FACING CLOSURE, SHORELINE RESTAURANT
OWNERS NEGOTIATE WITH GOOGLE
By Daniel DeBolt
A
group of restaurant owners north of Highway 101
say they have been watching their customers disappear
as Google expands in the area,
bringing them to the brink of
closure unless Google is willing
to pay for its employees to eat
off-campus.
In Mountain View, over
10,000 Google employees are
now fed in private cafeterias
serving organic food throughout the North Bayshore area
north of Highway 101, like the
one that recently opened at
1015 Joaquin Road, around the
corner from the restaurants.

had all been listed in good condition when they were admitted
on Saturday, he said.
The vast majority of patients
came by ambulance, although
some were flown in by U.S.
Coast Guard helicopter, said
Dr. David Spain, director of the
hospital’s trauma center.
The injuries ranged from
internal bleeding to numerous fractures, including several
spinal fractures and blunt force
injuries, Spain said.
Stanford is one of nine Bay
Area hospitals to receive patients
from the crash, which killed two
and injured 182 others. The two
killed were 16-year-old Chinese
girls, the airline has confirmed.
The San Mateo County Coroner’s office is investigating the
cause of death, including the
possibility that one of the victims was struck and killed by a
first responder’s vehicle.
The teenagers have been identified as Ye Meng Yuan and
Wang Lin Jia, according to a
statement from Asiana Airlines.
Both were students and Chinese
nationals, according to airline
officials.

School algebra teacher Jennifer
Lewis discusses how to figure out
the common denominator of a
fraction.
This is the Stepping up to Algebra summer camp — a program
designed to help students who
have fallen behind get back on
track and to ensure that those
middle-schoolers who have been
keeping up with their studies hit
the ground running in the coming year.
“The purpose of the program
is to prepare students for algebra
who otherwise may not have
been on that algebra track,” says
Craig Goldman, superintendent
of the Mountain View Whisman
School District.
Organized by the Silicon Valley Educational Foundation, the
Stepping up to Algebra program
is in its sixth summer across
Santa Clara County. This is the
first year the program has been
implemented in the Mountain
View Whisman School District,
Goldman says, and it’s been
going well.
“The kids seem very interested
and engaged,” Goldman says
after the kids break for recess. He
explains that the children took a
test, at the beginning of the program to gauge their understand-

resentatives said the company
offers its “deepest apologies and

Dr. Eric Weiss, Stanford’s
director of emergency medicine,
said that the hospital activated
its emergency management plan
immediately after being notified of the crash and within 30
minutes was able to mobilize
more than 150 health care staff
including doctors, nurses and
other support staff.
In particular, the hospital

be a test at the end of the week to
see how much the children have
learned. “We’re looking forward
to seeing the final assessment
results. Based on what we’ve seen
so far, we expect that the results
will be favorable.”
It’s easy to see why his hopes
are high. Even though it is the
final week of the program, and
even though several other summer camp programs are going
on around the Monta Loma
campus, all the children are

SUMMER PROOF?
A man spit in the face of a woman while she waited in the
drive-through line of a local McDonald’s on July 6, according
to a police report.
The man, who was not caught, apparently believed the
woman had intentionally cut him off on the freeway moments
before the incident, said Sgt. Sean Thompson, public information officer for the Mountain View Police Department.
According to the police report, the woman was in the drivethrough of the McDonald’s at 1060 N. Rengstorff Ave. at about
11 p.m., when a man came up to her car, yelled at her and then
spit in her face before running off.
Thompson said the woman, a 37-year-old from Mountain
View, told police she recognized the man as the driver of
a red Corvette she had seen just minutes before while she
was driving on Highway 101. She told police it seemed that
the man in the Corvette had attempted to speed up and get
in front of her, but hadn’t succeeded in doing so before she
exited the freeway to go to McDonald’s. She said the Corvette
followed her for a time after she got off the freeway, but she
didn’t think much of it — until the man showed up at her
driver’s-side window.
Before the man spat in her face, the woman told police he was
yelling about her cutting him off and calling her names.
Thompson said police are working with the management of
the McDonald’s to see if they can get any security footage that
might aid the investigation.

A warped window appears to have been all a burglar needed
to get into a home in the 100 block of Mercy Street, according
to police.
On July 7, at about 1:15 p.m., the 50-year-old resident of a
home in the area returned to his house to find that electronics,
cash and jewelry had been stolen, said Sgt. Sean Thompson,
public information officer for the Mountain View Police
Department
According to the police report, the man secured all his
doors and windows before leaving his house at 10:45 a.m. that
morning. However, a window in one of the rooms was warped,
Thompson said, and as a result, would not close and lock. “It
appears that’s how they got in,” Thompson said.
Reported stolen was an iPod Touch, a gold ring and about
$300 in cash from the home, Thompson said. The suspect
appears to have exited through a side door to the garage.

LOCAL AIR FORCE VETERAN GETS LONG-OVERDUE RECOGNITION
By Nick Veronin
A
n Air Force veteran
and longtime Mountain View resident is
finally getting recognized for
saving the lives of a father and
his three sons from rapidly
rising waters and 115-mph
winds during a hurricane in
Puerto Rico.
Juan C. Aranda Jr. is set
to be awarded the Air Force
Commendation Medal for
his actions nearly 57 years
ago at a ceremony at Moffett
Field on July 15.
Mary Alice Reid, a neighbor and 15-year friend of the
78-year-old, said she isn’t surprised — even though she only
learned of Aranda’s tale recently. “He is a very modest man,”
she explained on a recent sunny
day, sitting in front of Aranda’s
home on Farley Street.
The fateful day
Back in August of 1956,
Aranda, then a radio operator
for the Air Force, was stationed
in his native Puerto Rico. Hurricane Santa Clara was bearing
down on the island and the
young airman was growing
increasingly worried about his
family. When he heard a broadcast over the radio report-
ing flooding near his family’s
home, he made a decision that
some might call rash.
Aranda and a fellow airman went AWOL — breaking
curfew and leaving their base
without authorization — to
go check on loved ones in the
nearby town of Aguadilla. As
it turned out, Aranda’s family
was safe, but on the way back
the two men encountered
the father and his three sons
trapped by rising water and
hanging on to a palm tree,
with water rising all around
them.

