ALTA VISTA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES MAKE
GOOD AT COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
By Nick Veronin
C
ontinuation high schools
are often thought of
places where people are
sent — shipped off to spend
their days doing busy work
away from the “good kids” at
the local comprehensive high
school.
That’s not Alta Vista High
School.
It’s true, Michael Aguilar
ended up at Alta Vista because
he was performing poorly, but
it was his choice to attend the
school — and looking back, he
said he couldn’t be happier.
“It was the best decision I ever
made,” Aguilar said, positively
beaming in his cap and gown
outside Mountain View High
School’s Spartan Theatre —
where he and the rest of the Alta
Vista class of 2013 commemorated their graduation on May
29.
It is likely that Aguilar was
pleased with the scholarship he
received, which he will use to

You got a license for that cat, Mister?
By Daniel DeBolt
F
or the first time, the city of Mountain View is poised to require that
pet cats be licensed. The City Council voted Tuesday to replace its 1972 animal control ordinance with one requiring that cats, just like dogs, be licensed,
among other rules.
New rules will also affect those with
dogs or beehives, among other animals.
‘I’m not sure what problem
we are trying to solve.’
COUNCILMAN JAC SIEGEL
The ordinance is based on a model
ordinance proposed by the Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority, recently
adopted by Santa Clara and being
considered by Campbell. It passed 6-1,
with Mayor John Inks opposed, though
several members were hesitant to require
the licensing of cats.
“I question the licensing of cats, I don’t
know why we are doing that,” said council
member Jac Siegel, who is also now the
chair of SVACA’s board. “There hasn’t
been a rabies outbreak or situation in
Santa Clara County caused by a dog or cat.
I’m not sure what problem we are trying to
solve.”
The cat license, which also requires a
rabies vaccine, costs $10 for a year, $26 for
three years or $50 for a lifetime. Owners of
cats that are not spayed or neutered must
pay a higher $50-per-year fee.
Police Capt. Max Bosel said licensing
cats is “a common and best practice” while
SVACA director Dan Soszynski said one
reason for the license requirement is to
improve the number of stray cats returned
to their owners.

Google wants to incorporate wildlife into new office project
PLANS UNVEILED FOR OFFICE
COMPLEX ON WETLAND’S EDGE
By Daniel DeBolt
T
he planners behind Google’s first
ground-up office development
in Silicon Valley want to bring
wetland wildlife into the project, plans
which a wildlife advocate described as
“hopeful.”
The 1.1 million-square-foot campus
slated for NASA Ames Research Center
INSIDE
will include incorporate existing and some
man-made wetlands throughout, and may
even include nests for birds in an effort to
stimulate the creativity of employees by
watching nature up close, said Google’s
John Igoe to a crowd in the NASA Ames
conference center on May 29.
A panel of planners hired by Google
promised one of the most environmentally friendly office building ever built,
with green roofs, man-made wetlands to
treat waste-water and ultra-efficient radiant heating and cooling. Lighting will be
100 percent natural light in most rooms,
for a 46-percent reduction in energy use
and using 80 percent less tap water use
than typical buildings.
The campus could house over 3,600
employees and is slated for a 42-acre parcel
adjacent to the Bay’s wetlands at NASA
Ames Research Center, where Google has
been a partner in various NASA projects
since 2006.
Rather than “completely separate” the
building from its surroundings, the design
“invites people to come out of their her-

metically sealed box and become a part
of what’s outdoors,” said Ryan Mullenix
of Ohio-based NBBJ, the architecture
firm hired by Google. “We actually call it
‘NASA to Nature,’” bridging the industrial
side of NASA Ames to the natural side of
the wetlands, he said.
Mullenix added that focusing on the
surrounding environment was a way to
go above and beyond what is usually measured in ratings for green design.

A handful of Mountain View medical practitioners’ offices
have been burglarized over the past two weeks, according to
police.
Since May 18, five doctors’ offices — all of them located
near El Camino Hospital — have been broken into, though
not much, if anything, was reported taken in the burglaries,
according to Sgt. Sean Thompson, public information officer
with the Mountain View Police Department.
Two neighboring medical offices in the 2500 block of Hospital Drive were ransacked on the night of May 18, Thompson
said. Then, sometime overnight between May 31 and June 1,
someone broke into another pair of doctor’s office located at
305 South Drive, just around the corner. In both cases, the
burglarized offices’ shared a single office building, and in both
cases the offices were ransacked.
On June 2, janitors called to report the back door of an orthodontist’s office had been kicked in, Thompson said. However, it
appears that this was only an attempted break-in; investigating
officers believe that no one actually got into the office.
Thompson said the burglaries could be related, but could not
confirm if they were.
When asked why people tend to break in doctor’s offices,
Thompson said the burglars are often looking for drugs, prescription pads or perhaps personal information that could be
used to steal someone’s identity.
No drugs, prescription pads or personal information appears
to be missing, he said. Police have no suspects at this time.

Lita Lopez is retiring from her family restaurant, El Calderon, after 44 years.

By Daniel DeBolt
L
ita Lopez has decided to
retire and close El Calderon
restaurant in Mountain
View 44 years after she and her
husband first opened it’s doors
to customers.
“It’s very sentimental for me,”
Lopez said through tears the
morning of May 31. It was her
final day working at the restaurant at Church and Calderon
streets, though it is staying open
another month as it transitions
to new ownership. “It’s part of
my life.”
Lopez is 86 and still worked
in the restaurant daily until the
end. She opened the restaurant
with her husband Roberto in
1969 after immigrating from El
Salvador and finally choosing to
settle in Mountain View.

