octors at El Camino
Hospital tried their
hands at a relatively
new surgical method Monday.
The technique, known as
single-incision laparoscopic
surgery — or SILS — employs
a miniature camera, tiny light
and a variety of tools attached
to the ends of long wires, which
allow surgeons to perform a
wide array of procedures, such
as appendectomies, hysterectomies, and hernia operations,
all through a single opening in
a patient’s belly button.
According to hospital doctors, as well as officials from the
medical technology company
running the event, the technique is gaining popularity in
the field of minimally invasive
medical procedures.

City barks up new tree for animal control
COUNCIL CONSIDERS MONEY-SAVING CONTRACT WITH SANTA CLARA-BASED AGENCY
By Daniel DeBolt
T
he city is taking a serious
look at switching from Palo
Alto Animal Services to a
Santa Clara-based service in order
to save about $150,000 a year on
animal control.
City Council members were
undecided in a study session Tuesday as to whether to renew a contract with the city of Palo Alto’s
police department for animal con-

Valley Animal Control Authority
would mean more animal services
at less cost, though residents would
pay slightly more for services and
the shelter is located a few miles
further away than Palo Alto’s, about
8.5 miles from City Hall.
An example of SVACA’s increased
services is that officers would be
able to respond to Mountain View
12 hours a day, Monday through
Friday, compared to Palo Alto’s
nine hours a day. SVACA has a
new facility, while Palo Alto’s 1970s
building needs costly upgrades,
which have been put on hold since
Sunnyvale canceled its contract
with PAAS several years ago.
A SVACA contract would also
free up a Mountain View community services officer who investigates an average of 35 animal
cases a year.

store. It was announced Tuesday
that Rite Aid is no longer part of the
project.
In the last 40 minutes of the
four-hour discussion, at around 11
p.m., council members gave some
feedback on the project, adjusting building locations and street
frontages, moving driveways and
increasing park and sidewalk space,
but not making the fundamental
changes to the design that a number
of residents suggested.

to give final approval of a

Council members said they
weren’t interested in approving the

Should downtown food trucks
face stricter regulations to be
more fair to restaurants?
Are you past due for your check-up and cleaning?

the restaurants. But I think that
the trucks go to different towns,
so I don’t see how they can go
with all the regulations of all the
different towns.”

“I think it can be kind of harmful to
those businesses that are downtown
that sell similar products, because
these people don’t have to pay much
in the way of rent. However, I’m
not against that type of business, as

NICK GONZALES
Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, gave a wide-ranging talk at the Computer History Museum April 25.
The ‘Idea Man’ comes to town
By Nick Veronin
S
pace enthusiasts, computer
engineers, software designers, neurologists, astronomers, cancer survivors and aspiring entrepreneurs all had good
reason to fork out $32 to attend
Monday night’s event at the Computer History Museum.
The conversation between
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen
and award-winning journalist
Jose Antonio Vargas was the latest installment of the museum’s
“Revolutionaries” series, which
is meant to accompany the new
exhibit, Revolution: The First
2000 Years of Computing. The
conversation was co-sponsored
by Kepler’s, the independent
bookstore in Menlo Park.
Allen talked with Vargas in support of his new book, “Idea Man,”
which discusses the good and bad
parts of his life.
“I’ve had some great successes
and some signature failures,”
Allen told Vargas.
Aside from becoming one of
the richest men in the world
through his creation of one of
the most well-known companies
on the planet, Allen is also a
philanthropist. He has contributed significantly to, or founded,
many large-scale projects, such as
SpaceShipOne, which pioneered
the first private flight into outer
space; the Allen Institute for Brain
Science, which has drafted the
first comprehensive gene map of
the human brain; the Allen Telescope Array, which has been used
by the University of California at
Berkeley to scour the cosmos for
signs of intelligent life; and the
Experience Music Project, a critically acclaimed music museum
in Seattle. He is also a survivor of
lymphoma.
Jonathan Devor, an astronomy
hobbyist from Santa Clara, said he
admires Allen’s work on the telescope array. “If he’s got something
to say, I want to hear it,” Devor
said. “He is a fascinating person.”
The conversation began with a
discussion of Allen’s early life and
friendship with Bill Gates — a
friendship that ultimately turned
sour after Allen left Microsoft.
“In retrospect, how lucky was I to
have a partner as capable as Bill

