A major issue in this year’s council election, the City Council touched on the

issue of reining in the cost of city employee compensation Tuesday as the City Council unanimously adopted a set of mid- and long-term budget strategies. While the city’s tax revenues for its $88 million general fund have remained flat in recent years, the rising cost of employee pay raises, health care and pension costs have brought on new deficits every year as city employee salaries are 80 percent of the city budget. On Tues-day finance director Patty Kong said that a recent actuarial report showed the cost of giving pensions to retired employees would increase by $5 million over three years. Having the city’s pension costs increase by “$2 million, two years in a row, is a significant challenge,” said City Manager Kevin Duggan. With all of the city’s unions’ con-tracts expiring over the next two years, council members said that the automatic pay raises guaranteed in multi-year union contracts in better economic times would prob-ably have to go. “In previous years automatic COLAs (cost of living adjust-ments) added $3 to $5 million to our annual budget,” said council member Laura Macias. “We need to be more careful about what we guarantee,” said council member Tom Means. As an economics professor at San Jose State University, Means said his union contract made pay raises dependent on state funding, implying that the city should give pay raises depending on whether or not tax revenues allow it. Other possibilities include ask-ing the city’s unions to share more

of the cost of health insurance and pension benefits, something they already do to some extent. On top of re-examining employ-ee compensation, other strategies adopted by the council to be imple-mented over the next year include an evaluation of alternative ways to operate the city’s money-losing golf course, examining the possibility of sharing services with other cities such as animal control and emergency com-munications services, and a look at ways to save money with the city’s vehicle fleet. The city will also consider a maintenance district for Castro Street that would assess a tax on

Preschool parents oppose cell tower atop church

Students boot up classmatesBy Nick Veronin

Two local high school seniors are taking old, unwanted computers donated by the

community, repairing essential components and software, and giving the machines to fellow students in need. The project, called Silicon for Society, began in the summer of

2009 in an effort to provide less for-tunate students with the tools they need to succeed in a world where computer literacy is essential, co-founder Jack Montgomery said. As a freshman at Los Altos High School, Montgomery read about Eastern and European cultures in his World Studies class. He was introduced to foreign customs and took in images and artwork

from places he had never been. However, even as Montgomery buried his nose in texts detailing the idiosyncrasies of faraway lands, he was astonished to learn of a community much closer to home — a community which lived in a manner entirely alien him. “I didn’t know that there was anybody who didn’t have a com-

Mountain View’s First Presbyterian Church has proposed putting a cell

phone tower on its roof, but the par-ents of a preschool on the property aren’t happy about it. The zoning administrator is set to rule on the proposal on Wednesday at 4 p.m., after the Voice goes to press. The First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Miramonte and

Cuesta streets has proposed a slew of wireless antennae devices on its roof to be enclosed in a new steeple. Parents of the Little Acorn preschool, located next door on the church’s property, are concerned about exposing 70 or so children to what may be cancer-causing radia-tion. As of noon on Wednesday 57 people signed an online petition in opposition, and 15 others have signed the paper version.

Parents have only recently learned about the proposal and started cir-culating the petition two days ago, said parent W. Tsang. “People are concerned about radi-ation,” she said. “Does the commu-nity really want this or need this or can it be explored somewhere else?” While the church may make money from leasing the space to Clear Wireless LLC, Tsang said the

POLICE CATCH MAN SUSPECTED OF FORGING PRESCRIPTION A Sunnyvale man fled Moun-tain View police after pharma-cists at a local drugstore reported that he was attempting to col-lect what they suspected was a forged prescription for painkill-ers, police said. Shortly after 6 p.m. on Nov. 2, Maurice Perkins allegedly attempted to obtain 180 tablets of the drug oxycodone at the Walgreens at Grant Road and El Camino Real, according to Mountain View police spokes-woman Liz Wylie. The pharmacist called the police to tell them she had reason to believe the prescription was forged, since she knew the doc-tor’s office listed was no longer in business, Wylie said. Perkins was just leaving the store when police arrived, she said. When officers attempted to detain him, he fled across Grant

Road, hopped two walls and darted into rush hour traffic on El Camino Real. In the middle of the road Perkins spotted another officer waiting for him on the opposite side of El Camino and stopped running, Wylie said. Officers tackled Perkins in the first lane of eastbound El Camino, which had been blocked by another officer’s cruiser. No weapons were used in the arrest. Police found marijuana on Perkins, which “he did not have a prescription for,” Wylie said. Perkins complained of knee pain and a cut on his arm, but declined transport from medical officials who inspected his inju-ries, she said. An arresting officer suffered a scuffed knee but also declined medical treatment. Perkins has been charged with resisting arrest, burglary, genera-tion and use of a forged prescrip-tion and possession of marijuana, according to Wylie.

