprivate partnerships at NASA is called the International Space Development Hub (ISDhub), led by retired teacher John Lee, financial guru Armen Pazian and Amalie Sinclair. Both groups have been around for several years, are seeking partners and investors and are tight-lipped about funding for the bid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money is going to come from our friends here in Silicon Valley,â&#x20AC;? Casey said, saying the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investors prefer to fund companies located nearby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a typical investment.â&#x20AC;? While ISDhub lacked specific plans, SVSC gave brochures to the Voice with floor plans showing space for two jumbo jets in Hangar One, along with a sixlevel, 100,000-square-foot structure in the middle of the hangar bay with offices renting at $13 a square foot and hangar bay space at $4.30 per square foot. In Hangar Two and Three thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for two airships and a combined total of 320,000 square feet of office structures, with the office space costing $4.30 a square foot and workshop and lab space at $2.10 a square foot. NASA would allow a 90,000-square-foot building to be developed on the airfield, likely to be used by business jets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a golf course that comes with the airfield, which ran up a $194,000 loss over the last year, according to records released Sept. 18. For long-term funding, ISDhubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armen Papazian has advocated in papers posted to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website that the United

Continued from page 1

States Federal Reserve print more money to fund space exploration and colonization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can afford to create and spend as much money as necessary to invent our future in space,â&#x20AC;? Papazian writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must embrace this enormous molecular universe as our own true and palpable context, for now and the foreseeable future. We must transcend debt-based money and drop scarcity as an economic world view to unlock the resources of our galaxy.â&#x20AC;? Among the groups associated with ISDhub is one aiming to build an elevator into space. Both groups seem open to having public events at the new facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody who uses the airfield needs to realize the public has a tremendous interest in space and space exploration,â&#x20AC;? Casey said, noting the huge crowd that gathered last week at NASA Ames for the launch of NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LADDEE spacecraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Washington continues to de-fund space exploration is a mystery to me.â&#x20AC;? Google is still interested Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executives have been leasing Hangar 211 at Moffett to house a fleet of private planes since 2007 but their flight director, Ken Ambrose of H211 LLC, said NASA has not responded to requests to renew the lease which expires next year. That comes after accusations against NASA for favoritism towards Google. Use of Hangar 211 was never put up for bid before the lease began in 2007. The outcry by Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley and Congressman Darryl Issa also meant that H211 recently lost access to discounted jet fuel at Moffett supplied by the Department of Defense, which likely saved Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation tens of thousands of dollars every year. H211 had proposed to restore Moffettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive icon Hangar One for its airplane fleet but was met with silence from NASA last year. Having already been accused of favoritism by members of Congress, NASA then put use of Hangar One and the expensive airfields up for bid with help from the General Services Administration. Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executives apparently remain interested, but have been tight-lipped about their plans. At an information meeting for bidders on Aug. 15 in San Francisco, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were about 8-10 people there who seemed to have some sort of Google affiliation,â&#x20AC;? Siegel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We remain interested in staying at Moffett, and are hopeful something will work out,â&#x20AC;? said Ambrose in a Sept. 16 email.

witness statements, Pumar ran a red light, swerved to avoid an oncoming truck making a lawful left turn, lost control of his Audi A4 and smashed into 50-year-old Ware. Ware’s body was thrown more than 150 feet and one of his legs was severed in the collision. Pumar, who stayed on the scene after the incident, was not arrested until mid-July, about a month later. He pleaded not guilty. Over the course of the preliminary hearing and the subsequent trial, Pumar’s lawyer, Dennis Smith, argued that his client was not driving recklessly on the day of the crash, and attempted to convince the jury that Pumar did not technically run the red light while heading east on California Street that fateful morning, but crossed the threshold

of the intersection when he still had a yellow signal. The prosecutor in the case, Deputy District Attorney Duffy Magilligan, managed to convince the jury otherwise. Throughout the duration of the preliminary hearing and trial Magilligan maintained that Pumar did not only run the red light, but was likely traveling much faster than the posted speed limit on California Street — 35 mph — at the time of the accident. A police officer called to the witness stand by Magilligan testified that Pumar may have been going upwards of 60 mph at the time he hit Ware — after swerving to avoid the truck, jumping the curb onto the sidewalk and plowing through a street sign. Ware’s older brother, Jim, said he was pleased with the guilty verdict, but was quick to note that there were “no winners” in the ruling. “It’s incredibly sad for both families,” Ware said last week, outside the Palo Alto branch of the Santa Clara County Superior Court — adding that he had no opinion on how Pumar should be sentenced. “We got justice for Bill, we’re not looking to get revenge for Bill.” For his crime, the 22-year-old Mountain View man faces up to six years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 87 of the Palo Alto courthouse. Pumar, who appeared visibly