Protest of Castro Street development
O
n Monday at 6:30 p.m.
a group of residents is
set to assemble to speak
their minds about a redevelopment proposed for Castro Street
and El Camino Real that will displace a slew of local businesses.
A resident living near the
corner, Linda Curtis, said
she and her neighbors were
upset about the proposal,
which would “tower” over the
neighborhood and mean the
end of the Rose Market and
several other family-owned
businesses, including the Sufi
Coffee Shop, Le’s Alterations
and Tanya’s Hair Design, a
popular salon. In place of the
businesses, a 200-unit apartment complex has been proposed.
Curtis says she plans to get on
her “soapbox” in front of the
Rose Market along with anyone
who wants to join her.

With many of Saturday’s Asiana Airlines plane crash victims
being cared for at Stanford Hospital and the Lucile Packard
Children’s Hospital, the Stanford Blood Center has announced
an urgent need for type O-positive, O-negative blood donors and
platelet donors.
Though the blood center has already received an “outpouring” of support from existing donors and the public, it is working to make sure inventory is as strong as it can be, said Dayna
Kerecman Myers, the blood center’s marketing and communications manager. The center serves as both hospitals’ main
blood supplier.
Kerecman added that because the blood center was closed on
July 4 for the holiday, they were already low on O-positive blood.

Mountain View firefighters had the unhappy task of shutting down a damaged fire hydrant on
Google property.
Hit-and-run damages hydrant
A fire hydrant was knocked
over by a hit-and-run driver on
Google property Tuesday, July 9,
creating a temporary fountain
that spurted about 20 feet into the
air until fire crews shut it off.
The incident occurred at about
4:30 p.m. at the Google building
located at 1400 Crittenden Lane,
according to Shino Tanaka,
public safety and community
coordinator with the Mountain
View Police Department. It took
the fire department until about
5:55 p.m. to stop the water gushing from the ground.
Because the incident occurred
on Google property, the search
company’s private security will
be handling the investigation,
Tanaka said. At deadline, no
Google representatives had
returned calls to say if there were
any witnesses to the crash. No
one was reported to have been
injured in the incident.

he pilot flying Asiana
Airlines Flight 214 had
operated a Boeing 777 for
a total of about 35 hours before
the deadly crash at San Francisco
International Airport, according to information relayed to
National Transportation Safety
Board investigators.
The Boeing 777 aircraft
crashed on the runway at San
Francisco International Airport
on Saturday morning, July 6,
killing two people and injuring
dozens of others, San Francisco
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White
said.
The Asiana Airlines flight
from Seoul, Korea was coming
in for a landing when the tail
end of the plane slammed into a
rocky berm or sea wall near the
edge of the San Francisco Bay
and the runway, according to
witness reports. Hayes-White
said the plane originated in
Shanghai, China.
NTSB Chairman Deborah
Hersman said at a news conference in South San Francisco
Tuesday afternoon that interviews with the four pilots had
began Monday and were continuing.
“All of the crew members
have been very cooperative and
forthright,” she said.
In these interviews and other
probes into the crash, investigators are scrutinizing all
aspects of the f light, including
why the plane was going nearly
40 mph below the recommended speed as it descended
The Bay Area’s Premier Summer Festival
July 20-21, 10am-6pm
Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park
toward the runway.
According to preliminary
information Hersman said came
directly from the pilots themselves and has yet to be corroborated with other data, there were
three pilots in the cockpit at the
time of the crash and the fourth
pilot was in the cabin during the
approach into SFO.
The pilot flying the aircraft
was in his initial training period
for this type of plane and was
seated in the left seat next to his
instructor pilot.
A relief first officer was seated
in the jump seat in the cockpit,
while a relief captain was in the
main cabin.
She explained that on the long
trans-Pacific flight the relief
captain and first officer took
over the aircraft in the middle
of the flight.
The pilot and instructor were
at the helm during take-off and
landing, she said, with the third
pilot in the cockpit to monitor
the situation.
The commanding pilot reported he has flown 9,700 hours with
about 5,000 hours as a pilot in
command.
He was in his training period
for a Boeing 777 aircraft and
had completed 35 of the 60
hours required to be considered
proficient on the craft, as set by
Asiana Airlines standards.
The pilot was hired in 1994
and had his initial training in
Florida and is trained on several
other aircrafts.

ous event,” Hersman said. Both
suffered serious injuries.
Hersman said she walked the
entire runway area today and
could see on the seawall where
the landing gear and then the
tail struck the area.
Sections of the cabin were
strewn around the runway and
she could see aircraft parts,
galley mats, newspapers and
magazines among the wreckage.
Hersman said the investigation is at its beginning stages
but that “numerous reports and
accounts about slides deploying
inside the aircraft” have come
in, including from the first
officer who described a trapped
flight attendant underneath a
chute that had inflated.
That’s “certainly not what’s
intended,” she said.
All eight doors and slides
have been removed from the
crash site to be inspected as
part of the crash investigation,
Hersman said.
Another key component under
investigation is whether a San
Francisco emergency vehicle
may have struck and killed one
of two 16-year-old girls who
died in the crash.
The cause of the girl’s death
has not yet been determined by
the San Mateo County coroner’s
bureau.
Hersman said evacuation procedures are being thoroughly
investigated, and more interviews are taking place with
cabin and flight crews and surviving passengers.
She advised that probable
cause of the crash would not
be determined until a complete
investigation is conducted.

