If approved by the City Council, the plan will be incorporated into Palo Alto’s Comprehensive Plan, the city’s land-use bible. One function of the new plan is to identify where denser development can be built in the centrally located area. Another is to recommend how land in each of the area’s three “subsections” can be

used. According to a report from Senior Planner Elena Lee, the plan evaluates where additional housing could be built, opportunities to retain and increase retail and services businesses and how bicycle access could be improved. Seen as a critical location because of its shopping district and proximity to Stanford University, Stanford Research Park and a Caltrain station, the area has seen a surge of development in recent

years, with one large project after another winning approval. Recent newcomers include Park Plaza, a 102,000-squarefeet project at Page Mill Road and Park Boulevard that includes 82 apartments and research-anddevelopment space; a 40-foot-tall office building to replace Club Illusions at 260 California Ave.; a four-story office-and-townhouse V Ì Õi`Ê Ê«>}iÊ£{®

The founders of Humans of Palo Alto are going for the same coverage and sensibility. “The objective of our site is to express the uniqueness of individuals in the Palo Alto community, much like how they’re doing in New York,” said Gunn junior Calvin Wang, who started the website with friend and fellow Gunn junior Brendan Wong. “One person out of a whole city

by Gennady Sheyner aced with a citizenry upset about downtown’s deepening parking shortages and businesses anxious about looming parking restrictions, Palo Alto officials struggled Monday night with the complex topic of new downtown garages. After a discussion that involved more than 10 separate votes and stretched just past midnight, the City Council directed planners to look for additional locations for new downtown garages; solicit ideas for partnerships with the private sector on new garages; and explore new technologies that would enable city officials to track garage usage in real time. The council also agreed to expand the number of downtown drivers who can buy permits for the City Hall garage. Monday’s discussion came two weeks after the council asked staff to create a “residential parking-permit program” that would set time restrictions on parking spots for downtown commuters in congested residential areas. Once the program is in place, workers long accustomed to having free all-day parking in neighborhoods like Downtown North and Professorville will have to find new spots to park. Where these spots will be was the lingering question at Monday’s meeting. City staff recommended two new downtown garages: one at the city-owned Gilman Street lot, near the downtown post office,

Gunn students launch ‘Humans of Palo Alto’ Photo blog captures people via photos, candid quotes by Elena Kadvany

Humans of Palo Alto, a photo blog launched by a group of Gunn High School students hoping to capture the unique, unseen details about the individuals who make up Palo Alto. The idea is a spinoff of Humans of New York, a “photographic census” of New York City started

in 2010 by photographer Brandon Stanton. His goal was to shoot 10,000 New Yorkers and plot their photos on a map, but the project instead morphed into an online platform for intimate snapshots of peoples’ lives. Stanton also eventually turned his blog, with more than one million followers, into a New York Times bestselling book. Stanton posts photos of people around the city — a Catholic priest, a Mexican immigrant, a man walking his dogs, a couple reminiscing about the night they first met — with candid, snippet responses to a question he asked them or a short caption. Some are sad — “I pretty much only read fantasy because I’ve

Around Town

PROPS FOR PARTNERSHIPS ... A group of local organizations — the Downtown Streets Team, Palo Alto Business and Professional Association, Palo Alto Parking Committee and the Palo Alto Police Department — received a $15,000 pat on the back this week for their collaborative efforts to improve safety and strengthen relationships between the community and police. They were selected from more than 540 applicants nationwide to receive one of 10 MetLife Foundation Community-Police Partnership Awards. The Downtown Streets Team is made up of homeless volunteers who, in exchange for food and housing vouchers, job search services and other resources, maintain the community by sweeping streets, putting lines on soccer fields, performing janitorial work, cleaning parks and other activities. The police department also organizes a monthly meeting of north county agencies — the Office of Human Services, District Attorney’s office, Veteran’s Administration and County Mental Health service providers — to work on connecting homeless people with housing and services. MetLife deemed these partnerships as “Excellence in Civic Engagement” and will award the groups $15,000 to support their joint public-safety efforts. “Collaboration between community-based groups and police departments can reduce crime, stimulate housing and business activity, and improve the quality of life in lowerincome neighborhoods,” Dennis White, president and CEO of MetLife Foundation, stated in a press release. “The Palo Alto partnership is an exemplary model for groups nationwide facing similar challenges and opportunities.” HIGH SCHOOL ‘LOVE WEEK’ ... It’s “Love Week” at Gunn High School, student Jarrod Mock reported to the Board of Education Tuesday. As Mock, who’s this year’s Gunn student representative on the board, described it, Love Week activities include speed-dating on the quad, karaoke machines so students can “serenade

their lovers” and — the grand finale — “unofficial marriages on the quad,” complete with fake certificates. The school’s upcoming Sadie Hawkins Dance, Mock added, will have the theme of “Throwback ‘90s Kids since this is the very last year Gunn will have any students who were born way back in the last century.

WE CAN BE HEROES! ... Residents who wish to become heroes without the hassles of joining a police academy, running through fires or doing that whole mutation-andspandex thing now have a handy new tool at their disposal. The city’s Fire Department partnered this week with the Santa Clara County Fire Chiefs Association to adopt Pulsepoint, an app that allows residents to track the fire department’s activities and provide information that could be helpful during emergencies. This includes notifying residents with CPR training of incidents where their skills may be put to use and directing them toward the nearest automated external defibrillator (AED), a device that sends electric shocks to restore regular heart beat in people with arrhythmia. The city has recently purchased 52 AEDs for placement at all major public facilities. The local school district also plans to install 38 devices by June. At the same time, the Fire Department has partnered with Racing Hearts, a nonprofit that lobbied for the AEDs, on a new exercise to educate the community on where these devices can be found. The “Spot the Box” campaign, which runs until the end of February, requires users to download a free app that can be used to create a community map of AED locations. The app can be found at www.racinghearts. net/spotthebox. So far, the campaign has already mobilized students from local middle and high schools, who have formed teams to look for the devices. In his announcement of the campaign, Fire Chief Eric Nickel called it “a great way for the community to get involved and help our paramedics, firefighters and police officers to be more effective life savers.” N

Shepherd zooms in on city growth in ‘State of the City’ Palo Alto mayor uses speech to place ongoing changes in historic context by Gennady Sheyner

iting a climate of rapid growth that has left many residents feeling like the change is “too much, too fast,” Mayor Nancy Shepherd used her “State of the City” address on Tuesday to lay out the city’s efforts for addressing the frustrations that have come with Palo Alto’s economic prosperity. Speaking in the ballroom at Lucie Stern Community Center, the city’s first community center, Shepherd delivered a speech that zeroed in on the topic that dominated City Council agendas in 2013 and that promises to do so again this year — the consequences of new development on the city’s quality of life. At about 20 minutes, Shepherd’s was one of the most concise and focused addresses in recent years. Unlike the speech delivered by then-Mayor Greg Scharff last year at the Tesla Motors headquarters, Shepherd’s address didn’t include any new initiatives or proposed laws. There were no announcements of new public WiFi hotspots or anti-smoking laws. Rather, Shepherd largely limited herself to the theme of the city’s growing pains. In discussing the council’s work plan for the year, Shepherd rattled off a list of long-discussed land-use and transportation projects, including the reconstruction

of California Avenue, another revision of the city’s just-updated Housing Element and an increase in the city’s parking supply. Shepherd, who was introduced by her daughters, Rachel Kaci and Becca Shepherd, pointed to Palo Alto’s long legacy of wrestling with change, from the late 19th century when Stanford University opened its doors and the city’s grain fields gave way to orchards to the 1930s when Stanford Professor Fredrick Terman began setting the stage for Silicon Valley’s technological revolution. To underscore her point that anxieties over growth are far from new, Shepherd played a short clip from an interview Terman gave in 1969. When asked whether the charm of the city was getting lost due to growth and industrialization, Terman responded that Palo Altans have a tendency to always like the city the way it was when they arrived here, no matter when their arrival took place. “If they came 20 years ago, they complain about the changes and increased traffic and more land being built on and so on,” Terman said. “If they came five, eight or 10 years ago, they like it that way.” The fact that people seem to like Palo Alto no matter when they came suggests that it “can’t be all bad,” Terman said.

about the future, much as has been the case throughout Palo Alto’s history. “Like those before us, we must strike the right balance between evolving as a city while maintaining those things that make our Palo Alto livable,” she said. Shepherd also urged Palo Altans, about 100 of whom attended the event, to get involved in the city’s new “Our Palo Alto” initiative, which aims to get feedback from a broad range of residents about the city’s future. The initiative will include numerous ideagathering meetings in the community, whether in local parks or during bike rides; an effort to update the city’s Comprehensive Plan; and numerous “actions,” actual near-term changes that address the problems neighborhoods have long complained about. Over the past month, the council has embarked on the “action” component with renewed gusto, approving a framework for a residential parking-permit program that would set time limits on commuters’ cars in residential neighborhoods; directing staff to explore sites for new garages; and considering a new transportationdemand management program that would offer incentives for drivers to switch to other modes of transit.