Mountain View com-munity leader and educator Ralph Ben-

jamin DeBolt is well remem-bered by former Mountain View schoolchildren as the principal who sang to them on a weekly basis. He was 83 when he died last week at the family home in Mountain View. DeBolt, who was this report-er’s grandfather, was a princi-pal and assistant principal at several Mountain View schools throughout the 1960s and 1970s. After retirement he was a city com-missioner, a cable access TV person-ality and a local historian, among other things. A memorial service has been scheduled for Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. at his church, the Unitarian Univer-salist Fellowship in Sunnyvale at 1112 South Bernardo Ave. Until his death he was presi-dent of the Henry and Maria Holt Memorial Scholarship Foundation, which adminis-tered scholarships to promising young opera singers. A singer himself, he sang in the chorus in over 70 operas with the West Bay Opera in Palo Alto, where he was also a board member and then business manager for many years. He was close friends with Henry and Maria Holt, who founded the West Bay Opera. But he will be remembered by most as the school principal of large stature, known as “Big Ben” to some, who had high standards and clear rules but made things fun through his singing and guitar-playing. On Fridays “all the students got together and your grandfa-ther was well-known to have a guitar in his hand,” said Ernie Schmidt, now a planning com-missioner in Redwood City. He clearly remembers DeBolt when he was principal of Klein ele-mentary school, once located at Escuela and California Streets. DeBolt’s days at Klein in the 1970s are fondly remembered by a group of alumni and teachers

who still keep in touch. “I think it was the best school in the district,” said Audrey Wong, who was a teacher at Klein then. “It had some really rough kids and no vandalism. It was their place where they felt really secure so they took care of the school.” Wong said DeBolt was beloved and trusted because of all the ways he made his pres-ence known to students, which included regularly handing out popsicles. Rather than use the loud-speaker system, DeBolt would

do the pledge of allegiance and the day’s announce-ments with a large group of students around him. And Wong remem-bers the “joke of the day” when he would sometimes laugh so hard that he would turn

purple. For an hour every Friday he would lead students in singing traditional songs like “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt” or the Klein school birthday song if someone had had a birthday. “He was also a big man,” Schmidt said. “To us he was absolutely huge.” “A lot of us could have gone in different directions,” Schmidt said of his classmates. “Because of the high standards he held and insisted that teachers follow, a lot of us became good citizens and good leaders.

Bakotich house saved in new co-housing plan

COURTESY RENDERING

The historic Bakotich house could become part of a co-housing project for seniors.

By Daniel DeBolt

It was nearly set for demoli-tion or removal, but now the 1880s Bakotich house

on Calderon Avenue may be preserved along with a new senior housing project on the property. The tree-shrouded Bakotich house, known as the city’s sec-ond oldest home, would be restored to its original, smaller

size and moved to the front of the 1.3-acre property at 445 Calderon Ave. under the latest proposal from the Mountain View Co-housing Community. Moving the home that the Bakotich family lived in for the better part of a century would make way for a new senior hous-ing community: a three story con-dominium building with 19 units, shared recreation spaces and an

underground parking garage. An effort earlier this year to have the Victorian farmhouse house moved, possibly to a vacant lot in the Shoreline West neigh-borhood, did not pan out, as the prospective owner said it would have been too costly, said Susan Burwen. She has been leading the group of seniors with her husband David after purchasing

Co-op preschool ‘running out of time’By Nick Veronin

The Los Altos Parent Preschool is still on the hunt for a new home after being notified earlier this year that its lease on the Los Altos High School

grounds would end next summer. Parents involved in the 56-year-old cooperative pre-school made another plea to the board of trustees of the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District on Monday, asking them to reconsider their decision to terminate the lease. “It’s beyond comprehension to me that there is no space to be made,” Dara Tynefield, board president emeritus for the preschool, told the trustees and district administration at the Nov. 8 meeting. She called the board’s action “a bad decision for the community at large.” District trustees and administration offered their condolences and said they would be happy to help find a new location for the preschool before unanimously voting to terminate the lease by June 15, 2011. “I think we’ve done the best we can in a bad situa-tion,” said board member Julia Rosenberg. Tynefield said that the news is unfortunate, since the preschool has been in the community so long and provides needed services at affordable rates. “It’s not surprising,” she said. “It’s still disheartening.” The preschool provides preschool services to about 60 families, but “this isn’t just about the kids,” Tynefield said. Because it is a cooperative, it charges lower tuition rates than other local preschools. It is also a part of

Los Altos High and the district adult schools’ child development curriculum — parents and high school students who work at the cooperative earn credits in child development. If the preschool is forced to move outside of the dis-trict, this component would be lost, Tynefield said.

Low-cost lease Currently, the preschool pays no rent for the land it uses on the Los Altos High School grounds. Finding a new location, within district boundaries, that will pro-vide space for free or at below-market rates is posing a significant challenge for the Los Altos Parent Preschool. Tynefield told the district officials that the preschool has been in talks with more than 60 churches, city officials from Mountain View and Los Altos, Foothill College, El Camino Hospital, other preschools and multiple non-profit organizations. Securing a free or below-market lease rate is just as critical as the parent-participation model to keeping tuition low, Tynefield said. If the Los Altos Parent Preschool were to pay market rates for their operation, it would “kill the co-op nature” of the program. She said that people would not be willing to pay normal preschool rates and still take on the duties required of parents at the preschool — about one full day each week, on average. Los Altos Parent Preschool had to overcome a hurdle last year after cuts were made at the state level to adult education, forcing the cooperative to raise its tuition.

pre-school may lose enrollment because of it. Pastor Tim Boyer said a com-mittee of church members had been discussing the proposal since July. “We wouldn’t do anything on this campus that would hurt God’s children,” Boyer said. After examining research compiled by the cell phone company and having discussed the issue with church members, Boyer said he was confident the cell phone antennas were safe.