including some with minor
injuries who were treated and
released without hospitalization, Kagan said.
Kagan noted that the hospital had converted a pediatric
urgent care center to help deal
with the influx of patients. The
hospital also set up tents outside and brought in additional
staff.
At San Francisco International
Airport, investigators from the
National Transportation Safety
Board were at the airport Sunday, sifting through the wreckage
of plane.
NTSB officials have recovered
the airplane’s flight data recorder
and cockpit recorder and sent the
devices to Washington, D.C., for
analysis.
NTSB Chairwoman Deborah
Hersman said investigators will
be trying to evaluate “the human
side” of the crash — pilot interaction and performance — as
well as conditions at the airport
and the airplane itself.
“We’re going to be looking at
the aircraft and certainly looking
at the airport and doing documentation as far as the airport
and the environment goes,”
Hersman said.
Hersman said that it could be
up to a week before the actual
remains of the aircraft could be
removed from SFO’s airfield.
That runway remains closed.
Many airlines are waiving fees
to reschedule travel for customers whose flights were canceled
or delayed after the crash.
Hundreds of passengers were
diverted to other California airports, including Oakland International Airport and San Jose
International Airport.
Meanwhile, many were left
stranded. All flights in and out of
SFO were canceled in the hours
following the crash.

pilot had flown 13,000 hours
during his career with 3,000
hours in a 777.
This was his first trip as an
instructor pilot and it was the
first time the two had flown
together.
The instructor pilot had been
in the Korean Air Force for 10
years.
The pilot in the jump seat,
who served as relief, had flown
into SFO as many as six times
as a monitoring pilot and had
experience on a 777 aircraft.
The fourth pilot was not in the
cockpit during the landing and
his interview was underway.
Hersman said because the U.S.
does not have oversight responsibility for foreign-licensed
pilots, a requirement to be tested
for drugs and alcohol after an
accident was not implemented.
Other information that the
pilots told investigators included that the pilot in the jump
seat said he could not see the
runway from his seat during
the landing because the nose
was pitched up.
The instructor pilot reported
that the plane was high and he
told the pilot to pull back.
Other crewmembers reported
that after impact the aircraft
ballooned, yawed left and went
into a 360-degree spin.
The first officer was the only
pilot to receive medical treatment once the plane came to
rest. He suffered a cracked rib
in the accident.
But two flight attendants in
the rear of the plane were ejected
in the crash and found on the
side of the runway, Hersman
said.
The two survived but, “obviously had gone through a seri-
that included skilled surgeons,
Weiss said. Spain noted that
while the hospital handled
the influx of patients from the
crash, patients from other incidents were still being admitted
and helped as needed.
Elsewhere in the Bay Area,
San Francisco General Hospital
had received 52 patients from
the Asiana Airlines crash as of
Saturday evening, a hospital
spokeswoman said. The hospital
received four waves of patients
from the crash, including an initial wave of 10 critical patients,
hospital spokeswoman Rachel
Kagan said.
Of those initial 10, two were
children. Kagan said five of
those patients have since been
upgraded to serious condition.
Later waves of patients included a wider mix of conditions,

The agency has also sought and established partnerships with other nonprofit providers, to ensure their
delivery to CSA’s clients. Examples: Women Infants and
Children, Lawmobile, and Rotacare.
F
or fifty years, Community Services Agency (CSA) has been providing vital social
services for residents of Mountain View, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hills. We understand that hardship can come at any time and knows no age limit. We provide a
safety net so that independence and self-sufficiency can be restored and maintained.
An evolving name reflects
an evolving organization
CSA has grown from humble origins. In 1957, a
group of Mountain View residents, concerned about
the welfare of low-income families in the city, gathered
to talk about the plight of the local migrant farm workers. They decided to form the Mountain View Welfare
Council to address the needs of this population. Within
a year, the council was incorporated, and it was planning its first sharing of holiday gifts for families.
By 1967, the interests of the council had expanded
to include housing issues, immigration issues, and the
needs of senior citizens. Accordingly, its name was
changed to the Mountain View Community Council.
With a move into larger, permanent office space in
1974, the organization changed its name once again,
this time to Mountain View Community Services,
reflecting the increasing services provided, such as
meals and counseling.
CSA assumed its present name, Community Services Agency, in 1982, in recognition of a client base
that extends through Los Altos to Los Altos Hills.
A growing repertoire
of programs and services
CSA’s first program in 1958 was a holiday gift
distribution called Christmas Clearance. Later called
Santa Claus Exchange, the program remains today an
important element of CSA’s work, now the Holiday
Sharing program.
1974 was a big year for the agency. Clothing distribution was added to a growing list of Emergency
Assistance services. Also, the agency moved into
larger facilities at 204 Stierlin Road, Mountain View.
Interior painting of the building was performed by
clients and board members, while volunteers from the
Mountain View Police Department handled the move
from the old office space to the new.
CSA Today
Another milestone occurred in 1977, with the initiation of food service to the needy.
CSA’s Emergency Assistance program added crisis
intervention services in 1982 and the Community
Kitchen (food distribution) and financial assistance
services in 1983. The Senior Services program added
transportation in 1983 and case management in 1984.
In 1989, the agency launched a new Homeless Services program designed to lift the homeless up from
their situation to rejoin society. The Alpha Omega
Shelter was the first service offered, in cooperation with
17 local churches.
CSA conducted a capital campaign and dramatically
upgraded its facility in 1990. Among other features, the
building had greater capacity for food service, then
termed the Food Closet.
The Homeless Services program stepped up in 1995
with the creation of Graduate House, a transitional
housing facility managed by Project Match. CSA was a
partner in this facility.
In 1998, CSA fundamentally changed the nature of
its Food and Nutrition program by creating the Food
Pantry (grocery store for the needy) at the Stierlin Road
facility and discontinuing its meals program.
Another fundamental change occurred in 2006,
when CSA discontinued the rotating homeless shelter
in favor of enhanced case management services, pursuing the demonstrated “housing first” model for serving
the homeless. The revised program is now called Alpha
Omega Homeless Services.
Programs Originated or Facilitated by Community
Services Agency
Throughout its history, CSA has been a source for new,
innovative social services within the community. Many
of these services are now administered by other agencies.
A few examples:
s4HEFIRSTDAYCARECENTERIN-OUNTAIN6IEWNOW7HISman Child Care Center.
s-OUNTAIN6IEW#OMMUNITY(EALTH#ENTERNOWMANaged by a community group.
s 4RANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR STUDENTS IN %NGLISH AS A
Second Language (ESL) classes, now operated through
Mountain View-Los Altos Adult Education.
Mature at age 55, CSA now follows a strategy of
first contact for the community’s needy, providing
fundamental services and referring clients to other
agencies for additional services.
Caring for the homeless
CSA’s Alpha Omega Homeless Services provides
case management, direct assistance, and referral services (most importantly housing) to individuals and
families. CSA partners with numerous other county
service providers, assembling a comprehensive package
of assistance to the local homeless population.
Caring for the working poor and unemployed
CSA’s Food and Nutrition Center supplements the
nutrition requirements of needy families with fresh and
staple groceries. Food items are contributed by community supermarkets and by nonprofit organizations
like Second Harvest Food Bank and Hidden Villa.
CSA’s Emergency Assistance program provides a
much needed helping hand to those afflicted with shortterm severe needs. Assistance includes rent, utility payments, short-term shelter, medical purchases, and many
services for children, especially related to school.
Holiday Sharing, providing food to families and fun
toys to kids, is a joyful program that draws together volunteers and clients from throughout the community.
Caring for the elderly
Senior Services is the fastest-growing CSA program, reflecting the growth of the elderly population
in our community. Case managers deliver in-home
assessments, counseling, referrals, and educational
seminars, designed to allow local seniors to remain
safe and independent.
Our Senior Nutrition Program at the Mountain
View Senior Center serves subsidized hot lunches
every weekday, countering the isolation and apathy
that can afflict the elderly.