Blind date robbers strike twice
By Nick Veronin
O
ver the course of two
days last week, a pair
of robbers lured two
out-of-town men into a lurid
trap — allegedly using the
Internet to entice them with
the promise of a kinky hookup, then robbing them blind
on their would-be blind date.
In the first incident, on May
28, a 22-year-old San Jose man
was robbed by two men as he
waited outside an apartment
complex in the 600 block of
Tyrella Avenue at about 12:20
a.m., according to Sgt. Sean
Thompson, public information officer with the Mountain View Police Department.
The man told officers he had
used a website to arrange a
meeting with a woman in the
area. The two had agreed they
would have sex on a bed covered in money, and the victim
had brought $2,000 along to
spread atop the sheets.
But he never got the chance,
according to Thompson.
That’s because while he was
waiting, two men approached
him from behind — one of
them held a gun to his back,
the other a knife to his throat
— and demanded money.
They took an envelope containing the $2,000 out of his
pocket and fled.
On May 29, a nearly identical
robbery took place. A 30-yearold Sunnyvale man was robbed
of $2,000 at gun- and knife-
point in front of the same
apartment complex where the
San Jose man had been confronted, Thompson said.
The Sunnyvale man had
also been introduced to a
woman online and agreed to
meet her in the 600 block of
Tyrella.
In both cases, the robbers were described as Hispanic men in their mid-20s,
about 5-feet-7-inches tall and
weighing about 150 pounds.
Adding insult to injury, the
22-year-old San Jose man was
reportedly fired from his job
after the robbery, according
to Thompson. According to
police, he had “borrowed”
the $2,000 that was stolen
from his employer.
V
ow important is it to get
kids on their feet and
active during the school
day? Pretty important, as it turns
out.
An El Camino Hospitalsponsored program currently
in Mountain View elementary
schools has been shown to reduce
bullying, improve student concentration and increase physical
exercise by a national policy
research organization.
Playworks — an initiative
of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that aims to
“increasing opportunities
for physical activity and safe,
meaningful play” in American schools — was recently
studied by Mathematica Policy
Research, which works to evaluate the effectiveness of social
programs nationwide.
The Mathematica study found
that the Playworks program
helped improve the schools where
it has been adopted. In Mountain
View, the program is in place at
all elementary schools within
the Mountain View Whisman
School District.
The program is sponsored
by El Camino at three schools
— Monta Loma, Theuerkauf
and Castro, where Playworks
employees work with the children. At the district’s remaining
elementary schools, just the Playworks model is used.
According to the Mathematica
study, children at schools with
Playworks are bullied less, feel
safer at their school, get more
exercise and perform better in
the classroom.
Though he was not familiar
with the Mathematica study,
district Superintendent Craig
Goldman said that the conclusions of the report ring true.
“We know it has resulted in
kids being more engaged and
active during recess and lunch
time,” Goldman said. “We definitely would credit Playworks
with much of the improvements
we’re seeing out on the yard in
terms of student interactions
with one another.”
Reports of disciplinary issues
have dropped throughout the
district and students are paying
better attention in class, he said.
Though he wouldn’t attribute it
all to Playworks, Goldman said
the program is probably a part of
the puzzle.
“We believe students are more
engaged during recess time and
have fewer conflicts and are
ready to learn when they return
to class,” he said. “When kids
have an opportunity to get some
exercise and they’re not distracted by conflicts, then they’re
going to be far less distracted
when they get back to class.”
Patricia O’Brien, executive
director of Playworks’ Silicon
Valley office, said the program
delivers these positive results
with just a handful of relatively
simple steps.
Playworks “coaches” work the
playgrounds before, during and
after school. In addition to offering supervision, the coaches are
charged with making sure every
child knows the rules of all the
common playground games —
kickball, foursquare, tether ball
and others.
Knowing how to play all the
games is empowering, O’Brien
said, and it encourages the kids
to get involved, instead of sitting
on the sidelines.
The kids also are coached to be
good sports. When one student
defeats a peer at foursquare, the
next kid in line has been taught
to congratulate the loser on his
effort.
And if a conflict arises, the
students have been given the
tools to deal with that too —
rock, paper and scissors. The
simple game is a miracle worker
when it comes to resolving conflicts, O’Brien said, admitting
that even she was skeptical the
method could be effective when
she joined Playworks eight
months ago.
“When they do ro-sham-bo
they just turn around and say
OK,” she said. “It’s kind of amazing that way. It’s so simple.”
The program is not free. However, the schools pay only a portion of the cost of the program,
as it is subsidized in part by Playworks and by a donation from El
Camino Hospital.

The Audubon Society has
blamed development encroaching on the Bay for the sharp
decline of the rare burrowing
owl, the numbers of which
hover around a dozen at Moffett Field and Shoreline Park.
A few burrowing owl nesting
sites are adjacent to the site and
the owls may use the site for
foraging, according to a map of
owl sites released by NASA last
month.
While Google’s planners did
not mention the burrowing owl
in their talk, Google’s landscape
architect, Cheryl Barton, said
planners were working to “enrich
the habitat” and “encourage
species diversity by bringing the
wetland up, in and through the
site in terms of infrastructure.
“Planners are working with
a wildlife biologist to create
nesting structure for bats and
swallows to inhabit the site and
be comfortable with human
beings,” she said.
AUDUBON REACTION
Local Audubon chapter president Bob Power has worked with
Google to reduce the project’s
impacts on the owls, but said
he’d prefer it not be built at all.
“We’d prefer that development
in the South Bay stop,” Powers
said. “If we could magic-wand
it, we’d roll back the clock 50
years — burrowing owls would
be running amok.”
Barton said employees would
find the campus a quiet, restful
place. “On the edge of Bay, the
sense of the Bay is profound.”
Planners want to carry that
through the site and create
and “appreciation of messiness,
beautiful messiness” and “a
stewardship of this particular
landscape.”
She promised that efforts in
regards to wildlife would be
“beyond protective” and would
involve long range monitoring.
Powers said any effort to create nests for birds or burrows for
the owls on the site “would be a
hopeful environmental solution,
certainly not a guaranteed solution. In some areas they seem to
be able to deal with human activity. Ideally they would like us to
go away, I can tell you that.”
To Powers, the bottom line
was that encroaching on wildlife
habitat was a bad idea.
“Let’s do good urban planning
and take care of all the empty
warehouses and office buildings and maximize what’s been
built and not do anything unless

Google’s proposed new campus at NASA Ames, with Stevens Creek in the background, aspires to use the
adjacent wetlands as inspiration.
everybody agrees it’s absolutely
necessary,” Powers said.
In presenting the project, Igoe
said the quiet and isolated location would allow “a frictionless environment” for employees
who “very much enjoy working
on various algorithms” allowing
them to focus on the work.
Mountain View City Council
members have also expressed
concerns about the environmental impact of the project. The
council has delayed a vote on an
automobile bridge over Stevens
Creek that would connect it to
Google headquarters at 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, which
Google says is crucial for the
project. The project itself is
within city limits but outside the
authority of the Mountain View
City Council, because it is on
federally owned property.