Transitions Births, marriages and deaths

Shirley Temple Black dies at her home in Woodside by Menlo Park Almanac staff

Catherine R. Anderson Catherine Ruby Anderson passed away peacefully on February 3, 2014 after a brief illness. She was born on March 26, 1917 in Washington D.C. and shortly thereafter moved with her family to Southern California. After completing school there, she attended the Philadelphia School of Music with her beloved sister Mary McCune. Upon her return to Southern California she entered the Miss Valentine Contest, judged by Cary Grant. She won, and was awarded a screen test with MGM. However, due to her mother’s reluctance to have her daughter involved in the movie industry, she turned down the opportunity. Catherine went on to become an extremely successful high fashion model with a career spanning more than 35 years. She participated in every facet of modeling from runway, to print and television, and had a cameo appearance in the award-winning movie “Bullet”. She represented top designers such as Dior and all the major fashion houses of that time, and served as president of the National Models Association. She was appointed to and served on the San Mateo County Grand Jury for several years. She was also a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Later in life Catherine decided to pursue a career in real estate on the Peninsula. She specialized in high end properties focusing on Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside and Portola Valley. She became one of the top agents in the area. She started her own real estate ﬁrm with her son, Grant Roger Anderson, and was active in real estate until her retirement in the late 1990 ’s. She was a deeply religious woman and had been a devout member of the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church since 1951. A longtime resident of Atherton, she spent many years working with various charity organizations, her favorite being the Peninsula Volunteers. Catherine and her husband Roger were long time members of Menlo Country Club and Olympic Club. She was a life master bridge player and an active member of the Palo Alto Bridge Center, where she was highly respected for her bridge playing expertise. She always greeted everyone, no matter their status, with a genuine engaging smile and cared deeply about her family, friends and the common man. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Preston Roger Anderson and her twin sister, Caroline. She is survived by her sons; Grant Roger Anderson of Atherton, Preston Scott Anderson of Palo Alto and Edwin James Hannay of Atherton, daughters-in-law Colleen Morton Anderson and Marsha Haynes Hannay, grandchildren Catherine Elizabeth Hannay and Edwin James Hannay, Jr., her sister Mary Jane McCune and nephew Nedrick Roland McCune. A celebration of her life will be held at the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church on February 20, 2014 at 2:00 PM followed by a reception. Donations may be made to Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Pathways Hospice or the charity of your choice. Crippen & Flynn Woodside and Carlmont Chapels PA I D

hirley Temple Black died Monday, Feb. 10, at her home in Woodside. She was 85. Considered the most popular child movie star of all time, she had lived in Woodside for 46 years. Surrounded by family members on Monday night, she died peacefully of natural causes, the family said. “We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife for fifty-five year of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black,” the family said in a statement. She started her acting career at age 3 and starred in such hits as “Stand Up and Cheer” and “The Little Colonel.” She ruled the box office in the 1930s. After marrying in 1950 and leaving her Hollywood career behind, she lived in Woodside for much of her life. She met Charles Alden Black in

1950 when she was vacationing in Honolulu. A party was given in her honor and Black, a handsome young bachelor, was invited. He surfed every night after work and told the hostess he wouldn’t come to the party if the surf was up. “We would never have met if the surfing was good that day,” she said. The couple was married later that year at his parents’ Monterey ranch. Her husband, an internationally recognized marine expert, died Aug. 4, 2005. They were married for 55 years and had three children, a son Charles Jr. and daughters Lori and Susan. After retiring from her film career at age 21, Shirley Temple Black became active in politics and held several diplomatic posts. She was U.S. ambassador to Ghana, and later to Czechoslovakia during the collapse of the communist regime there in 1989. In 1967, Pete McCloskey beat her and nine other candidates to win a seat in Congress. Woodsiders would see her in

town, and ordinary moments became memorable. Thalia Lubin recalls saying hello to her a couple of times in Roberts Market in the checkout line. “There she was bagging her own groceries.” George Roberts, the owner of Roberts Market in Woodside said: “She just was a very down-toearth person, not like a celebrity. It was just a joy to know her. She was just like the gal next door. ... It’s been years since we’ve seen her.” In the late 1970s, she was grand marshal of the Woodside May Day parade. She served as a president of the Commonwealth Club of California and received many honors, including the Kennedy Center Honors in 1998 and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2006. She was given a special juvenile Academy Award in 1935. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be private, the family said. For those wishing to make a donation in her memory, the family suggests either the Education Center at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles or the Commonwealth Club of California’s 2nd Century Campaign.

Glenn Warren Price

Marcus A. Krupp, MD

Oct. 16, 1918-Feb. 6, 2014

(1913 – 2014)

Glenn Price, 94, died at his senior residence, Sunrise of Palo Alto, on Feb. 6 after a short illness. He was a longtime resident of Sonoma County and a history professor emeritus and past dean of social sciences at Sonoma State University. He also worked a small apple farm in Sebastopol until the age of 87. Glenn was the youngest son of a minister of the Church of the Brethren and grew up in Laton, a small farming town near Fresno. He graduated from La Verne College in 1940. He was one of the organizers of a cooperative farming community, a conscientious objector, and a California State Park ranger/ historian before getting his doctorate in history. He was devoted from youth to the life of the mind and tried to stimulate his students to ask questions and think for themselves. He was married for 72 years to Marcia Price, who died in August 2011. He is survived by a daughter, Laura Price of Amherst, Mass.; a son, Chris Conell-Price of Palo Alto; and four grandchildren: Andrew, Jessamyn, Michael and Lynn. There will be a memorial service at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, at Friends House, 684 Benicia Drive, Santa Rosa. PA I D

OBITUARY

June Rogers Peters On January 25th 2014 June Rogers Peters won her long battle with Parkinson’s disease and shed her body for her life in heaven. During her passing she was surrounded by her immediate family: Her husband of 52+ years Lloyd Peters; Her children Melissa, Amy, & Neil and her Grandchildren Kyra & Nikolas. She was born June 20, 1935 in Kissimmee, Florida. She nurtured those roots by returning to Florida often to visit family and dear friends. She fiercely held onto a little of her “southern twang” throughout her life. A long time resident of Palo Alto, her kindness and generosity overflowed to anyone that was lucky enough to know her. While raising her children, her house, with typical southern hospitality, was the gathering place for all of the kid’s friends. The friends dubbed her home the “food house”. When the children were older, she took on the role as an Administrative Assistant to Professors for PhD students at Stanford. In that role she was affectionately known as the “Hug Doctor”. Her description of that voluntary role as expressed was that; “The professors are responsible for guiding the students intellectual pursuits” and “She would deal with mending their Hearts”. In that capacity she performed as substitute for a Mother, Confidant, or Counselor to the students. Students would travel home, often returning with gifts for her. Instead, she would request a rock from their hometown amassing a rock collection from around the world. June loved traveling, often ending up at a sandy beach someplace, making new friends along the route. After her retirement she devoted time to spoiling her grandchildren, both in person and with her incredible shopping skills. She kept busy taking classes in life stories, scrap booking and assemblage. She continued to do art and crafts late in her life. Plans are for a Celebration of Life event that will be held in her home during early April. For those that would like to honor her life, donations to The Parkinson’s Institute or the Vitas Hospice organization would be appreciated. PA I D