The result is that most of the
restaurants have lost a majority
of their business over the last
year, owners say.
“When you’ve lost 70 percent
of your business, how long can
you pay rent? Maybe seven to
eight months?” said Bella Awdisho, owner of Cucina Venti,
an Italian restaurant on Pear
Avenue and Shoreline Boulevard. The owner of Falafel and
Kebab, Dervis Yuksel, said he
recently sold his car to pay his
restaurant’s rent, and said he
wasn’t sure how much longer
he’d stay open.
In an attempt to save their
businesses, the restaurants have
been in talks with Google in
recent months to find a solution. Awdisho has been representing the owners of the
restaurants, including Shoreline Park’s lakefront favorite
Michael’s at Shoreline, and
several small eateries near the
Century movie theaters: Sunny
Bowl, Falafel and Kebab, Hon
Sushi, and Ole Taqueria. They
say there is really only one way
for them to stay in business
— Google should pay for its
employees to eat off-campus.
MAGALI GAUTHIER
Falafel and Kebab’s owner says his patrons have been disappearing, as Google and its free employee cafes
expand in the area
But Google executives have
refused, the owners say.
“We are all going to close,”
Awdisho said of the businesses,
saying that many would be
“looking at bankruptcy” to pay
off debts. She has 13 years left
on her 20-year lease.

arrangement was discussed,
though City Council member Mike Kasperzak said he’d
been part of talks to have such
an arrangement implemented.
Chamber of Commerce director Oscar Garcia said it had also
been brought up in the talks,
but Google never confirmed
whether it could be done.
The restaurant owners say
Google executives refused such
an arrangement because the
restaurants aren’t up to Google’s
standards — including the use
of organic ingredients. There
was also the issue of taxes,
Awdisho said. Google executives explained to Awdisho and
others that they would have to
pay additional taxes if Googlers
were reimbursed for eating offcampus.
“As a giant company, they are
looking for pennies here and
there to save,” Awdisho said.

issues Awdisho claimed Google
executives raised were “misinformation.” The spokesperson
added that Google has only
discussed what is in two letters
addressed to the restaurant
owners that were provided to

subsidy to the restaurants, an
option proposed by the restaurant owners in May. “Google
would owe the fixed amount
regardless of whether Google
employees choose to eat at these
locations,” writes Google’s real
estate director John Igoe, adding that such a deal is “not
something Google is able to
support.” The letter does not
address paying for individual
employees.
Igoe suggests the restaurants
change their business models to
attract Googlers.
“In our discussions with you
we have highlighted many services that Google doesn’t provide to our employees, including alcohol service, delivery
and take home dinners — all of
these are business opportunities for you to implement and
attract the patronage of Google
employees.”
In a following letter, Google
does offer to help the restaurant
owners advertise their businesses online.
“We’d be happy to host you
and other North Bayshore
small businesses at our campus
for breakfast in the coming
weeks, where you can receive
personalized training to get
your restaurant set up with
free Google products,” writes
Google’s community affairs
manager Veronica Bell. “These
tools and tips can help make it
easier for customers (including
Googlers) to find your business online and make sure your
business information is correct
in search results.”
Awdisho and Yuksel said
the offers to help with online
advertising felt like a “slap in
the face.”
Google perks
The Chamber of Commerce
also pushed Google’s products,
including something called
“Google perks,” a discount
advertising program directed
at Google employee, similar
to Groupon, Awdisho said. It
would require the restaurants