nervous before the verdict was read, reacted to the ruling with a look of shock before hanging his head. After the jury was dismissed on Sept. 12, Magilligan pushed for Pumar to be taken into custody at once. Pumar’s attorney, Smith, asked that his client be allowed to remain out of jail on supervised own recognizance until his sentencing date. While Judge Allison Danner said she understood Magilligan’s concern, she ruled that Pumar may remain out of jail for the time being, but instructed him to report to the probation department within three business days. Smith spoke briefly with the Voice after the verdict. As Pumar stood silently next to him, Smith said he was “disappointed” with the ruling. “We thought we put on a strong defense,” Smith said. “Matt will get through it. Hopefully, down the road, he’ll learn from this lesson and get on with his life.” Ware said he hopes that many lessons can be taken from the death of his brother. He said he was pleased to see that Mountain View city officials have made moves to improve the safety of certain local intersections since his brother died. He also said that he didn’t feel Pumar was a bad person. “He’s a kid that made a real bad decision, and my brother paid for it with his life,” Ware said.

household after asking questions about what would happen if a dog or cat has a litter of puppies or kittens. City staff members said owners would be able to keep the litter for up to four months. Council members also supported a prohibition on dogs in city buildings, clarifying a portion of the ordinance that would have kept dogs off “city property.” City staff members said the intent was to keep them out of city buildings. Animals would be allowed with a permit or permission from the city manager. Service animals always would be allowed. Some council members said the city should follow the lead of local companies that allow dogs in their offices. “If city employees bring dogs into the workplace, it’s certainly acceptable to me,” Bryant said. Mayor John Inks voted against most of the provisions, saying the new ordinance was unnecessary. An official vote on the entire ordinance will happen at a later date.

not been a case of a cat with rabies in Santa Clara or the state of California for many years. They said that veterinarians don’t recommend the vaccination, which is said to cause health problems for some cats. In a survey of 67 animal control providers around the country it was found that 92 percent of their “veterinary medical experts” recommend requiring rabies vaccinations for all cats, but only 55 percent actually require it. Only 39 percent of the providers required cat licenses. At the urging of some residents, council members considered expanding the number of dogs and cats allowed in a household from four to six, but decided to leave the limit at four, as it has been for years. “It’s something we don’t need to solve right now, it’s working,” Siegel said of the policy, enforcement of which is “complaintdriven.” Council member John McAlister opposed the limit on the number of dogs and cats in a 10

Board struggles to cope with rogue member

Who needs the Moffett runways?

ost public bodies operate under rules which govern how legislation is introduced and approved, and sets policy on decorum, giving whoever is acting as chairperson the authority to run the meeting and recognize members of the body to speak. Unfortunately, at the Mountain View Whisman school board, frustrated president Ellen Wheeler and her colleagues have been unable to use the rules to handle the often out-of-control antics of member Steven Nelson, who frequently refuses to stop his long and repetitive monologues, which can stymie the board for extended periods on an issue that only Nelson supports. Clearly frustrated, Wheeler said last week that board members Chris Chiang and Bill Lambert are drafting a motion to censure Nelson, whom in addition to disrupting meetings has sent harsh emails to staff and shouted at administrators when visiting the district office. At press time, a Voice Public Records Act request for copies of the emails that Nelson sent to district officials had not been fulfilled, but a comment from Wheeler does not paint a pretty picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come up to me all the time to complain about the behavior of Steven Nelson as a board member,â&#x20AC;? Wheeler said. Nelson himself admits that some of his behavior has been offensive to some board members and administrators, although he said some of it may be due to his personal style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have avoided these conflicts if I could,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to change some habits you get into with personal style.â&#x20AC;? That style was apparently developed as he was campaigning for the board seat in the November 2012 election and before, when he often would appear before the board as a private citizen. He strongly opposed $198 million bond issue to upgrade schools passed by voters last year, and has disagreed strongly with how the administration of Superintendent Craig Goldman plans to spend the money. During the campaign, and even today, Nelson often brings homemade charts to illustrate his position as he delivers long monologues to the board, sometimes continuing after being asked to end his remarks and sit down. At his first meeting after he was elected, Nelson and Wheeler became embroiled in a loud discussion and during that meeting Nelson repeatedly cut off Wheeler and fellow board members who were attempting to make comments. Nelson admits he sometimes is too enthusiastic in his disagreements with the district. During his campaign, he promised he would challenge district officials if elected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been rough,â&#x20AC;? he acknowledged to the Voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve overstepped,â&#x20AC;? when asked for his thoughts about the possible censure motion. We fully agree that Nelson has â&#x20AC;&#x153;overstepped.â&#x20AC;? In case he has forgotten, virtually all government bodies in this country operate under majority rule, which means that each member must bow to the majority if he or she loses or is dissatisfied with a vote. At the 2012 election Nelson surprised many observers when he finished second among the three winners, less than 1,000 votes behind Chiang and more than 1,000 ahead of Lambert. Perhaps voters mistakenly thought his already well-known disagreements with the board in public testimony was a good quality, an assessment that unfortunately has turned out to be very wrong. Sadly, unless Nelson can accept his losses and move on, the board is likely to be preoccupied with more of his grandstanding for some time to come. And censure is not the right tool for the job, but other than recall, it is the only way the board can publicly make a collective statement about its dissatisfaction with Nelson. If he really cares about educating the children of the Mountain View Whisman district, Nelson will drop his grandstanding role and work cooperatively with the rest of the board. By staying within the rules, he can gain the respect of his colleagues and show his constituents that they did not make a mistake when they elected him last November.