OBITUARY

Marcus A. Krupp, MD, 100, died on January 18, 2014 at his home in Portola Valley, CA. A graduate of Stanford University in 1934 and its School of Medicine in 1939, Dr. Krupp was a founder of the Palo Alto Medical Research Institute where he served as director for 36 years. He taught at Stanford’s School of Medicine and remained active there until his death. At the medical school he received the Albion Walter Hewlett Award for his career as a physician and the J. E. Wallace/“Muleshoe” Award as a distinguished alumnus. Stanford University also awarded Dr. Krupp the Gold Spike for his many years of volunteer leadership service. Dr. Krupp was born in El Paso, Texas in 1913 and lived in Miami, Arizona from age two until he entered Stanford in 1930 with the goal of becoming a physician. He earned his MD at Stanford School of Medicine when it was still located in San Francisco. Dr. Krupp’s introduction to laboratory medicine came during World War II, when he was assigned to the laboratory at Letterman Hospital in San Francisco. He then served at several military hospitals, including a brief stint in the Philippines, and after the war was named chief of clinical pathology at the Veterans Administration Hospital in San Francisco. Four years later, Russel V. Lee, MD, founder of the Palo Alto Medical Clinic, approached him to become director of research and supervisor of laboratories. In 1950, Dr. Krupp became a founder of the Research Institute at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) and served as director there until 1986. A plaque in the lobby of PAMF’s Research Institute captures the essential nature of its longtime director. “Marc Krupp, an unassuming man of slight physical stature and self-deprecating humor, a man loved and respected by his colleagues, made an impact that extends far beyond the Institute. As a teacher, mentor, editor and administrator, his influence has been felt nationally and internationally.” In 1961, Dr. Krupp founded the Association of Independent Research Institutes. From the original 11 organizations, the association has grown to 80 independent institutes, which receive significant funding from the National Institutes of Health and offer an important complement to universitybased research. In 1966 he also served as president of the California Academy of Medicine. In his own community, Dr. Krupp used the nonprofit umbrella of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to help other worthwhile local organizations get off the ground, including the Children’s Health Council and the Mental Research Institute. “We never simplify things,” said Dr. Krupp. “The more we learn, the more complex it gets. The perimeter of research is growing. The center is known now, so we’re working out on the perimeter, expanding the whole field of knowledge. That’s what research is all about. It’s pretty exciting stuff.” Dr. Krupp was preceded in death by his first wife Muriel McClure, his son David and his brother Robert. Along with his wife Donna, he is survived by sons Michael and Peter, daughter Sara Krupp Kinney, granddaughters Katy, Elizabeth and Whitney, and nieces and nephews. Dr. Krupp and his wife Donna Goodheart Krupp were philanthropic champions of Stanford University and Stanford School of Medicine, as well as many other local non-profit institutions. Persons wishing to make a gift in Dr. Krupp’s honor may send a donation, made out to Stanford University and designating “The Krupp Memorial Fund,” to Stanford University Development Services, P.O. Box 20466, Stanford, CA 94309-0466. A festive celebration of Dr. Krupp’s life will be held on Sunday, March 2 at Stanford University Faculty Club from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. with the program beginning at 2:45. Valet parking will be provided. Guests should RSVP to michaelwelch95407@gmail.com. PA I D

Editorial The Paly English kerfuffle Mysteriously, a plan more than a year in the making goes from being recommended to being shelved, all in two weeks

t was hardly a surprise that a proposal to combine the two “lanes” of freshman English into one would meet some resistance in a school district like Palo Alto. Parents love choices, and especially those that allow their high-achieving kids to be challenged to the max. What was stunning, however, was how dismissively a carefully developed, well-researched teacher proposal was handled by the school board and how quickly the administration turned its back on a plan it had endorsed and brought to the community for adoption. We don’t pretend to know whether the idea of “de-laning” Paly ninth-grade English is a good idea or not. But if we entrust our kids to the teachers of this self-proclaimed lighthouse district for their education, then we owe them the benefit of serious and respectful consideration of a carefully developed proposal. If our pediatrician or accountant, having come to know our kids or our finances, recommends we do certain things based on their professional judgment, our first reaction isn’t to stop talking about it and reject the recommendations because we think we know better or because it’s causing angst in the family. It should be to learn more, ask questions and understand why the talented people we have chosen to trust and educate our children hold such strongly held opinions. That attitude was nowhere to be found among school board members, or the administrators who capitulated and turned their backs on the teachers at the first signs of resistance. The Palo Alto High School English department has over several years developed major concerns about the negative effects of having two lanes in freshman English. They say that kids and parents are selecting between English 9 and English 9A (“Accelerated”) for the wrong reasons, ranging from a fear of failure to anxiety about high school pressures to what their friends are doing. Although they didn’t say so explicitly, they also are concerned about English 9 being heavily skewed with minority students, and the fact that there has developed a strong stigma attached to being in English 9 that can have strongly negative impacts on student attitudes and motivation. But more importantly, they point to research showing that students at all levels, even the very top students, do better when in a classroom environment that is diverse in abilities, particularly in English, where much of the curriculum is aimed at students exploring and discussing ideas and learning how to express themselves. It is the ideal subject and year of school for embracing mixed ability classes, they say, and it then allows all students more options for the rest of their high school years. These teachers, led by Instructional Supervisor Shirley Tokheim, who has a Ph.D. in education policy from U.C. Berkeley, have been working on this plan for more than two years and have been allowed, if not encouraged, by district administrators to move forward with it. All the needed district staff committees green-lighted the pilot program. With the strong support of principal Kim Diorio (who was vice principal of guidance before being promoted to principal) and the tepid endorsement of Superintendent Kevin Skelly, the proposal was scheduled for 10 minutes on the agenda and finally came before a tired and cranky school board on Jan. 28 at 11:30 p.m. Six parents spoke; three supported it and three expressed concerns. Four of the five school board members made clear they had received an earful from parents prior to the meeting and felt the proposal hadn’t received sufficient public airing and needed more parent buy-in. The board also conveyed they weren’t persuaded it was a good educational move. Then, after agreeing at 1 a.m., at Superintendent Kevin Skelly’s urging, to have the matter return to the board later this month for more discussion, it was announced by the district this Tuesday that the proposal was dead and there would be no changes in freshman English. In what has become an all too common occurrence, decisionmaking came out of nowhere, the result of unseen, unheard and undocumented deliberation taking place out of view of the public. How is it that at one meeting of the school board a decision is made to give the teachers time to work further on the proposal and bring it back for further discussion and then the entire issue is unilaterally pronounced dead by the superintendent a few days later? When decisions suddenly get made or reversed outside of public view, with no explanation, it is fundamentally undemocratic and disrespectful of all stakeholders. The result, as seen in this case, is everyone feeling bad and a lot of thoughtful work getting jettisoned. That is not the governance model we think this community wants.

Spectrum Editorials, letters and opinions

Find a Dish solution Editor, How can we find a solution to the traffic issues on Stanford Avenue without limiting access to the Dish, a resource that benefits thousands of residents every week? The current proposal asking people to park 20 minutes away will effectively limit access. The Dish loop walk (which can’t be shortened) fits neatly into the busy lives of residents, especially working women and mothers. It’s not that people don’t want to walk more, it’s that they don’t have more time. Traffic impacts much of Palo Alto. Every resident who lives near a school deals with traffic-safety issues. So does every resident who lives near freeway access, downtown Palo Alto, California Avenue, playing fields or churches. There are trade-offs in every one of these neighborhoods. If safety is the most important outcome, the current proposal — cutting half the parking spaces on Stanford Avenue — may well exacerbate the double parking and frenzied search for parking by people with limited time. Let’s step back as a whole community and look for a better solution. Palo Alto has felt the results of stressed-out families and the impact of spiraling health care costs. Access to the healthful walk of the Dish is something that should be strongly encouraged and facilitated in our community. Yes, absolutely make parking on Stanford Avenue safer for everyone. But access to the Dish makes Palo Alto a healthier community and a nicer place to live. Let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. Susan Fox Ramona Street, Palo Alto

Thanks for coverage Editor, Heartiest congratulations and deep gratitude go to Sue Dremann and the Palo Alto Weekly for your wonderful cover story on the difficulties of obtaining treatment for people with severe mental illnesses who refuse treatment. This is an issue that profoundly affects million of individuals and families. It also affects the economy, public health and safety in all segments of our society and yet is generally neglected and misunderstood. As a hospital psychiatric social worker for many years, I know that the situations profiled in the article are all very typical, and the heartbreak experienced by loving families who are powerless to keep their mentally ill loved ones safe and healthy is all too common.