“I would be more concerned with that (cell phone) in your hand that I would be with that (cell phone tower) on top of the church.” Boyer declined to say how much the church would be paid to host the antennas, saying, “I don’t think that’s important.” He said the reason for allow-ing the antennas was more to “provide a service” especially since the site is within sight of El Camino Hospital. The proposal on the zon-ing administrator’s agenda for Wednesday, Nov. 10, is for “a

wireless communications facil-ity within a new steeple feature on the roof of an existing church, including a GPS antenna, three microwave dishes, three panel antennas/RRUs and one equip-ment cabinet in a fence enclo-sure.” The zoning administrator will make a final decision, unless it is appealed to the City Council.Check MV-Voice.com for an update.

downtown businesses, unless those businesses protest it en masse. The consensus emerging among city officials is that there is very little to cut from the city’s budget after several years of cut-backs. The city is functioning on a “skeleton crew” said Beverly Stenson, fiscal services manager for the police department. “At some point (the city) is so streamlined there’s no stream-lining to be done — a point of diminishing returns,” said Mayor Ronit Bryant.

Raising taxes significantly is not among the immediate strategies the council adopted, although a potential long term strategy is a voter-approved increase of 1 percent to the city’s 3-percent utility user’s tax on gas, electric-ity and phone use, which would raise $2 million a year. The city could also ask voters to increase sales or hotel taxes. Council members said the city should more aggressively try raising revenues through economic development. For example, the city has recently purchased land at the corner of Moffett Boulevard and Highway 101 that city officials would like

to turn into a shopping center that would produce sales tax revenue. “The city has cash, and I would like to see us make more of an investment in the city’s future,” said council member Jac Siegel. Stenson, president of the Eagles, a union that represents mid-level city employees, said her union was disappointed that they were not consulted by city management about the strate-gies the council adopted, saying that the city “put the cart before the horse.” V

least right now, is that the world is moving toward wireless,” said Hope, assistant superintendent of person-nel and technology for the district. “I would venture to guess that before too long there will be more wireless connectivity than wired.” In anticipation of a new wireless world, Hope has been working with two local consulting firms, to see which can come up with the best plan for the district. The project is scheduled to begin in December. The successful contractor will be able to build a network for the district that will allow for very high volumes of wireless traffic — for both students and teachers — and at the same time be easily expand-able, should the need arise for more bandwidth as student population and use of wireless technology grows. Hope has told both contractors that the new network must be able to support all normal wireless activ-ity on the high school campuses — which is already substantial — while at the same time have the capability to allow an auditorium filled with 300 students “to push the ‘enter’ button at the same time and get access.” The network would blanket most of each campus, even stretching to

parts of the athletic fields. Demand for such a network is already apparent at district high schools, Hope said. Physical educa-tion teachers who have purchased their own iPads have said they would like to be able to use the devices to access the district’s digi-tal attendance system out on the football fields; the school’s laptops, which teachers may check out for Internet-based activities, are a hot commodity. The new network may also pro-vide the base for a district-wide voice over Internet protocol — or VoIP — phone system. VoIP phones transmit voice data over the Internet, instead of via land lines or cellular towers and satellites. If such a system were installed, teach-ers would carry hand-held devices, similar in size to cell phones, but would place calls over the district’s VoIP network. Hope said he is not worried about increased wireless band-width contributing to greater on-campus distractions. Most students have access to the Inter-net on cell phones anyway, he noted. In the classroom, teachers are responsible for ensuring stu-dents stay focused; and in the hallways and during lunch, stu-dents wouldn’t be able to do more than what they normally do now, he said. V

puter around here,” recalled Mont-gomery, who is now a senior. Montgomery had noticed that some students would turn in hand-written essays, but said it didn’t click until the end of his first year in high school, when he found out that one of his English classmates lived in a home without a computer. “I had never, at least consciously, encoun-tered someone who had never used a computer before,” he said. The discovery made an impres-sion on Montgomery, who began

discussing it with his friend, Tyler Stout, another senior at Los Altos. “Ever since I was little, I have had unlimited access to a computer,” Stout wrote in an e-mail. “It was not fair to these kids that they were underperforming simply because they lacked proper tools.” And so, toward the end of their sophomore year, Montgomery and Stout, friends since eighth grade, decided to take action. They found-ed Silicon for Society — a registered non-profit — and began collecting old desktops and laptops from fami-lies who no longer needed them. Montgomery, the computer whiz of the pair, set up shop in his bed-room, where he pulls the computers apart, cleans their components, installs operating systems and soft-ware, and recycles the parts that are too old or broken. Stout, who has had an interest in philanthropy from a young age, began writing grants and did the legwork to get the project under the umbrella of the Los Altos Commu-nity Foundation, a local charitable organization. In the early stages of Silicon for Society, Stout realized that not only had some students never owned a computer — some had never used the computer programs that came as second nature to him and Montgomery. Stout came up with the idea of providing free tutoring classes to teach digital newcomers the basics of computer operations. Montgomery and Stout now require computer recipients to com-plete a rudimentary skills course before they are allowed to take the machines home. Students learn how to use the Linux operating system installed on all Silicon for Society computers, and are shown