SETI puts search for sentient life on hold
By Nick Veronin
T
he Mountain View-based
SETI Institute announced
April 22 that it is powering
down its array of antennae used to
comb the cosmos for hints of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Jill Tartar, director of the Search
for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence
Institute, said that cuts on the federal and state level, coupled with
the recession, have resulted in a
dearth of funding at the University
of California, Berkeley, which runs
the antennae array for SETI.
According to Tartar, U.C. Berkeley recently informed SETI that
it cannot afford to operate the
Allen Telescope Array — SETI’s
field of large and small satellitedish-shaped antennae in Northern
California, which is used to monitor space for transmissions, in the
hopes of finding a signal that may
have been broadcast intentionally
or inadvertently by sentient beings
elsewhere in the universe.
The university will put array,
located at the Hat Creek Radio
Observatory between Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta, into “hibernation,” meaning that no signals
will be collected for SETI research.
“A perfect storm” of cuts led to
the U.C. Berkeley decision, Tartar
said. There was the federal government’s inability to pass a budget, for
one — “It’s hard to start new proj-
ity code inspectors gave a
tour through some of the
worst code violations in
Mountain View, including storage
lockers being used as homes and
an apartment complex where trash
was dumped in a swimming pool,
at a presentation last week to the
City Council.
The presentation comes as the
council considers various ways to
cut the city budget in the long term.
One second-tier budget cut proposed would lay off one of the city’s
two code inspectors, Kelli Casale
and Chris Costanzo
Costanzo and Casale, who took
turns making the presentation, said
that about 75 percent of their work
has to do with illegal dumping,
front yard storage, vehicles parked
on private property and sign violations. As a wave of foreclosures hit
the country, Casale and Costanzo
say they began to find large piles of
garbage and unwanted furniture
on the street outside of foreclosed
homes. They’ve also begun to see
more “hoarders,” people who can’t
stop collecting things, filling their
hallways with objects that could
either catch fire or block an exit.
Storage unit living
One of the more troubling cases
was the discovery of a 74-year-old
woman living in a storage locker at
Public Storage on Old Middlefield
Way. There were reports from
police, confirmed by managers,
about as many as five others living
in the storage lockers, including one
other woman who left before code
inspectors arrived.
The elderly woman was last seen
loading her things into a U-Haul
truck heading for an unknown
ects on a continuing resolution,”
she said. Additionally, cuts from
the National Science Foundation,
which reduced its University Radio
Observatory funding to Berkeley,
forced the university to cut its staff
at Hat Creek by about 90 percent.
California’s budget woes also
loomed large, as public universities across the state are feeling the
impact of an estimated $25.4 billion
budget shortfall. And complicating
matters further, the recession has
made it difficult to raise private
money, Tartar said.
Still, Tartar said, SETI is doing all
location, Casale said in a phone
interview after the meeting. She
had been sleeping on a recliner,
which was so tightly packed into the
small storage locker with her other
possessions it didn’t fully recline,
Costanzo said. She declined help
from the Community Services
Agency, Casale said.
City Attorney Jannie Quinn said
the company’s regional managers
were unaware the storage units
were being used for housing, which
is prohibited by the city’s housing
code.
Casale and Costanzo say they
each have 35 to 50 open code violation cases at any given time, requiring multiple site visits to resolve.
That’s reasonable for ensuring the
legality and safety of the city’s 14,566
housing units, 24 hotels and motels
and numerous other properties.
They receive 75 to 80 complaints a
year about code violations.
Costanzo called it an “adversarial” and “confrontational” job.
Business owners are often unhappy
about having to move a temporary
sign off a sidewalk that could be
bringing in business, one of the more
common complaints. Costanzo said
businesses have requested the ability
to receive temporary permits for
such signs.
Casale presented the case of a
Rock Street apartment building
where she was “terrified” to find
a drained pool being used as a
“dumpster and toilet.” There
was a large pile of garbage in
it, including an old mattress.
It turned out that the complex

Allen Telescope Array — named
after Paul Allen, co-founder of
Microsoft — up and running. That
includes seeking major funding
sources as well as accepting private
individual donations on its website,

Tartar said that the work SETI is
doing is highly valuable — even in
trying economic times.

this question for millennia,” she
said. “We have been asking ourSee SETI, page 8

A Sunnyvale woman was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend outside
of a Mountain View restaurant
Friday, April 22, police said. The
man threatened to kill the woman,
28, and took her back to his house
before he ultimately agreed to let
her go.
Mountain View police arrested
28-year-old Servando Reyes at his
home after the victim reported the
kidnapping the next day, Mountain View police spokeswoman Liz
Wylie said.
The incident began at about
10 p.m. Friday night, outside of
the Chaat Paradise restaurant in
Mountain View. The victim, who
was leaving the restaurant where
she worked, had called her brotherin-law and asked him to pick her up,
because, according to Wylie, Reyes
was “not happy” with the breakup
and the woman was fearful that her
ex-boyfriend might confront her at
her job.
Her fears were confirmed as
she was getting into her brotherin-law’s car: Reyes came up to the
vehicle, and her brother-in-law
attempted to speed off, Wylie said.
The car hit a pole, which gave
Reyes an opportunity to open the
car door, throw his ex-girlfriend
over his shoulder and drag her to
his car, even as her brother-in-law
attempted to physically stop Reyes
– at one point punching him in the
face.
Reyes drove around “aimlessly”
for about 45-minutes, Wylie said —
“sometimes at a high rate of speed”
and threatened to crash the car and
kill himself along with his former
girlfriend. Then Reyes drove back
to his house with the victim.
Meanwhile, the brother-in-law
called his wife, the victim’s sister,