I believe that, as happens in many aspects of American society, laws that were once created to protect individuals and prevent very real abuses have been stretched beyond the limits of common sense, and yet , as the article so well describes, the issues regarding involuntary treatment and lack of compliance with treatment by people with brain illnesses are very complex. Furthermore, any changes in the legal and health care system enabling more available and appropriate treatment must be accompanied by adequate funding by both the public and private sectors; otherwise any “helpful” changes are meaningless. Clearly a much more vigorous public discussion of this issue must take place, and the first step toward this happening is providing sensitive, balanced and non-stigmatizing coverage in our press. Many thanks. Judy Lurie Portola Valley

What do we want? Editor, Palo Altans never tire of complaining about traffic and parking, but still cling stubbornly to the suburban, SFR-is-god fantasy. Good traffic planning and more parking garages can only go so far. At some point, to solve that problem, you have to build more dense, well-planned, liveable housing. The surburban idea of each man having their own little postage stamp over which they have complete control has created a socially, emotionally and spiritually dead culture. We have to chose. Do we want increased stress from traffic and parking and lack of access to arts and culture with the strict adherence to the primacy of SFR, or do we want a culturally vibrant community with much less stress for all by creating well designed, dense development? I, for one, want the latter and am sickened by a community that seems inclined to chose the

Guest Opinion

The best for our best friends by Joanna Tang

n 2012, the Palo Alto animal shelter faced potential closure by the city but was saved from the chopping block after a public outpouring of concern. Today, as the shelter remains open, the next step for the city and community is to improve and innovate. The survival of the shelter is partly due to the rallying efforts of its nonprofit support group, the Friends of the Palo Alto Animal Shelter. Some residents did not know about the Palo Alto Animal Services (PAAS) shelter on East Bayshore, near the Baylands. The Friends helped organize the “Save Our Shelter” campaign and defended the shelter’s importance during City Council meetings. However, much more can be done to preserve and refine this valuable resource for future generations. The Friends are now working with the shelter around a common goal: to develop a state-of-the-art shelter for our furry friends. Operated by the animal-control division of the Palo Alto Police Department, the shelter is already ahead of the game in many respects, with its most appealing resources being its low-cost spay, neuter and vaccination services. In developing a state-of-the-art shelter even further, we can have “the best” here in Palo Alto for man’s best friends. To direct us to the quickest way to success, we must look to today’s pioneers in best practices in animal services. One of the leaders in this area is Best Friends Animal Society, a Utah-based nonprofit. Its slogan sums up their mission and practices: “No More Homeless Pets, Save Them All.” The Best Friends shelter is a completely

misguided perception of comfort of a few over the needs of many. Deb Goldeen Birch Street, Palo Alto

Obstacle to Alma Plaza? Editor, Architect Ken Hayes has been quoted as claiming: “We couldn’t put trees in the front (of Alma Plaza) because of utility conflict.” So putting the former Miki’s market building right up to the property line fit there instead? Margaret Fruth El Camino Way, Palo Alto

Why a density bonus? Editor, Density bonus for BMR? Heavens, no!! It’s working at cross

cage-free environment, and the animal rescue organization is supported by numerous volunteers who socialize with cats, walk dogs, feed rabbits and train parrots. Best Friends is also a no-kill shelter, one that refuses to euthanize adoptable animals. Their mission is to rescue stray and abandoned animals, return them to health with comprehensive medical care and old-fashioned TLC, and place each one in a loving home. On top of the numerous volunteers that keep Best Friends operating, the group employs behavioral specialists and professional trainers who work with dogs and other animals with unfavorable temperaments. Another part of Best Friends success is due to its nationwide events like Strut Your Mutt parades and Pet Super Adoption festivals. These events, in turn, raise awareness in the community, prompting legal action against anti-animal laws.

which the Palo Alto shelter already supplies. The society also considers a comprehensive volunteer program, an effective foster program, a network of rescue partners, innovative adoption programs and the engagement of the community to be vital programs in solving pet homelessness. Here in Palo Alto, we should support the shelter in developing and maintaining these programs, and it should be our community goal and civic duty to help them flourish. It is the Friends’ goal to help the shelter become “the best.” One of Friends’ current initiatives is developing a foster-care program to increase the shelter’s intake capacity. Friends is also working on enhancing volunteer participation in the shelter. On the shelter’s website (pafriends.org) are photos and descriptions of animals up for adoption. And Friends is increasing awareness of the shelter’s services by setting up

It takes a village to raise a child, even a furry one. ... Supporting an animal shelter is a community goal with a unique intergenerational interest: The young and the old, the novice and the expert, all have the desire to and are able to help. Closer to home, cage-free shelters are found at the Humane Society of Silicon Valley in Milpitas. Its roomy facility allows for luxurious cat, dog and rodent rooms instead of the conventional metal cages. It is also an “open-door” shelter, meaning it takes in any and all animals of any age, any health status and any temperament. The Humane Society of the United States identifies several “life-saving programs all shelters and communities should have.” Among them are affordable and accessible spay-and-neuter services and pet identification and reunification programs,

purposes. Since any piece of land is worth what you can put on it, no more, no less, added density is the same as added value, which is the reason for the dearth of affordable housing. The acre under a million-dollar house in the hills is nowhere near as valuable as the acre with 40 houses on it, or the right to put 40 houses on it. And it pays lots more in taxes, which is why city governments are so willing to give the right to more development, and redevelopment agencies bribed or coerced people into giving up their property. You’ve heard the expression “Virtue is its own reward?” Well, the right to add below-markethousing should be the reward — the only reward — for putting in below-market-housing. Any land-

a weekly booth at the downtown farmers market and holding events like pack walks for dog owners. In October, Friends held its first annual “Dog-O-Ween” fundraiser event. Other potential projects include funding the renovation of the cat room to make it a more cage-less environment, replacement of the coarse gravel in the dog run with soft artificial grass, building a roof over the outdoor dog kennels to prevent rainwater leakage, and a veterinary program that would benefit senior animals. But the Friends are merely individuals coming together in the community, a

owner can make money by adding rental units, however modest, to his property; he just can’t make as much as if he added office space or luxury apartments. So property owners can still make more money by adding mass or capacity to their holdings, but it would have to be the density added by the below-market-rate units themselves — and let’s please not have any of this nonsense about dumping the parking need created on the city or the residential neighborhoods. Stephanie Munoz Alma Street, Palo Alto

Residents park free Editor, It is an unwritten rule that homeowners have the right to park on the public street in front of their

channel for innovative ideas and human abilities. It takes a village to raise a child, even a furry one. The involvement of the community is essential for progress, and supporting an animal shelter is a community goal with a unique intergenerational interest: The young and the old, the novice and the expert, all have the desire to and are able to help. Whether it be volunteering as a cat socializer, getting the word out on Facebook about a fundraiser, or even adopting a rabbit, helping out our local animal shelter is a family affair. Especially valuable is the vitality of the youth in the community. Being raised in Palo Alto means being brought up in an environment that fosters innovation, action and the can-do spirit. For us, Friends is like a start-up adding new energy to the ecosystem. Students use social-networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to spread news about volunteer opportunities, lost pets and adoptable animals. School clubs enable students to come together around their love of animals, and volunteer their talents as photographers, dog trainers and cat socializers, as well as event leaders and community organizers. Highlighting the importance and skills of the younger generation is the Friends’ own Palo Alto High School youth liaison, Kristen deStefano, who spearheaded the Friends’ successful Dog-O-Ween fundraiser. Our local animal shelter would not be here today but for the community that surrounds and supports it. And in turn, without the dedication and service of the professionals at the shelter, Palo Alto would not be able to function as the loving animalfriendly community that it is. The community showed its appreciation for PAAS by speaking out, spurring action and saving the shelter from closure. Now, it should be our goal to polish the jewel that we have saved. N Joanna Tang is a senior at Gunn High School and youth board liaison from Gunn to the Friends of the Palo Alto Animal Shelter.