Burglar surprises
napping resident
By Nick Veronin
COURTESY MOUNTAIN VIEW POLICE DEPARTMENT
T
he Mountain View Police
Department has released
a sketch of a burglary
suspect who surprised a napping
resident on Thursday. The breakin comes in the wake of a spike in
local burglaries.
A Voice analysis of local burglary reports revealed a sharp
increase from January through
April 2013 as compared to the
same time period in recent
years.
According to police, a resident
of a home in the 1000 block of
Bryant Avenue, near Mountain
View High School, was napping
around 6:45 p.m. on May 30,
when the doorbell rang. The
resident ignored the doorbell
and went back to sleep, but was
awakened shortly thereafter by
an intruder in his bedroom.
When the intruder saw the
resident in his bed, he fled, taking the resident’s wallet and cell
phone with him. A silver sedan,
which had been parked in front
of the residence, might have been
the getaway car.
“As has been mentioned recently, Mountain View has experienced a significant increase in
residential burglaries in recent
times,” according to police. “This
phenomenon is not unique to
Mountain View as evidenced by
similar trends in surrounding
cities in our area.”
Residents are encouraged to
remain diligent, to always keep
Police are searching for this
burglary suspect from a May
30 break-in.
all doors and windows locked
and secured, police said. Investigators believe the burglar may
have entered the house through
such a door.
Police said in a press release
that burglars often ring the
doorbell of a home to see if anyone is home before they decide
to try to break in. “This is why
it is important to let them know
you are home,” according to the
release.
The suspect pictured in the
sketch is described as a black
male — somewhere between the
ages of 15 and 22, between 5-feet10-inches and 6-feet tall, thin,
with short hair. He was wearing
a dark brown sweater and blue
jeans at the time of the crime.
Anyone with information
about this particular case, or any
other burglary or suspected
break-in, can call the MVPD at
903-6344.

Roundtable group takes on school shooting fears
By Daniel DeBolt
I
t hasn’t happened here, but
community members met
last week to discuss the possibility of a school shooting in
Mountain View.
As part of the “Civility Roundtable” series organized by the
city’s human relations commission, over 50 people came to
discuss the issue at the Senior
Center on May 30 after hearing a
debate and discussion among key
community members: Mountain View gun store owner Gary
Kolander, Max Bosel of the police
department, Superintendent
Craig Goldman of the Mountain
View Whisman School District,
psychologist Stewart Kiritz of the
Community Health Awareness
Council and longtime resident
and parent Don Bahl.
Moderator Chris Block said he
hoped not have “the same people
in the same rooms, having the
same conversations, expecting
something different to happen,”
but to have “different people in
different kinds of conversations
in different ways so that different
things can happen.”
The event was titled “Could
Sandy Hook happen here?” referring to the shooting at Sandy
Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn. that killed 26. Much
of the discussion centered around
how to make schools safe and how
to keep guns out of the hands of
those who would harm others.
The goal was to have a real discussion about a divisive issue — an
issue that drives some people “crazy,” as some participants said.
A shooting spree can happen
anywhere at any time, said Kolander, owner of Mountain View’s
Gun Vault. “From what I understand, the man in question (in the
Sandy Hook shooting) was mentally unstable and his mother was
trying to have him committed.
If criminals and unstable people
can’t have access to them, that’s
part of the problem solved.”
Kiritiz, a psychologist, noted
that it would be much easier to
make schools safer than to “than
trying to find every mentally ill
person,” adding that some people
would be discouraged from ever
seeking treatment if anyone with
a mental disorder was disqualified from owning guns.
School safety
Several participants said they
felt the city’s schools were safe,