complaints about food trucks,
including one from a restaurant
about a truck that regularly parks
on Ortega Avenue. “He’s taking my
business away and doesn’t pay any
rent,” was how Mayor Jac Siegel
described that complaint.
Recently a food truck set up a tent
and a grill for several days in the
parking lot of Clyde’s Liquors on
El Camino Real, spurring Quinn
to begin a study of revisions to the
city’s 1958 “mobile canteen” ordinance this summer.
“At what point does it become a

It turns out that the temporary
signs used by real estate agents
who drove to Reyes’ house, Wylie
said. There, after a heated discussion with the victim’s sister as well
as members of his own family — all
of whom implored Reyes to let his
ex-girlfriend go — he relented and
the victim left with her sister.
The incident was not reported
until 10:22 p.m. on Saturday.
“Domestic violence is something
that is often times under-reported
for various reasons,” Wylie said.
Fear of retribution often plays a
heavy role in the under reporting
of such incidents, Wylie said.
The victim decided to report the
incident after Reyes went to her
work the next day and waited for
her to arrive. Reyes asked to talk to
her, but she refused and a coworker
convinced him to leave.
“It is important that these things
get reported because this could
have ended very poorly for the
victim,” Wylie said. “We can help
people and we can help put people
in contact with resources that can
help get them out of these types of
situations.”
Police found Reyes at his home
with a black eye. He was arrested
without incident and charged with
kidnapping and misdemeanor
domestic violence.

city’s sign ordinance, when not on
private property. Adam Montgomery, government relations director
for the Silicon Valley Association
of Realtors, said Los Altos and
other cities are more lenient and
he urged Mountain View officials
to follow suit.
Council members were not critical of the code enforcement program in their remarks, though
council member John Inks said he
has been a critic of it.
“Just the fact that people know we
have code enforcement keeps them
following the law,” Siegel said.
“It does hold the city together,”
said council member Laura Macias.
“Of course you are going to get one
or two unsatisfied customers.”
Vocal critic Don Letcher, perhaps
the most unsatisfied customer of
all, called the program “abusive.”
Letcher has been engaged in a
multi-year battle with the city over
the fate of his rental property.

SVACA officials said the goal would
be to have a truck dedicated to

“El Camino Real can be a perfectly pleasant place,” Bryant said,

Several council members supported an opportunity to implement the “Grand Boulevard” vision

Wylie said there were police officers in the vicinity who were able
to respond quickly. The victim’s
mother, who heard her daughter’s
screams, followed Camacho as he
walked down Crisanto and pointed
him out to police who arrested him
near the skate park in Rengstorff
Park.
Camacho was charged with indecent exposure and assault with
attempt to rape — the second
charge stemming from his action
of aggressively following the victim,
Wylie explained.
This incident is uncommon as
far as indecent exposure cases go,
Wylie said. Often, the perpetrator
wishes to expose himself and that
is all. “The vast majority of those
people don’t progress to the next
step,” she said.
“This is an isolated incident,”
Wylie said, but noted that police are
investigating to see if any other similar events have occurred recently
in the area. “We always tell people
if something like that happens, the
best thing to do is walk away from
the person and call 911 right away
or seek assistance from someone.”

dog for three years, compared to
$35 now charged by Palo Alto.
Some services would be cheaper;
SVACA would charge only $75 to
spay or neuter a dog while Palo Alto
charges between $100 and $215.
Mountain View police commander Max Bosel said SVACA “is
not a lesser qualified provider in
terms of services” when compared
to Palo Alto Animal Services.
Council member Margaret AbeKoga noted another selling point: a
Mountain View city official would
have a seat on SVACA’s governing
board at regular meetings, whereas
Palo Alto, which also serve Los
Altos and Los Altos Hills, only
meets with partnering cities on an
as-needed basis.
Council member Laura Macias
appeared to be the staunchest
defender of the Palo Alto animal
services contract, saying that the
city’s analysis has not taken into
enough consideration the needs of
the city’s pet owners who would
appreciate the proximity of the
Palo Alto shelter. She and other
council members said they would
like to discuss potential cost saving with Palo Alto before deciding
to pull the city’s dollars away

would have a major financial
impact on Palo Alto Animal Services, Bosel said.