own homes. If I were living in the area of downtown Palo Alto, I’d be very upset about paying for a permit to park in front of my own home. It seems very unfair to tax these Palo Alto residents for the mistakes of our City Councils that have exempted businesses from providing adequate employee parking. A simple solution would be to institute a permit system different from the one proposed. All Palo Alto residents in the affected areas would be given permits free. The City Council would pass laws and post signs in these residential areas saying: PARKING PERMITTED for RESIDENTS with PERMITS ONLY. Where would the commuting workers park? The Daily Post’s

Dave Price has pointed out that the existing city garages have many empty parking spaces. To encourage the commuters to use these empty spaces, allow them to park there FREE for three months. To be fair to people who have already paid for their parking spaces, extend their permits for those same three months. Council should use this time to determine how many additional parking spaces are really needed and plan accordingly. It should also determine what garage parking fee structure would ensure that the existing garages are at least 95 percent full during the day and plan for new parking based on that fee structure.

The majority of patients under psychiatric hold, however, are released within 72 hours, and in many cases much earlier, county mental health officials said. What happens to them after being released depends in large part upon whether they participate in the continuum of services that the county government, as well as numerous nonprofit organizations, provide.

mental health providers and families of the mentally ill face. Absent forced hospitalization, people with severe mental illness are left to manage their complex and overwhelming illnesses through outpatient services. Sometimes, they choose not to participate, and they end up becoming mentally unstable or homeless or, for a few, even committing crimes. Other times, the services either do not help or are difficult for people to access. What results, mental health professionals say, can be akin to a revolving door, in which a person seeks treatment for a time, lapses, falls into instability, experiences a catastrophic incident — which oftentimes affects more people than just the person with the psychiatric condition — and then must climb back to stability all over again. In the late 1990s, when Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian was first on the Board of Supervisors, he was struck by the significant number of persons in

jail who had mental illnesses, he said. Now returning after 12 years in the state legislature, Simitian said he has seen a change for the worse. “The number has gone up dramatically. It was 10 percent a dozen years ago. Now it is closer to 20 percent. And those estimates are probably low,” he said. Palo Alto police reported taking in 168 people last year for psychiatric holds under section 5150 of the California Welfare & Institutions Code, which applies to people who are a danger to themselves or others or are “gravely disabled — they cannot feed, clothe or find shelter for themselves.” Most of those people have not committed any crime but fit the state’s criteria for a psychiatric hold, Palo Alto police Lt. Zach Perron said. Upwards of 800 patients were admitted to Stanford Hospital for psychiatric care in 2012, and nearly 250 were transferred to psychiatric hospitals. More than 1,500

hen Donald Ray Williams, in the grip of a psychotic episode, torched the University Avenue Walgreens in Palo Alto on July 1, 2007, the act crowned a long criminal history involving mental illness and psychosis, according to federal court records. Williams, 51, had been arrested and tried in prior arson cases but had been found incompetent and committed to mental hospitals, federal documents state. Williams suffers from bipolar disorder with psychotic episodes. Prior to the Palo Alto fire, which destroyed the downtown building, he had not been taking medication to treat his mental illness, he told authorities. He said he did not like how the medicines made him feel and that he didn’t believe that anything was wrong with him that required medication. Williams was sentenced last May to 20 years in prison and ordered to pay $28.6 million in restitution. His situation, while extreme, illustrates a challenge that

A law that forces mental health treatment ‘Laura’s Law’ sparks debates over patient liberties and court-mandated care

by Sue Dremann

o commit, or not commit? That is the question for many families and advocates in the mental health system. It’s an argument that has raged for more than 50 years, since California dismantled its involuntary hospitalization policy. The landmark 1967 Lanterman-Petris-Short Act strengthened patients’ rights by requiring a judicial hearing for involuntary hospitalization. But while Lanterman restored civil liberties and curtailed abuses, it had some consequences that communities across the state still contend with today. Between 1969 and 1970, 45,000 people formerly under state care for inpatient services and 120,000 people receiving state outpatient services were shifted to counties’ care, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), an advocacy group, notes on its website. Santa Clara County’s Agnews State Hospital alone released more than 3,800 people on June 30, 1972, creating a “mental health ghetto” overnight, NAMI noted. New medications developed in the decades since that era have made it possible for severely mentally ill people to live in the community, but the idea of compelling treatment, outpatient or otherwise, for people who do not want to accept it continues. A move toward public conservatorship of mentally ill persons has slowly been growing. A 2002 state statute, Assembly Bill 1421, “Laura’s Law,” allows families and some lawenforcement and medical professionals to ask a county’s mental health director to petition the court to have a person involuntarily treated. Any petition to the court must satisfy a strict set of criteria, including evidence that the person has been repeatedly hospitalized and is a danger to self or others or be mentally deteriorating. Persons who do not comply with the court order can be put on a 72-hour hold and potentially sent to an institution. Laura’s Law is named for Laura Wilcox, 19, a mental health clinic employee who was one of three people killed by a mentally ill man, Scott Harlan Thorpe, on Jan. 10, 2001, in Nevada County. Thorpe was said to have refused medication. A court later found him incompetent to stand trial. Counties that adopt Laura’s Law must create and fund comprehensive mental health services, which include housing,

evaluations, medical treatment and therapy. There hasn’t been a serious discussion in Santa Clara County about implementing it, officials said. Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian voted in favor of Laura’s Law during his tenure in the state legislature. But he said that funding for a strong, countywide outpatient system would go a long way to reducing involuntary treatment and commitments. “To some extent, if you put more resources into outpatient care, more mental health infrastructure mitigates the need to some degree for Laura’s Law,” he said. Ostensibly, Laura’s Law would catch people earlier in their mental illness and prevent hospitalization or crises. But some mental health professionals and patients’ rights advocates say the law is a wrong step. “I do not favor Laura’s Law,” said former Palo Alto mayor Vic Ojakian, a member of the county’s Mental Health Board. “It singles out a class of individuals because of the actions of a few and may cause undue harm to them. Also, it may not solve the issue it is trying to address. For me, ultimately I do not believe forced treatment is a successful approach.” Dan Brzovic, associate managing attorney with the advocacy group Disability Rights California, said the standards for compelling involuntary treatment outside of Laura’s Law are adequate. “Laura’s Law is barking up the wrong tree. It will lead to frustration. If treatment is voluntary, people are likely to continue. If they are forced, as soon as the force is removed they may not continue receiving treatment. Involuntary treatment can destroy trust. We have a significant number of patients who prefer not to have anything to do with the system because of bad experiences,” he said. Disability Rights takes the position that Laura’s Law could extend involuntary treatment to people who are not a danger to themselves or others, or who are not gravely disabled. “We want to see legal treatment standards that avoid speculation if someone will become dangerous. We can’t predict future dangerousness or future grave disability,” Brzovic said. So far, only Nevada County is fully implementing Laura’s Law. Los Angeles County has adopted a modified version.