o ensure that the planned lease of Moffett Field serves the interest of neighboring communities and to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act, any proposed change in the operation of the runways or significant new activities on the former Navy base should be the subject of a new Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). In 1996, when NASA proposed to open up Moffett to air cargo operations, 67.5 percent of Mountain View voters opposed commercial or other civilian air operations there. Opposition to non-governmental use of the Moffett runways in Sunnyvale, directly under the Moffett flightlanding path, was also intense. In response, NASA consulted with

residents of neighboring communities to create a development plan based upon partnerships with high-tech companies and educational institutions. However, last year NASA headquarters sought to unload the now-underutilized airfield. The White House told NASA that it, not the Navy, would be responsible for restoring historic Hangar One after removal of its siding. And Congress cut the budget. Our Congressional delegation fought to preserve Moffett Field in its present status as a limited-use federal airfield, and they appeared victorious this May when NASA and the General Services Administration announced they were seeking private bidders to restore Hangar Continued on next page

BULLIS, EGAN NEED TO RELIEVE TRAFFIC JAM Talks have moved on to addressing some future solution involving new land, for the crowding faced by the Bullis Charter School on San Antonio Road at W. Portola Avenue. At that meeting, numerous neighbors complained of the traffic at the current principal site in the morning. Los Altos schools have promised to do a new study of the traffic situation there. However, the study last year happened when Bullis had 515 students and so far this year they have generally had fewer (about 495). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what a new study of the existing condi-

tions can address, since last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study already indicated that there would be problems. I would like to suggest that pending any studies, an obvious conflict be addressed. Bullis has always started its extended day program at 8 a.m. Egan has always had its warning bell, at 8:07 a.m. It seems to me that there are bound to be more cars than necessary with this spacing. I suggest that for the sake of the neighbors, Bullis look at starting five minutes earlier, and Egan look at having its warning bell five minutes later. To be specific: Bullis should start at 7:55 a.m.; Eganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first bell should ring at 8:12 a.m. Continued on next page

One and operate the airfield. This seemed tailor-made for H211, the private-plane operator owned by Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top management. Based in Hangar 211 since 2007, H211 had offered to restore Hangar One in exchange for the right to park its fleet there. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear whether H211 will make a bid under the NASA-GSA request for proposals (RFP). As the Voice reported on May 30, the RFP could lead to the establishment of a base for business jets at Moffett Field. Unless the residents of Mountain View, Sunnyvale and other neighboring communities make themselves heard, we could be stuck with unwanted flight operations slipped under our noses as part of the laudable objective of restoring Hangar One. While many of us can live with a continuation of the limited-use federal airfield, a private jetport would only be constrained by promises in the 11-year-old environmental impact statement

that is not only subject to change, but also would necessarily be updated to cover major changes at Moffett Field. It is time to ask, once again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who needs the Moffett runways?â&#x20AC;? Today the runways are used by the Air National Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 129th Rescue Wing, even though the costs are high and many of its staff live in the Central Valley. Lockheed-Martin Sunnyvale and Space Systems Loral have shipped large satellite payloads out of Moffett, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how essential Moffett is to either. And while Moffett is sometimes a convenient place for Air Force One to land when presidents visit Silicon Valley seeking campaign donations, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to keep the runways open. Perhaps the strongest argument for keeping the Moffett runways in ship-shape condition is to be prepared for an earthquake or other natural disaster. Moffett was a key staging area in the wake of the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. However, studies since have shown that Moffettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under-maintained runways are â&#x20AC;&#x153;moderately suscep-