man, who said he was hesitant to
even attend the event because it
“might be perceived that we have
a problem, and we don’t.”
“Guns are really a non-issue
in our district,” Goldman said,
though students occasionally bring
knives to school, and one occasion,
a girl found her father’s bullets and
brought some to school.
Co-organizer Greg Coladonato said several recent scares
prompted the event. In January there was a lock-down in a
Sunnyvale school when a student
reported seeing a gunman. And
then there was a letter sent to
parents of students in an after
school program on the Stevenson
elementary school campus about
a threat which turned out not to
be “credible” Coladonato said —
“but we were all on edge.”
There was also a scare on Valentines Day at Mountain View
High School when a student wore
a gas mask and camouflage in
response to the school’s “love is
in the air” theme on Valentine’s
Day, which brought police officers rushing in.
“He thought it was a pretty
good joke,” Coladonato said of
the student. “Some people never
got it.”
While school shootings don’t
happen commonly it is a reality
we have to recognize and prepare
for, said police captain Bosel. The
police department trains for such
events, he said.
When the audience broke into
small discussion groups, one
group concluded that school
campuses should be closed and
key card locks placed on doors to
prevent another killing spree.
It turns out that door locks for
schools is not a simple issue.
“Many months after Sandy Hook
and years after Columbine we still
don’t have state standards to ensure
our schools are safe,” Goldman
said. “Dozens of bills have been
proposed about what locks should
look like on doors in schools —
there’s no agreement on how doors
should be locked.” The district
would like to move forward on
major facility efforts, but “we don’t
know what locks to buy.”
Council member Mike Kasperzak questioned the need for closing campuses off when school is
in session.
“Does closing campus send the
right message for something that
is a one-in-a-million chance?”
Kasperzak asked. Kiritz said the
odds were actually “one-in-a-13
million” chance.
While some gun rights advocates have called for arming teachers to prevent school shootings, no
one advocated for that. Kolander
did make the claim, however, that
criminals target those who are
least likely to be armed.
Gun control results?
Kolander claimed there was a
“300 percent” rise in homicides
in Australia when stricter gun
laws were enacted. The widely
circulated statistic refers to the
effects of a 1997 gun buyback
and is misleading, according to
online fact-checking site snopes.
com, which notes that the small
number of homicides in Australia made the increase “statistically insignificant.”
“States that have the highest
gun control have the highest
amount of crime,” Kolander said.
Kiritz said he’s seen studies that
claimed the opposite. In recent
months two studies were widely
reported which claimed that lax
guns laws were linked to higher
gun violence rates.
“I’m suspicious when I hear
about statistics,” said one woman
in Kolander’s breakout group.
During the initial discussion,
Bahl said, “I believe we should
be talking about all weapons,”
mentioning 1970s serial killer
Juan Corona, convicted of killing
25 migrant farmworkers with a
machete, though Bahl described
it as “mass murder.”
“It’s unusual you can kill that
many people without an auto-
Popular culture
Bahl and Kolander also blamed
elements of popular culture for
glorifying guns and making
them alluring.
As an Eagle Scout, “What I
was taught was how to handle
a weapon (and) to respect the
weapon,” Bahl said. “It was not
titillating. There wasn’t this big
allurement. We all had guns, we
didn’t shoot one another. Owning a gun was not big thing.”
Kolander also noted that kids
get their ideas from movies,
where guns are “glorified” and
that their minds go on “autopilot” when repeatedly firing
shots in video games. Kiritz said
to parents of kids who play “single-shooter video games every
day, please reduce the number of
hours” the games are played.
To Goldman, the bottom line is
simple. When students in Mountain View are asked if they feel
safe, students say yes, he said.
“We always feel like our schools
are safe, and they are,” Goldman
said. “We are not seeing kids
bringing guns to school in our
community.”
Block commended the group
for having the discussion, even
though some participants had
been hesitant to attend, organizers said.
“What you all just did was
unfortunately rare,” Block said.
“One of the things I hope you leave
with is a sense of gratitude.”

the gun advocates resist any kind
of regulations (on) high capacity
assault rifles and magazines?”
“They have an agenda,” Kolander said in response. “They want
to remove guns from all lawabiding citizens’ hands.”
Kolander added that highcapacity magazines have been
banned for years in California.
He said he also supported the

HEAT WAVE THIS WEEKEND
The hottest temperatures so far this year will
arrive in the Bay Area this weekend, a National
Weather Service forecaster said Tuesday.
The temperatures will rise Thursday and Fri-
day with the hottest day expected on Saturday,
National Weather Service forecaster Ryan Walbrun said.
The inland valleys in the North and East bays,
including areas near Santa Rosa, Livermore and
Concord, can expect to see the warmest temperatures in the region, projected to reach into the 90s
and 100s on Friday and Saturday, Walbrun said.
Many cities will be about 10 degrees short of
their record highs, he said.
Cooler but warm temperatures around the
high 70s are expected Saturday in San Francisco
and in the low 80s in Oakland, Walbrun said.
The South Bay will get into the low 90s, he
said.
The North Bay hills in Napa and Sonoma counties will be dry Friday and Saturday evenings,
which may pose a threat for fires, according to
Walbrun.
The National Weather Service advises people
to stay hydrated, wear light clothing and avoid
strenuous activities outdoors during peak
hours.
“Whatever happens will be relatively shortlived,” Walbrun said.

Google makes its silver screen debut
By Nick Veronin
A
s high schools and colleges all over the country
let out for summer break,
teens and university students will
likely take to their computers to
search for one phrase: “Google
internship.”
In some cases, those searching will be on a quest to land a
coveted spot within Google’s
internship program. In other
cases, they might just be looking up local movie times. Vince
Vaughn and Owen Wilson star
in “The Internship” — which
finds the two actors playing outof-work, 40-something salesmen
trying to reinvent themselves by
apprenticing at the world’s largest online search company.
The film, shot in large part at
Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, hits theaters Friday,
June 7.
On May 30, the film’s stars
— Vaughn and Wilson —
along with director Shawn
Levy, appeared at an official
Google screening of the film at
the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas
in San Francisco. Afterward,
the three men participated
in a moderated talk and even
answered a few questions from
the audience.
“The Internship” opens with
Vaughn and Owen, playing bestbuds and partners in sales,
Billy and Nick. Much like Willy
Loman, Billy and Nick are a
dying breed — struggling to stay
afloat in the wake of the recession by selling watches. Business
isn’t exactly booming.
Billy and Nick decide to shake
things up and reinvent themselves — enrolling in an online
university and applying to be
interns at Google. The duo snag
a slot in the program, despite
their age and complete lack of
CAT LICENSE
“Cats are returned to owner at
rate of 10 percent, dogs at a rate
of 50 percent,” Soszynski said.
“There is only a 96 hours stray
hold period — a lot of people
don’t realize their cat’s gone.”
Siegel also questioned the practicality of requiring cats to wear
a collar with registration tags
because a collar could get caught
on a fence. Soszynski said “breakaway” collars are available that
come off in such situations.
Downtown resident Bruce Karney, who keeps a beehive in his
yard, spoke in favor of the ordinance’s new rules for beehives,
which say owners must keep
them 10 feet from a property
line unless written permission is
tech know-how. Hilarity ensues,
as they discover their quick wit
and smooth talk is no use when
it comes to hacking.
This is all pretty standard fare
— what you might expect from
a Vaughn and Wilson flick. Yet,
while much of the movie feels
a bit like a sequel to “Wedding
Crashers” — with Vaughn and
Wilson perpetually riffing off
one another while they jump
from punch line to punch line
— “The Internship” does make
an attempt at touching upon a
slightly more serious issue: the
impact the recession has had on
both millennials and older generations.
In a scene in the movie,
some of the younger interns are
revealed to be just as worried
about impressing the higher-ups
as Billy and Nick are. Yet while
Vaughn and Wilson’s characters
are worried that they’ll never be
able to get back into the work
force, the younger characters are
worried they’ll never get into a
good job in the first place.
During the talk, Levy said telling the generational part of the
story was important to him. “For
me, it was huge,” he said.
The quick read on the movie
is that it’s a fish-out-of-water
story. But, the subtext, Levy said,
is the friction felt between the
two generations as a result of the
recession.
Billy and Nick have worked
their whole lives and now find
themselves with minimal job
security in an unforgiving economy, the director said. But then
there are the college kids, “who
have played by the rules, they’ve
done everything right, gone to
the right schools ... and they have
no certainty about their ability to
be employed.”
The movie has been criticized
by some critics as being little
more than a two-hour commercial for Google. And watching the movie it is easy to see
why. The Google logo makes
repeated appearances, and the
name of the company is spoken again and again. The work
spaces are hip and brightly colored, and though the characters
seem constantly stressed about
performing, they all seem to be
having a blast.
It’s also been reported that
Google asked that a scene where
Billy and Nick crash one of their
self driving cars be deleted from
the film. That scene was not in
the movie that screened on May
30.
Then again, anyone who is
familiar with life at Google
would likely say the movie does
a decent job of capturing the
company’s essence.
Raymond Braun currently
works for Google on the YouTube marketing team. He was
an intern twice — during the
summers of 2010 and 2011.
When he first learned he had
been accepted to the program,
Braun said he was ecstatic. “I was
over the moon,” he exclaimed. “It
was such an exciting moment.”
It is exactly that sort of excitement that drew Vaughn to write
the script that ultimately became
“The Internship.”
“There was something that just
felt right about it,” Vaughn told
the Voice, explaining that he never considered setting the movie
anywhere other than Google.
“I don’t think any other place
would have been the same.”
Over the two summers he spent
there, Braun said he worked hard