Two years ago, the San Francisco Department of Public Health started the San Francisco Community Independence Placement Program, which Mayor Ed Lee called “San Francisco’s version of Laura’s Law.” Since Nevada County’s implementation in 2008, the courts have ordered 27 people to undergo outpatient treatments and mandated institutionalization for three or four people, according to Michael Heggarty, Nevada County director of health. Most of the other 72 people who were evaluated since 2008 voluntarily accepted treatment. The county has tracked the program for five years. “We’ve had very good outcomes,” Heggarty said. “We’ve had a large reduction in psychiatric hospital stays and a large reduction in the number of days spent in homelessness. We have reduced the number of days in jail and emergency department visits.” The county has used funds from Proposition 63, the state’s Mental Health Services Act, to develop its programs. Although comprehensive services are expensive, the costs are significantly lower than emergency care, ambulances, prosecution for crimes and incarceration, he said. Outpatient services cost the county about $16,000 per patient per year, compared to inpatient care or incarceration in jail, which costs $20,000 to $25,000, he said. In the first 31 months, the county saved a net $503,000 after expenses of the program — about $1.81 for every $1 spent. But the savings are significantly greater, he said. The evaluation did not include emergency room visits, the costs for law enforcement, prosecutors, public defenders and judges, excessive 911 calls, child abuse and neglect, he said. Heggarty thinks the law has benefits for people with severe mental illness. “It’s much less restrictive than sending people to institutions. They can come and go and live at home; they don’t lose all of their rights,” he said. “The law can give you a way to reach people. Part of the illness for some people is they don’t believe they are sick. (Without Laura’s Law), for those people we don’t have a way to treat them. Conservatorship is very complicated,” he said. Nevada County has not had any legal challenges since implementing Laura’s Law, he said. N

fall through the cracks, he said. Those eligible for drug treatment were not allowed in the program if they were mentally ill, and residential treatment programs did not accept substance abusers who took mental illness medicines, he said. “A large number kept cycling through. The homeless were repeatedly arrested. We needed to be more proactive,” he said. “To say we have urgent care, to say we have psychiatric services, it’s a good title, but is it real? Not really. “People can be held for 72 hours. But if you ask me the number of people we’ve seen who are held anywhere near that long, it’s far, far not seen. There’s a backup of over 300 people who should be in state hospitals who are in jail or prison,” he said. Since most offenders have been through the justice system repeatedly, the district attorney, police, mental health and substanceabuse counselors in the judicial system can flag people with mental health problems as they come through the system, he said. Treatment plans can range from outpatient to residential treatment for serious cases. Manley’s program also helps move people beyond treatment. “A lot of what we do is motivational. A lot of what we do is talk to people to encourage them to get schooling or into vocational programs. We help them to get benefits and teach them how to fill out paperwork,” he said. At any given time, 1,800 to 2,300 people are taking part in the program, and it has had significant success, he said. “I’ve seen people who were on probation and were not able to talk to anyone who are able to get stabilized and out of custody and into community treatment,” he said. Manley is trying to eliminate hindrances that contribute to noncompliance with treatment, and he recognizes that the sooner people get support, the faster they will stabilize. For some people, making their way to a hospital or clinic

to get treatment is difficult. Many people don’t qualify for other programs, making it difficult to obtain the help they need, he said. The court program is working to get everyone qualified for the Affordable Care Act. And this week, it started a drop-in clinic in the courthouse in San Jose, where a doctor can see people in the program. “The one great challenge is, are they able to get access and treatment right away? Put the treatment where the people are, and they will get there,” he said. On Feb. 7, Manley referred four people to seek treatment and medication. They were able to walk out the courtroom door, visit the doctor and get a prescription filled before leaving the courthouse, he said. Many people have multiple medical conditions that can contribute to their illness. Any policy discussion can’t be isolated to mental illness, Manley said. He estimated that more than 90 percent of people he sees who abuse alcohol or drugs have a mental illness. Manley gave the example of military veterans. That population is growing, as young Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans return with PTSD, or post-traumatic-stress disorder, he said. They come in with domestic violence and drunk-driving convictions, he said. “Unless you take into account co-occurring disorders you will never have success,” he said. Medication is only part of the treatment through Manley’s court. Program participants are referred to talk and cognitive-behavioral therapies, which help patients to understand and regulate emotions and feelings. “We need to have people learn how to be out in the community,” he said. The county doesn’t have a study of cost savings related to the program, Manley said, but the results are tangible. “In our county, the Department of Corrections can rent acute-care beds in their jail to other counties. I know of no other county that has done that,” he said. N Staff Writer Sue Dremann can be emailed at sdremann@ paweekly.com.

Palo Alto City Councilmember Gail Price, who serves on the Santa Clara County Mental Health Board, says that recognizing and dealing with mental illness in young adults is challenging.

Catching mental illness early Programs in schools, outpatient services can help prevent crisis, officials say by Sue Dremann

anta Clara County’s mental health services are not just for adults. Increasingly, mental health advocates are citing the paramount importance of early-intervention programs, which reach people at the beginning stages of their illnesses when they have the best chance of accepting treatment. Palo Alto City Councilwoman Gail Price is a member of the county’s Mental Health Board, and she supports programs directed at youth. For those young adults aged 17 to 25, recognizing and accepting mental illness can be challenging, Price said. “Because of the normal swings of behavior that are typical for that age group, parents may not be able to see that it is an illness,” she said. “At 17 to 25, that’s precisely when they want and need to be more independent. There is a lot of social pressure in college,

a lot of drinking. There are a lot of contradictory pressures. It really is hard.” Initial psychotic breaks due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder often occur during these transition years. Suddenly parents not only have a child who is severely ill, but that child is now an adult by law, and the family has no control over that person, she said. That is why early recognition of the signs of potential mental illness and intervention is so important. “Having more compassionate, client-based care with the family involved will make a huge difference for psychiatric emergencies and crises,” she said. Emergency psychiatric services are not always available when there is a crisis. Price said she has seen this scenario played out numerous times for families. “The thing about mental health crises is that no one is prepared. No

one thinks it will happen to them, but most families are touched by mental illness. Many are not aware of the resources. You are not prepared to be in an emergency room and have a member of your family be hauled off in an ambulance to another community, and that’s just the beginning. Then you begin the trek of trying to find psychiatric services,” she said. Former Palo Alto Mayor Vic Ojakian, another member of the county’s Mental Health Board, said that the discussion about mental health treatment is complex, which makes treatment difficult. Ojakian’s son, Adam, died by suicide while in college. “I think my son was a special human being dealing with a condition he was not trained to understand and had no way to determine what help he needed and was available. “He was living in an environment that was/is not very conducive to getting mental health treatment. There was/is too much stigma about mental health conditions for him and others to want to seek help. “Until we have a better understanding of mental health conditions, a more favorable environment to accommodate individuals with a mental health condition and better treatments, we will limp along in how individuals with mental health conditions are viewed and treated,” he said. To serve children with burgeoning mental illness, the county runs many targeted programs. Its School Linked Services initiative brings social, medical and mental health services to the schools for early intervention where there is the highest risk of mental illness, according to Dr. Nancy Peña, director of Santa Clara County Mental Health Department. The county is about to open a children’s crisis stabilization program, through a well-established children’s mental health provider in the county, EMQ FamiliesFirst. The service will offer 24-hour crisis intervention, to complement their existing Mobile Crisis and Intensive Transitions follow-up program. The new service will be available to children and families countywide and will be located in Campbell. N

Eating Out Comfort food haven Popular breakfast spot Joanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe offers equally soothing dinner menu by Dale F. Bentson | Photo by Veronica Weber

fter more than a quartercentury, there is little point discussing Joanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever popular breakfasts. Likely, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eaten there. Usually, there is a line, a sign-in sheet and a wait. Ditto lunch, but once seated the food comes quickly, as does the check and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on your way. Dinner is slower paced, quieter, but with the same comfort food for which the cafe is known. The menu is large for a small space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than 50 items offered from appetizers to desserts. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tall order for the kitchen, and while the food is respectable, some of the dishes can be unbalanced. The fish tacos ($12), for instance, featured two unevenly made tacos, one so fat with tilapia, pineapple salsa and chipotle aioli it was impossible to roll up,

and the other of a more modest construction. The accompanying cole slaw was overpowered with cilantro and inedible. The food came pretty fast, perhaps too fast. My sense was that the kitchen sometimes traded details for speed. No need at dinner: There were no lines, no wait to be seated during my visits. Better executed was the brie and crostini ($6). Three thick slices of toasted French bread, covered with smashed kalamata olives, chunkier than a tapenade, and topped with warm gooey brie. French o n io n soup ($4.95/$7.25) was thick with onions and broth. The crostini and Swiss cheese topping was appealingly mushy. The deep swell of flavors was designed to soothe jagged urban nerves. The crab cakes ($10) were crisp and sea-breeze fresh. The

The fish tacos at Joanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ feature grilled tilapia with pineapple salsa, chipotle aioli and a side of coleslaw. two cakes tasted like crab with not much filler to distract. Cilantro aioli was drizzled across the cakes. This time, the cilantro was a hint and not a statement. The uber comfort food, baked macaroni and cheese ($11.95), didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint. The portion was large and filled with tender diced ham and shallots. The blend of cheeses was baked until the top was golden brown and aromatic.