discount their prices by 20 percent, which would be a “recipe
for disaster,” she said.
Garcia told the Voice that
Google perks was part of “a
holistic approach to helping
those businessmen. One of the
things is to help those businessmen have a stronger online
presence. Attract business not
just from Google but surrounding communities as well.”
In the last year alone, the
owners of say they’ve seen
thousands of employees who
once ate lunch at their businesses — employees of Siemens,
Visa and Omnicell, among others — leave the area to make
way for Google.
“All of North Bayshore is
going to become a Google campus,” Awdisho said. If she were
to become a catering business,
as Google seems to imply, she
says she wouldn’t be able to
compete with caterers operating out of buildings with much
lower rents.
The situation for Yuksel, the
owner of Falafel and Kebab, is
dire.
“I sold my car, and I don’t
have a second car to sell to
pay my rent,” Yuksel said. “We
MAGALI GAUTHIER
Google employees sit outside at a Google cafe.
don’t know what we are going
to do. In two months or three
months, we’ve got to close the
doors.”
While Google is not legally
obligated to do anything about
the businesses, Kasperzak said
Google should be concerned
with public opinion.
“Google does need to be
concerned about the perception of the public as well as
the City Council,” Kasperzak
said. “While they don’t have
any obligations, they have that
motto of theirs, ‘Do no evil.’
Driving businesses out of business is not going to be perceived
well by the community.”
Council member Jac Siegel
said restaurants aren’t the only
ones suffering — businesses
around the city providing services that Google provides on
campus are also struggling,
especially as rents rise dramatically.
“It’s unfortunate we’ve
become a one-company town
so dominated by one company,
Siegel said. “Google has done
things for the city but very
little compared to the size of
this multi-billion dollar company. I’ve gone on record telling
Google they are underwhelmingly generous to our city.”
Google is “definitely going
to run these companies out of
business,” Siegel said,
Siegel added that it probably won’t be too long before
the 16-screen Century movie
theater in North Bayshore also
closes. It draws dinner and
weekend business to the restaurants. He said Google has
offered to buy the theaters, and
would likely propose to build
housing there in the future,
though the City Council has
opposed the idea.

COUNTY BUSY ISSUING MARRIAGE LICENSES
Santa Clara County was gearing up for another week of samesex marriages days after what is believed to be the county’s
busiest day ever for issuing marriage licenses, officials said.
On Friday, July 5, the county issued marriage licenses to
nearly 150 couples, including 27 gay or lesbian couples, according to County Supervisor Ken Yeager.
On a typical day, the county issues about 35 marriage licenses, county officials said.
“It has been my honor to perform marriages for so many loving couples this week,” Yeager said. “Many of them have waited
years for the opportunity to be married.”
Yeager married 41 same-sex couples last week, with many
opting for express marriage ceremonies, allowing them to
marry the same day they received their marriage licenses,
county officials said.
The quicker marriage option launched last Monday, following the June 28 decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
to dissolve a stay on U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker’s
injunction against enforcing Proposition 8, an initiative passed
by California voters in 2008 that banned same-sex marriages.
The county Clerk Recorder’s Office set up the express marriage option in anticipation of the rising demand for marriage
licenses.
With express marriages, couples can walk in, purchase a marriage license and have their ceremony performed at a service
window for a $110 fee, plus an additional $10 witness fee.
Couples can also opt for the standard marriage license and
civil ceremony for $79.
County officials say they are working to accommodate the
high demand for marriages by opening the express window
early at the clerk recorder’s office and opening two additional
chapel facilities.

as Mountain View-based Khan
Academy — where students can
watch lessons on YouTube.
Jazlyn Mejia, an incoming
eighth-grader at Graham, says
she likes Khan Academy, because
it allows her to learn concepts
that Lewis may have glossed over
in class. “Some things she won’t
get to,” Mejia says. “So, I go on
(Khan Academy).”
The students also use an online
math program called Sumdog,
which pits the students against
one another in a math-based
competition.
All of this adds up to a math
class that the kids actually seem
to enjoy. Lewis says they are having fun, “because they’re actually
having success. It’s hard when
you’re in a classroom and you’re
almost getting something but
you’re not quite there.” This class
gives the kids the time and space
and tools to make sure they get
there. As a result they are proud
of themselves and their performance, she says.
Goldman says he has been
enthusiastic about the practice of
blended learning for some time.
He has given multiple presentations to the district’s board of
trustees advocating the approach
to education.
The way Goldman sees it, the
Stepping up to Algebra camp
isn’t just a learning experience
for the children, it is also a bit
like a training seminar for Lewis.
“This gives us the opportunity to
see how blended learning could
work in a classroom environment,” he says.
At Crittenden and Graham
middle schools, the teaching staff
has not had much of a chance to
work with blended learning, but
Lewis says she is already a fan
and planning on bringing much
of what she has learned teaching
Stepping up to Algebra back to
her colleagues at Graham.
“I’ve already talked with some
of the other teachers about some
of the methods we’re going to
steal,” Lewis says.

According to Aranda, the decision to jump in after the man
and his boys came just as easily as his decision to leave the
base. In fact, he said, it wasn’t
much of a decision at all. “It was
instinct,” he said.
Although going with his gut
is now resulting in an award, at
the time the decision almost got
him booted from the Air Force.
Instead of facing a court martial,
however, Aranda ultimately was
honorably discharged in 1961
and told “the wheels are rolling for an award” for his brave
actions.
AWOL award
But that award never came.
Although Aranda periodically
inquired about it and even the
Voice in 2000 wrote about his
forgotten act of heroism, the
Air Force never reached out to
formally recognize Aranda for
risking his life to save four others.
That is until Congresswoman
Anna G. Eshoo got wind of the
story and got the long-stalled
wheels rolling again toward officially commemorating Aranda’s
act of bravery.
When Aranda heard what
Eshoo had done, he said he was
“flabbergasted.”
No surprise
Reid, on the other hand, said
she was far from surprised.
“To a lot of us, he’s been a hero
all along,” Reid said, explaining
that her neighbor’s noble spirit
was apparent from the first
time she saw him interacting
with kids at nearby Theuerkauf
Elementary School — where,
according to Reid, many of the
children came from homes
without a father.
Aranda provided a strong and
positive male presence in the
lives of many young kids, Reid
said, and he was always willing
to listen and help when parents
came to him with a problem.
“He’s been a positive force for
good in this community for the
15 years I’ve known him,” she
said.
Taking a look at Aranda’s
resume, it would be hard to
argue otherwise. He’s coached
local Little League baseball,
helped with the city’s recreation
department, been a youth men-

tor with a Restorative Justice
program in Mountain View and
served on the Whisman School
Board and the Mountain View
Whisman School Board.
In 2002, two years into his
term as an Mountain View
Whisman district trustee, he
had to step down in order to
focus on his battle with prostate cancer. But after beating
the disease he got right back on
the metaphorical horse. Today,
Aranda volunteers as a Spanish
tutor in his neighborhood and
as a Spanish-to-English translator at the local RotaCare clinic.
He also teaches salsa dancing
lessons at the Mountain View
Community Center.
When it comes to helping the
kids, Aranda said that experiences in his life — a father who
died young and the fact that he
didn’t get a chance to raise his
daughters — have made him
especially aware of how disruptive it can for to children who
grow up without a dad. He said
he wants to do all he can to
make sure other children don’t
suffer as a result of being fatherless.
But much of his enthusiasm
for helping the community has
a much simpler explanation.
“This is me,” Aranda said with
a shrug. “It’s the only way I can
explain it.”
Aranda will be presented with
the Air Force Commendation
Medal on July 15 at 3:30 p.m. at
Moffett Field. The ceremony
will be hosted by Rep. Eshoo, the