below market rate units in the
Minton’s redevelopment through
the use of a development agreement.
In return for the 10 below-market-rate apartments offered, the
developer requested that the city
reimburse 100 percent of the value
of the one-acre public park in the
project, rather than the typical 50
percent. That could lower the $5.5
million park in-lieu fee that would
otherwise be required.
The one-acre park, dubbed “San
Antonio Green,” would bisect the
property into northern and southern halves. The developer claims
there is space in the park for a farmers market, a dog park, bike paths
and a bocce ball court.
Abe-Koga and others questioned
the need for a one-way driveway

BENEFITS CLOSER TO WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE
HOSPITAL BOARD IMPOSED CONTRACT
By Nick Veronin
A
fter returning to the bargaining table with the
nurses’ union, El Camino
Hospital has partially reinstated
one of the benefits that had initially been eliminated in the “last,
best and final offer” contract the
board of directors unilaterally
passed in November.
The reinstated benefit allows
nurses to once again earn paid
time off — or PTO — when
taking time off. The contract
passed in November made it
so nurses would no longer earn
PTO on their days off.
“That was the biggest complaint that the nurses had about
the imposed contract,” said Pat
Briggs, president of the union,
Professional Resource for Nurses,
known as PRN. Starting in July,
the PTO structure will return
to the way it had been before
November — almost.
“It will not be completely back
to the way it was before,” Briggs
said. According to her, nurses
used to earn paid time off when
they were going to continuing
education classes — a requirement — and during extended
leaves of absence. In the newly
revised contract nurses will not
earn PTO in those instances.
They will, however, earn PTO
when on vacation and regular
sick leave.
The board imposed El Camino Hospital’s “last, best and
final” offer on Nov. 10, after
lengthy negotiations with the
nurses’ union. The contract
may wish to move from Showers
Drive into the northern portion
of the site, where there would otherwise be space for three, 40,000
square foot retailer stores above a
street-level parking garage.
There was intense discussion
about how to direct pedestrians
through the Safeway parking lot,
which had the developer defending a sidewalk-free design in the
name of pedestrian safety, while
some council members said there
was room to remove a few parking spots to allow for pedestrians
to comfortably walk through.
Abe-Koga and others noted that
the project already had more
parking than the city requires.
The Safeway would also have
rooftop parking.
The manager of Safeway on
California Street said their land
lease ends in 2016, and the store
was uniformly opposed by
PRN and was called “unfair,
unnecessary” and disrespectful by one of the nurses who
addressed the board at November’s public board meeting.
The board narrowly approved
the contract in a split 3-2 vote.
Administrators who spoke at
the meeting in favor of passing
the contract cited tough economic times.
But Briggs said that in fighting for this benefit, the nurses
were not asking for an unreasonable perk.
“It is the standard in employment that you earn vacation time
when you take vacation time,”
she said. “We were below the
standard. So, it really put us out
of competition with the other
hospitals in the area, and that put
us at a grave disadvantage.”
Charlene Gliniecki, vice president of human resources for El
Camino, agreed with Briggs,
noting in an e-mail that the hospital reconsidered its stance on
nurse PTO in order to keep the
hospital competitive with other
hospitals in the area.
“The hospital values the contribution nurses make to patient
care and the relationship built
over 10 years of negotiations
based on our mutual interests,”
Gliniecki wrote in the e-mail.
When asked whether the
change to the contract would
be enough to repair the relationship between the El Camino administration and nurses,
Briggs replied: “It’s a small
step. That’s all I’d say.”
V
is counting on the new location.
Resident Doug Delong said it
made more sense, traffic-wise,
for Safeway to move to the California Street side of the shopping
center, and said there was no
good reason to have Safeway in
the project, it just happened to
be a place where a piece of real
estate became available. Several
union representatives and Safeway employees were there to
defend the 200 “good jobs” slated
for the new Safeway, an increase
from the current 120 jobs at the
California Avenue store.
Merlone Geier said the new
development would employ 900
people, and provide a “net
increase” to the city’s sales tax
revenue of $1.2 million. All of
those employees would receive
subsidized transit passes for three
years from Merlone Geier.