Tortellini carbonara ($15.95) was more than I bargained for. Besides the cheese-filled tortellini, pancetta, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and cheesy cream sauce, the pasta was blanketed with tender slices of chicken breast. I did a double-take and checked the menu. No, the chicken, apparently, was a bonus from the kitchen. Thanks. Delicate sole ($16.95) had

been dredged in panko crumbs, rolled in sliced almonds, and pan fried in butter. Accompanied by a pile of French fries and vegetables that had also been sauteed in butter, it was lick-the-plate good. Slightly healthier was the grilled salmon Provencale ($18.95) topped with capers, olives, chopped tomato, green pepper and white wine. Served with

Eating Out rice and sauteed vegetables, the dish rang Mediterranean. Joanie’s offers a myriad of dinner salads, sandwiches and burgers that echoes the lunch menu. My only criticism of the lunch menu is that if you don’t want a salad or soup, the two dozen other offerings are all sandwiches, nothing without a bun or bread. That being said, the panini del mar ($13.50) with grilled scallops, crab, shrimp, avocado, provolone cheese and basil pesto on soft focaccia, was a kiss from the sea. It’s served with fries. The well-priced wine list was small but appropriate. Prices ran $6-$8 per glass and no wine exceeded $32 per bottle. Drinkable was Forest Glen’s Kern County pinot noir at $26 for the bottle — and it came with a real cork. Desserts were all $7.25 but only two of the eight were housemade. The tiramisu was more a study in layered whipped cream than rum- and espresso-soaked ladyfingers. The puddle of fruit purees at the bottom of the plate didn’t help. Somewhat better was the chocolate mousse. Airy and chocolaty, it too was awash in colorful, but conflicting fruit purees. Joanie’s is a neighborhood cafe that specializes in comfort food with comforting prices. Nothing fancy, it’s not intended as a fine dining establishment — at least not yet. Bernard Cartal, owner of Joanie’s Cafe as well as Pastis Bistro several doors down, said he looks forward to the California Avenue renovation. “We’ll devote much more effort to our dinner business when the work is complete,” he said. The long-delayed city project, finally slated to begin this spring, will narrow California to two lanes, expand sidewalks and add plazas and new streetlights. Restaurants will be able to expand patio seating. The multimillion-dollar streetscape project aims to inject vitality into the street. “We plan to add umbrellas and planters in front of Joanie’s and Pastis. The street will be much more pedestrian-friendly when completed,” Cartal said. When that happens, there might be long lines and sign-in sheets for dinner. N

PARKING CONCERNS AS NEW HOTEL OPENS DOWNTOWN ... As workers put the finishing touches on the highly anticipated Epiphany Hotel, scheduled to open next month in the transformed site of the iconic Casa Olga, 180 Hamilton Ave., at least one Palo Alto developer is concerned about the apparent lack of parking spaces. The eight-story, 86-room luxury hotel does not have a parking lot or garage for its guests. “I don’t know how they’re going to do it. How do you run a hotel without parking spaces? Parking is gold,” said local developer Chop Keenan, who owns hotels in Half Moon Bay and Hermosa Beach. The Epiphany will offer valet parking to its guests, according to the hotel website, but it has one nearby business owner wondering

if an already over-parked downtown could get worse. “We’re excited about the Epiphany opening around the corner. It looks like a beautiful hotel and it will be great to have more people staying downtown overnight, but our customers already complain about parking here,” said one merchant who runs a small business on Ramona Street. Asking that her name not be used in this story, she worries about hotel guests who opt out of valet parking and prefer to find street parking on their own. “I hope it doesn’t impact Ramona (Street),” she said. ORGANIC FURNITURE STORE TO OPEN AT T&C ... An upscale, sustainable furniture store is about to take root in Palo Alto. Moving into the former Day One space in

Town & Country Village, Cisco Home will feature a wide array of handcrafted home furnishings. All of Cisco’s furniture is made by local craftspeople at its Los Angeles headquarters. The Palo Alto store is the company’s sixth location and the second Cisco in the Bay Area — the first is in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley. Cisco spokesperson Natalie Pinedo is anticipating the Town & Country store will be open in the next few weeks. “Our Palo Alto store is the first one in a shopping center. We’re very excited about this one. All of our other stores are stand-alones,” she said. Pinedo, who is the daughter of Cisco Pinedo, the founder of Cisco Home, said the company wants to have a greater presence in northern California. “We’re looking forward to becoming part of the Palo Alto community,” she said. With a sharp eye toward the environment, an unusual part of Cisco Home is the “Inside Green” collection, says Pinedo, which uses building materials that are made from organic and sustainable sources. Another “made-in-America” store recently opened in Town & Country

Village. Malia Mills is a New Yorkbased boutique that specializes in bra-sized swimwear. “Instead of looking for a small, medium or large, you buy by your bra-size. It’s a much better fit,” said Malia Mills manager Olivia Moray. The swimsuits are on the pricey side; they start at about $375. Acknowledging the price tag, Moray said, “Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s an investment, and the swimsuits will pay off year after year.” GROCERY OUTLET EYES AN APRIL OPENING ... After Grocery Outlet obtained final approval in December from the City of Palo Alto regarding its 26-foot-tall sign at Alma Village, it is now fullspeed-ahead for the discount grocer to move into the space that formerly housed the short-lived Miki’s Farm Fresh Market. Grocery Outlet is scheduled to open in April. N

(Century 16, 20) If your girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse asks you to take them to “Winter’s Tale” for Valentine’s Day, my relationship advice is to immediately say yes. But leave a copy of this review lying around, and you may get a chance at making better plans. “Winter’s Tale” seems to have a target audience of those who collect cherub posters, God bless ‘em. As adapted by Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman from Mark Helprin’s novel, “Winter’s Tale” is a spiritual film that runs on Judeo-Christian good-versus-evil mythology and the firm belief that love conquers all, especially if you have a magic flying horse. I know that sounds pretty awesome, but with mythology like this, the details matter, and the details here are silly, dishwater dull or, more commonly, both, which might explain the uncommon number of walk-outs at the free word-of-mouth screening (despite the free chocolates handed out at the door). Colin Farrell plays Peter Lake, an orphan thief who, in 1916 New York, burgles an Upper West Side manse only to find Pre-Raphaelite-esque heiress Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay) playing Brahms on the piano. The meet-scary gets weirder when Lake asks, “What’s wrong with you?” and Penn replies, “Consumption. I’m 21, and I’ve never been kissed on the mouth.” Before

you laugh, remember, this is an Oscar-winning screenwriter. Anyway, out of presumable chivalry, Lake doesn’t immediately oblige Penn’s comehither-no-seriously-come-hither advances, waiting until he can be sized up skeptically by her dad (William Hurt). Eventually, there is a love scene, with an unintentionally funny finish, but not before nutty Irish gangster and agent-of-Lucifer Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe) glowers a whole lot while tracking Lake. Crowe’s side of the film plays like some kind of “Bored-walk Empire,” where men in early-20th-century suits and hats fret and impotently throw their weight around, but at least Crowe gets to hang out with a movie star who puts in a unbilled (and uninspired) two-scene turn as Lucifer. I give Goldman, in his inauspicious feature-directing debut, at least a few points for the lunacy of this romance, which has the advantage of not being written by Nicholas Sparks. “Winter’s Tale” doesn’t even do the courtesy of being floridly, entertainingly bad rather than merely a snooze. Then again, there’s plenty of inducement to make out in the dark rather than pay attention to the screen. So maybe it’s a great Valentine’s Day movie after all.