and was challenged, but that he
also had a really good time. He
became friends with his fellow
interns, took trips to San Francisco and went on hikes — all on
Google’s dime.
By Braun’s account, aside from
the fictional intern competition — which appears to have
been included in the movie as an
engine to drive the plot — if “The
Internship” is a commercial for
Google, it is a relatively accurate
one.
Braun said he views the
movie as more than simply an
advertisement for his company.
He said he thinks the film will
serve as a promotional tool for
all of the high-tech sector. The
more kids who see the movie
and get interested in working
in technology, the better, he
said.
Kyle Ewing, head of Google’s
internship program, agreed. “I
think it’s a great thing,” she said.
“If this movie can put science
and technology jobs in a new
light, that’s great.”

The ordinance is more expansive to ensure the “humane care
and treatment of animals” a city
staff members said. It makes
it illegal to “tether” animal for
extended periods, allows animal
buyers to return them to sellers
who don’t disclose health problems and has more insurance
requirements for owners of dogs
considered dangerous. Dangerous animals’ owners must also
be physically strong enough to
control their dogs, under the new
rules.
A second vote, set for June 11,
is required before the new rules
can take effect.

Los Alto High School’s class of 2013 celebrate graduation
It’s OK to be little naive
GRADUATING LAHS SENIOR MAKES ARGUMENT
FOR STAYING WIDE-EYED AND A BIT WILD
By Nick Veronin
C
lad in their bright blue caps and gowns, the
Los Altos High School class of 2013 flooded
onto their school’s football field to celebrate its
graduation on May 31 — marching in step to “Pomp
and Circumstance,” as performed by the LAHS band
and orchestra, while family and friends looked on,
cheering, waving and snapping pictures.
After some introductions and a speech from LAHS
school principal Wynne Satterwite, Vanessa Barajas
took to the podium to encourage her fellow classmates
not to try too hard to shed some of the qualities for
which teenagers are best known.
Speaking to the 400 graduates, Barajas insisted
that there is nothing wrong with being a little naive,

brash or proud.
Though the three words are often associated with
inexperience, recklessness and hubris, she sees things
differently. “I choose to see naive as optimistic, brash
as adventurous and proud as confident,” Barajas said
to her fellow graduates, encouraging her peers to see
things her way.
“Naivete enables us to focus on the possibilities,
rather than the worst-case scenarios,” Barajas said.
“When I say, ‘be brash,’ I mean be adventurous and
follow your gut. Anything worth doing risks the possibility of failure.”
And if and when members of the class of 2013 experience failure, pride will help get over that failure. “We
must be confident in our decisions and live without
regrets,” she said.

class of 2013 celebrated the end
of four long — sometimes trying
— years with an evening of music and
memories on May 31 at Carl Anderson
Field.
A light breeze blew as the sun set
over the Spartan’s football field, where
around 2,000 family members and
friends gathered to watch 421 of their
beloved high school seniors say goodbye to high school and hello to the road
ahead.
Student speeches, which recalled the
highs and lows of the past four years,
were interspersed with musical performances, by the MVHS Madrigals, the
school’s combined bands and the performance of an original song, “Down

the Road,” by a student rock group,
Libertine Circle — comprising graduating seniors Henri Boulanger, Kyle
Dewitt, Austin Griffith and Gregory
Manoukian.
Manoukian, who plays guitar for
Libertine Circle, said the band will
probably part ways now that they
are all headed off to college, but that
he enjoyed the time he spent in the
group. Though he and his band mates
played shows at local parties and in
San Francisco at the DNA Lounge,
Manoukian said that the graduation
performance ranks among his favorite.
“It was the biggest crowd we’ve ever
played for,” Manoukian said. “It was
really fun. It was a great stamp for
marking the end of high school.”

Alta Vista High School graduate Justin Johnstone gets a hug after the
ceremony.
ALTA VISTA HIGH
attend the College of San Mateo;
and he was surely pleased at
being recognized as one of the
most improved students in his
graduating class. But Aguilar,
like many in his class, seemed
most pleased that he had actually
graduated, and that in the process, he had discovered a love of
learning he never knew he had.
When Aguilar began his high
school career at Los Altos, he
never expected he’d be honored
come graduation time. “My
grades were horrible, and so was
my attendance,” he said, explaining that LAHS wasn’t the right
place for him: the classes were
large, he didn’t feel supported
by his teachers and he was sure
his peers couldn’t understand
what he was dealing with in his
personal life.
All that changed when he made
the move to Alta Vista.
“After a week or so of attending
Alta Vista, I saw that the personal
struggle I was facing was not an
uncommon thing,” Aguilar said
in a speech to his fellow graduates and the parents, family and
friends gathered in Spartan Theatre for the commencement.