Students sow seeds of green
CONSERVATIONIST IDEALS, PLANTED IN THE CLASSROOM, BLOOM AT HOME
By Nick Veronin
A
local elementary school
club is aiming to increase
environmental awareness
both at school and at home with
a program that gives students the
opportunity to swap eco-conscious
deeds for prizes.
If all goes according to plan,
the program, which kicked off
late last week, will get both children and their parents thinking
green, and instill a sense of
stewardship in the Theuerkauf
Elemenatry community.
On April 19, shrieks of joy filled
the air during the mid-day recess
at Theuerkauf. Children swung,
hopped, bounced balls and darted
about the sprawling playground.
The entire school was engrossed in
play — except for the small group
of students gathered in Room 15.
It wasn’t detention or study
hall. It was the weekly meeting of
the Green Team, led by volunteer
Theuerkauf mom Sharon Gloster.
Every Tuesday, nine fifth-graders
willingly give up their lunch
recess to learn about conservation and think up ways to get
their fellow students, as well as
Theuerkauf parents, to adopt
more eco-friendly practices.
On this day, Gloster, along with
fifth-grade teacher and Green Team
co-chair Lynn Moorehead, were
making plans for a special assembly
to be held April 21, the day before
Earth Day. The students were going
over their role in the upcoming
assembly and eating lunch.
Juan Arias, one of the Green
Team fifth-graders, said he often
reminds his friends to recycle and
reuse what they can. Teaching his
friends how to conserve, he said,
makes him feel “good and warm
inside.”
“I wanted to help the school
recycle and use less waste,” said
Sami Jones, another Green Team
member. “I think that we need to
get more people to start helping the
earth and caring more.”
These are exactly the types of sentiments Gloster wants to nurture in
the Green Team. She hopes these
children will spread their ideals to
friends and family, she said.
“Reading, writing, bike riding,
swimming and taking care of the
Earth,” Gloster said, lumping the
conservationist ethos in with the
other basic lessons of childhood.
“If you get yourself programmed
early on, you just don’t think twice
about it. We want their habits to
be oriented toward saving and
conserving right off the bat. This is
their Earth.”
At the April 21 assembly, students of every grade at Theuerkauf
gathered to watch teachers dressed
as polar bears act in a skit intended
to show how climate change is
disrupting the habitat of animals
living in the Arctic. The students
were also given yellow booklets
filled with “Cool the Earth Action
Coupons” that can be cashed in for
rewards if they are brought back to
school signed by a parent.
Each coupon represents the
completion of a green task, like
biking to school instead of driving,
waiting until the dishwasher is full
before running it, taking shorter
showers and packing lunches with
reusable containers.
Students win trading cards
emblazoned with green-themed
characters and occasionally a card
that can be redeemed for a bigger
prize. “The goal is to collect them
all,” Gloster said. Every coupon gets
STANFORD STROKE CENTER
Committed to the highest standards of stroke care
Providing multidisciplinary stroke care for 19 years, the Stanford Stroke Center has led the way in establishing
community standards of care. Stanford is consistently recognized as a leader in stroke treatment and research,
entered into the lottery drawing for
the grand prize.
Because the tasks on the coupons
often require a parent’s supervision
— elementary-aged students aren’t
generally in charge of running the
washing machine or adjusting the
thermostat, Gloster observed —
parents inevitably get drawn in to
the conservation game.
“That’s the good thing about the
coupons — it forces the families
and the parents to get involved with
the campaign,” she said. “Really,
kids can only do so much.”
The coupon booklets, along with
the trading cards and other prizes
— even the script for the play
and the polar bear costumes that
the teachers wore at the assembly
— were all provided for free by
Cool the Earth, a Marin-based,
non-profit organization founded
in 2007.
Cool the Earth receives funding
from public agencies, such as the
Environmental Protection Agency
and the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, as well as
from other sustainability oriented
organizations, like the Conservation Corps North Bay and The
Climate Project.
Jenny Jedeikin, director of communications for Cool the Earth,
said about 160 schools — most
of them in the Bay Area — have
implemented their Action Coupons program. In addition to
developing school programming,
Cool the Earth has worked with
Wells Fargo and the Girl Scouts.
“We are inspiring kids and their
families to take actions to decrease
their carbon emissions to combat
climate change,” Jedeikin said.
She seconded Gloster’s observation that children are often the
most effective catalyst of change
in the behavior of parents. “When
kids become inspired to make
changes they are actually a very
behavior-changing mechanism
within a family.”

Taking a long view of human
history, Tartar spoke whimsically
about the potential for SETI to
bring about a fundamental paradigm shift in human consciousness.
“Ultimately, I think SETI is
incredibly important to help people