by Carol Blitzer The before photo of this Addison Avenue home shows an unexciting corner of lawn, highlighted with a few boulders.

hile lawns (and their attendant groundskeepers) were a sign of wealth in jolly ol’ England, today they’ve become at best a nuisance and at worst an ecoscofflaw. With their requirements for gallons of water (and irrigation), regular mowing, pesticides and fertilizer to keep them wellgroomed, lawns are ripe for replacement in this Mediterranean climate zone. That’s where Kim Raftery, a Palo Alto-based landscape designer for the past 17 years, comes in, teaching a class called “Replace Your Front Lawn with an Eye-Catching Garden” at Gamble Garden next weekend. She’ll be talking about the ba-

sics of garden design, plant selection (including good substitutes for lawns), how to take out a lawn, as well as incentives offered by the Santa Clara Valley Water District to replace lawns with less water-guzzling alternatives. At the end of her class, students may visit a couple of nearby gardens that demonstrate the design principles she’ll be talking about. Raftery, who has a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Stanford University, was first exposed to landscape design through her husband Kevin, a local arborist. When their children were small, she took classes through Foothill’s horticulture department and through U.C. Extension, ul-

timately becoming a member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD). She likes to quote her husband, saying, “Lawns are often put in by default because no one can think of anything else.” When thinking of replacing a lawn, she said, she begins with the basics: How will the space be used? What kind of plants does the client like? What about maintenance? “All front yards should have at least one tree. It puts the house in the landscape, makes the house feel less immense,” Raftery said. Likewise, a fence give a garden more structure, she said.

“It’s a design element, not just to keep out the dogs. It’s a good backdrop for plants.” She points out how iris can be planted between the sidewalk and the front fence — outside the garden — while roses on the inside could be growing through the fence lattice. That fence “creates a sense of enclosure, separateness from the sidewalk ... (a sense of) ‘Now I’ve arrived in my space,’” she added. Sometimes the space is large enough to divide into garden rooms. In one Mountain View front yard, she broke up the (continued on page 31)

large space by running a fence from the driveway midway across the front, with a sidepath to the patio. Add a couple of 2-foot-tall boulders and there’s a contained play area for the 2-year-old.

Garden Tips

In building the “bones” of the garden, Raftery will discuss how certain elements — fences, pathways, places to sit, water features, raised beds, garden art and lowvoltage lighting — can be incorporated in the overall design. So, if lawn is coming out, just what can come in, meeting the need for something green but not

Although the emphasis of this class is on making a garden more interesting, Raftery will also talk some about making them more drought-tolerant. The water district (through Palo Alto Utilities) is now offering rebates of $2 per square foot for the first 1,000 square feet, and $1 per square foot for the remaining (with a maximum rebate for Palo Alto residents of $3,000). The rebate program requires that the lawn be replaced with at least 50 percent approved plants (visit www.cityofpaloalto.org, search “landscape rebate” for details). Irrigation systems must also be replaced with approved systems,

Reduce water use and still have stunning gardens

by Jack McKinnon write this column three or four weeks before it is published. As I write it is still quite dry and we are in a record drought. The governor has recommended cutting back on water use by 20 percent. Even if it is raining when this column goes to press we will still need to pay attention to our changing climate when it comes to our gardens. Here is what I think can be done to reduce water use, move forward and still have stunning gardens. The first and most important thing is to look at the opportunities rather than the tragedy of it all. Be pro-active, not a victim. It is much more attractive anyway. Here are the tips: 1. Create a water feature without water. Now is the time to have a dry stream bed run right through your yard. Go for it. I have seen them go from the garden into the house or from the house out to the garden. When the rains come, it will fill up and run for a while and then when it dries up again, you have this really cool stone and gravel design. Put a copper heron in it for effect. 2. If you let your lawn die, go ahead and dig it out. I see way too many lawns that people stop watering. They die and look terrible. So why keep it? Dig it out and cover the area with mulch. What is mulch? Mulch is anything that covers an area to make it look better. Not dead lawn. Try wood chips, gravel, tree-company grindings, leaves and branches or old tennis balls. I don’t care. Then you can plant drought-tolerant plants like succulents and cactus

overly thirsty? Raftery will show examples of meadows, which are really a mixture of ornamental grasses plus flowering plants, as well as plants one can walk on, such as yarrow, Carex pansa, Dymondia and thyme. She’s had mixed results with yarrow, which needs to be mowed in winter, and thyme, which tends to die out in spots. Carex pansa looks more like lawn but requires considerably less upkeep, she said. “People often want green, flat space. It’s restful to the eye, especially if a lot is going on elsewhere,” Raftery said.

including low-volume drip, micro spray or bubbler. “A traditional system sprays high and fast, and you get a lot of evaporation,” Raftery explained. Besides that evaporation, many irrigation systems are set to over-water or spray in the wrong places. Raftery noted that more efficient nozzles are readily available, as are inline emitters (most commonly, made by Netafim) — 1/2inch tubes with holes cut every 12 inches that are placed beneath the surface. “With no evaporation, the water goes directly to the plants,” she said. Although this class is all about making a more interesting garden, the end result will likely use far less water, Raftery said. And, she added, it could very well end up with far less maintenance than mowing once a week. N Associate Editor Carol Blitzer can be emailed at cblitzer@ paweekly.com.

amidst the mulch. It will immediately look like you know what you are doing, sort of. At least you’re trying. 3. Plant an olive tree. They grow out of the rocks in Greece and do fine on very little water. When the olives get ripe you can make olive oil. 4. When you water, do a little digging to test your soil and see how deep it is going. Know that the surface area of a plant above the soil has an equal surface below. Water to meet this area’s needs but not more. I see quite a bit of over-watering going on all over the Bay Area. It would not be hard to meet the 20 percent reduction with just this tip. Note that most tree roots are within the first 18 inches of the surface, and that lawn roots seldom go deeper than 6 inches. 5. Take control of your automatic irrigation system. This may require doing some testing to see what areas are getting watered and when. What is important is having control. If this is too daunting, take heart. You can learn it. Learn one thing at a time starting with the clock. If the manual is gone missing or cannot be understood ask for help. I do, all the time. It can be quite confusing. 6. Put cups out to measure different areas of your property when the sprinklers come on. Your controller clock may be set for 5 minutes but that doesn’t tell you how much water is actually going in that 5 minutes. I like to get a package of plastic party cups, place them around a specific watering area (about 4 feet apart is good) and turn that station on for one minute. Measure the water in each cup and now you know. This combined with soil-moisture testing (by digging or probing with a soilmoisture meter) and you will have a good idea how to set your clock stations. 7. Here is a novel idea. Water by hand. It will give you

the ultimate awareness of your garden and how much water each plant needs. 8. Containers require more frequent watering than plants in the ground. Hand watering is the best way to water containers. A pair of pots by each door with flowers in them makes up for a lot of landscaping that is getting less water. Another good way to conserve water with containers is to have a saucer under each pot. 9. Take more care of the landscaping closest to the home. This goes for cultivation, replacing unhealthy plants, watering and fertilization. The further you get away from the house, the less is usually done. The exception is where vegetables and table flowers are grown. Usually these are also high care areas. In drought times it is important to have flowers on the table. It keeps the spirits up and gives us all hope. 10. The less plants in the garden, the more room there is for sculpture. Go ahead and get that art piece you always wanted. Become a collector. A couple of guidelines are appropriate here. Make sure it is mounted securely. There is nothing worse than a wobbly Statue of Liberty or Michelangelo’s David. Try a cardboard model for a few days to make sure the location works before pouring a concrete base. Make sure it is plumb (that is, straight up and down) according to the artist’s guidelines. And try to keep in the spirit of the surrounding garden and neighborhood. Although Andy Goldsworthy’s work looks pretty good anywhere from my perspective.