A
“Star Trek” parody video, line dance lessons, and presidential
hotel suites. These are just some of the outrageous things the
Internal Revenue Service spent $49 million of taxpayer money on at more than 200 employee conferences from 2010 through
2012. The findings, presented at a recent Congressional oversight
hearing, come amid revelations that the IRS inappropriately held
up applications for tax-exempt status by groups with “Tea Party,”
“patriot,” and “progressive” in their names.
Does this sound unacceptable? I’d certainly say so. But the IRS is
complicit in a broader breach of trust with the American people —
one that is threatening the fabric of our democracy.
Beyond gross misuse of taxpayer money and mishandling the
applications of mom-and-pop nonprofits, the IRS is wrongfully
allowing secret, big-money interests to conceal millions of dollars
in political campaign spending and run roughshod over our elections.
All of the estimated $300 million in secret money spent in the
2012 election cycle can be traced back to a single provision in our
tax laws, called Section 501(c)(4). Originating in the Revenue Act
of 1913, Section 501(c)(4) provides tax-exempt status to nonprofit
groups “operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.”
Like many nonprofits, 501(c)(4) groups are not required to publicly
disclose their donors.
The operative word in the law is that these organizations are
required to function “exclusively” for the general public’s benefit,
meaning they are prohibited from engaging in political campaigns.
But in a 1959 rule-making, the IRS turned this simple standard
on its head, changing the word “exclusively” to “primarily.” This
seemingly small change opened up a loophole in our tax law that,
until the Supreme Court’s infamous “Citizens United” decision, had

gone relatively unnoticed. Once “Citizens United” opened the spigot
of corporate money in elections, special interests rushed to funnel
hundreds of millions of dollars into political campaigns under the
secrecy provided by 501(c)(4) status.
This secret money from unknown donors is poisoning our electoral system and our democracy. So long as their primary purpose
is to promote social welfare — arguably a mere 51 percent — 501(c)
(4) organizations with innocuous-sounding names like Americans
for Prosperity can pour the remainder of their funds into political
campaigns, all without disclosing their big-money backers. For all
we know, foreign nationals could be influencing our elections with
undisclosed contributions. Furthermore, taxpayers end up subsidizing the political agendas of special interests.
The IRS attempted to rectify how it considers 501(c)(4) applications this week. Applicants who have been waiting more than 120
days for a decision will be approved if they “self-certify” that no
more than 40 percent of spending goes toward elections. Rather
than pull an arbitrary standard from thin air, the IRS should update
its rule to ensure that 501(c)(4) organizations function “exclusively”
to promote social welfare, as Congress intended.
The burden of ridding our elections of secret money doesn’t fall
entirely on the IRS. A constitutional amendment overruling the
“Citizens United” decision is necessary to grant Congress full regulatory authority over campaign contributions and expenditures.
Congress should also pass legislation that requires corporations,
labor unions and nonprofit groups to disclose all campaign-related
spending or donations within 24 hours.
Our government is being bought and sold on the auction block by
unlimited money from anonymous buyers. That is not a democracy,
and the American people should not stand for it.

VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY
QUESTIONABLE QUESTION
Your ‘Voices Around Town’
question from July 5th was “If
you could marry anyone of the
same sex, whom would it be?”
This intentionally provocative
question has no place in a community newspaper like the
Voice. I’m certain a large number of Mountain View residents
would be offended were this
question asked to them. For
the sake of all our community,
please avoid these questions in
the future.

BAND MEMBERS DESERVE
PE CREDITS
Marching Band/Color guard
should earn those credits. The
activities are multiple. Those
kids have to play an instrument, which involves breathing,
coordination, not to mention
memory and phrasing. They
do this at the same time they’re
marching, moving with 75-100
other people all in sync at the
same time, doing different
moves and actions, breathing
hard and running, then stopping, turning, running and
marching again. All within the
same show!
I know from having taught
and worked with numerous
athletes that they respect what
a marching band “team” does.
And they admit privately that
they couldn’t do it.
“Ordinary” athletes don’t have
to multi-task. They just get out
there and do their thing — run
their plays. With the marching
band /color guard teams those
plays are multiple, complicated
and most of all physical. What
more could one want?
My observations date back
to when I was working with
Mountain View Police Department as the school resource
officer serving not only MVHS
but St. Francis High School as
well, where I taught marching
band for years.

A

spoonful of cumin can sink a whole
recipe. That is, if you’re trying to
cook an Indian dish for the first
time and the smallest bag you can
find of the flashy yellow spice weighs
400 grams.
Enter Savitha Rao. She buys those
hefty containers so cooks don’t have
to, and creates recipe bags with the
pre-measured amounts of spices,
rices, pastas, peanuts and other
ingredients needed for individual
Indian dishes. Detailed cooking
instructions are included. Add your
perishables, such as fresh vegetables
and ghee, and dinner emerges.