MOBILE SURGERY
Weighing in at about 40 tons
and measuring 85 feet in length,
a massive big rig parked its
18 wheels behind El Camino
Hospital on April 25. Inside the
1,200-square-foot trailer, there
was a small screening room and
a larger demonstration floor.
Doctors were invited to come
to the “mobile operating truck,”
watch an orientation video and
then move into the next room to
try the Covidien SILS technology hands-on.
The El Camino demonstration is just one of 90 stops the
Covidien Innovation Tour will
be making in cities across the
country, according to Chuck
Flora, regional manager for the
surgical technology company.
Single-incision laparoscopy
had been considered impossible
by many medical professionals
as recently as four years ago, and
many surgeons remain skeptical
about the practicality of operating through one tiny opening.
But, as Flora tells it, the
technique is not only possible,
it is the wave of the future.
Traditional laparoscopy, the
predecessor to single-incision,
required multiple incisions to
be made up and down a patient’s
torso, to allow doctors access to
internal organs from various
angles.
The new technology, however, allows for a much broader
range of motion — all through
a single entry point in a patient’s
belly button. The SILS multiple-
instrument access port, a round
plug that is inserted into the
belly button incision, has three
holes arranged like the grips of
a bowling ball. These allow for
the insertion of the laparoscopy
instruments, which have been
improved, and allow doctors to
move small scissors and grabbers a full 360 degrees around, as
well as up, down and side-to-side
slightly more than 180 degrees.
Both patients and doctors are
fans of the technique, Flora said,
for a variety of reasons.
“The patients like it because
the cosmetic effects are that it
looks like you didn’t have surgery,” Flora said. “We’ve also
heard from surgeons that there is
faster recovery time and perhaps
less pain associated with the procedure.”
Dr. Patricia Rogers, a gynecologist and surgeon practicing at
El Camino, said she was dubious
of the claims made in the invitation she received to the Covidien
truck.
“I couldn’t believe you could
do surgery through one incision,” Rogers said. “The angles
didn’t sound like they would
work.”
After working with the instruments, however, Rogers said she
is convinced. She is planning on
making some time to train with
the technology and may start
performing SILS procedures
herself.
Rogers agreed with Flora that
patients usually prefer fewer
incisions, as it means fewer
scars. “But what people have to
remember is that they have just
had a big organ removed,” and
just because things look good on
the outside, doesn’t necessarily
mean they can jump right off
the operating table and go on a
10-mile hike.
She added, that while doctors generally want to please
their patients, laparoscopy “has
a pretty steep learning curve.
Nobody likes a steep learning
curve.”
If Rogers had her druthers, she
said all surgeries would be wideopen surgeries, where visibility is
better and the chance of error is
lower.
However, Dr. Homero Rivas,
assistant professor of minimally

to adopt the technique can be
tricky.

PAUL ALLEN
Gates?” he asked rhetorically.
Vargas then asked Allen about
some of his ventures and his
thoughts on the future of technology.
Tablet computers will be big,
Allen said, noting that catching
up to Apple’s iPad is not impossible, but that it will be difficult. He
also said that artificial intelligence
technology is poised to grow in
ways that are hard to imagine at the
moment.
When asked about his thoughts
on mortality and fight with cancer,
Allen replied: “I consider myself
very lucky.”
After the talk, Allen fans lined up
to get copies of his book signed.
Ray Ewan, a 48-year-old from
San Francisco, said that Allen was
an inspiration for him as a child.
“He was just following his passion
and he ended up creating something great,” Ewan said of Allen.
Lenny Khazan, a 12-year-old,
waited with his sister for Allen’s
signature. “I’m very interested in
computers and technology,” Lenny
said. “I find it fascinating.”
It is an attitude Allen surely would
appreciate. During his conversation
with Vargas, a Mountain View
High school alum and former Voice
intern, one of the moments that got
the biggest laugh from the audience
was when Allen recalled: “Bill and I
would literally dive in dumpsters
for sheets of code” that had been
thrown out by computer labs. He
had one word for the way he viewed
that code back then: “Beautiful.”