the basics of Internet search, word processing, slide shows and spread-sheets. Montgomery estimates he and Stout spend about six hours each week tutoring. “Sometimes they didn’t even know what they were missing,” Montgomery said. These comput-ers aren’t only adding to students academic capabilities; having Inter-net access adds another dimen-sion of social interaction to these students’ lives. They can laugh along with their other friends over a recent YouTube meme or share interesting links on Facebook. “If you could see the look on these students faces (when they get their first computer), that’s kind of worth it in itself.” In many cases, Montgomery said, the computer ends up being used by the whole family. “That’s pretty cool, actually, to see everybody in the family gathering around look-ing at this thing,” he said. “You fire it up and then, ‘Oh! Wow!’” Because all the computers are donated by the community, Silicon for Society has a very low overhead. Grants are used to pay for print-ing instructional materials or to replace components that are either missing or beyond repair. By using Linux and the accompanying suite of free applications, Montgomery and Stout don’t have to worry about expensive licensing fees. “It wouldn’t work without Linux,” Montgomery said. So far, Montgomery estimates Silicon for Society has repaired and donated about 30 computers — a mix of laptops and desktops — to students at Mountain View and Los Altos high schools. Some of the computers have also gone to students at Almond Elementary. “There is a community element to it,” Montgomery said. “I think people feel like they are doing something important when they help somebody out locally.” Montgomery said he would like to start his own business one day. Stout plans to major in econom-ics. They aren’t entirely sure what will become of their project after this year, although Stout’s younger brother has expressed interest in taking over. If one or both teens end up going to college locally, they may continue donating computers. Both teens said that they hope whatever they end up doing after college will benefit society. “Whatever anyone can do to improve their community or a fellow individual makes a huge dif-ference,” Stout wrote. “Silicon for Society allows me to use the technology that I love to help people to do things with their life,” Montgomery said. “I’d like to do that in my career, as well. If I could do that, it would be really fulfilling.” Anyone interested in donating a computer can contact Montgomery and Stout at siliconforsociety@gmail.com or 415-881-7342. V

bottle up your grandfather and literally just pour it over our edu-cators right now that are trying to reach these young students. Your grandfather was the essence of what an educator should strive to be.” Klein was closed as student enrollment dropped in the late 1970s and is now the site of Klein Park. DeBolt also served as prin-cipal at Huff Elementary School, Castro Elementary School, Bubb Elementary School and was vice principal at Graham Middle School. The larger community benefit-ed from DeBolt’s leadership style as well as he served on 14 boards and committees throughout the years, including the board of the Community Services Agency from 1976 to 1985.

Local historian DeBolt had been president of the Mountain View Histori-cal Association when the Navy decommissioned Moffett Field in 1994. The historical asso-ciations of Mountain View and Sunnyvale were contacted to help preserve the historical artifacts that were in various collections on the former Naval base. DeBolt formed the board of the Mof-fett Field Historical Society and served as its founding president. His naval experience and lifelong love of military planes and ships made him a natural fit for the job and he was proud of having been involved. “He was a natural president of boards, anything he joined he was president,” said his wife Carol Harris. In 1988 he was a founding board member of Mountain View Community Television, on which he later had his own talk show, called City View. He interviewed local figures, from his fly fishing neighbor to the last surviving sailors of the U.S.S. Macon, the massive airship sta-tioned at Moffett Field in the 1930s. In the mid-1980s he was appointed to the downtown revitalization commission, and when major improvements were finished on Castro Street he proudly showed off what the city had accomplished to his extended family. At one point he also wrote a pamphlet, a walking history tour of downtown, which is still circulated. Born in 1927, DeBolt grew up during the Depression in Santa Maria and spent his summers on his grandparent’s farm in Lom-poc. As a young man he was a

Public meetingSanta Clara Valley Water District

Please join the Santa Clara Valley Water District for second round design workshops regarding proposed flood detention areas at Blach School and McKelvey Park. Each meeting will focus on one proposed detention area. You are welcome to attend one or both of the workshops. The purpose of these meetings is to update interested members of the public on revisions made to the conceptual site designs based on feedback received at the initial design workshops held in September 2010.Staff from the water district design team will provide a current project overview and solicit further public input.

The flood detention areas would capture peak flood flows that would currently overtop thecreek banks during heavy rainstorms. The flood waters captured at the height of the stormrunoff would be later released back into the creek and the impacted flood basins would be restored once stored waters have receded.

supporter of President Franklin Roosevelt, had a fascination with airships and owned a hot-rod Ford Model T. He was able to ride in a real airship for the first time in 2008, when the Zeppelin Eureka arrived at Moffett Field and was recorded in the Voice. He was also a regular contributor to the Noon Balloon, a publication about airships.

He joined the Navy just as World War II was ending in 1945. He served for three years as an electrician on the U.S.S. Diphda, a Navy supply ship. He was the projectionist on the ship and faced unhappy sailors when he couldn’t find a decent movie. On the Diphda he sailed all over the Pacific Ocean to such places as Shanghai, Seattle, the Philippines and Point Barrow north of the Arctic Circle, all the while keeping a diary about his experiences. He’d make a point of exploring places while on breaks, met people at church functions, and hitch-hiked to

cities all over the West Coast, visiting museums and movie theaters. He continued as a Navy reservist for 35 years, becoming a chief warrant officer. With the financial aid of the GI Bill, he attended junior col-lege in Santa Maria, majoring in science, and then attended the University of California Santa Barbara, where he received a bachelor’s degree in education. He had always wanted to work in schools, taking inspiration from his father, a teacher who died when DeBolt was 13. He later earned a master’s degree in educational administration

from San Jose State University. He arrived in Mountain View in the early 1950s after he was recruited to teach at Green Gables elementary school in Palo Alto. He and his first wife, the late Jacquetta DeBolt, bought a house on Laura Lane in the Monta Loma neighborhood and had two sons, Chris and Geoff DeBolt. They moved a few years later to a newly constructed home in Waverly Park on Frank-lin Avenue where he lived until Nov. 3, the day he died with fam-ily at his side. He is survived by his sons Geoff and Chris, his grandsons

the property last year with the help of investors.