in her native country, Rao carefully

not just buying and repackaging. These are my own recipes,”
she says.
Rao calls her business Recipe
Sack. The logo is a peppy red,
white and black, with a jauntyhaired woman hoisting a sack
high. Through her website and
at trunk shows, Rao sells nine
types of sacks and two multirecipe gift baskets.
Chitranna (lemon rice), a nostalgia-inducing favorite among
South Indians, is a best-seller at
$3 a sack. Inside its linen sack
are rice and peanuts, along with
spices and dried coconut flakes;
cooks contribute the lemon, oil,
onions and salt. They can also
add cilantro for garnish, and a
dash of yogurt or curds. Rao calls
this a good starter dish for cooks
new to Indian food.
“My 8-year-old daughter asks
for it at least once a week,” Beverly Acevedo, a regular Mountain View customer, said in an
enthusiastic email.

trying to attract: someone who
loves Indian food but has little
experience cooking it at home.
Acevedo bought her first Recipe
Sack at a school holiday boutique and has been using them
ever since. “Most recipes call
for exotic ingredients I do not
already have in my pantry and
making a list and purchasing
all of the ingredients felt like a
daunting task. ... There are a few
other frozen or prepared Indian
foods offered in stores, but they
don’t compare to the freshness
of Recipe Sack,” she said.
Other Recipe Sack options
include vermicelli uppma ($3),
with cashews and noodles (add
ginger, peas and other veggies);
dosas ($2.50); and vegetable
pulav ($3), with basmati rice
and cashews.
Kichdi ($2.50), a comfort
food of lentils and rice, is Rao’s
husband’s favorite. It’s a simple
Savitha Rao
porridge-like dish that can be
fancied up with eggplant, potatoes, raita or stir-fried greens.
Today, Rao is putting together
a sack for vegetable pulav in
the shared commercial-kitchen
space she rents in San Jose.
Recipe experimentation may be
done at home, but sack assembly
is reserved for the commercial
space. Wearing a Recipe Sack
T-shirt, with a white iPhone peeking out of her cargo-pant pocket,
Rao spoons turmeric powder into
a small plastic bag, following it
with mild chili powder, “a pinch
of cinnamon,” garam masala,
cumin and others. The brilliant
spices gleam like a sunset. Every
now and then, a refreshing blast
of cold air sweeps through the
warm kitchen as another cook
opens a walk-in fridge.
“It’s fun,” Rao says, closing the
bag with a plastic-film sealer.
“Some days I do it as an assembly
line.” She places the plastic bag
inside a drawstring linen sack;
she’s chosen the linen in hopes
of being eco-friendly, and orders
the biodegradable plastic bags
online.
Rao opens another sack, this
one containing the fixings for
lemon rice. “With a side salad,
it’s a full meal,” she says.
A full vegetarian meal, of
course. Rao doesn’t eat meat,
and all her recipes are vegetarian, though when asked she may
give advice on incorporating
chicken stock into a rice dish.
Her recipes are also free of
cream, something she says she
sees too much of in Indian restaurants. She tries to make her
dishes feel less heavy.
The business could be seen
as a culinary inheritance. Rao
grew up enjoying her mother’s
recipes, and her father is a foodie
who loved to take the family to
favorite restaurants.
Rao came to the United States
in 1997 to earn a master’s degree
in communications at Wayne
State University in Detroit.
A career as a public-relations
consultant followed as she lived
in various American cities (she
met her husband in Cincinnati).
The family came to the Bay Area
in 2007. Interested in a career
change, Rao decided to work in
products instead of services, and
her experiments in the kitchen
started to seem like a potential
business. She started selling
the sacks at a school boutique
in 2011. Now Recipe Sack is her
full-time job.
Rao estimates that she has
about 50 repeat customers, and
that she sells about 150 sacks at
each trunk show. She hasn’t done
much marketing, but plans to
start an augmented campaign,
upgrading her website and trying
to get her products into stores.
In the meantime, she’s back
in her kitchen, experimenting
away. She says she hopes to soon
supplement her Indian offerings
with African and Middle Eastern dishes.