Aguilar said he felt he belonged
at Alta Vista, where the small
classes allow teachers to spend
extra time with each student, and
really get to know each of their
pupils. “What helped me turn
around was the staff and their
support,” he said.
Principal Bill Pierce is very
familiar with stories like these.
While addressing the crowd at
the beginning of the school’s
graduation ceremony, he raised
a box of tissue and said he wasn’t
just prepared in case he started
tearing up, he expected it.
After the ceremony, Pierce said
he thinks the Alta Vista graduation is “the best one.” With a
laugh he admitted he is biased.
“All these kids should never
have made it,” he said. “The
deck was stacked against them
— some of them for a long,
long time — and yet, they persevered. The thing that makes
it, for me, so special is that
these kids earned it. Nobody
gave them anything. And so it’s
much more meaningful when
you understand what they’ve
overcome.”
Unlike many continuation
schools throughout the state,
where students get points simply
for showing up and putting in

hours, at Alta Vista grades are
based upon a student’s mastery
of state standards, just like students at Mountain View and Los
Altos high schools.
The difference between his
school and the other district
schools is the personalized attention the students get from topnotch teachers.
Positions at Alta Vista are
highly sought-after, Pierce said.
Recently, two slots opened up for
an English teacher and a combination English-social studies
teacher. Pierce ended up sifting
through a pile of around 200
applications.
The teachers who look for work
at Alta Vista are often seeking to
land in a school where they can
help kids who have struggled. In
other school districts, continuation schools are sometimes places
where out-of-work teachers come
to teach in a subject outside of
their area of accreditation — a
practice that is not allowed at
Alta Vista.
“The truth of the matter is, we
don’t look anything like most
continuation schools,” Pierce
said.
Alta Vista certainly didn’t turn
out the way Marissa Mason’s
peers described it to her. Mason
was apprehensive about transferring to Alta Vista during the second semester of her sophomore
year at Mountain View High
School.
“At first, I was actually really
afraid to go to Alta, because I
had heard of lot of thing about
this school,” she said. “I heard,
‘Oh, if you go there, you’re going
to end up in a gang or they’re
going to beat you up.’ ... That is
not true.”
On the contrary, according
to Mason, Alta Vista’s “family
environment” and the individualized attention she received
from teachers helped her tremendously. The foster child had
been far behind in her studies
and uncomfortable at Mountain
View.
“It’s all personalized to how
you learn,” she said “So, it is at
your own pace. It was such a
great fit for me at the time. ...
Even if I had the choice to come
back to Mountain View or Los
Altos, I would have stayed at
Alta.”
In her commencement speech,
graduating senior Joyce Dizon
shared the sentiments of Aguilar
and Mason. It was Alta Vista
that had given her the courage
to overcome her obstacles, she
said.
“Life is full of setbacks,” she
declared, crediting two Alta
Vista teachers with giving her the
“boost I needed to follow
through. ... This place gave us
hope, gifted us with the power to
believe in ourselves, and so it
became our second chance.”

A 26-year-old man has been
charged in a string of eight
robberies in Los Altos since
February, including four banks,
a liquor store, gas station and
pizzeria, Los Altos police said.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office on Friday
filed eight counts of robbery
against Thomas Andrew Cronin,
a resident of Los Altos, police
said.
Police apprehended Cronin on
Wednesday during a traffic stop
at 11:45 a.m., about 90 minutes
after a reported robbery of the
US Bank at 1001 Fremont Ave. in
Los Altos, police said.
During the robbery, a man
pulled a handgun on a teller, demanded money and fled
the bank with an undisclosed
amount of cash in a car a witness
saw him drive away in, police
said.
Officers spotted a car matching
the one the witness described
near the intersection of Rosita
Avenue and Anderson Drive in
Los Altos.
Cronin, the driver of the car,
was arrested on robbery charges
and booked into the Santa Clara
County Jail in San Jose, police
said.
An investigation by police later
linked Cronin to seven other
robberies in Los Altos, including
the Standard Liquor store on Feb.
2 and March 19, Bank of the West
on Feb. 11 and Comerica Bank
at 275 Third St. on March 6 and
April 11.
Police also alleged that Cronin
robbed the Shell Gas station at
929 Fremont Ave. and Round
Table Pizza at 399 First St.
Prosecutors filed the other seven charges Friday after Cronin
was arrested on suspicion of robbing the US Bank, police said.

they noticed the door was open
and the frame was cracked, they
discovered a room had been