The restored house would be used as a guesthouse for the seniors, reducing the size of the condo building. “I think it will be a nice addition,” Burwen said. “It gives a sense of entrance.” The proposal is good news to city officials, who were “trying to find ways to encourage the house to be part of the project,” said zoning administrator Peter Gilli earlier this year. “It makes it an attractive project,” said council member Jac Siegel, who wanted the city to buy and preserve the house after Anne Bakotich passed away in 2007. “It makes it something people are proud to have in their city.” The cost of restoring and mov-ing the historic house is unknown, Burwen said, but preserving it will save a significant amount of money on an environmental impact report that would have been necessary before demolishing it. In the previous proposal, costs to buy a condo ranged from $750,000 for a 1,370-square-foot unit to $1.25 million for a 2,050-square-foot unit. An underground parking garage and an elevator have already pushed up prices. “That’s the critical issue,” Gilli said earlier this year. “If it becomes so expensive that they can’t attract buyers, the whole project stops.” To reduce the size of the 1,700-square-foot house, some more recent additions made to the rear would be removed. Burwen said that “80 per-cent of the original house” would be preserved. It would also drop several feet in height as it will be placed on a lower foundation. There are 10 senior households seriously committed to buying into the project, Burwen said, and many more are interested. She says the experience has been “gratifying” so far.

ONE OF THE MANY REASONS TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO:

STEVE MARSHECKSTEVE EARNED HIS B.A. IN MATHEMATICS FROM UC SAN DIEGO AND HIS M.A. IN MATHEMATICS FROM VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY.He wants his students to see the beauty and magic in mathematics. He says, “Once I experienced Abstract Algebra in college, I was hooked. I want my students to see the structure and logic in math that is often hidden by the details and computations.”

When Steve isn’t teaching math at the Priory, he pushes his physical limits by training for Ironman Triathlons. In addition, he coaches the Priory’s Middle School cross-country team.

He believes teaching is a gift for the teacher and the student. Steve says, rather humbly, “After 17 years, I still think teaching is fun. I enjoy attempting to convince teenagers that math is beautiful. Occasionally, I succeed.”

If it has to raise tuition again, Tynefield said, retaining current attendance would be difficult and recruiting new families would be “impossible.” The preschool offers multiple programs for different age groups with tuition ranging from $1,900 to $3,600 annually. “Simply, we cannot afford com-mercial rents and offer the qual-ity program we do, at an accessible tuition,” she said. For comparison, a month’s tuition for Wonder World Preschool in Mountain View is $950 for week-long, half-day programs for two- and three-year-olds; tuition for Action Day Primary Plus preschool in Mountain View can run as much as $1,524 per month for the pre-kindergarten age bracket. The adult-education component makes the preschool even more indispensable, Tynefield said. The training Los Altos Parent Preschool provides to high school students and local parents ends up benefit-ing the community. If the coopera-tive goes away the community will lose “affordable quality preschool and parent education, and a foun-dation of volunteering in education, not to mention a multi-generational history,” Tynefield said. While the hard deadline for the cooperative to move isn’t until next summer, Tynfield said that if the pre-school doesn’t have something solid lined up by January it will be hard to convince families to sign up during the registration, which begins in February for most area preschools.

High school growth “We’ve known for a couple of years that we were going to need that space,” Barry Groves, district super-intendent, said, noting that teachers are already sharing classes. Over the next 10 years, Groves and the board anticipate the district will grow by 25 percent. “We need to use that site.” That translates to about 450 additional high school students at Los Altos by 2020, according to Joe White, superintendent of business services for the district. He said that the district would like to use the 15,000 square feet now occu-pied by the preschool’s parking area, playground and portable, to accommodate that growth. Groves said the district plans to use the preschool’s space for voca-tional training courses for Los Altos High School. Both Groves and Rosenberg have worked with the preschool to try to find a new site within the district’s borders. Groves said that the district does have an interest in maintain-ing the educational opportunities the preschool provides the adult school and the high school. Tynefield said she wishes the dis-trict would do more. “We’re running out of time,” she said. V

A study says that deterring one at-risk youth from a life of crime saves an estimated

$2.6 million to $5.3 million. In that equation, Friends for Youth is likely an extremely cost-effective program. For the past 30 years, this group has paired at-risk youths ages 8 to 17 with mentors, serving over 1,770 youth throughout the Peninsula and South Bay. Youths referred to the program often have multiple risk factors,

such as having an incarcerated par-ent, being at risk for gang involve-ment, being bul-lied or bullying and not reaching their full poten-tial at school. The group has seen an increase in refer-rals in recent years

as the bad economy has put an increased strain on families. In response, Friends for Youth

has launched the Mentor Now Initiative, which has accelerated the application process, doubled the number of information and train-ing sessions offered and reimbursed new volunteers for fingerprinting costs. The initiative also strives to find more male mentors. “Since we have more boys referred than girls, we need more male mentors. Through this initiative, we hope to put the men back in mentoring!” says Rebecca Duran, program director of mentoring services at Friends for Youth. New mentors need not have any particular skills or experience; they can be of any profession or age. After attending a one-hour information session and a six-hour training session, the mentors, or “Senior Friends,” will be matched with a “Junior Friend.” “Many factors go into a quality match,” explains Duran. “We look at characteristics that might be shared such as hobbies, personali-ties, number of siblings, and career interests.” The pair commits to meeting weekly for one year. During that time, they have support via a program coordinator who sets up group activities and provides free