NMOVIEREVIEWS
DESPICABLE ME 2 --
While the original “Despicable Me,”
from 2010, wasn’t exactly one for
the ages, it had provocative undertones courtesy of its antihero, Gru
(Steve Carell). Since the first film’s arc
arrived at a nice Gru who embraced
single-fatherhood with three little girls,
there’s little point in blandly extending the story. Then again, though you
can’t squeeze blood from a turnip, you
can squeeze lucre from a hit movie
by sequelizing it. And so Gru finds
himself recruited by the Anti-Villain
League to root out a super-villain plotting to unleash a mutating serum. Gru
reluctantly partners with AVL agent
Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig). Before long,
Lucy’s positioned as the potential
mother Gru’s cute daughter Agnes
(Elsie Fisher) has been pining for.
The courtship of Agnes’ father gets
“Despicable Me” into some uncomfortable territory, with distasteful women
browbeating and/or boring Gru until
he realizes the woman for him has been
under his nose all along. Rated PG for
rude humor and mild action. One hour,
38 minutes. — P.C.
THE EAST ---
Are we headed in the wrong direction?
A collective called The East thinks so,
and its members believe corporations
are taking us there through “worldwide
terrorism.” And so, The East commits
eco-terrorism against Western corporations. That’s the setup for suspense
thriller “The East,” directed by Zal Batmanglij and co-written by Batmanglij
and star Brit Marling. Marling plays
Jane Owen, a fomer counter-terrorist
agent for the FBI who now lends her
expertise to the private sector. As an
operative for the private intelligence
firm Hiller Brood (headed by Patricia
Clarkson’s Sharon), Jane infiltrates
eco-terrorist groups and gathers intelligence to share with law enforcement
as they dismantle the groups. That’s all
well and good for the ambitious and
devoutly Christian Jane until she gets
in with The East, whose anarchism
seems more reasoned to her the longer
she spends in their company. This is a
form of Stockholm Syndrome, yes, but
perhaps something more as she sees
the legitimate appeal of the group’s
intimacy and depth of belief, and the
undeniable, unanswered crimes of the
corporate executives they target. Rated
PG-13 for thematic elements, violence,
disturbing images, sexual content and
nudity. One hour, 56 minutes. — P.C.
(Reviewed June 7, 2013)
THE HEAT --
The “feminist” buddy-cop comedy “The
Heat” proves its bona fides by being
about as funny and as lazy as guyfronted buddy-cop comedies. I’m not
sure that’s a victory for women, but it
will probably translate into healthy box
office. Sandra Bullock plays FBI Special
Agent Sarah Ashburn. She’s brilliant
but also arrogant and competitive,
which annoys the men who surround
her. With a promotion at stake, bythe-book Ashburn finds herself forced
to play nice with burn-the-book Boston
cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), whose technique is less Sherlock
Holmes and more bull in a china shop.
They’re set loose on a flimsy, “Lethal
Weapon”-y drug case, an excuse for
the ol’ odd-couple tropes to play out:
the uncool Ashburn needs to learn
not to be so uptight, while the hard
Mullins needs to learn to let down her
emotional guard. Rated R for pervasive
language, crude content and violence.
One hour, 57 minutes. — P.C.
I’M SO EXCITED --
Writer-director Pedro Almodovar
returns to broad comedy with “I’m
So Excited,” a wacky, candy-colored
allegory for modern life. Unfortunately,
a plot about a plane that has trouble
making a landing could just as well be
a metaphor for the movie. A prologue
amusingly allows Antonio Banderas
and Penelope Cruz to be responsible for
screwing up the plane’s landing gear
and trapping passengers, pilots and
flight crew in a Sartrean limbo. Almodovar deliberately marginalizes the
coach passengers as drugged sheep,
opting to spend most of the film in
the only superficially classy first class.
There, a trio of gay stewards (Javier
Camara, Carlos Areces, Raul Arevalo)
wait on the morally compromised elite,
including a scandalized banker (Jose
Luis Torrijo), a mystery man (Jose Maria
Yazpik), a pair of newlyweds (Miguel
Angel Silvestre and Laya Marti), an
actor/lothario (Guillermo Toledo), and
a dominatrix (Cecilia Roth) to the rich
and famous. They’re joined by one
interloper from economy class, a cheery
virgin psychic (Lola Duenas). What follows amounts to a perverted comedy
of manners, with the characters spilling
drinks, secrets and sperm in a haphazard, fearful response to potential
sudden death. Almodovar merrily doses
his characters with mescaline-laced
Valencia cocktails, while the bisexual
pilots (Antonio de la Torre and Hugo
Silva) carry on a comic soap opera with
the stewards. Rated R for strong sexual
content and drug use. One hour, 30
minutes. — P.C.
THE INTERNSHIP --1/2
Google goes Hollywood in “The Internship,” an intermittently amusing but
mostly strained feature-length commercial for the tech giant that reteams
“Wedding Crashers” Vince Vaughn
and Owen Wilson. The stars play laidoff watch salesmen who apply for an
internship at Google, despite their lack
of knowledge about technology. Naturally, Google accepts the pair, overlooking that they qualify as college students
only by a hasty enrollment in the online
University of Phoenix. Though Vaughn’s
riffing skills remain in fine form, as do
Wilson’s, the story makes every obvious choice. The script also happily tells
flagrant lies about how technological
idiots could thrive in such a competition
by learning programming in less than
a month, or cramming enough about
Gmail in one night to man a helpline
the next day. The production spent five
days shooting at Google’s Mountain
View campus, but shot mostly on replica sets. It’s an effective simulacrum,
and so, in a way, is the movie, which
pushes a root-for-the-underdog vibe so
sunny one might almost forget that 95
-Skip it
--Some redeeming qualities
---A good bet
----Outstanding
percent of the young interns who fear
uncertain futures will be shown the
door. Rated PG-13 for sexuality, some
crude humor, partying and language.
One hour, 59 minutes. — P.C.
THE LONE RANGER ---
Inevitably, Disney’s new-millennial “The
Lone Ranger” is a mass of contradictions, just like the country it’s about.
But it’s hard to shake the feeling that
director Gore Verbinski and executive
producer Johnny Depp are getting away
with something. Again. In a bit of magical absurdism, it’s a 100-year-old Tonto
(Johnny Depp), who tells his story to a
confused child who is the audience’s
surrogate. In 1869 Texas, an action
sequence shackles (a la “The Defiant Ones”) Tonto to John Reid (Armie
Hammer, well cast). He’s the man who
will become The Lone Ranger — but
not before we see him reading John
Locke’s “The Treatises of Government”
and averring, “This here’s my Bible.”
Reid’s arc will be one of disillusionment,
passing through greed and corruption
to arrive at the conclusion “If men like
him represent the law, I’d rather be an
outlaw.” This pop-culture reboot — an
example of Hollywood’s current default
position — operates in large part as a
deconstruction of its source material,
including the Lone Ranger’s historical
trust in government. In sun-cracked
white face paint and with a dead crow
perched atop his head, this Tonto is both
a typically oddball Depp creation, and an
embodiment of the sane insanity of the
unfathomably victimized: If he’s a fool,
he’s a holy fool. Rated PG-13 for action,
violence and suggestive material. Two
hours, 29 minutes. — P.C.
MAN OF STEEL ---
Superman first appeared in the pages
of Action Comics in 1938, so it’s fitting
that action is the driving force behind
the character’s big-screen adventure
75 years later. “Man of Steel” should
give DC Comics a much-needed boost
as it tries to keep pace with rival Marvel
at the box office. Superman’s latest
revamp, courtesy of “300” director Zack
Snyder, helps wash away memories of
DC’s cosmic misstep “Green Lantern” in
2011. Snyder and his filmmaking team
present Superman’s origin in periodic
flashbacks, which break the flow but
protect the audience from unnecessary
backstory. The design team deserves a
wealth of credit for the costuming and
set pieces, which showcase Krypton
beautifully. But the conflagration of
action and visual effects, especially in
the film’s final act, lead to a sensory
overload. The wanton destruction that
takes place during the picture’s bigbudget action scenes is dizzying — even
the Incredible Hulk would say “enough’s
enough” — and the filmmakers may
have been better served prioritizing
story over visuals. Rated PG-13 for scifi violence, action and language. Two
hours, 23 minutes. — T.H.