he worst-case scenario is unfolding now for those who
want to preserve Hangar One.
Last week, a U.S. Navy contractor began to remove the
toxic siding or “skin” of the 200-foot tall hangar in a project
that will last into the new year. When complete, it will leave the
Hangar’s massive and well-preserved skeleton exposed to the
elements, at least until money is found to install new siding, a
job that could cost up to $32.8 million based on what President
Obama put in NASA’s budget for next year.
But it is not clear that Congress will approve any Hangar One
funding for next year, given the budget-cutting battles being
waged between the president and the Republican majority in
the U.S. House of Representatives. If allowed to go uncovered, it
would be a sad end to this noble structure, which serves as a landmark for Moffett Field and is visible for miles in any direction.
Preservationists have long worried about leaving the hangar’s
skeleton exposed for an extended period. Bill Wissel, of the Moffett Field Historical Society, told the Voice last week:
“Without the protective siding, the structure will be exposed
to the elements and will begin to deteriorate pretty quickly,”
bringing up the issues of visual blight and safety concerns. He
fears that it would not be long before “public opinion shifts
NLETTERS
VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY
COMBINING TRAINS
IS A BAD IDEA
The plan advanced by Rep. Anna
Eshoo, state Sen. Joe Simitian and
Assemblyman Rich Gordon to run
high-speed rail trains from San Jose
to San Francisco on Caltrain tracks
is woefully misguided. It is fatally
flawed due to severe safety, operational, and engineering problems.
If, in their words, they really
want high-speed rail “to be able to
connect and interface in a seamless
fashion with local transit systems,”
then there is only one solution, and
it is not theirs.
There must be no high-speed rail
trains on Caltrain tracks because
they are dangerously incompatible
with present trains and at-grade
road crossings. High-speed rail
should, at best, end in San Jose and
its passengers transfer to existing
Caltrain Baby Bullet trains for trips
up and down the Peninsula. Why?
That is why Caltrain built the baby
bullets — for fast transportation
from San Jose to San Francisco
within the safe speed limits of Caltrain tracks. Now that is seamless
— and safe.
This obvious solution would
preserve the safe rail and automobile transport status quos on the
Peninsula and also obviate the need
for crazy and destructive decisions,
such as closing Castro Street and
other vital at-grade Peninsula Caltrain crossings. For seamless integration and safety and cost control,
it’s a no-brainer.
William R. Hitchens
Sunnyview Lane
HIGH-SPEED TRAINS NOT
SUITED FOR CALTRAIN
CORRIDOR
The high-speed rail proposal by
Rep. Anna Eshoo, state Sen. Joe
Simitian, and Assemblyman Rich
Gordon is narrowly directed at
avoiding lawsuits from the city of
Palo Alto and wealthy Atherton
residents, and fails to address the
fundamental problem with the
current high speed rail design.
The fundamental problem is
that the current Southern Pacific
right-of-way going straight through
the downtowns of all the small midPeninsula cities is not well suited to
the way the major transportation
corridors have developed since it
was originally established in the
mid-1800s.
Building a high-speed rail line
there, or even simply upgrading
Caltrain within the current rightof-way, will not address the prob-
and there will be an outcry for complete demolition. That’s the
‘demolition by neglect’ concern that everybody has been voicing
for the past few years.”
Indeed, anyone concerned about saving Hangar One has seen
it ‘die by a thousand cuts’ in recent years. Most buildings inside
the hangar have been destroyed, while the historically significant
“cork room,” which was used to store the USS Macon’s fragile
helium cells back in the 1930s, has been only partially preserved.
One recent concession stands out: The Navy announced in
March that it was working with NASA to keep the hangar’s
unique wire-reinforced corrugated windows in place while
the siding is removed. The deal is not final, but it is hoped the
Navy can work around the windows, which were designed to
withstand the explosion of a 1930s airship filled with hydrogen.
In better economic times it would be difficult, but not
impossible, for the local Congressional delegation to find federal funding to preserve this historic hangar. Today, we’re not
so sure. But we hope that somehow, whether through a major
government grant or a generous gift from a local corporation
or philanthropist, funds will materialize to prevent this iconic
structure from wasting away. It is far too important to meet
such an ignoble fate.
lems of impact on the cities’ downtowns, lack of integration with
other transportation modes, and
lack of space for a mid-Peninsula
station of the magnitude needed for
the high-speed rail line. The basic
design needs to be revisited from
the start.
An alternate design, such as along
the Highway 101 corridor, would
result in a better integrated system
with much better services. Building
on an elevated viaduct over parts of
the freeway — the cheapest option
and the one most favored by the
California High Speed Rail Authority — would raise fewer issues than
along the current route.
Integration with air hubs at San
Francisco and San Jose airports
would be much easier, and a large,
multi-service mid-Peninsula station could be built at Moffett Field,
where there is plenty of land adja-
cent to 101, and parking, traffic, and
integration with light rail would be
much less of an issue than in a midPeninsula city downtown.
Maintaining the current rightof-way merely avoids the land
acquisition problem rather than
solving it, since even if the rail line
is kept to the current right-of-way,
additional land will be needed for a
mid-Peninsula station, to say nothing of the impact of a viaduct or
grade-separated line on the downtowns of the mid-Peninsula cities.
Rather than accepting this weak
compromise, the mid-Peninsula
cities should insist that the California High Speed Rail Authority
return to the basic requirements,
and design a system that fits the
Peninsula as it is today, rather than
as it was in the mid-1800s.

GINSENG BBQ & TOFU OFFERS DINNER AND A
SHOW FOR DINERS WHO LIKE TO PLAY CHEF
By Ruth Schechter

Beef bi bim bob at Ginseng BBQ & Tofu is sizzling purple rice topped with vegetables and meat and
crowned with an egg.
or those of you who still
like to play with your food,
I have a socially acceptable
suggestion: Go Korean.
Ginseng BBQ & Tofu allows you
to cook your own food on a gas
grill fitted right into the table. It’s
all very civilized — a server brings
you your platter of marinated
meat, chicken or pork, and you
and your party can take it from
there.
Of course, there are several
selections in which the kitchen
does the preparation. But there’s
something about cooking over
a hot grill that makes food taste
better, and the whole process is
pretty entertaining.
Ginseng has a modern vibe:
Walls are colored cinnabar and
mustard, and the high ceilings
are networked with oversized
industrial stainless steel vents.
Centered in each table are two
stainless grill covers (the circular
one is no longer used as the menu
has changed since the restaurant
opened in 2008).
While the dinner menu is not
especially long, there is a good
variety of different cuts of meat to
sample, from pork belly to short
ribs and brisket. After you place
your order the server uncovers
the grill and turns up the heat.
Within minutes, the meat is
ready to sizzle. That means that