Amazon.com gives custom-ers great recommenda-tions based on their buying

behavior and interests. In Septem-ber 2009, Netflix awarded a prize of $1 million to the team that wrote the best software for recommend-ing movies. The competition lasted nearly three years with competitors sharing results online. The winning solution is described in three tech-nical papers on www.netflixprize.com. This has stimulated develop-ment of software to help people make optimal choices — recom-mendation engines. Where do you look to choose local businesses, like restaurants, shops and theaters? Websites like Yelp, Google and Trip Advisor rank establishments using star ratings. Five stars is good, one star is bad. A coffee shop that gets five stars from teenagers texting on cell phones may get low ratings from profes-sionals working on laptops. Bizzy (www.bizzy.com) thinks it has a better way to help consum-ers choose businesses. I met with Bizzy’s founder and president, Gadi Shamia, and Ryan Kuder, its vice president of marketing, at Red

Rock Coffee. Gadi sold a company to SAP, where he focused on small businesses, and Ryan has worked at Yahoo! and eBay. More than a coffee house, Red Rock offers con-certs, a book club, technical meetings and open mic nights. So Bizzy also hopes to help local businesses like Red Rock get news out about happenings, gather-ings and events. Bizzy gives consumers recom-mendations by finding others with similar tastes. So if I like Red Rock and Books Inc. and someone else likes Red Rock, Books Inc. and Shoreline Park, then Bizzy might recommend I visit Shoreline Park. Bizzy relies on crowd sourcing. In the first 72 hours of operation, Bizzy users shared over 40,000 businesses in 46 states. With over half a million businesses supplying food and drink in the United States, it wants millions of users to enter quality recommendations.

Bizzy’s system, which is currently in beta test, will ask you twenty questions. You decide whether to answer them. For example, if you don’t run, skip the question that asks you for the best running gear shop. I tried Bizzy and after answer-ing questions, it recommended Chinese restaurant Chef Chu’s, kitchen store Williams-Sonoma and department store Neiman-Marcus (I prefer Nordstrom). Bizzy is entering a very crowded space. Urbanspoon, Open Table and Foodspotting are just some of the iPhone apps that I use to find restaurants. Bizzy will soon have a mobile application. Like Twitter, Bizzy is quite open — it reveals those with similar interests and their recommendations. It could evolve to compete with dating web-sites Match.com and eHarmony, but Bizzy officials doesn’t see that in their plans. Bizzy has 15 employees and is wholly-owned by ReachLocal, a southern Californian company. Gadi says this allows him to con-centrate on building the business, rather than raising startup capital. So why did he decide to locate in Mountain View? Good transpor-tation, easy parking and a vibrant downtown that attracts talent from

both San Francisco and San Jose, he said. Every vendor needs a good rec-ommendation engine, and many big companies, like Amazon and Netflix, have them already. Bizzy hopes to help the little guys. Gadi and Ryan have set Moun-tain View Voice readers a challenge. Can we get 1,000 people in Moun-tain View to provide recommenda-tions to Bizzy in a week? V

Kittens flood local shelters

Throughout the month of November local adoption centers will be offering kittens for the bargain-basement adoption fee of $10. Kitten season starts in January and often reaches its peak in the fall in Santa Clara County. The race to find a home for the kittens is fierce as local shelters are filled to the brim with felines.

City of Palo Alto Animal Ser-vices, City of San Jose Animal Care & Services, Humane Society Silicon Valley, and Town Cats in Morgan Hill are participating in this adoption event. The Santa Clara Animal Care & Control in San Martin and Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority also will be offering cats, but not for the same low price. The shelter felines have under-gone health and behavior checks

and have been spayed or neutered to ensure they are ready for a new home. Shelter officials urge people in the community not only to adopt the babies, but to help round up stray cats and have them neutered before returning them to their regular haunts. Materials, supplies, and volun-teers are also in demand at these shelters during kitten season.

tickets to events. “Even if they’ve lived in the Bay Area their whole lives, many of these students have never seen the ocean, never been to a baseball game, never seen the Golden Gate Bridge,” says Duran. The goal is for the pair to develop a natural friendship. In fact, 90 percent of Friends for Youth pair-ings continue beyond a year, which far exceeds the 30-60 percent suc-cess rate typically seen. As a result, Friends for Youth has developed a mentoring institute to share its best practices with organizations nationwide. One pair of friends who have

surpassed their one-year anniver-sary is Mountain View resident Alice Bittner and her Junior Friend William. While they do many different activities together, for one-and-a-half years of their four-year relationship, the pair spent significant time raising money for William’s class trip to Washington, D.C. They sold cookies and choc-olate-covered strawberries, invited Alice’s friends to a movie night and buffet that she and William prepared, and asked restaurants to save cans and bottles. “William achieved his goal and was one of only 12 kids in the school who were able to go on the trip. I was the proudest mentor in the world!” Alice said. Alice has enjoyed seeing William

grow more mature. “Originally, he didn’t want to set goals. Now he says all the time, ‘Alice, I have a new goal.’ But the most rewarding part of our rela-tionship is seeing that we both are willing to hang in there no matter how beautiful or how difficult it is,” she said. If you would like to learn more about becoming a mentor or about

the Mentoring Institute, go to www.friendsforyouth.org. Upcoming information sessions are set for November 12, 16, 20, and 22. V

RISKY TO PUT HOUSING NEAR GAS PIPELINES

I am appalled at the lack of con-cern or response by the city gov-ernment to the 30-inch natural gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno. Surely the three or four simi-lar gas lines would rupture in Mountain View in the event of an earthquake of 7.25 or more. Anderson Dam would also collapse and every nearby city would be unable to provide mutual aid-trained personnel or equipment. Still, the City Council goes for-ward with proposals in the General Plan to rezone Old Middlefield Way and Rengstorff Avenue to “high density housing/commercial.” There are three 30-inch natural gas pipelines within 500 feet or less of that intersection. The city staff and planning commission are unwilling to adjust the new General Plan to consider the risks of placing “high density” housing near these 30-inch natural gas lines installed over 50 years ago. And, even worse, considering “city subsidized” high density housing with knowledge of the gas line locations — as printed in the Voice would open the city to lawsuits for negligence.