stolen.
There were no witnesses and

THE OPINION OF THE VOICE
VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY
Community counts
in Moffett’s future use
Hangar One may have been spared the wrecking ball, but the
fate of Mountain View’s iconic structure is still very much up in
the air. There’s a real possibility that Moffett Federal Airfield will
become an airport for private business jets, thanks to a muchdelayed “request for proposals” that was released last week.
Companies will have a chance to bid on leasing Hangar One
and its 16 acres, or leasing both Hangar One and the airfield,
including Hangars Two and Three and the nearby NASA golf
course. Under either option, the new lease holder would be
obliged to restore Hangar One, the RFP says.
It’s a relief to see some movement, after officials spent more
than a year sitting on a proposal from the founders of Google,
who through their private plane fleet operator H211 LLC
offered to pay over $30 million to restore the iconic structure in
exchange for a long-term lease.
The prospect of Mountain View’s landmark, currently
reduced to a bare metal frame, resuming a useful life is a good
sign. Whether a restored Hangar One on a renamed Moffett
Field will end up as a billboard for some deep-pocketed leaseholder is another story.
While giving away naming rights must certainly give preservationists pause, there is some indication that community concerns
were considered in the RFP. The document makes clear that the
Moffett airfield would not be open to cargo flights, which should
be a relief to the residents that soundly came out again such a use
when it was proposed in the 1990s. Allowing its use as an airport
for private jets might be the only way to make the expensive
proposition of running the airfields and restoring Hangar One
a viable financial decision. NASA officials have complained that
the airfield is a money-loser.
One key element that’s missing from the lengthy request for
proposals is the need for a public benefit. Moffett Field exists
because the neighboring community worked together to create
it. After a campaign to bring the Naval Air Station to the area,
in 1931 the city of Sunnyvale bought 1,000 acres of land with
money raised by residents of Mountain View and Santa Clara
County and sold it to the United States government for $1 to create Moffett Field. Residents have fought for years to save Hangar
One from demolition and deserve to enjoy it once it is restored.
This history should be honored by allowing the public to give
input on the bids, and by requiring some public use. As one of
the largest freestanding structures in the world, Hangar One
has plenty of space for both private aircraft and a proposed Air
and Space museum. There could be room for a public event
space, and to return the Moffett Field history museum to its
original home in Hangar One.
It’s a hopeful sign that H211’s Ken Ambrose had expressed interest in the past in sharing Hangar One with a museum. When
reviewing the bids to lease Hangar One, we hope NASA officials
bear in mind the importance of honoring Moffett’s long connection with the community and preserving its historic legacy.
DEVELOPMENT THREATENS
CITY’S CULTURAL RICHES
THE COST OF
IMMIGRATION REFORM
As our cities grow, we often
mistake changes in our cityscape
for progress. One such instance
is the projected, 200-apartment
complex on the corner of Castro
Street and El Camino.
Today, the space that the developer is eyeing is the home of Rose
Market, Peets Coffee, a carpet
store, a longtime barber, and sundry other businesses, including
the Sufi Coffee Shop, which is oneof-a-kind. Where else can you sip
hand-dripped, in-house roasted
coffee while browsing the shelves
replete with Sufi literature —
from Rumi’s and Hafez’s poems
to the works of great Sufi masters
of the past and the present?
Why give up such cultural
riches for a bland apartment
building? There are new apartment buildings and condos
already springing up in several
places on El Camino, one at the
corner of San Antonio and others
about to be built near El Monte.
Also, there is a school a block
away. A large apartment building
will generate much more traffic,
especially during morning rush
hour, endangering the lives of
children heading for school. For
adults as well, increased traffic
congestion will erode what many
like about the area.
Let’s keep the gateway to the
center of Mountain View free of
increased traffic, and let’s keep
the ethnically diverse and culturally rich landscape of Mountain
View intact.

Golden Way, Los Altos
Most discussion of immigration reform seems to focus
on benefits for people who
have violated our immigration
laws for many years, but have
not committed other serious
crimes.
I think immigration reform
should also provide benefits
for those people who have been
legal residents in our country
and have been paying large
sums of money to benefit their
undocumented residents.
Many undocumented people
work in agriculture or in restaurants, and their employers
claim that they keep the prices
of food lower because their
salaries are low.
Comprehensive immigration
reform should require those
on a path to citizenship to
repay the money they have
gotten for free education in
public schools, money to hospitals for their medical care,
and repayment of any welfare
benefits. In this way the legal
residents would benefit from
the immigration reform that
is instituted.
We should also reduce future
illegal immigration by passing
two simple laws: 1. Residents
who are not legal should pay
non-resident tuition in our
public schools; 2. Babies of illegal aliens should be citizens of
their mother’s country, not U.S.
citizens.

TACOLICIOUS BRINGS PRICEY BUT TASTY FARE DOWN

acolicious could have been yet another San
Francisco culinary hipster, condescending
to do business in the ‘burbs with a watereddown menu and ho-hum ambiance. But with a
name that sounds like it was conceived by a focus
group of preschoolers, it has to be good.
Tacolicious is a loud
and proud marriage of
Mexican inspiration with
California sensibility. The
black-T-shirted troops
have decamped in downtown Palo Alto, between
Gordon Biersch and Richard Sumner, and brought
in the same high-quality
food as in the restaurant’s
San Francisco sisters, plus
eye-popping colors and a fabulous wall mural by
Paul Madonna.
On a recent visit, we started with roasted mussels
($11.95), in which a cast-iron pan is placed on a
metal stand, like pizza. Two dozen salt-crusted mussels, popping with jalapenos and lime butter,
were hot, plump and juicy.
Tacos are
$3.95 each,
about twice the
price as at a no-frills
taqueria. Even the group
rates — $14 for four, $33 for
10 — are high. Besides receiving
table service in cool surroundings,
you are paying for mostly exceptional
ingredients wrapped in two steaming fresh
corn tortillas from time-honored La Palma in
San Francisco’s Mission District. Two tacos and a
small side dish will do the job for most people.
My favorite filling was the guajillo chile braised
beef, meltingly tender, followed closely by the
crunchy carnitas and stringy shot-and-a-beer
8FFLFOE
braised chicken. A tricolor excursion of salsa came along for the
ride. Habanero, smoky roasted
tomato and creamy avocadotomatillo — yellow, red and
green — beckoned from white
dishes with wooden spoons that
look like potato chips. No plastic
specimen cups here.
The fried Pacific rock-cod taco
was less successful, in a batter too
reminiscent of fish and chips.
The Taco of the Week is always
a good choice. Recently it was
raw ahi.
Vegetarians could make a
meal of tacos filled with asparagus, green garlic, mushrooms
and fingerling potatoes. Other
vegetarian options include fried
sweet plantains with heirloom
beans and cumin crema ($7.50),
and kale salad with cabbage,
quinoa, sunchokes, apples and
carrots in a cider-cumin vinaigrette, topped with toasted pine
nuts ($9.95). Again, this is not
your usual taqueria fare, nor are
there any burritos.
There are excellent complimentary chips and a lovely, mild
tomato salsa. Made-to-order
guacamole ($8.25) and chile con
queso ($7.50) are very popular
and very filling.
Some day I will save room for