heaping platter of beef bulgogi

gets prepared just the way you
like it — unless you get distracted
from your duties and forget to
move things around with your
chopsticks. Generally your meal
stays fresh and literally hot off the
grill.
Bulgogi is thinly sliced meat
marinated in a mix of soy sauce,
sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chili,
sugar and green onions. While
the big appeal at Ginseng is the
hands-on approach to dinner,
most dishes can also be prepared
and brought out bubbling on a
cast-iron skillet.
For variety, we ordered the pork
golgogi ($12) from the kitchen
and enjoyed the simple, spicy
preparation almost as much as
our own efforts. The tofu soup
($10) was a generous cauldron
of flavorful broth still actively
boiling and loaded with chunks
of silken tofu and mushrooms.
Be warned about spice levels: We
were relieved we settled for mild
heat since even the sissy level had
a lot of zing.
Be sure to try the seafood pajun

studded with scallions, shrimp
and vegetables. Served on a bamboo steamer, it was crisp on the

NMOVIEREVIEWS
AFRICAN CATS --1/2
(Century 16, Century 20) “African Cats”
unfolds on the Masai Mara National Reserve
in Kenya, where the filmmakers seemingly trailed a pride of lions and a coalition of
cheetahs. The story focuses on lion cub Layla
getting steadily schooled in “the circle of life”
(by film’s end, new cubs have arrived), cheetah
“single mother” Sita raising a litter of five, and
savanna “king” Fang ruling the pride with
tough but regal authority. Kids would doubtlessly learn more watching basic cable, but the
spectacle is what it is, and the big screen adds
majesty to it, enhanced by IMAX-style helicopter shots and bigger-than-life slo-mo of “the
fastest creature on land — a cheetah.” Rated
G. One hour, 29 minutes. — P.C.
ARTHUR -1/2
(Century 20) Russell Brand assumes the
role of booze-guzzling playboy Arthur Bach,
heir to a seemingly endless fortune. Even
Arthur’s lifelong nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), can’t coax maturity out of the reckless
lush. Arthur’s mother (Geraldine James)
threatens to cut him off unless he agrees
to marry Susan Johnson (Jennifer Garner),
the power-hungry daughter of a developer
(Nick Nolte). Arthur reluctantly goes along
with his mother’s wishes but secondguesses himself when he falls for aspiring
writer Naomi (Greta Gerwig). What’s an
alcoholic spendthrift to do? And, more
importantly, do you care? Rated PG-13 for
some drug references, sexual content,
alcohol use throughout and language. 1
hour, 45 minutes. — T.H.
RIO --
(Century 16, Century 20) “Rio” starts in the
Brazilian rainforest, where baby Blu gets shanghaied by pet-trading smugglers. The blue macaw
grows up as the pet of Minnesotan bookstore
owner Linda (Leslie Mann), who — like Blu
(Jesse Eisenberg) — lives comfortably off the
social radar. That all changes with the arrival
of Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), a Rio-based bird
scientist who has traveled across the globe to
ask Linda to bring Blu home to mate with the
last female of their kind: If Linda doesn’t agree,
Blu’s particular species will go extinct. A nervous
Blu must shake a tailfeather on a blind date with
restless parrot Jewel (Anne Hathaway). Human
smugglers again intervene, with white cockatoo
Nigel (Jemaine Clement) doing their dirty work.
Attracted opposites Blu and Jewel gradually
learn to see eye to eye over the course of their
vertiginous adventures. Rated G for mild offcolor humor. One hour, 36 minutes. — P.C.
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS
---
(Century 16, Century 20). Told in a flashback,
Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is a young Cornell
veterinary science student. After receiving
tragic news, he hops aboard a train in the
darkness of the night and awakens to the
world of the struggling Benzini Brothers traveling circus. The spectacle dazzles him, but he
soon learns about the tawdry reality behind
the sequined illusion and enters a forbidden
love affair with the cruel ringmaster’s wife
Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Rated: PG-13
for moments of intense violence and sexual
content. 2 hours. — S.T.

The best negotiating, the best insight on market values, the best service, the
best representation, and the best marketing. So as part of my comprehensive
marketing plan for my clients, I use the Mountain View Voice. The Voice gives
my listings the exposure they need and the best open house results. Their staff are
top notch professionals, flexible, and creative which allows me to prepare and
present my client’s property in a professional manner that is result driven.
Additionally, I rely on The Voice as a primary player in my own marketing, with
their team always willing to help create the right ad for the right occasion. Whether
you want to promote a listing or increase your own market presence, you can’t go
wrong with the Mountain View Voice, and for wide range coverage running ads
in conjunction with their other papers is a sure fire way to get maximum exposure
in multiple areas!