CALTRAIN SHOULD CHARGE BIKERS FOR EXTRA SEAT

Recently, the Voice has pub-lished a series of letters by Caltrain bike commuters com-plaining about inadequate ser-vice. These riders all seem to feel, rightly or wrongly, that they deserve special privileges and treatment just because they ride bicycles. They don’t seem to realize two very important facts. First, Caltrain is having a massive financial crisis and is being forced to cut, not add, service. Second, those bike cars are not free. It costs Caltrain money to purchase and convert them and also to run them on their trains. I have a simple solution to this problem. Bike riders presently are getting a free ride for the space that their bicycles occupy. Caltrain should charge them double fare — one for their seat and one for their bike’s “seat.” They would then be paying their fair share. If riders are willing to accept this increase in revenue for Caltrain, then I’m sure that Caltrain would be willing to consider running more bike cars during peak commute hours.

Unlike the “throw the bums out” trend prevalent in last week’s congressional election, incumbents ruled the day in Mountain View last week.

Led by Margaret Abe-Koga, Ronit Bryant and Jac Siegel won convincing victories Nov. 2 and all three will serve a second four-year term on the City Council. Of the three challengers, Google engineer Dan Waylonis came up with the most votes, but fell far short of the margin necessary to unseat an incumbent. And Measure T, which will update the city’s long-standing phone tax, also passed handily despite criticism from some resi-dents that the city may have violated campaign laws in materials it sent out to promote the measure. Given their strong showing, it appears that residents are satis-fied with the current stewardship at City Hall and did not buy into charges that current contracts with city workers are too costly and need to be rolled back. The incumbents strongly dis-agreed, and say that the city already extracts more contributions from employees for retirement and medical care than many other bargaining units on the Peninsula. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see a counterpoint to the council’s performance over the last year put up by Waylonis, Greg David and Aaron Jabbari. There is no question that in the years ahead, the city will need to apply considerable downward pressure to employees’ salary, pension and health benefits. We predict that council members who take large contributions from municipal employee unions will think twice about doing so. How can council members who vote on employee compensation benefits behind closed doors avoid at least the appearance of a conflict of interest? The escalating cost of employee compensation is a fact of life in cities up and down the Peninsula, where local governments are talking about contracting out some services to escape expensive personnel contracts. Some cities are beginning to understand just how difficult it will be to continue to meet their obligations to pay employees’ pensions if the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) continues to suffer from poor returns on its investments and the economy does not turn around. On Nov. 2, Menlo Park voters passed a measure to roll back the retirement age from 55 to 60 and reduce benefits for all incoming employees except those in the public safety division. The unions say they will challenge the result, but Measure L’s passage sends a message that at least some voters are fed up with what are viewed as overly generous health and retirement benefits. In this election, the challengers were hampered by their lack of experience in any part of city government. This is an important qualification and one that voters certainly notice. Every sitting council member started out serving on a city board or commis-sion before running for the council. It makes sense for aspiring office-holders to gain insight into the operation of the city at a lower level before seeking a council seat. Serving on the City Council, which oversees a budget of some $70 million a year, is hard work. Many members put in nearly 40 hours a week just to keep up. It is a real commitment to represent the city and help guide it through today’s challenging economic environment. And at least in this election, only those with experience need apply.

By Sheila Himmel

Chalateco still looks like the Taco Bell it used to be, if not the Una Mas it was

more recently. Don’t worry. Cha-lateco is something completely different. On the almost-Sunnyvale side of El Camino, find a festival of cheap, plentiful Salvadoran and Mexico City street foods, made fresh to order. There are burritos, but Chalateco is more taco truck than Cal-Mex. Check out the meats, from sesos (beef brains) to costillo (beef rib meat), sua-dero (beef, it says) and chuleta (pork chop). Another way Chalateco stands

alone: You don’t pay until after you get the food. There is a cer-tain trust built into the opera-tion. Type on the takeout menu is so small you may need reading glasses even if you don’t nor-mally wear them. The in-house menu, by contrast, offers giant, spiral-bound laminated pages with photographs of food items, described in Spanish and English. It’s still confusing. I look forward to figuring out my favorites and not having to navigate either menu. That could take a while. We made a valiant attempt, but barely dented the cornucopia.

Tons of tasty choices ARRAY OF STREET FOODS FROM EL SALVADORAND MEXICO CITY SHINE AT AT CHALATECO

Chalateco’s bistec a la Mexicana is steak cooked with onions, tomatoes and jalapeños, served with rice.

MICHELLE LE

Chalateco retains traces of its history as a Taco Bell and an Una Mas.

Salvadoran tamales ($1.99) are meltingly creamy. Yuca con chich-arron, potato-like cassava with fried pork ($5.99), is fabulously crunchy. If you like spice, chile verde is a feast of tender pork or chicken meat in a rich tomatillo sauce. If not, it may be too hot. Sopes ($4.75 with meat, $3.25 without) sort of split the differ-ence between taco and pupusa in

thickness, the masa formed with pinched sides, the better to sup-port a small village of meat, refried beans, salsa, iceberg lettuce and sour cream. Cocktail-size tacos ($1.85 each) involve two soft corn tortillas and a hefty pile of chopped meat topped with cilantro, onions and salsa. The mixed ceviche tostada ($4.75) wisely came in two parts: the mari-nated fish, shrimp and octopus, topped with slices of creamy avo-cado, and the crisp flat tortilla. If you’re getting takeout, make sure you get what you ordered.