NMOVIEREVIEWS
AFTER EARTH --1/2
This is the sort of picture the Mystery
Science Theater 3000 gang would salivate over. The costuming and set design
often scream “sci-fi on the cheap,” and
the performance by lead Jaden Smith
is amateurish at best and awful at
worst. Shyamalan’s solid direction and
some decent visual effects offer a bit of
redemption, but not enough to warrant
your box-office bucks (especially with
“Star Trek Into Darkness” playing one
theater over). Set in the distant future
when the human race has abandoned
Earth for greener pastures, the story
follows stoic general Cypher Raige (Will
Smith) and his son, Kitai (Jaden Smith),
as their spaceship crashes on the one
planet they want to avoid: Earth. Clearly
intended as a starring vehicle for Jaden,
“After Earth” comes across more as a
misguided vanity project for producers
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. There
is an admirable moral undertone about
conquering fear that gets somewhat lost
in the messy sci-fi morass. Rated PG-13
for sci-fi action violence and disturbing
images. 1 hour, 40 minutes. — T.H.
EPIC --1/2
Kids, when you get big, don’t forget the
little people. That could be the implicit
message of all animated pictures predicated on the tiny, from “A Bug’s Life” to “The
Secret World of Arietty.” Since they’re
used to looking up to others, kids relate to
heroes trying to have adventures while not
getting crushed by giant movers and shakers. “Epic” goes back to that well, with
entertaining results. Directed by Chris “Ice
Age” Wedge, the film features “Leafmen”
characters inspired by William Joyce’s book
“The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs.”
“Epic” takes time to establish its forest
world and its struggle between forces
of growth and decay: battles on a small
scale, fought between the “good” Leafmen and “evil” Boggans, agents of rot that
live in holes and hide behind dead bark.
“Epic” swoops through caverns for “Lord
of the Rings”-y battles, soars through trees
for “Avatar”-esque high-flying excitement,
and generally rips off every tiny-people
yarn from “The Borrowers” to “Ferngully:
The Last Rainforest.” But Wedge works
out some moments of wonder and magical
animation that’s dynamic, finely crafted in
its detail, and inviting in its pastel hues.
Rated PG for mild action, some scary
images and brief rude language. One hour,
43 minutes. — P.C.
FRANCES HA --1/2
I know what you’re thinking. “Do I really
want to see another movie about young
artists complaining about how hard it is
to make a living in the greatest city in the
world?” Cry me a river, Manhattanites.
But in answer to your question, here’s the
funny thing: You do. As long as it’s “Frances Ha.” Indie queen Greta Gerwig stars
in the title role of a 27-year-old dancecompany “apprentice,” meaning that, at
work, she’s a second-class citizen stuck
understudying and hoping for opportuni-
NMOVIECRITICS
S.T.- Susan Tavernetti, P.C. Peter Canavese,

ties that seem to be dwindling. Her love
life is one of unfulfilling boyfriends and
dates that pass like subway trains. These
cycles of disappointment make up most
of this funny-sad movie, co-written by
Gerwig and director Noah Baumbach
(“Margot at the Wedding,” “The Squid
and the Whale”). In its environment and
exploration of work life, art life, romance
and friendship, it’s a bit eerie how much
“Frances Ha” resembles the first season
of “Girls,” condensed to 83 minutes.
And yet, if Gerwig’s take is just as quirky
and funny, it’s decidedly warmer and less
snarky. Rated R for sexual references and
language. One hour, 23 minutes. — P.C.
David Anthony Curtis
November 24, 1962 - May 17, 2013
David Anthony Curtis, loving husband,
son, and brother died on the morning of
May 17, 2013 at age 50 from complications
following a stroke. David is survived by his
wife, Margaret and his family Kita, Richard
and Steven Curtis, Shelly Pargh and Mary, Les
and David Kaye. David earned a bachelor’s
degree in business administration from San
Jose State University. He then operated his
own business as a general contractor. Dave’s
clients appreciated his engaging personality,
his skills, and his commitment to quality
craftsmanship. He will be greatly missed.
A celebration of David’s life will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 9 at

William Edward Roth
Sept. 19, 1919-June 1, 2013
The Greatest Generation lost one of its outstanding members
when Bill Roth died in his sleep on June 1st at the age of 93. Like
many of his generation, he served in World War II – with the
Army in New Guinea and the invasion of the Philippines – and
then returned to the Bay Area to raise a family and help build
post-war America. Among the many projects his construction
company completed was the Carlmont Shopping Center, and
he went on to found and run First American Records Storage,
which is now a nation-wide enterprise.
A fourth generation Californian, Bill had Stanford in his
blood from an early age, as he grew up on the campus where
his parents, Mildred and Almon Roth, and his sisters, Betty
Roth Kendrick and Miriam Roth MacKenzie, both of whom
predeceased him, lived while Almon, for whom Roth Way
is named, was Comptroller of the University. Bill attended
Stanford, where he met his first wife, Diana Fyfe Hunter, played
football, ran track, and graduated in 1941. He lived all his
life within five miles of campus, and attended 74 straight Big
Games.
Bill and Diana had four children, all of whom survive them, and
all with a Stanford connection. Barbara (Sandy) Scott received
an MBA from Stanford and supervised the construction of the
Schwab Center building on campus; Richard (Dick) swam for
Stanford and won a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics; Douglas
followed in his father’s footsteps as a successful construction
executive and helped rebuild Stanford after the Loma Prieta
earthquake; Nancy received three degrees from Stanford and
served on the Graduate School of Business Advisory Council.
After Diana’s death, Bill enjoyed playing golf with Debby
Niethammer, who had also lost her spouse, and the friendship
blossomed into romance that led to their wedding in 1999. They
enjoyed 13 years together, and Bill credited Debby with keeping
him young enough to shoot his age at golf three times after he
turned 80.
In his youth, Bill enjoyed hunting and a good prank – including
putting a cow in a third floor office of one of Stanford’s deans –
and he kept his flower garden in stunning exuberance in his final
years. Besides his four children, he is survived by Debby and her
four children, Bill, Steve, Jim and Mike Niethammer, twentythree adoring grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren,
all of whom will carry on the memory of his long, productive
and loving life.
The family requests donations to Stanford Athletics, the Palo
Alto Medical Foundations, or the charity of your choice.