tibleâ&#x20AC;? to liquefaction. It would take a large investment to harden Moffett to resist the various earthquake scenarios likely in the future. It would take a steady flow of business jet operations to cover the cost. We must act now and let our community leaders, NASA, and the GSA know of our desire to see that Moffett is used for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and higher purposes vs. subjecting our communities to unwanted noise, environmental pollution, and accident risks sanctioned under the current GSA lease proposal request. At the very minimum, the federal agencies should undertake a comprehensive environmental impact study comparing the consequences of the status quo with leasing proposals as well as with alternative uses such as transit-oriented housing badly needed by our communities and companies.

El Camino Real, there are bound to be traffic concerns in the morning. With the majority attending Bullis, Egan or Santa Rita, West Portola is bound to suffer. This kind of spacing of start times could really go a long way, and should be done before any additional study, as the present time configuration was already studied. So far all I have heard from the Los Altos district is a focus on cutting back Bullisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number at Egan by forcing them to send 25 or so out-of-district students to a third site. These students

are mostly from Mountain View and charter schools have to offer equal treatment to all their students just like any public school. That idea seems illegal, and also inadequate anyway. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting fairly discouraged by the bureaucratic approach which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead to results. David Roode Los Altos

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;GROSSED OUTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY NELSON STORY I was frankly grossed out by the front page story about school board member Steve Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s censure, as I was by the story not long ago of Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Boyarksyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reprimand for being overzealous in the prosecution of a dangerous criminal. Both stories struck me as unprofessional to put on the front page of a local newspaper for a couple of reasons: â&#x2013; Both of these men have devoted their lives of public service. â&#x2013; Neither committed a crime or willfully betrayed the public trust. They simply misstepped, or overstepped in trying to serve our communities the best they know how. Was there really not a story about community building with which you could have filled that front page spot? Dragging these individuals through the dirt on the front page is not only petty journalism, but erosive to the social fabric, which it seems so much in the interest and mission of a local newspaper to build.

Passing the test of time IL FORNAIO HAS OFFERED CLASSIC ITALIAN AND REGIONAL VARIATIONS FOR THREE DECADES Story by Dale F. Bentson // Photos by Michelle Le

n elderly gentleman with a walker entered Il Fornaio just before me late one morning. “You still serving breakfast?” the man inquired rather loudly of the receptionist. “No, sir. Breakfast ended at 10:30. We’re serving lunch now.” “Okay, I’ll have lunch then, and I want to sit on the patio, please.” Il Fornaio has established a longtime comfort level with its customers in the 34

years it has been open in downtown Palo Alto’s Garden Court Hotel on Cowper Street. Like an old friend, it’s familiar and comfortable. Not that the food is antiquated in any way; it is fresh, vibrant, thoroughly modern and authentically Italian, prepared by chef-partner Luigi Mavica, a Sicily native. The original Howard J.

is classic. Other than behindthe-scenes kitchen upgrades, the dining rooms, garden patio and open-kitchen concept have remained basically unchanged, inviting and stylish since opening. Two weeks each month, Il Fornaio celebrates the cuisine of a different region of Italy, with supplemental menus for both food and wine. Festa Regionale offers constantly changing bills of fare, highlights the regional differences in Italian cuisine and delivers excellent values — more on that later. For starters, the capesante con riso di venere ($13.29) featured a succulent grilled sea scallop with a dash of cayenne on a blackrice salad of fennel, radicchio, parsley and red-wine vinegar, all drizzled with basil olive oil and lemon dressing. The taste balance and visual harmony of the plate was appealing. The Caprese salad ($11.79) was sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and whole basil leaves sprinkled with basil-infused olive oil. Nothing wrong with the attractive plate, but I expected better tomatoes as it was the peak of heirloom tomato season. In this instance, it seemed the kitchen