On one visit we were shorted two pupusas ($1.99 each) but got plen-ty of curtido, the spicy fermented coleslaw and hot sauce you eat with them. The second time was the charm. These griddled corn-meal pockets, patted into shape minutes earlier, are just greasy enough. Their midsections are combinations of meats, beans, cheese and plants, simmered into paste. The queso con loroco (a Salvadoran herb), and revueltas (beans, pork and cheese) pupusas are standard-setters. Alambres ($7.75) are like cheese steaks — chopped meat grilled

with peppers and cheese — wrapped in soft corn tortillas. Len-gua, beef tongue, makes especially wonderful alambres. Where Chalateco does use bread, in the tortas and pambrazos, it’s a gigantic, puffy, bland roll. But I can’t say enough about the chicken torta and chori-zo pambrazo fillings. Breakfast items include huevos rancheros ($6.99), eggs your way with meat ($6.99), and breakfast burritos. And the Salvadoran breakfast: plantains, eggs, beans

and sour cream ($7.75). Among the other items we didn’t try: chilaquiles, green salad, fajitas,

soups, stews, oysters, grilled fish, deep-fried tilapia, steak with grilled onions and a low-carb Plato de Dieto. On weekends Chalateco serves up barbacoa

and consommé. Chalateco refers to a person from Chalatenango, a Salvadoran

municipality that suf-fered greatly in El Sal-vador’s 12 years of civil war, ending in 1992. Mountain View’s Chalateco is the new-est of seven. San Jose has four, Milpitas one and Alameda one. The

two TV sets seem always to be on LOUD. That and the bright stripes of yellow, orange and brown paint may make takeout more appealing. V

CONVICTION (Century 16, Century 20) Life wasn’t exactly peaches and cream for Betty Anne Waters, according to the “based on a true story” film “Conviction.” But when her brother Kenny fails to beat a murder rap, Waters doesn’t look back; instead, she embarks on a two-decade quest to prove Kenny’s innocence. To succeed, the high-school dropout will have to get her GED, earn her BA, graduate law school, and pass the bar exam. And all that’s merely prelude to facing the corruption and bureaucracy endemic to the Massachusetts institutions that arrested Kenny and sentenced him to life without parole. This is a job for ... Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank! Rated R for language and some violent images. One hour, 47 minutes. — P.C.

THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST (Guild) Lisbet Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire, doesn’t literally kick any nests, hornet or otherwise, in this last installment of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy. In fact, Lisbet, again played by Noomi Rapace, spends the first half or more of the film in a hospital bed. Though the target of vari-ous vicious killers, Lisbet is not as much the center of this film as is investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist). After a violent pre-credits sequence, the action becomes more politi-cal than physical. Mikael, together with his editor and occasional lover Erika Berg-er (Lena Endre) and the rest of the staff of “Millennium,” their monthly magazine, digs deep to get the goods on the corrupt government officials and shrinks who put Lisbet into a mental hospital at age 12. Rated R for strong violence, some sexual material and brief language. Two hours, 28 minutes.— R.P.

MEGAMIND 1/2(Century 16, Century 20) Will Ferrell plays the dastardly doofus Megamind, the perpetual loser of epic matches with superhero Metro Man (Brad Pitt, amus-ingly channeling buddy George Clooney). Always drawn into the middle, reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey) fills the Lois Lane role. The orderly world of Metro City goes topsy-turvy when Megamind appears, almost accidentally, to van-quish Metro Man. What is a supervillain without his hero? This question, at times addressed seriously in the pages of comic books, gets a comic treatment — or, rather, a ‘romantic comedy’ treatment as Megamind attempts to win over Rox-anne, for whom he’s long carried a torch. The story’s loose parameters of good and evil put forward the ideal that everyone is capable of redemption. Rated PG for action and some language. One hour, 36 minutes. — P.C.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:EDWARD GREGORY ALTOUNEY, EDWARD G. ALTOUNEY, EDWARD ALTOUNEYCase No.: 1-10-PR-167520 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of EDWARD GREGORY ALTOUNEY, EDWARD G. ALTOUNEY, EDWARD ALTOUNEY. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: UNION BANK, N.A. in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA.The Petition for Probate requests that: UNION BANK, N.A. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the person-al representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to inter-ested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an inter-ested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on December 2, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 3 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA, 95113. If you object to the granting of the peti-tion, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.Attorney for Petitioner:/s/ Jennifer H.

OUR NEIGHBORHOODS is coming!

Coming to homes Dec. 29 (The Almanac) and

Dec. 31, 2010 (Palo Alto Weekly and Mountain View Voice)

For many reasons, the Midpeninsula area has been the most sought-after address to call home and to locate a business. Communities like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Portola Valley, Woodside, Los Altos and Mountain View lead the way by maintaining some of the best schools in the nation, by providing superior community services and infrastructure, and by helping establish the Bay Area as the center of innovation and technology.

Each year we produce Our Neighborhoods, a publication showcasing the many neighborhoods unique to their own communities. Each neighborhood is featured, capturing its particular qualities and resources, including a map of the neighborhood, schools, parks and more.