8FFLFOE sacrificed palatability for a pretty presentation. Il Fornaio offers a half-dozen pizzas. I liked the vegetariana ($14.59) with mozzarella, tomato sauce, artichokes, zucchini, eggplant, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh basil. Just enough ingredients to make it tasty without overload. The justright crust was semi soft, pliable and chewy. Pasta? Of course. A half-dozen, dry, house-made options plus lasagna, cannelloni and specials. Ravioli magro ($12.99) was filled with rainbow chard, kale, onions, pine nuts and pecorino cheese, and tossed with sauteed artichokes, white wine, tomatoes and parsley. The ravioli were plump and mouthwatering, the toppings more than ample. As artistic as it was tasty. The special vegetarian tortelloni ($18.59) were appealingly plump house-made pasta pockets filled with red beets, ricotta and

pecorino cheeses, and topped with silky sage cream sauce sprinkled with poppy seeds. For main courses, the mixed fish grill ($25.99) of salmon, petrale, prawn, sea scallop and calamari with lemon parsley sauce was an enormous plate of seafood. Add to that grilled

polenta and sauteed seasonal vegetables, and it was more than any diner could have hoped for. The plate was zesty and fresh and the fish perfectly prepared. Veal scaloppini ($24.99) did not disappoint. Three not too thinly sliced pieces of forktender veal had been sauteed

with fresh baby artichokes and lemon, then served with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes and a medley of seasonal vegetables — quintessentially Italian. As mentioned earlier, Festa Regionale offers excellent value. During this review time, “Taste of Veneto” was featured. On that menu we tried the capesante ($13.29), the tortelloni ($18.59) and the mixed fish grill ($25.99). That added up to $57.87 but was priced at $31.99. That’s a deal. The Veneto menu offered a choice of four antipasti, three pastas and three main dishes. As for desserts, the crema doppio ($7.99) was a fennel-infused custard with chocolate mousse and caramelized sugar topping. A chocolate-covered creme brulee by another definition. It was delicious but a bit overwhelming after a big dinner. More to my taste was the bianco mangiare ($7.99), an almond custard topped with caramel

sauce, toasted almonds and fresh berries. In essence, a delicate panna cotta topped with toasted almond slivers, fruit on the side. A perfect conclusion. Steve Boyden, longtime Il Fornaio managing partner, has covered all the bases. Besides the regular and Festa Regionale menus, there are a children’s menu, a gluten-free menu and banquet menus, and every dish on the menu lists its calorie content. The wine list is not overwhelming, quantity wise or pricewise, and selections complement the food. There are many drinkable wines in the $35-$75 range. Naturally, Italian and California wines dominate the list. Few restaurants survive three decades and many that do have a fierce and loyal clientele who never want the menu changed. Il Fornaio has preserved its classic dishes while infusing new and intriguing options each month. It’s a great formula. V

N MOVIEREVIEWS

BLUE JASMINE ---

“I want the past past,” says Jasmine. Fat chance. The haunted protagonist of “Blue Jasmine,” played by Cate Blanchett, can’t forget her bygone bliss and the horrifying loss of it. A Park Avenue socialite, Jasmine has lost it all and landed on the San Franciscan doorstep of her working-class sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins), a good soul tested by her long-absent sibling’s demands. Jasmine and Ginger were both adoptive sisters, but when Jasmine made her socialclambering escape, she never looked back, becoming accustomed not only to a certain lifestyle but to a fabulous selfishness, insulated by willful obliviousness. Certainly, “Blue Jasmine” is Allen’s riff on “A Streetcar Named Desire,” an impression only helped along by the casting of Blanchett, who played Blanche DuBois in an acclaimed 2009 production. Blanchett is a force of nature as Jasmine: the beating heart that keeps the schematic picture alive and kicking, and a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination. Though “Blue Jasmine” is more a drama than a comedy, Blanchett’s comic brio, in Jasmine’s blithely imperious manner, magically complements her mental fragility and selfdefeating desperation. Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, language and sexual content. One hour, 38 minutes. — P.C.

SHORT TERM 12 ---1/2

Writer-director Destin Cretton bears witness to the agony and the ecstasy of foster care in “Short Term 12,” a fiction film inspired by his own experiences working in a group home. Expanding from material Cretton first explored in a short film, “Short Term 12” shows a canny ability to convey the routines of a foster-care facility — including the routine of surprise — and the variety of personalities brought together there. The film takes the perspective of staff members, principally Grace (Brie Larson of “The United States of Tara”) and her co-worker/boyfriend Mason (John Gallagher Jr. of “The Newsroom”). The “under-18s” make for vivid characters, even when functioning as foils for imperfect hero Grace. As Marcus, a boy about to “age out” of the system, Keith Stanfield captures the apprehension and anger attendant to facing an indifferent world after the relative warmth of the “Short Term 12” cocoon; in a gently observed scene, Marcus shares with Grace a song that expresses his hurt, and Stanfield sticks the landing. But the pivotal foster kid is 15-year-old Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever, also emotionally resonant), who appears to be the victim of domestic abuse, contends with her feelings by cutting, and brings up all of Grace’s issues. Rated R for language and brief sexuality. One hour, 37 minutes. — P.C.
